Below is the table of contents and synopsis of the articles appearing
in the June 1984 issue of ANTIC magazine. They did not produce a
May issue. Thanks to all who took the time to write and say that
they thought this was a good idea. I got no negative responses. If
someone else wants to put the TOC of other magazines in this group, go
ahead. This is the only one I am going to do, even though I read all
the magazines that apply to Atari, this is the only one I subscribe to.

An inside look at the new computers.
38 EXPLORING THE XL
This article looks at at number of interesting aspects of
Atari's new line of XL computers. If you have an XL and
Synassembler, the accompanying program listing will
convert Synassembler so that it can run on your XL machine
without the Translator program.
41 SCROLL YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

animation technique called scrolling. Requires BASIC
and 16K. It runs on all Atari computers.
46 USE BASIC TO ANIMATE
This article, the first in a two-part series, shows you
how to control Player/Missile graphics from BASIC. The
accompanying BASIC program is a 4 player, tank battle
game. It requires 32K. Modifications are included to
run on XL machines.
54 COLOR FINETUNER
This article presents an assembly-language program, with
a BASIC loader, which lets you change the contents of the
color registers--even when a program is running. Requires
BASIC and 16K. Must use Translator to work on XL machines.

the debugging of BASIC programs. Runs on all Atari computers
but requires a disk drive, printer and 16K.

87 SHORTCUTS TO SUCCESS
This article explains the use of macros in assembly-language
programming, and supplies a library of macros for graphics
programming. To use the accompanying programs, you must
use MAC/65, a macro assembler from Optimized Systems
Software (OSS). The macros and demo program will run on
any Atari computer.
This issue also includes some regular columns and reviews and previews
of new products.
