Add a New Feature to ES-CAPE.......................Bill Linn

Since most of the owners of ES-CAPE also subscribe to the Apple Assembly Line, I thought I would pass on some neat patches here.

The automatic line numbering feature in ES-CAPE can be enhanced by the following patches, which make the numbers track whatever you type.  With these patches, each time an Applesoft line is changed via hitting return or via a CHANGE command, that line number plus the current increment becomes the next automatic line number to be generated when the space bar is pressed.  (Now ES-CAPE works more like the S-C Macro Assembler.)

Here are the patches for the mother-board version:

!lm+5
LOAD ES-CAPE
CALL -151
E44:69 00 EA
102E:4C 51 9B
1C51:A5 51 8D 34 9B 18 A5 50 6D 35 9B 8D 33 9B
:90 03 EE 34 9B A5 25 F0 02 C6 25 4C 34 8F
3D0G
SAVE ES-CAPE REVISED
!lm-5

Here are the patches for the RAM-card version:

!lm+5
LOAD ES-CAPE LC
CALL -151
E41:69 00 EA
102B:4C 60 E1
1B60:A5 51 8D 51 E1 18 A5 50 6D 52 E1 8D 50 E1
:90 03 EE 51 E1 A5 25 F0 02 C6 25 4C 31 D6
3D0G
SAVE ES-CAPE LC REVISED
!lm-5

I believe these patches make ES-CAPE even easier to use.  If any of you still have not upgraded your AED II copies to ES-CAPE, send me $10 and your old disk and I'll return a new version and the great new manual.

I am continuing to work on ES-CAPE, hoping for a new version around the middle of next year.  What new features would you like?  The main ones we have in mind are 80-column support, renumber, and merge.  If you have some good ideas, drop me a line at 3199 Hammock Creek, Lithonia, GA 30058.
