ably does, but a quick

plete coverage cl the

for the ambitious owner, we have a first look at
CVP'i exciting new AS3Q unit, there's Amos Pro

the budget-conscious user with an eye on accelera-

tion. Cold Disk Office 2 for the home and small busi-
ness productivity fiends. Paint ft Create For parents
with educational interests, structured drawing pack-
ages, and a full-blown comms special for beginners

everywhere.

Top this off with another great CtwerDisk, another
instalment of our beginners' series, the latest games
in Ccrmer, Amigo Martel for buyers, and two competi-
tions instead of the usual one, and we think you II
agree there's something for everyone.

The AiuifjEi 570 CD Drive has arrived. A major leap forward for you. But a slight problem for our photographer. Because just
one compact disc Inserted Into this ingenious machine can store the equivalent of up to "'OO floppy discs - iar loo many to fit into
a single photograph. That's an astonishing 550 Megabytes of memory, or 250,000 A4 pages of test. Enough to instantly transform

your Amiga 500 Plus into an Interactive multi- media player with the capabilities of CDTV.

In short, a real power-house. And one fully equipped to take advantage of over 100 CD titles already
available covering everything from education to entertainment. The Amiga 570 CD Drive can also be used
as a regular audio CD player, So Its retail price of only £349.99, including our free Public Domain

Collection disc, should come as music to your chec|ue book. We could go on and
on about the Amiga 570. But how much more information coold you possibly want?

Failed firm
keeps on
repairing
Amigas

COMMODORE say service and Sup-
port of Amiga products will not be
affected by Wang's recent decision
to file lor Chapter 11 bankruptcy in
the United States.

The move gives the computer
giant court protection from credi-
tors while they restructure, and
they have told Commodore that
their service organisation will con-
tinue to operate.

Wang took over Amiga repairs
soon after the collapse of
Commodore national repair centre
FMC in June and have always been
responsible For A6O0 on-site
warranty.

' J AH the news and excitement
about Wang relates solely to the
American parent company/'
claimed Commodore UK's manag-
ing director Kelly Sumner.

jr Our position in the UK Is totally
unaffected. Vm completely comfort-
able with the situ a lion particularly
the at-home support for the Amiga
600 /

Wang chairman Richard Miller
saldi "Our aim is to focus on the
service business and the develop-
ment and sale of software, and to
shrink manufacturing operations."

Miller aims to turn Wang into a
smaller, more competitive
company.

CD-ROM

to go internal

OFFICIALS from Commodore's
Maidenhead office have confirmed
that the giant are developing an
Internal CD-ROM drive for Amigas
with remote keyboards. No details
are being given on availability or
pricing.

Cut sends
sales soaring

COMMODORE claim Amiga sales
have increased four- fold following
since the A60Q‘s recent £ 100 price
cut,

The company say that one High
Street chain which promoted the
machine heavily reported a seven
fold increase in sales over the previ-
ous week.

Commodore say many hide pen
deni retailers are now trying to
switch sell Nintendo and Sega
potential purchases to Amiga, point-
in g out Lhal while Ihe Amiga still I
costs £100 more, Amiga software Is
much cheaper ,

"It seems to be working and the
dealers and the High Street have cer-
tainly got behind It/ said
Commodore's Kelly Sumner,

"It's too early to say what that
means to the overall picture for the
year but it certainly means our
100,000 forecast will he achieved
how many more we can't base three
weeks sales on,'

Irvine gets
Amiga plant

MANUFACTURING and assembly of
Auiigas fur Britain jnd many parts of
Europe hai moved to Irvine,
Scotland, securing more lh<m 200
jobs at the 110,000 square foot
plant

All Amiga models will be built -H
the laclory, which is owned by an
American associate company oi
Commodore s called SCI. The com
pany also produce Amiga* in the Far
East.

'Its basically endorsing our belle!
in whal the Amiga market is going
to be and whal it is at the moment;
said Commodore boss Kelly Sumner.

He added:: "It's nol easy and El l
not cheap to set up a production
plant/

Bruce Armstrong, SCI * senior vice
president for Europe said" "Irvine,
our European headquarters. Is cen-
tral In our plans for growth, This
contract from Commodore rein-
forces all the hard work anti dedica-
tion put in by everyone concerned. '

Board goes ID

REAL ID now features as part of
Amiga Iwapshop bulletin board. It
contains a message and file area and
competitions. Modem users should
dial Q81-9H6 5964, at up to 14,400
baud and 8 N 1 ,

A4000 now due October, A2200 scrapped

BOSSES at Commodore have spoken more about the new
MOOT, as its launch dale is put back lo the end of October.

The firm have confirmed the machine will run from a 68040
processor but now say that it will not be available optionally
with a 68030*

It will be available with either a 52 or 105Mb hard drive and
feature the new AA chip set, giving the machine spectacular
graphics.

But Commodore's Kelly Sumner says the A40G0 has the usual
sound capability. Speculation within the industry suggested the
computer would have 16-bit sound.

The computer is claimed to be downwardly compatible
and at the moment is housed in a PC case, slightly smaller
than the A3000, And in a shock move, Commodore

have scrapped the machine intended to lake over as a mid-
range Amiga, just weeks before It was due to be shown in
Bii tain.

Powered by a 68020 processor, the A22GQ would have filled
the gap left when the manufacturer stopped production of the
A15QG and A200G.

Commodore boss Kelly Sumner expects that after its recent
price cub the A30QQ can fill this role.

Meanwhile, a well-placed source has told Amiga Computing
that Commodore wifi show a new Amiga aimed at competing
against Atari's new £499 Falcon in October.

Commodore, however, insist that it will be next year before
inch an Amiga arrives- They will not give any clues to its
specifications.

Library closes
during probe

WITH one Atari 5T public domain
library already closed, Amiga outlets
are this month waiting to see if trad-
ing standards officers will rule sound
and product demonstration disks

In a hid to assist them with their
investigation into alleged copyright
infringement, Dorset Trading
Standards officers seized disks from
South West Software Library in
February.

The investigations have not been
concluded but if the disks are found to
breach copyright, Amiga libraries
could be told to remove simitar disks
from their catalogues.

Demonstration disks are popular
among public domain buyers and a
ban on their distribution could lead to
financial crisis for many libraries,

‘“My wife and I ran the library as a
hobby, and a hobby Should be fun.
Unfortunately, this is no longer true, ,v
iaid SWSL's proprietor Martyn Dry den.

Irvine gets Amiga plant

MANUFACTURING and assembly of Amigas for Britain and many parts of Europe
has moved to Irvine, Scotland; securing more than 200 jobs at the BO, 000

square foot plant.

All Amiga models will be built at the factory, which is owned by an American
associate company of Commodores called SCI. The company also produce
Amigas in the Far East.

ItS basically endorsing our belief in what the Amiga marker ts going to be
and what it is at the moment/ said Commodore boss Kelly Sumner.

He added: 'ft's not easy and it s not cheap lo set up a production plant.

Bruce Armstrong, SCl J s senior vice president for Europe said: "Irvine, our
European headquarters, is central in our plans for growth.

"This contract from Commodore reinforces all the bard work and dedication

put in by everyone concerned."

Cheaper CD games coming?

WHEN Sensible Soccer is released for the CDTV this winter its price will be £19.99, £5

cheaper than the Amiga floppy disk-based versions,

The announcement adds weight to recent Commodore claims that compact disc
games will become cheaper than equivalent programs or floppy disk.

Renegade's Tom Watdon said; "We hope to release Sensible Soccer CD at 119.99. This
is to give potential buyers a dear indication that the possible benefits of a CD drive go
beyond sheer memory."

Kelly Sumner, bead ol Commodore UK, says he hopes for CD games lo cost between
£1 1 and £1 4 in a couple ol years time.

Top driving utilities
from Moonlighter

MOONLIGHTER Software Development have launched Ami-Back Tools, an Amiga
disk utilities program designed to keep floppy and hard disk doves in top

condition.

Among its line-up of features are a disk optimise that ensures data is stored as
efficiently as possible and a utility that examines disks for problems and repairs

them if needed, .

A recovery program can be used for retrieving deleted files and data from

crashed disks, a wipe utility lo dear disks of their contents and Lab Test will check
and compare checksums for file corruption and virus protection,

* J Amiga users have been clamouring for a professional disk utilities package
with the same high quality of Ami-Back/ said Cary Holland, President of
Moonlighter Software Development.

,J Ami-Back Tools is our answer to all these users, and we are certain they wi
find this package unmatched by any other utilities package available for the

Planets put
on screen

SIMULATING a planetarium on Amigas is
Voyager vl.1, an astronomy program
which its developer Carina Software (010
1 510 552 7332) claim provides years of
wonder and discovery.

It creates a sky of start* planets, galaxies
and constellations and animates motions
of the planets.

Each can toe explored through an intu-
itive interface.

Its database of more than 3Q r Q00
objects can be extended to a total ol
about 250,000,, and already the program
Is being used in hundreds of universities
and schools.

Version 1.1 of the software contains
PAL, overscan and pictures ot astronomi-
cal objects displayed within the program.
Requiring two disk drives it costs £89.99
from UK supplier HB Marketing (0753
686000).

hope for
best seller

PRINTER giant Seikosha have launched a
new low cost 24-pin model for the
home user, small business and educa-
tion markets which the firm believe will
become a best seller within months.

With a recommended price of £239,
the 5L-9Q prints at up to 240 characters
per second in draft mode, and it has a
graphics resolution of 360 x 360 dots
per inch.

It comes with a 20 k buffer and two
fonts - seven more can be bought as
extras on font cards at £22 each. A vari-
ety of typestyles and attributes are avail-
able for each font.

Information

TORTV-FIVE types of charts can be
displayed on Amigas to communicate
information in a new package from
the United States.

Charts fs Graphs contains line, col-
umn, bar, pie and text charts which
can be combined to produce com-
pound charts and shown In 2D or
3D.

I nEormation can be imported Rom
spreadsheets and output to printers,
saved as PostScript files or IFF images.
Charts can be loaded into desktop pub-
lishing and wordprocessing software.

A spokesman for developer
Technical Resource Systems
Laboratory said: "It was designed to
provide Amiga users with a sophisti-
cated, modestly-priced package.

H'he key considerations in the
design of this software were provide
ing the user with flexibility in the

tage of the Amiga's capabilities in

CD accessible

AIMING to make Amiga CD-based soft-
ware accessible to developers is a new
hardware and software package from
Clarinet Systems (0276 600398).

Using the system, developers can pro-
duce "check discs' 1 on site, and it is
claimed the system pays for itself after
the first dozen or so discs have been
pressed in-house.

Commodore's |im Mackonochie, gen-
eral manager of CDTV development for
Europe, said that before the launch of
Clarinet's system, pre-production test
discs cost about £500 each. The system
costs £1581.25.

ews

T he World of Commodore Amiga
show,, held In Pasadena, California
was the most upbeat Amiga show
I'd ever attended.,

HofO in the US, it seemed as if each
Amiga show was just a little mqre depress-
ing than the previous one.

No more. This show set a new standard
for excitement in the Amiga market - even
the Comdex where they introduced the
Amiga 500 and 2000 didn't generate this
much excitement Bath Commodore and
its third-party developers amazed the atten-
dees with some truly exciting new
products.

A4000 unveiled

Impressive

Commodore unveiled the Amiga 40(H)
to an excited public. The specifications
don L match many of the rumours you've
seen in the press over the past year,, but
they're quite impressive nevertheless,

The A4000 is based" around a 2 5 MHz
68040 microprocessor, 2Mb of chip RAM,
4Mb of fail RAM, the Advanced Graphics
Architecture chip set (formerly known as
AA), tour 2orro III slots, three PC slots, a
video sloL and a processor slot.

The machine also sports a high-density
(1.76Mb} floppy drive, iwo 3, Sin drive bays
(one internal) and one 5.2Sin bay for a CD-
ROM or tape backup drive. The 120Mb

hard drive uses a 16-bit IDE, rather than
SCSI, interface, which is quite a disappoint-
ment, but Commodore promises a 32-bil
Zorro 111 SCSI-2 card before Christmas,

The system runs AmigaDGS 10, which
is essentially Amiga DO 5 2.1 with added
support for the Advanced Graphics
Architecture (AG A) and a few added
utilities,

this is a dream
Amiga, The AGA
graphics chips ^re blaz-
ingfy fast, and sport a
full 16 million colour
palette. The available
resolutions are the
same as the ECS chips
(up to 1280x512 PAL,
pfus overscan), but. you
can new use up to 256
colours in any resolu-
tion,

Also, the new HAMB
mode allows 262 r Q00 colours on-screen at
one time. This is effectively a& good as- true
24-bit graphics, as there are fewer than
262,000 pixels on-screen
simultaneously,

A Commodore employee
demonstrated a HAMB ray-
traced animation that updated
at 60 frames per second in 640
x 400 resolution!

He stated that the A4000
can handles 60 frame per sec-
ond animation in any resolu-
tion and colour depth - with
AmigaDGS 3.0's new Intuition
double -buffering,, the A400Q
can swap up to 2000 frames
per second, but no monitor

Denny Atkin reports on the latest
developments at the hottest
Amiga show in the USA

could handle that kind of screen update
speed. The AGA chip set includes Alice,
which replaces Agnus and supports 2Mb of
Chip RAM, and Lisa, which replaces Denise
and provides the full 24-bft palette.

The graphics chips now have 32-bft
access to Chip memory, but a special mode
allows them to do iwo fetches in a single

cycle - effectively
providing 64-bit
access to Chip mem-
ory!

These chips aren't
compatible with
older Amiga 5,
although I'm certain
some enterprising
third-party company
wiN find a way to
cram them into the
500, 2000, and

3000.

Tou can add up
lo a total of ?6Mb ol fast RAM on the
motherboard using standard 32-bit SIMM
modules.

The new Workbench is amazing. Not
oniy can you display 256 colours on your
Workbench, but you can also use a 256-
colour IFF picture as a backdrop. The
Workbench does slow down a bit with that
much colour resolution, but it's still faster
ihan a 16-colour Workbench on an older
Amiga.

II you drop down to 64 colours^ screen
updating is as fast as a four-colour
Workbench on a classic Amiga. The
A4QQ0 , i 68040 is on a plug-in card that
goes in the machine's processor socket -
there's no processor on the motherboard,
fhfs indicates that Commodore may bring

out a 68030 or even 68020 version simpfy
by substituting a new processor card, and
possibly reducing the number of slots
and putting the motherboard in a slimline
case.

This is reinforced by the fact that
Commodore labels the front of the
machine 'A4000/040/ 1

Commodore's new Vice President of
Engineering, Lou Eggebrecht, gave some
vivid hints of developments to come in the
Amiga market during Saturday's keynote
speech.

Graphics chips

All new Amigas Commodore desrgns will
use the AGA graphics chips or belter,
Commodore will bp taking a two-tiered
approach to development, working to
create a hoi new machine for the low end
and continuing high-end development as
well.

The goal is to reduce the basic consumer
Amiga to two chips to reduce costs -
A4000-level Amiga* will be only four chips
making up a total of over a million
transistors.

High level machines may support up to
Ik x 3k graphics with true 24 -bit colour,
DSP sound will also appear in future
machines. Me afso hinted of Amiga DOS 3.1,
with network support, and AmigaDOS 4.0,
which will support re largetable graphics,

Trie company is using new development
techniques that will allow them to design
new generation chips in a matter of months
instead of years. Eggebrecht really seems to
'iave a handle 00 what both gamers
and professionals want out of the Amiga,
and future models should be
impressive.

:

New Horizon* introduced Pro Write 3.3, which displays
256- colour graphics under AC A on the A40O0, adds
support for Soft Log ik's HotLinks standard, and sports

50MHz 6888 T or 68882 maths co-processor - at extra
cost, of course. Still, you can add the Derringer with
2Mb of RAM to your A500 for just over $300 and gel

INGVAtronics showed CanOo 2.0. which is now
geared as a professional authoring system with tons of

C ommunications is a con-
fusing place for the new-
comer, It seems to have
more Jargon attached than any
other area of Lhe Amiga except
programming, yet when it comes
down to it r tl really isn’t thal
complicated.

To access the online woHd you
need several Items. First of all, a
computer - in this case the Amiga,
Secondly you need some terminal
software,, the best of which is
described below, Thirdly you need
a modem, the types of which we
won t go into now - they need an
article fn themselves.

Neat you need somewhere to
tall. This can be anything from a
local bulletin board system (BBS)
to a full blown commercial offer-
ing like CIX or CompuServe. Many
BBSs are members of the fidonet
system which allows messages
and fifes to be passed all round
the world,, via a local board, for
the cost of a local call.

Phone bills

Commercial boards also cost
you the price of a call, but
depending where they are situ-
ated may mean Fong distance
phone bills, and in addition will
norm ally incur anything up to £10
per hour on top simply for dialling
in.

On these pages you'll find four
boards which should be at a
medium tall rate for most readers,
together with a list of more scat-
tered boards, at least one of
which should be fairly local to
you.

The four featured boards are
fairly typical of the middle-of-the-
road range in the facilities they
offer, and all are Free to casual
callers.

Amateur

One thing to remember when
calling bulletin boards Is that they
are run on an amateur basis.

The sysops (system operators)
pay from their own pockets to
update their equipment, meet
phone bills and so on, so many of
them ask for a contribution from
regular users.

This is usually as little as £10
per year, whkh isn't a lot for you
to pay out for the time, trouble
and expenses incurred by the per-
son providing a service to you.

It's rather like shareware - if
you fEnd the service useful, pay up
far the sake of ycwr conscience If
nothfng else.

Terminal

software

Ncomm

Probably the most popular software avail-
able, Ncomm finally went shareware in v2.0
last year. Don't be put off by the 2,0 tag if
you are a WB1.3 user though - it still works.

Ncomm 's popularity is probably as much
due to its ability to handle scripts as any-
thing else. These allow short test programs
to be written to hop on and off bulletin
boards without having to do anything other
than type "execute abc".

Version 2.0 suffers in this respect as it has
shareware plea requesters popping up now
and again while in operation, for this rea-
son alone, many users have refused to
upgrade to the latest version.

Jrcomm

there are two problems with Jrcomm.
The first: is the lack of a scrip! language, and
the second that it is really long in the tooth
now.

Having said lhat r there are times when
it's worth having in you red lection, both lor
emergencies and for the odds, and sods of
jobs that Ncomm and Term might not be
able to handle.

For instance, when a friend was trying to
show me round CompuServe sume months
ago, Ncomm simply couldn't handle the
connection, and Jrcomm was press-ganged
out ot retirement to save the day.

However, on the whole I would not use it
lor everyday use. It's workable, but the
other options are now far better and easier
to use.

Term 2.2b

Usable with WB2 only, Term has much
to offer in terms of flexibility over Ncomm
iind (rcomm. Fn return, it is much more
complex to set up. The Phone Book setup

is where the power of this terminal pro-
gram lies, as it is here that each individual
BBS number can have a tailor-made set of
options set.

Instead erf scrip! s f Term allows the use
of Atox interfacing, as well as a variety
ot time and energy saving options.

For instance, one option allows CLI
commands to be entered when running
ihe program (very handy if you suddenly
realise you need to format a disk in an
emergency).

The documentation isn't the greatest
in the world, but does Lei I you what you
need to knoxv initially. After that it's a
matter of asking around on the networks
Lo discover your optimum settings.

Best BBSs

ASPECTS

Manchester
Sysop: Dave Gorski

Modem no: 061-792 0262
Fidonet: 2:250/107

This has Lo be my favourite board, if for
no other reason than it’s the one I * point"
off.

Aspects has little in the way of frills and
fancies, but concentrates instead on giv-
ing the user a wide range of messaging
facilities, and oodles of files to choose
From.

Also supported are several offline read-
ers (OLRs) which allow users to collect all
the messages they want to read, down-
load them in a batch, reply offline, then
upload those replies.

The board has two telephone lines, one
for general users and another for those
who have sent the sysop a small donation.
This donation (at £10 per annum) allows
lull use of a Fast modem at the EJBi end.

NGiVsubscribers are limited to use ol
the subscriber's line at peak BT rate peri-
ods only r when the board isn't too busy.

Dave Gorski is also the moderator oF
the Amiga UK echo which means Fie has
to keep a dose eye on what is being said,
and ensure that messages remain on topic
In the echo.

RED ROSE

Preston

Sysop: Tony Walker

Modem no: 0772-652212
Fidonet: 2:252/309

Similar to Aspects in many ways, Red Rose
is also a supporter oF messages and Cites,
However fhere are some online games
available, one of which is Featured in these
pages,

This particular game is a little like a lot-
tery. It is presented In the n,s,e,w style of
the standard text adventure, but from a
brief took it seems fairly random rather
than logical.

One of the strengths of this board is
the file areas. Workbench 2 alone has hun-
dreds of files available, and Tony is always
on I he lookout for more.

A|| the file areas ! r ve seen have been
well laid out with informative notes
attached to the filenames,

Tony is also happy to support points
from his system, which is a big plus when
you get the bog and really can't afford to
read and reply Id acres of messages
online.

061 FOR
AMIGA

Manchester
Sysop: Andy Grifo

Modem no: 061-799 4922
Fidonet: 2:250/120

II you're into games r this is definitely a
board to look at. Although message areas
and tiles are available, online fun is the
principal attraction here.

Andy even runs a belling system which
allows users who aren't so hot at gaming
to wager download credits on the ouL»
come of games played between experts.
It's certainly an interesting way to
encourage users who might bo a little shy
to participate in the fun,

To prevent you spending hours erf time
on the board, which not only puts your
bills up„ but stops others getLing on the
meantime, the hdpfites for the various
games are available for download.

This way you can study the rules and
tactics carefully while offline. I've found
this a very friendly board, although a little
confusing to navigate at times.

BBS directory

The following list contains a selection of BBSs from all over the country who are
actively looking tor new callers. All operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

There are hundreds of others not listed, and these boards will probably all hold
lists of other boards in their areas. Simply dial in and ask I he sysop for advice to
lind the best board for your interests and phone bill.

Please note that, white these numbers are believed to be correct at the time ol
writing, bulletin boards do come and go, so if you are consistently getting no
answer, especially in the middle of the night, please try again another time.

You just might be frying to connect your modem lo a very annoyed voice on the
other end of the line.

Hull

Sysop: Jon Witty

Modem no: 0482-473871
Fidonet: 2:252/129

Metnet is enormous. With fen phone lines
running; simultaneously the board can
handle multi-user chat and online games
with ease.

One of the reasons for its popularity is
the fact that it is situated m Hull, Now
Hull, unlike the rest of Britain, has its own
private phone system. With this, for just

5p, users can have unlimited time on local
calls. Personally 1 feel this ought to be
stopped it just isn't fair to the rest of us*

However, (on has certainly taken
advantage of the possibilities, and offers
lots of online games as well as plenty ol
local and national message areas, In addi-
tion he regularly ams special events like
quizes and other competitions,

One nice touch on the board is ani-
mated displays.. For instance one of the
game menus turn down the left of the
screen, white on the right there is an
automated game of Space Invaders in
progress.

Worth a call even if you are outside the
local area, but be warned - the board is
vast and you'll need a few calls to explore
it properly,

A typical online game

These shots are from the game Medieval Swordplay as found on Red Rose.

Com ms jargon

ZMQDEM: This is a tom nnunfcat ions protocol which controls the method by
which Uli e j H transferred between your modem and the remote modem.

Currently this is the most commonly used, so if your host the BBS you call - offers
this option you would be as well to use it

Data Is sent In blocks and if an error is detected due lo a noisy line, or a bad block
length check, transmission of that block wilf halt and the block will be sent again,

I here is also usually an option to resume transfer. This is handy ff the line gets so
bad that no more data can be sent. Data you have already received Is held, and when
you redial on a 1 hopefully) better line, instead of downloading the whole file again,
Zmodem ensures that you resume from where you stopped.

Beware though if you download to RAM, as resetting your machine will lose the data
you have already received unless you save It to floppy or hard disk first*

FLOW CONTROL: Sometimes it is useful for the connection rale between your

p*

Amiga and modem to be different from that between your modem and the remote
modem, This is called flow control,

ft is intended to ensure your computer and modem don't lose bits of data between
them. The most common is controlled by the hardware and is called RTS/CT5 and
there is also a software controlled one called KON/XOFF.

These are set up using both the Amiga preferences and your terminal software set*
lings, and both modem and computet must agree on the settings used,

BAU D RATE: This refers to the numbers youTt see bandied about like 2.4Q0, 9 r 600
and so on. Basically if you connect two modems at 2,400, the maximum cps (characters
per second) which can be transmitted is 240.

Similarly a 9,bOQ connection will give a maximum of 960 cps. This is only the maxi-
mum though, and if your telephone connection suffers from crackles and hisses the
transmission rate may drop tremendously,

Another point to remember Is that if your modem is faster than the one at the
other end;, you will on^ be able to receive data at the rate the other end can transmit
it

MNP: diis stands for Microcom Networking Protocol, If that leaves you cold, don"!
worry. The various MNP standards are methods of noise suppression and data
compression.

For instance, if you have a noisy line, data may be lost during transmission. Using
error correction, the effect of the noise is suppressed. Data is transmitted in blocks,
with a checksum included. If the received checksum and data block don't match the
data will be re sent until they do.

Data compression on the other hand attempts lo squash the data being transmitted
in order to shorten transmission time. This works well with files which haven't been
compressed already, but the result is virtually unnotkeable on pre-compressed files,

FIDONET; Throughout the world there are bulletin board which collect messages
from their local users, then use the FFdonet system to pass those messages to their des-
tination at other BBSs. Every night - and sometimes at other limes too - each Fidonet
BBS receives a packet oF messages from the board behind EL In the chain, stores them
for its own users, adds on messages From its own users then waits for ihe BBS ahead of
it in the chain to call and collect the resulting package.

ECHOES; Message* From BBS users are placed in different ‘files", each called an
echo. Each echo deals with a particular subject so BBS users don't have to wade
through oceans of messages of no interest to them to find what they do want,

There are at least a dozen or so Amiga specific echoes which travel around either UK
only BBSs or all round the world. You can compare notes with BBS users in Canada,
Australia, or anywhere else In the world, all for the price of a local call.

These echoes are public, in other words anyone anywhere can read them,, and usu-
ally write messages in them too. For private communication there >is another system
called Netmail

NETMAIL: If you want to send a message to a particular person, which you don't
want others to read, you need to use Netmail. Most BBS sysops will happily allow the
transmission of Netmail, although some ask for a fee to rid so, and some won't handle
it at all,

Use Netmail when what you have to say is either confidential, or simply of little or
no interest to other users of the echo. It is extremely annoying to spend time online
reading an exchange between two people who are chatting about which of their local
pubs to meet up in ne.nl week.

i Software's Cybernetix

begin wi!h r the player
is equipped with a fairly wimpy space-
ship firing only a single pulse laser from
its nasal area, and with this rather unas-
suming piece of killing kit the objective
Is to dear a level of enemy ships and
asteroids. But why kill (hose beautiful
asteroids? Have you seen them?

The graphics In this game are
superb, Neat, fast moving sprites and
truly respect engendering asteroids
which it Seems almost a crime to blast
into nothingness float around in the
blackness of space making Cybernetix
the most visually appealing shareware
game to hit the AC offices in a long

time. Once the blasting does start,
though, the game really begins to
Impress, Fast Isn't a particularly suitable
adjective to apply in this situation.
Cybernetix is mean and menacing with a
rapid streak a mile wide.

Smooth movement, joystick control
most commercial releases can’t match.

Model4D

Author: Sean Turner

Mode 140 is ore of a very few shareware
modelling programs designed to otter
many of the features normally only associ-
ated with commercial packages.

As such, it represents an ideal way for
users to experiment with modelling Inex-
pensively, and could be the spark which
prompts some to go the whole hog and
buy Real 3D or Imagine.

It would be a naive user who expected
a shareware program such as this to match
up to the £300 big bays, but even a cynic
can’t fail to be surprised at the range ot
features Models D has to offer.

As well as the usual creation of objects
and primitives, ModeKD has a lathe func-
tion, extrusion, and even an animation
capability, though this is not fully imple-
mented in the shareware release,

being a complex package, and one into
which the author has invested a great deal

of time and mental sweat, ModeMD does
not come to you in its complete Form.

Some of the functions either haven r t
yet heen finalised - this is the program's
first version - or have been disabled to
encourage shareware donations, so in the
interests of future developments, l r d urge
all those impressed by the program to
register immediately.

-view screen

Modei4D r s main editing screen is a full-
size 3D representation of the objects
being created, bul a triwiew screen similar
to that used in Rea 1 3D and Imagine can
be switched on by clicking the appropri-
ate icon found in the tool box to the right
of the screen (see diagram).

At First, the only object visible is the
Fight source, represented by a star, but
others are merely a couple of dicks away,

Model4D uses a hierarchical object
structure similar to Redl3D's approach, so
start by clicking on the hierarchy icon to
bring up a table ol objects. This is blank to
begin with, so we'll follow the author's

own example project, which you'll find in
the on -disk user manual
Click on the Create button found at the
bottom of the hierarchy panel, then on

a**# screens full of exploding matter
- jut ihe least him of I he game
* rag pay ample testament to the
iiChoir % me of the Am^a's talents with

T >»? objective, as In all games based
■mAHide (xef?ocft/r? - Ed)„ is to kill as
my aliens as possible before your
totte demise. To aid the player in
!^ri Uhefe is one simple feature - the

: »rry asteroid in the game will break
m into three smaller pieces when
M i iKin, and many of the mini aster-
r etease blue power crystals when

11 collected, these tan boost the
r.tf i bonus scoreat the end of the
* but it“s a rash and short-lived
who collects them all.

Tb rs h because when an alien ship
"les up two or more crystals it
Ibm behind a power-up when uibse-
*a*ftfly destroyed by the player. In
: - ort when a complete attack wave

is destroyed,, a power up will be left
behind by the last ship to die.

Power ups include faster shots,
three-way fan fire, shields, and so on,
and are essential for a long and happy
alien murdering career. The wise player
will therefore avoid picking up too
many crystals and will always be alert
to the appearance of attack waves.

Without the various nut- job power-
ups, among the handiest of which has
to be three way fire, the appearance of
attack waves will signal nothing more
than the closing curtain on a final act
which would make Hamlet look like an
essay in pacifism.

Not the most Intimidating of charac-
ters in their own right, the aliens in
Cybernet ix can quickly swamp the player
by sheer force of numbers and a ten-
dency towards suicidal attacks which
even Hezbollah would be proud of.

The most fanatically involved of ihese
red-eyed, screaming, banzal-wailing
(that's enough ludicrous adjectives - Ed)

lunatics is the aptly named Assassin droid.

This little blighter appears in the sec-
tor, represented by a red dot on the
scanner, and hurtles toward the player
faster than an enraged neighbour in
whose garden one s cat has just defe-
cated. i ll leave you to figure out for

yourself how to deal with the Assassin,
but please watch out for the level in
which an entire wave of assassins
comes looming over the horizon, A
change of underwear can often be the
only noticeable result of this
encounter.

OK, let's create that teapot. Click on
3i confirm your choice of divisions,
fei _ 3r-. out a vertical axis by clicking
■ v if h the mouse button - once at
of the axis, then again at the

Mom,

mark out a C-shaped semicircle
m : -e side of the axis line, and double
- 1 on the last point.

: One teapot body. Notice that it
x. in the hierarchy list as !V object w J
►*- ; ick on Rename to give it a more

descriptive title, such as ,, bady ,!, .

To make the lid f repeat the above pro-
cess, shaping your lid just above the main
body. It's a good idea to allow the lid to
protrude mlo the body, as a bit ol overlap

will ensure a more organic wholeness for
our teapot.

Again, for the spout, use the lathe tool
this lime marking out an axis at the cor-
rect tilt for the spout of your average bev-

erage dispenser. The spout will tend to
look a little like a gun barrel, but in a pro-
gram which has no organic modelling,
this is to be expected. II you don't like it,
you can always spend £300 on one of the
commercial packages.

Our last feature, the handle, requires
ModeMD's other construction tool, the
lathe function, so select this tool now. A
requester will pop up asking for the size -
or depth - of the extrude,, and as our han-
dle will be fairly thin, a value of ter will do
lor now.

Click on OK, then mark out the handle
by clicking once for each point on its out-
line. Remember that unlike the Lathe tool,
Extrude works fine with closed shapes, so
mark out a broad C shape, and double
click as usual to finish.

Now that the teapot is finished, go to
the Preferences menu^, and choose
Viewmode/f lai to see the object in solid
form. Now dick on the palette edil icon
and mess about until you find a colour
which suits your taste in teapots.

To change the colour of the objects,

click on the name of the object in the
hierarchy list then on the colour of your
choke and the screen will be redrawn Lo
show the change. Do this lor every part of
the teapot, then prepare to render.

To make the most of our rendered
scene, go to the Project menu and the
Screen item. Two sub-items are available.
Interlace and overscan, both of which
apply only to the screen cm which the ren-
der takes place. Turn both on by clicking
on them, then select render and sit back,

On slower machines, the process can
take quite a while, but on larger machines
a minute or so should see the teapot in
glanous HAM.

As ModeMD is written in compiled
Basic, its maths routines could be speeded
up somewhat, but then if you register as a
shareware user, you will receive all Future
updates direct Irom the author, so what
are you waiting lor?

full instructions on the program's
many other features can be found in the
on-disk user manual. Have a ball (or
should I say a Gourad-shaded sphere?).

Shareware
needs you!

Please remember that many of the pro-
gram distributed on Lhe Amigo
Computing CoverDisk are shareware
releases. This means that the authors
have kindly allowed you, the reader, to
sample the program before paying for
it.

If you decide to keep a program and
intend to use it regularly, you should
register as a shareware user with the
author. Full details on how to register
can be found, where appropriate, in the
on-disk documentation.

Shareware author if they don't
receive enough registrations, will even-
tually stop releasing programs to the
public, which would dry up an indis-
pen stole supply of superb software.
Keep the faith, and keep sending those
fivers!

ImageLab

Author: Gary Mi 1 1 lo rn

ImageLab is a shareware program
designed to enable users to transform
their IFF images using a wide range of
image man i pul at ion and processing fea-
tures. The results, though not perhaps of
ADPro standards, can be impressive.

The program works either overlaid on
the Workbench screen or in a full screen of
its own r and all operations are earned out
from either the drop-down menus or
through keyboard short-cuts.

This can be a little confusing at first,
because the default is a half screen with
menus available from either the ImageLab
window Of the image screen, but you get
used to it.

Using ImageLab, it is possible to carry
out the usual cut and paste graphics edit-
ing processes found in most paint pack-
ages, but there are many other functions,
some of which can produce exotic results.

Flip, invert, and rescale are present as
usual but the ability to pixel ise, convert to
greyscale, sharpen, and smooth an image
will be new to most, and the more way
out functions such as Fast Fourier
Transformations and the various filters will
be a complete mystery.

Luckily, the author's excellent on-disk
documentation contains a complete run-
down of all the program's functions.
Using this, and a suitable IFF image (there
wasn't space on the disk to supply nne r
Km afraid) the experimenLative user can
employ ImageLab either as a workhorse
image processor or as an excellent educa^
tional tool lo demonstrate the various
image techniques which are available,
how they work, and their effects.

Canon Utils

The Canon B|10 bubblefet printer has over
the past year become one ol the most
popular printers in the Amiga scene, and
the AC offices have received an increasing
number of enquiries about printer drivers
and using the Canon to the best of its
abilities.

For all you bubblejette^ out there, we
decided it was high time to distribute a
Canon printer driver on the CoverDisk,
thus saving you the hassle or finding one,
and us the hassle of answering ail those
enquiries! lhe Utils package is supplied
with a Canon BJ10 printer driver* an
installer program for those who aren't sure
where the printer driver should go, and
two Workbench 2 -only preferences pro-
grams used to control the printer from

Workbench disk and place the Cover Os-
in DFEh

Now open the various windows ur*.
the Canon Utils drawer is visible and t :
on the Install icon. Single floppy users .-.i
have a bit of disk swapping to q
through, but otherwise the printer & ive
will work fine,

if any problems crap up during mXd
Idtion, reboot with your Workbench dsi*
open a Shell window and type (one line

Workbench.

■Even without these programs, the
printer driver will work fine, but all you
lucky Workbench 2.xx users will have a
few extra options.

To begin, make sure that your B|10 Is
connected and that the DIF switch settings
are as specified in the
on -disk d a cu menta-
tion, then bout from
your normal

Workbench disk.

Make sure there's
at least 20k Iree space
for the printer driver,
then insert the
CoverDisk in a free
floppy drive r If you
only have one floppy
drive, ejecL the

The driver supplied by Wolf Faust offers
several major enhancements to anyone

CanonPrefs enables the setting of tab

tweaking For greyscale conversion,, and
that all important top margin, removing
that annoying tendency ol some printer
drivers to refuse To print on a full page,

Fontshop will makE the use of custom

Users can select a font, decide whether

Turbo Amiga Map Editor is a shareware

Unlike some shareware releases in this
category, iL is not crippled by having its
save function disabled, but will quit out
after 30 minutes or so of use.

The dedicated avoider of shareware
duties Will get round thus by constantly
saving out a file, then running the pro-
gram again, but for all those program-
mers Serious about producing their own
platform games, the £50 asking fee lor
the unrestricted version of this excellent
map editor is surely a small price to pay.
Start by loading the program, Then
push the mouse pointer right to the top
ol the screen and hold down the right
mouse button To reveal thE menus.

TAME's menus will not appear unless The
pointer is a! the top ol the screen, so bear

This in mind.

From the Project menu, choose Auto
Load files, then go into the TAME mapi
directory and click on the file called
WorldOO.map. Your screen should now be
filled with a map on which to practice the
program's features.

different locations is accomplished with
the mouse buttons. |ust click with the

>ank5 to the AC team tor produc-
g such an excellent mag. I have just a
‘e^'i questions, which I hope you will
answer*

• H the Amiga used in any part oF the
J * iking of Amiga Computing?

# .Vhy don't the big PC software compa-
■ rs tike Microsoft, Borland, Aldus,, and

■tiers support the Amiga, even i i they
,i_;t port their programs from the IBM to
- e Amiga? The Amiga is more than capa-
ste ol handling them.

* is it true that Commodore will stop
reducing the A2Q0O7

A Jam, tfuwort

I'nigas are used in almost every aspect of
rrf Amiga Computing production pru-
:?ss. Alt software and hardware Is obvi-
auifp tailed on Amigos, at! copy is written
«n g Amigos and papular wordproces-
. ;rs used i?y thousands of our readers,

and all screen grabs are token slroMjhl
from Amiga monitors.

On the down side, it is not possible to
toy out the magazine on Amigas , even
using the latest Amigo DTP packages. The
Europress group is a /urge and flexible
organisation producing a vonfo ty of mag ■
azines, most of whkh are not Amiga
titles, and os a result it would be wasteful
of resources to train specific art editors in
the use of specific machines.

As for your second question, forge PC*
based software houses tend not to part
software over to the Amiga because the
Amigo market fs too Jimotf to justify the
investment

This doesn't just affect Amiga owners,
however. Quark Xpress Is only now
appearing in its PC version, despite bav-
ing been the undisputed king of the Mac
DTP packages for some yean.

Commodore have already begun to
scale down A2QQQ production r and as far
oi Britain Is concerned at least , they have

stopped altogether . The A2QQ0 wtti not
suffer as much as the AS GO from the
advent of new machines, though, as the
new Amigos will ohnosf certainly support
the Zarro expambn stot standard.

With continued support from
Commodore for Zorro as the industry
standard expansion slot, manufacturers
are sure to continue refooifog products for

theAlSQOmOO.

Darren Morris, Bradford

A600 hater

Being a devoted reader of Amiga
Computing for three months now, I
among many other readers eagerly
awaited details of the ""Fabulous" A6Q0. I
couldn't believe what I read when it
finally arrived., The new Amiga would

have been an Amiga owner tor five years now, and until recently
my trusty A5Q0 1 .2 has never given me a single problem, I always
expected that something oi otFier would go wrong with my com-
outer sooner or later, despite the care and attention I have
given it.

Basically, my internal dove has packed in. I know it's repairable,
out it J s the way in which it died which is most annoying.

\ recently purchased a game, and on loading I noticed that my
drive was making a tonskferable amount ot clicking, whirring, and
grinding. From my experience, I understand that all this is due to
■he amount oF copy protection placed on disks these days, forcing
■he drive head to read unusual parts of the disk.

I he software did in fact work, but afterwards none of my
Amiga DOS disks would work. Even Workbench reported
read/write enron.

I have tried re^aligriing the drive and cleaning ii, but through
using a disk sector editor l have deduced that DFfr still refuses to
read tracks 78 and 79, which renders most software useless. I can
only assume that the ridiculous amount of copy protection on the
game disk has destroyed my drive..

Fair enough, five years is a long time Foe a drive to linger on,
out surely copy protection doesn't have to be so intense. Pirates
will always find a way around on-disk protection, so why can't

software companies think of Lhe
health of the disk drive as well?

Bj Barkley, Huddersfield

Not q single software house has come clean and admitted that
heavy on-disk protection cun be detrimental to l he health of
Amiga floppies , despite the fact fbtfl many users have for some
time suspected this as a cause of the inordinately high occurrence
of internal drive fatalities within the first year or jo of an Amfoas
life

Your own interna) drive was overdue for replacement when the
game in question was used, so if coufo be a case of lhe fast straw
and the camel's hack, but there is mounting evidence to suggest
that on ’disk protection is kiifing drives fike a plague in the height
of summer.

What can you do about if? Not a lot, i'm afraid . IfotiJ £bf soft-
ware industry, perhaps as represented by EtS-P.A, decides to oart>
me this issue, software houses will continue to be driven by
economical considerations and will continue to release gomes
designed to be as difficult to copy as possible.

If this means they damage disk drives, the punter wifi ahvays
blame the game's manufacturer, but remember the pirates who
ofso He at the roof of the problem.

Alien concept

I would like to point out that the hit
about Alien 3 in Gamer issue 10 was
entitled '“Hudson! We are leaving?". After
watching Aliens again just to make sure,

I came to the conclusion that Hick's
actual words were "Drake! We are
leaving!".

I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure
after watching the film at least 1 7 times.

ffochord Horrhon, BortthOry

Your letter was passed an to Gamer edi-
tor, Dan Whitehead [ whose reaction was
"what can we do wftft ftiese people?*.

Additionally, the happy purchaser
would get a dubious smart card slot and
a funky designer keyboard without a
numeric keypad] Future upgrading was
to be made impossible through the use
of surface mounted chips, and existing
peripherals were rendered useless by the
omission of a DMA port.

In compensation for this, there are
internal hard doves without RAM expan-
sions that seem to soar in price as they
get larger. Come on Commodore! IF you
are bent on downgrading existing
machines, why don’t you downgrade
the price too?

Next I’ll be honest and tell you that
95 per cent of my software is pirated. In
my defence, I would like to say that soft-
ware sellers in Stavanger have a
monopoly, and prices are from £30 up.

Also, cracked games are out earlier
than originals over here, and often come
with cool loading intros and optional
trainer modes.

games released these days aren't worth
the money, but to satisfy my conscience

On a brighter note, your objections to
the A600 should soon be answered. If
only portly. Commodore have just con-
firmed the A600 price drop, and the
machine will now retail at £299 wi'Ehouf

"closed architecture" Amiga, As far as
Commodore is concerned, the A600 is

for the foreseeable future , this means
we're all pinning our hopes on the PC1W-
CfA smart cord slot. With its industry
standard architecture offering^ in elec-
tronic terms, virtually everyfftfng a DMA
port can do, it should stowty attract a
growing number of peripherals ,

A2Q0Q blues

rd like to paint out to the many A50Q
owners wha've expressed their disap-
pointment with the release of the A60Q
that they really have nothing to worry
about. At least, not In comparison with
owners of the AT 500/2000. There is a

huge A500 user base, and as you have
been quick to point out, third-party
developers will surely continue to sup-
port the machine for some time.

We A1 500/2000 owners form a
much smaller group, and it is by no
means certain that we will continue to
enjoy such lasting support.

Many A5Q0
peripherals have taken
ages to appear on the
A2OQ0, and there are currently no
plans to release the CD-ROM drive for
my machine. Peripherals are already
appearing on the A50Q and selling
cheaper than their A2O0Q equivalents,
despite having their own cases andi
PSUs.

With the arrival of the new 1 mid-
range Ami gas Imminent, we have very
little to look forward to. It is extremely
unlikely that the new chip set will be
usable on the A15O0, even though
Commodore could issue it as a slol in
expansion card.

The only consolation we have is that
the rumoured replacement will be in a
case so thin that it will only have room
for two Zorro slots.

Have you noticed, how many firms
which advertise in Amiga magazines
have started to advertise PCs alongside
their Amigas? Surely they wouldn't go
to such expense if there wasn’t a real
and significant demand from Amiga
owners going over to the PC in disgust
at the continued antics of Commodore?

Paul ffrowne, Bradford

You soy that there is a small user base
far the more serious Amigas, yet ibe
number of peripherals which can only be
used in A15QQ/2Q00 machines Increases
ail the ffrne^ and the development of
serious software mare suited to an aceel
crated A20Q0 continues apace.

This doesn't Indicate fa me the death
of the A 15W2QQ0, In addition t the new
mid-range machines are bound to be
priced beyond the pockets of tbe overage
A5O0 owner, which means that fhe rrum-
be r of new Amigas in tbe morfcei is
unlikely to outstrip the number of
At5Qfy2QQQs for quite some time,

For these reasons, I d be very surprised
if the existing Amiga workhorse didn 't
continue to enjoy a healthy existence for
at feas t a few pears.

As for certain companies becoming so
desperate for sales that they advertise
PCs to an Amiga audience , I've not seen
one of the ads fn question,, but wouldn ‘ t
be surprised' if fbe habit spreads.

PC price euJs maise what is feu by a
computing dinosaur with go- faster bits
added seem an attractive proposition.,
but how many Amigo owners faced wffb
enormously expensive software, ivtcom-
patibUity problems, , and Ehe basic primi-
tives of the PC would go over after a
long hard think? Not many.

Speedy service

I have been an Amiga user for a
number of years now, mainly in the
wordprocessmg department. After
buying the memory hungry
Word worth wordpracessor, l
decided to expand my computer's
memory lo 2Mb with the Power
Computing tMb trapdoor card with
the connector for existing
expansions.

Scraping together the cash, I sent
off a cheque, and 36 hours later my
board arrived. Great! Some memory
at last, 1 think. However, things did
not gt> to plan, as the connector to
my 5 T 2k board didn't quite fit, and
when it did it wouldn't recognise my
battery backed-up clock.

A call to Power Computing s teth
oka! helpline advised me to check
my original board, and if ah else
failed to ring back. On ringing back, I
was advised to return the 1Mb card
for a replacement This has arrived
and is working perfectly in just over
one week from my original order
being posted.

Can I just say well done and thank
you to Power Computing? Why can’t
all other companies provide the
same speedy service?

fon Wiles, Washington

A for of the more established Amiga
dealers and peripheral companies pro-
vide excellent service just as Power
Computing do r The problem with letters
pages is that we so seldom receive let-
ters from satisfied customers.

Morf of the letters we receive ton-
cxmlng after-sales service ore of the dis-
gruntled variety f and to print many ol
them would risk a serious imbalance in
the way mail order in general, and
some companies in particular, are
viewed.

To rectify fins situation* the Amiga
Market section this month contains a
maft order reader survey, I strongly
urge anyone who has had dealings
with one of our mail order advertisers.,
whether good bad or Indifferent* to
complete the survey and return it.

If, and only if, enough readers reply,
full survey results will be printed in the
Market. This should hopefully pinpoint
the good companies and those whose
customers are dis satisfied r and if the
exercise is successful ft will be repeated
at regular intervals.

This is your chance to provide some
powerful feedback to tbe mail order
people, so if you don't take k you really
have only yourself to blame when bad
service goes unpunished and good ser-
vice unrewarded.

It's possible to print out your carefully

blotchy images of their former glorious selves.
Ben Pointer looks at two revolutionary

Graphics

P ainting prog rams are tine lor cre-
ating graphics lor garner presen-
tations,. slide Shows and anything
else that is going to be displayed on the
screen, but if your ultimate aim is to print a
graphic then you'll probably already knew
that these so-called bitmapped graphics
tend to look quite bad on paper because
ot the low resolution at which they are cre-
ated.

Sometimes reducing the scale can
enhance the printed appearance of a
bitmapped graphic, but reducing the
scale, o! course, reduces the size.

A better way to create graphics that are
to be printed - for inclusion In a desktop
published document, lor example, or per-
haps a technical drawing - is to use a
structured drawing package. Structured, or

can be achieved with structured drawings
on the caver of Issue 51 (August) of Amigo
Gwipcrting. That graphic of the scales is a
structured drawing.

If you turn to page 22/23 ol that issue
jrcx/ll see the graphic again, but this time
much reduced. Notice that in both pic-
tures ail the curves remain smooth. The
yraphic is used yet again, in silhouette
form, in the “Our Choice 1 ’ panels.

The same graphic, three different stzes,
ail with smooth curves. Vo u can't do that
with bitmapped graphics.

Nondescript

One way of creating structured draw-
ings is a little like modelling day, where
you start with a nondescript lump and
mould it into a recognisable object by
kneading and shaving it, adding more day
here and there where required.

You can do a similar thing with any
structured shape. A rectangle, for example,
does not need to remain a rectangle -
once you have created it you can puli it
about and work on it until it looks like
something else.

All Control points at four comers can
be moved to change its shape, end if you
decide you want a kink in one side then a
control point can be added between two
others, which can then itself be moved
around.

Curved lines are defined by lour conLrol
paints - two anchor points at either end
of the curve, and two in-between which
attract the line between the anchors like
magnets, end so pull it into a curve.
Again, these control points can a'-l
be moved in order ta mould the

The developers -ol Pro Vector are also v
inventors af the IFF-DR2D Structun
drawing standard. As HEM is to Am :
bitmapped graphics and 85 VX is to Am*
sound samples, so DR2D is to Amiga si
lured drawings. Drawings created

Drawings are created in ProVector

ellipse, rectangle, polygon and srm

freehand.

Line weight and colour are no nr

Many people

vector, drawings have an advantage over
bitmapped graphics in that the lines and
shapes that comprise the graphic are held
in memory as a series of mathematical
equations.

This means that mathematical opera-
tions can be performed upon them to
achieve ail sorts af spe-
cial effects, including
making them bigger and

Selection tool and dragging a box around
them, For manipulation purposes, while
this group is selected it is treated as a sin-
gle object.

Clicking on Lbe Group tool would turn
the individual objects in the group into
one abject. Far example you could draw a
face bit by bat, where the head, eyes, and
so on are all individual objects, and once it
is finished you could group everything
together so that the lace becomes a single
object.

The objects that comprise the face can-
not then be edited - any changes made,
like line weights or fill colours, would oper-
ate on the whole group. Croups can be
ungrouped at any time should you need to
make further changed to individual
objects,

A Magnify tool will zoom in to an area
as small as 6/1 OOOths of an inch for
detailed work, and you can move around

fied with either the win-
dow sliders or the cursor
keys.

Talking of keys,,
now might be a good
time to mention that
PraVector has an enor-
mous number of sin-
gle-key short-cuts that
operate in much the
same way as those in
Deluxe Paint.

selected objectfs) can be changed by
typing the number and then pressing
w.

Any experienced Delude Paint
user will tell you that
these single-key ^
short-cuts can ^
greatly accelerate
the rate at which you
work.

The Clone tooJ ^

duplicates the currently
selected object or group,
but there fs no facility provided
to step-and-repeat, thus allowing you
to duplicate a single object many times
in one swoop.

The Scale tool is a little betLer
endowed, having a number of controls
that allow for more accurate seating than
doing it by eye. The Rotate tool has similar
controls, letting you specify about which
point the object should be rotated, and
avowing the object to be cloned at the
same time.

If two objects overlap,
then o m has to be
"behind"' the other. If sev-
eral objects overlap, then
there has to be a "depth"

□rder r The natural order is
objects drawn later are
placed "on top or
objects drawn earlier, but
this can be adjusted by
means of the Front and
Back tools, and also the
Layers requester.

Creating layers In
Pro Vector is like placing
an invisible sheet between
groups of ob|ects. Objects
drawn on top of this
sheet may obscure part of the drawing
underneath, but because the sheet is on
top of them the objects underneath cannot
be altered or edited.

Any layer can be locked,
hidden or made the cur-
rent layer at any time, and
any layer can be moved up
one level, down one level,
to the front or to the back.

One feature we've not
talked about yet is the Text
took This supports two
types of font, ^stroke*' and
"outline"*

Stroke fonts are simple,

unfilled characters composed of
single-weight straight and curved lines; as
such they are ideal for plotter output, jnd
si* of these are provided - Simple, Serif,
5ans, Cyrillic, Greek and English.

Two outl ine fonts are provided - Roman
and Sans - and these are more like the
Compugraph'c or Adobe fonts you would
use for desktop publishing. Bui they are in
Projector's own format; the program can-
not use Compugraphic fonts, although an
additional PSimport module can be
bought which can convert Adobe Type 1
fonts to the format Projector uses.

Baseline

Text can be filled, outlined, scaled and
rotated at will, plus there is the facility to
force the baseline □! the text to follow the
curves of a selected object.

Any text editing is done in a small
one-line string gadget rather than directly
onto the screen, so multi pie lines of text
can only be achieved by typing and posi-
tioning each line one at a time.

There is no text import facility, but all
tent remains editable even after it has been
placed on the page. Text can be turned
into objects if you want, allowing you to
alter the shapes of individual characters.

Projector supports ARexx, and a few
macros are supplied that add to the pro-
gram's power by doing more complicated
jobs automatically by using several built-in
tools.

The ARexx macros can be placed in a

special User pull-down menu, and already
in there you'll find some functions that do
jobs as simple as centring an object to as
complex as performing a gradient fill

Often parameters will be needed to per-
form a function - for instance, the gradient
fill needs to know the start and end colours
- and these are elicited from you by means
of a simple requester.

You don't get any help with these
macros - although the manual describes
ail of Projector's ARe** commands fully,
there is no documentation as to how these
ready- fo-use macros work, so you have to
find out by trial and error.

No doubt some powerful features
indeed could be added to Projector by
means of Aftexx macros - but to be able to
write them you have to know Projector
intimately, and how to program in ARexx
of course.

Projector can output the page - or any
part of the page - to any Preferences
printer, to HPGL plotters, as an IFFMUBM
file (with dithered colours if required), and
as PostScript or Encapsulated PostScript to
SER:, PAP: or disk, with an option to rotate
by 90 degrees.

Importing

Probably Pro jector's best feature comes
with the additional PSImport module,
which allows you to import and fully edit
Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, which is
In effect the industry standard for desktop
publishing clip art, plus it gives you the
ability to convert Adobe 'Type 1 fonts to

Projector's font format. PSlmport has a
few limitations because the DR2D standard
has no! yet caught up with the EPS stan-
dard, the most important of them being
that PostScript clipping paths are not sup-
ported, which means that patterned tills in
EPS files may spill out into the main draw-
ing unless you specify No Patterns when
importing, Stylus is improving DR2D to
support clipping paths.

The other major drawback is with
the font convenion, which doesn't
support hinting or kerning,
although this can be worked
around by kerning by hand and
by using the extra fast Floating
Point version of Projector for
printing graphics that include*
text in small point sizes.

As well as this FFP version,
an optimised 680x0 version is
provided (Of Amiga 3000
users or anyone who owns
an accelerator board.

Professional

Draw

Professional Draw loads and saves files in
three formats. The whole document, which
may contain more than one page with
many objects on them, is saved in folio for-
mal; each page, which may contain many
objects, can be saved in page format.

And page* may be imported into docu-
ments; groups of objects that form individ-
ual drawing* may be saved as clips, and
groups of related clips may be saved
together in one file which can be imparted
into Professional Draw (of course)*
Professional Page, PageSetter II and
PageStream (but not Projector), Although
Professional Draw is a standalone struc-

tured drawing package, it can also be co-vj
side red an extension to the Profession!
Page desktop publisher.

The look and feel of both prograrr
and the way in which they are operated,
very similar - exactly the same in ma ;
cases - and there is a hotlink between
of the two packages that allows clij
imported into Professional Page to be
directly to Professional Draw for editir:
and then back again to professional Page
Bath programs need to he running
this to work, so at least 3Mb of meroor\
required, although 5Mb or 6Mb would
more comfortable. White it's not a feat
every home user will be able to la-
advantage of, power users will find it
a lot of time taffing about with definii

ProVector, Professional Draw has l lie lull
complement ot basic drawing and manip-
ulation tools, plus a lew that Projector

lacks.

Probably the most fascinating o! these
extras is the Distortion tool, which lets you
pull the hell out of any object or group.
ProVector will allow you to shear (slant)
objects. Professional Draw can do this too,
and It can also distort the perspective,
making it dead easy to draw something
flat and then distort it to give the drawing
some depth.

The results aren’t always what you
might expect, but after a while you get a
feel for the technique and can pretty much
guess how much to distort by in order to
create the effect you want. Colours in

Professional Draw are specified as RGB val-
ues of 0 to IS each, allowing for the stan-
dard Amiga 4,096 colours in total, or you
tan use YMCK (yellow, magenta, cyan,
black) percentages. This gives a theoretical
maximum palette of 100 million, although
only (only!) up to 6S,000 colours can be
defined and present in the requester at one

time.

Pantones

A database of more than 700 predefined
"Pan tone" colours is supplied. Again, like
ProVector, Professional Draw uses dithered
colours to simulate a large number of
colours on-screen - about 1,000.

Tints of colours can be quickly defined in
Professional PfW by entering 3 percentage
after the name of a predefined colour -
"Green 50% ff for example. The pro-
gram does the nest, The colour
Utilities are one ol
Professional Draw's
strangest suits.

Text is another
strong suit. Compu-
graphic loots are sup-
ported directly,, and a
utility is provided which
convert Adobe Type
1 fonts lo Compugraphk.
Tracking and kerning options are
provided, and because text is
typed directly on to the page
you may also specify a
line spacing HgurE.
Text can
be made bold
in the horizon-
tal and/or verti-
cal directions,
and its aspect

ratio can be altered in
order to create wider or
narrower characters.. Cm
top of this, facilities are
provided via an Aftexx
macro to import a text file
directly into an area on a
page.

Gold Disk has chris-
tened these ARexx macros
J, genies''. It's very difficult
to explain to you how
impressive these genies are
without sounding like a
Gold Disk salesman.

Magnificent would be an
understatement

More than M are provided, all of them
useful and described lully in the manual,
Should you wish to modify one or create
your own, Professional Draw has a built-in
simple text editor lor just this purpose.

Genies

But this is the stuff programming is
made of, and, like with ProVector, you
have to be prepared to learn about AEtexx
and Prolessianal Draw if you want conjure
up your own gedies.

Two major additions lo ihis Idlest ver-
sj 0n ol Prolessional Draw are linear and
radial gradient fills. Any start and end
colour can be specified, plus the number
of steps there should be between l he two,
up to 2000, Linear fills can he set Id any
angle, the centre of radial fills can be
specified.

Output can be sent to HPGl plotter,
any Preferences printer, although imported
EPS graphics will only be printed lo
PostScript devices - and PostScript output
facilities are truly superb, including the
ability to create three-colour or
four-colour separations or output direct to
a colour PostScript device.

Should the need arise, ILBM graphics
can be used in your work, and sent to the
printer, including 24-bit ILBM; ProVector
will let you import ILBM graphics, but
won't let you print them, the thinking
being that all you’ll really be wanting to do
is load a piece of bitmapped clip art and
use the structured drawing tools to trace
over the top of It. Talking of tracing.

PrefeuU brow Atn if* pnHftfM lll,r
pattern pirn, a tofUity fa .rear* your mva

Professional Draw comes with a separa:-
Trace program that automates this bitma:
tracing process. It screws up sometimes, it
can take what seems like for ever, and it
can produce massive and highly tompie ;
structured drawings that take an age lo
import and render.., but it's there if you
need it.

Unlike the ProVector manual, which ;
certainly comprehensive but, probably as t
consequence, a bit confusing for begin-j
nets, the Professional Draw manual is writ-
ten for the most part in simple English anc

Includes a tutorial.

When writing about two programs than
are clear rivals, it's impossible after using
them for a while not to form an opinion as
to which you think is the best,

The only real advantages ProVector ha;
over Professional Draw are m fill patterns
which Professional Draw completely lacks
and the ability to import and ediL tPS fib
with the additional PSImport module. In
almost every other departmer.;
professional Draw seems to be
at least one step ahead.

A &rd processing, sorting out the Family

■ j die? T his is the question! many a mar-
m r-q bod must haw posed a few years
•jc f the explosion of "office" packages
fc i. much to go by, and among the titles
icawned by the greal niche hunt of 1 9&9
ms uo!d Disk Office.

Rough and ready

ti tuning a very basic word processor,
i npif database, a spreadsheet, a graph
% ing utility, and the rough and ready
:eSetter page layout tool, Gold Disk
was hardly the most sophisticated
Sickage in the world, but it was all there.

-DG’s mixture and range ol features
j- the standard for such packages, and it
i i standard which, with the release of
w n Office and GD02, has only recently
seen surpassed, Probably the most dam-

aging drawback of the original GDO was
that: the individual elements were weak.
Luckily, the degree of integration between
them helped the whole to outstrip consid-
erably the sum of the parts, but this often
failed to temper the disappointing impres-
sion of, say, the so-called wordprocessor.

With the second release, Gold Disk
have taken note ol the glaring weaknesses
in the original and reworked most of the
component parts to the extent that they

no longer resemble their ancestors.
Page, Graph and Calc have been
translormedj and File has been given
a facelift, but poor old Write still looks
like a pensioner at an all-night rave -
sad and out of place.

Appealing

For home users and small businesses
with uodemand*ng requirements, GDQ2
is a full order of magnitude mare appeal-

E

ing than its predecessor. However, it still
runs the danger encountered by any inte-
grated package in that there may be little
or no market for it. Instant appeal gener-
ated by the seemingly good value offered

Pies and scatters

Graphs and charts are an inevitable part of ail decent
stillness presentations these days, and no self -respect-
ing business person would be without the odd pie
:hart or sales graph when attempting to make an
impression on a new client or the boss.

Office Graph is a fairly simple program, but capable
-* providing the goods, especially when used In tun-
unction with Page and a PostScript laser printer.

All graphs and charts can he saved in ProDraw dip
'arm at for Import to Page, and the combination of
structured art and a decent printer makes making an
'repression a certainty. Ten different charts and graphs

are on offer, including scatter graphs, pie charts, and
3D variations to ensure that documents won't look
tired or too similar.

Each new chart is user tweak able through control of
colours, patterns, and fonts used for the various head-
ings and sub-headings.

In addition, pie charts can be exploded, legends can
be enabled or disabled, footers can be added, and
almost every other main feature, Including axes and
grids, can be toggled on or off. The program also
accepts data ranges saved directly from Calc.

Flexible and useful with little fuss, Office Graph is a

solid program which, though incapable of standing cm
Its own as a single package, fits neatly Into GDD2 and
adds a little touch of its own to the whole.

Write and Spell

Office Write has been improved somewhat since its first appearance, but it
remain l an old fashioned and outdated ward processor which. If it didn't appear

(n an office bundle, woufd sink without trace.

As an element ol CD02, however, Write is paradoxically the most useful, as
Just about every other element will either hollink to it directly or can use its

A rather basic wordprotessor which struggles to avoid the damning label text
editor" thus becomes an essential and integral part ol the CDQ2 package.

Editing options include the usual cut and paste, find, replace, and word count,
with the addition of the little seen case convert and join/split lines.

Documents can be merged together and a spell check Is available when Office
Spell is running in the background, There is also a facility for automatic .ndex
generation, a surprisingly powerful feature given Write s basic formal-

>

by five packages in one will certainly sell
C0Q2 to some, but at around £90 it is
close so the tull cost of buying one high
quality package.

Users who need Just one facility might
be tempted to go for GD02 and get the
other four free, but those who make a
careful choice could well decide that the
individual element they aTe interested in
isn't strong enough to Justify the pur-

chase. This leaves the small business mar-
ket and the home user who needs at least
two or more of the applications offered by
GDG2.

For these Amiga owners the only pack-
age presently to compete in terms ol price
and features with the Gold Disk offering is
Mini Office Amiga, reviewed in a recent

issue of Computing*

Which one wins out in the consumer's
mind wilt be decided in some cases by the

toss of a coin and in others by the points

each package stresses.

CD02 has gone for a very Workbench
2.0* look and feel whereas Mini Office is
much mure colourful and visually ori-
ented, The former has PostScript support
through the Page layout utility, and the
latter has a much better wordprocessor.
Neither trounces the other in anything
approaching a comprehensive fashion,

So is GD02 worth the money? The
answer \s a qualified yes. A viable alterna-
tive course of action which I tor one
would be tempted to follow is the share-
ware/commertial combination.

At £75, a copy of Pro Write 3,2 (or
Wordworth with same careful shopping
around) is a sound word processor start,
easily augmented by one of the superb
shareware database and spreadsheet pro-
grams on the market.

With PostScript support, such wordpro-
cesSGTS negate the need far a simple page
layout tool unless the user has definite
DTP requirements.

Level terms

The quality of Llie better shareware pro.
ductivity package! is such that they com-
pete on neat level terms with the
individual GD02 elements, and with those
of its competitor, Mini 01 lice Amiga
Possibly the only ace left up the sleeve
of the bundle packages is then the inte-
gration facility, whereby data from a
spreadsheet can be led into the graphs
program and so on.

If an, integrated environment, whose
virtues should not be underestimated, is
appealing enough to a large number of
potential users, GD02 will win the day
with its high level of inter-program data
exchange and its direct hotl inks.

li not, the commercial and shareware
alternatives will surely form a well-trodden

Product information

Gold Disk Office 2 is a

product of Gold Disk Inc
Supplier: HI! Marketing
Phone: 0753

Price: TBA (expected to

be around £90)

Filing cabinet

The File database program supplied with CDG2 is one of ihr
weaker elements of the package as It offers little more than some
shareware programs.

It does, however, work well within the Integrated environment

and is a useful tool in any office.

There is a disappointing lack of direct mail merge generation
far use with Write, but apart from this and the lack of password
protection, File does the Job. Its most annoying feature is the
clumsy approach to searches.

These have to be accomplished through the use of filters

which, though flexible and an essentia! aid to database manage-
ment, are a little slow for the user who needs to find one phone
number or a company name from a list of hundreds. Prodatas
fast find option will search through an entire database until it
finds the data asked for, and its handiness in such situations can't
be matched by fillers.

Beyond these niggles. File has easy to use form and report ere-
ation. some advanced features such as the formula and calculate
across fields option, and its support lor ARex* - although not
DBase IV - makes it one of the most useful elements of CD02-

Serlous sums

To be honest, spreadsheets ir?
probably second only to assembN
language programming packages n
the boredom stakes.

Few Inventions of man hast
invoked anything to match the over
whelming waves of indifference
which emanate from the average
user when a spreadsheet rtl
menlioned-

However - he typed hopeful!)
let the budget sensitive person ^
small business struggler use i
spreadsheet for a month or so arc
the serawly writing at the back ol
spiral bound notepad will be
Ished forever.

Office Calc is based for its loo*
and feel on the Professional G
package, and though it shares fi
of the very powerful features to
found in its bigger brother, it is
meaty little performer in its
light.

Explanatory

There are over 100 calculate
functions for use in spreadsheei
Including Boolean and statlslii
functions (average, mean, and
on), and individual worksheets
be any size up to 32,000 cells by
32,000 rows. In addition,. ARexx a
supported and Office Write can be
summoned to add expiaoMort
notes to any cell In the sheet.

What this adds up to is a pe-
feetty adequate program for ai
household requirement, bom
ing out where all this month iff
money is going to go, to larger
areas in which money can be saved
Office Caic will aho stretch to
business duties, though not as
plly as the more expensive lb
alone packages,

Data can be saved in graph
mat for use In the Office Graph
ity, and Lotus 12 3 file! «n
imported or exported, so Calc
conversant enough with both
outside world and Its own ii
grated Office partners.

In total, the program would
up on its own as a low priced
merdal program, never mind an
men! wiltiin a bundle, though
could also be said for certain
ware spreadsheets.

S omeone had to do it eventually, I
suppose. We've had umpteen
AS 00 accelerator boards with their
■ -AM expansions, hard drives with
T- :.vn RAM expansions,, and A2Q0G-
m .; umbo cards with the lot r but we’ve
r ad an all-encompassing A5Q0
to match.

i r ouTe an industry pundit, the news
*» C , ? have released the first hard drive,
*=i - Mtor, and RAM expansion package
Ifc.t &o> for the A5O0 might seem a bit
It -eanng of Cadbury's latest chocolate
s mean, It's no big Surprise that the
|BC : ernes from GVP, is it?

■ "3ct r some might be fooled by the
Be shed, respective GVP badge and
Ht unit's visual similarity to existing
Series II drives into thinking that
™- - : 30 is nothing new or is not worth
jr g excited about. Then again, fools

are easily fooled, The A 5 50 is a logical,
sensible, realistic step forward in AS 00
peripherals development, but it is also one
of the most exciting products to pop out
of the Oven in the past year.

With a combination at powerful fea-
tures and a price point sent from heaven,
the unrt makes a very pressing case for the
accolade of best punter product ever.

Installation, which is a matter of plug-
ging in the drive's power pack and slat-

ting the A5 3D into the A50O/A3OG Plus
DMA slot. Lakes minutes, alter which the
humble low end use* suddenly has a
machine which literally bfows away an
AlQGQ and in some areas comes within an
appreciable distance of 68040 -based sys-
tems.

When first booted the hard drive, be it
the 32Mb or 120Mb configuration, goes
into its own Workbench installation proce-
dure in which it simply asks a question

about the version of Klckstart being used.

It then automatically installs either
Workbench 1,1 or 2.03 ready for auto-
boating without Hie user ever having to
use the Fastprep software. This is plug In
and go at its best

Again, the deceptively simple nature of
the sol t ware, the extreme ease -of- use,,
and the no-hassle setup might lure users
into a false feeling that nothing much has
happened other than the addition of a
hard drive.

Left hook

This feeling lasts as long as it takes to
open a drawer or run a program, at
which time the A33.0's speed hits home
like a Bruno left hack.

The 40MHz GHECO30 chip nestling at
the heart of the A3 30 is about 10 per
cent faster than the 25MHz: chip found

A minor drawback with

Going to 2Mb is easy, as a ^Mk^jS^SSj

cannot configure to SMb, the pur-
chase of a 4Mb SIMM will render the
existing RAM obsolete.

A 4Mb SIMM icons Silica costs £179, f* ,'

The upshot, of course, is that the 4Mb RAM configu-

pae eripherals

in the A3GQ0, and many times taster than
a standard Amiga.

Productivity package^ Workbench
itetf „ and even some games such as flight
si ms and other 3D vector types, perform
much smoother and faster than most
owners of standard Amigas would credit.

Menus and requesters slide along like a
greasy chip in a lard butty word proces-
sors and other mundane office packages
motor away like (apanese workaholics
and high-end graphics applications sud-
denly become a possibility.

In short, the kittenish A50G into which
one of these babies is slutted changes

instantly into a large-striped carnivore.

It'i not beyond the bounds of possibil-
ity that some people will feel the effects of
culture shock after hall an hour with the
ASM, as not only will they experience the
joys of using a hard drive lor the first time,
they will also have to deal with the alter
effects of warp speed.

Nauseous

This can best be described as a giddy,
near-nauseous, sensation brought about
by sudden acceleration and prolonged
activity at speeds to which the user is nor
accustomed, and is best remedied by a
quick stab at the turbo button, at which

Memory options

The RAM modules supplied with the
AS 30 are SIMMs (surface in-line memory
modules), comprising of eight memory
chips on a tiny circuit board.

The SIMMs are fitted into slots in the
A530 and are a much neater and easier
method of upgrading RAM ihan the old
fashioned method of bunging chip alter
chip into chip sockets. One SIMM con-
taining 1Mb RAM is fitted as standard.

The RAM itself is of the 12-bit 60ns
type, which means that each memory
byte can handle numbers up to 32 bits
wide, essential for use with the 32 -bit
68ECQ30 chip. 60ns simply relers lo the
speed of the chips.

The typical ASOO SI 2k RAM expan-
sion will be fitted with 120m chips lar
too slow for effective use of the 1 aster
chips. When ilow HAM is used with a fast

processor 1 , the CPU will often have to
wait for the contents ol RAM to catch tip
with what it is doing, leading to "wait
stated

Chips rated to at least 80ns are
required for the ideal state in which the
processor never needs to hang around, a
condition known as "lero wait states".

As the A530 has 60ns chips, any
memory Intensive operation will be
slightly faster than if the more widely
used 80ns chips were fitted.

The use of 60ns - and sometimes
40ns on 66.0405 - SIMMs means that
users are always best oh using otflcia'i
GVP RAM upgrades rather than shop
around lor cheaper - and slower - alter-
natives. Missing an 80ns 1Mb SIMM with
the existing 60ns SIMM would undoubt-
edly cause problems.

I Eggs in one basket

TT* A53Q contains just about everything the power user would want. It has a quick hard
drive, a 40MHz 6BEC030, and spate lor up to BMb RAM. With this little lot up aod kicking,
the average high-end application begin to look easy, but there is an Achilles' heel.

The Turbo button sitting prettily on the top casing performs the vital function of drop
ping the Amiga back down into 60000 mode. It is a vital function because a lot of software.

arcade games in particular, refuse to work with die 66030.

However, when the Turbo switch is in the off position, the hand drive and extra memory
are also disabled, as all three communicate through the same 32-bit hus Irom the same
compact motherboard. This is an inevitable consequence ol the A530 design rattier than a

design fault on the pan of the GVP engineers,

The 16-bit 68000 cannot utilise 32-bit RAM, and as the A510 5 hard drive is driven

1 through a 32-bit bus from Ihe 66030, it too drops dead at a flick ol the switch.

Unavoidable yes, but something which any prospective buyer should bear in mind as
the non-appearance erf RAM and hard drive in 68000 mode coupled with the disappear-
ance of the DMA port mean that the usee can have either a hard dnwe-based 68030 system
floppy-based low memory 6SOGO system, with nothing in-between.

ora

point the A530 is locked out and the
Amiga reverts to its mewling domestic pet
mode.

A lurbo switch in Lfoe upper casing simi-
lar to the gan*e switch on [he impact hard
drives can be used to jump between
68030 and 68000 modes.

Re-booting is required every time the
switch is used,, but the facility is still hand-
ier than the usual software switches used
by internally filled accelerator cards.

Co-processor

In terms of expansion, the A53G is capa-
ble ol growing in size in all directions. A
68802 maths co-processor can be fitted
when the unit is purchased or can be
added at a later date by the user who isn't
scared of opening the casing and invalidat-
ing the wanaitty, RAM can be expanded to
8Mb, and an extra hard drive can be
attached via the SCSI through-port at the
Tear,

The expansive or ambitious user should
therefore have enough leeway to guarantee
the ASJO's longevity as a useful peripheral.

There is no DMA through-port, but with
the expansion on olfer from within the
existing casing, this is not a particularly
important omission.

Take the A530 s price, its instant power,
and its ludicrously simple installation proce-
dure, then combine this with the marketing
principle of putting the first three steps to
computing power in one box, and GVP
must have a smash hit on their hands,
Whether it will become the best selling
peripheral in its class remains to be seen,
but it is certainly the best yet
released.

Ill

The AS 30 is a product of GVP Inc
Supplier: Silica Systems
Phone:061-309 1111
Price; £799 (120Mb HD, f Mb PAM),
1 Mb RAM expansion £59, 4Mb RAM
expansion £1 79

How fast is it?

From a quick look at the A530 s specific*
lions, one would expect it lo be fash:
than something unmentionable oil t
digging implement. Tests simply confine
this.

The 40MHz 68EC030 Is significant!,
faster than a 25MHz A3000, whir
shows up time and again on henchman
tests, but without the optional 6BB6.
FPU (floallng point unit, or maths co
processor) it lags behind on many ol lh<
important floating point maths opera
lions so vital to many advanced softwar-
^plications.

Owners can add their own FPU, but *1
40MHz 68882 from Silica Systems cw
rently costs £229, a frightening amour
for the budding ray tracer.

Many applications, of course, don
need an FPU, hut those that do will nr
slower on the 4t)MHz A530 Ihan the
would on a 2SMHz 6803G' 68882 comb
nation. Tested with Diskperf2 and AIB6
the AS30 runs out as fast as the equivz
lent 40MHz A200Q combo but, surprh
iriuly, slighlly slower than the imp*
Series II hard drive.

This is probably due to the Mart
drive used in place of the Quanlu-
ProDrive LPS. The former is a fast driv
hut not quite up to ihe Quantum
AS 30 transfer rate comes to abo-
950k per second, which is blistering*
quick but still slower Ihan the 1050k fr
second of the Impact 5eries II. to pw
l his in perspective, a Iasi ASOO dn>
would rale 6S0k per second, so the A5s
Is si il l comfortably ahead of most ol I
opposition.

In processing terms, Ihe unii
between live and over JOO times as b
as a standard ASOO when the 68HH2 el-
ls fitted, though In prattice the Sp*--
bonus works out at between three
leu iim« s depending on Ihe applical--
Whatever benchmark is taken as su
Ml an Ah Iti equipped mat him

| i noi often as a reviewer that I come
I ic toss a piece of software i can whole-
™ "Tartedly recommend. Fortunately
' j-xJ Create from Europre^ Software is
c ' such a product.

A med at infants and lower juniors, it
I d oe In every classroom in the country,
^oines great lum w?th educational

together there are five widely varying
crams tied together with an exploration
i " covery menu that's educational in its
»ir right,

f* interlocking programs allow children
I > r p therr own monsters, set up and
a ong with their own band, make and
their own jigsaws, assemble Their own
j 1 gs cards and, finally, create their own

you can step through them, musician by
musician or the whole group at a time.

Any time you feel a group member isn't
op to scratch you can alter his riff or simply
dump him in the dustbin and try someone
else. If you think you've created the next
supergroup you can save it to disk.

You can even turn your Amiga keyboard
into a piano-type keyboard and play along.
It's an extraordinarily compulsive program.

back to the menu and clicking on the ted
who's busy painting took me to the Art
Alive package. Again like all the packages,
it's mouse controlled.

f\T

Alive

menu consists of four screens show-
»; s»th the garden and the inside of a
* occupied by teddy bears. The child's
_ «• s tg explore Lhis by moving the mouse
x "ter to one of the many interesting
and clicking.

< her an object is clicked on, it shows its
nice simple words for the young
r. More often than not the objects
alive with superb animations - swings
1. cats jump, the television screen
a cartoon, a picture of a sunscape
to a moonscape.,,
list goes on and on; children are
- ’ailed by it - and this is only the menu,
■Wien away in the menu are the entrances
~e other programs. The first I found - by
iWrig on a Led with a guitar was Musk
Hisstro,

you assemble your own group of
am and even gel (hem to play. The
: r - : -im has scores of preset riffs stored and

Here you draw on the blank screen by
dragging with the left hand mouse button -
you can select this with the Pencil icon,
There are four widths of line available - via
the right-hand button - and 15 possible
colours to choose, which you can also use
as backdrops by clicking on the Clear icon.

All the con trot Icons are down the right
side ol the screen, As well as freehand draw-
ing you can choose to rubber band straight
lines, draw circles and rectangles and even
pick ready made sprites to enliven your pic-
ture. There's also an Alphabet icon which
lets you add your own messages to the
screen - in five different fonts,

Returning to the Discovery menu via
Escape I clicked on some greeting cards on
a bookshelf and was taken to Card Creator.

I here are basically two types of card - por-
trait which are taller than wide, and land-
scape, wider than talk Card Creator lets you
make both.

For a start there's a freehand drawing
facility, much as in Art Alive. It r s abo got
the latter's Undo option which rids you of

the last thing drawn. Clicking on the Pencil
Lakes you to the print your own message
icon, again in five fonts, while clicking
once more takes you to the preset sprites.

Ihese sprites include everything from
Father Christmas to the Easier Bunny and a
further dick on the icon takes you to preset
"Happy Birthday", ''Hope you gel well
soon" messages.

In short with very little effort you can
easdy produce professional results. Not
onfy that, but you can save them to disk or
pnnt them out with all the usual options
- ready to fold into a personalised card.

Back to thr menu. Clicking on the Ted
ptaying with the jigsaw took me through
to Jigsaw which is quite simply the best
computer jigsaw program I've seen.

You can import your own jigsaws, say

Mike Bibby enthuses

over an educational

*

IS

genuinely enthralling
and fun to use

from Art Alive, and proceed to cut them up
into from 12 to 111 pieces.

Pieces may be right way up r fhpped over
or totally scrambled. They appear on their
own screen but you drag a group of them
over to the jigsaw screen and position them
with the left-hand mouse button using the
right button to rotate them if necessary,
threat Fun - and you can even save your
favourite.

The last program is Make a Monster -
entered by clicking on the monster in [he
tree. Here you're presented with a grizzly
set 0 ! icons of arms, legs, torsos, heads,
eyes and so on.

You simply drag the pieces onto the
screen to create your own monster, step-
ping through all the varieties of limbs and
so on by clicking on the right-hand
button,.

Once you've got your monster you can
save him la dnsk r animate him or play a
simple game with him. All in all it's
strangely compulsive and a musi for bud-
ding Frankenstein*,

To sum up, not only is Paint and Create
highly enjoyable it's educationally valid.
Loo. It meets virtually all the requirements
of Keystage One Technology Altai nment
Target Five,

In simpler terms nearly all infant and
lower junior computer technology require-
ments are covered.

In this short review I've hardly covered
all the program's features, nor have I
explored its full potential. Suffice it to say
that it's highly enjoyable, simple to use and
a great tool tor learning.

If you're at all interested in education for
the fives and over, buy ill It's an ambitious
project, and a total success.

auto-contigures, and all other system adjust-
ments, such as whether the machine auto-
matically bools up in 7MHz or 14MHz
mode, are set using six DIP switches
mounteo on the board,

Software control Is, of course, supplied
via a disk supplied with the packaging, but
other than a quick memory check, only the
RConf program will be needed.

This enables the user to reset the
machine to one or other oF the dock

speeds, and wall also shadow any
Kickstart fife From disk. In this
respect, the board acts addition-
ally as a ROM sharer as long as the user has
the relevant Kickstart. file available.

Not as easy as it sounds, picking up a
Kickstart Fhe is passible on a bulletin board
as many Amiga users have for years been
kicking their machines into life with the
popular ZKick utility.

For Workbench 2,04 users in particular,
the option ol downloading one of the eas-
ily obtainable 1.3 Kickstart files and using
Blizzard as a ROM sharer gives the card an
extra appeal,

Blizzard is a good attempt to crack what
has previously been a very tight niche the
area in which spending a still sizeable sum
of money on what is not a giant leap for-
ward in speed is acceptable.

By offenng the 8 Mb RAM option and a
Kickstart shadowing capability, Blizzard
comes much closer than any other attempt
so far, though whether or not it is worth
the near-£30Q asking price is still going to
be a very carefully reached decision on the
part of the user.

Supplier:

Phone: G7S3 S51SBS
Price: £284.95 (2Mb RAM and 51 2k
shadow RAM)

A50G only

00 a budget can opt for an Upgrade path
which includes not only the acceleration
benefits, but a possible 8Mb RAM expan-
sion on top, making the 2Mb version at
£284.95 a tempting buy. Taking an average
external 8Mb expansion box populated to
2Mb at £1 20, the user is then paying £1 60
for the HMHz dock speed and Kickstart
shadowing capacity,

A factor which should be born in mind
with products of this kind is that litting the
Blizzard board will invalidate the Amiga's
warranty. The machine must be opened
and the CPU levered out of its socket before
Blizzard can take its place m the vacant
66000 slot, but the operation is not a com-
plex one and requires nothing more than a
bit of care with a screwdriver or two.

Clock doubling

problem with clock doubling is that
t - clock speed ol a machine's CPU is by
: means a simple speed Indicator.
1 >Hy, a CPU running at twice normal
should get through twice as many
relations, but LFifs in practice doesn't
out.

Memory limitations, the operation of
- Amiga's custom chips, and the
, processing functions not partial-
I ;■ reliant on clock speed together
n s>re to keep the real life eflects ol
> doubling down to rather less than
■ - normal speed.

• double speed chip will certainly
L aster than a standard 66000. but
^■any cases Ihe acceleration will be
- r slight, or virtually unnotioeable.

ROM shadowing

The Amiga's Kickstart ROM chip is responsi-
ble For many day-to-day features we take
for granted, such as Intuition menus r win-
dows, screens, and so on, and it works al a
reasonable speed.

However, if Kickstart could be run not
from a chip) bul from an area of faster
memory, wouldn't it zip along nicely?

The answer is yes. and most accelerator
boards offer a function whereby Kickstart
can be "shadowed"' into RAM, which is a
great advantage when the RAM in question
is of the very fart 324?lt variety.

Blizzard doesn't have 32-bit RAM, but it
does have RAM whfch it accesses directly at
the lull HMHz, and it is into a special 512k
memory bank on the board itself that
Kickstart is moved to when the shadow
option is utilised.

This feature alone is responsible for an
appreciable speed increase when using
Workbench, an y program which opens on
a Workbench screen, or any other applica-
tion which makes extensive use of Intuition.

Blizzard, the latest
low-end accelerator
board

described as the Blizzard Turbo Memory
Board, Blizzard is similar to CD's AdSpeed
in that it uses a double-docked 66000 to
up the Amiga's dock speed to HMHz.

In addition to the simple dock doubling,
however. Blizzard can also function as an
8Mb RAM expansion, and has an option
for ROM shadowing.

program development in the

~,:h really, but the problem was that
k K vone had an idea qf how the program
xi d be improved.

-mas frqm the beginning was Francois
L : nel*i own personal vision of what a
qramming language and editor should
be and although it was revolutionary at
time, there would obviously come a
nr* when it had to- be changed.

~3stes change, and although your envi-
- men! in Amos Classic could be conflg-
to suit you, a tot of things about the
sr.-erri were not quite right.

A control structure has been added, ELSE IF, which is

~^AP error trapping

ASSIGN

The assign command has been added, just like the
AmigaDOS command.

Ports and Libs

About 40 to SO commands have been added covering the
devices like SER: PRT; PAR:,, and atso advanced commands
for libraries tike Lib Open, Lib Close.

MED Support

For playing MED modules direct^. plus of course Midi sup-
port through MED. The MED player is a library so can be
updated without altering the main Amos Pro program.

Noisetractar support

Play Noisetracker modules directly. This is boiled into the
system so Future revisions of the NT program may differ,

Aftexit control

A big selling point in the US, as ARexx was a major forte
over tFiere even before it was incorporated into the Amiga
system. ARexx ports can be opened and data sent and
received as normal.

EXEC

You can now run any Amiga DOS program from within
Amos using the new EXEC command.

POKES and PEEKS

Now you can use these commands to put stnnqs into
memory locations as well as numeric data.

Arnos Interface

This is a major part of the revised Amos r allowing you pre-
viously impossible control over the interface of your Amos
system and any other interfaces you might like to destgn
for programs.

The system starts humbly by letting you customise the
interface using IFF screens containing all the buttons and
window graphics. I he elements are grabbed using a simi-
lar process to a sprite grabber.

A resulting resource file is then saved off to be loaded
by the program when tFie interface is in use! There is also
the Amos Interface string based language, which is like
AMAL only bigger more complex, Not for the faint-
hearted, This is Amos Professional after all!

Programming

from using the Classic Amos program in
all its incarnations will stand you in good
stead. What Amos Professional represents
is a more flexible and powerful environ-
ment lor you to develop your software in,
rather than a complete change of
program.

Opinions? Well for my money this is
the bee's nose and the dog's anatomy. I
can't think oi a better answer to the ques-
tion: ,r What tan you add to Amo* to make
it better?"

The customising options alone will
keep me busy lor weeks, and sometime in
the Spring I might get around to using
some new commands,

In the meantime, you and I can use
Amos Pro to write Amos programs like the
ones we wrote before, except this time

one dark spat on the horizon is that at the
time of writing there Isn't a new compiler

Six of the
best

The program comes on six disks now |
as many people complained about
Amos that the examples were too few
and not of very high quality. I though!
they were pretty good myself, but \
guess the customer is always right!

So now in Amos you have loads of
examples and backup programs and
the online help facility for the hard d
thinking, in tot At there are around 200
more commands in Amos Pfo than
there was in the most recent version of
Amos Classic.

Your old compiler won't work with
the new program, but a new version
tailed Amos Professional Compiler wiH
be out very soon.

sion of the compiler won'! be that long in
lUe works, so cross everything crossable
for luck.

Should you buy Amos Pro? If I might

price af a Ford Fiasco, would m ± T^J
you hesitate? f >

Amos Monitor

The tutor program from Easy Amos revamped and now
available for lull Amos users, Eug tracing and stomping a
speciality.

New editor

There is a new editor program in Amos Pro r with a much
more workmanlike interface design, pull-down menus, and
the ability to load, edit and run multiple programs.

Configuration

There's a new online config program, which enables you to
alter your settings easily and quickly without having !□ toad
and run a separate program. There are abo conligurc edi»
tor options like screen sizes, error messages etc, all of which
can be changed.

Compatibility

You can load old Amos and Easy Amos programs, and run
them quite happily. There's also a check facility to Lost
compatibility with Amos Pro prog rams and the old versions
□f the interpreter, which automatically traces the areas
where you are likely to have problems if you want the pro-
gram to run on, all versions.

Machine code

You can now load machine code intD procedures. H the
procedure is full then the code in the prot will be erased
and replaced with the machine code block.

It's best to load machine code into a blank proc, and

then that machine code program can be accessed using
the proc name,

Keyboard macros

This system lets you assign any series of commands to sin-
gle keystrokes making life a lor easier it there are some long
repetitive processes you used to do by hand, like block out
areas of the program using HEM statements,

Not only that, but any menu option can be reconfigured
to be triggered by any key you like.

Mark and Find

Marks remember where you've been and mark places in
the program which you intend to visit often.

Undo/Redo system

You can Undo and Redo any number of lines, limited only
hy memory,

Gut/Paste

Now you can cut and paste at any position ami not just
whole lines. The left button is used to mark sections of
code, rather than the right button in old versions, and this
mode is activated by double clicking on the character you
wish to start from.

Sound effects

You can now set up any one you want to be used by the
system, rather than the old built-in sounds, This makes it
more like the sort of thing you hear coming from an Apple
Macintosh (spit).

Custom commands

You can replace menu commands with your own Amos
programs.

Auto- save

For those of you who live in country areas, like rm f and
have power cuts every now and then because a cow hit
through a power cable.

Kill Editor

A new command to remove the whole editor while a pro-
gram is running, which then re-loads it after you've fin-
ished. There are options in config to stop this happening in
programs you get from othe/ people.

User menu

A place to store your own programs and mm them, A
accessories run from this menu.

¥

On-line help

A sophisticated help system which means you have no real
excuse for getting stuck once you run the program. An,
word can be clicked on and help about the keyword is
available on-line as you work.

Direct mode

This has been improved to have window gadgets for cer-
tain functions, and an AmigaDOS Shell -like history, using
the cursor keys rather than the function beys. The result is a
more powerful and user-friendly front end for the Amc-i
programmer.

Danger abounds this month? No boring vectors,, no
scrolling sleepiness, just the cream of the demo crop.
First op is Olympic Cyclist Anim (17 Bft, 2155), From
the title screen of this IMb-only animation l learned
that the UK have previously held the Olympics in
1908 and 194B. Roll on Manchester 2000 r eh?

Anyway, I was expecting dodgy digitised video-
tape, a la mayhem on Wheels I. Instead I was pleas
antly surprised to see a fully convincing animation of

the British bike which beat the i
world at the recent bash in

o|L

Barcelona, as ridden by Chris \

Board man, complete with stupid L -
hat.

The animation is smooth,, although as it only does
ore thing there ain't exactly hours ol fun here. Still,
well worth a peek,

Underground all nighters here we come? The
Vamma Vamnva Hardcore Megamix (J7 Srt r 21 3 ft) is a
simple but elective aural assaults A mad - le mind
bending - strobe accompanies a competent demo
containing all the righi noises and breakbeats, from
Kicks like a Mule's The Bouncer to rhol grungy noise.

Demos like this are good fun, of course, but rot a
patch on a half decent DJ, Still, it's better than most.
It's certainly better than the Sesame's Treet Remix
(S? Bit 2089) which is a version of the recent love ib-
on h ale i I J 'rave ,r smash from the Smart Es,

This opens with a loading shot ol a badly drawn
man smoking something dubious which disappears to
reveal... a blank screen as the demo is playing.

It's an average version. Hie sound quality is accept-
able, but it hardly breaks any boundaries, and with
the record absolutely guaranteed lo end up at 99p In
the bargain bins, vinyl’ s ye r‘ best bet for this one.

Alternatively, don't bother and buy some proper
dance music instead...

which an adult would be best reading and
explaining to a child, you can use either

Sul this is noL all - once a child has got this
far, a paint palette appears at the bottom
of the screen, and the picture may be
coloured in as a reward for guessing the
word correctly.

It's not really any more educational
than the time-proven Biro-andback-oTan-

less persuade children who are more used
to joysticks, lasers and power-ups to play

which they might otherwise never

such a concept a little out of date in

Anti-Virus

v6.04

by Paul Thompson

This compendium of virus checkers lor
kCickstart 2,o users is more a much
needed service than a set of utilities.

The damage which can be caused by
viruses is not to be underestimated, espe-
cially if you have a hard drive. They can
destroy months or years of collected data,
corrupt irreplaceable disk and basically
make life hell For anyone careless enough
to have caught one,

I say careless enough, because with
enough diligence and a good virus
checker you can avoid or at least massively
reduce your chances of catching one of
these digital destroyers.

The problem has always been that it's a
cat and mouse game between those who
dedicate themselves to killing viruses and
repairing the damage they’ve done, and
those who write thEm. With new viruses
appearing all the tim^ it is imperative that
serious users keeps up to date with
developments.

This compendium is for just such peo-
ple. Officially updated Every two weeks, it
is, in reality, updated up to twice a week,

17 Bit. 2130

Here's an original idea - an air
traffic control simulation. An
involved and large program, you
can choose your airport, from
those deemed to be easy to the
harder ones,

i started with Lisbon, one of
the easy ones, and promptly made a complete
mess ol things. The program is wont to pop up
with sarcastic comments, such as" Good Job - but
use the airways' 1 , when it's evident that you're
doing anything but a good job, and the authen-
ticity of the airports featured adds excitement to
the Simula bon.

Although I was absolutely appalling at this, Tve
never lancred myself sluing in a control Lower
controlling thousands of lives. If you do, you'll
love it.

with all the latest changes incorporated
into the checkers it offers.

The charge for this service is a mere
£15 for 12 updates, which is just enough
to cover costs. It's a smalt price to pay lor
peace of mind.

REM vl .0

by Mark Forrester

Heft's a simple but highly useful idea,
which is really only ol use to hard drive
owners P unless you use the same Floppy
every time you boot up your machine -
say, a word processor.

REM - short for Reminder - tells the
computer to remind you upon booting up

of any important dates coming up. It'll
remember birthdays, anniversaries and
indeed whatever you tell it r and comes
with comprehensive instructions concern-
ing its installation and use.

it's a simple idea - aren't they invariably
the best? - and is both well implemented
and useful. A classic shareware uLility if ever

As NB5 point out, the best game of the
several featured here is Glass Back, a plat-
lormer in the classic Manic Miner style., In
the mining world, a glassback is F appar-
ently, a lazy miner who spends his time
lying around..

It looks quite nice, with some pleasing
animation oE obstacles, but your sprite is a
little small and dim. It's certainty extremely
playable, but there's nothing here that a
Spectrum would struggle with.

However, taken alongside the other live
games supplied, this package is lair value

how long you can survive playing Light

17 Bit, 2139

A version of the arcade favourite contain-
ing all the usual & - fed and black num-
bers, automatic calculation of money and
winnings and a paisabte, although noL
particularly impressive, wheel.

It could have been done a lot better -
it certainly could have looked nicer - bgt
hey! this is the public domain. Somebody
might have been looking tor a version of
roulette for years, and here it is.

turn them into fully-fledged adventures.
Yowsersl

You define locations, words,, objects
and characters, and can change stan-
dards such as unknown word trapping
and music. Although I've not had a
chance to write an adventure yet, it cer-
tainly looks and feels fully-featured, pro-
fessional and reliable.

Only one person left who can help
us... blah blah.,, loads of suspiciously
stupid aliens... blah blah.. H It's that
kind of game.

After an Inordinate amount of disk
swapping, the purpose of which I fall
to understand, you finally reach the
first screen, which is an asteroid
dodging affair.

You can crash through loads of
asteroids before you linally die,
When you do? "Please insert disk.."
prompts you to reach for the off but-
ton. Not very good at all, I'm afraid.

This home accounts package can handle
up to 12 accounts simultaneously -
plenty for the home, one would imagine
- and runs from a main menu which
allows the viewing and entering of
accounts as well as access lo other
menus, which cover for instance, the
inputting of data (including date,
amount, and optional cheque numbers
and comments).

A huriget comparison feature allows to
user to see how much of a set budget
has been used to date.

It's a tidy and businesslike program,
presented in functional grey, and runs
Smoothly and efficiently. The paint is,
though, that I've never met anybody
who gets any further than the back of
their latest gas bill when working out
how much money they've got left.

However, this may be more oF a reflec-
tion upon me and my acquaintances
than Society at large. If you're prepared
to put in the Lime and effort required |q
keep your accounts updated on a regular
basis, look no further than The Money
Program.

Klaktris

17 Bit, 2174
by Tony Hosier

This is like Tetris insomuch as the game
area comprises a grid into which pieces
tall to be positioned by the player, and
that you die when the pile ol pieces
reaches the top of the game area.

However, where Tetris works using
shapes, Klaklris u&es colours. All the pieces
are the same shape - three by one blocks
- but each block contains three colours,
which can be switched by pressing the
Fire button.

The idea is to make rows of three or
more cubes of the same colour, which can
run horizontally, vertically or diagonally^
When a row is formed, the blocks which
make it up disappear, allowing those
above to fall down.

The graphics are simple but very attrac-
tive, and the way the blocks crack up and
disintegrate is a piece of coding worthy ol
the crumbling ol the pillars ol Atlantis, or
something,

However, as with most Tetris variants,
at the end of the day it does not beat the
original for sheer, hair-tearing addictive*
ness, BuL it's worthwhile variant
nonetheless.

Words not wonga!

Wordprocessing need not cost a gold-plated Parker.
Here are two biros of the on-screen writing world
Powertext vl .02

Deja Vu, L/98
by Gary Stimpson

PD wordprocessors seem to be getting more and more like
their professional counterparts all the time,, with complex,
features becoming the norm and ease of use improving dra-
matically with every new update,

Powertext has a rather Impressive k a lures list, including
full custom format/ Ascii loading and saving and a lully-fea
tured spell checker.

It^s got a proper find and replace function, the ability to
switch between Insert and Overwrite modes (useful for
someone used to using one or the other elsewhere) and a
wide preferences setup, Including auto-save, the ability to
edit, toad and save function keys, and adjustable lab
settings.

It's not perfect, There are some features missing which I
would have like to have seen, not least the ability to select
blocks by highlighting them with the mouse, rather than
having to use menus and ihe keyboard, but for £4 it is an
absolute bargain. Indeed, those who write the odd letter
need look no further than this for the answer to their word-
processing needs.

17 Bit, 2129
by Nicholas Harvey

Spoilt for choice? Another mega PD wordprocessor which
comes complete with the AZSpell spell checker, a wealth o
text styles (as opposed to Icmls) and even macro support!

It looks clean and workmanlike, with menus at the lop ol
the screen controlling most functions,, and seems to operas
fast enough for most users.

St ill no easy marking of text blocks for cutting and part
irig, but again, what do you expect? U s a complete bargain

17 Bit, 2167

This, it must be admitted, is an extremely
well presented disk magazine. As the title
suggests, it pertains to the demonic side
of our collective existence, featuring such
articles as Top 20 Murderers (average
killings per murderer: 5,5), How to
Commit Suicide {"however desperate you

are, don't use mains electricity - it hurts!")
and Corpse of the Month ( J, if you have a
favourite corpse, send it

Thankfully it's not really that Satanic at
all, the sinister overtones being about as
developed as those in the seminal horror
flick Bad Taste, where the general feeling
is more the overworked imagination of a

typical tS-ye-ar-old than anything seriously
evil bemg responsible for most of the dark
stories contained within,

A section detailing classic cock-ups in a
certain rival magazine to the hallowed AC
raised a laugh in this office, but Satanic?
Naaah. Come on children, stop playing
with that computer. It r s tea-time!

ask Amiga DOS scripts, such as
the startup-sequence, are no
more than simple batch files
*" - execute a list of commands one
#■-• ".tie other, but there are many more
1 - 1 : ^ uses for the Amiga's command Ban*
. and,, with a little effort, scripts can
■s- * Kle to carr y out fairly complex rasks,
Tike a Jook r For example, at the install
‘ nes used by many commercial soft-
m$*i houses. The chances are that
f iDGS is bemg used to check the slate
f : -ard drive, look for various configura-
and report back to the user with

- Lions on how to proceed with the
''.rjlation.

Such scripts may appear daunting at
1 " out AmigaDOS's inherent simplicity
they're really not much more com-
; : 'ed than the scripts we've written over
' - " jst Six months or sOr

- - 1' 1 s look at the most basic technique
: in these circumstances. The IF ..,

\mif

The major limitation with the IF com-
"i"d is that there are only a few condi-
lens which can be tested for (see box),

. aWes can be tested using EQ, CT, and
and the WARN test can monitor the
-■ s response to the ASK command, but
M ‘S It.

Eefore despairing, however, now would
a ii good time to look closer at the
' : NV command, which when used with
F ..ENDIF parr can lend AmigaDOS

This month's

IF.. .ELSE.. .ENDIF

The IF command tan use the follow-
i| options:

SOT, WARN, EXISTS, EQ, CT, CE,
i Al^ ERROR, FAIL

sOT can be combined with any of
:ne other op lions,

■ hRH is returned positive if the user
run answered V(es) to an ASK ques-
tiofi and negative if N(o},

EXISTS is used to check for the exis
■•‘-nte of files or drawers.

iQ. GT, and GE (equals, greater than,
freater-thanof -equal lo) are used to
■mpare two alphanumeric strings.

The script begins with the usual .key
line which tells the Amiga to expect user
input during the script's execution, then
in the next two lines uses a special feature
of the GETENV' command to ask a ques-
tion and accept any input the user likes.
This is accomplished through the use of
redirection and the option.

Redirection, as we know from earlier in
the series, is the technique whereby, using
pointed brackets, the Amiga is told to
send output from a command to a file or
device other than the default.

In the case of the GETENV command,
the default destination far output is the
current Shell window, but we r ve told the
command to send it to the file
ENV‘: INSULT instead

If you examine the last character in the
GETENV line, you'll notice that it is an

commands

VAL is used to lesl I he numeric value
of a variable,, such as a counter.

ERROR and FAIL are used lo check fqr
error return codes and test the sever-
ity of the Iasi error.

They will not work unless FATLAT
has been used to raise the lail level
above 10 and 20 respectively.

Why ENV?

ENV: is the directory used to store all
environment variables, and is usually
set up by the Workbench startup-
sequence as a directory in the RAM
disk. When we redirect output Lo a
file in tNV:, that file - If it doesn't
already exist - is created, and as it is
now in £NV: it ii automatically treated
as an environment variable,

scripts a whole new lease of fife,

Using a combination of these two and
the odd A5K command, the script writer
can produce active dialogues between the
user and the script, ideal for almost any
purpose you care to name.

Most ot what follows wilt, fm afraid, be
of use only Lo Workbench 1.3 and 2.04
users, as the environment variables in
Workbench 1.2 are much more restricted
iind do not allow the sort of operations
we'll be attempting, Sorry, but that's
progress for you.

A straightforward example of what
can be done with environment vari-
ables would look like:

, yiM

fuhe 'flit to, litEj 1 ! Insult if if you diffi 1-
gtttnv > pr v : i nsyU »
is k "Are jgy HlDnf « * Slniuli 7 8

echo 'In that case, sue to you vfth IflODS
on?" 1

(til

ii£id 'Hhi ! Just as U! H
eniti i

tM TDti tlLLIHt *s «. TvEUG?

rather than:

b*i ?PJ C4LLIM« HE i HRiULTl

Note the use of ASK, IF, ELSE, and
ENDIF to round off our script. The ASK
command prints a question which incor-
porates the J insult variable in the same
way as the ECHO command, then passes
the Y or N answer to the IF command.
When the user answers Yfes) to an ASK
command, the WARN flag is set to posi-
tive, which means the IF WARN state-
ment wilt execute the instructions before
the ELSE command.

When the user answers n(d), WARN is
not set, which means the second instruc-
tion or set of instruct ions between EL5F
and ENDIF is executed.

By applying a little lateral thinking,

asterisk, and not a particularly self-
explanatory one at that,

This character merely tells the GETENV
command to take its input from the con-
sole device (the current Shell window, in
other words), which explains why when
the scop! runs it waits after the questk>n
called by the ECHO statement until the
user types something in and presses the
Return key.

At this point, the word just entered is
passed to the environment^ variable
"Insult*, then printed to the screen by
the ECHO command which follows
straight after. However, ECHO only
knows to print the variable because we
use the t sign.

When Workbench 2, Ox sees a E sign, it
knows that what follows is the name of
an environment variable, and acts
accordingly. In the case of our ECHO
command, the contents of the variable
are printed to the screen rather than the
literal contents ol the echo string, so we
get:

most users should be capable of produc-
ing almost unlimited variations on this
theme using exactly the same techniques
as our frivolous example stripe

Even the most complex scripts use
these commands, some in more ingenious
ways, some by simply working through a
great number of them, but it should be
clear by now that without the IF... END IF
construction and the use OF environment
variables, AmigaDOS scripts would be
much less flexible.

Next month, well look at more ways in
which the AmigaDOS senpt can be heeled
up. The above examples form the tore of
what can be done with AmigaDOS, espe-
cially in situations where the user is asked
to make same sort of input, but there's
plenty more to come,

of the demise of the A.5QU is worrying
me. I have been considering upgrading

which you think would be best and
advise if there are any compatibility
problems?

• Buy a hard drive (GVP is a favourite,
but could you recommend nne which
does not fit in the DMA slot?) then
-;*pand memory to 4Mb either through
the hard drive expansion or a Virgo
card..

NeaL, go for an JAM emulator (i await
details of the Em plant IBM version). Is
there a way to attach Zorro slots to I he
A5Q0?

• Try to trade up to an A1 500 or above
and uprate specs to match those above.

• Turn to the PC market and give up
□n Commodore altogether,

Which is the best and/or cheapest?

Imploder tips

I arn writing with some useful information lor virus homers.
When a file virus infects a life and Hie user crunches lhal
iile udng a program like Power Packer or Imploder, virus
killers cannot detect the bogus code because it is crumbed.

Most killers will advise you lo decrunch the file and
check It, but What about files Crunched with Imploder
which say they are protected from decrunching? I have the
answer to this problem II the person has Imploder 1.0 to
1.0

Imploder produces two types of crunched programs, one
which uses the explode.library, and the other type which
uses the complete clex ranch header. These files can be
altered lo enable the user lo dec ru rich them if they do the
following.

First 1 1 rid out if die file requires die explode.library. This
can be done by trying to decrunch the file when Imploder

says it is a "prated cd library Implode" or a ’'protected nor-
mal implode".

Then, II the file is a "protected library implode", use a
he* editor Such as NewZap and change byte J54 Irom JBO
to 500, and save the I ile, which should then be
decrunchabJe.

II ihc file Isa ’protected normal Implode' 1 , change byte
S4K from 54E to 561 and byte S49 from S94 to S2E. Again,
the file should now decrunch.

After this, even pro! ec ted, crunched imploder files won't
be safe bom the better virus killers.

NTSC niggles

This letter is in response to a reply given
So a letter from Andrew Griffiths in the

problems with some games. The possible
fault that you failed to mention is that
the second-hand machine he purchased
is probably an NTSC machine.

How do l know? I own one! The fact
Shal some games load at ail is probably
due lo his having a falter Agnus with
PAL/NTSC capability. Im surprised you
didn't mention the possibility that he hai
an NTSC machine.

Now for my problem., \ have an A5GG
Plus with 2Mb Chip RAM, and it seems that
wFien I run certain games the machine
locks up with a Guru message which turns
out to be insufficient memory.

I used to have a rev, 6 A A5DQ with
512k chip and St 2k fast RAM before !
purchased the Plus, and everything
worked fine on it.

Since everything worked fine before, i
am inclined to think that a lack of fast
RAM is causing my problems, k it? Is
there a chance that my wimpy power
supply has something to do with it?

Luis Reich, RAF Akanbury

The reason I didn ’t menrion the possibif=

— f for -some inexplicable reason you
missed our taster of the new
OpalViiion in ACs October D TV
Ai manat, the news that yet another 24 -bit
board has arrived may not exactly leave
you quivenng with expectation .

If, however, you did partake of that
mouthwatering prase, you're probably
rapidly approaching the jelly stage.

For the poor souls who missed the mas*
terpiece, a brief resume is worthwhile. The
main claim ol the new silicon sensation is
Its potential as a PAL successor to the
much-hyped, but never present Video
Toaster.

Although the toast of the States and the
apple of many an anorak's eye, the afore
mentioned accessory never made it across
the pond.

After much wailing and gnashing of
teeth, the unwashed European masses
finally gave up and resigned themselves lo
life without the ultimate kitchen
companion.

Ray of light

But what's this? fust as all hope is lost, a
ray of light emanates Irom "down under".
The source of the soap for the aforemen-
tioned masses is Opal Vision. If the new
board and more precisely its expansion
modules actually match the marketing, it

more.

In the past the main problem with the
myriad ol existing 24-t)it systems has been
the lack of the one commodity that the
OpafVision appears to have in abundance -

expandability. Even such illustrious 24-bit
titles as Amiga Centre Scotland's Harlequin
have suffered several broadsides due to the
initial lack ol frame grabbing and gen lock-
ing - although both of these above are
now catered for. Other systems such as

Avideo have made impressive and the*:

introduction of basic animation plus 24

dia crown with PIP display., genlocking a”:
frame grabbing thanks to additional hard-
ware, while cheap and cheerful system
have brought high quality art to the masses
in the form of the extremely impressive ar
flexible DCTV composite display system.

With all these systems pitching for th*
punters' hard-earned cash., the world of 2-
bit art has become a financial and technic j
minefield, with most boards lacking thJi
one vital feature while boasting numert ^
others that the opposition can't match.

. *.e almost all the major manufacturers,

As any manufacturer will tell you, the one thing that can make or
break any board is the paint package which accompanies its initial
release. In the case of OpalVision, Centaur Development have
absolutely nothing to worry about.

After using alii the major paint packages on the market I can
confidently state that this "freebie* bundled with the board is defi-
nitely one of the best around.

3 stress the "freebie" point because the program's only real rival,
TWalnt, is far bom free, costing as much as £ 8 OO on the Harlequin
display board, although it is much cheaper on other systems.

If you're a veteran of standard Amiga painting environments
you're sure to leel at home with OpalPaint as everything including
hot keys closely follows the combinations pioneered by our old
friend DPaint,

All the program controls are very logi-
cally arranged and easy to understand
thanks not only to excellent design but to a
small window on the main control panel
which pops up useful comments on the
purpose of the various menu items.

Painting and processing times are quite
acceptable with truly excellent result from
the impressive selection of tools. Features
such a graduated fills, multiple brush han-
dling, transparency and stencils have been
excellently implemented.

Aside from the usual collection of paint-
ing tods, there's a fine selection of power options arid original fea-
tures, such as unlimited page size which can be scrolled around at
will.

Another such feature is the virtual memory option, Which allows
you to specify that the unlimited number of spare pages, unused
brushes, and regions outside the work ane a are to be stoned on disk
rather than eating valuable RAM.

Other features include direct access to the frame grabber, Put
perhaps mast exciting of all is the addition ol a revolutionary func-
tion entitled Artist Tools* which brings image processing into the
painting process.

After selecting the Modes option on
the main menu, a fresh requester appears
containing 18 standard processing and
painting effects such as tinting, contrast,
brightness, mosaic, gamma, colourist? and
so or.

This Initial 18 are supplemented by
four definable button which can ad id an
additional four effects from a selection of
25 on disk.

Once selected, the effects act just like

paint, but process rather than colour.
The huge plus of this approach is the
degree of processing control hitherto
Impossible within any other paint
package.

In addition, a wide selection of
paintiny style* are also on hand includ-
ing airbrush, pencil, chalk, water-
colour and something called Texts,
which appears to emulate felt tips.

To complement the painting styles,
a selection of five paper types have
been added ranging from plain
through to hessian, all lending their own feel and style to your
creations.

Apart from the excellent ease of use and the quality of the stan-
dard painting took and effects, the Artist tools alone easily puts
OpalPamt on a par with power packages such as TVPaint

The power ul the option is extended with a zap feature which
duLumatkal y applies the selected and nt course cn-rn .ihiu uHect to
the entire image.

As a result applying overall processing couldn't be simpler and
is sure to mean far fewer trips to ADPro or ImageMaster for final

tweaking. Unfortunately there are a few
unfinished features which are promised
for the next update of the software.
These include ARexx and Alpha channel
support plus the unusual magic wand
feature which allows area fills within pre-
defined fill parameters.

In other words the software will
employ definable tolerances and look for
logical points within the image at which
to terminate the fill.

As a result, there will be no need to
draw around tricky elements within an
with either solid Colours, gradients or

image prior to
textures.

After a Jot of searching there's only one area in which I can find
ljult. This concerns the lack of density control over brushes cut
Irom the canvas.

Although gradient fills and transparency are extremely well
implemented, with up to three user defined brushes available at
any one time, brushes cut from the canvas can only be warped ori-
ented and resized.

In other words, it appears impossible to apply a definable grad-
uated transparency Fade to a brush, although it is possible to adjust
the overall transparency.

When this annoying limitation is addressed and the alpha chan-
nel and AKexx are implement^ ! r m fairly certain OpalPalnt could
make a very strong claim as one of the best all-round 24-bit pack-
age on the market. Not bad going for a freebie...

nevertheless a vital addition It OpalVbion if

Also, for the professional 24-bit artist

average 24-bil artist As a result, a grabber
and genlock have been combined into a
single unit which plugs directly onto the
motherboard.

Once the aforementioned grabber/gen-
lock combination is in place it not only
does both of the above but also acts as a
composite encoder and decoder, and
allows 256-level linear keying.

As you might expect from a product
vying to break into the professional market,
an impressive array of signal outputs are on
hand including our old friend composite,
plus S-VH5 or HiB. Quality control rests in
the capable hands of the Sony broadcast
camera chipset which comes as standard
with the module.

Live video

Aside from pure ouLput quality, the
internal genlock also boasts 256-tevef trans-
parency overlay via the board's built-in
alpha channel for both Opal and Amiga
imagery, allowing live video to appear
through transparent or semi-transparent
areas along with the usual array of standard
keying options.

Another added bonus is the chroma
keyer, which has just been added to the
grabber/genlock combination. With Lhis
final addition it appears that any would-be
QpaM&lon owner has everything on a sin-
gle board, except a Luma-keyer. Who
knows, even that may appear in time.

As you might expect, all genlocking
operations are software controlled, allow-
ing automated fading, switching, and key-

mg in a similar manner Lo the
Progressive’s Video Blender

to show.

avoid permanent eye strain. Although good
news for many newcomers, the addition of
a flicker fixer won't ease the financial pain
that many will feel from discarding their
original flicker fixers in order to add
GpaMsion in the first place.

Obsolete

Of course this only appkes to an unlucky
Few,, but it r i a cross many A 1500/2000
owners will have lo hear as the internal
Opal Vision fits directly into the video slot
on such machines, instantly rendering old
flicker fibers obsolete or at least difficult to
use without frequent card switching and
monitor re-connection..

Although all of the above provide an
impressive array of enhancements, it's the
next and final piece in the OpalVision Jig-
saw which is set to make it the European
equivalent of the ill-fated Toaster,

Again with yet more culinary overtones,
the Roaster Chip is the linal modular addj-
lion responsible for the Toaster-style effects
that the makers claim are possible via
OpalVision.

When installed into a noticeably vacant
spot on the OpalVision motherboard, the
Roaster will apparently allow real-lime pro-
cessing and morphing of live video,
OpalVision images and Amiga graphics.

Thanks to the power of the new chip,
the makers claim that it will be a simple
matter to lake live video, wrap it onto a
sphere, wave it like a flag and produce
page turns to reveal secondary images, flips

or scaling effects - in short, the
type of effects that made the Toaster so
special.

Th is is r literally, an unlimited supply of
effects which are quiet simply beyond the
reach erf the competition. The implementa-
tion of DVEs or Digital Video Effects is the
one area whkh made the roaster the leg-
end it has become, and if implemented
properly is sure to do the same lor
OpalVision.

Along with the long awaited DVE's
comes a mare familiar trick, namely Picture
In Picture or PIP, a feature already
available on the IV24 in d 1 2-bit form but
now supplied in the full glory of 24-bit
within the Opal system with its
scalable windows, zoom options and
scrolling all part and parcel of the
overall effect,

King of Karate

Now for i he final program to accompany OpalVision. As the name has probab
hinted, this particular package isn't In the usual artistic vein.

Although a first, and A fine example of the board’s potential as an animator
medium, I can't help thinking ilsa classic case of marketing gone mad in a desperat*
attempt to al tract the "more money than sense 1 ' sector of the market.

Still, no matter what the reasoning behind inclusion, it's yet another first which »
both Fast and of course very colourful - if perhaps a little lacking on depth and laslir
appeal.

The game Itself is very simple, with the two combatants taking to the held ol hat
tie on one of three backdrops, Each fighter is controlled by a player nu compult
opponents available I'm afraid.

The controls are the usual joystick combinations ol button and non -bull*
manoeuvres.

Although fast and furious, the action only lasts one bout before you're added tc
the high score table and returned to the main menu to choose another backdrop.

As you can tell it r s pretty basic stuff on the gameplay side and confirms Its limik
long term appeal I hanks to lhe 5.5Mb of valuable disk space it eats on installation.

Modular additions

Although the marketing claims for all
the board's modular additions are mouth-
watering, unlike some other publications
AC will wait until the hardware arrives
before screaming its praises.

Fortunately the wait may not be a long
one, as Sen Vost of Micro-PACE has already
quoted an arrival bme of Lwo months for all
Lhe additional modules, including the
Roaster Chip,

As soon as they cross the pond, AC will
bring you all the facts and answer the
Toaster question once and for all,
Apparently, all the modules are complete

and are going throuqh final testing as we
speak.

The verdict? The facts speak for them-
selves, With the bask board and accompa-
nying software retailing for £899, it would
still be a strong contender for anyone's
cash even without the options for expan-
sion.

With the ability to turn the system into a
tailor made 24-bit workstation complete
with genlock, frame grabber, chroma key,
dicker fixer, PIP r true 24 -bit double buffered
display, video switcher, broadcast resolu-
tion and of course the unique OVEs, the
Opal is quite simply the only choice for any

24-bit all-rounder who needs a system EJi
will grow with their imagination and nee '
Quite simply, it's a spectacular
product,

Product information

OpalVision is a product of
Centaur Development

Supplier: Micro PACE

Tel: 0753 5S18S8

Price: £899

Alongside the essential and excellent paint
package, Centaur Development have
release yet another 24-bit Innovation in
the form of the Amiga’s first 24-bit presentation system.

Unfortunately - in my humble opinion - the claim Thai
Opal Presents is a fully blown presentation system is a little
ambitious. The title of a designer slide show would per-
haps be closer to the mark.

Although very impressive, there are a few points which
no self-respecting presentation system should be without
But before l completely destroy the program's credibility
it H s well worth looking at some of its
impressive strengths.

As you can see from the screenshots.

Opal Presents has an attractive and intu-
itive interface which allows you to load as
many 24-bit images as you wish, assign
any one erf a whole host of wipes or lades,
define the effect speed and display time
and speedy the display formal whether it
be with or without Amiga imagery.

Once an image, whether it be Iff, JPEG
of Opal's own OV^Fast formal, is loaded,
its thumbnail will appear within the top
strip. These thumbnails are present
throughout the whole range of OpalVision
software providing Instant file recognition
at a glance.

Once a thumbnail is highlighted., its
own display settings can be defined sepa-
rately tor all the graphics within the show.

When all the images in the series are
defined. Lhe resulting script can be saved
ready for instant playback within the pro-

Opal Presents

gram, or launched independently via an ARexx script.

The reaily amazing asped erf the program is the incredi-
ble smoothness, speed and overall quality of the effectSj
which easily match and often outstrip even such illustrious
names as Scala and Broadcast Titler IS.

Quite literally they have to be seen to be believed.
Unfortunately it may be these very effects that destroy the

program's claim as a true presentation
system. As the display options show, the
combination of Opal and Amiga images
Is a high priority. Unfortunately, as transitions betweer
Opal images occur, the Amiga element of the overall d^-
play is removed and only returns when the transition is
complete.

As a result, animation with a variety of backgrounds, or
employing programs such as Sea la Id add animated text
would be at best a rather clumsy affair.

Having said that, if you're willing to have the accompa-
nying message as part of the Qpa
image - avoiding the Amiga element
altogether - basic static titling is still pos-
sible and impressive when combined
with the amazing wipes and Fades.

The only other query concerning
Opal Presents is a slight dislike of certair
hard disk controllers. After trying the sys-
tem on several machines I did on occa-
sion encounter slight difficulties
concerning Amiga and Opal screer
flicker during transitions.

As a result, ifs worth enquiring with
Micro-PACE as to the suitability of yoi_r
iB ex sting equipment pnor to investment.

Even with these reservations, it s
worth stressing that Opal Presents b
nevertheless a teal innovation in a-;
much at it is the first additional program
on any board that provides an animated
stage onto which 24-bit art can appear
A 24 ^bit Scab it may not be, but as dis-
play tool it's in a league of its own.

.THE UNSTOPPABLE GAMES MACHINE.

Misinformed and proud

To keep you moaning
bar-stewards happy
while you're waiting for
the release of B17 and
Atat, Microprose are
about to release Gun-
ship 2000, a hack,
slash and bum violence
fest.

At long last Gamer
brings you Zool, the
game that is to be a
sharp poke in the botty
for Sonic The Hedge-
hog - not that any
Amiga owners are
really arsed about Sonic
anyway but it's here
and what a chicken
butty it is indeedy.

It's a platformy thing
created by a graphics
team with a penchant
for dolly mixtures and
dodgy films - read on,
read on.

Ace of Spades

i remember reading rtn NME review about Motorhead. ft said theft
noshing, but nothing, can prepare you for iter testiCFfrlhaWng vol-
ume. if your aim in life is to be foud and sacialfy unacceptable then
read on.

me “eccentric’ exploits of one of the world's fiavourrte heavy
metal bands can be experienced by everyone, even your gran.

You play Lemmy the warty bass player, whose talents stretch to

being Jimi Hindu's roadie and being thrown out of Hawkwind for
taking to many drugs. The idea is to release your friends from the
dutches ot sornebudy,

The actual game can be described as a beat-'em-up along the
line* of Golden Axe. but Its infinitely more silty. The player has to
run around Karaoke Land. Nashville Land, Hippy Land, Gothic
L^nd, Hip Hop Und and Rave land, where fodish floating E- Heads
are out to do over Lemitiy You really would have to be on some
sort of drugs to cake him on

As a bonus there are grab a groupie sessions., crash that hotel

room, and sJappmg an
oriental man around
then face with a fish.
You also have to knock
Stonehenge over onto
the hippies before they
float away, updates as
we have them...

Shouldn't it be Lotus 3: The Final

I n the beginning there was Outrun,
and it was feeble. And Magnetic
Fields did look at the Amiga and
think. This computer needs a deceni driving
q,rme.‘ and so they set about creating one
First they created Lotus Esprit Turbo Chal-
lenge, It was a 3D Dchind-thiKar-viewpoinl
game, which featured a Simultaneous split-
screen two-player mode which was great
fun to play.

it also had lots of options, even down to
selecting your in<ar music from a C L, 1 player
screen. Magnetic Fields looked down at
Lotus, and saw that it was good.

Then they created the sequel, and lol It
featured a full-screen one-player mode, a
checkpoint race system instead of the previ
ous circuits, a second type of Lotus cat ro
drive, and even more irxar CD music.

They created it in the image of the first
game, and Magnetic Fields looked down at
Lotus 2, and saw that it was quite good too.

Finally (we hope), in the year of ou- lord
1992, Magnetic Fields looked down on the
world and thought. "Hang on. we could
make a packet doing yet another sequel.'
Thus was born Lotus III: The Ultimate- t'ial-

(enge. And it was OK too.

to what does this have that the previous
two didn't? Well, it combines the best
aspects of both the prequels to produce
what is actually quite a playable driving
game You can decide whether you want to

hurtle around either checkpoint-type races
ot circuits with a varying number of laps,
and also whether you want to race agamst
Bhe dock or against the other computeKan-
trolled cats.

There's also the addition of a track
designer. You can set the perimeters for a
track in the form of percentages, and the
things you can twiddle around with include
the amount of hills and curves, and the race
distance You can design loads of your owe
courses, and they can be either circuits or
checkpoint jobs.

The game is very well presented, with
some stylish graphics and absolutely excel
lent music. The irvcfu CD now offers, among
others, a dancey. ravey. hardcore-ybukoDw
the-score, midnight bealbox ecstasy j-'b, a
reasonably heavy rock affair, and the 2oo
music (7), the last of which is utterly groovy

You II rind everyone around you starts
humming rhe tune when this comes on iat
least they did here in the officel

You can Choose the control system you
want for your car, although I found the
default Fire-button acceleration setup easiest
to tope with.

Select whether you want to dove a Lotus
Esprit, an Elan SE. or an M2 00, each of
which are shown on a trendy rotating fact
screen, which also shows weird little graphs

of acceleration and so on.

you'll eventually get to the game bit. Tne

These stages vary between checkpoint

?: a fairly zippy race, although one amusing

thmg we noticed Is that far some reason, on
some tracks it can look like you're reversing
the car along.

Apart from that slightly strange quirk, the
game looks fairly good, with colourful back-
drops and sprites.

The car is quite responsive and easy to
handle, and with a bit of practice you'll soon
find yourself managing to stay on the road
on those tough icy confers,

One thing that Lotus games nave never
been is rustic Ufiien you hit an obstacle or

another car. you simpfy slow down by
about 1 5 km/h Still, if anything, this adds to
the playability, as you don't find yourself out
of the game just because of one stip-up.

This also produces some excellent two-
pfayer frolics as you fiercely battle to be ihe
fust to the finishing line

VWe Lotus 3 isn't original, and certainty

D aemons-
I gate ii the
delightful
title given to Drcm^

Jin s brand new role-
playing game and!
apparently its
going to be the
largest and most in
depth game of its
genre yet* We shall
see, but first let me
tell you a little story,

Six months ago air
contact was lost with
the ancient kingdom
of Elsopea, riot some-
thing that the rulers
of other kingdom!
were too worried
about because the Elso-
peans were a strange

Strange probably isn t
the word; hut any race
that watches the evening
and Sunday editions of
Eldorado is definitely a bit
honkers For nearly a thou-
sand years, they have Jived a
reclusive existence, rarely com-
ing into contact with their
neighbours.

Suddenly, strange report!
began to filter in from the small
hamlets (now listen up kids, a ham-
let is a small village, especially one
without a church. Oh and its also a
make of well-known cigars sold in most
newsagents.- Educational Edf to the
south of Trunks,

It appeared that a rather large Dae-
monic army fgospf] of unknown origin
(yowsers!) was moving through the
Border Peaks from Elsopea destroying
everything in its path (gasp!}.

Besieged

The armed Force! of Tormis tried to
stop the advance, but to no avail and
the city was soon besieged. Alone and
without any help from their neigh-
bours, the Inhabitants of Tamils had to
sit and wait it out and the Daemonic
hordes were happy to let them sit there
and sweat.

Well, its about this time when some
sort of hero or heroes appear and kkk
the butts of the Daemonic hordes. You
play the part of Captain Gustavos of
the Imperial guard and by the request
of the city council, you have to get a
band of willing mercenaries and find a
way out of the besieged city.

From there you have to find a certain
elderly Elsopean who knows how to
defeat [he Daemonic hordes, give them
a bashing and be home in time for tea-
Easy, innit?

Remember the hordes could attack at
any time and the city s defences cannot
withstand a prolonged assault. The sur-
vival of the kingdoms and the world is
in your hand! and if that isn t dramatic,
1 deni know what is, The game is set

:l v ocntH

upon a world ^
called Hester,
for which a (take
breath

a deep
here if reading out
feud] detailed ratio-
nalised background ^

has been produced
including a fully detailed
hythos |?|, a complex
social structure, realistic ecol-
ogy and logically laid out geo-
graph.

What a mouthful - big words
never impressed anyone especially
when you don t know what the hell
they re going on about,

WelF it was all compiled over six
months and GremJin assure me that it !
going to be one of the most rational
fantasy environments ever created for a
computer game.

As with almost every role-playing

game, the player in Paemonsgate con-
trols a number of characters - in this
case eight - utilising the various skills
and abilities of each team member to
overcome the tasks and problems that
lie in their way.

The game is made up of five major
elements, which consist of rand travel,
town travel, combat, conversation and
magic. In total there are over 100,000
screens of towns and over 5,000 town
inhabitants and this apparently is the

largest map size and non-player charac
ters yet seen in a PPG,

As you can see from the screen
shots, the graphics are top notch ar~
thus it could be Gremlin s Finest release
yet, we shall see. Daemonsgate I -
Dorovans Key will be out m time fc
Christmas and will cost you a pen-
short of £35, but by the looks c
things it II be worth every penny.

Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker,

Now, several months later, Archer plots
to continue his quest for world domination
in the frefd of green tables covered in bails,
with his very own rather sexy pool game
Consequently we find ourselves rrans-
ported to the familiar scene; you know, poof
hall - smoky air, fat bloke with a pint: look-

ing enviously at your jeans, Phil Collins
and the rest of Genesis frying to make a
pop video. ,.

Poof is a game which features baits
being hrt with a stick and bouncing off
one another. The object of the game is to
put some ba ll into little string bags dan-
gling from the corner of a large green table.

That's quite easy. However, it's nor as sim-
ple as that, You can only pov certain Dalis in
a certain order, and that's what people tend
to find difficult about prfaytng pool

Archer's game has an advantage because

to those rembiy obliging people at ICE in

that Ftreforce was originally developed by

But since rhar collapse, ICE stepped m

If you did remember that, and no cheating

floor up your Amiga with Fuefarce disk

you can select an existing Seal or name one

Equip yourself with a few guns, then too-

You have a set amount or rime to com-
plete the mission and arrive at the pneritffer-
mined rendezvous point - the far r^ght of

game was going to be a bit of a treat far
me.

M/hen you first boot up the game the
demp is fantastic, it's some guy on a motor-
bike driving from the background and skid-
ding to a halt in the foreground Crap and
boring, yes, but very well done

Once you've battled your way through
the demo Ft's game time and all you kiddies
have to shake yourselves from your alcohol’
induced haze and think, The program opens
up into a icon menu where you can Lonuoll
all the setting for the game - it s quite exten-
sive. reaily.

Because racing games and simulator* In

Y es, it's another environ menrafly
unsound release from the com-
pany with the big boxes. Psygno-
m. For a two disk game they have enough
packaging to house the entire populous of
Argentina. But less of my whining and on to
the game.

it's a long time srnce we've seen a motor-
bike game on the market. All the program-
mers ran away from them with their rears
on frre after the release of Team Suzuki, the
game so hard they released a training pro-

As addktWt as beafWiS

: in you see at Dunnington - the crowd

I've been avoiding the gamepiay for too
c ng so I'd better let you into a little secret
larceny glance from side to side) - it's crap.

Yep, Its bloody awful You have to do a
; ,ali lying round to get rnto the race - fine.
; . here f am, coffee and crisps in front of
trusty Amiga, on the grid with my pulsat-
-g sex machine, and my motorbike, the

lights go to green and we're off. The feeling
you get when dying to drive the machine
can only be compared to drinking 1 5 pints
of Special Brew then proceeding to unicycle
on the inside of a spin dryer with a bent
drum. Very tncky indeedy.

So I thought, that’s fair enough I just

Not so Easy Rider

can't play it very well yet so off I went, ham-
mering away, and things didn i get any
better

When you do really go for a burton and
stuff you bike into one of the wails, some-
times you can't turn around again, or if you
can it takes ages and you have to use the
cursor keys on the keyboard io flip around.

I actually timed it once - it took over a
minute to turn arajnd and get going again
So l eventually persevered and got round

the track jn about five minutes and it says

PSYGNOSIS ■ £25.99 - 1/2 meg ■ Keyboard,
mouse or joystick * Out now

Racing with the other btk.es was a hit
mickey mouse because the screen updates
are so bad you only see them for about two
frames before they steam off into the dis-
tance, Meanwhile you ate trying to turn
around after inserting your cranium into the
crash barrier.

The rival bikes aren't particularly detailed,
which is a bit a let down - they took sort of
like the Iron bikes only not as welt drawn.

Earlier in this review I was going on
about screen updates, and how the
, 1 A/niga ij usually crap at them. Well this
1 game is no exception - one minute you
are in the middle of the mad. the next you
are wrapped round a crash barrier with a
7S0cc bike up your body. The whole point
of getting rid of excess detail is K> speed
up the gamepiay, but the change is
practically unnotic table

Mig 29M Superfufcrum v F T 9 Stealth Fighter
DOMARK i £34,99 ■ 1/2 meg
■ Keyboard/joystick/mouse ■ Out now

S omeone once said that vari-
ety Is the spice of life.
Oovnark obviously don t
realise this, and have come up with a
terrific ally varied "double hill pack
age, featuring, of all things, two
flight rims.

Ha nr? on a minute, though. Do mark
have only ever written Mig Z9M and
the sequel Mig 29M SuperfuFcrum, so
how can they do a double bill pack-
age? By using a Micro pro-ie flight sim,
that's how,

And so we find FI 9 Stealth Fighter
nestling, somewhat shamefacedly, in
a rather large ho* with Mig 29M
Superfulcrum. There are three disks, a

r&uf Mig cmI hed- Your* dead. Again. This
fi becoming a bad habit

couple of manuals and a few poster-
type mini-maps Included in the pack-
age. Mig 29M Superfulcrum is a rea-
sonable but unspectacular flight sim.
and the first thing you notice about it

are the somewhat bland and borinc
graphics. There's no attempt at
adding depth, and things sort of poc
Into existence.

You ll be flying along, merrily mine
ing your own business, when sue
denly, pop!, a mountain's appeared
3 DP feet below you. Still, at least its
not Jerk city Arizona, with the screen
update being smooth enough to pass

Similar things can be said for the
sound, which* during the game, is
pretty rare to say the least. Still
never mind. The gameplay is what
counts, after ail.

The plane handles quite well o m
mouse control although I found ih#
joystick system a bit unre
sporttlvt* As always witr-
flight sims, there are Jo ads c
keyboard controls which you
have to use, so you II fine
yourself leaning over the key
board on a regular basis.

There's a comprehensive 50
odd page manual for SuperfuF
crum, which describes ah
there Is to know about pilot
ing your plane and flying the
missions. If you can be both
ered to read it you ll probata
find loti of useful stuff i*
there.

When you figure out how ts
take off, you'll have a few hour* fust
frying to destroy the enemy bast
while not being shot down. That s *
bit of ai challenge, since ihe enemy
planes tend to get behind you, Art

I

November 1

lefare you know what s happening
, du ll be gaiing at a picture of a
Mishin;] plane and listening to the
-armonica-style Voti're dead music.

Anyway, Superfukrum s all right,
sut the main reason most people will
lake interest in Head to Head is the
ntlusion of FI 9 Stealth Fighter. Its
vastly superior to it* chum, and is far
more varied.

You can fly missions In various the-
4tr«~ of war ranging from the Middle
East (that old favourite) to the former
Soviet Union and Eastern Bloch coun-
tries. Your missions sometimes even
begin from aircraft carriers.

So, you flick hastily through the
slightly slender technical supplement
(supplement to what? out copy didn't
appear to have a manual for Fid,
something that was sorely missed)
and eventually manage to get you
‘ighter airborne.

The easiest thing to do then Is to
press the autopilot, sit bach, maybe
go and make a cup of tea, invite a
friend over for a coffee morning, go
to Tescos and do the shopping, get
home, mahe the tea, settle down to a
quiet evening with your family, and
then maybe the oem morning, go and
Chech on the computer.

By then you might have reached
your target, particularly if you put It
into the not-desperately-fast acceler-
ated time mode. When you get near
your target, you knoch off the autopi-
lot, swoop around a bit, and occasion-
ally try to launch a missile or some-
thing at your foe.

Actually, I have to admit to being
completely hopeless at this stage,
spending hours looping happily
around trying to fire at Chat damned
enemy missile boat. 1 didn't realise at
the time that I was only supposed to

photograph It. The graphics are vastly
superior to those in Juperfulcrum,
being not only more colourful,
but also portraying depth. And some-
how FI 9 still moves faster than Its
chum.

It's the same old story with the
sound though. It surely wouldn't be
hard to add a couple of extra effects.
There* loti of depth to both games,
especially the latter. Neither are too

complicated, and so you wont get too
bogged down in technical details like;
"Hey, air control, fve got a turkey at
five o'clock, i want to launch an
5RM44/93RM with all haste.

Tve engaged manual override and
turned on the auto-search system, but
I can't for the life of me figure out
how f Invert the polarities on the anti-
static transmitter coil of the pro-
grammable thrust system.

"00 I switch to tracking mode, or
should I lock on to my target with the
built-in HUD projection system?

For your money you get a good sim
and an OK sim, In fact. If you've not
got a decent flight sim in your collec-
tion, [ suppose you could do a lot
worse than take a look at this.

One thing that the English seem to he vaguely good
at is motor racing. This year old Mansell won the
World Championships - about time too is all I can say.

To commemorate this momentous occasion. Gremlin
are about to release the game of Nigel Mansell, and
would you believe it, it's a driving game. Now theres a
surprise, eh?

itk an actual racetrack game, which is something we
haven't seen in a while. Its all racing through deserts
and the like nowadays, hut 1 still remember Pole Posi-
tion - no-one else does.

Since the release of the motorbike driving game
Team Suzuki, which was deemed the most ridiculously
impossible game in the worid, people have started
putting trainers in their programs.

This is the first fully functional one that I ve come
across. It has a sort of advice service that takes you
around the various tracks - handy, huh?

It's got all the usual stuff you see on racing games
such as gearbox options for the girlies who want an
automatic. You will also be able to tune the car more
to your needs.

Well, the sources say that this is going to be the
closest thing to driving a Formula One car, bar actu-
ally driving one, I suppose.

We reckoned that the handiest bit of the game was
the fine tuning of the car which allows you to add
aerofoils or spoilers and other little bits and pieces.
And you’ll have to wait a mere few weeks, until the
end of November, to get your clammy paws on a copy.

A beastie's back door

Hero Quest II is another vastly humor
gous adventure game from those lovef
Gremlin people. The follow up to, w a
for it. Hero Quest, this is bigger than a
very big thing. Comprising ten differer
scenarios, it should keep the adventure
gamey people happy for a long while.

The nicest part were the interactive
characters, who have the ultimate airr
of either distracting you or helping yo»
in your quest.

Unlike some of the recent adventur-
games, you are not just confined to f
dungeon (who said Lure of the
Temptress?) as there are forest, and
things like that to get thoroughly lor
and frustrated in.

There's all the normal cobblers you ge
in adventure games, like character, das:
and the like, and it's out in November
so you'll have to wait a little bit longer.

FlKlruUiif Taels about tlw origins of Liverpool FC
You iNm something new ewry day

A rguably one of the most suc-
cessful teams of ail time nave
made it to your Amiga courtesy
of Grandslam. Liverpool 1 FC: The Computer
Gar™ stars alf the Anfield bfoJces in a totter
game That GrandsFam think. w?ll nva! the suc-
cess of Kick Off 2 .

Actually, when you dunk about it. Grand
sfam Is an interesting name, when you con-
sider that for the rest of this review 1. 1 bo
S4ammrng chetr rather poor effort,

T?re game loads to the accompaniment of
a remixed version of You'll Never Walk
Alone; the song that's become synonymous
with Liverpool FC Unfortunately, G/andslam
have slaughtered the tune to a point where
it's not particularly recognisable. While this is

piayng in the barkground, you're treated -
or should that be subjected - to a brref|ishj
history of the dub, with iittfe drgitised pic-
tures of atl the current players underneath.

Lrverpock fans shoufd like this bit the Erst
time they see it. but for the Test of the wodd
at large, and for people who've already seen
it, it's a shame you can't skip it,

After extensive intro pictures of FA Cups
and suchlike, you eventually get to the main
menu screen. From here you can choose
whether to compete m an FA Cup competi
tion or a fulf League Season, and you can
choose a twe^pteyer FA Cup final
You can also change your squad about,
although gf course you can oniy choose
from Liverpool players.

When you've twiddled
around with the options you
can start a practice session
of play a proper match.
Practice is definitely recom-
mended, since the control
system takes a bit of getting
used to

The pitch is viewed From
an angle not unlike Rage's
Striker, with one player

heading up and Into' the screen, and the
other commg down and 'out or it. The
player currently selected is marked by a four
pulsing arrows around his feet, and you
move him around with your joystick
The fire button kicks the hail although
not as in KOI There's no way to control
how hard you'll hit the ball the player just
belts it as far as he can.

This means youTI find yourself running
up the pitch with the ball at your feet jit's a
sticky-feet control method^ and shooting,
because stringing together several passes is
completely impossFble. It's a very awkward
passing system - so impractical that you'll
give up trying

The computer teams are quite good, and
you'll find that before long they've scored
against you. When the half crosses the Ire.
the view instantly flicks back to toe centre
circle before you know what's happened,
and it's a bit confusing to say toe least
The graphics look OK when the game is
paused, but as soon as you see It in action
you'll reconsider There are precious few
frames of am matron for tne players and the
game really looks a bit tacky
The bait responds so completely unreaiis-

So H i the C#nieFMitl*e party we've g ol to thjink lor
Liverpool FC: The Compiler Game

tically that you'll laugh,,, it shoots along *-
200mph and then stops almost instantly. It .
as if the pitch is covered in honey o r
somethrng

So what is there that's good about Live
poof FC: The Computer Game? Erm, its
endorsed by Liverpool FC, 'which will mean
it's bound to self a fair few no matter how
bad it is. And the presentation screens loo*
ati right.

But that's about it I’m afraid. From the
moment you start playing and think This n
all right" to the moment a few minutes late-
when you think r Blimey, this game's been
Ixmged together in a few weeks to cash n
on a good licence, when in fact it's com-
plete trips. ' it's all gradually downhill.

The simple fact is. that no matter who
you support, you have to admit that Lrve r
pool are quite a good learn. And the qrhe^
simple fact is that even if you support Liver-
pool. you'd have to have a pit of a mental
disorder to fork out for this.

Very spooky indeed...

Very, very spooky actually. James Crompton of Oxon
claims to have found some extra levels on Lemmings. It
ail sounds a bit strange to us, but give it a go. What
have you got to lose? Here's what you do,.,

Type in "LEMNGFINAL" as the password, then enter
"IAMNOTGOOD Now you can skip levels with the
spacebar. Skip the last level, and the 30 identical levels
that follow it. They re rated "blue apparently.

Then skip the ten "playerh"*rated levels and you
should find 20 completely new levels. James says that

# they're fairly easy, but it must be
worth having a look.

ON Oooooeeeeeoooooo.

Startlingly crispy

Are you having trouble getting to
the fa ter levels of Ocean's cheesy
snack-related puzzle game.
Pushover? Well, we don't blame
you. It is a bit tricky, isn't it?

One person who didn t have any

problems is Paul Chapman fre
Hartlepool. He's sent us the le>
codes for the first 100 levels. At
being generally nice people, he
they are. Just for you. Becau
you're special. Yes you are.

Magnum fans strike back

W hyl Why do Ch^y do it? Why
does everyl»dy who creates
Uneasy art, especially mate
rial far Dungeons and Dragons, always
draw half- naked women with there breasts
heaving over top of their bras? I pkk up
the box of chis game and what do * see? A
picture of d half-naked women with heaving
breasts

In the early 70s, when people's ctothes
started to get really silly rind the drugs
started to get more ridiculous, two hippies
came up with die concept of Dungeons and
Dragons. Thus the board game equivalent
of the Anorak was born.

Basically D+D comes down to railing lots
of funny shaped diet and having a really
stupad name fike Aaron the Warlock, so you

Sidney, I twifr a
strange en-tn weemg in
su i garden

haven't missed anything is you
haven't played rt.

Now D+D has come to the
Amiga - wahey kids - and
It's breeding and multiply-
ing, but don't worry - it
isn't dial bad The game
has been planned quite
well, but nothing new
has been explored.

Graphically it's fKW'i
to shout about - It's ail
Very functional until you
interact with other charac-
ters. The other characters
yau talk to In the game are
well detailed Out sadly Inani-
mate. The way you contra! your

characters -is very similar to most
of the adventure games of
this ilk Basically you
move them with the
mouse, clicking the
character first then the
area you want to
move to. Boring, Out
it works.

Get the best from the
Amiga's 8-bit internal
sound. Paul Austin has some
salient hints and tips

L ast time we started looking at ARexx, not
only a macro or command language,
but also as a full programming language in
Its own right We saw that the minimum require-
ment for a system-specific programming language
is the ability to manipulate blocks of memory corre-
sponding to the system structures.

It must be able to read the contents of specified
structures, and to pass them as arguments (param-
eters) to functions which can do something useful
with them.

Further, the language must be able to reserve
blocks of memory and write to them when It cre-
ates new structures in its own pr agrams.

We have already seen the built-in Mexx instruc-
tions for manipulating memory (IMPORT, EXPORT
and so on), and we have mentioned that ottier
ARexx support libraries also allow this ability.

This time we will look at some of the functions
of a special ARexx library called rexxsupport .library
which is supplied as part of ARexx, and which you
will find in the Workbench 2.0 libs/drawer.

In addition to the memory manipulation func-
tions (and some other useful uLilily functions), this
library allows you 10 create custom ARexx ports in
your own programs.

Using this lea lure you are no longer limited
merely to sending messages to other ARexx-com-
palible progtams - you can create programs that
receive ARexx messages too.

Mixture

This mixture of abilities - interprocess messages,
memory addressing, AmigaDOS interaction, as well
as the regular ARexx parsing and command
instructions - is what make the ARexx program-
ming environment so powerful. Over the next few
columns we are going to write an ARexx program
that will use and illustrate all of them.

Our program will be a "Preferences" controller
which runs in the background and allows you to
change any ol the standard settings by sending
Aflexx commands to them. That is, you will not
have to load up your Preferences program and
make the selection manually. You will be able to

If you've recently written an ARexx
masterpiece and want the world to
know about it, send it in to AC
Continuing lo support ARexx is a high
priority and as a result we are opening
the AC ARexx Library.

This new source of ARexx software
will be redistributed free of charge on
the AC CoverDisk every month.

ARexx explosion, send your scripts and
additional programs tor AC Affexx

Alex Gian continues his
look at ARexx
programming with a
guide around the
rexxsupport library

send a message to it from your Shell, or from
another ARexx program. This could be useful,, for
example, if you are doing a batch of printing and
want Id change the printer settings for each indi-
vidual print!

Our program will also allow control of other
printer features, not accessible from Preferences,
like pitch, size, style, quality and so on.

We will also write a simple program to control
our main program from an Intuition interface,
instantly making any changes we want at the dick
of a mouse.

These programs will illustrate the basic princi-
ples, and encourage you to implement ideas of
your own. The main intent is to show haw ARexx
can be used to write useful programs quickly and
efficiently in the standard Amiga environment.

Obviously this cannot be a tutorial an general
programming, but it will be kept simple, and any-
one with a bit of programming know-how and the
willingness to experiment should have no trouble
following it.

The full listings will appear on the CoverDisk
from the next issue, with the tricky bits explained
in this section.

Handling funtions

Before we can use the functions for creating
aur own ARexx ports, it is useful to have some
idea of how they are handled by the Amiga's
operating system. Ports - and ail multitasking
activity - are handled by the part of the operat-
ing system called the Exec.

The Exec is the most important part of the
Amiga's operating system. In the simplest terms
it can be thought of as a very fast loop that allo-
cates the central processor's time between all the
different tasks that are running..

The Exec also manages the Amiga's memory
pool, allocating and freeing blocks of memory
according to need, and controls all the low level
signals.

Now the Exec library provides a function
called Wait{) which, when called by any pro-
gram, puts that program "to sleep 11 - The pro-
gram is still operative, but draws only a minimal
amount of the system resources.

When the program receives some special sig-
nal it "wakes up* and carries on doing whatever
task it is meant to be doing - an ARexx message
can be one of these special signals. This sig-
nalling system is the heart of the Amiga’s multi-
tasking efficiency.

The rexxsupport.library allows the user set up
ports and receive ARexx messages without get-

grams and how their in E efface <. enhance their overall peffoimince.

II you would like to lei the ARexx Interrace of a particular program
featured in dine pages, please lei us know, We kick oil with a look a I
Hyper book.

Hyper book is a package I ha I allows the user to present inform.] Mon,
text ..irui graphic* in a sensibly interconnected manner, it allows for
the easy creation ol buttons, requesters etc, which perform actions
when clicked

In this way if is art extension ol [he hypertext idea, where you click
on a highlighted word and get a loi more information on it

Any object lhal can be displayed wilh Hyper book, including pic-
lures and graphics, can be activated to lead on lo further information.

Hyper book is quite popular because Of Ms extreme ease of use, and
ils price (about H(j if you shop around). IE lias been used to write edu
cation a I soli ware, arid quite a lew disk magazines.

It can lie used successfully as a presentation package without its
ARexx interface. However, if it is used with ARexx, its power is multi
plied many limes.

firslly, whole sequences of actions {in ihe form nf ARexx scripts)
t-m be programmed, ralliqr than just simple one-step instructions.
Secondly, ARexx can be used for calculating purposes where necessary.

Finally, most of the eflects that can be created in Hyperhook by
using ihe mouse have corresponding ARexx functions. Unfortunately,

ihe graphics primitives and ihe text cdour are not yet untie r ARexx
control,

ARexx provides Hyper book wilh a scripting language which if
would no! otherwise have. The converse of lliFi h that Hyperbook can
become a graphical front end fur ARexx.

This goes quite a way beyond the requirements ol a presentation
package in fact, Hyperbook becomes a simple design prototyping
environment. Here is an example you could use ARexx to read in the
contents of a directory, and sor! it by sue,

This could be presented on the screen as a bar graph. You could
use the parsing abilities of ARexx to determine the lype of each file
[Ascii, executable, IFF pic or sound file etc).

Clicking on the image of each file could then have some suitable
result. Pictures .md Lex I flies could hr displayed, ami sound lilts could
be sent to a sound- player in Ihe background (Hyperbook does. nnE
have built-in Support for sound).

Using features like these, even a programmer wilh moderate expe-
rience ran design very attractive ami practical programs in 4 short
peflod oF time.

Finally, ! should mention that Hyperbook appears to have a lew
minor bugs under Workbench 2.0. They are not serious, hui the pro
gram will occasionally crash il you press the "wrong" button.

This could upset a novice user, hut i hope that we wiil see an even
better release of Hyperbook in the near future.

ting involved in the intricacies of Exec. Another
example of port use are the IDCMP ports
(Intuition Direct Communication Message Ports)
used by the system to communicate things like
mouse-clicks, gadget selections aod keyboard
input.

We mention them here because many ARexx
libraries that support Intuition convert IDCMP
messages into ARexx strings so that they can be
handled more easily.

The following is the procedure for using an
Amiga port. In general if holds for all ports, not
just ARexx ones, so if you plan to do any serious
Amiga programming you will come across it
often.

1 . Open a port

2. DO Loop start

3. Wait lor a message

4. Receive a message

5. Check the message

6. Copy the message

7. Reply to message
S. Act on message

9. DO loop end

10. Close port

First of all we must have an open port for our
messages - we then enter a loop where the pro-
gram "sleeps" until a message arrives at the
port,

If more than one messages arrive, they will he
queued, and processed successively. We then
check that the message is relevant to us. If the

message is relevant, we copy it to 4 variable, and
"reply" to it. This part is very important. We
have to reply to the message as soon as possible
- even before we have actually processed it - in
order to free up the resources of the Exec, which
will be waiting for a reply.

If we do not reply to the message, we set up
what is known as a "busy-waiting" loop. This is
one of the worst mistakes you can make - the
operating system will suspend all multitasking
until a reply to the message is received!

Vou should also note that once you have
replied to a message, it is lost, and that is why
we copy it to a variable,

After we have replied to the message we can
process its contents and take whatever action is
relevant. We then go back to the start of the
loop and wait for any other messages.

The example below shows bow ihese princi-
ples are applied specifically to- ARexx. There are a
couple of things to note:

1 * The function GETP&TO returns the message
packet waiting at. the port, or a four byte NULL
value if there is no packet. In the second case the
next line just goes back to the beginning of the
loop- This is a necessary lest, but we won't go
into the details of why,

2, Messages arriving at an ARexx port arrive in
the form of an ARexx packet, which contains the
ARexx message plus some extra information.

The Function GET ARC () retrieves the actual
message From the packet. It aliso has more

advanced uses for extracting multiple arguments
from functions, but these will not concern us
here either,

3 * The REPLYQ Function has two arguments. The
second one is the return code. If nothing unto-
ward has happened, si is set to 0. If some error
had occurred, it could have been set to some-
thing else. Ail the rest is pretty straightforward:

Copy the above example and save it as
simpleport.rexK. Then open two Shell windows,
and run rx simpleport in one of them. Go to the
other one and type rx 'ADDRESS MYPORT
GREET', You can exit from the first Shell 8 by typ-
ing rx 'ADDRESS MYPGftT RYE' at the second
Shell

Even if you have no experience with ARexx,
you will soon get the idea., Study and experi-
ment with the above example - we will use it in
our Preferences control program next Lime.

I f you were wise enough to invest in test
month's issue of AC you cin r t fail to have
noticed our feature on the Amiga's first direct
to disk recording system, namely the AD1Q12
from $unH&ze Indust nes.

Although most definitely an audio rather than a
video release, the connection between this new
board and Hie wadd of DTV is a strong one which
is personified by the board's 12-bit architecture
and alliance to SMPTE timecode as its primary
means of communication with the real world.

As I'm sure you're aware, 16 rather than 12-bt
sound is the CD standard which the music industry
relies on, and the board's mono only output also
points to its videographic place in market. An
audio product it may be, but it’s the world of
video where the board will make its mark..

For the professional user, SMPTE compatibility is
on hand, but tor the financial mortals, Sun Size
have also added a direct connection to Bars k
Pipes Professional, the power sequencing package
from Blue Ribbon Sound works.

The aforementioned software is the only pro-
gram which has direct access to the board arid its
impressive sampling and sample sequencing abili-
ties, The combination of Studiolfi - ADI 01 2^
own software - and Bars k Pipes Professional is
achieved by syncing the two via Studio Id's own
built-in SMPTE generator which supplies the nec-
essary reference to combine the two packages.

Once joined, the union can achieve a combina-
tion of Midi music and digital audio that would be
impossible using conventional analogue tech-
niques. Whether used to add simple sound effects
or entire voice-overs, the subsequent soundtrack
can be amazing.

Advised

Obvious^ to really get the best from the combi-
nation of the two systems, SMPT E -compatible
hardware in the form ot SMPTE-rompatible VCRs
is well advised, but not necessarily essential.

As mentioned above, the Studio! 6 software
generates its own SMFTE timecode which can be
employed within the software's ir cuelist" to syn-
chronise an unlimited number of samples into a
complete soundtrack.

If the necessary timecode is provided externally
via a pre-sthped videotape, complete frame- accu-

rate coding of video and audio events is possible,
instantly transforming your formerly amateur
audio/video efforts into frame-accurate professional
productions.

If your system is based around VTTC rather than
SMPTE timecode all is not lost as the same synchro-
nisation can be achieved. In such a case, a VI TC to
SMPTE translator would be required In order to
allow synchronisation with the ADI 01 2,

Once the supplied tools and accessories are
copied into the Bars k Pipes Professional toolbox
and accessories draws respectively and the Bars k
Pipes quit module is added to the Studol6 runtime
drawer, you're ready to put their combined power
into action.

The first task before any combination can take
place is to load the SurtMPTE accessory which will
actually lock Bars k Pipes Professional to erther the
SMPTE timecode corning into the ooard or alterna-
tively to the internally-generated timecode provided
by Studious SMPTE generator. A second accessory,

namely SunSet can also be loaded and allows any of
the modules within StudiolG to appear within the
Bars k Pipes Professional screen. Once active, the
Instance window from Studio 16 will appear gwing
instant access bo all of the program's sample record-
ing, editing, and sequencing abilities.

Virtual track

The final option if entitled the Sunftize Virtual
Track. Unlike the Sunfiize Out tool, this option is
meant for large samples such as vocal tracks, guitar
solos, and so on. It allows you to play a sample syrv
chromised directly with other Bars k Pipes
Professional tracks, in effect providing a virtual track
- hence the title.

To ensure perfect synchronisation, the sample is
only recorded or played back at the beginning of a
measure, in a similar way that Midi recording initi-
ates at a specific measure.

As is the case with normal samples, up to four vir-
tual tracks can be added, all of which are treated as
Independent tracks within the sequence.

Re-recording over a track simply overwrites the
original contents. Unfortunately the present version
will only record an entire sample at a time so no
matter where you start recording it will be treated as
if you had started from the beginning.

Alas it appears we may have to wait a while for a
digital dub, Still, even with this slight inconvenience
the ADI 01 2 , Sludiol 6 and Bars £j Pipes Professional
combination offers a remartable amount oi power
for a system which retails under 140Q.

As new and improved tools and videographic
enhancements appear tor the SunRize series of
direcUto-disk systems and indeed any other such
products, rest assured that AC will bring you the
essential information first.

Soundtrack sampling

The first tool in the selection provides the feature which is sure to be the videophile's favourite.
5unRi/n Out allows the user io tram! or m Midi note events into sample play commands which then
instruct l he AD 101 2 la play specific samples.

In short it provides a perfect method of producing ha me accurate sound effects, All such effects
have I hr added bonus ol being allowed to play to their entire length or alternatively to be heard until
note ort Information is received by the sequencer.

You can select any sample already within the Sample list or alternatively use the load op iron to
employ a pre- recorded sample from disk,

it's even possible to record the sample directly with all the usual I i lie ring and sample rate controls
on hand, and of course all recorded samples can be saved out and are assigned to their specific notes
automatically. And if you don't like what you hear you can erase the sample, instantly deleting the
data from the disk.

PROGRAMMING

T he picture on an Amiga screen can be in
three independent layers, with the back-
ground and midground as two separate
olayfields, The foreground is made up of sprite* -
small graphic element 16 pixels wide, two bit*
planes deep, adKJ any height.

It is possible to open an Intuition Screen and
Window, and then sneak a second playfield into
the display, Before opening the Screen,, the
ns_ViewModes flag in the NewScreen structure
must include the DUALPF hag. The Pf BA flag can
be either set or clear, depending whether the first
or second placid has precedence.

Once the Screen is opened, there is a pointer to
the Screen's Viewport structure available to the pro-
gram mer, The ViewPort has a Rasfnfo structure
containing a pointer to the Bit Map with the
BitPlane information.

If the Viewport has dual playfiefds, the first
ftaslnfo contains a pointer to the next Ka.dnfo,
which has a pointer to the second BitMap. In the
example program an extra Has Info structure is
declared for the second playfiekl,

A pointer variable, *lastRaslnfo, is declared to
store any pointer contained In the current Raslnfo
for the Window, to be restored before the Screen is
dosed.

the Screen is opened in the usual way, the back
ground BilMap structure attached to the Window,
and the Window opened. The ViewPort address ol
the Window is determined.

The second Kastnfo structure h initialised with
the mid ground BitMap - all its other structure
members will be zero as there are no scroll offsets,

Demos on the disk

The demo program on the Cover Disk con-
tains two source modules, c sprite. c and iff-
read.c, which can be compiled and linked
together in the normal way,

Iffread.c Is the general purpose picture file
reader, and csprite.c is the calling program,
csprite.c includes a header file c sprite, ft con-
taining sprite data.

The object module, ciprfte, opens a
Screen, and a Window in that Screen. The
ILflM picture files, with the filenames speci-
fied in the calling program, are opened and
the picture data read into the appropriate
Bit Planes.

The tiles are dosed, and control goes back
to the main program. The pictures from the
IFF files are displayed as two separate play-
fields. Seven sprites are allocated to
SimpIeSprrte structures, Each sprite is moved
to Its place in a horizontal line up, using the
sprite data defined sn the header file
*esprlte.h".

The picture is displayed on the Screen
until the user doses the Window, or clicks a
mouse button. The sprites are freed, the
Window and Screen dosed, and the program
exits,

Margaret Stanger looks at sprite handling when
Intuition Screens and Windows are being used

and it is the last Raslnfo on the fist. The first
RasInfo.Next pointer is altered Id point to the sec-
ond Raslnfb structure, and the display remade.

Each sprite has a data lift of dal a word pairs, The
first two words of each sprite's data are control
words to initialise the sprite.

Bits 1 5 to 8 of the first control word contain the
vertical position of the first line of the sprite, hits 7 to
0 contain the sprite's horizontal start position.

Bits 1 5 to 8 of the second control word contain
the line after the tail vertical line of the sprite. Bits 2
to of the second control word contain the most
significant bits, of the first line, last line and horizon-
tal position respectively.

i i'e last two data words always contain zero. The
intervening data words contain the pixel data. The
first two sprites use colours 16 to 19, the next two
IQ to 23, the next two 24 to 27 and the Iasi two 28
to 31.

The first colour of a sprite is always transparent. A
pixel will be the second colour if a bit e set in the
First pixel data word, and the corresponding bit in
the second pixel data word is clear; the third colour
if the bit is clear in the first pixel data word and set
in the second; and the fourth colour if both farts are
set.

The Amiga library routines use a SimpleSprHe
structure that holds data for each sprite, containing
the height, horizontal and vertical co-ordinates,
sprite number and a pointer to i-ts pixel data. The
pixel data must be in chip memory.

stage. II the routine is unsuccessful, a spnteno of -1
returned.

FreeSprite(spfiteno), where spnteno is the number
of the sprite.

ViewPort is the address of the relevant Vaewfort,
SimpleSpnte a pointer to the simple sprite structure
and spritedata is a pointer to the pixel data in chip

This routine updates the SimpleSprite structure
with the new data pointer, updates the sprite data
with the start and finish positions from the
SimpleSpnte structure, and updates the sprite cop-
per list with the new information.

The programmer can set up a SimpleSpnte struc-
ture for a sprite, and the library routines utilise this
structure, handle the sprite copper list for the
Viewport, and also update the appropriate words of
the sprite pixel data with the position and height.

The GetSpriteQ routine can be used to entice one

ViewPort is the address of the relevant ViewPort,

with the new start and finish positions, and updates
the sprite copper Bit with the new information.

A lthough the Amiga's existing sampling
skills easily outstrip the apposition as far
as internally generated computer sound
is concerned they nevertheless leave a lot to be
desired in comparison to professional studio quails
ity sampling equipment

Having said that, for those of us on a budget
the 8-bit stop gap offered by the Amiga tan pro-
vide a perfect note pad for experiments that can
then be expanded within the 16 -bit environment
of the studio.

In addition, the rave scene isn't averse to sacri-
ficing a little sound quality an occasion and as a
result many a repetitive hook in among the Italian
piano and pumping bass has made its first steps
onto vinyl via the Amiga's humble sound chip.

Because of the mac hinrt built-in ability to play-
up to four 8 -bit samples simultaneously, all the
major Amiga sequencing packages can take
advantage of this option while dealing with Midi
information for external hardware.

If you've spent any time at all browsing
through the vast array of Amiga magazines,
you've probably noticed it's impossible to turn
more than a tew pages without being assaulted
by an increasingly garish array of ads screaming
the praises of an endless collection of
sampler/software combinations.

Although there are a few good cheap and
cheerful units on the market, it's worth investing
those extra few pounds on quality kit. At the fore-
front of Amiga sampling are two units which have
been adopted by almost all the leading Amiga

Paul Austin explains how

Amiga's internal sound
and looks ahead to the
musical Amigas of the
future.,.

rnusos. The first, most expensive, and
arguably the best of these is Ram Scan's
Audio Engineer. This particular unit
offers unbelievable quality, consider-
ing its 8-bit design, allowing full
stereo sampling which benefits
from the best filter and anti-alias-
ing circuitry around.

Unbeatable

When combined with its twin DACs, this gives
it unbeatable sound quality which easily rivals
many 1 2-bit and even a tew 1 6-bit samplers.

As is the casE wiLh all quality samplers, editing
software tomes as part of the package - as you'd
expect from a unit costing £199. The software in
question is one of the top two packages on the
market and although labelled Audio Engineer is in
reality AudioMaster 3.

This is a package which lias
only recently been challenged

- and some would say beaten

Amlin Engineer

Master is the only unit capable of challenging
Audio Engineer. Although it doesn't offer the same
degree of conLrol available via its competitor, it
does produce equally impressive results, and like
ifs counterpart comes with Audio Master 3 as part
of the £129 package.

Waveform tuning

Once equipped with a sampler, the next task is
to master the art of getting the best from the avail-
able eight bits, lo do this a quality sound source is
essential but in addition it's worth becoming famil-
iar with the accompanying software.

Both samplers and either of the two sampling
software packages will sample right up to 57 kHz, II
you have the necessary RAM, always push ihe ini-
tial sampling rate to the maximum and then
employ the software's waveform tuning to re- sam-
ple the sound to the desired pitch. That way you'll
always get the vEry best from the sound, sampler
and software combination.

Music of the future

According to an anonymous source, the rumoured specifications of a
new generation of Amigas appear to have hit the mark. The two new
machines take the form, of an A4GOO 040-ba^d machine and a 16MHz
03Q -based A 1000 Classic which could also appear as the A8O0. Both
machines will boas! the new AA chipset with 2.1 ROMs.

The A400G variant will come as Standard with 16Mb of fast Ram and
4Mb of chip memory expandable to 64Mb and 16Mb respectively. The
chip memory is of special import a nee if Commodore continue their
approach of holding all sample data within the machine s chip memory.

The A 1000 Classic/ ABOO comes in what's been described as a Pizza-
style slimline case offering expandability up to 4Mb of chip memory and
16Mb of RAM. Both machines will also bodst a true full speed double

density floppy. For we musos the most interesting aspect of the upgrade
is the new machine's awesome musical potential, with full 16 bit four^
channel sound at an amazing 56toHz, In short, instant CD quality sam-
pling plus twin built-in Midi ports as standard

There's even provision for an accompanying microphone to plug
directly into the built in digitiser, allowing direct H- bit 28MHz sampling.

Another pleasant feature is that the machines won't just be limited to
1 6 bit resolution - emulation has been added to enable eight 8 bit chan
nels to operate at £6kHz and up to 16 S- bit channels at a very
respectable 28kHz.

Our unnamed source is already in the process of Beta testing both
products so there's no reason why at least one of the machines shouldn't
be released In the Autumn. It looks likely that the 030 based machine will
be the first to greet the light of day with the A40UQ making its debut in
the spring of next year.

Feeding the habit

m a » he n you call a bulletin beard you
may find yourself spending quire a
■ ■ lot Of time on the phone simply
wading through information screens,, menus and
so on,

This is in addition to finding the message area
you want and the hme taken to actually read and
reply to messages. If you only call a board once a
week or so this is fine, but if the addiction grips
you'll want to call almost every day to see what's
new. At this stage it makes sense to spend as little
time actually on the board as possible.

In order to achieve this, many boards offer one
or more methods of grabbing the messages you
want to read and allowing you to download
them to study offline.

Sometimes this will simply be a menu option
which bundles all new messages in your chosen
area, or it might be a "door", A door is another
program which is run by the BBS. For the Amiga
user the current choree is between Silver Express
and Blue Wave. Ask your local sysop For details of
these.

tF the board, carries either ol these doors, the
board's hie areas will almost certainly carry some
shareware programs to allow you to read and
reply to messages offline.

Timetable

Another, and even more efficient,, method of
reading offline is to become a point. What this
effectively does is set you up as a little private bul-
letin board on your own machine. Instead ol
other users ringing you, your timetable dictates
when you will call the main hoard, just as it does
with casual use.

The big advantage is that when you log on to
a board as a point you never go into the main
area ol the board, so save time and typing. As a
point logs on, all new messages from previously
chosen echoes are waiting, ready archived For
download.

Also, any replies you have prepared offline are
sitting waiting on your machine for upload to the

We're not suggesting you turn to crime to pay for your
BBS addiction. Pat Winstanley looks instead at some
ingenious software which will help you to cut costs

board. This swapping o< compressed data is
unlikely to take more than a few minutes, even if,
like me, you are hooked into a dozen or mare dif-
ferent echoes.

Various software packages are available for
point work. Basically you need two different pro-
grams - one to act as a terminal whkh dials into
the board, sends your messages up; and recedes
new ones back, and a reader/writer which accepts
the newly downloaded compressed files, uncom-
presses them, and sorts them into the various
areas or echoes where they belong,

Reply

For replying you'll also need some sort of teat
editor, but even the humble Jl e<T From the
Workbench disk will do the job.

Another great advantage of being a point is the
ability to send messages to other BBSs - for the
cost of a local call - and request the distant boards
to send you files for download. This is the reason
for messages you; may meet on the lines of "Yes, I
have the like you're looking for, just treq it Irom
my board."

Not all sysops allow this, but many do, and
information about the location of various obscure
- or brand new - files is passed around freely on
the system.

Netmail is another advantage of becoming a
point. Netmail is private mail which nobody but
you or the recipient can read. It's a useful service
when you need to talk privately with a user either
locally of at a distance, but don't want to either
bore others or let them know what you're up to.

Again, some sysops allow the passage of pri-
vate mail, but others do not. Netmail can also be
used to send a file to a specific person by attach-

Fidonet addressing

Fidonet ii an organisation which finks buHetin boards together right atrosi the world All BBSs
on Fidonet have a unique address which It made up ol several parts.

For the newcomer these addresses look rather confusing, bul they are realty quite simple. For
instance my own address on the Fidonet system is 2:250 107.99 which is mad* up as follows:

Zone 2 The world is divided into several zones, each numbered. For instance 1 - America, while
2 - Europe.

Net 250

Each zone covers a wide area so this is subdivided into nets ol more managed hie sizes.
Nets are roughly geographical, for instance 250 covers Manchester.

Node 107 Within each net, every BBS on the system has its own node number. Thus here 107 is the
number of Aspects BBS which is my local board.

Point 99 Some BBSs allow regular users to become points off Lheir boards. Briefly apoinl is the low
est of the low on the Fide system but has advantages over casual BBS callers,

Dial-up list

Bulletin Boards cm be found dll over the world.

iny it to your message. While mast offline readers
allow messages to be written to open echoes,
tfiey generally lack the facility to send netmail -
although it can be received by you. So even if
your sysop allows private mail, the software may
nat!

Netmail is also used to tell your node which
echoes you wish to receive. A program called
AreaFls handles this painlessly. Simply specify the
area you wish to add or subtract Irom your cho-
sen list and the software will do the rest.

Being a point demands a certain amount of
discipline and responsibility. Before even consid-
ering asking for the facility you should consider
whether you are prepared to log on at least daily
to collect your messages. While the bundling at
the Board end is relatively automated, the longer
your bundle sits there the longer you are using
your sysop's precious disk space.

Another thing to bear in mind before becom-
ing a point is the difficulty of setting up the vari-
ous pieces of software needed to run successfully.
While the various packages are easy to use once
running, the configuration procedure can take
weeks r even for the experts.

Documentation is definitely aimed at people
who know both their Amiga and the Fidonet sys-
tem inside out, although you will find plenty of
willing - if sometimes incomprehensible - help
from both the sysop and your fellow pointers.
When you see even thE experts tearing their hair
out it does make you feel a little less stupid!

AMOS

Nurse, the screens

A lthough you may already know this,
Amos has some very powerful com-
mands for the manipulation! of
screens and their contents. You will know by
now how to load and define screens,, sure, even
if you've only just bought the program.

What about moving screens around once you
have them defined and loaded? Amos has a
number of very useful (I love understatement,
don’t you?) commands for manipulating
screens, and these are easy to spot as they usu-
ally have the word * screen* in them.

Screen Hide will take a screen yoo r ve loaded
and send it away somewhere until it is needed.
To show it again you just need to use the Screen
Show command. Logical really, and as always in
Amos Show and Hide are the exact opposite
when applied to what you might call visual
comma nds.

The best place to hide an Amos screen of
course is in a SPACKed memory bank and a
Packed Picture, as it takes up less memory.

Screen Copy is used as a part of the process
of scrolling ail or part of screens, in combination
with Del Scroll, Scroll and Screen Swap, as we
see in this example;

Phil South pulls down a few screens and fills them
with all kinds of what can only be described as "stuff"'

Mastering Amiga
Amos

As well as being the Amos guru for Amiga
Computing, Phil South is also the author of a
number of Amiga booh like MusJemg Amiga
soon to be Joined in the Autumn by
Mastering' Amiga dmos

This book is a companion to the Arnos mart'
ual giving you a load of examples to type jn and
hints and tips cm all aspects of coding using the
Amos system, from beginners to advanced.

For more details about this and other Bruce
Smith Books call (0923) 89-1355.

got any sense you'll stick this away as a file to
merge to save you typing in all this before you
begin.

The file you choose is loaded into screen 1,
which at the moment is invisible:

Serein C d p ^ 1 Tq D s Screen If Double fluff tr
T Bah UpdiU Dlf

You've opened a screen 0 and you're copying
screen li to 0, then making the system show
screen 0. Double buffering makes things nice
and smooth by hiding any loading of images:

5=2

DH Unit MD,IQ To

5 is the increment of the scroll and the Def
Scroll routine defines the area of the scroll
using the usual co-ordinates. Next you need to

Invisible screen

Screen swap uses an "Invisible* screen called the 'logical screen" on which it renders things like
scrolls, like in our example. When the object or screen has been modified, the results are copied
to I he real icrem Logical screens are very useful for smoothing otherwise slow or clunky render-
ing routines. Try the last example and alter the settings to see how It changes when you adapt
certain parts of the program, particularly the Def Scroll and Screen Copy lines.

Now then, this is when it starts to get really interesting. In the Amiga's display system, a dual
pi jy field is where two Amiga screens are visible at the same lime, overlaid one on the other,
where one ii visible through the other.

This Is a handy effect for what they call In the game reviewing business ’"parallax scrolling ", like
in the game Shadow of the Beast. There is a good Amos demo which parodies this effect, called
Madness Week by the famous French Amos hacker Synlex. Cel ii from the Amos PD Library, and
you'd se£ what I mean,

Your letters

Paul jermany writes; '"Why is it that when I
design a sprite using the Amos Sprite Editor,
for example a red apple, it appears blue on
the screen, although when 3 use the Bob
command it appears as it should. I phoned
the Amos help line and they suggested the
following:

For 1=0 To 15
C=Colour(l)
Colour 1 6+l r C
Next I

At last I can get my sprites on the screen in
their true colours, but the program faded. Is
it something I'm doing wrong? 1 '

You didn't mention Paul if you were using
the Get Sprite Palette command Are you? Of
course you are. One reason for the problem is
that Bobs use the screen palette and the
sprites use the next 16 colours along, which is
what your little proggy from Europress was
all about.

The thing is that the Amos Sprite Editor is
in fact a Boh editor, which Is why if you load
the objects as sprites you will get goofy
colours. So use the Bob commands and have
done with it, that's my advice to you. The
speed difference is minimal and the benefits
of Bobs over sprites is worth it. Sprites are
hardware limited, and Bobs are no limits but
slightly slower. I know which I prefer.

set up a loop and feed the increments to it:

lift YDl
Next 1

kretrt Ship ; Hiit Tbl ; Jcrell 1
Until Icy if Kti

So the area defined by the Def Scroll statement
is scrolled upwards using the Repeat Until loop.
This is done over and over until any mouse button
is pressed, at which Lime the program stops.

Choose a picture which has some colours and
shapes on it. If the picture is too plain you won't
really see the effect.

W As Compugraphic typefaces are to
Amiga bitmapped iont5 H so structured
drawings are to bitmapped graphics.
The key word here is "scalable".

It ' 5 a bit erf a misleading term. Scalable means
exactly wlia l it says - able to be scaled, scaled as in
resized, that is. Anyone who has played with text in
Deluxe Paint will knew that they can quickly stale
any text they pul on the screen by cutting it out as
a brush and hitting either the h or H keys. And that
text is a bitmapped font.

So how come we say Compugraphic typefaces
are scalable and bitmapped fonts aren't? The
answer is probably laziness. What we actually mean
is that Compugraphic typefaces can be scaled to
any sjze and still keep their original! shape.

Most importantly, a smooth curve in a
Compugraphic character wilt always remain a
smooth curve, no matter how large it is si/ed r
Conversely, increase the size of a bitmapped
character and it will result in the small steps that
form the curve being magnified into larger steps,
giving it a staircase appearance. It is a shortcoming
often called "the jaggies",

Bitmapped

And ifs the same with bitmapped graphics. IFF
ILBM pictures - the kind produced with such pro-
grams as Deluxe Paint, Digi-Paint and Photon Paint
for example - are bitmapped graphics; indeed the
BbA part of ILBM stands for bitmap.

You shouldn't let the term bitmap confuse you,
it merely means that the object the word has been

used with - for example, here
we r ve been talking about
bitmapped graphics and
bitmapped fonts is charted
out in memory so that one
memory location represents
one pixel on the screen.

The advantage of this tech-
nique is that graphics and char-
acters can be placed on the
screen vety quickly indeed. Ah r
but enlarge the size of a
bitmapped graphic and the
outlines of the elements that
make up the picture become
more jagged! because each
square pixel is simply doubled
in size.

Reduce the size a bitmapped
graphic and data has to be removed from the pic-
ture because there rs no longer mom for it in the
smaller bitmap.

Structured drawings work differently. The lines
and shapes you draw using the drawing tools in
your desktop publishing program wHI all he struc-
tured drawings.

Instead of the computer remembering how to
draw the shape by mapping each point to a mem-
ory location, it does it by remembering " control
points" long the line or around the outline of the
shape, and mathematical equations that describe
how to draw a line or curve to another control
point.

No jaggies

Like Compugraphic outline fonts, if you enlarge
or reduce the size of a structured drawing it will
retain its original shape. No ^aggies, to put it in a
nutshell

The price you pay is speed and memory. It takes
far linger ko render a structured drawing because
the software has to first calculate dll those equa-
tions, and then convert the result into a bitmap that
can be displayed on the screen.

A structured drawing of anything other than a
simple shape takes more memory because ail the
mathematical equations (or vectors) have to be
Stored in memory as well as the bitmapped version
for screen display purposes.

By far the easiest way to incorporate structured
drawing in your desktop-published documents is to
buy some structured dip art. Most of the commer-
cial structured dip art available for the Amiga comes
in Pro Draw's dip Format, and can be imported into
both ProPage and PageStream.

But the most popular structured drawing format
For desktop publishing is that created by Adobe
Illustrator, a program not available on the Amiga,

Jffcjftnafar CAp Ait fwn ha^ a tew cidui/reu giapltki, aifihoagih
i Yw not jure fit ever find q uh hr thr al Mexico

more's the pity. However PageStream 2.2 owners
are able to import and even edit Adobe Illustrator
drawings, which opens up to them the big wide
world of public domain structured drawings.

Illustrator art

The first Amiga collection of public domain
Adobe Illustrator art has recently be released by
George Thompson Services. Supplied on three disks
For £9.99, there are 106 dtps to investigate, some
of which themselves are small collections Of
drawings.

The vast majority oF it Is mono an (black and
white and shades of grey), in fact I could find only
three dips that contained colours - two flags and
something fishy. But then most ol us are using
mono printers anyway, so we won'l find this to be
a problem.

Subject matter varies widely. The files have not
been grouped into directories of related drawings,
rather everything is saved in the one directory (on
each disk] with a sensible filename that describes
the graphic.

So it's well done to George Thompson Services
for taking the time ta put this collection together.
At less than 1 Op per clip, let's hope iL sells well and
more public domain structured drawing collections
appear very soon.

MULTIMEDIA

T his month I will be looking at what Is
happening at Alitiathera Systems Ltd,
one of the few companies presently
manufacturing software for the CDTV/CD-HOM
setups.

The first release from ASmathera was Fractal

Dave Winder previews
a host of titles due out
on CDTV soon

Universe, a journey into the wonderful world of
fractals, allowing the user to create their own as
well as learn about the history and theory of the
subject, and of course a massive on disk gallery
of fractal images.

A full review of fractal Universe appears in the
August iissue of Amiga Computing. A PC CD-ROM
version is also now in development. A hard act
to follow, but followed it was r and how.

GDPD has just been released as I write
this (August), and was featured in a recent
Almanac. The CD holds over 600Mb of
Fred Fish disks, worth well over £1,000,
as well as both WorkBench 1.
and 2,04,

The good news is that
Commodore UK have signed
a bundling deal with
Almatbera, so expect to see
CDPD bundled with the A570
when it finally reaches the

masses. In development at the moment is the fol-
low up to CDPD, CDPD-2. As well as containing
Fred Fish disks up to around 750 in archive form,
the CD will also feature the entire (AM collection,
and of course Work Bench 1.1 and 2.04 as before
[which are copyright Commodore of course).

COP P-2 should be available by the time you
get to read this, and will be another must
buy title for any CD-ROM owning
Amiga enthusiast. Along similar lines is
what is being called, as a working title,
the DEMO CD. This will contain
500Mb * of demos, music, graph-
ics, Amos PD and a good deal
more. This could be yet
another really interesting
program.

Senny and Foo is an
unusual title for an unusual
idea, and one that I admit to Hk-

Custom built

Caines that have been written for the CDTV
platform, instead ot ported straight Over
from the Amiga, have been in short Supply
so far. In (act, Online Entertainment have
been the only people really working in this
direction.

Now Almathera are about to join the
games race, with Treasure Quest- I have
seen the development version of this - an
animated board game Is the bell way to
describe if. The player takes the part ol a
young adventurer accepting the challenge
of the? King >if flossamjvin to enter Wizard
Elsilf'd's Magical Maze and find as much
treasure as I hey cam

The maze is randomly generating, and so

is different every game. The monsters are
impressive, ali the voices being performed by
professional actors,, and their response to
your questions differs according to their
mood.

There are plans for games within the
game, including arcade games and game
shows. A fTult machine was being pro-
grammed when I tested Jt.

Designed as a game for more than one
player, it is at its best when there are at leas!
four players - the maximum is eight. Treasure
Quest looks like it could be a good alternative
to playing a hoard game, and as such should
appeal to the family audience. It h due ouL in
November.

ing quite a lot. This is an illustrated poem,
aimed at children in the age range of 7 to 12
years, to help them appreciate metre and form.

There is also an adventure game which rakes
place over four universes. Packed full of anima-
tion, with puzzles and games galore, it sounds
as if this could be a good item to put on the
Christmas present list. Due out in November,

The London Guide is also under develop-
ment at the moment - a fully interactive guide
to the capital. Designed fully to use multimedia
with thousands of entries and photographs, as
well as the sounds of London (the mind boggles
as to what they may be).

Almathera J s MD, Paul Ralph, told me: "This is
one of our most ambitious titles, we'll bring it
out when It ts fully ready arid not before.*

My guess is that this will mean sometime
around Spring 1933.

A long time

Video Creator promises much, so much that
it 5 taking a long time indeed to see the light of
day. it "allows the user to create his or her own
professional pop videos to accompany any
music CD. With an optional Genlock and a
camcorder you can even star in your own pop
video*.

Almathera seem to be quite sure that the
final product can be as exciting as it sounds,
and I certainly hope they are correct. Don’t
expect to see this until next year though.

A series ot CDs based on the RAF Museum at
Hendon's collection is in the pipeline. It you are
interested in aircraft, and the RAF in particular,
expect to be amazed at the quality of the mate-
rial, bath still photographs and animated
sequences, that should be in the final titles.

There was a risk at one stage that this project
may have been lost to CD-I, but I am glad to
say that it is definite ly a CDTV title in progress
now.

Script form

Finally a look at a project in progress, which
is still only in script form as 1 write.

Almathera's Book of Spells is designed lo
help you fly r blight your neighbours' cattle, or
turn your boss into a toad. Paul Ralph tells me
this is qoing to be the definitive history and
practices of magic as never before told, promis-
ing to list over a hundred demons you don't
want lo meet.

There will be no warranty on the spalls how-
ever, as some may not work on CDTV, or any-
where for that matter., "I’ve learnt some
interesting stuff which should be part of every
management training schedule,* says Paul who
is the writer and producer on this particular
title.

Due out hopefully in Spring 1993, this is def-
initely going to be a very humorous CD and
one that should not be taken too seriously, if
you see what I mean.

The Amiga is a powerful computer wilh
Superb graphics - but how do you write
programs wilh smooth-Rowing 3D effects like the
ones in the best arcade games arid in 'virtual reality'
multimedia kit? How do you produce high speed
animation in real time controlled by the Amiga joystick? This
book shows you how to solve those problems and - al the
same time - to learn about Amiga assembly Fanguage
painlessly and en|Oyably.

Contents include assembly programming, screen mapping- the
use of bi\ planes; screens; colour; Ihe copper; extensive bhlter
programming; real-lime solid vector graphics; Iransformalions -
rotations, translaiions, enlargements, shears, perspective; input
from the keyboard and joystick; hidden surface removal and
illumination from a light source; building a 3D world of animated
objects and flying around it under joystick control.

Attention All Designers!

The Trojan Amiga compatible
Nghtpen can be used #s &
complete rtpli cement for the
mouse in many applications.
Particularly useful in drawing and
design, the two button pen provides
the user with a very direct method of
cortnol-

Thli package also includes kwikdraw
- a lightpen compatible drawing
program, plus a lightpen driver that
allows the pen to be used with most
programs that run from Amiga
Workbench. The lightpen also
compatible with: DPjint and fv f Photon Paint, Workbench 1-2/1,%
Battiechess, Professional Page, AfuS/c X and AlfdiomJ$t€T tfP

Easy to use r the Trojan lightpen will have you producing
designs and drawings that are far superior to those
produced using a mouse.

The Rendale range of Amiga Genlocks begins with the 8802 This is a
Genlock, which, when attached to an Amiga computer and a surtaWe video
system, will allow you to mix video and computer graphics. It offers all the

functions that you need, such as: „

* RGB feed through, allowing for a preview monitor.

* High quality output video, which in default mode provides video with overlaid

computer graphics. _

£178-

lt can be supplied with a device which will allow you to between
computer graphics and the video source, and also a mode control unit so that
you can move between Amiga only, video only, background mode a

keyhole modes 1 & 2.

£ 499 -

The Rendale Super-8802 is a development of the basic 8802 unit, it performs
the same functions, but has the added capability of also working with Super-
VHS signals. The unit will allow the user to cross fade between the Amiga
and vX signal. In addition, some basic wipe patterns are provided, and
also a fade to black option. Mode control is also provided via hardware.

8802 FMC Unit

This is a brand new piece of kit which will improve the capabilities of the
popular Rendale 8802 Genlock, This unit allows you to cross fade between
the* Amiga and video signals, so that you can gently fade computer tifles in
and out Also, the ability to switch between the various modes offered by he
8802 is provided. The required mode is selected by a push switch, giving
smooth, flicker free transformations.

The FMC unit does need to be soldered into the 8802, we can do this at our
factory if required.

UPGRADE PATHS

Rendale Genlocks are designed to be flexible, and the ability ol your GenlDck
to grow with your system was deemed to be of paramount importance in our

design process.

As a consequence, existing 8802 users can follow one of upgrade paths.
The fade and mode control unit (FMC unit) can be purchased independent y,
and fitted to your 8802 genlock by our engineer, We would only require your

unit for around two days.

The other upgrade path is the move from a purely composite 8802 to the
Supef'8802. This can also be done simply, although we do have to f»rform
the upgrade work at our factory. We would only require your unit for around

two days.

IV

e you ever wondered about turning your com*
puling hobby into a wage- paying career? I'm
ot talking about becoming a program mer, but

v instead working tor a dealer as a sales, support Of
purchasing capacity.

Believe it or not, even irt the midst of this recession,
many dealers and computers firms need people with a
knowledge ol the Amiga. The Amiga is after all the best
selling home compute! currently available in the UK, as
such there are a great many firms looking for such
people.

From your point of view, having a jab that you enpoy is
also more rewarding and fulfilling - rather than a dull
office \ob - and in some cases can also be financially
advantageous.

Looking through the pages of AC it r s obvious that
there is no shortage of dealers selling our favourite com-
puter. As such it should be easy to find a fairly local com-
pany that you can try for.

More importantly, from time to time the bigger com-
panies will advertise for staff - although this approach
does have the disadvaniage that a lot of people will prob*
ably try for the positions.

Tentative

Alternatively, if you purchased your Amiga from a local
dealer then you may know one of the staff or managers.
Depending on how well you know these staff, make a few
tentative enquiries as to whether there are any positions
currently available or coming up-

If so, get them to put you forward on your behalf.
Internal references are often given preferential treatment,
particularly in smaller companies,

Another possibility is that you can talk to some of the
more specialised employment agencies working in the
leisure computer industry.

Two such companies worth trying are Answers
Recruit men l at Hazelwood Road, Northampton NN1
UN, and Key Resources at 3 Orton Enterprise Centre,
Rake well Road, Orton Southgate, Peterborough PE2 GXlL

You can either request a specific position or leave this
choice to the company. There are many different types
job within a local dealer - sales assistant, customer sup-
port, purchasing etc - but you should he honest with

yourself as td the type of job your own knowledge
warrants.

You can't for example expect to work in the customer
support department helping users like yourself if you only
have a basic knowledge of the Amiga!

Enclosed with the letter should be your tv, Rath of
these documents should be short but factual - pages and
pages of text that take ages to read can be more harmful
to your future career than a lack of experience.

Remember the reader will be a busy person, using five
pages to say what could have been said in a couple of
sentences will annoy them and only antagonise them.

Your CV should go into detail Aiout your computing
experience, but don't skimp on other areas such as your
qualifications.

Note how I said computing experience rather than
Amiga experience. Although your expertise maybe only
be with the Amiga, the Amiga will not last forever, and
such companies will be looking for versatility and a gen-
eral knowledge of computers. It's highly unlikely that the
company only stocks Amigas and you'll almost certainly
end up working with other types of computer,

Generalising

So instead of saying you have extensive knowledge of
Pro Write or PageStream (Amiga specific applications) put
down "word processing and DTP skills.*

These packages are wordprocessors and desktop pub-
lishing packages so you're not lying. Obviously if you have
experience of other computer systems, even better.

Having written your these two documents you should
send them to the company in question. Call first to find
out who the letter should be addressed to, every firm will
have someone who is responsible their personal.

Hopefully you'll be asked to go for an interview.

i

Combining your hobby with
your job could transform
your work into a hitherto
unimagined pleasurable
experience. How? Read on,*,

Interview procedures vary greatly depending on the com-
pany in question. Again while you should obviously try to
emphasise your knowledge you should not lie or exaggerate
to the extent that you cannot back your claims up. Answer
all questions honestly and where possible appear confident
and authoritative.

Once the interview is over and you've left the companies
premises there rs not a lot more you can do until you next
hear from them. You'll either be offered a contract or turned
down.

If you make it, congratulations - you've made it to the first
rung of the ladder in a career of computing. lif you aren't
offered a position, don't get disheartened. There are many
other vacancies around and every time you miss out your
chances improve for the next time around - keep trying!

Amiga Markef November 1992

I

Last pear* while wandering around the ArnkExpo in Berlin, a
striped bo* uu^ht my eye, Cur»ous, I looked closer and came
face to face with Dlgffilger 1, a German contender for king of
the dngtciser jungle.

Now I've had an extensile play with the new DigiTiger 2 1
thought you may he interested -In hearing if it's worth roaring
about

As digitisers go, DigiTeger isn't the most compact you'll find,
resembling somewhat a bag of sugar with knob on r It corrects
lo the Amiga's parallel port via a generous length of cable and
composite video is fed through a phono connector at the rear
of the unit and, as it Is externally powered, A50Q- or 600 own-
ers who are pushing their power supplies to the limit need not
worry about burning out their precious kit.

Jute claim that DigiTiger is a speed merchant, "the fastest
slow-star* digitiser chat money can buy ' h and I found no reason
id argue, having compared it with a standard Digl-View and
found Di^Tiger to be at least twice as fas* al! round.

As well as this, it produces results which are* in many cases,
superior to MewTek's daddy o* nil digitisers. I reckon ihm it
would beat DCTY 'j digitiser to the line as well,

Adjustments

Through DigiTiger's combination of hardware and software a
wide range of adjustments can be mads, as the signal can be
processed via the front-panel controls For colour, brightness
and contrast before *t Is digitised, and further tweaking can be
made from software, posi-gj-ab.

By manipulating the hardware controls, line art and other
effects can afeo tee obtained quite easily. A fourth knob, marked
Syn, is used to overcome synchronisation problems which may

Our monthly guide to
new Amiga products

be present with certain V T Rs . Unlike many digitisers,
DigiTiger has a preview mode which enables the Incoming
video to be seen in to-res black and white directly on the
Amiga’s monitor, making Framing and focusing a cinch,

Once the software u set up, selecting one of the eight
preset screen sra.es, which range From lo-res 120 x 256 to
TEH x £60 hi -res overscan, and then choosing the digittsing
method, causes a video Image to be grabbed.

Unlike other digitisers, the number aF colours is deter-
mined after grabbing, and according to the chosen resolu-
tion, with HAM providing the largest number of colours,
chough at the expense of horizontal resolution.

Of the six methods of digititir^g available, the most useful
are undoubtedly Black and White, Colour Manual and

Colour Auto, with the self-explanatory Antique -and Pseudo-
Colour being link more than novelties, while Test is lo-res
mono only. Handily, DigiTiger also contains a colour splitter,
which means that when Colour Auto is selected, an incoming
colour signal will automatically be split into the red, green and
blue components required for digitising, thus obviating the need
for the separate splitter required by some other digitisers In
this price range.

But if you sul! use a black and: white camera with colour ftl-
cbit., Colour Manual allows you to rocatc the filter before mak-
ing the next pass. No dues as to what Black and While is for.

After grabbing an image, DigiTiger's Colour Mixture
requester pops up with choices for the number of colours ( I to
6 hitplaues), relative R. G and B levels, HAM sharpness (to
reduce HAM fringing artefact^ and various Palette functions,
one of which Is to render each image with a locked palette

This means that they will play back correctly when animated
with DPainL This is the last stage and once the grab is to your
liking it can be saved for posterity on disk.

Used in anger. 1 found DigiTiger to perform well, gnee 1 had
spent same time getting the Franc panel knobs set up just right
For my system.

Dependant

By testing with a black and white camera, an 5-VHS cam-
corder and s VH£ deck 1 can report that the results were gen-
erally very good, though of course they will always tee
dependent an the quality of the video feed.

As DigiTiger is a slow-sean digitiser any grabbing From tape
must be done with a VCR capable of a rock-solid pause of the
grab will have the jitters.

In a shoot out wiih Digi-Yiew, DigiTiger was the clear win-
ner For speed, quality and ease of use, though in the picture
processing stakes Digi-Yiew is still the boss.

Although the manual is entirely in German, the saving gjrace
is chat the software is available in an easily understood English
version, so there really isn't much cause for concern.

Anyone at all familiar with Amtga software will Kave no trou-
ble with DigiTiger 4 ! standard pull-down menu, point and click
interface.

DigiTiger is compatible with all Amigas and most turbo
cards. I Mb RAM or more is recommended.

Amigo Market November 199?

Order v2

The Amiga database market couldn't be described as the most
buoyant in the productivity sector, and far long there have
been only a few packages competing for a fairly small market It
is therefore the first requirement of a new database that ct offer
something new,

South Hams Software's Order is a relational database with
few frills wbdh uses an approach more often associated with
PC packages In that the program creates projects containing as
many daciSmes as the user tikes.

Similarly, repons and forms are generated within the same
project and attached to a database so that a project can
devetop into 3 bit of a monster.

It is an approach not found in the other Amiga databases
presently domg the rounds, and makes Order an ideal didice
for manipulating massive amounts of disparate data.

The Order user will find invaluable the facility to create
many different forms to vary the way data is entered, and
reports co provide a range of display and printing; options.

The program ft designed as a collection of modules to con-
trol the creation md editing of the project components, all of
which are accessed from a rm*n menu screen.

This tends to slow down operation, especially when swap-
ping from one module to another as a complete module must
then be loaded from dftk r

Things never get too pedestrian, however, and working
from a hard drive will reduce delays considerably.

X-head

One other niggle is that the 200- page manual will be
required reading for anyone not already familiar with this par-
ticular type of database package.

The seasoned user will pack up rcrast of the main pomes after
about 30 minutes, but beginners might struggle for a while.

In particular, the manual tends to take a lot for gnmted, and
assumes that the user is already comfortable with the terminol-
ogy. The result is often a great deal of head-scratching,

Once its layout and general principles have been mastered,
Order is a logical and relatively straightforward package, and
wirh a bit of use it soon develops Into a Flexible tool. The mod-
ular approach sees to this.

As projects and databases arc treated separately, the user
can decide to create a range of projects with one or two
databases within each, or can stick with one large project
stuffed with data

For example, separate projects might be labelled Videos,
Tapes, and Records, or alternatively one large Collections pro-
ject might b* designed to contain three databases with these
names-

Atnipcr Mwkmt November 1992

I Iff!! Ml!!] Mill IWIII 111 Ml UH Ml

When the structure of the project has been decided upon,
any number of reports within each database can be applied to
the data to enable a variety of prkitout options.

The Cassettes database would have a form used for printing
cassette bo* labels, one for listing every cassette by title, and
perhaps a foll-blown song-by-song list cross-indexed to the cas-
sette number on which the songs can be found.

There's plenty of choice, and creating reports is made easy
by the reports editor. By choosing to edit or create a report’s

format, the user just picks up a data field using the mouse and
drags it to a new location in much the same way as Prodata
users create layouts.

This means that if a specific printing format is required, it is
a simple task to knock one together. Mot as easy or as friendly
as the layout creation process in Prodata, perhaps, but per-
fectly adequate and accessible to anyone who has used a
database before. Order's key field and
query facilities will be che most trouble-
some to new users, but can both be very
powerful tools. Queries - searches to you
and me - can be -made from any level of a
database, even the lowest form level at
which much of the data may not be on-
screen, and key fields allow the linkmg of
data across different forms, removing the
need to cype in che same data every time a
new form Is created.

Searches are fast and efficient, even
when asked to find a single piece of data
from hundreds of records, and the exten-
sive support for wildcards makes rooting
through a mass of data for non-specific
information a breeze.

Beginners or those with simple data
storage needs will probably steer dear of
Order, buc chose with demanding needs, or who have found
Some of the existing packages a links too linear will find Order
the perfect tool.

speech device, which will road aloud all program

It is not the most inspiring of products, nor one
which would hold an unsupervised child's attention
for long, but for basic maths instruction it would Suit
the parent who wanted to get on with teaching his or
her child and leave the games till later.

A record is kept of scores gained io each of the
four types of sum,, and this can be printed as a per-
manent record of the child's achievement. There is
also a help function, but tho Live rage eight-year-0 Id,
faced with a help screen which uses words like "divi-
dend" and ^divisor" will find precious little to clear
up any confusion.

Fractions! is a decent stab at good old back to
basics maths, and works fine with supervision, It is,
however, a little lacking when compared to- more
visually and aurally appealing packages such as the
Fun School and Henrietta programs, both of which
manage the same amount of instruction with
infinitely more pzazz!.

REXXPLUS compiler

The expanding arena of ARexx support has recently shown
some very good software and one of the more interesting new
arrivals is the REXXPLUS compiler from che Dineen Edwards
Group. This product will cample ARexx scripts inn? executa-
bles that can be run directly by AmigaDOS-.

Now* do not imagine that this compiler produces
extremely fast code as. for instance, C does. What it does
produce is very well optimised ARexx code, which will satisfy
the requirements of users who have come to like the conve-
nience of ARexx. but need more execution speed.

Jn the ^pplicaciofis I tested I saw speed increases of two to
five times, and in special cases, much more than this would be
possible.

No doubt, one of REXXPLUS s main uses will be the
speeding up of stripes that control other programs. ARex*
power users who need to I ink high-end applications, especially
where calculation is involved, will find that the compiler makes
die previously slow Interprogram connections much faster.

Further, the compiled programs are "pure", so they cart be
made resident in memory, and do not have to be loaded up
every time they nre called.

Trivial

On the downside, compiled programs carry a large over-
head, and even small scripts compile to about 30k You should
also note that the compiler worlds better on more involved
scripts, arid trivial scripts will generally have insignificant
speed-ups.

Compiler support is also provided far tails to Intuition and
other shared libraries. Writing an application with a full
Intuition interface is certainty feasible with REXXPLUS, The
compiled code h "blrnk" compatible so you can easdy use it
with most other languages.

You can call C routines from REXXPLUS, or you could
write part of your program - the parsing and interprocess
communication bits - in REXXPLUS, and the rest in C (or any
other compiled language),

The program is compatible with both Workbench 13 and
2,j r . At least j Mb of RAM is recommended! and as always, a
hard disk is desirable. ARexx. of course, must already he pre-
sent on the system.

An installation script is provided, which, as well as copying
all the necessary files, also adds a few lines to your startup-

sequence. By the way, this Is a good example of ARexx at
work - much easier than AmipDOS? A new logical directory,
RPDiR:, is created and replaces nexx:.

The reason for the alterations is that the REXXPLUS envi-
ronment “intercepts" the normal operation of ARexx and cre-
ates a new task to handle ARex* oils. This task now carries
the REXX and ARescx ports, communicating with the resident,
process via two now ports.

If this sounds somewhat precarious, rest assured chat it ii
net One pf the really striking things about the program it the

Speedy handling

REXXPLUS 1 * method of handling support libraries gives it much of it* speed.
Special compiler libraries are provided for each support library and are used
at compile time to eliminate the time-consuming interpreter cycle of search-
ing the library list* opening and closing the library and so on.

API the function calls are resolved at compile time, allowing direct access
when they are run, A similar concept is used for accessing ports. A program
that required extensive rnath-ematkal calculation speeded up by a most wel-
come six times.

Special -compiler libraries are also provided for the major frtely dis-
tributable support libraries that allow Amiga- specific system calls.

One or two of these have graphics compatibility clashes with Workbench
2.0, but the excellent APlGJibrary and rxgen.library* which are also sup-
ported* are more than enough to allow anything in the system to be
accessed.

Oineen Edwards Group offer to make special libraries available for other
support libraries and function hosts.

elegance and robustness of the
interface

AH the programs tested ran and
communicated together with no
snags whatsoever. These included
executables, normal rx'ed macros,
rx’ed executables* and macros called
from other programs.

Compiling is easy - the intuition,
interface will even jjlow a beginner
to compile a script with just a couple
of mouse-clicks, although there are
numerous options for the more

experienced user.

The compilation times themselves

- while not exactly greased lightning

- were fast enough not to cause any
frustration. All sons of listings can be
generated to aid the debugging pro-
cess. The REXXPLUS compiler pro-

vides some additional useful commands to the standard ARexx
language definition These include octal conversion and line
processing routines, further, all calls to rexxsupportJibnarjf
and to the transcendental math functions can he considered as
built-in functions.

The documentation is excellent. One thing chat you cannot
use in compiled code however* is the Interpret instrucciofi. A
few or the tracing options are also missing.

Overall this is a very g&od product, especially when you
consider the work required to get this kind of thing right The
authors have got it right, though, and I believe it will see mini
improvements in the future,

However. I think chat the program would be better served
by a change In the licensing agreement, which currently
requires special permission from DEG to distribute programs
created with ft.

i would certainly not recommend it to a beginner looking
for their first compiler - it is a bit too specialised for that -
but serious ARexx users, and programmers who rely cn
ARexx environments, will be more than pleased with ii It
could well be a future Amiga classic.
