Wanted: Side 2 of Disk for ANALOG Magazine #38 (Jan. 1986)

[ballyalley]

I am looking for Side 2 of the disk for "ANALOG Computing" magazine #38 (January 1986). Does anyone have it, or know where I can get it?

 

The January 1986 issue of ANALOG looks like this:

Here is what is on both sides of the disk:

The A.N.A.L.O.G. #38 (January 1986) diskette contains 13 magazine files. They are listed below.

Side 1:

Load MAC/65 Program:   LOAD  #D:FILENAME.EXT

*1: See Action! Manual
*2: See Atari Macro Assembler Manual

The second side of the disk contains, among other files, the assembly language source code for the game "Incoming!" Normally source code for a program or game printed in ANALOG was printed in the magazine, but the editor wrote this at the end of the article for "Incoming!":

 

 

Due to the extreme length of the assembly language listing for Incoming! and lack of space this issue, it has been omitted from the issue. The listing can be found on the ANALOG Computing TCS and Compuserve, on the Atari SIG. - Ed

 

I'd like to look at the comments (if any) in the source code for the game. Here is the first side of the January 1986 disk, which contains the playable version of the game in case you want to try it out:

Analog Computing 38 1986-01 Incoming DLI Maker.atr

Here is the executable file for "Incoming!" in case you don't want the whole disk:

 

Incoming! (1986)(Conrad Tatge)(A800)(NTSC)(US)ANALOG Computing.zip

 

Here is the artwork for "Incoming!" from the magazine:



Here is a pdf of the game article and its listing (but not the source file):

Incoming! (Analog Computing)(January 1986)Docs and LISTing.pdf

Here's is screenshot of "Incoming!" that I just created using the Altirra emulator:

Here it is. I just copied it from a real disk.

I really love this game of Incoming because of my first name appear "Conrad" !

Thanks VERY much for creating a disk image, Allan!

 

I booted up the menu on the disk using BASIC and I got this screen:

 

 

I can't select the files and use them without the assemblers, but I was curious what the menu did (I didn't expect to see one).

 

I used DOS under the Alirra emulator and sent the contents Disk Directory to the "printer." Here is exactly what's on the disk:

 

Contents of disk, Side 2:

 

DOS SYS 037

DUP SYS 042

BACKUP M65 006

INCOMINGASM 276

DYNAMIC3M65 015

AUTORUN SYS 002

MENU 020

612 FREE SECTORS

 

Here is INCOMING.ASM (which I've renamed) exactly as it is on the ANALOG disk:

 

Incoming! (AtariMania)(Analog Magazine)(January 1986)ATASCII.asm

 

It won't view well in Windows (it just becomes one VERY long line!), but I've saved the ASM file as a DOS/Windows text file. ATASCII text is replaced by a recatangle when viewed in Windows Notepad. You can download the DOS/Windows version of the text file here:

 

Incoming! (AtariMania)(Analog Magazine)(January 1986)DOS-Windows Text.txt

 

I opened the file under Windows 7 using "ATASCIIView Version 1.3" by Lee Hankenis. I "printed" the file to a pdf using "PDFCreator" by PDFForge. The result is a 20-page document (imagine re-typing THAT!?). The pdf still has its accurate ATASCII text just as it should. I wasn't able to adjust the margin, but you always can if you actually print this pdf to a real printer.

 

The pdf which I created of "Incoming!" can be downloaded here:

 

Incoming! (AtariMania)(Analog Magazine)(January 1986)ATASCII.pdf

 

I haven't opened INCOMING.ASM under the "Atari Macro Assembler," which is the assembler used to create the source code. I've never used the "Atari Macro Assembler" at all. I may check it out and see what it can do. I'm not sure if it assembled slow "back in the day," but with Altirra and Warp it will assemble much faster.

 

Thanks again, Allan, for archiving the disk with such speed. You rock!
