Bag of Tricks 2

You've been asking when Bag of Tricks, that very popular and useful disk utility package, will be updated for ProDOS.  Well, you can relax now:  it's here.

The new ZAP program in "Bag of Tricks 2" adds the ability to access ProDOS blocks, directories, and files; the 80-column display can show most of a block at one view.  The new version of FIXCAT can reconstruct a blown ProDOS directory, as far as is possible.  You do still need to follow up with ZAP to correct things like file size and load address, which completely disappear when a directory is damaged.

This new, non-copy-protected edition of an old friend costs $49.95, or $45 + shipping from S-C.  Owners of the older Bag of Tricks can get an upgrade directly from Quality Software for only $20 by returning your original disk.


Correction to Day of Week Programs

On page 20 of the December 1985 AAL, change lines 130 and 140 to the following:

     130 FOR I=0 TO 11 : READ MD(I) : NEXT
     140 FOR I=0 TO 6  : READ D$(I) : NEXT

On page 24, same issue, change line 120 to:

     120 FOR I=0 TO 6 : READ D$(I) : NEXT

That's what we get for typing a program into the Word Processor rather than printing a LISTing!
