MediaWiki:Sitenotice:
2025-12-29: I have restored the wiki to a backup from the end of November. Starting in September 2025, accesses went form the 800MB-1.2GB range per month to 26GB in September, 42GB in October, and 70GB in November with most accesses originating from China. As soon as I realized what was causing all the access problems in November, I shut it down (it had reached 36GB by then) behind a password/login screen. The database had gotten corrupted, and I tried a restore from just before the spike in access but that didn't work. Thus, end of November. I still have the other daily backups so if there were any important additions in December, let me know and maybe they can be recovered. - Allen H.
80 Column mode for Disk Edtasm+ with a CoCo3
This patch will autostart the Disk Edtasm program in a 80 column mode.
Load in the DOS/BAS program from the Edtasm disk. Add these two lines;
0 WIDTH80:PALETTE 0,63:ATTR 0,0:CLS1 2 REMEDTASM
Save the DOS/BAS program back to disk. Be sure you do this to your working copy, not your original disk.
The next time you run DOS/BAS, it will be 80 columns wide, black characters on a white screen. If you are running out of buffer space, edit line 2 to load EDTASMOV instead of EDTASM, gives a little extra room for editing. See my fuzzy screenshot below for a typical screen in this mode.
