Introducing the Atari Games PREFERRED PARTS REPORT, a guide for helping you chose which components you should use on new designs. The report will be published in hard-copy periodically, but you can search an up-to-date copy that is compiled each night by adding the following to your LOGIN.COM: Add: $PREFERRED :==SEARCH ATARI$AVL:PREFERRED.LIS Then after your next login (or $RESTART), you can search by Atari part number, generic number, or description. All you have to do is type: PREFERRED item where 'item' is the text or number your looking for. You can search for as many items as you like at once by separating each item with a comma. You can display the entire report by searching for " " (quote-space-quote). examples: $ PREFERRED eprom $ PREFERRED 6-32,8-32 $ PREFERRED 137001 Upper case/Lower case doesn't matter, and you can use any standard DCL SEARCH qualifiers including: /HIGHLIGHT=UNDER will underscore matching text /LOG will tell you how many matches it found /OUTPUT=file-spec will put the results into a file /MATCH=AND will only find a record that matches all the items/numbers that you specify (ex: PREFERRED/MATCH=AND eprom,128kx8) If you want a new hard-copy of the report between regular printings, you can send ATARI$AVL:PREFERRED.LIS to any suitable printer (please note, the report is 102 columns wide, so it wont fit vertically on an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet).
