	I am working on a version of the game Robots for Apple//s.  It
is simple enough, and may already exist.  I'm writing it anyway, for
two reasons:

	1) I'm writing it in both 6502 and 65802 to see the differences
	   in size, speed, and programming style.

	2) To start building up a library of routines for my other
	   project, a rogue clone for the Apple.  (No, don't ask for
	it, as it is far from done).

	I'm look for information on writing 80 column routines.  There
are a number of way to write to the 80 screen on the //c, but which
(if any) will also work on the GS or the //e with an Apple 80 column
card.  How about other, popular video boards?  Also information on
reading the keyboard in 80 column mode would be useful. 


Btw:	I'm still trying to find out if the new //c mother board with
RAM expansion will fit in the old //c case...  Anyone?
