Does anyone know where I can obtain the LOGO (or SEELOGO) software? My daughter
will be working with it on an Apple and I remember last year a discussion on it
came up on this group. I have a C128 and would like to have it available at
home. Is it PD or commercial (and if commercial, do you have an address?)
Thanks for your response,
Tom

Is it PD or commercial (and if commercial, do you have an address?) Commodore puts out a version derived from the same Terrapin LOGO as the Apple ][ uses. I bought C= LOGO years ago for $39.00. About 1 yr ago I picked up a new C64 version for $1.00, including the ~200pp. manual! The original manual was a huge 9x11" book but the new manual had a reduced format, about 5x8". The smaller format is more convenient, IMO. It's a pretty nice little system, though I never did anything ``serious'' with it. So look around on those back shelves for those ``slow moving'' items. (For some reason LOGO never caught on big.) You might also want to look into COMAL. It has Turtle graphics like LOGO, but is more of a cross between Pascal and BASIC. Comal 0.14 is available free for the C64. There was a magazine called Comal Today, but it's been a couple of years since I heard anything on it. Both languages take quite a while to load (C64 + 1541) and don't leave a whole lot of space left for serious programming. There was supposed to be cartridges available for LOGO and COMAL 2.0, but I've never seen them. The cartridges would leave more space for the user program. Good luck.-- ----- - - - - - - - ---- Bernard A. Badger Jr. 407/984-6385 |``Get a LIFE!'' -- J.H. Conway Harris GISD, Melbourne, FL 32902 |Buddy, can you paradigm?

There is now a version (still free) called Power Driver (available on Quantum Link) which can be compiled to a standalone program. It includes many of the features of 2.0 ... there is also user group support on QLink. (there is a larger workspace available with Power Driver, and an even larger one with the compiled programs!) There is a LOGO emulator avaiable that provides a command line interface to the the turtle that looks 'pretty much like' LOGO syntax.... on the other hand the LOGO/Lisp language family is RADICALLY different from LOGO. If you want LOGO get LOGO (BTW an excellent PD LISP (two actually) is available on QLINK). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We know only the strong will survive, But the meek will inherit.

I own it and had a lot of fun with it. I assume it always exists. Ask to a good Commodore dealer. Good Luck. Paul
