As a safety measure thewhole program can't be deleted." 1 "u2 occupies 2K of machine code which loads to the top third of the screen and begins by re- locating itself to the bottom third where it remains hidden behind matched attributes." 1 "u2 is menu-driven. Options are selected using the cursor keys and activated by pressing ENTER" 1 "u2 is fully compatible with 128KBasic so you can use your Alphacom 32 to list programs. Extra keywords are included." 1 "i.e. GO TO, GO SUB, RESTORE, LIST, LLIST and SAVE LINE >>>" 1 "You can use the Renumber with this program but not with most OUTLET programs." 1 "You can adjust the increment between lines and also the startline." 1 "When you get close, press ENTER again and you're back to single steps. Then just renumber and your program starts 1000,1010...etc." 1 "What you can do is renumber the subroutines including the one that's running now (5000)." 1 "Utility2 is a screen-resident tool which performs operations on a selected range of line numbers. It features a Block Delete, an Alphacom 32 printer driver and a Renumber program." 1 "Use the horizontal cursor keys to adjust the first and last lines. Then move the green bar to Delete and press ENTER." 1 "To prevent the editor deleting the program as it redraws the screen select the Screen option." 1 "This will send the selected linerange to a ZX/Alphacom 32 type printer." 1 "There's a slight chance that a renumber could run out of memoryin which case the menu bar will turn red and you should return to Basic." 1 "The two lines and all lines in between will be removed." 1 "The step between lines defaults to 10 and although it's unusual to employ a larger step, you might like to reduce it to 1, 2 or 5. Go larger if you wish. :) " 1 "The renumber will have worked but in one or two places the utility will have had to use the GO TO VAL ""line number"" construct." 1 "The program was first published in OUTLET microdrive magazine Issue 22, June 1989. It is PD. No liability for loss of data isaccepted. Report bugs to [email protected]" 1 "The last one you can always alter by hand. Should your program have any of the others then it's curtains but watch this space. Just as utilities exist to squash Basic it should be possible to write one to convert the other way." 1 "The Alphacom prefers bold text and in order to make this more readable white space is insertedbetween lines." 1 "The 128K syntax FORMAT LINE 9600will be incorreclty renumbered. Use FORMAT LINE VAL ""9600""." 1 "Text may be indented by pressing< or > when the bar is over the word Format." 1 "Some options are pretty powerfuland at the top of every menu is something mostly harmless." 1 "So, to renumber your program in steps of 10 just move straight to Renumber and press ENTER. However if the first line numberwas 1, you'll now have 1,11,21 etc." 1 "So have another go but this timealter the destination number, which defaults to the first linenumber, to 10.(Use < >)." 1 "Simply set the first/last lines THEN adjust the destination and step, select Renumber and wait." 1 "Remember you can use the lister and Block Delete with any program." 1 "Now here's the best bit. Just asBrian Cavers requested in Issue 12 of OUTLET, u2 can move basic lines past other lines to a new location." 1 "Note also that all references tolines after the program will be changed to 9999 and any to line 0 will not be altered." 1 "Just set the first line to 5000 and the last line to the one before 6000, select a step and away you go. >>>" 1 "It is very easy to use. There's no need to alter RAMTOP before loading and only the four cursorkeys and ENTER are used." 1 "If you simply renumber this program, then it will look a bitmessy as it has neat subroutinesat 1000, 2000 etc." 1 "If the renumber or move fails then lines greater than 9999 would have occured or a clash oflines would have been produced. >>>" 1 "Holding BREAK will stop the printer." 1 "GO TO VAL ""1000"", GO TO 3E3, GO TO PI * PI, GO TO 70.3, GO TO 99999 and of course, the inevitable GO TO a*1000" 1 "Even so, it's preferable to the laborious and error-prone methodof doing it yourself. >>>" 1 "But that's enough . You must be dying to have a go." 1 "But first the bad news. Thefollowing won't be renumbered" 1 "At the top of the main menu is asimple test card which allows you to adjust your telly." 1 "At the bottom of the display is shown an estimate of free memory. This will increase when lines are deleted and may also be affected by the Renumber." 1 "As an experiment, move the linesat 7000 past 8000 to 9000.(the program will still work.)" 1 "Any references to line numbers either internal or external to the part you are renumbering will be altered providing they are simple integers in the range1 - 9999" 1 "And so to the renumber which is special. As you've probably guessed it can renumber all of the program or just part of it." 1 "Although simple renumbering onlytakes a few seconds, this task may take several minutes. And then some." 1 "Alternatively use LOAD ""u2"" SCREEN$ : PRINT USR 16384" 1 "A choice of the default and a bold font is provided and the two versions may be toggled by pressing ENTER." 1 " T E S T C A R D" 1 "If you'd like the program to start at 1000, then it would be quite tedious to alter the destination in steps of 1. So press ENTER and a red spot appears indicating that steps of100 will be used. >>>" 1 "If you want to move lines, but don't wish to alter the step between lines, select a step of 0." 1 1 1 1 1 1
