25. VE1BRA says that since he put his ZX81 in a Hammond cabinet, there was no more use for the old chassis. He peeled off the keyboard and cut out the logos and glued them over the keycaps. The functions had to be cut out separately and glued on the front side of the Keycaps; |

| Contest Dupe Program |
Here’s another contest dupe program, useful for eliminating duplicate contest contacts. It requires 16K duplicate and holds 1600 calls. The band variable (B$) should be two characters. The program prints the calls by call areas for each band, but does not sort the calls. Hank used a modified version of KQ2F’s Roster Program (Apr QZX) |

| CWSS CW Program Mods |
Jon took his ZX & CWSS to OE2-land and had to make a few mods to get them working. He says 20wpm came out at 30 over there. By clipping resistor R30 he corrected the TV scan rate and he wrote the following program to convert the CWSS speeds for overseas use. |

| Editor's Doings |
First, I want to apologize for the late issue. I do have several legitimate ‘excuses’, but the predominant one being an urgent desire to ‘take a short breather’ after getting an already late issue out.

Here’s four short, useful routines from Marty. One allows multiple numeric inputs at one time, the next allows multiple string inputs, the next allows deletion of a group of BASIC lines (by putting code in front and code behind), and the last allows deletion of a group of BASIC lines by entering first and last |

| More Mods to the ZXAS-ZXDB |
I read with interest the mods that Rob Suggs suggested in the May issue of QZX and finally got two mods that I have been using documented. The modification to ZXDB will enable a screen copy and I will leave that for last. The mod to ZXAS will be covered next. |

| More on Z-XLR8 |
This is not intended to be a “review”, will leave that exact detail to your fine reporting. I do want to offer encouragement to those who may be a little reluctant to try the “EPROM version.” Believe me, it’s the only way to go. |

| Products in Review |

Anyhow, in April ’83 he began Syncware News, and sent out a lot of complimentary copies. His publication is slanted toward |
