Osborne Raises Book Prices

Osborne/McGraw-Hill has raised the prices of most of their books.  In particular, all of their books which we carry have new higher prices.  They are still bargains when you consider how good they are, and how packed with information:

Eighty-Column SHOW Command.....................Robert Bragner
                                             Istanbul, Turkey

I make frequent use of the SHOW command for text files (see AAL July 1982), and I wanted to see it in 80-column glory on my shiny new //e.  If you've tried it, you will have noticed that the command places a character in every other column on the 80-column screen, so you still only see 40-columns of data per line!

The reason is that the SHOW command code calls COUT1 at $FDF0 for its character output, and COUT1 knows nothing about 80-column output.  By calling COUT ($FDED) instead, the text file output will be routed to whatever your current output device happens to be (including printer, 80-column display, etc.).

If you use the Applesoft on page 27 of that issue to load SHOW, all you need to do is change the ninth item on line 100 from 240 to 237.

Here is the modified POKEr, complete with the additions made by Bil Morgan in the June 83 issue, to save you hunting through all those back issues:
