I am somewhat new to the Atari world of computing. I I got an 800XL awhile back and have been getting more and more interested in paying around with it. I have been pretty impressed so far, but I have several questions. 1) What kind of languages are available? Are any of them in the public domain (i.e. cheap or free)? 2) What is ACTION! ? [sic] I have seen several articles posted about sources in this language ( I guess its a lang). 3) What's the best source for info ? (Where should I have looked instead of posting questions ?) 4) How hard is it to connect a modem to the 800 ? How much am I going to have to pay to do it right ? 5) Has anyone tried to type in the program for a Sound Development Package listed in COMPUTE! (July 1986, pp. 69-75) ? I got the first program in OK (I think). But there seems to be an error in line 20. Line 20 = "GOTO 3020", but there is no line numbered 3020. Am I missing something ? or is the program missing it? advTHANKSance, nate. -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ Nathan H.
