Bidding Far their rights 



WITH all the high profile chest beating of product 
saden companies al the ECTS this month, it came 
as something of a pleasant surprise 10 be ushered 
into an exclusive hotel room on the first floor of the 
Holiday Inn, London tor a low-key press 
conference. 

The meeting was to discuss the future of the 
Amiga and the validity of Commodore UK's bid. 

Present, along with a host of journalists, were trie 
two key figures at Commodore UK, David 
Pleasance and Colin Proudfoot, ready to answer 
and explain a few burning issues thai have been 
taking up so much space in recent news articles: 
whal is happening with Commodore? 

According to Pleasance, the UK team are still 
highly confident of a positive outcome for their bid. 
"Over the weekend, the final bid has been pulled 
together - it'll be on the Bahamian liquidators' desk 
by tomorrow morning (5th September)." 

CONCLUSION 

The decision makers have been given ten work- 
ing days to draw a conclusion to ihe lengthy pro- 
ceedings concerning Commodore UK's bid. If suc- 
cessful, (he team will end up owning (he rights to 
past, present and research and development ptans 
for the Mure. 

Despite (he apparent organisation and efficiency 
of the UK bid, the process has been beset by prob- 
lems in recenl weeks. 

The main setback has been the major inventors 
ol components being held at a factory in the 
Phiflipines. 

Vital lo any mass production in the 
future. Commodore UK has been told by the courts 
that the stock cannot be touched until after 
Chnsimas. 

What this means, m the short lerm,, is that if suc- 
cessful,, there will be a stock shortage of 1200s and 
CD32s come Christmas, no matter what happens. 
The only good news is that 40QCs will be in ample 
supply. 

David Pleasance is ready to accept that the stock 
will be "less lhan originally expected. We can't sell 
hundreds of thousands of units because we can't 
make them." 

As far as competition goes, Samsung and two 
Stales-based companies are the only apparent con- 
tenders in the financial boxing ring at Ihe moment. 

The Japanese giant has already made It all too 



clear that It has no interest in Injecting new life into 

Commodore but simply wants new technology to 
use in other areas. 
Pleasance is well aware thai another company 

could step in al the last minute but is prepared lor 
that occurrence. The lack of competitors may sug- 
gest a lack of interest in Commodore, but Pleasance 
believes that it is something else: There is a stigma 
round Commodore's performance (in the past) - if 
has frightened people away," 

If the UK bidders labours do not pay off, a fulure 
strategy has already been drawn op to polish the 
lamished image of the once great company. 

NAMING 

First will be a name change. Computer Trade 
Weekly, the industry's newspaper has reported that 
the new company will be called Amiga International. 

From Ihere, the short term plan is to "concentrate 
on the core business, sell current products and con- 
tinue the employment of some people." 

The next stage will involve discussions with dis- 
tributors to draw up forecasts for the next 12 
months. Bearing the results in mind, a marketing 
plan can be produced lo maximise the company's 
resources. 

Apparently, the team is not interested "in a quick 
killing at Christmas" bul instead want to cut back on 
all major subsidiaries and "grow organically' in Ihe 




David PPea*ane*."~ T"h* tinat bid ham bean pulled together... 
wa wmt to convmntrmta wi tha corn bu«;™i.i, »ll currenl 
products and eenrlnu* tha employment ol memo paoplo" 



words of Proudfoof. As for the future, plans are 
already in place, ready to begin if ihe bid goes 
through. The employment of new staff is of para- 
mount importance. "There are currently 17 
research and development engineers still on staff 
but we want to move thai up lo the 60 mark' com- 
mented Proudlool. 

"We also want fo establish 22 people to aid the 
246 software publishers in whatever they do." 

The CD32 was met with, it seemed, less enthu- 
siasm lhan in the pasl. With the oncoming wave 
of next generation consoles snapping at ihe 
small but well formed heels of Commodore's CD- 
ROM machine, Pleasance said: "the CD32 
is in lairly good shape" and that competition 
such as Sony "doss have a future in Ihe market 
place." 

According to the managing direct or. there will 
be 200 titles available for the CD32 come 
Christmas. We'll wait and see, 

Probably the biggest news were the plans for 
future technology, The much speculated and often 
discussed AAA chipset has been dropped and 
replaced with designs for a RISC-based system. 

One Df the principal reasons lor the switch is the 
lack of an operating system for the new defunct 
chipset - it would simply take loo long to develop 
one. 

DEVELOPMENT 

The new machine will go into development 
straight away if the bid is accepted. Pleasance 
estimates the development systems will be ready 
in six months for the community to begin work on 
software and a further 12 months for it to hit the 
retail shelves.. 

There are also plans lo produce a high-end 
work station "that'll be £0-30 limes fasier lhan a 
4000." The managing director is adamant though 
that the Amiga should be "a multimedia platform - 
and not just for games," 

Despite concerns over the potential shortage 
crisis at Christmas, il would seem Commodore UK 
has a definite and well thought out strategy for the 
future of Amiga machines. 

Perhaps as an indication of their confidence, the 
team are already planning the relaunch party lo be 
held on 13 October. Whichever way the bidding 
battle swings, we'll know next month and the wait- 
ing will finally be over.

[rime unit crafts 
down an porn pirates 

Following the recent discovery of pirated CO soft- 
ware valued at £10 million, ELSPA's crime unit 
headed by John Loader has recovered over 200 
CD-ROM discs and writing equipment from two 
addresses in Manchester. 

The software, worth £500,000, has been 
examined by both ELS PA investigators and the 
Greater Manchester Obscene Publications 
Department, "Not only does illegal activity pose 
an enormous threat to the commercial interests 
of the UK's legitimate computer games software 
industry", stated Loader," but it highlights the 
increasing problem of production and distnbution 
of illegal, pornographic software through out the 

UK" 

This month also saw the conviction and impris- 
onment of two counterfeiters, Donald 
George Brown and David Doyle. Brown was 
recently found guilty of four offences relating to 
copyright infringement and was given 
three months in prison. 5,600 disks containing 
copied software and copying equipment were 
uncovered at his premises by police and ELSPA 

officials. 

David Doyle was found to be manufacturing 
counterfeit software and received a six month 
sentence plus a £5000 bill for court costs. 

It you have any information thai should receive 
the attention of the crime unit, phone John 
Loader in confidence on 0356 333610.

ove Over, VistaPro. Make 
room, Scenery Animator. 
There's a new contender 
in the world-rendering ring, and it 
looks like il could pack a knockout 
punch. 

World Construction Set, from 
Qucstar Productions, combines 
traditional 3D rendering technolo- 
gies with a new "natural' ecosys- 
tem modelling technique to pro- 
duce dazzling, realistic landscape 
images. 

Word Construction Set uses a 
Geographic information System 
database to allow it to render much 
larger areas with a greater degree 
of detail than competing programs. 

It uses on-demand object load- 
ing to allow il to render large 
amounts of data without needing 
an incredible amount of memory. 

The company claims that you 
can render the entire US state of 
Colorado in 90-metre square 






"iLt 




m r 


]fy 





World building 



samples, 80 million polygons total, 
in BM6 of RAM. 

Given enough time to render, 
I his system would even allow you 
lo animate a continuous zoom out 
from a single forest clearing to a 
view ol the entire planet. 

WCS will render US Geological 
Service standard GEM files. 
(VistaPro DEM support is planned 
lor a coming update.} 

But WCS does more than just 
creale pretty pictures. It includes a 
layering system and a map module 
that allows you lo place vector 
objects, such a$ political bound- 
aries, roads, buildings, streams, 
and coastlines on your image; you 
can also label images. 

You can even load AutoCAD 
DXF vector objects and place them 
on your image. If you have a 
Summagraphics graphics tablet, it 
can be used with the mapping 
module. 

The algorithmic ecosystem map- 
ping prevents too-regufar-iookmg 
distributions of trees end plants, 
making for a more natural looking 



image, You can choose hetween 
water, bare, rook, conifer, decidu- 
ous, or grass ecosystems. 

Skies and backgrounds can be 
gradients, or you can use animated 
bitmap image backgrounds. 

WCS supports 24 -bit rendering 
at any resolulion and aspect 
ratio up to 32767 x 32767 pixels 
(memory permitting). Fractal recur- 
sion levels can be adjusted to 
speed rendering, and detailed 2D 
trees allow you to create realistic 
vegetation density without taking 
forever to render. 

The program also sports sophis- 
ticated animation features. 
Automatic turn-banking and looka- 
head features, as well as spline 
control of all motion parameters, 
allow you to easily create land- 
scape overflights. 

An interactive 3D wireframe lay- 
out display lets you preview and 
tweak your work; real -lime motion 
previews are supported as well. All 
spline parameters can be edited 
using a timeline motion graph, 

The program is multi-threaded. 




news 



So tfau want to credti 

a place that's perfect A 

hqw needs? Benny Rtkk 

discouers the only contends 



similar to Real 3D, so you can go 
on and do other work while creating 
images or animations. 

The user interface is gorgeous - 
it uses MUI (Magic User Interface), 
which you may have already seen 
used in programs like the AVM 
voice mail syslem. 

The program retails for S250. but 
until October 30 it is available direct 
tram the manufacturer for 5195. 

For more information, contact 
Que star Productions, 1Q5& WCR 
231/2, Brighton, Colorado 80601; 
phone (303) 659-4028. You can 
also e-mail wcsinfo@arcticus, burn- 
er, com. 



HSDC is historq! 

Yes, it's true, there's no more ASDG.. But don"l panic, the 
company hasn't closed, it's just changed its name for the 
better. 

Taking advantage of the success ol its Elastic Reality 
morphing program (a souped-up version ol Morph Plus for 
the PC, Mac, and SGI), ASDG has changed its name to 
Elastic Realily, Inc. Despite the name change and the 
success ol its non-Amiga products, the company has 
pledged lo continue lo support our favourite computer. 



DK8 relocates 

OKB, manufacturer of the MegaChip, Muttlslarl II 
and A4091 SCSI-2 controller, has moved to new 
quarters. Now that the move is over, the company is 
turd at work on Its new Talon graphics card. 

The new address to contact the company is: DKB, 
P.O. Box 433. Wixom, Michigan 48393 The new tech- 
mcjtl support number is . (A 10) 348-3755, and the com- 
pany can now be taxed on (810) 348-3531 . 



Uideo super 
companq 

Some of the most creative forces in desk- 
top video have now joined forces, Digital 
Creations, creators of Brilliance. DCTV, 
and the SuperGen; Progressive Image 
Technology, creator of peripherals for PCs 
and Macs, and Play, formed by a group of 
renegade former NewTek employees, 
have merged into one large company 
which will be known as Play Incorporated. 

The President ol ihe company will be 
former NewTek VP Paul Montgomery, as 
well as Kiki Stockhammer, video-savvy 
spokesperson and dream date of many an 
Amiga nut. Digital Creations' John Borteri 
will serve as CEO. 

Although two-thirds of the new company 
is made up of ex-Am igans, tha initial prod- 
ucts will be for the IBM-compatible 
platform. 



Top tip 



It's not a new product, but it's news from a US company 
thai will be welcome to folks who bought Digits 
Creal ions' Brilliance 2.0 and found that it won 'I work 
properly in a system wilh a Picasso II installed. 

To make il work, you jusl need to add a few Tool 
Types to the program icons, using the Workbench 
Icons/Informal ion menu item. 

For Brilliance, add these tooltypes: 

SCREEN.DEPTH=5 

SCREEN HEIGHT=2QQ 

SCREEN. WIDTH =320 

SC RE E N ,OVE RSC AN=Text 

SCREEN. MODEld=0x0001 1000 

For the 24-bit TrueBrilliance version; 

SCREEN.DEPTH=6 

SCREEN. HE1GHT=2O0

trending shows is part and parcel of 

almost any consumer magazine. As 

you'd expect such gatherings gener- 

iiow the same formal - kiss hands, 

f-.'f cac-res, chsM-up go&sip hassle for 

products and so on. 

MWt this in mind, I packed a bag and hea- 
dad off to Florida to aliended the world's 
biggest computer graphics extravaganza, 
namety Eiggraph 94. Equipped with Ihe siiflesi 
Of strtf upper lips, I battled through glorious 
sunshine and on to Ihe show. 

Alter the ubiquitous trip to Ihe press office, it 
was bme to hit the glands and slip into show 
mode. However, it was at this point that the 
usual format went oul ihe window. Within min- 
jtes I found myself answering rather than ask- 
ng the questions. 

Even the biggest guns on the American 
Amiga scene were desperate for all and any 
news. Jusl prior lo ihe event the Management 
buy-out rumour had hit. Now everyone previ- 
ously secure in the knowledge lhat Samsung, 
Hewlett Packard or Superman would save the 
day were back lo square one. 

Obviously being one of the few limeys in 'the 
attendance f was an obvious target, but unfor- 
tunately I was as much in the- dark as every- 
body else. After explaining as much, the con- 
versation invariably turned lo research and 
development. Would they continue to support 
ihe Amiga? 

Amazingly enough ihe vast majority had no 
hesitation in saying ye$ - providing Ihe new 
>ook Commodore could gel its acl togelher! To 
be honest, I fully expected the vast majority to 
say enough's enough, we're packing up and 
moving qn lo Ihe PC or Macintosh, 

Obviously, even the biggest names wouldn't 
fed il easy (o change direction al ihe drop of 
the hat, but it was the underlying willingness lo 
stay with the machine that took me by sur- 
prise. The will ts there, and so is Ihe demand 
(or machines, but as it stands there's simply no 
more high-end Amigas left lo buy - both home 
and abroad. 

According to gossip,, production ol A.4Q00S 
won't start until November at ihe eartiesl - 
assuming Ihe corporate capers are sorted out. 
And as far as R&D on new machines is con- 
cerned. God only knows. However there is a 
ten glimmer of hope. 

Although there's been no official announce- 
mens, ii appears thai Commodore have dou- 
bled ihe wages of Ihe engineering department 



The R[ team 



H question 

of confidence 




pjyru^ 



Rs time runs out all eyes luoh to turope. Ihe Question is can fllr 
Pleasame la. repair the damage inflicted by months of Indecision 



at West Chesler R8D research facility, no 
doubt in an attempt to keep the remaining staff 
until the long-awaited announcement is made. 

For those waiting lor the mythical A5000 
with its Rise based CPU and Windows NT 
compatibility, I suspect rfs going lo be a long 
wait. However, one of the high points ot the 
show was Ihe first official look at the Raptor II 
and Raptor Plus rendering engines. 

Both units use Rise technology to bring 
workstation performance to the Amiga - in 
particularly lighlwave. 

Each uses Elhemet connection to link direct 
to the Amiga while operating under Windows 
NTasthebasicOS. 

SAVIOUR 

This move towards compatibility between 
formats could well prove the saviour of Ihe 
Amiga as the premier ^ideographic desktop 
platform. Another massive announcement at 
the show was the launch of Lighlwave on both 
PC and SGI formats. 

Although seen as yel another nail in the 
Amiga coffin by some, I feet il can only help 
the cause In Ihe long-term. If NewTek want to 
maintain and develop a loot-hold in bolh the 
PC and SGI markets they'll have to work hard 
in the F&D department - the fruits of which will 
also be applied to the Amiga version. 

OK, the PC market may be massive but it's 
ihe Amiga that dominates the video market. 
quite simply because the PC is useless for 



videography. They don't like, nor understand 

video, and to teach them costs an absolute 
fortune in additional hardware. 

They may be last, but will that really 
inspire videographers lo trade their existing 
Amiga systems, especially when they could 
out render an SGI for a fraction of the price 
by simply adding a Raptor to their existing kiL 

Basically, the only thing lhat will kill the 
Amiga off is Commodore, The willingness lo 
develop and buy the machine is there, All 
they have to do is get in gear before it's too 
late. 

If this farcical situation isn't sorted out soon 
many developers will be forced to look else- 
where, whether they want to or not 

The future of the Amiga hinges on one key 
factor. If the new look Commodore can't get 
Ihe range back in manufacture before 
Christmas it looks very grim. 

Fortunately the likelihood of the 
Commodore bid being accepted seems more 
and more certain. According to a reliable 
source, a manufacturing deal is already in 
place to start production of the entire range in 
mainland China, while R&D will remain al 
West Chester. 

Lets hope the red tape is kepi to a mini- 
mum and ihe announcement made so we 
can ail get back to business.

each of which only lakes 1 -3K. 

These brushes can be seamlessly 
tiled together, allowing entire screens 
to be generated in arty resolution with- 
out making large demands on hard- 
drive space. 



backdrops 



distributors claim that Ihe Pro-fills package 
can generate 34,625 backgrounds at a maxi- 
mum resolution of 10.240 by 10,240. 

Having said this, other packages offer back- 
drops that are more visually impressive. 
However, ihese tend to use up huge chunks 
of memory while at ihe same time costing a 
great deal more. 

The point about Pro-fills by comparison is 
that each backdrop brush takes only a mini- 
mal amount of memory. Furthermore, the pro- 
gram gives an estimation of the memory that a 
new backdrop will use, which is another small 
but well considered touch. 

Of course, the possibilities offered by Pro- 
tills come to life when it is used in conjunction 
with other utilities. Pro-fills is particularly good 
value because you can use it with packages 
like Deluxe-paint, Brilliance and Scata to cre- 
ate customised effects, 

For instance, you can generate your own 
brushes in D-Paini, though you may have to 
adjust your palette - taking care you leave 
enough colours lor your text and logos. 

For people who own presentation soft- 
ware like Scala or MediaPoint. Pr 
tills could make a very useful 
accessory, Purchasers should 
be able lo use the package to 
good elf act for all kinds of 
multimedia and video appli- 
cations. Amkjas are already 
being widely used for rnuHi-

media and presentation purposes, so there 
should be a high level of demand for a pack- 
age that can deliver the goods at a bargain 
price. 

Considering Ihe minimal amount of mem- 
ory required, the range of possibilities are 
surprisingly good. What's more, il makes 
attractrve presentations available to owners 
of Amigas both old and new. 

rffl a humble package that doesn't offer the 
flashy effects available with other, more 
expensive utilities, but il does its job well 
because its makers have been thoughtful in 
its implementation 

Used imaginatively. Pro-fills could be 
invaluable when it comes to presention. 
Mediascape deserve! credit for coming up 
with a modest but capable little package. 
Highly recommended. A>f

Installing utilities 

You should first nun the MakeUtili1iesDisk_1 3 to format 

a blank disk called AC Utilities which will be used to 
store any utilities you eventually install, 

This disk can be used with fulure CoverDisk utilities 
until il becomes full- The MakeUtilitiesDiskl.3 program 
wili be a permanent feature of Ihe CoverDisk. 

To install any utilities, boot your machine with your 
CoverDisk inserted in DFO. Utilities can be installed by 
clicking on their install icon found in the appropriate 
drawer in Ihe WB_1.3_Only drawer, You cannot specify 
their destination and any additions to the Startup- 
Sequence must be done manually, 

When installed the utilities are copied to a drawer 
called ACUtils on the AC Utilities disk.

We have new managed to fix the prob- 
lem with AmigaDOS displaying a disk 
is write protected" requester wh> 
write -enabled disk is inserted Just 
make sure you insert a blank disk 
when the installer programs tell you - 
and not before or alter. 



Installing utilities 

The procedure lor installing utilities ts much 
the same as installing applications, except 
that you can boot from your hard dnve or 
Workbench disk. As utilities don 'l need to be 
de-archived, you are asked to specify a 
directory on your hard drive or Workbench 
disk where you would like to install them. 

If you don't want to install to the default 
directory you can change it by clicking on 
Change Destination. The Show Drives but- 
ton will allow you lo select a new device and 
directory. You can create a new drawer for 
your utility to go in by clicking on Ihe Make 
New Drawer button and typing in the name. 

You can also make a utilities disk by run- 
ning the MakeUlililJesDiskl ,3 program locat- 
ed in the WB .1 ,3_only drawer and installing 
your utilities to here. Al times you may be 
asked if you want lo install a utility's docu- 
mentation, A tick box indicates that the docu- 
mentation is selected for inclusion, but you 
can click on the box to ignore it or simply 
click on the Skip This Part button. 

The utility installer programs can be found 
m the appropriate program drawer in the 
WB_2&3 Only drawer.

grving you plenty of time to make up your 
mind to upgrade. 

Let's take a look at the many features of 
your demonstration version ol Edge 2.0. 
When the program toads you will be pre- 
sented with the main editing window. At Ihe 
ooltom of this window are several impor- 
tant variables - line number, column num- 
ber, I for insert tax! mode or O lor over- 
e typing mode, K if the keypad Is 
active, the decimal ASCII value of the char- 
acter under Ihe cursor, the number of lines, 
file size in bytes, number of changes, page 
number and page line number. 

Most ol Edge's menus are self explana- 
iiut you also have plenly of control 
over how Edge 2.0 looks, feels and works 
via the Settings menu, Click and hold down 
ihe right mouse button and select Sellings 
from the top of ihe screen. Move down to 
Local and release the button. 

You will be provided with the 
ConflgEdge window along with several 
preference topics. Ii is clearly obvious what 
'nese topics do but they also make up an 
important element in Edge's power. 

That is, to be able to customise the pro- 
gram to your own needs. Obviously you 
can'l save the configuration file but any 
changes you make will remain while the 
program is nunning. 

As we will be explaining Edge in much 
more detail next month we will cover ihe 
basic concepts of the program, including 
basic menu options this month. 

Looking at Ihe first menu - Project - the 
first three options read Clear, Open and 



Include. Clear will erase the current text 
from the page, Open will allow you to load 
up a text file no larger than 32k and Include 
will allow you to insen a chosen lexl file at 
the cursor position on the present editing 
window, The Save, Save As, Print and 
Print As all allow you to direct your test file 
to either a disk or printer. The Windows 
menu allows you to alter the way in which 
the text editing windows are displayed. All 
text editing lakes piece in a window. 

Edit is where you can basically cut. copy 
and pasta selected text If you double-click 
the left mouse button over a character in 
your text file ihe cursor turns black. 

If you click Ihe button again, but this hme 
hold it down and drag the mouse pointer, 
you will notice thai the texl between the 
pointer and the initial cursor position is 
highlighted in white. The highlighted sec- 
tion of text is referred to as a block. This 
means that you can cut. copy and paste 
large sections of text in one go. 

In accordance with all the best text edi- 
tors, Edge 2.0 supplies a comprehensive 
find and replace function appropriately 
enough in the Find/Replace window. This 
means thai you can search for specific cri- 
teria and replace any occurrences with 
something else. 

This is very useful for mailing lists or as 
a mail- merge faclity, Another very useful 
addition to the Find/Replace menu is the 
Block lo Find Buffer and Block to Replace 
Buffer. This allows you to select text, as 
explained above and copy it into eilher the 
find buffer or replace buffer, II you have

unwanted characters in your text that are 
not alphabetical or numerical characters 

you can simply select them and copy them 
into the appropriate buffer rather thai work- 
ing round the keyboard trying to find out 
what key combination produces them. 

Definitely a powerful addition to Edge's 
arsenal is its Macro facility We will be 
explaining Macros in the nexl tutorial but 
basically they allow you lo record a series 
of activated events which can then be 
replayed at a later date. 

For example, you may wani to change a 
text file and apply this change over all 
future Mes. You would Macro record the 
changes using the original file and I hen 
replay the Macro on all the other files. 

With the basic functions explained you 
should be fairly confident with Edge. There 
are many more exciting features to Edge 
2.0 and we'll have more on these next 
month.

AmiDock is a superb little utility which allows you to launch 
programs simply by clicking on the appropriate linage. 

Implementing a very unique interface, you can create 
brush images for a particular application and incorporate 
them into the interface. 

Once you have created an appropriate assign (see instal- 
lation instructions) double-click the AmiDoch icon and a set 
of pre-delined Images will appear at the right-hand side of 
the Workbench screen. 

If you click on the square gadget alongside the two 
arrows you will then he able to access AmiDock's menus. 
You will also notice that by clicking and holding down the 
mouse button over the square, you can drag the icons 10 
wherever you want. 

The Item menu allows you to add and delete new files as 
you wish, but you should first design an appropriate icon In 
your lavourite paint package, grab it as a brush and save it 
to the drawer of your appropriate Workbench resolution - 
interlace or non-inierlace. 

With the brush defined you can then add the program 
into Ami Dock. Select Add from the Edit menu and click the 
Load button. This will allow you to select the file - the file 
name will be reflected in Ihe Name string, You then select a

SuperDuper 11 

Author: Sebasliano Vigna 
Workbench 2 and above only 



SuperDuper is a lightning fast disk copier and formatter 
that is lar more efficient than Ihe Workbench diskcopy 
and format routines. 

The program also has the ability to buffer disk contents 
into RAM. which means that if you are duplicating a disk 
on to several other disks you only need read the source 
disk once. 

Once you have loaded SuperDuper you will be presen- 
ted with a very attractive user-interface which is divided 
into three sections. 

The first section allows you to choose which function 
you want to apply to disks - whether it be copying, for- 
matting or checking - Ihe mid -section provides buttons 
to select the source and destination drives and the last 
section oflers several modes allowing you to change the 



way in which the data is copied, formatted and checked. 
When perlorming an operation, you can click on the kilo 
buttons which will display the progress of the current 
operation and any information that may prove useful. 

You can also select preferences regarding 
SuperDuper's functions and storage areas by 
clicking Ihe Options button and changing the buttons. 
These preferences can then be saved by clicking 
SaveCon.

Originally, DM5 was written as a CLI program which 
when run provided the user with somewhat confusing 
instructions on how to actually compress and decom- 
press disks. 

Fortunately, ParCon Software has come to Ihe res- 
cue by providing a user-friendly, intuition interface for 
QMS which provides a series of gadgets that allow 
complete control over QMS, without the need lor con- 
stantly relernng back to (he command Syntax. 

When you first toad up DMSWorkBench you are 
greeted by an attractive looking interface with a series 
of buttons. The most useful of these buttons is Read 
and Write. These allow you to actually compress and 



decompress disks with the minimum amount ol 
fuss. 
When you click on the Read button you will be

You cart bring ■& welcome tac&iHt to QMS wirh CMS 
Workbench. Comprtu And decompress disks with ease 



asked tor a filename and location where Ihe eventual 
compressed disk file should be stored. Users of 1Mb 
RAM are not advised to save their DMS files to RAM. 
When you have decided this, click on the Drive but- 



ton to set the target drive and then on Start lo begin 

compression. 

To the right-hand side of the interlace you will be 
able to monitor the progress ol compression, includ- 
ing Ihe current track being compressed and the lime 
taken, Any errors will also be Hashed., 

Write works in much the same way - you select Ihe 
DMS file you wish to decompress, Ihe disk drive you 
wish to decompress to and then click on Start to 
begin. 

You can also compress and decompress high den- 
sity and PC disks by clicking on the appropriately 
labelled button.

_K_I 



its an undeniable fad that 
I modems are getting fast. V, Fast 
in fact, as this is the latest stan- 

ira to which every modem user aspires. 

The first modem out there with ihis stan- 
4kfd was the Supra mode! reviewed last 
■sue. and Ihis new Courier model is US 
=tatx)l(cs answer to that, if indeed the Supra 
•as a question. 

V. Fast modems operate at 28, BOD baud, 
vi extreme turn of speed for the information 
ruigry '90s, and a baud rats unsurpassed 
it the history gf comms. 

This is double the speed of the fastest 
-odems available, and they in turn were 
double the speed of the previous models. 
You have to ash yourself where all this is 
gang lo end? 

Modems which are so fast they download 
the tile, of any size, virtually instantly? A 
2Mb download in the time it takes to click 
vw mouse? It seems impossible now bul 
Mnk about it, 

The modem I have next to my Amiga is 
seven times lasier ihan I he first modern | 
; wned. and thai was only seven years ago, 
I the speed of modems doubles every year 
or so, where wHI we be in another seven 
.ears? The 3,686,400 baud modem will be 
a reality, for sure, and probably faster slill. 

VERSATILE 

The current crop of modems are fast, you 
got that bit right, bul they also have another 
Dunch of features to do with what modems 
30 as well as sit there being modems. 

Mosl modems are now also fax 
machines, enabling users to send and 
receive faxes lo and from their computers. 
No modem worth the name has anything 
iess than fax ability. 

Bul these new modems have other fea- 
tures in common too. The Courier is a 
28.800 baud modem, in the V. Fast class 
and, like many other modems of this class, 
:s software upgradable. Special software 
can load itself into E PROMS in the unit to 
ide the software in the machine to a 
er standard, 

US Robotics has a BBS in ihe US which 

carries software upgrades for the modems. 

it has a quick conned feature, which cuts 

i*aining" lime, like when the modem 

ronnects to a service. 

Usually Ihis can rage between nine and 
20 seconds wilh a conventional modem, but 



Sqhm or wot?

speed 



with the V. Fast, when you're on, you're on, 
The modem not only auto adjusts its con- 
nect rate lo match the incoming signal, but 
also it has ASL, or adaptive speed levelling, 
allowing the modem to change speeds for 
more reliable signals while it is on-line, 
{Normally if you had to change rales you 
had to disconnect and reconnect after you'd 
adjusted the speed.) 

It has fax ability, as both a class 1 and 
class 2 fax software. As yet dass 2 software 
is only available for the Supra (if memory

latest in BB.8 tectjnnlogtf 

from IIS Bobaiks 



Is Ihis the besl modem ever? Well, okay it is sleek and black and sexy looking, and 
il is one of the fastest things on four little rubber feet. It's very flat too, so it can sit 
under your phone. 

Erm, well at least if your phone has enough clearance underneath, as there is a 
big ridge on top of the modem and on my phgne it lifted the rubber feet on the 
phone off the surface, meaning thai the phone just slid around on top. 

But that's a petty niggle, as I usually sit a disk drive or a pot of pens on fop of the 
modem anyway. 

Modems are really coming down in price, as there was a time whan the next big 
thing, which V- Fast certainly is, would be at least six limes more expensive than the 
current workaday standard. But it's now cheaper than ever before to gel Into V. Fast

the guys at Greg Perry Software come up 
wilh a new version nf GPFax to match 
these new machines 

There is a button on the front of the 
machine which has a unique function. II is 
the voice/data toggle switch, and this 
enables you lo switch from voice to dala 
without issuing an AT command. 

Although most phones allow you to use 
the modem and use the phone one after 
the other without a problem, some 
phone/modem combinations have a prob- 
lem wilh handset exclusion. 

This enables you to switch from data lo 
voice and back again, as some units have a 
problem with that, and you may nof be able 
to get back to data once you've switched lo 
voice. 

You can only do ihis when ihe modem is 
off-line. If you are on-line and you hii the 
voice switch, you will terminate the data 
line. The button also enables you to set the 
modem for remote access, if you want lo 
call the modem and access your computer 
from a remote site, p'&

FEATURE 



Os many of my friends will tell you, I 
am pretty disorganised in lile. Sure. I 
like neatness, but I'd rather some- 
one else rook care of it lor me. I'm Ihe 
■n of person who only does the washing up 
■rer- there are no more clean plates. 
But on my machine I'm as strict as a drill 
I know where to find every file on 
machine and nothing gets introduced lo 
machine unless I know where it should be 

) guess this tidiness is an obsession made 

rse by the number of machines I tend lo 

are completely disorganised. Amiga 

have it easy in a number ot ways 11 

nto later, but they seem ihe worst of the 

most of the time, 

i ¥e visited clients and no) been even able 

stuff on their machine because I don't 

oow where it should go, and worse still, nai- 

i d they! 

Hopefully this article should be able to help 

if.sne with a hard drive-equipped Amiga to 

•x a little tidier with vefy Wtg effort (and make 



my |ob easier to boot! ). 

Firstly, many of you reading this article 
krww little about AmigaDQS and care less. 
That's okay, you don't need to know. For 
those interested there is a boxoul detailing all 
those different directories that come as stan- 
dard on every Amiga, but far the rest of you, 
rest easy, 

I'm not going to get you to write 
AmigaDQS scripts or ask you to remember 
obscure shell commands. Well, you might 
need to type in a couple of sentences, bul 
that's all 

The first way that (he Amiga beats Ihe PC 
and Macintosh l(BS in the assign command. 
This allows you to get access to Ihe files you 
want quickly and easily. 

Say you do a lot ot graphics work, pic- 
lures, animations, brushes and so on. 
Wouldn't it be easy if, instead of having to go 
through all the different drawers ol your hard 
drive picking files here and there, you coukl 
have ihem all in one place, easity accessible 
from any program that needs them? Well, it

is easy. All you need to do is make an assign. 
The way to make an assign is to create a 
drawer on your hard drive called, for the sakB 
of argument. Bitmaps. 

Done thai? Okay ifien, now all you need to 
do to assign that drawer is to open a shell 
window and type:

you use the Hie requester you should see

The best thing of all is it will lake the 
same amount of mouse clicks to reach no 
matter where it is on you hard drive. The 
onry problem is thai when you rebool ihere 
won't be a "bitmaps: assign" again unless 
you retype it in Itie Shell. 

I'm sure you don't really want to have to 
oo that, so the best way around H i$ to edit 
the User-Startup file. To do so just open a 
Shell window - I won't gel you to do this 
much more, I promise - and type;

put these in Bitmaps instead, seeing as 
they are pictures in Iheir own right)

processed letters 

• Text: for ASCII text files 

• WP: for word processed files 

• Sheets; for spreadsheet files

or by a clients name. 

Kafetel 



Its all UBS: and DEE 



If you are contused about all the different drawers 
with cryptic names on your Workbench partition, 
then read on. Your Workbench disk consists of 
various essential drawers necessary for the suc- 
cessful operation of Workbench. 

Listing them alphabetically, the first we come 
to is C. This drawer contains all the AmigaOOS 
commands used in the Shell, or by the startup- 
sequence and user-startup. 

Some C; commands over the years have been 
moved from the C; directory and put into the 
Kickstart ROM. which is why looking for the Echo 
command, for instance, is a waste of time- 
There are no icons for any of these files 
because the programs they represent are not 
used from the Workbench, bul only from the 
Shell, 

li you are running Workbench 3 the next 

— we come lo is Classes. Classes contains 

, items to do with running Workbench, the 

■ ones being datatypes for use with Mulhview 

(and any other datatype-supporting program). 

and gadgets for object-oriented programming. 

These gadgets are things like the colour gradi- 

■ in the Preferences program "Palette" - 

■ it easier for programmers lo incorpo- 

stmdard features in their programs without 

ag id recreate them from scratch 

The next drawer in our list is DEVS: This name 




Vdu might end 
up sEaminr, 
through an enormous list if 
assigns to tm anil find the 

oneiinuoflnt 




window should open up. It might say at ihe 

bottom "Creating new file* il you haven't 
had your Amiga long, but the chances are 
that it will have some text in it already. 

Just move the cursor down to the bottom 
ol the file and add the "Assign Bitmaps;" 
line we already tried. While you're in there 
you might want to add some more assigns. 
Table i shows you some to get you started 

Whatever is simplest usually works best 
After all, you might end up searching 
through an enormous list of assigns to try 
and find the one you want, which rather 
defeats the object of the whole exercise. 

Now, every time you boot your machine 
you will have all those convenient assigns, 

The location of the drawer is unimpor- 
tant because you will never have lo search 
through ihe norma? route to reach it - no 
more DH1 ;OtherSluff/Things/wOSsna 
mesmewbits/DPaint/Piclures . . . 

PARTITIONS 

By the way, before you reboot to take 
advantage of all those great assigns 
you've just made, make sure you have cre- 
ated the necessary drawers for them. 
There now, that wasn't so painful was it? 
And I promise that I won't get you to use 
the Shell again. 

Onto ihe next phase in reorganisation. 
This is a bit of a two-parter. The first bit is 
standard to any Amiga. First of all, let's 
assume mosl of you have the standard two 
partitions that hard drive-equipped Amigas 
come with, normally Workbench: and 
Work; lor A6Q0, A 1200 and A4uM owners 

If you only have one partition most of 
this stufl is going to be redundant, but don't 
stop reading. If you have leads of little par- 
titions, what are you doing? Each partition 
you have chews up exlra RAM and 
reduces the overall Size of your hard drive. 



The Tools menu 



In Workbench 2 there is a Tools menu at 
the lop of your screen. If you have just 
bought your Amiga it is quite likely that this 
menu only contains the command 
"ReselWrr. 

If you've had your machine for longer 
you might have already got either 
ToolManager, ToolsDaemon or one of the 
other Tools menu utilities in your 
WBStartup drawer. 

These programs are commodities that 
allow you to put your favourite programs in 
Ihe Tools menu or create new menus of 
your own to put your programs in. This 
saves all Ihe hassle of having lo click 
through endless drawers trying to find the 
programs you want to run, 

l use a combination of both 
ToolManager and Tools Daemon to give 






Try to keep the number of partitions lo a 
minimum if you have a hard drive under 
100MB, Even it you've got a really big 
drive you shouldn't need to have loo many 
partitions. 

1 have about 1 .3GB of storage and only 
have four pa rli lions; Workbench:, Work:, 
Other: and Data;. Other: has all the stofl 
thai can't be classified in it and games: 
Data: contains exactly that, pictures, anims. 
PageStream documents, text files, etc.. 
Workbench: has all my Workbench files 
and loo Is in it, and Work; contains all the 
programs I need to use to create all the 
files in Data:, 

The first thing is that your Workbench 
partition is really small, right? Between 5 



Is short lor devices and is inside other drawers 
pertaining to Ihe various devices attached to or 
part of your Amiga - for instance, monitor dri- 
vers, printer drivers or keyboard drivers. 

In the main part of DEVS: there are also files: 
the actual device drivers themselves, 
serial. device, parallel. device and printer.device 
and various others. If you used ParlMET, your par- 
netdeviee end parnet mountllst would go in 
DEVS:. 

Next up is Expansion, This doesn't get used as 
much these days as it did under Workbench 1.3 
bul is similar to OEVS: in that it is used to hold 
drivers for additional hardware like hard drive 
controllers or graphics cards. 

COMMANDS 

This drawer is more than likely empty on your 
machine. When your Amiga boots, a command is 
Issued in the starlup-sequence called bind- 
drivers. 

This loads all the device programs In DEVS: 
along with the selected printer, monitor and key- 
board drivers. It also then looks in the Expansion 
drawer lo see If there is anything in there, and if 
there is. il loads that too. 

On to L,. L: isn't used as much Ihese days 
either. It used to be where the disk validator lived, 
along with various other essentials which have 



now been incorporated into Kickslart. 

It still holds handlers" which are similar to 
.device programs. It doesn't have an icon 
because there is. no point loading the programs 
manually as they are all set up on booting. 

LIBS: is our next port of call in this tour of 
Workbench. UBS: (short lor libraries surprisingly 
enough) is where our Amiga scores another 
advantage over other systems. 

The Amiga uses a set of linked libraries that 
can be used by any program. They only get 
loaded as necessary and even if several pro- 
grams are using the same library, thai library only 
needs to be loaded once. 

Libraries era programs that never need to be 
loaded manually, hence the lack of an icon for 
this drawer or the files inside 

If you are running Workbench 2.1 or higher the 
next drawer we come to is Locale. Locale makes 
your Amiga more user-friendly to chums all 
across the globe. 

Next on our list of interesting places to visit on 
your Workbench disk is Prefs. This Is the most 
used drawer on many people's hard drive as they 
choose all sorts ol garish patterns lor Workbench 
backdrops, change their fonts for menus and 
icons, or show people how silly a mouse pointer 
they can create. 

Inside the Prefs drawer resides another

and hit reium. This time there should defi- 
nitely be some text extant in Ihe file. Now 
look out for the bit where all ihe assigns 
crop up. There should be one for FONTS:. 
one for FEXX: and a path statemenl for 
Tools. 

We'll deal with the REXX; assign first as 
it's the easiest, Simply change the line lo 
read: 



Miign Rtu: Ho. 



where *"' is the name ol your larger hard 
drive partition. This actually helps in more 
ways than one. 

Firstly, it will stop your Workbench parti- 
tion from getting clogged up and secondiy 



you might have noticed thai, by default, 
REXX: is assigned to S:, 

Well, S: is where your startup-sequence, 
user-slartup and other similar tiles are 
located and if you end up with umpteen 
ARexx scnpls In the same drawer it's going 
to make it tough to find your user-startup 
when you wgnl it. Agem, do remember to 
craale the ARexx drawer where you have 
assigned it. 

The part of the startup-sequence where 
FONTS: are assigned looks a little more 
complex whal with all the "If exists" state- 
ments, but ihey don't really matter. Jusl cut 
out these lines:

Ewr-Archive (which has the assign ENVARC;)

to, quite a few other programs. 

Every time you boot your machine whatever is 
m ENVARC: gets copied to a directory called 
EHV: in RAM, This is lo allow temporary settings 
•t programs, 

For instance choosing Use rather than Save in 
any ol the Preferences programs will result in a 
Ma being saved in ENV: rather than ENVARC: so 
•at when you reboot it is lost. 

Alter Profs comes Rexxc which Is far less inter- 
ring Rexxc Is the place where the ARexx serv- 

programs reside and gets a visit from most 
iga users about as often as Outer Mongolia. 

SCBIPTS 

Slipping out of Rexxc we drop hurriedly into Si. 
S is for scripts and that is what we find in here. 
Th* two main inhabitants are the Startup- 
sequence and user-startup which are the scripts 
total the Amiga whal lo do when it is booting. 

After S: on some machines running 
Workbench 2 1 or higher there comes Storage. 
1Mb is a storeroom for unwanted tiles in DEVS:. It 
«aajs all the other printer keyboard and monitor 
drivers that aren't currently being used.

move onto ihe System drawer. The system 
drawer contains, for the most part, programs that 
might make more sense being in the C: drawer. 

Some ol the programs, of course, need lo be 
available via icons, and that is why they reside 
here. You should find Shell. Formal and 
RexxMasl in here, among others. 

After System comes T; for temp. T: is usually 
assigned to Ft AM: so you probably won't find 
much in here, Fifes you find in here immediately 
alter a reboot can be deleted as Ihey are 



temporary files created by some program or other 
that haven't been cleared up, either because the 
machine crashed or you rebooted without closing 
everything down first. 

Following that, the Tools drawer looms up. If 
you are really short on space a lot of the pro- 
grams in Tools can be deleted. If for instance you 
are not the proud owner of an A600 or A1200 you 
can merrily rid yourself of the PrepCard tool as it 
applies only to machines with a PCMCIA slot. 

CMD. GraphicDump and PrinlFiles have all got 
replacements inside other programs, and 
MEmacs is a text editor based on the Unix stan- 
dard EMacs It too cart be deleted if you are 
already using another program to edit text files. 

Our penultimate stopover Is Utilities. This 
drawer contains More: the text reader, a clock 
and, if you are running Workbench 3, Mulliview. 

Last but definitely not least, is WBStartup. 
When your Amiga boots it looks into this drawer 
and runs any programs it finds there. Most pro- 
grams that get put Into WBStartup are called 
Commodities and are useful little tools like 
scrcenblankers. virus checkers or Workbench 
improvers. 

If you am not sure about where to put riles and 
Ihe documentation accompanying them gives 
you no clues, it is not usually a good Idea just lo 
shove them into C: or UBS: or whatever.

where "" is the name ol your larger hard

Okay, trial's that sorted, Did you make 
ihe fonts drawer? The last part of massing 
with the startup -sequence deals with the 
palh statement for Tools. 

This is slightly less important than deal- 
ing with trie assigns, especially if you 
r\ev$r use trie Shell, However, just for 
completeness sake, if you are going lo 
make Work: the- new home for your Tools 
drawer, simply change the path statement 
from:

Right, now thai we've done all this editing 
we're tialf-way lo a better system. Did I 
only say half-way? Yes, because unless 
you've been doing stuff behind my back 
you haven't yet copied all ihe files you 
need into the new locations we've been 
creating. ' 

So now jusl transfer ail your fonts to 
your new font drawer, all your ARexx 
scripts to your AResx drawer (this one 
might be tougher as you'll have to be able 
lo tell Ihe difference between an ARexx 
script and an ordinary AmigaDOS script. 
The easiest way to work it out is that 
ARexx scripts always start with the 
characters /* }. 

You should also take some time moving 
all your pictures, text files, spreadsheets, 
and SO on into the new assigned drawers 
you have created. 

MANAGEMENT 

If you are sifting there right now wonder- 
ing how on earth you are going lo do 
all this his moving you obviously don'l 
have any sort of file management 
program 

If you don't, shame en you. Uncle 
Frank's rule number one: II you've got a 
hard drive, you need a Me management 
program, There are plenty of them out 
there, some are free and others cost dosh 
and I've listed a few of each in a boxout 
later on. 

Go to it, Once you have finished moving 
all the file* around that you need you 
should be ready for a reboot. You should 
rtOw have a hard drive that isn't difficult to 
navigate, and as long: as you continue to

Customising your fits manager is one of 
the most profitable things you can do - 
productivity- wise. Being able to achieve 
complex operations like de-archiving 
or editing startup-sequences at the 
touch of a single button or menu item will 
save you an awful lot of time in the long 
run, at Ihe expense of a little tinkering 
now. 

For instance, now thai we have set up 
all those assigns in our User-startup, 
wouldn't it be nice to make them easy to 
get at in Directory Opus? 

Nothing could be simpler. Go into the 
configure program and click on the 
Buttons icon. Find an empty button and 
click on it. 

This should bring up the Sutton Edit 
screen. In here you should give your 
button a name, which should be the 
assign (let's assume we are working 
on a Bitmaps: assign, so call the 
button Bitmaps:), then where you 
enter what lhat button does, add the 
command; 

Seif'dir Bitiapn 

and hit return. That command should now 
appear in the command list. Next, hit OK

is that you should keep a backup of ) 
your Starlup.DM file in case you do I 
something wrong, quit and it gets saved | 
that way, 

All you need do now is edit ihe start- 
up.dm file and where the Quit menu item 
is you should change it so lhat the line 
reads:

Amigas. Nol very good, bul will do at a

• Quarterback: Getting better all the time 
Now up lo version 6 and can at last do muttl 
pie volume backups. Support for tape* 
Streamers is very good with excellent back- 
up rates. 

• Ami-Back: My choice of backup software 
Not as fast as Quarterback, but can perform! 
multiple backups and comes with a scheo-l 
uler lo give you reminders of when to back]

that backup automatically if desired.

jrij the following looltype to the icon., 
mn erf GVP. IVS and other manufac- 
rs controllers can use it:

is the name ol the device driver 
3 ie. gvpscsi.device RDPrep: 
itaety distributable hard drive mstalla- 
-;d written by Microbotics to allow 
i with A1200s to buy a hard drive al 
' sate and be able to install il without 
Tf\g Commodore's software. The 
e is very comprehensive, il a littles 
I at times. 



Here are some of my favourite time-sav- 
ing commodities. You might not want to 
use them all if your machine* is lacking in 
memory, drive space or processor power. 

ARQ - This makes Workbench look a lot 
prettier with animated requesters popping 
up centre screen rather than in ihe top left- 
hand comer. You can also use the Return 
key for OK and the Esc key for Cancel. 
AssignX - Ever get those annoying 
requesters popping up saying "Please 
insert volume blah in any drive...?" 
AssignX gives you new options apart from 
Retry and Cancel, The most important is 
Assign. Hitting this button will bring up a 
file requester allowing you to assign vol- 
ume Blah to whatever directory you 
choose, 

ClickToFront - One of the only 
Commodore-supplied commodities that I 
use, it is al its most useful when you 
change the tooitype to read: "QUALIFI- 
ER=NONE* This way, double-clicking on 
a window will bring it to the front of the 
stack. 

CycleToMenu2 - This changes cycle gad- 
gets into those nifty little pop- up menus 
you see on other machines. 
FOCO - or Formal Controller, With this 
commodity installed, inserting an unformat- 
ted floppy into a drive will bring up a 
requester asking it you wish to format it. 
FOCO's only downside is that il doesn't 
offer a facility to format DCFS disks, 
MagicMenu - This terrific tool lets you use 
your right mouse button to bring up menus 
anywhere on the screen, 
MFH - Magic File Requester is just that. If 
a program uses the standard ASL tile 
requester, Req or ReqTools requesters, 
MFR replaces them with its own. MFR has 
customisable positioning,, fonts and even 
scrollbars, but its most useful feature is the 
ability to delete or rename files and make 
directories while its window is open. 
Swazlnfo - Only for users of Workbench 3 
and up. ft replaces the normal icon infor- 
mation window with a much better one, 
giving drag and drop facilities for changing 
the icon image, networking ownership bits 
(nol too useful, this one) and various other 
features. 




As you can maa, I'm h»wlnu a utile 
troubl* with font* in ProPaaa here. 




Damn hand* that TltteCtotk! 

TrtleClock - I've been waiting for this tool 
for a very long time. I had always seen 
that on other machines that didn't have 
the multiple screen philosophy of the 
Amiga, titlebar clocks were always avail- 
able. Well now there's one tor the Amiga 
loo. Il will jump to the frontmost screen at 
all times and has a very configurable 
date/time. 

ToolManager & ToolsDaemon - The 
best aid to productivity. Look around 
these pages for the boxout about them. 
VirtisChecker - John Veldthuis' 
VinjsChecker is a program no hard drive 
owner should be without. It's better to be 
safe than sorry. 

Along with Ihese commodities, a few ol 
the Shell-based utilities I would not be 
without include: 

KlngCon - A replacement for the CON; 
device thai gives drag and drop direciory 
manipulation, command line history, 
name completion and saveabie buffer, 
among other benefits. 
Install New Alert - Whenever your Amiga 
crashes you get a red alert box with two 
cryptic numbers in it. One rs the task that 
caused the crash, the other is the reason 
it caused Ihe Crash. InstallNewAlert gives 
you these facts in plain English. 
FontCacheX - Got an enormous fonllist? 
FontcaeheX puts it into RAM: so although 
the first lime you check your fonts direc- 
tory it will take the same lime as normal, 
subsequent reads will be much swifter, in 
some cases almost instantaneous. A 
great help if you are using DPaint or 
changing the style of your Workbench. 
Move - This Shell command does exactly 
what it says, it moves files (what did you 
expecr?}. 

SnoopDOS - Don't you just hate it when 
you have a program that jusl won't run 
and you can't figure Qui why? Wall, 
SnoopDOS should be able to help out 
with problems of ihis sort, and as such is 
a necessity for all hard drive owners 
(especially as il is a Public Domain 
program). 

What is it? Well, as you should be able 
to see from the picture, SnoopDOS 
resembles a shell window with current 
tasks scrolling upwards through it. 
SnoopDOS will tell you whal files a pro- 
gram is looking for and, more importantly, 
will inform you if there are any failures lo 
load or open a file, Because SnoopDOS 
gives a path, il means it is usually pretty 
easy to see where any problems you are 
having lie.

f you use your Amiga for anything 
besides blasting Space Spuds from 
Planel Londo, ihen you'll appreciale 
fnpoflanoe of quality fonts. For desktop 
they make the difference between 
look-alike documents and attention- 
designs. 

:*o producers require fonts that are 
enough to be read on fuzzy TV dis- 
but distinctive enough to grab atten- 
Earty versions of Amiga DOS supported 
, ow-resolution bitmapped fonts, which 
t *ine for screen display (if the font hap- 
-ed to come in the size you needed), but 
■cd terribly biocky on the printed page. 
i-'gaDOS 2.04 and later support 
■npugraphic outline fonts, which can 
s*» be resized to provide top-notch results 
both the screen and printed page. 
Ifca perfect panacea for font users, nghl? 
muld be, except thai the PC and 
losh ptatforms standardise on Post- 
and TrueType, not Compugraphic, as 
w ton! formats. 

because of this, there are ihousands mora 

s available in those formats, ranging 

free TrueType fonts to professional 

TScript fonts lhat cost hundreds of 




Soft-Log ik's newly upgraded TypeSmith 

I lets you convert both PostScript and 

T«*p»Type fonts for use on the Amiga - now 

fau can find virtually any typeface for your 



"/peSmith allows you to design your own 

rtface and save it in any supported format. 

n fact, TypeSmith is primarily a font 

gn and modification editor, although 

Amigans use it primarily lot font con- 

, making only minor tweaks to type- 



TRUETYPE 

biggest improvemenl to version 2.5 is 
T» addition o! TrueType support. TrueType 
font slandard used by both the PC's 
■Wows 3. 1 and the Macintosh's System 7. 
The ability to convert TrueType fonts to 
Compugraphic or PostScript formats gives 
«ou access lo a huge library of inexpensive 



fypeSmlth has always supported 
PostScript import (Type 1) and export (Types 
a-m 3). Release 2.5 features significantly 
motor hinting for PostScript fonts. 

~ie program will also toad and 1 save IFF 
JR2D drawings (allowing you to create or 
-cdrfy characters in a drawing program, or 
clip art into a font), and load (but not 
i fonts in the Original PageStream font

the inaq 




Looks fmmUimr, but ft'r »H 
champs inalda tha software 

BFF. an IFF formal lhaf allows for very lasl 

loading and saving, bul is so far only used by 
TypeSmilh, 

You can also load and save bitmapped 
fonts (standard Amiga bitmaps, PoslSchpl 
ABF. or Soft-Logik format), as well as Amiga 
IFF bitmap pictures (useful if you want to 
scan a printed typeface). 

New commands to remove unnecessary 
points and correct path directions to 
PoslScript standard are handy for both con- 
verted and traced fonts. 

TypeSmith's font editing features aren'l 
changed in this version, but they were 
already pretty complete to begin with. 

Using an interface similar to 
PaggStream's, wilh multiple ediling windows 
and a floating tool bar, you can load one or 
many fonts, and simultaneously dispfay mul- 
tiple characters from each font 

You can copy, cut, and paste characters 
from one fonl to another, a feature useful for 
adding missing characters, such as the 
pound or copyright symbols, to incomplete 
fonts. 

Outline fonts are edited using splines. You 
can also create and edil bitmap fonts, 
although TypeSmilfi's features are geared 
more for outline use. 

Characters can be rotated, flipped, or 
skewed (useful as a start for creating an italic 
font) individually or throughout the entire 
font, A help bar at the bottom of the window 



TypeSmith is the only game in town when it comes to creat- 
ing and converting outline fonts on the Amiga, so Soft-Logik 
could easily have rested on their laurels and expected It to 
sell itself. 

Instead, the company has taken an already good program 
and made it nearly perfect, There ere still a few nits to pick - 
autotrace could be made a bit smarter, for instance - but 
overall it's a wonderful program. 

If you use your Amiga for desktop publishing or video 
titling, this program is a must-have, as if opens the door to 
using virtually every popular font in existence on your 
favourite computer. 

And if you own a PC or Mac along wilh your Amiga, or use 
an emulator, you can use TypeSmith to convert typefaces, so 
you can have access to the same typefaces on all the plat- 
forms you use 



Almost 
perfect 



always displays I he function of I he gadget 
under the mouse, making it easy to learn 
how lo use Ihese features. 

If you wan l to sample your handiwork, 
TypeSmith allows you to print samples of 
your fonts. Earlier versions of the program 
would only print individual characters or a 
limited sample of the characters. 

Version 2.5 will prinl a complete lont refer- 
ence shoe!, with samples of all the charac- 
ters printed next lo their ASCII values

spent time installing additional twdwa

hardware can often make you wish you' 
saved your money and sluck with wtiat yi 
had. 

I must admit, after reading through t 
insiallalion procedure I had an impendi 
feeling of disaster. In most cases, install! 
means removing Ihe case and perhaps n 
ting a few jumpers - not this time. 

In Ihe ease of the Warp there's lew 
any, jumpers to be set. However there was 
Uie minor inconvenience of dismantling the 
enlire machine. 

After getting half-way through, the only 
thing left in Ihe case was the motherboard 
Quite- literally everything else was out c* 
the desk,

options 



s technology marches ever onward. 
even an 040 A40Q0 can be found 
wanting when it comes to rendering 
and using other high-end applications. As a 
result the race is now on to squeeze even 
more speed from: ihe machine, 

As it stands there's two schools ot 
thought, You can either pump up the exist- 
ing technology or opt for power of Rise 
technology and parallel processing. 

Although the latter offers astonishing per- 
formance, way above that of even the 
Fastest 040 or even 080, it does have two 
major drawbacks, namely huge expense 
and very limited compatibility. 

We'll took al the risk options later, and 
concentrate for ihe time being on ihe only 
approach to 040 acceleration which guaran- 
tees compatibility with almost all your exist- 
ing software, while still delivering rendering 



Although we tested Irie lastest Warp configuration, there's a number of 
alternatives including a 2SMHz. 33MH2 and 40 MHz board, if you're wor- 
ried about upgrading, (JSMacroSy stems claims it's possible to upgrade 
Iron both the 28MHz and 33MHz lrj the 40MHz very easily. 

It s also claimed that the standard board will be compatible with OGQ's 
when available. 

Like thr? 40MHz version, the MM Hi system comes complete However, 
the 26MHz uses your original CPU and clocks it up slightly. It's Ihe DMA 
that makes Ihe real difference - and should provide a very noticeable 
uprovemeril in the speed of applications and even rendering, 




speeds - in some cases Ihree times that ot 
a standard 2SMH2 040 A40Q0. 

Vdu may well wonder quite how such an 
increase in performance can be squeezed 
from an 040 without melting the CPU in its 
sockel. 

An obvious option is to increase the MHz 
of the chip - which in the fastest Warp 
Engine means swapping your 25MHz chip 
for an 40MHz, 

MONSTER 

Although this would make a difference on 
its own, it hardly accounis tor a near three- 
fold increase in rendering times. However if 
you combine such a chip with DMA - direct 
memory access - aelually on the CPU's 
daughter board, you have the makings of a 
monster, 

Due to the basic design of the A4000 
memory access, the motherboard of the 
machine doesn I even come close to Hilling 
the potential of the on-board RAM. 

Thanks to the Warp, the RAM being 
linked directly lo the 66040 bus, access 
leaps by more than a factor of four. 

Not surprisingly this means the Warp 
Engine provides jaw dropping performance. 
And of course there's the added bonus ot a 
fast SCSI II controller also built directly onto 
the board. Add all of the above tog el her 
and you have the fastest all round, none 
Rise-based acceleration and daia transfer 
system on Ihe Amiga, As anyone who's 



DISMANTLING 

The plastic front cover was Off, followed* 
by the floppy bay, then the hard drive anc 
finally the original 040 daughter board. The j 
only ihing that you don't need to touch arej 
Ihe Zorro slots - thanks to the fact that the 
entire Warp assembly comes on a direct' 
replacement for the aforementioned da ugh- , 
ter board. 

The fact that you can leave your Zr 
slots to their own devices - no pun 
intended - ts another bonus of ihe Warp 
Engine. Thanks to the daughter boat! 
replacemenl you obviously don't sacrifice 
a Zorro for the extra speed - and oli 
course the on-board SCSI II controller 
saves even more valuable Zorros, not lo 
mention cash. 

After contracting the usual case ol instal- 
lation rash Irom the razor sharp pressed 
steel interior ot the machine, it was time to 
pop In the new daughter board, throw all 
the bits back together and boot the 
machine - installation disk al ihe ready. 

Surprise, surprise, it booted first time. I 
checked (he menu bar and all the memory 
had configured perfectly - things were 
going, a little too well. What the hell, lets try

Of the Warp 

Engine 



software is just one of the many testam&nts 
to the inherent quality of the product. Over 
recenl years I've had the pleasure and 
•sometimes pain of using and reviewing 
quite a number of accelerators, the vast 
majority of which all demand at feast some 
sort of software intervention to operate 
properly - but not this time, plug it in and 
you're off. 

REFLECTION 

Although I've msde a point of the physi- 
cal problems associated with install all on, 
it must be stressed thai this is a reflection 
on the cramped and curious design of the 
A4000 rather lhan the Warp Engine. 

As far as the Warp was concerned, you 
only need do two things; plug it in the slot, 
and turn on the machine - installation com- 
plete, the tricky bit was the former... Aj»f 



Oh of the big advantages ol the Warp Engine 
IN ability So use your existing RAM. This is 
ire <or both, (he 2WWi and 33MHz configura- 
tors but m the case of foe 40MHz board you 
a»AJ run into problems. 

* no ugh the latter will work perfectly with 
•oil 80ns and 70ns 72 pin sims, it's only ai its 
:*£ with BOns RAM, Unfortunately il's almosl 
artain (he RAM shipped with your machine was 
«r«r 80ns or 70ns. 

As a result, investors in the 40MHz board 
*it need to shell-out for faster RAM if Ihey 



want the board a! its very pest. However, it's not 
essential, and in lact we tested the board with 
70ns RAM by adding wail slates, and as you 
can see Ihe results were still pretiy impressive, 

Thanks to some inspired design work it's 
even possible to mix and malch sims of varying 
sizes, ranging between 4Mb. 8Mb, 16Mb and 
32Mb, giving a theoretical maximum of 128Mb 
within (tie four sim slots provided, 

There are occasional restrictions to ensure 
ihe RAM is contiguous - fortunately all is 
explained in the brief but impressive manual. 



Uerdirt 




If you've got the cash get the card. 
Although Ihere are a number of 
acceleration systems lor the A400Q 
and A3000 this Is far and away the 
best yet. 

The only real challenger Is GVP'a 
G-Force 040 which costs roughly 
the same price but has the disad- 
vantage that it requires SVP's own 
sims. In addition the planned SCSI 
II add-on still isn't shipping. 

If Ihe boasts of up-chip-abihly 
are true it's unlikely you'll ever 
need to upgrade. All m all, an excel- 
lent product thats both reliable on 
all applications and better 
still, expandable. Very highly 
recommended. 



Warp speed 



Obviously rendering is Ihe primary target tor Warp Engine but general 
application speed also rockets. During testing we ran the following 
as a tasler: 



LightWave test 

Using Ihe slandard texlures exam- 
ple rendered at video resolution 
752 x 576 with low anti-aliasing. 



Normal A4000 25MHz 
Warp Engine 40MHz 



16.17 mins 

6.43 mins 



ADPro test 

Using internal IDE drive, a video 
resolution Jpeg image was loaded, 
scaled down by 75%, converted to 



a negative and rendered as a MamS 
image using small ordered dither- 
ing. Process automated via 
ProControl. 

Normal A4Q0Q 25MHz 23.92 sec 
Warp Engine 40MHz 14.07 sec 

Il's worth stressing that all applica- 
tions which regularly access files on 
dish - lmagine2/3 being prime 
examples - would show even big- 
ger improvements when employing 
the Warp's SCSI II controller.

The lighter side 
of life 



Ithough undoubtedly one of the 

friendliest modelling and animation 

systems on the market, the pure 

r e*f and variety of features inevitably 

-j-t .. uhlwavc, and il s accompanying 

- : :t er, a tough nut to crack for &ven 

pc« -feed 3D nnthujimsts 

e -eally needed is a little hands-On 
h«ce from a real expert. Thankfully, that's 

■acfly what's on offer courtesy of Desktop 

Mhough formally only available to our ex- 
Mamal cousins in the Slates, Lee- 
fcanahan's series of Lightwave and mod- 
mmr rjtonals are now out in PAL. 

-"yone who's waded through a fairly 
•crucaJ manual will know, ten minutes with 
mtaQerl often equates to exactly the same 
•tng - minus a couple of days of head 
Botching and frustration. Thanks to Mr 
•jonahan, this old adage is now proven 
:-: : 'i S\ ocubl 
As luck would have it, our omnipresent 
ier is not only blessed with a wealth 
:' «*owiedge and a natural air of confi- 
ne--.; e but also a dry wit which goes a long 
«ay towards negating the trip to the dentists 
■•Sing all too often associated with tutorial 






Durmg Lightwave Essenlials, our hero 
fifcrs off gently with a guided lour of Layout. 
Mm existing users will already know. Layout 



Pro-IeriturGS 



is by far the simplest 
element in rhe 
Lightwave repertoire. 

With (his in mind I 
sal back, fully expect- 
ing to learn very little, 
confident in the knowl- 
edge acquired during 
six months of hard slog 
wilh manual and soft- 
ware. 

At which point Mr 
Stranahan pul me firmfy in my place. 
Obviously most people will bo pretty au fait 
with the basics, but when it comes to time 
saving, tricks of the trade and basic wont- 
ing methods, a few choice comments soon 
translate into hours saved in design and 
rendering times. 

As the name suggests this, the first in 
the series, is fairly basic stuff and doesn't 
touch on some key stumbling blocks such 
as surfaces and the application of texture 
maps. 

However, what is provided during (he 
two hour mlroduction to the six -part cotlec- 
II on does lay the ground rules and may 
well provide enough informalion on its own 
10 cater for those who aren't likely to take 
their Lightwave creations any further than 
the ubiquitous flying logo. 

A gentle, but never the less essential 
introduction to the art of Lightwave anima- 
tion. Picture quality could be a little better 
though - no doubt due to the NTSC 10 PAL 
conversion. 

Nevertheless, I'd recommend every 
Lightwave user to watch it. The time saving 
tips alone will soon cover the initial outlay - 
highly recommended.

For those who caught our September issue

Like many third-party developers, Positron 
were caught unawares by the arrival o( 
Lightwave 15. However, the incompatibility 
problems have now been eradicated and 
updates should already be shipping,

WiiSi the sudden profusion of CD-Rom and assorted tex- 
'.re collections, there hardly seems any room left lor yet 
another collection ol textures. 

However. In a seemingly flooded market Ihe Pro* 

"^lures combo collection does have one huge advantage 

over the opposition. Unlike almosl every oiher product on 

he market, Pro-Textures oilers the ability to tile 

^amlessly. 

Not Ihe kind of news to send most people gaily 
"Wping through the fields naked in a slate of 
.-controlled euphoria, unless of course you're a 3D fan ol 
course. 

The big problem with most textures is that when rapped 
around any 3D model, a very noticeable seam runs down 
he object Noi the case with thiscolleclion. 

After whal musl have been a torturous process, each 




Say ftoodbye (e n«ni court *ty of Pra-Tarlarex - 
enenlul aotl warn for »HoiJl 3D tana 

edge matches precisely with it's opposite number. As a 
result waves glide off inlo inlinily, bricks wrap effortlessly 
around walls and so on. In total, you receive 24 tenures 



over eight disks, each provided as a Ham, GIF and 24-bit 
Jpeg, Being an American import, the resolution 
is 736 x 4S0 which obviously will require some 
image processing for use as full screen backdrops, 
However, this isn't really what the collection is 
intended for. 

Purely thanks to the seamless texture mapping. I'd 
say the Pro-Textures series is a must lor any self 
respecting 3D enthusiast, And of course, although 
ideal for Lighiwave, Ihe collection is equally at home with 
Imagine, Real 3D or whatever package you prefer.

HARDWARE 



Hi— 



01 has never been one- of 
Commodore's strong points. 
Advertising, that is. This latest oper- 
tag system upgrade is no exception to that 
we OK. perhaps that is a bit harsh bearing 
: Their current problems, but their veil 
r i a uu cy does them no good a! all. 

»Kickstart and Workbench 3.1 have 
sr -eieasad with the usual lack of fanfares 
i saremony. Even more surprising, is the 
t ft§t Commodore haven't released it

The Workbench 3,1 manual is basically 
the same as its predecessor, both having 
been written by the same team on a variety 
of Amigas, 

There is additional information in chapter 
one regarding the selection of monitors, lan- 
guages and keyboards, and chapter two 
expands on using pointers. This seems 
strange, as l his is an up-grade and many 
users will already know these operations. 

The pictorial screen representations (i.e. 
screenshols) within the manual are not as 
clear as in the original manuals , bul this is 
compensated for in the additional informa- 
tion and clear explanation of Workbench 
and its functions. 

MANUAL 

The initial "cheap and nasty" feel of the 
manual soon subsides as you realise that 
ihe book will stay flat on the desktop or can 
be folded over because of the binder. 

This is certainly a well written manual, 
and more surprisingly it was written by 
Commodore, VillageTronic make no apolo- 
gies for slating thai it was self-printed by 
them, although you do get the impression 
that they perhaps used Pagestream to do It. 
There is practically no need to buy a Ihird- 
party Workbench book, Ihis has It all. 

A very welcome addition is an appendix 
devoted entirely to AmigaGuide. whtch for 
some people has caused frustralion under 
Workbench 3.0 by being called MultiView 

AmigaDOS 3.1 is a joy to read! This is a 
mega-upgrade to the original. Not quite the 
incentive lo roll up your sleeves and get 
your hands dirty, but at least all the informa- 
tion is there in front of you if and when you 
take the plunge. 

The book even begins by explaining how 



of you who expect an improvement in the number of colours available for 
snch are in for a big disappointment. This upgrade does not turn your Amiga 
«n AGA compatible. 

Ml is unless, of course, you have a 24-bit graphics card in your Amiga, With a 
Jtavtoy card, such as the Picasso II, you can select a 2S6 colour Workbench with no 
*m& at all - who needs the AG A chipset? 
palette editor in Prefs really does show Ihe colour wheel which was previ- 
ammmtf otity accessible with an AG A Amiga, ECS owners wilt not be able to see this. 
1 a bar is shown with the words "colour wheel". Vau must click on this bar to 
up another screen, Clumsy, but effective. 
While in the Prefs drawer, IPrefs on non-AGA Amigas will not allow 
taTrnmotinn This feature effectively de-interlaces the display to prevent flicker, 
inquires the AG A chipset.

upgrade, tut can ihis one outdo its 

predecessors? tfeuin Hitching finds out 



to use the manual, and takes three pages lo 
fully explain this. Easy or what? 

There are more directions and cross refer- 
ences lo sections than an insurance docu- 
ment - the difference is you can read and 
understand this. A complete novtce can he

simple and well laid out. 

Now, down to the bones of the upgrade. 
The main ingredient of the package is Ihe 
chip or chips, depending upon which Amiga 
you have, 

This has a small white stick-on label with 
the words 'Kickstart 3.T typed on it. Again 
rather cheap looking, but once inserted into 
the Amiga's ROM socket, no one will ever 
notice. 

Fitting is very simple for anyone with nor- 
mal eyesight and a reasonable level of man- 
ual dexterity. All you have to do, observing 
the usual anti-static precautions, is identify 
and remove the old ROM and insert the new 
one. This is done, preferably, with the Amiga 
turned off I

HARDWARE 



*$ try to stay a wake. 

Remember, you will probably have to 
remove most of the Innards of the Amiga lo 
do this, especially on the A2QQQ"! Anyway, 
here s one we did earlier.. 

Alright, the chip is snugly in its new home 
and you can power up the machine. The 
immediate difference is that the normal start- 
up that Kickstart 2 gives, in the form of a light 
gray screen, has gone. 

The machine now looks lo have crashed. 
All you get is a quick grey flash, the screen 
goes black, and your heart misses a beat. 
Only the hard disk activity light gives a clue 
tnat the Amiga is booting up as normal, 

When the Workhench screen appears, it 
now has a white title bar, identical lo Ihe 
A4000. The speed al which Workbench 
loads is a little faster than with Kickstart 2, 
which indicates that there are some welcome 
changes in the ROM to boost performance. 

The next exercise is lo install the- sijt 
Workbench 3.1 disks lo the boot partition of 
your hard disk. This is simplicity in itself, 
being totally idiot proof, which is just as well 
as there are no instructions. 

Just insert the Install 3.1 disk into the disk 
dnve. double-click the Install icon, select 
your language and away It goes. 

OVERWRITE 

Commodore have used their standard 
installer software to overwrite your old ver- 
sion 2.x tiles, and the whole installation is a 
doodle. The software is all version 40.xx and 
takes up less disk space than Workbench3.0 
did. After the disk swaps have been compil- 
ed, all lhal remains is to reboot the Amiga 
and sit back. 

Many disk operations are faster, and so 
are the screen updates. The maths libraries 
have been reworked to provide extra speed 
with some applications, although I he re are 
PD versions around which are bolh smaller 
and much faster, 

Generally speaking, the new software is 
the GTi ol Workbench releases. And yet. 
strangely it seems, ihere are some die-hards 
out there who insist on staying wrth Kickstart 
and Workbench 1.3. Come on people, wise 
up, no One is writing for the aid system these 
days. Move with the limes. 

Workbench 2.x users will find that l hey 
now have the ability to display graphics and 
lext on workbench, thanks to the Datatypes 
of Workbench 3. 

Even non Amiga Mistypes such as the 
PC's PCX and BMP graphics formats can be

In time, the price may fall, as it did with Workbench 2, but at the 
moment. Ihe quality of the product set against the usability does 
not equal thai much dosh. 

An interesting note is that the upgrade will not be available for 
AGOO or A 1200 owners, and there are no plans to offer any 
upgrade in the future. 

This is definitely art upgrade for those with "big box" Amigas 
who must have the latest operating system. After a while the 
newness wears off and you realise that It's Just another operat- 
ing system. 

Programmers (official Commodore developers) already have 
Kickstart «4Q.6B which they can soft-kick into memory. The point 
is. at the end of the day, if end users will not shell out £25 for 
KKhstart 2.04, who will part with LIDO for Kickstart 31?

displayed in a window. There is support lor 
some CO operations too such as CDXL (CD 
animation files). 

Yes, Ihe software carries CD-ROM sup- 
port. This is not as good as Ihe PD 
AmiCDROM system, but al least it works. Ihis 
time! 

The formal command now gives additional 
options too, Directory cacheing allows faster 
window updates wilh the FastFileSystem. 

So far everything sounds too good lo be 
true, I must confess thai I have some reser- 
vations about the reasoning behind this 
release. 

Kickstart 3-1 was announced as being in 
the A4000T by Commodore. The version 
number of that chip was 40.70. Now it is 
common knowledge lhal the A40OQT has 
never seen the light of day in the UK, so 
therefore no one knows if the chip does sup- 
port Auto-Booting from a SCSI CD-ROM [as 
promised by Commodore). 

A little defective work reveals lhal 
ViflageTronic were going to use version 
40.70 ROMs, but here is the crunch - there 
were timing problems with the SCSI bus and 
it simply would not work with the 040 acoal- 
erators out there. 

So. a compromise was reached - use 
a version that does work, Simple, just go 
back to an earlier working version tested by 
developers. 

Consequently there is no direct support for 
CD-ROM and no real difference in perfor- 
mance on the A400Q (other than a speed 
increase on accelerated ECS Amigas). 



So what is the point of ihe costly upgrade' 
Well, tor Ihe ECS Amigas (A5QQ+- etc.) the*! 
are no real additional benefits. Okay, the ira 
bar and pull-down menus on Workbench an 
now black on while. This looks more pleas 
ing than the previous attempt. But these an 
just Ihe "balls and whistles." 

Workbench 0,1 is definitely for hard drs 
syslems only. Six disks are a lot to Swap v 
a floppy- based system, Some software wn 
ten with Kickstart 3 in mind will work, but i 
the AGA chips are required, you've had I 
Game over player one. 

The situation is even worse for A400I 
owners. The changes are so subtle thai th 
definitely is a non starter. The software doa 
not drastically outperform the previou!

It's the business 



star 
letter 



have recently purchased an A120O Amiga 
computer and have to confess to being 
completely lost as lo where to go next. 1 
have an 80 megabyte hard-drive and gol 
some Iree games with the package. 
I hope to be able lo use my Amiga for a range ol practi- 
cal purposes. Firstly, I wanl to do some business projects; - 
could you suggest a good database package? Also is there 
a pefsonal finance package thai would be suilable for my 
machrne? 

Secondly, is there a good but cheap package I can get 
lo develop smart presenlations lor my business projects? 

I already have a word-processor that came wilh the 
computer but it does nol compare too well with the ones I 
have used in my old job.. Please could you tell me which is 
Ihe best word-processor on the Amiga. 

Stevsn Ross, Berkshire 

OK, we'll go through Ihe standalone options first. As 
tar as a database is concerned it might well be worth 
scanning the PD section to see If you can pick some- 
thing up for a couple of pounds. 

If PD or Shareware doesn't really interest you could 
go commercial with either Superbase Personal or its 
big brother Superbase Pro4. 

An alternative would be Prodala. perhaps in concent 
with its word processing partner Pretext. As luck 
would have it, Protext also happens to be an excellent 



word processor. However, it must be stressed that 
although Protext Is Ideal for business It isn't the first 
choice when it comes to pretty presentation. The ques- 
tion la would you prefer glamorous printouts or a sym- 
biotic database and word processing system. 

As lor a personal finance manager. I'd definitely rec- 
ommend Maxiplan4. Although It's not the prettiest soft- 
ware in the world it's in my opinion by far the best. 

As for presentation, especially in a business envi- 
ronment, I'd seriously consider Scala HVT, Although 
Ihe acronym stands for home video tiller it's still ideal 
for simple presentation work, It's also easy to use, and 
better still relatively cheap. 

If you're still in the market for an opinion on the best 
word processor I'm a devoted Wordworlh3, although 
Final Writer has just as many devoted followers. 

Both offer a mixture of excellent word processing 
features mixed wilh a good helping of DTP add-ons 
which makes for very impressive hard copy, 

The final alternative is to invest in a combination 
of all of the above - with the exception of Scala HVT, 
And as luck would have It, good old Europress 
Software have the very thing in the form of Home 
Office. 

Although the individual components don't match-up 
to the Individuals head-to-head, the overall package 
does offer a nicely Integrated system at a bargain 
price. 



In communication 



I am Irving to slart a Blitz User Group which 
will enable Blitz Users to communieaie via a 

tree disk magazine. The system works like 
this: 

Users send one blank floppy plus a self 
addressed and stamped envelope. I then col- 
late all the elements of ihe magazine and 
send il return post lo members. As I said it's 
all completely free except for Ihe price of the 
stamp. 

If you're interested send your questions, 
answers, hdeas and programs to ihe following 
address: Daryl Booth, 22B St John Avenue, 
Ramsgate, Kent CT12 6HE, 



Died a grim death? 



Well It's great to see that users are contin- 
uing to support machines even though 
the remains of Commodore appear indif- 
ferent to plight of their product and its 
users. 

It there's anyone else who would like a 
shout for a similar non-profit making ser- 
vice, whether it be a newsletter or user 
group, feel free lo drop us a line and we'll 
get you in print 

Blunder blite 

On opening a recenl issue of Amiga 

Computing I discovered with greal surprise 
and joy a brand new Blitz 2 column. I fol- 
lowed the instruction and realised there was 
an error in the listings. The listing should read

Notice the changes in lines 5 and 6. Line 
5 was WorkbenchenchToFronL, and line 6 
was WorkbenchToScreen, 

Please don't take this as a criticism as I _ 
was otherwise very impressed with your 
excellent approach to (he subjeel, but ihis 
could cause some confusion. I am looking 
forward to the coming instalments ol the 
tutorial. 

Robert Folding, Calytor 

Well what can we say, apart from thanks 
for the help. If anyone spots errors in any 
of our columns please feel free to get in 
touch and we'll put things right as soon 
as possible. 

For those who prefer the e-mail 
approach here's how to contact Amiga 
Computing on-line: 

• CompuServe: 70007.4734 

• CJX: amigacomputing 

•Internet: amigacomputing® cix.com - 
pullnk.co.uk 



Can you tell me when the CD drive tor the A4000 will 
be released and approximately how much it will be 7 

Also, could you tell me whatever happened to the 
DSP sounrt chip wuh Ihe rumoured 32 channels, 
built In sampler, etc.? This seems lo have been 
«;nored since the CQ32 was released. 

Gideon Cressweli, Maidstone 

If you're waiting for an official Commodore 
A40O0 CD -ROM. I wouldn't hold your breath. As 
ft strands. Commodore will be hard pressed to 





get their existing hardware back on-line for 

Christmas. 

As a result, its highly unlikely they'll embark 
on an official release this year, Although you've 
not mentioned it, I assume you particularly want 
a Commodore drive primarily tor the Planar 
chip and FMV avaitable on the CD32, 

If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to wait 
and see what happens to Commodore. If, how- 
ever, you simply want an A 4000 compatible CD- 
ROM it's worth getting in contact with the First 



Computer Centre. They're already selling a 
standard IDE CD-ROM with the appropriate 
installation software and connections. 
Obviously this won't offer Planar or FMV but il 
will read any ISO 9&GO CD - the Industry stan- 
dard on all formats. 

As for the DSP chip, this, like many Amiga 
rumours, has bean consigned to the vapour- 
ware cupboard. I'm afraid it will be next year at 
the earliest before you'll see a built-in DSP on 
any machine in the Amiga range - if at all.

If I may introduce myself I am Enako. a Spanish sludent. I have recently finished my 
studies of fine arts fasl year. Since then I've been working on a study of both computer 
and traditional animation - believing the luture lies in ihe former of the two, I'd appreciate 
some much needed advice. 

As I regular reader of yaur magazine 1 know you have extensive knowledge of 3D 
imagery, more traditional graphics programs and of course the all-important hardwere. 

Ivly first idea was lo develop an easy way lo produce image* via the computer. Of 
course, most artists are frightened of the technology and need to see immediate results 
to maintain any prolonged mlerest 

As I know a little more than most, this soon evolved Into Ihe idea of making a film/video 
of animation, mixing both computer and traditional animation. My aim is to produce 
the whole thing over ihe next year using drawings, my Amiga 3000 and the Opal Vision 

system. 
What I need lo know is how to transplant the computer images to film. Any information 
on video or movie produclion which uses computer technology - particularly the 
Amiga since it is a computer easily affordable for the artist - would be welcome. 
What kind of technology will come in the future? I mean, could I make and ren- 
der my scenes in virtual reality in Ihe near future? I don't need concrete 
answers, just your personal opinion. 

I have many questions to ask, but I don"l want to waste your time. So if you 
can help me, or know someone who can, I would be gratelui for any contacts 

you can off or.

Steve Calkin, Canvey Island 
Aiias the Scottish 34 Bit Club - Ed 

• eiL. I'm very happy for you. As for a review of the club it's 
-wily a case of what they offer that warrants the coverage. 

As I've already mentioned, any club that feels they offer some- 
ntnq special will certainly get a shout in the magazine. Jusl 
in. it's that simple. 



As far as creating graphics quickly Is concerned, there are literally hun- 
dreds of alternatives on the Amiga. The real question is what sort of 
images you need? 
If it's simply a case of titling or presentation graphics, packages like 
Sea la and MedlaPoint are the obvious choices, 
Although they don't provide a lot of painting tools, they do offer a means of dis- 
playing existing artwork as backdrops and clips as part of a larger overall multime- 
dia presentation. 

For example, both can combine stills and animation with Midi, laser disks, CD- 
ROMs, Canon ion cameras, sound modules and samples. 

They also have the added bonus of being interactive with the user/audience - 
something which many artists find particularly appealing. 

I realise much of the above may have raised even more questions, but if you 
simply want quick results, pretty much any paint package will do the job. 

As for your existing system, it appears you're fairly well equipped. However, if 
you're planning to expand via the mythical addons from OpalVision. I wouldn't 
hold your breath. 

The OpalVision farce has been an ongoing saga for over two years and there a 
still no sign of the Roaster chip and the other videographic goodies. Vapourware at 

its best. 

As for your query about transferring Amiga art onto video, there's a number 
options. In the past the only accurate method was to invest In a BetsCam SP edit 

recorder, 
However, recently we've seen the arrival of desktop digital video via the PAR 

card from digital processing systems. 

Not only is the quality superior, bul Its also a much cheaper alternative - even 
when fully configured with a realtime frame grabber and the essential lOE hard 

drlve/s. 

However, before investing In the PAR it's well worth catching next month s 
review of the VLab motion system. Like the PAR. this new card provides real-time 
video capture and playback in both Composite and S-VHS. 

But perhaps the best news is that the system will retail considerably cheaper 
than the PAR and doesn't necessarily require Investment in an extra hard drive. 

It remains to be seen if VLab Motion can match the usability and reliability of the 
opposition, but if it manages to come even close it may well prove an attractive 
Option for those wanting a single frame and real-time recording facility at reason- 
able cost. 

As for you plans to model In virtual reality, I'd say it S very early days. Although 
VH is beginning to make its mark as a training and research tool in medicine 
and industry, the system overheads on the Amiga are simply too high to make it 
practical. 

As for the query about additional advice, I suggest you read on and take the 
advice of an obviously very satisfied member of the 24Bit Club.

^ I am writing to ask you how to set 

J up a Star LC100 colour printer. I 

have tried the Workbencha.Q 

manual and followed the steps open 

Mfcench and select devs printers, but 

•*<-= 5 not a Star LC10Q colour printer 

Therefore, I decided to rename another 

n*5e* Star LC100 colour and then tol- 

■Md me instructions again, but still no 

"aue checked the printer cable and 

Mer but nothing seems to work. Please 

you tell me what I am doing wrong?

The files in the Dews: Printers 
drawer are called printer dri- 
vers. They allow you to print 
a dedicated printer driver. 
This means that printed output is 
utimlsed for neatness using the dri- 
■ that has been especially written for 

printer. 

However. Workbench doesn't come 
;omp(ete with a set of Star drivers, so 
rou will need to order one from Star 
Section ics- 
They will explain exactly what you 
to do and how much it will cost 
was tree as I remember). 
You can contact Star Electronics on 
XM 471111. 



Write enabled, 
protected disks 



^ I have had trouble loading 

-J KindWords 3 onto the required 

four disks and as a result I have 

■Curned Ihem as faulty and asked for 

^placements, Eventually, following my 



Ho mare 8-bit 



Vet another mined bag 

of computer worries 

comes under the 

surgeons knife in time 

for a speedy mourn 



letter dated iBth July, I did receive an 

Envelope with just two more disks. 

However, try as I might, there is no way 
l can de-crunch these two disk onto four 
working disks, because each time I follow 
the instructions I am told that the disks 
which will receive the de-crunched infor- 
mation are write protected, when in fact 
they are most definitely write enabled. 

As a result I have not been able to get 
into and use this word processing pack- 
age, it would appear that looking at the 
individual files from Workbench the pro- 
gramme does no! recognise Ihe drive 
DFO, allhough ihis is the defined drive in 
the loading instructions. 

The replacement disks have not in any 
way been tampered with, nor has the 
write protect been altered while trying to 
de-crunch the program. 

I would welcome your help in this small 
matter, as this KiodWords 3 program is 
just what I want for my A60Q and with 
your help I look forward to being able to 
load and use this programme.

Apologies for wasting pre- 



cious ACAS space with a 
CouerDisk enquiry but 1 am 
still getting a horrendous amount of 
letters and phone calls regarding this 
problem which I have explained twice 
before- This is the last time. 

In order for our disks to de-archive 
successfully we are forced to use the 
A600 version of the Format command 
as it is the only one that works on all 
Ami gas. 

There is a problem though. The A600 
Format command has a bug so that if 
the disk that the machine is booted 




DCQS 

AMIGA COMPUTING ADVICE SERVICE 



from is write protected, further disks 
that are Inserted will be understood to 
be write protected, whether they; are or 
not. 

The solution to this is to make sure 
the KindWords 3 disks are write pro- 
tected before you boot your machine. 
Please, no morel

Many thanks for your response to 
, my problems wilh Heimdail 2. I 
' tried all of your suggestions and 
have just received, from Mark Price at 
Core Design, a new sel of disks and the 
request to remove my RAM expansion. 

I have sent him a letter which sets out 
further problems E encountered, When I 



■ I recently bought the September issue of 

* Amiga Computing for ihe Spectrum 

Emulator on the CoverDisk. Since then I 

have managed to load some old Spectrum games 

nto the emulator. 

Unfortunately, when t try to save the game as a 
.shot I get a window requester stating YOU 
NEED ASL OR ARP LIBRARY. The same hap- 
pened when I tried to load the Batman game 
already on ihe disk. 

What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do 
to get them to save and load? 

W. Hepworth, Kent 



f^ The type of file requesters thai the 
fc. Spectrum emulator uses require the 

ASL or ARP libraries In order to func- 
tion, These libraries were written to improve the 
original, gaudy file requesters. If you own an 
A60Q or above machine and you used the 
installing program, there should be no prob- 
lems. 

If you have an A5Q0, ASL will not work and 
ARP was not included on the disk. You could 
look through the Libs drawers on AmlgaDOS 
disks in your collection for a copy of 
ARP. library, but if this proves fruitless send a 
letter asking (or ARP and I will send you a copy.

have installed Heimdal! 2 sev-

,_ Ok! I give up. I've edited the teams in F1GP- 

J : Ed, saved them to the disk and finally tried to 

* save the flies to executable (disk two of the 

four F1GP disks), but each time I am no! asked 

for disk two of F1GP and once the machine finds out it 

tells me that I haven'l got the required disk inserted, 

Call me thick if you want, but how do you go about 
writing lo executable? I'm 33 years old and balding;, so 
please tell me before I pull out what little hair I have left 
m frustration? Aaaaah! 

S. Ramsey, Co. Antrim 

What I Leave that hair alone. We may have 

the answer yet. First off, It would have been 

great if you could have sent me some 

details on your Amiga set-up but as you didn't 

I'll have to take a rough guess. 

Bool your Amiga with the CoverDisk containing 
FtGP-Ed and load the program up. When that has 
happened take out the CoverDisk and insert your 
FiGP disk two in the drive. Now click on Read Data 
From Executable and use the file requester to load 
up the file called flgp- 

When this has loaded, edit the teams etc and then 
press Write Data To Executable. If any screen 
requesters appear asking For another disk, just click 
on Cancel till they go away. Select the flgp file from 



the file requester and click on Okay. This should 
save the new settings to the original file. Don't for- 
get to back up the original f 1gp file first. 

And that's IL ff you own a copy of F1GP from the 
Wild, Weird and Wicked A600 pack you should 
immediately upgrade to the Latest version of FtGP- 
Ed, details of which were printed in last month's 
Amiga Computing CoverDisk pages. Hope that 
helps.

PrDtEHt no tent 

..— On getting hold of my first hart 

J drive 1 attempted to install Pretax 

4.3 from your CoverDisk. 

In no circumstances was it going 

to work so I contacted Amor who toW ma 

thai the CoverDisk was lor demo purposes 

only and would not work on the hard dnVi\ 

They suggested that I buy the full wc 
ing copy which I did, On executing HDIN- 
STALL, all the files are successfully coi 
over to the partition WORK, but thai is as 
far as it goes. 

The program will not run by clicking on 
its icon, even if I boot from hand drive and 
insert the original floppy In DFQ. I can ana 
get the program to run if I boot directly I 
floppy. 

I wrote to Amor again and they co 
only suggest l hat there was some"! 
wrong with my startup files and that 
should remove them one at a time until 
solved the problem. 

This I have tried and still the prograr 
crashes every lime I click on its icon. The 
configuration setup is correct so that 
(he problem. Any suggestions? 

V. Storey. No: 

CWow! You have been pul 
through the wringer. The 
CoverDisk version of Pretext wiB 
install to hard drive but it was probably 
a wise decision to upgrade to the fully 
working version. 

Why it's not working is another matter 
and one that seems quite confusing. ! 
would imagine it is probably an error ir 
the HDINSTALL. although if such an 
error existed Amor would have probably 
known about it. 

You could try copying the program to 
your hard drive manually by using a 
directory manager program such as SID 
2 or Directory Opus. 

You could then add an assign into 
your startup-sequence by doing the fol- 
lowing. From the CLI type; 



ti i:stirt-j|r-srque!Kf 



Just before the Loadwb command add 
the following commands: 



HHiijn : Hint: 



As an example, suppose Protest was in 
a drawer called Pretext in the WORK 
partition and the Pretext disk was called 
PROTXT1 you would type: 



assign PIDHT: kDH:Prpl(it 



You could then save the new startup- 
sequence by pressing Esc, x and then 
Return. 

If this doesn't work write in again, 
but this time explain the crash in more 
detail and any requesters that may 
appear.

he has held a little bit back, Even 




where image maps have been limited or 
scenes set up with groupings in awkward 
places, the models themselves are of a con- 
sistently high quality and lake only a little edit-

scene you like. 

As an educational aid on how to put good 
models together without over complicating 
things, the package would sell itself, but as 
there are so many top-quality creations of

biplanes to kitchen ulensils) you'd be mad not 
to give this one a whirl,

This is a pity, as some of the models from other pro-

There are those, such as the ubiquitous NCC-1701, 
which we've all seen a million times before, but others 
are more original, such as the ralher gruesome 3D 
scene set up to exactly match the last few seconds ot 
John F Kennedy's life. 

The latter is a new departure lor the Americans,, who

NOVEMBER 1994 



GRAPHICS 



There's a lot more to ImageFX 2.0 than I had room to 
cover hare. I haven't even touched on Cmemorph. 
which allows you to create high-qualily single- image or 
animation morphs. 

Of on the lull ARescx interface, with dozens ol pre- 
-n macros, which adds even more image - and 
toatch-processing capabilities. Or on CMYK support, 
region loading and saving, or auto-cropping 

ImageFX has the best memory- handling of any 
Amiga image-processing program - not only does it 



colour effects, such as- colour-lo-grey, solar 
ne. negative, ere: plus a tew bonuses such 
as halftone (nine types, including special 
brush and alpha channel options) and antique. 
Filter operations include colour limiting, anti- 
aliasing, video filtering, and median filtering. 

The Convolve option allows you to do oper- 
ations such as sharpening, edge-detection, 
motion- blurs, or relief maps ot the current 
image - Ifs even possible to create your own. 
You can composite pictures, using both the 
swap buffer and an alpha channel. Image 
transformations now include not only Hip, mir- 
ror, roll, and shear, but also fantastic two- 
dimensional and three-dimensional perspec- 
irve rotations thai are much faster than those 
found in Amiga paint programs- 
Distort operations include alpha-channel 
and wave distortion, swirling, pinch/punch, 
polar blur and mosaic, and spherize. 

The Dream distortion is a particularly nice 
effect for use in animations. It creates a wavy, 
swirling effect, similar to what you often see 
on low-budget television shows when a char- 
acter moves in or out of a dream sequence. 
All of these effects are completely adjustable 
in intensity. 

The real fun, though, comes under the 
Special Effects menu, There are 12 menu but- 
tons here, hut you'll actually find hundreds ol 
special eflects available to you, 

The classic ImageFX Remove Feature 
(remove everything in a selected region by 
pulling the edges together) and Oil Transfer 
(makes the Image look like an oil painting), as 
well as Disperse and Roughen, are found 
here. 

Apply Texture lets you map a texture 
behind your graphic to make it appear as if it's 
actually been painted on another surface. 

Dozens of lectures are included, such as 
bond paper, granite, libers, sidewalk, tile, stuo 
co. iree bark, leather, and woodgrain, or you 
can creale your own in a painl program. 

Straw makes it appear as if your painting 
was drawn on coloured si raw - it's a weird 
effect, hut interesting. Crysiallize is very 



work well even in a system with fragmented memory, 
but it has built-in virtual -memory support for working 
with large files, even on systems without memory-man- 
agement unils. 

Online AmigaGuide help brings answers (and full 
ARoxx programming documentation) at a press ol the 
Help key, And available documentation for ImageFX's 
operators and loaders means third parlies will continue 
lo extend the program's capabilities - some modules, 
such as a PhotoCD loader, are already availabie. 





ImagnFX'x preforming** 



impressive - depending on ihe grid size, per- 
turbation and sparkle amounts you choose. It 
can make your image look as if it's being 
viewed, through a jewel, or as if Iff actually 
made out of coloured crystals. 

Next is a series of lighting effects, and 
these can result in some ol the most dramatic 
effects of any image- processing program. 
These effects not only place impressive stars 
and lens Hares on your image, but they also 
affect the brightness of pixels around them. 

So if you place a bright star effect next to 
an aircraft image, the fuselage around the 
exploding Hare will be realistically brightened 
as If an actual flare had exploded next to it. 

This is particularly impressive when using 
the lightning effect - you can adjust the area 
around the lighlning bolt so thai it "lights up" 
as well- 
Lightning is fully adjustable and variable. 
By varying Ihe bolt slightly over the Irames of 
an animation you can create some very real- 
istic lightning effects. 

TILING 

Next, there's Hackney tiling, a completely 
controllable tiling effect that's uselul for creat- 
ing explosive wipes. Finally, there's PaintFX 

If you've ever seen Fractal Painter on 
Windows or the Macintosh, you've probably 
been impressed by the program's ability to 
reproduce realistic painting styles. 

PaintFX lets you choose a brush stroke 
and have it applied to an already completed 
■image, allowing you to automatically create 
Painter- like effects. You can choose simple 
stroke brushes, or complex IFF brushes for 
lruly weird effects. 

Speaking of painting, ImageFX 2-Q is no 
slouch in thai department either. You won't 
want to use it as your primary paint program 
- working on the preview screen is a bit awk- 
ward, although it's been made much less so 
than in previous releases. 

You can lock the aspect ratio of the pre- 
view screen so thai it matches the original 
picture, and work on HAM8 or high-colour 
preview screens, 

Almost all operations have been speedod 
up, particularly the airbrush, which now oper- 
ates in real -lime and has an adjustable 
radius, nozzle size, and roughness. 

There are now a wide variety ol drawing 
modes. Some emulate natural-media: water- 
colour, crayon, charcoal, chalk, felt tip, and 
tinge rpaint. 

Others affect colours already there: 
smudge, disperse, relief, add, sharpen, blur, 
value, saturation, hue, colour, lighten, darken, 
and colourize. 

There are also a variety ol styles, some of 
which allow you to combine your picture 



wilh another in the swap buffer. TheJ 
include maximum, minimum, fade out anc r 
mandate, pantograph, trace through, and rA 
through, 

when drawing, you can choose lo haJ 
the brush edges feathered out or in, or a-* 
aliased. I wouldn'1 use ImageFX to creal 
images from: scratch, bul I certainly wou» 
suggest it for changing mundane art into tm 
surreal and fantastic, 

Placing text on your image has been ma* 
much easier. Multiple lines of text can ngw a 
crnntad simultaneously, and you can ever 
load and sava short text files directly inl 
text requester. 

All of the draw modes can be applied « 
text, so you can, for instance, use text to rjj 
through lo an underlying image. SI mild 
effects- can be created with brush images. 

ImageFX now supports multiple brushes 
which can easily be swapped back and for^ 
Irom a brush list. It also supports loading J 
different graphic lormais, from the comma 
to the esoteric. 

Actually, one of the supported formats * 
the AmigaDOS 3.0 DalaTypes library, so 
you have DataTypes for additional form, 
installed on your system, they're support 
as well. 

There are only 27 savers, omitting so 
formats, but realistically you're probably na| 
going lo be using your Amiga to creati 
images in MacPaint or Koala formals. 

You can also grab screens and brushe 
from the system directly into ImageFX 
program also supports MAGIC, a 24' 
image-sharing standard thai is adopted 
others which will allow multiple applications 
open and work on a single image buffer. 

Finally, ImageFX can directly grab ima< 
from scanners and frame grabbers, it si 
ports Epson scanners, the PPS 
Framegrabber and Framegrabber 256, ■ 
1V24 frame grabber, VLAB, and the Sha*t 
JX-1Q0. 

Although its input features are strong 
the latest beta I examined, printing wa 
ImageFX's only weak point. It doesn't had 
the plethora of printing controls and postej 
creation abilities lound in ASDG's fi 
Department Professional. 

On the plus side, ihough, it does includi 
full-leatured drivers for outpulting 
PostScript or the Primera dye-sublimatkji 
colour printer. £&

A here is a great need for products like 

I his. If you've ever been subjected to 

^■^ a viewing of someone else's home 

i.*c you wili know this. Wobbly visual 

ji weddings, birthdays and holidays, 

tmse rambling tapes I urn our biggest days 

i catalogues of boredom, 

?ast now, wilh Ihe help of Hama A~Cu1, 
can scrap the irrelevant dross and start 

i some structure into your videos. 
« A-Cu( turns your Amiga into an editor 
jse with most video types including VHS- 
. VWS-S Of Hl-B. it is suitable for all players 
•yave a Control-L interface, meaning thai 
i be u&ed with most machines in practice 
Wat you gel is a control unit, an infrared 
controller and the all important A-Cul 
ire. Despite all the leads, setting il up is 
?. with the help of the good quality instruc- 
3-s supplied. 

Aihough it doesn't exactly look like £200, 

* control unit is sturdily designed with a few 

■asanliy simple controls.The source player 

mugged directly into the control unit where- 

■ »» recorder is operated by remote control.. 

means, that the A-Cut must be adju- 

eo to match the infrared system code ol (he 

order, Thankfully this can be done auto- 

illy via the program without too much of 

»cn?Wsm. 

Once the A-Cul has been configured, the 

»r is presented with the interface. Large 

ear icons make operating the editor a simple 

atter, with prompts to guide you through 

> complicated procedures, 
~he beginner is well catered for wilh an on- 
-■= help facility giving explanations on every 
xs&ble command or function. This is the sort

Great potential 



of .detail that gives the package an air of 
professionalism.. 

When it comes to selecting clips- from the 
source tape, any number of scenes can 
be defined. To get professional results, accu- 
rate single frame editing is possible if the 
connected player features RC time code. 

The time code display on the A-Cut Inter- 
face is the same as you would find in a profes- 
sional editing suite, giving the user a point ol 
reference right down lo a specific Irame. 

Vital tor any would-be eriiior. the jog Bhutto 
is the most convenient method of finding spe- 
cific frames accurately. Unfortunately, this was 
the one area in which the equipment was dis- 
appointing. 

The shuttle's inner ring is fine when il 
comes to the frame-by-frame viewing ol film. 
However, it only works al one speed so if fails 
to give the level of control that il should over 
slow-motion speeds. This is a serious com- 
plaint considering its importance in an edilmg 
unit. 

Much better is A-Cul's edit list which aitows 

you to log each shot by a name with its 

respective time-code reading. This means that 

clips can be organised and found efficiently, 

Clips can be assembled from different 



From the moment you open the instructions, this product shows unusual class. At 
fftifi price you may think lhat a pood manual can be taken for granted, hut anyone 
who's torn their hair over Hi-fi instructions wiil know otherwise. 

The well-planned Interface makes defining the required scenes simple. With some 
guidance from the help facility, beginners should be able to become fully-fledged 
editors within an hour or so. 

It's a shame lhat such a well-designed package should be let down by an inade- 
quate jog shuttle; this problem will have to be resolved if the A-Cut is to perform as 
well as it should. Otherwise the unit works very well, giving the potential for some 
surprisingly professional results. It could have been cheaper, but A-Cut is well worth 
considering for the serious amateur or a budget business project. 

Buy one of these and you might start making videos that are actually worth watch- 
ing. Then you can start learning to hold the camera straight. 



•I— 




videos, although this will involve some fiddling 
since care must be taken to rewind each tape 
back to ihe beginning after each cassette 
change, 

Once an edit list has been compiled it can 
be previewed, allowing the user to check all 
clips prior to recording. The film can ce 
restructured at this stage since clips can be 
shifted or copied elsewhere m the edil lest 

For the Amiga enthusiast, an ARexx inter- 
face has been provided so that A-Cut can 
communicate with other programs supporting 
the language. This means thai a video film 
can be produced with a title program in a sin- 
gle operation while editing. 

Those wilh more technical experience may 
also find the optimisation facilities useful Most 
people, however, need not worry about this as 
Ihe default settings seem perfectly adequate

Part 3 



adgets have been by far the most 

brilliant invention of any intuition 

system. Whether it is Workbench 

Amiga or Windows lor the PC, you 

id* t see a single program for sale without 

erne gadgets. 

Bu! why are they 50 popular? Well gad- 

?ks are by far the most interactive tool to 

.nd in workbench. With Ihem you can 

ate user input, display information or have 

•cur own logos and designs on screen, and 

M ihjs comes with such relative ease thai 

*nost puts you Ic sleep. 

So how do we do il? The first ihirtg that 

should know aboul gadgets in Blitz is 

tm they are handled in groups. A group is 

'-*« up of a window full of gadgets - i.e. 

ri gadgets relating to the gaihenng/display- 

rq ol information for one purpose. 

in example of such a. group would be for 

■base file where one group of gadgets 

I used to lake name and address informa- 

•»on from the user. 

The easiest way to group gadgets is to 

"rTiember that they can only be used in 

mndows and only one group of gadgets 

■ ne assigned per window, After you 



have decided which gadgets you need and 
for what purpose, you can then continue 
with the declaring of them, Yes, that's right, 
Gadgets are jusl like menus in the sense 
that they need to be declared before they 
can be used. 

This is how we do it. A typical 
Textgadgef is as below: 

ft1ljad3.it 0,10,10, A, VHeUd there ! ' 

II you check your relerence manual. 

Chapter 26-1, you can see that the first 
number is the group id number, or as Blitz 
calls them "GadgetLisls". 

After that follows ihe X,Y coordinates 
which are both relative to the lop-left corner 
of Ihe window in which they wilt be used. 

Then follows ihe flag parameter which is 
used lor extra functions, which can be seen 
on the table on the same page. 

I have currently set this to zero which 
makes the gadget a plain text ga.dg.et. bul If 
I had made it equal to one then it could be 
toggled on and off by the user. 

After that is the gadget's own id number 
so that we can identify the gadget itself and 



V£S

Gadgets and GadtoolS: 
Are thBM compatible? 



in a word, yes. if you are having problems with getting those old gadgets to work with the 
- ew ones then don't despair as help is at hand. 

In the last issue I mentioned about subscribership to the Blilz User Magazine with con- 
tinual updates 10 the Blitz language. Well., if you are a subscriber then you should have 
'eceived issue number six. 

On the new libs included on the disks are some extensive updates to the gadgets' and 
jadgtools' libraries, making them almost completely compatible. 

Therefore, if you are experiencing difficulties with gadgets and gadtools and you are 
not a subscriber, write in straight away to: Blitz User Magazine Subscription, Guildhall 
Leisure Services, Unit 15. Gusidhalt Industrial Estate. Kirksandait. DoncasterDN3 1QR

the text which appears inside the gadget. 

After you have declared all your gadgets 
you are ready to start using ihem. which 
couldn't be simpler as all you have to do is 
to extend the window command by one 
more parameter - this is the gadget lisl id 
number which tor the gadget above would 
be zero, 

Here's an example to demonstrate. First 
of all we need all the usual things for 
Workbench compaiability

Now let's define Our gadget:

and Open Our window as the active window 

with our gadget attached: 

WinocN (1,1211, 711, ZDMD, "QUO, 'H) Hindon", 1,2,0 

We can use the Events system, as used in 
the last tutorial, to wail for the user to press 
our gadget This can be done by wasting for 
the value $20: 






Repeat 
evzlfaitErtni 






As you can see we can also check to see 
which gadget was hit by using 'GadgetHif 
Now we ilisI close down:

how easy it is to produce an inter active

window with gadgets in only twelve lines

Hadgvtm Simpler thmn btittaiirta ta**tl 



My Window 




C l i c k on ne to Qu it ! | 



By now you should have noticed how the 
grouping system of gadget lists works and 
how you can see which gadget was hit by 
using the id number, 

if you have two windows open and you 
have one gadget list for each then don't 
worry, because you can still lind out which 
window the gadget came from. 

You can do this by using the 
EventWindow command which tells you the 
id number of the window. Then you can 
check the gadgel in Ihe same way as above 
and you'll know which gadget was used 
from which list, by knowing which lisl was 
assigned to which window. 

The gadget just used is one of the four 
basic gadgets which the Amiga 500 sup- 
ported, the olhers being: Shape Gadget, 
String Gadget and Slider Gadget. 

But rl you own an Amiga 1200 then you'll 
almost delinitely know about theGadtools 
extension to the old gadgets, bringing 
almost complete flexibility to your programs. 

GadTools are just as easy lo use as 
Gadgets. You declare ihem ai ihe begin- 
ning just like menus and gadgets and you 
can even put them In ihe same Gadgel list 
as normal Gadgels. 

The difference comes in attaching them 
to a window. You si ill put the Gadgel List 
parameter at the end of the window com- 
mand but you also need to add another 



fietrieuing 
information 



I 



command after you have opened your 
window. 

This command is.:AtlachGlU$t. This com- 
mand has two parameters - GaogetLisl Id 
number and Window Id number. So if we 
had some GadTools in the previous pro- 
gram we would add the following line after 
opening our window: 

MtathStLiit 0,3 

Now let's actually add some GadTools to 
our program. Remember you can only pro- 
ceed with this section if you have an Amiga 
600 or higher. Workbench compataWe: 



YhStartup

UbTolsrewi C

BY.L=Q 



Now let's define our gadgel and gadtool: 

TittGidget 11,20,18,0,1, "Click tt, *t to Unit! - 
iTTt.t C,r,20,20,t«Q,1V,D,"l«s ^ *" !»*« bMl' 

and open our window as the active window 
with our gadgetlist attached: 

tints* U,l2C,7(l,2aO^O,*10ilQ, h IIJ li«<W",1,I # 
attach our GadTool: 




in the original gadgets there is only one major gadgel 
which can gather information from Ihe user and this is 
the StringGadgel. The string gadgel has an area of 
memory dedicated lo receiving information from the 
user when he/she uses thai gadget. 

There are several options which you have in control- 
ling these gadgets, ranging from pre-setting the con- 
tents of this gadgel to clearing them completely, as well 
as being able to read the contents. 

Here is a quick lisl of the commands to hand: 

tlwrltrfif. 

It tit ring 
luttftrinj 

(See Ret. Manual Chapter 26-6 onwards for parameters.) 
If you wanted to pre-set the siring with a response 
you can do this with iheSetString command, whereas it 
you wanted the StringGadget cleared before the user 
uses it then this can be done with ClearString. 

There is one thing to note about StringGadgets, and 
that is they have to be activated before the usef can 
enter information into them, This is normally done when 
the user clicks on the gadget with the mouse and is 
shown by a cursor which appears in the gadget. 

But if you wanted lo ask the user a question and then 
make him/her write the response in the gadget, you can 



do this with the ActivateString command and then wait 
until he presses -return (Event code 64), 

To retrieve the response that was entered into ihe 
gadget into a string variable, you use the StringTetfS 
command detailed in Chapter 26-5. 

Information from GadTools can be retneved in almosl 
the same way by using GTGetStnrig to retrieve informa- 
tion from GTStnngs and by using GTGetlnieger to 
retrieve information from GTintegers. 

The only other information retrievable from 
a GadTool Is one of its tags, as explained in B,U.M.#5. 
by using GTGetAltrs. Here is the syntax for the 
GadTool retneval commands as I don't Ihink they are 
documented anywhere: 



Stfhgi-GfSltJtringUadjdLisUdS 
VI I 'IT GHlit tit 1 ( tti)t lit It, Wl 
UiL=trEetAttrs(&tdgE!LUt, 14,1*91 



Well ii's time for me to say goodbye but don't forget, 
keep practicing and try out as many gadgets as you 
can, as only practice will make you confident enough to 
keep going. 

In the next issue I will start on ihe firsl part of a 
WorkBench compatible program, using all the informa- 
tion I've fried to cram into your heads ta the last thrse 
issues, including this one.

HELP is at hand 



If you have any questions that yc 
need addressing from reading ih 
column then you can write to Micha- 
Milne h Blitzing on the Amiga, c

you are using and any periferals yc

then we wait (or ihe user to press our 
mal gadgel by waiting for the event 
520 and ctose down: 

Repeal

End 

And as well as showing the simpiici 
GadTools this also demonstrates the 
plele comparability that the B.U.M. 
update brings between Gadg* 
and GadTools.

Unfortunately there is one minor probJe 
with GadTools, and thai is (hat you 
use events lo lell you when a GadTool 
been pressed (i.e. Event = $20does 
work). 

So the only way around this is to 
until the GadgelHit command returns 
right GadTools id number instead of wa 
Ing for the event code. 

in a way this can be used to your ac 
tage in the sense that if you have a gad 
list of both gadgets and gadtools mi* 
together, you can determine whether or | 
an old gadget was used if an Evenl ol 
Is returned. If not then you know thai I 
GadTools was probably used.

Jk ake two stereotypes - I he typical 
I exercise fanatic as perceived by 
^•^ the general populous. A heallh 
ssnscious, active and thoroughly body- 

» ~ed individual who likes the outdoors, 
tics high fibre food and believes that their 
soOes are indeed temples. 

The commonly perceived computer nul 
laugh is decidedly health ignorant, inactive 
seer than the stabbing motion of fingers on 

= .::iard and believe thai their bodies are 
jMually the equivalent of a Salisbury's TV 
er 

These extremes are changing; as. we 
sc*ak, as more and more people from all 
«i <s ol life realise thai computers can 
wake life much easier but, when confronted

Memmgly alien-lo-eaeh-ether hobbies still 
m m the mind somewhat. 

Heart Track, to tho initiated, is a utility to 
"wp monitor that vital organ's activities dur- 
r^ exercise. To the uninitiated, the heart is 
i sump-like vessel situated slightly to the 
«fi on your torso. Opening the box reveals a 
ingle disk,, a chest band, a transmitter and 
reiver. 

The process is simple. Attach the trans- 
mitter to the Chest band and put it round 
pour rippling torso, plug the receiver into the 
Amiga, load in the software and you're in 
aossession of a package thai senses EGG 
tignals. 

The transmitter captures Ihese and sends 
lo the receiver, which in turn pumps 
in to (he program to be displayed on 
n for your delight. Thai's it. 

Well, almost. Also included is a foam 
- . jp that apparently (although it's, not clear 
■ all) attaches to the handle of an exercise 
: -e or other contraption which then allows 
fou. I assume, lo fix the receiver onto this

with a Velcro band lor a more consistent 
signal The whole affair is just a touch 
flimsy and. as far as I can see, pretty 
redundant. 

The program itself offers an extremely 
simple -to -use system, mainly due to the 
fact there really isn't that much to it. If you 
just want a general hnart reading, pressing 
on start begins the monitoring. 

For the more serious users, schedules 
can be crealed which cover I he four basic 
areas of framing — warm-up. work, rest and 
warm down. 

By adjusting the time Of each and the 
desired heart minimum and maximum lim- 
its, the computer keeps a track of each ses- 
sion, providing the user with a countdown 
and a warning alarm when you step oul of 
the predefined heart parameters. 

Once the exercise session is completed, 
a graph can be called up detailing, via 




colour coding, your heart rate during each 
stage of your workout. These results can 
be saved or primed oul for future reference 
and for Charles Atlas "before" and "after" 
comparisons later on. 

RANGE 

Due lo the Fact the whole thing is wired 
into the Amiga, it's hardly the most portable 

of devices. It's range is a rather limited four 
feel but can be increased through the use 
of an additional Infrared system that 
expands ihe range up lo ten feet, 

While being ideal for running on the spot 
and multi-gym work, lor the more active 
punter this is obviously limiting. 

Heart Track sets out to do a simple lask 
and achieves its goal very effectively, but 
the real question is whether the package is 
really worth £95. 

The average price of a wrist watch 
with the same facilities but minus the 
hefty equipment is around the same price 
bracket, give or take five pounds. 

Because of itiis, it's hard to recommend 
something that at the end ol the day 
doesn't offer the versatility and portability 
essential to the all-round sports person, On

PROGRAMMING 




A^^^ MQS users all around the world 

■ will no doubt have been feeling 

\^jr rattier dejected just lately. Francois 

s not given much thought to the product 
re Europress have had to put a halt on 
« developments, 

'-lis has led to other languages stealing 

i limelight away from the package that 
mcB ruled supremo. 

■:, not losl though, There are still thou- 
ands of dedicated AMOS users and, while 
* sizeable user base remains, third-party 
*velopers will continue to cater for Iheir 

Mfe, 

One such company is the Ayr based T- 

.vhtx alter several months of develop- 

have released Iheir official Liberator 

nslcn - a product thai releases AMOS 

many ot the constraints (hat bind it- 

tn short, it enables AMOS to access over 

'•■20 functions from 47 Commodore and 
"-ifd-party libraries, Unfortunately this 
■neans that you will not know where to start, 

The possibilities are endless. Wilh 
ireess to the Intuition, Dos, Req and 
RBxxhosl libraries, you will be knocking up 
■our own system-legal utilities in no time at 
■ft 

SUPPORT 

Further more, because Liberator provides 
import for the Intuition library, the program 
:an open up its own window upon the 
vnrga's Workbench screen and multitask 
;-;jperly. Something that was simply not 
possible until now. 

That Is not the end of it. Liberator is com- 
patible with all Commodore library calls, 
refueling those available in version 3.1 of 
f* operating system. 

Those that have a data burst cache 
:etween their earlebes will realise Ihat ihis, 
::upled with the Intuition support, means 
AGA compatibility. Well almost, 

With Liberator installed it is possible to 
2pen up your own AGA screen from within 
AMOS. But unfortunately, because of the 
■»n OS friendly manner in which AMOS 
-andies screens, you will not be able to use 
any of ihe commands lhal display text, 
graphics. Sprites or Bobs. 

However, you could establish your own 
j ewporl and display images in 256 colours 
s even HamS. Useful if you wanted to write 

- GIF or Jpeg viewer in AMOS, 
The commands that access the library 

unctions are almost identical to those used 
n C and other high-level languages, but 
~ere is one advantage, 

Because you are programming in the 
AMOS environment you also benefit from 
re editors syntax checking, something thai 

- programmars would love. 
Lets say that you wanted to utilise the file 



liberated 
society; 



Ho matter horn hard people tru. they — 

can't seem tn nail the lid down on — 

RR18S. Andrew Beeieu looks at a — 

product that promises to hreath a hit — 

of life bach into the ailing language. -

with Lrbi-r.-iltrr 



requester from the ASL library. Once you 

had set up an array to hold the parameters 
required by the function call, you would 
type: 

rU6*Ht£Ml 

In the above example, REO holds the 

address of the parameter array and, if suc- 
cessful, FILE returns a TRUE value that 
points to the file name chosen by the user. 

It you were to write Ihe same line in C 
you might type: 




filteutrwMtiuttEM} 

As you can see the two are quite similar. 



I| — 




The besl is still yet lo come. Close to 
completion is an upgrade for Liberator 
called OrgAsm (which stands for 
ReGRGanised ASseMbler) a really 
exciting utility that turns GUI's, created 
with GadTootsBox, Into a form suitable 
for use with Liberator. 

For those that do not know, 
GadToolsBox is a shareware develop- 
ment tool thai allows you to design your 
own front-ends in a very easy and 
intuitive manner. 

Having designed your GUI. GadTools 
will then create the source cods that 
sets up and communicates with your 
user Interface. 

When released it will cost £2.50. as 
will all further updates to Liberator. 
which among other things will include 
an AMOS Professional version, 



Liberator's documentation is supplied as an 
Amiga Guide file and provides you with all 
Ihe necessary information concerning its 
installation and use. 

Instructions concerning all the various 
function calls are not supplied. However, 
you are told where to get hold of the 
Commodore Aulodocs and an address is 
given for a PD library that can supply Amiga 
Guide documents for all the third-party 
libraries. 

Learning how to use library function calls 
is not all that difficult, especially if you have 
already gained a good knowledge ol pro- 
gramming in AMOS, 

LEARNING 

On the other hand, beginners will no 
doubl find a learning curve ahead of them. 
Although, as the programmer says. "This 
learning process is what keeps us addicted 
to the greal Amiga, so don't despairil" 

Liberator is one ol the most exc 
releases that AMOS has seen in a long 
lime. I cannot see it convincing those of us 
that have already moved onto olher lan- 
guages, such as C, to switch our allegiance 
back to AMOS, but il wilt certainly brighten 
up the lives of those who have stuck wilh 
this legendary programming package. £&

t one lime, colour font applications 
were expensive bul these days you 
can pick up capable packages at rea- 
prices. 2 Many Fonts is cheaper than 
commercial offerings in this area, but at 
it's not exactly a snip. So is it worth i1 ? 
Over 100,000 eolourfont combinations!" me 
boast on the front of tine box, a claim 
ipressive but perhaps misleading. In 
this means lhat the usor gets ten type 
which can be combined with 205 seam* 
• ! patterns. 
tsvertheless there is ample room Tor export- 
ation, especially considering 2. Many 
is used in conjunction with paint pro- 
like DPainl or Brilliance, 
jetting started could have been easier. The 
aging is cheap and the introduction 
al is pul together in a ralher shoddy man- 
I'd have hoped for more considering the 
Furthermore, we'd recommend manual 
ition if you're planning to use a hard disk 
« typefaces themselves aren't too impres- 
Too many of them look like Ich-overs From 
= album covers - no! too useful if you're 1

i *rth which to create your till patterns, These

With a name like E Many Fonts, 
here's a package that promises a tot — 
Bobs it really offer tantalising titles 
or is it just another font package? 
Qareth iofthouse investigates — 

as quick and easy as it could have been. 

Once font and brush styles have been 
selected, it basically becomes a matter of 
knowing your way round your paint package 
well. Beginners might therefore struggle 
thankfully there's a helpline you can phone. 

VARIATIONS 

The manual gives some examples of the 
sort of variations that can be created by 
using, for example, DPainl. The font appear- 
ance can be altered by revising a brush, or by 
adding thicker edges creating a bevelled 
effect. 

Once typed, a title can be picked up as a 
brush and dragged several pixels along, cre- 
ating an effect similar to a 3D extruded title. 



I Many Fonts could have been a welcome addition to anyone's software collection if it 
-ad come at the right price. As a source of textured fonts il is a good enough product, 
offering a wide choice of brushes lo enhance a title's appearance. 

The trouble is, that's about all it amounts to. When it comes to playing around with the 
tools, it's a matter of reaching for your DPaint tutorials. 

This raises the point thai you could design any of these fonts and brushes in DPaint or 
Brilliance yourself wilh the aid of some PD colour font packs, SO unless you're very short 
of tmne the advantage of using 2 Many Fonts seems small considering the cost. 

It's not going to make things a whole lot easier tor the beginner either. A sub-slandard 
•rplanatory manual and awkward implementation creates some confusion, even for those 
tarroliar with the ins and outs of their paint program. 

If cash isn't a problem and your looking for a collection ol pre-designed till -textures, 2 
Many Fonts should be considered. Images are ol sufficient quality to use at, say, the tow 
•nd of the video market. For most people, though, its not worth the asking price, Offering 
B&e more than the cheaper alternatives, 2 Many Fonts costs too many pennies. 



Thtt map taxfurai nttovc aire the bait of thm bunch 



fonts 



Fonls can also be given shadows using 

DPaint. These are a few examples of the van- 
aliens that can be made, but Mediascapn 
can't take much credit in this respect. These 
enhancements rely entirely on your use of the 
paint package. 

Initially 2 Many Fonts, with its range of 
colour typefaces, may seem like good value. 
However, the fact that there are PD cotourfont 
packages available ranging from £5 to £15 
puts things into a different perspective. 

Wilh PD software ottering hundreds ol clip 
fonts and the ability to edit them, it is hard to 
see how 2 Many Fonts can justify its relatively 
high cost. £jf

TUTORIAL 




with 



amiga 



ease 



Steue White opens the door to treating — 

your own installation scripts in our guide — 

to using the official Commodore Installer — 



To use Installer you are expected to license with Commodore USA- However, with the 
problems Commodore are having at present, it would probably be considered fairly safe 
to use the product without a license agreement. 

Amiga Computings license agreement was never returned but we ^ Installer any- 
how. However, the decision lo use the installer is purely yours and Amiga Computing 
cannot be held responsible for any breaches of the license agreement by readers. 



-MB 



p unfit recently the Amiga has 
never had its awn totally dedicated 
installation program, and in the 
past hard drive owners have had lo wrestle 
with AmigaDOS script files, programs thai 
shut oul the Workbench environment, insiala- 
lion procedures where flexibility goes oul of 
Ihe window and many programs thai are 
installable, provided the user does it by hand. 
Fortunaiery, Commodore came to the res- 




cue by developing an installation program that 
could be programmed by anyone, was lolally 
flexible and could function quile happily from 
Workbench. 

This program - Installer - is now used 
by most software developers, although 
game developers continue lo neglect its 
advantages. 

What this tutorial aims to achieve is to 
teach you how to use Ihe language and apply 
il to your programs. However, I will not be 
concentrating solely on hard drive users, as 
Installer is quite capable ol installing software 
to another floppy disk. 

In order lo follow this tutorial you will need 
to own an Amiga running Workbench 2.0 or 
higher. Obviously, you will need to apply ihe 



Now we've got that oul of the way, let's take a look at 
the language. The language otters different proce- 
dures for installing different lypes ol file. General Tiles, 
libraries and fonts all have different routines which 
make installation more intuitive. 

Each routine has its own associated commands 
applicable to the typa of file being Installed. This 
means that you can break up your installation scripts 
into easily readable modules, which makes debug- 
ging a hell of a lot easier. 

What we'll do now is take a look at a particular rou- 
tine and take a look at its associated commands. 

As an example routine, we will be looking at the 
one which Installs libraries. I will show the routine and 
trsen describe each function individually. 

If certain functions are missing, the Installer will 
show a compile error. These functions will be labelled. 

(proip", "lllftlUifli dis.klDiit.libr*rjr t» lIWi") 

(help JfopyLo-^.p!- 

(murcE "tiisdisifont.llBfirfl 

<5>lt "UBS:") 

(nojiitgct 
Lef s take a look al each command to see what they 



actually do. 



( cop }' Li t 




This tells Installer that the routine that follows should 
be understood as a library routine. We don't end the 
copylib function with parenthesis ) until we have fin- 
ished the entire routine. 

droit t ■iflitiUir.g diitfoix. Library to LIB]:': 

This function merely tells the user what is going on. If 
you don't want to display a message simply type 
prompt "". Both parenthesis are included (} because 
this function is classed as an independent command. 
Prompt must always be present, 

thus ieopy Mo-he Lpl 

Installer has certain in-buill help pages which are dis- 
played when you click on the Help burton on the main 
Installer interface. If you wish to add your own help 
text you can, but I will be explaining this process later 
on. Help must always be present.

Parti 



techniques you learn in this series yoursel 
as I cannol write example scripts dedicate 
to software which I know nothing about 

There will be plenty of examples, bj 
these will be purely for demonst 
purposes. 

You should copy the Installer progran 
found in the C: directory of Amm 
Computing Cower Disks into Ihe C: director 
of your hard drive or floppy disk. 

Installer was created by Commodore as j 
tool for hard drive owners and floppy owner 
to install software with the minimum amour 
of fuss. It allows total control over installatio 
procedures, offering the user a friendly inter 
face to work with in a familiar environmeni ■ 
Workbench. 

It Is this flexibility lhal makes Installer 






This tolls installer which file it is that you want t 
install, it is always best to first copy everything 
wish to install into Ram as Ram is faster and also 
eradicates multiple disk swapping. Source must 
always be present. 

This tells Installer where the source file should be 
copied to. This must be a valid assign or path name 
Dest must always be present. 

(sonlini 

Confirm requires you lo okay the copying process bf 
clicking the Proceed button, In the case of libra 
confirm will inform you if you already have that partic- 
ular library in the LIBS: directory. 

It will also infonn you of the version number of the 
library being installed and the one that is already 
present,

Whenever a file is copied a blue bar appears indicat- 
ing the progress of the copying process. You can 



TUTORIAL

lowsver. once Ihe actual functions have 

understood, more time can be spent 

-•aking sure Ihe parenthesis are correct 

;nce Ihese have been mastered, the 

i language becomes much dearer. 

%e parenthesis control the functions in 

the same way as parenthesis in 

nahcal equations - that is to say that 

tmount or open brackets *(' must be 

Ay matched by the amount of dose 

jts ')' and vice versa. This is where 

t of the errors creep in. 

tow is an example Installer script- This 

■npte's main function is to show the use

ig of ihe routines and their associated 

fMOons as a reference. 

5 now lake a look al another form of copying, 

ifene on files. Take a look at the sample and 

en explain what each function does 







via Installer, ihere are certain tiles that are 
needed Apart from the actual Installer pro- 
gram, you also need the installation script file 
and an icon which when double-clicked 
loads and then directs Installer to your senpt. 

The icon must be a Project and musl be 
attached to your script file. For example, let's 
imagine you had created a script file called 
InstallMyProg. You would save the Project 
icon as InstallMyProg. info lo the same 
directory. 

With ihe icon complele, you then need lo 
direct it to Installer. Clicking once on the 
icon, select Informalion from the Icons menu 
on Workbench and where it reads Default 
Tool: type in Ihe path of the Installer - say 
MyDisk:cVlrv5taJler as an example. 

Add a new Tool Type to the icon and type 



m: 



AWNME^'Prog 



The Appname Tool Type is needed by Installer 
when it pnnts Welcome to the Installation utili- 
ty. In this case il would display: 



We l esse lo '.hi Wo? inttllUtsur, utility 






You will be adding olher Tool Type commands 
to the icon at a later dale. For a visual descrip- 
tion ol the above, check out ihe diagram.

B complete Installer scrip! using the routines 
explained this monlh and a few extras so that 
you can gain a good impression of how to set 
up a fully working script . p-^m

LUhat's on

here's an amazing amount to gel 

through this month and wh kick ofl 

with the Gadtools approach to 

menu creation. Gadlool menu defini- 

•ons are based on sets of data blocks 

:-i 'ad NewMenu structures that, to the- 

€90x0 coder, looks like this:

Paul Que fad tachies the nettt stage

The gnm_Pad field is always zero - it's just 
there to ensure that the next field is word 
aligned). The only other fields you nenrl to 
worry about are the gnm_Labe'l and 
gnm_CommKey fields, which are pointers 
to text strings giving a name and a key- 
board shortcut for the menu item. 

The menu I'll he using is very simple. It's 
just a PROJECT menu with two entries; 
"Select File...," and "Quit To Workbanch" 
and all we do to set up the NewMenu struc- 
lures is define- some data, statements to 
represent the menu litle, the two items, and 
a terminal end entry. 

Take a good look at listing 1 and com- 
pare rny field definitions to those given in 
(he NewMenu definition - all should 
become clear in a relatively short space of 
lime. 

Notice incidentally that the structure 
holds pointers to strings - (hat's why I've 
defined the strings using separate dc.b 
pseudo-op statements and placed the cor- 
responding labels mlo the NewMonu defini- 
tions. 

Attaching a menu to a window is not 
easy because several steps have to be per- 
formed. Firstly, we have to make a call to 
the Gadtools GetVisualtnfoAQ routine and 
on exit a corresponding FreeVisuailnfoO 
function has to be executed. 

Secondly, a CneateMenusA() routine

must be executed. This too must be coupled 
with a FreeMenusO function before the pro- 
gram terminates. 

Thirdly, a call to LayoutMenusAO must be 
made. This needs to be checked lor success 
but there is no corresponding deallocation 
routine to be performed in this case. 

Finally, the menu can be installed using 
the Intuition SetMenuStripQ function and 
hare the function must be couplBd with a 
ClearMenuStripO call prior to Ihe program 
terminating. 

ROUTINES 

So, we've gc-i a whole load of routines, 
any or all of which could conceivably fail as 
we try to attach our menu, if an error did 
OCCur, we would have to ensure that only 
those routines that had been successful 
get their equivalent da-allocation routines 
executed. 

Now you'll know from last month how I'm 
handling this problem. Each task that has to 
be performed is being written as a sub-rou- 
tine pair that contain the initial setting- 
up/allocation code, and the corresponding 
closedown/de-al location code. 

Whenever a routine is successful the de- 
allocation routine address gets pushed onto 
a de-allocation stack. Listing 2 contains one 
set of the new routines - you'll find all the 
others in Ihe cover disk source code. 

Study ihese arrangements well because 
they form a coding pattern that I'll be using 
extensively in this series. 

We preserve some registers, set up and 
make the required function call, check for 
any errofs and then eilher return an error 
indicator or push the address of the close-

Ttie message system used on the Amiga 
is. at the grass tools level,, an Exec facility. 
Information can be senl from one- task to 
another by creating a data packet known as 
a Message structure and then transmitting 
it {sending il) lo its destination. 

Messages pass between tasks using 
another Exec defined structure called an 
Msg'Porl, more commonly called a "message 
port" or jusl a "port," 

Ports are basically software entities 
whose job, among other Ihings, is to act 
as a receiving stalion lor messages. 

Before a program can receive a mes- 
sage it must have allocated and initialised 
a suitable message port and the good 
news here, as far as our program is con- 
cDrned, is that Inluition wilt have automati- 
cally sel up Ihe required purl (called a 
'User Port') automatically. 

Gadlools-crealed menus are quite easy to 
handle because the messages sent to the 
window's user port ate just conventional 
IntuiMessages. 

As with all Exec messages, the real mes- 
sage data is always provided as a message

Notice incidentally that IVe used a dummy call lo a file

should be pretty obvious bul I'll have more to say about 
the menu handler next month. For now here are some 
final notes to help with this month's code: 

Flrslty, you'll be able to assemble the code using the 
same approach as with ihe first iwo installments 
because, at the momenl, I'm continuing to use standard 
Amiga system definitions bul placing equivalent defini- 
tions within the source rather than using the official 
include files. 

This means the program can be assembled with 
any assembler - even if you haven'i got the official 
includes!

Once Ihere lived a man who owned a goat, upon 
(which he did lavish much attention. He would 
saunter down Id the shops ol a weekend and 

invest in many extravagant gifts to shower upon it, intend- 
ing to make it stronger and healthier. 

Meanwhile his poor neighbour, who also owned a goat, 
had precious litlle money to fritter away on frivolous ian- 
nins, so had to content himsell with cheaper alternatives. 
Despite this, hrs goat grew up to be equally strong and 

healthy 

Then one day, the first man got a message trgm his 
bank saying he was two thousand pounds overdrawn and 
a nice man would be coming around to repossess his goat. 
And yea verily his neighbour did chuckle lor three whole 
days and nights. 

And believe it or not, Amigas can be a bit like goats. In 
some ways. Maybe.

Remember Green Beret 1 ? nt was the ultj- 
mate 8-bit walky-shooty game, and whil 
the gameplay wasn't exactly mentally 
demanding, it provided amusement lot 
well, maybe a coupie of minutes. 

For the uninitiated, in a walky-shooi 
game you lake control at some fellow 
who's onhar incredibly brave or incredibly 
stupid - or more likely bolh. 

He wanders from left to right brandishing 
a large weapon of some description, whlot 
he uses to ensure that every other moving 
sprite on the screen is removed- 

At the same time he occasionallj 
makes the effort to dodge enemy lire, 
because it he takes one loo many hit! 
he'll explode. The emphasis, the asturt 
observer will notice, was not particularly 
realism. 

The cynical might ask, why bo 
resurrecting such a tedious gsnra 
of game? Well, commercial gairiu 
producer ICE tried il with Fireforce a cou-

In this the player tries to make it through

ten-pin bowling will be pleased to learn that 
complete misses, where the bail trundles 
lazily along the gutter, are extremely rare. 

However, scoring strikes regularly 
requires practice and up against computer 
competition beginners will lind the going 
lough at first. 

All in all, Strike is a high quality piece Of 
licenceware which Is definitely worth the 
asking price. 



Droptool 



Programmed by: Charles Parker 

Available from: Charles Parker 

The problem with Ihe increasing number of 
programs which support Applcons tor drop- 
ping fiies onto, is that once a few of Ihem 
are installed the workbench can start lo get 
guite cmttered. 
A program celled Dropbox appeared to 
'^e perfecl answer, being able to dis- 
play documents, decompress archives and 
so on whenever a file was dropped on it, 
but unfortunately those of us with Kickstart 
3 machines found 1 hat strange things 
started happening to its preferences file on 







loue HGR 

Produced by: Fairlighi 

Available from: Club 1200 

Disk No*, AEQ066/AEDQ67 



Hardly original but fairly well done, Love AG A is a 
demo featuring everything you'd expect - a couple of 
rotating 3D shapes, the odd well-drawn If unimagina- 
tive still picture, and music that fortunately breaks the 
mould and abandons the usual techno fare.. 

Among the more impressive hits are a few nicely 
shaded objects spinning about In front of subtly 
shaded backgrounds, and a "phong twist" effect wiih a 
distorted cube rotating strangely. 

Unfortunately there's also a selection of (lying dots 
attempling to make yet more spinning shapes. 
although a nice colourful line-changing effect and a 
zooming mandiebrot set arrive just in time to prevent 
the user reaching out to reset. 

The bizarre and slightly sick Marilyn Monroe picture 
illustrated is one of the other more notable hits, 
and the end credits scroll over an impressive ren- 
dered - and rotating, funnily enough - Fairlight logo. 
However, the whole demo still seems to lack any real 



individuality or flair, and well programmed though 
may be, it is hard lo see it being booted more th 
two or three times before being consigned pen 
nently lo the disk box.

an alarmingly regular basis. 

Droplool, which incidentally is in no way 
related lo Dropbox, does not have the 
advantage of automatically being able lo 
decide what to do with a file - you have to 
tell ii by clicking on one of eight options. 

However, it completely blows aiway 
Dropbox In terms of reliability, since I 
have so far experienced no difficulties 
whatsoever in using it. 

Using Droptool, files can be passed to 
another program for viewing or editing, or 
lo ihe printer so thai a hard copy can be 
obtained, 

Alternatively, information about the icon 
or the version number can be displayed, 
.lha archives can be extracted to RAM:, 
and Multiview can be called. 

This latter feature is especially welcome 
because, since Droptool can unpack 
Powerpackeri files. Mulliview can now be 
used to display packed documents.

Dropbox but were annoyed by the consia 
problems, (hen the answer lo your prav 
may well be Droptool.

Dawn Patrol 



-:■ Software, famous for its brilliant talents in the 
simulation's department, are back with another one 
Dawn Patrol, created by Rowan Software, famous for 
Reach for the Skies, is a true flight simulation with the 
^T-pnasis firmly on pilot control and "seat of the 
pants" iklll. 

The PC version uses such up-to-date techniques as 
»mage mapping layered on a polygonal frame, with 
Fight sourcing, gouraud shading and 640 * 400 SVGA 
resolutions, that the screen looks more realistic than 
anything you've seen so far on the PC. The Amiga ver- 
sion might not be as graphically fantastic as the PC but 
it still promises to raise a few eyebrows, You can 



choose from 15 period aircraft from World War 1 
that will fly just as the originals did. Choke of planes 
include the Fokker Triplane, Eindecker, Sopwith 
Camel, SPAD ?, so you can choose which side you 
want to fty for, 

The effects of battle damage are significant and 
are in accordance with every aerial manoeuvre you 
make, Bullets rip canvas and chop up the woodwork 
of the plane, plus bits of the fuselage and wing sec- 
tions slowly peel away from the aircraft, Likewise, 
the sound effects are superb and simply add to the 
authenticity of combat manoeuvres, 

It's been a quiet time for flight simulations just 




recently, but Dawn Patrol promises to make some tx 
noises in the Amiga world. You can have a closer loo 
at Rowan Software's flight sim via a System Previa 
which will appear in next month's magazine.

Gremlin, more Sensible fodder. Body 



Blows Budget Bonanza, oris what's going 



to be happening at this autumn's ECTS 



Cannon Fodder 2 A 



:# 



It had to happen. Those Sensible 
Software geezers are proud to pre- 
sent yet another sequel this time to 
the amazingly popular and ultra 
violent Cannon Fodder, 

The aptly named 
Cannon Fodder 2 wi 
feature a whole bundle of 
new levels featuring more 
chaos and destruction than you can 
shake a stick at, 

This time around you'll point J n' 
click your way around levels from 
various periods throughout history, 

The action will start in and 
around the modern day Middle East 
then will progress into a Medieval 
world with castles and battlements 
clotted arounc* the place. 

The gun-toting arcade fun then 
leaps to the 1930s and promises to 
feature gangsters in abundance. 
Sensible's shoot-'em-up will feature 



* 



* 



an abundance 
of new lethal 
weapons and vehicles, plus 
the excellent "War's never 
been so much fun" tune is going 
to be totally remixed and if 
Sensible are to be believed, will 
feature lead vocals from Sensible 
supremo Jan Hare. 

Details are sketchy at the 
moment arid the Sensible lads seem 
to be keeping things firmly under 
their hats, but Cannon Fodder 2 is 
basically going to be more of the 
same, mainly due to the fact that 
the original game left very little 
room for any improvements. The 
heated and bloody action should 
be finished In time for a Christmas 
release,

All change at Gremlin! 






T Has ten years ago that a character going by the name 

# Monty Mole achieved national notoriety on ITV's Mews 

by starring m a computer game with Arthur 

.ill, 

■■ did Monty or Arthur know that the ensuing pub- 

cty would help turn this early platform game into the 

- six-figure seller for a fledgling games company 

i t"J Gremlin Graphics. 

; nee those early days of IfiK RAM packs, hardly a 

acnth went by without a (lassie game from Gremlin fea- 

inng prominently in the software charts. 

Monty on the Run, Jack the Nipper, Thing on a Spring, 

' "blade, Hero Quest, Lotus, Znof and Premier 

Vbnager, to mention but a few, have all helped turn the 

•■(field-based software house into one of Europe's pre- 

- *■ developers and publishers of computer and console 

To celebrate the ten year? of success, Gremlin have 
*cded to change things around slightly. They will now 
tt» known as Gremlin Interactive and will Have a new 
nroorate image. 

r a bold move designed to reflect the company's con- 
■knee in its plans for the next ten years, the famous 
jnchedelic rainbow lozenge is about to be replaced. 

Gremlin's Managing Director, Ian Stewart, has this to 

n the change: "Of course there will be some" sadness 

x see the old style go, but we do need to reflect the 



Our with th* okt... 



tremendous change in the computer industry. Gremlin 
never was a Graphics company and there have been 
times when this has been rather confusing. 

"As for the logo we'll miss it, but it was beginning to 
be a bit like wearing flares and platform shoes in a room 
full of Doc Martens."

moving computer entertainment industry. 

• Super Street Fighter 3, one of the 
biggest games of the year an the 
Mega Drive, failed to hold its RRP on 
the first day of its release. The game 
was discounted by many stores by 
around £1Q-£15 and its intended £59.99 
RRP and a flat cartridge market has 
been blamed. 

• Sony has pulled out of this autumn's 
ECTS and is going ahead with its own 
off-site trade event. The firm decided it 
needed more space to show off the 
huge catalogue of autumn/winter titles 
due to hit European shelves via the 
Sony/Psygnosis publishing axis. Titles 
on show include Lemmings 3, but the 
star of the event will be the Sony 
Playstation, a machine tipped to hit the 
big-time in 1995. 

• Thursday 1st September 1994 was 
the deadline for all computer and 
video games to have an age suitability 
rating displayed on the boxes. The new 
classification system means that all car- 
tridge, dish and CD-ROM titles released 
by EL5PA members wiM carry an age 
sticker. ELSPA believes that by the 
deadline around 70-00 per cent of all 
Gallup chart games will display the 
new classification ratings, 

• BMG's software division is set to 
release three titles to coincide with the 
UK launch of Panasonic's 3PQ. ?he trio 
of games - Total Eclipse, The Horde and 
Star Control 2 - are the result of the 
firm's distribution deal with US games 
developer Crystal Dynamics and will 
each retail for £39.99. Further 3DO 
releases are planned before Christmas, 
Including Off world Interceptor, 
FaTaank arid GEX.

ECTS Event Marketing Manager 
Minnie McBride, when quizzed 
about the forthcoming event, 
offered: "The next generation of

about for years, at the ECTS it finally 
comes into focus. 

"And with all the world's major

lifting for a quality game to 
spend your cash on? Have a 
look at these selections from 
the last three months which 
will help you make that 
important buying decision. 



Benefactor is the best thing Psygnosis have 
released in a long time, It feels like a mon- 
tage of Flashback and Psygnosis' very own 
genocidal pets, the Lemmings. 

Both the graphic? and sound have been 
implemented very well. The variety of both 



location and puzzle aspect of Benefactor 

make it an engrossing challenge 

Benefactor is the type of title that will 
keep the most dextrous platform freaks and 
puzzle lovers alike twiddling well into the 
wee hours. 



I do like this game and the weirdest bit it, I've 
never been a fan of shoot-'em-upsl They usu- 
ally bore me to bits, but Banshee has that elu- 
sive quality that drags you in. Each level 
demands new challenges which are genuinely 
demanding, and the learning curve is just 
right. 

This is an intense and extremely satisfying 
game that should tempt any game's fan with 
an ounce of adrenaline in their veins. The 
Harvey Keitel of shoot-'em-ups. 




Quick the Thunder Rabbit 



Casting aside all previous platform games, 

Quik is really a perfectly funky little game- 
Admittedly, my first reaction to a platform 
game about rabbits was not printable in a 
family publication, but I was won over by the 



sheer professionalism of it all. 

It's probably more suited to younger play- 
ers, due to its simplicity and cuddly approach, 
but despite every aspect of it screaming 
"cliche" it comes across as a very fun game. 



King's Quest 6 

Adventure fans will be delighted that Sierra have finally decided 
to release the sixth adventure in the King's Quest series onto the 
Amiga. As far as adventure games go, they don't get much better 
than this. With its brilliant graphics, a fairy tale of a plot, superb 
payability and a level or addiction that will keep you coming back 
for more and more, 

Pinkie 




A cracking little platformer. It looks beautiful 
with its pastel coloured graphics, it has a nice 

and cheesy poptastic soundtrack and even the 
gameplay differs from its competitors as it's 
heavily puzzle-based. Pinkie, as a concept, 



isn't anything different and doesn't contain 
any new surprises, but as a game on its 
own WDrks remarkably well. Pinkie is a 
harmless little platformer that won't hurt 
anybody 



Universe 



Without doubt. Universe rs one of the games 
of the year so far, It has class in copious 
amounts and is presented outstandingly well. 
The combined icon and text control system is 
intuitive and friendly, making this a simple 
game to get to grips with, 
Some of the puzzles encountered are 



completely mystifying, until suddenly the solu- 
tion dawns on you and you wonder why on 
earth you didn't realise what to do a little ear- 
lier on. Universe is the type of adventure 
game that will be enjoyed by even those nor- 
mally disinterested in the. genre, and must he 
highly recommended. 



The scores 
an the doors 

Come on regular readers, you must know In 

it works by now. Hew readers welcome 

you to the most exciting part of the 

magazine, hold on to your hats... 

I'm sure many of you are now familiar with our n*% 
scoring system, but for those reading Am, 
Computing for the first time and those who m 
have forgotten exactly how it works, here ii 
guide to the System scoring, err system. 

In our opinion, review scores have lost their a 
test as a percentage; some products receiving scor- 
which were only a few percentage short of beir 
"perfect" game, when in truth they were on 
marginally above average. 

OK, so the scores might seem unnaturally low i 
first but that's only because other scoring system 
tend to be on the high side and perhaps not as coir 
prehensive or honest as they could be. 

In the long run you'll receive a more concise » 
reader-orientated review that's geared toward' 
consumer. 

0-20 This is given to the lowest of the low 

21-30 An all-round poor game that 
may have a single saving grace 

31-40 Just below the average, perhaps 
let down by a few indiscretions. 

41-55 Games of this score are roughly average 
with 50 being a perfectly average score. 



56-66 This is an above a vera g 
and is worth buying. For this 
it would be awarded the BR 
award. 




KKOVi 



A game of ' 
s a reviewer would have no 
rvation in recommending, 
thing of this ilk would be 
.arded the SILVER award. 



78-89 A brilliant title. Defini 

worth buying and almost the i 

tive of its kind. This type of < 

would receive the GOLD aw 



90-IOtl The best in its genre. This benchmark title 
s the PLATINUM tit!

ilmarils Ishar games have earned a 
well deserved plate in most HPG 
games players' collections. Renowned 

for their superb graphics which have their own unique style and 
their deep and absorbing plots, it's little wonder that they have 
become one of the most popular RPG* around. 
And now Silmarils are set to stun once again with their final episode 
to complete the trilogy. 



Character? will pivr vit*l clues 



STORYLINE 



The complete story of Ishar stretches 
right back over four games, starting 
off with the "Crystals of Arborea" 
where Jarel, Prince of the Elves, sets 
out to find the magic crystals which 
would oppose the power of the evil 
Morgoth, the black god. He succeeds 
and kills Morgoth, Jarel becomes 
ruler and the country is renamed 
Keridoria. 

Ishar: Legend of the Fortress went 
on to tell of hnw the fortress of 
Ishar - which belonged to Krogh, 
offspring of Morgoth - was con- 
quered by a group of adventurers. 
The powers of chaos were banished 
from Kendoria and it then became 
the 'in f place to be, so to speak. 

A city developed and was named 
"Zach's Island." A powerful figure 
emerged - the cities bad guy, 
Shandar, monk of chaos - and he 
became your modern day drug 
dealer, selling hallucinogenic 
potions. 

In Ishar 2, Messengers of Doom 
the "Messengers" succeeded in free- 
ing "Zach's Island* from Shandar's 
influence. Shandar was killed or so 
everyone thought, but he devised a 
spell before his death that allowed 
his vital energy and consciousness to 
survive even after the death of his 
body. He now intends to return in 
the form of the deadly winged 
dragon, Worirata*. 

Shandar's plan h flawed however, 
in that the reincarnation can only 
take place during the planetary con- 
junction of the two moons, the sun 
and the planet Ishar, You must 
destroy the dragon before this 
happens, 





One of the most outstanding aspects of the 
Ishar series has been the graphics. They create the 
rich atmosphere that always seems abundant in 
the Ishar games. This third offering is no exception 
and continues the high standard set. by its 
predecessors. 

The many different locations provide variety and 
the vast attention to detail that has been paid to each 
scene is amazing. Outdoor locations include every- 
thing from towns, jungles and fortresses to caverns, 
white indoor settings range from libraries, taverns and 



temples. Each one is full of intricate detail and realty 
make the game. 

However, while a great deal of atmosphere has 

been created by using night and day time sequenca 
(i.e, the scene goes from dark to light) it has bet- 
done at the expense of practicalities such as beif>j 
able to see where you are! 

This results in having to lie low until dawn break.; 
and is rather frustrating when you are just in the mu 
die of getting somewhere. 

Characters have been nicely animated and add re 
ism to the game and the sprites are imaginative a 
well created.

" , ^«'e have been many RPGs on the Amiga to compare Ishar 3 to, 

s--ar 3 is your more traditional role-playing adventure, both visually and in 
-» _ splay, It if superior to a lot of its counterparts in its superb graphics and web 
•a plots and sub-plots, 

letently we have seen Thalion's Ambermoon, the sequel to Amberstar. This 
messed and received a mighty Si % (AMC75), Ishar 3 is similar in the graphical 
t, e it use j which is that of 'traditional' RPGs. However, Ambermoon also 
■■ploys an overhead, two-dimensional view. 

ore obvious comparison to make would be with Ishar 1 and 2, Ishar 3 corn- 
res favourably, hoth graphically and with the actual size of the game, 
•ster 3 will prove a classic RPG, rating among some of the classics of this genre. 







Unfortunately there isn't a great deal of sound to comment on, which 
may be a good thing compared to the sound that is actually used. Tot 
instance, the occasional bell tolls in the distance, or a brief if rathe' irrel- 
evant tune is played when you walk into an Inn. 

The game starts with a moody tune which does conjure up the atmo- 
sphere and it's a great shame that some other music couldn't have been 
used throughout the game. 

In a title of this nature, things could have really been enhanced by a 
good choice of tunes or effects.

real 




~he plot in ishar 3 focuses on the 
idea that Shandar's soul can 
:ome back in another form, This 
belief, known as reincarnation, 
says that the human spirit can 
still Hve again in another human, 
plant or animal, It is also 
referred to as transmigration or 
Tietempsychosii, 

Many religions such as 
Suddhism, Hinduism and Jain ism 
^ave this belief as a fundamen- 
tal part of their religion. The 
Hindus, whose beliefs originated 
around 4,500 years ago, say that 
all living things are part of a 
divine life that transmute to one 
*orm or the other - sometimes a 
plant, an insect or human 
depending on Its karma or past 
actions,

Despite some of the grumbles I may have about the 
night-time effects and the sound, Ishar 3 is one of the 
most absorbing and atmospheric adventures around. 

There are many characters to meet, plenty of beau- 
tifully created locations to explore and tonnes of puz- 
zles to solve. 

There are a massive 100 characters to make your 
team from, all having differing skills and personali- 
ties. Each has a character which can effect the action 
in the game. One may lie or another may have mur- 
derous tendencies, for example. 

You'll need to choose your actions carefully. Say 
you wanted to assassinate a member of the party and 
another character has sympathies with the victim, he 
may then kill the murderer. This psychological aspect 
works well and provides much of the intrigue. 

On your quest you will meet bad guys as well as 
the good. A tactical element has been added to the 
fight scenes and by means of a tacti-grid you can 
place the stronger characters in the front line for 
fighting. 

The plots and sub plots in Ishar 3 are cleverly set 
around a series of time gates. These allow you to 
access other lands in the past or future. Past events 
can change the present and future and you'll need to 
pick up key plot points found throughout the history 
of Ishar 

Inns play a vital part in the game and offer the 
opportunity to rest your team, eat, listen out for 
information and to enrol new members. At the Inn 
you'll find some great animations with characters that 
will impart important information. 

In typical RPG style, the use of spells is an essential 
and fun aspect of Ishar 3. There are about 30 spells to 
choose from, ranging from attack and defence spells 
to 'telepathic reconnaissance' and teleportation. 

There is an unlimited game saving facility which, 
believe me, you will definitely need and also the fa 
ity to re- load teams from Ishar 1 and 2. 

There is just so much to do in Ishar 3. apar 
from the overall objective, that your mind will be 
continually boggling over specific puzzles and 
problems. 

Even for the most experienced role-players this will 
be a tough game to crack, promising lasting appeal 

This is a superb addition to the Ishar series and I 
of the previous games will not be disappoint 
really is a top quality, atmospheric adventure. 

Silmarils have excelled once again in their aim to 
create, "the computer version of a Tolkien adventure, 
rich in dream-like images, colour, sound and plot.*

I 



have been waiting for this one ever 
since I saw the pulsating reviews that 
the PC version received and now it 
has arrived. Labelled by some as one 
of the most eagerly-awaited games 
ever, the pressure was on Bullfrog's 
business simulator to perform and do the err, 
business. 

I'll admit to thinking that the game might 
have been hyped to oblivion and that it can't" 
possibly be that good. 

I should've really cast these thoughts aside 
because a casual glance at Bullfrog's hack *ata 
logue of software (Papulous, Flood, 
Powernionger, Syndicate) should have put my 



INTRODUCTION 



fears aside. 

I don't want to and 
don't have to wait 
until the end of the review to tell you just how 
good Theme Park is. It is bloomin' marvellous 
and t know that it'll be top of the software 
charts for a good long time to come. 

On the surface it looks like a cutesy, 
OK kinda game, but underneath there 
is a startling, in-depth business/strategy 
simulation that you can't fail to be im- 
pressed by. 

Theme Park heralds a new era in computer 
games and it's an era I've been waiting a good 
few years for. 



You are now entering the Theme Park lone. A world 
full of over-inflated burger prices, coasters that roll 
and castles that bounce. Jonathan Haddock takes 
you around what must be the game of the year, 




Theme 



The sound in Theme Park is the vital part of atmosphere generation and thankfully 
Bullfrog has included it in abundance. Each ride has its own specific tune which plays 
when your mouse pointer wanders over it. 

The tunes don't last forever though, which means you're not plagued by annoying 
music which starts off good and then gets monotonous, 

The sound effects, of which there are many, seem to go by without you noticing them 
and it's quite hard to name a specific sound, but they are there. It's just that they add to 
the whole atmosphere of the game rather than jtflt providing you with a second's 
entertainment. 

The only other bit of sound is the introduction which features plenty 
of sampled speech and I guarantee that you won't fail to raise a grin by the time you see 
the roller coaster sequence. Buy the game to see what I'm on about!

t don't even know where to begin where the visuals in Theme Park are 
concerned, From the amazing introduction (even though it's not quite as good as 
the PC version} you know that you're about to experience a product of sheer 
quality. 

Once you've found your feet and you begin to experiment a little, you start to 
notice all the hundreds (literally I) of little touches. 

Your visitors wander around with expressions that range from happiness or 
that burst out in tears, to green faces after a particularly rough time on one of the 
ndes, due to Hamburg us fillus faceus toomuchus. 

The rides themselves are the real stars of the game. You start off 
with basic and very safe rides, such as the bouncy castle and the 
tea cup ride which are beautifully presented, After a bit of research you then 



progress to bigger and more scarier rides, such as the roller-coaster and the 

haunted house. The control system is dean, well-presented and the icons are 
designed, so it's obvious just what you're clicking on, The static screens are ilso 
spot-on, the management deafs over the table and the end sequence wnen your 
parks goes bankrupt are two prime examples. 

The animation is smooth and everything flows nicely around the screen like it 
should do. The little graphical touches such as the introduction of scenery (trees. 
stumps, fences, fountains) enable you to design a park which can be as pic- 
turesque as you want it to be. 

There is graphically so much to Theme Park that I'd take up the whole maga- 
zine talking about it. The best thing to do is just sit back in a comfy chair and 
admire the screenshots. 

Cute as heJI and in quiet moments even the toughest male on the planet has 
got a good chance of going "Ahhhh".

SIMULATION 



Theme Park can be played three ways. Your first 
choice should be the sandbox level which is aimed 
specifically at beginners. You can enjoy all the fun of 
the Theme Park without having to trouble yourself 
with the strains of dealing with the bank, plus you 
don't have to do any research and you'll never run out 
of stock for your shops. 

The- next level upwards is the si m level. Here you 
can do some research and also some negotiation 
screens pop up periodically where you have to barter 
over staff wages, 

Only on Full level do you get to utilise all of Theme 
Park's options. You're personally responsible for every 
financial transaction and rival operators can have 
shares in your park. 

Theme Park looks highly cutesy on the outside, but 
the game is so in-depth that every single thing you 
could possibly think of has been fully catered for. 

Chips shops on your park have salt levels which can 
be decreased and increased. An increase will make 
your park visitors thirsty, so a few sign-posts pointing 
towards your Pokey Cola shop can reap you big finan- 
cial rewards. 

Theme Park will take you an hour to master the 
controls, but you will spend weeks before you start to 
run a profitable business for any length of time. 

The game is the first in Bullfrog's Designer Series. 
The series is entirely made up of business simulations, 
whkh is where Bullfrog believe the future of com- 
puter games will lie,

FLASHBACK 




Looking back throughout games' history, 
there isn't anything exactly like Theme Park, 
but there are few that come fairly dose. The 
Populous series of games, also created by 
Bullfrog, virtually changed the software 
industry overnight and expanded game cre- 
ators' thoughts past the platformer and the 
shoot' 'em-up. 

The idea was to create your own popu- 
lous by flattening and raising land while 
battling with an opponent who had the 
exact same goal, via some help from natural 
disasters. 

The actual laying dawn of houses and set- 
tlement is very much like the construction 
section in Theme Park, but that's where any 
similarity ends. 

I can't even remember anything else 
remotely like Bull frog' 5 business simulator, 
but that just goes to prove that the game is 
a completely original product, 



ADDITIONAL MR 



The first theme park, Disnej 
opened in 1955 in Anabi 
California. The park c«n 
around Walt Disney's cartoon 1 
acters and covered approxirry 
74 acres, Walt Disney World CO 
a massive 27,000 acres and 
opened in 1971 near Orlan* 
Florida. 

Walt Disney World \ 
enhanced m 1982 thanks to 
introduction of the EPCOT cer 
which features displays of fu&d 
technology and re-creates hi 
«l landmarks. 

Other Disney parks include 
Tokyo Disneyland and EuroDuia 
in France, which covers an 
one-fifth the size of Paris. IhM 
the USA, France and Japan cat* 
for, but Brits haven't got it so 
with 15 theme parks sprej 
throughout the UK. 

The three largest are Altc 
Towers in Staffordshire {opened 
1979} which attracts over 2 mil: 
visitors annually, Thorpe : 
1980} and Chessington World . 
Adventure (1987), both of wh« 
are situated in Surrey.

Theme Park is by far the best game I've played this year. Just as Populous arrived 
and changed the industry for the better, I think Theme Park is here now to give 
other software houses a good kick up the backside, Just to show them what can 
be done on the Amiga, 

It is a product of sheer high quality, is bound to sell by the trucfcload and it's 
all down to one simple and often forgotten thing. Originality. Theme Park, with 
its three simulation scales, will appeal to just about everyone. Via these 'scales 
you can make the simulation as in-depth as you want it to be. 

The best thing about the game in my opinion is that It is a fun game to play. 



You can't help but smile and have a good laugh while you're busy creatinq vour 
park. 



The only down point to Theme Park is that it is a tad slow gn the Idwer grade 
Arnigas. To get the best out of it you'll need some fastRAM or an accelerator but 
that said it still plays well, upgrade or not. 

The graphics are simply exquisite, the sound is excellent, it is as playable as 
hell and more addictive than any drug. It oo^es sheer class and evenyone that has 
seen it has had nothing but praise for Bullfrog's business simulator. 

f could enthuse about Theme Park all day, but I don't want to because righ> 
now I want to get back to my A12O0 to continue constructing my park. 

To quickly sum up, Theme Park is a quality title designed by a quality software 
developer, and if you decide not to buy this game ft could well become one of 
the worst decisions your ever likely to make,

INTRODUCTION 



espite its name, Top Gear 
1 has nothing to do with 
Jeremy CI ark son et al. In 

fact it's the latest race-'em-up from Gremlin that 
promises to he "the fastest ever Amiga racing 
game." 

Released on the SNES to high critical acclaim and receiving 
(he glitzy award for ttie1993 Gamesplayer 5NE5 Racing Game 
of the Year, it has now been ported over to the Amiga. 













Wirt rnaugh money If upgrade your 
engine for ionw rmai sp£#d 



Thus* dieted phrtsww ccrtatniy 
don't briny anything to the yama 




There are quite a few ■games that are rather like Top 
Gear 2. Many have taken on Ihe formula of a sports 
car racing along the open road in various countries, 
with things getting difficult when bad weather 
occu rs or there are obstacles o n the track. 

Lotus, for instance, is similar both in looks a net 
gameplay, with the typical rain and fog scenes, or 
the logs and barriers on the tracks. 

Crazy Cars 3 is also quite similar, but the game 



added interest with an e*tra element of betting 

wagers with rival racers and also the option to 
upgrade your car. 

Top Gear 2 rates around average with games of a 
similar nature. It does introduce some sort of tactical 
element with the upgrades you tan buy for your car, 
and you'll need to decide when and what to spend 
your race winnings on. 

Check the weather report to see whether you 
should replace your tyres with better versions 
adapted for wet or dry conditions, or spend your 
cash on improving nitros for better speed ups- 



Top Gear 2 does look rather similar to maff 
other games of this nature with the oblig* 
tory rain scenes, fog, night and city skyway 
ers r but it has been done to a high standarc 
and looks good. 

The actual ear itself seems to hover uncc 
vincingly above the track and the rear view j 
the tar is retatively unimpressive even wh< 
the nitros are activated, with a feeble fi- 
effect appearing out of the exhausts. 

The apparent "cut and paste" job on 
scenery also spoils things quite a lot. While d 
is a nice idea illustrating the background i 
significant landmarks of a country, it becon 
so obvious that the scenery has been continj 
ally repeated that it looks unconvincing. 

In fart it becomes quite laughable as yc 
count how many Sydney opera houses yc 
pass, or how many Pyramids and the like.

Tlia Hackett plays girl racer for the day 
i take a look at Gremlin's fop Bear 2... 




having never driven a high-powered super sports car {any offers?), it 
can only be left to the imagination how close to the real thing this is. 

Unfortunately the control method certainly doesn't do a great deal to 
chance realism and the steering isn't all that responsive, constantly 

-binding you that you are just using a joystick and controlling a graphic 
sn the screen. 

The game does create the speed of the car well and you do actually 
-ove along at a fair old pace, 

The sound effects are adequate, but they don't create the nail-biting 
•e-ision that these games should and don't sound all that convincing. 

Also you ace blessed with a rubber car, in the sense that even when 
tou crash at full speed into a concrete wall you'll stiH bounce right off 
again with no harm done. 

Great for prolonging the race but hardly realistic - I mean whatever 
■^opened to those impressive explosions that kept things exciting? 

What I'm trying to say Is you don't really get absorbed into the action 
« with some rating games and somehow the excitement isn't there.

Car racing has always held wide 
appeal, both with participators and 

spectators alike. It has taken on 
many different forms from Stock 
Car Racing to Formula One Grand 
Prix - the first organised race being 
from Paris to Rouen in 1394. 

There are many circuits that 
have been built for the purpose 
such as Silverstone and Nurbur- 
gring, along with street circuits 
including Monte Carlo and 
Monaco. 

Many racing drivers have 
become household names through 
their profession - Graham Hill, 
Stirling Moss and Jackie Stewart all 
finding fame through this means. 

Motor racing is not without its 
dangers though - even for the 
spectators, One of the worst ever 
motor racing disaster was at Le 
Mans rate-track when 80 people 
were killed when three cars col- 
lided at 150mph, trashing into the 
spectators stand.

~ n ere are a few things that worry me about this 
5a me. While on the surface the game plays fairly 

ell and everything chugs along quite acceptably, 
**re are things that let it down. 

For instance, gameplay is distracted by these sup 
sosedly "hip" phrases interrupting the proceedings. 
take a car, for example, and a bubble of 
ipeech will appear reading "Yo, eat my dust", 
"Crash 'n' burn" and other equally irritating 
phrases. 

And another point to note: all your opponents 



seem to comprise of the role-model drivers who 
never put a foot wrong, who never crash into barri- 
ers and if you should collide - well, it's you that 
gets put hack a few seconds while they speed off in 
to the horizon. 

No chance for any foul play, no scraping 
together of paintwork and no mad scramble to 
overtake - rempving tonnes of potential fun? It's 
not all bad by any means, in fact it is a very 
playable game with plenty of different tracks - 64 
cities in 16 countries - to test your skills. And it is a 
very, very fast game, especially on a one-player 
mode. 

A two-player game is the usual split-screen affair 
and is great fun, but unfortunately you can't easily 



tell who your opponent is from the many other cars 
of the same colour. 

The sound and graphics let the game down a lit- 
tle and it doesn't seem to have all that much to it. 
Around five years ago it would have 
been received with more 
enthusiasm but now it is a **\\\\ 
tittle old hat. 

If you're a fan of rat- 
ing games and you 
have to have another, 
it is worth a look, it 
does play fairly well, 
it's just not particularly 
original ^j

INTRODUCTION 



whole gaggle of foot- 
ball games have been 
released to capitalise 
on the football fever which inevitably follows the 



based simulations as opposed to tackling the manage- 
rial side of things. 

On The Ball aims to set that straight offering up to four 
players and involving a detailed journey through the qualify- 
ing stages to the world cup finals. 

It also features what the programmers describe as 
"Spectacular animated TV-style coverage" of the games, so 
that you tan see your players in action and curse as they miss 
easy chances or concede disappointing last-gasp equalisers. 

After the game you'll have to deal with the media, who will 
either tear you to shreds or hail you as a national hero. It's 
your task to make sure that your name is in the headlines for 
all the right reasons. 




Taylor failed, but can you 
succeed? Dave Cusick

Located on the desk in your office is a compact disc 
player, which you can use to select one of two tunes 
which tinkle away in the background during the off-the- 
field sections. 

Both tunes are passable but not particularly awe- 
inspiring, and to be honest you may well be tempted to 
turn down the volume and stick some decent music on in 
the background while you play, 

During the game, moments of drama are usually 
accompanied by suitable crowd sound effects. The closest 
you'll come to chants are the occasional "Eng-er-land" 
style messages which are interspersed with the commen- 
tary, but that doesn't matter too much because you'll be 
paying far more attention to the events on screen any- 
way

Without a doubt the two top mar>- 
agerial games are Gremlin's 

Premier Manager 2 and Uomark's 
Championship Manager 94 
Premier Manager opts for a fast 
and friendly approach, where you 
are given the task of taking over a 
humble conference team and mak 
>ng your way into the top flight o J 
professional football. 

Championship Manager is prob- 
ably the most detailed game of its 
type ever conceived, boasting 
unparalleled attention to detail. It 
remains my personal favourite 
because you can immerse yourself 
in it for hours, 

On The Ball tries to break the 
mould in several areas, not only in 
its use of the numerous in-game 
action sequences, but also in opt- 
ing for a much less tent- bases 
approach than its rivals. 

There are far fewer player static 
tics than in Championship 
Manager, as a system of assigning 
traits or characteristics such as 
"Goal poacher" to some players is 
employed which works well.

in 



jut ever actually having been an international football manager, I'm not 
•illy in the position to say whether or not On The Ball accurately reflects the 
a, today life of such a character. However, it does seem to include every aspect 
rfthc job, both on the field and off, 

can't think of another management game in which you get to plan out your 
payer's days in this amount of detail, or where all manner of actions from 
endorsing products to imposing sex bans on the Squad can be carried Out. 

The game sections themselves usually seem to reflect reality to some extent, 
^though after a while you do become used to certain animations and as a result 
can predict goals before they are actually scored. 

This doesn't really detract from the excitement however. You'll still have your 
*«rt in your mouth during penalties or free kicks from critical edge-of-bo* 
positions.

few management games are as 
visually pleasing as On The Sail. 
The programmers have clearly 
poured a lot of time and effort 
into creating a realistic and stylish 
game- throughout and the graph- 
ics certainly go a long way towards 
capturing the cor rett mood. 

The feel of every situation, from 
the quiet solitude of your hotel 
room office to the intense glare of 
a post-game press conference, is 
captured perfectly by the atmo- 
spheric visuals. 

For most of the game you'll be 
looking at these beautifully drawn 
static screens, but where the action 
really comes alive is during training 
sessions and matches. 

Here your players perform for 
you in a range of animated 
sequences, Despite the size of the 
players on the screen, these 
sequences are generally smooth 
and will certainly impress initially, 

Of course, whether you'll still be 
SO keen on them after you've had 
the game a few weeks remains to 
be seen, because it doesn't seem 
possible to skip these animations.

Wednesday 13th October 1393 was the night on which football 
fans the whole nation over watched their national team miss the 
world cup boat. This was all the more shocking and disappoint- 
ing, coming as it did only three years after a heartbreaking and 
indeed quite unlucky semi-final loss to the eventual winners of 
the 1990 World Cup, Germany. 

Many fans agreed that had England beaten Germany In that 
fateful penalty shoot-out, they would have been able to beat 
Argentina in the final and Sift the cup for a second time. But in 
the three years since England's second-finest hour, much had 
changed. 

After two impressive World Cup campaigns, Bobby ftobson 
decided to return to club management, The FA appointed 
Graham Taylor, whose club credentials were impeccable 

With players such as Bryan ftobson and Peter Shilton at the end 
of their international careers, Taylor decided the time was right 
for wholesale changes and took several controversial decisions, 
such as dropping Chris Waddle and Peter Beardsley. 

He seemed unable to translate his club success to the interna- 
tional arena and adopted an alarming habit of playing men in 
rales other than their natural positions. 

After playing On The Ball, you will either feel an affinity with 
Taylor - perhaps he faced an impossible task - or have an ever 
lower opinion of him than when you started. This could largely 
depend on which difficulty level you play at. 

After failing to qualify for USA 94, Taylor resigned as England 
Manager. His three year tenure had been an often stormy voyage 
through the footballing ocean, and few were sorry to see him go 
in the end. 

Now Wolves fans will be hoping he can find his earlier club 
management success, He shall be remembered as the man who 
not only managed England's way out of the World Cup, but also 
for the improper use of the English language that brought him 
notoriety through the medium of national television. 

Indeed, that now immortal phrase which is adorning Fantasy 
Football League T-shirts the whole country over, accurately sums 
up for me the whole of Graham Taylor's international career: "Do 
I not like that?"

WVVKI) 




Accomplished and enjoyable though it is, On The 

Sail: World Cup Edition still only simulates the quali- 
fiers and finals of the World Cup- 

International management is interesting enough, 
but for many there simply won't be enough involve- 
ment with the players on the almost personal level, 
such as that which can develop during extended 



sessions playing Championship Manager, 

To be honest I can J t help but feel that 
domestic league and cup competitions work 
better in a computer game. Also, something is 
definitely lost through the use of fictitious player 
names. 

However, there is still plenty of depth; taking one 
of the footballing minnows to the finals is a real chal- 
lenge on the higher difficulty settings. 
You'll need a hard drive for the A1200 version, 



although the A500 version won't call for one. Aiton 
say this is due to the improved graphics on the AG A 
machines. 

On The Ball is a good game by anybody's stan- 
dards, but for me it still doesn't quite top the league 
It's more a sort of Newcastle United, providing 
plenty of entertainment, but not quite at 
catch the Blackburn and Manchester Unite 
Premier Manager and Championship Manager 
respectively.

INTRODUCTION 



Putty uses his pavren of plitbtiity t-o reach one af thaw 
important stjn which fortifier win* jim 1 his abilities 



wq years ago 3 game arrived on the 
Amiga games scene that redefined 
the parameters of the platform 
games character. Putty was its name 
and it was received well by press and 
gamesplayers alike- With scores that 
didn't go below 90%, Putty was a breath 
of fresh air in the dull genre of platfonners. 

System 3, responsible for such quality pieces 
of software as Myth, created Putty, a character 
who was able to stretch and morph his (her?) 
way to computer game success, There was so 
much more that you could do with your flexi- 
ble friend that it was quite unlike any other 



platformer on the market. 

Even though the idea was highly orig 
Putty also shone brighter in the graphics 
sound departments than anything that ■ 
gone before it. 

The sound effects such as carrots sh 
"Uzi 9mm" played a major part in the gam* 
success by making it far more entertainw 
and dare I say it more fun than a lot of i 
competitors, 

We're now heading towards the end of 19S 
and System 3 are back with a vengeance. TK 
sequel to their platform star of 1992, Put' 
Squad is about to hit the shop shelves and I 
looks bigger and better than its predecessor. 

I fear the world is about to go Putty mac 
once more. 




Potty faffs upon the powers of his 
mrihtp to help him get n'</ of his. 
ipfunrnf who ii secure in a bunker 



Sctniqally, Putty Squad is a notch above the rest The 

musical tune which runs throughout isn't too loud 
and although it sounds rather nifty, the volume is set 
at this level for one reason. The musical stars are, of 
course, the humourous sound samples which pop up 
every few seconds. 

Almost every character within the game has their 
own select sound. From when the Putty shouts when 
he collects one of his mates to the end laughter 
when you fail after losing all your lives, every sound, 
err, sounds great and I tan do nothing hut applaud 



the musk maestro- who put it all together. 

Just the introduction of these select samples 
makes the game more fun to play, inducing you to 
search out n*w characters just to see what they say. 

Perhaps the best use of the sound sample is whe^ 
you pick up the musical note icon. Sitting behind a 
pair of decks, the DJ promptly appears and spins an 
outrageous scratch-filled hip-hop record. 

Immediately, all the enemies stop doing whatever 
they were doing and start to dance their socks off 
for a good 20 seconds, allowing Putty to go about 
his business untroubled. A nice touch of the highest 
quality.

As you might expect. Putty Squad can- 
tains some of the best cartoon graphics 

you've seen in a long time. The variety of 
characters and the sheer quality of these 
finely sculptured pixels can't fail to 
impress even the most platform-hating 
game-splay er. 

The characters range from new stars 
such as bulbous toads and menancing 
magicans to Indian rubber men. The 
game doesn't forget old favourites such 
as the rampant rocket men and the 
maniac gun-toting carrot, who ingdently 
has changed his. tatchphrase to 
"achtung!". 

The backgrounds have also been 
improved upon, mainly due to the fact 
that the Putty Squad development team 
have now got access to AG A technology, 
The location of the game seems to be set 
in and around the far east with Buddahs 
dotted around the Arabesque landscape. 

The actual Putty character isn't that 
much different from the one that 
appeared in the first System 3 plat- 
former, but I guess he doesn't need to be 
vastly improved, simply because the 
game creators did it so well first time 
around. 

The blue blob can still squash himself 
to the ground for protection, stretch into 
the air to collect objects, form a fist to 
whack the enemy and can encase/morph 
into a baddie and take control of him. 

The animation is spot on and the 
smoothness by which the star of the 
game jumps and squishes around the 
screen is very impressive.

and slowly get a lot tougher - even dedicated platform 
heroes might have a few problems later on. 

Thankfully the development team have put an ever-so 
useful level password option into the game. The only 
problem is that Putty Squad is for the A120O only, so A5Q0 
owners are going to miss out, but they should move 
with the times and get themselves a new machine 
because games like this are slowly becoming more 
commonplace, 

The control method, considering just what Putty can do. 
is very easy to use and becomes second natuie to you 
only a couple of goes. H is extremely addictive and 
hand on heart and recommend it to everyone. Die-hart 
platform freaks and Putty fans are going to Ion*

INTRODUCTION 



o-called interactive cartoons 
really got off on the wrong foot 
with the infamous Don Bluth 

Dragon's Lair games. Admittedly, the animation was nothing 
short of stunning, but once past the initial phase of drooling in 
wonderment, the astute gamer noticed a distinct absence of 
anything even approaching gameptay. 

Fortunately, over the last year or two many companies seem to have 
got the message and as a result, sprawling CD-based adventure games 
on the PC have increasingly combined superb graphics and animation 
with brain-taxing puzzles. The end result has been a succession of 
smash-hits with gameplay to match the visuals. 

Making good use of the huge storage capacity of a CD. 
Gremlin's Lit il Dhfil promises amazing cartoon-like action ^ 
and a lasting adventure challenge. Can it deliver? 



'Stunning animation maketh not a great game", \ 
some wise soul once said. Gremlin's later 
could change all that, as Dave Cusick has

STORYLINE 



Mutt Divil is a highly ranked amateur 
sleeper with aspirations of becoming a 
professional in the near future. 
Annoyingly he's had to attend the 
annual Grand Council meeting in the 
Chamber of the Ancients, It might be 
the only thing that ever happens in 
the Underworld, but he'd still rather 
be elsewhere, sleeping. 

The Council are meeting to decide 
who will be chosen to go forth into 
the Overworld, through the Labyrinth 
of Chaos, to retrieve the Mystic Pizza 
of Plenty. 

Unfortunately, and also fairly 



A ( ypir.iHy pprplpmno puzzle, 
if Mutt isn't careful he could 
end up in thr vmd 



I've never really been 
interested In then - 
nprrially vuhtw the 
pieces are alive 



predictably, Mutt has drawn the short 
straw Sn this rather critical draw and as 
a result will have to attempt to com- 
plete this seemingly impossible task. 

Nobody really holds out a hope for 
him, except his trainer Vice Alderman 
Muzzle, because the task has yet to be 
completed. Still, everybody's thoughts 
will be with him, if only because they'd 
really enjoy a piece of that pizza. If 
possible, his fellow litil divils would 
also greatly appreciate it if he could 
get extra anchovies. 

Mutt's quest takes the form of wan- 
dering around the maze-like corridors 
of the labyrinth, entering rooms where 
he must complete tasks to progress fur- 
ther into the game. 



Obviously a reasonable proportion of the CD storage space has been given 

over to providing a decent soundtrack to accompany the action. 

While you are romping gaily around the 'Labyrinth, a selection of tunes 
ranging from cartoony themes to ail-action blockbuster movie-type things 
are pounding away, At times it sounds like a whole orchestra is packec 
inside the monitor, and the music always fits the scene perfectly. 

Our hero Mutt's large repertoire of moves have appropriate sample: 
sound effects, many of which are quite humourous.

INTERACTION 



Luckily Gremlin saw fit to think about the 
gamesptayer when producing this, piece 
of software, because for once there's 
actually sufficient depth and addictive- 
ness present to support the excellent 
presentation. 

Interaction is not limited to simply 
pushing the joypad in a certain direction 
at a certain moment, Mutt can perform 
all manner of tasks, from treading on 
spidery things to leaping across pits 
using a combination of buttons and the 
directional pad. 

Vour main problem may in fact be 
deciphering exactly which button does 
what, since in different rooms their func- 
tions are often totally different. 

As a result, whenever you enter a new 
location it is wise to quickly experiment 



so that you do not become caught in a 
tricky situation with no idea which 
buttons to press. 

Admittedly thefe are situations where 
you will be left with no idea what to do, 
and there are rooms whkh cannot actu- 
ally be completed until you possess cer- 
tain hems, either through picking them 
up or obtaining them from the store. 

If you don't have an item, it may not 
actually be obvious that you need it, so 
you could find yourself perplexed as to 
how to deal with the room. 

Still, unless you've failed in a room sev- 
eral times, in which case Mutt will auto- 
matically leave the location in disgust, it's 
always you who's in control and you 
don't feet simply like a spectator called 
on only rarely to make some decision. 

If interactive cartoons are to succeed 
then they will have to take a leaf out of 
iitil Divifs. book.

ut's get straight to the paint. Litil Divil looks wonderful. The backgrounds 

are moody and atmospheric with the puzzle rooms in particular being beau- 
t. fully drawn and boasting lots of colour. 

The Mutt sprite moves excellently and behaves realistically throughout. 
His range of actions is huge, yet he always moves fluently. He will often 
amuse thanks to some imaginative and cartoon-like animation. 

in short, this is one of the best looking games in a long time. True, the 
actual corridors of the Labyrinth are a little dull and very similar to one 
another, but this doesn't really detract from the overall effect. 

They add: to the interest because they make fend- 
ing your way around the 
maze all the more chal- 
lenging when one hallway 
looks much like every other, 








Well, since the CD32 itself is still a rela- 
tive newcomer, there have not really 
been many games on this platform that 



Litil Divil resembles. It would be unfair 
to group ft in with the Don Bluth games 
on other formats because they really 
are grossly inferior. Litil Divil is the first 
of what is sure to become a successful 
genre on the CD32. 



^^QE 



i 



There's little doubt that Litil Divil is an entertaining title which looks and sounds 
almost like a proper cartoon, Initially it certainly impresses and to be honest it's 
hard to fault the presentation in any way. 

tt is that most rare of products on the ZD32, a game which takes full advantage 
of the machine's capabilities and h not simply an Amiga port with additional 
music. 

Five levels, none of which are easy, should be enough to last quite some time- 
It's not the sort of game you would go back to once it has been completed, but 
then again I shouldn't think many people will finish it in a hurry anyway. 

Gremlin should be congratulated. In Litil Divil they have bor- 
rowed the best elements of the currently popular PC CD-ROM 
adventures and have produced one of the best 
s„ CX>32 games yet. It might not be the sort of thing 

you wilt want to play for hours in a single sitting, 
but there's enough long-term interest to warrant 
its purchase and will provide plenty of fun. 

And if Commodore are looking for a product 
which will show off the CD32 to prospective customers, 
then Litil Divil could be the ideal solution.

although an old cliche, this 
certainly rings true in the ease 
of Manchester-based soft- 
ware house, Ocean. The story 
Begin? with the tale of two 
. urereurs with a vision, a vision 
to move into an emerging market of 
nome entertainment. 

And the rest is history, but it was 
obviously a decision that has paid off 
for the two entrepreneurs, Chairman, 
David Ward and Managing Director, 
.'on Woods, as they lead Ocean 
Software into its second decade, 

Starling in 1983 with only four 
staff, it has now grown into one of 
the largest independent software 
houses In the Worid. In 1987 they 
expanded into the French market, 
setting up Ocean France on the 



outskirts of Paris, and only two years 
later their rapid development wis 
increased further still with the setting 
up of Ocean US in San Jose, California, 
Ocean's foresight into the industry 
meant that they pushed the market 
forward in areas such as licensed 
games, and the release of their budget 
label, 'Hit Squad', in 1989 opened 
another market for budget software 
which as well as the top Ocean titles, 
also includes products from the likes of 
Electronic Arts, Domark, Accolade and 
Virgin. 

RELEASES 

In 1983 Ocean licensed its first coin- 
operated game and two years later 
they released their first mo vie- based 
game - a move which has led to the 
company being renowned for its 
licensed titles, including licenses from

seven of the largest eight Hollywood

Ocean now has titles licensed by big 
names such as 'Rambo', 'The 
Terminator', 'Batman' The Addams 
Family' and more recently, the indus- 
try's first million dollar license when 
they signed to produce 'Jurassic Park'. 

As well as its film licenses. Ocean 
signed advertising tie-ins including that 
with Walkers Crisps and Quavers, 
resulting in their platformers Pushover 
and One Step Beyond. 

Ocean has also incorporated the 
charity aspect into the games with the 
release of Sleepwalker,, which used the 
voice of comedian Lenny Henry, and 
raised a considerable -sum for Comic 
Relief, 

The company has employed the tal- 
ents of pop giants such as Frankie Goes 
To Hollywood, Utah Saints and Alien 
Sex Fiend in their releases. 

Utah Saints worked on their track 'I 
want you', for Ocean/ID's game, 
Burning Rubber, while Nik and Mrs 
Fiend (Alien Sex Fiend) composed the 
sound track for Inferno, 

Ocean's development centre in 
Manchester has over 1D0 specialists on 
site, with another 25 in San Jose, and 
also have top name developers such as 
D-I.D. working for them. 

As well as the Amiga, Ocean has pro- 
duced software for many other plat- 
forms including those by Sinclair, Atari, 
and Amstrad, along with the IBM com- 
patible PC.

computer games these 
W J days, so when Millennium 
announced that they 
intended to bring out a 
* based on a true story it was met 
•Ah 3 mixture of cynicism and hope! 

But on hearing the tale behind the 
game, it's not hard to sec why 
Millennium saw potential in a story 
that makes reality seem like fantasy. 

The game is Myster X, the story is of 
four martial arts champs who cycle 
around JDOO Titles, across the states, 
sparring in various towns. And talking 



to the team leader and the man who 
originally came up with trie idea for the 
game, it's obvious that this release is 
going to be more than a bit special, 

A man highly suited to his current 
role supervising a martial arts Sim, 29- 
yTar old Neil Axe has spent around 20 
years training in the arts and has an 
extensive and most impressive list of 
achievements in this field. 

Starting at the age of five, under the 
tuition of his father, Neil learnt a 
Karate-based style of self-defence. 
Moving on to various other forms of ori- 
ental disciplines including Kick Boxing, 
Wing Chun Kung Fu and Atemi Jutsu 



Karate, Neil became somewhat of a 
champion in his chosen sport. 

In l9Efl Neil came up with the idea of 
the cycling expedition. A team, led by 
him, would cycle the distance, sparring 
in towns along the way, ending the jour- 
ney with a huge tournament, 

RITUAL 

Originally it was intended that Neil 
and the rest of the team, Julian Carl i no, 
Graham Cradle, and Michael Graham, 
would travel atong the Great Wall of 
China, a ritual which goes back to the 
ancient martial artists, but restrictions

At first it was intended that the wha 
team would cycle the entire distarw

leg. A van was hired, leaving the tea 
severely strapped for cash, with only Si 
a day between them. 

A new plan was decided. They woj

Determined that all their intense

should not go to waste, it was suggested 
that the team should cycle across 
America instead, but this would almost 
double the distance meaning cycling 
nearly an extra 2OD0 miles. 

Many, including medical experts, 
believed the guys from Bucks were mad 
to take on such a feat, especially as two 
of the team have health disabilities - 
Neil suffers nerve damage in his lower 
spine white Julian needs surgical braces 
to even walk properly. 

Setting off from New York deliber- 
ately close to April Fools Day (everyone 
believing them to be fools), they began 
their arduous journey across the States 
to San Diego. 

One of the purposes of the expedi- 
tion, apart from the spiritual objective to 
find ones inner self, was to raise money 
for the Great Qrmand Street hospital. 

However, the fund raising aspect did 
not go as planned, Neil believes that 
some of the charities did not want to be 
associated with a sport that was of this 
nature. 

And in America the charity side didn't 
fair much better. When over there they 
were informed that they couldn't open a 
bank account which they had planned to 
keep money raised in, and while public- 
ity was good in one sense, it also meant 
that they were easily recognisable by 
gangs intending to roll them for the 
money. 

The team had to be on their guard 
the whole time. Instead of collecting the

enough to cope with, the route too J; 
iwrn through some of the most notori- 
ous neighbourhoods in America and 
: -ought them up against racial hatred 
n the extent where their lives became 
*reatened. 

In Yeso, New Mexico, a major "red 
K<k" area, the Ku Klux Klan took 
effence at the fact that white men 



would fraternise with 3 black and actu- 
ally threatened the team with death. 

The hostile weather conditions they 
came across, such as the sand storms in 
the dessert made things even more diff i 
cult, and despite trying to navigate the 
route from 7-11 stores, 12 days after 
their departure the team made it - 
against all the odds. 

A month after the trew had set out 



the journey was ever, They completed 
the ride by crossing over into California 
on May 6th, 19SS. 

But the celebrations came to a tragic 
end when Kay Baxter, a close friend 
and girlfriend of their host, died in 
a car accident in which Neil was 
passenger. 

This affected him immensely and 
although he only received minor 
injuries he suffered deep shock, Neil 
has dedicated the game and the script 
to hec memory. 

And it's this story of their epic jour- 
ney that is making its way into a com- 
puter game. But why choose this 
medium of all means? 

Well firstly, Neil sees the computer 
as the most modern way to convey 
such a tale, hut it's not the only outlet 
for his story. On their return, Neil and 
Julian worked on a script that com- 
bines fact with some fiction which

aoV an authentic tDuch 



they're hoping will be made into a film 

Neil is very enthusiastic about the 
forthcoming game and describes it as a 
"Martial Arts simulation" rather than a 
beat-'em-up, Neil has spent a great 
deal of time with Millennium, making 
sure the moves in the game will stick to 
those humanly possible - and if they're 
not realistic, they go. 

The game will also incorporate the 
places they went to and some of the 
actual people they met. Millennium 
have taken these real characters, for 
example the policeman they saw on 
the trip, and spiced them up a bit! 

As to the future and whether there 
are plans for any more trips, Neil points 
out that with all the current projects in 
production, time is restricted, especially 
considering the extensive training 
involved. But it's an experience he says 
he wouldn't have missed for the world 
and would consider undertaking again 

The cycle ride also led to an i nv it a ■ 
tion for Neil to lead a team over to Las 
Vegas a year later for a prestigtqus 
tournament. The British team took 
many of'the awards, including fi r st 
place in a Heavyweight Sparring Men's 
Black Belt, to second and third in Men's 
Intermediate Sparring. Neil himself also 
received a "Spiritual Warrior" award 
for services to the martial arts. 

STUDIO 

Neil's studio is based in Aylesbury, 

Bucks and houses the Axe Gar Kuin, 
which is the first full time martial 

arts centre to be funded by Focal 
government. 

In 19B9 the AGK academy played 
host to the International Martial Arts 
Goodwill Enterprises (IMAGE) Open 
Tournament and was attended by mar- 
tial arts celebrities such as Ted Tabura 
and Peter Kwong (famous for his roles 
in The Golden Child and Big Trouble m 
Little China). 

On the academy's emb - 
Neil's motto, "Never in Anger 
will you find honour* and t 
is this belief that he ; *>sr t 
into his students and the 
attitude that although 
you can learn, to defend 
yourself, the true an rs to 
condition the mind and 
focus on four aspects that 
must remain foremost in your 
life. These are work, discipline, 
control and dedication. 
Myster X is not about violence R 
is about these disciplines and a to to 
give the player an insight into the 
world of martial arts, rather titan T*

rom across the crowded room 1 saw her. She 

was partially obscured by the throng of drool- 
ing admirers, but from the brief glimpses I 
could catch, I could see she was a stunner, I 
could barely wait to thrust the contents of my 
pocket into her inviting slot. 

No, you haven't mistaken a steamy thriller for your 
copy of Amiga Computing and I apologise for lowering 
the tone of the whole magazine. 

You've just been reliving my first encounter with 
one of the most enjoyable coin-ops ever created, Super 
Sprint. It inevitably spawned a computer conversion, 
and 5 since then countless imitators have appeared, try- 
ing to recapture the high speed thrills and spills of that 
three-wheeled classic. 

Team 17 themselves have already ventured into the 
overhead driving game genre with the stylish 
Overdrive. To be honest, this was probably the least 
well received of all Team 1 7's productions. 

It seemed to lack a certain indefinable something, 
and it definitely missed a conventional non-modem- link 
two-player mode. All Terrain Racing, however, 
promises much more excitement with a whole host of 
impressive specifications. 

It is being developed by a two man team with a suc- 
cessful pedigree. Jamie Woodhouse, responsible for the 



coding, was previously 
involved in the production 
of Nitro and Qwafc. 

Graphics are being cre- 
ated by Danny Burke, who 
worked on the visually stun- 
ning Body Blows games. It's 
being written using the 
SNASM 2 development sys- 
j^^^» tem, with Deluxe Paint 

m^^ and LightWave involved in 

'^ the graphical production 

^^^P process. 

^^Ujjj^ This collaboration is 

^^^^ perhaps a little unusual con- 

^^^^ sidering the pair live appro*- 

^M^k imately two hundred miles 

K M apart. Danny lives in London 

^B^ while Jamie is from 

^00 Yorkshire. 

^^^^ They telephone each 

a^jjj^^ other regularly to discuss 

^^^^ the game's progress, but 

surprisingly they don't have 
modems for sending data to 
one another. Instead they 
survive using that tried and 
tested pre-information high- 
way method of transferring 
files - sticking floppy disks in 
the post. Despite the physical distance between the two 
men, they both have similar hopes for the finished 
game. Although this is the first time that Jamie and 
Danny have worked together, Alan Bunker, media man- 
ager for Team 17, is equally confident that they will 
produce the goods, 

"ATR is the next progressive step from Overdrive," 
he confidently proclaims. "The game runs smoothly in 
all directions, the speed is fast and the pick-ups and 




Thr peace at the calm and tranquil forest is 
shattered as the racen tear around another tratk 
with scant disregard for the countrywide todr 

weapons work beautifully. 

"ATR has been in development for six months, 
which time the game has steadily taken shape. We I 
no doubt that ATR will be well received - in partial 
the two-player mode is thrill-a-second stuff and re 
fun and frantic" 

If one player drops too far behind the other, he'l 
dragged along but will incur a time penalty, The pk 
with the best time at the end) of the race is the victor 

DEFINITIVE 

Indeed, the list of features which will be present 
the finished product suggests that ATR could 
become the definitive game of its type. 

In the one player game, five artificially tnteilic 
computer cars are involved in each race, and for ad 
clarity each car is coloured differently. 

The player can upgrade his or her car in terms 
steering, tyres and acceleration and so on. There | 
three standard types of vehicle on offer, each with

.amie says that: "with ATR, I want to make it so you 
oentify with what's on screen. You know - if you have 
i rocky track, you feel as if the car's going over rocks; if 
rs a snowy track, you're losing control of the car." 

He's promising the sort of interaction that he feels 

rs The missing ingredient in Overdrive. Danny agrees: 
INe want to make it feel as if you're actually on the 
sack. 11 

Danny and Jamie intend to include everything that 
2uld be hoped for in a driving game, Adds Danny: "I 
jgn't want to look back at the game and realise what 
«t could have put in."

It's due out in October, with an enhanced A12Q0

Out to Lunch

system <d 




French stereotypes a-plenty as top chef, Pierre 
goes on the trail of his missing ingredients. He's 
qne vegetable short of a casserole, so to speak, 
and you have to guide Pierre around the six dif- 
ferent countries and recover his escaped edibles. 
Waking life difficult is Le Chef Noir, Pierre'? 
arch-rival, and he will do everything he can. to 
release ail the food you have managed to 
capture. 

And what else must every good chef watch 
out for? Why, bacteria, of course! Bacteria and 
insects will try and infect the 
food, so you must stop them 
before they reach and. rot your 
farm fresh consumables. 

To help you there are col- 
"lectibles that will prove more 
than valuable. The most essential 
of these is the net that you use to 
capture the food in to tarry them 
to the cage. 

A minimum number of 
ingredients must be collected to 
reach the next level in a given

Banshee 



Fancy being a super hero? Then take the part of Sven Svardensvart and 
save the Styx Empire from bad guy Qlardax Mai drear With only your trusty 
flying machine, the 'Banshee', you have to stop Maidrear from taking over the 
world. 

Courtesy of Core Design, you can now get this shoot-'em-up of the century for 
the C032. Scoring a deserved 88% {AMC76) for the A1200 version, it has now been 
ported over for all CD32 blood fest fans to get their mitts on. 

it's a vertical shoot-'em-up and although there is nothing particularly new about 
it this is a prime example of the genre. 

The scenario changes frequently, flying across different terrains and meeting 
increasingly challenging enemies. As ace pilot of this power-propped plane, you 
must blast the enemies and avoid their bullets. 

And ok, so maybe it's not the most politkalfy correct of games but after all that is 
nil it is- a: game. However, if you're the type who finds blasting people to bits a fit- 
tie sick, whether in a comical style or not, then steer clear - though you'd be missing 
out on one brilliant tetle. 

The two-player mode is a nice touch and you get the choice whether to split the 
power-ups or not - ideal if your friend is the bonus-hogging type! The three levels of 
dif%u!ty also add to the challenge. 

Graphically it is amazing. It's viewed from a top-down perspective with the 
ground below constantly changing to many different landscapes. One minute you're 
flying across the deep blue ocean, the next the Arctic Wastes. Most of the time you 




AWAHI> 



are rather pre-occupied with 
blasting baddies but when you 
do actually spot all the ittie details, 
you realise how wonderful the graphics really are. 

This is a terrific title loaded with atmosphere, packed full of objectives to 
complete and millions of baddies To kill. Sound effects add realism and 
all the bombing going off left, right and centre makes for a real feast 
of pure shoot-'em-up heaven.

O 

Mm a 
always co 




n this age of instant everything- 
nsont mash, instant porridge, 
instant satisfaction and instant 
results - it's very tempting to forget 
&w planning and just do it. 

all. videotape is cheap, and you can 
cobble something together from 
it is you've shot light? WeH no. n 
l Tnis is almost always entirely the wrong 
approach, 

A good video production requires pianrwig, 
strategy and organisation. If you're one of 
those haphazard folks who just turns up with a 
camcorder and starts hosepiping away at a* 
and sundry, read an. If you're not read on 
anyway, you night learn something. 

The impetus For a successful shoot often 
begins In the planning stages- ft c during this 
time that potential problems can be identified 
and, hopefully, solved, thai shooting schedules 
are drawn up. storyboard5 consulted and all 
the loose ends drawn in before the expensive 
shooting actually takes place. 

You might think, that such planning is cory, 
necessary on big budget productions such as 
feature films and TV dramas, but you'd be 
wrong. 

Every type ol production, from holiday 
videos, weddings and birthdays to animation, 
commercials and features ail need some 
degree of planning, 

Obviously, the simplex thejob, the simpler 
the planning but nevertheless, planning rs an 
essential part of a video production, large or 

small. 

Have I got tne message across yet? 
Planning is important ok? 

How much planning you need to cto 
depends on the jyoduction itself. For jnstance, 
9 you're doing a home video for your child's 
Dtrtjtday party then you shot*! already be 
familiar with the layout of the location, where 
the best camera positions might be. how much 
light will be available at me time of day you 
wii be shoodng and where ihe power sockets, 
etc, are. 

But most of the time you won't \mns a clue 
until you've been and eye-balled the gaff for 

yourself 

Full-scale film and TV production puts great 
emphasis on planning and organisation - [hey 
roufi to because such large projects commonly 
tost megahucks and involve many people sr ** 

places. 

Besides the talent |actors, actresses etc] 
there will be a substantial technical crew who 
handle everything from the camera and its 
accessories, the lighting, set dressing d-x.1 



props, art direction, carpentry, decorating, hair 
and makeup, wardrobe, catering, driving 
duties, location management and so on. 

And then there are the directors 1 1st 2nd. 
3rd etc[, the producer[sj. and other occasional 
extra technicians and artistes brought in to 
carry out specific tasks. 

All these people have to be in the right place 
at the fight time, and ready to go when 
required. They have to be fed and watered, 
toilet facilities and transport to and from the 
location have to be provided as necessaiy 
A* this takes organisation and planning, 
even on a day-today bains. Every member ol 
the forthcoming day's shoot will recetve a 'Call 
Sheet at the end of the current day's shooting 
which details such things as how to get to 
tomorrow's locaoon(s|, where to park, what 
time the various cast and crew need to be on 
set, when the sun rises and sets, essential 
telephone numbers, which scenes are to be 
shot and where, and a selection of other 
perunent data, 

rerun 

Wow. I'm not suggesting that planning yew 
shoot nH2SSarly needs this amount ot detal - 
It all depends on the nature of the beast and 
how tar you feet like taking it. But how do you 
start your planning and organising? 

i . . •[ s take me example or a wedding video 
The bride's family [who are paying for the 
shoot] have already told you the date, times 
and locations of the wedding and recepoon, 
If you're smart, you II start to wonder about 

such things as lighting levels, power supf 

camera angles and sound problems at each of 
the various locations you'll be visiting - which 
will probably aiso include .ittending the bnde 
before she leaves for the ceremony, shooting 
the wedding through to the reception and the 
couple's eventual departure, 

you'll need to check out each ol the 
locations in advance if possfl*, and talk to their 
owners to ensure that it's OK to film, and that 
you tan drape your various bits of production 
gear around the place. 

Essential things to consider include such 
seemingly trivial rtems as where to park [so that 
you don't have to lug heavy equipment too far 
white rushing to the church|, what the weather 
forecast for the happy day might be and how 
you'll cope if rt does ram. 

when you go to each location, try to get an 
idea of how the place wil be laid out on the 
day you video the wedding - where the happy 
couple will take thei.- vows, how they wil' 




II enter 



and leave, and where you'll need Bo plate

the best chance ol recording the ceremony 
and all its vanuus dramas And subtleties. 

For one-off live events like this it is much 
better to have as much knowledge as 
possible or what's Iftely to happen, and in 






E3 



The nitty gritty 

There are certain specifics, that you'ir need to consider carefully, Will the 
camera need a tripqd or will you be going hand-heW? Wl you need a 
tripod and dolly to get any tracking shots? 

Can you Irght the location successfully while keeping the 
atmosphere natural and inform*? wril you need to dose-mic the main 
action, because of ereeswe traffic, aircraft children or animal noise? 

How long do you need to set up in each location? Will 3 second 
camera help secure those hard-toget cutaways and establishing shots 
white the main action u being filmed, 

bw events dont usually offer much leeway for making mistakes 



and, unless, you have the time - and an undenstandmg minister - it 
IS extremely unlikely that you'll get a second chance if you miss 
something important. 

There's probably not much chance of getting the happy couple 
to go through the missing bits again, so you have to be on your 
toes -right from the start, and to do this your planning and 
organisation will need to be almost military in its precision. 

Of course, there win always be times when all your planning falls 
apart but if you're clever, and nimble-minded, you II be able to go 
with the flow and keep shooting, unphased by some unexpected 
departure from the schedute- 

|f you remember (hat Murphy's Law states that ^Everything that 
can go wrong. wiH' then you should be prepared for anything. 









what order, so that you catch everythref 
important and don't get caught out by 
something you didn't know about 

At each loca*Drt, make notes and 
diagrams to help you crystallise the 
jnfomwtiun that you're gathering, Imagr-

Udding panach 



00 spruce up your original 
Tutorial t text, we shall start by 
using more than one font, We'll 
alter the credits so that the job of 
each person is in one font and their name 
«s In another. 

To do this, use the Edit Text screen's 
Control Panel. When you initially enter the 
tdrt Text screen the Control Panel ii 
invisible, so clicK the right moose button 
and it will appear m the top right of the 
screen Clicking the right mouse button 
again will remove it... and so on. 

The purpose of the Controf Panel is to lei 
you access many of [he Edit Text screen's 
keyboard functions with the mouse, You 
will see that the Controf Panel is made up 
at a grid of buttons which can all be clicked 
on to achieve different functions. 

For our purposes we will use the Control 
Panel to change the font used on all the 
names rn our credits . To do this we must 
move the cursor to the first letter of the text 
we want to change 

This can be done by clicking on the 
arrow buttons, in the Control Panel as they 
operate identically to the cursor keys. Use 
them now to move the cursor to the letter J 
In the name Joe Bloggs on the second line. 

Now we will change the Font. To do thu 
with the mouse use the Font Selector 
which is accessed via the Control Codes

The first part of this ii relatively simple, Instead of 
pressing to halt the scroll {as we did In Tutorial! f we 
can enter a Pause Code, Add four blank lines after Stella 
Adams by pressing return four times. Press Ctrl to make 
the Control Codes viiihle, press F4 to get to the Control

V* dark mystery that is the concept of

Press the Ctrl key on your keyboard and 
you should see the letters CC appear next 10

Control Codes because they are used by 
Scrolled to control every aspect of your 
text. They are even used to add ipeudi 
effects like the fades and wipes we will be 
using later In this tutorial, 

ATTRIBUTES 

If we take the first four Nn« x an 
example, we can see that on the first line 
is a Control Code to centre our text, 
followed by one to turn drop shadowing 
on and then one to use font number 1 9 
jail fonts have numbers which they are 
referred toby|. 

A/I the text that follows a Control Code 
will be affected - so trie word Camera 
becomes centred with a dnop shadow In

font 1 9, The second line starts with a 
Control Code to change to colour 2. so, Joe 
Hoggs appears in colour 2 [which Is 
currentty yeltow|, 

Then, after the bfank line on line three, 
line four starts with a Control Code to 
change back to colour 1 - white. 
Therefore, the word Sound appears in 
white, 

Try looking through the rest of the credits 
and working out what is happening. Once 
you have understood the ControJ Code 
system you should find that everything in 
Scroller? Is very logical 

If you want to maKe the Control Codes 
invisible, simply press the Ctrl key once 
agalr and rhey will disappear. As you 



Play the scroll with Fl and this time you should see 

cfee Director credit first pause and then fade away. You 

nould also see it re-appear again a moment later and 

: ntmue scrolling. This is obviously nut fight, so we must 

-tfc a couple more additions before we are actually 

rte- 

To correct this final problem we need to add two more 
Centra! Codes after the Fade Down code. The first Is 
—■111 1 1 Pause Code - this time Pause Code 2 - and then 
■e need to if sue the Clear Screen Code fCLS}. 

These two extra codes will ensure that after a slight 
MBit jto allow the fade to take full effect! the screen 
mm be cleared so that we don t gel a repeat of the

Add the extra codes now and view the results. The 
e«tra codes that you have just added probably seem 
totally iftogical, However, there is a good reason for 
them. 

When Scroller* gets to the end of your title It 
automatically resets things like font, colour and 
justification to its defaults. On* of the other things that 
is reset Is the fade condition - If (t were not reset and 
you did a looping title that ended with a fade down, you 
would only be able to see anything the first time 
through. This Is because the text would stilt ue faded 
down. 

And that's ft, In neiit month's issue we will be

est of the lime ARex* functions take 
care of any memory allocations 
required 3ur<jrriaoM*ly and 
transparency. Although rarely needed 
-wrmal scripts, there are, however, a number 
t Adyi to enplicJUy allocate system memory. 

You may, far example, want to set up a buffer 
pome temporary storage spate] at a known 
address and one way of doing this is by using 
- ARexx built-in GetSpaceff function; 

tMr*ii4et$ytet{i1it) 

■nere size is trie size of the memory area you 
•ant and address is its address 

ARexx re»eases this memory automatically 
• --en [he script terminates and so, 
sxtiy speaking, it is not necessary for a 
mpc to explicitly release memory acquired in 
-Tis way. 

To my mmd, relying on Ata* to do your 
reanrng up operations is a bad thing (if 
tilting else it encourages habits that will lead 
_*ou into trouble when working with other 
Bnguages). ARexx does in fact provide this 
■'eeSpatew function which allows memory to be 
■led: 

Very occasionally, a coder might need rather 
Txjre control over the memory allocation process 
and in these cases it rs necessary to use the 



memory 
test 



lower level memory handling junctions provided 
as part of the rexxsupport library. 

The AllocMemj) function provides control 
over the type of memory being allocated. It uses 
the same type of 'nags' as the underlying Exec 
function uses and you'll often see these flag 
values given in decimal form like this: 



Public Memory 


1 


Chip Memory 


2 


Fast Memory 


4 


Clear Memory 


655.36 



As well ai wondering about the purpose of the 
numbers themselves, you may well be ashing at 
this stage what a 'flag' rs. 
In the computing world, flags are simply bits 



Embedding 



Once you've got the hang of the general principles, memory allocation is easy enough to do, but 
embedding numbers jn the way I've just described is a bad practice. 

A better approach in my mind is to define some pseudo constants, te fwed variables, that act as 
constant values Being a diehard C coder at heart. I tend to adopt uppercase conventions like this 



HEAfJHrattt - ■DOQDDflOrn 

»ewf_[hjp = •mmwi 

HEHFJJIsI * 'DODDOCDv't 
PEHF ttE.tfl = 'OfJfllODOG'i 






With these definitions in place your scripts can then use express ions such as 
C2D(MEMF_CC£AIC|+C7D|M£MF_CHIP| to add the required flag vafues together, and then ui& the 
D2C(J function to produce the equivalent tour byte string needed for theAIFocMemJJ function. 

The need for the C?D(J and D2C(J conversion functions make the expressions a little more 
unwieldy than those coded in other languages, but this approach will allow you to write fiRexx 
code which makes it very clear which flags; are being set. 

Look for instance si the following rwo expressions, The second caN, despite the fact that it is a 
little more complex, leaves you in no doubt that 1 000 bytes of cleared chip memory ste berng 
allocated; 

*LlcdMi(f»M,J2tUS3Si+2)) 
ltlceKti(1IH,12tUZKNEIIfJlUIM21(IRNf_tllN)l 

When you experiment with these types of functions and want to view the flag values being 
produced, you can always use the C2X|| function to produce the hexadecimal output. For instance 
the statement: 



Sit [JKREIIFJHIPJ + LJKHEIIFJIEWt 

produces an output value of 010002 hex, confirming that the chip memory and cleaned memory 
flags are being correctly set in the resulting string, 

uVith AllecMem|J. unlike GetSpacefl, it u the responsibility of the programmer to return memory 
after use. and this is done using (he rexxsupport library FreeMernf) function. 

As far as using allorared memory is concerned, data can be written to memory locations using 
the built-in 5torage| I or Export^ functions. 

Similarly, Imporrfl can be used to read the contents of such memory back into an ARcxx string. I'll 
deal with these memory read/write functions next month 




■ Ttim teal way to gal IJ» ttaiyg at flay* 
and conversion function u^i 1 is iff

present in a variable, or perhaps a 
microprocessor's hardware register, which have 
been assigned some specific meaning. 

They are yes/no (true/false) type indicators 
which require just a single bit of storage space. 
A fongword [four bytes] of memory can 
therefore act as a store far up to 32 different 
flag values, 

By convention, if a flag bit has the value I, 
then rt is said to be set (or true|. and if the bit 
has the value it is said io be clear lot faisef. 
The decimal form of combined flag values 
always tends to hide the identity of the (Tags - 
whaL is needed is an appreciation of the state of 
the underlying bits used to represent the 
numbers. 

As far as memory allocation is concerned, a 
number of standard flag values are provided in 
the eaeC^memCry.h arid memory, i system 
include files. 

ARe** COdeis do not need to contern 
themselves with these files, except for the fact 
that they must use the standard memory 
attribute flag values when allocating memory 
(because the system functions expect this]. 

The bit position definitions at the most 
common memory attribute flags in binary form 
are as follows: 



HE HI P-J6L1-: OODO D30D C'DflO DOC] C DOC OODO 


OODO 0OC1 


HE III CMP Hm OCDJ GDCD OCDO DOC a DC-Oil ODDfl

So to allocate chip memory you'd need 
a flag value of WOQQWx. To allocate and 
zero a partrtular memory block, just add 
the appropriate memory type and memory 
dear flags together. The string 'QOOlOuLVx 
for instance would allocate cteaned chip 
memory.

NOVEMBER 1994 




he Ijeicester-based company 
must be one of the most 
established Amiga users in 
•ne business. Formed eight years 
ago and primarily concentrating its 
iinances on a wdeo camera and 
recorder. Alternative began life as t 
very small, fledgling video company 
headed by two partners, Give Warden 
and Stuart Hitking. 

After two yean of various videography 
LirojOCtS, Henri Bujko was fraught in as the 
third partner. Now heading the computer 
graphics side of the husiness. Henri explains 
why they mowed into the Amiga market. 

"We realised that we were paying so 
much everytime we went to a facility 
to get titles put on to a video and 
decided that the Amiga would be a 
cost-effective way of doing it so we 
Doucjht a 2Q0O.' 

Bujko continues: "I thought it was 
■tally amazing - it was only a 68000- 
based 2000 with 3 megs of ram in ir_ 
included with the machine was the ysual Dpaint 
and also Videoscape 3D. Hertn began to use the 
latter more and more, creating three dimensional 
drawtngs - 1 got obsessed with Videoscape 3D 
basically." 

As the company grew as did the computer 
graphics side of the operation, videos began to 
feature more and more animations and effects. 

Alternative Image were one of the First buyers 
of Commodore's 020 cards For the 2000 and 
added more memory and larger hard drives to 
cope with the inaease in computer-related work, 

Next on the shopping list were more 2000s 
and a smg*e 3O0D for rendering purposes only. 
Questioned Dn the lack Of a 4000 fcl their 
Commodore graphics a/senal, Henri is adamant: 
The basic 400O Isn't fast enough - because we 
are Fully 24-bit already, there's no real advantage 
in having the machine.' 

Their current set-up Includes four Amiga 






Blissful 



Part 2 




lOOO's. with the average spec fur each including 
an 040 accelerator card (nearly twice as fast as a 
4000 040-1, 34 megs of ram and a 500 meg hard 
drive - "just like a work station plus a 24-bit 
graphics card." 

On the software side, things have moved on 
somewhat from the carry days- J As graphics 
became mew e and more tD the fore, more and 
more people wanted sophisticated stuff so that 
side just grew and grew.' 

Now ADpro, Image FX„ Brilliance imagine 3, 
Real 3D v? and Vistaflro, as we« a Forge and 
Essence texturing make up the current toots for 
graphic creation. 

PROJECTS 

Some of Alternative's more recent computer 
wofk has been included in projects for Walkers 
Crisps, Caterpillar UK, Crookes HeatthCare and 
various fitness videos. 

They have also dabbled in pop videos and the 
X-MIX techno video series that features various 
animations accompanied by rave music 

At the moment, they are working on a secret 
project that Henri claims will be 'something that 
hasn't been done before," Take a took at some of 
the graphics go this page and you'll see that the 
underwraps 24-bit interactive game is looking 
rather special Expect a full report from Amiga

Commodore complaints 

Bujko is not a happy man when the words 'Commodore management" are mentioned within an 
Jbte range, 'I never had any respect for Commodore because, although they have put a lot of money 
.. . m the 1 ZOO as a games machine, their division for professional users is bad. Their marketing is bad, 
They just don't know what they are doing They missed out on so many opportunities,, you couldn't 

believe it " 

Indeed like Simon Hough of Crystal Haze last month. Henri makes it a rule not to tell clients that he 
uses Amigas to create graphics with 'What we rely on is showing people what we do and everybody 
that sees the Finished jesult thinks it's marvellous."

Computing as soon as we are able to release 
more details. As For the Future, it would seem that 
the graphics side oF the business will grow to be 
larger than the video production-thai began 
Alternative Images steady climb to success eight 
years ago 

While the recession did hit hard and employees 
were laid off. freelancers now form a vita! part of 
the company structure and people like Yuri Urge, 
another staff member, and Martin BJbby, a highty 
respected Imagrne artist, continue to add to the 
company's calibre of talent. 

Henri's personal ambition for the oncoming 
years is to create an animation feature using 
computer graphics exclusively 

He also has plans to move on to the much 
heralded Lightwave at some point if he's 
convinced that it's as good as everyone keeps 
telling him. Looks like another sale for NewTe*.

I It sequencers provide editing facilities. 
I <ifthough they vaiy enofmously tBiti in 
UU| terms erf ihe facilities offered and *n the 
! gwen to the varxxji options, 
jnately, the more common editing functions, 
ncse which tend to be available on most 

cere, are usually easy enough to identify from 
-anuai 1 descriptions of what they da. 
Bm term Editing' is usually taken to mean making 
i to track ar sequence data after Jt has Been 
. (n practice, the user also has some control 
both the type of data to be recorded and the 
tm Bating track/sequence dat? snoiiW be 

"he usual arrangement is that the sequencer will 

a special 'global parameters' page, or list of 
\i options, whose settings, win govern the way 
sequencer actually behaves dunog use 

r s here that the user can decide whether the 
•Renter should use an internal or an external 
dDdi, whether it should provide an audiable 
-*"onome click or not whether it should 
jtnuousfy loop through an N-bar sequence or not 
msoon. 

Other settings may involve things like being at* 
jtecl a Midi channel from being Transposed, 
•jsmatically sending Midi start messages, or 
-. 7-ting gaps between groups of messages which 
right otherwise be sent as unnecessanty dense 
eB of Midi data. 

in addi&on to all this, there may be any number of 
je-record and post-record parameters and effects 
«nch can be selected. 

The difference ttftween these two classes of 
ramrols is well worth mentioning: Prerecord 
srameters wilt govern the type of data actually 
sored in the tracks and sequences. Post-record 
srameffirs govern only how the stored Midi data e 
aayed baclt 

A good example of a common global facility is that 
y Midi message fifterrng and remapping. There are a 
w occasions when it is useful to be able to restrict 
ne sequencer's recording or use of certain types of 
V6dl messages. 

Similarly, it's often handy to be able to ask ihe 
:«|uencer to modify certain types of events. The Midi 
zcho/Thru option, which allows you to change the 
'.nannel number of incoming Midi data before it is 
awed and retransmitted, is one example of a pre- 
■ecord effect but usually much more can be done. 

Sequencer One, far instance, has a 'Set Filter 
option which allows many other rypes of Midi 
-nessages to be filtered and/or modified. 

Note on/off, pcrfyphonic aftenouch, program 
rfwnge. pitchbend, and controller information can ail 
x selectively filtered oyf. It's also possible to convert

channel aftertuuch messages into controller data 
remap controller numbers or even convert controller 
data into channel aFtertouch messages. 

These particular Sequencer One facilities are all or 
the pr e-record' type, ff, for example, you decided to 
set the Sequencer One up so that it would filter out 
prograrrKhange messages, any track data 
Subsequent recorded would end up containing no 
program change messages at an |any program- 
change messages that might haw been present in 
the original Midi input stream get lost forever] 

Most sequencers provide these types of pre-cecord 
filter options and Dr Ts Tiger Cub, Music X etc., all 
have simitar lalthcmgh not completely identical) 
facilities. 

Some sequencers are also able to produce filter 
and conversion effects after the data has been 
stored. These are post-record options and here the 
effects and settings work cm the output side of the 



Repeat performance 

At the highest level you can, if yon make n mistake while you are recording your fittest 
masterpiece, delete the trach «r sequence and Hurt again - recording, and re-recording, 
until whatever it is that you are trying to pMy sounds perfect for as near perfect as you 
need lt|. 

Sometimes, if you've made a complete hash of it, that's probably the easiest thing to do 
anyway! Usually thing* are not quite that bad and you simply find yourself In a situation 
whereby most of What you we played sounds title - but there are Just a few places where 
sJJps have been made. Wouldn't it be nice if it were possible to go back and change these 
bits that weren t quite right. 

Nowadays, of course, you Can and with a sequencer it it actually possible to look at the 
individual notes in the track or sequence, remove ones that shouldn't be there, add notes 
that should be there or perhaps alter the pitch or duration of some existing nates- 
Having made such changes, yon just hit (he sequencer's play' burton and the corrected 
version' will sound the way you wanted it to sound in the first place. 



■ Soqttencurt Ithw Bar*

ettitlnn tacilitioi 



sequencer (Bars&Ptpes is brilliant as far as this 
particular area is concerned and Music X is also good 
in this respect,. 

If you used a post-record filter option to remove 
program-change messages, you would not prevent 
these messages from being stoned in the (rack or 
sequence but even though they ended up being 
present, any programchange messages would be 
snipped Over [>.e. ignored) when the data was 
pfayed back. 

IT1E5SHGES 

The tog difference of course is that if, m the latter 
scenario, you cancelled the program-change filter 
option, any hidden' program-change messages 
would be brought to life and would again become 
part of the sequencers output stream 

Post-record opoons have the benefit of flexibility 
because you can always undo a particular setting. 
Prerecord fining options, however, do still have a 
use as far as the elimination erf the storage of 
unnecessary information is concerned |used to be 
handy on machines where memory was tight] 

They have, however, become increasingly less 
aitractwe as the general editing facilities of 
commercial sequencers hiive beepme more 
powerful. 

Nowadays, it is normally Feasible to record 
everything and then decide, retrospectrvefy, what 
Midi data is to be kept and what data should be 
discarded. 

Sequencer One. for instance, includes facilities for 
selectively stripping out particular event types from a 
given track. Again, most sequencers offer similar 
facilities and with some it is possible not onry to strip 
events, but to divert Irxwe isolated events to another 
trackl

I here comes a tune in ewrje man s life 
I when lie realises he has a spiritual side. 
| 1*5, I'm nor going to start chanting, 
here seems to be a thread running through a lot 
y Net life that everyone has a number of mystic 
ides to their personality and they use me Net as 

jpportunity for expanding these Beliefs and 
ensuring that as many people as possible get the 
feenefit of their ideals. 

Some people just collect odd beliefs and add 
nem to the growing number of weird and 
uerfui fires you can read on the Met. 
The most interesting stuff is centred around the 
wnous bogus religions which haw surfaced over 
'ecent years, which & the same ume lampoon and 
compete with the very religions they are set up to 

mimic 

Discordkinism is one of them, and the Church 
of the SubGenius is another, other Buff is just odd 
tnowiedge with nowhere else to go. like 
anformation about UFO contactees. JFK theories 
and other life deforming nonsense of every other 

:ur or another. 

You can loosely categorise the mystrcal aspects 
of the Net into these groups: 



• HighWerrdness 


• World Religions 


• Bogus Religions 


• Weird Science 


• Conspiracy Theory 


• UFOs 


• Mag* and Occult 


• Herbalism 






All these topics are readily discussed, and okay, 
you might not be looting for a new religion right 
now. Who is? But it is absolutely fascinating and 
well worth the time it takes to seek it all out 

So here rs a roundup of various hits and bobs 
I've been reading over the past few weeks. Mast 
sources cite other sources, so by copping a feed to 
one source you are connected to other sources of 
info at the same time, 

• Bogus Religioni - the best chat about bogus 
religion, and also some of the funniest and oddest

I essing about with screen colour* is a bit 
I erf a chore in Amos, as the program lacks 
^^^| any really simple palette Of colour 

inipulatron cools. Mostly you have to resort to 
ticks and ups which other people have coded - 
.-.nich rs ewictiy where [his little beauty from Mart 
Orfies In 

But this rs doubly fiendish, as Marc has figured 
out a way to itrobe the background colour on an 

os screen, and does it very elegantly. 

The code is a really good ejcampte of how to 
iweak colours in a user friendly way. its also 
making extensive use of PROCs. which as anyone 
wno Knows me will tell you I prefer not to use. but 
tsgoodnonetneifv; 

Whar? What do I use instead of PflOCs? Why 
sub-routines of course. Call me old fashioned but 
sub-routines work faster and are easier to debug 

PI?OCs need global variables to be set and other 
like that That's just my idea, and the other 
way worm just as well. Anyway, back to Marc's 
program. 

First a global variable assign: 

Global tlltt 

meaning that the vanable CBACK can be used by all 
other parts of the program, including any PROCs. 
Next we tell the program that CBACK fs equal to 
2ero in hex: 

CIMtcfl 

pne We're obviously going to dD a little bit of 
?c*adecimal work here Next a little looping 
structure to controf the action: 



for (=0 Td ;o 

•:B;nndita9b)] 
nm i 



Thii calls the CB procedure, then returns and calls it 
again, over and over until your eyes cross. 
And finally the procedure: 

Prottdtire (BIB] 

first define it, then dimension your arrays, two at 
them G and R' 



Then we do a little fine shuffling of the colours: 




The mod is a mathematical term which enables us 



Monitor it 

Obviously If you re running Easy Amos or 
Amos Pro, then you will be able to run (h* 
program with Monitor and *e* the effect 
of each function H U rxecutcj 

Its also a good idea to clear the screen 
to the background colour, or you will 
have a big brown square in the middle Of 
the screen. I alio printed an IFF (He 
containing lame tent to the scre*n, using 
Load IFF, but that is simple to do. Enjoy! 




Fade to m 

bach 




to cycle a variable through a repetitive series of 
values. It stands for modulo and works by 
returning the remainder after a division. 

SO for exampPe A=B mod C is the same as A=6- 
Jnt(B/q*C This sounds complicated out it really 
isnt. It does however produce 3 number of 
interesting effects, like allowing you to toggle 
between two values. 

to as A increases In value, B mod C creates a 
series of numbers ranging from D to C-1 . Anyway, 
bat* to the program, Having pumped your series 
of numbers to get a nice useful series of semi- 
random numbers under 4D%. you then set the 
repeat until loop in motion

And there you have it. It's a nice simple program,

program generates its numbers and therefore 
how it uses mem.

Id ne of the most annoying things about 
I fonts, including some expensive 
H professional ones, a that they don't 
j contain a full character set. 
lire, all the standard tetters and numbers are 
?, but sometimes there are punctuation marks 
g. or foreign characters that you absolutely 
: do without, or, as is the case with many 
rare fonts, the good old British pound 
al isn't there. 
*hat can you do? Well, you can buy a 
ssronal font that contains everything you 
and this will set you frack perhaps £30 - or 
?,1>e five Dr six times that if you have to buy an 
■v; family 
; Alternatively, you cauid invest in TypeSmith fif 
ck naveo't already] and fix it yourserf, Let's go 
roi>gh the steps required with a real world 
■ -Tiprf ■ the Times-Bold CG font from Gold Dish's 
Zufcne Fonts Pack, which has no fraction symbols 

Luckily for us, the standard Workbench 
; JTime; font does have fraction symbols, so we 
pinch them from that. 



fJlPDRT 






The first jab is to mm TypeSmith and import the 

ries.fcnt file from FOI\fTS;_buiret_outlines, 

- en import the rimes-Bold fib file from CGFonts: - 

one will come in with C5 Times Bold as the 
-sane of the font, whereas (he Workbench font is 
..Hied CG Times. 

Organise the two windows on the screen so 
nat they aire both visible and you can see a full 
fiaracGer in both. Click In the CG Times window 
jnd select Show Overview from the View menu. 

Click on the quarter symbol' m the overview 
jnd press RightAmiga< to copy that character to 
:he clipboard 1 . Mow close that overview, click in CI 
Tunes Bold window arid show the overview for 
chat font. 

Again, clic* on the quarter symbol jit wiB be 
white, indicating that no character exists in that 
nolef, 'and press RightA/niga-V to paste In the 
quarter symbol. Do the same for the other 
fractions if you like, 

When you are finished you can close the 
Workbench CG Times font as we no longer need 
to use it. 

Double click on the quarter symbol in the CS 
Times Bold overview to open a window for that 
character. At the moment that symbol has a width 
of zero, so the first thing to do is give it a width. 

Ensure the quarter symbol is the active 



HI I change 





Step 1; copy the qumrtar symbol from 
CG FIdm into tfw clipboard 




Don i torgci Ic uivm your 
characters it width! 



window, then select Metrics from the Edit menu. 
In the Width gadget type 9O0, press Return and 
hit the Use gadget. 

You should see a vertical dashed line appear to 
the right of the quarter symbol. Dp the same for 
the other fractions if you have added them to this 
font. 

Right, that's the widths sorted, The final step 
before exporting the font is to adjust the 
appearance of the fractions slightly so that they 
better fit the design of a bold font. 

Click in the quarter symbol window and press 
RighCAmiga-A to select all the points, then select 
Scale Irom the Path menu. Ensure that you have 
the top radio gadget selected so that the scaling 



ouer again 



If you ever need to add to thrs font again, you should start from scratch using the qriginai Times- 
Bold, lib file otherwise even more points per character will be added, and after only two generations 
the font wiU become almost half a megabyte tug and fail to display. 

Vou can type the new quarter symbpl in ProPage in two ways: either press AJt-5, or hold down the 
Aft key and type I SB on the numeric keypad - 186 being the number of the quarter symbol in 
ProPage's character set. 

The half symbol is number 1 89. three-quarters is I "90. (These character numbers are defined in the 
cg.ehardaia file in the CGFonts: drawer. | 

Naturally you can alter and add to fonts for use m other packages - I've used ProPage and Times- 
Bold merely as an example. Another candidate for alteration are the CSTimes fonts that come with 
PageStream: these don't have the @ "at" symbol m them, which again you can pinch from 
Workbench's CCTFimes font 

One last thing before J leave you to it. If you ever find that your new character won't display, it'll 
almost certainly be because you forgot to give it a width m TypeSmith,

?nd hit OK, 

This will sJightly fatten the verficaf Strokes of 
the character so tfiat it is m keeping with the fat 
vertical strokes of the rest of me font- Mote that 
we cannot scale the character vertically 
otherwise n wiil become taller than all the other 
characters and Ipa* weird- 
Again, do the same fo; the other fractions. 
Ana that's it. All that's left is to alter our font 
attributes to grve our font a unique name and ID 
so that it does not affect the old Times-Bold font. 



IDEnilTV 



So select Font Attributes from the Edit menu 
and change .both the FontName and the 
FullName to CSTimesBoldQTR, and change the 
Font JD number to, say 999 - nothing much on 
the Amiga uses (his font 10 number, but u would 
be wise to change it anyway; create your own ID 
system if yqu like, Don't change anything else m 
the Font Attributes window Jteave the copyright 
message alonef| and nit OK to finish 

Mow we can export it as a CG font, not 
forgetting to select the gadget that ensures the 
,dat and . metric files ate created for ProPage. for 
heaven's sake, don't overwrite the old Times- 
Bold .lib file - you might need it again some time 
- call your new font Tfmes-BoidGtr.Jib or 
anything else you fancy. 

The filesize of this new font will be quite a lot 
bigger than the old Times-Bold, lib file. That's 
because in the import/export process TypeSmith 
has had to add more points to every character.
