Deegans Desk (News/Commentary)
|
|
|
|
by John Deegan (Editor)
|
|
|
|
I have found it very difficult over the last few weeks of editing this
|
|
fine publication, to comment openly about the 8 bit community. The news
|
|
of releases has been slow and looks to be a that way for awhile. The only
|
|
open commentary has been targeted at the Carina II BBS software.
|
|
|
|
At times I have felt that it would be in very poor taste to even pursue
|
|
the subject, but based on the material I have received this week, I would
|
|
say that this entire matter has really gotten out of hand.
|
|
|
|
One important note noticed was the fact that Ron Kovacs did not present
|
|
another side to the issue. After reading his original commentary in Issue
|
|
#112, I have to say the Ron detailed his personal thoughts in the article
|
|
with a few suggestions. One point was missed that I will print now.
|
|
Carina II offers a money back guarantee. So, if you are not satisified
|
|
with the product, you can always send it back.
|
|
|
|
In looking over past issues of ZMagazine, I did notice that Ron dedicated
|
|
one entire issue to Carina II and subsequent issues detailed a few help
|
|
files from the software. It seems to me that there was excellant support
|
|
from ZMagazine at the beginning, this alone should reflect the attitude
|
|
Ron Kovacs and ZMagazine felt before the problems arose.
|
|
|
|
The Carina II BBS System may still be having a few problems. This however
|
|
can only be assumed from the messages I received. If there are indeed
|
|
problems, I am sure the Carina II staff will take action accordingly to
|
|
correct them. I also noticed that there were a few helpful messages from
|
|
the concerned, with suggestions and possible cures. This alone shows the
|
|
concern of the owners and the team work required to assist the author.
|
|
|
|
If your system is a Carina II BBS and you are having problems, Please call
|
|
the Carina II support system. You can also call any Carina II BBS System
|
|
and get a quick response.
|
|
|
|
In other news, rumors abound the Michigan area and Michigan Atari
|
|
Magazine. In case you havent noticed, User Group material is buried in
|
|
the back of the issues, the price has risen a few cents, and advertising
|
|
isnt the best. From observing the recent releases, the entire flavor of
|
|
the magazine has gone from User Group newsletter, to independant
|
|
publication.
|
|
|
|
There is nothing wrong with that particular approach, but leaving the User
|
|
Groups behind is a real bad move. My understanding is that Michigan Atari
|
|
Magazine represents (8) local user groups. The question I have is where
|
|
the heck are they week to week? Is there an apparent oversight in the
|
|
publishing or editing duties? Are the User Groups NOT submitting
|
|
material? Whatever the excuse, piling the main support of the magazine in
|
|
the back, and publishing off the wall comedy as editorial feedback is very
|
|
poor thinking.
|
|
|
|
How about listing all the User Groups on the cover? On the second page?
|
|
Adding a simple line to your cover stating you are representing the
|
|
following user groups? Lets get back to how you started and not give the
|
|
impression that you dont care. I am sure there are a number of members
|
|
out there wondering what is going on. How about it?
|
|
|
|
Instead of looking into the heavens and producing a financial monster, how
|
|
about representing and reporting from your area. A lot of work goes into
|
|
publishing, but leaving the impression, which I feel others may pick-up,
|
|
that you are no longer representing a user group, leaves a sour taste in
|
|
my mouth.

Copyrighting Public Domain Programs
|
|
|
|
by June B. Moore, JD Member, California State Bar
|
|
|
|
There is concern about the copyright status of the programs provided by
|
|
innovative and diligent members of the CP/M Users Group to the Group with
|
|
the understanding, explicitly stated or otherwise, that the programs were
|
|
contributed to the -public domain.-
|
|
|
|
The term -public domain- means, from a legal point of view, a program or
|
|
other work that does not have copyright protection. The indiscriminate
|
|
use of the word confuses the copyright issues. A work disclosed to a
|
|
specific group of people for a limited purpose is not necessarily -public
|
|
domain- software.
|
|
|
|
A new federal copyright law went into effect on January 1, 1978, which
|
|
complicates the following discussion for that software written and/or
|
|
contributed prior to that date. I will start with a discussion of the law
|
|
as it applies now and to programs written after January 1, 1978. The new
|
|
law is Title 17, U.S. Code.
|
|
|
|
Any written material (including computer programs) fixed in a tangible
|
|
form (written somewhere, ie a printout) is considered copyrighted without
|
|
any additional action on the part of the author. Thus, it is not
|
|
necessary that a copy of the program be deposited with the Copyright
|
|
Office in Washington for the program to be protected as copyrighted.
|
|
|
|
A contribution of a program to the members of the public (CP/M Users Group)
|
|
for their noncommercial use constitutes a license for that purpose and
|
|
that purpose only. It does not destroy the programmers rights in the
|
|
copyright to the program. HOWEVER, the government does not enforce the
|
|
programmers rights. A copyright is a property right, just like the right
|
|
you have in the house you own. If someone trespasses on your property,
|
|
the cops may come and put the fellow in jail, but they will not stop him
|
|
from doing it again nor will they procure compensation for any damage the
|
|
intruder may have done to your property. You have to do that yourself by
|
|
going to court. So it is with copyrights. In order to prevent anyone
|
|
from selling your programs you must ask a court (federal) to stop him by
|
|
an injunction and to give you damages for the injury he has done to you
|
|
by selling the program.
|
|
|
|
Going to court requires that the program be registered with the Copyright
|
|
Office in Washington,D.C. The fee is $10.
|
|
|
|
The government will prosecute CRIMINAL copyright infringements, such as
|
|
where someone simply copies (as in copying an audio or videotape) for
|
|
profit, and when the government can show criminal intent (ie, knowing
|
|
violation of the law or fraud in the acts of the copier). This is not
|
|
done very frequently except in the case of wholesale audio and video
|
|
taping pirates.
|
|
|
|
The copyright law has a concept known as a -derivative work.- A
|
|
derivative work is one which is based on a work already entitled to and
|
|
protected by copyright. The original author of a work has the sole rights
|
|
to -derivative- works derived from his work. He can authorize (license)
|
|
others to prepare derivative works from his work, as in the case of a
|
|
programmer of a Users Group program who says -If anyone fixes this for a
|
|
DCHayes MM-100, let me know.- I suspect that many of the programs
|
|
contributed to the Group and their modifications fall within this category
|
|
of license - that is, users have been allowed to prepare derivative works.
|
|
However, the original author does not lose his original copyright! And all
|
|
the derivative works made using the original are dependent on the
|
|
continuation of the license except as to the parts added by the author
|
|
of the derivative works.
|
|
|
|
A simple explanation might help: A program provides for generating data
|
|
showing ratios for sales to inventory turnovers (I know the example is
|
|
silly), and the output is simply a bunch of numbers. The second programmer
|
|
decides to enhance the program by turning the numbers into some kind of
|
|
chart or graph. The program that generated the numbers is protected as
|
|
to the original author. The output formatting ONLY is protected as a
|
|
license derivative work to the second programmer.
|
|
|
|
The restriction placed on the programs in recent years limiting use to
|
|
individuals on their personal machines and denying use of a program for
|
|
commercial purposes is probably a valid restriction of the license granted
|
|
in the CP/M Users Group Library. It constitutes fair warning to all who
|
|
would lift the program and attempt to convert it to commercial purposes
|
|
that such use is not licensed. It is not clear that such restriction
|
|
applies automatically to earlier donations to the Group, unless there is
|
|
something explicit in the documentation that accompanies the work itself
|
|
when it is distributed.
|
|
|
|
In many instances, the programs donated prior to 1978 were not copy-
|
|
righted (that is, contained no copyright notice and were not registered
|
|
with the Copyright Office). The status of these programs is not clear,
|
|
although a case can be made that they were initially distributed only to
|
|
paid-up members of the CP/M Users Group. My documentation from the Users
|
|
Group, which is undated but which is postmarked June 13, 1978, states -The
|
|
material [donations of programs] is received by the Group with the
|
|
understanding that the contributor is authorized to make it available to
|
|
hobbiests for their individual non-commercial use.....Members receiving
|
|
material are free and encouraged to share it with other hobbiests for
|
|
their individual non-commercial use.-
|
|
|
|
The membership information included a request for any member's knowledge
|
|
of persons violating the non-commercial restriction on the programs
|
|
distributed. A membership fee of $4 was charged for 1978 as a
|
|
prerequisite to receiving material.
|
|
|
|
This limitation on the prospective use of a program obtained from the
|
|
group indicates that the distribution was limited to non-commercial users.
|
|
Pre-1/1/78 software that was not automatically copyrighted and did not
|
|
contain a copyright notice could be protected only under state laws in
|
|
existence at that time. The state laws varied considerably but generally
|
|
the rule is that, if the work was not distributed willy-nilly to the
|
|
public without restriction, the state law protected the work even if the
|
|
federal law niceties were not complied with.
|
|
|
|
The problem is whether the restrictions of the CP/Users Group distribution
|
|
were sufficient limitations on the -publication- of the program.
|
|
Publication destroys a state law copyright, making the work free to all.
|
|
-Publication- here means making it available to the public at large, even
|
|
though restrictions were placed on the initial disclosure of the program.
|
|
That is something only the court or jury actually hearing the case can
|
|
decide and may well turn on facts not available to me. For example, was
|
|
any real effort made to prevent computer stores from distributing the
|
|
programs to their customers who were not members of the Group? Were the
|
|
non-commercial use limitations explained to those customers? To the
|
|
computer stores?
|
|
|
|
One other concern has been expressed by some program authors, those
|
|
authors who have desired not to have their programs modified but whose
|
|
programs have nonetheless been modified. Referring to the discussion
|
|
above about the limitations on use of contributed programs, if the
|
|
limitation did not authorize anything but -use- of the program, then the
|
|
modifications constituted -derivative- works that were not authorized.
|
|
This, unfortunately, would be a very tricky thing to prove, and it would
|
|
have to be proved - how did the parties understand the authorization to
|
|
use the programs (ie, was modification prevented but noncommercial use
|
|
allowed?). If there was an implied license to modify (for example,
|
|
because the program was included with other programs in which modifications
|
|
were explicitly authorized), it might be very difficult to prove
|
|
infringement under either the state or federal law, depending on which was
|
|
applicable.
|
|
|
|
It should be clear from the above, however, that modifications of programs
|
|
entitled to copyright protection are infringements if they are not
|
|
authorized by the owner of the copyright in the original program. The
|
|
problem is in the proof of lack of authorization.
|
|
|
|
Since January 1, 1978, all programs are protected by federal copyright
|
|
laws without regard to copyright notice or registration with the Copyright
|
|
Office and the state laws no longer apply. The federal law -preempted-
|
|
the state laws on that date. But the federal rules apply across the board
|
|
ONLY to works first -fixed- or -written- after that date. However,
|
|
improvements or modifications in one's own program can qualify for federal
|
|
copyright protection under the new law and perhaps those interested or
|
|
affected by the problem should make formal registration of their works as
|
|
well as including the copyright notice somewhere in the program.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
It is obvious that most volunteer programmers do not have the finances
|
|
or time, or inclination for that matter, to pursue a legal remedy in the
|
|
courts. At the same time, they do not want the software they authored to
|
|
be used by others for commercial gain without some control over its use.
|
|
|
|
I suggest that microcomputer software authors nation-wide form an
|
|
organization similar to that of ASCAP or BMI, although on a smaller scale, to
|
|
monitor improper uses of software donated to the hobbiest for personal
|
|
use. Only through concentrating the efforts and power of all authors can
|
|
real protection be obtained. Otherwise, the unscrupulous vendor is going
|
|
to take his chances that the individual programmer will not or can not
|
|
defend his copyright.
|
|
|
|
Such a group might be formed with the support of an active computer group
|
|
like the NJ Amateur Computer Group or the Homebrew Computer Club in
|
|
California. Or it could be established independently if there were
|
|
sufficient interest and an organizer could be found to do the necessary
|
|
paperwork, collect the dues needed to provide a war chest, and hire the
|
|
attorneys and other persons necessary. It wouldn't have to be a full
|
|
time job for anyone but it would have to be more than volunteer activity.
|
|
|
|
My suggestion appeared (anonymously) in an article in the July 1982
|
|
Microcomputing. I am not interested in doing it, although I would
|
|
cooperate with any efforts along these lines with counsel and advice.
|
|
|
|
I suggest, however, that an early attack, which might include programmers
|
|
for profit whose programs are slightly modified by fly-by-night vendors
|
|
without compensation, will establish the principles necessary to deter
|
|
future invasions of your copyrights.

CompuServe Atari 8-Bit Forum Filename Policy
|
|
|
|
Since February, 1987, SIG*ATARI has been accepting files with 'standard'
|
|
Atari filename extenders. The right choice of an extender makes things
|
|
MUCH easier for those who will be downloading your contributions from the
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
Please include an extender in the name of every file you upload! And
|
|
remember, CompuServe filenames are only SIX characters long with a
|
|
3-character extender. If you specify a longer name, the extra characters
|
|
will be ignored.
|
|
|
|
Here's the official suggested filename extenders:
|
|
|
|
OBJ - Machine Language object file
|
|
EXE - 'Load and Go' Object file
|
|
COM - SpartaDOS COMmand file
|
|
BAS - SAVEd Atari BASIC program
|
|
LST - LISTed BASIC program
|
|
BXL - SAVEd BASIC XL program
|
|
BXE - SAVEd BASIC XE Program
|
|
TUR - SAVEd TURBO BASIC Program
|
|
PIC - Picture Data file
|
|
AMS - Atari Music System song file
|
|
DOC - Documentation file
|
|
TXT - Text file
|
|
ASM - LISTed assember source code
|
|
M65 - SAVEd MAC65 source code file
|
|
ACT - Action! source code file
|
|
PAS - Pascal source code file
|
|
CTB - Compiled Turbo BASIC program
|
|
ARC - ARChived file (see below)
|
|
ALF - ALF CRUNCH file (see below)
|
|
DCM - DISKCOM file (see below)
|
|
BIN - CIS 'A-protocol' files ONLY
|
|
|
|
We ask that you do not use .XMO for an XMODEM file; using a standard
|
|
extender helps to identify a file's contents more easily.
|
|
|
|
Also, we strongly request that you do not use CompuServe's 'A' protocol
|
|
when uploading new files. Please use Xmodem or CompuServe 'B' protocol
|
|
when uploading files. If you have no choice but to use 'A', PLEASE be
|
|
sure to use the .BIN extender in the filename and CLEARLY state in your
|
|
file's description that it was uploaded using CompuServe 'A' protocol.
|
|
|
|
Please note that some files uploading before February, 1987 may still
|
|
have the .XMO and .BIN filename extenders.
|
|
|
|
A Word About File Types...
|
|
|
|
As you have undoubtedly noticed, many of the files in the libraries are
|
|
listed with -/binary- appended to the filename. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THESE
|
|
FILES NEED TO BE BINARY LOADED!!
|
|
|
|
CompuServe classifies each file as one of the following:
|
|
|
|
ASCII -- Standard 7-bit ASCII text file that can be 'captured' or <R>ead
|
|
online
|
|
|
|
BINARY -- 8-bit program or data file that MUST be downloaded using an
|
|
error-checking protocol such as Xmodem or CompuServe 'B' protocol.
|
|
|
|
RLE -- Run Length Encoded picture file (can be viewed online using
|
|
VIDTEX or TSCOPE)
|
|
|
|
GIF -- Graphics Interchange Format picture file (can be viewed offline
|
|
using the 8 bit GIF viewer)
|
|
|
|
CompuServe appends -/binary- next to the names of 8-bit files, -/rle- next
|
|
to RLE picture filenames, and -/gif- next to GIF picture filenames. All
|
|
other files are ASCII text.
|
|
|
|
Files that contain 8-bit data (any character with an ASCII value greater
|
|
than 127) MUST be uploaded as a 'binary' file! This includes SAVEd BASIC
|
|
programs, object ('load') files, ARC files, etc. When uploading, you can
|
|
choose this option by specifying 'TYPE:binary', or selecting the '8 bit'
|
|
Menu Choice.
|
|
|
|
=== ARC, ALF, DISKCOM ===
|
|
|
|
If you want to upload a number of related files to the Library, we
|
|
suggest you use one or the other of these 'file compaction' programs. All
|
|
are available in Library 3. There are many similar programs around, but
|
|
we'd like to standardize on the following:
|
|
|
|
ARC is used to archive a number of related files into a single compressed
|
|
file. ARC uses a sophisticated scheme to compress these files - an ARChive
|
|
may end up only half the size of the original files, or even less in some
|
|
cases. That translates into less time (and $$$) to download the ARChive.
|
|
|
|
ALF is similar to ARC, but usually yields more compact files, and works
|
|
faster. However, unlike ARC, which is also used on other computers (e.g.,
|
|
ST, IBM), ALF files can ONLY be extracted on an Atari 8-bit.
|
|
|
|
DISKCOM compacts an ENTIRE DISK into one file for easy uploading and
|
|
downloading.
|
|
|
|
Experimentation is encouraged before you upload to see which method yields
|
|
the most efficient results for your application.
|
|
|
|
Whichever method you choose, remember:
|
|
|
|
Don't include 'standard' files that most people already have. For
|
|
example, don't include DOS 2.5, RAMDISK.COM, or the Turbo Basic
|
|
interpreter. These just make your file take up more space and cost more
|
|
time and money to download. If one of these 'standard' files is needed,
|
|
just mention the fact in the file description; those who don't already
|
|
have the necessary file can download it separately.
|
|
|
|
Do choose 'binary' as the file TYPE when you upload an ARC, ALF, or
|
|
DISKCOM file! These all contain 8-bit data, and any other choice will
|
|
make the file unusable.
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask any of the SYSOPs
|
|
for more info!!

Atari 8 Bit News Update
|
|
by John Nagy
|
|
|
|
Atari's former User Group Coordinator Sandy Austin was apparently only
|
|
one of many faces that have changed in the administrative revolving door
|
|
we call ATARI. CINDY CLAVERAN was appointed as new User Group Coordinator
|
|
by Sig Hartmann, Atari President of Software (at least a few familiar
|
|
names remain!). Cindy will be working on the User Group News, under the
|
|
ATARI COMPUTER banner, along with new editor Elizabeth Shook.. You can
|
|
contact her at Atari Corp (408) 745-2569, or on GEnie by her address
|
|
-Cindy.C-.
|
|
|
|
User group officers in the Los Angeles area who had met with the momentary
|
|
officials are stunned, but not surprized. -It seems that every time ATARI
|
|
gets someone who knows what they are doing and seems like a positive mover,
|
|
they fire them,- said LA-ACE President Bill Lurie. He referred to the
|
|
growing list of Breifly Employed Atarians like Jerry Brown, who brought
|
|
his APPLE marketing expertise to ATARI for about 60 days last year.
|
|

The departed officers who have been willing to say anything about their
|
|
experiences at Sunnyvale agree: it's not easy working with the Tramiels.
|
|
Lets hope that the -rugged individualist- attitude at ATARI will
|
|
eventually allow SOMEONE to bring proven and fresh marketing and sales
|
|
ideas into the seemingly drifting ATARI.
|
|
|
|
Loose ends: Last time I mentioned that NEWSROOM for the 8-bit Atari was
|
|
finally released but had a bug preventing use with the standard Atari 850
|
|
Interface. I got several -Newsrooomed- letters demonstrating that I was
|
|
wrong, and several more thanking me for telling them why they couldn't get
|
|
anywhere with their copy. This means one or more of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Springboard Software (Not SPINNAKER as I mistakenly called them last
|
|
time) may have fixed the bug in some later copies of NEWSROOM;
|
|
2) the bug report was false and many people simply can't follow
|
|
directions; or
|
|
3) there are SOME 850's it will work on and SOME that it won't. I favor
|
|
the last possibility.
|
|
|
|
There are at least two distinctly different 850's... and they are different
|
|
enough that some DOS packages even offer two different handlers for the
|
|
R: modem port. If I find out for sure, I'll pass it along. Notice,
|
|
however, that no other interface has had the problem reported.
|
|
|
|
Also updating an older story, here's more on keyboard repairs for the
|
|
Atari 8-bits. The -resistor addition- console key repair for the XE
|
|
series suggested 3,000 ohm resistors jumperig the START, SELECT, and
|
|
OPTION key connections at the keyboard connector socket. Some users have
|
|
found that for their particular machine, 3,000 was too low, causing TOO
|
|
sensitive a touch or even uncontrolled repeating of the console key press.
|
|
If this happens, try 5,000 or even higher. At about 18 cents per resistor,
|
|
you can afford to try several until you like the result.
|
|
|
|
TIDBITS:
|
|
Can you believe it? The Atari IBM PC clone lineup is still -coming-,
|
|
according to recent Company objections to stories awarding it the
|
|
-ultimate vaporware-.
|
|
|
|
Also still coming is ADOS, now re-dubbed -DOS XE- or -XEDOS- depending on
|
|
when you ask. It is the new Disk Operating System from Atari that will
|
|
support the XF551 disk drive in its double sided mode. Although there is
|
|
a version of SpartaDos (from ICD/OSS Corp.) that accomplishes this now,
|
|
and I beleive that MYDOS can be persuaded to support it as well, ADOS was
|
|
supposed to be a public domain inclusion with the drives. When the drives
|
|
were ready and the DOS was not, the decision to ship with DOS 2.5 (ugh!)
|
|
was made, with ADOS to follow in the public domain. Now, it appears that
|
|
DOS XE will be sold commercially by Atari, although probably with a low
|
|
price, and user redistribution may or may not be permitted. It should be
|
|
noted that the new DOS requires 64K or more (an XL or an XE) and will not
|
|
operate on the old 800 series of computers.
|
|
|
|
Another delayed software item is now making its way to dealer shelves.
|
|
The EXPRESS! terminal program specially made for the Atari SX212 1200 baud
|
|
modem is available at last, with a SIO daisy-chain cable for the 8-bit
|
|
Atari. The price is $19.95. Of course, most SX212 owners already have
|
|
a copy of the Keith Ledbetter's modified EXPRESS! program that has been
|
|
available for some time... and won't need another cable either. But for
|
|
those who do, it's now available. Atari has had to defend itself for not
|
|
including the cable and software in the original package. Their very
|
|
reasonable response has been that the modem is useable on any brand of
|
|
computer, and is being marketed as an all purpose unit (and a very good
|
|
buy at under $100). To lose (and charge for) an SIO cable and 8-bit
|
|
disk in every package, regardless of the buyer's brand of machine, would
|
|
indeed be foolish.
|
|
|
|
By the way, XF551 owners report that some older commercial program copy
|
|
protection schemes are keeping them from using their new drives. The
|
|
latest reports say M.U.L.E. and Pinball Construction set won't load,
|
|
while ARCHON actually loads better than from a 1050.
|
|
|
|
Of course a new set of cartridge format games, both new and revisited,
|
|
are coming soon. Look for an adventure game, bases on the old calssic
|
|
-ADVENTURE-, but with 26 levels, called DARK CHAMBERS. It will be
|
|
available on all three game formats, 2600, 7800, and XEGS.
|
|
|
|
And by January there may be another game machine in the Atari stable.
|
|
Based on the ST. -STGS-? Computer users hope the ST name won't be used
|
|
and thus diluted, but software compatibility would be welcomed.
|
|
|
|
FLASH!
|
|
|
|
Atari mail order DOES still exist... direct from ATARI (retail prices
|
|
of course). You can get a price list from Customer Relations, (408)
|
|
745-2367, or by mail at Atari Corporation, P.O. Box 61657, Sunnyvale,
|
|
CA 94088, Attention Customer Services.
|
|
|
|
Mail-order repairs and replacements for almost anything with ATARI's name
|
|
on it are also available direct from the company. Remember the stories
|
|
about trade-ups of 400's and 600XL's to 800XL's? It still is in effect,
|
|
althought he price has risen. Now, $50 and any ATARI 8-bit computer in
|
|
any condition will get you an 800XL by return mail.
|
|
|
|
Trades are also available for the wiz-bang ATARI 1027 letter-quality
|
|
printer. $75 and your 1027 clunker gets you up to the new and surprizingly
|
|
good quality but slow XDM121. It is a tank of a printer and weighs a ton,
|
|
but the true Daisy-Wheel print (a Silver-Reed clone, according to a
|
|
salesman at Federated) is reasonably quiet, solid, and outstanding to
|
|
look at. It should let you interchange font wheels, and a tractor feed
|
|
is supposedly planned (yes, it is only friction feed at this point).
|
|
Like the 1027, it requires no interface for use on the 8-bit Atari's.
|
|
Retailing alone at $249, it is a terrible deal, but for $75 and
|
|
somebodies junk for trade, it is a bargain.
