Dixons dissent
Dixons, owners- of the electrical chain stores, have
pulled out of the Amiga market indefinitely. With the
uncertain future of Corn mode re, it would appear
that the retail company is wailing lo see the out-
come of any potential buyouts before deciding to
restock.
The situation is up for review as with any range,
but the situation with Commodore is somewhat
unusual", said Nicola Marsden, corporate affairs
officer for the retail company,
On questioning Dixons about their future plans
? or the Commodore home computer and! console
range, Marsden added: “I couldn’t give any commit-
ment either way at this stage."
At Commodore's UK headquarters, David
Plaasance, managing director, commented on
Dixon's move:: “ll's very typical - Dixons have
always been line when they're friends with any
manufacturer.
"Unfortunately, they have a nervousness about
what is going lo happen to the Amiga, so they sell
off what they have iin their stores and hold their
breath, waiting until something happens. When the
situation is good again, they return to the scene."
While, in the immediate future, Dixons' move may
not bode well lor Commodore's image in the eyes of
the consumer, David Pleasance is confident about
the eventual outcome: 'I can't say Tm happy about
what they are going to do... but I think it's a short-
term situation".
David Ploa*»nco: “... ft'* i »hflrt-t*nn srtuMtion."

Following ih« downturn in Commodore's fortune? and its
subsequent liquidation, it was revealed that Merfhi Ali. pres-
ident of Commodore International, has left. While other key
figures have been relieved of their jobs by the administra-
tors brought in after ihe bankruptcy, many have been re-
employed as advisors.
According to David Pleasance of Commodore UK. Medhi
Ali has left the company “because his services were no
longer required”. The two individuals selected to replace
him are Hock Tan and Ed Goss.
There is also some speculaiion at the moment suggest-
ing that Commodore's litigation
against FMG and Steve Franklrn,
the former director of the UK
division, are being dropped. This
however was strongly denied by
David Pleasance.

After months ol waiting for a buyer to step in and res-
cue Commodore. Computer Trade WeeKty, an industry
paper, has revealed thal a surprise buyout
package created by current and former Commodore
management may well be the business' most likely
future.
The buy-out is said ip have been formulated by lead
figures in management R&O employees in the US and
a component manufacturer, if they succeed in buying
the company, it is unlikely that that Commodore's sub-
sidies will survive.
The end result of such a deal is that the once
American business would operate and be registered in
Britain from Commodore's UK offices in Maidenhead.
Hopes ere that the management buy-out would see a
more stable and small company structure emerging
from the ashes of bankcrupcty.
Success for SlI&UESt

However, when customers examine the cartridges

PriuatB prosecution for piratq
The Crime Unit recently created by ELSPA lo combat software
Ihefl has bad its firsl success, with a private prosecution brought
against pirategr Philip Richards. A private investigator working
for the association discovered that Richards was illegally copy-
ing and selling games software.
The prosecution was brought following a visit by (he investi-
gator to Richards' home in December 1993. There. Richard
copied and sold the ELSPA man four programs for Ihe Amiga
1209. Police later raided the house and seized both computer
equipment and over 2900 computer disks.
The magistrates at Kettering Magistrates Court in
Northumberland found Richards guilty o! breaching section 107
of the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1908. He was fined
£75 for each ol the tour copied programs he attempted to sell,
and was charged £250 costs.
Other successes are ihree raids carried oul netting pirated
CD software worth £10 million.
John Loader, chief investigator for the Cnme Unit, said: "We
warned that new low-cost CD-R copying equipment could
potentially lead to huge losses for UK software producers and
could lead to Ihe distribution of high quality pornographic mate
rial on CD.
"The retrieval of £10m worth of software on just 500 CDs per-
fectly illustrates the enormous threat posed to the commercial
software industry."

should contact ELSPA on 0386 B33B10. All calls wilt be heated

Uideo toaster and
Bobotop join forces
The new television series detailing the contin-
uing adventures of metal law enforcer
Robocop has recently finished its production
cycle of 20 episodes.
Many of the visual effects within each show
were created using a video toaster and an
Amiga 4009. The graphics rendered and
drawn include Ihe interactive computer read-
outs on the monitors in Ihe Robocruiser, in
Ihe Metro Soulh squad room, and in the labo-
ratories, among others.
“We also create the imaging in Robocop's
visor for targeting, computer feeding and
diagnostics,” explains Lee Wilson, visual
effects supervisor for the production," as well
as the backgrounds tor Diana's trip through
Robocnp's neuro-nets, and the original com-
puter animation of the helicopter.
"In a merging of the two systems, the heli-
copter was built and animated in Ihe compu-
ter using the Toaster and Lightwave 3D pro-
gram and flown over Delta City.”
Stephen Downing, executive producer of
the series, explains how the Amiga 4009
ended up as part of Ihe crew on the most
expansive series produced in Canadian
television history:
‘■Shortly into production Lee came to us
and asked if we would buy this incredible
place of computer equipment, tt was not in
our budgel. but we talked il oul and SKYVi-
SlON decided to support the departmeni.
hoping the added computer would pay for
itself.
■A few days after the toaster arrived 1 came
into work lo find the entire visual affects crew
still in the department after pulling an all-
nighler. The outstanding work they delivered
saved Ihe production time and money, creat-
ing elements wb didn’t have to sub-contract to
other companies."
The senes itsell has already been syndi-
cated to 119 countries worldwide and, tor
British Robocop followers, ihe intention at the
moment is to release the series straight on to
video and then to sell it to television.

Euolution of an image
-w-T)
ot on the heals of ASDG's major ADPro 2.5
upgrade is ImageFX 2,0 from the folks at
^ Nova Design. Although the program doesn't
look that d efferent on tho outside, the underlying
engine has been souped up considerably.
H's like putting a 5.0 litre Mustang ■*“
engine under the hood oi an Escort
- it doesn’t really look different, but
it's likely to leave competitors in the
dust.
I've had the opportunity to play
with a beta lest version ol the pro-
gram and am quite impressed.
Kaep in mind That as this was writ-
ten il was still over a month from
release, some of these features
might change, and other features
could be added at the last minuta.
Memory permitting, you can now
work with multiple image buffers,
Thanks to ImagaFX's virtual mem-
ory support, you should find it easy to work with multi-
ple 24-bit images simultaneously..
Both common and esoteric graphics formats are
now part of ImageFX's repertoire, including PICT
(bitmap and vector!), PhotoCD. PIC, Sunraslcr, Silicon
Graphics, X-windows, Wavefront, GL and DL anima-
tions, and even C64 Koala!
A Datatypes loader is also planned for AmigaDOS
3 users. Animalors will be ecstatic to leam that
imagsFX 2,0 will include an Mpeg digital video pla-
yer, decoder, and encoder. (This is the formal useo
by the CD32 FMV module.) Support is also planned
for limited loading and saving of QuickTime
animations.
The program's painting abilities have been greatly
Improved. Paper textures let you make it appear as if
you’re painting on canvas or a 1 expired surface, similar
to the effects available in Fractal Design Painter lor the
Macintosh.
This effect is heightened when using the new water-
colour, crayon, chalk, and colour-mixer draw modes.
The air brush is improved, with real-time response.

increased size and the ability to control fading in and
oul, New gradient fills are also available, including brick
tile, swirl, and wheel I ills
You can previaw a number of el facts, such as
Convolve. Twirl, Rotate, and Apply Texture using the
new thumbnail feature. Other effects, such as Relief
Map and Transform, have been greatly improved, with
better interfaces and more ARexx contrqi
New effects include Jiggle, Pebble, Rampbdge,
Lightning, Spherize, 3-D Rotate, and Straw,
[R 0 PP 1 T 1 G
Selecting portions of an image is now easier thanks
to the addition of moving. M crawiing-anl" outlines.
There's a fantastic new autocrop feature - just select
the edge colour and the program will crop the edges of
the image until no more of lhal colour remains.
Colour correction between NTSC and PAL systems
is now provided, which will come in handy if you re cre-
ating professional output to be sent over seas.
Text capabilities are greatly improved. First and fore-
most. you can actually enter multiple lines of text

instead of having to create text a line at a time, You can

The update should be available about the time you ■
are reading this. Pricing wasn't available as this went to
press, but if you're currently an ImageFX user you'll find j
this update worth whatever price Nova Design asks,
You may remember that ImageFX 1 .0 and 1 .5 were |
released by GVP. When the contract came up for
renewal. Nova Design, who created ImageFX, and
GYP agreed to let the rights to Ihe program revert hack i
lo Nova.
Novo will still support GVP buyers and offer
upgrades to those users. Intact, Nova's Kermit Woodall
promised that Ihe company will endeavor lo offer better ;
technical support tor ImageFX, and that they have
some hot plans lor the program's future despite
Commodore's current situation,
IFX 2.0 should be available soon after you road this.
Nova hadn't firmed up UK distribution at pness-itme. so
check with your local dealer, or contact Nova via e-mail
a! kermit@cup.pOTtal.com via Internet.

You'd never know It listening lo the songs, though The fast-paced, ensp, dig,
tally-mastered music sounds as good or better than many of the techno ot reve
titles you'd pick up at the local Virgin or HMV shop. Most of the songs, such as
Afier Shoe* and Reflects, are eminF
ne-nlfy danceable, while a few, such
as the atmospheric Rainy December,

ver the yaars Amtga Computing has,
■ always Iried to Keep Commodore at
wr arm's length as far as editorial content
i m noemed - unlike some of the opposition.
Admittedly, during the first IS months of my
i . - -?ment with the magazine Ibis wasn’l par-
1 u arly difficult, thanks to Commodore's total
r -iude In the PR department.
>jnng this period we received a liny hand-
* of press releases, no product pictures or
transparencies, and certainly no machines or
t - oal Commodore add-ons.
t's true that with the arrival of Kefly Sumner
and rhe ubiquitous Mr Pfeasance, the tide did
ippear to be turning. However since the big
&ang r Commodore seem happy to sit back as
D«h users and third-party developers head lor
i watery grave.
As I write this particular piece Commodore
“*ave already been officially oul of business for
.grit weeks. As you’re probably well aware,
xnng Ihis period the rumours have been tty-
i g with Phillips, Samsung and Hewlett
P ackard ail in the frame for a take-over.
However not a single word from
Bach
basics
Rs lormudore languish in liquidation
Paul Rustin ashs why are the people who
made the Rmiga being treated so poorly
m
Fund farewell
before reading loo far into this particular
oox lake a quick glance at the bottom of the
page, If you've never really taken much
nte rest in what's affectionately known as
"'he flannel panel" it's unlikely you’ll notice
dhything.
However Shere’S one all important name
missing among the molfey crow that make
up thE Amiga Computing editorial team. Alas, sflor two years ot
inspired leadership, Stevie Kennedy's name no longer gets a mention.
During a period spanning almost lour years, Stevie has been the key
player in I he development and subsequent success of the magazine,
transforming what wag a struggling publication into the one by which all
others are judged.
Unfortunately lor us his talents haven’t gone unnoticed, and as a
result he's been abducted and will now be editing one of our key PC
titles, Obviously, it's always difficult to lose such an important member
of any team, but with a little luck we hope to- maintain the tradition of
quality that's been the trademark of the “wee mart” himself,
On behalf of myself and the test ol the team all that remains is to say
bon voyage to a great editor, an Inspired journalist and a true friend. Asl
the best mate, and good luck - not that you'll need any.,,
Paul Austin
Editor
Commodore. Obviously negotiations can be
tricky, so it's not totally surprising the big C
are keeping their cards close to their corpo
rate chests.
But oven so, what about the people who
made the machine a success in the first
place? Surely a bigger effort could be made to
reassure the users and third-party developers
who’ve earned the Amiga over the years.
After all, who manufactures Ihe machine
isn't really Ihe issue, it's the uncertainty that's
destroying confidence. Since Commodore’s
demise we've received just one faxed press
release - and I can only assume the same is
true fgr other magazines.
Obviously, fgr those sitting in the comfy
chairs at Commodora’s head office this proba-
bly isn't of any great 'concern - especially as
Mr Pleasance has stated that Ihera won’t be
any redundancies.
Great news lor the old boy network, but
what about the people at Ihe sharp end, such
as developers and retailers whq quite rightly
arc terrified at tho prospect of continuing
.Amiga development or investing in new stock.
Once these sort of people start to lose faith
in a machine we're all in real trouble. Any
machine is only as good as the people who
support it, and II confidence goes, the
machine goes with it - the ST being a prime
example.
The really Infuriating point is that the
machine itself wasn't even developed by
Commodore. In truth, the basic technology
was bought and subsequently marketed

under the Commodore name.
In reality it is fair to say the Amiga made
Commodore and not ihe older way around. As
a result. I think It's high lime that the company
who've made millions with ihe Amiga return
some of the customer loyalty which has paid
for so many company cars and executive
lunches,
Strange as il may seem I’m still optimislic
about the fulure, and with an injection of cash
and a fresh management approach I'm sure
the future for the machine will be secure.
The basic technology is stilt way ahead of
ihe opposition and according lo Mr Pleasance,
prior to big bang the AAA chipset was already
on test.
Combine the existing technology with the
most enthusiastic user base on any platform
and you have all the mein ingredients for con-
tinued success.
In fact, it’s a testament to Commodore's
incompetence that they actually managed lo
go under. In tho end I’m sure that the recent
turmoil will be seen as a blessing.
After all, if Commodore can take on the
machine and make millions, the potential lor
someone like Hewlett Packard or Samsung
would appear almost unlimited

Installing utilities
You should first run the Make Utilities Disk_1 .3 to format
a blank disk called AC Utilities which will be used to
store any utilities you eventually install.
Th>S disk can be used with future CoverDisk utilities
until it becomes full. The MakeUtitities Disk 1.3 program
will be a permanent feature of the CoverDisk.
To install any utilities, boot your machine with your
CoverDisk inserted in DFO. Utilities can be installed by
clicking on their install icon lound in the appropriate
drawer in the WB 1.3 Only drawer. You cannol specify
their destination and any addilions to the Startup-
Sequence must be done manually..
When installed the utilities are copied to a drawer
called ACUtils on the ACUtilities disk,

The procedure for installing utilities is much
the same as installing applications, except
that you can boot from your hard drive or
Workbench disk. As utilises doni need to be
de-archived, you are asked to specify a
directory on your hard drive or Workbench
disk where you would like to install them.
If you don't want lo install to the default
directory you can change il by clicking on
Change Destination. The Show Drives but-
ton will allow you to select a new device and
directory. You can create a new drawer for
your utility to go in by clicking on Ihe Make
Mew Drawer button and typing in the name.
Ycu can also make a utilities disk by run-

face. Everything you will need to run Ihe screen blankers is present on I his
interface.
En order to lest each blanker, select one from the list gadget and then click on
the Test button just underneath, You can also adit ihe way in which each blanker
works by selecting one and than clicking on the Editor button, Each editor screen
is particular lo the selected blanker,
If you warn to have Midnight run every time you boot your Amiga you will
need lo copy the BP refs program into your WBStartup drawer, the Midnight
program into your Prefs drawer and the Blankers and manuals anywhere
you like.
Of course, the program will not be abFe to locate Ihe blankers until you specify
Ihe path using the requester below the Imagine Software logo.
This is a demo version of Midntghl but if you register to the fufl version you will
be able to define your own blanker modules using the random oplion. as well as
select others nol included m this version. It's up to you.

if anyone had to nominate ihe nest computer game on the
Amiga there is no doubt that FI Grand Prix from Geoll
Crammond would receive serous consideration.
However, most players have shyed away from the higher per-
formance levels of FIGP due to tee fact thal it's damn hard dri-
ving with gears. Most are content to race on Ihe
rookie levels with maybe the desirudeble function switched off.
The only drawback of racing on rookie level is thal you
eventually improve so much teat FfGP fails lo be a challenge
anymore.
This is where the FI Grand Pri* Editor steps in. Mimicking
the look of the game. FlGP-Ed allows you to alter all the
attributes associated with the game and save them as either
a serrate file or into the actual FIGP program. Everylime
you load the game the defaults will be the same as you crea-
ted in the editor.
You can Improve the skill of opponent teams and drivers,
turn players on or off, change helmet designs and best of all
adit the colours of the cars using a simple but effective
colour picker,.
Using the FIGP-Editor is very simple - most of the but-
tons and windows are self-explanatory. Steve Smith has
kindly included three example files which you can load into
the editor and save to the FtGP executable.

The Amiga is a very powerful machine, so powerful
in fact thar it can quite easily annulate other comput-
ers, including the ZX Spectrum - that classic B-brt
computer that really set the computer industry
moving.
There are two versions of ZXSpectrum on the
CoverDisk - a 0OOOO version for the A5G0, A50Q+
and A6QQ and a 68020 version for A12Q0S and
above.
The good news is that if you own an accelerator
ZXSpectrum will still function, taking advantage of
any additional hardware,
As it stands, the fi&OOO version will be very slow
unless you own an accelerator. Even the Q£Q ver-
sion can't quite emulate the Specimen speed, but
with an D3Q you’ll be looking for tha rubber key-
board and reminiscing about the goad old days.
So that you can step back into Ihase funky 6-bit
days we have also supplied you with a Spectrum
game called Batman - an isometric 3D game in
which Batman must collect parts of the BatmobNe
in order lo save Robin,
When you first Joad ZXSpectrum you will be
greeted with Ihe familiar resei screen. By pressing
down the righl mouse button you can selEcI a vari-
ety of oplions from the main menus.
Select Load and you will be able to load in the
Batman snapshot file. You can even save any pro-
grams you have written with the Save snapshot
facility.
There is a file missing from (he ZXSpectrum
pack and ibis is Ihe help page. Unfortunately, there
was just not enough room to gat this on ihe disk.
When you press the Help key a picture is dis-
played showing the Spectrum keyboard If you
want this file write in and tell us and it will be inclu-
ded on a Jatar GoverDisk.
A slandard Amiga joystick can be used by plug-
ging one into port 2 and selecting Kempslon as the
control method in any games you play.
The Settings menu allows you to load any
Spectrum game through a sampler and store it as a
snapshot fiia. You can load In games by connecting
your data recorder to a sampler and playing the
data through it and inlo the program.
ProSound and Rombo samplers are directly sup-
ported but almost all samplers lhat are capable of a
least 20kHz and plug into the parallel port wilf work.

Visual effects supervisor Lee Wilson is the man behind the light fantasise on
Sky Vision's BoboCop series, and ii was his long term interest in the Amiga and
Video Toaster which resulted in the show's use ol Lightwave imagery lor much
ct the 3D scenes we will see when the series opens in the UK.
It was an introduction made by Lee and destined to become very productive
Initial use of Lightwave on the two-hour pitot movie was restricted to a shot of
RoboCop's helicopter flying over the city, but by the later episodes Amiga-gen-
erated graphics had become a major part of the production
By the time SkyVision shot th© "Heartbreakens" episode half way through the
senes. Light Wave was being used to put together over 20 shots per show,
including a continuous 3 1/2 minute scene from inside RoboCop's cyberspace
-neuro-nef . “We gel a lot of bang for the buck out of this department,"
explained Lae. . .
M is a department many Amiga enthusiasts would kill for, equipped with 14-
Toasters, one of which runs the seventh Raptor accelerator to come off the pro-
duction line. This new card utilises two R4400 Rise chips as found inside Silicon
Graphics machines to give th© Amiga a rendering speed to match the best
available anywhere else.
"A frame which would have taken seven hours to produce would take only
ten minutes with the Raptor," claimed Lee. “It’s like having forty toasters in a
box. and wc can buy ten Raptors (at about SI 4,000 a piece) lor the cost of one
big SGI machine."
Lee is no stranger to the use of lop level effects in TV and movie produc-
tions. His first use of Lightwave lor TV came in the Maniac Mansion show, but
European readers will know him best lor his work with award-winning dineetc
David Cronenberg. From being co-designer of computer effects on the eu
movie Videodrome, he moved on to supervise ©Hects on The Fly and mos
recently was in charge of the more subtle, less visible trickery employed in Dea
Ringers. .....
However, though his background is in optical effects , Lee insists that the slot
is everything. Despite the use of Lightwave plus th© Toaster's paint and charat
t G r-generalion software, and even the employment ol Dpasnt and Brilliance It
backdrops, he has a healthy disregard for effects which hog the limelight.
1 don't want to watch a show where the story halts while you look at a coup
ol minutes of effects just for the sake of it. In Dead Ringers we used a tot ■
effects which you never even notice. It's not the effects, it & the story.
Th© value of the work is in the animator or artist and you see some pretty be
stuff when this is forgotten. One of the most common mistakes and the easie
thing to fix is bad use of lights and textures which people use just because thr
can. This breaks the realism, and the only way to get good results is to use re
world measurements and real world images as much as possible
So what advice does h© have for aspiring animators?
Thg besl thing you can do is watch TV and movies and ask yourscll how lh<
bid that. I grew up with film and television and when I was 14 I got a Super
camera and tried out the effects and techniques with no money or special trie*
Just look and s#s what's out there and really pay attention.
‘You can use a 35mm camera to take pictures ol a city street, have them ;
on Photo-CD in high quality resolution, then drive your 3D car down a real sire
You have to take measurements and think about camera pitch, angle, the re
tiv© scale of objects and if you work with real images and real dimensions eve
thing will look □ lot more realistic, tf you've got the passion for it there s rcc
nothing to stop you."

Softimage, Wavefront, and Alias packages
running on a Silicon Graphics machine. With
this sort of performance and such a phoe tag,
Lightwave only needs to break down The
computer snobbery barrier to make the same
impact here as it has in the Slates
This has been a quick rundown of the most
important new features found in Lightwave
3,2, but there are so many improvements that
it hasn't been possible to cany out our usual
in-depth evaluation, particularly of a package
which arrived just before we went lo print.
Once wa've managed to drag Mr Austin
away from the program long enough to draw

you an update of how the new features

Amiga Computing resisted the temptalion to drool over Lightwave for a long
lime because until last year there was no 'viable way of using the package
on this side of the Atlantic. Buying the NTSC-only Video Toaster just tD usa
Lightwave was akin lo paying $2000 just for the hardware dongle, but when
the third party Light Rave dongle appeared and put (he first cracks in
Lightwave’s NTSC armour, we knew it was only a matter of time before
NewTak got the PAL message,
We rave about this package because anyone who has seen il in action,
enjoyed the delights of using H to create animations, or seen Ihe output of
which it is capable, can fully understand why it has been one of the Amiga's
biggest selling points in the US for the past few years. Put simply, the only
way to better Lightwave as an animation tool for TV, film, or video ts to
spend tens of thousands of pounds on a Silicon Graphics machine and
another £1 0,000 or so on the accompanying software.
No desktop software on any other machine, whether Mac or PC. can hold
a candle to Lightwave, and when compared to Autodesk's powerful 3D
Studio software - £2500 worth of excellent software hampered by a typically
Windows-dominated front end - the Amiga's £600 package comes up
smelling of roses. So there.
I you haven't yet figured out what all the fuss is about, mention of this wonderful
ijghtWava program might be leaving you cold, So a litlte explanation is in order.
Originally released as one element in a package of programs designed to work
* NewTek s Video Toaster TV studio on a board", LighlWave quickly grew into
something of a legend, (t Is a 3D modolling and rendering package split into two
main sections; the modeller and the layout screens.
In the modeller, a range of advanced toots including taper, shear, bend and so
re can be used to create 3D objects in stunning detail. It is here that certain parts

animations are created and the final image produced. The reason Lightwave is a
"must have" is the extreme ease with which animations can quickly be built up and
previewed in real time using a system so elegant and easy to use Ihat making an
aircraft go through a complex sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres, something at
which one would baulk using other packages, is a complete doddle. Coupled with
the program's excellent photorealistic output and speed of rendering, this ease of
animation puls Lightwave ahead of any package in Its price range, and many
beyond it.
For years, Lightwave has run only on machines equipped with the Video Toaster,
a combination of chroma- keyer, switcher, and video mixer which, though superb,
has never appeared In a PAL-compatible form. Years of staring at US images and
animations with green eyes and a grim smile are about tq end with the release of
LighlWave 3.2, so il you haven't got the message yet, don'l worry - you soon will.

Dynamic Motion Module
01 all the modern 3D features found in
Lightwave, one is conspicuous by its
-""i:nce; dynamics. This is the name given
i : a program s ability to take real world attrib-
tes and forces such 4 s mass, gravity, wind
elasticity into account when rendering a
tone, The Silicon Graphics machines can
do it, and so can Flea! 3D v2, so why no!
LghtWave?
Positron Publishing decided I hat it was
*'gh hme they added such features lo
UghtWave, and the result is their Dynamic
M stion Module. Installing to the same directo-
%■ as LigihtWave. DMM is designed as an aid
to layout: firs! load a scene created in
l jhtWave ihen add the magic ingredient.
Each olherwtse ordinary object in the scene
can be assigned a mass, initial velocity, and
- aslicity, and can be set 10 be affected by
*-nd and gravity.
The DMM user is then able la- roll a bowl-
hg ball at a collection of skittles and have
‘ -rn career and bump around as they would
i#i*n load thm tewn# rn*9
shtWovo tot fen-donng. $rmp|»
in real life wilhout every motion having to be
set manually, DMM takes care of collisions,
bounces, gravity and so on to produce a very
believable real ■world reaction ta the effects of
olftEr objects and global forces like wind and
gravity.
When the scene is completed to Ihe user's
satisfaction it can be saved out again as a
standard LightWave scene for later use in the
layout section. The resulting scene appears
much mere lifefike thanks to the invisible
hands of those real-world forces we experi-
ence every day of our lives but lake lor grant-
ed.
Simulating Ihe action of a cue ball hitting a
triangle of reds on a snooker table would take
an age using keyframe animation, but with
DMM it is easy. Just set the mass and elas-
ticity of ihe balls (you can do Ihis once and
copy the attributes to the other balls), and the
Initial velocity of ihe cue ball, then sit back
while DMM does ail the work.
The program's only real limit is that colli-
sions are only delected where a point collides
with a polygon which olten means that
objects have to be given extra points in the
area of the expected collision, but this is e
small price to pay for DM M's performance.
Again, previews can be very slow to gener-
ate,. as can the tinal scene data from the in-
progress work file, but the results are worth
the wait,
As angular velocity (rotation), drag factor
and elasticity can be set for each object at
the beginning of a scene, it should theoreti-
cally be possible to set up any kind of real-
world go 1 1 is ion you like before saving the
scene to Light Wave. Any senous animator
will want to get Ns or her hands on this soft'
ware as soon as possible.

FEATURE
Wave Writer
Despite LightWave‘s excellent use of
PostScript Type 1 fonts to produce
smooth spline-based, rendered text,
the use of fonts in the program is a little
limited. In response to Ihis, DBA Unli
Graphics have produced Wave Writer,
a program dedicated to the sole (ask of
producing three dimensional text for
use in Lightwave scenes,
The program has an easy-EQ-use
interface and a simple approach to its
task, bul there are plenty of options
lurking below the surface. Users can
add text by default as (he usual hori-
zontal lines, but they can also fit the
text to an arc of a user-delmed degree,
pin lext lo a sine wave, write it vertical-
ly, rotate the letters at varying angles,
and all this in any one or more of Ihe
three axes.
Carrying oul this sort of operation in
Lightwave would of course bo possi-
ble, but much more time consuming.
Wave Writer takes (he lime and the
tedium out ot the process, and is there-
fore ideal for those who create a lot of
flying logo-style am ms.
En addition to creating the text
cbiects. Wave Writer can be use to add
bevel elfecls and set the basic attribut-
es of Ihe various surfaces on each let-
ter, so by the lime a piece af text is
loadad into UghtWave it can be ready
to use straight off ihe bat,
Fauly close control is offered over
scene settings such as the number of
tights used, their type, position, colour
and intensity, and the same with back-
drop colour. When saving from Wavo
Writer, ihe user saves all these settings
in a scene file which can be loaded lor
instant rendering in LightWave.
Wave Writer is a fairly specialised
package and perhaps no! for all
LightWave users, but those who make
extensive use of lext, whether lor cor-
porate logo or general animation work,
would be weir advised to give tt a whirl.

Surface Pro
This is one of those packages which,
like Essence for imagine users, can
transform the look and (eel of any ren-
dered image. Surface Fro is a collection
of pra-delinedl surfaces mostly based on
images supplied with the package and
augmented by various scene and object
files to demonstrate their use.
OK, so what? You can create your
own surfaces after all, so what's differ-
ent about this I6l? Well, anyone who has experimented with
creating a new surface from scratch in Lightwave will know just how tedious the process can
be and how much lime and effort is requited to get something looking just right.
Surface Pro takes all the work out of this by offering 60 surfaces, all high quality, and all using seamless images
so that when tiled the edges don't show. To use them you just load them up and slap them on an object.
Particularly impressive are the work-a-day surfaces such as wood and brick, flagstones and so on. but there era
also enough spaces hip textures to keep Trek fans happy, . _ , .
Apart from a bit ol editing here and there to set scale and orientation to the proper levels for each object, Surface
Pro surfaces work well and they work instantly. However, they can be even more useful with jusl a bit of messing
around.
As most surfaces use seamless images to create their effects, the use of texture velocity settings can give ani-
mated fire or water without daft gaps appearing, and mixing some of the high quality image maps supplied with lha
package can have interesting results, , „ . _ .. ,
Whether used as a bank of stock surfaces or as the starting point for experimentation, Surface Pro can add new
life to animators’ work.
Shareware bonanza
Where do I start? The existence of a
vibrant Lightwave community in the USA
also ensmes the existence of a huge base
of freeware and shareware objects,
images, surfaces, scenes and just about
everything else I he new Lightwave owner
could want, much of it available through
bulletin boards or shareware libraries.
One collection which stands out ter clos-
er examination is that put together by
Thomas Dawson and currently doing the
BBS rounds under the name TDTXTR.Iha.
This compilation of four reflection maps,
two bump maps, and 19 surfaces has
obviously had time and loving attention
lavished on it by its creator and the quality
shines through.

Tom's textures are well worth a download editing is required to get the most from
or a phone call to a shareware library.
Most impressive of all is the fire texture m
which uses simple techniques not unlike ^
* some of the surfaces, but they are inven-
^ live enough to provide food for new ideas
**■ as we || as being ready for instant use,
Commodore s future shape may still be in flux, but
one thing is certain : NewTek are going trom strength
to strength. With the opening of another huge market
in the form of Britain and Europe, Lightwave is sure to
confirm its place as the premier desktop rendering
and animation system,
PC snobs can waffle all they like about the charms
of the over-priced, over-dinky 30 Studio, but for func-
tionality, ease of use, features and price point
Lightwave simply has no match, RoboCop, Star Trek
TNG The Movie, Star Trek VI, SeaQueSl DSV, and
Babylon S are just the beginning, and as the ultra
expensive world of videography and special effects
wakes up to the potential of a Lightwave system used
either as a modeller or as a rendering system with the
Raptor card, you can expect to see Amiga outfits vie
with the mighty Industrial Light and IVtagic for a slice
of the big screen pie.

ong have l wished for some way lo
I; beef up my Amiga 3QOOT s anima
tion capabilities. I bought a Picasso
card, but all hough \ could display
pretty pictures in all their 24-bil glory,, t still
. v-dn't gg-t them lo move.
But now there is a shareware program
tailed Main Actor, a sort ol ADPro tor amma-
ters hut a lot cheaper.
Main Actor follows AD Pro's principles of
Loaders and Savers quile closely, with direc-
■'jTies lor Anim_Loaders/_ Savers and
: c Lcaders/_5avers.
Also, like ADPro, MainActor has Universal 1
Raiders for automatically sensing the type of
m atig-n or picture to be loaded
One importan! poinj to note aboul
MainAclor's Universal loaders is that they
come in several flavours to support the best
* mown graphics boards,
Thus there is a UniversaLRetma loader, a
JniversaL_Picassoll loader and one for (he
Merlin ca rC |. An EGS loader has yEl to be cre-
ated, but il is on the aulhor's To-Do-Llsl,
The reason for separate loaders for these
boards is that, unlike the Amiga graphics
. r-iipsat, these cards use the same sod of
graphics chips that are used in high-end VGA
cards, and are thus morn suiled lo chunky
pot el animations (see bojtout).
in lad, irying to play a normal ANIM- 5 ani-
- ation fhal took ten seconds lo play back on
Ihe Amiga took nearly 13 minutes to play
back on the Picasso!
MainActor supports several different ANIM
■ rmais from AN IMS lo ANIM9. as well as
. i'der variants such as ANIM3 and ANIMJ. In
common with dariSSA, animation palettes
can change from frame lo frame which cer-
•ainiy will help animators on a limited colour
budget.
Other animation formats MainActor
Do shareware!
The author of MainActor has decided
to make 11 a shareware package rather
than a commercial offering, although it
is good enough lo be one.
As it comes from your local PD
library, MainActor is not crippled in any
way. You can still create, convert and
play back animations in various for-
mats, taut as you save an anim you will
get a requester appearing every five
frames asking you to register your
copy.
This, to my mind. Is the fairest way
of ensuring registration of a shareware
package, because although you might
think that having a requester pop up
every five frames Is no big deal, if you
have a 350-frame animation to save it
will be popping up often enough to get
you realty frustrated,
I know a lof of people complain
about registering shareware, especially
when It is of foreign origin, but it really
isn't that hard. And in MainActor's case
1 1 is definitely worth it.
Hh
antics
supports consist mainly of Types best-known
on the PC, including DL, FLl r FLC and AVI.
DL is a pretty old format, bul there are
thousands of FLI and FLC format anims
available in the Public Domain. AVI is a much
newer format developed by Microsoft, mainly
To enable movies to be played in a window on
The screen,
The AVI format has several different
favours, taut as yet MainActor can only load
8-bit AVIs and canT copo with the sound-
mack.
Still animations are a —
thing of the past —
(RainRctar brings life and —
meaning to gour screen, —
Frank Hard explains how —
SAMPLES
Talkmg of sound, MainActor has the ability
lo attach an IFF sample to each individual
frame of your animation, Nolhing could be
simpler. You just tell MainActor which Irame
to attach the sample to, which channel to play
it through and that's it.
MainActor then creates a file called ami Mr
NAME.snd where ANIM NAME is the name of
your animation, and then whenever you use
MainActor or MainView - Ihe standalone
anim viewer - to show your animation, it
automatically plays Ihe sample for you,
The one slight difficulty is that only the path
and name of the sample is kept with the
anim, which means that you might have
rn earn* you r*
wondering
how big
thorn* E Mtaa
from
from* to
(h»*n.
problems if you move your samples drawer.
Crealing an animation n MainActor from
Single Frames is a very easy process . Just got
all your frames generated by, say. Imagine or
Lightwave, set your loader type lo Picture
and IFF, hlrthe load button and get the entire
picture list, Then choose Select AH from the
menu and choose your animation savor type.
If you are creating an anim to be played
back on the Amiga select one of Ihe ANIM
formats, and if you wanl to give your work to
a Friend with a PC or graphics card, choose
FLI or FLC. Then just hit Save.
MainActor will ask whether you want a

Playback speeds using this Picasso formal
are very impressive and the quality is out-

A 350-lrame anitn t created as a 256

bad for all those extra colours!
One of the bugbears wilh animation is nor-
mally having to either draw or render heaps
more frames if you want your animation to
pause for a white an a particular frame.
With MainActor this isn't necessary. You

Are qour animations
rhunhu enough?
When the Amiga was first dreamt up, rts designers
saw fit to use a bitplane method of screen representa-
tion. That's to say, your four-colour Workbench
screen is made up of two bitplanes and the combina-
tions of the two bilplanes give four different colours.
This is an extremely cost-effective way of doing
things when the colour count is low, say up to 32
colours (which is five bitplanes). Any more than that
and things realty start to slow down, which is obvious-
ly not acceptable for animation (or a dacont operating
system, for that matter).
Tha originators ol tha VGA standard on the PC
decided to go another route and head straight for a
256-colour screen formal. Now, as we all know, 256
colours can be represented by eight bitplanes, but it's
fairly stow as anyone with an AGA machine who has
tried 1C run their Workbench In that many colours has
found out.
If 256 colours is eighl bitplanes, then each pixel on
the screen could just as easily be represented by a
single byte (or eight bits) r rather than representing the
whole screen as eight rather unwieldy bitplanes.
This has advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, it
means that a two-colour chunky pixel screen is as
slow as a 256-CQlcur one, and that it’s a lol harder to
do things like parallax effects or scrolling, But by the
same count it is a lot easier to do stufl like scaling and
rotating.
The advenl of the CD32, with its Akiko chip respon-
sible for converting chunky pixel information to bit-
planes, should mean that sometime in the future we
should sea Amigas capable of dealing with both sorts
of graphics easily.
onds.
This isn't possible with Ihe PC anim for-
mats as they don’t have a provision tor time-
coding, but it works just fine with all the ANIM
variants and the Picasso formal.
PLAYBACK
Once you have made all these amazing
256-colour anims, you might look at the fils
sizes and notice lhat you don’t actually have
enough PAM to load them back into
MainActor and play thorn back. You can’t
even play them back through MainView.
What next?
Well, MainActor has a facility to play anims
back from hard disk, It mighl not ba a perfect
solution bul how else are you going to play a
40MB animation?
And as a matter of (act, MainActor is no
slouch when it comes to playback from hard
disk. With most of the animations t have cre-
ated, playing back from hard disk still gives
me about to frames per second on average.
MainActor has a host of olhar little features
mart you might not nonce at first because of
its amazing ability to make all these anims
from your stills, but the fact that you can have
up to live animation projects open at any lime
is a boon, as is Marn Actor’s ARexx interface,
In lerms of Information gathering,
MainActor provides you with a size and Ume
profile To help fine tune your anims. The size
profile shows graphically just how large each
frame of your animalron is. while (he lime pro-
file shows where potential problems might
lurk in the time taken to decode each frame
of the animation.
Any black bars in this graph show lhat
those frames are taking too long to decode
and noed to have changes made.
In conclusion, I would say that MainActor is
probably the best piece of software to go on

The CES event was an open arena for
ill involved in the gaming industry to
how their creative muscle. Aside from
ihe games software houses, there were
oienty ot other companies trawling the
show for business. Their products tend
o be a little more generalised in so far as
ey are targeted at multiple platforms.
They say image is everything and when
? comes to gaming software, nothing
Quid be further from the iruth. In fact,
he graphics have become such a critical
part of the game design process that
there are companies out there who either
sell purpose-built equipment or provide a
-.tv ice that caters for the game player's
i hirst for graphic perfection.
Two such companies include Alias
Research Limited end Wavefront. Not
jnly were they represented hy a phalanx

res had set up shop on the floor end

bound audiences, with the aid of their
Jnix-based Silicon Graphics Indy work-
stations. Within seconds the overhead
screen was tilled with skeletal images
being rotated, flipped, squashed and
blown up, all at the flick of the wrist and
press ot a button.
This graphics manipulation technology
has been around a while, but now with
the addition of ray tracing, surface textur-
ing and surface texture Interaction, new
dimensions in graphics' development are
now being realised.
First the designer will create the skele-
ton of the object they have visualised.
Once deemed gameworthy, the skeleton
will be given the digital equivalent of
tendons.
These are very similar fo human
design, in which the middle ot one 'bone
is joined lo the other via a line (tendon).
This technique is important, for it dictates
how the sklnAexltire covering a join will
flex and move.
With the tendons now in place, next
comes the skin. Several more quick
clicks and button presses instantly cover
Ihe entity with a fresh coat of new. life-
like skin.

tion of The Fli ntstones - keep an eye out for Dine.
Ever wondered what it would realty reel like to be on ihe receiv-
ing end of a 10,000 watt laser discharge. Now you can buy devices
that not only help you beat up your on-screen opponent, but will
happily beat you up too. Aura Systems Inc, taking the virtual reality
concept to the extreme, have come up with virtual pain (although
not quite so virtual).
A device that wears like a ruck sack enables the plays r to feel

(just a little proud), it was good to wit-

As tor software, there is a wealth of PD
disks lhat offor a wide selection of program*
and utilities on a single CD. Unfortunately
most of these disks are poorly put together
and in tests carried out, many of she pro-
grams crashed when run.
CD3£ also offers a groat deal of softwarp
although any that rely on I he internal ham-
ware specific to CD32 will not work. Them is
no auto bool option for disks, so running

cient with AmigaDQS.
The fact that the disks do not auto bnn|
moans that the contents ol game disks can
be easily accessed and copied to a hard

SEPTEMBER 1994
— jimnxB
I'd like to utter a few
words concerning
Commodore and their
future. Let's start with
the hastes, will there
be one?
Looking abruptly
away from Commodores corporate capers
- which are worrying indeed - what are
they doing lo keep the Amiga afloat?
Their move of discontinuing their PC man-
ufacturing was just a smoke screen
wasn r l it?
After all, Ihey don't really need it when
they’ve got the Amiga department - which
can be set to making PowerPCs running
WindowsNT - do they? Ai the very least,
Apple kept System 7 as the main OS of
their PowerM ACs and left Windows as a
software option.
“We're developing a chip of our own" Mr.
Pleasance blurted - ha! I’ll bet you what-
ever you’ve got, CBM's thrown a few nick-
els into Intel's and IBM's joint PowerPC
project, That would certainly fit in with
the “olher well known companies" he
spoke of.
So, when the new Power Amiga
arrives next spring, it looks like
Commodore's about to loose at least one
user.
I don't want a PC and I never wanted
one. Tell you what, if CBM’s dropping The
Amiga OS and all the other things that
make the Amiga unique and i he greatest -
if overpriced in the higher range - all-round
computer ever built, why nol let me lake
care of the bits they abandoned. I'll do il,
no charge.
As far as the Amiga’s future is con-
cerned there's still no fresh news at this
stage - check the news pages for late
breaking info.
But essentially the ball Is in the buy-
ers court, in my opinion the best possi-
ble outcome would be for the new own-
ers to licence manufacture of the Amiga
to anyone wilting to subscribe to a fran-
chise deal.
That way development could continue
courtesy of the revenue generated, the
word would be spread far and wide,
third-party developers would be
inspired, and the machine would finally
How Swede i
be given the opportunity lhat the PC
has enjoyed since day one.
The ability for anyone with the means
to build PCs Is the only reason that this
particular technological dinosaur has
attained and maintained its position as
the most widespread computer platform
on the planet.
As for your concerns about Windows
NT, l think you're slightly confused,
According to our
sources, Windows NT
is going to be an
option and not a com-
plete replacement for
the Amiga's own OS.
As for your hatred of
other platforms, frankly I
think you're being a little
naive. As Britain may
discover at its cost,
European uninaturalism
Isn’t a viable option
in a rapidly shrinking
world: - and the same is
true in the microcosm
of the computer industry.
The one thing that s kept ihe
Amiga in the minor leagues in a
corporate seise has been it’s inability
to assimilate easily into big business. If
adding support for additional
operating systems can remove this par-
ticular obstacle It can only be a good
thing.
have you ditched a limeless logo for
definitely mid-BOs one?
As for the masthead fm afraid it a
classic case of taste, you don't like
most people do, that’s life! Democra
in action.
However it’s worth putting the ques-
tion of design into contort. The end
redesign of Amiga Computing wa
achieved in less than a month
Something which in my opinion was
near miracle.
Personally I think the men respons-
ible, namely Tym Lecky - our resided
art editor - can't be praised hlghl
enough. I suggest you glance around
the magazine and count the number
unique design elements - the ESF
logo being a classic example - then
ask yourself was this petty criticism
really Justified,
flnnoqing aduerts
H readers opinion
Concerning the new layout; so you've
replaced the coloured boxes with coloured
frames and added a few connecting lines
(would you believe, I first thought that
you'd included an electronics CAD pack-
age on the disk?) Fine with me, but why
I know that advertising makes a ma&
component of Ihe stuff that flows through
a magazine's veins, but do you real y
warn any part with people whose ads sa
things like;
“Women should stay in Ihe k itch an"
and here's a manual on how to gel 'err
back in there. "How to gat a one night
stand." "Better gel some muscles kid" cr
"Hey, get hold of our totally opaque
shades, with flashing tights on the
inside - recommended by the Playboy
magazine "
These dubious messages are obviously
created by people who have stereotyped
Amiga users as pimpled teenagers who
say a prayer to plumber Mario
every evening before hanging up their
anoraks. I for one don’t feel worthy of
I am writing this letter to you because I far one would like to see a tutorial on
Blitz Basic 2 In your magazine.
Other magazines have had tutorials on Blitz Basic 2 but they wore
on how to make games. What about Ihe other side of
programming like application programs such as the one on last month's
magazine PhonetL
I know there are a lot of readers besides me out there who would like to
see a tutorial on applications.
Many would-be applications programmers have turned their noses up at
Amos simply because it is not possible to write programs thal communicate
with the user Ihrough Intuition windows and gadgets.
During my attempls to masler Amos it's become clear chat all the books
are geared towards putting games together. I feel I am the only one trying lo
develop applications.
Why are all books and mag tutorials on M How to put games together?'
Also, are there going to be any books on Blitz Basic 2?
K. Winspear, Hartlepool
Your prayers are answered. In this very Issue we embark on the first of a
six-pad tutorial hosted by Mike MUne and dedicated lo Blitz Basic 2. But
perhaps more importantly, the new series is geared exclusively to the
development of appEicatlons.
As for your Amos comments, iVm true the language isn't particularly
au fait with intuition. However, If you check out last month's Amos
insight you'll discover an add-on for Amos designed specifically to
incorporate elements from intuition into Amos programs.
As for a third-party reference manual for Bllti Basic, I'm afraid the
news isn't quite so good- As far as I'm aware there aren’t any plans,
however the program does have an official UK distributor who may be
able to help. Contact Guildhall Leisure Services onr 0302 890000.

'''T—
waving such propaganda aimed
K*arPs me.
5*slcally I couldn't agree more. But to
se honest there's little that can be done
■ 5m the editorial standpoint.
During my lime with the magazine the
editorial content has always been
, -larded fiercely end has never suc-
-mibed to pressure from advertisers.
As a result the magazine has lost a
et of revenue In the form of ads and
sromotions, With this In mind, it’s har-
Ty fair or correct for editorial to sud-
denly start dictating to the advertising
apartment.
Censorship isn't something to
sprooch lightly, regardless of the
-norai or intellectual arguments. A pos-
able answer would be to abandon our
inciples and adopt an advertorial
preach to fill the pages.
But that ain't going lo happen. So I'm
ilraid you’ll have to suffer the Arthur
Daley's until they realise not all Amiga
users are pre- pubescent sexists.
Freebie or not
freebie.
About the “full price packages" you
include. I can see two options: either leave
them out completely, or do so for a couple
1 monlhs at a time and save up.
Vou’see, we don’t really need crappy,
:*cond, or evep third-rate software like
r usion paint or Cinemorph. It's clear to all
Ql us - or so I hope - that Cover Disk “free-
bies" are jusl a way lo squeeze I ha Iasi
trops of juice out of an obsolete or vasily
nterior piece of software.
1 can bul imagrne how many sales GVP
osl to A5QG in the morphing combat, I heir
effort was truly pathetic and rather compa-
rable with VMorph - written in Amos.
Admittedly there have baan many gems:
Maxip!an4, SBase, Protoxf and
Bars&Pipes2Jr spring lo mind.
This is what we wanl. Even if these two
are old versions (no l don't include B&P
”iere) and Ihe upgrade offers usually avail-
able make less than a diflorence from full
price, it's too' bad the save-up option is
unrealistic.
Truly, the publishers aren't likely to let
lf Q of their premium software, no matter
what you offer them, bul il would certainly
have boon a jolly one.
This loaves us with dropping Ihe "free-
-••es", or carrying on like you've done so
far - mosl likely, since you've got a read-
er's survey to lean back on. Bul at least do
me one favour, Stop lavishing lousy soft-
ware with astounding superlatives, prais-
ing them and rising them, to ihe skies,
stop printing what they sold 13 years ago
and please, once you've had say a
word processor on the disk, don't
coma later with another one which
is of ihe same, or even lowor
standard.

moratorium on commercial software.
Needless to say the response wasn't
exactly enthusiastic - the reason being
the masonry attitude of people like
yourself.
“■ The cause of occasional crap
CoverDisks across all the Amiga
i magazines is punter pressure,
and an almost complete lack of
reader loyalty from the majority
of the buying public,
if we dropped our commercial

f Computing would be transformed
from one of the beet-selling Amiga
magazines to the worst almost

Oft, so you like getting something for

I am trying to follow the tutorial for assembler by Mark
Jackson, bul 1 am no! quite sum what it is I am sup-
posed to do.
Firstly, do I prinl the source code from the cover disk
then type rt in to the assembler that I managed to gel
hold of al the start of this tutorial, or can I load the
source code from the coverdisk directly into my assem-
bler? I have tried this but I just get a lot of jumbled
letters.
Secondly, where is the source coda located on the
CoverDisk of June 94 issue?
And for something completely different, the new look
mag. My May issue came with pages 99 to 13Q upside
down and back to front- Now that's what I call a new
look I
MrG Ufootf. Cheshire!
As tor you source code problems there's no rea-
son why you shouldn't be able to load the code
inlo the assembler direct from disk - that's why ft's
there.
However, if you're printing the code first there
could be problems. Like any programming lan-
guage syntax is everything, and if the code is
being reformatted prior to printing there's a good
chance the syntax Is being altered end the subse-
quent program corrupted. Now for a mixture of
good, and bad news. The good news is that you
shouldn't have any more problems with Mark
Jackson’s tutorial - and now for the bad news - as
it's being discontinued.
The reason for this rather drastic step
has bean the unreliability of Mr Jackson.
Although we would fove to continue the
series Mark has already missed one Issue
entirely and has proved impossible to contact ever
since.
However, now for the really good news. As a
replacement tor the assembler column, Paul
D versa kicks off a six part Devpac tutorial.
Unlike Mr Jackson, Paul is a professional jour-
nalist and programmer who's already published a
variety of programming reference manuals through
Bruce Smith Books.
As a result you couldn't be In safer hands. And
better still, Paul has agreed to supply additional
info boxes which should enable the tutorial and
source code to be used on a variety of assemblers
and not just Devpac,
As for the unique design concept of your partic-
ular copy. I'm afraid that's something of a mystery.
If anyone else has suffered the same problem
please get in touch - it could be time to -have a
word with ihe printers.

Workbench worries
I am fairly new to computing and only recently bought myself an A1 200 w4h a
64Mb hard drive. I am extremely pleased with the machine and am feverishly
lapping up y our Amiga DOS tutonai.
My hard drive is partitioned into Iwo drives - Work; and DHO:, I have successfully
dialled Workbench 3 onto irie Work: partition and am now busily installing games to
DHO:
Everything was working beautifully up until Iwo days ago when my Workbench
‘ iCked gp an error requester displaying the following:
Error villdttln) Ifnrktunch
filar* 14142 J wild Cuiet
The hard drive continues to whir for about another two minutes before stopping. I really
don1 kriQw whal has happened but fear | may have broken Ihe hard drive, is there any-
■hing I can da?

I’m glad you are enjoying working with your Amiga and you needn't
w M worry too much about the problem you have described as it is not per-
manent - provided you have the right software to correct it.
The program you really want is Quarterback Tools Deluxe from Centrai Coast
Software. The is an incredible piece of software and has all Ihe functions you will
ever need in order to keep your hard drive heallhy and functioning.
TocA * — ELS tf you want more information an QTD
you can call Meridian Distribution on 081-
543 3500 who will only be too happy to
help you. To avoid further problems such
as validation errors, make sure when you
are copying stuff to and from your hard
drive that copying has finished before you
eject the disk - the F.Disk light will go out
when this has happened

successfully installed IHeimdall 2 AGA

The game toads onto the first screen but
when I move through to the next room I gel

After this the screen goes blank and i gel a

r .. To test this problem t installed

'■■■■- A1200 and although it crashed
my Amiga after installation the game
played okay. The problem you describe
Vet another mined bag of
romputer worms comes
under the surgeons knife in

AMIGA COMPUTING ADVICE SERVICE
could be a clash with your maths co-
processor and it may be wise removing
this and trying the game again.
However, I find the AmigaQQS error
report a little strange. Try checking the
size of the midi dst file which should be
225056 bytes.
If ah else fails your best bet Is to send
Elite hliteG5 out!
I noheed in Ihe CoverDisk pages of a pre-
^ J vious issue of Amiga Computing you
> ware asking people rf they could send in
their votes as lo whether a Blitz Bask: 2
tutorial would be welcome, t have already sent my
vole -yes!
I have had quite a lew problems with Blrtz and
constantly find myself coming up against prob-
:ems 1 can't seem to gat round. The most frustrat-
ing problem at the moment is when combining old
gadgets with the new GadTools. They seem to
work fine at first but crash soon after.
The manual says you can combine the two
together, so i can't be sure if this is an error
in Blitz or a mistake being made by myself. If
there's anyone who can help it would be greatly
appreciated.

news is that ft is a bug In Blitz Basic 2,
This language seems fraught with problems, a
sad fact considering It Is certainly Ihe best Basic
programming language available on the Amiga.
Acid Software are apparently having major prob-
lems with the differences between OS 2 and OS 3
and look likely to support only OS 3.6 AGA users
in the near future. I'm not entirely convinced of
these problems or that they would cause the kind
of bugs Blitz users have had to endure.
The GadTools stuff was a major cock-up and
there are quite a few bugs in this library as well as
In other areas of Blitz. The only answer to your
immediate problem is lo avoid combining old
i
gadgets and the GadTools in the same win-
dow. This means you won't be able to use
ShapeGadgets either.
Sorry I can't be more helpful, but only Add

seem very likely al present,

Installation frustration
| have just finished writing a small pro-
' v ** gram that allows users of Workbench 2
•-!' and above to select a Mnd option in the
Tools menu.
The user selects the find menu option and a
requester appears asking for a file lo locate The
user types in the file name, selects I he device
and clicks okay, at which point the program
searches for a file with the same name as the
one entered.
The program works perfectly and I want to
release it into PD with an option to register for a
newer version.
The program and necessary files are now on
an auto-booting disk hut I am considering a hard
drive installer program so that hard drive users
can copy tha program with the minimal amount
of fuss.
I would really like to use the olficial
Commodore installer bul don't know where I can
get it and hew I should use it. Please could you
shed some light on this program.
J Darin. Barks
The Commodore Installer is a wonder-
.■'jjp. - ful program but Is fairly difficult to
1 £■£ learn how to use. The actual program
■ is called Installer and you can find it
easily enough In the C directory of our
CoverDisks,
However, before you can use the program
you must write a script tile using the dedicat-
ed Installer language. This language Is not
easy to learn and Is certainly not easy to
debug, as it relies heavily on the use of
parenthesis (}.
Before you use the Installer you are
requested to register with Commodore who
will license you lo use the product. We had to
do this at Amiga Computing although we
never received a reply. With the problems
Commodore are having at the moment 1
would Imagine no one would pick you up tor
using it without a license.
The best way to learn the language, if you
haven't got a manual, is to hack through
other developer's Installer script files. You

Surf defector
I know this letter should raally have
been addressed to Ezra Surf but I
am desperate for someone to help
with a problem - bugged Amiga games.
I eagerly awaited the release of Beneath a
Steel Sky from Virgin and as soon as il hil She
store shelves I rushed eul and bought it.
Imagine my horror when I realised il crashes
every five minutes. This game is rendered
totally useless to me due to ihe constant
crashing.
I know t can save the game, but by the lime
I have switched my AtSQQHD off and then on
again, booted the hard drive, located the
BASK drawer and loaded the program my
enthusiasm is severely denied, especially as I
know it will crash in another five minutes.
I also have Brian the Lion AGA which I
have installed on my hard drive after much
frustration, but whan I load it there is no Brian
g raphic - he’s gone.
I have hardly touched this game and feel
very cheated by gangster software houses.
I am desperate for a solution to these prob-
lems. The software houses fobbed me off with
a load of pre- written crap so I am writing lo
you to see if you have any ideas.
K Learner, Cardiff
. v ( i’m sorry you have had such a
poor response from Virgin and
Psygnosis but I’m not really sur-
prised. It surprises me that so little was

rue'll mnue fieauen and earth to help in these columns Hut scum,
ijjp cannot refill person all q, so sane those SFIts
mentioned about the bugs in Beneath a
Steel Sky because on an A1ZOO the game
is a total waste of time and money. The
problem you described is the same prob-
lem I had with my copy and indeed the
System copy.
I'm afraid there isn’t a solution, but in
my opinion ! would be more wary of
Virgin products in the future
l do have some good news regarding
Brian the Lion though. Only a few days
ago a Mr Tim Hart sent me a disk on
which he and his unemployed program-
mer friend (maybe he should be writing
the games) had written a patch for the
missing Brian sprite.
Tim states that the problem is due to
Fast Ram which proves that Psygnosis
simply couldn’t be bothered to test this
product.
ft you send a disk to ACAS marked
Brian Fix, with Tim’s permission I will
sand you a copy. My advice is, be
wary of Psygnosis products as well as
Virgin,
Arm qoiralf!
A friend of mine recently lost a lot of software
due lo a virus that infected his disks and
V - • damaged them. He managed to got hold of
Virus Checker on your GoverDisk and subse-
quently destroyed all the viruses he could at the
expense of many commercial games.
He can't understand how the virus infected his disks
because ha always keeps [hem write protected. Can a
virus infect a write protected disk?
M McCauley. Glasgow
There are only a few viruses I know that
will write themselves to a copy protected
disk. However, there are no viruses that can
attach lo a write protected disk, therefore your
friend can't have protected all his disks.
I can't stress how important it is for Amiga own-
ers to arm themselves with a suitable Virus
Checker - John Veldthuis' being the most up-to-
date checker there is.
There are fewer viruses being written these days
due to the excellent virus killer programs, but
Amiga Computing
there are still a lot of ancient disks floating around
and these may contain viruses. You have been
warned - arm yourself!

+• G
att-Logik's PageStream has come
a. long way The desktop publish-
ing program that started life as a
buggy port of an Atari ST program at
version 1.5, eventually grew into version
2.22, a strong competitor for then-market-
leader Professional Page.
But Soft-Logik wasn't content to try to be
the best on the Amiga - no, they seem to
want to be the besl on any computer.
The forthcoming release, PageStream
3,0. isn't targeted at I he stagnant
Professional Page. No, SofMoglk has its
sights aimed at Quark XPress, the industry
standard desktop publishing program that
runs on the Macintosh and Windows.
That's a lolly goal (or a small. Amiga-only
company to sot for itself. But if the beta ver-
sions of PageStream 3.0 iVs been working
with lor the past tew months are any indica-
tion, ifte full-blown program will give Amiga
users a fool lhal will make iheir Mac- and
Windows-using publishing friends green
with anvy.
PogaStroam 3.G has been delayed quite
a bit from its initial release - I first heard
talk of the program at Ihe World of
Commodore Show in 1992.
As this was written in early July, Soft-
Logik promised they would ship the pro-
gram in early August, so it should be avail-
able by the time you read this,
The initial release will be feature packed
for sure, but (he company isn't going to slop
there. As if a completely revamped inter
face and hundreds of new features wasn't
enough, Soft-Logik has some more ideas
Help and more
PageStream 3.0.0 includes a comprehensive help system that
uses Commodore s AmigaGuide to provide con ten (-sensitive
hypertext explanations of various commands.
Everylhmq's there, from basic operation to full Aflexx com-
mand documentation. There's also an introductory lour
sequence, and a window that pops up when you load the pro-
gram and offers various tips on using PageStream' s fesiures
There are a number of other features in this lotahy rewritten
program that are new lo PageSlream and unique to any Amiga
esktop publishing program
These include revision control numbering, timed saves that
don t interrupt your work, automatic backups, undo and redo
limited only by available memory (another lealure thai by itself is
worth The price of admission), dot leaders, object nudging, and
full support of the Amiga s clipboard.

a few months after the initial release.
At first glance long-time PageStream
users might not recognize the new version.
The familiar floating toolbar is still there, as
is Ihe page layout window.
Bui (here's also a Quark XPress-like con-
text-sensitive edit palette al the bottom of
Ihe screen, a row of control gadgets al the

documents open simultaneously, each in
their own window. In release 3 0, you can
also open multiple windows on a single
document.
This comes in handy in a number of
ways: If you need to move an article From
page three to page 50, for example; or if
you want to view a thumbnail of the current
page al 33 percent magnification while you

lot batter, loo. PageStream now displays
bitmap graphics in full colour, instead of as
a muddy black-and-white outline. Graphics
display in up to 25& colours if you have an
AGA Amiga ora graphics card.

lantaslic on a 1280x1024*256 Picasso
screen on a 1 7-inch monitor,
In addition to supporting higher resolu-
tions, PageStream 3.0 also supports npen-
ng screens larger than the current display,
so you can work on large pages using the
Amiga's ultra -speedy screen scrolling to
move around quickly.
VEIWING
If your page is larger than the current
window, holding down the right Amiga key
and pressing the (eft mouse button turns
the pointer into a hand that you can use to
drag the window around until you're viewing
the part you want to work on. (If you have a
three-button mouse, you can use the mid-
dle mouse button to do this,)
in earlier versions of PageSiream (and all
the other Amiga publishing programs), you
treated your entire document as a sanies of
pages.
This was fine lor short publications that
shared similar formats, but made long doc-
uments that varied in format a pain to
...but the wmit A d* Imm worth it
ere ale - you spent much of your time just
redesigning various pages.
PagoStream 3.0 lets you divide your doc-
uments into chapters, and those chapters
into subchapters. You can have different
format defaults at the document, chapter,
and subchapter levels.
Page-Stream 9.0's master pages feature
lets you create basic page layouts - with
objects like page numbers, headers, and
repealing graphics - and have those lay-
outs automatically repeat for ell pages that
use that particular master page.
Automatic table of contents and index
generation macros further bring
PageStream into the realm of professional
publishing.
Even tittle delails like page numbering
are surprisingly powerful now. You can set
the page numbering system at the docu-
ment level, as well as whenever you insert
a new page.
Chapters can be numbered, you can
defane chapter lengths whether you want
chapters to begin on odd or even pages
and can insert the actual page count as well
- which isn't always the same as the page
number.
mu supports disolaq cl both
Htmap and stmturEd graphs

If you're creating a magazine or newslet-
ter, you'll appreciate the ability to view page
spreads, Just drag two pages together In
the page palette window,
You can not only view the facing pages
but also bleed objects across the pages.
Beth horizontal and vertical spreads are
supported.
As I mentioned earlier, PageStream
S.Onow supports display of both bitmap and
structured graphics in up to 256 colours,
Like earlier versions, PageStream 3.0
imports a wide variety ol graphic formats,
including BMP, EPS, GIF, IFF, MacPaint,
PCX, Professional Draw, and TIFF-
New to itiis version is the ability to export
graphics as well. You could import a GIF
picture into your document and save it out
in PCX format,
When placing bitmapped graphics on the
page, you can toll PageStream to ignore
the background, allowing you to automati-
cally Mow text around irregularly shaped
bitmapped pictures,
Some Encapsulated PostScript (EPS)
images have preview images encoded in

Amiga Computing
SEPTEMBER 1094
SOFTWARE
m
Under construction
This preview was based on a late beta-teal version of the program,
so (here's always the chance that some features could change at
(he last minute and new features might be added before the
program ships.
The manual was in the final editing stages when we went to
press; Soft-Logik promises it’ll be the best manual they ve done yet,
with five tutorials, thorough topic coverage, and a complete index.
We'll take a hands-on look at the manual and the other features
included in the shipping version of PageStream 3.0 in an upcoming
issue ot Amiga Computing,
Ihem in TIFF (PC) or PICT (Mac) formats -
PageStream can display bolh of these pre-
view formats.
Unlike mosl programs, PageSiream not
only lets you display, reside, and crop
graphics, but edil them as well.
Outline graphics formats can be altered
using the built-in drawing tools; bitmaps are
sent using the builHn HolLinks protocol lo
the bundled BME graphics editor,
BME is greatly improved over the initial
release which was pad of the now-included
HotLinks Editions package. The new ver-
sion supports colour display, has sophisti-
cated AHexx capabilities, and does a great
job automatically tracing bitmapped images
and saving them in outline formats.
The beta version I tested didn't indicate

any plans to add support for JPEG graphic
import and export, which is the only sane us
omission in PageStraam's graphic support.
If you’re going tp be creating professional
colour output, you'll appreciate Page-
Streams support for PAMTQNE process
and solid colours.
SUPPORT
You can specify the angle and frequency
for individual pictures and for each plate.
PageStream supports user-definable trap-
ping (spreads and chokes) for objects, and
you can choose whether lo overprint or
knockout a particular ink.
PageStream supports Preferences print-
ers, but includes custom drivers for Hewlett-
Packard, Epson. Canon, and PostScript
printers for better results.
Dozens of PostScript Printer Description
(PPD) files are included, so PageStream
can taka full advantage of your printer or
imagesetter's capabilities.
Industry-standard PPD files are used
so il you purchase a new model printer
you can use the PPD file included for use
on a PC or Macintosh, You can also out-
put your pages as EPS files Of bitmap
graphics.
Along with the ability To load and convert
PageStream 1 and 2 documents,
PageStream 3.0 also supports loading
documents in Professional Page 3 and 4
formats.
Gold Disk has suspended development
of Amiga products, so Soft-Logik wanted
to olfer ProPage users the option to
upgrade lo a still-supported program, with-
out losing access to all their old docu-
ments, To aid in the transition,
PageStream 3.0 includes an AmigaGuide
help document that lists Professional
Page commands and their PageStream
equivalents.
PageStream 3.0 supports the original custom
PageStream font format, as well as Compugraphic
and PostScript Type 1 font formats.
Unlike Professional Page, there's no practical
limit lo Ihe size of fonts you can usa in your docu-
ments. (PageStream 's size limit for Compugraphic
fonts Is 50,000 points - lhat's 57 feet tall!)
Along with the usual text styles such as bold,
underline, and italic, PageSiream also supports
generation of small caps and reversed text.
A particularly neat addition 10 version 3,0 is con-
figurable styles. You can change the colour, thick-
ness, and style ol an underline, for instance.
Text characteristics are configurable as well. If
you want to create a garish headline font with a
three-point-thick outline and an orange-red
gradient fill, PageStream will let you do it.
PageStream 3.0 should ship with approximately 50
fonts.
Widow and orphan control lots you keep para-
graphs from being split across columns, or make
sure that a certain number of lines at Ihe beginning
or end of a paragraph are kept together.
Conditional breaks protect a section of Text from
being broken across two columns. This is useful
for keeping headlines from being separated from
their articles.
Various character-level improvements can make
your lexi look a lot better. You can enable auto-
matic ligatures, which can merge characters to
create smoother-looking combinations.
PageStream 3.0 can convert dashes and inch-
mark quotes into en- and em-dashes and smart
quotes automatically when you import rest.
PageSiream supports placing text in defined
frames on the screen, but it also lets you lype
freeform on the page. Frames can now contain
more than one column of text, This makes chang-
ing page layouts much easier if you discover you
need to increase or decrease the number of
columns on a page.
Just select ihe frame and change the columns
setting - this is a lot easier than redrawing column
guides on the screen and relinking and fallowing
text boxes.,
Also, if you resize a frame, Ihe columns
contained within are resized as well. Frames don't
have lo be boxes, either - PageStream lets you
draw any shape using its drawing tools and flow
text into it.
When you're editing large amounts of text you'll
appreciate the fact that Soft-Logik is now bundling
ihe PageLiner text editor with PageStream. It won't
replace your word processor, but il beats trying to
edil on Ihe page layout screen.
The initial release of Page Stream 3.0 will import
text from mosl popular Amiga word processors,
including Final Writer, WardWorfh, WordPerfecl,
and Pro Write.
Although the formats may not be included at ini-
tial release, Soft-Logik hopes to add support tor
popular PC word processor formats such as
WordPerfect 5.0 and Word for Windows,
This will make life easier tor newsletter editors
whose authors send in their work on PC disks. The
word processor filters now support both reading
and writing, so you'll be able to use PageSiream.
lor example, to convert text (rom WordPerfect lo
Final Writer format.

the ability to be

previous purchases.
So many mistakes are made by com-
promising and buying a cheaper alter-
native that ends up getting sold later. It
is better to wait a lew months until you
can buy the item you need, that is of

to buy there and then.
Another common problem area is
monitoring. Do not buy cheap speakers
and a cheap amp - it gives you a false
representation of the music and subse-

A big studio wilt have very large
speakers and a small cheaper pair as a

decent amount of the overall budget for
good monitoring,

would like, buy a good set of head-
phones for around CfQO to E150 lo
cover you for Ihe short term. These will

recording at night and checking the
mix.

around Ihe Amiga 4000-30 in conjunc-
tion with Bars & Pipes pro 2.5 and Lhe
Sunrise Studio 16 hard disc recording
system.
However, most of the advice included
is applicable for smaller Amiga selups.
right down lo Ihe now humble A50CK
The choice ol B&P pro as opposed to
KCS 3.5 or Music X is based on my
experience in using ail three systems.
Of all Ihe systems I have used, and this
includes Atari and Mac-based systems.
B&P pro is the most powerful by far.
If l had the space I would tell you why.
but 1 do-n t so I won’t - here comes the
first mailbag.
I have put together four systems, in
most cases a progression on the previous
HD 250 linear 2 or Ihe HD S60 Ovalion
2. though once again you should use
your ears.
I would also recommend buying a
separate keyboard controller ralher
than a keyboard with a sound source
built In- Initially it may seem more
expensive, but normally the big key-
board synths are not the greatest con-
trollers and if something should ever
go wrong wilh the keyboard, you have
lost both
There are loads of Keyboard con-
trollers available but at the lower end I
would recommend the Roland PC200
as a reliable controller for about E2D0 -

your first insirumenl should be a

will involve hav-
mg to get a '

fairly cosily. So \
the first instrument
will need to last a

afford the next stage.
2. If your second instru- Vk i

Proteus i or a Roland RS

also need to buy effects
units. Once again you
will ideally need to
buy a good quality

PLANNING
Yet another rule is to give yourself a
long-term plan, Create your system so
that you can huild «t in stages. Draw a
map ol the llnal long-let m studio
from here you should be able to decide
ihe order of buying I have given below
an example of such a plan, but first
here arc a few Ups

mixer, but the moment you buy a sec-
MUSIC
a 68040.
3. When you buy a milter you may only
envisage needing six inpuls (three
stereo inputs) plus two band EQ and
maybe two effects sends for that K7 or
SPX 990. However most people, when
setting up a studio, end up having
between three and four instruments and
at least two effects units.
In theory Ihe six input mixer seems
okay. However, if you have a good drum
machine you will want to EQ each
sound individually, i.e. cymbals snare,
bass drum etc, so you wilt use the indi-
vidual outs of the drum machine, which
will have up to eight outputs - the same
applies to the synths. An example is
listed below:
Rfl drum machine - eight outputs;
TGSOO - six outputs; Korg Q5W - two
outputs
Total Inputs needed = 16
So once again we have to plan ahead
This will, at limes, make ihings seem

A, It is very important to decide what
your musical aims arc. If you are build-
ing the studio around songs, you will
have to choose a mixer capable of han-
dling tape returns to go to the Sunrise
board or at least calculate the inputs
needed including the Sunrise option.
A typical mixer of this type would be a
Mackie 8 bus mixer, which range from 16
inputs to 32 inputs, and have eight
record sends. These motors are expen-
sive for the home studio, going up to
£3999 for the 32 input desk,
However, if you want to produce
music thal does not need live recording,
then perhaps something like the Yamaha
01 Promix would be more applicable,
giving 16 inputs with three band para-
metric EQ, two dedicated effecls units,
three compressor/li miters and full midi
controlled auiomation (£1699 inc VAT).
These prices may seem expensive.
but if your synths are costing up to and
around £1000 and are of excellent
sound quality, doesnT il make sense not
to degrade them with inferior mixers
I hat may add noise.
That said. Mackie do make a superb
16 input mixer for £699 celled the 1604
and if has an automation upgrade sup-
ported by Bars 4 Pipes pro 2.5b, but on
the down side the automaton does add
a lot of noise. Anyway back to Ihe plan.
Below is the basic plan in five stages.
Each of these five stages is sub-
grouped with suggested instruments,
effect units, speaker options etc:
1. Your Amiga, B&P pro. Sunrise Board
and leads etc.
2. Synth 1, headphones, controller key
board.
3. Synth 3 and 3, mixer, effect unit 1,
microphone (optional),
4. Good speakers and amp maybe
another synth. OAT recorder (optional).
5. Effect unit 2 maybe 3, single-ended
noise reduction, graphic EQ
In turn this should be accompanied
by a diagramatic of the current section,
with the Inclusion of the previous
stages and a financial plan and budget
of each section.
It is important to read as many
reviews as possible to give you a gen-
eral idea of what to look for. However,
reviewers do not always get it right, so
at the end of the day trust your ears.
Stage tiuo - part three of the plan
impossible, bul if you go in blindfolded
you will simply have to sell some of
your equipment al a large loss, making
the overall plan all the more difficult to
achieve.
As mixes gel bigger EQ is needed
more and more to make different bits
stand out against olher bits, I recom-
mend a minimum of three band EQ ide-
ally, with mid sweeps {what the hell is a
mid sweep I here you cry, well believe
me If I had the space 1 would explain it.
however all I can say is you neod if -
trust me).

This Is the really heavy bit - lots of cash needed here. You should choose one of
the mixers highlighted below, along with one of the effect units listed.
I have also put down a few suggestions on second synth modules. You could
of course pick an instrument from ihe list in stage one. However, try to buy a dif-
ferent make of instrument than the one purchased in the earlier stage.
Individual makes tend to have their own sound, i.e. most musicians can tell an
EMU Proteus sound or a Roland sound-
You may wonder why I recommend only one low -cost microphone. Well ds
simply because it stands out as particularly good value against the rest, though
olhers, such as the Shure 5M57/SM5B, might suit you better for stage work
Mackie 1202 4 Mackie 1604: these mixers are extremely good value and will fit
most peoples needs. They are true sludio quality and in the case of Ihe 1604 It
offers 16 line inputs, three band EQ, six studio quality balanced XLR micro-
phone inputs and a great multi-functional aux effects system.
The Mackie 1604 has a good EQ but no mid sweeps - however, 1 would still
highly recommend it.
Price: Around £500 for the 1202 and £899 for the 1604.
Mackie 8 bus series; this mixer would be the mixer of choice - however, its cosi
may be too prohibitive tor most home studios. That said, its specification is
astounding in a mixer of this price.
Specification: between 16 and 32 micfffne inputs, lour band EQ with Iwc mid
sweeps, six effecls sends and 12 returns, optional full meter bridge, stunning
noise specification, up to 32 tape returns and a mix B oplion which doubles Ihe
number if inputs on mix down.
The desk also features full in-place solo and individual channel mules, along wiiti
really smooth faders and of course an eight channel recording bus - stunning.
Price: 16 - 6 - 2 = £1 600 approx; 24 - 8 - 2 = £2400 approx;
32 - 8 - 2 = £3500 approx.

Stage one - part
tigg of the plan:
[hanse m if the Following instru-
lerts ir conjunctian with items men-
aned ir the outran system mrnrn
relating to stage one :
irnaha TGSOQ Specification: 64 note
alyphony; 16 pari multMfTnbral: six
jlputs; two multi effects units built in.
ice: RRP £1099, can be purchased for
i $ low as £799.
iniment: Great as a first instrument
>d as part of a bigger set up. As with
most instruments rt will take a while to
arn bow to use, but with 64 note
olyphony it should enable you to put
■■gether multi-timbral pieces without
nmng out of notes.
<org 05W Specification: 32 note
olyphony; 16 part mutti-timbral; two
ulputs; two multi effects units built in.
3 rice: RRP £599,
omnnEnb Excellent sounding half rack
mil with really big sounds. However,
he 05w has only two outputs which
Quid be a bil limiting in the long-term,
[hough as part of a bigger system
would not cause too many problems.
The 32 note polyphony may be a little
miting for those bigger pieces. In
oir»e ways I prefer the sound of ihis
unit to the TG5D0, but the Yamaha
instrument gets ahead on multi-timbral-
ity and the six Outputs and Ihe sounds
ore still very good,
Proteus F X Specification: 22 note
polyphony; 16 part multi-limbral; two
outputs; two multi effects units built in.
Price: £500
Commcni: Wow the proteus - still here,
still cool. This new version, updated
with inbuilt special effects and sounds
from the Proteus 2, has about Ihe best
sound samples around - ideal for reaf
instrument sounds, though it includes
synlh typo sounds as well.
In a big multi-timbral setup it is a fan-
tastic asset, offering a certain realism
to the mix. However, the proteus has a
unique sound and may be a little easier
to recognise when its stand alone.
This said, I have a Proteus 1 & 2 as
part of my set up and would highly rec-
ommend It, They are also the easiest
synth modules to program I have ever
used.
Overall stage one comment; This Sys-
tem is very basic, but gives you a good
base on which to build your studio.
There are, of course, other instruments
worth considering such as the Roland
Sound Canvas and Yamaha TG300.
{Also included in this set up Is the
Roland RC200 and Sonnhoiser HD 560
Ovation 2 headphones).
Stage one budget {excluding Amiga
S&P pro and Sunrise Studio 16 & MIDI

module, a controller keyboard and

Yamaha Promix 01: for the musician who does not need the live
recording flexability of the Mackie, Ihis mixer represents absolute
slate-of-the-ari mixing at an incredibly low price.
I would go as far as to say this is a revolutionary mixer lhal is
going to change
Ihe face of home
studios for ever.
An absolute must
lor anybody who
wants total midi
control over all
mixing parameters
On mix down.
Specification: 16
channel inputs with
six balanced micro-
phone inputs, full
digital internal pro-
cessing and 1 05 db UMcktm jM-w-A ffi# parted
of headroom to
work in. 36-bit three band parametric EQ.
Four effects sends built In, two ol which arc hard wired to two SPX
990 quality effects units all working in full 24-bit. Three dynamics
processors built in. Full motorised faders on each channel.
A digital output lor masiering to DAT. All inputs use 20-bit A to D
converters with 64 times over sampling and 20-bit eight times over
sampling on the way out - in a word gobsmacking.
Price: £1899.
Sony R7 reverb unit: opinions on reverbs vary dramatically but Ihe Sony R7 really
is an excellent unit. Thrs reverb is mcradibly smooth and powerful and is my first rec-
ommendation for a major reverb.
Tho Sony R7 has been overlooked by many people in preference for more estab-
lished manufacturers in special effects, such as Yamaha and Lexicon, However,
having used rt fairfy extensively in the last year, i would say flat it is quieter and
more flexible than other similar-priced unils.
Price: £900 approx.
Lexicon LXP15: a classic reverb sound at a reasonable price. Also included in this
range is Ihe LXP1 . the predecessor lo the LXP15 Either of these would be a good
choice, Ihough they are both nqisiar lhan the Sony.
Pace: Approx £799 for Ihe LXP15; approx £399 for the LXP1 .
Cheaper alternatives- could include Ihe Boss SE7G or perhaps the Alesis range of
reverbs, including the classic Quadraverb.
Microphones: well actually microphone, because I will only recommend one, the
AKG Cl 000s, While (here are many microphones that are better, such as the Beyer
MC74Q, the AKG Cl 000 has the most accurate sound of any microphone under
£600 and subsequently has lo be the overall microphone of choice, JT is great for
vocals, speech, and even acoustic Instruments
Pace: £229 RHP.
Other instruments worthy of recommendation are the Alesis Quadrasynth, Korg
X3R, Roland R3 drum machine and the Ultra Proteus, all of which I do not have
space fo write about.
Price: Wavestatarr SR approx £990; Roland R& approx £499.

Choosing an amp and speakers is
always a difficult thing - should I buy a
Quad, or should il be a Yamaha or per-
haps a Carver, Weil hem goes another
sacred cow.
My choice of amp is based around
two factors. Firstly, the amp does not
need to be extraordinarily powerful tor
the home studio and secondly, it does
need to be flexible and accurate in
sound.
For this reason I have chosen the
Audiolab 800D A amplifier. It of course
can lit-:- used as part of a HiFi sol up,
but more imporlanlly it gives a superb
sonic performance in the home studio
set up - incredibly accurate,
For the speakers 1 would choose the
Alesis Monitor One, a great sound at a
good price point and they are very welt
made.
While these would bo my choice for
a home studio, the more ambitious stu-
dio might look towards ihe Acoustic
Energy AE1, or the low end Gcnelec
speakers.
1 would not on the other hand recom-
mend Yamaha MStOs. They might be
alright as secondary speakers, but
they are unsuitable for main monitor-
ing.

As for any further instruments, I wouli
recommend any Of ihe sound modules
have mentioned earlier. DAT players or
the other hand fall into two categories -
those with 5CMS (Serial Copy
Management System), these are general
1y designed for the home market, ant
those without QCMS. that are primaril
designed lor the pro market.
If you read a lot of HiFi magazines
your opinion might be that DAT is nc
that great - these magazines even sug
geat that it is not as good as CD - wrong
DAT is used for mastering most of th-
CDs you hear today, so that scupper:
that argument, The only thing wrong will
DAT is that it will show up any hiss in the
audio chain, as it is inherently silent.

As for part five of the plan, this really is
'he luxury department. Once again I
would choose one of the effects men-
'ioned earlier, but for critical equipment
vtill needed, 3 would have to recommend
she following items - Symetrix 511 A or
Drawmer DF320 Noise Reduction Units
Boih of these units are absolutely
essential finishing touches to the home
Studio. They are both single-ended
noise reduction systems and subse-
quently do not need any decoding,
unlike Dolby A,B.C and S noise reduc-
tion systems.
Both are fairly easy to use and make a
massive difference to the finished mix,

and control rooms. EG is still needed and
can be great for adding that extra bit of
punch and sparkle. As with the noise
reduction units. I would highly recom-
mend one of These units lo be used at the
end of the recording chain, just before the
DAT player,
Well that's it than - my recommendation
for the perfect home studio (if there is
such a thing). As with ail these items, per-
sonal preferences will play a parr in your
buying decisions, but hopefully this article
will serve as a guideline and, it nothing
else, get you thinking.
No one person's view should be treated
as gospel, so try out these suggestions
and don't listen too much to the salesmen.

fs a regular and unfortunate busi-
ness practice - glossing over the
truth. On the edge of ban kru ploy?
'Never mind, just a setback, sales are
tfcellent, we've achieved record figures
•us year,™
White viewing sales figures publicly
trough rose-tinted spectacles is exception-
ally important for the PR success of any
ndustry, there's always one group of pen*
: 9 who ere left behind in the aftermath of a
'a led company, licking (heir wounds and
wondering what can be learnt from the
ei pensive experience.
This group, a sometimes overlooked and
-"•de rest! mated clan of different genders,
colours and creeds, are the buying public.
B might a CD32 recently? Foaling a little
worried that your hard earned cash might
■ 3 v e been more useful flushed down the
toilet?
When any company sinks into financial
obscurity, it has a knock-on effect through-
out the industry - customers lose faith and
decide that the original nagging doubts
about buying a pricy piece cl hardware
were well placed after all. Subsequently,
they don't want lo invest any more and
everyone loses out.
Gut in Commodore's case, what If you're
a potential buyer of a 1200 and a CD drive -
is it really a wise move to buy one oflhe
company's machine?
What about existing owners? Have they
really waded their money on a computer
with no future? The Devil's Advocale
winged its way down to Ihe company's
headquarters to talk to the UK's managing
director, David Pleasance.
David Pfaaianctr WO of Commodore UK, fhft
flWflfll pprlmift “IV* fc«n ffircjmjfi IMW ftad

With lammodare filing for

what wifi happen to the owe great
lompang. ffdam Phillips talks to
Bauid Pleasance about the
past, present and future
Q After the recent collapse of
Commodore, can 1200 and CD32 own-
ers feel confident in buying future
Amiga equipment and receiving full
support from the manufacturers?
A ! don ‘I think support is an issue because
we do have very good arrangements, par-
ticularly with the likes of ICL who are doing
a iremendous job of supporting our
products.
As we stand at the moment, it is our
belief lhal Commodore will be purchased
as a going concern. Therefore, if anything,
the prospects lor Commodore will be infi-
nitely better than they have been for quite
some time.
Q What do you feel brought about the
downfall of Commodore?
A I believe we should never have gone into
the DOS market and the decision lo get out
of it came after we had had two years of
really losing money I think we needed to
have a more logical and coherent product
development strategy than we had.
By that I mean the launching of products
like the 500+ and 600 virtually on top of
each other were not good decisions. 1 think
it was The general direction of Ihe company
and also the investment made in trying to
enter markets that were not ideal tor
Commodore - these have all contributed to
the position where Commodore losi a lot of
money,
Q Do you feel that Commodore UK
played a part in the company's financial
demise?
A The UK markat for Commodore has
been a profitable operation for several
years now - in fact, one of the most buoy-
ant markets for Commodore. □ unrig peri-
ods of last year and six months of the year
before, the UK branch was Ihe biggest con-
tributor to Commodore wo rid -wide.
So, in terms ol us playing a part, I'd say
definitely not,
Q What are your plans now for
Commodore UK?
A As far as I am concerned, it’s business
as usual, I’ve had the fortune of being with
Commodore for virtually 11 years now and
I’ve boon through some bad limes as well
as good times, I see Ihis as a small hiatus -
it's not a major setback. 1 genuinely believe

Amiga Computing
SEPTEMBER 1994
interview
that si Commodore is purchased il will be
the besl thing far Ihe company, because
there is no doubt that we are now signifi-
cantly leaner and meaner lhan ever before.
If the right partners are involved in
Commodore and are prepared to listen ta
the people in the subsidiaries that have sun
vived. Ihen I think our opportunities and
future prospects are particularly bright.
My personal belief is that the UK compa-
ny is currently in the best shape it's been in
for many years. 1 think we are poised for a
tremendous Christmas period and it really
all depends on getting a company to buy
Commodore as a going concern and to
enhance Che manufacturing facility.
Grvce that happens, I will be very confi-
dent. As far as the personal situation is
concerned, at this moment in time -
foolishly or otherwise - I’m not looking for
other work,
Q Who are the potential buyers for
Commodore?
A There are three or four serious cen-
to ndars. My belief is that one of those is a
dear favounte and it could even be in the
next 40 hours or so. I can’t possibty com-
ment on who it might be - it’s very unfair to
any potential purchaser to speculate
because <1 can definitely have an adverse
etfecl on any negotiations.
The last thing I want to do is upset any
opportunity for this company to be bought
which will therefore secure thB jobs for the
people who work here.
Q Who would you like to see buying
Commodore ideally?
A Me, I can’t afford it, but I would love to
be able to run il though. Ideally, I'd like to
see a company that is in the consumer
electronics business but not in our marker
Ons that has good manufacturing facilities,
good R&D and that has some chan
neis to market.
I think the benefits that any
company would get from the
purchase ol Commodore
are (a) adding a whole
new range Of producls to
Iheir portfolio and (b)
taking advantage of
whal is probably the
best distribution chan-
nel in Europe.
Take the UK alone. If
you walk down Slough
High Slreel - that's len
minutes from here - you'll
find Commodore products in
30 shops. That's the kind of
marriage i would be looking for in
terms of a buyer of tha company.
However, that’s the ideal position and
we may not always gel our ideal situation.
I really believe Ihe Amiga technology is
lar too good and far too well supported to
be lost over the next few weeks because of
a company that's gol itself inlo financial
trouble.

Q If there is a buyer In the pipeline,
how long before 12DQs and 4000s are
back in production?
A They would get back into production
very quickly. I would envisage us getting
supplies in time lor the September season,
There is a pool of products available to the
subsidiaries at the moment - you’ve got
Commodore UK, Germany, Italy and
Scandinavia. Between all of us, we’re look-
ing after all the European cou nines.
We also have a pool of products avail-
able and are selling as and when we need
them. My belief is that we can last until
September when new product supplies
arrive and, ai present, we're taking advan-
tage ot Ihe fact that this is the quiel period.
1 think we'll be okay...
Q How do you feel about the new 1 200
CD Drive? There have been rumours
that you're not entirely happy with the
lack of FMV
A While I'm still not happy about the lack
of FMV. il's something which is technically
not possible to do. The PCG on the 1200
doesn't have the gate array that's on ihe
CD32 PCB, so there is no way of running
full motion video. My concern has always
been that while, at
present, most 1200
owners will say "it
doesn’t matter about
full motion video", 1
believe that as soon as
the first lully-inre mo-
tive game is released
that uses FMV 1 ihe
owners of the CD1200 will lhan say “hey,
this doesn’t work, we're not happy"
Q Do you feel that FlViV-s pacific game
development will be hampered because
of the GDI 200? Why develop for FMV
which is a relatively small market at the
moment when you can develop for both
the CD32 and CD12O0?
A I agree with whal you're saying except
wo already know what is under develop-
ment. I’m certain some companies are
already starting to port their PC develop
ment on lo CD32 because, unlike
mosi Amigas, Ihe machine was designee
to be able to lake the graphics from
a PC and display it in the chunky plana 1 I
mode.
These products under development will
become more and more available, but 1
guess, in some ways, it could be per-
ceived* a drawback lo the developers thai
the CD1200 doesn’t support full motion
video,
I think they will realise that the CD32 is
a big market in its own right and FMV,
even without the interactive games con-
tent. is going to be a huge market.
It's going to be a bigger market lhan the
games market anyway - we believe very
strongly that music video CDs will be an
enormous success,
Q Finally, are there any promises
you’d like to make to existing
Commodore machine owners?
A The only thing we can say to them is
that we are totally aware of the develop-
ment schedule that the software publish-
ers are currently undertaking. Il’s pretty
extansive - between now and September,
there will be 60 more titles absolutely
guaranteed.
This is not just h ear-say like when we
first launched ihe CD32. We’ve actually
seen work in progress and there are defi-
nitely 60 titles coming Out plus an addition-
al 40-Odd FMV titles,
From these products which have been
developed specifically for the CD.
there are some super 1200 products
coming as a direct derivative. I guess the
only promise I can make is lhat the
software support has in no way abated
and I don’t see it abating for quite some
time yet
Thank you for your time.

-Hi
H there h&we been few
lo bring a powerful yet
uage to the Amiga - the
mast widely known being Amos, But up
until now they alt seemed lo have good
poinls and plenty of bad points, such as not
supporting Workbench windows.
Thankfully there is a new competitor on
the scene and although the developers
behind il are not widely known, this new
contender has caused such a stir to (he
extent of being accepled world-wide by
Amiga users with outlets in America.
Europe and Australia.
Because of this, and your response lo
last issue's insert, we are going io bring you
as much support for Blitz Basic 2 as we can
muster, and at tha same time spread a little
light on the rather incoherent yet necessary
manuals,
BASICS
Throughout this tutorial I will be working
on the assumption that you know how to
load up Blitz, load and save programs writ-
ten in Blitz and compile them. If you are
unsure about any of these or have prob-
lems following this tutorial then please write
in.
In this first tutorial I will go through the
basics of programming the Workbench
screen, addressing the subject of screens,
windows, gadgets, menus and events.
The principal behind (he Workbench sys-
tem is a complex system of libraries, mes-
sages, ports, packets and devices. Nearly
everything you program that makes use of
screens, windows, menus or gadgets will In
some way interact with ihts system,
Thankfully Blitz handles all but the simple
things for you, thus allowing you lo concen-
trate on making your program professional
and worthwhile. Lets open a window in our
first program (please refer to ihe Ref
Manual! if you are unsure to the syntax or
use of any of the commands):

then choose the CormpHe/Run option from
the compiler.
Hey presto? Your window 'will appear on
the Workbench screen and wilt slay I here
until you click the left mouse button on the
close gadget!
The first seven commands set up our
program to work in the Workbench screen
without any interference. It does this by
pulling the Workbench screen lo the front of
ihe display and assigns it with a screen
object number (see Chapter 7 of your User
Guide about objects).
After this we make sure that our window
will appear on the Workbench screen by
Selling our program lo use it (note how we

address the relevant screen with its objec
number we gave it earlier!). We are non
ready to open our window (Bee your Ref
Manual P.25-1 lor the synlax!),.
Notice that in the flags parameter we
have pul: S1C0QI$9 The T operator i?
known as The logical 'AND' operator anc
basically acts m the same way as adding
the two values together, i.e.. SlMOISG =
$1 008. All the flags are listed in your Re -
Manual on P 25-2 and you can ‘AND' as
many as you like,
After the opening ol our window, we then
needed to know when the user usee
the close gadget so that we could close
the window and terminate the program
We can determine whether or not the user
has closed our window hy the use of
events.
EVENTS
Events are basically messages sent from
Workbench when a user does something lo
interact with a program, The 'WaitEvenf
command allows us to wait until
Workbench has something to report to us
(fsIB: it is important to remember that the
value returned from Workbench through
'WaitEvenf is a long’ value which is why
we have lo declare ev' as 'ev.IT).
From looking at the event codes table in
the Flat Manual (P.25-5), we can See that
$200 ts returned when fhe user has closed
a window. Therefore we continue looping
until $200 is ratumsd. alter which we can
Close our wmdaw and terminate our
program?
Now that we can open and close a win-
dow let's add some interaction to our pro-
gram - lets do an adding program.
Again we will tirai need to set-up our pro-
gram to run in Workbench and we will also
want a window. So let's use the above
code and add the extra code below to han-
dle all our input and output

This time we cannot accurately find out if
the user has used the close gadget on our
window or no!. This is because the com-
mand 'EditS' holds up your program while
we are getting an input from the user.
During this time all we can do is wail until
the user has hit return, therefore we have
no way of testing whether the user has hit
our close gadget. That's why we also didn't
need to pul a close gadget on our window
(represented by SB).
As you probably know, the above pro-
gram is a simple adding program which
continuously picks up two values from the
user and then prints out tha sum until the
user enters a ‘q\

message to the user and wail for the user
to put In ihe first value.
If you are unsure as to the difference of
the 'N Print* and ‘Print’ commands, the
*N Print* does the same as a ‘Print’ but
returns the cursor to the beginning of the
next line after printing.
Notice Thai in the Ref Manual there are
two 'Edit 1 commands, and that the normal
‘Edit* command is ideal for only accepting
numbers. We haven't used this because we
stilt need lo check whether the user wishes
to quit.
it is easy to do this by obtaining their
input in a siring formal ('Edit®’). Check
whether the user wishes to quit - exit it the
user does - and then, If it is a value, con-
vert it to a number and continue with the
sum. This is why ws have two sals of vari-
ables to hold both the strings and the
numbers.
The 'Forever' in the loop does just as il
says - repeals the loop forever!
It's time lo wrap up this first tutorial But
remember, the only way you are ever
going to be a competent programmer is to
practice, so try playing around with the
window - even try opening two or
three windows (don't forget lo close
them al!F).
Look out for the next issue where I will
explain opening ydur own screen and menu
programmfng to add that professional feel
to your programs,

R brief description
The screen - the scre&n is the very found alien oi the
Workbench display. It acts like Ihe draw ng board for air your
visible operations which the user will see. The screen is used
to display all your windows and gadgets, without which there
would he no display.
Unfortunately screens are not very flexible. They can only
be pushed to the back of the display* but are nonetheless
very important,,
Blitz allows you to make one of three choices when pro-
gramming screens - use Ihe Workbench screen, open your
own screen or grab someone eise's.
Once you have done one of these you will have a screen
number assigned to that screen which can then be used to
reference il tor your various operations.
Tfie window - although you can use a screen to do ell your
input and output on. the window is the much preferred friend
of the system programmer, This is because it allows for a
more stylish and easy-to-use display, allowing tor the use of
gadgets and menus.
The window, as the name suggests, is like an opening, giv-
ing Ihe user a view. Of what? Well, whatever the programmer
wishes the user to see! Sut unlike the screen, the window is
completely flexible and with the right programming it can be
re-sized, moved around, pulled to the front and pushed to ihe
back. They can now even display pictures inside themselves
(As long as you have OS 2,00 tw higher!}.
Just like screens, each window has their own unique
number and because of this you are allowed to open more
lhan one window on any one screen, addressing each one by
its identifying number,
The gadget - gadgets are the next simplest inpyt/cutput from
basic text input. They can display messages, hold text strings
or numbers, be used as scroll bars, even cycle through a list
of different options!
But there is a limitation of using gadgels - they can only
be displayed from wrthin windows, This is because the oper-
ating system was designed lo handle them this way, so you
can have multiple windows open and find out which gadget
was hil m which window, thus allowing for more flexible and
open programming.
Gadgets also have their own unique identifying numbers
so that you can determine at any time whether or not a
specific gadget was used.
The menu - menus are another way of obtaining interaction
wilh the user. They can sometimes be preferred to
gadgets due lo their simple orderly composure, but can also
be used in coni unction with gadgets to produce flexible
applications.
When programming menus Ihe+e is generally one purpose
for which to use them, and that is lo offer the user a selection
of options. Thankfully the system will handle most of Ihe inter-
ad ion, allowing us to pick up the users choice and crack on
with the request.

GRAPHICS
Seeing
R Si-bit graphics card
compatible with all applications?
Franh fiord grasps his specs -
and peers into Retina III-
1 was with great delight that 1
opened the parcel containing my
review Ftelina BLT Z3. I though!
"Great! Zorro I If performance, 4MB Display
RAM and Workbench emulation."
Now, I already know a bit about
Workbench emulation courtesy ot my
D cassoll card, where selling a screenmode
an absolute breeze Picasso creates new
standard Intuition screenmodes that can
be sel in any Screen mode requester, so,
is you can see, I was- hoping ihat
Retina's would be as tran spa root and easy
to set up,
i opened the box that Retina came in and
'■ eady i was frowning. MacroSystems
"ave a deserved good reputation for creat-
ing solid hardware, vis VLab and I had
' ::ped Ihat this was going to bo no excep-
' on. I have to say I was disappointed.
First off, Ihe Retina isn't a full length card
- t's |us( as long as it has to be to plug into
“ho Zorro slot. I would much rather have
seen a full-length card that was easier to
. jg in, because it was guided in at both the
"ent and back of my machine instead ol
" ;bbling around as I pushed il in.
MONITOR
Next. I know that the original Relina only
"ad one monitor output port on it, so if you
wanted to see Amiga screens you had to
jt two monitors Side-by-side, but I had
r eard that the Retina Z3 was going to be
equipped wi|h two instead of the single port
I lound (most of the other RTG graphics
: vds on the markei have a monitor input
Wft to pro vida a passdhrough of the slan-
cird Amiga video signal when the card is
ot being used).
i had also heard thal video outpul was to
included as standard, and looking at the
:oard it seemed that my suspicions were
:znfirmed as there were two video ports,
ne composite and one Y/C, on the back of
the board.
But it turns out that To use them you are
q uired to buy an extra PAL encoder card
w h ich fits onlo the Reiina board, So why
.iher going to Ihe expense or putting ports
•- Ho the card that potentially few people are
going to make use of?
My third initial complaint concerns the
ither skimpy manual thal is provided,
'.'aero Systems are wefl-known for writing
Tense, harcMo -under si and manuals, bul
*> ey usually have some depth to them.
The Retina manual is only 43 pages long.
■ doesn't ge into enough detail on a lot ol
bios, and leaves out any details whalso-
iver about I he rather dire paint package
included called VDPaini. There are no
warnings in the manual about the Retina Z3
only working in machines equipped wilh
ZorroMI slots flhs 3000 and 4000
series) and as I haven't got a machine with.
Zorroll slots to check if in, 1 couldn't find puf
d it automatically detected the difference
between Zorroll and Zorro 1 1 1 slots
and changed its method of working
accordingly.
Retina's method of relargeifing
Workbench is not exactly friendly, Firstly,
there is a program called Reiina-
ScroenMade which opens a window show-
ing a whole load ol different monitors, I
would say you are fairfy likely to find 5 your
monitor, or at leasl one very like it, men-
tioned in fhe I is!,
Once you have selecled the monitor you
own, a list of screen "groups" appears on
Ihe right-hand side ol the window
These groups can be expanded to show all
Che various screen modes ccmiained
therein.
Thanks lo the execrable manual, I am
still not overly sure what relevance these
different screen modes actually have in the
running of the Workbench emulation, as
Spot crypt rc intariaiflJ
RTG is an acronym for R&Targettable
Graphics, a mythic Commodore standard for
incorporating other people's graphics cards
into the Amiga system
The idea is that a user can plug a graphics
card inlo the machine and then use all Ihe
soflware on Ihat card as though it were
norma! Amiga graphics.
To be able to do this several things need
to happen first. One is that software design-
ers have to obey the rules when il comes to
creating the interlaces for fh sir programs.
Requesters and windows should be fonl-
sensitive and programs should offer the user
a screenmode requester lo choose the mode
most suitable for his or her needs.
The other is ihat Commodore needs to
define an RTG standard so Ihat the software
and hardware developers have something lo
aim for instead of all Ihe cortf lief ing systems
that ere currently in use,
they are ail also listed in the program called
RelinaEmu which you run next.
Retina Emu is really the heart and soul of
Retina’s RTG effort. When you run a pro-
gram you haven’t run since you got fhe
Retina, it makes a nole of il in its fiat. You
can Ihen pick that program's name from the
fist and choose a Retina screen mode to
run it under.
Few programs seem to mind this rather
cavalier attitude lo their screens, but pro-
grams like VistaPro and DelUxePaint, thal
have custom interfaces rather than sticking
to using proper intuition screens (naughty!),
don'i really like promotion at all.
Ones you are satisfied thal all the normal

software you (end to run works OK under
Retina's aegis, you start to want to play
about a bit with the programs that come
with Retina.
There’s a whole bundle of stuff to look at.
First up is Ihe ralher cryptic MakeRACE
program. IT has a massive six and a half
pages of manual devoted to It and is an
animation creation tool.
It can create anims in S-, 16' or 24-bil
and will automatically dither your frames
down to the required number of colours
using the Floyd-Steinberg technique.
METHODS
Personally, I would rather have seen it
use the Random method as used in
ADPro, which stays in the same place
every frame giving you less deltas than
Floyd-$leinbeTg,
As with the rest ol Retina's software.
MakeRACE seems over-complex, but its
complexity ensures (hat you will be able to
create the basi possible animations with it
Anims lhat are created with MakeRACE
can also have a soundtrack applied to them
which can be in 85VX format or
MacroSy stem's own Toccata or MaesiroPro
formats for 16-bit sound quality.
Once ihe animation has been created (a
rather drawn-out process even on a 4000)
you will need to load one of RACE'S ancil-
lary programs, PlayRACE or CopyRAGE.
PiayRACE plays back the animation from
There is a wide range of graphics cards avail-
able fc-r the Amiga, from AV^eo and DCTV
Uiiough lo Harlequin and G2'& Imsgica sys-
tem, but probably of most interest are the so-
called RTG cards.
There are three main offerings; the Re'ina
in Zorroil and Zorrolll versions, Picasso ana
the wide variety of EGS hoards i have played
wilh them all in my lime and I currently own a
Picassoll card,
The reasons for my purchase were lhat
Retina's system for RTG was unwieldy and
(unnecessarily i complex and ! didn't fixe the
fact that EGS seemed !o be happier replacing
Intuition rather fhan complementing it,
Certainly there are boards that give the
extra speed that Zorrolll confers, and some
have 4MB of display RAM to allow you higher
resolutions, but none is as easy So configure
as Picasso and none is as transparent as
Picasso when in everyday use.
RAM and Copy RACE does the same bul
from bard disk.
Next up is ArtCoS Jr. which is a sort-of
patina version of FRED the frame editor
that comes wifh ADPro,
No graphics card worth its salt is wfthoul
soma sort of picture viewer and Retina is no
exception, if you own a copy of
ImageMasier or ADPro Ihe mslalter will load
viewers for those programs onto your hard
disk.
However, there is also a standalone tile
viewer lhat, lhanks lo Retina's multipic.-
library (a sort of Universal loader used by
all the Retina software), will show files In a
wide range of formats including all the IFF
variants, VLab (obviously!), BMP and JPEG
amongsl others,
Li has an Appwindow interface allowing
you to Just drag and drop picture icons onto
its window to show them. It can also be run
from Ihe Shell and thus is suitable for inte-
gration inlo file managers liks Directory
Opus or DiskMaster2,
What else
is out
there?
TWEAKING
In case you weren't confused enough by
RetinaScreenMode and RetinaEmu, we
now coma to a little utility called
DefineMonitor that allows you to tweak the
screenmodes so that they Rl nicely on your
monitor.
Qnce you have messed around with
them all, you can then append your newly-
tweaked list to the original list, resulting in
twice as many screanmodes to choose
from!
To finish off the complement of pro-
grams, there is a Retina screen blanker lhat
doesnT do anything interesting Ilka putting

after the other, it just shows a black scree* I
which is obviously the best way to keep I
your monitor from burning out - but it is »
bit boring.
Retina's Workbench emulation is actuary
outstandingly fast once you get past
hassle of setting il all up. Even running t

Besl of all, MacroSystem have gol
around the old CHIP RAM-qopying prot
lams that plagued Ihe original Retina M
rtoing pretty much -everything using Retina
23's built-in bliller, which leaves your CRT
RAM Ires for more important things.
CONCERN
l think it's a shame that a product wito
such potential should receive such a poc f
overall review. If MacroSystem had bucket
their ideas up a bit and given the Retina Z:
iwo monitor ports, a decent manual,
readme’s in English as well as j
German (especially worrying when I recog-
nise words like Achtung! in them), inductee
the video encoder in the price and most
importantly, completely revised their sys-
tem of RTG, I would have been a lot
happier.
I first saw the original Retina card as a
prototype In Germany in 1992 and was
amazed at what MacroSystem were trying
to do: a 24 -bit graphics card that could be
used with all applications, nol just pair'
»
packages.
However, it seams lhat they have nc:
realty looked at ail ihe competition that has
sprung up around them in the shape of
EGS and Picasso which offer better
usability with comparable facilities.

TUTORIAL
verthe next six issues i'll bE using
Devpac to build an Intuition pro-
gram lhat is able to display text
' los. This may not sound like an oarth-shat-
‘.-ring goal, but you will be learning about a
-imola range ol useful things like using Lhe
ASL file requester, detecting menu events
and so on and it’ll all be done using
Release 2 (and upwards) compasible code.
I’ll be spending quite a bet of time explain-
ng the underlying ideas and first on the
agenda are some details about how you
■jctually create an assembly language
program,
Step one is to use an editor lo prepare
something known as a source code file All
this means is 111 at you use a text editor to
create a plain ASCII lext file containing the
program instructions.
Devpac has its own editor and the editor
window appears as soon as Oevpac starts,
Cnee l he program instructions have been
written, the next stop is to convert
tho source to the appropriate 690x0
mstruclions.
With Devpac there are two ways of doing
this but the easiest way, which is ideal for
simple programs lhat involve just ora

source file, is to let Devpac produce an exe-
cutable (run able) program directly. This is
what we shall be using during the early
instalment,
The Amiga s multitasking Exec supports a
library system that exists quile separately
from the applications programs which run,
Since our program will be making extensive
use of a number ol these libraries, some
preliminary explanations are m order.
Programs tell Exec lhal a library is needed
by attempting to 'open' it using an
OpenLibraryQ function, it's important to
know that the QpenLibrary() call was
Assembling and running the cods
I actually wrote this example with Devpac 3, but armed with an advance copy of the
de-archived Devpsc2 cover disks (which by now you also will have) 1 was able to
test the code with the Devpac 2 package as well. These Devpac 2 instructions
should work with all machines (even single drive ones).
First, copy this month's ACl.s example code to the ram disk. Insert the Devac
AMI disk into drO: and make ritOre the current directory by typing CD dfOic at a Shell
window.
Now type Genam2 to load Devpac and then use the Project menu to load the
source from the ram disk. Select Assemble' from the Devpac Program menu and
choose the Output lo memory' option to assemble the program (because then you'll
be able to run it directly from the Devpac2 Program menu).
Once you're happy that it works you can reassemble it using the ‘Output to disk'
Option lo store a permanent Copy.
The example code should also assemble withoul error with other assemblers but
do noie lhat, al the momenl, the code MUST be run either dtrecliy from Devpac or
from a Shell window - it will NOT run from l he Workbench because we've not added
any startup code (this comes later in the series).

relumed address is ngn-NULL (ie non-zero).

OpenLibraryO is an Exec library function and
having said lhal the first stage in using a library
is to open it by using the Exec OpenUbraryf)
function - you may be wondering how you
open I ha Exec library in the fins* place.
Tho simple answer is that you don't need to
- (he Exec library base address is perma-
nently available and stored in the long -word
at memory location 4 (called AbsExecBase).
Amiga library functions are accessed using
indirect addressing coupled with an offset
vafue called a library vector offset (LVG) -
this identifies which library function is
involved.
By convention we place the base address
of the library in register a6 so the code for qn
Open Lib rary() call will look like this:

I 'El be using a macro called CALLSYS to create
tutorial
a tiigh-level' code unit lhai I'll use for all library
calls. CALlSYS al&o preserves and reinstates
register a& (so that its contents are no! overwrit-
ten) but the best nows is that it allows ihe
above type ol operations lo be written in Ibis
simple form:
£ AL LET i QoriiLi tl r iry, Jbi tienNse
Incidentally, LVO values can be acquired in a
number of ways bul lor the moment I will be
putting LVO definitions al the start of the pro-
grams because Ibis is oasiesl.
What happens as far as Ihe indirect subrou-
tine call with displacement is concerned is that
the address in the specified address register
gets added to Ihe specilied LVO function call
displacement and this produces a destination
subroutine address that leads us to the right
library function.
It is, of course, necessary lo sel up the para-
meters needed by the library function before
making the call. If, for example, you look at the
OpenUbraryO function box out you'll see Thai it
needs a pointer to a library name in register al ,
and a version number in dO.
I'll bo setting dO to zero because this tells
Exec that any library version will do.
Closing a library is ]us( as easy as opening it.
You use the same type of indin&et subroutine
call, but specify the Close Lifer ary () function
instead

At the moment our program is relatively short

4, A subroutine which handles the library
dosing operations.
5. Space for library bases, names, and a
library name pointer list.
Incidentally, I have included a couple o!
instructions in the program which make an
Intuition DisplayBeepO call so that the pro-
gram does something visible when run.
# Next month I'll be adding some window
opening codn to this framework,
We'll be explicitly opening the DOS, graphics, intu-
ition, gadtools, and asl libraries, so the appropriate
text strings representing Ihe name of Ihe libraries
need lo bo included in the source via dc.b pseudo-op
statements.
Note that NULL (zero) bytes are used at ihe end of
the reat text characters to identity Ihe end of Ihe string
(a common convention), like Ihis:
Uhl dc.b 1 Bps . UhriryU WU
We also need some labelled long word locations lo
store the base addresses of the libraries we open and
here we use the ds.l pseudo-op in this fashion...
jqSBisp ds.L 1
As far as opening libranes is concerned wave got to
load the address of the Exec library into register a6
then, for each library we wish to open, set up library
name pointer and version details before making an
OpenUbraryO call,
If tba values returned In dO are not zero then the
libraries will all be open, How do we test dO lo check
whether it contains a zero or nol? It's easy - we use a
move instruction lo copy the contents of dO to the
location that we've set up to hold the library pointer,
and as the move occurs the processor’s zero flag will
be sel to reflect the jtertVnon-zero status of Ihe result.
If the libraries do open successfully we'll need
these pointers in order to perform Ihe CtoscUbraryO
operations before the program terminates.
Because of the number of libraries being opened I
havE coded (he opening and closing operations using
loops. Pointers to Dae first library name and base are
loaded into registers a2 and a3, and d3 is loaded with
a count one less than the number of libraries to be
opened (this is because the automated dbeq instruc-
tion counts down lo -1 if the loop goes to completion).
Here are the setting up operations:

opens all the libraries:

Notice how I've used indirect addressing with autoin-
croment instructions when copying the library names
and returned library base pointers, With al for
mstance, which starts off holding the address of ihe
first library In the list of library names (dos library),
this is what happens.
The move.! i&2)+ t a1 instruction copies the DOS
library name pointer to al (this is in readiness tor Ihe
OpenUbraryO call}. After this occurs register a2 is
auto incremented by 4 so that a2 then paints to Ihe
next library name to be used. The same autoincre-
menl idea is used when storing the returned library
bases.
The loop terminates either wilh dO holding the las!
valid open library pointer and d3 holding -1 or, if an
OpenLlbraryO call failed, with dO holding 0 and d3
holding a loop count value between 4 and 0.
1 11 1 1
The important point with al! tills, which you'll see il
you tiace through ihe loop code, is that as soon as a
library open error occurs Ihe loop quits with register
(a3> pointing to ihe base of the library that failed to
openl
To cIose any previously successfully-opened
libraries, all we need to do is use a backward reading
loop to collect thg valid library painters already stored
in the library baso variables.
When you examine the code on the cover disk
you'll see that the library closing loop has been writ-
ten as a subroutine.
This is because the code can be called under two
different situations - when the program has run with-
out error and all Itve libraries need to be closed, or
when ihera has been a library opening error and four
or less libraries need to be closed.
By tasting the zero flag at the end of Ihe library
opening loop wc can tell whHiber an error occurred,
so a conditional beq instruction allows us to select
either a normal or an error pathway like Ihis:

Hung Fu Mies
Available from: Scribble PD
Disk No G093
Another simple idea well executed, Kung F u
Charlies is a mixture between a platformer
and a boat-'em-up. You are a Kung Fu ninja
character (as tho title suggests! ) and must
make your way through the levels of plat-
forms white defeating the many enemy ninja
characters that appear,
You are able lo carry out quite a few
moves to effectively dBleat the baddies,
such as a crouch -down kick, or a straightfor-
ward front kick.
Graphically, the game is rather primitive
but the cartoon-slyle characters are quite
appealing and reasonably detailed The
amusing Ninja yells add appeal and work
well, Two-player mode gives the game
another angle - the second; player takes the
form of a strange clown-looking ninja, and
you both take Ihe same side against Ihe
ninjas.
This all adds up lo some very basic but
fun beat-'em-up action. It certainly isn't First
Samurai or anything of that quality, far from
it in fact, but rt does have gams play and is
fun while it lasts... for however long that
may be!

The Incredible Fining
Bambini Bros
Programmed by: Tom Werber
Available from: Jorvik Public Domain
Disk Mo ANO 217
Although this offering by Tom Werber is
nothing complex or particularly ingenious,
it is a nica demonstration of how some-
ihing so simple can work so well.
Drawn in a style similar to Bob
Godfrey's Henry's Cat, Ihis animation
shows the attempts of the Incredible
Flying Zambini Brothers to perform their
flying Gimus lucks.
The comedy is based around tho fact
That the smallest member of the troupe
always ruins the trick. All hough none of
the members have features or even faces
(they are in fact blobs of colours with a
vague body shape) they do seem lo have
a fair amount of character.
They convey Iheir characteristics merely
through body size and how they move.
The green Zambini brother is the smallest
of the bunch and you can't help feeling a
certain amount o! Sympathy for him as he
fails all the tricks the others manage so
successfully
This is a surprisingly long animation
containing Ihrae separate stones. The first
is Perilous Parachute Problems and the lit-
tle green character again falls victim lo the
trick going wrong - the others safely fall
out of ihe plane and open their para-
chutes. When it gets lo his turn Ihe chute

that whenever another demo arrives in Ihe
post rt's usually met with moans and
groans and a cynical chorus ol *ha, ha
spinning cubes agarn,"
So on Ihe rare occasion we gel some-
thing a little different then it is a joyous day
in the Amiga Computing offices,
Fatal Morgana, brought ic us by
Tragedy, is a mixture of Ihe two — it would
have been a pretty fine demo but it was
spoilt with the obligatory spinning cube
sequence,
Starting off with your usual ravey tune
and swirling zig zag patterns, the demo
then moves on to a circle orbiting a smaller
circle. Mol mind-blowing stuff admittedly,
but still rather effective,
The next image is of a woman dancing in
front of a moving flowery backdrop. The
dancing looks smooth and flowing and
•works well with the rave tune.
Next up is a stippled picture of a swans
head and then the swan starts raving -
yes, a raving swan - unusual and creative.
Things then get really wild when the
sequence repeats ifself, the music speeds
up and the images gets (aster, flashing
across Ihg screen at a fair rate. Everything
builds up into a crescendo and then it s all
■over, well almost.
Alter recovering Irom all this mind-warp-
ing stuff you are treated to an animation of
the headbanging' duo, Beavis and
Butthead. The usual antics of Ihe twosome
are included, such as a tow seconds of
headbanging and Iheir manic laughs H r s all
finished olf with one of them stating “This

Well, it doesn't, especially if you like

Gina Means seems to have a knack for creating groat
disk compilations lor children. The last one I had the
pleasure ot reviewing was her Pick 'M 1 Slick game - an
idea similar to Fuzzy Felts, - and this one is of the same
high standard,
Included is a Word Search game where Ihe child must
find the words relating to a particular topic hidden in a
scramble of letters. These have been well-chosen and
would ell be fa miliar to a child.
The Scribble Pad is basically a blank note pad which
enables the child to create as many pictures as they like
~ it saves searching round for scrap paper and Ihe
messy paints every lime.
Different thicknesses of pens are available and a vari-
ety of shapes can be used to create the patterns.
Different colours can also be chosen.
The next section is a collection of stories including
Henrietta Hen, Frank Frog, Bertie Bee and Ferdio Frog.

involves flying along a vertically scrolling
screen shooting baddies.
The levels are based rather nicely
around themes. For example, the back-
drops ara made up of sweets and the bad-
dies are lollies and the like.
As well as avoiding the nasties and fir-
ing at Ihem, you have to find your way
through small gaps In the platforms,. This
is moro difficult than it sounds as
Ihe screen is scrolling vertically and
quite fast - if it touches then it causes
damage
Although this is fairly basic gameplay
the graphics are of a particularly high
quality Many colours have been used to
create ihe background, making for a very
professional-looking game indued.
Turbo Hockey is another lairly simple
idea but works well Two-players compete
on an ice rink with goals ai either end and
the idea is to get conlrol of the puok and
blast it past your opponent's goal, it won't
astound with great graphics or anything
but It is vary playable
The third, and by lar Ihe best, is Brain
Damage, a puzzler which requires you to
move the various objects into a pattern
aroundi a chequered board.
The board consists of 6x6 squares,
some containing objects that are moved
around using the arrows surrounding the
board. This makes it incredibly difficult as
you have to move an entire row or col-
umn.
You can set the difficulty from Moronic
lo Average. (The registered version goes
on to include more levels plus an
Ingenious stage - it also contains a save
and load game option.)
The more difficult Ihe level, the less
Ume you have to comp lets the puzzle in
and the less moves it musl be done in.
The game is also affected by being able
to Rotate, Transform and Bomb certain
parts of (ha pattern.
This is all very taxing and if Rubies

Daze on the ball
On The Ball is the UK version of an extraordinar-
ily successful German football game called
Anstpss, which has been at the top of the
German software charts for practically the
whole of this year,
A development team of 20 took on
the task of creating the game, including
such features as live running commen-
tary and a four-player mode.
One of the key factors of On The Ball
is its strong graphical presentation, The
animated TV-style coverage was produced by
two experienced Illustrators from German
television,
Together they spent over three months illustrating the action sequences.
Over 420 individual animations sequences, including shots at goal, corners,
penalties, fouls and goals, all viewed from different angles were produced.
The final result is over 45 minutes of "live" animated action, compressed
onto one disk so that no disk swapping is needed in the middle of a match.
On The Sail World Cup Edition should be out by the time you read this,
while the League Edition will be brought out at the end of August.
This will be completely updated for the new season and features the full
Premier League and the First Division, The pruce is still unconfirmed, but Da?e
says it wilt be around the £29.99 mark.
Going for goal!
The World Cup rs row over and I bet you've been as surprised as System at
the amount of football games sitting cm the shop shelves. You'll not have
been able to afford all of them, but Empire have come up with what is surely
the best -ever football compilation pack.
Empire World Cup Year "94 contains Sensible Soccer, Goal, Championship
Manager '93 (plus it's J 94 data disk) and Striker. For football aficionados this
is surely a compilation sent from heaven, but I suppose the majority of games
players have got at least one out of the four games.
If you haven't got any of these games then this is your lucky day, because
Empire World Cup Year ‘94 costs only £25 99 which works out at about £6.50
per game.

Beneath a Steel Sky
Revolution Software has surpassed the amaz-
ing Lure of the Temptress with their latest
adventure and i congratulate them on mak-
ing such a fine adventure game.
Everything about it just oozes quality and
over the last couple of weeks rt's been a real
pleasure to play, The graphics are good
enough to marry and" have children with and
the game play and actual storyline are first-
rate. If it doesn't go to the top of the soft-
ware charts then I think there is simply no
justice in this world.
Darkmere
This must surely rate as one of the best 3D
isometric adventures ever to appear on the
Amiga. It possesses a haunting style that is
completely unique and seldom achieved in
many computer titles,
Darkmere really is a pretty dassy title, The
graphics create such a mood that it gives the
adventure an immediate head start over
everything else it competes against.
It's contained in a huge playing area and
includes objectives and puzzles that will hold
your attention fora good while.
Arcade Pool
Arcade Pool can now be added to the list of
Team 17 budget successes,
The game may have very nice graphics, but
it's in the playability department where it
excels.
There are so many different game styles
that you'd be hard pressed to become bored
with this piece.
For just under a tenner it is an amazing
bargain, especially when you consider that it
has actually been in development longer than
most full -price games.
James Pond 3
Highly original it might not be r but fans of
the previous games and platform lovers will
be absolutely besotted with the third instal-
ment. For sheer enjoyment and lastability,
you'd have to go far to find a better platform
game than Millennium's tasty third fishy
adventure. If you're yearning for some fast,
frenetic platform jumping fun, then I suggest
you splash youf cash on name? Pond 3 . You
will not regret it!
Benefactor is the bast thing Psygnosis has released in a long time.
It feels like a montage of Flashback and Psygnosis' very own
genocidal pets, the Lemmings. Both the graphics and sound have
been implemented very well. The variety of both location and
puzzle aspect of Benefactor make it an engrossing challenge.
Benefactor is the type of title that will keep the most dextrous
platform freaks and puzzle lovers alike twiddling well into the
wee hours.
The scores
on the doors
System has a different scoring system than any
of our competitors, so before yon continue
reading tta mag, glance at the words below t
0 find nut enactty how it works.
I'm sure many of you are now familiar with our new
scoring system, but for those reading Amiga
Computing for the first time and those who might
have forgotten exactly how it works, here is our
guide to the System scoring, err system.
In our opinion, review scores have lost their con-
text as a percentage; some products receiving scores
which were only a few percentage short of being the
"perfect" game, when in truth they were only
marginally above average.
OK, so the scores might seem unnaturally low at
first but that's only because other scoring systems
tend to be on the high side and perhaps not as com-
prehensive or honest as they could be
In the long run you 1 II receive a more concise and
reader-orientated review that's geared towards the
consumer
0-20 This is given to the lowest of the low
21-30 An all-round poor game that
may have a single saving grace
31-40 Just below the average, perhaps
let down by a few indiscretions,
41-55 Games of this score are roughly average
with 50 being a perfectly average score.
56-66 This is an above average game
and is worth buying. For this reason
it would be awarded the BRONZE
award.
67-77 A game of high quality that
you as a reviewer would have no
reservation in recommending
Anything of this ilk would he
awarded the SILVER award,
7&-B9 A brilliant title. Definitely
worth buying and almost the defini-
tive of its kind, This type of game
would receive the GOLD award.

I do like this game and the weirdest bit is, I've never been
d fan of shoot-'em-ups! They usually bore me to bits, but
Banshee has that elusive quality that drags you in. Each
level demands new challenges which are genuinely tough,
and the learning curve is just right.
This is an intense and extremely satisfying game that
should tempt any games fan with an ounce of adrenaline
in their veins, The Harvey Keitel of shoot- 'em- ups.

ou start as Heimdall himself in the Hall of
Worlds, so the first thing you should do is
switch to Ursha and walk over to the bow
and arrow.
After you've equipped her with the bow
and arrow, remember to use Ursha especially on dan-
gerous tasks because if she perishes you can continue,
whereas if Heimdall is killed the game is over.
Move to the only entrance that darkens when you
The first (rf fivm pifru of Hs* ftc'Gtld is disto
approach it and begin the
search for the first part of
the quest.
Once through you'll see
two obelisks. If you release
an arrow at the obelisks
then one of the following
will occur.. The one on the
right materialises a Hakrat,
which will only add to the
difficulty of your quest.
Conversely, the obelisk on
the left reveals the rainbow
bridge onto which you can
walk.
At Rurick's village, the
first thing to do is to enter
all the huts and search for
equipment. On entering a
building that looks like a
store room, open the bon
towards the rear of the room arnd you will find the
circlet inside.
After this, proceed towards Rurick's hut and speak
to him. He'll tell you about Eadric and ask for your
help. From here, leave Rurick's village, head to the
map screen and steer a course for Eadric's village,
Go to Eadric and offer him the circlet as a peace
offering He'll give you a letter to return to fiuriick,
confirming the peace. Now, enter the pub for some
intoxicating conversation 9 bout your quest and re-live
a moment from the original Heimdall game.
Return to Rurick's village and give him the letter
offering peace. In return he'll give you a pass which
will allow you entry past the guard into the king's
castle.
Give the guard the pass and! enter the castle, Once
you're in the main hall take the right exit and enter
the kitchen. Climb the stairway and talk to the serving
girl - shell tell you what to do next.
Follow her instructions and go to the corridor with
the large picture whose eyes follow you- Push the
painting and the door should slide back to reveal a
passageway.
Go into the bedroom, collect the rune book and
press a fairly well-hidden hutton on the right-hand
side of the four-postEr bed.. The button will release a
catch which opens a secret hatch :n the wall that
contains a signet ring.
Take the ring and go to the guard who is blocking
access to the stairway. Give him the ring as formal
identification of the King and walk down the stairs, A
Hakrat, who stems especially awkward to kill, waits
in the next location.
At this point in the proceedings you have two
choices - attempt to kill the Hakrat using some cun-
ning, or travel to the Giant's Isle and use a little bit of
cheating to strengthen Heimdall.
If you wish to use this technique, jump ahead to
the sub- section dedicated to the Giant's Isle. The cun-
ning way to defeat the Hgkrat is to fire an arrow into

the room beyond. Hopefully ne'll follow it in, and, as
' n e room is booby trapped, he'll be minced.
However, if for some reason your arrows miss and
he bears down on you into a position where he'll
■ever follow the arrow, you'll have to slug it out with
him, and that could he dodgy.
Once you've killed him (by whatever means},
approach the two prisoners, One of them is the King's
brother - he'll give you a letter to take to the King.
When you visit the King's chamber his adviser will
vanish as he realises that his deception has been
jncovered. At the same time a forcefield blocking
,-ccess to a passage at the top of the stairs will
d sap pear.
A little warning - don't drink the bottle of beer
’hat's left cm top of the King's table as it's poisoned.
Climb the stairs and enter the next location. You'll
>ee that the path is missing and access is blocked,
shooting your arrows into the three holes will fill the
path and allow access to the next room.
Touching the statue releases a skull which is the
nrst piece of the flo'Geld. leave the island and sail to
the Fisherman's Isle.
Once on the fisherman's Isle, enter the fisherman's
hut and pick up all the objects available. Walk to the
rear of the hut and open the wardrobe door. You'll
discover the fisherman who'll tell you about the
plight of his daughter,
At Loki's shrine walk in to the portal when it's the
correct colour - the fisherman will inform you which
is best, so pay attention to what he says,
When you've rescued his daughter she will give
you a talisman which will grant you access to Utgard.
the second world.
Once in Utgard, on the Dwarven Isle, speak to the
dying man at the foreground of the battlefield and
he will tell you to meet him in the half- world. Shoot
an arrow into the circle of fire by the standing stones
arid you'll enter the half-world.
Return to the man and talk to him again and he
will tell you how to get into the castle using his
armour and will give you a letter. Go back to the cir-
cle and shoot another arrow into the fire - you'll
now he back in the normal world.
PROTECTION
Walk to where the man hes and pick up the
armour that sits by his side. Put it on and enter the
castle. Find the King's chambers and give him the
letter. In return the King will give you another
letter.
Search the castle and pick up the Rainbow ring
which is on a table at the top of the stairs. Find the
shop and buy yourself the large axe as it's the best
weapon available presently for hand-to-hand
combat
Leave the castle via the main lobby's tar-right exit,
rather than the one which leads back to the battle-
field, and you'll reach the Utgard map.
If you read the earlier part of this guide then
you'll remember that I mentioned travelling to
Giants Isle to strengthen Hetmdall
Being extremely brave you must attack the giants
that guard the rooms. They are very difficult to kill,
but do up rate your attack strength.
At this stage of the game your attack strength
ThQ world
of Uty&td
should be about nine or ten, but by continually striking
blows with the axe at the giant you can
eventually reach the highest achievable strength of 99.
If at any point your own health bar drops to a risky
level, leave to the safety of the previous room (he
won't follow) and cast a healing spell on yourself.
Q Anyway, you should benefit from this
extra muscle from here on. Ta get past the
Giant's tile you must first enter the ice god's
room and fill your flask with water.
Then, go back into the fire god's room and throw
the water into the fire - an ice bridge will appear
across the water in the ice god's room.
Kill the second Hakrat (be careful, everytime you
kill one they return, but you should make mince of
them by now with your enhanced brawn} and throw
the cygnet ring into the sphere of light.
Be careful when throwing that you get it right,
because if you don't the ensuing Hakrat could pick it
up.
In the giant's Hq, use your dexterity to avoid the
fire-balls as you make your way along the path. Once
over, push the candle over, pick up the talisman and
return to the Hall of World's.

Find the pub and kill the Dakta who is sitting

animated object or character in the
background. Doors open and specta-
tors blink, or move slightly.
Although only subtle details, which
at first do go unnoticed, they work
well, and unlike some games that try

Many beet-'em-ups have been released for the Amiga and in my mind
Body Blows Galactic still reigns supreme. Granted, it may be more vio-
lent, but you do have a good choree of moves and characters available
and graphically it looks superb.
Mortal Korn bat, employing a different style altogether, also has
more to it than Elf mania with regards to the action. Elf mania doesn't
seem to pack quite the same punch as other games of this nature or
give the same sense of satisfaction after a round well fought.
It does have a certain charm though, and if you're looking for a
beat-'em-up that has a strategic angle without the blood and guts
then it's definitely worth buying
Music accompanies the fight scenes
but it isn't particularly astounding -
rfs not one of those irritating, grat-
ing tunes but It doesn't really con-
jure up any atmosphere either.
A more fitting choice of sound-
track could have really enhanced
the theme of the q a me and evoked
more erf an atmosphere,
The usual shouts and yells that
fit in with the moves are included
and quite realistically convey the
action. All the characters have catch
phrases which they use at the
beginning or end of a fight. These
work well and do create the feeling
of the tournament spirit.

While it is a nice idea having a 'less violent' beat-'em-
up by using cute elf characters, it is at times a bit too
twee and everything is a bit too nice.
Beat-'em-ups bring out the more aggressive style
of playing and when your opponent is a smiling elf it
can become rather frustrating. The game redeems
itself when you meet the tougher fighters later on
and gets the real fighting feel back into it.
More moves would have oenefited the game as
they are quite limited. All the characters have very
similar moves and although this results in a simple
control system that is easy to get to grips with, it
does become rather repetitive after a while. The spe-
cial moves also take a fair amount of joystick bashing
to get to work. And what can't be forgiven is all the
disk accessing The game is not hard disk installable
and unless you have an extra drive you will be con-
stantly plagued with swapping between disks after
each fight,
It's not all bad though, far from it in fact. The
game does have a lot going in its favour, such as an
artificial intelligence system which means you can't
just find one successful move and use it throughout
the fight because the computer susses out what you
are up to and will avoid your hits.
The control system is easy to get the hang of and
the coin idea is excellent. When you nit your oppo-
nent he releases coins - you can then hit them back
at your opponent to cause additional damage.
Two-player mode is also quite fun and you can
choose from a If of the six fighters available fin a one-
player game they only become available when you
have earned enough coins). The strategic angle is a
nice touch. The country is
divided into 36 counties
and via the mapseneen
you must conquer six
counties in a row to
win.
But it's up to you
whether to go straight
ahead and try for the six
in a row or build up your
cash by defeating the easier
opponents and going on to the
Bonus Stage.
So, despite its 'cutesy' appearance and hmited
amount of moves and characters, this is a surprisingly
playable and addictive tide. The sprites are solid and
well animated, the backdrops absolutely superb and
the extra features add a novel aspect to it.

At least you do if you're the cheeky tinkers who gave us Brutal
Sports Football. Polish down your swords, load your guns and take to
the pitch for a match that would even make Uinoy Jones flinch.
Good and bad in this department, The progression from Brutal Sports Footy mani-
fests itself most obviously in the isometric viewpoint, which gives the game a much
more flesh ed-out feel.
There are also improvements in the addition of pictures of whichever player has
control of the bail. The more bartered they get, the more their portrait bleeds from
its nose and mouth,
Icky, tasteless but very handy when you want to finish off a weakened opponent.
The violence is nicely handled as well, with showers of blood coming from every col
I i sion, and the occasional decapitation from a well-timed flying tackle giving a new
meaning to taking a header.
The downside comes when you try and actually control what is going on. The
viewpoint counts against the game when you try and carry out anything even
remotely involving precision or skill, as the ball is often lost in the midst of the
players.

Qopj. This is where the game falls down a bit. The marriage between sports game
and beat-'em-up is a bit shaky, with neither aspect coming out any the better.
The sport gets m the way of the violence,, and the violence gets in the way of the
sporting action. Too often the game degenerates into a frantic waggle-fest as you
just hit fire repeatedly to duff up the opposition.
Every now and then there's an opening at the goal (usually if the otherwise
invincible goalkeeper is clobbered) and you remember that there's a ball involved
m this game and hoof it goalwards.
There's just no feeling of control over the action. Every time you score you know
it was down to sheer flukmess rather than any premeditated tactics paying off.
The isometric view also causes problems by making it difficult to see where other
players are in relation to yourself, SO- any precise passing is ignored in favour of the
"boot it up the field" approach.
There are also some power ups to be collected, usually by accident, and matches
that are drawn result in a penalty shoot-out using real guns.
The trouble is that there are so many good ideas and neat touches struggling to
peek out from beneath a rather unplayable game, and this gives you a glimpse of
just what the game could have been like.
Sound is, for the most part, func-
tional, There's a pleasant enough
tune that somehow sounds like
every other football-related tune
you ever heard. The in- game sounds
are just your bask ticking noises
and some crunches when players
thunder into each other.
With the violence aspect I
expected some more excruciating
sounds to compliment the breaking
of bones, but chances are you won't
notice the sounds anyway as you'll
be too busy scrabbling for the ball.

While violent sports games are a
pretty obvious idea, there are sur
prisingly few that spring to mind -
unless you include rugby. The most
obvious, and probably best, are the
Speedball games by the saucy

Viewed from above, it's a sort of

As with Wild Cup, you can collect
power-ups to cripple the opposition
and then punch your way to their
goal before hurling the ball in.
The simplicity works in the games
favour and* it's easy to get straight
in there and start scoring even for a
begin ner.
Otiher contenders include Smash
TV which was more in a shoot-em-
up vein. The original Brutal Sports
Football follows very similar lines to
Wild Cup, but it looks rather flat
and suffers from the same sense of
"what is going on?" that marrs its
follow up,

OPINION MU!
It's all a bit disappointing really. The idea is sound and the implementation almost
pulls it off, but the clumsy controls reduce the game to a random mess of punch-
ing and occasionally making a run for goal.
The most annoying aspect is that there is so obviously a very good game lurking
in here, but all you ever get are tantalising glimpses of how good it could be.
For example, the players not under your control are aggravaiingly useless. You
make a run for goal with another member of your team in tow. Ideally he would
sort out the goalie while you score, but what tends to happen is that he stands by
while the goalkeeper smacks your head in and the opposing team thieve the ball
and leg it
All in all, a good game that suffers due to it's annoying quirks, Practise might
well allow you to get past the obstructive melee of frantic joystick waggling, but
the sad truth is that you shouldn't need to practise just to enjoy the game.
With so many other footy-related games out at the moment, there's no need to
struggle with this one, which is a pity.

A game of many, many options, Kick Off 3 really js exceptional in this respect.
You can change almost anything and unlike some similar titles, these options
really do alter the game.
For starters there's a Simulation or Arcade mode, ideal for either the serious
followers of soccer or for those wanting a simple kick -a bout
There are Game Speed and Ball Control options and a great
tactical element is brought in by changing players according to their
abilities, deciding formations, and even playing manager by issuing team
talks throughout the match. Practice mode comes in very handy for
improving your skills and you can even have an overall assessment
made of your abilities. Test your nerve in a penalty shoot-out
or practice your dribbling around a set of cones and then shoot at
the goal.
The many competitions you can take part in will ensure lasting appeal Play in
an international friendly, the World Cup, Anco Cup Of Anco League, or test your
playing skills in The Challenge.
You can also replay some of your finer moments and see the match facts to
accurately keep track of your progress.
This is a more than proficient footy sim but you should bear in mind that a two
independent button joystick is essential and if sound effects are high on your list
of priorities then it may not be for you.
Kick Off 3 gives you the choice
between a fast arcade kick-
about or a more realistic simula-
tion. In this mode you will find
all the rules included and every
aspect of the real game closely
adhered to.
Many moves can be achieved,
from the usual headers and tack-
les to the high kicks and after
touch, resulting in a satisfying
playing style that is close to the
real thing.
All the countries involved
have their own playing methods
and each one brings its unique
national character in to the
game. Players also have differ-
ent attributes.
Some may have vision - play-
ers who will read the game and
do long passes mto space -
whereas a player with high flair
wilt take the ball towards the
opposition half instead of pass-
ing it and will also tend to shoot
at the goal from distance.
Different levels of difficulty
can be chosen so both the
expert and novice are catered
for.
The ball ccmtrdl setting, for
instance, deter mines how easily
you can turn with the ball, At
international level you'll need a
fair amount of experience to do
Would you be at all surprised if 1 men-

Compare Kick Off 3 to these footy greats.
What more can be said about Goal
though, it has everything - atmosphere,
playability, great graphics and high addic-
tion levels.
Sensible Soccer again has all this and
I'm afraid Kick Off 3 is the sweaty sock
among this collection - it doesn't conjure
the atmosphere, and it certainly isn't as
instantly playable or as addictive.
Playability-wise it does kick some of
the other recent releases we've seen
lately in to touch though, and if you want
to go and fork out on a two independent
button joystick then you will gel a pretty
fine footy game wilh a wealth of options
that could teach other footy games a
thing or two.

INTRODUCTION
o there's this rabbit,
see? And as all his
woodland friends have
suddenly turned into slavering beasts, he's feeling a
bit put out. So he StbfK day-dreaming about the foxy
she rabbit from the Cadbury's Caramel advert and hops
off to dispense the long ear ot the law to his violent ex-friends.
It's a platform game, obviously.
He’s speedy, furry aid

As befits a cute rabbit game, the
tune is all bounty and Cheery. It
probably wouldn’t sound out of
plate on a kids’ TV programme,
like those quite terrifying Tiny Tots
creations.
However, as is the case with
pretty much every game tune ever,
it has the ability to irritate you to
the point of violence after about
10 minutes, so thank goodness for
the chance to prod 'M‘ and switch
it off,
Unfortunately, this shows up
how sparse the sound is, A f ew FX
for the enemies would have added
greatly to the grooviness of the
game. A squawk from the birds or
a howl from the coyotes would be
most pleasant, Inoffensive, but

There are two sorts of platform games, the nor-
mal sort and the cute sort. With a blue rabbit as
its main character and various other furry animals
as baddies* guess which sort Quik is. Yep, it's a
cut#-o-rama. And it looks realty rather pleasant.
The scrolling is smooth enough and the back-
grounds and platforms are clearly defined and a
pleasure to jump on. The best graphical aspect of
Quik is the great variety of enemy sprites., all
suited tD their respective ^ones, and each ani-
mated with individuality and flair.
It’s also one of those games where bonus
rooms and secret routes are tucked away but eas-
ily found. You know the sort of thing - conspic-
uos walls just begging to be jumped through.
Some you'll find by accident and others you can
unearth by using g a mesp layer's intuition.
All in all it looks good and solid. All the plat-
form requirements are there and it handles like a
dream.

Make your way from one end of the level to the other, jump-
ing on pi it... stop me if you've heard this before won't you?
To bE fair though, despite it's generic appearance Quit is a
very playable little game.
He can spin into enemies to kill them in a quite hedgehog-
tastic kinda way, and then collect whatever power-up is left
behind. Being a rabbit, Quik requires constant carrot and
water refills to prevent a trip to bunny heaven.
You can also collect hearts to keep your energy up and
potions to enhance his natural bunny skills (no, not those
rabbit skills). The potions come in two flavours, red and
green, and allow him to jump extra high or to zoom along at
thunder-like speeds.
While under the influence of the super speed beverage,
our hero is impervious to damage from enemies but can eas-
ily lose his power by trashing into a wall.
At the start of each level you'll be told what you must do,
Some levels simply require & speedy exit, whereas others
demand that you find a clock before making an exit.
Clocks tan be found through spooky doors that
take Quik back in time to a sub-game where you
must clamber to the top of a themed screen (prehistoric,
medieval etc} platform by platform to claim the
dock. The only trouble is that there are rolling boulders and
a fiendish bird that keeps dragging him back down the
screen.
Trampolines, secret passages and ladders are all present
and correct to assist him in getting to the sub-game, and at
the end of each zone there's a labyrinth section in quik J s
burrow where you must first locate and then destroy an end-
of-level baddie.
Three similar, but refreshing gamestyles, all wrapped up in
a playable chocofatey coating then.

Casting aside all previous platform games, Quik is really
a perfectly funky little game. Admittedly, my first reac-
tion to a platform game about rabbits was not print-
able in a family publication, but I was won over by the
sheer prof esronal ism of it all. The difficulty level is spot
on, so with just enough effort you can get
through the first three or four levels, Probably
more suited to younger players, due to it's simplicity
and cuddly approach, but despite every aspect
of it screaming " cliche"' it comes across as a very fun
game.
It even stands up well alongside the competition.
Highly recommended, much to my surprise.
Quik may very well be a speedy lit-
tle chap hut by far the coolest rab-
bit ever was Bugs Bunny, created by
Bob Clampett in 1938 for the car-
toon "Porky's Hare Hunt”.
He was not, however, very funny
until Tex Avery came along and
transformed him into the epitome
of wisecracking, sarcastic Brooklyn
attitude,
Sy I9&2 he'd appeared in a stag-
gering 159 cartoons and received an
Oscar for "Knighty Knight Bugs"
His characteristic Hew York drawl
was provided by Mel Blanc, who
sadly died recently, Mel was also
responsible for pretty much every
cartoon voice ever, as well as Twiki
the robot from Buck Rogers. A veri-
table star.
Cl assic Bugs Bunny moments
include his frequent cross-dressing
(thus proving himself to be a rabbit
in touch with his feminine side), his
immortal routines with Elmer Fudd
and Daffy Duck (which always
resulted in Daffy's beak being
blown off by Elmer) and one bril-
liant cartoon where he goes head to
head with Wile E, Coyote.
With Bugs you always know that
he's going to outwit everybody, and
as such he remains a super-cool,
suave sex symhol with more star
quality in his teeth than all of
Disney's sickly efforts put together.
Bugs, we salute you.

The tale of Princes, Princesses, Kings,
witches and dragons is being spun out
once again. The King's Quest series of
games have all been very much like a set
of fairy-tales and I guess that's why
they're so popular.
In these times where games must con-
tain violence or aliens or both to succeed,
King's Quest makes a nice refreshing
change.

The seas began to turn vio-

out. When Alexander next
opened his eyes he found
himself lying on a beach,
with bits of ship strewn about
everywhere and without his
crew. This is where
the "real 1 ' adventure starts,
as you take control of the
Prince and must complete
his quest of finding his lost

Sierra were planning to do a 256-colour version of Kings
Quest &, but they were so pleased with what the
32 colour version looked like that they shelved
the idea.
I'm in agreement with Sierra's decision because
the graphics look absolutely gorgeous and the
256-colour version might have slowed the game
right down.
The introduction to the game is rendered in 30 and fea-
tures some excellent morphing techniques, The sprites,
which range from guard-dogs and mmotaurs right down to
the devil himself, are well-drawn and very well animated,
The icon bar at the top of the screen is very basic, but
helps the game flow along and makes it easy to understand
for first-time adventure gamers.
The only quibble I have is that some of fhe
objects are just too small for the eye to see and
you quite often find yourself walking past them.
The backgrounds in King's Quest & are almost too
good! They set the atmosphere perfectly and you
could almost believe you are walking around in d
fairy-tale.
Sierra's adventure, graphics wise., is on a par with Monkey
Island 2 and The Fate of Atlantis. You can't get
a higher recommendation than that! 1 ]

Vou'd obviously have to compare
King's Quest 6 to adventures like
Monkey Island, Simon the Sorteror
and Beneath a Steel Sky.
At I these games contain some
high-quality graphics and have an
almost unrivalled amount of playa-
bility. King's Quest 6 is as good as
just about every other adventure i
nave ever seen,
This is the sixth King's Quest
adventure and although it is
undoubtedly the best I'd also sug-
gest you try and get your hands on
a copy of some of the previous ones,
They don't quite match King's
Quest 6 in the graphics depart-
| ment, but the playahility and addic

More often than not, adventure games
suffer because of their abysmal tunes
that play throughout your quest and
have you reaching for the volume
switch on your monitor.
There are a number of sound effects
within the adventure and even though
they're fairly sparse, the quality of them
is worth shouting about. If you could
only take a listen to the waves lapping
onto the heach on the very first screen,
you'd know just how good they are.
Sound -wise, I can't really fault King's
Quest 6 because what's in there is ade-
quate enough to please the average
gamer,

There have beeo a lot of famous "Kings" over the years. I'm not talking about monarchy, but
here are my two favourites.
3B King is a US hlues guitarist, singer and songwriter and was one of the most influential elec-
tric-guitar players of the 1960's His albums include Slues is King (1967), Lucille Talks Back (197l>)
and Blues 'n' ten (1933).
Martin Luther King Jr was a US civil-rights campaigner, black leader and Baptist minister, He
was one of the organisers of a protest in 1963 where 200,000 people marched to Washington DC
to demand racial equality.
An advocate of non-violence, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 King was assassi-
nated four years later by James Earl Ray in Memphis, Tennessee.
Adventure fans will be delighted that Sierra have
finally decided to release the sixth adventure in
the King's Quest series onto the Amiga
After such a long time away from
Commodore's machine Sierra might have been
weary of going back to it. but they needn't have
worried because, hopefully, King's Quest 6
should get the recognition it deserves from the
general pub ic.
The game comes on 10 disks, so you'd think
that a hard drive is pretty much an essential piece
of kit. Well ft is, but for those non-hard drive
owners the disk swapping is kept to an absolute
minimum and for this little factor 1 applaud
Sierra,
As far as adventure games go, they don't get
much better than this. With its brilliant graphics,
a fairy-tale of a plot, superb playability and a
level of addiction that will keep you coming back
for more and more. King's Quest 6 is an adven-
ture that should have a place in everyone's
games collection.
Buy it or you'll regret it, maybe not today...

coking back at Bullfrog's softogrsphy, all I can
tee are high-quality pieces of software. Games
like the Populous series, Powermonger and
more recently Syndicate, have all been tremen-
dous successes, but coming your way very soon is per-
haps Bullfrog's finest creation yet.
Along with Ocean's TFX and Inferno, Theme Parit is
being tipped, by those in the know, for the game of
the year award. Who knows* perhaps if there was one
Bullfrog could even walk away with a game of the
decade award! OK, I could be blowing Bullfrog's trum-
pet too soon, but I have high hopes for Theme Park.
HYPE
It could just be a case of good 'ol fashioned com-
puter industry hype that's making everyone go Theme
Park crazy. I cite Street Fighter 2 as one example which
had an advertising campaign that was better than the
actual product.
Bullfrog haven't advertised Theme Park though, so
why is it scr eagerly awaited? The answer is simple
Word of mouth. The only game an everyone's lips
within the games industry is Theme Park-
Take a look at Bullfrog's first software sensation.
Populous. An original and
addictive title that arrived
amongst a sea of mediocre
shoot-'em-ups and platform-
ers, It completely changed
the way games were perceived by the people who
bought them and more importantly by the people who
created them, ..
Theme Park could welt have the same effect over the
computer games world that Populous achieved five
years ago. The software industry is leaning slightly
towards the production of licensed platformers and
shoot-'em-ups because these types of game sell incredi-
bly well with the general public.
I know it is hard to tome up with ideas for original
products because everything seems to have been done
before, but it's still no excuse. It's this originality that
will, hopefully, turn Theme Park into a raging success
story,
You take the role of a nephew who has inherited a
fortune from his rich, but eccentric Aunt, However,
there is a catch involved - he must build the world' 1 ,
biggest and most profitable theme park.
SIMULATION
Bullfrog have combined all the fun of creating your
own theme park with a business simulation, Theme

and the aim is to broaden the traditional appeal of sim-
ulation programs by combining accurate simulation

Top dog it Bullfrog, Peter Molyneux, explains why
Theme P^ric is the beginning of a new era in gaming
"While the Designer Series has its roots in techniques
refined and honed over our previous releases, the busi
ness simulation side is a new direction for Bullfrog.
"We are confident that it is better than anything
comparable currently on the market, so we intend to
use it as a basis for a series of programs."
Your theme park must compete against 40 other
parks and as your park becomes more profitable, these
competitors will attempt to buy shares in the park and
try to take ft over, thus finishing your career.

Theme Park is, not only do you have to decide on

entrance fees and salaries, but you have to determine
things such as how much salt to put on the chips in the
chip shop.
There is a reason for all this seasoning mslarfcy
because the more salt you put on the thirstier the visi-
tors will become, therefore they will start to buy more
of your cola.
Theme Park is 3 highly original product and for me
that counts for a lot in today's current games climate.
It's already received an abundance of high review
scores from the PC games magazines and I'm in no
doubt that it'll achieve the same kind of success on the
Amiga. Theme Park wifi arrive in this office next month
and already I’Ve got a smile op my face.
Park life
There are a couple of different ways to play
Theme Park. The first, Sandbox, is the most
basic. This involves the creation of a park and
all you have to do is make sure the visitors are
happy and safe.
For those who fancy a bit more of a chal-
lenge there is the Business Simulation option.
This full-blown business simulator challenges
you to not only build a park, but run it as a
successful business, incorporating marketing,
forging contracts and negotiating staff
wages.
There are 32 purpose-built rides to choose
from, and six user-definable rides that include
race car and helter-skelter rides. You can add
corkscrews, laop-the-loops and decide on the
speed of the rides. Each rid c will have its own
"wow" factor and the visitor's reactions will
give you a dear idea of how successful your
rides are.
Positioning a chip shop too dose to a ride
that is too fast could end up with visitors
regurgitating their last meal, or even being
thrown off the ride.
If incidents like the aforementioned one
continue then the park's reputation will suf-
fer and it'll start attracting hordes of thugs
These vicious louts will beat up the visitors
and vandalise the rides. However, to combat
this menace, security guards can be employed
to evict any unwanted visitors.
As well as security, you can hire mainte-
nance men ta repair the odes, handymen to
pick up litter and entertainers who Can be
dressed in a variety of costumes to keep the
queues happy and contented.
I guess this is one of ThEme Park's biggest
attractions. There is no blood, no evil aliens
from the planet Zarkfon, no platform jump-
ing cutesy creatures - there is only the job in
hand of keeping your visitors merry.
Oh no, disaster strikes! The run has gone
away and so have your Theme Park visitors

in fact If you are on
this self-destructive trail stop
now, because Maxis, the
company who have brought
you every other conceivable
SIM title, are returning to
the Amiga as a games plat-
form. Their latest foray into
the world of simulating
every day life is Sim City
2000 -
While there's little
information available on the
Amiga conversion, you only
have to take two facts into
consideration. One, a back
catalogue of simulated reali-
ties that no one can better -
Sim City, Sim Life and Sim
Earth to name but three.
Secondly, the Apple
Macintosh version of Sim
City 2000 is currently burning into the pockets oi
employers far and wide, as addicted workers turn off
their spreadsheets and turn their attention to planning
that condo.
Sim City 2000 begins by asking you a time zone in
which to commence. You can place yourself at the turn
of the 20th century or zip ahead to more futuristic
zones, post 2000AD-
Establishing the time period will automatically deter-
mine your first decision, power. Every city, whatever
time it might have been born into, needs a source of
power. The Amiga version gives you limited choices at
the turn of the lOQO's* like oil and coal fossil-powered

increasing decisions you'll be set to send the bulldozers
in. Some of the first operations you'll |2
perform are to make sure your would-be city has an
ample water and electricity supply.
As you build different industrial complexes and
housing estates, each has to be connected to your main
grid - f si I ure to do so wlJJ mean that little will be bnift.
As well as ensuring that power reaches your lucky
Populace, you'll need to ensure that a road or rail sys-
tem is in effect so that your population can move to
work and back (rat race syndrome reaches computer
games).
As you've probably gathered, Sim City 2000 is going
to capture just about every reality conceivable to city
life. But r it will begin to speculate about society once
you proceed past the year 2500.
The game should then start featuring massive city
blocks which house thousands and include their own
environment and feature waterfalls and forests.
Also included should be the disaster option. This will
give you an option of including natural and man-made
disasters into the equation. These could vary as widely
as floods and tornados, through tD plane crashes and

Viewed isometrically with the illusion of the player
looking from quite a height the Amiga versions should
differ very little to their PC or Macintosh counterparts.
The graphics on the latter machines were small but
incredibly sharp and accurate, with many animated
sections.
EFFECTS
For example, trains should trundle towards their
destinations and the cars wiN swarm up and down the
highways like many ants.
The games control is entirely mouse driven with the
user clicking on and off icons and menu bars. This
should make play easy to manipulate and quick to
respond. It seems from other versions that have
been released that Sum City is shaping up to be a
massive hit with Amiga owners, CD32 owners
could wet! be in store for even dizzier heights if
the conversion features the footage that the CD-
ROM version includes.
I r for one, am looking forward to creating
sprawling condominiums of the future and wait
with industrial gloves and builders jeans sliding
down my rear quarters for its imminent release,
One of your tasks is to keep your populace
smiling. Their feelings are reflected through
newspapers, which as well as informing you
of events occuring in neighbouring towns,
will keep you abreast of feelings in your Own
metropolis.
To keep a
grin firmly in place
you'll be able to
build parks and
small wooded areas
of land to create a
feeling of space.
You'll also have an
option on parks, loos
and other stadium-
orientated pastimes.
But, how are you sup-
posed to encourage people tD
move to your new town to play in the parks
and zoos and work in your factories? Well,
you'll be able to connect yogr city with other
cities via road r rail and eventually via the air.
Once your population starts to boom and
your central business districts begin to take
off, you'll have to start injecting money into
educational institutions such as colleges,
museums and libraries.

res pend well. The body of the joystick is slight .
longer than most sticks- and the fire-buttons seem u
be further away, but the Cruiser fits snugly into you*
hand dnd after a while you forget it's ever there. A
highly recom mended buy and one of my favour^
" sticks' * of aft-time.
The Cruiser is rapidly becoming a firm favourite
with games-players. There are two styles of Cruiser;
one is decked out all in black while its brother is
perhaps the brightest joystick you could ever buy.
Pastel shades of green, yellow, blue and pink
cover the joystick and even though it might make
the average gamesp layer regurgitate his/her last
meal, it certainly performs well.
This is down to the unique three-way power con-
trol dial situated at the bottom of the shaft. This
makes the shaft looser or suffer and can be varied
depending on the type of game you're playing. The
stick and its buttons are fully micro-switched and

Also available from th e Competition Pro Series is the Competition Pro Extra. This
■of the Pro 5000 which, normally, is coloured the standard
is a transparent version
black and red. The Pro Extra contains the additional feature of an auto-fire button
giving mega- blast rapid fire, short rapid burster single shot.
The two large fire but-
tons provide ease of use
for both right and left-
hand operation. For
some with smaller hands
though, it becomes quite
a strain to keep your
thumb stretched onto
the stick. Both joysticks
are good all-rounders
that promise durability.
Quite possibly the most papular joystick ever created. Just ^
about everyone I know has got one and that's simply
because if handles like a dream.

best selection nf jnysticlB available far the Bmiga
Cruiser Turbo
This is very much like its cousins, the Cruiser Multi-
Colour and the Cruiser Black, but it has one dis-
tinct advantage and that is the turbo/rapid
auto-fire option,
This tittle beast is only really useful when play-
ing shoot-'em-ups for that little bit of extra and
faster fire-power, but for this type of game it
really is a god-send,
The Cruiser Turbo is very comfy, fits in the hand
nicely and responds very well, thanks to its eight-
way micro-switches. The Cruiser Turbo also has the
evec-so useful three-way variable tension control,
Apart from the auto-fire cption r this Cruiser isn't
much different from its counterparts, but if fast
fancy firing is your "thang" then I guess this is the
joystick of your dreams - but bear in mind that rt
does cost you a little more.

Cheetah Mach 1 £10.99
This IS quite a large joystick but very easy to
use nevertheless. The long, gripped handle
fits nicely into the palm of the hand, with
comfortable ridges to place year fin
gers round, The two fire buttons
are located conveniently at the
very top and around the side of
the stick.
An additional two buttons are
provided on the base and the
eight directional micrOSwitChed
control feels light and very-
responsive.
The auto-fire button is placed on
the base but it sometimes seems to fa
halfway between the two without even
touching it. The joystick also makes a worry-
ing. metal on plastic clicking noise when
you're playing a game that requires fast
joystick work.
Games that require a fast response but
don't need absolute precision Will benefit
from this joystick as it is very light on the
controls, it is comfortable to hold but
doesn't really feel as though it will last.
Navigatir £15.99
Perhaps the most unusual looking joystick out of this little batch and even
though it looks like something out of Star Trek, it does work surpris-
ingly well. This stick has been specifically ergonomically designed so
that it ensures a perfect fit, no matter how big or small your hands
are.
It is unlike your average joystick and it will take a while before
you get into the swing of controlling it. It as perfect for shoot-'em
ups as the fire- button is placed right next to your trigger finger,
The Navigator is fully micro-switched and has a, and I quote,
"unbreakable
robust steel shaft, it cer-
tainly won't appeal to
every gamesolayer, but l
expect that most of you will be
pleasantly surprised at how well it
performs,
The Navigator is one of those
sticks that you're either going to
love to bits or hate to death and I seriously recommend
that you try it out before you buy..
Along with the Navigator, the Speed King has its joy-
stick shaft placed directly on top of its main body.
This style of joystick might not go down too well
with the computer purist, but 1 think you'll be more
than happy with its overall performance.
The Speed King is ergonomically designed to fit
snugly in your hands. It's fully micro- switched and
thus responds well to your joystick movements. The
fire-button is ideally situated on the side of the joy-
stick body and can be easily accessed whenever it is
required.
The Speed King won't suit everyone's tastes and it
isn't the most beautiful joystick out on the mar-
ket but it's so easy to handle and has such a bril-
liant name that I heartily recommend it

ames characters aren't exactly the first
things that spring to mind when contem-
plating the mysteries of the universe, put
they are really quite an intriguing subject to
explore.
Have you ever wondered how programmers
develop a sprite for a game? Have you considered
why some characters become almost household
names while others fall into the pits of failure, or
even worse, insignificance?
Wonder no more as System probe the minds of
some of the best programmers, designers and artists
from so^e of the country's top software houses.
Perhaps the first aspect to consider is the appeal of
the character, but this is an indefinable value that is
hard to judge. It is obviously a very difficult thing to
pin down and a lot is down to personal taste.
If software houses knew a set formula for what
guarantees appeal then there would be not one duff
game on the shelves and some very wealthy pro-
grammers! This is obviously not the case, so what do
software companies look for?

Q
guidelines: “The audience
must be able to believe - no
matter how far they stretch
Q their imagination - that this
character identifies with
them.
"For example, Zig and Zag
are aliens, but they have the
attitude of two boisterous
young boys. Beavis and
Butthead are two teenagers
M who have slightly more adult
WW appeal. You have to look at
the intended audience and
say 'Does this have natural
appeal?" 1
Simon McCormack of
Codemasters sees it like this:
"for a game aimed at
younger players, the character
should be simple and fun,
more magical than streetwise.
Characters for older
players need more
about them, elements of humour, slap-
stick, pie in your face, the way
enemies are disposed of, a
hip attitude, a hit
of destruction, explo-
sions, speed, a
guest. Hopefully, the
player sees him/her-
self as the character
-identifies with it."
Whatever shape
the character takes
on, from simple
blobs to beauti-
fully animated
creatures, they must
be believable and have a
personality. Whether it is
a cool, streetwise attitude or cute and loveable, pe j
sonality is vital.
"Character is the fundamental basis for a good
design - unless you actually want something blar;
and two-dimensional. Stance and expression have t:
be explored to show the qualities you want to po r
tray," explained Toby Card of Core Design,
This is one way in which bought licences have a*
advantage- their personality has already been estab-
lished, usually in a cartoon, for example.
They also have an established market hut cost the
software house a great deal of money in royalties
and can restrict development in trying to stick
closely to the original to keep fans of the
character happy.
Getting back to humble begin-
nings though, it's the ease of
the Chicken and the Egg -
well, more precisely the sprite
and the game. Which comes
first? Where does a company
start on the road to designing a sprite?
Is there a strong character in mind from the
start or is it built to fit the concept of the
game?
Core Design's Guy Miller states; "Invariably,
the characters evolve as the game progresses,
sometimes so much so that the original
character sketches bear little or no
resemblance to the finished product,"
Paul Green, -designer and graphic
artist for Gremlin points out; "'You can't just produce
a game based on a few sketches of the main charac-
ter, neither can you have a game idea and plonk any
old character into that realm. It's a fine blend of
both, which must be refined and sorted time after
time until you've got the mix completely right."

MARKETING
Even when the end game is looking good, market-
ing is crucial and could make the difference between
success and failure. It's obviously easier to market
an existing character like the cartoon characters,
but for a new character it is important that they
are strong enough to sell the game.
“A good, strong character can be an excellent
hook on which to market the game and I think
it's vital that the game has goad, strong charac-
ters because, initially at least, the punter may
only have these to go an - the characters as
shown on the box cover," explained
Guy Miller. Once a company has the suc-
cessful character - the vital ingredients
that make it a winner
and the game has
been well mar-
keted, then what?
Should they sit
back in the satis-
faction of a job
well done or

yet very Successful, and has been adapted to
play in every type of game. He has a personal
tty and a background which help to bring him
alive in the game, yet his. simplicity means he is
adaptable to many forms." - Simon
McCormack, Codemasters.
"James Pond obviously was successful. Here
we have a game that stars a secret agent that is
a Cod, In James Pond 3 he is running around
the Moon, which stretches the realms of belief
right to the limit. Pinkie has already proved
himself to be a good property, because he
reflects nineties values." - Keith Smith,
Millenium.
"'The Battletoads were incredibly successful
in the states - probably because they rode on
the backs of the Turtles phenomena., which was
much bigger in the US than over here.
'It was just a matter of being in the right
pFace at the right time with the right well-
designed characters in their own we 1 1 -designed

to Fuck - that and having lots of money to
begin with - to get the product to as wide an
audience as possible, - - Guy Miller, Core
Design.
"Rick Dangerous, well, I'm pleased with him,
he made it to a sequel and across six formats,
He was likeable, funny and the game had
plenty of twists and turns that made you go
back to it for just one more go." - $imon

The unlikely dijMttfr of a
fish has proved incredibly
tucrnjfvl for Millennium
pushing it into other fields?
On the one hand, if you
a good character and
another company want to use it
to endorse their products then
al I is wd I and good - both pa r-
tSes reap rewards from the
deal and sell more of their
products. But on the other
hand, in the extreme it could
have a detrimental effect on
the minds of the young.
Views within the industry on this
are mixed to say the least. Simon Phipps of Core
Design stated: "We must make the choice as to
whether we wish them to grow up as individuals,
capable of making informed choices, or whether they
will grow up the eternal prey of the marketing men,"
According to Paul Green from Gremlin; "You have to
capitalise On the market. It may sound cut-throat but
after all, every company is in existence to make
money. 11
'Why can't game characters become commercial
property in other fields? Twelve years ago you
couldn't move for p Six million dollar man' merchan-
dise, and eight years ago who could ignore the
Smu rfs or the Womb les ?
"Everyone is up in arms because we are guilty in
their eyes of polluting children^ minds but
rt r s only the medium that's changed. Instead of cereal
packets ifs now computer games," said Keith Smith
of Millennium, Taking all these aspects into account
it is apparent
that software
houses have huge
obstacles to over-
come in design-
ing games characters. They are up against an
increasingly choosy public and have to
compete against all the other releases
that hit the shelves. They have to be
spot on every time, especially in a
market where mistakes prove
very costly, and must move
with the times ahd
with current trends
which change con-
stantly.
Giving an inani-
mate picture a personality
and making it come alive is
fundamental in producing a
good character and they must achieve this in their
design. All these are pretty tall orders and take great
time and thought to get exactly right. 5 q, next time
you pick up a game it's worth considering just what
has gone into the design of the character.

Hot on the tail of the floppy format (reviewed Amiga
Compute Issue 76} d Core Design have pressed the
play button on the £D32 version.
The storyline remains the same - it's the age of
Ragnarofc. Odin tells of a place called the Hall of Worlds
where you can travel from one dimension to the next via
portals.
While in one of these worlds, 0dm is presented with a talisman which freezes the
wearer. Unfortunately, Odin smashes the talisman and throws it into four different
portals.
Heimdall, hero of the piece, is selected to try and find the pieces, and thus freeze
the ever mischievous Lola
While the storyline's the same, the graphics have been spruced up. Now resplen
dent in 256 colour, the CD32 version rather obviously outshines it's floppy counter
part - and this is saying something because the normal A5QQ version is colourful
enough, The other significant difference is the musical accompaniment. This has been
totally revamped for CD

Eye of the Beholder 2
Treading down the precarious RPG dungeon-type foot-
prints of its older brother comes Eye of the Beholder.
Obviously a sequel, Eye of the Beholder starts where its
relative left off.
The story places you at the foot of a forest on your way
to a temple controlled by a religious cult. Once you're
inside the temple of Darkmoon the cult send you on a mis-
sion to find someone in the forest
The forest section is well animated and gives your
format and sounds brilliant
It's a kind of movie mon-
tage where Spartacus
meets Robin Hood {Kirk
Douglas meets Errol Flynn,
interesting - Ed) and adds
loads of atmosphere.
Heimdall 2 is filled with
playability and blends a
nice combination of puz-
zles, combat and magic
with Norse mythology -
which makes a pleasant
change from ores, hobbits
and all Tolkein's other
Middle- Earth bores.
If l had a criticism it would be directed towards the control system. You can't really
single Core out as responsible for this though. I'm afraid the guilty finger points
towards Commodore.
In designing a joypad all pad and no |0y — that would have Punce Charles
screaming carbuncle, Commodore have rendered it impossible for software houses to
produce easily playable g^mes,
Anyway, that aside, Core Design have released a highly enjoyable, if tricky, 3D iso-
metric adventure. CD32 owners haven't had much to shout about yet,

their strengths up a little,
Once your four adventurers
have completed this little
task you can go for a romp in
the dungeons that lie below the
temple.
So far as play is concerned. Eye of the Beholder 2 is lit-
tle different to many other RPG titles. It employs similar
systems to Dungeon Master for magic, combat , view and
just about every other control you could think of.
This doesn't make for a poor game though, because
Eye of the Beholder 2 is a quality bit of slashing and sway-
ing. The graphics are very well drawn, if a little juddery,
and the effects, while limited, are extremely clear and
concise.
Perhaps a minor criticism might be that It's a little lin-
ear and restrictive, and doesn't really allow you to explore
without finding something and knocking hell out of it.
But, aside from this. Eye of the Beholder 2 is a classic
investment for any lover, neigh admirer
even, of this genre.

Frequently
asked
questions
Q How do you arrange a PO &o*
number?
A The first step is to call your local Post
Office and ask for the munber of the local
district Customer Services Dept- They
give you the number and you can then call
Customer Services and get a run down of
the current conditions and charges It used
to be £M per year.
Q Is It worth getting VAT registered?
A, Ydu are not liable for VAT until your
ean^ngs have reached a certain level, snd
quite a high level at thai You can register
for VAT before you reach that level but it's
not advisable as you then have to charge
VAT to your customers and get VAT receipts,
plus, you have to do your VAT returns every
three months
It's a messy business and best left alone
until it becomes necessary Your accountant
can advise you on this subject.
o should you get ah accountant?
A Yes They cost very little and save you
huge amounts of tax money. Not only that,
the tax office is more likely to beliwe your
accountant that you haven't earned- any
money IN* year fran they are you.
Getting an accountant costs nothing,
you only pay when they do your accounts,
and all through the year before and after
that they are on hand to give you advice
whenever you get a scary letter from the
TAX w DHSS peopte- Accountants are worth
their weight in money.
O Where can I get advice on
designing my business plan?
A Any high street bank will have a financial
advisor who will be happy to advise you on
any aspect of starting and running a
business.
Setting up
O . he world is changing every
ft day and more people are
f taking the hint that new
technology could transform: theif
lives. Some of them are setting up offices at
home, so they can spend a more relaxed
time working from home once in a while It
lakes the stress out of high pressure jobs
and boosts productivity.
For those in high pressure jabs which
don't allow working from home. The option
to go freelance (and the hell with emf is an
nice way out Bui can you do this using
your Arraga, and how do you start to pur
Together a home office? Well. I can tell you
because I did it.
Working from home sounds like such an
idyl fie thing to do. doesn t itT The fridge is
only a few steps away, full of cod beets and
that nice ham you got from Samsburys the
other day which would sit beautifully on
that crusty bread.
You can step out in the fresh an for a
second if you like, sit with your feet up on
the desk, play NucrearTrooserpress Invaders
until the cows come home, right? Weil,
ctoy so you ha-v« to do work too. but you
can choose when and where you do it,
right?
The thing is that working from home is a
blessing and a curse. You can do all of the
above and more, but you also have to find
work, do work, issue invoices, chase money
and then start the whole degrading process

over again. Plus you have to find the time to
do your accounts, pay your m and national
insurance, maintain your equipment figure
out how much you >e getbng paid and if
thafs more or less Than your outgoings,
think about the future of your business and
how to make rt grow, and occasionally you
might get a weekend off
So let's take this slowly. First question
What dD you need?
Well a computer 'would be nice Oh look,
I've got ah Amiga, wilt that do? Of course it
will, meathead It's the finest (and cheapest!
graphically stunning, fast multitasking
computer that money can buy
Well, that 1 s that then, job done. Now
where s the newspaper Hold on, what if
someone wants to send me a fax? Offices
have them, you know.
Fan modems are all over the place, and
this kills two birds with one stone. First it
gives you fax capability very cheaply,
Secondly it gives you a nice fait modem,
whrcti is the key tool »f you wish to be a
work-ac-home bod or a telecommuter.
Fax modems are just like normal ones
except they have a special chip set which
allows them to be used (with appropriate
software) as a fax machine
Tlbe two really worth looking at are
cither the US Robotics Sportster 1 4,450 of
the Supra 1 4.400 Fax modem. Ydu get a
brilliant fax plus a sprightly r 4.400 baud
modem, and both are now under £ 1 50. ir
is definitely worth shelling cu t the extra, as
slow moderns cost you money rn the long
Tldrt,
UOIlt (T1H11
It's worth mentioning the GVF
PhonePak, as this solves a number of
problems in one easy card that slips into a
Ion o Slot. It's a fax machine, but it's also an
answering machine and a folly configunadic-
votce mail system. With it you can create
voice mail boxes, or a fuiy-autornated help
line, for use with touch tone phones.
One of the next things you will need is a
printer for sending letters, printing out
headed paper and doing artwork for
business cards etc In this day and age a
dot matrix Just doesn't cut it as the all round
If only I knew then
I ve been running my own business r*ow for about five years and I had to learn all this
stun from scratch So what advice would I pass on if asked? IR hard to knew where to

Workout a monthly budget. Write down on a sheet everything you need
every month, then you'll have an idea how much you have to earn and still have some
pennies left over id buy essentials I ke food and compact discs.

OK, $0 they aren't too bat:' in Colour., but
-v the price of colour mlyets is coming
: xvn you really don't Kwe to think about
them. If you want a black and white prrnter,
- ' for either a Canon Bubbldet HJ20 or
Hewieti Packard DeskJet 55.0
In colour go for either the Canon BU Or the
HP DeskJet colour inkjets, or even the A3
""■'rdefs from the same makers. After that
(Wu're in Jaser printer territory, and J hate to
say t but the Appre Personal LaserWriters look
■fry nice for the price.
Ah. but is a big box machine necessary? A
ot of this stuff seems to run on Zonro cards
and the tike. so do you need a 2CKKL 3000 or
’•000 to run a home office. No, not really.
Most of the applications a re just as happy
>n a base level Amiga as they are m a topnDf-
tbe-range workstation, you can run just as
good a business on a 1 ZOO as you can on a
4000.
Once you get started wrth software it's
Paid to know where to stop For example, do
you need a DTP program like Professional
Page, or wl! a word publisher like Wordworch
or Pinal Copy do?
It depends realty on what you have in
rT iind Most word publishers wilt be okay for
correspondence |esp«iaJly with a nice inkjet
orinteg, and perhaps a simple newsletter, but
for .magazines and more advanced textual
ff po f ng and jiggling, you'fi need the services
of a DTP program.
One bp. if you do use a DTP program, limit
yourself fo two fonts - one for headline; and
one for main texts. [This is an Amiga
Computing Instant Design Sense Tip: just add
water . }
On the more serious side, spreadsheets
and databases are used by a Jot of home
based businesses to keep tabs on the
accounts and products, if indeed you actually
make something to keep tabs on
Both the major pieces of software, Kipcead
4 and Superbase 4, incorporate the ability to
import and export files to and from the
industry standard program; on other
platforms, like Lotus 1-2=3, dBase and Excef.
This means whatever systems are
installed at the site you are working for.
you can pretty much send and receive data
from them. Obviously the level of
compatibility only extends to a limited
range of commands, but for most purposes
tin; won't oresent too many emblem;.
Gome nn-LifiE
For example you don't use EVERY word
in the English language arl the time, do
you? So why would you use every SQL
term or 1 -2-3 command?
So (S it worth being cm GX and
CompuServe? Berng pan of an on*fine
service rj invaluable for two reasons - being
abfe to talk to peop le when you're stuck at
home working all day, and for getting
contacts for work. A/though CompuServe is
a trrfle more expensive than QX, it's worth
being on CompuServe if you are in business
consultancy, PS or marketing, because of
the wealth of up-to-date infottnatiDn you
can buy on all these topics.
CompuServe costs SS 95 per month |as
it s based in the USf, and there are on-line
charge; during the day until after 7pm
when the basic connect time a Free, and on
fop of that you have to pay for anything
other than oasic services on 3n hourly rate.
CIX has a LZ5 registration fee, plus a
connection charge of E2.5Q per hour off
peak and G 60 per hour peak rate.
It's worth being on Deiron internet too.
as this has a registration fee of E I Z 5 plus a
flat rate of E f0 per month This allows you
full access to ail the internet resources and

TUTOR 1 R l
O ast month we looked at the
Amiga and some erf Ihfi software
tools needed for desktop video
production. Now aur attention
turns to those peripherals which are essential
for getting images in and out of ytxif Amiga.
I m fully aware that the Amiga I 200 we
are taking as our example machine has both
composite and RF video outputs available,
and pretty good they are too.
If you simply want to -record graphics from
your Amiga to video tape - or just watch
them on IV- then there's no reason to start
worrying about buying a genlock, because
you obviously don't need one.
It s when you want to start putting
computer graphics over video images that
you should start thinking about gentocks
and, short of investing in a pretty heavy-duty
vision mixer and timebase corrector |TK|
setup with good keying facilities, there's no
easy way to overlay Amiga graphics onto
video without one.
In order to mi* graphics with video it is
essential that the timing of the .Amiga's video
display is matched exactly to that of the
incoming video signal
This rs a major part of a genlock's I’short
for Generate Lock} function, and works by
extracting timing information from the video
signal and then sending corresponding
puher to the Amiga via its external clock
mput in order ta synchronise the computer
to the video signal.
Many better-constnxted genlocks don t
necessarily require a video input to be
present |a genlock can also be used to
encode' the Amiga's RGB output into a
Connecting up a genlock is easy, but
you need some extra video
equipment to use one- Obviously the
kind of genlock you bay depends as
much on what you have to spend as
the quality and features you with to
obtain.
Of the cheaper, composite video
genlocks, the only one f would
recommend for less than EIOO
would be Lola Electronic s LSOO
MlnIGEN, if you need something 0
bit more flexible take a look at the
€t49 LI 00 MiniPftO (again from
Lola],
a know that the RocGen genlocks
are quite popular, but t wouidrt t
personally recommend them as I ve
always found their quality and
operation to be inferior to
comparably-priced (or sometimes
cheaper!; devices.
As far as YfC genlocks go, check
out GVP't G-Loch (around E?40| or
Electronic Design s Y/C Genlock
[E399], both of which offer pretty
good value for money nowadays. Of
course there are also other models
available.
Picture
in
Canj UJhitelM continues his
home uideo escapades
bq showing qou
how to min in
the graphics
signal which can be recorded by a VCR|
because they have what rs known as a ‘free
run' mode.
However, it is usually better to feed the
genlock with video so that it really does get
the proper timing signals Cheaper, and less
weikJesigned genlocks requrre a video
signal to be constantly present - which can
be a pain rf you don't otherwise need to
have one available.
Once the Amiga is locked to the video
signal me next operation a genlock
performs is to overlay the Amiga's graphics
onto the incoming video images.
HIV tOlOUR
This is done by 'keying' - in
other words by replacing certain
areas of the Amiga graphics with
video images - usually by using a
designated cotour as the key
COkHir.
The most commonfyHJsed key
colour is palette Colour Zero - the first
cotour in any Amiga colour palette. Tiki
Is the default background colour in
Deluxe faint and most other graphics
and presentation programs, and is often
black or dark blue (though the actual hue
doesn't matter in the Peast|
A genlock reads the information coming
out of the Amiga's Zero Detect line, and
every time it finds that a pixel contains
Colour Zero it quickly switches the output
signal to the video image. rather than the
non-Colour Zero Amiga graphic which
would otherwise be output from the
genlock.
This swrttblng occurs very rapidly as the
complete video screen is scanned from top
to bottom every I /25th of a second, and
results in the Amiga graphic being keyed
(or, more correctly, key switched} over the
video images. More sophisticated genlock
effects are also possi ble, and circuitry can
be incorporated to produce inverse Keymg
(video only shows where nornColour Zero
graphic! occur|. user-controlled fading
between graphics and video, and also Che
ability to select palette colours other than
Colour Zero to be the key colour.
Some genlocks even incorporate simple
wipe patterns, but to my mind these are
mostly relatively expensive gimmicks which
have Fiftte or no real artistic value.
One important aspect of choosing a
genlock is to ensure that it is compatible
with both your Amiga and your video
equipment, As far as the A 1 200 goes, it is
only possible to use external-mounting
genlocks with it, ruling out those models
which mount internally into the box-shaped
Amigas - the 1 500/2000/3000/4000
ranges,
If you have S-VHS or Video 8 equipment
you should obtain a genlock with Y/C
connections in order to obtain the best
possible quality If not you’ll probably end
up with a composite-only one which will
tend to degrade your video images, making
them muddier and hence somewhat less
viewable
t guess there have been times when
you've wondered how you can capture an
image and then use it m an Amiga graphics
or animation program.
In fact, there are a couple Df different
ways of doing this - namely video digitising
I U I □ H I fl L
and picture out

do M«d m go ad video enure*, part icularty
urban timing ilow mean digitrsorv,
and irnage Manning As we are particularly
Interested in capturing from video 111 just
mention that scanning involves reading a
printed' .image with a device somewhat akin
to a reversed photocopier which converts the
image into digital data that a computer can
understarid.
A good flat-twd scanner, along with the
software to drive it, can easily cost over £800,
so scanners aren't likely to be a popular Item
amongst stony broke video makers,
DIGITISERS
On the other hand, while quite cheap,
hand-scanners are unlikely to provide either
the image size or quality needed tar video
work, so the only viable alternative is a video
digitiser
Like genlocks, digitisers come in a rarige of
flavours and prices, The cheapest ones start at
well under £ too and offer reasonable-looking
grabbing jas it rs often knownf, put at the
expense of qua% and speed - and they
require a video deck with a rock-solid fnwze-
frame.
However, not everyone needs cop-quality
images and with an AGA machine such as the
A I ZOO me results can stifl look excellent. So Jf
your budget is tight, and you want Y/C
compatibility. Consider Rombo's Vidi Amiga 1 2
as a good bet
! f you want better quality 'and you should
think about adding more RAM to your Al ZOO
if that's the case - (hen a fast scanning, high-
quality digitiser should do the irrcfc.
Fast scan digitisers can grab a whole frame
of video in real-time because of special
memory incorporated into them, whereas
srow scan models only grab a chunk at a
time.
Rombo offers two fast scan models - she
m Amiga 1 2RT [£ 1 99| and the 24RT f£299f,
the mam difference &emg that the 1 2RT
cannot g rab in interlaced modes.
Again, with an Al 20fl this probably
doesn f matter much and you'll save £1 DO by

buying the 1 2l?T, There rs also an external
version of MacroSystem's VLad card ,|tfie
VLab PAR - £302| which casts a bit more
than the Vidi Amiga 24R7 but doesn't have a
Yj'C input.
The better digitisers can also grab
sequences of frames, though not at full
speed, so if you want to do effects such as
automatic ume lapse then these are for you.
The Vidi software includes image
processing and format conversion routines
to help knock the images into the size and
look you require. Once you Ve grabbed an
image you can incorporate if into any of
your g.mpbrrs work, provided it rs saved m a
suitable- format
Al the digitisers mentioned above can
save IFF files as standard, so this shouldn t
be a problem. You could import the image
into DParnt and incorporate if into an anim
Ithough this will most likely requite extra
RAWf, or use if as the basis for a video tide
screen.
If you have a program like ADQRagp you
can make a neat animation by choporng the
image into kttie Ms and reassembling them
automatically after potting them through
sotw very fancy moves.
Captu r ed urages can also be used in
desktop presentations and DTF [maybe you i, !
want to print some vrdeocassette sleeve
inserts for your finished tape). as welf as
output through your Amiga/geniock setup
back to tape as part of your video
production.
Well thars all far tints month Next I Jl be
looking af what you need to get started on
the home video trail.

ne of the greal thkngs about word-
| processors and rexr editors which
n have ARexx interfaces is that it's
possible to create sophisticated
search and replace facilities by build ng the
appropriate macros.
Yw might for instance have some
documents that contain dimensions and
werghts which need! to be converted to their
metric equivalents, weights in fbs to kilos for
example and this would mean n^t only
changing the lbs' units to 'kilos' but also
altering the numerical values by dividing each
weight by 2.20S |since 2 205 Jb = I kilo],
Feet/inches to centimetres, pints to
millilitres etc., there are hundreds of Situations
where similar types of conversion can be
useful
Moreover, when you have documents that
Include, say. tables containing a whole set of
values that need converting, then it is
obviously better to have the process
automated because the chance of errors
being introduced is eliminated once a tried
and tested conversion macro .s available for
use.
It is, however, only worth creating macros
to do this sort of thing if you ca'n write the
macro quickly enough to make it an economic
proposition ume wise.
The trick here is to have ready-made
fragments of code available that you can copy
and modify- to do particular jobs and the
example code thrs month is just such a oiece
of code.
PRTIERfl
It s a procedure called ModifyBtockg that
can be given a block of text along with the
units to be changed, the name of the
replacement unit and an appropriate
conversion factor, and it will return the block
with the deseed changes m place
Once you've got the general idea, crearmg
your own specialised procedures for do.ng this
type of th-rig is not hard because the guts of
the routines tend to follow the same pattern
Split the text up rnto words, sea rch for the
word or words that you are interested m,
convert them, and then reassemble the text
block. If the conversion to be performed is not
straightforward enough to be written with a
few lines of code, it as probably better to write
a separate procedure for the conversion
function and then call that from the
generalised code that isolates the individual
words,
Don't forget that compound variables, such
as wordS i and wordS .j in the exampre routine
can always be used as parameters for other
procedures.
Too could, if desired, extend this month s
example code by passing and collecting the
isolated number and unit values usmg these
types of statements:
i. ■ d5 . i ^ t h a - .q tV ii r d 1 tuordi. i>
uordi. j*th BngeliDrd 2 tuordi. j I
isolating the conversion-specific code is
actually quite a- good idea because you don't
then have to make any changes ro the
structure of the parts of the routine that
identify the required words in the text.
macros built
for change
If you were a teacher wirh a whote series of
maths tests on disk involving conventional
base I D arithmetic and you wanted to create a
macro that toulcl automatically convert all the
test paper sums and answers to base 2 or
some other base, the idea would be to pass
the identified numbers to a specialist routine
that returned the converted value like this
uordt J*Cemr(Hiu*berlvordJ.1 J
For illustration purposes I've just couoled
the ModifyBlockilj orocedure to a short test
program that passes some example text
containing a couple of lbs' values and gets
the values converted to kilos
In your own programs you would, of
course, use your editor's for word -processor's}
own ARexx-speefie nstmctions to collect fines
or paragraphs from- the document being
edited
Incidentally, don 't get thrown by [he doJlar
■|S I signs at the end of some of my variables -
this « just a convention that ( use on those
occasions where variables are dearly used for
text strings The variable used to hold a brock
of texL sS therefore labelled block S, whereas
the variable used to hold the value for unit
conversion ^conceptually a number} rs called
conversion_fartor.
ARexx variables are, of course, typefess
and internally ARexx treats ail such values as
strings anyway. Nevertheless, I find that
adding a little pseudontype information serves
as a useful purpose during the development
Of ARexx code and you'll see this convention
used rn all the code 1 write,
Talking of code, you 'I see that I've chosen
a very obvious way of look.ng for values to
change in this month s example. Look for a
number and then check to see whether the
subsequent word indicates the correct
units
it works but there is one improvement that
can cut the execution time of the routrne in
half, if you Jike puzzles then nave a chink
about the current version of the code and
see if you carl spot the change to be made
before the next issue lets you in on the
secret!

SEPTEMBER 19^4
[||1 pit videograpbers assume that if an
I im^ge rs to appear on video it h^s fa
LUJ ^ animated. In tact, like dny other
artistic exploit D7V productions can always
frenetic from a little light ana shade.
If a project is solely composed of a constant
stream of ever-changing animated images, it can
become rather monotonous - a brief glance ar
che average tow-budget muirt video is testament
to that.
if you're tryjng to make a point, during a
documentary for example, strlfs are an excellent
way of adding an authoritative news feel Also,
if you're an animator stills can be a very
convenient method of stretch ng the production
without forcing your system to expend a huge
amount of effort on additional animated
sequences.
Another obvious bonus is that stilus often
provide the only opportunity to display your
creations as they realty are, rather than being
forced into a compromise - as is often the case
when imagery is compiled into an amm format.
if you're the lucky owner of one of the many
24-bit display boards, stilus may be the only
method you 'll ever have to show your work at its
best
Obviously some of the modes offered via the
AG A come pretty close, but even with the best
efforts of HamS there's stilJ a noticeable
difference between the two.
As I'm sure you're aware there are countless
methods Of importing images into the Amiga
bur basically the process, invariably boils down to
either scanning or frame grabbing
in the case of frame grabbing the conversion
from live video to a still Is relatively painless. As
you're already dealing with a video legar image,
there's no palette adjustment necessary to avoid
the dreaded colour Weeding so often associated
with composite video
This fs a regular problem when you re
employing scanned images which contain colour
saturations that exceed 3 97 or approximately 12
within the Amiga 's colour register
in Simple terms this means you must be
careful during selection. If you suspect an
element of [he image is over saturated check it
our in a paint package and make tne necessany
adjustments before you compile
ideally it's always best to run rendered or
scanned images through an image processor
such as ADPro or JmageFX. Both packages allow
you ro appty broadcast saturation control
operators which will ensure perfect results,
Even though the saturation levels are within
the correct levels rt’s sometimes worth adding a
keylmc - especially to brightly coioured logos
and texr to ensure they don [ bleed in later tape
generations.
this can be done very easity via Dpainfs
outline function which applies a user-defined
outline in the colour of your choice around the
selected brush. If you do decide to use this
option always out for a da r k preferably black -
outline colour
Even though vrdeo grabs are " colour legal' if
daesn t mean they re completely free bom harm
One of the most frequent grabbing disasters is
image blur, a phenomena which is usually
accompanied by a horrendous amount of
interface flicker,
This happens afi the time when dealing with
fast action. Fortunately there is an answer,
which although not idear is a lot better than the
mrgrameiriducing effect of a particularly flickery
grab.
Ail the mam image processing programs such
as ADPro. Image Master and ImageFX offer a
de-inferlace option as standard - and it s also
fairly likely that rhe software used to grab the
image will offer a sim.lar feature
Because all video images use two alternating
fields to effectively double the resolution of the
image, interlace flicker something you have to
come to terms with.
in affect, deinterlacing divides the two signals
mfo their respective fields. As a result the flicker
between the two JS removed - but alas this
inevitably means you lose half the original
resolution.
Therefore, always remember to double the
height of a de-interlaced image before addmg -r
into a sequence,
If we assume the images are ready for video
and in the correct proportions - interlace with
maximum overscan - it's time to add them to the
production There are several ways to achieve
trips, wifh perhaps the most impressive being
Scaia which can introduce stills with a varreiy
of wipes and fades.
If your finances won't stretch to Scala you
could employ a FD picture viewer or, even
better, load them into Vrew 3.6 - an excellent
anim player and picture wewer which is widely
^variable in the PD
With this program it's possible to compile
several images into an anim and ptay them back
frame by frame thanks io the program's single
frame advance feature.
When a series of stiJis are comb.ned with a
genlock the results can be stunning especially if
the stills are from the actual video on display.
Mow you can employ the classic TV trick of
'echoing'. How often dD we see a stifl frame
flashback of an athlete frozen for posterity white
field or information pop-up on-screen, ..
You can do the same, constantly flashing back
to the high spots of any event, perhaps with a
voice'over adding to the atmosphere.
Listen to me
Narration i* another great reason to employ stills if you have a mixture of live video,
computer graphics and music it's very difficult to add a voice-over without confusing the
viewer.
Once again the still can provide a quiet moment where an important voice-over can be
introduced and, more importantly, absorbed by the viewer.
Apart from sporting flashbacks, perhaps the beat place for such effects if within
documentary-style productions, If you re working for a client who wants to establish a
corporate ID. nothing impresses more than the occasional still of the boss or a panoramic
wide-angle shot of the new offices.
Finally, no matter what the subject or style of your Show, a genlock is a near essential
for a professional finish. Although direct exposures are useful - echoes being an example
- the option to fade stilts up or down through live video really adds to the production.

everything from bass drums and
lamtxHi/irtes, night through to the
'Ttore obscure instruments such sj the cabasa.
ftamely everything you 'bash' to play!
One might think that creating a drum
*:oQtmpaniment far a song played on a mulfr
t mbrai synch would .just involve selecting
suitable drum sound voices
rn fact it isn't quite Thar straightforward
because, set up in the conventional way, a muln-
timbrat synth wouid onfy he able play one voice
ber channel.
Even if you onfy wanted a bass drum, a snare
"urn, open and closed hi hats, a couple of toms
and a cymtfjl, you'd use seven channels and a
i srge chunk of your mulrj-timbrai capabilities
The solution rnvoh/es adopting an
Orangemen t whereby all percussion events are
sent on just one channel, with the note varoe
being used to indicate which particular
percussion voice should sound.
Same syntheses and expanders have a
aerial drum channel assigned for this purpose
but if you lake Che hardware that can do this,
•*dd some touch-pads which act as drum keys.,
(-corporate meirt&ry for storing drum patterns
'ltd finally add some software which permits (he
ireaticm and editing of rhythm patterns, you end
up with a uni t called a drum machine
Why mention these? A great many
synthesizers, especially chose slightly ofdEr
cadets, do not have any special
drum/percussion Facilities- Because of this, you
might need a drum machine in order ro add
: r um/percussion sounds to your song
arrangements,
As far as the recording and playing back of
percussion tracks is concerned, it is much the
ame as receding or pfaying back w dinary
jynih«teer dao. although there are a couple of
things to bear in mind.
iRHnsposmc
Firstly, you must not transpose drum channel
(feta because if you change the note values
you'll change the actual percussion voice being
played.
The effect of inadvertently transposing a drum
pert wiil sound desirous on playback -
warded bass drums might turn- into cymbals,
die snare drum might vanish and so on
Obviousfy it rj something that is easily fijced by
‘^transposing the data back into its original key,
‘hereby restoring the original note values. Some
sequencers (Dr T s KCS for instance] allow you to
protect" a specified Midi channel from
’-ansposmon fo# chrs very reason

out is that drum machines lor integral synthesizer
percussion facil. ties | vary enormously in the
number of different percussion sounds they can
provide.
Up until fairly recently, there was little
standardisation between different manufacturers
as far as whrch note number s would represent
which drum sounds
General Midi |GMj has improved matters here
because it has defined a set of standardised note
drum-voce correspondences that are always used
cm Mien channel 1 0 (the GM designated
percussion channel/.
ff you'vE been invoPved with Midi far some
time and have bj It up a large library of sequence
material, theresa potential problem looming
In order to make the most of commercially
arranged song and sequence library material, you
need to have your drum machine set up for the
GM drum note correspondences because most of
dws material is provided in GM compatible Midi
file format nowadays
However, in order to play your existing
material, you will still need your percussion unit
tJr Tt KCS allow* you to
protect ■ 6 p*citl«d Midi
gtwrm+l from rnnvwliiidA
set up to provide the drum note correspondences
that you originally used.
What can you do? Firstly, you can opt to keep
changing the drum note correspondences you
use. Secondly, you can remap all the GM
sequence material that you obtain so that it
corresponds to your original drum note
mappings Or lastly, you can remap all your
existing sequence data so that it then conforms,
as near as possible, to the GM arrangements,
Obviously the best long-term solution is the last
one because this wilf bong your Midi Wt-Up into
Irne with what has now become a firmly
established wxing scheme
Incidentally, many older drum machines (such
as the Yamaha RX2 ] | have fixed note drum-voice
correspondences which you cannot alter.
Avoid these Inke the plague when searching
for second-hand bargains and whatever you
decide to buy, do make sure that the drum
machine's noledrum -voice settings can be re-
configured.
Can you help?
-lose Amiga sequencers provide editing facilities that can be used to remap notes on a particular
nannel, but when you ve got prasitUj humtu-cb of sequence files this sequencer editing approach to
drum part remapping is both i^nte consuming and error prone
Moreovt'i many people nowadays lend io store rne<r sequences in Midi file form, so what wt ■ realty
need is a ‘configurable' drum track remapping utility that can wor- directly on Mid' files using source
tnd destination drum map informai-on suppiied by Che user
I've never been able to find a utility like this, so at rhis point I'm isking two favours Firstly, wme cwxl
ft me know 'f you ve ever come across such a utility |so that l can fell everyone else about it/
Secondly write and let me know if you would find such a utility useful f there s sufficient interest

around for some good ones

If you only buy one of these books

For those of you that don't have, or intend to buy, the internet Yellow Pages, ipoor misguided 1 souls;
here is thrs .month's drp into the Internet. I've been spending the last month looking up friends I only
ever talk to via e-marl. One such figure is Sreve R'oOerts, tech nomad You know, the guy who used to
ride around America on his recumbent bike loaded down with Sparcstanons and Macs?

There you will find all the info you need tD make your own mode of transport that not only gets you

And finally, do you have a question on a range of subjects as diverse as lock pickingL comics,

and about an ,*neh and a ha;f thick. It looks like the
sort of book you wouldn't like to enter without
stout walking boots and a foil pack of sleeping

Andr there it ts. A ample program, illustrating a
few cardinal rules of Amos. Make a small program
which automates e task and work outwards from
it. Although I'm still not sure about Frocs from the
standpoint of larger programs, in small programs
they are no slower than raking tne suiwoutine
route, so it's good either way.
Once agarn a neat proqqy from Malcolm, and
thanks for that.

1 asc month we set up everything to do
1 with paragraphs for am entry in our Final
jHbnjR "’JL-'riter style sheet. Now well complete the
style by adding jab settings and me type detarts.
load the document we wed ar the end of last
month's aiUcte and get the Main Styles requester on
to the screen by selecting Lj^r/Define Styte/Main.
In the Style Names list, click the Body style we
created previous^ and then the Define gadget
under the Tab Settings heading over an the right.
the moment mere are no tab settings, if you
don't need tab settings for this style, then you don't
have to worry about this requester Final Writer has
a default tab distance of half an inch and you can
alter Jhn In the Projert/PrefererKies/Docurnent items
The style
council
requester
The important fact to remember about tab
settings is that (he position is measured as a
distance from the left-hand margin setting, not from
the exact left of the page.
To set up a Lab position first hit foe New gadget
decide whar type of tab it is, then enter me position
You can have as many of each type of tab as you
like. but be careful 1 not to specify the same position
for two types - for example if you have a left lab set
at 2.0 and a centre tab set at 2. ft, then me second
one in the list will neve* tie used.
Notice that as you enter position figures, me fist
automatical sorts itstf into left-torrght order of
distance across the page
Select OK to accept your tab lettings, men select
define under rhe type settings heading This
requester is where you get to choose a typeface
and type style.
ffJt The sefecr gadget under the typeface name
heading. Final Writer wifi’ put up its font requester
which defaults to its own FWFOntsAWOLFonts
drawer frtxj may alter' tbn in the Final Writer icon s
ToofTypes.J Select a font and click OK.
Beneath the typeface name gadget is the colour
list. You'll probably want the mam body to be black.,
but tor other styles you may want to select a colour,
tf you don't own a colou' printer you wilt need to
experiment with these colours to see how they prmt

m mono. Despite what they say, size is important.
Body copy is normally anything between eight
point and f I point. Magazines, for example, are
generally set in 9 or PQ point, books are usual fy 1 f
point or perhaps 1 2 pernt if the lypeface is a small'
one,
For good readability leading should be about
>20 ': of the point size - so 1 0 point text ,s good
with f 2 pant leading (Written down as I 0/l2pt(.
Mote that the leading size includes the size of the
typeface, so 1 0 point re# with 1 2 .point leading
means there n two points of space between me
fines.
m siflms
The WxJth gadget enables you to condense or
expand a typeface For body copy it is better to buy
a typeface which has been specificaiy designed as
condensed or expanded, but for quick special
effects - in headings for example - make good use
Df the WMti gadget.
Likewise the Oblique gadget. You shouldn't
ready use thrs as a replacement for a proper
itaiiO'Sea typeface, bus it is very useful for adding a
new slant to your document
Over an the right of the type specs requester
you can select superscript or subscript from the
position dropdown menu, and beneatti that you
may sdect All Caps or Smaii Caps.
Smalt capitals are upper case letters
-I whose height matches the height of
the lower case fetters in that point
size Jthe >-height'l If a word has an
initial capital then that is left at its foil
— height and only the subsequent
fetters are put info smaif caps.
Finally we come to Style, which is
6* oatotul not to petition different
t*fe rtrima at lh> umt position
■ A good dmimuit' for
ioodina it about
f 20% Of ril» Itjtfl i ixm
a rather confusing name for what is merely a drop
down menu that enables you to select some
underline oplfons. Underlines make a document
look amateurish: use them sparingly.
Everything selected, hrt me OK gadget in the
type specs requester, then the OK gadget on the
main styles requester. Our style is now set up.
If you select Parsgraph/FontAtyfe Strip from
the view menu, the body style should appear in
the gadget at the top reft of the screen. Select
View/Show Style pafette fg get the body style
gadget 'nro a fioabng window if you prefer.
Remember, to save the style you must save the
document.
To the casual user this must alf seem Irlse a heil
of a Jot of wcuk just to get some text on the
screen in a particular typeface and size. Indeed it
is And you don't have to do it thrj way
However, the advantage is that you only have
to set up your styles once, after which any style
is literally one mouse click away Without styles
you would have to manually set air the
parameters every time you wanted to change
style,
Once you get used to the idea, J'm sure you IF
find it a much more productive way to create
documents, particularly if you want your
documents to have a consistent look to them
