Does networking work in Microworlds 2.03? And if not, which software is 
capable to do these things?
Thanks!

Hi KO,
 
About the "editable shapes" portion of your question, both MicroWorlds Pro and 
EX permit you to convert anything you draw (or import) into an editable shape. 
 I am unsure about earlier versions.
 
Use the graphics "select" tool to draw a box around whatever on the graphics 
screen you want to convert into a shape.  With the cursor inside the selection 
box, right-click and select "copy."  Next, right-click on a shape location and 
select "paste."  
 
If your original graphic is large, the shape location will show a very tiny 
(and often distorted) version of it.  But when you give that shape to a turtle 
or simply place it anywhere on the graphics screen, it will show up exactly 
the original size, even if it was quite large.  In MicroWorlds Pro there is 
space for 128 shapes (if I recall correctly).  In EX, each turtle has a 
capacity of 128 shapes reserved for just that turtle!
 
As for the LAN question, I can't speak exactly to that question.  But twice 
I've had occassion to interface MicroWorlds with peripheral devices.  One was 
a digitizer and the other a GPS receiver.  Both involved 2-way communications 
with MicroWorlds.  In both cases the peripherals could be set to an ASCII 
mode.  That is, they could both issue and understand commands and data given 
in ASCII format.  MicroWorlds definitely has the capability communicating with 
the outside world in this way.  The LAN manual should address communications 
protocols the program can use, and explain how to set it to use the various 
protocols it understands.  Check that out, and if it appears it can operate in 
ASCII mode, write back, and we'll get into how to use MicroWorlds this way.
 
Good Luck,
Jeff

Subject: LOGO Networking Software?


I was wondering if LCSI or other LOGO companies have LOGO software that allows 
you to program events over the LAN, ie. a computer posts a message in text, 
and while the other computer is on the same program, it sees the other 
computer's message and can reply back. Also which LOGO software program has 
more editable shapes available, or simply can change to any graphic you sketch 
on a computer.
Thanks!
