Each page consists of many items and can run to hundreds of lines each.
XBRA and XNAM compliancy can be checked for on System Variables and
Exception Vectors via a dialog or double-clicking on the relevant line in
the display window.
PROFILE 2 is shareware and costs a minimum of 5 UK Pounds to register.
This provides a key which gives you access to all parts of the program.
All printing and disk operations are unavailable in the non-registered
version.
Send 6 UK Pounds to Mark S Baines and he'll send you a disk with the
latest version of PROFILE 2 fully registered with your own personal key,
together with all the other Linnhe Computing programs (some not available
here). For outside of Europe add an extra 1 UK pound for postage.
Payment is by cash, cheques (drawn on UK banks only) and postal orders
only. Cheques must be made out to "Mark S Baines". Eurocheques, American
Express money orders and bank drafts are accepted in UK POUNDS STERLING
only.
The latest version will always be available from:

DSKCHK - Floppy disk checker
A simple TOS-based program which can be used from a command line
interface, which will report on the format and structure of a floppy disk
and test it's integrity, reporting on any errors found.
SEEKMS - Floppy disk seek rate setter
A series of programs to set the seek rates of the floppy disk drives,
essential for those that have updated to a HD floppy disk drive.
SET_DEV7 - Set device 7 as the default serial port on the Falcon
A little program that sets the default system serial device on a Falcon to
device 7 by doing a Bconmap(7). This remains in effect until another
program resets the device or a reset. It should overcome most of the
problems people have with the Modem 1 port not working, especially after
running several comms programs.
CPX MODULES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
STDCODES - Dial Codes Index CPX
Dial Codes Index is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory
(or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It allows you to find which
Place, Country or Use corresponds to a particular dialling code or visa
versa. Other details are also shown. Over 4600 UK national and
international codes are available.
POSTCODE - Post Codes Index CPX
Post Codes Index is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory
(or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It allows you to find where a
UK Post Code refers to or the Outcode for a particular town.
CHAR_TAB - Character Table CPX
Character Table is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory (or
alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It shows the current system font
and allows any character to be clicked on and its value in hexadecimal,
decimal, octal and binary to be displayed.
KEYCODES - Show Key Codes
Show Key Codes is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory (or
alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS) and is aimed mostly at
programmers. It allows you to type any key combination and displays the
Key Scan Code, the Shift State and the Key ASCII Code. Values are shown in
hexadecimal, decimal and octal. In addition, the ASCII representation of
the key combination is shown and the Keyboard Legend, i.e. that written on
the main key pressed.
CAR_REG - Car Registration CPX
Car Registration is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory
(or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It allows you to find where a
car was registered in the UK and its year of registration.
CALLFSEL - Call File Selector CPX
Call File Selector is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory
(or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It allows you to call the
file selector from within any program which has access to the menu bar and
the XCONTROL panel accessory. It is compatible with all file selectors.
WAY_PNTS - Way Points Difference CPX
Way Points Difference is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel
accessory (or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It shows the
Distance between two UK Ordnance Survey National Grid References and the
Magnetic Bearing of the second from the first.
DATE_DAY - Week Day of Date CPX
Week Day of Date is a CPX module for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory
(or alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It shows the Week Day Name,
Day Number and Week Number of the year for any date entered by the user.
STAMPS - Stamp Values CPX
Stamp Values is a CPX program for the Atari XCONTROL panel accessory (or
alternatives, such as ZCONTROL or COPS). It shows you the combination of
stamps necessary to make up a certain value inputted.
FONTS
¯¯¯¯¯
MSB_ANSI - MSB style Atari ANSI system fonts
These four GDOS bitmapped fonts are equivalent to the three Atari system
fonts and based on them, but include the ANSI characters suitable for
comms on-line use and those using so-called IBM printer fonts in their
word processor. In effect the fonts are those officially called PC-8 Code
Page 437 on the PC. Protext users will also find them particularly useful.
MSBATARI - MSB style Atari system fonts
These four GDOS bitmapped fonts are equivalent to the three Atari system
fonts and based on them. They were designed for those who wanted the
clarity and consistency of the MSB_ANSI fonts but wanted the Atari
character set instead of the ANSI characters.
For both styles, the four fonts are in point sizes 20, 10, 9 and 8 which
are equivalent to the Atari system fonts 32x16, 16x8, 8x8 and 6x6. They
are based on the standard Atari fonts but greatly altered to make them
easier to read and typographically consistent.
The 8x8 9 point font is particularly readable and suitable for constant
use where programs allow.
These fonts can be installed as normal system fonts by NVDI, NeoDesk,
Fontkit or Warp 9 users.
If you ask nicely Mark will also add, subtract or alter any characters
that you want to customise the font to your particular needs. He's good
like that :-)
