Pentiums, P6 chips, millions spent
and vast fortunes in the making,
The question is, does the buying
public get a real bang for theii bud, or simply
end up enguKed in the aftershock of endless
investment and upgrades?
Given the money and marketing lavished on
the new breed of so calked 'user friendly 1 PCs,
it would seem there's no choice when it
comes to home computing. Like a double seal
on the train, you've got to get in first - stocks
wont last, buy or be laughed at. The marketing
pressure is intense.
There's no test byte, the all powerful PC sits
in shop fronts across the land struggling to
scroll a seemingly endless stream of virtues
before the eyes of any would-be investors. II
you want the best you've got to pay for it The
question is, what’s on sale here - the machine
or the marketing?
Just six months ago a friend of mine- quite
rightly bred of the seemingly endless wait for
the Amiga to get back on Hs little rubber feet.
After lots of reading and research he opted for
a quality PC. Even after a lot of bartering his
new baby still weighed in at a hefty El 400.
Problem child
At the time this new 'all singing all dancing'
sibling was the apple of his daddy’s eye,
Unfortunately, just six months on this rapidly
ageing 4&G DXII has become something of a
problem child-
The Pentium is now well and truly ruling
the roost, and his train spotting, acne ridden
DX is rapidly becoming a computing wall-
flower- The glossy games that added so much
attraction to the initial investment now
demand a Pentium to deliver the promise
so lavishly emblazoned m print and on the
packaging,
Like the average hot-hatch, his former pride
and joy would be lucky to generate a third of
its showroom asking price out on the street
And yes, I know Amiga's depreciate as well,
but the pain of depreciation is directly linked
to the initial investment. And in relation to
the PC, that's one area in which the Amiga
certainly scores some points.
Of course, pride and poverty doesn't enter-
tain the idea of selling up. After all "it's still a
serious machine that can run everything a
Pentium tan, 1 The point is, did he really want a
serious machine, or something that could play
games and still be taken seriously. Man,
machine and marketing in perfect turmoil.
The question of keeping up with the Jones’,
Pentiums, P6s is a familiar tale across every
platform, including the Amiga, However, the
forgotten hero does have few distinct advan-
tages in the dog eat dog world of the PC,
Not least of these is a generic background,
ivory Amiga sold has a standard architecture
and although this can be expanded upon with
assorted accelerators and ad-ons, the basic
structure remains he same. As a consequence,
developers are forced to work within prede-
fined guidefines which in the longterm benefit
all.
its true there's a fair amount of diversity
within the platform as a whole, but as a gen-
eral rule there is a degree of uniformity which
goes a long way to combating the evolutionary
f renzy that dogs the PC
The relaunch d the A 1200 may not be a
technological breakthrough, but at least it
offers an alternative to confusion, unnecessary
expenditure, and the marketing hype that sur-
rounds the constantly changing landscape d
the PC market
Perhaps the most important question for
any would-be buyer is not which machine is
the most powerful, but which is the most
appropriate. The gloss and glamour of the
Pentium and Microsoft marketing machine
leads many to overtook the real issues,
It's all too easy to fall into the dinner party
bore mentality and justify your investment by
reassuring yourself and others that if you
wanted too, you could rum Photoshop,
QuarkXPress, Microsoft Word and so on. But in
the cdd light of day, are you ever really likely
to? - especially considering that just one of
these blue chip applications could buy you an
The ads are glossy, the type is
at feverish pitch, but is there
really a safe distance when it
comes to the PC explosion?
entire Amiga, Admittedly, PC games and
indeed some applications are pulling away
from their Amiga counterparts, but so are their
prices and the cost in hardware required to
run them.
No CHANCE
Don't get me wrong. A 1 QOMHi Pentium with
1 6Mb of RAM, a quad-speed CD-ROM and 1 7
inch monitor is a very respectable machine.
But don't expect to get much change out of
E20C0. And be warned - this sort of spec is
rapidly becoming the entry point for a PC with
more than a six month shelf live,
Contrast that against the £350 asking price
for an A 1200 and you have a real incentive to
look long and hard at your reasoning, There
are almost as many reasons for investing in a
computer as there are computers on the mar-
ket However, if you ate in the market, make
sure you're buying the machine and not just
the marketing that surrounds iL By the way,
this shouldn't be a problem on the Amiga, as
there isn't any,..

D espite setbacks regarding the com-
patibility of the new Amiga drives,
Amiga Technologies have announced some
positive developments tor the future of the
Amiga.
Cilles Sour din. Head ol Public Relations
for Amiga Technologies, was positive about
the company's forthcoming plans and was
keen to express his delight at the response
to the recent Paris Amiga show held this
December He remarked: "in spite of the
(act France was in chaos [because of the
strikes] many people still came." It was esti-
mated that between 3,000 and 4,000 peo-
ple turned up to see, amongst other things,
the new Amiga 4000 Tower with the 060
ES FROM AMIGA
processor. Demonstrated on it was TV
Paintl.G with a Wacom Art Pad, "People
were very excited by the speed of the
set-up" Bourdin continued. A question
and Answer session took place on the
Sunday,
AT have also unveiled more on their
mystery Internet package due for release in
January, An exact price was not revealed
although they stated that it would be
below 1 100 DM {around £600} and would
include all the software needed to get on
the Internet bundled with an Al 200. This
would include a PC Slot Modem, TCP/IP
Stack, Web Browser, FTP program, E-mail
program and IRC program, A rumour that

Netscape was being ported over to the
Amiga was denied, Bourdin stated: "'There
will be a lot of new software coming out
lor the Amiga soon bom companies that
have never developed for the Amiga before
who previously work on PC and Mac prod-
ucts. There will be some Web Browsers of
very high-quality but we are definitely not
dealing with Netscape."
However, another rumour doing the
rounds was validated at the recent press
conference in Hannover. It was believed
that Apple had offered Amiga Technologies
a port of QuickTime and at the conference
which was attended by Executives from
Apple, Germany, the deal was confirmed-

Qompatiblity reply
E oil nwmg last month's report that owners of the new Amiga Magic Packs were experieno
■ mg compatibility problems, Amiga Technologies gave us their response: "We have noticed
that there are some problems with games software on the new Amiga A 1 200 J s, To resolve this,
we are working on a hardware solution that will be fitted at no tost to the customer, by an
authorised Amiga Dealer."’
They continued; "To avoid such problems in the future, we kindly encourage that software
publishers make sure that the programs they develop respect the programming guidelines.
Amiga Technologies will be happy to process any information requests horn developers con-
cerning this issue."

K eep an eye out in the forthcoming
months for a competition from Amiga
Technologies, The competition will be aimed
at bringing out fresh talented Amiga
programmers and artists, and wilt be run

sections
One is to program a demo such as a utility
or game and the other is for budding artists
to create something arty on the Amiga.
The competition will be open to all

TO FLY
I fa been months in development but Ocean have now announced that TFX is going ta
come out on the Amiga after all. Amiga Computing investigated claims that it wasnt
going to be released when a disgruntled reader called us, angry at having upgraded his Amiga
Specifically for the forthcoming flight sim to be then told that it wasn't coming out at all. We
reviewed the game back in May 1995 from the final AmigoD version and found it to be an
excellent game with the exception of a few bugs. We were also concerned that the game
would not nun satisfactorily on a standard A1200 which we reported at the time.
According to a spokesman from Ocean, DID decided It wasn't good enough and despite
problems with the original programmer, pressed on to make a version they were happy with.
We can happily report now that the game will be released in April and we hope to bring you a
re-review as soon as possible.
DID are also continuing to support the platform with another title in the pipeline. Details are
sketchy at the moment but we'll bring you more as we get it

UMOUR OF NEW AMIGA OS
A miga Computing have heard on the grapevine of a new operating system for the Amiga,
The information we have received so far is that it is not WB V4-1 and is a new third-party
OS. Apparently it's written in C and therefore PowerPC native. From the rumour we heard, it
will 'charge the way you will use your Amiga’' because of a system that works with 'modules
and a language similar to ARexx. Hm,

OFFER AMIGA TUITION
E ssex-based Springfield Multi
Media have announced their
latest initiative to give owners the
most benefit from the new Amiga
packs. The company have expanded
the pack with extra memory, a L200Q
genlock, and half a day of training on
how to use the package.
The company commented: "Quite
often new Amiga users, particularly
with video in mind, are left to strug-
gle, often buying inappropriate
software and hardware and rarely
obtaining the full benefit of their
purchases. Qur new Amiga pack
represents excellent value for money
by packaging it with additional mem-
ory and a superb genlock, together
with our training session, to make
sure the user is all set to gain immedi-
ate benefit," The complete package is
available for El, 150 from Springfield
Mufti Media. Contact them on 01245

If the thought of the dentists drill instils deep fear in you
then worry no longer because Virtual Products have a new
approach that could take the dentist-day blues away,
Virtual Products, the company behind the virtual reality
headset i-gl asses are now installing the headset into dentists
surgeries to take the patient's mind off the treatment they're
having.
The glasses allow the patient to
watch 3D films or listen
to music videos but
because ol the
glasses' 1 size and
weight, the dentist
can still access the
patient's mouth easily.
Through the headset
the patient can experience the effect of a two metre
screen with stereo sound. The glasses can display 2
or 3D video, PC games and television. They are
compatible with standard video output and can be
connected to- an Amiga, Apple or IBM PC.
Denis Premiski, Virtual Product's General Manager
commented: "The i-glasses are extremely adaptable and can
be applied to many different situations, with dentistry as just
another application." He continued: "in this case, it provides
considerable benefits to both dentist and patients, creating a
relaxed environment and satisfied customers,"

Extracting disks
Before you even think of putting the
cover disks anywhere near your com-
puter you should make sure you write
protect them. By moving the black tab
in the top corner of the disk F so you
can see through the hole, you prevent
your disks being damaged in any way.
There should be no reason why the
cover disks need to be written to, so
even if the computer asks you to write
enable the disks, don't do it.
To extract the programs off the sec-
ond disk you must make sure you have
booted your computer with the first
cover disk, otherwise your Amiga will
not be able to find the cdnstaller pro-
gram, and frustration wilt soon set in.
To extract any single archive, simply
double-click its icon and follow the on-
screen instructions. If you want to
quickly extract the program to RAM,
select the NOVICE level on the wel-
come screen and press proceed once
on the current screen, and then again
on the next, The program can then be
found in your RAM disk.
You also have the option of using a
floppy disk- If you pick this option,
make sure you have a blank formatted
disk at the ready, and if you only have
one drive get ready for lots of disk
swapping and a long wait

to your Amiga's screen bar in the form of a new selectable menu from
the screen cycle gadget, rn the top right of the screen. This menu lists
all the currently opened screens and by selecting one you can jump
straight to it. This saves you having to individually flick through each
one - if you have a lot of screens open you can end up Kicking past the
one you want and have to cycle through them all over again,

SleepyPointers

It is amazing. We are meant to have this great
multimedia computer with, all its specialised
custom chips to provide sprite and blitter
support and what do you get to look at
when you are waiting for something to
finish? If you are lucky you can gorp at
boring old stationary clock symbols - woopy-
doo-dar.
Well SleepyPointers is to the rescue. This
very well written shareware program will
banish those oid boring wait pointers toj
well, somewhere else, and instead you
have the choice of either a lovely spinniry
hour glass or the classic spinning watch
pointers,
To get SleepyPointers up and running j
double-dick on whichever style pointer you
like, and ff you want to run it every time
start your computer, just drop the icon in
your WBStartup drawer.

You have read the review, now you can try
out ImageVision for yourselves, in this
saved disabled demo - all the functions
and options of the full program ate
available for you to try out here.
As in the full program, you get a tutorial
script that is automatically loaded II you
run this you will get a feel for what
ImageVision is capable of. If you have trou-
ble understanding any of the functions you
can hit the help button and the contest-
sensitive AmigaGuide help wifi pop up,
allowing you to read all about the current
functions,
ImageVision has three main windows.
The largest is the main script window
where you construct presentations. Icons
can be dragged into this from the icon win-
daw allowing you to add! another section
to the current script
To link icons together after you have
brought a new ore onto the script window
you must dick on the top of the white tail
that comes out of the top of each icon and
drag it over to the icon you want it
connected to. Menu icons are the onfy
ones that can have more than one icon
connected to it. To adjust the settings of
any of the icons you should double-click
on that icon. This will bring up a new
requester in which you can modify any of
the settings. As ImageVision internally
muhitasks you are able to have as many of
these windows open as you like, and you
can even work on more than one script at
a time.
Once you have set up a script to test it,
just hit the run icon in the tools window
on the right of the screen, Most of the
normal editing tools are available here. If
you want to cut any icon connection you
select the icon and then hit the tut
connection icon.

Installing Hillsea Lido demo
The easiest way to get the Hillsea Lido demo op and
running is to reset your computer and then insert the
second coverdisk into the internal drive, Follow the on-
screen commands and when you are asked to insert a
blank disk, remove the coveidisk and place a blank disk
into the internal drive and hit return. Once this has fin-
ished, if you reset your machine you will be able to play
Hillsea Lido from this disk.
Hard drive users will be pleased to know that the
demo is hard drive installable, as is the full game. To
copy the game on to your hard drive, go into
Workbench and drag the Hillsea Lido game disk icon
into the directory window where you wish the game's
drawer to be created, Just open this drawer and dou-
ble-click on the Hillsea Lido icon.
Hillsea Lido Demo - the seaside
MANAGEMENT SIMULATOR.
Author Vulcan Software
Workbench 2,04
Your business proposals have been
approved by the local authorities and they
have wished you every success with your
seaside development project, You have been
granted 20 metres of beach and correspond-
ing promenade, plus full ownership of the
Pier Theatre. You will have the opportunity
to expand your resort up to a maximum site
of 200 metres in the future. How you
choose to manage your resort is entirely
your concern, but the authorities maintain
the right to reward or penalise you in areas
that remain under their jurisdiction.
Hillsea Lido is a seaside management
simulator. In effect this means you are given
access to all the elements needed to turn an
empty stretch of beach into a thriving resort
It sounds easy enough but the reality is far
more complicated.. You will need to show
real flair as an entrepreneur in order to use
the different elements of the game to your
advantage,
Hillsea Lido is a mouse-driven game, and
most of the icons in the game have two or
three functions. For example, when increas-
ing the selling price of, say, the candy floss,
you tan use the left mouse button to
increase the total by one, the right mouse
button to add ten, or both mouse buttons to
add a hundred. Also, the scrolling action
area can be speeded up using combinations
of mouse buttons. If you are in any doubt,
just experiment and you will soon find vari-
ous short cuts that allow you to control the
game in the way you want. The first thing

and gentlemen. f$t my

you see when starting Hillsea Lido is 30
-metres of empty Promenade Behind the
Promenade is your beach which can be
accessed by clicking the LMB on the beach
icon at the bottom of the screen. These two
are known as the Action Areas and are
where the results of all your decisions take
place, When your resort eventually expands
you will then be able to scroll left and right
along its entirety by using the arrow icons
at the bottom of the screen. The main icons
are situated beneath the Action Areas and
allow you to access the different elements
of Hillsea Lido.

Catalogue
SeaPreams wares are displayed in a cata-
logue which is relevant to whether you are
viewing the beach or promenade when you
choose this icon. You can scroll through
this catalogue of shops and facilities by
clicking on the salesman's hand or the bot-
tom of the catalogue. Each page shows you
a picture and a description of the shop and
facility. If you wish to buy one simply dick
on the pile of cash and your mouse point-
er will be exchanged for a rectangle to rep-
resent the siie of the shop or facility. You
must then paste this rectangular scaled
down representation at the bottom of the
screen. If you change your mind you can
dick on the RMB to escape before pasting.
To purchase more land simply dick on
the sand mound and for more information
about SeaDreams Ltd dick on their logo.
Once built you can click on the shop or
beach hire facility in the Action Area, and
use the LMB to access their individual
information screens In here you can set
the price of your stock or your rides by i
clicking on the arrows, and you can
change the commission paid to the
employee in the same way,
The bleach bar is an indication of how
dean your shop is, or the spanner, in the
case of your beach hire facilities, indicates
how safe they are. You tan clean your

All the different types of stock you will
ever require for your promenade shops are

stock you wish to order using the arrow
buttons, and when you are satisfied with
your order dick on the sales woman who
I will inform you if the stock is available, it it

Entertainment
You can book an act for your theatre any
day of the week in readiness for the Sunday
show night. Scroll through the acts by click-
ing on the arrows on the left of the screen,
and when you have chosen one simply click
on the cash and the act will be booked, the
ticket price on the right of the screen
changes depending on which act you
choose. On Sunday night you will be auto-
matically transported to the theatre so you
can see all the people piling into it, along
with all the lovely dosh you will be making,
You can hire various individuals to work
on a casual basis. The left hand side of the
screen applies to the promenade and the
right to the beach. Find out. more informa-
tion about each character with the LMB,
and the hire button will do just that - hire
people.
The tourist screen allows you to find out
all sort of information about the people that
come to visit your beach, Each tourist gives
Seven ratings on your beach. When they
visit a shop three bars appear rating the
politeness of the staff, pricing, and how
dean the shops and beach are. The other
four at the bottom of the screen relate to
how much they want of the following:
sugar, hunger, thirst and souvenirs. They will
also tell you what they would like you to
build next, and the customer is always right
- so yoii r d better listen.
If you think you can save money by being
a skin flint and rot paying cleaning and
repair bills, think again. Regular health and
safety checks will fine lax beach owners over
dirty or dangerous shops and rides, Once a
ride has been fined, the warning never goes
unless you demolish it, If you let things
really slip you could even injure or poison
someone, and then you will be fined even
more.
Installing Tritus demo
After the Hillsea Lido demo has been copied onto a
blank disk you will be able to do the same process for
our deittu version uf the shareware game Tritus. Just
wait until you are prompted to insert a blank disk and
then hit return.
Once this has finished, if you reset your machine you
wilt be able to play Tritus from this disk. Hard drive
uscts will again be pleased to know that Tritus is hard
drive installable. To copy the game on to your hard
drive, from Workbench, open up the Tutus disk window
and then drag the Tritus dirawer to whichever destina-
tion drawer you want it to go in. You will then be able
to open up the Tritus drawer and double-click on the
cute icon, it will even quit back to the Workbench.
Tritus demo
Author: Davin Pearson
Workbench 2,04
So you think you are a hard Tetm player do
you? Well, as the old saying goes, you ain't
seen nothing yet. Trrtus is a bit of a turbo
nutter, fueMnjected Tetris, a power-upped,
monster-infested, multiplayer, evil addictive
game. Once you Start you cannot stop.
Tritus is a simultaneous three-player
Tetris-style game, but with a twist or two
and the odd surprise up its sleeve. When
you lirst start the game and get past the
initial intro you will see three game areas
with a press fire message,
Tritus can have up to three players on at
once, but do not worry if you have no
friends, or that no-one is around to play as
the computer will take control of the remain-
ing players. If you do play against the
computer you can cheat and get a few sec-
onds head start by quickly hitting your fire C Thr*6-pttsye? action
button - that is if you are the sort of person Tritus
who does cheat. Once you are off the mark
the idea of the game is the same as Tetris,
that by tilling up a ME horizontal Eine you will
remove it, but in this game doing that adds a
line to your competitors' areas. If you manage
to do five lines in one go, the most possible,
you are congratulated with a screen shudder-
ing thud and a flash guitar rift.
It does not stop there. Every now and again
a little blue greebty will drop down every ones
screen and Start to eat away at your block
destroying all the hard work you have done..
To stop it just drop a block on its sorry head,
and watch it go squish with all its bodily fluids
dribbling down the screen - nnmmmm,.
Finally, there are other power-ups available
such as giving your enemies horribly shaped
blocks tor a short time, or making all their
blocks invisible.

twenty mpk Nowadays, thanks to the
brilliantly planned road building policy things
are not quite so easy, in fart I hear a couple of
universities are thinking about starling up PhDs
in trip planning.
For anyone who does not have such a
degree, AmiAtlas is just what you need. The
only Other Amiga route planning program I can
think of is GBroute - that was a bit of a half
hearted port of the PC program. It is also pretty
old now and there really is no comparison,
whatsoever, to AmiAlias.
AmiAtlas comes on two disks that contain
the main program and the normal map of
Germany, As standard you only get the
German map but a wide selection
European countries are available, includ-
ing one for the UK and Ireland. Thi
may not seem too helpful but if you
ever venture out to Germany for
holiday, or for whatever reason,
this would then be very handy.
As this is a German product
the first thing you have to do is
change the language to English
from the 'Verse hiedenes 1 or
Miscellaneous menu. Once
done, all the menus and win-
dows will appear in English. The
program uses the normal locale
catalogues that were introduced
with Workbench 11 but it does no
automatically detect which language
you are using which is a little strange,
but once done you do not have to do
again.

dfTrtA EJ39 s custom pop up gadget makes

Function icons
As standard the tool dock that is built into
AmiAtlas is turned off so you will probably
want to turn this on as well. This gives you a
Ipvely scrollable selection of icons at the top of
the map window. From here most nl
AmiAtlas's functions are available.
When you first run AmiAtlas it loads up the
last map you were using and it is possible to
set a start location, Therefore, every time it is
run, AmiAtlas will always be centred or your
chosen plate. In this case you will be presen-
ted with a map of Germany.
When it comes to how you have the maps
loaded, AmiAtlas is very flexible. As long as you
have enough memory you can load as many
maps in as you want It is also very simple to
add another map to an existing one, and you

installation of AmiAtlas is through the standard Amiga Installer so no
problem there, The program and German maps are extracted from the
first two drsJb into their own drawer arid an assign has to ho made in
your user^starlup. tf you then want to install my other mops these come
separately an another disk, are again installed using the Amigo Installer,
wtorch is copied straight into the AmiAtlas directory into a new drawer ,
each country having a separate drawer
can merge maps to create a single new map
file, so removing the hassle of having to load
multiple maps in the first place.
Guiding your way around the map is a very
simple business - you can use the cursor keys
to scroll around or for larger jumps the propor-
tional sliders are available. An elastic band
zoom enables you to get a closer look at which
ever roads or towns take your fancy, Even on a
plain Al 200 the map redraws are very quick -
you will have to start twiddling you thumbs if
you load both the UK and German maps and
zoom right out, but then you are being a bit
silly so it serves you right
If the screen refresh is not quick enough,
due to there being too many roads cm towns
being drawn, there is a comprehensive set of
drawing tools to allow you to precisely choose
Road mapping
AmiAtlas has a fairly straightforward way of
organising the roads and towns, going from
minor back roads up to motorways, and from
capitals to drive through to towns. Using the |
Map Detail requester you can specify exactly 1
which roads and towns should be displayed, tt
is also possible to show motorway cross overs
and exits. Other details that can be viewed are
parks, hotels and rivers. Unfortunately, the
what should or should not be shown on the
map. From the point of view of drawing the
land, things like islands and rivers can be
removed, along with the ability to tell AmiAtlas I
not to bother colouring in the land and sea -
this would also be helpful if you are running in
less tha n 16 colours.

English map that corner with Ami Atlas only
contains the toad and towns data. Compared
to the accompanying German map this ts fairly
sparse,, as the German map has full details on
hotels you On stay at. Just ask to view the
hotels and a bunch of little bed symbols will
appear on the German map. Click on one of
them and you get a full run down on that
hotel, including the full address, phone and la*
numbers,, how much rooms are, what you get
m the rooms, what other types of functions
they do, and what credit cards they take -
pretty extensive t would say. The same goes
for amusement parks, with Ami At las giving
you information about how much it is to get in
and what rides and attractions each park bas-
il you wanted, it is possible to enter new
towns and roads, so if new road routes do
appear you can update the AmiAdas map. This
process is fairly painless. To add a new town
y«j just have to dick on the map where the
new town should be placed. You then, using
the pop up gadget, select which country and
county the town should be placed in, along
with which roads should run into it. The same
process is used to add new roads - you can
just pick the start and destination towns, along
with what the road should be called and
bow long it is. The new road is then
added to the map database,
and will be used in any
future route calculations

A good feature here is that you can enter
the start ol the town name. Press return and a
list of close matching town names pops up,
allowing you to quickly select one of them.
AmtAtlas also stores previously used names in
the pop up gadgets, again allowing you to
quickly select a regularly used town. You can
also add stop oK points to your route, in the
same manner, allowing you to go vis other
towns.
Trip calculation is very quick - even

completed in seconds. You
then get a breakdown of

values that you give
AmiAtias. Therefore, depending on what car
you have you can change the Km/Hr value.
You also need to set up the correct speed lim-
its for motorways and dual carriageways - or
euro roads as AmiAtias refers to them, This rs
made a little trickier as the speeds are all in
kilometres.
When it comes to setting a route, there are
two ways to enter it Either dick on the start
and finish location, which means that both the
start and finish towns have to be in sight ds
you cannot scroll around once you have

The only real discrepancy was the amount
ot time the trip would take. The time calcula-
ted by AmiAtias would normally only be
around 2/3 of what the trip would actually
take. For instance, it reckoned it should take
me 20 minutes to get to work. Even with good
traffic this figure should be more like 35 min-
utes, bur otherwise the planned route was
perfect.

Amiga Computing
and UK maps visible along with any others you
may add, Unfortunately, you cannot plan routes
from the UK to Germany as there is no French
map to fill the gaps in between, and the
absence of any ferry mutes or a channel tunnel
route would also make it a little difficult. It
would be interesting to see if this would be
possible if you did have the French map, and
such things like ferry routes were taken into
account
The main problems with AmiAtias all come
about because it is a German product If you
were German you would not have any com-
plaints with the program, but English people
are generally different and can be a little picky
about things. It is a little annoying that you have
to tell it that you are working in English, and
that you also need to state that you want
money to be worked out in pounds. Fair
enough - there are at, least, options to allow
you to change the currency and language, but it
would be nice if it could do this automatically.

FAULT
Any criticisms I have managed to dig up
here are rectify very minor - things tike the
kilometre measurements ate a little annoy-
ing , but they do not change the fact that
the program is very useful If you ignore
these slight niggles, AmiAffds is nearly
flawless. If the programmer could remove
the leftover foreign words and allow miles
instead of Kilometres I would not he able
to fault it in any way . Currently, the only
other major problem is that the on-line
help has not been translated, hut AmiAtias
is so eosy to use you do not need it

FEBRUARY 1996
@ ver since mankind first picked up
a stick or rock and thumped it on
something else in order to create
something, we have been fasci-
nated by building things with our bare hands.
Our tools were at first primitive; flint replaced
wood bronze replaced flint, iron replaced
bronze, but we used them to help us develop
other useful things such as transport and
shelter.
In recent years our cars, aeroplanes and
buildings have become so complex that we
use computers to help us make them instead
of set squares, axes and magnifying glasses,
and building things has become a more
abstract process. There are people alive today
who could build a complex motorcar or an
office block that have never done so in the
teal world.
Computer world
Their achievements are all based in the virtu-
al world of the computer. Even films are
being made on computers with silicon actors
replacing the real thing. Films like Disney's
Toy Story or ITV r s ReSoot are paving the way
forward using the latest technology to build
their worlds.
So welcome to the wonderful world of 3D
according to Cinema4D. Ifs a new package
of Germain origin on offer from HiSofl
Systems and is a low-cost competitor to the
likes of Imagine, Real 3D 3 and Lightwave.
But before we start comparing features, let's
have a look at the product Cinema4D comes
on six disks which have to be installed on a
minimum of a Workbench 2,04 machine with
9Mb hard disk space, but Cinema4D definit-
ely prefers Workbench 3 and takes advantage
of the AGA chipset to the full.
If, like me, you have an older ECS
machine, but you have a graphics card, then
Cinema4D will happily work on a high reso-
lution display, but it seems that the current
version isn't overly keen on chunky pixel
scree nmodes, so it might be best to fun on a
planar screen if your RTG software supports
it
Usually, the conversion is only run on
l rank Nor examines the latest
3D program in depth... cue
screen with more than a certain number of
bitplanes, so you might be able to get around
it that way - the only thing you'll lose is the
ability to render in a window on the
Cinema4D screen as the interlace itself only
relies on a lour colour palette, Other than
that, unlike current versions of Lightwave and
Imagine, there are no limitations for graphics
card owners and considerable advantages,
the most obvious of which is the increased ; j
fineness of the vectors used to represent I
objects on the screen which is a definite help ;
when your scene is getting cluttered-
£o let's have a look at the software. Firsl ’

Cinenta4D has a really good attitude towards the dis-
play of yoar models , // you are running on a slow

different views, ill at once or one at a time. If
you want to you can run more than one
main window to give you a number of differ-
* end views of your scene. To save space, your
toolbox icons are actually pop-up menus
which save further space by doubling up
their functions. This is also a time-saving
feature and one that comes in very handy.
Pop-up
The way it works is that if you select one of
these pop-up options it works using the
defaults set into the program, but if you are
holding down the shift key or using the right
mouse button to pop up the menu, releasing
the mouse button over a pop-up menu item
Mill open a dialogue window to fet you alter
j the settings the item will use. For instance, if
t you choose the cube item from the 'Create
j primitive' pop up menu, Cinema4p will
chuck out a cube 2 00mm across by default.
[ However, if you hold down the shift key
f white selecting the cube, you will be present-
j ed with a numeric requester in which to put
j she dimensions of you r object,
I The same principle applies to menu items
as well as the pop-ups, although you are
obviously restricted to using the shift key to
get to the settings requesters as you are
already using the right mouse button, to
open the menus in the first place. However,
what is odd is the fact that with all this space
saving, Cinema4D still offers you both a disc
primitive and a cylinder object, even though
you could always just extrude the disc.
The same applies for the cube and redan-
gle items and it does seem odd that you can
only enter one dimension for a cube (side
length). Okay, so a cube is supposed to have
equal length sides all round, but it would be
more ergonomic to allow the user to enter
all the dimensions of the cube to create
boxes of differing sites more quickly than
having to scale the cube in different direc-
tions to create the same effect.
This is the main problem with Cinema4D
and it also plagues Imagine (to a greater
extent ! would say). The way the interface
works isn't as llu id as it could be, forcing the
user to use an awkward combination of the
mouse and keyboard to achieve what she
needs to. Working with a mouse is great if
"Welcome to the
wonderful world of
Cinema40 - a low-cost
competitor to the likes
of imagine, RealJD and
LightWave"
you are just starting out with a package -
some people rely solely on their mouse
skills, never touching a keyboard shortcut -
but most people want their work to progress
as speedily as possible, so therefore want to
be able to circumvent the sometimes
lengthy process of moving the mouse to and
fro to go from the object to the toolbar and
back to the object and so on, Gnema4D has
a number of shortcuts, especially for the
menu items,, but needs a method by which
you can select the move, scale and rotate
DEPARTMENT
Just like Imagine , Cinema4D can add effects to an actor in its
animation timeline window. This window is very reminiscent
of Imagined Stage editor but unlike Imagine, its use doesn't
preclude you from doing anything else. Along with the usual
and pretty pedestrian explode effect there are mare impres-
sive ones such as the pulse effect where you con alter the
shape of d range of objects according to a mathematical
formula , such as a sine wove.
Obfecis pulsed in this fashion react in different ways
according to whether you hove chosen to tnelude sub-objects
in the wore or not and same pretty interesting resuits can
develop especially since you can define a pulse for not only
the s^e of the object but also its position and direction.
Just like almost every other 3D package t have worked
with, CinemaAD allows you to morph one object into another , ;
but again, just like every other 3D package I have used, you
have to make sure that both objects have exactly the same
number of points and edges.
Onema4D also has five other effects that I hove never
seen in a law-end package anywhere, and they ore Vibration
ROPS DEPT.
Cmema4D has so many ancillary fea-
tures that it becomes hard to find the
space to mention them all but ones to
be noted include the separate ray tracer
which can be run on its own, taking
advantage of all available memory ( the
other advantage is that versions of the
ray tracer could be written to take
advantage of o co-processor board like
MacroSystem’s 0£C Alpha hoard or
Phases's Power Up without the need to
convert the entire package ). Cinema4D
also has an object converter that will
read a wide variety of objects and con
vert for use in Cmema4D,
functions more easily than by using the
mouse.
But 1 don't want to give you the idea that
Cinema4D isn't any good. It has some
absolutely superb methods of working
including an object hierarchy similar tp that
used by Real3D, In fact, if you have used
►
and Melt Melt does exactly what you might think and is
actually a bit limited in its uses. You con almost do exactly
what Melt does by stretching your object vertically down to
nodring over the course of your animation, while stretching
if out horizontally to make it look like a puddle is being
created.
Having said that it is nice that Cinema4D provtdes an
option to do this automatically, saving you the l rouble. Of
course, it doesn’t do any of (he funky things that Dynamotion
con do like melting yotrr object so that if pours down a funnel
or splits in two when melted over a knife, but then the only
machines you can perform these feats on is on SQ r and if
you've got the money to buy One of those, and Dynamation,
then you wooT be interested in Gnema4D anyway,
The tost effect, and one I can think of plenty of uses for, is
called Vibrate . This randomly jitters the selected object in
terms of its size, position or rotation over a length of time. The
effect is completely random and the only parameters you
have to enter are for maximum extents of the jitter in either
direction.

in Cinema4D and compared the time it took
to the some scene built in Lightwave, I con-
structed a simple table and a milking stool
using primitives and boolean operations. I
surfaced the objects and rendered the scene
at a low resolution. From start to finish it look
me over an hour in Cinema4D r but it has to
be said that I am not as familiar with the
package os t am with Lightwave,
The same scene in Lightwave took me
about half an hour to complete (without the
human model), but the important thing was
that even if it had taken me the some time, it
would have been easier because of the way
ErghfiVave is put together. Waving said that, I
also tried the same scene in Imagine 3 and it
took me the same amount of time as
Ctnema4D , hut it felt harder to create the
scene and t am familiar with Imagine.
HERE ARE MY ACTORS
CinemaAD has an inverse Ainenrafics system built in and very handily comes with a
mannequin object ready to roll at the dick of a button. The IK system that comes with
Cinemo4D doesn't have any form of constraints that would be required to stop year elbow
bending backwards, but that notwithstanding is actually damn easy to use and, apart from
the odd hand pointing the wrong way, is pretty accurate. Although this doesn't make
character animation into something as simple as a simple thing, it certainly beats
manually positioning limbs hands down and is sa much faster that you'll probably end up
using it all the bloody time.
erfy is superb and gives absolute control over
texturing. The way it works is that you edit a
grid which overlays your object which is subject
to all the same tools as the objects themselves,
sudh as rotate, move and scale,
The type of grid that appears depends cm
the type of texture wrap you have chosen -
choose a planar map and you just get a flat
squarish grid, hut choose cylindrical or spheri-
cal mapping and you end up with a full or pat*

v 1 9t95 was not the kindest of years
for Amiga stalwarts Softwood.
B While the return of the Amiga to
production was good news for
any company in the market the absence of
any of Softwood's software from Amiga
Technologies' Magic Pack must have been a
worrying issue tor the makers of such well
known programs as Final Writer.
Worse still, arch- rivals Digita International
had a virtual monopoly on the contents of
the pack as far as the serious applications
were concerned. While the bundle represen-
ted a reasonably good deal for the consumer,
it must have made rivals wonder if continued
development of their products were worth-
while, After all, how many new Amiga own-
ers are going to buy something like Final
Writer if they already have a wordpnocessor
Supplied for free 1
Nevertheless, Final Cate has now been
released after four years of development, and
the initial comparison with the Magic Rack's
Turbo Calc looks favourable, The question is,
however, does it offer enough that's new to
win a large user base of its own?
Interface
To begin with that all important interface,
Final Calc doesn't look quite so polished as
PC industry standards like Excel and Lotus
1-2-3, but essentially the introduction of tool
baFS and drag and drop data manipulation
follows their example in creating a user-
friendly environment. As you'd expect from
any professional Amiga program, you can
control many functions in a variety of ways,
from using drop down menus to keyboard
short cuts,
Important for the beginner is Final Calc's
on-line help facility. Whenever you select a
command Irom a menu it will usually give
you an explanatory option from an
AmigaGuide, What's more, the instructions to
be found are more helpful than the token aid
you get from too many Amiga on-line help
guides. Remember also that Softwood have a
help forum in which you can get technical
advice on CompuServe, Equally valuable for a
INAL
DEMAND
it has to be sard fftef the price probably
predudes mast casual Amiga users look -
mg (or something cheap to keep track a(
their personal finances. It's also a tad that
this is Softwood's most demanding prod-
uct os far as your Amiga's specification is
concerned as welt
Though Final Data will work with 2Mb
of RAM, they freely admit that to get a
respectable level of functionality out of it
you realty need at least Jtyt h. Not surpris-
ingly, you'll oho need a hard drive with
5Mb of free space since you cant run it
off floppy, AmigaGuide and ARexx
libraries are dsn highly recommended.
Though the requirements are fairly
high, however, it's probably worth it hr
someone who really needs a more profes-
sional spreadsheet to work or? or home.
In Final Calc Softwood think they've
created the spreadsheet program to beat
them all. Gareth Lofthouse reviews
technically daunting program like a
Spreadsheet, Final Calc's good quality docu-
mentation makes it worth a few extra bob in
itself, A Ring-binder containing extensive
chapters on every detail of the program you
could possibly want to know about realty sets
an example for Amiga products we can only
hope is followed- elsewhere. The only flaw in
my view is the a b sense of a step-by-step
tutorial, something that makes getting into
the program that bit more difficult.
Fortunately, behind the glossy exterior you
will find a number crunching program of
immense power and flexibility. There's a
comprehensive array of editing functions
you'd expect - for example the ability to edit
formulas and paste filenames, date strings.
Graphs can 6# g«nertr*d in 3D MUfti
c p uj-i Ucsjt eolour options, and thay mhtiuid
print without jagged mdgat
time formats, and cell ranges. There's dsn
an amazing 1 7a maths functions with!
comparison and logical operators,
Final Calc uses a 'Recalc System' to calcu-
late the value of formulas in each project
Basically, the Recalc scans through the pro-
ject looking for formulas that need solving
evaluating the value of the formula in each
cell, and then storing the result back into
each cell. In final Calc this all occurs auto-
Grabs th ai
Final Calc probably has the edge over any
rival in terms of manipulative power , fiut
its primary selling paint is more likely
to be its superiority in terms of data
presentation.
There is on extensive variety of graphs
to chose from, allowing data to be pre-
sented in numerous different ways - for
example, there's stacked bar graphs, pie
charts and X-Y-Z scatters. These ore pre-
sented in ZD by default, but each of them
can instantly be transformed into a metre
visually impressive ID model at the diet
of a button ,
Generating a graph from a range of
data really is very easy, but customising ft
to your requirements is more of a prob-
lem, It's possible to include titles , legends
and notes around the visual data, but

mafically in the background and you can con-
tinue to work while it's happening - unless
you prefer to recalculate manually, that is.
If you make a mess of the accounts, how-
ever, Softwood's program has a distinct
advantage in its unlimited undo function.
Final Cate keeps track of all the changes you
make to a project's data, and allows you to
undo any changes made up to the first
change since you loaded or started the pro-
ject Even better, if you mistakenly undo ore
ol your changes you can then redo it under
the same principal
Smart PRESENtAfioN
As you will have gathered if you've read the
section on the program's graph generating
capabilities, Final Calc is heavily geared
towards the smart presentation of data, With
this in mind 'Outline Fonts' are used when
printing in order to achieve a better quality of
print from the printer. It supports Postscript
Type I and 3 files and Macintosh ATM font
files as well as Softwood font files,
Final Calc will also prove valuable for those
using industry standard lotus 1-2-3.wkl
spreadsheet files at work, and who occasion-
ally want to work on them on their Amiga at
home, since the program supports this type
of file.
More common but equally important for
this type of program is the ability to imple-
ment Macros that will automate a series of
operations, with obvious benefits on your
Blrtlilr
"Stilt there's no doubt that
spreadsheets on the Amiga
have never looked so good
before , and this is important
if you're in the business of
illustrating conclusions about
a set of data, "
productivity as a consequence. The toolkit is
also a standard but necessary component of
the spreadsheet, allowing users to import
and export text and perform search and
replace operations. A further strength is Final
Calc's ability to treat data in a project range
as a database.

frankly it seemed unnecessary tricky to get
the results l anticipated Similarly, you can
after (fie colours of just about everything,
bat again it seems like a surprisingly cam -
pier process. 0/ course, reading the manual
properly overcomes this, but it’s less user
friendly in this particular respect than I had
hoped for.
Still thtre r s no doubt that spreadsheets
on the Amiga have never looked so good
before, and this is important if you're in the
business of illustrating conclusions about o
set of data.
Another breakthrough is Final Calc's
ability to animate graphs so that changes
through time can be displayed. This is
undertaken using the Edit Animation win-
dow, and once again its nof exactly child's
play , so that ring-bound manual will again

prove handy. Printing the graphs is pretty
quick though because of its print spooler
which will work on jobs in the background

Verdict
So how does it shape up against the competi-
tion? Well the good news i's fhpf Final Calc
outclasses any other Amiga spreadsheet in
many respects. Its range of mathematical
formulas should be sufficient even for full-time
accountants, and unlimited undo/redo func-
tions and online help are the sort of functions
dial make daunting programs more tolerable
in use.
Of course , Final Cak particularly shines
because of its presentation tools. This is not
just a superficial benefit either, since a range
of graphs give users valuable choices over
how they present their raw data. Htfrether onr-
matr'on will be worthwhile for many users or
merely a gimmick is unclear, hut rfs worth
giving people the option to experiment
There are numerous other plus points too ,
like the program's support for Lotus l-2-3,wk I
files. However, though the program can import
ASQi files from Final Data, they've foiled to fol-
low Lotus's example and push Cak as part of
an overall Amiga suite For years it's been pos-
sible to generate a graph in Lotus 1-2-3 and
then easily incorporate it into an AmiPro word
processor document, so it would make sense
for Softwood 1 to advocate o similar use of Final
Calc and Final Writer.
Generally, / think more work needs to go
into making Final Calc a more instinctive., easy
program to use, though no number of pretty
icons are going to make a spreadsheet the
easiest type of software to get to grips with.
The online help is a good start and the manu-
al is excellent, but some functions still seem
unnecessarily complicated.
Then of course there’s the matter of price.
Final Cak isn't cheap, but then ft offers a level
of professionalism that justifies rt The Amiga
deserves a spreadsheet package for the more
serious user, and this is certainly a good step
in the right direction.

he Train pulls- in to Halifax station.
The walls are elaborately decora-
ted with garish paintings and the
word 'Eureka 1 is splashed every-
where. A noisy troop of school kids leave the
Esrair and rush down a sandy track towards an
equally garish building. The venue tor the day
was the Eureka museum in Halifax, Yorkshire,
but immediately things seemed very strange -
the many children all damounng to get in the
doors all looked unusually excited about the
prospect of spending the morning in a
museum.
However, Eureka, as I later found out, is no
ordinary museum - it's interactive and is
specifically designed for even the most inquisi-
tive of children who want to touch, explore or
even kick the exhibits. As Pippa Hardcastle,
Press and PR Coordinator for the muse-
um told me: "The children have the
opportunity for a 'hands on J experi-
ence. IE makes the learning process
so much easier"
The museum is divided into
three sections and every one of the
350 exhibits has to be as robust
and sturdy as possible - children
will be children after all. The first is *
Me and My Body where you can .•
play Digestion Pinball or turn the
pedals to see how your skeleton
works, The second is Invent, Create
and Communicate where children can
try their hand at broadcasting the news |
and lastly, Living and Working Together I
where, for instance, the workings ol a bath-
room are explained- There is also a fourth' in
development called Things.
Appearances
But what on earth has this got to do with the
Amiga? you are probably wondering. Well
believe it or not behind some of the high-tech
exhibits and interactive displays is actually a
rather humble looking Amiga. Weil, two
Amigas to be precise. But appearances can be
deceptive because despite the Amiga being
swamped by the many other forms of techno-
logical machinery that control the museum, the
Amigas operate two of the most imaginative
displays there.
Walk into the Bedroom section of Living and
Working Together and you will find a display
called Dreams, and in front of you a monitor,
The inquisitive child will find that when they
face the screen their image is picked up and
projected onto the it - much to their delight!
Three backgrounds then run together in
sequence, one being balloons, the next fish,
and. then a 'raining cats and dogs' storm, The
camera picks up the child's image, digitises it,
and the Amiga 5000 puts the whole picture
together. On the balloons screen, for
pie, the child can then move their
EXT GEN KIDS
Pippa Hardcastle remarked whilst shotting
me around the museum, that the children
seemed to pick up on new technology far
easier than their bewildered looking parents,
As she spoke we sow one child take a mouse
off their embarrassed iechnophobic parent
and immediately continue operating the
display.
Eureka believe it is important to reinforce
Tina Hackett takes a look at
how a museum for children is
using the Amiga to bring
interactive exhibits to life
arms to 'touch' the balloons that are flying past,
and the computer system picks up on this and
pops the balloon.
This innovative system is called InVideo and
has been developed by American '70's singer
supremo, Dean Friedman. After reaching the
dizzy heights of pap stardom, Friedman turned
his hand to multimedia and tailor-made the

this and from 10 February until 26 March
they are holding o temporary exhibition
colled Megohm, with Computers aimed at
increasing children's confidence with
Information Technology. It will house 22
computer and video-based exhibits and chib
dren will be able to try things like starring in
their own video, create soundscapes onC
cycle in a 3D city.

system specifically for Eureka. The project has
been extremely successful and has taken off all
over the worfd,
InVideo's Meal Fink explained the idea
behind it: u \ts a virtual reality system without
NVIDEO AR0i|
After Friedman's success wtfr toe InVideo sys- 1
tern at Eureka, the project has been developed i
for many other venues and other purposes. I
The company behind it atl is called InVideo I
Systems., Inc and they describe their system asl
an " unencumbered virtual reality system I
which allows participants to step inside a tided 1
game and interact in real-time wkh animated 1
objects,"
As well as 'Dreams 1 they have also found I
toe system perfect for Virtual Volleyball' which I
has been i installed in the Museum of Science I
in Boston amongst others. It simulates the j
actual game of volleyball an a beach and
eight players can have a go at this realistic j

peripherals or gobies" Apparently this proves
deal m a what needs to be a 'child proof'
Tiyseum as there are no extra peripherals or
attachments for a child to damage. It also
Takes interacting as simple and fuss-free as
possible.
The Amiga-based Int/iden system can also
be found downstairs in the Panasonic Theatre,
fta king in to the theatre you find a huge
screen in front of you with all manner of weird
and colourful things cast on to it from a video
pnsfector. This time it's controlled by an A3000
md once again the inVtdeo system comes into
ft awn. A camera picks up the rmage of the
chi i and projects it hack in full colour - unlike
the Dreams exhibit which is in one colour. One
ooercise involves letters of the alphabet mgv
mg around the screen - the child can reach
out, touch ft, and it will turn into an object
spinning with that letter - B, for example,
Imre into a butterfly. "This is great for children
wfih disabilities" explains Hard castle. "ft gives
them a chance to interact with something eas-
A similar sort of thing can be done with
numbers too, and helps the younger age
goup with number recognition and learning.
Another exercise is called AirPaint which is
ike a human paintbox and allows the child to
pick up colours from a palette and draw them
across the screen with their body.
Jim Williamson is the museum's technical
manager and is very pleased with how well
il’e Amiga system works: "It we were consider-
using virtual reality again we would defi-
nitely use the Amiga, It's a good reliable

As well os museums, amusement centres
ofco benefiting from the system which has
be advantage over traditional Id? in that it coo
te operated by all ages k robust hygienic and
doesn't' need someone to supervise - this is
mfi illustrated in the Eureka museum where
attendants prefer to fef fee children roam
faugh at will rather than having to monitor
cod supervise their every move!
"The children have the
opportunity fora 'hands
on' experience. It makes
the learning process so
much easier"
machine and suits the task well:'
Not related to die Amiga, but also created
by Friedman, is the Music Box, Children can
create tunes with different parts of the body
such as walking across the musical stepping
stones or sitting on each stool which then lets
out a honk from one of the giant horns.
Walking around, you realise just how well
designed Eureka is. Each section is geared to
the National Curriculum and because of the
variety, each age and ability seams to be
catered far.
Award winning
Eureka are certainly on to a winning formula
with their lively approach to learning. Since rt
opened in July 1992, it has attracted over one
million visitors and they hope to have this fig-
ure topping 1.5 million before Easter,
Patronised by HRH The Prince of Wales, the
museum has earned itself 15 top awards
including the 1993 Visitor Attraction of the
Year from the English Tourist Board. In 1994
they also- won the National Heritage/IBM
Museum of the Year award for the most imag-
inative use of interactive and multimedia tech-
nology. It seems that this new breed of muse-
um is certainly in demand and people are
favouring them in place of the dusty museums
of the past where noise was frowned upon
and touching the exhibits was definitely out of
order,
If you want to see Eureka for yourself it can
be found in Halifax, West Yorkshire and is situ-
ated next to the railway station, It is open daily
from 10am until 5 pm. Prices range from £4,50
for an adult to £3,50 for children aged 3 to 1 2,

ELIEVER IN AMIGA
The Eureka museum in Halifax is not the only museum to see the virtues
of an Amiga-based system, The London Transport Museum in Covent
Garden is already reaping the benefits using an Amiga and CD32-based
system. The CD32s provide touch screen computers which display
various information such as the Underground hypermap. But what's par-
ticularly impressive is the 1938 Underground train simulator. The front
window of the train has been replaced with a computer screen with
graphics controlled by the Amiga 4000, Two other simulators of an 1890
and 1992 models are controlled by A20Q0s.
A fore recertify, Amiga Computing covered how the London War
Museum use a similar touch screen system in their building. Scala's
Infochannel is used to convey information about the exhibits on to
screens around fee museum. There is also a Scab touch screen display
used for their Civilian Dead 1 exhibit.

The name's Vost, Ben Vost,
and I'm on the track of the
new lames Bond film
ames Bond is a name that few
dreaders of Arru-yo Computing will
be unfamiliar with. Since his very

the path that
I Pierce Brosnan
and Izabella Scorupco were walking along,
The same principle applies to the scene
where Scorupco climbs out of the ruined
radar tower in Siberia and wanders through
the burning ruins, Only the path she took
was actually real, with the remainder being
created in model shops by extremely skilled
craftsmen. And it is in Siberia that the
Amiga's main contribution was made to the
realistic and cheap completion of the film.
Even with the disbanding of the Soviet Union
and the availability of Russian airforce jets to
perform the flying,
how much do you
think it would have
cost the producers of
Goldeneye to rent
three MiC-29's (plus
another to film from)
for the flight past the
radar tower, let alone
the cost of blowing
them up?
Well, | don't know
either, but it was obviou-
sly too much for the produc-
ers who approached Alan Marques
and the Magic Camera Company to
see if they could do it cheaper. You might
remember Alan Marques from a feature we
did last year about the use of the Amiga in
another film - Cybertack - and he and the
Amiga have been very busy ever since. I
caught up with him last
Friday and spoke to
him: .

Amiga on Goldeneye, or rather LightWave, as
because we had used it on Cyberjack. We
knew it as a very, very good Tenderer. We
were still using Wavefront as our core system
for some of Goldeneye, but the Wavefront
Tenderer isn't very good. It doesn't do motion
blur Of anything like that So we had to have
a system that does all that There were these
shots in Goldeneye where they wanted the
MtG-29s coming from infinity - a pinpoint -
and moving towards the camera, roaring
over it. We have a motion control rig on M
stage which we used for a lot of the shots in
Goldeneye, but when you have a 2‘ minia-
ture of a MiG-29 and you have a 49' motion
control track, you can't get the model to a
pinpoint, you can get it to about an eighth of
a frame, but you just can't get ft any smaller.,
"So, if you're stuck in that position, the
only thing you can do with the motion con-
trol rig is pick the model up as a DUE - digi-
tal vide® effect - f.e. stop the model at a cer-
tain point, pick it up as a cut-out, then fly the
cut-out off, You probably know, though, that

when you have to change over and invariably
you'll always get a jump when that happens.
So we elected, because we knew the shots
were high speed and we knew that there
was going to be a lot of blur, to do the shots
as a CG effect.
"So basically, what we did was get a
model of an F-15 qff the Internet, a really
cheap and nasty 4GQ polygon model, and did
some tests with it at video resolution. We got
a load of background stills of deserts and
mountains and Evan (Davies - one of Alan's
team) did some nice texture maps for this
400 polygon model which was very simple -
the hull was literally only eight sides.. We did
the textures for it including the cockpit, etc,
and the whole tests were done in one day.
Dawn to dusk
We got the model in the morning, did the
texture maps the same morning, and did the
three animations in the afternoon at video
resolution cm the backgrounds in Lightwave,
We did the renders of the three of them fly-
ing over the camera, rendered them all On
the Raptor by five in the evening, and sent a
tape up to Leavesden by the next morning
and they instantly said, 'Right, do the shots

I asked Alan if he could have done the
shots on an SGI and he said that it certainly
was possible - if you had die right software,
software he didn't have at the time. He also
added that in his opinion, Lightwave is one
of the fastest Tenderers in the world for
motion blur, ray tracing and so on,
"So we used Lightwave with the F-lSs. At
video resolution with three F-ISs, 4G0 polys
each, full motion blur, fully ray traced shad-
ows and reflections we were getting about a
minute a frame on the Raptor, When they
approved the shots they said they had three
effects for us to do and they ended up using
two of the shots we provided - the third was
"The biggest problem we
had, and the real killer
because NewTek wouldn 't
give me a beta copy of
Lightwave 4, was the lack
of a pixel aspect ratio
setting for Lightwave"
Qightwave's missing bits
Since we were on the topic of Lightwave, t asked Alan
what he thought of Lightwave compared to the other 3D
modelling packages he uses, particularly those on the SCI.
On the whole, Alan is satisfied with how Lightwave is
turning out but he said for film production there were
definitely same things that needed improvement:
m At die moment Lightwave con only display a single one
bitphne image os a background image. What Lightwave
really needs is a way to show an animation as a backdrop
so that 3D objects moving across it can be checked for
consistency.
# Although it is good that Lightwave has now got on
inverse kinematics function , it needs to hove Severn/
improvements mode to it namely the ability to r stick ‘ part
of an object to another object like a foot to the floor or a
hand to a cup , to make it really useful.
# Another important addition to Lightwave s animation
tools would be the possibility to animate a switch between
targets or parent objects so toot you could aim a gun at
one object then move toe sights onto another in the course
of an animation.
0 Still on toe topic of animation tools , toe way motion
paths are edited in the requester toaves something to be
desired. A Beiier method with handles on the control
points would make more sense.
• One of imagine' s tools that LightWave could benefit
from is the ability to 'associate' objects to one another. For
instance , a rollercoaster animation with several cordages
can be animated travelling along the rails in Imagine rea-
sonably easily, with each carriage following on from the
one in front, but in Lightwave you would hove to load the
same motion path in for each carriage and work out an
offset for each key frame.
Overall, Alan believes Lightwave's modeller to be pretty
good but adds that there really ought to be o function that
is the opposite of metaform - an intelligent polygon This
would have mode the process of simplifying the Viewpoint
MiG-29 down from the 10,000-odd polygons it started as
into the 533 polygon object it became. As ft wa$ r the origi-

one, got some nice textile

mg the lighting to the- back-
ground frame we had. On the
fiiptor Plus we've got, which is a
2 .sc MIPS4600 machine,, we were
rendering the three MiG-29s at
■flout 500 polygons each for a total
of 1500 polys - not much, but then
we were using full-on motion blur,
dv traced shadows and refEec-
‘ions and we were getting
about six minutes a frame
Nhich was very good at 1 k

This was the same trick we
pulled on CyberJack, We never render

every lime we do that the CGI is too
iiarp, ft just doesn't even remotely
J ir into the background. You
end up blurring
r h e
image to go into the back-
ground using filters which
take time to do the work. So
we do it at half resolution and
blow it up.
"The biggest problem we
had, and the real killer because
NewTek wouldn't give me a beta
copy of Lightwave 4, was the lack
of a pixel aspect ratio setting for
Lightwave. It's now in version 4, but it
wasn't in 3.5. If you're doing an
anamorphic film you need to have a
squeezed image. Therefore, you need to be
able to render an image at, say, Ik x 660 but
at a pixel aspect ratio that will make the
image deliberately squashed so that it would
be right for anamorphic when it's stretched
out
“We couldn't do that in the version of
Lightwave we had, so we had to do the
most bizarre renders in Lightwave to get
anamorphic results. We had to render twice
the height, then crop it and cut it out, and
then stretch it to get an anamorphic result It

What's happened to the support for the Amiga comms
scene? I can appreciate that the Internet is a massive suc-
cess but there is the large number of BBS sites out there
that yon seem to have forgotten. Almost all of the public
domain sector software that gets reviewed in your maga-
zine has originated from various BBS sites, not on the
Internet Granted, some new stuff does come from the
Internet, but the majority of it originates from the private
BBS scene, I know as over the last two years NFA
PD/Productions have had over one hundred reviews in
various magazines.
When you call a private BBS, the sysop has control over
what files are available. The Internet is running wild with
pornography, piracy, and files on how to blow your arms
off. Once a file is on the Internet it is almost impossible to
delete as the file goes to hundreds of sites within a few
days, A private system is also generally used by only two
or three people at a time, so the system doesn't slow
down to a snail's pace on a Sunday. However, this does
restrict the number of users that can connect in a 24-hour
period, but to compensate for this there are hundreds of
private systems around the world including many eastern
bloc countries.
As lar as e-mail goes, the Internet wins hands down.
However, there are some really good mail networks that
connect thousands of users across Europe like the Missing
Link and Fidonet to name but two. Most private BBSs will
support at least one of these networks.
We should like to see a small area of your magazine
given over to advertise BBS sites because we fee! very
ignored by you and we do reach many hundreds of dedi-
cated Amiga users every day. We organise meetings of
usees and stands at computer fai rs, so we do do our bit for
the Amiga scene.
A point worth mentioning to parents who may be read’
ing these pages is that you shouldn't Just buy your child a
modem and give them an hour a day on the phone. Sit
with them and monitor what they are doing as there are
some very strange people out there (people who worT'f
use their real names for instance - ES). Give them some
of your time - even if you don't fully understand what
your child is doing you will recognise titles like
'fandynufse.jpg 1 , etc.
Well that's enough moaning. I would now like to be
blunt and ask for a plug for our UK bulletin boards. All the
latest issues of The Word are available and people may
wish to upload their articles, etc if they wish them to be
Induded. All these sites are open from 8PM-8AM and are
mail linked.
All speeds of modem may connect to our sites from
300 baud up as we believe a lot of people buy cheap
modems for a start, and H they enjoy what they see a
faster modem normally follows. We are doing our best to
provide a good service to our users and most of us hav
invested in high-powered machines and large storage
devices. We leave them running throughout the night Ic
other people to use. All we are asking is for a little support |
from the magazines we b-uy every month.
Deck the Ripper, NFA ,
Id Just like to say that I don't like people using pseu-
donyms when writing in to me at Amiga Computing, It
certainty dumped your chances of receiving the £50
prize for best letter this month (who would we make it
payable to?) H but anyway, you do have several
good points about BBSs providing more of a sense of
community than the Internet currently does. Thi
Internet is also still a lot harder to connect to than a
BBS, but by the same count it does offer an awful let
more.
As for your decrying the net for the smut, piracy and
bomb-making files available on it I think you are being
a little hypocritical as the vast majority of these files all
originated on BBSs. Still, we want to help support any
use of Amigas and if you are feeling a little left out, It's
mainly because we harae to cover what's hut

S ! y5 :J at g0od ^' ngS “ nt CQme irom bad onK - With Amiga World's demise I am now
blessed with your publication and I believe you are 'hlumero Uno'.

Nicholson 5 tetter m the November issue - E5), As an Aim owner r have seen very Htde A3O0O
improvements available in the market (I guess Commodore got it right with this design). To go
straight to the point, perhaps thrs time Amiga Technologies' engineers could be challenged to
design a motherboard for the next generation of Amigas that would have a processor slot
where the CPU would reside and would be easily upgraded but, more importantly, two video
■slots where one would be populated by the video display co-processor* and video custom
chips on a daughterboard.
Perhaps thrs would solve the dreaded occasions when an improved video chipset hits the
market and loyal users were forced to keep up and upgrade, or stagnate with their old Amigas
Perhaps Escom could even gam by manufacturing these video processors and making them
3 j fi ro L 0,h * r wdM b ^ rd manufacturers (maybe they will even make their way into PCs
and Macs thus gaming greater exposure in the market^. Make the Amiga into an open system
l don t want to put down AGA-equipped Amigas but releasing software solely for these units
actually leaves the rest of the Amiga owners out of the picture. Maybe software libraries and drr-
vers should be produced by Amiga Technologies and provided to Amiga software developers.
These patches would allow software to take advantage of the AGA chipset but also third-party
video boards. Let s face it, many Amiga owners are not going to get rid of their units just to get
AGA machines. They want to add peripherals (CD-ROMs, ZIP drives, etc.) they can share with
another computer, while they wan for the next RISC-based Amigas to hit the market
I sincerely wish the very best to Escom and their Amiga Technologies division. In order to
maintain the loyalty of Amiga fans, Escom must show a dedication to continuously improve and
aggressively advertise and market Amigas. And Its up to the users to spread the word.
Jose A Ferreira, Kingshnd Ca USA
Obviously, in the computer world H is a cm „f ^ or die . commodore released some
fine machines and the UOOO was the best nf them, hut that was five years ago now and it

Amiga Technologies face a difficult fas k over the coming year in persuading people that
buying an Amiga actually makes sense. In order to overcome potential purchasers' worries
about the lack of compatibility the Amiga has with other platforms, I think we will see a
move to a more standardised machine, possibly without the custom graphics chipset that
we have become used to, opening the way for third-party graphics cards to take over the

Qrouble with a PS
I have been an Amiga user far nearly
five years, using an A500, Having
seen all the really good programs
that you give away on your cover
disks, I am now getting an AT 200 as I
feel I am missing out all the time, I have two
questions I hope you can help me out with.
Firstly, where can I buy a PSU plug that
goes into the Amiga? I have asked all the
shops in Hull, but keep being told that you
cannot buy them. I would like to make my
own workstation, but I need the plug for the
PC PSU.
My other question is, if 1 buy an Apollo
1220 Iof the A 1200, can it be turned off by
some sort of command? I have been
informed that some games run too last with
the accelerator in the trap door.
Peter Grainger, Hail
*
You want to make your own
power sup ply unit? I person^
ally wouldn't recommend it,
unless you ace ioo per cent
sure as to what you are doing. There is
always the risk that you are going to fry
your Amiga, and normally there is not too
much need for a more powerful PSU.
It is, however, possible to do and there
are a number of files on Aminet that
explain how to convert a PC power Supply
for use with an Amiga. The most impor-
tant thing is, you must make sure you get
all the power connections correct other-
wise you will be the proud owner of one
ei-Amiga.
The reason you cannot get hold of an
Amiga power plug is that it is a none
standard connection, being used only on
Amigas, The only way you are going to get
hold of one is by cutting the plug off your
old Amiga PSU, and then solder the lead
to the PC power supply.
It would also be advisable to double
check the power output from the PSU
with a multi tester, before actually
connecting it to your Amiga.
As far as I know, there is no way to dis-
able the Apollo board without actually
removing it from the trap door. The only
A 1200 accelerators I know of that can be
easily disabled are the Blizzard boards -
with the 1230 you just hold down the 2
key when you reset the machine and the
entire board is disabled.
Finally, I have not actually played any
games that suffered from having an accel-
erator, and all Doom clones and flight sim-
ulators will benefit with a faster screen
update.
ACAS is the name, trouble
shooting is the game. You've
got a pro blem, then we
can solve it
ROTEXT PROCRASTINATOR
Since using a standard A 1200 with a 40Mb hard drive.
Protest v4 has obstinately refused to open its window, if
intuition has been allowed to reset the Workbench screen
once or more since bootup, due to any of the screen,
palette or font preferences being in £NV', Pretext will
refuse to open its window.
It is possible to get Protexl to run by either having
Workbench run in 2 colours - that makes it look really hor-
rible - or not allowing IPrefs to run in the startup-
sequence. The only other way to get Pretext to work is by
using a Workbench screen that rs 1900 pixels wide. Protext
will then open a huge window that is not at all practical to
use.
Mr Churchill, Nottingham
Protext is quite an old program, and even version 4 was
written with Workbench 1.3 in mind. Having said that,
there realty should be no problems running such an OS
legal program, unless it is doing something naughty.
You would normally assume, in (his sort of case, that
the program is at fault, but Protext is normally a very
well behaved program, and version 4.3 should run
under Workbench 2 without any problems.
Generally, in these situations you have to assume
that the program is at fault, but as 1 have said you
should not be having any trouble with Protext, Your first
move would be to check the program tool types. From
here you can normally adjust certain options to do
with how a program works. In this instance, an option
to get Protext to run on its own screen would be nice to
try.
After that, you are only really left with trying to
adjust any window settings from within the program,
or it is always worth checking that some other
background program or hack, as some of them can
turn out to be r is not interfering with it. Other than
that, it would be worth considering an upgraded to
Protext 6.

EMOTE DEVICES
Hi, l am Diego and am writing (ram
Argentina. I have an A 1200 with 6Mb and
/ would like to know a couple of things. I'm
searching for a game that can be played
over the modem, and I already have Skid
Marks 11, but would like to try something a bit
different.
A friend of mine has bought a CD 12 and saw a
coble that you can plug into the A 1200 and CD 32 to
allow you to access the CD 32 with the A 1200, Do
you know of this cable, and does it actually work?
Diego Waisman, Buenos Aires
It is always nice to hear from one of
our farther flung readers, and
Argentina is pretty far flung. Games
that are playable over the modem, in the Skid
>/
Marks manner, are pretty rare on the Amiga. The
only one ( can think of off the top of my head is
Knights of the Sky by MicroPros*. This is a very
good World War 1 dog fighting flight sim
and really zooms along on a A 1200, as it was
written with the A500 in mind. Other than that I
cannot think of any others, and even all our game
gurus were stumped.
With regard to what your friend saw, a couple
of devices came out that allowed the CD32 to be
connected to an A1200. This was via a serial
cable and using something like serNET which lets
you access the CD32 drive like any other
disk from the Workbench. They work well, but the
real problem with all of these is that they are
generally quite slow because of the slow serial
cable.

FEBRUARY 1996
ISSING MMU
j own an Amiga 4000/030 and haw been having trouble with tunning out of RAM
when using my sound sampler and digitiser, A friend suggested I send off for a
virtual memory program from a PD house.
I followed the instructions which said it will work on any Amiga with Workbench
J 2,x and higher, hut I just simply cannot get It to work, Alt 1 can get it to do is write a
4Mb file to my hard drive and then crash. I hope you car help.
/{Tines Sergeant Sussex
* y If things in life were only so simple. Unfortunately, the program instruc-
tions are lying. To use virtual memory in this way, you have to
have a MMU - a memory management unit - fitted to your machine.
The Q5Q version of the A4000 is the EC version, so has no MMU, and
therefore, unfortunately, you will not be able to get the advantages of virtual
memory.

1200 ANSWERS
I am thinking of buying an A 1200
later this year, but there are a num-
ber of questions I am confused
,J about that l would like answering
before I buy one, 1 will probably be
using the Amiga for scanning and word
processing applications.
1. What is the difference between 2,5 and
3.5 inch hard drives?
2. Is there really enough room to fit and
install one of the above drives inside the
A 1 200?
3. Which do you recommend - internal or
extern aD
4. Does an IDE hard drive mean it is internal?
5. An J Over Drive" hard drive seemed to cost
less and be more convenient, and does not
invalidate the Amiga's warranty by slotting
straight into the PCMCIA port. Does this
mean I cannot use the Squirrel interface?
6. Using SCSI CD-ROM doves on the Amiga,
rt'hkh CDs can 1 use? Philips CD-i, CD32 PC
CD-ROMs?
7. How good are the graphics of the AC A
chipset compared with PCs?
Andrew, a.m.h.\>vongJ<a;udon,ac.uk
It would probably have been
y — * easier just to say tell me
everything you know about
IDE drives and the Amiga! IDE
stands for Integrated Drive Electronics, this
means that the hard drive interface is built
into the drive. So when it comes to fitting
an IDE drive all you have to do is connect
it with an IDE cable.
To answer your first two questions, 3,5
inch drives are, surprisingly, an inch wider
and generally a lot larger than 2.5 inch dri-
ves. They also have a separate power sup-
ply and are quite a bit cheaper, due to
them being easier to make. The A1200 was
designed to take a single 2.5 inch hard
drive infernally, but it is possible to fit a

is quite a squeeze and you need to get
hold of a special cable to fit it
I would opt for the internal drive, mainly
because It does not take up any more desk
space, and as long as the drive is fitted
by an authorised dealer you will not
invalidate your warranty.
The OverDrive hard drives are actually
IDE mechanisms, so IDE drives do not have
to be fitted internally. The main reason for

hardware to behave properly 7
Well calm down and swap the axe for pen and paper,

the low price ol the 'OverDrives is that they
use 5.5 inch drives which are cheaper. The
big draw back Is that you will lose your PC
slot, so you will not be able to use cmy
other hardware that uses the PC slot.
In answer to question six, the Amiga
can read any of these CDs but rt can only
run programs which are written for the
Amiga. Therefore, you may be able to look
at file on a PC CD, but you cannot run any
PC programs,
it is a little difficult to directly compare
AGA to a PC system. HAM modes are
unique to the Amiga and can be thought of
as a pseudo 24-bit display that Only
requires 8 bitpfanes. Therefore, on a dis-
play basis AGA Is equivalent to a 2Mb
SVGA graphics card. Where it loses out is
on screen update. If you try to run a 256
colour screen On anything but a low reso-
lution screen then AGA starts to show the
strain. If you then try a DblPAL no flicker
screen In 2 56 colours, screen update
almost grinds to a halt.
On PC systems the effects of running
higher resolution modes are much less
pronounced, as PC video cards use video
RAM. This allows the screen to be updated
by the computer, as well as being out-
putted to the monitor for display. The AGA
chipset can only do one of these at a time,
and in high resolution screens, displaying
the screen takes up so much time that
there are very few dock cycles left for the
screen to be re-drawn.
Qd quandary
I want to add a CD-ROM to my A 1 200, but the information 1 am gening
about CD-ROMs seems to be inconsistent, In reading letters about
CD-ROMs, people seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting them up
and running.
So, my questions are: Do you have recommendations as to brands that
are compatible with my system?; do I have to get drivers, since I have Workbench
5.0, from the AmiCDRom handler, or would they be included and be able to work
on the Amiga when I purchase a CD-ROM?; would the Squirrel help in connecting
the CD-ROM up to my system? Any other pertinent information you might have
about CD-ROMs would be quite helpful to me since I am starting at ‘ground zero."
Michael Wilson, Seattle USA
>v think you have got a little too worried about fitting a CD-ROM to
t — J your Amiga. The process should be, and is, very straightforward,
-j You have probably got a little confused from other problem letters
in which people are trying to add CD-ROMs to an existing
SCSI board. If you already own a SCSI interface then H: is necessary to get bold
of the AmiCDRom handler software - this is public domain, so is readily
available. The installation is very straightforward - you just have to make
sure you pick the right device name for you SCSI interface and that the
CD is set to the right SCSI ID. This is where people can have problems, but you
just have to check in the manual what the device name is for that particular
interface.
If you are starting from scratch then I would recommend the Squirrel option.
You get a proper SCSI interface, and the supplied software is setup to use a CD-
ROM. If you purchase the CD-ROM with the Squirrel you have a ready-to-use
solution. Just install the software, which is very straightforward, and away you
gd
Currently, the only real bind with Amiga CD software is CD 53 incompatibility.
The Squirrel comes with CD 32 emulation which is pretty good, but can still fail
to run some CD52 games - however, all other Amiga CDs will work fine.
Hopefully, game writers producing CD software will move towards writing
generic Amiga CD titles that simply act like hard drive installed games, but
working from the CD.

features graphical analyses of transactions
(either on ore day, in a week, or over a

a log file in case you acci dentally after some-
thing and need to backtrack at a later date.
Also included is Financial Accounts 1,4,

Ultra Accounts does, with added extras such
as VAT statements and an investments
It's all very well deciding you want to organ-

n quite probably the greatest computer
^ame ever (although admittedly Sensible
World Of Soccer comes quite dose). The
problem is that Microprose have not seen fit
CD update it in any way whatsoever since its
original release in 1991, with the conse-
quence that the data contained in the game
is now rather out of date.
To address this problem, and to provide
numerous gameplay improvements, Oliver
Roberts wrote FlGP-Ed, an early version of
which made its way onto an Amiga
Computing coverdisk some time ago. It
enabled the editing of team and driver
names, car colour schemes and suchlike,
and allowed less patient drivers to cheat by
employing the driver aids even on the higher
skill levels,
FlCP-Ed has since developed at a phe-
nomenal pace. Version 3 enhances the game
in numerous ways. It's now possible to edit,
amongst other things, car set-ups and cam-
era views, the lap records, and the frame
rate of the display (producing smoother
graphics on faster machines), There are also
plenty of fancy additions: there's an optional
pit-lane speed limit for added realism, plus
the facility to upgrade computer car perfor-
mance on various circuits, and a handy cheat
whereby your car's position can be
snapshotted at any paint and then recalled.
The latter function is extremely useful for

EAR DOWN THE WALL
Produced by; Union
Available from: 17 Bit Software
Disk No: 3907
Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall receives the demo
treatment, with a rather scratchy sample of the song
being accompanied by plenty of fairly Fuzzy graphics.
Don't expect Gilmour and co to perform at CD quality;
knackered 70's tape^deck quality is closer to the mark. However, some quite impressive data
compression has obviously gone on to squeeze this whole pr eduction onto one floppy disk,
so the low sample quality is excusable, (It also probably helps avoids copyright problems.,.)
The visuals, if a little less than impressive in definition, are at least a little more imaginative
and impressive than might be expected. They're not stunning by any stretch of the
imagination, but they're passable.
Suddenly, however, Another Brick In The Wall finishes and we're catapulted Into a rather
average, highly predictable demo featuring texture-mapped donuts and cheesy tracker music.
This bizarre turn of events is a little disappointing but unfortunately not entirely unexpected;
perhaps a sad indictment of Amiga demos in 1995. There are few surprises left these days,
and demo programmers don't seem to be going out of their way to hit us with them. Still, at
least Tear Down The Wall includes some music that's not straight out of the Euro-cheese
dance stable.

Another compilation ol handy little utilities, in
the mould of the Vark diski. Most ate accompa-
nied by Read Me files., and those which aren't
are, for the most part, relatively easy to get to
grips with.
There are plenty of useful inclusions: there's
t.arhefnnt, which creates a file listing everything
in youT Fonts drawer, allowing programs to scan
its contents far more quickly; CkkNot, which
stops the floppy drive from making that irrrtatrng
dkking noise when there's no disk inserted; and
CPalette, which brings up a palette requester on
any screen,
DoubfeX forces mode promotion on ACA
machines, even on programs which normally
refuse to be affected. Embedder is a superb ACA
downgrading utility that runs as an Applcon r so
ACA-unfriendly programs can simply be dropped
onto its icon and run instantly. Fake mem is for
A12QQ owners, and converts all but 512k of
RAM into FastRAM, and apparently this makes it
possible to run certain applications Such as
Caligan, which otherwise would refuse to run.

OWEROIDS

Available from: 17 Bit Software
Disk No: 5920
Asteroids is the sort of classic that has spawned many imi-
tations, probably the most famous of which is
Blood house's Super Stardust which boasted stunning
graphics and a difficulty factor which made the legendary
hard Rick Dangerous games seem like a doddle.
Poweroids doesn't offer the same drop-dead gorgeous graphics - in fact, the visuals are
somewhat disappointing, However, there is the added bonus of multi-player blasting action,
because up to tour players can participate simultaneously with a four-player adapter, If you
don't own one of those little gizmos, its at least possible to enlist the help of one chum to help
destroy wave after wave of asteroids. There's also an excellent battle mode where players try to
blast the living daylights out of one another.
Unfortunately though, you'll only gel the chance to blast a couple of screenful? of asteroids
into oblivion with this particular version, because Poweroids is shareware. The full version, with
scores more levels, costs 20DM, Somewhat strangely, Poweroids requires a 69020 and 1 meg
of chip RAM, but it does
multitask happily (so don't
get worried if the starfield
starts to fade, it's just MCFs

Let's see, the Amiga A 1200 has been around for, what, three years
now? And Amos, infamous for refusing to run on any new machine
until a patch is released for it, has never been upgraded to take advan-
tage of the AGA chipset, Until now, that is. Formerly available for £10
from the now deceased Amiga Nuts PD, this extension can now be
obtained tor £3.99, and whilst it's still far from completion, it does
finally offer keen Amos programmers some ACA effects.
AGA screens can now be opened., the full range of colours is now
available, and a host of enhanced versions of standard Amos com-
mands are included. There are plenty of demonstration programs too,
so getting used to the new (and well documented) commands
shouldn't be too much of a chore.
Fully compatible with both 'Classic' Amos and Amos Pro, this has
been eagerly anticipated by many tor a very long time.

Gamer's Delight is another
compilation CD courtesy of
Schatzruhe, and basically it’s
based along the lines of the
Assassins disk. This, too, is
also the second in the series
but there were certain flaws
in the menu system then.
With this CD being designed
by a foreign company, the translation comes across
differently.
For example, instead of platform games being referred to
as 'platform games', they were referred to as 'jump and run',
which in fairness is no real fault of their own, it just looks
odd. The cursor to select options was a very faint colour, and
straining your eyes to make out what you were going to
select was imminent Gamers Delight 7 has now made an
appearance containing 1070 games from different categories.
There are 70 commercial releases, so don't expect Public
Domain, and an example from the 'Jump and Run' category
would be Go Kevin Go 1 - sounds great. There are various
other games called Gardener, RollerbaH, Willi Watker and
Balls. I suppose that sums up the CD quite well.
No
CONTEST
It may not be as polished as the Assassins series, but ifs dif-
ferent The games may be unheard of, and they may not be
of outstanding quality, but that’s certainly not what you
expect for E2&.95.
Although the Assassins compilation is the same price, it's
double the quality. I don't think there's any doubt which one
you should go for.

From UFOs to networks this CD
collection covers essential
programs and graphics for
your Amiga. Andy
Maddock reviews
Everybody who's anybody wilt have
seen, heard, or even used the
Aminet series, either on the past
CD-ROM series or via modem. All the
time, people are uploading their soft-
ware for use on Ami net’s extremely
impressive collection. Since its launch
there have been nine CD-ROMs and
these all contain the latest software for
that lime. Therefore, if you happened
to own the entire lot, you would proba-
bly have the most comprehensive
library of Amiga software to date.
G.T.I. are back to distribute the
famous Aminet Sets, and already they
are on to their second in the series. The
entire package is not cheap, at £34,95,
although for your money you do get four CDs absolutely
packed with gorgeous goodies that were uploaded in
November.
The CDs are split into categories - the first containing the

SSASSINS ULTIMATE GAMES 2
Bottom
The Assassins Ultimate Games is the second
■ the series of CDs, foil owing on from the
nmensely popular first instalment It inclu-
ded all the Assassins collections packed, and
rwdy to unpack, onto floppy disks. The first
CD contained a wide variety of excellent
canes as well as some compilations of
n T^uh rr>e dssasarnt CD, rh^l’s
jwquued r* to Simp^ chfffc an (ho j'c9D<
utilities. What made ihrs compilation superb
were the presentation and features, an
excellent menu system, bootable or non-
bootable as well as compatibility with the
CD32.
This collection has game disks T- 1 20, 6Q
utility disks, and 70 workbench games.
These ere all in the usual DMS format and
wilt need unpacking to floppy disks. You can
access everything from the excellently imple-
mented AmigaGuide database, and all the
information you require will undoubtedly
feature here, including compatibility with
various machines.
The games contained on the CD range
from shoot- 'em-ups to pub quines, and if
you re not looking for something specific
then there is something here for absolutely
anyone.
If you're looking for a decent CD with a
whole host of PD games and utilities.
Assassins is undoubtedly the best. It features

ET WORK CD 2
The first Network CD arrived
courtesy ol Weird Science
some time ago, and now theii
latest Networking CD has
finally appeared - (aster and
far more powerful than ever
before.
The main idea is to join
together the Amiga and a
CD32 via a cable from the Serial or Parallel port to the
Auxiliary port on the CD32. This will give your CD32 a new
tease of life as a remote CD-ftQM drive, As most CD drives
are operated via SCSI and the PCMCIA slot, the majority
tend to be quad -speed and almost instantaneous. You may
be thinking that because the CD32 is only double-speed,
the file exchange rate won't be particularly good Well, you
would be right, although on this Network CD there are
many programs to get the most from your CD32 as well as
the fastest speed.
Setting up is made even easier than before - a simple
process of entering the CD, booting up the machine, waiting
for it to be ready, and sending all the relevant information
down the Serial cable. Then a pseudo-device entitled
“Metwork'' will appear on your desktop, inside here you will
by some excellent presentation. There are
descriptions of the games as well as informa
tidn on the author, so it really does add up
to being one of the most professionally
presented CDs around today.

find a CDQ and RAM drawer, and you must remember that
they are only drawers and not devices, Once this h set-up
you can change the CD in CD32 because it will override the
auto-reset function, then all you have to do is assign it and
away you go - it r s as simple as that.
What makes this one of the most delightful packages is
that if you should move the mouse pointer off-screen it will
simply appear to have locked op, Adding another monitor
through the CD32 will reveal your mouse pointer moving
swiftly around on the other monitor. Also, not only can the
mouse be transferred to the other machine, but also the
keyboard, as soon as you move off-screen.
Improvements
Depending on your machine and setup, you will have a
variety of baud rates from 57,600 to 1 15,200, and
for a standard At 200 you r d be able to get
away with 76,800. There are programs
such as SID, for file transfers and
for viewing various formats
as well as many other
Internet and access tools
You can also unpack
various bootable disks
to make the connection
procedure even easier.
The main improvements
over the first are that the CD
boots in around 45 seconds, the
CD32's programs can be run from
the Amiga itself, the connection pro-
cedure is simplified to only a click of a
button, and you also get many anima-
tions, games and images bundled on the
disk to kickstart you CD-Rom usage - these
can all be viewed or played through SlD, so
everything you could possibly think of has
been included.
Anybody with a CD32 and Amiga should
seriously think about getting connected, If
you look at all the CD-ROMs on these very
pages you will see just what you are missing
out on. This is none other than an essential
purchase.

NCOUNTERS: THE UFO PHENOMENON EXPOSED
u
OlllErX
THE I' -O
P HSnOIM IDO-
There are so marry ques-
tions about ufology that
most people are either
too scared to ask or too
sensible. People are
frightened with the
unknown, and recently,
although having being
around for many years,
aliens are beginning to steal the limelight and become
more believable than ghosts. Or are they the same thing?
One reputed feature of Aliens is that they can take any
form! Apparently.
What does an Alien look like? Does the government
really communicate with them? Was the Roswell incident
a cover-up? Have places like Hangar 1 8 stored ufol-
ogy? Who are the Men in Black? Why do they
drive red Escorts?
All these questions and more are
revealed on this brand new CD
called Encounters: The UFO
Phenomenon Exposed. On the
rear cover rt. says: This CD con-
tains information that
NOBODY wants you to know/
And this is perfectly true,
However, don't take it the
wrong way, thinking they're
stolen classified reports. They are
merely documents people have
managed to lay their hands on. Are
they tree? Nobody knows-
If the government did come out and make
a speech to say that UFOs/Aliens Q rfj] . pfctm „ t „,
existed, although there s really noth mui0 p M y. tt *** bought to h 9 m by a
ing to wony about, there would be a
world panic However, if they manage to keep it as one of
those 'believe it or not subjects, the public would have
no option but to disbelieve it
According to a document in the CD itself, there are
over 70 recognised species of 'Aliens' or other beings.
The most popular of species has to be the 'Greys.' These
are described as being thin and spindly, have large bald
heads, huge dark eyes, two dots for a rose, and a small
line for a mouth. And of course they are grey.
After having read almost every documentor the entire
CD, I now fed as though I'm getting to know quite a bit.
For instance, did you knew that the government are car-
rying out a coverup as we speak? Well, it's called an
indoctrination, and it's a plan to make you disbelieve.
When a UFO sighting is reported, and it's a major one
which the government can't explain, they filter it
through to a popular medium - namely the
tabloids. They will then blow it out of
proportion - such as the 't was
snatched by Pamela Anderson
look-a-like aliens!' story - so peo-
ple laugh it off, and subcon-
sciously dismiss the whole
thing. Clever? I think so.
This CD covers every budding
ufologist's dreams as there are
documents covering abduc-
tions, origins, cattle mutilations,
crop circles, landings, sightings,
crashed UFOs, and government
conspiracies and cover-ups.
Basically, the entire CD uses an
AmigaGuide and all the documents can be
accessed very easily along with a
series of pictures. Most of the CO is
rninfc jfnsauetr. i *ay mor*,.. text related — 200Mb - which
means there are a lot of documents. However, each cate
gory has its own pre-packed Lha hie so you can instantly
unpack it to your hard drive.
All the information on the CD is excellent It gives all
sorts of documents that are supposedly 'top secret' and
some of the accounts of abductions will send a shiver
down your spine. The whole CD covers everything to do
with UFOs, especially offering explanations as to why
World War 2 started! Hitler was an alien! Er, I made that
up actually. It does sound like some people take it ton
fir, but after actually reading the documents, how can
you possibly not believe it? This is the case when
500,000 people have reported abductions in America
and they all roughly fol low the same pattern Spooky!
If you have a keen interest in ufology or you're looking
for some convincing evidence, look no further,

UROCSENE 2
By now, you probably know about under-
ground clubs and places where everyone gets
together to 'join as one' and just enjoy life.
No restrictions, no egotistical bigots - every-
body is free to enjoy what they want to enjoy.
Euroscene is more or less an underground
Amiga scene, where various Amiga users get
together for parties and groupings for demo
showings, music and pictures, amongst other
things, and then generally talk about if after-
wards - on demos. That's why you always get
a certain type of text on demo scrollers which,
H you haven't been to a certain venue, you
won't understand. Generally, these venues
are held alt around the country, although
mainly in Europe.
This CD contains various files from these
particular get-togethers. Images, demos,
C atm* s*
filcluwj are
(he tru*
nature or
Euroieene
music, graphics and all the relative players
and views are included, The main source of
ail these various formats come from diskmags
and if you're a keen follower of these, then
they will undoubtedly inform you of various
forthcoming 'bashes/
Categorisation
The categories are divided up i-nto a listing
which is sorted by the name of the group.
You may recognise some of them if you have
used Aminet or other compilation CDs. Most
of the larger files or demos are compressed
as a D MS format, although there are many
ready-to-run programs and files. There are
also various graphic viewers, mod players,
text resources, programming guides and
many other useful utilities. As you'd expect.
Roughly

the quality of the demo/image/module rea-
lly depends on the respective quality of the
group. At the moment, the Polka Brothers
seem to have made a big impact of the
demo scene, ranking high in the charts of
many diskmags.
If you are into the demo side and getting
to know other Amiga users, then Euroscew
will manage to satisfy your curiosity into
these underground happenings. It's certainly
good value for money at £9.99.

ith Amiga powered sys-
tems being used to
drive powerful multi- A
media information
systems at such places as the
Cleveland police for ce r
Colchester Zoo, hotels,
petrol stations, football
grounds and a multitude of
other areas all over the
world, and at a fraction of
the cost of alternative PC
systems. The Amiga has.
more than proved It has the
capabilities to be used in
such systems.
ImageVision is a new product
from a company based in
Sweden, and it is their intention to
produce and develop ImageVision to
be, at the very least, as functional as Seal a
MM400, if not better.
The ImageVision package comes in a very
well presented double CD case. The actual
disk is cm the front side of the CD case with
the extras CD on the other. You do not actu-
ally need a CD-ROM drive to use the program
because the entire ImageVision program and
basic tutorial are all compressed onto the sin-
gle floppy, The CD is just there to hold a far
more advanced demo script and a whole
host of extras.
Some of the extras include a wide selec-
tion of excellent backdrops covering liquids,
stone and some more surreal types, full-
screen Mpeg animations, along with a few
music modules and a lot of high-quality
Sound samples, These are not all installed
with the ImageVision program but will, of
course, still be available off the CD,
Installation is very straightforward using
the standard installer, even though it does
take a while, A basic installation will only
require about 5Mb worth of hard drive space,
while if you go for the full installation include
ing the full CD demo script this requires over
25Mb of hard drive space. Everything gets
copied into a single directory, apart from the
extra fonts and a couple of assigns that have
to be added to your user-startup.
When you start up ImageVision, the first
thing that strikes you is just how good look-
ing it is, The interface even puts MU! to
shame, but just because something is good
looking does not particularly mean it is worth
having. This thing is going to have to be quick

The main interface consists of three basic
windows - the script, tools, and icon win-
dows. Using all three you can easily and
quickly construct complex multimedia pre-
sentations, For each script you are working
on there is a single script window. A start
icon wili always be the first icon you have
and from this start point you drag in new
icons, each icon relating to the action you
want to take place at that point in the script.

Construction
The actual Script construction is done in a
tree-style format, with parent icons in the
tree having 'child' icons connected from
them, As this is meant to represent the linear
sequence that the presentation will take,
only menu icons are allowed to have more
than ore 'child' connection.
With a menu icon, each of its child icons
would represent a possible selection in that
menu. All the others have to be connected in
the sequence they should appear in. To

RAPHICS EDITOR
This built-in part of ImageVision is where you con con-
struct your various menu screens, if you double -dick on
any menu icon in the script window you can gain access
to the graphics editor from the menu's requester.
The graphics editor seems to hove been designed with
the basic assumption that you will be using a background
graphic which wit! then have your various menu choices
on top of that This is because most of the tool's available
are geared towards faying out and presenting blocks of
text over a background screen. Having said that, you are
able to load in brushes over your background and scale
these to any size you wish and move them to any position.
The main tool box available on the editor's screen
allows you to change the appearance of the on-screen text
in a variety of ways. You are able to choose whot font the
text should appear as, whether it should be freely posi-
tioned or formatted with left/right justification or centred.
Along with these, you can also add drop shadows, hart-
ground colour text fill colour, or apply o bevelled effect to
the text all of which can take their colour from a scrollable
colour selection at the bottom of the requester,
Once text has been entered you are free Id move it any-
where on the screen you mini as-rng the mouse, or enter
another section of text which you can then apply with a
different set of effects. Any af the current available colours
can also be changed by hitting the edit button, and this
then pops up one of those newish Amigo colour wheel
gadgets . , allowing you to choose a new colour.
I
connect one icon to another, every icon has
a small white tail coming out of the top of it
and you just grab this and drag it to the icon
you want to connect it to, The two icons will
then be linked in The tree.
Once icons have been dragged from the
icon's window into the script window they
can be moved around, selected, cut, pasted,
and if you double-click an them you can con-
figure the various aspects of that type of icon.
To help distinguish between similar icon
types in the script window, each icon can be
given a name that is shown in the screen
title bar when you place the mouse over iL
This way of constructing the script is excel-
lent, It is possible tp see the form that the
presentation will take straight away, and it is
very easy to change the flow of a presenta-
tion. I was a little concerned at first that a
large script would become unwieldy because
the tree could become quite large, but to
prevent this ImageVision has a couple of
tools to help you organise the script into
sections.
The first are the group and un group func-
tions which help you package a selected area
of icons into a single group icon on the scrip!

LICK EDITOR
''.so available from a menu icon's requester, the dick editor is where you add the actual active
aras to buttons or hot spots on each menu screen. When you first run the dkk editor for any
m menu, you are presented with whatever graphic design you have drawn up for that menu,
ahng with a list view requester with oil the possible menu selections for that screen.
The possrWe setectforts dre to go bad to the previous menu from the current one r and nor-
mally this is made possible by pressing the right mouse button anywhere an the screen, and
the others will be all the child nodes from that icon, These are all listed in the 'Action 1 list view
requester.
To make an area of the screen ‘selectable’ you have to first mark out the area that you want
hie Lrscr to have to dkk on for any one menu selection, This is done by using cure of four tools
aren't fed by ImageViston. Currently ; buttons can take four shapes - either rectangular, circular
dkpse, or a complex polygon shape. The polygon shape allows you to define any outline shape
using any number of straight lines, so with only a little patience it is possible to build up some
quite complex button shapes.

quickly knock up impressive and easy-to-use
presentations. However, in its current form
even the authors admit InnageVision is not
currently on a par with Scala, but it is their
firm intentions to make it so.
The program has been written in a mod-
ule form so new icons can be added at any
time, therefore making the program easy to
extend. ImageVision also has the advantage
of being a good deaf cheaper than MM4C0.
In terms of features, Scale currently has the
advantage, but with I mageVi lion's superb
easy-to-use interface, and if the authors can
keep regularly adding to ImageVision, Scala
could be faced with a very strong competitor.

svindow- This will help you tidy up the look
pt your scripts. When a section of the script
has been tested, select all the Icons, hit the
group option, and you will be left with a sin-
gle group icon. This can be given a name in
the normal way so you know what it is at a
later date.
The other tools are the jump, subroutine
and return icons which allow you to create a
new section of the script away from the rest.
By adding a |ump kon where the new sec-
tion should go and then adding a subroutine
icon, you are able to create part of the script
away from the rest of it. The return icon then
forces the script to return back to the parent
icon ol the original jump command.
This all adds up to a highly intuitive, easy-
to-use interface with which it is a doddle to
Compared to Scalo there is only a paftry number of wipes and fades
available. The scroll gadget to the light of them, however, suggests that
there could be future additions here. The wipes currently available are
fade to black/white and background, slide up/ down, bounce up/down,
co ver up/over, and card up/down, iVrpes can be applied between sec-
tions in the script, so menus con be gracefully disposed of, and in the

nprovement?
Frank Nord finds out
some other inkjets currently cm the market,
you can print on standard copier bond with
the BJC61G, Canon can also supply you
with a variety ol specialist papers and films
to meet your needs such as transparencies,
glossy papers and back print film, If you are
going to use it lor high-quality DTP do be
aware that running costs, particularly if you
are using the coated paper, are going to be
quite high, but no more so for the BJC510
than for any similar printer,
Canon's own brand coated
paper goes for £22 ex VAT
MBHKL_ for 200 sheets, but you
will probably be able
to find thir<b party papers cheaper.
Canon has retained the cartridge mecha-
nism that was present on the BJC60C
where you have a print head and four sep
arate cartridges for the inks - one black
cartridge that can be double the size of the
others, and one each of a cyan, magerta

Because the BJC6W is such a high resolution machine it is
difficult to make sure that the print head is optimally
aligned when it comes ouf of the box. To remedy this \
Canon hove a handy little self-test function that prints out
bars onto a sheet of paper along with instructions on what
io do, Simply choose the bar that looks the most solid and
make the lights light up in the right combination and voild r
you've just set your print head correctly. It is features Me
this that make owning and running a modem printer light

hat's new pussy cat?
ffiwf mdeed Well, you know that the BJC6W has q maxi-
miim print resolution of 720dpi, but unfortunately, the only
wy to take advantage of this super printing without
spending any extra money r at the time of writing , is to
Diw? a K equipped with Windows. Canon have produced
an extremely high speed driver for Windows that will
wfpL/f 720dpi prints { after a while - high resolution
printing takes time), but there is no equivalent for the
kmga.
Atone sadly, there ore no plans to ship this printer with a
driver of any sort hr the Amiga owner , although it c an be
used with the current BJC6W drivers that are available.
However , because these were written for the 8JC600
rather than the BJC6W, they only work at up fa J 60dpi so
you will only be using half the printer's capabilities.
Since Waif Faust has o/Woys had such □ good relation-
ship with Canon there is □ possibility that the Windows
software might he reproduced an the Amiga, which would
definitely he an improvement as everything is automated
through it. As it is, your only option if you want to get the
best results oaf of this printer (or indeed any printer) is to
buy Studio, The very latest version (2,10) supports the
BJC610 fully and outputs fantastic mutts thanks to the
unique colour matching system ft employs.
Canon can also supply you
with a variety of specialist
papers and films to meet
your needs such as
transparencies, glossy
papers and back print film
No arguments there then. Even So, moat of
the prints 1 did, which varied in size
between a quarter of a page and half a
page, took no longer than fifteen minutes.
The way the paper feeds into the printer is
quite handy too. The fact

and yellow cartridge. These can all be indi-
vidually replaced so if you're printing off all
rhusE yellow pictures that you never did
when you had a colour dot-matrix printer,
you won't be forced to go out and buy all
four inks in one go.

T you go for a 24-bit 720dpi masterpiece
■ii printing, don't expect to walk away with
it immediately, unless it J $ about Srtirn
across that is. The BJCG10 is not as fast as
the equivalent Hewlett Packard, as Canon
themselves readily admit. But, as they say,
would you rather wait a minute less for a
print, or have the highest possible quality?

n through the office door and hits
you in the back of the head,
Currently,, there seems to be a
new one every month, which is
i testament to how lively the
Amiga PD scene has been and
k still very much so.
In amongst all the stuff you
fad on Aminet, there is a type
of program distributed under
the title of shareware. This is
the concept where the author
allows you to test their program,
which they could have spent
years developing, to decide if you
want to keep it If you do keep the
program you are obliged to send the
author a set fee which can be as little as
impounds.
Paying your shareware fee gives the author
si incentive to keep on developing their pro
gram, and gives you direct support from the author
far that program This is along with the fact that the author
of i program you have registered for is much more likely
n? listen to any additions you want to that program,
It you use a shareware program you really should go
out and pay the fee. Not only will you have that nice
warm glowing feeling that you have done something
righteous and good For once in your life, you will also

e best things in life
are free, well almost.
Neil Mohr looks at some
of the best Shareware on offer
give the author another reason to keep on developing
their program. You aEso get support from them which
normally indudes them sending you the next few updates,
and they are usually very helpful when it comes to
problem solving. So all you people who have unregistered
programs lurking on your hard drive, nip down to the
bank, get your wallet out, and give yourself a huge karma
boost
All the fallowing programs have demos available on
Aminet, where you can also find full ordering details,

QmageStudi
ImageStudio should be fairly well known to
everyone Programmed by a couple of local
Macdesfield lads, this is a very well supported
and put together image processing program.
The main improvement for the latest version is
he addition of full colour windowed previews
hat let you get a better impression of what
he final picture will be like.
The package comes on two disks end is
installed using - everyone together now - the
standard Amiga installer. For people that have
never used ImageStudio before, there are a
good few tutorials to guide you through the
different aspects of it These are in with the
AmrgaGuide manual which also doubles as
!he on-line help.
You now have the option of the preview
window working in either grey scale or colour
modes, You wilt be gtad to know that the
colour previews seem to be redrawn as fast as
tie grey scale ones, but you will need a Hi-res
screen mode with at least 64 colours to get
'he best out of It
ImageStudio has the normal array of colour
control effects like balance, gamma and com
fast, along with the standard image manipu-
lation tools, such as flip, scale, cub grey scale,
relative and pixellated. The more interesting
parts o! ImageStudio come in the form of its
convolute effects and the comprehensive
Afiex* port
Convolute is a normal image processing
function, and through ft you can produce hun-
dreds cf different effects. With ImageStudio
you get a number ol standard convolutes
which you can select from the handy convo-
lute list view, lit is also possible to add your
O
own to the list and save them for future use.
Some of you might be quite surprised when
you look at the system requirements at the small
amount of memory needed, because normally
image processing programs need as much
memory as possible. ImageStudio gets round
this by implementing internal virtual memory
which allows the image data to be stored on
your hard drive, therefore taking up no memory.
The down side is that all the disk access slows
down the preview redraws. If you do have
enough of RAM then you can tell ImageStudio to
use the RAM Disk as the virtual memory storage
space to gain 3 large speed increase.
With a good modular program design allow-
ing you to add your own convolutes and ARexx
scripts at a later date, and regular updates being

A rather unusual program, AmiBroker is a com-
prehensive share manager, allowing you to
study and predict trends In the market and to
maintain a portfolio of shares. Installing is via
the Amiga installer and this copies all the nec-
essary files in to a single directory and installs a
couple of fonts.
The main interface is wonderfully pro-
grammed. All the necessary tools are at hand
in icon form, and the list of Shares are dis-
played in a scrollable list view. The remainder
of the screen is taken up with a display of the
recent form of the selected share along with
any of the statistical analysis functions you can
choose. One excellent feature is that when you
select or deselect an anafysis function, the
remaining windows automatically resize to fit
them all onto the screen.
There are eight technical indicators of which
I know nothing about, but there are good
explanations ol them in the AmigaGuide man-
ual, allowing you to try and predict how your
various shares will perform. This runs alongside
a risk/yiefd map that allows you to quickly see
which shares give the best return at what risk
One problem with shares is that if you have
a good number of them in your portfolio, or
just want to hack a lot of them, there is a lot of
data involved. Currently, AmiBroker only sup-
ports importing Teletext data from the Polish
stock exchange. The programmer, however, is
willing to modify the program for other coun-
tries, and is working on an ASCII import to
make importing share data much easier.
As with Ami Atlas, this is better than many
commercial products, and at SIS is a give
away. With an excellent complete English
translated manual and a set of comprehensive
features for tracking the stock exchange,
AmiBroker is a brilliant program, it is a shame
that it may not get the wide use on the Amiga
that it deserves. __ m ,

the various accept, undo and cancel buttons always being available and in the same place, no mat-
ter what function you are using. All the information on the Current picture is always available in
top section, while the middle is used to display all the options for whichever function you
selected. This gives a good coherent interface
which is quickly learnt and very easy to use,
Another nice touch is if the current image is too
targe for the screen, you can either hit the space
key to toggle the control panel on or off, or there
js a small gadget in the top right that allows you
to easily scroll the preview screen around.
Where I PR comes out on top over most other
packages is the extremely good palette control
functions it provides. Fairly normal functions allow
you to adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma
available, but the immediate option allows you to
adjust the palette in real time, so cutting out any
wait lor a picture redraw. Only the grey scale and
broadcast colour functions do not allow this.
Other functions provided by !PR are mainly
restricted to warping or flipping the picture in
some way. Nothing too Earth shattering here -
simple flips, rotates quite nice fish-eye and sine
wave effects that do not leave you hanging
around either.
Overall, I PR is a very well presented program,
quick to learn and easy to use. Unfortunately,
other than the coEout control of 1PR there really is
nothing here that makes I PR standout There is,
however, a lot of promise and perhaps a new
version would change the situation.

Executive
For anyone that h not aware, the
Amiga has a 52-bit multitasking oper-
ating system, and has had since it
first came out ten years ago. You may
have noticed recently that this was
the cornerstone to IBM's 05 Warp
adverts, which seemed to proclaim
this as some sort of amazing feat of
programming genius. Sorry boys -
beat you to it
Executive compliments the exist-
ing way Amiga DOS assigns processor
time to each program running on
your Amiga. Normally, the operating
system will share processor time
between the highest priority pro-
grams that are asking for processing
time.
What Executive does is to watch
how much processing time every
program is using and shares it evenly,
Therefore, every program that needs
processor time can get some, so no
single program can hog all of the
processor, If you read the documen-
(SEXIMQ
FEBRUARY I 996
tation that comes with the distribu-
tion archive - which also doubles as
the excellent on-line help - the
author goes into great depth about
explaining the use of different
processor time sharing schemes.
Some are suited to low processor
loads while others handle high bad
systems better, and to help tailor
Executive to your system there are six
different schemes for you to choose,
so everyone should be able to find
one to suit.
To your average user just using
Word worth, this is not going to be
amazingly useful, but lor the power
user and people that have a few CPU
sucking programs running alongside
each other. Executive can be of real
value. It sits in the background
diligently polling each task, and
you will never know its there -
apart from the fact that your
programs will be running much
smoother together,

Shareware games
ASTER BLASTER
*
I cannot believe just how addictive this game
is, it should have a government health wann-
ing on the Side. I must have lost days playing
this game with my friends. To be lair, 1 was a
huge fan of the -original Oynrta Blaster which
also allowed up to five players and had the
same sickeningly addictive game play. For
fj liVhert fhj'a firs! cam#
pvt if was said fp
encourage hrifljs Id ga alii
planting bomba. Yeah,
right
people who do not know, Master Blaster is a
owe type of game. You start off in a grid
maze, trapped by exportable blocks. By drop-
ping bombs you Create more mom to move
around in and when you get the chance you
can blow your fellow competitors to kingdom
come. Along the way you can get power ups
to gain more bombs, bigger flames and other
handy abilities,
This new shareware version adds many fea-
tures to the original game. Along with the
original game play and the ability to have five
players on at once, the new version allows
you to adjust almost every part of the game,
You can select your favourite character graph-
ics, how many wins are needed, and how
much money to start with.
Master Blaster allows you to collect money
so you can buy power ups before you start the
next round, and there is the chance to win free
money in the nerve shattering Wheel-O-Fortune,
With extra power ups, team play, three dih
ferent levels, selectable power ups, and even
better coding than the last version, you can
now quit to Workbench. With addiction
beyond belief Master Blaster is a must buy.
Qeluxe galaga
Another fiendishly addictive game, Deluxe
Galaga is apparently based on an old Vic20
game called StarBattle - can a Vic20 game be
anything but old? As with Master Blaster, the
programmer's main aim is lor the game to
play well, and Deluxe Galaga certainly
does that. Reminiscent of many old
space invader type shoot-'em-ups, you
have to battle your way through wave upon

wave of menacing alien meanies-
Each wave swoops down in various initial
attack patterns to form at the top of the
screen, where they deploy in sorties,
Galaxian§ style. Once you have killed them
all, you're onto the next level. To add another
layer to the game there are power ups to
pick up which have been dropped by the
aliens when you killed them, along with

n the beginning the
earth cooled, the seas
formed, and life came
tp the planet, That life
evolved from single cell animals a
the way up the food chain to the
dinosaurs which eventually became extinct
lor reasons still uncertain. Man reached his
ascendancy and invented the home computer,
for which more men designed the software
imagine 3. Finally, there came Dinpverse horn
a small company called Kryonix and now we
pin the story.
Dinoverse is the name of a very cheap set of
ejects designed for use with imagine 3 or
trgher based! around a variety o! dinosaurs.
There are lout dinosaurs; in the package rang
mg from the highlyndetailed Velotiraptor design
i; the Triceratops. En addition to these four
familiar beasties, there is also a selection of
prehistoric plants and insects, although, given
the deferences in scale, you might never end
up using them in the same scene together.
Texture maps
The objects themselves ate rot modelled in
superfine detail, hut certainly detail enough for
■whole body foreground shots, except for the
■.sloci raptor which fills a disk all by itself. The
texture maps that the author has created for
the models are nice, with larger-than-screen
sized bitmaps for good surface detail, but there
are no separate greyscale bumpmaps for that
authentic pebbly skin look,
This is wholly due to Imagine s deficit when
it comes to bump mapping an object with a
texture. The reason for this is that Imagine 3
uses the Y-axis to determine the apparent
extent of the peaks and troughs of a picture
used as a bumpmap, which means that posi-
[ honing and sizing a texture in three dimensions
1 becomes an impossibility. To add insult to
injury, Imagined fairly groovy states function
doesn't work properly with bumpmaps, so
a though you can set a slate you can't
lock it down, This means that instead
of the bumpmap moving with your
object it stays in the same place, so
that your object moves through
the texture. This problem is sup-
jHKedi to be resolved m Imagine
A, but as Kryonix supply the
objects without bumpmaps, it's all
nudh of a muchness. In addition
to the dino-
saur models, you will
also find several landscapes that
have been saved out of Vista Pro in
two versions as low and very low resdu
tion (compared to the originals) imagine
objects which would make a useful back-
ground on which to place your saurian actors.
To finish off the scene, Kryonix have provi-
ded an animated sky map with 120 frames of
animation to overlay onto a cloud object as a
transparency map. The sky animation is
extremely subtle, so don't expect to see majoT
changes in the sky if you use it Also it doesn't
loop, which is a shame, so there's no use mak-
ing your animations exactly 120 frames to take
advantage of 3 loop.
The 1 0 disk set comes with a printed man-
ual explaining how to install the disks (simply
copy them all into a drawer and assign it
accordingly) and more importantly, how to
actually use the objects in Imagine. The tutorial
provided is written in a sparky, dear manner
and makes it easy for even the hare bones (If
yuLi'll forgive the pun) beginner to get to grips
with the awkwardness that is the States lunc-
tbn, One thing that must
be pointed out is
that you
probably
Digital lim still seem to
be in vogue even two years
after the release of Jurassic
Park. Frank Nord investigates
shouldn't read the manual if you are one of
those people who get incensed by poor
spelling, Numerous 't heir's for 'there's and
bizarre punctuation means that the manual
has a less than professional feel to it, and I
would urge Jeff (the author) to use a spell
checker before he does his next print run.
Things like this do make a big impression on
people and can spoil a very good produd
However, at a cost of only E24.99, il is hard to
fault the amount of work that has gone into
the truly important side of this package - the

ne of the most common prob-
lems most, new Ami gas have is
with the Amiga DOS command
Install Install allows you write a
otblock onto a formatted disk so that it
auto load when the disk is inserted. Your
cbench disk has a bootblock.
However, if you only have a single drive,
using Install can be a nightmare. The prob-
lem arises when you want to install a disk in
Dfj i the internal drive) but your Amiga
keeps askeng for your Workbench disk which
rt then duly tries to install The Install com-
mand is located in the C directory on your
Workbench disk which means that the
kbenth disk must be in DF0 at the time
iha Install command Is executed.
[ Fortunately, there is a neat way round this
problem by using the Resident command.
Resident simply pre-loads selected files into
memory so that they no longer need to be
leaded horn the Workbench disk.
Open the Shell and type in the following:
Ed tup-tiqutiut
This will load up ED, the Amiga's text editor
along with the text file Startup-Sequence.
Locate the first last Resident command and
add below it:
RfSidfCT >ML; >: : ] r.s l a L l PUHE
Save the edited Startup-Sequence by
pressing Esc, x and then Return, then reboot
your Amiga with the Workbench disk in DFO,
You should now be able to insert a blank
disk in DFO when Workbench has loaded and
run the Install command with no problem.
aEmxpj
If you're a beginner you're at
the right place. Steve White
explains how you can get the
it s out of your Amiga home
computer and WorkbencH

If you've used the Shell at all you will realise
luw boring it can be typing out long- winded
commands. And if you make a mistake you
haw to type the bloomin' thing out again. Or
, so h seems,
i Once again, Workbench comes to the res-
cue this time in the form of Aliases, An alias
is simply a label of your choice that points
ic a command. Let me show you a better
example. Open you Shell and type in;
Ed SrShfU-StirTup'
This will load up ED with the text file Shell*
Startup located in the S directory. This file
actually contains the current aliases and is
loaded every time you run the Shell Below
the last alias type in:
Allis q trdclt
Save the Shell-Startup by pressing Esc, x
d'd then Return and finally close the Shell
window. Now open it up again and type in q
followed by Return. The Shell should close
again, The alias has told the Shell to
understand q to mean enddi.
HICH FORMAT?
□
ISGUI SE
Thanks to its user friendliness, Workbench makes formatting disks a pain-
less procedure. Just insert a disk into DFO, click it once, and select Format
Disk from the menus.
If you look in the System drawer on your Workbench you'll notice an
icon called Format as well. By running this program you are not only
restricted to DFO but can also format your hard drive, if you have one, or
PC disks provided you have the PCa datatype in the Datatypes drawer
found in Devs (short for devices, which is exactly what disks drives are).
You can still use the same options provided by the menu Format Disk
option but with the advantage of being able to choose a particular device.

Qotal recall
Pressing the right keys is a precarious business when
you're new to the Amiga, and making mistakes in the Shell
can be a problem. But by pressing the arrow up and arrow
When you first get your Workbench the first
thing you want to do is load it up and try out
everything. But being too adventurerous can
have its pitfalls, I, and many other Amiga own-
ers. have fallen foul of the scrolling Workbench
In Screen Mode you can alter the size of the
Workbench display and! scroll to any areas not
visible in the monitor dimensions with the
mouse. Having a Workbench the size of
Wembley Stadium sounds exciting but eats up
precious memory, Whatever you do, don't save
the Screen JWode preferences or you may find
that when you reboot later on, Workbench
won't load because ol insufficient memory.
This is not the place for complicated solutions
so avoid it at all costs,
down (cursor) keys Shell will allow you to recall your pre-
viously entered commands so that you can simply edit the
mistakes you made previously.

IGGER IS BETTER
If you run out of room or your Workbench desktop
there is a way you car make the screen larger, This
really only applies to those of you using a proper com-
puter monitor and not the TV.
Co to the Preh drawer and run the Overscan pro-
gram, Select Edit Text Size and drag the four perimeter
bo^es to their outermost limits. Click on use and then
do the same for Edit Graphics Size. Now click on the
Save button and you wifi find yourself with a larger
Workbench than before. You may need to alter the
screen settings on your monitor in order to re-position
Workbench.

GREAT
RECOVERY
If you take a look in (he DOSDrivers dra-
wer in Storage you'll notice a program
called RAD. RAD is very similar to the RAM
disk and is taster than floppy disk drives
and hard drives,
RAD is actually a recoverable RAM disk
which keeps its contents even when you
reboot your Amiga or it crashes. The only
time it is emptied is when you turn
the Amiga on and off from the power
supply. Obviously, if you're running bom
floppy disk RAD can prove an invaluable
ally.
You can copy files to and from RAD
by simply selecting the directory RAD:
or by double- clicking on the disk icon
on the Workbench desktop. As an
example:
E*py MBtlMtliLi to rift!:
If you want RAD to automatically be
run every rime you boot your Amiga you
can simply drag rts icon to the DOSDrivers
drawer in the Devs directory, It's as simple
as that!
Qcons
When you start to personalise your
Workbench and start designing your own
icons {everyone does it), you'll realise that
the RAM disk can't have a disk icon attached
to it This is because when you reboot
your Amiga everything in RAM is erased -
including any icons,
Once again, there is a solution. First create
yourself an icon in IconEdit and make sure it
is a disk type. Now save it as RAMlton to
your $ directory. Load your User-Startup file
into ED as explained above, type in the
following and then save it;
copy >K[L: SrRMitcn tc RARrDisk .info
This copies your RAM I con item in the S
directory to RAM as disk-info (the name of
disk type icons) when Workbench loads.
Provided you have done everything right you
should see your icon on the Workbench
screen with Ram Disk underneath.

ETTING THE SCENE
When you first load your Workbench disk it looks rather bland. This is because it is preset la
display itself in only four colours. You can change this by altering the amount of colours in the !
ScreenMode program located in the Prefs drawer. However, you should be warned tfm
using more colours takes more of your Amiga's memory and slows down Workbench quite]
considerably.
ff you have Fast memory, using more colours won't be a problem and you can customise
your Amiga to your heart's content. Just look at how exciting Workbench can
really be.

RIGHT FUNCTION
Above the numerical characters on your key-
board is a line of keys preceded by F and
numbered from I to 10, These keys are
normally used by games software
but Workbench also allows you to use
them through the FKey program in
the Commodities drawer in the Tools
directory,
When you run this program, a window
appears in which you can attach certain
events to any of the F (Function) keys. To
create a new key simply press the New Key
button and type in F preceded by the key
number By clicking on the Command button,
you can cycle through a list of options
regarding Workbench operations, It is even
possible to get a program to run from an F
key by typing in the program name and
location in the Command Parameters box,
To make your F key changes permanent,
select Save Defined Keys from the menu
You could even drag the FKey program to
your WSStartup drawer so that it runs every
time you boot your Amiga.
D Vdu can attach certain Idforfctnnch functions la tha
F1-F10 key by using They In the Commodities drawer in Toole

Your essential guide to Amiga gaming
SYSTEM
By Andy Maddock
No news shocker
t's true. I'm afraid fa
say, although we
are brimming with
games as usual and
we've even had to
leave some out! My god. what
is happening! As far as news is
concerned, we're a little short.
By the end of the month my big
"News’ file is usually brimming
with foxes and transcribed
telephone conversations, but
all I could find when l iooked
was a hairy half -eaten apple,
which I forgot all about - but fin-
ished without haste,
But don't despair! There are
enough Doom clones coming
out over the next few months to
keep us going for ages. There
have been so many, surely
everybody is losing track of
which one's best Hopefully
we'll have a definitive Doom
guide sometime dunng the
future when we'll be looking at
every single aspect of each:
gam© -to reveal the champion
of champions, Sounds exciting?
Probably not.
Why don't you tell us what
you think? Write to us at the
usual address.
Weapons at the ready ■ More Doom. Marvellous
We can always rely on OTM for a bit of exclusive
news. Yes, they're back with the latest informa-
tion on some new releases they've managed to
latch themselves onto,
First up is a game entitled Wotchfower which
is basically a top-down 'Commando -style
arcade war game There'll be a simultaneous
two-player mode, several weapons, three dif-
ferent types of terrain including desert, jungle
and city, six long and challenging missions,
adjustable skill levels, and end-of-level
guardians. Instead of it sounding like a first in
gaming entertainment it looks like the old
arcade ’Commando' re visited, jazzed up and
ready to roll.
The game's being developed by Cyber Arts,
a name that sounds familiar, but I can't think
why, They are from Finland and apparently
ore set to thrill and excite games players
everywhere,
A new breed
No sooner had Alien Breed 3D hit the shelves than
Alien Breed 3D special edition is already on its way,
The programmer has managed to re-wrlte the
original 3D engine and managed to get the graph-
ics up to the level of Breathless and the brand new
Nemac IV. Like Breathless, Alien Breed 3D will Include
minor additions such as being able to look up
and down as well os major additions such as o level
editor,
There will be supports for graphic cards such as
Picasso II, and you will be able to alter the pixel ratio
from 2:2, 2:1 to 1:1, This is essential because some
peope prefer to play fast on a small screen, or dismiss the graphics for a full sized
screen. It's all down to a matter of taste and opinion.
You will be able to load all the original levels from Alien Breed 3D into the editor
and twist and change them as much as you like - or even design completely new
ones, Not only that, you will be able to draw your own aliens, add mission text, and
even make new sound effects,
From these screenshots il looks like this Is going to better the original Alien Breed 3D
and that got 91 per cent in our review. Can the best get better? We'll find out next
month when well hopefully bring you a full preview
Guildhall Leisure have Finally got around to releas-
ing their data disk for Gloom. It’s called Gloom
Deluxe and features new levels, beasts and oil
sorts of things,
The whole interface has now been re-written.
For example, you can now play via a modem,
choose a screen resolution as well as a screen-i
mode, and even play in a Workbench window.
You can now use the virtual i glasses as well as var-
ious graphic cards. It is ECS and AG A compatible
and you can basical ly customise it completely to
suit your own needs, finally, you can finally play it
in super Hi- res.
The whole thing looks like a vast Improvement
over the last and hopefully we r ll give it a full
low-down in the next month or two in our Doom
special. Hurrah!
The sequel
has now
arrived
with more
missions
than ever
before
4 s you can see from this
screenshot, the sequel to Ation
Breed 3D is looking pretty good
The whole

is now

'es. I'm afraid so. Just when you thought we'd shut the door
l the face of Doom clones comes Nemac IV, We are cur-
sntly chasing up a review copy so we'll hopefully bring you a
review next month, ft's by a German team, and pro-
jrammed by Stefon Schlott - a name previously unfamiliar to
3 lot of you, including me,
Basically, yes, it's another Doom clone, although this one

mare special then the
rest. For Instance, the
new virtual i glasses will
be compatible, and vir-
tual reality is something
which Doom on the PC
has yet to feature.
We saw this demo on
a recent upload from Aminef. The graphics ran at a horrific
rate and the sound effects were the best yet on ony other
Doom clone The explosions were pretty graphic and it plays
far better because you have to collect cades from various
computers dotted around the maze to unlock the doors
Also on Nemac IV you can select the screen size from
absolutely anything as well os the resolution
Take a note of the w^apan you carry.

Gloom competition results
Hurrah! We are pleased to announce that after
sitting through the many mail bags of entries we
rvave found a winner to ouf Gloom competitor! ,
Admittedly, It did take us around 2 or 3 minutes to
actually find one. And as we promised, we have
printed the winning entry.
We received some excellent entries including
one from James Sfanstield from Jersey who sent
us a disk! Wow, rt was a very scary disk - it was a
grey, Clever that When our Technical Editor sug-
gested we see what was actually on the disk,
there was another monster 1 Blimey he r s spent

Another good entry was Yorkshire lad, Liam
Walker's Angel of Death, He drew it from all
different angles and for a 13-year old it was a
cracking effort!
Michael Garclo’s Aguantos was also very
good And there were three of the funniest entries
ever. Firstly David Torres from Watford and Javier
Ospma from New York kindly set us in their entry
form without an entry, Good try lads, but th©
sheer audacity of it will win you absolutely noth-
ing And although Ben Finowski's entry didn't
actually win, check out the witty humour. In sec-

end and third place we shall award Liam Walker
and James Sfonsfieid for their efforts with a copy
of Gloom.
Finally, the winner is,,, Asa Marge tts and his

and Gloom will shortly be in the post. Be patient
though!

Same might say Sensible World of Soccer lost its
appeal after a while because of the bugs arid
bizarre crashes. Admittedly, I never experienced
any crashes although the major bug that most
people found Irritating was the monetary system

contains all the players that would feature in real

and no stadium,
There are actual in-game differ-
ences to this new version, but only
small ones. Your players' names
now appear in the top left-hand
corner of the screen: you can
now head the ball without ridicu-
lously diving about the place;
the crowd now jump up and
down like proper fans should;
when the players score they will
show their jubilation with their
arms; it's now a lot easier to
run around players, especially
if you're controlling someone
like Alan Shearer; and to top It
all off, with a quick press of
the joystick you can now
inform a player if he should
come and collect the ball,
or wait on the spot so if you
want to pass the ball out to
the wing, it will go to the
wing
The differences are
merely cosmetic and
affect the gameplay min-
imally, although if you
were to return to your
original game you'd miss
these slight changes an
awful lot,
If you're a real ton of Sensible Soccer, then this
is an absolutely essential purchase. Please

Another feature which you
an easily perform Is looking up

etty weird because when you saw a

This screen looks a tot like Doom, because you

self, shooting from your eye-level could
easily kill it - realistically, this isn't pos-
sible. However, Breathless lets you
^ look up or down at any angle to
see the enemy. Most of the
time you will enter a huge
room and find what looks
like a drained swimming
pool with a number of
beasts in the bottom,
Looking down enables
you to pick them oft one
by one.
However, there is o
downside, The view is
r quite difficult to toggle
between and it's hard to
shoot everything from the one
angle, This, however, is about
the only niggle I can find, There is
one other but I wouldn't refer to it as
a niggle, You see. nearly all the walls ore at
right angles, giving the game much of a boxy feel,
but it's only when you actually think about it that
it hos any effect on you, By the way, I didn't even
notice until someone else kindly pointed it out.
This is supposed to be night time. That’s
why your vision is slightly impaired and
alt you can see is the sky light!
The final word
Considering this isn't the first Doom
clone, you'd expect it to be at least
above overage after seeing the other
efforts, and Breathless Is above aver-
age in most woys. Whether it will suit
your needs is another matter Although
there may be four different worlds with
five sub- worlds. If still won't really lost
you that long. Okay, so maybe it is a
challenging game, but you get a pass
£ Breathless
features some
excellent
graphics and
sound effects,
and it plays
like a dream y
word after you finish a level, lei ting you
carry on. so you could probably finish in
less than a week.
That's about my only gripe.
Otherwise, Breathless features some
excellent graphics agd sound effects,
and it ploys like a dream. This certainly
ranks alongside Fears and Al ; en Breed
3D - there's absolutely no doubt in my
mind.

actually pretty disappointed, Although there was
a nice ray- traced intro bit that lasted about 0.75
seconds, I was left severely despondent, I didn't
seem to have much control over the spaceship,
and even after realising the mouse wasn't
plugged in, I still didn't have much control. The
scrolling was extremely jerky, and I hod to check
that a) the accelerator board was in and. b) If it
was working

couldn't even get out of the game when

sounds a little odd. I mean what possible work is
involved in managing a stretch of beach? Well,
it's a whole lot more complicated than you might
think, and there Is plenty of work involved as a
budding business entrepreneur
You have 20 metres of beach and promenade
to do with what you want plus the running of the
Pier Theatre, and the aim is to expand your deso-
late stretch of beach into a money-making
resort, You must buy shops, build attractions,, and
keep the place tidy. Staff must be hired too, from
the lifeguard to the guy that walks around with a
sandwich board advertising the shows You need
Let’s go to work
During the gome you will need to hire
casual labour to keep the place running
smoothly. You should aim to keep your
beech and promenade as tidy as passL
trie and to do this you can hire Refuse
Specialists Don't forget to collect the
money from your shops and facilities -
you con send out your Cash Man and
the money will then be transferred to
your bank However, it may also be wise
to hire Wide boy Securities to protect him
whilst he's doing this.
The safety of the swimmers is impor-
tant too, so a life Guard can be calied
upon to keep an eye out. And when
you've booked one of the many talents
tor your show, it pays to advertise, so
regularly hire the Advertisers to walk
around the beach to tel! everyone
about the weekly entertainment.

quite frank, it's a bit boring as a spectator sport.

quiet - just so the players can concentrate. Wefll
that's right you see. because football, cricked
basketball and every other sport in the entird
world requires no concentration, at all! No sirr&e. 1

The first thing you notice about

Super Tennis Champs is no
exception, and without delving
too much into the statistical
side, I will undoubtedly appeal
to everyone because it's one
of those games you can sit

□gainst a friend The two -player

I was always a big fan of Super Mario Kart on

The last racing gome I saw on the
Amiga was Turbo Trax. and that was
pretty goad, except it didn't really offer
anything new that stood out from the
rest,
As far as I know, the only game that's
relatively similar to Extreme Racing is
OTM's Virtual Karting - and thahs only
because the tracks are manipulated In
the same way. Extreme Racing is look-
ing far more professional than Virtual
Karting, and if a few tweaks are made
before the full version appears, it could
well be one of the finest multiplayer
games of the year We'll have to wait
and see.
This is the log*. Pretty isn’t it? Yes very
pretty i Anct no, I'm not running ouf of
things to write about’
difficulty levels as well as cup races and the
aforementioned championship,
You will be able to race around a series of
themed tracks including water world, radioac-
tive world, normal roads, and space tracks
where you have to stay on the track,
presumably because you're in orbit.
As with Marla Kart, there J s a battle mode
where you chase your opponent around □
track, with the idea of smashing him up - rather
than completing laps. It’s pretty similar to the
Mario Kart version whereby three balloons are
attached to your kart and you must pop your
opponents balloons. As it proudly states on the
in-game instructions, 'It's Mario Kart - only not
as cuteh Too right mate.
The characters you can choose from are
pretty sketchy at the moment, although from
what I can make out there is a funny bloke, a
kid. a monster, a policeman, a woman, a cool
guy. a Chinese man, and a green monster. They
may change - hopefully, they will.
Hopefully, there will be full race replays so
you can watch where you went wrong and
why, and thankfully. Extreme Racing will be HD
Installable,
Final word
Super Mario Kart, was and always will be, one of
the finest racing games on any format - ever, If
Extreme Racing can be half as good, then It
looks like Guildhall Leisure and Black Magic are
going to be riding high in the charts again, so
soon after their success of Fears and Gloom. All
you have to do is wait for the full review, which
should be next month - space allowing.
As for the actual game itself, i played it on a
A 1 200 with a Blizzard 1220 and it was very
impressive, especially when altering same
detail and playing around with the frames per
second.

Frank Nord continues
his beginners
series with a look
at Workbench's
menus
Would you
like to see
the menu?
S O, no-one got any problem* formatting
disk*? Good. This month I thought we
would cover the menu syslem that
AmigoDOS uses an Workbench. In my
opinion Workbench's menus are the best of the bur
rroi^i operating systems lhat most pecole are bmiliar
wilh. The Mac's mouse only has one burton so you
have to dick at the lop c" the screen to get menus to
appear,, and the litles are there all the lime, taking
up space that could be used br something else,
Although Windows supports three button mice,
most applications si I use the left mouse button to do
everything, like the Mac. Menu tides are a iso on con-
stant di-splay and hove 1o be clicked on so appear,
The menus in Windows are even worse when ir
comes to keyboard shortcuts Be ih the Mae and the
Amigo use Fairly standard keys for commonplace
operations, tike Amiqa-Q Far qgil, white Windows
uses the really obvious shortcut Al«-F4 Pa exit an
application.
The Atari ST's operating system is based around
GEM, one of the first GUI systems, and is pretty poor
compared to the others. To gel at menus on an ST,
oil you have to do is move your mouse up to the top
of the screen Bd this can be a source of annoyance
as you pop menus open unintentionally and slow
down your work.
But where the Amigo really scores is in its unique
ability to select more than one menu item m a single

When you doulife -click on on icon if opens a win-
dow in the normal fashion, but you con impress
people with the speed of your mot bine by opening
a load of windows and then clicking them to the
bock of the morn Workbench window. Then, when
you double-click on a drive icon whose window
you already hove open, the window will pop to the
front of the Workbench window instantly, making
it look as though you have a super fast hard drive.
If yoi,‘ wont to get rid of the backdrop window
on o permanent basis, you should turn on the
backdrop item and then, making sure you have
no windows selected on Workbench, use the
"snapshot window' item in the Window menu.
You con type a shell command into the text gadget
that appears and any results will appear in a text
window. You can use this menu item to open o
shell window by typing * new shell' into the text

simplicity itself
Try il For yourself by fd lowing the example I jusi
used Open a window thai usually contains files
without icon* like the RAM disk,, for example. Now
hold down the right mouse button os usua' to access
the Window menu, but instead of just lehing go efrt
when you are over the right Option, click the lef*
mouse button once instead. Click the left mouse but

ton when yog ore on the ' select contents' menu item

cate that they have been selected You cor* now
select more ihan one op I ion at once, rother than
selecting one, wailing For the operation to occur,
going back to the menu, wailing, going bock to he

So let's hove a good look ot the menus provided
by Workbench and check out whai options they pro-

some menu options are 'ghosted' - the lex! looks
funny. This is a visual indication of o menu item thal
cannot be used at the present lime. For m stance, I

of the Amiga's
program scatter
oading routines
Scatte

o
ver ihe next few issues I am going to be
taking a look as The routines hhah ore used
ta load and fun Amiga programs. The
i starting pdnl For these chsC-USStaflJ ore
+e F les used 1o store an executable program on disk,
in office words tHe so-called AmigaDOS 'Load Files'.
A load file consists of o number of units known as
k-nki' which, amongst of her things, contain program
code, static data such os graphics and text, and
details of any uninitialised space needed by the pro-
gram. When a user runs such a program, either From
rte- Workbench af by typing its name at a Shell win-
dow, on AmigoDOS loading routine is brought into
action,
Tk§ First thing that happens is that o header block
■S read and the space for a hunk tabto, used during
+0 loading operations, is allocated Immediately after
if, 5 , appropriate amounts of memory For the vgnous
code, data and bss [uninitialised space; hunks pre-
sent in ihe load file are allocated, with the hunk con-
ients being r&ad Into the acquired memory blacks.
Beccj'e separate memory allocations fat ihe various
hunks are made, the hgrvk information basically just
gels loaded into any suitable memory area that is
Bvailohia (with the leading routine performing any
sbsdtite address relocation calculations and -crealing
f f segment cade links thot rray be required!
Program segments produced in this way one linked
icgethar using on arrangement know os o 'seglist'
md he original DOS rouime For scatter loading o
pregram into memory. LaadSeglJ, For example will
Create just such a tist, and return a pointer ta it, if the
lead is successful, At some stage, of course, any pro-
gram loaded by ihis routine will need ta be removed
fam memory and the rouime used to perform this
spamhcfl is colled UnLoadSegl],

The result which comes back in dO should , of course, be checked for errors and often
a ran vert lent w ay of doing this will be to store the pointer in memory and test the

Having got the seglist equivalent of a load file safely into memory, the DOS library
provides routines, including one called Create ProcfJ, which shows file code to be
brought to life os a separate process. There are, however, either uses for the loading
routines - you con, for example , pass files containing just image data structures
through the conventional assemble/link stages, producing graphics data that can be
scoffer loaded . When if comes to using functions like Intuition's Drawtmcge{} and so
on you do, however, need to be able to locate the storf of the real data within each
segment*
individual segments which make up a seglist ore tied together by means of point-
ers fBCPl pointers] with a NUtL value signifying the end of the seglist chain. If we
then rake the starting BPTfl seglist pointer provided by a routine such os LoodSegfh
left shift it by two bit positions and add 4, we end with on address that is the start of
the real segment information. Here's a typical piece of example code far scatter
loading a load file into memory and locating the entry point of the first segment'
preserve BCPL pointer fur ynLonding
*1 p&tnu to futrr point
As for as tile loading and seglist creation is concerned that's basically it - the
AmrgoDOS routines take care of all the difficult stuff. The next thing to do if take a
look at how seglists con be used and, needless to soy, this part of the story comes
next month.

AmigoDOS has its roots in an operating
system called Tripos , much of which was
written in a language colled BCPL
Amiga coders in general do not hove to
worry about BCP1 except for the fact
that it uses a form of tong word address-
ing based on the normal 680xQ-styie
memory addresses divided by four* If,
therefore, an Amiga DOS function is Spec-
ified as returning a SPTP, i.e. a BCPL
type pointer, you have ta multiply that
address by four be fore using it*
If an AmigaDOS function returns a
BPTfl. then any equivalent deallocation
function will also expect a BPTfl as welt
This being so, it's usually best to store
these pointers in BCPL form and then
convert them fust before use like fhisi

Paul Overaa explains
how ARexx's
de-bugging facilities
can be used to
errors in scripts
ebuaging and testing can be arve af ihe
mosi Nme-consuming stages of any soft-
ware development, end AR,es.x .scripts
ore, of course, no exception to this. The
of proper structured design techniques, modular
ragromm ng, top down oevelopmenl and so on
ps, but it will nol eliminate all the problems. No
Iter how conscientious a programmer you are,
me mistakes are bound to be mode
Sometimes problems will be due to simple syntax
errors coursed by, say, a basic misunderstanding of
w a stotemgnl should he written, or □ dyslexic
lip at the keyboard - tn advertently writing Uo pred-
en you meant Upperfl for example. Or wriling 0
mi-colon when you meant to write o colon
ause you didn't hit the shift key ot the right time.
Such mistakes ore usually considered harmless
a use ihey ore easily Found and therefore easily
rected
ARexx is very good in this resped and not
ly wtll i« identify most errors but you can be tairly
ure that any ARexx program which gels io a
ru noble stage ii going to be nigh on ICO per cent
tactically correct.
If, whilsl developing a script, you get past the
rd syntax error slage and your program seems
b run in some Fashion, then often you wi I be home
erd dry. Occasionally, however, ihirtgs will go
ng - o program may run io a point and ihen for
no obvious reason may just fail to behave as
pected- It's at this stage thal we enter the rea?m
ol debugeing proper and ore of the most importonl
s available to the modern programmer is easily
ble trace facilities.
ARexx supports two bo sic modes of tracing:
stfy r there is the normal or 'nan-interactive' Iraq-
g mode which simply allows trace information Io
fce viewea Secondly, there is on ' ntenactive' mode
which allows the programmer ta step through Ihe
ccogram and interact with il os the iroce proceeds
(via stdin or sterr if availoble| II is possib H la look
al the contents of variables, re-execuie douses, and
even type in instructions which are subsequently
^.ecuted as though ihey were a par) of ihe
urogram itself.
ALL
Traces off clauses as they ore executed.
BACKGROUND
This mode is the some as OFF except for the fact that the TS
support program con not override it.
COMMANDS
■
All command clauses ore traced before being sent fo the external
hash Any non* sera return codes ore also displayed.
ERRORS
Commands which result in a non -zero error code ore traced.
INTERMEDIATES
Clouses and all intermediate results of expression evaluation are
traced (including values ofvoriab/es, the results of function calls
and expansion of compound names,
LABELS
Traces labels reached either in sequence or via flow control
statements .
NORMAL
Default tracing mode. Similar to the ERRORS made except that an
error ceiling value (set using the OPTIONS F A FLAT instruction
form) is used to determine whether or not an error trace should
be generated.
Off
Tracing is turned off by this option although this situation can be
overridden by ARexx's T5 program.
RESULTS
Traces the results of every expression that is evaluated.
SCAN
Similar to All but it is a parse-only scan so the program does not
actually get executed,
Table |j Option s avallabl* with TRACf instwclipn
The
TRACE INSTRUCTION
An AR«*x tracing
conaete window in
action.
wmm
The syntax of this instruction takes the
general form...
TRACE [symbol | ttringS I [[VAlUEf expression])
which means that three basic forms of
the instruction exist , namelyt
TRACE symbol
TRACE string!
TRACE [VALUE] expression
where the symbol,, string or expression
must either represent (or reduce to) a
positive or negative integer, or be one of
the options for a single letter abbrevia-
tion] shown in tab/e I. Negative numeric
values, incidentoWy, indicate o ' suppres-
sion count', which turns ARexx’s tracing
off for a given number of clauses. A pos-
itive value given during interactive trac*
ing indicates that a number af interactive
pauses for input' are to be skipped
over.
7he trace output itself can be sent to
one of three places; Directly bock fo std*
out [which for programs hunched from
a CU/SheH console is the Cll/Shell win-
dow itself]; to a file associated with a
standard error (stderr} file handle (this
can af course be another console win-
dow); or io ARexx's Global Tracing
Console (a special console which con be
opened using the KO utility program}.
Before deciding where trace in forma*
tian should be sent, ARexx checks for
the existence of on stderr file handle. If
you have opened a window or file tied
to this fife handle, or have opened the
Global fracing Console fwhieh is auto*
mafic oily attached ta stdetr} f then ARexx
will send its information to this destina-
tion, otherwise it will send its output
through the standard output channel
fsfdouf). The benefit of having trace
information sent through a separate
channel is simple - it avoids having
trace output and normal program output
intermixed at the same window.
Of course , what we need now is a few
examples of these facilities in action to
drive home the ideas, Needless to say
this is exactly wbof's coming in the next
issue!

eil Mohr thinks

I amazes me sometimes the gap that can
appear between reality and ihe fevered
overblown prolongs of some computer jouroof-
iste. tf you were lo believe everything you were
i listen 1 o, we should a I be ivir-g in this amazing
te called Cyberspace,, zooming al break neck
peed down Magical y raytraced lunnels, and
fd b za^re abstract worlds - all presented with
hes that wouh she me tap-of-the-range Silicon
ahic moch'fltes Not Ihot you would hove time to
and admire such □ drool-inducing scene os you
: d be having cyber sex with hundreds of luscious,
psiiing ready and waiting sex vixens, from all
neri of the globe,
Sounds good to me - i cannot wait 10 gel o slice

~wn lo Earth Lei's Face it, you're lucky if you can
rhe NetScape page in under five seconds, bul ii
ms I ha I many people, when talking about the
terror, live in this possibly hallucinogenically-
ced fantasy future,
Ihe icing on the cake came when wenching o eer-
3s r« British computer aame$ show, and one guy
red the words: "II ]usl download this movie" and
th, o QuickTime mav,e of Drudge Dirad i n slar-H y
appears. Aoart from sending me into fits of laughteT
and swearing profusely ihis. sad of misleading action
is exactly what is going lo drive people away ham
(.sing be Internet.
When actually asked how long it would take la
’•load rhai movie, ihe foumaiist admitted t could
lake quarter of an horn for leased line users, and at
teesi 45 minutes for normal home users. So what he
was showing you woi not a true representation of
what you would look ot on the Web.
All right I hear you cry, I have jgsl spent the last
couole of paragraphs slagging off the Internet, so
what good i s it?
You want to find out ihe laiesl an the Galileo
probe. When it was opprocching Jupiier, NASA
had up-tolhe minute position data of exactly when rt
wou d reach the Jovian atmosphere. Have you seen
the PAWS portable Amiga? Why nol check it out at
Bhftersoft's new Web page.
This is who I makes the Internet so useful - infor-
mation. A great example of this was when I was try-
ing to find anything said by Amiga Technologies ot
the Toaster Expo. My first port of col' was the
Amiga IRC channel From here you can talk to any*
one around the world in red time. Having found out
fhai the Power Amiga would be using the MPC6Q4,
i thought it may be useful to find something out
about it. Fire up your Web browser, go ro any one
at the ava lable search engines - Lycos being my
choice - and you quickly end up wilh a good seiec
lion of links lo IBM and Motorola's Web pages
The Internet and all the related services it pro-
vides are a great resource, and perhaps in the
futvre some of the things will come to pass Silicon
graphics have produced a virtual web language
which allows you to explore o three dimensional
Space Over the Internet I think many people may
need lo take o reolity check because it is fine for us
with leased lines and Free phone calls, but the pub-
lic, the people who will moke or break ihis thing, do
not have these.
iBrowse available
Wtelf a demo at least The much awartedf and forced
about Web browser, IBrowse, has finally hit rite
Streets. The fin a I program wifi be a commercial prod*
ucf so only on early cur-down alpha version is avail-
able for you to test for 28 days. Point AMosaic ot
http://www.otnnipresence.com/ibrowse/ for oil rfie
test iBrowse information , and die lafesf demo.
Even though iBrowse has token a bit of a b eating
on IRC my early impressions are very encouraging.
Allowing multiple network connections, iBrowse con
asynchronously load graphics for the current Web
page. Even this cut-down version that only allows o
maximum four, network connections rj downloading
pages as fast os NetScape r and the final version
allows up to ten connections. Along with a
large improvement in windows scrolling ond the fact it
does not lock up when downloading information,
iBrowse is set to be the premier Amigo Web browser.
But hong on, what is this I hear about Amiga
Technologies talking to NetScape? This could get
interesting.

products to a skeptical, but targeted, audience
As aver, price is of par a mount performance

colour or a bolder typeface The third example,
single ilem ads, are ihe ones with ihe most Design
paten rial You con do p radically anything and
sometimes this Freedom can be disconcerting. The
most important thing is la avoid the boxy’ look
that a bt of adverts produced on ihi Amiga
achieve effortlessly. If you are only advertising
one product, you can afford to spend the time
and effort in order to moke your ad look a bil spe-
cial. Beware of using tea many colours or type-
styles. I know ji ha? been said before, but if n a
basic rule of layout lhat you shouldn't make yaur
design too busy.
There are ads in Amiga Computing (I won'!
me nil an any names| that are incredibly hard to
garner any infor motion from because they have
colours running riot over the layout and text that is
loo hard to read. This is not the approach to take.
First of a* I, sil back with a Cup of lea or a whisky
ord plan oul your page |or spread} on o piece of
paper, just sketching in where you want things to
go. Make a list of items lhal you want on ihe
page, phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses,
price inform all on, delivery details and so on. II
you lake cred t cards, Find ihe relevant images for
those you accept ond if you can't find any, try the
magazine your od will appear in - ihey wdl
almost certomly have same. Of course, if you are
producing the magazine your ad will appear in,
then you'll just have to draw some for yourself in
DPaint or, preferably, ProDtaw
Bear in mind the d.fferences between mono ond
colour artwork if you are producing on ad lhat will
appear in someone else s magazine, and make
sure you speak ta (he magazine's aTt department
" in advance about deadlines if you propose to
we
send them an Amiga DTP file for output Most mag-
azines hove never heard of ProPoge Dr
PageSfcnwm, so will be suspicious of taking on a File
From one of these packages. The problems continue
for the Amiga DTP'tr os neither ProPage nor
Page-Slreom produce files that are even remotely
compatible with QuarkXPress or PageMaker.
Probably yaur best bet if you are dealing with a
large magazine is lo by out yaur ad as you want
it and then send the piclures, logos, elc. ta the
magazine obng with a printout |preferobly m
colour] of your ad far the crl department fa work
from and lay aut in the DTP package of their
choice.
Well conlinue with some of the themes that can
be used br you* adverts next month and go into

parttcuiatly interested fn graphic effects, but timing and more mundane fasfc are
acceptable. Perhaps there if an inf erf a re problem you can solve with these flogs?
JLaafc Info it. I if foot at fhe best in a month or two, in the meantime I'll see you
next month for another arcade game routine which you'll find handy when you
design your own version of an arcade classic.

example:

Thai's simple enough. Sense th-e joystick, make o
bang |m lh-s cose d nice sample], then move the
sprite two pixels at a lime From the barrel la the
edge ol the screen in a straight line. If il gets 100
pixels away from rhe ship wirhout hitting something
it gets turned off. fiuf this rawline suffers from
buzzing and no bullets. The belter way of doing i!

In this version,, when the button is pressed rhe flag
M-S-SFLAG is set from 0 to f . In the next line the mis-
sive is moved onfy if MlSSFLAG is slid 1. Until ?he miir
sile moves TOO pixels away from !he barrel, the flag Is
slill set, so the Fire button is dead. You anly fire one
shell. When Ihe first missile vanishes fyou could
explode it, but in this case if just vanishes), yds? con
then shoal another. Obviously, you couia vary the jim-
mg so that yaw can add a multiple shot, perhaps, or
make it a second (or 50/5Olhs of a secolvd] or even
haH a second between shots, enabling she player re
get his finger off the button.
This is an exiremely useful technique and one
which answers a lot of those questions you ask, like
"how da you do lhal?" Nine times out of ten the
answer is either flags, subroutines or vectors. A sde
oenefh oF using Flags n your Amos programming is
that these techniques are used guile a lot in the worlds
oF € and assembly programming. So os ond when
you move on to those languages, as you might in the
course of lime, you will be prepared for at least one
coo! trick.
Write stuff
If you have any other Amos programs or
queries oboerf Amos, please write to the
usual address , which is; Phil South, Amos
tofunin. Amigo Computing, Medio House.
Adlingfan Park , Macclesfield SKJO 4NP.
Please send routines on an Amiga disk
with notes on how the program works
on paper, not as text files on fhe disk.
Make the routines short enough to
appear in print, i.e, no more than about
30’4O fines of code and, if possible ,
moice them use no external graphic;, or
if they can't be used without them then
be sore fo provide them on the disk in
native IFF format, and the same goes for
sound fifes . Follow these guidelines and
you'll be sure of making me a happy
man if nothing else.

Paul Overaa looks
behind the scenes
lat a new Amiga
Imusic project with
la difference
anHOHOi
miga users, are soon gqiqg to be intro-
duced, milially via mail order advertise-
ments,, to a company called Tongeni
Music Design ai>d a compact disc jond
n cassette] album colied Everybody's Girlfriend.
Whai has this to da with ihq Amigo mus>c scene?
Quiie a lot - you see the three parings of Tangent
.Music are none other than Edward Fermor, Richard
rox,,, and David Pleasarvce who, as you'll oil
j doubtless knew, was Managing Director ql
■ Commodore Business Machines UK unlil Escom
■ GmBH purchased the worldwide assets of rhe
■ Commodore group and the UK branch hod to
■ dose
Whql you probably will not know is that David
1 feasance is also o musician, a guitarist in fact,
■ with a particular passion for Flamenco. He's hod
I iis own Flamenco dance compony, has studied gui-
\ tor in Spain, and has appeared in concert, cabaret
ond on TV, supporting people ike John Fornhom
and Gallagher ond Lyle
Amiga is actually Spanish for girlfriend and the
Everybody's Girlfriend albu m is then essentially a
celebration in muse of fen years of the Amiga, wilh
the 14 tracks being inspired by the Amigo, recor-
■ ded using Amigos, and written and produced by
people who know the Amiga.
Thu first album provides o chance !o hear some-
thing of the musical lolenli of Dov d Pieasance.
Everybody's Girlfriend was in, Foci David's brain-
child. with the initial planning af the project begin-
ning around November of 1994. Recording, which
did not storl unlil September of last year, has been
carried ogl using Amigos running the Slue Ribbon
Soundworks Bars & Pipes sequencer, and the
Sunrise Studio 16 B-lrack, lb-bit dig ileal recording
The sound
of music?
system. When il comes to professional recording,
however, not even Amigas can work in tala! isola-
tion and, needless fo say. Tangent's 32 charnel,
24-froek dig ifa ' recording studio also has its Fair
share qf other hi-tech equipment scattered around.
There's o SoundcrqFi DC2Q0Q fully automated
desk, ond two lascam BASE recorders which link
to ihe Amiga-based Sunrise Studio 16 System
Everything gets mastered to a Tqscam
DA30 MKII CAT which can then be
recorded to o Morantz DDB2 DtC, a
Sony TCK6I15, ond so Phillips record-
able CD [which is linked incidentally to
on Amiga SOOQTj if you also add ihe
massive as40fimeni of outboard effects,
sound modules anti samplers, including
o Roland JV1 080. Roland S760 and a
Korg Wavestqtiqn SR, Genelec monitors
in the conlrol room, Spirit Absolute 2s in
the studio and so on, then it's hardly sur-
prising that things sound good.
There is, incidentally,
also a small
satellite studio available wh ch p ndudes on Anr.iga
4000/0 30 running Bars & Pipes where many of the
ideas for the new Tangent Music oSbum started life.
This in ilself should be al interest hecause this loiter
type of setup u typicol of that which can be found
ip the home studios of many
Amiga-based musicians.

The former boct
of Coninseifere UK
turns his hand lo
fltlA (HUlfc mdfuilt ry
I've been one of the few reviewers lucky
enough fo get a sneak preview of the tracks op
the Everybody's Girlfriend album, it's quite an
impressive mixed bog with the music and
lyri cs for all except four of the tracks
being atfrrbufed fo o bond colled 'Passion',
who torn out fo be Tangent's id Fermor and
Richard Knox, both of whom are established
session ploye rs« Ed alio has lots of TV and
video work under his belt ond in 1993, for
instance, accompanied the renowned deaf pe r-
cussiomst Evelyn Glennie on a world tour *
Richard, a singer /songwriter /keyboard player >
has played and recorded both in the UK and
the States and. os well as various TV appear*
antes, also has a number of film credits to his
name.
ffrrhard Ifnojc does a good job with the main
vocals on half a dozen of the trades, although
there ii a particularly good raunchy number
called * lay You Down' which features P J
Philips and Angie Brown on vocals , You'll also
find on interesting raw blues track, and a few
instrumentals including an excellent David
Pleas once Homeric o track Para Mi Amiga
(Homage to Jay Miner!', You might like to
know , incidentally, that David's personal
favourites from the album are the pap song
Don't Let hie Foil, the love song called Roses ,
and on instrumental track. Infinity!
I should think that the fact that David
Pleasortte is both executive producer on the
Everybody's Girlfriend album, and one of the
musicians, is going to be enough in Itself fo
moke this offering a bit of a collectors' item
amongst Amigo owners* When you add to this
the fact that the album will show you exactly
what con be done music -wise with an Amiga
sequencer,- I suspect Tangent Music ore going
to be onto a sure-fire winner with this new
project!

S o Far we have studied the basic princi-
ples of picture design, backdrops and
spec i a effects. This month, end For ihe
■I next Few issues, we will be looking at
animation principles and specific techniques
applicable to animation
Obviously, drawing jingle images is a lot less
painless lhan creating an ammation but most
reputable art packages include a plethora of dif-
ferent Functions lhal make animation on a compvt-
Hf a hell o : a lot easier, and quicker, than that an
diaper. Unfortunately, understanding the rech
niques can lake a while and even then, applying
them correctly can prove a recurring nightmare
So for simplicity's sake, I won't be gorng into the
N‘h dimension la explain these functions but will
jrovide simple techniques wilh resells so that you
igve a head siaM For your own experimentation
Just as with a jingle image, it is vitally impor-
tant that you put your animation down on paper
irst in (he form of storyboards. btoryboords ore
small roughs of the key elements, scenes and
camera angles within on animation. You don't
need to draw in detail, just enough so that you
personally understand whot it is you're planning
ond how it works.
Rendering options
The next thing to do is work oui whot animated
effects are included ond the best options for ren
de-ring (drawing) ihem, To pinpoint certain
aspects I will be referring to the animation shown
here in the screenshots. The techniques explained
can be employed in many different ways and
with any animation, not just the one I have
supplied
At the computer, the First Ihing to do is to design
oil the objects lhal will make up your completed
anim (short for animation], Although it is more
appealing to acluolty design as you go, I can guar-
antee yOu'li eventually wish you hadn't. Graale a I
rhe objects and sove ihem independently with
suitable filenames, Ff you end up with a lot of
objects and they're non properly labelled, you
end up wasting precious time and freaking oui
regularly, With the boring bits out aF the way you
con rhen simply dick all the pieces together and

and flexibility
When looming objects in ypulf quitkiy realise that the pixels
that make vp Ihe oh/ecl furn 'blacky' as they ore magnified.
There is a way around this which entails drawing the original
object at its largest she. You can ffreri set fhe animation posi-
tion to the last frame in the room and tender the brush zoom-
ing out, but with the animation running hoc k wards and with
a positive value in the fnd i position.

Move Functions They allow you to set the initial
start position of the bush, ihe end position, as well
as any rotations you worn la occur throughout ihe
procedure. There are three important values For
both position and rotalion and ihese are labelled x,
y and i The x ond y are ihe easiest to explain and
understand. Wilh x you can move your brush in ihe
horizontal (left and right] and y allows you to move
the brush in rhe vertical (ue and down), If you ore
moving clouds or a ship you would use the x pas-
bon, ond to move a lift or □ helcopte' you would
use y,
Z is o different matter altogether If you can
imagine a line travelling stto-ghf through the centre
of your screen, you will have discovered ihe i axis
When you realise ihot z moves brushes
closer ond briber away it is easier lo visualise this
imaginary line. The position of a brush has two
uses - for moving abjeds or For camera pans, If
you move a car off screen From a standstill then ii
will be dearly obvious that the object has 'lie!’

every angle while the brush is being moved through

Gary Whiteley offers
some helpful
advice for
would-be Amiga
DTV'ers
Titling for
beginners
iace I've given you ail ibai Font informa-
lion over the Iasi few months, and hinled
at some of the wdyS you can gse Fonts for
■■■ video filling, I ihought is might be a good
dea to go over ihe- basics of video titling hard-
wire, whot you need, how it's connected together
and whet you mighl achieve with a basic setup
1 1 keep it as simple as possible for ihose of you
witti the yearning, but not yet the knowledge, tc
add graphics and titles lo your own videos, such
■li holiday films, weddings and Family events.
If you hove an Amigo with ils own colour video
eu'pui (such os the Amiga 1200) then you already
have a machine with which you can do simple
■tlipg and graphics to video You probably realise
that you can use either ihe RF or video outputs lo
display your Amigo programs on □ suitable TV,
bul did you know thoi you con also use them to
record ihe ouiput from your Amigo to video 1 ? The
simplest way is to connect ihe A 1 200's RF outpui
lo the aerial input o-n your VCR, ond ihen monitor
it via your TV in the usual way whilst you record
cr prepare graphics, though ihe picture quality
won't be marvellous.
Crossovers
Add another VCR in place oF the Amiga and you
con copy sections of your production across end
make an edit From your original video footage,
cutting out oil the worst ports. If you want to odd a
tills or graphic simply reconnect the Amigo to the
| record VCR (the one you're editing onto), use your
I Favourite paint or titling software lo make your
I graphics, and then retard them The quality of the
I edits ycHf'lt gel with such o system will be rather
| hit and miss, since there's no way to control the
accuracy of the cuts, so ’glitches' are likely to
■occur, bui For almost na outlay (provided you can
gel your hands on two VCRs, one of which could
I
SINGLE' CONNECTION
-
In fldfdrfbrt to its overlay functions, the advantage of using a
genlock is that you don't have to keep reconnecting squip-
merit, since ft con output either Amigo graphics, incoming
video, or a combination of bath, jo if you fust want to edit
picture only simply switch the genlock's output to Video
.
However, a genlock stiff won't cure gf itchy edits, since it
^eesn't affect the way that two funsynchronisedi VCRs refute
to each other whilst editing, in fo<t r without a proper editing
system which synchronises the two VCRs, you s houldn t
expect either split second accuracy or perfectly clean edits.
Remember that you're working on the cheap, so hear this in
before you get depressed wondering why your £1000
cob b Jed- together video edit suite can't compare to- a £ J 0000
Pro 5VHS or £30000+ BetoCom system.
Two taai’t systems for wnlgr yldma ItlJIng and graphics
be a camcofder| and a TV or Iwo (a second TV ts
useful For cueing up the playback VCR, though not
lofoily essential | you can at least experiment wnh
video titling from your Amigo.
Incidentally, if your VCR has a composite video
input in addition ta Ihe standard RF you'd be bet-
ter advised ta use ii iF possible, since ihe quality
will be belter than Rf. If your video has a SCART
connector you can always buy a svi table sel cl
leads to conned from the A1 200's phono video
ouiput to your VCR's SCART socket.
Owners of mast Other Ami gas won'l have ii so
easy Inexplicably, for such. a DTV-Friendly
machine, most oF the other Amigos in circulation
don'l 'have on RF or colour video ouiput, so you’ll
have to add one in ihe Form of either a modulatar,
genlock or encoder card, depending on your
needs, your budget and Ihe type of Amiga you
have.
Each of these devices connects to the Amiga's
RGB port and convert the Amiga's n alive RGB
signal lo one Of more Forms oF video signal,
hr instance RF, composite video, or SVHS.
Genlocks allow computer graphics to be
'keyed' over background video, enabling text or
graphics to be superimposed directly on top of
video pictures In simple terms, ihis means that
wherever ihe background colour (palette Colour
0] occurs, the video image will show through
behind ihe graphics, though some genlocks permit
Other colours lo be used as iheir background key
colour.
Modulators and encoders simply convert RGS lo
video and connoi usually provide any superimposi-
lion or other genlock Functions. They are usually
used to take the Amiga's display lo a TV or moni-
tor., or to provide a video signal for recording
on d/or further manipulation Note that an encoder
will generally provide o higher quality output than
o modulator, since they are buill with video in
mind, roiher Ihon TV display.
IF you hqdn'1 already realised rl, you II also
need two VCRs if you wani to use o genlock. One
VCR provides playback for ihe source video, which
in turn is needed ta 'genlock' |in olher wards, syn-
chronise] the Amiga’s display liming to tha? of the
incoming video signal, while the second VCR is
necessary to record Ihe composited graphics and
source video from the genlock's ovtpui
