14 COMPUTE. MAY/JUNE. I JU'\! E. <strong>1980</strong>. ISSUE 4. PRODUCT FEATURE When <strong>Commodore</strong> introduced the CCBM and Professional computers, we were introduced to an upgraded BASIC and an upgraded machine that was more con venient to use. The same can be said forr the introduction of the new 80 column machine called the CBM 8000 Business Computer. There will be two models, the 8016 ((16K of memory), and the 8032 (32K of memory). Both models come with the business style keyboard. The CCBM 8000 series comes with BASIC 4.0. This s BASIC has the disk commands built in. . (For a good description of these commands, see Chuck Stuart's article on BASIC 4.0 in the Marchi March/ April COMPUTE.) The major external difference is the 12 inch monitor. Case size is adjusted appropriately, and the now familiar green CRT is standard. Resolution is good, especially when combined with the TEXT and GRAPHIC functions described below. Internally, the new versionn of the Main Logic Board has moved the second cassette port to the right side of the board (near the rear memory expansion header). You can now plug in a second cassette without opening the casco case. Since line wrap-around for the screen is no longer needed in the operating system, , a number of new screen editor functions have been added. Here is a brief description of each of these. First of all, , the REPEAT, TAB, and ESC keys are functional on the CBM 8000. Holding down the REPEAT key in conjunction with another will cause that key to be entered repeatedly. Cursor controls, insert and delete, and the spacebar repeat automa tically. The TAB key causes the cursor to skip to the next tab stop. Shift-TAB is used to set or clear the current cursor position as a tab stop. The ESC key functions when the screenn editor is in quote mode, or there are outstanding inserts. Hitting the ESC key will exit the insert aand quote modes. In addition, there are 11 new functionsns available. able . These are BELL, TEXT, GRAPHIC, INSERT LINE, DEL LINE, SCROLL UP, SCROLL DOWN, , ERASE BEGIN, ERASE END, SET TOP, and SET BOTTOM. The CBM 8000 won't have keys corresponding to these functions, ns, but with some additional software they can be accessed from the keyboard using a sequence of keystrokes. Also, TheCBM 8032 The CBM 8O32 Lorry Larry Isaacs, COMPUTE Stoff Staff Robert Lock, Editor each off these functions has an assigned character value so they can be accessed under program control. The BELL function uses CB2 sound, so you must The BELL function uses CB2 sound, so you must add an external speaker if you want to use this one. Printing the appropriate character willw sound thee bell, , as will reaching the e 75thh column when typing on the e screen. n. The TEXT and GRAPHIC functions set the corresponding display mode. This involves set the corresponding display mode. This involves more than selecting the characterr set. In text mode the lines arc separated slightly y to make them more readable. In graphic mode the lin es a re brought readable. In graphic mode the lines are brought together th er so the graphics characters will touch. The INSERT T LINE, DEL LINE, SCROLL UP, and SCROLL DOWN functions operate as their name implies. . When scrolling, blank lines are scrolled onto the screen, and lines scrolled off thee screen are lost. ERASE BEGIN erases, from the beginning of the line occupied by the cursor, up to and including line occupied by the cursor, up to and including the cursor position. The rest of the line and thee cursor position arc left unchanged . ERASE END erases position are left unchanged. ERASE END erases from the cursor position to the end of the line, again leaving the rest of the line and cursor position unchanged. SET TOP aand SET BOTTOM are two functions which greatly enhance the usefulness of the e 80 column screen. They allow you to definee a portion of the 80 X 25 screen as a window. All screen editor and display functions operate only within this window, t with screen contents nts outside the window left untouched. . SET TOP sets the top left corner of the window to the current cursor position. SET BOTTOM sets the bottom right cornerr of the window to the current cursor position. . After defining g a window, w you return to use usc of the full screen by hitting the HOME key twice. These functions, when coupled with the e 80 column screen, make the CBM 8000 series an aggres column screen, make the CBM 8000 series an aggres sive entry into thee small business market. Word Pro IV , the ve rsion developed for the 80 column IV, the version developed for the 80 column machine, apparentlyy includes the software necessary to interface with many off the Spinwriter special characters. . We expect commodore dealers to have units in the,<strong>June</strong>/July time frame. Our word is that production the J unc/July time fram e. Our word is that production is well along. is well along.
