Ok.. I have TETRAS from a friend who says that its roots can
be traced back to HP... It is in M-L and it is very fast...
(obviously)... at its highest setting, there is little more
than a blue streak on the screen... it is very small too,
only 1880 bytes!
Now the catch: I need to know how to {up,down}load programs
to the 48.. The setup I am using is this:
an IBM80386 running System V (just got procomm for it if that
matters) that is a UUCP site, and I have the cable.
The problem is: I need a _working_ copy of asc-> and ->asc,
I need to know how to set it up to translate the "\v/" type of
character sets, and (for a friend) I need to know how to add
all the ^M's neccessary for dos machines...
It seems that the ASC-> programs that were posted a while back
would not work for anyone, so if anyone has a copy that would
work... I realise that this may seem trivial to some, so if it
is, _please_ send me any info that you can possibly send...
(btw, it _is_ spelled TETRAS -- aparently the person who wrote
it wanted it that way...)
Any help would be apreciated...

If the person who wrote the TETRAS program is out there, I would
like to know more about the numerical argument you give tetras.
it seem as though it is the level number, but it will mess up at
a certain value... Then again I could just dissassemble it myself.

Hold it! ML Tetris??? Please, please, please, could you or someone send me a copy of it? I haven't seen this. You could send it in ->ASC format (I could also send you a copy of ->ASC/ASC-> if you still need them), or upload it in BINARY and UUENCODE it. Please, this sounds wonderful!!!!!! -Ken ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | _ , __ _ _ | "It's green . . ." | | ' ) / / ) // // | Mr. Scott | | /-< _ ____ /--< __ . . ____ _ // // | | | / ) </_/ / <_ /___/_/ (_(_/_/ / <_</_</_</_ | Loooove that .sig | | <khbsnsr@jupiter.nmt.edu> | | ===============================================================================

(Machine Language Tetris?!?!?!?!?!) Could you send me a copy also, with some basic instructions on how to decode it (if neccessary)? I have a Mac and cable set-up and waiting.... Tom Amberg Internet: APPLEREP@MTUS5.BITNET Applelink: ST0529

It sounds very good, from where did you receive this program ? Is it possible to send me a copy ?

I haven't heard of any such thing before and haven't seen it in any of the archives. The closest thing I've seen is an RPL Tetris that's somewhat slow.

He got it from an old calculus instructor from highschool (Mr. Drivas) who got it from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from HP (so chris tells me). As soon as we get together again we'll kermit it from his hp48 to my UNIX machine, then onward to handhelds it goes. It is very fast. I have seen the RPL version, and it is a dog. The machine language version is MUCH MUCH faster. We'll post it asap. - Vareck Bostrom (bostrov@mist.cs.orst.edu)
