| A few more comments on Cliff Nunnery's RTTY program "NRAP" |
The program is super. It certainly gives you all the nice things that are needed in a good RTTY program. Those have been well covered in previous articles. Cliff has done a super job. Interfacing problems with various transceivers will have to be solved on a one by one basis. Here are some comments on |

| A Short WP Review |
Gesso Software has a word processor progran for the T/S 2068 and the 32 column printer. It is call “WP 32“. The best feature of this program is that you print exactly what is shown on the screen. It is easy to outtype this processor if you are a good touch typist. I rate it |

| Butterworth Filter Design |
This program for the Timex-Sinclair 1000 computer was written for completely automated design of Butterworth low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or band-stop filters. Modern solid-state transmitters are more prone to harmonic and parasitic frequency radiation, and therefore it is desirable for the radio amateur to have access to modern filter design in order to comply with present |

One product can highly recommend to users is the Upstate Labs Eprom Programmer at $39.95. It will program 2716, 2732, 2732A, and 2764 Eproms. The kit is complete except for a ZIF socket and high voltage (27-32V) power supply. The menu driven machine code software comes in two versions for low memory (14-16K) and high |

Check out the new toolkit by Pete Hoffman, Delphic Enterprises, Box 72205, Corpus Christie, 78472. They supply EPROMs for $18, with the Hunter board specifically in mind.

| Publisher's Notes |
The renewals continue to come in although the renewal rate (about 50%) is not fantastic as people change computers. We really appreciate the good words that many enclose. I am tempted to put more of them in the friends column, but do not like it when other magazines publish congratulatory letters so I have refrained. |

| Timex Out of Market |
Timex Computer Corporation announced February 22 that they were withdrawing from the home computer market. The announcement was a big blow to those who have worked hard to support their fine computers. Presumably the reason for the withdrawal was that the company figured that they could not make enough money under the present circumstances. Timex |

| TS2068 64 Column Display |
One of the really nice features of the new Timex TS2068 is its 64 column mode. But it is not as simple as turning a switch. As you probably know, when you use the wide mode, the computer opens a second display file with a starting address of 24576. Prior to the second display file |
