To download any of these files, visit: https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/atari/PDL/FLOPPYSHOP/index.htm ============================================================ TRACKER MENU #2 by Swampjuice and V90 - An impressive collection of 4 MOD files, each with accompanying picture. STING V1.15 by Peter Rottengatter - A major new package which completely replaces the STiK component of the WWW Access Pack. It features an improved (completely) rewritten version of STiK incorporating new features developed by many different authors over the past couple of years. In addition to linking CAB, Antmail, MGFTP, FracIRC, Newsie and the likes to the Internet, STiNG (ST Internet Next Generation) offers more. It supports SLIP and CSLIP connection to the Net with PPP under development. Standard serial communication is handled as is communication over the Midi and Parallel (currently in development) ports. Ethernet (several commercial and DIY Ethernet cards are available in Germany) and LAN are also under development. Once in place, these features will allow STiNG to work as a simple to use system for networking between Atari computers as well as connecting your machine to the Internet. The package includes several CPX modules allowing for easy configuration 'on the fly' as well as a programmers' development kit and a fair amount of well written docs. STiNG is modular and expected to evolve into a major package in its own right. Although it is not 'finished', the Internet connectivity is. Highly recommended. STUFIT V16/3/94 by Steve Caple - A Usenet to Fidonet interface. It allows emails from Fidonet BBSs to be sent to the Internet (via a UUCP account) and vice versa. It works for both personal emails and newgroup postings. You need to have a UUCP account and a Fidonet address so its not offering free Net access. What it does offer is the ability to access your Internet messages from your local BBS or BBS messages from your Internet account and reply from either account for convenience. You will also require COMPRESS, JETMAIL, LED and of course UUCP software in order to use Stufit. LAZAZ! by Andreas Papula - Very versatile Shareware multi-archiver shell that handles the usual formats - Zip, Zoo and Lharc. It also supports the use of ZIP2TOS and UUENCODE/DECODE and external file viewers. Fully compatible with Multi-TOS and SpeedoGDOS. Unfortunately the docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation. Recommended. Needs 1 Meg. LHARCBAT by Robert Chilton - Converts all folders in the directory from which it was run, into separate LZH archives of the same name by using the supplied LHARC113.TTP. Other versions of LHARC may be used but v1.13 has been supplied as it makes the output compatible with the popular dearchiver UNLZH172. PACKSHELL v3.01 by Holger Weets - This multi-archiver shell will handle just about anything (Zoo, Zip. Arj, Lharc, Arc and Tar) and is easy to configure from its own unique Desktop. It is also constantly being updated and improved. ST-GUIDE (UTL.5557) is used to access the hypertext style on-line Help. Highly recommended, Needs 1 Meg. NOTE:- An earlier version has been retained on UTL.4654 for half Meg users. Sound chip music composed with the BlipBlopper v0.74 (not included). Written by Reanimators of The Syndicate and saved as PRG files for use in your own intros/demos etc. Assembler source code is also included. CTRON by Ross McNaughton - Two versions of the well known light cycles game. The first is a one player game played as a tournament over twenty rounds against a variety of computer controlled opponents. The second game is similar but allows up to four players to compete against each other, provided you have a four player adaptor. The basic idea for those not familiar with the game is that each player directs his or her beam of light around the playing area using the joystick trying to avoid the other competitors and, more importantly, trying not to cross the trail that each player leaves as they move. WYRDWAYS by Scott Drummond and Campbell Fraser - You are one of four players (human or computer controlled) in a combat area and must collect six objects and then proceed to kill the other players. Your move is in two parts, the first involves moving the maze (it is made up of sections and you can move one section each turn) and the second moves your character. Digitised speech and sound effects are used throughout the game. Top quality Shareware. Very strategic, highly competitive and rather amusing too! Assistant Chef . An excellent recipe database. Get this one for the wife and you'll never get back on the machine. This is a very well designed program which is a must in order to make the most out of home cooking. Accounts - an excellent accounts program written in Laser C (source code included). Both programs run in medium resolution. Single sided. PROBE ST v2.0 - Probably the best Shareware music and graphics ripper and much more. Grab Music by Mad Max, Count Zero and David Whittaker, search through memory or disk files, use with boot disks, grab disk sectors or a specified section of memory as disk file, check for viruses, Probe ST does it all. If you're having trouble with the sample ripper, rest assured that it has been fixed in the registered version! ACCOUNTABILITY - One of the best Shareware home accounts packages available. This version has been developed over 4 years and allows up to 10 accounts with up to 2,000 entries split between them. Regular monthly, bi-monthy, quarterly, half yearly and annual bills can be entered and will be automatically deducted from your balance on the due dates. Full tutorial, example files and manual on disk. ARMALYTE DEPACKER - A file depacker which decompresses files packed using Ice Pack 2.4, Jam Pack 4, Atomik 3.3 and Automation 5.01. BOOTWRITE V2.7 - Allows you to install a bootsector which checks for viruses, reports if there's less than 100k free on a disk and toggles hertz rate. TRACE - Displays GEM instructions on screen as they are being implemented. You can slow down your system to see each individual instruction executed if so desired. Useful for de-bugging. IDLE - A screen saver which blanks out the display and moves an Atari logo around the screen after a period of inactivity. It also has a corner clock, caps lock indicator and is fully configurable. This program also works on large screen monitors and overscan. SENTRY PACKER V2.20 - Compresses executable and files. The program is similar to Ice Pack but also allows you to save under a different name, depack files and compress sampled sound (including MODs). Put the depacker in an Auto folder and compressed files may be used as normal! SIRCWARE VIRUS PROTECTOR by Chris Brookes - Next to a Virus Killer this is the best safeguard against the Ghost Virus. After installation, your computer simply cannot be infected by a Ghost Virus, even after a reset! Press the reset button with an infected disk in the drive and the Ghost Virus will not install itself in memory nor will it infect other disk. Invaluable, need I say more! VENDORS - An ACC which shows information of the software and hardware vendors supporting the ST in North America. TYPIST - A well researched typing tutor program with numerous lessons. Teaches the Pitman and Dvorak methods. Highly recommended. METADOS 2.7 - A bolt on enhancement to TOS which allows it to communicate with CD ROM drives and other high capacity storage devices. WP2FAX v1.5 - Converts 1st Wordplus files into IMG files at the correct resolution for sending using a fax modem with the appropriate software (ST-Fax, QFax, Junior/TeleOffice or STraight Fax). FAXFONT - A great improvement on the built in system font. Intended to replace the system font in letters converted using WP2FAX. GDOS2FAX - Similar to Faxfont, except that it allows you to replace the system font with any GDOS font. WP2RTF - Converts 1st Wordplus files into RTF (rich text format) which is used by Microsoft Write, Atari Works and several other professional titles on the ST, Mac and PC. BUSINESS - A collection of 100 standard business letters in ASCII format. Simply load the relevant letter into any word processor and change personal details to suit. SPIRITED V1.3 - A GEM based text editor which runs as an ACC. It was designed for use with SpiritWare"s Bible concordance program but is ideally suited for general purpose use. DOC2ASC - Converts files from any word processor into pure ASCII by stripping out all characters below ASCII 32 and above ASCII 126. It can process all files in a given directory which match your chosen extension, in one batch. KXP SET V5.0 by Bill Aycock - Allows you to access almost all the features of the KX-P1124 easily from software. What"s more, this version of the program allows you to subsitute your own control codes so it could be adapted to work with almost any printer. KXP SET can be run as a PRG or ACC. MACTEXT by Gero Zahn - On the Apple Mac, the ASCII standard is not the same as on the ST. The result is that although characters below ASCII 127 are the same on all platforms, those above 127 are located in different places in a Mac file. In addition, the end of line CR+LF convention is implemented differently. This program swaps over ASCII files between the ST and the Mac by altering the character codes to suit and changing the end of line markers. It is essential if you transfer ASCII files between the ST and Mac and use characters above ASCII 126. PAGES V1.0 by Bill Aycock - Lets assume that you are printing out a document in booklet form. Type in the total number of pages and "Pages" will tell you which page should go where i.e. sheet number, front left, back right etc, so that your booklet comes out in the right order. THE ULTIMATE CONVERTER (TUC) V1.02 by Kevin Millican - Allows you to convert word processor files from any format to any format. At least that"s the theory! It works by converting the often non-printable ASCII character used to represent eg bold or italic on one word processor to those used on another word processor. Example script files allow you to convert executable programs to and from ASCII (useful for performing translations) and from First Word to RTF, Protext v4.3 to Wordstar, Protext v4.3 to RTF, ASCII to RTF, Write On to RTF, Word Perfect v5.0 to RTF, Word Perfect v5.1 to RTF and Wordstar to RTF. Obviously you could alter the scripts to allow any of these to convert to any other or even introduce new conversions if you know the codes used by the appropriate word processor(s). The docs are easily followed and explain the command language used in the scripts. UNFORMAT V3.1 by Bill Aycock - This removes trailing spaces at the end of lines, removes any left margin from text files and deletes extra carriage returns and line feeds present in some files captured on-line. All three options can of course be switched on or off to suit. Runs as a PRG or ACC. WORDWRITER AIDS - A collection of templates by Tony Kaye for use within Wordwriter ST. They allow you to set up default sizes for 9"x7", A4, A5, Foolscap and Quatro paper sizes. There are also templates which allow you to work out how many lines you can print per page and how many characters you can fit across the page when using settings of 10, 12 or 15 characters per inch. There"s also a helpful doc which explains how to use them. WP2RTF - Converts Wordplus files to RTF format. WP DEMO - Converts 1st Word and Wordplus files to Word Perfect v5 files and Word Perfect v5 & v6 files to Wordplus. The demo only converts short files. Full version available from the author. THE TRANSBEAUCE DEMO II DISK 2 - One the demo has loaded and the main screen appears, press the HELP key. Wait until a black and white picture of a miner appears, then press SPACE. You are now in the main menu! Use the cursor keys to select one of the 15 demos and Space to load. This is a compilation the best of the rest. In other words, those which could not fit on disk 1. In my opinion they are of just as high a standard. Highly recommended. This disk runs independently of disk 1. HERO II - A top quality Shareware game which is very similar to Gauntlet. The only restriction with this version is that you can only play with the Dungeon provided. The full game system along with a Dungeon creator is available direct from the author. Extensive documentation on disk. Needs 1 Meg. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 21 - Three excellent 256 colour animations created on the PC. A player program is supplied.

EARTH - Avery smoothly animated detailed globe of the world spins continuously. WATCH 02 - An old fashioned pocket watch swings on a pendulum. The hands move as it does this and a relection of the room can be seen on the clock face. Earth runs on 1 Meg the others need 4 Meg. VIKING 1 & 11 - Two versions are included on disk, one for users with 0.5 Meg and the other for 1 Meg users. You have landed on Mars but the ungrateful Martians are attacking you, using the supplies falling from above. You must hide from the Martian missiles coming from the left and right.

Also on this disk is another similarly presented file which contains Chinese meals and nothing else. For example, Chinese chicken dishes, fish Chinese, Chinese pork, egg noodles, spring rolls and many others. The Revenge Document Displayer is included so that you can make the most of these two files. Newton's Cradle from Trivision - An excellent animation done with the Spectrum 512 paint program. 1 Meg memory needed. Runs at 60Hz so it won't work on some TVs.

SUPER CHICKEN by Thomas Smith - You play Super Chicken and must rescue your eggs from the clutches of the evil Dr Chickenhawk! Just one snag, he's boobytrapped every egg! A platform based game in which you must collect every egg on each table then move onto the next. As soon as you pick up the egg, you have no more than a split second to leave that square, otherwise you're fried chicken! Just to complicate things, you can't double back either! Successfully collect all the eggs on the level and it's on to a new tougher level. This Shareware versions features five pretty mean levels, the full version has many more. GETSLIDE by Seymour Shlien - A puzzle game in which you must collect all the symbols on one level to progress to the next. This is comlicated by the fact that certain parts of the playing area contain a slippery substance which makes you slide all over the place when you hit it. You must therefore work out the correct order in which to collect the symbols in order to use them as 'brakes' so that you can collect the other symbols on the level. Simple on the lower levels, gets tougher on later levels! 12 GDOS fonts (various point sizes) converted from Signum . Both screen and printer fonts are included. These fonts are designed for use with a mono monitor and a 24 pin printer or the Canon Bubblejet.

PAPYRUS v2.21 - Probably the most exciting new document processor since Calligrapher As well as all the standard features Papyrus supports multiple fonts limited only by memory when used with GDOS or SpeedoGDOS and is Multi-TOS compatible. Its features also include multiple rulers multiple text styles within a document graphic import and re-size to screen or printer and the ability to create tables easily.

You play on a 16x16 grid and must work out which parts of the grid contain holes and fill these in with the right mouse button . The only clues are sets of numbers to the top and left of the rows. The doc explains how to interpret these. The aim to to complete the puzzle within 30 minutes though you incur a time penalty for incorrectly identified holes. 21 levels are included so expect to spend a few weeks on this one FCROSS is RGB Only the other games on this disk run on RGB or VGA. MULTI PAKMAN by Tony Greenwood - Written to show the power of STOS, this is Pacman with a difference. First of all it's two player (or one player against the computer) game. Both players use the same map and the screen is split into two, yet they never meet. Gone are the moving ghosts and instead there are death traps and bonus icons. Control is by joystick. A completely new angle to an old game, brilliant. MARIANT - A French card game a little like solitaire but played with two packs. The aim of the game is to sort out the cards into suits, adhering to specific rules. An easy game to get the hang of. MAGIC STONES - Select from three games, all based around the Tetris theme. Tetris is a traditional clone of the game. Bitris is a two player version and Columns is very similar in style but rows can be made vertically, horizontally and diagonally. THURG AND MURG by Robert Dytmire - A platform game where you must collect ruby rings. Gather enough and you can advance to the next level. Various collectables enhance your powers of running, jumping and firing. Complete a level within the time limit to get the chance of bonus screens. Contains a child's level of play as well as the default adult set up and a one or two player option. BUNCH - An adventure game by Dean Sharples. Your character has been accused of murder. The only way to establish your innocence is to track down the real killer and the other members of the Heavy Bunch, avoiding the long arm of the law as you do so. OPERATION GARFIELD by Dave Brankin - Your aim is to destroy the invading aliens (which look like Garfield the cat!) as well as the missiles they shoot at you. Different levels offer different challenges. A fast action game with massive sprites, brilliant graphics, hardware scrolling and stereo soundtrack throughout. Controlled entirely using the mouse. Garfield is STE Only. A SELECTION OF TETRIS CLONES FROM THE ST. BLAT - Probably the best Tetris clone to date. This one has a stereo soundtrack and countless extra features. In fact it makes the original look weak in comparison. It s the usual idea of objects dropping from above with your aim being to create complete rows. Each time you make a complete row it disappears and delays the pile of rubble reaching the top of the playing area. Extra features include smart bombs mini-avalanches sticks of dynamite and much more. COL-TRIS - Similar in concept to Tetris i.e. you aim to fit all the blocks together. In this version you can choose different types of stones to match. These range from floppy disks to highway code symbols Get three in a row if you can. Difficult but addictive. KUBES by Digital Dimension - A puzzle game that bears a passing resemblance to Tetris. You must clear the screen of falling blocks however you can t move the current blocks but you can move the rows of previously collected blocks. Addictive with some original concepts. PILE UP by Russell Moll - You must guide blocks down the screen trying to fit them together as closely as possible. A variety of options within the game add to it s deviousness. Some surprises await those completing certain levels. STOS source included. COLUMNS - A Tetris Connect Four type game where you must match different symbols. You can choose one of four types of symbols with which to play. If you get 3 4 or 5 matching they explode and are added to your score. The game ends when all the columns are full. Excellent sound graphics. FANTASY - More GIF pictures on the fantasy theme. Files are ADD024_8 ALIEN BOOMER_G DEVIL DUNGEON HAJIME25 HAJIME54 HAJIME56 HAJIME59 HAJIME60 HAJIME67 WATNYMPH. Viewer supplied. The Lost Boys Power Demo . Featuring five graphic screens and eighteen sound tracks from ST games. A section of this demo is devoted to games cheats. A classic from TLB. EAGLESTAR - A graphic adventure created using STAC. It is based in the future and involves the struggle of one ordinary man who attempts to fight the system. You begin the adventure in prison. Very atmospheric and well presented. From the author of The Elven Crystals. OASIS (One Atari Solution to Internet Software) V1.35E by Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi - An impressive GEM based front end for accessing the Internet on your Atari. With the advent of cheap high speed modems and local access numbers, getting connected to the Internet is seriously worth considering. Until recently, Demon Internet were the only service provider to supply Atari software and what was available was command line driven and archaiac to say the least! Oasis replaces this with a friendly menu based system which lets you log on and off with the minimum of hassle. Once off- line, Oasis' offline mailreader and newsreader allow you to browse through your email and your selected newgroups at your leisure. As for sending out email or posting messages to the newsgroups, that couldn't be easier. Oasis as supplied, is ready to run (just alter the setup files to suit) and includes an Atari specific guide to get you up and running. The only thing you can't do is browse the World Wide Web, but that's promised for v2.0. Very highly recommended, requires 1 Mb and a hard drive. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 14 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are BANJO, DEFJAM, GERMAN, INYFACE, RADAR2, WAVEFORM. ARKANOID CONSTRUCTION KIT from Holland - This is an excellent games disk which is used to modify the commercial program of the same name. It contains over 150 different levels, all of which can be modified to your own requirements. It is a single sided disk but requires 1 Meg of memory to run. A must for all Arkanoid freaks! Will only work with the original Arkanoid (before summer 1988). Not TOS 1.2 or later. AUDIO MASTER by Sound Pool - Professional sound recording software. AM is essentially a complete mixing desk running on your Falcon. Samples are placed in Cue lists and manipulated via the Mixer. The analyser provides control over the FFT waveforms and the Equaliser and Dynamic Settings handle the fine tuning. The results can be saved as standard audio files or cue lists and replayed via Midi or your computer s speaker. Samples can be imported directly into Audio Master or recorded direct to disk. Apart from Save functions being disabled everything else seems to be fully functional. SCOOTER V2.10C by HK Datentechnik - The first English release of this popular PCB design package. This is a professional package which handles up to 20 layers and offers complete control over such things as hole sizes track widths and grid size with measurements accurate to 1/1000th of an inch. It includes an extensive library of electronic components and the ability to design and add your own. An invaluable feature is the ability to route signal paths either manually or using the built-in autorouter. Output is supported to most 9-pin 24-pin and laser printers with the option of outputting to a file in IMG or GEM format. Plotter output is also supported. The demo is fully functional except that you cannot print or save your own work although the supplied examples can be edited or printed. Includes an extensive get you going guide . Full version available in the UK. QUINCY V1.0 by Parx Software - An 8-track digital audio recorder. Quincy takes its input directly from the microphone socket or optionally via the DSP port and writes it directly to disk. Output is supported via the audio out socket to your Hi-Fi or can be channelled through Midi equipment. Various effects are available through the Mixing Table as is the ability to Remix recorded sound. It works by creating a temporary file on disk and performing all editing and mixing functions on that prior to saving it to DAT tape. The demo version allows you to create these dummy tapes not mount or save them and erases them when you quit the program. Needs 4 Mb. IO TOOLS V1.85 by Pierre Laloe - An excellent integrated disk/file tool. It allows you to copy/restore an entire hard drive partition onto another device copy/restore an entire partition to/from a file for mass duplication or copy/restore removable media cartridges. It even handles Linux partitions. IO TOOLS also lets you split/recombine a file into several smaller ones for copying onto floppies. You can also write-protect write- enable or delete individual files. Unfortunately this demo is restricted to showing you the interface etc and does not actually do anything. Full version from the author. Falcon or TT. Needs an XHDI v1.25 driver typically HD Driver or CBHD or it won t work. INSECTS - A Cyber Paint animation of bees, a dragonfly and goodness knows what else flying around! Needs 1 Meg. HOLE IN ONE - A superb Cyber Paint animation of a golf ball being hit across the fairway. Need 1 MEG. CONNECT '95 - An impressive terminal emulator which can emulate VT52, VT100, VT102/ANSI and VT220 terminals. In VT100, VT102 or VT220 mode, you can even emulate a TEK 4014 graphics terminal. All emulations are implemented for both serial and MIDI ports. Connect is entirely GEM based and both English and German versions are supplied, although we've set it up for English. It has everything you need to log on to your favourite BBS and more. This program offers more emulation modes than most and it runs on any Atari, even under Multi-TOS. There's very little by way of documentation but an extensive on-line Help function is built into the program. Nothing is disabled in this Shareware version. The only restriction is that Connect only remains fully usable for 30 hours in total. After that time you will need to register your copy. UK users can register with System Solutions, full details on disk. RELICS by Black Lotus - The first Atari demo from a new Swedish group. It starts off with a superb guitar based intro. From there on a great non- guitar stereo soundtrack plays throughout. The first graphic effect is semi-transparent 3D cube bouncing around the screen. Other similar type effects include three solid 3D objects rotating and scaling and cutting through each other to give an almost 4D effect. Shaded bobs are put to good effect on a Space scene along with a 3D wireframe object made up from hundreds of hexagons. The highlight of the demo is a raytraced scene of a computer desk complete with computer and monitor. A graphic demo is running on the monitor and comes right out of the screen flipping several times as it does so. For a first offering it s better than most. RGB ONLY needs 4 Meg. Music Writer - An excellent music composition and editing program. This one is of similar quality to most commercial programs. Source code in GFA Basic is included as are eight tunes. Soundcom - a program for creating and editing sounds. . MEGA #1 by Chris Swinson - A new diskmag to hit the Atari scene. It starts off with an animation of the Space Shuttle and the interface looks not unlike that used in Warp diskzine. It is somewhat unstructured as there are no category headings for articles. Press SPACE to cycle through them and RETURN to select. There are over 90 articles in this first issue, covering a wide range of subject matter. Most articles are taken from the Internet but the subject matter is so unusual that they represent a unique collection in their own right. We are talking about meditation, lucid dreams, alpha-theta brainwaves, Hawaiian monsters, dragons, the unified field theory, a new comet, ESP induction through self-hypnosis, lots of UFO related stuff and more. This is an "alternative" view of life, the universe and all things in it. Many of the articles are republished research documents and make interesting reading. There are of course other features of the mag including funny stories, jokes and a sprinkling of compuing related articles. These include a review of Creatures, how to write a MOD, a STOS game tutorial, several N64, Sega and Playstation reviews, a section on DIY electronics and more. The wierd, the wonderful, the interesting and the obscure... An excellent first issue. Needs 1 Mb. Clip Art BOOKS HEADINGS WOMEN in IMG format .

It's three dimensional boulder which changes shape, size, rotates and changes to different shades of yellow with the background music. JEDI - An entry to a 3.5k competition. It features three screens. The first contains lines which seem to appear at random across the screen to make a pattern. The second screen is made up of green and yellow colour, which blends on screen to make a pattern. The last is strange it almost devies decription! It contains parallel lines of small red and blue squares. These pass in front or behind other lines at a fair speed! SWAMPNIC - A swamp of colour which intermingles on screen. It's very well done with the colours changing and moving in uneven bands horizontally across the screen in real time. Equinox Soundtracker Player . Files are BACHMIX, BCLOTH, CYBERNOI, FACTORY, FCTITLET, FROG60, MONTYII, TNT2, UNIT 5. SKYFALL by The Resevoir Gods - Yet another outstanding Tetris/Columns clone. As usual you change the order of the objects falling from above so as to get at least three matching symbols when the block finds its resting place. Rows or columns of three identical symbols results in those objects being eliminated from play. As you would expect from Resevoir Gods there s lots of extras like a multi-player option simultaneous action different sets of symbols all superbly drawn ghosts to hamper your progress green charms to protect against the ghosts several variations on the game theme different board sizes three difficulty levels and much more. Control is by keyboard joystick or joypad and everything in the game can be customised to suit. Incredible Shareware release from one of the best programming teams on the Falcon. Needs 4 Mb. LITTLE 15 V2.00 by Dirk Hagedorn - A sliding puzzle game. You must unjumble the numbers in order to make them run continuously from 1 to 15. Good fun with several levels of difficulty. All in German but everyone knows how to play a sliding puzzle game don t they Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS friendly. MOVE IT V1.5 by Dirk Hagedorn - Puzzle game in which you push all the blocks in one level to the marked area in order to progress to the next level. Not as easy as it sounds especially as you normally end up boxing yourself into a corner Program in English and German docs in German. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS friendly. TRICKY V2.71 by Dirk Hagedorn - The dice game Yahtzee. Very well presented and easy to use with nothing more than a few mouse clicks needed for any action.

FRACTAL WORKSHOP by Conrad Bessant - A Mandelbrot/Julia set generator. Runs in colour and mono and saves in PI1 and PI3 formats. Well documented. All the normal facilities are there, along with an extensive info in the BOOK file. FRACTAL ENGINE by Daniel Grace and Mike Harris - Supports all sets including 'Barnsley' and saves zoomed animations in small or full screen format with it's own animation player. Also, you can save palettes and co-ordinates etc. Very well documented with plenty of example files. FRACLAND V1.2 by David Billington - Have you ever seen Vista on PC or Amiga? This is maybe not as glamorous but it is almost as powerful. It has many similar features like camera/target, wire frame preview, animation editor, colour terrain edit etc. It can even run on a 520 with it's mem/disk mode. Generate still or frame by frame animation sequences. Fracland has it's own separate anim viewer. This is one of the best 3D fractal landscape generators seen on the ST in a long time. The documentation is excellent too! GNU TEXT FILE PROCESSING UTILITIES V1.5 - A collection of programs ported from Unix as part of the GNU project. The programs are CAT, CKSUM, COM, CSPLIT, CUT, EXPAND, FOLD, HEAD, JOIN, NL, OD. PASTE, PR, SORT, SPLIT, SUM, TAC, TAIL, TR, UNEXPAND, UNIQ, WC. These programs will be second nature to Unix users but will be somewhat cryptic to the rest of us.

VALENCY by Jens Schultz - An excellent Shareware puzzle game in which you must create molecular structure of varying complexities depending upon which of the 300 levels you are on. Atoms must be placed in the correct sequence and there are rules as to exactly which atoms go where. The structure can be rotated as required to achieve your task. The game is GEM based and very easy to pick up once you've played it a few times.

THE KANDINSKY COMPILATION by Ulrich Rossgoderer - Two versions of the most powerful Shareware vector graphic programs available. Although v2 is now available, v1.73 is still being supported and is looked upon as an entry level purchase with registration at around half the cost of v2. Check out these features:- KANDINSKY v1.73i - All the usual features like box, round box, circle, elipse, line, polygon, arc and bezier curves are there. The control offered over bezier curves is second to none. Text input is supported from 8 point to 20 point using the system font. SpeedoGDOS is supported if installed. The package includes 10 excellent vector fonts in BGI format and these can be scaled to any size. Greyscales and shadowing can be applied to objects and these can be moved, re- sized, grouped, ungrouped, mirrored and rotated as required. Kandinsky is fully Multi-TOS compatible and the number of windows available is limited only by available memory. It loads and saves GEM metafiles as well as allowing data to be exchanged between programs using the GEM clipboard. Although the programs will run in any resolution,it is best run in resolutions of at least 640 x 400. Almost everything in Kandinsky is user definable and can be saved as default. A large amount of GEM files are supplied for you to experiment with. Highly recommended and well worth your while registering. Please note that you cannot print unless GDOS of SpeedoGDOS is installed. KANDINSKY V2.51 - Includes all the features of its predecessor plus many more. These include support for 3D colour icons and 256 colour modes (TT or Falcon), FPU support, Freedom, iconification, TOS 2's drag & drop protocol, the editing of Calamus CVG files (registered version) and the AV Protcol amongst other things. Now with context-sensitive ST-Guide (ST-Guide Lite included) based help, ability to map any object onto an unfilled bezier curve, CVG export, support for external font selectors, better compatibility with MagiC and Magic Mac, full support for OLGA and much more... The program is under constant development and is well supported by the author. GEMINI V1.99 by Stefan Eissing - A brilliant Shareware Desktop replacement which is similar in many ways to Neodesk. It is very similar to the built-in Desktop on the Falcon but with several 'extra' features such as its own built-in CLI. Other features include keyboard shortcuts, automatic installation of all devices attached to the system, the option of using an IMG as a Desktop picture, disk formatting to extended capacities, Kobold 2 support, recoverable trashcan, moveable dialogs, GEM Clipboard support and full compatibility with Speedo-GDOS, Multi-TOS and Mag!X (including support for the AV protocol which allows messages to be sent between different GEM programs). This latest version runs in any Falcon resolution and uses colour icons. There's just one problem, both the program and docs are in German, although we have done a rough translation. Vorsprung durch technik on two double sided disks. A major update on UTL.228. An ST systems diagnostics checker . Accent - Load in text file and print it out to screen or printer using various accents! Music files 633, Douyou, Foottap, Good, Riders - All run under interrupt. Triple X Demo.

Gameplay on one level. Sewer Software Demo Compilation 2 - A collection of eight classic demos compressed onto one double sided disk. The demos are Cube, Popcorn, SCC Demo 1, Tex Demos 1, 2, 3 and XXX International. PLASMA BALL by Adam Short - An adaptation of the Breakout style of game but with an interesting new slant. The aim is the keep the ball in the air as long as possible using the joystick controlled bat. However, as the game progresses, the ceiling slowly gets lower, giving you less time to position the bat correctly and the ball speeds up. Sounds easy, but in fact this game is a real challenge and it takes quite an effort to get your name on the high score table. WORLD LEAGUE SOCCER - A player/manager soccer game by Peter Van Den Houten. You begin the game in the lowest of ten divisions, your aim is to get to the top of the world league. All the usual features are there, including buying and selling players, choosing your squad etc. A good implementation of a popular theme. Needs 1 Mb. FRANKREICH CLIPART - A Collection of 42 massive IMG scans taken from photographs of France. The scans are diverse featuring national landmarks as well as general pictures portraying the French men and women in typical work and leisure situations. Probably compiled from photographs taken by a German tourist. These scans a very large and are therefore really intended to be loaded into a DTP package and printed at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Most of them require more than 1 Meg. GOFER v2.20 - A programming language based on the functional programming language Haskell and written by the author as part of his search into 'qualified types'. Although based on Haskell, it is only a partial implementation of that language, having many new experimental features of its own. It is almost entirely mathematically based and comes complete with a 221 page manual on disk, an editor and a few example programs. Gofer is best run from a CLI. Clip Art in IMG format (SALE & MISCELLANEOUS).

STAD - An impressive demo version of this highly acclaimed mono art package. Everything is fully functional except that you cannot save your work. A screen grabber (on disk) overcomes the problem by saving 32k dumps but these cannot be re-loaded into the STAD demo. Highly recommended if you are considering buying the commercial release. This demo does not run on the STE but the commercial product does. GEMORY V1.0 - A memory game where you click onto two squares to reveal the symbols beneath them, in the hope of getting a match. This variant is played against the computer on a 9x6 grid. Just to make things interesting, you get to continue play until you fail to get a match. Runs as a PRG or ACC. Multi-TOS compatible. NEVER MIND V1.0 - The computer version of the board game Mastermind. You get 15 attempts to guess the correct pattern sequence for a row of five pegs. Get the pattern correct and you get a grey marker, get the pattern and position right for a black marker. By a process of elimination, you should hopefully be able to work out the correct combination. Runs as a PRG or ACC. Multi-TOS compatible. PUNSSI V1.1 by Eero Tamminen - A great two player game in which you bounce a ball into the goal before your opponent does likewise. Just to complicate things, two droids chase both players around the playing area, contact with either of them is fatal! Full C++ sources included. GEM AMIGO V1.0 by Warwick Allison - The ST port of the Unix port of the Amiga game AmiGO! It is essentially the board game GO played against the computer. It is very attractively presented in a nice GEM interface and is fully Multi-TOS compatible. Full C++ sources included but you'll need to know the rules of GO in order to play!

MAGIBOOT - This program lets you reconfigure your Falcon in a number of different ways to allow some incompatible ST programs to run. There s plenty of options to try and its very much a case of trial and error but patience sometimes pays ofFALC. MTOS_ACC - Install this program ass an application under Multi-TOS. It lets you load ACCs into the Desktop menu after boot up by simply double-clicking them. ACCs can also be unloaded after use. PRIORITY - Allows you to set a priority level for each program running under Multi-TOS. The higher the priority the more CPU time will be allocated to that process. PS_CPX - A CPX module which has much the same function as priority above except that it is always available from Xcontrol. RDE V5 - The latest version of MWC ramdisk which is now fully Multi-TOS compatible. This ramdisk is unique in that it is self initialising like partition C of a hard drive and you can save the entire ramdisk into a single file. When you next run it it is restored complete with its contents just as you left it. EDISON - An excellent screen protector which gives you a pleasant fireworks display after a specified period of inactivity. Works in all resolutions except true colour. SPEAKOFF - Switches off your Falcon s internal speaker. Useful if your monitor has sound. STE SOUND 2 - Patches the Falcon s DMA sound routines to be STE compatible. Allows programs which use STE DMA sound and were previously silent on the Falcon to work. TCACHE V6.0 - Caches hard drive reads and writes. Almost everything is user configurable with different setting being possible for different drives. Drives can also be password protected to prevent unauthorised access. BURP_FAL - This program causes your screen display to bounce up and down. Programs will even run with BURP installed Useless but entertaining BACKWARD V3.10 - An ST emulator for the Falcon. You can alter many of the hardware settings on the Falcon to make it downwardly compatible with the ST/E. What makes Backward better than similar programs it that the author gives helpful hints as to which setting to use depending on how many bombs you get. He also provides another program to diagnose the faults. Now supported in the UK by the CyberSTryder Shareware support scheme. DESKICONS - Two files full of Windows icons from the PC converted for use on the Falcon. Simply replace your DESKICON.RSC file with one of these files. Between them they offer up to 216 new icons depending on which resolution you re in. DISASMLD - Disassembles DSP56001 .LOD files. DMV BOOT v1.0 by Binaris - Allows you to change up non-volatile RAM settings and select ST or STE emulation on boot up.

HERO by Tony Greenwood - This former commercial release is now available as Freeware due to the generosity of the programmer, and is a must for fans of this genre. The only differences from the full version are the lack of game introduction and one or two minor alterations. The game itself involves the rescue of a number of trapped personnel from a bio-nuclear complex. Radiation is dangerously high and security droids guard many areas but you must reach the trapped individuals in time and retrieve their teleport card. Your character, Jim, is completely joystick controlled throughout the game and can run, walk, jump, crawl and climb as well as fight off adversaries and access the computers that he finds scattered within the complex. A fun and challenging game with a great deal of appeal and a variety of levels for extended interest. Needs 1 Mb. DMA MAG #5 (May '92) by The Disk Busters Association . There's yet another new shell program. The last one was good but this one's better! This is the first issue to come on two disks. The first contains the magazine intro, 4 demos, the magazine program and countless utilities including The Megatiser, a great MOD and music player, a mono emulator, a ramdisk, a bootsector writer and some Mega STE stuff. The text files are on the second disk. Articles cover piracy on the ST, musicians on the ST, computer stories, a F.O.D. Party real time article and computer languages. The hardware reviews are of the Mega STE, Falcon and Brain Wave Lab! All the usuals like the Hi-Fi section, CD & Video reviews, jokes, GFA, STOS and Assembler articles, demo crew news, pop news, poems and so on are there as usual. There's much more but we've run out of space! Once again there's too much bad language so be warned. Needs 1 Meg Construction Set song player and 14 tunes . These were ported from the Amiga. Music Studio player and 19 tunes. SOZOBONX by Jerry Geiger and others - An eXtended version of the Alycon C compiler, Sozobon C v2.00 from Germany. This Freeware two disk set has extensive documentation in both English and German and is very close to being fully ANSI/POSIX compatible. It is currently being maintained and updated by seven different authors and promises even greater things to come. This latest version supports profiling, pre- compiling and has an in-built source level debugger and code optimiser. Finished code is converted to assembler before being linked to create the executable program. The runtime library files included, Xdlibs, are an optimised version of Dale Schumacher's Dlibs from the original Sozobon distribution and the GEM library is an adaptation of Ian Lepore's GEMFAST. Although designed to run from a CLI, SozobonX includes HAR v3.00 by Holger Weets, which is a graphic based front end similar in feel to his excellent Pacshell on UTL.4654. Extensive on-line Help is supplied by way of ST-Guide files (ST-Guide not included). There are no minimum hardware requirements but 1 Meg and a hard drive are recommended as being the minimum for most purposes. Formfinder v2.2 by Adam Squibb - A horse racing predictor. This version limits input to 10 horses per race and has some other features disabled. The full version is available from the author at low cost. Runs in colour or mono. Art Kraft - A useable demo of an extensive mono art package. There is a time limit on use and some features are disabled. Handles numerous graphic formats. Art Kraft will not run on TOS 1.4 or higher. Quinsoft Trax - A demo version of Quinsoft's Trax Recording Studio. This suite of productivity programs is specifically designed for recording studios. It includes Tracksheet, Invox, Address Utilities and a Disk Archiver. If you own a busy studio this may be an essential purchase, but it's not for the home user. The demo is fully functional except that it cannot save or print. FILOFACT V1.4B - A demo (no printing) of a computerised version of Filofax. It includes an appointments calendar, address book, notepad, conversion tables, world timetable, alarms and diary. CAPTAIN HOOK - Intercepts system vectors and allows you to (temporarily) 'disconnect' accessories and memory resident programs in cases where programs clash. DISK KIT - An accessory which allows you to format a disk, rename a file, create a folder and call the file selector from within a GEM program. ENIGMA - A simulation of the legendary wartime German coding machine. FILE_SORT v1.1 - A simple sort program. COOKIE JAR v1.2 - Displays contents of the cookie jar (i.e. which system versions/options etc; are installed). OUTRIGHT - Re- directs all printer output to the serial port to fix programs (like GFA Basic, DB Master, Sheet ST etc;) which don't know about serial printers. SHADOWFIX - A 'cheat' editor for Shadowlands characters. STICKER - Fourteen .ADD icon files for use with Sticker 3 on UTL.157M. TIME_DRIVE - Displays the time, current drive and data direction in the upper right hand corner in medium or high res. If you have a Microdeal internal clock card it will also set the time. ZAPENU - A configurable menu driven program launcher for use as Desktop alternative. THE CONFUSION DEMO by Douglas Little - Incredible stereo DMA sound with an oscilloscope on screen showing the wave forms in real time. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. THE GRAPHIC LIBRARY FOR C BEGINNERS GLCB - An extensive library of modules for use within your own C programs. It allows you to handle graphics sprites mouse events keyboard events file access real time clock usage double buffered animations digitised sounds memory management random functions and use of an internal font. The module has currently been tested on PC Mac Amiga and Unix machines as well as TOS so your code will remain portable through use of this library. Includes the full sources to eight games and several utilities which were created using the supplied library functions. The modules supplied are in C and assembler and include the relevant files not just for the ST and Falcon but for all supported machines. FRANTICK by 'Arcade Dave' Munsie - Perhaps the fastest action Shareware shoot 'em up of all time? It's very much a case of space invaders on two fronts with extras thrown in! Basically, you move horizontally within a small area which spans the width of the screen. You are being attacked from above and below by rapid fire from hordes of aliens. You must dodge the enemy fire and wipe out the aliens before progressing to the next wave. There are 100 attack waves in all and four different levels of play, including droid assisted and two player options. Needs 1 Mb, if you have a 2 Mb STE, order GAM.5416C as well. CLOCK 2.0 - Probably the best Desktop clock there is. It can be displayed anywhere on screen in analog or digital form. It has an alarm facility and can display the date too. If you have an STE, TT or Falcon, it will chime on the hour too! Everything can be customised to suit. DISKFREE - Place this program in your Auto folder and it writes a file to your disk on bootup, showing how much free space is on the disk. DISKSPC V1.07 - Displays the amount of space used and free on all drives connected to your system. The statistics are displayed graphically using a bar graph. Supplied in ACC and PRG formats. DYNARAM V1.01 - Displays the amount of free memory in the top left corner of the screen. FORMULA 1 ANALYSER V1.4 by Ian Noble - Allows you to store the results of Grand Prix races and analyse the results accordingly with regard to current driver and team championship status. It displays a graphical representation of the driver's results during the season and can print out results. MASTER BROWSE V4.9+ - Probably the best document displayer available. It operates within a GEM window and allows you to search text, set markers, select and print blocks and much more. It's very fast at loading text and scrolling on screen. It even runs under Multi- TOS. OH YEAH FILE VIEWER V0.9 - Another file viewer. This one correctly displays ASCII files from Unix, Mac and ST/PC machines. This viewer has far less features than many others but is very fast and displays 80 column text since it doesn't run in a window. Install it as an application, then just double-click the text file. ZZD ZIP SEA V1.1 - Creates self extracting files from archives creates with ST Zip or other ZIP compatible archivers. ZZD FONT V1.0 - A small program which changes the system font. ZMACHINE - Allows you to play standard Infocom adventures created on other machines on your ST. It handles the standard text implementation but not the graphic versions. Similar to PINFO on UTL.3764. THE IMMORTALS FIRST CRUSADE - A collection of 8 programs demo by The Immortals. DIY DEMO V4 - This program lets you load up a PI1 screen and display a scrolltext using a number of different effects. You can also have a sprite bouncing around the screen. The instructions are pretty sparse and make up the scrolltext of the supplied demo! It's all done by pressing keys on the keyboard (for sprite control) and entering control codes into the text for the various scrolling effects. SAFE4MAT - A simple, yet effective disk formatter. SHOWTEXT - A simple, yet effective ASCII text file viewer. CUSTOM - Lets you create a customised virus free bootsector for your disks. MEMCHECK - Displays the values of the system vectors which viruses normally hook into and tells you whether or not they appear to be clear. PICSHOW - Two picture displayers which play music and display all the PI1 pictures on disk, using special effects. DIGICON - Converts an ST Replay or RAW data file into a 10khz Mastersound format sample. AMIGA EMU - A silly joke based around an Amiga computer. All programs in the CRUSADE folder are colour only. MEGAFLI v1.1 by RacŠme Production - Lets you cut a large file into several parts for backup purposes or to let you transfer between two computers (assuming the original is too large to fit onto a floppy). You can of course re-combine these with the supplied software. Since the suggested use is for transferring between the ST and PC, both ST and PC versions of the program are included. WARP 9 UPGRADE PATCHES - These patch v3.72 of the ST and TT versions of Warp 9, to v3.73 and v3.73 to v3.74. Obviouisly you need to have an original of Warp 9 v3.72 or v3.73, otherwise the patches won't work. ACCGAMES - A collection of three popular games which can also be used as accessories. The games are Puzzle Slider, Tic Tac Toe and Flip Flop (an Othello type game). DINKUM - An Australian text adventure where you must explore The Outback in search of treasure. EVASION - Guide your figure across the screen from left to right, avoiding rolling balls arrows and jumping over ravines. Very good graphics, joystick controlled. INSECTOID by Robert Dytmire - A Galaxians type game where waves of insects swoop down the screen at you and you must defend yourself by shooting as many of them as you can. Once you clear the screen of aliens it's on to the next level where you continue with the destruction. A very addictive game. INVADERS - Blast the aliens as they descend and shoot spaceships which fly overhead to gain extra points. Clearing one screen allows access to further levels of manic play. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are BABY, BABYGRND, BADCAT, BADGE1, BADGE2, BADGE3, BADGE4, BAKING_2, BALL, BALLOONS, BALLS2, BANANJNR, BANK, BANKNOTE, BARBECUE, BARGAIN, BARREL, BARROW, BASEBALL, BASKET, BASKETBE, BATMAN, BAT_BALL, BBOP, BDAYCAKE, BDISKS, BEACH2, BEACHBAL, BEAEAR1, BEAR2, BEARFL, BIRD4, BIRDLOT1, BIRDLOT2, BIRDS, BIRDSCR, BIRDSCR2, BIRTHBIG, BIRTHBLA, BIRTHBOX, BIRTHCAN, BIRTHCAR, BLACKBEA, BLDNG1, BLDNG2, BLUETIT, BOAT, BOATS, BOATS1, BOATS2, BOGART, BOLTS, BOMBURST, BOOKMAN, BOOKS, BOOKS1, BOOKSHEL, BOOKSHES, BORDER, BURP, BURST_C, BURST_E, BURT, BUS, BUSINES2, BUSI_MAN, BUTERFLY, BUTRFLY, BUTTERF1, BUTTRFLY, BWARMHT2. VDI FONT V2.10 by Harald Sommerfeldt - Auto program and CPX which allow you to select any monospaced (i.e. not proportional) GDOS or SpeedoGSfont DOS as a replacement for the built-in System font. Once installed, GEM will always use your chosen font rather than the system one. TALKER V1.1 by G Hungerford - A text file reader. Select an ASCII file and TALKER reads it back to you in the usual robotic voice. This program is better than previous offerings as it allows you to adjust the speed and pitch of the synthetic voice. RUNNER V1.22 by Dave Thorson - A program launcher which allows up to 15 programs to be displayed on each menu and the fact that menus are nested allows an almost limitless number of programs to be used with runner. Programs themselves can be nested deeply on your hard drive but this presents no problem to RUNNER, a simple click and they're loading. It also handles TTP files where the parameters may be longer than that allowed by TOS's parameters box. The file selector is available at all times and programs can be launched directly from it if required. RUNNER also lets you display text files. It runs in any resolution and can display different menus for different resolutions. It can even swap between low and medium to execute programs on a colour monitor. FONT ORGANISER V0.02 by Vincent Godefroy - The followup to TTF-SPD on UTL.5431. Its purpose is to enable and disable BitStream, TrueType and Postscript fonts quickly and easily when running SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 (or later). It does this using the same method as that employed by NVDI 4. The process is speeded up by the fact that your font setup is saved in INF files which are read the next time you run the program. This is especially useful in the case of fonts stored on CD-ROM where the initial scan can take up to 15 minutes! There's also the ability to search for fonts nested in folders on a CD-ROM. All changes made by FONT ORGANISER are effective immediately and you don't need to reboot. Mono only. CHEAT FILE v2.1 by Robert Newman - This program contains cheats for 217 ST games. It even has the ability to search for specific cheats and print them out. THE ULTIMATE CHEAT GUIDE 2 by OB of TRR - A collection of over 320 cheats for ST games and a hints for a number of ST demos. You have the ability to search for cheats and print them out. EASY WRITER v1.2 by Dragon of New Trend - This program allows you to create intro sequences or letters on disk. The text is displayed multi-coloured (each line uses two colours and is different from the next) and visual presentation is excellent. The background can be set to starfields, bobs or both. The colour and content of the text, path followed by the bobs and much more, can be customised to suit. You can also load up music files by Mad Max or Music Mon and play these along with the intro. There's even a built-in font editor. ELFBACK V2.4 - A hard drive backup utility which uses compression to fit more data onto each disk. It can format DD or HD disks and allows you to select individual files to be backed up or restored. It even supports incremental backups. 680X0CAC V0.2 by Ralph Zimmerman - A CPX module which lets you set the data, instruction and ST RAM caches of the 68020 or 68030 CPU on or off. Invaluable if you want to run ST games on a PAK, TT or Falcon. It will also work on the various 68020 processor upgrades on the ST. MAGGIE BOOT by The Resevoir Gods - Writes a bootsector which displays the 'Maggie' logo, some text and morphs some shapes. The installer corrects a bug in TOS's "force media change" routine, so that the directories of new disks are always read (prevents the wrong data getting written to the disk). JEDI by Ralph Zimmerman - A GAL assembler which allows you to assemble and disassemble GAL16V8 and GAL20V8 devices. It implements the PALASM syntax and is therefore syntax compatible with the Maxon GAL assembler. Regrettably, both program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. To be honest, you'll need to do a bit more work on the docs in order to make sense of this one. Obviously a PALASM compatible hardware GAL programmer will be required in order to make use of this software. FILEEDIT by Philip Taylor - Allows you to edit data within any type of file and supports ASCII characters above 128 (i.e. allows you to enter these from the keyboard). Ideally suited to editing fonts, printer drivers and import/export modules. BOOTSAVE by Matt Smith - Reads in the bootsector from any disk and saves it in a library file. Primarily of use for demos and games which run from the bootsector. Its purpose is to be able to restore the bootsector to the disk, should it ever become corrupted. In other words, it performs the same function as 'Restore Bootsector' in UVK. Please note that no bootsectors are supplied with the program. You must add your own to create the library. 180 - A Shareware game by N Taylor. This is a darts simulation which allows you to select from eight computer opponents and eight beer levels (the beer affects your ability to control your throwing arm). Having made your selections it's game on. Control is by use of the mouse buttons and some of these opponents will have you crying in your beer! REFLECTOR by Brite Spark Software - You fire a laser from the top left of the screen and by arranging the reflectors in the correct way, attempt to deflect the laser beam around the screen to burst a balloon situated at the bottom right. All this against a timer and with 38 levels of play. RUCKSACK by Ozzy Omara - A demo of what can be achieved using the 3-D Construction Kit. It's not a game as such, just an opportunity to explore a number of corridors using the mouse to click on the relevant icon to aid your progress. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. WORLD OF MUSIC by NPG - The followup to World Of Wonders. This demo has eighteen music tracks which will take you about one hour to listen to in their entirety. Half the screen has a peculiar clown in it and the other half displays various graphic effects such as the famous wave forms, fractals, shaded bobs and so on. The music is very good, and is choosen by pressing a function key, then selecting a track from a the list. The scroller says that this could be the last NPG contribution to the ST demo scene, so don't miss out on this one, as its one of the better sound demos. Switch off your ST for about 30 seconds before running or you'll get corruption on the screen! THE SPX EDITOR V1.4 by The Phantom - This disk contains all you need to create your own Spectrum 512 extended format pictures. You can combine up to 10 Spectrum 512 screens into one file or piece together files from the PC or the Amiga which are larger than the ST's physical screen depth. For example, an Amiga high res picture of 320x400 can be saved on the Amiga as two 320x200 screens, ported across to the ST, imported into Spectrum 512, re-saved as two SPC files and joined back together as a single SPX file. This program is most useful to users who also own Amigas or PCs. A number of sample SPC files are provided for you to play around with. This latest version is fully compatible with Gizmo's SPX format and the shower program has been updated to allow Ice packed or Atomik packed screens to be viewed. Another program on disk allows you to split large GIF and IFF files into 320x200 chunks to be spliced together in the SPX creator. Also on disk are numerous completed SPX files created by Radical Systems. CLIPART (1920'S WOMEN, CARS, SPORTS, FOOD & DRINK) IN IMG FORMAT for use in DTP.

STOS SOURCE DISK #1 by Matthew Hunter - Over 700K of useful bits and pieces of STOS source code (most are complete programs). Some are written in 'native' STOS code and other require the Misty (LAN.3541), Stars (LAN.3908) and Missing Link (UTL.3720) extensions to be installed before you can use them. There's source to a drawing program, a Spectrum 512 picture displayer, a document displayer and a 'tell the time' program. Other sources demonstrate barrel rolling pictures, displaying disk directories, using raster bars, extracting pictures from VideoMaster VID and FLM files, playing VideoMaster animations, speeding up the mouse and more... Highly recommended for budding STOS programmers who want to know "how it's done". Z*Net issues 485, 488, 489, 490, 491, 492 & 493 - This on-line magazine, now in its eighth year, continues to be one of best sources of information on software, hardware and news in the Atari world. The 'Newswire' column contains lots of computing industry news such as IBM's $5 billion loss in 1992 and why NeXT are stopping production of their workstations. Read about 'Blackmail', the voice mail system for the Falcon, Caligrapher 3, the latest version of The Gemulator and some new GFA BASIC programming utilities. Software reviewed includes Ceasar from Impressions and literally hundreds of PD/Shareware titles! There's also articles on connecting HD disk drives, fitting a hard drive to a Mega STE, a detailed Falcon compatibility software list and part 4 of the guide to Unix and Internet. If that's not enough, there are conferences with none other than Eric Smith (creator of Multi-TOS) and Atari's Bob Brodie! AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are BA1, DIGTHIS, GRILLED, KNUCKLEB, MY_DAY, SELFCTRL, THESONG. CLIPART (BOATS, BOOKS, BUSINESS, COMPUTER, COOKING) IN IMG FORMAT for use in DTP.

BASH - Impressive clone of Un*x Bourne shell (CLI) for use with MINT (LAN.54) multi-tasking TOS. Fully documented with source on LAN.58. Uses 350K of RAM plus 100K more for MINT, so realistically it needs a 2MB ST. Not a window or icon in sight and not for the faint hearted! ALUtils - Utilities with C source and library routines to format floppies, check C brackets, encrypt a disk and change file attributes. Automate V5.01 - The latest version of the highly acclaimed Automation packer. Fully documented. Load_Pic - An Auto folder program which loads and displays a PI1 file on boot up. Cardstack V1.0 - A very capable card file database program. Fully GEM based with keyboard shortcuts. Unfortunately there's no documentation. Offbeat - Duplicator v1.2 by Flix of Offbeat. This program has more options than any other formatter/copier. Fully documented. Offbeat and Load_Pic are colour only, the others are colour or mono. GRAVEYARD by M J Lord - An entertaining chance to blast everything that moves. Using your joystick, you control a spaceship and must destroy or avoid asteroids that are coming your way from every possible direction. You must shoot them to break them up, and finally, when you shoot the smallest ones, these release a blue crystal which needs to be collected to give power-ups. HOOG by M J Lord - A demo version of a very well put together platform game with great graphics and challenging gameplay.

Pressing ALT+Help (registered version) allows you to grab a screen (not necessarily from a GEM program) and save it directly to disk. Images are normally saved in (X)IMG, IFF or TIFF format. This version is limited in the fact that it only saves in IMG format, does not include the ALT+Help option and doesn't run in True Colour. Register to remove these restrictions. Program in English and German. DEPICT by Rana Dutt - Converts degas PI3 files into MacPaint's PICT format. EZGEM by Don Rice - Converts GEM Metafiles produced by Uniterm (when using GDOS) into a format which can be used in EasyDraw. Probably works for *.GEM files produced by other packages too.

'PETE' THE GREAT BRITISH INTERNATIONAL ST PARTY - A collection of 17 (including 3 STE only) great screens coded at a meeting of some of the ST's best known demo coders (mostly British), including Chaos, Electronic Images, Stew, Ripped Off, Digi Talis, The Fingerbobs and The Untouchables. The screens have the usual effects such as full screens, star fields (of various types), 3D shapes, sampled and chip music, and lots more. The Wild Boys' screen shows several effects at once. It has two lots of 3D blocks rotating in a ferris wheel like effect. There are also rotating stars and some other shapes on screen. Very impressive! Chaos also have a couple of screens including the main menu. There are also four screens which were coded in twenty four hours (or less). These are very good considering the time limit. The Untouchables' contribution begins with a nice sample and progresses to a chaos-like plasma effect. Electronic Images have done a meteor storm which then transforms into something completely different. If you don't have an STE, borrow one to see the Fingerbobs' 2nd screen! This two disk set can only be described as a 'great' British demo. STTALK - VT52 emulator which includes file transfer. ADDRESS - Simple telephone book database.

You can even design your own levels and save them to disk. FLIPEM - A puzzle game played on a 3x3 grid. You must change the balls in the grid on the left to match the colours of those on the left.

This magazine is not completely computer related so there's something for everyone. NAME NET 4.2 by Roger Derry - A welcome upgrade to this popular Shareware electronic address book. Unlike most database type programs, NameNet is not merely a computerised card index system. It works by way of links. Initially, a link is useful in reminding you that a specific entry is linked to another. However, as the database expands, each entry may be linked to several groups, so that you can locate someone by name, by occupation, by membership of a specific club etc. The good thing is that, if the individual moves house, his entry in all sections is updated. Similarly, if the club moves, all references to its address on members' entries are updated. All entries are categorised by type, Person, Business, Service etc; and different icons represent different types. Another useful feature is its sorting ability. If two or more entries with the same surname are found, they are then sub-ordered by first name, something most other databases ignore. NameNet is GEM based and designed with ease of use in mind. Everything can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse and sub-groups can sent to the printer just as easily. There's even an on-line Help system. Data can be imported and exported in ASCII format and both mailing labels and filofax compatible printout can be output from NameNet in addition to simple printout of data. A very well thought out and professionally presented program. An ACC version allows you to view data from within other programs. Needs 1 Mb.

DMJ_GIF v3 - Converts GIF, PI?, PC?, TN? and near enough anything else you can think of, into Spectrum 512 format. It can also re-size pictures which are larger than 320x200. A most impressive upgrade to a Shareware popular program. This latest version is fully GEM based, using a unique 3D push button interface. Unfortunately the docs are missing so you're on your own with this one. FINELINE - A very basic but nevertheless impressive line drawing program. You can load and save NEO and Degas pictures. Essentially all you can draw is lines or curves so this program would be of more use to improve existing pictures than create new ones. It could also prove popular for young children as it is simple to use. DUPSHOW - Perhaps one of the best slideshow programs around. You can view a selection of PI1, PI2, PC1, PC2, NEO, IFF, TNY and TN1 files and control display time etc. What is amazing about this program is that most file types can be compressed with ICE or Atomic and are still loaded and displayed normally. Top quality Shareware from France. FLICONV by Martin Packer - Converts FLI format (from Autodesk Animator on the PC) to TAT format as used by Thrax's Animation Tool on ART.72. This program converts all the frames across and performs any colour reduction necessary. ROYAL PAINT V1.32 by Atte Oksanen - A Shareware Degas clone from Finland. It runs very sluggishly compared to Degas but offers most of the same functions and a few extras. Royal Paint loads and saves in Degas PI1 format. PUZZLE by R Randle - A sliding puzzle where you must re-arrange all 26 letters of the alphabet into the correct order. R-ZONE by Ross McNaughton - Move your drone around the playing area and collect the nine radioactive pods. You must keep moving and can't backtrack your own steps otherwise you lose a life. Nine levels to complete. R-ZONE 2 - Similar to its predecessor but with different types of floor tiles (permanent, dissolving and one-way), a pause mode, 32 levels and a few more extras. QUINZAINE V1.0 by Jean-Etienne Doucet - An excellent implementation of patience played with two packs of cards. The cards are dealt randomly into 15 piles and must be arranged into eight piles (one ascending, the other descending for each suit). Rules are basically those for patience and are fully explained in both English and French. ZAPTASTIC by Lee Burrows - Remember Jeff Minter's Anticipal on the C64? Well this is basically it on the ST! It's essentially a madcap shoot 'em up in which your aim is to eliminate everything that moves in all 64 rooms within the set time limit. It's odd, it's wierd but it's great fun too. Source codes and executable programs from "A Book on C" by Berry & Meekins. The disk should be used in conjunction with the book. Both the book and the disk are strongly recommended to beginners. This disk contains references to chapters 5 and 8. You require C.08 for the other chapters. CMANSHIP - Programming examples, mostly in C. Some executable programs. OASIS 2.10 by Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi - The ultimate Internet access package. This is the long awaited followup to Oasis on COM.5249 and it now completely replaces AtariNOS with ICE, its own GEM based on-line software, making it the complete solution for both on-line and off-line use. Like its predecessor, Oasis 2 handles mail, newsgroups, ftp and telnet sessions and comes complete with extensive docs in ST-Guide (not included) format. Both SLIP and PPP protocols are handled correctly and posting to newsgroups is now possible with all ISPs. Mail-wise, you have the choice of using either SMTP or POP 3 standards. Automated logons for both anonymous and password protected ftp access are supported, binary files can be automatically uuencoded, yellow pages and outmail have been improved and you can even perform searches in these databases. Finally, you can download only newsgroup headers then mark the articles you want to download in full. Shareware at its best, some functions are not fully operational but there's more than enough to get started with. Includes simple to understand instructions on how to get HS Modem (included) set up for your system. The only thing you can't do is access the WWW (yet!). Includes conversion utilities for your Oasis 1.35 mail, outmail, yellow pages and newsgroup files. Needs 1 Mb and a hard drive. Clip Art (PLANES, CHOPPERS, BRIDGES) in IMG format.

LAMER BRAIN DEMO by The Megabusters - This is the Megabusters first Falcon demo. It starts off with the usual 3D starfield then goes onto the famous multi-sprite effect where lots of copies of the same sprite move around the screen in a snake-like formation. The only difference is that the sprites are big and there s hundreds of them Other effects include the 3D dot generated tunnel keftales and some excellent graphic stills which appear throughout the demo. Some excellent fractals are displays and one of the screens shows several different fractal screens being overlayed with others in a semi-transparent fashion. All in all a welcome entry to the Falcon demo scene accompanied by good music. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg. POINT OF INFLECTION by Lord Foul - This is a great demo which concentrates on a new effect. It creates multi-coloured 2D and 3D objects from fast moving things which resemble tadpoles for lack of a better description . The objects do themselves rotate in realtime thanks to some nifty DSP coding. The music is great too being handled by the Falcon s CODEC sound chip. By the way the demo is in three parts press SPACE to advance or you ll watch the same set of objects all day RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg. X-OVER by The Chaos Engine - A great tune and a long scroller in English and German. That s about all there is to say about this one Needs 4 Meg.

Needs at least 1 Meg, works better with 2 Meg or more. YMODEM-G v1.25 by Zipline Software - One of the fastest file transfer protocols available. Full documentation included. ULIMATE MUZAK DEMO VOLUME IV by PHF - One of those old fashioned demos where you guide an odd looking character around a large 'playing area' visiting various locations, each of which (in this case) leads to a tape recorder with a different set of tunes. Reminiscent of the B.I.G. demo but with the emphasis on music rather than sub-demos. Each pillar in this case takes you into a music zone. Once you enter the music zone you have control over what looks like a car stereo with several tracks from a particular game/demo or by a specific musician.

TeX On The ST. This is a typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. ORIGAMI - A demo of an ingenious commercial product. The demo has only one digitised model for you to follow but the full version has ten. In addition, you can save and print out your own designs in the commercial version. A truly novel approach to the ancient art of paper folding. Soundtracker files and player program . Files are XENON2, MEGAFORC, MEGA_MIX, KEFTUNE2, MONSTER, SNARE. THE KIDNEY BEAN DEMO by Zap Creation of The Heavy Killers - This is the first demo from a new crew. It features 14 sub demos and was coded completely in GFA Basic. It has good graphics and music throughout, some of the music is 'borrowed' and some is original. On the main menu a ball falls continuously and you can guide it using the cursor keys. Press Space when next to any door and you start from that demo. Each time you press Space you progress to the next. A pretty respectable first demo. FIVE TO FIVE V2.11 - Converts sampled sound data between various formats1. It supports conversion to and from DVSM AVR SND AU WAV and raw data. This makes sound samples portable between the ST Falcon PC Mac Sun and NeXT. The program allows samples to be converted from mono to stereo and vice versa as well employing a choice of packing algorythms as used on the various machines. AUTOMOD by Douglas Little - Plays any Soundtracker Protracker or Noisetracker MOD file in 16-bit stereo at 50khz Simply install the program from the Desktop then simply double-click the module to play it.

Allows programs which use STE DMA sound and were previously silent on the Falcon to work. WIN_REC v1.5 by Andreas Binner - A Shareware direct to disk recording program. It allows you to record input from the microphone socket direct to your hard drive. Loads and saves AIFF AVR and DVS samples. WinRec has evolved into a very professional system and is feature packed. Now comes complete with a jingle player and MetaDOS compatible audio CD player which synchronises with WinRec. Please note that your hard drive must have a data transfer rate of 400 KB/sec or faster in order to record 16-bit stereo samples at 50Khz. There are some limitations in this unregistered version. Obviously you ll need a hard drive to make use of WinRec. CD PLAYER - Allows you to play music CDs on any SCSI CD-ROM drive running under v6.0 or later of ICD s software. Multi-TOS compatible. DESKTRACKER V1.30 - Plays Protracker MOD files as a background task on an STE TT or Falcon. There s also a Multi-TOS version which once installed allows you to double-click the MODs from the Desktop.

While playing the mod you can alter the treble bass and volume. Various statistics about the MOD are displayed and the graphical display. DMA SOUND v 1.2 by Anthony Watson - A later version of the program which plays sound using the DMA chip in the STE. This version runs on the Falcon and TT too. Once installed it allows you to play sampled sound through the DMA chip by simply double-clicking the sample. DSP v1.1 - This program is a digital signal processor for filtering sampled sounds. It has nothing to do with the DSP chip in the Falcon. It allows you to create high pass and low pass digital filters and use them to process digital information. A typical use would be to remove backround noise from a sound sample. The converted samples can then by listened to using QPLAY which is supplied along with the program. PROPLAY by Cylab of TPN - Another ACC which plays Protracker MOD files in 4 track stereo at 33mhz as background tasks. Source is included in Devpac and Turbo Assembler format.

SPECTRUM V1.0 - A spectrum analyser which performs DSP fourier transformation in real time. Multi-TOS compatible. THE ULTIMATE TRACKER V2.52 by Equinox - Yet another MOD player. It plays Noisetracker Soundtracker or Protracker MODs and even accepts files packed by Ice Packer Power Packer or Noisepacker included on disk along with a decompression program . It can be run as a PRG ACC or GTP and plays back MODs at 12.5khz 25khz or 50khz. When run as an ACC or under Multi-TOS it plays the MOD in the background letting you get on with something else. It runs in any resolution and even has a status bar showing how much of the MOD still has to play If that s not enough an oscilloscope for both channel runs in another window and the program can play MODs from a script file. XBAR III v1.0 - This program allows you to execute DSP programs and divert the output from ADC DSP DMA or EXT to DAC DSP DMA or EXT. Apart from making wierd noises I m not sure what its real purpose is since there are no docs. Multi-TOS compatible but won t run correctly in ST compatible modes. WINCUT V1.0 - A companion program to Winrec. This is a sound sample editor. It allows you to load samples in DVI format as created by Winrec and edit them on screen cutting pasting copying and deleting as required.

ADLOGO - A 3D semi-transparent logo superimposed over a country scene rotates and takes on the colours of the background as it does so. NUT - A 3D nut as in nut and bolt spinning with some sort of temple in the background. WARNING - The word WARNING zoom in and grabs your attention. Adlogo needs 4 Meg the other two will run on 1 Meg. Clip Art in IMG format (GRAPHIC TOOL DRAWINGS). Files are AIRBRUSH, AIRBRSH2, ARCHFOTO, BRUSHES, BRUSHES2, COPIER_1, COPIER_2, D_BOARD, GLUE___1, INKS, PAINT, PAINTS, PANTINKS, PENS_2, PROJCTR1, RENDER, SCALPELS, SHARPEN1, TECHPEN1, WASHES_1, WASHES_2. LOTTERY5 v3.0 by Robin Fisher - Yet another useful utility to help assist those of us who participate in the National Lottery. This program differs from most as it does not work merely on the basis of random selection (although this is available as an option). Instead, it is aimed primarily at those of you who run syndicates. The database accomodates up to 260 weeks of draws and allows up to 30 syndicate selections including names and up to 10 personal selections. Comprehensive statistical analysis charts out the most and least popular numbers averaged over the weeks that the program contains data for. This allows you to make an 'educated guess' when picking next week's numbers. Each week you enter the numbers drawn and the program will check them against the numbers held by the syndicate. You can also print out an analysis of the results for each member from within the program. A lot of research has gone into the creation of this program. Hopefully a lot of money will come out of it! LOTTERY COMPANION v4.22 by Mark Butler - Written by one of Britain's best known Shareware authors, LC is another carefully researched program rather than merely a random number picker, although it can do that too. Each week you add the draw numbers to the statistics stored on disk and predictions can be made based on the least or most commonly drawn numbers drawn over a period of time and three built- in weighting options are used to improve the accuracy of this forecast. As you do this, your numbers will automatically be checked against the draw. An additional feature in this program is the number wheel where you enter the number of data sets required (you can have up to 1000) and either pick 12 number fields manually or using one of the program's built-in number generation methods. All possible permutations of six lucky numbers chosen from your selection of 12. Pattern analysis is also useful as it displays any patterns that are forming after analysing all draws performed to date. LC supports print out to any printer and is constantly being updated. This latest version is fully compatible with the mid-week draw. Suitable for personal or syndicate use. Can you afford to miss out on this one? PAPYRUS v5.11 - Probably the most exciting document processor since Calligrapher! As well as all the standard features, Papyrus supports multiple fonts (both its own format and SpeedoGDOS/NVDI) and is Multi-TOS compatible. Its features also include multiple rulers, multiple text styles within a document, graphic import and re-size to screen or printer and the ability to create tables easily. You can set up your page layout to suit, zoom in on any part of the document, apply various line and fill styles and create vector objects from within the program. Printer support is extensive and covers 9-pin Epson, 24-pin Epson & NEC and HP Laserjet/Deskjet (including the colour models). The output is as good as anything you'll get from a DTP package. You can create an even save your documents, you just can't print them with this demo. You do not need to install SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 (or later) to use Papyrus but the package is enhanced for these systems if available. The version effectively replaces the v2.21 on PDEM.4301. Now in English. Needs 1 Mb. MEGA ISSUE 2 by Chris Swinson - A double-disk edition of this newcomer. This issues sees the introduction of a new shell program which works like the Falcon's Desktop! The displayer program is one of the best I've seen, very stylish and with graphic support too. Mega is a general interest mag, rather than an ST mag and, like issue 1, Mega 2 features lots of articles from the Internet, but rather than being just a "Net dump", there's some interesting stuff you'd probably never find elsewhere. Articles include a history of Atari from 1972 to 1996, news of a 24Mhz upgrade kit for the ST, background info and details of Chris's experiments with amplifiers, a "behind the scenes" on the new shell and masses of information on Star Wars. There's also a number of more obscure articles such as experiments into anti-gravity, dreams FAQ, a fool's guide to lucid dreams, bugging cars, ghost stories and more.... Dedicated sections of the mag cover such subjects as gardening, getting rich quick, UFOs, meditation, STOS, humour, science and much, much more. A diverse second issue. FIREFORCE by Trigon - An arcade adventure which draws influences from both Dungeon Master and Alien but with a Doom-esque sort of feel to it. You play the part of a Space Marine on a mission to eliminate a criminal organisation known as The Red Hordes. As you would expect this game is based around wanton destruction. Shoot everything that moves and run for it if your shots are doing no good There are lots of objects to collect and use doors to open and dead ends to avoid. A unique feature of Fireforce is its support for up to three players participating simultaneously either cooperatively or against each other. Alternatively one player can control up to three marines. Control is by joystick keyboard or Jaguar joypad and you can save your game at any time. Specially enhanced for the Falcon with DSP generated sound also uses TT compatible DMA sound . You progress from one level to the next by killing all the monsters or your friend/s if in dual mode or finding the exit. You have several weapons at your disposal all of which have their stengths and weaknesses. This Shareware version lets you play 3 full levels chosen randomly from 15 each of which can consist of several floors the full version has 42. The full version also features three different scenarios and a level editor. Fireforce needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. The Light Show by Richard Glass . A disk which generates random patterns which pulsate in time to the digitised music. CLACKER - You are chief droid in a factory making Clacks. You must assemble the clacks correctly to survive. Failure to do so in the allotted time means that you will be destroyed. Can you meet the challenge. HYLEILOS by Markus Knonenberg - A revamped version of Zyklop now with multi-screens and special spells. Collect all the diamonds to get the exit key. Once collected, a diamond's shadow turns into a skull. Don't bump into them. Shapeshifters Music. BALLPARK by Andrew Oakley - An original puzzle game in which you have to guide your rolling robot to a safe exit, while collecting all the bonuses, avoiding monsters, one way streets, and black holes. Pleasant digitized sound effects. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. Play It and 7 more samples . Files are DIGIDING, DOESNOT, DOORBELL, SU-RUSSI, SEXYHI, SEALION and SCREAM. HP SUPPORT DISK 5 - Yet another collection of useful bits and pieces for Hewlett Packard range of Deskjet and Laserjet printers. This time the disk is almost entirely devoted to SpeedoGDOS printer drivers. DJMAGIC by Rueben Thomas - Allows you to switch on an HP Deskjet after your computer without having to reset the computer in order to recognise the printer. Now MagiC compatible. PRINT IT V2.05 - Designed especially for those of you who own the more modern printers which don't have dip switches! It allows you to create and test your own printer drivers which can then be used in conjunction with PRINT IT V1 to print out ASCII text files. The SPEEDOGDOS DRIVERS are for the Deskjet 550 and 600 and the Laserjet 4P and 4L. The Deskjet drivers support colour if using SpeedoGDOS v5 or NVDI 3 (or later). The 660 driver supports 600 dpi printout. IDEALIST v3.8 by Christophe Bartholme - A beautifully presented Shareware utility for printing text files. Creates multiple columns (up to 9) and handles straight ASCII, RTF and 1st Word formats. Up to four different sizes of text can be used within a single document and (Speedo)GDOS fonts may be used within your documents. Also supported are downloadable laser and dot matrix printer fonts and you can of course use any of the inbuilt fonts in your printer. Other notable features include converting email text attributes to real attributes, adjustable print margins, line numbering option, background spooling (up to 36 files can be in the queue), separate management of continuous and single feed paper, automatic trimming of long lines to fit available space, page skip mode, window iconification under Multi-TOS or ICFS and support for long file names via XFS under Multi-TOS and MagiC. You can configure 1st Word or any other text editor to be run from within Idealist if so desired. Idealist can be configured for any printer. Configurations for several 9-pin, 24-pin, Deskjet, LaserJet, Canon Bubblejets, Epson Stylus, Starjet SJ-48 and the Atari laser are included. Fully GEMmed and Multi-TOS compatible with a print preview option. IDEATOOLS - A collection of utilities by Christophe Bartholme designed to complement Idealist. IDEAFORM V1.7 - Makes source code listings easier to read by emphasising comments and key words with text attributes. Exactly how the source file is altered depends on the settings in the key file, which is user-defined. Key files for Basic, C, C++, Modula 2, Pascal, assembler and Tex are included. Can be run from Idealist or as a standalone program. IDEABOOK V1.1 - Reorganises the pages in a 1st Word or ASCII file so that they are in the correct order for folding and stapling so that they make up a booklet. Can be run from Idealist or as a standalone program. GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed (Speedo)GDOS fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful for other applications. BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files, therefore saving paper. It also converts between Atari, Ansi, Mac and PC ASCII files i.e. it translates characters above ASCII 127 correctly between the formats. It also converts Unix ASCII to DOS format so that it can be read on the Atari. Now with an easy to use GEM interface. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 11 - Three excellent 256 colour animations created on the PC. ASLAMP - An angled lamp moves and shines a beam of light as it goes. A most impressive piece of work. BIRDY - A ray traced bird the one from the Birdy Demo on FALC.3985 jumps up and down on a platform as if doing some sort of dance. Watch the shadows follow the bird s movements. BOUNCE 2 - A ray traced ball bounces on a chequered background with the background being reflected on the ball as it bounces. Aslamp needs 4 Meg the other two will run on 1 Meg. Fantasy Clip Art in IMG format . Files are GOB1-GOB7 GOBLIDOG GOGSOLDI ORCCOMMA ORENT PRINCESS RED 2GOBSOLD 3GOBWARR BLACK BLUE FIRE TAIL TREES TROLL WOLF MONSTERS NORSE NORSE_3 RING_3 SERVANT SHIELD SPECTRE SPELL SPHINX AIR BUILDER CAT DEMON DEMON2 DRAGON FIGHTER FIRE FRAME GHOST GRIFF HARPY HOBHOUND ILLUSION MONK NORSE_2 THREE. FRACTAL PLAYTIME - View a fractal, select an area and recalculate it to make it prettier! Plenty of examples are supplied on disk. Docs in LaTex and DVI format. JCVIEW v2.1 by John Charles - An art viewer and clip manipulator. It has quite an extensive file support and lots of special effects. MONO ONLY. 24 BITS - A small program that displays QRT (or MTV) Raytrace RAW format pictures. It's rather similar to Photochrome, except it only runs at 60Hz. PICSWITCH V.101 - Just when you thought any updates of v0.7 had sunk without trace, at long last it gets updated! Don't get too excited, as for some strange reason John Brochu has decided to make this a mono graphic printer tool, supporting 9-pin, 24-pin and HP Laserjet printers. Even though he has extended even further the file format support, the only saves are in mono IMG. If you're a mono user it's great, otherwise don't delete v0.7! ST PIC - A simple picture converter which only converts to mono files. It runs in mono or colour and loads Degas, Doodle, Stad, Mac, Neo, Art Director, TIF, IMG and GEM metafiles. It converts them to mono TIF, IMG or PI3 only. ST PIC has dithering controls and can scroll around larger than normal pictures. JC VIEW is mono only, Fractal Playtime and 24 Bits are colour only. Picswitch and ST PIC run in colour or mono. - BREAKTHRU by Gadjits - This is a development of Sequencer One Plus and is currently (as at March 1993) the only MIDI sequencer which also outputs samples via AVR's Replay 16. Several functions are disabled in this demo but there is enough to whet the appetite. In fact, songs created are saved in their entirety, but only the first 12 bars are loaded back in. Unfortunately only the samples on the disk can be used. You cannot use your own samples. Needs 1 Meg. PAGESTREAM SUPPORT DISK 3 - Just when you thought that SoftLogik had dropped Pagestream on the ST, you realised that we had not! This is yet another of those useful disks full of bits and pieces to enhance the use of your favourite DTP package. ARKUS V1.00 - A font manager program which displays the names of installed Postscript Type 1 fonts. It also displays copyright information and other useful data about the fonts. FONTKILL by David Troy - When Pagestream exports a document in Postscript format, it embeds copies of all the Postscript type 1 fonts into the file. At the bureau, they usually have to spend time removing these before they start work. What this program does is to let you remove Type 1 fonts from the document, resulting in smaller files and smaller time charges from the bureau. Needs 2 Meg. FONTSWAP 2 by David Becker - Allows you to subsitute the fonts used in a Postscript document with any others of your choice. This is particularly useful if someone gives you a document which uses fonts that you don't have. Some files will be ready to print, others will need to be tidied up in your DTP package. Regardless, this program will allow you to make use of the documents. Mono Only. LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey - Outputs an ASCII listing of all fonts in a specified directory. It supports PostScript Types 1 & 3, PageStream and various other formats. It outputs full pathname, file type, file name and full font name. The output file is formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database programs. PAGESTREAM TEMPLATES by EYM Cheng - These templates allow you to reproduce industry standard crop marks for typesetting and/or colour work using Pagestream 2.2. This gets round the bug in the program and/or Postscript printer driver. PGS_CFG v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your Pagestream import/export driver setup easily, using simple mouse clicks. CFNTODMF by Eine Computing - Converts Calamus .CFN fonts to PageStream .DMF fonts. PAGESTREAM OUTLINE FONT EDITOR - Fully functional font designer/editor with sample fonts. Full documentation included. CANON BJC800 - A printer driver for the Canon BJ800 colour printer. PaCifiST v0.48 by Frederic Gidouin - A Freeware ST emulator for PC and compatibles. This disk allows you to run Atari software on a PC and is aimed at those of you who own both machines. First of all you need a TOS ROM image. As the code contained within TOS ROMs is copyright Atari it is not supplied. Instead an ST program is supplied which copies TOS from your own ST into a disk file. If you no longer own a real ST you will be unable to use PaCifiST as you need this TOS image. PaCifiST is supplied on a high density disk so it can be read on a PC but NOT on an ST. In order to use the TOSDUMP program you must first copy it on the PC onto a 720K disk then use this on your ST. PaCifiST is compatible with all TOS versions up to 2.06 and you can swap between TOS versions if you have access to more than one. Once set up the program accurately emulates a standard ST or STe and includes support for mouse joystick sound DMA stereo if emulating an STE and all ST screen resolutions. It runs all properly behaved GEM based programs as you would expect. In addition it can also run most ST games and demos even a number of commercial games. This is done by creating disk images which can then be autobooted like a real disk in Drive A and there s no limit to the number of these virtual disks which may be stored on your PC s hard drive. PaCifiST runs under DOS or Windows incl Win95 and comes with a number of useful setup and configuration utilities. A fast 486 or Pentium is required in order to emulate an ST at full speed. It will run on lower specified machines but may be a little slow. This disk is included in our collection for the benefit of customers who use both Atari and PC computers. We regret that no technical advice can be offered on this product as we do not own a PC at Floppyshop. SUPER PACMAN by Ed Cleveland - One of the best Pacman games ever written. Control is by joystick or Jaguar joypad and is very responsive, unlike most other Pacman games. Action is very fast and everything is very smoothly animated at 50 fps on a standard STFM! In this version, different coloured pills allow you to perform different actions and there's keys to collect too. Kill all four ghosts at once for a "Kenneth Williams Bonus"! The ghosts are more intelligent than most, making this game a real challenge. Includes several levels of play. TRAPPED II by Digital Dan - A light cycles/tron type game for up to four human or computer controlled players. Control can be by joystick (up to four joysticks can be used with a parallel port adaptor) or keyboard (definable) and the aim is to avoid hitting the sides of the playing area or other players of course. As your light cycle progresses, it leaves a wall behind it. You must avoid hitting this wall and try to force your opponents to hit it! Trapped II features a built-in level editor, several speeds of play, lots of user-definable settings and a special tournament mode. This is the STE version, an STFM version is available on GAM.6156C. The main difference is the use of stereo sound in this version. Clip Art in GEM forma t. 198 files on disk! TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are BOOKOS, BOOKOSB, BOOKOSBI, BOOKOSI, BROOKLNN, BROOKLNT, BUCCANEE, CAC_____, CAIRO, CARAWAYB, CARTOON-, CARTWRIG, CASABLCB, CASPROFN, CASTLEB, CASTLEN, CHARLIE_. THE SILVERBALL - An impressive animation of a large 3D ray traced animated bouncing ball. Very similar in concept to Shiny Bubbles but mono only. Needs 1 Meg. BIRDS OF PREY INTRO by ESD - This is the amazing intro sequence to the STE game that never was! It was being developed by Argonaut Software for Electronic Arts when they took the decision to drop all future and present ST projects. The game will never be seen but the intro is a masterpiece for all to savour. It features an animation of fighter planes in combat flying over a fractal generated landscape. This is accompanied by the digitised sound of the fighters' engines and pilots' voice overs. Great stereo sound and incredible graphics. A classic. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. THE KOZMIC COMPENDIUM by Dave Henniker - After a runaway success on the Shareware scene, Dave has decided to release Kozmic 4 as Freeware. This three disk set includes a full registered version of Kozmic 4, the complete STOS source to the program, companion program Zonk, the full manual on disk, over forty pictures created with Kozmic and a specially patched version of the program for Mega ST owners (the normal program doesn't run on their machines). For anyone who is unfamiliar with this package, Kozmic is a psychedelic pattern generator with full user control over the patterns generated. As well as creating the patterns, you can zoom, mirror, distort, merge two screens, merge bitplanes and much more. Many of these are accompanied by equally unusual sampled sound effects. There's extensive palette control and a built in slideshow feature too. This latest version has on-line help and if you have an STE and more than 1 Meg of memory, you'll get stereo sound samples as well as the mono ones. Kozmic's two main claims to fame are that graphics created by it were used by the techno-rock group Tranceport on the cover of their CD Tranceglobal and Kozmic graphics were used in a video by a Belgian rock band which was shown on MTV! Kozmic needs at least 1 Meg. ATARI USER GROUP (AUG) March 1992 Issue 1 - Another disk magazine enters the now crowded arena, and I'm pleased to say this is a fine attempt. The Articles are mainly written by Fraser Blacklaws, with a few done by friends. The user interface is very slick indeed and is a joy to use. The reading of articles is particularly effortless with the customised Revenge Doc Displayer. A nicely thought out idea is it's ability to run the included PD programs directly from the magazine. The PD includes a program which calculates telephone call costs (similar to Fonecost), PAD 2.0 (outstanding German monochrome art program) and a car registration plate decoder! There's reviews of Curse of the Azure Bonds, UVK 5.2, PAD 2.0 and a Monster Stereo Cartridge Vs Playback cartridges review. The main articles are of a good standard, with an extremely good guide on DTP, and a convincing report on Inkjet printers. There are guides to TOS and the Desktop, which are good for beginners and experienced users alike! An interview with Paul Kaufman from Softline makes good reading too. Awaiting the second issue. CC10F - French docs,RSC and help files for Currency Converter on UTL.6136. ATARI ENVIRONMENT MANAGER V1.00 by Alexandre Very - A boot manager program for multi-tasking systems. It lets you specify which Auto folder programs, ACCs and CPXs are to be loaded for the current session. If Xboot is currently installed in your system, its configuration files are converted for use with AEM. One of the better boot managers. Works with Multi-TOS, Geneva and MagiC. All docs in French. THE DISKZINE CONSTRUCTION KIT by Tony Greenwood - Now there's nothing to stop you making your own disk mag. This kit is based on an early version of the popular ST+ diskzine and is so easy to use, it hardly has any documentation! You can have up to 9 intro screens (or none at all), use your own menu screen, your own Help screen your own info bar and even position text anywhere on the menu screen. Sixteen different fonts are supplied and these may be mixed as often as you wish within articles. Features include built-in search and print, ability to use packed text files, various types of chip music, support for pictures within articles and a built-in screen saver! A very well thought out release. Colour only. DEC_KEY - A DIY project which explains how to connect a LK201 keyboard (as used in all modern DEC terminals and workstations) to an ST using the serial or Midi port. If using the serial port, a special lead needs to be made up, but no modification of the ST is needed. If using Midi, a fair bit of modification to the electronics inside your ST is required. The DEC keyboards are almost identical in layout to the ST keyboard, but much more responsive for typing. The necessary software is supplied to drive the keyboard from the appropriate port. Please note, we accept no responsibility for any damage caused to your machine by use (or misuse) of the information in this package. MEMFILE 3.0 by Gribnif Software - Allows you to view (ROM & RAM) and edit (RAM) memory locations as well as disk sectors and files. Runs as an ACC, allowing it to be called up from within other programs. Be careful, editing RAM contents is NOT advised as it can very easily crash your computer! SENTINEL v1.0 by Karl Ashton - A password protection system for MagiC users. It runs before the desktop and asks you to log in. Get the password wrong three times and your machine locks up. As well as locking out unwanted "guests", Sentinel also logs all access attempts so you know when someone tried to access your computer and what their attempted password was! THAT'S WRITE FONTS - A collection of fonts for use with That's Write from Compo and 24-pin printers. Fonts are QAMBER, QBUBBLE, QKANSTLE, QLANORM, QMARCUS, QPLOP, QROCO, QOSCOLA, QSCRITTO, SAMBER, SBUBBLE, SKANSTLE, SLANORM, SMARCUS, SPLOP, SROCO, SOSCOLA, SSCRITTO. A COLLECTION OF 165 SOUND SAMPLES BASS FX INSTRUMENTS JARREVOX PERCUSSION MISCELLANEOUS. for use with sound tracker type programs to produce your own MOD files. HEWLETT PACKARD LASERJET/DESKJET SUPPORT DISK 4 - Yet another of those useful collections of printer drivers and support programs for the HP range of printers. REMOTE CONTROL by Donald Bork - CPX modules for controlling the HP Laserjet 4, 4P and 4L. They allow you to change the print quality, memory settings, page setup and font type and size, all things which cannot be done from the dip switches. The CPX's are in German but the doc is in English. Register for the English CPX's. Needs to be used with Xcontrol on UTL.3879. HP CHROME V1.5 by Rufus Developments - Prints colour pictures on any HP Deskjet (even mono ones, assuming you have a colour kit fitted of course!). You can adjust the colour rendering to suit and print out using one of three quality settings. Pictures can even be cropped or viewed in any ST resolution. This latest upgrade supports the printing of Degas, NEO, TNY, GIF, TIFF, IMG, RAW and Spectrum 512 pictures. HP_EDIT v1.10 by Stig Norin - Edits downloadable fonts for the HP Deskjet (12 point only).

These fonts can only be used if you have a RAM cartridge fitted to your Deskjet. PAC PAGE v1.0 by Bill Aycock - Switches a Pacific Page P*E cartridge fitted to an HP Laserjet, to Postscript or HP PCL mode and includes the option of sending a Postscript control end of file command to the printer. Runs as a PRG or ACC on any ST or TT in any resolution. HP LASERJET II SOFTFONT DOWNLOADER V1.1 by Richard Morris - Allows you to download soft fonts to any HP Laserjet II or compatible. Five fonts are supplied for you to try out. In automatic mode, it works from a script file, in manual mode you can get a printout of each font and install any font as default. PRINTorSAVE - Depending on a key combination, it will either snapshot a screen to disk or print a normal ALT/Help screendump. Includes a special version for screen dumping to the HP DeskJet. NOT STE.

SLIME NEMESIS by the same author - Stalactytes of slime, drop from the cave ceiling. While you attempt to shoot at them, aliens interfere with your efforts. STOS source code included. FIREGAME by Mike Duncan from OzSoft - A Monopoly inspired board game with many new concepts. Rather than buy houses, you now have to build them, one section at a time. As the title implies, fire is a continuous hazard. You may take out insurance of course and keep a few fire buckets handy, but the risk is always there. For one or two players. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. ST+ #20 SEPTEMBER 1997 - The ST's only monthly disk mag is back again. This month's news looks at the closure of 42BBS and AtariPhile, a host of new products (CD recorders, CD writing software, Hades, Link 97, Cubase Audio 16, C-Lab Falcon MK-X, MK-X cases, even faster Nemesis, monitors, hard drives and a whole lot more) from Titan Designs, Atari Times disk-mag, Michigan Mike 2, HERO 2 and a preview of the October 1997 Atari Shows. The beginners' section continues its A-Z of computer jargon with the letters J, K & L, looks at the development of graphic user interfaces (and GEM in particular) and how to upgrade the RAM in an STE. There are DIY projects on increasing the screen area on an SM124 monitor, fitting a high density drive and Anthony Lacey (All At Sea BBS) is in "the chair". Reviews are of Joust, Hockey, Hydra, Ishido: The Way of Stones, Klax, Kung Food, Lynx Casino, MS Pac-Man (all Lynx), Michigan Mike, Battle Zone, Demon Blue, Ivanhoe, Bombjack, Battle Zone 2 (all ST), HERO 2, Obsession (both STE & Falcon).

GENEVA 003 PATCH - Updates release 002 v1.01 of Gribnif s Geneva multi- tasking OS to release 003 v1.02 . It requires that you have an original of Geneva v1.01 otherwise it is of no use to you. Another patch on FALC.5509 then updates v1.02 to v1.03. THE X-PLOTION DEMO by Imagina - A multi part demo with some interesting effects. Features great 3D stereo sound, 3D vector ball objects, fractals and amusing cartoon stills. Rather than the usual multi-part demo which loads one part at a time, this is more of a continuous demo, requiring only one disk access in the middle of the demo. Good graphics and sound. STE ONLY. BOS Issue 1, Sept 95 - This Shareware magazine is aimed at both Atari and PC users. It comes on two disks, both of which are filled with lots of news, reviews, tutorials, STOS help, STOS and GFA source, adverts, a list of the top PDLs, jokes, UFO info, Murphy's Laws and McDonalds' info! There's articles on the HP Deskjet, how to use a PC 1.44 Mb 3.5" drive on the ST\STE and how to connect an NEC Multisync II monitor to your ST. There's a guide to modems and 'Net language explained. STOS Extensions looks at the Spec Code extension and there's a tutorial on writing demos in STOS. Cheaters' Digest includes an A-Z of cheats as well the full list of Lemmings level codes and cheats and tips for Midwinter 2, Police Quest and Starball. TV and Film info has scripts from Alien 3 and some Red Dwarf and Star Trek stuff (including Klingon lingo and Homer's Faves). There's a comparison between the Amiga A1200 and the Atari Falcon and PD Reviews including Medieval Chess, Star Trek - The Klingon War, Teradesk v1.39, The Dreamzone Demo and STOS Extensions #2. A great first issue which will flourish further with outside input. JP40 by Harun Scheutzow - A DIY hardware project for building an adaptor which allows Maxon s Junior Prommer an EPROM burner to create 16-bit 44- pin EPROMs 27C1024 27C2048 27C4096 27C8192 devices as well as the smaller capacity 27C210 and 27C1002 varieties. The short instructions are in German but we ve done a RUF translation. Diagrams and PCB layouts are supplied as 300 dpi IMG files. You will also require a software driver such as Pinatubo on FALC.5351 . M_TUNF V1.0 by David Reitter - Allows you to unfreeze ACCs or programs running in single-tasking mode under MagiC or MagiCMac. Under normal circumstances only normal multi-tasking programs can be unfrozen if they crash. German docs but with a RUF translation. GRAPH V1.49 by Bernard le Tirant - Perhaps the best statistical analysis program ever written but don t let that put you off Graph is is GEM based spreadsheet with in-built graphing facilities. Everything is customisable and simple to use. Data can be presented as pie charts bar graphs and linear graphs in 11 different styles. The charts are all vector graphs and can be moved around a blank page and positioned as required. Text can be added too. Individual graphs can be saved in GEM Metafile format or the entire page can be printed or saved. Graph works well as a sophisticated spreadsheet yet offers much more with its integrated graphing functions. There s just one catch Speedo GDOS or NVDI must be installed in order to use the fonts and graphing capabilities although plain text output is possible from the spreadsheet without these. Program in English. A serious competitor to K-Spread 4. Shareware at its best. Multi-tasking friendly. TAR-IMP by Carsten Friehe - A plug in module for GEMAR v2.31 or later FALC.5149 which lets you import individual files from tape archives created using the TAR archiving method despite the fact that tar archives do not have an Index file . It supports the GNU-tar SINIX-tar and HP-UX-tar variants. Only of use if you are already using GEMAR. German docs but we ve done a RUF translation. TURBO PACKER by Wolfgang Mayerle - Yet another file packer. It compresses both executable and data files giving similar results to Ice Pack and Atomik. No docs but simple to use. DSPCONT - An ACC which allows you to unlock the DSP from the Desktop or within any GEM program if it crashes during any operation. Avoids the need to power down your Falcon before using another DSP based application. DSPBENCH V1.0 - Gives information on the performance of your Falcon s DSP56001 co-processor measured against the standard expected performance. Results are saved to disk as an ASCII file. Most useful for comparative purposes after fitting a processor accelerator like Nemesis. NEMBENCH V1.0 - Another benchmark program for testing the CPU and FPU. Saves results to disk as ASCII file. Once again most useful for testing out a processor accelerator. No docs for either benchmark program but results are fairly obvious anyway. DBA MAG #1 (Oct '91) by The Disk Busters Association - A totally new concept in disk magazines from a Swedish/Dutch crew. The user interface is great to use and puts many to shame. There are 63 articles on disk and 9 pieces of music to listen to! Subjects covered include coding raster colours in assembler and GFA Basic, converting a trackball to work on the ST, reviews of CDs, reviews of four new cars, demo news, game previews, lots of jokes (some a touch adult in nature), poems, movie reviews, GFA Basic programming, STOS programming and much more. Never have I seen so much content in a first issue of any disk mag. Some of the English is badly translated and makes humorous reading! Be warned, there is some bad language. Digi Synth 4 by The Wild Boys - The intro features a wobbly scroller and pulsating effects. The main menu lets you select from another nine MOD files ported from the Amiga. KA9Q NET v930430 - Net for the Atari ST. This disk will be of interest to Radio HAMs who would like to get into TCP/IP Packet Radio, which is mainly used on 144.625 MHz. This version supports file uploading and downloading, automatic mail forwarding and numerous other functions such as finger, telnet and ttylink. You can also have your station used as a node as well as all of the above. You will need to have an IP number allocated to you in the form of [44.131.x.xxx] from your local IP co-ordinator before using the program. You will just need to change G6ACT to your own callsign and [44.131.2.38] to your IP address. You will also need a HOSTS.NET file which you should enquire locally for. Also included on disk is the gulam shell and the BM Mailer which are used in conjunction with the program. A hard drive is recommend but not essential. Net requires a TNC which operates in KISS mode. This is the nearest Amateur Radio implementation of Internet there is and is highly recommended. CLIPIT VOL8 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format. Files are BOXING, FENCING, HORSE, MUSCLE01, MUSCLE02, MUSCLE03, START, STONEAGE, WATERSKI, WEIGHTS1, WEIGHTS2, WEIGHTS3. THE VODKA DEMO by Equinox - Fly your spacecraft around the landscape. Each demo is named so you fire at the name to enter the demo. I found 10 sub demos but you may find more! STE ONLY. COLOUR CLASH by Animalsoft - A puzzle game with a platform element involved. You play the part of a lizard character who must eat flies. Collecting coloured icons during the game allows you to change colour. Each colour has special skills, all of which are needed if you wish to make it very far into the game. TYRANEE - A SEUCK game where you control an aircraft flying over enemy terrain. The enemy come thick and fast and your reactions need to be quick if you are to survive for any length of time. WARPON - Another SEUCK game, this time set in Space. You must guide your ship to safety by destroying all the enemy crafts before they get you! AVANT VECTOR - A useable demo from System Solutions. Everything is fully functional in this vector graphics package except the saving and printing. Mono only, needs 1 Meg. HOME ACCOUNTS 2 - A useable demo of this popular package from Digita International with the save function disabled. Colour or mono. MASTER TIME - The demo of the educational program by B.Bytes. Features 5 games based around learning to tell the time. No user interaction. Colour only. PERSONAL DATABASE PLUS - A useable demo of an excellent database from Bay Computers. Save is disabled in this version. Mono or colour. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 16 - A 256 colour animation created on the PC. CHAN 5.1 - This is one of the largest animations we have. It is supplied as a self-extracting archive and requires 4 Meg plus a hard drive. It occupies of 2 Meg of disk space and only just runs on a 4 Meg machine. The number 5 is displayed in a similar manner to our Channel 4 logo. It then explodes into a couple of animated displays and reconstitutes itself. TeX On The ST . This is a typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. STOSSER DOCUMENT DISPLAYER by Tony Greenwood - A nice easy to use displayer program for text files. It is graphically based and has all the usual features with a few extras thrown in. One of these is the ability to display the text in three different sizes. Printing of the currently displayed screen or the entire document is also possible. This latest version also supports the use of pictures within the text. THE WINNERS ENCLOSURE v2.4 by J S Cowper - A Shareware horse racing prediction program. It predicts the winners of races from its own internal data. Registered users get a copy of the exhaustive database containing details on top horses, trainers and jockeys and the ability to update it, along with a number of other features including advice on how much to bet on individual horses. Don't expect to become a millionaire, but it's worth a try! VIEWFONT - Allows you to load and display a GDOS font without having to load GDOS first. The executable allows you to load and display your chosen font and the C source allows you to use GDOS fonts within your own programs. LABEL PRINTER V1.0 by Charles McLaughlin - A nice easy to use graphically based label printing program. It is designed for printing one off address labels rather than disk labels. You can use sprocket fed labels with more than one label across and specify which label position you wish to print in, so as to avoid waste. A simple yet effective program which may well be all you need for printing one off labels. This Shareware version allows you to input your data into the database and save it but will not let you print out until you register. PDP_LP by Charles McLaughlin - Converts data files created using Personal Database Plus into the format required by Label Printer (on this disk). All programs on this disk are colour only except for The Winners Enclosure and Viewfont, both of which run in colour or mono. THE BOMB OUT BROS DISK NO 1 - The Bomb Out Bros are a new group dedicated to giving us good Pubic Domain software. This first disk contains three games MAD MOLE, LASER RACE and ALIEN BLOCKADE. Mad Mole is a Boulderdash clone where you collect diamonds etc. Laser Race is based on the Tron Game & Alien Blockade will be familiar to fans of the arcade game QIX. FUJIRAY - A light sourced ray traced animation in True Colour. A number of objects including the Atari logo are on a table. Several of these objects are rotating with light and shadows following them. A great demo which needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. KUGEL - A semi-transparent 3D globe made up from thousands of dots rotates through all three axis in real time using the DSP. Both demos do NOT run on VGA monitors. BRAIN_LR - Designed to analyse the functionality of the left and right sides of your brain. You are presented with 30 multiple choice questions designed to gauge how you think about things. It may turn out that you use one side of your brain much more than the other. In fact you may be surprised at just how little of your brain potential you are using! Full GFA source included. DEEP THOUGHTS V1.0 by MUG UK - This program does nothing more than select a random quote, sometimes thought provoking, often witty, even weird! Put it in an Auto folder and be greeted by a 'thought for the day' each time you reboot! FONTKILL by David Troy - When Pagestream exports a document in Postscript format, it embeds copies all the Postscript type 1 fonts into the file. At the bureau, they usually have to spend time removing these before they start work. What this program does is to let you remove Type 1 fonts from the document, resulting in smaller files and smaller time charges from the bureau. Needs 2 Meg. FONTSWAP 2 by David Becker - Allows you to subsitute the fonts used in a Postscript document with any others of your choice. This is particularly useful if someone gives you a document which uses fonts that you don't have. Some files will be ready to print, others will need to be tidied up in your DTP package. Regardless, this program will allow you make use of the documents. Mono Only. SPEED DVS by Thierry Rodolfo - SpeedoGDOS printer drivers for the HP Deskjet 550C and Epson models LX800, LQ500, LQ800, LQ850, LQ1000, LQ1050. These have been tested with Atari Works but should work equally well with other SpeedoGDOS based applications. CALAMUS SUPPORT DISKS 6 & 7. ADEQUATE SYSTEMS MODULES - A collection of (mostly) demo add on modules for use with the 1993 release of Calamus SL. They only work with that version of SL. If you own the 1994 version, you need the corresponding modules on S-UTL.5914 & S- UTL.5915. All modules are in German but we've done a RUF translation of what little docs there are. Most docs are supplied as (German) HLP files for use with Calamus's on-line hypertext Help module which is included with the demo version of SL. Most are full implementations apart from the fact that they print the Adequate Systems logo over your page. Some have different/other restrictions. The full versions of these modules may be ordered from Image Applications (the new distributors of Calamus in the UK). EDDIE - A demo version of a text editor which can be used to replace PKSWrite. The interface is rather strange at first but don't let that put you off. It's just brimming with features. With the demo version you can edit text and try out the features but you can't place the text back into the document. EDDIE.FNT - The Eddie text editor can use different fonts. This font is an alternative to the one supplied with the demo. FILTER - This module adds basic image processing features to Calamus by way of external filters (9 are supplied). It's difficult to know what the individual filters do and what restrictions apply but it should be fun to play around with them! HIGHRES - Lets you resize bitmapped graphics to any resolution. The main purpose of this is to optimise the graphic for printer output. Highres scores in that it enhances the graphic (as far as is possible) to compensate for the higher resolution and avoid the usual blocky result when the frame size is maintained but the resolution increased. Also features an improved version of the print dialog which supports background printing amongst other things. MERGE - Allows you to create various effects with text frames by applying colour in a number of unique ways. A little difficult trying to work out what you're doing without a good English-German dictionary! PAINT - You can set any colour to be transparent, clone areas on an image, change the density of any colour or apply watercolour, oil paint or fade out effects to your image. SUCH_SET - Various Search & Replace extensions, presumably for use with the Eddie text editor. TIFF DEMO - A TIFF printer driver which lets you export your page in monochrome or colour as a TIFF image. It also lets you specify the compression method used, whether to output in RGB or CMYK and much more. PATCHES - Five Freeware and Shareware utilities for enhancing the use of the 1993 and 1994 releases of Calamus SL. Unlike the other files on the disk, these are not mere demos. CALAPAT2 - Fixes a bug which meant the CTRL, SHIFT and ALT were ignored if text was input too fast (eg; at the speed of a typist). FPU_SL - Patches SL to run under MagiCMac on PCI based PowerMacs. FORM_PAT - Fixes a bug which resulted in Calamus incorrectly rounding down the dimensions of some paper sizes. RELOPAT - Fixes bugs which caused Calamus to crash when running under MagiCMac on a 68040 machine with the Copy Back cache switched on. BOMBADIL - Fixes various bugs in both the 1993 and 1994 releases of SL. These include bugs transferring to/from the clipboard, incorrect conversion of v1.09 documents, the intercepting document structure errors, stabilising use under MagiC/MagiCMac and a few other more obscure bugs. THE AUTOMOBILE COLLECTION DISK 4 - A collection of 20 True Colour pictures in JPEG format of exotic cars and vintage cars and trucks. Files are CHEV32 CWAYBENZ EXCALI FERRF40 GALCAR6 GALCAR8 GALCAR9 GALCAR10 GALCAR11 GALCAR12 GALCAR17 GALCAR18 GALCAR22 GALCAR25 GALTRK01 GALTRK02 GALTRK03 GALTRK04 GALTRK05 GALTRK06. EARLY LEARNING MATHS 1 by Philip Rankin - Early Learning Maths is a program designed to assist children learn the basic principles of mathematics. It aims to build on and enhance their abilities in subjects such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, shape recognition, sequencing, logic and relations, all of which are integral parts of the National Curriculum for Mathematics. The target group for the program are primary school children (5 to 8 year olds). Early Learning Maths consists of twelve games, each of which aims to teach or reinforce at least one, and occasionally more than one, of the above subjects. Early Learning Maths features the popular characters Dizzy Lizzy and The Meanie by The Happening Boiz. Highly recommended. EARLY LEARNING MATHS 2 by Philip Rankin - Following their escapades in Early Learning Maths 1, Dizzy Lizzy and The Meanie decided that they both needed a holiday. Unfortunately, they both decided to visit the same place, a small island off the west coast of Africa. So, here they both are, on a small island. An island so small that it only has a single town, a single factory and two beaches. Now Dizzy Lizzy and The Meanie do not like each other, in fact they are dire enemies, and on this island they can't get away from each other. Time for World War III. Early Learning Maths 2 is based around the conflicts between Dizzy Lizzy and The Meanie. Throughout the program the user has to help Dizzy Lizzy to escape from or defeat The Meanie in a variety of settings, by answering mathematical questions. This package features long addition, long substraction, long multiplication and long division. Well written and highly recommended. Formerly part of the BUDGIE UK range. ELECTRONIC JIGSAW PUZZLE - Load up a Degas, Neo or Tiny format picture (several supplied on disk). The program jumbles up the picture into 32 blocks. Click on the blocks you want to swap and they will swap with one another. You are told how long you took to complete the puzzle and how many moves you used up. You can view the picture at any time. The program also supports colour cycling. TREASURE SEARCH by Peter Hickman - You are presented with a map on a grid and must locate the buried treasure. Features digitised loading music, sampled speech and excellent graphics. 3N5 by Nebula Entertainment - A demo of the well known version of dominoes where you must place your dominoes so as to make the two open ends add up to a multiple of either three or five. Points are awarded depending upon your success, you need 41 points to win the game. Control is by mouse and the game is extremely user friendly. A very good implementation of a simple yet addictive game. BATSUB - Using just the joystick you must control the movements of a submarine and launch torpedoes to destroy ships on the surface. However, your enemies try to halt your progress by dropping depth charges on you, fish also pose hazards underwater. Take to much damage and you're history. DOMINOES by Nebula Entertainment - A demo of the more traditional game of dominoes. Control is simple, move the mouse pointer and click. Assuming your move is legal, your chosen domino is placed. View each end of the growing chain of dominoes to decide where to place your next tile. This demo is merely a best out of three game, register to get a fuller version containing opponents of varying difficulties. ISHIDO - A puzzle game played on a 12x8 board using 72 pieces of differing colours and symbols. The aim of the game is to get as many pieces onto the playing board as possible whilst following certain rules about how the pieces must be played. It requires a lot of logical thought. Mono only. MOLECULE - Discover the places occupied by atoms on a board by firing laser rays at the board. Depending on what happens to the ray, reflected, deviated or absorbed, you should be able to work out the positions of the atoms. It's not as easy as it sounds. GNU C v2.42 - Yet another Shareware C compiler from The States. Full installation instructions (hard drive preferred) are included as is the latest version of the popular command shell Gulaam. GNU C will run on 1 Meg (just!) but is more comfortable in 2 Meg or more. Multi-TOS compatible. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 17 September 1995 - As usual, there's a vast amount of knowledge, help and advice within the confines of this excellent disk mag for 3D Construction Kit owners. This issue is especially aimed at the beginners using Kit1, but there are still plenty of Kit2 goodies on the disk. Contents include a huge file on the use of variables and explains how they work, there is a profile of the editor, Tony Hartley, plenty of OBJects, SAMples, Borders, Routines and Tutorials, all of which are well documented. In addition, the regulars continue with Letters, News, PD List, Pen Pals, Quiz, Swap Shop and Talk Back. Reviews include LINDUM COLONIA, a DEMO by Nigel Alefounder, plus much more. If you use either of the 3D Construction Kits, whether a beginner or advanced user, then this disk will be of great value to you. PICCOLO V1.00 by Frederic Bayle - A cut down version of Parx's D2M which is designed to demonstrate the use of their M&E modular system. It lacks a decent set of tools but does load and save in a variety of formats using the Parx M&E modules. A small selection of these modules are supplied and a fuller distribution version of them is available on ART.5895. Using the M&E modules you can input images directly from Vidi-ST, select from a variety of colour reduction methods to obtain best results, and apply various effects to your images. With the full version of the M&E modules, the functionality of this package is further extended. KAOSDesk - A replacement for the GEM Desktop. This program has many of the best features of NEODesk and Gemini. It is invaluable if you have a hard disk and desireable if you don't. In my opinion, KAOSDesk has all the best features of TOS v2 upwards and more! I can't recommend this program highly enough. Programs and documents translated by Bob MacLeod for Floppyshop. Mostly utilities from Double Click Software. DC_Right_DC - Makes one click with the right button emulate a double click with the left. DC_Dir_Dump - Does a directory listing to screen, printer or disk. If you have DC_Desktop (that you have to buy) it can be installed permanently and called by a function key. DC_Popbar - An accessory which allows you to click anywhere on the Desktop and a menu with the 'top line' Desktop options will appear under the arrow. DC_Bitset - Sets the archive bit correctly for new and modified files under TOS 1.0 and 1.2 only. DC_FLPCFG - Allows you to logically add or remove floppy drives from your system.

All tutorials are well documented and easy to follow. There are lots of KIT1 and KIT2 data and area files, objects, borders, brushes, routines and appropriate documents to accompany them. If that's not enough, you also get the usual Kit News, Letters, PD List and lots of help and advice. There's a profile of Mandy of the Mandylogue, and much more besides. As usual, an excellent source of information for 3D kit users everywhere. XW PUZZLE v1.01 by Jeffery Heywood - This program enables a design for a crossword puzzle to be drawn up quickly and then it automatically finds words that will fit into the pattern of the grid designed.

The title screen stays on for a while so don't think the game has crashed! You are a ball on what looks like a racetrack and you get a bird's eye view of the racetrack. Move around, dodging other balls and collecting treasure. The treasure is off the main racetrack and you are safe while you stay off the track. Collect all the treasure and proceed to the exit. Eleven tough levels to complete. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 11 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are BLOOOD, FM_PART1, PIRACY, SHORTLOD, WONDER, ZOOPHYTE.

BRINDLEBEAST VIDEO CATALOGUE V1.2 - A dedicated video database from New Zealand with short reviews of over 600 films to suit all tastes. They are listed alphabetically and are therefore easily located. If your favourite film is not reviewed, then write your own review and include it in the database. Full instruction on how to do this are given in the NOTES file. Well worth getting hold of if you regularly hire out videos or are a regular cinema-goer. VGA SIMU v1.05 - A VGA emulator for a TT with a TTM195 high resolution mono monitor. The TT requires a special monitor (the TTM195) in order to use TT high resolution (1280x960) but that monitor cannot be used to display the TT's other resolutions. In order to do this, you would normally require a VGA monitor. This program allows the TTM195 monitor to run in all resolutions, operating as a greyscale monitor in the colour modes.

In fact there is a choice of two games which use the same basic theme. In game one, you use the joystick to catch as many falling objects as you can as they descend down the screen. Assuming you don't miss too many, you progress to the next level. There are 25 levels in all. In game two you choose how many objects you are allowed to miss, then you must achieve this target to succeed. NISHIRAN - A massive role playing game which runs on the ST/e TT Falcon and PC yes the PC executables are included on disk too .

Within your multi-purpose vehicle is a chemical laboratory where you can mix together various concoctions to replenish your battery power and manufacture your own weapons. Nishiran follows the well loved Dungeon Master idea whilst remaining for the most part original in its implementation of the theme. For those who find it just too tough there s a complete solution to level one. After that you re on your own Dual language English and French.

THE POKER MACHINE V1.0 by Thomas Salin - The best ever computer implementation of the card game Poker. It comes complete with stereo soundtrack and effects throughout. You start off with 10 credits and place a bet of 1 to 5 credits per deal (can be changed between deals). Assuming you get three (or more) of a kind , two pairs or a flush, you gain points which vary dependent on your chosen stake. Each time you achieve a score, you get the chance to gamble your winnings, double or nothing. If you achieve a high enough score you get to "buy stuff". This allows you to gain access to an encrypted archive of the author's other programs! Each program has a "price" tag in points. Assuming you achieve a high enough score, you can even purchase the program which creates the archive and pass on your own software to your friends as "prizes" for achieving high scores in TPM. You are given 10 accounts, each with 10 credits. Different players can use different accounts and you can abort a game at any point, saving your account credits for later use. This lets you build up enough points to buy stuff over a period of time. The Poker Machine needs 2Mb of RAM and almost 3Mb of hard drive space. STE ONLY.

Perhaps the most impressive of all is its glass polygons transparent 3D objects which give the same distorted visual effect as a magnifying glass as they pass over the background image. Other features include several raytraced screens a 3D fractal graphics type effect and the rotating and scaling of 3D polygons including that of a human head in real time. If that s not enough there s a pixel stretching morphing style effect and a new effect which resembles a sort of underwater rippling action.

Demos include a tracker screen, a demo based around the Rainbow star, Zippy and a collection of mandlebrots. Other screens have lots of scrollers, music and graphic effects and all are coded in 100% STOS. A great example of what you can do with STOS if you really put your mind to it. HEWLETT PACKARD DESKJET/LASERJET SUPPORT DISK 3 - Yet another collection of useful programs which help you get the best out of your HP printer. DJSCRFIX - An ACC which fixes the problem of one mouse click being interpreted as two when clicking onto scroll bars with TOS 1.4 or later. In addition, it allows you to initialise a Deskjet printer switched on after your ST. Assembler source included. JETLOPE 2 v2.2 by Barney Poston - Our first program for the HP Deskjet 510 and 520! It lets you print envelopes (either individually, from an ASCII list or from data stored in the GEM clipboard) and lets you access the internal fonts built into these printers. The envelope sizes catered for are #10 commercial and European DL. Lots of features are built into this program including a name and address database. JETLOPE 2 V1.3 by Barney Poston - Exactly the same as above except that this version runs on the HP Deskjet 500, rather than the 510 and 520. DESK500 V1.10 - A CPX which allows you to select which of the seven fonts and six character sets you wish to use. Other things such as text scale mode, point size, print quality and landscape or portrait output can also be set. Your chosen settings can be saved for future use. DCJDUMP V2 - Allows you to perform a screendump from the GEM Desktop or within any GEM program in colour or mono to a Deskjet 500C. You can also select to dump only the contents of the active window to the printer rather than the entire display. It now supports almost any resolution and is TT and Falcon compatible. Also included is a program and CPX to allow you to switch on the Deskjet after the ST has booted up. HP COPY - Allows you to perform a screendump to any HP Laserjet or Deskjet from ST or TT high resolution (using the ALT+HELP key combination). You can select the printer resolution (75dpi to 300 dpi), print in landscape or portrait and much more. HP Copy doesn't care if the printer was switched on after the ST and it uses data compression to speed up printout. It also supports several mono picture formats but there's very little by way of docs and those which are supplied are German, so this could take a bit of figuring out! DRIVERS - A selection of printer drivers for First Word, Adimens, Arabesque, Calamus, Campus CAD, Technobox Drafter, Daily Mail?, GDOS, GFA Draft Plus, Idealist, Megapaint, Publishing Partner, Script, Signum 2, STAD, Tempus, Tempus Word and TEX. Arabesque - Usable demo of a mono art package. I can't say how useable it is as the documentation for it is in German. Looks extensive. Needs 1 Meg. ATARI TIMES #14 - Colin and friends return with another issue of the popular diskmag, their second birthday issue. The news section features the latest on the forthcoming Atari Computing Convention, two new Electronic Cow music products, Easy Text Pro/Pro Vector re-released with lots of affordable upgrade deals, a Falcon specific CD from Floppyshop, a host of new products (the 68040 Milan at £559!, CD writers, scanners, monitors and more) from Titan Designs, updates to Mymail, Draconis Internet Package and CAB.OVL. Reviews are of KELAUG issues 6-8, Lords of Chaos, Portfolio Times issues 1 & 2, ST+ Fanzine issue 29 and several Atari based Internet sites. Other features include a further installment of HTML Made EZ, an interview with David Encil, an introduction to IRC, an excellent piece on email etiquette by Tony Greenwood, the Atari Magazine Directory, which lists contact details for all known Atari magazines (disk and paper based) worldwide and a lively letters page. Another great issue. Atari Times is written in HTML which means you'll need a Web browser such as CAB (on DMG.5556) in order to read it. NOSTALGIA V0.50 by Philippe Gerin - A Freeware ST emulator for the Apple Macintosh. For all intents and purposes NoSTalgia is the Macintosh version of PacifiST FALC.6049 . It allows you to run most Atari programs on a Mac even those which break the rules of clean programming. Like PacifiST it is highly compatible with games and demos using disk images rather than giving direct access to the Mac s disk drives. Its limitations is speed and the fact that you cannot access data on disk images which use extended eg 82 10 formats. MagiCMac beats NoSTalgia about fivefold on speed and has the ability to access the Mac s hardware but NoSTalgia runs much of the software that trips up MagiCMac. It runs at about half the speed of an ST on a 75Mhz 601 processor full speed on faster processors. It cannot read ST disks the data must be transferred to PC formatted disks can be created on any Falcon or using your Mac and converted into a disk image using DUST see below . You will need a copy of your ST s TOS ROM in order to use NoSTalgia and an ST program which dumps it to disk is included. NoSTalgia supports TOS 1.0 1.2 and 1.4 and allows you to swap between these easily if you have the required TOS images . It supports all three ST screen resolutions emulates joysticks and has full sound not DMA based stereo support. This latest version lets you create a 20Mb hard drive but you still have the problem of getting your data across to the Mac. DUST V1.02 by Marcus Phillips - Reads a PC formatted 720K disk and converts it into a disk image suitable for use with NoSTalgia. It also converts disk images created with the Atari program MSA II into the required format. Minimum requirements for NoSTalgia are a Power Macintosh with 4.5Mb of free RAM. Also you must have PC Exchange installed or you will be unable to read this disk or transfer the TOS grabber program/TOS image between your ST and Mac. Please note this disk cannot be used on an Atari computer. It is only of use if you wish to emulate an ST on a PowerMac. The Vegetables Mega Demo - This demo was created by a French Amiga crew. The graphics are incredible. There are 7 sub demos, one of which boasts 4096 colours and even gives the Amiga's interlace flicker on sceen! select from one of three tunes on the main menu. Play It - Lets you load up and play sampled sounds. Files on disk are STOPIT, STRENGTH, AUTOPIL, AWASTING, AMISS, ANSWER, APPLAUSE and CRICKET. Desktop Music - Choice of 9 great songs that you can have playing in the background. Make Music - Simple program which lets you create your own pieces of music. . PAINTER v4.28 - One of the best mono art package for the ST. It is so well written that it beats most commercial packages! A host of features including its own font editor along with some sample fills, fonts and pictures. The TBE Stereo Music Demo - Six top quality tunes and pictures which play in stereo (the tunes , not the pictures!) if you have a Monster Stereo Cartridge. 46 CALAMUS FONTS - Fonts are GALLEDIS KABEL KABELBLD KABELDEM KABELMED KATHLITA LASRLOND LEFTYCAS LIBBYSCR LOOPDELO LOWWESTS LUMPASKY MAIDSSCR MIAMINIT MURIEL NEWGARET NORDIC OSWALDBK OSWDGREY PCMIRA PIXIE2 POLO-SEM STIMIELT TIFRNUMB TIFRNUMC TIMMIROR ARCHITEC BLACKFST CARTWRIT CGTMBDI CGTMBOLD CGTMRE CGTMREI FNCYCHAN ISABELLA MINI_6 QUILL TRIUMBDC TRIUMBDX TRIUMBLD TRIUMHVY TRIUMLT TRIUMLTX TRIUMREG TRIUMREX ZAPFCHAN. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program. Files are NIGHT, POPPED, ROTODEMO, STAR. GEMVIEW V3.16 - This program allows you to view almost any picture format from almost any computer in almost any resolution on any Atari 16-bit or 32-bit machine! The picture is displayed in a GEM window and the scroll bars can be used to view areas not displayed on screen, where the resolution of the picture exceeds that of your monitor. Pictures with more colours than can be displayed in the current resolution go through a colour reduction and dithering process so that the picture can be viewed. You can currently display any picture in the following formats:- GIF, SUN, B&W, PAC, IFF, BMP, RLE, IMG (including colour), GEM, NEO, ART, DEGAS, TINY, DOO, SPU, SPC, XBM, PBM, PGM, PPM, MAC, TGA, TIFF, RSC, PCX, VIDAS, APPLE II, Mac Sartup Screen, Megapaint, CRG, Apple Imagewriter, MGF, Monostar, Printfox, Pagefox, Thunderscan, Inshape, STraight Fax, R24, QFax/Coma-Fax, XGA, PhotoCD and JPEG. Pictures can be resized and resaved in IMG, ESM, IFF, BMP, GIF, TIFF, TGA, MGF, Inshape, STraight Fax, R24, QFax/Coma-Fax or JPEG formats. This latest version is fully Multi-TOS compatible and Falcon enhanced. Latest features include colour scale adjust, colour dithering algorythms for 4, 8, 16, 64 and 256 colours, compatibility with most colour graphic cards and the ability to convert a GEM metafile into a raster graphic. Gemview can also display ASCII files and do a hex dump of any file. Also included is Gemshow, which can be installed as a file viewer under Multi-TOS and communicate with Gemview. Floppyshop are the only company permitted to distribute GEM-View versions 3.0 and above in the UK. This is a Shareware product which only remains functional for 30 days after installation. Full details on how to register in the UK are contained on the disk. v2.04 - Loads various picture formats like Degas, Tiny, Neo, Doodle etc; and converts it to Degas PI? and prints them to an Epson or compatible printer. Full documentation on disk. BIOMORPH - This program displays 6 fractal patterns and by pressing keys 1 to 6 the user selects the best shape. This is then replicated 5 times with slight variations. JP-ART - Uses two parameters to produce nice patterns in 16 colours. You can save the image in Degas format. Not TOS 1.4 or STE. SPR_DES - A sprite editor written in GFA Basic by Robert Warnestam. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. BLUDGEON by The Seaton Shareware Cooperative - This is an adventure gaming system designed to be used either by group of game players involved in multi-player games or to play solo adventures. Register with the authors to find out more details. One solo adventure is provided on disk. It is called 'The Princess' and involves you and your selected party of accomplices attempting to rescue a kidnapped princess from the clutches of an evil wizard. Needs 1 Meg. INV_PAIN - Two games from Sinister Software. The first is a version of the classic space invaders game known to just about anyone who has ever played a computer game and this is a very good implementation it is. The second game is called Painter and you guide your character, who looks like a little white blob, around a grid. As you pass over the grid it changes colour. The idea is to enclosing all the rectangles within the grid. However, baddies try to stop your progress. It's not as easy as it sounds. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts to some of William Shakespeare's histories and tragedies. This disk contains Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolan, Hamlet and King John. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 .

FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 48 - Three more FLI type animations probably created using Apex Media as they are True colour rather than 256 colour . BENZINDY - Watch a classic Bentley morph into a racing car. DATELINE - Designed as an advert for an Atari based BBS this one features an ST monitor and disk drive with the famous screaming mouse animation incorporated into it. ROT_FUJI - A glass 3D Atari logo rotating over and reflecting into a marble slab. Excellent quality animation. PAGESTREAM 2.1 DEMO - An excellent demo of Soft Logik's best selling DTP package.

The Pagestream fonts and sample pages from our Pagestream support disks will load into it and give you an idea of what the package is capable of. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are FLOWER33 to FLOWER49. BOBTRACKER v 1.0 By Neil Stewart - An advanced Shareware MOD player which features 50 kHz 16-bit stereo sound and many other functions not all of which are available until you register . Some of its many and varied features include bass treble volume and balance control support for 4 6 and 8 track MODs Spectrum Analyser and Oscilloscope display and the ability to play predefined lists of MODs or select MODs randomly. Bobtracker runs as a PRG or ACC and is MultiTOS compatible. CD PLAYER V1.4 by Alexander Clauss - Allows you to play audio CDs on a CD ROM drive. It looks like the control panel of a conventional CD player and allows you to play individual tracks repeat tracks shuffle them etc. As well as a full display of track number time etc CD Player also has a built-in Database where you can add info such as song title and artist for each title. CD Player is Multi-TOS compatible but requires MetaDOS and a MetaDOS audio driver. CPU MOD by Patrick Ruiz - A MOD player which includes an ACC/PRG/GTP version a TTP which can be installed to make MODs double-clickable a routine which you can use in your own programs and assembler source. MODs can be played at several different frequencies and can be searched through useful for moving to individual songs in game MODs . They can be replayed in mono or stereo in 8-bit or 16-bit mode and can be set to repeat if required. You can even speed them up until they are completely unrecognisable MODEST V1.1 by Great Dane Software - This program is intended to be used as a database for keeping track of all those MOD files. It reads in a directory of MODs and creates a listing of their filenames the songs contained within each MOD the composer s name and the file size. If it stopped there it would be little more than a database come disk cataloguing program. Where Modest really scores is that it can analyse all new MODs against the details already on file and help eliminate duplicates which would otherwise be missed because the filenames have been changed. You can analyse and store data on all the common MOD variations. Several MOD types can also be played by Modest in the full version. This Shareware demo is fully functional except that it does not play MODs nor does it allow you to output your data to disk or printer. Register for the full version. NTK4_MOD v1.5 - One of the best MOD players around from the point of view of sound quality . You can drop MODs onto it enter the MOD name into the TTP command line or install NTK4_MOD as an application from the Desktop. Using the last option you can double-click a MOD to launch the program. Once you have set the various options to suit you can quit back to the Desktop leaving the MOD playing in the background under interrupt. NTK4_MOD uses the DSP so it does not cause any sort of conflict with your favourite applications. SWAV V0.2 by Christophe Bartholme - Plays 8-bit or 16-bit WAV samples up to to 50khz via the DMA. It can be installed as an application so that WAV files can be double-clicked or you can run it as a TTP or from a CLI giving it various parameters. Probably even more useful is its ability to be executed from an Auto folder as it can randomly select a WAV file which will be played at bootup. MIDIAN v1.01 by Alexander Weis - A program for managing displaying and analysing Midi data of all kinds. It is also a bank loader sample loader MIDI monitor data converter and more. The bank loader can send receive and store MIDI data and writes it out in SMF Steinberg Satellite or Midian formats. The sample loader stores samples using the MIDI sample dump standard. Midian displays a comprehensive analysis of files when they are loaded. It can import data in Sounddesigner or Avalon formats and export in Avalon format. Multi-TOS compatible. ANOTHER CD-PLAYER ACDP V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD driver for use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with FALCON_BOS. ACDP has many functions which include playing the audio tracks reading the actual table of contents of the CD stopping the song changing to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC. DIRTY SOUND STUDIO V1.01B by Trisomic Development - A direct to disk recording package which supports 6 tracks at 33 Mhz or 4 tracks at 50 Mhz in 16-bit stereo. It s all very well presented but unfortunately both program and docs are in French. Would anyone like to translate. NATIONAL LOTTERY SIMULATOR PLUS by Colin Ballantyne - This is a lottery program with a difference. It doesn t go for mind-blowing methods of prediction or analysis of past results. So what does it do It does what the name suggests it is a simulation of the actual draw itselFALC. Enjoy the introduction music to the show the build-up to the draw and then the nerve- racking draw itself all performed accurately and with the full atmosphere of the real thing. This latest revision sees the graphics revamped to match those on the TV show more accurately. It has lots of other extras such as the ability to pick the lottery machine and ball set different ball sets equate to different randomising algorithms some of which are really wierd . There are other new features like selection time selection interval print numbers draw bonus quick draw and quick multidraw. What s more the music and speech are not borrowed from the show either they are reproduced by Glasgow music students A real fun way of picking those elusive numbers. There s even a cheat s mode so that you can dupe your friends into thinking you ve won VT102 TELNET V2.00 by Prof Boris Cahan - A VT102 compliant Telnet client for use with STiK and GlueSTiK. Telnet is a method by which you can log in to and communicate with remote computers on the Internet. This program's main claim to fame is by offering VT102 emulation rather than the more usual VT52 as included in Jim Baumgardner's Telnet program. You have an almost complete VT102 emulation with the exception of blinking characters and Tek 404 emulation (which are not supported). This is a multi-tasking friendly GEM program, making it very easy to get to grips with. It can also be used as the default Telnet program within CAB. Terminal size and point size can be configured to suit. The program uses its own fonts in order to create the necessary VT102 characters. The only restriction this places on you is that you must have (Speedo)GDOS or NVDI loaded, otherwise the program will not run. Needs 1 Mb.

LOTUS by Nature - A very early version of a Lotus-type car racing game. All you get is a fast moving texture-mapped track with the ability to alter the viewing angle. Having said that if the game ever appears it could be very interesting if the texture mapping s anything to go by. VGA Only. MADVGA - Fast moving dot patterns are all you get in this tiny demo.

The tunes allow you to get in the mood for that big match that you're just going to sit down in front of the box to watch. The music is very good and there are several tracks to choose from.

The software and the docs for the software are in both English and German, although the docs on the hardware are all in German (although we've done a RUF translation). ET4000 cards are available cheaply nowadays and the Shareware fee is modest. Your main cost will be in terms of time. Please do NOT undertake this project unless you are knowledgeable in electronics.

M&E MODULES (24/11/97) by Parx - An impressive collection of graphics based modules created by Parx, a French company responsible for a number of Atari based products. These must be installed prior to use and are common to all applications (eg; BV4, Piccolo, D2M, Diapo etc), using M&E modules, so you need only have one set of modules installed on your system. They handle graphic cards, memory management, intelligent colour reduction, generation of textures, support for GDOS/NVDI printing, the loading of over 40 and saving of over 30 different file types (all common Atari formats as well as Photo CD, TIFF, GIF etc) and digitising directly into any supporting program using Vidi ST and others. There's even a module which lets you output photographic quality images to the Fargo FotoFun. M&E modules (and programs which use them) are most usable if you have two floppy drives or a hard drive. It will not be possible to install all the modules on this disk onto a single drive (there's simply not enough space!). This disk is necessary if you intend to use BV4 or Diapo and desirable if you use any other M&E based product as it contains a more complete set of modules than most software producers package with their goods. THE ATARI COMPENDIUM ST-GUIDE HYPERTEXT by JaySoft - An ST-Guide front end to the popular Atari Compendium CD-ROM. The Atari Compendium has its index presented in HTML format ordinarily, but this package offers the now standard ST-Guide as an alternative front end. Please note this disk is of no use to you unless you own a copy of the Atari Compendium CD-ROM. Also, it needs to be run from a hard drive and requires at least 2Mb of RAM.

Surely the largest available on the ST. In ASCII format so you can incorporate it into the dictionary files that come with most word processors. Be warned, the ASCII listing is over 700k, so you"ll need at least 1 Meg to use the dictionary and probably more if your spelling checker can be loaded with your word processor (as in First Word Plus). A GFA Basic source listing is included which lets you view the dictionary on screen. ARROW 24 V1.1 - An excellent GEM based modelling and raytacing package. It allows you to create your own 3D models on screen, then turn them into 24-bit True Colour ray tracings.

The program uses 16 Mandlebrot fractal pictures which are colour modulated by the internal clock or external MIDI hardware. You need a hardware sequencer (i.e. a workstation or drum machine) to make use of the MIDI function. Most features are disabled, although there is some room to experiment. Psycho-Fractal does not need a Midi keyboard to be attached in order to run. However, if one is attached, it must have a built- in sequencer, otherwise the program tends to crash!

FICTION BIGCHIP CYBORG SNOWWALK ST36 SUPER_VA. Viewer supplied. NO!DESK V3.04 by no!Software - An innovative Shareware replacement Desktop from one of Germany's leading Atari developers. No!Desk goes further than most products of this type (eg; icons on the Desktop, jazzed up interface, file aliases etc) with everything being fully customisable to your own preference. It can even be used in conjunction with MagiC, Multi-TOS or Geneva to provide a fully multi-tasking compatible interface for those systems. No!Desk can be operate (if required) as a multi-user system and includes built-in multi-user management and password protection for use with such systems. It makes use of a modern 3D interface and shared libraries to reduce memory overhead when running programs which are no!System (included with the package) aware. Unlike other replacement Desktops, No!Desk is object orientated and you yourself can define the rules as to what action is performed when any two objects interact. Better still, why not have a pop-up menu to give you a choice of different actions? There's even a CLI window so that you can use No!Desk's built-in programming language directly from within the system. Also of note is the fact that No!Desk has its own archiver drivers (view or extract contents of LZH and ZOO archives by double-clicking them), graphic drivers (view IMG, IFF, CRG, PBM, PI1, TPI and other formats by double-clicking them) and scripting language (so that you can automate routine tasks). A very highly polished Shareware product. Now in English. Needs 1 Mb and a hard drive. The Double Doozers Demo by CHAOS of Manchester Smugly - Move your robot around and press Space to enter each of the seven sub demos. No new tricks but nicely presented. Press Reset for the reset demo! GEM MICRO EMACS V3.11C - At last a GEM based, Multi-TOS compatible version of the popular programmers" editor! Micro Emacs has been around longer than Atari but this is a worthy upgrade. It retains all the keyboard commands and its own command language but has added mouse support and windows for ease of use. Alternative fonts may be used if you have GDOS installed. This latest version allows the editing of multiple documents in different windows along with the cutting and pasting between these windows. Many standard word processing features have been incorporated into what was once no more than a programmer"s tool. TCB Tracker modules disk 6 by Brian Ross . Files are GOIRLE, GUTENTAG, HOWIE, MEGAMIX2, PIANO, REDROSES, SLOWFUNK, SVENOLLE, THEBEACH. CONFIG SL V2.2 by David Cottenceau - Acts as a sort of boot manager for SL as it lets you create several CALAMUS.SET files (each of which may have different modules active) and swap between them. It also links in to CFN View and Pack CDK to let you view fonts or archive fonts or documents, assuming you have these packages installed on your system. Unfortunately program and docs are in French. DOM'S VIEWER V1.00 by Dominique Bereziat - A text file viewer which displays files in a GEM window. It also displays the contents of binary files in hexadecimal. It is ideally suited for use on multi-tasking systems but also works on single TOS. In both cases it can be installed as the default file viewer. If you insert specific codes into your text files, they will be displayed using bold, italic, underlined or coloured text as specified. Docs and program in French, but easy enough to figure out. AUTOMORE by Thomas Binder - An Auto folder management tool. It lets you specify which Auto folder to run (you can have several located anywhere on your hard drive). You can also specify a pause between the running of some/all Auto programs and whether or not the screen should be cleared between programs. Unfortunately the docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation. EXTENDED PALLETE DRIVER V1.0 by Robert Birmingham - Replacement driver for JRI 4096 colour graphic card. This card allows the use of 4096 colours on an ST. The only problem was that many programs were unaware of the larger palette. This driver fixes the problem. Originally written for use with Prism Paint, it patches the system for use with all well-behaved GEM programs running on the JRI card. ALBERTT by J Craswell - An improved ISAC driver for the AlberTT (a graphic card for the TT) which supports 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions. POP2CODES by Chris Brookes - Generates level codes for the game Populous II so you can play the levels in any order. TAB PLOT V2.9 by Robert Best - Converts a table in numerical format (as exported by a spreadsheet for instance) into an XY, RPhi, XYZ or RPhiZ plot. It performs automatic scaling, spline interpolation, curve fitting, hidden surface, contour plot and plot sizing as required. Well documented but complete gobbledegook unless you understand advanced mathematics. CALAMUS SL '96 - The very latest version (Jan '97) of Calamus SL. Like its predecessors this version is fully modular with the user purchasing additional modules if and when required. Calamus SL can create full colour pages and supports colour separation at the printout stage. You can work on up to 7 documents in memory at once and cut and paste data between them. All frame types are cached for greater speed. Features include the ability to create and assign master pages, create and save text style lists, expand compress and skew text, rotate and mirror frames, print parts of pages, define units of measurement for pages, fonts and lines, align frames to other frames and choose from three frame display modes (transparent, opaque and inverse). Although nominally mono only, Calamus SL will run on any ST/STE/TT/Falcon on a resolution of at least 640x400 pixels. This means that it will run with large screen monitors (and virtual screen emulators) in colour. This is a complete implementation of the program with the only restrictions being that you cannot save your work and that a watermark is printed on each page. This latest version is fully MagiCMac compatible, allows text to be scaled to the size of the frame, includes several new graphic import/export modules, includes printer drivers for the HP 660 and Stylus 2, features some improvements to the user interface and includes some new modules. You need to have 2 Mb of memory and a hard drive to run Calamus SL. The more memory and hard drive space, the better. Two disk set, £ 3.00 for set. INFO '89 text files from Usenet - Covers period from 28th Nov 1989 to 7rd Dec 1989. S-FALC.5156 OBNOXIOUS by Inter of Independent - A massive demo which spans over two HD disks. Inter are a new demo crew with six members and the fact that this demo was a team effort shines through as it s one of the best to date. There s lots of new effects as well as a fair few old ones too. It starts off with a wiremesh face rotating and scaling and moves on to others which include a triangular vector tunnel shaded raster bars a solid 3D tunnel vector balls and a mock up Wolfstein 3D scenario with texture mapped walls. Some of the demo s most notable effects are created by distorting pixels within faces to produce animated whirlpool effects. Other similar effects involve two pictures distorting and melting into each other at the same time. A superb effect involves the use of fire in texture mapped walls wireframe objects and in the presentation of the credits. Obnoxious looks more like a video presentation than a computer generated one in places and really has to be seen to be believed. Even the end part is sheer brilliance with a transparent bubble passing over a marbled background leading to 3D stone tablets representing the individual sub-demos. Highly recommended. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. GRAYSCL - This appears to be a grayscale emulator for mono monitors. There are no docs and the program itself is in German! It looks very powerful but finding out how to use it could well be a problem. JPEG v6B - The CJPEG/DJPEG programs on ART.3412 have been updated and a couple of converters for other implementations of GIF and JPEG formats used on the PC have been included. For the unenlightened, JPEG is a type of picture file compression which offers massive savings but suffers from some loss of quality. Example JPEGs are included as well as plenty of docs. ZONK by Dave Henniker - This is a difficult one to describe. To quote the docs, "Zonk makes psychedelic patterns to stare at when you're too zonked for anything else". It can grab screens, play bitmaps over them, freak about with the colours and cycle them, amongst other things. Well documented, from the author of Kozmic on ART.47C. Needs 1 Meg. Grayscl is mono only, Zonk is colour only and JPEG runs in either. TCB Tracker modules disk 17 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are SPEED, GIGAMIX1, NH, RUNNING, TNT2, TSF, AFL, B_MONDAY, DRUM01, GSCTHM15, HYMNTYEL. GNU C v2.42 - Yet another Shareware C compiler from The States. Full installation instructions (hard drive preferred) are included as is the latest version of the popular command shell Gulaam. GNU C will run on 1 Meg (just!) but is more comfortable in 2 Meg or more. Multi-TOS compatible. MAGRATHEA by TSCC - A couple of great intros take you into this MODule compilation. It starts off with a 'flight' across an undulating landscape. From here you get a burning embers effect along with some scrolltext, followed by some information on the forthcoming MODules. Press ESC to choose the module you wish to listen to. The choices are CHEWING GUN, MYSTIC LOVE '96, DOUERORGASMUS, RUNNING, SIBIRIAN SUN & WINTERMUTE, all of which are replayed in glorious stereo using the Sirius PlayeR. Needs 1 Mb. STE ONLY.

DPaint animations created on the Amiga . ST conversion by Bob Chewter. Files are MR_Blob, EA_Fly, Rub_Out, Scene10, Reliant1 and Reliant2. Player program on disk. Press 4 to start/stop. NoBI BRAINSTORM - Guide Alfred the snake around the maze collecting all the Yin Yang symbols in order to progress to the next level. On different levels Alfred grows by a different number of units for each symbol he collects. You must manoevre your way around the maze in such a way so as to avoid letting Alfred bite himself In some levels Alfred simply follows your commands on others you have to plot his path several moves ahead. Various objects can be collected and these may help or hinder your progress. There are also certain puzzles to be solved before some of the levels can be completed. This is a demo with a limited number of levels the full version 50 levels being available from the authors. Needs 4 Meg. NoBI RACING - A second Alfred the snake game for one or two players. This one is very similar to its predecessor but with lots more sound effects more puzzles and lots of bonus levels. Also Alfred moves continuously in this game unless there are two possible ways to go . Again it s a demo with a limited number of levels and the full version 100 levels is obtainable from the authors. Needs 4 Meg. YUKON - The card game of patience brought right up to date. Features three variations on the standard game digitised speech and much more. Perhaps the best patience game yet. TCB Tracker modules with player program . Files are FRAPPER GAMEOVER BEATBOX2 SONG TOOBTTLE YTV CHRONOS CSPACE DAISYCHN MWAYSTAR RIGHTWAY SUNDAYS BLACKMOR IMPOSSA UNIVERSE ZORBAS_D. ALT MORE V1.0 - How often do you try to read an ASCII file using the Desktop's 'Show' function only to find that the text appears to be one continuous line and runs off the edge of the screen? This is because the text is in Unix format. ALT MORE sits in your Auto folder and 'watches' for such files. When it encounters one it displays it correctly on screen. APPMAN V0.86 by Jerry Geiger - An Application Manager. After setting up, when you select any file, a pop-up menu appears asking you whether you want to show it, edit it, execute it, print it or pack/unpack it. Different options appear for different files as Appman can be set up to distinguish between executables and data files. You simply link other applications to set extensions (or even complete filenames) and Appman does the work. Requires a replacement Desktop which supports the VA protocol or AES 4.0 (Multi-TOS, Geneva, MagiC etc). ASS V0.1 - Designed to combat the Baby Turtle Virus which scrambles up text strings within files. It does this by trying to distinguish which characters were not entered via the keyboard and then tries to reconstruct the original string. CASIOMODO V1.3 by Uwe Krumm - Allows you to transfer files between an Atari and a Casio FV 850P/880P (handheld computer) easily using the serial port. Using this program, it is possible to edit Casio documents on your Atari and print them out (to 9-pin or 24-pin printers only). The package even allows the Casio's special characters to be printed. This Shareware version restricts the baud rate for transfer. There are two levels of registration, one gets you the manual and the hardware dongle to increase the baud rate, the other omits the dongle and gives instructions on how to build your own. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. Mono res only, Needs 1 Mb. COFFEE - A coffee maker on your own Desktop! Yes, you select how you like your coffee and this nicely presented GEM program will make a lovely cup of 'virtual coffee' to your preference. No spills guaranteed! GREGOR V1.02 by Alain Popek - A CPX based calendar for use with XControl. As the name suggests, it is a Gregorian calendar which essentially means that it can look up dates from 15/10/1582 onwards. Program and docs in French, although it's not really a problem with a calendar. Runs in low res only. HD-CPX V1.1 by B Figureau - A CPX for formatting high density disks. It allows up to 83 sectors/20 tracks. If you regularly use a specific format, you can save it as default from the CPX. Only of use if you have high density drive upgrade fitted. All in French but obvious. COPS V1.07E by Thomas Much and the Behne Bros - A complete replacement for Xcontrol under MagiC v4 (or later) and MagiCMac v1.2.5 (or later). It reads the locations of the CPX modules from CONTROL.INF and places their icons within a moveable GEM window. It supports unlimited CPXs (subject to memory) and long filenames (if your system supports this). Now in English. GETKEY V1.00 by Rich Tietjens - A utility for use with the CLI TOMSHELL (UTL.407). It lets you create batch files from single keypresses (by saving their keycode into an ASCII file). These can then be used in conjuction with a handful of simple commands so as to create multiple choice menus from which you can run your programs. TRUE PAINT by HiSoft - This was the first art package capable of running in true colour. It seems to support the largest amount of file formats of those on this disk. However the demo only loads JPEG and TPI formats. There are very few tools but the package is simple to use. Speedo GDOS and Multi-TOS are supported. Apart from not saving this version is identical to the full version. We ve included some high quality images for you to experiment with. BIT CAMERA DEMO - Allows you to load up IMG X-IMG and XGA images depending on resolution and rescale them fast and accurately. The results are great and the only restriction with this demo is that Save is disabled. DIGITAPE DEMO - A demo of a multi-track digital tape recorder aimed at the professional musician which achieves some outstanding results using the DSP. You can record direct to disk using multiple tracks and remix your recording. It even has a Karaoke mode This is a demo of a commercial product costing 150. You can play any length of tapes but can only record up to 20 seconds worth with this demo. Obviously you ll need a hard drive. CYREL PALETTE MASTER v3.5d - A demo of an impressive art program for any ST or compatible but this one runs in true colour too It features a number of extras not available in ST packages such as generating a rainbow spectrum blending colours gamma level adjustment greyscale conversion addressing the colour registers direct and much more. Originally only available for the TT and Mega STE with a graphic board The demo allows the use of only one clip buffer and does not let you load or save. Apart from that it is fully functional with on-line help and a fair amount of documentation on disk. CLOE by Business Assistance - A displayer program which raytraces script files produced by the full version. There s two versions on disk one for a maths co-processor and another for the ordinary machine. Seven script files are supplied for you to try out. COLOURSCAN II by SKWare One - A true colour program which allows you to convert scanned mono IMG files into colours or true grey scales. The demo only does grey scales at a fixed setting but the results are nevertheless astounding. Pity you can t save them The full version supports 64 and 256 scales as well as colour and saves in 12 different formats. FIR DEMO V1.1 - This program displays different wave forms in a similar manner to an oscilloscope. You can easily change the wave forms using the various slider controls. Calculations are performed using the DSP and there s a separate version of the program for those of you with a maths co-processor. It s difficult to see the purpose of the program since the original doc is in German and the translated one leaves a lot to be desired NETWORK-Q RAC RALLY 1993 - An incredible collection of 14 JPEG pictures scanned from original photographs of the 1993 Network-Q RAC Rally by EYM Cheng. The quality of photography is excellent and the snow covered scenic backgrounds are breathtaking. A must if you are a motor racing fan still worth seeing even if you re not. Brainstorm s JPEG decoder and viewer are included on disk. Please note some pictures require 4 Meg to view FRANTICK by Arcade Dave Munsie - Perhaps the fastest action shoot em up of all time It s very much a case of space invaders on two fronts with extras thrown in Basically you move horizontally within a small area which spans the width of the screen. You are being attacked from above and below by rapid fire from hordes of aliens. You must dodge the enemy fire and wipe out the aliens before progressing to the next wave. There are 100 attack waves in all and four different levels of play including droid assisted and two player options. Features stereo DMA sound and blindingly fast action. 4 Mb recommended if you have less just rename FRANTRACK.DAT. This disables the DMA sound but at least it allows you to play the game. TeX. Another disk associated with the typesetting programs on LAN.34 to LAN.39. This disk contains the TeX DVI to Postscript converter (data and C sources only). You will need this disk if you intend outputting to a Postscript device. It is not needed for those of you who do not require this facility. Music Studio Support Disk 4 - A collection of 68 tunes created with The Music Studio. Can be played out via Midi or Monitor. BUBBLE TROUBLE - You are a bubble and must collect all the power pills to clear the screen. When the screen is cleared, you move onto the next level. There are four other bubbles which you must avoid. If you collide with them you lose a life. Lose three lives and you're finished. Excellent digitised soundtrack. Adventure games. TRAVEL - you must travel round the World in 80 days. You have £3000 and must return with 17 souvenirs. It sounds easy, just try it! Some graphics included. NOT STE. EB-CITY - it's difficult to give any clues to this one. The readme file is in German but the game is in English! It is a traditional text adventure with the "Infocom" feel to it. SHERLOCK - a unique adaption of the adventure game. All choices are made with the mouse. Graphics are included. You play the part of Sherlock Holmes and have the option of playing the game in English or German. Bubble Trouble and Sherlock are colour only, the others run in high or medium res. THE BIRD MAD GIRL SHOW by The Fraggles - Contrary to what the title suggests there's not a girl in sight! This demo was put together by a number of French crews including The Vegetables, Poltergeist, Prism, M Coder and of course The Fraggles. It features 8 screens accessed from the function keys. The special effects include fullscreen overscan, a vertical parallax scroller, 3D vector balls, real time vertical rasters and solid 3D cubes rotating in real time. One of the screens includes 257 tunes from ST demos and games and another is the last offering from Poltergeist and then there's The Watermelon Screen! Good graphics and sound throughout. This demo will NOT run on machines with more than 1 Meg of memory. Zap Cards - a good GEM based database program. Excellent for filing but regrettably without a print facility. Videolib - an excellent GEM based database specifically designed for dealing handling your video cassette collection. Megatools - a collection of well written utilities. HPTrans - copies data to and from Hewlett Packard disks. Viruskill - another virus killer. This is the only virus killer that can remove a virus from memory. Unfortunately it cannot detect games which are designed to Autoboot. Do not use on commercial games disks. MSTrans - copies 5.25" 40 track disks to ST formatted disks. Megaform - probably the best disk copier on the market. It is exceptionally fast, user friendly and includes a host of disk utilities. Well designed but badly documented. Arcshell v1.98 - Yet another update on the archiver utility on UTL.50. Autoboot B - another utility which allows yo to boot up from Drive B instead of Drive A. Cache - a configurable disk cache. It can be set up for any drive and will allow any size of cache (it defaults to 50K). Dcache - another configurable disk cache program. This program allows multiple drives to be cached with caches of different sizes. Directory Manager - a program which builds up library files containing the directories of your disks. It can be used to search through the file and tell you which disk a particular program is on. Expander - converts a single sided disk into a double sided disk without losing the data on it. Login - both ACC and PRG versions of this program are on disk. Prompts for user name and password on bootup. Particularly useful on hard drives where more than one user regularly accesses the system. Viruskil - an update of George Woodside's virus killer on UTL.84. This version recognises more viruses and lets you analyse them like its predecessor. Puzzle - an ACC which sets up a number puzzle. You must re- arrange the numbers so that they go chronologically from 1 to 15. You can only move one number at a time. Melt - your screen display appears to "melt" away! Click the mouse to restore. Code table -displays the enire ASCII character set in high res only. Klick mich - plays random silly tricks with the screen display every thirty seconds or so. The Hibernation Carols Demo by Sewer Software - Exclusively available from Floppyshop. A selection of ten tunes is available from the main menu. Each tune loads up with its own seasonal picture. The music in this demo is the highest quality ever heard on the ST! Even if you don't order any other Christmas software this year, you simply must have this one. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are AMEGAS, DEMONS, DRIVING, JARRE, MAGTUBES, RAMBLING, WOTROCK. THIRD DIMENSION #27, AUGUST 1996 - Tony Hartley returns with another monthly helping of everything you'll ever need to know about Domark's 3D Construction Kit. This issue's features include an updated FCL commands listing, updated Themepark file, an original game in Kit 1 & 2 formats, a Kit 2 datafile on Roman baths, a new border for the Kit 2 Airsim files (as well as a tutorial on creating info screens depicting enemy aircraft) and a further installment of Mieke Van der Poll's Kit 2 step by step game tutorial.

Viewer supplied. GRAV 2 - A Shareware game by Martin Brownlow. This is the followup to Grav on GAM.247C. It is a rotate and thrust type game where you control a spaceship and move it along a difficult terrain, destroying the enemy as you go. Control is from the keyboard, which makes the game very challenging. It contains some great sound effects and good gameplay. Chain Reaction - A Shareware game for one or two players. Different coloured blocks fall down the screen and you must make horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines of three or more of the same colour, which then disappear. Stop the blocks from reaching the top. Similar in style to Tetris. Joystick controlled. THE ADVENTURES OF TOM SAWYER by Mark Twain and MANSFIELD PARK by Katherine Mansfield . The complete original texts to these two novels on disk. Both are out of copyright and may be freely copied. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen - The complete original text to this novel. LEWIS CARROL NOVELS - The complete texts to Alice In Wonderland Alice Through The Looking Glass The Hunting of The Snark. THE SONG OF HIAWATHA by Henry W Longfellow - The complete original text. These texts are all out of copyright and may be freely copied. A COLLECTION OF MONO GAMES FROM THE ST . Don t be put off by the fact that these games only run in ST high resolution. Despite the distinct lack of colour they remain amongst the best games around. A VGA monitor is recommended but not essential. BOMBS - A Minesweeper clone. Select a grid of any size from 8x8 to 16x30. A number of bombs at least 10 will be hidden within the grid. You must click on a square to reveal what is behind it. If it s a bomb the game is over. If not it will reveal a number indicating how many bombs are in the adjacent squares. Mark your guesses for the bombs with flags. High scores are saved to disk. This game has a Zest-like feel to it. DRACHEN - An old Chinese puzzle involving the removal of matching tiles from a large initial pile. Highly addictive FIND 50 - Differently shaped blocks are presented on screen. Each one has a different number from 1 to 50. When the timer starts you must click each number in sequence trying to get all 50 before your time runs out. It s not as easy as it sounds GMINES - Uncover all the squares on a grid without exploding the mines which are hidden beneath some of the squares. Clues under revealed by non- explosive squares help you to decide which squares are safe or which contain mines. MINE - A grid contains some hidden mines. You must identify which squares contain mines without uncovering them. Each turn gives you clues as to the whereabouts of these mines. A challenging puzzle game. PENTOMINOES - A similar game to Tetris in which you rotate shapes and fit them together on a grid. Requires a considerable amount of thought. TRAPS - Find the whereabouts of traps by clicking on squares with the mouse. The object of the game is to clear all the squares without setting off the traps. THRILLER - A Pacman type game or at least it has that sort of feel to it. The title screen stays on for a while so don t think the game has crashed You are a ball on what looks like a racetrack and you get a bird s eye view of the racetrack. Move around dodging other balls and collecting treasure. The treasure is off the main racetrack and you are safe while you stay off the track. Collect all the treasure and proceed to the exit. Eleven tough levels to complete. Source codes for 10 adventures . You must have AGT (LAN.25) before you can use these as they are not compiled. GHOST TOWN, PARANOIA, ODIEUS'S QUEST FOR THE MAGIC FLINGSHOT, THE SQUYNCHIA ADVENTURE, AN UNDERGROUND ADVENTURE, COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE, CRUSADE, ELF'S ADVENTURE, SAMPLE ADVENTURE and A FABLE. Atari 800 Emulator . This disk runs Basic and assembly code programs. It runs Atari Writer very well and if that is anything to go by, it should be a must for all former Atari 8 bit owners. A later version is on LAN.11 but you need 1 Meg of memory to run it. NOT STE. THE GIGA DANCE DEMO by The Shadow Warriors - This demo consists of a collection of nine excellent tracker tunes which can be played from the function keys. Press F10 to load up your own MOD files. There's also a no flicker, no border reset demo. Graphics and sound (stereo if you have an STE) are very good on this demo. MOONSPEEDER by Compo - A playable demo of the game. Moonspeeder puts you in charge of a vehicle on a racetrack on the moon. The action is very fast with your vehicle capable of travelling at speeds in excess of 200 mph and the corners are very sharp. The music and graphics are excellent and the gameplay is a real challenge. You can only select Practice mode in this demo but at least it gives you a feel for the real thing. Control by joystick joypad or mouse. Needs 4 Mb. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 31 - Two more great animations from the PC. MORPH - An amazing animation where three glamourous models smoothly morph into each other. Not to be missed. Morph really needs 4 Meg but will play from disk if you have less. LINKS - A springy piece of fencing wire anchored to a solid base twists and bends with its shadow following it all the time. ST NEWS 9.3 - Yet another incredible issue from Richard Karsmakers and friends. This issue is dedicated to Terry Pratchett and is as usual packed with everything that matters on the ST scene and lots more besides. There's interviews with Terry Pratchett, Altar, Damien Jones, At The Gates, Orphaned Land and Andy & Dave of Volume 11 (Starball authors). Adventure solutions cover Future Wars, Brimstone, Blue Force, Huge and others. Software reviews include NeoDesk 4, Geneva and Ego Pro. Also reviewed are a number of the latest films, audio CDs and books and there's plenty of free software on disk too! This one is fully compatible with all Ataris including the Falcon. DREAMZONE by The Wild Boys - Once you're past the introduction which uses fading text and parallax scrolling balls, you load the main menu. It is a platforms and ladders type affair which scrolls in all directions. You have to guide Cool J Charlie around the screen to find the doors which lead to the demos. Not all the screens are easy to reach and it's quite a chellenge getting into some of them! Effects used include vector balls and full screen effects with scrollers. The megatwister screen is very impressive with numerous special effects. There is also a guest screen by Nexus and a demo of a game by The Wild Boys. Dreamzone is a good two disk demo with a nice playable menu and plenty of screens. HP DESKJET/LASERJET SUPPORT DISK 2 - Another collection of useful utilities for owners of Hewlett Packard printers. BOOKER - Prints out text files using a small font and printing 4 pages to each A4 sheet. The pages are printed in such a manner so that when you collate and fold them, they will all be in the correct order. DJBOTH V1.6 - Allows you to print an ASCII file using both sides of the paper. It automatically selects the appropriate sized font and page orientation in order to minimise paper consumption. DJBOTH will also allow you the option of printing your text using two columns and can produce A5 size booklets in much the same manner as Booker. HARLEKIN 500 - Two printer drivers which allow you to use the Deskjet 500's internal fonts and apply various supported print options to your text. With them, you can apply bold or italic attributes, wrap around characters which fall past the edge of your paper, print foreign characters, perform a self test, perform a reset and so on. In addition, you can use the two inbuilt fonts at two different sizes. You need the desk accessory Harlekin in order to make use of these drivers. HP2XX - Reads in an HPGL ASCII source file and converts it to Metafont, PCL (for use on Deskjet), PostScript, IMG or PCX format. Rather tricky to use, but it does the job. JETEMU V1.1 - A page preview program for Deskjets. It displays a PCL III file from disk to the screen in sections. It is handy for error checking before sending your data to the printer. Also, if the Deskjet misbehaves, it is more than likely due to corruption in the file and this program makes it easy to track down what part of your file is corrupt. MINIPRINT - Yet another of those programs which attempts to squeeze as much print onto a sheet of paper as possible. It supports two column printing, landscape printing, line numbering, headers, user tab settings, setting of top and bottom margins, different fonts and point sizes and much more. OUTBURST - Speeds up printing to HP printers by a factor of as much as 20 to 1! Written by the author of FPPRNT, it even beats that incredibly fast patch. It also reduces the time taken by PageStream to print a page from 301 seconds down to just 14! This is an evaluation demo and you really need to order the full version for regular use. PRHP V1.2 - Allows printing in various modes in portrait or landscape formats. You can have up to 154 characters across the page in portrait mode and up to 204 in landscape. Up to 120 lines per page can be printed in portrait mode and up to 84 in landscape. Numerous other options are also available. HPACCS by V Illich - A collection of useful programs all by the same author, some of which are specific to HP printers and others which are not. PASSWORT - Protect any drive from unauthorised access using this password protection program. SHUTZ - A terminal protector program for mono monitors. SPOOLER - A printer spooler which also allows you to convert printer codes to suit your printer. ST DESK - A boot up utility which lets you save configuration files for different setups. Oddly enough, it runs as an ACC. ZEITANZ - A Desktop clock which displays in the top right of your screen. HP_HARD - Allows you to perform screendumps to a Deskjet/Laserjet at sev eral different resolutions up to a maximum of 300dpi. P6_TO_DJ - An NEC P6 emulator for the Deskjet. Yes you can print graphics at 360 dpi with this one! An invaluable program if you have an application which does not have a Deskjet driver. Please note that this is not a complete implementation as it only emulates the P6's graphic commands. HP_PRINT - Gives you access to all the Deskjet's capabilities including small font sizes, landscape printing and two column printing. AUTOBUP - Allows you to archive hard drive backups. It doesn't carry out the backups themselves, merely archives them. You need a copy of your preferred archiver to use this program. MINIDESK - Lets you create your own Desktop icons and place them on the Desktop. A sort of cut down version of Terradesk or KAOSDesk. BJ300 by Stephen Munslow - An ACC which allows you to send various commands (which font, characters per inch, text effects, print quality, justification etc) directly to a Canon BJ300 or BJ330. MED NET - Networking software which allows you to connect two Atari computers (ST, TT, Falcon or any combination of these) together and access all drives on them as if they belonged to the same system. Connection is performed via the Midi ports. Especially handy if one system has a hard drive and the other does not. THE FINANCIER V1.1S by Kevin Munro - A formerly commercial home/small business accounts package, now re-released as Shareware. It lets you keep track of your spending on your cheque account, credit card, store cards and such like. For the small business statements can be stored on disk with personal details and invoices may be generated. The use of templates allows the same type of form (statement, invoice etc; to be generated each time and each template may be unique to an individual account holder. A built-in graphing facility enables you to view all account balances of a specified period of time and Financier's powerful search facility allows specific entries or accounts to be found easily. All in all a very powerful program. Highly recommended. XMENU v1.5 by Jens Baggemann - A program launcher which can accomodate up to 24 programs in its menu. After setting up, just click onto the appropriate file name and it will be loaded, regardless of its location. Fully compatible with Multi-TOS and Mag!X. Unfortunately all docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation. PASSWORD - A collection of fourteen password encrypt\decrypt programs. In all cases, make a backup of your data and make sure that you can decrypt it before you destroy the original. You should also note down the password you use just in case you forget it, otherwise your data will be irrecoverable. CRYPTIP by N W A Marsh - Scrambles any ST or PC file so that it cannot be viewed intelligibly or executed if executable. Several levels of encryption may be applied to your files and they may only be decrypted by entering the correct six digit password. ST and PC versions supplied. CYPHER II by Patrick Mallows - Allows you to encrypt or decrypt any ST program or data file in much the same manner as Cryptip. Uses a four digit password and comes in any easy to use shell. DENCRYPT - Encrypts the data on an entire disk in one of 999 different ways. The data on the disk is then unreadable until you rerun this program and decrypt it using the correct password. ENIGMA ST v1.0 by David Guest - Multi-Rotor encrypting! This is a simulation of WW2 system used by the Germans and will take some cracking. KAYELOR DATA PROTECTION SYSTEM V3.0 by Narinder Claire - A data protection system that will encrypt files as they are being written to disk. Encryption can be turned off\on via hot- keys. It runs in the background and is invisible to the user. However, you can only access the scrambled data if you know the password! LOCK by Thomas Miller - An ACC which locks up the mouse and keyboard preventing you from gaining access to the system until a password has been entered correctly. LOCK ST V1.0 by Jase King - Another ACC system locker which won't let you into your ST until you type in the correct password. PASS_SYS v0.1 by Richard Pitt - An Auto folder password protection system. The password is encoded into the program itself and you cannot gain access to your hard drive until you type the correct password. An editor program allows you to change the password to suit (assuming you get into your system in the first place!). PROTECT IT by Andrew Brown - Encodes or decodes any file using your chosen password. You can only encode or decode files if you know the password. The password may be changed at any time but you need to input the old password in order to do this! QUICK LOCK V1.2 by Branch Always Software - You can write-protect any drive connected to your system (floppies, ramdisks and hard drives), thus preventing anyone from writing data to it. You can also lock drives, which prevents anyone reading a drive's contents. Simply enter the correct eight digit password when prompted by the ACC in order to gain full access. SECURITY v1.1 by John Naylon - Hides all files on a floppy disk. Rather than encrypt them, it merely makes them invisible when you open the disk's directory and the disk appear to be empty. Entering the correct user name and password makes all files visible again. ST SENTRY v1.01 by Plexus Systems - Locks you out of your hard drive until you enter the correct password. Intended for use with Superboot v6 or later and TOS v1.4 or later. SYS_PROOF v0.1 by David Silverman - Another password protection program for hard drive users. You must enter the correct access code and/or password to gain entry to your hard drive. These can be changed at any time but you must know the old code/password before you will be permitted to enter a new one! UNCLE LOCK v1.0 by Carl Hafner - Locks up the screen (either by making it semi-tansparent or over-writing it with a pattern) while you leave your system unattended. Simply type the correct password to regain access. A screen saver (i.e. terminal protector) is also included. NETHACK (GEM) v3.13 Rev D - This is the GEM based version of the popular Unix based Dungeons and Dragons type game of the same name. Although it will run on any ST, STE, TT or Falcon with any TV or monitor, it is really designed for 16 colour, 80 column, VGA on the Falcon or TT medium res. The game has a similar feel to the old Gauntlet and Rogue games, although its origins go further back. Wander around, collect objects and potions, cast spells, destroy or avoid nasties and progress from one dungeon to the next. Hardened Nethack players will be glad to know that all the old keyboard commands are still supported as well as the old file format, so you can load in your saved games. If you're into these type of games, Nethack GEM is the best there is. Requires at least 2 Meg of memory. A hard drive is highly recommended but not essential. BYTEFREE V3.3 by Darin Wayryne n - A fast an efficient program which calculates the amount of space used and space free on the different partitions of your hard drive. SHAURI v1.1 by Rac me Production - An extensive system analysis program which is similar in many ways to Mark Baines Profile 2. It gives info on TOS version Memory AES VDI GDOS fonts disk drives connected Auto programs ACCs CPX s including settings for each individual CPX cookies installed the memory map DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF settings and NVRAM settings on the TT and Falcon.

It also allows you to print out a test page to help you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful for other applications. BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files therefore saving paper. It also converts between Atari Ansi Mac and PC ASCII files i.e. it translates characters above ASCII 127 correctly between the formats. It also converts Unix ASCII to DOS format so that it can be read on the Atari. Now with an easy to use GEM interface. STARSCHR by Deto Software - A space exploration strategy game with yourself as the new captain of the Intergalactic battleship Starsearcher. Here you must test your skills and abilities to the full, as you attempt to safeguard the earth. GUARDIAN By Deto Software - Similar to Starsearcher but with enhanced gameplay. You are still the captain of a spaceship as you travel through space. Your mission is simple, to engage and destroy the enemy, but how long will your power and supplies hold out? MR DICE - A puzzle game where you must shoot descending dice with dice of the same colour and number in order to make the advancing lines retreat. Control is by joystick. Each level requires a different solution. Simple but addictive fun. ST NEWS 9.2 - Yet another great action packed issue from the inimitable Richard Karsmakers. There's interviews with Slimer of DBA, Stuart Coates, Dan Wilga of NeoDesk fame and many lesser known celebrities who will be much better understood once you've read ST News! A massive disk mag roundup looks at over 100 publications and the biggest(?) ever listing of cheats and passwords for ST games, with a few thrown in for the Lynx and Jaguar too. The adventure column offers solutions to The Colonel's Bequest, Sex Vixens From Outer Space, Dreamzone, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and more. There's several non-computing articles such as a report from the 50th anniversary celebrations of the D-Day landings and reports from some of Europe's biggest rock festivals. Reviews include the Atari Jaguar, ST Handbook, Sleepwalker, Imagecopy 3, Rock 'N Roll Clams and Tempest 2000. There's a section on hot news about forthcoming music and films and a Falcon compatibility list compiled by RK himself. Like its 36 predecessors, this issue of ST News is simply too good to miss! GENART V1.0 by Ian Clarke - A random pattern generator. It generates four random patterns and you choose which one you like. It is used as the basis for the next four or drawn full screen size. Patterns can be merged or mutated and there's a couple of user settings which may be altered too. NIM2ST V1.2 by Denis McCarthy - Converts PCX files created on the Nimbus version of PC Paintbrush into Degas format. Nimbus PCX files are non- standard and although recognised as ordinary PCX's by most conversion utilities, this is the only program known to convert them correctly. ST2NIM - This program converts Degas low res screens into Nimbus PCX files. A number of example Nimbus PCX files are included on disk. VIDEO MASTER DITHER by Simon Scott - Uses dithering to convert a 16 grey level .VID or .FLM sequence created by Video Master on the STE or Falcon so that it looks almost as good on an ST(FM). An example VID file converted with this program is included on disk. SPRITEFX by Paul Passman - A programmer's utility which allows you to import Degas or NEO pictures, cut out the relevant sprites from them and store them in a sprite bank. The sprite bank can hold up to 100 sprites and these can be built up into sequences, each containing up to 100 frames. Up to 100 sequences can be combined together to create lengthy animations. The sprites can range in size from 16x1 to 64x64 pixels in size and the program allows you to define the paths which you want your animations to follow. The end result can then be saved out in binary, assembler or Basic data statements for incorporation into your own programs. The program has a lengthy doc file and includes an on-line help facility. Please note that this is not a sprite designer. You will need an art package to create the initial graphics. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are MONST031 to MONST061. Clip Art (FROM 19TH CENTURY) in IMG format . Files are CUDDLE, GIRL01 to GIRL16, LEGUP, LETTER, MIRROR, STOCKING, TEATIME. Some nudes, so Adult Only. CHIPBOXES 1, 2, 3 by Zuul - Between the three chip box programs there are twenty seven chip music tunes to listen to, whose combined length is well over two hours twenty minutes. There's a total of 1858 individual patterns with the compilation running to almost 1400K! Whilst the sound plays there are a few screens of text giving you some background on the tunes. There's also quite a few packed tunes (unpacker included) on the disk which are over and above those included in the demos. Well composed and worth hearing. THE MEGATIZER - A Shareware chip music editor and player program. Includes GFA and ASM sources for playing your compositions in your own programs, as well as samples, patterns, drums and songs. No docs on disk, so it requires the full manual for serious use. This is available to registered users. Similar in feel to the Soundtracker programs. NO LIMIT II v1.07 - Another great Shareware Pinball machine simulator. You get the usual three balls and control the flippers in an attempt to keep a ball in play as long as possible. There are extras such as bonuses jackpots targets and extra balls. It offers fast and furious action on a longer than usual screen. Are you the Pinball Wizard MEDIEVAL CHESS by JV Enterprises - This is an action game as well as a strategic one You look down on the chess board from above and move your pieces more or less in accordance with the normal rules of chess there are a few exceptions . However when you land on an occupied square you battle it out with your opponent in the arena. The object of the game is to defeat the opponent s King in battle. At the beginning of the game the piece with the highest stature usually wins. However each blow erodes your strength making it any man s game as it progresses. Great digitised sound effects are used throughout. You are given the option of one or two players and three different levels of play. Reminiscent of Battle Chess and perhaps every bit as good Another great Shareware release from the authors of Towers. STEN #11 - Yes, the STEN gang are back again with another great mag. Articles include EDOS -Software On Demand, Australian criminals printing their own bank notes on their computers, converting a PC mouse to work on an ST, fitting a blitter chip, creating a cover picture, using a short wave radio to download software, the facts behind the new DAS (directory enquiries to you and I!) and how to access Phonebase, the modem user's telephone directory.

THIRD DIMENSION (issue 2) June 1994 - The second issue of this multi-format disk magazine for all 3D Construction Kit users. Whether you are an experienced user or a complete novice, if you own the 3D Construction Kit, then this is the diskzine for you. Compatible with Atari, PC and Amiga computers. This issue is much bigger than issue 1. Articles include Beginners Section, Tutorials, Letters, a spoof script from Star Trek, a fun jokes file, a list of PD games available from Third Dimension, tips and the latest Kit News. All the files are in pure ASCII, so easily accessed from the Desktop. There's also plenty of source, borders and OBJ files on disk. An excellent source of information. Well worth a look. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 10 by Brian Ross. Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are CHRUSHIN, DEFJAM, LETTRIX, RADAR2, REFRAIN. Pro-24 v3 by Steinberg - A demo of the twenty-four track Midi Sequencer/ Composer. The demo is interactive, allowing you to select the areas that interest you most, from a menu. THE DELIRIUM DEMO by Orbital Software - A six screened STOS demo. Choose which of these screens you wish to view by using the arrow keys. They include a colour shock, large moving balls, four scrollers at the same time, and some chip music which is played along with moving graphic equalisers. SKYDUEL by Apache - A very good single or multi-player air combat game which includes ballistic missile warfare with dogfighting and ground attacks. The aim of the game is to inflict as much damage as possible onto your opponent whilst he or she tries to do the same to you. The use of a variety of types of aircraft and the randomly generated scenarios make this a compelling game, but it is not easy to be successful until you've had plenty of practice. TANX by Matthew Brown - An excellent Shareware game for one or two players. Each player controls a tank and must shoot their opponent until he or she loses power completely. Control of the tanks is by joystick. Scattered around the playing area are various tokens which appear from time to time. These can either be for good or bad, some improving your tank's capabilities, others weakening them or strengthening your opponent. A simple to use but equally addictive game. BUGS - A donationware game from Dave Munsie - Use the joystick to move your gun around the screen and then fire at a variety of insects that are crawling all over the screen. There are lots of things to shoot at and therefore plenty to keep you occupied as you try to clear the entire level of nasty creepy-crawlies. A well implemented, easy to pick up, addictive game. CAB-FTP V0.3 by Manfred Ssykor - An FTP client allows you to download programs and files from Internet sites for use within CAB. Install it as the default application for ftp and CAB-FTP will be called in every time you try to access a URL beginning ftp // rather than http //. This makes it much simpler than having to use a separate ftp program. CAB-FTP can of course be run as a separate application alongside STiK independently of CAB if required. DIALER V0.85 by Peter Rottengatter - A replacement dialer the ACC part for STiK v1.11 or later. The advantages over STiK s dialer include support for up to 8 phone numbers and up to 5 file servers an abort option the amalgamation of the two config files better multi-tasking compatibility and a flashier interface. This was the forerunner to STiNG and it ideally suited to those wanting an improved version of STiK without the trauma of upgrading to STiNG. NEWSWATCH V2.00 by Gary Priest - Lets assume you use Oasis for newsgroup access and CAB for WWW browsing. They use different methods of connecting to your ISP and therefore necessitate two calls. This program allows you to send and receive Usenet news articles via Oasis 1.3x Snews or Oasis 2 using STiK rather than NOS or ICE. In effect it means that you can send and receive news articles during a session with STiK without having to log on again with Oasis. You still create the messages in Oasis and read downloaded messages in Oasis it s just that you don t need to make a second call in order to your ISP in order to send/receive the news articles. NEWSIE V0.88 by John Rojewski - Primarily a Usenet News client for use with STiK although it can also handle the sending by SMTP and receiving by POP3 of email. It lets you select your favourite newsgroups and read new articles on or off-line. You can also post new articles to newsgroups or followups to existing articles. This latest version extends its email capabilities with support for binary attachments in uuencoded or MIME encoded formats. Multiple mail boxes are supported as is the ability to transfer messages between mailboxes. Newsie also handles FTP allowing you to download software directly from the Net. Newsie only works if STiK is installed. THE ARCHIVERS COLLECTION - A collection of the latest versions of the best archivers available. Although these are all ST programs they run perfectly on the Falcon without modification. Some do not run with Multi-TOS. In most cases we have supplied a GEM based shell program to help simplify their use. ARC v6.02 - Probably the best known of all archivers. This latest version supports directory structures and is fully compatible with the PC version. ARCShell v3.1 - Yet another revision of this ever popular GEM based shell for using ARC and LZH. It supports every feature of ARC LhArc and Quester s LHarc formats as well as having a number of disk management utilities. LH Arc V1.13c - The ST implementation of Yoshi s LhArc algorythm. It usually gives better compression that ARC. LHARC v2.01L by Thomas Quester s - This adaptation of the LHArc archiver is much faster than other versions and supports a number of extra commands. LHA v2.32 - Another adaption of the LHARC archiver by a different author. This latest version is compatible with the original LHArc v2.01 of Quester s version and can handle lh5 compression as used on the PC. It works fine with Arcshell v3.1 which is also on disk. ZOO v2.1 - ST version of UNIX and IBM standard archive/unarchive utility with full documentation. One of the benefits of Zoo is that it can often recover good files from corrupt archives. Now Multi-TOS compatible. STZIP v2.6 - The ST version of PKZIP an archiver commonly used on the PC . Fully compatible with PKZIP v2 and capable of creating self extracting files. Fully integrated into its own GEM based shell. Multi-TOS compatible. Probably the most widely used archiver on the Falcon. SPLITIT - Splits up one large file into several smaller ones for sending over the modem or backing up from your hard drive onto floppies. Works well with any type of file including archived files. ST UNARJ v2.30 - Unpacks or lists ARJ archives as created on the IBM PC. ARJSHELL - An easy to use GEM based shell which simplifies the use of ST UNARJ. LZHSHELL v3.10 by Christian Grunenberg - Another adaption of the LHARC archiver. This latest version is compatible with the original LHArc v2.01 of Quester s version and can handle lh5 compression as used on the PC. It comes with its own easy to use GEM based shell. ESSCODE V6.4 - An implementation of the Uuencode/Uudecode protocol used for converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems like Internet which does not support binary transfer. The software also converts them back to binary. This implementation is GEM based Multi-TOS compatible and much faster than previous versions. MSHADOW v1.0 - Magic Shadow Archiver creates a compressed archive of a complete floppy disk including bootsector . Ideal for archiving all those demos with executable bootsectors so that you can free up some disks. Now fully Falcon and Multi-TOS compatible. Cyber Paint animations - Sinister, Trumpet2 and Visitor. Needs 1 Meg. Digi Synth 2 by The Wild Boys - A really clever 3D intro, leading to a main menu from which you can listen to five MOD files ported from the Amiga. DRACONIS INTERNET CONNECTION PACKAGE V04/98 by J Heitmann - A complete connectivity suite, offering a real challenge to the sacred land ruled by CAB and Wen Suite. It consists of the The Light of ADAMAS Web Browser, Marathon Mail and the basic configuration, connection and dialer utilities. It does not currently include a news reader. DICP does not require StiK or STiNG, it uses its own PPP networking layer. At a glance, the mail client supports multiple mailboxes, accounts with multiple ISPs, multiple mail folders (useful for filing messages you wish to retain), the sending and receiving of binary attachments and a few other extras. The browser supports extensive cache management, security features, off-line and on-line browsing and a hotlist for keeping track of your favourite URLs. There's even a hint of Java support in a future version. Both the mailer and the browser draw heavily from ideas seen on older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Internet Mail & News packages on other platforms. DICP is Freeware in its current state (this is a beta release) but the final version could well go commercial if proposed features live up to their promise. The package is supplied with English and German RSC files but comes with no documentation. Theoretically you just need to install it and input your personal details to get up and running. Needs 1Mb. Hard drive recommended but not essential. DIP EDIT V0.6 by Dan Ackerman -Lets you create dial up scripts for your ISP. Essentially what it does is take you through a nice friendly question and answer session dressed up in a GEM interface, where it ensures you enter the data given to you by your ISP into the correct places in your dial up script. DIP EDIT is intended for use setting up MiNTNet (S-COM.5829 & S- COM.5830) though the scripts it creates could easily be adapted for use with STiK and other packages. A useful tool for beginners struggling to get onto the Net. WEB PAGE CREATOR V2.0 by Rob Mahlert - We've all seen WebSpinner and HP Pengiun, Web Page Creator is another program of that genre. In its current format it is a little rough around the edges offering only text/graphic import, horizontal lines, background images and links, with no real control over the positioning of elements on the page. However, it is a very simple program to use and therefore ideally suited to someone who knows nothing of HTML and wants a simple homepage run up in a matter of minutes. Medium res only. DIGITAL AUDIO MULTILAYERING AND EDITING DAME - A direct to disk recording program. This was originally an ST program which required expensive hardware. The Falcon version requires no additional hardware apart from a microphone and has been released as Shareware. It accepts the input from the microphone socket and records it directly onto the last partition of each hard drive unit connected to your system. You can add various effects to your sample afterwards. DAME crashes if you don t have a microphone connected TCB TRACKER 030 - An Cool s legendary TCB Tracker converted to run on the Falcon. This version runs perfectly on the Falcon except for the fact that you get an error 22 when you try to load press Space to continue and your resolution setting is messed up when you exit. Apart from that you can play all your old TCB Tracker mods or simply sit down and write some new ones PROTRACKER 2 030 - This is patched version by Falcon Commando of Karl Anders Oygard and Hans-Arild Runde - A fully functional 4 channel sample synthesiser. Originally intended as a commercial package the authors have decided to release it as Shareware. It is fully compatible with Protracker 2 on the Amiga but has many more features. It even handles compressed MOD files and lets you compress your own. Without a doubt this is the best MOD file editor available at any price. FPROPLAY by The Firehawks - An ACC which plays Protracker MOD files at 50khz. F030PLAY V1.0 by Phoenix of Cyberpunk - Install this MOD player as an application then simply double-click the MOD file to hear it in glorious stereo. It plays MODs packed with Ice Packer Atomik and Power Packer Amiga . One of the better MOD players. Assembler source included. NATRACK - An excellent MOD player which plays MODs created on an ST STE or Falcon correctly on all three machines. It runs as an ACC or PRG and works with Multi-TOS. It is designed as an advert for NAudio Library which allows programmers to write programs which deal with MODs and samples correctly on all three machines. OSCI - An oscilloscope in a window which displays the levels of activity on right and left channels separately. It works fine with some programs but conflicts with others. H ARDCHOR v0.9 - Yet another direct to disk sampling program. You can record or play back raw data at 12khz 25khz or 50khz in 8-bit mono 8-bit stereo or 16-bit stereo. Various effects like delay equalise harmonise flanger and karaoke. There s no docs and the program s in German but it s GEM based and very straightforward to use. NETHACK (GEM) v3.13 Rev D - This is the GEM based version of the popular Unix based Dungeons and Dragons type game of the same name. Although it will run on any ST, STE, TT or Falcon with any TV or monitor, it is really designed for 16 colour, 80 column, VGA on the Falcon or TT medium res. The game has a similar feel to the old Gauntlet and Rogue games, although its origins go further back. Wander around, collect objects and potions, cast spells, destroy or avoid nasties and progress from one dungeon to the next. Hardened Nethack players will be glad to know that all the old keyboard commands are still supported as well as the old file format, so you can load in your saved games. If you're into these type of games, Nethack GEM is the best there is. Requires at least 2 Meg of memory. A hard drive is highly recommended but not essential. GAMES MENU 1 - A selection of games by Oscar Berman from Sweden. All 5 games are selected from a main menu. PICKER - Try to pick the yellow points as you steer a ball around a grid using the joystick. Other squares on the grid can help or hinder your progress. The level of difficulty increases as you progress. PLANET - A lunar lander game. Try to land a spacecraft safely on the surface of the planet, using the keyboard to move left and right and fire thrusters. Gravity brings the craft closer to the ground. PLUMBER - A pipeline clone. Try to build complete pipelines before the water starts to flow. SIRTET - Yet another version of Tetris. Different shaped blocks fall from the top of the screen. Using the joystick you must stop the piles of blocks from reaching the top of the playing area by making complete horizontal lines. UBOAT - You control a destroyer and using depth charges you attempt to bomb the enemy submarines beneath you. But beware, they can fire missiles back at you and you have only a limited number of lives. PHILOSOPHICAL FACES - Engravings from the Victorian era showing "mental types" eg: greed, frivolity, brutality etc. All are 300 dpi or 400 dpi scans in IMG format. Files are ADULATOR, BLUNDER, BOASTER, BUSYBODY, CLOWN, DETRACT, DISAGREE, DISSEMBL, ACCELERATE CPU V1 by Peter Green - A detailed text document and accompanying images describing how to perform the hardware modifications necessary to make you Falcon s CPU run at 18 Mhz 36 Mhz if Power Up 2 is already fitted . This is a system wide acceleration so it affects everything in your Falcon not just the CPU. What s more it will only cost about 6 for parts and 5 for the Shareware fee ACCELERATE CPU V2 - A modification of the original package which allows your CPU to run at 24 Mhz 48 Mhz if Power Up 2 is fitted . It should be noted that you can only run text based i.e. TOS and TTP programs at this speed not GEM programs. It is also essential that you slow down the speed of the Blitter. A program to do this is included. ACCELERATE FPU V1 by Peter Green - Detailed text document and accompanying images describing how to accelerate your 68881/68882 FPU to 50 Mhz 64 Mhz if Power Up 2 is fitted . This too is a system wide acceleration and interacts with the CPU if modified to give an even greater overall speed increase. This time it s 10 for parts and 10- 15 for the Shareware fee. ACCELERATE FPU V2 - This offers the same acceleration as v1 of the modification but uses a different simplified circuit design. CLAC V1.1 by Eero Tamminen - An expression evaluating program ie.calculator which has some functions rarely found in any other calculator. CLAC is composed of two internally separate components. The user interface UI gets the expressions and takes care of the variables and output whereas the expression engine calculates the expression strings given to it by UI. Some of the advantages of CLAC are - The expression engine is OS independent as it includes only ANSI C. There can be several different UI s. The current text interface is also OS independent. More complex expressions can be evaluated without making the program exessively complex thus easing up the debugging and addition of new features. TTF VIEW by Trevor Blight - A simple but handy utility which displays a True Type font on screen without the need for SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 to be installed. This makes it useful for checking out new fonts without having to install them and load up an application to view them. MONO only. PYSGHAM v2.0 by STectre - A virtual drive management program. You can create up to eight virtual drives and each drive corresponds to a folder on a real drive eg D UTILS WORDPLUS LETTERS could be assigned as virtual drive N. This means that you access the folder s contents by simply opening Drive N on the Desktop and all file operations using Drive N will be re-directed to D UTILS WORDPLUS LETTERS . A great program which eliminates the need to wade through nested folders on a hard drive system. AL S VIRTUAL FILE MANAGER V1.1 - A program launcher with a difference. There is no limit to the number of entries which can be added to the list and directories can be added as well as programs. Documents can be associated with programs so that you select the document and the appropriate text editor loads. You can instantly open any specified directory with a double click on the appropriate item in the AVFM window. Programs which require parameters to be passed to them can have this specified in the config file too. File names can be up to 30 characters long and can have comments attached to them. All in all a very handy program to have around especially if you have a hard drive. If using TOS 1.2 AVFM only works if you have a replacement file selector installed. This problem does not exist with other TOS versions. MANUALIZER V2.0 by Anthony Watson - A nice easy to use program which lets you print out ASCII text in landscape or portrait format or as A5 booklets. In addition you can use up to three fonts in your document. One of the few manual creation programs which is not specific to Hewlett Packard printers although it does work on them too. Ideal for printing out those readme files. Requires GDOS or SpeedoGDOS to be installed if you are printing to non-HP printers. LET EM FLY V1.3 - Lets you move dialog boxes around the screen with the mouse implements keyboard shortcuts for button presses adds new icons to alert boxes replacing the drab GEM versions lets you view what s under a dialog and lets you switch off grow and shrink boxes for faster screen redraws. Multi-TOS compatible. INS CHAR by Matthew Carey - An ACC which brings up a table of the ASCII charater set. Simply click onto any character to insert it into your document. Includes C source. INS DATE by Matthew Carey - An ACC which inserts the current date assuming your system clock is set correctly into your text documents. Includes C source. SVGA EMULATOR V1.0 by New Core - An Auto folder program which gives you a resolution of 864x512 in 16 colours on an SVGA monitor. Do NOT try this on an RGB or ordinary VGA monitor or you are likely to cause damage. LEXICON v2.00 by Ian Clarke - An odd utility which allows you to emulate keyboard shortcuts by drawing the appropriate letter on screen with the mouse More usefully you can define a symbol to simulate holding down the CTRL ALT and SHIFT keys or any combination of them together so that complicated keyboard shortcuts are achieved easily. DAMONOID - This is a shoot 'em up which features digitised speech and even saves your high score to disk. OTHELLO by Jim Holmwood - This is an immaculate implementation of the board game Reversi. It is entirely mouse controlled and plays a mean game. You may find it difficult to beat the computer but this will maintain its appeal. Mono or colour. SPECULATOR by Camy Maertens - A stock market game. Up to 3 players can take part in this 'Bulls and Bears' type game. Full instructions exist within the game and are accessed from the F keys. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. TOS PATCHES - Don Maple has put together a collection of all known patch programs designed to cure various bugs in all TOS versions from v1.0 the first ROM TOS up to v4.04. There s also a text file describing the changes made to each TOS version prior to the Falcon over and above its predecessor. We have dropped all serial port patches other than HS Modem due to lack of space as few work on the Falcon and HS Modem performs all their functions only better. Some programs are English others are German. In the latter cases we ve done RUF translations of the docs. BUTTONFIX 1.4 - Fixes the double-scroll bug present in some TOS versions. CACHExxx - Caches data on your hard drive to increase performance on TOS 1.4 upwards. The xxx signifies the size of the cache buffers. DC BITSET 1.0 - Allows TOS 1.0 and 1.2 to set the archive bit correctly in file headers. This bug was fixed in TOS 1.4. DC LIGHT OFF 1.0 - Deselects Drive A if you boot from hard disk with no floppy in Drive A. Prevents floppy drive motor and LED staying on for infinity. DRIVE OFF - Performs the same task as DC Light OfFALC. FLOPFIX - Fixes various bugs in the BIOS which result in read errors write protect errors and disk change errors on TOS 2.06 upwards. FORCE MEDIA CHANGE - Many replacement floppy drives do not detect a disk change properly. This can result in the FATs and root directory of the last inserted disk overwriting the new disk s contents. The program forces TOS to re-read the FATs and root directory every time a disk is accessed. FOLDRxxx - Fixes the 40 folder bug. This bug exists in all TOS versions but manifests itself differently on the newer TOSes. The xxx signifies the number of extra folders. HD_FDC - Sets the floppy disk seek rate to 3ms rather than 6 ms on TOS 2.06 upwards. NBCBS - An adaptation of CACHExxx which allows you to set the FAT/root directory and directory/data buffers separate from each other. PATCHX06 - Fixes various BIOS disk routines media change disks with one FAT read errors if 2 drives fitted in TOS 2.06 and 3.06. RESET - Forces a warm reset if no floppy is found in Drive A. This fixes a problem on some computers where the floppy drive is not recognised at boot up. DESK_ENV V3.00 - Lets you set up AES environmental variables on TOS 1.0 1.2 and 1.4. ENV 1.3 - A CPX which lists all currently installed environmental variables and lets you add new ones to the list. ENVIRMNT 2 - Ensures that any environmental variables cannot be changed by other applications after boot up. DRUCKESZ - A patch for German users which filters out characters after ss when printing. NVDI FIXES - Two program which fix bugs which can cause crashes with NVDI v2.5. 24 BIT - Allows many programs which are not 32 bit clean to run on the TT and Falcon. CHK_OFLS 1.03 - Ensures that errors do not occur when copying data to mass storage devices when using high speed copying programs such as Kobold by checking that the file system being copied to has actually been opened. COOKIE - Installs a Cookie Jar on pre-TOS 1.6 systems. FIX GDOS - Some programs won t run if GDOS AMCGDOS or NVDI are installed they report invalid handle . This program fixes the problem. INSJAR - Creates a Cookie Jar of a specified size on pre-TOS 1.6 systems enlarges the existing Cookie Jar to the specified size on TOS versions 1.6 upwards. MAKEFAST - Allows you to switch the Fastload bit reduces loading time on large memory machines ON or OFF for programs running on TOS 1.4 or later. MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Puts almost all dialogs into GEM windows. This allows you to choose to ignore a dialog and access the menu bar or move a dialog which is obscuring your work. Most useful on multi-tasking systems. NO ROACH - Lets you specify how long your computer should wait before booting from hard drive. Specifically designed for the Mega ST/E and TT as they have internal hard drives. NVRAM 1.1 - An Auto folder program which resets the TT or Falcon s non- volatile RAM to the factory presets and a CPX which lets you customise the settings to your own preference. PINHEAD 1.8 - Speeds up the loading of programs on TOS versions 1.0 to 1.6. More or less performs the same functions as setting the Fastload bit on TOS 1.4 but is said to be more compatible with certain rogue applications. POOLFIX92 - A bug fixed version of various patch programs by Atari which are designed to fix memory compaction routines in the OS pool under TOS 1.4 and 1.6. OVFIX - Gets rid of the bug where the ESC character is sent continuously causing the current directory to keep re-reading and a continuous tone to emanate from the keyboard. SHELL_FIX 1.3 - Allows programs which use TOS s shell functions to run from alternative Desktops they normally only run from the GEM Desktop . STE_FIX - Patches the DESKTOP.INF of TOS 1.6 to overcome that version s inability to boot up in medium resolution. TOS14FX5 - A bug fixed version of Atari s patch which fixed the inability to use RTS/CTS handshaking and an odd problem whereby a program cannot locate its own RSC. These bugs only exist in TOS 1.4. TT GAMES - Several patches which make the TT more compatible with the ST so that many older programs may be run. They switch off the cache switch to 24 bit addressing and allow some programs which execute from the bootsector to run. VDI_FIX 1.11 - Fixes the bug which results in the same VDI handles being given to two or more VDI workstations. Affects all TOS versions up to 3.05 except for v1.2 . GEMRAM 1.6/1.7 - Copies GEM to RAM so that it can be patched by other programs eg SHBUF ARROWFIX WINX . SHBUF 1.3 - Patches GEM to increase the shell buffers of NEWDESK.INFALC. This lets you have more icons on the Desktop more installed applications and prevents icons going missing if your NEWDESK.INF exceeds 4K in size. Only needed in TOS 2.05 upwards. ARROWFIX 1.5 - Fixes the double scroll problem with the slider bars on GEM windows on certain TOS versions. WINX 2.2 - Patches the window handling of GEM to allow more windows to be open. It also adds a number of features to window handling especially with regard to manipulating background windows without actually selecting them. HS MODEM 6 - Although a little fiddly to set up this patch appears to fix all serial port related bugs on all TOS versions. It even supports DTE rates of up to 115200 hardware permitting. Absolutely essential if using a high speed modem desirable even if using a slower model. FALCON FIXES - These last fixes are Falcon specific and will not work on any other machine. BACKWARD 2.41 - A sort of STE emulator. It lets you run many ST programs including some commercial games on your Falcon which would ordinarily have been incompatible. BMAPFIX 2 - Some comms programs insist on using Bconmap 6 as the serial port rather than Bconmap 7 as used on the Falcon. This program fixes the problem. BOOTCONF - Allows you to customise your non-volatile RAM settings. FALCONSX 1.0 - Lets you switch ON/OFF your cache or IDE drive switch the CPU/Blitter to 8/16 Mhz select Falcon or STE compat bus set sweep frequency for the Videl connect ADC to DAC reset the sound sub-system and much more all from a single ACC. FALCVOLU - An Auto folder program which lowers the volume of your Falcon. FALCON BOOT - Installs an executable bootsector onto a floppy which allows you to switch the cache or speaker ON/OFF bypass the internal hard drive or Autoboot a boot disk. FPATCH2 - Initialises the DMA sound hardware fixes a bug in the bconmap structure and lets you access the LAN port via the BIOS. STESOUND - Patches TOS 4.01 4.02 to initialise its STE compatible DMA sound otherwise you get silence from programs which use DMA sound FULL RES 1.01 - Allows you to get 256/512 pixel deep resolutions 320x256 and 640x512 on RGB monitors rather than the usual 200/400 320x200 and 640x400 . REZ FOOLER 1.2 - makes your Falcon think it has a different monitor attached. Useful for switching between RGB and VGA modes if you have a multi-sync monitor. SND_THRU - Connects the microphone and headphone ports together so that sound fed in via a microphone can be output via the headphone socket in real time. TOS4 TRAP 1.0 - Monitors certain GEMDOS calls to make them compatible with the version of GEMDOS used in TOS 4.0 upwards. EASY GEM LIBRARY V1.22 by Christophe Boyanique - A collection of Pure C sources and library routines for adding a slick new futuristic looking 3D interface to your own GEM program. It supports pop-up menus, iconification of windows and everything else you would expect to see in a modern interface. Easy GEM was used in the production of BITMAP VIEW 3, POVSHELL 2 and other recent releases by Raceme Production and now they have released the complete sources under the GNU Public Licence. Easy GEM is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems. It is also fully compatible with SpeedoGDOS and all its predecessors. A small demo of a typical application is included. It allows you to load up the Help files which form the documentation for the library. The Help feature works on a hypertext type basis and is another feature which can be incorporated into your own code. The demo (including the Help files) is bilingual and can be set to English or French. A collection of 54 sound samples (BASS, EFFECTS, INSTRUMENTS, PERCUSSION) for use with sound tracker type programs to produce your own MOD files. A COLLECTION OF ARCADE TYPE GAMES FROM THE ST. HUNCHY - A classic Shareware adaptation of the Hunchback games from days of old. Closely follows the original game but with better graphics and is just as addictive. SQUISH - Can you squash the bouncers before they squash you. You control a character who is being bombarded from above by bouncing enemies. By timing your own jumps right you can flatten your enemies before they get you. Blocks can be moved and platforms used as safe havens to help you progress. Numerous levels are included. Upstart - A vertical shoot em up game written in STOS Basic. Shoot various item before they get to bottom of the screen. Shoot f icon for fuel. VIKING 11 by Martin Ribbink - You have landed on Mars but the ungrateful Martians are attacking you using the supplies falling from above. You must hide from the Martian missiles coming from the left and right. VIOLENCE - A Shareware Xenon 2 clone. This must be one of the best shoot em up games on the market. Fast arcade style action and lots of extra features built in. If you are a shoot em up addict you can t deprive yourself of this one XILLER - A Defender type clone written in STOS. Shoot anything that moves. A COLLECTION OF RAYTRACED IMAGES in JPEG format. - Viewer program supplied. Files are AXIS IONIC5 JACK6 L-SPIDER MANDPOOL NARCH NTREAL PALACE1 PIGMENT PLANE1 SHAPES SKELETON TONKA2. RTFTOHTML by Barry Munro - Allows you to convert Rich Text Format (RTF) format text files into their HTML equivalents. HTML is a hypertext based language similar in concept to ST-Guide and is the language used for all documents on the World Wide Web. If your word processor supports RTF format (Marcel and Papyrus do), this package performs a painless conversion for you, thus eliminating the need to learn HTML. Full user guide on disk in both RTF and HTML formats. DA'S LAYOUT TC V6.0 - A usable demo of Digital Arts' answer to Calamus SL. This demo version seems to offer much of the functionality of Calamus but with a few notable extras such as PPD output for printing to PostScript devices, colour selection via drag & drop, page/image previews (from the file selector and much more. It imports graphics in TIFF, TGA, GIF, CVG, GEM and EPS formats and supports output to 24-pin, bubblejet, laser, Deskjet and Postscript devices. Several fax drivers are also included. Pages can be output as TIFF, CVG, EPS or in Didot's own vector format as an alternative to printing. The program is very fast in operation. This demo version seems to be restricted only in the fact that you are restricted to 30 minutes' use and cannot save your work. When you start up it will be in German, select from Sprache the Optionen menu to choose the required language. English, French and Italian are supported in addition to German. Needs 4 Mb and a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res or graphic card only on an ST. MUSIC FOR THE MASSES 2 by NPG - A collection of 10 excellent MOD files which can be loaded from a main menu. Brilliant quality. JOSEPH CONRAD NOVELS - The complete original texts to THE ROVER HEART OF DARKNESS and LORD JIM by Joseph Conrad. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. C_SCAPE V1.1 by Pete Bailey - An integrated front end for Sozobon C (LAN.13). Rather than have to use Sozobon from a CLI, C_SCAPE gives you a nice easy to use working environment and allows your compiler and editor to be called up with a single key press. The package also includes a text editor called Opal. A useful feature of C_Scape is the ability to switch between low and medium resolution so that you can write the code for a low res program whilst in medium res but don't have to re-boot to test it. Comprehensive manual on disk. Recommended. LHARC SRC by Thomas Quester - The complete assembler and C source code to the LZH method of compression as used in the archiver program of the same name. Almost 300k of code complete with short doc (in German) from author. XINTEGER by Simon Boyd - The XINTEGER C Libary for use with Lattice C. A very comprehensive package with lots of features including allowing programs to use a new data type, the extended integer,"xint". This can be used to represent large integers in a C program. A comprehensive library of routines to support the "xint" type is of course included along with a number of examples. SUBSTATION by Unique Developments - A playable demo of the STE's first Doom clone. It's the usual scenario of wandering around a maze shooting at everything that moves and collecting things. You are armed with only a dagger and a pistol and must brave the elements and save the world, or something like that. Gameplay follows much the same lines as the PC version of Doom but with some compromises. This demo is fully playable but limited to a single level and it exits to the Desktop each time you lose a life. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. MOBY DICK by Herman Melville - The complete original text to this novel on two disks. This work is out of copyright and may be freely copied. DRAW - The PD version of this art package. It is fully functional with the exception of the save feature. Use Snapshot to save your pictures.

Program and documentation in German. PIC- SNAP - creates a window for you to load a picture file into. Use Snapshot to save it. ANDROMEDA - A high res art package. Better by far than Degas Elite and as good as Artist on ART.13M. Thanks to Terry Billany for translating this program. Big Colour - A must for all Mono monitor owners. The program will run some Low resolution and most Medium resolution programs. Megamenu V4 - allows you to make up your own menus to run programs. Boot Maker - allows GEM based program to auto run (neither necessary for, nor compatible with the STE). Chem V.2 -"Chemistry for all on the ST". This program is a basic introduction to chemistry concept. Students may find it of use up to GCSE level. Degasconv - converts Degas low/medium res pictures to High resolution. Packer V2.31 - packer program used by the Automation Crew. Stitch Matrix. Load in a Degas(PI1 or PC1) screen and define background colour and area to be printed. Prints out your design as an embroidery pattern. A number of picture files including the STUFFED logo and some old Floppyshop News cover pics are included on disk. Shiny Bubbles by Xanth computers . This is a classic demo which uses a whole disk and the graphics are of a quality usually seen on mini and mainframe computers. SOZOBONX by Jerry Geiger and others - An eXtended version of the Alycon C compiler Sozobon C v2.00 from Germany. This Freeware release has extensive documentation in both English and German and is very close to being fully ANSI/POSIX compatible. It is currently being maintained and updated by seven different authors and promises even greater things to come. This latest version supports profiling pre-compiling and has an in-built source level debugger and code optimiser. Finished code is converted to assembler before being linked to create the executable program. The runtime library files included Xdlibs are an optimised version of Dale Schumacher s Dlibs from the original Sozobon distribution and the GEM library is an adaptation of Ian Lepore s GEMFAST. Although designed to run from a CLI SozobonX includes HAR v3.00 by Holger Weets which is a graphic based front end similar in feel to his excellent Pacshell on FALC.4783. Extensive on-line Help is supplied by way of ST-Guide files ST-Guide not included . This version of Sozobon C is fully Falcon compatible. A hard drive although not essential is recommended. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 11 - Contains the following fonts:- NEW BASQUE, NEW BASQUE ITALIC, NEW BASQUE BOLD, NEW BASQUE BOLD ITALIC, NEPTUN SCRIPT, NEUMANN, NYC, NYC ENGRAVED, OPTICAL, OPTICAL ITALIC, OPTICAL BOLD, OPTICAL BOLD ITALIC, PAINTER, PAPERBOY.

TIFFANY'S BARNYARD - This is a game of concentration as there are 28 doors and behind each is the name of an animal. Use the mouse to open any two doors. If the names match they stay open, if not they close. The object of the game is to remember which door is hiding what name. BODY SHOP - A program designed to help students learn Human Anatomy. The names & locations of all major bones & organs are taught using both everyday and proper medical terms. WORLD AT RISK - This program is concerned with the environ- ment we live in and what we are doing to it. It also explains ways we can help stop the damage. CLIMOGRAPH - A Geography based program showing annual rainfall, hours of sunshine & temperatures etc. Mono only. BUTTERFLY IN THE PARK - You are a butterfly flying around a park. By clicking the mouse you can create activity wherever you go. You will find children playing, trees, hot air balloons & lots more. For 2-5 year olds. ME FIRST - A series of mixed up stories (about 30). When the pictures are selected in the correct order, the child is rewarded with quality animation and music. For 2-6 years old. Both programs run in low resolution only. CD PLAYER - Allows you to play back music CDs on a CD ROM drive, assuming you have such a beastie! CLI - A command line interpreter which runs as an ACC. It has a number of useful commands which can viewed by pressing H (for help). DOCP - A directory oriented copy program developed from MCP. It allows you to use wildcards and parameter switches to specify which files or type of files are to be copied. Prefers to be run from a CLI so not for the faint hearted! REFBASE 1.4 - A database for storing scientific references. It was primarily intended as a quick look up system for handling titles from publications which have appeared in various journals. It allows multiple files to be held in memory and cross searched, fast scrolling, splitting and merging of files, high speed export of fields for keyword extraction and instant printing of neat reports. Mono only, needs 1 Meg. TSET - Prompts you for the time and date on boot up and sets the system clock. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FLORA_B1, FLORA_B2, FLORA_BO, FLORA_B_, FLORA_NO, FLORENC1, FLORENCE, FLORENCN, FLORENC_, FNFULF_T, FOUNTAIN. MIKENET by Mike De Petris - Allows any two Atari computers to be connected in a network using standard MIDI cables. Any drives can be mapped to the letter of your choice and both CPUs can access files on each other's hard drives. The drive redirection can be used even if no other computer is connected and is useful for those programs which insist on working with a specified drive (usually A:\) and have this embedded in their program code. Either computer can be assigned read only/read write or inactive status on the network and any drive may be redirected to either local or remote partitions. Eveything works invisibly to all software. Multi-tasking friendly. EPRO_210 - Updates v2.0, 2.0A or 2.0B of Anondyne Software's ExtenDOS Pro CD-ROM driver software to v2.10. You need an original of the appropriate version of ExtenDOS Pro, otherwise this patch is of no use to you. Your software can then be upgraded to v2.3A using the patch on F.5546. IMPLODER by Hackbear - A port of the Amiga file packer of the same name. It can pack both executables and data files and dragging a packed file (Imploder packed of course!) to it results in an unpacked version of that file being resaved. IMPLOID V2.04 - An archiver shell for use with the Gemini replacement Desktop or any other (such as Thing) which uses the AV protocol. It supports the use of ZIP, ZOO, ARC, ARJ, LHZ and UUencode/UUdecode archivers, although these are not included on disk. Imploid runs as an ACC and you simply open its window and drop the appropriate archive into it. Double-click inside the window for full range of options. Unfortunately the program's in German (but simple to work out) and there's no docs. Invaluable if you are using Gemini or Thing. AUTO_C V6.00 - Loads all Auto folder programs from Drive A and ACCs from drive C. CALLERID by Paul Lyon - Keeps track of incoming calls by displaying the number (as the phone rings) and the name of the caller (if the caller is known and in your database. Your call log can be saved to disk or printed out. You can even automatically block calls from certain numbers! In order to use this program you will require a modem with Caller ID support and a telephone service provider who supports Caller ID (BT does, at a cost). This software essentially replaces the standalone Caller ID hardware units. This Shareware version has limitations, register for the full version. FIRECALL V0.70 by Christian Andersson - Another program with the same function as Paul Lyon's CallerID (above). This one is better presented but currently unfinished. Both are very similar in functionality. System requirements same as above. MISSING LINK GAMES - A batch of games from Top Notch software, which are designed to show off their Missing Link extension to the STOS programming language. Programs include FRANK AND THE LOST AUBERGINE - A multi-directional scrolling platform game. Collect the diamonds and find the exit to the next level. Features very fast scrolling. Try not to blow yourself up too often! Can you find the cheat mode? THE RACE - A one or two player game where you drive a racecar around a track. Uses a split screen display. BALLS - An Asteroid type game where you have to destroy the 3D balls moving towards you. Beware, they split up into smaller ones when you hit them! VIOLENT DEATH - A fast action horizontal shoot 'em up. Manoevre your spacecraft through the caverns, shooting or dodging everything that moves. BEN IN PARADISE - A gauntlet type game. Everywhere you go, you are followed by masses of aliens. Destroy them or avoid them, otherwise they'll destroy you! A number of demos and example programs are also on disk. The Missing Link is also on disk. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are SBAGFUL SFACE SLIST SSLEIGH SWINDOW HOMESAVE ICEGOAL LAYUP QTRBACK RACECAR SWIMDIVE BALLOON BIKEIVAR CAROLD SAILSHIP SUPERWHO TRAIN100 TRAINANG BEERMUG CANDY DAGWOOD FLOUR HORN ICECONE LOBSTER PEARS RASPBERRY WEDDING BOOKOPEN BOYSIGN EGYPT HAND IVY BALLET BOXSEAT CAMERA DANCER GROUP LIGHTSC PIRATE STARSING STARVIO VIOLINS DOWNHILL GOLFSAND GYMBARS IMAGEA-IMAGEN LANDA-LANDI PICA-PICH R_IMAGEA-R_IMAGEN R_LANDA-RLANDI R_PICA-R_PICA-K FRAME01-FRAME05 ICON1-ICON13 OCTOPUS PARROTS. Prime. This is a prediction program based on numbers. It reduces all personal data to numerals. It is based on various theories from no less than Pythagarus himself. It claims to make predictions which can be uncanny at times. Full documentation is included on disk as to how the program operates. This version is pre-release but fully functioning in most aspects. The commercial product will have added features. Prime comes on a single sided disk but needs 1 Meg of memory to run. Whether used seriously or merely for fun its worth getting hold of for your collection. VDOS Proqueue v3.0 - A complete Desktop replacement. All the usual disk and file management functions plus built-in menus with slots for 100 user defined applications and a further 10 from the function keys. Easy to use but not as pretty as Gemini etc. because there's no icons. Reloads itself after executing an application so only really viable with hard disk or RAM disk (around 250k). Also on disk are several useful utilities like line count, disk free space check, Gemstart etc. VDOS is freeware and includes enough documentation to use. The full manual can be bought from author. Disk A has the CP/M operating system on it. This will enable you to run CP/M programs written on other micros Disk B has a host of CP/M utilities . CP/M is fully documented on disk. THE SPRITES PORTFOLIO v2.0 by Eddie Bryan - This disk contains over 600 individual sprites for use in your own games. The artwork is truly outstanding and on a par with that used in the top ST arcade games. Screens are in Degas PI1 format so they can be used easily. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 FONTS - For use in Pagestream or Didot Professional. Fonts are AGATE, BEFFLE, BELLBOT, CALIGULA, CRACKFIR, ELGARRET, ERASEDUS, FRIZQUAD, FUNDRUNK, GISMONDA, HARQUIL, LIVIA, OLD_TOWN. FANTASY MUSIC PLAYER from Morgan Roussel - Multi music file player which is similar to RAZREZ (on MUS.4375) but less stable. GBELL - Loads and plays a sample when a system call (eg; open window, drag etc) is executed. Runs on the STE, TT or Falcon only. THE MIX MACHINE by Dynamite Software - AMOD player with the facility to accept input direct from a sampler at various rates up to CD quality. MIDI support via on-screen 5-octave keyboard. Looks like a powerful program which would be even better had the author thought to include a DOC file! WAVEPLAYER by B Grier - Allows you to play WAV files from the PC on an STE, TT or Falcon. Includes C source. MODEST V1.1 by Great Dane Software - This program is intended to be used as a database for keeping track(?) of all those MOD files. It reads in a directory of MODs and creates a listing of their filenames, the songs contained within each MOD, the composer's name and the file size. If it stopped there it would be little more than a database come disk cataloguing program. Where Modest really scores is that it can analyse all new MODs against the details already on file and help eliminate duplicates which would otherwise be missed because the filenames have been changed. You can analyse and store data on all the common MOD variations. Several MOD types can also be played by Modest in the full version. This Shareware demo is fully functional except that it does not play MODs, nor does it allow you to output your data to disk or printer. Register for the full version. DELUXE PAINT ANIMATIONS - Converted from the PC. FLIGHT 1 - Watch the fighters take off, fly together, then land. Part of a mega animation which includes Flight 2 on DEM.3462C. BALL 2 - A ball swings back and forth and you see its reflection in a mirror. EARTH - A hologram of the spinning globe. The same sort of idea as the BBC globe animation. Flight 1 needs 1 Meg, the others run on a 520. GFA SOURCE DISK 6 - The third disk in the 1993 series. It differs from the first two in that it appears to be more orientated towards programming using graphics, or possibly leisure applications. A number of simple games are included, such as a battleships clone, a surprisingly good fruit machine type game and a game that essentially imitates the old repeat the musical pattern game, "Simon". Other source code covers using vectors, adding colour to text output, various routines to demonstrate SIN, COS and TAN by plotting them on screen, examples of fast searching of arrays, switching screen resolutions, drawing shapes, creating fractal mountains, and bouncing a cube around the screen. All the source code is in GFA Basic v2 format, either as LST or BAS files. Also on this disk is GFA v3 code which contains an example of how to accelerate screen output using a supplied assembly routine.

AEO has literally hours of reading material to keep you up-to-date with all the latest Atari news in these issues. Each separate issue is about 250K long! I would highly recommend this diskmag to anyone. It is very profesionally produced and is an excellent source of information. files with player program . The tunes on disk are DELTA2, KREUGER, OPERATIN and X2_REMIX. STAR VOYAGE V1.1 by Croft Soft Software - This is a Star Trek inspired game (though the names have been changed to protect the innocent!). The Rumolans and Klongins have formed an alliance against the Federation. Their ships outnumber the Federation's and conflict is inevitable. This is a two player, two joystick game. One player takes on the role of the Federation, the other the Alliance. Although the scenery changes from one engagement to the next, the aim is the same, to destroy your opponent before he does likewise. You take turns of being the defending and attacking ship, but you can both fire simultaneously. It usually takes more hits to destroy the defending ship than the attacker, hence the continual swapping of roles. Stereo samples throughout. Not exactly a fast action game but can be quite challenging dependent on who you are playing against. One of very few games which supports the use of two joysticks. Needs 1 Mb, STE ONLY. CRAZY CHIPPIE DEMO by FUN - A collection of over 200 short tunes crammed onto one disk and presented in a tape-deck type interface with all the usual controls. The selection is most re-arranged chip music from old ST games and demos but there s also TV theme tunes and pop tunes too. All are in standard MOD format and can be played at 12 25 or 50Khz with the supplied player or indeed any good MOD player. Over 200 MODs on one disk I can t believe it either THE BACKGROUND MUSIC UTILITY by Richard Karsmakers - An accessory which plays music while you work, regardless of whatever else you're doing on the computer. It has 58 tunes built in. These range from classical to The Muppets with The Beatles thrown in too! CHORD - A demo version of the Chord Dictionary by John Woods. The demo is restricted to major, minor and 7th chords in 12 keys. The full version has 1200 chords, which are listed in the demo but not selectable. OCTALYSER V0.96 by New Trend - An eight channel soundtracker program. The sampler/sample editor, MIDI options and ability to load sound samples and a few other bits and pieces will be included in the registered version. Octalyser supports Noisetracker 15 sample and 30 sample formats using 4 channels, an expanded Noisetracker format which uses 8 channels, Startrekker Amiga 31 sample formats with 4 or 8 channels, Octalyser Amiga 31 sample 4, 6 or 8 channel formats as well as its own! It also allows the use of UMP modules which, when applied to standard MOD files, allows you to hear them at 50khz in 16-bit stereo. This is the only tracker program which allows you to replay sounds which were sampled at 50khz (the others are limited to about 30khz). Octalyser has an extensive manual on disk as well as on-line help from within the program. As Octalyser is no longer being developed, the authors are allowing this registered version to be freely distributed. STE ONLY.

You can only use the lift number corresponding to that on the dice. MAP90 - Draws up a map of GB and/or Ireland. NAMEDROP - Gives the meanings of over 300 first names. Lifts and Keyboard Capers are low res only but the others will run in mono or colour TOWERS by JV Enterprises - You have been shipwrecked off the shores of a mystical land. Yourself and your crew have been rescued by a wizard and brought ashore. You are made welcome as you attempt to rebuilt your ship and set sail. The island is governed by numerous lords who live in tall towers, the taller the tower, the wealthier its occupant. One of the lords has not been seen for some time and, in an attempt to earn some desparately needed cash, your shipmates accept a mission to check on his well being. As they enter the tower, the entrance crumbles behind them and you have no idea whether they are alive or dead. You must gain access to the tower and rescue your friends in this enthralling one or two player Dungeon Master clone. Needs 1 Meg for a one player game, 2 Meg for a 2 player game. Towers can be installed on a hard drive. A working demo of CAD-3D . Many structures have been created and saved on disk. Unfortunately program and documentation is in German. Runs in high or med res. Demo of PCB Designer from Abacus Software. Many example circuit boards are available on disk. Fully functioning but with the save facility disabled. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are DELTA JACK MEGA OKS RALLY RIPPED SONG THIEVES AXEL_F EMULATOR LESSONS MIXEN2 MONDAY OUTRUN SLEEP TWO_WEEK. TCB Tracker modules disk 29 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are TUNE, FYC, TRICKMIX, BLACKMOR, CEBIT. TWIST II by HiSoft - A well presented relational database which uses the modern face of GEM . Almost everything can be customised to suit your individual needs and each database is contained within its own GEM window containing its own drop down menus on the Twist Desktop. The demo is restricted to saving databases containing less than 10 records and does not print out. Well worth checking out.

QUICK BBS V1.10 - An excellent Shareware package from Holland. You have everything you need to run your own bulletin board. It is entirely menu driven and all menus can be set up to suit by the sysop. Quick BBS automatically detects incoming calls and switches your modem to the correct baud rate. It operates in VT52 or ANSI mode and automatically switches to download mode if a Zmodem signal is detected. You can even switch to BBS mode during a voice call to save the caller from having to call back. The system supports the Jekyll bi-modem protocol as well as the usual XModem, YModem, Zmodem and variants of these. Up to 200 message areas and an unlimited amount of file areas can be set up. Quick BBS is fully FidoNet compatible, linking your BBS to 20000 others worldwide. There's well over 300K of docs on disk and the entire system takes up around 1000K on your hard drive (excluding the docs) once installed. Requires 1 Meg, a hard drive and a Hayes compatible modem. MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Intercepts GEM dialog boxes and puts them into a GEM window. The result of this is that you can access the menu bar or other applications while a dialog box is being displayed. This is of course most useful under Multi-TOS. EPSON STYLUS V2.05 by B Noonan - A 720 dpi Stylus Colour printer driver for use with PageStream. MENUINFO V2.42 by Dirk Hagedorn - Displays a caps lock indicator shows if files have been accessed on your hard drive auto tops the window beneath the mouse activates a screen blanker after a specified period of inactivity forces screen redraws has a built-in alarm clock facility opens a table of the ASCII character set and so forth. In addition MenuInfo can be customised to display the messages you want it to show eg date/time mouse coordinates largest block of free memory etc. You can even specify how you want the time/date displayed and add various other trivia such as TOS version AES version Cookie Jar size MagiC version scancode of last key pressed etc in the menu bar too Runs as a PRG under Multi-TOS or as an ACC under normal TOS. Info is normally displayed at the top right of the GEM Desktop in the menu bar but can optionally be output to a GEM window. NAME NET 4.2 by Roger Derry - A welcome upgrade to this popular Shareware electronic address book. Unlike most database type programs NameNet is not merely a computerised card index system. It works by way of links. Initially a link is useful in reminding you that a specific entry is linked to another. However as the database expands each entry may be linked to several groups so that you can locate someone by name by occupation by membership of a specific club etc. The good thing is that if the individual moves house his entry in all sections is updated. Similarly if the club moves all references to its address on members entries are updated. All entries are categorised by type Person Business Service etc and different icons represent different types. Another useful feature is its sorting ability. If two or more entries with the same surname are found they are then sub-ordered by first name something most other databases ignore. NameNet is GEM based and designed with ease of use in mind. Everything can be done with just a few clicks of the mouse and sub-groups can sent to the printer just as easily. There s even an on-line Help system. Data can be imported and exported in ASCII format and both mailing labels and filofax compatible printout can be output from NameNet in addition to simple printout of data. A very well thought out and professionally presented program. An ACC version allows you to view data from within other programs. ORCS Otto s RCS by Thornsten Otto - A Resource Construction Set which claims to be better than WERCS K-Resource and Atari s own RCS2. These claims are easily backed up Despite being written for the ST ORCS is fully Falcon compatible and indeed one of the most fully featured packages of its type. The docs are in both English and German and all menus are in English. WPG V0.5 by Robert Best - Allows you to load and view graphics in Word Perfect v5 v6 WPG format. They can also be resaved in IMG format. CD RECORDER V1.02 by Dirk Haun - Lets you record audio samples from audio CDs and save them directly to your hard drive in WAV or AVR format. The samples can be 8-bit or 16-bit stereo or mono and can be sampled at 22 khz or 44 khz. Needs a CD-ROM drive appropriate driver software MetaDOS or ExtenDOS and a device driver which supports audio commands such as FALCON.BOS . Multi-TOS compatible. Program and docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. CD PLAY_Y - An audio CD player for use with MetaDOS. Rename the _Y to reflect the drive letter which represents your own CD-ROM drive. TeX On The ST. This is a typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. AS ABOVE Contains disk one and two of the above for those who do not need the Mega ST patch or the STOS source code. MISCELLANEOUS GIF PICTURES - A varied collection of pictures ranging from fresh raspberries to a beautiful sunset Files are F ALCON HUSKIE RASPS SNOWPEAK SUNCYCLE. Viewer program supplied. MAGGIE 24 - Released at the October 1997 Atari Shows. As usual, it's absolutely packed with all things Atari and much more besides.

MEDICAL CLIP ART VOL 4 - More medical clips in IMG format. Files are MADWOMAN, MOUTH, QUACKBOX, SCALES, SCROTUM, SKINPROB, SUCCUBII, TWITCH, XOCHIPL2. STOS FRIEND CHIP #5 by Take-5-Team - Another issue of this STOS based disk mag. Unlike STOSSER, Friend Chip really a shell for programming routines rather than being a 'magazine'. Just choose the topic of interest and the routine will be demonstrated, picture displayed or music played. This issue features 6 sound chip tunes, a module, 7 sound samples (of screams!), 9 pictures, a sprite bank, a font bank, 3 STOS ACBs, a few sub- routines, the STARS extension, 12 complete STOS sources (mainly demos) and the source to a fruit machine games. Plenty to keep the average STOS programmer going for a few weeks. PINBALL ILLUSIONS DEMO by MUG UK - Five excellent pieces of music from the Amiga game Pinball Dreams, selectable from a main menu. If you have enough memory (2 Mb or more), everything is loaded into RAM. Fully hard drive compatible and the music plays in stereo if running on an STE. Needs 1 Mb. The Avengers Megademo - Gateway to Hexenland. A superb megademo with a similar main menu to the Mindbomb Demo and the ULM Megademo. Use the cursor keys to control the 'sexy sorcerer!'. Press Space to enter each of the 12 sub demos (yes, there's a hidden one) or reset to see the reset demo! If you're lazy, just sit back and watch the demo autorun! Incredible coding from a new continental group. DNT PAPER 2 by the DNT crew - Another issue of the bi-lingual disk mag from France, and I'm glad to say that there are now more English articles than French in this highly polished magazine. The user interface remains of the same high quality of the first, as do the articles. Another multitude of music makes for pleasant listening too. Article wise, there's reviews of Vroom, Fascination, Rodland and an EPIC review/preview. There are guides on 68000 assembly, graphic equalizers in GFA Basic & more. A review of the ICC #2 and other little stories make a good balance of articles. On disk there is a delightful ram disk program, a hugely modified and improved version of Noisetracker (called Digi Composer) and lots more stuff. If you get stuck trying to read the French articles, then why not use the supplied English-French dictionary? MR MUSIC - A sample player with routines to convert song and voice sets from Quartet. Includes a demo program with sample "tune" and parallax scrolling. There are docs on the Mr Music file format and how to incorporate Mr Music files into your own programs. It should be noted that the files on disk are source files in GFA Basic and assembler only. There is not an executable player program. SNDSHOW2 - Sound and Vision Slide Show. Shows pictures on all 3 screen resolutions (Degas format). If a sample with the same name as the picture is found, it will be played whilst the picture is on screen. TRIMOD - The Trisound Converter. Converts a Lynx Trisound song and voice set to a Count Zero compatible music file. SOUND MERLIN by Tommy Software - Yet another commercial product, re-released as Shareware. Sound Merlin is sound sampling software which can be used with most (if not all) sound sampler cartridges on the market. It gives the user greater control over the sampling than many of its competitors. The program is in English but the docs are German. Would anyone like to translate? FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 29 - Three more excellent animations for you to enjoy. Player program supplied. CONTACST - Seems to be another advert for the same BBS as on FALC.4561. Hoever this is a completely different animation where 3D lettering rotates through 180 degrees and there s plenty more going on on screen too. Really needs 4 Meg but will play from disk if you have less. LIBELUL - A really stunning animation of a dragonfly hovering over a pond with the water rippling in the background. MOONRUN - A fighter plane flying across a mountainous backdrop. First Word by GST . This program was the first GEM based word processor for the ST and was given free with all STs sold in the first few years of the ST. This is an excellent program giving true WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). First Word is so easy to learn that it is a must for all new ST users. 1st-Drvr - for multiple copies of 1st Word Doc files. In both PRG & ACC formats. 1st-Snd - a word search program. A4 Sizer - an accessory for printers which do not allow the use of A4 continuous stationery. Double - a program to reformat a listing from one to two columns, for printing. Index plus - a disk cataloguing program. Unfortunately it is mono only - and in German! Large print - this prints large letters sideways. Ideal for posters etc. Morse Gen - reads in text files and reproduces them in morse code. Speed can be varied from 3 to 30 WPM. NX1000 - a printer driver for the NX1000. Prntdoc - prints 1st Word Doc files. Stevie - a text editor. Typer - turns your printer into a typewriter with various print styles. BBSDEMO by Mark Westguard - A BBS locator program. It displays a map of Britain and you simply click on where you are (or want to search) and all BBSs within a certain range will be found and shown on the map. You can also search by name, print BBS details, set search radius, etc. Only 100 BBSs are included in this demo version. If you register (only £5) the full version has over 400 BBSs and many other functions. NOT TOS 2 upwards. EMAILLST by Achim Wilhelm - A directory of all German programmers available on Mausnet (a large hobbyist network in Germany). Includes both the Mausnet and Internet addresses. GSZRZ v6.6 by Michael Ziegler - X/Y/Z-Modem send and receive programs for ST and TT. All docs in German. V4 is available from the author with English docs. Reputed to be one of the fastest Z-Modem utilities around. HSMODEM7 - A collection of modular serial port patches for the ST, TT and Falcon. Allows very high serial port speeds up to 57600 baud, or 115200 baud with a hardware modification. As well as fixing various hardware bugs on the serial port, HS Modem also gives a faster throughput even with slower modems due to the removal of the bottleneck caused by the restricted port speed. Also increases communication speed via the Midi ports. Now with English docs and an easy to use setup program. INTERACTION #1 - Previously produced on paper, this diskzine has a strong following throughout the world. It is already well established and supported by many, with John Weller (previously of STEN) handling the British ST side of things. Art makes up most of the subject matter and this issue includes an impressive portfolio by Mark Jay, which can be viewed using Speed of Light (included on disk). There are lots of other pictures on disk, mostly in GIF format. There's in-depth interviews with Chris Grottick, Jay Jopling and Claudio Marra, as well as some poetry. The classified section has a host of projects for you to get involved in, including lots of mail art advertisements with promises that all entries will be included in a future issue. There's articles on Using Scanners, Chaotic Art, Photography and Computer Art, to mention but a few. Interaction is a quarterly publication. It provides a fascinating insight into the world of art and is highly recommended for artist, poets or in fact anyone who just wants a good and interesting read. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are MACBRDRS MACE1 MACE2 MACMOUSE MACOMIX MACS MACS2 MADONNA MAGGLASS MAGIC MAGRIT MAILMAN MAMAL MANDALA MANDARIN MANDOLIN MANLAD MANLAD2 MANPOWR2 MANRIGHT MANSYM MANUP MAN_1 MAN_BOY MAN_SPK MAPS MAP_COMP MARLYN MARQUE MARQUE2 MARQUE3 MARTINI MARYANANN FLOWER33-FLOWER49 ANIMALPG ANIMAPG2 BIRD BIRDSPG BOXING. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 38 - An enormous animation which is so like-like it makes you cringe DRAGON - A massive winged dragon circles around and quickly zooms towards you. The wing and body movements on the dragon are so well done that you ll almost believe it s real. Watch out for those teeth though Needs 4 Meg. The Better Than Life Demo by ACO and Flair - Takes ages to decompact when first loaded, so don't give up on it. Features 11 sub demos by this relatively new Scottish crew. Select the demos from the main menu using a joystick. Some real clever stuff in this one. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are CHRONOS KEFRENS1 NUMBER1 ODYSSIA OFFICIAL PSYCHO MEMORY MISSION2 NEWDISCO NISSEN TRAPS WOFW ECSTACY ECHOING THUNDRBR. VIP Professional Support Disk 1 . Contains 67 worksheets for use with the program. Most are designed for business use. SECOND WORLD WAR by Jim Fanning - A three disk set based around the events of the last war. The system is run from TCos V1.2 with data arranged on cards, the text and graphics being accessed by active 'buttons'. The TCos system is well documented in terms of structured programming while the set of disks will provide the user with a large collection of TN3 and IMG scans relating to World War 2 (ranging from newspaper clippings to photographs). A useful compilation which is accurately documented. 68KtoGFA -Converts machine code routines to GFA Basic DATA statements. Chekbook - Helps you keep track of your current account (im)balance. DCDskinf - Reports info on drives (including hard). Gives size, % used, files & folders and graphical disk utilisation showing fragmentation.

Many extras over the standard eg; drive buttons, sort options etc. Notepad - Mini accessory. Unfortunately you can't save what you write. Selector - Auto program which lets you select any 6 ACCs from 48 at boot time. Xlate - Converts documents from ASCII to 1st Word format. 8to16 - Switches the Mega STE from 8Mzh to 16Mzh on bootup to reduce booting time. Documentation includes some technical info on the Mega STE. TOS205FX - Fixes a bug in XBIOS 5 in the Mega STE ROM which controls setting screen addresses and changing resolution. Fix GDOS - Fixes the bug in GDOS which prevents some programs from running with GDOS installed. Filechk - Checks file lengths and checksums for infection by link viruses.

For use with DC Desktop only. FS1_02 - Calls up file selector. Makes extra facilities in replacement file selectors (like UIS, Little Green etc) available from Desktop. Fujidesk - Puts rotating Fuji symbol in Desktop menu bar. No earthly use but pretty damn clever. Monomon - Disk editor/formatter/copier. Works with hard disks but 16MB partitions max. Mono only. Mortgage - Calculates loan payments and allows for early repayment. It is American so there's no allowance for UK tax relief. Rhocon - Replacement control panel. Features as original but with clock, mouse accelerator, reboot etc. AWK - ST version of Unix report generator. High level language. No docs, so requires access to Unix documentation. Anyone with typing skills and time can contact Terry Billany. Seems very close to the original. Perl - Practical Extraction & Report Language. 200k+ of code and 200k+ of documentation! Sound knowledge of Unix assumed as well as lots of RAM. Superboot v8.1 - An update on the bootup configuration program on UTL.332. lets you choose which accessories, auto folder programs, assign.sys files for GDOS etc. You can have up to 152 files of each type and select from up to 19 diffrent DESKTOP.INF files!

Now compatible with the Mega STE, TT, large screen monitors and overscan. ST+ #23 CHRISTMAS 1997 - The last full issue of ST+ diskzine, prior to changing to a paper based publication. The news section looks at the release of Mole Mayhem, a game in development from Silly Software, the closure of ST Highway and Oregon Research. Reviews are of KELAUG #5 (ST), Thing v1.09 (any Atari), Running (Falcon), Zarlor Mercenary, Xenophobe and Xybots (all Lynx), TOSBOX , Quake, Duke Nukem 3D Atomix (PC) and MagiCMac. Beginners Corner features a guide DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF files and The Jargon Busting Dictionary. The STOS section gives a brief history of STOS, has a tutorial of STOS ACBs and part 6 of the Space Invaders game tutorial. The Sci-Fi Channel, and TV Tunnel give an insight into non-computing matters. Other features include adverts, letters and the latest demo scene news. There's a lot more than the above, we just don't have space to mention all 90+ articles! Equinox Soundtracker Player . Files are BLAZDEMO1, BEATITUP, GSCTHM10, GSCTHM15, SLL1, SLL2, SLL3, SLL4, SLL5, SLL6, SLL7, SLL8 and SLL9. ATAX - Battle through a variety of terrains avoiding enemy ships and the hostile landscape in this vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. Features colourful graphics and great sound effects. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are ERIEN, FOOD!, FRANKGOI, FRANKGON, FRANKGOT, FREEPRTN, FRIZQUA1, FRNKSTNN, FTLTLT, FUJIB, FUJII, FUJIN, FUJIT, FUNDRUN1, GATINEAB, GATINEAI, GATINEAN, GATINEAT, GRC_____. PARALLEL COPY V3.21 by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to connect an Atari to a PC via the parallel port. This is an early release but supports the sending and receiving of files between any TOS based computer (from ST to Hades!) and any PC (from an XT to a Pentium) at around five times the speed supported by Ghostlink (UTL.4410). It doesn't give you virtual drives in the clever way that Ghostlink does, but it's VERY fast at throwing large files across from one machine to the other. It is also possible to connect Atari to Atari and PC to PC. Software and cable diagrams (yes, you'll need to make up the cable yourself!) for both machines/transfer options is included. PASSTHRU V2.71 by Florian Erhard - A useful program which extends the ability of the Install Application option on the GEM Desktop. Passthru lets you double-click any (listed) filetype and its creator program is invoked. The necessary parameters are then passed to the creator program prior to launching it. The parameter passed depends on which key(s) you are holding down when you double-click the data file. This application is functionally very similar to Applier (on UTL.5291) but fixes some problems which cause lengthy error reports. It also extends functionality beyond that of its predecessor. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation. RAMSCH-RSC by Rainer Schmid - A resource file editor. Runs in medium or high res and has all the usual features and a few extras too, such as a built-in icon editor and GEM clipboard support. Well presented program but both program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. SUPER DIRECTORY DATA FILE READER V1.2 by Catspaw Software - Reads a Super Directory (a program by Michtron) data file and outputs it to screen, printer or disk. The disk output is in pure ASCII and therefore suitable for importing into any word processor. It was essentially developed as a means by which Super Directory users could give their data files to others who did not own a copy of the program. CODING SO FAR by The Megabusters - A two disk demo from a French based crew. This demo is different in that the disks may be used independently or together. The menu is present on both disks so it does not matter which disk you load first. It requires user interaction, in that you have to go around the screens entering the mushroom type cottages to access the demos. The cottages often contain more than one screen and sometimes have hidden screens. The demo screens themselves have all the usual graphics effects and multi-coloured full screen scrollers. There is even a scroller which goes around a maze (viewed from above). The famous balls that zoom around the screens making patterns, also make a customary appearance. There are also some games, several of which are hidden. More data disks are promised as add ons to this demo so it's not all over yet! Highly recommended. THE NIGEL SCOTT COLLECTION DISK 17 GARDEN SCENERY - A collection of 12 JPEGs created from original photographs by Nigel Scott. One of a series of disks from a professional photographer. Not to be missed. Files are NSA71 NSB50 NSF31 NSF65 NSG47 NSG48 NSG49 NSG50 NSH08 NSI25 NSI55 NSJ78. SIDE LONG by Gary Wheaton - You control a spaceship in this horizontal scrolling game and it is your job to guide the ship safely through a countless number of tunnels at break neck speed. Your guns help to destroy the rocks and other ships as you fly along, but quick reflexes are a must. A must for fans of fast moving arcade style action. CYBERSTORM by Kathy Steinbach - Defender/dropzone at its most frenetic. Great music, awesome sound effects, ultra-smooth horizontal scrolling, cloaks, smart bombs, radar, stranded scientists, psychedelic explosions, they're all there! A real Budgie masterpiece with music by the Shapeshifters.This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey - Outputs an ASCII listing of all fonts in a specified directory. It supports TrueType, Calamus, Calligrapher, PostScript Types 1 & 3, GDOS, SpeedoGDOS (BitStream), GhostScript, PageStream and Compugraphic font formats. It outputs full pathname, file type, file name and full font name (especially useful with SpeedoGDOS fonts where the filename bears no relationship to the font name. The output file is formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database programs. NO TASTE V1.3 - Writes a customised bootsector to your startup floppy. Running on TOS 2.xx it simulates a keypress in order to abort the automatic memory test. On earlier TOS versions you can adjust the floppy disk steprate for A or B so as to allow HD disks to be accessed correctly without installing a separate patch (TOS 2.xx has this feature built-in). On all TOS versions, you can specify the time delay before your hard drive is accessed (in order to let it get up to speed). PROGINFO v1.7 by Chris Ridd - A CPX which allows you to tamper with program header flags. You can set up Multi-TOS parameters and alternative memory settings as well as switched the fastload bit on/off. Very highly recommended. SUBSAVE 0.3b by Eniac of DRB - A cheat program which allows you to alter the data (game level, health and armoury) in saved Substation games. Now in English. BAVARIAN EVENT MANAGER V1.06 by Michael Pieper - A sort of Calendar/reminder type program which offers a few extras. These include the ability to launch certain programs at specified times, carry out pre-defined tasks and such like. It can watch for data on the AUX, MODEM1, MODEM2, MODEM3, MODEM4 and MIDI ports and take appropriate action as specified in your setup. The program is really designed for use under Multi-TOS or MagiC but can also run as an ACC under single TOS. Looks very useful but both program and docs are in German (although we've done a RUF translation of the docs). Would anyone like to undertake a full translation? ANTIDOTE V3.7 by Kai Holst - A comprehensive virus killer program, in fact one of the best. It recognises 211 harmless bootsectors, 155 resident programs, 64 cookie identifiers, 6 anti-viruses, 21 file packers/archivers, 64 bootsector viruses and 5 link viruses. In addition, it performs a full system analysis and leeks you peek inside the cookie jar. It's not quite UVK, but it's damned close to it! Little Smalltalk . As documented in articles in PCW December 1987 for four issues. Documented on disk, but cannot be fully appreciated without the official operator's manual from Smalltalk Exchange in London. Disk includes many demos. CHAOS - A game of combat between 2 to 8 wizards, each takes turns to cast spells in an attempt to destroy his opponents and so be the last wizard left alive. DUCKDASH - As Danny Duck it is your task to protect Farmer Floyd's farmyard from mutant creatures. You do this by collecting eggs and avoiding the mutants. An excellent little game. NEO_PAT1 by Lou Trapani - A collection of patterns suitable for use to create a Desktop backdrop for NEODesk 4, Deskpic and similar programs. Some are in 256 colours and others in True Colour format. POLYSTAR by David Fright - Originally designed to create multi-pointed stars for DTP work, Polystar has evolved into a drawing program in its own right. It offers such unusual tools as star, petals and spiral as well as implementing many of the usual ones. Polystar is a fun program to use, offering several new features over those expected from this type of package. It loads and saves Degas format pictures. SPECTRA by Andrew Sage - An image processing program. It allows you to load up a RAW, TGA or POV RAW 24-bit True Colour picture and display it using 64 greyscales on an STE or 32 on an STFM. You can then lighten, darken, dither, enlarge, reduce or negate your picture. In addition, you can also carry out individual pixel editing in zoom mode. All processes may be applied to the entire picture or to user defined areas. What's more, although the picture has been colour reduced for display purposes, the 'real' picture in memory has not. This means that you save back a True Colour image rather than a greyscale one! Edited RAWs and TGAs not exceeding 320x200 in size may be viewed in colour using Photochrome on ART.3303C. SPECSHOW v1.10 by Neil Halliday - A small program which can be called up by STOS Basic in order to let you display Spectrum 512 pictures (in full colour) within your own STOS Basic programs. Instructions are given and a sample .BAS file and SPC picture is also included. ST NEWS THE FINAL COMPENDIUM - Completed on 11th March 1990. An amazing collection of articles and programs from 1986 to 1989 on two disks. You need both disks for the program to work correctly. This is the last compendium issue that will be produced (or so we are told!). This issue chronicles the team's visits to England and Norway in 1989. Games reviewed are Fire & Forget, Star Ray, The President Is Missing, Circus Games, Populous, Populous - The Promised Lands, Ballistix, Rambo III, Airborne Ranger, Savage, Blood Money, Dogs Of War, The Troll, Tracker, Eco, Backlash, Gauntlet 2, Starglider II, Super Hangon, The Last Ninja, To Be On Top, Nebulus, Andes Attack, Gridrunner, Barbarian II, Obliterator, Virus and Rick Dangerous. Serious reviews are of Lattice C, K-Roget, K-Rhymes, Le R‚dacteur, Word Perfect, Superbase Professional, Your Second Manual, Multiface and Multiface II. Adventure solutions to The Pawn, Guild of Thieves, Jinxter, Corruption, Fish, Dungeon Master, Leisure Suit Larry, Leisure Suit Larry II, Battletech and Demon's Winter. In addition, there are countless programming and miscellaneous articles including a reprint of issue 1 of ST News! Font edit, Icon edit, Mouse edit - font, icon and mouse pointer editors written in German. SVU - sector view utility - one of the best disk sector editors around. Control Panel ++ - set clock, modem, printer, screen Hz rate, keyboard click, mouse click, memory info, ramdisk, date, time, dip switches and formatter all in one accessory. Print utility - print ASCII file to screen, disk or printer. VDU 2.4 - an update of the Virus Killer from Strike - a - Light. 13 Desktop accessories - Bigformat, Charset, Cli, Count, Deskman, Help, Loupe, Memfree, Notepad, Puzzle, Puzzle2, Tinytool, Wrdcount. CardST v1.15 by The Dopple-Ganger - An excellent card filing system. It is very similar to a Database but more flexible in data layout. Also included on this disk are a couple of fractal based landscape generators. MGIF v5.0 by Johan Klockars - A major upgrade on what used to be a GIF viewer program for mono monitors. Nowadays it s a fully fledged image processing package Perhaps what made it popular in the past was its ability to give the appearance of true greyscale display on a mere monochrome monitor. This has of course been retained. MGIF now runs in any resolution right up to True Colour and preserves the colour depth of your image regardless of current screen resolution. It allows processing on single colour channels or the combined RGB structure as a whole. MGIF supports the loading of GIF TGA PPM PI1 PI2 AIM and X IMG formats in addition to its own custom format. It saves in GIF TGA PPM X IMG and its own file formats. A number of useful filters such as blur median dilation erosion and pixelise are supported as well as the ability to brighten and contrast your image. Other useful features such as re-sizing and mirroring are also supported. Includes a fair amount of documentation in ST-Guide on FALC.4782 format. FRACT ME V1.0 by Benny Jurt - Yet another fractal graphics generator. This one uses the 68030 CPU 68882 FPU and DSP as required to achieve faster calculations. Dependent on the type of algorithm needed to perform the calculation Fract Me chooses which processor or processors will be used. The program supports the common Mandelbrot and Julia sets and allows you to load and render pre-calculated fractal scenes or design your own from scratch. Just to spice things up fractal animations are also supported with an example supplied on disk. Several completed fractal scenes are included on disk and are truly unbelievable in quality. The program runs in any resolution but only sup ports the editing of fractals created in that resolution. For best effect run in any 256 colour mode. Regrettably the program is in German and there s no docs so it s a bit of an uphill struggle. However if you re into fractals it s worth the struggle to achieve some outstanding results. ALPHA v1.2 by Trisometric Developments - An easy to use shell program which links several different viewer programs together. The system allows to to view images in GIF TGA JPG NEO DOO MUR IFF BMP MAC MPT and Degas formats. You can also view MPEG and FLI animations or listen to MOD music or AVR sound samples. Alpha is not GEM based so it is able to jump to the appropriate resolution to view the selected graphic without having to resort to colour reducing it to the current screen resolution. The necessary file viewers/players are included with Alpha. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. Runs on a 1 Mb machine but will need 4 Mb in order to display many 256 colour and True Colour images. MUSIC COMPILATION 2 by Independent - A compilation of the seven highest scoring original MOD files created for the Fried Bits II demo competition. All pieces of music are excellent as are the accompanying pictures most of which are fantasy type artwork by Boris Valejo and others. An amusing departure from this is a characature of Helmut Kohl with A.L.FALC. by his side All in all a great disk. Needs 4 Meg but tight for memory even on a 4 Meg machine so you ll have to boot up without any Auto programs or ACCs. ADULT Only. THE HYPERBLIT DEMO by DML of The Pixel Twins - A superb demo of 3D vector balls (perhaps the best) which includes a mirrored effect. Superb on an ordinary ST but even better on the STE with even smoother scrolling. If you have a 1 Meg STE you even get a stereo soundtrack! Both STFM and STE versions on disk. E-Plan - A very capable PD program which draws circuit diagrams. Star NL-10 Font Design Package for NLQ Fonts. This program allows you to design fonts and download them to the printer. Many alternative fonts are supplied on disk. Full manual on disk in 1st Word Format. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are 1STSHOCK, 999, CHARLMIX, EQUINOXE, QUEEN. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. Play It and 8 more samples . Files are ATTENTIO, DEADJIM, DESTRUCT, DOWNDOWN, ALLTHEAN, STOOGE1, SONARPIN and SCIFI.

Only three levels are accessible at first. You must register with the author to get the codes for the other levels. MYSTIC MIRROR by Jim Todd - In a land far away a powerful wizard enchanted his life force into a golden skull and proclaimed himself to be a god. Then in a display of his malevolence he conquered the citadel known as the Mystic Mirror. You play the part of an adventurer who has vowed to defeat his evil plans and prevent the destruction of your world. You may play a solitaire adventure or you may play with a friend. It is even possible to have a partner join later in the game An excellent game similar in style to Dungeon Master. A must for all Dungeon Master and Chaos fans. SOLITAIRE - Not the card game the game played with beads in which you use skill to clear the board. SPECTRAL SORCERY - A unique board game for one or two players. The aim is to jump on squares or cast spells to turn all squares to your colour. The colour changes each time you jump on a square so make sure you change it to the correct colour. Obviously your opponent is trying to do the same. One of the best strategy games around. Full instructions within the program. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 43 - Two superb 256 colour animations. DRAGCAVE - Our unfriendly winged dragon from FALC.5140 flies through a dark spotlight illuminated cave and out into the night sky. Classic animated raytraced graphics.

GRAFIX ART by Silly Software - This was the art package which was originally to be bundled with their "Grafix - The Easy Way" graphics tutorial package. It works in a similar manner to Degas Elite with the tools on one screen and your work on another, the right mouse button flipping between them. Grafix supports up to 9 workscreens and loads and saves images in PI1, NEO and its own formats.Its tools are limited in that only ellipse, triangle, box, line, k-line, rays, brush, fill, spray, zoom and freehand drawing are supported. Having said that, the ability to resize blocks prior to pasting is a nice touch. All in all, a nice easy to use package ideally suited to beginners. MORPHING V1.05 by Moise Valvassori - As the name suggests, this programs lets you morph one image into another by generating the in between frames and creating an animation. You can specify how many frames should be generated, the more frames, the longer it takes to generate and the more memory/disk space is needed. Having said that, more frames results in smoother animations. It uses a different method to Apex Media, employing the use of a user-defined grid to control the process. The only limitations seems to be that it only works with 24-bit TGA images and it's very slow. Runs in low resolution. Don't be put off by the poor picture display on screen, the actual morph is done in 16.7 million colours! The animation is saved to disk as a series of 24-bit TGA files. These can be stitched into an animation using MPEG FEVER on ART.5471 or GIF2FLI on ART.5625 (although you'd need to convert them to GIF first). The results are amazing, even on the default settings. Both program and docs are in French, but everything is obvious! Needs at least 2Mb, a hard drive and Multi-TOS or MagiC (it does not work correctly under TOS). One of the most innovative releases to date! UPOINT LIGHT - Allows you to communicate with Usenet on a UUCP basis. It is fully GEM based and MultiTOS compatible, and has all the common Usenet areas on a menu. These can be accessed with a single mouse click. The program and all docs are in German.

Data files compressed using Atomik 3.5 may be loaded and played directly from Megatracker. Editing follows the convention used by other soundtracker programs with the exception that the screen scrolls using the mouse to about 2.5 times the normal depth the only way to fit 32 tracks on screen . You can set your keyboard up as a piano or a drum machine and there is no limit to the size of samples which may be used in your compositions. Four impressive MTM modules created with Megatracker are included on disk. This demo has Save and a few other features disabled but is a marvellous MOD player in its own right.

SOUNDMACHINE ST by Tommy Software - Originally a commercial product and now released as Shareware, this is an excellent music composition package. It allows the soundchip and/or sampled sound to be used. Your notes are placed directly onto the stave so you will need to be able to read music to use this program. Numerous samples are provided on disk for use in your own compositions and your musical notation can be printed out. A number of associated programs are also on disk. Soundmachine ST is fully controlled by the mouse and therefore easy to use. Thanks to Bob Pond for the English help, files which should be sufficient to get you started. However, you will need to register with the author for the full documentation (which is available in English). EscAPE PAINT v0.5E by Norman Feske - True colour graphics package with lots of different paste modes real-time zoom custom interface and on-line help. Apart from TGA most of its supported filetypes are rather obscure but it s easy enough to convert anything into TGA format. The tools are pretty basic but what sets EscAPE Paint above so many others is the ability to customise just about every tool or mode to suit something which lets you create your own variations to what s supplied as standard. EscAPE Paint is unique in that it can be launched from any resolution but drawing is always done in True Colour although the tool selection is done in the mode the program was launched from. This is particularly useful if running on a VGA monitor as you can have an 80 column 16 or 256 colour display for selecting the tools and flip into True Colour to carry out the actual drawing and retouching. A modular program with a handful of modules included and docs on how to write your own in assembler . STEREO IMAGE SYSTEM STIS v2.0 by Phillip O Neal - Allows you to create 3D images from True Paint/Prism Paint pictures. These can then be viewed on your screen without special glasses. The images take longer for some people to see than others and it can be quite difficult to focus on your first picture correctly. However if you can successfully see one the rest will come naturally. Several example images are included on disk and print out is supported to Epson compatibles. STIS is no longer restricted to working with 16 colour pictures and runs on any ST STE TT or Falcon. FLICONV - Converts an FLI into FLM format. Be warned FLM files are massive compared to FLIs INFOMPEG V1.0 by Dennis Lee - Returns information such as number of frames screen size average frame in bytes and compression ratio. Really needs to be run from a CLI otherwise output goes off the screen too fast. IMG2PS V0.2 - Converts monochrome IMG files into Postscript EPS format. SCAN IT by Trade IT - A Shareware front end for colour flatbed scanners. The software supports loading of GIF ESM IMG STAD formats and includes a number of image processing and image conversion tools which you can play around with. The saving of images except monochrome is disabled in the version and the scanner drivers are not included although you get the appropriate one for your scanner when you register. Unfortunately both software and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation. FILTER V1.0 by Bartosz Jakub Iljaszewicz - Performs a similar function to the despeckle filter in PhotoShop. In other words it removes regular screen distortions and smoothes the colours. It only reads/writes Targa Type 2 files but is invaluable when working with old photographs. FLI_CONV - Converts an FLI animation into FLM format. Be warned FLM files can be massive. These can be replayed using Lexicor s FLM player also on disk . FLM PLAY by Lexicor - Allows you to play FLM animations commonly found on PC CD ROMs on any ST STE TT or Falcon. GVW_030 - A collection of Falcon specific modules for use with GEM-View. They allow you to load PI9 TPI TRP and TRU formats and save in PI9 format. MANDEL by Robert Stiles - Yet another fractal image generator. This one includes complete C and 68882 assembler sources. Just one catch you must have an FPU fitted in your Falcon. M_PLAYER V2.86 - One of the most versatile multi-media players around. It can handle Quicktime movies with sound AVI animations with sound and the popular FLI/FLC animations. OK so it can t handle every file you throw at it but it has a pretty impressive success rate. Frame rates vary but average out at around 15-25 fps. Also runs on a TT fitted with a NOVA or Crazy Dots 2 card. Needs lots of memory these files can be massive . If you run out of memory you will usually get the animation replayed without sound. TCSNAP v1.51 by Patrice Bensoussan - An ACC based snapshot utility for use in True Colour modes. You can save the entire screen any selected area of a screen or the contents of the top window only. Screens are saved in TG1 also known as coke format. XCOPY-POV V0.9 by Fabrice Grainger - Allows you to make copies of objects created for use with Persistence Of Vision Raytracer v2. Includes very detailed instructions but unfortunately they are in French. DCS by Double Click Software - Assembler routine for loading and displaying a degas or NEO image. METADOSL by Julian Reschke - C sources which provide a Unix-like interface to CD-ROM specific functions bindings for MetaDOS functions and defines and prototypes for MetaDOS functions. PASCAL TO C CONVERTER V1.20 by David Gillespie - Executables and library files needed to convert Pascal source code into GNU C source. You will need to have a working GNU C/GNU C setup in order to use this disk. A number of Pascal examples and their C equivalents are included for comparative purposes. The program is so well designed that most C sources can be compiled without any alteration and those areas which are likely to require human intervention are clearly commented in the source PC1_DPK by Rob Cooper - Assembler source and GFA Basic INLine to load and decompress a Degas PC1 image. TT DIS V1.01 by Brian Gladman - A CLI based disassembler for the TT which handles 68030 and 68882 assembler. You can disassemble as instructions bytes words longwords or characters between any two specified addresses. Files can of course be disassembled as well as memory locations. Specifically written for the TT but also runs on the Falcon. DSPMOD by bITmASTER of TCE - Detailed ASCII file assembler source and DSP routines to enable you to use these excellent DSP based MOD player routines in your own programs. Docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation. MOTOROLA by Bjorn Ove Arthun - A comprehensive document in English on the Motorola 68030 as used in the TT Falcon and PAK. It covers all mneumonics and their meanings addressing modes and assembler syntax instruction assembler syntax instruction cycles table and advice on optimisations. Very thorough coverage with lengthy examples throughout. The Junk Demo by The Care Bears . Stunning 3D graphic effects with a nice boring soundtrack! Bomb the Bass - Another sound demo. ALCHEMIE JUNIOR - A Super Swiss Shareware sequencer. Fully functioning, multi-window GEM based and a serious rival to many commercial programs. Simply too many functions to list. This program, is a major addition to the MIDI Shareware scene. Requires a minimum of 1 Meg memory and a mono monitor. MIDITEST - A program to test the integrity of your MIDI cables. MIDIBOARD - Desk Accessory which graphically represents incoming MIDI data. MIDIMAPS - MIDI manager maps for loading directly into Cubase. MIDITALK - Displays incoming MIDI data on screen, saves and loads data dumps, creates MIDI macros and enables data to be typed in and sent via the MIDI port. Especially useful for MIDI programmers. MKS_50 - Tone and patch editor for the Roland MKS-50 rackmount synth by K Meiere. MINIXFS by S Henson - An alternative filesystem for use under MiNT. As the name suggests, it is fully compatible with the (long defunct) Minix operating system (a Unix clone) and will let you access partitions created using Minix without Minix having to be installed. MinixFS ordinarily supports filenames up to 14 characters in length but can be persuaded to work with 30 or even 62 character filenames (which can contain mixed upper and lower case characters). The file system is much faster at accessing data than TOS, supports huge partition sizes and is more robust than TOS. However, some programs cannot work with long filenames and some disk utilities (such as optimising/defragmenting software) keel over with MinixFS. Having said that, most of the newer MiNT/Multi-TOS compatible software works fine. A file consistency checker and defragmenting tool are included on the disk. Includes enough docs to get you going and full C source code. Please note that MinixFS requires a partition to itself so you will need to repartition your hard drive (or wipe over an existing partition). Also, MinixFS only runs under MiNT (LAN.54) or Multi-TOS. DIGITAL WORLD PART II - Another production by ICE for the STE. This is the followup to DEM.4336C. A small globe of the world spins at the bottom of the screen while a scroller runs underneath the globe. Whilst all this is happening, a well composed MOD plays in the background and some pulsating dots in the middle of the screen appear to try and move to the tune. STE ONLY. CLIPIT VOL2 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format. Files are BUSTOP03, CAMERA01, CANOE01, CAR01, CAR02, CAR03, CHESS01, CHURCH01, CHURCH02, CHURCH03, CHURCH04, CLEFTBLK, CLOWN01, CLOWN03, CLOWN04, CLOWNO2. Spectrum 512 animation . An abstract 3D mathematical animation in 512 colours. Runs at 60hz so is not suitable for many TV sets. Spectrum 512 animation. A 3D cube with a clown and a girl on two faces and a lion on three. The top of the cube opens and closes with a perfectly animated lion's head on it. Runs at 60Hz so is not suitable for many TV sets. Demo of Tax Planner by Digita International . Input your earnings for the year and find out how much tax you should be paying! A number of features are disabled in the demo. Also included on this disk is a digitised sound sequence of Silver and Gold by U2 and a graphics demo in FAST BASIC. FIXAGIF - As its name suggests, this program can examine and rectify any 'non standard' GIF file. It even checks for text info and multi- GIF picture files. GTC74 - 'GIF, TARGA and Co' - An image manipulation program. You can resize, rescale, convert 24 bit to 8 bit and vice versa, there's even a 'special' Photochrome-like display for viewing big pictures in sections. SPC, SPU are also supported and its fairly economical on memory useage. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. MINIDRAF - Despite the name, this is a fairly comprehensive drafting program with all the basic requirements. There's some excellent example files on disk to get you started too. SPRITE WORKS - A simple but very useful sprite designer for creating frame by frame sprites. It is specifically designed with programmers in mind and help is given for including your saved work in your own GFA or assembler programs. It handles both 16 and 32 pixel wide sprites and claims to offer the ease GFA users the ease of use of GFA, with the sprite control of STOS. SOBRIETY by Free Generation Software - A Sokoban clone. You push an arrow around the playing area and collect all the objects on one level to progress to the next. You are playing in a maze where some of the blocks are movable and things are complicated by the fact that it is all too easy to box yourself in. You also have to complete each level within an allocated time. This game is better than most variants as it includes extra bonuses as well as special blocks which may help or hinder your progress. Lots of levels to complete. Game in English, but remember, the Y on a Swedish keyboard is Z on a UK one! GULP V1.2 by Markus Hšvener - An excellent puzzler. Move your ball through various transporters, never knowing where you will emerge. Break free from the transporter network and collect the various bonuses dotted around the board. Loiter too long and you'll lose a life or a few squares will disintegrate, forcing you to jump into infinity! This game requires fast reflexes and includes numerous levels. It's all in German but you'll pick up the logic in minutes. TIC-TAC-TOE v1.01 by Matthew Bacon -Cadenza Software have done it again. This excellent noughts and crosses game is impressive in presentation, multi-tasking friendly and lets you play against a friend or the computer (a worthy opponent). Perhaps the best game of noughts and crosses you'll ever play! CLIPART (BIRDS & CATS) IN IMG FORMAT for use in DTP. Files are (BIRDS) 2PENQUIN, AVOCETT, BALDEAGL, BARN_OWL, BIRD, BLUETIT, CANAGOOS, COCKATOO, EAGLE1, EGRET, FALCONS1, FALCONS2, LOON, MNYPENQN, OWLFLYNG, OWL_LGE, PENGUIN, PENQBABY, PHEASANT, SEA_BIRD, (CATS) CAT1, CAT10, CAT2, CAT3, CAT4, CAT5, CAT6, CAT7, CAT8, CAT9, CATCHEF, CATFACE1, CATFACE2, CHILDCAT, KITTY, KITTY2, MAD_CAT, MTN_LION, PUSSYCAT, SLEPYCAT, TIGERCAT BCTREE - B-Tree and ISAM database management libraries for Alcyon, Megamax and MWC compilers (Alcyon version should be OK for Sozobon).

There's also a set of diffs to patch the compiler source to run under BSD Unix. TMYCIN - A simple expert system shell for XLISP 2.0. WINDOW C - A short C sample which opens a GEM window. DBA MAG #6 (Sept '92) by The Disk Busters Association . Another two disk set and I'm afraid you need both disks. This issue features a massive 24 interviews with demo writers and a program on disk which interviews you! There are 11 pieces of music to listen to and all the regulars like the GFA, assembler and STOS programming stuff, demo news, pop news, Hi-Fi corner, jokes, poems, CD reviews and so on. The intro to the mag is one of the best I've ever seen. It was written by Synergy and the first disk would be worth getting for this alone, never mind the other software on disk or the disk mag itself! Programs on disk include a cracked version of the demo 'My Socks Are Weapons', a great bootsector maker/ripper, a fixer to make The Megatizer (on issue 5) run on TOS 1.2, an improved Protracker mod player, a Thesaurus which runs as an ACC, a MOD player which allows you to double click .MOD files to play them, and a couple of 'silly' utilities. The mag itself features articles on BBC Select, the European Union debate, FAST news, computer stories, piracy, user interface design, the ST scene in Finland and comms on the ST. There's a whole section devoted to the Falcon, reports from the Dusseldorf Messe and the SUCC in Finland. There are countless reviews, previews etc and a whole lot more. Once again the usual warning on bad language (although there isn't so much of it in this issue). Needs 1 Meg. DA S VEKTOR - A very powerful vector graphics editor. It allows you to autotrace bitmapped graphics work on your vector graphic in layers and create animations with vector graphics. DA s Vektor supports both mono and colour vector graphics and runs under Multi-TOS. Fully functional except that you cannot save your work. Needs 4 Meg. STUDIO PHOTO PROFESSIONAL by Lexicor - The followup to the highly successful Studio Photo. This latest version imports over 20 file types converts between RGB CYM CYMK and greyscale palettes. There s a host of drawing and retouching tools as well as very powerful filtering options. Images can be projected onto 3D shapes specified colours can be protected from the various processes colour separations can be viewed on screen and masking is now supported. Images may also be zoomed and tools can be used within zoom mode. Apart from save being disabled most other functions are usable in this demo. Unfortunately the program is in French. CYBERDROME - A fully playable demo version of this hoverjet simulator which acts as an introduction to the world of Cyberdrome. The Cyberdrome is a place where people can react directly with intelligent "artificial life" programs using virtual reality simulators. However, the system is now under attack from rogue virus programs. You must use the hoverjet to enter the simulator and destroy the enemy programs. Use the keyboard to manoeuvre around this 3-D world. Do you have what it takes to become a Cybernaut? The full version of the game contains many more missions. Needs 1 Meg. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FURTIATN, FUTB_LFT, FUTCL_LT, FUTL_LT, FUTT_LTY, FUTUR2_2, FUTUR2__, FUTUR4, FUTURA, FUTURA-1, FUTURA-2, FUTURA-3, FUTURA-4, FUTURA-5, FUTURA-6, FUTURA- 7, FUTURA-C, FUTURA1, FUTURA2, FUTURA2-. Cyber Paint animations - Amiba, Rubernek, Saucerb and Tesla. Cyber Paint animations - Behind3d, Bouncer, Freebee, Globe and Outpost. SHARPSCORE V3.2A by Take Control - A top class DTP package for score writing. It lets you place notes directly onto the staves and add text (using the range of fonts and point sizes supported by your system) to your compositions. Your finished work may then be printed out using GDOS. MIDI files may be imported and Sharpscore will automatically convert them into sheet music ready for printing. Similarly, your compositions may be saved as MIDI files and played through the built-in speaker or output via one of a number of sampling cartridges. if you do not have a MIDI instrument attached. This package offers an extensive amount of control over both the composition and DTP side of your music making and is very highly recommended. Please note Sharpscore only runs from floppy and does not exit legally. Also, you should ensure you boot up from the floppy as it contains GDOS fonts necessary for the display of your musical notes. Don't try using Speedo or NVDI unless you know how to get the supplied (bitmap) fonts working with your setup! All save and print functions are disabled in this demo version. Needs 2Mb. Two disk set 3.00. INVASION by Robert Henderson - A STAC adventure game containing over 100 locations, set on a spacecraft lurking behind the moon. Some of these locations have accompanying graphics. Can you save the earth from invasion by alien beings? MINI-ADVENTURE - A small text only adventure. SERENDIPITY - A puzzle game played against the computer where the player has to place coloured counters on a board to make lines of 3. The computer tries to do the same and often wins! Not quite as simple as it sounds and very frustrating. REVENGE OF THE MUTANT CAMELS by Jeff Minter - Yet another top quality Shareware release from Llamasoft. This probably the best shoot 'em up game ever released. It has been enhanced from the original C64 game but the original gameplay has been preserved. This is a game suitable from ages 4 to 104! Special versions with e era features are available to registered users. DOPPY & PRU'S SUMMER HOLIDAY - A humorous text adventure from The Doppel-Ganger. This is the long awaited followup to Asylum on GAM.71. A well written adventure which will keep you amused for hours. Summer Holiday runs in colour or mono. Everything else is colour only. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 22 - Four great 256 colour animations created on the PC. A player program is supplied. BUZZBEE - Watch the goldfish swim around the bowl and then straight out of it A bumble bee follows the fish in amazement as it re-enters the bowl. A classic. DANCER - An animated cartoon of a dancer dancing on a stage. Very well presented. DUST - Watch a pile of dust being sucked up presumably by a vacuum cleaner or something similar. JROT - A greyscale image of a planet rotating. R-DRAW - A drawing program primarily designed for high res use, although it will run in medium. It uses Degas format and this makes it easy to convert your pictures to almost any other format using Picswitch or Tinystuf v4. Pictures can be sent to the printer and you can hold three pictures in ram at any time. Mirror, zoom and black commands are present, as are the usual shapes. Disk manual is provided and extensive help is available from within the program. It is recommended that you have 1 Meg of memory, although the program will run on a 520. PAINTER ST - An excellent mono only drawing package. It is unique in that it assigns each screen to a function key. Both program and instructions are in German. Must be copied out of the folder before it will run correctly. DEGAS IN - Loads in a Degas PI? picture then saves it back in BI? format! This program is in German so I don't fully understand its purpose. SNAPHELP - Allows you to load in files in Degas, Doodle or Mandelbrot formats and save them back as Degas files. PICSWITCH v0.7 - A picture conversion utility which converts from 14 different formats into Degas, Degas compressed or Neochrome. Three colourful graphics demos. Dtsetv4 - another date/time setter. Rezsetv4 - select medium or low res on boot up. Dtrsetv4 - allows you to set date/time and either low or medium res on startup. This utility is a combination of the first two.

You can even add to the dictionary if you find this necessary. Full user manual provided on disk. The source code is also included, although it must be de-arc'd first. Other utilities on the disk include text filters which will remove non-printable control characters to enable the files to be checked and convert program to allow Micro Emacs documents to be loaded into other programs. Count-it - an acc based word counter for text documents. THE LEFT DONUT DEMO by Griff of Electronic Images - This is the main demo on disk being almost 1 Meg in size It starts off with a title screen full of colourful texture mapped donuts. This is followed by a number of solid 3D goraud shaded objects rotated and scaled in real time. The goraud shading is the best yet and an excellent stereo soundtrack accompanies the demo. This demo requires an RGB monitor or a TV and will not run on a 1 Meg machine. dots rotating through both axis in real time. BRAINST - A short animation by Brainstorm. It features a futuristic plane made up from numerous shapes which merge together and then disperse. Everything is texture mapped and light sourced with reflections and shadows. This demo runs in any mode but is at its best in 40 column true colour. It even runs under Multi-TOS THE APRIL FOOL DEMO by DNT - Starts off looking like a screen from a bulletin board with the user entering his ID etc. The demo then loads up and a cute picture is displayed along with the title April Fool! A zany soundtrack follows this and some credits are displayed on a nicely animated screen. Press SPACE to progress to a couple more screens. You are then taken to a game. It is one of those puzzles where you have to form a complete picture by moving the squares around. There's a high score table, instructions, skill levels and you can also call the solution up at any time. If you press Control + 'C' the Jaguar logo appears and a good sampled track is loaded.

Hours of reading material from all sections of the Atari world. BIG LIFE - Based on the 'life generation' cycle of events. The program is GEM based and offers options for single step or a full run of the generation cycle. A display feature allows the size of generations to be set (up to 7 sizes are available). There are about 13O LIF files available for inspection, while the program will also accept IMG pictures. Redrawing is possible as is screen scrolling. Not everyone's choice unless you care to do a statistical anlysis of all 'dot' replication and depletion! NUMANAL - A series of individual calculations are offered on a variety of mathematical subjects as required in GCSE and A Level. These calculations range from f(x), cos(ax + b) where a graph is drawn, sin/cos/tan calculations, curves of a function and several other offerings of this type. Hardcopy is available on a few equations. THE ADMIRABLES GREAT FONT COLLECTION #7 . A collection of 20 fonts from ST demos saved out as Degas PI1 pictures for use within your own games or demos. Clip Art in TNY format . Files are AUTUMN01-07, SPRING01-07, SUMMER 01-07, WINTER 01-07, MAS02-15, XMASART1, XMAS01-07. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are BENNY, D_CHAIN, GO-ALONE, JASON, OBSTICLE, RUNAWAY. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. 2ND LIFE V0.6 by Sander Berents - A fully functional emulator for the Tandy TRS-80 Model III (a Z80 based 8-bit computer) which came out around 1981. It claims to run nearly all Model III software and includes three 'virtual disks' with software for you to run. Also includes programs which allow you to transfer disk images across from a real TRS-80 via the parallel port and to convert disk images created for TRS-80 emulators on the Mac and PC so that they too will work on the Atari version. Also features bi-directional transfer to allow ASCII files to be freely transferred between the two machines. Docs are in RTF format, so you'll need a copy of Marcel (WRD.4501) unless you already have software which supports RTF (eg; Papyrus). The Electrocution Demo by Sphere - The usual title screen with music and scrolltext. However, this one has a difference. You can rotate 3D objects by simple key presses. This demo will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg of memory. GEMAR V1.123 - A backup program for a SCSI tape streamer. It is GEM based and features moveable dialog boxes so it's very easy to use. However, both the program and docs are in German. Funnily enough, some of the text within the program is in English. CREATEINF v1.4 - Allows you to create RAMLOAD.INF files for use with RAMLOAD.PRG by Kevin Cheung. Rather than have the hassle of using a text editor, this program lets you locate the required files using the file selector and saves the information to disk. E_DICT 95 by Charles Edwards - A German to English translation program with a difference. Having looked at the available German/English translation programs when translating the main manual for GEM-View, the author of E_DICT found them less helpful than he had hoped. He has devised E_Dict in such a manner that the computer's speed in looking up words in an Atari oriented onboard dictionary is complemented by the user's sense of context in deciding which of the displayed definitions will be included in the output English text. Another thing which makes E_DICT different is that it does not contain a massive dictionary. Instead it handles the most commonly used words as well as many German technical terms. This Shareware version only gives translations on the first 1000 characters within the file. The registered version handles translations of any length. MEDSPEED - Tests the loading speed of an specified media. Works on floppies, ramdisks and hard drives. Select the Drive and after a short test, you will be informed of the data transfer rate in kilobytes per second. Multi-TOS compatible. THE 11 COMMANDMENTS from Codehead Software - Info for programmers on intercepting system vectors to patch enhancements into TOS and GEM. MFD - Searches disks for duplicate files. The supplied C source includes comprehensive facilities for file and directory handling. XLISP - C source only (no docs or executables) of a small implementation of XLISP v2.1 for the S ST, including object orientation. CHRONICLE - An impressive music demo featuring 32 pieces of music created with the PSG Tracker. Also on disk is a 'product demo come advertisement' for the PSG Tracker which is only available direct from the author. Good sound quality. MAKIN' SWEET MUSIC Vol 1 by MUG UK - A disk full of music composed using Blipp Blopper v0.79 (not included). Blipblop files must first be converted using HYBRID.PRG and the resulting .MUS files loaded via appropriate source code into GFA Basic, STOS or Assembler. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are ICE, JARRE, META, PIANO, PLEASE, THE-FLOW. Jove - C source (only) of mammoth text editor ported from Unix. Requires GNU C to compile, so 2Mb RAM minimum. DTERM v1.m - One of the fastest Comms programs around. Fully configurable. Includes auto Zmodem, auto Dialer, macros and even a 'Set Flow' command if your modem supports this function. FLASHPAT - Patches FLASH.PRG to correctly use RTS/CTS. HS-FIX - Replaces and corrects the buggy TOS RTS/CTS functions. INTERCOM - Version 3.01 of this popular program.

UNCODER - Codes/uncodes binary files to allow easy uploading. Fully GEM based. XYZ2 - Version 2.0 of the file handling program 'XYZ'. Gives you full control of X-, Y- and Zmodem transfers and now features uploading as well as downloading of files. 45K user manual included. DARC II by Stargate - An impressive intro based around an archaelogical find in Cairo starts off this game. Once into the game proper, you realise that it's a DOOM clone running on your ST and a damned fine one too. OK so you don't get texture mapping or a choice of weapons and there's only one 'breed' of alien but it's the same basic concept. Your goal is to navigate the maze, blasting aliens as you go, and collect the three keys which open doors leading to deeper levels. To win the game you must collect all four computer disks hidden beyond those doors. Control is by joystick or keyboard and there's Map and Help features built in. An impressive Shareware release from Switzerland. Needs 1 Mb. STOSSER Issue #4 (July 1993) - Yet another packed edition. This month's features include the following:- A new instant access menu screen. The Misty and Stars extensions have been used for this issue, giving impressive results. There's an insight into making compiled programs smaller, a look at STOS Maestro, the Robotix tutorial part 3 and STOS extentions available. Part 4 of William Morrison's STOS tutorial covers LOAD, SAVE, DIR$ plus much more. 'What is PD?' looks at different ways of distributing software. There's tips on using GEM, usind a ramdisk, and TOS error messages are explained.

PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally arrived on the Atari thanks to Doug Little's porting of the PC sources. This latest version is downwardly compatible with POV 2.2 but with dozens of new features and bug fixes. Amongst the new features is the ability to render a screen preview when running on a Falcon. Another major improvement is the incorporation of the faster routines from FTPOV. Like v2.2, this version features hundreds of scenes for you to render yourself, all grouped according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual's huge, running to over 800K and is very well written, starting out with an easy to understand introduction to ray tracing, then moving progressively to the more advanced stuff.

ADVANCED FRANGLAIS 1 - Those who are acquainted with the FRANGLAIS 1-6 series, voted the 'top educational package of the year' (STReview/July 1993) will welcome the continuation of an ADVANCED FRANGLAIS series by Evelyn Mills. Part 1 tidies up a few essentials and the 'Lisez- Moi' will advise the user of forthcoming subjects to be tackled with the same humorous approach. A grabber is included on disk for those requiring a printout of any screen. A worthy successor to the Franglais series. KID COLOURS - A very basic game where a colour is displayed on screen and the child has to select the name of the colour from a row of boxes containing the names of 9 colours. Its purpose is to familiarise your children with the mouse and connect the colours with their names. A correct answer brings up a happy face and a wrong answer, a sad one! ZOOMAKER by Erictronics - You have to think of an animal and the computer will try to guess which animal it is. If it gets it wrong, you enter the name of the animal and something which distinguishes it from the computer's guess. You then have the option of drawing a picture of it. Now, the computer will add your animal to its datafile and display its picture (assuming you drew one) in the box if you guess correctly. You can fit about 40 animal pictures into a 520, more on larger memory machines. LEARN MY NUMBERS by Anthony Watson - The numbers 0-9 are presented jumbled up on a grid. You are asked 'Where is the number 5' etc; and must click onto the correct number. Very clear digitised speech is used throughout and there's a repeat button if the child forgets the question! Needs a 1 Meg STE/TT or Falcon. This game does not run on 'ordinary' ST's. DESKPIC by Michael Zuhl - Yet another Auto program and CPX to install a Degas mono screen in the background of the Desktop. Mono only. IMG0300.SYS by Julian F Reschke - A GDOS driver which prints a page to disk as a 300 dpi IMG file.

Many thanks to Robin de la Motte for the translation of several programs on this disk. The Big STOS Demo by Captain Zogg and The Skunk . Features a title screen in 44 colours, five sub-demos (press 1-5 to access these) and several different pieces of music and a VERY fast scroller. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 18 - Three excellent 256 colour animations created on the PC. 3DSLOGO - An advertisement for Autodesk 3D Studio. A flat sheet grows into a rather complex smoothly animated rotating 3D rotating logo which then folds up and passes between the two lines of text. A3DS3 - Another advert for Autodesk 3d Studio. This involves a 4x4 3D board with bubble like objects which grow and shrink. Everything is light sourced and most impressive. CHUBBY 03 - A metallic android doing the twist Chubby runs on 1 Meg the others need 4 Meg. STEN Issue #1 - Uses DC Showit to read text files on various topics including DTP, Gemdos, the STE, Comms and Word Processing.

Watch the nurse walk by as the patient's heartbeat stops on the monitor. The only way to describe this excellent demo is 'short but sweet'! Terminal requires 1 Meg. THE NO COOPER DEMO by 1984 - Convererted from the Amiga by Lerxst of Cynix. This demo performs some impressive rasters and plasma full screen effects and is highly recommended. THE STONACTION DEMO - A demo from Finland. Press the keys F1 to F5 for the different screens. There's also a hidden screen and a short reset demo. Nothing new but well presented and pleasant to watch. I'm most impressed with the picture show on F3 but it doesn't run on machines with more (or less) than 1 Meg. All other sub demos require at least 1 Meg. CALLERID by Paul Lyon - Keeps track of incoming calls by displaying the number as the phone rings and the name of the caller if the caller is known and in your database. Your call log can be saved to disk or printed out. You can even automatically block calls from certain numbers In order to use this program you will require a modem with Caller ID support and a telephone service provider who supports Caller ID BT does at a cost .

The latest version of Forth '83 based around the Micro Emacs text editor. This is a fully functioning shareware product from The States. THE SWISS MEGA DEMO - The introduction takes the form of a short story, accompanied by well drawn graphics. It tells the story, believe it if you will, of how the demo came to be. The main menu reminds you of the ground breaking Knight Lore game by Ultimate on the ZX Spectrum, both in terms of graphics and layout. Puzzles have to be solved most of the time to gain access to the exits. The demo screens feature all the usual effects. However, everything is viewed from the side in 3D and it can often be difficult working out the perspective! It would be a good idea to design a map, and it would have been nice if you could save your position so that you could go back to the demo where you left it. Apart from that, this is a great demo which presents a good challenge. NOT TOS 1.62 upwards. TAURIS - A brilliant game. Partially translated by Bob MacLeod. Needs 1 Meg.

White Spirit contains twelve tunes which are spread over the other two disks. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the tune titles, and press INSERT to load your chosen tune. A short text description is displayed for each tune. Unfortunately this, like all other text in the demo, is in French. Whilst the tunes are played, there is either an animated Adrenaline band displayed or a piano. Pressing the SPACEBAR toggles between the band and the selection screen.

DESTRUCTION IMMINENT by Cunning & Devious Games - An impressive Doom clone for the ST. Features include high speed 3D engine, animated monsters (each with its own characteristics), STE enhanced but STFM compatible, secret rooms with additional equipment and much more. Destruction Imminent is very fast and probably as close to Doom as you're going to get on a standard ST/STe. This demo features a complete level from the full game (there are 25 in total). Full version from Goodmans. Needs 1Mb. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 8 - Contains the following fonts:- GERHARDT, GERHARDT ITALIC, GERHARDT BOLD, GERHARDT BOLD ITALIC, GOLDIE, GOODIE OLD STYLE, GOODIE OLD STYLE BOLD, GRAFIK ETT, GRAFIK TVZ, GILL SANS, HARNAL, HARRY.

GIP supports the loading of TIFF, GIF, PCX, Degas, IMG (mono and colour) and AIM. It saves in TIFF or IMG formats. On-line help is available within the program. Printing is supported for HP Laserjet/Deskjet and Postscript printers only. GIP runs in all resolutions on the ST/E, TT and Falcon. VIP Professional Support Disk 2 . Contains 38 worksheets for use with the program. Most are designed for business use. THE OVERDOSE DEMO by Armada - A continous demo in 9 parts. Each sub demo is introduced by an incredible graphic screen which is not unlike high res on the Amiga (complete with flicker). This is a pleasant demo to watch with good graphics and sound throughout. The most impressive sub demo is of a solid 3D space shuttle spinning in mid air. NOT TOS 1.0. DIAMOND BACK 3 - A demo of the most advanced hard drive backup system available on Atari computers. Features include data compression, a choice of image backups or file backups, backup to floppy, hard drive or SCSI tape drive, incremental backups and partial restores from backups to name just a few! Diamond Back 3 is also Multi-TOS compatible. The demo is fully functional in every respect except for the fact that the backup disks will be blank. Needs 1 Meg. E-BACKUP V1.01 - Another hard drive backup program. This one supports data compression, image backups or file backups and lots of less obvious features. It supports the formatting of DD, HD and ED disks of standard and expanded capacity and is fully Multi-TOS compatible and can perform backups under interrupt. Unfortunately, E-Backup is in German. This demo version only backs up partition D. ZERO-X v1.55 by Copson Data - Audio software primarily designed to convert of any size between different sample types (Cubase Audio, Dame, SoundDesigner, WAVe, AVR, WinRec and RAW 16-bit formats). It also automatically finds the best loop positions in samples and transfers samples to and from samplers and sample players via SCSI and MIDI and features basic sample editing with auto-cut and beat loop functions. On the STE, TT and Falcon, samples can be played back from within Zero-X. Apart from the inability to save, a number of other restrictions exist in this demo version. Needs a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res or graphic cards only. Although E_Backup and Zero-X will load up on a 520, they need at least 1 Meg in order to be usable. The Mega Strange Demo by The Cool Crew . Press keys 1 to 4 for pictures, 5 to 7 for music and 8 for a slide show. EC-909 - An analogue drum machine emulator from Electronic Cow Software. It is based on the famous Roland TR-909 drum machine and comes complete with sixteen original samples from that machine. EC-909 can create single bar patterns and export them to D2D recorders or sample editors in AIFF or AVR formats 8-bit or 16-bit in mono or stereo . They can also be exported in MIDI format for use in your sequencer. Although perfectly usable many of the best features are disabled in this demo. Needs 4Mb. SCRIBBLE SYNTH - Another of Electronic Cow Software s innovative music products. Scribble Synth is an additive synthesiser in a similar vein to Snippit Synth but this time you make your music by drawing frequency envelopes on the screen These mouse scribbles of which there are five per sound are transformed into 2D frequency spectrum plots by the software. The results can be amazing strange sci-fi warbles time based pitch and filtering effects and more are all possible as well as some really deep bass sounds. Sounds can be exported to tracker programs D2D recorders and sample editors in AIFF SPL or AVR formats 8-bit and 16-bit in mono or stereo and at any frequency up to 50khz . Sounds can also be dumped via MIDI to an MSDS compatible sampler. A number of the ground-breaking features are disabled in this demo version. HP V1.16 by Homa Systems - Demo version of the NOVA driver for the Hewlett Packard Scanjet IICX IIp 3P/C 4P/C range of flatbed scanners. It handles page sizes up to 8.5 x14 and supports pre-scan and various adjustments such as gamma correction brightness and contrast adjustable scaling and scanning at up to 1200dpi dependent on your scanner s capabilities . It runs as an ACC or PRG and can scan directly into programs which support the GDPS protocol or direct to your hard drive. I can t say what s disabled in this demo version as I don t own one of these scanners. MUST V1.17 by Homa Systems - Demo version of the NOVA driver for the Mustek Paragon 6000/12000 CX range of flatbed scanners. All specifications as per the HP driver above . DIGITAL HOME STUDIO V1.03 by Emmanuel Jaccard - A major upgrade to Digital Tracker Shareware on FALC.4366 and the commercial followup on FALC.5075.

Please note that this distribution is for Atari computers only. The PC sources and executables are NOT included. Includes full C source. Needs a hard drive. MASSIVE MAG #3 by Admirables - The Admirables team stroll into the European disk magazine scene with this, their 3rd issue. It is undoubtedly getting better and better as they produce more issues, though the user interface still remains quite slow. Nevertheless, they say looks aren't everything, and in this issue the articles more than compensate. The reviews section covers other disk magazines and a number of demos and games. Articles include GFA tips, Game tips/cheats and a very good gossip article that reveals interesting information about Demi Moore, Claudia Schiffer, Cliff Richard, Jason Priestly and others. Programs on disk include the latest Ice Packer, a whole bunch of 'Lotus' digi-drum music and much more. Issue 2 is required to read the 'Mystic' article! Clip Art (COMIC, PEOPLE) in IMG format . Files are BLINDMAN, BOTTLES, BOY, BUYER, CAFE, CLOWN, DBLEGLAZ, DINNER, DRAGON1, DRAGON2, FOOTBALL, GIRL, HIKER, KIDS, LEAVING, MECHANIC, MICKEY, OSTRICH, OZZ, PENGUIN, PEOPLE, PHONEBOY, PIGGYBNK, POKER, READER, SEASIDE, SKIERS, TWINS, UNPACK, WASHING, WHALE, WORM, WRITER, COUPLE1, COUPLE2, MAN01, MAN02, MAN03, MAN04, WARRIOR, WOMAN01, WOMAN02, WOMAN03, WOMAN04, WOMAN05, YOUTH.

The new version is a major upgrade over its predecessor with lots of new features and several bug fixes. All Geneva users are advised to upgrade. Please note that you will require original Geneva v003 master disks in order to perform the upgrade. If you don't already have Geneva, this disk is of no use to you. A SPELLING PROGRAM for the young in Fast Basic by Peter Jackson. You see an object and a voice tells you what it is. Then you have to spell it by pointing the mouse at a keyboard on screen. This is an excellent program for 3-8 year olds as you can vary the difficulty. TAKE TWO V2 by Marco Feikert - The English version of a former commercial release from Germany. Take Two is a Match-It type tile game. There are various different tile sets, different grid sizes and several difficulty levels. Your aim is simple, to remove all tiles from the playing area before your time runs out. This is done by removing pairs of tiles which can be linked by a straight line, this must change direction no more than twice on its route. Time limits are tight and this game presents a real challenge. As well as the game itself, there is a level editor and a solver program (to ensure that the new levels you create are solvable!). Needs 1 Mb, STE enhanced. DEADLAND by Justin Ward - A spaceship has crash landed on a planet known as Deadland and your mission is to evacuate as many crew members as possible within a specified time limit. To do this, you must build a new spaceship, not as easy as it sounds! This overhead view Shareware game presents a real challenge with crew members and vehicles to control, a spaceship to build, and various hazards to avoid, including enemy soldiers. Gameplay is described as similar to Cannon Fodder, though not exactly! Needs 1 Mb. GIF_SPC - Converts GIF format files into Spectrum 512 format. GIF Show - A slideshow for GIF format pictures. OMV SLIDE - A slideshow program for showing Degas (compressed or uncompressed) or Neochrome pictures. CNV2GIF - Converts Degas (compressed and uncompressed) or Neo files into GIF format.

GEM VIEW v1.1 - Supports and converts various picture formats including GIF, IFF, IMG, GEM, NEO for on screen display in a GEM window. This program can be run as a PRG, TTP or ACC and converts the pictures to the current screen resolution. Supports the STE's 4096 colour palette. ViewGIF and GEM View run in any resolution, the others are colour only. RIPPLES - Generates animated pseudo- random patterns in DEGAS format. Very fast and produces attractive results (not ink-blots). Also included for viewing saved images are the Showpic2 slideshow and Degread (this also gives data on palette, animation etc). GENEALOGY DISK with two public domain programs and two demos of commercial systems. FAMTREE - Prints a family tree to an Epson compatible, given all the right information. NEWGEN DEMO v4.14 - A genealogy database manager. Prints pedigrees and birth briefs. Excellent user guide. Demo limited to 18 people. RELTREE - Organises, stores and prints family tree information. Not restricted. ROOTS - A demo version of Family Roots, available from Floppyshop. Fully working except no option to save data. Please note that this is a demo of Family Roots I and a much improved version II is now available. THE NEVER AND FOREVER DEMO (and Utilities) by STEW - A 10 screen demo written entirely in GFA Basic, with a number of utilities thrown in for good measure. The sub-demos are selected from a simple menu. Features include parallax scrolling and other graphical effects (like moving backgrounds with text on them). There are scrollers of every type. Ordinary ones, multi-coloured ones, large ones, small ones, you name it! At one point six scrollers appear on screen at once. Stew even goes one better than OVR by having 36 sprites on screen at once. The only bad thing about this demo is the guest screen, which is pretty poor. The utilities are FONT2BIN - Converts graphics or fonts to binary files and vice versa. PLOTTER - A programmer's utility which allows you to plot the path you want your sprite to follow, by hand rather than using complicated formulae. CONVERT - Converts Easyrider disassembled source files into smaller ones. STEWP - A utility for BBS Sysops which allows them to create a top ten upload/download chart (supplied in ZIP format). REBELS VERSUS LASERTHONS by Daniel Fielding - A two player strategy based game. You start out by loading a scenario (seven are supplied) and are then given your mission objective. RVL is a turns based game where each player may move each of his remaining robots or fight/shoot with them. He then hands over to the other player who does likewise. Four mission objectives are possible and you must complete your mission within a time limit. Comes complete with a level editor so that you can create your own scenarios. Needs 1 Mb. MIND SWEEPER V1.1 by Eric Hameleers - Yet another Minesweeper clone. As is usual, you must uncover squares all the squares in a grid without detonating one of the hidden bombs. This variant allows you to choose between 3 different board sizes and six difficulty levels. It even has a built-in cheat mode, should you wish to use it. An added feature is its tournament mode which lets you compete against a friend, playing an agreed number of games and having your scores recorded in a highscore table. Includes on-line Help in both English and Dutch. SYNAPSE 2 by Lionel Ruiz - A game to test your reflexes to different stimuli. You must press the mouse button as soon as the specified event is triggered and you will be informed as to how quickly you responded. SQUARE OFF by Dave Munsie - Arcade Dave s back with another compelling blast from the past This is a very highly polished Tetris game with lots of extras over the original. It s crammed with sound samples and DMA sound throughout as well as the usual high quality graphics and gameplay we all expect from Dave. You can play one or two player games using joystick Jaguar joypad or any combination of these. There s Classic Arcade and 2 Player Battle modes. This Shareware version is complete except that you are restricted to playing just 7 of the 20 levels or a single levelif in Battle mode. It just oozes with quality and is even more addictive than the original. BIO HAZZARD 2 DEMO by Village Software - A playable demo of the followup to Les Greenhalgh s Bio Hazzard Shareware version on FALC.4398 where you wander around the overhead view maze collecting objects opening doors and firing at aliens. Bio Hazzard 2 is a one of two player strateg based game in which you control a variety of different cyborgs in an attempt to rid the galaxy of the dreaded Xenomorphs. Control is by mouse keyboard or Jaguar joypad in this turns based game. Each character has a limited number of turns per move and can carry a number of objects with him. A well presented game with lots to do even in this restricted version. Source code from The Mindbomb Demo BY TLB. - MAIN MENU - Tim Moss (Manikin of The Lost Boys) has at last agreed to release this phenomenal piece of code which features full hardware scrolling in ALL directions. What's more, it is all explained and thoroughly documented. Music, sprites, scroller and the irreverent monkey, all running at 50 frames a second! RED SECTOR SCREEN - The 'Red Sector' 3D balls demo originally on the Amiga and improved on the ST by Manikin. Includes the famous helicopter routine. Full reflection in the lower border with the MFP chip pushed to it's limit. Great music to accompany. DIGI-SYNTH SCREEN - Quartet music playing with a spectrum analyser. Great 3D star field and the inevitable scroller. Six tunes from function keys including Paninaro, In The Night and The Mindbomb Theme. All sources are fully documented and the sprite and music data are held in their respective folders and an assembled PRG is included, ready to run. Both disks contain bad language. Do not buy these if you are likely to be offended. You will require Devpac v2 or 3 in order to use these disks. Previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. Clip Art (PLACES) in IMG format . Files are AAAA2, AQUADUCT, ATHENS, BIGBEN, BIVARIA, CAIRO, EROS, EROS2, FRANCE, GUARD, HOLLAND, LIBERTY, NOTREDAM, PISA02, ROME, SPHINX, SPHINX2, THETOWER, TOWER2, WINDMILL. ST NEWS Vol 4 No 4 - The 25th issue of ST News. Finished on 12th August 1989. It catalogues the visit of Richard Karsmakers and Stefan Posthuma to Britain. They visited Mastertronic, Electronic Arts, Magnetic Scrolls, Argonaut, Hewson, Mirrorsoft, US Gold and Ocean. They met up with Steve Bak, Jeff Minter, The Lost Boys, Ben Dalglish, David Whittaker, Fungus The Bogeyman, Pete Lyon and a host of others. Also included are four demos (although only one runs in colour) and four different pieces of music, one by David Whittaker himself! MEDIEVAL CHESS by JV Enterprises - This is an action game as well as a strategic one! You look down on the chess board from above and move your pieces more or less in accordance with the normal rules of chess (there are a few exceptions). However, when you land on an occupied square, you battle it out with your opponent in the arena. The object of the game is to defeat the opponent's King in battle. At the beginning of the game, the piece with the highest stature usually wins. However, each blow erodes your strength, making it any man's game as it progresses. Great digitised sound effects are used throughout. You are given the option of one or two players and three different levels of play. Reminiscent of Battle Chess and perhaps every bit as good! Another great Shareware release from the authors of Towers. Needs 1 Meg. S-FALC.5240 S-FALC.5241 S-FALC.5242 LOST BLUBB by Independent - An impressive demo full of originality. Multimedia finally bursts forth onto your Falcon s screen. The demo was designed choreographed and performed by dancer rather than a programmer. Having said that it took a team of programmers and musicians to stitch the 7 Mb of data together It starts of with a silhouette walking towards the monitor and features countless graphic effects performed either on the silhouette figure or as a background for her dance routines. These include but are not limited to texture mapped 3D shapes plasmas 3D objects and tunnels embossed effects burning wood spirograph effects various fades graduated fills raytraced backgrounds cardboard cutout type effects and more. The dancer starts off in silhouette but things really get impressive when you get full motion video clips of her dancing on computer generated backgrounds as well as original video footage. All video footage is original not borrowed from films and the same goes for the fantastic stereo soundtrack which plays throughout. This production can only be described as a true work of art. Winner of the Fried Bits III demo competition. RGB ONLY needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. PIXART by Omikron - A demo version of an art package which is Falcon enhanced and runs in any resolution. It can load and save (disabled in this demo) in IMG, IFF, TIFF, PCX, ESM, Degas and its own format, depending on resolution. A large number of tools are available and the program is very similar in style to Calamus with the main icons across the top, each leading to another menu of icons. Pixart also accepts input directly from scanners and graphic tablets. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German. Distributed in the UK by The ST Club. ECOPY V1.5 - Probably the best disk formatting and copying utility yet. It formats and copies DD, HD and Quad Density (2.88Mb) disks if your machine has had the necessary upgrade fitted. Both standard and extended formats are offered for all three disk types. ECopy also lets you set the step rate, analyse disk formats, check disks for corrupt sectors, create PC compatible formats and create and restore Fcopy Pro DIM files. It also has a built in virus checker. Copying and formatting are disabled in this version. Unfortunately both the program and docs are in German. AUDIO CALCULATOR v1.04 by Hinton Instruments - An essential tool for Midi musicians. The program actually features five built-in calculators. You simply supply the basic inputs and the rest of the values you require are computed for you. The Analog Level Calculator and Sound Calculator are fully operational but the Music Timing Calculator, Tape Timing Calculator and Digital Audio Calculator are included merely to illustrate how they work. Their functions are disabled in this demo. The full version has all five calculators fully operational and runs as an ACC and is Multi-TOS compatible. OZONE - An excellent Shareware game by Nick Harper. This is a combined platform and puzzle game where the object is to get to the top of the tower within the time limit. A very professional looking game which plays well and is highly recommended. STOSSER #28 - Deano's back with another exciting issue. This issue's theme is Red Dwarf, with a Red Dwarf intro and the full script from a Red Dwarf episode. The STOS A-Z continues with P, the full solution to the adventure Loom, the full solution to Operation Stealth, some bits and pieces on the Jaguar (a look at the best and worst multi-player games as well as a review of Skyhammer) and an article on how the Falcon works. There's a show report from the Birmingham Atari Show, an interview with Colin (GFF) and a piece on Deano's Christmas. Reviews include Island Strike, Gin Rummy, Destruction Imminent, EZ-Art Professional and Grafix-The Easy Way. Programming tutorials look at Tracker coomands, Blitter commands and part two of the platform game tutorial. If that's not enough there's all the regulars like Telegraph Pole, Adverts, Letters, Giveaways and more besides... NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 3 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are AUF, BREEZE, COMA2, FOLLOWME, FOREVER, ICONOCLA. THE SEARCH - An interesting educational 'game' by Jim Fanning, an area youth worker (author of Death of a President and others). The investigation is based around a family named Griggs in the village of Bidden. The student is required to work out the history of this family to its origins. A worksheet is given in the documentation. Everything is fully documented and by typing 'database', the author gives the user on screen access to the more unusual words required in the game. THE SEARCH provides a sound basis basis for project work and is highly recommended. Soundtracker files and player program . Files are 1POINT1 BA1 BLUEMON CREAM DAVEDEMO EYETIGER GHOST SHORTPSH SAD XENON2 MEGAFORC MEGA_MIX KEFTUNE2 MONSTER SNARE. BUTTERFLY ARTIST - Mega German art package translated by Terry Billany. It has a good toolset and reads and writes wide range of fileformats including Degas and .IMG. The program uses all available RAM to give an enormous drawing area on a 2 Meg or 4 Meg machine, allowing an A4 page at 300dpi (laser) resolution! Ideal for DTP. Supports 9 & 24-pin printers. Needs 1 Meg minimum. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are 2GOBSOLD, BLACK, BLUE, FIRE, GOB1, GOB2, GOB3, GOB4, GOB5, GOB6, GOB7, GOBLIDOG, GOGSOLDI, ORCCOMMA, ORENT, PRINCESS, RED, TAIL, TREES, TROLL, WOLF, Z3GOBWAR. NETHACK 3 (patch level 10) - Similar to and developed from ST Hack on GAM.17. This is essentially the same game on a massive scale. Includes some hints and tips (but not a lot). Needs 1 Meg. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are COUNDOWN, HARQUIN1, RTYPEMIX, SICTRASH, SILENCE, SONG9. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. ST Icon Language . Based on Snobol 4. It was developed by The University of Arizona in the USA. It has nothing to do with icons, the name, although confusing, it entirely co-incidental. Icon is heavily documented on disk and is a complete version of the language. Registered users will receive updates to the language and the Icon newsletter. Single sided. The Red Sector Megademo by The Crossbones - A wierd but impressive four part megademo by a new crew from Europe. AMOS MODULES (for use with STOS Tracker) disk 2 by Brian Ross . ABKs are BALLPARK, RAVE, SPACE, STUNNING, TRACKER. REBOUND - A bat and ball game with three pads, one at each side of the playing area and a third at the top of the screen. The aim of the game is to hit these pads to score points. You begin with only three lives, but good play can increase these. Each round of the game is against the clock and the pace of the action gets hotter, the further you progress. A new slant on the bat and ball type game and extremely addictive. STOMP - By moving tiles, you must attempt to spell out the word STOMP. You control a small character who moves around the screen, stopping when he reaches a block. He can then move blocks around in order to achieve the objective of the game. All this is against the clock! UTOPUS - A two player battle game in split screen format. The aim of the game is straightforward, blow up your opponent before losing your own life. Achieving the aim is rather more difficult. Needs 1 Meg. Utopus is STE only. GDOS_CPX - Three CPXs for use with Atari's Xcontrol on UTL.3879. They are for use with GDOS/SpeedoGDOS. OUTLINE.CPX - A replacement for Speedo's OUTLINE.ACC. It lets you set up the caches and width tables, set default paths and list disabled fonts. OPTIONS.CPX - Displays the current default Speedo printer and lets you alter the print quality, page size, output port, DPI etc. PRINTER.CPX - Lets you alter the default path to your fonts and printer drivers for use with GDOS. You can also change the settings for paper size, printable area etc. This CPX is more or less a combination of the previous two but for GDOS rather than SpeedoGDOS. GOOFY V1.2 by Patrice Bensoussan - An interrupt driven printer spooler. It acts just like the print function on the Desktop except that you can continue to use your computer when the file is printing if you run it as an ACC or under a multi-tasking OS. In fact it can even be used as a direct replacement for Multi-TOS's LPR. Goofy is intended to be used for printing text only but also works with applications which output in graphic mode, albeit very slowly, but who cares when it frees up your machine to work on something else? HELP LIBRARY V2.01 by Jeroen Scheerder - A menu driven system for creating your own Help files. Full C sources and object file are supplied so that programmers can incorporate the system directly into their programs. For the rest of us there's detailed instructions (in English!) on how to create your own Help files without resorting to programming. MCMONO V2 - A mono emulator with a difference. It offers eight different display modes, one of which is to switch back to your original colour display. It is fully configurable in use and seems faster than most mono emulators. It even includes a colour screen saver! ST-GUIDE CREATOR REL 4 by Gregor Duchalski - A collection of five useful tools designed to take the pain out of creating ST-Guide (UTL.5557) hypertext files. You can convert the Tele Office handbook and PC UFP Star Trek database into ST-Guide format. Other programs let you create alias names for pages and append files to each other. Probably the most useful is a program which lets you convert ASCII text into ST-Guide format allowing text attributes, title generation and hierarchical chapter referencing to be added automatically. These utilities are invaluable if you're thinking of creating ST-Guide on-line Help files and reference guides. Why do it the hard way? FILE FLAG MANAGER V1.03 by Kai Holst - A nice easy to use program which allows you to change a program's header flags. These control the Fastload bit, whether the program can use alternative memory and whether it can run in alternative memory. What makes this program different is that you decide whether a flag is to switched on or off for either of the two supported 'sets'. You then determine which file extensions belong to each set. Click onto a drive (or partition) and all files matching your chosen extensions will have their header flags changed to your specifications. It's as easy as that. SOFT TOOL V2.06N by Wiagylvam & Jam - A disk cataloguing program. You can specify up to 12 categories of disks and have as many entries in each category as you wish. Each entry has to be entered manually but descriptions can be up to 80 characters in length. An ideal tool for helping you remember which program is on which disk! TODAYS V2.01 by Chuck Grimsby - An unusual program which is used to display reminders of events or occurences which took place at any point in history. It can also be used as a planner to schedule forthcoming events and remind you of these ahead of time. Although based on programs of the same name on other computers, the Atari version of Todays offers much more features than those, although it will happily accept and use their data files. Z88LINK V1.3 by Ian Johnston - Allows you to transfer ASCII files between the Cambridge Computers Z88 and an Atari. You will require PC Link (a hardware/software package designed to connect the Z88 to a PC) but this replaces the software designed to run at the PC end with an Atari equivalent. Registered users get an improved version which also handles binary transfers. TECHNOBUG by Joaquin Ferrero - A GFA listing (GFA Basic required) to patch the ESC bug in Technobox CAD/2. DEVICES - Displays the capacity (in Mb) of each hard drive partition as well as the transfer rate for the individual partitions along with some other information such as number of files, number of folders etc. ZZZAP by Bill Silvert - If using one of those programs which copies the entire contents of Drive A to a RAMdisk, you need a program to erase the Auto folder, ACCs and DESKTOP.INF from the RAMdisk upon completion.

THE SYNERGY DEMO by Synergy Developments - The introduction looks like an acid demo with some very strange music and words/graphics being displayed on the screen at speed. Once it has finished, the main menu is loaded. This is rather different as it is a large six sided cube which moves when you press the cursor keys. Each side represents a demo screen. The first is a introduction to the coders and their hobbies/likes/dislikes. This is presented in very slick manner with lots of buttons to click onto, and text to read. Other sides include a tracker music player, a credits screen with a difference (as it's a demo itself) and a game called Crapman (which this game is not!). It is a pacman clone which is fast and has very good graphics. Regrettably, you have to reset the machine to exit it! The last two sides of the cube contain two demos which have the usual graphic and sound effects like scrollers and a space tunnels made from dots. Overall it's not a bad demo from one off the lesser kown coding groups and it has a game and tracker player thrown in too.

You must enter rooms and collect objects in an attempt to find a radiation suit, locate a survivor and give him the suit. You must then exit the level and progress to the next. There are various hazards to avoid, such as dripping acid and unfriendly droids amongst other things. The first level is really just a trainer, after that it really gets tough!

Needs 4 Mb, STE or Falcon only. ST HIGHWAY #5 - Dave Skillin relaunches this little known publication and makes a half-decent job of it too.

Really impressive. 2.5 MEG STE - It is theoretically impossible to mix different capacities of SIMMs when upgrading an STE's memory. Assuming you have purchased two 1 Mb SIMMs in order to upgrade to 2 Mb, you can use two of your old 256k SIMMs as well and get 2.5Mb in total using this small software patch. Different versions of the MMU chip are fitted in certain STE's so it's not guaranteed to work on every STE. Thanks to Robin de la Motte for translating a number of programs on this disk. INFO '91 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 12/11/91 to 8/12/91. MOUNTAIN SPEEDER by Cruor - A zooming demo based around a picturesque mountainous landscape.

The charts are all vector graphs and can be moved around a blank page and positioned as required. Text can be added too. Individual graphs can be saved in GEM Metafile format or the entire page can be printed or saved. Graph works well as a sophisticated spreadsheet, yet offers much more with its integrated graphing functions. There's just one catch, (Speedo)GDOS or NVDI must be installed in order to use the fonts and graphing capabilities although plain text output is possible from the spreadsheet without these. Program in English. A serious competitor to K-Spread 4. Shareware at its best. Multi-tasking friendly, needs at least 1Mb. ANALYSE by Reginald Stadlbauer - Allows the molecular mass and percentage of various components in an elementary compound e.g. nitro toluene to be calculated.

The default grid is 20 by 20 but this may be altered to suit. Many sample quizzes are supplied and there are options galore for moving entering replacing and searching for words. All is explained in an on-disk manual of more than 5O pages Hours of entertainment here. WIZPAK by Great Dane Software - This is an odd one. It sort of borders between artificial intelligence OCR and a game It is intended as a simplified introduction to artificial intelligence systems and image recognition systems. WizPack consists of two programs the first is an image recognition system. You draw the letters of the alphabet on screen and teach the program which image belongs to which letter. It is then possible for the program to recognise letters even when drawn in a slightly different manner or at a completely different size. The second program is a two player game in which each player draws five images or letters when their opponent is not looking and they have to try draw the same image as their opponent did. As soon as it looks vaguely like the image the program reveals the name of the image by way of a clue. Both programs are Shareware and registered users get improved versions. Very well documented.

The cable used for connecting the two computers can be obtained from the author at low cost. Program and docs in English, German and Swedish. PROBE HOUSE WORLD CLOCK V2.0 by William Wong - A PRG or ACC (you choose) which displays a clock in a GEM window. What makes this clock unique is that it displays both local time and that of another city elsewhere in the world. Around 50 different cities have their data included so all time zones are covered. After saving your configuration, the dual time clock will always operate for the two cities selected, although this can be changed at any time. Also has an alarm clock with 8 different sounds and an optional user defined message. SHARP ARCHIVES V1.1.1 by R Tracht - Allows you to transfer data between the Atari and most Sharp pocket computers (PC-1245, 1251, 1350, 1401, 1402, 1403, 1450). It supports the transfer of both programs and data, making it an ideal development tool. The suggested use is for developing Sharp Basic programs on the Atari and porting them back. Another use is of course for porting ASCII text in both directions. A special cable is required in order to transfer via the parallel port. Full instruction on the construction of the cable are included but you'll need to be handy with a soldering iron. GEM based and easy to use, but program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation.

Due to the size of the WAD file around 4 Mb it has not been possible to include it on the disk even archived so you will have to source it yourself from a PC CD-ROM possibly in order to get a usable system set up. This version is fairly slow and lets you walk through walls but it is DOOM not a clone so it s worth checking out if you can get access to the necessary WAD file. RGB ONLY needs at least 4 Mb. BAD MOOD V3.07A by Doug Little - Another Doom engine. This one uses the DSP so it s much faster. It too requires a WAD file but is more versatile in the type of WAD it works with. Bad Mood currently supports the following - Shareware Doom - Episode 1 Commercial Doom - Episodes 1-3 Ultimate Doom - Episodes 1-4 Doom II - maps 1-32 Shareware Heretic - Episode 1. The necessary WAD files range from 4 Mb to 14 Mb in size hence their omission from this disk Well worth checking out if you can get your hands on the appropriate WADs. Now supports NOVA graphic cards and extended screen resolutions. This version runs on 1 Mb machines with RGB or VGA displays. A hard drive is needed for both Doom engines on this disk and neither currently allows you to play the game yet you can merely walk around the supported levels. BAD SHELL V2.0 by Vanel R mi - An easy to use GEM based shell for Bad Mood. Everything is selectable by simple mouse clicks thus eliminating the need to type parameters into the TTP. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. TAKE TWO V2 by Marco Feikert - The English version of a former commercial release from Germany. Take Two is a Match-It type tile game. There are various different tile sets different grid sizes and several difficulty levels. Your aim is simple to remove all tiles from the playing area before your time runs out. This is done by removing pairs of tiles which can be linked by a straight line which must change direction no more than twice on its route. Time limits are tight and this game presents a real challenge. As well as the game itself there is a level editor and a solver program to ensure that the new levels you create are solvable . GEM AMIGO V1.0 by Warwick Allison - The ST port of the Unix port of the Amiga game AmiGO It is essentially the board game GO played against the computer. It is very attractively presented in a nice GEM interface and is fully Multi-TOS compatible. Full C sources included but you ll need to know the rules of GO in order to play TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FOXLEFT, FOXSCRIP, FOXTROT, FOXTROT1, FOXTROTM, FOXXY5, FREEPOR1, FREEPORT, FREEPRTN. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts to some of William Shakespeare s histories tragedies and comedies. This disk contains Antony and Cleopatra Coriolan Hamlet King John King Lear Othello Richard III Romeo and Juliet. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. Mono games, emulator included. PENTIMO - A German game similar in concept to Tetris. Fit all the odd shapes together to complete the puzzle. TORPEDO - A battleships and cruisers type strategy game. PUZZLE GAME - The computer generates random jigsaw puzzles on screen which you have to fit together. The Sewer Software Demo Compilation No 1 - A compilation of 7 demos. They are Colour Shock, Doc II, Full Screen, Puffy's Saga, Starwars Rap and Wave Scroller. Not STE. EDITH PROFESSIONAL - A very highly specified text editor from Germany. It is Multi-TOS and SpeedoGDOS compatible and resolution independent. Features include context sensitive on-line help, multiple rulers, auto word wrap, dialogs inside moveable windows, iconification of windows, multiple clipboards and support for coloured text. Executable files may be loaded and exited in the same way as with the likes of Knife ST. The ability to expand abbreviations into complete words or phrases is another major feature as is the ability to increase the on-screen text size to assist those who are partially sighted. It may be fair to say that Edith really is the best there is when it comes to text editors. This version is fully translated and restricted only in the fact that it does not save. The full version can be obtained in the UK. See details on disk. KOBOLD V3.0 - The high speed file copier. If you have a hard drive, Kobold can copy megabytes in seconds. Even on floppy drives it's much faster than TOS. The demo allows you to copy up to to 4 Meg of files at a time. However, it cannot be used as an ACC, cannot be patched into TOS and lots of other functions are disabled. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German. The full (English) version is available from System Solutions. HYPERTEXT V1.0 by A-Soft - Perhaps one of the best Hypertext clones available. It loads up a document and clicking onto words highlighted in bold takes you to linked parts of the text. The demo is in English but the example doc is German. Registered users will be able to use their own documents with the shell an create context sensitive on-line help for their own programs. THE FLIPO DEMO by Oxygene and Diamond Designs - A very noisy introduction kicks this one off. There is no menu, the screens follow each other one after another. The first effect is a bouncing filled ball which distorts itself. This is followed by a time tunnel which is made of dots, through which you are moving at speed. There's cubes with faces on them and a very clever morphing effect when the demo's title appears and then explodes into lots of dots which quickly form into shapes. These shapes in turn then change into different shapes. Other graphical effects include the coders' names going across the screen rotating within a static window, five spinning coloured balls, etc. The credits are at the end and use miniature pictures of what you have just viewed to show who is responsible for what. This is another great demo from Oxygene and partners Diamond Design. OCTALYSER STE V0.96 by New Trend - An eight channel soundtracker program. The sampler/sample editor MIDI options and ability to load sound samples and a few other bits and pieces will be included in the registered version. Octalyser supports Noisetracker 15 sample and 30 sample formats using 4 channels an expanded Noisetracker format which uses 8 channels Startrekker Amiga 31 sample formats with 4 or 8 channels Octalyser Amiga 31 sample 4 6 or 8 channel formats as well as its own It also allows the use of UMP modules which when applied to standard MOD files allows you to hear them at 50khz in 16-bit stereo. Octalyser behaves perfectly on a Falcon as long as you don t try running it from a 2 colour mode. Also it usually complains about not finding its RSC file when it s on the disk This is the only tracker program which allows you to replay sounds which were sampled at 50khz the others are limited to about 30khz . Octalyser has an extensive manual on disk as well as on-line help from within the program. As Octalyser is no longer supported by its authors they are allowing this registered version to be freely distributed. DIGITAL TRACKER V2.01 - A very powerful tracker program. The current version lets you load edit and save Protacker modules and samples only the registered version supports Noisetracker and its own 8 channel format too. Although 8 channels will be supported the current version is a four channel tracker. The sampling and effects menus are disabled in this version as is the ability to load songs and patterns. DIGIPLAY - An ACC supplied with Digital Tracker which plays MOD files at up to 50khz and allows you to set up a list of MODs to play in succession. STOS GBP EXTENSION V4.7 by Neil Halliday - A great STOS extension which adds numerous new commands to STOS Basic. Features include turning on or off the disk drive lights (to pulse in time with music), check to see if a printer is connected, set printer configuration, return the status of certain keys, disable the ALT/HELP key combination, unpack packed files created using most common packers, store multiple files in a single memory bank, load and unpack PC1, TNY and CA1 picture files, mirror any area of the screen, play stereo sound samples at up to 50khz on an STE, set the volume of samples replayed on an STE and much more.... Register with the author for the compiler version of this extension. STOS EXTRA EXTENSION v3.26 by Martin Cubitt - A massive collection of 57 new commands for use in your STOS Basic programs.

You must help him find it before the battery in his electric wheelchair runs out! Grandad is controlled by the cursor keys or joystick and no typing is required. Full of humour throughout, Grandad is a must for all followers of this type of graphical adventure game. Needs 1 Meg, not TOS 2 upwards. A SELECTION OF C PROGRAM SOURCES , mostly Un*x style utilities brought over from the PC. Some will compile easily on the ST, others need some thought. 2UP - Converts text file to two columns. BAWK - Combines features of Un*x awk and grep. Extracts, searches, edits and prints files. CFLOW - Reads .c file and picks out basic structure as an aid to understanding.

THE AUDIO ARTISTIC DEMO - A collection of 6 originally composed tunes which are selected using the numeric keys 1-6. Look out for the 'ghostly' animation on the menu! TINY DRAW - Quite a good, if not slighly dated, mono art package. It has some interesting brush effects like 'fisheye' and 'spiral'! File support is extensive, though some have become obsolete with time. The documentation is quite good. Of German origin but fully translated into English. SIGI PAINTER - Once again a little dated, judging by the file support, but it has a few tricks up it's sleeve. Mono or colour. MEGAPAINT MODULES by Codehead Software - Absolutely tons of 'mods' to add to one of the very best mono paint packages. Far too many to go into but enough to say that these mods can be edited by name and size. You must have an original of MEGAPAINT before you can make use of these files. If you're a MEGAPAINTER then this disk is a must. TARTARTA - If you like weird things, then this is for you! You can enjoy the real time composing of the artist from your lazy chair, says the doc file. If you like art programs but don't fancy drawing, then sit back and let your computer do it all.

THE DEMENTIA DEMO by Avena - This is one of the better Falcon demos. It features True Colour plasma effects 3D wireframe graphics a 3D journey to the centre of a keftale 3D texture mapped objects including globes which rotate in real time.

THE VEXIRIK MEGADEMO by Megadaz of Black Eagle - An eighteen screen demo written in STOS Basic. The screens contain all the usual scrollers, graphical effects and music. The vector balls demo is surprisingly fast for STOS. One of the demos is a jukebox of 13 pieces of soundchip music. Read the scroller for hints on how to access the three hidden demos. Quite a good demo for STOS, the only annoying thing is that you have to remember to have disk 1 in the drive when exiting any screen. By the way, don't panic when the Draco screen bombs out, it's supposed to! Needs 1 Meg, NOT TOS 2 upwards. CLIP_IT - A page designer which assembles GDOS text and graphics.

You have to match an 'assigned' number with a 'hidden' number and place it on the correct terminal. It ain't easy! GFA source code included. WHOOPSY by Cy Noble - Perhaps one of the most amusing games around. The baby crawls around collecting its toys. The mother chases the baby and the only thing that will distract her is if the baby leaves a 'whoopsie' behind it! This one's a race against time. How many days can you survive? GFA source included. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. CLIP ART (COSTUME THROUGH THE AGES) in IMG format.

PTSRC v 3.T by Lance - Assembler source for replaying Protracker 2.0 MODs at 50khz on an STE! The sources include a 'Paula' emulator and a specially written 'Trash Mode' which sets aside buffers so that an animation can run comfortably at the same time as the MOD is playing. RT by Harun Scheutzow - Measures Interrupt Response Time. In other words, it measures the time taken from the issuing of the interrupt command until the CPU responds. It's useful for comparing the time taken by the different available interrupts to perform the same task or for comparison between interrupts running under different operating systems (different TOS versions, MagiC, Geneva, Multi-TOS etc). Regrettably it's in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. MARK WILLIAMS C SHELL by Dan Wilga - A shell program for MWC which allows up to five source files to be compiled into one PRG.

In addition, you can dial 'Fax-U-Back' services, auto receive incoming faxes when working in another application and maintain a name and address box of fax numbers to make it even easier to fax commonly used numbers. Either the entire package or the send/receive module can be run as an ACC if desired. It is undoubtedly the most polished of all fax software for the Atari, with everything being easily configured from menus and icons. In fact you'd be surprised at just how simple it is to use. This version only imports ASCII text but the registered version includes drivers for many different applications, so that fax files can be generated directly from your favourite word processor or DTP package. In addition, the registered version has a number of bells and whistles not included here. Please note that Junior Office is NOT compatible with Freedom and will seize up if Freedom is installed. Also you need (cSpeedo)GDOS and an appropriate printer driver installed if you want to print out faxes. Needs to be run from hard drive. Very highly recommended. CODING SO FAR by The Megabusters - A two disk demo from a French based crew. This demo is different in that the disks may be used independently or together. The menu is present on both disks so it does not matter which disk you load first. It requires user interaction, in that you have to go around the screens entering the mushroom type cottages to access the demos. The cottages often contain more than one screen and sometimes have hidden screens. The demo screens themselves have all the usual graphics effects and multi-coloured full screen scrollers. There is even a scroller which goes around a maze (viewed from above). The famous balls that zoom around the screens making patterns, also make a customary appearance. There are also some games, several of which are hidden. More data disks are promised as add ons to this demo so it's not all over yet! Highly recommended. LETEMFLY v1.19 - An Auto folder program and configuration accessory which enhances GEM to include moveable dialogue and alert boxes, keyboard shortcuts and better editing in dialogues. Can also switch off 'growboxes'. GUARDIAN v1.0 by MERLIN - Installs non-spreading Anti-Virus on floppies. HIDEFILE - Sets the 'hidden' attribute for a file so it can't be seen from the Desktop. LHARC (versions 1.13.21 and 2.01e) - Compresses and uncompresses .LZH type files. PFXPACK - Program packer which creates self extracting compressed programs (half the disk space, half the loading time). AFX v0.1B - Automatic file extractor, understands both LHARC and PFXPACK file formats. MEGA RIPPER from the Fuzion - Find and extract screens/sprites/music from games and demos. ACCTOOL v1.2 - Multi-purpose accessory for Desktop functions within another program eg; format disk, copy file, get time and date, free mem, set palette. ATTRIBS - Displays and sets/unsets any file attributes. Completewith C source. FASTFLOP v3.2 - TOS patch to (safely) speed up floppy reads and writes. Includes C source. ICE v2.34 - One of the demo-writers' favourite packing utilities. Includes assembler source for depacking.STARTGEM from MUG UK - Enables you to start a GEM program from the AUTO folder. TOS v1.0 & 1.2 only. TCB Tracker modules disk 19 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are SLL1, BEATITUP, CONFUSON, HUNTMOON, FOOTBALL, JACKDANC, NIGHTFAL, TGM, TYO, COMP. THE KOZMIC COMPENDIUM by Dave Henniker - After a runaway success on the Shareware scene, Dave has decided to release Kozmic 4 as Freeware. This three disk set includes a full registered version of Kozmic 4, the complete STOS source to the program, companion program Zonk, the full manual on disk, over forty pictures created with Kozmic and a specially patched version of the program for Mega ST owners (the normal program doesn't run on their machines). For anyone who is unfamiliar with this package, Kozmic is a psychedelic pattern generator with full user control over the patterns generated. As well as creating the patterns, you can zoom, mirror, distort, merge two screens, merge bitplanes and much more. Many of these are accompanied by equally unusual sampled sound effects. There's extensive palette control and a built in slideshow feature too. This latest version has on-line help and if you have an STE and more than 1 Meg of memory, you'll get stereo sound samples as well as the mono ones. Kozmic's two main claims to fame are that graphics created by it were used by the techno-rock group Tranceport on the cover of their CD Tranceglobal and Kozmic graphics were used in a video by a Belgian rock band which was shown on MTV! Kozmic needs at least 1 Meg. CALAMUS SUPPORT DISK 3 - This disk contains a selection of templates, adverts and other bits and pieces for use with Calamus. Most will work with any version of Calamus but some are exclusive to S and SL. BORDER BUNDLE - Allows you to create decorate borders around your Calamus documents. You can choose the dimensions, border type and background/foreground tints. The end result is saved as a CVG for importing into Calamus. FILLPATT - A selection of fill patterns for use with Calamus S or SL. NEWCLHLP - A much more illuminating replacement help file for Calamus 1.09N. The templates are preset guides for creating documents of common types. Those included are for 2 COLUMNS - A template for 2 column text with some useful hints. INVOICES - 2 example invoices which can be customised. CROP MARKS - The graphics needed for using industry standard crop marks and some helpful hints on their use.

SMPLEDAN - The first prize winner in a Calamus competition. This is a collection of advertising type graphics created with Outline Art. FISHGRID - Winner of the 2nd prize in a Calamus competition. This is a grid made up of clip art relating to the fishing industry. Some of the CDKs will require fonts which you may not have. Most of these are available in the fonts section of the catalogue or you can subsitute them for your own. LETS GO MEMO V1.5G by David Sporn - Another matching pairs game. You play on a 6x10 board and select two boxes to open. If symbols hidden behind them match, the doors stay open, otherwise they close. LGM can be played as a one or two player game and there are five sets of symbols to play with. Upon completion of a one player game, you are told the number of moves you took to clear the board. All in French, but simple to pick up. STARTRASH VII by Tommy Software - A marble madness type game for 1 to 6 players. Each player takes his turn separately, continuing until he loses one of his seven lives. Your character is a bouncy ball and you have to bounce around the playing area collecting objects. As you collect objects, you must get past various guardians and climb the stairs to the next part of the level. A single level is likely to take weeks of practice to complete. Just as well because that's all you get in this demo version. The full version features a further 20 levels for those who can rise to the challenge! SHIP BATTLES by Tiberius Software Company - An adaptation of the Battleships and Cruisers theme. It's simple to operate, just type in the grid reference to fire at, and hope for the best. Unlike similar games, you can't cheat by watching where your opponent places his ships. The computer places the ships randomly on the grid, regardless of whether you are playing a one or two player game. Misses are indicated in blue, hits in red. The first one to destroy his opponent's fleet wins. A tally of ships already sunk and those remaining to be discovered, is also displayed. A well presented version of this popular game. STE Only. BLASTER - An up to date re-write of Defender from the arcades (and the 8 bit machines). An excellent shoot 'em up with much improved sound and graphics. MIGHTY MUNCHERS - One of the best Pac Man games ever written. CAVE MINER - An excellent re-write of the old Boulderdash game. PLANET LANDER - Try to land your spacecraft on a planet using joystick or keyboard. You can progress to tougher landing sites if you're good enough. Mono only. TUZZLE - Roland Rat or someone remarkably like him is trying to work his way through a series of underground tunnels. Where one tunnel stops you must move another to join onto the end of it and so on. If Roland comes to a dead end you lose a life. If you complete the level within a specified time limit you get a bonus. TOS 1.0 only. BUMERANG - A breakout type game. You don't start hitting the ball as usual,the ball drops down from a random location and you have to hit it. Highly recommended. PUSH ME - A puzzle type game. You must move the shapes around to get the white block from the bottom right to the top left of the puzzle. It could take years! Push me does not work with the mono emulator, the others do. Blaster and Mighty Munchers are colour only, the other games are mono only. AB40FIX by Doug Little - If you have recently fitted an Afterburner accelerator and are experiencing key stuck/key repeat/mouse movement problems you need this program. The problem is caused by timimg problems with certain programs usually those written in Pure C or Turbo C and this program patches the offending applications to cure the problem. ACCESSORIES V2.0 by Mickael Cousin - An Auto folder program which lets you load up your ACCs from any location on your hard drive even from inside a folder . Docs in English and French. ATORIC v0.3 by Christian Peppermueller - An Oric 1/Oric Atmos emulator. It is a near perfect emulation of this once popular 8-bit micro dating back to about 1983-85 with the exception that there is no easy way to port Oric programs across from the original tapes. Runs at about 40 of the speed of a real Oric on a 16Mhz Falcon. Docs in English and German. MULTISTRIP V0.2 by Thomas K nneth - A task manager for GEM programs. It looks like the taskbar in Windows 95 and behaves similarly allowing you to select any currently running task by clicking its button. It also features a Caps Lock indicator and clock as well as pop-up menus which let you perform various actions on the selected task. Only runs if N.AES or MagiC are installed. SEABAER - Logs activity under MagiC. It notes what time you started up MagiC and what time your session was terminated. There s masses of other information such as whether the session was terminated by a crash shutdown or resolution change and how long your sessions have lasted during the past day month or year. Lots of other statistics are also available. VIDIEDIT by Mauricio Ricaldi - When you save an animation captured by HiSoft s VideoMaster you can set up a default COM file which determines how your animation should be replayed 7 different options are supported . It is normally necessary to edit the COM file manually using a word processor. This program lets you set up the desired display mode and offset positions quickly and easily with a couple of mouse clicks and saves your settings in an appropriate command file. EMUXL V0.3.1 by Konrad Kokosziewicz - An Atari 400/800XL emulator for the TT and Falcon. It runs at about 35 of the speed of a real XL though hardware accelerators do boost performance up to 155 of original speed with Afterburner . It currently emulates Graphics 0 and Graphics 8/24 modes but is under constant development. Like the old Xformer emulator this one uses virtual disk images as the preferred method of accessing the XL software. However individual files on your Atari drives may also be loaded directly. As ever the main problem is porting the files/disk images across from the XL. MiNT N.AES and MagiC compatible CRUSH by James Gaunt - Your city is being bombed by a malicious craft. By using the rubble and bricks around you, you can escape over the walls to live another day. Superb 68000 code and sound effects. A WINTER'S TALE by The Happening Boiz - This is Dizzy Lizzy II with the same addictive gameplay as the original and 40 more levels. Set in a serene Christmas atmosphere, this followup boasts new graphics with transporters, switches, grave stones, snowballs, exploding Christmas puddings and the persistent meanies. Shapeshifters music. BERT THE SQUIRT by John Shepherd - An 8O level game solely designed to help Bert get fatter! Collect the fruits, use fire to bounce on the springs and don't touch the aliens or the spikes. Tremendous fun and super graphics! The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. The Teaparty Demo by The Double Dutch Crew - A truly amazing Mega Demo by a new crew. The reset demo starts you off! Press SPACE to enter the demo proper. The main menu consists of a picture of an ST and some disks. Depending on which demo you insert into the ST on screen, you get one of 11 sub demos. The reset demo's good fun too. Needs 1 Meg. Clip Art in CVG (Calamus Vector Graphic) format (PATTERNS, PICTURES). Files are APG0101, APG0102, APG0103, APG1302, APG1303, APG1304, APG1401, APG1402, APG1403, APG1404, APG1501, APG1502, APG1503, APG1504, APG1601, APG1602, APG1603, APG1701, APG1702, APG1703, APG1704, APG1801, APG2001, APG2002, APG2003, APG2004, APG2101, APG2102, APG2103, APG2104, APG2201, APG2202, APG2203, APG2204, APG2301, APG2302, APG2401, APG2402, APG2403, APG2404, APG2601, APG2602, APG2603, APG2604, APG2801, APG2802, APG2803, APG2804, BPG1201, BPG1202, BPG1301, BPG1302, BPG1401, BPG1501, FRANCE, MICKEY_2, MUSTER02, M_KEGEL, OASIS, WASAREL1, WASAREL2, WASAREL3, WASRELI5, WASRELI6.

A number of graphics are included on disk. Ten character sets for Signum and two more shells. The first shell is icon based and functions are accessed by double-clicking icons. The second shell has many more features. It works on the traditional drop down menus approach. RED CAT RUMMY 500+ by Yam Software - A computer rendition of the popular card game. This implementation is easy to use and features several difficulty levels when competing against the computer. It is also possible to play a two player game over the modem or by connecting two Ataris via a null modem cable. If you're familiar with Rummy you'll love this one. If not, you'll find the rules well explained in the doc. This is a demo version with some features disabled. The full version is available at low cost. TOS 2.05 & 2.06 ONLY. ICON JUGGLER v1.2 - Cuts and pastes icons between RSC, ICN, NIC and ICE files to create resource files for replacement Desktops or DESKICON.RSC in TOS 2 and above.

LH SHELL v2.01 - A GEM shell for the LHARC archiver. ROM_UTILS - A set of programs for saving and manipulating TOS ROMs, for blowing EPROM copies perhaps or creating a RAM loadable version? No docs so some experimentation is required. There are also programs for loading TOS into RAM and relocating. Full docs with these programs. RSCEDIT - Lets you edit the text content of RSC files, handy for translating. UPDMAKER - Compares 2 files (data, text or program) and generates a .ZAP file containing only the differences. This can be distributed along with the Zap program to update the file and the upgrade will only work for owners of original. Ideal for registered Shareware etc. ZeST FORMAT - A disk formatter module and medium res colour routines for the ZeST alternative desktop. Includes GFA Basic source. ICD Utilities v6.60. A major upgrade of the ICD hard drive utilities on UTL.281. This disk contains all the utilities you'll ever need for your hard drive. Please note that you must have the ICD host adaptor board connected to your system before you can use these programs. They will not work with other host adaptors. This version will not work on TT or Falcon internal drives. Contact ICD for the PRO version if you have one of these machines. BIG TOP TYPE -This one should go down well with the small fry. The alphabet is presented in standard QWERTY layout and, upon clicking any letter with the mouse, a 'Big Top' sprite appears at the top of the screen to the accompaniment of digitised sounds and limited speech. A pleasant way of teaching the alphabet to 2-6 year olds. THE ASTRASOFT COLLECTION - An entire disk of Shareware programs from Astrasoft. ALIAS v0.5 - Creates small link programs which hold the full pathname of the program to be run. On TOS 2 upwards, you can even pass parameters to the program. DESKTRACKER V1.30 - A GEM based MOD player which runs as a PRG or ACC. What makes it unique is that it can play at up to 25khz on an ST or STE and up to 50khz on a TT or Falcon.

CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 1990 - A massive collection of useful data on no less than 249 different countries throughout the world. Each entry details geographical, political, economic, military and other data for the respective country. This three disk set represents a wealth of information on the world in which we live. Highly recommended. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 17 - An excellent 256 colour animation created on the PC. MMPROP - The outboard motor and propellor of a boat are reproduced in impressive detail rotating through 360 degrees with everything light sourced and shadows following every movement. Needs 4 Meg. EASE V3 - A replacement Desktop from Germany. It looks similar in some ways to NeoDesk but offers different functionality. Ease can be fully integrated with Kobold and MagiC and has a host of features not normally found in these type of programs. The demo does not allow you to run any programs but everything else seems to be fully functional. It even includes a built-in Help mode! Regrettably, both the Ease program and docs are in German, although the full version is in English. PAPILLON by Application Systems Heidelberg - A rather impressive art package which supports IMG (including colour), Doodle, STAD, Degas, Macpaint, NEO, IFF and GIF formats. Like TruePaint, the tools are attached to the side of the picture within its window. A comprehensive range of tools are included and its colour reduction capabilities are particularly impressive, especially when converting to greyscales. Several pictures are supplied on disk for you to experiment with. Functions in any resolution with up to 256 colours. Multi-TOS compatible, runs on large screens too. Well worth a look. Fully functional except for save. Regrettably, Papillon is in German. ALIEN BUSTERS IV by Decon - A bit reminiscent of Super Bomberman. This is a game for 2-4 players where your mission is to destroy the other player(s). You can determine the number of players and whether control is to be by joystick or keyboard. Up to four joysticks are supported using a parallel port adaptor. It's a simple case of collecting weapons and bonuses and negotiating your way past obstacles to destroy your opponents. Each game consists of several rounds and players can form teams (if there are three or more players). Stereo sound on an STE, no sound an an FM. Needs 1 Mb. AXIS by Ross McNaughton - An excellent brain teaser. You have a grid of 54 blocks, each block containing four triangles of different colours. Your aim is to match up all the triangles in order to form a continuous pattern of diamonds running throughout the grid. Even on level 1 with its seven minute time limit it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Very addictive, easy to control and easy to work out, just VERY difficult to achieve the desired solution! - Illustrations from the turn of the century in IMG format. Files are PLEASE, PROPOSAL,REPORTER, SMOKERS, WISEHEAD, SUFFRAGE. High quality scans including some Japanese woodcuts. INFO '91 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 1/9/91 to 11/9/91. TCB Tracker modules disk 4 by Brian Ross. Files are B_CLOTHS, CONCERT, DREAD2, FACTORY, TITAN, TRILOGY, ZETAORIO. BAND NAME by Dan Wilga - How do pop groups think up their names? Perhaps with this easy to use program! It generates random names (how does Lose Me Blue, Flame Of Death or Meek Sword sound?) suitable for pop groups without any user intervention. Some of them are pretty good too! BUBBLES by Jon Lewis - A terminal protector. If it detects no activity on any of the ports for 1 minute it blanks out the screen and generates floating bubbles. Nice and relaxing to watch! CART_DRV by Dan Wilga - Allows shell programs to run programs contained on a cartridge. It simply renames the 'c' drive to 'P' or whatever else you want to call it and your 'new' drive behaves identically to the cartridge (i.e. you can obtain a directory and run programs but you cannot copy or delete the programs). Q-BACKUP V1.0 by Christian Ernst - Backs up only the files you select from hard drive to floppy. Nice and easy to use but unfortunately without docs. NEWBELL V1.1 by Dan Wilga - Replaces the system bell (warning ping, if you prefer) with a digitised sound of your chosing. Two example bell sounds are supplied although any SPL file will work equally well. EPRO 2.4A - Updates ExtenDOS Pro v2.3, 2.3A or 2.4 to v2.4A. This is only a patch program and is no use to you unless you have an original of the appropriate version of ExtenDOS Pro. If your version is earlier than 2.3, we have other updaters (from v2.0 upwards) on UTL.5545. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 7 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are CRAZY, DRAGON, GOT_YA, INTUITON, KEFTUNE2, MOD3, MOD4. BYTEOVEN - Algorithmic music generator. Enter the number of notes to the bar, the notes' value and tempo to create random music. Results are rather avant garde! NOT STE. D110 EDITOR - For editing the Roland D110 multi-timbral sound module. Save and load individual patches or complete banks. KAOS - A graphical random note generator with the notes scrolling up the screen to a piano keyboard at the top. Control the number, length and spread of notes. Interesting. NOT STE. MIDI ROUTER - Offers MIDI printout, filter and channel controller functions. SATELLITE - Use as an accessory from within your sequencer (if it is GEM based) to save and load sysex dumps, or as a program in its own right. Many instruments are catered for including Korg, Roland, Kawai and Yamaha. Unfortunately no files included. Released by Steinberg into the Public Domain. ROLAND - Editor for D10, D110, D20 and MT32 models. Several editing pages cover tones, patches, timbres, pattern, set-up, track and system variables. Includes tone database facilities. Patches, timbres and tones may be fetched/sent to internal memory either as a complete block or individually. TWOTONE - Converts other tone bank sources (Omnibanker, Dr T, and plain MIDI dump) to Roland type data. Shareware from Alun Jones. CD_ROM.M - C source which (when compiled) allows users to list and download files from any disc in an Atari CDAR504 CD-ROM drive connected to your BBS. ERROR.ACB by James Marson - A handy STOS accessory which lists the meanings of all STOS error codes. Just call it up from within the STOS Basic interpreter and type in the error number for a description. Much faster than looking up the manual! MNTSCALC v6.21 - A port from Unix of the spreadsheet calculator (SC) which runs under Mint/MultiTOS. It completely text based and does not use GEM. However, it does have a number of powerful features. Well documented but not what you'd call user-friendly (unless you are a Unix user of course). PEACEBUG v1.19 by Emanuel Macklin - A powerful symbolic debugger and disassembler which runs in any resolution on the ST/E, TT or Falcon. In addition to 680xx op codes, it also supports all FPU op codes. One of the unique features of this program is its ability to debug a program running on a remote Atari when two machines are connected via the Midi ports. Multi-TOS compatible. It can be run as a TSR or run from the Desktop. Although the program and much of the docs are in English, the main manual is still in German. Highly recommended. BENJAMIN'S ABC - Just what the kids are looking for. This Shareware release is a a simple alphabet book where each picture is described vocally as many times as is wished e.g. 'Z is for Zebra'. Nothing new here you may say, but it uses digitised speech (using DigiSound) and is a PLEASURE to hear. It's so clear that all phrases would certainly be picked up by children and welcomed by parents. Sampled Sounds (Instruments - String, Wind) Disk 2 by Brian Ross . Suitable for use with Quartet, TCB Tracker or any of the PD Soundtracker clones. 84 samples on disk. MODULA-2 PROGRAMMERS' DISK v1.2 - Mostly general but some stuff specific to ANA Systems M2/68k (on LAN.18). It contains info on running M2/68k from a ramdisk, the MicroEmacs v3.10 editor (with Modula-2 macros), a working version of the MATHLIB0 library, and a 100-page Modula-2 tutorial, including many archived sample programs. This disk has all the utilities and full instructions you'll need to set up your system from scratch. New in this update are improved emacs support for Modula-2, minor modifications to the emacs macros and updates to, among other things, the CLI and the M2BUILD utility. The Swimwear Collection Disk 1 - A collection of high quality pictures in GIF format viewer programs included . Pictures are SIAUG86 SIFEB86 SIFEB87 SIJAN86 SIJAN87 SIJUL86 SIMAR86 SIMAY86 SINOV86 SISEP86. THE ANALYST V3 - If commodities, equities or market prices of any kind whatsoever interest you, then this high powered program is a must. The Shareware release allows limited entries in all fields of financial statistics eg; price movements, weighted averages, price gaps, candle charts, price trading, oscillation features etc. A calendar is included as well as extensive HELP features for key commands. Strictly for the professional. Needs 1 Meg. DYNAMICIST v1.1 - Creates models showing the interaction between different atoms in a system. It takes into account the fact that different types of ions repel each other and helps you find the most stable state for a system of atoms. The models created can be displayed as single 3D projections or stereoscopic projections for true 3D. Needs at least 1 Meg, but 2 Meg and a hard drive are recommended. MATH CALC - Allows you to enter mathematical data and create graphs from it. Math Calc also allows you to calculate mean and standard deviation, 3 point moving average, weighted moving average, 4 point centered average, and linear regression. All data is sent to screen rather than printer. POV RAYTRACE V2.2 (ST & TT VERSION) - This is the long awaited followup to POV Raytrace. Although raytracing is always slow, this version is much faster than its predecessor. As with the original, it is extensively documented and comes with source code and some file conversion utilities. New features include improved antialiasing, soft penumbral shadows for extended area lights, simplified torus syntax, three new pigment textures and support for phong shading. In addition, several hundred scenes are supplied for you to render yourself. These are grouped depending on the ability of user they are aimed at. Also included are a number of conversion programs which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones and spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects. For those of you who don't like using CLI's, we've included POVSHELL 1.5 by Dirk Klemms. This three disk set decompresses onto eight DS disks! DEATH OF A PRESIDENT - An impressive 3 disk set which investigates the assasination of John F Kennedy in 1963. The first disk contains a photographic database with accompanying text. The second is a collection of digitised recordings and extensive text files forming the background to the investigation. The final disk takes you to the scene of the crime immediately after it occured. You must investigate and come to your own conclusions. All data is based on evidence given to the Warren Commision and subsequent investigations. A factual historical investigation which pulls no punches. Highly recommended. THE ATARI EXHIBITION - This is one of the best Atari sites on the Internet. It was unforgivable that those of you who are not on-line should miss out on it The Atari Exhibition is something of a collector s item for Atari enthusiasts everywhere and charts Atari s history from its foundation by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 to the merger with JTS Corporation in 1996. There s background information and photographs of almost every computer manufactured by Atari from Pong the rough the 8-bit machines to the ST TT Falcon and eventually the Jaguar. Even the MicroBox proposed successor to the Falcon gets a showing. The launch of the ST at CES is covered and there s photographs of the Tramiels Nolan Bushnell and other celebrities . Although the site is heavily graphical in its nature there s masses to read and it really gives an insight into the rise and fall of Atari Corporation. There s also plenty of live links to other Atari related sites on the Net. Please note same images may require 4Mb and will appear blank if you have insufficient free RAM. In order to use this disk you will require a hard drive and a Web browser such as CAB on FALC.5420 . Clip Art in IMG format MEDICAL 1890 s - 1930 s .

GARCIMORE AIME LES MOULES by Fantasy - A different type of demo. None of the usual effects are there. Instead, they have opted for a more audio/visual production with lots of good tracks which change in sequence with the action on screen. The visual side features several animations, the best of which is that of an insect walking. The credits are twenty three pages long and are luckily kept back to the end of the demo! All the text is in French but don't let that put you off as the demos themselves are worth seeing THE ANOMALY MEGADEMO BY MJJ PRODUCTIONS - The menu for this megademo is similar to the game Marble Madness, where you guide a sphere around a 3D landscape. Unlike Marble Madness, you can't fall off the edge! There are about ten easily accessible screens, plus some which are near impossible to get to. The screens include such novel ideas as Karaoke amongst others! There are guest screens by top coders such as Oxygene, DNT and Future Minds. These feature such things as wire frame objects with scrollers suspended inside, fractals, normal and half size scrollers, with various musical and graphical effects throughout. Just to amuse you, there's a story about Mr Costaud, an odd character who would not be out of place in the Mr Men series! The Anomaly Megademo has a good menu which offers a challenge and you won't be disappointed with the screens either. ALTA LISTA V1.5 by Mathias Jaap - An excellent multi-purpose tool designed for use with the CAB FALC.5420 or Webspace FALC.5886 WWW browsers. It lets you create html files which list all html files in a specified directory. Clicking onto the entry in the list loads up the appropriate html regardless of its location on your drive. Alta Lista can also produce thumbnail catalogues of all IMG PNG GIF or JPG images from a specified directory. In such cases the image name and size is displayed beneath the thumbnail. With image catalogues you also have a link to a list of image names and clicking onto these loads the image at full size. An invaluable aid for keeping track of your downloaded html files or even just for cataloguing the images on your hard drive. STUFIT V16/3/94 by Steve Caple - A Usenet to Fidonet interface. It allows emails from Fidonet BBSs to be sent to the Internet via a UUCP account and vice versa. It works for both personal emails and newgroup postings. You need to have a UUCP account and a Fidonet address so its not offering free Net access. What it does offer is the ability to access your Internet messages from your local BBS or BBS messages from your Internet account and reply from either account for convenience. You will also require COMPRESS JETMAIL LED and of course UUCP software in order to use Stufit. JOE V1.35 by Rajah Lone - A Web page design package similar to WebSpinner. It lets you type text directly onto a blank page or click onto the required tags from drop down menus. An existing html file can be imported or you can start from scratch. The various tags are all grouped under logical headings so it s just a case of selecting the appropriate tag then entering the required text between the start and end tag. OK so you need to know which tags to use but Joe eliminates those all too often syntax errors encountered by those new to html. Finally Joe links into CAB or WebSpace to provide a WYSIWYG environment if running on a multi-tasking OS. Unfortunately both program and docs are in French but the fact that html tags are the same in any language still makes this an invaluable tool. Would anyone like to translate VT102 TELNET V2.00 by Prof Boris Cahan - A VT102 compliant Telnet client for use with STiK and GlueSTiK. Telnet is a method by which you can log in to and communicate with remote computers on the Internet. This program s main claim to fame is in offering VT102 emulation rather than the more usual VT52 as included in Jim Baumgardner s Telnet program. You have an almost complete VT102 emulation with the exception of blinking characters and Tek 404 emulation which are not supported . This is a multi-tasking friendly GEM program making it very easy to get to grips with. It can also be used as the default Telnet program within CAB. Terminal size and point size can be configured to suit. The program uses its own fonts in order to create the necessary VT102 characters. The only restriction this places on you is that you must have Speedo GDOS or NVDI loaded otherwise the program will not run. PRIME - A listing of the first 100,000 prime numbers and a C program which can be used to calculate them. This text is not subject to copyright. Cyber Paint animations . Chick 88 - A chicken running around the screen. Cola-Wars - A take off of the Star Wars theme. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are BORDER6, BORDER7, BORDER8, BOY00013, BOY00014, BOY00015. ASTEROIDS v1.2 by Sinister Developments - A reworking of the classic asteroids game. Manoevre your spacecraft to avoid the asteroids. Fire at them to destroy them, but steer clear of the debris! Control is either by keyboard or by joystick. Try to destroy the asteroids and avoid the flying saucers. Simple but addictive gameplay throughout. Colour or mono! THIRD DIMENSION, Issue 21, January 1996 - Another issue of the only diskmag for 3D Construction Kits users. This issue features a tutorial on the use of Brushes, BrushAnims, Colour Remapping, The LOCK functions and Game Intros. There's some Kit 2 Tutorial game files, ideas for creating rooms and some uses for them, an example area called BIGCITY from VR City and some KUNG FU SAMple sounds from Robin Ball. Absolutely loads of Kit files for you to use, along with some IFFs, 3WDs etc. If that's not enough, there's also PD Lists, VR News, PenPals, Letters and Reviews. This magazine should not be missed if you are a *True* 3D user, whether a newcomer or an experienced user because there is something here for everyone. BERZERK by Dave Munsie - A new version of the classic robot warfare arcade game. You chase around a series of rooms trying to eliminate as many of the defending robots as possible avoiding collision with the walls which will lose you a life. Good use of sampled speech throughout the game. A no frills classic game which is fun to play and very addictive. MAGNO-BALL by JV Enterprises - Catch the ball using your joystick controlled ship a magnet will fix it to the front of your ship then guide it towards your opponent s goal. Beware contact of any kind with the edges of the playing area or your opponent will result in the ball escaping. Once the goal is in sight shoot. This is the sort of game that looks much easier than it really is but it will have you coming back for just one more try RUCKSACK by Ozzy Omara - A demo of what can be achieved using the 3-D Construction Kit. It s not a game as such just an opportunity to explore a number of corridors using the mouse to click on the relevant icon to aid your progress. OXYD RGB - Dongleware s popular puzzle game. Guide your black marble around the screen opening a pair of Oxyds as you go. If the pair match in colour and design they stay open otherwise they close again. Open all the Oxyds and you progress to the next level. Objects can be picked up and both hazards and nasties try to impede your progress. Level codes are given so that you can re-start the game at a later date. This Shareware version has 10 complete levels. Remember to read the doc file before running this game otherwise it won t work Needs 4 Meg RGB or TV ONLY. AUDIO-BASS v1.0 by James Tilbury - Do you have a record/tape/CD collection so big you can never find anything in it? This simple Shareware database is what you need. Only really useful for this one function, but simple to use without being overcomplicated by unnecessary extras. BLITZSCHNELL CLI v0.4ž by Erin M. Monaco - A very much cut down version of Blitzschnell on UTL.3723. It takes up only 10K of memory and is intended for use from a CLI. The program is an exceptionally fast hard drive defragmenter and optimiser. Valid drive options are C-P, so it will not work on floppy disks. Note that this is a Beta version, so it may misbehave. CDROM - Atari's Falcon compatible (works on the ST/E and TT too) CD-ROM driver for Multi-TOS. Place in the root directory of your boot partition and away it goes. You can specify the drive letter and SCSI ID number. Please note that this driver ONLY runs under Multi-TOS (or other similarly structured multi- tasking operating systems). GRAMMARIAN V1.1.0 by Dan Panke - A grammar checker for text files. Postcardware (if you like it, sent the author a postcard). Allows you to edit the checks made and to include your own. Doesn't seem to be as powerful as the sort of dedicated checker included in some word processing programs, but it is just as annoying! HDFREE PRO v2.0 by Paul Vermeulen - Displays hard drive statistics i.e. free space, number of files and folders, etc. Reports can be printed out. MANVIEW by Ulrich Kuehn - A Shareware UN*X-style manual displayer program. Designed for use with MiNT or MultiTOS. MAUS-WINDOW v1.32 by Thomas Binder - Automatically "tops" the window under the mouse pointer. Also works under MultiTOS. Can run either as an Accessory or by double-clicking from the Desktop by changing the extension. MOVIES AT NIGHT V1.1 - An extendo-save module for use with Codehead's Warp 9 screen accelerator. It allows you to replay animations when screen blanking is being performed with Warp 9. Two example movies are included. Please note that you require Warp 9 v3.7 or later in order to use this module. POOLROOM MANAGER by John Fermor - A pool league maintennance program. It differs from other league table programs of this type in that it handles the actual match data. This means that you will always have an accurate league table on disk and can call up any match for analysis at a later date. Well presented with a custom written graphical interface, this program has lots of features including the ability to remove any team from the league and adjust the rest of the league appropriately. Numerous sort options are available for the league table and the scoring system can be user defined if so required. Highly recommended for everyone involved in competition pool. PGS_CFG v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your Pagestream import/export driver setup easily ng simple mouse clicks. MASTER PRINT V1.0 by ESS - A cut down printing module from Master Browse. It can be installed as the default file printer and can queue up files for printing. Master Print operates within a GEM window and allows other programs to run while it is printing. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. UNZIP V5.1 - This is a port of Info-ZIP's UNZIP utility from Unix. Although it is fairly compatible with ZIP files created with PKZIP on the PC and STZip on the ST, it is primarily intended as a general tool for decompressing ZIP files across different platforms such as Unix, VMS, OS/2, Windows, AmigaDOS etc. Two versions are included, one for the 68000 based ST, the other for the TT, Falcon and 68020 (or better) accelerated STs. RSC DEMO - Example code aimed at the novice using RSC files with GFA Basic. You will require GFA Basic v3.07 or later and Digital Research's RSC Construction Kit in order to make use of these examples. TIMECODE V1.0 by Leo de Wit - Used to calculate the time (expressed in clock ticks) it takes to perform any specified 68000 instruction or set of instructions (up to 32 at any one time). UNCLE ALERT V1.03 by Carl Hafner - A nice friendly utility which lets you create alert boxes with the minimum of fuss. Click onto the required alert symbol, type in your text and press the TEST button to view the result! When you are happy with your creation, it may be saved out in LST format for incorporation into your own GFA Basic programs. A number of example alerts are included on disk. UNCLE MOUSE V2.08b by Carl Hafner - Primarily a mouse pointer editor. When you are happy with the results, it can be output in CUR or DAT formats for programs which support mouse pointers in these formats or LST format for incorporation into your own GFA Basic program. Also included is a program which loads and displays your mouse pointers. Lots of example mouse pointers are included on disk. The Reanimators Music Demo - Plays eight top quality MOD files along with animation, scrolltext etc. There's a hidden screen, can you find it? DBA MAG #4 (Aug '92) by The Disk Busters Association - Also known as The Ultimate Compilation Diskmagazine. It features the very best of the articles from issues 1,2,3 and 5! If you want to know why 5 came before 4, all is revealed in this issue. The entire STOS and GFA programming series' are repeated as well as the best of the rest. There's also a selection of 5 great tunes to listen to. Be warned, there's some bad language. Needs 1 Meg. OPUS NO 1 - A game in which two remote controlled space glider have to find and destroy each other. The first glider is controlled by the player and the second by the computer. For every hit you'll get one point to add to your personal point account. Points earned are carried forward to future games. Before you start the game you are able to make bets with points already earned from previous games. ROBOTER - Move the man through throughout the playing area collecting various objects. Dodge the nasties and don't bumb into the bombs! THINKER - A block puzzle of numbers. Choose the grid size (3x3 up to 10x10) and move the blocks around until you get them into the correct numerical sequence. Truly mind boggling! DRAW POKER v2.01 - A simulation of the popular casino poker machines found in various gambling resorts. It is played just like these machines except that the payoffs are done in fantasy coins (which is fortunate or unfortunate depending on how Lady Luck is treating you). Therefore, if you are familiar with these machines, you should not have any trouble figuring out how to play this game. RAMSES - A board game which is not unlike Draughts. The pieces look the same, the board is drawn differently and the gameplay is mind boggling to say the least. Can you rise to the challenge? RUNNER'S REVENGE - A rather impressive 'Loderunner' clone. Arcade action with matchstick men! Good fun. THE SYNERGY DEMO by EXCEL - A five part demo created entirely using STOS Basic. Select the demos by using the keys 1 to 5 from the main menu. Good standard for STOS Basic. Includes full source code on disk. DREAMZONE by The Wild Boys - Once you're past the introduction which uses fading text and parallax scrolling balls, you load the main menu. It is a platforms and ladders type affair which scrolls in all directions. You have to guide Cool J Charlie around the screen to find the doors which lead to the demos. Not all the screens are easy to reach and it's quite a chellenge getting into some of them! Effects used include vector balls and full screen effects with scrollers. The megatwister screen is very impressive with numerous special effects. There is also a guest screen by Nexus and a demo of a game by The Wild Boys. Dreamzone is a good two disk demo with a nice playable menu and plenty of screens. STOS BASIC FALCON SUPPORT DISK - A collection of STOS Basic eXtensions which make the language more compatible with the Falcon. Please note that all extensions are now TOS 4.02 compatible unlike the last release . FALCON 030 SYSTEM CONTROL EXTENSION V3.1 by Anthony Hoskin - Adds 50 new commands to STOS. These allow you to change the CPU and Blitter speed switch the cache on/off switch the caps lock on/off switch on/off the IDE drive emulate the STE s system bus determine which machine you are running on read the extended joystick ports and much more. FALCON 030 VIDEO EXTENSION V4.4 - Adds 60 new graphics commands to STOS Basic. It allows you to use the Falcon s enhanced 16 colour and 256 colour resolutions on RGB and VGA monitors.

FALCON 030 3D MENU MANAGER V1.0 by Anthony Hoskin - Replaces STOS s menu bar with a 3D menu strip. In addition the STOS file selector is replaced by a jazzed up 3D variant. The author hopes to create a full 3D windowing system eventually. FALCON 030 DSP TRACKER EXTENSION V1.02 by Anthony Hoskin - This replaces the old tracker player with one which uses the DSP for speed. Yes a DSP extension for STOS The result is that tracker music can now be played without slowing down the system. A few example MODs are supplied on the disk as is an example program which shows how the new commands work. All extensions on this disk are well documented. They are supplied in a self- extracting archive so you ll need a hard drive in order to use this disk. FALCON GRAPHIC EXTENSION FALCON AUDIO EXTENSION by Anthony Jacques - Adds lots of new commands to STOS Basic which allow it to take advantage of the Falcon s improved hardware. STOS can be started from Falcon resolutions once these extensions are installed.

Files are JFACES, JGEISHA, JGEISHAS, JPARASOL,JWMNBABY, JWMNSCRL, ALDERMEN, A_TOAST, BABOTTLE, BALCONY, COLONEL, GALLOWS,High quality scans including some Japanese woodcuts. JOVE V4.9 - The Atari version of this popular Unix text editor. JOVE is a modified version of EMACS but has gained popularity in its own right. If you"re used to GEM based text editors like Everest, forget this one! It"s entirely text based and blatantly unfriendly to the newcomer. Having said that, if you"ve used JOVE or EMACS on another machine, you"ll take to this like a duck to water. It"s a 100% faithful implementation of JOVE. Although purely text based, it supports the editing of multiple documents, cutting and pasting between documents, search and replace and everything else you"d expect. Its strength comes in the form of its in-built command language and the ability to run predefined macros. JOVE is supplied along with the Gulaam command shell and includes (ZIPped) C source code. DELTA FORCE GOES SVERIGE - This demo is basically a collection of 22 photographs taken by Delta Force on their visit to Sweden for the Megaleif Coding Convention in April 1992. Each photograph is accompanied by some descriptive text and the music is by Big Alec of Delta Force. Many photographs of the top European demo writers. MISCELLANEOUS NOVELS - A collection of three out of copyright novels. Texts on disk are Narrative Of The Life Of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave by himself, The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, and War Of The Worlds by H G Wells. Music files created with Microdeal's Quartet . Please note that you need Quartet in order to use this disk. Files are AXEL_F, BRAIN, CUBIK, OH_YEAH?, SILENCE1, SILENCE2, SILENT1, SILENT2, SYSTEMV2, SYSTEMV4. ICONS - A collection of GIF images of icons grabbed from the PC or Mac which can be imported into Interface and other Falcon icon editors for use on your Desktop. There are 24 flags and 30 miscellaneous files most of which contain several icons each. DESKTOP TEXTURES by Avernus - A collection of 26 impressive textures created on the Mac which can be used as Desktop backdrops using Deskpic FALC.3982 Ease or most other replacement Desktops. All are created to file seemlessly and form a continuous pattern on your Desktop. As good as they are these are merely samples from a larger collection. TEXTURES - 12 more excellent Desktop textures from an unknown source. TILES - Another 38 Desktop textures from another unknown author. These are probably the best of the three collections in my opinion. S_BALL by Jens Thoms Toerring - A rather unusual screen saver generates constantly moving images when computer is idle so as to prevent monitor damage . It runs as an ACC and rather than clearing the existing screen it generates bouncing balls all over it. You can set the delay time number of balls and speed of the balls but the more balls on screen the slower they move. A pleasant change for the usual screen savers. Icludes ST and TT/Falcon version as well as source code in C and assembler. TWINSYNC - When you connect a multi-sync monitor to the Falcon the shifter chip generates two v_sync pulses instead of one. This upsets Protracker and other programs. Twinsync traps every second pulse and cures the problem. SHUTDOWN V1.5 by Alexander Barton - A replacement Shutdown program for MagiC MagiC PC and MagiCMac. It is configurable from an INF file and allows you to perform a warm or cold reset of MagiC or a complete shutdown. The shutdown process can be interrupted and you can specify how individual programs are shut down i.e. whether you are prompted to save data or not . DOMAGIC by Alexander Barton - When used in conjunction with Shutdown it lets you restart MagiC from TOS without having to reboot. TCB Tracker modules disk 30 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are OUTRUN, IMPOSSA, OSWALD, STRYX. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts to some of William Shakespeare's comedies. This disk contains Pericles, Taming of the Shrew, Troilus and Cressida, Twelfth Night, Winter's Tale. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. FAITH by Dune - Another multi-screen demo featuring dot generated mountains, rotating 3D objects (which include bouncing wireframe cubes half filled with water), and stars, to name some of the objects. Other effects include the dot generated time tunnel, 'rubber' vector graphics, solid '4D' objects cutting through each other and extensive use of flash graphics throughout. Another worthwhile offering from Dune. ET4000 DIY GRAPHIC CARD PROJECT - This is a Shareware DIY project in which you create the necessary hardware to connect an ET4000 VGA graphic card (designed for a PC) to your ST. It includes PCB layouts in Laserjet/Deskjet and HP Graphic Plotter formats ready to print out and use as templates for the adaptor. There's also lots of IMG files detailing the layout inside your ST and how to go about the necessary modifications. Finally, there is video mode generation software which will allow you to set up your VGA monitor for all supported resolutions. This project concentrates on fitting the adaptor to the Mega ST's VME Bus, but also gives details of how to modify the design to be used on any ST. Once set up, you can expect to achieve resolutions of up to 1024x768 (dependent on your monitor) in 256 colours and True Colour! The project is supplied packed onto two disks and requires to be extracted to hard drive where it occupies over 7Mb of space! The software and the docs for the software are in both English and German, although the docs on the hardware are all in German (although we've done a RUF translation). ET4000 cards are available cheaply nowadays and the Shareware fee is modest. Your main cost will be in terms of time. Please do NOT undertake this project unless you are knowledgeable in electronics. 1ST DOT - A collection of 1st Word (not Wordplus) printer drivers for the Atari SMM804, Brother 10P, Canon Bj-10e, Citizen 120D, Epson (JX80, LX80, LQ800, RX80), Hp Deskjet (+ and 500), MP165, NEC P2200, OKI (92, 182, 192) Panasonic (KX-P1080, 1091, 1092), Roland PR1215, Seikosha GP-100A, Star (LC10, LC10C, NX10, SG10), Tandy TRS-80. 1WP2FAX v1.5 - Converts a 1st Wordplus document into an IMG file at the correct resolution for transmitting using STFax, QFax, Junior/TeleOffice and STraight FAX.

You specify how many characters per line and lines per page are suitable for your printer and how large the gap between the columns should be. Suitable for HP Deskjet (not Laserjet) and Epson and compatibles. EDWIN - A tiny text editor which only uses up 10k of memory. It is restricted to handling files of up to 2k in size. Ideal for writing readmes. Runs as an ACC or PRG. HP2WWDRV - A Wordwriter ST printer driver for an OKI 400 laser printer. It should also allow Word Writer to drive an HP Laserjet. HPDJ5005 - A 1st Wordplus printer driver for the HP Deskjet 500 (IWB5). KXP CONF by Martin Maisey - A configuration utility for the Panasonic KX-P1123. It gives access to many of the features ignored by most printer drivers. Since it"s an ACC, it can be used within most word processors. GFA source included. LQ SET - Allows you to set pitch (10cpi, 12cpi, 15cpi or 17cpi) print style, margins, lines per page and so on, with the Epson LQ series of printers. Pascal source included. SCRIBE V1.2 by Eric Chapman - A fully fledged GEM based word processor which allows up to 10 documents in memory and 10 clipboards. All commands available on the menus have keyboard equivalents and the program includes on-line help which can be called up at any time. It"s so full featured, yet easy to use, that you don"t even need to read the 19 page manual which is included on disk. SPELL V2.8 - A GEM based spell checker which works with both ASCII and 1st Word files. The dictionary is supplied empty but uses a standard ASCII text file as its data file. We recommend that you use the dictionary file on WRD.21. MSB_ANSI by Mark S Baines - These three GDOS bitmapped fonts are equivalent to the three Atari system fonts and based on them, but include the ANSI characters suitable for comms on-line use and those using so-called IBM printer fonts in their word processor. In effect, the fonts are those officially called PC-8 Code Page 437 on the PC. Protext users will find them particularly useful. The included docs explain how to set them up in the ASSIGN.SYS file for use with NVDI or install them under NEODesk. TEDDY TERM V2.14 by Uncensored Software - A complete terminal program which uses ANSI, VT100, VT52 & ASCII terminal emulations. Can be set for virtually any imaginable configuration. Its many options include modem setup, rough call costing, X-Modem, Y-Modem and Z-Modem support, RS232 buffer sizes, ST, Mac or PC font, use of both left and right mouse buttons and auto logon sequences. If fact Teddy Term can even 'learn' logon sequences and save these for future use! Up to 45 BBS numbers can be stored in the dial directory and up to 40 keyboard macros can be used to help cut down on your on-line typing. Different capture buffers can be set up for different BBS's and for different days with data being stored for up to 21 days. This latest version also supports the Jekyll file transfer protocol which lets you send and receive at the same time. Jekyll and XYZ transfer programs are also included with the package. Teddy Term is not GEM based but instead employs the use of pop-up menus to configure everything. Powerful, yet easy to set up and use. Highly recommended.

One of the best games in our collection. Colour Only. No, it's not from Budgie UK! GALERIE - A German card game which runs in high or medium resolution. TOS 1.0 only. 68000 Assembler - a well documented one at that. Disk also includes Text editors and a Disassembler. This disk is a must for anyone wishing to dabble in assembly language without forking out a fortune. SB-PROLOG v3.1 from University of Arizona - A full Prolog language and compiler ported from Unix. It performs at about 5100 LIPS (logical inferences per second) on the ST and needs at least 1MB of RAM, preferably more. Includes source and a user guide (in nroff format), but a beginner would need more info. FUN TIME 1 AND 2 by The Happening Boiz - Another great educational offering from Budgie aimed at children aged 3 to 6. This disk is crammed with delightful tuition on many subjects like shapes, keyboard, mouse, clock, pictures, money, seasons and so on. With graphics by Eddie Bryan and fine animations. This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. BLITTER MANIA by Sedma - Starts off with a spinning Atari computer before going into lots of other moving solid 3D objects which include chessboards, helicopters, planes, etc. The demo has a couple of scrollers, the first of which is made up of 3D letters which come towards the viewer. The second scroller is near the end and has the credits and features the greetings appearing on a wall. An excellent example of the STE's ability to move three dimensional objects. STE ONLY. BUDGIE'S ASTROLOGY by Andy Osborne and Danielle Le Marais - If you are one of those people who think that the horoscopes in the daily papers are a load of cobblers, we'd probably agree with you and instead suggest you look at this program. Using accurate scientific data, it can calculate the exact position of the Sun, Moon and Planets for any minute of any day past, present or future. Comprehensive tutorials and exercises help to interpret this information and produce a horoscope far more accurate than any newspaper column. Works in colour or mono. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. A COLLECTION OF ARCADE TYPE GAMES FROM THE ST. THE LAST ARCADIAN - The year is 2389 and you control a squadron of craft who must free the solar system of invaders. Your objective is to destroy enemy bases. The joystick controls your pilot s eye view of the terrain and various keys help you in your destructive task. INVADERS - Blast the aliens as they descend and shoot spaceships which fly overhead to gain extra points. Clearing one screen allows access to further levels of manic play. ORBIT - An Arkanoid clone. These top quality games also include built-in editors so that you can create or customise levels to your own requirements. JUSSE - An arcade game by Chris Skellern. You control a small spaceship with which you must try to collect 8 blue coccoon pods. These must be returned to your mothership. You must negotiate tunnels and avoid sentinals as you search for these pods. KABOOM by Dave Munsie - A classic Tetris type game where you have to catch the falling blocks before they reach the bottom of the screen. You begin with three lives each loss of life reduces the size of the pad you use to catch the blocks. Very smooth and frantic gameplay. MS PAC - A fast action multi-level Pacman clone. Great graphics animation and sound but you have to be quick with the joystick Great fun. PD BOLO - This game is from Germany but pressing F6 puts the options into English. It is an Arkanoid clone and a very good one at that. Mono or colour. Needs 1 Meg of memory. SUPER BREAKOUT - A mono Arkanoid clone. Packed full of extras this must be one of the best yet BRIKYARD - A breakout type game with options to vary the size of the bat and the ball. WORMS - A sort of Pacman clone in which you play a worm rather than a pacman ERIC GILL WOODCUTS - Three disk set of engravings and woodcuts created by master typographer, sculptor and wood engraver, Eric Gill. All scanned at 400 dpi. Files are BORDER10, BORDER_9, COLOPH_1, COLOPH_2, COLOPH_3, COLOPH_4, COLOPH_5, LEAVES_1, LEAVES_2, LEAVES_3, LEISURE, FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 3 - A collection of 256 colour animations created on the PC. A player program is supplied. BBOOP - Watch cartoon character Betty Boop mixing up the ingredients for her next baking session. CLOCK05 - An alarm clock with a happy face rings spins around the screen and goes crazy LASTHE01 - A texture mapped 3D humanoid head rotates through 360 degrees complete with light reflecting off the moving head. CLOCK05 won t run on a 1 Meg machine. THE TOP NOTCH MUSIC COLLECTION VOL 3 - Two chip music players by Wheee The Fibble and A Clockwork Orange, collectively known as Top Notch Software. One runs as an accessory and the other as an application. Between them they recognise music drivers by MadMax, Count Zero, Crispy Noodle, Lap, Big Alec, Synth Dream, SMF, MUF, LTK, Megatizer, Zound-Dragger, Undead, TAO, Ralph, Xenex, Trimod, Nexus, Ben Daglish, Misfit, Titan, Lary and Eagle (phew!). The disk includes 199 music files! THE SPITTING FISH by Stein Arne Jensen - A great game which serves as a 'carrot' to get the child's attention. The 'real' program on the disk is DICE TABLES. The game itself is great, you play a mother spitting fish trying to feed her young. You have to aim at flies and 'shoot' them down. At the end of each level, you progress to dice tables to try to earn enough points to return to the game at the next level. Dice tables is simply a times tables testing program where the numbers are displayed on die. The questions asked can be edited by the parent to take account of the skill level of the child. The program has English, German, French, Dutch and Norwegian language options and STOS source is included. Highly recommended. The programs on this disk are former BUDGIE UK titles. THE BIG NIGHT OUT #1 by The Corruption - A new disk mag which shows a bit of promise. It nearly runs in mono, perhaps next time! This issue features news, reviews and an STE column. It looks at alternative Desktops, lists all STE specific software (PD and commercial), pop music reviews, 9 games reviews, 8 PD reviews, lots of game cheats, programming articles for GFA Basic and assembler. Numerous other articles are included as well as some PD on disk. Digi Synth 5 by The Wild Boys - The usual intro followed by a main menu from which you can select 9 MOD files. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are OAKFRA, OBSERVAT, OFFICE, OFFICE2, OFFOLK1, OFFOLK2, OFFOLK3, OFFOLK4, OFFOLK5, OH_YEAH, OIL2, OIL3, OLDCAR, OLDCAR1, OLDCAR2, OLDCAR3, OLDCAR4, OLDCARA, OLDHOU1, OLDHOU2, OLDMAN, OLDPLANE, OLIVIA1, OLIVIA2, OLIVIA3, OLIVIA4, OLIVIA5, ON_FLASH, ON_TABLE, OPENDR, OPENING, OPENMENU, OPI1, OPI2, OPUS, OPUS2, OPUS3, OPUS4, OUTORD. WARP Issue 1 - A new diskzine aimed solely at all you Trekkers out there (although the aim is to convert non Trekkers as well!). Yes, it's all about Star Trek and it shows, with the shell featuring a view of Outer Space as seen from the Starship Enterprise. Simply move to any planet and press SPACE to load the article 'attached' to it, complete with atmospheric sound and graphics. Unfortunately you need 1 Meg in order to use the custom written interface but there's a smaller displayer program included for half Meg users, so that they can still read the articles. With over 700k of unpacked text, this issue is set to make an impressive entrance into the diskmag arena. Articles include the text to the recently televised interview of William Shatner by Danny Baker, The A-Z of Trek, Borg Jokes, a Deep Space Nine story and short interviews with various Star Trek characters. Warp also features the usual letters and adverts along with various quizzes (answers given!). Checklist lists all Star Trek episodes currently available and there is also an up to date list of official Star Trek fan clubs, conventions and dates as well as a list of local groups. If you are a Star Trek fan of any description, this one is for you. MINI MAGIC STORYBOOK - Most Atari users will be familiar with the commercial 'Magic Story Book' by J and R Dunn. This product was hailed by most reviewers as an excellent method of programming stories in book format with both text and sprites. As such it was released on an ST Format cover disk. This disk contains the Shareware release MINI MAGIC STORYBOOK and the registered version takes the user beyond the commercial version of MAGIC STORYBOOK. The unregistered version on this disk will give you a good idea of what to expect from the full product. NOT TOS 2 upwards. SCARY by Eddie Bryan - This is one of the most original games I have ever seen. You are a bat and must fly through a haunted house trying to find a large metal ball which is hidden somewhere in the house. You must avoid hitting any of the nasties you meet on your quest (ghosts, hands, flying axes etc). Both graphics and sound are excellent. This can be described as an arcade adventure and is one of Budgie's best. IMPULSE by Ian Grainger - An excellent shoot 'em up which requires a great deal of strategic planning. Fire at a ball then press fire again for the ball to fire. Moving the joystick ensures that the line of fire is deflected at the appropriate angle. Your aim is to shoot the aliens before they pass through the screen. Kill them all and you'll progress to the next level. An easy version has also been put on the disk for those who need the extra lives. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. STOSSER 29 - Deano returns with the first issue of 1997. A nice new menu style for a new year. This one features a barrel scroller from which you select your article. Articles include 101 ways to crash your ST, the creation of Mobsters City, porting files from the ST to the Amiga and converting STOS source to AMOS (for use on the Amiga). Reviews are of Diamond Ice, Heartland, Creatures and the TUS high density upgrade kit. The STOS A-Z continues with Q, there's part 2 of the Invader tutorial, part 3 of the Platform tutorial and part 2 of the Sprite tutorial. Other tutorials look at the Missing Link Map Editor and Make programs. Other features include games tips, a piece on the Box and Line commands, some jokes and most of the regular features. An invaluable aid for all STOS programmers. TCB Tracker modules with player program . Files are CRAZY DEAD_COP FLIGHT GOTSWING IWMC JOLLYJOG LSTNINJA PUSHIT RAINBOW SQUARTET CHOPPER CRYSTAL DANGER DREAMS2 DUNGEON GOLDRUNN SKY14 SPACESCR STARSEEK. SSD PATCHES - A disk full of Sorcerer Sound Productions' patch files, including voices for Roland D-110 module and other D-series synths, Roland GM70 Guitar controller, Yamaha 4 op synths, Yamaha TX81Z (in General MIDI format) and drum patterns for Yamaha RX21. Also on the disk are two accessories for loading and transferring files via MIDI, SYSXPRESS and MINI_DUMPSTOR. BUDGIE UK PROGRAMMER'S 68000 LIBRARY v47 - The entire collection of machine code routines developed by Budgie UK over the past three years. It is necessary to have a suitable assembler such as Devpac or Devpac 2 in order to use these routines. This disk should not be dismissed by non-games writers as many of the routines can be used equally well in serious applications. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. DISK TIMES 1.5 - This issue serves as a stepping stone between issues 1 and 2, but is a good issue in it's own right! Articles include an interview with the entire Synergy Software crew, a 'Do we need demo compilations?' article, lots of games cheats, a great humour section, 15 reasons why your life should turn to catastrophe, same words different circumstances and a very good 'did you know?' section. Read all about angels, the entire 42kb scroller from PYM, and get up to date with the latest videos, books, CDs and magazines. The best thing about this magazine in my opinion is the interface because it scrolls the text faster and smoother than Revenge (though it doesn't have page up/page down etc;) and plays soundtracker modules whilst you're reading. All it needs now is one of those nice Grapevine tunes from the Amiga! THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 10 - Contains the following fonts:- LANCASTER, LINASTYLE, LIQUIDS, LITHUANIA, LITHUANIA BOLD, LITHUANIA LIGHT, MACHO, MATHS, MEMORY, MERSEY, MISTRESS, MONOLITH, MONOLITH ITALIC, MONOLITH BOLD, MONOLITH BOLD ITALIC. SPRITE WORKS DEMO DISK - A number of small games, demos and routines written in GFA Basic with the Sprite Works development kit (FWP.19C) and designed to show what can be done with this extension. Many of the games are included as standalone versions and are ready to play. Here's a quick run down of what's on disk:- BOMB'S AWAY - A dynablaster game where you must find the exit, place bombs to destroy weak walls and collect bonuses. GOIN' DOWN WITH THE CAPTAIN - A platform game with well drawn sprites and challenging action, which takes place on board a ship. You must seal leaking pipes, collect lifebouys and avoid crabs. A good game for younger users. SATURN'S RINGS - An asteroids type game. SLUG BLAST - Yet another platform game, the object of which is to destroy slugs using pellets, then find the exit. PLATFORM - You must collect sweets and either jump on, or avoid the enemy. Seperate ST and STE versions supplied. RACER - A single level dirt track car racing game where you must complete the course in as quick a time as possible. Finally, there's a couple of demos entitled BALLS and DEMO, which show off other aspects of the development system. A disk of particular interest to programmers, but containing some very playable games too. MISCELLANEOUS CLIP ART - A collection of IMG clips converted from the PC. Files are ASTRONUT, BULLDOG, CHEERS, COFFEE3, COG1, COMP3, COMP6, COMPDIS1, COMPUTA1, COMPUTA5, COMPUTA6, COMPUTA7, COMPUTA8,COMPUTA9, DELIV2, DENTIST, DESKTOP, DOCTOR, DOG2, DRILLER, DUDE, ELEPHANT, FLYPIG, FRIDAY, FROG, HARTPUFF, HPPYHOUR, IDEA. Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are ALF SATAN SPACESON WIND AFL FLUTES JET ORCHES90. Assorted colour Clip Art in GIF format. The clips are of a very high standard and are in 256 colour format. Please ensure that your DTP program can handle these before ordering Files are C-AN0005 C-AN0006 C-AN0010 C-AN0012 C-AN0015 C-AN0017 C-AN0037 C-AN0042 C-AN0045 C-AN0050 C- AN0051 C-AN0054 C-AN0059 C-AN0060 C-AN0070 C-AN0078 C-AN0090 C- AN0093 C-AN0099 C-AN0102 C-AN0103 C-AN0105 C-AN0120 C-AN0122 C- AN0134 C-AN0136 C-AN0140 C-AN0146 C-AN0159 C-AN0162 C-AN0174 C- AN0179 C-AN0181 C-AN0185 C-AN0190 C-AN0197 C-AN0213 C-AN0222 C- AN0223 C-AN0225 C-AN0232 C-AN0234 C-AN0235 C-AN0254 C-AN0255 C- AN0270 C-BD0002 C-BD0008 C-BD0012 C-BD0013 C-BD0023 C-BD0024 C- BD0027 C-BD0040 C-BD0041 C-BD0046. GOOD by Tidbit Software Engineering Inc - A rather extensive hard disk backup utility. As well as all the usual functions, it keeps track of where the data is stored on the backup disks. If one of the backup disks gets corrupted, it tells you which files you need recopies of! You can even back up one partition directly onto another. Rather than having docs on disk, this program has on-line help built-in, making it much more user friendly than the average program. HTU (Hiscore Terminal Utility) by Richard Karsmakers - Keep track of all your record-breaking high scores! A database which keeps track of the date, level achieved and highscore, plus much more. LOCK-UP by Frazer Clement - A file encoder/decoder. It lets you encode your files with a 7 character password and they cannot be decoded except by the same program, using the same password. The program also includes a printer spooler which runs as a background task. LPAK by Andrew D Webber - A Beta test version (i.e. use at your own risk!) of data file compressor/decompressor. It is intended for hard drive use but will run from floppy. Its function is as a hard drive doubler. Pack all the files on your disk, then put the decoder program into your Auto folder and the files will decompact automatically when loaded. Works on data files as well as executables. MONKEY - Another macro key ACC. You can define up to twenty keyboard commands from this ACC which may be loaded up as default. Different sets of macros may be defined as keyboard shortcuts for different programs and can be loaded up at any time to over-ride the default settings. SAFESAVER by Robert Fasolt - A screen saver which doesn't affect I/O to disks, modem, printer, etc. This is particularly helpful if you are transferring large files by modem or raytracing rather complicated pictures. TTARTIST by Massimo Farina - A GEM screen saver for the TT030 which can communicate with other programs via the cookie jar. MULTIDIALOG v1.03 by Helmut Neukirchen - Puts GEM dialog boxes into GEM windows. Although intended for MultiTOS, it will work with all TOS versions. The docs are in both German and English. CHEATS FROM MUG UK - To help you progress further with Caesar, Crime City, Ishar 2 and Legends of Valour. SHAREWARE FROM THE PIXEL TWINS . 3D_STOS - A Complete 3D extension package for STOS, not as good as the commercial one (they say), but then again a lot cheaper! TECBRUSH - What looks like a really good low res paint package. It reads and writes Neochrome, Degas and its own format files. Could do with some instructions though! CLIK STUFF - Handlers for special file formats eg; play NoiseTracker mod files, Cyberpaint seq files, 10KHz SPL or AVR files or display CAD-3D v2.0 object file. DISK UTILS - A disk formatter, copier and virus killer and a hard disk explorer and file copier. The Dragon's Lair Demo by The Bats Crew . An animated demo created from the laser disk game! Needs 1 Meg. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are KOK_____, KRAMER__, LATINWD, LEECAPS_, LIL_____, LINCOLNN, LINEDRAW, LINUSN, LOES____, LOGGER__, LOWS____, MARBOLO-, MATURASC, MCGF____, MEMORNDB, MEMORNDN, MOR_____. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are COLOFON3, COLOFON4, COUNTACH, COW, COW1, COWA, COWBOY, CRACKER, CROSS, CROWD, CUSTOM01, CUSTOM02, CUSTOM03, CUSTOM04, CUSTOM05, CUTFRAME, CUTTER, CYCLE1, CYCLE2, CYCLE3, CYCLE4, CYCLOPS, CYNIC, C_MASTR2, C_MASTRS, C_T_W. PUNISH YOUR MACHINE by Delta Force - Another truly amazing European Megademo. There are contributions from all the leading European demo crews. A total of fifteen demos are included in this two disk set and one en has several parts to it! Use the up and down arrow keys to select from the main menu and Space to load. A classic! HIDEAWAY V1.1.4 by Bruno Essman - Allows you to hide all open windows belonging to a selected application when running Multi-TOS. This is useful if you have multiple windows open for several applications as the windows can tend to clutter up the screen and it can get confusing as to which application the window belongs. This ACC simply allows you to hide and unhide all windows belonging to a chosen application. MAKE ST IMAGE v1.1 by Vezz - Allows you to create a .ST format disk image from any floppy disk for use with the Pacifist on F.6049 (PC) or Nostalgia on F.6160 (Mac) Atari emulators. Prior to the release of this program, you had to create a MSA archive then convert it to .ST format on the PC, now the whole process can be completed on the Atari. Although this is an Atari program but is of no use to you unless you are emulating an ST on a PC or Mac using one of the above emulators. POWER SAVER by Tommy Andersen - If you have a monitor which supports low energy power saving features, this CPX (for use with Xcontrol UTL.3879) automatically powers down your monitor after five minutes. Do not use this program on monitors which do not support power saving features, otherwise you may damage your monitor. SERIAL V1.00 by Peter Rottengatter - A replacement for MODEM.CPX which recognises the TT and Falcon's serial ports and supports baud rates higher than 19200 bps. SET DATE V4.00 by Dobashi Hiroshi - An excellent date/time setter. Each time it runs, it checks for DATE.DAT (a file it created earlier) and reads the time/date from it. You then use the arrows within the window to move the display to the current date/time. On a multi-tasking OS, the clock window can be left running as a visual on-screen clock. Mono only. ZIP 2.0 - An updated version of the ZIP compression program which is fully compatible with PK ZIP on the PC. Its main features over ST ZIP include the ability to split and rejoin archives (useful when a ZIP file will not fit onto a floppy disk) and repair damaged archives. There are numerous other enhancements. ZIP 2.0 consists of two TTP files which require precise parameters. Unless you need the extra features offered by this version, stick with ST ZIP on UTL.3093. Strategy Games. LARN - similar to Hack on GAM.17. NIGHT CRAWLERS, STAR TREK, OGRE - All strategy type. TWIXT - This is an odd one.GAM.16 KRABAT CHESS - A novel adaption of the German Chess game on GAM.56. YAHTZEE - The dice game. SUPER SENSORI - An adaption of the electronic game "Simon". TOWERS OF HANOI - Another classic. All colour except for Chess. MOD INFOS V2.0 by Type One of Tipon - A collection of useful information on the various variations of the Soundtracker MOD file format and various associated player programs available on the Atari PC Amiga and Archimedes. It covers the MOD 669 MTM MED S3M STM. There s also an extensive FAQ on audio file formats masses of info on the ProTracker format and its variants and some example sound files are also includes. Although there s only a small amount of source code on this disk there s plenty of technical specs on the structure of the various file types making this an ideal disk for anyone wanting to create a universal MOD player. Needs a hard drive. NEW RES V1.0 by Loudovic Rousseau - Assembler and C sources which will allow you to change resolution easily from within your own programs. Fully commented but partly in French. Includes preset register settings for several common resolutions. Compiles under Devpac into a fully functional PRG. IRT by Harun Scheutzow - Measures Interrupt Response Time. In other words it measures the time taken from the issuing of the interrupt command until the CPU responds. It s useful for comparing the time taken by the different available interrupts to perform the same task or for comparison between interrupts running under different operating systems different TOS versions MagiC Geneva Multi-TOS etc . Regrettably it s in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. GEMSIGHT V1.0 by FunShip - Runs under a multi-tasking OS and displays system messages in a GEM window. The level of detail output is under the user s control and can be changed at any time. It can display its own messages and events or those from other applications. Such information as window handle process number window dimensions action taken and so forth are all recorded for later analysis. An especially useful debugging aid. MISCELLANEOUS NOVELS - A collection of seven out of copyright novels. Texts on disk are NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS AN AMERICAN SLAVE by himself THE STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE by Robert Louis Stevenson WAR OF THE WORLDS by H G Wells AESOP S FABLES - over 200 of them ALADDIN AND THE WONDERFUL LAMP SIGN OF FOUR a Sherlock Holmes novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle STUDY IN SCARLET where Watson first meets up with Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. CBHD V5.02 by Claus Brod and Steffen Engel - A Freeware hard disk driver, complete with easy to use formatting, partitioning and user definable custom setup capabilities. It completely replaces AHDI, ICD Utilities or whatever other hard disk driver you happen to be using. So why change your hard disk driver? Well, CBHD is one of the most modern hard disk drivers for the Atari range of computers. It removes many of the restrictions found in other driver software and it helps ensure cross- platform compatibility and therefore portability of data. Features include:- supports up to 24 partitions, allows you to partition floppy disks!, fully supports the SCSI 2 standard, fully supports ALIA (which allows up to 32 SCSI devices to be connected instead of the normal 8!) and ICD host adaptors, boots from any chosen partition, not just C, boot from any SCSI device, not just SCSI ID 0 and performs transfers in the background under MagiC. CBHD is an XHDI compliant driver which essentially means that it can read and write to PC formatted SCSI devices provided the partition size does not exceed 32 Mb (if it does, use BIGDOS on UTL.5510). CBHD comes with an easy to use GEM based configuration program. It is well documentated in ST- Guide format, but entirely in German. This latest version supports both SCSI and IDE drives. PACSHELL V2.63 - Probably the best archiving shell around. It essentially provides you with a replacement Desktop, giving you access to all your drives. Create a new archive and drop the files to be archived into the empty window. Double-click an archive and it opens up into its own window, just like a real directory. Pacshell supports ARC, LZH, ZIP, ZOO, ARJ, COMPRESS and GTAR archivers although these are not supplied with the package. The program itself is GEM based and in English, but the docs and context sensitive on-line Help are in German. It is also Multi-TOS friendly. Would anyone like to translate? BELEF V2.3T - Yet another archiver shell. This one is described as universal in the sense that it should work with any TTP based archiver program, past or present. It works by allowing you to enter all the commands supported by the appropriate archiver(s) into a configuration screen and saves these settings for future use. It comes preconfigured for LZH and ARC archives but these can easily be changed to suit. You can also convert LZH archives to ARC and vice versa. Please note that the archivers themselves are not included. Colour only. COOKBOOK by ETC Software - A computerised recipe book from New Zealand. It is designed as an easy means of storage for all those newspaper and magazine recipes which get cut out and invariably lost over a period of time. Recipes are grouped under Entree, Main, Sweets, Specials, Cakes and Miscellaneous for ease of use. A number of recipes are included with the program. Printer support is included for Epson FX, Panasonic 1081 and Atari SMM804, although you can easily customise a driver for your own printer if you are willing to sort through the command codes in your printer manual. Full GFA v3 source code included. Colour only. EPSON STYLUS V2.05 by B Noonan - A 720 dpi Stylus Colour printer driver for use with PageStream. CD RECORDER V1.02 by Dirk Haun - Lets you record audio samples from audio CDs and save them directly to your hard drive in WAV or AVR format. The samples can be 8-bit or 16-bit stereo or mono and can be sampled at 22 khz or 44 khz. Needs a CD-ROM drive, appropriate driver software (MetaDOS or ExtenDOS) and a device driver which supports audio commands (such as FALCON.BOS). Multi-TOS compatible. Program and docs in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. START ME UP V0.01 - Allows you to start up ACCs after boot up if running Multi-TOS, Geneva or MagiC 4. Won't run on single TOS. REMARKER '96 V0.72E by Christoph Spengler - Allows you to add comments to ST-Guide (UTL.5557) hypertexts easily. The remarks are essentially ASCII files which appear in stylish pop- up windows from within the hypertext when you double-click their entry in the text. Just what you need to jazz up those on-line docs. Runs as a PRG or ACC and integrates well with ST-Guide (not included) when running as an ACC. Well documented (in ST-Guide format of course!). GENFIXER 1.3 by Anthony Jacques - Another attempt at a generic STOS fixer program. This one is more or less based on Robert Quezada's STOSFIX 3 but without the TOS 1.2 incompatibility bug! It allows you to fix any compiled STOS Basic file to run on up to ten operating systems of your choice. We suggest you fix for TOS versions 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, 2.06 and 4.01 (a generic patch that also works for 4.0, 4.02 and 4.04) as these ensure compatibility with about 99.9% of Atari machines ever sold! GEM FONTVIEW v1.09e by Reinhard Bartel - Displays any installed GDOS font in a GEM window. The font may be bitmapped or vector based (as in the case of SpeedoGDOS fonts) and can be displayed at any size up to 72 point (1 inch high) provided that the resident version of GDOS allows this. In the case of vector fonts, all characters (including those above ASCII 255) are displayed with GEM FontView, unlike other font display programs. Runs as an ACC or PRG but requires a version of GDOS, SpeedoGDOS or NVDI (3 or 4) to be installed. FREE SPACE by Vanel Rami - Quickly and easily displays the free space on each of the drives connected to your system as well as giving combined total of free space on the system. Runs as a PRG or ACC. Multi-TOS friendly. CALAMUS TABLE GENERATOR V1.2 by Michal Setlak - Create tables easily with this useful utility and export them in CVG format ready for import into Calamus. Docs in English and Polish. Program in French or Polish! Icon based, so very easy to understand. ACE GAMER - A menu system designed for loading games from hard drive. Lots of games 'object' to your usual boot up programs and ACCs being present when you try to load them from hard drive, especially since games like to grab all free memory for themselves. This small Auto folder program pops up (only when specifically activated) with a menu of the games available on your hard drive and a simple key press locates the appropriate game, switches to low res and loads it up as if it had been run from an Auto folder (i.e. without initialising GEM). DUPFILE by Analysts United - Searches your hard drive and creates a list of files which are identical in name and size, so that you can identify and delete duplicates, saving yourself some valuable space. Perfectly safe as it doesn't delete anything, you do! PSYGHAM V1.5 UPGRADE PATCH by Analysts United - There's a bug in v1.5 of this utility in that the driver program has a different configuration file from that defined in the configuration program. This patches the driver to remove the bug. FILE EDIT by Analysts United - A patched version of the program on UTL.5422 which now runs in medium res and can be executed as a TTP, APP or PRG. BALLZONE - Another excellent variation of the Arkanoid theme. Good gameplay and digitised music. MONEYSPINNER by Jim Holmwood - A fruit machine game with a difference. You get lives as well as credits! Slip on a banana skin or get bitten by a parrot and you lose a life. You can even build up your lives! Sound wierd? The best game of it's kind on the ST. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. Slaytanic Cult Demo 3 - A couple of graphic screens followed by a choice of two Quartet tunes to listen to. Slaytanic Cult Demo 4 - Another great demo comprising of 6 excellent Quartet tunes with a couple of Turtles on the loading screen. - An impressive program with a number of extras . Signum fonts can be used in your pictures and printout can be to any 9-pin or 24- pin printer. Extensive block manipulation is possible with the various tools included as well as the ability to outline. Kritzel is easy to use via keyboard or mouse and loads both Degas PI3 files as well as 32k dumps. Files are saved as 32k dumps. MIKRODRAW - An interesting package which is let down only by the lack of instructions. Loads and saves 32k dumps. Appears to have some object oriented features. Worth a look. SIGIPAINT - A comprehensive program which loads and saves the files from most PD/Shareware art packages. The tools provided are well desgned and easy to use. Well documented. GFAFRACTAL - GFA Basic source only. This program allows manual control over parameter setting, a zoom function, both Julia and Mandelbrot curves, an autosave option and so on. MOUNTAINS - Creates pictures of mountains using fractal graphics. The resulting pictures can be saved as Degas pictures. QRT - A ray tracing program originally available only on the Amiga. This version is 100% compatible with the Amiga version. It saves files in its own format. These can be converted to Spectrum 512 format with a program on disk. This program is very complicated with the manual running into over 100k, but the results are really impressive. SPIRO - Creates Spirograph type pictures allowing you to set up the angle, pen colour and radii. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3. Fonts are FLORAOB1 FLORAOBL FLORA_B1 FLORA_B2 FLORA_BO FLORA_B_ FLORA_NO FLORBON FLORBON- FLORENC1 FLORENCE FLORENCN FLORENC_ FLORLB FLORLEFT FLORLN FLRENC FLUNDER FLYER_BL FLYER_EX FLYRLEFT FNFULF_T FOREST FORMA2. ASTEROIDIA by Dave Munsie - The king of the arcade classics is back again with another Shareware masterpiece. This latest offerings is a clone of the old asteroids game, but brought right up to date in the graphics and sonics departments. It sticks fairly closely to the original gameplay but with alien crafts shooting at you, spacemen to rescue and alien creatures to dodge. The rock sprites are huge solid 3D objects rotating in real time and the gameplay is fast and furious. There are lots of user definable options too. If you have an STE, you get the advantages of DMA sound throughout and smoother scrolling. Undoubtedly the very best Asteroids clone ever written. Needs 1 Meg. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program. Files are DELTA, HOTSUMMR, ORPHEUS, SJOURNEY, TARSNARE, TIED_UP. UFO FILES #2 - Similar to the above documents. This disk contains three larger documents. The first concentrates on humans being abducted by aliens for the purpose of conducting medical experiments. It starts off with a psychiatric evaluation of the phenomena and suggested treatment, by a New York psychiatrist. There's also newspaper reports on the subject and other related texts including various UFO sighting reports. The second document is a newsletter by a group calling themselves Cosmic Awareness (a religious sect founded in the 1960's) and forms their analysis of the whole UFO phenomenon as seen through their trances. The final document comprises of lots of individual files many of which were originally classified top secret by the US Government on the basis of being a threat to national security. The most significant of these even suggests a deal having being made between the US Government and the aliens! Others are statements by US Airforce pilots and other servicemen. All rather bizarre stuff, judge for yourself. Displayer program included on disk. ST NEWS Issue 7.3 - Here's another issue of the longest running, most respected disk magazine on the ATARI ST. As usual, it is feature packed and has an amazing balance of articles for everybody. The content is becoming slightly more adult, but this doesn't discredit it at all. It includes adventure solutions to Gnome Ranger, Horror Zombies, Leisure Suit Larry 5, Zork III and Beureaucracy. It has articles on the Falcon, Stefan's journey to the States, how to play Strip Monopoly (amongst other games!), a very amusing Pervert's monthly, a comprehensive history of the ST demo scene, and more. Reviews include Le Redacteur 3, the new Selectric Item selector, Formula One Grand Prix, Family Roots, Around The World and the Carl Lewis Challenge. Educationally, there is an up to date picture format article, an article by the Author of the Sircware Virus Protector (on the disk) and the usual GFA tips. All the other regular articles are there too, as are the quotes that the editors and 'God Bless atheism'! Lot's of brand new PD fills the disk. ASTEROID - A new version of the classic arcade game. Very well presented. BLACKJACK - A computer version of the popular card game. DEMOLITION MAN - Bombs are hidden within a grid, use the mouse to point at a square and reveal what is underneath. The object of the game is to reveal all the squares without setting off a bomb. ENTOMBED - A platform game with plenty of objects to collect and traps to avoid. Find the exit on each level to progress to the next. This is made even more difficult as the layout of the level changes from time to time. GRAMPA - A text adventure where you must journey back in time 100 years to help Grampa Howard find and defeat Dr Malvert. However, what seems to be obvious is not always so. HOTSHOT - Play checkers against the computer. Fully mouse controlled. Select from a variety of difficulty levels. A board editor is also included. KLATRIX - A Tetris type game. Tiles fall down the screen, use the joystick to move them left, right or cycle through the colours. Three tiles of the same colour in a row causes the row to vanish. Stop the tiles from reaching the top of the screen. SNAKES - A snakes and ladders game, suitable for children. Use the mouse to roll the dice and make your way up the board. Normal snakes and ladders rules apply. SOLITAIRE - A computer version of the well known game. Use the mouse to control the movement of the pegs. Very well presented. CUD LEE'S QUEST by Robert Dytmire - A platform game for children aged between 10 and 13. Explore treasure rooms, pick up keys and collect bonuses in each of the four worlds, in order to complete the game. In tutor mode, the game asks a question each time you try to open a door. Get the question correct and the door will open, making this a useful educational tool. Your own questions can be added to the game. TRACKBALL by Ross McNaughton - This is a puzzle game, the object of which is to guide coloured balls along a track to the appropriately coloured target. Change the junctions to ensure the correct outcome. Simple yet addictive gameplay. TDROID from Below Zero Software - You control a heavily armed droid and must destroy waves of alien fighters whose sole objective is the destruction of the earth. Extra weapons and power-ups can be collected and used, including nuclear bombs which destroy everything on the screen! BAB by Andy Morgan - A simple quiz program featuring Beavis and Butthead, the well known characters from the cult Channel 4 TV series. Obviously one for fans of the show as many of the questions relate to the characters themselves. The program itself is easy to operate, just use the mouse to click on your chosen answer, but be careful, wrong answers put you right back at the beginning again. The aim of the game being to get as many consecutive correct answers as possible. Good use is made of sampled sound and the voices of the main characters are used to great effect within the program. Needs 1 Meg. DOMINIZ by Andy Morgan - A demo version of a much larger domino game, but with some of the options disabled. The aim of the game is to uncover pairs of dominoes that match using the mouse to click on your chosen dominoes. Contains good sound and graphics. This demo resets the computer after one game. The full version of the program is available from the author. THE STORY OF THE TITANIC by C Atkin - A well presented 'documentary' on the Titanic. It covers the period from the placing of the construction order in 1907 to the launching of the vessel and the subsequent disaster on its maiden voyage in April 1912 in which over 1500 lives were lost. This program gives lots of background on the ship, the Captain and much more. It also contains over 50 digitised photographs of the ship, the passengers, the iceberg and many historical documents associated with the disaster. Well worth adding to your collection. LITTLE 15 V2.00 by Dirk Hagedorn - A sliding puzzle game. You must unjumble the numbers in order to make them run continuously from 1 to 15. Good fun with several levels of difficulty. All in German but everyone knows how to play a sliding puzzle game, don't they? Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS friendly. MOVE IT V1.5 by Dirk Hagedorn - Puzzle game in which you push all the blocks in one level to the marked area in order to progress to the next level. Not as easy as it sounds, especially as you normally end up boxing yourself into a corner! Program in English and German, docs in German. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS friendly. TRICKY V2.71 by Dirk Hagedorn - The dice game Yahtzee. Very well presented and easy to use with nothing more than a few mouse clicks needed for any action. Unfortunately it's all in German but you'll have no problems if you understand Yahtzee. One of the better adaptations of this game. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS friendly. AMATEUR RADIO 1 by GM4DXZ - A collection of original programs designed to get the amateur radio enthusiast on-line with his ST. Full user manual on disk. Highly recommended. STAR VOYAGE V1.1 by Croft Soft Software - This is a Star Trek inspired game (though the names have been changed to protect the innocent!). The Rumolans and Klongins have formed an alliance against the Federation. Their ships outnumber the Federation's and conflict is inevitable. This is a two player, two joystick game. One player takes on the role of the Federation, the other the Alliance. Although the scenery changes from one engagement to the next, the aim is the same, to destroy your opponent before he does likewise. You take turns of being the defending and attacking ship, but you can both fire simultaneously. It usually takes more hits to destroy the defending ship than the attacker, hence the continual swapping of roles. Stereo samples throughout. Not exactly a fast action game but can be quite challenging dependent on who you are playing against. One of very few games which supports the use of two joysticks. Needs 1 Mb, STE ONLY. ST HIGHWAY #7 JULY 1997 - Another new interface but the excellent doc displayer has been retained. There's interviews with Dave Hollis (ST+) and Jake Nicholls (former editor STH) and a very lively letters section as well as adventure solutions to Kings Quest 2, Leisure Suit Larry 2 and Space Quest. Features include the history of GEM, a look back at ST Format, registering software, the TUS IDE interface, a nostalgic look at Blue Peter, Commodore, the Eagle comic and more, a roundup of the 1996/97 football season and a collection of strange (but true?) stories. Also included are the usual adverts, competitions, music and film reviews, part 5 of Your Second Manual, more excellent "twist in the tale" stories and some great fiction pieces and lots more... There is mention of a second disk containg the demo of Destruction Imminent. If you want it, it's on GAM.5983C. LOBOTOMY INVADERS - An excellent Shareware game for the STE by The Slaytanic Cult. A re-vamp of the age old theme but this version pushes the STE to its limits using stereo DMA sound, the extended colour palette and most impressively, hardware scrolling. Just to add to the challenge, you have to beat two waves of alien attack before progressing to the next level. To my knowledge, this is the first STE specific game to be written. Highly recommended. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. GHOSTSCRIPT FONTS - For use with Ghostscript on LAN.73 & LAN.76. Fonts are CHARTER BOLD, CHARTER BOLD ITALIC, CHARTER ROMAN, CHARTER ROMAN ITALIC, HERSHEY GOTHIC ENGLISH, HERSHEY GOTHIC ENGLISH BOLD, HERSHEY GOTHIC ENGLISH OBLIQUE, HERSHEY GOTHIC GERMAN BOLD, HERSHEY GOTHIC GERMAN OBLIQUE, HERSHEY PLAIN BOLD, HERSHEY PLAIN OBLIQUE, HERSHEY PLAIN SIMPLEX, HERSHEY PLAIN SIMPLEX BOLD, HERSHEY PLAIN SIMPLEX BOLD OBLIQUE, HERSHEY PLAIN TRIPLEX, HERSHEY PLAIN TRIPLEX BOLD, HERSHEY PLAIN TRIPLEX BOLD ITALIC, HERSHEY SCRIPT COMPLEX, HERSHEY SCRIPT COMPLEX BOLD, HERSHEY SCRIPT COMPLEX X OBLIQUE, HERSHEY SCRIPT SIMPLEX, HERSHEY SCRIPT SIMPLEX BOLD, HERSHEY SCRIPT SIMPLEX OBLIQUE. THE MILITARY AVIATION COLLECTION by The Golden Otter - A collection of over 80 scanned line drawings of the world's most prestigious military aircrafts. A scoop for everyone who has an interest in aviation. All files are in IMG format and are intended for use within a Desktop Publishing program. A Floppyshop exclusive. What the Butler Saw by TCC . A short animated film of a maid undressing. TRIP-A-TRON by Jeff Minter - The legendary light synthesiser is now available as Shareware. It is the successor to Colourspace on ART.67C The built in programming language is an 8 channel parallel language which allows you to control all aspects of the light synth, configure the keyboard, control remote machines and even generate complete graphic animations. Trip-A-Tron is designed to be used in conjunction with your favourite piece of music. You listen to the music and watch the monitor. The amount of special effects available from within the program is simply incredible. This is where registration comes in. Try as you will, you simply can't get the best out of Trip-A-Tron without paying your tenner for the 200 page manual. Although the program is useable on any Atari 16-bit or 32-bit computer, you will not be able to load in the examples on disk if you have an STE, TT or Falcon, until you register. Although it is technically possible to run Trip-A-Tron on a 520, at least 1 Meg of memory is recommended to make full use of the program. THE EDGE OF PANIC by ACCS - Kicks off with the credits, then moves onto the main demo. You get 3D wireframe graphics, tunnels made up of small dots and large globes which change shape, all displayed fullscreen. One of the best effects centres around an orange 'blob' which throws out small white dots which join up to form a shape. A heavy metal soundtrack accompanies the demo in glorious stereo. When the effects and soundtrack finish, the second part of the demo is loaded. A much more relaxed soundtrack plays here, as the greetings are displayed. PATIENCE - A computer version of the card game where you have to make up piles of cards in descending order by placing black and red cards (B&W in this version!) alternately in each pile. The mouse is used to click and drag cards to various destinations around the playing area. Mono only. SHANGHAI - The Chinese tile game of Mah-Jongg. The idea of the game is to remove pairs of matching pieces from a 3D pile of tiles. It's not as easy as it sounds! For those familiar with the game this one will present a new challenge. However, the use of lots of help screens means that with patience and practice, new users will become more adept too. WINGLORD - You take on the role of a knight mounted upon a flying unicorn and must defeat your opponents in a joust. However, not only can your unicorn run, he can also fly and shoot missiles as can a number of your opponents. Your enemies come in waves and also in a variety of forms, each with different attributes. A one or two player game. JUST ANOTHER SPORTS SIMULATION (JASS) - This program allows you to compete in eight different, and sometimes unusual, sporting events, gaining points as you go, hopefully reaching medal winning standard before the closing ceremony. The games range from athletic events such as the long jump and 110m hurdles, to shooting and boxing, and end with the popular apple hunt game. Most of the games are controlled using the joystick and many contain a good deal of humour. Do you have what it takes to be an Olympic champion? Needs 1 Mb. KELAUG #7 - A slight change of editorial team sees Bob Kell replace Dave Till in this latest issue. Reviews are of the Floppyshop catalogue, ST Plus #24, the Paris Atari Show and Spice World! The programming section looks at the Misy Extension and features a bubble-sort routine in STOS and the assembler source to this issue's intro. Beginners' section looks at using the Auto folder and moving files around. A new Playstation section kicks off in this issue, featuring a list of top selling titles, some games cheats, and a review of Tomb Raider 1 & 2.Other articles include pieces on getting onto the Internet, more strange but true stories, a collection of Lancashire sayings (and their meanings) and lots of other bits and bobs. There are of course all the regular items like editorial, letters, for sale/wanted and so forth. I particularly enjoyed the Best of STEN section which featured a selection of articles from the long dead diskmag of the same name. Same warning goes for the swearing and adult humour. It's not that bad, but avoid if you're likely to be offended. FALCON OWNERS GROUP UPDATE 9 - This latest release from FOG features a game and a demo both of which are accessible from within the magazine shell as well as about 1700K of text collected from various sources on the Internet. There s product announcements on Imagecopy 4 Positive Image Atari CD Master Oasis Internet Software Ping 2000 POV Raytracer v3.0 Stello 2.1 OMEn ZIP drives uses 100Mb removable cartridges and DuFTP GEM based FTP program for Net use .

The programming section is overflowing in this issue with intros to 68000 DSP56001 coding info on the ST/TT/Falcon hardware registers GDOS reference manual and info on the AES BIOS and XBIOS calls. If that s not enough there s articles on the JPEG and FLI/FLC file formats details of Compuserve s new Portable Network Graphic PNG format a question and answer session on GIF licensing and useful information on using a CD ROM with an Atari computer. Besides this there s a full listing of all Falcon based bulletin boards and lots of info on the various protocols used on the Internet. All in all a VERY informative issue. Unfortunately it needs a hard drive. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 26 - Two excellent 256 colour animations from the PC. Player program supplied. HOLMES - This serves as a promotion for a company called Holmes Design Ltd. It starts off with a picture of a large house. This then morphs into the landscape it was created from to show the mountain river and valley which existed before it was built.

MORPHER V1.0 by Application Systems Heidelberg - An excellent GEM based program for creating 'morphs'. Two pictures are loaded up, you then proceed to load up the control lines and start the morphing process. The end result is a third picture which is a cross between the first two. The demo has a number of restrictions imposed upon it including the inability to create animations. Morpher is dreadfully slow but the results are really impressive and you can alter the parameters to obtain different results. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. Requires a minimum resolution of 640x400 so it only runs in high res or in colour if using a large screen emulator such as BIG SCREEN or MonSTEr. Alternatively you can use Morpher with a graphic card in up to 256 colours. CONCORDANCE V1.0 by Spiritware - A GEM based Bible study tool which allows the user fast access to words and phrases contained within the scriptures.

All these slots are packed with latest news in the Atari world, NOT to be missed. TV TOONZ - A mono program which will work with an emulator. Essentially, this is a musical quiz program where a selection of 15 random tunes is played, the year is given and the user is required to select the source of the tunes e.g. Petticoat Junction, the Addams family, Gilligan's Island etc. The short tunes are of superb quality and the songs are equally good. Fine sound, good fun, well designed. Needs 1 Meg. NO!DESK V3.04 by no!Software - An innovative Shareware replacement Desktop from one of Germany's leading Atari developers. No!Desk goes further than most products of this type (eg; icons on the Desktop, jazzed up interface, file aliases etc) with everything being fully customisable to your own preference. It can even be used in conjunction with MagiC, Multi-TOS or Geneva to provide a fully multi-tasking compatible interface for those systems. No!Desk can be operate (if required) as a multi-user system and includes built-in multi-user management and password protection for use with such systems. It makes use of a modern 3D interface and shared libraries to reduce memory overhead when running programs which are no!System (included with the package) aware. Unlike other replacement Desktops, No!Desk is object orientated and you yourself can define the rules as to what action is performed when any two objects interact. Better still, why not have a pop-up menu to give you a choice of different actions? There's even a CLI window so that you can use No!Desk's built-in programming language directly from within the system. Also of note is the fact that No!Desk has its own archiver drivers (view or extract contents of LZH and ZOO archives by double-clicking them), graphic drivers (view IMG, IFF, CRG, PBM, PI1, TPI and other formats by double-clicking them) and scripting language (so that you can automate routine tasks). A very highly polished Shareware product. Now in English. Needs 1 Mb and a hard drive. XLATOR V2.04 by Gair Shields - An excellent foreign language translation program which contains over 27,000 German to English translations. If it doesn't know a word, you can even ask it to 'guess' its meaning.

A number of other utilities are included for updating and maintaining your dictionary files.

ICTARI #7 SEPTEMBER 1993 - This issue has a lively editorial as well as the usual sources in Assembler, C, GFA and STOS. The Assembler section progresses with chapters 7 and 8 or Arp Book and has routines to hide and show the mouse pointer, use sprires saved by NeoChrome Master and play TCB Tracker modules. There's an Ictari membership program in STOS and more of Tim Orens' series on C programming for GEM. The Professor's last GFA column features an exploding pixels demo and top border removal source. Finally, there's a program which prints out text in several GDOS fonts, a comprehensive document explaining how bitplanes work and an updated version of last month's handwriting recognition program. DARKLORD V3.10 by Steve Pedler - A modular screen saver program, similar to "After Dark" on the PC or Macintosh. More flexible than most other screen savers, in that it draws directly to the screen using the VDI. Many modules are included and there's a Construction Kit and source code (in C) to build your own. Will run on any ST/STE/Falcon and should be OK on a TT. Compatible with large screen monitors, MultiTOS and Geneva. DESKFX - A 3 in 1 program to give a Desktop background picture, an animated mouse pointer and new screen fonts. FILECAT V1.4 by Randy Hoekstra - Helps you keep track of changes to the contents of floppy disks and hard disk partitions. Contents lists can be created and printed and "delta" lists of any new, changed or deleted items can be maintained. Incremental backups can also be made of any new or changed items. A "must have" for anyone with a hard disk. BOOT60Hz v1.0 by Marten Lindstrom - Changes the low/med res screen from 50Hz to 60Hz display. Also includes MEGA60HZ for the Mega STE. Runs from Auto folder or the Desktop. It can also install a bootsector on floppy disks which performs the switch at boot up. WARNING - DO NOT INSTALL THIS BOOTSECTOR ONTO AUTOBOOTING GAME DISKS! May not work on some older TV models, but should be OK on any colour monitor. TANDEM V1.0 by Marten Lindstrom - If you have two floppy drives, this utility will combine thhem into one "virtual" drive. Useful for games and programs which don't recognise or use a second drive. Designed for the game "Spirit of Excalibur", but should work with any game or program using standard file and disk formats, i.e. not reading/writing directly to the disk using BIOS or XBIOS calls. May have problems if files/folders have the same name on both disks. MULTI SHEN V1.0 by STectre - An accessory which records anything sent to the printer/RS-232/MIDI/console/keyboard and sends it to another device of your choice. Can also make multiple copies, e.g. to the printer. MNILU v2.0 by STectre - A Shareware compiler for GFA Basic v2 programs. Can't create accessories or Auto-running programs. Some limitations on normal compiler functions, and can't produce fast or small final programs. Some programs may run out of memory on machines with less than 1 Meg of memory. TOMS by T A King - The Observer Menu System is a shell for The Observer document viewer. Sets up your own menus to load frequently used text files. The Observer is not included. GREPIT V2.01 by Hermann Wierl - A GEM based Shareware implementation of the Unix utility Grep. Its purpose is to search for matching patterns or ASCII strings within files. The program is very extensive and includes its own built-in on-line help. On of its main selling points is its ability to search through files which are larger than available memory. GHOSTLINK V1.02z - Allows you to connect up a PC (in fact up to three PCs) to your Atari and address it as a slave device. In simple terms, this allows you to access any data on the PC's storage devices (floppy drives, hard drives, CD-ROM, Syquests etc) and read the data directly into the Atari as if that drive were connected to it. A possible use might be to load a picture from a CD-ROM drive on the PC directly into GEM-View for conversion and then save it out onto your Atari hard drive. The possibilities are limitless! You will require a null modem cable to connect the two machines together. The PC software required is also included. THE BOURNEMOUTH CFN COLLECTION DISK 5 - Contains the following Sans Serif fonts:- HELVETICA (Normal, Normal Condensed, Normal Italic, Normal Italic Condensed, Bold, Bold Condensed, Bold Italic, Light, Light Italic, Light Condensed, Light Italic Condensed, Black Normal, Black Italic, Black Condensed, Black Condensed Italic, Compressed, Extra Compressed, Ultra Compressed). A COLLECTION OF ARCADE TYPE GAMES FROM THE ST. ATAX - Battle through a variety of terrains avoiding enemy ships and the hostile landscape in this vertically scrolling shoot em up. Features colourful graphics and great sound effects. BELLUM2 - A Galaxians type clone. BLOCKADE - A grid runner type clone where you have to corner an object moving about the screen. BLASTER - An up to date re-write of Defender from the arcades and the 8 bit machines . An excellent shoot em up with much improved sound and graphics. FIRESTORM - Guide your spacecraft through a hail of fireballs. FRED THE FLEA - An amusing game in which Fred tries to escape from the deepest caverns by hopping and jumping from ledge to ledge. NOVA 103 - Blast everything in sight in this vetical shoot em up arcade game. OZONE - An excellent Shareware game by Nick Harper. This is a combined platform and puzzle game where the object is to get to the top of the tower within the time limit. A very professional looking game which plays well and is highly recommended. TRIFIDE by Pressimage France - A Galaxians clone. One of the best shoot em ups around IMG MIXER v1.10 by Matthias Wallmann - A companion program for the Gemini and Ease replacement Desktops. It allows you to use a randomly selected IMG as a Desktop backdrop for these systems. With IMG Mixer in the Auto folder and the correct paths set, an image appropriate to the current resolution is selected randomly and displayed behind your Desktop icons. Lots of images are supplied on disk but regrettably they are all for use on monochrome systems. Any colour IMGs can be used in their place. Please note that you MUST have either Ease or Gemini installed in your system, otherwise IMG Mixer will do nothing. Docs in German but we've done a RUF translation. The Decade Demo by Inner Circle - Features 14 sub demos. Move using the arrow keys. Each door is the entrance to a different demo. Enter/Exit sub demos using Space. Some bad language in this demo. ICTARI #1 MARCH 1993 - This first issue of the Atari programmers' diskmag spends much of its time outlining plans for future issues and (like all subsequent issues) comes as plain text files so you'll need a doc displayer, text editor or word processor in order to read it. In the unlikely event you have none of the above, we recommend Everest on WRD.3891. Programs on the disk include an accounts program, a database, a virus killer and the source code and executables to lots of other programs. Most sources are in C and assembler in this issue. There's Assembler source to a program packer, a Mandelbrot generator, a caps lock disable program and a virus killer. C sources are for an auto time program, a soft formatting program, a binary to assembler converter, an early virus killer and a system diagnostics program. Articles include an article on the ST's operating system, a review of the newly released Falcon and the full specifications of the Falcon. STOS STARTER PACK 1 by Ralph Effemey - A Shareware disk which contains 3 skeleton STOS Basic games for you to extend, modify or complete. This disk includes ARMOURGEDDON, 45 CALIBRE and PONTOON. All games are incomplete and intended as a study guide to STOS programmers. Obviously you need STOS Basic in order to use this disk. Highly recommended. TCB Tracker modules disk 37 by Brian Ross .

Create and save patches for later use. Some limited MIDI control. SC7 CONTROL by David Tomes - Controls some parameters of the Roland SC7 sound module that can only be accessed by MIDI. The writer would like to hear from you if you own this module which was aimed at the PC/Mac market. ADVANCED RTT GENERATOR by Sorceror Sound Productions - A fun program which generates random music based upon the Delay Note and Tempo values input by the user. It then plays your composition over 4 MIDI channels. A 16 channel version is available from the author at low cost. Two versions on disk although we can t see much difference between them. JACKPOT - A puzzle game for a number of players involving the solving of riddles. NAARJEK v5 - Hack into Uncle Carl's security computer to access the hidden programs.

PD/Shareware fonts have a serial number of 0. This program displays the serial number of every Calamus font in a given directory. It does not attempt to change any serial numbers, it merely displays them. CAR_REG V1.4 by Mark Baines - A useful CPX for use with Xcontrol (on UTL.3879) which identifies a car's year of manufacture and place of registration from its registration number. You can also enter a town/city name and get a list of valid registration numbers for that area. Although set up for UK registrations, you can alter the data file for any country. CLIPBOARD + by Kellis - An ACC which lets you view the contents of the GEM Clipboard, rename SCRAP.TXT (to avoid it being overwritten when you next copy a block) or export it to the CAB WWW browser. English and French versions included. FASTLZH V2.0 by Gary Burke - Allows you to create, extract or view the contents of LZH archives. Runs as a PRG or ACC, TTP version also supplied. Does not require the LZH archiver, it's built-in. POSTCODE V1.2 by Mark Baines - Another CPX for use with Xcontrol. It allows you identify which town any specified postcode belongs to or obtain the postcode by entering a place name. Although set up for UK postcodes, the data file can be edited to suit any country.

This version allows larger RSCs to be created, is multi-tasking friendly, support for colour icons, and features many bug fixes over the original. MATHS MADE EASY and SPELLING MADE EASY - Two educational programs aimed at young children. Computerised speech is used throughout both programs. Maths Made Easy features addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. Spelling Made Easy is in the form of two programs. The first program is used by the parent to input the words on which the child is to be tested. The second program asks you to load a data file. The words are chosen at random from the data file and questions continue until you type quit. ATARI EXPLORER ONLINE ISSUES 212, 213, 214, 215 and the JAGUAR SPECIAL EDITION - This is a disk that is almost entirely filled with Atari related information. It contains 4 complete issues and a special Jaguar edition of the popular on-line magazine. Highlights in these issues include details of Trace Technologies' new package Data Rescue, news of the new Atari Developer CD ROM disk, details of Edhak 3, information on a new version of Calamus SL and some facts about two new cartridge port devices. These issues also contain more of the excellent 'on-line conferences' which have been reproduced for all to read. There's one with Gribnif in which they discuss their new Geneva and Neodesk 4 packages, a specially produced conference devoted to the new Jaguar and the August 1993 conference with Bob Brodie. There's also an Atari Safari '93 show report, an article on how to get the best from MultiTOS, an article about monitor compatibility with Atari's, Lynx game tips, Falcon compatibility and MUCH more! ILLUSION - Another good Arkanoid clone. This one even includes its own construction kit. Create your own levels. Colour only.

Mono only. MANAGER F1 - Manage a Formula 1 racing team for a season. Another German game. Mono only. DA'S LAYOUT TC V6.0 - A usable demo of Digital Arts' answer to Calamus SL. This demo version seems to offer much of the functionality of Calamus but with a few notable extras such as PPD output for printing to PostScript devices, colour selection via drag & drop, page/image previews (from the file selector and much more. It imports graphics in TIFF, TGA, GIF, CVG, GEM and EPS formats and supports output to 24-pin, bubblejet, laser, Deskjet and Postscript devices. Several fax drivers are also included. Pages can be output as TIFF, CVG, EPS or in Didot's own vector format as an alternative to printing. The program is very fast in operation. This demo version seems to be restricted only in the fact that you are restricted to 30 minutes' use and cannot save your work. When you start up it will be in German, select from Sprache the Optionen menu to choose the required language. English, French and Italian are supported in addition to German. Needs 4 Mb and a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res or graphic card only on an ST. Clip Art in IMG format.

KARA4TOS by Peter Bogner - A Midi based Karaoke system for your Falcon It takes a MIDI Karaoke file compatible with those used by the PC program Soft Karaoke and outputs it to your Midi equipment while displaying the words to the song on screen. Unfortunately there are no Midi Karaoke files supplied. GENERAL MIDI MULTI-SET EDITOR FOR THE KORG 03R/W by Peter Bogner - Due to the fact that the Korg 03R/W only supports one multi-set all data is normally lost when you switch off. This program allows you to create or change multi-sets and save them to disk for transmitting to the Korg at any time. You can choose the sound group sound name GM mode the volume and parameter setting for each channel. It is also possible to swap between the GM bank and the 03R/W s soundbank. Runs as a PRG or ACC.

Up to 20 MODs can be loaded at once and TMP is fully multi-tasking friendly. Runs as a PRG or ACC. From the author of Octalyser. PLAY WAVE V1.0 by Mark Himsley - Simply drop a WAV sound sample onto this program to play it or install it as an application so that WAVs can be double-clicked from the Desktop. The file replays using the closest supported by the Falcon DMA sound frequency to that at which it was saved. SMF PLAYER v1.1 by Peter Bogner - A nice GEM based program which simply outputs any standard Midi file format 0 or 1 to your synth. In addition you apply a few different effects to your data and the Midi clock function allows you to synchronise your synth with the play function. THE PIANO PLAYER by Peter Bogner - Yet another standard Midi file player. What makes this one so different is that the keys on a piano keyboard on screen are highlighted appropriately as each note is played hence the name of the program. Easy to use but with instructions built into program. MEGAPLAYER V1.16 - Yes another MOD file player which uses the DSP This one was originally designed to play the custom MODs created by MegaTracker FALC.4867 hence its name. It has now evolved into a universal player of Soundtracker type MODs from the Atari Amiga and PC. It currently handles SoundTracker ProTracker NoiseTracker StarTrekker Amiga Octalyser ST- Falcon FastTracker I II PC Composer 669 PC Oktalyzer Amiga MultiTracker PC ScreamTracker 3.0 to 3.2 PC UltraTracker 1.4 to 1.6 GUS on PC and Digital Tracker Falcon .

REALTIME REBELS VS LASERTHONS by Daniel Fielding - A realtime two player version of the original Rebels vs Laserthons (on GAM.5599). The game is almost identical to its predecessor (complete with specific missions for each level) with the exception that rather than being turns based, both players compete at the same time, one on keyboard, the other on joystick. It gives an almost arcade feel to this popular strategy game. Comes with a number of pre-designed levels and a built-in editor to create your own. Can import levels from the original game. STFM compatible, STE enhanced. Needs 1 Mb. The Synth Dream Demo by TAV . A collection of six top quality synthesised tunes. CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT (WW2 FOOD & GARDENS).

SPACE BALLER by Thomas Engel - A platform type game where you get an overhead view of a bouncing ball which you guide from platform to platform missing various items and collecting others whilst avoiding the black holes. POV RAY TRACE FALCON VERSION - David K Buck author of DKB Ray Trace on ST disk ART.3411C has teamed up with a team of programmers in an attempt to develop DKB Ray Trace into the most comprehensive ray tracing program ever written. The result is POV Ray Trace and it is really astounding to say the least. POV has been ported to the Falcon and there are two versions on disk one for the bare bones machine and the other for use if you have a 68882 maths coprocessor fitted. Although these versions are much faster than their ST and PC equivalents do prepare yourself for a long wait when tracing a complex true colour screen. POV is best run from a command line due to the complex nature of the parameters. It is extensively documented on disk and must be installed onto 3 HD disks or a hard drive before use ICTARI #5 - It's good to see a regular diskzine for programmers and issue 5 of ICTARI is so crammed with information that the disk format had to be extended! The Assembler continues the Arp Book series, has another borders removal routine, an updated doc displayer, a routine which displays a picture on reset, a starburst routine, a rasters routine and an updated TOS detection routine. There's a C routine which shows how to link Lattice C to 68k MC, an article on the structure of a floppy disk and another on the use of the Pexec command. The supplied STOS routines overcome the 15 sprite limit and show off some special effects including border removal. GFA routines include infinite sprites, a mini-demo, a screen melt routine, a scroller and an address book. There's other pieces on the structure of an executable file and the continuation of Tim Orens' Professional GEM series. Another worthy issue. SPLITTER V2.0 - Allows large files to be split up into several pieces and rejoined at a later date. Ideal for backing up large files from hard disk to floppy or simply for redistributing files which are too large to fit on a floppy. Runs from an Easy to use GEM based shell. PC version also included for cross machine transfer. GREPIT V2.01 by Hermann Wierl - A GEM based Shareware implementation of the Unix utility Grep. Its purpose is to search for matching patterns or ASCII strings within files. The program is very extensive and includes its own built-in on-line help. On of its main selling points is its ability to search through files which are larger than available memory. GHOSTLINK V1.02 - Allows you to connect up a PC in fact up to three PCs to your Atari and address it as a slave device. In simple terms this allows you to access any data on the PC s storage devices floppy drives hard drives CD-ROM Syquests etc and read the data directly into the Atari as if that drive were connected to it. A possible use might be to load a picture from a CD-ROM drive on the PC directly into GEM-View for conversion and then save it out onto your Atari hard drive. The possibilities are limitless You will require a null modem cable to connect the two machines together. The PC software required is also included. EGALE V1.52 by Christof Schardt - A Shareware file comparison utility which compares any two text or program files and displays them side by side in a split screen GEM window. Up to sixteen pairs of files can be opened simultaneously and you can select to have either similarities OR differences highlighted. You can even perform searches on the files. Simply the best file comparison utility on Atari computers. Multi-TOS compatible. CD LIST V0.2 by Keith Lord - Allows you to play audio CDs on CD-ROM players which are not SCSI II compliant and therefore fail to play music will any of the other players available. It was designed to work with the IBM 7210 Toshiba XM 3131 and Toshiba XM 3232 drives although it will probably work with others too. MED NET - Networking software which allows you to connect two Atari computers ST TT Falcon or any combination of these together and access all drives on them as if they belonged to the same system. Connection is performed via the Midi ports. Especially handy if one system has a hard drive and the other does not.

BOOM PREVIEW by NPG - A pre-release demo of a forthcoming game. The demo is limited but only intended to show examples of gameplay rather than anything else. The main part of Boom is a fast action shoot em up in a similar style to Blood Money. Your one and only goal is to destroy aliens and avoid being hit. You only get one life but can replay the level as often as you wish. You them proceed to piloting your craft across a fractal generated landscape and finally end up in a 3D dungeon which is currently no more than a mere walkabout. If all goes well Boom could end up as an impressive game. Needs 4 Meg no room for Auto programs or ACCs and a hard drive. DIAMOND BACK 3 - A demo of the most advanced hard drive backup system available on Atari computers. Features include data compression a choice of image backups or file backups backup to floppy hard drive or SCSI tape drive incremental backups and partial restores from backups to name just a few Diamond Back 3 is also Multi-TOS compatible. The demo is fully functional in every respect except for the fact that the backup disks will be blank. Needs 1 Meg. E-BACKUP V1.01 - Another hard drive backup program. This one supports data compression image backups or file backups and lots of less obvious features. It supports the formatting of DD HD and ED disks of standard and expanded capacity and is fully Multi-TOS compatible and can perform backups under interrupt. Unfortunately E-Backup is in German. This demo version only backs up partition D. EDHAK V3.0 from Douglas Communications - This useful tool is something of a hybrid It is a text editor a memory editor and a disk sector editor Files and memory may be viewed and edited in HEX Binary or Decimal. It also allows data to be sent via modem from within the program. EDHak runs as a PRG or ACC. This demo does not allow you to save data to files or to disk sectors. QUILL by Jonathon Lawrenc e - Described as a pen and ink freehand vector drawing package Quill is an ingenious product which lets you draw or write on screen using the mouse or Tabby graphics tablet as if it were a pen. The degree of accuracy and smoothness need to be seen to be believed even with a mouse The full version allows line drawings and writing to be converted to vector graphics. The demo is a full implementation with Save disabled. A number of examples of work created with Quill are included on disk. Full version distributed in the UK by CGS. Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are AWESOME1 BANJO COUGAR_3 GERMAN INYFACE ZOOLOOK CHRUSHIN DEFJAM LETTRIX RADAR2 REFRAIN S30THEME ENERGY. MIDI WIZ V1.0 by Heiko Hartmann - It's the old story of a peaceful kingdom governed by a wise king, who dies without naming a successor. As a result, his six sons get greedy and want the best parts of the kingdom for themselves. You play the part of one of the six sons, preparing to battle it out with your brothers. Midi Wiz uses an overhead view like Nethack and Gauntlet and is a sort of trading/conquest game. You must increase your armed forces, build fortifications and of course trade goods with others. The use of magic to invent things (a bit like Dino Dudes but not so much fun!), create dragons, elephants, healing potions etc, all adds to the appeal. As the name suggests, Midi Wiz allows several computers to be linked together in a Midi network so that you can compete against others in real time. As the game runs on any Atari computer, you could easily link up an ST, TT and Falcon in a network. This unregistered version does not let you save your progress, limits the size of the network to three computers and has a few more restrictions. Register for the full version. THIRD DIMENSION (Issue 4) August 1994 - This excellent multi-format 3D Construction Kit diskmag is back again. This issue sees the start of a new Kit 2 tutorial as well as continuing with the Kit 1 tutorial. There's a feature on using brushes and brush animations, also a large quantity of text files, routines, samples and information about where you can obtain help and advice. On the lighter side, take a look in the leisure folder for some fun and games. This magazine is an excellent source of information for all Kit users. ATARIPHILE #5 - The latest edition of the leading Atari disk mag has just got better. This is no joke, issue 5 has a new revamped interface for those of you whose HTML browsers support frames (watch out for CAB 2, which will support this). As for content, AtariPhile is never lacking. The News Phile looks at the forthcoming Atari Shows and a host of forthcoming releases from system Solutions (Ease 5, CAB 2, Texel, StraTos, StarTrack, RSVE) and Floppyshop (DTP+Graphics CD-ROM, Power Up, Positive Image 2, unnamed vector clip art collection).

Assuming you get three (or more) of a kind , two pairs or a flush, you gain points which vary dependent on your chosen stake. Each time you achieve a score, you get the chance to gamble your winnings, double or nothing. If you achieve a high enough score you get to "buy stuff". This allows you to gain access to an encrypted archive of the author's other programs! Each program has a "price" tag in points. Assuming you achieve a high enough score, you can even purchase the program which creates the archive and pass on your own software to your friends as "prizes" for achieving high scores in TPM. You are given 10 accounts, each with 10 credits. Different players can use different accounts and you can abort a game at any point, saving your account credits for later use. This lets you build up enough points to buy stuff over a period of time. The Poker Machine needs 2Mb of RAM and almost 3Mb of hard drive space. STE ONLY. The Soundtracker Replay Demo .

GEM interface, examples and comprehensive docs. FORST - Forth language. Limited documentation (i.e. no tutorial for beginners) but with complete assembler source for Devpac. FPU - A set of patches for TurboC to support the TT's floating point processor. Programs compiled with these routines will run on a standard ST, but use the fpu when run on a TT, the best of both worlds. POPUP - A demo and Lattice C library for a fashionable 'popup' menu system like the Archie etc, slide off the side of the menu for more options and so on, ad infinitum (or nearly). Can display help message as each option is passed over. Register for 15 quid and you get the source. STARNET BBS - A very flexible program which allows you to customise the system to your own needs. Twenty Sigs are allowed along with 20 upload/download areas. The system can be configured to allow users to play games on-line if desired. Includes Star Term,a communications program which can be called up via Starnet. Has been configured to run Humber Bridge BBS and only needs name of board, welcome screen etc changed to suit. TCB Tracker modules disk 5 by Brian Ross . Files are LEVEL42, MFC2, NINJA, RAP, SUPERTUN, TOCCATA. 68882 - Patches programs written in Pure C and Turbo C so as to make them use a 68882 FPU fitted in a Mega STE. This results in a significant speed increase for compatible programs. Thanks to Ralph Nelson- Tucker for the translation. APPLINE V2.5 by Holger Weets - Displays an application bar at the bottom of the screen (just like the one used in Windows 95 on the PC) with buttons for each active application and a display of free system memory. You can switch, hide, show, freeze applications or even pass parameters to them via the AV protocol. Only runs under MagiC or MagiC Mac. Includes extensive documentation in ST Guide (UTL.5557 format). BINDIFF/BINPATCH V1.4 by Robert Federle - Two programs which allow easy updating of programs from one version to another. BINDIFF allows you to create a patch file containing only the differences between file A and file B. BINPATCH then lets you apply the patch to file A in order to change it into file B. Some applications (particularly Unix derived ones) insist in using the Binary Diff method for upgrading from one version to the next. Unfortunately the programs and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. BOOT PROTECTOR V2.81 by Michel Goux - A virus protection utility. It displays the BPB info for any disk and reports whether of not it is executable. Boot Protector recognises 280 different executable bootsectors and will display the name of any known bootsector. There's a selection of music to listen to whilst checking your collection and you can immunise disks too. Nicely presented program. Doesn't know about the Floppyshop Anti-Virus so don't be alarmed when the disk is reported as unrecognised! SPECCY PRINT by John Bennett - Spectrum programs which allow you to print files from the Spectrum emulator on UTL.3025. Also includes detailed instructions on how to go about doing so and has a couple of other programs (by different authors) for viewing and converting Spectrum screenshots on the ST. JETMAIL V0.99 by Daniel Rosin and Jorg Spilker - Mailer software for use with Semper (COM.5626) and Binkley Term (COM.5268). It is really only of interest to BBS sysops and anyone who is set up as a "point" to a bulletin board on the FidoNet system. My understanding is that Jetmail handles the bulk transfer of mail between BBSs and points within the FidoNet system. The documentation assumes a working knowledge of the above packages and means absolutely nothing to anyone who is not conversant with them. This disk contains a limited demo version, but you can use it to obtain a free key which gives you full access to Jetmail's features for three weeks, by which time you can pay your shareware fee if you are still using this package. TEAM by Impact Software - A demo of the football game of the same name. You take on the role of Holland in a match against Colombia in this demo version. Everything is fully playable with the only restriction being that you just get to play this single match as many times as you like . The full version has a lot more game content but the demo shows off the graphics stereo soundtrack sound effects and animation to their fullest effect. TESSERA by Dolphin Software - A novel adaptation of the Tetris theme. It is played on a 3D grid and has all the Tetris elements like explosions bonuses multipliers and does centre around blocks being correctly positions on the grid. However that s where the similarity stops The squares in the grid are disintegrating and you must cover each square with a block. However you cannot have three like blocks in a row otherwise they explode. In addition the blocks come fast and furious and are not easily positioned. Many original elements in this game make it a fun challenge. This demo only allows play on medium skill level and has only three levels. The full version only costs 5 from the authors. Calling Tessera addictive is an understatement GRAFIX by Silly Software - Learn to draw and paint the Silly way Well that s not exactly true this is a demo of a seriously well thought out graphics tutorial package which aims to teach you quite a number of tricks of the trade. The graphics are drawn by a semi-professional artist and the tutorials are well laid out and easy to follow. In this demo five of the eighteen tutorials are enabled. The full package also comes with a fully functional art program called Grafix Art. Full version from Goodmans. DA'S LAYOUT TC V6.0 - A usable demo of Digital Arts' answer to Calamus SL. This demo version seems to offer much of the functionality of Calamus but with a few notable extras such as PPD output for printing to PostScript devices, colour selection via drag & drop, page/image previews (from the file selector and much more. It imports graphics in TIFF, TGA, GIF, CVG, GEM and EPS formats and supports output to 24-pin, bubblejet, laser, Deskjet and Postscript devices. Several fax drivers are also included. Pages can be output as TIFF, CVG, EPS or in Didot's own vector format as an alternative to printing. The program is very fast in operation. This demo version seems to be restricted only in the fact that you are restricted to 30 minutes' use and cannot save your work. When you start up it will be in German, select from Sprache the Optionen menu to choose the required language. English, French and Italian are supported in addition to German. Needs 4 Mb and a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res or graphic card only on an ST. Accompanist v2.5 - A 16 Voice Midi sequencer written by Henry Cosh using MODULA-2. The latest version features standard Midi file format (up to a resolution of 240 beats) , multi event conductor dialogue, optional use of ST sounds, full range of Midi programs, Midi program change recording, Double click dialogue entry, improved multi voice recording, extended filters, map filtering, mouse rolling speedup, increased time edit accuracy, metronome variable beat pitch, improved external Midi clock and the ability to delete files. A full manual is supplied on disk as well as a simple tutorial. Both can be called up from within the program. There's also over 400k of Midi music in standard midi file format. Registered users get v6.1 and more Midi music! CODEASS V0.48 by Sven Karlsson - An early version of a system which cross- compiles code for the Jaguar on your Atari. Put simply when used in conjunction with Devpac 3 it lets you write Jaguar games on an ST TT or Falcon. I have no ideas as to how you get them up and running on the Jaguar as this version comes with absolutely no docs. Having said that it looks very promising. DU DEBUG by Craig Graham - A trace debugger for MiNT. Features include support for Lattice C s extended debug info for source level debugging multiple breakpoints step over breakpoints C level single step tracing global variable inspection 68000 disassembler and more. Includes full source code. Only works with MiNT will not run on TOS or MagiC. UNIC V2.6 by The YESCrew - A GEM filesystem manager for Minix partitions respecting the KGMD installation. Put simply it s a replacement file selector with bells and whistles which only runs under MiNT with an AV server Desktop such as Thing and handles the file structure of Minix partitions correctly. INDENT V1.6 - A C program formatter. Lets you reformat C source the way you want it. Every C programmer has his own ideas as to how the source should be indented. This program covers just about every eventuality with about 30 possible switches which can be set to suit. Now you can reformat everyone else s source code into a format which is more readable for you. Includes full C source. MOUSE -> - An ST-Guide file showing examples of 10 alternative mouse pointers along with the appropriate C header files for incorporation into your own programs. Can easily be adapted for use in assembler or GFA programs. You will need ST-Guide on FALC.4782 in order to use this file. GEMMA STOS V1.72 by Paul Jones and friends - An extension for STOS Basic which lets you use GEM calls within STOS Yes you can use it to create window based applications in STOS Basic multi-tasking is even be possible as is 256 colour display on the Falcon. The intention is that GEMMA will eventually become a complete re-write of STOS for the meantime it consists of an interpreter extension a compiler extension and a replacement STOS Basic loader. Well documented and worth a look. You will require the original STOS Basic interpreter if you also have the compiler all the better otherwise you will be unable to use GEMMA. CSTATIST by Erik Hall - Generates a textfile which details the number of program lines in any selected C source file including all include files . JPEG_ARI by Guido Vollbeding - An implementation of arithmetic encoding and decoding for JPEG images. Unlike the commonly used JFIF method arithmetic encoding of JPEG images is completely lossless resulting in an exact copy of the original image each time. The JPEG standard supports the lossy JFIF compression method most commonly used due to its enormous savings in disk space Huffman encoding lossless but not in common use and arithmetic encoding seldom used but faster at compressing than Huffman and producing smaller files . Currently there are no packages known to support arithmetic compression and this is the first Atari port of the arithmetic standard. Please note that this package is supplied as C source files which must be added to the full JPEG distribution FALC.4784 and recompiled before use. There are no executables in this package. MPEG_SYS by Guido Vollbeding - Pure C source for analysing and converting MPEG system layer streams. It optionally gives information on the contents of the system layer streams or extracts them as pure MPEG video streams which can be handled by any MPEG video players. Please note this is source code only no executables. XBIOS DSP V0.1 by Steve Tattersall - A partially commented disassembly of all XBIOS calls dealing with the DSP which are found in TOS v4.04. Intended for use alongside an accompanying article in Maggie 24 FALC.6144 . MIDI-MAZE II V1.5 from ä-soft - Guide your Smiley through the maze, help your friends, blast your enemies! Shoot your friend in the back if you must! Get hit three times and you're dead. This is a multi-computer, multi- player game. Two Midi cables (five pin din) are required per computer. Control is by joystick or mouse. Incredible Shareware product. STORM v1.02 by Alan Page - A full featured GEM based telecomms program with its own built-in BASIC language. This allows you to control STORM s actions from script files. STORM is modular so upgrading the program to emulate a different type of terminal or a new transfer protocol is simply a case of obtaining the appropriate 1module and reconfiguring your system. The current version can be configured to emulate TTY VT100/VT102/VT52 and Vidtex terminals. File transfers in ASCII CompuServe BPlus X/Y/Z-Modem and the numerous variants of these are all catered for. This program was originally marketed commercially by Double Click Software but has since been upgraded and re-released as Shareware. It will run on any ST/STE TT Mega ST or Falcon030 and is compatible with MultiTOS large screen monitors and graphics cards. Extensive docs on disk running to well over 100k. Very highly recommended probably the best comms program there is INTERNET - Two text files which will prove invaluable to comms users. The first is entitled Zen and the Art of the Internet . It is a beginners guide covering everything you ll ever need to know about Internet and runs to 102 pages The second file is titled ARCHIE and is a 16 page reference guide to using the Internet archive server listing service also known as ARCHIE. EMAILLST - A massive text file list the EMail addresses on all the popular networks and the home address in many cases of the vast majority of today s Shareware writers and a number of companies too. The emphasis is on German writers but others are included. FM TERMINAL V1.0H - A GEM based or TOS based you choose terminal emulator with a host of features . It emulates ASCII VT52 ANSI and IGS terminals and allows transfers at speeds of up to 19 200 if your modem can cope . ASCII X-Modem Y-Modem Z-Modem and Y-Modem G are all supported. The program has an auto dialer which can store up to 16 numbers allows the serial buffer to be set as high as 32k and supports keyboard macros. The documentation is pretty sparse but the program is very easy to use and all your settings can be saved for use in your next section. HSMODEM7 - A collection of modular serial port patches for the ST TT and Falcon. Allows very high serial port speeds up to 57600 baud or 115200 baud with a hardware modification. As well as fixing various hardware bugs on the serial port HS Modem also gives a faster throughput even with slower modems due to the removal of the bottleneck caused by the restricted port speed. Also increases communication speed via the Midi ports. Now with English docs and an easy to use setup program. SONGZ V1.89 by Antoine Martin - A multi-media database program. It is essentially a database designed to help you keep track of your tapes, records and CDs. Album name, song titles, artist's name, music type, year of release etc are all stored and are quickly and easily searched through. In addition, music and graphics can be linked to individual entries, making this a truly multi-media experience. The only thing is, you'll need a hard drive if you want to do that! Supported graphic formats include Art Director, Degas, IMG, NEO, Doodle, Prism Paint, TIFF and STAD. Music file support includes MID, MOD and AVR. Songz is very neatly laid out in a slick modern GEM interface and it takes no time at all to get the hang of things. Menus can be configured for English, French or German. This unregistered version includes several example databases but limits the number of new sheets to 40 (1600 in the full version) and picture viewing is disabled. Registration removes these restrictions. CLIPIT VOL4 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format.

AERIAL KOMBAT III V2.1b STE by Croft Soft Software - The re- release of this popular Licenceware game as Shareware. This is the third and final part of the Aerial Kombat trilogy. Aerial Kombat is essentially a two player shoot 'em up. The aim is simple, you must destroy your opponent before he destroys you. The three scenarios are World War I, Hover Cars and Choppers. Simply use the joystick to manoevre around the playing area, avoiding crashing into obstacles or your oppenent, whilst dodging enemy fire and letting rip a few rounds of your own. Additional data disks with further scenarios are planned for the future. Quartet music plays throughout. Identical to GAM.6095C but with sampled sounds being used for in-game effects. STE ONLY. Write On - The demo of the word processor by Compo. This is a rolling demo so there's no user interaction. It is well presented and takes an in depth look at each and every feature of the package.

Amiga Joke by An Cool - An Amiga 2000 appears with laughing in the background and then goes onto a screen with some samples music. Single sided. BABY S/E-A nice easy to use French art package . It loads and saves GIF TGA PCX IFF Degas and NEO files. This is an excellent program for applying special effects to pictures especially true colour ones. However there are no drawing tools. Everything s in French but it s worth a go when you consider that you can alter brightness contract mirror in any direction separate RGB frames and much more AUTOTGA - Displays any 24 bit Targa picture in 16 million colours. AUTOGIF - Displays any size of GIF file in 256 colours using the nearest legal Falcon resolution employing overscan if necessary. AUTOIFF - Displays any size of IFF file using the nearest legal Falcon resolution employing overscan if necessary. It copes with any legal IFF including HAM but not 24-bit HAM HAM 8 or similar. AUTORAW - Displays pictures saved out as RAW data in true colour. These picture viewers will not work on VGA monitors. FRAC_DSP - An amazing fractal graphic generator. It runs as a PRG or a CPX and will generate fractal graphics on any ST or compatible. However it really shows its power if you select the DSP option.A typical fractal taking 84 seconds to create on an ST takes 8 seconds with the DSP option on the Falcon It also supports the 68881 maths coprocessor. Fractals can be zoomed at any position as well as created from scratch. SPEED OF LIGHT V2.5 - A fast GIF picture viewer which uses a 16 million colour palette on the Falcon. Various display options are possible pity it s just a viewer. IFF2XIMG - Converts Amiga 32 colour 5 bit-plane IFFs to 256 colour X-IMG format. XGA2TGA - Converts a 384 x 480 XGA picture into a 16-bit Targa file of the same resolution. TGA2XGA - Converts a 384 x 480 16 - BIT Targa picture into a 16-bit XGA file of the same resolution. ST versions of the converters are also included but the pictures can t be viewed on an ST. VIEW XGA - Allows you to view XGA pictures. FALCONSL - Two excellent slideshow programs for displaying those excellent Targa true colour pictures. SNAPSHOT by Dieter Fiebelkorn - An ACC which allows you to capture a screen from the Desktop or any GEM based package and save it as a colour IMG X-IMG file. BNR VIEW by Binaris - An excellent picture viewer and converter. You can have up to 20 windows open each displaying a different picture. It loads and saves GIF87a Targa type 2 and TG1 images. 24-bit Targas can be converted to 16-bit and the program can display pictures packed using Atomik or Speedpacker to save disk space. You can scroll by dragging the mouse on images larger than the screen. Fully Multi -TOS compatible and very fast at loading and displaying. FIX A GIF V1.0 - Allows you to convert GIF89a files to GIF87a format split GIF files containing multiple images and fix GIFs created with the PC program GIFLITE. FRAC PLAY - A fractal generator Mandelbrot Julia and L-Sys which runs in any resolution. It is excellent when run in 256 colours and true colour. There s a good deal of options which can be set to your require-ments and a number of saved files on disk. My only reservation is that it saves in Neo Degas or IMG formats only. It is obviously best to use a snapshot utility like the one on this disk. FRACTALE - A very fast true colour Mandelbrot generator which uses the DSP.A very fast zoom mode is implemented as well as the ability to fly into the fractal The detail is incredible with you being able to zoom/fly right into a single pixel and make it fill the entire window FRACTGEN - Generates fractal graphics using a number of selected algorythms applied to any of the six available fractal types. You can zoom in to an almost infinite degree. It recalculates the zoomed area by representing it in a blockish fashion like an art package does then smoothing it off using your chosen algorythm. The results are very detailed and once again the only criticism is the inability to save in a sensible format. 01A maths coprocessor can be used to speed things up even further. GEMTARGA - Displays a 16-bit or 24-bit Targa file in a GEM window. It can display the picture in any resolution and will reduce the colours to suit. Files can be loaded individually or run automatically from a script file. Various options can be entered but once again the only way to save is with snapshot. PLAY FLI v1.3 - A very simple player program which allows you to run FL0I animations created with AutoDesk Animator on the PC. Once installed you simply double - click the FLI to play it.

Do you have what it takes to become a Cybernaut The full version of the game contains many more missions. TETRHEX v1.20 by Vincent Lef vre - A Tetris inspired game played with hexagons rather than blocks. What s more you play on a hexagonal grid which makes the game even harder. As with Tetris the blocks comprised of four hexagons of the same colour in this case fall down the screen and you must try to create lines of the same colour. The object is to stop the pile of blocks from reaching the top of the screen. Blocks can be turned and areas of the hexagon can be bombed all against a time limit. This game is unique in that it allows you change the rules and make up new ones by way of script files Although this Shareware version is fully playable the registered version has many extras including the ability to load and unload rule files the option to write a voice recognition module which uses the DSP enhanced playability joypad compatibility Multi-TOS compatibility resolution independence and much more. A frustratingly difficult yet addictive game. Although Falcon specific must be run from ST low res. SKY DUEL by Tim Chapman - A Shareware air and land combat game for up to three players. You can choose to control a plane helicopter cannon or balloon. You can also choose which one of the five landscapes to play as well as a number of other options such as weather conditions number of games arcade or strategy game etc. Regardless of which craft you decide to control the object is the same to destroy your opponent s craft before he destroys yours.

It also supports the editing of desktop icons within RSC files as used by TOS v2 upwards (including colour icons on the Falcon). An incredible piece of software. Menus are in German, but obvious. Fully function with the exception of save. Like Phoenix, the program itself runs in a re-sizeable GEM window if run in low res. FONTVERTER - Converts Calamus fonts to Publishing Partner and PageStream fonts to Calamus. This demo only converts the first four characters in the font. The full version can also convert from Calamus to PageStream and Postscript to Calamus. CV-TRANSLATOR v3.0 by Carlos Varela - A language translator similar to ENGDEUTCH on UTL.4329.

Useful if you don't already have a hardware clock, or a cartridge such as Forget-Me-Clock. Mandelbrot and Julia Sets for creating fractal graphics . This disk is written in Fast Basic and came from FAST. It is probably the quickest fractals package around and offers a large amount of control over your fractals. BBS - The C source code for the Infinity BBS - needs compiling. Minidos - C source code for an alternative operating system - needs compiling. Orbit - a satellite tracking program - fully documented and High res only. Nightsky - another astronomy program. Mouser - another version of Rat-Trap from Germany - prevents menus from falling down accidentally. ABZmon - a good 68000 monitor - better than MonST on Hisoft's Devpac 1. EDU.04 & EDU.05 THE HISTORY FILE - A three disk set. It takes the form of a graphic adventure based around a historical investigation set in West Calder, a village near Edinburgh. Hours of fun and learning. MIDIMENU by Marc Bradley - A utility for testing MIDI gear. It tests each MIDI channel with status changes, program changes and control changes. It also monitors input, giving the MIDI channel number, note number, velocity on/off, pitchwheel and vibrato. MIDITREE - Flashes lights on a Christmas tree in time to music, in the form of MID files. 20 files appropriate to the Christmas season are provided. It can of course play your own MID files. Low res only. MUSIC - 2 files in MIDI format:- Angel Talk from Heavenly Music and Magrock from Hands On Software. These are programmed for General MIDI, specifically the Roland Sound Canvas, but can be played on any multi-channel MIDI set-up. Extensive docs are provided to ensure you get the best use out of these files, which are excellently done. SCHENBERG - An algorithmic composing program by Gareth Jones, said to be based on techniques developed by the Second Viennese School of composers, Schenberg, Berg, and Webern. As is usual with this type of program, results are rather avant guard. SWEET 16 - A demo version (3000 event limit) of a 16 track pattern based sequencer by Rolf Nilsson of Sweden. The full version costs $30. A fairly comprhensive sequencer, although editing is limited to an event list only. However, it does include system exclusive save/load which is unusual at this price. Also, Human Quantise is nice to see. Zodian Slideshow by The Ghostbusters - A well presented musical slideshow of science fiction pictures created in Spectrum 512. BATTLETRIS - Yet another Tetris clone. This one differs very little from the original game but is enhanced by better graphics and a great stereo soundtrack. As well as the standard game you can play against a friend by linking two Ataris Falcon or ST together via a null modem cable. Good addictive fun. NOVA CROSSFIRE - A great game to take your mind off your work. Nova Crossfire runs as an ACC in any resolution of 640x400 or higher. You wander around the playing area shooting at everything that moves. The only problem is that there are LOTS of baddies and they are shooting back at you from all directions. MINES3 - A Minesweeper clone in which you have to guide your Smiley from top left to bottom right on an 11x20 grid without uncovering any bombs. As usual the number of bombs in adjoining squares is always displayed so that you can make an educated guess as to where the bombs are. A soundtrack plays throughout and there are three levels of play. MOLECULE - You have to locate four five or six atoms on an 8x8 grid by firing laser beams at molecules you position on the grid. Interpreting the results of firing the laser allow you to work out where the atoms are located or at least it should in theory. All this is of course done against a time limit. TRAPS - A Minesweeper clone. You must clear all the squares on the grid without uncovering any traps. The playing area is massive the grid being 16x30 with 99 traps to uncover If you uncover all the traps fast enough you get your name into a highscore table. TRIPLE YAHOO - A variation of the dice game Yahtze where you have to choose the most beneficial category to enter your scores into in order to achieve the highest total. This version supports 1 to 4 players includes sampled sound SpeedoGDOS support and is Multi-TOS compatible. Probably the best Yahtzee clone yet. WATERSHIP - You are Wotan a Saxon war god and some dinosaurs have stolen your axe. You transform yourself into a small boat and go in search of the axe. What exactly you do is rather unclear as the instructions forget to mention it in any detail MASTERS OF CHAOS by Gen Wax - A Dungeon Master clone with a difference it s specifically designed for two players using a split screen display. The graphics are great but there s no sound on the Falcon Control is entirely by keyboard with one player using keys on the left of the main keyboard and the other player using the numeric keypad. Alternatively two Ataris ST TT or Falcon can link up for a two player game via the Midi ports. There are instructions contained within the program but they re pretty thin on the ground. However this should not pose a problem for Dungeon Master and Chaos fans. The SAS Demo (by SAS) . The World's first underwater scroller! Features a number of tunes and four graphic screens. THE REVOLUTION DEMO by STAX - Once you have viewed the excellent intro sequence, you proceed to the starfield that the demo is based in. You have to pilot your spaceship around various starfields to gain access to the demo screens (no ladders, and doors in this menu!). The screens are produced by various demo crews. Before embarking, its a good idea to read the online manual, as no further help is given for piloting your ship. The demo screens have all the usual effects such as full screens, sampled sound, scrollers, and even a car racing game if you can find it! The graphics in both the introduction and the demo screens are clearly drawn and add to the atmosphere. Clip Art (19TH CENTURY, BORDERS).

EXTRACTOR FAN V1.0 by Movement Software - A handy program which copies only the files which have been changed within a specified directory to an alternative directory of your choice. It does this my using the archive bit in the file headers. Invaluable for backing up data without having to either copy everything or remember which files you ve altered recently. Needs TOS 1.4 or later. EXTENDOS PRO UPDATE TO V2.3a - Updates v2.1 2.2 or 2.3 of Anondyne Software s CD ROM driver software to v2.3a. The latest features include direct to disk recording to SCSI hard drives MetaDOS 2.3 DOS to BOS drive mapping for programs which need this Midi-COM support universal SCSI 2 compatibility for unrecognised drives new features for CD Audio and a host of bug fixes. Please note that this patch is of no use to you unless you already have ExtenDOS Pro v2.1 2.2 or 2.3. Includes a ZIP you ll need ST Zip on FALC.4351 to decompress it file containing details of 1000 CD-ROMs which can be made to run on your Atari MOST VIEWER by Brian Grier - A front end which lets you use the PC version of Compton s New Media CD-ROMs on your Atari. They all use Compton s M.O.S.T. technology therefore this player works with all M.O.S.T. compatible titles. It brings up the index of the CD-ROM and lets you browse through the various articles. You can even use the built-in search feature to locate the articles you require. Registered users get an improved version of the software which includes sound support displays the graphics linked to the articles and lets you access the dictionary supplied on all M.O.S.T. titles. Obviously you ll require a CD-ROM drive driver software and an appropriate Compton s CD-ROM in order to use this software. FILE FLAG MANAGER V1.03 by Kai Holst - A nice easy to use program which allows you to change a program s header flags. These control the Fastload bit whether the program can use alternative memory and whether it can run in alternative memory. What makes this program different is that you decide whether a flag is to switched on or off for either of the two supported sets . You then determine which file extensions belong to each set. Click onto a drive or partition and all files matching your chosen extensions will have their header flags changed to your specifications. It s as easy as that. WINCOM v1.6UK by Sven Kopacz - Improves window handling and other system functions when running under MagiC or MagiC Mac. In addition it allows most window functions to be accessed by keyboard shortcuts. Wincom supports the hiding or showing of windows belonging to selected applications has various iconification functions use with ALICE - see below allows window cycling between those belonging to a chosen application or between all windows and swapping between applications. It also has various window topping functions can switch the mouse on/off and even has its own built-in task manager. Wincom now supports up to 64 applications with a total maximum of 64 open windows. Now fully translated into English. ALL ICONIFY ENABLER ALICE V0.9 by Sven Kopacz - An Auto folder program which allows any program to be iconified shrunk down into a small window the size of an icon . The only catch is that it requires an operating system which supports iconification. These are currently MagiC > v3 MagiC Mac > v1.2.4 Multi-TOS Geneva and N.AES. Please note that only the first two of these are supported in this initial release of ALICE. Connect Thing Freedom and several other modern applications already support iconification under the appropriate operating systems. ALICE brings this same functionality to older programs too. HARD DISK OPTIMIZER V2.6 by H P Vetter - One of the smartest looking hard disk optimisers and defragmenters around. It checks for data errors FAT mismatches directory problems lost clusters etc physical errors faulty sectors and fixes these. It can also defragment your drive too. Multi-TOS compatible and very simple to use. It doesn t look as pretty as Diamond Edge but it does its job well. Program in English but docs in German although we ve done a rough translation. SHADOWRUN MATRIX CREATOR v1.32 by Brian Duff - A computer controlled GamesMaster for use with the on-line Shadowrun role-playing game. MASTIC by Walu Software - The latest generation TIC processor which is fully compliant with the latest FTSC standard. It is used for automating tasks on bulletin boards. If you don t know what a TIC processor is you don t need one COSTA V1.50 by Gary Priest - Reads details of your Internet calls from NOS.LOG and works out the total length of time spent on-line and the cost of the calls. You can customise the call charges and charging rates to reflect those appropriate to where you dial for your Internet access.

It even includes the VAT What s more you can clear all data when you pay the bill so that remaining data is valid for the next bill. MODEM CONFIG V0.1B by Xavier Lucroze - Gives information on the speed serial number and country code of your modem. AVALON V3.76 by Stephan Slabihoud - An alternative to Tiny-Shell. It is a GEM based shell for points in a FidoNet or compatible system. It is of use to individuals who have their own point setup and also to BBS sysops as it allows them to automate many routine tasks such as generating user lists performing unattended polling file requests setting up a msgbase hatching files converting pointlists and odelists in uselists etc. Please note that you will also need a mailer program Binkley Term or Semper an importer Legada or JetMail and a message editor LED . MG-FTP V1.03 by Michael Guse - An ftp client for use with STiK. It allows you to log onto an ftp server and up/download files. MG-FTP supports both anonymous and password protected logons. The directories on the remote machine are displayed in a window and almost everything is mouse controlled. In fact you can even save your favourite sites in a hotlist so that a simple selection from the list logs you straight on to the server. Please note that Weather Forecast and MG-FTP will not work unless STiK is installed and enabled. Also both run under either single TOS or multi-tasking environments. You will of course need an account with an Internet Service Provider NOS POP3 - A modified version of AtariNOS which supports the POP3 mail protocol rather than the more common SMTP. Use this as a replacement for NOS.TTP when using Oasis v1.35 on FALC.5292 if your ISP uses POP3. You MUST use this version of NOS if your ISP is Pavillion as they only support POP3 most others support both standards. STE DMA Sound Player - Load up the sound files from disk and hear brilliant music on the STE. It is also possible to edit and create your own STE sound files. The demo file on disk needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. 68017 - A 68020 emulator for the ST! It emulates 30 of the commonest instructions used by the 68020 and later processors. It will NOT run TT or Falcon programs but what it will do is allow programmers to test code for the 68020 (within certain limitations) without having to buy a new processor. Source code in Turbo Assembler format is included. BARCODE - Generates barcodes using a Panasonic video recorder and barcode readers. The docs are in German so it's difficult to work out just how it operates. RMS BOOT V1.21 - A read only control panel. It lets you set the time and date, displays free RAM, includes a built-in 'Mousetrap', change the Desktop colours and alter all the usual parameters like RS232 and printer settings. What makes it so different from CONTROL.ACC is that it only takes up 5K of RAM. FONT INFO V1.0 - Displays information such as font name , ID number, point size, DPI, spacing etc; for all GDOS fonts in a specified directory. GHOST - This program eases the pain in transferring to and from Macs on emulators prior to Spectre GCR. It converts Aladin, Spectre Macintosh MFS disk formats to and from each other. Assuming that you don't copy a disk to a format with a lower capacity, the program works well. In fact you can often get away with using smaller formats if the source disk is not full! ICONMAN V0.6 - This program contains a library of over 2500 Desktop icons for use in TOS v2 upwards. You can import your own icons from RSC files or export your chosen selection in RSC format. Please note that this is not a icon editor, merely a 'database' of icon from which you can import and export RSC files to your own requirements. ID EDIT by Charles Johnson - Allows you to view and alter the ID number associated with any GDOS font. This program is vital if you want to use two fonts which currently share the same ID number. TX2FMT - Allows Z*Net disk mags to be reformatted into the TX2 format. It has been tried with various issues of Z*Net and works with most. It allows you to have bold text, coloured text and the likes in your ASCII file. 20TH CENTURY USSR HISTORY - The history of Russia between the years 1917 and 1983. The presentation is good and all requisite data is accessed via icons running the length of the screen on the left hand side. The facts are mainly text with two graphics maps of relevant parts of the USSR available for reference. Text may be scrolled using the icons. A section is devoted to the origins and growth of the Communist party, while historical data may be selected by clicking on any year between 1917 and 1983 inclusive. Further data on party leaders such as Brezhnev and Trotsky is also available. A listing of the Tsars from 1309 to 1917 is included. A most comprehensive program on the subject. Look out for USA HISTORY, coming soon. SHOCKER 2 - A very addictive puzzle/strategy game for one or two players. If two players are playing, they must connect the computers together using the Midi or RS232 ports. The ST version is also on disk so that you can play against a friend. Using the mouse, you move a marble around the screen collecting hearts. You must collect all the hearts on a level to proceed to the next. Each level presents new challenges and requires different skills. There are 100 levels in all and levels which have been beaten may be bypassed next time round. Full instruction are accessed by pressing HELP. Mono only, needs 1 Meg. APACHE V1.2.5 by Jan P Schmidt - Have you ever wanted to use your Atari as a server on the WWW or as an Intranet server for your company Look no further Apache is all you will ever need in order to achieve this as well as a high speed modem and an account with an ISP of course . It is based on NCSA s HTTPD Web server software which was the most commonly used server software prior to Apache s release. Apache now leads the pack. It is distributed as Freeware and this is the Atari version. Apache comes with an extensive user manual in HTML format of course but is not recommended for beginners. Now for the catches.... You will need at least 4Mb of memory a minimum screen resolution of 640x400 ST high unless you have a graphics card and masses of hard drive space to use as server space. It is also desirable to have a permanent connection to the Net otherwise your server will be inaccessible to other users except when you are on-line. The way to get round this is of course to have your main Web page on a permanent site with a link to your home/work machine and state it will only function at certain times. Some users are already employing this method. One last snag you must be running MiNT or MiNTNet as Apache does not run under TOS or MagiC. MYMAIL v0.61b by Erik Hall - One of the most highly polished mailer programs ever written on an Atari. It is very graphically oriented with animated colour icons but it s not all gloss it s a highly capable program. Mymail uses either STiK FALC.5420 or STiNG FALC.6038 to connect to the outside world so it is essential to have one or other installed before running the program. Features include the ability to check the subject line and sender s name before downloading mail also lets you delete unwanted mail without downloading it send and receive uuencoded and Base64 encoded attachments without the use of external programs check the server for new messages at preset intervals when on-line maintain mailing lists allowing you to send a single message to multiple recipients option to automatically add signature file to all messages and a whole lot more. Mymail includes all the features of Oasis Newsie Antmail and the likes along with a handful of invaluable extras all dressed up in the most eye-grabbing interface you re ever likely to see. It supports OLGA and BubbleGEM both on UTL.6070 AV server messages and Multi-TOS s drag and drop protocol. All docs in HTML format so you ll need a copy of CAB FALC.5420 in order to read them. Here s the down side Mymail needs to run on an AES supporting animated colour icons N.AES MagiC Multi-TOS or TOS 4.xx and realistically needs a hard drive. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are BBRAIN2, FLASHDAN, HTHRASH, JOYKOVA, MADMAX, TUNE1DF. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts to some of William Shakespeare's histories and tragedies. This disk contains King Lear, Othello, Richard III, Romeo and Juliet.

STOS BITS & PIECES by Robert Annett - A collection of STOS source code and articles on STOS, much of which was published by the now defunct STupendous disk mag. There's also an incomplete game which was being developed by the author. One level is present and you can obviously add more yourself. A digidrum demo with source code and some miscellaneous source code with accompanying docs are also included. A worthwhile addition to your collection if you are a STOS coder. There's also a few snippets of assembler source for the more enlightened! MOUSECOL by Tony Greenwood - A little STOS accessory which lets you load up a Degas or NEO picture and find out the mouse coordinates and colour values in it. It also offers to grab from a program bank but I can't get this bit working!

The user is left to provide the clues. Includes a lexicon editor. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. COMPONIUM by Suma - An eight track composition program. Unlike tracker type programs, this package uses standard musical notation written on a conventional music stave. Different instrument samples can be assigned to different tracks and several songs can be open at once, allowing you to cut and paste data between them. Componium is fully GEMmed and very well documented. This is a near-fully functional demo with just Midi import and the Sample Studio disabled in addition to Save (of course!). There are seven high quality tracks supplied for you to listen to, or you can have a try at composing your own. HD DRIVER v7.5 by Uwe Seimet - A usable demo of this popular hard disk driver software. Amongst its features, it supports drives of over 1 Gb, is fully XHDI v1.25 compliant, supports ZIP drives and DOS formatted drives, allows up to 23 partitions, supports two IDE drives (Falcon) and is fully configurable. In addition, HD Driver is probably the fastest hard disk driver as well as being the most advanced in terms of features. The demo only lets you write to partition C, limits the size of supported media to 1 Gb and does not let you save your customised preferences. Apart from that, it is fully configurable. THE JURASSIC COLLECTION by The Golden Otter - A massive collection of over 130 very high quality scanned images of Dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals such as the early descendants of man, cats, dogs,sheep, rabbits, cattle and elephants.

AGTSHELL V1.0 by Dan Panke - Two programs used in conjunction with the ADVENTURE GAME TOOL KIT. The original AGT programs are a bit of a pain as they require the source code and compiled code to be in the same path as the AGT program files. AGT corrects this and AGT_Shell allows the user to select the programs to compile or run via the file selector. CALL_TTP V1.0 by Martin Braschler - An interesting program that gives a great deal more control and flexibility over the use of TTP programs. It installs itself in the OS and every time a TTP is run, CALL_TTP is called up first. The options include the ability to switch between white-on-black and black-on-white, a stopwatch to compare the performance of similar TTP-programs, the ability to write all output to the printer or a file, the option to switch off the cursor or make it blink, the ability to extend the length of the TTP command line and support for pre-configured script files to save the hassle of typing in the same commands time after time.

FPU PATCH V1.1 by Hartman Pfitzinger - Allows you to patch programs written with Turbo C or Pure C so as to optimise them for use with an FPU. Programs which use a lot of floating point calculations can produce speed increases of up to 30% when patched. Always patch a backup copy of your program, just in case it doesn't work! Only of use if you have a PAK accelerated ST, a TT or a Falcon with FPU. HD_OPTIM V1.00 by Jon Marshall - A good hard disk optimiser program which will defragment and optimise your hard drive to speed up disk access time. Included is disk information on fragmented chains, free space, cross-linked/lost clusters and much more. Menu driven program with good docs and user options.

EC PAINT V1.01 by Eines Computing - Just when you thought that PAD could not be beaten, along comes a worthy challenger. EC Paint hails from Norway and has a host of features not normally associated with mono art packages, the ability to load colour pictures being just one. In this case, you are given extensive (but easy to use) control over the dithering process. It loads IMG, PCX, TIF, IFF, CRG, BMP, MSP, MAC, PAC, DOO, GEM, EPS, NEO, TN?, PI? & PC? formats and saves back using about a dozen of those formats.

When you first start up the program, it loads up all the menu entries for all the puzzles of the correct resolution.

SPRINGY THINGS by Andrew Gower - A 3D platform game, the main idea of which is to paint all the blue tiles purple by first landing on a paint pot and then on the blue tiles.

S-FALC.4220 S-FALC.4221 S-FALC.4222 S-FALC.4223 THE ATARI FALCON 030 ROLLING DEMO by Moving Pixels - A massive 11 Meg demo from Down Under . It gives good examples of graphics sound and the software bundled with the Falcon e.g. Speedo GDOS the calendar the talking clock SAM D2D and the two bundled games. Simply click onto a subject you want info on or sit back and let the demo choose a category randomly. Ideal suited to a shop window display or simply to impress your friends. Requires 4 Meg of memory a hard drive and a VGA display. The Safe Sex Demo by Harvey Lodder - His best demo to date. Don't be misled by the title, there is nothing distasteful about this demo. It is one of the cleverest pieces of work in years, consisting of excerts from various pop songs in a similar fashion to 'Bionic Santa' and the Barron Knights' classics of the '70s. Completely harmless and highly amusing. ARENA - A two player game where each player battle for survival in the arena. Since it has a futuristic setting, the scenario is further complicated by various objects which must also be dodged or destroyed. Your objective is to score more points than your opponent. Control is by two joysticks or one joystick and the keyboard. PLEASE NOTE - TOS 1.0 ONLY! BLOBBRUN - A platform action game.

Completely mouse controlled, with 25 levels of great puzzle action. MUMMY'S PLAYTIME by Silly Software - Deano makes his return with this highly amusing monster release. It's absolutely packed with sampled speech from the minute you load up. The highly amusing intro ends with Deano playing the can-can on a piano! On the main menu, Mummy (apparently based on a real person) asks you which of the four games you want to play. Here's a quick run down of the four games. BANGMAN - An adaptation of hangman. Mummy thinks of a word and you must guess a letter. A stick of dynamite is placed in the poor sod's pocket every time your guess is wrong. Seven incorrect guesses and Mummy's favourite troll presses the plunger and blows him up! GO TROLL - A version of the card game fish (anyone heard of it?). All the cards feature trolls. Ask Mummy if she has a particular troll. If she does, you get it, otherwise you pick a card from the pile, then it's Mummy's turn. If you collect four of the same troll, you get a "book". The aim of the game is to get more books than Mummy. CHASE THE TROLL -A version of Chase The Ace. Mummy asks you to find a named troll (it helps if you are an expert on trolls!) and you must click onto the card you think has that troll's picture on it. CHOO CHOO SHOE SHOOT - You are on the platform of a railway station and Mummy has lost her shoes. The object of the game is to shoot the pairs of shoes which appear in the train's windows. There are other things, bad guys included, to shoot at. Get hit five times and the game's over! The first Silly Software release in a couple of years and well worth getting your hands on. Although it's obviously aimed at young children, it's a fun game for those of us who have not yet grown up! Needs 1Mb. A hard drive is recommended but not essential. Please note, the four games do not run independently, you need to order all the disks. MODULATION by Checkpoint ESCape - A collection of 13 original MODs to listen to with a scroller and animated plasma generated background. The music style varies from one MOD to another but all are very well done. A great advantage of this demo is the fact that the MODs are contained within the program so there s no disk accesses once loaded. RGB or VGA needs 4 Mb. Doesn t run on 14Mb machines. POOLWISE v3.6 - A Shareware football pools prediction program. Very comprehensive and well thought out (though hard work to keep scores and fixtures up to date). Jackpots not guaranteed! ENGLISH < >GERMAN by Ralf Zimmerman - How would you like the power of a pocket translator on your Atari OK slight exaggeration but this package is the closest yet. It is supplied as ST-Guide ST-Guide Lite included on disk files which include several thousand English and German words. It is organised logically and offers translations in both directions. If you need to translate an entire ASCII text Ruftrade UTL.5003 will perform the task faster and save the result to disk. What this package does is let you look up individual words in either language and unless you search the whole document is much faster than using a pocket dictionary. It s slower than Ruftrade but much more accurate due to its larger vocabulary. I see it as an invaluable companion to Ruftrade for translating the words that package stumbles on. ENGLISH < >GERMAN must have taken many months to compile and is an invaluable addition to everyone s collection. Needs a hard drive. ST REPORT Issues 737-741 - An on-line magazine from The States. Covers the period 13th September 1991 to 18th October 1991. EUREKA V2.12 by Francois le Coat - A combined statistical analysis/3D modelling package. You need to understand mathematical functions to O Grade/Standard Grade/GCSE level at a minimum in order to make use of this program. You start out by creating a graph using one of the supported formulae or the Julia or Mandelbrot fractal sets, then map your graph onto one of the supplied 3D surfaces. Your creations can also be made into 3D animations. In addition, Eureka can also import images and animations created using the Persistence Of Vision raytracer. Docs in French, program in English and French. UK support through Cyberstrider. Needs at least 2 Mb and a hard drive. ALVI V0.05B by Uwe Haase - A JPEG viewer. Despite what the docs say, you must run ALVI from the Desktop (i.e. drag & drop etc don't work). The current version runs in any resolution but only displays the image in monochrome. Image can be displayed at various zoom levels. Its main claim to fame is its speed at loading. MP_STE V2.78 by Guillaume Tello - The ST conversion of the Falcon program MPlayer. Lets you play Quick Time, AVI, FLI, FLC, FLH, SEQ, PI1+DLT and FLM animations on any ST. The STE in the name signifies that you will get stereo sound (where appropriate) if running on an STE. Mono sound is supported on pre-STE machines. It also allows you to create Quick Time, AVI and FLM animations on your ST as well as animated GIFs for the Web. An excellent tool with a few restrictions in this Shareware release. Register for the full version. THIRD DIMENSION (issue 1) May 1994 - The first of an excellent multi-format magazine aimed directly at 3D Construction Kit users.

Third Dimension provides a wealth of knowledge for 3D Construction Kit users. All the articles are in ASCII format and can be read straight from the Desktop or loaded into your favourite word processor. If you use or are thinking of using the 3D Construction Kit, this new diskzine is going to be necessity for you. S-FALC.5816 S-FALC.5817 THE KEFF DEMO by An Cool - He s back After a long absence from the demo scene Mr TCB graces our screens again courtesy of his Nordic Atari Show 96 demo Keff. No new tricks in this one but originally presented. It features countless full screen ray traced scenes the boy s face is too real to be raytraced yet too 3D to be digitised most of which are new. There s also a number of interesting effects with shade bobs and the obligatory tunnel sequence. Being An Cool there s no way you can avoid the scroller It s huge and gets a bit confusing when several of them start wobbling around the screen. Undoubtedly the best effect is the last one which features a raytraced goldfish which appears to be emerging from the screen and has some nice line generated effects running in the background. There is of course a stereo soundtrack running throughout. One of his better Falcon offerings. RGB ONLY. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. 43 CALAMUS FONTS . Most fonts on this disk are complete. Fonts on disk are BODONI CHROME CURSIVE CONDENSED HALLBATS DRURY LANE ITALIC FLASH BOOK GAUDY CONDENSED GILLIA GILLY HARLOE KLERANDEN HEAVY MOUSE REVUE SPOKANE STUDY WILD WEST WINDY COMPFONT EGYPTIAN MORIA ATARILGO BODONI_I CASUAL CELTIC CURCOND CURS_FIN DRURLANE GLIP_B GLIP_BO GLIP_O GLIP_R LUCIFER LUCIFERI LUCIFRBI LUCIFR_B LUCIFSBI LUCIF_SB SUIZO SUIZO_IT TIEMPO TIEMPOBI TIEMPO_B TIEMPO_I.

You must register with the author to get the codes for the other levels. Needs 1 Meg. THE VENTURA DEMO by The Overlanders - The intro sequence was originally intended as an intro to a game they were coding but never finished. Follow the storyline and watch the alien get into his Delorean and fly off in 'Back To The Future' style. Just as lands on a far away planet and gets out of his vehicle you are ready for the game to start but get the main menu of The Ventura Demo! Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. The intro was incredible and the main menu is impressive too. Various large animated sprites make it interesting to watch before you'll even consider entering a demo! The demo proper consists of 11 sub demos and a reset demo, none of which you can complain about. There's plenty of fullscreen stuff, parallax scrolling, fullscreen distortions, bobs and more bobs, Spectrum 512 picture show, you name it and Ventura has it. This is a really impressive demo which has 3.5 Meg of graphics alone compacted into it! The sound, graphics and animation are all superb. You'll need both disks though!

Issue 5 looks at the forthcoming Atari Shows (Sept '96), has an interesting news section, a piece on the Atari Authors Association and lots of background information on Croft Soft Software, their members and their software releases to date. In addition, there's a superb contacts page which lists the telephone numbers and email addresses of all companies, user groups etc; supporting Atari computers along with direct links (if you're on-line!) to all the popular Atari based Web pages and ftp sites. This issues (p)reviews are of Starball, Heartland and Destruction Imminent and there's cheat codes for 7 popular Jaguar games.

The Croft Soft history, Atari Authors Association and Contacts pages are all repeated from issue 5. Atari Times is well presented and contains a wealth of information. It's just a pity the issues are a bit on the small side at present. DUET MAGIC V0.4 by Senseless Software - A Freeware patch which allows the networking software DUET (on UTL.5035) to run under the MagiC operating system (rather than TOS). ITOSHO by The Flerps - A complete new level for UDS's game, Substation. It takes the place of your original disk 2. Obviously you must already have Substation or it won't work! SATURN DAY 1994 by Lionel Ruiz - Computes the positions of Saturn's moons and plots them around the planet or displays them on a graph. You can view positions at any given time of day or watch an animation of all movements throughout the specified day. Very accurate for data up to 1995, less accurate after that. Program mostly in English, docs in English and French. Colour and mono versions included. STARMAP V1.4 by Lionel Ruiz - By clicking onto various buttons you can display the stars, planetary nebulae, open clusters, diffuse nebulae, globular clusters and galaxies either individually or superimposed over each other. It is also possible to zoom in or out of any section within the display. Program in English, docs in English and French. STRAINER by UDS - A cheat program for use with their Substation game. Load in any saved game file and change its attributes to suit. It lets you select different starting levels and much more. Obviously you'll need the original Substation game in order to use this program. TAKEOFF V2.07 by Thomas Small and Oliver Scheel - Another Mac OS inspired utility. It runs as an ACC and has slots for up to 32 programs, each of which can be buried in folders up to 16 deep. Each program has a 16 character alias which appears in the drop down menu. If Gemini is installed, you can 'walk through' the relevant directories to reach the file and indeed move to any file in any related directory. Needs to be used with a VA protocol aware Desktop (such as Gemini, Thing or NeoDesk) so that the applications can be launched. Also works under Multi- TOS and MagiC. Docs in German but we've done a RUF translation. TD by Jim Frimmel - If you have a Dallas clock chip installed, this program reads it at bootup and sets the system time and date accordingly. If not, it displays the time you last switched on and lets you alter it to suit. In this case, it also survives a reset so that you only have to re-enter the time/date after a cold boot. 4_PACK - Compresses executable programs by up to 60%. FUNK ALERT v1.1 from PD virtuoso Charles F Johnson - An auto folder program which assigns buttons in GEM alert boxes to F1/F2/F3. Throw away your mouse!

Includes C source. MCP - Command line driven move and copy program. Will handle whole directories or files selected by name, wildcard or date/time. N_PRN_0 - Resets the printer port. Especially useful for the HP Deskjet if you switch it on after your ST. SHOWMEM4 - Displays detailed information about ST memory allocation (GEMDOS memory descriptors). For serious minded programmers. ST_TOOLS v1.93 - An impressive ST version of the legendary PC-TOOLS. Generates directory tree for disk in window and allows file selection. One of the most comprehensive disk and memory editing tools available. Also optimises hard drive usage and attempts to repair damaged file structures on floppy and hard drive. TEXTVIEW v1.10 - View an ASCII file in a GEM window. UNCODER - Encodes and decodes files in standard 'uuencode' format as used in UN*X based systems like USENET. Includes C source. ZOOM - Opens a window on the Desktop showing a x8 magnification of the area round the mouse pointer. Zoom is mono only. CDC_220 - Chaos Disk Compactor v2.2. Compresses a whole floppy into a single file, handy for sending by modem. DC_LIGHT_OFF - Deselects floppy drive (turns off light and motor) if it stays on after you boot. Install it in your AUTO folder. DC_MOUSEOMETER - Measures how far your mouse travels in a session (weird or what?). For use with Xcontrol on UTL.391. DC_RUN_REZ -Will automatically change resolution as required by any program (if you have the hardware, of course). Works in all three ST and three TT resolutions. POOLSCHECK - Automatic pools coupon checker. Especially useful if you keep the same numbers each week. Will also generate random selections for your next entry.

Two excellent animations supplied with a player program . MOUSE - Probably the funniest animation I've ever seen. Watch the mouse take fright and run for its life! RRHOOD - An impressive animation of a dancing girl complete with shadows, lighting etc. Both were converted from the PC by Martin Packer using FLICON on ART.3190C. Both require 1 Meg of memory if you are running the ANIMTOOL program (medium res only). Half meg owners must run MINITOOL.TTP and type the name of file to be run. TCB TRACKER MODULES disk 47 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are CRAZY, DEAD_COP, FLIGHT, GOTSWING, IWMC, JOLLYJOG, LSTNINJA, PUSHIT, RAINBOW, SQUARTET. Sets of maps for Xenomorph and Police Quest I, plus utilities to display and print them. SHEER AGONY by Logitron - An early preview of the game of the same name. Sheer Agony is a graphic adventure which unsurprisingly makes good use of the Falcon s True Colour mode. This demo sees you standing outside the Manor wondering what to do next You can explore the graveyard the pond or even the vast expanse in front of the Manor but you can t get in The three included locations are impressive to say the least and there s enough to do to give you the feel of the game. As for the full version well it s got 25 locations and a rather complicated plot to solve too Needs 4 Mb. Clip Art in GEM format . The subjects covered are many and varied and with 319 files on disk there s simply not enough space to list them MORPHING DEMO 2 by Martin Cubitt - More of those incredible morphing demos. This disk's offerings are a Buick logo turning into an Alpha Romeo logo, a man turning into a dog, a Ferrari logo turning into a Ford logo, a lion turning into a tiger and a man changing into someone else. You really must see these demos, they're great! THE INDEPENDENT JPEG GROUP S JPEG SOFTWARE V5 - The latest revision of the top compression method for storing True Colour pictures. It is supplied as a ZIP file and requires ST Zip on FALC.4351 to decompress. The entire package includes C source code executables and documentation on the JPEG file format. The archive decompresses to over 1200K in total. You are permitted to use these sources within your own commercial programs. WINLIB PRO v0.59 by Ken Hollis - A collection of Pure C sources for jazzing up program interfaces in much the same vein as Easy GEM. However WinLib Pro is not nearly as far developed as Easy GEM. Its features include a 3D interface various implementations are supported pop-up menus drop down menus menus within windows Multi-TOS compatibility improved text display keyboard shortcuts and hypertext style on-line Help. A demo is supplied so that you can try out some of the routines for yourself. The demo has its own built-in replacement Desktop from which you can open close and iconify windows. WinLib Pro is at an early stage of development and is a little unstable at the moment. C_SOURCE by Lee Wheeler - A collection of small routines written in Lattice C which can be used in your own programs. They range from reading joystick and mouse inputs to converting decimal to hex peeking and poking around and using IBM graphics style commands on your Atari. DEVPAC FALCON LIBRARY v6.0 by Johan Karlsson - A collection of often used sub-routines for Falcon programmers using HiSoft s Devpac 3. Supplied routines allow you to switch on or off the cache convert ST palette values to Falcon values find and return a Cookie play a MOD under interrupt draw a gourad shaded polygon in True Colour draw a horizontal line in eight bitplane mode release unused memory back to the OS set video registers set and save video mode unpack ICE packed files manage window events and much more besides. All source is well documented. CALEN_98 by John Godbey - A 1998 calendar for Papyrus users. Neatly laid out it runs from Nov 1997 to Dec 1998. You can of course edit the dates for later years. Please note that this file requires Papyrus 4.35 or newer. Use it as is or amend to suit. PAPYRUS FONTS by John Godbey - Early versions of Papyrus were supplied along with a CD containing 500 True Type fonts. The only problem was that no printed examples of the fonts were given. This collection of Papyrus documents allows you to print out examples of the fonts from the CD. It does not contain examples of all 500 fonts but does feature at least one example usually more from each font family. Obviously it is only of use if you already own Papyrus and the 500 Fonts CD. Please note this file requires Papyrus v4.35 or later. LED CLOCK v6.0 by Eric Hall - Displays a clock face and shows the seconds as they tick away. A digital display is shown in the center. The clock window is resizable. Only really useful in a multi-tasking environment where it goes to sleep when its window is not selected. GNU MAKEINFO - Many Unix-inspired applications and some programming manuals are supplied in TEX format. This converts them into user-friendly ST-Guide files. Not an easy program to use but well worth the effort. MDESK V0.60 by Magnus Kollberg - A virtual Desktop for MagiC users. It lets you move windows program windows directory windows it doesn t matter off the edge of the physical screen to make more space on the Desktop. Just move them back again when you need them. N.AES.RSC - English language RSC files for use with N.AES. There s also a sample N_AES.CNF file which is commented in English. S_TIDYUP by Swampdog - A useful utility which lets you shut down after a predetermined time force an invisible mouse pointer to re-appear turn off the flashing TOS cursor enable/disable screenwrap etc. Most useful under a multi-tasking OS. UKEX V4.5 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - Allows you to customise your keyboard layout. Most useful if you have a keyboard of a different nationality and want to use your usual keyboard layout. As well as merely designating which key activates which letter is activated by which key UKEX also allows extra characters to be accessed by using the SHIFT ALT SHIFT ALT and CAPSLOCK keys. AB040 V0.4 by Magnus Kollberg - A multi-purpose ACC for use with the Afterburner 040 accelerator board. It lets you switch on/off the data cache instruction cache and copy back cache. You can also play a predefined or randomly selected sample at boot up and get a read out of free RAM. Docs in ST-Guide FALC.4782 format. HCACHE V0.3 by Eric Hall - Switches on the cache on a Hades 040/060 machine. It also forces the cache to stay on when other programs try to disable it. MIXER V0.8 by Eric Hall - A mixing studio for Hades with a SoundBlaster card installed. Currently only Mic Line Master and CD volume/gain work but it s a start. Also runs on the Falcon but only input and master settings are active so it only really acts as a basic single line audio sampler. PNP V0.5 by Eric Hall - Allows PC ISA cards to be used on any TOS compatible computer with ISA ports designed for the Hades in particular . It locates and initiates up to three ISA cards. It does not install the cards it merely initiates them. You need driver software like MIXER to access the card s functions. SNDPATCH V0.6A by Eric Hall - Re-routes sound output from your programs to a SoundBlaster card installed in ISA slot 2. The only stipulation is that the card must be configured at base address 0x220 and PNP must be installed. Still at an early stage of development and problematical with some programs. Regrettably you need an 040/060 TOS clone Hades recommended with built-in ISA ports to use this software. IBM2AT41 - Converts files from v4.2 of the PC word processor Word Perfect into the format used by v4.1 of the Atari version of this program and vice versa. If your PC version of Word Perfect is newer than v4.2 you must output the files in v4.2 format. ICFS CPX V1.13 by John McLoud - A CPX for use with Xcontrol on FALC.4862 which gives you easy access to the customisable settings mainly connected with the size and positioning of the iconified windows for Dirk Haun s Iconify File Server on FALC.5169. MAGTOROM v1.3 by Uwe Seimet - One of the reasons MagiC crashes is because unlike TOS it is stored in RAM and errant programs can over-write parts of MagiC. This patch redirects any attempted over-writes of the MagiC code to the 68030 s PMMU and generates a bus error instead of pulling the system down. Runs on the TT and Falcon. REDRAW by Eric Hall - An ACC which when selected forces an entire redraw of the Desktop and all open windows. Most Useful on a multi-tasking OS performs the same purpose as Ease s Tidy Up function. SM195DRV V0.9 by Ralf Zimmerman - Driver which allows you to make full use of extended resolutions possible on the Atari SM195 large screen monitor with the Viking card installed. Apparently Atari s driver did not work with 68030 CPUs. Probably only of use to TT/PAK030 owners. STD_CONF - Default configuration files for use with Videlity and both RGB and VGA monitors. Optimal settings are included for most of the more common monitors. VDESK V0.99 by Jo Even Skarstein - Performs the same virtual Desktop functions as MDESK also on this disk but this version only runs if N.AES is installed. XHDI TOOL V1.0 by Robert Weir - Some useful tools for those using XHDI compatible hard disk drivers such as HDDriver and CBHD. It gives info on any selected device lets you eject or reject removable media lock/unlock devices park/unpark devices and reserve/free devices. A bit cryptic to use but it s a start. WINDOW COMMANDER UPDATE - A minor update to this program which handles the windowed dialogs of later MagiC versions correctly. It also incorporates support for John McLoud s STiC iconify server FALC.5779 . This is not a standalone package and must be used in conjunction with WINCOM on FALC.5546. ACCFOLDR V1.13 by Dave Murphy - Lets you load all your ACCs from a folder rather than the root directory of your boot drive. The folder must be on your boot drive but can have any name you wish and be nested if required. Unlike PANTHER this redirect utility does only redirects during boot up or res change and does not affect copying or other operations. TYCOON by Simon Rush - This is a game in which you drill for oil and try to build up a business empire for yourself. HI ROLLER by Donald Campbell - A game of dice, based on yahtzee. Full instructions on disk. PAIR OFF - A game of patience. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. GHOSTSCRIPT source - UN*X and MS-DOS C source for Free Software Foundation's Postscript emulator.Includes device drivers for EGA, VGA and SUN screens and Epson, Deskjet and BJ-10 printers but no executables or documentation, so not for beginners. VARIOUS DEMOS - A collection of four totally unconnected demos from several different coders. DRACULA - The first ST demo from a French coder known as Dracula. It is fairly simple, starting with a spinning wire frame Atari logo, progressing to a spinning three dimensional block. A voice yells at you, then an egg pops out of the box. JOSEPH'S HOLIDAY by Wacko Software - This demo was created with STOS and Kozmic and has two scrollers, chip music which can be changed using the function keys, and lots of colours cycling rapidly, which can make reading the scroller a problem! The last two demos are animations created with Lexicor's Chronos 3D. FLUTTERA - A butterfly which flutters around the screen with its shadow over the ground reflected by a wireframe lamp. LOWMORPH - A 3D wiremesh face forms out of a series of straight lines. Both animations show the power of this new force in ST graphic animation. ENCHANTED REALM - A traditional verb, noun text adventure. Can you save civilisation from the Dark Lord? PORK 1 - The Great Underground Sewer System. A good natured parody of Infocom's classic adventure Zork. Plenty of humour along the way. PORK 2 - Gizzard Of Showbiz. A sequel to Pork 1 and a parody of Infocom's Zork 2. This game features both lewd and tame modes so is not suitable for children. WWW ACCESS PACK - A growing suite of Shareware and Freeware programs (most of which have UK registration) by different authors which allows Atari users to access the world wide web. It runs in any resolution and is a full graphic browser, unlike Lynx. The official WWW package consists of STiK, CAB, CAB.OVL, AntMail, Telnet, IRC, Cache_Ed, Weather Forecast, Finger and a specially written setup program to install everything in the correct places on your hard drive and configured correctly for your own ISP. You'll need a hard drive and at least 1 Mb of memory to run this package. All are multi-tasking friendly and several of the component parts of this package can be running simultaneously under such a system. They also run reliably under single TOS. Here's a description of what's what. STiK v1.12 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Dan Ackerman) - Consists of an Auto folder patch and ACC and provides the necessary network layer through which everything else works. It dials up your ISP, logs you on and returns control to the system so that you can run the appropriate clients. Currently STiK (and therefore this entire package) only works if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supports the SLIP protocol. PPP is not yet supported. COOL ATARI BROWSER v1.5 by Alexander Clauss (a modified version of HTML Browser on COM.5183) is your Netscape clone which allows you to surf the Web. It is now fully compliant with all HTML 2 commands and many from the emerging HTML 3 standard. In its current form it offers most of the functionality of Netscape but without the memory overhead! You can access, cache and display the URLs either on-line of off- line and support for JPEG images (as used by some sites on the Web) is also included. Pages are cached to your hard drive and accessed from the hard drive the next time you need them to save on-line time, only downloading un- cached pages. Obviously you can also read pages off-line. CAB can be configured for English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Italian or German. CAB.OVL v1.2904 by Tim Newsome (now maintained by Dan Ackerman) - This provides the on-line support for CAB. It invisibly links CAB into STiK to allow URLs to be accessed 'live' rather than merely loaded from disk. IRC v0.90 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Lonny Pursell) - Allows you to participate in Internet Relay Chat (IRC). IRC is essentially a way of having live 'chats' with lots of other computer users on-line. Everything happens in real time and you can be 'talking' to several other users from all over the world simultaneously! This latest version is GEM based and multi-tasking friendly. TELNET V1.0 by Jim Baumgardner - A Telnet client for use with STiK. Telnet allows you to log on to a computer on the Internet in a similar fashion to using a standard terminal emulator (such as Connect) to connect to a BBS and lets you wander around the system's directories as if it were directly connected to your own machine. This lets you effectively cross hardware platforms, like using a virtual machine! FINGER V1.30 by Lonny Pursell - A 'finger' client for use with STiK. It allows you to obtain information about email addresses. Some servers give little information to the finger client, others give masses! Useful for finding someone's email address, getting a list of all users who match a certain specification or even to check if you have mail waiting for you. STiK WEATHER FORECAST v0.3 by Jim Baumgardner and Dan Ackerman - When used in conjunction with STiK it gives the temperature, barometer, wind speed and humidity (displayed both graphically and as text) for any major US city. It even remembers the city you last requested data for, and uses it as your default setting. Interestingly, the authors are working on a system which will extend coverage to the rest of the world. ANTMAIL V0.79 by Dan Ackerman - A POP3 mail client for use with STiK. Translated into plain English, it's an easy to use program which manages your email for you. It supports multiple users, so several people using the same account. For example, the_dog@abcd.atari.com, the_cat@abcd.atari.com and the_budgie@abcd.atari.com will all have separate mailboxes when using Antmail and incoming mail will be directed to the correct mailbox. It uses SMTP to send mail and POP3 to retreive it. More systems are converting to POP3, this could be a major feature. The main benefit of POP3 is that you 'ask' for your mail when you want to download it, rather than have it 'thrown' at you as soon as you log on (expensive at peak calling times!). Antmail allows messages to be written on-line (whiles away the time when you're in the middle of a big download!) or offline (saves on the 'phone bill the rest of the time!). Please not that Antmail won't work unless your ISP supports the POP3 protocol (most do). WWW INSTALLER V1.00 by Manfred Ssykor - An easy to use program which installs everything in the right place on your hard drive. An especially useful feature is its ability to update individual programs in the pack without having to perform a full reinstallation. Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are ALKALI CHRUSHIN COUGAR_3 LETSGO8 ZOOLOOK BANJO DEFJAM GERMAN INYFACE RADAR2 WAVEFORM. ATARIPHILE ISSUE 1 by the FFF - Yes the Falcon FacTT File have undergone yet another transformation. As suggested by the name, they were originally a Falcon only organisation, then they opened their doors to TT and PAK 030 owners. Well, now the transformation is complete and they are accepting membership applications from ALL Atari users (and membership's still free!). This is the first issue of their bi-monthly disk mag which covers all aspects (but with the emphasis on 'serious' computing rather than games) of using your Atari computer. It is presented in HTML language (as used on the WWW) and is supplied with the CAB HTML broswer. Use of this format allows it to run on any medium or high res ST screen and supports the use of logos, screenshots and even photographs within its pages. It is well thought out and includes reviews of four CDs (All Things Falcon, Delta CD, Background CD and The Atari Compendium On CD), Geneva 004, MagiC 4, BlowUp FX and a book review (Using HTML). Although the reviews are biased towards the Falcon owner, this is just issue 1 and there's plenty for the ST owner too. An extensive news section looks at the latest System Solutions news, the closure of Atari World and Compo UK and lots more. One of the more professional disk mags both in presentation and content. Just what you need to overcome those Atari World blues! Needs 1 Mb. Arcshell v2.5 - GEM program to drive ARC.TTP, the archive/unarchive utility. Also duplicates most Desktop disk & file handling facilities. Cold Hard Cache v4.0 - Caches (reads only) on hard drives and floppies for increased performance.

STE_Boot - Alters your Desktop.inf file to work correctly on STEs bought before Christmas 1990. LH Arc V1.13c - A minor upgrade of the popular file compressor on UTL.280. This version has over 60k of documentation. AB Format - Formats both drives at the same time! You can even use different formats on each drive. Font Master v2.0 - Well featured GEM font editor, with bezier curve tool. Includes non GDOS printer driver (Epson 9-pin only) for sample output. The ASCII text output facility gives a better quality output than the Atari GDOS Epson driver. Some fonts are included. High rez only. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 1 - Contains the following fonts - ARNOLD BR KLIN ADAGIO ALGEGR ALLEGRO AMERIGO AMERIGO ITALIC AMI ANTIKVA ANTIKVA BOLD ARKITEKT ATLAS BAILEY BALLONG BALLONG BOLD BAM BAM BAUMANN BAUMANN BOLD BEATNIK BEDFORD BENGAL BENGAL BOLD BERNIE TANGO BISCAYA BODONI POSTER BOOKIE BOOKIE ITALIC BOOKIE BOLD BOOKIE BOLD ITALIC BOOKEND. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3. Fonts are FILLIT, FLORA-NO, FLORACN1, FLORACN2, FLORACN3, FLORACND, FOREST, FOULTON. ST NEWS 10.2 - As 1995 closes, Richard Karsmakers returns with his 40th issue of ST News. This issue's contents include the definitive disk mag roundup (150 of them!), interviews with Dave Mooney and Jens Johansson, an article on the Secrets of NeoDesk 4, adventure solutions to Elvira II, Hugo III, Mask Of The Sun and more, part 2 of fiction novel The Bloodless Coup, reviews of Crystal Atari Browser, Double Bubble 2000, Speed of Light 3.8 and a number of concerts, videos, CDs, films and books and the definitive Falcon compatibility list (almost 1000 items listed!). There is of course lots of news, a special dedication feature and and plenty more that we don't have space to mention here. As good a read as ever. MAGGIE 22 - The first issue of 1997 and it's as action packed as ever. The news section has an in-depth report on the Phenix, the relaunch of the FOG diskzine, soon to be released Jaguar games, new Falcon demos, Falcon upgrade boards from France, a new Chess game for the Falcon, two Falcon adventure games and a Falcon shoot 'em up, a new line of MIDI software from the Resevoir Gods and the SILIconvention.

Demos reviewed include Joint Venture, Scarface, Gloop, Firestarter, Xtasie, Air Dirt, Intercon Intros (all Falcon) and Insomnia Demo, Confusion Intro (both ST). Serious reviews are of Videlity, WebSpace, DBE Tracker, MagiC 5 for PC and the Atari Calculator! Interviews are with Arto, David Encil, Dave Hollis, Richard Karsmakers, Data of Trio, Crac and Nolan Bushnell! There's also two Show reports from the Autumn 1996 Atari Shows, lots of fun in the Silly Department, the Maggie Awards 1996 and whole lot more which would take another page or two just to list! Something for all Atari owners and well worth a read. California Girls by the Denise Team . Spectacular special effects. Needs 1 Meg ram and. Not STE. THE CRASH IN HELL TRACKMO by Abstract - Starts off with a short intro which consists of several 3D wireframe and sinus-dot patterns. This then exits to the main demo. Various 3D objects (formed from small coloured balls) are then flown rapidly across the screen. After the balls we move onto the shooting stars which create patterns in their wake. These are followed by perhaps one of the best examples of shaded bobs on the ST. There are several more screens with 3D objects, a giant scroller and a few good graphic screens. The whole demo is accompanied by great music. If you have a 1 Meg STE, the music is in stereo! Falcon compatible too! Soundtracker files with player program . Files are ENOLAGAY FORCEFLD GOODBYE MEGMIX88 2NDSIGHT FOCUS GROOVE JOURNEY GALAXY ATMOSPHR. WILDLIFE PICTURES - A collection of top quality images of wild animals.

Things can only get better from here and they do There s a 3D light sourced cube rotating on a static background followed by a tunnel effect generated from a raytraced image. The now popular burning embers effect is put to good use and there s a Sanity type 3D zoomer which flies in and out of a scrolltext on a plasma type background. Finally there s a couple of texture mapping effects onto a 3D rotating cube. Ending as it began there s the long convoluted Windows 95 shut down sequence only it s faster on a Falcon VGA or RGB although I couldn t make it sync on my RGB . Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. 96K INTROS - Two short demos squeezed into 96K or less released at the Place To Be 4 Demo Party.

Files are KIDSDOG2, PITY, REINDEER, ROKHORSE, SOLDIERS, TABLE, THE_POOR, TREE_BOY,TURKLETR HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS v2.3 by David Sykes - A rather unusual collection of programs which are all related to holidays abroad. Lets assume money is not an issue and you have no idea as to where you wish to take this year's holiday. You will be asked a number of questions relating to exactly what you want out of an overseas holiday and several matching destinations (chosen from 182 countries) will be listed in order of relevance. DISTANCE - Gives the distance (in miles) between two capital cities. You can also choose to display the aproximate flying time, time zone difference and current (1997) return air fare. Unfortunately, not all capital cities are listed and there is no easy way to update the air fare data. QUIZ - A general knowledge quiz for two players. You get five seconds to hit your "buzzer". You get 10 points for a correct answer or lose 10 points and a life for a wrong answer. If neither player buzzes, you both lose a life. Lose all five and the game's over. Soundtracker files with player program. Files are AFRICA COLORIS FRAXX7 FUNKPOWA PATYGA PERHAPS PIPES SZTOA KEJUK4 LISBON MADONNA PIGS RAVEN SPACESCR SPOOKY. STRATAGEM - A two player strategy game where the idea is to destroy units and cities owned by your opponent. Units are warships, planes or vehicles of some type. You must explore the terrain and conquer cities to produce more units. Eventually you will be forced to meet your opponent in battle. Also included are two utility programs for use with Stratagem. Mapper allows you to create maps for use within the program from either Neochrome or Degas pictures and Typedit lets you change the properties of the units used. This is a complex game but plenty of instructions are given on the disk, definitely one for those heavily into strategically based games. Needs 1 Meg. CHAGALL v1.0 by Trade It - This looks like an excellent drawing package. It has lots of powerful tools and special effects and runs in any interlaced double line off on VGA resolution. This version only seems to display GIFs correctly in true colour mode. It also loads TIFF ESM IMG PAC PIC PI3 and IFF formats. Unfortunately both the program and docs are in German. Most functions operate with the exeption of saving. D2M v2.50 by PARX Software - An art package which runs in any resolution. It loads and saves almost any file format using Parx s M E modules. Most things work with the exception of saving. It supports Speedo GDOS and is Multi-TOS friendly. It looks like a very capable package and is now in English. PHOTO STUDIO by Eurosoft - A highly proficient photo retouching program. It can load pictures in SEF TIFF GIF TGA PCX IFF Degas NEO JPEG and Photo CD formats. It runs in any resolution and converts the selected image to suit. It has countless image processing tools as well as RGB adjustment grey scale conversion and much more. Unfortunately the program is in French. The only restriction on this version is the inability to save. All three art packages on this disk are GEM based and fully Multi-TOS compatible. THUVIA, MAID OF MARS and TARZAN OF THE APES by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Two more out of copyright texts for your collection. 48 FONTS FOR USE WITH CALAMUS DTP - Fonts are BALLOON BALLO_IT BLKCHANC BODIDLY BUBBLE__ CAVEMAN CLASHVY CLASITAL ELWOOD__ HAMBURG_ KABELDEM LOG MACSYS3I MACSYS3X MATRIX9 MATRIX9C MATRIX9I MDESIGN1 MDESIGN2 MDESIGN3 MDESIGN4 MDESIGN5 MDESIGN6 MDESIGN7 MDESIGN8 MENPHIS1 MENPHIS2 MENPHIS3 MENPHIS4 MODPRTBD MODULAR NEWJAZZ1 NEWJAZZ2 NEWJAZZ3 NEWJAZZ4 NEWJAZZ5 NEWJAZZ6 NEWJAZZ7 NEWJAZZ8 NORM_A OSWALD__ PERS NL2 SKYLINE SLANT__ TEMPOIT THOMAS__ ZIBI ZIBI__IT.

Shadows and reflections follow the pen s movements. CYRUSHIP - Another massive animation of over 200 frames The lights come on and illuminate a futuristic spacecraft. It proceeds to take off turn around and fire its rocket boosters before making an exit through a cargo door. Excellent light sourced reflections make this an excellent demo. Cyruship needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. If you intend loading it into an animation package you ll need more than 4 Meg A player program is supplied. ST OBERON V2.05 by Stephan Junker - Oberon was developed between 1985 and 1987 by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht. It is used mainly for teaching purposes and is similar in concept to C, also drawing influences from Modula 2. Like C it is a highly portable language with versions existing for almost all computer platforms. This version is an adaptation of Oberon 2 and runs on any Atari but has the ability to generate 030 and FPU native code where required. It also features an integrated assembler for added speed. Includes extensive documentation (in English) on the Atari implementation of Oberon along with details of the standards agreed for Oberon compilers at a developers' conference. Dirk Haun's programming shell Chatwin is recommended (but not included) for use with Oberon but an alternative (PShell) is included for those who are short of memory or do not have Chatwin. Shareware with registered users getting the library source files, a debugger and other extras. This is a major upgrade of Oberon on LAN.4175. ART TUTOR by Castlesoft - This program used to be commercial but has been re-released as Shareware. It tries to teach you how to draw using simple examples like drawing faces, bodies etc; with step by step examples, aided by helpful text info. Other examples include basic design, colour theory and it encourages working to a brief and organising your ideas properly. It makes extensive use of examples to show you the whole process and the final results can be quite impressive. The program is menu driven, making it easy to use. A simple art program is supplied to try out the tutorials. All in all, a helpful program for those budding artists requiring professional guidance. THE ADMIRABLES GREAT FONT COLLECTION #2 . A collection of 22 fonts from ST demos saved out as Degas PI1 pictures for use within your own games or demos. STOSSER Issue 23 March 95 - This is the last monthly edition of STOSSER. The disk mag will continue but due to the editor's increased workload, future issues will be released as and when they are completed. Anyway onto the contents and what's in store this month. There's a short tutorial on how to use First Word Plus, part 3 of the STE tutorial and part 8 of the EXTRA tutorial. In an article entitled "Computers and Joe Public", Steve Reah recounts some of his stories from behind the counter of a Sunderland computer shop, The Dark Days looks at the last 20 years of home computing and Colin reviews Warp, the latest diskmag to hit the scene. The Thug reviews the HP 500C colour printer and there's news of a hot new paper based magazine. All the regular slots are present with Competitions, Contax, Bits 'n' Bats, the A-Z, Telegraph Pole, Adverts, Questionnaires and the latest PD News. What's more, there's the usual plethora of freebies in the Giveaways folder. DUNGEONZ - Collect gems within a time limit, as you guide Bertie the bouncing bomb around the Dungeons of Zorkrath. When all the gems are collected you make your way to the exit and advance a level. STU'S POOL - A pool simulation for one or two players, play using the mouse or keyboard. Contains some sampled speech. WHEEL 3.0 - Another Wheel Of Fortune game. This one is for two players and includes its own editor. GRAV - A rotate and thrust type game, very similar to Oids. Follow the mission briefings to complete each level, there are 11 levels in all. SOLITAIRE - Computer version of the popular board game. The aim is to clear the board of marbles by jumping one marble over another. A board designer is included. SDI - A Cyber Studio animation, complete with sound. It shows the Space Shuttle launching a satellite equipped with ICBMs. The Russians accidentally launch a missile at Denver. It is intercepted and destroyed by an ICBM in mid flight. Needs 1 Meg. JUNIOR OFFICE V3.04 by TKR Software GmbH - This is a cut down version of the fax module from Tele Office and has been released as Shareware. Junior Office is a well featured program capable of creating faxes from ASCII text and IMG graphics and sending/receiving them using a Class 1 or 2 fax modem. In addition you can dial Fax-U-Back services auto receive incoming faxes when working in another application and maintain a name and address box of fax numbers to make it even easier to fax commonly used numbers. Either the entire package or the send/receive module can be run as an ACC if desired. It is undoubtedly the most polished of all fax software for the Atari with everything being easily configured from menus and icons. In fact you d be surprised at just how simple it is to use. This version only imports ASCII text but the registered version includes drivers for many different applications so that fax files can be generated directly from your favourite word processor or DTP package. In addition the registered version has a number of bells and whistles not included here. Please note that Junior Office is NOT compatible with Freedom and will seize up if Freedom is installed. Also you need Speedo GDOS and an appropriate printer driver installed if you want to print out faxes. Needs to be run from hard drive. Very highly recommended. S3-ST V2.30 by Keith Baines - Lets you transfer files between an Atari computer and a Psion Series 3 or 3A personal organiser. As well as being able to copy files between the two machines you can view files on either machine using your Atari screen print files from either machine to a printer connected to the Atari and delete files or create folders on either machine. This software provides a graphical interface similar to the GEM Desktop from which you carry out all operations. Another program allows you to use your Psion databases directly on the Falcon or export data to the GEM Clipboard for import into your word processor. This package includes all the software and documentation you need to get the two computers talking to each other. All you will need to buy is the Psion 3-Link PC version to physically connect the machines. SUPERCARD 3.13 by Chris Beale - Supercard is a computerised card index type program. It gives you the standard features of a normal database program but without the restrictions on the type or amount of data or length of fields. In fact you don t need to create fields at all since these are created internally by the program if and when required. This latest version is much faster allows up to 60 macros to be defined up to 32K of data can be imported it has a switchable sort feature and improved security protection lines can be justified verify Save is switchable protected files can be deprotected once in memory and there s lots more. There s a restriction on the number of records which can be entered and an annoying sulk mode in this version. Register for a modest Shareware fee to get rid of both PARAFIN V1.37 - A file locator which runs in the background as a PRG under Multi-TOS or an ACC under single TOS. Put simply it lets you perform the search whilst continuing work within another GEM based program. You can iconify its window or even top another without affecting the search. Various search options can be specified. It can search recursive directories include hidden files in the search look for only files which match certain specified attributes and much more. When run as a PRG you can even launch programs directly from its window Presentation - Stereo sound and graphics in 4096 colours promoting the STE by Atari France. There are three sub-demos. Press Space to advance to the next sub-demo. STE ONLY. THE REFLEX DEMO by Opposition - Features 3 sub-demos. The first allows you to select from 8 tunes, the second features a massive barrel scroller and the third is a tribute to Mad Max which features 10 tunes by the living legend! CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT (WW2 FOOD & GARDENS). Scanned at 400 dpi for use in DTP. Files are MIN_FOOD, NEW_FISH, ONION, POTATOES,PRESENTS, PRESERVE, RADIO_1, TIBS, PEEKES & POKES MUSIC DISK 2 - Features 6 pieces of originally composed music, each with an accompanying picture. The graphics are great but the music is incredible! Although this demo runs on any ST, you get fantastic stereo on the STE. ST DESIGNER - A very good mono art package, which is iconised and therefore easy to use. English translation by Bob Macleod. Comprehensive toolset including bezier curves. Uses non-standard text fonts but an editor is included. Reads and writes Degas .PI3 files. Supports 9-pin, 24-pin and laser printers. Needs 1 Meg. Picture converters and viewers. METAVIEW - Allows the viewing of GEM metafiles (.GEM files) in a standard GEM window. Includes numerous features. SPU2SPC - Converts Spectrum 512 uncompressed pictures into compressed format. MGIF v5.0 by Johan Klockars - A major upgrade on what used to be a GIF viewer program for mono monitors. Nowadays it's a fully fledged image processing package! Perhaps what made it popular in the past was its ability to give the appearance of true greyscale display on a mere monochrome monitor. This has of course been retained. MGIF now runs in any resolution right up to True Colour and preserves the colour depth of your image, regardless of current screen resolution. It allows processing on single colour channels or the combined RGB structure as a whole. MGIF supports the loading of GIF, TGA, PPM, PI1, PI2, AIM and (X)IMG formats in addition to its own custom format. It saves in GIF, TGA, PPM, (X)IMG and its own file formats. A number of useful filters such as blur, median, dilation, erosion and pixelise are supported as well as the ability to brighten and contrast your image. Other useful features such as re-sizing and mirroring are also supported. Includes a fair amount of documentation in ST-Guide (not included) format. THE MOST WANTED by Scarface - The first demo by a new crew and their entry to the Place To Be 4 demo competition. After a couple of intro screens you get a solid 3D light sourced spacecraft flying around a moving starfield. There s quite a lot of of phong shaded 3D objects all of which are excellent and an example of real-time texture mapping where the texture changes constantly. Some of the plasma effects are impressive as is the real-time zoomer which runs across a multi-screen image. Good music graphics and effects. Well worth adding to your collection. Must be run on a completely clean machine or it locks up. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive RGB ONLY. Sozobon C - Another fully functioning C compiler, perhaps the best. It is based on the Alcyon C compiler. Includes over 150K of documentation on disk. Includes DLibs v1.2. SUPER PACKET ST v6.10.11 - This package must be one of the most advanced pieces of Amateur Radio software around. Super (Eskay) Packet supports the IBM character set and has a screen display split in three for text sent, text received and 'traced' packets. You need a TNC with 'The Firmware' installed, or a TNC in Kiss Mode and the TFPCR.PRG shell installed, for the program to work. There is an extensive 120k manual archived on disk. There is also a PMS and Node function and you can install new commands into your PMS. You can autoroute to different stations and also up/download software to and from other SP stations. On the accompanying disk there are extra programs which can be installed as commands on your system. Also included is the TFPCR Firmware emulator by . Super Packet is highly recommended to any serious Packet user, especially on the busier frequencies. The PC version is a commercial package but the ST version remains freeware! Needs 1 Meg. ATARI SIRDS by Christian Perle - Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) are those 3D pictures that nobody can ever focus in on! This two disk set comprises of several GFA Basic programs which let you create your own from any standard uncompressed TGA image. The output files from POV Raytrace are ideal for the purpose and several example POV scripts are included along with a handful of pre-rendered images. Two versions of the program are included, one for making monochrome SIRDS, the other for creating True Colour ones. The colour program allows you to specify the number of colours to be used, but output is always in 24-bit True Colour, so you'll need to use GEM-View to reduce it to the number of colours you specified in the program. Similar to SIRDS are SIS (Single Image Stereograms where the dot patterns are fixed rather than random) and the author has included a program for making these too, as well as an example SIS image. This is an excellent package for anyone wanting to create their own stereograms. Needs GFA Basic v3.xx (not included) and 1 Mb (more for larger images). HIGH FIDELITY DREAMS by Auru - Choose from eight tunes on the main menu. All are digitised (possibly tracker tunes) and of an incredibly high standard. The pices of music featured are Act Of Impulse, Chinese Dream, Elysium, Enigma, Just Spank It, Macrocosm, Overload and The Sweat Shop. All appear to be original compositions. 24-PIN PRINTER DRIVERS and 360 dpi fonts for TeX (LAN.34 - LAN.39). Printers covered include NEC P6/7, Epson LQ850/1050, Star NB24/10, OKI 390 and compatibles. THE BEE FOROL DEMO by Sector One - A collection of 11 sub demos (2 are STE only) and a fully playable game. In fact one of the sub demos is a collection of small demos, each done in 20 lines of GFA Basic! The majority of demos are of an amazingly high standard and these two disks are well worth adding to your collection. This is a two disk set and both disks are required for the demo to run. The Intro drags on for about ten minutes but is worth watching once. Remember what the BIG Demo did with bombs, well this one follows a similar vein with the bee! Press the CONTROL key while BEEFOROL.PRG is loading to skip the intro. You need both disks for this demo to work correctly. The Fish 'N Chips Demo by Sewer Software . A collection of twelve sub demos. I wouldn't like to be the fisherman! Get this demo and you'll know what I mean. BEYOND by Kruz - A truly great offering from Finland which consists of 5 sub demos and a reset demo. The main menu involves steering a solid 3D spacecraft from one demo to the next. If coordination is not your strong point, press HELP for an easier main menu! Calamus Support Disk 1 . Mostly Calamus CDK document files. Templates for labels, keyboard template, envelopes etc. In addition there are text files on the Calamus Font Resource Guide, a list of all compugraphic fonts now available and an on-line conference on Calamus and associated products. As well as templates, some CDKs are advertising new PD/Shareware fonts. Many of the files on disk require some of the PD fonts in our collection although you can subsitute them for other fonts. This disk was compiled from the Genie BBS in The States. PHOTOSHOW STE - A slideshow of photographic images created using the package of the same name. You'll be surprised at just how professional the results can be on an ordinary STE! The demo also runs on the STFM but is less impressive on that machine. Needs 1 Mb. ROAD RUNNER V1.0 by Andreas Schrell - A sort of German version of Route Finder. In other words, a route planner for Germany. Road Runner lists 7700 places and calculates appropriate routes from A to B according to your specifications. This demo does not allow you to print or save the results and has a few other limitations. Well worth checking out if you're planning to tour Germany this summer, especially since the full version is very reasonably priced. Obviously the program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. LED v1.40 by Stephen Slabihoud - Originally developed as an off- line message editor for BinkleyTerm (COM.5268) but fully compatible with any BBS connected to the FidoNet network. It allows you to read your email and reply to it, but you will still need some sort of mailer software such as IOSMail, JetMail or Semper in order to retrieve your mail in the first place. LED tends to be the 'standard' offline reader for those who are set up as points on the FidoNet network, although it is perfectly usable for all BBS users. Includes a useful utility which lets create your own printer driver which maps unprintable screen characters onto others which can be understood by the printer. Well documented in ASCII and ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format in both English and German. This is a major upgrade of the program which used to be on COM.5268. TeX On The ST . This is a typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. Clip Art COMIC FLOWERS TOOLS VEGIES FAIRYTALES PLACES ANIMALS .

Four games created with The Adventure Game Toolkit (AGT). LOTTERY - After falling asleep in front of your computer, you wake up in a dark alley surrounded by people and places of ill repute. An adult adventure follows. PHIL - Help Phillip fight against the forces of creation in this well constructed adventure with a Dungeons and Dragons theme. Warning - there's some bad language in this game. MOLD 1 - You emerge from a deep sleep capsule in the early 22nd century to find that much has changed. UNDERGND - It is the year 2093 and you must explore radiation filled areas of what used to be Washington DC. LAME THING by TNB - A short intro created at the Fried Bits II demo party in 1994. It features a circular scroller made up from coloured lights . The two effects in this demo are shaded bobs and a snow scene. Good background music plays throughout. Lame Thing runs on RGB or VGA monitors and needs 4 Meg. FIRE by Moving Pixels - A short demo of a fire raging. It says its a screen saver but I have my doubts Exit by pressing Q. Fire runs on VGA or RGB. MOSTLY HARMLESS by MJJ Prod - The main demo on the disk. It starts off with some black and white graphics and text but don t be put off. Once it gets started this is one of the best Falcon demos around Effects include two types of fast moving 3D tunnels an optical illusion using a pattern of squares a rubber bouncing globe zoomed and distorted raytraced pictures a light sourced sphere multi-coloured 3D wave effect and the French flag blowing in the wind to name just a few. Even the greetings are cleverly faded in and out on a moving background Well worth adding to your collection. Mostly Harmless runs from any NON-INTERLACED mode. Needs 4 Meg RGB ONLY. ALGORITHMIC MUSICAL INSTRUMENT - Composes 4 part harmonies from a list of 16 "candidate" notes selected by the user. Various styles can be achieved by judicious use of candidate notes and tempo. MIDI output only. LOCAL CONTROL - A desk accessory (which can also be run as a program) which allows access to "Local Off" on a MIDI keyboard. Especially useful if your sequencer does not have the option to turn "MIDI thru" off, or your keyboard does not have a "Local Off" button, eg; Casio CZ series and Yamaha DX-7. MIDI MUSIC MAKER v2.26 - "World's most comprehensive music file player". This claim may well be true as it allows playback of 13 file types from different computers eg; ST, Commodore 64/128, 8-bit Atari, Colour Computer (never heard of this one) and PC. Can also create Standard MIDI file format 0 and 1, so for example a Music Studio file can be loaded, converted to a .MID file, saved, and re-loaded into a sequencer. THE PANIC BUTTON - If your GEM sequencer does not have a panic button when stuck notes occur, this useful desk accessory sends an "all notes off" message to all 16 MIDI channels. KAWAI SPECTRA EDITOR/BANK MANAGER by Joost Overmars - An editor/librarian for this synthesiser. Also includes a simple sequencer. Docs are in both English and Dutch. VOICESEL - A MIDI voice selector accessory which enables any voice from 1-128 to be sent to any MIDI channel (1-16) on the synth. Also includes MIDI thru on/off buttons. Kawai Spectra editor is mono only. All other programs run in colour or mono. MAGGIE BEST OF ISSUES 1 TO 11 - Just when you were eagerly awaiting issue 25, we've unearthed a bumper compilation from the archives! This issue comprises of a collection of the best articlespublished in issues 1 to 11 of the diskzine, the first ten issues having been produced before the current team took over. Classic interviews with Ripped Off, The Overlanders, The Hemeroids, Delta Force, The ST News Team, TPPI, Whee The Fibble, The Replicants and The Carebears. Classic ST games reviews are of Sim City, Midwinter 2, North & South, Goblins, Turrican, Monster Business, Llamatron, Cruise For A Corpse, Rainbow Islands, Shinobi, Mega-Lo-Mania, Magic Pockets, Silent Service, Silkworm, F29 Retaliator, A Prehistoric Tale and Final Whistle. Classic ST demo reviews are of Mindbomb, Life's A Bitch, Ooh Crickey, European Demos, Things Not To Do, Punish Your Machine, Just Buggin', Overdose, Cunning Demos, Inner Circle, Awakening Of Gods, Scoopex, Imagina and Mdemo 3. Other products reviewed include Video Master, Mastersound 2, Ice Depacker, Audio Sculpture, Automation Packer and TCB Tracker. Featured articles include pre-release speculation about the Falcon, the history of Delta Force, reports from UK and German computer Shows around 1990/91, reports from various coding conventions, lots of wierd stories and a few humorous pieces. Much of the material in this issue has of course been predated but with 100 articles to read, if you're not into nostalgia, you may still find this issue invaluable when deciding which second hand titles to buy! Besides, there's some real classic articles in there which defy classification! Clip Art (FACES) in IMG format. Files are AAAA2, ARROL, BENBAKER, BRUNEL, CAVELL, CEASER, CHURCHIL, DARWIN, DICKENS, FAIRBAIR, HAWKSHAW, HEADING, JOSEPHIN, LINCOLN, NAPOLIA2, NAPOLIA3, NAPOLIAN, QUEENVI2, QUEENVIC, ROMMEL, STEPHSON. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are BELINDA, CRHAMMER, FRED, LANIGHT, LOAD_DIA, OXYGENE4, POP, SEPTEMBR, SILLY, SNOWBLND. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. F2C - FORTRAN TO C CONVERTER - The Atari version of a utility developed by AT&T Bell Labs and Bellcore (serious computer research people - IQ of 180 required to be a teaboy!). Comes with libraries for the ST and TT, but assumes you know your way around Fortran and have the Gnu C compiler. Requires a hard disk and 2MB RAM minimum, so not for the casual hacker. This program is the followup to DKB Raytrace by David Buck . The first version of POV Ray Trace appeared on the PC. The Amiga, Mac and Falcon soon followed. This two disk set comprises of the ST version. The files have all been compressed using Vincent Pomey's ST Zip v2.2 and will have to be decompressed to several blank disks (or preferrably a hard drive) before use. ST Zip is easy to use but I've included the docs anyway so you should have no problems.POV Ray Trace must be run from a CLI. A sample startup file for Gemini's Mupfel is included (TRACE.MUP). If you have Mupfel, simply type TRACE filename.ext. If not, it should be easily enough adapted for use with other CLIs. You can set the screen dimensions in TRACE.MUP to suit. If you're like me and hate CLIs, you can use POVSHELL by Binaris (on the other disk). It lets you control POV from a GEM based interface. The only problem is that it supports some extra functions only available on later versions of POV. I'm trying to track down a later version of POV at the moment, which has all these extra features. CLIPIT VOLS 5 6 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format. Files are GARDEN05 G_BUSH HAMISH HAMMER HEAD02 HEAD03 HEADO1 HEART01 HELP HELP01 HOLID01 HOLID02 HOLID03 HOLLAND HORSE HOSP01 HOUSE01 JAIL KIDS01 LEISURE LION MAN01 MAN02 MAN03 MAN04 MAN05 MERC MONEY MOON01 MUM01 NOTICE OFFICE01 OFFICE02 OWL PAINTER PAPEROLL PARACHUT PLANE01 POUND. HERO 2 by Tony Greenwood - The followup to the classic game on GAM.5279C. Like the original, HERO 2 is a platformer in which you must rescue a number of individuals from a sealed complex which is on a self-destruct mechanism. The storyline is different but the aim is the same. You must navigate the various levels without the aid of a map or on-board computer. Looked doors will block your passage, some need to be blown up, others opened by a security key. You must enter rooms and collect objects in an attempt to find a radiation suit, locate a survivor and give him the suit. You must then exit the level and progress to the next. There are various hazards to avoid, such as dripping acid and unfriendly droids amongst other things. The first level is really just a trainer, after that it really gets tough! HERO 2 is jam packed with sampled music (impresive if you've got stereo speakers), sampled speech and jazzed up graphics, resulting in a major improvement over the already popular HERO 1. Needs 4 Mb, STE or Falcon only. Juggling Lamps by John Lasseter using the Imagic Image Processing System . It featues two digitised table lamps, one of which is bouncing on a ball. Needs 1 Meg. SIDSOUND DESIGNER V3.5 by Animal Mine - Create your own music with this Soundtracker type program. It lets you import samples in SPL or AVR format and create your songs in a similar manner to Soundtracker programs. In fact there's even a conversion program to convert MOD files into SIDSOUND format. The resultant music is chip rather than sample based. It's difficult to tell if it lets you compose SID chip music as on the Commodore 64 or if the name is purely coincidental. There are docs but they say very little, though the program will be easy to use if you have previously composed music using Soundtracker programs. Lots of sound samples and example songs are included on disk. STOS BITS Issue 1 - Another new disk magazine, but this one is different from all the rest, in that it is solely for STOS Basic users! The sheer amount of routines, help and on disk source is amazing. There is everything you may need to make a great STOS demo, including circular scrollers, vector graphics, spot lights, star fields, a complete platform game development system and much more! There are also reviews of Castle Master, Cadaver, Dizzy Lizzy and a batch of PD games/demos. The 'Tired' article and the DIY jacuzzi are good, too.

ECSTASY (no its not a addictive demo!) by ICE - The demo starts off with a solid 3D spacecraft on a moving chequered background. It then proceeds to a number of shaded bobs screens, then you fly through a solid 3D world. A number of other effects with solid and wireframe 3D objects and dot patterns concludes this demo. An excellent soundtrack plays throughout. ECSTASY 2 by ICE - This demo is very much like the first one, except that the music is more ravey and there are more vectors, wire frame graphics and other effects like solid 3D shapes rotating inside other solid 3D shapes. Ecstasy 2 has a scroller which Ecstasy 1 lacks, the scroller does however, have some swearing at the start. Both demos need 1 Meg. STE ONLY. BASE64 DECODER V0.9 by Jeremy Gillet - More and more files sent by PC users across the Internet in email messages use Base64 encoding in preference to uuencoding. The problem is that Atari users can't decode the damned things! Well we can now, thanks to this useful program. It will decode any Base64 encoded file back to its original (ZIP, ZOO, LZH etc) format. UNCLE HYPE V1.0 - The complete documentation to all 32 of 'Uncle' Carl Hafner's ST utilities in ST-Guide format. You will of course need ST- Guide (on UTL.5557) in order to read them.

It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. DA'S VEKTOR - A very powerful vector graphics editor. It allows you to autotrace bitmapped graphics, work on your vector graphic in layers and create animations with vector graphics. DA's Vektor supports both mono and colour vector graphics and runs under Multi-TOS. Fully functional except that you cannot save your work.

MEMONKEY - Watch a monkey's face miraculously change into a man's, or is it the other way around? ICONOS - There are two 'morphs' on screen at once here.

These utilities are invaluable if you re thinking of creating ST-Guide on-line Help files and reference guides. Why do it the hard way DB SPOOL V1.0 - This useful ACC redirects output intended for the printer port to a disk file. It is primarily intended for programmers to avoid the need to put a print to disk option into their code when developing programs.

Files are TREES NSA07 NSA23 NSA25 NSA32 NSA50 NSB32 NSE22 NSE25 NSE26 NSF03 NSF53 NSG04 NSJ45 OBSERVATORY NSA13 NSA36 NSB07 NSF02 NSH27 NSH37 NSI33. THE BOURNEMOUTH CFN COLLECTION DISK 10 - Contains the following Serif fonts:- LUBALIN (Normal, Normal Italic, Bold, Bold Italic), LUCIDA (Normal, Normal Italic, Bold), NEW BASKERVILLE (Normal, Normal Italic, Bold, Bold Italic), NOVARESSE (Normal, Normal Italic, Bold, Bold Italic). STANFORD GRAPHICS - A collection of over 350 GIF images which have been designed specifically for use on Web pages. Quality varies but the best of these are of a very high standard and will add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise dull Web page. BOMBS - A Minesweeper clone. Select a grid of any size from 8x8 to 16x30. A number of bombs (at least 10) will be hidden within the grid. You must click on a square to reveal what is behind it. If it's a bomb, the game is over. If not, it will reveal a number indicating how many bombs are in the adjacent squares. Mark your guesses for the bombs with flags. High scores are saved to disk. This game has a Zest-like feel to it. ANOTHER PLACE - An Asteroids like game based on Cosmic Chasm on the long dead Vectrex. Enter a cave in your spaceship, collect a jewel and leave within the time limit. Don't bump into the walls or you'll lose one of your 25 lives! PEKING - Perhaps the best variation on the Chinese tile game to date. You can play with Chinese tiles, pictograms, flags or signs. Your aim as usual, is to clear all the tiles from the playing area. For one or two players. POKER SQUARED by David Becker - A cross between Poker and Solitaire. You decide where to place the cards on the 25 square grid in an attempt to make up the best ten poker hands possible. Different hands have different scores and high scores are saved to disk. The first full game to use the ZeST interface. Chaos Strikes Back Help Disk - the editor allows you to view the layout of the game, complete with maps. You can scroll through the maps (which are several screens large) and click onto various objects for info. You can also get a printout via your printer. Digi Synth 1 by The Wild Boys - A well presented intro, leading to a main menu from which you can listen to eight MOD files ported from the Amiga. CODE V1.05 - A universal code sender which functions as a CPX. It allows you to quickly and easily send control codes for the almost any command, to your printer, modem, screen or Midi device. Although a number of drivers are supplied, instructions are given for creating your own. Thanks to Robin de la Motte for the translation. SYNERGY DEPACK V2.2 - Another of those programs which depacks compressed files. Useful if you need to translate text within a program or want to repack it with a newer packing program. NEW DEPACK V1.1 by Mike Watson - The successor to Mega Depack on UTL.3226. This version runs as an ACC, GTP or PRG and there's an optimised version included for the Falcon. It recognises and depacks 126 different packed file types and is Multi-TOS compatible. Batch mode allows entire folders (or drives) to be depacked in a single operation. Simply the best depacker available. GEMRAM V1.6 - Copies GEM from ROM to RAM. This is necessary if you want to apply custom patches to GEM such as WINX (on this disk), ARROWFIX or SHBUF. The current version is TT and Falcon compatible and now has English docs and messages. WINX V2.2 - Patches GEM in RAM in conjunction with GEMRAM to give it many of the functions built into Multi- TOS. Although the improvements are many and varied, it allows you to have more windows open on the Desktop, patches the AES in TOS versions below 2.0 to fix numerous bugs, patches TOS 1.0 to prevent it from crashing due to a memory allocation bug, and allows the right mouse button to perform extra functions on TOS 2.0 upwards. LET EM FLY V1.3 - Allows you move dialog boxes around the screen with the mouse, implement keyboard shortcuts for button presses, adds new icons to alert boxes (replacing the drab GEM versions), lets you view what's under a dialog and lets you switch off grow and shrink boxes for faster screen redraws. Multi-TOS compatible. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 13 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are ALKALI, CHRUSHIN, COUGAR_3, LETSGO8, ZOOLOOK. CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT WW2 FOOD GARDENS . Scanned at 400 dpi for use in DTP. Files are MIN_FOOD NEW_FISH ONION POTATOES PRESENTS PRESERVE RADIO_1 TIBS RADIO_2 ROOT_VEG PEOPLE01 VICTORY WEEDING PEOPLE06 WIND. CROFT SOFT CLASSICS - A set of games from Croft Soft Software covering a wide variety of game styles. MANSION is a game created with the 3-D Construction Kit, and it is your task to enter the mansion and then locate and rescue the Mayor, who is being held inside. Control of the game is by use of the mouse. FUZZLES is a SEUCK game in which you must help the Fuzzles fly through a number of levels to reach safety. Control of this game is by use of the joystick, but the game can be played in either one or two player mode. AERIAL KOMBAT ST is a two player game controlled by two joysticks. The aim of the game is to kill your opponent yet keeping your own lives intact. The game includes a variety of different scenarios. This is the predecessor to Aerial Kombat II on S-GAM.5061C & S-GAM.5062C. ATARI EYES V1.01 - A pair of eyes follow you mouse around the screen! They always 'look' in the direction you're moving in and can be set up to suit. AUTOLOAD - Lets you load up selected files at boot up. The difference between Autoload and other startup programs is that the programs to be run do not have to be in the Auto folder. BREAKUP - Splits up large text files. This is useful if you don't have enough memory to load a file. DIRECT DRIVE V1.0 - Read the directory of a floppy or a hard drive partition and print or save the listing. The directory can also be printed in a format suitable for a 3.5" disk label. You can specify the depth of folders to be displayed and the type of sorting used. There are also a number of helpful utility functions included. HDINFO V1.1 - Modifies the DESKTOP.INF or NEWDESK.INF on bootup, to display the amount of free space on the drive, rather than the drive name. INSDATE - An ACC which (when selected) prints the current date into word processing documents. Obviously your system date must be set correctly first! C source included. INSCHAR - An ACC which bring up the ASCII character table. Simple click onto the required character and it will be inserted into your document. INTEGRITY V1.0 - Creates a file which stores information on a program. If at a later date, you think your program has been tampered with, simply create another integrity file and do a comparison (a program is provided for this) between the two integrity files. JONDOS V1.07 - A fast but compact command line interpreter. It uses Wordstar compatible keyboard shortcuts for editing the command line and can call up the GEM file selector at any time. You can even subsitute a command name for one you are more used to using. All commands are fully documented. LPRINT V1.1 - Prints out a text file to the parallel or serial port. If using the ACC version, it will print in the background from your WP package. Very useful if your WP doesn't allow you to print to the serial port. MARROW by Stuart Coates - Converts mouse movements into cursor key equivalents. This lets you use the mouse to scroll within WP documents. MOSTHIEF - Lets you 'steal' the mouse pointer for use in your own C programs or Mouse Ka Mania on UTL.367. It's obviously only of use if you have a customised mouse pointer on screen when you activate it! NESS BENCHMARK V1.2 - Performs 5 different tests on your ST and allows you to compare these with its inbuilt database of results for different hardware setups. It can also be useful for comparison when screen accelerators etc; are present, to test their effectiveness. PRGFLAGS by Atari - Lets you alter the fastload bit and set whether or not a program should use TT fast RAM. SWITCH - An alternative system font for low and high res. TURBO V7.05 - A fully configurable reset proof ramdisk and printer spooler. Yes, even the printer spooler's contents will survive a reset. VIDEO REPLAY V2.0 - This brilliant Shareware program allows you to load and edit video sequences created using Vidi ST and SAM digitisers. In fact you can even digitise directly into Video Replay if you have the Vidi ST cartridge connected. The program also allows you to load and edit sampled sounds. The samples can be attached to the picture sequences to make mini films. However, you'll need at least 2 Meg if you want to include sampled sound in your work. The interface is similar in style to Microdeal's Video Master and very easy to use. Highly recommended. Colour only. BUSKER - A collection of 8 MIDI files which basically serve as a demo of MIDI Busker from Station Software, which will give you a good indication of the quality of this series. Titles are:- Acoudem2, Acoudemo, Beatdemo, Bluedemo, Classic, Funkdemo, Jazzdemo & Latindem. Guitar strumming is particularly good. QUADRAT v1.0 by Dirk Hagedorn - A magic squares game. The aim of the game is to place the tiles (numbered from 1 to 25) onto a 5x5 matrix so that all lines (horizontally, vertically and diagonally) add up to 64. Fully multi-tasking friendly. An excellent challenging puzzle game. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. SOKOBAN ICE by Johan Sprang - A re-write of the old classic puzzle type game where you have to push blocks around the screen and avoid boxing yourself in. In this version you play a hippie ghost who is frantically trying to disguise all his CND signs (by hiding them behind stones) in advance of an inspection by the local ghost licensing agency! Graphics are superb, hiding the game's 8-bit roots whilst maintaining the addictive playability of the original. 45 levels are supplied along with easy instructions on how to create your own. STE Only. MEGAMINES DEMO by 999 Software - A very playable demo of this latest offering from the producers of Alien Thing. As you would expect, this is a Minesweeper clone but its better than most, with a huge minefield, excellent graphics and sound effects and superb explosions. This version just lets you play on the easiest level (it's damned difficult!) but is otherwise fully functional. The full version just costs a fiver! SAM'S VOYAGE by Jason King - You play the part of Smiler Sam stranded on an inhospitable planet in Outer Space. It is connected to his home planet by treacherous footpaths and your aim is to return home safely. The footpaths are divided into 25 levels and you must amass sufficient points on each level to progress to the next. Just two snags, Gordon Grimmer is chasing you and it's rather easy to slip and fall into Outer Space! an impressive challenging game from a new programmer. SOUND EFFECTS (ANIMALS, ARMY) by Martin Cubbitt - A collection of weird and wonderful sound samples for you to use in your own programs. Animal samples are BEES, BIRDJUNG, BIRDSONG, COCK, CRICKETS, CUCKOO, LION1, LION2, LION3, TIGER, WOLVES, WOODPIDG. Army samples are BATTLE, BUGLEFAL, BUGLELP, HCANNON, DDRUMROL. FGREP - GNU FGREP V1.1. A compatible replacement for Unix FGREP. The options are the same as those of the GNU VEGREP. GREP - EGREP V1.5. Another Unix port. Both programs should be familiar to Unix users. Fools Lisp - Another implementation of Lisp. Two Cyber Paint animations along with Douglas Little's improved player program (SPACE to exit). Boot up with this disk and double-click the required SEQ file to load. Animations are CIRCLES and DEJA_VU. Both feature solid 3D objects smoothly animated in real time. Deja_Vu requires 1 Meg. HTML DOCS - Extensive documentation on HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and how to use it to create your own documents for the World Wide Web. There's a detailed explanation of the HTML v1.0 standard, a quick start guide and some examples of HTML in operation. KIVI QWK READER V2.03 - Almost all BBS messages nowadays are stored in QWK format. Kivi is an off-line QWK reader. In other words, you download your mail messages, log off and load up Kivi. It recognises the packing method used, unpacks your mail, lets you read it, reply to it or compose new mail messages. These are then packed and saved in the QWK format ready to be uploaded the next time you log on. Kivi can also unpack your replies just in case you decide to edit them. It also allows you to extract mail items from the QWK packet in ASCII format. QWK readers are not uncommon, but what makes Kivi unique is the fact that it is Multi-TOS and SpeedoGDOS compatible (and indeed enhanced for these systems). Kivi has lots more options and lets you customise everything to suit your own preferences and save your settings. One of the best QWK readers available. DARKLYTE - A cross between a war game and chess. You control four droids, each of which has certain capabilities, on a chessboard type grid. You and your opponent take it in turn to try to remove each other's pieces from the game. FREAKED - A puzzle game where you must guide your character across a tiled grid, picking up points as you go but avoiding traps and monsters. Your aim is to reach the door at the exit of each level and onto the next, more challenging level. KABOOM by Dave Munsie - A classic Tetris type game where you have to catch the falling blocks before they reach the bottom of the screen. You begin with three lives, each loss of life reduces the size of the pad you use to catch the blocks. Very smooth and frantic gameplay. ST+ #15, MARCH 1997 - This issue has the colour purple as its theme! A welcome addition is the Starting Out section which offers advice on printing problems, explains what TOS is and looks at incompatibilities between versions, gives a humorous guide to computing jargon and has the latest set of Atari Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). News includes the forthcoming Atari Shows, The ST+ Meet and a new game from STOSSER Software. Reviews are of Nemesis, Graoumf Tracker (both Falcon), Donkey Island, QL emulator, ICD Link (both ST), Cannon Fodder, Chequered Flag, Doom and Alien vs Predator (all Jaguar). There's a DIY project which explains how to build an adaptor for using a multi-sync monitor with a Falcon and John Weller returns to the ST scene with a reprint of his interview with God! The comms section has news of ST+ on the World Wide Web, a look at the Internet and its problems, a review of Connect and more... Other features include ST+ readers' top 100 ST games, Alien vs Predator cheats, all the regulars and more besides. GEMSPOOL V3.3 - A printer spooler with a difference. Rather than set aside an area of memory to 'feed' the printer, it actually writes the file to disk and feeds that to the printer. The benefit is that very little memory is consumed and the spooler obviously survives a system crash. This Shareware version has several limitations. Well worth registering. DUNGEON MASTER/CHAOS STRIKES BACK EDITOR by Simon Oke - An editor program which allows you to change character data and game data from saved game files, CSB prison saves and the DUNGEON.DAT and MINI.DAT files. This is a major re- write of an earlier version but only works with the first version of both games i.e. the Mirrorsoft versions, not the Psynosis compilation versions. SUPERVIEW V1.12 by STectre - A file displayer which can be used to replace the Show/Print/Cancel option from the Desktop, installed as an alternative file viewer or run as an ACC. In addition to displaying ASCII text, it can also show Degas, NEO and Spectrum 512 picture files. There's lots of other advanced features like virus checking and playing sample files on the STE and TT! TCB Tracker files with player program . Files are DEVILS EN_TWO GOBLIN SIX_UP SQUAD STARZE TEN_ONE BANGLE CHIGGIE ENOLAGAY GURU MADHOUSE SEARCHER STRANGER 64SONG ZULU. Clip Art in PCX format (ANIMALS, XMAS) as used by Pagestream 2.1 and the IBM PC. Files are ANGEL, ANTELOPE, APE1, APE2, ARMADILL, BAT, BELL, BIRDS, BISON, BORDER, BULLHEAD, BUNNY, BUTLER, CAMEL, CANDLES, CATTLE, CHEETAH, DOG, ELEPHANT, FOX, GIRL, HORSE, HORSE2, ILL314, KANGAROO, KITTYKAT, KOALA, LAMB, LION, MADEINUS, OTTER, OWL, PIG, PLATYPUS, RACCOON, RAM, SANTA, STAG1, STAG2, TEDDY, TURKEY, US_EAGLE, XMASTREE, ZEBRA. NEO303 - An upgrade patch which will upgraded v3.01 and v3.02 of NeoDesk to v3.03. Obviously you must have a legitimate copy of NeoDesk before this program will work. HD FREE v1.2 - A CPX which displays the amount of space used (and free) on each partition of your hard drive, using a bar graph. It also displays free memory against total memory. DISK MASTER 3 - A great Shareware utility which lets you log in any two available drives and perform a variety of functions on the files. You can identify file type, copy, move, rename or delete files, create or delete directories, perform a show info on folders, view text files, view NEO pictures and view text files. Unfortunately Disk Master is colour only. RUNLOW V1.3 - Allows you to run a low res program from a medium res Desktop. It stores the palette of the med res screen, switches to low res and runs your program. When you quit the program, you are returned to med res with your selected palette. It even lets you double-click a data file and loads up the low res program which runs the datafile (useful for picture viewers). TIME BANDIT - This program makes you invincible when playing the game Time Bandit. The doc also gives you the solution to several of the puzzles within the game. NOT TOS 1.6 upwards. ST BEERMAT Issue 1, July 1994 - Released through the respected Organised Chaos label by the Fallen Angels, this is issue one of a new Shareware diskmag with a registration fee of just £1.00! As the possibility of a second issue depends on the response from the first, I strongly suggest that you register. There's literally something for everyone and this diskzine will keep you reading for hours. Along with the strong computer content which includes articles on various launguages, there is also a wealth of non-computer features. These include everything from the scripts of the series "Bottom" to reviews on sci-fi books. There's a section for Microprose Grand Prix and Stunt Car racer lap times too! Reviews are not in short supply, covering a vast range of software from The Ultimate Virus Killer to Xenon II, Elvira II to Sleepwalker, with around forty serious reviews of Public Domain, Commercial and Hardware products. Included in this smooth well laid out and excellently produced shell, the authors have given you the ability to load in any file, even from other diskzines! There are some nice touches to this first issue. Remember to click on all the icons on the main menu as these are usually hiding a wealth of articles in sub menus. A recommended buy. INSIDE INFO 56 - Another great issue of the disk magazine from Down Under. This one has to be the most feature packed to date and certainly the most varied. The impressive news section from all around the world includes stories on 40mb floppy disks, voice recognition chips and more! On the disk there is swag of DC Utils, 2 massive text files detailing ST Bios and hardware and even more. There is a disk magazine roundup, an article on making the most of your modem, Inside the STE, comparisons of PD Databases to commercial ones and simply far too much to mention. Reviews & previews include Artifex TOS upgrade, Arabesque Professional, Flash 2 (Comms package), Abbreviator ST, Mutlidesk Deluxe and Megapaint PRO v4. Recommended. BERZERK by Dave Munsie - A new version of the classic robot warfare arcade game. You chase around a series of rooms trying to eliminate as many of the defending robots as possible, avoiding collision with the walls which will lose you a life. Good use of sampled speech throughout the game. A no frills classic game which is fun to play and very addictive. MAGNO-BALL by JV Enterprises - Catch the ball using your joystick controlled ship, a magnet will fix it to the front of your ship, then guide it towards your opponent's goal. Beware, contact of any kind (with the edges of the playing area or your opponent) will result in the ball escaping. Once the goal is in sight, shoot. This is the sort of game that looks much easier than it really is, but it will have you coming back for just one more try! SWEEP - A new version of the classic Minesweeper game by Colin Watt of Top Notch. Use the mouse to uncover squares, if you uncover a mine then you're dead, the aim is to uncover all the squares without revealing any of the concealed mines. Numbers on the uncovered squares tell you how many mines are on the surrounding squares and by logical deduction, you should be able to work out the location of the mines. AUTOVIEW by Tony Greenwood - Allows you to automatically play CyberPaint SEQ files and a whole lot more besides. The files can be packed with a range of packer programs, but ensure you use Ice Pack if it is to be used on a Falcon. As well as playing the animation, you can also have chip music (19 different types are supported) or sampled sound (in WAV format) playing alongside the SEQ, ideal for creating your own intros. Falcon's don't support the chip music and pre-STe machines don't support the sampled sound, but the program lets you set up your intro to play the correct type of music on any machine. It can even be installed as an application, so you can double-click an SEQ file to play it.Colour Only. PACIDISK V1.0 by Mr Roast Chicken - When running the Pacifist (F.6049) or Nostalgia (F.6160) Atari emulators on the PC and Mac respectively, you cannot read ST disks directly. They must first be converted to .ST disk images. So what happens if you forget to keep a copy of the original disk and later want to use it on an Atari? This program lets you restore the .ST file onto a real Atari disk. FIGLET V2.1.1 by Eero Tamminen -Have you ever seen examples of logos, 3D text and jazzy messages created from nothing more than plain ASCII characters? They are probably most common in email signature files but infrequently appear elsewhere. Lets blow away the myth, they are not laboriously created by hand, they are generated automatically using a program called FIGLET. Finally we have an Atari version of FIGLET and a collection of over 130 "ASCII fonts". The only drawback is that it's a TTP program and therefore less than intuitive to use. Having said that, it is well documented. Figlet is best run from a command line as the standard input box for a TTP does not give much space for the necessary commands to be entered. Needs a hard drive. EURO DISTANCE v05/98 by David Sykes - A simple yet useful program. Simply type in the name of two European cities and it calculates the distance (in road miles or kilometres) and/or journey time (by car) between them. Although not every town or city is covered, most major ones are. What's more the data extends from the Orkney Isles to Moscow! Colour only. BLOX v2 by David Baggett - Place pieces in the centre of the screen to make rings, completed rings disappear. A similar idea to Tetris but with a number of differences. Very addictive. SWAP TILES - You must travel around a group of tiles stepping on each one only once to arrive at a set destination, usually a grey tile. However, take too long planning your route and you are sent back to the start. UNMAGNIFICENT 15 - Test your reactions as you aim to outdraw and outlive, as mean a bunch of outlaws as ever entered a saloon. Use the mouse to position the cross hairs on the gunslingers before they draw on you. Eight levels are included, with the outlaws drawing even faster as you get further into the game. The Black Cats Demo by Doctor Prof & Others . This is another intros compilation. Press Space after the loading screen to load in your choice of various intros. BINKLEY TERM V3.17 by Bit Bucket Software - The Atari conversion of a popular DOS based comms program. Although Binkley Term is TOS based with no graphic interface, it has many redeeming features. It can be used as a standard comms package for logging on to a BBS, or as a BBS system itself. In addition, Binkley Term fully supports the changed serial port designations on the TT and Falcon and can send and receive faxes if you have a Zyxel fax modem. A popular program with Stateside users. BTNC V1.10 by Daniel Roesen - BinkleyTerm ST Nodelist Compiler. This program claims to many advantages over previous offerings. It supports a full 5D nodelist (only 3 files are required for the output nodelist, no matter how many domains you use). There is no need for PR24USER anymore as nearly all nodelist flags are parsed and all sysops are now included in one file. It is also possible to include FrontDoor-style pointlists. PARSELST V1.10 by Bob Hartman - A nodelist processing program for processing a Fidonet nodelist. It uses a control file to process the information contained in a raw, "St.Louis" nodelist, and turn the information into a form usable by several Fidonet compatible BBS and mailer packages, including BinkleyTerm, Opus- CBCS, TBBS and QuickBBS. ParseLst is capable of producing so-called "new Opus style" (Version 6) nodelist files for use with BlinkleyTerm 1.21 and above, or Opus-CBCS 1.10 and above. APOINTS.FAQ - Atari Point System Frenquenly Asked Questions V0.4 by Paul Civati. This document has been written to help answer questions about setting up or running a point system on an Atari. Primarily written for the TurboNet T_POINTS echo but should serve as FAQ for running a point system on an Atari for any mail work. POINT.TXT - A description of the mechanisms by which Fidonet mail can be accessed on-line, off-line and by pointing. The document will be distributed initially as a whole, but you are encouraged to split it into its three parts if you feel that may be more useful ( i.e., you think someone might read a short document, but not the whole thing). ADRENALINE DENTRO - A two disk continuous (i.e. no menu) dentro. Watch the 'Amiga Effect', the 'Psychedelic Tour' and then a 3D square transform into a 'rubber square' which flops around the screen. There are a few scrollers including rotating ones, and several greetings screens. If that's not enough, there's a Space trip through parallax starfields and another screen which has pictures made up from dots which fade into other pictures. The last screen is yet more 3D objects and features most of those seen on previous screens. A number of pictures appear between the sub demos. These include dragons, animals and people. Another excellent dentro to add to your collection. THE DUNGEONEER'S AID by Slipfinger and Amok - These programs are designed to give a helping hand to those who regularly engage in role playing games. It lets you generate treasure, armies (both good and evil) and maps at a few clicks of the mouse. The results can be saved to disk or printed out. Some options are disabled in this Shareware version. THE VIDEO MAGICIAN by Slipfinger and Amok - This is an easy to use video titling program. You can use any font in STOS .MBK format and up to four PI1 or NEO screens in your sequence. Simply enter your own text in your chosen font and display it over one of the loaded screens. Text is scrolled horizontally, vertically, like film titles or simply appearing at a selected position on screen. You can specify how long each screen is displayed for and can specify black screens between the pictures, if required. Once you're happy with your title sequence, save it to disk as a sequence. This can be re- loaded at any time and recorded onto video tape. Instructions are rather brief but it's quite straightforward to use. TOSBOX V1.4 by Mark Slagell - The latest Shareware Atari emulator which runs on a PC. This one is reputed to be very compatible with most utility type software and almost all well-behaved GEM programs. Very few games will run nor will software which plays tricks to achieve its aims such as most demos. These are better run on PacifiST FALC.6049 though TOSBOX is more stable as a development environment. Some programmers are currently writing ST programs on TOSBOX Other advantages over PacifiST include direct access to floppy disks PC hard drives and PC CD-ROMs an easier set up procedure it s completely automatic and the ability to run ST software in SVGA modes as well as standard ST resolutions. Please note that you will need to copy the TOS ROM from your ST in order to use TOSBOX. We cannot supply it for copyright reasons but an ST program to copy your own TOS ROM is supplied. TOS versions 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.62 and 2.06 are all supported. Sound joysticks and MIDI are not supported by TOSBOX. Minimum requirements are a 386 with VGA display a hard drive and 2Mb of free RAM recommended is a 486 with VESA 1.2 compliant SVGA display and 4Mb or more of free RAM supports up to 14Mb . Please note that this disk only runs on a PC compatible computer. It will not run on an Atari computer. TOSBOX runs at the speed of an ST on a DX4/66 and twice the speed of an ST on a Pentium 75. This disk is included in our collection for the benefit of customers who use both Atari and PC computers. We regret that no technical advice can be offered on this product as we do not own a PC at Floppyshop. BIRDIE II by Zeal - A high quality introduction welcomes you to the latest demo by Zeal. The introduction has some excellent music which plays throughout the rest of the demo. The demo features fractals which instead of just standing still, move towards the viewer. There is also a large ball with spinning lines coming off it. Shapes which are created from thousands of dots make their usual appearance and later form another 3D dot generated tunnel. This demo displays one of the fastest flights through a tunnel of this type. There are also the usual greetings and credits which appear across the centre of the screen. STE ONLY. AVR by Chris Flint - Converts AVR (Audio Visual Research) samples between 8 bit and 16 bit formats and mono and stereo. For example, Pro 12 and Pro 16 samples can be converted for use in Stereo Replay or vice versa. EDSYNTH - A three voice (plus noise) music synthesiser which creates music which runs under interupt. The command language gives full control over the ST sound chip. By clever programming, the 3 voices can be made to sound like 9! Includes routines to compile tunes for use in your own programs. Also routines for playing tunes from STOS. PROTRACKER V1.1B REPLAY by Griff of Electronic Images - A player program for soundtracker files. Features 7 output options including STE stereo. Compatible with Noisetracker 1.0 - 2.0 and Protracker. 17 kHz output. MODULPLAYER ST/STE V1.4C - Another MOD player. This one's from Germany with German documentation. Good quality output via monitor. Works in low or high res but not medium. SCONVERT - Another sample converter from Chris Flint. A sample in ST Replay, Replay Pro, Mastersound or STOS Maestro format can be selected and resaved in any format and at any frequency. Samples may also be expanded or compressed. PAULA v2.6 - An Amiga MOD player for the STE, TT and Falcon. It emulates the Paula (Amiga) custom chip at up to 50 kHz on a TT or Falcon. It is compatible with all types of MOD file, has three frequency settings, allows pitch and speed to be tuned and is fully programmable. Also on disk is PETRA which allows Paula to run on pre-STE machines. Clip Art in IMG format .

JETSET WILLY by Paul Taylor and Carl Whitwell - Look what we ve unearthed from the archives Jetset Willy was a classic with a cult following on the Spectrum and C64 there was even a followup though I can t remember its name. The game was converted to the ST in the mid eighties but the publishing house Software Projects pulled the plug on it before release. Although unreleased the game was completed. Software Projects are long since departed and the authors have decided to release the game for all to enjoy. It is identical to the 8-bit version but has lost none of its original addictiveness. The only drawback is that it comes with no instructions. You have to wander through about 50 levels of platforms and ladders collecting objects as you go.

STIS is no longer restricted to working with 16 colour pictures and runs on any ST, STE, TT or Falcon. EASY POV V1.6 by Christophe Cordonnier - A nice easy to use GEM based front end for POV 1 & POV 2. Everything is set using the mouse and pop-up menus. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. IPF CREATOR AND VIEWER by Matthew Hunter - IPF format is essentially a 16 colour conversion of extended Spectrum 512 (SPX) format.

JINNEE V1.0 by Application Systems Hiedelberg - A replacement Desktop primarily targeted at MagiC users although it can be used under single TOS or Multi-TOS provided you run the supplied WDIALOG program first. It is AV compatible and almost everything is configurable from the user's point of view.

You can have several preset configuration files to choose which ACCs, CPXs, INFs and Auto folder programs should be loaded. However, Ocultar really excels in its security password system.

TAZ V1.00 by Daryl Richards & Kevin Tessner - A terminal emulator with a few noticeable extras like the ability to use 16 colours on a medium resolution screen and support for speeds in excess of 38400 bps. It is based on Telix on the PC and supports TTY, VT52 and ANSI emulations and both the Atari and IBM character sets. Other features include a scrollback buffer (lets you recap on anything which went flying up the screen) and a 200 entry dial directory for all your favourite BBS numbers. File transfer supports ASCII, X-Modem, Y-Modem or you can call any external transfer program (such as XYZ.TTP). TAZ can be controlled by mouse or keyboard and includes an in- built Help screen and a comprehensive manual on disk. MUNPACK V1.3 by Hans Streibel - Allows you to encode/decode MIME encoded messages as used by many PC/Mac applications. Only runs under MiNT/Multi-TOS. NOS POP3 - A modified version of AtariNOS which supports the POP3 mail protocol rather than the more common SMTP. Use this as a replacement for NOS.TTP when using Oasis v1.35 (on F.5292) if your ISP uses POP3. You MUST use this version of NOS if your ISP is Pavillion as they only support POP3, most others support both standards.

Includes a full range of tools for editing animated icons or creating your own. Includes a sample RSC file. VGA ONLY. CHAIN ST V1.2 by Tony Harris - A GEM based program which must be installed as an Auto application. It sets up a ramdisk of your chosen size and copies a pre-defined list of files into it. The advantage Chain ST has over other programs which automatically copy files into a ramdisk on startup is that it allows up to ten GEM programs to be run as Auto applications on boot up rather than the usual one. iPRN V2.02D by Peter Missel - Yet another printer accelerator. This one claims to speed up printer output by up six times the normal. It also reduces the 40 second timeout experienced if you try to print with no printer attached. The demo has some limitations and registered users get some extras thrown in too. UK ADVANCED CRYPTICS DICTIONARY V1.3 by Ross Beresford - A massive collection of 190 000 words. It was compiled from lists totalling 500 000 words by eliminating entries which were not allowable in UK cryptic puzzles. All included words are listed in The Chambers Dictionary Collins English Dictionary and The Concise Oxford Dictionary.

This gives you only a 1 in 18 446 744 073 709 551 616 chance of breaking the code without the correct password What makes Cryptar better than most encryption programs is that it creates a duplicate file to encrypt rather than overwriting the original. CLOCK PATCH - Documentation and pictures detailing how to modify your Falcon to fix SCSI and sound hardware problems. This improves the usability of ScreenBlaster and ScreenEye allows D2D recording at 49Khz eliminates read/write errors with external SCSI devices. These are probably similar modifications to those implemented in the C-Lab Falcon. Everything s in German but we ve done a RUF translation. Do not attempt this modification unless competent to do so. JOKE JAHANH by STectre - A fun program which mixes up randomly selected verbs nouns and adjectives to make up amusing or unamusing stories. In English and Norwegian.

Note this is a DTP-type program for outputting music scores to printer, not MIDI. Mono Only. REAL SOUND - A MOD file player which runs as an ACC and plays the music in the background if running as an ACC or under Multi-TOS. STE ONLY. GUZ'S AMAZING SOUNDTRACKER TUTORIAL - A tutorial file on how Soundtracker programs work. It has a number of example MOD files included to illustrate the points it covers. Obviously you will need a Soundtracker program in order to make use of the tutorial. We recommend Protracker v2.1 on MUS.3732. A880 by Fred Fee - An editor for the Roland A880 MIDI Patchbay. It lets you store one bank of 64 patches corresponding to the bank in the A880. These can of course be edited and transmitted back to the A880 either as single patches or as an entire bank. They can also be saved to disk. Setting up the A880 to send and receive patches is somewhat tricky but the excellent doc takes you through the procedure step by step. Requires 1.3 of the A880 operating system (1.2 owners can obtain an upgrade from Roland). Mono only. CHATMIDI by Jos Theelen - A clever little program which lets you send MIDI signals over the telephone! Lets assume you want a friend to hear your latest composition. Assuming he also owns an Atari, this program lets you play your composition live through his synth! You can even chat to your friend via the terminal window whilst online. Obviously you both need to be running Chatmidi and a modem is required. The delay between the MIDI signal being transmitted and received is only about 1/360th of a second at 9600 bps, so it's practically real-time. It's just a shame you can't set the baud rate higher than 9600, otherwise it may have been possible to send Sysex dumps too. CHEETAH by Fred Fee - Allows you to transfer data between the Cheetah MD16 and MD16R and your Atari. Please note, this is not an editor. It merely takes the entire memory of the Cheetah and dumps it to disk. Any editing must be done on the Cheetah itself. This utility lets you store the memory dump and restore it to the Cheetah at a later date. JV180 V1.2 by Fred Fee - Roland JV880 to JV1080 patch converter. Patches can be uploaded directly from the JV880 to the Atari, then synths switched over and the patches sent to either of the JV1080's memory banks. It's probably best to store the patches on disk first. They may be saved in the program's own format, Dr T's X-Or format, in Sound source data disk format or as a MIDI type 0 sysex dump. The patches should sound almost identical when played on the JV1080 but there may be some differences. In such cases, the program does give you access to a number of parameters which can be tweaked. JV880D by Fred Fee - An ACC which performs bulk dumps when used with a Roland JV880. These can be of patches, performances, drums or sysex dumps. This handy ACC handles all types. Please note this is not an editor, it merely allows you to store the data from the JV880's memory bank on an Atari disk. All editing must be performed using the synth itself. JV1080D by Fred Fee - An ACC which performs the same functions (as JV880D) for the Roland JV1080 synth. MIDI SET by Damion Jones - Written specifically for users of Breakthru (but useful in other applications), this ACC lets you set up the parameters in your Controller with minimum fuss and bother. This program supports more parameters than most keyboards/expanders actually use and can be used alongside any GM compatible synth. REAL MIDI by Dobashi Hiroshi - Displays incoming MIDI data in real time. It displays the note entered along with a graphical display of the strength of that note. The graphical display is intended as an aid to those learning to play or who have difficulty distinguishing between different notes. Data may be sent on any MIDI channel and is monitored on an unused channel. Needs 1Mb, Mono Only. SYX_SEND by Fred Fee - Countless patches can be found on the Internet in SYX format. This program lets you send them directly to your synth. VZ DUMP V2.0 by Fred Fee - Handles bulk MIDI data from any of the Casio VZ series of synths. Although the voice banks are compatible across the range, the OPMEM, VC+OP, Multi Patch and Full Banks are not. As well as storing dumps, this program allows you to send data between different synths in the VZ series, converting the data if necessary to ensure compatibility. Please note, there are no bank editing features. VZ Dump merely receives and stores the bank data on disk ready for transmission back to the synth at a later date. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are BLACKMOR, ENDTHEME, HITSQUAD, HURICANE, INGAME, OLDWASTE, PAZ, WONDER. POSITIVITY by Dracula of Trisomy . A very short shadebobs demo. Pleasant to watch but offering nothing new. ST Low Res only. VREATH - A rather impressive screenshot from a forthcoming game of the same name by Aura of Independent. RGB monitor or TV only. CHROME DRAGON DEMO by Opium - Starts off with a rather spectacular picture of a warrior riding a chrome dragon. It then progresses to a picture of a planet with rotating cubes above it. The cubes then go on to dance around the screen and this is followed by several gourad shaded shapes and a cube with different pictures texture mapped onto each face. As usual everything is done in real time. RGB monitor or TV only. THE EKO DEMO by EKO - This is a three part demo and you must press Space to proceed from one part to the next. The first part consists of three sphere make up from hundreds of multi-coloured dots. The spheres are constantly rotating and changing colours. The second part consists of text flipped through all three axis inside a 3D globe made up from 6000 dots which is constantly rotating. The third is a cartoon head which flips through all three axis in a similar manner to the second part. Everything is done using the DSP. This demo only functions correctly if interlace is switched on RGB monitors or double-line off VGA monitors and you must be in a mode with a least 16 colours. Also it s fussy about what it runs after so you may have to switch off for about 30 seconds before leading. Needs 4 Meg. EMPIRE BUILDER from Advent Software - You start up a building firm and try to amass large profits. Deal in stocks and shares. Hire staff, accountants, solicitors etc. Not bad game. Involves quite a lot of strategic thinking. ASTROPANIC 94 Rev E by Dan Ackerman - A re-write of an old shoot em up. Your home planet is being invaded by flying saucers and you must destroy them.

It just loves running in 256 colour 80 column mode It s even compatible with resolution enhancers and Birds Wings virtual screen driver . Needs 4 Meg. WALTZ - A bat and ball type game in a similar vein to Arkanoid. There are lots of falling objects to collect some improve your performance others impede it.

NANJING - A two dimensional game which uses differing sets of Chinese tiles. There are six different sets of tiles to choose from. You start off with six tiles placed randomly on a grid and your aim is to place as many of the remaining 66 tiles onto the grid as possible. There are of course rules as to which tiles are allowed to go where and strategic positioning of tiles yields a higher score. Translated into broken English you will easily pick it up after a few games. Signum fonts for 24 pin printers . Fonts are CHEMIE, GRAPH4, HEBRHELL, MATHEM2, RAHMEN, CHEMIE2, GRAPHIK, HIRAKANA, MELODIE1, RUSS_2_D, CHEMIE_1, HEBRAE, KATAKANA, MUSIC, SYMBOL, COMOCHAR, HEBRFETT, KYRILLGR, AMBER, HAND, LANORM, SCOLA, VABIG, BUBBLE, HAND2, MARCUS, SCRITTO2, YUPPIE, CALIGRAF, KANSTLER, PLOP.

POVERTY by Persistence Of Vision - Released on Christmas Day 1994 this demo was originally destined for the STE as The Ozzymaniacs Slideshow 3. Due to a twist of fate it has ended up having overscan added as well as DSP based tracker music and found its way onto the Falcon first. It consists of a slideshow of almost 40 pictures presented in an unusual manner. Instead of being displayed on a static screen one after the other the pictures bounce around on a 3x3 virtual screen starting off too fast to focus on then slowing down. when you ve seen all the pictures press SPACE for the end part otherwise it will loop round continuously. Poverty only runs from floppy and switches off your hard drive while it is running. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg. COUNTOUT By Tony Greenwood - A two player game based on the Channel 4 television program. Choose nine letters, either vowels or consonants and try to make the longest word you can within the time limit. Every three rounds, the computer scrambles a nine letter word, which you must try to identify within the time limit. Very addictive. NIRVANA - Another addictive game. This time it's a platform and ladders type game with some very good graphics. On each level, you must collect a number of objects within the time limit, at the same time avoiding the monsters who will take your life!

PINGUIN - A rather curious adaptation of the familiar minesweeper type game where you must uncover all squares on the grid which do not contain a penguin. The squares which surround a penguin always indicate how many penguins are in adjoining squares. A number of preset grid sizes are available or you can design your own. You can also decide how many penguins will be hidden in the grid. SpeedoGDOS and Multi- TOS compatible. NOT TOS 1.0. IT by Shadows - Don t panic It looks like the screen has corrupted when it starts up. Wait a few seconds and you re in for a real treat. Most of the graphics in this demo are raytraced so the quality is high. There s solid 3D objects the brass tubular effect is amazing . 3D tunnels the whirlpool effect s not bad various texture mapped objects some weird effects here and much more. The demo is fairly short but graphically and sonically very well produced. A highly polished or should that be Polish demo. RGB ONLY needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Clip Art in IMG format (1920's WIRELESS ADVERTS). Files are RADIO, TUBEREJU, VACUUM, VACUUM_2, WIRELSS1, WIRELSS2, WIRELSS3. THE GRAPHIC LIBRARY FOR C BEGINNERS (GLCB) - An extensive library of modules for use within your own C programs. It allows you to handle graphics, sprites, mouse events, keyboard events, file access, real time clock usage, double buffered animations, digitised sounds, memory management, random functions and use of an internal font. The module has currently been tested on PC, Mac, Amiga and Unix machines as well as TOS, so your code will remain portable through use of this library. Includes the full sources to eight games and several utilities which were created using the supplied library functions. The modules supplied are in C and assembler and include the relevant files not just for the ST and Falcon but for all supported machines. MISCELLANEOUS TEXT FILES - A collection of useful bits and pieces. There s a selection of excellent science fiction stories written by Ian Clarke an explanation of the differences between the TOS revisions available for ST/MEGA/STE/MEGA STE/TT machines instructions for modifying a Microsoft mouse bus version only to work with Atari computers and some interesting information on the Jaguar 2 which COULD be available in 1996.

It explains its purpose and covers its use with MintNet TCP/IP UUCP KA9Q and Ethernet systems/protocols. FALCON.BUG - Two IMG files which would really need to be printed out to be of any use. The first suggests a slight repositioning of the power cable coming from the power supply in order to avoid lots of bad sectors being reported when formatting the internal hard drive. The second relates to interference from the CPU clock signal which results in crackling through audio or D2D recording problems. Instructions and a diagram are included for the modification. TOXIC MAG Issue 1 - The Storm Brothers and friends have got together and produced another disk magazine for your collection. It has a nice GFA coded menu and the article reader is quite fast. The initial intro contains a nice piece of animation. This mag concentrates heavily on the ST scene and has interviews with no less than 11 group members, or even whole groups! These include FFT of Next, Docno of Fuzion and many more. There are reviews of the Ohh Crikey Wot A Scorcher Demo, the Vodka demo, Gateway to Hexenland and a long list of other good forthcoming demos to watching out for.

There are of course all the regulars including Editorial, News, Stockmarket, Letters, Art Gallery, the latest console news plenty more besides... THE M.M.M. EXPERIENCE by The Hemoroids - A collection of ten tracker modules chosen from a menu. The modules include BLINDED BY FAITH, AN ENDLESS WORLD, and AFTER ALL WE TRIED. A short text accompanies each module and a lengthy scroller runs throughout the demo. The quality of the modules is very good, making full use of the STE's stereo capabilities. STE ONLY. ROMAN V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Translates decimal numbers into Roman numerals. THE PROHIBITOR V1.0 by Lxix Software - A password protection program. This one is better than most because it sounds off a siren until the machine is rebooted if an incorrect password is entered. Also, it hides the password program and file so they cannot be seen on the Desktop. Finally, it lists the number of failed accesses the next time you successfully log on. JAY GROUPS v1.0 by Jay Software - Lets you create symbolic links (aliases) to files on your hard drive. It is then a case of opening the appropriate group to bring it up in a Desktop window look-alike. Double-click a file to run it or a folder to open it. A folder inside a group may have its contents in many different locations on your hard drive) but they appear as if they are all in the same location. An excellent way to organise your Desktop. Most useful under a multi-tasking system but does run under single TOS. Compatible the Jayshell. JAY FORMATTER V2.1 by Jay Software - Lets you format disks to normal or extended capacities (DD and HD). You can also change the disk's volume label or simply zero the disk rather than format it. Lots of other options are also available. On of the best formatting programs ever. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS compatible. JAY MSA V1.03 by Jay Soft - A new version of the Magic Shadow Archiver which copies the entire contents of a disk into a single file. It creates a disk image and is therefore ideal for use with demos since it preserves odd disk formats and custom bootsectors. This version adds the ability to browse directories in MSA files and extract individual files rather than an entire disk. File compression is also supported. Jay MSA runs in a window and is therefore ideally suited for use with Multi-TOS and Magic, although it will run under TOS. DOUBLE 2 by Jay Software - Gives a double-height screen on any ST or STE. It runs in medium or high res, giving a resolution of 640x400 or 640 x 800 respectively. Display can be scrolled or displayed in interlace mode (this second option only works on the STE). JAYSHELL by Jay Software - A program launcher with a difference. It works as an extension to the Install Application feature of the GEM Desktop, allowing you to start up files by double-clicking from the Desktop. It scores in that you can have multiple extension associated with each application and you can specify how the program is to be started and pass parameters to it. ELIZA V1.2 by Matthias Jaap - An up to date version of the old computer psychiatrist program. This one is presented in an attractive GEM shell and claims to use artificial intelligence. Tell it your problems and you may just get a rational solution, but then again.... ENHANCED CHARACTER INTERPRETER V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Enter any abbreviation or word and ECI gives a computer oriented translation eg; PRINT gives Pixel Random Integrated Non-Maskable Task! Click the translate button again and get another "translation" of the same word. More for fun than anything else but could have its uses. FONTKIT FONTS - A collection of 85 fonts suitable for use with EZ- Art Professional, Family Roots II, Easy Stitch or any other application which uses Fontkit/Fontkit Plus format fonts. STOSSER #17 AUGUST 1994 - This month's issue adopts a Pink Floyd (the group) theme. The main menu consists of a brick wall. All you have to do is click a brick and away you go! There's lots of articles for you to read. STOS FAQ looks at the kind of thing you can find on-line and an article on Memory Banks, what they are and how to pack them. The Back To Basics tutorial continues, there's opart 10 of the Missing Link tutorial and part 2 of the Extra extension guide. The A-Z of STOS continues with E and there's some debugging advice from Jamie Blakeney. Other articles look at copyright, adventure games, disks and joystick commands. Reviews include Multi Player Pakman and ST Cheat Guide. There's the usual Adverts, Contax, Problems, Letters and Telegraph Pole as well as news of a new STOS Helpline! The popular Hoo-R-Yoo has won a reprieve and is back with a vengeance and an absolute mass of Giveaways completes the line up. Happydaze - An animation by Radical Systemz. Mega Tridi Demo - Probably the best example of solid 3D animations you're likely to see. Repl - An intro by the Replicants. ULM - An intro by ULM. Xenex - An intro by Xenex. TCB Tracker modules with player program . Files are ADO DARK DELTA2 GRYMG2 MACO NOCANNON SILVER TORIES TENNIS VERTMAD WILDLIFE B_CLOTHS CONCERT DREAD2 FACTORY TITAN TRILOGY ZETAORIO. S-FALC.5727 S-FALC.5726 S-FALC.5727 PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally arrived on the Atari thanks to Doug Little s porting of the PC sources. This latest version is downwardly compatible with POV 2.2 but with dozens of new features and bug fixes. Amongst the new features is the ability to render a screen preview when running on a Falcon. Another major improvement is the incorporation of the faster routines from FTPOV. Like v2.2 this version features hundreds of scenes for you to render yourself all grouped according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual s huge running to over 800K and is very well written starting out with an easy to understand introduction to ray tracing then moving progressively to the more advanced stuff. It also includes several detailed tutorials all aimed at different ability levels. All support files for these tutorials are also included in the package. In addition there are a few Atari specific files detailing the Atari specific features of POV 3. You can run POV 3 from a CLI or from Dirk Klemmt s POVShell which has been included for your convenience. We have also included Dirk Klemmt s POV Tools which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There s also various utilities which let you create lissajous build helixes from a torus create spiral textures on spheres create b-splines from cones and spheres create xtal shapes and twisted objects. Please note that this package does not include the source code. There s over 6 Mb of data crammed onto these disks Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive if you don t have a hard drive we recommend the POV 2 package on S-FALC.4512 S-FALC.4513 . This version effectively replaces an earlier release by Szymon Stazik. This package includes the 68030 PAK or Falcon 68030 TT or Falcon with FPU and 68040 Afterburner Medusa Hades etc versions. EPS16+ DISK WIZARD by Steve Quartly - A disk manager for the Ensoniq EPS. You can catalogue, list directories, delete, format, write labels, write the EPS OS to disk, and more. Imprint v1.24 - A useable demo of a budget priced print utility from zzSoft. Create high quality print outs in a similar fashion to Flexi- Dump. The only restrictions with the demo are the ability to print out the supplied pictures only and a time limit of 20 minutes per session. The demo supports 9-pin and 24-pin printers (colour or mono). IMPrint runs in any resolution. Sales Controller by Andrew Brown - This is an impressive invoicing and stock control system. Can be used with Sage compatible continuous invoice paper. The demo is fully usable with the exception of the save facility. The full version is available at low cost from the author. SYSTEM AUDIO MANAGER SAM V1.3 - Originally bundled free with the Falcon JTS Atari have now given permission for SAM to be distributed freely. SAM allows you to attach sampled sounds to system events eg an explosion to bombs Big Ben chiming for the system bell sound and so on. Alerts file selectors closing windows indeed any GEM event can have a sample assigned to it. In addition you can assign different samples to the keys on the keyboard. Press Help and it says Help press Undo and it says Undo etc. Adding samples to every key goes a bit over the top and can be off-putting especially if you re typing SAM accepts sound samples in AVR or WAV formats so you can use any the masses of PD samples available. Alternatively just plug a microphone into the back of your Falcon and record the sounds yourself SAM s built-in sampling editor is simple to use and more than adequate for the job. SAM was designed in such a way that programmers could make their programs SAM aware. When running such programs you can assign samples to various events handled by that application. To be honest the possibilities were endless the problem was that nobody ever supported SAM in their programs. The reason appears to be due to a bug in SAM which meant that the configuration files were not read correctly. This version has been patched by Kosmic Phish Productions to fix the bug the last official version was 1.2 . SAM is very well documented on disk and includes a full tutorial. SAMPLES - A collection of 40 sound samples to get you started with SAM. KP SACK V1.0 - An easy to use editor for creating SAA files. These are configuration files created by programmers of SAM aware application. They are read by SAM to determine which samples to assign to which events. KP SACK allows you to create SAA files easily. It also extends the Applications Global function in SAM. This function lets you set up common events for all SAM aware applications rather than or in addition to program specific ones. The original set of Applications Global functions have been further extended by Kosmic Phish to include 16 new Application Globals which include support for some of the more modern GEM features such as iconification and tile/stack windows. KP SACK is an excellent tool for programmers. DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard (included on disk) format database containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named drugs, together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations often used as drugs. AL'S VIRTUAL FILE MANAGER V1.1 - A program launcher with a difference. There is no limit to the number of entries which can be added to the list and directories can be added as well as programs. Documents can be associated with programs so that you select the document and the appropriate text editor loads. You can instantly open any specified directory with a double click on the appropriate item in the AVFM window. Programs which require parameters to be passed to them can have this specified in the config file too. File names can be up to 30 characters long and can have comments attached to them. All in all, a very handy program to have around, especially if you have a hard drive. If using TOS 1.2, AVFM only works if you have a replacement file selector installed. This problem does not exist with other TOS versions. FASTER THAN LIGHT (FTL) TEXT VIEWER by Antoine Calando - As the name suggests, a very fast scrolling text viewer. Install it as an application so that double-clicking a text file bring up FTL rather than TOS's Show Print Cancel dialog. DA CAPO by Dr Francisco Mendez - A comprehensive name and address database program. As well as being a nice easy to use database program, Da Capo supports GDOS fonts, non-modal 3D dialogs, the GEM Clipboard, colour icons and the AV protocol. It has very flexible import and export facilities and a powerful search engine. There's even an Auto folder program to remind you about forthcoming birthdays and other important events. Printout is supported to most popular 9-pin, 24-pin, Deskjet and Laser printers. Perhaps the best database program ever written! Program now in English but docs in German. This Shareware version limits the number of records you can enter, apart from that it's fully functional. DEV_SON1 by Simplet of Abstract - Assembler and DSP source code for using soundtrackers MODs in your own games and demos. Appears to cope with up to 32 voices at 49 kHz. PAULA DSP V2.2 by Chris of Aura - An adaptation of the Paula emulates the sound chip of the same name on the Amiga software on FALC.4867 which makes use of the DSP chip. This variant is unique in that it outputs sound directly to an SSI interface. It supports all MOD types supported by Paula in other words almost everything as well as the Protracker 3 format. Complete with assembler source. Requires an SSI interface otherwise you get silence JUST4YOU - Nine compositions in MID format by Fabrice Pierrot. Titles are AUTOMNE BOUGA GROOVE JINGLE NATACHA OSCAR SOUVENIR SWEET SM VALERIE. MIDI THRU by T Alker - A simple yet effective ACC which allows you to use the Midi Thru function on your built-in Midi ports. Unfortunately only the assembler source and docs are included i.e. no executable program. NAUDIO - A demo of the Naudio sample replay library. Includes NATRACK a MOD Tracker that runs on all Ataris and NQuiz a quiz game in which you play a sample mostly Heavy Metal extracts and answer a question. Facility to make your own quiz from your own samples. BUTTERLY ARTIST FONTS - A selection of 18 Calamus fonts converted by Tony Kaye for use with Butterly Artist on ART.63M.

Its many features include comprehensive editing facilities and a word processor! Cannot save and only runs for 15 minutes. M from Intelligent Music - Demo version of this MIDI pattern processor. Record patterns from a keyboard and process them in various ways. Not so much a sequencer as a semi-random music generator, but sophisticated for all that. Cannot save and only runs for 10 - 20 minutes. DT PAINT - A demo version of a mono only paint package which runs as an accessory and allows you to create and edit IMG files. Save is disabled.

MAGGIE 22 - The first issue of 1997 and it s as action packed as ever. It s identical to the ST version but with the addition of the impressive Falcon shell program and much more screenshots. Lets look at what s on offer. The news section has an in-depth report on the Phenix the relaunch of the FOG diskzine soon to be released Jaguar games new Falcon demos Falcon upgrade boards from France a new Chess game for the Falcon two Falcon adventure games and a Falcon shoot em up a new line of MIDI software from the Resevoir Gods and the SILIconvention. Games p reviews include Diamond Ice Donkey Island The Ishar Trilogy all ST Moon Games Break Out Spy Hunt Cavemania Super Bomberman Technoball Q-Blue all Falcon Defender 2000 Pinball Fantasies all Jaguar . Demos reviewed include Joint Venture Scarface Gloop Firestarter Xtasie Air Dirt Intercon Intros all Falcon and Insomnia Demo Confusion Intro both ST . Serious reviews are of Videlity WebSpace DBE Tracker MagiC 5 for PC and the Atari Calculator Interviews are with Arto David Encil Dave Hollis Richard Karsmakers Data of Trio Crac and Nolan Bushnell There s also two Show reports from the Autumn 1996 Atari Shows lots of fun in the Silly Department the Maggie Awards 1996 and whole lot more which would take another page or two just to list Something for all Atari owners and well worth a read. AROMATICA by TSM - Another foreign offering for the ST with all of the text being non-English! Don't let that put you off, because there are ten great screens worth seeing. These are accessed by pressing the numeric keys. The demos include a big scroller, bitplanes scroller, parallax scrollers and mega pixel scrollers. There is also a scroller on the main menu which describes all the screens, and music playing in the background throughout. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 46 - Two excellent animations. MORPH1 - The now famous morphing sequence stills were featured in the old Atari mags of a woman s face transforming into that of a cheetah. Obviously created using Apex Media as it s a True Colour animation and AutoDesk Animator PC only supports 256 colours. It runs a bit fast for my liking but can no doubt be slowed down if you have Apex. Well worth seeing. NEXTEN02 - An AutoDesk Animator film of a 3D model for a Starship Enterprise replacement. Very well drawn and animated. ANONYMOUS GIF ANIMATION TOOL AGATE V1.2 - A useful program which takes a 256 colour FLC file and converts it to an GIF animation for use on the WWW. It attempts to save only the animated area rather than the full 640x480 screen. Lots of options allow transparency interlace and other attributes to be specified. IFX_MATR by Eric Da Cunha - Two new special effects modules for use with packages which support Parx Software s M E modules. These are demo versions which perform convolutions on True Colour images based on a 3x3 matrix. Being demos you cannot save the resulting images. One version is for use on the Falcon the other runs on any Atari. Full versions available directly from the author. Unfortunately the docs are in French. FRACPACK by Eric Da Cunha - Four fractal generating modules for use with any program which supports Parx s M E modules. They allow you to create fractals using the Mandelbrot Julia Octo Barnsley and Phoenix sets. The less common Newton-Raphson method is also supported as is a new method which generates images which look like ceiling roses These demo versions only create fixed resolution images use a lower level of detail and are much slower than the full versions which may be obtained from the author. Docs in English and French. PLAY FLX V2.1 by Cyril Cogordan - Plays 256 colour but not True Colour FLI and FLC animations. Can be used from the Desktop or installed as an application so that FLI/FLC files may be double-clicked to launch them. CENTVIEW by Centek - File viewer and slideshow utility. It handles most file types and allows you to select the length of time an image is displayed. It always resizes the image to the current screen resolution but does not work in non-standard screen resolutions. POVQUANT V1.60 - A collection of programs for use with DKB Raytrace or POV Raytracer. The quantisation programs take a 24-bit TGA image and reduce it to 16 or 256 colours using the Octree or Heckbert colour reduction methods. ANIMDAT reads an animation source file and uses it to generate scene files for DKB or POV Raytrace. ANIMFLI takes images generated by the quantisation programs and builds them into an FLI animation at a size of 320x200 only . The docs for POVQUANT are aimed at a PC audience but should give enough information to get you going. GEM2PS V6.1 - Converts GEM Metafiles into PostScript or EPS format for output to PostScript devices. It is also possible to view the structure of the GEM file and to specify positioning on the page for the printing of its PostScript counterpart. Text can also be used but you are restricted to using the Helvetica font. ANIPLAYER V2.01 by Didier Mequignon - A Freeware player for Apple s Quicktime Movies and Microsoft s AVIs. It plays back both video and sound and allows you to capture individual images or the entire soundtrack in a number of popular formats. Aniplayer plays direct from disk so a 4Mb machine is sufficient for even the larger movies. A fast CD-ROM drive is required in order to replay at full speed although you can of course copy the files to your hard drive and run them from there. Runs on any 68030 processor in at least 256 colours. True Colour display graphic cards are supported is recommended as dithering down to 256 colours slows down the animation. When running on a Falcon the DSP is used to perform a number of tasks decompression being its main function . Currently most compression types used by MOV and AVI files are supported but Aniplayer does not support animations which exceed 320x240 in size. An impressive piece of software probably the best movie player yet. ZOB - File compressor for Apex Media s True Colour files. It gives good compression rates on hand drawn images but is fairly poor on digitised pictures. Its purpose is merely to save disk space the compressed files cannot be reloaded into Apex and a decompression program is also supplied just in case you need to access the file again. GRAFTOOL V4/2/96 by JJ von Bargen - One of the best graphic conversion tools ever released. It loads images in raw screendump BMP GIF IMG JPG GIF MSX II MidiMaze PBM PCD PCX PNG TGA and TIFF formats and saves them as TIF PNG PCX IMG or GIFALC. Its main claims to fame are that it can be run from floppy disk loads and saves files twice as fast as GEMVIEW uses less memory than GEM-View and it preserves the colour depth of the information eg load a 256 colour image into a 16 colour resolution and it will be displayed in 16 colours on screen but resaved as a 256 colour image with no loss of quality over the original . It also supports the playing of DL FLI/FLC and GL animations. Various palette options and dithering methods are supported as is the ability to create thumbnail catalogues of your images. Graftool is under constant development. This version is about 95 in English although the docs are in German along with a RUF translation . Later versions handle more file formats although they are not currently available in English. This unregistered version has some limitations but registration is free THE BOURNEMOUTH CFN COLLECTION DISK 7 - Contains the following Serif fonts:- BODONI POSTER, CASLON (Normal, Normal Italic), CENTURY SCHOOLBOOK (Normal, Normal Italic, Bold, Bold Italic), CLARENDON (Normal, Italic, Heavy), CONGO (Medium, Bold, Bold Italic, Extra Bold, Extra Bold Italic). 680XX by Percy of Light - This demo was Percy s entry to the 680XX Coding Convention. It starts off by displaying a digitised picture from Outer Space then a great stereo soundtrack starts up. I thought that was all we were getting Have a little patience and you ll see various wire frame and dot generated 3D objects superimpose themselves over the Space backdrop and scale and rotate in real time. KEKOOKOO by Dracula - The Atari fuji logo rotates on screen and is followed by a solid rotating cube. A voice yells at you and an egg pops out of the box Also on disk is one he did earlier. DRAGON - The fuji logo appears with Atari beneath it just like the startup sequence on the Falcon. It then moves into the centre of the screen flips over and you enter a 3D starfield which is constantly changing both speed and direction. EXTRO - A great picture is displayed on screen and accompanied by an excellent soundtrack. What makes the picture unusual is that it is double the height of the screen and scrolls up and down constantly. If you have an RGB monitor press SPACE to go to the next part of the demo which has some interesting graphic effects. The second part of the demo is missing on VGA TASIA TT by Tony Barker - This demo runs through a number of solid and semi- transparent objects rotating and scaling in real time.

Perhaps discovering the whereabouts of the Artifact can help. TAMORET - Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to help return a creature from the fourth dimension which has escaped into our world. A large complex adventure. C-BEAT from Movement Software - An ACC which displays the values of notes, from a thirty-second to a whole note, plus triplets, calculated from the beats per minute. DELAY CALCULATOR by Carl Lofgren - Useful little program (or accessory) for calculating delay times in microseconds, according to the BPM, calculating BPM by tapping the spacebar in the tempo you want and converting BPM to hertz. GROOVE ANALOGUE SEQUENCER SIMULATOR by Tim Wright - Said to replicate the effects of early analogue sequencers using modern MIDI devices. Patterns can be created and chained together producing sequences of up to 600 bars long. This is not just another MIDI sequencer.

If possible, protect the tank and radar installation as well. The game ends if any part of the city sustains five hits. There is also a two player option where one player controls the tank and the other aims the anti-missile batteries. SPACED WELLER by Simon Wilsher - Neither set in the future nor in the past, Spaced Weller tests your power of mind and observation. Your aim is to create coloured lines upon a magical grid.

BLAT - Probably the best Tetris clone to date. This one has a stereo soundtrack and countless extra features. In fact it makes the original look weak in comparison. It's the usual idea of objects dropping from above with your aim being to create complete rows. Each time you make a complete row, it disappears and delays the pile of rubble reaching the top of the playing area. Extra features include smart bombs, mini-avalanches, sticks of dynamite and much more. STE ONLY.

As soon as three identical blocks form a row in any direction they all explode and blocks around them drop into their places. The aim like Tetris is to stop the blocks reaching the top of the screen. Just to add to the fun there are special blocks which cause different reactions some good others bad Colums has three difficulty levels and a superb soundtrack which can be swapped for sound effects if you desire . This Shareware version has only one level but the registered version contains ten for each difficulty setting. Excellent graphics soundtrack and sound effects highly addictive too. Needs 4 Meg. PINGUIN - A rather curious adaptation of the familiar minesweeper type game where you must uncover all squares on the grid which do not contain a penguin. The squares which surround a penguin always indicate how many penguins are in adjoining squares. A number of preset grid sizes are available or you can design your own. You can also decide how many penguins will be hidden in the grid. SpeedoGDOS and Multi-TOS compatible. TAUTOLOGY by Resevoir Gods - This game is similar in concept to the Mah Jong tile games but played on a two dimensional board. To remove two tiles you must be able to join then with straight lines and are only allowed to turn the line 90 degrees on two ocassions to perform the match. It s not nearly as easy as you may think Tautology has numerous user selectable options including different tile sets the ability to create your own if you have True Paint a two player mode timer on/off and more. Tautology is meant to run in overscan mode on an RGB monitor but it does work on VGA. However some of the writing gets cut off you get no sound and you can only play in one player mode. Please note that Tautology must be run from a 40 column mode.

ST OBERON V2.05 by Stephan Junker - Oberon was developed between 1985 and 1987 by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht. It is used mainly for teaching purposes and is similar in concept to C also drawing influences from Modula 2. Like C it is a highly portable language with versions existing for almost all computer platforms. This version is an adaptation of Oberon 2 and runs on any Atari but has the ability to generate 030 and FPU native code where required. It also features an integrated assembler for added speed. Includes extensive documentation in English on the Atari implementation of Oberon along with details of the standards agreed for Oberon compilers at a developers conference.

VMEM 1.1 - Virtual memory driver which works on any Atari. It operates by setting up a swap file on disk and a buffer in memory and paging information between them. Full source code in Pure C and assembler is included. It appears that it only works if you are running applications which support it, hence the inclusion of the source code. The German docs are a bit cryptic to understand, but there is a short doc in English which explains what it's all about. Also, it requires a cookie jar to be present, so, it needs JARxxx or COOKIExxx (both on UTL.5340) to be installed if running on TOS 1.4 or earlier.

GFA SOURCE DISK 7 - The fourth disk in the 1993 series. This disk contains lots of examples of full utilities or games, as opposed to mere snippets of code. There's a good educational program called 'Maths Worksheet' which outputs random sums to a printer, for young children to solve. It is a good starting point for a parent who wishes to be adventurous and update it him/herself as their child progresses. Also on the disk is a complete Monopoly clone, alas containing American street names on the on- screen board. The source code is relatively easy to understand, and this particular version of the game could be brought into the nineties with ease! These two examples are in GFA version 2 format. For GFA Basic version 3 users, there is a truly ingenious program which converts resource files into actual GFA Basic code, for embedding your resources into your programs. It is similar in function to WERCS by Hisoft, except it's only for GFA Basic. ROADKILL by Daniel Fielding - Four mortal enemies posing as cute cartoon characters decide to settle their differences by having a series of drag races. This is a one player game where the only rule is that there are no rules! Ram your opponents, force them off the road or into the various obstacles lying around the track, knock down some spectators (to notch up your score), just please yourself what you do as long as you win the race! You can choose to play any of the four drivers, each of which has his own unique 'abilities'. Saying the game isn't in bad taste (knocking down innocent spectators can hardly be described as "good taste"!) would be a lie but it's not a 'bad' game as far as the gameplay goes. As with Daniel's other games there's a level editor so you can design or edit levels to suit. STFM compatible, STE enhanced. Needs 1 Mb. VLM HACKING by Jeff Minter - Explains how to get into edit mode on the Jaguar CD's Virtual Light Machine and create your own banks of VLM effects.

A goldmine of information for MiNT/Multi-TOS users. MC68000 INTERNALS - An extensive ST- Guide file aimed at assembly language programmers. Contents include the official hardware specifications for the ST, an eight part 68000 assembler tutorial series, some timing tests on the 68000, a comparison between the 68040 and '486, details of the ST's memory map and system vectors, GEMDOS traps and some programming examples. An invaluable compilation for all assembler programmers as well as those just starting out. ATARI ST PICTURE FORMATS - An ST-Guide file with details of the structure of all common bitmap, vector, animation and 3D graphic formats on the ST. There's also a list of graphic file extensions, stating which program these extensions "belong" to. The file itself exists elsewhere in ASCII format but is much easier to follow as a hypertext. ST-Guide Lite is supplied so you can read the hypertexts on this disk. JAGUAR EXPLORER ON-LINE ISSUE 3 - It's good to see Clay Halliwell and friends keeping up publication of this popular on- line title for Jaguar owners.

AUTOSWITCH V2.1 by Dobashi Hiroshi - A boot manager which displays up to 20 Auto folder programs and ACCs in a window. You can switch them on or off by selecting them with the mouse. Rather basic in features but useful if you just want to switch on/off the odd item. High res only. PORTFOLIO PARTNER V1.9 by David Becker - Have you ever tried to enter a long name and address list on an Atari Portfolio? The small keys make the process prone to errors. This program lets you enter the data on your ST. Records can be searched, sorted alphabetically, loaded and saved etc. Portfolio Partner restricts the format of the data to that which you can utilise on the Portfolio. You will still need to set up a serial link between your ST and Portfolio, but this program at least helps take some of the pain out of typing large files.

Things Not To Do by Electronic Images of Inner Circle - A highly amusing demo featuring eight things not to do! Superb animation, sound and graphics. A bit sick but good fun! AUTOVIEW by Tony Greenwood - Allows you to automatically play CyberPaint SEQ files and a whole lot more besides The files can be packed with a range of packer programs but ensure you use Ice Pack if it is to be used on a Falcon. As well as playing the animation you can also have chip music 19 different types are supported or sampled sound in WAV format playing alongside the SEQ ideal for creating your own intros. Falcon s don t support the chip music and pre-STe machines don t support the sampled sound but the program lets you set up your intro to play the correct type of music on any machine. It can even be installed as an application so you can double-click an SEQ file to play it. ST Low res only. WIN95FIX V0.04 by David de Ridder - If you copy files from a PC running Windows 95 onto a floppy disk the disk often appears to be messed up even Atari programs on the disk appear to be damaged when you try to read it on your Atari. This is caused by the VFAT system used by Windows 95 which handles long filenames on DOS formatted floppy disks. It writes illegal to TOS at least filenames with illegal file sizes. This program deletes these files and allows your Atari to access the data on the disk without further hindrance. SENTINEL v1.0 by Karl Ashton - A password protection system for MagiC users. It runs before the desktop and asks you to log in. Get the password wrong three times and your machine locks up. As well as locking out unwanted guests Sentinel also logs all access attempts so you know when someone tried to access your computer and what their attempted password was PARALINK 2000 by Paul Finch and Thomas Haines - An excellent program which allows you to connect two Ataris two PCs or an Atari and a PC together for the purposes of transferring data. Although slower than copying files from one location to another on a hard drive this method is at least twenty times faster than using a null modem to transfer the data at maximum speed on a TT or Falcon. It works by connecting the two machines using the parallel printer ports. All you need is a bi-directional this is very important male to male parallel lead which must be modified by swapping over two wires. It is also necessary if using a PC that you set it up for bi-directional communication otherwise you will only be able to send from the PC not receive on it. Both Atari and PC versions of the software are included. ATARI 800 V0.8.9 by Petr Stehlik - Another attempt at an Atari 800 emulator for the Falcon. This one emulates the 800 800XL 130XE and 5200 models of the Atari 8-bit family. It is a port of an emulator currently running on Amiga PC and Unix machines which has been optimised and re-written in 68030 assembler. It is also capable of emulating the Atari 8-bit screen resolution at full size. Keyboard commands are emulated and there s support for one joystick. As with every emulator the biggest problem is getting your old software ported across. Regrettably the docs give no hints as to how to do this though disk images from other emulators may work. It runs at about 20 of the speed of a real 800XL but is remarkably stable. VGA Only. FALCON TOOLS V1.00 by The Removers - Perhaps the only CPX for use with Xcontrol on FALC.4862 you ll ever need well almost It lets you specify the memory configuration of your Falcon useful if you want to see if a program runs on a lower spec machine STE Bus emulation the CPU speed blitter speed and whether the caches and/or blitter are on or ofFALC. This effectively gives you STe emulation in a similar manner to Backward. You can specify how the sound matrix is set up and record sound samples direct to disk with full control over input gain attenuation sample rate and so forth. Extra options are given for configuring Nemesis if fitted . One of the most useful CPX modules yet. MOON GAMES MULTI-CHAMPIONSHIP EDITOR by The U-Foes - Lets you have multiple championship files with Moon Games S-FALC.5975 to 5978 inclusive . Rather than continually overwriting the old championship file when you save a new one it stores all championship files in a separate folder and swaps them in or out of the Moon Games folder. NEMESIS CPX by Jay Software - A CPX for use with Xcontrol specifically designed to let you configure the settings needed for using Black Scorpion s Nemesis accelerator. Lets you select Nemesis frequencies Hi and Lo or classic frequencies 16Mhz or 8 Mhz and switch on or off the instruction cache or data cache. PACIDISK V1.0 by Mr Roast Chicken - When running the Pacifist FALC. or Nostalgia FALC. Atari emulators on the PC and Mac respectively you cannot read ST disks directly. They must first be converted to .ST disk images. So what happens if you forget to keep a copy of the original disk and later want to use it on an Atari This program allows you to restore the .ST file onto a real Atari disk. SCREENS PAIN V0.9B by Christian Cartus and Manuel Hermann - Gives you bigger screen resolution on any type of monitor. It is similar in concept to Videlity giving control not only over the physical resolution but also over the monitor frequency settings and so forth. It even includes a tester mode and virtual screen manager. Program is in German but simple to understand. Be warned trying to drive your monitor beyond its capabilities can blow it up RUNNING by STAX - Difficult to classify this one as either a game or a demo It s actually a preview of a DOOM clone. It is the followup to DOOMINO on FALC.5138 but much has changed. It is now a full 3D game engine. Running features texture mapped walls great sound effects and an atmosphere which is as close to DOOM as you re going to get. The options and controls are DOOM the characters are DOOM the only thing it lacks is the huge playing area and of course the high standard of gameplay. This preview version is fully function but with just a single type of monster and a single soldier type although there are many of them . Also you can kill them but they can t kill you. There s a decent sized area to explore objects to collect lots of user options and plenty of blood n guts to keeop the average player amused for some time I can t wait to see the release version Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. 31 Calamus Fonts . Most of these are complete implementations although a few are partial fonts. Fonts are ADVERT, BABYTETH, BAKEWELL, BANKCARD, BARNUM, BOISE, BOOKMAN, BOSWELL, BURLING, BURL_OBL, CALIGRFY, CAROLINA, CHANCERI, CHICAGO, CHROME, CLAIRE, CYR_COND, CYR_TIM, CYR_TM_I, DINGBATS, OAKVILLE, OLDSTYLE, PALATINO, POMPEII, SCHOOL, SERPENT, SOUVMED, SOUVMEDI, S_COMPCT, UNIFNT49.

Manual - this is designed to convert Readme Docs and ASCII Text files to a manual sized text, eg printing on both sides of paper. This program requires GDOS or G+PLUS, GDOS printer fonts and a GDOS printer driver. There is documentation on disk and some help screens within the program. If you don't have GDOS, it's on DEM.92, the Easy Text Pro demo. HIER SINUS NACH ZWE DENTRO by United Forces - This demo title has to be the most long winded we have seen for a little while. It was written by various coders at the 1994 United Forces Summer Convention. The introduction explains all this and uses some nice cartoon type graphics at the same time. The first of the six screens is 3D spaceship making a trip through a starfield made up from small bubbles instead of the usual dots. The second and third screens concentrate mainly on scrollers, including one which is full screen. Screen four features the greeting and has a hidden feature but you will have to read all of the text to find it! The text on this screen is displayed rather cleverly on top of a starfield. The fifth screen is the disk filler. It has a good sound sample and yes more text, this time displayed using a different effect. The last screen has a nice spinning wireframe triangle which changes into a spinning star. The scroller tells you even more about the convention which you missed. The music on this last screen is very well done. CYBER ANIMATIONS - A collection of 5 animations produced with Cyber Paint. ANTICADD - A rotating skyscraper, built in the shape of the letter A, viewed from above. FACEBALL - Madonna's face on a rotating, bouncing ball. The ball is bouncing on a trampoline-like surface.

This time the face is on a tube which rolls in an upwards direction and grows smaller as it heads for the top left hand corner of your screen. SMUSH - A simple animation of a word being dropped from the top of the screen, hitting its corresponding reflection, and expanding in a horizontal direction. ST2NC - A collection of programs and documentation for transferring files from the Amstrad NC-100 notebook computer to the ST. Full instructions on the communications settings, wiring of the serial cable and other pertinent information is given. There's also a demo version of Arnor's Protext v6 word processor which is particularly handy as the NC-100 has a version of Protext built-in as standard and the file formats are therefore directly compatible. The demo of Protext needs 1 Meg, but everything else on the disk will run on a 520. MANUALIZER V2.0 by Anthony Watson - A nice easy to use program which lets you print out ASCII text in landscape or portrait format or as A5 booklets. In addition, you can use up to three fonts in your document. One of the few manual creation programs which is not specific to Hewlett Packard printers, although it does work on them too. Ideal for printing out those readme files. Requires GDOS or SpeedoGDOS to be installed if you are printing to non-HP printers. 7 UP - An excellent word processor from Germany. It is GEM based and easy to use with all the usual functions and a few extras including the use of different GDOS fonts in multiple sizes. If GOS is not loaded, you can still change the size of the system font. More powerful than First Word but lacking the graphics and spell checker facilities found in commercial offerings. Translated by Evelyn Mills and Steve Delaney. EDITH v1.0 - A GEM based word processor which runs as a PRG or ACC. It uses GDOS fonts, communicates with Gemini, allows selection of multiple blocks of text, uses macros and has a built in printer spooler. A very capable alternative to First Word. MG v2A - A Micro Emacs clone. This is a command line driven text editor which is "broadly compatible" with Micro Emacs in its command structure. If you want something user friendly use one of the other two editors on this disk. Unix and PC users will be at home with this one. GHOSTSCRIPT V3.53 by Aladdin Enterprises - A Freeware PostScript language interpreter along similar lines to UltraScript and CompoScript. It conforms with level 2 of the PostScript language and allows you to view or print (to non-PostScript printers) PostScript pages such as those created using PageStream 2 and various DTP applications on both the PC and Mac. You can also view or print graphics saved in PostScript format. This latest version of the software also supports Adobe's PDF (Portable Document Format), a DTP file format which can be used in different DTP packages. GhostScript currently allows you to print your files to Atari SLM, HP Deskjet (incl colour models), Canon BJ series, Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin (incl colour models), Epson ESC P2, Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes it ideal for previewing your work prior to taking it to your PostScript bureau. Alternatively the page (or graphic) can be saved in IMG, PBM or PPM graphic file formats. Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive. THE NEVER ENDING COLOURING BOOK by Tony Greenwood - A pleasant presentation for children who enjoy colouring in pictures. 10 pictures are supplied on disk and the operative screen is well designed with a palette of colours, a brush and a pencil and is ideally suited for young children to use on their own. Full instructions are given and your pictures may be saved to disk. CLOCK TIME by 4HJ - As the title suggests, this is an instructive program designed to help teach children to tell the time. A useful 'watch and learn' prelude is given, to show how to manipulate the hour/minute hands. There are five levels of play which are guaranteed to have your child familiar with the basic concepts fairly quickly. PUZWORD - Sure to appeal to everyone who is interested in crosswords. The concept is based on Word Workout in TODAY and involves replacing numbers with letters. The crosswords are numbered 1-4O so there is enough to keep the user happy for hours. Having selected a number, an 11 x 11 crossword is displayed. A letter must be entered, followed by a number. This letter will then be located wherever the number appears on the board. All used numbers and letters are displayed. The whole puzzle may be seen if required. Full instructions are on disk. Frustratingly recommended ! SOMA CUBE PUZZLE - The idea here is to put together seven shapes from a series of small cubes in order to create a 4x4x4 3D cube. Several on-screen icons are used to manipulate the shapes. Good fun and well documented.

The collection is compiled by Next but has contributions by almost 30 top European demo crews. The gigademo begins its life as a Next emulator, and a pretty impressive looking one too! You are then presented with the first menu from which you can select a maze, an alternative main menu and a few other bits and pieces. If you just press Space, this leads you to a screen which resembles the scenery from Shadow Of The Beast. This is the first main menu. Move using the cursor keys or joystick. Each of the 17 doors leads to a demo and Space/Fire enters the demo. At the end of the first menu is a teleporter. Just walk into it to get to the second menu which contains 10 demos. The 11th door leads to the third menu which contains another 6 demos. The menus are superbly done and the demos are fairly mixed. They range from OK to brilliant. EASY GEM LIBRARY V1.22 by Christophe Boyanique - A collection of Pure C sources and library routines for adding a slick new futuristic looking 3D interface to your own GEM program. It supports pop-up menus iconification of windows and everything else you would expect to see in a modern interface. Easy GEM was used in the production of BITMAP VIEW 3 POVSHELL 2 and other recent releases by Rac me Production and now they have released the complete sources under the GNU Public Licence. Easy GEM is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems. It is also fully compatible with SpeedoGDOS and all its predecessors. A small demo of a typical application is included. It allows you to load up the Help files which form the documentation for the library.

Register for the unlimited version. MARK BUTLER ENCRYPTION V1.01 by Manfred Ssykor - A data encryption/decryption program named after the person who devised the encryption algorithm. It doesn t claim to be as secure as PGP but is much easier to use takes up less disk space and should be more than adequate for personal use. ISHAR SURVIVAL KIT - A collection of hints and tips and maps for the game Ishar - Legend Of The Fortress. Also included is a character editor for the game which loads up a saved game and allows you to edit your character. Includes a text file giving some info on using the kit on the Falcon.

This Shareware version allows 40 disks to be held in the database. The full version has this restriction removed. DARKROOM - The software needed to drive the X10 Powerhouse Controller on your Atari. This is a PC interface which plugs into the serial port and allows you to control up to 256 tasks each of which can contain up to 128 different steps. These tasks can typically be things like switching on the lights at a certain time of day or switching off your burglar alarm just before you get home from work. In other words in association with the hardware interface which you will have to source yourself it controls household appliances by remote control. CIVILFIX by Olaf G the - Allows you to play the ST version of Civilisation on the Falcon. CAL TIFF by Lance Squire - Fixes illegal TIFF saves created using the Bridge module for Calamus SL so that they can be read by most PC and Mac software.

Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for translating the docs into English. ANOTHER CD-PLAYER ACDP V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD driver for use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with FALCON_BOS. ACDP has many functions which include playing the audio tracks reading the actual table of contents of the CD stopping the song changing to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC. 680X0CAC V0.2 by Ralph Zimmerman - A CPX module which lets you set the data instruction and ST RAM caches on or ofFALC. Invaluable if you want to run ST games on your Falcon. SCAN-IT by Trade-It - Formerly a commercial release, this package is now available as Shareware. The software as supplied loads, GIF, IMG, ESM and PAC file formats and saves as ESM or IMG. It features a number of block manipulation and filtering processes (some are disabled in this version) and allows you to convert True Colour pictures to Greyscales or Greyscales to monochrome. This is of course just a taster of Scan-It's real power, which lies in its ability to scan images. Registered users get the appropriate scanner driver for their make of scanner. Scan-It runs in any resolution and is fully compatible with graphic cards. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. MUNCH V1.1 - An impressive monochrome graphics package. As well as all the usual drawing tools, there's the following tools:- star/multigon, parallelogram, smudge, multi-bezier, rubber ellipse, gradient, bend and lasso, to name just a few. Munch also allows you to work on pictures larger than the screen and has lots of special effects (registered users get a program to create their own). You can load images in Degas, NEO, IMG, MAC, PAC and TN3 formats and save as IMG, TIFF, PAC, PI3 and more. You can even save pictures in PRG format so that they can be double-clicked and displayed from the Desktop. There are lots of user definable parameters which affect the way the tools work. Munch is fully compatible with (Speedo)GDOS and can make use of GDOS fonts. Programmers will be pleased to hear that your picture can be exported in GFA, C or assembler code or as an icon for use in RSC files. We have not even scratched the surface of Munch, it has more unique features than Heinz has varieties! Very highly recommended. Needs 1 Meg, MONO ONLY. UDO V6 - An application designed to automate the conversion from UDO (Universal DOcument) format to ASCII, ManualPage, ST Guide, LaTeX, Pure-C Help, RTF, HTML and WinHelp on-line documentation formats. The idea is that you learn just one syntax, that of UDO. You then run your source file through this utility to convert it into as many of the supported formats as you require, thus eliminating the need to learn the command syntax for the other on-line help systems. It does work and it works well at that. It's just a shame that you can only convert from UDO, rather than between any two of the supported formats. THAT'S WRITE FONTS - A collection of fonts for use with That's Write from Compo and laser printers. Fonts are LZS_13 to LZS_25 and SZS_13 to SZS_25. CLIP ART IN PCX FORMAT - A collection of miscellaneous pieces of clip art. Files are SA0259, SA0261, SA0266, SA0270, SA0287, SA0290, SA0292, SA0297, SA0299, SA0309, SA0311, SA0317, SA0322, SA0324, SA0331, SA0339, SA0340, SA0362, SA0369, SA0385, SA0388, SA0394. TANX by Donald Campbell - The object is to get as many of your tanks through the enemy minefield, while preventing your opponent getting his tanks through, by placing five mines on your minefield. Somewhat similar to battleships but with new strategy elements. Three levels of difficulty. Also on disk is an introduction to BIORHYTHMS with classic examples. The games on this disk are former BUDGIE UK titles. INFO '90 text files from Usenet - Covers period from 17 Jan 1990 to 31 Jan 1990. ROLAND D110 MANAGER by H J Stulgies - Pro quality Shareware editor and librarian for the Roland D110 module. Most features work with the D5 keyboard and should work with other D-series synths, although there are some differences between models. Recommended - but beware, there is no English manual and this is quite a complex program. Your Shareware fee gets you a German manual only! The No-Name Demo by the Hitchhiker . Press keys A - J to access various screens by Rowan Smith. Press Z key to get a short BATMAN animation. Needs 1 Meg on the STE. AIM V3.1 - This is a major upgrade of Atari Image Manager by Delft University. The software is designed specifically for enhancing digitised images. Although it is described as an introduction to image processing, AIM is probably more feature packed than is required by the 'average' user. This latest version allows you to scan images in 256 grey scales using the Epson GT-4000 colour scanner. AIM can read and write IFF, IMG, Degas, NEO and its own custom formats. The first disk contains the AIM system itself and the second is full of example images. There is a help file which gives the syntax and purpose of each command, but due to the complexity of the program, we recommend that you purchase the manual from the authors if you intend putting AIM to serious use. Arcgsh V.2.1 - an arcshell for use with ARC, ZOO, UUD, UUE and SHAR. Easy to use GEM based shell. Documentation on disk. Bss- Bit - makes files load quicker by preventing them clearing all available memory. Only works with TOS 1.4 or the STE.

Intended as a guide for drinkers (that is provided you can still see the monitor/TV!). Dungeon Master help - Over 100K of detailed instructions on how to complete Dungeon Master. Also included are 20 picture files giving detailed maps of all levels. This disk is a must if you are stuck with Dungeon Master. ANOTHER CD-PLAYER (ACDP) V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD driver for use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with FALCON_BOS but should work on any ST/e with the standard MetaDOS drivers, although this is untested as yet. ACDP has many functions which include playing the audio tracks, reading the actual table of contents of the CD, stopping the song, changing to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC. ICD ESDI by Paul W.Shahood - Software designed to be used with ESDI hard drives. The drive and its parameters are installed into the ICDFMT.DAT file.

It can extend the screen size to 640x480 or 640x800. MONO ONLY, STE ONLY. ST REPORT - Covers the period 16/8/91 to 27/9/91. REDACTEUR 3 - The demo of the word processor from the ST Club. This program can load numerous WP file formats, supports different typefaces and character sizes, imports, crops and rescales pictures in several formats and lots more. It is user friendly with pop up menus coming off main menus and comes with over 50 printer drivers. This version has save and mail merge disabled but can output to your printer. Countless features, well worth checking out. Needs 1 Meg. STEStosSterone - The Demo! - Yes another STOS demo for the STE. This one is designed as an introduction to the STOS programmers' disk magazine of the same name. This time you have to pilot a small ship to the four individual demo screens using a joystick. The landscape over which the ships flies moves both backwards and forwards. The first screen contains a sound track and a picture which moves around (as it is bigger than the screen size). The second and fourth screen are very similar and contain more sounds. The third screen contains a chap on his flying carpet over the desert. Great stuff, did somebody say it was written in STOS? STE ONLY. CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT (DOGS) for use in DTP. Files are ABNTER00, AFGHAN00, AIRTER00, ALSAT000, BASENJI0, BASHND02, BCOLLI00, BDHND000, BDRCOL00, BEAGLE01, BEAGLES0, BLDHND02, BORZOI00, BOXER000, BSTHND00, CHOW0000, RECIPE FILE 1 & LYNX CHEATS - This is an unusual disk. It contains a huge 510K+ file which contains nothing but recipes for various food dishes! The recipes do not appear to be in any particular order and seem to be a collection of files from a number of people. Each recipe is rated on how easy it is to complete, and each indicates the approximate time needed to complete it. The list of ingredients is generally given in both imperial and metric measurements, and an indication is given as to how precise the measurements have to be. Each recipes contains a keyword as part of it's title, such as GREEK, INDIAN, CHINESE, so looking for a particular dish is not difficult when using the search function of the included Revenge Document Displayer. Examples of the recipes are:- Home made frozen yogurt, strawberry ice cream, peach nectar delight, sour dough pancakes and spicy potato curry. There are literally hundreds of dishes covered. Also on this disk is a file containing cheats, solutions, tips for more than 25 Lynx games. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FOOD FOOD FORMALS1 FORMALSC FORMSC__ FOULTON FOUNTAIN FOXLEFT FOXSCRIP FOXTROT FOXTROT1 FOXTROTM FOXXY5 FRAKTR FRANCEB FRANCEN FRANK6 FRANKEN1 FRANKENF FRANKEN_ FRANKFON FRANKFRT. T HE WORLD IS MY OYSTER by Aura - The first demo from a newish crew formed by former members of Axxis. A 6 part demo which was created on Friday 13th! All screens are well done and most of the music is 'borrowed' from Mad Max. Personally I liked the multi coloured bouncing frog best! BIGDOS 8 by Rainer Seitel - An ISO 9293 replacement file system which completely replaces the GEMDOS of TOS (but not MagiC). BIGDOS, as the name suggests, replaces GEMDOS with an MS-DOS compatible file system and therefore allows you to connect PC formatted hard drives and removable media devices (such as ZIP drives, Syquests etc) and read their contents directly. Files saved from your Atari to these devices can then be read directly when connected to a PC. BIGDOS supports up to 32 partitions and 65518 clusters. Cluster size can be anything from 1 to 65 sectors, thus supporting a maximum 32K cluster size. Partition sizes can easily exceed the 32 Mb size limit imposed by pre-TOS 4 machines. BIGDOS requires an XHDI 1.20 compliant hard disk driver to be installed. A patch is included to update the latest AHDI driver (on UTL.4638) to these specifications. If you are using HD Driver v4.51 or later, you don't need the patch as that driver is fully XHDI compatible. Docs in English and German. XHDI v1.25 by Julian Reischke - Full specifications of the XHDI standard which support mass storage media and allows you to address more than 16 partitions on your Atari. Includes C source. Docs in English and German. DF by Julian Reschke - A program which gives info on any hard drive, but specifically XHDI compliant ones. For techies only! PATCH 1.2U - Takes a file containing any of the four recognised difference listings produced by I.diff and patches a specified original file. Suitable for use to patch your existing AHDI driver to XHDI standard for use with BIGDOS. Includes C source. AT SELECT by Analysts United - A very simple boot manager. It lets you select from up to 10 Auto folder programs and 10 ACCs. DESKTILE V0.7 by Andreas Mayer - Combines a tile and a mask (both randomly chosen) to create a boot up picture. When used in conjunction with Deskpic on UTL.4271 (and Deskpic set to use the appropriately named image), the bootup picture is used as a Desktop backdrop, giving you a randomly chosen backdrop each time you boot up! Only mono images are supplied, but it works with colour images too. MR BOOMER by Sector One - Described as a Super Bomberman clone for one player. Move your man around the playing area towards the square marked EXIT. Stay too long on one square and it disappears move too close to the edge of the playing area and you ll fall off Just to complicate things you have several nasties to avoid a time limit to beat and several levels to complete. Of course you have a limited number of bombs be careful you don t blow yourself up Registered users get 100 extra levels and the ability to skip completed levels using passwords. A fun challenging game. THRUST V0.5 by Alexander Kirchner - How many of you remember Thrust on the C64 Spectrum and others This is the Atari version and it runs in a GEM window. For those unfamiliar with the original you control by spacecraft in a similar manner as in the game Asteroids except there are no asteroids and must avoid crashing and being hit by enemy fire. The goal appears to be to destroy the other spacecrafts and find a ball located somewhere within the level. Reaching the ball results in completion of the level. Only one level is supplied but you can make up more using any monochrome graphics package and a text editor. Instructions in German but we ve done a RUF translation. BATTLE by Nature - A simple two player turns based war game. Each player has four pieces and must move or fire in order to defeat the enemy. No instructions Multi-TOS compatible. DOOM EMULATOR ENGINE V0.60 by Lord Chaos of Gang - Yet another DOOM engine for the Falcon. As usual you will have to source a WAD file from the cover mounted CD of a PC magazine or download one from the Net. Even the Shareware ones are too large to fit onto a floppy We ve tested this one and were amazed to see that it supports texture mapping and you get the full range of monsters to fight. Leaving it on the default settings gives near full speed performance. Change them for a larger screen and/or high detail and the game will become unplayable even after resetting them. If you can get your hands on a DOOM 1 WAD file you dare not miss this one Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This three disk set contains the complete texts of The Old Testament and The New Testament (King James V edition) as well as the unregistered version of the top selling card filing system Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike other bible collections, this one has had every chapter and verse checked for accuracy and completeness. The database is huge (around 4.5 Megabytes) and must be decompressed onto 7 DS floppies or a hard drive. Users with plenty of memory can merge the data into two or three files to enable fast cross referencing throughout the bible. However, these merged files can only be saved with the registed version of Supercard 3 (10 from the author). Another program is provided to allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or ASCII formats although we're sure you'd rather use Supercard 3! This is an excellent compilation for clergymen, historians and scholars and demonstrates Supercard to its full potential. What's more, loading the largest data file from hard drive takes only a few seconds as do searches across the entire text! NT_COMP by Klaus Pedersen - Noisetracker compiler for ST, STE & TT. Improves quality of sound by compiling modules. The increased speed means that higher playback frequencies are possible. XBIOS MUSIC CONSTRUCTION KIT from David O'Connell - Step time three channel song and voice editor. Some similarities to Activision's Music Studio with the addition of GFA Basic routines to load songs into your own programs. Shows all 3 tracks on screen in hi res, one track only in medium res. CRACKIN MUSIC 1 - Loads in a PRG file and searches for chip music data. If any is found it can be saved to disk. I'm not sure what format the file is saved in. You probably need to INCBIN it into Devpac and call it from there. Take a note of the names of the PRG files before you start as you don't get a file selector. CONVERT - Convert .MOD and .SNG files from earlier versions of TCB Tracker to work with the version given away with Atari ST User. MODPLAY - Module player program for the STE. MOZART - The Dice Waltz. Write minuets in the style of Mozart by the computer throw of a dice. Based on a game said to have been written by Wolfgang himself! High res only (emulator included on disk). SOUNDACC - Sound player by Daniel Glazman. An ACC which plays digitized samples from the Desktop. Unfortunately no files are included. STOS_MAX - All you need to play Mad Max tunes from STOS Basic. Consists of a Devpac routine to load the tune into memory and assemble it. You then use the STOS Basic routine provided to load in the file you have just created and play the tune. An example tune is provided for you to play around with. THE_LIK.SRC - A Devpac routine for loading and playing music files created by THE LIK (whoever they are!). A number of example tunes are included on disk.

TLC_PLAY - A nice easy to use GEM based program which allows you to load and play digitised sound samples. Sheet 32P - An excellent spreadsheet program. This version is Shareware and only allows 19k of workspace. Registered users get full use of available memory along with a printed manual. Diamond - a demo of a hard disk backup and retrieval system. Works fine on the first disk, after that you need the full version. Pity! Reltree - create your family tree with this program. Shar - an archiver program. Splitit - splits up one large file into several smaller ones for sending over the modem. Tempconv - converts temperature between various measuring systems. Ultilist - sends an ASCII file to printer, disk or modem. Various parameters can be set. Wotday - displays current date as read from system clock. Most use in an Auto folder (after your real time clock software). ATARIPHILE ISSUE 2 - This bi-monthly disk magazine from the Falcon Fact File (aimed at ALL Atari users) is one of the best we have seen. It is just brimming with everything Atari and is presented in HTML format (as used for pages on the World Wide Web) and includes the popular CAB viewer program.

FORTNITE - A mouse controlled slideshow with pictures, historical and biblical data. 14 days are numerically displayed by icons at the bottom of the screen and the user may select as required. Each day represents 1000 years in terms of history. Access to a calendar gives a series of dates of Biblical and historical interest. Other features include fully descriptive text which will be of interest to religious scholars. TANGRAM - Two programs by the same author. The first is called 'Add' and consists of numerical questions on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division at varying levels of difficulty. The second program, 'Weights', is much more interesting and very well contrived. A see-saw must be balanced by dropping weights from the top of the screen to match the number displayed. Nine levels of difficulty are available, making this a challenging 'game' for all ages. DESKINF by Bob Samuel - Allows the current NEWDESK.INF file to be loaded up and modified for whichever resolutions you intend using it with. The new INF files are then saved under appropriate names in the directory of your choice. A great time saver when you need to create INF files in different resolutions for use with Superboot Xboot etc. DUET V1.0 by Andrew Alich - Allows you to connect up any two TOS based computers ST STE TT or Falcon to each other and access all drives connected to the network as if they were connected to a single machine.

Register for only 5.00 to enable these features. RUFTRADE v2.QN by Charles Edwards - This program has evolved from E_DICT on UTL.4637 and is currently one of the best automated German to English translation programs around. Its built-in dictionary s strength comes from the fact that it is computer oriented rather than limited to everyday German. In addition a number of common German phrases do not make sense when translated literally and Ruftrade attempts to identify these and subsitute meaningful alternatives for them. Ruftrade is undergoing constant development and is used to translate much of the documentation for the latest PD Shareware releases. This is the final release of Ruftrade and is now Freeware. ISHAR_ED - An editor program which allows you to change your character s attributes from a saved game file created with Ishar I or II.

The latest features include direct to disk recording to SCSI hard drives, MetaDOS 2.3 DOS to BOS drive mapping for programs which need this, Midi-COM support, universal SCSI 2 compatibility for unrecognised drives, new features for CD Audio and a host of bug fixes. Please note that this patch is of no use to you unless you already have ExtenDOS Pro v2.1, 2.2 or 2.3. Includes a ZIP (you'll need ST Zip on UTL.3093 to decompress it) file containing details of 1000 CD-ROMs which can be made to run on your Atari! MOST VIEWER by Brian Grier - A front end which lets you use the PC version of Compton's New Media CD-ROMs on your Atari. They all use Compton's M.O.S.T. technology, therefore this player works with all M.O.S.T. compatible titles. It brings up the index of the CD- ROM and lets you browse through the various articles. You can even use the built-in search feature to locate the articles you require. Registered users get an improved version of the software which includes sound support (on the STE, TT and Falcon), displays the graphics linked to the articles and lets you access the dictionary supplied on all M.O.S.T. titles. Obviously you'll require a CD-ROM drive, driver software and an appropriate Compton's CD-ROM in order to use this software. Needs 1 Mb. ALL ICONIFY ENABLER (ALICE) V0.9 by Sven Kopacz - An Auto folder program which allows any program to be iconified (shrunk down into a small window the size of an icon). The only catch is that it requires an operating system which supports iconification. These are currently MagiC >=v3, MagiC Mac >=v1.2.4, Multi-TOS, Geneva and N.AES. Please note that only the first two of these are supported in this initial release of ALICE. Connect, Thing, Freedom and several other modern applications already support iconification under the appropriate operating systems. ALICE brings this same functionality to older programs too. AUSPACK V1.16 by Fred Nicklisch - A nice easy to use archiver shell. It allows you to specify up to 20 different archived files (more than actually exist!) and locate the relevant archiver program (not included) to do the job.

Ideal for mass extraction of files after a lengthy download. Program and docs in both English and German. Multi-TOS compatible. TCB Tracker modules disk 18 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are DOC1, IF, JOHN1, RIFF, RSIGSC, SCHLUCHZ, VTOL, BSHADOWS. UPSCALE MEGADEMO by Ellipse - A nine screen (including reset demo) demo, several of which are multi-part demos. The menu itself is rather uninspiring, being nothing more than a list of names of the demos. The screens have wire frame graphics, chip music, scrollers and graphic equalizers. There's a full screen demo which is filled completely with small balls, which move up and down, left and right. Across the moving balls is a moving logo. The screen "colorful" has a cute robot walking across it, as well as three scrollers. The demo also has its own game where you have to run around a maze and try to find the source code disks. It's not as easy as you think, since only the immediate area around you is lit up. Playing against a time limit makes the game a real challenge. The game adds that little something extra, to a demo which has a fairly average selection of screens. The last screen is the reset demo, which is the old favourite, a chain of balls which go around the screen in various patterns. ACE INVADERS by Gary Wheaton - This is a marvellous adaption of the age old classic shoot 'em up. Now features two versions of the game in the same program! ZENITH by Gary Wheaton - An original vertical shoot 'em up. This is a two player game, somewhat rare nowadays. TRI-HELI by Gary Wheaton - A shoot-em up type game in which you pilot a helicopter. Full instructions are included in the scrolling text. Also included within Tri- Heli is another shoot 'em up called COSMOS (which bears an uncanny resemblance to Zenith). Various demos can be accessed by pressing the function keys. CLOD HOPPER by Gary Wheaton - A top quality platforms and ladders game. Guide Bill through 10 levels to rescue his girlfriend from the depths of the disused plutonium mine. You must repair the walkways and dodge the mutants as you go. Highly recommended. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. ANIMTOOL v2.1 by Martin Packer - An incredible program which gives control over frame by frame animation. It stores only the difference between frames rather than each picture seperately. Animations can be made to load from the Auto folder without user interaction. Please note that this is not a drawing package and that individual frames must be designed in such a package first. A number of animation are included. KWIKPIC - An ACC which displays Degas and Neo pictures. VIEWGIF V1.2 - A major upgrade of viewgif8 on ART.56. This version allows full use of the ST screen (i.e. no borders), reads more IFF file types and has a few bug fixes. Viewgif can read and write GIF, IFF, Degas, Neo, Mac and others. SILLY GAMES by Silly Software - Two top Freeware titles on one disk. In Grannie's Garden, some children have been kidnapped by the Wicked Witch and it is up to you to rescue them and destroy the witch. To do this, you must solve some puzzles before gaining entrance to the castle. The program is completely mouse controlled and features great graphics. Silly Reels is the fruit machine game, the main aim of which is to make as much money as possible. Many of the features of a fruit machine can be found here, including a hold and a gamble option. Don't forget to Auto boot or you'll miss the great intro with Major Bumsore And His Amazing Dancing Teeth! DIAMOND DIGGER - A boulderdash "clone" with 25 levels and the ability to create your own. MINEFIELD - Guide your man through an unseen minefield and through numerous levels. Believe me you'll need your five lives. SNAFU - A strategy game similar to Night Crawlers on GAM.15.

There are fifteen computer opponents (with varying skills) to choose from, these being the same opponents as per the original game. You can also choose how many wins are required to complete the game. For four human players you'll need a parallel port adaptor such as that supplied with Gauntlet II or Dynablasters (the commercial version!). Probably the most highly polished game of its kind.

IA allows you to create your own multi-media 'books' with each page having the ability to contain text, graphics, sound and digitised 'movies'. This disk contains the first of these 'books' and gives an insight as to how it's done as well as showing an example of what sort of results you can expect to create yourself. Although primarily intended for educational use (you can insert evaluation questions at appropriate points and block further access until they are answered correctly), Interactive Textbooks can be used for presentations or simply to entertain. You could even create your own multi-media disk mag! Please note that this is demonstration (run-time version) which cannot be edited. You get the full editor (including an application to grab your movies using Vidi ST) if you buy the full version of Oases from Floppyshop. Interactive Author is reason enough to buy the system now! This disk requires the demo of Oases (UTL.4607) and cannot be run without it. Needs 1 Mb. The Ouch Demo by Visualiser and Zealot from OUCH - Several small demos which have to be run from the Desktop.

It lets you place notes directly onto the staves and add text using the range of fonts and point sizes supported by your system to your compositions. Your finished work may then be printed out using GDOS. MIDI files may be imported and Sharpscore will automatically convert them into sheet music ready for printing. Similarly your compositions may be saved as MIDI files and played through the built-in speaker or output via one of a number of sampling cartridges if you do not have a MIDI instrument attached. This package offers an extensive amount of control over both the composition and DTP side of your music making and is very highly recommended. Please note Sharpscore only runs from floppy and does not exit legally. Also you should ensure you boot up from the floppy as it contains GDOS fonts necessary for the display of your musical notes. Don t try using Speedo or NVDI unless you know how to get the supplied bitmap fonts working with your setup Apart from that it works very well on the Falcon. All save and print functions are disabled in this demo version. Steely Boink - Taking shiny bubbles that ultimate one step further. Needs 1 Meg ram.

KELAUG #5 - Bob Kell's KelStar diskmag has been replaced by KelAUG, a user group diskmag jointly run by John Thompson and Dave Till. Surprisingly this is the first issue we've seen. It's in a similar vein to ST+ but with a greater emphasis on the user group. This means lots of for sale/wanted adverts, a lively letters section, hints & tips, programming tutorials and such like. Beginners and experienced users are all welcome at KelAUG. There's reviews of Convector Professional, Power Up and ZControl. Programming articles are included for STOS, GFA and Assember programmers and there's a couple of programs written by KelAUG for writing virus protectors and creating PRGs from music files. Articles for beginners give tips on rescuing data from corrupted floppies, minimising the code use in assembler programs, a guide to current telephone charges, a list of Atari friendly bulletin boards and a list of the latest Jaguar games along with addresses of WWW sites dedicated to the Jaguar. In addition to the ST content, KelAUG also features general interest articles. In this issue these include pieces on the origins of everyday sayings, medical facts, strange but true facts from around the world, and a few humorous stories (some true, others fictitious) and lots more besides. Be warned there is some adult humour and swearing in a few articles, so avoid if you are likely to be offended. FLM PLAY - Allows you to play FLM animations (commonly found on PC CD ROMs) on any ST, STE or TT. IMCON V1.1 by Christoph Pfisterer - Converts pictures between many graphic formats including DOO, PIC, P?1, P?2, P?3, NEO, PAC, TN?, ART, SPC, SPU, IM, IMG, IFF, PCX, GIF & TIF. You can enlarge or reduce the size of pictures, enlarge the screen area but retain the image size, convert between True Colour, Greyscale and palette based formats, invert the picture, switch on or off dithering and so on. Images can be resaved in IMG, TIFF, IFF or raw screendump formats. What makes IMCON score over more fully featured packages like GEM-View is its ability to load the picture into memory rather than display it on screen, thus avoiding the problems of colour reduction in lower resolutions. Having said that, you can display the image on screen if you want. IMCON runs on any Atari and is compatible with most graphic cards. POV-MOV V2.86 by Georges Gomes - A GEM based shell for use with POV Raytrace. What makes this shell different is that it can be set to render several scripts, one after the other, and it can also generate animations from POV scripts. You enter the parameters for the animation and the program generates the appropriate scripts for the in- between frames. Lots of options (some only available when you register) to make life easier for anyone who uses POV Raytrace. Thanks to Ralph Nelson- Tucker for the translation. Mono ONLY, needs 1 Meg. PIXKROME - An image processing package written in STOS! You can load pictures in Spectrum 512, RAW (QRT Raytrace), Degas, NEO, NeoChrome Master, Canvas, Art Director, IFF, IMG and TNY formats amongst others or digitise into the program directly using Vidi ST. Special effects include mosaic, inverse, shatter, sinewave, tanwave, flip and mirror. The colour intensities of RAW images can be adjusted for the different red, green and blue components. A number of filters such as min, max, mean, median and blur are also included. Although True Colour pictures are worked in in their their separate RGB parts, there is a preview mode which gives you an idea of what the adjusted picture will look like. Your completed masterpiece will have to be viewed using Photochrome or Raw2Spec. Needs 1 Meg, Colour ONLY. VIRTUAL SCREEN (X)IMG VIEWER V1.3 - Eero Tamminen - Allows you to view any IMG or XIMG picture quickly and easily. It can even be installed as an application for viewing IMGs. Colour IMGs with more colours than the current screen resolution supports, will be displayed as monochrome. XIMGSNAP - A program by the same author, which lets you save any section of the Desktop to disk. Can be run as a PRG or ACC. CONVECTOR 2 - An excellent program for auto-tracing bitmapped graphics in order to convert them to vector graphics. A great amount of user control is offered over the conversion process and you can even edit the converted images. A number of IMG files are supplied so that you can see Convector s auto tracing at its best. As well as being a stand alone program Convector can hook directly into Arabesque and can be used as a Megapaint module. This demo is fully functional with the exception that you cannot save your vector images. The only problem is that it s in German. I NTERFACE v2.2 - The standard RSC editor in Germany. This program allows you to create and edit RSC files including the graphics within them. It also supports the editing of desktop icons within RSC files including colour icons on the Falcon . Example RSC files are supplied for you to experiment with. An incredible piece of software. Menus are in German but obvious. Fully function with the exception of save. Clip Art in IMG format .

SONOLUMINESZENZ v1.2 by Avena - Another Siliconvention release. Starts off with a raytraced sky then proceeds to a fly past over a computer generated landscape. There s a few underwater animations including fish swimming followed by an impressive animation of a dolphin. This leads to numerous texture mapped objects bees trees human heads and abstract objects rotating in real time. The most impressive effect is a light sourced ball which morphs smoothly into several different objects. There s a couple of raytraced screens too. All in all one of the best animated demos in a long time. The soundtrack s pretty good too. RGB Only Needs 4 Mb. VERSION 2 by Cream - A send up of the Sonolumineszenz demo just for fun. It does near enough everything the main demo does just in a very primitive way. It also occupies only 30K A space filler which is nothing more than a good laugh. version of Calamus DTP (v1.04) by DMC . Allows you to create and print a page. Save disabled. Now loads any PD fonts. Needs 1 Meg. THE NIGEL SCOTT COLLECTION DISK 23 BUILDINGS - A collection of 20 JPEGs created from original photographs by Nigel Scott. One of a series of disks from a professional photographer.

HOLLOW - An animation of two 3D solid shaded objects and a 3D fan rotating freely within a hollow object. Created with CAD-3D Animator. Double-click HOLLOW.RUN to start the animation. Needs 1 Meg. REALM OF DEPTH by Hydroxid - The first demo from a new crew on the Falcon this was their entry into the Fried Bits III demo competition. It starts off with a cleverly animated French flag the proceeds to a beautifully raytraced logo. From there on the superb DSP generated stereo soundtrack starts up and we re off. Realm of Depth features lots of different effects though no new ones. Having said that the ones which are used are very well presented. These include semi-transparent circles 3D solid light sourced objects lots of wibbly wobbly effects and some superb blurred 3D wireframe objects all of which are rotating some even scaling in real time. The demo also features several unique hand drawn and raytraced graphic screens all being of a very high standard. The best effect though is an animation of a 3D raytraced spacecraft. Well worth adding to your collection. RGB Only needs 4 Mb must be run from a clean system as it locks up if ANYTHING is in memory even on a 14 Mb system . BOOTSIE v1.74 by Stefen Krey - An excellent tool for creating customised executable bootsectors. You can have it print up a user defined message, reduced the boot wait time, switch the cache on or off, switch on the blitter, set 50Hz or 60Hz, set the step rate for drives A or B, sound a 'bing' when Auto programs load and even guard against viruses. GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed (Speedo)GDOS fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful for other applications. HOLD IT by Christophe Batholme - Allows you to pause output to the screen by holding down SHIFT, CONTROL or ALTERNATE. Very useful for those TTP programs which exit before you've had time to read the message they display. Can be run from an Auto folder. PROBE HOUSE UNIT CONVERTER V1.0 by William Wong - Probably the most comprehensive weights and measures conversion utility ever written. It converts between every known unit of distance/length, weight, speed, volume, area, density, time, gravitational force, energy, pressure, temperature, light, magnetic induction, electric charge, power and plane angle. All in all, PHUC handles over 120 different types of conversions! It's also GEM based and very easy to use. SUNFIX V1.0 by Roger Burrows - Allows a Sun compatible CD-ROM drive to be used on an Atari which is running Extendos v1.21 or Extendos Pro v2 (or later). WORLD CLOCK V1.0A by Dan Wilga - A map of the world appears in a GEM window. Select where you live and save this as default. From now on, you can simply click onto anywhere in the world and the local time will be displayed. The default time of day is taken from your system clock. Invaluable if you want to make long distance calls without disturbing your friends at unsociable hours! World Clock can be run as a PRG or ACC and is both rescalable to suit and multi-tasking friendly. ICONIFY SERVER (ICFS) by Dirk Haun - Allows you to iconify (shrink down to the size of an icon) any open window in the same way as is possible with Multi-TOS. This program allows you to use iconification under ordinary TOS and MagiC. Currently Kandinsky and a few programs including IconMan and Yukon, support the iconify protocol. INSYNC V1.0 by William Wong - Lets you set up your preferred setting (50hz or 60hz) on a colour monitor. If a program then tries to change that, INSYNC simply resets it to your chosen default. FISHERMAN'S DATABASE PRO by Owen Rogers - A customised database program specially designed for fishermen. It allows you to store information on everywhere you have fished. The sort of information it holds is as follows:- venue, type of water, cost of day ticket, weight of fish caught, method of fishing, best bait, species caught and much more. You can even print out a notes sheet which can be taken with you as a reference guide and added to. This latest version includes a built-in organiser (to store details of forthcoming competitions) and phone book (for storing contact numbers for your favourite fishing tackle shops). In addition, the interface has been improved, making the program much easier to use. An invaluable aid to fishermen everywhere. Colour ONLY, NOT TOS 2 upwards. TOS2GEM - Sends the text output from TOS and TTP programs into a GEM window in much the same way as Toswin does under Multi-TOS. It is currently supported by Dirk Klemmt's POVShell and Arno Welzel's replacement Desktop, "Thing", although more programs are expected to support it in the future. Now in English. 26 FONTS FOR USE IN CALAMUS DTP .

This is the full source code to the Megabang and Power demos by The Lost Boys. You will require Devpac 2 to make use of this disk. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. PEGASUS - A very large Space strategy game. You must explore space and battle against other ships on your travels. Your crew must be kept happy and you must run an efficient ship. The very future of the human race depends upon the ability of the captain and crew of Pegasus to search for and colonise previously uncharted planets. This is a game for those who require an extended challenge rather than a quick blast. Needs 1 Meg. ST REPORT Issues 742-747 - An on-line magazine from The States. Covers the period 25th October 1991 to 29th November 1991. CQD V2.1 by TNT - File identifier. Choose any file and it will be identified as an executable file, ASCII text etc. A list of legal extensions for that file type will also be given. Other info such as the file size, creation date and file header are also given as is the ability to launch the file or unpack it. Useful if a file's extension is wrong and you want to identify it. Now in English. JETFIND V1.31 by Dirk Steins - A very fast file locator which runs as a PRG or ACC. Type the first few letters of a filename followed by wildcards (accepts extended wildcards too) or use the whole name. Specify whether you wish to search the current drive or all drives. Much faster than the TOS 2.06 Desktop's built-in Search facility and more useful too as it lists all finds in a scrollable window. The list can be copied to the GEM Cliboard or all files found can be deleted (useful for getting rid of all those BAK files). Program in English but docs in German although we've done a RUF translation. LOADTIME by Ludovic Rousseau - Displays the time and date each time you start up your computer. If the details are incorrect (eg; when the clocks change), you can manually adjust Loadtime. N_MENMIN v1 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Changes the broken lines (i.e. '-') which separate menu items (on the Desktop and in GEM windows) into solid ones to give a much neater appearance to the Desktop. SOFT PC PATCH by Patrice Bensoussan - Two programs to enhance the usability of SoftPC (MS-DOS emulator for the TT and Falcon). The first allows you to put the emulator files anywhere you wish on your hard drive (they had to be in a specific path previously). The other program is an alternative loader for the system which remembers your Desktop colours and restores them correctly on exit. NAME COOKIE INSTALLER by Carsten Tolkmit - Asks for your name, birthdate etc then creates your own personal cookie. It is then possible for other programs which are Name Cookie aware, to extract this information as required. The docs include programming info on how to do this from your own programs. MAKE UP V1.03 by Frank Behrens - Alllows you to convert ASCII text into hypertext for use with 1st Guide (UTL.5013).

INSTANT by Yves Arrouye - Run this program, then press ALT+HELP to save the currently displayed screen to the current directory in Degas format. Works for all three resolutions. N_ALTHLP by Noud van Kruysbergen - An Auto folder patch and accompanying CPX which lets you save any displayed screen in Degas or (if mono) IMG format by pressing ALT+HELP. The CPX lets you switch it on or off and each saved file is given a higher number if another of the same name exists in the current path. BPR - Sends a binary file directly to the parallel port. Really intended for outputting HPGL files to Deskjets but could be put to other uses. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon.

It allows you to load up to 32 ACCs (subject to available memory) from within a designated folder. ADDRESS V2.20 by Carsten Setje-Eilers - A superb Shareware name and address database package. As soon as you load this one, the presentation hits you right between the eyes! It is very professionally designed and everything can be accessed via icons, drop down menus or keyboard shortcuts. It allows you to perform recursive searches eg; if more than one match is found on the first criteria, it searches on the second, then the third (if appropriate). This can save a lot of time, especially when looking through the Smiths! Lots of search criteria are supported, including the ability to search backwards or forwards, find strings within words (or whole words only) and sort birthdays by date and/or age. Printout is supported via 1st Word printer drivers, so you are almost certain to find a driver for your printer. Data can be exported to the GEM clipboard and you can even dial someone's telephone number direct from their record card, if a modem is attached. Data can be imported or exported in ASCII format or directly to/from any application with supports the Xacc protocol. This version limits the number of entries, register for the full version to remove the limitation. All in all one of the best electronic address books around. MENUINFO V2.42 by Dirk Hagedorn - Displays a caps lock indicator, shows if files have been accessed on your hard drive, auto tops the window beneath the mouse, activates a screen blanker after a specified period of inactivity, forces screen redraws, has a built-in alarm clock facility, opens a table of the ASCII character set and so forth. In addition, MenuInfo can be customised to display the messages you want it to show eg; date/time, mouse coordinates, largest block of free memory etc. You can even specify how you want the time/date displayed and add various other trivia such as TOS version, AES version, Cookie Jar size, MagiC version, scancode of last key pressed etc; in the menu bar too! Runs as a PRG under Multi-TOS or as an ACC under normal TOS. Info is normally displayed at the top right of the GEM Desktop in the menu bar but can optionally be output to a GEM window. MAGIC TOMB by Chris Sharp - You take on the role of a spaceman, the last of an elite group sent to explore the Magic Tombs. All your colleagues have perished and you are trapped within the tombs. Can you survive to find a way out to freedom? You use the joystick to find your way around and to help you avoid the radioactive aliens, many of whom do not even need to touch you to take your life! Passwords are given as you progress and these will certainly help you to access the later levels of the game. Excellent Shareware release. Needs 1 Mb. CLARISSA by Chris Sharp - This is The Supreme Software Group's document displayer. It is similar in concept to RDD and the STOSSER doc displayer but with a few extras. Screen colours can be changed, you have choice of two fonts, music can be switched on or off, you can toggle 50/60 hz display and much more. You can even display Degas pictures and docs compressed with all the popular packers. All this is in addition to its functions as a doc displayer! Give it a try, you're bound to find it useful. Colour only. ASCII VIEW V3.8 by David Seberg - A text file viewer which replaces the Show/Print/Cancel option on the Desktop. Simply install it as an application using TXT or ASC as its parameters and each time you double- click a text file, it will be loaded into ASCII View. It offers most of the common functions found in other text displayers and is mouse controlled. ICONPAGER V1.02 - Displays up to 54 icons per page depending on resolution. The icon formats supported are the IB1 & IB3 types as created by Dr Bobware's ICDRAW. This program is therefore only of use to those who already have ICDRAW. A number of well drawn example icons are included with the program. Please note, this is an icon viewer program, not an icon editor. Colour only. STOS REWRITER by Wacko Software - An example of artificial insanity! Type in a line of text or load an specially tampered with ASCII file. You will then be asked to enter people's names or placenames and the program will jumble everything up. The output file is correct in terms of context but reads back as absolute nonsense and is in most cases hilarious to say the least! Colour only, Needs 1 Meg. Clip Art in IMG format.

UTILS 1 by Roy Burton - A collection of 33 useful utilities which can all be run from a single GEM based shell. They can also be run as individual programs from the Desktop if you are short of memory. There's a database, a text displayer, a disk formatter, a virus checker, a disk utility, a system status checker, scart lead diagrams, an attribute changer, a German/English and English/German text converter, a file searcher, time/date setter, a WP to ASCII converter and several others. Formerly part of the BUDGIE UK range. Support disk for Degas/Degas Elite . 10 customised brushes, 17 printer drivers, 156 customised fill patterns, details of CAD 3D file format and Degas Display. Also on disk is Degas Picture. Uses instructions in SEQUENCE.SEQ file (created in any ASCII text editor) to load in Degas PI1 or PI2 pictures. If the pictures are in a ramdisk you can create your own animations. PHOTOCHROME by Douglas Little - This is the biggest beakthrough in ST graphics since the machine was released. The programs on this disk allow you to convert any IFF (including HAM and 24-bit interlaced HAM), GIF, Vidi RGB, Quick Ray Trace, DKB Ray Trace TGA and REAL-3D ray traced files (with 16 million colours) to a format which can be displayed on your ST. They can be converted to Spectrum 512 format using 512 colours (or 4096 if you have an STE) or PCS format (basically Spectrum 512 with the streaks and holes taken out) or to Super Ham in 4096 colours on any ST. The ultimate format is STE PhotoChrome which displays 19200 from a palette of 32768. All Spectrum type file formats are 'immunised' against sync problems. A slideshow program is provided for viewing all those extra colours. Short of buying a Falcon, this is the graphic breakthrough of the decade! If you want to see the real power of Photochrome, I suggest you get hold of PIC.3306C and PIC.3307C. There are now two versions of Photochrome on disk, one for half Meg and one for 1 Meg machines. The half Meg version will not handle TGA or GIF files. LORD JIM by Joseph Conrad - The complete original text of this novel on disk. This work is out of copyright and may be freely copied.

It gives pinouts for some chips circuit diagrams for other devices contact addresses for chip manufacturers and much more. Much of the hints and tips and technical background information is in German but this is still an invaluable information source if only for the IC numbers and pinouts. Some information is excluded from this Shareware release and available to registered users. As well as info on the various Atari motherboard designs there s info on Atari branded and third party peripherals which connect to your system. Finally there s hints and tips about overcoming common problems like the STE DMA chip bug and modifying the Falcon s sound sub-system. ST-Guide Lite supplied to let you view the previous two files.

FALCNREG - A listing of the appropriate register settings for addressing the Falcon s hardware. It covers the IDE SCSI serial and MIDI interfaces video system keyboard DMA disk controller MFP chip and much more besides. All comments are in German but hopefully the register values will still be of some use. CBHD V5.02 by Claus Brod and Steffen Engel - A Freeware hard disk driver complete with easy to use formatting partitioning and user definable custom setup capabilities. It completely replaces AHDI ICD Utilities or whatever other hard disk driver you happen to be using. So why change your hard disk driver Well CBHD is one of the most modern hard disk drivers for the Atari range of computers. It removes many of the restrictions found in other driver software and it helps ensure cross-platform compatibility and therefore portability of data. Features include - supports up to 24 partitions allows you to partition floppy disks fully supports the SCSI 2 standard fully supports ALIA which allows up to 32 SCSI devices to be connected instead of the normal 8 and ICD host adaptors boots from any chosen partition not just C boot from any SCSI device not just SCSI ID 0 and performs transfers in the background under MagiC. CBHD is an XHDI compliant driver which essentially means that it can read and write to PC formatted SCSI devices provided the partition size does not exceed 32 Mb if it does use BIGDOS on FALC.5509 . CBHD comes with an easy to use GEM based configuration program. It is well documented in ST-Guide format but entirely in German. This latest version supports both SCSI and IDE drives. Falcon owners are warned about possible timing problems when using with SCSI devices only affects some Falcons as CBHD in certain cases transfers data too fast for the machine There s even a circuit diagram showing how to modify your machine should this be a problem MINTAB40 by Petr Stehlik - A modified MiNT kernal for use with the Afterburner 68040 processor accelerator board. It can be used alongside KGMD MiNT MiNT TOS N.AES MultiTOS XaAES Geneva etc. SCRIBE V1.0 by Mauricio Ricaldi - Video titling software.

Binaries only, some docs but no source. COLOURSPACE from Llamasoft - Another top quality Shareware release from Jeff Minter. It goes to prove that Shareware really can work. This time it's a light synthesiser, the followup to Psychedelia on the 8-bit machines and the predecessor to Trip-A-Tron on the ST, which continues to sell well. Colourspace is described by Jeff as follows "The basic idea is simple: the light-synthesiser is an 'instrument' which produces dynamic patterns and colour sequences under the direct control of the operator. The lightsynth is generally used in conjunction with music; it's nice to sit down and mellow out with your favourite sounds and use the lightsynth; yer mates can watch too". Register for only a fiver and get a full printed manual and a copy of Jeff's newsletter. Highly recommended. DECO-ST v4.0 by SID - An impressive update to this popular art package. Deco-ST is Degas compatible and gives the illusion of more than 16 colours on screen. It features all the standard drawing tools and a few extra ones too.

You are then presented with the first menu from which you can select a maze, an alternative main menu and a few other bits and pieces. If you just press Space, this leads you to a screen which resembles the scenery from Shadow Of The Beast. This is the first main menu. Move using the cursor keys or joystick. Each of the 17 doors leads to a demo and Space/Fire enters the demo. At the end of the first menu is a teleporter. Just walk into it to get to the second menu which contains 10 demos. The 11th door leads to the third menu which contains another 6 demos. The menus are superbly done and the demos are fairly mixed. They range from OK to brilliant. Clip Art in IMG format.

The technical info on hardware scrolling and DMA sound on the STE looks interesting. Well worth a read but be warned there is some bad language. CLASSROOM MATHS 1 by Paul Dowers - Four different games designed to teach addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. You can edit the questions to suit the student. I find the program suited to the 5 to 10 age group although some questions need editing as they are a bit tough for this age group. Well thought out program.

NoBI BRAINSTORM - Guide Alfred the snake around the maze collecting all the Yin Yang symbols in order to progress to the next level. On different levels, Alfred grows by a different number of units for each symbol he collects. You must manoevre your way around the maze in such a way so as to avoid letting Alfred bite himself! In some levels Alfred simply follows your commands, on others, you have to plot his path several moves ahead. Various objects can be collected and these may help or hinder your progress. There are also certain puzzles to be solved before some of the levels can be completed. This is a demo with a limited number of levels, the full version (50 levels) being available from the authors. Needs 1 Meg. CBZONE V0.2 - A straight conversion of Battlezone from the arcades of the 1970's! Wireframe graphics, slow moving vehicles, the lot. For those of you unfamiliar with the original, it's a simple case of shooting everything that moves and dodging enemy fire. ISHIDO - A conversion of an old game on the Lynx computer (not to be confused with the Atari Lynx). It is a board game played on a board containing 12x8 square fields and a pouch containing the pieces. You must place all 72 pieces on the board in legal positions. It's quite difficult when you consider that there are only 96 squares and therefore not much leeway for errors. Full instructions on disk. OTHELLO by Petri Sinisalo - A computer implementation of the board game Reversi. Not very difficult to beat, so ideal for children learning the game. NOT TOS 2.06. SPACE SWEEPER by 4HJ - A Minesweeper game with a difference. This one operates in 3D just to make things harder!

It features good music and sound effects throughout and a number of excellent original graphic screens. Features include a roto morf zoom which is modelled on Sanity s Termfin but the graphics change whilst being zoomed and a solid 3D chateau which is rotated and scaled in real time. There s also several gouraud shaded objects which rotate and cut through each other creating a 4D optical illusion. A short but very highly polished demo. RGB Only needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Disable all Auto programs and ACCs first as the demo just fits into 4 Mb ELECTRONIC BANK STATEMENT by David Pullin - Keep track of your bank account with automatic adjustments made for direct debits, standing orders etc. You can now hold up to 3 different statements in memory, each with up to 100 entries. Macros have been implemented as well as screen dump routines and inbuilt disk handling utilities. EBS has a full user manual on disk and was written in STOS Basic. PRO BINGO CALLER by John Davidson - This program follows all the rules of Bingo and can bring the game within reach of those who might not otherwise get the chance to enjoy it.

This shell was made using The Diskzine Construction Kit (DCK) and is very versatile and easy to use. It is an STE and STOS programmers' diskmag but will run on any ST. There's plenty of interesting info here, including a small demo to show you how to keep high scores and details on how to create sample banks to use in STE games. Have a look at the feedback from the first couple of issues in the letters page and you'll see how popular this new diskzine is becoming. There are two tutorials on the Control Extension which explain how to create and use sprites, and how to write an STE game writing. There's even a full game by Les Greenhalgh (author of the extension) to round it off. Need a break from the programming? Well there's even a bit of satire from Colin at GFF who tells us about Politics Simplified! An great diskmag for any STE and STOS user.

A must for Simpsons fans everywhere. POLYFILM by Martin Brownlow - A CAD 3D type program that generates animations like small films. It is both well written and well documented. One of its more impressive features is that the preview rotates happen in real time! There are so many features to this program that it is impossible to go into here. It is quite impressive and worth a look at. Comes complete with examples and its own film file viewer. If you're into 3D then this is for you! Falcon compatible.

LINELNKS - Reference material on the Line Link 144e modem. NOTE:- 520 owners will not be able to use the supplied file displayer for the larger files and will have to view them from the Desktop instead. LETTRIS by A G Smith - This game is based on the classic game of Tetris, but instead of falling blocks, it uses falling letters which must be positioned to make a word. Completed words disappear and points are awarded according to the size of the word. An extensive dictionary is included on the disk. The game is controlled either by use of the cursor keys or by joystick. As in Tetris, it is not as easy as it initially appears. This is a cut down version of the game, the full version being available from the author. MOLECULE by Jean-Etienne Doucet - A new version of the old light rays game from the early days of computers. The player must determine the position of a number of atoms on a board by firing a laser at the board and observing the reaction. Laser rays can either be absorbed, deflected or reflected, depending on how close they come to the hidden atoms. Mouse controlled throughout. A good implementation of this classic game. WHIST by Andrew MacCormack - A computer version of the well known card game where the mouse is used to select the card you wish to play. Even those with no previous knowledge of the game will soon pick up the easy to follow rules. All the games are played against a computer opponent. Sampled Sounds. BASS BRASS DRUMS STRING WIND PERCUSSION EFFECTS . Suitable for use with Soundtracker programs. 280 samples on disk. COURSE ANGLER - A computer simulation based on the popular hobby of course fishing. The game tries to be as accurate as possible, providing a variety of sites from which to fish, a full range of equipment and baits from which to choose, and differing weather conditions to endure. A challenging game, but not for those requiring a quick result. It is certainly more comfortable than sitting by a riverbank on a cold, wet winter's day! AMBIGNEY by CHAOS - A departure from their usual style of demos, this is a musical and graphical extravaganza! An almost endless stream of special effects make this demo one which stands out from the crowd. It is best described as something which could have been created with Trip A Tron but wasn't! In fact it wouldn't look out of place in a disco. Features superb effects created from patterns and great music to go with it. Sit back, relax and enjoy. Clip Art in TNY and IMG format . TNY Files are TRDMRK19-TRDMRK36 (trademarks from earlier this century). IMG files are ART, BABYDEER, BATHROOM, BEAR, BEE, BIBLE, BILL:N, BLUETIT, BOARD, BORDERS, BUBBLES, BUTTERFLY, CANDLE, CARDS, CHOIRBOY, CHURCH, COMPUTER, CROSS, CLIP, DIY, DUSTBIN, EMERGENCY, EMMA, EUROPE, FISHING, FOODSYM, FORK, GARDEN, HARRIER, HOBBIES1, HOBBIES2, HOLLY, INDOOR, KATHY, MUSIC, OWL, PETS, POLITICS, POSTER, PUBTRANS, RIVA, SAINT, SIGNPOST, SPORTS, STEVE, STILE, TIGER, TIM, TOYS, TRANSPRT, TREE1, TREE2, TV-RADIO, UK, WEATHER, WINE, WORLD, YORKIES,ZODIAK. ENCHANTED FOREST - A two player board game. Similar in concept to Ludo but with unexpected extras that could only appear in a computer game. QUIZ KIT - A quiz program which allows you to create your own quizzes. WORD EXTRACT - Input a word (or string of letters) and the program will attempt to make as many smaller words from the letters as is possible. It includes a very extensive dictionary file. Word Extract runs in colour or mono. The other programs are colour only. STOS SLIDER - Select one of 3 levels (3x3, 4x4 or 6x6). This determines how many pieces the picture will be broken up into. There are two pictures (chosen randomly) for each level. The object is to reconstruct the puzzle in as few moves as possible. This program is aimed at younger children. JETPAC by Pete Whitby - Guide the little dude with the jetpac around the screen, collecting bits of rocket (in correct order, Bottom to Top) and drop them over the launch pad to build it. Then do the same for the fuel that drops down until the fuel-gauge is full. Jump in the ship and off you go to the next level. Shoot the weirdos, some take multiple hits, others are indestructable and some are awfully hard to hit! Anything else that falls down from the top of the screen (fuel, ammo, etc...) is there for the taking. Fifty levels of sheer nostalgia and machine code magic. HEADLONG by Gary Wheaton - Goth's tribute to Avina Blue. The ultimate vertical scroller. Navigate your ship through intricate space tunnels. The speed is frantic. The scenery is nightmarish. Your reactions, to survive, must be lightning fast. Another winner from the master. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. DUET V1.0 by Andrew Alich - Allows you to connect up any two TOS based computers (ST, STE, TT or Falcon) to each other and access all drives connected to the network as if they were connected to a single machine. In addition, you can print to a single printer using either machine. Connection between the two computers can be made by means of Serial, MIDI or LAN interfaces. Program and docs in German, but we've done a RUF translation. RSCTRANS v1.0 by Michael Schwingen - Extracts the text entries from RSC files into an ASCII file for the purposes of translation. The translated text may then be replaced into the original RSC. Unfortunately the program and docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation. XTASK V2.13 by Gary Priest - A nice easy to use graphical front end for controlling tasks running under Multi-TOS. It allows you to alter the CPU time designated to a process, kill a process or even put a process on hold temporarily. Xtask includes extensive on-line Help and is a joy to use. SPOOL V2.0 by Andrew Mandel - A printer spooler with an accompanying CPX which allows you to configure it to suit. It runs under interrupt so you can continue to work within your application whilst you are printing. Output may be sent to printer or a disk file. A special flexdisk mode allows the spooler to release the memory used by its buffer back to the operating system when it has finished. BOOTXS V1.0 by Christer Gustavsson - A GEM program which allows you to specify which Auto folder programs, ACCs and CPXs are to be loaded next time you boot up. Very easy to use, but you must run it from the Desktop and reboot, it doesn't run from an Auto folder! A usable demo of version 2 is also on disk. It supports several different data sets and may be run from the Auto folder. FSEARCH V7.4 by Mark Davidson - A file search and pattern searching program. In simple terms, it allows you to search specified partitions on your hard drive for files matching your specifications. It also allows you to search for patterns and words within specified files. The use of wildcards is supported in both cases. Very well presented in an easy to use GEM shell. PROFILE V1.04 by Carl Hafner - Described as the Floppy and Hard Disk Librarian. It reads the directory of your disk and displays it on screen, prints it out or saves it to an ASCII file. Other functions include a built-in text editor, a floppy disk labeller (type in your own text or print the directory contents to the label), a floppy disk formatter and a search facility. Printer support includes the ability to create your own driver using the relevant ESC codes. Tour - An on screen tutorial for new ST users. Cad 2 - object orientated CAD package. It is GEM based but lacks many of the features of the newer CAD programs. TOS 1.0 ONLY. Mini-CAD - a menu driven CAD package for producing 3D objects. Mini-CAD includes C source code. JOPA HOMECARE. An excellent collection of Shareware programs. Curfg - change the shape of the cursor. STD - a date/time setter. Dir2 - a directory printer. Disk-name - change the disk volume label. Gemtree - directory tree lister. Drivemap - tells TOS which drives are connected. RSC View - allows you to view (but not to edit) the contents of RSC files. Renfold - allows you to rename folders. Step Rate - allows you to alter the step rate of your drive. Useful when attaching a 5.25 drive. Both PRG and ACC versions are on disk. Shell X - a command shell. MM Init - allows you to make a backup of Megamax C. Deskcol - change your desktop colours. Onecopy - a single file copier. Set Drive - change the currently selected drive. WHCopy - an ACC which sends screen-dumps to disk rather than printer. Most programs also have full source code provided. SMURF V0.9 by Therapy Seriouz Software - A picture viewer and manipulation package. This early release includes over 60 import modules covering just about every file format imaginable on near enough every computer. It even loads PhotoShop files! Export modules are restricted to Degas, IMG, PPM, TGA, TruePaint and several more obscure formats. Surf's greatest claim to fame is its vast range special effects and filters which include gamma correction, convert colour depth, adjust brightness & contrast, rotate, clip, scale, bumpmap and others. In fact there's over 30 modules in this version. Restrictions in this version include no printing functions and the Smurf logo printed in the centre of your image. Smurf works in any resolution and works best under Multi-TOS, Geneva or MagiC, but it does also run under TOS.This looks like developing into a very powerful package. Needs at least 1Mb, a hard drive although not essential, is recommended. Regrettably there's virtually no docs and the program's in German. TCB Tracker modules with player program. Files are 4TH BEGIN BOP CATCHHIM CHICAGO LOADER MIXTHIS FRAXX7 FSHOUSE FUNKPOWA MOVE PATZGA PERHAPS PIPES SZTOA STRGTRIO TRUE WILDWEST. Source code from The Mindbomb Demo BY TLB . - MAIN MENU - Tim Moss (Manikin of The Lost Boys) has at last agreed to release this phenomenal piece of code which features full hardware scrolling in ALL directions. What's more, it is all explained and thoroughly documented. Music, sprites, scroller and the irreverent monkey, all running at 50 frames a second! RED SECTOR SCREEN - The 'Red Sector' 3D balls demo originally on the Amiga and improved on the ST by Manikin. Includes the famous helicopter routine. Full reflection in the lower border with the MFP chip pushed to it's limit. Great music to accompany. DIGI-SYNTH SCREEN - Quartet music playing with a spectrum analyser. Great 3D star field and the inevitable scroller. Six tunes from function keys including Paninaro, In The Night and The Mindbomb Theme. All sources are fully documented and the sprite and music data are held in their respective folders and an assembled PRG is included, ready to run. Both disks contain bad language. Do not buy these if you are likely to be offended. You will require Devpac v2 or 3 in order to use these disks. Previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. LES DINOSAURS by Parx Software - Another educational game from Parx which follows the same line as Les Animaux on FALC.4552. Once again you have to match the top of the dinosaur with the correct bottom. This variant also includes the colouring book option three stereo tunes and uses three of the eighteen dinosaurs. MULTI BRIQUES by Parx - Nothing educational about this one It s a breakout type game but with a difference. You control four bats and must coordinate their use in order to hit the ball This can be rather confusing to say the least. Multi Briques is for one to four players and obviously gets easier the more players you have. Control can be by keyboard or joystick. A great game which features True Colour graphics. The demo has one level the full version has ten. The Mega Demo by the Megacrew . Good graphics and sound. Many special effects can be accessed by pressing various keys. Needs 1 Meg. ST OBERON V2.05 by Stephan Junker - Oberon was developed between 1985 and 1987 by Niklaus Wirth and Jurg Gutknecht. It is used mainly for teaching purposes and is similar in concept to C, also drawing influences from Modula 2. Like C it is a highly portable language with versions existing for almost all computer platforms. This version is an adaptation of Oberon 2 and runs on any Atari but has the ability to generate 030 and FPU native code where required. It also features an integrated assembler for added speed. Includes extensive documentation (in English) on the Atari implementation of Oberon along with details of the standards agreed for Oberon compilers at a developers' conference. Dirk Haun's programming shell Chatwin is recommended (but not included) for use with Oberon but an alternative (PShell) is included for those who are short of memory or do not have Chatwin. Shareware with registered users getting the library source files, a debugger and other extras. This is a major upgrade of Oberon on LAN.4175. MARGA - A massive demo which just fits into a 4 Meg machine and no more. You can t have any ACCs or Auto folder programs running if you want to run this one The demo was created to demonstrate the use of the Falcon as a multi- media machine. I shows a few photographs of a German actress or model called Marga Mothwurf from years gone by and plays 1920 s style music in the background. Some text accompanies the pictures but I m afraid it s in German which spoils things a bit. Still worth getting as it s a well produced demo. Revision Control System - Ported to ST by Alan Pratt of Atari USA. Maintains files (usually source code, but could be anything) as original version plus changes made. At any time you can go back to any earlier version. Essential tool for serious programmer. Full docs and C source. ATARI EXPLORER ONLINE Vol 2 issues 17 & 18 (dated 2/10/93 and 23/10/93).

ST GLOBE - A most excellent coverage from France (written in English) of almost everything relating to the geography of the world. The programming is excellent, dozens of maps are available covering topics such as capitals, population, money in use etc. over almost the whole of the earth. Questions are available to test your knowledge and answers are readily obtainable once the score has been established, by return to an active menu. Capitals and countries are pinpointed with a flashing cursor. Good interaction between all screens and easy return to the main menu.

LTR BOMBER - A small entertaining game where letters of the alphabet are hidden behind a brick wall with only the top and bottom visible. Complete letters appear at random on a square at the bottom of the screen. Shoot a match with the top letter using the 'bombs' on screen. This is a game for quick reflexes as you will soon find out! Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are BELINDA CRHAMMER FRED LANIGHT LOAD_DIA OXYGENE4 POP SEPTEMBR SILLY SNOWBLND ACES ALPHAVIL ESCAPE GAME6 GURK INTROFF LOTUS2 MUTOGFX SDREAM2. A LITTLE MUSIC DEMO by Wheee The Fibble - This music player recognises 11 music drivers including Rob Hubbard, Mad Max, Lap, David Whittaker etc; and automatically depacks music files compressed with ICE, FIRE, Automation v5 and Atomik 3.5 packers. On disk there are 179 pieces of music from various musicians, all of which can be depacked and resaved. If you load an unrecognised music file, you can try playing it with any of the 11 supported drivers. This allows almost any piece of music to be replayed as most musicians stick to these commonly used formats. MIDI PROGRAMMING in Fast Basic by Kevin Adams - A collection of programs designed to allow you to record and playback through the Midi ports and control the Akai S700/X7000 hardware sample sequencer. MIDI PROGRAMMING in Fast Basic by R C Alden - This program will allow you to create sounds for your Casio synthesizer on the screen using the mouse. These sounds can be stored on disk as single sounds or as a bank of 16. These sounds can easily down loaded to the synthesizer, again as a single sound or as a bank of 16. Sounds may also be loaded up from the synthesizer altered and stored etc. Requires Fast Basic on cartridge OR 1 Meg memory. HOWARD'S BRAIN TEASERS VOL - Another disk of mind-boggling puzzle games from Howard Clarke. DOUBLE TAKE - You start off with six boards, each of which contains 30 mixed symbols. The aim is to turn every square into a blank square. The game alternates between take and swap moves. Take involves removing a matching pair from the same board. Swap lets you swap any two tiles of the same colour between adjacent boards. Each time you remove a matching pair, the same squares on the adjacent board change colour. It is technically possible to clear all symbols, I just haven't managed to do so! 5 GRID SOLITAIRE - Follows along similar lines to Double Take, where you have red and blue pieces and the aim is to change them all to blanks. Even the symbols are the same, but that's where the similarity ends. There's one board in the centre and four on the edges of your screen. You can swap any symbol with another of the same colour provided they are on the same square of the different boards and one of the two is on the central board. However, you cannot swap a red symbol onto a board which already has its blue partner (and vice versa). Swap pieces so there's two of the same symbol (and colour) on the same board and you eliminate both pieces. Sound complicated? It is! SEQUENCER - There's a grid of 160 numbers on the left and 30 numbers on the right. Start anywhere in the grid on the left. Selecting a number on the left grid removes it from the right. You may only move to adjacent squares and your aim to clear all numbers from the grid on the right. However, you can't double back on yourself or select a number which has already been eliminated or you lose. Also, the grid on the left follows a pattern, you must do so too! Seven different levels are available. NUMBER HUNT - Based on the famous Minesweeper games, you have to uncover several rows of numbers, avoiding the asterisks. Points are based on the amount of complete rows of numbers you uncover, hit one asterisk and its all over! There are ten asterisks to avoid in level one, more are present in later levels. VOXX by Hans Achim Mueller - A usable demo version of a 16-band vocoder. So what is a vocoder The original vocoder was a military device used to encode human speech in such a fashion that only someone with a vocoder set to the same configuration could decypher the speech. A modern vocoder allows voice on one channel to be combined with music on another and passed through various filters in order to create a range of specific sound effects something especially suited to the Falcon s DSP. It all sounds very technical but is extremely well explained in the doc and several examples are given as to how to create such effects as singing instruments robot speech soloist singer rhythmic chords and so forth. Although aimed primarily at musicians Vocoder is fun for anyone to play with. Requires a microphone and some sort of synth or hi-fi equipment in order to create the input data. Program in English docs in both English and German. VGA ONLY. Would be very limited in 1 Mb so 4 Mb recommended. SOUND STUDIO v1.76.2 by Studio Capitale - Described as professional digital audio editing software Sound Studio is essentially a D2D recording studio just brimming over with features. It allows you to record 8-bit or 16-bit stereo or mono at resolutions of between 7.035Khz and 49.170Khz. As well as direct audio input you can also record directly from MIDI. Sound Studio has a vast range of editing tools which allow you to cross fade blocks work directly on sound waves view cuts before performing them modify sample volume use the clipboard for mixing and much more. This version is a complete implementation with only one restriction you can t play back your recordings. All editing features are present as is the ability to save your work but you ll have to load it into a package which supports one of Sound Studio s export formats AVR AIF TRK or WAV in order to listen to your masterpiece. Program and docs in both English and French. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. CALLIGRAP.HER - A Deskjet 500 series printer driver for use with Calligrapher. DESKJET - A number of useful files for Hewlett Packard printer owners. The only executables are for Atari and PC versions of a utility which converts an uncompressed PCL file (HP file printed to disk) and compresses it using HP"s compression. The result is files which take up half the disk space and print much faster. Other HP files on this disk include the C source code to Ghostscript drivers for the Deskjet models 520, 540, 560C, 500 and 550 as well as the Paintjet models XL and XL3000. Other documents explain the ESC codes used in the 500 and 600 series printers, commands specific to colour printing on the 550C and explains the process known as "shingling" on the 600 series. These HP files are all of most use either to programmers or those of you who are trying to customise your own printer drivers. IBM2AT41 -Converts files from v4.2 of the PC word processor Word Perfect into the format used by v4.1 of the Atari version of this program and vice versa. If your PC version of Word Perfect is newer than v4.2, you must output the files in v4.2 format. TEXTO V1.2 by Stephane Perez - Text file converter.

Also includes Eassay v2.00 (a basic text editor) by the same author. HTML2TXT V1.0 by Thomas Salin - Converts any HTML file (as found on the Web) into pure ASCII by removing all the custom tags. This program goes further than most in that it reformats the layout of the text to match that of the HTML document. Admittedly it does not handle tables correctly but the ASCII text does give a close match to the original document layout-wise in all other respects. Cyber Punk Demo . Animation and sound. Watch the robot blast you. Similar to Cyberscape on DEM.35C. Needs 1 Meg. Two games for the youngsters . BURGER - By making a clown bounce up from a trampoline, Breakout style, you must clear the screen of horizontally moving hamburgers.

All six digitised pieces are faithfully reproduced well not exactly they re even better now because they re in stereo PLACE TO BE by MJJ Prod - Their first demo on the Falcon. It starts off with a multi-coloured 3D sphere which has hundreds of different colours which are constantly changing. It then progresses to a couple more graphic effects the second of which is superb. A stereo soundtrack plays throughout. You must switch off your machine for two or three minutes to clear all memory locations before running this demo otherwise it tends to crash. ROT3D_BMP - A picture is rotated through 360 degrees using the Z axis in real time. NOT VGA. ROT_BMP - A screen is rotated and scaled in real time similar to Sanity s Termfin. NOT VGA. WARUM by Lazer of Independent - This was the winning demo at the 680XX Coding Convention and it s worth getting the disk for this demo alone It starts off with a complex 3D wireframe being rotated in real time then introduces solid and wireframe 3D objects bouncing around a moving chequered backdrop. A sphere bounces against the walls of a wireframe cube plasma effects are texture mapped onto 3D objects which are being rotated and scaled in real time. There are several other effects which are just as stunning. The greetings are very well presented as are the credits. NOT VGA requires 4 Meg.

POOR MAN S FILE SERVER PMFS v1.03 by Paul L Moreau - A Unix to Atari file server. Sounds odd but what it does is allow you to connect a Unix workstation to your Atari via the RS232 port and access the Unix s hard drive as if it were attached directly to your computer. Files can be copied in either direction. You get an executable for the Atari and a C source file which must be compiled for the Unix.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCED by EKO - This one starts off with a story of a battle set out in Outer Space between the forces of good and evil. The storyline is a bit weak but the accompanying animation is well produced. The battle is re-enacted on a 3D starfield with solid 3D spaceships firing missiles at each other. The animation exits to some demo effects which include several solid 3D objects passing through each other giving the optical illusion of a fourth dimension. Great music and animations throughout. Unfortunately the last screen looks corrupt and you can t exit the demo without resetting. Another great effort from EKO. Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. RGB ONLY.

LETS PLAY SHANGHAI by OXO Concept - A Falcon specific variation of the age old Mah Jong Chinese tile game where you remove pairs of matching tiles in an attempt to clear the board. This demo limits you to one minute of play on each of the 7 different boards. The full version also has a number of extras like a high score table music pause and the ability to load and save games. This version runs in 256 colours and supports the increased resolution of ScreenBlaster if installed. Needs 4 Meg. VISION by L Antique Lascours - An excellent GEM based art package from France. It has all the usual tools and much more including the ability to perform various effects on localised areas of the image. It supports TIFF GIF IMG Degas NEO Art Director and Mac Paint formats. Vision is lightning fast on screen redraws and fully supports SpeedoGDOS and Multi- TOS. It runs in all resolutions but will not load palette based images into True Colour or vice versa. Fully operational apart from Save being disabled. No docs menus in French. 4 Meg recommended essential if using 256 colour or True Colour modes. & Amiga Emulators. The BBC emulator is only partially complete as it has no built-in assembler. The Amiga emulator is merely a demonstration and should not be taken seriously. CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT GOOD HOUSEKEEPING WW2 FOOD GARDENS . 300 400 dpi scans FOR USE IN DTP.

JDEB by Concurrent Systems, Sweden - A source and machine level debugger for use with HiSoft's Lattice C. It has its own built-in window support and allows an unlimited number of windows to be opened. JDEB has a built-in ANSI C parser/interpreter, allowing you to write macros in C and use these for debugging your program. STOS MAPPER V1.1 by Les Greenhalgh - Perhaps the most full featured map editor available. It is fully icon based and works on a similar basis to lego! Maps can be made up from picture files or STOS sprite banks and can be up to three layers deep. In addition, up to 10 maps can be held in memory and easily swapped between. The only limitation is that the maps cannot exceed 319x199 tiles, but the tiles themselves can be any size. RS2L v2 by M Saro - Converts RSC files into C or assembler. Allows conversion with multiple strings so as to accommodate multi-lingual applications. The author even supplies the routines for changing languages! M_CODE01 by Stephen McNabb - The first part in a programming series on 68000 assembly language. More of a collection of useful routines for the beginner, rather than a full blown tutorial. STOS SCREEN SAVER by James Marson - This screen saver runs as a STOS ACB. As well as blanking out the screen after a period of inactivity, it can also be set to blank the screen when you press a pre-defined key and your ST can only be accessed when the correct key is pressed a second time.

GhostScript currently allows you to print your files to Atari SLM, HP Deskjet (incl colour models), Canon BJ series, Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin (incl colour models), Epson ESC P2, Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes it ideal for previewing your work prior to taking it to your PostScript bureau. Alternatively the page (or graphic) can be saved in IMG, PBM or PPM graphic file formats. Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive. SHEK CHEUNG'S AMIGA MODULES Disk 5 . Soundtracker files with player program. MODs are CHASEHQ, CONFUSIO, CRICKET, LIFE, NOBODY, OXYGEN2, STONED, TOXIC. Animation disk using Animatic by Soft Bits and Fast Basic . Several animated demos are included on this disk. All demos will run on a 520ST except Neodistortion which requires 1 Meg. It allows you to load in and manipulate .NEO files. LOTTERY FEVER! - Four programs designed to help you win the National Lottery. LOTTERY 1 runs in mono or colour, the others are colour only. LOTTERY 1 by Jim Davidson - Simply input the number of boards you require numbers for and the program does the rest. You even get asked if the numbers are acceptable (eg; if you have already had similar numbers on the last board, you may wish to try again). Jim won 47 on the draw of 18/3/95 using his program! LOTTERY 2 by Marcus Platt - Consult the 'Oracle' and get a prediction of six lucky numbers. These will then be display on a replica of a lottery ticket! Great graphics and there's even a soundtrack too. LOTTERY 3 by Slip Finger and Amok - A nice simple number generator. It will generate six numbers randomly then you press the left mouse button for another six or the right to exit. Nothing could be easier! LOTTERY 4 by Dave Cobbledick - Yet another National Lottery number cruncher program. This one picks out your six random numbers complete with atmospheric sound effects! LOTTO CHECK by Peter Kerr - This program does not generate 'winning numbers'. Instead, it is for those of you who put on lots of lottery tickets each week. It saves your chosen numbers and you can check the winning numbers against up to 44 sets of numbers within a matter of seconds. Only really useful if you spend more than 15 a week on lottery tickets. PANTHER - Probably one of the most useful utilities in years. It intercepts TOS and redirects file accesses. In simple terms, it allows you to put all your ACCs or RSCs into folders (nested as deeply as you like) and load them up as if the ACCs were in the root directory of the boot drive and RSCs were in the same directory as associated PRGs. It also supports the use of file aliases, but if you don't understand that you'll still appreciate its use for cleaning up your root directory. AUTOEXEC JUTEBOX by Klaus Pedersen - Allows you to alter the order of Auto folder programs. It also features its own programming language which lets you execute a named program on completion of bootup, play a sample on bootup (STE and TT only) or in fact do one or two other perhaps less significant things. MUSIC COMPILATION 3 by Independent - Another excellent compilation of 7 original tracks by members of Lazer Animal Mine and Risk. Each tune seems to take forever to load so you are advised to install this demo onto your hard drive for speed. Having said that the quality is amazing and well worth the wait. RGB or VGA. JUST FUN Part A by DBA - The second demo from a new crew. Features four sub demos and interviews with each member of the group, which are selectable by joystick or keyboard. A decent GFA Basic demo. KDOODLER - An art program which supports all 3 resolutions. It includes many features like importing various picture formats, colour fills, up to 4 working screens, image mirroring, magnify, image ghosting plus much more. 24 page manual on disk. Various IMG & AIM utilities - These programs are designed to be used with Seymor-Radix's IMG Scan & AIM. They allow you to convert IMG to AIM and vice versa, convert AIM to Postscript format and convert raw data from the early IMG scanner to AIM format. BLASTER - Shows all Degas or Neo pictures on all selected drives matching the current screen resolution. MANDEL SHOW - A fractal graphics generator. Bit_Img - Converts bit images into Degas or Neo format. PI3_2NEO - Converts Degas PI3 files into NEO format. TT MANDEL - A Mandlebrot generator for the TT. SPURT - A prototype Spectrum 512 colour ray tracing program. MACVERT - This program strips the MacBinary header off a MAC GIFF file. TEXSKULL - A drawing program. No docs but info within the program. JIGSAW by The Dolphin Group - This is a computer adaptation of a traditional jigsaw puzzle. Simply scroll through the pieces on the demo puzzle select them and position them on the board. You can view your progress on the full puzzle at any time. This demo comes with just one puzzle and has numerous options disabled. The full version lets you load up different puzzles save unfinished puzzles for resumption at a later date rotate pieces and so on. Great fun. OUTSIDE - Have you ever wanted to use your hard drive as extra memory like Windows does on the PC Well here s the answer. Outside is fully user configurable and pages memory overflow to and from your hard drive as required. The demo insists on being run from Drive A and using Drive D as its swap partition. It allows you a maximum of 2 Megabyes of virtual RAM. The full version can be run from any drive will swap memory to or from any other drive and can give you up to 512 Megabytes of extra memory subject to disk space. Program and main doc in German an English help file is included. PIXART by Omikron - A demo version of an art package which is Falcon enhanced and runs in any resolution. It can load and save disabled in this demo in IMG IFF TIFF PCX ESM Degas and its own format depending on resolution. A large number of tools are available and the program is very similar in style to Calamus with the main icons across the top each leading to another menu of icons. Pixart also accepts input directly from scanners and graphic tablets. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German. SCREEN BLASTER - A useable demo of the software which comes with the hardware add on which increases the screen resolutions to a maximum of 1152x852 dependent on your monitor. It also allows a virtual screen of 1280x1024 on any monitor. Although the demo is an early version and has a number of features disabled it is useable and gives you an insight into the capabilities of the full version. XENOMORPH by Lexicor - A commercial raytracing package which uses a GEM interface and has been Falcon enhanced. A number of demo script files are supplied for you to try out. Although the demo says Phoenix Render you will probably know it better as Xenomorph. It saves out its files in Degas GIF SPC or TGA format depending on your preference. As far as I can make out it will only view the wireframe objects and let you render them. You cannot edit your own scenes. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are BOAT1-BOAT3, BUSES1-BUSES4, BUTERFLY, COPTER1-COPTER5, HARLEY, HAUNTED, OLDTRAIN, PIC1-PIC4, PLANE1- PLANE6, RABBIT_1, RABBIT_2, SHIP1-SHIP7, TELEKOM1-TELEKOM9, TELEKOMA- TELEKOMC, TRAIN1-TRAIN4, TRUCK1-TRUCK4. CAVE MANIA by Extream - Perhaps the finest Boulderdash clone to date Running on an 80 column overscanned screen the caves are massive. Rather than just collecting the gems and avoiding being crushed by the rocks you face new challenges. Each cave has different nasties to avoid or natural phenomena like a rising water line to avoid. The rules are different too sometimes the nasties guard the gems other times they chase you Cave Mania scores in graphics sonics and gameplay. This Shareware version features a single level containing five caves. The full version has 100 levels For one or two players. Needs 4 Mb RGB ONLY. OFFWORLD SECURITY by Gregory Brown - A fast action shoot em up which looks very similar to Defender but with you controlling an astronaut with a jetpac rather than a spacecraft. Rules are as per defender i.e. shoot everything that moves and avoid being hit impossible . Superb soundtrack and atmospheric in-game sound effects. Needs 4 Mb. BOMBAZAI - Sort of similar to Super Bomberman and Dynabusters. You wander around a maze planting time detonated devices and taking cover before they explode. The aim is of course to blow up walls and ultimately your opponents. For 1 to 3 players although 1 player mode is really more for practice than anything else for obvious reasons. LET'S SPELL FIRST FIVE HUNDRED WORDS INTRO - Another quality Shareware product from J and R Dunn. Please read the manual before attempting to use the program as an entry code is given. A screen display of an apple, a drill, a pig and lots of sundry items leads (on one column only) to a relevant second screen. The apple is related to a greengrocer's for example. Clicking on various objects on display requires that each one be spelled out in English or French. Letters are selected from a grid at the bottom, complete with French accents. This is coupled to a voice, spelling out the letters. Diction is very clear and the graphics are good. A wrong answer is followed by an automatic spelling of the word. Certainly enough scope to stimulate interest in paying out £1O for the full 5OO word program which is of a professional standard. Some of the French words are not in frequent use so you can learn as you go. Well recommended. NOT TOS 2 upwards. S-FALC.4856 124 BEERS LATER DEMO by TRIO - Starts up with an impressive piece of guitar music followed by a couple of great graphic screens. This is followed by zooming in and out of a rotating screenin much the same fashion as Sanity s Termfin. Other effects include a light sourced 3D cube a 3D tunnel and a texture mapped 3D cube with pictures of the front covers of comic magazines on its faces. There s a short walk through one of the coder s houses and a drive across a Nintendo Mode 7 type animated landscape. The entire demo runs in overscan mode and both graphics and sound all 4 Megs worth are great throughout. The demo ends rather abruptly with the credits screen where the background music gives way to a sing song in French Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. RGB ONLY. Z*NET issue 498 - Read about Atari's multi-million dollar loss on "discontinued operations", all about the latest software from America, DC Squish 2, brand new Calamus SL modules, the Marcel word processor, Outline Art 3 and lots, lots more. ATARI EXPLORER ON-LINE issue 93-08 - This issue has a definite review of the new Atari Works database section, information on Cubase Audio, a report on the new Falcon products launched at CeBit, a couple of real-time conferences and news of Steinberg's "Multibase", essentially Cubase with video/animation! MISCELLANEOUS DOCUMENTS - A mass of useful information on the Falcon covering such things as connecting to monitors, using Photo CD and a new 32-bit graphics card. Other topics include Kodak's writeable CD drive, GFA Basic programming problems and the press release for the forthcoming Atari Jaguar.

VOICES #1 - Dave Cobbledick of Dunces Cap Software brings us the first issue of this multi-format diskzine aimed at Atari, Amiga and PC owners. Interaction between the formats is the aim, with various articles ranging from "Life after Death" to the future of the PC. Blondes get a going over with a large jokes section just for them and you are shown how to soup up a Colt 45. There's a discussion on starting a programmers' union! With American advertising bloomers to giggle at, you find that this issue offers just the right blend of humour and seriousness? Star Trek gets an inevitable airing and stories about UFO's abound. All formats are invited to VOICE their opinions on any of the subjects or start a new article. With interaction being the main aim of VOICES, you need to get hold of a copy now! Another Modula 2 compiler . This one is German although it is documented in English as well. Needs 1 Meg of memory to run. WORLD CUP by Paul Sharples - For budding Graham Taylors everywhere! A football manager game in which you must try to get one of the four home countries successfully through a qualifying group and make it to the World Cup finals in the U.S.A. You control the make-up of your squad and decide on the playing tactics amongst other things. Having qualified you can try to win the World Cup itself. The game is totally mouse controlled. Aimed specifically at those interested in strategy and statistics. This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. MAGGIE 25 - As they hit their quarter century the Falcon version sees a new shell. It features animated icons a built-in game lots of hidden features and the usual jazzy graphics and well composed soundtrack. A feature I particularly like is the fact that Maggie remembers the articles you ve already read by changing their colour like html links . So what about the content The news section is jam packed with news and rumours about various new releases and projects in development. These include an NES emulator for the Falcon the latest on the Phenix Falcon clone almost 20 new games released or in development more than a dozen new demos and the Godscape Internet Browser to mention a few. Games reviews include Blum Doom v0.74 Mole Mayhem Tetris II Strikes Back Jetset Willy Whippersnapper s Race Corsair Lotus and Lands of Fantasy. Demo reviews include Amok Liquid Sunshine Surprise Senior Dads Xmas 128K Intros Ribbit and others. Serious software includes CAB 25 UVK 8.0 Flaysid 2.0 Atoric 0.4 Suzy B s Software Treasury Vol 2 Crawly Crypt and All Things Falcon. Other features include the Maggie Awards 1997 Dino dudes cheats interviews with Sinbad of Effect and Steve Bagley reports from the Birmingham London and Paris Atari Shows lots of humorous pieces some music and film review and a very lively mailbag. With 93 articles there s hours days worth of reading material in this issue. One of the best Maggies to date 43 PD fonts for use with Calamus DTP done using the font editor . Some are partially complete fonts, others are full implementations. Fonts are APPLE, ART DECOY, BULLET 15, BULLET 25, BULLWINKLE, BULLWINKLE COM, CAMELOT, CELTIC, CLASSICAL, CUPERTINO, CURSIVE, DALI, FACADE, FURA, GREEN, HEBREW, MANVILLE, MATH, MONROE, OBLIQUE, OLD ENGLISH, OLD IRISH, PEIGNO, PIONEER, PITTSBURG, SILIC, STEEL NIB, STILLETO, WOLFTRAP, ARC 10, ARC 25, ARC 90, CURSIVE, DATA, NOTEN, ROMAN BITSTREAM, SCRIPT, SEG, SNUF, TIMES ROMAN, GAUDY, STRADIVARIOUS, STUDY. BURMESE - A Burmese Astrology program. You must autoboot this disk in order for the customised fonts to work. CHINESE - A Chinese Astrology program designed for use with Derek Walters' books. FORECAST - An extensive program for producing lengthy horoscope texts. A useable demo which only works for March-May 1991. HOROACC - An ACC which will produce daily horoscopes. Saves your birth data to disk to avoid re-typing each day. Chinese is colour only. The others run in med or high res. OVERLAY by Overscan - This program runs in all video modes and allows you to combine pictures and text to form stunning presentations. The text can be solid filled or texture mapped. A number of example animations are included on disk along with a player program. The demo allows the importation of text and graphics but you obviously can t save your work. Unfortunately although the program is in English the docs over 90k s worth on disk are in German. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. ULTIMATE MUZAK DEMO VOLUME V by PHF - Another in this series of Atari music complications. Like the others, it's a case of selecting the music you want to listen to, from a main menu. If fact there's seven menus to choose from, each with its own selection of tunes. There's a myriad of lines which pulsate in time with the music and weird colour cycling effects accessed by clicking the 'yikes' button! It ends with digitised mugshots of the PHF team and a long scrolltext. CLIPIT VOLS 7 8 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format. Files are RABBIT READ01 READ02 READ03 ROBOT01 ROCK01 ROLLER RUNNING SCOOTER SCREEN SIGNPOST SPACESAT SUN01 TAXI01 TAXI02 TENNIS01 THINKER TOAST01 TREASURE TREE01 VAN01 WHBARROW WHEELCH XROADS BOXING FENCING HORSE MUSCLE01 MUSCLE02 MUSCLE03 START STONEAGE WATERSKI WEIGHTS1 WEIGHTS2 WEIGHTS3. Galtan 6 Demo - Fly along a graphically excellent landscape steering your space craft into any one of five docking bays. Each docking bay is a demo. Excellent sound and graphics throughout. NOT STE. Clip Art in IMG format (HOKUSAI WOODCUTS). Files are BATS, COCKDOGS, DANCE__1, DANCE__2, MOUSE, DANCE__4, DARUMA, EAGLE, FATPEPL1, FATPEPL2, HAWK, HORSNOW1, HORSNOW2, IMMORTAL. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FLICK3, FLICKHOL, FLICKNBI, FLICKNEB, FLICKNEI, FLICKNER, FLICK_HO, FLORBON, FLORBON-, FLRENC, FLUNDER. This program is the followup to DKB Raytrace by David Buck . The first version of POV Ray Trace appeared on the PC. The Amiga, Mac and Falcon soon followed. This two disk set comprises of the ST version. The files have all been compressed using Vincent Pomey's ST Zip v2.2 and will have to be decompressed to several blank disks (or preferrably a hard drive) before use. ST Zip is easy to use but I've included the docs anyway so you should have no problems.POV Ray Trace must be run from a CLI. A sample startup file for Gemini's Mupfel is included (TRACE.MUP). If you have Mupfel, simply type TRACE filename.ext. If not, it should be easily enough adapted for use with other CLIs. You can set the screen dimensions in TRACE.MUP to suit. If you're like me and hate CLIs, you can use POVSHELL by Binaris (on the other disk). It lets you control POV from a GEM based interface. The only problem is that it supports some extra functions only available on later versions of POV. I'm trying to track down a later version of POV at the moment, which has all these extra features. The Hoby One Demo by The Voyagers . Features ten rather impressive sub demos, one of which is for the STE only. - This disk is mainly a support disk of utilities for Super Packet users . ANALYZER - Run after a system crash to find out why the system hung up or crashed. AUTOPATH v1.2 and v1.4 - This German program is useful in editing the Paths file of Super Packet. It has the ability to set up automatic routes to various stations through the 3 main types of nodes (Baycom/NetRom, Flexnet or TheNet) and in any combination. COMMAND - A Command Line Interpreter which is used with the DOS command of Super Packet. DIGIMAP - A 95k file which contains digipeating routes to European BBSs. SPFONTS - A number of fonts which can be used by Super Packet to customise it to your preference. SPTALK - This is an add-on to Super Packet which is like Superkiss for Amiga/PC. It gives Super Packet a voice! You will need to record your own phonetic alphabet using a sampler, and then you can sit back and listen as your ST talks to you! STOSSER Issue #3 (June 1993) - STOSSER, the magazine written by STOS users for STOS users is with us again. Amazingly, the promise for it to be a monthly magazine has been upheld, which highlights the authors' consistency and commitment, two values which many disk magazines strongly lack. Once again there is a new interface. The idea of text being automatically scrolled up the screen is still here, except this time it scrolls inside a speech bubble! Another novel idea is the "nerves" game on the main menu, which tests exactly how long you spend coding! Articles in this issue include a critical opinion about Atari, a concise guide to printers and a profile of one of the authors. The reviews section covers Top Of The Pops (not the TV program!), Kozmic 2, Chunnel, League Soccer, STOS Adventure Creator, Master Doodle, Funschool 4 (5-7's) and the beginners guide to STOS. All of the regular columns are continued, the learning STOS column, the Robotics column etc. The understanding variables in STOS, column is concluded in this issue. As usual, the disk is crammed with STOS source code. Don't let the idea that this magazine is not "professionally" produced put you off from ordering it, because it really is a must read for STOSSER's everywhere! The Synthetic Visions by The Art Machine. Five sub-demos, one of which leads to a game! Space starts main demo then use the left and right arrow keys to select the demos and Space to load them. GER2ENG V3.0 by Carlos Varela - This currently rates as the best German to English translator available (Aug '93). It has a huge vocabulary of over 27,000 German words and their English equivalents. You can browse through its four dictionaries or translate ASCII text files. Once the translation has finished, simply look up the words (in a German/English dictionary) which weren't recognised. Double click the word on screen and enter its English equivalent. The word is replaced and saves out with the rest of the translation. This program usually manages to translate over 70% of words in lengthy German text files. Needs 1 Meg. OMEGA II by Dr T's Music Software - This disk contains demo versions of the Omega II MIDI sequencing suite of programs which are now available from Key Audio Systems. Its features include 48 track drum machine recording with continuous overdub, interactive track muting, punch in and punch out, live editing and multiple cue points. It supports both Midi Machine Control and Midi Time Control. This disk consists of demo versions of the Keyboard Control Sequencer, the Tiger, Song Editor and Mixer MPE modules. If you're thinking of buying the full package, this disk is well worth checking out. DOMINOES PRO v1.2 by Gary Wheaton - As far as we know, this is the first real game of dominoes on any computer! Uses a double nine set of dominoes. Plays a nine domino per player game. Plays matchplay type singles games. Uses standard legal move techniques, i.e. does not cheat. Up to five players allowed. Unusually sedate fun from the master of the exploding pixel. This game is a former BUDGIE UK title. FLY TO FLY by The Eagles - Another multipart demo. Like so many others, you have to go through each screen sequentially as there is no facility to skip past screens. Effects include dots in space which form into shapes, vectorballs creating yet more shapes, and keftales. There are also moving shaded lines and precalculated spinning shapes which have pictures of a face on their sides. The electronic microscope is a very clever screen where a molecular breakdown of an atom moves around the screen. Fly To Fly features lots of original graphics which include pictures of pigs dressed as ninjas, several pictures of women (fully clothed!) and other miscellaneous pictures. There is also a tune playing away in the background all the time. The credits wind up this demo proper but there's also a reset demo which contains the addresses of the coders. ATARIPHILE 4 - Special Christmas bumper edition which occupies an HD disk All the usual Philes News Comms Adverts POV tutorial etc are there plus a new regular MidiPhile. Reviews include MagiC 5 Papyrus 4 Infodedia Videlity Syquest EZ-Flyer 230 Destruction Imminent and the final part of the Positive Image review. There s advice for advanced players of Frontier Elite II plus many other articles and a special feature in collaboration with Atari Computing magazine on replacement desktops including Ease MagiXDesk Neodesk and Thing. Not to be missed is an excellent feature on multi-tasking which explains all you ever wanted to know about the subject and includes reviews of MagiC and Geneva the leading multi-tasking OS s. Other miscellaneous bits include articles on Scoring In Cubase Starting Out In Midi Artificial Intelligence and piece on Al Goold s favourite ACCs and much more... As usual this issue s absolutely brimming with everything Atari and up to its usual high standard. Written in HTML you will require the CAB Browser on FALC.5661 . A digitised animation of a girl shaking her enormous assets about. The V8 Crew Music Demo. 99 pieces of music taken from various games. FLEABYTE - An ACC which provides a calculator in the form of a ruler which will handle all the functions of a normal Casio FX e.g. trigonometry, powers, inverses etc. Listings are also given in GFA Basic 3.07 for programs which will calculate molecular weights of chemical compounds and give the physical constaints for Farady's law, Bohr's law etc. Essentially the listings are chemical and physical databases. Two demos are available for balancing standard chemical equations and for conversion to and from Roman numerals. Suitable for Advanced and A level students in these subjects. WORMHOLE - Another accessory which runs in medium or high res. There are two associated accessories - W1 and W2 and both of these should be run in conjunction with 1st Word Plus or Word Up. Fundamentally both capture information from an application on a CRT, process it and deliver the result at the cursor position in the original program. Well documented and, once more, automatic calculation of molecular weights from stored data is possible. MATRICKS - A Shareware linear Algebra package for matrix operations which allows a 37 x 37 array to be assembled! The program is very well presented in concept but is definitely for College or University students who are well versed in matrix mathematics e.g. toplitz matrices and schur complements etc. All information must be typed in from the keyboard or selected from a list of commands. Provided that you know the data required for each command, the matrix will be completed for you. Well documented and highly recommended for mathematicians. PLOT 1.72L - From the Physics Dept. of Dalhousie University in Halifax (USA). This program runs in medium or high res and is capable of plotting a large variety of mathematical functions entered from the keyboard. Data may also be read from disk files and hard copy is available. The Help key provides essential information though a sound knowledge of maths at College/University level is required to make full use of the program. A well documented program which allows the graphs to be saved in Degas format. PLOT 1.5 - From the Dept. of Physics at the University of Kent (UK) is a program similar to Plot 1.2. All options may be selected with a single key press. Again, the requisite equations must be known, requiring a sound mathematical background at a higher level. It is good to see more advanced programming of this and the above appearing in PD. Ghost - A sine wave scroller. Extensive use of colour and no borders on screen. Alphanumeric keys change the music. Hardsell - Impressive hardware scrolling on any ST. Monolith - An impressive sound and graphic demo which claims to have 3 hidden screens. I find one then get returned to the Desktop. Can you do better? Turbine - An animation of a turbine in 3D. Ancool - An impressive demo by An Cool of TCB. Won't run on machines with more than 1 Meg IMA_1 - The first intro coded by IMA. Jaws - An impressive intro by Level 16 and The Replicants. Sync - Wobbly scrollers, sine wave scrollers etc. TCB - An impressive 3D intro on a starfield. Tintin - An intro from V8. Xmas - The Christmas 1990 Demo by The Replicants. TeX On The ST. This is a typesetting program and comes on six disks. It is recommended that you use this program with a laser printer although it will work on a dot matrix printer. A minimum of 1 Meg memory is needed although you will be somewhat limited. TeX is very memory hungry so be warned. You must have at least one double sided drive although two is desirable and a hard disk is an added bonus. TeX has its own fully programmable language which you will need to become familiar with. These programs are very complicated to use but well documented. INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SPORT - Using the keyboard, you must guide your car round all ten tracks in this highly challenging game. Completing each track takes you to the next. Have you got what it takes to be the next Nigel Mansell? OXYD - A challenging game where you must try to guide a marble through a number of mazes in order to light up pillars. The levels range from the fairly straightforward to the extremely elaborate and a variety of surfaces either help or hinder your progress. Not a simple game but one which should provide long term enjoyment. Highly recommended. files with player program . Files are BALLJAM, H-DANCE, IVORY, MADNESS and TOXOPLAS. RAYTRACED PICTURES IN GIF FORMAT - Files are CAVERNE CHROMGFX COLONNE DRAG FRACTALE GUARDIAN HURRICAN LAMPE MOMIE NEOMILO NOTREAL PLANTE TERMINAT. Viewer supplied. INFO '90 text files from Usenet - Covers period from 23 Feb 1990 to 5th Apr 1990. NOS V0.42 by David Nash - Full C sources to AtariNOS the program which opened up the Internet to Atari users. This is the version used in Demon Internet s original Atari access software and subsequently as the on-line portion of the Oasis 1.xx software before being superceded by ICE Oasis 2 and STiK WWW Pack . Anyone wishing to program software intended for accessing the Net could learn a lot from these sources. DSP_DOCS - A collection of reference works on Motorola s DSP56001 as used in the Falcon. These include the full DSP56001 manual a list of DSP56001 mneumonics and registers and examples of how to use them info on the Falcon s DSP port and much more. Over 600K of DSP docs in all DSPLIB by J Lietzow - DSP XBIOS library handling sound and DSP-IO functions with Turbo C or Pure C parameter passing. Digisound Demo and STE Videomatique . Digisound - Select a number of short stereo samples to play from a menu. Videomatique - Load up three PI1 pictures and watch the STE's hardware scrolling at its best. Source code in GFA Basic for both programs. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. HP LASERJET II SOFTFONT DOWNLOADER V1.1 by Richard Morris - Allows you to download soft fonts to any HP Laserjet II or compatible. Five fonts are supplied for you to try out. In automatic mode, it works from a script file, in manual mode you can get a printout of each font and install any font as default. CALCUL by Ondrej Spanel - A calculator which runs as a PRG or ACC. It supports all common arithmetic and trigonometrical expressions and (when running as an ACC) allows the results to be sent directly into your spreadsheet, word processor or any other GEM based application which supports keyboard input. BOOTMENU V2.15 by Fred Nicklisch - Yet another boot manager. This one lets you keep all your DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF files and CPXs in folders, create customised setups which can be easily selected, and you can even configure the program layout to a certain extent. You can set the time/date, specify the extension for disabled files and select the sort mode. You can even copy any file to any other location, making it ideal for setting up those custom designed ASSIGN.SYS files for your various GDOS applications. One of the better boot managers. BOOTSAVE V1.01 by Matt Smith - Allows you to store the executable bootsectors of games or demos in a library file. Then, if disaster strikes and the original bootsector gets damaged, you can use this program to restore it from the library file. Please note that the program is supplied without any bootsectors, you need to build up your own library. TO DO V1.01 by Reiner Rosin - Described as an alternative to cluttering up your desk with bits of paper! I allows you to assign lists of things to do. Each list can have as many items as you want and the individual items can be given a priority value from 1 to 3 and can be marked with a tick (or removed) when done. Lists can be output to screen, printer or clipboard or edited at any time. Probably the best invention since Post-It notes!

BEYOND DEADLINE by New Core - A lesser know demo crew with a dentro which dates back to 1993. The screens contain mainly spinning spheres forming shapes, snakes, etc. There are also some pictures with fractals added around the borders. One of the ST's older effects, the vertical rasters with scroller, makes a return in this demo. The upside down screen is in the words of the coders, what happens when you read Atari Internals upside down! It features a multiple layer scroller with music. This is the only major effect which has not appeared in an ST demo recently. However, having said this, the demo does have some good music and several scrollers to read (even if it does mean turning the monitor upside down!). AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are BEAT_X_6, CANT_GET, DWILLIAM, GREAT1, MAG_P_I, TELL_US, THATSALL, WOMACK. PROWLER ISSUE 1, MARCH '96 - This diskmag is an Atari console based publication and is in HTML format as used on the World Wide Web. The files are viewed using the CAB browser (not included due to lack of space, you can use the copy on DMG.5647). This issue is full of information such as FAQ's, Cheats, Letters, For Sales, News, Reviews and Previews. Here's a quick run down:- News includes the Atari WWW site, Jaguar support on CompuServe, the JTS Atari merger and an article on Jeff Minter by Jeff Minter! Previews include Battlesphere, Fight for Life, Hover Hunter and Penguins. Reviews (around 20of them!) include Defender 2000, Fever Pitch Soccer, Highlander, NBA Jam, Battlemorph, Rayman, Vidgrid and White Men Can't Jump. There's info on what's currently under development and a Hardware section which reviews several add ons and features several DIY electronics projects. Last but not least there's a Lynx section with over a dozen reviews including APB, Blue Lightning, Dinolympics, Double Dragon, Awesome Golf, Chequered Flag and California Games. There is so much to see in this publication it would daft to miss it. PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally arrived on the Atari thanks to Doug Little's porting of the PC sources. This latest version is downwardly compatible with POV 2.2 but with dozens of new features and bug fixes. Amongst the new features is the ability to render a screen preview when running on a Falcon. Another major improvement is the incorporation of the faster routines from FTPOV. Like v2.2, this version features hundreds of scenes for you to render yourself, all grouped according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual's huge, running to over 800K and is very well written, starting out with an easy to understand introduction to ray tracing, then moving progressively to the more advanced stuff. It also includes several detailed tutorials, all aimed at different ability levels. All support files for these tutorials are also included in the package. In addition there are a few Atari specific files detailing the Atari specific features of POV 3. You can run POV 3 from a CLI or from Dirk Klemmt's POVShell which has been included for your convenience. We have also included Dirk Klemmt's POV Tools which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones and spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects. Please note that this package does not include the source code. There's over 6 Mb of data crammed onto these disks! Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive (if you don't have a hard drive, we recommend the POV 2 package on ART.4514, ART.4515 & ART.4516). This is the 68000 (i.e. ST) and 68000 + FPU (an optional extra in the Mega ST/Mega STE) version. Versions for 68030/040 processors are also available (in the Falcon catalogue). MAGGIE 21 - Released at the Birmingham Atari Show in September 1996, this issue has a distincly 8-bit flavour with reviews of a SID Chip music player, a CD-ROM of Spectrum software, reviews of classic Spectrum games and a MOD compilation of C64 tunes playing throughout. Games (p)reviews include Radical Racing, Bad Mood, Spice, Cosmic, Ganymed, Willy The Adventurer, Misermind, Kakanoid (all Falcon), ESLA League 3, Island Strike (both ST), Beast, Dracula (both Lynx). Demo (p)reviews include Impulse Demo, An Cool Demo, Ice Intro, Therapy Demo, Therapy 96K, EXA 96K, Flames Intro, Earth Intro (all Falcon), Tyranny (ST) and a look at some ZX Spectrum demos! Other reviews are of Screenspain, AVI-QT Player, Smurf and the Citizen ABC printer. Programming looks at ST demo secrets, CD-ROMs (all you'll ever need to know about them), how to program a Shareware game and how to use the extended joystick ports from assembler. There are of course all the regular features such as news (Positive Image v1.1, Webspace, Atari Computing, new ST viruses, lots of scene news and more), the Silly Sector, Adverts, Interviews, Film & Music reviews, Correspondence and the Quest. Another excellent issue, well worth a read. SMALL BITS FRIED BITS - A collection of demos created at the Fried Bits III convention as well as several other short demos. The quality is surprisingly good considering how small these demos actually are. BOUND 4 - A ball with a cartoon scene inside it is bouncing around on a backdrop of an underwater scene with whales. Music plays throughout. BURNING WATERS by Chaos Engine - Starts off with an odd scene which resembles the gas burners of a cooker in slow motion It then moves to other graphic effects one of which features a bouncing whirlpool effect. DEHN - A rather amusing animation of a face distorting in weird and wonderful ways. DOOMINO by STAX - Described as a preview of a 3D engine. It is a fast moving fly past through a railway station with moving trains armed militia and texture mapped walls. Could this be the basis of the next Doom clone TERRORISE YOUR SOUL - Probably the best demo on the disk. It starts off with spinning tunnel-like effects then moves onto rotating holograms created from dots. Other effects include fractal trees growing 3D objects on a rather garish background an animation of a Rubiks Cube puzzle and several unusual effects. The best part is a Newton s Cradle type animation on a plasma-type backdrop. Very well produced demo. All demos need 4 Meg except for Dehn which runs on 1 Meg. All run on RGB or VGA except for Terrorise Your Soul which is RGB ONLY. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 16 - Contains the following fonts:- UNIVERSE LIGHT, UNIVERSE LIGHT ITALIC, UNIVERSE BLACK, UNIVERSE BLACK ITALIC, UNIVERSE TOPIC BLACK, VAG ROUNDED, VAG ROUNDED BOLD, VAN DYKE, VIVACE, X-MAS, YOUNG ONE, ZAPPY CHANCERY, Z BATS 1, Z BATS 2, Z BATS 3, Z BATS 4. STEN #12 - The STEN team return with another feature packed edition. Articles include a complete low down on the FALCON, a comprehensive tour of the 68030 chip, more technical projects which include inputting data through the parallel port. I'll leave you to read about the Womblitizer project yourself! There's a surprisingly helpful tutorial on assembly which includes source code and the STOS column features as usual. A lot of modem related stuff features in this issue, including three files on hackers and a few useful pointers on setting up a BBS. Reviewed software includes Circuit Designer 1 & 2, Easy Text PRO, HPChrome and some budget software. General articles include the final chapter of the SWSL saga, a very long transcribed UFO discussion, Einstein's Unified Field Theory and much more. THE EXPRESSO DEMO by Adrenaline of THK - A six screen (plus reset) demo mostly in GFA Basic. The demos are of a reasonable quality for GFA Basic. By the way, every time the writing turns yellow you have to press SPACE to continue! Turns off your machine for at least 30 seconds before running this one or it's liable to lock up on some screens. The Cobra screen is pretty amazing. STE ONLY. THE ON-LINE HACKER JARGON FILE V3.0.0 - A massive file which can best be described as a dictionary of computing jargon (including humorous slang used in on-line conversations) as used by the on- line hackers from around the world. It starts off with a very lengthy introduction covering the origins of modern day computing jargon and looks at its everyday use. It then proceeds to list all known terms in alphabetical order. The file runs to over 1100K and is an essential reference guide for all who use computers. We have broken it down into sensible sized chunks so that even 520 users can read it. THE BEWICK COLLECTION - A collection of 300 dpi and 400 dpi scans (in IMG format) of wood engravings created by master craftsman, Thomas Bewick. Files are FOWLER, FOWLER_2, FOX_1, FOX_2, FROGS, GIRLCLIF, HANGED, BARN_OWL, KESTREL. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FRANKFU1 FRANKFU2 FRANKFUR FRANKGHI FRANKGHN FRANKGO FRANKGOB FRANKGOI FRANKGON FRANKGOT FRANKHE FRANKHIN FRANKHO FRANKLI1 FRANKLI2 FRANKLI3 FRANKLIN FRANKTMI FRANKTM_ FRATLA__ FREEHAN1 FREEHAN4 FREEHAND. BIG_BANNER - Prints your text banner style. There are 5 sizes and 5 fonts to choose from. GABIGRAF - Of German origin. Seems to be a text/graphics layout designer for the Gabriele 9009 with an IFD1 interface. Has anybody seen one? CFG - Configuration files for using Radacteur 3 with 60 printers including Brother, Epson, Citizen, HP Deskjet & Laserjet, Atari, Panasonic, Oki, MT, Amstrad and Star. 1ST WORD - HEX configuration files for Star, HP Deskjet, Citizen and Panasonic 1080. NEC P2200 - Printer control & configuration accessory. STAR - Comprehensive info and a full set of 1st WORD (and PLUS) drivers for NL10 and LC10, including colour versions. COMPOSER 2 - A Shareware pattern based sequencer from David Dickens. Colour or mono but works better in the latter. This is a major upgrade to Composer and is now fully GEM based. It's an unusual sequencer which can be frustratingly slow, but perseverence can be rewarding. CZPHONIX - An editor/librarian for Casio's popular CZ series of synths. A simple to use but comprehensive program. VZ EDIT - A Shareware editor/librarian for the Casio VZ1 by Nigel Stanley. An essential purchase if you have this synth or intend to get one. Register to get latest version and stop those reminders appearing on screen at frequent intervals! BOOTSECTOR CONSTRUCTION SET (BCS) V1.64 by Xavier Roche - A very comprehensive program which allows you to create your own bootsectors. GEM based interface with options which allow you to set the screen hertz rate and include sound files in the bootup sequence. The docs are in French but the program is in English. CALIGRAPHER QUICK REFERENCE (CQREF) V1.2 by Bill Aycock - A desk accessory which gives the user multi-functional control through keyboard commands over the search/replace codes, special character codes, case conversion and much more, from within Calligrapher. DISKINIT by T Smith - An ACC which allows you to switch on or off Drive B after boot up without rebooting the system. Assembler source code included but no docs. DOUBLE VISION V1.1 by Samuel Streeper - A disk formatter that allows you format disks that are readable on both single and double sided disk drives.

RECTRASH by Steve Hughey - Install a recoverable trashcan with this program. It will run on any ST/STE/TT in any resolution and any TOS version but is designed for NewDesk (TOS 2.06 and above) users with a hard drive. You will really need a replacement Desktop like Gemini, Teradesk or KAOSDesk if you don't have TOS 2.06. With this trashcan you have the option of recovering discarded files or permanently erasing them. SHAREWARE. SHELL- FIX. V1.3 by Dan Wilga - This program is designed to remedy a problem with the operating system calls shel_envir, shel_find, shel_read and shel_write. These functions normally only work correctly if the shell that runs a program is the built in GEM desktop.

AIRBAG V1.1 by Apache - A boot selector program which lets you choose which ACCs and Auto programs are to be run for the current session. It allows you to specify up to 28 Auto folder programs and 28 ACCs and 10 default sets can be saved for ease of use. You can boot up with a low res picture and perform a check of your system vectors (useful for detecting viruses). BACKUP DESTRUCTION UTILITY by Richard Karsmakers - Allows you to get rid of all backup files in a single operation. You can specify the extensions of up to 8 different types of backup files you want 'zapped'. BDU allows you to exclude any directories (up to 8 per partition) or even the entire partition, from the process and the backup files may be moved to a specified directory rather than deleted. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. CHARMAP5 V0.9 by Peter Hellinger - A companion program for SpeedoGDOS 5 which allows you to access the extra characters in TrueType and Type 1 fonts which lie above the 256 character limitation of the ASCII character set. These may then be incorporated into your font tables so that they can be used within SpeedoGDOS aware applications. Please note that this utility does NOT work with SpeedoGDOS v4 or other GDOS variants, ONLY SpeedoGDOS 5. The program is in English but the docs are German, although we've done a RUF translation. Also, note that Charmap5 requires Peter Hellinger's Magic program (on disk) in order to run). MAGIC MODULAR APPLICATIONS GEM INTERFACE (MAGIC) 4.00 by Peter Helinger - An alternative GEM interface for Magic aware applications. Not to be confused with MagiC from Application Systems Heidelberg. Magic 4.00 runs under TOS, Multi-TOS or MagiC. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German, although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. Charmap5 (also on disk) is Magic aware. CHAMELEON CUSTOMISER V1.1 by Jeffrey Krzysztow - Allows you to patch the ACC loader Chameleon so that it automatically loads a specified ACC, defaults to a specific path for ACCs and alter the key combination required to unload an ACC. GENMOUSE V2.5 - Allows you to use a PC mouse connected to the serial port of your ST. Once you have it set up, you can even use both the ST mouse and the serial mouse in the same session.

NORMALIZED KEY CODE CONVERTER NKCC V2.93 by Harald Siegmund - C source code for incorporation into your own programs for handling keyboard events. On different versions of TOS and sometimes on different language versions of the same TOS pressing a specific key combination returns a different ASCII value. NKCC fixes this by intercepting these and standardising them. It also supports the handling of deadkeys for special non-alphabetical characters as used in several European languages. Although intended for use in Turbo C or Pure C object files are supplied in DRI format so they could be used in more or less any compiler. Docs in both English and German. CDBIND1 by Julian Reschke - C bindings for Pure C which give a Unix-like interface to CD-ROM specific functions. They can be used with a MiNT specific CD-ROM driver or with the MetaDOS BOS drivers. MINT V1.14.7 - A multi-tasking operating system for the ST. This is the multi-tasking kernel used in Multi-TOS and can be used as a direct replacement for MINT.PRG if you have an earlier version of that package. It can also be used to provide true multi-tasking with Gribnif s Geneva. Please note that this is Mint NOT Multi-TOS which is a commercial release . Unless you have a multi-tasking AES running you will only be able to multi-task TOS rather than GEM programs. Needs at least 1 Meg the more the better. THE ATARI ST MODEM PROGRAMMING GUIDE by Steve Yelvington - An extensive document detailing the TOS system calls available for accessing the serial port and example code explaining how to use them. MARK WILLIAMS C SHELL by Dan Wilga - A shell program for MWC which allows up to five source files to be compiled into one PRG. It is designed to be run from within NeoDesk v2.05 or later. Along with the text editor of your choice it gives MWC programmers integrated editor linker and compiler functions from an easy to use GEM based environment. OLD2ANSI by Dan Wilga - Converts old Kernighan Ritchie C sources into ANSI style prototypes. Should cope with the source from most pre-ANSI C compilers and save you a whole lot of retyping.

It includes an extensive library of electronic components and the ability to design and add your own. An invaluable feature is the ability to route signal paths either manually or using the built-in autorouter. Output is supported to most 9-pin, 24-pin and laser printers with the option of outputting to a file in IMG or GEM format. Plotter output is also supported. The demo is fully functional except that you cannot print or save your own work, although the supplied examples can be edited or printed. Includes an extensive 'get you going guide'. Full version available in the UK. Needs 1 Mb. GNU PLOT V3.0 - An interactive function plotting program which plots mathematical functions. It can plot any type of 2D or 3D structure to screen or printer. This is the ST version of GNU PLOT from the PC and Unix. It is command line driven and uses a command structure similar to C.

If you want to use the other programs you must reset the machine with a blank disk in the drive then access the program disk from the Desktop. UFO ST #2 - Lee Round returns with a double-disk issue of this diskzine which inestigates UFOs and the paranormal. This issue kicks off with an extensive collection of reports of abductions by aliens. There's a listing of books on UFOlogy, a list of new UFO based book releases and a review of The Paranormal, a publication by Jenny Randle. The "Mars Special" section looks at various SETI projects, the mile long, 1500 ft high "humanoid face" found in one of the deserts of Mars, the followup to the Pathfinder mission and the writings of Tsiolkovsky, a Russian philosopher. In addition, there are over 20 miscellaneous pieces on UFOs, including sightings by pilots, Project Blue Book, a report of a close encounter, the Krill files and much more. Other features include a list of UFO based videos, where to buy a life-size alien, a listing of useful contacts for UFOlogists and an "interview" with Arthur C Clarke. A worthy followup with hours worth of reading material. Needs 1Mb. POWERDOS - A multi-tasking GEM replacement. It seems to be similar in concept to MINT and Multi-TOS but much less memory hungry. The documentation is very sparse and I couldn't get into it fully. It looks powerful but with very little documentation, you're on your own. ST ZINE V3 by Andrew Oakley - An excellent Shareware program for creating your own disk magazines. It allows you to combine pictures, text and tracker music to create your own mag. It comes with a sample disk mag which is essentially a reader program for the extensive manual. It also has an installer program which converts MOD files to ABK, compresses picture files and puts everything together for you, ready to run. Runs in colour or mono.

DUNGEON by T C Bassett - A great Dungeons and Dragons game by the author of Overlord. It is very similar to FTL's Dungeon Master but perhaps less complex. You select a single character and venture forth into the darkest dungeon and prepare to meet your fate. As you complete one dungeon, you enter the town, pick up some provisions and head for the next dungeon. Reasonable graphics and excellent digitised sound effects throughout. How long can you stave off the monsters within? Needs 1 Meg. This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FOOD FRANKGOI FRANKGOB FRANKGON FRANKGOT FREEPRTN FRIZQUA1 FRNKSTNN FTLTLT FUJIB FUJII FUJIN FUJIT FUNDRUN1 GATINEAB GATINEAI GATINEAN GATINEAT GARAMON1 GARAMON2 GARAMON3 GARAMON4 GARAMOND GA______ GEOGRAPH GEOPLAIN GOTHIC GOTHICB GOTHICBI GOTHICI. April 1st Demo by The Overlamers! A mickey taking demo based around the Delirious Demo 2 by The Overlanders. This disk must be taken with a pinch of salt! No, you don't have a duff copy, that's what it's meant to do! SHARES - Keep track of your shares and compare their current value with their initial value using this program. EASYMOVE - Allows you to move .GEM files and their associated .IMG files as created with Easydraw without having to remember their respective locations. Amends the .GEM file info as necessary for the new location of the .IMG file. LOGDRIVE v1.0e - Lets you divert accesses away from drive A (say) to another logical drive. Very clever and especially handy for ramdisk/harddisk users. NCAP v1.1 - An ACC which shows the capslock status at top right of screen. Mono only. NFAT v1.2 - FAT sector cache accessory. Speeds up hard disk operation. Includes extra goodies like displaying free space on drive etc. NMOUSE v1.2 - A mouse manager.

The object is to conquer the world by forming legions. You get one legion for every country you win or continue to hold, for one day. Your computer takes over in attack mode with odds for and against you, plus much more. This is a very comprehensive on-line game. Shareware. DIP V1.4 by Jeff Fehlman - A Door Interface Program that allows on-line games to be run on a BBS that might not otherwise be able to run them. It does this by writing the information file in the format the game expects. In addition, DIP provides a menu driven interface with the user and logs user actions if required. Set up docs included. Shareware. HILO V1.4 by Matt Heaton - A high-low score recording system for on-line games between players with configurable options such as the setting of upper and lower limits. Includes short setup docs. For use with BBS EXPRESS. HORSE V1.0 - A BBS horse racing program which gives you the thrill of on-line horse racing, well almost! You are given $100 to start with and must accumulate as much money as you can. If you lose and go broke, you get kicked off the track! IRON BOMBER 2 by David Rudda Jnr - Rather than controlling a plane as in Iron Bomber 1, you now command a defensive role and must take out the attacking air strikes. Includes good documentation on installation and options include high score tables to accommodate both 1200 - 2400 baud users and high speed modem users. Players should read the docs relating to time allowed per day or you could time-out in the middle of playing! Shareware. SPACE EMPIRE ELITE V11.37 by Jon Radoff - A very comprehensive on-line game for up to 25 players. The object of the game is to become the richest person in terms of power (money, military strength, size) and to achieve the highest score. The computer controls an empire known as the Satharian Empire, which is populated by a race of evil lizard- like creatures whose sole interest is to kill off your population. The Satharians may attack you at random, even capturing some of your planets. Many options and game configurations are available for players. As this is a multi-player game, there is a time limit on play-time and the SysOp of each board configures the turns per day. You may use some of the turns, quit the game and decide to play later in the day. ON LINE BLACKJACK by Eric Drewry - Like so many on-line games, there's extensive installation docs and very little on gameplay. Still, if you play Blackjack this won't present a problem! PERPLEXIA by Ven'ra - A comprehensive maze adventure with 24 levels of varying complexity. Find the keys, avoid the eyes and keep clear of those walls. A very professional sprite and maze editor is also included. EXTERMINATE by Chris Skellern - A horizontally scrolling shoot 'em up. You navigate something that looks like a bobsled, through a tunnel full of aliens. Once you reach the end of the level, a guardian appears. You must pass this to progress. Good graphics with sound by The Shape Shifters. Features parallax scrolling. SPACE DUEL by Chris Jeffery - A two player space dogfight set around the gravitational field of a powerful star. Two joysticks are required. Great fun. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. GNUCHESS v4 - A very good chess simulator with a variety of functions available, including a piece editor, numerous skill levels and a hint feature for those moments when you need a little helping hand.

One of the best PD chess games I have seen. 22 CALAMUS FONTS - Fonts are ALISON, ALXFRACT, AMBROSIA, ANIMALS, ARCTIC, BALLTEGR, BARCODE, BERNMOD, BODACIUS, BODIDLY, BRNDTNGO, BROADWAY, BUBBLE, CANAITH, CAVEMAN, CHILIPEP, DIEGO1, FLINT, FUNDRUNO, FUNDRUN, GREENCAP, PIXIEFON. PANDORA'S BOX by ACO - Written for the 1st Scottish Computer Fair in Glasgow in December 1991. A collection of eight demos and a game. All were written in STOS and several feature smooth parallax scrolling and one has over 30 colours on screen. The game involves tracing your way around the bends of a wire without actually touching the wire. If that sounds complicated,give it a go,it is! NETHACK V3.1.3 - Perhaps the ultimate in role playing games? This latest release of Nethack is a multi-dungeon version and is to my knowledge, the largest game ever written for the ST! Countless new dungeons branch off the main one (from v3.0) at various points. Tasks must be completed in each dungeon before you can undertake the main task of capturing the Amulet Of Yendor. This is a direct port of the game of the same name running on MS-DOS and Unix systems. There's nothing worth talking about by way of graphics but the gameplay is in a class of its own to say the least. You will need 2 Meg of memory and a hard drive to play Nethack! We have retained v3.0 on GAM.152 for 1 Meg users and those without hard drives. GEMTREK V1.1 by Jrgen and Uwe Holtkamp - A cross between Star Trek and Battleships & Cruisers. The storyline follows that of Star Trek with your computer controlled opponents being the Kingons or Romulans and your ships resembling famous crafts from the Federation Starfleet. However, that's where the similarity ends (well almost!). Gameplay itself follows that of the Battleships and Cruisers game where the aim is simple, to sink (blow up?) the enemy's ships. GemTrek is unsurprisingly housed in a slick GEM interface and runs as an ACC or PRG. It is of course fully Multi-TOS and MagiC Mac compatible. Docs in English and German, program in English, German and Swedish. On-line Help in ST-Guide (not included) format. Requires a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res only if running on an ST. VIRTUAL CITY by Tony Bennett - A 3D world in which you move about using the mouse to change direction and the left and right buttons to increase or decrease speed. The demo is True Colour and exceeds the normal overscan specification for screen height. The objects on the scenery consist of line vectors light sourced polygons gourad shaded polygons texture mapped objects light sourced texture mapped objects and glass polygons. The rotating billboards with different pictures on either side are well worth seeing. Manoevre yourself around the landscape and investigate the different objects at different locations. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg. BOUND 3 - Watch a fast spinning globe of the world bounce around the screen followed closely by its shadow. It behaves rather like a water filled balloon squashing as it hits the edges of the screen. Complete with bouncy sound effects. Needs 4 Meg. This disks have different raytracing demos created using GFA Raytrace . All demos use a 60Hz program so they might not work on some TVs. Needs 1 Meg of memory. THE NIGEL SCOTT COLLECTION DISK 11 FARM LANDSCAPES - A collection of 22 JPEGs created from original photographs by Nigel Scott. One of a series of disks from a professional photographer. Not to be missed. Files are NSA16 NSA21 NSA22 NSA24 NSA29 NSA30 NSA65 NSA66 NSB31 NSB37 NSB38 NSB39 NSB40 NSB61 NSB62 NSB63 NSB65 NSB65C NSB66 NSB67 NSB68 NSB69. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are BEGIN BLAJBCK DEFROST DISASTER EL MOVE BEAMS BLOOD CHINA MYSTIK PRIME90 PRISON SECT4. Various Fast Basic Programs (GRAPHICS AND MATHS) - Mostly low res graphics demos. Some are impressive, others are not! JACKPAINT, DOODLE - freehand drawing. GRAPHPLOT - Plots graphs of your chosen data. Some programs run in mono only (emulator included). Although a runner program is on disk, several programs will only run under Fast Basic itself. More Fast Basic Programs - Most run in Mono but some in Low res. Most of the programs are various types of puzzles like TENPIN, TILT, RUBLIK'S CLOCK, CROSSWORDS etc. Also on disk is a VCR Database and a program called Big Label for addressing Envelopes. Mono emulator is included in Auto folder. SHEK CHEUNG'S AMIGA MODULES Disk 4. Soundtracker files with player program. MODs are ABACAB, AFTERGLO, ENTANGLE, MAMA, TALL. Upstart - A vertical shoot 'em up game written in STOS Basic. Shoot various item before they get to bottom of the screen. Shoot "f" icon for fuel. Yatzy - Also in STOS, written by Ben Johansen. Documentation on disk.VIRUS! - The PD game! Do not be alarmed if game bombs out. It's meant to! Press a key, then info screen comes up, giving outline of the game where you have to collect 5 disks in a circuit maze. Written in STOS by Tommy Iofgren (great game). HOWARD'S BRAIN TEASERS - A collection of four excellent Freeware puzzle type games by Howard Clarke. They are all simple enough to be playable, yet challenging enough to be addictive! BOX CLEVER - You must try to achieve the highest number of consecutive moves around a numbered grid without landing on the same square twice. EYESTRAIN - An image is displayed on a grid and you are shown a single piece to the right of the image. Simply click onto the corresponding piece on the grid to score 10 points. It's not as easy as you would think and there's a time limit. PLACE 50 - A two player brain teaser. You must place coloured tiles onto a 10x12 grid. Each tile has a number and colour. You can't place tiles of the same colour or value next to each other but you must place tiles adjacent to other times. Points are awarded for each correctly placed tile. Just to make things interesting there's multiplier squares too. YAGOP - A matching pairs game. This one is different in that very few squares are available when you start. Each time you get a mismatch, a new pair of squares momentarily opens until the whole board has active squares, then the timer starts and you have to match all 50 pairs within the time limit. PSYCHO PIG 2 by Animalsoft - A platform game which takes place over four locations i.e. jungle, desert, mountainous and underwater. Some baby crocs have been kidnapped and it is your job to mount a rescue mission! You control the Pyscho Pig of the title, and a mean brute he turns out to be. There are lots of baddies to dispose of and objects to collect to acquire bonuses. Successfully complete the four locations and progress to a fifth level to finish your mission. GFA BASIC SOURCE DISK 9 - The sixth and final disk in the 1993 series. The code on this disk is more geared towards giving examples of how to do things, rather than being complete code for utilities or games. For GFA Basic v2 owners, there's a complete library of AES/VDI/BIOS and XBIOS functions saved as LST files for inclusion into your source. They give the same flexibility that GFA v3 does. Aside from this huge library of GFA v2 routines, the rest of the source code on this disk is for GFA Basic v3. This includes fast routines for drawing curves, a complete shell for writing window based applications, a routine to display a Spectrum 512 compressed pictures (.SPC), a routine to format a disk, and various disk routines such as reading drive info and displaying BPB info. Also on this disk is a set of procedures for using any of the GDOS variants from within your own code. Some source code contains extra documentation. ANONYMOUS GIF ANIMATION TOOL (AGATE) V1.2 - A useful program which takes a 256 colour FLC file and converts it to an GIF animation for use on the WWW. It attempts to save only the animated area rather than the full 640x480 screen. Lots of option allow transparency, interlace and other attributes to be specified. DEMO_RWI - A collection of demo modules for use with packages which support Parx Software's M&E modules (BV4, Picolo and others). The full versions of these modules are commercially available from Parx. They include printer drivers for the Canon BJC-4000 and BJC-70, HP Deskjet 500C and 550C, Epson Stylus Colour, and import modules for the Paragon Mustek M1200D3P, M600D3P, M600DSP, M600S2D flatbed scanners and the Vidi ST digitiser in 256 colours or True Colour (Falcon only). Just drop them into the appropriate folders inside your PARX.SYS folder and they are ready for use. IFX_MATR by Eric Da Cunha - Two new special effects modules for use with packages which support Parx Software's M&E modules. These are demo versions which perform convolutions (on True Colour images) based on a 3x3 matrix. Being demos, you cannot save the resulting images. One version is for use on the Falcon, the other runs on any Atari. Full versions available directly from the author. Unfortunately all the M&E software on this disk is documented in French. MARCEL V2.34+ - An excellent Shareware word processor from The States. Marcel has a number of features which rank it over and above many of its competitors. It loads text in ASCII, 1st Word, Wordplus, Word Perfect 4.1, RFT formats and saves in ASCII, RFT and Wordplus. Marcel includes a built-in spell checker (with 45,000 words!), supports numerous layout styles and different fonts. Keyboard shortcuts are available for almost every function and commonly used words and phrases may be programmed onto the function keys.

AUTOPLAY by D J Stanton - Turns your Atari into a hardware sequencer without the need for a monitor or mouse! Requires the use of a MIDI file player. Peter Bogner's KARA4TOS (which does the job admirably) is also on the disk. Up to ten "banks" may be assigned, each containing up to 10 MIDI pieces. Simply set up your play list, then it's a case of pressing the appropriate keys to play the relevant files without the need for mouse or monitor! Principle use of this would be on stage during a gig.

ATOM ANT - A boulderdash clone. You must dig through the soil to recover gems. A certain number are required before you can progress to the next level. COLUMNS - Similar to Tetris. Columns of three squares travel down the screen. Rows must be made of the same type of square, which then disappear. Stop the squares from reaching the top of the screen. DINKUM - An Australian text adventure where you must explore The Outback in search of treasure. MOSIAC - A puzzle game where 2 by 2 tiles must be placed on a grid to make squares of the same colour. STETRIS - A novel adaptation of Tetris. You can start on any one of 10 different levels, play at any one of 3 skill levels, load and save high score tables and show or hide the next piece. Very well implemented, keyboard controlled but keys are redefinable. TETRIX - Yet another of those Tetris clones. This one can be operated by keyboard or joystick and the game can be paused if necessary. You can also show or hide the next piece. What probably makes it unique is its excellent digitised soundtrack which plays throughout! TRAPS - Find the whereabouts of traps by clicking on squares with the mouse. The object of the game is to clear all the squares without setting off the traps. Clip Art in IMG format .

AMAZE by Peter Hellinger - A sixteen level puzzle game. One the first level you simply walk around the edges of the playing area, taking care not to venture off the edge of the board. From level 2 onwards you have to work out a safe route and, with bits of the puzzle missing, it's not easy! Runs as a PRG or ACC. AMAZE2 by Tyson Gill - A massive weaving maze viewed from overhead. You are presented with an entrance and an exit and a thousand ways of getting from one to the other, 999 of which lead to dead ends! Every game generates a new random maze and there's a built-in help mode. AMOEBA WARS by Larry Roux - Based on the 'game of life' this is a two player game in which you try to propogate cells in such a way as to eliminate your opponent. You can win either by wiping out your opponent or letting him wipe himself out! A Load and Save game facility is included. This is a strategically based game and is well documented. BALLBUSTER by Eric Scott - You play the part of a juggler. You must bounce your ball off the giant rotating multi-coloured ball in order to score points. The ball must be caught each time it falls and you only get three balls. Just to complicate things, there's a nasty monster wandering around which eats the balls! BATSLOT by BatSoft - A simple slot machine simulator. Place a bet and let the reels roll! Claims to 'pay out' over 98% of 'takings'. Pity it wasn't real cash! SUPERPANIC V0.8 by Dave Spinnett - A fast, furious shoot 'em up. You get three cannons and must clear all the flying saucers from one level to progress to the next. Features many levels of increasing difficulty. BEYOND by Michael Allen - Another Tetris clone. This one follows the usual rules of Tetris, in other words get three identical pieces in a row, horizontally, vertically or diagonally in order to eliminate the pieces. Each time you clear 100 pieces from the screen, the speed of the game increases. This Shareware version has just one level, the full version has many more. ST BINGO by Albert Baggetta - You play a single bingo card against the computer. this game differs from the traditional game in that each number has a letter (from the word bingo) in front of it, making it much harder to get a match. Unlike the real thing, you can't miss a number as the ST marks your card as you go! The only problem is that the computer usually wins! HAPPY DAYS BINGO by Wendell Hanson - Very similar to the last game as it too uses numbers prefixed by letters. However, in this game you choose one of five cards, all of which contain randomly chosen numbers. The computer plays the remaining cards. As with the previous game, the computer is more likely to win than you are! 3D BLOCKS by R Grothmann - A sort of Tetris type game played horizontally! You must manoevre the 3D blocks so that they slot into each other. Being 3D, they can be turned in a variety of ways. When they reach the front of your screen, it's all over. A challenging variation on a popular theme. Unfortunately it's all in German, but obvious. BOING by Unique Software - You guide a bouncing ball around the screen collecting fruit. You must collect all the fruit on one level within a specified time limit, to progress to the next. There are walls to penetrate, bonus levels, hazzards to avoid, bonuses to collect and many levels to complete. Great platform game with lots to do. COLLAPSE V1.1 by David Henry - Yet another Tetris clone. This one awards more points for eliminating rows in excess of three blocks and gameplay speeds up every 90 seconds. SHOCKER 2 - THE HOUSE OF GAMES - A very addictive puzzle/strategy game for one or two players. If two players are playing they must connect the computers together using the Midi or RS232 ports. The ST version is also on disk so that you can play against a friend. Using the mouse you move a marble around the screen collecting hearts. You must collect all the hearts on a level to proceed to the next. Each level presents new challenges and requires different skills. There are 100 levels in all and levels which have been beaten may be bypassed next time round. Full instruction are accessed by pressing HELP. SPACOLA by Dongleware - An ST game which works very well on the Falcon. It is a fast action shoot em up set in Outer Space. It s a case of blasting everything in sight and getting paid different amounts of money depending on what you hit. You can also rescue survivors from the targets you hit and there appears to be a trading element in it too. The on-line instructions for this one are in German apart from that it s a great shoot em up. Both games must be run from ST high res so a VGA monitor is recommended. However they do run on an RGB monitor if you can bear the eye strain Autosort - Change order of programs in AUTO folder. Environ - Auto program to set up environment variables for GEMDOS. Assembler source included. FMC - Force media change. Forces the ST to re - read a disk. Use with drives that do not log in new disks correctly. Formdial - Auto program to speed up drawing of dialogue boxes. No obvious effect with TOS 1.4, corrupts screen with 1.2. DCFlight - Turns on the drive A light when any drive accessed, including hard disks and RAMdisk. Diskchart - crippled version of disk space utilisation reporter. Draws barchart, no numbers. Fselect - Version 7 of Martin Patzel's replacement file selector. Gifview - Colour and greyscale viewers for .GIF grahics files. League - Manage a sports league table, Sunday soccer etc. Leonard - Replaces bombs with 'Leonards'(human head with resemblance to member of Tramiel family?). Somewhat tongue - in - cheek. Ocultar - Password protection for system (hard disk only). Startsam - Makes your ST speak to you at boot time. SYSBeep - Replace system beep with a sound sample. Tapmaker - Prints inlays for cassettes. First ever shareware program from Argentina? Timedrive - Shows currently active drive (time if none) at top right of screen. VKiller - Version 3.11 of George Woodside's virus killer. Fingerbobs - Install one of eight different bootsectors, some decorative, some useful (eg; antivirus, messages etc). Colour only. The Menu - Floppy disk cataloguing utility. Accepts up to 1000 disks. Pascal source included. THE ON-LINE HACKER JARGON FILE V3.0.0 - A massive file which can best be described as a dictionary of computing jargon including humorous slang used in on-line conversations as used by the on-line hackers from around the world. It starts off with a very lengthy introduction covering the origins of modern day computing jargon and looks at its everyday use. It then proceeds to list all known terms in alphabetical order. The file runs to over 1100K and is an essential reference guide for all who use computers. Obviously you will need 4 Meg in order to read it F030DOC - Four documents mainly aimed at programmers which should prove useful to Falcon owners. There s documentation of the Falcon hardware registers by Aeon and Chris of Aura and bITmASTER of BSW. Another file by Dan Hollis documents the hardware registers for the entire range of Atari computers. The final document is a compatibility listing for ST games. It tells you if a game runs doesn t run or runs under an emulator such as Backward. If it needs an emulator you are given the appropriate settings required. A games disk from the Fast Basic User Group . PUZZLER - Can you complete the puzzle? Use the number keys to play. DR BORIS - Guide your man safely through a minefield collecting all the dynamite before the counter reaches zero. Use keys ZX/' to move. MAELSTROM by Marvey Mills - A vertical shoot 'em up featuring multi-level action. Do not Autoboot if you have a 520ST. Run the main program not the loader. PRO DARTS - A very good darts simulation. Includes digitised speech. Can you score the magical 180. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. TTF-GDOS V0.1 by Trevor Blight - The biggest problem with GDOS versions prior to SpeedoGDOS was a distinct lack of fonts. This was further compounded by the fact that separate font files had to be created for each point size required. The result was that you were stuck with the limited range of styles and point sizes available in PD or you had to create your own. Short of purchasing Speedo, TTF-GDOS solves all of the above problems and more. It lets you use True Type fonts (we have over 400 of them in the FONTS section of the catalogue) within your GDOS based applications at any size from 7pt to 38pt. As well as being faster than Atari's GDOS, it can use Motorola type TTF fonts as well as Intel ones, swap printer drivers from within an application and load drivers from any location, not just the GEMSYS directory. If that's not enough, you save disk space too as TTF fonts take up less disk space than their GDOS equivalents. This disk is an essential purchase if you are still using GDOS v1.11. TTF-GDOS is not an upgrade to Speedo or NVDI 3/4. It still uses bitmapped fonts rather than their vector equivalents. Please note it does not include any printer drivers, so you will need to use the ones supplied with your original GDOS distribution or those available on UTL.5963. Most GDOS based programs work well with TTF-GDOS but some (including Timeworks) do not. Trial and error is the watchword here. Includes a selection of fonts and several support programs. A very well concieved and extensively documented product. ON-LINE MODEM PROGRAMS - A collection of games which can be played whilst connected to a bulletin board or by connecting two ST's together via a null modem cable. QUEST V1.37 by JPSCAB - On line adventure game with full instructions on how to install but very little clues as to the game content! Runs on FoReM and BBS Express based bulletin boards. Freeware. MAZE COMBAT V1.095 by Sean Dougherty - A two player over-the-modem game which revolves around a massive number of mazes and robots which you can use to battle it out with friends or enemies. Weapons include missiles and mines! Runs on any ST/STE/TT Falcon in low res. A graphics accelerator and a blitter are recommended if you are using an 8Mhz 68000 based machine. Shareware. REVENGE OF ZORGOTH by Pandamonium Software - Demo version of ongoing Medieval adventure game. Quest cannot be completed unless you register. Short docs so you are on your own a bit. Shareware. ST NATIONAL V1.10 by Four Wheels BBS - An on-line drag racing game which looks very comprehensive with many options including the choice of car components, gear ratio and even a choice of tyres! A store is included where you can buy everything from piston-rings to new engine. Obviously the more points you get from wins, the better you can build up your car. TRIVIAL PURSUIT V2.00 by Keith Ledbetter for BBS EXPRESS! - This game is based around two ideas, the actual Trivial Pursuit board game and the previous trivia scripts written by EXPRESS! All the functions are contained in one .COM file and options include adding questions to the game, setting the time limit and much more. Short docs but this game is well known to many so should not be a problem. Please note that this game consists of scripts for use on BBS EXPRESS! and cannot be used with other systems. WREST V1.51 by Shawn Smith - An on-line wrestling game where you have options to choose such characteristics as weight, strength, intelligence and much more. All the moves and their success (or failure!) is based upon a random number generation. Short docs again but as the author states, the game is pretty obvious. Shareware. STAR BATTLE V1.02 by Kevin Moody - A Star Trek type game where you venture into Outer Space on a trading and exploration mission. Fully mouse controlled which makes a change from most on-line games. ELECTRIC IMAGE by Nigel Head - A Shareware package which runs in all three screen resolutions. It can load and save in Degas, Neo or STOS format and has an extensive manual on disk which can be viewed or printed out from within the program. Two screens are available for drawing. A number of pictures are also included. A COLLECTION OF PUZZLE TYPE GAMES FROM THE ST. ATOMIX - A Shareware puzzle game by Tony Martin. You must place atoms of different values together on a 7 7 board to get as many high scoring atoms as possible. Increase each atom s score by too much and it explodes. ELECTRONIC JIGSAW PUZZLE - Load up a Degas Neo or Tiny format picture several supplied on disk . The program jumbles up the picture into 32 blocks.

The program also supports colour cycling. TREASURE SEARCH by Peter Hickman - You are presented with a map on a grid and must locate the buried treasure. Features digitised loading music sampled speech and excellent graphics. PLUMBER - A pipeline clone. Try to build complete pipelines before the water starts to flow. SERENDIPITY - A puzzle game played against the computer where the player has to place coloured counters on a board to make lines of 3. The computer tries to do the same and often wins Not quite as simple as it sounds and very frustrating. TUZZLE21 - A tile puzzle game. 15 numbered tiles are scrambled on a 4 4 grid you must put them in the correct order as quickly as possible. ZOOX - An excellent and very addictive puzzle game. The object of the game is to control a ball around a grid avoiding enemy balls and stationary blocks. Each time you pause a copy of your ball is left behind. You must fill up all the squares on each level to progress to the next. STOS source for both games is included. 51 CALAMUS FONTS - Fonts are CHALCHAN CHITOWN CLASIHVY CLASITAL CLASROMN CSDBLOCK CUENIFNT DESERT DEUSEX ELGARRTT FUTURA HARQUIL JUDAS MEDICI OLYMPIA PHOENIX REVUED ROTHMAN RUDELSBG SANSERIF SCHZWALD SCRIPTIT SHARK SHOCK SHORA SILICON SLABFACE SLANT STENCILC ALISON ALXFRACT AMBROSIA ANIMALS ARCTIC BALLTEGR BARCODE BERNMOD BODACIUS BODIDLY BRNDTNGO BROADWAY BUBBLE CANAITH CAVEMAN CHILIPEP DIEGO1 FLINT FUNDRUNO FUNDRUN GREENCAP PIXIEFON.

MODULATION VOLUME 3 by Escape Checkpoint - A collection of 13 original stereo soundtracks by 505 of Checkpoint. These are selected from a main menu which features impressive plasma effects 3D push-in buttons and just about every customisable option imaginable over the playback of the music. Another top class music collection. MODs are BASNTEKK BEAUTY OF PAST HARD ATTACK HEROS HIGHSPEEDKILL NEVER CHILL NO BRAIN PARADISE SLEEPLESS SMILE SUNDAY MONDAY VIRTUAL TERROR and WHERE. Needs 4 Mb. Sampled Sounds (Speech) Disk 7 by Brian Ross . Suitable for use with Quartet, TCB Tracker or any of the PD Soundtracker clones. 51 samples on disk. CAB-FTP V0.3 by Manfred Ssykor - An FTP client (allows you to download programs and files from Internet sites) for use within CAB. Install it as the default application for ftp and CAB-FTP will be called in every time you try to access a URL beginning ftp:// rather than http://. This makes it much simpler than having to use a separate ftp program. CAB-FTP can of course be run as a separate application alongside STiK, independently of CAB if required. NEWSWATCH V2.00 by Gary Priest - Lets assume you use Oasis for newsgroup access and CAB for WWW browsing. They use different methods of connecting to your ISP and therefore necessitate two calls. This program allows you to send and receive Usenet news articles via Oasis 1.3x, Snews or Oasis 2 using STiK rather than NOS or ICE. In effect it means that you can send and receive news articles during a session with STiK without having to log on again with Oasis. You still create the messages in Oasis and read downloaded messages in Oasis, it's just that you don't need to make a second call to your ISP in order to send/receive the news articles. MAKE_GET by Swampdog - Lets you download only the headers of Usenet newsgroup articles rather than the entire articles when using Oasis 1.xx. You can then select the articles you wish to read and download only those ones in their entirety. You need Oasis 1.xx (COM.5249) and POP NOS (COM.5633) in order to use this program. SDURL by Swampdog - Extracts all URL and other user- definable links from a text file or html and outputs them to an html ready for use in CAB. More links can be added to the html file at any time as your original file will not be over-written, merely merged with the new data and re-sorted alphabetically. T-MAIL SERIES 3 by Ben van Bokkem - A complete E- Mail/F-Mail/EchoMail/QMail replacement system for use with Turbo Board and QBBS systems, although most functions also operate on other systems. It checks the user's data files for handles and privilege flags and handles automatic deletion of messages and files at logoff, gating to other networks and so forth. There is support for up to 10 sigs, each of which can have from 20 to 80 echo bases. Lots more features (too many to describe here). Extensively documented. MORPHER V1.0 by Application Systems Heidelberg - An excellent GEM based program for creating morphs . Two pictures are loaded up you then proceed to load up the control lines and start the morphing process. The end result is a third picture which is a cross between the first two. The demo has a number of restrictions imposed upon it including the inability to create animations. Morpher is dreadfully slow but the results are really impressive and you can alter the parameters to obtain different results. Strangely enough it s the ST version rather than the TT version which runs on the Falcon. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. Requires a minimum resolution of 640x400 80 col interlace on/double line off in up to 256 colours. RAINBOW V0.5 - A True Colour paint package from Sweden which loads TGA TPI NEO and PI formats. The program is rather odd to use and has very few tools but it is in an early stage of development and looks promising. Save is disabled in this demo. TWILIGHT by Delirium Arts - A demo of a modular based screen saver which runs in any resolution from mono to True Colour and is fully Multi-TOS compatible. The demo restricts screen saving to 90 seconds and does not allow you to save you configuration. Apart from that this version is fully functional. What makes this screen saver unique is that it plays animated films in mono or colour and attaches sound samples to the animations. It also gives the user a fair amount of control over the various parameters. 18 example animations are supplied on disk. STEN #9 - Yet another great issue from Dave Mooney and friends. As well as the regular features like the editorial, newsdesk, Doc M's demo column, the latest PD news and reviews there are lots of other articles. These include articles on the raid on the SWSL, upgrading old issues of STEN, computer jargon, hard disk backups, fractals and ways of enhancing graphics on the ST. Programming articles cover Pascal, C and STOS. Hardware reviews of the Progate 80 hard drive and the Fijutsu DL900 24-pin printer. Software reviews of C Font, Vidi Chrome II, Timeworks Publisher 2, Tornado Mission and Oh No, More Lemmings. Richard Karsmakers and Stefan Posthuma of ST News are interviewed along with GBH of STORM. A packed issue as usual. Voyage of the Enterprise - A brilliant animation featuring the Starship Enterprise, a Space Satellite and the Space Shuttle. Needs 1 Meg of memory. The Ray Tracy Demo - An excellent animation created using a technique called ray tracing. Needs 1 Meg of memory. 42Crew Demo - Two tunes and nice graphics. Archipelagos - The demo of the Logotron game. Limited gameplay. TERADESK 1.40 - A GEM Desktop replacement. Not as full featured as NeoDesk/Gemini (not as big or complex either). If you don't already have TOS 2 or later, this program is almost mandatory. If you do, it's always an alternative. It allows customised icons and icons on the Desktop and offers many advantages of older TOS versions. TT and Falcon compatible. PUZZLE - A brilliant screen saver accessory which moves chunks of the screen around like one of those sliding block puzzles AUTO_CPU - Uses a configuration file to automatically switch a Mega STE between 8 MHz and 16 MHz for programs that need it. BOOZGEM 2.1.3 - A GEM based extractor for ZOO archives (including high compression v2.1 files). RAMPATCH - Upgrades Codehead RAM disk from v2.3 to 2.4 and fixes a TT bug (original program required). JCLABEL v1.9 - Creates and maintains a lists of up to 500 labels. Single labels or batches can be selected and printed. The format supports up to 32 cols x 7 lines. LZHSHELL - A GEM shell which provides a user friendly interface to LHARC (included) for creating/extracting LZH archives. NOISEPAKKER v0.3 - A compressor for samples and soundtracker modules. Gives better than 50% packing ratios SENTINEL TSR - Watches for and reports disk write errors, particularly 'disk full' problems. TAKE_MEM - An accessory which turns a 1040 into a 520 by grabbing half a meg of RAM. XBRA Inspector v1.1 - Finds and lists memory resident programs which install themselves using the xbra protocol FINAL WHISTLE TEAMS by The Hedgehog - A selection of 27 teams for use with The Final Whistle. Obviously you must have The Final Whistle in order to make use of this disk. WILDLIFE PICTURES - A collection of top quality images of wild animals. Files are ELEPHANT LLAMA RHINO RHINOS LIONESS. Viewer program supplied. TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS by Sinbad of Effect - The first Christmas Demo in years and this one's brimming with all sorts of everything. As you would expect, the song of the same name is performed beautifully and accompanied by a slideshow complete with words, just in case you forget them! There's a slideshow of festive pictures and a music box which plays snippets from various Christmas favourites. Twelve Days is more than just a demo, it features lots of Christmas trivia including Merry Christmas in 33 languages, traditional recipes, Santa FAQ and more! There's the full transcript of Charles dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' for you to read or print, a festive fun and jokes section and the lyrics to 14 Christmas Carols. Loosely described as a "Christmas Hamper on disk"! Please note that the Twelve Days song is STE ONLY although everything else runs on an FM too. Needs 1 Mb. DL VIEWER V0.01B by Lonny Pursell - Plays DL animations from the PC. These are commonly found on CD-ROMs, so you'll find this program invaluable if you own one of those 'beasties'. They will be played back in greyscale mode unless you have a TT, Falcon or a graphics card, in which case you can view them in 256 colours. Colour only. AVI_PLAY by Dieter Fiebelkorn - A collection of programs designed to play those AVI animations commonly found on PC CD-ROMs. There are optimised versions for the '020 upwards and machines with an FPU.

MC FLY V0.7 by John McLeod - Plays FLI or FLC animations in a GEM window on an ST/E or TT with a graphic card running in 256 colours. QUICKTIME PLAYER V0.96 by Dieter Fiebelkorn - Lets you view Quicktime movies (MOV files) on your ST/E. These files are typically found on PC and MAC CD's. This version of the player only supports CVID 24 bit and does not play the sound, but it's a start! Optimised versions for 020+ processors and FPU's are also included. Mono or colour. SQUIRL by Tim Chapman - A light synthesiser/pattern generator program similar in many ways to Jeff Minter's Trip-A-Tron (ART.3487). Patterns are generated by mouse movement but the emphasis is less reliant on the actual movement and more so on the way the mouse is moved. Dim the lights and play around with this one. You'll be amazed with some of the results you get. You can even try running it with a screen magnifier or mouse speeder program installed and watch how the display changes. Colour only. TIMMY'S TREE DESIGNER by Tim Chapman - A fun program to play around with when you need to relax. Simply set the twig, branch and trunk sizes for the tree along with a few other user definable parameters, then grow your own tree! A number of example script files are supplied which will enable you to create 16 different 'types' of tree with ease. Your masterpieces may be saved out as script files or in PI3 format. A number of example pictures created by the author are supplied in ZIP format (you need ST Zip on UTL.3093 to decompress them). Timmy's Tree Designer is Mono only. Swedish New Year Demo II (1989/1990). The followup to the Swedish New Year Demo on DEM.202C. Created by The Care Bears, Omega and Sync. Consists of six sub demos (on F1-F6).

Fully GEMmed interface for ease of use. Has the ability to include graphics in Degas, Tiny, Neo and IMG formats as well as text, values and formulae. Works in colour and mono. Several sample databases and a full manual included. Now features its own database programming language and maths co-processor support. Registered users get a printed manual and a version with the data file size restriction removed. MOUSE TRICKS v2 by Jonathan Lawrence - An impressive update to the program on UTL.302. Mouse tricks is an ACC which gives extensive control over mouse movement and menu style as well as using joystick buttons for certain special effects. There are as many as 20 different settings and preferred defaults can be saved for later use. Up to 40 programs can have mouse tricks activated in different modes when they are run. These settings can also be saved. There are simply too many functions in Mouse Tricks to mention, suffice to say it is highly recommended. Apart from certain (but not all) functions being disabled after 20 minutes and the text reader only being able to hold one document in memory instead of 8, this program is fully useable. It's simply too extensive to classify as a demo. Full version available from The ST Club. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 4 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE.

WINDMILL. THE ATARI EXHIBITION - This is one of the best Atari sites on the Internet. It was unforgivable that those you who are not on- line should miss out on it! The Atari Exhibition is something of a collector's item for Atari enthusiasts everywhere and charts Atari's history from its foundation by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 to the merger with JTS Corporation in 1996. There background information and photographs of almost every computer manufactured by Atari from Pong the rough the 8-bit machines to the ST, TT, Falcon and eventually the Jaguar. Even the MicroBox, proposed successor to the Falcon, gets a showing. The launch of the ST at CES is covered and there's photographs of the Tramiels, Nolan Bushnell and other "celebrities". Although the site is heavily graphical in its nature, there's masses to read and it really gives an insight into the rise and fall of Atari Corporation. There's also plenty of live links to other Atari related sites on the Net. Please note, some images may require 2Mb or more, otherwise they will appear blank. In order to use this disk, you will require a Web browser such as CAB (on DMG.5556). TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FLANGE-L, FLANGE_L, FLASLA__, FLBC____, FLEBC___, FLEMISH, FLEMISH1, FLEMISHI, FLEMISH_, FLEMIS_H, FLEMIS__, FLEMLTFY, FLETCHER, FLEURONS, FLEU____, FLORLN. Signum fonts for 24 pin printers .

ANALMETA - Prints information on the contents of a .GEM file. BOOTPIC - Assembler source for loading ART, NEO, PI1, TN1 files from the bootsector. Also included is source for loading NEO or PI1, then a program, from the bootsector. GIFFER - Displays GIF files on a mono monitor. GRABBER2 - After installation, press ALT+HELP to save the current screen to a memory buffer then select the ACC to save to disk. IDEALIMG - Allows you to set the resolution in the header of an IMG file to that of your output device (9- pin, 24-pin, laser). This is invaluable in programs like Touch Up and Pagestream where it helps preserve the aspect ratio. LSYSTEM - Creates user defined objects from fractals. Enter your instructions in its own fully documented programming language to create new objects. The fractals created can be saved in Degas format. GIFVIEW - Two programs which display GIF pictures using the 16 most popular colours or a combination of grey scales. Because these programs are so small, large GIF pictures can be loaded on a 520. MANDELTOY - A mandelbrot set generator which allows output to disk or printer. You can set the amount of iterations as well as the X and Y coordinates. ND_SNAP - Yet another snapshot accessory. PHRAQTAL - Yet another fractal generator. This one is certainly the fastest yet and has more user definable options than most. PIXPRO II - Improves the contrast on colour pictures created using video digitisers so they can be used as clip art. Includes source in GFA Basic. SNAPSHOT - Saves a snapshot of the screen to disk in NEO format after pressing ALT+HELP. SPCSHOW - Simply displays an SPC picture on screen. Also included are assembler source files for displaying Spectrum 512 compressed and uncompressed files. SPEC2DEG - Converts Spectrum uncompressed pictures to Degas format. Also included is a program which converts Spectrum compressed to Spectrum uncompressed. SPRITE ST - A sprite designer which also allows animation to be created. Includes a detailed description of the file format used. SQUEEZIM - Uses maximum compression on IMG files. Especially useful when using IMG files which are not compressed or inefficiently compressed by other programs. STADCONV - Assembler source to convert STAD pictures to and from 32k screen image format. SYNTHETIC ARTS V3 by The Cybernetics - An impressive full featured art package with a host of features. Has a similar 'feel' to Neochrome. This program can be set up in French or English. TNY BOOT - Loads up a TNY picture at boot up. VIDI2DLT - converts a series of sequentially numbered Degas PI1 files into a single DLT animation file. Useful for digitised animations such as those created by Vidi ST. A LITTLE BIT INSANE by Lazer of Independent - Another tracker demo. The intro features eight-track stereo music. This is followed by the menu from which you choose your music. It has a four track graphic equaliser which moves to the beat of the music. There are seven stereo tracks to listen to. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. MKRSC - An RSC construction kit. Although very capable, this program does not allow you to edit RSC files created by other editors. In addition, you cannot use icons or bit mapped graphics in your files. What you can do is create and edit your own RSC files and output their associated C header files. OFAKE - Creates a 'fake' drive O under Multi-TOS. Drive U (unified file system) is then mapped onto O:\. This is useful if your file selector (or application) will not allow you to access drive letters beyond P. RAMFS V1.4 by Thierry Bousch - A re-sizeable ramdisk for use with Multi- TOS. It installs as U:\ram and simply grows or shrinks as required to accomodate its contents, returning unused memory to the OS pool. Another advantage of using RAMFS is that it allows filenames to be up to 35 characters long (useful if Minix is installed). ROTATOR V0.60 by Simon Coward - This is a utility for use with SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 or later. It allows you to apply the most incredible effects to vector fonts. Your text can be angled, rotated or arched and you can apply circular text effects, 3D effects (up to 200 layers are possible!) and shadows. You can even have 'exploding' text. The manipulated text is then saved out in IMG format ready for incorporating into your favourite DTP package. This Shareware version does not let you enter your own text, register for 5 to overcome the restriction. TIMEZONE V1.0 by Phillipe Abel - A CPX which allows you to set your current time zone relative to GMT. It also allows you to set 'daylight savings' (the difference between summer time and regular time). These values are handled by a Cookie in the Cookie Jar and can be used to calculate the time in GMT as opposed to system time for applications which require it. It's also a useful aid for calculating time difference if calling abroad! TIME_201.FIX by Nial Grimes - A text file detailing the installation procedure needed to get Timeworks v2.01 up and running with SpeedoGDOS. Also includes a print accelerator and the correct width files for 9-pin, 24-pin and Laser/Deskjet printers. N_PUBLISH v2.01 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Allows you to use up to four different printer setups with Timeworks Publisher 2. Fiddly to set up but once installed you simplty select the printer you wish to use for the current session and this program installs the correct ASSIGN.SYS and PUBLISH.WID files. PHODATA V1.1 by Simon Coward - A specialised database aimed at photographers. It lets you enter the sheet number, photograph number and date. Space is given for a two line description, followed by notes on the location and equipment used. Records may be called up by their number or searched (across fields) and printed out if desired. There's also a memo facility which lets you enter notes which will not be printed out. ST INTRO by Joseph Rodrigues - A tutorial on using the ST's desktop. Simply click onto the menu items (which mirror those on the GEM Desktop) and an explanation of each item and its function is given. An ideal 'get you started' guide for new users. TCB Tracker modules disk 9 by Brian Ross . Files are D_STAR, JUSTLOVE, RSI_RISE, SISTERX2, TUERKES. POWER #18 July 1994 - Another packed issue for you, with lots more humourous and computer related files. Features include LZH packing, what is GIF, Amiga v ST, the history of mother in laws, the school stoppers text book, computer poetry and the lamer test. There's a preview of a hot new game that's going to hit the scenes soon called Raving Spin Doctors, plus all the regular features including adverts, mini puzzles, competitions, info, columns etc. Reviews include the Falcon 030, Snacman and the Jaguar. This Shareware magazine is fun to read even if you know nothing about computers. Well worth the small registration fee to get all the extra goodies. METACOMCO PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES IN C - Should convert easily to other compilers. Includes some executable programs. PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES USING SHAREWARE C (LAN.05) - This disk, by Terry Billany contains example programs as well as corrected and/or extended versions of libraries on LAN.05. NOT TOS 1.4 upwards.

MIDIMAN97 by Sorcerer Sound Productions - 4 PAN files (patch controllers) for use with Hollis Research's MIDIman. Files are: GM70.PAN, PROMMER.PAN, SDE.PAN, SPX50D.PAN. These files are only of use to you if you have a copy of MIDIman and one of the above synths. THEMIX - 8 MIDI files set up specifically for use on Roland synthesizers, although they are in SMF Type 0 format and could therefore be used with any synth. Rock, Blues and Reggae styles. THING V1.09e by Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder - An excellent Desktop replacement program and what s more it s Shareware THING supports TOS versions from 1.4 onwards and provides most of the TOS 2 Desktop features plus many extras. In addition to the base drive trashcan folder program and file icons THING adds a clipboard printer and parent icons. Each different file type can be assigned its own icon using Edit Icons which is one of many options from the Extra menu. Program folder and file Icons can all be dragged from windows onto the Desktop where a duplicate appears. To run the programs all you do is click on its Desktop Icon. You can also launch a program by dragging an appropriate data file onto the Desktop Icon. It even supports object groups the AV protocol the Font protocols and integrates seamlessly with Kobold ALICE ST Guide and several other programs. Well documented. Can be used as a replacement to the GEM Desktop or as the alternative Desktop for Multi-TOS Geneva MagiC MagiCMac etc. One of the best replacement Desktops around. THING is currently part of a UK registration scheme organised by Joe Connor. Highly Recommended. BACKUP DESTRUCTION UTILITY by Richard Karsmakers - Allows you to get rid of all backup files in a single operation. You can specify the extensions of up to 8 different types of backup files you want zapped . BDU allows you to exclude any directories up to 8 per partition or even the entire partition from the process and the backup files may be moved to a specified directory rather than deleted. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. CHARMAP5 V0.9 by Peter Hellinger - A companion program for SpeedoGDOS 5 which allows you to access the extra characters in TrueType and Type 1 fonts which lie above the 256 character limitation of the ASCII character set. These may then be incorporated into your font tables so that they can be used within SpeedoGDOS aware applications. Please note that this utility does NOT work with SpeedoGDOS v4 or other GDOS variants ONLY SpeedoGDOS 5. The program is in English but the docs are German although we ve done a RUF translation. Also note that Charmap5 requires Peter Hellinger s Magic program on disk in order to run . MAGIC MODULAR APPLICATIONS GEM INTERFACE MAGIC 4.00 by Peter Helinger - An alternative GEM interface for Magic aware applications. Not to be confused with MagiC from Application Systems Heidelberg. Magic 4.00 runs under TOS Multi-TOS or MagiC. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. Charmap5 also on disk is Magic aware. ICONIFY SERVER ICFS by Dirk Haun - Allows you to iconify shrink down to the size of an icon any open window in the same way as is possible with Multi-TOS. This program allows you to use iconification under ordinary TOS and MagiC. Currently Kandinsky and a few programs including IconMan and Yukon support the iconify protocol. Clip Art in GEM format . 285 files on disk! Stereo Samples . Eight stereo samples and a digi picture. Listen to thunder, the tardis, a toad, a guitar, a panflute, an F18 aircraft, laughter of a kookaburra. 1 Meg memory. STE ONLY. NO LIMIT II v1.07 - Another great Shareware Pinball machine simulator. You get the usual three balls and control the flippers in an attempt to keep a ball in play as long as possible. There are extras such as bonuses, jackpots, targets and extra balls. It offers fast and furious action on a longer than usual screen. Are you the Pinball Wizard? Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. ST+ #24 JANUARY 1998 - When is a diskzine not a diskzine? Simple, when it's metamorphosising into a fanzine! Put simply, this month's issue is still the ST+ diskzine, but not as we know it. It is now in HTML format complete with a copy of the CAB browser software. The last "real" ST+ was issue 23 and this issue acts as an advertisement for the new ST+ Fanzine (a monthly printed mag from Dave Hollis and friends). This issue tells you how and where to get it. It is a cut down version of the ST+ Web pages and tells you everything you want to know about the new fanzine and gives user profiles (complete with mugshots) of the ST+ team. There's also an article about the history of ST+ and another on their decision to go paper based. This issue is probably more of a collector's issue than a "real" diskzine. Not to be missed by loyal ST+ readers. 22 DELUXE PAINT ST FONTS - In FON and IFF format. Fonts are 5THDIMEN, ACKERLIG, BACKLASH, DEATHSTA, DEFJAM, EMPIRE, EXCEPTIO, FAIRLIGH, FREESTYL, FUTURETA, JEWELS, KNIGHTHA, LAWBREAK, MEGAFORC, MFC, NORTHSTA, RBB, SINNERS, TETRAGON, TGM-CREW, TRAZION.

THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This three disk set contains the complete texts of The Old Testament and The New Testament (King James V edition) as well as the unregistered version of the top selling card filing system Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike other bible collections, this one has had every chapter and verse checked for accuracy and completeness. The database is huge (around 4.5 Megabytes) and must be decompressed onto 7 DS floppies or a hard drive. Users with plenty of memory can merge the data into two or three files to enable fast cross referencing throughout the bible. However, these merged files can only be saved with the registed version of Supercard 3 (10 from the author). Another program is provided to allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or ASCII formats although we're sure you'd rather use Supercard 3! This is an excellent compilation for clergymen, historians and scholars and demonstrates Supercard to its full potential. What's more, loading the largest data file from hard drive takes only a few seconds as do searches across the entire text! B.BYTES DEMO DISK - Demos of 3 commercial releases from B.Bytes. B.SPELL - A spelling program with pictures and digi sound for young children. The demo only has pictures A to F enabled. PLAY SPELL - A platforms and ladders game in which you wander around collecting letters to make up a word. The demo only has 2 of the 20 screens enabled. SCHOOL TIME MATHS - A non-interactive demo. Covers seven different topics from elementary maths. Features digitised speech. PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally arrived on the Atari thanks to Doug Little's porting of the PC sources. This latest version is downwardly compatible with POV 2.2 but with dozens of new features and bug fixes. Amongst the new features is the ability to render a screen preview when running on a Falcon. Another major improvement is the incorporation of the faster routines from FTPOV. Like v2.2, this version features hundreds of scenes for you to render yourself, all grouped according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual's huge, running to over 800K and is very well written, starting out with an easy to understand introduction to ray tracing, then moving progressively to the more advanced stuff. It also includes several detailed tutorials, all aimed at different ability levels. All support files for these tutorials are also included in the package. In addition there are a few Atari specific files detailing the Atari specific features of POV 3. You can run POV 3 from a CLI or from Dirk Klemmt's POVShell which has been included for your convenience. We have also included Dirk Klemmt's POV Tools which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones and spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects. Please note that this package does not include the source code. There's over 6 Mb of data crammed onto these disks! Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive (if you don't have a hard drive, we recommend the POV 2 package on ART.4514, ART.4515 & ART.4516). This is the 68000 (i.e. ST) and 68000 + FPU (an optional extra in the Mega ST/Mega STE) version. Versions for 68030/040 processors are also available (in the Falcon catalogue). 22 GDOS fonts ( 12 & 16 point) converted from Calamus . Both screen and printer fonts are included. These fonts are designed for use with a mono monitor and a laser (or deskjet) printer. Fonts are CASUAL LOOSE, CHANCERY, CURSIVE CONDENSED, MS/CURSIVE, HARLOE, MS/LEGEND, GALLIA, OLD ENGLISH, REVUE, SAVINGS, STUDY ~1989. Fantasia by Tony Barker - shows hardware scrolling manipulating solid 3D sprites. Same stereo soundtrack as DEM.470C! Press SPACE to take control of the scrolling from keyboard or mouse. Some really smart animation can be seen. Needs 1 Meg memory but will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg. STE ONLY. ST ALADDIN V1.2 - A full functional comms program occupying an entire disk. Much faster than previous versions. Now it automatically uses extra RAM if fitted and has an entirely new front end. Packed with features but primarily intended for GEnie systems. PLATFORM CAPERS by Kay Downes - Similar in concept to Donkey Kong, this game requires that you collect four keys on various levels before returning to your exit door. Jumping over rolling barrels is only one of the requirements! EVASION 2 by Chris Skellern - Manoeuver the Evader around a maze, collecting the marked tiles as you go. Time is in short supply. Extra lives are awarded after each level. Collect flashing bonus markers for extra lives, mines, smart bombs and freeze pills. Similar in concept to pacman, but much faster and more involved. RUNAWAY - The original hyperfast tunnel scraper. Hugely addictive! THE RETURN OF JUSSE by Chris Skellern - Your mission is to find and return the last eight cocoons of Jusse to the mothership before time runs out. Once collected, the craft is docked so that lift-off can commence. Lasers are used to rupture steel doors and to destroy sentinals. The craft operates likes a lunar lander with thrust controllable in all four directions. By the author of Runaway and Avina Blue. Music by Gary Wheaton. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. MIDIBAK Styles - 42 drum and percussion styles in .MID format. There are 7 broad groups:- African, Dance, Jazz, Latin, Reggae, Rock and SoulFunk. The tracks are very well done and several (8 to 98!) bars long. There are 2 versions of each file; one as a single merged track and a second with each drum occupying a separate track. If you usually use only a fraction of your kit's available sounds this will show you how it's done! Shareware from MIDIMUSE SEQ, registration gets you another 84 styles. MID_UTIL - A folder containing 4 programs which make changes to MIDI type 0 files. CTL_TRIM - Strips notes from the file where the control event is zero. ONE_TEMPO - Rescales clocks between each MIDI event to a constant tempo. Useful for synchronising a song to a drum machine etc. QUANTMID - Allows a file to be quantised without altering the way it sounds, i.e. it can make a song played rubato tidy enough for printing as notation. REMV_SUS - Strips out sustain events and moves Note Off events to compensate. The result sounds the same but takes less memory. Note again that these programs do not work with MIDI type 1 files. MOLD 1 by Declan Stanley - A Shareware text adventure game created using AGT on LAN.25. The game is set in Outer Space and has 112 locations. TOP OF THE POPS by R Hill - A text based game for up to 8 players. You play the part of the owner of a record company. Can you make it to number 1? Some help files are included.

You can customise the call charges and charging rates to reflect those appropriate to where you dial for your Internet access. It knows about time zones, standard, cheap rate and weekend call tariffs as well as minimum call charges. It even includes the VAT! What's more, you can clear all old data when you pay the bill so that remaining data is valid for the next one. MODEM CONFIG V0.1B by Xavier Lucroze - Gives information on the speed, serial number and country code of your modem. AVALON V3.76 by Stephan Slabihoud - An alternative to Tiny-Shell. It is a GEM based shell for points in a FidoNet or compatible system. It is of use to individuals who have their own point setup and also to BBS sysops as it allows them to automate many routine tasks such as generating user lists, performing unattended polling, file requests, setting up a msgbase, hatching files, converting pointlists and nodelists in uselists etc. Please note that you will also need a mailer program (Binkley Term or Semper), an importer (Llegada or JetMail) and a message editor (LED). THE LITTLE VILLIAN MORSE TUTOR by Gareth Jones - Designed to help get you through your morse code test for your amateur radio licence. It sends you 60 strings, each consisting of 5 random letters, numbers or a combination of the two. Any string of characters can be entered and converted into morse. Even an ASCII file can be converted. PHILOSOPHICAL FACES -Engravings from the Victorian era showing "mental types" eg: greed, frivolity, brutality etc. All are 300 dpi or 400 dpi scans in IMG format. Files are RUFFIAN, RUSTIC,SHAMLESS, SORDID, STUPID, SUPERSTI. CLOZE IN by ETC Sotware, New Zealand - Allows pupils to add suitable words to a story. They have to fill in the blanks, based on the clues provided and according to the length of the words required. Each story occupies about a page of text and tests the pupil's ingenuity. Printer output is supported. INTERPRETER - A well designed and easy to use English to French translation program. In view of the rather limited scope of vocabulary, the translation is of the 'Franglais type'. The greatest asset here is the ability to add new words to the vocabulary in a very simple manner. The program will also tell you the gender of any noun in the dictionary. This was originally a French pogram and is about 95% translated into English for ease of use. It also allows you to translate from German to French but it is not as proficient in this department. ROMANS - A collection of pictures which chart out a brief history of the Roman migrations and conquests around Italy, Africa, Greece etc; from around 754BC to 44BC. V OKTRAIN - A well presented, interactive vocabulary system for learning words in French, German and English. Choose the system required i.e. English to French etc. The accents and characters required in both languages are available for use from the keyboard. Mixed testing is also possible. There are good facilities for editing and recording your progress. Each word is preceded by its gender - i.e. 'der hund', 'la maison' etc. Highly recommended. AUTOBORT - Allows you to bypass items in the Auto folder after a reset. AUTOVIEW - Automatically displays an ASCII file called READ.ME on bootup. You can scroll through the file and Quit to the Desktop when you're finished. CLIPBRD 1.3 - An implementation of the standard GEM clipboard as specified by DRI. It allows programs which support it to share data between each other. It is ideally suited for hard drive or ramdisk use. COLOUR EMU - Allows you to run some colour programs on a mono monitor. Obviously fast action games are out but applications are fine. Runs on TOS 1.2 ONLY! DEMOPATCH - Modifies the bootsectors of any demo using the Carebears protected bootsector, so that it will run on an STE. ECOPYA - Copies files to and from Drive A from any other drive. Its strength lies in the fact that it can split large files between multiple floppies and then recombine them. EDIT V2.1 - Allows you to edit existing ASCII files or create your own and add colour to your text. The necessary information to retain the colours saves out in your file. Useful for editing BBS files or simply jazzing up your readmes. EPROMDSK - Creates a ramdisk into which you copy up to 128K of data which you want to put into a cartridge. It then splits the data correctly into two 64k files ready for burning into the Eproms. Obviously you need an Eprom programmer to put the end result into the Eproms. ESS ESSCODE V6.4 - Yet another implementation of the Uuencode/Uudecode protocol used for converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems like Internet which does not support binary transfer. The software also converts them back to binary. This implementation is GEM based, Multi-TOS compatible and very fast. FPU V2.3a - Lets you archive all files in a specified directory in a single operation. It supports ARC, LZH and ZIP archivers, although you must have a copy of the relevant archiver program. Unfortunately it only supports files, not directories. FUJIBOOT PRO - Displays the Atari logo when you boot up, just like TOS 2.06 upwards. GEMBENCH V4.03 by Ofir Gal - A comprehensive benchmarking program which tests your ST/STE/TT Falcon against other models. It can also be used to test the effectiveness of screen accelerators and such like. This latest version allows comparisons to be made between more exotic hardware setups like the PAK 68/3, Gemulator, CaTTamaran, Medusa, Magic Mac and various ST processor accelerator boards including the T28 and T36. GEM_PS 1.2 - Displays information on processes running under MINT or Multi-TOS. GMAP - Displays your hard drive useage graphically. It shows groups of data clusters and tells you if defragmentation is necessary. JUMP START V2.5 - A Gem based shell which allows you to select which file to execute, from a list of 63. Each file description can be up to 20 characters in length. RAMINIT - Copies specified files into a ramdisk on bootup. What it copies is determined by the use of a script file. The program can also be used for carrying out various CLI type commands on files at bootup. STFA V4.0 - Speeds up text printing (and scrolling) to the screen. It accepts all VT52 commands so is compatible with most software. TITED V0.67 - Displays an ASCII file in a GEM window in any resolution. You can scroll backwards and forwards and search. Scrolling is both fast and smooth. English and French language versions supplied. TT TIME - Checks to see if your TT's realtime clock is keeping time accurately. If not, the supplied CPX moves your system clock on by a specified number of seconds at specified intervals to compensate. TURBO QZ - A replacement for the Desktop's 'Show' command. It goes into an Auto folder and does not need to be reloaded each time you want to view a file. It lets you scroll up as well as down. RAVE THE CHRISTMAS by The DBA - The first Christmas demo on the Falcon written around Christmas 1994. It starts off with a short animation of Santa walking into his log cabin followed by scene where snow bubbles fall all around the cabin. Throughout the demo a clever mix of Christmas Carols and rave music is intermixed with some digitised speech. A bit unconventional but not bad for showing at a Christmas party Needs 4 Meg. CHIPBOXES 1, 2, 3 by Zuul - Between the three chip box programs there are twenty seven chip music tunes to listen to, whose combined length is well over two hours twenty minutes. There's a total of 1858 individual patterns with the compilation running to almost 1400K! Whilst the sound plays there are a few screens of text giving you some background on the tunes. There's also quite a few packed tunes (unpacker included) on the disk which are over and above those included in the demos. Well composed and worth hearing.

ST+ ISSUE 2, FEBRUARY 1996 - Dan Hollis returns with issue 2 before we've even finished reading issue 1! This issue is looking more organised with its 40+ articles arranged into logical categories. There's part 2 of NeoDesk Secrets, a news column and a letters page as well as a rather heated Sci-Fi section where Peter takes Dan to task for some inaccurate (?) comments in issue 1. If that's not enough, Peter goes on to design the replacement to the Space Shuttle!

FRANKREICH CLIPART - A Collection of 42 massive IMG scans taken from photographs of France. The scans are diverse featuring national landmarks as well as general pictures portraying the French men and women in typical work and leisure situations. Probably compiled from photographs taken by a German tourist. These scans a very large and are therefore really intended to be loaded into a DTP package and printed at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Most of them require more than 1 Meg.

MODs are COMPLICA, CONCERT, DEMONS, EQUINOX5, JM_JARRE, MADNESS, OPERATE, OXYGENE2, REV, WHITE. DEATH OF A PRESIDENT - An impressive 3 disk set which investigates the assasination of John F Kennedy in 1963. The first disk contains a photographic database with accompanying text. The second is a collection of digitised recordings and extensive text files forming the background to the investigation. The final disk takes you to the scene of the crime immediately after it occured. You must investigate and come to your own conclusions. All data is based on evidence given to the Warren Commision and subsequent investigations. A factual historical investigation which pulls no punches. Highly recommended. DBA MAG #6 (Sept '92) by The Disk Busters Association . Another two disk set and I'm afraid you need both disks. This issue features a massive 24 interviews with demo writers and a program on disk which interviews you! There are 11 pieces of music to listen to and all the regulars like the GFA, assembler and STOS programming stuff, demo news, pop news, Hi-Fi corner, jokes, poems, CD reviews and so on. The intro to the mag is one of the best I've ever seen. It was written by Synergy and the first disk would be worth getting for this alone, never mind the other software on disk or the disk mag itself! Programs on disk include a cracked version of the demo 'My Socks Are Weapons', a great bootsector maker/ripper, a fixer to make The Megatizer (on issue 5) run on TOS 1.2, an improved Protracker mod player, a Thesaurus which runs as an ACC, a MOD player which allows you to double click .MOD files to play them, and a couple of 'silly' utilities. The mag itself features articles on BBC Select, the European Union debate, FAST news, computer stories, piracy, user interface design, the ST scene in Finland and comms on the ST. There's a whole section devoted to the Falcon, reports from the Dusseldorf Messe and the SUCC in Finland. There are countless reviews, previews etc and a whole lot more. Once again the usual warning on bad language (although there isn't so much of it in this issue). Needs 1 Meg. THE MODULE COLLECTION 1 by JSD . Boots up with a demo, then exits to a MOD player.

DR WHO QUIZ - Just how much do you know about the TV series Dr Who This program takes the form of a quiz firing random questions at you. The database is fairly large so you will usually be presented with different questions each time. After ten questions you are informed of your score. Screenshots from the series appear throughout the quiz and you can listen to the theme tune if you have Paula FALC.4867 running. Theoretically Dr Who Quiz is meant to run on any Falcon in 256 colour mode but I ve only been able to get it running under MagiC. Needs 4Mb.

(Un)fortunately you have to let each demo take its course before progressing to the next. The 3D solid graphics, 3D maze and music throughout are very well done. SYNTH DREAM II by Eternal Developments - The main feature of the demo is a menu from which you can select 16 different tunes. There are several small animations, all with sound, both before and after the main menu. Highly amusing animations of Mad Max! Needs 1 Meg.

This excellent diskmag is a great help to anyone who uses or is thinking of using the 3D Construction Kits. ZORG V2.08 by Ludovic Rousseau - A Shareware disk sector editor which is GEM based and allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously in different windows. As well as allowing you to edit disk sectors, it can also optimise hard drive partitions. Extended file systems such as Minix or Mac partitions are not supported but you can access individual files on them if the appropriate driver has been loaded prior to ZORG. Some of ZORG's features are quite advanced and include the ability to change a directory or FAT entry directly. The ability to check the file structure for any given disk or hard drive partition, and repair it if necessary, is undoubtedly one of this product's major selling points. On-line help is available by way of ST Guide (UTL.5557) help files. Probably the best disk editing tool available. Inventory Pro. A shareware program written by the creators of the Dbman series. A stock inventory program for the small business. STOS Basic update to v2.6, STOS Compiler updater and Fun School 2 updater. These programs modify your master disks so that programs created with STOS (including compiled programs) can run on all STs (including the STE with TOS v1.62). Also on disk are a couple of programs designed to allow STOS Basic to load into any ST, STE, TT or Falcon and modify compiled programs to run on TOS versions above 1.62. The success rate of the latter is low but it's worth a try if you are experiencing problems with the mouse jamming on STOS programs. Clip Art (EXPLORERS, SHIPS) in IMG format. Files are CARTIER, FERDINAN, GIRL, HENRYV11, ICEBERG, ICEFLOW, INDIANS, JAMES1ST, MEDALS, MONGOLS, SHIP, SHIP2, SHIP3, UTENSILS, VESPUCCI, WOMAN. RUFUS - A Shareware comms package from Germany.

Full file compatibility with Opus Xpress for the PC. This program will run with some restrictions on a 520 but is intended for 1 Meg or more. A SELECTION OF GAMES MOSTLY TETRIS CLONES FROM THE ST . BOBBLE - This Tetris has yet more variations on the theme than most. The original shows its age comparing it to this one. COLUMNS - Columns of three squares travel down the screen. Rows must be made of the same type of square which then disappear. Stop the squares from reaching the top of the screen. KLATRIX - Tiles fall down the screen use the joystick to move them left right or cycle through the colours. Three tiles of the same colour in a row causes the row to vanish. Stop the tiles from reaching the top of the screen. MR DICE - A puzzle game where you must shoot descending dice with dice of the same colour and number in order to make the advancing lines retreat. Control is by joystick. Each level requires a different solution. Simple but addictive fun. SIRTET - Yet another version of Tetris. Different shaped blocks fall from the top of the screen. Using the joystick you must stop the piles of blocks from reaching the top of the playing area by making complete horizontal lines. STETRIS - A novel adaptation of Tetris. You can start on any one of 10 different levels play at any one of 3 skill levels load and save high score tables and show or hide the next piece. Very well implemented keyboard controlled but keys are redefinable. BABY MUGLUCK - The only game on the disk not to be inspired by Tetris This is a Shareware game by Ralph Effemey. Help Baby Mugluck find his mummy whilst avoiding a variety of hazards including rocks and some deadly snails. Milk bottles and rusks picked up along the way provide Baby Mugluck with extra energy. A very colourful and lively platforms and ladders game with a large number of different screens to explore. Highly recommended. SCHNIPP SCHNAPP V1.08 by Fred Nicklisch - Lets you chop up any file into several pieces and then recombine it at a later date. Its purpose is to allow you to transfer files between machines which are too large to fit onto a floppy disk. Both Atari and PC versions of the program are supplied.

Very comprehensive Shareware package. Includes a listing of UK fax stations which you can tune in to. IMG MIXER v1.10 by Matthias Wallmann - A companion program for the Gemini and Ease replacement Desktops. It allows you to use a randomly selected IMG as a Desktop backdrop for these systems. With IMG Mixer in the Auto folder and the correct paths set an image appropriate to the current resolution is selected randomly and displayed behind your Desktop icons. Lots of images are supplied on disk but regrettably they are all for use on monochrome systems. Any colour IMGs can be used in their place. Please note that you MUST have either Ease or Gemini installed in your system otherwise IMG Mixer will do nothing. Docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation. KILL DRIVE B by Erling Henanger - Allows you to add or remove logical drives. Useful if you want to prevent TOS seeing a Minix partition or want to use an external hard drive which you forgot to switch on at boot up. MAGIC IDE PATCH V2.1 by Daniel Hedberg - Allows you to bypass the check for the presence of an IDE drive when using MagiC v4.02. Invaluable if you use an external SCSI device and have no internal IDE drive. Performs the same function as FastBoot on FALC.5017 exceopt that this patch is for MagiC rather than TOS. IMPLODER by Hackbear - A port of the Amiga file packer of the same name. It can pack both executables and data files and dragging a packed file Imploder packed of course to it results in an unpacked version of that file being resaved. INFINITE RETRY by Chris Strevens - Prevents the computer from timimg out if the printer is busy. Particularly useful when printing large files to laser printers as it supresses the Printer is not responding error usually when printing large files . SCREEN MOVER II by Xavier Joubert - Lets you centre the screen on the monitor or TV. Once centred you can save your configuration and need never set it up again. Particularly useful for overscan modes which are seldom centred correctly. RGB ONLY. TECHNOBUG by Joaqu n Ferrero - A GFA listing GFA Basic required to patch the ESC bug in Technobox CAD/2. WP2 by Robert Best - Converts 1st Word Wordplus 2 3 files to WordPerfect 5 format. It also converts WordPerfect 5 6 files to Wordplus 2 format. DEVICES - Displays the capacity in Mb of each hard drive partition as well as the transfer rate for the individual partitions along with some other information such as number of files number of folders etc. GEMMA STOS V1.72 by Paul Jones and friends - An extension for STOS Basic which lets you use GEM calls within STOS! Yes, you can use it to create window based applications in STOS Basic, multi-tasking is even be possible as is 256 colour display on the Falcon. The intention is that GEMMA will eventually become a complete re-write of STOS, for the meantime it consists of an interpreter extension, a compiler extension and a replacement STOS Basic loader. Well documented and worth a look. You will require the original STOS Basic interpreter (if you also have the compiler, all the better), otherwise you will be unable to use GEMMA. DRI2GNU by Joerg Hessdoerfer - Converts DRI object code (as generated by most Atari compilers) to GNU C/C++ object files. EC PAINT by Haakon Eines - Full GFA Basic and assembler sources to the impressive monochrome graphics package of the same name on ART.5111M. TEXT ANALYSER v1.9.2 by Dan Ackerman - Analyses any ASCII text file and gives you info on the number of letters syllables words lines and sentences in the document. It further breaks this down to average letters per word average syllables per word average words per sentence etc. Now runs from an easy to use GEM interface thanks to Mario Becroft. TOS_X V0.96 - Causes the system to pause after exiting a TOS program so that you can read any text printed to the screen. BOOTXS V2.21 by Christer Gustavsson - A GEM program which allows you to specify which Auto folder programs ACCs CPXs DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF MINT.CNF GEM.CNF etc are to be loaded next time you boot up. Very easy to use and much better thought out than many similar programs. This latest version now runs from the Auto folder despite being GEM based. Certain restrictions on this version register for the full version. CHARACTER TABLE V1.3 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with Xcontrol. It displays the entire system font and shows the ASCII hex decimal octal and binary values for any selected character. ELEGANCE by Tim Chapman - An ACC which replaces the built-in system font with a Mac-like equivalent. GEMAR V3.06 by Steffen Engel - An easy to use GEM based package which allows you to backup hard drive partitions to SCSI based tape streamers. This Shareware release creates TAR compatibles archives so that tapes created with GEMAR can be read on Unix systems and vice versa. Data may be stored compressed or uncompressed and external archiver programs of your choice may be used. Backups can be made in GEMDOS mode or as image backups especially useful for non-TOS based partitions although the later functions is reserved along with several others for registered users. GEMAR now has both English and German docs and includes its own extensive on-line Help system. Multi-TOS and MagiC device drivers allowing you to connect a tape streamer are also supplied. MOUSEBUTTON by Frogsoft - Reverses the mouse buttons so that the left button acts as the right and vice versa. Useful if you left button is broken and you don t want to buy a new mouse FALCONF v1.06 by Christoph Wissing - A CPX for use with Xcontrol which lets you alter numerous Falcon specific settings.

If you have v1.2b or later you do not need it. STIC V2.12 by Peter Matulat and J rgen Arthofer - A Freeware EPROM programmer package. It was designed primarily for use as a replacement driver for the EPROM programmers produced by Dr B hm GmbH address given for kit of parts but can communicate with other EPROM programmers using external modules and guidance is given on how to create your own. Although not included in the distribution drivers for PL-Computerzubeh r s RSEPROMMER and Maxon s Junior Prommer were under development when this package was released. STIC can read and copy ROMs and EPROMs as well as read an IMG created from a ROM image. In fact it can even create an IMG of your ROMs so that you can patch the system to suit and reblow it into fresh EPROMs. The software even allows the creation of patch files to help you do the job and supplies patches for TOS v1.4 2.06 and 3.06 Files are split into low and high bytes by the software although it can also handle already split files. Larger capacity EPROMs can also be programmed by using a special adaptor which is available from the authors. In fact the software can handle anything from 32K to 512K devices. STIC talks to EPROM programmers which connect to the serial port and it is perfectly possible that it might work with hardware from other computer platforms eg Mac or PC . Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. PAGESTREAM 2.1 DEMO - An excellent demo of Soft Logik's best selling DTP package. This version is fully functional apart from the fact that you can't save your work. The Pagestream fonts and sample pages from our Pagestream support disks will load into it and give you an idea of what the package is capable of. TCB TRACKER MODULES with player program .

FALCON UPDATE 8 by The Falcon Owners Group - Another jam packed issue from FOG. This one starts off with a great intro which combines photographic images with raytracings and has an excellent stereo soundtrack running throughout. The intro also features various solid 3D shapes scaling and rotating in real time. The mag itself covers everything Falcon related which has been happening over the last few months and quite a lot of general interest material of interest to Atari owners. There s news of the Barracuda 040 board Supersam v1.08 Stello 2 an Othello clone Stereo CAD OKAMI Newsreader an offline mail and news reader for internet and mausnet use and much more besides. The MiGraph ColourBurst hand scanner is reviewed as is the game Starburst. There s a report from the Future Entertainment Show an article on a recent visit to Atari US by a member of the team and an extensive Jaguar section which looks at the latest Jag news forthcoming games Jag peripherals including the new CD player and some recent press releases from Atari and others. There s an interview with Laser of Independent and plenty more that we have not even touched upon. Well worth getting hold of if you want to know what s going on in the Atari World and further afield too. The intro needs 4 Meg but can be bypassed if you have less. The mag itself runs on a 1 Meg machine but requires a hard drive. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 .

OxieWare CALAMUS FONTS - A superb collection of semi-professional Calamus fonts from Sweden. They are ALL complete implementations and are of a much higher standard than the usual PD and Shareware fonts. The OxieWare collection spans 8 HD disks. Here s a brief description of what s on the individual disks. CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your name and chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read (or run) it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to its original state. DTCOOKIE V1.2 by Christoph Zwerschke - Adds international date and time cookies to the Cookie Jar. These control the keyboard language and layout and how the date and time are displayed. Their default settings are taken from non-volatile RAM and can be changed by software. With these cookies installed, when they are changed, the changes remain active for all applications. Many dual language applications use these cookies to determine which language RSC to load. Docs in German but with a RUF translation. DUB'S PRINTER SPEEDER V1.01 - Claims to speed up printing by up to 50 times. Similar to iPRN and Fpprint. MSX0 V0.12 by F van Heusden - Does anyone remember the MSX computer? This is an MSX emulator which runs on any Atari. It appears to be quite well designed as it features 3 channel music, printer and RS232 support and a whole lot more. Virtual disk drives can be created and a few example basic programs are given. Unfortunately there's no instructions, although you should know what you're doing if you own an MSX. OBJECT LINKING for GEM APPLICATIONS (OLGA) V1.2 by Thomas Much - Allows object linking between programs. Put simply, under a multi-tasking OS lets assume you have the same file open in two applications at the same time. When you edit it in one application, it is automatically updated in the other if object linking is active. The benefits are obvious. This version of OLGA may be run as an ACC or set up in MagiC/Multi-TOS to run only when an OLGA aware application is active. Includes full programmer's docs (in English) in ST-Guide (F.4782) format. Also on disk is a program called OLGAniser which adds OLGA support to existing GEM programs, a debugger and other support files. Apart from OLGA itself, most of the other files/docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation. Only runs under Mult-TOS or MagiC. QLEM V1.45 by Jochan Klockars - A Sinclair QL (sucessor to the ZX Spectrum) emulator. It includes parallel port and joystick support, can boot from a disk image and can read Atari floppy disks. However, it does not have RS232, micro drive, hard drive or sound support. Another program is included to read QL disks and convert the data on them into legal TOS filenames so they can be run from the newly created virtual disk file. Like the MSX emulator, this is an interesting curiosity rather than a full blown emulator. STAMP VALUES V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with Xcontrol on F.4862) which calculates the minimum stamps required to make up any specified postage value. You can specify which denominations of stamps you have available and the data files may be updated when postage rates increase or stamp denominations change. Highly recommended if you regularly need to post odd-priced items. DECREAFIX - A bug in TOS can result in a file being deleted without warning if you attempt to create another of the same name in the same location. This only happens when running a CLI or a replacement Desktop (on the GEM Desktop you are warned first!). Just put this program into the Auto folder to prevent the bug striking again. Clip Art in PCX format (ANIMALS, FLOWERS, ARCHITECTURE) as used by Pagestream 2.1 and the IBM PC. Files are BUTTRFLY, COCKREL, CRAB, EMBLEM1-EMBLEM22, FISH, FLATS, FLOWER-FLOWER19, FROG, HOUSE, PEACOCK, PLANT20-PLANT47, SHELL, SNAKE, TORTOISE. Adventure Game Toolkit v1.3 - A quality shareware product from The States. Write your own adventure games in a similar style to the Infocom series. Is capable of producing excellent text adventures. Comes complete with full documentation on disk. Users are encouraged to register with the author. Full details on disk. Now includes an easy to use GEM based shell for compiling the games and running the finished versions. HOWARD CLARKE COMPILATION - Another disk of excellent games by Howard Clarke. The standard is every bit as high as Howard's previous releases and all games have stemmed from original ideas as usual. MOZAIC - A completely new game concept played on a 13*13 grid. You must move your piece around the board (in any one of eight directions) collecting coloured squares. You can't step on the 'X' squares, retrace your steps or move in the same direction without first taking two moves in different directions. Sounds complicated but the concept is dead easy when you see the game, it's not so easy to complete the levels! NUMBERS - An educational game designed to help children learn the numbers 1 to 20. It is similar to "A Simple Memory Game" (on GAM.5260C). A grid of 9, 12, 16 or 20 squares displays numbers in a random sequence. The child must click onto the numbered squares in ascending order. A help bar at the bottom of the screen which displays the numbers consecutively can be switched on or off. There is another variant of the game in which you have to remember which squares hold which numbers. The numbers remain visible when selected in order until you get one wrong, then they disappear again. You must remember where they were and complete the sequence from 1 to 20 in the correct order. To be honest, with more than 9 numbers on the grid, I find it difficult to remember where they all are! PESKIES - Collect the key then move to the "X" but watch out for those Peskies! Each time you make it to the "X" you gain points, collide with a Peskie and you lose your only life! A simple yet frustratingly challenging game. SEARCH - A two player game played on a 10*10 grid. A symbol appears to the right of the playing area and must be located on the grid. If you find it you then look for the next symbol and continue until you fail to find the relevant symbol. When this happens, control passes to your opponent, a bit like Snooker actually! The player who has the highest score when all squares have been uncovered wins the game. This is an excellent disk and well worth adding to your collection. S-FALC.5922 DA S LAYOUT TC V6.0 - A usable demo of Digital Arts answer to Calamus SL. This demo version seems to offer much of the functionality of Calamus but with a few notable extras such as PPD output for printing to PostScript devices colour selection via drag drop page/image previews from the file selector and much more. It imports graphics in TIFF TGA GIF CVG GEM and EPS formats and supports output to 24-pin bubblejet laser Deskjet and Postscript devices. Several fax drivers are also included. Pages can be output as TIFF CVG EPS or in Didot s own vector format as an alternative to printing. The program is very fast in operation. This demo version seems to be restricted only in the fact that you are restricted to 30 minutes use and cannot save your work. When you start up it will be in German select from Sprache in the Optionen menu to choose the required language. English French and Italian are supported in addition to German. Needs 4 Mb. MARXTRKR - The Marx Marvelous Protracker! No graphics or user interface, just load and play the MOD file included or one of your own. Runs at 60 Hz. QUARTDEM - Quartet demo creator. Displays a Degas Elite picture (which you can substitute for one of your own) and plays Quartet music in the background. Includes 12 songs. If you have Quartet then substitute your own songs. SAMPLAY - Install in auto folder to play a sample and display a picture on boot-up. STEPLAY - STE sound sample editor by Adam Greenwood. 8- bit sample player and editor utilising any of STE's four playback frequencies in mono or stereo. SUBAQUA by Digi Tallis - The background story to this one is a mini-novel in its own right! To sum it up, it is set in the third millenium and Yikosaka are an interplanetary trading company. They have discovered LV- 217, a planet rich in mineral resources and "real" water. In an attempt to protect their find, Yikosaka install a Space Station above LV-217. However, news leaks out and others from across the galaxy, known as freeminers, decide to cash in on the planet's mineral resources. They sneak in undetected, grab what they can and leave. Your task is to destroy them. You start off with a basic spacecraft and earn credits for each freeminer destroyed. Credits are collected when you dock with the Space Station and may be used to repair or enhance your ship. You can build up quite a powerful craft with a bit of practice, this in turn is more efficient and will earn you more cash. Apart from the trading element, Subaqua is basically a fast action shoot 'em up. It resembles David Braben's "Virus" to a certain extent and is entirely mouse controlled. This is one of the best Shareware releases of 1997 and desrves your support. Needs 1 Mb. THE AFTERMATH DEMO by The Slaytanic Cult - An impressive picture in countless colours which are only possible on an STE. The scene depicts rows of crucifixes so it's a bit tasteless. The stereo sound is superb. Press Return to enter the demo and Space to exit. You get a humorous stereo sample on exit! Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. CUBASE HELP - A desk accessory which loads and reads a help file giving all Cubase keyboard commands. You can use a text editor to add useful notes to make a customised outline Help file. Obviously, this is of use to Cubase users only. KEYFAX - Demo MIDI files from the Keyfax Twiddly Bits vol. 1 & 3. I would describe their style as Techno-Jazz (if there is such a thing!). MIDI MOUSE MUSIC by Gareth Jones - Allows you to create music in a variety of different ways. This is a unique program, being neither a sequencer nor random music generator. Why not order this disk and see what it can do for you! MUSICALC v1.2 - A Shareware accessory from 999 Software for calculating delay times given beat and tempo. It also provides various facts and figures. SMF PLAY by Peter Bogner - A standard MIDI file player which runs as a program or accessory. Several parameters can be set on/off, eg program and control changes, controllers, etc. ST MUSE by Gareth Jones - A `Graphical/Algorithmic Compositional program' . This is a restricted version of ST MUSE 2, but still has many parameters which can be set to create varied polyphonic music. MIDISPEC - A text file entitled "The USENET MIDI Primer" - an `unofficial' MIDI specification for techies only. How this differs from the official version published by the International MIDI Association, I could not say. BIG BEN & TEMPOCAL - 2 desk accessories which run under MROS. INSOMNIA SHAREWARE DISK NO 1 . A collection of three great Shareware games by the same author on one disk. AIR2AIR - A two player game in which you aim to score 5 points before your opponent does. Take off, try to avoid crashing or stalling and fire at your opponent or shoot down a barrage balloon. PLAX ATAX - Move the toothpaste tube around with the joystick, firing gel at the rotting teeth. You must complete each level within a time limit and make sure you don't loose all you teeth! BYTE MAN - A Pacman clone which can be played by one or two players. Normal rules for Pacman apply but you get monsters, bonuses, extra lives and twenty levels. An excellent disk packed full of fun. CD EXAMINER V0.2 by Peter Hilbring - Allows you to perform a number of low level functions start/stop motor read sectors read disk capacity get manufacturer s info park heads play audio tracks eject a disc and set output volume on a SCSI CD ROM drive. DIRECT DRIVE V1.0 - Read the directory of a floppy or a hard drive partition and print or save the listing. The directory can also be printed in a format suitable for a 3.5 disk label. You can specify the depth of folders to be displayed and the type of sorting used. There are also a number of helpful utility functions included. PROLOCK v1.09 by Carl Hafner - Designed to lock access to your system in the event that you leave your computer unattended. Simply activate Prolock and leave your computer. You will have to enter the correct password upon your return in order to regain access. If anyone tries to access your computer by rebooting the ACC version will prompt for the password during the boot up process. NEORAM V1.03 by Carl Hafner - An Auto folder program which automatically re- installs your chosen volume label for NeoDesk s ramdisk each time you boot up. This program is only of use if you own a copy of NeoDesk RSCTRANS v1.0 by Michael Schwingen - Extracts the text entries from RSC files into an ASCII file for the purposes of translation. The translated text may then be replaced into the original RSC. Unfortunately the program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. UNCLE RAM IV by Carl Hafner - Displays the size of the largest block of free memory TOS version TOS creation date time and date. It can also be used to perform a warm or cold boot. Can be run as a PRG or ACC. When run as an ACC it can be useful for finding out how much free memory is available from within any GEM program. TCACHE V6.4 - Caches hard drive reads and writes. Almost everything is user configurable with different setting being possible for different drives. Drives can also be password protected to prevent unauthorised access. ARJ_BETA 9.97A by The TOS Crew - This is possibly the first ST implementation of the ARJ compressing system and is currently being updated and modified with a user interface promised soon. Much work has and is being done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive documentation is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of UNARJ. Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and running either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and LHARC etc. DA CAPO by Dr Francisco Mendez - A comprehensive name and address database program. As well as being a nice easy to use database program Da Capo supports GDOS fonts non-modal 3D dialogs the GEM Clipboard colour icons and the AV protocol. It has very flexible import and export facilities and a powerful search engine. There s even an Auto folder program to remind you about forthcoming birthdays and other important events. Printout is supported to most popular 9-pin 24-pin Deskjet and Laser printers. Perhaps the best database program ever written Program now in English but docs in German. This Shareware version limits the number of records you can enter apart from that it s fully functional. DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard included on disk format database containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named drugs together with a range of vitamins minerals and other preparations often used as drugs. SHRINKING WALL SOLITAIRE by Howard Clarke - An original game if ever I saw one. It is a sort of cross between Tetris, Solitaire and Shanghai! The playing area is made up of a number (you choose the number) of pairs of bricks. These can only be removed if two are adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically. As you remove bricks, the surrounding ones jump inwards towards the centre. A challenging game with 10 levels and several different brick styles. Needs 1 Mb. GEMINI V1.99 by Stefan Eissing - A brilliant Shareware Desktop replacement which is similar in many ways to Neodesk. It is very similar to the built-in Desktop on the Falcon but with several extra features such as its own built-in CLI. Other features include keyboard shortcuts automatic installation of all devices attached to the system the option of using an IMG as a Desktop picture disk formatting to extended capacities Kobold 2 support recoverable trashcan moveable dialogs GEM Clipboard support and full compatibility with Speedo-GDOS Multi-TOS and MagiC including support for the AV protocol which allows messages to be sent between different GEM programs . This latest version runs in any Falcon resolution and uses colour icons. There s just one problem both the program and docs are in German although we have done a rough translation. ST+ #13, JANUARY 1997 - The fact that issue 12 was late means that this is the second January issue! In fact it's the first birthday issue of this popular diskzine. There's news of a low cost digitiser from Alien Technologies, Phenix - a Falcon clone from France, the SILIconvention and more. The Assembler and Sci-Fi sections are pretty dead this month but there is a new Comms section where Dave takes you through his first experiences on a BBS through to setting himself up as a 'point' on the system. Reviews are of Final Doom, Tomb Raider, Star Fighter (its history across various platforms), Alien vs Predator, Cybermorph, Tempest 2000, Doom (all Jaguar), Nitro (running on a Falcon), Citizen ABC printer, There's articles on how to get a ZIP drive working with the ICD Link, a real-time article from a WAG meeting and how to build your own high density drive upgrade kit and almost get it working! PONG 2000 by Holland Games Design - An early demo of the now commercial game Ping 2000. It is essentially the old bat and ball game brought right up to date. You control a double-bat joined together by a wibbly wobbly piece and have to stop the bouncing asteroid getting past you and knock it past your opponent. Although Pong could never have been described as mind bending the sequel is a fast action game with impressive graphic backdrops a stereo soundtrack and much improved sound effects. What s more it s not as easy to play as you d think The demo features a single level with no scoring but you do get your three lives. One and two player options are available but the classic game is disabled. Needs 4 Meg. AUDIO CALCULATOR v1.04 by Hinton Instruments - An essential tool for Midi musicians. The program actually features five built-in calculators. You simply supply the basic inputs and the rest of the values you require are computed for you. The Analog Level Calculator and Sound Calculator are fully operational but the Music Timing Calculator Tape Timing Calculator and Digital Audio Calculator are included merely to illustrate how they work. Their functions are disabled in this demo. The full version has all five calculators fully operational can be run as an ACC and is Multi-TOS compatible. COLOUR PCD by NBK Computer GmbH - Photo CD viewer software. This demo allows you to run a slideshow of PCD pictures and perform various image processing functions on them. It can display PCD images in any resolution at any of the supported sizes. The only thing you can t do with the demo is save the processed images to disk. Also included is a PhotoCD compatible CD-ROM driver for use with Multi-TOS. DEMO COMPETITION MODULES 2 by The DBA - The second in the series complete with the DBA CD MOD Player v2. MODs are AURA CLASSIC EASTEREG GL_COMPO GOODGUYS GREEN JAMJAM KARAOKEG LAMETING MR_COKE SCAVY. OASIS 2.10 by Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi - The ultimate Internet access package. This is the long awaited followup to Oasis on FALC.5292 and it now completely replaces AtariNOS with ICE its own GEM based on-line software making it the complete solution for both on-line and off-line use. Like its predecessor Oasis 2 handles mail newsgroups ftp and telnet sessions and comes complete with extensive docs in ST-Guide not included format. Both SLIP and PPP protocols are handled correctly and posting to newsgroups is now possible with all ISPs. Mail-wise you have the choice of using either SMTP or POP 3 standards. Automated logons for both anonymous and password protected ftp access are supported binary files can be automatically uuencoded yellow pages and outmail have been improved and you can even perform searches in these databases. Finally you can download only newsgroup headers then mark the articles you want to download in full. Shareware at its best some functions are not fully operational but there s more than enough to get started with. Includes simple to understand instructions on how to get HS Modem included set up for your system. The only thing you can t do is access the WWW yet . Includes conversion utilities for your Oasis 1.35 mail outmail yellow pages and newsgroup files. Needs a 4 Mb and a hard drive. CAB MINT v1.84 - A modified version of the CAB.OVL file which allows you to use the WWW Access Pack FALC.5420 when running MiNT/Multi-TOS. STiK TIME by Guy Harrison . Runs as an ACC or PRG under multi-tasking systems and appends details of connections via STiK to NOS.LOG so that CoSTa on FALC.5569 can include them in your call logging. SBCABPRG by Guy Harrison - Install it as an external viewer for CAB FALC.5420 . It will then let you intercept files and save them to your chosen destination rather than have them disappear namelessly into the cache MUNPACK V1.3 by Hans Streibel - Allows you to encode/decode MIME encoded messages as used by many PC/Mac applications. Only runs under MiNT/Multi- TOS. COMA.SYS - Installs a SpeedoGDOS fax driver. This allows you to output a page from any SpeedoGDOS compatible application as a COMA/QFAX fax which can then be output via a fax modem using COMA on FALC.5071. CSTATIST by Erik Hall - Counts the number of lines in any given C source file. It includes statistics for each file called by the main file and lists the count for each #include file. Multi-tasking friendly, also runs under TOS. GEMLIB V3.0XX by Tommy Andersen - A bug fixed version of the GEMLIB library for use with the GCC compiler. This is an unofficial version but has been patched to work with EGEM 220. Not much by way of docs, but it should be straightforward enough to GNU C programmers. MPEG_SYS by Guido Vollbeding - Pure C source for analysing and converting MPEG system layer streams. It optionally gives information on the contents of the system layer streams or extracts them as pure MPEG video streams which can be handled by any MPEG video players. Please note this is source code only, no executables. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are FIREBRUS FKRISMAS FLAMP FLOWERS GIRAFRIN HAPYCROW HARE HOLIDAY MOIROREY MOWGLRUN MUSIKCEN NOMEHORS OSCAR OUTLHORS PARACHUT PIEDPIPE PUDSBALL RABASKET RADIO RAPIER RASBERRI RESISTOR RHINO ROKHORSE ROOMSERV RUBSTAMP SDPSEC SEHORSES SERCVSMA SETTE SIAMESE SLIBFACE SMUDGE SNAKEBUK SNAKEHAN SPARROW SPEAKER SPIKED STORKS SUBMARIN SUPERMAN THSNOWMA TRRES2 TURTLRES VDCLINIC VIDEOSHO VULTURES VWRACER WASP WHEADS WHEEL WINDMAN WOINLOFT 3DPORCHE ALIGATO2 ALIGATOR BABIES BADG BADGER BEETLES BIGBEN BIRDFLY BRAVO CARAMON CLEANER COFFE CURRY CUTTYSAR DAIMLER DEALER DRAGONS DRILL EAGLESHA FLINT FRUITHOR GEESE GOALY GOLDMOON GRAPESBU GREENHOS GRIMREAP HAWKSCAN HEROES HORSEOUT INTERNAT KILOMIKE LACE LADYWEED LAZERPRI MERMAID MICKEY MONTEGO NCHOUSE POPPYDOG PYRAMIDS RAISTLIN RIVERWIN ROMDRIVE SHRUBS SPAGHETI STEPS STURM TANIS TASSLE TAWNY TIEDUP UPLIONS VIDEOSYM WATERPLA WEDTOAST WETHERMA WOMB YANKEE ZXRAMPAC HOWLWOLFALC. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 30 - Four more 256 colour animations from AutoDesk Animator. Player program supplied. FULLTREK - An inter-galactic chase in which the Starship Enterprise is being pursued by a hostile craft. Great animation as both ships appear in the distance and smoothly scale up to full size as the come closer. Needs 4 Meg but will play from disk if you have less. PEGASUS - A cartoon style animation of the legendary winged horse. Very cleverly animated. STRETCH - A sharp kneedle-like object streches an elasticated circle to the point where it busts through it. VENUS - A model of a woman s body spins through 360 degrees. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are ALF, SATAN, SPACESON, WIND. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. GLUESTIK V0.03B2 by Scott Bingham - A modified version of STiK FALC.5420 which is designed for use with MiNTNet FALC.5828 . It consists of a device driver and a number of support utilities. Docs are sparse and you are expected to have a working knowledge of both MiNTNet and the conventional STiK package. Might also work with MiNT but I m not sure. Includes full C sources. FIRST HTML V1.00 by Yannick Lecaillez -Converts ASCII text to HTML and HTML to ASCII. Nicely presented using Christophe Boyanique s Easy GEM interface. It can handle batch conversions using the and wildcards as well as converting single files. Docs are in French but this is no problem as the program is obvious in use. Just remember to specify the extension as well as the pathname for converted files otherwise the program exits DRACONIS INTERNET CONNECTION PACKAGE V04/98 by J Heitmann - A complete connectivity suite offering a real challenge to the sacred land ruled by CAB and WenSuite. It consists of the The Light of ADAMAS Web Browser Marathon Mail and the basic configuration connection and dialer utilities. It does not currently include a news reader. DICP does not require StiK or STiNG it uses its own PPP networking layer. At a glance the mail client supports multiple mailboxes accounts with multiple ISPs multiple mail folders useful for filing messages you wish to retain the sending and receiving of binary attachments and a few other extras. The browser supports extensive cache management security features off-line and on-line browsing and a hotlist for keeping track of your favourite URLs. There s even a hint of Java support in a future version. Both the mailer and the browser draw heavily from ideas seen on older versions of Microsoft s Internet Explorer and Internet Mail News packages on other platforms. DICP is Freeware in its current state this is a beta release but the final version could well go commercial if proposed features live up to their promise. The package is supplied with English and German RSC files but comes with no documentation. Theoretically you just need to install it and input your personal details to get up and running. Hard drive recommended but not essential. Amiga Emulator . It claims to work but needs at least one Meg of memory and a blitter chip fitted. Also for obvious reasons it will not run on a mono monitor. I've tried out this disk and can't get it running, can you? Boot_B - place in an auto folder to boot from Drive B. Cssformt - format your disks up to 86 tracks with 11 sectors per track and even gives an option of how many sectors per FAT table. Desk Manager v2.1 - a customised boot program similar to Superboot 2 on UTL.66. Allows you to load Spectrum 512 or Degas PI3 picture on boot up, select one of numerous customised Desktop.inf files, select which .ACC files to load, which drive to boot from etc. Diskcheck - checks ST or IBM disks for errors. Fatspeed - speeds up reading and writing of long documents. Split - allows you to split one large file into several smaller ones. Translat - translates 1st Word, ASCII, Wordstar, MS Word and MS Write formats to each other. PRG and ACC versions both included. Virus Killer - an icon driven virus killer by George Woodside - performs a similar purpose to Strike-A-Light's virus killer on UTL.82. ST-68K-Aid - an accessory which is a reference manual for 68000 machine code programmers. It is by Neil Smith and is sold as commissionware. This means that if you register with Neil, you get 2 from him for every person that you give a copy to who also registers. It is an invaluable aid to the programmer with reference to Gemdos calls, Bios calls, Xbios calls, A-line routines, A-line variables, System variables and the 68k instruction set. ST Sheet v0.01 - a spreadsheet also by Neil Smith. This comes in both PRG and ACC formats and a full manual on disk. ST Sheet uses mouse and keyboard but only works in medium resolution. STOSSER Issue 24, August 1995 - STOSSER has reached its 2nd Birthday edition with a new lease of life and a new Editor, Deano from Silly Software. It will now be released on a "when it's ready basis" to keep up the standard of the zine. What's in store this issue? Well, there's news of a new sprite EXTension called ICBIS, also a new Falcon EXTension which allows STOS to take advantage of the Falcon's facilities. There's a guide to modems, a BBS guide, and the latest STOS FAQ fresh from the Internet. A useful article explains how to convert files from the ST to the PC or Amiga, and there's the usual hot STOS news, latest STOS tips, A - Z of STOS (continuing with ..L), adverts, contacts, giveaways, returned questionaires, and the famous Telegraph Pole. TUTORIALS include EXTRA by Deano and how to write a demo by Martin Cubitt. Reviewed this issue is the acclaimed STOS game H.E.R.O. plus much much more...... Clip Art in IMG format. Files are FLOWER15 to FLOWER32. THE HEMOROIDS MENU PACK 1 - A compilation of STE demos put together by The Hemeroids. THE BRACE DEMO by Diamond Design - This is Brace's first appearance on an STE as the original demo was ST(FM) only. It has all the usual graphic effects including 3D wireframe and solid graphics which move around the screen. There's a trip in a tunnel made from moving dots (sub- titled "A Trip To London with Eurotunnel!"). The dots make another appearance when they smoothly morph from one shape to another (it looks better than it sounds!). In addition there's a few 'elastic' objects including an 'alcoholic' cube! The sound effects are also very good. All in all, a great demo. ECSTASY by ICE - A brilliant fullscreen demo with lots of stereo sound and plenty of 3D objects flying around. Needs 1 Meg. SYNERGY MUSIC DISK - A selection of six original tracks created using a program called Chip-Mon. Very good quality for chip based music. X-PROTRACKER by Eagle of Sentry - An adaptation of Protracker with several enhancements. This is not a demo, but a fully fledged tracker program. Unfortunately, there was no space on the disk to include any MOD files! STE ONLY. FALCON UPDATE ISSUE 6 - This is the disk mag of the Falcon Owners Group FOG . It is released as Shareware to the rest of us. It features the latest Falcon news and product previews including MagiC Expos Kobold BSS Debug Thought Dextrous DeskTopper and FreeKeys and more. Reviews include Dynabusters OMEn Starball Digital Tracker ST Handbook several disk magazines and a new glossy for Jaguar and Lynx owners. There s interviews with Michel Forget and Sinister Developments an article on how to use the Falcon s video modes from Hisoft Basic and an excellent raytraced animation. There s compatibility listings for ST games and applications which run on the Falcon and an in-depth look at FOGNET the club s own BBS. The mag is massive running to over 1.8 Meg of data including about 500k of articles so we have not even scratched the surface yet Well worth getting hold of. Needs a hard drive. BUGS by David Munsie - Arcade Dave s back with another blast from the past. This is a much improved fast action Shareware Centipede clone. The usual shoot everything the moves rule applies and you must destroy the centipede to progress to the next level. This variant has numerous bees and other insects making a guest appearance at times just to spice things up. There are three skill levels and special bonuses on the harder levels. Great fun VALENCY by Jens Schultz - An excellent Shareware puzzle game in which you must create molecular structure of varying complexities depending upon which of the 300 levels you are on. Atoms must be placed in the correct sequence and there are rules as to exactly which atoms go where. The structure can be rotated as required to achieve your task. The game is GEM based and very easy to pick up once you ve played it a few times. Unfortunately both docs and program are in German but we ve done RUF translation of the docs and the on-screen text is in English. Highly recommended. ZODIAX by Digital Nightmares - A horizontally scrolling shoot em up developed specifically for the Falcon. Zodiax is a sort of defender brought right up to date. There are five different levels to fight your way through each with its own multiple attack waves. As you progress through the levels there s powerups tokens shields extra lives and much more to be collected. The sprites in Zodiax are massive and the scrolling is smooth. There s realistic looking explosions atmospheric sound effects and sampled speech throughout. Another example of what a good Shareware game really should be like on the Falcon Needs 4 Meg. ST REPORT - Another great disk of literature from America. This disk contains issues 837 to 841, covering the period from September 11th to October 16th 1992. DUMPAOUT v1.0 by Ian Lepore - Dumps out information about a GNU C A.OUT object module. Includes C source.

Its purpose is to enable and disable BitStream TrueType and Postscript fonts quickly and easily when running SpeedoGDOS or NVDI 3 or later . It does this using the same method as that employed by NVDI 4. The process is speeded up by the fact that your font setup is saved in INF files which are read the next time you run the program. This is especially useful in the case of fonts stored on CD-ROM where the initial scan can take up to 15 minutes There s also the ability to search for fonts nested in folders on a CD-ROM. All changes made by FONT ORGANISER are effective immediately and you don t need to reboot.

Will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg of memory. OVERLORD by T C Bassett - A fantasy adventure for two or more players, created using Talespin. This is a board game in which you must avoid the insectoid, build a pyramid and defeat the Overlord. The first player to achieve this goal becomes Overlord and wins the game. Excellent graphics, clear digitised sound effects and an excellent original concept. Highly recommended. ZYKLOP - This is a game for joystick maniacs with good reactions. You steer Truzzi, whose only aim is to collect valuable diamonds, but Truzzi has one bad habit. He is very keen on diamonds and so it's impossible to stop him while he's collecting them. Avoid the wall & skulls or it will cost you a life. CHIROPODIST IN HELL by Gareth Lucas - You find yourself stranded on a mountain path with, nearby, a wrecked hang-glider. Unlikely plot? If you are to rescue the chiropodist from hell, this is where you start. A STAC adventure with 26 illustrations and a wide vocabulary. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. DOT THE STOS COLLECTION by DDT - A collection of 3 demos written in STOS Basic. The Political Demo is definately the best of the bunch. Needs 1 Meg. Space Ace - The demo of the game from Readysoft. Features TRUE animated cartoon graphics and sampled speech. HIBERNATION CAROLS DEMO II by Sewer Software - This is a collection of 6 Christmas Carols featuring superb graphics (Santa on his snow mobile) and music. Put together by Sewer Hedgehog and Golden Otter exclusively for Floppyshop. After each Carol, there's a Mad Max tune and accompanying digitised picture which would not look out of place on a Christmas card. A superb followup which even beats Hibernation Carols 1! You simply must have this one to show off your ST and get everyone into the Christmas spirit(s)! You must unplug your hard drive to run this demo. THE FAT DEMO by NATO - A music demo which includes over 50 tunes from various ST games and demos. As well as the menu screen where you select the tunes, there's a mugshot of the guy who wrote the demo and a hidden demo. Personally, I prefer the hidden demo to main menu! The scroller claims to contain 100k of text and the author offers to mention anyone who can prove that he has read it all, in his next demo. Needs 1 Meg. BOOTLOADER HD/D by Software Twrdy - A demo of a commercial program from Austria. It lets you customise your bootup options and is most use to hard drive owners. Bootloader allows you to select from up to 64 autoboot programs and 64 accessories. Countless other options are built in. As this is a demo, you can explore the options of the program but everything is disabled before returning to the Desktop. The full version includes an English manual. SUPERCARD 3.13 by Chris Beale - The followup to Supercard 2 on UTL.412. Supercard is a computerised card index type program. It gives you the standard features of a normal database program but without the restrictions on the type or amount of data or length of fields. In fact you don't need to create fields at all since these are created internally by the program if and when required. This latest version is much faster, allows up to 60 macros to be defined, up to 32K of data can be imported, it has a switchable sort feature and improved security protection, lines can be justified, verify Save is switchable, protected files can be deprotected once in memory and there's lots more. Perhaps the fact that there's a 32K manual on disk will give you some idea of how comprehensive a program this is. There's a restriction on the number of records which can be entered and an annoying 'sulk mode' in this version. Register for a modest Shareware fee to get rid of both! PROFILE V1.5 by Mark Baines - This program is probably the most extensive system analysis program available. It provides information on hardware, TOS, memory, screen resolution, disk drives, operating system header block and basepage, cartridge and control panel settings, important system configuration addresses, DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF settings, vertical blank interrupts, the cookie jar, environment variable strings, the complete system variables contents and exception vectors. All data can be printed or saved to disk. RUBRIKS V1.15 - A terminal protector. If you don't hit a key or move the move within a specified period of time, the screen gets jumbled up into a sliding puzzle and shuffles around. This prevents monitor 'burn in' which occurs if the image displayed on screen remains static for too long. Rubriks can be customised to suit the user and has a number of extras over other screen savers. RIPPED QUARTET MUSIC VOL 1 by MUG UK - A collection of Quartet music files from ST games. A short demo kicks things off, then you exit to the Desktop to access the files. Each tune is supplied in QPLAY format. QPlay 3 is also on disk so that you can play them or convert them back to standard Quartet format. Files are BEAST, CADAVER, SPEDBAL2, TIMEMATCH, TUSKER. ARBOOT V3.3 by Binaris - A customised bootsector which sets your hertz rate on bootup and displays total memory, free memory, the value of the reset vector and your TOS version.

Useful when run after programs which mess up the palette. POVSHELL V2.2 by Racame Production - An easy to use GEM based shell (which is even Multi-TOS compatible) for simplifying the use of POV Raytrace on ART.3716 & ART.3717. It allows you to enter all those complex parameters with simple mouse clicks. PRINT FILE - An ACC which lets you print out a file from within another application. It is particularly useful for Postscript printers which take a while to initialise, since it doesn't time out. RDE V5 - The latest version of MWC ramdisk which is now fully Multi-TOS compatible. This ramdisk is unique in that it is self initialising (like partition C of a hard drive) and you can save the entire ramdisk into a single file. When you next run it, it is restored complete with its contents just as you left it. REMEMBER 2 - Displays the date and time in the top right hand corner of the screen. It also has an alarm facility. Trying to turn the alarm off can be fun! The date/time need to be set before this program will run. SCROLLING THUNDER - A text file displayer which scrolls incredibly smoothly using the STE/TT or Falcon's built-in hardware scrolling. The speed of scrolling is controlled by the mouse and two different fonts are selectable. It doesn't run on an ordinary ST. SEEKUP - Allows you to alter the stepping rate of floppy drives on machines with TOS 2.06 ONLY. SLINGSHOT V1.02 - A versatile program launcher. It displays up to 12 files or folders in the current directory and lets you start any program by simply selecting it from the menu. Slingshot directory information can be saved in any drive or directory, enabling you to access almost anything with the minimum of keypresses. TCACHE V6.4 - Caches hard drive reads and writes. Almost everything is user configurable with different setting being possible for different drives. Drives can also be password protected to prevent unauthorised access. THERMOBOOT - Allows you to perform a warm or cold boot at the click of the mouse. THE ULTIMATE WRITE PROTECTOR - Allows you to write protect all drives, including hard drives and ramdisks.

ANALYSE by Reginald Stadlbauer - Allows the molecular mass and percentage of various components in an elementary compound (e.g. nitro toluene) to be calculated. While named compounds may also be handled, this function is not operative in the Shareware version. An input of mass range (from spectral analysis) also calculates the formula of the compound. Program and docs in both English and German. This program is designed specifically with organic and inorganic chemists in mind. JEOPARDY by Reginald Stadlbauer - A quiz-type game not too dissimilar to Trivia Pursuit. Five categories are chosen randomly and each category has five questions, worth anything from 100 to 500 points. You must answer all question by multiple to choice to complete the round. Score enough points and you progress to the next level where the answers are worth more points. Finally, you risk all in the third round!

Unlike the real life scenario, all pieces are the right way up. You can place pieces directly onto the playing area or build up sections of the puzzle independently of each other then move them into place on the main puzzle. Unfortunately the program and docs are in German and Polish but it can be picked up in five minutes as everyone knows how to make up a jigsaw puzzle! This is the best ever attempt at such a program. Several example files are supplied on disk and you can save semi-completed puzzles at any time and resume them at a later date. On an STE, TT or Falcon, you even get stereo sound effects! Runs fine on an FM too. If you don't have NVDI installed, you need to run the supplied ENHANCER program, otherwise PUZZLE97 won't work. MAFIA BROTHERS V0.9.7 by Istari - A game for up to six players.

Images can be read directly into the software via the cartridge port although the author fails to tell us how . All functions of the software are specifically geared towards enhancing astronomical data although you can import your own TIFFs and mess around with these instead. The main limitation is that only an area of 218x145 can be processed although it is planned for this to be increased in the next version. Also only uncompressed greyscale TIFFs are supported and the program comes with no docs. ESCPEMU - A number of packages give you a print to disk option.

This makes it suitable for grabbing screens from non-GEM based programs. Saves in an odd format but includes utilities to convert images to Degas RAW or TPI formats. Docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation. WAVEFORMS (also known as Digi Synth 8) by The Wild Boys - Starts yp with a great intro featuring solid 3D objects rotating in a 3D starfield. You can then select 10 excellent MOD files from the main menu. As usual, the sound quality is brilliant. When the music is playing, the sound bars are displayed on a background of 3D waveforms, hence the name of the demo. STARBALL by Volume 11 Software Development - This is a pinball game like no other pinball game before it! It runs on any Atari but has extra features on machines with more memory and STE hardware.

Floppy drives, hard drives and RAMdisks can all be checked using Virendetektor. It even checks CPX's for link viruses although no known virus attacks these, yet! If all that's not enough, Virendetektor goes further by storing the CRC values of files for cross referencing so as to quickly detect link virus infection. The manual for Virendetektor is massive and was originally in German but our RUF translation makes interesting reading. It's a masterpiece in its own right explaining clearly and concisely all you will ever need to know about computer viruses and much more besides. Also included are various other programs for write-protecting hard drives and RAMdisks and restoring hard drive partition bootsectors. VD-Quick (also on disk) by the same author offers fast batch checking of files from a CLI and is utilised by several other German programs as an external virus checker.

The package is German in origin but the RSC has been translated into English. ConnectiCAD comes with a small symbol library and allows you to flip, rotate or invert them to suit. Text can be printed at any size or any angle. An invaluable feature is the ability to print reversed text, allowing you to see either side of the board without having to think in mirror images. Print out can be normal, reversed or composite (which allows you to examine the component side of the board with the track side also visible). Several sizes of pads are supplied as well as the ability to change these sizes easily. Regrettably there's no docs supplied, although we have supplied a detailed review of the package on the disk. This demo version does not allow you to save your work in ConnectiCAD's own vector format, you can save in IMG format. The only disadvantages (apart from the fact that IMGs at 300 dpi can be huge!) is that they cannot be easily edited and output resolution cannot be changed. Printout is supported to 9-pin, 24-pin and Laserjet/Deskjet printers. THE DING-O DENTRO by Dune - A little Dentro which also doubles up as Dunes newsletter to the STE owners. The scroller is rather clever in that as well as appearing over the main part of the screen, there is a flexi- scroller in the corner, where the text goes around in a circle like a small wheel. The effects include several big colour circles which mix together to make other colours. ROTM - This is a standalone version of Sanity's contribution to "A GRUMBLER IN THE RUTTING SEASON". It consists of a window on the screen which looks onto a pattern of Atari logos (which changes to various other shapes). The pattern is then zoomed in and out and rotated around. There is also a scroller, and some music whilst the computer zooms in and out of these altering patterns. ZEAL'S ALIVE is a another small demo which has lots of effects. Alive starts with a starfield effect which displays the title and the writers' names. The starfield then alters into a rotating ball which then changes into solid 3D objects.

DEADLAND by Justin Ward - A spaceship has crash landed on a planet known as Deadland and your mission is to evacuate as many crew members as possible within a specified time limit. To do this you must build a new spaceship not as easy as it sounds This overhead view Shareware game presents a real challenge with crew members and vehicles to control a spaceship to build and various hazards to avoid including enemy soldiers. Gameplay is described as similar to Cannon Fodder though not exactly Syntax Terror by Delta Force . Over twenty sub demos here. All are of an amazingly high quality.

Icone - Icon Maker - design your own icons and then use them in the GEM desktop. This is the only fully functioning icon designer in PD which allows you to use your icons after you have created them. There's only one snag, it only runs on TOS v1.2. Maxi Ramdisk - a later version of this reset proof compressing ramdisk from UTL.77. The only difference appears to be that this version will create a ramdisk of any size up to 4 Meg (if you have enough memory).

The problem the ST/STe/TT has, occurs when a high speed modem is used in conjunction with ZMODEM or any near continuous flow transfer program is used to send data. The failure to support the RTS/CTS protocol properly results in the modem buffer overflowing and this leads to errors in data transmission.

The ability to convert mono IMGs into true greyscale images is most helpful for those of you who do not have greyscale scanners. Imagelab is restricted to loading its own B_W format, AIM format or uncompressed IFFs but external conversion utilities allow GIF, TIFF, Degas and IMG format to be converted to B_W and vice versa. Although the program runs in mono, all work is actually performed in 256 greyscale mode. Use GEM- View 3 (ART.3485) to convert B_W to more useful formats. Fully GEMmed and Multi-TOS compatible. Can be used with the Sebra mono emulator. Program and short introduction in English but main docs in German, although we have done a rough translation. Needs at least 1 Meg. S-FALC.4717 S-FALC.4718 S-FALC.4719 FRANKREICH CLIPART - A Collection of 42 massive mono IMG scans taken from photographs of France. The scans are diverse featuring national landmarks as well as general pictures portraying the French men and women in typical work and leisure situations. Probably compiled from photographs taken by a German tourist. These scans a very large and are therefore really intended to be loaded into a DTP package and printed at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Most of them require more than 1 Meg. INVESTIGATION - A two disk graphical adventure by David Weeks. You are Denim Top Dave, a student, and you have overheard a conversation which could lead to one of the biggest computer crimes of the decade. It is up to you to thwart the plans of the villians. The game is controlled mainly by the cursor keys and by typing in commands. Your search concentrates on three main areas and you must ensure you have enough bus fares to travel between them, so buying and selling becomes part of your strategy. A good challenging game. Does not run on machines with more than 1 Meg of memory. Clip Art in IMG format .

MARS MAZE - You must travelling across a series of platforms within a certain time limit to reach a fuel pod and so exit onto the next level. However, each level is populated by some nasties. On early levels they are ghosts and severed hands, who must be disposed of before you can progress further. As you get deeper into the game, the baddies are the least of your worries, just climbing the platforms to the exit within the allowed time is enough of a challenge! MUSICAL WONDERS DEMO 1991 by Offbeat - This is a really impressive collection of almost eighty soundchip and digitised tunes, mostly from ST games.

S-FALC.4495 THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This two disk set contains the complete texts of The Old Testament and The New Testament King James V edition as well as the unregistered version of the top selling card filing system Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike other bible collections this one has had every chapter and verse checked for accuracy and completeness. The database is huge around 4.5 Megabytes and must be decompressed onto 4 HD floppies or a hard drive. Users with plenty of memory can merge the data into two or three files to enable fast cross referencing throughout the bible. However these merged files can only be saved with the registed version of Supercard 3 10 from the author . Another program is provided to allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or ASCII formats although we re sure you d rather use Supercard 3 This is an excellent compilation for clergymen historians and scholars and demonstrates Supercard to its full potential. What s more loading the largest data file from hard drive takes only a few seconds as do searches across the entire text T-CON V1.1 by Holger Weets - Sends the output of a TOS or TTP application to a GEM window under Multi-TOS. Performs a similar function to TOSWIN. Docs in German but you don t really need them. CD BASE by Dolphin Software - Yet another customised database for keeping track of your audio CD collection. This is undoubtedly one of the more polished ones both in terms of appearance and in ease of use. There s no drop down menus just a few boxes to click onto to enter new data or search an existing file. Includes fast powerful wildcard searches and outputs to Epson Canon and HP printers. Data stored includes CD title artist song title track number track length year of recording your personal rating etc. This Shareware version limits you to 10 CD s 150 tracks and 35 artists. The registered version supports up to 210 CDs per floppy disk or 910 if using a hard drive. The artists and tracks supported run into thousands COPS V1.07E by Thomas Much and the Behne Bros - A complete replacement for Xcontrol under MagiC v4 or later and MagiCMac v1.2.5 or later . It reads the locations of the CPX modules from CONTROL.INF and places their icons within a moveable GEM window. It supports unlimited CPXs subject to memory and long filenames if your system supports this . Now in English. CANDYMAN CHEAT by The Resevoir Gods - Gives you complete protection from the tooth fairy in the game of the same name. STEWART V1.05E by John McLoud - A Copland new name for the latest OS upgrade on the Mac emulator for MagiC Not quite but Stewart can you spot the obvious connection gives much of the look and feel of Copland to MagiC v3 or later. Here s a quick rundown of some of its features - rounded screen corners click anywhere on the Desktop to top the Desktop and its windows white background in drop down menus replaced by grey dotted divider lines in drop down menus replaced by solid ones GEM grow shrink boxes replaced by spin boxes clock digital or analog in menubar 3D menu text switch off or replace the MagiC logo. This Shareware release disables itself after half an hour of use but is otherwise fully functional. Stewart requires a minimum resolution of 640x480 in 16 colours so it s TT or Falcon only UNLESS you have a graphics card on your ST. Also it only runs under MagiC 3 or MagicMac or later. NOTHING V1.0 by John McLoud - A redraw manager for use with ALICE on UTL.5115 . It intercepts iconify messages from ALICE and forces the screen to update as appropriate. In order to work correctly it also requires STIC the STEWART iconify manager also on disk and only runs under MagiC 3 or later. Docs currently in German. STIC V1.00 by John McLoud - An attempt at a universal iconify manager although it currently works only with STEWART and NOTHING . Like ALICE it allows windows or indeed entire applications to be iconified even when the application itself does not ordinarily support iconification. STIC scores in that it allows the iconified windows to be larger than usual and supports the use of long filenames in iconified windows. STIC only runs under MagiC 3 or later. Now in English. THE ENHANCER V1.0 by The Behne Brothers - Extends the built-in VDI functions of TOS to support off-screen bitmaps and allow the use of the vq_scrninfo v_opnbm and v_clsbm functions. It also patches the Falcon s True Colour mode to make v_get_pixel compatible with it. This patch is essential for the smooth running of many new programs if you do not have NVDI 2.5 or later installed. If you do you don t need Enhancer as it s built into NVDI. Docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation. THE ULTIMATE CONVERTER TUC V1.02 by Kevin Millican - Allows you to convert word processor files from any format to any format. At least that s the theory It works by converting the often non-printable ASCII character used to represent eg bold or italic on one word processor to those used on another word processor. Example script files allow you to convert executable programs to and from ASCII useful for performing translations and from First Word to RTF Protext v4.3 to Wordstar Protext v4.3 to RTF ASCII to RTF Write On to RTF Word Perfect v5.0 to RTF Word Perfect v5.1 to RTF and Wordstar to RTFALC. Obviously you could alter the scripts to allow any of these to convert to any other or even introduce new conversions if you know the codes used by the appropriate word processor s . The docs are easily followed and explain the command language used in the scripts. TUCSHELL by Geoff Wilson - A nice easy to use GEM based front end for use with THE ULTIMATE CONVERTER the original TUC was TTP based . It allows you to specify the full pathnames of the input/output/TUC files with a few simple clicks of the mouse. PARALLEL COPY V3.21 by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to connect an Atari to a PC via the parallel port. This is an early release but supports the sending and receiving of files between any TOS based computer from ST to Hades and any PC from an XT to a Pentium at around five times the speed supported by Ghostlink UTL.4410 . It doesn t give you virtual drives in the clever way that Ghostlink does but it s VERY fast at throwing large files across from one machine to the other. It is also possible to connect Atari to Atari and PC to PC. Software and cable diagrams yes you ll need to make up the cable yourself for both machines/transfer options is included. SPEAKOFF 2 by Thomas Binder - An Auto folder program which switches off the Falcon s internal speaker before other programs load up. There s also a bootsector installer which creates an executable bootsector performing the same function which can be written to any floppy disk. XUFSL V1.05 by Stefan Roge l - A universal font selector for use with GDOS SpeedoGDOS and NVDI v3 or higher . It allows fonts to be easily selected from a pop-up GEM window in applications which support the extended universal font selector protocols. Very well presented product with lots of user-definable settings. All in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. ICON EDITOR V1.0 by Carbonsoft - Allows you to edit the colour icons used for the TOS 4.xx Desktop. This version does not allow you to create your own icons just edit existing ones. Although it has all the usual editing tools it seems a bit limited but further versions are planned. Demo of Flexi-Dump . Load screenshots or your own artwork and print them out at various different sizes. Various options have been removed from this demo version. DCD Demo - A demo version of DC DESKTOP (a replacement Desktop) by Double Click Software of their new program, a GEM Desktop enhancement program. Harmonix - Electronic Artform #4. A visual harmonics demo by YAK. Mastdemo - Demo of a command line interpreter similar to MSDOS. POWER UP V1.0 by MC Soft - A racing car game from the Czech Republic. The game is seen from an overhead perspective looking down on the track. Five cars participate in each race, two of which can be human controlled. Control is by keyboard or joystick and is much more responsive than similar games of this type. The aim of the game is simple, to win the race and reduce your own lap time. Power Up is unique in that it runs on any Atari computer but has the ability to utilise the blitter and DMA sound (at 25 Khz on the STE) if your hardware supports it. Even STFM owners get digitised music! It can also output sound to Replay, Replay Professional, Playback, MV16 and Prosound Designer cartridges. This is a cut down version allowing you to play on three different tracks. The track editor is disabled but all other options are fully functional. The full version has lots more tracks and 5 different scenarios for each track. It also includes the track editor, more music and more graphics. Full docs in English and Czech, game in English.

COMPOSE CHARACTERS KEYBOARD DRIVER V1.5 by Pascal Fellerich - Allows you to type foreign characters easily on any nationality of keyboard. You do this holding down the ALT key and typing the two or more characters which make up the character required.

Please note that these will only work on TOS 4.04 and that you will first need to copy a ROM image to disk SHBUF will do that for you and then you ll need to reblow the EPROMs with an EPROM programmer. The patches resolve the following - set timeout limit if no IDE drive fitted switch off IDE drive at bootup use SCSI drives which will not normally co-exist with the built-in IDE drive change the bomb symbols set printer timeout set fastload bit for floppy drive disable search for Drive B when booting disable grow/shrink boxes replace Atari logo at bootup and a few others.

HP SOURCE Issue 2 - This is the second issue of the programmers' specific magazine and is again crammed with articles. Selection of articles is by means of a joystick controlled scrolling barrel, and the main intro is good. In assembler, there is a guide to Gemdos & file reading, screen techniques, smooth scrolling, lots of tips for speed improvements, sprite pre-shifting explained. If this doesn't make any sense, then the assembler for complete beginners may appeal to you. Equally, for STOS users there's lots of source including border removal, rasters, star fields and more. Other articles include reviews of STOS 3D, Around The World and a exclusive guide to Sheffield Wednesday (the football club)! A big real time article from a coding party (including a lot of bad language) and the 300k of Atari Falcon articles fill out the magazine nicely. Don't miss the Thomas The Tank Engine quiz!

This is a text based game with no jazzy graphics, but it gets you addicted regardless. Having said that,if you have an STE it comes with an excellent soundtrack and is jam packed full of digitised speech and sound effects. It runs on the STFM too, you just don't get the digitised sound. Needs 2Mb. TWILIGHT by Delirium Arts - A demo of a modular based screen saver which runs in any resolution from mono to True Colour and is fully Multi-TOS compatible. The demo restricts screen saving to 90 seconds and does not allow you to save you configuration. Apart from that, this version is fully functional.

They features graphics, music, spell casting, interaction with other characters and more. You start off by choosing the name, sex and associated picture for each of the four characters in your team, then it's off to the adventure. The adventure is mouse and keyboard controlled but there's no tedious typing of long sentences, a single keypress is usually sufficient. Anoraks of Doom takes place in a medieval setting and you get absolutely no background info on what you are supposed to be doing (except surviving). There is however an extensive playing guide which is applicable to all games in the series. Anoraks Of Doom is a well written atmospheric role-playing game which presents more of a challenge than I can muster! S-FALC.5235 DBA MAG 12 - This in undoubtedly the biggest disk mag ever created and comes about as the result of a joint venture between DBA ST News Maggie. It comes on two extended format HD disks and contains 170 articles four rather impressive 50khz MODs several demos and pictures and some PD bits and pieces too. The disk mag shell is great being really easy to use and allowing access to all features at all times. Text is displayed on a graphic background and pictures are often included in the text. To be honest there s not much more they could do to enhance it This issue concentrates heavily on the Fried Bits III demo coding convention with a real-time article run down of the winners review of the event and all the 96K demo entries and winning pictures on disk.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 1997 by Dead Hackers Society - An excellent seasonal offering from DHS. It features three medleys of Christmas music and three seasonal backdrops which would not be out of place on a Christmas card. As you would expect from DHS both music and graphics are of a very high standard. Needs 4Mb.

This demo allows you to play three hands against Joe Chuck and Montana Slim. Well worth checking out, especially if you're thinking of getting the full version. Needs 1 Meg. NEODESK 4 by Gribnif - A fully usable demo of the latest incarnation of this leading replacement Desktop. This version represents a major upgrade over NEODesk 3 and includes many advanced features, many of which are discussed in the accompanying text file. NEODesk 4 is fully compatible with leading multi-tasking operating systems and offers all the advantages of TOS 2.06 and NEODesk 3 as well as lots of similar features to those found in Windows on the PC and System 7 on the Apple Macintosh. The demo does not allow you to copy or move files, save configuration or format a disk. It goes through the motions in most cases to demonstrate its speed, but does not actually write anything. In addition your computer resets if you try to quit the demo. TWIST II by HiSoft - A well presented relational database which uses the 'modern face of GEM'. Almost everything can be customised to suit your individual needs and each database is contained within its own GEM window (containing its own drop down menus) on the Twist Desktop. The demo is restricted to saving databases containing less than 10 records and does not print out. Well worth checking out. BIGDOS 8 by Rainer Seitel - An ISO 9293 replacement file system which completely replaces the GEMDOS of TOS but not MagiC . BIGDOS as the name suggests replaces GEMDOS with an MS-DOS compatible file system and therefore allows you to connect PC formatted hard drives and removable media devices such as ZIP drives Syquests etc and read their contents directly. Files saved from your Atari to these devices can then be read directly when connected to a PC. BIGDOS supports up to 32 partitions and 65518 clusters. Cluster size can be anything from 1 to 65 sectors thus supporting a maximum 32K cluster size. Partition sizes can easily exceed the 32 Mb size limit imposed by pre-TOS 4 machines. BIGDOS requires an XHDI 1.20 compliant hard disk driver to be installed. A patch is included to update the latest AHDI driver on FALC.3983 to these specifications. If you are using HD Driver v4.51 or later you don t need the patch as that driver is fully XHDI compatible. Docs in English and German. XHDI v1.25 by Julian Reischke - Full specifications of the XHDI standard which support mass storage media and allows you to address more than 16 partitions on your Atari. Includes C source. Docs in English and German. DF by Julian Reschke - A program which gives info on any hard drive but specifically XHDI compliant ones. For techies only PATCH 1.2U - Takes a file containing any of the four recognised difference listings produced by I.diff and patches a specified original file. Suitable for use to patch your existing AHDI driver to XHDI standard for use with BIGDOS. Includes C source. GENEVA 004 UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v003 of Gribnif s Geneva multi-tasking operating system to v004. The new version is a major upgrade over its predecessor with lots of new features and several bug fixes. All Geneva users are advised to upgrade. Please note that you will require original Geneva v003 master disks in order to perform the upgrade. If you don t already have Geneva this disk is of no use to you. START ME UP V0.01 - Allows you to start up ACCs after boot up if running Multi-TOS Geneva or MagiC 4. Won t run on single TOS. CALAMUS TABLE GENERATOR V1.2 by Michal Setlak - Create tables easily with this useful utility and export them in CVG format ready for import into Calamus. Docs in English and Polish. Program in French and Polish Icon based so very easy to understand. FOR YOUR EYES ONLY V1.4 - A double-height screen emulator for your Falcon. It is most useful with RGB monitors where is springs into action if it detects an interlaced mode. In these cases the interlace vanishes and is replaced by a double-height flicker free display. FYEO also works on VGA monitors but only in cases where a resolution booster such as ScreenBlaster or BlowUp 030 drives the monitor in an interlaced mode. In non-interlaced modes FYEO simply sits dormant. Ideally suited to anyone with bad eyesight.

THE PIXEL TWINS XMAS DEMO 1991 - Move Santa from one part of the room to another using the cursor keys. Press RETURN when standing beside the presents to enter the sub demos. Try switching on the Xmas tree lights or having a drink! This demo is nothing spectacular but it is highly amusing. Recommended for the kids. HUNT FOR GREY NOVEMBER by Martin Ribbink - A submarine has been stolen by terrorists, your mission is to destroy the subs from the air whilst flying your Lockheed S-3A Viking. The game screen shows a map over which you must fly, section by section, searching for the enemy, who is just as keen to destroy you as you are to remove him. Highly recommended. Needs 1 Meg. T he Omega Demo (by Omega!) . It starts off by displaying a boring title screen and a short scrolling message. Press the reset button. Now the action begins! A digitised face yells at you and the bombs appear. Sit back and watch. Features 64 different pieces of music from various ST games, 6 graphic demos and a game. Needs 1 Meg memory. ST+ ISSUE 7, JULY 1996 - Yet another cram packed issue with over 60 articles.

FIVE TO FIVE v2.13 - Analyses and converts various sample formats (AIFF, AIFF-CUBASE, AVR, DVSM, FORTUNE, HSN, SND, WAVE, RAW) between different computer systems (ST, Falcon, Sun, NeXT, Mac, PC). Runs on any Atari. AUDIODEV by Eric Smith - A device driver for MiNT to drive the STE's DMA; plays at 12.5 khz only. Source code included. SOUND PLAYER by Richard Kurz - An easy to use sample player which handles 8 and 16 bit mono and stereo via monitor or DMA hardware. Just load and play! SWAV V0.2 by Christophe Bartholme - Plays 8-bit or 16-bit WAV samples up to to 50khz via the DMA. It can be installed as an application so that WAV files can be double-clicked, or you can run it as a TTP or from a CLI giving it various parameters. Probably even more useful is its ability to be executed from an Auto folder as it can randomly select a WAV file which will be played at bootup. ANOTHER CD-PLAYER (ACDP) V1.01 by Christian Mittendorf - Audio CD driver for use with MetaDOS. It has been designed for use on the Falcon with FALCON.BOS but should also run on the ST. ACDP has many functions which include playing the audio tracks, reading the actual table of contents of the CD, stopping the song, changing to the next song and more. Runs as a PRG or ACC. THE GUITAR REFERENCE by Alan Richardson - Displays a user-definable guitar fretboard on screen to which different scales and tunings can be displayed. Includes a tuner which plays over MIDI or sound chip. THE MUSIC PLAYER V1.0 by Christian Dahl - Yet another MOD file player but this one actually has some extras to offer. As well as the usual 4 track MODs TMP also handles 6 track and 8 track variations. It plays the MODs at 50 Khz, supports the VA-START protocol and can be run from a CLI. Up to 20 MODs can be loaded at once and TMP is fully multi-tasking friendly. Runs as a PRG or ACC. From the author of Octalyser. MUSEX1 by Seymour Shlien - A program for practising and learning musical notation by selecting the correct note on the on-screen keyboard in response to a note appearing randomly on the stave. Offers Test, Lesson and Unstructured modes. Response times given at the end of the lesson. Colour ONLY. MUSEX2 by Seymour Shlien - Ear training excercises - no, not wiggling them in time to music but developing the ability to identify musical intervals! Several levels of difficulty. Simple point and click interface. PLAY_AVR by Timothy Raine - A sample player which automatically converts 16 bit to 8 bit samples (why you should want to do this I don't know), resamples to nearest internal playback frequency and signs an unsigned sample. SP_COPY - A copy utility specifically for the Peavey SP sample player. It lets you copy selected SP-banks or the entire medium (hard drive, CD-ROM etc). We don't have one of these machines so you're on your own here! TIME IS MONEY by Jerome Cabanis - Performs all the necessary conversion calculations between tempo and note values expressed in terms of hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Everything can be converted and expressed in terms of any other supported unit of measurement. A handy ACC to have loaded when composing. The Psychadelic House Acid Mix by PeeWee of The Overlanders . One of the better Acid Mix disks. This is the predecessor to the STE demo on DEM.545C. Needs 1 Meg. Tim Orens GEM classes . First printed in Antic. Written from the point of view of the C programmer. Now updated to dual format. The disk is essentially the same but has the text format- ted in 1st Word (WRD.15) format. Also we now have the source codes to go with the series. PPP KIT V1.4 by Philippe Abel - Allows you to use CAB WWW Browser with a service provider who supports the PPP protocol rather than SLIP as supported by STiK . It requires CAB FALC.5420 and HS Modem FALC.4365 in addition to the files supplied. Unlike other MintNet applications you do not need to format a separate Minix partition. The kit includes a cut down version of MintNet MintNet compatible CAB.OVL as well as all the MintNet setup files required and detailed instructions on how to get the system up and running in both English and French. All you have to do is edit the configuration files to suit your ISP. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. THRUST V0.5 by Alexander Kirchner - How many of you remember Thrust on the C64, Spectrum and others? This is the ST version and it runs in a GEM window. For those unfamiliar with the original, you control your spacecraft in a similar manner to that used in the game Asteroids (except there are no asteroids!) and must avoid crashing and being hit by enemy fire. The goal appears to be to destroy the other spacecrafts and find a ball located somewhere within the level. Reaching the ball results in completion of the level. Only one level is supplied but you can make up more using any monochrome graphics package and a text editor. Instructions in German but we've done a RUF translation. AWELE V1.00 by Dominique Bereziat - The computer implementation of an African game known as Sungo or Ubao. It is played on a board with 12 holes, each containing a different stone. The computer controls the top half of the board, you control the bottom. The aim is to capture as many stones as possible. Program in English and French. The rules are explained in the ST-Guide (UTL.5557) Help file (in English). A must for fans of board games. QUADRAT v1.0 by Dirk Hagedorn - A magic squares game. The aim of the game is to place the tiles (numbered from 1 to 25) onto a 5x5 matrix so that all lines (horizontally, vertically and diagonally) add up to 64. Fully multi-tasking friendly. An excellent challenging puzzle game. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. WALLBALL by Michael Waters - A bat and ball game for two players. You hit the ball across a barrier in a similar way to playing tennis. If your opponent misses it, you get the point. Each time the ball bounces across the barrier, another brick is added to it, the taller the barrier, the harder it is to get the ball over it. EAT MY BOLLOCKS by Equinox - Another demo with a bias towards solid 3D objects and 3D vector ball objects. A ten part demo which loads from disk as required. Interesting effects include 3 mini screens moving across each other and a 3D Mandelbrot set. The spinning sine wave scroller is unique as well as being unreadable! The guest screen by The Black Cats features mapping effects onto different faces of 3D objects. Top class graphics and sound throughout. DBA magazine Issue #9 - It's the ninth issue of the Disk Busters Association's leading PD disk magazine, and well, what more can we say?! There's 103 excellent articles which are all accessed via the usual pleasing graphic interface, and this issue runs on the Falcon in ST low res. Articles include a tale of one man's Falcon purchase, drawing in ASCII, a strange piece on a member of Animal Mine's faith, a transcript of the Monty Python Cheese sketch, an alarming article on how humans are half blind, an article that tells you how and why you should write articles, and lots more. The reviews section is positively bulging in this issue! Check out reviews of new CD's by Iron Maiden, Coverdale/Page, QuireBoys, Van Halen and many more. There's also news of lots of forthcoming albums from various artists/bands, lots of Hard Rock news and information on which new bands to look out for. Other articles include a review of MultiTOS, a preview of Atari Works, 4 SNES games reviews and a Lynx solution. Software on the disk includes a SID soundchip music editor, a brand new depacker, a new paint package that is designed with coders in mind, and simply too much else to mention. A comprehensive set of compression and archiving utilities and user friendly GEM shells to drive them . EDMSHELL - A configurable shell for Arc, Lharc, Zip and Zoo.

NOT STE STAMP VALUES V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with Xcontrol on FALC.4862 which calculates the minimum stamps required to make up any specified postage value. You can specify which denominations of stamps you have available and the data files may be updated when postage rates increase or stamp denominations change. Highly recommended if you regularly need to post odd-priced items. RAGE by The Resevoir Gods - Nemesis owners will be impressed by the speed increase on their machines but somewhat disappointed that many games and demos refuse to run correctly. This little patch restores the Videl chip back to a Nemesis friendly state when rogue programs try to mess it up. FALC_RS1 - Replacement RSC files for use with Atari s CHKDISK CONFIG HDX and HINSTALL which give them a 3D look. GETREZ0 by Jim Baumgardner - Intercepts calls to getrez function to ensure they always return a zero. This lets you run some ST low res software on 640x480 resolutions on the Falcon. INSTALL V1.0 by Funship - Allows programmers to supply their software in a user friendly manner. Install is set up to prompt for each disk appropriately in the case of multiple disk installations. It can also install the various components to different locations on your hard drive as required. It can also uninstall programs. Very easy to set up and use with English French and German RSCs. All docs in English. DCLICK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you install applications to be started by data files bearing different extensions. You can also decide whether that program should be started in TOS or GEM mode and pass parameters to it. If you have lots of installed applications this is an excellent way to keep your Desktop/Newdesk INF files down in size. Also just modify one line in every INF on your system and the same installed application list will be active in all resolutions. DOAUTO 2 by Christian Peppermuller - A boot selector program which lets you set up as many as 30 custom boot up settings. It is particularly useful as it can automatically run programs from outside the Auto folder completely transparent to the user and you can leave useful comments in the configuration files. ACCs can be loaded from the root directory of any drive not just C. Also less memory can be allocated to the system during boot up in order to improve speed. Your computer s full memory allocation is restored immediately after booting. ED_E - A basic text editor intended for editing/creating the config files for Dclick and DoAuto. FILELINK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you create aliases. These are small files which automatically start up the main program. Aliases could be grouped in folders according to program types although the real program is often in a completely different location on your hard drive. Performs the same function as an Alias on the Mac or a Shortcut in Windows 95. DO SHUTDOWN by Alexander Barton - An ACC which activates a Shutdown from MagiC. It automatically shuts down the system from the ACC menu without having to return to the Desktop and select Quit from the File menu. LOOK V2.4 by Gen Wax - An impressive file editor written in Visual Assembler. It displays the contents of any file in both hexadecimal and ASCII in a GEM window. Edit either window and both are changed instantly although nothing is saved to disk until you select to do so. Up to 16 files may be edited or searched simultaneously. Perhaps the best file edit ever written Runs as a PRG or ACC. HARD DISK SAVER II by Pierre Laloe - Spins down your hard drive when it is not being used for read or write operations. This saves power and wear and tear on the drive motor. Only works if you have an XHDI driver such as HD Driver installed. Obviously the drive spins up immediately as soon as you attempt to access it. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Includes assembler source. AV TEST V1.1 by Alexander Barton - Searches for the active AV server in your system and displays a list of its capabilities some AV servers are more functional than others along with the AES version number. Of no use unless you are running a replacement Desktop eg Thing which is AV compatible. AV SERVER V1.1 by Alexander Barton - An AV server for use with MagiC and MagXDesk. MagiC versions prior to v5 did not incorporate AV support and v5 only implements it partially. This program adds full AV support to MagXDesk. It is only required if you are using MagiC with MagXDesk it is not needed if you are using Ease as your replacement Desktop. CONFIG SL V2.2 by David Cottenceau - Acts as a sort of boot manager for SL as it lets you create several CALAMUS.SET files each of which may have different modules active and swap between them. It also links in to CFN View and Pack CDK to let you view fonts or archive fonts or documents assuming you have these packages installed on your system. Unfortunately program and docs are in French. JAY FORMATTER V2.1 by Jay Software - Lets you format disks to normal or extended capacities DD and HD . You can also change the disk s volume label or simply zero the disk rather than format it. Lots of other options are also available. On of the best formatting programs ever. Runs as an ACC or PRG. Multi-TOS compatible. JAY GROUPS v1.0 by Jay Software - Lets you create symbolic links aliases to files on your hard drive. It is then a case of opening the appropriate group to bring it up in a Desktop window look-alike. Double-click a file to run it or a folder to open it. A folder inside a group may have its contents in many different locations on your hard drive but they appear as if they are all in the same location. An excellent way to organise your Desktop. Most useful under a multi-tasking system but does run under single TOS. Compatible the Jayshell. LIFT OFF by Lxix Software - A simple to use program launcher for use under single TOS. Once set up just click the name of a program from its menu to run that program no matter where it is on your hard drive. NVRAM v1.04 by Centek - Lets you set up various parameters stored in non- volatile RAM and save them as default. These include SCSI bus arbitation SCSI ID and drive power down all of which are only available with an XHDI driver installed date and time format screen resolution and mode keyboard layout and language. Very well designed but with no docs THE PROHIBITOR V1.0 by Lxix Software - A password protection program. This one is better than most because it sounds off a siren until the machine is rebooted if an incorrect password is entered. Also it hides the password program and file so they cannot be seen on the Desktop. Finally it lists the number of failed accesses the next time you successfully log on. RENAMER v1.0 by Lxix Software - Lets you rename any file using illegal ASCII characters. Warning - don t use lowercase on the Falcon or the files will become invisible G-TOOL TRANSLATION PATCH by Jared Addington - Patches the German package Graftool so as to translate the text within the program into English. This patch only works with the versions dated 04.02.96 and 01.01.97 and should not be used with any other versions. We ve tried it and it works perfectly ROMAN V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Translates decimal numbers into Roman numerals. SPEAKER TOGGLE V1.0 by Lxix Software - Run from the Auto folder it switches off the Falcon s internal speaker. Run it from the Desktop and it alternately toggles it on and ofFALC. DOM S VIEWER V1.00 by Dominique Bereziat - A text file viewer which displays files in a GEM window. It also displays the contents of binary files in hexadecimal. It is ideally suited for use on multi-tasking systems but also works on single TOS. In both cases it can be installed as the default file viewer. If you insert specific codes into your text files they will be displayed using bold italic underlined or coloured text as specified. Docs and program in French but easy enough to figure out. GNUCHESS v3.5 E by Simon Boyd - A very good chess simulator with a variety of functions available, including a piece editor, numerous skill levels and a hint feature for those moments when you need a little helping hand. Includes some good graphics and is fully mouse controlled. This is a modified version with several major bug fixes and new features. It is therefore in many ways just as good as v4. However, this implementation runs on mono monitors only. One of the best PD chess games I have seen. 56 FONTS FOR USE IN CALAMUS DTP .

CQWK v2.0e by Dirk Hoeschen - Captain's QWK is one of the ST's standard QWK mail handling programs. QWK is a method of bundling all your messages from/to a BBS into one file, then compressing it using ARC, ZIP, LZH, or some similar archiving utility. Similar to BlueWave on the PC. It saves lots of online time (and phone bills)! This version has many improvements, mainly in window handling and allowing the use of external programs such as text editors. Your terminal program can even be defined as external, if you have enough memory, letting you do everything from inside CQWK. STLOGIN v4 by Kees Lemmers - A suite of utilities to handle remote operations on an ST from the other end of a serial connection. Mainly intended for use with MiNT. Has many UN*X type commands. XYZPATCH - Patches XYZ.TTP v2.02B to allow you to change the timeout period. Note: This will not work on any other version of XYZ.TTP! colour Clip Art in GIF format .

FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 28 - Four more 256 colour animations. Player program supplied. GEARS2 - Two cogs turn against each other to drive a machine which is churning out marbles. GLOBE - A spinning globe of the world. Very impressive. BNR0002 - A massive FLI which shows the Binaris a Falcon programming group from France logo spinning through 360 degrees and coming together. A very artistic prsentation. AQUARIUM - Watch a solid 3D fish swim around an aquarium blowing bubbles as it goes. BNR002 and Aquarium really need 4 Meg but will play from disk if you have less. KALEIDO by Toad Computers - A simple but effective demo. A square moves across the screen leaving a pattern of multi-coloured squares behind it. Difficult to describe but nice to watch. RGB ONLY. SHADEVEC by TAT - This demo consists of shaded vector bobs in various different shapes and colours. Great music plays throughout. Only runs in 40 column True Colour mode. RGB ONLY. C-030 by Calabi of Extract - This really is an odd demo. It kicks off with the startup screen of a Commodore 64 then burst into glorious stereo The soundtrack carries on throughout the demo. Most screens are text in English luckily and not very interesting at that but there are some good raster effects and keftales which make it all worthwhile. The demo ends with some Frenchmen singing in the New Year DISTORTED DREAM by Adrenaline - A short demo with some good effects generated from thousands of fast moving dots. There s some solid 3D objects and the usual stereo soundtrack too. RGB ONLY. TRUE DEMO by Eclipse - A futuristic spacecraft moves through a 3D starfield and encounters lots of solid 3D futuristic looking objects as it goes. RGB ONLY must be run from True Colour. NEW TREND DSP SOURCES VOL 1 2 3 - A massive collection of over 200 source code examples in DSP 56001 assembly language. These have been converted to run on the Falcon from source code on the NeXT workstation by the demo coders New Trend. Originally supplied on three DS/DD disks this disk contains the entire 3 volume collection. There s not much by way of documentation so this disk is more for experienced programmers than beginners. SEWER SOFTWARE PICTURE DISK 2 by Sewer Hedgehog and Golden Otter . A coolection of 23 superb digitised pictures, mostly of animals. Each picture has a tune and scrolltext to go with it. The pictures display best on pre-STE machines although they will run on the STE. GNU Make - a make utility for use with GNU C on LAN.28, 29 and 30. This disk is only of use when used with the above set. THE ULTIMATE DIY UPGRADE KIT #2 - Six more DIY projects for anyone who is handy with a soldering iron and has a basic knowledge of electronics. Once again, we accept no responsibility for any damage caused to your machine by use (or misuse) of the information on this disk. CARTRDG - The ST's cartridge port is a read only device, you can load previously installed data from a cartridge but you cannot write to a cartridge or any device connected to the cartridge port. This project allows you to upgrade the cartridge port to read/write status. As well as a bit of soldering, you also need to burn information into a PAL device and adapt your own programs to write to the port (example assembler source supplied). This is a highly ambitious project but a variant of it was used to build a 4Mb "RAM disk" module (which retained its contents even after power down) some years back and it could be put to other uses. SIMM - Explains how to build a PCB which will allow SIMMs to be used to upgrade the memory of pre-STE machines. The board allows you to have 1Mb, 2Mb, 2.5Mb or 4Mb of RAM including what is already fitted in your ST. The PCB design is in Scooter format. The demo version of Scooter on DEM.6003M will let you view it and print it out. 25MGUPGD - Details how to upgrade an ST to 2.5 Mb. It does not involve the use of a PCB. You merely use the higher capacity 1 megabit chips in the second memory bank (removing the 0.5Mb of chips already there if it's a 1040) and wiring up the "extra legs" of the larger devices appropriately in order to address the larger capacity devices. MEGAFL44 - Explains how to install a second hard drive inside the case of an Atari Megafile 44. It's not merely a case of fitting it, some settings also need changed so that the new device is recognised. SCSIHOST - Details how to modify the built-in host adaptor on a Stacy or Mega STE so that it can handle two hard drives. A very simple modification in comparison to some of the other projects on this disk. SH404 - How to add a second drive to an SH204 drive without requiring second controller. This was written before the days of SCSI through ports and involves configuring the second drive as logical unit 1, something you never hear of nowadays. If you do have an old SH204, this might well be the cheap way to add a second (much larger) drive to your system. ARCHIVER - Versions 2.01K and 2.01L of Thomas Quester's LHArc utility. AWESOME DOC DISPLAYER - A very capable document displayer which has been modelled on the Revenge Doc Displayer. Colour Only. THE GURU - A Hypertext ACC by Wooleysoft. Create your own Hypertext documents and call them up at any time from within GEM based programs. Similar to Hype but without the graphics and sound. The primary function of The Guru is for use as an on-line help facility. OVERLAY - Combine up 4 picture files using this program. STOS source is provided which allows you to separate the pictures and fade from one to another. The most likely use for these overlayed pictures is in demo intros and video titling. Colour only. TELEBASE V1.4 - An excellent program for storing names, addresses and telephone numbers. If you have an Autodial modem, you can even dial the numbers from within the program. Up to 56 numbers can be stored per file and there is no limit to the amount of files you can create. The program is GEM based and very easy to use. TUI_DEMO - An extensive accessory based CLI. Although this is a demo, many functions are implemented. TURBO COPY 3 - Copies selected files into memory, then saves them to selected destination disk. Avoids the hassles of disk swapping and uses all available memory when copying files. Works on floppy and hard drives. WERCSGFA - Converts Wercs .H files into .LST format for use in GFA Basic programs. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 18 - Eighteen months on and this 3D construction kit magazine is still being produced monthly! What's more, it's every bit as packed with information and data now as it was when it started up. As usual, this month you will find a huge amount of help and information and all the latest news from the 3D world. There's lots of OBJects, datafiles, borders, brushes and sampled sounds. A multi-format multi-user game is included as are various clock routines, several tutorials and lots of adverts. In the leisure section there's a list of people wanting penpals, some jokes about mathematics, and an article on the Internet looks at FTP and how to use it. There's a book review of Computer Viruses and Anti-Virus Warfare and you can have your say on the water shortage, the National Lottery or the Mondex card (the money of the future?). Everything on disk is very well documented and will be priceless to any 3D kit user. CLISP by Bruno Haible and Michael Stoll - An implementation of Common LISP for the Atari ST. Full installation docs are included but it is assumed that you have a working knowledge of LISP, as no other documentation is included. GFA LINK-FILER V2.2 by MUG UK - This is a program aimed soley at GFA Basic coders. It allows authors of programs (especially games and demos) to incorporate all their external data files into one large file. This file can be accessed using simple procedures (included on disk as example listings) which replace your original loading routines for your external files. Comprehensive docs are included. LDEV by Thierry Bousch - An installable device driver for the Centronics port. Just execute the program "lpdev.ttp" or put it in your mint.cnf file and it will install the /dev/lp device. This driver is interrupt driven and therefore shouldn't hog the processor too much. Good docs are included and obviously MINT is required. Source code included. OOPLIB V0.01 by Craig Graham - Provides support for dynamic class and object manipulation from HiSoft BASIC 2. OOPLIB runs on any Atari including the Falcon and has a very minimal code overhead (<2Kbytes for the libary code). Extensive docs are included with examples and full installation procedure. Source code included. ST_TAR - There are two programs in this distribution. DTAR extracts all files from a Tar archive or lists its contents. CTAR creates a Tar archive from the files or directories specified on the command line. All files created are Unix Tar compatible and DTAR will also extract all files from a Unix Tar file as well as an Atari one. Includes docs and some working examples. Spinning Dolls . One Meg memory needed. This is one of the best graphics demos on the ST. Various demos by "Tex". These demos are in a class of their own. Also included are instructions on how to make your own demos. GPBOOK v1.2 by Adrian Wherry - A German phrase book covering a good number of topics including friends, eating, accomodation etc. Simply click onto the selection required and choose E or G to view the phrase, then any key to view the translation. Regrettably there's no facility for you to input your own choice of phrases, but the software does cover 16 categories and has over 50 phrases in most categories. There's even a multiple choice session after all phrases have been displayed. Works from English to German or vice versa. Needs 1 Mb. MATHS CSYS v1.03 by Brian Duff - This advanced Mathematics program is A Level standard - the questions (advanced Algebra, integration etc.) are based on Paper 1 of the Scottish 6th Year Studies Group. A question is asked and the user is required to type in the answer; a few intermediate prompts are given if required. There are over eighty questions included. SPANISH MASTER - An early program related to learning this language. Here the user may choose the pronoun, the tense and insert the correct answer from the given infinitive. There are plenty of help screens relating to tenses etc. Comprehensive but not for the beginner. THE MEGA XXXX DEMO by Steve Jarrett - A worthy followup to the 91 Demo on DEM.743C. This two disk set features no less than 20 sub demos, including 4 guest screens, which are loaded from a main menu. The intro itself is a fullscreen distorting scroller! The demo can be run from either disk but you obviously need both disks if you want to see all the sub demos! The screens are a mixed bunch and include such effects as parallax scrolling, multi-plane scrollers, fullscreen demos, unlimited bobs demos (one of which you can control yourself) and several demos created using the Misty STOS extension on DEM.3474C. If that's not enough for you, there's a music demo with 34 pieces of music from ST games! COSMIC JAM by Imagina - A 'rolling' demo rather than the usual multi-demo. Effects include 3D multi-coloured polygons (the best of which features one object rotating inside another), keftales and more. It ends with a superb animation sequence followed by the credits. A stereo soundtrack plays throughout. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. BALLS IN 96 by Headache Projects - A 96K intro which starts off with the words Wolfenstein and Doom mapped around two spheres. It then progresses to a couple more interesting texture mapped spheres. Doesn t run on 14 Mb machines. Uses DSP for soundtrack so needs to be run on a clean system. EARTH by Gaston - A rotating globe which bounces around the screen. Makes clever use of sphere mapping. DSP generated soundtrack so prone to crashing unless run on a clean system. WAIWALA by NCC - Their entry in the Place To Be Again demo competition. A short intro which features the waiwala logo and spline vectors followed by a real time zoomer. It ends in a nicely presented credits screen. ROTOZOOM by Gen Wax - A True Colour real time zoomer which runs as an ACC. You can run this photographic quality zoomer within its own window on the Desktop or from inside your favourite application Includes full Visual Assembler source code. SCHWABEL by Bernd H benett - An example of a real time generated plasma effect which changes as you move the mouse. Includes full assembler source. All demos on this disk are RGB ONLY. CORONADO ENTERPRISES "C" TUTOR V 1.00 - Two folders are included on this disk. Manual.Txt contains approximately 291K of documentation on the various "C" source codes contained in the Side Two folder. If you are into programming in "C" this is the one for you. Printer recommended. ST Connexions Sound Demo . Features nine Amiga soundtracker files, each sampled at 28khz. You can load in any soundtracker file by pressing F10. HEARTLAND by Tony Greenwood - Tony's teamed up with artist Dean Chadwick to bring you this latest release. It's a fast action multi- directional scrolling platforms and ladders game. The authors claim it features the largest playing area of any Atari platformer, not difficult to believe when you look at the on-line map! The hearts suite from a pack of playing cards has gone missing and your job is to find them. Every card is hidden behind a door, retrieve the card and you're transported to a different part of the map! As you would expect, there's lots of things to collect, hazzards to avoid and so on. This is a very fast moving game (I've seldom seen a game so fast!) and is a fun game for all the family. Perhaps Tony's best yet? Needs 1 Mb. DOUGLAS ROCKMOOR 2 - This disk contains half Meg versions of Douglas 1 & 2 as well as the complete 1 Meg version of Douglas 2 and a couple of demos. Douglas Rockmoor is a Boulderdash clone and is perhaps the most addictive game around! PACMAN ST by Robert Leong - The definitive version. Written in 68000 code with smooth full screen scrolling, this is Budgie's tribute to the king of them all! Six levels plus bonuses. Classic version plus modern version. Choice of standard or hectic. Start munching... The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. ANORAKS OF DOOM - The first in the "Untramieled Adventures" series of games created with HEXAID on UTL.6153. All games in this series are of the role-playing variety and run from the same shell but feature different graphics and game content. They features graphics, music, spell casting, interaction with other characters and more. You start off by choosing the name, sex and associated picture for each of the four characters in your team, then it's off to the adventure. The adventure is mouse and keyboard controlled but there's no tedious typing of long sentences, a single keypress is usually sufficient. Anoraks of Doom takes place in a medieval setting and you get absolutely no background info on what you are supposed to be doing (except surviving). There is however an extensive playing guide which is applicable to all games in the series. Anoraks Of Doom is a well written atmospheric role-playing game which presents more of a challenge than I can muster! Tools for bare metal men. SC84 - GEMmed driver for Wireless World's SC84 EPROM programmer (address for kit of parts included). XASMA18 - Cross assembler for the RCA 1802-6 series of microprocessors. XASMA68 - Cross assembler for Motorola 6800-6808 and 68701 microprocessors. Hefty documentation and C source included. HEXTOS - Converts an Intel Hex file into a Motorola S record. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are FRUIT006-FRUIT019, ?MARK001, ACESCARD, ARROW005-ARROW029. EXTREME RAGE by Anatomica - This is the very last demo from one of the greatest STE demo coding groups. After the introductory music, several sine curves are formed from thousands of dots. These then convert to other shapes, closely followed by shadebobs forming patterns across the screen. The old favourite spinning, moving globe makes an appearance and changes into other shapes. Full screen colourshocks later appear, followed by multi- coloured wire frame moving objects. The greetings and scrolltext come in at the end. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. ST REPORT Issues 805-810 - An on-line magazine from The States. Covers the period 31st January 1992 to 6th March 1992.

An excellent new mag for Falcon users but language is strong in places so avoid if you are likely to be offended. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. PPP KIT V1.4 by Philippe Abel - Allows you to use CAB (WWW Browser) with a service provider who supports the PPP protocol rather than SLIP (as supported by STiK). It requires CAB (COM.5551) and HS Modem (COM.4407) in addition to the files supplied. Unlike other MintNet applications, you do not need to format a separate Minix partition. The kit includes a cut down version of MintNet, MintNet compatible CAB.OVL as well as all the MintNet setup files required and detailed instructions on how to get the system up and running in both English and French. All you have to do is edit the configuration files to suit your ISP. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Cyber animations - The Dream and Spike. Needs 1 Meg.

Profile is invaluable in helping you track down software incompatibilities as well as being a useful tool for 'snooping around' inside your ST! All printing and saving is disabled in this version. Register for only 5.00 to enable these features. RUFTRADE 2.QN by Charles Edwards - This program has evolved from E_DICT on UTL.4637 and is currently one of the best automated German to English translation programs around. Its built-in dictionary's strength comes from the fact that it is computer oriented rather than limited to 'everyday' German. In addition, a number of common German phrases do not make sense when translated literally and Ruftrade attempts to identify these and subsitute meaningful alternatives for them. Ruftrade is used to translate much of the documentation for the latest PD & Shareware releases. This is the very last release of Ruftrade and is now Freeware. FOOTBALL TACTICIAN 1 (PREMIER LEAGUE) by Camy Maertens - Originally released by Talking Birds, this version covers the English Premier League. It is a full version, for up to twenty four users (restricted to the Premier League)! This soccer management game includes strategy and real-time match decisions on formations, tactics, marking, substitutions, injuries etc. There's a built-in team editor and the top scorers, transfer list and last twenty seasons are instantly viewable. Football Tactician 1 (Premier League) has a complete instruction manual on disk. This is the precursor to Football Tactician 2 which is now the top selling management game on the ST and Amiga. Although not essential, 1 Meg of memory is recommended. This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. CURRENCY CONVERTER V1.0 by Mario Becroft - Converts between the currencies of UK, USA, Germany, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Japan, Hong Kong, Holland and Portugal. Other currencies can be added. Sensible (current) conversion rates are given and these can be altered to the exact exchange rate. The country name, currency name, currency symbol and exchange rate are all displayed. Enter the amount in one currency and click the convert button to display its value in any other currency. You can even subtract VAT (or the appropriate sales tax) from the value of any transaction provided you know the current rate for that country. An invaluable piece of Shareware. ELF ARC V1.5 - An easy to use archiver shell. Unlike most other archiver shells, this one includes a built-in archiver. It lets you create archives, view their contents (and read text files within them) or extract their contents. You can also create self-extracting archives. Uses the LHA compression method. HP STUDIO V1.0 by Aurelien Diot - Described as "the Atari-HP-48 Interface", this package allows you to link up your Atari to a Hewlett Packard HP-48G/48GX handheld organiser. You can create/edit graphics, text and fonts or even write your own assembler programs for the HP-48 on your Atari. Data can then be transmitted back to the handheld device. Music Demos 1 & 2 by The Slaytanic Cult. Choose from a selection of 9 Quartet tunes on the first demo or from 6 on the second. Needs 1 Meg. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program. Files are ARMYBEAT, DREAM, GOTSWING, IWMC, PAN, ROUND1. NUTWORKS - A wierd, humorous mixture of everything and nothing! Nutworks is a collection of jokes, comments etc, most of which have absolutely nothing to do with computers. On disk are issues 1-20. We'll stock more of these if there is a demand. Bobsdump - does a screendump from a Panasonic KX-P1124 printer. Boot Em Up - allows you to install customised boot sectors on your disks. Crunch3 - another packer for executable files. Flopicat - a disk cataloguing program similar to STDCat on UTL.159. Quicktos - allows you to load a TOS.IMG file quickly from disk or hard disk. Saves having to reboot the system. Sagrolib - a collection of boot sectors and viruses for use with Sagrotan on UTL.89. A program on disk allows these to be viewed and edited. Mono only. Translated by Robin de la Motte. Smart Date - set up time and date on bootup. After rebooting, time will be wrong but the date will be set correctly when saving files. DDP - a disk directory printer. Turbo CTS - fixes the CTS/RTX bug in the RS232 port. Wait Time - waits until a specified time before executing a program. Control.ACC - the last version of the control panel from Atari. STE owners can now access colours in the range 0- 15 and everyone else will notice no difference. List - A line numbering program. It takes the specified input file (ASCII text only) and generates a sequentially line number copy of that file. GSTLink - A new linker for the GST Bin format used by Lattice C and Metacomco Pascal. It supports several new options. RSRCanel - Resource File Analysis program. The purpose of this program is to provide the GEM programmer with a report of the trees, objects, free strings and free images contained within a resource file. Varlint - A C utility - This program is designed to assist when coding in 'C'. It double checks your syntax for those functions that have a variable number of arguments and use the same syntax as printf/scanf. ST Klick - A multi-purpose ACC which contains various items like a notepad & calendar, alarm, calculator, printer initialiser, typewriter and notepad. Translated by Robin de la Motte. Dump - Display HEX & ASCII contents of any file in a full size GEM window. Shell - An integrated shell capable of running a linker, compiler and editor. It is fully GEM based but also supports keyboard shortcuts. Thanks to Robin de la Motte for the translation. WILDLIFE AND JAGPICS - A COLLECTION OF GIF PICTURES. These pictures are exclusively devoted to photographs of the Atari Jaguar games console and of wildlife photography. Jaguar pictures are CARTRIDG CONTROLR JAGCOMP JAGSYSTM. Wildlife pictures are BEARS CAT FISHY FLAMANT GULLS LABRADOR LINX MEGAFISH MONKEY MONKEY2. Viewer program supplied. OPERATION ANGELICA by Camy Maertens - This is the first of two games based on the South Atlantic Conflict. Your aim is to rescue troops stranded on Buff Cove. Many hazards will get in your way, unexploded minesbeing only one. Guide your armoured personnel carrier through the Cove sucessfully collecting the stranded men as you go. Several different levels provide a challenge. Full instructions can be accessed by pressing the F keys. A QUEST FOR GALAXIA by Gary Wheaton and The Shapeshifters - A conversion of the old Atari 8-bit game. An excellent shoot 'em up in a similar vein to Ace Invaders. This one is much better! PSICOTIC by Philip Rankin - A horizontal scrolling shoot 'em up based somewhere in outer space. Once again written in STOS Basic. Excellent sound and graphics with a number of different levels to complete. NOT TOS 2 upwards. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. YEPYHA DEMO by The Toons - The first demo by a new Falcon group formed mostly from the old Megabusters. It starts up with a snow type display like you get on a TV having reception problems. It then goes on to simulate a TV being set up and switched to the video channel. The demo then starts up properly. Yepyha features lots of high quality artwork some of which is raytraced a well presented original even unusual soundtrack and a number of special effects. These include semi-transparent circles 3D wireframe graphics gourad shaded 3D shapes rotating any scaling in real time a texture mapped semi-transparent rubber ball and some magnifying glass type effects. A short demo but of the highest quality. X-PERIENCE by Abstract - Their entry in the Place To Be Again demo competition. If features 3D gourad shaded objects multi-coloured 3D dot generated objects lots of them multi-coloured 3D objects rotating and scaling in real time 4D effect with solid objects passing through each other lots of raytraced graphics two stereo soundtracks and much more. Makes use of the DSP for all effects. Well worth adding to your collection. Both demos on this disk are RGB ONLY and need 4 Mb. Studio Support Disk 1 . Croce - Documentation and source files for combining Music Studio files and pictures in a slideshow. Music Studio Player - Plays tunes created using The Music Studio through the Midi port. Patcher - Sends different voices to a Casio keyboard. Record Player - Create albums from your song files and then replay them via the monitor.

Songdump - Dump the values of the notes in a SNG file to screen as it plays the song. 38 FONTS FOR USE IN CALAMUS DTP . Fonts are FRESI_UP, HOBO_CD, H_LIN1BI, H_LIN1CI, H_LIN1RI, H_LIN1SI, H_LIN2BI, H_LIN2CI, H_LINE1B, H_LINE1C, H_LINE1R, H_LINE1S, H_LINE2B, H_LINE2C, H_LINE_K, INLAY, JAVELIN, KARIN_D, KARIN_I, KARIN_M, KARIN_P, KRELI0N, KRELI0NC, KRELI0NI, KRELI0NX, KRELIAS, KRELIASC, LONGTYPE, LONGT_CD, LONGT_IC, LONGT_IT, MACSYS1, MACSYS1I, MACSYS2, MACSYS2B, MACSYS2I, MACSYS3, MACSYS3C. SYSTEM AUDIO MANAGER (SAM) V1.3 - Originally bundled free with the Falcon, JTS Atari have now given permission for SAM to be distributed freely. Despite its Falcon roots, SAM runs on any Atari computer with DMA sound (STE/TT/Falcon). SAM allows you to attach sampled sounds to system events eg; an explosion to bombs, Big Ben chiming for the system bell sound and so on. Alerts, file selectors, closing windows, indeed any GEM event can have a sample assigned to it. In addition, you can assign different samples to the keys on the keyboard. Press Help and it says 'Help', press Undo and it says 'Undo' etc. Adding samples to every key goes a bit over the top and can be off-putting, especially if you're typing! SAM accepts sound samples in AVR or WAV formats, so you can use any the masses of PD samples available. Create your sounds using any of the available sampling cartridges for the ST. If they do not save in AVR format, use Five To Five on MUS.5304 to convert them. SAM's built-in sample editor is simple to use and more than adequate for tidying up your samples. SAM was designed in such a way that programmers could make their programs SAM aware. When running such programs you can assign samples to various events handled by that application. To be honest the possibilities were endless, the problem was that nobody ever supported SAM in their programs. The reason appears to be due to a bug in SAM which meant that the configuration files were not read correctly. This version has been patched by Kosmic Phish Productions to fix the bug (the last official version was 1.2). SAM is very well documented (on disk) and includes a full tutorial. SAMPLES - A collection of 40 sound samples to get you started with SAM. KP SACK V1.0 - An easy to use editor for creating SAA files. These are configuration files created by programmers of SAM aware application. They are read by SAM to determine which samples to assign to which events. KP SACK allows you to create SAA files easily. It also extends the Applications Global function in SAM. This function lets you set up common events for all SAM aware applications rather than (or in addition to) program specific ones. The original set of Applications Global functions have been further extended by Kosmic Phish to include 16 new Application Globals which include support for some of the more modern GEM features such as iconification and tile/stack windows. KP SACK is an excellent tool for programmers. Needs 1 Mb. STE ONLY. ESPANOL - A truly excellent program for learning, reviewing or checking the conjugation of Spanish verbs. The learning procedure may be done in English, French, German or Spanish! Program content covers lessons, questions and levels of learning for ALL tenses of 12OO verbs! The interactive menu control is professional in every respect and help screens may be referred to at any time. Answers are typed to the screen and a record of results is saved to disk. 37 degrees of proficiency are available making this an excellent addition to the educational field. Highly recommended. PLAYSPELL - A joystick controlled spelling game for youngster, where a word is shown and individual letters caught in a net. This was originally a B- Ware commercial product and has been re-released as Shareware. For your five pounds registration fee you get two further databases (Animals & Birds). PIG DEMO - A brief demo showing the potential of the full program where money is dropped into a pig bank. Addition and subtraction are related to this and all coinage is in dollars & cents. The full program may be obtained for a mere $5 registration fee. WORLD OF WONDERS by NPG - Another 'rolling' demo (i.e. no menu). The first screen creates objects from vast numbers of dots. You can select which shapes are created, by pressing the function keys. The rest of the screens all feature vector graphics, either filled or wire frame. Varying effects are applied to these, the Gelee cube being a first! Some original artwork of monsters and futuristic characters also make an appearance, as do digitised pictures of the coders themselves. A great demo from NPG. 27 POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 FONTS . Can be used with Pagestream or Didot Professional. Fonts are ALBATROS CALIGULA CRILLEE DAVYDING EIRE GRAPHICL GREENCAP MANZANIT MIAMINIT NORDIC PARISMET PIXIEFON PRIME ROOSTHEA ROOSTHEA ARCTIC2 BALLETEN BILLDING CHILIPEP DEIGO1 DUBIEL DUBIELIT HARQUIL HOTSHOT LEMIESZ SHOWBOAT SILICON. The PD version of the IMAGIC GRAPHIC COMPILER from Application Systems Heidelberg . It is a complete art package and much more. You can create your artwork within Imagic and then animate it. It is also possible to import your own graphics. The quality of animations possible is incredible. This disk contains the Imagic program along with both mono and colour demos. The version of Imagic on this disk is an early one and it is not possible to compile your own stand alone programs. You must load and execute your creations through the Imagic program. Needs 1 Meg. The Music Matrix - The PD demo version of this Midi based disk-mag. It's more a collection of Midi programs and articles than a traditional magazine on disk. It is aimed at the professional musician using Midi on an ST. This issue contains programs in Fast Basic, GFA Basic and ST Basic. Also included is a sequencer which plays three Christmas songs. There are quite a few documentation files on disk. . THE CODE A DAY CONVENTION - A chance to see some of the entries to a demo coding convention held a few years ago. The entries are split across, modules, boot ups (demos which can fit on a bootsector!) and a 3.5K demo, all selected from a menu. The four sound modules entries are of an extremely high quality. The boot disk entries include a couple of mandelbrots and some other colourful bits and pieces. The 3.5K demo is a spiral pattern which is generated from the centre of the screen outwards. It 'grows' very slowly, eventually filling the screen. The final section contains some digitised pictures of three of the coders pulling faces! Well worth hearing the MODs, the demos aren't bad either! Needs 1 Mb. MULTICAD V1.30 by Jim Taylor - One of the most professional drafting packages on the market. MultiCAD is suitable for a variety of uses including architecture, chemistry, engineering and PCB design. Libraries of architectural, electrical and mechanical shapes are included with the package as well as primitives of common shapes. It makes use of a a massive 32,768 x 32,768 pixel screen and allows you to zoom in and out easily. What's more, the entire drawing can be printed out in sections ready to paste together. The program is capable of creating multi-layer drawings and will import and export CADja files. This version restricts the size of your drawings to 5K and brings up nagging messages frequently. Apart from that, it's a complete implementation. The registered version is available direct from the author. QUICKTIME PLAYER V0.96 by Dieter Fiebelkorn - Lets you view Quicktime movies MOV files on your ST/E. These files are typically found on PC and MAC CD s. This version of the player only supports CVID 24 bit and does not play the sound but it s a start Optimised versions for 020 processors and FPU s are also included. ALVI V0.05B by Uwe Haase - A JPEG viewer. Despite what the docs say you must run ALVI from the Desktop i.e. drag drop etc don t work . The current version runs in any resolution but only displays the image in monochrome. Image can be displayed at various zoom levels. Its main claim to fame is its speed at loading without having to use the DSP. GIF MERGE V1.33 by Mark Podlipec Rene Mueller - Reads a GIF91 file presumably a script file and merges the listed GIFs into a single animation file. You can control the speed of animation starting frame looping transparency and more. Regrettably the docs are very sparse. PNG by Eric Prevoteau - Load and Save modules for GEM-View which allow it to handle PNG files Compuserve s replacement for GIF . Just drop them into the appropriate GEM-VIEW folders it s as simple as that. JPEGDEMO.RIM by Eric Cunha - A demo version of an M E JPEG loader module for use on STs and TTs. Works with Bitmap View. BORDURE by Denis Miguel - Creates a border within the image s original boundaries of the size and colour you specify around any 8-bit or 24-bit Type 2 or 3 TGA image. You can even allow the image to gradually fade into the border and specify settings for this too Docs in French but easy to figure out. REDUCE TGA V2.0 by Denis Miguel - Lets you resize any 24-bit or 8-bit Type 2 or 3 TGA image by typing in a percentage for each axis or the exact dimensions in pixels required. Once again French but obvious. ROTATE TGA V1.0 by Denis Miguel - Rotates an 8-bit or 24-bit Type 2 or 3 TGA by a specified number of degrees. The image s size is increased to avoid cropping. It can be displayed on a black background or using a tiled effect with multiple copies of the image being used as the background to give a 3D effect. Once again French but obvious. All Denis Miguel s TGA utilities work blind i.e. without displaying the image so they can be run from any resolution without affecting the image quality. AVI_QT V1.10 by Guillaume Tello - Another Quicktime and AVI movie player. It scores over Dieter Fiebelkorn s version by being faster as its written in assembler and having sound support. It supports MOV files with CVID compression only and AVIs with CVID and CRAM16 compression. 8/16 bit sound is supported in TWOS or RAW format and sound/video can be played together or separately if sync problems occur . Can be run from the Desktop or files dropped onto its icon. Runs on a Falcon in True Colour and a TT in 256 colours with lots of RAM or with a NOVA card. AVI PLAYER V0.3 by Seb of The Removers - Install as an Application then you need only double-click AVIs to run them. Like AVI_QT this program also supports sound although quality is variable. It has the advantage of playing direct from disk useful if memory is low. Uses the DSP for speed. Fontedit v3.3 - Design and edit screen and printer fonts. Includes various associated utilities allowing use of fonts within word processors etc. This is an update of Fontedit v3.0 and works in colour or mono and all versions of TOS. This disk is designed for use with printers that can download alternative font sets. There are numerous fonts supplied on disk. KITTYPUK - A two player game. One player uses the mouse, the other a joystick. For cat haters everywhere! Fire missiles at your enemy whilst avoiding those fired at you. ZOOX - An excellent and very addictive puzzle game. The object of the game is to control a ball around a grid, avoiding enemy balls and stationary blocks. Each time you pause, a copy of your ball is left behind. You must fill up all the squares on each level to progress to the next. STOS source for both games is included. THE SYMIC DEMO by Axxis - Rather a slow demo to start with but once you get into it proper, the main menu allows you to listen to your selection from 147 tunes from ST games. Move up and down the list using the cursor keys and press Space to select a tune. MAGGIE 23 - This ever popular diskzine makes its second appearance this year having missed its proposed Atari Shows release. This ST version is the same as the Falcon version in content, it just lacks the screenshots and uses a different shell program. All the usuals are there including Editorial, Adverts, Letters, News, Reviews, Interviews and of course the Hidden Article. There's book, movie and video reviews as well as lots of amusing tales you'll never unearth elsewhere. The news section is particularly crammed this month with snippets on such matters as Inter's new demo, release versions of four new Falcon games (Crown of Creation, Painium Disaster, Running and Republic), a development kit which lets you write Jaguar games on an ST or Falcon, Quake on the Falcon, HERO 2 from Tony G, an enhanced GameBoy emulator on the Falcon, an Elite clone for the Falcon, a warning to DIY enthusiasts, forthcoming demo parties, lots of demo scene news and the full results of the SILIconvention demo coding competitions. Games reviews are of Running, Willy The Adventurer, Donkey Island, Cannon Fodder II, Billy Boy, Eijktris, Solitar Deluxe, Grange Hill (on the Spectrum!), STUN Runner and Bill & Ted (both Lynx). Demo reviews include Sonolumineszenz, IT, Sili-Con-Carne, Ignis, Six Sievert 96K, P2B Intro and others.... Hardware reviews are of Nemesis, Gemulator and the NEC Multi-Sync 3D monitor. Software reviewed is Escape Paint, Flaysid and the Skyline CD- ROM. This issue's interviews are with Pieter va der Meer, Eddie's Cat, Matthew Gosling and MW-Elektonik. There's reports from the Spring Atari Shows and the SILIconvention and the Story of GodBoy, Other articles include advice on avoiding repetitive 'net material in disk mags, a couple of pieces on the development of the demo scene over the years, a speed test on the Afterburner, a comparison of file packers, a piece on rescuing distressed electronic components, a Falcon games guide, a roundup of 1996 on the Falcon, 3D programming and much more... Another impressive release. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are HUMOUR13-HUMOUR29. CLICK RUN v1.2 by David Reitter - The best program launcher ever! You set it up so that each page contains similar type programs. The programs themselves are represented by icons, similar to those used on the Desktop. It is then a case of selecting the appropriate group, then the correct icon from that group. Probably the most elegant way of accessing every file on your hard drive with a couple of mouse clicks, overcoming the maximum number of icons which can ordinarily be placed on the Desktop (on TOS 2.xx). Runs as a PRG or ACC (if you have a replacement Desktop which supports the AV Protocol). Some restrictions on this unregistered version. PARAFIN V1.37 - A file locator which runs in the background as a PRG under Multi-TOS or an ACC under single TOS. Put simply, it lets you perform the search whilst continuing work within another GEM based program. You can iconify its window or even top another without affecting the search. Various search options can be specified. It can search recursive directories, include hidden files in the search, look for only files which match certain specified attributes and much more. When run as a PRG, you can even launch programs directly from its window! DATE_DAY v1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which takes any valid date as its input and returns the day, the day number and the week number (in the year) for the specified date. Please note that this does not take account of the change from the Julian to Gregorian calendars. FONTSEL V1.09 by Holger Weets & Christoph Zwerschke - An attempt at a universal (Speedo)GDOS font selector. Many programs call up the GEM file selector (or your chosen alternative) when you wish to choose a font. With Fontsel installed, it is called up instead offering a simple choice of font names, point sizes and text attributes from a simple menu. You can also preview standard text or indeed the entire character set of your font, displayed at the chosen size, from within Fontsel. Other useful information is also given about the selected font. Even if your GDOS application refuses to hook into Fontsel in place of its own font selector, it's still worth running as an ACC due its enhanced features. UNDELETE - Restores files and folders which have been deleted accidentally, as long as you have not written to the disk since you deleted them. Medium res only, only works on floppies. VDIFONT by Michael Bernau - A useful utility which prints out the entire character set of all (Speedo)GDOS fonts installed in your system. It also prints the font name, ID number, type (GDOS, SpeedoGDOS etc) and whether or not it is monospaced. It's all in German but still invaluable for the printout. Please note that VDIFONT writes a temporary file to the path it was run from, so it should ideally be run from a hard drive or a blank floppy. FILEEDIT by Philip Taylor - Allows you to edit any type of file (although you can do damage if you don't know what you're doing!). Includes search, replace, cutting and pasting of blocks etc; and displays the full ASCII character set. Fairly easy to use. HOMEPAGE PENGUIN PRO V2.08 by Matthias Jaap - This program is one of the most well designed (and useful!) I've seen in a long time. It's a followup to Homepage Penguin on COM.5899. No longer Shareware, this is a demo version of a commercial release. HPP Pro lets you create rather astounding Web pages without the need to see a single HTML command. It sounds rather far fetched, but it's true. Like its predecessor, it lets you turn ASCII text and an image of your choice into a nicely presented page, but that's where the similarity ends. This version can be run in colour as well as mono, supports background images, multiple frames, sound, different fonts, text alignment, two column text, simple selection of text/background colours, re-sizing of images and lots more. It even supports a number of features not currently handled by today's Atari Web browsers! Other features include real-time previews within CAB and support for plug-ins. If you want to learn HTML, you can optionally have HPP Pro insert comments into your file explaining the use of the commands! Docs in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. This demo version has the Navigator (gives you almost complete freedom in the design of your page), OLGA support, BubbleGEM support and lots of other advanced features disabled. This version does let you save your pages and is therefore a great tool for experimentation. When you get the urge to "do more", the full version can be purchased from FaST Club in the UK. PHILOSOPHICAL FACES - Engravings from the Victorian era showing "mental types" eg: greed, frivolity, brutality etc. All are 300 dpi or 400 dpi scans in IMG format. Files are FABRICAT, FEARFUL, FILTHY, GARULOUS, IMPURE, LOQUACOS, MOROSE. & DEM.4420C THE VEXIRIK MEGADEMO by Megadaz of Black Eagl e - An eighteen screen demo written in STOS Basic. The screens contain all the usual scrollers, graphical effects and music. The vector balls demo is surprisingly fast for STOS. One of the demos is a jukebox of 13 pieces of soundchip music. Read the scroller for hints on how to access the three hidden demos. Quite a good demo for STOS, the only annoying thing is that you have to remember to have disk 1 in the drive when exiting any screen. By the way, don't panic when the Draco screen bombs out, it's supposed to! Needs 1 Meg, NOT TOS 2 upwards. C64 - The nostalgic Commodore 64 emulator. Complete with German keyboard layout & docs! GNU Plot - Plots mathematical functions to screen or printer. Some help screens but no docs. Mono only. CDECL2S - Language teaching aid. Converts C source to verbose (English) descriptions or vice versa. Source only, C compiler needed.Patch - Updates a file by applying list of changes generated by Unix DIFF utility. C source and runnable program. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FANFLA__, FAUS____, FILCOH, FILCOOS, FILCOOSB, FILCOOSI, FIRBLA__, FIREWORK, FITZROY, FITZROYI, FKAFONT_, FLAG. THE APATHETIC GAMES COMPILATION BY THE BBC - These games were originally intended as commercial productions but were never released. The authors have decided to release them as PD rather than let their work go to waste. BEEBRIS - A Tetris clone with a number of added extras and a variety of game types. CYCLES - Trap your opponent's laser line within your own in this light cycle type game. NOT STE. TCB Tracker modules disk 28 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are THESONG, SNOW_RUN, TIMESOLD, HEAPSHIT, TRIKLITE, VERTMAD, CASTLE. Desktop accessories . Calculators, breakout,fontload, spooler etc. Over 40 files in all. Nine more Degas fonts. Doodle-Degas and Degas-Doodle file convertors. 3 Sprite editors (colour only). Palette- set up your own choice of screen colours on boot up. Artshow-shows Art Director files as a slideshow. Calendar - prints calendar for required month to screen or printer. Ch-Time- sets up date/time.

Protect- allows "soft" protect of disk, similar to making a file "read only". Mike's Ramdisk- an excellent accessory which allows any size of ram disk and even allows you disable it after use without rebooting. Input- allows you to write your own "readme" files to disk without using a word processor. Startupm - allows user to run programs from within other programs, includes a screen saver. Typewriter- allows you to type directly from screen to printer. XUtil- allows you to blank out your screen when not in use also offers a reset function or allows programs to be run directly from Drive C. 53 SIGNUM FONTS for 24 pin printers .

MPEG FEVER V1.0 by Laurent Chaussy - A collection of utilities for analysing and creating MPEG animations all held together in a nice friendly GEM based shell. MPEG is the animator s equivalent of JPEG. It is a lossy compression method but first generation MPEGs are usually of a high enough quality to deceive the human eye into thinking that they are the same as the original. The loss in quality is offset by the fact that files are typically compressed to around 10 or less of their original size. MPEG Fever allows you to create your own MPEGs from a set of sequentially numbered TGA files other more obscure formats are also supported or extract the individual frames from an existing MPEG animation. You can also extract specified sections of the animation to its own MPEG file or join two animations together. A large amount of analysis of MPEGs is also supported for the technically minded. Includes 68000 68030 and 68882 FPU versions of the executables. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. S-FALC.3932 THE HUMANS DEMO by Imagitec - This must be the most impressive demo I ve seen to date. It s a comical look at the evolution of man and takes the form of an animated cartoon with an original stereo soundtrack. Read the Daily Rock and watch the animations which follow. These cover such important discoveries as the spear fire the rope the wheel and space travel to name but a few. You re guaranteed to split your sides laughing at this one This massive animation is over 3 Meg in size and requires a hard drive. However it will run on a 1 Meg machine since it loads continuously . NOT VGA. Highly recommended. HAUNTED - You play the part of a monk possessed with supernatural powers. Search the corridors of a dark abbey looking for the treasure vault. OVERLAND - A vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. You must fly as far as you can over enemy territory to destroy a fuel base, avoiding hostile ground fire. One or two player option. MUTANT - A nuclear reactor has overloaded and radiation has leaked into the mines, mutating all who are infected. Your task is to clear the mutants from the mines by blasting everything in sight. TOMB - Set in the Tomb of Ra, you must explore the passageways and collect gems as you go. Beware of nasties lurking in the passages intent on your demise. All four games are by Ken Reader using SEUK. Autoboot and double click the files HAUNTED.SCK, OVERLAND.SCK, MUTANT.SCK or TOMB.SCK to run.

Now run this program and it will be converted to a 300 dpi IMG file of your page. PGS_AP_D - An ACC which allows you to insert characters not normally obtainable from the keyboard (as outlined in Appendix D of the Pagestream manual), into a Pagestream document. PGS_CS - An improved version of the last program which can only be used with Pagestream 2. DRIVERS - Printer drivers for the HP Deskjet 500C, HP PaintjetXL, SpectraStar CMY and ST Okimate (all colour printers). PSSYMB_A - A document displaying the Appendix D characters along with their control codes. ROOST - A font for use in Pagestream. TEXTEFF - Two documents showing how to create Postscript effects from within Pagestream. In addition, there are a number of other miscellaneous Pagestream documents on disk which should prove invaluable. CHKFMT v1.1 by George Woodside - Reads the BPB of a floppy disk then displays the number of sides, sectors, tracks per sector, total sectors, disk capacity, free space and disk serial number. DJMAGIC by Rueben Thomas - Allows you to switch on an HP Deskjet after your computer without having to reset the computer in order to recognise the printer. Now MagiC compatible. EPSON_BJ by I Porter - Converts Epson compatible 24-pin softfonts into IBM ProPrinter compatible fonts for use on the Canon BJ series of bubblejet printers. EPSTPROX v3.04 by Thierry Rudolfo - A SpeedoGDOS printer driver for the Epson Stylus Pro XL printer. Comes complete with installation program which writes the necessary info into your ASSIGN.SYS ready for use. Also installs a CPX which lets you configure it to suit. GENETICS by Matthew Carey - An attempt to recreate the program described by Richard Dawkins in his book The Blind Watcher. It shows how small cumulative changes to a limited number of genes can result in quite diverse forms. Several examples files are supplied. Simply select any point in a diagram and see how changes to it affect the other generations of that same diagram. INFINITE RETRY by Chris Strevens - Prevents the computer from timimg out if the printer is busy. Particularly useful when printing large files to laser printers as it supresses the 'Printer is not responding' error (usually when printing large files). KILL DRIVE B by Erling Henanger - Allows you to add or remove logical drives. Useful if you want to prevent TOS seeing a Minix partition or want to use an external floppy or hard drive which you forgot to switch on at boot up. DISKMASTER 3 by Tom Gordon - A multi-purpose utility which lets you carry out routine disk management tasks (view directory, create directory, copy/delete/move/rename files and folders and format disks). A few extras include the ability to calculate the size of a folder's contents, show free space on disk/in RAM, view/print NEO/Degas/Spectrum 512 files, play MOD files and display ASCII text files. All in all a versatile all round utility package. CHOPPER GLASSES DRIVER V1.0 by Glen Sescila - A DIY project which allows you to use 3D Sega Chopper glasses on your ST. It involves the building of a PCB (diagram on disk) and the use of the supplied driver software. The hardware is identical to the PC version of this project and interfaces via the serial port. The will work with all software written for the now defunct StereoTek glasses and have been tested with MOLECULE and CAD 3D2 from the CyberStudio series. COMPULSIVE COPIER V1.1 by John Grieggs - A very basic copier which has just one purpose, to create up to a maximum of 9 copies of any disk as quickly and simply as possible. An added bonus is the fact that the destination disk does not need to be formatted. The program does it for you. DMDUNG2 by John Logan - A new level for FTL's Dungeon Master game. Please note this is not a standalone level, requiring to be loaded into the original game. DMSPELL - Three Degas PI1 files illustrating all the spells available in the original Dungeon Master game, which characters can use them and what effects they have. You will need a package capable of viewing PI1 files (GEM-View, Imagecopy, Look 'n See etc) in order to make use of these. FLYING STARS V1.0 by Thomas Sahlin - A screen saver which displays stars when activated. What makes it different is that it does not automatically engage itself after a period of inactivity. Instead, it sits idly as an ACC and is not activated unless you select it. FORMAT V2.04 - A disk formatter which lets you format 40/80/81/82/83 tracks, single/double sided, 9/10 sectors. It also lets you create an MS-DOS compatible format or write a virus immunised bootsector. You can even have it write your favourite bootsector to every disk (includes a program to grab the bootsectors). Runs as an ACC or PRG. HD_CTRL4 - A DIY project which allows you to use high density drives on your ST. It involves the programming of a GAL device (data supplied) which handles most of the work. Some modifications to your ST are needed but these are minimal. If you don't have the facilities to program the GAL, it can be purchased from the author. This is the third GFA support disk and covers GFA utilities. Includes source code and executable programs. Extensively documented on disk. These three disks are invaluable aids to the GFA Basic programmer. Demo version of Easy Text Professional (the DTP program which only costs £ 19.95!) from ZZSoft. The demo version will not allow you to print out full pages. Needs 1 Meg COLLECTED POEMS by W B Yeats - A collection of 294 short poems by W B Yeats. These are all out of copyright and may be freely copied. EXPORT by Dominique Bereziat - Converts Unix text to Atari format and vice versa. Includes C sources. ICONS - Almost 500 custom icons in RSC format. These include icons for most popular Atari packages as well as Drive and printer icons etc. There's even some "borrowed" from the PC and Mac. Both standard size icons and miniature icons are included. They can be used as replacement Desktop icons with TOS 2.06 or later in the DESKICON.RSC file or with replacement Desktops such as Thing, Gemini, Ease etc. They are supplied as black and white icons for TOS 2.06 and in 16 colour format for TOS 3 upwards. In order to use these icons, you will require an icon editor such as Resource Master (on UTL.6105). CALCYB - An ACC which converts Calamus fonts so they can be used in CyberSculpt and CAD 3D. COLRDUMP - Replaces the ALT HELP print routine so you can output in colour to both 9 pin and 24 pin printers. SPECPRNT - At long last, a program which prints Spectrum 512 pictures. It outputs to 9 pin or 24 pin printers. The picture must be in SPU format (use SPC2SPU on ART.3139). GIF2550C by Martin Dryden - Prints GIF pictures to the HP Deskjet 550C. The GIF is printed out in up to 256 colours and is very high quality, especially if printed on HP's glossy paper. A couple of example GIFs are provided. GIF2RAW by Paul Hannington - Converts GIF pictures (any size) to QRT RAW format so you can load them into PhotoChrome (on ART.3303C) or any other program that uses RAW. Excellent for proportional rescaling too! OUTLINER - Outlines Degas pictures with some curious effects. EXTEND PI1 - At long last an answer to why DPaint ST has trouble with some Degas PI1s. It seems they should 32066 bytes and not 32034! This program puts it right. SPOFLITE v2.5 - A brand new GIF viewer from the USA that uses flicker control, dither and RGB adjustment. It's a shame this is only a viewer and has no save option as yet. PROFI ARTIST - A 1987 package which is rather like an updated GemPaint, but with options to load or create 320x 400 (two screen high) pictures. All the usual tools are there to experiment with. It saves PI? and DOODLE formats and works in all 3 resolutions. A word of warning - you must copy the program out of the folder and onto the root directory! MYMAIL v0.61b by Erik Hall - One of the most highly polished mailer programs ever written on an Atari. It is very graphically oriented with animated colour icons, but it's not all gloss, it's a highly capable program. Mymail uses either STiK (COM.5551) or STiNG (COM.6043) to connect to the outside world, so it is essential to have one or other installed before running the program. Features include the ability to check the subject line and sender's name before downloading mail (also lets you delete unwanted mail without downloading it), send and receive uuencoded and Base64 encoded attachments without the use of external programs, check the server for new messages at preset intervals when on-line, maintain mailing lists allowing you to send a single message to multiple recipients, option to automatically add signature file to all messages, and a whole lot more. Mymail includes all the features of Oasis, Newsie and Antmail along with a handful of invaluable extras, all dressed up in the most eye-grabbing interface you're ever likely to see. It supports OLGA (UTL.6071), BubbleGEM (UTL.6021), AV server messages and Multi-TOS's drag and drop protocol. All docs in HTML format so you'll need a copy of CAB (COM.5552) in order to read them. Here's the down side, Mymail needs to run on an AES supporting animated colour icons (N.AES, MagiC, Multi-TOS or TOS 4.xx). Even if you have one of the above, it still needs to be run in at least 16 colours with a minimum screen width of 640 pixels. This effectively means that when run on an ST, you either require a graphics card or a virtual screen driver such as LaceScan (UTL.6185). Requires at least 1Mb and a hard drive. CUBASE FIX - Allows you to toggle the scroll key on/off when using Moriarty Software's Monulator (v1.80 to v1.85) to run Cubase. MAKE MOD LIST V1.0 by Rami Vanel - A useful utility if you collect Soundtracker MOD files. It scans a specified directory then writes out information on the MOD files it finds, into an ASCII file. The info includes the file name, full module name and packed/unpacked size (if packed with Ice 2.4, Atomik 3.5 or Speed Packer 3). It can read info from S3M, DTM, MTM, MGT, FAR, DMF, XM, AMS, ULT, GT2 and 669 formats as well as stard MODs. English and French versions supplied. STRIPPER 2 by Christoph Spengler - A useful Desktop notes utility for multi-tasking operating systems. It lets you display up to 20 lines of text in a movable window. Up to 10 of these windows can be open at any time and you can specify whether the window is to remain open or close down after a predetermined time (useful for creating reminders at boot time). The note can be displayed using different fonts, colours and point sizes (if GDOS or a variant is installed) for each window and can be created easily in any text editor (you can even call your text editor to edit them 'on the fly' if running an AV compatible Desktop such as Thing (UTL.5102). CADENZA ADDRESS BOOK (CAB) V0.99.9 by Matthew Bacon - One of the best address books ever written. It looks simple, nothing more than a few lines of text (name and telephone number) in a movable GEM window. Click onto any entry to get the main database card where name, address, telephone/fax numbers and other notes can be found. Searching is simple, just type the first few letters of the surname or forename and all matches will be displayed instantly. As you type more letters, the search narrows until you are left with a single entry. Data can be sorted alphabetically and printed out. If you need a powerful yet easy to use address book, look no further. ATARI PERSONAL ORGANISER V1.32b by Matthew Bacon - An integrated package comprising of five Cadenza programs. There's a diary, notepad, calculator, clock and address book. The clock, calculator and address book programs are also available as stand alone programs but (unless you're short of memory) you will probably prefer this version. The diary is very flexible acting a reminder for upcoming events. Assuming your system clock is set correctly, you can instantly access the Today menu which holds all your info for the current day. Another useful feature is the 7 day summary which gives you an overview of the week ahead. You can even re-schedule diary entries, moving them from one date to another. Output is supported to disk or printer. The notepad is merely for jotting down reminders as you work, regrettably these cannot be saved. The stand alone version of the address book is also on this disk. The calculator and clock programs are on UTL.5782. PLAYBACK v2.x - A cut down ACC version of Print-It v2 on UTL.5782. It merely lets you send the required control codes to the printer. You will need to have (or create) a printer driver appropriate to your printer using a text editor or Print-It V2. After that it's a case of selecting the required functions from the list of those available. Its main advantages over Print-It v2 are its smaller memory requirements and ability to be called from within any GEM program. ICTARI #3 JUNE 1993 - There's very little by way of editorial in this issue but masses of source in Assembler, Basic, GFA, C and STOS. As usual, you will need a text editor such as Everest in order to read the files on this disk. Assembler sources cover loading and saving files using GEMDOS, accessing disk sectors using the BIOS, detecting the TOS version, hints & tips for speeding up your code, screen border removal, displaying the values in a disk's BPB, and displaying Spectrum 512 images. There's a fractal generator in HiSoft Basic and an incremental backup utility in C along with parts 1 & 2 of Tim Orens' GEM programming tutorial. GFA source includes a clock program, a Degas picture displayer, a tool for simpilfying the creation of GEM menus and lots of miscellaneous sources. STOS sources include routine to draw circles, calculate the day of the week on a given date, a sprite routine, and a routine to rescue data from a disk whose directory has been lost. Other features include the Atari GEMDOS manual, a review of the book "The Official Guide to Sid Meir's Railroad Tycoon" and an article explaining how to send demos over the Internet. Software on the disk includes a virus protector, debugging tool, Mega Depack and the Chameleon Desk Accessory loader. Clip Art in IMG format .

POWER 24 January 95 - Power has now been produced for two years and as it reaches its second birthday, it changes to a bi-monthly publication. This issue's contents include part 4 of The Skynet Times, The Ultimate Diskmag Round-Up, The Programmers Union, a report from the December London Atari Show, the latest ST news, PD Informer, STOS Advice Bureau, Talking Point, The Messenger, Satellite News and Dave Cobbledick's farewell to the ST scene. There's more ASCII art, chit chat, Deano translates some 'Hip Hop' talk and Kariaki tells us exactly what can be seen on Earth from space. There's also part 1 of the A-Z of cheats, Lynx cheats and solutions to BAT, Damocles and Midwinter. Chris Sharp tells us what 1994 was like for him and Power 94 looks back at some of the articles, features and interviews from past issues. Something for everyone. ST REPORT - This disk contains ST Report, the weekly on-line magazine from The States. The issues on disk are 843, 844, 845, 847, 848, covering the period from October 30th to December 4th 1992. A good all round read for the Atari range of computers. UFO ST #2 - Lee Round returns with a double-disk issue of this diskzine which inestigates UFOs and the paranormal. This issue kicks off with an extensive collection of reports of abductions by aliens. There's a listing of books on UFOlogy, a list of new UFO based book releases and a review of The Paranormal, a publication by Jenny Randle. The "Mars Special" section looks at various SETI projects, the mile long, 1500 ft high "humanoid face" found in one of the deserts of Mars, the followup to the Pathfinder mission and the writings of Tsiolkovsky, a Russian philosopher. In addition, there are over 20 miscellaneous pieces on UFOs, including sightings by pilots, Project Blue Book, a report of a close encounter, the Krill files and much more. Other features include a list of UFO based videos, where to buy a life-size alien, a listing of useful contacts for UFOlogists and an "interview" with Arthur C Clarke. A worthy followup with hours worth of reading material. Needs 1Mb SOUNDTRACKER FILES with player program . Files are ICE JARRE META PIANO PLEASE THE-FLOW HIPHAUS HURRICAN RESONANC UNVEILED YESSONIX GOING. This disks have different raytracing demos created using GFA Raytrace . All demos use a 60Hz program so they might not work on some TVs. Needs 1 Meg of memory. MULTI-USER DUNGEON (MUD) - This is the ST version of the original on-line Dungeons and Dragons game that started it all! There's no fancy graphics, MUD is entirely text based. Extensive documentation is included, but it's every bit as cryptic as the game itself! MUD runs on any ST/E with at least 1 Meg of memory and a hard drive. A great game to add to your BBS, which is bound to pull in more users. PLEASE NOTE:- MUD has been compressed to fit onto a floppy disk and MUST be decompressed to a hard drive before use. NEON 3D by Team Computer - An integrated 3D modeller raytracing and animation package from Germany. Usable demo versions of both the object editor and scene editor are supplied along with some brief get you going instructions. Also on disk is the famous demo featuring the Neon logo over a shimmering pool. It s worth getting the disk for that demo alone Programs and docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are BEERMUG2, BORDER13, BORDER14, BORDER15, BORDER16, BOWIE1, BOWIE2. Circuit Maker 2 by Robert Annett - Helps you design circuits for technology and physics projects at GCSE and A Level. Allows you to change a circuit without totally redrawing it. Colour only. DC Maxtrax - Works out the maximum tracks which can be formatted with your drive. Use a blank disk for the test or all data will be destroyed! Guardian - A Virus protector. LList5 - A program which prints out a ZX81 Basic file from your ST to your printer. Pmouse - Proportional mouse accelerator. The faster you move the mouse, the further it moves on screen. Shaolin - A character editor for the Thalion game Chambers Of Shaolin. STD Codes - Another program for finding STD codes. This one allows you to enter the place to find the code for, as well as the codes themselves. Addrbook - Address book database with manual and C source, colour only. BSSS - Save disk boot sectors for subsequent recovery after virus attack. Custom - Disk formatter. DCFormat v3.02 - An update to the program on UTL.107. Still the best disk formatter? Flxfast - Sets fastload bit on multiple programs in one pass, TOS 1.4 upwards. Samcomp - Sample compressor.Transwarp - Speeds up floppies. With C source, not TOS 1.4. CLIPART IN IMG FORMAT GOOD HOUSEKEEPING . 300 DPI SCANS FROM 1920 S EDITIONS OF THE MAGAZINE OF THE SAME NAME. Files are BEAU BOY_ONE BOY_TWO BREAKFST CHAIR CORSETS CORSET_1 CORSET_2 CORSET_5 CORSET_6 PARTY PIANO COUPLE ELECTROL FAMILY GRATE HOT_FOOD LADYMAID CORSET_8 GRAFTOOL V4/2/96 by JJ von Bargen - One of the best graphic conversion tools ever released. It loads images in raw screendump, BMP, GIF, IMG, JPG, GIF, MSX II, MidiMaze, PBM, PCD, PCX, PNG, TGA and TIFF formats and saves them as TIF, PNG, PCX, IMG or GIF. Its main claims to fame are that it can be run from floppy disk, loads and saves files twice as fast as GEMVIEW, uses less memory than GEM-View and it preserves the colour depth of the image (eg; load a 256 colour image into a 16 colour resolution and it will be displayed in 16 colours on screen but resaved as a 256 colour image with no loss of quality over the original). It also supports the playing of DL, FLI/FLC and GL animations. Various palette options and dithering methods are supported as is the ability to create thumbnail catalogues of your images. Graftool is under constant development. This version is about 95% in English although the docs are in German (along with a RUF translation). Later versions handle more file formats although they are not currently available in English. This unregistered version has some limitations but registration is free! FRACPACK by Eric Da Cunha - Four fractal generating modules for use with any program which supports Parx's M&E modules. They allow you to create fractals using the Mandelbrot, Julia, Octo, Barnsley and Phoenix sets. The less common Newton-Raphson method is also supported as is a new method which generates images which look like ceiling roses! These demo versions only create fixed resolution images, use a lower level of detail and are much slower than the full versions which may be obtained from the author. Docs in English and French. GFORGE V1.2 by John Beale - Generates a landscape texture using a process known as "random fractal forgery". The generated landscapes are very realistic in appearance, yet calculated from a simple algorythm. The output files are in 24-bit TGA or PNG format and may be used as standalone files or as backgrounds for POV scenes. A large amount of control is possible when creating these landscapes and the doc is very detailed. The program can hardly be described as user- friendly but the results can be impressive to say the least. 16 SOFT FONTS FOR THE HP LASERJET 4L - These must be used in conjunction with the printer controller software on S-UTL.4764 & S-UTL.4765. Fonts are GASPIPE, HAIRPIN, HEL8, HOBO, HPIN18, LOGIC12, OBLIQU24, PSHOP, ROC12, ROM10, RUNES12B, RUNES12O, SBARNUM, TEENY, TOYLND18, WOOD24. The Unreliable Demo by Lost K . Includes nine sub demos. THE LORDS - A collection of five standalone STOS demos by a French crew. These demos are more of an advertisement for STOS than anything else as they demonstrate scrolling text presented in various ways. Well presented with nice graphics. WILDFIRE DENTRO - A dentro is a small demo and this is one of the more impressive ones. It features stunning graphics, as well as a flapping Atari logo created from small different colour balls. The credits are given using a Star Wars type scroller which is one of the best examples of this type of scroller to date. Short but sweet and well worth seeing. STE ONLY. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 8 - Another excellent issue for all you 3D Construction Kit users out there. This month's contents include the following:- a beginners step by step tutorial game for Kit 1 users, several brushes which you can cut out to make animbrushes for use with Kit 2, pictures which can be used as icons or brushes, a kit consisting of a large snowy city for you to explore, and a new border kit. Most of the items in this issue are of a Christmas theme to bring a little Christmas spirit to your screen. There's also another spoof Star Trek script, a Christmas quiz, more 'C' tutorial text files, letters, the latest virtual reality news, plenty of advice and help, an article on how to use variables, plus much more. If you're a 3D Kit user you would be a fool to miss this! Cyber Paint animations by Harry Warren - The Hungry Bin and Charlie Brown. Needs 1 Meg memory. The Orchestrator - Can play a single tune or a continuous selection. This is a demo version of a composition package and plays via monitor or midi. Near Sythesiser Quality (NSQ) - Replays sampled sounds on disk via monitor or Midi. Synthesiser - Replays sampled sounds. . MUSAXX COMPILATION 1 by The Chaos Engine - Starts off with a great picture of a dragon which starts bouncing around the screen and drives you positively cross-eyed Press RETURN to fix the bouncing screen in place and view the scrolltext. There are fourteen originally composed stereo tunes which are diverse to say the least. They range from easy listening to house music and disco music with a few other oddments in between. A lot of work has gone into these compositions and all are well produced. Something for everyone in this compilation. VGA or RGB Needs 4 Mb. THE EUROSWAPS CD SPECIAL INTROS DISK TWO - This is the second complication disk (we don't have the first) of menu screens used by the Euroswaps on their various complication disks. The Introductions contain chip music with scroll text, some have graphic effects, others just a static picture. It refers to various games being on the disk. Do not be misled, this is a compilation of the intros only, NOT the games! Doesn't run on 4Mb machines. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are ACIDBAT2, FLETCH, GALAXYII, HDRIVIN, HUBBARD5, MAGFIELD, RJR, ROBOT, TONALEC_. SPEED OF LIGHT V3.8 - One of the fastest GIF and JPEG viewers around. It also supports Degas, Prism Paint and (X)IMG formats. Up to 20 images can be loaded, subject to memory and the viewing of oversize pictures is supported via scrolling. You can change resolution with SOL without rebooting and various options are included for optimising the colour palette or tweaking the colour values. Several colour reduction algorythms are included for converting an image to a resolution with fewer colours. Intensity and contrast can also be altered to suit. Scaling up and down and smoothing are also supported. SOL can also display pictures in a slideshow which may be customised using a powerful script language. There are lots of features associated with image processing but the most valuable, filtered image scaling (which allows you to enlarge an image and smooth it off to the same quality as the original), is reserved for registered users along with a few other odds and ends. SOL now runs in any resolution including monochrome! STOSSHOW - A slideshow for displaying Degas and NEO pictures written with STOS Basic. As well as showing the pictures, a number of different effects are used when displaying them. In addition, the pictures can be made memory resident so that you can run a slideshow in a shop window without having to worry about the disk getting stolen! Some example pictures and full source code are included on disk. STOSSHOW is STE ONLY. Sets of maps for FUTURE WARS, BEYOND ZORK, DUNGEON MASTER, INDIANA JONES & THE LAST CRUSADE and SPACE QUEST III. Demo of Campus CAD from Eidersoft. Fully functioning with the exceptions that you cannot save or print designs. Needs 1 Meg. Sampled Sounds (Speech) Disk 5 by Brian Ross . Suitable for use with Quartet, TCB Tracker or any of the PD Soundtracker clones. 46 samples on disk. NOISEPACKER - Packs samples and soundtracker modules by 50% plus. Not to be used for packing anything else! RANDPLAY - Boot-up sample playback and picture selector. Includes BYTEBACK, which compresses samples by 50%, for use with Randplay and SPL2AVR to convert raw sample data to AVR format. All three programs are Shareware by Martin H Smith. TCB PLAY - Plays TCB Tracker MOD files. Simply choose from 9 frequencies (up to 24.6 kHz)and load the module. Displays scrolling message whilst playing. SOUNDLAB v1.10 by Damien Jones - A sophisticated Shareware sample editor with a 115K manual on disk. This is not just a player program. It records using a sampling cartridge (Replay and Daatasound are the only ones tested) from 4.9 kHz to 30.72 kHz. Functions are those usually seen in commercial programs, eg; fade, loop, echo and many more. It uses a smart custom GUI with a unique help feature. Loads SPL, SAM and AVR files. Highly recommended. The TCB Tracker player is colour only, the others run in colour or mono. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 47 - Two more AutoDesk Animator creations. WALKER1 - How many of you remember the Walker Demo on the Amiga converted to the ST in which a Star Wars AT-AT walks past an Amiga firing off its guns Well this is an animation loosely based on that featuring an ST rather than an Amiga. HANGER1 - A humorous animation set in Outer Space. A spacecraft enters a hangar for refuelling and there are a few odd-looking creatures flying around. BOOTINFO - Place this program in an Auto folder and it will display the addresses of the stack, screen physical base, screen logical base, load address, screen res and the values of all the hardware registers on boot up. CSB_HELP - A collection of level maps for Chaos Strikes Back, a saved game from the beginning with four very powerful characters and all the portraits of the characters from Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back, including the new characters from the prison. If you can't beat it with this collection of bits and pieces, you never will! EXPANDO V1.5 - A convenient shell from which you can extract archived files. You still need the relevant archiver programs but Expando allows you to extract the files from the archives without having to resort to typing in long complicated parameters (which are different for each archive type). FALCON BOOT by Mike Watson - Writes a bootsector to the disk in your floppy drive. You can specify the cache and internal speaker to be on or off. You can also select to have the hard drive bypassed or autoboot a boot disk. Falcon only. KNUTSOFT - The predecessor to the Blitz fast copying program which bypasses the disk drive controller chip, reading, writing and formatting at the same time! The program includes full instructions on how to make up your own Blitz cable. A double sided disk can be copied in about 40 seconds using this program. You need two floppy drives and will need to be handy with a soldering iron! SAFEMENU - A CPX which allows you to change the behaviour of menus in GEM appplications and make them less likely to be activated by mistake. Menus can be made pull down (as opposed to drop down) like the Mac, activated by the right mouse button or activated only when the mouse touches the upper half of the menu. A mouse accelerator is also included. You will need XControl on UTL.391 to use this program. Requires the Cookie Jar to be installed, so you will need MAKE COOKIE on UTL.3095 if you have TOS v1.0 or 1.2. SAVERS - A collection of 12 screen savers for use with Warp 9. W9UP375 - Upgrades v3.74 of Warp 9 to v3.75. It will only work on an original of Warp 9 and can only be used with v3.74. THE DEMO WITH NO NAME by DDT - A three part STOS demo which features 4 channel soundchip music, wierd samples with pictures to match and three excellent soundtracker MODs. THE REISOFT COLLECTION - Three excellent SEUCK games by H J Reichenwallner. GALACTIC INFERNO - Starts off looking a bit like Space Invaders with the alien waves attacking you from above. You then jet off to Outer Space to take on more alien crafts and their vast array of weapons. HUNTING SEASON - Accompanied by your trusty dog and a double-barrelled shotgun, you embark upon a shooting expedition. The aim's simple, knock as many of those birds out of the sky as you can. There's just one complication, they fight back with a barrage of droppings which clog up your gun and lose you a life! RIVER OF NO RETURN - Fly up the length of a river shooting at the vast array of military vehicles trying to gun you down. Don't forget to rescue the civilians on your way! ENGLISH <==> GERMAN by Ralf Zimmerman - How would you like the power of a pocket translator on your Atari? OK, slight exaggeration but this package is the closest yet. It is supplied as ST-Guide (ST-Guide Lite included on disk) files which include several thousand English and German words. It is organised logically and offers translations in both directions. If you need to translate an entire ASCII text, Ruftrade (UTL.5003) will perform the task faster and save the result to disk. What this package does is let you look up individual words in either language and (unless you search the whole document) is much faster than using a pocket dictionary. It's slower than Ruftrade but much more accurate due to its larger vocabulary. I see it as an invaluable companion to Ruftrade for translating the words that package stumbles on. ENGLISH <==>GERMAN must have taken many months to compile and is an invaluable addition to everyone's collection. Needs 1Mb and a hard drive. FLASHDIAL - Script files for the Flash terminal emulator which allow you to autodial a list of numbers (from 3 to 10 numbers in total) and redial only those which did not connect. OMNI BBS V1.01 - A BBS with a difference, this one can run from a floppy based system. It is compatible with VT52, VT100, VT130, VT220, ANSI Televideo 912, 920, 925 and IBM 3101 terminals. If you just have one drive, message areas will be limited and uploading and downloading will be disabled. Apart from that, the system is fully functional. A ramdisk is needed if you do not own a hard drive and one is supplied with the package. RINGBACK V1.0 - Allows you to run a BBS and a voice phone on the same line. This programs checks for a specified number of rings and sets up the BBS to receive an incoming call the next time the phone rings (if appropriate). THE THIEVES GUILD V1.0 - A massive Shareware role playing game for running on a BBS. The game was developed over a period of five years and can be played for up to 24 minutes per day, with each minute equivalent to one hour of real time. There is also a module available on support BBS's for downloading which supports instant menu display, digitised sound, visual effects for all Atari users dialing into your BBS. This is a multi-player RPG where different callers to the BBS interact (albeit not in real time) with each other in the course of the day's events! It comes with an extensive manual on disk which includes plenty of hints and tips to get you going. EB MODEL V2.75A by Emmanuel Baranger - A universal 3D modeller for use with several different raytracing packages. It imports scripts from POV, CLOE and 3D Studio (on the PC). The ability to export files in anything other than EB-Model's own format is reserved for registered users. EB-Model simplifies the process of setting up cameras and lighting for your scene with the use of movable objects in a GEM window rather than the hit or miss approach of entering the data by hand into script files. The program includes precalculated objects (segments, boxes, prisms, tubes, spheres, pyramids, cones and more) and there's a library feature which lets you store copies of your own objects for use in other scenes. You can even spin and extrude shapes and create fractal landscapes. Your creation can of course be viewed from different elevations. The program uses the 'modern face of GEM' with colour icons, movable windows, 3D interface and so forth (all subject to which machine it's running on). It is compatible with all Atari machines and multi-tasking friendly. Unfortunately the docs are entirely in French although the program is in English. Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive. THE BEWICK COLLECTION - A collection of 300 dpi and 400 dpi scans (in IMG format) of wood engravings created by master craftsman, Thomas Bewick. Files are DOGS,GREYHUND, MASTIFF, NEWFOUND, OE_HOUND, GUARDDOG, HERONDOG, DOG_MEAL.

PART 1 7-UP V2.3 by Michael Thanitz - The English version of this popular German Shareware text editor. Calling 7-UP a text editor is a little misleading as it is really more of a word processor, featuring word wrap, (Speedo)GDOS support, a text preview option and so forth. It"s very fast, especially considering that it is fully GEMmed. Up to 7 texts may be worked on simultaneously from 7-UP"s built-in Desktop.

STOSSER Issue #15 (June 94) - The popular diskmag made by STOS users for STOS users, is back yet again with a rather apt theme for this issue, The World Cup. You can take part in the fun this month and try to take a team through to the finals of The STOSSER WORLD CUP! The idiot's guide to the Missing Link Extension takes you through making and using MAP commands. There's articles explaining how to use RANDOM command and the FADE command and a new series called Back to Basics, which is aimed at beginners. The A-Z of STOS continues, there's an article on copy protection by Matthew Hunter and there's more on the STOS Convention. Take a humourous break and read 'JUNKIES' by Auld Bastid or take part in the STOSSER Poll. The popular HOO-R-YOO concludes this issue and there's quite a few to finish off the series. If that's not enough, there's loads more contax, letters, adverts, problems and ideas, not to mention the Giveaways folder which is crammed full of PD!

THE TEKTRONIX SHAREWARE DISK - A compilation of the best Shareware programs to come from Tektronix between 1992 and 1994. GFA SOURCE - This folder contains the full source code for several finished programs and a few unfinished ones too. The finished programs include a music database, program launchers, fractal programs, a game, an ASCII file viewer, a password protection program and a kids art program. The unfinished code is many and varied. There's something for everyone here. Please note that you will need GFA Basic v3 to use the source code and ARC.TTP on UTL.392 to dearchive the files. CHAOS CALC 2 - A rather fast Mandelbrot generator. This one lets you zoom almost into infinity. Although CC2 is powerful as it stands, registered users get a number of extras. The program is GEM based and the instructions are very straightforward. FUJIBOOT PRO - Displays the Atari logo when you boot up, just like TOS 2.06 upwards. OFFCOLOUR - Changes the display back to the standard Desktop colours. Useful when run after programs which mess up the palette. THERMOBOOT - Allows you to perform a warm or cold boot at the click of the mouse. MR MENU 2 - A program launcher which allows you to execute up to six programs using a simple click of the mouse. What makes MR MENU unique is that it will change resolution to suit the program eg; you can run your word processor in medium res, followed by your art program in low res without re-booting. You can also swap the screen display from 50hz to 60hz if your TV or monitor can handle this. MR MENU 3 - almost identical to Mr Menu 2 but with support for up to 22 programs. In addition, Mr Menu 3 gives various statistics on the number of menu items, the selected resolution, amount of free memory and so on. You can also have a short description of the program displayed on the menu too. Each time you quit a program, you will always be returned to Mr Menu. M-BASE - A database specifically designed to help you manage your collection of music tapes, records or CDs. It has preset fields for the group, title and format (CD, video etc) as well as a user definable number of fields for the tracks on the media (5 to 21). The database can be searched and reports may be displayed on screen, printed out or saved to disk. PAINT V1.02 - A demo of a very basic art program aimed at young children. Unfortunately it seems that everything is disabled but you get the full version if you register. REVIEW - An ASCII file viewer. REview is ideal for reading through those doc files on disk as it lets you scroll backwards and forwards, search for text and print out selected blocks of text. It's not as full featured as RDD but then it only takes 25k of memory! WIDGIT - A password protection program. Simply place it in an Auto folder and you will be prompted for a password each time you boot up. Most useful on a hard drive for obvious reasons! You can change the password at any time, but if you get it wrong, your computer will reset! The password is initially set to atari. BOOM V1.05 - A simple two player game in which you can set the angle and speed of a missle to be fired at your opponent. You get one go each, then it's onto the next round. ST PAGE V1.36 - A text editor packed with features. In order to use it, you'll have to hold down the CONTROL key and use the arrow keys to move through the menus. Luckily the first menu contains the Help option (there's no doc supplied!). There are also a few unfinished programs on the disk and the GFA sources for these is included so that you can finish them off yourself! QUARTET MUSIC FILES - A collection of excellent music files created with Microdeal's Quartet. Several tunes are original compositions by Dave Jones, whose player is also on disk. Files are AX, BOB_P, BRIDGE, DEFENDER, DYERMAKR, GRACEVAL, HIT, MAGICFLY, METAL_MS, SPARKY83, TENNIS, WAVE, WISEGUY. If you have a Falcon, select the Yamaha output or you won't hear anything! CHRONOS - A demo version of a 3D key frame animation program from Lexicor. Fully functional except that Save and Export are disabled. ICONDEMO - A CPX for use with XControl on UTL.391 for designing your own icons for use with TOS v2 upwards. Save is disabled in this version. CONCERTO - The Midi sequencer from Microdeal. This version is fully useable with apart from having Save and a few other options disabled. RC AEROCHOPPER - A great demo showing off the RC Aerochopper software to its best. You can wander around the setup menus and change the parameters to suit, although they will have no effect on the demo. It alternates between aircraft and helicopter flights of no more than two minutes each. Due to the infinite choices available, you are unlikely to see the same aircraft following the same flight path unless you run the demo for several hours. The product itself consists of a combination of hardware and software. All programs on this disk will run in medium or high res, except for Concerto, which is medium res only. CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 1990 - A massive collection of useful data on no less than 249 different countries throughout the world. Each entry details geographical, political, economic, military and other data for the respective country. This three disk set represents a wealth of information on the world in which we live. Highly recommended. THE MILITARY AVIATION COLLECTION by The Golden Otter - A collection of over 80 scanned line drawings of the world's most prestigious military aircrafts. A scoop for everyone who has an interest in aviation. All files are in IMG format and are intended for use within a Desktop Publishing program. A Floppyshop exclusive. IMPLOID V2.04 - An archiver shell for use with the Gemini replacement Desktop or any other such as Thing which uses the AV protocol. It supports the use of ZIP ZOO ARC ARJ LHZ and UUencode/UUdecode archivers although these are not included on disk. Imploid runs as an ACC and you simply open its window and drop the appropriate archive into it. Double-click inside the window for full range of options. Unfortunately the program s in German but simple to work out and there s no docs. Invaluable if you are using Gemini or Thing. FIRECALL V0.70 by Christian Andersson - Another program with the same function as Paul Lyon s CallerID above . This one is better presented but currently unfinished. Both are very similar in functionality. System requirements same as above. MEGASTICK by Fabrice Vend - 1st Guide files showing how make an adaptor which will allow four ordinary joysticks to be used in the extended joystick ports on the STE and Falcon. There s also GFA C and Assembler code designed to allow you to use the four joysticks via this adaptor in your own four player games. Docs in both English and French includes well drawn diagrams. FLOPSPEED by Ludovic Hirlimann - Halves floppy disk access times by switching off the verify flag. Requires a Cookie Jar to be installed so TOS 1.6 upwards or use with programs on UTL.5340 . NEODESK 003 PATCH - This patches release 002 of NeoDesk 4 i.e. v4.01 to version 003 v4.02 . It requires that you have an original of NeoDesk 4 release 002 otherwise it is of no use to you.

MPEG 2 AUDIO PLAYER V0.7 by Frederik Noring - Replays almost any MPEG 2 layer 2 44.1 khz stereo audio frame in real time using the DSP. What this means in simple terms is that it plays the audio portion of MPEG movies with no noticeable slowdown or loss of quality. It even detects an external clock signal if one is available and uses that to give higher quality output. Now GEM based running as an ACC or PRG and multi-tasking friendly. A collection of 33 songs created using Electronic Arts Music Construction Set. Includes a public domain player program so you can listen to tunes even if you don't have the Music Construction Set. Tunes are played under interrupt so it may be possible to incorporate them into your own programs. The Cor Blimey Megademo by Storm - Features 13 excellent sub demos all written in STOS! Needs a joystick to operate the main menu. Not STE. 3D BUTTON - Gives a 3D look to windows, alert boxes, dialog boxes and buttons when using MINT (or early versions of Multi-TOS). Later versions of Multi-TOS have this feature built-in. ARTIFICIAL WIERDNESS v5.0 by George Pope - Simply feed it with a large text file and it will regurgitate it in a rather humorous fashion. You'll split your sides with this one! The more serious the text file is, the funnier it comes out. BFRDBU V1.0 - Backs up the bootsector, FATs and root directory of your hard drive partitions to a file on any drive. These can then be restored if anything goes wrong. This program can be run from an Auto folder to ensure that backups are made every time you boot your computer.

The entire contents of the ramdisk can be saved back to floppy if so desired. WORKSUPDT - A bug fix for the spell checker/thesaurus in the American version of Atari Works, which caused problems on TOS v1.2. TABLE MAKER V2.56 by J Creasey - Allows you to design and lay out tables for displaying statistical data or such like. You can enter text, numbers, 3D effects and different borders.

ST Diary features on-line help and automatically copes with leap years. Mono only, needs 1 Meg. RINOU DOCUMENT DISPLAYER & EDITOR v2.01 - Allows you to create your own rather slick looking disk based letters. The displayer shows a menu with each item pointing to an ASCII file on disk. In theory, this means that you could easily write a long document, organise it into chapters and have the menu serve as a contents page. Within the displayer, you can page backwards and forwards, search for phrases, change the colour of the text, switch the music on or off and so on. Displayer by The Conceptors, editor shell by BSM. NAUDIO by Mulle KybernetiK - Evaluation copy (some missing files and a slow down 'feature') of a sample/module replay library for use with Pure C (could probably be adapted to work with Lattice C too).

Contestants take turns to move their figures across the board trying to get as many men to the exit as possible. You begin with a number of soldiers under your command and can move each one only one square at a time.

FALCON UPDATE 7 by The Falcon Owners Group - A cram packed issue with 66 articles amounting to over 770K of text alone Material covered is fairly diverse being mostly Falcon orientated but with some coverage of the Jaguar scene and a section on sci-fi literature. Press releases detail the release or upgrade of the following products - Falcon030 ToolKit Towers II ExtenDOS Pro Straight FAX 2 ScreenBlaster II and Hard Soft s Processor Acclerator and Resolution Booster. Stuart Denman kicks off with part 1 of his Speed Of Light tutorial and Atari comment on the release of Falcon games by 16/32 Systems.

DETONATORS by DNS - Starts off with various spinning 3D wireframe objects which reflect onto and pass through water. Some even appear to "dance" to the music. This is followed by various rather clever, highly graphical scrollers. It ends with a picture of the programmer's Desktop! Excellent music plays throughout. HACMAN 2 - A followup to Hacman, a Pacman type game with added extras and a large number of screens. A very good implementation of this type of game. Will appeal to all Pacman fans. Needs 1 Meg. MPEG FEVER V1.0 by Laurent Chaussy - A collection of utilities for analysing and creating MPEG animations, all held together in a nice friendly GEM based shell. MPEG is the animator's equivalent of JPEG. It is a lossy compression method but first generation MPEGs are usually of a high enough quality to deceive the human eye into thinking that they are the same as the original. The loss in quality is offset by the fact that files are typically compressed to around 10% or less of their original size. MPEG Fever allows you to create your own MPEGs from a set of sequentially numbered TGA files (other more obscure formats are also supported) or extract the individual frames from an existing MPEG animation. You can also extract specified sections of the animation to its own MPEG file or join two animations together. A large amount of analysis of MPEGs is also supported for the technically minded. All other functions are fully operational. In order to fit everything on the disk, this version contains the 68000 version of MPEG Fever only. If you have a TT or Falcon, order F.5470 instead. Needs at least 1 Mb, more for processing large files. Needs to be run in ST high resolution or better. Although you can work on MPEG files in mono, you cannot view the animations on an ST unless you have a graphics card. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for translating everything into English.

GER2EN v1.6 - An automatic translator for German text files (results somewhat iffy!). STRANSLATE - A dictionary system for translating German to English. More sophisticated than GER2EN, but you have to do more work. E605 by Light - A great demo which is well worth having. It starts off with a 'flight' over a plotted landscape, then goes to a massive bouncing globe on a no border screen. 3D bobs make an appearance but what makes them different is their link into wireframe 3D objects, some of which are quite complex. A selection of solid 3D vector objects also make an appearance. STE ONLY. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 2 - Contains the following fonts - BOSTON BROADCAST BROODMOOR BROADMOOR ENG BRONSKI BRONSKI ITALIC BRONSKI BOLD BRONSKI BOLD ITALIC BROS SCRIPT BULLETS CAROLA CASTAGENA SCRIPT CENTIME OLD STYLE CENTIME OLD STYLE ITALIC CENTIME OLD STYLE BOLD CALZONE CALZONE ITALIC CALZONE BOLD CALZONE BOLD ITALIC CALZONE ANTIQUE CALZONE ANTIQUE ITALIC CALZONE OPEN FACE CHARLESTON CHARLESTON BOLD CHERRY CHOPPER CHOPPER BOLD.

EASYDAT v1.2 - A fast easy to use GEM based database which runs in all Falcon resolutions. It holds as much of the data file in memory as possible thus speeding up search times dramatically. The program is in English but the docs are German. We ve run them through a quick translation to give you an idea how to get started. MONOFIX - Fixes the problem where some older programs refuse to run on the Falcon saying that they only run in high res even when you have an SM124/5 monitor connected. POVSHELL V2.2 by Rac me Production - A nice easy to use GEM based shell which passes all the necessary parameters to POV Raytrace bypassing the need to use a CLI. TOCANTE - An ACC which displays a large digital clock in a moveable GEM window which can be positioned on screen to suit. Includes source code in C and GFA Basic.

ZX SPX V2.07 by Christian Gandler - A ZX Spectrum emulator for the Falcon. It seems like a silly thing to do but is works In fact some programs run faster under emulation than they did on the original Spectrum. Simply run the INSTALL.PRG and the complete system about 1.2 Meg s worth will be installed to the path of your choice. As well as the main emulator program there s countless utilities which can all be integrated using the supplied shell. Several different modes of emulation are possible by choosing the settings which best suit individual programs. The joystick interface is emulated supporting all four types of joystick. The notorious microdrive cartridges are emulated too Printer output is redirected to the parallel or serial port you choose so that you can get printouts from Spectrum programs. This emulator also supports the snapshot files used by Amiga and PC Spectrum emulators. You will need to have access to a real Spectrum with an interface 1 if you want to transfer more programs across. The documentation is excellent and runs to about 90k A number of Spectrum programs are also included on disk. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3.

QED V4.10 by Christian Felsch - A very powerful text editor from Germany. It has its own Desktop and looks reminiscent of Tempus. QED is fast GEM based and supports the calling of external programs allowing you to make link compile and run your own source code via any SE compatible shell. It supports the use of any loaded font rather than the System font if Speedo GDOS or NVDI v3 or later is installed and prints using 1st Wordplus printer drivers so there should be no problem finding a driver to suit. Like Everest it supports the use of kurzels shortcuts for commonly used words and phrases keyboard shortcuts and the GEM Clipboard. A macro recorder is built in. Supports the following protocols VA_START AP_TERM AC_HELP SH_WDRAW SC_CHANGED DRAG DROP OLGA and SE and supports the use of long filenames on systems offering this feature . Program in English and German but docs in ST-Guide format only partially translated. MOONGAMES X LOADER by Daniel Fischer - An alternative loader for MoonGames which allows you to increase your credits to any amount and save up to 8 games which can then be resumed by selecting them from a menu. MULTI-SAVER V1.00 by Graham Jarvis Ben Allfree - A multi-media screen saver. It lets you play a MOD file and display an MPEG animation after a specified period of inactivity to prevent monitor burn-in. It works in conjunction with Paula and Play MPEG although you can use any MPEG player both of which are included. All you need are the MOD and MPG files of your choice check out our SOUND and ENT_DEMO sections in the catalogue for a selection of both . You can set the idle time which peripherals to monitor for activity and by listing several MPEGs and MODs get a random selection each time Multi-Saver runs. Just one catch it needs to be run on a multi- tasking OS Multi-TOS Geneva MagiC etc . NOTES v2 by Dominique B r ziat - A handy utility which lets you create notes which can be pasted onto the Desktop as reminders. Performs an identical function to the Memo Pad in Ease and Stickies on the Macintosh. If Speedo GDOS is loaded you can use any installed font for your notes. All in French but use is obvious. Must be run under Multi-TOS MagiC or Geneva. RGBVGA v2 by Ivan Dimbleby - Allows you to automatically boot up with a different NEWDESK.INF to suit your monitor type. Useful if you have RGB and VGA monitors and regularly swap between them. RGBVGA checks the monitor type and loads the correct INFALC. FRANGLAIS 4 - A continuation of the easy way to learn French (needs Franglais 1, 2 & 3 if you are new to the language). Fr_4 handles 2nd & 3rd conjugation verbs (ir & re endings), the verb to go, extended counting, use of prepositions when going places and telling the time. It features inputs, interesting graphics and a lot of fun while learning towards GCSE level, using a mixture of English and French. GRAPHICS WITH MATHS - If you own any of Evelyn Mills' programs you will have noted the regularity of some unusual graphics from time to time (e.g. in the Franglais series). This program (Part 1 of a 3 part series) shows these graphics and describes their creation in Fast Basic. A complete listing of the program is available in an ASCII file to allow programmers to incorporate any of the creations into their own programs. Ideal for STOS/GFA programmers as the Basic has been kept at a fundamental level suitable for conversion. GALACTIC RANGER - A shoot 'em up. SLALOM EVENT - A skiing game. WINDOW MAKER - Manoeuvre your vehicle up the sheer face of a cliff against a time limit. TRIPLE YAHTZE DELUXE - the best of many versions of this game in PD. All these games were written in GFA Basic. ST VEGAS - An excellent combination of games here. Roulette, Poker, Black Jack or Slot Machine can be selected from the menu screen. All four games are very well designed and will give hours of fun. The slot machine will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg. MANIAX - Using the joystick you move an object around a large square leaving a trail behind you. As you block off sections of the square, portions of a picture are revealed. However, moving objects and monsters will try to halt your progress. If they hit your trail as you are moving, you lose a life. There are some great pictures of various cities around the world. A well presented and very addictive game. STONERAIDER - A boulderdash type game. You play the part of Rockman, who must collect gems from beneath the earth, but avoid the falling rocks. On each level, a certain number of gems must be collected before a door opens, leading to the next level. All of this is against a time limit. Bonuses are obtained for clearing a level but as you progress, things get much trickier. INVESTIGATION 2 by David Weekes - The followup to the game on GAM.4171C & GAM.47172C. Denim Top Dave returns for another Sierra- On-Line type graphical adventure in which he tries to thwart the plans of the infamous Wellard & Co. Following on from the original game in which Dave seized the disk containing Wellard's deadly virus and saved the day, Wellard have devised a new high tech plan for world domination. As Dave it's your job to fly of to the Spanish island where Wellard have set up their new base and destroy their latest weapon, codenamed N.E.T., before they unleash it un an unsuspecting world. A great strategic based adventure with around 60 graphic locations to visit, 1000 points to collect and lots to do with plenty of challenges to get your head round. Doesn't run on machines with more than 1 Mb. EASY GEM LIBRARY V1.22 by Christophe Boyanique - A collection of Pure C sources and library routines for adding a slick new futuristic looking 3D interface to your own GEM program. It supports pop-up menus, iconification of windows and everything else you would expect to see in a modern interface. Easy GEM was used in the production of BITMAP VIEW 3, POVSHELL 2 and other recent releases by Raceme Production and now they have released the complete sources under the GNU Public Licence. Easy GEM is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems. It is also fully compatible with SpeedoGDOS and all its predecessors. A small demo of a typical application is included. It allows you to load up the Help files which form the documentation for the library. The Help feature works on a hypertext type basis and is another feature which can be incorporated into your own code. The demo (including the Help files) is bilingual and can be set to English or French. DESKTRACKER v1.30 - An accessory for playing Protracker modules in the background on the ST, STE, TT and Falcon. It also runs as an application under MultiTos. DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSOR by K Lord - Creates filters for use with audio samples, eg; to cut out low frequency rumble or high frequency hiss. With PLAY.PRG in the same folder, samples may be loaded, filtered and replayed via Hippo or Replay hardware or through the monitor. HARD DRIVE RECORDING KIT by Dan Hollis - Lets you use your sampling cartridge and hard drive for recording (actually floppies work as well), i.e. sample length is limited by disk space rather than RAM. Sampling frequency is fixed at 20 kHz and output to Replay 4 only. I cannot say whether it will work on other Replay samplers, but it certainly does NOT work with Replay 16. LONGPLAY by Michael Hodgkinson - An STE sample player which reads continuously from disk. As it's playing one sample, it loads the next. This allows lengthy samples to be played back on small memory machines. An editing program allows you to accurately splice the samples together. Longplay uses AVR format samples and runs at 6.25 Khz. STE only, Needs 1 Meg. PT PLAYER by Petri Kuittinen - Plays Noisetracker and Protracker MODs on all ST's in any resolutions. Although not tested on TT and Falcon, it should work on these computers too. QD PLAY by Dave Baggett - A utility to play 8-bit samples. Copy the PLAY.PRG to your Auto folder so that samples play samples on boot- up, via STE, Hippo or Replay. Command lines are easily created using a text editor. SOUND PLAY - A DMA sample player by Richard Kurz. Plays at various rates, up to 50 kHz in mono and stereo 8-bit and 16-bit stereo (Falcon).

GAME CONCEPT by The Conceptors - This latest offering from the authors of Intro Concept and Picture Concept is a compendium of well known board games. Choose from Solitaire, Towers of Hanoi or Connect 4. Some of the instructions are in French, but as the games are all fairly well known this should not cause too many problems. PLOP - A board game played on a grid of squares. You must place your counter on a square and as more counters are added to each square they eventually pop and scatter counters onto adjoining squares. The game ends when one of the two playing colours is completely removed from the board. SPACEWAR v1.31 - A two player game, the object of which is to control a little spaceship with the joystick and try to destroy your enemy with a torpedo. A central sun has variable gravity which affects your chances of success. This a re-write of an old game with vastly improved graphics and gameplay. It makes use of DMA sound on the STE, TT and Falcon. SQUISH - Can you squash the bouncers before they squash you. You control a character who is being bombarded from above by bouncing enemies. By timing your own jumps right, you can flatten your enemies before they get you. Blocks can be moved and platforms used as safe havens to help you progress. Numerous levels are included. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FRHND___, FRK, FRKF_LT, FRKGOLFT, FRKHEV, FRNKSTNN, FRTZQUAD, FUJI2I, FUJI2N, FUJIB, FUJIBLKN, FUJIBOLI, FUJIBOLN, FUND-RUN, FUNDLEFT, FUNDRUNK, FUNDRUNO. The Run Demo.

MIDI ZAP - An Asteroid style shoot 'em up game where a number of ST's can be linked together in a multi-player game, although a single player option is also avaliable. For a multi-player game, machines are linked via the MIDI ports. You can also have a co-pilot, in which case another ST or a PC, is connected via the RS232 port. The software required for the PC co- pilot is also on disk. As in the classic asteroids game, you fly around the screen avoiding the asteroids and, in multi-player format, shooting or teaming up with your opponents. Medium or High Res.

Clip Art in PCX format (CARTOONS) as used by Pagestream 2.1 and the IBM PC. Files are ARROW, CART002-CART019, CART021-CART035, CARTP1, USMAP1. IMAGELAB 2.1 by Rainer Fr drich - A Freeware greyscale image processing package with a few nice touches. Features include scaling contrast/brightness adjust linear distribution equal distribution median filter dilation erosion edge enhancement and the ability to display any of an image s 8 bitplanes. An invaluable feature is the ability to design your own filters and over 20 of these are supplied on disk. A number of greyscale adjustment filters are also supplied. Blocks may be cut and pasted between images and two images can be merged together to create some interesting effects. The ability to convert mono IMGs into true greyscale images is most helpful for those of you who do not have greyscale scanners. Imagelab is restricted to loading its own B_W format AIM format or uncompressed IFFs but external conversion utilities allow GIF TIFF Degas and IMG format to be converted to B_W and vice versa. Although the program runs in mono all work is actually performed in 256 greyscale mode. Use GEM- View 3 ART.3485 to convert B_W to more useful formats. Fully GEMmed and Multi-TOS compatible. Program and short introduction in English but main docs in German although we have done a rough translation. DL VIEWER V0.01B by Lonny Pursell - Plays DL animations from the PC. These are commonly found on CD-ROMs so you ll find this program invaluable if you own one of those beasties . AVI_PLAY v0.95 by Dieter Fiebelkorn - A collection of programs designed to play those AVI animations commonly found on PC CD-ROMs. There are optimised versions for the 020 upwards and machines with an FPU. RIFFSHOW by Dieter Fiebelkorn - Runs PC animations in RIFF format on your Falcon.

DEGAVIEW V1.0 by Graeme Urquhart - Displays any Degas PI1 PI2 or PI3 picture on your Falcon. You can use it as a TTP drop files onto it to display them or install it as an application so that Degas files may be viewed by double-clicking them. Files may be packed using Pack Ice v2.4 or Atomic 3.5. 3DX VIEWER - Allows you to convert 3D2 files from Cad 3D and Cybersculpt into a new format for realtime rotating and scaling using the DSP. A full description of the new format is supplied for the curious. You can then view the 3D objects in dot wireframe or solid form. The view can be changed and the object rotated and scaled using the mouse. Needs 4 Meg to convert larger files. CLICKIES Nov 95 by Douglas Little - A collection of file viewers for FLI FLC and FLX animations and both TGA and GIF pictures. In the case of the TGA and GIF viewers large images are automatically scaled to the maximum supported resolution for your monitor. There s also a MOD file player which plays soundtracker MODs at 50khz. All viewers/players work by dropping the appropriate file onto them as a TTP or they can be installed as applications so that files just need to be double-clicked in order to view/play them. JPG68000 by Andrew Younger - A CPX for use with XControl FALC.4862 which allows you to compress and decompress JPEG images using various options. SPEED OF SNAIL by Brain Blaster Metal Ages Nucleus Sinus - Rather a silly name for such a powerful program S-O-S is a VERY fast GIF viewer. It load and displays massive GIFs from hard disk in mere seconds. Press the left mouse button to zoom in on a selected area or the right to zoom out. Rescaling is done in a split second regardless of size Impressive to say the least. S-O-S is RGB ONLY. ARJ_BETA 9.97A by The TOS Crew - This is possibly the first ST implementation of the ARJ compressing system and is currently being updated and modified with a user interface promised soon. Much work has and is being done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive documentation is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of UNARJ. Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and running either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and LHARC etc. COMPRESS V1.4 by Jens-Peter Haack - Similar to the Unix(1) compressor but much easier to use. The GEM file selector is called up and the file to be compressed is selected. Typical compression ratios are - Text 60%, Degas files 70% to 90% and PRG files 30 to 50%. Unfortunately the docs are in German. H PACK by Martin Braschler - A cut down version of the original program H PACK as used on other platforms called H PACK LITE. It uses simple basic commands eg; add-extract-test etc; from a TTP command line. Two versions are provided, one for 68000 processors and another for the 68030. This is a stand alone programe and does not require you to configure any other compressor. PACK_IT V1.40 by Manfred Ssykor -Searches a preset folder and then procedes to archive the contents. LHARC or STZIP are required to be present for PACK_IT to be configured. Selectable compression ratios are available from within the program.Configuration from within the program is very comprehensive but unfortunately the docs are German so you are on your own a fair bit. Needs at least 1 Meg. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are BALANCE COP EPIC GRYMG2 SARCO WASTELND NIGHT POPPED ROTODEMO STAR FREEZE CRUSADE. GILBERT by Adam Rogala - Does anyone remember Gauntlet and Rogue, or even the GEM version of Nethack? Well this is another game in that genre. It's a top down game where you wander around the playing area collecting objects. The objects often have to be collected in a specific order and you get a few nasties along the way to hamper your progress. The number keys at the top of the keyboard (and perhaps others as well) control your character and 7 levels are included. There are no instructions and it called a "demo" so it looks as if something bigger is on its way. THRUST V0.5 by Alexander Kirchner - How many of you remember Thrust on the C64, Spectrum and others? This is the ST version and it runs in a GEM window. For those unfamiliar with the original, you control the spacecraft in a similar manner to that in the game Asteroids (except there are no asteroids!) and must avoid crashing or being hit by enemy fire. The goal appears to be to destroy the other spacecrafts and find a ball located somewhere within the level. Reaching the ball results in completion of the level. Only one level is supplied but you can make up more using any monochrome graphics package and a text editor. Instructions in German but we've done a RUF translation. WHIPPER SNAPPER'S RACE by New Design - Guide a skier down a treacherous ski-slope. Sounds easy but it takes many twists and turns and there are lots of objects to collide with. This is a single level demo, the full game has multiple levels and several added extras. Looks like a modern day version of Horace Goes Skiing! MR DASH by Paul Dehli - A Boulderdash clone from Germany. As well as having to collect all the diamonds within a time limit and dodge the falling diamonds, there are awkwardly shaped walls which hinder your progress. The game is very fast moving and it's VERY difficult to complete the level within the allocated time. LIGHT OUT by Andrew Irvine - The ST version of the popular game Lights Out. The aim is to switch off all the lights on a 5x5 grid. The only problem is that every time you switch a light on or off, you affect the status of four adjacent lights. Even with just six levels, it presents a formidable challenge. MISCELLANEOUS NOVELS - A collection of out of copyright texts by various authors. KEEPSAKE STORIES by Sir Walter Scott SECOND VIOLIN by Katherine Mansfield THE MARVELLOUS LAND OF OZ by L Frank Baum this is the followup to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz TARZAN OF THE APES by Edgar Rice Burroughs and THE RETURN OF TARZAN by Edgar Rice Burroughs. WARP Issue 4 - Despite the doubts expressed by Keefy, Warp 4 has arrived! This issue's menu is similar to the first in that you use the cursors to select various planets, each representing an article. The articles themselves are a veritable fountain of interviews and stories, with something for everyone. As usual, there's news on forthcoming Star Trek projects, films and conventions, some readers' letters and replies to a poll from last issue. There's a competition to win a video tape donated by a reader, info on how to get autographs and submit scripts, plus a report of Keefy's first trip to a convention. The interviews feature Kate Mulgrew and Patrick Stewart (amongst others), whilst the stories include part one of a Doctor Who/Star Trek mix, the continuing sagas Super Dreadnought and Darkest Days, plus much more. 40 articles in total! Star Trek fans, miss this at your peril. Needs 1 Mb, sorry but there was no room for a file depacker this month! 18 Calamus Fonts . Fonts are ARC 10 ITALIC, ARC 10 ITALIC TAB, ARC 10 TAB, ARC 25 ITALIC, ARC 25 ITALIC TAB, ARC 25 TAB, ARC 75, ARC 75 ITALIC, ARC 75 ITALIC TAB, ARC 75 TAB, ARC 90 ITALIC, ARC 90 ITALIC TAB, ARC 90 TAB, BISON COND, REFLEX, URW ROMAN, SCHREIB, GILES K. MEMORY RECALL - An educational game by Martin Cubitt, suitable for both children and adults. You are presented with 20 boxes on the screen, and an item is hidden in each box. The correct item must be found when it is asked for. There are five levels of difficulty and, depending on which is chosen, a different number of boxes have their contents revealed at the beginning of the game. Points are awarded depending on the level of difficulty and the time taken to find the correct item. Good use of sampled sounds and speech are made throughout the game. Needs 1 Mb. PAINTPOT by Switchsoft - Originally a commercial release, now re- released as Shareware. It runs in all 3 resolutions and loads and saves in Degas format. Features include object create, pie/barchart create, text import plus all the usual drawing and painting tools. It also has a very unusual RGB colour edit operation. Online help is available to guide you through the program's features. IMG files can be loaded if running in high res. It will also attempt to load any picture file it's not sure of (very hit and miss). THE BOURNEMOUTH POSTSCRIPT COLLECTION DISK 15 - Contains the following Old Display fonts: BENJAMIN, BENJAMIN CAPS (2 variants), BODIDLY CONDENSED ITALIC, BODIDLY CONDENSED, BODIDLY BOLD, COOPER BLACK, COOPER BLACK ITALIC, HARQUIL, HOBO, HORSTCAPS, MAZAMA, MAZAMA PLAIN, MEDUSA, NOUVEAU, PARIS METRO, PLAYBILL, TOULOUSE LAUTREC, WINDSOR DEMI and Miscellaneous Fonts:- CODE39, CARRICK CAPS. FREEDOM V1.15E by Christian Krueger and Kolja Koischwitz - This revolutionary program is primarily intended as a replacement file selector but is in reality much more! It is non-modal which means that you can have up to eight file selectors open at once. It supports long file names (on file systems which use this feature), Multi-TOS drag & drop protocol, multiple file selection, up to 40 user definable paths, keyboard shortcuts, pop-up menus, Unix masks and extension lists, AV protocol, file searching and much more. It puts all Alert boxes into moveable windows (thus replacing the need for Multidialog or Let Em Fly), has a left handed mode and lets you change the font and colour used for the directory window. You can also copy, delete, touch or move files. A history popup displays the last 40 accessed files (and lets you go directly to their directories). Freedom fully supports all the standards set forth by Selectric (and implements them in a compatible fashion) but surpasses it by way of extra features. Whats more, it employs the use of parallel processing which means that you can perform a task (such as file searching) while several others are running in the background. Probably the best file selector on any computer! Top quality Shareware with a comprehensive English manual. PROBE HOUSE EXPENSE MANAGER V3.2B by William Wong - A home accounts package which supports up to 60 different accounts, each of which can have up to 60 categories allocated to it. Detailed reports may be generated with the program and these can be viewed on screen, printed or saved to disk. Pie charts and bar graphs may also be generated from your data (which can be imported or exported as ASCII). Budget reports can be compiled for each month, showing just how much you have underspent or more likely overspent. Everything is housed in movable GEM windows and on-line Help is available in ST Guide (UTL.5557) format. Please note that printout is only supported if (Speedo)GDOS is installed.

THE BIRDY DEMO by Brainstorm - The first true colour animation on the Falcon An unbelievable animation of a roadrunner type bird walking alongside a fence. Watch it turn and twist its head watch objects fly past and of course the shadow folows the bird s movement faithfully. A real classic if ever I saw one THE CEBIT 93 DEMO by Twid - A demo coded in a week for the CeBit 93 in Hanover. Hands up if you remember TEX Well they re back but this time it s on the Falcon They have teamed up with The Lost Boys The Respectables ULM and McFly to form a new group called Twid and this is their first Falcon demo. It starts up with a title screen displaying a 3D mountain landscape. You then get some realtime rotated and scaled letters and a 25Mhz soundtrack. The scroller but not for what it says Both demos need 4 Meg. The CEBIT DEMO will NOT run on a VGA monitor. The Megabang demo from The Lost Boys . On screen animation and special effects trick the eye into visualising a 3D effect. THE GNOOGUNOGUMBAR DEMO by The Radioactive Hedgehogs - An impressive 11 part mega demo written in STOS. Once again, you'd never know it was written in STOS! Don't access the squibbly screen until last. You'll know why if you try to! ICFS.CPX V1.13 by John McLoud - A CPX for use with Xcontrol on UTL.3879. It gives you control over a number of user-customisable settings available with Dirk Haun's Iconify File Server. When working with iconified windows, it lets you specify the start corner (usually bottom left), direction (stack horizontally or vertically), icon size, distance between icons and more. Please note this CPX is of no use without the corresponding Auto folder program from Dirk Haun's ICFS package (on UTL.5163). INTERACTIVE ORDER FORM GENERATOR V1.2.0 by Matthew Bacon - A nice simple to use program which helps automate the registration of Shareware titles supported by Joe Connor's InterActive scheme. Type in your name and address, then select your computer type, OS and drive type from a pop-up menu. It's then a case of selecting the items you require by clicking them. IOFG automatically works out the total purchase price and brings up a form with all the relevant details which can be saved to disk or printed out. PARALINK 2000 by Paul Finch and Thomas Haines - An excellent program which allows you to connect two Ataris, two PCs or an Atari and a PC together for the purposes of transferring data. Although slower than copying files from one location to another on a hard drive, this method is at least twenty times faster than using a null modem to transfer the data at maximum speed on a TT or Falcon! It works by connecting the two machines using the parallel (printer) ports. All you need is a bi-directional (this is very important) male to male parallel lead which must be modified by swapping over two wires. It is also necessary if using a PC that you set it up for bi-directional communication, otherwise you will only be able to send from the PC, not receive on it. Both Atari and PC versions of the software are included. LACESCAN V3.5 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - An impressive DIY upgrade which increases the resolution of your monitor.Please note, we accept no responsibility for any damage caused to your machine by use (or misuse) of the information in this package. LaceScan increases the resolution by actually putting more pixels onto the screen. It does this by removing the border around the normal screen area. The result is a 20% increase in physical screen area. The hardware modification (which is necessary for screen border removal) is not compatible with the STe, but LaceScan can still be useful on an STe, read on....An earlier mod called OVERSCAN achieved the same purpose as LaceScan for monochrome monitors but this package also works on colour monitors and includes support for virtual screens (where the screen area is larger than that physically displayed on the monitor). This feature allows you to emulate TT medium and TT high resolutions, you can even emulate ST high res on a colour monitor and ST medium/low on a mono monitor, as well as set up your own custom screen sizes.The virtual screen resolutions will work on any ST (including the STe) without the need for the hardware modification. LaceScan is very well documented (in English) and includes a circuit diagram detailing the modification as well as the necessary software to take advantage of the new screen resolutions. It works on any ST but there may be some problems with TOS versions below 1.4. Compatible with TOS, MagiC, MiNT, NAES, Geneva, Multi-TOS and NVDI. An impressive Shareware release. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FLORAEX1, FLORAEX2, FLORAEX3, FLORAEXT, FLORAOB1, FLORAOBL, FOOD, FOOD!, FRAKTR, FRANK6. HUECKEL by Uwe Schneider - An aid to those studying molecular science. This is an application which calculates the MO vectors and MO levels of organic Pi-systems according to the Heuckel approximation. Its main purpose is to solve LEAO equations of HMO theory. The basis of the program is a diagonal Heuckel matrix as proposed by Givens and Householder. ST TURING by Steven McClure - Represents a two dimensional turing machine which uses the screen as the 'tape' for the program. Not much by way of instructions, so you really need to know what you're doing with this one. Includes C source. GRANDMA'S COLOURED QUILT - A colour recognition game for pre-school children. It just prints the name of a colour (in the appropriate coloured lettering) and the child has to click onto all squares on the grid containing that colour. As his ability increases, you can have the colour name written in black and white. Colour ONLY. WIZPAK by Great Dane Software - This is an odd one. It sort of borders between artificial intelligence, OCR and a game! It is intended as a simplified introduction to artificial intelligence systems and image recognition systems. WizPack consists of two programs, the first is an image recognition system. You draw the letters of the alphabet on screen and teach the program which image belongs to which letter. It is then possible for the program to recognise letters even when drawn in a slightly different manner or at a completely different size. The second program is a two player game in which each player draws five images (or letters) when their opponent is not looking, and they have to try draw the same image as their opponent did. As soon as it looks vaguely like the image, the program reveals the name of the image by way of a clue. Both programs are Shareware and registered users get improved versions. Very well documented. Colour ONLY. TRUE PAINT by HiSoft - This was the first art package capable of running in true colour. It seems to support the largest amount of file formats of those on this disk. However, the demo only loads JPEG and TPI formats. There are very few tools but the package is simple to use. Speedo GDOS and Multi-TOS are supported. Apart from not saving, this version is identical to the full version. JIGSAW by The Dolphin Group - This is a computer adaptation of a traditional jigsaw puzzle. Simply scroll through the pieces on the demo puzzle, select them and position them on the board. You can view your progress on the full puzzle at any time. This demo comes with just one puzzle and has numerous options disabled. The full version lets you load up different puzzles, save unfinished puzzles for resumption at a later date, rotate pieces and so on. Great fun. IMAGECOPY 3 from The ST Club - This is the demo of the followup to the highly renowned Imagecopy 2. It lets you grab screens from within another program and save them to disk. It also converts between IMG, Degas, GIF, TIF, PCX, IFF, Prism Paint, True Paint, TGA, BMP and others. A comprehensive list of printers is supported, including colour ones. You cannot save with this version and program information is stamped across printouts. DESK MANAGER - Another boot configuration program in a similar vein to Superboot and XBoot. This Shareware demo only runs from Drive A and a number of the most useful options have been disabled. Certainly worth a look. Synthworks is a program designed to help you get the most out of your Midi keyboard . It has extensive editing features which vary from one version of the program to another. Synthworks is keyboard specific and is available for the following keyboards:- Roland D10/D20/D110/MT32 VANTERM v4.0 - A GEM based communications package written by Vanguard Datasystems. Supports XModem, YModem and ASCII transfer. Comes complete with numerous disk utilities. This program is Shareware but in many ways better than commercial products at ten times the price. It will not support Viewdata or split baud rates like 1200/75. You can run the V23 emulator which is included to allow 1200/75 transmission. Surely the easiest and best program for going on the bulletin boards. Full on-screen help can be called up if needed. As good as Uniterm (COM.09) but more user friendly. Highly recommended. Please note that you cannot download files from a BBS unless you have 1 Meg of memory. ZMDM v1.62 - A Unix style communications package which can successfully communicate with Unix based host machines. Emulates a 80*25 terminal (80*50 on high res). Supports X- Modem, Y-Modem and Z-Modem file transfer protocols. Full user manual and C source code on disk. Cannot support split baud rates. AKS by Stefan Berlitz and Frank Werninger - Another of those shoving and pushing games! You must move all the barrels to the required position in the warehouse in order to progress to the next level. As is usual, you have to be careful not to get boxed in yourself! 100 levels to complete and a level designer to create your own. One of the more challenging implementations of this type of game. In German but with brief English instructions. BALLER by Eckhard Kruse - It's the classic scenario of two armies battling it out with cannon balls firing at each other over a mountain. However, this is one of the better implementations in which you have to purchase ammunition with funds (which often run out!) from the Royal coffers. You can select the fortress type prior to commencement and quite a few other options are user definable. Can be played against the computer or a friend. All in German, but obvious. BANDWURM by Rainer Prestele - A snake type game in which the worm grows each time he eats a square. He moves continuously and your job is to change his direction so that he eats all the squares without crashing into the walls or his own tail. Survive long enough and a gap in the wall opens up to let you through to the next level. BANG! V1.10 by Mike Coupland - A Minesweeper clone where you have to uncover all the squares in a grid without setting off a bomb. When you uncover a square, the number on it reveals how many bombs are present in the adjacent squares. Just to make it interesting, you are playing against a timer and there's a Help mode, but it costs 2 seconds per usage! BUBBLE by Bob Silliker - Fill up a balloon from an oxygen cylinder. As it floats downwards you must pump jets of air at it to keep it afloat. The aim is to guide it to the other side of the screen. Easy on the lower levels, then you get various hazards creeping in! CADENZA CRIBBAGE V1.9 by Eric Bergman-Terrell - The card game brought to your computer screen. It's a two player game and you play against the computer. You take turns of being the dealer and the computer always starts. This computer version offers quite a few extras like X-Ray vision, game length and the ability to watch the computer play against itself!No attempt is made to explain the rules of Cribbage. As long as you are familiar with them, you should have no problems. BOUNCING BOUBLES by Paul Bininda - A fast action shoot 'em up. It starts up with just a few balls needing shot down. By level 7 you've got some aliens to dispose of and by level 40 there's so many on screen you don't have a clue what you're shooting at! Good fast action game. GEM CADENZA by Eric Bergman-Terrell and Robert Fischer - A GEM based version of the board game Draughts. Standard rules apply (explained in the doc). You play against the computer. Both PRG and ACC versions are supplied. The Bigeye Demo by Chris Lloyd. The followup to the Magic Eye Demo on DEM.320C. Turn down the lights and stare at the centre of the screen. Complete with digitised sound. Needs 1 Meg. ATARI SLALOM by Ralph Rudzki - Guide the 'mouse' on screen using the joystick, confused? It's an adaptation of the old skiing game where you must go round the poles in the direction indicated by the arrow. If you go round the wrong way or collide with the pole, it's back to start! A timer and 5 different routes gives it a competitive feel. JUMPING GHOST - The return of an old game from the 8-bit machines. The screen consists of a number of horizontally moving lines, all of which have a gap in them. Jump through the gap and up to the next line. Continue this until you reach the exit to the next level at the top of the screen. However, you can drop down through the gaps as well as jump up them! DOUGLAS ROCKMOOR by Gary Wheaton - The greatest ever Boulderdash now on your ST! Fantastic scrolling (50 frames a second!), sound and playability. This game is the ultimate conversion, far superior to anything yet seen on the ST, Amiga, C64 or whatever. All Rockmoor fans will at last rediscover the true magic of Boulderdash on the ST. Ten caves selectable from function keys. Hidden feature. Needs 1 Meg. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. ACCFOLDR V1.13 by Dave Murphy - Lets you load all your ACCs from a folder rather than the root directory of your boot drive. The folder must be on your boot drive but can have any name you wish and be nested if required. Unlike PANTHER, this redirect utility does only redirects during boot up or res change and does not affect copying or other operations. REDRAW by Eric Hall - An ACC which, when selected, forces an entire redraw of the Desktop and all open windows. Most Useful on a multi-tasking OS, performs the same purpose as Ease's Tidy Up option. SM195DRV V0.9 by Ralf Zimmerman - Driver which allows you to make full use of extended resolutions possible on the Atari SM195 large screen monitor with the Viking card installed. Apparently Atari's driver did not work with 68030 CPUs. Probably only of use to TT/PAK030 owners. VDESK V0.99 by Jo Even Skarstein - Performs the same virtual Desktop functions as MDESK (on UTL.6151 ) but this version only runs if N.AES is installed. XHDI TOOL V1.0 by Robert Weir - Some useful tools for those using XHDI compatible hard disk drivers such as HDDriver and CBHD. It gives info on any selected device, lets you eject or reject removable media, lock/unlock devices, park/unpark devices and reserve/free devices. A bit cryptic to use but it's a start. TASKBAR V1.2.0 by Jo Even Skarstein - A Windows 95 style Taskbar like Multistrip on UTL.6135, except this one only runs with N.AES. When used with Thomas Much's Start Me Up on UTL.5760 it gives a combined Taskbar and Start menu just like the dreaded Windows 95! ASCII VIEW V3.75 by David Seberg - An alternative to the Desktop's "Show" facility. As well as letting you scroll up and down, it also has a powerful search engine which remembers recent searches, supports keyboard shortcuts, has two scroll speeds, line/page up/down and more. HEXAID V1 - The editor program needed for creating the objects which are used by a shell program to run role-playing games. The games in question are collectively known as "Untramieled Adventures" and the first of these, Anoraks Of Doom, is on GAM.6154C & GAM.6145C. These are not mere text adventures but also make use of graphics and sound to full effect. Hexaid allows you to create your own Untramieled Adventures without requiring a knowledge of programming. The docs are extensive, running to over 20 A4 pages, more than enough to get you started. You can use the PRG from any existing Untramieled Adventure as the runner program for your own creation. Needs 1 Mb and a hard drive (or two floppies), Colour only. HEXTOOLS V2 - Each graphic in Untramieled Adventures requires 16 representations at different sizes and in different positions. These must be created using any graphics package which saves in PC1 format. Hextools lets you create the necessary files from these PC1s (several example files are supplied, text descriptions of their coordinates and the background scenery files. To sum up, Hexaid handles the adventure structure and Hextools manipulates and compresses the graphics, ready for incorporation into your adventure. Needs 1Mb, Colour only. THE REACTIVATE DEMO by Insanity - A collection of six soundtracker modules. They are played using routines by Griff's of InnerCirle. They play normally on an STFM and in stereo on a STE. You can also output to Prosound, MV16, and the various Replay cartridges. The loading screen is all the graphics you're going to get but the music is very well composed. The modules included are ABSENCE, BIRD, COMA, DOLLY, EMPTY and IMAGE. Christmas Demo by the Norwich Atari User Group . An excellent graphic animation centering on Christmas in a small town of about 100 years ago. Also features a nice seasonal soundtrack. CANDYMAN CHEAT by The Resevoir Gods - Gives you complete protection from the 'tooth fairy' in the game of the same name. MAXIDISK V2.2 by U R Anderson - A bug fixed version of Max Bohm's comopressing ramdisk. Like any other ramdisk, MaxiDisk sets aside an area of RAM for use as a much faster 'virtual drive'. It behaves exactly like a floppy, it's just about 50 times faster! MaxiDisk is reset-proof which means its contents survive a reset (but not a power down). What makes it unique is that it compresses data (as per Ice Pack, Atomik etc) as you copy data into it, allowing the ramdisk to hold about 30% more data than its size dictates. This latest revision has many bugs fixed, is more compatible with other software and now runs on all ST TOS versions. STEWART V1.05E by John McLoud - A Copland (new name for the latest OS upgrade on the Mac) emulator for MagiC? Not quite but Stewart (can you spot the obvious connection?) gives much of the look and feel of Copland to MagiC v3 or later. Here's a quick rundown of some of its features:- rounded screen corners, click anywhere on the Desktop to top the Desktop and its windows, white background in drop down menus replaced by grey, dotted divider lines in drop down menus replaced by solid ones, GEM grow & shrink boxes replaced by spin boxes, clock (digital or analog) in menubar, 3D menu text, switch off or replace the MagiC logo. This Shareware release disables itself after half an hour of use but is otherwise fully functional. Stewart requires a minimum resolution of 640x480 in 16 colours, so it's TT or Falcon only UNLESS you have a graphics card on your ST. Also, it only runs under MagiC 3 (or MagicMac) or later. NOTHING V1.0 by John McLoud - A redraw manager for use with ALICE (on UTL.5115). It intercepts iconify messages from ALICE and forces the screen to update as appropriate. In order to work correctly, it also requires STIC, the STEWART iconify manager (also on disk) and only runs under MagiC 3 or later. Docs currently in German. STIC V1.00 by John McLoud - An attempt at a universal iconify manager (although it currently works only with STEWART and NOTHING). Like ALICE, it allows windows or indeed entire applications to be iconified even when the application itself does not ordinarily support iconification. STIC scores in that it allows the iconified windows to be larger than usual and supports the use of long filenames in iconified windows. STIC only runs under MagiC 3 or later. This version is in English. START ME UP V7.00E by Thomas Much - Described as yet another reason why NOT to buy a PC! SMU effectively brings the functionality of the Windows 95 start button to your Atari! It opens a small window on screen which leads to a number of pop-up hierachical menus. These can lead to all your popular programs on your hard drive or can effectively replace the need for icons on the Desktop. No longer do you have to wade through nested folders to find a particular program. You even overcome the 'maximum number of icons on Desktop' limitation. If that's not enough, assuming your Desktop is AV compatible (Thing, Gemini, No!Desk etc), you can also open directories, copy/move/rename files and much more from within SMU. There's just one snag, SMU is intended for use with MagiC v4 (although it will work with Multi-TOS and N.AES too). STD CODES V2.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX (for use with XControl) which knows about all the new UK area dialing codes introduced in April 1995. You can type in the code to have the area displayed or vice versa. It also contains details of other non-geographic codes such as freephone, local call charge, mobile numbers and such like. There's even a facility which lets you alter the data yourself if the dialing codes ever change again! TUCSHELL by Geoff Wilson - The Ultimate Converter (on WRD.5114) is a program for converting one word processor's file format to another. This is a nice easy to use GEM based front end for use with it (the original TUC was TTP based). It allows you to specify the full pathnames of the input/output/TUC files with a few simple clicks of the mouse. THE SID CHIP MUSIC COLLECTION #2 - A collection of 167 pieces written on the Commodore 64. You will need PlaySID on MUS.5875 in order to listen to the music on this disk. Clip Art (COMIC, FLOWERS, TOOLS, VEGIES, FAIRYTALES). Files are BOYSHOE, CHIPPIE, COFFIN, CRYBABY, FISHCHIP, GONE, HELP, HUNGRY, JUDO, LION, MENTAL01, MENTAL02, MOON, OLISTAN, OLISTAN1, OLISTAN2, OLLIE, PETSHOP, POCKETMY, POLICEMN, ROBBER, SHOWERMN, SKATER, SKINT2, SNEEZE, STAN, STEAM, TASHMAN, TENNIS, CINDERS, FLOWERS, JACK, LOGGER, MATCH, SECRET, UGLIES, CARNATIO, CHRYSANT, CROCUS, DAFFODIL, DAISY, HYACINTH, PANSY, ROSE, SUNFLOWR, TULIPS, AXE, CHISLFIL, HAMMER, HNDDRILL, HOE, PICKAXE, PLANE, PLIERS, RAKE, SAW, SCISSORS, SDRIVER, SHOVEL, SPADE, SPANNER, SYTH, TROWLS, VICE, CABBAGE, CARROT, CAULI, CUCUMBER, LEEK, LETTUCE, MUSHROOM, ONION. PROGINFO v1.7 by Chris Ridd - A CPX which allows you to tamper with program header flags. You can set up Multi-TOS parameters and alternative memory settings as well as switched the fastload bit on/ofFALC. Very highly recommended. UDO V6 - An application designed to automate the conversion from UDO Universal DOcument format to ASCII ManualPage ST Guide LaTeX Pure-C Help RTF HTML and WinHelp on-line documentation formats. The idea is that you learn just one syntax that of UDO. You then run your source file through this utility to convert it into as many of the supported formats as you require thus eliminating the need to learn the command syntax for the other on-line help systems. It does work and it works well at that. It s just a shame that you can only convert from UDO rather than between any two of the supported formats. CLICK RUN v1.2 by David Reitter - The best program launcher ever You set it up so that each page contains similar type programs. The programs themselves are represented by icons similar to those used on the Desktop. It is then a case of selecting the appropriate group then the correct icon from that group. Probably the most elegant way of accessing every file on your hard drive with a couple of mouse clicks overcoming the maximum number of icons which can ordinarily be placed on the Desktop. Runs as a PRG or ACC if you have a replacement Desktop which supports the AV Protocol . Some restrictions on this unregistered version. STOSSER Issue 22 February 95 - With this issue you can feast your eyes on the upgraded Doc Displayer which now allows you to use ITG's (In Text Graphics). As usual the mag is packed with all sorts of articles and news. Kirsten and Andy investigate missing files from the ST version of Cannon Fodder, there's part 6 of the EXTRA tutorial, part 2 of the STOS STE extension tutorial, an article on what computer programming is all about, news of a new art tutorial package called Grafix, from Silly Software, STOSSER takes a stand against ST Format, there's a PD survey by Peter Kerr (a survey with a moral), Question Time gives you the chance to offer your views on STOSSER plus a chance to tell them about yourself and last but not least, Jens Hucke reports on Atari's German 'empire'!. All the old faithfuls continue with the Contacts, Adverts, Letters, Problems Solved, Competitions, Telegraph Pole, Desert Island Disk (Box), Giveaways and a whole host of other items. This diskmag remains a valuable source of information to any STOS user. PICTS TO PARLIAMENT PART 5 - The concluding epic in this excellent series which takes a humorous look at history. Emphasis is put on the great Elizabeth I of England - her foibles, her nobility and oddities of political manoeuvring. There then follows the union of Scotland and England and the part played by the various Churches involved. A summary gleefully ends with a discourse on the Long and Short Parliaments and the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliament, which were well established by this time, in the reign of Charles I. The graphics and text are as entertaining as usual. Well recommended as a complete five part series. THE SID CHIP MUSIC COLLECTION #3 - A collection of 133 pieces written on the Commodore 64. You will need PlaySID on MUS.5875 in order to listen to the music on this disk. OPERATION SPARROW HAWK - Fly your plane on a low level mission and try and knock out all the tanks. SHIT HAWKS - Blast the hawks out of the sky with your double-barrel shotgun. Avoid their dropping or you lose a life! Two excellent shoot 'em ups created with SEUCK.BATTLE FOR THE THRONE - In the kingdom of Thrania the crown has never passed down peacefully from one generation to the next. As news passes from village to village, the sons of the old king Tharn gather their troops to prepare for battle. Good luck you will need it. NETHACK - An adventure game based on the classic Dungeons & Dragons game of the same name (on GAM.152). Written by T Webb using STAC. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are BORDER22, BORDER9, BORDERA, BORDERB, BORDERS, BORDERS2, BOXES, BRIDGEW1, BRIDGEW2, BROTHER, BUBBLES, BUCK, BUCK_BLK, BULB, BULL, BULLDOG, BULLY, CLIPART2, CLIPART4, CLIPART5, STARS02. TCB Tracker modules with player program. Files are CATCHHIM EASTENDS ETUDEINA HEAVYWD HIGHFREQ LIKEBIRD SLEEPING THE_END AIR BLUEMOON CHOR FFUNERAL HOTAIR JUNGLE LIPS MOON NOW POORGHOS. DBE TRACKER v2.0 by STGhost of Sector 1 - A Shareware 32-track Soundtracker clone for the STE/TT/Falcon. It loads MOD, S3M, 669, MTM, PMD3, DTM, GTK, XM and MGM module formats and samples in SPL and AVR formats (WAV and DTM also supported in the full version). Quality depends on number of voices used, so the fewer you use, the better the quality, although you can still achieve respectable results with more than the usual 4 voices. A useful feature is its ability to load Atomik, Ice and Speed packed MODs as well as loading files directly from within LZH, ZIP or ARJ archives. This demo is pre-release and has some features (such as MIDI support and the sample editor) missing. Obviously the demo does not save MODs, although individual samples can be saved. Full version available from the author at VERY low cost. GENEVA V1.03 (RELEASE 004) DEMO by Gribnif Software - At last we have a demo version of the Geneva multi-tasking OS. Although this version (understandably) has a number of limitations imposed on its use, it does allow you to experiment with Geneva's multi-tasking capabilities within a 'real' working environment. Unlike most product demos, this one actually includes comprehensive instructions on how to get started. Well worth checking out if you're thinking of buying the full version. Geneva works best with a replacement Desktop such as NeoDesk 4, Ease or Thing (on UTL.5102). OASES (formerly OMEn) SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT v1.52 by Esquimalt Digital - The full (3 disk) version allows you to write your own OASES software or adapt your existing code to make it compatible with OASES. OASES programs written and compiled on the ST will run under OASES on the Amiga, Mac and PC without modification. The disk comprises of the full (all 12 chapters!) programmers' manual, the system equates file and some example source code. Please note that everything is in OASES format so you will require OASES on UTL.4607 in order to make use of this disk. This disk is distributed on a Shareware type basis and it is essential that developers register in order to receive continued support and ensure the further development of the system. You can purchase the registered version (which is a three disk set with lots of extras including a full assember, C compiler and Forth assembler) directly from Floppyshop. See the PRODUCTS section for more details. BUGS FROM OUTER SPACE by Impulse - A preview was shown at the Fried Bits III competition and this is the finished article winner of the NAS 96 demo section It opens with an animation of a meteorite crahing on earth followed by an equally impressive Impulse logo both raytraced. We then progress through numerous screens of solid 3D objects raytraced images animations real-time zoomers fractals and more. So you could be fooled into thinking this is just another demo. Wrong it s not what it does but how it does it An animated globe pixel precise raytracings perfectly animated pieces and a superb soundtrack. Even the credits are worth watching You can even hook it up to your Hi-Fi and pipe music from the Hi-Fi into your Falcon in place of the supplied soundtrack. Needs 4 Mb RGB ONLY. Mega Walker II Demo by Radical Systemz . As DEM.546C except that this is the full version and needs 2 Meg! V2.32 - A drawing/art program. It loads various formats like Degas, Neo etc. CHAOS - Explores the intricate patterns of Mathematical Chaos. Both programs run in med or high res. STEN #10 - It's good too see Dave Mooney and the team make it into double figures. This issue is every bit as good as the paper mags for the ST and it's PD! As usual there's lots to read and the contents include the latest on the SWSL case, a varied letters section, an interview with Bob Chewter (Radical Systemz), a full report on The Gemulator, a look at the monthly mags, a roundup of disk magazines, pascal programming, STOS programming, and a DIY hardware project. There's reviews of Imagecopy, Anarchy, Spellbound, the Turbo 30 accelerator board, the Golden Image Brush Mouse and the HP Deskjet 500. In fact STEN contains about twice as many articles as I've mentioned, it's simply too big! 53 SIGNUM FONTS for 24 pin printers . Fonts are CALLIGRAF CARELIT1 CARPICA2 CARPICA3 CASLON CELTIC CHINCK CHRISMKR CHRIST1B CIRCULUS COMOCAR COMPACTA COMPUTER COMPUTR COMPU_FT COMPU_LT COOPER_B COPTIC11 COURFE COURIELT COURLT DATA70 DATACOMP DECO DESIGN DIGITAL1 DIPLOM ECKO1 EGYPTIEN ELBISCH ELEGANCE ELFERA ENGOLA EURO_ANT EURO_GRF EXTR EXTR_HO FALSCH FLAT FONT_3 FRAKTUR1 FRAKTUR2 FRAKTURV FRANZGRF FRANZK FRANZOK FRANZORS FUT FUTUR FUTURA FUTURBIG FUTURIS FUTUR_1. ARKUS V1.00 - A font manager program for use with SpeedoGDOS, NVDI 3 and Calamus. It displays the names of fonts from Calamus, TrueType, Postscript Type 1 and SpeedoGDOS fonts. It also displays copyright information and other useful data about the fonts. If you are using NVDI 3, you can adjust the caches independently of each other and de-install loaded fonts. BATFAX - A Shareware fax program. It converts ASCII or Ist Word/Wordplus files into STraight FAX compatible files ready for transmission. Similarly, received faxes (automatic and manual receive are both supported) can be printed to Epson compatible printers or converted to text format. CDBROWSEV1.3 by Keith Lord - A Shareware program which reads CDs that use the ISO9660 or High Sierra file formats. It can display the CD's volume descriptor information (such information as the CDs author, publisher, creation date, copyright info, etc) as well as its directory structure. CD Browse can also display text files from the CD. It is NOT a CD-ROM Driver and does not integrate your CD into the Atari file system! However, it does allow you to poke around your CDs and see whats there. CD BROWSE does not use any SCSI-2 commands,so it should work with most CD-ROM drives. The program also requires an ICD host adaptor (it probaly won't work with early ST host adaptors). CDBROWSE.PRG does NOT require MultiTOS or any other form of CD-ROM driver software. CLAC V1.1 by Eero Tamminen - An expression evaluating program (ie.calculator) which has some functions rarely found in any other calculator. CLAC is composed of two internally separate components. The user interface (=UI) gets the expressions and takes care of the variables and output, whereas the 'expression engine' calculates the expression strings given to it by UI. Some of the advantages of CLAC are - The expression engine is OS independent as it includes only ANSI C. There can be several different UI's. The current text interface is also OS independent. More complex expressions can be evaluated without making the program exessively complex, thus easing up the debugging and addition of new features. OBSERVER V2.00 by Terry King - An excellent document displayer with extensive features such as 3D menus, extensive printing controls, powerful wildcard and joker searching, compatibility with UN*X documents, four fonts, colour control and built in picture displayer. Observer works in all three resolutions and you can save your preferences. The Observer is intended to be used as an installed application on a hard disk that will load documents automatically when selected but can also be used with floppy drives. THE OBSERVER MENU SYSTEM (TOMS) v2.0 by Terry King - An excellent shell for the Observer Document Displayer. It runs in medium or high res and allows you to create your own menus, where each menu item has a text file associated with it, which loads when that item is selected. This makes the program ideal for your own uses, such as creating a catalogue of your disks, records, CDs etc. TOMS uses an external DAT file to set up the menu and runtime so no re-compiling of the program is needed.

The cream of the crop takes Sanity s Termfin even further It features numerous pictures on screens zooming in and out and changing into other pictures. Various plasma effects make an appearance too. Plastic Dreams has a stereo soundtrack throughout. Plastic Dreams and Boinkfal are RGB/TV only. The Morphing Demo is RGB/TV or VGA. None of these demos will run on a 1 Meg machine. STORMTRACKER - The demo version of Astrasoft's Protracker clone. Although StormTracker works with standard MOD files, it is very different from other tracker program. For a start, it runs in all resolutions except low resolution and you work on a conventional music score where you place notes directly onto a stave and they are replayed using your chosen samples. StormTracker includes its own sample editor and an extensive set of effects which can be added to your masterpiece and replays at up to 50khz depending on which machine you run it on. What's more, it's just brimming with features aimed at traditional musicians. Almost everything is fully functional except the ability to save your work. Includes an example MOD file and some great samples to work with. Full version from Goodman International. Needs 1 Meg. STEREOCAD - This is one of these programs which produces stereoscopic images which can be viewed without using red and blue 3D glasses. You can convert any Degas picture directly into a stereogram using this demo although you cannot save your work. There are lots of options nestling away behind icons so don't be folled by the apparent lack of on-screen tools. It takes some people longer than others to see the 3D image, so you may be in for a long wait. The full version of StereoCAD is available from JCA Europe. StereoCAD runs in low res only. Needs 1 Meg. The Defcon Demo by Cybernetics . A lengthy sample and some interesting screen effects. Needs 1 Meg. SAKI - A collection of short stories by H H Munro collectively known as SAKI.

Third Dimension Issue 14, June 95 - This multi-format magazine is an absolute must for all 3D construction kit users or Virtual Reality enthusiasts with its wealth of information, hints, tips, help, advice, samples, areas, datafiles and things to swap and sell. This issue's contents include part 4 of the space story, information on how to earn money from Kit 1 or Kit 2, two hilarious diaries from a Kit Mum and a Kit Man, more jokes, tutorials, routines, letters and more. An excellent magazine expertly put together and well worth its bytes in gold! A must for anyone who uses the 3D Kits. TRACKER MENU #1 by Swampjuice & V90 - A nice intro followed by the loading of the Esion Tracker. 7 MOD files on disk to listen to. These are mostly from games and demos. Won't work on machines with more than 1 Meg, DOT PLOT - This is a rather obscure program which compares protein molecules and DNA molecules in terms of the number of amino acids present in protein and the bases in DNA. Some sample molecules are supplied on disk. Pure DNA does not contain any amino acids so the logic escapes me! In any event, a plot within adjustable limits, may be obtained. Extensive manuals are on disk in Timeworks and Postcript formats. MOLY - This is a splendid program for chemists and biochemists at University or Postgraduate level. Load cyclohexane as an example from the 48 molecules available (arginine, glucose and so forth). Now play around with all the facilities such as rotation, enlarging or shrinking the molecule, study bond angles from different atoms in the molecule, translate the atoms into bond energy fields, delete or substitute individual atoms and build up your own molecular structures from text book data. A second screen provides another panel of icons with radicals -Cl, -OH, methyl and many, many more to add to the molecule. Van der Waals energies may be calculated and text added to the molecule. Save to disk and build up your molecule - the program will not allow nonsense entries. A manual is included on disk and MOLY is one of these rare programs, so advantageous in advanced studies and so well designed, that its appearance in PD is unbelievably welcome. LIFE - This type of propagation program is well known and goes back a long way in computing. Chris Skellern has presented this one in a very tidy fashion and the rules of the game are well explained. Demos of different growth patterns are available. Alternatively you can create your own and watch the fascinating growth patterns. POWER #16 - The first fifteen issues of this magazine were licenceware. This release is Shareware and comprises of lots of computer related articles as well as several others on non-computer based topics. It has a competition section with many prizes to be won and loads of humourous files and jokes. You can even see what the next month has in store for you by reading your stars! Regular features include letters, columns, information, articles, features and advertisements. There are reviews of ST Handbook and Murder on the Orion Express as well as a selection of PD software on disk. Some of the programs can only be run with a password which is available when you register. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 23, March 96 - Another issue of this popular disk magazine for 3D Construction Kit users. This issue sees an updated OURTOWN datafile and story, a text file on 3D games, ideas on game structures all with excellent documentation and an updated FCL listing. There's also the answers to last month's quiz and a preview of next issue's Helicopter simulation. Also included is a 3D room animation and a feature titled Kit Problems Solved (accompanied by a questionairre). Objects include Armour, Door, Helmet, MediKit, Shotgun, Zombie plus many more. Another excellent issue, a must for any 3D kit user. HD DRIVER v7.5 by Uwe Seimet - A usable demo of this popular hard disk driver software. Amongst its features it supports drives of over 1 Gb is fully XHDI v1.25 compliant supports ZIP drives and DOS formatted drives. allows up to 23 partitions supports two IDE drives and is fully configurable. In addition HD Driver is probably the fastest hard disk driver as well as being the most advanced in terms of features. The demo only lets you write to partition C limits the size of supported media to 1 Gb and does not let you save your customised preferences. Apart from that it is fully configurable. MIDI-COM v3.93 by Harald Blees - A demo of a networking system based around the built-in MIDI ports on Atari computers. Midi-Com allows up to 7 Atari computers to be linked via Midi cables so that each may use the other s drives and peripherals as if they were directly connected to that computer. Each computer is assigned a node name and number on the network and different access levels can be set for each user. It is also possible to use Midi-Com via serial cables or via the cartridge port with additional hardware . A very respectable 32K per second transfer rate can be achieved over a Midi network using only two basic 8 Mb STs. The demo restricts use to drives A and C of the computers connected to the network and has several features disabled. Regrettably the programs and docs are all in German but we ve done RUF translations of the docs in most cases. ROAD RUNNER V1.0 by Andreas Schrell - A sort of German version of Route Finder. In other words a route planner for Germany. Road Runner lists 7700 places and calculates appropriate routes from A to B according to your specifications. This demo does not allow you to print or save the results and has a few other limitations. Well worth checking out if you re planning to tour Germany this summer especially since the full version is very reasonably priced. Obviously the program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. BILLY RENDER V1.0 by Lexicor France - A usable demo of a 3D rendering package. Several tutorial type files are included on disk for you to render or you can import CAD3D2 files. Regrettably the docs are in French but the program itself is in English. Fully function with the exception that you cannot save your work. Conflicts with certain Auto programs and ACCs so best run on a clean system. Requires an FPU. 1ST CONV - Converts ASCII files into 1st Word format so that they can be reformatted easily. CODE_XB - Two versions of a general purpose printer control code sender which have been modified by Tony Kaye to take advantage of the Star XB24-10"s features. The original CODER.ACC by Jon Ellis is also included on disk. EVEREST v3.5E - A nice easy to use Shareware text editor which is fully GEM based. It allows up to 10 windows to be open at once and has most of the features of a dedicated word processor. GDOS fonts are supported if GDOS or SpeedoGDOS is installed and even the system font can be scaled to suit. Almost everything can be customised to suit and settings can be saved. Everest supports keyboard macros, Multi-TOS and the GEM Clipboard. Floppyshop have obtained special permission from the author to distribute this disk. HELPFUL HORACE by Chris Skellern - An easy to use two column printing program. It takes a standard ASCII file and lets you specify the settings you want. It can then be output as a one or two column document. This will save lots of paper when printing lengthy readmes, assuming your printer supports condensed printing. STW4SPN - The Spanish v4 of ST Writer Elite on WRD.07. Ideal if you have a lot of correspondence to do in Spanish. SWIFT 24 - First Word/Wordplus printer drivers for the Citizen Swift 24. WP PACK - This program is designed as an aid for 1st Wordplus users. Amongst its features are the ability to execute Wordplus from a shell, convert between ASCII and Wordplus formats, convert files from v3.15 of Wordplus to v2.1, convert Wordplus to Signum and TEX formats, convert Timeworks pages to ASCII. You can also print Wordplus files from within WP Pack. THE NIGEL SCOTT COLLECTION DISK 20 SKIES - A collection of 35 JPEGs created from original photographs by Nigel Scott. One of a series of disks from a professional photographer. Not to be missed. Files are NSA14 NSA15 NSA76 NSA77 NSA80 NSB03 NSB19 NSB20 NSB21 NSB22 NSB23 NSB24 NSB24C NSB25 NSB26 NSB27 NSB28 NSB29 NSB30 NSB64 NSE30 NSE55 NSF10 NSF11 NSF12 NSF13 NSG28 NSG40 NSH03 NSH34 NSH63 NSH69 NSH70 NSH71 NSH72. Digi-Edit - Demo of a sound editor by E.E. Aycock. Load in various SND files. Play, edit and vary sampling rate and listen to the results. Runs on half Meg on TOS v1.4 and below, needs 1 Meg on the STE. IGS217 - On-line graphics and MIDI-sourced sound. Comes both as an ACC and as an emulator for InterLink. JEKYLL 1.38 - A new file transfer protocol allowing files to be simultaneously sent and received. Now includes a shell program for ease of use. Fully compatible with MINT/MultiTOS and the TT. The latest version lets you send and receive simultaneously, chat to the sysop and save a log file to disk, and play GigaMusic or UltraPlayer music, all at the same time! TURBO-SW v1 - A Shareware BBS program which is designed to be an update to FoReM ST with various enhancements. PICTURE CONCEPT - Load in your own pictures and achieve some fascinating effects with this program which are not possible in many art packages. Autoboot and select the English option if you want the menus and docs in English. Don't delete the bootsector or you'll be stuck with the French version! VIDEO CONCEPT - Digitising software for use with Vidi ST. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. Two excellent programs by The Conceptors. YOUR SECOND MANUAL TO THE ATARI ST V4 by Andreas Ramos - We have finally unearthed the text from a pre-publication version of this now out of print book. Although v5 the printed version is about twice the size and much more up to date this remains an invaluable reference guide for new users. It tells you everything you need to know about the Atari ST and is aimed at the absolute beginner through to intermediate level. It explains everything in easy to understand relatively jargon free language with a generous dose of humour thrown in. It starts off where your user manual left off and progresses to give you a greater understanding of how everything works and introduces you to computer terminology PD BBS s and much more. Although this edition pre-dates even the STE never mind the Falcon it retains its usefulness due to the similarities between all TOS based computers. Highly recommended. HTML 3 - The draft specifications for version three of the HyperText Markup Language as used on the World Wide Web. This is a very clearly laid out easily understood manual which outlines the draft specifications on the latest revision of the HTML language. It is an absolutely essential reference work if you intend creating your own Web pages. 3RD GUIDE by Patrick Ruiz - A guide to programming on TOS based machines. It is a collection of text files and diagrams with masses of information for budding programmers. The graphics can only be displayed in ST high res but there s a print program on disk which will print the text and graphics from any resolution. Although aimed at the ST and STE programmer much remains relevant on the TT and Falcon. AMBITION by Crystalic - A multi screen demo with a guest screen by Zeal. Select the screen you wish to view by either using the main menu (which has lots of music and starfields), or the alternative menu (a rather plain list of screens with no effects being displayed). The screens have all the effects that you would expect and have some very strange titles like the Bobo Screen, Always Ultra, Maggot Master and Corny Corner. Corny Corner is Ambition's very own small game within the demo. It appears to be one of those games where you have to trap the other player (the computer in this case) by completing blocks. STE ONLY. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are APOCALYP, ARTIFICL, EXUP, MINDBOMB, MONTY, TOCATTA, ZAPPED. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. Snd_Play - Simply lets you play back over 60 different sounds. Soundfx - Allows you to create sound effects for use in STOS programs. Both programs were written in STOS Basic. Source code is included on disk. Soundfx needs 1 Meg on an STE. The Charts by Next - Loads up and presents you with a choice of 7 topics. Each one shows a different top five, eg; games, demos etc. MAX by N Taylor - A Mario style Shareware platform game. You must guide the hero, Max, through each level to the exit, picking up the letters of the word EXIT on the way. You must avoid monsters, spikes, water and lava (all of which have a harmful effect upon you) and watch out for hidden platforms, secret rooms and bonus items. The graphics and overall presentation make this a game of very high quality. PIPETRIS by Ross McNaughton - As the name suggests, this is a cross between Pipemania and Tetris. You must create a pipe for liquid to flow through, using vertically falling blocks. The joystick is used to control the movement, rotation and speed of the blocks. When they reach a certain height, the water begins to flow. The aim is to make the water flow across the playing area from rightto left, and by doing so, you pick up points. A very well presented and addictive game. PLONKDEM by Dave Cobbledick - A demo version of a game from Dunces Cap Software. It's billed as the ultimate matching puzzle game and the full version has over 70 levels of play and 5 different game styles. This demo version has 10 levels of matching and 3 lucky dip sections just to whet your appetite. All actions within the game are performed with the joystick. Features all the usual slick presentation and addictive gameplay that are associated with DCS programs. TCB Tracker modules with player program .

Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are BBRAIN2 FLASHDAN HTHRASH JOYKOVA MADMAX TUNE1DF ANDIS64 BSTRONIC DREWORLD HEAVYHSE REBELS ROWROW TELPHONE WATTNEXT. XaAES v0.7 by Craig Graham - Until now there has never been an interface which used the real power of MiNT. Consequently Craig Graham decided to write his own multi-tasking AES to interface with MiNT and this is the result. Due to the fact XaAES was written specifically for MiNT it s much faster than Multi-TOS. As well as speed features include 3D sculptured interface colour icon support client/server achitecture full pre-emptive multi-tasking system animated window gadgets and lots more. Most well behaved GEM programs which run under other multi-tasking systems Multi-TOS Geneva and MagiC will run on XaAES though some are incompatible. If you re ready to give up on Multi-TOS but can t stretch to the price of MagiC XaAES may well be worth a try. DSP56001 DEBUGGER V1.07 by Brainstorm - A top class GEM based debugging tool for DSP programmers by one of the Falcon s most renowned programmers. It displays registers disassembly memory stack breakpoints and variables each in its own window and features an on-line Help mode.The package is very well documented and entirely menu driven. You really can t afford to be without this one if you re into DSP programming. MORPHING V1.05 by Moise Valvassori - As the name suggests this programs lets you morph one image into another by generating the in between frames and creating an animation. You can specify how many frames should be generated the more frames the longer it takes to generate and the more memory/disk space is needed. Having said that more frames results in smoother animations. It uses a different method to Apex Media employing the use of a user-defined grid to control the process. The only limitations seems to be that it only works with 24-bit TGA images and it s very slow. The animation is saved to disk as a series of 24-bit TGA files. These can be stitched into an animation using MPEG FEVER on FALC.5470 or GIF2FLI on FALC.5474 although you d need to convert them to GIF first . The results are amazing even on the default settings. Both program and docs are in French but everything is obvious Needs at least 4Mb a hard drive and Multi-TOS or MagiC it does not work correctly under TOS . One of the most innovative releases to date STELLA V2.56 by Thomas Kunneth - A file manager for graphic files. It lets you to create file lists shows full pathname to file and attaches graphic thumbnails to recognised file formats it recognises most Atari and PC formats so you can easily locate the required image. It can also load individual files or display them in a slideshow. Stella is GEM based and runs in any resolution dithering images down where required. There are a few restrictions in this Shareware release register for the unrestricted version. An impressive release. Just one snag both program and docs are in German though there is a brief English doc. GIF VIEW by Giles Audoly - A very fast GIF file viewer. You can drag and drop files onto it or install it as an application. It lets you lighten or darken pictures or smooth them. You can also scroll up and down large images. Removes top left and right borders to give a larger display. RGB Only. VIEWXXGA by Guido Vollbeding - XGA is a 16-bit True Colour file format first introduced with the Falcon. This program lets you view XGA files on any Atari in any resolution. XY TGA V IEW V1.0 by John Diot - A fast viewer program for uncompressed TGA images. Drag and drop images onto it or install it as an application so you can double-click TGA images to view them. XY SNAP V0.9 by John Diot - When installed you simply hit the key next to Backspace in order to save a screenshot. The screen is saved in TGA format for True Colour Degas for ST compatible modes or IMG for all other resolutions. Digit Confetis Demo - A superb demo using stereo sound and digitised voice overs. The graphic display is nice too, with raster bars in the left and right borders. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. Clip Art in PCX format . ANIMALS XMAS CARTOONS as used by Pagestream 2.1.

INFO '89 text files from Usenet - Covers the period from 21st to 13th October 1989. ROLL IT by Wilfried Kickstein - A puzzle game from Germany which is played on a grid comprising of a number of squares. You must get a black marble across the screen to the exit. To do this, you control a second ball with the joystick. This second ball can be moved over arrows on the grid and pressing the fire button now makes the black marble move in the given direction. You must pick up diamonds as you go, then move the marble to the exit, all within the time limit. It sounds easy but is in fact a very tricky and addictive game that will have you coming back for just one more go. 3D_SKI - Not actually 3-D but it is a ski-ing game!

The last screen is yet more 3D objects and features most of those seen on previous screens. A number of pictures appear between the sub demos. These include dragons, animals and people. Another excellent dentro to add to your collection. FLASHCARDS - You have to identify words and their meanings. Your aim is to learn all the words, their spellings and meanings from the entire collection. The entire set spans 75000 words and over 1.4 megabytes of data. Flashcards is aimed at someone studying English at A Level or Degree standard, although it would serve to broaden the horizons of the average person. A full user manual is provided on disk as is the ability to create your own Flashcards. Each disk is a separate entity and can be run with its own data file. Forth Tutorial - An eleven lesson course in Forth programming by C Janssen. Extensive coverage to this language in 1st Word (WRD.15) format. You will need a copy of 1st Word to read the files. KAOSDESK v2.02 by Andreas Kr”mke - A replacement for the standard GEM desktop. This program has many of the best features of NEODesk and Gemini. It is invaluable if you have a hard disk and desirable even if you haven't. Works in all resolutions, although you might have problems in low res. An icon editor is included. In my opinion, KAOSDesk has all the best features of TOS v2 upwards, and more! I can't reccommend it highly enough. Programs and documents translated by Bob McLeod for Floppyshop. Thanks to Graham Hinton for fixing a number of bugs in the original KAOSDesk and adding the printer support (DESKDRVR - see below). This replaces the version on UTL.393. COMMAND by Joachim Wolf - Command Line Interface with lots of standard external commands (presumably these can be added to, if you know how to program the extensions). Tested with all v1.X TOS versions, also v2.5 and KAOSDesk. DESKDRVR by Graham Hinton - Originally designed as a printer driver for use with KAOSDesk, it has now been updated to work as a standalone program for sending data to the printer, modem or Midi ports on all machines up to Falcon030. It requires a minimum resolution of 640x400. Warning - may not work well under MultiTOS if other programs are running. ULTIMATE STE MEGADEMO - A megademo with a difference. Select the type of demo you wish to load by chosing the appropriate disk on the screen. There are three types of demo:- music, full screen effects and sprities. There are four full screen demos, three stereo music demos and three sprite demos, one of which is actually a game, similar in many ways to Chess. Ten screens designed to show off the technical merits of the STE over the normal ST range. STE ONLY. Demonhak, Motorhak - allows you to customise saved game files from the games Demon's Winter and Motor Massacre. Diskedit - a very powerful disk sector editor. Flu - safely imitates the visible symptoms of ten different boot sector viruses. Quick Menu - another in the Quick series. Allows you to execute programs directly from within a shell by a simple mouse press. Saves you hunting around to find which directory something is in. STDCat - simply the best disk cataloguing system available. Holds details of up to 999 disks per file. Once a disk has been added you can wander in and out of its directories as if you were actually on the desktop. You can search through all your disks for a particular file and locate it quickly. All information such as file size and attributes are stored in STDCat. This version does not feature bugs that existed in earlier versions. Dhunt - searches through a disk for a ASCII string. Very good for finding out clues in adventure games. Qckcheck - a football pools checking program (check to see if you have won a million!). X_Hatch - a cross hatch generator written in Fast Basic. This program is for television engineers. Bank Balance - an excellent program which keeps track of your cheque book balance.

DDP - disk directory printer - allows user to set parameters but will not work on a hard drive. Disksort - directory lister and printer - can also print directory to label. IBM drive - set up parameters and format disk so that it can be read by an IBM PC. Maxidisk - a compressing ramdisk. Allows you to put about 500k of files into a 400k ramdisk. Files can still be run from the ramdisk. Source code included. MCS - Mailbox construction set - a German BBS package. Recover - can recover deleted files - requires some knowledge of disk structure. ROCP - read only control panel - a better version of control.acc. Rvrsscrn - invert screen display. Sector ed - disk sector editor. Squirt it - transfers files from an ST to a MS-DOS based machine. Startup - autorun a non TOS file on startup. ST GFA Convert - convert ST Basic to GFA Basic. Set Date - prompts for time/date if placed in an auto folder. A collection of 56 high quality samples (Synths, Guitars, Drums, Chords, Sound Effects) for use with Soundtracker programs. Load in these samples, play them back at various pitches (using the alphanumerical keys) and record them, making up your own MOD files. SECOND WORLD WAR by Jim Fanning - A three disk set based around the events of the last war. The system is run from TCos V1.2 with data arranged on cards, the text and graphics being accessed by active 'buttons'. The TCos system is well documented in terms of structured programming while the set of disks will provide the user with a large collection of TN3 and IMG scans relating to World War 2 (ranging from newspaper clippings to photographs). A useful compilation which is accurately documented. AURATWIX - An unusual puzzle game involving moving blocks around with the number and cursor keys. Personally I can't work it out, but if you're into logic problems, you're guaranteed to enjoy this one. REFLECT - A challenging puzzle game, the main idea of which is to hit objects with a beam of light. The light needs to be reflected by placing a series of mirrors and prisms in the correct places. ZEDONOID By K J Grantham - A fast action shoot 'em up in which you must battle through a number of levels to free the three brains of Zedonoid. Blast your way through each level, blowing up everything in sight and avoiding enemy fire. An exit on each level leads to the next and another round of rapid fire! Great graphics and not bad sound effects. E.X. ILLUSION by Akira - An original demo which has had a lot of work go into it. It runs in 80 column True Colour overscanned mode and features solid 3D light sourced objects countless plasma stills original soundtracks and much more. The plasmas would not be out of place in an art gallery they re THAT impressive There s a 3D maze which then lifts up and spins before exploding into countless pieces. An impressive effect is achieved by a transparent logo behind which shows a number of 3D objects scaling and rotating in real time. E.X. Illusion makes heavy use of the DSP and all effects are real-time calculated. In some screens over 30 objects are being rotated at once The various sections of the demo are broken up by some German poems but don t let that put you off They merely flash up on screen momentarily. All other text is in English. E.X. Illusion is a well presented demo worth adding to your collection. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Mb. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. THE ON-LINE HACKER JARGON FILE V3.0.0 - A massive file which can best be described as a dictionary of computing jargon (including humorous slang used in on-line conversations) as used by the on- line hackers from around the world. It starts off with a very lengthy introduction covering the origins of modern day computing jargon and looks at its everyday use. It then proceeds to list all known terms in alphabetical order. The file runs to over 1100K and is an essential reference guide for all who use computers. We have broken it down into sensible sized chunks so that even 520 users can read it. FCC Menus - HiSoft Basic source for all the menus on the FCC crew's highly illegal serious software disks. 1.2MB of clever Basic programming and a mine of ideas archived onto one disk. Please note that none of the illegal software is included! POWER UP V1.0 by MC Soft - A racing car game from the Czech Republic. The game is seen from an overhead perspective looking down on the track. Five cars participate in each race, two of which can be human controlled. Control is by keyboard or joystick and is much more responsive than similar games of this type. The aim of the game is simple, to win the race and reduce your own lap time. Power Up is unique in that it runs on any Atari computer but has the ability to utilise the blitter and DMA sound (at 25 Khz on the STE) if your hardware supports it. Even STFM owners get digitised music! It can also output sound to Replay, Replay Professional, Playback, MV16 and Prosound Designer cartridges. This is a cut down version allowing you to play on three different tracks. The track editor is disabled but all other options are fully functional. The full version has lots more tracks and 5 different scenarios for each track. It also includes the track editor, more music and more graphics. Full docs in English and Czech, game in English. Needs 2 Mb. CLOCKY V2.31 by Petr Stehlik - Displays a digital clock in the top right of your screen within the menu bar. It works in all resolutions and is compatible with some graphics cards too. Other features include the selection of international keyboard layouts, support for deadkeys, ALT + ASCII code allows characters not on the keyboard to be entered, mouse accelerator built-in, screen saver (ST High or Falcon only), invert screen colours, boot up a Mega STE at 16Mhz and more... A really useful multi- purpose Auto folder program which uses less than 5K of RAM! BLITMODE by Levien van Zon - Allows you to switch between hardware (using the blitter) and software (using the VDI) blitting. NVDI switches off hardware blitting, this program lets you switch it back on! DRAGFNTE V4 by Thomas Much - A drag and drop font selector for use with Magic. It lists all fonts currently installed under GDOS/SpeedoGDOS/NVDI and allows you to choose the point size and attribute for the selected font. It's then a case of dragging your selection into the open window of your document. Dragfnte only works with Magic alongside programs which understand the font protocol or are compatible with the Xacc 2 protocol. DB360PAT - Patches v3.50 or v3.51 of Oregon Research's hard drive backup utility, Diamond Back, to v3.60. This program is of no use to you unless you already own Diamond Back v3.50 or v3.51. NAMES by David Sykes -Type in your name and find out its meaning. Hundreds of common English language names and their names are included. DA S VEKTOR - A very powerful vector graphics editor. It allows you to autotrace bitmapped graphics work on your vector graphic in layers and create animations with vector graphics. DA s Vektor supports both mono and colour vector graphics and runs under Multi-TOS. Fully functional except that you cannot save your work. Needs 4 Meg. EASE V3 - A replacement Desktop from Germany. It looks similar in some ways to NeoDesk but offers different functionality. Ease can be fully integrated with Kobold and Mag X and has a host of features not normally found in these type of programs. The demo does not allow you to run any programs but everything else seems to be fully functional. It even includes a built-in Help mode Regrettably both program and docs are in German although the full version is in English. MINI F1 V1.03 - A formula one racing game from France. You can practice or compete in the World Championships. The demo only allows you to race on the Phoenix racetrack but the full version has fifteen others. Remember to select which joystick port you are using via the menu otherwise the computer will control your car BOXKITE V1.61 - A replacement file selector which is very similar to Selectric. Boxkite offers most of the Desktop's standard functions (copy, move, delete, rename etc) from the file selector, supports long filenames under MinixFS, has keyboard shortcuts, pop up menus and much more. In addition, the file selector can be resized like a window to display more (or less) info on the files. DR FLOPPY - A disk sector editor in much the same vein as Knife ST but more primitive as it is entirely keyboard operated and does not use GEM. Apart from that, it offers all the editing and searching facilities you're ever likely to require. WARNING! You are liable to lose data if you don't know what you are doing, so make a backup first! FLAMETHROWER V0.7 - A weird multi-purpose utility which lets you change the system date/time, set the default printer to Epson without using Control.ACC, change the screen colours, bring up the item selector and even report on the largest block of free memory. Flamethrower does it all and is even more useful if used with Codehead's Hotwire program. KEYEDIT - Allows you to remap the keys on your keyboard to suit. Of most use if you need to access one or more character which are not normally available from the keyboard. It saves back a small PRG which can be double-clicked to change the keyboard setup or placed in an Auto folder. CV VIDEO V1.0 by Carlos Varela - A video film database program which gives info on the cast, the plot and viewing suitability. Unfortunately this Shareware version only lists about 20 films. The full version has many more. KITTY LOCK by Erin Monaco - Activate before leaving your desk and keyboard activity will be buffered until your return, upon which you enter the keyboard and the buffer is cleared, ready for you to restart. Designed to prevent pets and children from ruining your precious documents! LAUNCHER V1 by F10 Software - A program launcher which will execute a named program from its menu, then return to the Desktop when you exit from the selected program. Most useful to owners of hard drives as it saves them having to dig through folders searching for particular files. F&B PRINT - Prints out an ASCII file by specifying all front pages, all back pages or both front and back. It also lets you set such things as margins, lines per page, printer initialisation codes, headers etc. ST READER V3.10 by SKWare One - Yet another document displayer. This one can be installed as an application so that it is called up when you double-click a text file, or it can be used as a stand alone program. It displays text in 80 columns and runs in all three resolutions. In addition, ST Reader can convert text to and from 1st Word and ASCII formats and the display font can be changed to suit. There's lots more functions available making it as good as most doc displayers. VIGILANT by James Ingram - A virus killer which runs as an ACC or PRG. What makes this one so different is the fact that it can kill viruses in memory without the computer having to be reset. It recognises the Signum, Kobold, Ghost and Green Goblins viruses. It obviously kills viruses on disk too and can switch off and on the executability of a disk for testing purposes. ATARI-CRYPT-O- CONV - by Dragan Espenschied - An odd program which converts an ASCII file into a collection of unreadable characters. Simply install the appropriate GDOS font (supplied) in order to be able to read the encrypted file. Needs to be run from a CLI. Includes an ACC for switching the encryption on or off for keyboard input. DIRSORT V1.1 by Christoph Zwerschke - Allows you to re- order your Auto folder programs, ACCs and CPXs, so that they load up in a specified sequence.

ADVENTURE SOLUTIONS #1 by TBE - Solutions to thirty of the more common adventure games. These all load up from a menu. ENGLAND TEAM MANAGER - Another football management game similar to Football'88 by Budgie UK. This time you are manager of the English National side trying to achieve international glory. Involves a degree of tactical thought. A must for Football Manager addicts. MILE GAME by David Addison - You aim to travel 1000 miles before the opponent does. On the way you can inflict problems on the computer as it can on you. Only selecting the correct menu options will get you out of trouble. Both player and computer get awarded points at the end of each stage. The first to reach 5000 points outright wind the game. It is one of the most addictive games I have ever seen.

Reviews are of BAAL, Eliminator, Flying Shark, Star Ray, To Be On Top, Aladin 2.1, Protext, STAC, and Turbo ST. NOT STE ANOTHER LOTTERY NUMBER GENERATOR V0.75 by Muscles - Described as a fun way to pick your lottery numbers. It starts off with a snappy intro then goes to main menu. If you have an STe, you can alter the volume, treble and bass settings for the samples. It still runs on an STFM, you just don't get the samples. ALNG generates its numbers randomly and you can choose three methods by which to select them. The first displays a moving ball and you press any key to stop it rolling and reveal a number, the second generates random lines of numbers (again generated by pressing any key) and selects the six most common numbers from all rows, the third method involves firing at squares to reveal concealed numbers. ALNG adopts the fun approach rather than a scientific method. It's even more fun if you have an STe as you get stereo samples throughout. Although ALNG will run on a 520 (if you disable the intro), it loads all samples into memory if you have 1Mb or more, thus eliminating further disk accesses. ORION'S RUN - An excellent shoot 'em up. Similar to Xevious and Xenon. KRABAT CHESS - A colour version of the classic German Chess game on GAM.56. BACKGAMMON - By popular request. CARD GAMES - Klondike and Canfield (variations of Solitaire)- gives Microdeal cards a run for it's money. ST KEEP v4.99 - A complete BBS on a disk. ST-KEEP BBS is fully configurable to the Sysop's requirements and supports speeds of up to 9600 Bauds. It really needs a hard disk but on the other hand it can be used with a 520ST, although the extra memory in a 1 Meg machine would no doubt improve the performance. The author has had much experience designing BBS software since writing his first version for the old 8 Bit Atari computers.

ATOM ANT - A boulderdash clone. You must dig through the soil to recover gems. A certain number are required before you can progress to the next level. GO_UP - An excellent Lode Runner clone with 69 levels included on the disk. A level editor is included so you can write your own. PACMAN ON E S - A pacman clone which was originally intended for STE machines. This is a cut down version of the full game but still contains 20 addictive levels. As usual for this type of games the basic idea is to guide pacman around the screen swallowing pills as you go and avoiding the ghosts along the way. This is a very fast game which plays well on the Falcon. VIERFREI - An excellent variation of the card game patience. This game follows most of the rules of patience but with a few exceptions. The game is supplied with English and German RSC files and docs. We have set it up to run in English. To call this a game of chance is an understatement there s 999999 startup positions built into the game SHANGHEI V2.0 - Perhaps the best implementation of Mah Jong to date. Remove the matching tiles from the appropriate rows on the 3D board and clear the board to win. This version features a training mode and offers hints. It is Multi-TOS compatible and supports SpeedoGDOS. Highly addictive. MEGATRON - This is a reworking of the classic light cycles game. This version is for two players using two joysticks and you must move around the screen avoiding touching the walls the trail you are leaving behind you or your opponent s trail. As soon as one player is knocked out the other one must head for the exit to the next level. Many user configurable options and 25 levels of play. Shanghei Megatron and Vierfrei are fully Falcon compatible the others must be run in ST compatibility modes. Atari ST Language disk .

SNIPPIT SYNTH v1.2 by Electronic Cow - A Granular Synthesiser for all Ataris. Granular synthesis is a method of sound generation which uses small sonic events to create a composite sample. In Snippit you have complete control over each sonic event or grain including the type and its placement in the three axes of audio time frequency and amplitude. Use Snippit Synth to create a vast library of extraordinary sounds for use with sample sequencers professional audio applications like Cubase Audio or as a source for your MIDI sampler. This demo comes with over 20 sounds for you to experiment with. Although Snippit Synth runs on any Atari there s no sound output unless you have an STE/TT/Falcon There are a number of restrictions in this demo version. MIDI ARPEGGIATOR V2.11 by Electronic Cow - Use MIDI Arpeggiator to create arpeggio-style mini-sequences for use in your compositions by saving the parts as standard MIDI files both type 0 and 1 . MIDI Arpeggiator can run as either a desk accessory or normal program so it can be open at the same time as your favourite GEM sequencer memory permitting . Alternatively use MIDI Arpeggiator on its own as a live sequencing tool with its many real- time functions and play modes... There are a number of restrictions in this demo version.

The slot machine will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg. VIDPOKER - A poker game designed to be as close to the Casino game as possible in both play graphics. Uses both keyboard mouse. BOUNCING BOUBLES - Shoot down all the bouncing balls to move onto the next level. As you progress you get aliens which shoot back spaceships and more. Forty levels in all. THE ORIGINAL V2.10 by Gerrit Meyer - A faithful reproduction of the original Boulderdash game. For anyone not familiar with the original version, you must collect all the diamonds on each level and find the exit to the next level. This is complicated by the fact that rocks must be moved in order to access some of the diamonds and its all too easy to let one drop on your head! Certain monsters also aim to impede your progress. You are of course playing against the clock too! Fully playable but with certain extras reserved for registered users. Documented in both English and German. A real classic. Needs 1 Mb. ATARI ST BBS CALLBACK FACILITY V2.0 by Andy Inman - monitors the RS232 port for incoming calls. If detected it drops the DTR thus preventing the modem from answering the call. The caller must then re-dial within a pre- determined time in order to connect to your BBS. The main purpose of this utility is to allow BBS operators who share a common voice and data line to determine which calls are voice and which are data. CD-ACCESS V0.99B by Rich Tietjens - Allows you to hook in CD-ROM support to any BBS running on your Atari so that users can download files from a CD-ROM attached to your system. LYNX IRC II DuFTP FOR MiNTNet - Three applications for use with MiNTNet which provide WWW browsing Internet Relay Chat and File Transfer Protocol clients for Internet use. Lynx is a World Wide Web browser but in contrast to Chimera it is text based. On the downside you lose out on all those beautiful graphics one of the attractions of the Web. In its favour is the fact that Lynx saves on your telephone bills since each page takes only a fraction of the time to download. Internet Relay Chat is a system whereby users from across the globe can join in live on-line sessions with each other and all for no more than the cost of a local telephone call. IRC tends to be addictive so watch that phone bill DuFTP is a nice friendly GEM based file protocol manager which lets you log on to those anonymous ftp sites and download the latest PD Shareware releases. Please note that these three applications require 4 Mb and a hard drive and can only be used if MiNTNet S-FALC.5455 S-FALC.5456 S-FALC.5457 is installed on your system. MiNTNet FAQ v1.0 by Christer Gustavsson - A short text file explaining how to set up a working MiNTNet system with the minimum of fuss and bother. NOSFILES - Example STARTUP.NOS DIAL.TXT and NNTP.DAT files for use with AtariNOS.

SEMPER V0.79B by Jan Kriesten - A utility aimed at BBS sysops. It lets you poll other machines in the network so that you can transfer mail packets quickly and efficiently as well as requesting files from or sending files to other machines on the network. Semper can hook into your own BBS software and can operate via the serial LAN or MIDI ports at speeds of up to 230400 bps hardware support permitting . It also supports direct transfer over ISDN lines. Request a key from one of the support sites to give full access to all features including high speed Hydra transfers for a limited period then register for unlimited access. FIRESTORM HTML BROWSER V0.049 by Christian Andersson - An early version of an on-line World Wide Web browser. Unfortunately many functions are either incomplete or disabled and it is only possible to dial a pre-programmed Swedish number from within Sweden . This browser appears to be pre-STiK and CAB although it looks like it could have potential. For non-Swedish users its only real use is as an off-line HTML viewer and even then it doesn t cope with every page thrown at it. GDOS or SpeedoGDOS must be installed in order to use this software. Now with docs in ST-Guide not included and HTML formats. STRIP BREAKOUT - A breakout game played vertically instead of horizontally. Knock away the blocks and reveal the nudes behind them.

Needs 1 Mb. STOSSER Issue #10 (January 1994) - Amazingly STOSSER has reached double figures and the team must be congratulated, as many other diskzines would have fallen by the wayside by now. WELL DONE! STOSSER takes on a whole new look for '94. A new member, Auld Bastid, joins the team this month and takes over the artwork for the shell. From now on, STOSSER will take on a different theme each issue, this one being based around holidays. This month's subject matter includes how to write a commercial package, writing a STOS program, disk accessing, sprites, questions and answers, making programs smaller and GFX tips. The Missing Link tutorial covers mapping commands, there's a humourous look at your Atari and all the regulars continue. As usual, there's another packed GIVEAWAYS folder. Reviews include The STOS Gigazine and much more. STEN 15 - The final issue! Due to lack of support from its readers, the editorial team were not able to generate enough articles on their own and so, sadly have had to let the magazine rest. In this last issue you will find news from Down Under, a quest for a mono monitor, a look at the ICD Link, interlacing explained, info on what music God listens to(?) and two well known companies in the good/bad/ugly section. You can find out if you're computer literate, read reviews of lots of software including Ripples 0.3, Kozmic 4 and Thats Write 2. There's also a small selection of free software for your collection. Goodbye and good luck STEN team! The Swimwear Collection Disk 3 - A collection of high quality pictures in GIF format viewer programs included .

BAD MOOD V2.06 - The complete assembler and DSP sources for Doug Little s Doom engine Bad Mood FALC.5528 . These sources are from quite an early version but are still well worth checking out. VIENNA - An extensive database of the city of Vienna. Upon loading, you are presented with a complete street plan of Vienna. Slide the mouse to the bottom right hand corner of the screen to access the menu icons. The map may be scrolled N/S/E/W and a panel of signs for Schools, Hospitals, Police and an Underground map is available from the icons. Zooming in on areas is possible and measurement of distances between any two points is made in metres and kilometers via the mouse. While there is a search facility for 383 streets in the databank, you are required to enter the street name in question. Place markers may be entered and saved for future reference. Printer options are available. This is an interesting Shareware program which is the forerunner of maps of other cities. Translated into English by Bob MacLeod.

Files are INHALER, MASSAGE1, MASSAGE2, MASSAGE3, MASSAGE4, MEDICS, MOUTH, NURSE__1, NURSE__2, NURSE__3, PREGNANT, SKULLROD, SYRINGES, TWITCHES. 3DANIM - A player program which loads 3D objects created by CAD3D Cybersculpt and Cyberstudio from the ST. The resulting images can be viewed from any angle and rotated using the mouse. Uses the DSP so it s really fast. Several 3D2 files are enclosed for you to play around with. FLYSHOW - A displayer program for running FLI and FLC animations. This one is better than previous offerings because it runs from any resolution and can be installed as an application from the Desktop so that you can double- click FLI files to view them. In addition if you run out of memory the player will run the animation from disk. Two example FLI files are included. FRACTGA - Creates fractal graphics and saves them out in TGA format. The program runs as a TTP and must be called from a CLI and fed with the necessary parameters. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. GENART V1.0 by Ian Clarke - A random pattern generator. It generates four random patterns and you choose which one you like. It is used as the basis for the next four or drawn full screen size. Patterns can be merged or mutated and there s a couple of user settings which may be altered too. GYRO - Draw a symetrical shape on screen and watch it transform into a 3D wireframe object which can be moved around the screen filled with solid colours or saved to disk. There s quite a few settings which may be changed to suit. HAM8 - Displays ordinary IFF as well as and HAM including HAM8 pictures in 256 colour mode. KEFTAL 24 - Creates textured backgrounds and keftal graphics up to a resolution of 24-bit True Colour. You can set the type of graphic to be computed i.e. what type of keftal etc its resolution and the number of colours to be used. The graphic is not displayed on screen so you can generate effects in more colours and in a higher resolution than would normally be supported by your computer. Lots of user definable settings and it s fast too MANDELBROT MACHINE - A program specially designed for the Falcon which allows you to create fractal graphics using the Mandelbrot or Julia sets. You can zoom in to your graphic to any depth. You can set up your own parameters for creating a screen from scratch or load up one of the many pre-defined ones and zoom in on it. Designed for use in 256 colour mode the results are stunning Mandelbrot Machine is quite slow at computation but considering the amount of pixels you are plotting combined with the extra bit-planes the same operation would take several hours on the ST Saving is disabled in this demo version full version with saving and some extras is available from the author. Needs 4 Meg. RAWSHOW - Loads a RAW format picture as used in the Falcon demo by Moving Pixels and lets you view it or converts it to a True Paint image file. XIMGSAVE - Converts a picture in raw screen data into XIMG format. You just need to know the dimensions of the file to be converted. SPEED OF LIGHT V3.8 - One of the fastest GIF and JPEG viewers around. It also supports Degas Prism Paint and X IMG formats. Up to 20 images can be loaded subject to memory and the viewing of oversize pictures is supported via scrolling. You can change resolution with SOL without rebooting and various options are included for optimising the colour palette or tweaking the colour values. Several colour reduction algorythms are included for converting an image to a resolution with fewer colours. Intensity and contrast can also be altered to suit. Scaling up and down and smoothing are also supported. SOL can also display pictures in a slideshow which may be customised using a powerful script language. There are lots of features associated with image processing but the most valuable filtered image scaling which allows you to enlarge an image and smooth it off to the same quality as the original is reserved for registered users along with a few other odds and ends. SOL now runs in any resolution including monochrome FLASHBACK by TCB - This is TCB's last demo on the ST. It is a rather unique nostalgic experience to say the last. The screen is split into four parts and each quarter has a different demo running in it. They have used three screens from the Cuddly Demos and one from the Junk Demo. There's a great soundtrack (no they didn't try to run four soundtracks simultaneously!) playing in the background and the customary scroller at the bottom of the screen. A well produced demo worth getting for the nostalgia as much as anything else. Needs 1 Meg. The Magic Eye Demo by Chris Lloyd . Runs for over 20 minutes and features numerous colourful graphic displays along with four different digitised soundtracks.

Features include a lively letters page, a profile of one of the creators, the first batch of hymn files (with lots more available), a review of a Deskjet refill kit, and lots more. CARRIER ATTACK by Keith Bearman - A unique adaption of the Battleships and Cruisers game. Brilliant graphics and sound effects. Your ships are drawn on the grid and you can see an initially blank grid containing the enemy's ships. All the principles of play are similar to those of Battleships and Cruisers but the presentation and gameplay are a thousand times better. Carrier Attack is very addictive and was written in STOS Basic. SUBHUNT by Ollysoft - A two player game in which the sub and the helicopter attempt to destroy each other.

GNU C/C++ V2.33 - A combined package which provides a complete working environment for developing GNU C, GNU C++ and Objective C based applications. There is no need to use separate compilers, it's all integrated with this package. Unlike previous versions, this package is extensively documented (in ASCII, DVI, MANpage and ST-Guide formats) with comprehensive information on setting up the system and how to use it. In fact even the individual commands are all explained in the manual, making it an excellent programmer's guide. GNU C/C++ is fully ANSI compatible and exists on almost every computer platform, making the code easily portable from one machine to another. Although this package was originally designed for use from a CLI type interface, a GEM based front end (GNU-Shell v2.2) is now available and has been included with the package. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive (full installation requires 12 Mb!). INFO '91 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 14/9/91 to 26/9/91. ASTROLOG V5.20 by Walter Pullen - The ST version of a cross- platform astrology program. This package is very comprehensive to say the least. It calculates the positions of the planets on any given date, computes ephemeris tables, biorhythm charts, relationship charts and astro- graph charts (all charts can be saved in graphic format). It uses positions of over 40 fixed stars, over 170 Arabian parts and their formulae, tropical and sidereal zodiac and much more. This is not a 'fortune telling' program, but a scientific approach to the entire subject of astrology from a mathematical and scientific perspective. Astrolog is extensively documented but not really intended for the novice due to the fact that it is command driven rather than GEM based (although the Help file can be called up at any time). Needs 1 Mb. Platon - a 68000 debugger with a built-in assembler. Well documented. Translated by Robin de la Motte. Mono only. Plotter - enter data and plot graphs on screen or send to the printer. High and medium resolution versions on disk. Documentation in German but source code and program in English. Random - a random access GEM based database.

Plus read the MORE_NEWS - Information on Oracle, a forthcoming multi-line, multi-task BBS System. BRODIE 17 - Bob Brodie reports from the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. ALT MORE V1.0 - How often do you try to read an ASCII file using the Desktop s Show function only to find that the text appears to be one continuous line and runs off the edge of the screen This is because the text is in Unix format. ALT MORE sits in your Auto folder and watches for such files. When it encounters one it displays it correctly on screen. APPMAN V0.86 by Jerry Geiger - An Application Manager. After setting up when you select any file a pop-up menu appears asking you whether you want to show it edit it execute it print it or pack/unpack it. Different options appear for different files as Appman can be set up to distinguish between executables and data files. You simply link other applications to set extensions or even complete filenames and Appman does the work. Requires a replacement Desktop which supports the VA protocol or AES 4.0 Multi-TOS Geneva MagiC etc . ASS V0.1 - Designed to combat the Baby Turtle Virus which scrambles up text strings within files. It does this by trying to distinguish which characters were not entered via the keyboard and then tries to reconstruct the original string. BPR - Sends a binary file directly to the parallel port. Really intended for outputting HPGL files to Deskjets but could be put to other uses. CASIOMODO V1.3 by Uwe Krumm - Allows you to transfer files between an Atari and a Casio FV 850P/880P handheld computer easily using the serial port. Using this program it is possible to edit Casio documents on your Atari and print them out to 9-pin or 24-pin printers only . The package even allows the Casio s special characters to be printed. This Shareware version restricts the baud rate for transfer. There are two levels of registration one gets you the manual and the hardware dongle to increase the baud rate the other omits the dongle and gives instructions on how to build your own. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. ST high res only Needs 1 Mb. COFFEE - A coffee maker on your own Desktop Yes you select how you like your coffee and this nicely presented GEM program will make a lovely cup of virtual coffee to your preference. No spills guaranteed PROBE HOUSE WORLD CLOCK V2.0 by William Wong - A PRG or ACC you choose which displays a clock in a GEM window. What makes this clock unique is that it displays both local time and that of another city elsewhere in the world. Around 50 different cities have their data included so all time zones are covered. After saving your configuration the dual time clock will always operate for the two cities selected although this can be changed at any time. Also has an alarm clock with 8 different sounds and an optional user defined message. AV CABLE - A massive GIF file containing diagrams showing how to make up S- Video and composite video cables for connecting to a Jaguar. CQD V2.1 by TNT - File identifier. Choose any file and it will be identified as an executable file ASCII text etc. A list of legal extensions for that file type will also be given. Other info such as the file size creation date and file header are also given as is the ability to launch the file or unpack it. Useful if a file s extension is wrong and you want to identify it. now in English. PASSTHRU V2.71 by Florian Erhard - A useful program which extends the ability of the Install Application option on the GEM Desktop. Passthru lets you double-click any listed filetype and its creator program is invoked. The necessary parameters are then passed to the creator program prior to launching it. The parameter passed depends on which key s you are holding down when you double-click the data file. This application is functionally very similar to Applier on UTL.5291 but fixes some problems which cause lengthy error reports. It also extends functionality beyond that of its predecessor. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation. GREGOR V1.02 by Alain Popek - A CPX based calendar for use with XControl. As the name suggests it is a Gregorian calendar which essentially means that it can look up dates from 15/10/1582 onwards. Program and docs in French although it s not really a problem with a calendar. Runs in any 16 colour mode. HD-CPX V1.1 by B Figureau - A CPX for formatting high density disks. It allows up to 83 sectors/20 tracks. If you regularly use a specific format you can save it as default from the CPX. All in French but obvious. JETFIND V1.31 by Dirk Steins - A very fast file locator which runs as a PRG or ACC. Type the first few letters of a filename followed by wildcards accepts extended wildcards too or use the whole name. Specify whether you wish to search the current drive or all drives. Much faster than the Desktop s built-in Search facility and more useful too as it lists all finds in a scrollable window. The list can be copied to the GEM Cliboard or all files found can be deleted useful for getting rid of all those BAK files . Program in English but docs in German although we ve done a RUF translation. LOADTIME by Ludovic Rousseau - Displays the time and date each time you start up your computer. If the details are incorrect eg when the clocks change you can manually adjust Loadtime. MAKE UP V1.03 by Frank Behrens - Alllows you to convert ASCII text into hypertext for use with 1st Guide FALC.4865 . If 1st Guide is running as an ACC you can monitor the changes you make and test out your links as you create them. Both program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. NAME COOKIE INSTALLER by Carsten Tolkmit - Asks for your name birthdate etc then creates your own personal cookie. It is then possible for other programs which are Name Cookie aware to extract this information as required. The docs include programming info on how to do this from your own programs. N_MENMIN v1 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Changes the broken lines i.e. - which separate menu items on the Desktop and in GEM windows into solid ones to give a much neater appearance to the Desktop. SOFT PC PATCH by Patrice Bensoussan - Two programs to enhance the usability of SoftPC MS-DOS emulator for the TT and Falcon . The first allows you to put the emulator files anywhere you wish on your hard drive they had to be in a specific path previously . The other program is an alternative loader for the system which remembers your Desktop colours and restores them correctly on exit. Clip Art in IMG format .

THE SUPERVISORS PROGRAMMING DISK - Source code from Poland. You will need Devpac 2. Full source code to the Gigascroll demo which first appeared in Mindbomb, source to Dogodrum music and chip music. Formerly part of the BUDGIE UK range. GENEVA 006A UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v005 of Gribnif's Geneva multi- tasking OS to v006. This upgrade mainly consists of bug fixes to v005, though there are a few improved features. Please note you require original Geneva v005 master disks in order to perform this upgrade. If you have an earlier version of Geneva you will need the patch on UTL.4411 to bring it up to v003, the patch on UTL.5485 to bring it up to v004 and the patch on UTL.6180 to bring it up to v005. If you don't already have Geneva, this program is of no use to you. GNVA6FIX - The original upgrade patch from v005 to v006 (not the one on this disk) was bugged and caused the system to become unstable in certain circumstances. This patch fixes the problem. If you are already using the 006A upgrade (on this disk) you do not need this patch. WIN95FIX V0.04 by David de Ridder - If you copy files from a PC running Windows 95 onto a floppy disk, the disk often appears to be messed up (even Atari programs on the disk appear to be damaged) when you try to read it on your Atari. This is caused by the VFAT system used by Windows 95 which handles long filenames on DOS formatted floppy disks. It writes illegal (to TOS at least) filenames with illegal file sizes. This program deletes these files and allows your Atari to access the data on the disk without further hindrance. ICONS - Almost 150 icons for use with the THING replacement Desktop on UTL.5102. As well as regular icons, miniature versions are also included. Many of these icons are for newer applications and do not appear in earlier icon collections. Although intended for use with THING, they can also be used with TOS v2.06 or later in place of the supplied DESKICON.RSC file or as additions to it if you have an RSC editor such as Interface. FLI PLAYER V1.08 by Seb - Install as an application then simply double-click FLI animations from the Desktop to replay them. PICCOLO V1.00 by Frederic Bayle - A cut down version of Parx s D2M which is designed to demonstrate the use of their M E modular system. It lacks a decent set of tools but does load and save in a variety of formats using the Parx M E modules. A small selection of these modules are supplied and a fuller distribution version of them is available on FALC.4787. Using the M E modules you can input images directly from Vidi-ST select from a variety of colour reduction methods to obtain best results and apply various effects to your images. With the full version of the M E modules the functionality of this package is further extended. EB MODEL V2.75A by Emmanuel Baranger - A universal 3D modeller for use with several different raytracing package. It imports scripts from POV CLOE and 3D Studio on the PC . The ability to export files in anything other than EB-Model s own format is reserved for registered users. EB-Model simplifies the process of setting up cameras and lighting for your scene with the use of movable objects in a GEM window rather than the hit or miss approach of entering the data by hand into script files. The program includes pre- calculated objects segments boxes prisms tubes spheres pyramids cones and more and there s a library feature which lets you store copies of your own objects for use in other scenes. You can even spin and extrude shapes and create fractal landscapes. Your creation can of course be viewed from different elevations. The program uses the modern face of GEM with colour icons movable windows 3D interface and so forth. Unfortunately the docs are entirely in French although the program is in English. Multi-tasking friendly needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are GARAMON1, GARAMON2, GARAMON3, GARAMON4, GARAMOND, GA______, GOTHIC, GOTHICB, GOTHICBI, GOTHICI, GRADL. TRASHCAN v1.05 - A CPX for use with XControl, which acts as a recoverable Trashcan, allowing you to undelete files by copying them out of the Trash directory. You need to empty the Trashcan in order to permanently delete files. BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files, therefore saving paper. It also converts Unix ASCII and Mac ASCII files to DOS format so that they can be read on an Atari, and takes care of the differences in the mapping of the ASCII character set between the ST, PC and Mac. Now with an easy to use GEM interface. CHICFONT - Replaces the Desktop font with a Mac font. Simply but it in an Auto folder and forget about it. A drastic improvement over the system font! DOPPELKLICK - Makes a right-click emulate a double-click. In other words you can click once on the right button instead of twice on the left! DJSCRFIX - An ACC which fixes the problem of one mouse click being interpreted as two when clicking onto scroll bars with TOS 1.4 or later. In addition, it allows you to initialise a Deskjet printer switched on after your ST. Assembler source included. PCORRECT by Adam Millard-Ball - Accepts an ASCII file and attempts to 'correct' it to be politically correct i.e. inoffensive to anyone! More of a laugh than anything else. POWER MOUSE V1.3 - Allows you to use an Atari Powerpad (as supplied with the Jaguar) instead of a mouse. Power Mouse allows the Powerpad to be used in any application which normally uses a mouse. VERICARD - Type in a credit card number and this program will tell you whether or not it is a valid number. Useful for mail order firms. ONE JACK by STectre - A program launcher which runs as an ACC and has the ability to run up to 66 PRG, TOS, TTP or GTP programs from a menu with a simple click of the mouse. DRIVEN V1.5 by Adam Millard-Ball - A highway code tester. You can select to be tested on 10, 25 or all 52 questions. The answers are given as multiple choice and are selected by simply typing A, B, or C. The intention was to include a section on road signs but an objection from HMSO on the grounds of copyright prevented this being added! Well worth getting hold of if you're sitting your driving test soon. JETLOPE 2 v2.2 by Barney Poston - Our first program for the HP Deskjet 510 and 520! It lets you print envelopes (either individually, from an ASCII list or from data stored in the GEM clipboard) and lets you access the internal fonts built into these printers. The envelope sizes catered for are #10 commercial and European DL. Lots of features are built into this program including a name and address database. JETLOPE 2 V1.3 by Barney Poston - Exactly the same as above except that this version runs on the HP Deskjet 500, rather than the 510 and 520. MOVIES AT NIGHT V1.2 by Andrew Watson - This is a screensaver program which lets you play animations when the screen is being blanked. It is identical to the version on UTL.4412 except that this is a standalone version rather than merely an extendo-save module for Warp 9 (although it works as that too!). As well as using its own animation file format, you can also import Degas pictures or CyberPaint SEQ files. Both the screensaver and the construction set are included as well as an example animation. PRIZEDRAW v1.5 by S B Trudgian - A program for printing sequential numbers onto raffle tickets. Printers will usually not consider doing numbered tickets in small amounts. Simply design your tickets using a Desktop Publishing program and then run this program. It lets you specify where to print the numbers and how many counterfoils are required. You can of course save all your settings to disk for use with your next batch of tickets. RES SWITCH V1.01 - A very simple boot manager. It asks you if you want to boot up in low or medium res and selects the appropriate DESKTOP.INF file for your chosen resolution. SPLITTER V2.0 - A nice easy to use GEM based program which splits large files into smaller pieces so that they may be transferred to floppies for backup purposes or to move them from one computer to another. Both ST and PC versions are supplied. ATARI EXPLORER ON-LINE (vol 3 Issues 2 & 3 dated 6/2/94 and 22/2/94) - The fortnightly magazine from the States is here yet again with loads more info, reviews etc, There are articles on many ways to turn your ST into a powerful and useful machine, Falcon hardware from the UK, the basics of 3D computer programming, more in the Developing News article, AEO's Jaguar Developer/Title List, more GEnie News, computer and game industry news and a brief history of UIS. F030 - Documentation on the Falcon's hardware registers by Aeon and Chris of Aura and Bitmaster of BSW. CD SPECIAL - The transcript of a realtime conference on CD-ROM for Atari computers which was attended by many developers. GENIE LAMP Issue 3.48 dated 4/2/94 - Hardware and software bargains from around the world. NEWS - A look at the specs of Wizztronics' Barracuda 040 upgrade board for the Falcon and the latest release of ExtenDOS. NOTE:- 520 owners will not be able to use the supplied file displayer for the larger files and will have to view them from the Desktop instead. CYBER SCULPT EXTRUDE AUTO-TRACER by J Stanford - Converts an uncompressed Degas image into an extrude template file which is then loaded into CyberSculpt to create 3D objects. Works better with some images than others but it does offer a simple solution to the problem with virtually no user intervention. GEM2PS V6.1 - Converts GEM Metafiles into PostScript or EPS format for output to PostScript devices. It is also possible to view the structure of the GEM file and to specify positioning on the page for the printing of its PostScript counterpart. Text can also be used but you are restricted to using the Helvetica font. MEGA-BIT V1.1D by Thomas Much - Converts GEM Metafiles into bitmapped files at resolutions of up to 32766 x 32744 pixels. They can be saved in IMG, TIF or PCX formats or as multiple PI3, PIC, PAC or GFA Block screens. BORDURE by Denis Miguel - Creates a border (within the image's original boundaries) of the size and colour you specify around any 8-bit or 24-bit (Type 2 or 3) TGA image. You can even allow the image to gradually fade into the border and specify settings for this too! Docs in French but easy to figure out. REDUCE TGA V2.0 by Denis Miguel - Lets you resize any 24-bit or 8-bit (Type 2 or 3) TGA image by typing in a percentage (for each axis) or the exact dimensions (in pixels) required. Once again French but obvious. ROTATE TGA V1.0 by Denis Miguel - Rotates an 8-bit or 24-bit (Type 2 or 3) TGA by a specified number of degrees. The image's size is increased to avoid cropping. It can be displayed on a black background or using a tiled effect with multiple copies of the image being used as the background to give a 3D effect. Once again French but obvious. All Denis Miguel's TGA utilities work blind (i.e. without displaying the image) so they can be run from any resolution without affecting the image quality. XCOPY POV V0.9 by Fabrice Grainger - Allows you to make copies of objects created for use with Persistence Of Vision Raytracer v2. Includes very detailed instructions but unfortunately they are in French. Bigfish - Icon driven Desktop functions for STOS programmers. Low res only. Charset - An ACC which displays the full ST character set with hex and decimal values. Edisk21 - another RAM disk. MMM - Mickey Mouse programmers' machine code monitor, like MonST. Scrdump - This ACC redirects screen dumps to disk. Cal47 - Calendar and diary ACC, warns of upcoming appointments/events. DCSlick - Emulate mouse buttons with keyboard. Especially useful on the Stacy. Intram - Ramdisk ACC. Mousey - Configurable mouse accelerator ACC, several options. Simcheat - Lets you cheat at Sim City. Dfind v1.1 - Find file on any or all partitions of hard disk. Both PRG & ACC versions included. Loud - A talking formatter which tells you what its doing! Music - An ACC which plays background music. V_Disk - An ACC ramdisk, German docs. WG_Data - Comprehensive database package, max 64000 records of 20 fields. GEM interface, extended BASIC language for data manipulation. Runs in all resolutions. Well documented. THE S-Extension Demo by Network from Norway - A fantastic demo with 10 sub demos. Move from one demo to the next by pressing SPACE. Each sub demo could rank as a demo in its own right. You even get a stereo soundtrack if you have an STE! PPP KIT V1.4 by Philippe Abel - Allows you to use CAB (WWW Browser) with a service provider who supports the PPP protocol rather than SLIP (as supported by STiK). It requires CAB (COM.5551) and HS Modem (COM.4407) in addition to the files supplied. Unlike other MintNet applications, you do not need to format a separate Minix partition. The kit includes a cut down version of MintNet, MintNet compatible CAB.OVL as well as all the MintNet setup files required and detailed instructions on how to get the system up and running in both English and French. All you have to do is edit the configuration files to suit your ISP. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. PNG - The full C sources and accompanying documentation for the Portable Network Graphic PNG format which has been adopted by CompuServe to replace GIF 89. The code is not Atari specific but is easily adapted for use with Lattice C and other compilers. PNG is rapidly replacing GIF as it supports up to 24-bit True Colour GIF only handled 256 colours . USET2G release 3 - a Pure C library which allows you to support TOS2GEM UTL.5163 in your programs. includes a GNU C makefile and C source to the library itself. THE MINT PROGRAMMERS GUIDE - An ST Guide hypertext file ST Guide Lite included of the entire MiNT documentation by Eric Smith. It documents every supported command and includes five extensive appendices covering memory protection debugging the MINT.CFG file and loadable file systems such as Minix. Invaluable reference guide for those wishing to delve into programming for multi-tasking systems. PURE C SHELL V2.21 by Frank Schramm - A comprehensive shell for use with PURE C only. Extensive menu system gives the user control over linkers. compilers assemblers and much more. Unfortunately the program and docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. JDEB by Concurrent Systems Sweden - A source and machine level debugger for use with HiSoft s Lattice C. It has its own built-in window support and allows an unlimited number of windows to be opened. JDEB has a built-in ANSI C parser/interpreter allowing you to write macros in C and use these for debugging your program. THE BUNCH DEMOS by Mungo of Dentrassi - An impressive collection of 11 demos written in GFA Basic (although you'll never believe it). The main menu consists of a 7 storey building. Each room leads to a different demo. Once you've seen all the demos on the appropriate floor, enter the lift and go to the next floor! PNG - The full C sources and accompanying documentation for the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format which has been adopted by CompuServe to replace GIF 89. The code is not Atari specific but is easily adapted for use with Lattice C and other compilers. PNG is rapidly replacing GIF as it supports up to 24-bit True Colour (GIF only handled 256 colours). USET2G release 3 - a Pure C library which allows you to support TOS2GEM (UTL.5163) in your programs. includes a GNU C makefile and C source to the library itself. THE MINT PROGRAMMERS GUIDE - An ST Guide hypertext file (ST Guide Lite included) of the entire MiNT documentation by Eric Smith. It documents every supported command and includes five extensive appendices covering mememory protection, debugging, the MINT.CFG file and loadable file systems such as Minix. Invaluable reference guide for those wishing to delve into programming for multi-tasking systems. WWW ACCESS PACK - A growing suite of Shareware and Freeware programs (most of which have UK registration) by different authors which allows Atari users to access the world wide web. It runs in any resolution and is a full graphic browser, unlike Lynx. The official WWW package consists of STiK, CAB, CAB.OVL, AntMail, Telnet, IRC, Cache_Ed, Weather Forecast, Finger and a specially written setup program to install everything in the correct places on your hard drive and configured correctly for your own ISP. You'll need a hard drive and at least 1 Mb of memory to run this package. All are multi-tasking friendly and several of the component parts of this package can be running simultaneously under such a system. They also run reliably under single TOS. Here's a description of what's what. STiK v1.12 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Dan Ackerman) - Consists of an Auto folder patch and ACC and provides the necessary network layer through which everything else works. It dials up your ISP, logs you on and returns control to the system so that you can run the appropriate clients. Currently STiK (and therefore this entire package) only works if your Internet Service Provider (ISP) supports the SLIP protocol. PPP is not yet supported. COOL ATARI BROWSER v1.5 by Alexander Clauss (a modified version of HTML Browser on COM.5183) is your Netscape clone which allows you to surf the Web. It is now fully compliant with all HTML 2 commands and many from the emerging HTML 3 standard. In its current form it offers most of the functionality of Netscape but without the memory overhead! You can access, cache and display the URLs either on-line of off- line and support for JPEG images (as used by some sites on the Web) is also included. Pages are cached to your hard drive and accessed from the hard drive the next time you need them to save on-line time, only downloading un- cached pages. Obviously you can also read pages off-line. CAB can be configured for English, French, Spanish, Swedish, Italian or German. CAB.OVL v1.2904 by Tim Newsome (now maintained by Dan Ackerman) - This provides the on-line support for CAB. It invisibly links CAB into STiK to allow URLs to be accessed 'live' rather than merely loaded from disk. IRC v0.90 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Lonny Pursell) - Allows you to participate in Internet Relay Chat (IRC). IRC is essentially a way of having live 'chats' with lots of other computer users on-line. Everything happens in real time and you can be 'talking' to several other users from all over the world simultaneously! This latest version is GEM based and multi-tasking friendly. TELNET V1.0 by Jim Baumgardner - A Telnet client for use with STiK. Telnet allows you to log on to a computer on the Internet in a similar fashion to using a standard terminal emulator (such as Connect) to connect to a BBS and lets you wander around the system's directories as if it were directly connected to your own machine. This lets you effectively cross hardware platforms, like using a virtual machine! FINGER V1.30 by Lonny Pursell - A 'finger' client for use with STiK. It allows you to obtain information about email addresses. Some servers give little information to the finger client, others give masses! Useful for finding someone's email address, getting a list of all users who match a certain specification or even to check if you have mail waiting for you. STiK WEATHER FORECAST v0.3 by Jim Baumgardner and Dan Ackerman - When used in conjunction with STiK it gives the temperature, barometer, wind speed and humidity (displayed both graphically and as text) for any major US city. It even remembers the city you last requested data for, and uses it as your default setting. Interestingly, the authors are working on a system which will extend coverage to the rest of the world. ANTMAIL V0.79 by Dan Ackerman - A POP3 mail client for use with STiK. Translated into plain English, it's an easy to use program which manages your email for you. It supports multiple users, so several people using the same account. For example, the_dog@abcd.atari.com, the_cat@abcd.atari.com and the_budgie@abcd.atari.com will all have separate mailboxes when using Antmail and incoming mail will be directed to the correct mailbox. It uses SMTP to send mail and POP3 to retreive it. More systems are converting to POP3, this could be a major feature. The main benefit of POP3 is that you 'ask' for your mail when you want to download it, rather than have it 'thrown' at you as soon as you log on (expensive at peak calling times!). Antmail allows messages to be written on-line (whiles away the time when you're in the middle of a big download!) or offline (saves on the 'phone bill the rest of the time!). Please not that Antmail won't work unless your ISP supports the POP3 protocol (most do). WWW INSTALLER V1.00 by Manfred Ssykor - An easy to use program which installs everything in the right place on your hard drive. An especially useful feature is its ability to update individual programs in the pack without having to perform a full reinstallation. PACMEN by Wacko Software - Yet another adaptation of the classic game. This variant allows up to four players to compete on an ST and up to eight players on an STE! Each player has infinite lives as the game ends when all the dots have been eaten. SPACEWAR 2000 - A shoot 'em up for between two and four players where the main idea is to destroy your opponents before they destroy you. Control is by joystick and you'll need at least one other person to play this game as there are no computer controlled ships. Collect special weapons and a variety of power-up's in your quest for domination in Space. Needs 1 Meg. ATARIPHILE #4 - Special two disk Christmas bumper edition. All the usual "Philes" (News, Comms, Adverts, POV tutorial etc) are there plus a new regular MidiPhile. Reviews include MagiC 5, Papyrus 4, Infodedia, Videlity, Syquest EZ-Flyer 230, Destruction Imminent and the final part of the Positive Image review. There's advice for advanced players of Frontier Elite II plus many other articles and a special feature, in collaboration with Atari Computing magazine, on replacement desktops including Ease, MagiXDesk, Neodesk and Thing. Not to be missed is an excellent feature on multi-tasking which explains all you ever wanted to know about the subject and includes reviews of MagiC and Geneva, the leading multi-tasking OS's. Other miscellaneous bits include articles on Scoring In Cubase, Starting Out In Midi, Artificial Intelligence and piece on Al Goold's favourite ACCs and much more... As usual this issue's absolutely brimming with everything Atari and up to its usual high standard. Written in HTML, AtariPhile needs to be run with CAB (on DMG.5556) and requires 1 Mb. STEStosSterone Issue 2 - Dedicated to STOS programming on the STE. This issue gives away the full source to last month's Intro Demo Screen. The tutorials look at hardware scrolling, the Control EXTension and advanced blitter commands. Musicians will be glad to see a feature on the Ninja Tracker and the Quartet Tracker and how to use them in your STOS programs. There's also a list of commercial, Public Domain and Shareware games for your STE. Quite informative again this issue. On quitting this diskmag, you will find an amusing look at 'The Atari Sod's Laws' by Colin of the Gosport Fun Factory. STE ONLY. NATIONAL LOTTERY SIMULATOR PLUS by Colin Ballantyne - This is a lottery program with a difference. It doesn't go for mind-blowing methods of prediction or analysis of past results. So what does it do? It does what the name suggests, it is a simulation of the actual draw itself. Enjoy the introduction music to the show, the build-up to the draw and then the nerve-racking draw itself, all performed accurately and with the full atmosphere of the real thing. This latest revision sees the graphics revamped to match those on the TV show more accurately. It has lots of other extras such as the ability to pick the lottery machine and ball set (different ball sets equate to different randomising algorithms, some of which are really wierd!). There are other new features like selection time, selection interval, draw bonus, print numbers, quick draw and quick multidraw. What's more, the music and speech are not 'borrowed' from the show either, they are reproduced by Glasgow music students! A real fun way of picking those elusive numbers. There's even a cheat's mode so that you can dupe your friends into thinking you've won! The Atari World Demo by the Norwich Atari User Group . The familiar spinning globe logo of the BBC appears in an Atari monitor. Various other animations run alongside this. NOT STE BULLET TRAIN - this game involves steering a train along a set of tracks at high speed. You have to avoid crashing into obstacles by firing at the and blowing them up. Many tracks end upexpectedly so you must change track before it ends. A small map showing your position and the layout of the approaching track is displayed at the top of the screen. Also included is an editor program. This must be accessed from the desktop. Press CTRL-C to exit to desktop and load BULEDIT.PRG to access the editor. ZOLTAR - A Space Invaders game. ORBIT - An Arkanoid clone. These top quality games also include built-in editors so that you can create or customise levels to your own requirements. These are the games that come free with STOS Basic. THE MODULE COLLECTION 7 by JSD . Boots up with a demo, then exits to a MOD player. MODs are FREEFALL, NORTHSTR, SCOOPEX, STEELMUS. The following Tracker programs are also on disk:- Audio Sculpture, Digi Composer, Esion XLII and Noisetracker. FEELING PARTNER by Music Pro Import - A Midi sequencer with a number of extras thrown in. It allows you to build up your own compositions manually or by use of pre-defined music data. The harmony function of the program then creates an appropriate harmony for your masterpiece in real time. All Save operations are disabled but the program is complete in all other respects. Needs 1 Meg. FONT KIT PLUS 3 by The ST Club - A comprehensive program which allows you to create or edit a variety of font types and convert between these formats. Probably the best font editing software on the market. The demo has Save disabled but is otherwise fully functional. The VDU Demo by Harvey Lodder - A spoof Government Health Warning on VDU radiation. Read the health warning, watch the demonstration and see the effects of radiation. A couple of unorthodox cures are highly recommended. You'll enjoy it if you are open minded and have a wierd sense of humour. Harmless fun, nothing distasteful here. NOT TOS 1.62. The Mini Juggler Demo by Radical Systemz. This is the demo which started it all! Digitised frame by frame from the mainframe version. A truly amazing demo which has had to be reduced in size to fit into half Meg of memory! DBA MAG #3 (Feb '92) by The Disk Busters Association - They've changed the interface a little and I'm not sure it's an improvement! The intro needs 1 Meg so we've taken it out of the Auto folder. If you have a 520, don't run it! This issue's choice of music consists of eight synthesised digi-drums/chip music mixes. Features include fitting 2.5Mb into an STE, a report from Atari Expro in Eindhoven, a review of the Star LC 24- 200 printer, a review of PC Demper (another thermometer controlled hard drive fan), a report on the 'traffic lights' virus, CD reviews, video reviews, pop news, demo news, reviews of Hi-Fi loud speakers, poems, lots more jokes, loading PC1, PC2 and NEO pics into GFA Basic, some beginners' stuff for STOS coders and the STE corner. Yes there's more but we've run out of space! Once again a worthwhile read but be warned about the bad language. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are AFL, FLUTES, JET, ORCHES90. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. S-FALC.5456 S-FALC.5457 CHIMERA TELNET FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your Falcon or TT into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your Falcon or TT. Also included is Chimera a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an Atari to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation TAF . It s certainly not Linux but it s the next best thing Please note that this package requires at least 4Mb of memory a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It should also be noted that it only runs in ST high resolution. EPRO 24B - Updates v2.4A of Anondyne Software s ExtenDOS Pro to v2.4B. Please note this program is of no use to you unless you already own ExtenDOS Pro v2.4A. Version 2.1 upwards can also be upgraded by using the patches on FALC.5546 and FALC.5709 as appropriate. EXCELLENT v1.00b by Dominique Bezeriat - A text file viewer for use with MagiC. It can be used as an alternative file viewer within MagiC or as a standalone program. It supports the use of different fonts and point sizes within your text. Regrettably the docs are entirely in French although the program itself is in English. FREEGEM by Kellis - Allows you to monitor free RAM in real time. It displays both ST RAM and TT Fast RAM if appropriate as a percentage of total RAM in bytes and as an LED display FreeGem requires AES 4.0 Falcon/TT or a multi-tasking OS such as Multi-TOS or MagiC. GEMVELOPE DEMO by Brisk Software - Allows you to print envelopes fed into your printer the long way. It uses GDOS not supplied but is also SpeedoGDOS compatible it doesn t like NVDI . It is also possible to import text from your word processor and set up custom envelope sizes. Exact positioning of text is also supported. There are of course limitations in this demo version. Requires GDOS v1.1 or later. GENEVA MACRO EDITOR V2.0 DEMO - Allows you to record numerous events and play them back in a simple operation when using Geneva. This demo is limited to recording and playing back just 25 actions. The full version is supplied on the Geneva Utilities Disk available from Gribnif and their distributors. MAGICSLM by Harald Schoenfeld - Lets you use an Atari SLM804/605 laser printer to print files from a Falcon PC or Mac You need to attach the SLM to the ST s DMA port you need an ST to act as your printer server and connect the two computers via a null modem cable. Print from the Falcon PC or Mac using an HP driver to the serial port and MAGICSLM will intercept the data and print it to the SLM. If your application does not support printing to the serial port you will need to print to disk instead. Although it seems like overkill having to connect up two computers and a printer it does let you make use of your Atari laser on machines which do not have a DMA port. Docs are in German but there s an excellent article in Atari Computing 9 explaining how to set it up. Needs an ST or STE with at least 2Mb running the Diablo emulator on UTL.364 a null modem cable a Atari SLM804/605 laser and an application which supports printing to the serial port or to disk. MINTSETT by Kellis - A GEM program which gives information on your MiNT kernal such as your configuration and user defined settings. The results can be sent to the Clipboard. Now incorporates all the features of ALERT.ACC so it is no longer required and you can set up your system to run MINTSETT when a BUS error is generated as a debugging aid. Requires FreeMiNT v1.14.6 or later. MAKE ST IMAGE v1.1 by Vezz - Allows you to create a .ST format disk image from any floppy disk for use with the Pacifist on FALC.6049 PC or Nostalgia on FALC.6160 Mac Atari emulators. Prior to the release of this program you had to create a MSA archive then convert it to .ST format on the PC now the whole process can be completed on the Atari. Although this is an Atari program it is of no use to you unless you are emulating an ST on a PC or Mac using one of the above emulators. POWER SAVER by Tommy Andersen - If you have a monitor which supports low energy power saving features this CPX for use with Xcontrol UTL.3879 automatically powers down your monitor after five minutes. Do not use this program on monitors which do not support power saving features otherwise you may damage your monitor. SERIAL V1.00 by Peter Rottengatter - A replacement for MODEM.CPX which recognises the TT and Falcon s serial ports and supports baud rates higher than 19200 bps. NEWTON V0.5R by Mikael Folkesson - A calculator in a movable window. It has been designed specifically for use on a multi-tasking OS but works fine on TOS too. When running under Magic if an xFSL compatible font selector and NVDI v3 or later is installed you can change the default font used by Newton. As well as simple calculations Newton supports the following functions abs acos asin atan cos cosh exp log log10 sin sinh sqrt tan tanh and heav. One of the prettiest calculators yet NO GREEN V0.95 by Mikael Folkesson - Does the green blue on the Falcon annoy you on bootup This program replaces it with a grey background. In fact you can alter that to any colour or indeed image you wish using a resource file editor such as Interface or Resource Master. 19200 bps. OMIKRON PATCH V1.0 by Empty Head - Patches Omikron Basic v3.01 to make it Falcon compatible. FASTSHUT by Christian Ratsch - Lets you shut down MagiC from Start Me Up on UTL.5760 without having to open its right-click extra menu. Besides it s much faster than SMU s method.

The only difference is that this version does work Includes assembler source to depack files. Thanks to Graeme Urquhart for the fix. DESKDRIVER 2 by Graham Hinton - Originally designed as a printer driver for KAOSDesk this program has evolved into a complete communications port driver. It allows you to direct output from a disk file to the parallel serial serial 1 serial 2 modem 1 modem 2 MIDI or LAN ports depending upon which of these is supported by your TOS version and machine . As far as we know this is the only driver which addresses the extra ports on the Mega STE TT and Falcon. It is also a an exceptionally good printer driver for replacement Desktops. LOTTERY COMPANION v4.22 by Mark Butler - Written by one of Britain s best known Shareware authors LC is another carefully researched program rather than merely a random number picker although it can do that too. Each week you add the draw numbers to the statistics stored on disk and predictions can be made based on the least or most commonly drawn numbers drawn over a period of time and three built-in weighting options are used to improve the accuracy of this forecast. As you do this your numbers will automatically be checked against the draw. An additional feature in this program is the number wheel where you enter the number of data sets required you can have up to 1000 and either pick 12 number fields manually or using one of the program s built-in number generation methods. All possible permutations of six lucky numbers chosen from your selection of 12. Pattern analysis is also useful as it displays any patterns that are forming after analysing all draws performed to date. LC supports print out to any printer and is constantly being updated. This latest version handles the mid-week draw. Suitable for personal or syndicate use. Can you afford to miss out on this one SPEEDVIEW V1.5 by Christian Ernst - Gives a visual preview of all SpeedoGDOS fonts currently loaded. This is particularly useful if your SpeedoGDOS application does not have a font preview option. In addition Speedview displays the actual name of the font rather than its often obscure filename. Invaluable if running Multi-TOS as you can use Speedview to view the fonts while your SpeedoGDOS application is running. SPEED DVS by Thierry Rodolfo - SpeedoGDOS printer drivers for the HP Deskjet 550C and Epson models LX800 LQ500 LQ800 LQ850 LQ1000 LQ1050. These have been tested with Atari Works but should work equally well with other SpeedoGDOS based applications. D2M v2.50 by PARX Software - An art package which runs in any resolution. It loads and saves almost any file format using Parx's M&E modules. Most things work with the exception of saving. It supports Speedo GDOS and is Multi-TOS friendly. It looks like a very capable package and is now in English. TUNNICLIFFE'S BRITISH BIRDS #2 - A collection of 300 dpi scans taken from scraper board illustrations by Charles Tunnicliffe, dating back to 1947 and earlier. Files are HAWFINCH, HERON, JACKDAW, JAY, KESTREL, LAPWING. LINNET, MALLARDS, MUTESWAN, M_PIPIT, NUTHATCH, OWL_LEAR, OWL_LITL, OWL_SEAR, PEREGRIN, PUFFIN, REDSHANK, ROBIN, SHRIKE_R.

Synthworks is keyboard specific and is available for the following keyboards:- Kawai K1 PEEKS AND POKES MUSIC SHOW 7 - A collection of 8 modules with accompanying pictures from the Amiga. The quality is very good as you would expect. You get stereo sound if you have an STE. THE DESKTOP COMPANION by Dave Ashbury - A handy ACC (can also be run as a PRG) which was designed to enhance the use of First Word/Wordplus. It lets you copy, rename, delete or touch files, create a folder, format a disk, set/display a Desktop clock, grab a snapshot of the screen or convert files into pure ASCII (i.e. remove those control characters which trip up First Word/Wordplus). It can even create ASCII listings of the files in any directory. DJ_WWRTR - A printer driver which lets you use an HP Deskjet with Timeworks Word Writer. ESSAY V2.00 by Patrick Ruiz - A very fast text editor. It is not GEM based but is both mouse and keyboard controlled. It supports powerful block and search functions, up to 10 place markers, up to 10 keyboard macros, allows you to define the text and background colour and load GDOS fonts. Not as fully featured as some but FASTER than everything else I"ve seen! FF2CRLF by Florian Diete - Converts an ASCII file which uses the FF code for page breaks, to use the CRLF method instead, enabling it to be printed out using a fixed number of lines per page. FWPTEX by Tom Hageman - A set of programs which convert 1st Word/Wordplus files to LaTeX or any other format (you define the conversion rules) or convert ASCII files to WP format. There"s also an alternative to 1st Word"s printer installer. The conversion is actually done by the printer driver which outputs the converted file to disk rather than printer. A knowledge of C is required in order to set up the PRINTER.CFG files. LIB_RTF V3.00 by Vincent Godefroy - Converts Le Redacteur text files into RTF format. You can even specify which fonts you wish to use in your converted RTF files.

Really useful if a program reports that a file is of the wrong type Whatis will tell you exactly what type of file it is It handles WP files executable files archived files picture files compressed executables resource files DTP files and much more. ICDRAW v1.42 by Dr Bobware - Now you can finally edit those 16 colour Desktop icons on your Falcon. In fact you can create brand new ones or add some from the 101 which are supplied on disk. This is a very well presented icon editor which features many of the tools you would expect to find in a commercial program. It is designed to load in your standard DESKICON.RSC file for editing but can also accept icons from any RSC file containing 16 colour icons and it can import ICO files from MS Windows on the PC. A Quality piece of Shareware. RSC_XPAND v1.01 - Expands the size of your DESKICON.RSC file in order to make room for you to add extra icons. ICON PAGER V1.02 - Displays all ICDRAW icons in a specified folder and lets you page through them. WICOPAGE v1.02 - Displays all 32x32 MS Windows icons in a specified folder and lets you page through them. ST GUIDE v1.5E - Probably the best Hypertext clone around. Like all the others it reads in a text file and highlights keywords. These can be clicked to take you to linked areas of the document. You can page back and forth and cross reference from one topic to another. ST Guide scores over the competition in many ways. It can be run as a program or ACC and handles graphics are well as text. It comes with a limited amount of C source code and a utility to convert any ASCII file into the required format so that you can create your own Hypertext documents. It is Freeware it s extensively documented and it s a complete implementation. Now in English. E_DICT 95 by Charles Edwards - A German to English translation program with a difference. Having looked at the available German/English translation programs when translating the main manual for GEM-View the author of E_DICT found them less helpful than he had hoped. He has devised E_Dict in such a manner that the computer s speed in looking up words in an Atari oriented onboard dictionary is complemented by the user s sense of context in deciding which of the displayed definitions will be included in the output English text. Another thing which makes E_DICT different is that it does not contain a massive dictionary. Instead it handles the most commonly used words as well as many German technical terms. This Shareware version only gives translations on the first 1000 characters within the file. The registered version handles translations of any length. ST NEWS 6.1 - The second 'undead' issue, finished on 20th April 1991. This issue is dedicated to the ST News International Christmas Coding Convention held in December 1990. The convention was attended by over 120 demo coders from throughout the world. It details each and every day of the event and makes excellent reading. Also on disk are 10 short demos created at the convention and a playable demo of Jeff Minter's Defender II. Other articles in this issue include a column by Jeff Minter, 4 reviews and 3 hidden articles. OASES formerly OMEn V3.39 by Esquimalt Digital Canada - Yet another multi-tasking operating system for Atari computers. However this one is unique in many ways. It totally replaces TOS and GEM with its own window based system which takes a little getting used to. OASES itself is one of the smallest multi-tasking systems around due to the fact that it is written in 100 assembler. It is therefore very economical by way of memory consumption making it possible for you to multi-task small programs on a 1Mb Falcon Not only is OASES a nice and easy to use operating system it is also portable across hardware platforms. OASES is also available for the Apple Macintosh with PC and Amiga versions currently under development and more platforms likely to be added in the future. A program written for OASES on the Falcon will run faultlessly under OASES on any machine Please note that OASES does not run GEM programs directly but it is possible to write OASES programs or convert GEM ones using the OASES Software Development Package also on disk. Several OASES programs including a sector editor memory editor word processor digitiser needs Vidi ST text converter OASES to/from ASCII RTF or HTML picture converter OASES Bitmap to/from BMP TGA or Degas and a few other useful utilities are supplied with the package. Further OASES software will be added to our collection as it becomes available. This demo version does not allow you to save files exceeding 1K in length but is otherwise fully usable. To use the system seriously you will have to order the licenced version which comes complete with an extensive manual on disk. It is available directly from Floppyshop. See PRODUCTS section for more details. OASES SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT v1.52 by Esquimalt Digital - The full 3 disk version allows you to write your own OASES software or adapt your existing code to make it compatible with OASES. OASES programs written and compiled on the Falcon will run under OASES on the Amiga Mac and PC without modification. The disk comprises of the full all 12 chapters programmers manual the system equates file and some example source code. This disk is distributed on a Shareware type basis and it is essential that developers register in order to receive continued support and ensure the further development of the system. You can purchase the registered version which is a three disk set with lots of extras including a full assember C compiler and Forth assembler directly from Floppyshop. See the PRODUCTS section for more details. CRYSTAL V1.58 by Ulrich Kaiser - A highly portable GEM library for use with GEM and Modula 2 systems running under PC-DOS GEMDOS FlexOS and UNIX. The differences between machines is taken care of by the GNU C preprocessor which is included with the package. It is set up to be run using the MUPFEL CLI from Gemini on FALC.5019 although the scripts could be adapted for other CLIs. Some of the latest improvements include support for SpeedoGDOS implementation of NVDI s off screen feature support for Multi-TOS MagiC v3.0 WinX AES >4.0 3D look on AES > 4.0 iconification and lots of bug fixes. Please note that this distribution is for Atari computers only. The PC sources and executables are NOT included. Includes full C source. Soundtracker files with player program .

You will need PlaySID on MUS.5875 in order to listen to the music on this disk. ATARIPHILE #3 by The Falcon FacTT File - Rapidly establishing itself as the leading source of factual informative information on the Atari scene. This issue's news looks at the forthcoming Atari Shows, the launch of a new paper based mag - Atari Computing, CyberSTryder's new address, Floppyshop's price cuts, the delayed release of Papyrus 4 (English version), the imminent release of Kandinsky 2.5, the launch of the STAG user group, a new game for the STE and Falcon (Mole Mayhem), five new products from System Solutions and an offer of free Web space to user groups from Titan Designs. There's reviews of the AT Keys (attach a PC keyboard to your Atari) interface, Afterburner 040 (Falcon upgrade), NVDI 4, the Squest EZ-135 carry case and part one of an in-depth Positive Image review. Joe Connor gives us an introduction to Atari Computing and Frank Charlton looks at his time with ST Format, the closure of that mag and examines the future for Atari owners. All the regulars continue with the usual Adverts, more on Star Accessories, a continuation of Kev's look at File Selectors, a new series on POV Raytracer and the start of a regular feature on the on-line world, looking a BBS's, the Web and more. An impressive well presented publication. The CAB browser is needed to read AtariPhile but there was insufficient space on disk. If you don't have it's included on issues 1 & 2, also in this catalogue).

GEM MANAGER 1995/1996 V0.89 by Ivan Glauser - As the name suggests, this is a football manager program which runs in a GEM based shell. It handles English Premier League, Italian Division A and Swedish Allsvenskan. All teams and players are correct for the 1995/96 season but can be edited to suit. Similarly, the teams and their managers are also editable. You can even change the number of teams in the league, name of the league and other details. Like other manager type games, you can buy and sell players and have to avoid going bust! Statistics are given for player attributes, top scorers, league tables and much more. You also get the option to "see" the match. This gives you a running commentary (text not speech) throughout the match and you hear the noise of the crowd and the players on the pitch, all in glorious stereo! A well thought out football manager game which is multi-tasking friendly, runs in any resolution and is customisable to take account of player/manager changes, promotion/relegation and such like. PUSH 'N' SHOVE by Digi Tallis - Another Sokoban clone where you must push blocks to specific locations without boxing yourself in. This variant features different shapes of blocks which must be pushed into holes of the corresponding shape. As usual, it's only too easy to box yourself in. Just to complicate things, if there's a conveyor belt, you must travel in its predetermined direction and blocks cannot travel on conveyor belts. Multiple levels of fun in this unique adaptation of a popular theme. STEN #3 - This issue includes a tour of the Bath BBS, an adventure column, a demo column and a section full of lighthearted humour. The Desktop Publishing series continues as does the GFA Basic programming series. Other miscellaneous articles include an interview with Marc Young, a plug in memory upgrade for £39, a report from January's 16-Bit Fair and details of how to connect a PC to an ST for file transfer or playing games like Populous, Falcon and Prince on both computers. Also on disk is an excellent collection of PD software. DELUXE PAINT ANIMATIONS - These have been converted from FLI format on the PC. CHESHIRE - Watch the face of the Cheshire cat mystically appear, give a big grin and disappear just as spectacularly. CLOWNS - Watch a cartoonish clown facr rotate against a background picture of a human clown's face. FLASHLIT - The component parts of a torch assemble and illuminate the title of what looks like a training video. FLASHLIT needs 1 Meg. Clip Art in IMG format .

BURNING ILLUSION by DNT - This demo contains several screens which follow on from each other. Unfortunately you cannot skip screens. This is compensated for by the quality of the screens on offer. Digitised music plays throughout. Effects include filled vectors, vector bobs, vectors created with 'rock' sprites, fractal type effects, rasters, and objects created with dots, which bounce around the screen. Burning Illusion has a little bit of everything. NOT TOS 2.06 upwards. Sets of maps for Corruption, Fish!, Guild of Thieves, Jinxter, Leisure Suit Larry I, II & III and The Pawn, plus programs to show & print them. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are ATMOSPHR, CRUSADE, THUNDRBR. TCB Tracker modules with player program .

THE JAGUAR DEMO by PB Productions - Starts off by displaying the Jaguar logo followed by a digitised picture of the games console itself. It then proceeds to show you 14 different screenshots from the first batch of Jaguar games in production. Each picture fades remarkably smoothly to the next an effect which really must be seen. The music which plays throughout is also of excellent quality. The demo ends with the obligatory scroller which is displayed against a constantly changing plasma effect. THE LAME DEMO by An Cool of TCB - This one is well named in my opinion but you re entitled to your own It starts off with a well drawn An Cool logo accompanied by some techno/rap type music. Press Space to enter the main demo. It consists of countless dots making up different formations and moving rapidly around the screen. The music for this part is even more uninspiring. Never mind it s a great demo if you re a techno/rap fan. Both demos need 4 Meg and are for RGB monitors or TV s only. The Enigma Sadness Demo by Axxept from Belgium - Full screen 512 colour accompanying sample and scrolltext. Gives extra colours and better sound on the STE. An impressive piece of work. Needs 1 Meg. BOOT EDITOR V8.0 by GEn & Wax - A highly polished bootsector customiser. It lets you install one of six custom bootsectors (plasma, fractal etc) onto your disk. You can also store any bootsector in its built- in database and integrate it with the vital data (tracks, sectors, sides etc) of any disk. The program also displays the contents of any bootsector, informs you whether or not it is executable and can even check for viruses. SUBSTATION LEVEL by Kenton Dalziel - A new level for Unique Developments' Substation. Please not that this is not a free standing program, merely a data file. It only works with the full version of Substation. VCR DOCTOR by Steve Dent - A diagnostics program for finding faults with video recorders. You simply select the make and model of your VCR and are given the first known fault for that model. Work your way through these until you come to the appropriate fault. The database covers dozens of makes and models of VCR along with countless common faults encountered by the author over many years of repairing them. VCR Doctor is not a step by step guide to repairing VCRs, merely an easy method of diagnosing what the fault it. Printout is supported to Epson and HP compatible printers. A fuller version with more VCR models and more faults, is available upon registration. REMOTE CONTROL by Donald Bork - CPX modules for controlling the HP Laserjet 4, 4P and 4L. They allow you to change the print quality, memory settings, page setup and font type and size, all things which cannot be done from the dip switches. The CPX's are in German but the doc is in English. Register for the English CPX's. Needs to be used with Xcontrol on UTL.3879. KATALOG MAKER v1.06 by Christoph Spengler - A tool for use with ST Guide (UTL.5557). Its purpose is to create a catalogue of all your hypertext files, essentially linking them all together from a main menu. It effectively replaces STOOL the cataloguing program supplied with ST Guide. IKARUS V0.23 - You manouvre your way around a 3D village with a large degree of control over the various interactive elements (such as cars, birds, colours etc). Explore the village or shoot down the flocks of birds. Multi-TOS compatible, acting as a welcome diversion from work in a multi-tasking environment. A strange program which defies any attempt to be categorised, it borders on virtual reality but lacks the headset! TT ONLY or Falcon with an FPU. SET CLIPBOARD by More Soft - Allows you to specify the directory to be used by all programs which support the GEM Clipboard, rather than it defaulting to C:\CLIPBRD. NEWDATE 3 by Lionel Ruiz - An Auto folder program which is the next best thing to a battery backed clock. Each time you set it, it saves your current settings to disk, so that you just need to adjust the date by one digit when you boot up each day, rather than having to go through the whole procedure again. SIG2GEM - Converts Signum fonts into GEM format for use with GDOS or That's Write. Moldemo - Demo of Molgraph by The ST Club. Antidote - A virus killer kit which can be used to detect & kill viruses. Bootspy - Checks your disks for viruses. Bank v2.1 - A cheque book balancer. Not TOS 1.4 or later. Cat - Prints, views & copies files. You can print a file using a header with the filename and date.

Top quality from a new British crew. Source code in STOS Basic included. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are MONST031 to MONST045. KEFTAL - Calculates the degradation of 16 million colours as RGB composition of graphics defined as percentages and angles of degradation. If that sounds confusing, put simply, this program allows you to create keftale graphics (plasma-like effects) like those on the Amiga. Although the graphics are in colour, Keftal itself requires a minimum resolution of 640x400 (on an ST this means high res or a graphics card).

FROM PICTS TO PARLIAMENT - As suggested by the title, the subject is historical. This 'Irreverent look at History' was written by Evelyn Mills and, as expected, must be something different.

POV RAY TRACE V2.2 (ST & TT VERSION) - This is the long awaited followup to POV Raytrace. Although raytracing is always slow, this version is much faster than its predecessor. As with the original, it is extensively documented and comes with source code and some file conversion utilities. New features include improved antialiasing, soft penumbral shadows for extended area lights, simplified torus syntax, three new pigment textures and support for phong shading. In addition, several hundred scenes are supplied for you to render yourself. These are grouped depending on the ability of user they are aimed at. Also included are a number of conversion programs which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones and spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects. For those of you who don't like using CLI's, we've included POVSHELL 1.5 by Dirk Klemms. This three disk set decompresses onto eight DS disks! LOOK 'N SEE v0.95 by Reiner Rosin - A very comprehensive file viewer. It allows you to load, view, save and print probably more file types than anything else available. Here's a few of its supported formats:- Monochrome - IMG, PAC, PCB, CRG, ZFAX, QFAX, COMA, Papyrus (PRN), Calamus (print to disk), Quicklink faxes and Junior Office faxes.

Fonts in GDOS (both Intel and Motorola variants), Signum 2 and Calamus formats can also be displayed and sound samples in CrazySound, Sample-Wizard and Totosound formats can be played. You can even peek around inside LZH and ZIP archives and uuencode/uudecode files! Look 'N See is intelligent in that it can even display (or play) data which has been saved using the wrong extender as it analyses the data rather than just relying on the file extension. Look 'N See is modular in construction and has been available in Germany for some time. Consequently there are a number of third party modules available (99 of which are included!) which allow you to load or post-process images, text and samples. A unique feature of this application is its ability to view 'virtual' files. In other words, it loads files which are too large to fit into the available memory, in sections. There's also a number of conversion modules which convert 1st Word, PostScript and ST Guide files to ASCII. Look 'N See can be installed as an application so that double-clicking an appropriate data file loads it directly into the package. It may also be run as a PRG or ACC (needs 4 Mb) and is fully Multi-TOS, MagiC, MagiCMac, Freedom, Selectric, XACC, AV_protocol, drag & drop and ICFS compatible! In addition, up to 7 external programs can be called if running as ACCs (or PRGs if multi- tasking) from within Look 'N See. Printing is supported via GDOS. This Shareware version reminds you that you have not registered and displays the second and subsequent images in greyscale. Apart from that it is fully functional. Look 'N See has around 250K of English docs on disk and includes ST Guide (UTL.5557) help. Needs 1 Mb (2 Mb if running as an ACC. PASCAL TO C CONVERTER V1.20 by David Gillespie - Executables and library files needed to convert Pascal source code into GNU C source. You will need to have a working GNU C/GNU C++ setup in order to use this disk. A number of Pascal examples and their C equivalents are included for comparative purposes. The program is so well designed that most C sources can be compiled without any alteration and those areas which are likely to require human intervention are clearly commented in the source! Needs 1 Mb. ANOTHER LOTTERY NUMBER GENERATOR V0.75 by Muscles - Described as a fun way to pick your lottery numbers. It starts off with a snappy intro then goes to main menu. On the Falcon you can alter the volume treble and bass settings for the samples. ALNG generates its numbers randomly and you can choose three methods by which to select them. The first displays a moving ball and you press any key to stop it rolling and reveal a number the second generates random lines of numbers again generated by pressing any key and selects the six most common numbers from all rows the third method involves firing at squares to reveal concealed numbers. ALNG adopts the fun approach rather than a scientific method. It s even more fun as you get stereo samples throughout. AUTOSWITCH V2.1 by Dobashi Hiroshi - A boot manager which displays up to 20 Auto folder programs and ACCs in a window. You can switch them on or off by selecting them with the mouse. Rather basic in features but useful if you just want to switch on/off the odd item. BETADOS V2.90 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - A replacement for Atari s CD-ROM driver for use with multi-tasking systems. It is fully compatible with MetaDOS but features improvements over it. In addition the CD-ROM drive may now be accessed via the U drive like any other device. BLITMODE by Levien van Zon - Allows you to switch between hardware using the blitter and software using the VDI blitting. NVDI switches off hardware blitting this program lets you switch it back on CYPATCH by Empty Head - Patches v2.1 of Cyber Paint to let it run reliably on the Falcon. Invaluable to everyone who has upgraded from an ST/STe. Includes assembler sources. DRAGFNTE V4 by Thomas Much - A drag and drop font selector for use with Magic. It lists all fonts currently installed under GDOS/SpeedoGDOS/NVDI and allows you to choose the point size and attribute for the selected font. It s then a case of dragging your selection into the open window of your document. Dragfnte only works with Magic alongside programs which understand the font protocol or are compatible with the Xacc 2 protocol. EXPORT by Dominique Bereziat - Converts Unix text to Atari format and vice versa. Includes C sources. EXT2.XFS V0.1.1 by Axel Kaiser - An extended file system driver for use with MiNT. It allows you to read data from hard drive partitions created using the Linux Ext2 file system. It does not let you write to these partitions merely read data from them and/or copy data off them. EXT2 requires an XHDI hard disk driver such as HDDriver and MiNT/Multi-TOS. CLOCKY V2.31 by Petr Stehlik - Displays a digital clock in the top right of your screen within the menu bar. It works in all resolutions and is compatible with some graphics cards too. Other features include the selection of international keyboard layouts support for deadkeys ALT ASCII code allows characters not on the keyboard to be entered mouse accelerator built-in screen saver ST High or Falcon only invert screen colours boot up a Mega STE at 16Mhz and more... A really useful multi- purpose Auto folder program which uses less than 5K of RAM CLOEN VS MOONSPEEDER - Designed as a sort of advert for Cloe Raytracer and the Moonspeeder game. It basically consists of a maze full of raytraced walls with many panels having the spacecraft from Moonspeeder mapped onto them. The spacecraft hovers over the landscape within the panel and rotates from time to time. You can move around the maze using the mouse. Needs 4 Mb. BOUND 5 - Another of those bouncy demos. This one features a picture of a cheetah emerging from the jungle and has a semi-transparent glass heart bouncing around the screen. The heart has the Moonspeeder spacecraft mapped onto it. RGB ONLY. THE TECHNO DEMO by NLC - A rather good rave/techno demo featuring stereo sound with fast and furious graphics. The best of these is a silhouette of a dancer who moves in time to the music while the screen is flashing. At the same time as this is happening, there's a rotating chequered pattern pulsating in the background. Other effects include spotlights, lazers, drums and spinning text. Perhaps one of the best rave/techno demos around. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. Z-NET ISSUES 499, 500, 501, 502 and GENIE LAMP ISSUES 328 & 329 - Genie Lamp is almost entirely filled with bargains for various Atari machines. Many items are second hand but there are some deals on new Atari hardware too. There's a few new items in it too. Amongst the Z-NET issues are such articles as a comparison between the effectiveness of ZIP and Lh5 compressions, 20 questions with Atari and details of Raystart, Megatype, Legends Of Valour, Gemulator v3, Datalite v2, DigiTape and DigiTape light. There's also a look at Epson's latest printers, the LQ 570+ and AP5000+, details of the Nova graphics card, news of Sega's new game rating system, a new DSP chip from Motorola, and also news of a new cordless mouse.

CD BASE by Dolphin Software - Yet another customised database for keeping track of your audio CD collection. This is undoubtedly one of the more polished ones both in terms of appearance and in ease of use. There's no drop down menus, just a few boxes to click onto to enter new data or search an existing file. Includes fast powerful wildcard searches and outputs to Epson, Canon and HP printers. Data stored includes CD title, artist, song title, track number, track length, year of recording, your personal rating etc. This Shareware version limits you to 10 CD's, 150 tracks and 35 artists. The registered version supports up to 210 CDs per floppy disk or 910 if using a hard drive. The artists and tracks supported run into thousands! HOT PATH SETTER 3 by John Eidsvoog and Charles F Johnson - A useful program which simplifies the process of relocating installed pathnames in HOTWIRE config files after you have moved the files. It also performs an automatic conversion of HOTWIRE v1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 files to v1.4 standard. HOTSWITCH by John Eidsvoog - Lets you switch resolution using a simple keypress when running HOTWIRE. It supports the use of different DESKTOP.INFs and HOTWIRE config files. It also performs a clean reboot (by shutting down ACCSs legally) so as not to crash ACCs when changing resolution, like GEM often does. Obviously you need Codehead's HOTWIRE in order to make use of these two programs. HOT SAVER V1.1 by John Eidsvoog - A screen saver designed for use with HOTWIRE, although it also runs without it. It has lots of options like setting of idle time, animation, watching various ports (or other events) for activity and much more. LOAD IT by Martin Howard - Allows you to specify a file (or files) to automatically copy from Drive A to any other destination (usually a Ramdisk) on boot up. ED HAK ICON - A NeoDesk v3 or 4 icon for the ACC based text editor Ed Hak. XUFSL V1.05 by Stefan Rogel - A universal font selector for use with GDOS, SpeedoGDOS and NVDI (v3 or higher). It allows fonts to be easily selected from a pop-up GEM window in applications which support the extended universal font selector protocols. Very well presented product with lots of user-definable settings. All in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. MS PAC - A fast action multi-level Pacman clone. Great graphics, animation and sound but you have to be quick with the joystick! Great fun. BOBBLE - Yet another Tetris clone but this one has yet more variations on the theme. The original shows its age comparing it to this one. KINGDOM - As a medieval ruler you have ten years to sort out the problems left by the previous monarch. You must decide how best to use your people and how wisely to spend your money and keep your subjects happy. LOBBER - A two player game, the object of which is to select the correct velocity and elevation for a shell fired from your gun. YAHTZEE - Computer version of the well known dice game. For up to six players. FIREFORCE by Trigon - An arcade adventure which draws influences from both Dungeon Master and Alien but with a Doom-esque sort of feel to it. You play the part of a Space Marine on a mission to eliminate a criminal organisation known as The Red Hordes. As you would expect, this game is based around wanton destruction. Shoot everything that moves and run for it if your shots are doing no good! There are lots of objects to collect and use, doors to open and dead ends to avoid. A unique feature of Fireforce is its support for up to three players participating simultaneously, either cooperatively or against each other. Alternatively one player can control up to three marines. Control is by joystick, keyboard or Jaguar joypad and you can save your game at any time. The game features DMA sound if running on an STE (but is STFM compatible). You progress from one level to the next by killing all the monsters (or your friend/s if in dual mode) or finding the exit. You have several weapons at your disposal all of which have their stengths and weaknesses. This Shareware version lets you play 3 full levels chosen randomly from 15 (each of which can consist of several floors), the full version has 42. The full version also features three different scenarios and a level editor. Fireforce needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. UPGRADE PATCHES - The programs on this disk will allow you to upgrade Diamond Edge from v1.03 and v1.04 to v1.10. If you have a version of Diamond Edge prior to v1.03, you'll need UTL.3763 as well so that you can upgrade to v1.03 before running these patches. The programs on this disk are only upgrade patches and are only of use if you have an original of these programs. A2LSWTC2 - Converts LHArc archives to ARC format and vice versa. Really useful if you like to have all your files archived in the same format. Obviously you need both the archivers as well in order to use this conversion utility. ARC2LZH3 - Allows you to convert entire directories of LHArc archives to ARC format and vice versa. You can also extract the files from the archives test archives list their contents and create self extracting LZH files or convert self extracting LZH s back into normal archives. You obviously need the relevant archivers and self-extracting conversion programs as well. ARJPACK - A nice easy to use version of ARJ one of the common packers on the PC. Although there s an Unarj program on the ST this is probably the first to create ARJ archives. AHDI2IDE - A patch program which identifies an IDE drive and allows you to format it to AHDI specifications I think it s all in French . C and assembler source included. BARCODE - Generates barcodes using a Panasonic video recorder and barcode readers. The docs are in German so it s difficult to work out just how it operates. BOOT TOS - Allows you to boot up a disk based version of TOS probably 4.04 or 4.92 from hard disk instead of floppy. BOXKITE V1.61 - A replacement file selector which is very similar to Selectric. Boxkite offers most of the Desktop s standard functions copy move delete rename etc from the file selector supports long filenames under MinixFS has keyboard shortcuts pop up menus and much more. In addition the file selector can be resized like a window to display more or less info on the files. CACHE OUT - Lets you enable or disable the cache. Very useful when run as an ACC. CHOOSE INF - Runs from an Auto folder and lets you choose which NEWDESK.INF to boot up with. DUPLICATION MASTER V1.13 - A very good disk copier. It reads the source disk and allows you to make as many copies as you like. It also formats disks. Its strongest feature is that it can save out the disk s in a single file and restore it again at a later date. It makes it useful for storing backups on hard drive and restoring them quickly. FLC_BOOT - Writes an executable bootsector to a floppy which restores the non-volatile RAM settings to their factory defaults. FUSS V1.0 - A screen grabber program which runs in any resolution. Simply hit ALT HELP after installation and the screen will be saled to disk. A viewer program is included and there s info on the file format used. Docs in French. GFA PTCH - Various patches and bug fixes for the GFA compiler interpreter and libraries from v3.0 to v3.6. GEMSPOOL V3.3 - A printer spooler with a difference. Rather than set aside an area of memory to feed the printer it actually writes the file to disk and feeds that to the printer. The benefit is that very little memory is consumed and the spooler obviously survives a system crash. This Shareware version has several limitations. Well worth registering. NVR_CTRL - Resets your non-volatile RAM to the factory presets. Simply click onto the relevant country for the Desktop and keyboard configurations. OUT2LOD - Converts OUT format DSP code produced by some DSP assemblers into the LOD format used on the Falcon. U2D - Converts Unix ASCII files into DOS format i.e. makes them readable on an Atari. OVERCADR v1.4x - An ACC which lets you grab hold of the screen display and move it around the monitor Its purpose seems to be to let you line up the screen display so that it is not disappearing off the top bottom or sides of the monitor. Your settings can be saved back in a PRG file which when placed in an Auto folder ensures that the screen is located correctly on the monitor each time you boot up. Especially handy for lining up the display on monitors which do not have external adjusters. PC_MOUSE - Allows you to use a PC mouse with a 9-pin D type connector on your Falcon. SM BLASTER - Gives SM124/125/144 monitor owners a greater resolution on the Falcon. Instead of the normal 400 lines deep you can get up to 560 without interlace or 1120 with interlace It also supports a virtual screen manager so the screen can be any size subject to memory. TAV_OVR - Yet another program for putting your Falcon into overscan mode. VIDEL - Displays the default settings of your video chip and allows you to tamper with them to find the maximum resolution your monitor can handle. Really more of a programmer s tool than anything else. VMEM 1.1 - Virtual memory driver which works on any Atari. It operates by setting up a swap file on disk and a buffer in memory and paging information between them. Full source code in Pure C and assembler is included. It appears that it only works if you are running applications which support it hence the inclusion of the source code. The German docs are a bit cryptic to understand but there is a short doc in English which explains what it s all about. STOSSER Issue 2 (May 1993) - The authors of STOSSER promised a monthly disk magazine for STOS users and this is the May issue to prove it! This issue has a different interface from issue 1 and consists of a menu of articles, each of which has a number that has to be pressed on the keyboard in order to read the article. The document displayer uses quite an original method of automatically smoothly scrolling the file up the screen. The user can pause the scrolling if he/she gets behind with the scroller's speed. Highlights consist of an article about viruses and a piece on hard drives. The regular columns, learning STOS, understanding variables in STOS and the robotics column all continue. The reviews section is more lively than the first issue with features on Funschool 4 for under 5's, The Game Makers Manual, International Cricket, STOS sound effects accessory and the STOS Stars extension, the last two of which are on the disk. Again the disk is crammed with STOS code including disk copiers, sector editors, bootsector checkers, music, fonts and of course the source to last issues interface. A great second issue. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 24 - Seven more 256 colour animations from the PC. A player program is supplied. 6CYL - An animation of the pistons in a car s engine at work. DINOSAUR - A Tyrannasaurus Rex strolls across your screen turning his head and gnashing his teeth as he goes. F14 - A rotating cube in the centre of the screen displays an F14 fighter plane on alll sides and more fighters shoot across the screen in different directions. FRACZOOM - Watch countless fractal graphics display on screen at lightning fast speed. GLASS - A piece of glass moves across the screen magnifying the area beneath it as it goes. LUXOPC - An angle-poise lamp pushes a ball away then jumps on it and bounces towards the end of the table. The ball bounces over the edge followed by the lamp. SCISSORS - A pair of scissors opening and closing in a cutting motion. DINOSAUR GLASS and SCISSORS run on a 1 Meg machine. The others require 4 Meg. HP LASERJET 4L 4P PRINTER CONTROLLER v1.5 by Frank Storm - Lets you set up more or less all of the Laserjet s features from software. You can specify number of copies lines per page landscape or portrait automatic or manual feed 8 paper sizes economy mode on/off toner intensity international character set to be used and which of the eight inbuilt fonts you wish to use. In addition you can download soft fonts to the printer. There are 24 fonts supplied on disk and a further 15 on FNT.4802. Multi-TOS compatible. We have translated the menus into English and there s a translated Help file from an earlier version on disk. The docs are in German but as its a GEM program you won t need them anyway. Fonts on this disk are PR07RLG PR10BLG PR10ILG PR10RLG HPRIL10B HPRIL10I HPRIL10N HPRIL12B HPRIL12I HPRIL12N AI012AAA AI014AAA AI018AAA AI020AAA APPLE24 BC300RPN BE018N00 CANDY23 CARTOON CEN60 CHA16 CHAN12 CORNET18 DING9. NOSTRAM - A Shareware game from Powerfist. This is a platform and ladders type game where your quest is to recover five crystals hidden somewhere within a giant monolith. You can gain money, power ups and keys to aid your task, but a variety of creatures are out to stop you. Great graphics, highly recommended. GRIDCROSS By Tony Greenwood - Another two player game, in which each player begins at the opposite side of a grid and advances across the grid by correctly solving puzzles, tests and challenges. Different coloured squares on the grid offer different types of puzzle. LOCATION UNIVERSE 2 - Again by Powerfist, but this time written using SEUCK. You must blast anything that moves whilst trying not to fly into alien craft. NEWSDISK CREATOR V2.1 by Craig Brown - This program allows you to create your own disk mags. An example disk mag by the author is on DMG.3604C. The results are surprisingly good for a DIY type program and a few useful utilities are included on the disk too. Essentially you get everything that you need to create that disk mag you've always wanted to produce. Although this creator programs needs 1 Meg, you can create disk mags which only need 512k if you're careful. Colour only and NOT TOS 2 upwards. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 7 - Contains the following fonts:- FORTUNE, FORTUNE ITALIC, FORTUNE BOLD, FORTUNE BOLD ITALIC, FORTUNE LIGHT, FORTUNE 2, FORTUNE 2 ITALIC, FORTUNE LIGHT ITALIC, FORTUNE BLACK, FORTUNE X-BOLD, FORTUNE X-BOLD ITALIC, FRANCIS GOTHIC, FRANCIS GOTHIC ITALIC, FRANCIS GOTHIC BOLD, FRANCIS GOTHIC BOLD ITALIC, FRANCIS GOTHIC HEAVY, FRANCIS GOTHIC HEAVY, FREEHAND SCRIPT, GALLIA, GLAOIZR, GLAOIZR ITALIC. AENIGMATICA'S GENESYS 82 TRACK REMIX DEMO - 6 demos in one use F1 - F6 to access them. Double sided disk. Contains a fair amount of bad language. Do not buy this disk if you are likely to be offended. Formerly part of the BUDGIE UK range. WDSpell by Jeremy Hughes . Includes a spell checker, word counter and dictionary editor. Although the dictionary is small (6000 words) it can be easily added to and is simple to use. It will check 1st Word or ASCII files. Very well documented. Also on disk is another less sophisticated spell checker, a program to convert WP files to ASCII and a text editor similar to micro emacs. Folded - a folding editor which can also be used as an outliner. ST_Page - a fast and friendly text editor. Word tryker - an excellent program originating from Denmark which prints out a 1st Word/1st Word Plus document in various fonts. The fonts must have been created using Tegnedit font editor which is included on the disk. These fonts are suitable for most 9-pin printers. You can even create your own fonts using Tegnedit. Although Wordtryker will run in medium or high res, Tegnedit can only be used in high res (but will run with the mono emulator). Letters - prints out a line of text in large characters. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are 1STNATL, 7UP, AMALO, AMX, AW, BANKO, BD, BURGCHEF, C, CADI-2,CADI-3, CADILLAC, CANADAR, CHEVRON, CHEVY, CITGO, CLARK, COKE, CRUSH, DAIRYQ, DATSUN2, DEERROCK, DINERS, DRPEPPER, DUNKDONU, DUPONT, DX, EFHUTTON, ESSO, ALLGNITE, BADGE, BARBARA, BELL, BILO1, BILO3, BILO4, BILO7, BILO8, BILO11, BILO12, BILO14, BILO18, BILO19, BILO20, BLACKCAT1, BUCKS1, CANDLE, CLIP154, CLIPART, PICTURE, STRIP_20, XMASTREE, XMAS, ST_NICK, SNOWMAN, SANTA, TENNIS, STRIKE!, SCUBA, PITCHER, PIGSKIN, FORE!, FOOTBALL, BULLSEYE, BOWLER, BEACH, BATTER, BADMINT, ANGLER, LION_ART, DRAGON_1, CAT, HOUSE27, HOUSE28, HOUSE29, HOUSE30, HORSES, COUGAR, ANIMALS, WREATH, WITCH, WITCH3, WITCH2, ROSE1, ROSE, ORNMENT5, SEXY, PIGOUT!, WORKMAN. LOVE'S FIERY RAPTURE - A text adventure which is a parody on romantic novels. It could lead to the perfect date! This adventure is for females only! SUSAN - An adult text based adventure game, with Susan being the object of your desires. ADULT only. CHAOS CALC 2 - A rather fast Mandelbrot generator. This one lets you zoom almost into infinity. Although CC2 is powerful as it stands, registered users get a number of extras. The program is GEM based and the instructions are very straightforward. A dozen pre-defined Mandelbrot sets are included on disk. FRACTAL JOURNEY - This fractal generator supports both Mandelbrot and Julia sets. It creates a full screen fractal in just a few seconds and is capable of generating animations. 24-bit true colour RAW files can be created. These take ages to create and are written to disk since your ST can't display them. They are intended for use with PhotoChrome on ART.3303. FRACTGEN V1.0 - Generates fractal graphics using a number of selected algorythms applied to any of the six available fractal types. You can zoom in to an almost infinite degree. It recalculates the zoomed area by representing it in a blockish fashion like an art package does, then smoothing it off using your chosen algorythm. The results are very detailed and once again the only criticism is the inability to save in a sensible format. A maths coprocessor can be used to speed things up even further. MDL V1.0 - Allows you to run type 1 and 2, DL animations files on mono displays. I'm not sure which programs produce DL files, but full C source for ST and Unix systems is included. PIC MON V1.1 - If you are in a package which will not allow you to load in a particular format of picture, this program may be what you need. It supports NEO and Degas (PI? and PC?) formats and allows pictures to be loaded into a different resolution or into a package which does not support the relevant format (e.g. compressed Degas files). You can also double-click any Degas or Neo file of any resolution and show or print it from the Desktop. VIEW ST/TT - Allows you to view TGA, RAW, IMG, XIMG, IFF (including HAM), GIF 87a, SPC, SPU, PI?, PC?, NEO, ART or DOO pictures quickly and easily on an ST or TT. The colours are reduced to fit those of the available resolution if appropriate. The images can also be saved out in their converted state in Degas or QRT format. WATCH IT V1.0A - Displays GIF pictures in a GEM window. It runs in any resolution, reducing colours as necessary, and is Multi-TOS compatible. PANDORA - A fully user configurable suite of programs intended to let you design and run your own BBS. Very comprehensive and compatible with the popular Fido Net format. THE BOX - A stand alone mail handling utility which can be used with Pandora. If required, The Box can act as the permanent front end of your BBS. Once again Fido Net compatible. THE BEWICK COLLECTION - A collection of 300 dpi and 400 dpi scans (in IMG format) of wood engravings created by master craftsman, Thomas Bewick. Files are HARVEST, HOGRIDER, LION, OWL,PICKBERY, PISSWALL, POLECAT, RABBIT, ROOK. GLASS BUTTOCK OF THARG by Ian Scott , author of Grandad and the Holey Vest - This is a strategy adventure game where you must guide your heroes around the land of Tharg, adding men to your own army and then fighting or avoiding bandits. The overall aim is to destroy the Glass Buttock and so restore the land to it's previous peaceful existence. As usual for an Ian Scott game, the graphics are breathtaking. Loosely based on the Spectrum and C64 game 'Lords Of Midnight'. Needs 1 meg. STEREO MASTER DEMO - Although this is intended to promote the product of the same name, it features superb sound and graphics (mostly by Radical Systemz). STatiST - Statistical analysis in graphic form. Can display as 2D, 3D, x-y, regression etc. Numeric data can be entered by hand or output from VIP spreadsheet. Many examples included. Program and (very good) manual from Germany but English language. Mono only but emulator included. B BASE 2 v1.5B - This database was the forerunner to the highly successful Supercard series from BWare. It is rather limited when compared to later versions but may be all you need, and with registration at only 5, it's well worth a look. SUPERCARD v1.31 - A fast, flexible and easy to use card index type database from BWare. Originally a commercial release, this program is Shareware and registered users can order other BWare products at substantial reductions. My TV repairman runs his business with version 1 and thinks it's brilliant - and HE paid full price for it, so this has to be a bargain! SUPERCARD v2.52 has also been released as Shareware and is also on disk. It is a major re-write and is much faster and more flexible than its predecessor. This latest version is much more comprehensive and ideally suited to anyone who wants a database which is fully featured as well as simple to use. This version has a few restrictions but the Shareware fee is very modest. Fully supports TT screen resolutions and can print to serial or parallel port. BANNER - outputs banner size print using Degas fonts (5 supplied on disk). BOOTINFO - reads the BIOS parameter block of a disk and displays useful information about the format of the disk. CLI - a command line interpreter which runs as an ACC. CPANEL - an improved control panel. DATE2DAY - a program that calculates which day of the week a selected date will fall on.

IMG_DEG - loads up IMG file and allows you to scroll through it and select the area to save as a Degas file. MENUSYS - select various options like set printer, format a disk, delete file, rename file, list file, delete empty folder, examine disk parameters etc. An all-purpose utility. MKRSC - at last, a PD resource construction program! You cannot edit existing RSC files, nor can you incorporate graphics into your own. What you can do is create your own RSC file (and its associated C header file) from scratch. Extensive documentation on disk. Pack2_4 - An updated version of the Automation packer which now works on all TOS versions. Signum Fonts for 24 pin printers . Some Hebrew, Japanese and Russian fonts included.

ICONS.RSC - 14 alternative icons for use on your Falcon s Desktop. Supplied in RSC format. EPRO 2.4A - Updates ExtenDOS Pro v2.3 2.3A or 2.4 to v2.4A. This is only a patch program and is no use to you unless you have an original of the appropriate version of ExtenDOS Pro. If your version is earlier than 2.3 we have other updaters from v2.1 upwards on FALC.5546. LEAGUE BOWLING SECRETARY V3 by Robert Johnson - As the name suggests this program assists your bowling club s secretary by keeping track of the schedule of forthcoming games and scores from past games. It handles a season of up to 60 weeks and a league with up to 40 teams each with between 1 and 5 players .

STD CODES V2.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with XControl which knows about all the new UK area dialing codes introduced in April 1995. You can type in the code to have the area displayed or vice versa. It also contains details of other non-geographic codes such as freephone local call charge mobile numbers and such like. There s even a facility which lets you alter the data yourself if the dialing codes ever change again START ME UP V7.00E by Thomas Much - Described as yet another reason why NOT to buy a PC SMU effectively brings the functionality of the Windows 95 start button to your Atari It opens a small window on screen which leads to a number of pop-up hierachical menus. These can lead to all your popular programs on your hard drive or can effectively replace the need for icons on the Desktop. No longer do you have to wade through nested folders to find a particular program. You even overcome the maximum number of icons on Desktop limitation. If that s not enough assuming your Desktop is AV compatible Thing Gemini No Desk etc you can also open directories copy/move/rename files and much more from within SMU. There s just one snag SMU is intended for use with MagiC v4 although it will work with Multi-TOS and N.AES too . SOKOBAN 2 - A puzzle game which involves pushing money around a grid in order to get it to a safe storage area. All movements are preformed using the keyboard.

Mini Run Demo by Tobias Richter on the Amiga . Converted to the ST by Radical Systemz. A fast action car chase on the highway. The screen area has been reduced to fit it into a 520! PICTURE TIME - A great program for young children. Choose a picture from a selection of 4 and paste images from a good selection onto same. Having stuck your funny men, geese, trees, cows etc; wherever you wish, the OUTLINE of the finished picture may be printed out for children to colour in themselves. Mouse controlled and Epson compatible. WEATHER TIME - A truly excellent piece of programming. This one is all about weather in the Michael Fish style! A map of Britain is provided with a complete collection of genuine weather icons available as stickers. Select from the weather bank on screen eg; clouds, rain, sun, gales, text, morning, afternoon, outlook rtc. Forecast the lot at any point on the map. Great fun for children. Maps may be cleared, saved to memory and printed (Epson compatible) or saved to disk and transferred to an art package for further transformations. Original and well recommended for any age group! SAMPLE TIME - Another happy piece of programmimg. This one is slightly more complicated for younger children but I am sure any adult will be happy to participate! Essentially, pictures are located in sequence boxes and sampled sounds can be added to each one. Create a sequence of dogs barking, geese doing their thing, sirens, people and so forth. The Manual explains all. Very attractively set out. All programs on this disk are by 4HJ. MANIC MINEFIELD by The Infamous Blood! - A top class Minesweeper clone. You can select the size of playing field, number of bombs, backdrop and so forth. Gameplay follows that of any other Minesweeper clone, in other words, you must uncover all the safe squares, avoiding being blown up by stepping on the mined ones. Manic Minefield runs on a 520 but you get the weird sampled sound effects if you've got 1 Mb or more! GEM AMIGO V1.0 by Warwick Allison - The ST port of the Unix port of the Amiga game AmiGO! It is essentially the board game GO played against the computer. It is very attractively presented in a nice GEM interface and is fully Multi-TOS compatible. Full C++ sources included but you'll need to know the rules of GO in order to play!

FAZE by Damien Jones - A simple screen saver which is installed in the AUTO folder. Uses only 34K of Ram and is easy to configure. Full docs included. FORMINT V2.3 by Christian Colson - An excellent disk formatter which runs under MultiTOS. It can format DOS compatible or extended disks and run in the background. French docs but program in English. Can replace the built-in Copy/Format dialog in Multi-TOS. MEMSPEED V1.0 by Torsten Lang - Checks the available bandwidth of the Ist level cache, the 2nd level cache and the mainboard memory. This is done for ST and TT memory areas as far as they are available and if there is enough free RAM. MULTICOPY by E G Richards - A nice easy to use disk copier.

If you are an STE owner it will allow you to mix 1024k simms and 256k simms to give 2.5 Megabytes of memory (not usually possible). Useful for compatibility testing when developing software and it also gets round the problem of programs that do not normally run on machines with more than 1 Mb. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are ALIEKOKS, ANNOUNCE, BETTON1, BIRDBOX, BLAWHITE, BREKGLAS, BTRCUPS, CATSNEST, CINDWEDD, CINERELA, COKAIDS, COKSHADO, COMPSHOP, DALMATIO, DDUCK, DOGBROLY, DOLLIES, EPHELUMP, EYES, FAIRIES, FEEDBIRD, FOXY, GIRAFFE2, HANDS, HIIPOMON, HIPPO, HORORTRA, HORSES, JUMPER, KENDODD, LIONRIDE, LOGS, MADGOAT, MADTIGER, MICE, MKELNER, MKELNER2, MONEY, MONEYBAG, MONKYWAT, MONONBRA, MOWGELEP, MOWGLI, NURSHEDS, OAKS, ONBED, ONIONS, OSTRYCAR, OUTPHONE, PENCIL, PENGSKAT, PENGUINS, PENLARGE, PILOW, PUDSEY, PULTAIL, SCLAUSE, SECRATRY, SLEIGH. BUGHUNT 2 By Paul Vincent - This Shareware game includes two introductory levels from the full version. Taking control of the hero, you are given several missions to accomplish (including the retrieving of a missing computer disk) in an attempt to remove invading aliens from the planet Earth. Smooth joystick control and an overhead view help to give a nice addictive feel to the game. Recommended. DRIP - A puzzle game where you must remove paint palettes by creating two of the same colour next to each other. You add drips of paint to make the palettes change colour. NOT TOS 2 upwards. ST Writer Elite v4.8 . This program will run in GEM or non-GEM mode. In GEM mode you now have full use of the mouse. You still see the formatting control codes as it is not yet WYSIWYG. Apart from that it is easily as good as 1st Word on WRD.17. Now STE and TT compatible and capable of running on machines with 68030 accelerator boards. Foreign versions are available on WRD.11. GUNSHIP - An incredibly smooth Cyber Paint animation of a helicopter gunship travelling through mountainous scenery. needs 2 Meg! PEEKS & POKES MUSIC DISK 5 - Titled the GEM-X SLIDESHOW. Each of the 7 excellent MOD files is accompanied by a rather naughty (but never revealing) pose of the chidren's cartoon character GEM! The sound quality is suberb (stereo if you have an STE) and the graphics are amusing. What will they think of next? AM-RADIO - Excellent data reference program (using Super Card V1.3) which contains an extensive listing of the location of local radio stations in the UK, plus full address, tel and fax numbers. Also included is listing of World Wide radio Stations and their locations. Last but not least is a full listing of operations and relevant frequencies between 1.6Mhz and 30Mhz, which will be of great interest to short wave radio users. IOSmail V0.89 by R Visscher - Very comprehensive mail tosser program package with full instructions and user manual included. TOSmail is a program that imports, exports, scans and crunches FidoNet mail and FidoNet compatible mail. TOSmail will import and create files as described in the file FIS- 0001. Only these type of files are supported by TOSmail. TXT-2-PRG V1.0 by M J Matts - A Shareware program which displays file lists by first converting the text to program files. ICE-PACK v2.4 (not included) is needed to pack the files. MISCELLANEOUS TEXT FILES - This disk contains some of the strangest text files I seen for some time now! It contains the complete text of the Maastricht Treaty, lots of info on 21mb Floptical Drives, the entire GIF 89a picture format programmer's reference guide and an explanation of LZW compression as used in GIF. This random selection continues with information on toad toxins, first aid and symptom spotting for snake venom poisoning! Finally perhaps the most useful file is the complete Protracker effect commands, explained. HELLGATE V1.50B by David Walters - A DOOM clone for the ST. This one closely follows the theme of the original, bearing in mind that it fits on a floppy disk and only needs 1Mb of RAM! Rather than fighting against a variety of monsters, your aim is to blast your way through a robot-infested colony based in Outer Space. The only rule in Hellgate is that you must blast everything that moves, kill or be killed. On your travels you can collect keys to gain access to locked areas of the complex, weapons, ammunition, armour and medi-packs can all be collected in order to assist you in your quest and help you live a little longer. Games can be saved at any time, so it's sensible to save at strategic points so you can resume from there as soon as you get killed. Reach the end of one level and its on to the next. Multiple users are supported (though you play one at a time), so each player can resume his own saved games. This Shareware version features three skill levels and three complete game levels. A number of other features are also disabled, though this release remains fully playable. A hard drive and 2Mb of RAM are recommended but Hellgate will run from floppy on a 1Mb system. If you have an STE, you get the stereo sound as well. CAPY by The YES Crew - Another Sokoban inspired game. As usual you must push blocks around the playing area and avoid blocking yourself in. In this variant there are no floor tiles in the spaces immediately next to the level exit and it is your job to fill them in with blocks so you can step on them to reach the exit. As with all Sokoban clones the first level is easy then you progress to more cryptic situations where a lot of thought is required in order to avoid boxing yourself in. This is one of the more challenging Sokoban games around and is sure to give hours weeks of fun. VGA ONLY Needs 4Mb. SWEET 16 by RONI Music - Despite its name, this is a 32 track Shareware sequencer with a respectable resolution of 192 PPQN. It is pattern based with an arrange list and patterns can be any length. Good editing functions are supported via a piano-roll type screen and an event page. A folder of 8 songs is included in its own .SNG format. Standard MID files can also be imported. Two versions are supplied, Sweet 16 Demo version, with save disabled, and Sweet 16 Lite, with save enabled but several other functions disabled. The full version is available on registration from UK based Hands On Software. PATCHPAD V1.0 by David Burden - An ACC which enables you to select one of 128 patches for each of 16 channels. Useful in conjunction with Sweet 16. GM_SLCTR v1.0 by Peter Bogner - General MIDI Sound Selector for the Korg 03R/W, Roland SC55 and U220. Unfortunately, both program and docs are in German. If you have one of these instruments it must be worth a try. All programs on this disk are MONO ONLY except for Sweet 16 Lite and the Sweet 16 Demo, both of which run in colour or mono. 70 SIGNUM FONTS for 24 pin printers . Some Hebrew Japanese and Russian fonts included. Fonts are ANTIKRO ANTROB_7 ANTROL_7 GRAPH1 GROTMIKR CHEMIE CHEMIE_1 CHEMIE_2 COMPUTER RUND_15 SYMBOLS HEBRAE HEBRFETT HEBRHELL HEBRPLUS HIRAKANA KATAKANA PHONETIK ALF_RUSS RUSS_1_D RUSS_2DD RUSS_2_D RUSS_2_M RUSS_3-G R_GROTEF R_GROT_4 R_MIKRO R_OUTLIN R_PINSEL R_QUAD_G R_QUAD_M TAST_2DD TAST_3G TAST_3R4 TAST_MIK TAST_OUT TAST_PIN TAST_Q_G TAST_Q_M TAST__1D TAST__2M ABC ALPINE ALTDEUT1 ALTGREI AMBER AMELIA ANNA ANTIK4U5 ANTIK_NP ANTIMIKR ANTIQUA ANTI_CAP ARTDEC24 AVANTGAR BEGEBRA BLOCK_GR BUBBLE BOCKLIN CHANTAL UNIVERS YUPPIE PRIS_11 PULSE QUADRATO QUADRO QUAD_GRS QUADMIC ROCO ROMISCH. 28 FONTS FOR USE IN CALAMUS DTP .

THE FAREWELL DEMO by Passion - Possibly the last demo from the French group Passion (although it's the first one in our collection!). It has seven screens and can be installed onto a hard disk. The screens follow on one from another, instead of using a menu. There is only one scroller in all seven screens which makes a pleasant change. The scroller differs from the usual ones in that it winds its way up the screen from the bottom to top. A couple of the screens have 3D objects which bounce around the screen. In one screen, they bounce about like a jelly, changing shape as they move around. The wire frame graphics also change shape in one of the screens, morphing from one shape to another. There is also a starfield screen, where the stars come toward you (eg Star Trek effect). You can alter the flight paths and altitude using a joystick. The Farewell Demo has a good selection of screens, pity there hadn't been a few more. STOSSER #18 SEPTEMBER 1994 - This issue sees the sad demise of a great diskmag. The STOSSER team have been an excellent source of information to all STOS users but there has not been enough feedback from the readers for them to be able to continue their work. STOSSER is gone but not forgotten and will have pride of place along with all the other great diskmags. This last issue goes out with an almighty bang! There's over 50 articles (which when unpacked total over 500k) which include tips for speeding up STOS, a look at the STOS compact accessory, the use of windows, a comparison between TV's and monitors and some hints and tips about your machine from Colin at GFF. There's an article by David Haylett on how to go about writing a game from scratch and the Missing Link, Extra and Basic tutorials continue. All the regulars like the Telegraph Pole, Problems, Letters, Hoo R Yoo, Contax and Adverts are there. Reviews include Cannons, Eclipse, Spot It, Stellar, Plonker (new commercial release) and Zuffers. There is also news of what is in store in the future for STOS users. Finally, there's a preview by Keefy of a hot NEW commercial game called H.E.R.O. Tony Greenwood has written this month's shell in such a way that you can use it for your own diskmag by simply changing the files in the data folder(including intro and menu pictures). WWW ACCESS PACK - A growing suite of Shareware and Freeware programs most of which have UK registration by different authors which allows Atari users to access the world wide web. It runs in any resolution and is a full graphic browser unlike Lynx. The official WWW package consists of STiK CAB CAB.OVL AntMail Telnet IRC Cache_Ed Weather Forecast Finger and a specially written setup program to install everything in the correct places on your hard drive and configured correctly for your own ISP. You ll need a hard drive and at least 1 Mb of memory to run this package. All are multi- tasking friendly and several of the component parts of this package can be running simultaneously under such a system. They also run reliably under single TOS. Here s a description of what s what. STiK v1.12 by Steve Adam now being maintained by Dan Ackerman - Consists of an Auto folder patch and ACC and provides the necessary network layer through which everything else works. It dials up your ISP logs you on and returns control to the system so that you can run the appropriate clients. Currently STiK and therefore this entire package only works if your Internet Service Provider ISP supports the SLIP protocol. PPP is not yet supported. COOL ATARI BROWSER v1.5 by Alexander Clauss a modified version of HTML Browser on COM.5232 is your Netscape clone which allows you to surf the Web. It is now fully compliant with all HTML 2 commands and many from the emerging HTML 3 standard. In its current form it offers most of the functionality of Netscape but without the memory overhead You can access cache and display the URLs either on-line of off-line and support for JPEG images as used by some sites on the Web is also included. Pages are cached to your hard drive and accessed from the hard drive the next time you need them to save on-line time only downloading un-cached pages. Obviously you can also read pages off-line. CAB can be configured for English French Spanish Swedish Italian or German. CAB.OVL v1.2904 by Tim Newsome now maintained by Dan Ackerman - This provides the on-line support for CAB. It invisibly links CAB into STiK to allow URLs to be accessed live rather than merely loaded from disk. IRC v0.90 by Steve Adam now being maintained by Lonny Pursell - Allows you to participate in Internet Relay Chat IRC . IRC is essentially a way of having live chats with lots of other computer users on-line. Everything happens in real time and you can be talking to several other users from all over the world simultaneously This latest version is GEM based and multi-tasking friendly. TELNET V1.0 by Jim Baumgardner - A Telnet client for use with STiK. Telnet allows you to log on to a computer on the Internet in a similar fashion to using a standard terminal emulator such as Connect to connect to a BBS and lets you wander around the system s directories as if it were directly connected to your own machine. This lets you effectively cross hardware platforms like using a virtual machine FINGER V1.30 by Lonny Pursell - A finger client for use with STiK. It allows you to obtain information about email addresses. Some servers give little information to the finger client others give masses Useful for finding someone s email address getting a list of all users who match a certain specification or even to check if you have mail waiting for you. STiK WEATHER FORECAST v0.3 by Jim Baumgardner and Dan Ackerman - When used in conjunction with STiK it gives the temperature barometer wind speed and humidity displayed both graphically and as text for any major US city. It even remembers the city you last requested data for and uses it as your default setting. Interestingly the authors are working on a system which will extend coverage to the rest of the world. ANTMAIL V0.79 by Dan Ackerman - A POP3 mail client for use with STiK. Translated into plain English it s an easy to use program which manages your email for you. It supports multiple users so several people using the same account. For example the_dog abcd.atari.com the_cat abcd.atari.com and the_budgie abcd.atari.com will all have separate mailboxes when using Antmail and incoming mail will be directed to the correct mailbox. It uses SMTP to send mail and POP3 to retreive it. More systems are converting to POP3 this could be a major feature. The main benefit of POP3 is that you ask for your mail when you want to download it rather than have it thrown at you as soon as you log on expensive at peak calling times . Antmail allows messages to be written on-line whiles away the time when you re in the middle of a big download or offline saves on the phone bill the rest of the time . Please note that Antmail won t work unless your ISP supports the POP3 protocol most do . WWW INSTALLER V1.00 by Manfred Ssykor - An easy to use program which installs everything in the right place on your hard drive. An especially useful feature is its ability to update individual programs in the pack without having to perform a full reinstallation. 68000 Assembler, ST Basic demos, Logo demos, Pascal demo, Forth 83 - fully working version. HP LASERJET 4L & 4P PRINTER CONTROLLER v1.5 by Frank Storm - Lets you set up more or less all of the Laserjet's features from software. You can specify number of copies, lines per page, landscape or portrait, automatic or manual feed, 8 paper sizes, economy mode on/off, toner intensity, international character set to be used and which of the eight inbuilt fonts you wish to use. In addition, you can download soft fonts to the printer. There are 24 fonts supplied on these disks and a further 15 on FNT.4802. Multi-TOS compatible. We have translated the menus and there's a translation of an old Help file from a previous version. The full docs are in German but, being GEM based, you won't need them! Fonts on these disks are PR07RLG, PR10BLG, PR10ILG, PR10RLG, HPRIL10B, HPRIL10I, HPRIL10N, HPRIL12B, HPRIL12I, HPRIL12N, AI012AAA, AI014AAA, AI018AAA, AI020AAA, APPLE24, BC300RPN, BE018N00, CANDY23, CARTOON, CEN60, CHA16, CHAN12, CORNET18, DING9.

A very highly specified word processor. Well documented on disk with the full manual available from CyberSTryder in the UK. Needs 1 Meg. TO DO V1.01 by Reiner Rosin - Described as an alternative to cluttering up your desk with bits of paper I allows you to assign lists of things to do. Each list can have as many items as you want and the individual items can be given a priority value from 1 to 3 and can be marked with a tick or removed when done. Lists can be output to screen printer or clipboard or edited at any time. Probably the best invention since Post-It notes Runs as a PRG or ACC. LISTFONT v2.1 by Mathew Carey - Outputs an ASCII listing of all fonts in a specified directory. It supports TrueType Calamus Calligrapher PostScript Types 1 3 GDOS SpeedoGDOS BitStream GhostScript PageStream and Compugraphic font formats. It outputs full pathname file type file name and full font name especially useful with SpeedoGDOS fonts where the filename bears no relationship to the font name. The output file is formatted in such a way as to be easily imported into most database programs. ADDRESS V2.20 by Carsten Setje-Eilers - A superb Shareware name and address database package. As soon as you load this one the presentation hits you right between the eyes It is very professionally designed and everything can be accessed via icons drop down menus or keyboard shortcuts. It allows you to perform recursive searches eg if more than one match is found on the first criteria it searches on the second then the third if appropriate . This can save a lot of time especially when looking through the Smiths Lots of search criteria are supported including the ability to search backwards or forwards find strings within words or whole words only and sort birthdays by date and/or age. Printout is supported via 1st Word printer drivers so you are almost certain to find a driver for your printer. Data can be exported to the GEM clipboard and you can even dial someone s telephone number direct from their record card if a modem is attached. Data can be imported or exported in ASCII format or directly to/from any application with supports the Xacc protocol. This version limits the number of entries register for the full version to remove the limitation. All in all one of the best electronic address books around. JPEG PICTURES - A collection of true colour pictures which have been compressed using JPEG. A viewer/slideshow program is supplied on disk. Files are COLUDS CONGYRO1 CUBE FACEMELT FACEWARP FIGLAND GKBILD GRDMING1 GRIDMING NEWSNAKE OBOLISK PAWN PAWN768 RACECAR RING SHAPE SHAPE2 SHOBEAD2 SHOBEAD3 SHOEMING SHOESGRD SHOESNCK TOCTHED TOMB TURNIP WATCHES3 BAMBINA CHRISTIE1 DONUTS GCOLUMN1 LTPNK-01 MOTO-PHO NLGT- 004. A hard drive and 4 Meg of memory are recommend due to the sheer size of some of the files when they decompress.

It automatically selects the appropriate sized font and page orientation in order to minimise paper consumption. DJBOTH will also allow you the option of printing your text using two columns and can produce A5 size booklets in much the same manner as Booker. HARLEKIN 500 - Two printer drivers which allow you to use the Deskjet 500 s internal fonts and apply various supported print options to your text. With them you can apply bold or italic attributes wrap around characters which fall past the edge of your paper print foreign characters perform a self test perform a reset and so on. In addition you can use the two inbuilt fonts at two different sizes. You need the desk accessory Harlekin in order to make use of these drivers. HP2XX - Reads in an HPGL ASCII source file and converts it to Metafont PCL for use on Deskjet PostScript IMG or PCX format. Rather tricky to use but it does the job. JETEMU V1.1 - A page preview program for Deskjets. It displays a PCL III file from disk to the screen in sections. It is handy for error checking before sending your data to the printer. Also if the Deskjet misbehaves it is more than likely due to corruption in the file and this program makes it easy to track down what part of your file is corrupt. MINIPRINT - Yet another of those programs which attempts to squeeze as much print onto a sheet of paper as possible. It supports two column printing landscape printing line numbering headers user tab settings setting of top and bottom margins different fonts and point sizes and much more. OUTBURST - Speeds up printing to HP printers by a factor of as much as 20 to 1 Written by the author of FPPRNT it even beats that incredibly fast patch.

HP_PRINT - Gives you access to all the Deskjet s capabilities including small font sizes landscape printing and two column printing. AUTOBUP - Allows you to archive hard drive backups. It doesn t carry out the backups themselves merely archives them. You need a copy of your preferred archiver to use this program. MINIDESK - Lets you create your own Desktop icons and place them on the Desktop. A sort of cut down version of Terradesk or KAOSDesk. This disk has just about every program you ll ever need to use a Deskjet or Laserjet on your ST. THE MAIN COURSE by The Hairy Pies - A conversion of The Nightbreed Show by Hatrick on the Amiga. This is a slideshow of gruesome faces, the type you'd never like to meet! A stereo soundtrack plays in the background and the pictures were converted to the STE using PhotChrome by Douglas Little. STE ONLY. Musical Slideshow - Sound and vision demo by the Amazing Cracking Conspiracy (ACC). This is their second demo. A four disk demo version of the excellent Dynacadd package . Includes extensive documentation and demo files. From DMC, creators of Calamus. The Save function is disabled in the demo version. Otherwise it is fully functional. These disks need at least 1 Meg. PHOENIX MANAGER from Application Systems Paris - A very advanced database program which includes countless powerful features. It is heavily icon based features movable windows and is Multi-TOS compatible. Regrettably all the text is in German. Your database record cards allow greater flexibility than most and graphics may even be displayed alongside them. Lots of statistical functions are built in along with context sensitive on- line help. Everything seems to be fully operational with the exception of save. Phoenix Manager runs in any resolution in 40 column mode it achives this by running inside a resizeable GEM window Needs a hard drive. DA S PICTURE - A usable demo of Digital Arts top of the range image processing software. It features floating toolboxes 8-bit masking and a host of features never before seen on an Atari. The special effects which can be achieved with this package are second to none. DA s Picture requires a resolution of 640x400 or better. All graphics are processed in true colour regardless of the resolution it is running in. TIF is the only graphic format supported by the software. The demo is fully functional with the exception that you cannot save your work and external modules cannot be loaded. Needs 4 Meg. FIX_GDOS by Dieter Fiebelkorn - This program fixes the problem with installed GDOS or AMSGDOS and any unclean programming which results in the infamous "Invalid GDOS Handle" error message. FIX_GDOS can be run from the AUTO folder or started from the Desktop. HD_PATCH by Wilfred Kilwinger - Allows you to edit the patchable variables of your Atari AHDI Hard Disk driver. Only AHDI versions 3.00 and above may be changed. HP_FONTS by Stig Norin - A selection of Shareware Fonts for use with the HP Deskjet. Fonts include Hebr_10, Arab_10, Estr_10 and many more. Also included are typeface and character set codes plus printer drivers for First Word Plus and Redacteur programs. HP_LJ4 by Donald Bork - A CPX to configure the HP LaserJet 4. It supports up to 5 storable configurations. LITT_NET by Dirk Woitha - A comprehensive networking program to connect Atari ST computers in a two_way network. Can be set up using the supplied configuration ACC. There's a short English translation included of the larger German docs. To use the program, you must always access the drive by using drive letter N (presumably for network). To access a different drive simply change it in the ACC and then click on N again. STIC V2.12 by Peter Matulat and Jurgen Arthofer - A Freeware EPROM programmer package. It was designed primarily for use as a replacement driver for the EPROM programmers produced by Dr Bahm GmbH (address given for kit of parts) but can communicate with other EPROM programmers using external modules and guidance is given on how to create your own. Although not included in the distribution, drivers for PL- Computerzubeher's RSEPROMMER and Maxon's Junior Prommer were under development when this package was released. STIC can read and copy ROMs and EPROMs as well as read an IMG created from a ROM image. In fact it can even create an IMG of your ROMs so that you can patch the system to suit and reblow it into fresh EPROMs. The software even allows the creation of patch files to help you do the job and supplies patches for TOS v1.4, 2.06 and 3.06! Files are split into low and high bytes by the software, although it can also handle already split files. Larger capacity EPROMs can also be programmed by using a special adaptor which is available from the authors. In fact the software can handle anything from 32K to 512K devices. STIC talks to EPROM programmers which connect to the serial port and it is perfectly possible that it might work with hardware from other computer platforms (eg; Mac or PC). Unfortunately both program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. UFO ST #1 by Lee Round - A welcome addition to the diskzine camp. As the name suggests, this publication is dedicated to UFOs and other related phenomena. UFO ST runs from a graphic based shell and there's plenty of sampled sounds and digitised pictures as you progress through the articles. There's some rather convincing pieces on the Rosswell incident in 1947 (how real is the footage of the alien autopsy?), Area 51 (are UFOs really located at this base?), Majestic 12 (were this US Government team really responsible for the recovery of Flying saucers) and other alleged coverups by the US Government. Photographs of UFOs and "aliens" are also included. Other features include a contacts list for organisations of interest to UFOlogists, a list of films which show UFO sightings, the A-Z of UFOlogy and Casefile, which looks at the occupants of UFOs. The author of UFO ST makes no claims as to the authenticity of the reports and photographs, he merely presents the reports (outlining inaccuracies in some cases) and leaves you to draw your own conclusions. A rather impressive first issue which really gets you thinking. Needs 1Mb. files with player program . Files are COMA, GOINGFAR and X-MEN. FROM PICTS TO PARLIAMENT (Part 2) - This continuation of an unusual but factual look at History by Evelyn Mills is the second disk in the series. Disk one is on EDU.3325. There are 3O Tiny screens full of drawings and humourous text (very accurate) covering the period from the reign of William the Conqueror to Henry III. If this can't make you raise a grin as you learn, then what will! It is a good idea to get both disks and build up the 'Irreverent look at History' as you go along. Highly recommended educationally and good fun. Works best in colour but will run in mono. A COLLECTION OF GAMES MOSTLY CREATED WITH THE SHOOT EM UP CONSTRUCTION KIT FROM THE ST .

The screens have the usual effects such as full screens, star fields (of various types), 3D shapes, sampled and chip music, and lots more. The Wild Boys' screen shows several effects at once. It has two lots of 3D blocks rotating in a ferris wheel like effect. There are also rotating stars and some other shapes on screen. Very impressive! Chaos also have a couple of screens including the main menu. There are also four screens which were coded in twenty four hours (or less). These are very good considering the time limit. The Untouchables' contribution begins with a nice sample and progresses to a chaos-like plasma effect.

Although there's an Unarj program on the ST, this is probably the first to create ARJ archives. F_SCALE - A Handy ACC for use with Calamus. It allows you to accurately re-size frames by calculating the new height or width, based upon the original size. The benefit of using this over the proportional resize icon is that it retains details of the original proportions just in case you need to revert back to them.

This month's only review is of PacifiST, a non-commercial ST emulator for the PC. It is currently in an early stage of development but is perhaps the most compatible as regards games, even running STOS based titles! There is of course the usual listing of Atari related companies, users groups, BBSs, Web pages, diskmags and more.... Written in HTML, you will need a copy of CAB (DMG.5556) or Webspace (COM.5899) in order to read Atari Times. 32K COLOR by Barry Orlando - A DIY project for modifying a standard STFM (should also work on an STE) which increases the colour palette from 512 colours to 32,768!

WARP Issue 3 - THE diskmag for Star Trek fans makes yet another appearance. Once again, you need 1 Mb to run the program, but the disk does include a depacker, so others can still access the files. Issue 3 features yet another brand new shell system, again programmed by Tony Greenwood of 'Stosser' fame. This time each article is represented by a nicely drawn picture of the Star Trek characters. You simply scroll through the faces and press SPACE to load the article. Article-wise, most of the regulars are there, although Keefy admits that contributions have been few. There are lists for DS9, the original series, movies and animated series, a history of ships called Enterprise, video reviews. Other features include the continuation of Super Dreadnought, part one of Darkest Days, some Q stories and an excellent Quantum Leap/Star Trek story. No Star Trek fan should be without this.

MUSIC FOR THE MASSES V by NPG - 9 excellent MOD files which are loaded from a main menu. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. Print Master Support Disk . Hundreds of icons for use within Print Master. Graphics libraries on this disk are A-Bat, Bat-Cad, Clo-Dip, Dir- Fat, Gir-How, Las-Mic, Mic-Osi, Ost_Pis. Also on disk are programs which convert graphics between Print Master and Degas formats. CHECK_M v1.0 by Kellis - Checks to see if you have mail at selected intervals from 2 to 120 minutes when you are on-line.

You must have the STENO text editor installed if running under TOS any text editor can be used if multi- tasking. Needs at least 1 Mb. COMPOTEL V1.E by Francis Pierson - A handy PRG or ACC for maintaining lists of telephone numbers. Any number of telephone numbers may be stored and dialed directly by selecting them from the list. There is also a dialpad which can be used manually to initiate voice or data calls via your modem. When running on a Falcon the dialing tones can be heard via the speaker on an ST they are just output directly to the modem. Unfortunately program and docs are in French but the program is easily understood. POPWATCH V2.42 by Gary Priest - Very similar to CHECK_M above . It is also for Internet use and requires that you have POP3 mail. It lets you check your mail without actually running your mailer software eg you could be browsing the Web with CAB . You can download selected items or even read portions of a message then decide whether or not to download it. Messages may be removed or left on the server. Downloaded messages are converted into the correct format for Oasis 1.xx Oasis 2 or Newsie as appropriate. You can even set up a KILL file to automatically delete junk mail from specified addresses. PURGE V1.2 by Phil Hough - For use with Oasis 1.35 and NOS it lets you automatically remove specified newsgroup articles. You can filter out articles whose subject line matches your config settings eg FS to eliminate for sale adverts or articles by individuals whose email address matches your specifications. An ideal way to weed out junk. AUTO DIALER V2 by JFA Software - Place it in your Auto folder and it will give you the option of logging onto the Net using STiK as soon as you boot up. Otherwise you can run it from the Desktop to dial your ISP without having to select the STiK ACC from the Desk menu. GIFMERGE V1.34 by Guido Flohr - Lets you create GIF animations as used on the Web.

In addition it translates ASCII characters above 128 into their html equivalents essential for our European friends. Program and docs in English and French. MURKS V1.05 by Christian Lehmann - Removes all unnecessary text from uuencoded files leaving only the coded part. Extra text eg messages attached to the uuencoded files often confuses uudecode programs. This program eliminates the problem. NET2CAB V1.02 by Mark Hammond - Converts bookmarks created by Netscape Navigator on PC or Mac into the correct format for use in CAB v1.5 s or above hotlist. PROBE HOUSE DIALER V1.4 by William Wong - An ACC based modem dialer. It lets you store up to 500 telephone numbers which can be easily accessed from within any GEM based program. You can use it to make telephone calls using the modem to do the dialing or to maintain a list of your favourite BBS numbers. Up to 25 characters can be used as a description for the number and the program works with all Hayes compatible modems. A search function is included you can set the baud rate for each entry and any dialing errors are reported. TABI v1.5 by Matthias Jaap - Lets you create tables for use in html files from ASCII tables which use commas semi-colons or tabulators as separators. The easiest way is to create your table in a spreadsheet. You can of course change the text colour background colour font size and cell alignment within the table. All this is done without requiring a knowledge of html Program and docs in English and German. DNSCACHE V1.0 by Gen Wax - Eliminates the dreaded resolving hosts message from CAB. If a host s address has already been resolved in the cache database this need not be done again and this step is bypassed thus saving time and money. Works with CAB Newsie and any other program which makes its connection to the Internet via STiK. T-MAIL SERIES 3 by Ben van Bokkem - A complete E-Mail/F-Mail/EchoMail/QMail replacement system for use with Turbo Board and QBBS systems although most functions also operate on other systems. It checks the user s data files for handles and priviledge flags and handles automatic deletion of messages and files at logoff gating to other networks and so forth. There is support for up to 10 sigs each of which can have from 20 to 80 echo bases. Lots more features too many to describe here . Extensively documented. STANFORD GRAPHICS - A collection of over 350 GIF images which have been designed specifically for use on Web pages. Quality varies but the best of these are of a very high standard and will add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise dull Web page. XLisp v2.1 . The complete implementation of the most commonly used language for utilising "Artificial Intelligence". Well documented on disk. FRANTICK DATA DISK - This disk is for STE owners with 2 Mb or more. It adds stereo DMA sound to Frantick on GAM.5415C. Please note that this is not a self-running game, merely a data disk for those of you lucky enough to have the memory to use it. STE ONLY. BASEBALL SIMULATOR by Eric Lindow - Rather than a football management game, this is a Baseball management game. Select your team, positions and a variety of different in-game tactics. You can put the game into auto mode to watch a series of one minute games (mainly designed for learning purposes) or play a fully managed 10-15 minute game in which you actually participate in order to affect the outcome. The choice is yours. The data files for four real American baseball teams is included on disk. BOX CAR V1.0 by Robert Quezada - A shoot 'em up car game written using the STOS 3D extension. It's a two player game played by modem or using two STs connected using a null modem cable. The aim is simple, using the missiles fitted to your car, you must blast your opponent into infinity! Throughout the game you can switch to one of 10 different views. Digitised speech and sound effects throughout. A great 3D game. BUBBLES MCGEE by David Tassone - A rather odd game in which you control a character inside a bubble! On the first level you must descend and feed the lizard three times without being hit by mines, the droids which lay the mines, or asteroids. Other levels present similar challenges. Not what you'd call easy! SQUARE CONNECT FOUR by William Rogers - A two player game played on a 7x6 grid. The aim is simple, you must connect up four of your coloured squares horizontally, vertically or diagonally whilst preventing your opponent from doing likewise.

CHEATS - A collection of oddments such as a 'walk through' Bard's Tale, a complete set of codes to Crystal Mines 2 and over 100 cheat codes/level codes/passwords etc for popular ST games. YOUR SECOND MANUAL TO THE ATARI ST V4 by Andreas Ramos - We have finally unearthed the text from a pre- publication version of this now out of print book. Although v5 (the printed version) is about twice the size and much more up to date, this remains an invaluable reference guide for new users. It tells you everything you need to know about the Atari ST and is aimed at the absolute beginner through to intermediate level. It explains everything in easy to understand relatively jargon free language with a generous dose of humour thrown in. It starts off where your user manual left off and progresses to give you a greater understanding of how everything works and introduces you to computer terminology, PD, BBS's and much more. Although this edition pre-dates even the STE (never mind the Falcon!) it retains its usefulness due to the similarities between all TOS based computers. Highly recommended. ATARI CD- ROM FAQ - A comprehensive document explaining everything you ever wanted to know about using a CD-ROM drive on your Atari. It also lists all available CD-ROM titles and associated driver software, giving mini-reviews on everything.

THE BLACK DEMO by The Black Cats - A great collection of 10 sub demos, selectable from a main menu. I should point out that demo 1 won't run on machines with more than 1 Meg and demo 7 won't run at 60hz. Assuming you don't have an American machine and don't have more than 1 Meg of memory, everything works great! ST NEWS 8.2 - Still going strong, Richard Karsmakers notches up his 35th issue in eight years! This issue's features include the Polish ST scene, the Atari Jaguar, a comprehensive software compatibility list for the Falcon, a survey of Falcon users and developers, the encyclopedia of disk magazines past and present, a list of TOS error numbers and their meanings and an article on the ST Book.

CALAMUS SL '96 - The very latest version (Jan '97) of Calamus SL. Like its predecessors this version is fully modular with the user purchasing additional modules if and when required. Calamus SL can create full colour pages and supports colour separation at the printout stage. You can work on up to 7 documents in memory at once and cut and paste data between them. All frame types are cached for greater speed. Features include the ability to create and assign master pages, create and save text style lists, expand compress and skew text, rotate and mirror frames, print parts of pages, define units of measurement for pages, fonts and lines, align frames to other frames and choose from three frame display modes (transparent, opaque and inverse). Although nominally mono only, Calamus SL will run on any ST/STE/TT/Falcon on a resolution of at least 640x400 pixels. This means that it will run with large screen monitors (and virtual screen emulators) in colour. This is a complete implementation of the program with the only restrictions being that you cannot save your work and that a watermark is printed on each page. This latest version is fully MagiCMac compatible, allows text to be scaled to the size of the frame, includes several new graphic import/export modules, includes printer drivers for the HP 660 and Stylus 2, features some improvements to the user interface and includes some new modules. You need to have 2 Mb of memory and a hard drive to run Calamus SL. The more memory and hard drive space, the better. Two disk set, £ 3.00 for set. MR DICE - A puzzle game. Rows of dice move down the screen and you must shoot them in the required order if you are to survive. THE MANAGER - A football manager game.

Use the joystick to shoot down attacking vessels as they approach and avoid the fireballs at the the side of the screen. THE TEX SPECTRUM DEMO - A TEX demo from the archives, but it's worth getting hold of. It features an excellent intro followed by a slideshow of over 20 Spectrum 512 pictures, mostly converted from the Amiga. As is usual for such things, you get a Mad Max tune playing throughout. EPI-LEPSIE by Parx Software - A very playable demo of this fun game. You control a smiley and must hop on to every unblocked square on each level in order to complete the level. The squares change colour once you ve passed over them and you are only allowed to backtrack a limited number of times. Just to complicate things you have a lot of squares and a timer to beat Things are easy on level one but then they start hotting up with bombs and other hazzards. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. CALL FSELECTOR V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX which calls up the GEM file selector (or your chosen replacement) from within any GEM based program. TDK DAILER V1.1/2.0 by Grab A Chair Software - Allows you to store up to six telephone numbers and dial them from your ST simply by holding the handset to the monitor speaker. You don't even need a modem! DIPS - A CPX which allows you to change the internal dipswitch settings in the Mega STE and TT. The selected settings always over-ride the hardware defaults. These dip switches control such things as high density and DMA sound support. DIPS only runs on the Mega STE or TT. ENHANCE EXTEND.SYS V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - Adds the name of SpeedoGDOS fonts as a commented line above their file name in the EXTEND.SYS file so that you can easily identify which file name relates to which font. Invaluable! HANDY_PL v1.4 by Richard Karsmakers - An ACC which has three functions. It allows you to call up an alternative file selector (if installed) from within any GEM program, informs you of the time and date, and lets you set up a password to prevent unauthorised use of your machine. Includes GFA source. HD FORMAT V2.01 by Thomas Muthmann - Allows you to format just about any type of disk. Supports 3.5" and 5.25" standard and extended formats in double density or high density. It even handles 40 track devices and allows you to specify the steprate for either drive. MS- DOS compatible bootsectors are also supported. Includes assembler source. HEADSTART V1.1 by Codehead Software - Allows you to Auto boot up to 128 programs (including GEM ones). Similar in concept to Startgem but much more flexible. As well as supporting the Auto booting of GEM programs on pre-TOS 1.4 systems, Headstart lets you overcome the limitation of only being able to Auto boot a single GEM program on TOS 1.4 and above. ICO2RSC v1.10 by Dirk Haun - Converts an entire directory of 16 colour 32x32 Windows ICO format icons into RSC files for use with TOS 2 upwards. It handles the conversion automatically and places a maximum of 64 icons in each RSC file. In addition, it generates a monochrome equivalent of each icon, making them suitable for use on pre TOS 4.xx systems. Naturally you require TOS 2 or later in order that the generated RSC files be of any use to you. All in German but program is obvious and we've done a RUF translation of the docs. KEYCODES V1.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX which lets you type in any key combination and displays its key scan code, shift state, and key ASCII code. These are displayed in decimal, hex and octal. KGB v1.0 by Merlin Hanson - Designed to 'ferret out' unwanted files and permanently delete them. Select a file and the first 15 lines of it will be displayed along with the file size and date of the most recent update. This should allow you to identify whether or not the file should be deleted. If you have a lot of unwanted files to purge, using KGB is much faster than checking, then deleting each one by hand! PROFLAG by Albert Moest - Allows you to inspect and change a program's header flags as used by Multi-TOS and TOS 1.4 upwards. You can set the fastload bit on/off, specify the use of alternative memory and set the Multi-TOS memory protection parameters. PUMPUP V1.0 by Claus Brod - A formatter which supports double density and high density 3.5" and 5.25" standard (MS-DOS) and extended formats. You can also change the number of sectors per cluster and the step rate. RTFACC V1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - Designed primarily for use with Atari Works, although it will also be of use with other packages which support the RTF format but not characters above ASCII 127 (HEX 7F). Simply specify an accented character by its hex code eg; 82 in an RTF file. Now run this program suitably renamed eg; RTFACC82.PRG and it will replace all occurrences of character 82 with . RUDE DOG VIEWER V1.0 by Sean Price - Yet another fast text viewer which can be installed as a replacement for GEM's in-built one. In addition to viewing files, it can also display Degas, NEO and Prism Paint images and ANSI text files, complete with support for text attributes. Rude Dog runs in medium or high res but will swap to low automatically if viewing a low res image file. SIO DRIVER V1.0 by John McCormack - Allows you to connect a 5.25" disk drive from an 8- bit Atari computer to your ST. You can use all your old 8-bit disk for blanks to give you extra storage capacity for your ST. What you cannot do is use the data on your old 8-bit disks (you need LAN.11 to do that!). Requires a special cable available from the author or you can use the one detailed in the Xformer II (LAN.11) docs. SQ_PATCH by Trevor Blight - Patches the GDOS NEC P6 driver (not included) to create an Epson Stylus 360 dpi driver. TAKE THIS v1.3 - A GTP program which helps automate repetitive command line entry into TTP programs. Simply type the program name and appropriate parameters into TakeThis and save the INF file. Now install the TakeThis with document type set to TTP and each time you double-click the appropriate TTP, TakeThis will load and pass the parameter to the TTP. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German although we've done a RUF translation of the docs. TINTACK V3.2 by Analysts United - A clone (presumably improved) of Pinhead which essentially performs the same function i.e. makes Auto folder programs and ACCs load much faster. There is also an updater program on disk which updates Pinhead 1.0 to Tintack 3.2. TTF-SPD 1.0 by Vincent Godefroy - A sort of boot manager for fonts. It scans your font directory and shows a listing of which True Type and SpeedoGDOS, allowing you to enable or disabled them with nothing more than a mouse click. If using NVDI 3, you can just rescan the fonts to have the changes take effect. With SpeedoGDOS you have to reboot. THE BEE FOROL DEMO by Sector One - A collection of 11 sub demos (2 are STE only) and a fully playable game. In fact one of the sub demos is a collection of small demos, each done in 20 lines of GFA Basic! The majority of demos are of an amazingly high standard and these two disks are well worth adding to your collection. This is a two disk set and both disks are required for the demo to run. The Intro drags on for about ten minutes but is worth watching once. Remember what the BIG Demo did with bombs, well this one follows a similar vein with the bee! Press the CONTROL key while BEEFOROL.PRG is loading to skip the intro. You need both disks for this demo to work correctly. THE BOURNEMOUTH CFN COLLECTION DISK 13 - Contains the following Modern Display Fonts:- AACHEN BOLD, AACHEN LIGHT, ADLIB, AIRBRUSH REVERSE, ALBERTA, ANTIC BOLD, ANTIC BOLD ITALIC, ANTIC THIN, ARCHITECT BOLD, ARCHITECT NORMAL, ARCITECTURA, ARCHITEXT BOLD, ARCHITEXT NORMAL, ARCHITEXT NORMAL ITALIC, ARCHITEXT ONE TYPE, ATHLETIC, AVION, BAKER BOOK, BEESWAX, BELLBOTTOM, CHICAGO, CHILIPEPPER EXTRA BOLD.

The package includes an installation utility to unpack it onto hard or floppy disk as a working system. (Ian is the guy who wrote the GEM libraries for Sozobon). Requires at least 1 Meg. PAPYRUS v5.11 - Probably the most exciting document processor since Calligrapher! As well as all the standard features, Papyrus supports multiple fonts (both its own format and SpeedoGDOS/NVDI) and is Multi-TOS compatible. Its features also include multiple rulers, multiple text styles within a document, graphic import and re-size to screen or printer and the ability to create tables easily.

A ROMAN MYSTERY by Jim Fanning (author of The History File and Death Of A President) - A three disk set designed to enhance your knowledge of Roman times. DISK 1 has a set of TN3 scanned images relating to Roman times which may be used in class for teaching or in DTP work. The TNY viewer on disk allows these to be viewed on colour or mono displays. DISK 2 is devised as a magazine disk with various odds & ends of documentation relating to The Roman Mystery. FORT & WALL are two other associated programs created using the 3D Construction Kit. These allow the user to roam around the fort and walls of Hadrian's Wall at Housesteads. HANGMAN is another program on this disk with 463 song titles in memory - ALL presumably related to Roman Britain! DISK 3 was written using the TCOS program of interactive graphics and descriptive material. It is intended for student use and quickly reaches conclusions related to a murder at Housesteads during the Roman occupation of the fort. Disks 2 and 3 are color only. Overall, the 3 disk set comprises an interesting collection of data which may be used freely in student projects. Two text adventures from a group called Adventions . These are in the same series as Unnkulian 2 on GAM.3145. Both games are written using the TADS development system (on GAM.187) and are set on the mysterious and often forbidding world of Unnkulia. UNNKULIA ZERO : THE SEARCH FOR AMANDA - You are the King's most trusted warrior, can you rescue the Lady Amanda from the clutches of the evil Unnkulians? UNNKULIA ONE-HALF : THE SALESMAN TRIUMPHANT - You play the part of a salesman, you must earn your fortune in the most inhospitable of places. MUMMY'S PLAYTIME by Silly Software - Deano makes his return with this highly amusing monster release. It's absolutely packed with sampled speech from the minute you load up. The highly amusing intro ends with Deano playing the can-can on a piano! On the main menu, Mummy (apparently based on a real person) asks you which of the four games you want to play. Here's a quick run down of the four games. BANGMAN - An adaptation of hangman. Mummy thinks of a word and you must guess a letter. A stick of dynamite is placed in the poor sod's pocket every time your guess is wrong. Seven incorrect guesses and Mummy's favourite troll presses the plunger and blows him up! GO TROLL - A version of the card game fish (anyone heard of it?). All the cards feature trolls. Ask Mummy if she has a particular troll. If she does, you get it, otherwise you pick a card from the pile, then it's Mummy's turn. If you collect four of the same troll, you get a "book". The aim of the game is to get more books than Mummy. CHASE THE TROLL -A version of Chase The Ace. Mummy asks you to find a named troll (it helps if you are an expert on trolls!) and you must click onto the card you think has that troll's picture on it. CHOO CHOO SHOE SHOOT - You are on the platform of a railway station and Mummy has lost her shoes. The object of the game is to shoot the pairs of shoes which appear in the train's windows. There are other things, bad guys included, to shoot at. Get hit five times and the game's over! The first Silly Software release in a couple of years and well worth getting your hands on. Although it's obviously aimed at young children, it's a fun game for those of us who have not yet grown up! Needs 1Mb. A hard drive is recommended but not essential. Please note, the four games do not run independently, you need to order all the disks. EASY JAVA by Martin Howard - Have you ever wanted to add Java support to your Web pages? This programming course explains clearly and concisely how to write your own Java applets and link them into your HTML code. Java Script applets are device independent, so it doesn't matter which machine you create them on, they will run on Sun, PC, Mac, Next, Unix etc. Currently none of the Atari Web browsers support the use of Java (they just ignore it), but it will come in time and you'll be ready when it does. This course is NOT for the novice. It assumes you have a sound working knowledge of C and C++. If you are also well up on Smalltalk, so much the better. Some of the files are Java source, others are tutorial files. A file displayer is included on the disk, although it makes more sense to print the course in its entirety. TOPS v2.00 by Keith Baines - An OPL editor for TOS based machines. OPL is the programming language used by the Psion Series 3 and Siena handheld computers. It allows you to edit existing OPL programs on your Atari or create new ones from scratch. These may then be sent (by null modem cable) directly to the handheld device and run directly as if it had been created on that device. The system includes a built-in OPL pre- processor, graphical editor for OPA icons, module builder to link independently created OPL modules, ACC which installs the Psion character set on your Atari, file transfer utility and on-screen help with OPL syntax as well as several example OPL programs. You will of course a suitable Psion serial cable in order to connect the two computers. HS Modem on COM.4407 will also be required. Needs 1 Mb. DB Tutor - a series of tutorials on the dBMAN database spanning over 60k. Hakr1040 - a program that fixes a bug which prevents some versions of Hacker II from running on a 1040ST. Label Maker - an excellent way to customise disk labels for 3.5" disks. Similar to label expert on UTL.66. ML Writer - a multi-lingual word processor. This is a demo version which will not allow you to save your files but does allow you to print your file direct from screen. Fully GEM based with keyboard shortcuts. Works in English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew and Russian and outputs to a standard dot matrix printer. Okidump - an accessory which overcomes the bug in OKI printers which prevent screen dumping. Tools v1.5 - A collection of useful utilities running from a main shell. You can scan disks, hide/unhide files, make files read only, delete or rename files. You can print out an ASCII file to fanfold paper with correct page breaks and page headings and indeed create your own command shell from within tools. BBC to ST - transfer files from the BBC to an ST disk. CAT - the opposite of mouse! This program allows you to put your own keyboard commands into GEM based programs. F-Select - a replacement for the GEM file selector. Similar to FSEL on UTL.79, but ideal for the programmer with.LIB, .DOC, .C option buttons built in. Message Writer - create your own messages in a variety of colours and then scroll them cleverly on screen. Serial Edit - this program checks and can even modify disk serial numbers. Sfilecop - allows you to copy individual files from one disk to another, overcoming the usual TOS disk swapping - mono only. Videos - a database of video films which can be customised to include your own collection - low res only. Some programs on this disk run under FAST Basic. The runner program on disk will run these. THE O-DEMO by Oxygene - This is Oxygene's last demo on the ST before they move onto the Falcon. As usual, it features great music and graphics. There are ten screens selectable from a main menu, including one hidden one and another which is STE only. The hidden demo is in fact a replacement loader which makes the Genius Demo run on all STs! The reset demo contains the credits. You guide a bouncing ball around the main menu, bouncing from one platform to another. Each door enters another demo. The ball is difficult to control so there's a few transporter pads to take you back to the beginning and catch the screens you missed. This is a great demo with fast wire frame graphics, solid 3D vector graphics, a ball scroller, parallax scroller, some nice effects with vertical rasters and much more! THE BOURNEMOUTH CFN COLLECTION DISK 14 - Contains the following Modern Display Fonts:- DATA, DATA CONDENSED, DATA CONDENSED ITALIC, DATA ITALIC, DEUSEX, A TO Z DONUT, DOWN WIND, DUBANGO, WAST SIDE, ELWOOD, EMPIRE, ENVIRO, FUNDRUNK NORMAL, FUTURA, GALLEDIS, GREKO DECO ITALIC, HOTSHOT, HVSTRIPE EXTRA BOLD, IGLOO CAPS, INKWELL, LINE OUT. AERIAL KOMBAT II by Croft Soft Software - A two player, two joystick Shareware game. The basic aim of the game is very simple, destroy your opponent before he destroys you. Aerial Kombat can be played over three different scenarios, although the additional data disk gives you access to further levels plus some from an earlier game Aerial Combat ST. Basically both you and your opponent control some kind of flying machine which can be manoeuvered around the screen with ease and, should you get to the stage where you avoid the obstacles on the screen, the game becomes a two-player dogfight. ARJSHELL v0.4 by R J Darling - A GEM shell program for UnArj, allowing you to extract files packed using this popular PC archiver. The latest version of UnArj v2.30 is also supplied. CFNTODMF by Eine Computing - Converts Calamus .CFN fonts to PageStream .DMF fonts. High resolution only. Will convert to Normal, Bold, Oblique or Bold Oblique styles. Limited in that larger files (bigger than about 37kB) will not load completely and converted copy-protected fonts will not work properly in PageStream. EPSXCVG by Eine Computing - Converts between EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and CVG vector graphics formats. The EPS must be in Adobe Illustrator 88 format. Will also work with Adobe Illustrator 88 files - i.e. you need not export the graphic as EPS first. There are some limitations with this shareware version, but most graphics should convert. The only thing it can't handle at all is text strings embedded in the PostScript code. HCOPY v1.6 by Robert Weia - Extended formatter and copier which also supports High Density drives. Will format a HD disk to 1.8MB. Can also copy and format 5" disks and format to MS-DOS standard. Many other features. All docs in German. HICKORY v1.0 by S J Morley - Yet another Desktop clock accessory. Simple and easy to use. Includes an alarm. SELECTRIC v1.10 by Stefan Radermacher - Not just another replacement File Selector. Includes every file selector function you can think of, then adds a couple more! Also included is an ACC and CPX to call Selectric from the Desktop. All Desktop functions like copy, move, rename etc. can be carried out within Selectric. An excellent piece of Shareware. TWO-IN-ONE v1.51e by Gregor Duchalski - An archiver shell which supports the ARC, ZIP, LHZ, ZOO and ARJ archivers. It is similar in operation to the GEM shell used in ST ZIP and is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems. ST Writer French version . ST Writer Elite v2.52 German version. ST Writer Elite v3.0 Spanish version. Another printer drivers disk. Contains Degas printer drivers for 25 different printers. PRT Install - Install your printer"s Degas printer driver in place of the built in Atari hardcopy routine. Press ALT+HELP to activate. PRT Make - Create your own Degas printer driver. LQ800 - A screen dump program for an Epson LQ800. Toshiba - 1st Word printer drivers for the Toshiba T- P321SL/F (24 pin) printer.

STOS COMPILER FIX by Les Greenhalgh - Fixes the STOS Basic compiler so that compiled programs will run on all TOS versions up to v4.04 STOS officially supports up to TOS 1.62 only . This is a simpler alternative to using STOSFIX or GENFIXER when compiling your own STOS Basic programs. NVDI 4.1 GUIDE by Wilfried Behne - An extensive programmers guide designed to assist you in interfacing your own programs with NVDI 3 and getting the best out of the system. Very detailed documentation invaluable to all programmers of utility type software. English version. WINDGEM V1.4 by Phillipe Castella - An extended GEM library for use with Sozobon-X. It allows you to add extras such as program menus contained within a window iconification on-line Help pop-up menus improved window management and a more pleasing user interface to your own programs. Very similar to EGEM and EGLIB in functionality but less memory hungry. Compatible with MagiC v4 and TOS 1.2 to 4.04. Includes full manual in ST- Guide format unfortunately everything s in French. GIFJPEG by Jochan Klockars Frank Mohle - Various Assembler and C sources used in the program MGIF for loading and displaying GIF and JPG files. Most are well commented and all are in English Fontkit 2 - A demo of the font utility from The ST Club. Everything works except the Save option. Soundtracker files with player program . Modules are ALFTRASH, DELTA_2, DMON_SND and FLASH_4. Press F10 for output via Replay cartridge. PHOENIX RENDER by Lexicor - A commercial raytracing package which uses a GEM interface and has been Falcon enhanced. A number of demo script files are supplied for you to try out. This is the predecessor to Xenomorph. It saves out its files in Degas, GIF, SPC or TGA format, depending on your preference. As far as I can make out, it will only view the wireframe objects and let you render them. You cannot edit your own scenes. PIPELINE by Geoff Camp - A Tetris type game with a strong emphasis on getting the right connections. DEUCE - A memory tile game with speech. LETTERS - A sliding puzzle. All three games are by the same author and are aimed at the younger child (6 to 12) but are also most enjoyable to the rest of us. JUMPING GHOST by Ralph Rudzki - A simple platform game once seen on the BBC, where Bert has to find gaps through six conveyor belts and reach the top. ANNIHILATOR by Robert Leong - Another classic from the author of Pacman and Space Invaders. This time a very good variant of Galaxians. The insectoids, as Robert calls them, need to be hit several times before being destroyed. There are ten formations, with a super nasty to be dealt with at the end. Bonus pills may occasionally be picked up. Music by the Shapeshifters. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. 3DP by Rudelli Paolo - Allows you to quickly an easily create 3D models for use with POV Raytracer v2. You can adjust the viewing angle and the position of the camera to suit. The resultant image is displayed in its own window as a wireframe graphic and can be saved as an object or output as a POV script file ready to be cut and pasted into your main script. Several example objects are supplied as well as POV scripts of these. Easy to use if you know the basics of raytracing but unfortunately the program and all docs are in French. 3D OBJECT COLORIZER V2.0 by J Stanford - allows you to colour individual faces on a CAD 3D v2 wireframe object. Objects may be viewed from any camera angle as solid objects and changing the colour of any face on the object requires no more than a simple mouse click. Your final creation can be resaved in 3D2 format. AERIAL KOMBAT III V2.1b STFM by Croft Soft Software - The re- release of this popular Licenceware game as Shareware. This is the third and final part of the Aerial Kombat trilogy. Aerial Kombat is essentially a two player shoot 'em up. The aim is simple, you must destroy your opponent before he destroys you. The three scenarios are World War I, Hover Cars and Choppers. Simply use the joystick to manoevre around the playing area, avoiding crashing into obstacles or your oppenent, whilst dodging enemy fire and letting rip a few rounds of your own. Additional data disks with further scenarios are planned for the future. Quartet music plays throughout. DEATH CAMP by Dave Blower - A graphic adventure created using STAC. It is 1944 and you are imprisoned in the notorious Changi POW camp. The aim of the game is to escape. An excellent game for all adventure fans. THE VILLAGE by Dave Blower - As a skilled computer analyst you are employed on a top secret project in a highly protected village. Nearing the end of your contract, you notice the disappearance of some of your colleagues. Has a termination program started? You must get away from the Village... at once! An adventure using text & graphics. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. WARP Issue 2 - Well, what can I say, this Star Trek magazine seems to have acquired cult status since it hit our screens as it well deserves to. A lot of work has gone into the making of Warp and it shows. The shell is set around the Enterprise and you must guide Captain Picard around various computers and activate them. These bring a sub-menu onto the screen, which gives you a list of articles. There are 4 menus, each holding different files. These feature clear sampled sound and ITG's (In Text Graphics) with excellent results. This issue offers lots of interesting bits and pieces including letters, various snippets of info, dates and addresses for clubs and conventions, messages, adverts, your questions answered and much more. Super Dreadnought is the first part of a story by Matthew R Weed and there's various other files relating to Star Trek and Next Generation episodes and other stories. 'Actors Roles' gives a list of the most regular Star Trek actors and other roles they have played, 'The A to Z of Trek' continues with B and Keefy takes a look at Nichelle Nichols' memoirs. Also... there are anagrams, wordsearches and a great competition to win a super prize. All in all, a great second issue. TCB Tracker modules disk 25 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are BAD, TOOBIN, TURT, CHANCE, COOLMOOD, DEEPPURP. Revision Control System - Ported to ST by Alan Pratt of Atari USA. Maintains files (usually source code, but could be anything) as original version plus changes made. At any time you can go back to any earlier version. Essential tool for serious programmer. Full docs and C source. STEN #8 - Definitely the best issue to date. The shell program has been improved further and due to a mutual agreement between STEN and several overseas publications, the quality and quantity of articles is even better. As well as all the usual features, there's interviews with Mike Goodman, Harvey Lodder and John Barger. There are reviews of Chameleon, Fast Copy Professional, Write On and Pro Data. Numerous articles look at emulating an ST on a PC, general word processing, using hard drives, upgrading to TOS v2.05 and beyond, GFA Basic programming and Pascal programming. There are also articles on upgrading your system as well as technical pieces on interfacing to the cartridge port and midi ports and some STE specific technical stuff. You can even win 6 PD disks of your choice in a free to enter competition! THE PRINT COLLECTION - A collection of images associated with printing through the ages. All scanned at 400 dpi. Files are PAPERMAK, PRINTER, PRINTERS, TCB Tracker modules disk 7 by Brian Ross . Files are ALF, BACHMIX, IMPACT, JM_JARRE, SLL2, SLL3, SLL4, SLL5, SLL9, THESONG, WINDWALK. ORIGINAL ADVENTURE - An adaption of Colossal Cave from the mainframes of the 1970s. FRUIT MACHINE - addictive and well written one armed bandit game. BREAKANOID - A cross between Arkanoid and Breakout. STONEAGE DELUXE - A PD version of Boulderdash. TOS 1.0 ONLY. PUZZLE - word puzzle. FASTER THAN POV V2.1 - A modified much faster version of the Persistence of Vision Raytracer on S-FALC.4512 S-FALC.4513 . Essentially the vista buffer and light buffer have been completely redesigned and are substantially speeded up and the number of ray/slab tests is reduced. In addition a number of unnecessary calculations have been removed from the code and several bugs removed. Also included are utilities to convert 3D Studio and Cybersculpt/CAD 3D2 files to POV scripts and the full set of Apex Media graphic file viewers. Includes forty scenes for you to raytrace. It is recommended that you use this package along with the POV distribution disks rather than as a replacement to them. Unfortunately the improved speed has in some cases been at the expense of memory so 4 Mb is recommended. 3D2 TO POV V1.2 by Jochen Knauss - Another program which converts Cybersculpt/CAD 3D2 files into POV Raytrace v1 or v2 format. Includes C source. GIF2FLI by Laurent Chaussy - Allows you to specify a list of GIF images to be joined together in a continuous animation in FLI or FLC format. There are lots of other options such as the speed of animation colour mapping options if more than one palette is used FLI only double-buffering support and positioning of animation on screen. VTGABLUP - A TGA picture viewer for 8-bit and 24-bit images which works with the BlowUp 030 screen expander. Having said that it also works on normal displays too. Large pictures which exceed the size of the current screen resolution can be scrolled around or resized to fit the screen. Watch out some TGA s display upside down WAX GIF VIEWER - An ACC which displays 256 colour GIFs in windows. It can handle up to 4 windows at once and supports the VA_START protocol so is ideally suited to using the STik/CAB WWW browser software. Unfortunately it doesn t handle 16 colour GIFs and only runs in 256 colour modes. THE CALIMER-O DEMO by Oxygene and MJJ Prod - This demo has seven screens, all of which have plenty of music and scrollers. Two of the screens contain records (or so the coders inform us). The first of these is called "sprite record" and contains a record number of large sprites which snake around the screen. The second screen is called "plots record" and has the highest number of curve plots on screen. There is a counter on the screen which shows how near you are to seeing the record set (and so you also know what you would have to do if you wanted to beat it!). The rest of the screens have the usual mixture of graphical effects such as vectors, 3D shapes etc. As with all Oxygenne/MJJ Prod demos, the quality is very high. STORM v1.02 by Alan Page - A full featured GEM based telecomms program with its own built-in BASIC language. This allows you to control STORM's actions from script files. STORM is modular, so upgrading the program to emulate a different type of terminal or a new transfer protocol is simply a case of obtaining the appropriate module and reconfiguring your system. The current version can be configured to emulate TTY, VT100/VT102/VT52 and Vidtex terminals. File transfers in ASCII, CompuServe BPlus, X/Y/Z-Modem (and the numerous variants of these) are all catered for. This program was originally marketed commercially by Double Click Software but has since been upgraded and re-released as Shareware. It will run on any ST/STE, TT, Mega ST or Falcon030 and is compatible with MultiTOS, large screen monitors and graphics cards. Extensive docs on disk running to well over 100k. Very highly recommended, probably the best comms program there is! INTERNET - Two text files which will prove invaluable to comms users. The first is entitled 'Zen and the Art of the Internet'. It is a beginners' guide covering everything you'll ever need to know about Internet and runs to 102 pages! The second file is titled 'ARCHIE' and is a 16 page reference guide to using the Internet archive server listing service, also known as ARCHIE. SKETCHBOOK - As FB.05M but without the runner program (no room on disk!). Animation on this disk is Boxer. Needs 1 Meg memory. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 2 - A collection of 256 colour animations created on the PC. A player program is supplied. APPLE - An apple bounces on a wooden table top. Each time it hits the table it spreads out like a soft ball BART - Bart Simpson fires a catapult at you through the monitor FOREMAN - A robot man made up from building blocks marches on happily. JABBER - This features something resembling a speech bubble with moving eyes and jaw It appears to be having a conversation with you MOONRUN - An excellent digitised sequence of a US fighter plane flying past a mountain range. ROBO01 - An HGV gets up on its robotic legs transformer style and steps through the traffic jam BALLOON - A hot air balloon flies over the city and away into the distance. HEART SOLE - A classic animation of a human heart beating with a shoe in the background. This one must be seen to be believed RACETRAK - An overhead view of two cars going round a racetrack. You also get a close up of the cars progress inset into the animation. JP40 by Harun Scheutzow - A DIY hardware project for building an adaptor which allows Maxon's Junior Prommer (an EPROM burner) to create 16- bit 44-pin EPROMs (27C1024, 27C2048, 27C4096, 27C8192 devices) as well as the smaller capacity 27C210 and 27C1002 varieties. The short instructions are in German but we've done a RUF translation. Diagrams and PCB layouts are supplied as 300 dpi IMG files. You will also require a software driver such as Pinatubo (on UTL.5341). M_TUNF V1.0 by David Reitter - Allows you to 'unfreeze' ACCs or programs running in single-tasking mode under MagiC or MagiCMac. Under normal circumstances only normal multi-tasking programs can be unfrozen if they crash. German docs but with a RUF translation. BIG BOB V0.92 by Mark Slagell - A file finder program. It can search all connected drives very fast. It is unique in that it does not require wildcards to be entered, just any part of the filename you're looking for. Big Bob can also search for ASCII text within files. CLOCK IT by Martin Howard - Put it into your Auto folder and you will be prompted for the time/date every time you boot up. DSCHK v2.5 by Mark Baines - Displays details on a floppy disk's format and structure and tests its integrity, reporting any errors found. It tells you everything you could ever want to know about the selected floppy. Invaluable tool for determining faults or even obtaining data about damaged disks prior to attempting recovery. MSB ANSI by Mark Baines - Replacement system fonts which contain the entire ANSI character set. Particularly useful for comms enthusiasts designing ANSI pages off-line and for reading ASCII documents which use special IBM characters for underlining, boxes and so forth. They can be installed as the default system font using NeoDesk, Fontkit, GDOS, Warp 9 or NVDI. They also provide a much easier to read font than the standard Desktop one. MSB ATARI by Mark Baines - As MSB ANSI except that they contain the full Atari adaptation of the ASCII character set rather than the ANSI variant. Once again they need to be installed using NeoDesk, Warp 9, GDOS, Fontkit or NVDI. SEEKxxMS by Mark Baines - Three programs which let you set the steprate on Drive A or B to 6ms or 3ms (covers all combinations of these). Invaluable if using slow drives or a high density drive on TOS versions below 2.06. CLOCK SETTER v3 by Martin Howard - A clock setter program for use on a PC running Gemulator or a PC emulator (hardware or software based) running on an ST or Falcon. It is designed as a stop gap fix for the Millenium Bug when running under emulation. It is not needed on a "real" Atari.

SHUTDOWN+ by Thomas Much - A replacement Shutdown program for use with MagiC. It informs you when it is safe to switch off your computer (you should never just hit the reset button when running a multi-tasking OS) and reports back any errors encountered. This version has a few improvements over the one supplied with MagiC and is also Multi-TOS compatible. MASTER V6.0 by Michael Naumann and Edgar Greuter - A command line interface with many of the features of MS-DOS and UNIX built-in. Features include file redirection, support for extended arguments, write protecting of logical drives, the ability to access ACCs from within Master, on-line Help, support for external modules and more. A comprehensive program which is almost entirely in English! MONO ICE by Eines Computing - An icon editor for use with TOS 2.06. It lets you create your own icons or grab parts of Degas images. If running it as an ACC you can also grab parts of the Desktop or the GEM program you're running for use in your icons. Includes the usual pen, fill, box, line and circle tools as well as cut and paste and the ability to create a mask for your icon. Your creations can be saved in C, Assembler or standard RSC format. A number of example icons (126 of them!) are included. Runs in mono only although the edited icons will run in any res. ST HIGHWAY #6 MAY 1997 - This diskmag has undergone a major facelift in the design department! It starts off with a couple of impressive intros, then loads up an improved interface with a new doc displayer, although it still has some bugs! As usual, it's a general interest mag read by ST owners, rather than featuring all things Atari. Reviews are of Arabesque, Destruction Imminent, In Touch, Papyrus 4 and Positive Image and the NEC Multisync 3D. There's adventure solutions to Kings Quest I, Leisure Suit Larry 1 and Space Quest 2 along with countless tips and cheats for ST games. Features include a report from the May 1997 Glasgow Atari Show, the Atari CD-ROM FAQ, a COMA installation guide, an alternative view on charity fundraising and other issues, free computer equipment, a major US intelligence scandal and the fact behind science fiction and a lot more besides.

GhostScript currently allows you to print your files to Atari SLM, HP Deskjet (incl colour models), Canon BJ series, Epson 9-pin, Epson 24-pin (incl colour models), Epson ESC P2, Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes it ideal for previewing your work prior to taking it to your PostScript bureau. Alternatively the page (or graphic) can be saved in IMG, PBM or PPM graphic file formats. Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive. NET ST by Phil Karn (KA9Q TC/IP Net on the ST) - For use with host systems running the above protocol. I really can't comment much on this disk as it refers to a system that I am not familiar with. If anyone can elaborate, please do so. It looks like a very competent program which is very badly documented. MOTERM ELITE v1.41 - Perhaps the best communications program available. Fully GEM based. It has the ability to transfer sound and graphics over the modem as well as normal files. In addition it features a new protocol Dmodem which is compatible with but better than Xmodem. Originally a commmercial program but now Shareware. Requires 1 Meg of memory. Drumkit - Play the drums on your ST. Tunes can be saved and re- loaded. NOT TOS 2.06. TCB Tracker Demo Creator v1 by MUG UK - Use this program to create your own demos from TCB Tracker modules. Outputs in stereo on the STE. . DICE II by Ross McNaughton - A 2,3 or 4 player game of Yahtzee. For anyone unfamiliar with the game, you take turns at throwing five dice. Different points are awarded for pairs, three of a kind and so forth. No instructions supplied but it's simple enough for any Yahtzee player. STARHAWK 2 by Ross McNaughton - A simple vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. You must steer your fighter plane past obstacles and avoid enemy fire while blasting everything in sight. If it moves shoot it, if it doesn't you might as well shoot it anyway! In a similar vein to Xenon and Xevious of days gone by. ROLLERCOASTER DEMO by Solution Software - A puzzle game rather like Pipe Mania. You must use the supplied pieces of track to create logical route for the ball to get from A to B. If the balls runs off the track or gets blocked, you lose a life. This demo features 10 fully playable levels from the 100 supplied with the full version. Rollercoaster demo runs on mono or colour, the other two games are colour only. IMAGIC ANIMATIONS - Four stunning animations created with the Imagic Graphic System. Animations are CONTICHA (1 Meg), DISCO, DRAGON, UHR. THE KOZMIC COMPENDIUM by Dave Henniker - After a runaway success on the Shareware scene, Dave has decided to release Kozmic 4 as Freeware. This three disk set includes a full registered version of Kozmic 4, the complete STOS source to the program, companion program Zonk, the full manual on disk, over forty pictures created with Kozmic and a specially patched version of the program for Mega ST owners (the normal program doesn't run on their machines). For anyone who is unfamiliar with this package, Kozmic is a psychedelic pattern generator with full user control over the patterns generated. As well as creating the patterns, you can zoom, mirror, distort, merge two screens, merge bitplanes and much more. Many of these are accompanied by equally unusual sampled sound effects. There's extensive palette control and a built in slideshow feature too. This latest version has on-line help and if you have an STE and more than 1 Meg of memory, you'll get stereo sound samples as well as the mono ones. Kozmic's two main claims to fame are that graphics created by it were used by the techno-rock group Tranceport on the cover of their CD Tranceglobal and Kozmic graphics were used in a video by a Belgian rock band which was shown on MTV! Kozmic needs at least 1 Meg. MAKIN' SWEET MUSIC Vol 3 from MUG UK - Over 60 pieces of chip music for use with Megatizer on MUS.3256.

THE BEGINNING OF THE ENDING MEGADEMO by Offbase - The demo commences with an impressive action packed animation. There are a further six sub-demos following this. The first is a breakout game with a difference. If you score the required points, it progresses to a hidden demo. The remaining five have rasters, sprites, various graphic and sonic effects and scrollers. An unusual screen is called Gobbo. It has a picture of three turtle-like creatures in a yard, the digitised sound starts and the turtles' mouths move in motion with sound. The guest screen is by TML. It is a humorous Christmas screen with scrollers and a picture of Santa smoking a cigar. Comical sound effects are added to the Carols playing in the background. GAME BOY - Turn your computer into one of those hand held consoles and play either a Tetris or Space Invader game. The right hand side of your screen resembles a Nintendo Gameboy and you can select from one of the two classic computer games.

It takes the form of a satellite dish which rotates through its axis passing through the lettering as it goes. The lettering partially protrudes through the solid shape in certain positions. As the satellite dish is spinning it is also moving up and down the screen. CANADA - The Canadian flag blowing in the breeze against a highly coloured background of mountain scenery. Incredible animation. Both animations need 4 Meg. THE GROTESQUE DEMO - A great offering from Omega, which was rated very highly by ST Magazine (France). It features great graphics, strobe effects and excellent sound. This is a real roller coaster of a demo with flashing lights and synchronisation between drums being beaten by drumsticks in perfect co-ordination with dancing figures. Definitely one of the best. Needs 1 Meg. NOT TOS 2.06 upwards. STE ONLY. YUKON - THE NEXT GENERATION! - Replacement sounds and graphics for Yukon on GAM.5858. These give you a futuristic look to the cards and short samples from the TV series StarTrek - The Next Generation. Must be used in conjunction with GAM.5858 i.e. this is not a standalone disk. CROSSASM - A set of cross assemblers (with source) for 688001, 688002, 688004, 688005, 688009 and 688011 micros. GEMFSTFX - Three bug fixes for the vdifast library issued with Sozobon C v1.3. TEXINTRO - An excellent set of documentation introducing TeX (the text formatting system) for the beginner. Unfortunately it is in Tex format, so a bit chicken and egg!

XSTRIP - Source and docs for a utility for stripping (all or partially) symbol tables from binaries created by GNU or Sozobon C. HIMEUR VITREE by The Hemoroids - Like its predecessors, this demo has a nice foreign sounding name. It starts up with a well drawn picture of what appears to be an eyeball! The majority of the screens are contained within the black cinema style borders. There are dot generated patterns and 3D tunnels made up from thousands of dots. There's also a sea effect where some waves appear with a small hemoroid ship floating across them as the sea goes up and down. A snow storm with a large Father Christmas in the middle makes an appearance (this is the only reference to Christmas in the demo) and there are several other effects such as fast zooming in on a pattern on the floor. Last but not least are colour-shocked balls which change colours rapidly as they move up the screen. The general content of this demo is very good as are most Hemoroids productions, the presentation and musical effects are equally well done. Please note that this demo will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg unless you install RECONFIG.PRG on UTL.3226. TCB Tracker modules Aegis Sonix converts with player program .

PICTS TO PARLIAMENT PART III by Evelyn Mills - As this series of six disks is sequential it is preferable to have parts 1 and 2. Part III is as humourous as usual and presents history in colourful graphics with accompanying text in an irreverent but accurate manner. This disk continues the saga of the Middle Ages with all the dreams and aspirations of Kings such as Richard the Lionheart, Henry III etc. Some were sane, others were not, but the whole webb is woven together, including poll taxes and how to be King of France and England at the same time! Shakspeare loved this era and so will you if you want to learn history with a difference! Press SPACE to pause between the screens. Well recommended.

COUNTER ATAK by Angus Muir - Another version of the famous Tetris/Columns type game but with a difference. Instead of making lines of the same colour you must try to make lines where counters of the same colour are NOT next to each other! It's not as easy as it sounds, particularly when played against a time limit. The program is very unforgiving, punishing your first mistake with some mocking laughter, as you return to the start of the game. A simple yet addictive program, highly recommended. AMAZE by Angus Muir - A 3-D maze game, the aim of which is to find your way to the exit, but as all the walls look the same, this is no easy task. Use the mouse to click on a direction arrow, then follow the path to the next intersection. The atmospheric music adds a rather mysterious quality to the whole game. Clip Art in IMG format (HOKUSAI2) . Files are OCTOPII, RAINSNOW, SQUIRRLS, WOMEN__1, WOMEN__2. UTILITIES VOL 1 by Mug UK .

QUARK Issue 1 - Quark is an abbreviation for Quantam Underground Anarchic Reading Konspiracy, and this is a disk magazine like no other. It is a collection of short stories written by Pete Binfield, Ben Walmisley & Martin Young. For once, this has nothing to do with computers! Instead, you can read many stories such as Harmonics (acoustic narcotics!), a discussion on the Loch Ness Monster and read about how Los Angles is wiped out by an experiment to shift matter to another universe! There's 5 legged horses, a futuristic virus in the form of a dream lover, and lots more sci-fi goings on. Recommended if you're sane (and don't want to be).

MINE V1.02 by Pestouille - A Falcon-specific Boulderdash type game. You play a miner and must collect all the bombs on one level then proceed to the exit in order to reach the next level. Just to complicate things there s something looks like rubble from collapsing tunnels chasing you and various obstacles walls ponds etc to hamper your progress. Mine is an impressive game with cartoon graphics superb sound and a built-in level designer. So where s the catch Both program and docs are in French. Runs on RGB and VGA. TANK BUSTERS v1.12 by Fabrice Vende - A game for up to four players uses normal joystick ports STE joystick ports Jaguar Powerpad or keyboard for control in which your sole aim is to destroy the tanks driven by your opponents. It s a bit like Dynabusters or Super Bomberman in concept except that you control armoured tanks in this variant. Almost everything can be customised so that you can play against each other normal mode in teams or in hunt mode the most challenging by far . Some nice raytraced backgrounds and good music feature in this Shareware version which has 16 of the 1000 levels included. The full version also has five soundtracks two in this version four times the amount of graphics and more... Despite its origins Tank Busters is in English and has English docs. RGB ONLY. COBRA STRIKE by Ross McNaughton - An impressive vertically scrolling shoot 'em up. You control a helicopter gunship and must destroy all enemy forces on the approaching island.

ECLIPSE by P Hannington - An incredibly powerful image processing package. It loads images in RAW TGA IFF SPU Degas GIF TIFF and BMP formats saving them in RAW TGA IFF BMP and TIFF formats. The features include 24 different processing filters including sharpen blur emboss smooth and laplace RGB colour adjustment gamma correction convert to greyscale rotate image bend squeeze zigzag and mirror. In addition images may be mapped onto spheres pyramids or diamonds and cutting and pasting of blocks between buffers is also supported. Eclipse runs in any resolution on the ST/E TT and Falcon but does not display pictures correctly on the Falcon if NVDI is installed. The special effects menu and the user guide are reserved for registered users. Highly recommended. FRACTALS by Jean Lusetti - Yet another of those very fast fractal programs. This one only runs on a TT or Falcon and can make use of the FPU if you have one fitted. On the Falcon the 68030 and DSP work together to generate the graphics at lightning speed. You can use the Mandelbrot or Julia sets and zoom in using a box or by setting a central point both of which are user definable. The fractals are created within windows and you can set the size of the window to suit in fact you can even alter it after the fractal has been generated. Two fractals can be selected as the start and end frames of an animation and those in between will be calculated by the program. Extensive control is available over almost every aspect of this program and your works of art may be saved out in X IMG format. Runs in any resolution from mono to True Colour. The only drawback is that both program and docs are in French. MNDL_INIT v2.26 by R J Ridder - Another very fast Mandelbrot generator. Like so many of the newer Mandelbrot generator this one constructs a rough image then rounds it off to produce the smooth fractal graphic that you expect. It allows you to calculate the fractal using 16-bit integers or 32- bit integers or optionally the DSP or a maths coprocessor if these are available. It supports both the Mandelbrot and Julia sets and allows you to zoom into any part of the screen almost into infinity. A number of preset palettes are supplied on disk as well as about a dozen pre-calculated images. MNDL_INIT runs in ANY resolution and pictures may be displayed fullscreen or in windows. You can also create animations from your fractal screens and these can be replayed using the animation player provided. MAKE JPEG by Andrew Younger - Allows you to convert GIF TGA or PPM files to JPG format and vice versa. Images may be converted to greyscale and block smoothing is supported. Almost everything is user selectable by simple mouse clicks. Multi-TOS compatible. JPEG DSP by David Oldcorn - Displays GIF or JPEG files using the DSP for speed. You can tag multiple files and run a slideshow or display a single picture. All pictures are displayed fullscreen and the program switches resolution to suit. Pictures larger than the screen may be half-sized or scrolled around using the arrow keys. Perhaps the fastest JPEG and GIF displayer around. RGB ONLY. JPEG HACK - A modified version of Brainstorm s JPEG decoder which does not pause for several seconds when it loads. Speeds up your startup time quite a bit if you usually run the Brainstorm decoder from the Auto folder. PLAYMPEG v0.70 by Griff - MPEGs are the animation equivalent of JPEGs. In other words they are very highly compressed with a certain amount of loss of quality not really noticeable unless you repeatedly MPEG the same file . This player uses the DSP in order to play back animations at speeds of up to 20 frames per second. It supports MPEG-1 files MPEG-2 includes sound as well as graphics of all sizes up to a maximum of 480 384 but only replays them in greyscale. Register with the author to get the full colour version. This program may be installed so that you just double-click MPEGs to show them. MPEGDSP by Guido Vollbeding - Another MPEG-1 animation player. This one performs similarly well to Griff s version with the exception that it actually displays the animations in colour rather than greyscale. It is also able to handle some large in terms of resolution MPEGs which the Griff player rejects. However the Griff player runs slightly faster and smoother. This program can also be installed so that MPEGs are double-clickable. TURBOGIF V1.3 by Sascha Springer - The fastest GIF displayer you ll ever find It runs from any resolution and automatically switches to 640x480x256. Larger pictures may be scrolled using the mouse. Can be installed so that you just double-click GIFs to view them. VGA ONLY. NEO_PAT1 by Lou Trapani - A collection of patterns suitable for use to create a Desktop backdrop for NEODesk 4 Deskpic and similar programs. Some are in 256 colours and others in True Colour format. SCAPE v1.2 - Creates random planetary scenes. You will be surprised just how realistic looking some of them are. Even those which would not pass for the real thing would not look out of place in a science fiction setting Supposedly runs in any 256 colour mode but in practice it s only stable in 80 column modes. Your resulting planetary masterpieces may be saved to disk in PCX or GIF format or you can just sit back and watch TT compatible. FPU version also included. INDY PAINT V1.5 by Gerhard Seiler - A True Colour graphics package. Indy Paint has all the basics you would expect but nothing much by way of extras as far as tools go. However there are a few nice touches like the inclusion of animation the ability to change resolution within the program and some comprehensive palette manipulation features including masking of certain colours and selective colour remapping. You can also convert True Colour pictures to greyscale. The zoom mode is also worth a mention as you can use all the tools within zoom mode and the zoom window will scroll appropriately if your action goes outside its given boundaries. Indy Paint does have its peculiarities but is well worth a look. ALIEN THING - THE DIRECTOR'S CUT by 999 Software - After blowing up the Alien ship in Alien Thing, it now transpires that you didn't do the job properly! A section of the ship containing aliens broke loose before the explosion and driften into Outer Space. After crashing into an asteroid, the aliens escaped and started to multiply. Now the asteroid is on a collision course with earth. Your mission as before is to plunder alien technology, eliminate the aliens and erase all evidence of their existence.

EXECUTE by Mikael Lundqvist - Lets you run other tasks in parallel with the CLI on a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC, Geneva or Multi-TOS. You can also search for programs and files. FAKEMINT V1.0 by Guido Flohr - Many programs are compliled with GNU C using the MintLib library files to ensure compatibility with MiNT. However, many of these programs do not actually use any of the features present in MiNT. Others use features which are also present in Geneva and MagiC. Such programs check to see if MiNT is running, if not they exit. This program installs a cookie which makes programs think that MiNT is running. It allows most MiNT programs to run on other multi- tasking OSs and perhaps some may even work under TOS. Please note FAKEMINT does not actually install any of MiNT's features, it just fools the system into thinking MiNT is present. Consequently, programs which do use MiNT specific features will crash your system! GEM LOAD V1.5 by Markus Pristovsek - Displays the system workload graphically. It is indicative of how processor-intensive programs are, though its information is for the system as a whole rather than for individual programs. Most useful with a multi- tasking OS, but also runs as an ACC under TOS. GENEVA 005 UPGRADE PATCH - Patches v004 of Gribnif's Geneva multi-tasking OS to v005. This version makes Geneva compatible with the AV protocol, supports the launching of NPG modules, works much faster with MiNT and has about 40-50 other improvements/fixes. Please note you require original Geneva v004 master disks in order to perform this upgrade. If you have an earlier version of Geneva you will need the patch on UTL.4411 to bring it up to v003 and the patch on UTL.5485 to bring it up to v004. If you don't already have Geneva, this program is of no use to you. Clip Art in IMG format .

THE ARRIVAL DEMO by Passion - As the name suggests this is their first Falcon demo. It features a number of interesting effects and it s clear to see that a lot of work has gone into it. There are gourad shaded 3D cubes and rubber cubes which rotate and scale in real time a journey across a fractal landscape similar to Fracland on the ST a raytraced Passion logo an example of Nintendo s Mode 7 where a picture is mapped horizontally onto another running almost into infinity. There s also a True Colour scene featuring a river with a mountain in the background. A texture mapped object with a woman s face on it scales and rotates in real time. What s more the object changes shape a few times. All in all a great first demo from Passion. If your TOS version is below 4.04 you will need to run FPATCH2 to hear the soundtrack Needs 4 Meg RGB monitor or TV only. ATARI ST MACHINE SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING IN ASSEMBLY by Robert Arp - This is a massive programming guide to the Atari ST. The disk includes 11 chapter comprising of 1.2 Megabytes of invaluable information, 57 accompanying diagrams in both IMG and Postscript formats, and 41 executable files referred to in the text. It is assumed that you will put it all together in 1st Word Plus or a DTP package and print it out. This book is not a beginners' guide to assembly programming. It assumes the user to be familiar with assembler and aims to cover the points missed by the various publications currently available, whilst referring to them as additional reading. The files are supplied in the form of self extracting archives and require about 12 Megabytes of hard disk space when decompressed. If you don't need the Postscript files, you will require less than 3 Megabytes of hard disk space. All this comes on one double sided disk! If you require the sources to the program files, they are on LAN.3613. THE KIT by Sorcerer Sound Productions - 23 MIDI drum fills primarily designed for use on Roland synths on channel 10.

Can be installed as an application so you can double-click tunes to play them. DNT PLAY V2.7 - Another DSP based MOD file player. Includes full sources in assembler Devpac 3 and DSP ASM56000 formats for use in your own programs. Docs in French. STEREO V1.0 by DNT - Converts soundchip music into DMA stereo sound on the STe/TT/Falcon. Listen to the soundtracks of your old games assuming they are Falcon compatible in full stereo Docs in French. DMA SOUND OSCILLATOR V2.20 by Terrasaur Systems - Displays two oscilloscope traces one for left the other for right and monitors sound from a currently playing MOD file being played by any ACC based MOD player or direct audio input via the microphone socket. DIRTY SOUND STUDIO V1.10 - A direct to disk recording package which supports up to 8 channels at 50Khz using the DSP. Looks very capable but both program and docs are in French. IVANHOE by Sir Walter Scott - The complete text of the famous novel. This text is out of copyright and may be freely copied. THE DAWN OF AMATEUR RADIO IN THE UK AND GREECE by Norman F Joly - A complete book on disk. This is a modern work published in 1990 and distributed with the author s permission. For this reason we request that you consult the terms of re-distribution within the text. This work is an invaluable aid to those involved in amateur radio. QUILL by Jonathon Lawrence - Described as a 'pen and ink freehand vector drawing package', Quill is an ingenious product which lets you draw or write on screen using the mouse or Tabby graphics tablet as if it were a pen. The degree of accuracy and smoothness need to be seen to be believed, even with a mouse! The full version allows line drawings and writing to be converted to vector graphics. The demo is a full implementation with Save disabled. A number of examples of work created with Quill are included on disk. Full version distributed in the UK by CGS. SAM2DISK by Dattrax Software - Allows you to sample sound direct to hard disk on any ST/E. You will require the Master Sound, Stereo Master, Stereo Replay or Replay 16 hardware cartridges in order to use this program. It takes the input direct from the cartridge and saves it to your hard drive, thus limiting the sample size to the free space on your hard drive rather than available memory. The resulting samples may then be played back through the hardware if you are using one of the Replay cartridges. Sampling frequency is limited to 20Khz due to the speed of ST hard drives. Apart from this minor limitation, you can sample direct to disk just the same as on the Falcon. The package also includes a sequencer which allows you to piece together short samples into loops. However, samples cannot be chopped up or sequences saved (in fact you are locked out of the sequencer) with this demo version. The full version includes these additional features and more. Colour Only. TESSERA by Dolphin Software - A novel adaptation of the Tetris theme. It is played on a 3D grid and has all the Tetris elements like explosions, bonuses, multipliers and does centre around blocks being correctly positions on the grid. However, that's where the similarity stops! The squares in the grid are disintegrating and you must cover each square with a block. However, you cannot have three like blocks in a row, otherwise they explode. In addition, the blocks come fast and furious and are not easily positioned. Many original elements in this game make it a fun challenge. This demo only allows play on medium skill level and has only three levels. The full version only costs 5 from the authors. Calling Tessera addictive is an understatement! DA'S LAYOUT TC V6.0 - A usable demo of Digital Arts' answer to Calamus SL. This demo version seems to offer much of the functionality of Calamus but with a few notable extras such as PPD output for printing to PostScript devices, colour selection via drag & drop, page/image previews (from the file selector and much more. It imports graphics in TIFF, TGA, GIF, CVG, GEM and EPS formats and supports output to 24-pin, bubblejet, laser, Deskjet and Postscript devices. Several fax drivers are also included. Pages can be output as TIFF, CVG, EPS or in Didot's own vector format as an alternative to printing. The program is very fast in operation. This demo version seems to be restricted only in the fact that you are restricted to 30 minutes' use and cannot save your work. When you start up it will be in German, select from Sprache the Optionen menu to choose the required language. English, French and Italian are supported in addition to German. Needs 4 Mb and a minimum resolution of 640x400, so high res or graphic card only on an ST. NEURAL NETWORK CONSTRUCTION KIT by Ian Clarke - This program uses complex algorithms to create a learning process. Neural networks are essentially a simulation of the human brain, where each node (or neuron) is either on or off, depending on the signals received from adjoining nodes. The system can be forced to learn procedures by repetitive instructions from control files, with each cycle reducing the potential error level. Numerous examples and lots of docs are supplied. NNCK TUTOR - A tutorial program outlining the concepts behind the Neural Network Construction Kit and how to put the theory into practice. NEOROSIM by C J Matheus and C C Jorgensen - Another neural network simulation program. This one comes with two example matrices which can be learned. You can also change parameters to create your own simulations. ASCIIPIC - Converts any PI2 picture file into ASCII text. In other words, the graphic is represented by text characters. Stand back and you'll be amazed by the resemblance to the 'true' picture. CLOCK + by M Maisey - An analog or digital clock (you choose) which runs in any resolution. You can have gadgets (close box, full box, window title bar etc) on or off, set the position on screen and save your preferences. Simply select the ACC from the menu bar and click inside its window to bring up the options. There's a Multi-TOS version on disk too. Compdisk - A utility for checking that two disks are identical eg; after copying. Diskcopy - A utility for copying non-standard but not copy protected disks. Both programs need 1 Meg. First Base v1.6 - A fast memory resident database system for small or medium sized applications. If you have sufficient RAM, up to 13000 records may be created. Quick Database - A keyword index database program that basically only does one thing, it looks up data very fast. Each data record is associated with a number of keywords. These keywords are loaded into memory so finding matches is very fast. TCB Tracker Demo Creator v2. This program is designed to allow you to create your own demos using TCB Tracker sound files along with Degas pictures. It is a major update of the one on MUS.110. Although the demo creator will run in high or medium resolution, the demos created are for low res use. MUG Formatter v2 - Formats and immunises disk then writes an Auto folder to it. File Comparer v2 - Compares two files of the same length, byte by byte, listing differences to screen or printer. NOISETRACKER MODULES disk 15 by Brian Ross . Player programs on disk for ST and STE. MODs are CRYSTALS, DREAMON, HITHOUSE, JINGLES2, LITCHINA, MY_DAY, NIGHTFAL, REFRAIN, SLIDE. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . MODs are BLOOD, KIM, WILD_INT, BLA, GOREZONE, HYA. S-FALC.5555 CONQUEST OF CLYSIUM by Johan Karlsson - An epic fantasy role playing game specially designed for the Falcon. Up to 8 players can participate or you can play against the computer. Your aim is to achieve total supremacy over an entire continent by whatever means you see fit. There are 17 different types of character which can be assumed including Warlords Barbarians Priests Witches Goblins Druids and such like all with different strengths and weaknesses. On each turn you move your commander s a specified number of squares up to a maximum of 3 or use up your action points in other ways such as for the casting of spells. On your travels you will encounter other beings who will either join you or fight you. You must build Citadels and leave troops to guard them as you progressively conquer the land. Taxes must be raised but be careful you don t set them too high or the peasants will revolt and armies recruited. This is a truly mindblowing game with dragons orcs dwarfs elves trolls the undead knights cavalry vampires magic potions powerful charms curses and so forth to contend with Strategy brute force and sheer luck all enter the game to greater or lesser degrees. With many raytraced graphics within the game it just smacks of professionalism. This Shareware release has a few restrictions such as limiting the total moves per game if you survive long enough to find out and disabling of the load and save game options as well as the inability to select certain character types and game options. As well as removing these restrictions the full version also has many more classes of characters with special abilities and lots more monsters to fight. This game is a must for all fantasy role playing fans and just the kind of release to convert the uninitiated. This is what quality Falcon software is all about Needs 4 Mb and won t run unless NVDI is installed. JOINT VENTURE DEMO - As the name suggests this demo features the combined efforts of more than a dozen coders graphics and music men from various demo crews and was put together at the Symposium 96 demo party. It starts up looking like it has crashed then the music starts up There s texture mapped spheres multi-coloured plasma effects impressive graphic screens unusual kaliedescope effects texture mapped 3D tunnels an odd multi- coloured rippling effect and more. An excellent example of cooperation between the European demo crews. It s even worth staying behind for the credits RGB ONLY Needs 4 Mb. Hackbear's Demo Compilation No 2 . LCD, Big Demo, Amiga Demo - Classics from the legendary TEX. Knuckle Buster - An early demo by TNT. There are two hidden screens but they don't work on the STE. LIGHT by GCS - A picture of a planet bounces around the screen at quite a speed. It bounces in all four directions and you get rather light- headed trying to follow it. Perhaps this is how the demo got its name! In addition, three spheres move around the screen and a scroller runs along the bottom. THE ENCHANTED DEMO by ICE - This is ICE's first STE demo. The intro screen changes to one which has a scroller, moving chequered floor (which constantly changes colour), three bar graphic equalizers and some music playing in the background. Both screens use no borders. The reset demo gives contact addresses for the programmers. STE ONLY. TRIFIDE by Pressimage France - A Galaxians clone. One of the best shoot 'em ups on the ST! HERO - a Dungeons and Dragons type game. Create your own character then wander through the maze collecting everything in sight. Battle it out with monsters, collect potions, cast spells etc. Very similar to Gauntlet. FIREFORCE by Trigon - An arcade adventure which draws influences from both Dungeon Master and Alien but with a Doom-esque sort of feel to it. You play the part of a Space Marine on a mission to eliminate a criminal organisation known as The Red Hordes. As you would expect, this game is based around wanton destruction. Shoot everything that moves and run for it if your shots are doing no good! There are lots of objects to collect and use, doors to open and dead ends to avoid. A unique feature of Fireforce is its support for up to three players participating simultaneously, either cooperatively or against each other. Alternatively one player can control up to three marines. Control is by joystick, keyboard or Jaguar joypad and you can save your game at any time. The game features DMA sound if running on an STE (but is STFM compatible). You progress from one level to the next by killing all the monsters (or your friend/s if in dual mode) or finding the exit. You have several weapons at your disposal all of which have their stengths and weaknesses. This Shareware version lets you play 3 full levels chosen randomly from 15 (each of which can consist of several floors), the full version has 42. The full version also features three different scenarios and a level editor. Fireforce needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. WELL 'ARD by Cybernation Software - A great arcade type game with huge sprites and plenty of action. As a mercenaries hired to liberate the Empire, you must prove your worth by completing missions on three of the four occupied worlds before progressing to free fourth. Put simply, you must avoid or destroy the nasties and collect all the objects on one level to progress to the next. This Shareware version is password protected so you need to register to complete the game. DANGIMERE II - THE DUNGEON By Jeffrey Bilger - One for Dungeonmaster fans. This is a one level demo of a great game. Explore the dungeon and discover what lurks around each corner. Contains some very detailed somewhat atmospheric graphics. PUNT 2 - You are Lothorin (looking remarkably like a large purple dog) a magician's apprentice. During your master's absence, you have released his pet changelings and you must get them back into their cages before he returns. To return the creatures to the cages you must kick them into the air in this unusual platform game! ST NEWS 7.2 - Yet another action packed 'undead' issue. This one was completed on 9th May 1992, about six years after their first issue. Contents include adventure solutions for Loom, Iceman, Elvira and others, a roundup of over 40 disk magazines, a review of the ST Book, a report from the Mega Lief Convention in Sweden, cheats to almost 300 ST games, reviews of Protext v5.52, ProFlight, Mortimer Plus and Amber Star. There are of course all the regular features as well as 6 hidden articles and lots of articles on non ST related stuff. THE YEAR AFTER by The German Alliance - Boots up with an Amiga Workbench. Click the Trashcan for fun, double click the disk drive icon to open a window. The window reveals 8 icons, each one being a sub demo. A top quality demo with several added gimmicks. MAGNET by Alphatech - An impressive display of True Colour raster and plasma effects with a heavy metal soundtrack. Not bad from someone who doesn t even own a Falcon RGB ONLY needs 4 Meg must be run from 16 colour 80 column interlace on. G LLE AM BACH by Aura - This was their entry to the Fried Bits Competition . It begins with a raytraced scene featuring the Aura logo. A massive 3D cube with Aura written inside it is then created from over 1400 coloured dots and spins and rotates in real time. Just to liven the action up an ape walks across the monitor The next screen consists of wireframe objects calculated and rotated in real time which morph into each other. All dots and lines are calculated using the DSP. RGB ONLY needs 4 Meg. 68XINTER - An impressive raytraced picture by Samuri of Inter for the 680XX Convention of 1993. It uses True Colour overscan mode to display the convention logo against a cloudy sky. RGB ONLY needs 4 Meg. FIRENEWS V0.76 by Christian Andersson - Another news reader program designed to take the pain out of ploughing through all those Usenet newsgroups. It works with STiK or STiNG and provides a slick modern GEM interface. Firenews is under constant development (not all functions are completed in this version) along with its companion program, Babel. Almost everything in Firenews is user configurable, making it one of the best news readers around. Several features (which are already completed) are disabled in this version. These will be enabled when you register and registration is free! Firenews also interfaces with AntMail, Newsie or Infitra to handle your email, providing a total solution for email and newsgroup access. Needs 1Mb and a hard drive. Doesn't run unless NVDI is installed! HTML2TXT V1.0 by Thomas Salin - Converts any HTML file (as found on the Web) into pure ASCII by removing all the custom tags. This program goes further than most in that it reformats the layout of the text to match that of the HTML document. Admittedly it does not handle tables correctly but the ASCII text does give a close match to the original document layout-wise in all other respects. A2HTML V0.3 by Tommy Andersen - Converts an ASCII text file into HTML code. Although you could do this manually, A2HTML inserts the correct tags and maintains the formatting of the original. Characters used in Eastern European languages are handled correctly by A2HTML. When performing the conversion, it converts your text from Atari ASCII to the 7-bit ISO-8859-1 character set to ensure compatibility with users of different machines accessing your pages. It can create its html output from standard Atari ASCII files or ISO-8859-1 files. As well as the executable (for TOS only), C sources are supplied for compiling on the Atari or under Linux. The Linux version even accepts Atari (as well as Unix) ASCII files as its input. THE Z FILES by Roy Goring - Two documents explaining how to set up STiNG for use on Zetnet and how to configure the software supplied by Zetnet in order to get you on-line for the first time. It also gives details on how to get further assistance once you've finally made the connection, so you can iron out any remaining problems. INFITRA V1.0 by Eabe Kuik - Another emailer program. Infitra is very well presented, using the modern face of GEM, is multi-tasking friendly and support graphic cards. It is fully compatible with STiK and STiNG. Infitra features support for multiple email addresses (eg; sdelaney@zetnet.co.uk, floppyshop@cyberstrider.org etc), each with its own mailbox. What's more, your list of email contacts are stored separately for each email account. This makes Infitra ideal for handling "family accounts" where each member of the family can have his email delivered to his own mailbox and can access a list of email addresses which pertain to his contacts and nobody else's. As well as simply downloading your mail, you can also check the mail headers and decide which mail to download and even delete (or defer downloading of) mail with huge attachments or known junk mail without even having to download it. You can attach files to messages and extract attachments which are in uuencoded format and queue up messages for sending at a later time. One of the best mailer programs yet. Please note, Infitra is mono (or graphic card) only. Needs 1Mb and a hard drive. CONTROL EXTENSION v3.5A by Les Greenhalgh - A Shareware STOS extension which adds 55 new commands to STOS Basic. Perhaps the main feature of this extension is a replacement sprite engine for STOS which works on the large hardware scrollable screens of the STE. There are also commands which support the 'extra' joystick ports on the STE, allowing you to write four player games for the STE and use the Jaguar joypad. Other commands allow you to add a switch construct to STOS, get around the strings bug and define up to 65536 zones! If that's not enough, you can remove the screen borders, control the parallel port and much more. Full STOS source and a number of graphic font files are also included on disk. No STOS programmer should be without this disk. Please note that some of the commands are STE specific. FRANGLAIS 3 - By popular demand. The long awaited followup to the programs on EDU.23. A fun way to learn French using this mixture of English and French. This program continues with numbers (up to 30), looks at nouns and articles, the verb 'to be' and colours. It is recommended that users familiarise themselves with Franglais 1 & 2 before moving on to this package. PERIODIC - Displays the periodic table of elements. Select the appropriate abbreviation and display extensive information on that element. Medium res only. MAKIN' AIKEN - An adaptation of an American nursery rhyme. Choose carrots, hamburgers, apples etc to make up the imaginary character, Aiken. Good fun for 4-6 year olds. SOLAR SYSTEM GEOGRAPHY 2 - An interactive journey through space examining the relationships between the Earth, Sun and Moon. ANAGRAMS - A rather complicated and unfriendly anagram generator. I reckon if you are bright enough to work out how to use it, you won't need it anyway! CHEMPARSE - Interprets chemical structures and sub-structures. LIFE v3.1 - A simulation of the 'game of life'. It is based around the theory of cell generations in relation to each other and has many mathematical and logical features. Periodic - An accessory showing the periodic table of elements. SIM_EQ - A program that solves linear simultaneous equations. With the exception of Periodic, all programs are aimed at students in further education. THE POKER MACHINE V1.0 by Thomas Salin - The best ever computer implementation of the card game Poker. It comes complete with stereo soundtrack and effects throughout. You start off with 10 credits and place a bet of 1 to 5 credits per deal can be changed between deals . Assuming you get three or more of a kind two pairs or a flush you gain points which vary dependent on your chosen stake. Each time you achieve a score you get the chance to gamble your winnings double or nothing. If you achieve a high enough score you get to buy stuff . This allows you to gain access to an encrypted archive of the author s other programs Each program has a price tag in points. Assuming you achieve a high enough score you can even purchase the program which creates the archive and pass on your own software to your friends as prizes for achieving high scores in TPM. You are given 10 accounts each with 10 credits. Different players can use different accounts and you can abort a game at any point saving your account credits for later use. This lets you build up enough points to buy stuff over a period of time. The Poker Machine needs 4Mb of RAM and almost 3Mb of hard drive space. INSIDE INFO Issue 51 - This magazine is initially for the members of the New South Wales Atari User group in Australia, but contains many articles which are useful to ALL Atari users. This issue has news on the TT, details of DynnaCadd and Calamus, information on Dave Small's SST board and lots more. There are words from Sam Tramiel, amazing news of the new SyQuest 88mb removable hard drives and a very good Portfolio column. Special interest groups for GFA Basic, STE users and the GFA guide for complete beginners are particularly good. MAGIC SPELLER 95 by Jim Flewker - Teaches the fundamentals of spelling to young children. There's a wealth of material here eg; speech combined with graphics, sprites and hints - all helping children to spell a very healthy selection of graded words. There are 17 separate samples from which to choose, including animals, colours, numbers 'TT and words' and so forth. Press any number to hear the word repeated as often as is required. Should the user wish to set up personal word files, simply run the Editor program and follow the on-screen instructions. The presentation is attractive and while a few words are difficult to understand, the explanation is always given for assistance. Overall, the voice recognition is good. This disk is a 'must' for parents helping their children with accurate spelling. Highly recommended for the variety of features present, including a spelling 'tutorial'. Includes Fast Basic source code on disk. Requires TOS 1.4 or later. TOWERS by JV Enterprises - You have been shipwrecked off the shores of a mystical land. Yourself and your crew have been rescued by a wizard and brought ashore. You are made welcome as you attempt to rebuilt your ship and set sail. The island is governed by numerous lords who live in tall towers, the taller the tower, the wealthier its occupant. One of the lords has not been seen for some time and, in an attempt to earn some desparately needed cash, your shipmates accept a mission to check on his well being. As they enter the tower, the entrance crumbles behind them and you have no idea whether they are alive or dead. You must gain access to the tower and rescue your friends in this enthralling one or two player Dungeon Master clone. Needs 1 Meg for a one player game, 2 Meg for a 2 player game. Towers can be installed on a hard drive. SNIPPIT SYNTH v1.2 by Electronic Cow - A Granular Synthesiser for all Ataris. Granular synthesis is a method of sound generation which uses small sonic events to create a composite sample. In Snippit, you have complete control over each sonic event (or grain), including the type, and its placement in the three axes of audio: time, frequency, and amplitude. Use Snippit Synth to create a vast library of extraordinary sounds, for use with sample sequencers, professional audio applications (like Cubase Audio), or as a source for your MIDI sampler. This demo comes with over 20 sounds for you to experiment with. Although Snippit Synth runs on any Atari, there's no sound output unless you have an STE/TT/Falcon! There are a number of restrictions in this demo version. GNU C/C++ V2.33 - A combined package which provides a complete working environment for developing GNU C, GNU C++ and Objective C based applications. There is no need to use separate compilers, it's all integrated with this package. Unlike previous versions, this package is extensively documented (in ASCII, DVI, MANpage and ST-Guide formats) with comprehensive information on setting up the system and how to use it. In fact even the individual commands are all explained in the manual, making it an excellent programmer's guide. GNU C/C++ is fully ANSI compatible and exists on almost every computer platform, making the code easily portable from one machine to another. Although this package was originally designed for use from a CLI type interface, a GEM based front end (GNU-Shell v2.2) is now available and has been included with the package. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive (full installation requires 12 Mb!). OCR v1.4D by Alexander Clauss - An optical character recognition program. It reads in IMG files created by scanners and converts any text within them into ASCII so that it can be saved to disk and edited within your favourite word processor. You are prompted to enter the ASCII equivalent of any letter not recognised and these are built up into libraries for future use. This means that the next time you encounter that letter in the document, it will be recognised. By saving libraries at the end of each session, character recognition will be much faster next time as OCR will already 'know' the relevant font. Where a font is such that it is difficult to tell certain characters from each other (eg: 1 and l) you can instruct OCR to guess the correct character based upon the other characters surrounding it. This is a very powerful program which is on a par with many commercial offerings, yet it is easy to understand and a joy to use. Obviously you will need some sort of mono scanner in order to scan the text you intend to use. OCR will run on a 1 Meg system but some scans may be too large to load without additional memory. On-line Help in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. Very highly recommended. ALTA LISTA V1.5 by Mathias Jaap - An excellent multi-purpose tool designed for use with the CAB (COM.5552) or Wensuite (COM.5899) WWW browsers. It lets you create html files which list all html files in a specified directory. Clicking onto the entry in the list loads up the appropriate html, regardless of its location on your drive. Alta Lista can also produce thumbnail catalogues of all IMG, PNG, GIF or JPG images from a specified directory. In such cases, the image name and size is displayed beneath the thumbnail. With image catalogues you also have a link to a list of image names and clicking onto these loads the image at full size. An invaluable aid for keeping track of your downloaded html files or even just for cataloguing the images on your hard drive. JOE V1.35 by Rajah Lone - A Web page design package similar to WebSpinner. It lets you type text directly onto a blank page or click onto the required tags from drop down menus. An existing html file can be imported or you can start from scratch. The various tags are all grouped under logical headings so it's just a case of selecting the appropriate tag, then entering the required text between the start and end tag. OK, so you need to know which tags to use but Joe eliminates those all too often syntax errors encountered by those new to html. Finally, Joe links into CAB (or WebSpace) to provide a WYSIWYG environment if running on a multi-tasking OS. Unfortunately both program and docs are in French but the fact that html tags are the same in any language still makes this an invaluable tool. Would anyone like to translate? STiK AUTO DIALER V2 by JFA Software - Place it in your Auto folder and it will give you the option of logging onto the Net using STiK as soon as you boot up. Otherwise you can run it from the Desktop to dial your ISP without having to select the STiK ACC from the Desk menu. GIFMERGE V1.34 by Guido Flohr - Lets you create GIF animations as used on the Web. Specify the directory containing the images and set the appropriate parameters. You can set transparency, animation speed, offset and whether or not the animation should loop. HTML TEXT CONVERTER V1.5 by Stephane Perez - Converts an ordinary ASCII file into HTML format by adding the appropriate headers and line/paragraph breaks. Obviously you'll still want to jazz it up but this program handles the more mundane tasks. In addition, it translates ASCII characters above 128 into their html equivalents, essential for our European friends. Program and docs in English and French. MURKS V1.05 by Christian Lehmann - Removes all unnecessary text from uuencoded files, leaving only the coded part. Extra text (eg; messages) attached to the uuencoded files often confuses uudecode programs. This program eliminates the problem. NET2CAB V1.02 by Mark Hammond - Converts bookmarks created by Netscape Navigator (on PC or Mac) into the correct format for use in CAB v1.5's (or above) hotlist. PROBE HOUSE DIALER V1.4 by William Wong - An ACC based modem dialer. It lets you store up to 500 telephone numbers which can be easily accessed from within any GEM based program. You can use it to make telephone calls (using the modem to do the dialing) or to maintain a list of your favourite BBS numbers. Up to 25 characters can be used as a description for the number and the program works with all Hayes compatible modems. A search function is included, you can set the baud rate for each entry and any dialing errors are reported. TABI v1.5 by Matthias Jaap - Lets you create tables for use in html files from ASCII tables which use commas, semi-colons or tabulators as separators. The easiest way is to create your table in a spreadsheet. You can of course change the text colour, background colour, font size and cell alignment within the table. All this is done without requiring a knowledge of html! Program and docs in English and German. THE BOURNEMOUTH POSTSCRIPT COLLECTION DISK 12 - Contains the following Serif Fonts:- ALBATROSS BOLD, ALBATROSS ITALIC, ALBATROSS, BERNHARD MODERN, BODIDLY BOLD, BODIDLY CONDENSED, BODIDLY CONDENSED ITALIC, BOOKMAN DEMI, BOOKMAN LIGHT, BOOKMAN LIGHT ITALIC, CASLON FIVE FORTY ROMAN, CASLON FIVE FORTY ITALIC. DIAMOND-ICE by Tony Greenwood - A seasonal offering from Mr STOS himself and the direct followup to Heartland. After recovering the 13 Hearts, Sissy and Sassy realise that someone has stolen the Diamonds and Diamond-Ice. Your mission is to locate and melt the Diamond-Ice, thus recovering the stolen Diamonds. As with its predecessor, this is a fun filled platforms and ladders game but with the added complication of puzzles to solve along the way. Meet Eskimos such as Eric & Ernie and Phil & Grant as well as a few sarcastic Snowmen, helpful or grumpy old men and some friendly penguins. They all give hints about the game, ignore them at your peril. Family fun from the ST's leading STOS programmer. Needs 1 Mb. The complete set of C source files for the Sozobon C compiler v1.0 (on LAN.13) and Dale Schumacher's dlibs library v1.2. There's no reason now why you shouldn't write that C++ compiler you always wanted! SUMMONING OF THE SPAWN by Digital Justice - Guide your spacecraft through countless screens. Some turnings lead to the next screen, others lead to the next demo. It is impossible to count how many sub-demos there actually are! MOVIE MASTER by Soft Bits - Originally commercial and now released as Shareware, this package allows you to make your own 'movies from backdrops of your choice, using sprites cut from your own pictures. No knowlege of programming is required in order to use Sprite Master, as everything is done using simple mouse clicks. More advanced animations can be created using sprite sequences imported from Soft Bits' Sprite Master Gold, which is available to registered users. Unlike most animation programs, Movie Master even lets you add sound to your 'films'. Several example movies and sample graphics are included on disk. Clip Art in PCX format (ANIMALS, DINOSAURS) as used by Pagestream 2.1 and the IBM PC.

A collection of three short mono animations created with Imagic. Animations are Karate Kid, Steve Davies and Yak. Yak needs 1 Meg, the others run on a 520. FRANKREICH CLIPART - A Collection of 42 massive IMG scans taken from photographs of France. The scans are diverse featuring national landmarks as well as general pictures portraying the French men and women in typical work and leisure situations. Probably compiled from photographs taken by a German tourist.

MU EDIT V2 - A complete implementation of the Mutt Editor, ported from Unix systems. Mutt is a text editor which is very similar to Micro Emacs. It has its own built-in command language which allows you to customise the program for your own requirements. It also has its own built- in compiler which allows you to compile the code you write. Fully documented. GNU STREAM EDITOR V1.17 - A port of GNU SED from Unix systems. It runs under MINT but only works with programs which run it in a pipe. Since there's no docs with this one, it's really only of use if you have a sound knowledge of Unix systems. THE MASKEN ACID REMIX - Boots up playing Acid House music then goes into a game. Use the joystick to move the snake around, avoiding the walls. Collect fruit and other goodies on your way. Can you survive more than a few seconds! Full source code included in STOS Basic.

POSTCODE V1.2 by Mark Baines - Another CPX for use with Xcontrol. It allows you identify which town any specified postcode belongs to or obtain the postcode by entering a place name. Although set up for UK postcodes the data file can be edited to suit any country. BASE64 DECODER V0.9 by Jeremy Gillet - More and more files sent by PC users across the Internet in email messages use Base64 encoding in preference to uuencoding. The problem is that Atari users can t decode the damned things Well we can now thanks to this useful program. It will decode any Base64 encoded file back to its original ZIP ZOO LZH etc format. RCS30 by Bill Penner - An updated version of Atari s Resource Construction Kit used by programmers to create RSCs for their programs . This version allows larger RSCs to be created is multi-tasking friendly support for colour icons and features many bug fixes over the original. RDXFS - A loadable filesystem for use with MagiC.

Includes full Pure C sources. Docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the example config file. Requires MagiC 3 or later. NEOICONS - A collection of over 500 icons quite a few in colour for use with Gribnif s NeoDesk 4. FALCON WAD TOOL by David Murphy - An innovative piece of software which allows you to modify and manipulate DOOM WAD files on your Falcon. It allows for the easy importing and exporting of resources. Obviously you re going to need a WAD file from a PC magazine cover disk or downloaded from the Net and a suitable DOOM engine for the Falcon there are two on FALC.5528 . Be warned WAD files are massive so you ll probably need 14 Mb in order to do anything useful with this program. MODRIPPER V3.41 by Crashman - As the name suggests this program lets you extract any 4 6 or 8 channel Soundtracker MOD in XM MTM 669 DMF MGT GTK S3M STM NTK FAR PS16 OKTA DTM TCB MDL or MED format or pictures/animations in EGG FLC FLI GIF IFF INDY JPEG PCX PIX PNT TG1 TCP and IIM formats from executable programs. Programs packed using Ice Pack v2.2/2.4 or Atomik v3.5 are automatically depacked prior to extracting other compressed files need to be depacked manually first. DIALER V0 by Jarek Orzechowski - Uses the DSP to generate the correct tones to dial any specified telephone number. Not sure what its use would be in pratical terms but it works The Space Probe Demo using Cyber Studio . Shows a planet's surface with various space probes approaching it. Excellent animation. Needs 1 Meg. BARDSTE - A set of utilities which lets you run Bard's Tale from ramdisk for speed. Needs 1 Meg. CHANGESZ - Changes sectors per cluster on floppies to 1. This reduces 'wasted' space in small files at expense of speed. TREK DB - A mine of info in DBMaster One (UTL.16) format for Star Trek freaks. Covers the TV series and the 5 movies. Gives details on cast, scripts, writers etc. Colour only. DCMSHIFT - Use the right mouse button to emulate the SHIFT, ALT or CONTROL keys. DCRTCALL - Use the right mouse button to call up a file selector (or one of the enhanced replacements). DESKMATE - A GEM based shell which is mostly concerned with file management but a few other utilities are available via menus. Won't run if you have an ICD hard drive attached. Colour only. DESKSWITCH - Change the Desktop layout (by reading an alternative DESKTOP.INF) instantly without having to reboot. ELFBD11 - Another boot configuration system, all the usual features but a little out of the ordinary because it has a GEM type interface with mouse and dialog boxes. FILETOOL - A replacement file selector with file management facilities eg; copy, move, delete, print, rename etc. INSDATE - An accessory to insert the current (if your system clock's right) date into a text file. MEDIA - An accessory which forces the system to log in a floppy disk change. MIDINET - A networking system which connects 2 STs via the MIDI (or RS232) ports to allow disk sharing. PFAX_ST - Looks like something for decoding & printing faxes. Does anybody out there read Flemish? PRINT_SC - A quick screen dump for mono users. RAM_TEST - An excellent ram tester with copious theoretical info. Not TT. SCSI_ICD v1.50 - A SCSI command tester. For hardened hackers only. VDISK3 - An accessory ramdisk. One of the best around. Translated by Robin de la Motte. FROM PICTS TO PARLIAMENT PART IV - This latest addition to the popular series maintains the same humourous yet factual approach to the comings and goings of our Kingly heritage. You will find a lot here that the standard history books don't list. Starting with Edward IV, the program romps through to murder in the Tower of young King Edward V and on to the interesting voyages of Cabot, sponsored By Henry VII. Almost half of the 28 screens are the given over to the life and loves of HENRY VIII, not forgetting the lurid side of his nature! A worthy series, highly recommended. The Cosmic Demos by The Watchmen - This was to have been a Megademo but was never completed. There is a loader and seven sub demos. Exit each demo by pressing the Spacebar. You will get bombs each time you exit a sub demo but don't worry, you will be able to load the next demo without problems. The loader goes a bit wierd on an STE, just press Space to exit it. FRENCH NEW YEAR DEMO 1991 by The Thunderbirds - A most impressive demo with superb sound and graphics. There are six sub-demos, selected using the function keys.will not run on machines with more than 1 Meg. FLOW CHART COMPILER V1.0 - Allows you to create your own problem solving flow charts using a unique flow chart design language. The finished source code can then be compiled and displayed in a GEM window or printed out. The language bears a striking similarity to modern basics and should therefore be easily picked up. APPLIER V1.0 by John Eidsvoog - An innovative program which gives the Desktop's Install Application function, added flexibility. It allows a single file type to invoke up to 8 different applications and lets you pass commands to the application in order to invoke the main application in different ways (eg double click onto an LZH file while holding the left Shift key to list its contents or while holding down the ALT key to extract its contents). CHAIN ST V1.2 by Tony Harris - A GEM based program which must be installed as an Auto application on TOS 1.4 or later. It sets up a ramdisk of your chosen size and copies a pre-defined list of files into it. The advantage Chain ST has over other programs which automatically copy files into a ramdisk on startup, is that it allows up to ten GEM programs to be run as Auto applications on boot up, rather than the usual one. Can be used with Auto GEM (UTL.3232) if you have TOS v1.0 or 1.2. Q2MONO V2 by Awe Q2 - A mono emulator which gets installed on the bootsector of a floppy. You can set the emulation speed and whether or not screen updates should be performed during disk accesses. There's even an optimised version which makes use of the blitter (if available) to speed up emulation. STOSSER MULTI-MEDIA DISPLAYER by Tony Greenwood - This latest incarnation of the STOSSER DOCUMENT DISPLAYER has lots of extras over other displayers. Your text can be edited using the displayer's in-built editor, there's in- built animation and sound (13 types of chip music and three sound sample formats are supported) studios and up to 15 fonts and unlimited pictures can be used in your documents. What's more, your finished documents may be packed using one of six common packers. The amount of user control over everything is staggering. Calling it a document displayer is misleading, it's close to being described as an authoring kit for multi-media presentations! TTF VIEW by Trevor Blight - A simple but handy utility which displays a True Type font on screen without the need for SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 to be installed. This makes it useful for checking out new fonts without having to install them and load up an application to view them. MONO only. iPRN V2.02D by Peter Missel - Yet another printer accelerator. This one claims to speed up printer output by up six times the normal. It also reduces the 40 second timeout experienced if you try to print with no printer attached. The demo has some limitations and registered users get some extras thrown in too. PYSGHAM v2 by STectre - A virtual drive management program. You can create up to eight virtual drives and each drive corresponds to a folder on a real drive eg; D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\ could be assigned as virtual drive N. This means that you access the folder's contents by simply opening Drive N on the Desktop and all file operations using Drive N will be re-directed to D:\UTILS\WORDPLUS\LETTERS\. A great program which eliminates the need to wade through nested folders on a hard drive system. STOSSER Issue 26, 20th April 96 - This is the first issue of STOSSER for 1996 and there's plenty inside it too. There's a whole host of tutorials covering the Control 2, Video and Extra extensions, a beginners' guide to the Sprite commands, details on how to cheat the ST's sixteen pixel boundary with a look into PRESHIFTING, a look at STOS on the Falcon, a feature on packing memory banks, an article on improving the appearance of your menus and a look at the Missing Links BLIT command. There's the latest STOS news, Les takes a look at SAMples and you are given the chance to introduce yourself to other readers by filling in the questionaire. All the regular slots are here, including Telegraph Pole, Contacts, Letters, Adverts, Giveaways, Problem page and The A-Z of STOS continues with N. An excellent issue, well worth looking at.... TCB Tracker modules disk 24 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are PHENOMEN, SUPER2, THUNDER, FLESH, HARDDRIV, ODY, PAZ, RANGER. THE CUNNING DEMOS by ACO and Flair - An impressive collection of around 20 demos written in STOS with contributions from all the best STOS coders including STORM and The Happening Bz. Drive your car along a track avoiding obstacles as you go. Press Space as you pass over the name of a demo to enter it. GRANDAD 2 - IN SEARCH OF SANDWICHES - Grandad makes a welcome return to our screens in the sequel to the game on GAM.3558C. Grandad has got sick fed up of wandering around the house and has got himself a motorbike! Off he goes to the park for a quiet day out. We join him in the afternoon just as he's about to sit down for lunch. There's just one snag, he can't remember where he's left his sandwiches. Obviously you have to find them before the silly sod starves to death! To call this amusing, entertaining and addictive is sheer understatement. It's undoubtedly the best ST game of 1993. This Shareware version is complete in that you can travel around the park but cannot get into Funland until you send you registration fee to the author. Hours of entertainment guaranteed. Needs 1 Meg. ESCAPADE by Kathy Steinbach - In the reign of King Louis VI, in the second medieval age, many thousands of years after the nuclear wars of the 1990s and early 21st century, there was the frightening practice known now as the Steinbach phenomenon. This was basically a form of torture used to give pleasure to its very few spectators and horror to its victims. King Louis' unique variation on this theme was to imprison his victim in a lonely cell atop the sentinel tower, one of the seven gates leading directly to hell lay unlocked on one side of the cell, whilst on the other side lay a door locked by a strange device which was always some sort of puzzle. The victim had as much time as he needed to open and enter the door of his choice but no food or water, thus effectively imposing its own limit of time. The pressure on the victim would sometimes break his mind, when in fact he would, ordinarily, in other circumstances have easily solved the puzzle and escaped, but to what he would not have known. Can you solve the problem and escape? PHANTOM ZONE by Prime Time - You are Dan Yell Flint, adventurer and collector of rare artifacts. A mysterious inscription on an old mirror given to you as a present attracts your attention. As you run your fingers over it, there is a sudden flash. This is the beginning of an extraordinary adventure which will require great courage and determination. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. Yamaha PSS 680 Voice Editor by K R Thompson. Gives full editing control over all 36 parameters available for each voice. Send data to and from ST. Edit any of the Yamaha's 5 voices and save voices to disk for later use. You can even edit the Yamaha's preset voices! Low res only. Midiplay - a German Midi program. Would anyone like to translate? Midi Scope by Martin Russ - displays comprehensive Midi channel information. Medium or high res. Chord Master - enter chords on a graphic keyboard on the ST and output them to Midi. Low res only PSS680 Support Disk - files created on The Music Studio which are designed to be played through a Yamaha PSS 680 keyboard, player program included. There are also a number of other utilities aimed at the PSS 680 user (including a Drum machine and a system librarian). CENPRINT by Frank Schafer - A GTP program designed for use with TOS 2.06 or a replacement Desktop such as TerraDesk or NeoDesk. Drop a file onto it and the data will be sent directly to the printer port, completely bypassing the operating system. It is primarily designed to handle output from programs which print to disk as these files are normally very slow to output using the built-in Show/Print/Cancel function of TOS. DCLICK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you install applications to be started by data files bearing different extensions. You can also decide whether that program should be started in TOS or GEM mode and pass parameters to it. If you have lots of installed applications, this is an excellent way to keep your Desktop/Newdesk INF files down in size. Also, just modify one line in every INF on your system and the same installed application list will be active in all resolutions. DOAUTO 2 by Christian Peppermuller - A boot selector program which lets you set up as many as 30 custom boot up settings. It is particularly useful as it can automatically run programs from outside the Auto folder completely transparent to the user and you can leave useful comments in the configuration files. ACCs can be loaded from the root directory of any drive, not just C. Also, less memory can be allocated to the system during boot up in order to improve speed. Your computer's full memory allocation is restored immediately after booting. ED_E - A basic text editor intended for editing/creating the config files for Dclick and DoAuto. FILELINK by Christian Peppermuller - Lets you create aliases. These are small files which automatically start up the main program. Aliases could be grouped in folders according to program types, although the "real" program is often in a completely different location on your hard drive. Performs the same function as an Alias on the Mac or a Shortcut in Windows 95. TILES - A collection of 38 images which can be used as Desktop backdrops in TerraDesk, NeoDesk, No!Desk, Ease, Thing and other replacement Desktops. They can also be used on the plain GEM Desktop if you have installed Deskpic on UTL.4370. They are supplied as 16-colour IMG files and are of an impressive standard. Great for adding an unusual look to your Desktop. OASIS One Atari Solution to Internet Software V1.35E by Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi - An impressive GEM based front end for accessing the Internet on your Atari. With the advent of cheap high speed modems and local access numbers getting connected to the Internet is seriously worth considering. Until recently Demon Internet were the only service provider to supply Atari software and what was available was command line driven and archaiac to say the least Oasis replaces this with a friendly menu based system which lets you log on and off with the minimum of hassle. Once off-line Oasis offline mailreader and newsreader allow you to browse through your email and your selected newgroups at your leisure. As for sending out email or posting messages to the newsgroups that couldn t be easier. Oasis as supplied is ready to run just alter the setup files to suit and includes an Atari specific guide to get you up and running. The only thing you can t do is browse the World Wide Web but that s promised for v2.0. Very highly recommended needs a hard drive. SET_DEV7 by Mark Baines - Sets device 7 as the default serial port on the Falcon. In serial communications the Falcon specifies device 6 which isn t connected to any hardware port as the default serial port. This causes problems with software which automatically uses the default device without checking. XYZ MODEM 2 - A patched version of XYZ Modem v2.02B which uses Modem Port 2 so as to be compatible with the Falcon. POINT - A text file describing the mechanisms by which FidoNet mail can be accessed by pointing. It describes how a point works how to set one up and a list of recommended software. APOINTS.FAQ - A collection of frequently asked questions about an Atari Point System. It is intended to help answer questions about setting up and maintaining a point system using an Atari computer. It concentrates on the Turbonet T_POINTS but should apply equally well to running a point system for any mail network. STARCALL v2.0 - A completely integrated communications program. It comes in three parts terminal emulator BBS and fax software. You just install the parts that you need. You can run your own bulletin board dial in to on-line services and send/receive faxes all from this integrated suite of programs. The terminal package emulates VT52 VT100 VT200 VT220 ANSI terminals and the Xmodem and Ymodem file transfer protocols are built-in. There s a log book which keeps track of your calls during the month even costing them for you Auto logons to your favourite BBS can be learnt on the fly and a system password can be used to prevent unauthorised access to your system. What s more if you have a ZyXEL modem you can turn your computer into an automated voice mail system The fax module is very powerful allowing you to add logos and signatures to 1st Word/Wordplus and ASCII documents. It even lets you convert IMG files and Calamus documents into faxes. Faxes can be sent at high resolution giving even better results than those produced by a fax machine. You can even set up the software to queue up faxes and answer incoming calls. Shareware software at its very best. Starcall needs a hard drive.

Since the background features an enlarged picture of noodles can we assume this is is what he s chewing SACHIKO - A Japanese woman playing the guitar. SQUARES - An incredible animation of a semi-solid globe rotating inside another. Difficult to describe but well worth seeing. A classic. TIDES - A rather basic representation of low and high tides moving up and down a cliff face. CHIPPIN FOR AIR by The Dead Hacker s Society - A music demo by DHS. It consists of 10 excellent quality originally composed stereo soundtracks all selectable from a main menu screen. These have all been created from sound chip music and converted to 49Khz 4-channel MODs. CHIPPIN FOR AIR 2 - DHS return with a second compilation but this one features 10 new/remixed sound chip pieces converted into 3-8-channel MODs Another excellent quality music compilation. Between the two compilations there s over half an hour s listening material on this disk. MAGGIE 24 INTRO by New Beat Developments - If you haven t seen Maggie 24 on FALC.6144 this is its intro. It features a great soundtrack with a few special effects. It s rather short but well produced. After all it is just an Intro All demos on this disk need 4Mb but run on RGB or VGA. UPGRADE PATCHES - The programs on this disk will allow you to upgrade Diamond Edge from v1.0 to v1.02 or from 1.02 to v1.03. If you already have 1.03 or later then this disk is of no use to you.

MORPION 4 by Patrick Ruiz - Similar in concept to noughts and crosses where each player strives to get three of his own symbol in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). Morpion takes the concept further by allowing you to play on several board at the same time. There are 3D and 4D variations on the theme, making it very difficult to know when pieces on different boards make up a legal line of three. There are several types of board view to choose from, different difficulty levels and the ability to play against the computer or a friend. Mind-boggling stuff! DONKEY ISLAND PREVIEW by Ed Cleveland - An early preview of what could easily become the biggest game release of the year! It is a graphic adventure but don't let that put you off, this one puts the Sierra On-Line games into the wastepaper basket! You control an extremely well drawn cartoon character called Fred and must guide him around his house and beyond into the streets of his locality in search of the lost computer game, Donkey Island.

ZX SPECTRUM EMULATOR V2.07 by Christian Gandler - A ZX Spectrum emulator for the ST. It seems like a silly thing to do but is works! In fact some programs run faster under emulation than they did on the original Spectrum. Simply run the INSTALL.PRG and the complete system (about 1.2 Meg's worth) will be installed to the path of your choice. As well as the main emulator program, there's countless utilities which can all be integrated using the supplied shell. Several different modes of emulation are possible by choosing the settings which best suit individual programs. The joystick interface is emulated, supporting all four types of joystick. The notorious microdrive cartridges are emulated too! Printer output is redirected to the parallel or serial port (you choose) so that you can get printouts from Spectrum programs. This emulator also supports the snapshot files used by Amiga and PC Spectrum emulators. You will need to have access to a 'real' Spectrum with an interface 1 if you want to transfer more programs across. The documentation is excellent and runs to about 90k! A number of Spectrum programs are also included on disk. Needs 1 Meg. SPECCY PRINT by John Bennett - Spectrum programs which allow you to print files from Christian Gandler's Spectrum emulator. Also includes detailed instructions on how to go about doing so and has a couple of other programs (by different authors) for viewing and converting Spectrum screenshots on the ST. ARTEMIS - Another Spectrum emulator from Germany. The program is fully translated but there's not much by way of docs. Soundtracker files with player program .

PHOENIX MANAGER from Application Systems Paris - A very advanced database program which includes countless powerful features. It is heavily icon based, features movable windows and is Multi-TOS compatible. Regrettably, all the text is in German. Your database record cards allow greater flexibility than most and graphics may even be displayed alongside them. Lots of statistical functions are built in, along with context sensitive on-line help. Everything seems to be fully operational with the exception of save. Phoenix Manager runs in any resolution, in low res it achives this by running inside a resizeable GEM window! Needs a hard drive and 1 Meg of memory. TCB Tracker modules disk 2 by Brian Ross .

THE NIGEL SCOTT PICTORIAL CATALOGUE - The first two disks in this set contain thumbnails miniature pictures of each and every one of the 600 JPEGs spread over the 24 disks of original photography by professional photographer Nigel Scott. Although the photographs look quite impressive in miniature it should be noted that they are merely intended as a representation of the full versions which are of a much superior standard. Each picture has its filename printed below it so it is merely a matter of looking up the relevant filename in the catalogue. A copy of the catalogue entries for all 24 disks is also included. ARGV - A well written document explaining the structure and use of the GEMDOS extended argument specification. KILLREGS by Julian Reschke - Overwrites the values of the d1, d2, a0, a1, a2 registers with every GEMDOS call to remove rogue values introduced by certain programs (including ST Zip 2.3 and Xcontrol 1.31).

Every C programmer has his own ideas as to how the source should be indented. This program covers just about every eventuality, with about 30 possible switches which can be set to suit. Now you can reformat everyone else's source code into a format which is more readable for you. Includes full C source. CODEASS V0.48 by Sven Karlsson - An early version of a system which cross- compiles code for the Jaguar on your Atari. Put simply, when used in conjunction with Devpac 3, it lets you write Jaguar games on an ST, TT or Falcon. I have no ideas as to how you get them up and running on the Jaguar as this version comes with absolutely no docs.That said, it looks very promising. JAGUAR EXPLORER ON-LINE ISSUE 2 - A second edition of this popular on-line mag for Jaguar owners.

It is a continuous demo rather than a multi-part demo. Features excellent tracker music created with Audio Master and has good graphics. Rather a short demo with no new programming tricks but worthwhile nevertheless. ST BRIDGE V2.15E by S Norin - A Shareware version of the classic card game of the same name. No instructions given but it should be simple enough if you're a seasoned Bridge player. BIO HAZZARD 2 DEMO by Village Software - A playable demo of the followup to Les Greenhalgh's Bio Hazzard (Shareware version on F.4398) where you wander around the overhead view maze collecting objects, opening doors and firing at aliens. Bio Hazzard 2 is a one of two player strateg based game in which you control a variety of different cyborgs in an attempt to rid the galaxy of the dreaded Xenomorphs. Control is by mouse, keyboard or Jaguar joypad in this turns based game. Each character has a limited number of turns per move and can carry a number of objects with him. A well presented game with lots to do, even in this restricted version. TIMES V1.0 by Jim Baumgardner - A computerised version of Noughts and Crosses (Tic Tac Toe if you're American). Unless it's being played by a young child every game is likely to result in a draw if playing against the computer. The author has addressed this by making the game networkable so that you can play against a friend by modem or MIDI (humans are less predictable than computers!). You can of course both play on the same computer without networking if desired. ANIMATOR v1.0 by Laurent Chaussy - A useful utility which lets you load up a number of TGAs and combine them into an FLC or its own P2D format file. You can also digitise still frames taking separate shots for the red green and blue components using a video camera or the freeze frame of video recorder and recombine the component parts within this program. I assume Vidi-ST or VideoMaster would be used to interface the camera/VCR to the Falcon although no mention of a specific digitising device is made. Similar in concept to MPEG Fever on FALC.5470 but outputting FLC and P2D rather than MPG files. Program and docs in French would anyone like to translate AVI030 V0.51 by STGhost of Sector One - Lets you play AVI animations on your Falcon. You can play either sound or animation or both. Sound is handled by the DSP. Simply drop an AVI file onto AVI030 s program icon or install it as an Application with the document type set to AVI.

All you have to do is put it back in right order by sliding the pieces around! Documentation is in French. KIDMIXUP -Another picture story. You have to get the pictures in the right order before you can go on to the next story. THE ANOMALY MEGADEMO BY MJJ PRODUCTIONS - The menu for this megademo is similar to the game Marble Madness, where you guide a sphere around a 3D landscape. Unlike Marble Madness, you can't fall off the edge! There are about ten easily accessible screens, plus some which are near impossible to get to. The screens include such novel ideas as Karaoke amongst others! There are guest screens by top coders such as Oxygene, DNT and Future Minds. These feature such things as wire frame objects with scrollers suspended inside, fractals, normal and half size scrollers, with various musical and graphical effects throughout. Just to amuse you, there's a story about Mr Costaud, an odd character who would not be out of place in the Mr Men series! The Anomaly Megademo has a good menu which offers a challenge and you won't be disappointed with the screens either. THE TOP NOTCH SOFTWARE UTILITIES COLLECTION - This is a collection of useful utilities and STOS extensions by Wheee The Fibble and ACO of Top Notch Software. COLDBOOT - Simply clears out the entire contents of your ST's memory in the same way as powering down. FIGGY - Reconfigures your computer's memory to make it behave as if it has 1/2 Meg, 1 Meg or 2 Meg of memory. Obviously it can't give you more memory than is fitted but it can give you less and then restore back to normal. It is primarily intended for testing memory requirements of programs and avoiding the 'won't run on machines with more than 1 Meg' problem. HERTZ - Toggles between 50hz and 60hz on a colour display. Has no effect in mono. PALREST - Run this program to save your palette settings. Simply press ALT+HELP to reset your palette back to the default setting. Useful for running after programs which mess up the palette on exit.

ZAK - Simply rename your chip files to end MUS and install this program as an application entering MUS as the doc type. Now simply double-click on your MUS files to hear them. Alternatively if you have Gemini, KaosDesk, NeoDesk or TOS 2 upwards, you can drag the MUS file to the player and drop it on it. ZAK recognises a wide variety of different types of chip music files. SOURCE - Source code in Devpac format for writing your own STOS Basic extensions. MISTY - This program installs the famous Misty STOS extensions as used in the Misty STOS demos on DEM.3474C. There's 21 commands associated with screen handling, disk management, mouse management and other miscellaneous bits and bobs. These commands are either additions to or faster versions of existing STOS Basic commands. The speed is phenomenal! THE MISSING LINK - This the big one! Yes, 50 new commands for STOS Basic dealing with sprites, mapping, printing, graphics, the palette, sound, joystick, file handling etc. All commands give a dramatic speed increase making STOS games and demos run nearly as fast as their assembler counterparts. Apart from the STOS extension stuff, everything on this disk is PD, so if you use the STOS stuff (and you will) then do remember to register with the lads. The High Voltage Demos by High Voltage .

It performs all the 'dirty work' of writing the adventure system, whilst allowing the user maximum control over everything in the game. There are no limiting factors such as the number of rooms, objects, players, verbs and such, as with most adventure creators. However, a sound knowledge of the C language is required to make use of the disk. Obviously you need a good C compiler as well. Both the ST and PC versions are supplied on the same disk. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen - The complete original text to this novel on disk. This work is out of copyright and may be freely copied. STOCKS AND BONDS - This is the game for you Yuppies out there! For up to eight players. You buy and sell stock on the US stock market. Be careful, you might cause another Black Monday! STRATEGO - A strategy wargame written in STOS Basic. Based on the board game of the same name. Well written with excellent graphics. GEMTREK V1.1 by J rgen and Uwe Holtkamp - A cross between Star Trek and Battleships Cruisers. The storyline follows that of Star Trek with your computer controlled opponents being the Kingons or Romulans and your ships resembling famous crafts from the Federation Starfleet. However that s where the similarity ends well almost . Gameplay itself follows that of the Battleships and Cruisers game where the aim is simple to sink blow up the enemy s ships. GemTrek is unsurprisingly housed in a slick GEM interface and runs as an ACC or PRG. It is of course fully Multi-TOS and MagiC Mac compatible. Docs in English and German program in English German and Swedish. On-line Help in ST-Guide not included format. THE ORIGINAL V2.10 by Gerrit Meyer - A faithful reproduction of the original Boulderdash game. For anyone not familiar with the original version you must collect all the diamonds on each level and find the exit to the next level. This is complicated by the fact that rocks must be moved in order to access some of the diamonds and its all too easy to let one drop on your head Certain monsters also aim to impede your progress. You are of course playing against the clock too Fully playable but with certain extras reserved for registered users. Documented in both English and German. A real classic. Golden Soundtracker by Sector One - A demo which plays 10 stereo Soundtracker MODs. Change the tune by pressing the function keys. Good graphics and animation, fantastic sound. STE ONLY. UDO V6 - An application designed to automate the conversion from UDO (Universal DOcument) format to ASCII, ManualPage, ST Guide, LaTeX, Pure-C Help, RTF, HTML and WinHelp on-line documentation formats. The idea is that you learn just one syntax, that of UDO. You then run your source file through this utility to convert it into as many of the supported formats as you require, thus eliminating the need to learn the command syntax for the other on-line help systems. It does work and it works well at that. It's just a shame that you can only convert from UDO, rather than between any two of the supported formats. INFO '91 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 15/8/91 to 31/8/91. M2POSIX - An implementation of POSIX's system calls for Modula 2. If your Modula 2 compiler is anything other than Megamax or TDI, you'll need the GNU C Preprocessor (on LAN.3847) to translate the sources. M2POSIX only runs under MINT (Multi-TOS). Sources and example programs are included. Unfortunately the sparse documentation is in German. MIT2MOT - Converts 68000 assembler source files from MIT syntax (as used by GCC's GAS) to standard Motorola syntax for use with Heat & Serve C (on LAN.3248) and other C compilers. OLS - A linear regression tool ported from Unix. It does many of the things a normal statistics package does by way of linear regressions. Full docs on disk. Multi-TOS compatible.

NOT TOS 2.06 upwards. X29-2A - An impressive animation of a fighter plane staging a fly past. Converted from Autodesk Animator on the PC by Martin Packer using FLICON on ART.3190. This disk autoboots and needs 1 Meg. DAZE ASTER by John King - A graphic adventure game with a difference. Features digitised sound and graphics. You have been marooned on Mars and can't remember how to use the ship's computer! Only trial and error will help here. Can you return to Earth and complete the game?

AFTP V1.4B1 by J & T Krivankove - A GEM based ftp client for use with MintNet (S-COM.5829 & S-COM.5830). Put simply, it lets you connect to ftp sites on the Internet to up/download files. This version has lots of extras including the ability to receive commands from a CLI (or CAB), a hotlist of your favourite sites, drag and drop between local and remote drives and the use of different fonts. It requires MintNet and an AV aware Desktop (Thing, Gemini, NeoDesk 4, Ease etc). BACKPLAY by Gary Priest - Allows you to listen to all those sound samples on the Web. It works in conjunction with NED PLAYER and (unlike similar programs) plays the sound without opening a windows and therefore avoids mucking up CAB. It simply works by passing the filename from CAB to NED PLAYER. BACKPLAY requires a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC or Multi-TOS and of course you'll need NED PLAYER too. FRAC IRC V1.10 by Tim Putnam - A GEM based IRC client for use with STiK. It lets you connect to the real-time on-line chat service which runs on the Internet. In fact #atari is a lively place to be! It lets you set up your entire configuration using a series of menus rather than the ancient script files. Up to 10 (IRC or DCC) channels can be accessed at any time, just about everything can be customised and you can even send files directly from one user to another via DCC transfers. Needs STiK on S- COM.5551 & S-COM.5552. RSVE by Harun Scheutow - A DIY modification to the ST's serial port which allows you to double the maximum speed of the port to 38400 bps, allowing speeds of up to 115000 bps (with compression) using a 28,800 bps modem. Includes diagrams and circuit board layouts as well as full instructions (in German but we've done a RUF translation). This project involves the creating of a GAL device so you'll need to have access to a GAL programmer. XURL V2.40 - Extracts all URL references from the selected text file and places them into an HTML document. Its main use is to extract URLs from your mail or news files created by Oasis and place then in an HTML file so that they can be clicked from within CAB to take you directly to the URL without the need to retype. Obviously CAB is needed in order to make use of XURL. STOS FRIENDCHIP DISK 1 by The STOS User Group Germany - A collection of pictures, music and sprites which are selected with the mouse. This disk also contains three small demos. All of the source code, sprites and music files are on the disk so that you can use them in your own creations.

This latest offerings is a clone of the old Asteroids game but brought right up to date in the graphics and sonics departments. It sticks fairly closely to the original gameplay but with alien crafts shooting at you spacemen to rescue and alien creatures to dodge. The rock sprites are huge solid 3D objects rotating in real time and the gameplay is fast and furious. There are lots of user definable options too. This Falcon version features a 50khz stereo soundtrack hardware scrolling and runs much faster than the ST/e version due to the higher frame rate possible on the Falcon. Undoubtedly the very best Asteroids clone ever written. Needs 4 Meg. GIZMO by The Poltergeists and The Vegetables - A seven screen demo with an oriental feel to it. The screens have scrollers shooting all over them, with great hand drawn graphics. The fonts, like the graphics, have this oriental feeling which is carried throughout the demo. The sound is a combination of both chip music and digital stuff. The 'Wings Of Death' screen has the digitised music from the game as well as a transparent scroller which is very hard to read! Pressing reset brings up the Poltergeists' logo. NOT TOS 2.06 upwards. JINGLE FALCON V1.71.7 by Erik Hall - A jingle program designed for use by small to medium sized radio stations to play back jingles trailers and commercials on a Falcon.

It was designed to work with the IBM 7210, Toshiba XM 3131 and Toshiba XM 3232 drives although it will probably work with others too. S-FALC.4670 AUTOWASCHEN VERBOTEN by Lazer of Independent - This is one of the best Falcon demos ever It starts off with the Laser logo on a chequered background then proceeds to a fake user interface before entering the demo proper. There are about a dozen different parts to the demo which follow consecutively. The effects include 3D solid graphics on a moving background 4D wirefrrame graphics a wibbly wobbly dot generated sphere 3D texture mapped shapes various plasmas and shaded bob type effects a flight over a 3D landscape by day and night and numerous well presented visual effects making heavy use of the Falcon s True Colour capabilities. Probably the best part is the morphing sequence which starts with Spock changing into a Klingon and ends with Miss Piggy turning into Einstein with Batman Lincoln and a few more famous and not so famous people in between. Very highly recommended. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive with over 8 Meg of free space The soundtrack comes from your monitor so you ll get no sound if your monitor doesn t have its own speaker.

DESKICON by Oliver Shildmann - A collection of 200 Shareware icons for TOS 2 upwards and another 200 colour icons for TOS 4 upwards. Picture files containing all the icons and NEWDESK.INF files set up to display them all are also included. FCONTROL V1.0 - A simplified replacement for Xcontrol. It allows you to switch on or off the keyboard click and bell the internal loudspeaker the blitter and the cache. Perhaps the most useful feature is the ability to switch off the hard drive and then switch it back on. FULL RES V1.01 - Lets you get the maximum screen size out of an RGB monitor or TV. It gives you 320x256 320x512 640x256 and 640x512 in place of the standard 200 or 400 lines deep. NOT VGA.

MEGAFLI v1.1 by Rac me Production - Lets you cut a large file into several parts for backup purposes or to let you transfer between two computers assuming the original is too large to fit onto a floppy . You can of course re-combine these with the supplied software. Since the suggested use is for transferring between the Atari and PC both versions of the program are included. MONPATCH v3.6 - Patches v3.01 and earlier of HiSoft s MonTT to allow it to work in the Falcon s new screen resolutions. You must have an original copy of MonTT otherwise this program is of no use to you Source code included. NBCBSxxx V1.0 - A cache program with a difference. Simply replace the xxx bit of the filename with the number of FAT/ROOT and DIR/DATA buffers you require in terms of sectors . SHBUF 1.3 - Resizes the NewDesk.Inf buffers of GEM.

OVERSCAN - Allows you to switch overscan on and off from the Desktop. Simply run this program then change resolution to initialise GEM properly. NOT VGA. PS CONTROL V1.9 - Runs as a PRG or ACC under Multi-TOS and allows you to change the priority setting of programs running under Multi-TOS giving them more or less processor time. RATE HD by ICD - Tests the speed of all hard drives connected to your Falcon both IDC and SCSI and reports back the access time and data transfer rate. RESO v1.0 by Binaris - A utility for programmers who regularly change video modes. Simply set up the number of colours number of columns VGA or RGB and interlace/double line on or off etc. Reso gives you the values for the system variables Setmode and Setscreen. Reso does not check to see if the mode is legal so don t try anything daft RES FOOLER V1.2 - This program attempts to tell your Falcon that you have a different type of monitor connected. In other words you can fool the Falcon into thinking that you have an RGB monitor instead of a TV. This allows many monitor only demos to run. Also you can connect up a multi-sync monitor with a VGA cable but switch to RGB mode in software without unplugging the cable. It may even let some RGB only software run on VGA so long as they don t use overscan. SNDINIT v1.0 - Initialises the Falcon s soundsystem. However what this program offers over others is that you can also set the volume and switch the internal loudspeaker on or off at bootup. SVENSKA - Reconfigures your battery backed RAM so that all the keys on your keyboard are where you would expect them to be on a Swedish ST. SWABS - Allows a resolution of 1600x603 on multi-sync monitors. Don t try using it on ordinary monitors or you could damage them SWITCH V1.01 - Allows you to switch off and on your internal hard drive. WINTOTOP V1.0 - Brings the window under the mouse pointer to the top under Multi-TOS. WinToTop can be enabled and disabled from the keyboard. It only runs with Multi-TOS.

It provides information on hardware TOS memory screen resolution disk drives operating system header block and basepage cartridge and control panel settings important system configuration addresses DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF settings vertical blank interrupts the cookie jar environment variable strings the complete system variables contents and exception vectors. All data can be printed or saved to disk. CURTAINS 2 V1.5 - When activated it flashes and a siren sounds every time someone touches the keyboard or mouse. The display returns to normal and you can access your computer when you enter the correct password FALCADAP - Instructions and a diagram showing you how to construct an adaptor which will allow you to switch between RGB modes and VGA modes on a multi-sync monitor. A certain amount of soldering is required so don t tackle this unless you are competent. MFSFM - A Shareware replacement file selector which is fully compatible with Multi-TOS. This version only displays the first 30 files the registered version has no limit. SAFE SAVER V1.2 - This monitor protector blanks out your screen after a selected amount of inactivity from the keyboard or mouse to prevent burn in. However although it blanks the screen all other processes continue uninterrupted. Ideal if you are transferring large files by modem or raytracing.

Files are DANKEN2, PRIESTS, QRB, SPHERE. MUMMY'S PLAYTIME by Silly Software - Deano makes his return with this highly amusing monster release. It's absolutely packed with sampled speech from the minute you load up. The highly amusing intro ends with Deano playing the can-can on a piano! On the main menu, Mummy (apparently based on a real person) asks you which of the four games you want to play. Here's a quick run down of the four games. BANGMAN - An adaptation of hangman. Mummy thinks of a word and you must guess a letter. A stick of dynamite is placed in the poor sod's pocket every time your guess is wrong. Seven incorrect guesses and Mummy's favourite troll presses the plunger and blows him up! GO TROLL - A version of the card game fish (anyone heard of it?). All the cards feature trolls. Ask Mummy if she has a particular troll. If she does, you get it, otherwise you pick a card from the pile, then it's Mummy's turn. If you collect four of the same troll, you get a "book". The aim of the game is to get more books than Mummy. CHASE THE TROLL -A version of Chase The Ace. Mummy asks you to find a named troll (it helps if you are an expert on trolls!) and you must click onto the card you think has that troll's picture on it. CHOO CHOO SHOE SHOOT - You are on the platform of a railway station and Mummy has lost her shoes. The object of the game is to shoot the pairs of shoes which appear in the train's windows. There are other things, bad guys included, to shoot at. Get hit five times and the game's over! The first Silly Software release in a couple of years and well worth getting your hands on. Although it's obviously aimed at young children, it's a fun game for those of us who have not yet grown up! Needs 1Mb. A hard drive is recommended but not essential. Please note, the four games do not run independently, you need to order all the disks. ' sCOOL NOT SCHOOL by Greenshift - Autoboot for the main menu and make your choice via the mobile fish icon from six interesting, self- contained displays. The choices are as follows. DRAWING - Draw with 3 line thicknesses, use the spray can, select your colours. Load and save or quit to the main menu. Nicely controlled. STICKLES - Great fun. Simply pic a graphic from 6 sets of stickers (6-8 graphics in each set) and paste your selection to make up a picture. A demo sticker points you in the right direction. SPELLING - There are two modes here. The first involves spelling the word displayed by the picture (dog, bear, shark etc), choosing 3, 4 or 5 letter words. The other selection is based on jigsaw spelling. Match a letter with part of the picture to complete the whole. BIRTHDAY BOOK - Pleasant on the eye. You can add names, addresses, likes, dislikes etc. and save to disk. Browse and search facilitiesn are included. SUMS - Try your hand at simple sums. TYPING - Children can type their letters or whatever directly from the keyboard. This disk is highly recommended for the five plus age group. ULTIMATE MUZAK DEMO VOLUME III by PHF - A collection of digitised music from some old ST games. The music in this volume (some of which is multi-part) comes from Giana Sisters, Quick Silva, Stormlord, Turrican, Turrican II, Warp, Z-Out, Lethal Xcess. Good music and not bad graphics to go with it. MEGALINE - A game for up to four players. Each player moves around the screen leaving a trail behind him. Collision with either the trail or the sides of the playing area mean elimination from the game. The winner is the last player left alive. Needs 1 Meg, STE only. RUSH 2 - A game from Sweden where you use the joystick to move a ball around the screen, aiming to collect letters in alphabetical order. Use to Space to change to push mode where you can move some of the blocks which are in your way, thus aiding your progress. There are lots of special tiles and bonuses to collect as well as shooting the enemy. You can play a one or two player game. A very original game with great presentation and very good gameplay once you get the hang of the controls. NOT TOS 2.06. MISCELLANEOUS JPEG PICTURES - A collection of True Colour pictures in JPEG format.

DREAM DIMENSION by Dead Hackers Society - This first DHS demo of 1998 is a rolling demo of various special effects. It starts off with a raytraced DHS logo then moves on to a double-tunnel effect where the tunnels bounce over each other. Then there s a bump mapped zoomer followed by what can only be described as unique tunnel effects and some excellent plasmas. Various other psychedelic plasma effects and more excellent variations on the tunnel effects theme including a bump mapped tunnel and a twisting tunnel complete this production. To call this demo unusual is an understatement but it is very well produced and definitely worth seeing. Read the text file on the disk before running. Needs 4Mb and a FPU. CALAMUS SL 96 - The very latest version Jan 97 of Calamus SL. Like its predecessors this version is fully modular with the user purchasing additional modules if and when required. Calamus SL can create full colour pages and supports colour separation at the printout stage. You can work on up to 7 documents in memory at once and cut and paste data between them. All frame types are cached for greater speed. Features include the ability to create and assign master pages create and save text style lists expand compress and skew text rotate and mirror frames print parts of pages define units of measurement for pages fonts and lines align frames to other frames and choose from three frame display modes transparent opaque and inverse . Although nominally mono only Calamus SL will run on any ST/STE/TT/Falcon on a resolution of at least 640x400 pixels. This means that it will run with large screen monitors and virtual screen emulators in colour. This is a complete implementation of the program with the only restrictions being that you cannot save your work and that a watermark is printed on each page. This latest version is fully MagiCMac compatible allows text to be scaled to the size of the frame includes several new graphic import/export modules includes printer drivers for the HP 660 and Stylus 2 features some improvements to the user interface and includes some new modules. You need to have 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive to run Calamus SL. The more memory and hard drive space the better. THE PLUCKED GOOSE DEMO BY MJJ PRODUCTIONS - A ten demo collection written in GFA Basic, which includes contributions by Oxygene, The Hemeroids, The Eagles and Fantasy. The menu is fairly straightforward and has a scroller running above it. The screens include such effects as scrollers, multi parallax layers and spinning balls which move around the screen, multiplying as they go. In places there several things happening on screen at once, such as scrollers, ball rolls and spinning sprites. There's audience participation in the Hemeroids screen as you get to change the music and the pattern the balls follow. Written in Basic? You'll never believe it! WARNING - contains a lot of bad language. THE ELECTION OVERDRIVE DEMO by The Moskavites - A collection of screens spread over two disks. Everything is written in good old STOS and there is only one screen which has a scroller (a welcome relief!). The screens all follow on each other, just press Space to move on. The only one this doesn't work for is the fractals screen which cannot be exited (you have to wait until it has finished). One of the screens involves clicking the mouse over a number of pictures in order to listen to various pieces of digitised speech. There is also a screen with a sample and picture of John Major! The rest of the demo has a couple of 512 colour pictures and a combination of chip and sampled music. Stereo sound can be sent out through the STE stereo jacks or to a stereo cartridge or via a sampling cartridge to your Hi-Fi on an STFM. Be ready to swap the disks when prompted, otherwise the demo will terminate (you don't get long!). This two disk demo is an example of what is possible with STOS from one of the smaller coding groups. Needs 1 Meg. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FLORLB, FLORLEFT, FLYER_BL, FLYER_EX, FLYRLEFT, FORMA2, FORMALS1, FORMALSC, FORMSC__, FRANCEB, FRANCEN, FRATLA__. Clip Art in IMG format.

ASCGIF - Converts a GIF picture into an ASCII representation. Useful for previewing GIFs. ASCII TABLE V1.0 - A CPX which displays all 256 ASCII characters along with their decimal hex octal and binary equivalents. COMPACT DIR V3 by Chet Walters - Allows you to print out a directory listing from any drive from A to P using condensed print on an Epson compatible or HP Deskjet. You can specify file types to match if desired. This version is compatible with Atari s CDAR CD-ROM drive so it should be compatible with other CD ROM drives which use MetaDOS. Conflicts with certain ACCs and Auto programs so best run on a clean system. CFN2DMF - Converts Calamus fonts to PageStream format. You can even specify font attributes such as bold italic etc. Works on non-protected fonts of up to 37k in size. CLOGG V2.1A - A superb Desktop clock which displays at the top right hand side in the menu bar. You can set it to display time date standard RAM alternative RAM or total RAM. Two displays can be selected and both are displayed in the menu bar. If both displays are the same it is shown only once but at twice the size. One of the better Desktop clocks. EPSXCVG - Converts PC and Mac EPS files and Adobe Illustrator format graphics to Calamus CVG. It also converts CVG to EPS. FALCON SX V0.9 - A useful ACC which allows you to set the CPU and blitter to 8Mhz or 16Mhz set the bus to Falcon or STE set the video frequency to 78hz on multi-sync monitors set the volume of the internal loudspeaker switch the internal hard drive on or off connect ADC to DAC examine the Cookie Jar or examine the Crash Page. FALCON SCREEN V2.0 by DNT - A modified version of Markus Gutschke s program which allows you to achieve higher than normal resolutions on VGA monitors usually about 768x576 in up to 256 colours on a basic VGA without additional hardware. This version also works on RGB monitors giving up to 1664x592 in 16 or 256 colours and is NVDI compatible. Don t save your selected configuration to your original copy otherwise it will be fixed permanently. USE THIS PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK. FUZZY CLOCK V1.14 by Stefan Radermacher - A Desktop clock with a difference. It displays the time in the top right corner in the menu bar in words rather than numbers i.e. 10 past 12 or Ten past Twelve . Text can be configured for English German or Dutch. Updates every five minutes. FILE CAT V1.4 - Creates an ASCII file showing the contents of all directories on a specified disk or hard drive partition. When you next run File Cat as well as creating a new ASCII listing it creates a delta file detailing the changes between the two lists. The program then backs up only the files which have been changed as per the delta list. You directory listing can also be printed from within the program. FIX_FLOP - A TOS patch for TOS v2.06 3.06 4.01 4.02 and 4.04 which replaces the Getbpb routine for floppies allowing them to correctly read and write disks with 12-bit and 16-bit FATs as used by MS-DOS v5 and v6. It also patches three other bugs in TOS. FS_DUMP by M Soft - A screen grabber which dumps the contents of the screen to a file on disk by pressing the ALT HELP keys. It runs in any resolution supports screen enhancers such as BlowUp and ScreenBlaster and you can even change resolution after it has been installed. It saves in a raw BLD format. Does anyone know how to convert this to something useful GO_70HZ - Switches a VGA monitor from 50hz to 70hz in order to get a much shaper picture. This is not a screen expander in fact the screen area is reduced. It uses the beta test routines from a hardware screen expander called Screens Pain which is being developed by the authors. Not suitable for RGB monitors. HICKORY V1.0 - Yet another clock program. This one is in a square faced analog clock. It can be displayed in a window or on its own and can be re- sized and moved to suit. It also allows you to set up an alarm. HOW FAST V1.12 - Tests any selected drive and displays how fast it reads and writes data on a graph. BOOT INIT V1.1 - A CPX which allows you to alter various setting within the Falcon s battery backed RAM. Use with caution.

RGB monitors only. THE SAVER V1.0 - Yet another ST/E emulator which lets you set up the blitter and CPU frequency STE compatible addresses and the likes. This one reboots the machine and can only be activated if the hard drive is switched ofFALC. Press CTRL ALT CLR to bring up the menu. It looks very capable but the docs are in French RGB monitors only. SCHALTER - An ACC which allows you to switch the internal speaker and IDE drive on or ofFALC. SEARCHER DELUXE V2.02 - Searches through all specified directories or drives to find files which match your selected settings. Once found you can get info on them delete them or alter the flags in the program headers. SENTRY PACKER V2.20 - The latest version of this executable file cruncher. It is cache friendly and includes a sample packing option and can depack its own files even those created on earlier versions . Very similar to Ice Pack but with the option to specify the name and path for the packed file. SJVGAFIX - An alternative loader program which lets you run the Space Junk Demo on a VGA monitor. SOUND THRU - Connects the microphone socket to the headphone socket so that as soon as you start recording you can hear the output. This program does not slow down your system. STATIC PLASMA by DNT - Writes a bootsector to your floppy which displays a plasma effect in 65536 colours Two types of bootsector are possible. The first is a single plasma screen. The second consists of endless screens. STOS FIXER V3.0 by Robert Quezada - This program fixes most STOS programs so that they run correctly on the Falcon. Please note that fixed programs only run on your own TOS version and no others. This is not a universal fixer program. TWOINONE V1.51e - An archiver shell which supports the ARC ZIP LHZ ZOO and ARJ archivers. It is similar in operation to the GEM shell used in ST ZIP and is fully compatible with Multi-TOS and other multi-tasking operating systems. Now supported in the UK by the InterActive Shareware scheme. VOICEDEM - A demo of speech using the Falcon s audio sub-system. You can type in a line of text and it will say it back to you. Speaks with a German accent Source code available from the author. XB PATCH - Another Auto folder program designed to make the Falcon more compatible than with the STE. Only works with TOS 4.02. 50_60HZ - Switches your monitor s display from 50hz to 60hz and vice versa. RGB only. RESETCOL - A tiny program which resets the colours on your Desktop to the default colours. Useful for running after programs which mess up the palette when they exit. DCLOCKF V1.0 - An ACC which opens up a large window displaying a digital clock. Requires at least a 16 mode. Click inside the window to display the date.

Unfortunately this version is in German. BINDIFF/BINPATCH V1.4 by Robert Federle - Two programs which allow easy updating of programs from one version to another. BINDIFF allows you to create a patch file containing only the differences between file A and file B. BINPATCH then lets you apply the patch to file A in order to change it into file B. Some applications particularly Unix derived ones insist in using the Binary Diff method for upgrading from one version to the next. Unfortunately the programs and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. COOL WAVE ARCHIVE CONVERTER CWAC V3.02 by Lee Offenberger - Automates the conversion of archives between ARC LZH ZIP and ZOO formats. Simply select the source and destination formats and CWAC will do its work. Please note that you will require copies of the appropriate archivers as CWAC is merely an easy to use shell which calls the appropriate packers as required. If files selected are not already archived they will simply be archived using the selected archiver. ALT HELP by Gen Wax - Simply run from the Desktop and fill a few details into the dialog box. Quit and the program sits invisibly in the background. Now press ALT HELP to save the currently displayed screen to disk. Works in all modes saves screen or your selected portion of the screen as raw data for use by programmers. Palette can be included with the image or saved separately. Assembler sources included. BAD SHELL V2.0 by Vanel R mi - An easy to use GEM based shell for Bad Mood Doug Little s DOOM engine on FALC.5528. Everything is selectable by simple mouse clicks thus eliminating the need to type parameters into the TTP. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. BOOTNAME v2.12 by P Lafont - Yet another boot selector program. As well as allowing you to select which Auto programs or ACCs you wish to boot up with this one lets you assign different setups to sets so that you just need to select the appropriate set for your session rather than switch individual items on or off each time you boot. It also lets you switch STE compatible mode ON/OFF and switch the CPU or Blitter to 8/16 Mhz. BSTAT V2.48 - A sophisticated graphing and statistical analysis program. This program is aimed at the scientist and mathematician or students studying these subjects. The program is extremely complicated but has immense power. You can load DIF ASCII PRN WKS or SYLK formats and save data as DIF ASCII or PRN. You can generate Durbin-Watson Friedman Kolmogorov Spearman or Wilcoxon tables and on-line help is available. BStat has over 80k of documentation on disk. Now SpeedoGDOS compatible. SYSTEM AUDIO MANAGER (SAM) V1.3 - Originally bundled free with the Falcon, JTS Atari have now given permission for SAM to be distributed freely. Despite its Falcon roots, SAM runs on any Atari computer with DMA sound (STE/TT/Falcon). SAM allows you to attach sampled sounds to system events eg; an explosion to bombs, Big Ben chiming for the system bell sound and so on. Alerts, file selectors, closing windows, indeed any GEM event can have a sample assigned to it. In addition, you can assign different samples to the keys on the keyboard. Press Help and it says 'Help', press Undo and it says 'Undo' etc. Adding samples to every key goes a bit over the top and can be off-putting, especially if you're typing! SAM accepts sound samples in AVR or WAV formats, so you can use any the masses of PD samples available. Create your sounds using any of the available sampling cartridges for the ST. If they do not save in AVR format, use Five To Five on MUS.5304 to convert them. SAM's built-in sample editor is simple to use and more than adequate for tidying up your samples. SAM was designed in such a way that programmers could make their programs SAM aware. When running such programs you can assign samples to various events handled by that application. To be honest the possibilities were endless, the problem was that nobody ever supported SAM in their programs. The reason appears to be due to a bug in SAM which meant that the configuration files were not read correctly. This version has been patched by Kosmic Phish Productions to fix the bug (the last official version was 1.2). SAM is very well documented (on disk) and includes a full tutorial. SAMPLES - A collection of 40 sound samples to get you started with SAM. KP SACK V1.0 - An easy to use editor for creating SAA files. These are configuration files created by programmers of SAM aware application. They are read by SAM to determine which samples to assign to which events. KP SACK allows you to create SAA files easily. It also extends the Applications Global function in SAM. This function lets you set up common events for all SAM aware applications rather than (or in addition to) program specific ones. The original set of Applications Global functions have been further extended by Kosmic Phish to include 16 new Application Globals which include support for some of the more modern GEM features such as iconification and tile/stack windows. KP SACK is an excellent tool for programmers. Needs 1 Mb. STE ONLY. CLUB70 by Symphonics Division - Demo version of a patch editor and librarian for the Yamaha DTS70 drum trigger system. Club70 includes several features which assist the management, editing and creative process of using the DTS70 for percussion as well as keyboards. It lets you edit two banks simultaneously and cut/copy/paste freely between them. In addition, you have full control over Performance an Chain patches via mouse or keyboard and can trigger sequencers by automatically assigning chords to different pads. The demo is fully functional except that you cannot save banks, transmit banks or print and a few other functions are disabled. Includes an extensive 'get you going' guide on disk. Colour or mono, needs 1 Mb. COMPUTER HISTORY V1.3 - A sampler of a package which chronicles the history of computers over the years. This demo features background information on 36 computers including such notables as the Xerox Alto, Atari ST, Apple Macintosh, Acorn Achimedes, Commodore Amiga and Sinclair Spectrum. Each entry lists the basic memory, CPU & speed, built-in software, storage method used, year of release and gives some background info on the machine. The demo is worth getting just out of curiosity if nothing else. As for the full version, it has stats on over 1500 different systems running into over 17 Mb of compressed data! It includes much more background on the machines and articles on the big names in the industry including Nolan Bushnell (Atari founder), Bill Gates (we've all heard of him!), Sir Clive Sinclair and Jeff Minter! Full version from Top Byte Software. Colour only, needs 1 Mb. 28 Publishing Partner Fonts . Can be converted for use with Page Stream.

NO DESK V3.04 by no Software - An innovative Shareware replacement Desktop from one of Germany s leading Atari developers. No Desk goes further than most products of this type eg icons on the Desktop jazzed up interface file aliases etc with everything being fully customisable to your own preference. It can even be used in conjunction with MagiC Multi-TOS or Geneva to provide a fully multi-tasking compatible interface for those systems. No Desk can be operate if required as a multi-user system and includes built-in multi-user management and password protection for use with such systems. It makes use of a modern 3D interface and shared libraries to reduce memory overhead when running programs which are no System included with the package aware. Unlike other replacement Desktops No Desk is object orientated and you yourself can define the rules as to what action is performed when any two objects interact. Better still why not have a pop-up menu to give you a choice of different actions There s even a CLI window so that you can use No Desk s built-in programming language directly from within the system. Also of note is the fact that No Desk has its own archiver drivers view or extract contents of LZH and ZOO archives by double-clicking them graphic drivers view IMG IFF CRG PBM PI1 TPI and other formats by double-clicking them and scripting language so that you can automate routine tasks . A very highly polished Shareware product. Now in English. Needs a hard drive. STEN #2 - This issue features a competently written front end from which you can load and view articles and pictures.

Please note that this file requires Papyrus 4.35 or newer. Use it as is or amend to suit. PAPYRUS FONTS by John Godbey - Early versions of Papyrus were supplied along with a CD containing 500 True Type fonts. The only problem was that no printed examples of the fonts were given. This collection of Papyrus documents allows you to print out examples of the fonts from the CD. It does not contain examples of all 500 fonts, but does feature at least one example (usually more) from each font family. Obviously it is only of use if you already own Papyrus and the 500 Fonts CD. Please note this file requires Papyrus v4.35 or later. LED CLOCK v6.0 by Eric Hall - Displays a clock face and shows the seconds as they tick away. A digital display is shown in the center.

There's also a sample N_AES.CNF file which is commented in English. S_TIDYUP by Swampdog - A useful utility which lets you shut down after a predetermined time, force an invisible mouse pointer to re-appear, turn off the flashing TOS cursor, enable/disable screenwrap etc. Most useful under a multi-tasking OS. UKEX V4.5 by Ulf Ronald Andersson - Allows you to customise your keyboard layout. Most useful if you have a keyboard of a different nationality and want to use your "usual" keyboard layout. As well as merely designating which letter is activated by which key, UKEX also allows extra characters to be accessed by using the SHIFT, ALT, SHIFT+ALT and CAPSLOCK keys. IMPULSE by Duranik - An excellent Arkanoid clone. For those unfamiliar with the original game you control a bat with the mouse and must use it to hit the ball and break through a wall of coloured bricks. Miss the ball and you lose one of your three lives. Destroy all the bricks to progress to the next level. Some bricks require more than one hit others release bonus objects. Collect these to further enhance play. Impulse features 40 levels with a password every five levels. Note down these passwords to resume from the same point at a later date.

THE ULTIMATE VIRUS DETECTOR V2.42 by Daniel Hogg - An ACC based virus killer. It checks memory as well as disks and sits in the background monitoring each new disk inserted into the Drive. As well as recognising a large number of bootsector viruses, it also alerts you to unknown executable bootsectors so that you can check them out. VOFA 4000 V1.03 - Another Shareware DIY project which lets you build the necessary hardware to connect an ET4000 graphics card to an ST in order to use a VGA monitor displaying up to 32,000 colours. It is really intended for fitting into the VME slot inside a Mega ST (doesn't work on a Mega STE) but it is also possible to fit to to an STFM (but not an STE), although that involves soldering wires directly onto the 68000 CPU and you will need to recase your FM as there's insufficient space beneath the shielding to house the card. The package includes full instructions, driver software and images of the GAL chips required for the modification. The entire DIY project is contained on the disk for you to undertake yourself. If you don't have the facilities to create the circuit board or GALs these can be purchased directly from the authors. In fact you can buy the full package ready to install if required, it's up to you what you build yourself and what you purchase. Please note that you'll need at least 1 Mb of RAM and a copy of NVDI for ET-4000 (although this too can be purchased from the authors).

Much work has and is being done on this comprehensive compressing system. Very extensive documentation is included with ARJ.BETA and the various supplied versions of UNARJ. Documentation does include various ways to get ARJ.BETA up and running either by using an alternative Desktop or installing as an installed application. The UNARJ programs supplied are FAST and the tables provided show that this implementation of ARJ is a powerful contender against ZIP and LHARC etc. COOKIEXX V1.0 by Marc Billiet - Creates a Cookie Jar at startup (on TOS versions below 1.6) of a size that the user can choose by renaming the xx part of the filename to the required size. HEADMINI by Merdoc Macgee - This program is meant to be used in conjunction with HEADSTART or TOS 1.4's autobooting capability for autobooting any program when you desire an additional pause before having that program executed. HTML_2KRZ by Wils Ekholm - A *.KRZ-File for Everest. It is designed to speed up the development of HTML v2.0 documents using the Everest text editor (or an editor that can handle Everest *.KRZ Files).

There is an article explaining many computer terms, a great poker game for the Portfolio, written in Pascal, an on-line conference with the Codehead Technologies team, tips for buying expensive printers and a column for 8-bit users. There's also news of a 160MB Quantum 2.5 inch IDE hard drive (i.e. Falcon compatible) for only $400! ATTACK - Based on the classic game "Thrust". The aim is to destroy everything on each level so as to make progress into the game. Coins can also be collected and used in the shop to buy additions to your spaceship. RABBIT by Jugen Reichenwallner - A great little game for children. Bounce the rabbit into the air to collect the horizontally moving carrots. SANTAWRK - Similar to Rabbit except that this time Santa must be bounced to collect candles as they move across the screen. TESERAE - A Tetris variation with rasters behind the falling blocks. The usual rules apply in this colourful game which is played over six different levels. WORM - You are the hero Ooey Gooey worm and your task is to rescue worm eggs from monsters.

AV TEST V1.1 by Alexander Barton - Searches for the active AV server in your system and displays a list of its capabilities (some AV servers are more functional than others) along with the AES version number. Of no use unless you are running a replacement Desktop (eg; Thing) which is AV compatible. AV SERVER V1.1 by Alexander Barton - An AV server for use with MagiC and MagXDesk. MagiC versions prior to v5 did not incorporate AV support and v5 only implements it partially. This program adds full AV support to MagXDesk. It is only required if you are using MagiC with MagXDesk, it is not needed if you are using Ease as your replacement Desktop. RENAMER v1.0 by Lxix Software - Lets you rename any file using lower case or "illegal" ASCII characters. FILECALL v1.0 by Lxix Software - Brings up the file selector from the Desktop. It can be useful when Freedom and other replacement file selectors are installed as they offer easy access to many Desktop functions. LIFT OFF by Lxix Software - A simple to use program launcher for use under single TOS. Once set up, just click the name of a program from its menu to run that program, no matter where it is on your hard drive. MAGIC IDE PATCH V2.1 by Daniel Hedberg - Forces MagiC to bypass the check for IDE drives on an ST fitted with the H&N Multiboard (probably works with the IDEal board from TUS too). MAXMOVE V1.0 by John Curtis - An Auto folder program which lets you display random backdrops (with Desktop replacements such as Ease, Thing and NeoDesk) and automate certain functions such as the copying of files to a ramdisk or moving/renaming files. RAM LEAK - Monitors RAM usage to check for RAM leakage and seals off any leaks found. RAM HOG - Lets you set aside a predetermined amount of RAM for use by programs which usually grab all available memory so they are restricted to using the specified amount of RAM. RAM Leak and RAM Hog are really designed for use on multi-tasking systems and come with no docs. RAM SCAN by ELF Software - Displays a map of RAM usage. Moving the mouse over the graph displays the name of the application occupying that memory space. Only runs if Geneva is installed. RESOURCE MASTER V2.11E by Armin Diedering - An excellent resource file editor which can handle the DESKICON.RSC files used by TOS 2.06 and above as (including colour icons for TOS 4) well as regular RSC files. Very well documented in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. Supported in the UK by InterActive. VIDIGRID by Tony Greenwood - A superbly addictive game for all ages. The aim is to re-arrange the pieces of a jumbled up picture so as to re-create the original. It's not as easy as you'd think, especially since you are dealing with moving pictures! Just to liven things up, there are 4 video clips on each level and multiple levels (the screen gets 'chopped' into smaller pieces on higher levels. Highly amusing entertainment. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are ABODES, AROUND, BORDERS1, BORDERS2, CAR, CAR2, CARTOONS, CHEESEBD, COLUMNS2, COLUMNS3, DESKITEM, DINGBATS, DISPLAYS, EUROPE, EYEHORUS, FAMILY, FRENCH, FRIEDEGG, GREEK, JUMBO, LITERARI, LOVESPOO, MOVER, MOVING, ORCWARR, PHRASES, PLANE, POSTIE, SNAKE, STENCIL, TETRAGRA.

THE NEXT GENERATION by Warning Sign - A bat flies across the screen, a picture of Dracula appears and the demo is announced! This demo consists of a collection of well drawn Spectrum 512 pictures. The pictures look original and are mostly futuristic in design. Chip music plays throughout. NOT STE. TOWER POWER - An arcade/strategy game for 2 to 4 players. The game is played on a board, rather like chess. Each player controls three characters and attempts to defend his tower. Your characters move around the board and when two opposing characters meet, a combat sequence takes place. The loser dies and the victor survives to fight another day. Take control of your opponents' towers to achieve complete victory. MUSIC FOR THE MASSES III by NPG - 7 excellent MOD files which are loaded from a main menu. THE NTM DEMO by Zuul - This is one of the biggest and best demos ever seen. Featuring 20 sub demos by almost as many demo crews from across Europe, this one will take some beating. You fly your futuristic fighter plane (which looks like a giant shrimp!) across a battlefield shooting everything in sight. This is a game and you get only three lives! Lose a life and you continue where you left off, lose all three and you're back to the beginning! Press Space as you pass over the name of a demo. Control your fighter using the cursors or a joystick and go as fast or slow as you like. Change to disk 1 or 2 as denoted by the disk number quoted on the demo name. Truly amazing in every way with a few new tricks thrown in too! INTRO MAKER V1.5 by Robin Ball - A really simple to use intro creator. It allows you to display a Degas screen, play a Soundtracker module and run through a scrolltext all at the same time. Anyone can create an impressive intro to their blockbuster game or demo in a matter of minutes! This program requires no knowledge of programming. All you need are a text editor to write your scrolltext and an art package to design your picture. You even get a selection of eight AKB MOD files and a conversion program which lets you convert Soundtracker MODs into the required format. Similar to Intro Concept but easier to use and utilising tracker music rather than soundchip compositions. THE ATG MEGADEMO - A 2 disk set. Features 11 sub-demos (including a reset demo). All demos are of a remarkably high standard. Use the cursor keys to choose the required demo and Space to load it. When the background on the loading screen turns purple, press Space again to enter the demo. This is the second (and regrettably the last) demo from ATG and it took about six months to write. THE JURASSIC COLLECTION by The Golden Otter - A massive collection of over 130 very high quality scanned images of Dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals such as the early descendants of man, cats, dogs,sheep, rabbits, cattle and elephants. There's also a few examples of early fish and plant life. This collection is ideally suited for educational use. All files are in IMG format and are intended for use within a Desktop Publishing program. A Floppyshop exclusive. A GRUMBLER IN THE RUTTING SEASON by Electricity - A great intro starts this demo off. The main menu is a series of 3D rooms. Simply guide the robot around and go through the doors leading to the ten rooms. Each room contains a door leading to the previous room, another to the next room and any others lead to that room's demo (most of which are fullscreen). Effects include vertical rasters, shaded bobs, scrollers, fractals, starfields etc. The best screen is a guest screen by Sanity which has a series of Atari logos which are zoomed in and out to give a 'bouncing ball' effect. A great demo which is well worth adding to your collection. NOT TOS 1.62 upwards. COMPUTER SCHOOL 1 by Wiztek - Handles the addition and subtraction of numbers. Selection is made from the main screen by mouse and is in the form of +, - or mixed numbers. The graphics are somewhat slow but the program does its job efficiently and selection of the required number is made by sliding the mouse pointer to the required answer. The . three different levels are simple (numerically up to 1O), easy (up to 3O) and difficult (up to 1OOO). COMPUTER SCHOOL 2 by Wiztek - One or two players may participate. In the event of a one player selection, the child plays against the computer. Spelling is the aim of the game. Select a colour coded car from the initial screen and two are shown at the top of the spelling screen. Should a word be spelled correctly the owner's car moves along a notch, incorrectly and the opposition's car does the same. 25 pictures provide the questions and the word is entered by mouse from the alphabet shown on screen. COMPUTER SCHOOL 3 by Wiztek - Like Computer School 2, this program is for one or two players and involves the matching of numbers, letters or pictures on the basis of first viewing a screen to see where they are located and then clicking on a matching pair when the same grid is presented in a blank form. The program has been well designed. There is a 1OX5 grid for each thus providing 5O blank squares for the search. The time allowed to LOOK at the location of the matching pairs is some 2O seconds (assessed). In the SUPER section, the user is required to find 1OO pairs, again with the preset time feature. Digitised speech advises whether or not a match has been made. Strictly for the WHIZ KIDS with fast photographic memories! FLIP FLOP - This program, written in STOS, does nothing more than teach times tables up to 12. Professional GEM No 2 . As GEM.02. Contains the rest of the series of articles. Once again articles, source codes and executable programs using GEM. The complete GEM collection are an invaluable source of reference to programmers. ST+ ISSUE 1 by Dan Hollis - Launched in January 1996 this is one of the newer disk mags to hit the ST scene. It starts up with some digi-pics of the contributors then moves onto a stylishly designed interface with almost 50 articles selectable from a scrollable list. It's a general interest publication aimed at a broad cross section of readers. It is primarily ST based but also caters for Falcon, Jaguar and Lynx owners to a lesser degree. There's also a generous helping of Star Trek related material in each issue. This first issue has reviews of the Power Drive (external floppy), Protext v6.04, Civilisation, ST Beermat, the Atari Jaguar, Super Starioland, Carrier Command and Frontier. There's hints and tips on Frontier, Terradesk and NeoDesk 3 as well as DIY projects for fitted a high density drive and extending the screen on an SM124. Other features include STOS programming, music reviews, short stories and much more. Not bad for a first issue. MISCELLANEOUS CLIP ART IN IMG FORMAT . Files are 23_HRGLS, ANGELBAL, BADFINGR, BEATLES, BOC, BOO, BOXER, BREAD, BUMBBEE, CAMEL, CAPTAINB, CAVECOP, CAVEMAN, CAVEMEN, CCR, CLIPART3, CLOCK01, CLUNKER, CTNBANA, DOORS, GD, HARLEY_4, HAUNTEDH, HENDRIX, HUNTER1, IRNBTFLY, ITCHY, JA, KANSAS, MANMONEY, MOODYBLU, MOUNTAIN, NIGHTCLB, PARTY, PEOPLDOG, PEOPLE1, PLACES1, PLACES2, PORSCHE, PORSCHE2, PORSCHE3, PORSCHE4, REGAL, ROLLS, RUSH, SABBATH1, SABBATH2, SAMPLE1, SAMPLE2, SAMPLE3, SAMPLE4, SAMPLE5, SCRATCHY, SIGNS1, SIGNS10, SIGNS11, SIGNS2, SIGNS3, SIGNS4, SIGNS5, SIGNS6, SIGNS7, SKULPHON, SPIRIT, STARS01, STARS02, STEPPENW, SWTLEAF, TDREAM_1, TDREAM_2, TRAIN2, TRANS1, TREE_PST, URIAHEEP, WORKMAN, WREATH, XMAS, XMASTREE, YARDBRDS, YES, ZEPPELIN. FUNNY PAINT V1.7 by Patrick Eikhoff - A GEM based paint package which runs in 2 16 or 256 colours. It supports Degas STAD ART TIFF IMG NEO and a few lesser known format. It is a bit picky about what it will load uncompressed files and only in the correct resolution but it does have a few extras over normal paint packages. In particular it concentrates on 3D objects and has lots of special effects many of which are stunning in 256 colours. Funny Paint also supports the use of Speedo GDOS fonts. All in all an interesting if a bit quirky package. Unfortunately both program and docs are in French. PICFIB V1.1a - A slideshow program with a few differences. Picfib currently supports the viewing of IMG Degas PCX and GIF images. Lists of images can be created and individual pictures assigned tags . These tags are then used as basis of searches so that only files in the list which match any chosen tag or tags will be displayed. Picfib runs on any Atari but pictures with less colours than the current resolution will look pretty awful If you ve got lots of pictures especially clip art on your hard drive this may well be just what you need to get them into some sort of logical order. IMCON V1.1 by Christoph Pfisterer - Converts pictures between many graphic formats including DOO PIC P 1 P 2 P 3 NEO PAC TN ART SPC SPU IM IMG IFF PCX GIF TIFALC. You can enlarge or reduce the size of pictures enlarge the screen area but retain the image size convert between True Colour Greyscale and palette based formats invert the picture switch on or off dithering and so on. Images can be resaved in IMG TIFF IFF or raw screendump formats. What makes IMCON score over more fully featured packages like GEM-View is its ability to load the picture into memory rather than display it on screen thus avoiding the problems of colour reduction in lower resolutions. Having said that you can display the image on screen if you want. IMCON runs on any Atari and is compatible with most graphic cards. POV-MOV V2.86 by Georges Gomes - A GEM based shell for use with POV Raytrace. What makes this shell different is that it can be set to render several scripts one after the other and it can also generate animations from POV scripts. You enter the parameters for the animation and the program generates the appropriate scripts for the in-between frames. Lots of options some only available when you register to make life easier for anyone who uses POV Raytrace. Unfortunately both program and docs are in French. VIRTUAL SCREEN X IMG VIEWER V1.3 - Eero Tamminen - Allows you to view any IMG or XIMG picture quickly and easily. It can even be installed as an application for viewing IMGs. Colour IMGs with more colours than the current screen resolution supports will be displayed as monochrome. XIMGSNAP - A program by the same author which lets you save any section of the Desktop to disk. Can be run as a PRG or ACC. SPOOKY SPRITES V5 by Johan Karlsson - A True Colour sprite designer. You can create your own sprites or grab them from True Colour Targa pictures. The format used to store the sprites is currently supported for assembler programmers in the Devpac Falcon Library by the same author on FALC.4784. STOS support will be incorporated into a future version of Anthony Jacques Falcon extensions on FALC.5307. According to the author the code should also be quite easy to incorporate into GFA Basic and other programming languages. Needs 4 Mb. GVMOD030 by Stephane Boisson - Five new modules for GEM-View which can only be used on the Falcon. Autocrop removes unnecessary black border around a True Colour picture FS Dither 15-bits dithers a 24-bit True Colour picture to make it look better on the Falcon s 15-bit 32 768 colour display FS Dither 16-bits dithers a 24-bit True Colour picture to make it look better on the Falcon s 16-bit 65 536 colour display. The last two modules are for loading and saving images in 16-bit True Colour format. The complete solution and a set of maps for BLOODWYCH. Conv2IMG - This program converts Neo, Tny and Spectrum pictures to IMG format for use in DTP. It will also save converted images as PI3 files. Needs 1 Meg on the STE. Well documented. DCOPY V3.4 - A file ARCing, DeARCing and copying program. Doubler - Takes a single sided disk and formats the other side without losing any data. Hramdsk2 - A stand alone version of the Hybriswitch reset-proof Ram Disk. James v1.2 - An improved Control Panel. You can adjust keyboard parameters, ship your hard disk, write-protect any drive, detect & destroy a virus and a lot more, all in one accessory. Mouse Tricks Demo - A desk accessory mouse utility that gives the user extensive control over mouse movement, menu style & uses the right mouse button to provide a range of special effects. A fuller version is available direct from the author. Q_Text - A shareware program that optimizes the built-in Text Blit routines. Once it is installed, screen re- draw speed will be improved. Skippref - ACC and PRG versions on disk. Both programs are designed to initialize an Epson compatible printer to skip six lines at the paper perforations. Sleepnn - A 'delay' utility for use in an auto folder. It will tell your hard drive to start up after a given time. Uncle Lib - A disk cataloguing utility. Unclelib will read all directories from either your floppy or hard drive and allows you to save the information to disk in ASCII format. Fully documented. Extrakey - A desk accessory that allows you to create a string of characters using all the available Atari character set and insert the string into your GEM based Word Processing document as through it had been typed from the keyboard. CMail - A sophisticated mailing program. Though it's primary function is to store and retrieve addresses it can also be used for any purpose that requires the handling of large amounts of personal information. Sys Mon v.091 - Intercepts calls done through the CPU's trap vectors and displays meaningful information about which parameters are being passed and which values are returned to the caller. Useful - A desk accessory for setting up time & date, screen dumps etc. Versions - Reports back the TOS version your ST is fitted with. Uniplay 2 - Plays all digitized sounds created with Sound Off, ST Replay & Digi Sound. ST Lister - Extracts a list of ST specific Bulletin Board from Horst Mann BBS lists. TCB TRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are DRAGNET, DUNCAN1, D_DREAD2, GLUET, INTRO, VIS, WASTE. CONVECTOR 2 - An excellent program for auto-tracing bitmapped graphics in order to convert them to vector graphics. A great amount of user control is offered over the conversion process and you can even edit the converted images. A number of IMG files are supplied so that you can see Convector's auto tracing at its best. As well as being a stand alone program, Convector can hook directly into Arabesque and can be used as a Megapaint module. This demo is fully functional with the exception that you cannot save your vector images. The only problem is that it's in German. SUPER MAPPER - The opening screen gives instructions in Bengali, Urdu and English and the aim of the game is guide the little man around the screen to various localities such as a restaurant, bus station, bank etc; via a mouse controlled scroll, horizontally or vertically. There are three levels of difficulty and a question at the end of each level. The concept is good but the scrolling is very slow and the game can become tiresome if one is heading in the wrong direction and has to backtrack. Ideal for young children familiarising themselves with the computer and the mouse. STETRIS by Paranoia - Yet another Tetris clone for one or two players. It displays two playing fields side by side regardless of whether you are playing a one or two player game. In one player mode gameplay is as per the original where you must make up complete lines from the falling blocks in order to clear the lines. In two player mode although you are playing simultaneously on different boards you can throw various booby-traps at your opponent without him knowing what you will attack him with next. He can of course do likewise and there s the possibility of reversing these so they bounce back on the player who sent them In either mode you can change the MOD used as a soundtrack and customise numerous settings to suit. Control is by keyboard or joystick. Somewhat drab in single player mode but fascinating in two player mode LINE UP V1.0.0 by Mario Becroft - The ultimate sliding puzzle game It is similar to those hand-held sliding puzzles where one square is left blank to allow the others to be moved around. In this case it is more difficult as there isn t an empty square. The author describes the principle as that of a two dimensional Rubiks cube You may select between two modes of play. In the first you must arrange coloured blocks or symbols in such a manner as to get like with like on the same row. The alternative game mode allows a picture any 256x256 pixel IMG can be used to be loaded. These are then jumbled in a random fashion and the blocks must be rearranged in order to reconstruct the original image. In both game types you can select the grid size multiple Undos and Redos are supported and there s even an automatic solve mode Various levels of difficulty are included and you can save your customised settings. Multi-tasking friendly. HONGTRON by The Resevoir Gods - A True Colour game in 128 bytes in fact the doc is longer than the game It s a traditional light cycles/tron type game where you control a fast moving line and must constantly change direction avoiding running into yourself. A great one for the reflexes. NOVA MINES by Huber Gerhard - Another Minesweeper clone where you must uncover all squares on a grid without getting blown up you do this by flagging known mined squares using a process of elimination. Nova Mines runs in a GEM window and is therefore multi-tasking friendly. You can play on grids of 10 10 16 16 30 16 squares with 10 40 or 99 mines hidden dependent on the size of the grid. There s a timer so you can always try to beat your last time. REEKING RUBBER V0.71 by Nature - A much later now renamed version of the car racing game on FALC.6149. This version features texture mapped road and scrolling background sound effects and several cars on the track besides your own. Only one of the scenarios desert is implemented and the car still has no brakes. Looks like it could be the best racing car game yet if it ever gets finished. At least this version does have a limited amount of playability. Needs 4Mb and a hard drive. CITADEL v3.0 - A complete bulletin board system. This like Starnet, is a very powerful system. However, it needs to be set up by the user. Menus will have to be set up as ASCII files where appropriate. Clip Art in IMG format .

ZX81 Support Disk . Sixty nine ZX81 programs which have been ported across to the ST and will run under the ZX81 emulator on LAN.27. Single sided. BATTLETRIS by New Core - Yet another variation of the Tetris theme. In this version there is the option to link two computers together for a head to head contest. Apart from that, it follows the normal rules of Tetris. STARBURST by Chris Skellern - In this Shareware game you must pilot your starship between various planets, destroying defence systems as you go. Control is mainly by use of the joystick but the keyboard controls your direction of fire. After destroying six power bases, you must locate the super brain hidden deep in a cavern and destroy it. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are FRITLEFT, FRITZ, FRITZBD, FRITZQU1, FRITZQU2, FRITZQU3, FRITZQUA, FRIZQ, FRIZQB, FRIZQUA1, FRIZQUAD, FRIZQUAT, FTRPST.

DRUG GLOSSARY by W G Jones - A Supercard 3 (UTL.4145) format database containing brief details of over 2200 generic and brand-named drugs, together with a range of vitamins, minerals and other preparations often used as drugs. This is the same datafile as that on UTL.5227, except that this one has been converted for use with Supercard v3 (rather than v1). ADDRESS by Dean Sharples - A simple no-frills name, address and telephone number database. You can search for specific records, flick through all records or print any record to Epson compatible printers. STOS source code included. NOTES v2 by Dominique Baraziat - A handy utility which lets you create notes which can be pasted onto the Desktop as reminders. Performs an identical function to the Memo Pad in Ease and Stickies on the Macintosh. If (Speedo)GDOS is loaded you can use any installed font for your notes. All in French but use is obvious. Must be run under Multi-TOS, MagiC or Geneva. POOR MAN'S FILE SERVER (PMFS) v1.03 by Paul L Moreau - A Unix to Atari file server. Sounds odd but what it does is allow you to connect a Unix workstation to your Atari via the RS232 port and access the Unix's hard drive as if it were attached directly to your computer. Files can be copied in either direction. You get an executable for the Atari and a C source file (which must be compiled) for the Unix. We advise the use of HSModem on COM.4407 in order to ensure reliable data transfer at higher baud rates. START ME UP SETUP V1.0 by Heiko Schafer - An invaluable companion to Thomas Much's Start Me Up on UTL.5760. It allows you to drag and drop pathnames into the Start button to automatically add them to SMU's configuration file. Guaranteed to save hours of manually typing your system details into SMU. Unfortunately it's in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. ST CHEAT MACHINE v3.00 by Martin Pugh - An impressive compilation of cheats for over 100 ST games. It patches the original game (in memory) in order to achieve its goal, leaving the original disk untouched. These are not 'just' infinite life patches, many offer much more interesting ways of progressing further into the game. It also recognises files packed with any of over 40 packer programs and patches these games too! DADU_HFH - Scans a disk for hidden files. DDS_CHNG - A source beautifier i.e. adds tabs and spaces to tidy up assembler source files. FILETOOL - A replacement file selector and utility accessory. Copy, move, print, show details etc; of a selected file. Uses cunning 'double' file selector. OKAMI SHELL 1.5 - A Un*x like CLI. Very comprehensive, 100 built in commands plus an on-line help (in German, unfortunately). The manual is now in English. TEXTSORT - Sorts a plain text file into alphabetic order and capitalises the first word. Devised for Calamus indexes, but could be handy in any document. VTOOL - A simple virus detection and killing accessory TCB TRACKER MODULES disk 1 by Nick Martin . Files are BIRD, CICERO, DREAM, EASYMOVE, SHIMSHAM, SLOWHAND. You need TCB Tracker to use this disk. PAPA WAS A BLADE RUNNER by EKO - This is a massive demo which needs just about every byte of free memory on a 4 Meg machine. It was done for the Intermedia Convention of 1993 and is well worth seeing. It starts off with a 3D texture mapped cube rotating and scaling in real time. This then multiplies into several cubes which form various 3D objects. The next part consists of several different solid 3D objects rotating and scaling but with a difference. One object passes through another and emerges at the other side. The final part of the demo consists of superb True Colour fractals which are zoomed almost into infinity. A soundtrack plays throughout the demo. RGB Monitor or TV only. CROSSTWORD by Norman Weinress - A crossword puzzle creator and solver. You can design your own crosswords or play the two sample files supplied. Partially completed puzzles may be saved for completion at a later date and there's a 'trial fit' option so that you can attempt to fit a word into the puzzle without actually placing it (useful when designing puzzles). There's also the ability to reveal the entire crossword at any time or just the areas you've completed. A must for crossword addicts! N_ANOVA V2.5 by Noud van Kruysbergen - Performs an ANalysis Of VAriance (hence its name) on your data. Usually you have two or more sets of data between which you hope there is a variance. N_ANOVA will show the significance of this difference. The program is capable of calculating 3 way ANOVAs.

GEMTrade is its successor all dressed up in a nice GEM based shell with windowed dialogs drag drop BubbleGEM OLGA and AV protocol support and an editable dictionary. In fact it even uses the original Ruftrade dictionaries although the translation routines have been changed. Although its primary aim is to perform automatic translation of documents from German to English you can also translate individual words between the two languages in both directions . The results of these can be copied to the GEM clipboard. GEMTrade can also be used as a module within CAB v2.5 or later. In such cases any German language pages on the Web will be automatically translated and displayed in English There are limitations in this Shareware release register to remove them. MAGICP by Tommy Andersen - Patches the MagiC kernel file to fix problems which exist when running MagiC on a TT with TOS 3.01/3.06. If your TT has TOS v3.06 you don t need this patch.

HIDEAWAY V1.1.4 by Bruno Essman - Allows you to hide all open windows belonging to a selected application when running Multi-TOS. This is useful if you have multiple windows open for several applications as the windows can tend to clutter up the screen and it can get confusing as to which application the window belongs. This ACC simply allows you to hide and unhide all windows belonging to a chosen application. ST+ ISSUE 10, OCTOBER 1996 - This issue kicks off with a look at the new Atari mag, Atari Computing, then moves on to part 7 of the Assembler tutorial and part 8 of STOS For Beginners.

SCATTER V1.02a by Carl Hafner - Encrypts and decrypts files for security purposes. However, what makes this program different is that it will further encrypt a file if you enter an incorrect password when trying to decrypt it! This makes it almost impossible to decrypt a file which has been tampered with. For this reason, you must always keep backups of files encrypted using this program. SNAPSHOT - A collection of Auto folder programs and ACCs which allow you to grab screenshots from within other programs and save them to disk. Some are more reliable than others and different snapshotters are more suited to grabbing screens from different types of programs.

These allow the user to roam around the fort and walls of Hadrian's Wall at Housesteads. HANGMAN is another program on this disk with 463 song titles in memory - ALL presumably related to Roman Britain! DISK 3 was written using the TCOS program of interactive graphics and descriptive material. It is intended for student use and quickly reaches conclusions related to a murder at Housesteads during the Roman occupation of the fort. Disks 2 and 3 are color only. Overall, the 3 disk set comprises an interesting collection of data which may be used freely in student projects. Compilations 4 by The Black Cats . A collection of 20 intros by hacking crews. Kent Recursive Calculator - A porting to the ST of KRC Real Time Language from Unix.

You even see the clouds above the landscape. MAD - A wierd looking brightly coloured 3D texture mapped sphere rotates in real time. QUAD3DVGA only runs on a VGA monitor CRIME only runs on an RGB monitor or TV. The others will work on any monitor or TV. ADA TUTORIAL - This is a tutorial package designed to help teach you how to program in the ADA language. ADA is a lesser known programming language but is in use by the US Defense Department for mission-critical systems. ADA code is supposedly prone to fewer errors, easier to read and easier to modify, when compaing it to other programming languages. This disk contains and interactive ADA tutorial course complete with 'homework' assignments. An ADA compiler is not required in order to make use of the tutorial. ASM520 v2.02 - A complete assembler package which runs on 0.5 Meg. It comes with integrated editor and online help facility and there's a comprehensive manual on disk.

No danger of overwriting all your patches as you can audition them on your synth first. RIFF-O-RAMA by Stephen Munslow - A sequencer for writing RIFFs of up to 16 notes. Although simple, it may provide inspiration and there is quite a bit of control over such things as note, velocity, length values, shuffle notes, play backwards, etc. Can be recorded on an external sequencer but unfortunately doesn't save as a standard MIDI file. ST-MIDI-EX by Harry Wootan - Use for receiving and transmitting SYSEX data, although data dumps must be sent by synth. Good help file from within the program. MIDIAN v1.01 by Alexander Weis - A program for managing, displaying and analysing Midi data of all kinds. It is also a bank loader, sample loader, MIDI monitor, data converter and more.

A wire frame cube appears, with a moving sine curve inside it. There are also a few pictures of dragons, monsters and the countryside, all of which use more than sixteen colours. You will have to wait for the screens to step through at their own rate in this one. Keep pressing the SPACEBAR to advance and you will see a frog explode and the Sector One logo appear! PEGASUS by Wizard Wim - Displays a colourful picture of the fabled flying horse. Experiment by pressing various keys to change the tune etc. THE DYNAMITE SOUNDE DEMO by Unit Seventeen - An impressive demo of originally composed stereo sound and colourful graphics.

THE ULTIMATE DIY UPGRADE KIT #1 - If you're handy with a soldering iron, this disk is for you. It allows you perform upgrades which are also available commercially, as well as a handful which have been around for years but never gained the recognition they deserve. Please note you undertake these projects at your own risk and we accept no responsibility for any damage, regardless of how it is caused. 16MHZ ST - The 68000 CPU in most STs is perfectly capable of running at 16Mhz. A circuit diagram shows how to achieve this simple modification. Pity the text is in Dutch! CHIPSZS2 - Three labelled photographs (in IMG format) of the hard drive controller in a Mega ST, the ST to SCSI host adaptor in a Megafile 44 and the Vortex host adaptor. RS-232-2 - Full instructions and diagrams on how to add a second serial port to your ST. SONY-144 - A detailed text file and diagram (in IMG format) showing how to adapt a Sony MPF 520 drive to work with an ST. Like so many HD drives intended for use on PCs, some basic modifications are necessary. This document applies equally well to many other types of drive. Please note the drive will function as a 720K drive, not a 1.44Mb. TOS104UP -Instructions on how to fit a TOS 1.4 upgrade to an STFM. It includes software to grab the TOS 1.4 ROM image (yes you need to have access to a TOS 1.4 machine) and split it into odd and even bytes for blowing into EPROMS. The instructions are excellent but the drawbacks are that you need access to a TOS 1.4 machine and an EPROM blower. 144_CTRL -Explains how to build the necessary electronics needed to use a HD drive (as a 1.44Mb device rather than as a 720K device) on an ST. Provided you have the required disk drive controller chip, the costs are minimal and you can fit HD drives both internally and externally. 68901 - Explains a little about how the multi- functional peripheral chip works, along with a few suggestions on how it could be utilised in other ways. AUDIO - Did you know that every ST has a standard audio output signal? Taking it out of the ST in such a manner as to channel sound directly to external speakers or hi-fi equipment is easier than you would think! FPU6881 -Instructions on how to fit a 68881 co- processor to an ST. Be warned, this document is more technical than most. IBMDRIVE - Gives a wiring diagram and brief instruction on how to transfer data from PC 5.25" drives to ST disks. You need to have a PC with a floppy disk controller which supports 4 devices in order to use this method. MONITOR - Explains how to wire up a cable connecting your ST to a scart plug for use with TVs and monitors which have a scart input. MONSWITCH - A detailed document explaining how to wire a switchbox, which lets you switch between mono and colour resolutions when using a multi-sync monitor. It has been tested on a NEC MultiSync 3D and Commodore 1960 but might work with other makes/models. NECII - Another document explaining how to build a cable/switchbox for using an NEC monitor to an ST. This time it's for the NEC MultiSync II and gives the necessary pin connections for both the ST and Mega ST. SM124 - A circuit diagram (in IMG format) for the Atari SM124 monochrome monitor. Could come in handy if your monitor blows up like mine did a few years ago! SONY - Well documented explanation of how to connect an ST to a Sony XBR monitor. Apparently Sony monitors use different voltage levels from other RGB monitors and this gives details on how to harmonise the levels between the ST and monitor. TOS206UP - A well written document explaining how to build a decoder board for taking TOS 2.06 chips (it's not a plug-in job like TOS 1.4) and everything you need to know about how it works. Unlike other upgrades, this one does not feature switchable TOS versions or need software to kick in TOS 2.06, it runs from boot up. Obviously you'll have to buy the TOS 2.06 upgrade chips, this just explains how to fit them. A COLLECTION OF ARCADE TYPE GAMES FROM THE ST. NIRVANA - Another addictive game. This time it s a platform and ladders type game with some very good graphics. A wide variety of levels are included and on each you must collect a number of objects within the time limit at the same time avoiding the monsters who will take your life NOSTRAM - A Shareware game from Powerfist. This is a platform and ladders type game where your quest is to recover five crystals hidden somewhere within a giant monolith. You can gain money power ups and keys to aid your task but a variety of creatures are out to stop you. Great graphics highly recommended. RUMBO by Facade Software - Guide your cute little character who resembles a mutant hero something through the maze shooting baddies as you go. Can you help Rumbo to rescue his kidnapped girl Includes some platform elements some jumping and shooting and very good graphics. The sound effects aren t bad either. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are RABBIT_L, RAC, RACE_HOS, RACOON, RAILRDS, RAM, RAPHAEL, READERS, REAGAN, RECIPE, RECORD, REGAN1, REGAN2, REGAN3, RESTRANT, RESTS, RETIRED, REVERE, RIBBON, RIGHTCUF, RIGHTDAR, RIGHTLIN, RIGHTSTO, RIGHTUP, RIO, RIPART, ROBOCOP, ROBOT, ROBOT2, ROCKET, ROCKNROL, ROKCHAIR, ROLLS, ROMANCE, ROMANT, RORYGLGR, ROSETTE, ROUNDOWN, ROWR, ROYALS, RULERS. ALT HELP by Dave Jones - Once installed you can display free memory, toggle disk verify, toggle hertz rate in colour or cold boot your ST by simply press ALT+HELP and a combination of the SHIFT keys. ANDYLOAD 3.7 - Packs several files into one chunk and then writes that chunk sector by sector to disk. As far as I can make out, it lets you pack your own programs and create bootable disks with them. AUTOFILE - Allows you to create user friendly self extracting archives. No docs and a TTP file so the program itself isn't user friendly! COPY MULTI V1.0 - A multi-tasking disk copying program. It copies disks as you get on with something else. It does not require Multi-TOS and runs on any ST. CROSSOVER - Converts Aladin 3.0 disks to Spectre 128 format and vice versa. LZH SEA V2.1 - Allows you to create your own self extracting files from LZH or compatible archives. FCOPY 3 - A translated version of this popular copier with the Help file in English! FILEMOVE - Allows you to move files rather than have to copy and then delete them. You only need this program if you have TOS 1.0 or 1.2. Later versions have it built into ROM. FINDER V2.0 - Searches all files in a specified folder or drive for up to three specified text strings within the files. HPDUMP - Put one of these programs in your Auto folder and reboot. Now press ALT+HELP to do a screendump to any HP Deskjet, Laserjet or compatible printer. There's one program for medium res and two for high (giving different results). MACREAD - Reads data from a Mac formatted hard drive or Spectre formatted floppy (HFS format) and writes the contents to an ST floppy or hard drive. MONITOR MAGIC by Dave Becker - Allows you to set the screen on a colour TV or monitor to green or amber for improved clarity. MDISK V4.3 - A ramdisk with a difference. You can do a disk copy (as opposed to a file copy) to the ramdisk and then from the ramdisk to another floppy (even one which has a different format). This is much faster than file copying if there are lots of files on your disk. MUTATE - Nothing to do with Hero Turtles! It's a sector editor which works on floppies, hard disks, files and memory. It even copes with hard disk sectors larger than 512 bytes. C source included. DUNE KILLER V1.2 - Installs an executable bootsector which can killa virus in memory, toggle 50/60hz, let you include a short message and copy itself to another disk. Colour only. RENAME IT - Allows you to rename files and folder using both uper case and lower case letters. THE SUPREME SCREEN SNATCHER V1.2 - Allows you to interrupt a program, grab a screen and save it in Degas format. You can also search through memory for other graphics. UNDELETE by Trevor Blight - An excellent utility which takes a new approach to recovering deleted files. It reconstructs the file in memory and saves it to another disk, preventing possible messups on the original disk. PAGESTREAM TEMPLATES by EYM Cheng - These templates allow you to reproduce industry standard crop marks for typesetting and/or colour work using Pagestream 2.2. This gets round the bug in the program and/or Postscript printer driver. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3. Fonts are FRANKHE, FRANKHO, FRANKLI1, FRANKLI2, FRANKLI3, FRANKLIN, FRANKTMI, FRANKTM_, FUT_2_LF, FUT_B_LT, FUT_C_EX, FUT_P_LF. CROWN OF CREATION PRE-PREVIEW by Rebelsoft - A very early version all 7 Mb of it of what could turn out to be a good game. It starts off with an impressive intro sequence and soundtrack including some text on what it s all about. You then proceed to a presentation of the ship s support systems and weaponry. Beautifully raytraced pictures rotate and scale in real time and you get all the technical data on each item as it appears. Finally you take your seat in the cockpit and blast into Outer Space. There little in the way of gameplay in this version and all you can do is increase/decrease speed move left/right and fire. The firing doesn t actually destroy anything but the explosions are impressive. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Sound plays through headphones or external speakers so you ll get silence if you don t have either connected ST NEWS VOL 11 ISSUES 1 2 - The biggest the best and also the last The culture that was ST News is over or at least it will be when you ve read this issue. Yes it really is the very last issue of ST News some ten years after it started. This disk contains a compilation issue of what should have been two separate issues. As you would expect it contains more than a smattering of nostalgia with tributes from all the leading figures on the Atari scene including ourselves . The reference section helps you locate what you need from back issues of ST News. It includes the Ultimate ST News Reference Guide 259 entries Cheat Encyclopedia 400 entries Disk Magazine Roundup 158 entries Adventure Solutions Index over 100 entries and Metallica Discography 1064 entries .

Something for everyone a collector s item Just one catch it needs 4 Mb of memory. TALK TALK by Excellence In Art - This demo is massive with the graphics amounting to 5.4 Meg and 470K of sound data and was released at the Motorola Inside '93 demo party. It features an original stereo soundtrack and original graphics, something which is hard to find nowadays. What's more, both sound and graphics are excellent! Makes uses of the STE's stereo sound and hardware scrolling capabilities. Needs at least 2 Meg (perhaps the only STE demo which does!). May be installed on a hard drive. STE ONLY. CRACK ART v1.36 - This is the most comprehensive art package available and it's Shareware! You can load and save all the popular file formats including Degas, Neo, Spectrum 512, Art Director and so on. Many of the features in this package have never before been seen on an ST. There is also the option to grab graphics from within program and data files as well as from protected disks! The full manual on disk (over 130K) has been translated into English by Tony Dicken for Floppyshop. Due to lack of Shareware registrations, the authors have put a number of restrictions into this version, the most noticeable of which is that you cannot save your work. When you register they'll give you the codes to unlock the full power of this program. Crack Art needs 1 Meg. PILE UP by Russell Moll - A Tetris type game. You must guide blocks down the screen, trying to fit them together as closely as possible. A variety of options within the game add to it's deviousness. Some surprises await those completing certain levels. STOS source included. MERCY by Simon Brown - A text only adventure game from the author of Darkness Is Forever. Your mission is to rescue the five princes and princesses of Kayn from the evil Kargz, who has imprisoned them in the Place of Heaven. PATIENCE - A compendium of six single player card games, all mouse controlled and with help options and cheat modes. Talespin from Microdeal - Two demos by Evelyn Mills showing the versitility of Talespin. ZUFFERS by Terence Pearson - This is a three level demo of a much larger Shareware game for the STE. The Zuffers are tiny round creatures who have been dislodged from their shelters after a meteor crashed into their planet. Your task is to move them back into their shelters before they are killed by radiation. However, the Zuffers will only fit into a shelter of the correct shape. Control of the game is by joystick. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. Play It and 7 samples . Files are ATTACK, CHEER, CAPTAINS, CLINT, CLUNK, COW and CHORD. JAPANESE COMIC ART 1 - A collection of high quality GIF pictures from some of those Japanese comics with the cult following. Files are ANGEL-EG CITY-HUN MADO1 MADOKA MADOKA1 MADOKA2 MADOKA5 MADOKA6 MADOKA7 MADOKAPH MADOKA_T MAISON ORANGE-1. A viewer program is supplied. HP SOURCE Issue 1 - This magazine is in fact a totally revamped version of the STOS Bits magazine. It is now aimed at STOS and other programming languages such as GFA and assembly, though in this issue, STOS tips are largely more popular than any other. These include full STOS source code to use BIG sprites, have star fields, run proper chip music, write doc displayers and much more! There's reviews of Dizzy Lizzy 2, Dennis and Denise, Monster Business by The Lost Boys and lots of PD demos. Learn exactly how to become a programmer and write a commercial game (I wouldn't take the advice too seriously!) and also read a round up of the 4th annual 16-Bit Show. The jargon generator is strangely amusing. Beware, contains some bad language. Aenegmatica Demo No 1 - Released at the 1989 Atari Dusseldorf Fair. Press F1 to F3 for amazing sub-demos. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts of some of William Shakespeare's histories. This disk contains Macbeth, Henry IV parts 1 & 2, Henry V and Henry VI part 1. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. NoBI RACING - A second Alfred the snake game for one or two players. This one is very similar to its predecessor but with lots more sound effects, more puzzles and lots of bonus levels. Also, Alfred moves continuously in this game (unless there are two possible ways to go). Again it's a demo with a limited number of levels and the full version (100 levels) is obtainable from the authors. Needs 1 Meg. Colour or mono! UNIX - This disk contains various programs which are UNIX compatible. BTOA and ATOB V4.00 by Paul Rutter - BTOA encodes a file to printable ASCII and also attaches a header and checksum information. This is used by the reverse ATOB to find the start of the file and to check integrity. ATOB reads encoded files and re-creates a copy of the original. BTOB/ATOB does in fact carry out the same task as UUENCODE to convert binary files to ASCII for use on systems such as Internet where the transmission of binary files is not ordinarily supported. BTOA/ATOB claims to much more efficient. C Source code included. TAR V1.11.1. by Hildo Biersma - Port of GNU TAR for the ST which only runs under the MINT or MINIX file systems. Designed to run from a command line interpreter such as GULAM although it can be run from the Desktop. This program translates GEMDOS files to/from UNIX format. SHAR by Rainer Klute - Puts files together into a shell archive which can then be extracted by the UNIX program BASH (Bourne Again SHell). This version can archive whole file systems and was created by the author for use with ARCGSH V4.1, the multi-compressor shell on UTL.428. It is based on UNIX SHAR by Gary Pearlman. UUE - An implementation of the UUENCODE/UUDECODE protocol for converting binary files into ASCII for transmission across systems such as Internet. This is a non-GEM implementation (a GEM based equivalent can be found on UTL.3762). WW_TAR V8.1 by Wolfgang Wander - A UNIX TAR implenemtation of a tape streamer backup system. This program includes very comprehensive configuration with switch options. Unfortunately the docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation. An example default TAR file is included. LAZY3 by Oliver Michalak - A comprehensive graphically based archiving shell. It supports all common archivers although you will need copies of the individual archiver programs. Almost everything can be accessed from either the icons or the drop down menus. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German, but we've put a RUF translation on disk. Lazy3 can easily be configured as a front end for the Unix based archivers on this disk. Needs 1 Meg. THIRD DIMENSION (issue 3) July 1994 - Another packed issue of the only multi-format diskmag (ST/PC/Amiga) aimed directly at 3D Construction Kit users. The disk has an array of folders full of source (fully documented), borders, OBJ files and samples. The mag itself has all the usual articles such as the excellent beginners guide, advice and help section and leters. This month you will find a list of useful phone numbers and addresses, a list of extensions used so far, and be given the opportunity to air your views on the mag in the Viewpoint section. This month's issue is a lot more organised than the previous ones and is a wealth of knowledge for all readers. A must for all 3D Kit users from the novice to the experienced programmer. PEEKS & POKES MUSIC DISK 6 - Another 8 MOD files from the Amiga, 7 of which have accompanying graphics. Two of the MODs were specially written for this demo. All files are selectable from a main menu this time. The main menu plays Rob Hubbard's theme to Crazy Comets. Good graphics and sound (stereo on the STE) as usual. ANDURIL - How many of you remember Kokotoni Wilf on the Spectrum? Here it is on the ST. Guide your man through the underground caverns. GILAGAD - A strange one here!

This is the best mono version of the age old classic The Legend Of The Overlanders . A compilation of 12 small but impressive demos and intros by the Overlanders. Also on disk is the complete text scroller from the Union Demo. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 10 - Another excellent edition of the diskmagazine aimed at 3D Construction Kit users. This issue brings with it the use of the Revenge Document Displayer, which makes the reading of the files a lot easier. Features include a list of highly recommended 3D Kit games, some FCL commands and several game ideas\inspirations. There's a look at the differences between kits 1 and 2, a HUGE updated Falcon games compatibility list and news of new games in the pipeline. Kit1 Data includes Station, Timegate, Tudor and more. KIT2 Data includes Big Wheel, 3WD, Snooker and others. ALL the favourites continue with more routines, pictures, borders, fonts, Kit News, Letters, Help, Info, The Famous Mandylogue and Talkback where you can air your views on a selected topic. Last but not least is a review of The Third Dimension 3 hour video, which helps you to get the most out of using your 3D kit. An excellent magazine, highly recommended! THE RETURN OF TARZAN by Edgar Rice Burroughs . The last in this collection of Tarzan novels. THE MARVELLOUS LAND OF OZ by L Frank Baum (this is the followup to THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ. Both texts are out of copyright and may be freely copied. Calamus Support Disk 4. CFNLIST v2 by Thomas Kerkloh - Takes selected font files and creates a CDK which lists the entire character set for the font(s). Only works with Calamus v1.09N. Rather difficult to work out since the docs are in German, but looks very useful. EPSXCVG by Eine Computing - Converts between EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) and CVG vector graphics formats. The EPS must be in Adobe Illustrator 88 format. Will also work with Adobe Illustrator 88 files - i.e. you need not export the graphic as EPS first. There are some limitations with this shareware version, but most graphics should convert. The only thing it can't handle at all is text strings embedded in the PostScript code. FONTLIST by Don Turnock - If your collection of Calamus fonts is growing out of control, and you're always losing some, this program will search your FONTS directory and create lists of everything you've got. FONTEDITOR HELPER by Sol Guber - Creates new font styles from existing Calamus font files. This demo version can generate Bold and Compressed variations. The full commercial version will also do Fatten, Slant, Rotate (either direction) and Shrink. Other functions are being added to a wish list. HP_1200C by Lee Mundie - Calamus SL driver for the HP Deskjet 1200C colour printer. Source code included. CALAMUS FONTS - Caligraph, Coffee, David, Fifties, Lucifer Bold Italic, Steel Nib, Stiletto. These are mostly demo fonts used in the CDK files supplied on disk. The documents supplied are in turn mainly used to display the fonts, although some use the standard fonts supplied with Calamus and others use PD/Shareware fonts. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are CASTLE CEBIT WEAPON BEATBOX2 IMPOSSA PUGGSY1 STRYX BLACKMOR ENDTHEME HITSQUAD HURICANE INGAME OLDWASTE PAZ WONDER. THE CADENZA COLLECTION - A collection of useful utilties, all complete with source code (HiSoft Basic) by Matthew Bacon. All titles are being distributed as Freeware, despite their high quality. AUTOCLOCK V2.61 - A nice friendly GEM based program which lets you set the time and date (reads system time at bootup). If running on a multi-tasking OS, it can also display a clock on screen and has an alarm facility which alerts you with the message of your choice. On TOS 1.4 or later you should set it up as an Auto Install application. CALC IT V4.00 - A handy ACC based calculator. It's rather basic in the functions (+, -, x, /, M+, MR) it offers but is perfectly adequate for most needs. LOCKOUT V1.10 - An ACC based password protection system. Type in any password when you leave your desk. A dialog will pop up requesting that the password be entered. Short of rebooting, nobody will be able to gain access to your machine in your absence. Enter the same password to 'unlock' your machine. PALETTE - Two small programs, the first stores your current Desktop palette settings and the second (run after a program which messes up the palette on exit) restores them. PASSWORD v1.10 - An Auto folder program which requires a password. Place it first in the Auto folder and you won't be able to continue the boot process (let alone reach the Desktop!) until the correct password has been entered. PRINT IT V1.00 - Useful program for printing ASCII text files. It supports the use of headers, footers, lines per page, page numbering, pages to be printed, number of copies, margin settings and more. It even lets you use the built- in fonts in your printer. An Epson printer driver is supplied as standard but YOU CAN edit the ESCape codes to suit your own printer using PRINT IT V2. PRINT IT V2.05 - Designed especially for those of you who own the more modern printers which don't have dipswitches! It allows you to create and test your own printer drivers which can then be used in conjuction with PRINT IT V1 to print out ASCII text files. PC Format - format disks for MS Dos use. PS - turns 1st Word doc files into postscript format. Ramload - autoload your choice of programs into a ramdisk on boot-up. Deskpac - this desk accessory contains many accessories in one, like a clock, calendar, phonebook, calculator etc. Medium or high res only. There is a 72K document file included. As good as Backpack.

Also on disk is an updated version of the Super Virus Killer. The Fantasy Show by The Intruder . Starts up as a demo with scrolling text, then exits to a Spectrum 512 slideshow. EEZI-PC by The Maggie Team - A one off special edition of Maggie dedicated to PC haters everywhere! Don't be put off, it's not a case of childish "my computer is better than yours" articles (OK there are some which follow this line). There's a combination of fact and fiction mixed throughout largely well written humorous stories (Microsoft buys Christmas and the Microsoft/Vatican merger for starters!). Article titles include Intel Trek, Heavenly Gates, Farm Animals '97, Atari Looputer, Nose Skier and a section called Plug 'N Pay! As you can see, this is primarily a fun magazine for those who enjoy a laugh at the majority's expense! This publication should be categorised under the "fiction" section in your local library, but then again most of Micro$oft's press releases and adverts should share the same shelf! Despite contrary appearances, Eezi-PC only runs on Atari computers (check the readme). LZA REPORT by ELF Software - Everything you'll ever need to know about the LZA compression method. It discusses the theory behind LHA, looks at ways to improve its efficiency and comparisons between LHA, LZH and ZIP in various tests. Aimed at programmers, these reports are highly technical but could be of interest if you're thinking of using compression within your own programs. MULTISYNC FAQ by Bill Price - An extensive document explaining all about the use of multi- sync monitors with an ST. It gives sound advice on what is and is not possible as well as advising on individual makes/models. There's even full instructions on how to build your own monitor switchbox.

A compilation of soundtracker MOD files by The Happening Boiz . Files are DELTA, JACK, MEGA, OKS, RALLY, RIPPED, SONG, THIEVES. DENTRO DEMO by The Hemeroids - A small demo which appears to have more to it than meets the eye. It just seems to be a vertical scrolltext on a starfield. If you watch to the end, the greetings display various national flags as vector graphics. It says you can control it with various keys, I just can't find them! DISKFLIP by Bill Rehbock - An excellent Cyber Studio animation with sound. Watch a disk spin through 360 degrees as it wings its way towards the disk drive. A short demo which is in a class of its own. FULLPARTS by The Hemeroids - Another small demo which starts with two pictures and then goes into a full screen display.

GNVA6FIX - The original upgrade patch from v005 to v006 not the one on this disk was bugged and caused the system to become unstable in certain circumstances. This patch fixes the problem. If you are already using the 006A upgrade on this disk you do not need this patch. ATARI ENVIRONMENT MANAGER V1.00 by Alexandre Very - A boot manager program for multi-tasking systems. It lets you specify which Auto folder programs ACCs and CPXs are to be loaded for the current session. If Xboot is currently installed in your system its configuration files are converted for use with AEM. One of the better boot managers. Works with Multi-TOS Geneva and MagiC. All docs in French. HYPERION by Keith Baines - A hypertext viewer for use on the Psion Series 3a and 3c. It gives Psion users a similar system to ST-Guide. This is only a viewer registered users get a program which lets you create your own hypertexts. It may seem odd to include a Psion program in an Atari catalogue but transfering files to and from the Psion is easier than ever with S3toST also by Keith. VFAT by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to copy files with long filenames from Windows 95 hard drive partitions to Minix partitions. Its primary use would be to transfer files from a removable media cartridge to your Minix partition. You would of course need to have BIGDOS or HD Driver 7 installed in your system in order to read the PC formatted cartridge in the first place. VFAT_UTI by Petr Stehlik - Displays a directory listing of the contents of a Windows 95 floppy disk or hard drive cartridge showing the long filenames correctly. LINE OF FOUR by Philip Bishop - A Connect 4 game written in STOS Basic. The best version of this game seen yet. A tough one to beat. PERILS OF PENFOLD also by Philip Bishop is what could loosely be described as an arcade adventure. Guide Penfold through a maze of underground caverns armed only with his pistol. There is a cheat mode, can you find it? GOLDRUSH by Mark Annetts - This is an adaption of 'Loderunner' from the 8-bit micros. ZERPHOD by Ian Grainger - A maze type game from the writer of Ballzone. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are BEAMS, BLOOD, CHINA, MYSTIK, PRIME90, PRISON, SECT4. S-FALC.6168 RUNNING by STAX - The finished release version of this long-awaited DOOM clone the preview of which was on FALC.5687 . This is more than just a DOOM engine it features original graphics animation and sound and there s more to it than just shooting at everything that moves In addition to surviving and shooting everything that moves you must also complete a number of set tasks to finish each level. The playing area is huge and the action is fast. You can set screen size detail level and so forth. Large screen and high detail work well on a standard Falcon. There are nine different characters some of whom are civilians and your character communicates with base using a laptop. He also talks to you This Shareware release features one complete level and is not restricted in any way. Register for the full multi-level version. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Example programs written in Forth. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are AUSTEX COMPLICA GLACTICA PHANTASM SCOOPEX SEE SHECOMIN STORM WOTROCK FIREPOWR GODS ROW_M_MONS SERENADE SHORT SO STEAM. CHICFONT - Replaces the Desktop font with a Mac font. It should run from Auto but regrettably only works from the Desktop on a Falcon BLINEX V1.6 - Removes unnecessary blank lines from ASCII files therefore saving paper. It also converts Unix ASCII and Mac ASCII files to DOS format so that they can be read on an Atari. It also handles the conversion between ASCII characters which fall in different positions on the different systems. Now contained in an easy to use GEM based shell. PCORRECT by Adam Millard-Ball - Accepts an ASCII file and attempts to correct it to be politically correct i.e. inoffensive to anyone More of a laugh than anything else. TRASHCAN - A recoverable Trashcan which allows you to undelete files by copying them out of the Trash directory. You need to empty the Trashcan in order to permanently delete files. SPRINT v1.2 by Kelvin Unsworth - A handy printer spooler which speeds up output to most printers in much the same manner as FPPRINT except that it operates as a sooler too. Most spoolers send just one byte per interrupt which generally slows down output as the printer can usually run much faster Sprint can send up to 1000 bytes per interrupt thus speeding up output dramatically. Almost everything in Sprint can be configured to suit your own system setup. BIRDS WINGS V1.12 - A virtual screen emulator for the Falcon. It allows you to create your own screen resolutions of whatever dimensions and number of colours you want. The only limitation is memory as the bigger the screen the more memory it consumes. The more colours you use the more memory that consumes too. Your screen scrolls up down left or right as the mouse reaches the edges of the physical screen. Scrolling is VERY smooth and the use of Birds Wings does NOT slow down your Falcon noticeably. Unfortunately the program and docs are in French but everything is easily worked out. EDOS_121 - Patches all versions of the CD-ROM driver software ExtenDOS up to 1.20 to v1.21. Obviously you will require an original copy of ExtenDOS in order to use this patch. This patch removes some bugs from v1.20 and adds Photo CD support. FILY 4 - A replacement text file viewer with pop-up menus which runs under Multi-TOS. As well as letting you move backwards and forwards Fily 4 allows blocks of text to be sent to the clipboard saved to disk or printed out. SYNERGY DEPACKER V2.2 - Depacks executables and data files packed with over thirty of the leading packer programs. Quite a number of user options and now fully Falcon and Multi-TOS compatible. PACSHELL V3.01 - A GEM based shell which handles archives created with most popular archivers. You can compress or decompress files using Uuendcode Compress Zoo Zip LHarc or Tar and decompress files created with Arc and Arj. Other useful utilities such as ZIP2TOS AFX and SFX can be used to create self-extracting archives. You will need a copy of all the relevant archiver programs and must specify their locations under the configuration menu entry. Even without the external archivers you can still view the directory structure of any supported archive type. ROMSPEED V3.1 - Copies ROM to RAM in order to speed up system calls. It also allows you to apply patches to TOS which cannot obviously be applied when running TOS from ROM. It serves the same purpose as GEMRAM on FALC.4340 and patches which work with GEMRAM should also work with ROMSPEED. SET MEMTEST V1.05 - Allows you to switch the memory test on or ofFALC. You can have the normal memory test and wait memory test only or no delay at all. As this information is stored in non-volatile RAM your setting will be more or less permanent. STE2FALC V1.1 - Yet another STE emulator which claims to make some STE software run on the Falcon. This one also allows you to emulate a Mega STE. STOOP V1.05 by Phil Hodgkins - A Shareware boot manager which allows you to decide which resolution to boot up in which ACC PRG and CPX programs to load up at boot time and so on. It is particularly useful in that it allows groups to be specified and these can be selected with a click of the mouse. The 3D interface is very smart and there s lots of user options. Undoubtedly the very best boot manager for the Falcon. Some options are disabled in this Shareware version. STOSFIX V3 by Robert Quezada - Patches STOS programs to run on the Falcon. Unfortunately it only patches for the TOS version in your machine rather than being a patcher for all TOS versions. So far this is the most successful program of its type. This version requires a maths coprocessor. STDCAT V5.3B - Probably the best disk cataloguing program around. It reads the directories of your disks and stores the details in a file. You can add your own comments to files or disks and browse through the directories manually or get the program to search for a particular program. The easy way to keep track of your files on both floppies and hard drives. SYSINFO by Christophe Boyanique - Performs an extensive system check and saves out an extensive listing of your system set up system variables contents of the cookie jar and just about everything else you can think oFALC. He has also included a listing of the commonly used cookies on all Ataris their IDs and their meanings. TURBO VEILLE v1.12 - A terminal protector screen blanker and screen accelerator. Yes it actually claims to be able to speed up screen redraws. It s not as good as NVDI but it is Freeware Program and docs in French. WAKE UP V1.0 - An Auto folder program which switches the CPU and blitter to 16Mhz and switches on all caches. Handy if these have had their settings changed eg for ST emulation. THE WINNERS ENCLOSURE v2.4 by J S Cowper - A Shareware horse racing prediction program. It predicts the winners of races from its own internal data. Registered users get a copy of the exhaustive database containing details on top horses trainers and jockeys and the ability to update it along with a number of other features including advice on how much to bet on individual horses. Don t expect to become a millionaire but it s worth a try GNU C V1.4 - This is yet another variation of the GNU C compiler. However, this set is distinctly different from other versions in that it does NOT require a hard drive in order to run. It is fully functional and has been shoe-horned to fit into a 2.5 Meg ST by Trevor Blight. Now those of you who do not own a hard drive can try out what is arguably one of the best versions of C around. Please note that you MUST have at LEAST 2.5 Meg of memory in order to use this disk. M DEMO 3 by An Cool of TCB - Starts off with a horrible digitised intro but it gets better! The soundtrack is originally composed (probably with TCB Tracker) and is very well done, despite being wierd in places. It is of course in true stereo. I can't seem to exit the third demo, but then again perhaps you're not meant to! STE Only. MOBY DICK by Herman Melville - The complete original text to this novel on two disks. This work is out of copyright and may be freely copied. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts to some of William Shakespeare's comedies. This disk contains Measure for Measure, Merchant of Venice, Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer Night's Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Tempest. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are AA_TITLE, ARROWS, BIRD, CAKE, CAMERA_1, CAMERA_2, CAMERA_3, CAMUSER1, CAMUSER2, COOKBOOK, DEER, BEACH, DOG, DOLL, EFICIENT, FACENOSE, FACES, FEATHER, FILMREEL, FROG, FRUIT, GARLIC, GOLF, JANUS, JAPANEYE, JAZZ, KID1, KID2, KID3MUM, KID4, LINER, MAGICIAN, MEETING, MORRIS_M, MOUSE, OFFICE_1-OFFICE_3, OPIUM, PEN, PLANE, PRINTER1, PRINTER2, PRINTER3, PRINTER4, PRINTER5, READER, RECLINE, ROBOHAND, ROKCHAIR, STEW, SUN_1, SUN_2, SUN_3, SWEDES, TANKGIRL, TOWN_CRY, TRAIN, VANILLA, WATCH, WOMAN, WORK_1-WORK_3, WREN, YANKEE, BEEB, BENDOVER, BERT, BIFFO, BOROBAGE, BUBBLCAR, BULSHEDS, CASSETTE. ERORBASE V1.0 by Martin Wright - A STOS accessory which makes it easier to understand errors in STOS programs. It is essentially a database of all the STOS error numbers and their meanings. Much faster than looking up the manual! GNU DEBUG V3.5 - This version of the GNU debugger ONLY works with MINT (or Multi-TOS). It now supports GNU C++ as well as the standard GNU C. GNU SUPER OPTIMISER V2.2 - A function sequence generator which employs a generate and test approach to find the shortest instruction sequence for a given function. Most suitable for use on shortish routines since it is very time intensive. XAES V0.3 by Ken Hollis - A C programmer's library which adds various extensions to the AES. It allows up to 8 windows open on the Desktop, pop-up windows with ultra fast selection routines, custom editing routine, custom form_button and form_keybd replacements, extended object types and sensing routines, use of macros and much more. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. Supplied as C source for use in your own programs. Zapp Games Demo No 3 . A small jet plane takes off and takes you onto the main screen with scrolling text. Pressing F1 thru F10 plays various tunes. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 13 - An excellent 256 colour animation created on the PC. CARBOARD - This really is a massive animation requiring an extended format disk. It takes the form of one of those rotating billboards where there are different pictures on each edge of the blocks and the three car pictures change in a similar manner to opening a venetian blind. Requires 4 Meg. The Interkey Rap Demo by Sundox . Twenty seven keys with different samples on them. BASIC - Sample source codes in various dialects:- FAST BASIC - 80 COLOUR SCROLL DEMOS, FILE SELECTOR, RUBIK'S CLOCK, DIGISOUND SAMPLE PLAYER. GFA - BLITTER SWITCH, LANDSCAPE CREATOR, UNDO, PSAVE. HISOFT - UUDECODE ACCESSORY. STOS - SINE SCROLL DEMOS, STARFIELD, TILE GAME. MINT_KSH - PD version of Un*x Korn shell for use with MinT multitasking TOS replacement. Just like having Un*x at home. Manual but no source. MINT_UTIL - C source (only) of utilities for use with MinT multitasking TOS, includes printer spooler, init shell with pipes and job control and an accessory to start background tasks from GEM. No version info, but later than Mint 0.6 release. UNIXFLOP - A set of utilities for reading and writing files in tar format for exchange with Un*x systems using raw 720k floppies. Docs and C source included. COMPRESS - Un*x V.4 compatible 16-bit compress utility (i.e. creates .z files). Manual, no source. ZLIB - C library and source for routines to give read-only access to Un*x-style .z compressed files (up to 16-bit compression). Soundtracker files with player program . Files are MOVETIME OCCSANGN SYMPHAZE VYPOUT 11_1 AMVOLLEY BLUEMDAY INCOMP CAROLINE MEGA_MIX SHORTPSH. ARKADE v1.7 by Lee Offenberger - Arkade Controller is designed to allow on-line games to be run by remote users on a BBS. Full instuctions are provided to set up doors to run the games through. Arkade is shareware, and sysops using it are encouraged to register. Also included are the Skeleton Key, IO and Call File Selector BBS utilities. Note: Arkade is designed to work with BBS Express v1.72 and up. IGEDIT v2.5 by Larry Mears - Instant Graphics & Sound Editor is an accessory which sits between your terminal program and the screen. When IGS commands are received, they are carried out to produce graphics, sound and animation effects using a simple LOGO-like language. Reputedly, this is good enough to make well designed VT52 graphics look bad! Needless to say, the BBS at the other end must use IGS for you to get any benefit. TURBORS v1.0 by Neat & Nifty Software - A PD release of the software part of the TurboRS package. TurboRS is an upgrade to the ST's serial port to allow speeds of up to 115200 baud. The extra hardware generates a faster clock signal to drive the serial port at these higher speeds. Note that without this hardware, you can't go faster than the standard 19200 baud. The complete package costs $44 Canadian, including shipping charges. VULCAN EMBASSY BBS - A complete BBS system, offering message bases and online game support. Apparently it only runs at 300/1200/2400 baud. A bit basic, but everything seems to be there to allow you to set up a complete working BBS of your own. Pagestream Fonts . Fonts are ADVERT, ARCHI, BARNUM, BINNER, BOOKMAN, BURLOBLI, CALIGRA2, CASUAL, CELTIC, CHANCERY, CHICAGO, DGMAPPER, DINGBAT2, FREEHAND, HARLOE, KIBO, OAKVILLE, OLYMPIA, PALATINO, SOUVMED, SOUVMEDI, TYME_UI, UNIV_RMN, WESTERN, WINS_BLK. Soundtracker files with player program . Files are ARCAN, BEAT2C2, FAIRLGHT, GYTTJA, KILLING. Proscore - The demo of the Midi Sequencer from Digigram. This is a 32 track sequencer which has extensive editing features including the ability to print out. The only restriction on the demo is that you cannot save your compositions. Needs 1 Meg. TTF-GDOS V0.1 by Trevor Blight - The biggest problem with GDOS versions prior to SpeedoGDOS was a distinct lack of fonts. This was further compounded by the fact that separate font files had to be created for each point size required. The result was that you were stuck with the limited range of styles and point sizes available in PD or you had to create your own. Short of purchasing Speedo TTF-GDOS solves all of the above problems and more. It lets you use True Type fonts we have over 400 of them in the FONTS section of the catalogue within your GDOS based applications at any size from 7pt to 38pt. As well as being faster than Atari s GDOS it can use Motorola type TTF fonts as well as Intel ones swap printer drivers from within an application and load drivers from any location not just the GEMSYS directory. If that s not enough you save disk space too as TTF fonts take up less disk space than their GDOS equivalents. This disk is an essential purchase if you are still using GDOS v1.11. TTF-GDOS is not an upgrade to Speedo or NVDI 3/4. It still uses bitmapped fonts rather than their vector equivalents. Please note it does not include any printer drivers so you will need to use the ones supplied with your original GDOS distribution or those available on FALC.5965. Most GDOS based programs work well with TTF-GDOS but some including Timeworks do not. Trial and error is the watchword here. Includes a selection of fonts and several support programs. A very well concieved and extensively documented product. ICONS - Almost 150 icons for use with the THING replacement Desktop on FALC.5169. As well as regular icons miniature versions are also included. Many of these icons are for newer applications and do not appear in earlier icon collections. Although intended for use with THING they can also be used on the Falcon s built-in Desktop in place of the supplied DESKICON.RSC file or as additions to it if you have an RSC editor such as Interface. BAR V0.02 by Peter Rottengatter - A button bar for use with Multi-TOS Geneva or Magic. It displays a row of program names horizontally. Just press the appropriate button to launch that program. Sounds a bit basic but it s really quite neat It s a bit like the Windows 95 task bar except thatits the programs of your choice which are listed not active running tasks. You can set the font font size font colour text to be displayed and even pass parameters to the program. Obviously you must first set up the INF file to indicate which program names are to be included and of course specify the path to the appropriate programs. FALCON WAD TOOL V1.01 by Dave Murphy - An editor for DOOM WAD files. As well as letting you snoop around inside WAD files it serves three main purposes. You can extract graphics and sound samples replace existing graphics and sound samples with your own and finally you may remove parts of the WAD which are not currently supported by the Bad Mood DOOM engine FALC.5528 so as to save disk space. Please note when employing the last function that your WAD files will not be compatible with the original DOOM game. FIGLET V2.1.1 by Eero Tamminen - Have you ever seen examples of logos 3D text and jazzy messages created from nothing more than plain ASCII characters They are probably most common in email signature files but infrequently appear elsewhere. Lets blow away the myth they are not laboriously created by hand they are generated automatically using a program called FIGLET Finally we have an Atari version of FIGLET and a collection of over 130 ASCII fonts . The only drawback is that it s a TTP program and therefore less than intuitive to use. Having said that it is well documented. Figlet is best run from a command line as the standard input box for a TTP does not give much space for the necessary commands to be entered. Needs a hard drive. THE BOURNEMOUTH POSTSCRIPT COLLECTION DISK 16 - Contains the following Miscellaneous Fonts:- BILL'S DINGBATS, DAVY'S BIG KEYCAPS, DAVY'S CRAPPY WRITING, DAVY'S DINGBATS, DAVY'S KEYCAPS, DAVY'S RIBBONS, GRIFFIN DINGBATS, ZAPF DINGBATS, KEY TOP, MOROMA, SHORAI, PC ORNAMENTS.

There is an in depth interview with Dave Cobbledick and reviews include Freaked Out III (there' s also a special edition of Freaked Out on disk) and a Star Trek book. There's an article on how to write your own disk magazine and news about what the ST scene is like in South Africa. Chris Sharp gives you tips on how to go about meeting the TV personality that you have always admired and there's a feature on True Stories that you would not believe! Something for everyone here even if you are not a computer wizard. Remember this diskmag is Shareware and registration is highly recommended. S-FALC.4677 DEMOZOOM by Sonix The Extract - A demo of real time zooming in True Colour. The demo runs in auto or manual mode. In auto mode it zooms in and out of a background make up of a wallpaper created from a single True Colour picture. The zooming is very fast and goes right into single pixel depth and back out again. There are ten True Colour pictures within the demo and it cycles through them randomly. In manual mode you choose the picture using the function keys and move around it with the mouse. Pressing the mouse buttons zooms in and out. Regardless of which mode you are in there s a great stereo soundtrack which plays throughout. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. HOVER 94 by SUMA - Starts off with an originally composed soundtrack and then you re off to the flight deck You are in the cockpit of a hovercraft and you get the chance to explore the beautiful countryside. You can take your flight in arctic or mild conditions and swap between the two with a keypress. Steer the hovercraft around with the mouse. Although this looks like a mere fly past you ll notice that gravity also affects your ascent or descent You can also advance the time of day with a keypress and the screen display can be saved to disk at any time. Realtime generation of the fast moving 3D landscape make this an excellent demo. Needs 4 Meg. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 .

THE DEGASART PRESENTATION by Keith Markland and David Peppiate - A taster from Floppyshop's DegasArt graphics tutorial. This disk contains over 40 impressive hand drawn images by the above named graphic artists. Some are from the DegasArt package itself, others have never been seen before. Nicely presented in a slideshow with an accompanying text file giving some background on each image. Don't misunderstand, this is not a tutorial disk, you'll have to buy the full three disk set (available from Floppyshop) for that. Instead it's a collection of superb original artwork with a smattering of hints and tips for the budding computer artist. A four disk demo version of the excellent Dynacadd package. Includes extensive documentation and demo files. From DMC, creators of Calamus. The Save function is disabled in the demo version. Otherwise it is fully functional. These disks need at least 1 Meg. 1STW2PS - Converts 1st Wordplus v1.83 (and perhaps later versions) files into Postscript format. A number of user definable parameters allow for fine tuning of the output. The output can be saved to disk or sent directly to the Postscript printer, making multiple copies of your document if required. 1ST CAT - Allows you to alter the keyboard shortcuts within 1st Wordplus to those of your preference. MIKOSH TOOLS - Strips off extra spaces at the end of lines in ASCII files converted from 1st Wordplus and allows you to convert between the CR and CR+LF line end of line markers used typically by DOS and Unix ASCII files. ASCII V7.0 - Allows you to print out an ASCII file in one or two column mode using the different fonts built into your printer. Currently there"s drivers for the Citizen Swift 24 and NEC P6 printers. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German, although we"ve done a RUF translation. IBMASCII - Converts ASCII files from a PC to 1st Word or Signum/Script formats on the ST. It also converts IBM ASCII to Atari ASCII. LETTERHEAD V1.1 - Lets you use any IMG file of less than 8K as a letterhead. It loads in the picture and scales it to approximately one quarter of screen resolution, then allows you to set various parameters such as margin, number of pages, page length, print quality etc. Prints to Epson compatible printers. MAKE A BOOK V2.30 - Takes an ASCII file and allows you to assign Postscript fonts to it, then arranges it into A5 booklet form for printing out. It was designed to be used with UltraScript but will probably work with CompoScript too. Point size and character spacing can also be set. Rather than printing using UltraScript, you can save the file to disk in Postscript format for sending to a bureau (it could probably also be used with GhostScript on LAN.73 & LAN.76). PS2TXT - Converts Postscript files to ASCII by stripping out all the Postscript instructions. TRANSLATOR - Converts ASCII files to Postscript format. You are given control over the margin settings, font used and point size. An update on LAN.08C . This version is virtually bug-free and now supports player missile graphics.Full 6502 emulation is supported and the facilities can accomodate basic operations for a C64 and Apple II emulation. Unfortunately due to copyright, the author was unable to incorporate the operating systems of these machines. Needs 1 Meg of memory. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 34 - Two more great animation from the PC. BIKE - A raytraced 3D picture of a bicycle leaning against a brick wall is zoomed in on from the side and from above.

THE STOS SHOOT 'EM UP BUILDER KIT by Ian Blair - In a similar vein to SEUK but created using STOS Basic. This program allows you to create your own shoot 'em up type games. Although it is not essential that you own STOS Basic, you will need it if you want to create your own sprites and sound effects. SSEUBK is Shareware and is restricted to creating games with two levels. Register for £ and you get a version which allows up to 20 levels, full STOS source code and notification of free updates! An example game is included on disk. Ninja Mission Remix by The BBC Crew . Listen to five remixed tunes from the game. Select the sixth and you'll crash the machine!

It does not let you write to these partitions, merely read data from them and/or copy data off them. EXT2 requires an XHDI hard disk driver (such as HDDriver) and MiNT/Multi-TOS. HYPERION by Keith Baines - A hypertext viewer for the Psion Series 3a and 3c. Similar in concept to ST-Guide, though not compatible with it. Registered users get a utility which lets them create their own hypertext files. Please note, this is a Psion program, not an Atari one! It needs to be transferred to the Psion using ST2S3 (on F.5348). MAGICSLM by Harald Schoenfeld - Lets you use an Atari SLM804/605 laser printer to print files from a Falcon, PC or Mac! You need to attach the SLM to the ST's DMA port (you need an ST to act as your printer server) and connect the two computers via a null modem cable. Print from the Falcon, PC or Mac (using an HP driver) to the serial port and MAGICSLM will intercept the data and print it to the SLM. If your application does not support printing to the serial port, you will need to print to disk instead. Although it seems like overkill having to connect up two computers and a printer, it does let you make use of your Atari laser on machines which do not have a DMA port. Docs are in German, but there's an excellent article in Atari Computing #9 explaining how to set it up. Needs an ST (or STE) with at least 2Mb, running the Diablo emulator (on UTL.364), a null modem cable, a Atari SLM804/605 laser and an application which supports printing to the serial port or to disk. MAGICP by Tommy Andersen - Patches the MagiC kernel file to fix problems which exist when running MagiC on a TT with TOS 3.01/3.06. If your TT has TOS v3.06, you don't need this patch. It fixes v3.x, 4.x and 5.x of MagiC. MAGIC CONFIG v1.5 by Christian Ratsch - Lets you alter all user- configurable settings within the MAGX.INF file of MagiC v5 or v6. These include the maximum number of windows, environmental variables, system font, shell buffer size, boot resolution, cookie jar size, timeslice allocation, long filename support, look and feel of the GUI and lots more. MAGX CONFIG V1.0 by Dominique Bereziat - Another program which lets you customise the variables stored within MAGX.CNF. This one is very different in presentation, but similar in functionality to MagiC Config (also on this disk). Regrettably both program and docs are in French. NO GREEN V0.95 by Mikael Folkesson - Does the green (blue on the Falcon!) annoy you on bootup? This program replaces it with a grey background. In fact, you can alter that to any colour (or indeed image) you wish, using a resource file editor such as Interface or Resource Master. FASTSHUT by Christian Ratsch - Lets you shut down MagiC from Start Me Up (on UTL.5760) without having to open its right-click extra menu. Besides, it's much faster than SMU's method. The Delirious Demo by The Alliance . Twenty demos on this double disk set. Most demos run on a 520 but some need 1 Meg. FATEMASTER by Animalsoft - An arcade adventure. As the hero Tsin- Fei, you are sent to the planet Tafoi at the request of its rulers, to dispose of the Swokis and so restore peace. Plenty of puzzles to solve, objects to collect and baddies to avoid or destroy as you travel around the planet. Should you encounter an enemy, you move to a combat screen where you can slug it out head to head! TCB Tracker - A promotional demo created with the 4 channel sample sequencer currently being marketed by MPH. Cylon14c - animated cartoon of spacecraft. Traxdemo - demo version of music player. STOS Friend Chip Issue 4 - This diskmag is brought to you from Germany and is produced by the Take 5 Team. It is entirely STOS orientated and has loads of source, music, extensions, fonts, icons and sprites. There is a huge list of STOS users and contacts from around the world, a list of PD Libraries worldwide and the STOS Friend Chip Top 10 Disks. If you are a STOS user you may find something of interest on this disk. Despite its origins, STOS Friend Chip is written in English. CHORDIAL by Steve Dye - A Shareware keyboard chord tutor which plays over MIDI. Simple to use, just point at the chord name and it is displayed on the keyboard. A rather serious drawback is that only 24 three- note chords can be selected. DW8000 by Petri Sinisalo - A random sound generator for the Korg DW8000 synthesiser. MIDIFOXX v2.14 by Petri Sinisalo - Sends and receives sysex data to and from your keyboard. Data can be edited if you know what you're doing, and saved to disk.

S-FALC.5976 S-FALC.5977 S-FALC.5978 MOONGAMES by Gilles Audoly - This is an updated version of MoonSpeeder and has been released as Freeware by the author following the closure of Composcan France the distributors of its predecessor. Moongames is a racing game in which you pilot a hovercraft-type vehicle set on different racetracks and labyrinths located on different planets. After a rather impressive intro you are presented with the option of training or competing in the championships. After a spell of training on the various tracks some are unavailable until you reach a certain stage in the championships you progress to compete in the real thing. This involves completing 15 different tracks or labyrinths with a target of coming fourth or better overall. Choosing the best vehicle is vital and there are eight on offer. The tracks each present their own challenges and victory can be elusive to say the least. Upon completion of every second race you enter a bonus round in which you can lose points as well as gain them Moongames is a challenging game designed to give months of gameplay you can save your game at any point and resume at a later date . It can be played by one or two players using joystick mouse joypad or keyboard. In addition there are lots of user definable options which can be set. Very highly recommended. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. SQUARE OFF by Dave Munsie - Arcade Dave's back with another compelling blast from the past! This is a very highly polished Tetris game with lots of extras over the original. It's crammed with sound samples and DMA sound throughout as well as the usual high quality graphics and gameplay we all expect from Dave. You can play one or two player games using joystick, Jaguar joypad or any combination of these. There's Classic, Arcade and 2 Player Battle modes. This Shareware version is complete except that you are restricted to playing just 7 of the 20 levels or a single levelif in Battle mode. It just oozes with quality and is even more addictive than the original. Needs 1 Mb, STE ONLY. Nitrowave Demo by NAOS . Written for the GEN 4 demo competition. Press F1, F2 and F3 to enter the sub-demos. Top quality graphics and animation (music by Mad Max). FPLIB20 by David Brooks - A floating point library for Sozobon C. This release contains fixes to FPLIB release 1.0 as well as the standard Sozobon release 1.0 floating support.Included is a new LIBM.A that has the new routines included (and the other routines re-arranged to remove the need to scan the library twice). GFA_CONTROL by Rob Wiltschut - A GEM based shell to tie all the component parts (interpreter, linker and compiler) together. Unfortunately both program and docs are in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. GFA PATCH V0.98 by Gregor Duchalski and Christopher Conrad - A comprehensive GEM based program for use with the GFA Basic interpreter and compiler. This program deals with various bugs in the Line- A, Setcolour, Merge, Call and Deflist commands as well as the colours in used in the Editor and much more. The Compiler is MagiC compatible. Unfortunately, the program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. PURE C SHELL V2.21 by Frank Schramm - A comprehensive shell for use with PURE C only. Extensive menu system gives the user control over linkers. compilers, assemblers and much more. This shell program only runs in high res and requires TOS 2.06 or later. Unfortunately the program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. ATARI ST PROFILER by David Rowley - Monitors the execution of another program and writes out an analysis of where the program being monitored spends most of its execution time. The report states what percentage of the total time is taken up by each individual routine. SHOWMsg V2.0 by Bill Aycock - An ACC which can display and respond to the GEM messages it receives. It is intended to help programmers debug applications that send or receive messages through the GEM message pipe. ShowMsg runs on any ST or TT in any resolution. Comprehensive docs are included. CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has everything you need to turn your ST into a pseudo UNIX workstation for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for a Unix-like setup on your ST. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web. Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet ftp sites. Setting up an ST to run the above system is usually a nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it is the next best thing (and it runs on an 'ordinary' ST. Please note that this package requires 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It also requires a high resolution mono monitor. EC-909 - An analogue drum machine emulator from Electronic Cow Software. It is based on the famous Roland TR-909 drum machine and comes complete with sixteen original samples from that machine. EC-909 can create single bar patterns and export them to sample editors in AIFF or AVR formats (8-bit or 16-bit in mono or stereo). They can also be exported in MIDI format for use in your sequencer. Although perfectly usable, many of the best features are disabled in this demo. Needs 1Mb, MONO Only, STE Only. SCRIBBLE SYNTH - Another of Electronic Cow Software's innovative music products. Scribble Synth is an additive synthesiser in a similar vein to Snippit Synth but this time, you make your music by drawing frequency envelopes on the screen! These mouse scribbles (of which there are five per sound) are transformed into 2D frequency spectrum plots by the software. The results can be amazing, strange sci-fi warbles, time based pitch and filtering effects and more, are all possible as well as some really deep bass sounds. Sounds can be exported to tracker programs and sample editors in AIFF, SPL or AVR formats (8-bit and 16-bit in mono or stereo and at any frequency up to 50khz). Sounds can also be dumped via MIDI to an MSDS compatible sampler. A number of the ground-breaking features are disabled in this demo version. Mono Only, needs 1Mb. HP V1.16 by Homa Systems - Demo version of the NOVA driver for the Hewlett Packard Scanjet IICX, IIp, 3P/C, 4P/C range of flatbed scanners. It handles page sizes up to 8.5"x14" and supports pre-scan and various adjustments such as gamma correction, brightness and contrast, adjustable scaling and scanning at up to 1200dpi (dependent on your scanner's capabilities). It runs as an ACC or PRG and can scan directly into programs which support the GDPS protocol, or direct to your hard drive. I can't say what's disabled in this demo version as I don't own one of these scanners. MUST V1.17 by Homa Systems - Demo version of the NOVA driver for the Mustek Paragon 6000/ 12000 CX range of flatbed scanners. All specifications as per the HP driver (above) Neodesk - A usable demo of the alternative Desktop. Some features are disabled in this version.

Its functions include the ability to verify fats verify files on disk repair damaged files change file attributes copy move sort and delete files and folders. Extensive info is available on disk format and the directory tree style of presentation is impressive to say the least. If that s not enough AT Tools is also a hard drive optimiser Perhaps one of the best presented and most comprehensive disk management tools on the market. The demo goes through all the motions of carrying out the selected functions but does not actually write to disk. Also included on disk is a demo version of a text editor by the same author. COMA V4.50 by Softb r - A COmunications MAnager for your Atari. COMA is an integrated suite of programs for those of you who own a fax modem.

Two example screens are supplied to get you started. ST GUIDE v1.5E - Probably the best Hypertext clone on the ST. Like all the others, it reads in a text file and highlights keywords. These can be clicked to take you to linked areas of the document. You can page back and forth and cross reference from one topic to another. ST Guide scores over the competition in many ways. It can be run as a program or ACC and handles graphics are well as text. It comes with a limited amount of C source code and a utility to convert any ASCII file into the required format so that you can create your own Hypertext documents. It is Freeware, it's extensively documented and it's a complete implementation. Now in English. HARD DISK OPTIMIZER V2.6 by H P Vetter - One of the smartest looking hard disk optimisers and defragmenters around. What's more, it appears to work well too! It check for data errors (FAT mismatches, directory problems, lost clusters etc), physical errors (faulty sectors) and fixes these. It can also defragment your drive too. Multi-TOS compatible and very simple to use. It doesn't look as pretty as Diamond Edge but it does its job well. Program in English but docs in German, although we've done a rough translation.

CV CV TRANSLATOR v3.0 by Carlos Varela - A multi-language translation program based on GER2ENG but now translating in both directions to/from from English and German French Italian Spanish Dutch and Portuguese. The program itself is very powerful but the dictionaries provided are very sparse as an incentive to register. Registered users get extensive dictionary files. DARK LORD V3.0 by Steve Pedler - An extensible screen saver which runs in any resolution and fully supports all hardware and software screen expanders. It is modular and modules may be swapped in and out to suit. You can monitor activity from keyboard mouse midi or modem. Almost everything can be configured to suit and there s even information on writing your own modules. GENEVA PATCH - This program patches v1.01 of the multi-tasking operating system to v1.02. There are lots of improvements so it s worth your while updating. Please note that you require an original copy of Geneva v1.01 for this patch to be of any use to you. MASTER BROWSE V4.9 by ESS - Probably the best document displayer available. It operates within a GEM window and allows you to search text set markers select and print blocks and much more.

This is the program used on the Floppyshop catalogue disk. LANZPOV by Jose Ferrer - A nice easy to use GEM based shell for TT owners using POV Raytrace. It allows you to alter every parameter used ny POV with the use of simple mouse clicks instead of having to run POV from a CLI based environment. It's simply a case of clicking an up or down arrow or a box to select or deselect. There is absolutely no typing involved! MODLIST V1.48 by Matthew Hunter - A Shareware disk cataloguing program for MOD (not TCB Tracker) files. It reads in an entire disk of MOD files at a time and adds them to the database. The filename, MOD name (the 19 character name which appears when you play it), file size and disk number are all displayed. This utility helps you keep track of your entire collection of MODs in order to avoid duplicates. In addition, MOD files packed with the commonest packers will be correctly read and their data extracted. Some functions are disabled in this version. SPEAK TIME by 4HJ - A fun program for generating synthesised speech. You type in a sentence and can instruct the program to read it backwards or forwards. You may also alter the speed at which the words are spoken, as well as the pitch. Doing so changes the output quite significantly. The program speaks to you in rather a robotic tone when issuing instructions but practice can get it reciting your chosen sentences in an almost human voice! NOT TOS 2.06. 1ST GUIDE v06/97 - An ACC/PRG/GTP which acts as a Hypertext system with the primary purpose of allowing you to access on-line help files within GEM based programs. In addition to acting as a comprehensive Hypertext system, 1st Guide can also be used as a file viewer for ASCII and 1st Word/Wordplus documents and (X)IMG, IFF, JPG, PNG, GEM and MPG movies (incl audio), RSC files containing icons and play sampled sounds in SAM, SND and AVR formats. 1st Guide is Shareware and registration unlocks various features disabled in this version including the ability to create your own on-line help files. You can also print out files if you have GDOS or SpeedoGDOS installed. Short English instructions are included with this version. Registration in UK now available through InterActive. CRYPTON V1.99 by Standa Jirman - A hard drive defragmentor and optimiser. A superb program for tidying up your hard drive. Optimising your drive regularly with this program will speed the drive up as well as reducing the risk of data loss. The install program supplied allows you to prevent certain partitions from being accesed by Cryton Disk. This is particularly important for those of you who have Mac or PC partitions.

Mono Only. MAKE_UP V1.09 by Frank Behrens - A Shareware text manipulation program similar in some ways to Idealist but not so comprehensive. MAKE_UP can be used with the included program BLINEX which will convert between 4 different ASCII fonts, remove unwanted blank lines and blank characters. The ability to call up IDEALIST as well as any text editor is also included. A very comprehensive hypertext manual is included but unfortunately it's in German.

Unfortunately there are no Midi Karaoke files supplied. GENERAL MIDI MULTI-SET EDITOR FOR THE KORG 03R/W by Peter Bogner - Due to the fact that the Korg 03R/W only supports one multi-set, all data is normally lost when you switch off. This program allows you to create or change multi-sets and save them to disk for transmitting to the Korg at any time. You can choose the sound group, sound name (GM mode), the volume and parameter setting for each channel. It is also possible to swap between the GM bank and the 03R/W's soundbank. Runs as a PRG or ACC. SMF PLAYER v1.1 by Peter Bogner - A nice GEM based program which simply outputs any standard Midi file (format 0 or 1) to your synth.

ELEGANCE by Tim Chapman - An ACC which replaces the built-in system font with a Mac-like equivalent. GEN_205 by K Crossan - A Shareware statistical analysis program designed around the National Lottery. It is not a number generator but rather a program to produce numeric charts, percentage charts, bar graphs and hit charts based upon actual drawn numbers or your own chosen numbers in the range 1 to 49. It demonstrates a scientific approach to the laws of probability and may well provide you with a more logical way in which to attain those elusive millions! LOTTERY 6 V3.0 by Andy Morgan - Allows you to store the results of all National Lottery draws from 1994 to 2012 in a database. These can be analysed to show which numbers have been drawn most often and how many times they have been drawn.

SCAN_RSC by Dr Bob - Allows you to load up any RSC file and browse its contents or print them out. Particularly useful for translating RSCs as it ensures you don't miss any foreign text. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are BANANANA, JINGLES, MACH_ONE, SEVEN_A, ZOINK. BLUE SUNRISE By Colin Campbell - This is a text adventure, but with a difference. Firstly the user is allowed to become either a male or female character within the game, and at the beginning you are not told what your task is to be! In fact you wake up in your shower after having had one of those nights about which you remember very little. By exploring the world within the game, speaking to people you meet and reacting with things you may come up against, you will be asked to complete a certain task, which you may choose to accept, or not. One for fans of this type of game, particularly those looking for a game with a difference. Needs 1 Meg. FUTURETIME VI - 'ALIEN ARCHITECTURE' by Neil Donnan - A collection of 7 Cyber Animations which are all part of the 'Future Series'. As you would expect from such a title, the animations are set in the future. There are no words, no music just the animations.

Lots of other statistics are also available. ST_LC33 by Michael Miller - Circuit diagrams (in IMG format) and text describing how to link up a Sharp LM641542 LCD display and use it as a monochrome monitor. This is an electronics project which is not suited to amateurs. Also, it's in German and our RUF translation leaves a lot to be desired! Clip Art (CARTOONS) in IMG format . Files are BEARCAKE, BEARGLAS, BEARSOCK, BEBOP, BIKER, BIKERACE, DIYMAN, FAMILY, FATMAN, FEDUP, FISH, FLYER, GRANBOY, HELP, HENRY8TH, JAWSMAN, MANBOY, MANCAR, MANTRIP, OOPSGIRL, PHONEMAN, POCKETS, RAZORCUT, REDINDIA, ROCKSTDY, SCARED, SOLDIERS, SORETOE, THINKER, TOILET, TOURIST, TRAINER, TURTLES, TVBOYS, WALLY, WASHER, YOKLES.

This allows you to create a manual complete with chapters, cross referencing, indexing etc, and an on-line menu driven manual which can be accessed from within your own programs. To use TexInfo, you require the TeX document processing and typsetting system on S-LAN.34 to S-LAN.39. Requires MINT or Multi-TOS. You'll probably need 4 Meg, to use TeXInfo properly. TeXInfo itself is on the first disk, with over 740K of docs on the second!

PAPILLON by Application Systems Heidelberg - A rather impressive art package which supports IMG including colour Doodle STAD Degas Macpaint NEO IFF and GIF formats. Like TruePaint the tools are attached to the side of the picture within its window. A comprehensive range of tools are included and its colour reduction capabilities are particularly impressive especially when converting to greyscales. Several pictures are supplied on disk for you to experiment with. Functions in any resolution with up to 256 colours. Multi-TOS compatible runs on large screens too. Unfortunately the program is in German. Well worth a look. Fully functional except for save. CRAZY MUSIC MACHINE by Application Systems Paris - This looks like being a most comprehensive music package. It has its own built-in sampling software allows standard music notes to be entered onto a stave includes MIDI support and uses the DSP to create effects. CMM seems to be a cross between a soundtracker type program and a conventional composition package. Save is disabled in the demo and an alert box pops up every time you do something just to remind you that you are using the demo version. Unfortunately this program is in French. LES ANIMAUX by Parx Software - An educational game for young children. You must match up the top half of an animal s body with the correct bottom half. Failure to do so results in some rather strange hybrids It also works as a colouring book where you get an outline shape of the animal or the wierd hybrid to colour in. There s a choice of three great stereo tunes to listen to throughout the program. The demo only features three of the eighteen animals and both save and print are disabled. If you can live with the animal names being in French it might just be worthwhile buying the full version. Clip Art PEOPLE PLACES HOLIDAYS in IMG format .

MATHS ACTION - This program handles multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. There are six play levels, the most difficult handling higher numbers. If all 1O questions are answered correctly, a game of 'shoot down the correct number' is there. Make one mistake and you go right back into question time again! Good for basic mathematics. SPIDER SPELL - A Hangman clone. Creepie crawlies, webs, a spider and ladybugs all combine to make this version of Hangman different. The sprites are active and entertaining and there are six levels of play. FIRST MATHS - This one is the cream of the crop. Select one of 4 games from the menu. 1st Count shows several pictures of the same object and you have to select the correct number. 1st Add and 1st Subtract show a sum in figures and pictures.

BUBBLEGEM V0.4 by Thomas Much - How often have you found yourself spending hours days familiarising yourself with an application s interface only to find you ve forgotten what all the icons do a few weeks later Bubblegem displays short text about each icon in a speech bubble when you right-click over the icon. Programs need to be Bubblegem aware but simple examples are given so it s not a major job incorporating it into your own programs. Bubblegem runs as an ACC or PRG. Several of the newer Shareware programs are already starting to support Bubblegem. FILLER by Remi Vanel - A tool for aiding backups. It decides which of the selected files would fit onto a floppy disk leaving the minimum of free space. You can optionally use up all free space by cutting large files and splitting them between two or more disks. All the calculations are done by the program. There are some restrictions on this Shareware version. English and French versions supplied. CD LIB V1 by Olivier Azeau - When used in conjunction with MetaDOS or ExtenDOS it allows you to play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive do remember you ll need to use headphones or you won t hear anything . Type Help to get a list of commands. The program looks a bit basic at first sight but includes C source and libraries so that you can include it functions in your own programs. CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your name and chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read or run it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to its original state. DTCOOKIE V1.2 by Christoph Zwerschke - Adds international date and time cookies to the Cookie Jar. These control the keyboard language and layout and how the date and time are displayed. Their default settings are taken from non-volatile RAM and can be changed by software. With these cookies installed when they are changed the changes remain active for all applications. Many dual language applications use these cookies to determine which language RSC to load. Docs in German but with a RUF translation. DUB S PRINTER SPEEDER V1.01 - Claims to speed up printing by up to 50 times. Similar to iPRN and Fpprint. ENTER by Gen Wax - Execute a TOS program from this TTP. When you exit your chosen program the screen display will be frozen until you press Return giving you as much time as you need to read any text on the screen. MSX0 V0.12 by F van Heusden - Does anyone remember the MSX computer This is an MSX emulator which runs on any Atari. It appears to be quite well designed as it features 3 channel music printer and RS232 support and a whole lot more. Virtual disk drives can be created and a few example basic programs are given. Unfortunately there s no instructions although you should know what you re doing if you own an MSX. OBJECT LINKING for GEM APPLICATIONS OLGA V1.2 by Thomas Much - Allows object linking between programs. Put simply under a multi-tasking OS lets assume you have the same file open in two applications at the same time. When you edit it in one application it is automatically updated in the other if object linking is active. The benefits are obvious. This version of OLGA may be run as an ACC or set up in MagiC/Multi-TOS to run only when an OLGA aware application is active. Includes full programmer s docs in English in ST-Guide FALC.4782 format. Also on disk is a program called OLGAniser which adds OLGA support to existing GEM programs a debugger and other support files. Apart from OLGA itself most of the other files/docs are in German but we ve done a RUF translation. Only runs under Mult-TOS or MagiC. QLEM V1.45 by Jochan Klockars - A Sinclair QL sucessor to the ZX Spectrum emulator. It includes parallel port and joystick support can boot from a disk image and can read Atari floppy disks. However it does not have RS232 micro drive hard drive or sound support. Another program is included to read QL disks and convert the data on them into legal TOS filenames so they can be run from the newly created virtual disk file. Like the MSX emulator this is an interesting curiosity rather than a full blown emulator. WRAP MOUSE V1.61 by Richard Short - A useful program which lets you assign key functions such as Control or Alternate to the right mouse button. You can also make the right button simulate a double-click or swap over the functions of the right and left buttons. The mouse pointer can also wrap around to the opposite edge when it hits the top bottom left or right of the screen area. Works with standard Atari mice as well as serial mice using the appropriate custom driver software. All functions controlled by a CPX for use with Atari s Xcontrol FALC.4862 . TEST SCSI by Centek - Tests any SCSI hard drive just select its ID number on your SCSI chain for errors. JAY MSA V1.03 by Jay Soft - A new version of the Magic Shadow Archiver which copies the entire contents of a disk into a single file. It creates a disk image and is therefore ideal for use with demos since it preserves odd disk formats and custom bootsectors. This version adds the ability to browse directories in MSA files and extract individual files rather than an entire disk. File compression is also supported. Jay MSA runs in a window and is therefore ideally suited for use with Multi-TOS and Magic although it will run under TOS. The Printing Press - An easy to use art & printing package for letterheads, greeting cards, labels etc. Draw your own or use imported clip art. Print quality similar to screendump. 9 and 24 pin drivers supported. SYMPOSIUM by Hydroxid - Their contribution to the Symposium 96 demo party. A great demo which packs a lot of punch for its size it actually fits on one disk . Features an impressive distortion of a woman s face you ve never seen such a smooth transformation at speed and lots of DSP based dot generated objects some of which are unusually shaped. There s a few original graphic screens one of which uses the magnifying glass effect. It that s not enough you get the burning embers effect a rubber type illusion on the Hydroxid logo and more... Finally it ends with the credits and greetings which are given in both English and French. Well produced demo with a superb original soundtrack composed specifically for the event. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Mb. MAGIC ROM v5 - Allows you create a ROM based version of the MagiC (V2, 3 or 4) multi-tasking operating system which can then be blown into EPROMS which will replace the TOS ROMs in your machine. Please note that this program is only of use to you if you already have the MagiC software. Programs and docs in German, but a RUF translation of docs is included. Designed for use in an STFM so there _might_ be problems in an STE. This DIY project will not work on the TT or Falcon. MULTITOOL - A collection of utilities for use with MagiC. They display amount of CPU time being used up, allow printing in the background (with extensive user control over settings), automatically launch a batch of programs at startup, incorporate support for alias files and make GFA Basic compiled programs more compatible with MagiC. Programs and docs in German but a RUF translation of the docs is included. SHAURI v1.1 by Racame Production - An extensive system analysis program which is similar in many ways to Mark Baines' Profile 2. It gives info on TOS version, Memory, AES, VDI, GDOS fonts, disk drives connected, Auto programs, ACCs, CPX's (including settings for each individual CPX), cookies installed, the memory map, DESKTOP/NEWDESK.INF settings and NVRAM settings on the TT and Falcon. Details of your setup are saved to an ASCII file for you to analyse. DIAMOND EDGE V2.04 PATCH - Updates v2.0, 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03 of the hard disk optimising/defragmenting and editing tool, Diamond Edge, to v2.04. Please note that this is only a patch program, you need to have an original of the relevant version of Diamond Edge, otherwise it is of no use to you. EXTRACTOR FAN V1.0 by Movement Software - A handy program which copies only the files which have been changed (within a specified directory) to an alternative directory of your choice. It does this my using the archive bit in the file headers. Invaluable for backing up data without having to either copy everything or remember which files you've altered recently. Needs TOS 1.4 or later. OKIDUMP by Rich Whitsell - An ACC which replaces the built-in ALT+HELP screen dump utility so as to make it compatible with OKI printers. Works with the OKI ML92 and ML93 and lets you print in portrait or landscape mode. SLO-MO by Joe Tam - Slows down your ST to a speed (1/10th of normal speed is the slowest!) setting of your choice. Useful if you find arcade games too fast to play or have a disability which would benefit from slower responses to your actions on the computer. SHAKESPEARIAN PLAYS - The complete original texts of some of William Shakespeare s histories. This disk contains Macbeth Henry IV parts 1 2 Henry V Henry VI parts 1 2 3 Henry VIII Richard II and Julius Caesar. These texts are well out of copyright and may be freely copied.

The introduction is an excellent scrolling city landscape with a row of trees which scroll in front of the city. There are then several screens of original hand drawn graphics which introduce the demo. Once the introduction (which uses up the whole of disk one!) ends, the main menu is loaded. White Spirit contains twelve tunes which are spread over the other two disks. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the tune titles, and press INSERT to load your chosen tune. A short text description is displayed for each tune. Unfortunately this, like all other text in the demo, is in French. Whilst the tunes are played, there is either an animated Adrenaline band displayed or a piano. Pressing the SPACEBAR toggles between the band and the selection screen. S-FALC.4513 POV RAYTRACE V2.0 FALCON and v2.2 TT - This is the long awaited followup to POV Raytrace. Although raytracing is always slow this version is much faster than its predecessor. New features include improved antialiasing soft penumbral shadows for extended area lights simplified torus syntax three new pigment textures and support for phong shading. In addition several hundred scenes are supplied for you to render yourself. These are grouped depending on the ability of user they are aimed at. Also included are a number of conversion programs which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There s also various utilities which let you create lissajous build helixes from a torus create spiral textures on spheres create b-splines from cones and spheres create xtal shapes and twisted objects.

There are two versions on disk POV v2.0 for the 68030 processor and POV 2.2 for the TT or a Falcon with a 68882 maths coprocessor. DESERT DRAIN v1.52 - A powerful 680xx disassembler. It is GEM based and has a host of features and is well documented. Regrettably both program and docs are in French. Well worth translating is anyone's interested. C_SOURCE by Lee Wheeler - A collection of small routines written in Lattice C which can be used in your own programs. They range from reading joystick and mouse inputs to converting decimal to hex, peeking and poking around and using IBM graphics style commands on your Atari. PGP SHELL V0.5 - A nice easy to use GEM based front end for Pretty Good Privacy (as secure password protection system) on LAN.4280. FLIP V0.3 - C source code for a FLI and FLC animation player. This version now handles FLC files which are larger than 320x200. Unfortunately there's no executables. C SCAPE v1.1 by Pete Bailey - An integrated front end for Sozobon C (LAN.13). Rather than have to use Sozobon C from a CLI, C-Scape gives you a nice easy to use working environment and allows your compiler and editor to be called up with a simple key press. The package also includes a text editor called Opal. A useful feature of C-Scape is its ability to switch between low and medium resolutions so that you can write the code for a low res program whilst in medium res but don't have to reboot to test out your code. HYDROXID DEMO by Hydroxid - This is an Intermedia 93 production and contains six screens, two of which are still pictures. The first screen after the introduction has a picture of a futuristic land and is constructed from three dimensional shade sprites. These sprites are moving ball-like things which form patterns on the screen. Then comes a picture of a warrior, followed by splines (an old effect of lots of dots which move up and down along a line). The effect may be old but it is very smoothly implemented. Before the next moving screen, the second still graphic picture appears. This time it is of a futuristic Adam and Eve. After this the Linerout screen appears. It contains moving wireframe objects which appear to be constructed from what looks like fuzzy-type lines. The ever so famous moving ball constructed from lots of dots is the last but one screen and the final screen is reserved for the greetings to various other demo coding groups. PERSON - a quizz to test your personality. Are you an introvert, extrovert etc. PLACES - tells you the meanings of British place names.

Works normally with a 512 colour palette on ordinary STs. SCANNER - full details of how to make a printer scanner (similar to IMG Scan from Ladbroke Computing). Originally in German, an English translation is also on disk. The documentation is extremely extensive as is the software. You can save scans in Degas format or in the program's own format. There is also a viewer program that allows you to view Degas files and a number of example scans in PI3 format are on disk. A knowledge of electronics is required. All programs run in colour but PLACES, SCRAMBLE, SONGFILE, CONTROL.ACC and SCANNER run in mono or colour. CLIPART (BATMAN & MONEY) IN IMG FORMAT for use in DTP. Files are (BATMAN -CARTOONS) BATMAN, BAT_CAR, BAT_TOON, CATWOMAN, JOKER, PENGUIN, RIDDLER, ROBIN, ROBIN2, (AMERICAN MONEY) 100DOLAR, 10DOLLAR, 20DOLLAR, 50DOLLAR.

However you cannot legally exit the player program on a 1 Meg machine and will have to reset. ST HIGHWAY #8 SEPTEMBER 1997 - Just as this diskzine is finding a niche for itself, there are mutterings about the next issue being the last. Lets hope not! This month's reviews are of Battlezone, Destruction Imminent and the Supra Express Modem. There's hints & tips on around 20 ST games and contact info for the main companies and user groups supporting the ST. There's the usual bulging postbag, lots of adverts, more of Albert's 'twist in the tale' stories, part 6 of Your Second Manual, full transcripts of the "Young Ones" Summer Holiday episode and the pilot episode of Red Dwarf, several film reviews and a report from a recent Jean Michel Jarre concert.

THE VENTURA DEMO by The Overlanders - The intro sequence was originally intended as an intro to a game they were coding but never finished. Follow the storyline and watch the alien get into his Delorean and fly off in 'Back To The Future' style. Just as lands on a far away planet and gets out of his vehicle you are ready for the game to start but get the main menu of The Ventura Demo! Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. The intro was incredible and the main menu is impressive too. Various large animated sprites make it interesting to watch before you'll even consider entering a demo! The demo proper consists of 11 sub demos and a reset demo, none of which you can complain about. There's plenty of fullscreen stuff, parallax scrolling, fullscreen distortions, bobs and more bobs, Spectrum 512 picture show, you name it and Ventura has it. This is a really impressive demo which has 3.5 Meg of graphics alone compacted into it! The sound, graphics and animation are all superb. You'll need both disks though!

Each different file type can be assigned its own icon using Edit Icons which is one of many options from the Extra menu. Program, folder and file Icons can all be dragged from windows onto the Desktop, where a duplicate appears. To run the programs, all you do is click on its Desktop Icon. You can also launch a program by dragging an appropriate data file onto the Desktop Icon.

SPACE WARS 2000 by Johnnie Chan - A shoot 'em up for 2 to 4 players with strategic elements thrown in.

STEN Issue 14b - As promised in issue 14 of STEN, the authors have released an intermediate issue of their popular magazine. This is certainly a tribute to the quality and quantity of articles that STEN has to offer readers. The reason for this halfway issue is that the articles are almost completely non-computing, as opposed to the usual mix that a mainstream issue would offer. This issue is presented in the regular STEN interface, which means easy article selection and effortless reading. Some of the features are: a humorous 'what they write... what they mean' article, the definitivee light bulb joke file - you're bound to be made fun of, IBM computing compared to communism in the old Soviet Union, Mum's dangerous activity list, an A-Z of witty quotes, a top secret government agency, and a list of 'Urban legends' are either discredited or backed up.

It may be fair to say that Edith really is the best there is when it comes to text editors. This version is fully translated and restricted only in the fact that it does not save. The full version can be obtained in the UK. See details on disk. KOBOLD V3.0 - The high speed file copier. If you have a hard drive Kobold can copy megabytes in seconds.

This version represents a major upgrade over NEODesk 3 and includes many advanced features many of which are discussed in the accompanying text file. NEODesk 4 is fully compatible with leading multi-tasking operating systems and offers all the advantages of TOS 2.06 and NEODesk 3 as well as lots of similar features to those found in Windows on the PC and System 7 on the Apple Macintosh. The demo does not allow you to copy or move files save configuration or format a disk. It goes through the motions in most cases to demonstrate its speed but does not actually write anything. In addition your computer resets if you try to quit the demo. HIGH VIDELITY V1.5 by TRAST - The demo version of another resolution booster program which is similar in concept to ScreenBlaster and BlowUp030. The demo version supports resolutions of up to 832x608 depending on the capabilities of your monitor.

Separate versions for the ST and TT (or Falcon with FPU). SDUU by Guy Harrison - Simply drop and archive or uuencoded file onto this program and it will automatically work out whether or not it is already uuencoded and uu(de/en)code it as required. HTML HELP v1.1 by Matthias Japp - A useful utility to aid those developing Web pages. It lets you view the HTML source and change filenames and paths. You can also convert HTML into ASCII (removing tags automatically) and vice versa or convert control codes to/from Atari/Mac/PC standards. Page title, background colour, background image, text colour and colour for links can also be altered to suit. The Info option lists all links from the page and images attached to it. HTML HELP can also specify your desired Web browser and text editor allowing WYSIWYG display and full editing if required. This is not a Web page authoring tool like WebSpinner, it's more of a helping hand for those wishing to tinker with existing pages. Program in both English and German. Transp90 - download alternative fonts to your Epson, Star or Gemini printer. Spool - printer spooler. Two spell checkers - one has a comprehensive dictionary - both allow user to add to dictionary. Sticker - a German program which allows you to print a variety of stickers - could be used as a disk label printer. The following programs are written in Fast Basic but can be run using the runner program which is supplied. Label - a good label printer. Bills - keeps track of household expenditure. Database - a very good database program. Barchart - create pie charts and bar graphs easily. Angel Isle Address Book - very good, mouse controlled. Two printer controllers also from Angel Isle. Accounts - an accounts program which operates via printer rather than screen. 1ST VIEW - A viewer program for ASCII and 1st Word text files and IMG, XIMG, IFF and GEM picture files, as well as a player for sampled sound files. Picture files can be zoomed in our out or saved as XIMG and RSC files can be "walked through". You can have as many windows open as memory and your TOS version permits. DK LABEL V1.0 - This program reads the directory of a disk and creates a 3.5" label with all the directory information. There are lots of user options to let you customise the output. Mono only. ENVIRON - Allows you to set up the Desktop environment for use within shells. It can be particularly useful since it allows you to keep all your ACCs and RSC files wherever you like and avoids RSC files not being found and TOS defaulting to searching Drive C for them. Assembler source included. GEMINI GOES MAG!X v1.3 - Allows Gemini, the alternative Desktop program, to run under Multi-TOS, MAG!X and other multi-tasking operating systems. JC CALENDAR V0.5G - Displays and prints a calendar for any chosen year. You can use any 12 Degas high res pictures to incorporate into your calendar or use the ones provided. Supports printout to 9-pin, 24-pin and HP Laserjet printers. Lots of user definable options let you customise your calendar to your own taste. Mono only. MED BOT by Stectre - Installs an executable bootsector which forces your ST to boot up in med res instead of low. This forces your Auto folder programs to run in med res too. M LOAD v1.0 - Displays graphically the amount of processor time being used under Multi- TOS. High peaks on the graph indicate processor intensive activity. It does not break down which processes use whatever amount of processor time, it merely shows the overall load on the CPU. N DESKTOP V1.4 - Lets you change the fill pattern on the GEM Desktop. Falcon and TT compatible. REBOOT V1.2 - Waits a specified amount of time and then re-boots your ST to allow time for your hard drive to get up to speed. Also useful if you need to boot twice you access your hard drive. POOLSMASTER by David Jenkinson - Yet another brave attempt to outwit Littlewoods and Vernons! It keeps tabs of results as far back as you care to go and makes its predictions based on past performance. The longer you use it, the more accurate it gets. It also caters for Australian Pools and non-league teams. MENUSYS by David Jenkinson - A great utility which lets you format or copy disks (with greater capacity than the Desktop), list or print files in ASCII, binary, hex or decimal, change file attributes, view disk parameters, set the date and time and much more. OXYGENE - A short demo from the French crew Oxygene. The screen has the scroller, chip music and the sphere moving around the screen with its tail following it in a snake-like formation. The purpose of the demo is to show 21, 4-bitplane 32x32 sprites on screen at once and it works! PURE3 - A great little demo by Legacy. It features various vector objects, starfield effects and shapes created from dots. This demo looks like an early version of Legacy's offering in Froggies Over The Fence (DEM.4360C, DEM.4361C and DEM.4362C). SMELLS LIKE SCREEN SPIRIT by The Deviant Corporation - This demo has several effects which are displayed alongside a digitised rock soundtrack. The display returns to a graphic equaliser after each effect up the graphic equaliser is an odd one in that it does not consist of three moving bars. Instead it has lots of different coloured lines waving around in the centre of the screen. The effects include plasmas and gouraud shaded cubes. A very different (perhaps even unconventional) small demo which still manages to appeal. TCB Tracker modules and player program . Files are D_STAR JUSTLOVE RSI_RISE SISTERX2 TUERKES AXELF DNS DREAD1 POIPOI RVB_DEMO SAD SIGHTNOB WCOPPER4. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are MONST046 to MONST058 and MONST060. CENTI - A fast action Centipede clone for mono users. Closely follows the arcade version and has a great tune to go with it. DISCOVER by Jrgen Keitel - A minesweeper inspired game. Rather than clicking on squares to find out how many bombs are adjacent to them, you must instead roll a ball around the board to uncover the info. Yes, it's tricky! What makes things worse is the fact that each level can consist of more than one screen and areas of the level may be separated from the rest of the level by walls. You must uncover all unmined squares and then set the counter to the number of bombs on the level. If you are correct, you will be able to progress to the exit and onto the next level. An original adaptation of a well loved theme. This version only allows you to play a few of the thirty levels of the full game. DODGEM 2 by Thomas Eckhardt - You must steer your car around the track collecting the power pills but avoiding crashing into the other driver. The game's very fast and steering is not at all easy. Lose all your lives and the computer laughs at you! ST NEWS 5.1 (THE LAST ISSUE) - Finished on 12th of August 1989.

THE SID CHIP MUSIC COLLECTION #1 - A collection of 120 pieces written on the Commodore 64. You will need PlaySID on MUS.5875 in order to listen to the music on this disk. ENGLISH <==> GERMAN by Ralf Zimmerman - How would you like the power of a pocket translator on your Atari? OK, slight exaggeration but this package is the closest yet. It is supplied as ST-Guide (ST-Guide Lite included on disk) files which include several thousand English and German words. It is organised logically and offers translations in both directions. If you need to translate an entire ASCII text, Ruftrade (UTL.5003) will perform the task faster and save the result to disk. What this package does is let you look up individual words in either language and (unless you search the whole document) is much faster than using a pocket dictionary. It's slower than Ruftrade but much more accurate due to its larger vocabulary. I see it as an invaluable companion to Ruftrade for translating the words that package stumbles on. ENGLISH <==>GERMAN must have taken many months to compile and is an invaluable addition to everyone's collection. Needs 1Mb and a hard drive. STUDIO PHOTO PROFESSIONAL by Lexicor - The followup to the highly successful Studio Photo. This latest version imports over 20 file types, converts between RGB, CYM, CYMK and greyscale palettes. There's a host of drawing and retouching tools as well as very powerful filtering options. Images can be projected onto 3D shapes, specified colours can be protected from the various processes, colour separations can be viewed on screen and masking is now supported. Images may also be zoomed and tools can be used within zoom mode. Apart from save being disabled, most other functions are usable in this demo. Unfortunately the program is in French. Needs 1 Meg. EDHAK V3.0 from Douglas Communications - This useful tool is something of a hybrid! It is a text editor, a memory editor and a disk sector editor! Files and memory may be viewed and edited in HEX, Binary or Decimal. It also allows data to be sent via modem from within the program. EDHak runs as a PRG or ACC. This demo does not allow you to save data to files or to disk sectors. RD DEMO by Simon Gibbs - A file compression utility for hard drive use. It automatically compresses files when you save them and decompresses them when you run them. It's just a case of putting it in the Auto folder and forgetting about it! Similar in concept to HiSoft's DataLite. The demo does not actually compress files but a number of already compressed files are included to demonstrate how it works. TCB Tracker modules disk 20 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are RONKEN, ALPHA, LOOKARND, L_CHINA, MAGICWND, NIGHT, RENDEZV2, SLEEPWLK, TETRIS, WARMSTAR. EASY GO V1.3 - A program launcher. It requires nothing more than a few clicks of the mouse to set up. After that you simply select the program you want to run, from the menu. The demo is restricted to 10 menu items, the full version allows up to 65. MANULIZER v1.0 - Creates an A5 size manual with all the pages printed in the correct order for folding. Unfortunately it only works on an HP Laserjet. The demo is restricted but I can't say what it is since I don't have a Laserjet! THE RECIPE CONVERTER V1.2 - Converts recipe files from Assistant Chef, Meal Master, The Recipe Box, Q Book, Computer Chef and ASCII to output in The Recipe Book format. The demo is restricted to converting the first 22 recipes of the input file. TBXCAD - A two dimensional drafting package which allows an infinite drawing plane, a wide range of drawing primitives, exact specification of locations, multiple layers, scaling, dimensioning and much more. It can import AutoCAD DFX files and export GEM Metafiles. Fully supports extended resolutions if you have a TT. The demo has print and save disabled. Available from The ST Club in the UK. Cyber Paint animations . Autogyro and MV-Men. Needs 1 Meg. BIRDIE II by Zeal - Starts off with moving mandlebrots, spinning dots in ball/sphere shapes, very fast dot tunnels, real spinning star fields and lots of scrollers with greetings to all the STE's great coders. The demo has a catchy soundtrack which plays throughout. However, Birdie II does seem to end rather abruptly! Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. These animations were done on Aegis Animator on the Amiga . Micromagic - Four animated figures move across the screen followed by some wire framed animation. Truckin - An animated sequence of a truck loading/unloading various types of cars & moving around the screen. Needs 1 Meg on the STE. Two demos by Bob Chewter using Ani-ST. 2Lamps - Two lamps juggling a ball. Not the same as DEM.43C. Steelhit - A cartoon animation of a character called Steel, tackling a couple of crooks.

CALC PLOT - A good program for those conversant with advanced mathematics and the graphing of equations relative to a large number of functions. While a complete listing of functions is given, it is assumed that the user is conversant with their use. The listing of functions is very comprehensive and covers sin/cos/tan and extensions of 'degree' equations. The graphing rate is fast and results should be viewed in full screen. A HELP facility is built in, which lists the scope of the program. FAST SUMS - Another + - x / program which offers three levels of difficulty. The options given are 'Your Choice', 'Random Choice', 'Times Tables' and 'Schools Out'. The hardest level of difficulty is not exactly taxing. Colour only. GRAFPLOT - Part II of Evelyn Mills' graphics with mathematics. Colourful and interesting with a complete listing of the program to allow free use in basic programs if required. Colour only. MUMBO JUMBO - An anagram designer and solver. Up to 12 characters may be selected. Ask the computer to do it for you and then try to solve the anagram by typing in the word. This is really excellent entertainment due to the massive dictionary used. Change the number of words via mouse click and keyboard entry and let the computer insert the jumbled words. A quality 'thinking program'. Mono only, works fine with a mono emulator. S-FALC.5581 S-FALC.5582 GNU C/C V2.58 - A combined package which provides a complete working environment for developing GNU C GNU C and Objective C based applications. There is no need to use separate compilers it s all integrated with this package. Unlike previous versions this package is extensively documented in ASCII DVI MANpage and ST-Guide formats with comprehensive information on setting up the system and how to use it. In fact even the individual commands are all explained in the manual making it an excellent programmer s guide. GNU C/C is fully ANSI compatible and exists on almost every computer platform making the code easily portable from one machine to another. Although this package was originally designed for use from a CLI type interface a GEM based front end GNU-Shell v2.2 is now available and has been included with the package. This is a specially optimised 68030 version of GNU C/C for the Falcon and TT. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive full installation requires 12 Mb . Also it only runs under MiNT/Multi-TOS and requires the MiniFS file system to be installed and a Minix partition set up. 18 GDOS fonts (12 point) converted from Calamus . Both screen and printer fonts are included. These fonts are designed for use with a mono monitor and a 24 pin printer or the Canon Bubblejet. Fonts are CELTIC, CHANCERY, CHICAGO, CHROME, CORNET, CURSIVE CONDENSED, MS/CURSIVE, FLASH BOOK, GOUDY, HARLOE, LEDGER, GALLIA, OLD ENGLISH, REVUE, SAVINGS, SPOKANE, STUDY ~1989, WILD WEST.

FLY TO FLY by The Eagles - Another multipart demo. Like so many others, you have to go through each screen sequentially as there is no facility to skip past screens. Effects include dots in space which form into shapes, vectorballs creating yet more shapes, and keftales. There are also moving shaded lines and precalculated spinning shapes which have pictures of a face on their sides. The electronic microscope is a very clever screen where a molecular breakdown of an atom moves around the screen. Fly To Fly features lots of original graphics which include pictures of pigs dressed as ninjas, several pictures of women (fully clothed!) and other miscellaneous pictures. There is also a tune playing away in the background all the time. The credits wind up this demo proper but there's also a reset demo which contains the addresses of the coders. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 40 - Two fishy offerings created with Autodesk Animator on the PC. FISH2 - An amusing underwater cartoon with a cool dude in musical mood a swimming fish skeleton discreet oyster and a Sebastian the crab look-alike all going about their daily business not to mention the TRENDY yellow sorry green submarine Part 2 of this amazing tale on FALC.5145.

If an old program starts playing up and you have recently upgraded your TOS version, this program stands a good chance of getting it running again. THE ENHANCER V1.0 by The Behne Brothers - Extends the built-in VDI functions of TOS to support off-screen bitmaps and allow the use of the vq_scrninfo(), v_opnbm() and v_clsbm() functions. It also patches the Falcon's True Colour mode to make v_get_pixel() compatible with it. This patch is essential for the smooth running of many new programs if you do not have NVDI 2.5 or later installed. If you do, you don't need Enhancer as it's built into NVDI. Docs in German but we've done a RUF translation. CIVCHEAT V2.60 by Jeff Wisniewski - Increases your stash of cash to $30,000 in Microprose's game Civilisation by patching a saved game file. OPTRONIX MUSAK PLAYER v2 - Chip music, Quartet & Tracker file player from Optronix.

PULSER by David Fright - A drawing package with a difference. It allows you to create the illusion of movement by clever use of colour cycling. Although this in itself is not a new concept, what makes Pulser unique is that you can have colour cycling switched on whilst drawing and this applies not only to freehand drawing but to shapes as well. In addition, you can specify the direction and speed of the cycling. A number of standard tools such as freehand, circle, box, lines and rays are also included. Pulser allows you to load and save Degas images as well as its own format (which stores all the colour cycling info). Several example pictures are supplied on disk. ROTATION V1.0 by David Duberman - Allows you to draw squares or polygons and rotate them in any increment up to 180 degrees.

EASY TEXT PROFESSIONAL by zzSoft - This is the long awaited followup to Easy Text Plus. It is a highly proficient Desktop Publishing program which comes into the budget category on features alone. It is at least as proficient and easy to use as Timeworks but has several extra features normally found only in top of the range packages like Calamus. Easy Text Pro uses GDOS, so extra fonts are readily available both commercially and in the Public Domain. The demo is a complete implementation of the full package except that you can only print out a quarter of a page of work you've done yourself. The demo pages supplied can of course be printed out in their entirety. Needs at least 1 Meg and runs in colour or mono. DBE TRACKER v2.0 by STGhost of Sector 1 - A Shareware 32-track Soundtracker clone for the STE/TT/Falcon. It loads MOD S3M 669 MTM PMD3 DTM GTK XM and MGM module formats and samples in SPL and AVR formats WAV and DTM also supported in the full version . Quality depends on number of voices used so the fewer you use the better the quality although you can still achieve respectable results with more than the usual 4 voices. A useful feature is its ability to load Atomik Ice and Speed packed MODs as well as loading files directly from within LZH ZIP or ARJ archives. This demo is pre- release and has some features such as MIDI support and the sample editor missing. Obviously the demo does not save MODs although individual samples can be saved. Full version available from the author at VERY low cost. GENEVA V1.03 RELEASE 004 DEMO by Gribnif Software - At last we have a demo version of the Geneva multi-tasking OS. Although this version understandably has a number of limitations imposed on its use it does allow you to experiment with Geneva s multi-tasking capabilities within a real working environment. Unlike most product demos this one actually includes comprehensive instructions on how to get started. Well worth checking out if you re thinking of buying the full version. Geneva works best with a replacement Desktop such as NeoDesk 4 Ease or Thing on FALC.5169 . CLUB70 by Symphonics Division - Demo version of a patch editor and librarian for the Yamaha DTS70 drum trigger system. Club70 includes several features which assist the management editing and creative process of using the DTS70 for percussion as well as keyboards. It lets you edit two banks simultaneously and cut/copy/paste freely between them. In addition you have full control over Performance an Chain patches via mouse or keyboard and can trigger sequencers by automatically assigning chords to different pads. The demo is fully functional except that you cannot save banks transmit banks or print and a few other functions are disabled. Includes an extensive get you going guide on disk. MMPIDEMO by Lorien Dunn - Microtonal MIDI Performance Instrument It patches alternative tuning systems into MIDI. This is a demo version with no save but the manual extract on disk will get you started. If you want to read more about this subject try the extensive text file on MID.4217. FALC-O-PHON by Markus Schie er and Harald Binder - The software for a voicemail system of the same name from Germany. The full version integrates with a hardware unit to provide the ultimate answering machine. Complete with the full manual on disk. Looks very capable but both program and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation of the docs. Clip Art in PCX format .SIGNS FACES SYMBOLS GARFIELD FLAGS ANIMALS FLOWERS ARCHITECTURE as used by Pagestream 2.1. Over 730 files on this disk MEGA ISSUE 2 by Chris Swinson - A double-disk edition of this newcomer. This issues sees the introduction of a new shell program which works like the Falcon's Desktop! The displayer program is one of the best I've seen, very stylish and with graphic support too. Mega is a general interest mag, rather than an ST mag and, like issue 1, Mega 2 features lots of articles from the Internet, but rather than being just a "Net dump", there's some interesting stuff you'd probably never find elsewhere. Articles include a history of Atari from 1972 to 1996, news of a 24Mhz upgrade kit for the ST, background info and details of Chris's experiments with amplifiers, a "behind the scenes" on the new shell and masses of information on Star Wars. There's also a number of more obscure articles such as experiments into anti-gravity, dreams FAQ, a fool's guide to lucid dreams, bugging cars, ghost stories and more.... Dedicated sections of the mag cover such subjects as gardening, getting rich quick, UFOs, meditation, STOS, humour, science and much, much more. A diverse second issue. INVISIBLE by Aggression 2 - This demo was run up as an invitation to the Aggressive 2 party in December 1996. It starts off with some impressive pixel mutating effects based around a human eye then other images are introduced. This proceeds to the actual party invitation itself. So why is it called Invisible If you run it on a VGA monitor you only get the sound the demo itself is invisible PLASMA by Martin Steen - A simple yet effective plasma effect created in real-time using just a few kilobytes. There s a special optimised version for those of you who have a 68881/2 FPU which takes only about 10 of the time to calculate the plasma. RGB or VGA. EXTRACTE by EXA - Their entry to the Gigafun 96 demo competition. It s a short demo but features some excellent 3D objects with phong shading and double-buffered gourad shading calculated using the DSP. There s also a fly past over a landscape featuring the names of the top Falcon demo crews. Well worth a look. RGB ONLY won t run on 14 Mb machines. EYES EYES 2 - As you move you mouse two eyeballs follow the movements. Both versions are much the same except that they move in different ways. VGA ONLY. SILICON - Some small demos from the Siliconvention. 30L COKE - Random pattern generation in just 4K BUGBEAST - A torchlight effect on the TSCC logo. Impressive and under 4K too TSZ - A walk through a texture mapped 3D maze in under 4K. 6SIEVERT by TSCC - Solid 3D light sourced objects stereo sound an impressive logo and more in 96K. Yes it this possible this demo proves it GIVE_YB - A GIF image of two teddy bears. XDREAM - A MOD file and a rather odd one at that. These last two were presumably entries into the graphics and sound competitions. All the Siliconvention demos on this disk are RGB Only except for BUGBEAST which runs on RGB or VGA. INFO '92 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 26/1/92 to 8/2/92. THE SUPERCARD 3 BIBLE COLLECTION - This three disk set contains the complete texts of The Old Testament and The New Testament (King James V edition) as well as the unregistered version of the top selling card filing system Supercard 3.12 from B.Ware Software. Unlike other bible collections, this one has had every chapter and verse checked for accuracy and completeness. The database is huge (around 4.5 Megabytes) and must be decompressed onto 7 DS floppies or a hard drive. Users with plenty of memory can merge the data into two or three files to enable fast cross referencing throughout the bible. However, these merged files can only be saved with the registed version of Supercard 3 (10 from the author). Another program is provided to allow you to save out the text in 1st Word or ASCII formats although we're sure you'd rather use Supercard 3! This is an excellent compilation for clergymen, historians and scholars and demonstrates Supercard to its full potential. What's more, loading the largest data file from hard drive takes only a few seconds as do searches across the entire text! Demo of Arkey CAD - Allows you to save to disk but plot files cannot be created. Numerous CAD files supplied. Needs 1 Meg. Clip Art in GEM format . The subjects covered are many and varied and with 385 files on disk there s simply not enough space to list them THE BINARIS DEMO - A raytraced animation of the Binaris logo starts this one off. Press SPACE for an even better raytraced picture and SPACE again for the credits. As well as the raytraced animation and picture which are both very well done there is an excellent digitised stereo soundtrack which plays throughout. Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. DISCOVER - Very similar in concept to Minesweeper. Move your mine-sweeping ball around the screen (be careful, it bounces if you move to fast!). As you pass over squares the number of mines in adjacent squares will be displayed. Watch you don't step on a mine or you'll lose one of your three lives. Uncover all the mines and enter the number of mines at the top right. If correct, you progress to the next more challenging level. Each level is laid out differently from the last and some have hidden entrances leading to off-screen areas! Well over 20 levels to complete. Highly addictive. NANJING - A two dimensional game which uses differing sets of Chinese tiles. There are six different sets of tiles to choose from. You start off with six tiles placed randomly on a grid and your aim is to place as many of the remaining 66 tiles onto the grid as possible. There are of course rules as to which tiles are allowed to go where and strategic positioning of tiles yields a higher score. Translated into broken English, you will easily pick it up after a few games. INFERNO by Simon Brown - You are a devil trying to find your way through a labyrinth back to hell. Collect the diamonds as you go. Similar in concept to Boulderdash. RUNAWAY by Chris Skellern - Guide a drone spaceship through tunnels on the moon. The ship is out of control and cannot be slowed down! TABLIT II by Andy Osborne - Tablit II is a word game similar to Scrabble but using the domino way of placing tiles. Points are scored for the longest possible words. Up to six players can play together. Tablit II now allows you to load a 6000 word dictionary to which user words may be added. A dictionary editor is also on disk to help you edit your files. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. ICD Utils V4.5. An update on ICD's hard drive utilities on UTL.229. These utilities will only work with a drive which has an ICD Host Adaptor. This is the complete set of utilities with updated versions of Colboot, Copyfix, Hdutil, Icdboot, Icdfmt, Icdtime, Icdcheck, Makepark, Quantfix, Timeset and Whereis. Please note that this version does not support SASI controllers. Users who have this type of drive need the version on UTL.184. Cheat - cheat routines for Rogue, Roadwar 2000, Autodual, Phantasie I and Phantasie II. These will not run on TOS 1.4 or later. Delta Scan ST - Full instructions and a diagram showing you how to build an interface which plugs into the cartridge port and connects to the output of a receiver or tape tuned to a FAX station. Also on disk is the software needed to run your FAX machine. LHST - an article detailing the theory behind the compression techniques used in LHArc v1.13 (on UTL.280). Multisync - an article and schematic diagram detailing how to make the necessary cable, switchbox etc to connect an NEC multisync monitor to an ST. RGBtoCOM - an article on how to convert the ST's RGB signal to composite video. A picture of the schematic diagram is also on disk but it has been encoded. A knowledge of electronics is needed for the DIY projects on this disk. Cyber Paint animations . Three short 'films' by John Blakely - Assault and Battery, Bob-Blob and Raisins. Needs 1 Meg. ATARI SIRDS by Christian Perle - Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) are those 3D pictures that nobody can ever focus in on! This two disk set comprises of several GFA Basic programs which let you create your own from any standard uncompressed TGA image. The output files from POV Raytrace are ideal for the purpose and several example POV scripts are included along with a handful of pre-rendered images. Two versions of the program are included, one for making monochrome SIRDS, the other for creating True Colour ones. The colour program allows you to specify the number of colours to be used, but output is always in 24-bit True Colour, so you'll need to use GEM-View to reduce it to the number of colours you specified in the program. Similar to SIRDS are SIS (Single Image Stereograms where the dot patterns are fixed rather than random) and the author has included a program for making these too, as well as an example SIS image. This is an excellent package for anyone wanting to create their own stereograms. Needs GFA Basic v3.xx (not included) and 1 Mb (more for larger images). OZYMANDIAS SLIDESHOWS by POV - Two slideshows, each with numerous original pictures. A different MOD file plays alongside each slideshow. The pictures are a bit unusual and artistically very good. Worth a look. Needs 1 Meg. GNU TEXINFO v3.1 - A document system which allows you to produce both on-line information and printed output from a single source file. This allows you to create a manual complete with chapters, cross referencing, indexing etc, and an on-line menu driven manual which can be accessed from within your own programs. To use TexInfo, you require the TeX document processing and typsetting system on S-LAN.34 to S-LAN.39. Requires MINT or Multi-TOS. You'll probably need 4 Meg, to use TeXInfo properly. TeXInfo itself is on the first disk, with over 740K of docs on the second! STEN #13 Feb '93 - One of the most consistent magazines on the ST scene and almost certainly the most distinguished read of the disk magazine era. This instalment contains another great mixture of articles for everyone. Reviews include the Pagestream 2.2 upgrade, JC View, two All Format Computer Fair reports and book reviews of "Computers & Chaos" and the acclaimed "Computer Lib". There's articles about CD technology advancements, Goldfish breeding, a rewrite of the Exodus and views on running a PD library. Projects in this issue involve wiring up multi-sync monitors, photographing a TV/monitor screen and more about communications through the ST's cartridge and parallel ports. The Shareware topic continues, as does the STOS column, which concentrates on pull down menus. All the usual articles are here too. There's news, interviews, who the hell's and simply far too much more to list! PAINIUM DISASTER by Anvil Soft - A preview version of a forthcoming vertically scrolling shoot em up. You control a fighter plane and must blast your way through everything which gets in your way. These include other aircraft tanks helicopters ground to air missiles and more. There s various power-ups and bonuses to collect too.

TRAOU'N INT KET BET GRAET BEN BREMAN by Adrenaline - This, their biggest demo yet, is spread over two disks. The demo screens are displayed in the middle of the screen. The top and bottom borders are not used, but the right and left are. The introduction is straightforward enough but it gets better! Chip music is played throughout the entire demo. The screens follow one and other, so you have to watch them all and can't skip any you don't like. They do not contain any new breakthroughs, instead they have some of the best filled 3D vectors, wire frame graphics and rotating effects to be seen. The small balls also make their return as they move around the screen forming into different shapes. There are vector shapes moving around the screen and sometimes filling the screen. There are no real scrollers, instead there's a couple of screens of credits which form from dots merging together. There's also a selection of original drawn graphics spread across the two disks. One of the best effects is the dot pictures which transform from one to another by moving the dots in real time. Adrenaline's best yet! Needs 1 Meg. Clip Art in IMG format .

BUBBLE BOOK by Armin Hierstetter - An ACC mainly for the ST Book, but it will run on any other Atari machine. If you keep losing track of the mouse pointer, this will put a little flashing "I'm Here!" speech bubble at the pointer when you press the right button. Works in all standard resolutions, and probably all the TT and Falcon resolutions as well. Also handy if you use a large screen. CPX_BUILD - A programming utility to enable CPX modules to be created (relatively) painlessly. C source code included, and some sample CPXs. DCSEA v2.0 by Paul W Lee - Convert any archive in ARC, LZH, ZIP or ZOO into a self-extracting program.

TUW-TCP/IP by Peter Meyer - A network utility to enable your computer to become a part of any TCP/IP network as an independent host. Full docs and configuration instructions.

THE FLOPPYSHOP CPX COLLECTION #2 - The second disk of CPX files for Atari's extensible control panel (XCONTROL). There are a total of 30 different CPX's on disk and it should be noted that a handful of them are specific to certain versions of TOS or certain machines, although most work on any ST/E, TT or Falcon. A number of programs are in German but the use of most is obvious. Also, many of the docs appear to be missing. ASCIITAB V1.0 - A CPX which displays all 256 ASCII characters along with their decimal, hex, octal and binary equivalents. DESKPIC by Michael Zuhl - Yet another Auto program and CPX to install a Degas mono screen in the background of the Desktop. Mono only.

DIVERSES v1.12 by Michael Zuhl - Another multi-purpose CPX. It reads the time from your clock card if you have one and allows you to set up an alarm. It also converts printer codes into Epson compatible ones and lets you switch between 50hz and 60hz in colour. PING v1.01 by Michael Zuhl - A CPX which installs a sound sample of your choice (one is provided) to replace the system bell sound. DISK v1.02 by Michael Zuhl - A disk utility which allows you to set the step rate from drives A or B to 2, 3, 6 or 12 milliseconds and switch write verify on or off. You can also park the heads of your hard drive with it. IDT V1.0 - Installs the International Date & Time cookie in the Cookie Jar. The IDT cookie defaults to the international date and time convention relevant for your country as read from your TOS version. This CPX lets you change it to display the date and time according to your own preference and save these as default. BOOT INIT V1.1 - A CPX which allows you to alter various setting within the Falcon or TT's battery backed RAM. Use with caution.

All commands are documented in English but the doc file for the program itself is in German! DJ_500 V1.10 - Gives you control over many of the dip switch settings on a HP Deskjet 500 from software rather than having to alter the dip switches manually for different programs. You can set the font, type size, text scaling, paper size, margins, print quality and more. AHDI_CFG V1.0 - Allows you to change the sector size, block size and ASCSI and SCSI device numbers and such like to your own preferences by loading up and altering AHDI.PRG or SHDRIVER.SYS. DAS BOOT V1.00 - This CPX allows you to enable or disable ACCs and Auto folder programs, so that your set up will be changed as soon as you reboot. Much easier than manually renaming each file! CALC 1.0 - A handy calculator which allows you to work out squares and square roots along with the usual addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. It also has a memory and can convert between decimal, octal, binary and hex. KALENDAR v1.01 by Dietmar Rabich - A calendar which can display any month from January 1971 to January to 2038. If you have a battery backed clock or clock card fitted, it always defaults to displaying the current month. DIABLO V1.01 - A CPX which allows you to customise Atari's Diablo 630 emulator (not included) for their SLM804 or SLM605 laser printer. DIPS V1.0 - Allows you to alter the dip switch settings for your printer through software. I assume it is for Epson compatibles but there's no doc file so it's impossible to say for sure. HD&MEM FREE V1.2 by Ghostbyte - Displays two bar graphs, one showing the space used and space free (in megabytes) on your hard drive and the other showing the same for memory. Double click onto any displayed bar to get a read out of the exact figures relating to that partition (or your memory).

Although you cannot change the values, you can save preferred palettes and reload them at a later date in order to change your Desktop colours. It will automatically load up a palette named DEFAULT.PAL at boot up if it is located in your CPX directory. INVERT V1.0 by Jan Borchers - A game in which your aim is to turn all the squares black. It's not as easy as it sounds. KALENDAR V1.0 by Aller Heilegen - Another simple yet effective calendar program which displays any month from January 1980 to the year 3000 and beyond! It also displays the current month if you have a battery backed clock or clock card fitted. ZAHLEN KONVERTER V1.0 - A simple but efficient program which converts between decimal and hexadecimal. LADE FONT V1.2 - Allows you to load up a font created using the font editor FED and use it to replace the system font. LASER v1.0 - Gives you access to the features of the Atari SLM804 or SLM605 laser printer. I'm not exactly sure which functions it controls as there are no docs. CPX LINKER v1.0 by Richard Kurz - Allows you to edit the colour of the icon and text, change the CPX ID number, CPX version number, loading status (ram resident etc) and even edit the icon associated with the CPX. All your changes may be resaved into the CPX header. LOCK COMPUTER V1.0 - Forces the user to enter a password when booting before allowing access to the system.

DJ_ON V1.0 - Initialises an HP Deskjet if it is switched on after your Atari (otherwise you get a 'printer is not responding' message from some programs). TCACHE56 V1.02 - A configuration utility for the hard drive cache and password protection utility Tcache on UTL.3850. WIDERSTAND V1.0 - Calculates how much current various types of resistors can withstand. Unfortunately this one is in German and a bit difficult to understand.

The best Othello game available MIDI WIZ V1.0 by Heiko Hartmann - It s the old story of a peaceful kingdom governed by a wise king who dies without naming a successor. As a result his six sons get greedy and want the best parts of the kingdom for themselves. You play the part of one of the six sons preparing to battle it out with your brothers. Midi Wiz uses an overhead view like Nethack and Gauntlet and is a sort of trading/conquest game. You must increase your armed forces build fortifications and of course trade goods with others. The use of magic to invent things a bit like Dino Dudes but not so much fun create dragons elephants healing potions etc all adds to the appeal. As the name suggests Midi Wiz allows several computers to be linked together in a Midi network so that you can compete against others in real time. As the game runs on any Atari computer you could easily link up an ST TT and Falcon in a network. This unregistered version does not let you save your progress limits the size of the network to three computers and has a few more limitations. Register for the full version. FALCTRIS by Jimmy Swiggers - As the name suggests this is yet another Tetris clone. It doesn t go in for fancy rules or matching up blocks of the same colour or even random explosions What it does do is offer a damned fine good of Tetris. You get a brightly coloured raytraced background and the usual column filling up with blocks falling from above. The blocks themselves are also True Colour just to jazz things up and there s an amusing sample which plays when you lose a game. Falctris can be played at 10 different speed levels or you can increase the speed automatically for each new level. In addition the author has included some custom designed levels just to keep you on your toes. Well worth adding to that growing collection of Tetris games.

One of these is semi-transparent giving an excellent effect. Soundtrack plays throughout. RGB Only. PICTURES - The winning graphics from the competition. These consist of HEMO_BP.GIF PRINCEIN.PCS TRANZWES.PC1 WEICZOR.GIFALC. You will require an appropriate image viewer to see these. MUSIC - All music entries from Orneta 97 may be found on FALC.6146. CANARI by MJJ Productions - The winning demo in the Place To Be 5 demo competition. Starts off with a light-sourced background which resembles a sheet of copper. This has bumpmap generated images of the demo crew superimposed on it. Other effects include some plasmas a 3D spinning cube with the bump-mapped faces on it and a real-time morph of someone s face It s great to see some new effects creeping into demos.

Also on this disk you can find transcripts from on-line conferences discussing the Jaguar and the Falcon. There's also a collection of messages from Genie on Kodak Photo CD and Photo Show from It's All Relative. Well worth a read for the serious Atari User. The JMP 1990 Collection . Seventeen small but impressive (well, most of them are!) demos created by JMP in 1990. Although these are separate demos, pressing Space will return you to the Desktop to load the next one. FANTASY - An impressive collection of GIF pictures. Files are CAPTIVE DRAAKJE1 FEE GANDALF HAJIME55 SIRENE. Viewer supplied. Adult Only. Some of these pictures need 4 Meg. 4 YEARS - This module has six units therein and the state of play is just right for 4 year olds. 'Colour' provides simple pictures which are coloured via mouse selection from a simple palette. 'Mirror' should entertain the kids by simple reflection of everything drawn either horizontally or vertically. Nitpick' displays an array of two similar looking letters. You must click on each instance of the specified letter. Although the lower levels are suited to a young child, the higher ones are difficult even for adults! 'Tile one' is simply a case of filling in a grid with coloured tiles. 'Tile 2' lets you draw in colour in the left hand square and watch it being reflected in the right hand square. 'Typewriter program' is a lot of fun for the young. A keyboard is shown with one coloured letter which must be typed in. As the process continues, the words to 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' are built up and part of the tune is played each time a verse is completed. PLAY MATH by B-Ware - An educational platforms and ladders game which offers standard addition, subtraction etc; with a more unusual presentation. A 'creature' has to be guided through different mazes to land on the correct number sequence required for easy, medium and difficult questions.

Can be used with Pagestream or Didot Professional. Fonts are ALBATROS, CALIGULA, CRILLEE, DAVYDING, EIRE, GRAPHICL, GREENCAP, MANZANIT, MIAMINIT, NORDIC, PARISMET, PIXIEFON, PRIME, ROOSTHEA, ROOSTHEA. WHITE SPIRIT by Adrenaline - A three disk musical extravaganza by Adrenaline. The introduction is an excellent scrolling city landscape with a row of trees which scroll in front of the city. There are then several screens of original hand drawn graphics which introduce the demo. Once the introduction (which uses up the whole of disk one!) ends, the main menu is loaded. White Spirit contains twelve tunes which are spread over the other two disks. Use the arrow keys to scroll through the tune titles, and press INSERT to load your chosen tune. A short text description is displayed for each tune. Unfortunately this, like all other text in the demo, is in French. Whilst the tunes are played, there is either an animated Adrenaline band displayed or a piano. Pressing the SPACEBAR toggles between the band and the selection screen. TRUE TYPE FONTS for use with SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 . Fonts are AARDVRKB, AKKA, ALEX-FRA, ALGER, ALGERIA, ANDES, ANDESB, ANDROMED, ANSON, ANTIQUEB, ANTIQUEN, ANTQUA, ANTQUAB, ANTQUABI, ANTQUAI, ARABIAN, ARABIAN-.

This one features five original MOD files played from an impressive main menu. The MODs are excellent in quality each being around 500K in size They range from 4 to 16 channels and are classics in their own right. The menu features a plasma generated tunnel effect and you can control the colour speed direction and rotation of the tunnel. You can also change the volume of the music colour of the text messages and background colour on the DHS logo MODs are FORBID FREQUENT SUMMER SWEET and XANTHOU. Needs 4Mb and a hard drive. EXHAUST DEMO by Accs and The End - This is a multi part demo was coded at the Logissonne Party in 1993. It features several screens all of which follow on from each other. Effects include shaded bobs and a 3D world where everything is constructed from wireframe graphics which spin and move around the screen. The vektorball makes a return, this time bouncing up and down on a square and then on a patterned floor. There are also snakes formed from 400 moving dots and light sourced logos which change as a small sun moves over them. In another rather different screen, the Accs logo changes into the title "Exhaust" by transfer dots from the bottom of the screen to the top. There are no scrollers in this demo which is a nice surprise. There are however, a couple of screens at the end which tell you who did what and other little bits of gossip. STE ONLY. POWER #17 - The second Shareware issue of this monthly diskmag. Another disk full of goodies for you. Lots more articles, features, adverts, information, regular columns and competitions to be won. All the regular slots continue and there's more humourous files, jokes and stories. There's plenty of PD included on the disk and reviews of STOS Graphic Adventure Creator, ATARI Entertainment (a new paper based magazine) as well as previews on forthcoming games releases on the PD/Shareware/licenceware market. Plenty to keep you busy until the next issue. Registration is highly recommended for this magazine. ARDVARK - A rather odd program which swaps over the currently displayed screen for a previously saved screengrab. Run Ardvark, then press F1, you instantly think your computer is displaying a different directory and the mouse pointer has frozen! Low res only, change the supplied PI1 to suit. CD LIB V1 by Olivier Azeau - When used in conjunction with MetaDOS or ExtenDOS it allows you to play audio CDs on your CD-ROM drive (do remember you'll need to use headphones or you won't hear anything!). Type Help to get a list of commands. The program looks a bit basic at first sight but includes C source and libraries so that you can include it functions in your own programs. CODX by Philippe Galmel - Password protect any file with your name and chosen code. The file then appears garbled to anyone trying to read (or run) it. Rerun this program and enter the correct code to restore it to its original state. INSTALL V1.0 by Funship - Allows programmers to supply their software in a user friendly manner. Install is set up to prompt for each disk appropriately in the case of multiple disk installations. It can also install the various components to different locations on your hard drive as required. It can also uninstall programs. Very easy to set up and use with English, French and German RSCs. All docs in English. SHUTDOWN V1.5 by Alexander Barton - A replacement Shutdown program for MagiC, MagiC PC and MagiCMac. It is configurable from an INF file and allows you to perform a warm or cold reset of MagiC or a complete shutdown. The shutdown process can be interrupted and you can specify how individual programs are shut down (i.e. whether you are prompted to save data or not). DOMAGIC by Alexander Barton - When used in conjunction with Shutdown, it lets you restart MagiC from TOS without having to reboot. DO SHUTDOWN by Alexander Barton - An ACC which activates a Shutdown from MagiC. It automatically shuts down the system from the ACC menu without having to return to the Desktop and select Quit from the File menu. G-TOOL TRANSLATION PATCH by Jared Addington - Patches the German package Graftool so as to translate the text within the program into English. This patch only works with the versions dated 04.02.96 and 01.01.97 and should not be used with any other versions. We've tried it and it works perfectly! THE SYNERGY DEMO by Synergy Developments - The introduction looks like an acid demo with some very strange music and words/graphics being displayed on the screen at speed. Once it has finished, the main menu is loaded. This is rather different as it is a large six sided cube which moves when you press the cursor keys. Each side represents a demo screen. The first is a introduction to the coders and their hobbies/likes/dislikes. This is presented in very slick manner with lots of buttons to click onto, and text to read. Other sides include a tracker music player, a credits screen with a difference (as it's a demo itself) and a game called Crapman (which this game is not!). It is a pacman clone which is fast and has very good graphics. Regrettably, you have to reset the machine to exit it! The last two sides of the cube contain two demos which have the usual graphic and sound effects like scrollers and a space tunnels made from dots. Overall it's not a bad demo from one off the lesser kown coding groups and it has a game and tracker player thrown in too. POWER Issue 25 - This Shareware disk magazine is now a bi-monthly production and has at least 800K of text files in its 64 articles. It brings you part 4 of the STOS tutorial, a preview of Grafix and interviews with Keefy (Editor of WARP diskzine), Bob Goodfellow (STOSSER Editor), Jamie Blakeney (Golden Dawn Editor). There's news of a new diskmag called B.O.S. and information on forthcoming Top Byte Software releases, Fruit Machine Fun and Starioland. There's an article on upgrading your ST and how to do it properly,and the start of a new series titled 'Long Live the ST'. The Jag section has a list of best selling titles and several other features including 'All You Have Ever Wanted To Know About The Jaguar', 'The Jag CD Debut' and 'The Jaguar and VR'. The regular slots continue with PD Informer, Talking Point, Letters, The Messenger, Satellite News, Chit Chat, Competitions, Adverts and more cheats and solutions. ARROW 24 V1.1 - An excellent GEM based modelling and raytacing package. It allows you to create your own 3D models on screen then turn them into 24- bit True Colour ray tracings. Arrow 24 comes complete with a number of 3D wireframe models and completed raytracings on disk. A separate version is supplied for users with a maths coprocessor. Documentation is extensive but both the program and docs are in German. Would anyone like to translate Needs at least 1 Meg. Hard drive recommended but not essential. D-GRAPH V0.1 by Dune - An early version of a new art package from this well known demo crew. It loads and saves pictures in PI1 NEO CA1 GIF TGA TIFF DOO and BMP formats. It has only a limited number of drawing tools at present and some are not fully operational or are buggy. RGB ONLY.

FLI-TC v4.7 - An FLI animation player which runs in True Colour. MPEGPLAY v2.0 - Plays MPEG movie files on your Falcon. MPEG is a similar compression method to JPEG except that it is used for moving pictures. You can store an entire film on CD using MPEG compression. This player is ported from NEXT and is very slow playing back at about 1 frame per second and it plays the animation only not the sound. TGA VIEW V2.0 by Graeme Urquhart - After installing you can double-click TGA pictures to display them. It supports most of the common sizes of TGA and they can be packed too. However they must be in 24-bit format. Works on both RGB and VGA monitors. Turtle v3.2 - The latest version of this hard disk backup utility. Terrapin - also for hard drive owners, this program is designed for saving and restoring files which exceed the size of a floppy disk. Tramdisk - A ramdisk specifically designed for use with the above programs. It will however function as a normal ramdisk although the hard drive backup programs cannot be used with any other ramdisk. TTL Exec - Also for hard disk backup. Also on this disk is a mono only Study program which is designed to be used as an aid to exam revision. Autocopy - Copies specified files onto a ramdisk on boot up. CB -Takes a C source code and reformats it to your specifications. Chkprint -prints out cheques for you. Prints out amount as dollars. Source code inGFA Basic is included so it should be easy to convert to print pounds. DCTransfer - a comms file transfer utility. This is a demo version and will only send a file. Registered users get the full version which allows you to receive files as well. Disk Doubler - allows you to put two single sided disks onto one double sided. Unfortunately it is for archival purposes only. The disk will appear single sided and must be restored to a normal single sided disk before use. Diskmod - modifies a double sided ST disk to allow it to be read under MS DOS. The disk can still be read on an ST after conversion. DLII - A powerful disk editor. Allows you to edit disk sectors, alter boot sector, check for lost and cross-linked clusters, change file attributes, edit hard disk boot sector and check FATs.

INFO '89 text files from Usenet - Covers period from 7th Dec 1989 to 22nd Dec 1989. ARPEGGIATOR v1.11d by Electronic Cow - A 2 channel, 8 note MIDI arpeggiator. Notes can be entered via MIDI or using the on-screen keyboard. Tempo, pan, fade and other parameters can be set and played back via tape deck style controls i.e. forwards, backwards, random or 'ping-pong'. This demo version is restricted to 4 notes and, although you can save as an ARP file, you need to register to save as a MID file. 17 example ARP files are supplied. GM70VS - 128 Roland GM-70 patches by Sorcerer Sound Productions, plus Genpatch by John Eidsvoog (demo version) for loading patches. MIDI MONITOR V0.84 by Electronic Cow - Analyses incoming MIDI data by 15 different criteria on 16 channels. Runs as an ACC so that you can monitor MIDI activity from within any GEM based sequencer. RUMBLE v1.0 by Naturesoft - Demo version of an editor/librarian for the Novation Bass Station keyboard. The demo restricts changes to the edit buffer only i.e. you can't save your work. There are several other restrictions which are removed when you register. Mono only. ST to MIDI CONVERTER PLUS by Andrew Gower - Converts chip music from games into 3-channel MIDI output. Obviously you need a MIDI synth or sound module. Not all games work - the success rate is approximately 70% but even so this is quite remarkable and possibly unique. This latest version supports drum emulation, is compatible with more games and uses less memory. It also includes a patch which lets you use it with some programs which run from the bootsector. TWANG v1.0 by Naturesoft - Demo version of an editor/librarian for the Roland GR-09 Guitar Synthesiser. The demo restricts changes to the edit buffer only i.e. you can't save your work. There are several other restrictions which are removed when you register. Mono only. WIBBLY WAVE v0.4 by Electronic Cow - An easy to use sample synthesiser which allows you to generate 8-bit AVR samples from 4 DCO waveforms and 3 DCA envelopes, and finally control the frequency (pitch) and modulation ("wibbling"). There is no play facility within the program so samples have to be saved and loaded into your own sample player or editor. MOUSE MUSIC by Sorcerer Sound Productions - Generates random music from your MIDI synth when you move your mouse. SIRCWARE SAMPLE LIBRARY - A collection of 91 sound samples for use with sound tracker programs to produce your own MOD files. CAB 2 DEMO by Application Systems Heidelberg - The standard Atari WWW browser just got better. Version 2 and above are no longer Freeware but available at low cost from System Solutions. This latest version supports the use of frames and forms has a revamped interface and is near enough completely HTML 3 compliant. Supplied with English German French Italian and Swedish RSCs and docs in German Italian Spanish Swedish and Croatian. Operates identically to v1.5 FALC.5420 so the English docs from that version can be used. This version is fully functional except that BubbleGEM help is disabled as is the Hotlist and there s a 30 second delay when starting and quitting the program . If you want to use it on-line you ll need to install CAB.OVL on FALC.5420 and either STiK on FALC.5420 or STiNG on this disk . KA9Q HELP - A collection of Help files explaining every command supported by KA9Q as used in AtariNOS and Oasis 1.35. I m sure they can be configured to be called up from within NOS but can t quite work out how An invaluable source of documentation on NOS commands regardless. STING V1.15 by Peter Rottengatter - A major new package which completely replaces the STiK component of the WWW Access Pack. It features an improved completely rewritten version of STiK incorporating new features developed by many different authors over the past couple of years. In addition to linking CAB Antmail MGFTP FracIRC Newsie and the likes to the Internet STiNG ST Internet Next Generation offers more. It supports SLIP and CSLIP connection to the Net with PPP under development. Standard serial communication is handled as is communication over the Midi and Parallel currently in development ports. Ethernet several commercial and DIY Ethernet cards are available in Germany and LAN are also under development. Once in place these features will allow STiNG to work as a simple to use system for networking between Atari computers as well as connecting your machine to the Internet. The package includes several CPX modules allowing for easy configuration on the fly as well as a programmers development kit and a fair amount of well written docs. STiNG is modular and expected to evolve into a major package in its own right. Although it is not finished the Internet connectivity is. Highly recommended. SUDDEN VIEW - A totally different text editor. No real printer support so not really a word processor, but it has an intuitive interface like nothing else on the ST (or any other machine). Buy this disk for the experience! DBACKUP - Backs up a hard disk to a 2nd hard disk, exchangeable or big (eg; 10MB) floppy. Optionally calls up a compression utility in flight. FLIP - Converts ASCII files between DOS (&ST) format and Unix format, i.e. sorts out end of line characters. KDP65 - Configuration utility for Kwik Disk (not included). MEM - Lets you mix 1MB and 256KB SIMMs on the STe, giving 2.5MB. RESET - An STe compatible warm/cold reset utility. STBLANK - Screen saver with optional 'starflight' effect. Runs on all ST/STe resolutions. T-CODE-Y - Encrypt/decrypt text files. T-LABEL-Y - Maintains and prints lists of labels. T-SPELL-Y - Spell checker. T-VIDEO-Y - Manages your video library eg; catalogues titles, records time remaining on tape etc. ANDROMEDA - You have volunteered to rid your galaxy of invading space pirates and so, piloting your fighter Andromeda, you must blow away the enemy and collect power-ups as you try to complete this vertical scrolling shoot-em-up. This Shareware game is joystick controlled and the action takes place over 8 levels. SWEEPER By 4HJ - You must use logic and luck to diffuse mines hidden in a minefield. Unlike other games of this type, you play on 3 grids simultaneously, to create a 3-D effect. Clicking on squares reveals the number of mines on the surrounding squares, including those above and below! A very challenging game. TI-RA-WO-MH by Rolf Tieman - An educational program, similar to hangman but without the gallows. The game contains of lots of lists of words and an editor can be used to enter your own selections. A dual language game which can be played in English or German. WALTZ - A bat and ball type game in a similar vein to Arkanoid. There are lots of falling objects to collect, some improve your performance, others impede it. There's three skill levels and an odd extra feature called 'English' which makes the ball follow the speed and direction of the bat! Countless levels of play with sampled sound, stereo if you have an STE. HDD_DMN by MC Soft - Yet another attempt to connect an Atari to a PC using the parallel port, but this one is very different. As well as allowing file transfers to and from the PC (can't transfer to the PC unless your PC has a bi-directional parallel port), it also lets you run DOS programs on an ST, gives access to networked drives and supports all PC models from the '286 upwards. PC drives are seen as Atari drives and you can load or save data directly to/from them as if they were connected to your Atari. Both Atari and PC software is included on the disk along with details of how to make up the required lead to connect the two machines. If you already use Parallel Copy (UTL.5571) or Paralink 2000 (UTL.6185), the lead from that can be used. Although not lightning fast, transfer speeds are up to 20 times that which can be achieved using a null modem cable. Registered users can print directly to the PC's printer and automatically synchronise their clock to the PCs! BAR V0.02 by Peter Rottengatter - A button bar for use with Multi-TOS, Geneva or Magic. It displays a row of program names horizontally. Just press the appropriate button to launch that program. Sounds a bit basic, but it's really quite neat. It's a bit like the Windows 95 task bar, except that its the programs of your choice which are listed, not active running tasks. You can set the font, font size, font colour, text to be displayed and even pass parameters to the program. Obviously you must first set up the INF file to indicate which program names are to be included and of course specify the path to the appropriate programs. VFAT by Petr Stehlik - Allows you to copy files with long filenames from Windows 95 hard drive partitions to Minix partitions. Its primary use would be to transfer files from a removable media cartridge to your Minix partition. You would of course need to have BIGDOS or HD Driver 7 installed in your system in order to read the PC formatted cartridge in the first place. VFAT_UTI by Petr Stehlik -Displays a directory listing of the contents of a Windows 95 floppy disk or hard drive cartridge, showing the long filenames correctly. SOFT MULTI-RESOLUTION V2 by Jens Heitmann - A colour emulator for use on monochrome monitors. It lets you display medium and low resolutions on a high res monitor. Needless to say, the colours are represented as varying dither patterns and there is a slowdown with some games. However, this is an ideal solution if you own a mono monitor but have a small number of colour programs. Please note, it will not work with commercial games which execute directly from the bootsector. THE ATARI EXHIBITION - This is one of the best Atari sites on the Internet. It was unforgivable that those you who are not on- line should miss out on it! The Atari Exhibition is something of a collector's item for Atari enthusiasts everywhere and charts Atari's history from its foundation by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 to the merger with JTS Corporation in 1996. There background information and photographs of almost every computer manufactured by Atari from Pong the rough the 8-bit machines to the ST, TT, Falcon and eventually the Jaguar. Even the MicroBox, proposed successor to the Falcon, gets a showing. The launch of the ST at CES is covered and there's photographs of the Tramiels, Nolan Bushnell and other "celebrities". Although the site is heavily graphical in its nature, there's masses to read and it really gives an insight into the rise and fall of Atari Corporation. There's also plenty of live links to other Atari related sites on the Net. Please note, some images may require 2Mb or more, otherwise they will appear blank. In order to use this disk, you will require a Web browser such as CAB (on DMG.5556). OVERSCAN INVADERS by Jan Dean - It's the old favourite of space invaders but given an up to date treatment in this new version. Control is by keyboard and those descending aliens come fast and furious. Have you got the speed of reaction and accuracy of shot needed to stop them before they reach the bottom of the screen? In this version the aliens are bigger and more colourful but are just as menacing. The notes accompanying the game boast that the program incorporates 4 channel digital sound and 32 colour graphics! Certainly Space Invaders as you have never seen them before. This disk is a former BUDGIE UK title. THE ULTIMATE ARENA by STeam - An impressive karate game featuring digitised stills of every possible move so that it's a bit like taking part in a film! Gameplay is really tough, making it a real challenge rather than just a game with great graphics. This Shareware version is fully playable but restricted to three rounds with one of two opponents at a single location. The full version features seven different opponents, different scenic locations, a two player mode and much more. STE ONLY. SB-PROLOG v3.1 from University of Arizona - A full Prolog language and compiler ported from Unix. It performs at about 5100 LIPS (logical inferences per second) on the ST and needs at least 1MB of RAM, preferably more. Includes source and a user guide (in nroff format), but a beginner would need more info. FROGGER by Dave Munsie - Arcade Dave resurrects this old favourite where you must cross a busy road and negotiate a river in order to reach safety on the other side. Includes a few new hazards but is otherwise a faithful conversion of the original. TOY MAN V1.0 by PeyloW of T.O.Y.S. - A very small under 10K yet playable version of PacMan for the Falcon. It features a large playing area with lots of ghosts and the usual power pills. There s even multiple levels Pity the ghosts aren t very intelligent Great fun. RGB ONLY. ADDER by Quasar - This snake game was obviously the inspiration between The Resevoir Gods Sworm FALC.6024 . It also features numbers to collect and several levels of play. A great soundtrack and various samples throughout make this an excellent game. Not as well presented or with so many options as the RG version but equally addictive. DONKEY ISLAND PREVIEW by Ed Cleveland - An early preview of what could easily become the biggest game release of the year It is a graphic adventure but don t let that put you off this one puts the Sierra On-Line games into the wastepaper basket You control an extremely well drawn cartoon character called Fred and must guide him around his house and beyond into the streets of his locality in search of the lost computer game Donkey Island. Everything about this game shines. You just can t fail to get addicted to it This is an early version so don t expect too much. Having said that you ll be impressed I am TIC-TAC-TOE v1.01 by Matthew Bacon - Cadenza Software have done it again. This excellent noughts and crosses game is impressive in presentation multi-tasking friendly and lets you play against a friend or the computer a worthy opponent . Perhaps the best game of noughts and crosses you ll ever play SOKOBAN ICE by Johan Sprang - A re-write of the old classic puzzle type game where you have to push blocks around the screen and avoid boxing yourself in. In this version you play a hippie ghost who is frantically trying to disguise all his CND signs by hiding them behind stones in advance of an inspection by the local ghost licensing agency Graphics are superb hiding the game s 8-bit roots whilst maintaining the addictive playability of the original. 45 levels are supplied along with easy instructions on how to create your own. DUBLXMAS by The Resevoir Gods - An additional Double Bobble FALC.5306 adventure. It gives you 12 levels of seasonal platforms and ladders action with your favourite heroes Dub and Dob. Please note that this additional adventure only works with the registered version of Double Bobble so get registering KAKANOID by G Roy - An Arkanoid clone with all the usual bonuses and different types of bats to collect. It s just the usual scenario where you must bounce the ball around and destroy all the coloured blocks in order to progress to the next level some blocks requiring more hits than others. Kakanoid has 15 levels and you choose which level you wish to start with. MIDI MUSIC FILES - A collection of classical pieces. Files are 4LUTE_PR, AIR-G-ST, ALBINONI, ANDANTE, BADINER1, BADINER2, BALLET, REEDPIPE, RONDO, RONDOTUR, SAB_DANC, SHEEPMSG, SONATA, BOLERO, BRANDEN , BRANDEN2, BRANDEN3, BUMBLEBE.

DBA MAGAZINE 11 - Yet another impressive offering from the Disk Busters Association. This issue contains over 60 articles and five soundtracks for you to listen to as you read them. The main menu is pretty dull and boring but it gets better Click onto the article of your choice and a really impressive document displayer pops up.

There s also a PC buyers guide a visit to ST News headquarters with four accompanying real time articles and much much more.... Well worth a read. HISTART and PUBLIC PAINTER - Two mono art packages both with a few interesting added features and a few usual ones not implemented. Well worth a look. S-FALC.4509 S-FALC.4510 S-FALC.4511 PHOTO SHOW DEMO - An impressive demo of a Photo Show by It s All Relative. This program is designed to display Kodak Photo CD images and combine them with digitised sound for presentation purposes. The demo includes 4 script files with scenes from St Louis USA. The demo cannot read Photo CD drives or images but the high quality of the photographs being shown is unbelievable. This 4 disk set requires a hard drive with at least 10 megabytes of space. Needs 4 Meg. DDST - A Dungeons & Dragons type graphic adventure set in the Land of Eridor. LOST TREASURE - The object of the game is to recover treasure from the Pirates which has been scattered throughout their dungeons. SOLO - A 20 level vertical shoot 'em up by N Tierney. This is his first PD game and is excellent. Solo autoboots. You must start up with a blank in Drive A to load the others. This disk will not run on TOS 1.6 or later. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are CAROLINE, KEFTUNE1, NIGHTFAL, NONAME, ZYCHO. ST REPORT Issues 748-750 and 801-804 - An on-line magazine from The States. Covers the period 6th December 1991 to 24th January 1992. CORNER SHOP VIDEO V1.95 - A custom designed database which is aimed at the small video library. It lets you enter details of all films in stock as well as full customer details. It alerts you if a film is overdue and you can list all films which are currently out, overdue and due back today. RUNES by Paul Vincent - This one is beyond me I'm afraid. It looks similar to fortune telling where rune stones are selected randomly and interpreted in an effort to solve everyday problems. A fuller version with more features, printer support and a printed manual is available directly from the author. VIDEO MANAGER V4 - A customised database for keeping track of what's on your video tapes. Each file holds details on up to 15 different tapes and you can use multiple files. It asks for the length and counter position for each programme on the tape. The space remaining on the tape can be displayed as a pie chart and you can search through the database for programme name. CSV and RUNES are colour only. Video Manager runs in colour or mono. CD ROM.XFS - Another CD ROM driver for use under Multi-TOS. It has the advantage that both Hisierra and ISO9660 devices use the same Drive letter thus avoiding the need to change Drive when you swap from one format of disk to another. MEMORY2.SYS - A version of MEMORY.SYS which has been bug fixed and improved for compatibility with SpeedoGDOS. FASTBOOT V10.10 by Tommy Jonaeson - Installs an executable bootsector on a floppy which bypasses TOS s obligatory check for an internal IDE hard drive. Invaluable for speeding up boot time if you use an external rather than internal hard drive. NEWSPEED II - Allows you to slow down your computer to several preset speeds. Useful for slowing down fast action arcade games or for those with learning difficulties. PANTHER - Probably one of the most useful utilities in years. It intercepts TOS and redirects file accesses. In simple terms it allows you to put all your ACCs or RSCs into folders nested as deeply as you like and load them up as if the ACCs were in the root directory of the boot drive and RSCs were in the same directory as associated PRGs. It also supports the use of file aliases but if you don t understand that you ll still appreciate its use for cleaning up your root directory. ZORG V2.08 by Ludovic Rousseau - A Shareware disk sector editor which is GEM based and allows multiple files to be edited simultaneously in different windows. As well as allowing you to edit disk sectors it can also optimise hard drive partitions. Extended file systems such as Minix or Mac partitions are not supported but you can access individual files on them if the appropriate driver has been loaded prior to ZORG. Some of ZORG s features are quite advanced and include the ability to change a directory or FAT entry directly. The ability to check the file structure for any given disk or hard drive partition and repair it if necessary is undoubtedly one of this product s major selling points. On-line help is available by way of ST Guide not included help files. New 68030 version. Probably the best disk editing tool available. SUPERBOOT V8.1 - An update on the popular ST bootup configuration program which now runs on the Falcon. This Shareware boot manager lets you choose which accessories auto folder programs assign.sys files for GDOS etc. You can have up to 152 files of each type and select from up to 19 diffrent DESKTOP.INF files You can even play samples in mono or stereo while you boot up and the program can be called from a CLI perform warm or cold boots and lots more Well documented and complete with several support files. TEXEL v1.0 by Thomas Much - An impressive GEM based spreadsheet which draws its inspiration from Microsoft's Excel on the PC and Mac. In fact it's so similar, you can easily forget you're using Texel on your Atari! Texel lets you import and export files in Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, LDW Power, DIF and ASCII formats (some are disabled in this demo) and a few others as well as having its own file format. It takes full advantage of (Speedo)GDOS, NVDI and multi-tasking systems where appropriate and has a full set of tools which offer identical functionality to Excel. Coloured text, coloured boxes and multiple fonts and varying point sizes are all supported by Texel, making it the most versatile tool of its kind. If you want to use a top of the range modern spreadsheet on your Atari, Texel is your only choice. This demo (and accompanying docs) is entirely in German but an English version of the full version is available from System Solutions in the UK. The Clipboard is disabled as are all Save functions, everything else appears to be fully functional. Needs 1 Mb. DMA MAG #5 (May '92) by The Disk Busters Association . There's yet another new shell program. The last one was good but this one's better! This is the first issue to come on two disks. The first contains the magazine intro, 4 demos, the magazine program and countless utilities including The Megatiser, a great MOD and music player, a mono emulator, a ramdisk, a bootsector writer and some Mega STE stuff. The text files are on the second disk. Articles cover piracy on the ST, musicians on the ST, computer stories, a F.O.D. Party real time article and computer languages. The hardware reviews are of the Mega STE, Falcon and Brain Wave Lab! All the usuals like the Hi-Fi section, CD & Video reviews, jokes, GFA, STOS and Assembler articles, demo crew news, pop news, poems and so on are there as usual. There's much more but we've run out of space! Once again there's too much bad language so be warned. Needs 1 Meg. ATARI EXPLORER ON-LINE - Three issues (9505, 9506, 9507) of this popular diskzine from the States, featuring all the latest news, reviews and games releases. Here's a quick run down. JULY - What we can expect to see from Atari this autumn, the new Jag mailing list, development list and press releases from Atari. There's a preview of flipout (a Jaguar puzzler with an alien twist), a review of Speed Of Light v3.8, developing news, a CD font manager, C-LAB Falcons through Toad and reviews of JetSpeed and OutBurst plus much much more! AUGUST - This issue looks at the first impressions of the Jag CD and it's built-in light synth, a Jaguar gamers' guide contest and a look at Mutant Penguins, White Men Can't Jump and Super BurnOut. Introduce your Atari computer to HTML browsing and there's a list of nodes and file echoes from the Atari Nets. There's also the usual listings of the latest PD and Shareware for your Atari. SEPTEMBER - The latest in on-line Jaguar news, coverage from the ECTS in London and 20 new Jaguar titles tested. Flashback is reviewed and there's a guided tour of the newest products for the Atari, plus developing news, and Swaps and Meets in From a Saved Backup. A COLLECTION OF MISCELLANEOUS PICTURES in JPEG format. - Files are ROO_SIGN SANFRAN1 STORMY SUNRISE F ALCON30 RALLYCAR APPLE3 YACHT PROVOST AUTUMN CANDY MER CLOWNS COCKPIT D15 DATTMCNE DISKDRIV FRUIT GOOFYSKY GRANITE GRYHANDS HAGAR BOAT2 BUILDIN1 ALLOSR BEASLY CRETAC DIPLOD POW003 COMPETIT COOL. THE ULTIMATE FONT COLLECTION by The Megabusters and Titanium - A collection of 121 of the most commonly used multi-coloured fonts from ST demo scrolltexts. The quality of artwork is unbelievable. The viewer program allows you to load and view any font on disk. A separate program allows the font of your choice to be saved out as a Degas PI1 file. Had these fonts not been so well compacted they would have taken up almost 4 Megabytes of disk space! If you write games or demos you can't afford to be without this one. BERMUDA RACE II - The objective of the game is to sail from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda in the least amount of time. Various sea- going obstacles may be encountered. The player reaching Bermuda in the shortest time wins the race. Documentation is on disk and should be read before playing. Colour or mono. JOKES - This is probably the most comprehensive collection of jokes available. Almost every subject is covered and you're guaranteed to split your sides laughing. 26 Calamus Fonts . Fonts are A_LOGO, CHANCERY, CLIPART, CORUNET, DANDY, DANDY COND ITALIC, DANDY ITALIC, DANDY COND ITALIC, DENVER, FRAKTUR, SAVINGS, SEG BOLD, SEG ITALIC, SEG BOLD ITALIC, SNUF COND, SWISS 100 BRT, SWISS 100 COND, SWISS 100 ITALIC COND, SWISS 25 BRT, SWISS 25 COND, SWISS 25 ITALIC COND, SWISS 50 BRT, SWISS 50 COND, SWISS 50 ITALIC COND AND TRILINE. PALETTE MASTER - A colour art package. Can display all 512 colours simultaneously within limits. Can easily show 50 colours or more on screen. Is compatible with Neo and Degas but is in many ways superior to them. There is one irritating bug. The application reads free disk space on bootup and will only save as many picture files as there is room for. Changing the disk doesn't help either. The solution is to move _Palart.prg, _Paldata.Dat and _Palhbl.Use to a blank disk then boot up. This will allow 8 or 9 pictures per disk to be saved. This program is close to the excellence of Quantum Paint. ART UTILITIES - 3 versions of DR DOODLE, 2 versions of FAT, NEOCHROME v0.5 - An early art package from Atari, 2 versions of WIND (nasty!). NOT STE. DESIGN - A med res CAD type design package. EMPEROR V1.03b by Jochen Debus - A strategy game for 1 to 4 players. Your aim to to produce sufficient consumer goods and military hardware to keep the population happy and expand your territory by means of conquest. This Shareware version restricts you to 100 moves, the registered version removes this limitation. Any number of players can be human or computer controlled and there's support for playing the game by modem over the phone lines. Program in English but docs in German although we've done a RUF translation. Colour or Mono, Needs 1 Mb. BATTLEZONE by Andrew Gower - Just when you thought original games were a thing of the past... A turns based strategy game in which you control and army of earthworms! You can play against a friend or take on the might of your ST. The objective is simple, to use the vast array of weapons at your disposal to eliminate your opponent. Play a single round or a knockout tournament, it's up to you. Weapons include bazookas, cluster bombs and air strikes. Worms have the ability to tunnel, punch each other and teleport to different parts of the game world. Lots of crazy teams to choose from or you can make up your own. Hit and opponent and he'll even shout back at you! A highly challenging (and amusing!) game. Needs 1 Mb. DPaint ST - A usable demo of the art program from Electronic Arts. MANIX - The demo of the game from Millenium. Playable on level one only. GRAVON by Suma - A very playable demo of this virtual reality battle hovercraft simulator. Fly around an undulating landscape with realistic houses trees mountains and lakes. The scenery is made up of countless light sourced polygons which change colour to reflect time of day and prevailing weather conditions. You can turn around 360 degrees in nine steps viewing what s going on behind you or to the sides. Sit back and watch a rolling demo or take the controls yourself It s a bit strange to control until you get used to it but it s worth the effort. Full details on how to fly the craft are included on disk. Other features include original soundtrack realistic 3D surround stereo effects artificial intelligence for the enemy and much more. The nearest you ll get to virtual reality without a headset The demo allows you to take part in a single mission. The full version has many more missions played over four different planets. Control by joystick joypad or mouse. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. CRYSTAL CAVERNS by Robin Edwards - Explore the caves and find three crystals. You must pass ghosts and other such unsavoury creatures on your quest. You can also use various spells which you learn within the game. Truly outstanding, one of the best Budgie games ever! BLOCK PUZZLE - also by Robin Edwards. Load in any Degas or Neo low res picture, jumble it up and reconstruct the original. MR DIG by Robin Edwards - Guide Mr Dig through the tunnels and dig new ones to collect the cherries. Avoid the baddies and crush them under the apples. Collect crystals for bonus points and use smart bombs when the going get tough. Numerous levels. Based on the 8 bit classic. TANK BATTLE - Two player game where two tanks fire shells at each other, sometimes bouncing them off the walls. A remake of a VCS classic. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. KBAGS - The source code for a Prolog knowledge based adventure game system. It accompanies a series of articles in The ST Club Newsletter on programming in PROLOG. MODED - Program (and C source) to invoke an editor of your choice from within a Modula 2 environment. MODULA 2 - Example modules to switch between user and supervisor mode and to handle TRAPs. NROFF v1.10 - ST version (C source and compiled) of Unix derived text formatting utility. Complete with full documentation (in nroff format, naturally!). PML-SQRT - An improved version of the square root function for the GNU C floating point library. RSC-CONVERT - Converts resource files (in .RSH format as created by DRI RCS only, I believe) to Turbo C source format for inclusion in C programs. MATHEMATICS by ETC Software, New Zealand - This program is aimed at 10 year olds and handles a variety of subjects via menu selection. The emphasis is mostly on areas and volumes of geometric shapes (circles, cones, squares and cubes) but the Imperial & Metric systems are discussed and there's a quick look at multiplication. Proportion and ratio is also covered. The text would be rather difficult for a 10 year old to follow so we suggest that it is more suited to an older child or a 10 year old with adult help. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are FLOWER01 to FLOWER32. HOWARD'S BRAIN TEASERS VOL 2 - Three more puzzle type games from Howard Clarke. As usual, all three employ the use of original ideas. 100 4 1 There's 100 squares on the rid and you have to place numbered counters onto it. The rules are simple, all counters must be placed next to existing counters, two counters of the same value cannot be adjacent to each other and two counters of the same colour may not be adjacent. Just to liven things up, there are multiply squares. Try to achieve the highest scores by strategic placement on multipliers and you'll snooker yourself for clearing all the counters. At the end of the game, the values of all unplaced counters are deducted from your score. CROSLIDE - Once again played on a 10x10 grid. You must hop around the 11 squares in numerical order. The rules are simple, you must go round the numbers in sequence, avoid falling off the edge of the board and avoid the holes left behind by previously cleared squares. Simple? Not when the board randomly moves in a different direction at the end of each move! Several levels to complete. RESTART - A matching pairs type game. If you match two blue numbers you get the score, match two reds and your opponent gets it. You have 30 numbers to find in the grid but not all numbers are present. The game continues through multiple levels until one player has found all 30 of his numbers. Adds that extra challenge to a traditional matching pairs game. Several skill levels and your opponent can be human or computer controlled. THE WALTER SCOTT COLLECTION - IVANHOE, CHRONICLES OF THE CANNONGATE (originally published as volumes 41 and 48 of The Waverley Novels) and KEEPSAKE STORIES by Sir Walter Scott. Three complete out of copyright works by this famous author. Please note that Ivanhoe is split between two disks and Chronicles of The Cannongate is split between two disks (due to limitations of space) so you will require all three disks. CLIP ART THEATRE in IMG format .

VISUAL ASSEMBLER V4.1 by Gen Wax - An Assembler library for use with HiSoft s Devpac 3. It helps you create programs using enhanced windows in much the same manner as the Enhanced GEM and BIG two C libraries but in assembler. Your programs have the modern look of GEM and the code generated is pretty compact too. Visual Assembler is fully compatible with TOS Geneva and MagiC. Documentation is entirely in French although an English manual is available to registered users. Several example programs complete with source code are supplied to demonstrate the use of the library. Please note that there is no executable PRG this is not a replacement to Devpac 3 it s an enhancement to it. If you don t already own Devpac 3 this disk is of no use to you. KM TERM V1.92 - A VT52/ANSI terminal which provides most of the power of Freeze Dried Terminal combined with the simplicity of DTerm. It features auto logons, autodialing, call costing for BT & Mercury, direct support for XYZ and Jekyll (bi-modem) protocols and comprehensive on-line help. As well as being an excellent comms package, KM Term's host mode allows user to user connection with the functionality of a basic BBS, without any special setup. Top class Shareware, very highly recommended. SHORT DEMOS - A compilation of 8 short demos. All are of a good standard and many were from demo competitions. FUNTRO 1 by FUN - A small demo made for the Dusseldorf Messe 1996. It displays the FUN logo splitting up the RGB planes and shows a well drawn cartoon. Music plays throughout. FUN XMAS - A Christmas scene and seasonal message from FUN. Leave it running long enough and everything will get covered in blue snowflakes JAMHOUSE by Unit 17 - An originally composed 8 channel 25Khz house mix using Copson Data s replay routines from Sweden. Graphics are nothing spectacular a logo and pulsating colours is all you get but this is one of the better acid house type demos around. It needs to be run from ST low res. LED DEMO by Goof Fox - One of the demos at the SILIconvention was created on one of those LED scrolling displays rather than on a computer. They build the LED display and wrote the demo along with other coders. Obviously the real demo can t be shown on a computer so they did this computer version of it Runs in 640x200 mode in 16 colours best viewed from a distance. Unique if nothing else MAIRIE CHRISTMAS by Scarface - Another Christmas 96 demo. This one features gouraud shading texture mapping plasma effects excellent graphics and an impressive soundtrack. A classic as shortros go NOT SO FUN - Fun s 96K intro at the SILIconvention. The FUN logo bounces around a patterned screen and various other 3D objects make an appearance. Music plays throughout. 4KTRO by OTM of FUN - True Colour patterned effects calculated in real time followed by a wibbly wobbly scroll. Amazing what you can do in just over 2K P2B5 - An invitation to the Place To Be 5 demo coding party. Features a number of 3D light sourced objects apples dogs cow toaster etc rotating and scaling in real time. There is of course all the information about the demo party too. Great music plays throughout. Rather too good for a party invitation NOTE - FUN XMAS JAM HOUSE and P2B5 run on VGA or RGB. The others are RGB only. SDURL by Swampdog - Extracts all URL and other user-definable links from a text file or html and outputs them to an html ready for use in CAB. More links can be added to the html file at any time as your original file will not be over-written merely merged with the new data and re-sorted alphabetically. CORETOOLS by Peter Rottengatter - A collection of five small programs for use with Peter s STiNG Internet connection package. PING - Lets you bounce a signal to any IP address and wait for it to come back. Its main use is to check connectivity. It lets you confirm if the selected host machine is connected and running if so it reports how long a message takes to reach it and return to your machine. SAVE_IP - Nowadays most ISPs assign your IP address dynamically i.e. you get a different address randomly allocated each time you log on. This program saves that address in a log file. If running a SLIP connection and your computer crashes reset the computer without switching off the modem then use the saved IP address to resume your on-line session without having to redial. Invaluable if your ISPs lines are busy and difficult to connect to. TRACEROUTE - When messages are sent over the Net they hop from one machine to the next until the destination machine is reached. This program reports back the IP numbers of all machines you message has passed through on route to its destination. SYSINFO - Gives detailed information such as version number error stats compile date and much more for STiNG and all currently loaded modules. Invaluable when trying to debug crashes and such like. SHUTDOWN - In some cases especially when using older comms software STiNG causes the system to crash when you reset the computer. This program removes STiNG from all system vectors and the Cookie Jar so as to fix the problem. Can be run from the Desktop. If running MagiC simply put it into the STOP directory to have it run each time you shut down Magic. DIP EDIT V0.6 by Dan Ackerman - Lets you create dial up scripts for your ISP. Essentially what it does is take you through a nice friendly question and answer session dressed up in a GEM interface where it ensures you enter the data given to you by your ISP into the correct places in your dial up script. DIP EDIT is intended for use setting up MiNTNet S-COM.5829 S- COM.5830 though the scripts it creates could easily be adapted for use with STiK and other packages. A useful tool for beginners struggling to get onto the Net. HOMEPAGE PENGUIN PRO V2.08 by Matthias Jaap - This program is one of the most well designed and useful I ve seen in a long time. It s a followup to Homepage Penguin on COM.5899. No longer Shareware this is a demo version of a commercial release. HPP Pro lets you create rather astounding Web pages without the need to see a single HTML command. It sounds rather far fetched but it s true. Like its predecessor it lets you turn ASCII text and an image of your choice into a nicely presented page but that s where the similarity ends. This version can be run in colour as well as mono supports background images multiple frames sound different fonts text alignment two column text simple selection of text/background colours re-sizing of images and lots more. It even supports a number of features not currently handled by today s Atari Web browsers Other features include real-time previews within CAB and support for plug-ins. If you want to learn HTML you can optionally have HPP Pro insert comments into your file explaining the use of the commands Docs in ST-Guide UTL.5557 format. This demo version has the Navigator gives you almost complete freedom in the design of your page OLGA support BubbleGEM support and lots of other advanced features disabled. This version does let you save your pages and is therefore a great tool for experimentation. When you get the urge to do more the full version can be purchased from FaST Club in the UK. FIRENEWS V0.76 by Christian Andersson - Another news reader program designed to take the pain out of ploughing through all those Usenet newsgroups. It works with STiK or STiNG and provides a slick modern GEM interface. Firenews is under constant development not all functions are completed in this version along with its companion program Babel. Almost everything in Firenews is user configurable making it one of the best news readers around. Several features which are already completed are disabled in this version. These will be enabled when you register and registration is free Firenews also interfaces with AntMail or Newsie to handle your email providing a total solution for email and newsgroup access. THIRD DIMENSION Issue 5 September 94 - It's back yet again with lots more 3D Construction Kit News, Help, Advice, Routines, Objects etc. This disk magazine is multi-format and is compatible with ATARI, AMIGA and PC and it is an absolute must for all users of both kit 1 & 2 users. This issue has kit 1 datafiles of a public house, one for beginners and more borders. There's also a shield/life instrument demo and a fading door routine for kit 2 users. It has tutorials, sample sounds, a backround music player, another spoof script from Star Trek and a list of games that are Falcon compatible using the FALC BOOT, BACKWARD and BACKWARD 2, plus many more items if interest. This diskmag gets better by the issue and if you are a kit user then you would be well advised to order up a copy. S3-ST V2.30 by Keith Baines - Lets you transfer files between an Atari computer and a Psion Series 3 or 3A personal organiser. As well as being able to copy files between the two machines, you can view files on either machine using your Atari screen, print files from either machine to a printer connected to the Atari and delete files or create folders on either machine. This software provides a graphical interface similar to the GEM Desktop from which you carry out all operations. Another program allows you to use your Psion databases directly on the ST or export data to the GEM Clipboard for import into your word processor. This package includes all the software and documentation you need to get the two computers 'talking' to each other. All you will need to buy is the Psion 3-Link (PC version) to physically connect the machines. RESISTOR by Denis Brookes - Helps you determine the resistance and percentage tolerance of any resistor by entering the appropriate colours onto the diagram on screen. Invaluable for anyone working with electronic components. Colour only. THING BACKGROUND COLLECTION - A collection of almost 50 colour IMGs designed to be used with the Thing replacement Desktop on UTL.5102. They replace the plain Desktop with a nice graphic screen, usually made up of lots of small tiles which blend together seamlessly. These Desktop backdrops (as they are called) can of course be used with other Desktop replacements such as NeoDesk and Ease or with the GEM Desktop using Deskpic on UTL.4370. LASERS AND MEN v2.0 by Arnaud Linz - A Wolfstein 3D type combat game running in True Colour. You are in a dingy dark 3D maze and are constantly being shot at by soldiers. The browns fight the blues. You are one of the browns and must erradicate all the blues to proceed to the next level. However you ll lose points if you shoot friend instead of foe As well as opening doors exploring each level collecting objects and destroying the enemy you can talk to other characters walk through certain walls and generally get up to a whole lot of mischief A heavy metal soundtrack which ignores the volume setting for the internal speaker plays throughout. Development on this Shareware version now complete but it contains just two levels register for another 19 levels. Control is by using the mouse joystick or cursor keys and SPACE opens the doors. Needs 4 Meg. RGB or VGA but graphics are better on RGB. DARKNESS IS FOREVER by Simon Brown - This is a mainly text adventure with occasional graphics if in high res. Will run in med res but without the graphics. AIR WARRIOR v2.0e - A PD flight simulator program. It can be played over a modem or by one player on their own monitor. You can only enter combat mode if you are using a modem. Originally designed for the Genie BBS in the States, this is an excellent program. It should be noted that some features are disabled if you are not accessing Genie. While not up to the standard of Flight Simulator II, you can visit many locations throughout the world. Well documented and highly recommended. HOTWHEELS - A fast action car racing game by John Gymer. You take the wheel of a Ferrari 348 and try to complete the course as quickly as possible. Options include one or two player mode and the chance to practise. Also included in the program is a track editor which is sure to extend the life of the game. MADNESS - A fun game for budding newspaper tycoons. This very simple simulation could possibly be suitable for young children. The user chooses from a number of pre-set sentences in order to produce an edition of the Daily Stun. A game for two players, as they compete against each other to produce the funniest headlines. QUEBOID by Paul Dolphin - You must avoid numerous hazards and collect keys as you try to get to the lift to move from one level to the next using either the joystick or the cursor keys. You also have the option of leaving primed bombs in order to deflect your enemy. A fun game with plenty to keep you occupied. SEA WOLF by Dave Munsie - Another shoot 'em up from the Arcade King. You must destroy a variety of ships and aircraft in order to amass an impressive score before excessive damage to your ship ends the game. Graphics not up to Dave's usual standard but gameplay is fast and compelling. ASTEROIDS - A mono version of the Arcade classic by Andrew Coates. Shoot everything that moves and avoid bumping into anything! Many levels of play. MINESWEEPER - Another Minesweeper clone which is very similar to BOMBS on GAM.3519M. Once again you uncover the squares and avoid the bombs. The number revealed by a square indicates the number of mines adjacent to it. Grid sizes can be anything from 10x5 to whatever your screen will handle. Fully supports overscan, virtual screens and large screen monitors. A different implementation from Bombs. Which one do you prefer? BOUNCING BOUBLES - Shoot down all the bouncing balls to move onto the next level. As you progress, you get aliens which shoot back, spaceships and more. Forty levels in all. CROSSTWORD PRO - A well presented, easy to use crossword puzzle creator. Puzzles can be saved to disk and played on screen at a later date. FIND 50 - Differently shaped blocks are presented on screen. Each one has a different number from 1 to 50. When the timer starts you must click each number in sequence, trying to get all 50 before your time runs out. It's not as easy as it sounds! JEOPARDY - A board game based on an American game show of the same name. It follows very similar lines to Trivial Pursuit. The difference appears to be that you get the question and have to supply the answers. This is a game for several players and really needs an MC to keep a check on things as the questions are not stored within the program but are on disk as an ASCII file for the MC's reference. A full explanation of the rules is given. BREAK IT - A Chinese puzzle game with 10 levels of difficulty. It's not the same as the Drachen type games. This one is played on a much smaller two dimensional board and tiles must lie at 90 degrees to each other before you can remove them. A real brain teaser. 3D LABYRINTH - Create a maze of any size from 3x3 to 55x30 and try to escape from it. The program generates a random maze and you can go it alone or use some of the aids provided to find an escape route. Great fun. PUSH BOX - Guide the storeman around pushing boxes as he goes, in an attempt to get all the boxes into the store room. However, you must work out which boxes to move and where to move them to or you will be unable to complete the level. A great logic puzzle with several levels. POVSTUFF VOLUME 1 - A collection of 25 very high quality raytracing scripts for you to render yourself using POV Raytrace v2 (ART.4514, ART.4515 & ART.4516). These have been collected from a number of sources and cover a wide variety of subject matter. Scenes are BUG4, CAM1, COBRA, DISP2, DISPLAY, EN, ENTERPR2, ENTERPRS, FILM, FLAME, GAP1, H2O, HAVESEAT, LIONFISH, NIGHTSKY, OBJ1, OBJ3, ONGARD, PAWN, PICFRAME, SHNY_POV, SWORD, WINDOW, WORLD2, XWING. Most can be rendered on a 1 Mb machine but some will need more, one in particular requires 4 Mb! Please note that these disks are of no use to you unless you already have a copy of POV Raytrace v2. Requires a hard drive. GIF PICTURES - A collection of miscellaneous high quality images in GIF format. - Files are BOATS BRIDGE FROSTY GOLDGATE HNYPOS JUPITER WILD4 WILD5. Viewer program supplied. DOGFIGHT - Four planes battle it out for supremacy of the skies. Each plane can be controlled either by a human player or by the computer. TOS 1.2 only. MOSAIC - A puzzle game played with a set of 2 by 2 tiles on a 24 by 24 playing area. The object of the game is to place tiles in such a way that squares of the same colour are connected. SLUG - A Shareware game by Mark Terry. Baby slugs have been kidnapped and are being held within a fortress. You must rescue them and cause as much damage as possible to the complex. SMASHHIT - A tennis game by Peter Zetterberg. Choose the level of difficulty and the number of sets, then compete against the computer using the joystick for control. The game defaults to 60HZ, but a few clicks of the fire button takes you to the game menu where you can swap to 50hz. The best tennis game yet! VIRTUE - An arcade game with a trading element. Your mission is to rescue the crew of Star Base 5. To do this requires a mixture of shoot 'em up skills combined with the buying of energy and laser fire, which are traded for points. Soundtracker files with player program . MODs are BLOOOD FM_PART1 PIRACY SHORTLOD WONDER ZOOPHYTE CHARTMIX SHORT BESTSID DEADLOCK DRAGNET NIGHT UNTOUCH. HERO 2 by Tony Greenwood - The followup to the classic game on GAM.5279C. Like the original, HERO 2 is a platformer in which you must rescue a number of individuals from a sealed complex which is on a self-destruct mechanism. The storyline is different but the aim is the same. You must navigate the various levels without the aid of a map or on-board computer. Looked doors will block your passage, some need to be blown up, others opened by a security key. You must enter rooms and collect objects in an attempt to find a radiation suit, locate a survivor and give him the suit. You must then exit the level and progress to the next. There are various hazards to avoid, such as dripping acid and unfriendly droids amongst other things. The first level is really just a trainer, after that it really gets tough! HERO 2 is jam packed with sampled music (impresive if you've got stereo speakers), sampled speech and jazzed up graphics, resulting in a major improvement over the already popular HERO 1. Needs 4 Mb, STE or Falcon only. CHACONA by The Slaytanic Cult - An original TCB Tracker MOD file with on screen controls over left and right channels, treble, bass and volume. Play around with it for some interesting effects. If that's not enough, you get a scrolltext too! GOGGDEMO by Unit 17 - A collection of 4 MOD files selectable from the function keys. The screen is overscanned in all directions with raster bars, a bouncing logo and a scrolltext which is also mirrored in the bottom border. The screen display plays up on some monitors and is stable on others. However, the sound quality is great at 25khz in stereo. GOGGDEMO needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. Tease Me - Humorous cartoon done using Ani-ST on UTL.181C. Showing two young ladies taking their clothes off. Needs 1 Meg. PERSISTENCE OF VISION RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally arrived on the Atari thanks to Doug Little's porting of the PC sources. This latest version is downwardly compatible with POV 2.2 but with dozens of new features and bug fixes. Amongst the new features is the ability to render a screen preview when running on a Falcon. Another major improvement is the incorporation of the faster routines from FTPOV. Like v2.2, this version features hundreds of scenes for you to render yourself, all grouped according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual's huge, running to over 800K and is very well written, starting out with an easy to understand introduction to ray tracing, then moving progressively to the more advanced stuff. It also includes several detailed tutorials, all aimed at different ability levels. All support files for these tutorials are also included in the package. In addition there are a few Atari specific files detailing the Atari specific features of POV 3. You can run POV 3 from a CLI or from Dirk Klemmt's POVShell which has been included for your convenience. We have also included Dirk Klemmt's POV Tools which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file. There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones and spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects. Please note that this package does not include the source code. There's over 6 Mb of data crammed onto these disks! Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive (if you don't have a hard drive, we recommend the POV 2 package on ART.4514, ART.4515 & ART.4516). This is the 68000 (i.e. ST) and 68000 + FPU (an optional extra in the Mega ST/Mega STE) version. Versions for 68030/040 processors are also available (in the Falcon catalogue). The So Watt Demo by The Care Bears. Consists of 17 sub-demos. Contributions from the top demo writers. Select your choice of demo using the cursor keys and press SPACE to enter/exit demos. MISCELLANEOUS TEXT FILES - Another of those disks crammed full of interesting bits and pieces. There's a selection of excellent science fiction stories written by Ian Clarke, an explanation of the differences between the TOS revisions available for ST/MEGA/STE/MEGA STE/TT machines, instructions for modifying a Microsoft mouse (bus version only) to work with Atari computers and some interesting information on the Jaguar 2 which COULD be available in 1996. Also there's a list of Jaguar games codes and cheats and an article on how to connect a high density PC disk drive to the ST. There's some info on E.M.U. (European MIDI User), a new user group aimed at musicians, and finally, MUNSIE NOW VOL 1, ISSUE 1. This is a disk mag written by 'arcade' Dave Munsie with lots of information on the latest atari releases, hints and codes for Frantick, Asteroidia and Squareoff, and a look at future developments, Munsie on the WWW plus much more.

All in all an excellent magazine and not to be missed. ZIP DRIVE FAQ - A collection of frequently asked questions about Iomega's ZIP drives. These are SCSI based removable hard drives. What makes them unique is that the drives cost about £175 and the disks (which hold about 100Mb of data) only cost about £10 each! DBA Mag 8 - This issue contains a massive 134 articles and 8 great pictures. It's a two disk set and both disks are required. Features include a report on Epileptic attacks in Japan, how to make money from Shareware, more on piracy, a look at the BBC2 TV program Cyberzone, a good article on drawing fonts, news about small computers/hand helds which play havoc with aeroplanes, and much more.

Programmers will love this issue, too. There's removing borders in STOS, playing soundtracker modules in GFA Basic, writing a scroller in GFA, and a detailed break down of the Falcon030 hardware registers. A selection of PD and Shareware on disk completes the mag. The DBA magazine simply must contain something for you! DRAW V0.2á by Eero Tamminen - A monochrome drawing program which supports the loading and saving of IMG, PI3, PC3, DOO and BLK files and uses GDOS fonts if GDOS is loaded. It has all the usual tools like box, line, circle, polygon, fill, text, spray and zoom as well as a few new ones. Mosaic can produce interesting effects! The bezier curve tool is particularly well implemented. A nice easy to use program, pity it wasn't a bit better documented. Larger than screen-size images are supported when using a virtual screen driver such as Big Screen for TOS v1.0 and 1.2 (included on disk) or MonSTEr for TOS v1.4 upwards (on UTL.317). LASER DESIGN PRO V1.0 by Sacha Roth - A powerful offering from Germany. Supports PIC, DOO, PI3, PAC, IFF and other file formats. As well as all the usual drawing tools, LD Pro supports rotating, outlining and cleaning up of images. It has an extensive range of blocks tools which support lightening and darkening, mirroring, outlining, resizing, distorting, bending and so forth. Text is supported by way of Signum fonts and numerous attributes may be applied to these. Printing is supported to most types of mono printers. LD Pro is well worth adding to your collection. Translated by Tony Kaye. LOOKER by Frederick Hawkins - Described as an image processing program, it is primarily concerned with the conversion of colour images to monochrome or greys by use of dithering and half-toning, both of which allow extensive user control over their parameters. You can lighten or darken a picture, negate it or access the colour values to alter the converted image. Looker loads PI1, PI3 and DTH formats and saves as PI3 and DTH. Looker is well documented but entirely command driven, therefore not really user friendly. POLYSTAR by David Fright - Originally designed to create multi-pointed stars for DTP work, Polystar has evolved into a drawing program in its own right. It offers such unusual tools as star, petals and spiral as well as implementing many of the usual ones. Polystar is a fun program to use, offering several new features over those expected from this type of package. It loads and saves Degas format pictures. ROTATION V1.0 by David Duberman - Allows you to draw squares or polygons and rotate them in any increment up to 180 degrees. It was designed to get around the fixed 90 degree rotations offered by many object oriented drawing packages. Rotation loads and saves Degas format images. CALC 3D - An accessory to convert Calamus fonts into a form suitable for use with CAD3D. CALC CYBER - This accessory converts Calamus fonts for use with CyberSculpt. MORPH - Yes morphing on the ST is possible! This is an interesting program which is capable of mapping points on one image onto another. Load up the two supplied pictures (or use your own) and select how many in between frames are to be generated. The in between frames showing the first picture gradually transforming into the second, are saved to disk. These may then be combined into an animation using Cyber Paint or Animtool on ART.72. XPX CONV - Converts XPM (X PixMap) files from Windows on the PC, into NEO files and vice versa. RSFLIP11 - This is a real oddity! It is a computer version of the flip books you used to get as a child. A flip book animation is produced on a 40 x 40 grid with faclities for inverting, rotating moving and copying. A sample demo is supplied on disk. RSHADE30 - A raytracing program which is similar in concept to POV Raytrace, QRT Raytrace and DKB Raytrace. It reads a multiline ASCII file describing the scene to be rendered and produces a 'UTAH RASTER' image. The primitives are box, cone, cylinder etc. The program handles 24 bit colour but like other similar offerings, a scene takes hours to render. PIXPRO II - Allows you to make colour adjustments to medium res scans (as created by some hand scanners) so as to adjust the contrast, making them suitable for use as clip art. THE SHROPSHIRE COLLECTION - A selection of high quality GDOS fonts. These are supplied in 8, 10, 12 and 14 point and can be used in medium or high resolution. They are suitable for output to 24-pin, bubblejet and laser printers and come with instructions on installation for Timewowks Publisher and Publisher 2, although they may be used with other applications. Most of the fonts are compressed and must be decompressed using GFU, which is supplied on disk. Fonts are ATHENS, LUBALIN GRAPH, UNIVERSITY ROMAN, CHICAGO, EUROSTYLE, FUTURA, OLYMPIA. ?PIXELS by Phil Young - Four machine code file with assembler source. Their purpose is to pixelate the screen quickly. They are intended to be loaded into a STOS memory bank and called from there. CONV3 - A STOS ACB which allows source files which use extensions to work if the extension is installed under a different letter. ELF HELP - Creates English Help files for Pure C. Needs TOS 1.4 or later and 2 Mb. ELF HELP 2 - An upgrade to ELF HELP which needs to be applied after the initial installation. FLDLIB V0.93 by Martin Maisey - A library for use with Lattice C which allows you to use floating dialogs (dialogs contained within windows) in your own programs. MAKE CPX V1.02 by Noud van Kruysbergen - CPX modules require a special header which cannot easily be created within a compiler. This program lets you generate the appropriate header by extracting and modifying an existing one from another CPX or generating a new header from scratch. Make CPX then allows the header to be attached to your CPX program file as generated by the compiler. RSC TO C by ELF Software - Extracts the data from an RSC file into a set of initialised static arrays and a data structure containing the size and pointers to these arrays. The resultant code can then be edited to suit and incorporated directly within the main program. Designed for use with Pure C, the output may need minor modification for other compilers. ALERT HELP V2.0 by Matthias Jaap - The easy way to create an alert box. Enter the text for the message and buttons, choose the default button, select which symbol is to be used in the box and you're finished! Output can be in GFA Basic format or standard FORM_ALERT type. There's even a preview button so you can see the results before you save to disk. Program in English and German. Sampled Sounds (Instruments - Bass, Brass, Drums) Disk 1 by Brian Ross . Suitable for use with Quartet, TCB Tracker or any of the PD Soundtracker clones. 156 samples on disk. SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program .

REFLEX DEMO (FULL VERSION) by The Opposition - We already have the preview version of this one on DEM.864C. This version features all the screens from the original plus 3 new ones. THE RETURN OF SHERLOCK HOLMES by Arthur Conan Doyle - A collection of thirteen shortish stories featuring our intrepid hero, Holmes. The stories are The Adventures Of The Abbey Grange, Black Peter, Charles Augustus Milverton, The Dancing Men, The Empty House, The Golden Pince-Nez, The Missing Three-Quarter, The Norwood Builder, The Priory School, The Second Stain, The Six Napoleons, The Solitary Cyclist and The Three Students. All texts are out of copyright and may be freely copied. THE TRANSBEAUCE DEMO II DISK 1 - This megademo was compiled as aresult of a coding party organised by The Bushwackers in May 1991. This disk contains the top twelve entries in the demo contest. You move a ball around a massive screen. Each time you come into contact with another ball you enter a a a demo. Upon leaving the demo that ball joins on and after you've seen three or four demos, you are guiding a caterpiller like object around. This is undoubtedly the best demo of 1991. This disk runs independently of disk 2. Press the HELP kor the credits etc. CLIP ART (COSTUME THROUGH THE AGES) in IMG format. Files are 12C0001, 12C0002, 13C0001, 13C0002, 14C0001, 14C0002, 14C0003, 14C0004, 14C0005, 14C0006, 15C0001, 15C0002, 15C0003, 15C0004, 15C0005, 16C0001, 16C0002, ANBRT001, ANBRT002, ANSAX001, ANSAX002, ANSAX003, GK_0001, GK_0002, RM_0001, RM_0002, ARTPRINT - Allows you to search through disks for clip art files. Specified files can be printed out on most 9-pin and 24-pin printers. Files supported are IMG, PI3, PC3, DOO, ArtiST, TNY and TN3. High res only. AUTOSEQ - Install as an application on your Desktop using the SEQ extension. Save Desktop and reboot. Now all you need to do to load a Cyber Paint animation is double-click the SEQ file. Loading is much quicker and easier than using Animate4. IFF PLAY - An improved player (quicker to load and without bugs!) for Deluxe Paint animation files. Can even be used to autorun animations. FL2IFF - Converts FLI files from Autodesk Animator on the PC to Deluxe Paint IFF animations, performing the necessary 16 colour reduction as it goes! These can be replayed using IFF PLAY (also on this disk). DUMPLAB - Takes 'dump' files from DKB 2.1 on the PC and coverts them to Degas or Quantum Paintbox formats for use on the ST. GASD - A clever little program which converts Degas or Spectrum 512 pictures to AIM (ART.09) format. The user is given a substantial amount of control over the conversion process and AIM format can also be converted to Degas. No readme but help is available from within the program. THE CARTOONIST - A sprite animation program which includes C source for incorporating your animations into your own programs. THE CHAOS GAME - This is an odd one. It involves creating fractal graphics by the throw of a dice! I'm still not entirely convinced as to the usefulness of the program but you can judge for yourself. JPEG - A method of picture compression used on the PC. It is highly compacted but does result in a certain amount of loss of image quality. Mainly used for compressing and decompressing GIF files. SMALLVIEW - Creates mini-pics of Degas picture files. Search through the mini-pics to find the one you want without having to load them all up. Particularly useful for hard drive users. PICPRINT - An ACC which prints out Degas and ArtiST pictures at 640 dots per line (assuming your printer can handle this) to give a better output than a screendump. Mono only. PICPRINT2 - Install as an application on the Desktop. Specify the PI? extender, Save Desktop and reboot. Now you just need to double-click any Degas PI? file and it will display on screen, then output to printer. Works in any res. SPINWHEEL - Creates Spirograph type effects on screen. You can load and save pictures, even choosing your own backgrounds for your patterns. S-FALC.5564 S-FALC.5565 GHOSTSCRIPT V3.53 by Aladdin Enterprises - A Freeware PostScript language interpreter along similar lines to UltraScript and CompoScript. It conforms with level 2 of the PostScript language and allows you to view or print to non-PostScript printers PostScript pages such as those created using PageStream 2 and various DTP applications on both the PC and Mac. You can also view or print graphics saved in PostScript format. This latest version of the software also supports Adobe s PDF Portable Document Format a DTP file format which can be used in different DTP packages. GhostScript currently allows you to print your files to Atari SLM HP Deskjet incl colour models Canon BJ series Epson 9-pin Epson 24-pin incl colour models Epson ESC P2 Epson Stylus and NEC P6 series printers. This makes it ideal for previewing your work prior to taking it to your PostScript bureau. Alternatively the page or graphic can be saved in IMG PBM or PPM graphic file formats. Needs 4 Mb of memory and a hard drive. HOMEPAGE PENGUIN V1.7 by Matthias Japp - An excellent program which generates a basic HTML homepage. Give it a title, select a background colour/image, import some text, fill in a few details and save the results. It's as simple as that, follow the prompts without any knowledge of HTML and you've got a nicely presented page. It is then possible to spruce it up manually. Program in both English and German. Needs to be run in 640x400 or better so ST high res only (although the page itself can be in colour). EXPIRE - Useful program which lets you expire all emails in your Oasis OUTMAIL.TXT except for the number specify that you wish to retain eg; expire all except the 100 most recent entries. KA9Q HELP - A collection of Help files explaining every command supported by KA9Q as used in AtariNOS and Oasis 1.35. I'm sure they can be configured to be called up from within NOS but can't quite work out how! An invaluable source of documentation on NOS commands, regardless. MR POINTY V1.26 by Rob Cooper & Darren Hook - A nice easy to use program ideally suited to BBS sysops but equally useful for those individuals set up as a point (or node) on a BBS network such as NeST, FidoNet or TurboNet. It handles file echoes and mail echoes as well as managing nodelists. Mr Pointy brings simplicity to an area of comms normally avoided by all but the hardened enthusiast. WENSUITE V2.40b by OXO Concept - At last, an alternative to the CAB browser (not that there's anything wrong with CAB!). This version looks very similar to CAB is fully HTML compliant and directly compatible with NetScape 2. This demo version is a complete implementation of the package with the only restriction being that it is restricted to viewing pages off-line. The full version is available direct from 16/32 Systems. A wide selection of utilities , mostly from Richard Pitt and Martin Packer. ACCLOAD v2.0 - A bootup configuration program which sets the date & time, displays reminders, selects ACCs and DESKTOP.INF files.

It can use a script or select files from a menu. CRSRC - Converts RSC files to C source code for embedding in programs for speed and simplicity. Designed for Lattice C v5, but should work with most compilers. DATEPLAN v0.2 - A personal planner/diary which includes password protection for really secret plots! DESKTOP CHOOSER - Selects the appropriate DESKTOP.INF for the current resolution at boot time. LOTTOCHECK - Seems to be a management system for some kind of lottery, but the rules aren't apparent to me. Maybe it's just what's needed for the new National Lottery? NEODK3IK - A collection of 77 new icons for Neodesk in all three resolutions. PASS_SYS - Password protection for hard disks. The system won't boot till you enter the correct password. PIC_INLN - Loads a Degas picture and converts it for use with the INLine command in GFA Basic. PROTECTOR - Automatically deletes selected files when you boot, unless you supply the correct password (I think). PRTUTILS - A print spooler which is easily configured for size and a print program which prompts for NLQ, initial FF etc. SET_TIME - Guess! SETBOOT - Select and/or sort Auto folder programs, accessories, DESKTOP.INFs and GDOS ASSIGN.SYS files. Unlike the usual offerings, you run this one BEFORE (re)booting! SPACKER2 - Yet another file packer. Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. ST INT 3.4 - Another boot configurer. This one has more options than most. SZSHELL - A nice GEM shell for the Sozobon C compiler (C programmers who don't use the command line! What's the world coming to?). ULTISNAP - An intriguing snapshot utility which hooks itself to the reset button rather than a key combination. It is less prone to being disabled by naughty programs like games and demos. CLIPART GODS DEITIES/COSTUME THROUGH THE AGES in IMG format . Files are GODS DEITIES SALAMAND SHANGO THEMIS THORR THOTH T_BIRD UNICORN WITCHES1 ZEUS OBA OHDINN. Files are COSTUME THROUGH THE AGES 12C0001 12C0002 13C0001 13C0002 14C0001 14C0002 14C0003 14C0004 14C0005 14C0006 15C0001 15C0002 15C0003 15C0004 15C0005 16C0001 16C0002 ANBRT001 ANBRT002 ANSAX001 ANSAX002 ANSAX003 GK_0001 GK_0002 RM_0001 RM_0002. SB-PROLOG v3.1 from University of Arizona - A full Prolog language and compiler ported from Unix. It performs at about 5100 LIPS (logical inferences per second) on the ST and needs at least 1MB of RAM, preferably more. Includes source and a user guide (in nroff format), but a beginner would need more info. AIRBAG V1.1 by Apache - A boot selector program which lets you choose which ACCs and Auto programs are to be run for the current session. It allows you to specify up to 28 Auto folder programs and 28 ACCs and 10 default sets can be saved for ease of use. You can boot up with a low res picture and perform a check of your system vectors useful for detecting viruses . ARKUS V1.0 - A font manager program for use with SpeedoGDOS and NVDI 3. It displays the names of fonts from Calamus TrueType Postscript Type 1 and SpeedoGDOS fonts. It also displays copyright information and other useful data about the fonts. If you are using NVDI 3 you can adjust the caches independently of each other and de-install loaded fonts. Fully Multi-TOS compatible. This is a demo so not all options are fully functional. Also text and program are both in German but we ve done a RUF translation of the text. BATFAX - A Shareware fax program. It converts ASCII or 1st Word/Wordplus files into STraight FAX compatible files ready for transmission. Similarly received faxes automatic and manual receive are both supported can be printed to Epson compatible printers or converted to text format. The only limitation to this excellent piece of software is that you can only send text messages and cannot include letterheads etc in them. There is an annoying feature to encourage registration but at only 25 you ll be glad to part with your cash NOVA BOMBER by Christian Kr ger - A post mortem analysis tool to trap system crashes when running software with the Nova graphics card so as to help you identify the problems with the software. CD BROWSER V1.3 by Keith Lord - A program which lets you poke around inside and ISO 9660 standard CD-ROM disc. It displays information on the volume descriptor reads the root directory allows you to browse through directories and displays the contents of text files. A very useful feature is the ability to bypass the corrupted directory entry on the Gemini CD ROM and access the rest of the IMGs in the folder There s also the ability to copy files from the CD to your hard drive view sectors on the CD-ROM and search the disc for specified filenames. All this is WITHOUT using a CD-ROM driver such as ExtenDOS or MetaDOS. The only thing it doesn t let you do is run files directly from the CD. DESKCLOCK V1.0 by Yanick Dufresne - A corner clock which runs as an ACC or can be used as a PRG under Multi-TOS. C source included. EASY PGP SHELL V0.90 - A simple to use GEM based front end for use with Pretty Good Privacy the data encryption program. FORMINT V2.3 - An excellent disk formatter which runs under Multi-TOS. It can format DOS compatible or extended format disks and runs in the background thus allowing you to carry on using other applications while your disks are formatting. Simply enter its details into the GEM.CNF file and it is used to replace the Desktop s built-in disk formatter. Docs are in French but the program has English French and German RSC files. GENEVA PATCH - A short program which updates Geneva to fix a few bugs encountered when running on the Falcon. GEN MOUSE V2.5 - Allows you to connect a generic PC mouse to your serial port. Both the Atari and serial mouse are operational at the same time. If your PC mouse has three buttons you can make use of the middle button with this useful program. Even if it doesn t you can swap the functions of the right and left buttons useful if the left button gets broken. Logitech and Microsoft mice are also supported. PATCHES - A collection of small but useful patches which allow some ST games to run on the Falcon. They deal with correct fixing of the screen address the ST soundchip problem replacing the Falcon s sound matrix with STE compatible DMA sound and finally there s an option to run games which are executed directly from the bootsector. These patches are able to get more than a dozen otherwise incompatible games running. ULTIMEM v1.0 - Allows you to reconfigure your Falcon to think that it has 512K 1 Mb 2 Mb 2.5 Mb or 4 Mb subject to available memory . Useful for compatibility testing when developing software. It also gets round the problem of programs which do not normally run on machines with more than 1 Meg. VOX - A voice recognition program in English and French. Load up a list of words and talk clearly into a microphone at the prompts. Vox is a bit unstable at learning words so you may experience frequent crashes Save regularly and continue until you have spoken all the words on the list. Now switch voice recognition on and say close into the microphone. You will be amazed to see the top window close Go into your favourite word processor and tell it to cut paste and copy You ll be amazed up the point when it confuses cut with quit Vox is still under development but already looks promising. Pity there s no docs. Vox only runs under Multi-TOS and needs 4 Mb. Includes full source code in C and assembler. Bldedit - character editor for Bloodwych. Modifies a saved game to give any character your chosen attributes. Chaos - four different editor programs for Chaos Strikes Back. Cheetah - moves data around your floppy or hard disk at lightning speed. UMS - a scenario for UMS. This one features the invasion of Egypt in 1956.

Menuedit - creates the code needed to use GEM menu bars in your GFA Basic programs. Mono_Sel - gives you the option of whether or not to load up the mono emulator. Sorter - sorts ASCII files in numerical or alphabetical order. Streetfax - gives information on street names. Although a sample file is included, you can create your own data files. TITLO - loads up a PI1 title screen then proceeds to load the main program. Low res only. Utility 2.2 - a collection of fifteen different utilities in one. Very useful but colour only. TD - prompts for time/date on boot up. TT - A collection of technical discussions on the TT's hardware. These look at the differences between the Modem 2 and Serial 2 ports, DIY projects to upgrade the Modem 2 port to handle 230,040 bps as supported by the new 56K modems (mod may also work on a Falcon), the jumper settings on the Fast RAM board and the setting up of burst mode, fixing a dead CONTROL key, making adaptor cables to allow third party mono monitors to be used, and how to eliminate the white border on TT screens.

Kevin Jones, a student who relies on his STE, is the subject of this issue's user profile and Colin continues his HTML tutorial by looking at working with images and the use of anchor tags. There's all the usual like editorial, Croft Soft News and a number of adverts. Finally, Matthias Jaap takes a look at software which has been written as a joke or which is merely downright silly! Atari Times is written in HTML format and needs to be read using a browser like CAB (on DMG.5556). GNU C Debugger . Designed to complement LAN.28 and LAN.29. Source level debugger with many different types of breakpoints and data examination facilities. Help can be called up from within the program. Full manual is included on disk. To use the debugger with GNU C you will need 2 Meg of memory. STOSSER Issue #5 (August 1993) - What can I say, another packed issue with a rather impressive looking opening screen! The Missing Link extension has been used for this shell and what a difference it makes. There's a new member to the team this month, Keefy, who takes over the editing. Billy Allan gives us a tutorial on the Missing Link extention and some tips on speeding up your STOS programs,there's a STOS Adventure Creator competition and a new series aimed at the complete novice which looks at the basics of computing.

That's not entirely true as there's a blue background! The first contains those famous balls making various patterns over the screen. Some rather impressive 3D effects here. The second has a spinning ball constructed from thousands of dots. The third features a scroller which has hints on how to access the fourth, a hidden screen. There's swearing in the scroller and the coders seem rather insulting towards everyone, so don't order this disk if you're likely to be offended. Signum fonts for 24 pin printers . Fonts are ANTIK45, BASKVILL, HARRINGT, PRIMUS, ANTIMIKR, CARPICA3, MODERN, ROKWEL, TIMES, ANTIQUA, CASLON, NEW_YORK, SCRIBA, UNIROMBI, ANTI_CAP, EGYPTIEN, PCOURFE, SCRIBERE, UNIROMME, ANTROB_7, GARAMONT, PCOURLT, SERIFLT, ZAPF, ANTROL_7.

BUBBLE by Bob Silliker - Fill up a balloon from an oxygen cylinder. As it floats downwards you must pump jets of air at it to keep it afloat. The aim is to guide it to the other side of the screen. Easy on the lower levels, then you get various hazzards creeping in! COLOUR CODE by J Houston - A 'Mastermind' clone. You have four coloured blocks and must choose the correct colour and order for the blocks. Although the concept's the same, it makes a welcome change from coloured pegs! Just to liven things up, there are six possible colours and each colour can be used more than once. BATTLE AT SEA by Larry Berman - An impressive rendition of the Battleships and Cruisers board game. This version comes complete with realistic explosion sounds and the ability to play against the computer or against a friend by modem or via null modem cable. The normal rules of this game apply. One of the better implementations. CONCENTRATION by Steve Everman & Paul Pratt - A one or two player game played on an 8x8 grid. At first sight it looks like a simple case of matching pairs of symbols. However, there's an added feature, each game contains a hidden phrase which you must guess. When certain pairs are matched, they reveal a letter and you can guess the phrase at any time to win the game. TRACKBALL by Ross McNaughton - A fast action puzzle game. A coloured ball is released onto a track and you must frantically alter the track junction switches to ensure it reaches its desired destination. A limited number of mistakes are tolerated but you can be playing with multiple balls on later levels. Tests your reflexes and mental agility to the full! THE MODULE COLLECTION 3 by JSD .

BLITZ III - Bomb out the buildings and make a safe landing on the cleared sight. This is a classic implementation from the 8 bit micros but with three planes to control instead of one! If you have a 520STE double-click the main program. Don't run the loader program. MAKE A BREAK by Martyn Brown - Based on the TV Show. You answer trivia questions. If you get it right you pot the ball. After potting a red you can chose which coloured ball to pot, just like real snooker. The higher the ball value, the harder the question. WORD PUZZLE GENERATOR by Keith Bearman - Create your own word puzzles and print them out or even play ready made ones. Runs in colour or mono. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. 7-UP V2.3 by Michael Thanitz - The English version of this popular German Shareware text editor. Calling 7-UP a text editor is a little misleading as it is really more of a word processor featuring word wrap Speedo GDOS support a text preview option and so forth. It s very fast especially considering that it is fully GEMmed. Up to 7 texts may be worked on simultaneously from 7-UP s built-in Desktop. Printout is supported to Epson ESC P2 or IBM Proprinter models or to any installed printer using GDOS. The information dialog is very useful giving a wealth of info on your currently selected document it can even do a word count on a block . 7-UP is multi- tasking friendly supports the GEM Clipboard allows UNDO for most operations supports keyboard shortcuts as well as the use of drop down menus and is very customisable. The search facility is probably the most powerful around allowing you to search the whole document individual pages individual blocks search for markers in the text search for block start/end etc. All in all a very polished piece of software. Well documented in ST-Guide TEX and ASCII formats. Unfortunately the docs are still in German but we ve done a RUF translation. Sampled Sounds (Instruments - String, Orchestral, Miscellaneous) Disk 3 by Brian Ross. Suitable for use with Quartet, TCB Tracker or any of the PD Soundtracker clones. 55 samples on disk. INFO '91 text files from Usenet - Covers the period 24/3/91 to 4/4/91. SECOND WORLD WAR by Jim Fanning - A three disk set based around the events of the last war. The system is run from TCos V1.2 with data arranged on cards, the text and graphics being accessed by active 'buttons'. The TCos system is well documented in terms of structured programming while the set of disks will provide the user with a large collection of TN3 and IMG scans relating to World War 2 (ranging from newspaper clippings to photographs). A useful compilation which is accurately documented. ST+ #21 OCTOBER 1997 - The now familiar revamped shell returns for its third month. News includes an English version of Eureka, the latest Atari ftp sites and previews of the October 1997 Atari Shows in Birmingham, London and Dallas. Beginners' section has an article explaining all about computer viruses and gives information on common ST viruses as well as help on using Newsie. DIY projects look at adding a 14 second delay to boot-up on an STFM and adding a second hard drive inside an SH204 case. There's an introduction to ST demos and a review of the Pure As Water megademo. Games reviews are of NFL Football, Ninja Garden, Pac-Land, Paperboy, Pinball Jam, QIX, Rampage, Rampart, Road Blasters and Robosquash (all Lynx), Battle Master, Mouthtrap Street Fighter 2 (all ST), Zero 5 (STE & Falcon). Other reviews include UFOST #2, Protext v6.04, Zero 5, DKB Raytrace (all ST), Sound Player v0.3 (Falcon) and Star Trek TNG Technical Manual. The comms section looks at going on line, Mint Net, Atari NOS, pointing and more. There's cheats for Chips Challenge, Deja Vu, Kings Quest 2, Populous and others as well as masses of tips on Frontier Elite. The now regular STOS column is packed with goodies and there's a diary charting the development of HERO 2. There are of course all the regular features and several non- Atari items too. With over 120 articles, you're in for quite a few hours' reading! Needs 1 Mb. MULTIPLICITY V1.02 by Martyn Tidd - A Shareware multimedia authoring package for the Falcon. Multiplicity works by treating your presentation as a book. The book can have as many pages as you wish and each page may contain sound text graphics animations or a combination of any of these. Full screen graphics and animations can be used to give a more professional feel to your presentations and navigational aids can be added to allow the user to find his way through the various pages in your book. The package comprises two programs a creator program and a player. It has been designed with an open architecture so that external programs can be linked to display or view file formats not ordinarily supported by the application itselFALC. Ideal for creating product tutorials advertising trailers educational teaching aids and even multi-media games. Multiplicity is very well documented and includes a totorial and a demo presentation. Please note that you will have to create your text sound samples graphics and animations in other packages Multiplicity is merely an aid to putting it all together. Multi- tasking OS recommended although it will run under single TOS. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. Movie_STE by Tony Barker . Shows a video-type trailer promoting the STE. Demonstrates the blitter and the new sound chip. STE ONLY. PICFIB V1.1a - A slideshow program with a few differences. Picfib currently supports the viewing of IMG, Degas, PCX and GIF images. Lists of images can be created and individual pictures assigned 'tags'. These tags are then used as basis of searches so that only files in the list which match any chosen tag or tags, will be displayed. Picfib runs on any Atari but pictures with less colours than the current resolution will look pretty awful! If you've got lots of pictures (especially clip art) on your hard drive, this may well be just what you need to get them into some sort of logical order. THE FRACTAL ENGINE v2.1 by Daniel Grace & Mike Harris - So you thought fractals were slow and boring, you obviously haven't seen FE2! This is a major update of the program on ART.3647C. Supports all sets including 'Barnsley' and saves zoomed animations in small or full screen format with it's own animation player. Also, you can save palettes and co- ordinates etc. This is probably the most comprehensive fractal creation program around, supporting eleven different complex planar fractal types. Fractal popcorn, mountains and plasma clouds are new for v2 as are 3D fractal landscapes (created using spherical mapping or landscape rendering), and images may be overlayed on top of each other. Whether your interest is in fractal geometry or artistic creation, static creations or 3D ray traced animations, Fractal Engine 2 takes a lot of beating! Very well documented (over 75K of easy to read docs) with plenty of example files. FE2 runs in low res only, Picfib runs in any res except True Colour. GCSE REVISION - These programs cover Algebra, Geometry & Trigonometry and conform to grades A,B and C of the GCSE syllabus. Should be a help to you in your studies at school or college. GEOGRAPHY TUTOR - A useable demonstration of a commercial product. This version only gives statistics for Europe. Although you can alter the database, the save facilty is disabled. ST CONCENTRATION - Another matching game. Choose your grid size and number of players. Match up the symbols. FRANKREICH CLIPART - A Collection of 42 massive IMG scans taken from photographs of France. The scans are diverse featuring national landmarks as well as general pictures portraying the French men and women in typical work and leisure situations. Probably compiled from photographs taken by a German tourist. These scans a very large and are therefore really intended to be loaded into a DTP package and printed at a resolution of at least 300dpi. Most of them require more than 1 Meg. READ - Designed to be used by children between the ages of about four and six, together with adult supervision. You are presented with a set of twelve words and a blackboard. A picture will appear on the blackboard, often showing some animation, and it will be identified. The child must match the word and picture shown with one of the twelve words in the grid. TRAINS - Designed for use with children between the ages of four and seven, together with adult supervision. A locomotive pulling a number of carriages moves from left to right. When the train stops, the child counts the number of carriages and clicks on the correct number. COUNTING - A random number of items in the form of small pictures appear on screen the child counts them, then selects the correct number using the mouse. FLASH CARD - Try to get the rocket home safely by correctly spelling a randomly chosen word. Just to make it more difficult, the word disappears after a short pause. THE CREATOR PROGRAMS - These four programs provide the tools to easily and quickly create various forms of puzzles.The four programs are MULTIPLE CHOICE CREATOR, CROSSWORD CREATOR, WORDSEARCH CREATOR and WORDSPIRAL CREATOR. The Crossword, Wordsearch and Wordspiral Creators are linked together. Each is capable of loading in a list of words and questions in a special format with the .WRD extender and creating puzzles from them. This allows you to enter a word list once and create all 3 types of puzzle. All 3 programs can print out on Epson compatible 9 Pin printers. Bootpic- Autoboot displaying a Degas format picture. Biclock- set time/date. Mousetrap- forces you to press right mouse button to access desktop menus. Rat-trap- like mousetrap,but operates as a desktop accessory. Reset- forces a complete system reset. Coder- allows you to send escape codes to your printer from the desktop thus avoiding the setting of dip switches. Super Copy- disk copier which uses graphics to show the formatting procedure. Degas Convert- convert Degas colour files to mono. 2 Formatters.Spooler- 32K printer spooler. Timesave- avoids entering time/date after a reset. Upload- upload specified files from one disk to another or to a ramdisk. Grabber- grabs screen after pressing ALT+HELP and saves to disk. Hard Disk Utilities. Hard disk owners are forgotten no longer. Autoboot from drive C, Auto folder on hard disk,verify hard disk backup on a two drive system, have more than 40 folders on disk. Many other utilities, too numerous to mention. All utilities fully documented. GESS V1B by Jean-Etienne Doucet - The computer version of a board game invented by the mathematical society of the University of Cambridge (also known as the Archimedeans). It is based upon chess but played on an 18x18 chequered board and all the pieces look alike (as in draughts). It is usually played on a Go board using the standard sets of stones. It's a two player game with rather complicated rules but is very well documented (in English!) and should be easy to pick up. RED CAT RUMMY 500+ by Yam Software - A computer rendition of the popular card game. This implementation is easy to use and features several difficulty levels when competing against the computer. It is also possible to play a two player game over the modem or by connecting two Ataris via a null modem cable. If you're familiar with Rummy you'll love this one. If not, you'll find the rules well explained in the doc. This is a demo version with some features disabled. The full version is available at low cost. TOS 1.0 TO 1.62 ONLY. FIRE SNARE by Phenix Software - A two player game in which you must guide a snake around the screen collecting mushrooms. Just to add to the fun, some mushrooms are poisonous and eating one of those results in losing a life. Great game, regrettably the docs are in French. NOSCO by AAZ - A rather complicated puzzle game in which your aim is to position all the balls in a straight line. This is complicated by the presence of blocks which move each time you click onto a ball. Unfortunately the docs are in French. The Finger Bobs New Year Demo . Consists of 4 sub-demos. The best yet from The Fingerbobs. Demo of the Aladin Macintosh emulator . Rolling demo. No user interaction. Needs 1 Meg. THE NAARJEK COLLECTION by Carl Hafne r - It all started with Naarjek where you (a computer games programmer) go in to work one morning and find that you've been replaced by a Cyborg. Your employers have stolen your latest game designs and changed the access codes to lock you out of the system. Your only hope is to hack into the system to recover your work. This game, similar to Hacker on 8-bit machines, proved so popular that the author went on to write four followups, all of which are on this disk. In each game you must gain access then use the various resources within the Naarjek computer to learn how it 'thinks' and outwit it. On later programs this involves planting renegade programs (known as worms) inside the computer to carry out specific tasks. By Naarjek 3, the computer has assumed control over itself and locks out anyone it likes, even making human-like decisions at times. Due to self-mutating code, its 'personality' is ever changing and your attempts to 'break in' and regain control over the system are even more difficult than in previous releases of the game. Naarjek 4 and 5 follow on with the same theme (breaking into a computer system which has is controlled by its own artificial intelligence routines), it's just that the games are tougher to crack and different strategies are needed. The Naarjek Collection is for those of you who want a challenge and prefer mind games to shoot 'em ups. If you get stuck early on, there's a help program included for Naarjek 2, after that you're on your own! Naarjek 1 is colour only, the others run in colour or mono. TCB Tracker modules disk 15 by Brian Ross . Boots up with a demo, other MODs on disk. Files are IPEC, TJATMIKE, VECTOR, ZAPPER, COUCOU, AAARSS, ASCALE. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are FULL- EFF, LAZER1, LAZER2, ODDBEAT, POWERDRI. KLINGON CALAMITY by Maurice Molyneux - An incredibly realistic self running animation of a Klingon vessel being blown up in outer space. Needs 1 Meg. THE X-FILES COLLECTION - A number of text files relating to the TV series which have originated from the Internet. The various files on this disk contain everything you ever wanted to know about the series, the main characters, fan club info, a list of episodes, ftp sites associated with the series and much more besides. There's even an overview of each an every episode from the first and second series', giving a listing the cast and a brief outline of the plot. Other features include a compilation of the 20 most frequently asked questions in the X-Files newsgroup on the Internet and the full published results of a survey of X-Files fans conducted over the Internet as well as an on-line interview with the show's executive producer and one of the stars. CONNECT 95 - An impressive terminal emulator which can emulate VT52 VT100 VT102/ANSI and VT220 terminals. In VT100 VT102 or VT220 mode you can even emulate a TEK 4014 graphics terminal. All emulations are implemented for both serial and MIDI ports. Connect is entirely GEM based and both English and German versions are supplied although we ve set it up for English. It has everything you need to log on to your favourite BBS and more. This program offers more emulation modes than most and it runs on any Atari even under Multi-TOS. There s very little by way of documentation but an extensive on-line Help function is built into the program. Nothing is disabled in this Shareware version. The only restriction is that Connect only remains fully usable for 30 hours in total. After that time you will need to register your copy. UK users can register with System Solutions full details on disk. THE BBS DIRECTORY by Mark Westguard - This helpful utility displays a map of the British Isles and has a number of options which allow you to locate bulletin boards which are local to you. This Shareware version merely gives the name and telephone number of about 100 boards. Register for 5 to get the full version which features over 400 boards along with info on most boards. BAUDRATE V1.1 - Locks your modem to your chosen baud rate. In most cases the modem switches down to the baud rate of the incoming signal. However you cannot benefit from MNP compression unless your modem is running at a higher baud rate than the incoming signal. This program allows you to do this. GSZRZ V6.6 - An excellent implementation of the SZ and RZ protocols from Unix. These programs are intended for transferring files using the ZModem protocol. An ACC version is also supplied for intended use with Rufus but I suspect it will work within any GEM based comms program. Programs are in English but docs in German. Register for v4 and you get English docs too A PACHE V1.2.5 by Jan P Schmidt - Have you ever wanted to use your Atari as a server on the WWW or as an Intranet server for your company? Look no further, Apache is all you will ever need in order to achieve this (as well as a high speed modem and an account with an ISP of course!). It is based on NCSA's HTTPD Web server software which was the most commonly used server software prior to Apache's release. Apache now leads the pack. It is distributed as Freeware and this is the Atari version. Apache comes with an extensive user manual (in HTML format of course) but is not recommended for beginners. Now for the catches.... You will need at least 4Mb of memory, a minimum screen resolution of 640 x400 (ST high unless you have a graphics card) and masses of hard drive space to use as server space. It is also desirable to have a permanent connection to the Net, otherwise your server will be inaccessible to other users except when you are on-line. The way to get round this is of course to have your main Web page on a permanent site with a link to your home/work machine and state it will only function at certain times. Some users are already employing this method. One last snag, you must be running MiNT or MiNTNet as Apache does not run under TOS or MagiC. S-FALC.5041 Assorted colour Clip Art in GIF format .

FRIED BITS III THING by Avena Digital Chaos - There s quite a lot packed into this demo. It contains most of Avena s effects since they produced Dementia and lots more besides. Clever use of smooth fast moving effects gives the illusion of being drawn into and then out of the screen as this demo kicks off. There s about half a dozen different plasma effects a chessboard effect rotation zoom 3D texture mapping and more. A fly past through a 3D world is particularly well done as is a face distortion which bends and twists only to perform a complete and perfect reconstruction of itself Various patterns pulsate in time with the soundtrack and there s a superb pond-like reflection technique similar to that used in the Osmosis Demo on the STE. The whole thing winds up with superb True Colour mugshots of the coders mapped onto the faces of a cube. As with everything from Avena this one s certainly worth a look. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. PART 2 7-UP V2.3 by Michael Thanitz - The English version of this popular German Shareware text editor. Calling 7-UP a text editor is a little misleading as it is really more of a word processor, featuring word wrap, (Speedo)GDOS support, a text preview option and so forth. It"s very fast, especially considering that it is fully GEMmed. Up to 7 texts may be worked on simultaneously from 7-UP"s built-in Desktop. Printout is supported to Epson ESC P2 or IBM Proprinter models or to any installed printer using GDOS. The information dialog is very useful giving a wealth of info on your currently selected document (it can even do a word count on a block). 7-UP is multi-tasking friendly, supports the GEM Clipboard, allows UNDO for most operations, supports keyboard shortcuts (as well as the use of drop down menus) and is very customisable. The search facility is probably the most powerful around, allowing you to search the whole document, individual pages, individual blocks, search for markers in the text, search for block start/end etc. All in all, a very polished piece of software. Well documented in ST-Guide, TEX and ASCII formats. Unfortunately the docs are still in German but we"ve done a RUF translation. DBA DISK MAG 7 - Christmas 92 Edition. The DBA crew return with another issue of their increasingly popular disk mag. The same basic shell remains, but has new Christmas graphics sprinkled on it! The amount of articles is quite phenomenal, 152 in total! They include 32 pages of console cheats, information on satellite TV stations, interviews with Joe Satriani, concert reviews, 13 demo reviews, video charts, a review of The Lawnmower Man, information on new viruses such as the Conservative Virus and the Dame Edna Virus (not to be taken seriously) and 13 interviews with members of groups from the ST Scene, including Animal Mine and The Hemeroids. There's the usual Falcon news, GFA/Assembly column, modem column and the word search, which offers a prize for the winner. On disk there is Pictura v2.0, a good paint program, Kwik View v2 (includes GFA source) and a demo written in GFA Basic (again including source). EVEREST v3.6E - A nice easy to use Shareware text editor which is fully GEM based. It allows up to 10 windows to be open at once and has most of the features of a dedicated word processor. GDOS fonts are supported if GDOS or SpeedoGDOS is installed and even the system font can be scaled to suit. Almost everything can be customised to suit and settings can be saved. Everest supports keyboard macros Multi-TOS and the GEM Clipboard. Floppyshop have obtained special permission from the author to distribute this program. AHDICONF - Allows you to configure Atari s AHDI hard drive handler v5.0 or later to your own requirements. Sector size can be up to 16K supporting drive capacities of up to 512 Mb you can boot from any partition you can decide which SCSI numbers are to be checked for it usually only checks them sequentially and specify the number of folders which may be opened you don t need FOLDRXXX.PRG anymore . ARROWFIX V1.5 - Fixes a few bugs in GEM which relate to the handling of mouse events. The most notable of these is that it prevents single clicks being interpreted as double-clicks when using the scrollbars on GEM windows. Only works if GEMRAM on UTL.4340 is installed. F030_CD - A collection of programs specifically associated with using a CD- ROM drive connected to your Falcon. CD PLAYER - Plays music CD s on a computer based CD-ROM drive. Multi-TOS compatible. Requires ICD Pro utilities v6.0 or later. CD_PLAY - Allows you to play music CD s on a Toshiba CD-ROM drive may also work with others . Can be run as a PRG or ACC. METADOS V2.7 - Atari s CD-ROM driver software. Works with the CDAR504 and all SCSI based ISO 9660 mechanisms. Includes a new driver to allow it to run on the Falcon. AUDIO CD V2.0 - Plays music CD s on any SCSI based CD-ROM drive. Runs as an APP or ACC. SCSI_DRV - A low level SCSI driver for a CD- ROM drive. CD_ENV - Works in conjunction with the SCSI driver but I m not exactly sure of its purpose as docs are in German. GAMEFIX - Yet another STE emulator which allows some incompatible games to run on the Falcon. It looks quite comprehensive but the text being in German doesn t help much Includes source code and library files in C and assembler. GAPOSCAN - A small program which forces your Falcon into overscan mode. RGB ONLY. TOS4TRAP - Fixes certain GEMDOS bugs which are present in TOS v4 upwards. This makes certain programs such as STalker NEODesk prior to v4 MaxiFile Desk Manager and others from behaving differently under TOS 4 to how they perform on the ST. FALCVOLU - Switches the volume setting to 0 for the internal speaker. VOXMAIL V0.99 by Michael Fung - A Shareware voice mail system. This program acts like an advanced telephone answering machine allowing you to record different outgoing messages and saving incoming messages to disk. The program is undergoing continued development and there s some pretty advanced features promised for the future. This Shareware version is fully operational but you will need to register in order to get the necessary hardware to interface between the Falcon and the telephone line. Requires a hard drive. OCR v1.4D by Alexander Clauss - An optical character recognition program. It reads in IMG files created by scanners and converts any text within them into ASCII so that it can be saved to disk and edited within your favourite word processor. You are prompted to enter the ASCII equivalent of any letter not recognised and these are built up into libraries for future use. This means that the next time you encounter that letter in the document it will be recognised. By saving libraries at the end of each session character recognition will be much faster next time as OCR will already know the relevant font. Where a font is such that it is difficult to tell certain characters from each other eg 1 and l you can instruct OCR to guess the correct character based upon the other characters surrounding it. This is a very powerful program which is on a par with many commercial offerings yet it is easy to understand and a joy to use. Obviously you will need some sort of mono scanner in order to scan the text you intend to use. OCR will run on a 1 Meg system but some scans may be too large to load without additional memory. On-line Help in ST Guide not included format. Very highly recommended. GNU C V1.4 - This is yet another variation of the GNU C compiler. However, this set is distinctly different from other versions in that it does NOT require a hard drive in order to run. It is fully functional and has been shoe-horned to fit into a 2.5 Meg ST by Trevor Blight. Now those of you who do not own a hard drive can try out what is arguably one of the best versions of C around. Please note that you MUST have at LEAST 2.5 Meg of memory in order to use this disk. TRIPLE JIGSAW - Three jigsaw programs from Leesoft, New Zealand. Two of the games are of the type where you load up a picture, divide it into a number of pieces which are then mixed up, and then you must click on two pieces which will swap places as you try to reform the original picture. The final game splits a picture up into a number of small pieces, each of which can then be selected, rotated and placed in position, much as you do when completing a real jigsaw. WILKINSON UTILITIES - A collection of programs by Wilkinson Enterprise. LABELPRT.V1.7 - An excellent label printer program designed to print labels of your choice using the internal fonts in your printer. It can also send plain ASCII data in mode so that any printer can be used. Label Printer has 2 modes, one-off prints and prints from the database stored on disk. Databases can hold up to 200 labels and files may be reformatted into different sizes without any loss of data. Features a very comprehensive drop-down menu type window and some printer drivers are also included. Also includes an easy to use configuration program. MUNROIST V1.1 - A specialist database program which stores information about the number of mountains climbed by the user. MUNROIST contains pre-loaded information on 517 Scottish mountains, made up of 277 Munros and 240 peaks over 3000ft. Many options such as edit, search, stats and much more. RECBASE V1.3b - A customised database for storing details of your record collection. Each database file can store details of up to 200 records and several files can be held on one disk. Recbase is operated by pull-down menu system and short cut keys are available for the most frequently used options. Full docs included. ST_DIARY V1.6 - A very comprehensive program with many features not found in other programs of this type. ST Diary will continue to function for more than 1 year and will automatically adjust for leap years and a standard DS/DD disk will hold two complete years of diary/calender data. Options include browsing through a page at a time or jumping to a specific date. Each page is laid out like a conventional diary with a double page being displayed on screen. Very easy to use and well documented. VIDBASE V.3 - Almost identical to Recbase, but customised for use with video tapes rather than records. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 8 - MICRO HAUS - A massive 256 colour animations created on the PC. This is essentially an advert for Micro Haus Limited. It features their logo spinning in the third dimension and cutting right through itself in a most spectacular fashion. The animation runs to 226 frames and needs 4 Meg of memory and a hard drive. It s such a tight squeeze that it only just runs with the supplied player. You will not be able to load it into an animation package unless you have more than 4 Meg The Wild Demo by The Wild Boys - An impressive British multi part demo (a rarity nowadays!). Features eight sub demos. Good music, graphics and special effects. Clip Art MUSIC in IMG format. Files are AAAA2 BAND BIGGIRL DANCER DRUMMER DRUMMER2 DRUMMER3 GROUP GROUP2 PERM PERM2 PIANIST PIANIST2 PIANIST3 PIANIST4 SINGER SPREADEM TRANNI2 TRANNIE TRUMPET TRUMPET2 GUITAR01 GUITAR02 GUITAR03 GUITAR04 GUITAR05 GUITAR06 GUITAR08 GUITAR09 GUITAR10 GUITAR11 GUITAR12 GUITAR13 SINGER SINGER2 SINGER3 SINGER4 SINGER5 SINGER6 SINGER7 SINGER8 SINGER9 SINGSONG ARMADILO BIKE01 BIKE02. REJOINDER V1.3 by William Wong - A very comprehensive QWK off-line reader. This is a complete version featuring GEM menus, windows, dialog boxes, toolbars, hotkeys, fast window redaws, the ability to view or reply to up to 5 different mails at any one time, online context sensitive help with ST Guide and much more! Rejoinder gives the user full configuration of preferred compression programs and has the ability to automatically recognise the type (lzh, zip, arc etc) of QWK files being uploaded and call up the apropriate one for unpacking. Also included is a TALK feature (you must have SPEAK.TOS in your startup directory) which will read out mails in conferences. This program has many, many more features and is highly recomended. TERMINOLGY by Paul Foster - An excellent Shareware communications program which will run on ALL Atari machines. This program offers many options including the choice of several terminal emulations (there is currently support for TTY, VT52, ANSI, IGS, RIP and VIEWDATA). User defined options include audio on/off, RS232 settings, system options, edit paths, macros, capture setup, autodialer, batch queue, extensive keyboard control. Terminology also supports scrollback, file transfer, split screen chatting and has a built-in text editor. Extensive docs included. Terminology is colour only and needs 1 Mb. POWER Issue 26 - This diskmag has greatly improved since it went bi-monthly. It has kept all the regulars and has improved by introducing a bit more of what the public want. There's a great Jaguar special which tells you about all the latest releases, an article on add-ons, a look at sports titles available and an excellent report about how the Jaguar fared at C.E.S. There's a Star Trek special which includes a Klingon language tutorial, interviews with the crew, 'borg jokes and more. There are cheats and solutions for Hero Quest, Faery Tale, Enchanted Cottage and The Domes of Sha. There's interviews with Martin Milner of 999 Software and Space Cowboy of Digital Era. The Fun and Humour section looks at pop stars' dress sense and the rules of life. Jargon Buster explains computer Jargon. All regulars continue with News, Letters, PD Informer, Talking Point, The Messenger, Satellite News, Competitions, Adverts and Chit Chat with Bob Kell and Ben Callaghan. Reviews include Logic Speedmouse 3, Springy Thing, Cartoon Capers, Max, Pengi, Revival plus many more. DGDB - A Gauntlet type game. Does not run under TOS 1.2. FIRESTORM - Guide your spacecraft through a hail of fireballs. LAZER CHESS - A strategy game played on a chess board. Full instructions included. WHEEL OF FORTUNE - A word game based on the American game show of the same name. BARBARIAN LIVES - A cheat routine for Barbarian I from Psygnosis. A certain amount of strategic planning is also necessary to beat the game. It works well, you can't lose a life unless you fall into the pit to the left of Necron, so be warned. UNDER BERKWOOD by Paperback Software. A game similar to "Fred" on the eight-bit machines. Good game which includes an editor program. Written in compiled GFA Basic. Souce code in GFA Basic and a set of alternative graphics are stored on disk in archived form and must be decompressed before use. It is not necessary to use these to play the game. STOS STARTER PACK 3 by Ralph Effemey - Even more STOS source to play around with. SUBMARINE - Take command of a submarine in this warfare simulation. LUNAR PENAL COLONY 7 - A strategic adventure set in Outer Space. ROBOACTIVE - Command a star fleet and save the Earth. As usual, all games are incomplete and intended as a study guide to STOS programmers. Obviously you need STOS Basic in order to use this disk. Highly recommended. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 13 - Contains the following fonts:- QUICKIE, SONOR, SOUSA, SOUSA ITALIC, SOUSA BOLD, SOUSA BOLD ITALIC, SQUIRREL, SQUIRREL BOLD, STENCIL, STOMP, SURFER, SURFER BOLD, T-BIRD. S-FALC.4252 S-FALC.4253 SPACE JUNK DEMO by Imagitec - A demo of a forthcoming game. It starts off with a short background story presented as a Star Wars type scroller then it s on to the main computer. Both the graphics and stereo sound in Space Junk are great so here s hoping the finished game lives up to the same. The demo introduces you to your character and you begin your quest. The only user interaction is when you meet two rather unsavoury looking characters the first of whom is hanging upside down You are required to say something to them to proceed. Select the correct options from the four offered to proceed. Select any of the other three and the game appears to lock up. Once you ve successfully passed the second alien it proceeds to a few short scenes from the game and an advert for it. Supplied on 3 HD disks Space Junk needs a hard drive. THE PHALEON GIGADEMO by Next - This massive demo collection comes on four double sided disks! It consists of 33 individual demos, one of which is STE only, and a reset demo. The collection is compiled by Next but has contributions by almost 30 top European demo crews. The gigademo begins its life as a Next emulator, and a pretty impressive looking one too! You are then presented with the first menu from which you can select a maze, an alternative main menu and a few other bits and pieces. If you just press Space, this leads you to a screen which resembles the scenery from Shadow Of The Beast. This is the first main menu. Move using the cursor keys or joystick. Each of the 17 doors leads to a demo and Space/Fire enters the demo. At the end of the first menu is a teleporter. Just walk into it to get to the second menu which contains 10 demos. The 11th door leads to the third menu which contains another 6 demos. The menus are superbly done and the demos are fairly mixed. They range from OK to brilliant. THE JURASSIC COLLECTION by The Golden Otter - A massive collection of over 130 very high quality scanned images of Dinosaurs and prehistoric mammals such as the early descendants of man, cats, dogs,sheep, rabbits, cattle and elephants. There's also a few examples of early fish and plant life. This collection is ideally suited for educational use. All files are in IMG format and are intended for use within a Desktop Publishing program. A Floppyshop exclusive. THE INDEPENDENT JPEG GROUP'S JPEG SOFTWARE V5 - The latest revision of the top compression method for storing True Colour pictures. It is supplied as a ZIP file and requires ST Zip on UTL.3093 to decompress. The entire package includes C source code, executables and documentation on the JPEG file format. The archive decompresses to over 1200K in total but may be split between two floppies if need be. You are permitted to use these sources within your own commercial programs. MINT V1.14.7 - The complete C sources to MINT v1.142 as used in Multi-TOS. These sources are freely distributable but there are a number of restrictions on the redistribution of executables derived from them. The MINT sources run to over 900k, so they too have been compressed using ST Zip. AFTP V1.4B1 by J T Krivankove - A GEM based ftp client for use with MintNet FALC.5569 . Put simply it lets you connect to ftp sites on the Internet to up/download files. This version has lots of extras including the ability to receive commands from a CLI or CAB a hotlist of your favourite sites drag and drop between local and remote drives and the use of different fonts. It requires MintNet and an AV aware Desktop Thing Gemini NeoDesk 4 Ease etc . ANTGNVAX - Replacement RSCs for AntMail from the WWW Access Pack on FALC.5420 so that the display looks correct under the Geneva multi-tasking OS. Unless you have Geneva you ll see no difference by using these BACKPLAY by Gary Priest - Allows you to listen to all those sound samples on the Web. It works in conjunction with NED PLAYER and unlike similar programs plays the sound without opening a windows and therefore avoids mucking up CAB. It simply works by passing the filename from CAB to NED PLAYER. BACKPLAY requires a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC or Multi-TOS and of course you ll need NED PLAYER too. CACHE ED V0.5 by Manfred Ssykor - A support program for use with the Crystal Atari Browser. When on-line with CAB all pages and associated graphics are saved to the cache directory under less than helpful names. This utility identifies the pages/graphics by name and lets you copy them to another location of your choice. Invaluable if you use CAB. FRAC IRC V1.10 by Tim Putnam - A GEM based IRC client for use with STiK. It lets you connect to the real-time on-line chat service which runs on the Internet. In fact atari is a lively place to be It lets you set up your entire configuration using a series of menus rather than the ancient script files. Up to 10 IRC or DCC channels can be accessed at any timeJust about everything can be customised and you can even send files directly from one user to another via DCC transfers. Needs STiK on FALC.5420. XURL V2.40 - Extracts all URL references from the selected text file and places them into an HTML document. Its main use is to extract URLs from your mail or news files created by Oasis and place then in an HTML file so that they can be clicked from within CAB to take you directly to the URL without the need to retype. Obviously CAB is needed in order to make use of XURL. QWKBAK V0.1 by Simon Coward - Creates backups of QWK format as used on most bulletin boards incoming and outgoing mail and saves them as dated files. This prevents the old QWK files being overwritten every time you log on. Invaluable if you need to backtrack to find out what someone said in their last message or what you replied Use in conjunction with Kivi FALC.5232 or similar. JPEG.OVL by Dieter Fiebelkorn - This module for use with CAB allows you to use Brainstorm s JPEG decoder included on disk to decode JPG files contained within HTML files. A JPG typically loads 10 times faster with this module installed. SDUU by Guy Harrison - Simply drop and archive or uuencoded file onto this program and it will automatically work out whether or not it is already uuencoded and uu de/en code it as required. WENSUITE V2.40b by OXO Concept - At last an alternative to the CAB browser not that there s anything wrong with CAB . This version looks very similar to CAB is fully HTML compliant and directly compatible with NetScape 2. This demo version is a complete implementation of the package with the only restriction being that it is restricted to viewing pages off-line. The full version is available direct from 16/32 Systems. HELL S BBS V0.84 - A Falcon specific BBS. It is fully ANSI/VT102 compliant and supports the English French and German languages. Everything you need to run your own BBS except for a text editor almost any can be used and an external file transfer protocol GSZZRZ on FALC.4454 recommended . Almost everything can be customised to suit via the configuration files. Docs are almost non-existent but program looks very capable. THE BOURNEMOUTH POSTSCRIPT COLLECTION DISK 6 - Contains the following Sans Serif Fonts:- ERASE BOOK, ERASE BOLD, ERASE DEMI, ERASE LIGHT, ERASE MEDIUM, ERASE ULTRA, LETTER GOTHIC BOLD SLANTED, LETTER GOTHIC BOLD, LETTER GOTHIC SLANTED, LETTER GOTHIC, GILL SANS BOLD ITALIC, GILL SANS BOLD, GILL SANS ITALIC, GILL SANS LIGHT ITALIC, GILL SANS LIGHT, GILL SANS, NEW GOTHIC BOLD OBLIQUE, NEW GOTHIC BOLD, NEW GOTHIC OBLIQUE, NEW GOTHIC, OCR, OSWALD GREY ITALIC, OSWALD GREY. SHARPSCORE V3.2A by Take Control - A top class DTP package for score writing. It lets you place notes directly onto the staves and add text (using the range of fonts and point sizes supported by your system) to your compositions. Your finished work may then be printed out using GDOS. MIDI files may be imported and Sharpscore will automatically convert them into sheet music ready for printing. Similarly, your compositions may be saved as MIDI files and played through the built-in speaker or output via one of a number of sampling cartridges. if you do not have a MIDI instrument attached. This package offers an extensive amount of control over both the composition and DTP side of your music making and is very highly recommended. Please note Sharpscore only runs from floppy and does not exit legally. Also, you should ensure you boot up from the floppy as it contains GDOS fonts necessary for the display of your musical notes. Don't try using Speedo or NVDI unless you know how to get the supplied (bitmap) fonts working with your setup! All save and print functions are disabled in this demo version. Needs 2Mb. Two disk set 3.00. THAT'S WRITE FONTS - A collection of fonts for use with That's Write from Compo and laser printers. Fonts are LZS_1, LZS2, LZS3, LZS4, LZS5, LZS9, LZS10, LZS11 and SZS_1, SZS2, SZS3, SZS4, SZS5, SZS9, SZS10, SZS11. THE ELECTION OVERDRIVE DEMO by The Moskavites - A collection of screens spread over two disks. Everything is written in good old STOS and there is only one screen which has a scroller (a welcome relief!). The screens all follow on each other, just press Space to move on. The only one this doesn't work for is the fractals screen which cannot be exited (you have to wait until it has finished). One of the screens involves clicking the mouse over a number of pictures in order to listen to various pieces of digitised speech. There is also a screen with a sample and picture of John Major! The rest of the demo has a couple of 512 colour pictures and a combination of chip and sampled music. Stereo sound can be sent out through the STE stereo jacks or to a stereo cartridge or via a sampling cartridge to your Hi-Fi on an STFM. Be ready to swap the disks when prompted, otherwise the demo will terminate (you don't get long!). This two disk demo is an example of what is possible with STOS from one of the smaller coding groups. Needs 1 Meg. A shareware C Compiler . Mark Johnson C v2.3. This is an excellent disk for the beginner to C. It also saves you a lot of money. This is a full implementation. If not familiar with C, please use with disks C.07 - C.09. Thanks to Terry Billany for obtaining this updated version from the States. This disk is dual format. The programs are all available to single sided drive owners but you can only access the documentation if you have a double sided drive. NOT TOS 1.4 upwards. PEEKABOO V1.7 - A file viewer which runs as an ACC or PRG and lets you browse through ASCII or binary files in a GEM window. Searches can be made on text or for ASCII characters within a binary file. STARJET.CDT - A Starjet SJ-48 printer driver for Calamus. ZIP24QWK - Removes the lengthy pause after loading ST Zip v2.4. This patch is only of use for v2.4 of ST Zip. Other versions do not have this problem. ASCDRAW v1.52 - Allows you to create boxes and line drawings as used on the PC or on BBS screens. What makes it so flexible is that you can superimpose the boxes over an existing text file and you can cut out your creations as blocks and perform most of the usual block functions found in art packages. ICONEDIT V3.0 by Stefan Manch - A powerful icon editor for creating or editing Desktop icons for TOS 2 upwards, mouse pointers or sprites. It has all the usual drawing tools and is supplied with 46 ready made icons. Icons can be imported from RSC files or loaded in ICO format. Although TOS puts a limit on the size of icons, Iconedit allows massive icons to be edited, almost up to the size of the screen! The program and docs are German but its operation is easy to get to grips with. FIXER V1.3 by David Trudgian - Fixes the medium res (or lack of it!) bug in TOS 1.6. SORT by Leo de Wit - Sorts ASCII files into alphabetical order. Numerous parameters may be specified, allowing the user extensive control over the process. Best run from a CLI. VERSADIR by D W Binnion - A directory printer program which can send output to screen, disk or printer. You can have it print the directory of a specified drive or folder and can choose whether or not the contents of sub-folders are required in the print out. TOPICON4 - Changes the menu line on the Desktop to say what you want it to say (instead of Desk File View Options)! TOWERS II V1.2b by JV Enterprises - The long awaited followup to Towers I on FALC.4352. You begin with film-like credits and choose which of the four characters you want to be. As you progress through the dungeons there are objects to collect and use guards to fight doors to unlock or open and spells to collect and perform. There are secret doors hidden in walls chains to pull armour to wear and friendly characters to interact with. Each character has its own strengths and weaknesses and you must choose wisely. You have to remember to eat and sleep when necessary and watch your strength otherwise you ll die an agonising death As you progress you will find stairs leading to the upper floors of the tower and can pinpoint your location on any floor at any time by using the map feature. Only a limited number of objects can be carried but there is a way of increasing your carrying capacity. Unlike its predecessor Towers II only runs on the Falcon. Although the program is very similar in concept to Dungeon Master on the ST calling it a clone would be an insult. Towers II has better graphics better sound effects an atmospheric soundtrack more intuitive controls much smoother animation and improved gameplay over Dungeon Master. It you re into role playing games this may be the only game you ll ever play on any computer This is the full version of Towers II but you will only be able to progress up to a certain point without registering. Registration is available in the UK and is recommended in order to fully appreciate this unbelievable game. Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. BOOGEY MAN II - Starts off with an amusing intro. Guide the snake around the playing area, collecting the required amount of coke cans to progress to the next level. Avoid nasties and keep away from the walls. Fast action in this 20 level game. Great fun! DROOLIG - A text adventure created with AGT. Droolig is a mean old dwarf who has stolen the King's treasure. Whoever returns the treasure from the labyrinth gains the hand of the Princess and half the loot. INTERNATIONAL CRICKET - The sound of leather on willow. Choose your team and your opponents and battle it out on an international stage. Fully mouse controlled. STOS source included. JETSET WILLY by Paul Taylor and Carl Whitwell - Look what we've unearthed from the archives! Jetset Willy was a classic with a cult following on the Spectrum and C64, there was even a followup though I can't remember its name. The game was converted to the ST in the mid eighties but the publishing house (Software Projects) pulled the plug on it before release. Although unreleased, the game was completed. Software Projects are long since departed and the authors have decided to release the game for all to enjoy. It is identical to the 8-bit version but has lost none of its original addictiveness. The only drawback is that it comes with no instructions. You have to wander through about 50 levels of platforms and ladders collecting objects as you go. A certain number of objects must be collected before you are allowed to go to bed. There's a timer and needless to say, you must complete your task before bed time. Does anyone else have any unreleased classics looking for a home? SOLOMON'S QUEST by Deano - Another one from the archives. This is a text based adventure game wriiten with the STOS Adventure Creator in the pre-Silly Software days. You play the part of a cave-dwelling barbarian. A Princess has been kidnapped and the King's gold stolen. You are assigned to retrieve both, along with a golden scroll. Worse still, you have to kill the wicked witch. A traditional adventure game. GIN RUMMY by Deano - The computer version of the popular card game in which you have to try to get four cards of one kind and three of another. Your opponent is the computer. Excellent graphics and a choice of ten tunes to listen to. Fairly well documented too. ZUC ACCRUL'S QUEST by the U-Foes - A graphic adventure created using the STAC adventure writing system and Deluxe Paint. Full instructions are contained within the program. Does not run on TOS 1.6 or later. Silents UK Music Demo - A collection of 7 original MOD compositions by Silents UK on the Amiga, ST Conversion by Kerni.

SHARP ARCHIVES V1.1.1 by R Tracht - Allows you to transfer data between the Atari and most Sharp pocket computers PC-1245 1251 1350 1401 1402 1403 1450 . It supports the tranfer of both programs and data making it an ideal development tool. The suggested use is for developing Sharp Basic programs on the Atari and porting them back. Another use is of course for porting ASCII text in both directions. A special cable is required in order to transfer via the parallel port. Full instruction on the construction of the cable are included but you ll need to be handy with a soldering iron. GEM based and easy to use but program and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation. TAKEOFF V2.07 by Thomas Small and Oliver Scheel - Another Mac OS inspired utility. It runs as an ACC and has slots for up to 32 programs each of which can be buried in folders up to 16 deep. Each program has a 16 character alias which appears in the drop down menu. If Gemini is installed you can walk through the relevant directories to reach the file and indeed move to any file in any related directory. Needs to be used with a VA protocol aware Desktop such as Gemini Thing or NeoDesk so that the applications can be launched. Also works under Multi-TOS and MagiC. Docs in German but we ve done a RUF translation. 2ND LIFE V0.6 by Sander Berents - A fully functional emulator for the Tandy TRS-80 Model III a Z80 based 8-bit computer which came out around 1981. It claims to run nearly all Model III software and includes three virtual disks with software for you to run.

These include the ability to launch certain programs at specified times carry out pre-defined tasks and such like. It can watch for data on the AUX MODEM1 MODEM2 MODEM3 MODEM4 and MIDI ports and take appropriate action as specified in your setup. The program is really designed for use under Multi-TOS or MagiC but can also run as an ACC under single TOS. Looks very useful but both program and docs are in German although we ve done a RUF translation of the docs .

FONTSEL V1.09 by Holger Weets Christoph Zwerschke - An attempt at a universal Speedo GDOS font selector. Many programs call up the GEM file selector or your chosen alternative when you wish to choose a font. With Fontsel installed it is called up instead offering a simple choice of font names point sizes and text attributes from a simple menu. You can also preview standard text or indeed the entire character set of your font displayed at the chosen size from within Fontsel. Other useful information is also given about the selected font. Even if your GDOS application refuses to hook into Fontsel in place of its own font selector it s still worth running as an ACC due its enhanced features. VIDEL INSIDE VI V2.04 by Fran ois Galea - The most powerful software based resolution booster on the market. It increases the screen resolution on RGB monitors/TVs up to 1664x595 ST mono monitors up to 768x1024 and VGA/SVGA monitors up to 864x768 . The actual maximum resolution will differ from one monitor to another.

You must switch off your machine for at least 30 seconds before running this demo or you will experience odd (even disasterous) effects! Stereo soundtrack (if you have an STE) plays throughout most of the demo. Although this demo will run on an STFM, the best bits are STE only and are replaced with blank screens on the STFM! BILLY BOY by Tony Greenwood - Unlike many of his recent releases, Billy Boy is aimed fairly and squarely at children. It's a simple platformer where you avoid the nasties (or jump on them) and collect everything in sight! The aim is simple, to find the guardian at the end of the level, then its onto the next level. Of course you can get killed but the game is more concerned with building up points, collecting bonuses and finding your way to the guardian, than spilling blood 'n' guts all over the monitor! It's best described as a 'happy' game for kids. Excellent graphics and music (sampled sound on the STE). One to enjoy! DON'T BANK ON IT - An adventure game by Ruth Sunderland written using STAC. Can you help wheeler dealer Harry Pratt with his get rich quick schemes? This version is complete apart from the fact that you can't save your position. A full version is avaliable from the author.

GNU C/C++ V2.33 - A combined package which provides a complete working environment for developing GNU C, GNU C++ and Objective C based applications. There is no need to use separate compilers, it's all integrated with this package. Unlike previous versions, this package is extensively documented (in ASCII, DVI, MANpage and ST-Guide formats) with comprehensive information on setting up the system and how to use it. In fact even the individual commands are all explained in the manual, making it an excellent programmer's guide. GNU C/C++ is fully ANSI compatible and exists on almost every computer platform, making the code easily portable from one machine to another. Although this package was originally designed for use from a CLI type interface, a GEM based front end (GNU-Shell v2.2) is now available and has been included with the package. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive (full installation requires 12 Mb!). Statistics - A mathematical program. Originally written in German, there is an English manual within the program.

Hardcopy - Sends every charcharter typed on screen to the printer as well. STOSSER Issue #1 (April 1993) - With the decline of the regular monthly ST magazines, PD disk magazines are becoming a more vital source of information for users, and their popularity is mushrooming. STOSSER is a new magazine that is exclusively for STOS users, and it is produced on a monthly basis. It is written by Steve Gooding, Tony Greenwood, and Matthew Green. The user interface consists of a menu screen from which you simply click onto the article you want to read. It is then displayed page by page. The magazine kicks off with a series on learning STOS. It's aimed directly at the beginner since it assumes you only know how to load STOS! There's also a review of the Misty STOS extension, the first part of a detailed article on using variables in STOS, a wants and swaps column, an article about Robotics in STOS, a STOS contacts column and various other STOS related pieces. The disk is filled with loads of STOS routines including 4 different scrollers, speech in your own programs and a mass of other giveaways. The authors promise to release the source to each issue's interface in the next issue, thus enticing you to get the next issue! This is an essential read for STOS users. S-FALC.5410 DBA MAG 14 - Yes it s another double-disk release from the Disk Busters Association. This issue has 74 articles 9 pictures and a choice of 4 MODs to listen to. It starts up with a Microbox Windows v0.95 logo and jingle The entire disk-mag is modelled on the Windows 95 Desktop and is rather unnerving to say the least. The only apparent difference is that this version actually runs on a 4 Mb machine This issue is crammed full as usual.

There's a 5 record/ 15 minute restriction on use in the demo. HARRIS WENT SKIING By Ollysoft - You have to guide Harris across a busy road and back to buy his skis then it's on to the downhill slopes, avoiding trees etc (based on an old Spectrum game).

FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 19 - An excellent 256 colour animation created on the PC. TEST 3B - This is another of those animations which fills the entire disk. It is titled Architectural Visualisation and depicts the building of an office block. It starts off with a near photographic quality backdrop with the main supports rising from the ground. The roof is dropped into place followed by the walls. One of the best animations in our collection. Needs 4 Meg. The BaPAUG demo from the Bournemouth and Poole Atari User Group . Demo - An animated sprite of a man walking. Five animated demos created using Cyber Paint - Newton's Cradle, Car, Dino4, Mickey and Tesla. Single sided. The Amazing Cracking Conspiracy Demo III . Music and pictures.Music plays via monitor and Midi (if attached). Space Ace demo by the Glasgow Computer Centre. Animated cartoon with digi-sound. FOOTBALL MAGIC by The Untouchables - A well presented football manager type game. You can buy and sell players, pick your team, check out league tables and so ut don't forget to balance the books! This program is unique in that it shows you the highlights of the game as a digitised animation. Full source code in GFA Basic is included. The games on this disk are all former BUDGIE UK titles. Text Editors . Context v1 &v2, Pedit v1, Proedit v1. A must for C and 68000 programmers alike. Sedit v3.3 and Gsedit v4. Two excellent text editors with a 26 page manual on disk. They are both essentially the same program but one is Gem based and the other is not. The Gem based version is quite good when used as a word processor and is much faster at scrolling through a document than First Word. TCB Tracker modules with player program . Files are JUSTLOVE D_STAR RSI_RISE THEME TOXOPLA ZOO POPCORN VITA APOLOGY ENEMIES GIRLSONG ILLUSION JJK107 MADMAZE. DYNABUSTERS + by Scynacore - A Shareware game for up to six players. Guide your man around the playing field dropping sticks of dynamite at strategic locations in order to destroy walls or other players. There are many objects to collect, some of which assist your progress and others retard it. Add this to the fact that you are playing against the clock and have a limited supply of dynamite and you'll see that a fair bit of planning is needed too! STE ONLY, Needs 1 Meg. DYSPROSM by Team Brindlbeast - Your aim is to fight off 100 waves of attacking aliens as they move horizontally across the screen. The further you progress into the game, the faster the aliens come and the more often they return your fire. There are no bonuses or power-ups it's just shoot at everything that moves. Can your joystick handle it? ORIGAMI - A GEM based text editor. This is a folding or outline editor. You can "collapse" text so that only headings are visible, then open up for editing. The "folds" can even be separate files. Intended for programmers, Origami understands several languages, but has no word wrap so is not for general word processing. A mega program with documentation to match along with comprehensive reconfiguration and macro features. ST-EDT - A text editor for programmers. It is basically microemacs tailored to look like EDT (as used on DEC mainframe systems). Includes documentation. ELVIS 1.4 - An almost perfect clone of the standard UN*X text editor "vi". Includes comprehensive documentation. Idiosyncratic interface but worth learning if you work with "real" computers (or hope toto PAMPHLET LITE v0.9 - Prints text in landscape mode, two columns and double sided, ready for folding into an A5 booklet. Unfortunately it only works with the HP Deskjet (for other printers try MANUAL on UTL.186). THE ATG MEGADEMO - A 2 disk set. Features 11 sub-demos (including a reset demo). All demos are of a remarkably high standard. Use the cursor keys to choose the required demo and Space to load it. When the background on the loading screen turns purple, press Space again to enter the demo. This is the second (and regrettably the last) demo from ATG and it took about six months to write. PROJECT DRAGON by Bill Croan - The text file on disk is a detailed description of how Bill started out with a scanned picture, imported it into an art package, re-sized it and coloured it. The tutorial is very in depth and includes 12 NEO pictures showing intermediate stages of development and a Cyber Paint SEQ file with 101 frames. The SEQ file can be loaded into the player on disk and will build up from a bare bones scan to a full colour picture before your eyes. The tutorial gives plenty of hints and tips and is ideally suited to the budding artist. Although NEOChrome and Cyber Paint are mentioned throughout the tutorial, you can use any art program which loads NEO files. CIA WORLD FACTBOOK 1990 - A massive collection of useful data on no less than 249 different countries throughout the world. Each entry details geographical, political, economic, military and other data for the respective country. This three disk set represents a wealth of information on the world in which we live. Highly recommended. ARTHUR OF THE BRITONS - A Shareware game by Ralph Effemy. You explore the four lands, trying to keep Arthur and his men alive. As you progress, you will encounter sub games, such as an archery tournament or a target shooting section. You may visit villages and attack enemy castles, making this a very good historical simulation. A mouse controlled game which goes into a great deal of depth. Needs 1 Meg. Highly recommended. You must disconnect Drive B and your hard drive before running this program. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 45 - Another two animations created with Autodesk Animator. PUNCHMA2 - A rather wooden-looking man moves forward and then throws a punch at the screen. Set on a 3D background with a shadow following the figure s movements. BLIND - A venetian blind effect which reveals a poster of a car superimposed upon a countryside backdrop. The picture appears and disappears as if someone were opening and closing the blind. Needs 4 Meg. SUBSTATION by Unique Developments - A playable demo of the STE Falcon s first Doom clone. It s the usual scenario of wandering around a maze shooting at everything that moves and collecting things. You are armed with only a dagger and a pistol and must brave the elements and save the world or something like that. Gameplay follows much the same lines as the PC version of Doom but with some compromises. This demo is fully playable but limited to a single level and it exits to the Desktop each time you lose a life. RAINBOW II MULTIMEDIA by Addiction Software - A usable demo of the followup to Rainbow. This latest version retains all the features of the original and adds several new studios. The photo studio offers a number of image processing filters and the sound studio is complete sound sampling software which is as capable as most. The game studio features Skulls an old STE minesweeper clone by the authors of Rainbow. The slideshow studio allows scripts to be made up and supports the inclusion of sound in your slideshows. The sprite studio is a fully fledged sprite designer and includes most of the tools from the picture studio. Rainbow II appears to be fully usable with the exception that Save is disabled. SUPERSAM V1.0 by Daniel Hastings - A superb sound sample recording and editing package. It can load and save samples in AVR RAW inc SAM SND SPL IFF AU WAV and VOC formats. Here s just a few of SuperSam s features - handles 8-bit mono 8-bit stereo and 16-bit stereo samples uses the GEM clipboard for cut and paste operations can sign/unsign samples can boost or reduce volume zoom into samples for finer editing swap channels on a stereo sample shift sample playback frequency samples directly from the microphone socket edit left and right channels separately batch conversion between file formats can pan the stereo image from left to right or vice versa. These are only a few of SuperSam s features making it one of the most fully featured sound sampling packages available. All Save facilities are disabled in this demo everything else is fully functional. BANG - A puzzle game where you must find the hidden mines on a grid without uncovering them, in a race against the clock. Each time you uncover a section of the screen, you need to interpret the information given. It becomes very difficult on the higher levels. Very addictive and infuriating! CAPITAL - Invest wisely in shares as you try to amass more money than your opponents. QUIZ CONSTRUCTION KIT by Andrew Oakley - Designed for both children and adults, this program allows the user to design and take part in their own multiple choice quizzes. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are FLAGS, FLAGS1X, FLAGS2X, FLAG_US, FLASH_UP, FLASK, FLEURD1, FLEURD2, FLOUR, FLOW, FLOWERS, FLPYDISK, FLYBOY, FLYHORSE, FM_GEN_E, FM_GEN_I, FONT1, FONT2, FONT3, FONT4, FONT5, FONT_CAI, FONT_MOB, FOOD2, FOODLAID, FOODPREP, FOODSYM, FOOD_1, FOOD_EAT, FOOT, FORMULA, FORTHRI, FOURLEAF, FOX_2, FRAME1, FRAME2, FRAME3, FREDFLIN, FREE, FROGGY, FROGS. ALESIS D4 DRUMSET EDITOR v3.0 by Lubos Tilka - Allows easy editing of this drum module. It lets you to edit all 21 drumsets of the D4 as well as the trigger setup and remap a program table. Emphasis is on ease of use, you do not have to use the D4 edit buttons, data wheel and display. These are all handled on your computer screen using the mouse and keyboard instead. If that's not enough, the program also acts as an archiver, allowing you to back up D4 data. This latest version can receive SYSEX dumps directly from the D4 and can also change global parameters such as MIDI Thru, Program Change and Controllers. Looks good, pity we don't have an Alesis D4 to try it out on! MIDIPLAY by Alexander Seitz - A standard MIDI file player with control over MIDI channels, voices, tempo etc. Demo version with some facilities disabled. German dialogue. THE PIANO PLAYER by Peter Bogner - Yet another standard Midi file player. What makes this one so different is that the keys on a piano keyboard (on screen) are highlighted appropriately as each note is played, hence the name of the program. Easy to use, but with instructions built into program. MMPIDEMO by Lorien Dunn - Microtonal MIDI Performance Instrument! It patches alternative tuning systems into MIDI. This is a demo version with no save but the manual extract on disk will get you started. If you want to read more about this subject try the extensive text file on MID.4217. PLAYBACK v1.1 - A standard MIDI file player by John Janssen. Not a very pretty interface but well featured and it does the job. DTONATOR v3.0 by T Rochebois - A complete editor for the Roland D5, D10, D20, and D110. Very plain interface but all the necessary parameters are there on one screen making it easy to use. CALAMUS SUPPORT DISKS 6 & 7. ADEQUATE SYSTEMS MODULES - A collection of (mostly) demo add on modules for use with the 1993 release of Calamus SL. They only work with that version of SL. If you own the 1994 version, you need the corresponding modules on S-UTL.5914 & S- UTL.5915. All modules are in German but we've done a RUF translation of what little docs there are. Most docs are supplied as (German) HLP files for use with Calamus's on-line hypertext Help module which is included with the demo version of SL. Most are full implementations apart from the fact that they print the Adequate Systems logo over your page. Some have different/other restrictions. The full versions of these modules may be ordered from Image Applications (the new distributors of Calamus in the UK). EDDIE - A demo version of a text editor which can be used to replace PKSWrite. The interface is rather strange at first but don't let that put you off. It's just brimming with features. With the demo version you can edit text and try out the features but you can't place the text back into the document. EDDIE.FNT - The Eddie text editor can use different fonts. This font is an alternative to the one supplied with the demo. FILTER - This module adds basic image processing features to Calamus by way of external filters (9 are supplied). It's difficult to know what the individual filters do and what restrictions apply but it should be fun to play around with them! HIGHRES - Lets you resize bitmapped graphics to any resolution. The main purpose of this is to optimise the graphic for printer output. Highres scores in that it enhances the graphic (as far as is possible) to compensate for the higher resolution and avoid the usual blocky result when the frame size is maintained but the resolution increased. Also features an improved version of the print dialog which supports background printing amongst other things. MERGE - Allows you to create various effects with text frames by applying colour in a number of unique ways. A little difficult trying to work out what you're doing without a good English-German dictionary! PAINT - You can set any colour to be transparent, clone areas on an image, change the density of any colour or apply watercolour, oil paint or fade out effects to your image. SUCH_SET - Various Search & Replace extensions, presumably for use with the Eddie text editor. TIFF DEMO - A TIFF printer driver which lets you export your page in monochrome or colour as a TIFF image. It also lets you specify the compression method used, whether to output in RGB or CMYK and much more. PATCHES - Five Freeware and Shareware utilities for enhancing the use of the 1993 and 1994 releases of Calamus SL. Unlike the other files on the disk, these are not mere demos. CALAPAT2 - Fixes a bug which meant the CTRL, SHIFT and ALT were ignored if text was input too fast (eg; at the speed of a typist). FPU_SL - Patches SL to run under MagiCMac on PCI based PowerMacs. FORM_PAT - Fixes a bug which resulted in Calamus incorrectly rounding down the dimensions of some paper sizes. RELOPAT - Fixes bugs which caused Calamus to crash when running under MagiCMac on a 68040 machine with the Copy Back cache switched on. BOMBADIL - Fixes various bugs in both the 1993 and 1994 releases of SL. These include bugs transferring to/from the clipboard, incorrect conversion of v1.09 documents, the intercepting document structure errors, stabilising use under MagiC/MagiCMac and a few other more obscure bugs. EAMON - The classic adventure system ported across from the Apple. Includes several complete adventures. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of the adventures provided. A must for ALL adventurers. NOT STE. CRIBBAGE - The card game. BRIDGE IT - A two player game. Build a bridge between the top/bottom or left/right of the board to win. CHIP GAME - Journey to the centre of the ST! A graphic adventure inside your computer. MASTERMIND - The board game using coloured pegs. Very well implemented. ONCE A KING - A text adventure full of comic satire.

Verify- set write verify flag on or off. Z80 Simulator- assembly source code only. MISCELLANEOUS TEXT FILES - This is another of those disks that has no particular theme, but contains lots of snippets of information covering many different aspects of Atari computing. A large part of this disk contains a chunk of Falcon030 information. This includes a detailed description of its custom chips, data on its ports, a list of new OS calls, a list of all screen resolutions, information on sampling, and a full list of the available hardware registers. In addition to the Falcon hardware register file, there is a file that details the hardware registers of ST/STE/MSTE and TT030 too. Other files on this disk include humour in the court room, translation humour, an article talking about justice that focuses on the JFK assassination, a list of 100 witnesses to JFK's death - all of whom mysteriously died, and a set of abstract files on the UFO myths. Technical files on this disk cover publishing your own CD ROM and descriptions of the TARGA and TIFF 5.0 image formats. An interesting disk. ROLLING BLASTERS - A Shareware game by Atte Oksanen. Use the joystick to guide a ball through a number of routes to a goal at the bottom of the screen. Go off the pathway as you try to move quickly and you lose a life, take too long and you will be beaten by the very strict time limit. A frustrating but very addictive and colourful game that looks far easier than it plays and, if you're like me, it will have you tearing your hair out very quickly. Highly recommended.

REVENGE DOCUMENT DISPLAYER v2.27 - One of the best document display systems around, as used by umpteen PD libraries for their catalogues. It can search, scroll, print and even handle packed/encrypted text. RECV_CAN - A recoverable trashcan for Neodesk (should work with any Desktop replacement that lets you put a program icon on the Desktop). RSCCONV v1.2 - Converts .RSH files (from DRI resource construction kit) to C source code for embedding. SHADOW - Copies ROM to RAM for speed of access. TT only, sadly. SPEED_SWITCH - A set of programs and assembler source for speed switching on the Mega STE. UNPACK v1.08B - A universal unpacker.

You need an original of Warp 9 v3.5 to use this program. Clip Art in IMG format. Files are MONST023 to MONST030 and MONST059. STiK WEATHER FORECAST v0.4 by Jim Baumgardner and Dan Ackerman - When used in conjunction with STiK on S-COM.5551 & S-COM.5552, it gives the temperature, barometer, wind speed and humidity (displayed both graphically and as text) for any major US city. It even remembers the city you last requested data for, and uses it as your default setting. Interestingly, the authors are working on a system which will extend coverage to the rest of the world. MG-FTP V1.03 by Michael Guse - An ftp client for use with STiK. It allows you to log onto an ftp server and up/download files. MG-FTP supports both anonymous and password protected logons. The directories on the remote machine are displayed in a window and almost everything is mouse controlled. In fact you can even save your favourite sites in a hotlist so that a simple selection from the list logs you straight on to the server. Please note that Weather Forecast and MG-FTP will not work unless STiK is installed and enabled. Also, both run under either single TOS or multi- tasking environments. You will of course need an account with an Internet Service Provider! STiK TIME by Guy Harrison. Runs as an ACC or PRG (under multi-tasking systems) and appends details of connections via STiK, to NOS.LOG so that CoSTa (on COM.5421) can include them in your call logging. SBCABPRG by Guy Harrison - Install it as an external viewer for CAB (COM.5313). It will then let you intercept files and save them to your chosen destination, rather than have them disappear namelessly into the cache!

FIRESTORM HTML BROWSER V0.049 by Christian Andersson - An early version of an on-line World Wide Web browser. Unfortunately many functions are either incomplete or disabled and it is only possible to dial a pre-programmed Swedish number (from within Sweden). This browser appears to be pre-STiK and CAB although it looks like it could have potential. For non-Swedish users its only real use is as an off-line HTML viewer and even then it doesn't cope with every page thrown at it. GDOS or SpeedoGDOS must be installed in order to use this software. Now with docs in ST-Guide (not included) and HTML formats. KILLING IMPACT - A single level playable demo of the game of the same name. Killing Impact uses an 80 column overscanned screen and features excellent graphics and soundtrack. The game itself involves flying around on a sort of jet ski avoiding bumping into the various nasties and dive-bombing onto them from above to kill them. They can also be shot paralysed or blown up There s quite a variety of nasties to defeat and your aim is to clear the level. This isn t as easy as it sounds especially since various parts of the screen appear inaccessible. Well worth checking out. Full version from the authors. RGB ONLY Needs 4 Mb. POPEYED by Billy - A strip pop quiz. The questions relate to pop music of the 60's and a correct answer removes one item of clothing from a female and lets you view a further scene from a story. Both visual parts of the program have the same basic ending. Great cartoon graphics. ADULT only. THE BRADNESS CROSSWORD DESIGNER & SOLVER - The ultimate program for the crossword enthusiast. Crosswords may be created on 15x15 or 13x13 grids and output to 9-pin or 24-pin printers. Designing and solving presents no problems as documentation is extensive.

BATTLETRIS by New Core - A Tetris clone which runs on any Atari but uses the extended 4096 colour palette and stereo sound when running on the STe/TT/Falcon. Apart from the futuristic style backdrop it follows the original closely with no real variation.

GEM MANAGER 1995/1996 V0.89 by Ivan Glauser - As the name suggests this is a football manager program which runs in a GEM based shell.

This gives you a running commentary text not speech throughout the match and you hear the noise of the crowd and the players on the pitch all in glorious stereo A well thought out football manager game which is multi-tasking friendly runs in any resolution and is customisable to take account of player/manager changes promotion/relegation and such like.

Get all the pills and it s off to the next level in this 21 level challenge. Things are further complicated by bombs which must be avoided. You can play individual levels or just progress through them sequentially. Every time you achieve 500 points you get an extra life and there s a highscore table. Many options can be altered to suit. Packy runs as an ACC or PRG and is multi-tasking friendly too. PUSH IT 2 by Jeremy Gillet - A Sokoban clone where you must push blocks around the playing area and assemble them in a predetermined area in order to progress to the next level. Your character is a marble and this variant is more challenging than most because the playing area is displayed in 3D as an overhead view. It takes a few minutes to synchronise the joystick to your character s movements after that the game becomes enjoyable As is usual for this type of game you must ensure you don t box yourself in Levels may be saved then reloaded so you can continue play at a later date. This game is reminiscent of several popular 3D type commercial games on the ST. A stereo soundtrack plays throughout.

I'm not just saying that because Floppyshop got a mention in the greetings, either! CONNECTICAD DEMO - Don t be put off by the mention of the word demo more on this latter. ConnectiCAD is a Printed Circuit Board PCB design package. The package is German in origin but the RSC has been translated into English. ConnectiCAD comes with a small symbol library and allows you to flip rotate or invert them to suit. Text can be printed at any size or any angle.

Another useful feature is the 7 day summary which gives you an overview of the week ahead. You can even re-schedule diary entries moving them from one date to another. Output is supported to disk or printer. The notepad is merely for jotting down reminders as you work regrettably these cannot be saved. The standalone version of the address book is also on this disk. The calculator and clock programs are on FALC.5826. PLAYBACK v2.x - A cut down ACC version of Print-It v2 on FALC.5826. It merely lets you send the required control codes to the printer. You will need to have or create a printer driver appropriate to your printer using a text editor or Print-It V2.

Its main advantages over Print- It v2 are its smaller memory requirements and ability to be called from within any GEM program.

Tony's back with an article on how to use your modem in a cost effective manner without the need for an Internet account and there's an article on how to get Atari back on the map. This is perhaps the best issue to date and we haven't even mentioned the Music section, Sci- Fi section, all the regular features and more.... S-FALC.3945 S-FALC.3946 THE POV RAYTRACE DEMOS by DML - This is a collection of VERY high quality precision drawn graphics created using POV Raytrace on FALC.3988. All pictures are 384 x 480 24-bit true colour and an excellent 50khz stereo tracker module plays in the background. Switch off the internal speaker to get the best effect. Each disk contains a self running demo. Although the demos run perfectly well from floppy they are at their best running from a hard drive occupying almost 4 Megabytes of space . These demos were created with SLIDEMOD on FALC.3982. NOT VGA. THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES and HIS LAST BOW - Two complete original Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle. Both works are out of copyright and may be freely distributed. Art in IMG format . Files are 1 to 54 and FROG2. Full listing of contents of files on disk. THE SMILE DEMO by Digi Talis - An English demo containing two rave music samples and a scroller. It is however the scroller screen which lets the disk down, as the scoll text is aim more at a adult audience in places. The two samples are clear, and played in conjuction with several layered star field effects. There is also the smiley face, this time wire frame, and not in bright yellow one for once! Over 80 GDOS fonts for numerous different printers . These are designed for use with Fontkit (UTL.40) or Fontkit Plus, the commercial version of the same package. CHECK_M v1.0 by Kellis - Checks to see if you have mail at selected intervals (from 2 to 120 minutes) when you are on-line. You can then check the first 10 lines of any selected message and decide whether or not to download that message. Check_M is for Internet use (alongside STiK) and only works if you have a POP3 account. You must have the STENO text editor installed if running under TOS, any text editor can be used if multi- tasking. Needs at least 1 Mb. CNF CHECK by Brian Hauer - Inspects and verifies configuration files for v0.47 and v0.48 of the Foresight BBS software. Assuming the file passes a verification check, it displays an interpretation of the CNF on screen. You can then spot and correct any errors which are likely to upset Foresight. COMPOTEL V1.E by Francis Pierson - A handy PRG or ACC for maintaining lists of telephone numbers. Any number of telephone numbers may be stored and dialed directly by selecting them from the list. There is also a dialpad which can be used manually to initiate voice or data calls via your modem. When running on a Falcon, the dialing tones can be heard via the speaker, on an ST they are just output directly to the modem. Unfortunately program and docs are in French, but the program is easily understood. DATABLAZE V2.7 by Sherry Mackiewicz - A customised database which holds up to 500 names along with their corresponding email addresses. It has a powerful search facility which only requires a few letters to be typed in order to bring up possible matches. Can be used for any type of email address (BBS or Internet). DRIVERS by Torsten Lang - C and Assember sources (no executables) for drivers (one for the ST, the other for STE) for the AMD LANCE (AM7990) Ethernet board and PAM's DMA Ethernet adaptor.

IOS SHELL V0.1B by Martin Howard - An adaptation of Rinaldo Visscher's IOS Shell for use with IOSMail on COM.5317. It gives an easy to use GEM based front end to the rather unfriendly IOS-MAIL.TTP program. POPWATCH V2.42 by Gary Priest - Very similar to CHECK_M (above). It is also for Internet use and requires that you have POP3 mail. It lets you check your mail without actually running your mailer software (eg; you could be browsing the Web with CAB). You can download selected items or even read portions of a message then decide whether or not to download it. Messages may be removed or left on the server. Downloaded messages are converted into the correct format for Oasis 1.xx, Oasis 2 or Newsie as appropriate. You can even set up a KILL file to automatically delete junk mail from specified addresses. PURGE V1.2 by Phil Hough - For use with Oasis 1.35 and NOS, it lets you automatically remove specified newsgroup articles. You can filter out articles whose subject line matches your config settings (eg: FS to eliminate for sale adverts) or articles by individuals whose email address matches your specifications. An ideal way to weed out junk. CORKSCREW - Assembler source for the Fingerbobs' Corkscrew Scroller v2.0. Downright amazing! EMULAMST - Amstrad CPC464 emulator (it claims).

It covers States, Capitals, Presidents, Population, Geography. You name it and it is all there on a card based system, controlled via icons on screen. GETSLIDE - Move around a maze and collect gems as you go, before making your way to the exit. It sounds easy but your task is complicated as you must complete each level within a required number of moves. Also, on later levels the surface becomes slippery and you are unable to stop until yoo reach a barrier. POTHOLE by Paul Grenfell - A 20 level Shareware game based on Boulderdash. The basic aim is to tunnel beneath the earth and find diamonds and other goodies. Watch out for nasties and falling rocks, as these will try to hinder your progress.

ENHANCED CHARACTER INTERPRETER V1.4 by Matthias Jaap - Enter any abbreviation or word and ECI gives a computer oriented translation eg PRINT gives Pixel Random Integrated Non-Maskable Task Click the translate button again and get another translation of the same word. More for fun than anything else but could have its uses. ELF ARC V1.5 - An easy to use archiver shell. Unlike most other archiver shells this one includes a built-in archiver. It lets you create archives view their contents and text files within them and extract their contents. You can also create self-extracting archives. Uses the LHA compression method. FALCON-X by Kellis - Another STE emulator. Simply drop an ST/STe program onto it and you will be asked to set various parameters. All being well the program will now run.

LMS LAUNCHER II V0.52 by John Curtis - A GEM based program launcher. You may have as many items on your menu as required and each program is no more than a mouse click away. TTPs can have parameters passed to them automatically and the program can sport a 3D interface when running in 16 or more colours. Grow/shrink dialogs are also supported. When running on a multi-tasking OS launched programs will automatically become the selected application putting LMS II into the background.

As supplied, it can create up to 200 million randomly generated poems and you can add to its word list to vary these even further. Don't take it seriously, though. Few of the poems make any sense, though they do read well and many are somewhat humorous, albeit unintentionally. GEMTRADE V1.10 by Mark Wherry - Development of the excellent German to English translation program Ruftrade has ceased. GEMTrade is its successor, all dressed up in a nice GEM based shell with windowed dialogs, drag & drop, BubbleGEM, OLGA, and AV protocol support and an editable dictionary. In fact it even uses the original Ruftrade dictionaries although the translation routines have been changed. Although its primary aim is to perform automatic translation of documents from German to English, you can also translate individual words between the two languages (in both directions). The results of these can be copied to the GEM clipboard. GEMTrade can also be used as a module within CAB v2.5 or later. In such cases, any German language pages on the Web will be automatically translated and displayed in English! There are limitations in this Shareware release, register to remove them.

This disk forms a useful reference guide for anyone wishing to learn more about the individual foods and wines of these countries. NATIONAL LOTTERY SIMULATOR PLUS by Colin Ballantyne - This is a lottery program with a difference. It doesn't go for mind-blowing methods of prediction or analysis of past results. So what does it do? It does what the name suggests, it is a simulation of the actual draw itself. Enjoy the introduction music to the show, the build-up to the draw and then the nerve-racking draw itself, all performed accurately and with the full atmosphere of the real thing. This latest revision sees the graphics revamped to match those on the TV show more accurately. It has lots of other extras such as the ability to pick the lottery machine and ball set (different ball sets equate to different randomising algorithms, some of which are really wierd!). There are other new features like selection time, selection interval, draw bonus, print numbers, quick draw and quick multidraw. What's more, the music and speech are not 'borrowed' from the show either, they are reproduced by Glasgow music students! A real fun way of picking those elusive numbers. There's even a cheat's mode so that you can dupe your friends into thinking you've won! Revolver - A demo version of a program switcher from Intersect Software.

You can either side, both sides, select number of FAT and directory sectors etc. The directory option is very powerful allowing you to move in and out of sub-directories, trace a file's FAT entries and set files to hidden, deleted, undeleted,system files or protected files. This is probably one of the most powerful disk utilities available. Translated by Robin de la Motte. Mono only. It is however, easy to learn.

Programs which use a lot of floating point calculations can produce speed increases of up to 30 when patched. Always patch a backup copy of your program just in case it doesn t work KALEIDO v1.0 by Dave Levi and Matthew Bednall - A Shareware colour icon editor for your Desktop icons. Load up an existing DESKICON.RSC and modify existing icons or create new ones. You can edit the mono and colour versions of each icon in selected and deselected form. All the usual drawing tools are present and you can scroll the icon out of the window without losing the area which goes outside the window a very useful feature . Icons may be flipped and rotated mirrored or sections cut and pasted. Graphics for use as icons may be grabbed from Degas IFF or BMP images or indeed from executable programs in which case you have to search for the graphic data . FREEDOM V1.15E by Christian Krueger and Kolja Koischwitz - This revolutionary program is primarily intended as a replacement file selector but is in reality much more It is non-modal which means that you can have up to eight file selectors open at once. It supports long file names on file systems which use this feature Multi-TOS drag drop protocol multiple file selection up to 40 user definable paths keyboard shortcuts pop-up menus Unix masks and extension lists AV protocol file searching and much more. It puts all Alert boxes into moveable windows thus replacing the need for Multidialog or Let Em Fly has a left handed mode and lets you change the font and colour used for the directory window. You can copy delete touch or move files. A history popup displays the last 40 accessed files and lets you go directly to their directories . Freedom fully supports all the standards set forth by Selectric and implements them in a compatible fashion but surpasses it by way of extra features. Whats more it employs the use of parallel processing which means that you can perform a task such as file searching while several others are running in the background. Probably the best file selector on any computer Top quality Shareware with a comprehensive English manual. GDOS CHECK V2.06 - Gives details of all currently installed Speedo GDOS fonts and their sizes. It also allows you to print out a test page to help you determine where to set your margins to ensure that all text gets printed. Primarily designed as an aid for Idealist but may be equally useful for other applications. HD PATCH V0.95 by Atari - This program allows you to patch ADHI versions 3.00 and above so that you can specify the size of the hard drive sectors operating pool size idle time before drive powers down drive letters for removable devices and which devices to scan for prevents SCSI devices other than those with sequential numbers being missed . HOLD IT by Christophe Batholme - Allows you to pause output to the screen by holding down SHIFT CONTROL or ALTERNATE. Very useful for those TTP programs which exit before you ve had time to read the message they display. Can be run from an Auto folder. MAGICF30 v4 by Thomas Binder - Patches to allow the MagiC v2 multi-tasking operating system to run on the Falcon. There are limitations in that HD disks are not supported it only runs in ST resolutions it doesn t support programs which use the DSP. Bearing these limitations in mind it s the best solution available until MagiC 3 is released. MAUS-WINDOW v1.32 by Thomas Binder - Automatically tops the window under the mouse pointer. Also works under MultiTOS. Can run either as an Accessory or by double-clicking from the Desktop by changing the extension. PROBE HOUSE UNIT CONVERTER V1.0 by William Wong - Probably the most comprehensive weights and measures conversion utility ever written. It converts between every known unit of distance/length weight speed volume area density time gravitational force energy pressure temperature light magnetic induction electric charge power and plane angle. All in all PHUC handles over 120 different types of conversions It s also GEM based and very easy to use. SLOWBLIT by Sven Bruns - Designed to fix a problem experienced with the 40Mhz CPU/20Mhz Bus accelerator upgrades which result in a system crash if the blitter is accessed. This program slows the blitter down to 10Mhz normally 20Mhz with the accelerator so as to alleviate the problem. SUNFIX V1.0 by Roger Burrows - Allows a Sun compatible CD-ROM drive to be used on an Atari which is running Extendos v1.21 or Extendos Pro v2 or later .

This game is a former BUDGIE UK title. A collection of 40 high quality samples in AVR format for use with Quartet or Noisetracker . Also on disk is a voice set for Quartet. HSCROL L - A short demo showing the power of the STE's hardware scrolling. You can subsitute your own picture in place of the one supplied if you like! WORLD BEAT by The Black Cats - A great intro with two bouncing rotating world globes along with the customary scrolltext. The music is an original adaptation of a Pet Shop Boys hit, in stereo. ILLUSION STE by The Caped Crusader - A superb demo which features fullscreen parallax distortion, vertical rasters (with various effects), plasma effects and a 50khz stereo soundtrack. There are also some unusual raster effects, several of which have not been seen before. Needs 1 Meg. ARMADA IS DEAD by Aggression - This is a fractals demo which uses the Julia set. There are numerous fractals being generated at 120 iterations and displaying 31 colours on screen. The demo includes 50khz Protracker music in stereo and the usual scrolltext. Needs 1 Meg. STE ONLY. MAELSTROM by Bartosz Iljaszewicz - An unfinished version of what could have become a classic. It s based on a Macintosh game of the same name and looks like a jazzed up version of asteroids. Basically you shoot at the asteroids either blowing them up or splitting them into lots of smaller asteroids. The aim is to clear the screen of asteroids before one collides with you. In this version you are returned to the Desktop after losing all three lives. Great explosions and texture mapped asteroids. If you re an assembler programmer the full source code is supplied so that you can finish writing the game yourself Needs 4 Mb. GESS V1B by Jean-Etienne Doucet - The computer version of a board game invented by the mathematical society of the University of Cambridge also known as the Archimedeans . It is based upon chess but played on an 18x18 chequered board and all the pieces look alike as in draughts . It is usually played on a Go board using the standard sets of stones. It s a two player game with rather complicated rules but is very well documented in English and should be easy to pick up. QUINZAINE V1.0 by Jean-Etienne Doucet - An excellent implementation of patience played with two packs of cards. The cards are dealt randomly into 15 piles and must be arranged into eight piles one ascending the other descending for each suit . Rules are basically those for patience and are fully explained in both English and French. RED CAT RUMMY 500 by Yam Software - A computer rendition of the popular card game. This implementation is easy to use and features several difficulty levels when competing against the computer. It is also possible to play a two player game over the modem or by connecting two Ataris via a null modem cable. If you re familiar with Rummy you ll love this one. If not you ll find the rules well explained in the doc. This is a demo version with some features disabled. Falcon TT versions both on disk. The full version is available at low cost. Clip Art (SPORT, PETS) in IMG format.

CLUB DOMINOES by InfoWorks - A playable demo of a commercial product. The presentation and gameplay of this demo is so impressive we just had to include it. This version always gives you the same opponent, limits the number of games and has a few other customisable features disabled. Otherwise it's just like the real thing! STAR COLONY by Ted Greenhalgh - A multi-player turns based strategy game set 100 years in the future in which you (with the aid of droids) aim to colonise a planet. Different droids have different skills, and you must put these to good use in order to exploit the natural resources of the planet. But watch out for pirates, fires, berzerk droids and other such hazzards which will befall your idyllic quest! COLOUR QUEST 2 by J Peach - An adaptation of the old musical game 'Simon' where a musical note is played and a colour lights up. This eventually builds up to a complicated sequence of notes which you must replicate in order to score points. Get one wrong and you're out! For one or two players. CRACK'ED - An odd game in which you shoot all the cartoon graphics on one screen to progress to the next. Very easy to complete and containing just three levels. Probably originated as an early game demo but perfect for familiarising young children with the use of the mouse. ZOO v2.1 - The complete C source for version 2.1 (on UTL.385) of the Zoo archive/unarchive utility. Around 90 files of manuals, makefiles, and source for ST, Amiga, PC, DEC VMS and most UN*X variants. FRENCH BBS DEMO - Documentation now translated into English.

THE MEGA XXXX DEMO by Steve Jarrett - A worthy followup to the 91 Demo on DEM.743C. This two disk set features no less than 20 sub demos, including 4 guest screens, which are loaded from a main menu. The intro itself is a fullscreen distorting scroller! The demo can be run from either disk but you obviously need both disks if you want to see all the sub demos! The screens are a mixed bunch and include such effects as parallax scrolling, multi-plane scrollers, fullscreen demos, unlimited bobs demos (one of which you can control yourself) and several demos created using the Misty STOS extension on DEM.3474C. If that's not enough for you, there's a music demo with 34 pieces of music from ST games! DB360PAT - Patches v3.50 or v3.51 of Oregon Research s hard drive backup utility Diamond Back to v3.60. This program is of no use to you unless you already own Diamond Back v3.50 or v3.51. ICONS - Almost 500 custom icons in RSC format. These include icons for most popular Atari packages as well as Drive and printer icons etc. There s even some borrowed from the PC and Mac. Both standard size icons and miniature icons are included. They can be used as replacement Desktop icons in the DESKICON.RSC file or with replacement Desktops such as Thing Gemini Ease etc. In order to use these icons you will require an icon editor such as Resource Master on FALC.6109 . SYNC II by Levien van Zon - Have you ever come across a demo which runs at 60hz and the screen just won t stop rolling Typically these originate in the USA where their TVs/monitors run at 60hz rather than 50hz as in Europe . This little patch simply kicks the Falcon s video sub-system into 50hz so you can run such demos. Only of use to those using TVs and RGB monitors. Includes assembler source. VIDSLEEP by Levien van Zon - Do you have one of those modern SVGA monitors which feature a power saving mode. Theoretically after a period of inactivity the monitor goes into sleep mode a low energy mode and wakes up when you press a key. Until now there was no way Falcon owners could make use of this feature. Versions for TOS and multi-tasking OSs are included. VGA only do not use unless your monitor has power saving capability. DESKJET - A number of useful files for Hewlett Packard printer owners. The only executables are for Atari and PC versions of a utility which converts an uncompressed PCL file HP file printed to disk and compresses it using HP s compression. The result is files which take up half the disk space and print much faster. Other HP files on this disk include the C source code to Ghostscript drivers for the Deskjet models 520 540 560C 500 and 550 as well as the Paintjet models XL and XL3000. Other documents explain the ESC codes used in the 500 and 600 series printers commands specific to colour printing on the 550C and explains the process known as shingling on the 600 series. These HP files are all of most use either to programmers or those of you who are trying to customise your own printer drivers. TRAOU'N INT KET BET GRAET BEN BREMAN by Adrenaline - This, their biggest demo yet, is spread over two disks. The demo screens are displayed in the middle of the screen. The top and bottom borders are not used, but the right and left are. The introduction is straightforward enough but it gets better! Chip music is played throughout the entire demo. The screens follow one and other, so you have to watch them all and can't skip any you don't like. They do not contain any new breakthroughs, instead they have some of the best filled 3D vectors, wire frame graphics and rotating effects to be seen. The small balls also make their return as they move around the screen forming into different shapes. There are vector shapes moving around the screen and sometimes filling the screen. There are no real scrollers, instead there's a couple of screens of credits which form from dots merging together. There's also a selection of original drawn graphics spread across the two disks. One of the best effects is the dot pictures which transform from one to another by moving the dots in real time. Adrenaline's best yet! Needs 1 Meg.

FROGGER by Dave Munsie - Another of Dave's classic conversions. This one is as usual, a replica of the original game. You start off with five lives and must get three frogs safely across the road without getting squashed and jump from log to log to reach the other side of the river. Several levels to complete. Great fun for all the family. BOMBSQUAD by Richard Hansell - A Dungeon Master inspired game which also draws influences from the 'Alien' film trilogy. You command a crew of four in this overhead view game. Having docked with a spacecraft invested by aliens, your mission is to eliminate them. You have various weapons you can collect and use against them but their firepower is immense! Impressive game which can't fail to get you hooked. EASYVIEW - GEM based text file displayer which allows page up & down etc. FNT_UTIL - A set of utilities for GDOS fonts. Will list all fonts in a directory including names & IDs etc., change a font number and perform a rename of multiple files of any kind. FONTINFO - Lists details of all GDOS fonts in a folder.

BGIF - Loads a GIF picture of any size and rescales it to a low res 320x200 picture in Degas, Neo or SPU format. Colour only. BJ CHROME V1.4 by Rufus Developments - Allows you to load up a Degas or Neo picture and print it out in full colour on a Canon Bubblejet printer. BJ Chrome will also drive the Star SJ-48. To do this you leave the printer in default Epson/NEC mode but set up the software for IBM ProPrinter mode! Weird but it works. BJ Chrome requires that you have a sheet feeder fitted. HP CHROME V1.5 by Rufus Developments - Prints colour pictures on any HP Deskjet (even mono ones, assuming you have a colour kit fitted of course!). You can adjust the colour rendering to suit and print out using one of three quality settings. Pictures can even be cropped or viewed in any ST resolution. This latest upgrade supports the printing of Degas, NEO, TNY, GIF, TIFF, IMG, RAW and Spectrum 512 pictures. CONVERT - Converts picture files to and from Degas (PI? and PC?, any res), Neo, Art Director, PicWorks (any res), Stad, Doodle and IMG formats. Colour or mono. GALLERY - A great slideshow for displaying Spectrum 512, Degas and Neo pictures. What makes the difference is the fact that you add your own scrolltext, have Mad Max music playing and add text to the screen display. Degas and Neo files can be used to make up animations which can be run from a ramdisk. GIF2DJET by Rufus Developments - Simply takes a GIF file of any size, scales it to fit the page, grey scales it, gamma corrects it, contrast enhances it, dithers it and prints it to an HP Deskjet Plus. It only prints in mono and only to the Deskjet Plus, but it's good! GIFINFO - C source code for decoding GIF 87 picture files. GIF2RAW - Coverts a GIF file into a RAW. REDU_RAW - Takes a RAW file created by GIF2RAW and re-sizes it to 320x200. CONTRAST - Stretches the contrast of a RAW file after re-sizing with REDU_RAW. Obviously the best thing to do with the end product is to convert it to PCS format using PhotoChrome on ART.3303C! GIF2RAW - Converts a GIF file into RAW format. REDU_RAW - Re- sizes a RAW created by GIF2RAW into a 320x200 screen. RAW2SPEC - Converts the RAW file into Spectrum 512 format. MANDALA - Creates interesting and perhaps even artistic patterns. Can be run as a PRG or ACC. It must have some use! Mono only. PCX2IMG 2 - Simply converts PCX files (mono or colour) to IMG format. SPU_FILE - Reads a Mac or Aladin disk and allows you to transfer files (most probably pictures) to an ST formatted disk. Picswitch is also provided so that you can convert the Mac pictures into a useable format. SHOWTRIX by Tony Barker - A slideshow which displays Degas, Neo or IFF pictures using a selection of special effects. A number of pictures are included. Colour only. MITHRIL - A 3D animation. It has a ray traced look but does not use ray tracing. It calculates how many frames you have room for in memory and then goes on to calculate them. The entire process will take several minutes, depending on how many frames you have selected, but it will be worth the wait. All programs on this disk run in colour or mono unless otherwise stated. EASYDAT v1.2 - A fast, easy to use GEM based database. It holds as much of the data file in memory as possible, thus speeding up search times dramatically. The program is in English but the docs are German. We've run them through a quick translation to give you an idea how to get started. TOCANTE - An ACC which displays a large digital clock in a moveable GEM window, which can be positioned on screen to suit. Includes source code in C and GFA Basic. PRIMA V2.1 - Yet another GEM based shell designed to make POV Raytrace much easier to use. This one supports both POV v1 and v2. SPRINT v1.2 by Kelvin Unsworth - A handy printer spooler which speeds up output to most printers in much the same manner as FPPRINT, except that it operates as a sooler too. Most spoolers send just one byte per interrupt which generally slows down output as the printer can usually run much faster Sprint can send up to 1000 bytes per interrupt, thus speeding up output dramatically. Almost everything in Sprint can be configured to suit your own system setup. SALVAGE - Locates ASCII text on the sectors of a disk and lets you re-save them elsewhere. Its purpose is obviously to allow you to recover ASCII or WP text files from a corrupted disk and it works well, too. LUCKY LOTTO NUMBERS - A random number generator with built-in database for lottery numbers. Although it is set up for the Texas lottery, several common lottery formats are supported. It keeps track of about 1000 lotteries and analyses the frequency with which certain numbers come up. STRINGS - Extracts all ASCII strings terminated by a zero byte from the data segment of any program file. Useful for translating programs or finding cheat modes. CARD & DICE GAMES - A collection of seven popular card and dice games. BEAT THE HOUSE by Gary Clinton - A Blackjack game played against the computer. As you would expect, the aim is to get a close to a score of 21 without going bust. Nice graphics and a tough computer opponent. BLACKJACK - Another variation on the theme. This one's not as visually appealing but it gives you a running total so its easier for the novice to pick up the scoring. This one's a bit tougher as the dealer wins if the hand is drawn! FOUR HANDED PINOCHLE by Charles Baily - One of the more complicated card games around, with four variations to the theme. You play with a double-deck and must beat all tricks. It has an unusual scoring system and is confusing to the novice. Unless you already know the rules of this game it's a case of making a few good guesses and hoping for the best! CARD PARTY by Dale Zwicker - A collection of three card games. Pyramid involves removing a card (or group of cards) adding up to 13, from a pyramid-like structure. The aim is to clear all cards from the table. The second game is called Follow Suit and is variation on the Patience theme which takes a bit of time to get into. Challenging nevertheless. Finally we have Cribbages where you either start at 0 on the board, working your way round to 121, or you start at 31 working back to 0. Either way, it's as much a board game as a card game and has an odd scoring system! CASSINO CRAPS V1.0 by Ron Rautenberg - An exact replica of the game where you place chips at strategic points on a board, then throw dice in the hope of winning some more dosh. Great game if you know how to play, otherwise you'll need to read the docs on the next game! OH CRAPS! - Yes it's another of those Cassino dice games. This one is graphically more appealing, has impressive animated dice and higher valued chips to offer! It also has various options like the ability to replay the last 40 throws and much more besides. It even includes a doc which explains the rules of the game! CADENZA CRIBBAGE V1.9 by Eric Bergman-Terrell - The card game brought to your computer screen. It's a two player game and you play against the computer. You take turns of being the dealer and the computer always starts. This computer version offers quite a few extras like X-Ray vision, game length and the ability to watch the computer play against itself!No attempt is made to explain the rules of Cribbage. As long as you are familiar with them, you should have no problems. THE PROGRAMERS INTRO TO DEMO TECHNIQUES by James Ingram - Very comprehensive program that explains some of the aspects that goes into demo coding. Some of the topics explained are scrolling messages, sine-wave wobblers, getting rid of borders, timers, playing samples(STFM/STe), chip music, moving sprites around and sprites that leave an infinite "trail." Source code is included for the author's Full-Screen Demo. This program assumes that you have a working knowledge of 68000 coding and is not for novices. You must of course have a decent assembler such as Devpac3 and at least 2 Mb of RAM. A hard disk is recommended, otherwise you will require an 800k ram-disk. ATARIPHILE ISSUE 1 by the FFF - Yes the Falcon FacTT File have undergone yet another transformation. As suggested by the name they were originally a Falcon only organisation then they opened their doors to TT and PAK 030 owners. Well now the transformation is complete and they are accepting membership applications from ALL Atari users and membership s still free . This is the first issue of their bi-monthly disk mag which covers all aspects but with the emphasis on serious computing rather than games of using your Atari computer. It is presented in HTML language as used on the WWW and is supplied with the CAB HTML broswer. Use of this format allows it to run on any medium or high res ST screen and supports the use of logos screenshots and even photographs within its pages. It is well thought out and includes reviews of four CDs All Things Falcon Delta CD Background CD and The Atari Compendium On CD Geneva 004 MagiC 4 BlowUp FX and a book review Using HTML . Although the reviews are biased towards the Falcon owner this is just issue 1 and there s plenty for the ST owner too. An extensive news section looks at the latest System Solutions news the closure of Atari World and Compo UK and lots more. One of the more professional disk mags both in presentation and content. Just what you need to overcome those Atari World blues ATARIPHILE ISSUE 2 - This bi-monthly disk magazine from the Falcon Fact File aimed at ALL Atari users is one of the best we have seen. It is just brimming with everything Atari and is presented in HTML format as used for pages on the World Wide Web and includes the popular CAB viewer program.

THIRD DIMENSION Issue 9 - Another impressive offering for 3D Construction Kit users containing lots of help, advice and information. This issue includes a beginners' step by step tutorial game, a look at how Kit 1 animation works, a compatibility list of ST games which run on the Falcon, tips on how to speed up your 3D Kit games, a review of The Probe and news on forthcoming games. In addition, there's more borders, brushes, Kit data, routines, samples, pictures and a lively Talkback section which looks at UFOs this month. There is a playable demo of Dave Wilmore's forthcoming game Dr Who and Star Trek, an interactive Kit 2 design course. An essential buy for any 3D Kit user. Ani-ST - formerly marketed at 79.95 as Aegis Animator. Jim Kent has bought back the rights to the program and released it as shareware. The suggested contribution is a smile! This professional animation package comes with over 20k of documentation on disk. Also included are a number of demo files to run. These demos are rather crude. If you want to see what the package is really capable of, get Bob Chewter's Juggling Lamps demo on DEM.43C. This disk is one of the best on the market. Codehead Utilities. Written by Charles Johnson of Codehead Software. This must rate as one of the most useful disks in the collection. Art Gallery - an ACC which will show all Degas, Neo or Tiny files. Can also be run as a PRG file. Desk Manager v2.1 - similar to Superboot. Choose from one of up to 128 Desktop Inf files, choose which ACC files to load, which Auto folder PRGs to load, display Spectrum 512 or Degas picture file on boot up and select the correct Assign.sys file for GDOS if required. Headstart - an advanced version of Startgem. Choose up to 128 GEM programs to Autoboot (from more than one drive if necessary!). Hotwire - allows you to load up a program by simply typing a key combination. No need to open a window! Hotwire can be called up at any time from the GEM desktop and candisplay up to 54 pro grams on its menu at any one time. This version is a demo and you cannot load or save the menu selections. Apart from that it is fully functional. Little Green Selector - the most advanced replacement for the GEM file selector yet! Midimax - a demo version of a commercial program. Very comprehensive program with the Save function disabled and a time limit of two minutes on playback. Otherwise fully functional. Includes example files in an ARC file. Multidemo - a demo version of Multidesk. Multidesk allows you to load up to 32 accessories at once. It is also possible to load and unload accessories from the Desktop i.e. you don't need to load them all up on boot up. The demo version only allows you to load up accessories and becomes in active after ten minutes. Pinhead v1.4 - speeds up loading time from disk. Dirsleft - shows up how many more folders you can fit on your disk. LOOPED by J Bullough - A Pipe Mania clone. You are given a target score for the current level and the aim is to link up the pieces to form a loop. The longer the loop, the higher your score. Take too long placing a piece and you'll run out of time. Place pieces badly and you'll block your own path. A challenging game. PLOP by Digi Tallis - A puzzle type game for 1 or 2 players. It is played on a grid and each "slot" on the grid can contain a predetermined amount of mass. You can place your balloon in the space or your opponent can place his (you can't both occupy the same square). Add more air to it and it grows, if it exceeds the available space, it goes plop and explodes into adjacent squares. The object of the game is to turn all pieces on the board to your own colour. Sounds a bit abstract but it's really simple to pick up when you start playing. It's quite tricky too! TRAPPED II by Digital Dan - A light cycles/tron type game for up to four human or computer controlled players. Control can be by joystick (up to four joysticks can be used with a parallel port adaptor) or keyboard (definable) and the aim is to avoid hitting the sides of the playing area or other players of course. As your light cycle progresses, it leaves a wall behind it. You must avoid hitting this wall and try to force your opponents to hit it! Trapped II features a built-in level editor, several speeds of play, lots of user-definable settings and a special tournament mode. This is the STFM version, an STE version is available on GAM.6163C. G_BASE - Graphical database. Holds normal data plus pictures in Degas, Neo and .MBK (STOS) format, including direct imports from the Vidi-ST digitiser. Pictures can be viewed full size as well as in reduced format (iffy colours) on data screen. Low rez only. NOT TOS 2 upwards. AUTORAISE - An accessory which automatically raises (i.e. makes active) the GEM window under the mouse, like X-Window systems i.e. no need to click. CALLCOST v1.4 - Calculates telephone costs for users of Binkley bulletin boards. HDCHECK v1.3 - A hard disk utility which reports access times, scans for bad sectors and does random read test etc. Does not write to disk. NEODESK.639 - 150K of Neodesk icons in .nic format. 639 icons in all! THE PIXEL TWINS MODULE COLLECTION - A selection of MODs which can be double clicked and played from the Desktop. MODs are BEYOND, CHARTMIX, GRYTAN, SERENDIP, VELOMATR. INVESTIGATION - A two disk graphical adventure by David Weeks. You are Denim Top Dave, a student, and you have overheard a conversation which could lead to one of the biggest computer crimes of the decade. It is up to you to thwart the plans of the villians. The game is controlled mainly by the cursor keys and by typing in commands. Your search concentrates on three main areas and you must ensure you have enough bus fares to travel between them, so buying and selling becomes part of your strategy. A good challenging game. Does not run on machines with more than 1 Meg of memory. Synthworks is a program designed to help you get the most out of your Midi keyboard . It has extensive editing features which vary from one version of the program to another. Synthworks is keyboard specific and is available for the following keyboards:- Proteus TOS PATCHES - Don Maple has put together a collection of all known patch programs designed to cure various bugs in all TOS versions from v1.0 (the first ROM TOS) up to v3.06 (on the TT). There's also a text file describing the changes made to each TOS version over and above its predecessor. We have dropped most Falcon specific patches to avoid the need for a third disk! Some programs are English, others are German. In the latter cases, we've done RUF translations of the docs. BUTTONFIX 1.4 - Fixes the double-scroll bug present in some TOS versions. CACHExxx - Caches data on your hard drive to increase performance on TOS 1.4 upwards. The xxx signifies the size of the cache buffers. DC BITSET 1.0 - Allows TOS 1.0 and 1.2 to set the 'archive bit' correctly in file headers. This bug was fixed in TOS 1.4. DC LIGHT OFF 1.0 - Deselects Drive A if you boot from hard disk with no floppy in Drive A. Prevents floppy drive motor and LED staying on for infinity. DRIVE OFF - Performs the same task as DC Light Off. FLOPFIX - Fixes various bugs in the BIOS which result in read errors, write protect errors and disk change errors on TOS 2.06 upwards. FORCE MEDIA CHANGE - Many replacement floppy drives do not detect a disk change properly. This can result in the FATs and root directory of the last inserted disk overwriting the new disk's contents. The program forces TOS to re-read the FATs and root directory every time a disk is accessed. FOLDRxxx - Fixes the 40 folder bug. This bug exists in all TOS versions but manifests itself differently on the newer TOSes. The xxx signifies the number of extra folders. HD_FDC - Sets the floppy disk seek rate to 3ms (rather than 6 ms) on TOS 2.06 upwards. NBCBS - An adaptation of CACHExxx which allows you to set the FAT/root directory and directory/data buffers separate from each other. PATCHX06 - Fixes various BIOS disk routines (media change, disks with one FAT, read errors if 2 drives fitted) in TOS 2.06 and 3.06. RESET - Forces a warm reset if no floppy is found in Drive A. This fixes a problem on some computers where the floppy drive is not recognised at boot up. DESK_ENV V3.00 - Lets you set up AES environmental variables on TOS 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4. ENV 1.3 - A CPX which lists all currently installed environmental variables and lets you add new ones to the list. ENVIRMNT 2 - Ensures that any environmental variables cannot be changed by other applications after boot up. DRUCKESZ - A patch for German users which filters out characters after 'ss' when printing. NVDI FIXES - Two program which fix bugs which can cause crashes with NVDI v2.5. 24 BIT - Allows many programs which are not '32 bit clean' to run on the TT and Falcon. CHK_OFLS 1.03 - Ensures that errors do not occur when copying data to mass storage devices when using high speed copying programs such as Kobold, by checking that the file system being copied to, has actually been opened. COOKIE - Installs a Cookie Jar on pre-TOS 1.6 systems. FIX GDOS - Some programs won't run if GDOS, AMCGDOS or NVDI are installed (they report 'invalid handle'). This program fixes the problem. INSJAR - Creates a Cookie Jar of a specified size on pre-TOS 1.6 systems, enlarges the existing Cookie Jar to the specified size on TOS versions 1.6 upwards. MAKEFAST - Allows you to switch the Fastload bit (reduces loading time on large memory machines) ON or OFF for programs running on TOS 1.4 or later. MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Puts almost all dialogs into GEM windows. This allows you to choose to ignore a dialog and access the menu bar or move a dialog which is obscuring your work. Most useful on multi-tasking systems. NO ROACH - Lets you specify how long your computer should wait before booting from hard drive. Specifically designed for the Mega ST/E and TT as they have internal hard drives. NVRAM 1.1 - An Auto folder program which resets the TT or Falcon's non-volatile RAM to the factory presets and a CPX which lets you customise the settings to your own preference. PINHEAD 1.8 - Speeds up the loading of programs on TOS versions 1.0 to 1.6. More or less performs the same functions as setting the Fastload bit on TOS 1.4 but is said to be more compatible with certain rogue applications. POOLFIX92 - A bug fixed version of various patch programs by Atari which are designed to fix memory compaction routines in the OS pool under TOS 1.4 and 1.6. OVFIX - Gets rid of the bug where the ESC character is sent continuously, causing the current directory to keep re-reading and a continuous tone to emanate from the keyboard. SHELL_FIX 1.3 - Allows programs which use TOS's shell functions to run from alternative Desktops (they normally only run from the GEM Desktop). STESOUND - Patches TOS 4.01 & 4.02 to initialise its STE compatible DMA sound, otherwise you get silence from programs which use DMA sound! STE_FIX - Patches the DESKTOP.INF of TOS 1.6 to overcome that version's inability to boot up in medium resolution. TOS14FX5 - A bug fixed version of Atari's patch which fixed the inability to use RTS/CTS handshaking and an odd problem whereby a program cannot locate its own RSC. These bugs only exist in TOS 1.4. TT GAMES - Several patches which make the TT more compatible with the ST so that many older programs may be run. They switch off the cache, switch to 24 bit addressing and allow some programs which execute from the bootsector to run. VDI_FIX 1.11 - Fixes the bug which results in the same VDI handles being given to two or more VDI workstations. Affects all TOS versions up to 3.05 (except for v1.2). GEMRAM 1.6/1.7 - Copies GEM to RAM so that it can be patched by other programs (eg SHBUF, ARROWFIX, WINX). SHBUF 1.3 - Patches GEM to increase the shell buffers of NEWDESK.INF. This lets you have more icons on the Desktop, more installed applications and prevents icons going 'missing' if your NEWDESK.INF exceeds 4K in size. Only needed in TOS 2.05 upwards. ARROWFIX 1.5 - Fixes the double scroll problem with the slider bars on GEM windows on certain TOS versions. WINX 2.2 - Patches the window handling of GEM to allow more windows to be open. It also adds a number of features to window handling, especially with regard to manipulating background windows without actually selecting them. FSERIAL 1.0 - A CPX which lets you configure your serial port. It is essentially a replacement for the MODEM.CPX but goes one better by supporting all legal serial ports (up to 4 on the TT). It works in conjunction with an Auto folder patch which allows speeds higher than 19200 to be selected (if your computer supports this). MSTE_GAL - Docs on how to program a GAL device which overcomes a bug in the Mega STE's serial port. You will of course need the appropriate hardware and software in order to blow the GAL. XSSD - A document detailing how to implement a protocol which adds extended functions to the serial I/O. HS MODEM 6 - Although a little fiddly to set up, this patch appears to fix all serial port related bugs on all TOS versions. It even supports DTE rates of up to 115200, hardware permitting and recognises the RSVE hardware upgrade used to increase the ST's maximum port speed from 19200 to 38400. Absolutely essential if using a high speed modem, desirable even if using a slower model. HS_FIX - Replaces the faulty CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, allowing you to use the built-in MNP compression used by high speed modems. RS232 ENHANCER 1.02 - Similar to HS_FIX, it cures bugs in the CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS versions up to 3.06. It lets you use GVC, Supra and Zyxel modems (which were previously incompatible) with your ST. RSRCADD - Lets you increase the size of TOS's serial send/receive buffer from 256 bytes to a maximum to 32 kilobytes in order to speed up throughput with fast modems. RS 1.03A - A modified version of RS232 Enhancer which increases the size of the send/receive buffers to 32K. SERIAL FIX 2 - Fixes the CTS/RTS problem and completely incorporates SERPATCH and TOS14FIX, eliminating the need to use those patches. Works on TOS versions up to 3.06. SERPATCH 2 - Fixes problems when using a word size of less than 8, handles parity errors correctly and fixes the CTS/RTS bug in TOS versions up to 1.62. Clip Art in IMG format (19TH CENTURY ITALIAN ENGRAVED FRAMES).

ST NEWS Vol 2 Compendium - A collection of the best articles to be published in the 1987 issues of ST News. Special features include four computer show reports, interviews with Rob Hubbard, David Whittaker and Jeff Minter. Parts I to VIII of the 68000 programming course and parts I to VI of the Forth series are reprinted as well as numerous miscellaneous programming articles. Hints & tips, reviews and adventure solutions for countless games and a few utilities are also included. Numerous executable programs are included. MPH Spread Demo - Created with the TCB Tracker. Both ST and STE versions are on the same disk. ACE FIX - Allows the game Steel Talons to be used with an ordinary joystick. RUN VGA - An improved player program for running Black Scorpion s Morphing Demo on a VGA monitor. MORPH8.TGZ - Some copies of the Morphing Demo are reputed to have had a damaged picture file. Here s a replacement for it. NVDI FIX - Modifies NVDI v2.5 so that it will work with Easydraw and other programs which open a virtual workstation with normalised device cordinates. MAUS WINDOW V1.25 - Automatically selects the window under the mouse cursor as you pass over it. There are a number of user configurable options and it fully supports the new AES calls in the Falcon WinX and Multi-TOS. MOUSE KA MANIA II by Charles Johnson - A welcome upgrade to this popular utility. The primary function of this program is to allow you to replace the boring mouse pointer with an alternative one of your choice. It includes countless pre-defined mouse cursors as well as a comprehensive editor which allows you to create your own. If that s not enough it even supports animated mouse pointers and lets you set up a default mouse pointer to be loaded at bootup. Source code can also be saved out in C assembler or Basic for incorporation into your own programs. MULTIBLOW 030 v1.0 - Yet another resolution booster. However this one is different from the others. It only works on RGB monitors and all it does is extend the scope of overscan to squeeze a little more into the screen. The result is a readable screen display unlike some of the other resolution enhancers which produce such tiny text that it is unreadable. PEEKABOO V1.7 - A file viewer which runs as an ACC or PRG and lets you browse through ASCII or binary files in a GEM window. Searches can be made on text or for ASCII characters within a binary file. VECSHOW - Displays system vectors which have been altered since you switched on your computer. Probably best run from a CLI as the output simply scrolls up the screen and then the program exits. VOL V1.09 by Roland Waldi - Allows you to alter the volume label of an drive including hard drive partition. It also removes control blocks to get around the 40 folder bug and gives information on the disk format and other vital characteristics. Output can be sent to an ASCII file. VOLUME by Murray Levine - A GEM based program where you simply click onto the appropriate drive letter and enter the volume label you want to write to it. Works on drives A to L. VOLUME LABEL UTILITY V2 by Erin Monaco - A volume labeller with a difference. It is set up in such a fashion that you can increment the disk name or extension each time you put a new disk into the drive i.e. UTIL0001.DSK or UTILITY.001 . What s more you can specify the part of the label to be incremented and specify the starting number. XLATOR V2.04 by Gair Shields - An excellent foreign language translation program which contains over 27 000 German to English translations. If it doesn t know a word you can even ask it to guess its meaning. The program is fully Multi-TOS compatible and has inbuilt support for several languages but is only fully functional for German to English transklations at present although a smaller French to English dictionary is also supplied. A number of other utilities are included for updating and maintaining your dictionary files. In addition you can use the supplied dictionary files to create English to German and English to French dictionary. Very worthwhile if you do a lot of translations. PLEASE NOTE This is the FULL registered version and is only available from Floppyshop. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are MEMORY, MISSION2, NEWDISCO, NISSEN, TRAPS, WOFW. This second GFA support disk allows the creation and editing of dialog boxes in GFA Basic programs. It is called Diox v0.95. Although this program runs on a 520 you cannot create radio buttons unless you have 1 Meg. Although Diox was designed for use with GFA Basic v2, a conversion program on disk allows output files to be used in GFA Basic v3 upwards. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program . Files are BLACKBOX, MOVED, ROCK2, SCAB. VIDEO REPLAY v3.0 by Digital Image - Sound and video sequencing software. Combine digitised animations grabbed by VIDI ST or SAM, with sampled sounds to create short mini-movies. It needs the grabber hardware to create new video data. Includes lots of handy utilities for all those budding Spielbergs and Bluths out there. Some sample files are included for you to play with. Realistically needs 1 Meg. A COLLECTION OF SCENIC PICTURES in JPEG format. - Files are AMER01 AMER02 AMER03 AMER05 AMER06 AMER07 AMER08 MOUNCITY MOUNTAIN MOUNTAN1 MOUNTAN2 MOUNTAN3 PALMTREE ROCKPOND SANCT2 SCENERY1 SCENERY2 SCENERY3 SCENERY4 SEAVIEW CASTLE CITY GOLDGATE BIRCH CASTLE1 CITY1 CITY2. ZNET - An American on-line magazine. Covers the period from 28/9/91 to 28/12/91. ATARI TIMES #10 - This Internet based diskmag sees a major revamp in its graphic presentation this month. News covers price cuts and other items of interest from Titan Designs, info on the October 1997 Atari Shows, a change of email address for Floppyshop and other Internet snippets. Reviews are of Atari Computing magazine, Homepage Penguin, Instant HTML Programmers Reference (book), Iron Soldier 2 (Jag CD) and GOD-Boy (Falcon). Maurits van de Kamp (a Dutch musician) is interviewed and Kevin Jones lists his Top 10 Atari role-playing games. There's an interesting roundup of Atari Web pages along with part two of Al Fasoldt's NeoDesk tutorial. Perhaps my favourite article was a lengthy piece on emulating other machines on your Atari, covering PC, Mac, MSX, ZX-81, ZX-Spectrum, QL, TRS-80, C64, BBC, Amiga, Apple II, Atari 8-bit and others. There are of course all the usuals like Editorial, Adverts, Contacts, Croft Soft info and more... Written in HTML, you will need a copy of CAB (DMG.5556) or Webspace (COM.5899) in order to read Atari Times. Needs 1 Mb. HEWLETT PACKARD LASER PRINTER SUPPORT DISK - A collection of printer drivers and other utilities for the HP Deskjet and Laserjet series of printers. Printer drivers for 1st Word/1st Word Plus, ST Writer, Calamus, ST Sheet, Fleet Street Publisher v1.2, Fleet Street 3 and TEX. Six screendump programs for various resolutions. The utilities allow you to print out a Degas picture, emulate an Epson MX-80, download alternative font sets, reset the printer, print out labels, address envelopes and so on. In other words this disk has just about every program you'll ever need to use a Deskjet or Laserjet on your ST. Soundtracker files with player program.

GFA SOURCE DISK 5 - The second disk in the 1993 series. Once again it's full of source code for the amateur or professional alike. Again, it is primarily for the GFA Basic version 2 system, but some GFA Basic v3 files are included on the disk. The GFA v2 source includes the following:- a GEM dialog box tutorial, a routine to produce a verbose listing of an ARC file, a simple CAD orientated drawing package, some simple line graphics examples, a utility to produce a GEM menu bar with ease, a very simple terminal program, a small puzzle game called Mastermind, picture clipping source, a fractal landscape generator, routines to manipulate polygons, and a good example of the quick sort algorithm. The GFA v3 files include source to produce a verbose listing of both an ARC and an LZH file. Code on this disk is either in tokenised format, or LST format which is compatible with all GFA Basic versions. Some routines include supplementary text files which explain the usage of the code, thus making this disk very useful for the novice. Digi Composer by Il Profesore of Istari - Another Noisetracker clone. This program is an improved version of Empire Noisetracker on MUS.98C. It is fully STE compatible and compatible with all Soundtracker type programs on the Amiga. A number of MOD files are included on disk. THE STUPENDOUS DEMO by The Pixel Twins - Walk through a Dungeon Master type maze. Each door opens into a separatatdemo. There must be about a dozen demos but I lost count, or at least I got lost in the maze! Two demos are STE only and there's even an STE game. Don't enter the STE screens unless you have an STE or you may crash your machine. Well produced demo. VIOLENCE - A Shareware Xenon 2 clone. This must be one of the best shoot 'em up games on the market. Fast arcade style action and lots of extra features built in. If you are a shoot em up addict you can't deprive yourself of this one!

Fullscreen Construction Kit - Enables you to create and display overscanned 460*274 pixel graphics in low resolution. The programs (520ST and 1040ST versions included) are French with English menus. An English translation of the help screens is included, as are examples in GFA Basic and assembler of how to display these pictures in your own programs. SOUNDTRACKER MODULES with player program for the STFM, STE, TT and Falcon. MODs are COUNT, CRUSADER, INFACE, MOD. Player not TOS 2.06 compatible. AMIGA SOUNDTRACKER MOD FILES with player program. Files are 2NDSIGHT, FOCUS, GROOVE, JOURNEY. FAST EXTENSION by Baz Mulloy - An extension for STOS Basic which speeds up various aspects of the language such as clearing the screen, mathematical calculations, plotting to the screen and such like. HD ON/OFF by Teddy of TMC - A GFA Basic listing which (when compiled) lets you switch on/off SCSI or IDE hard drives. Requires an XHDI hard disk driver (such as HD Driver) to be installed, otherwise it won't work. NORMALIZED KEY CODE CONVERTER (NKCC) V2.93 by Harald Siegmund - C source code for incorporation into your own programs for handling keyboard events. On different versions of TOS and sometimes on different language versions of the same TOS, pressing a specific key combination returns a different ASCII value. NKCC fixes this by intercepting these and standardising them. It also supports the handling of 'deadkeys' for special non-alphabetical characters as used in several European languages. Although intended for use in Turbo C or Pure C, object files are supplied in DRI format, so they could be used in more or less any compiler. Docs in both English and German. WINDALOG V1.2 - GFA v3 source for putting dialog boxes into windows in your own programs. PEACEBUG V1.31 by Emanuel Mocklin - One of the most popular debugging tools available. Unfortunately this is a collection of the source code only, no executables, and it needs to be built using the Pure Assembler (or converted to another such as Devpac). Fully compatible with all Atari models from the ST to the Falcon. Docs in both English and German. Needs a hard drive. 790 Dump by Graham Galbraith and Dave Woodhouse (co- designer/programmer of the ST Replay series of samplers) - Sysex dump for use with Yamaha PSS 790 synthesizer. Will save complete contents of synth's memory to disk. Includes several dumps. PSS Dump - The same as above but for the Yamaha PSS 480, 580, 686 & 780 synthesisers. Also by the same programmers. NOT TOS 2.06. ST+ #16, APRIL 1997 - The first ever double-disk issue of ST+. It has the usual mix of news, reviews, adverts, swap shop, letters, press releases and more! News includes the MagiC 5.10 upgrade, a 68020 accelerator for the STE, an IDE interface for all STs, DTP+Graphics CD-ROM, info on Floppyshop's new releases, news of more Atari Shows, the latest projects at Stosser Software and info on the forthcoming Nordic Atari Show and Place 2 Be demo competition. There's a quick Show report from Dave and a real time article, more on the Shows next month. Beginners Corner looks at basic care of your ST and some basic hints and tips. This month's interview is with Chris Holland of the Maggie Team. Reviews include Speed of Light, Floppyshop's PhotoScan service (including example scans on the disk), Billy Boy, Stello, Towers 2 and GEMMA STOS. There's numerous articles on musical equipment by Slimer (ex DBA diskmag), an excellent piece on modems and a new regular column by John Welller (ex STEN diskmag). The Sci-Fi section returns with news of life on Jupiter, the Star Wars Trilogy and a review of UFOst, a new diskmag by Lee Round. The Assembler section also makes a welcome return with four well written articles aimed at beginners about to venture into 68000 coding. There's lots more in this extended issue of ST+, just no more space to list the 70+ articles! THE BEWICK COLLECTION - A collection of 300 dpi and 400 dpi scans (in IMG format) of wood engravings created by master craftsman, Thomas Bewick. Files are SHEEP, SHEEP_2, SNOW, SNOWHUNT, SQUIRREL, STOAT, TIGER, WASSAIL, WATERRAT, FERRET, FLDMOUSE, SABLE, WEASEL. FLOPPYSHOP CPX COLLECTION 1 - This disk has taken over a year to compile and contains no less than 45 CPX files for use with XControl (also on disk) along with associated docs and PRG files. Not all CPX's will run on all versions of TOS, but most will. If there's enough interest in this disk, we hope to produce another, some time in 1994.

AFL Pro Football just smacks of professionalism DEMO COMPETITION MODULES 3 by The DBA - The third in the series complete with the DBA CD MOD Player v2. MODs are KNOB PLASTIK1 PLASTIK2 STRANGE STRANGE2 TECHNO_1 TECHNO_2. S-FALC.4668 CYCEDELIC KNOCKOUT by The Mugwumps - A great demo from the Fried Bits Convention. It starts off with a warning not to watch the demo if you are prone to epileptic fits. That s not an understatement as it does go a bit wild later on in the demo. The intro is set aboard the USS Enterprise 500 years in the future and it very atmospheric with digitised speech great graphics and animation. As you destroy the attacking spacecraft you enter the main demo. This is the type of demo you would put on at a party. It features techno music and psychedelic on screen effects. The effects are very cleverly done and consist of patterns and flashing lights used to their best advantage. Some effects are rather wierd but it s worth getting as much for the intro section as for the main demo Needs 4 Meg and a hard drive. DANGIMERE - A sprawling role playing game in which you play the central character. Having consumed a quantity of an illegal substance, followed by a few beers you have a strange journey around your college campus before passing out. You awake to find yourself in the company of a heavily armoured and wicked looking individual who seems determined to finish you off. What is going on?

MICROTONALITY & SCALE TEMPERAMENTS for the ROLAND SOUND CANVAS by Chas Stoddard (Avalon Music Developments) - If you have a Sound Canvas and are interested in alternative scale temperaments then this is for you. Our "modern" Western scale has actually only been around for 150 years or so, and there are 75 alternative scalings dating back to the Ancient Greeks. There are over 16 channels, that's 1200 files on this disk (in compressed format - easily decompressed). They are sent to the instrument as MID files. Also on disk is a lengthy text file which is a fascinating treatise on the history of music scales and tuning, as well as instructions on how to use the files. Both ST and PC versions are supplied on this disk. Sampled Sounds MISCELLANEOUS - A collection of 135 high quality samples in AVR format for use with soundtracker programs. JUMPSTER - A Q-Bert game similar to Fuzzball on GAM.50C. KID PUBLISHER v2.1 - The cream of the crop! This is a very basic DTP program for young children. Quiz - A very good GEM based quiz program. Choose True/False, Multiple Choice or Fill in the Blank. Three skill levels to choose from. FLASHCARDS - Choose the range for the questions. You are then given a number of multiplication sums within the range and a time limit to answer each question. An excellent tool for learning times tables. MOUSE PIANO - An electronic keyboard played by clicking either mouse button. SPELLPIC - You are shown pictures of objects and must type in the name. WORDPIC - You are shown a picture and must click onto the correct name from a choice of three. SUPER SIMON - The old electronic game Simon. Listen to the beeps and click the correct colours. TOS PATCHES - Don Maple has put together a collection of all known patch programs designed to cure various bugs in all TOS versions from v1.0 (the first ROM TOS) up to v3.06 (on the TT). There's also a text file describing the changes made to each TOS version over and above its predecessor. We have dropped most Falcon specific patches to avoid the need for a third disk! Some programs are English, others are German. In the latter cases, we've done RUF translations of the docs. BUTTONFIX 1.4 - Fixes the double-scroll bug present in some TOS versions. CACHExxx - Caches data on your hard drive to increase performance on TOS 1.4 upwards. The xxx signifies the size of the cache buffers. DC BITSET 1.0 - Allows TOS 1.0 and 1.2 to set the 'archive bit' correctly in file headers. This bug was fixed in TOS 1.4. DC LIGHT OFF 1.0 - Deselects Drive A if you boot from hard disk with no floppy in Drive A. Prevents floppy drive motor and LED staying on for infinity. DRIVE OFF - Performs the same task as DC Light Off. FLOPFIX - Fixes various bugs in the BIOS which result in read errors, write protect errors and disk change errors on TOS 2.06 upwards. FORCE MEDIA CHANGE - Many replacement floppy drives do not detect a disk change properly. This can result in the FATs and root directory of the last inserted disk overwriting the new disk's contents. The program forces TOS to re-read the FATs and root directory every time a disk is accessed. FOLDRxxx - Fixes the 40 folder bug. This bug exists in all TOS versions but manifests itself differently on the newer TOSes. The xxx signifies the number of extra folders. HD_FDC - Sets the floppy disk seek rate to 3ms (rather than 6 ms) on TOS 2.06 upwards. NBCBS - An adaptation of CACHExxx which allows you to set the FAT/root directory and directory/data buffers separate from each other. PATCHX06 - Fixes various BIOS disk routines (media change, disks with one FAT, read errors if 2 drives fitted) in TOS 2.06 and 3.06. RESET - Forces a warm reset if no floppy is found in Drive A. This fixes a problem on some computers where the floppy drive is not recognised at boot up. DESK_ENV V3.00 - Lets you set up AES environmental variables on TOS 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4. ENV 1.3 - A CPX which lists all currently installed environmental variables and lets you add new ones to the list. ENVIRMNT 2 - Ensures that any environmental variables cannot be changed by other applications after boot up. DRUCKESZ - A patch for German users which filters out characters after 'ss' when printing. NVDI FIXES - Two program which fix bugs which can cause crashes with NVDI v2.5. 24 BIT - Allows many programs which are not '32 bit clean' to run on the TT and Falcon. CHK_OFLS 1.03 - Ensures that errors do not occur when copying data to mass storage devices when using high speed copying programs such as Kobold, by checking that the file system being copied to, has actually been opened. COOKIE - Installs a Cookie Jar on pre-TOS 1.6 systems. FIX GDOS - Some programs won't run if GDOS, AMCGDOS or NVDI are installed (they report 'invalid handle'). This program fixes the problem. INSJAR - Creates a Cookie Jar of a specified size on pre-TOS 1.6 systems, enlarges the existing Cookie Jar to the specified size on TOS versions 1.6 upwards. MAKEFAST - Allows you to switch the Fastload bit (reduces loading time on large memory machines) ON or OFF for programs running on TOS 1.4 or later. MULTI-DIALOG V1.03 - Puts almost all dialogs into GEM windows. This allows you to choose to ignore a dialog and access the menu bar or move a dialog which is obscuring your work. Most useful on multi-tasking systems. NO ROACH - Lets you specify how long your computer should wait before booting from hard drive. Specifically designed for the Mega ST/E and TT as they have internal hard drives. NVRAM 1.1 - An Auto folder program which resets the TT or Falcon's non-volatile RAM to the factory presets and a CPX which lets you customise the settings to your own preference. PINHEAD 1.8 - Speeds up the loading of programs on TOS versions 1.0 to 1.6. More or less performs the same functions as setting the Fastload bit on TOS 1.4 but is said to be more compatible with certain rogue applications. POOLFIX92 - A bug fixed version of various patch programs by Atari which are designed to fix memory compaction routines in the OS pool under TOS 1.4 and 1.6. OVFIX - Gets rid of the bug where the ESC character is sent continuously, causing the current directory to keep re-reading and a continuous tone to emanate from the keyboard. SHELL_FIX 1.3 - Allows programs which use TOS's shell functions to run from alternative Desktops (they normally only run from the GEM Desktop). STESOUND - Patches TOS 4.01 & 4.02 to initialise its STE compatible DMA sound, otherwise you get silence from programs which use DMA sound! STE_FIX - Patches the DESKTOP.INF of TOS 1.6 to overcome that version's inability to boot up in medium resolution. TOS14FX5 - A bug fixed version of Atari's patch which fixed the inability to use RTS/CTS handshaking and an odd problem whereby a program cannot locate its own RSC. These bugs only exist in TOS 1.4. TT GAMES - Several patches which make the TT more compatible with the ST so that many older programs may be run. They switch off the cache, switch to 24 bit addressing and allow some programs which execute from the bootsector to run. VDI_FIX 1.11 - Fixes the bug which results in the same VDI handles being given to two or more VDI workstations. Affects all TOS versions up to 3.05 (except for v1.2). GEMRAM 1.6/1.7 - Copies GEM to RAM so that it can be patched by other programs (eg SHBUF, ARROWFIX, WINX). SHBUF 1.3 - Patches GEM to increase the shell buffers of NEWDESK.INF. This lets you have more icons on the Desktop, more installed applications and prevents icons going 'missing' if your NEWDESK.INF exceeds 4K in size. Only needed in TOS 2.05 upwards. ARROWFIX 1.5 - Fixes the double scroll problem with the slider bars on GEM windows on certain TOS versions. WINX 2.2 - Patches the window handling of GEM to allow more windows to be open. It also adds a number of features to window handling, especially with regard to manipulating background windows without actually selecting them. FSERIAL 1.0 - A CPX which lets you configure your serial port. It is essentially a replacement for the MODEM.CPX but goes one better by supporting all legal serial ports (up to 4 on the TT). It works in conjunction with an Auto folder patch which allows speeds higher than 19200 to be selected (if your computer supports this). MSTE_GAL - Docs on how to program a GAL device which overcomes a bug in the Mega STE's serial port. You will of course need the appropriate hardware and software in order to blow the GAL. XSSD - A document detailing how to implement a protocol which adds extended functions to the serial I/O. HS MODEM 6 - Although a little fiddly to set up, this patch appears to fix all serial port related bugs on all TOS versions. It even supports DTE rates of up to 115200, hardware permitting and recognises the RSVE hardware upgrade used to increase the ST's maximum port speed from 19200 to 38400. Absolutely essential if using a high speed modem, desirable even if using a slower model. HS_FIX - Replaces the faulty CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.62, allowing you to use the built-in MNP compression used by high speed modems. RS232 ENHANCER 1.02 - Similar to HS_FIX, it cures bugs in the CTS/RTS handshaking in TOS versions up to 3.06. It lets you use GVC, Supra and Zyxel modems (which were previously incompatible) with your ST. RSRCADD - Lets you increase the size of TOS's serial send/receive buffer from 256 bytes to a maximum to 32 kilobytes in order to speed up throughput with fast modems. RS 1.03A - A modified version of RS232 Enhancer which increases the size of the send/receive buffers to 32K. SERIAL FIX 2 - Fixes the CTS/RTS problem and completely incorporates SERPATCH and TOS14FIX, eliminating the need to use those patches. Works on TOS versions up to 3.06. SERPATCH 2 - Fixes problems when using a word size of less than 8, handles parity errors correctly and fixes the CTS/RTS bug in TOS versions up to 1.62. GRAPHICS LIBRARY for Lattice C v5.06 & Sozobon C - An almost complete implementation of Turbo C graphics library which is 100% compatible as far as possible. Includes all the most useful functions eg; arc, circle, ellipse, bar, polygon, fill, line, with pattern and colour control. Full documentation and demos included. PORTABLE PROLOG v2.1 - This interpreter understands just about all of Clocksin & Mellish. It comes complete with examples and built-in Microemacs editor. The editor is well-documented! TEMPCALL - Invokes TEMPUS as an editor from the ST Pascal shell, I think! German code and I don't have either to test. MUSIC OF THE SHAPESHIFTERS VOL 3 - More than 60 tunes available from the click of the mouse. A superb collection from the most original music coders on the ST. Many tunes are repeated in PRG format, ready to go into your games. Others have full assembler source code. Great value. This disk was previously part of the BUDGIE UK range. DNT PAPER 3 by The DNT Crew - Released on 28/5/92. Another issue from our bi-lingual French friends. Although some articles are exclusively French and others are exclusively English, a number are done in both languages. In addition, this issue now runs in colour or mono.

Unfortunately both program and docs are in German. PSPRINT by Dr Karl Albert Brokstad - The ultimate intention of this program is that you should be able to drag any text file onto it and it will translate the file into PostScript format which is either stored or sent to the printer. At the moment it can only handle simple text files but may be extended to handle pictures .IMG and drawings .GEM . ZCONTROL V0.24 by Ralf Zimmermann - This is a beta version and runs ONLY under multi-tasking Systems. It will bomb-out if you try to start it under Single TOS. ZCONTROL is an alternative to XCONTROL without the bugs and will load the same CPX modules. It supports the following protocols - Drag Drop Iconify supports the Iconify Server by Dirk Haun if OS does not ordinarily support iconfication and the AV protocol and allows you to run up to four different modules at the same time.

It allows you to load, view, save and print probably more file types than anything else available. Here's a few of its supported formats:- Monochrome - IMG, PAC, PCB, CRG, ZFAX, QFAX, COMA, Papyrus (PRN), Calamus (print to disk), Quicklink faxes and Junior Office faxes. Colour graphics - GIF, TIFF, JPEG, Targa, BMP, XIMG, PCX, IFF, FLI, Photo CD, Degas and more. It also supports the viewing of hex dumps, mono RSC files and GEM Metafiles. Fonts in GDOS (both Intel and Motorola variants), Signum 2 and Calamus formats can also be displayed and sound samples in CrazySound, Sample-Wizard and Totosound formats can be played. You can even peek around inside LZH and ZIP archives and uuencode/uudecode files! Look 'N See is intelligent in that it can even display (or play) data which has been saved using the wrong extender as it analyses the data rather than just relying on the file extension. Look 'N See is modular in construction and has been available in Germany for some time. Consequently there are a number of third party modules available (99 of which are included!) which allow you to load or post-process images, text and samples. A unique feature of this application is its ability to view 'virtual' files. In other words, it loads files which are too large to fit into the available memory, in sections. There's also a number of conversion modules which convert 1st Word, PostScript and ST Guide files to ASCII. Look 'N See can be installed as an application so that double-clicking an appropriate data file loads it directly into the package. It may also be run as a PRG or ACC (needs 4 Mb) and is fully Multi-TOS, MagiC, MagiCMac, Freedom, Selectric, XACC, AV_protocol, drag & drop and ICFS compatible! In addition, up to 7 external programs can be called if running as ACCs (or PRGs if multi- tasking) from within Look 'N See. Printing is supported via GDOS. This Shareware version reminds you that you have not registered and displays the second and subsequent images in greyscale. Apart from that it is fully functional. Look 'N See has around 250K of English docs on disk and includes ST Guide (UTL.5557) help. Needs 1 Mb (2 Mb if running as an ACC.

It is designed for use with the Motorola DSP56001 as fiited in the Falcon 030 and includes a number of source files for you to play around with. The documentation is rather sparse and the program is best run from a command line. DSP_ASM - Lots of DSP assembler source. This is old source dating back long before the Falcon was conceived so it may need a bit of work to get is running with A56. All sources are accompanied by a short help file. LFED - A Line-F emulator for Ataris with a maths coprocessor fitted. It makes applications aware of the existence of the FPU. This leads to much faster execution of programs which can use it. Source code included in C and assembler. CHIPMUNK BASIC V1.0 - A version of the Basic language ported from Unix which runs as a CPX under XControl. There are versions for the 68000 68000 FPU 68030 and 68030 FPU. All commands are documented in English but the doc file for the program itself is in German MINT V1.14.7 - The complete C sources to MINT v1.142 as used in Multi-TOS. These sources are freely distributable but there are a number of restrictions on the redistribution of executables derived from them. The MINT sources run to over 900k so they have been compressed using ST Zip from FALC.4351. A56DISAS by Gabriel Sebestyen - Disassembles LOD files into DSP56001 source code. BUG_FAL7 - A Falcon compatible version of the Bugaboo debugger program from -Soft s Turbo Assembler package. QUICK DSP ASSEMBLER V0.02 by Audoly Gilles - A fast DSP assembler written in assembler. It is many times smaller and about 40 times times faster than the Motorola version The only drawback is that no error checking is done when compiling so you ve got to debug by hand. TOS_AES.SYS - Mini GEM library for the different AES versions hardware register listings and macros for the GEMDOS Bois and Xbios functions in TOS v4.02. There s also an ACC for changing the Desktop colours with full source. All sources are by DNT and are in 68030 assembler.

The intro scroller has a lot to say and covers a wide range of subject matter, including the final details of the forthcoming STOS Convention. The main menu is a keyboard driven scrolling affair this time. There's plenty for you to get your claws into....Letters, Problems, Contax, The Telegraph Pole, plus all the other regulars. Articles include info on music ACB's, the first in a series of idiot guides (covering sprite commands), part 6 of The Missing Link tutorial (file commands), a hard hitting article on piracy, tips on using SAMples, and AUTOEXEC.BAS explained. There's an amusing look at train spotters and the STOS tutorial explains Click Off, SAMspeed, Sound Init and much more. Also 'Is The ST Dead?', an article by Auld Bastid (the STOSSER artist). Finally, the reviews include Slide, and Topple In The Wild West. In addition, there's plenty more on disk to keep you busy. ANTI PC MEGADEMO 1 by Public Data Ltd - A demo whose sole aim in life (are demos alive?) is to promote the ST and Amiga whilst ridiculing the PC. Some bits are amusing, others are plain silly and the MOD file is well worth listening to. This demo claims to run equally well on an Amiga if you have Cross DOS, MessyDOS or similar! ST+ ISSUE 11, NOVEMBER 1996 - Dave and friends return with a bumper double disk issue. This month's reviews include Fight For Life (Jaguar), The Secrets Of Frontier Elite (Book), Wipeout 2097 (Playstation), Tekken II (Playstation) and Horse Racing simulator (ST). Games Cheats features masses of cheats for Ishar 2, Fontier Elite FAQ, hints and tips to the original Elite, cheats for Wipeout and an interesting piece explaining all about cheats, solutions, pokes, PUGs, Easter Eggs and anything else which can enhance your game playing.

Of course there's all the regulars too, including Editorial, Letters, News, Adverts, Stockmarket, Art Gallery and the Questionaire. And there's plenty more we don't have space to mention... DEATH OF A PRESIDENT - An impressive 3 disk set which investigates the assasination of John F Kennedy in 1963. The first disk contains a photographic database with accompanying text. The second is a collection of digitised recordings and extensive text files forming the background to the investigation. The final disk takes you to the scene of the crime immediately after it occured. You must investigate and come to your own conclusions. All data is based on evidence given to the Warren Commision and subsequent investigations. A factual historical investigation which pulls no punches. Highly recommended. Demoing - Music and scrolling text. Animated Turbine by Timothy Early using Cyber Paint. Engine showing moving parts by F Rawasi using Sprite Designer from Eidersoft. ST NEWS Vol 3 No 4 July 1988 - Adventure solutions to Shadowgate and Tanglewood. Articles include the new TOS, the SAG, the ST Virus, the Obliterator story, Forth programming and all about GDOS.

THE SPACE DEMO by The Megabusters - Guide your flying, roller skating turtle around the screen. As usual, each door leads to a different demo and there are eleven of them in all (including the reset demo). All demos are well done and the main menu uses no left or right borders. STOS Basic - Rolling demo of the programming language from Mandarin. STOSSER Issue 20 December 1994 - STOSSER is the only diskmag of its kind aimed purely at STOS users. It has lots of information which covers all aspects of STOS programming and all the latest news and reviews. Here's just a taste if what STOSSER 20 has for you:- Basic Tutorial part 19, Extra Tutorial part 5, A-Z of STOS continues with H and Your Problems Solved by Uncle Bob. In the 'Old V's New', Deano takes a looks at STOS with all the new extensions and sees how it compares to the older versions. Old Headers for New continues its series with parts 2 and 3 and there's ideas on how to spruce up your Desktop. Tony Greenwood takes a look 'In the Glossies' and gives us his opinions. Keefy gives us his rundown on which 10 disks he would have in his Desert Island Disk (Box). All the regular favourites continue including Letters, Adverts, Contacts, Telegraph Pole and the Giveaways. This diskmag is an essential source of information to any STOS user. Regardless of whether you are an absolute novice or an experienced programmer STOSSER is well worth a look. KILLING TIME by John Wangler and Jason Huerta - A 15 level game of skill. You begin in the Stone Age and progress through a number of different time zones, each one offering different adversaries. On each level you must shoot at the enemy or fire rocks at them, before they fire at you. Bonuses can be obtained but certain figures should not be shot at, so you'll need your wits about you. PRENSORIUM - An arcade type puzzle game played on a 20 by 10 grid, the aim of which is to destroy all your enemies on each of the 50 levels. They are removed from play by luring them into traps which you must place at strategic points. Various pick-up's can either help or hinder your progress. MUCH STOS GIGAZINE by Black Eagle - This seems to have been a one off diskzine for STOS programmers. It's fairly well put together with hints and tips on how to flash the disk drive lights in time to chip music, adding leading zeroes to any number (useful for highscore tables), including VU meters in demos, the use of Sine/Cosine paths in demos, giving your game characters artificial intelligence, and an article on how to plan out the creation of a demo. Several programs and sources are supplied which let you use speech synthesis, store more than one item in a STOS MBK, create your own scrolltext, change the colour of the STOS cursor and alter the default colour palette used by the GEM Desktop. There's reviews of Battle Master, The Chaos Engine, Moneymania 2, Mouthtrap and Roll It. There's also a collection of funny stories to help break up those hours of coding! Please note that you'll need the Misty and Missing Link extensions to use most of the sources on this disk. An invaluable diskzine for STOS programmers, pity it was a one off. ICTARI #6 AUGUST 1993 - This month's issue has quite a few executables on it as well as the usual source code. The Assembler section continues the serialisation of Arp Book, has an AVR player for the STE, routines to check if the mouse is within a specified area on screen, initialise GEM, intall an interrupt in a VBL queue, generate a random number within a specified range, perform horizontal scrolling on a mono display, and calculate the square root of a 32-bit number, all meticulously documented. Tim Orens' Professional GEM series continues with part 7, there's the beginnings of an address book written in Pascal and the full sources to a STOS demo. This month's GFA section has an improved version of last month's mini-demo, a GFA v2 conversion of the infinite sprites routine, another starfield routine and about 20 invaluable GFA procedures, all well documented. There's also the compiled version of last month's STE sampling program, BASIC (HiSoft and STOS) routines for replaying Master Sound samples on an STFM, another border removal routine and a handwriting recognition program! INSIDE INFO 53 - The Aussie disk mag returns with another totally chock full disk of data. Information includes TT prices & availability, FSM GDOS, the great IBM/APPLE collaboration and more worldwide news than any other magazine! There is a massive amount of software reviewed in this issue, including a head to head comparison of the software accelerators Turbo ST and Quick ST, a look at all the latest Codehead utilities and the low down on the Stealth comms package. Read the interview with the Managing Director of Atari Germany and discover the different versions of TOS. There's all the usual articles, including the Portfolio column and a big LYNX column this time! There are also lots of hardware articles including practical ways to stop cartridges slipping out of the port and fitting a memory upgrade. THE ALF III DEMO by Next - Yet another superb megademo. This one has 8 sub demos, several of which are cloned from the Amiga. The main menu may look familiar! Contains bad language, do not order if you are likely to be offended. Needs 1 Meg. ST NEWS Vol 2 No 6 August 1987 - Articles include 68000 programming and Forth programming. Solutions to Guild of Thieves, Ballyhoo, Enchanter, Seastalker. Reviews are of TNT, Auto Duel, Sentinel, GI Sound Trol, Tai Pan, ST Info, Tracker, PC_Ditto, S.A.M. Digitiser. NOT STE. ST NEWS Vol 2 No 7 October 1987 - Solutions to Kings Quest II and Spiderman. Articles include the Mega ST, the Blitter, interviews with David Whittaker and Shiraz Shavji, Forth programming and advanced raster programming. Reviews are of AS Sound Sampler, Knight Orc, Airball Construction Kit, K-Roget, Terrorpods, 3D Galax, F15 Strike Eagle. NOT STE EATYWORD - One for the youngsters. On each level you must spell a word by eating the letters in the correct order, using the joystick as they float down the screen. ROBUGS - Design and build your own robots and watch them interact on a playfield which you also design. A very involved and challenging game. TETR - You play against the computer at a game which involves arranging tiles in a particular way. WIZARD OF WAR - A gauntlet style game. Guide your figure around the maze, avoiding the enemy when possible. THE MAGGIE GUIDE TO A CLASSIC VIDEOGAME LIFESTYLE by sh3 -Just like Eezi-PC and Best of Issues 1-11, this is another one-off production from the Maggie team. It is a collection of articles about video games and games consoles which pre-date the ST. There's the Classic Atari, Atari 8- bit, Vectrex and Intellivision FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), technical specifications for the Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Colecovision, Vectrex and Intellivision consoles, and lists of software and hardware released for all these machines. Other features include cheat codes, hints and tips, DIY hardware projects, the history of Colecovision, voice synthesis on the Intellivision and the complete technical reference manual to the Atari 8-bit machines. There's even information on some really obscure consoles like the RCA Studio II, Fairchild Channel F, Odyssey 2 and Aquarius! An impressive compilation which tells you everything you might want to know about the pre- ST gaming days and a whole lot more.... Calligrapher Professional Demo from Working Title . A usable demo of this top of the range document processor. Save and print are disabled in this version. Needs 1 Meg. EXECUTE by Mikael Lundqvist - Lets you run other tasks in parallel with the CLI on a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC Geneva or Multi-TOS. You can also search for programs and files. FAKEMINT V1.0 by Guido Flohr - Many programs are compliled with GNU C using the MintLib library files to ensure compatibility with MiNT. However many of these programs do not actually use any of the features present in MiNT. Others use features which are also present in Geneva and MagiC. Such programs check to see if MiNT is running if not they exit. This program installs a cookie which makes programs think that MiNT is running. It allows most MiNT programs to run on other multi-tasking OSs and perhaps some may even work under TOS. Please note FAKEMINT does not actually install any of MiNT s features it just fools the system into thinking MiNT is present. Consequently programs which do use MiNT specific features will crash your system GEM LOAD V1.5 by Markus Pristovsek - Displays the system workload graphically. It is indicative of how processor-intensive programs are though its information is for the system as a whole rather than for individual programs. Most useful with a multi-tasking OS but also runs as an ACC under TOS. THE ATARI COMPENDIUM ST-GUIDE HYPERTEXT by JaySoft - An ST-Guide front end to the popular Atari Compendium CD-ROM. The Atari Compendium has its index presented in HTML format ordinarily but this package offers the now standard ST-Guide as an alternative front end. Please note this disk is of no use to you unless you own a copy of the Atari Compendium CD-ROM. Also it needs to be run from a hard drive. CC10F - French docs RSC and help files for Currency Converter on FALC.6133. HDD_DMN by MC Soft - Yet another attempt to connect an Atari to a PC using the parallel port but this one is very different. As well as allowing file transfers to and from the PC can t transfer to the PC unless your PC has a bi-directional parallel port it also lets you run DOS programs on an ST doesn t work on a Falcon gives access to networked drives and supports all PC models from the 286 upwards. PC drives are seen as Atari drives and you can load or save data directly to/from them as if they were connected to your Atari. Both Atari and PC software is included on the disk along with details of how to make up the required lead to connect the two machines. If you already use Parallel Copy FALC.5779 or Paralink 2000 the lead from that can be used. Although not lightning fast transfer speeds are up to 20 times that which can be achieved using a null modem cable. Registered users can print directly to the PC s printer and automatically synchronise their clock to the PCs PEEKS & POKES MUSIC DISK 1 - An impressive collection of 7 MOD files with accompanying graphics. All music and graphics are converted from the Amiga. Very high quality. Stereo sound if you have an STE. 3 Calculators . Calendar - takes date from setting on internal clock. Sundog adventure clues. Date/Time - enter date and time-could be used in an autofolder. Digiwatch-digital clock accessory. Index-directory printer. Intramdsk- ramdisk accessory. Modem7 - allows batch processing for uploading and downloading files. 2 Ram Disks. Sterm-VT52 emulator. Texas- the Texas TI59 calculator with full functions. Tiny Basic -a new basic to try. Fully documented with a game thrown in. Tinytool-disassemble and alter memory or disk data. IBMPC.PRG- who said the PC was slow-no we don't have an IBM emulator, just a sick joke. Icon8 - icon generating program. Palette- shows all 512 colours on screen at once. Gem Tutorials - in ST Writer format (see WRD.07). Copy2 - copies files to ramdisk. Command2- command shell. Datetime- place in autofolder- prompts for date and time on startup. Label- good printer label program. Gemini 10X-printer driver for 1st Word. Memtest- tests for errors in computer's memory locations. Mushroom - run after system crash for analysis. RDC-makes multiple copies of disks on 1 or 2 drive systems. Disk Sector Editor- can alter data on disk and can recover corrupt data (if you know what you are doing). ST520RPM-checks disk drive speed. Volume- allows you to change the disk volume label. ECHO's MUSIC Disk 2 - A collection of 9 tunes composed by Echo using Microdeal's Quartet. These are saved as executable files and each one loads up with an impressive picture. Highly recommended. ASSIGN-ED - An easy to use GEM based program which allows you to add or delete fonts from your ASSIGN.SYS file using simple mouse clicks, rather than having to type it all in from a text editor. It also lets you see what the font looks like using some example text. Multi-TOS compatible too. CPX SPY v1.11 by Gary Priest - Displays the version numbers of all CPX files on your system. This allows you to easily distinguish which are newer versions of CPXs that you already have. You can also view a CPXs attributes, change directory and copy new CPXs into your usual CPX folder. Multi-TOS compatible. SET TIME V1.32 - A small Auto folder patch which displays the current time and date at boot up. Hold down ALT if you want to change the setting, otherwise ignore it and the bootup process continues after a few seconds. EDOS_121 - Patches all versions of the CD-ROM driver software ExtenDOS up to 1.20 to v1.21. Obviously you will require an original copy of ExtenDOS in order to use this patch. This patch removes some bugs from v1.20 and adds Photo CD support. SYSINFO by Christophe Boyanique - Performs an extensive system check and saves out an extensive listing of your system set up, system variables, contents of the cookie jar and just about everything else you can think of. He has also included a listing of the commonly used cookies (on all Ataris), their IDs and their meanings. RUNECASTER by Andy Norfolk - Rather an odd program which doesn't really fit into any category. This program teaches you about the traditional order of the rows and the meanings of each rune. The three traditional rune poems are also included for you to learn. Finally, you can use the program for divination and read your own runes. For those of us who know little or nothing about Runes, the doc file is very helpful in its introduction and goes on to recommend several books on Runes. To reiterate what the author has said, we take no responsibility for your interpretation of what the Runes say - your destiny is in your own hands! SOZOBONX by Jerry Geiger and others - An eXtended version of the Alycon C compiler, Sozobon C v2.00 from Germany. This Freeware two disk set has extensive documentation in both English and German and is very close to being fully ANSI/POSIX compatible. It is currently being maintained and updated by seven different authors and promises even greater things to come. This latest version supports profiling, pre- compiling and has an in-built source level debugger and code optimiser. Finished code is converted to assembler before being linked to create the executable program. The runtime library files included, Xdlibs, are an optimised version of Dale Schumacher's Dlibs from the original Sozobon distribution and the GEM library is an adaptation of Ian Lepore's GEMFAST. Although designed to run from a CLI, SozobonX includes HAR v3.00 by Holger Weets, which is a graphic based front end similar in feel to his excellent Pacshell on UTL.4654. Extensive on-line Help is supplied by way of ST-Guide files (ST-Guide not included). There are no minimum hardware requirements but 1 Meg and a hard drive are recommended as being the minimum for most purposes. ICEHAPPY by ICE - A rather simple but effective STE acid house sound demo with patterns formed from spinning shapes instead of flashing smiling faces. XTREAM 94 by Extream - The Extream New Year Intro of 1994. A great intro with atmospheric sound, falling snow and scrollers all running simultaneously. STE ONLY. MUMMY'S PLAYTIME by Silly Software - Deano makes his return with this highly amusing monster release. It's absolutely packed with sampled speech from the minute you load up. The highly amusing intro ends with Deano playing the can-can on a piano! On the main menu, Mummy (apparently based on a real person) asks you which of the four games you want to play. Here's a quick run down of the four games. BANGMAN - An adaptation of hangman. Mummy thinks of a word and you must guess a letter. A stick of dynamite is placed in the poor sod's pocket every time your guess is wrong. Seven incorrect guesses and Mummy's favourite troll presses the plunger and blows him up! GO TROLL - A version of the card game fish (anyone heard of it?). All the cards feature trolls. Ask Mummy if she has a particular troll. If she does, you get it, otherwise you pick a card from the pile, then it's Mummy's turn. If you collect four of the same troll, you get a "book". The aim of the game is to get more books than Mummy. CHASE THE TROLL -A version of Chase The Ace. Mummy asks you to find a named troll (it helps if you are an expert on trolls!) and you must click onto the card you think has that troll's picture on it. CHOO CHOO SHOE SHOOT - You are on the platform of a railway station and Mummy has lost her shoes. The object of the game is to shoot the pairs of shoes which appear in the train's windows. There are other things, bad guys included, to shoot at. Get hit five times and the game's over! The first Silly Software release in a couple of years and well worth getting your hands on. Although it's obviously aimed at young children, it's a fun game for those of us who have not yet grown up! Needs 1Mb. A hard drive is recommended but not essential. Please note, the four games do not run independently, you need to order all the disks. SMG - A simple memory game by Howard Clarke. The game begins with a grid containing some hidden numbers, your task is to uncover the numbers in chronological order, but only one number is revealed at a time. Easy at first but, as the number of squares in the grid increases, this really does test your memory. Would make an excellent game for children. For one to five players. STARBOX by Howard Clarke - This is a logic game for two players. Click on a square in a large grid to reveal the symbol beneath. Some symbols give points, others end your turn, but the majority give clues to the position of other point-giving symbols. Your aim is to amass more points than your opponent. TRIAD - A Space strategy game for one or two players. You must destroy the enemy using the different types of starship at your disposal. Each type of craft has different strengths and abilities and so you must use your knowledge to outsmart your opponents. Not a shoot 'em up, although the game contains some shooting. More a game for the strategists. Autofix - Allows programs designed to be run from an Auto folder to be double clicked from the Desktop. Automation Packer v2.5 - Perhaps the most powerful of all file packers. Boot Em Up - Install one of six customised boot sectors or anti-viruses. B_S_Grab & B_S_Make - Use these programs to grab boot sectors and save them to disk for later installation onto other disks. Hospital - A number of programs designed to deal with viruses. IS_GDOS - Reports whether or not GDOS is installed. Megakill v1.2 - A virus killer program. This one even checks for viruses in memory. Regrettably it thinks you have a virus in memory if you are using a hard drive! Nsyscom v1.2 - Prints up the actions of the Gemdos, Bios, Xbios and GEM (AES and VDI) actions to the screen. Pinhead 1.8 - The latest update to the program that speeds up loading on your ST. Protect v3 - Another Anti-Virus. Resetcol - Resets Desktop colours back to the GEM default settings.You can also grab any RGB palette for inclusion in your own C programs. Ultrapak - Packs/depacks entire disks rather than individual files. Virdog v1.8 - Prints up a message if an executable boot sector or known virus is found. Bootclr - Examines and/or repairs boot sectors. Immune - Lets you write your own message to the boot sector. If this message does not appear on boot up, you have a virus on the disk. Arcgshell v3.2 - An update to the shell program on UTL.202. Allows easy access to the most common archiver programs. Setup91 - Checks system date. If before 1991, it prompts you for the time/date. Bootset - Allows you to select which Auto programs and ACCs to load up. Codes - Press a key and this program prints up it's ASC value. Epson - Calls trap to initialise 9-pin printer. FCat - Concatenates files. Mach_Gun - A fun accessory. Nobel - Turns the keyboard click on or off. Protect 2 - Another virus protector from The Medway Boys. Trykload - Allows you to use Wordtryk (WRD.26) time after time without having to re-load after each document. Version - Displays TOS and GEM versions being used. Weekday - Calculates the day of the week for any date. Clip art in IMG format . Files are 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 5, 50 to 54, EXAMPLE1, FROG 1, 2, HEADNG 01 to 08, 7DRWHO, ABODES, AMPRSND1, AMPRSND2, AMPRSND3, ANIME, AROUND, ATARI, BORDERS1, BORDERS2, CARTOONS, CLIP1, HEDGEHOG, HONDAENG. Easygrade - a program for teachers. You can create a list of pupils in a class and save them to disk. You then assign the various grades to that pupil depending on how he performs. It is now possible to view all past exam results without wading through piles of paperwork. Just double - click the pupils name and up come the grades. You can set percentage levels for the appropriate grades, show statistics as a histogram, view class data rather than individual data and even print out data. Save is disabled in this version. This program comes from Australia. Lewis 123 - it is described as a spreadsheet for chemistry students, chemistry professors and anyone else who deals with covalent binding. Lewis 123 can also reduce the time necessary for an organic chemist to draw the multitude of organic structures he may have to depict. Picture files created can be saved in Degas or Metafile format. Regrettably Lewis 123 is mono only. VC Spreadsheet Calculator - VC is based on rectangular tables in a similar manner to Visicalc or Lotus 123. It is NOT Gem based but is very flexible. It would appeal more to the dedicated spreadsheet user than the average ST user. A full user manual is provided on disk. Transistor - a program which allows you to draw electronic circuits. A complete library of objects is provided on disk. There are just two drawbacks. The documentation is German (although the program is in English) and the program is mono only. THE OXIEWARE CFN COLLECTION DISK 5 - Contains the following fonts:- CHIC, COMEDY ONE, COMEDY TWO, COOPERATE, COOPERATE ITALIC, COTTONFIELDS, CROTALE, CUCKOO, DELPHIN, DOM CASUAL, DOM CASUAL BOLD, ELEKTA, ENVY. ST+ #19, JULY 1997 - This month sees a completely new interface for ST+. Selecting icons on the perimeter pulls up the appropriate sub-menu. Move the mouse in the central area and a 3D cube follows it in real time. You can change the tiles behind the cube, change hertz rate, choose from 9 music files, start up the screen saver, bring up a clock and more! Sound gimmicky? Well it's not, in fact this is a nice easy to use shell, a major improvement over previous issues. As for content, I counted 114 articles but may have missed some. There's news of the TUS IDE interface for STs, Aircars for the Jaguar and more info and maps for the forthcoming Atari Shows. Reviews include Iron Soldier, Tempest 2000 and Missile Command (all Jaguar), Chess, Crystal Mines 2, Dirty Larry, Dracula, Electrocop, Euro Soccer, Zendocon, Gauntlet and Hard Drivin' (all Lynx), Turok - Dinosaur Hunter (N64), Battle of Britain, Xenon II, Hunter and Chaos Strikes Back (all ST), Crapman, Zero 5 and Power Up (all ST and Falcon). A new DIY section reviews the AdSpeed CPU accelerator and there are various DIY electronics projects which let you pipe STFM sound through an amplifier, add 32,768 colour support to an STFM, adapt the cartridge port into a read/write interface, upgrade an STFM to 2.5Mb, build an adaptor which lets you use 4 joysticks and an article on the MC68901 MFP chip. The beginners' section has a tutorial on Pagestream 2, a beginners' guide to hard drives and a list of Atari based publication. There are of course all the usual features including Letters, Adverts, STOS Programming, Assembler Programming, Comms, Music, Sci-Fi and an extended User Groups section. One of the best issues to date. Needs 1 Mb. Clip Art in IMG format . Files are MONST011 to MONST030. MCHK1 v1 . An entire disk devoted to upgrading memory and memory testing. Extensive technical documentation put together from countless sources along with numerous PD/Shareware programs. This disk is a must if you are considering upgrading your ST's memory. FLI ANIMATIONS DISK 44 - Two more 256 colour animations from the PC. DUDE - A speeded up animation of one of those flourescent lamps in which bubbles of wax float around. BOOKSPIN - A light sourced book spins into view on a blue sky backdrop. It then opens up and flicks through a few pages of print. A true work of art. Needs 4 Meg. MPEG ANIMATIONS DISK 2 - Five short True Colour animations based on flight. Player program supplied. ALIEN - A flight across a strange mountainous landscape through deep ravines. BIGBEND - A high speed flight across an ever changing mountainous lanscape towards the sea. You pass across barren land forests and eventually a fertile area of greenery as you approach the sea. F16 - An F16 fighter flies towards you turns and heads off into the distance. FLIGHT - Your view is from a camera mounted on the underside of a large aircraft. Watch three jet fighters flying below you bank off to the left and right then see the aircraft itself turn. Great scenery below throughout the action. GRAND - A flight across a fractal generated landscape which could very well be the Grand Canyon. Although most of these animations really need 4 Meg they will play from disk if you have less. However you cannot legally exit the player program on a 1 Meg machine and will have to reset. CLIPIT VOL7 - A collection of excellent hand drawn clip art in IMG format. Files are RABBIT, READ01, READ02, READ03, ROBOT01, ROCK01, ROLLER, RUNNING, SCOOTER, SCREEN, SIGNPOST, SPACESAT, SUN01, TAXI01, TAXI02, TENNIS01, THINKER, TOAST01, TREASURE, TREE01, VAN01, WHBARROW, WHEELCH, XROADS. Two SEUCK games , plus an introductory demo. RUTHLESS - A lone spaceship battles against waves of enemy attackers in this vertical scrolling game. Also included is a demo version of Ruthless 2, a followup to the original. TURBOWARS - Enemy forces will stop at nothing to thwart your plans, you battle against them to reach your HQ in this one or two player vertical shoot 'em up game. Your turbo charged car being your best means of success. STOSSER Issue 21 January 95 - This month's issue covers various subjects including an introduction to 'C', an ST or PC debate, some information on binary and how to get your hands on scrolling routines and other STE stuff. Tony wanders down memory lane, Post Mortem looks at your ST's 'Black Box', Keefy reports on the Birmingham ATARI Show, there's more letters on ST Format and Time Trials looks at which is faster SCREENCOPY, M BLIT or SKOPY 4 and there's an article on insurance. All the regulars including Adverts, Telegraph Pole, Competitions, Problems Solved, Contacts, PD of the Month and Letters are there.
