Due to the over whelming demand for more info on LOGO for the C64, here is a review from the March/April 83 issue of the Midnite/PAPER by Marilyn Byers. LOGO IS indeed available at Service Merchandise in Indianapolis for $39.95. "The pre-release version I explored is a full Terrapin LOGO language adapted to the 64, not merely a wandering turtle. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the turtle perform all the antics I had previously tried on the Apple][. With the aid of the Terrapin manual for the Apple, I experimented with defining variables and creating procedures to write simple sentences. Using the 64's cursors and insert/delete editing was, of course, much more pleasant than on the Apple][. The TRACE and NOTRACE features of the Terrapin LOGO are very handy (missing from Apple LOGO). Apple LOGO abbreviations do not seem to work in the Commodore version, so typing words such as 'textscreen' is a little tedious." Jeff Porter AT&T Consumer Products Indianapolis
