NEWS 

Any hopes that the 1200 would be 

released for under E200 have been well 

and truly quashed with the news that the 

relaunched model will cost 099. This 

means the machine will reappear at E50 

more than when it left the marketplace in 

the summer of last year. The reason given 

for such an increase is the cost of higher 

charges for rushed manufactunng, casing, 

and the increased cost of DRAM_ 

The 98020-based 1200 is expected to 

hit UK high streets at the end of 

September with a maximum of 60.000 

allocated to British distributors. 

The biggest shock, however, are the 

prices rumoured for the re-release of the 

4000T - alter an American distributor 

announced that they were to sell the 

4000T for $3,500, Amiga Technologies 

fired back saying that this simply wasn't 

the case and no price had been decided 

upon yet. 

Since then, a meeting has taken place 

in Philadelphia where several key figures 

from Escom/Amiga Technologies including 

Petro Tyschtschenko, Senior Vice 

President of Escom and General Manager 

of Amiga Technologies, and many distributors 

from round America, attended to 

discuss the Amiga's future in the US. 

Apparently at the top of the debating list 

was price. 

The rumoured cost for the 4000T will be 

in the $2700 region - the reason given 

was the expense of parts being put 

together costing that much. 

A surprising plan also unveiled is that 

the 4000T will receive no advertising from 

Do limiga5 in F5com 5ho1J5 

It has been confirmed by Petro Tyschtschenko. 

Senior Vice President of Escom and General 

Manager of Amiga Technologies, that the Amiga 

will not be appearing in any of the Escom shops 

dotted rourfd the country. The reason for this decision 

was explained by Tyschtschenko: "We used 

to stock the Apple range in our shops but it was 

unsuccessful. We would need people who were 

Amiga educated but the Escom shop staff are very 

much geared towards the PC." 

Instead, it looks like the main bulk of sales 

will be made through the independent retailers 

and any chain stores that decide to come on 

board.

Amiga Technologies in the States on its 

relaunch - Tyschtschenko told Amiga 

Computing that any advertising would be 

handled by the distributors themselves. 

There will be some 1200s winging their 

way to the US of A. Johnalhan Anderson, 

the new general manager of Amiga 

Technologies UK, explained: The States 

will be taking the 1200 in small numbers 

but we've found the American consumer 

prefers the lower-style type computer and 

not the look of the 1200." 

As for the 40001's relaunch into Britain, 

according to one UK company, White 

Knight Technology, they were told by 

Silica, the distributors, that the high-end 

machine will definitely be released in the 

040 version at the confirmed retail price of 

£1,900 + VAT. It will come with 2 meg chip 

RAM. 4 meg FastRAM and a 1.2 gig SCSI 

2 hard drive. 

The fact that for this price there will be 

no monitor or CD drive included in the 

setup has drawn gasps of horror from both 

sides of the Atlantic. Also, the 060 version 

to be released later on is rumoured to cost 

an estimated E2,150 + VAT. No-one at 

Amiga Technologies was able to give a 

definite answer on pricing at the time of 

going to press. 

Tyschtschenko also commented that 

they still weren't sure how they were going 

to market the 4000T on its arrival in the 

UK: 'The US market is very buoyant and a 

good market for the 4000T, but we're still 

planning what we'll be doing for Europe - 

Fes a very niche market for the machine." 

Meanwhile, the manufacture of the 

new lite for IllytaPro 

The much-heralded landscape package has 

received a useful ally in the form of GeoMomh. The 

utility is a landscape morph ing program that allows 

the user to create surrealistic fly-by animations. 

There are several types of morph available: 

Linear morphs where the entire landscape changes 

at a constant rate, accelerated morphs where the 

Change accelerates or decelerates, and 'wipes' 

where the change starts at one side or corner of the 

landscape and sweeps across. 

machine is taking place in a factory near 

Bordeaux in France by a company called 

Solectron. For your £399, Amiga 

Technologies is throwing in software as 

part of a bundle to go along with the 

machine. The Scala MM300 has been 

announced as a package that will go with 

the system, but it's doubtful the package 

will ever appear for the floppy-based 1200, 

Anderson commented: - 

There's including the Scala n system o with a floppy- 

pbased o 1200 i n with t no hard drive it would be 

iimpractical. n The 1200 with a hard drive 

though is much more practical and useful.' 

Questions are still being asked about the 

size of hard drive that will be provided a 

figure floating around currently is 170Mb. 

Bad news, though, came in the shape of 

the CD32 - apparently there are no plans 

presently for resuming the console in the 

States or the UK other than being possibly 

used as a key technology for kiosk 

displays. This was verified by Jonathan 

Anderson, but he hastened to point out that 

there are deals going on with various 

companies including a Canadian bank to 

use the CD32 in the commercial arena. 

The future of the FMV cartridge is looking 

decidedly shaky as well if reports are to be 

believed. 

There was a meeting between the 

general managers of all the European subsidiaries 

on 3 August where many matters 

such as pricing, distribution and much more 

were resolved. Any official news will have 

to wait though until the press conference to 

be held by Amiga Technologies on 16 

August. More news next month,

Amigd Technologie5 Oh team Amiga arthiterture 

Met the failed attempt by David Pleasance to buy Commodore 

UK as an on-going concern, the new face of Amiga Technologies 

based on Maidenhead near the old headquarters of C=UK has 

appeared on the second floor of a high-street rented office. 

Heading the team is Jonathan Anderson, ex-Product Marketing 

Executive for C=UK. with support from five other former 

Commodore employees including national account manager Bob 

Burrodge and sales manager John Smith. 

Anderson is quick to point out "that its a real team effort here. 

We're working together to make the Amiga an absolute success 

on its relaunch" 

And for those wondering what happened to David Pleasance 

and Cohn Proudfoot, former managing directors of the UK subsidiary, 

Anderson sheds a veiled hght on the subject: 'They were 

offered a package and subsequently declined the offer 

Multimedia on the inCIPOP 

After the announcement of ImageVision from Imagetab last month, another company in the form of Optonica are 

on the verge of releasing a multimedia package in September to rival Scala•s, There are two versions up for grabs 

-MM Experience and MM Experience Pro_ 

The former is aimed at home users allowing the combination of graphics, animations, music modules, text 

sound samples and CDXL video into standalone presentations or productions. The package comes with a free 

distribution player so that any end results can be circulated among potential viewers. 

The MM Experience Pro is suited to the 

professional developer wanting to create 

CD-ROM-based projects, point of information, 

and point of sale projects and interactive 

TV interface systems. Featuring all the 

teddies of the standard version, the more 

advanced additional functions include ani- 

mated menus, optimisation for CD, project 

management facilities, CO32 controller 

support, ISO prep and ISO build functions, 

protect chaining and more, 

The MM Experience retails at £39.95 and 

the Pro version at E249.95_ 

Also announced is InfoNexus 2, the file 

management system, with a host of 

improvements and new functions at £2995

he US Amiga market is cau- 

ltiously optimistic about Escom's 

prospects for reviving interest in 

the Amiga on this side of the pond_ 

New Amiga 4000Ts are on the way for 

US customers, but it appears at press 

time that Escom don't believe there's 

enough interest in the Al200 over here 

to justify releasing an NTSC version in 

North America. This has a large group 

of dedicated Amiga followers anxious to 

upgrade to AGA but unable to justify an 

A4000T upset. 

Rumours of a stratospheric $3.500 

price for a basic A40001 unit hit the 

nets in July and nearly caused even 

high-end Amiga users to panic, 

However, Escom issued a statement 

that no price had yet been set, and it 

appears that the units will sell for under 

$3000, Even at that price, though, it 

appears that Escom views the A4000's 

North American market as strictly

Oregon Research have updated 

their popular Termite comms software 

(distributed in the UK by 

HiSoft) to version 1.10, which 

sports a number of new features 

and bug fixes. Among the 

improvements are built-in ZModem 

(the program still supports external 

XPR protocols as well). built-in 

ANSI and VI102 terminal emula- 

tions, as well as XEM-based support 

for the RIP graphics terminal 

emulation popular on PC BEIS systems, 

much faster scrolling, and a 

multitasking review buffer. 

Other enhancements include 

chat window history, an improved 

dialer, support for multiple 

palettes. ARexx support in the 

macro subsystem, and an 

improved manual and quick-reference 

card. Most of the nagging 

bugs that plagued the initial 

release have been squashed — I 

have yet to see a crash in this 

version. 

The update price in the US is 

$10 for a new disk and quick reference 

card, or S15 with the 

improved manual as well. For

SoftWood, once the tiny publisher of a few top-notch

one of the big players in the US Amiga market, The 

company recently purchased the assets of nowdefunct

that they'll be carrying Phase 5 hardware products in 

North America, including the Cybervision 64 graphics 

card. Blizzard 1230-III accelerator and 1220-4 

RAM board, Fastlane Z3 SCSI card, and Cyberstorm 

060 accelerator for the A4000. Other exciting news 

is that SoftWood have hinted that the company will 

be working with Phase 5 to bnng 68060 accelerators 

to the Al2011 A2000, and A3000 series as well 

In the meantime, Final Writer is seeming to be an 

oddly inappropriate name for the company's word 

processor. SoltWood has now released version 4 of 

this 'Final' program. The updated version now sports 

an improved user interface with click-tab access to 

pages, sections, and requester areas, making many 

functions a click or two away and saving the trouble 

of working through layers of requesters.

well as the ability to pull up readability statistics. And

whether CIS will support Amiga developers 

who want to create front-ends for our 

favourite computer Hopefully they will, as 

it appears CIS isn't going to update the 

text-based portions of its services, b 

rather concentrate on building its Mosa

CompuServe also announced that 

they're going to create a second service 

code-named WOW!, that will be geared 

more towards novice computer users.

Creations have all dropped below the 

horizon for one reason or another. It's not 

necessarily all connected with piracy, but 

it has to be said that piracy on the Amiga 

is rife. 

Sometimes people use piracy as 

an excuse because the only way they 

can get to see a piece of software in 

these Amiga shop-free days is to get a 

dodgy copy of it from a friend. This is particularly 

true of serious software - shops 

are pretty much guaranteed to be able 

to sell a E25 game. but a piece 

of software retailing at E250? They 

aren't likely to want to take the chance it 

doesn't sell. 

The software companies can get 

around this to some extent by making 

more demo versions of their software, limited 

time versions, save disabled ver- 

sions. versions where you can only use a 

tiny area of the screen. It would help people 

make the decision to buy and would 

probably result in increased revenue for 

the companyThey will, of course, still 

have the problem of ensuring a wide distribution 

of these demo versions, but with 

magazines panting for new material and 

the Internet becoming ever more popular, 

only the insular of companies will find 

themselves with difficulties. 

But the area hit hardest Is certainly 

games. People rip games off left, right 

and centre_ It's not just an Amiga 

phenomenon - every week in the leisure 

computing trade mag CTW, some 

company or other is claiming they have 

lost millions of dollars (billions in some 

cases) in revenue owing to pira-y. This is 

sometimes because a pirated •sion of a 

game is In some way improved, giving the 

player endless lives or the ability to install 

the game onto a hard drive, and I may 

be in a tiny minority, but I won't buy a 

game that won't take advantage of extra 

RAM, processor power or additional 

floppy drives. 

I'm also not keen on games that don't 

install on a hard drive. Perhaps its about

dangerou5 problem 

time games companies looked to the 

somewhat higher end of the market. After 

all, who's more likely to buy a game - a 

person who actively expands their Amiga 

and is willing to spend money on it, or 

someone whose only investment has 

been a joystick? 

Escom need to have a concrete 

software strategy in place. It's all very well 

getting the hardware back in place, but 

without companies like ASDG and 

LucasArts back in the fold, serious and 

games users of the Amiga may as well 

give up now and get that Mac or PC. 

Perhaps, like Microsoft, Escom need to 

have an in-house software team creating 

new word processors, games and image 

processing packages. They could afford to 

get the best programmers out there, particularly 

those in the public domain and 

shareware fields, and really bring some 

quality software back onto our beloved 

platform. 

Added revenue from software sales 

could help to bolster R&D budgets, 

pushing the Amiga back towards the 

forefront of computer technology - where 

it belongs and was ten years ago. We are 

getting faster base level machines with a 

greater capacity for RAM, and hard drives

The revolutionary NEW S-VHS ProGrae 24RT Plus, with Teletext, is not only the best way to get 

crisp colour video images into your Amiga, it also costs less than any of its rivals. This real 

time, PALSECAM-NTSC, 24-Bit colour frame grabber/digitiser has slashed the price of 

image grabbing on the Amiga, and at the same time has received rave reviews for its ease 

of use and excellent quality results. ProGrab Plusn't is now S-VHS compatible too! 

ProGrabrm has received honours from just about every Amiga magazine! 

And... with ProGrae you needn't be an expert in Amiga Video Technology either...

A couple of DFA's more unusual features 

is that it has been designed with

any of the usual read/write conflicts. 

The other unusual feature is that if you

Is your life a mess? Never know what you 

are meant to be doing next? Always 

forgetting about loved ones birthdays, 

weddings or bar mitzvah? Well, 

epoch Voyager can help you get back on 

track. 

This is a fully-featured Personal 

Information Manager, so if anyone asks 

you know what to tell them, Voyager 

allows you to store all your coming 

appointments, special events, deadlines or 

whatever you need reminding about. 

The main screen of Voyager is a diary 

which allows you to select a specific day 

from which you can enter a start time, 

an end time, a category, an occasion, a 

location and up to nine pages of text. 

You can also have a daily planner with 

up to 50 lines of text in each entry. 

Whenever you run epoch Voyager, it 

will check the next seven days to see if 

you have any entries in your diary. 

Along with the plain diary, it is possible 

to add anniversaries so every year you 

will be warned of impending birthday or 

wedding anniversaries. Along with these 

features you can also add simple 

reminder messages. By entering a date 

and a +- days amount, you can jog your 

memory on a daily basis — hopefully 

never forgetting some important task.

When the Amiga first arrived ten years 

ago. its custom sound chips were state 

of the art, and even today the sample 

quality produced by the Amiga is superior 

to the PeeC's basic Sound Blaster 

and Ab lib boards. 

The fact that other platforms have 

realised that people might actually want 

their computers to make some sound 

has meant that over the last few years a 

number of incompatible sample formats 

have emerged. 

Along with the Amiga's own IFF-8SVX 

format there is Wave. Voice. Sun Audio, 

Maud, AIFF and not to mention plane 

raw sample formats — most of which can 

handle 8 or 16-bits, mono or stereo, and 

additional sample compression. 

Play16 will allow you to play all the 

above mentioned sample formats and 

more. There are a number of ways to 

use Play16, the simplest being to run it 

and use the file requester to choose a 

sample_ Play16 will then auto detect the 

sample type and play it. 

There are some more advanced 

options available which can only be 

accessed from a shell. Two of the more 

interesting ones it provides include 

direct Maestro Pro output, if you own 

such a board, and also that it supports a 

new sound driver system called Cyber 

Sound.

Epookiloympor 

If you want to use the 14-bit output of Play16 you are 

going to need the Cyber Sound device, and being 

the nice chaps and chappesses that we are, here it 

is. Cyber Sound allows your Amiga to produce sound 

output at 14-bit quality, at speeds of up to 60KHz, 

depending on what system you have. The drawback 

is that it requires more processor power and is only 

really usable with an 020. 

This miraculous feat is achieved by mixing two 

channels, one playing at maximum volume, the other 

at minimum - so producing a stereo output uses all 

Four channels. The end result is that playing a 16-bit 

sample produces a lot less 'hiss' than the normal 

way of cropping it down to 8-bits. 

To get the best results, a calibration preference 

program is provided. This allows you to test the 

Amiga's sound chips over its entire sound range. and

Scream Tracker 3, and the scream 

tracker file extension is 'S3M'. hence 

the name PS3M. 

Even though trackers were invented 

on the Amiga. the emergence of highend 

sound cards for PCs has meant 

that PC trackers now support up to 32 

channels at 16-bit. It might sound 

impossible for the Amiga to reproduce 

this feat, but an Al200 with fast memory 

will happy manage 18 channels at about 

24KHz, 

One of the interesting features is that 

you can specify what speed the samples 

should be played at, and this 

ranges all the way down to 4KHz - 

although any thing above 20KHz gives 

good results. Along with the normal support 

for Protracker and Scream tracker 

modules, PS3M will also handle 6-8 

channel Fast tracker, 1-32 channel style 

Protracker, and finally mulliTracker 

modules. 

You are not just restricted to the 

typical mono or stereo sound output 

either. PS3M has support for fake 

surround sound, or even real surround 

sound for all you people with Dolby 

Prologic decoders, and if that was not 

enough for you, PS3M can replay at 

I4-bit quality. A word of warning, however. 

If you want to use all these 

features, do not expect to have much 

processor time left.

Tiff Data Top 

Author: Bert. Wynants 


Tiff is a widely-used image format in the 

computing world, even though it has neve 

really been used on the Amiga - probably 

because IFF is a good all rounder. 11 is 

about time someone did a Tiff data type, 

because it was about the only major 

picture format that was not supported by 

them. 

This is compatible with version 6 of the 

TIFF specs and supports 1,2,3.4.5, 

6,7,8,24. and 32-bit depth images along 

with line art, grey scale, palette images, 

24-bit colour AGB. and finally 32-bit colour 

CMYK. 

To get the best out of the data type you 

really need 2 meg, and a hard drive to 

store temporary files.

Yak has been around for a good while 

now and works along the lines of 

MuItiCX. It provides lots of useful little 

additions to Workbench_ The main part of 

Yak gives you better control over your 

windows. You have all the usual click to 

fontback and screen cycling, along with a 

very comprehensive hot key function 

which allows you to more or less assign 

any type of function to a certain key combination 

- such as Execute a CLI 

Command or an ARexx script, Insert text.

Unisys started charging people for the use 

of the Lzw compression algorithms. This 

meant that anyone writing a program that 

could read or write GIF files would have to 

pay royalties. 

This nghtly angered a lot of people. as 

GIF is one of the widest used file formats. 

So Cornpuserve got a group of smart programmers 

together who went about creating 

a new improved, son of GIF file format, 

PNG is the fruit of their labours, It has a 

large number of features such as support 

of true colour depths of up to 4S-bits, and 

alpha channels. One of the most important 

is that PNG is thought to be completely 

royally free, so hopefully can be freely 

used by one and all. 

The PNG data type is by those lovely 

people at Cloanto, and it supports all parts 

of the PNG format. At the moment, the 

only PNG image you may have is the 

test.png that came with the archive. 

However, this format will gain a lot of support 

- Image Studio and Person Paint 

already have external loaders that allow 

them to read and write PNG files, and 

more programs will follow. 

So install the data type and help PNG 

become the detach) loss less image

you effectively have a traditional genlocked

SOFTWARE 

A joint project from 

Active Software and 

Ground Zero, Zoom 

is a new release 

that claims to feature 

their best PD 

from over the past 

six months. It distin• 

guishes itself from 

other geneial,collections, 

however, 

by an impressive 

2oom 

looking interface that promises the sort of ease of use that 

Amiga CD needs. 

When it comes to the crunch, however. Zoom fails to 

beat the Aminet CDs that have set the standards in accessibility. 

One major reason for this is that most (if riot all) of the 

files are archived using DMS. which means they have to be 

extracted on to floppy disks. 

In practice this means that when it comes to using the file 

you've extracted you have to leave the interlace and go to 

the workbench. Though this is not really much of a problem 

with files that fit on one floppy, it becomes off-putting 

when dealing with larger programs — especially since it's 

impossible to know which are worth the effort. 

EXTRACTION 

In contrast, Aminet predominately features LHA files 

which require less trouble to extract. This weakness on 

Zooms part is a shame because in other respects the package 

works very well. It's large contents summary box is one 

good idea, for example, that would make a welcome 

addition to other collections in the future. 

Unfortunately, the actual contents aren't on a par either. 

There are huge amounts of babe pictures padding the CD 

out, and though these are Obviously popular sellers, they're 

of little use for anything computer related Games take up a 

significant proportion of the disk, with around 70 card sets 

for use with Klondike III patience included as part of the collection. 

Considenng the amount of space available on CD, it 

would have been nice if these hadn't been compressed so 

they could have all been used directly from CD. 

More serious users will at least find some interest in the 

Ground Zero Imagine 3D collection, and there's also some 

20Mb's worth of Magic WS data to choose from. DTP users 

will find the addition of themed mono clipart another 

worthwhile addition. 

What finally undermines Zoom, however, is the fact that 

desprte its competent interface, the disk contents have Dot 

been organised into helpful categories. In fairness, the CD's 

fun emphasis and colourful front-end do make a welcome 

change, but the flaws mean it doesn't make the top league.

Image collections on CD have 

been popular from the outset, but 

Giga Graphics gains an instant 

edge by virtue of its sheer size, For 

just over EX the package comprises 

of four CDs packed with more than 

10,000 pictures plus a few handy utilities 

to allow buyers to Make the most of its 

contents. 

Considering there's over 2Gb of information 

here to search through, it was to be hoped 

that there would be proper categonsation of 

the images. It's unfortunate, then, that the 

images are simply organised alphabetically, 

which as usual makes for an almost hopeless 

mix-up of subject matter. 

To give an idea of the problem, out of one 

of the randomly chosen 'C drawers came 

these pictures which followed one after the 

other: a fantasy painting of a woman, Captain 

Kirk from Star Trek, Capital Hill and a rendered 

car. In other words, finding what you 

want isn't always easy; on the other hand. 

guessing why some of the pictures are in a 

particular location makes for an entertaining 

game when bored. 

Thankfully, the collection Is largely 

redeemed by the inclusion of a thumbnail preview 

catalogue, so though the pictures are 

rather jumbled, at least skimming through the 

disc contents is greatly speeded up. 

Given the product's size, a fair assessment

science fiction in an area which is already 

1 

overpopulated with the same Star Trek and 

1 

Babylon 5 pictures, this collection is more like 

1 

a general image bank. 

1 

All the standard tare is included, but 

1 

fortunately there are many other fields to 

• 

choose from, Pictures of supermodels and 

1 

swimsuits do. however, crop up all over the 

6 

place, but at least there's some fair play 

thanks 

, 

to the inclusion of a number of musclebound 

_ 

hunks as well. 

Cars, trains, space, planes - as you'd 

expect, there's an abundance of material to 

keep the most avaricious anorak happy. But 

there's also a great deal of useful material 

too. Sunsets, world locations and landscapes 

are available in huge quantities and often the 

quality of the photography is high. Similarly. 

dose-ups of roses and flowers could be put to 

a number of different uses 

PROS AND CONS 

There are numerous painted backgrounds 

available, while photographs of stones, bricks 

and other textures are there for 3D tans to 

wrap onto their objects. Considering the size 

of the collection, LightWave and Imagine 

users may be disappointed to find it lacks any 

actual models; in my view, however, the collection 

benefits by concentrating on being a 

definitive 2D image bank. 

Flags, famous album covers, military 

multimedia enriffloodedia — 

equipment, ray-traced - the list goes on and 

on, and only occasionally does the quality 

drop to below average. Fans of fantasy artist 

Boris Vallejo will be pleased to see a huge 

amount of his arguably pornographic but certainly 

talented paintings covenng a sizeable 

section of the first CD, 

One further complaint does need raising 

however, that being the amount of image 

duplication in the collection. In fact, the Vallejo 

collection is a good case in point, with the 

same pictures cropping up three or four times 

in close proximity. 

The images are generally in IFF format In 

addition to all the pictures. Viewtek has been 

included so that everything required to look at 

the images is included with the package. The 

inclusion of Personal Paint is also welcome, 

since users will be able to load up images and 

work on them. 

It's a shame, then, that it's an untranslated 

German version. making it difficult to use for 

the majority of us. The slapdash way in which 

some things are thrown onto some CD collections 

- and this is not an unusual example - 

does not bode well for the Amiga's future CD 

market. 

So overall, Giga Graphics is not short of 

flaws. Anyone who can find uses for a wide 

range of imagery. however, cannot help but be 

impressed by the value for money such a 

huge and far reaching collection offers. In 

short, it's should make a worthwhile buy.

Implementation 


Overall 8 

The appeal of having 

an entire encyclopaedia 

stored on a Single 

compact disc is obvious, 

so it's no surprise 

that many suppliers 

are selling out 

of the Grolier CD 

reviewed a few 

months back In its 

the Hutchinson 

Encgclopaedia 

place, the equally old 

Hutchinson electronic encyclopaedia has resurfaced, so 

we decided to see how well it's stood the test of lime. 

Though it was originally designed for use with the 

curv, most new purchasers are likely to be using emulation 

software on their Al200s, so it's good that Epic have 

included alternative keyboard controls. Untortunately, 

however, this is not enough to overcome every compatibility 

problem. For example, though the instructions stressed 

that it was essential to boot from the disc, this proved to 

be impossible using our Squirrel. We did manage to run it 

from workbench, but the text appeared in such a small 

font it was difficult to read - on the CD32 the articles are 

much more readable. 

There are also problems using the encyclopaedia 

because the Al 200 lacks a control pad, and navigating 

the interlace requires combinations of Amiga keys, ALT 

keys and the cursor arrows. Sometimes users can get 

stuck in one article and it's not at all clear how to get back 

to the main menu. 

Basically, this makes it impossible to recommend for 

Squirrel users, but it does seem to work perfectly well on 

the 0032. With over 25.000 entries plus pictures and 

soundclips, for those who own the console the Hutchinson 

CD still sounds like a worthwhile product. 

In comparison to the Electronic Grolier, however, The 

Hutchinson doesn't seem to work so-well. The first problem 

is the peculiarly flickery screen which makes using the 

disc painful on the eye. 

Though there are 2000 photographs and 250 sound 

clips, they are sparsely distributed among all the plain text 

articles. Considering this is supposed to be a multimedia 

product, the information is often blandly presented to the 

point where most people would rather use the traditional 

paper version. 

With searching tools that also seem inferior to the 

Grolier, this CD unfortunately doesn't cut it in the modem 

multimedia age. Its only its price, plus the fact that the 

Grolier is hard to get, that makes it even worth considering 

these days.

SOFTWARE 

World of (Wart 

Desktop publishing is no longer the sole 

preserve of people who can afford 

expensive packages like Pagestream 3, 

with word processors now offering 

drawing tools and the option to import 

pictures as standard. 

PD collections have always been a 

good source of clip art, but finding the 

right material to suit your documents 

and, equally importantly, your printer. 

was not always easy. A CD with over 

40,000 mono and colour images 

therefore holds an instant and obvious 

attraction. 

World of Clipad is particularly large 

thanks to the fact it's spread across two 

CDs. and there's a huge and diverse 

range of subject matter to choose from. 

Furthermore, the material appears to 

have been well selected to suit the bulletins, 

pamphlets, fanzines and newsletters 

the CD will probably be most used 

for_ 

There are large drawers dedicated to 

business and education, for example, as 

well as general symbols that will be useful 

for just about anybody. There's also 

work for computer and technology categories 

which should please those who 

want to write about their Amigas as well 

as use them. 

Natural world drawings are always 

popular in clip art collections and unsurprisingly, 

this CD has a good range of 

dog, cat, insect and sealife pictures to 

choose from. Transport, Christmas and 

people are categories that are similarly 

well represented. Pictures range greatly 

Utilitip5 1J1ole55ional 

There are some Amiga users that have absolutely 

no time for games. As a recent survey 

proved, the inclusion of the smallest PD shoot- 

'em-up on the cover disks will have some people 

criticising what they see as a waste of space. 

Such serious users might therefore sit up at 

the prospect of a dedicated utilities CD, and 

that's exactly what this PDSoft product is about. 

Business software, graphics production, hard 

drive tools, virus killers. DTV — you name it. if it's 

anything to do with productivity computing it's 

here on the disk_ 

The CD has been around for a while now. 

however, and in some ways it's beginning to look 

rather dated. In terms of organisation, it really is 

a pain to use in just about every way imaginable, 

Basically, the CD consists of 1500 floppies 

worth of files and programs transferred onto disc. 

Searching through the drawers just brings up 

thousands of identical, nameless Icons with no 

clue to their contents. This means you have to go 

to the alphabetic directory in a separate text file, 

seek out items of interest, and then take a note 

of the relevant disk number. Even the numbers 

on the program drawers are made peculiarly difficult 

to read. It's another bunch of DMS programs 

as well, which leads to the same slow transfer on 

to floppy you get with Zoom. It's worse here 

because you have even less of an idea of what 

you're going to get in the end. 

This is all a bit of a shame since many of the 

contents will please the more serious Amiga 

users out there. On the educational side, there's 

a Language Tutor that provides an effective 

vocabulary tester for French, German and 

Spanish. For video there's a titter program, for

in size, with some of them only suitable 

for printing in a very small scale. 

Others, however, are about five times 

larger than your Amiga's display, making 

them suitable for large scale use 

with printers boasting high DPIs. 

The standard of many of the drawings 

is exceptionally high, with a lot less 

hit-and-miss quality control than some 

of the product's rivals. Some of the 

images are highly accurate and 

detailed, but the inclusion of well drawn 

but simpler pictures and charicatures 

proves equally important. 

For those who want to print in colour 

there's also a huge number of colour 

pictures covering almost as many categories, 

and once again the quality 

remains high. In terms of breadth of 

coverage, therefore. World of Clipart is 

hard to fault, 

Sc far so good, but unfortunately 

there are a few complaints that have to 

be raised. Categorisations into drawers 

has been done consistently, but the 

actual fi le names are inexcusably 

unhelpful. With only numbers distinguishing 

each individual picture, finding 

the right picture can be unnecessarily 

time consuming. It was also strange to 

find pictures in the IFF drawer had bits 

missing for some reason. 

Of course the CD is padded Out by 

duplicating images in just about every 

image format available, but this is a plus 

point when it comes to flexibility. What's 

more, a program called Transition has 

been included to allow Amiga owners to 

convert file formats. 

The odd flaw aside, this is a high 

value, high-quality collection that beats 

any of the competition I've yet seen, 

Useful for just about anybody, World of 

Clipart comes recommended.

music there are the usual PD music editors plus a 

collection of reasonable quality sound samples to

Idea of how much matenal is available. 

Frankly, however, I just couldn't be bothered 

spending hours trying to find the good stuff. This 

one is reserved purely for the most patient of the 

teochies.

s I start this article I am dreading 

being able to finish it. I'm not 

worried about going over the top 

in terms of copy. I am worried about being 

able to fill the page with pertinent information. 

The main reason for my worry is that 

the Sonnet Doubler is so simple it defies 

belief. Simple in its operation and simple 

to install 

It arrives in a small cardboard box which 

also contains a tool that looks a bit like a 

small comb for removing the 68040 chip 

from your 3640 daughterboard, an earthing 

strap, a sheet of instructions and the 

doubler itself. The instructions give you 

guidelines on removing your existing 

68040, covering all the different setups like 

the epoxied heatsink, the clip-on heat sink, 

and the paper-clip type spring clip heat 

sink. Once you have tremulously 

removed the heart of your 

machine and pried the living 

soul from it, you can then insert 

the Sonnet Doubler. 

II consists of a board roughly 

twice the width of one 68040 socket. 

with pins on its underside at one 

end to insert into your now empty 

68040 socket, and the new 68040 at the 

other end of the board sitting under a 

combination heatsink and fan. There Only 

appears to be one chip on the board, other 

than the '040 of course, along with a 

sou* of resistors. 

OVER-CLOCKED 

Motorola only make 68040s clocked up 

to 40IVHz as tar as I know, so the heatsink 

and fan have to work even harder to cope 

with an over-clocked CPU. The fact that it 

is running hotter than the normal '040 

seems to make little difference and cer- 

tainty didn't cause our machine to crash 

any more than normal. 

Owners of machines other than A4000s 

may have trouble fitting the Doubler owing 

to the increased height requirements - 

stands about an inch and a half proud of 

the daughterboard. You might be able to fit 

it into a 3000T but, unless they are willing 

to make senous modifications to the case. 

A3000 owners will probably be out of luck. 

What speed does it run at? Well. 

Sysinfo, that notoriously unreliable benchmark, 

gives us a rating of about 

38.13MIPS and 9.66MF1.,.OPS. Running it 

EIF a dee doe dah 

d 

Too warped 

to fit? 

I asked Bhttersoft whether the Sonnet 

Doubler would work on any other 

68040 accelerator card but it seems 

that most other accelerators don't use 

the 68040 at 25MHz, they all overclock 

to 28MHz. This means the 

Doubler will unfortunately not work as 

it actually relies on there being a 

25MHz clock rate. 

through AIBB gives us results of around 

twice the speed of our standard 040 

rating. But is E399 too much to pay for 

doubting the speed of your Amiga? It's 

certainly on the edge of acceptability as 

far as I'm concerned when you could have 

a machine that is at least four times the 

Nearly all PC motherboards these days come with what is known as a ZIF socket 

for the CPU to sit in. ZIF is an acronym for Zero insertion Force and works by 

having a socket with overwide holes in it for the CPU's pins to go into. There is 

a lever on the side of the socket which, once you have inserted your Pentium or 

whatever, you pull over until it locks once more 

This basically locks the pins of the CPU in contact with a conductive layer 

inside the socket. No more fiddling about trying to pry a chip out of its socket, 

levering it this way and that with a small screwdriver, hoping you won't bend 

any pins - just flip the lever back and the chip will just lift out. 

As to why there aren't any ZIF sockets on Amiga motherboards or accelerators. 

I can only surmise that this Is because the 6800 range of processors isn't 

so swiftly obsolete (either that or the sockets cost too much).

speed for about a grand. Admittedly, that 

is over twice the amount the Doubler 

costs, but you would also have your original 

3640 board to sell, and they fetch 

somewhere between E300 and E450 for 

the nght buyer. 

That brings the cost of the CyberStorrn 

down to between E550 and E700, a much 

better proposition, especially when you 

consider that you will get better memory 

access and an optional SCSI-2 controller. 

Of course, it you can't afford that extra 

dash then the Doubler does represent a 

good way of increasing the speed of your 

machine for relatively little outlay.

preview in Amiga Computing's 

July issue, Tune Builder basically 

offers a totally unique approach to 

musical production on the Amiga. In the 

past, producing music to accompany 

either video or a multimedia production 

was both expensive and time consuming, 

and more often than not both, 

Fortunately with its arrival, custom-built. 

pro-quality CD sound, is within the reach 

of quite literally anyone. And there's no 

need for any musical equipment, talent or 

studio facilities. 

As any vodeographer will tell you, quality 

pre-recorded Music is expensive, and 

even when you've got the basic working 

material you're still looking at a big investment 

in time, money and effort to edit and 

incorporate the music into your production. 

Even then you're by no means guaranteed 

that the end results will fit perfectly 

into the overall production - crescendos in 

the wrong place. quiet sections where you 

want a bit of excitement, the list goes on. 

Fortunately, Tune Builder puts all these 

• problems to the sword by providing a fully 

interactive customising process that 

allows the user to create music of precise 

length, tailored throughout in the style of 

your choice. Whether you need a change 

of mood or a dramatic crescendo, the 

exact slice of music you need can be slotted 

exactly in the right spot and repeated 

as often as necessary. 

The question is. how can a combination

or those who missed our initial 

The ba55 line 

Aside from the ease of use, time 

saving and all the other point 

bonuses for Tune Builder, the overriding 

must for any library is the 

overall quality of the music. All too 

often, libraries consist of innumerable 

synthesiser specials with the 

Inevitable 'chicken in a basket' overtones 

that make for more of a novelty 

item than a serious production 

tool. 

In Tune Builders' case there is a 

slight cheesy feel on the odd track, 

but in general the collection is truly 

excellent with vocals and guitars 

blended with believable brass and 

Impressive percussion. Better still, 

all the major sampling formats, 

options and rates are supported 

across Amiga, PC and Mac and others. 

There's even a direct support of 

the Toccata card. 

In short. Tune Builder is nothing 

short of essential for anyone 

Involved in serious video or general 

multimedia. It will literally save hundreds 

of hours of hard graft while 

improving your overall production 

quality. If you can afford it, and can 

envisage a return on your investment, 

you can't really afford to be 

without it. 


OCTOBER 1995 

Qualitg 

of a musical illiterate, some software, and 

TB's accompanying CD's create pro-quality 

music that normally would keep a prcifessional 

musician busy for hours if not 

days. The simple answer is that although 

you have control over the construction, the 

tunes Themselves and all the hard graft 

that went into them has been done on 

your behalf by a team of professional 

musicians. 

Obviously, the process of transforming 

a musically inept computer jock into an 

instant impresario all hinges on the skill of 

those lovely people who put TB's 

Arpeggio CD collection together. During 

what must have been a nightmare production 

process, the musos behind the music 

built multiple edit points directly into each 

tune, which were then picked up by the 

accompanying software A s a 

Drag a nd drop simplicity a midst incre dible 

sound a nd production qua lity 

flhiH and match 

On initial boot-up, the first port of call is 

the Library section where you audition 

and select from the 344 assorted tunes 

spread over the 12 accompanying CDs. 

Needless to say, some form of fiftering, 

not to mention auditioning, is essential, 

but fortunately both areas are 

something TB is particularly adept at. 

Initially, the library presents you with 

the complete list and you're free to scan 

the collection and read the notes 

appended to each track - regardless of 

whether the CD is actually in the drive. 

If you find something you like the sound 

of, either during a browse or a dedicated 

search, it can be tagged and will 

then always appear in the search window 

regardless of subsequent search 

parameters. 

If time is of the essence, or perhaps 

you already have a firm idea of what 

you're after, the obvious step is to 

consequence, the software can lake a 

slice out of this digital loaf and cut, copy 

and paste it back in anywhere you need it. 

As any muso will tell you, simply taking a 

random slice out of a song and slapping d 

down elsewhere is a recipe for disaster. 

Unless you're either very gifted or 

extremely lucky the timing, the key. and 

overall continuity will be shot to bits. 

LARGE AND SMALL 

During testing I dissected and totally 

reorganised entire tunes, shrank them to a 

tenth of their original size and expanded 

others from 30 second originals into minutes. 

Every lime the end results were perfect, 

no clicks, no pops, no agonising key 

changes or obvious continuity faults well

As you may already be aware, one

forego browsing and go straight into a 

search. As you've probably gathered 

courtesy of the screen shots, filtering the 

344 tunes is particularly well implemented. 

The first step is to select a style or 

even multiple styles. If this doesn't trim 

down the selection sufficiently you can 

narrow the selection further by searching 

by word, defining preferred tempos 

and/or a range of beats per minute. 

Even track length, using greater, less or 

exact parameters is an option. 

DELIVERIES 

During a complex search a click on 

the button will usually deliver three or 

four tunes, The next step is to audition 

your selection and to do it you'll need to 

fire up your CD-ROM drive. As you 

select each track the software provides 

a brief overview in the form of an 

editable note, the ID of the track, and 

the CD on which it's stored,

double-click on the selected track the 

CD drive will automatically locate it and 

Start playback direct from the CD. 

Obviously there's a chance that not all 

your selections will be on the same CD. 

Fortunately, if you double-click on a 

track that isn't on the current CD you'll 

be prompted to insert the correct volume. 

And as an added safeguard, each

highlighted with a star in the selection

tracks you're particularly keen on, you 

simply tag them and click on the project 

button. At this point you'll be asked what 

you want to import — either the currently 

highlighted file or your complete selection, 

That done, the software sets about 

importing the 16-bit data and generating 

its 8-bit doppleganger. Assuming you've 

imported all the tunes you require, simply 

select one and click on the all 

important Tune Builder button,

MUSIC 

Legato ley 

Once inside the editor you're presented 

with a waveform of the entire tune segmented 

into numerous individual edits, 

and it's these seamless cuts that are 

the key to the whole process. 

Although the principle is inspired, the 

actual production process is embarrassingly 

simple. To audition the tune simply 

click on the Play Original button, and if 

you're perfectly happy with things as 

they are you can export the tune in the 

rate and Pile format of your choice. 

The next option is to interact a little 

more by specifying a user-defined 

length for the tune you require — either 

larger or smaller than the original. If you 

add the length you need and click on 

generate, TB automatically interpolates 

the existing track to produce a custombuilt 

tune that will fit your time parameter 

— usually to within one second. 

If you don't like this initial mix you can 

click again and TB will produce a new 

variant. You can repeat the process as 

often as you like and then toggle 

between the variations with the adjacent 

arrow keys. If this still doesn't 

quench you thirst for interaction, there's 

Still lots of scope. The next option is to 

use a combination of shift and mouse 

clicks to select individual sections — 

more than once if necessary. The 

selection is then played in sequence to 

generate a completely custom-built 

tune. If you like it, again a simple clicking 

on the Export will generate a new 

master_ 

INTERACTIVITY 

The final and. without doubt, the most 

flexible method is to opt for a full-blown 

edit session by getting interactive with 

the Assembler Bar directly below the 

waveform. To use it you simply dick on 

a section you like, drag it across 

and drop it on the bar. To create an 

entire tune you just keeping clicking, 

dragging and dropping until you have 

exactly the arrangement and length you 

need, 

To audition your creation you can 

click on the Play New button or shift 

and drag over the section you want to 

hear. As you select a new block from 

the waveform, its counterparts in the 

Assembler window light up. So it's easy 

to construct repeats or verse/chorus 

sections. 

You're also free to drop blocks inbetween 

existing selections and delete 

others. In short, complete drag and 

drop control. II you need to fade the volume, 

a click on the join between any 

two blocks evokes the Dynamic 

Adjustment Requester which allows you 

to add space for voice-overs or fade out 

tunes that perhaps slightly overrun the 

require run-time.

D-ROMS seem to be quite in 

vogue at the moment. You 

would have a tough time trying 

to buy a PC or Macintosh which is not fitted 

with one, but if s not fike Amiga owners 

have been left behind, with Squirrel SCSI 

CD-ROMS flying off the shelves quicker 

than the hottest hot cakes. 

The options available for Al200 owners 

are quite straightforward - get yourself a 

Squirrel setup. Big box Amiga owners 

have a much wider choice - slap In a 

SCSI interface and take your pick of all 

the SCSI CD-ROMS that are out there. 

Both the Plextor and NEC drives are 

internal drives so require a Mlle more work 

lo fil than an external one. You connect 

both to the SCSI board via a 50-way ribbon 

cable, making sure the red wire goes 

10 pin 1. The CD audio can be piped 

through a four-way connector at the back 

and connected internally to your Amiga, 

allowing any CD sound to be mixed with 

the normal Amiga audio - even though a 

little surgery had to be performed to make 

tie provided lead fit at the Amiga end. All 

that is left to do is power up the CD with 

an IDE power connector 

Both the Plextor and NEC drives use 

caddies. I think they are a pain but they do 

alicrwi you to use the drives on their side - 

it they are external drives - and protect 

the discs. They also have the usual array 

of controls that appear on CD-ROMS - 

headphone socket, volume controls, and 

art elect button. All pretty thrilling stuff. 

The Plextor drive is a quad-speed unit 

and, when sysinfo is in a good mood, 

returns a transfer rate of more than 600k a 

second. It appears to be a SCSI 1 device, 

but this is no real disadvantage because 

even the fastest CD-ROM is not exactly 

pushing SCSI 110 its limits. 

INSTRUCTIVE 

7he manual that comes with the Plextor 

n jam packed with installation instructions, 

but unfortunately these are for the PC and 

Mac. Having said that, a lot of this is relevant 

sluff, but probably the only thing you 

will need to know is how to change the 

SCSI ID number. 

Another feature the Plextor drive has is 

that it ts possible to put it into audio CD- 

ROM mode. When you first turn on the 

computer, if you hold the eject button 

Coven for three seconds the drive can then 

Fiay audio CDs. Any music CD you put in 

will be played, and you can skip tracks 

tapping the elect button. Unfortunately, 

only way you can get the CD-ROM 

ck is by turning your computer off again. 

As for the NEC, it does seems to be of 

a slightly better construction, and is a sextuple 

speed. SCSI 2 device. Again, when 

sysinlo is in a good mood you can get a 

tansfer rate of over 900k a second. The 

only other major feature the NEC has over 

the Plextor is a digital out connector, 

which would allow you to get perfect samples 

oft any CD. If you have the facilities to 

me this I am sure it will be very welcome. 

Having said that, the CD door on the 

NEC can be locked open. This might 

1 

sound a really trivial 

point, but when you are 

flinging CDs in and Out of 

it all day, it is actually really 

useful not to have to bother

messing about trying to 

prop open the CD door 

when inserting the caddy. 

In practice, there seemed to be very little 

difference between the two drives, even 

though the NEC is a sextuple-speed 

mechanism. The Plextor does have a 1Mb 

buffer and a random access time of 

220ms, which could be the reason for the 

Plextor beating the NEC drive at the 

Aminet Search. It is also difficult to spot 

the speed increase of the NEC when 

doing directory lislings and animation 

replays. 

At the end of the day, whether you 

choose the NEC or Plextor will come down 

to how much you are willing to spend. 

There is a very noticeable difference 

between using a quad-speed over a dualspeed 

CD-ROM, but whether the extra 70 

pounds for the NEC compared to the 

Plextor is worth it is something you will 

have to decode. z z e

II HARDWARE 

MA Multimedia Haim Speaker Sotem 

Given Aiwa's reputation for top-quality 

equipment such as their latest CD-ROM 

drive which received a Blue Chip Award 

last month, high hopes were held for 

their mid-priced speakers. 

The Aiwa speakers, although quite 

compact, are stylish in design and 

because they are slim. fit nicely by the 

side of your monitor without taking up 

too much space. Three control buttons 

are situated at the lop and as well as the 

usual power button, there is a Surround 

control which, in theory, gives you more 

of a stereo effect due to the Front 

Surround Circuitry. However, when 

tested it didn't actually alter the sound a 

great deal. 

From such small speakers you do get 

quite a powerful sound. although bass 

sounds don't come across all that well, 

and unfortunately, although it claims 

'Dynamic Super Linear Bass', it still 

sounds fairly tinny. 

At this price the Aiwa still feels like a 

durable, sturdy system, and if you're not 

too fussy about deep bass sounds then 

the Aiwa provides value for money.

Yamaha yst-ms Powered Monitor Speaker5 

The cheaper of the Yamaha set, the YST offers 

only a three Watt per channel output, but as 

we've seen before this is usually irrespective of 

the sound quality you get. However, in this case 

the sound is very feeble and reflects the low 

wattage. 

Design is rather questionable too. Apart from 

looking like an upmarket air freshener, the 

speakers don't feel as if they'd survive any 

knocks or bumps, The controls are front- 

mounted which makes them easy to reach, but 

because of the lightness of build you have to 

have both hands free to support the speaker 

while you make your adjustments. Their size 

also makes them fiddly and even those with the 

most nimblest of fingers are going to have 

problems. 

Feature wise it comes complete with an extra 

output socket to allow it to be connected to 

Something like a very impressrve sub-woofer. A 

presence dial allows you to change the amount 

of treble you get but unfortunately this wasn't all 

that responsive. For this sort of price, you're 

better off going for the Power Speakers or the 

Aiwa which both feel like they should last a lot 

longer and provide better value for money.

Egdec ay-FI Pro 2 

Zydec may not have the brand image that Sony and 

Yamaha products carry, but this arguably accounts for 

their lower pricing. The question is, can they match the 

bog boys in terms of sound quality? 

The first noticeable point is their strange. and some 

would say tacky, styling, with the pink and wobbly 

power button standing out like a sore thumb. However, 

their upward tilt makes some sense considering theyll 

be set on a desktop well below ear level. Unpretentious but comprehensive controls Include 

volume, bass and treble, though they are rather stiff to use Combine this fact with the units 

lightweight and not very solid look and feel and the Zydec begins to look less durable than 

virile el its more expensive rivals 

Sound qua* is not at all bed, and high volumes 

re attainable without too much distortion. The 

bass has impressive depth and mid-range clarity is 

reasonable considering the price. The trade-otf 

between bass and size is less impressive, however, 

'flan with the more compact Yamaha speakers. 

It you're not bothered about looks and ergonomics 

and let's face it. it's not as important for computer 

applications as with a hi-fi then the Zyli 

oilers a perfectly decent sound solution for 

standard Amiga purposes

HARDWARE II 

An all-in-one set designed to fit snugly underneath 

your monitor, this unit from Sony is at the higher end 

of the computer speaker market. Magnetically shielded 

to prevent distortion of your monitor picture and 

boasting an unusual array of extras, on paper it 

already looks like one of the tidiest audio solutions. 

The Sony's large base is designed to support monitors 

up to 25 kg. and though it looks big when 

removed from the box, it actually takes up less desk 

space than having a couple of small speakers wired 

up next to the computer. The only passible problem 

might be that when used with big box Amigas. the 

Sony will put your monitor at a neck-straining height. 

In terms of sound quality, the Sony was a strong 

performer. Of course it suffered from the same limitations 

you'd expect from cheap midi hi-fis, such as a 

lack of depth in the sound. but to expect much more 

for under £100 would be unfair. At least the bass was 

substantial enough to avoid too much linnyness, 

providing the bass booster was turned to full. 

A downside of having everything located neatly 

beneath the monitor is that the speakers are too close 

to properly benefit from stereo. In fairness, though. 

few computer users will be overly bothered on this 

count. 

The Sony scores points for efficiency, for although 

it has a low wattage, high volumes can be achieved 

with distortion only occurring at the very highest output 

- which is a lot more than can be said for many of 

its rivals_ 

Connection to the computer is made using the 

standard left-right channel audio jacks, but more 

unusual are the secondary set of ports hidden behind 

a flap mounted on the unit's front. These allow for the 

connection of video, a microphone and a Discman or 

Walkman. Not only is it good to have these available, 

but the fact that users won't have to fiddle around 

behind the unit too much is also a welcome feature. 

Finally, it has to be said that paired with the right 

monitor, the Sony's smart fascia can only make your 

kit look more impressive. Strong on sound and features, 

this sound system is a high calibre contender. 

and only its price will make serious users have 

second thoughts about buying.

The Yamaha MlOs are a pair of 10 

watt speakers from another reputable 

brand name which boasts 

unusual and elegant styling to match 

some impressively named special 

features including pure spruce wood 

cones and the exclusive Active 

Servo Technology. 

The latter facility is another way of 

giving the bass surprising depth considering 

how compact this pair of 

speakers actually is. Having said 

that, however, similarly priced

Yamaha ysT-ollo + Subwoorer 

systems in the round-up fared equally 

well. Front mounted controls veer 

from convention slightly with a knob 

to control 'presence* rather than treble 

or bass. Roughly speaking, howevei, 

this seems to perform a similar 

function to the standard treble con- 

trol, whereas bass didn't appear to 

be very adjustable at all. 

Clarity of sound was highly competitive 

in its class, and the inclusion 

of a port to allow the connection of a 

subwooter will make them very 

appealing as components of a highly 

serious multimedia sound system. 

The inclusion of jacks and adapters 

make an encouraging bonus since 

they allow minimal fuss connection 

to be made with anything from your 

Amiga to your hi-fi. This is instantly 

preferable to having to go through a 

monitor headphone jack as is the 

Boasting a hefty 80 watts and priced at only E49.95, these 

speakers from Hi0 seemed too good to be true, but putting 

them to the test we found that our cynicism wasn't in the least bit 

justified. 

Mounted on their own stand, they are a lot bigger than the others 

we looked at and the space conscious may find their bulk offputting. 

Similar in size to the Primax giants, if style is an 

important factor then the Hi0 ones win hands down. 

While the Primax speakers had sturdy top-mounted switches, 

these have some rather flimsy switches situated on the front. 

Although they allowed for some accurate alterations to be made 

to the volume, bass and treble, they did feel that any heavy 

handling might just snap them off. 

Overall though, for the user who requires a good quality sound 

at a very affordable price, these come well recommended. 

Competing at the lower end of the market, the 60 watt 

Primax speakers still supposedly have loads more 

wattage than far more expensive speakers. By now, however, 

you're probably beginning to realise that this doesn't 

seem to count for much in terms of sound quality. 

This pair Is very small and simply styled, with magnetic 

shielding to prevent picture distortion if they're used in 

close proximity to the monitor. Simple controls include volume 

and bass, while connection is only possible to the 

Amiga via a monitors headphone socket - unless you buy 

an adaptor, that is. Sound quality is perfectly adequate 


case with some of the alternatives. 

The only complaint might be that 

these speakers ought to be a bit 

cheaper, and as standalone's their 

sound is not quite on a par with the 

Sony's, Still, some buyers won't 

mind paying extra for Yamaha build 

quality, and when connected to the 

Yamaha subwooler this system is so 

far unbeatable.

The Soundstorm range are a new coil 

lion of computer speakers designed 

establish their makers, Primax, as a t 

developer of multimedia peripheral 

Boasting 240 watt power, this top of t 

range pair promised much in compariser 

to the 5-10 watt average in its rivals. 

Unsurprisingly, they are rather large 

and will prove an encumbrance on desk 

already straining underneath the weight 

printers, hard drives and CD-ROMs. It 

terms of appearance. they bear the clos 

est resemblance to standard hi-fl speak 

ers thanks to their box-like, basic design, 

The standard audio-system similarittee 

are also borne out by the inclusion of 4 

woofers and 2" tweeters for more cons/trial 

lig bass and treble sounds. Like all good 

computer speakers, however, they include 

a built-in power amplifier. 

The controls are comprised of the stae 

dard treble, bass and volume but they're 

top mounted which makes adjustmente 

slightly more convenient than when knobt 

are located at the base of the speakers. 

High volumes certainly are attainable 

with these speakers - though the increase 

over 10 watt rivals is far less dramatic 

than you might expect. The real problem, 

however, is that the volume doesn't have 

to be pushed up that high before the 

sound becomes badly distorted, which 

obviously makes that excess power 

practicably unusable. 

Even if volumes are kept within a low b: 

medium range, the speakers were slit 

none too impressive considenng the once 

Amiga owners would be well advised 

either buy something cheaper or go f 

the Yamaha top-range speakers if thee 

want real power paired with accuracy.

Our lirst letter this month comes 

from an obvious madman who... 

well, let him tell it in hts own 

words: 

I 

t 

was prompted to write to you by 

the little snippet you placed on 

page 46 of Issue 88, namely 

"GET WRITING." One single letter 

won't exactly give you your 

requested sackful, but d you pnnt 

this in its entirety, then, what with your 

w 

answers, you'll have at least a couple of 

extra pages to fill! 

Firstly, I must thank you for your excellent 

magazine which I have followed carefully 

and with pleasure ever Since issue one. I 

am rso very glad (as I'm sure are a good 

many others) to see from your well-balanced 

coverage that Escom are about to re- 

next got my itchy fingers on a 1 k 

Acorn 

i 

Atom, which was held together. as I 

remember, by much black adhesive... 

...Then at last, I got my eager hands on a 

WB1.2 Amiga 500 complete with 'Hi-res' 

1084 monitor, bought on the strength of... 

...Enough of the lovey dovey sentimentality 

tthough. and on to my first ever cry for 

help from your good selves... 

I've loved the idea of computers for as 

long as I can remember (I dreamed nightly 

of ENIAC and COLOSSUS for months)... 

have the ubiquitous 1Mb 3.5" floppy 

drive 

i 

(df0: Anticlick provided courtesy of 

Magic Workbench. A replacement for DPI: 

should be on its way by the time you read 

this). one 40Mb Quantum P4OS SCSI hard 

drive._ have 1Mb ChipRAM as standard 

with 2Mb FastRAM added, plus 4Mb of 32bit 

nwide SuperFastRAM on an SSL A5000 

68020 accelerator board I also have an 

MFM hard drive, formatted to 29Mb, on the 

far side of an A2288 bricigeboard... 

...I also upgraded to WB2.1 about a year 

ago. In retrospect. I have found this to have 

gbeen quite a wise move, although I sometimes 

wish I had waited for v3.1 to arrive... 

...the MFM drive now acts as my DH2:, 

named 'Archive', formatted as a single (WS 

partition with the standard WB formal command 

(Yes, I did see the warnings about 

IDE drive low level formatting before undertaking 

the task!). For a couple of years all 

was fine... 

...The drive was to all intents and purposes 

dead. Finally, I checked it through with 

QBTools, again without much success... 

salvaged what was possible and again 

re-formatted. All subsequent system checks 

showed up as OK - no read/write errors 

being reported. This same failure has now 

occurred three times in the last three 

months and happy is no longer my middle 

name! Each time the system fails il reports 

a - 

kindle the glowing embers of our old - 

friend' C., I am sure they will help... 

R ...use the bay that would free up for an 

ea 

d/ 

w 

50 I did 

internal CD-ROM drive. They are 

obtainable quite cheaply these 

days, are they not?... 

...On the subject of DIP. I run 

ProPage 4.0 but CacheEdit gives 

me an 'Out of memory' error 

when launched from the 

Workbench... 

...perhaps I should have stuck 

with PageStream, 'cos from what 

I've seen of WordWorth it's 

rn.u.c.h. o M i n d you 

PPage doesn't exactly zip along does it? 

Thank heaven for the Article Editor.. 

...0h how I wish I had my old Star LC10 

colour printer back. Considering its age. it 

seemed to be able to 'turn its hand' to anything 

and everything I threw at it - and I 

sometimes did! 

Finally, if you've read this far, thanks 

tor bearing with me and I look forward to a, 

doubtless abridged (you're not kidding - 

en). version of this letter appearing... 

Long live the Amiga and Amiga 

Technologies GmbH! May their bytes never 

fall to bits. 

Simon Smalley, Lincoln 

Mr Smalley. who is apparently 50 going 

on 15, sent us a total of 2720 words, 

accompanied by several sheets of print 

out detailing his assigns, Workbench. 

Kickstart and DOpus version numbers, 

and Sysinfo printouts of the performance 

of his machine in several areas. 

In answer to your queries, Mr Smalley. I 

only have room for very curt answers 

now, so pay attention: 

1. It's probably because your MFM drive 

Is so old that you are having so many 

problems. Your best bet would be to 

ditch it as soon as possible and get a 

sensible size SCSI hard drive for your 

machine. I believe you should be able to 

use a partition for the bridgeboard, 

although it might be a little tough to set 

up. You should be able to pick up a 

500Mb drive for around E150 these days 

and you can never have enough hard 

drive space. 

2. The MegaChip is good but, yes, I think 

you would have problems fitting it along 

with the A5000_ 

3. It's been a while since I last used 

ProPage, but I thought that CacheEdit 

was part of ProPage 3 and made 

redundant in version 4. As you say, try 

switching back to PageStream. Frank 

Nord tells me the latest version is pretty 

impressive. 

4. Not much you can do about a print 

head for a dot matrix other than replace 

it unfortunately. 

Lastly, thanks for your letter, it brightened 

up the office on a dull day and I 

hope you will be able to put the E50 prize 

money to good use in upgrading your 

machine.

I am the proud owner of an A500+

PC card as well. 

After rearranging my hard drive file 

managed to lose the software that t

I the PC card and it's driving me 

mad trying to find the correct software.

The PC card is a product

help Mr Sorfleet out as KCS seem 

to have disappeared into the aether. 

Helping hand 

I am a newcomer to the Amiga having 

recently purchased a second-hand 

Amiga 500 Plus in 'as new' condition 

and in its original packaging. 

The machine came with a RocGen 

gentock with a test disk. However, when 

this tesVdemonstration disk is inserted 

after Workbench 2.04 all goes well with 

the colour bars test, but every time I try 

the SCRIPT icon' get the message 

'Software failure.' 

I arn unable to refer back to the original 

owner who has moved house, so 

Mild you please inform me who the 

agents are for the RocGen genlock 

andi'or where I could obtain another 

tuncornipted) demo disk. 

Also with this kit, there is a strip of 

Amiga fax cards, all with the suffix 3. On 

the Music 3 card it states that other fax 

cards were issued with the June and 

July issues of Amiga Computing and 

i5C0M adult 

While it is good news that the Amiga has finally 

tome out of limbo (having finally been bought out 

by German company Escom) I have some fears 

which I would like to voice: 

1. Once Escom begin producing the Al200 

again. I hope they will take their time to do so 

instead of just rushing it out. After all, look at 

what happened when Sir Clive Sinclair attempted 

to meet demand with his Spectrum in the 1980s 

— they were not even tested before hitting the 

; Shelves and consequently, many machines 

included serious faults. 

2. Will many of the software developers who 

decided to quit the Amiga when they believed it 

.10 be a lost cause actually come back to it again? 

Some of them seem to have made up their minds 

already and just don't give a damn about the 

Al200's future any more. 

3. How can we be sure that Escom don't make 

the same mistakes Commodore did with regard 

leters please 

You asked for more letters pages. 

but what you don't seem to realise 

is the fact that you have to write Into 

us. To give you a further incentive, 

we will offer E50 from *Om 

Phillips* wages to the beet letter 

written. But please keep quiet 

about it, as Adam doesn't 

know... 

Yep, I've just checked Silica's ad and it does still say that. I expect the best that 

can be hoped for is that you get the refund and that other people can learn from 

your example. 

I 

that back issues are available. Could 

you tell me if that is still the case and if 

so what the price would be. 

A E Lott. Reading 

Again, any readers who can help Mr 

or Ms Lott with their problem should 

write into me and I'll pass the information 

on. As to the Amiga fax 

cards, they were printed a fair while 

ago and I'm afraid our back issues 

don't go back that far. 

I have recently purchased an Amiga 

600 upgraded to 2Mb. My problem is 

with expanding the system. I was originally 

planning to fit a hard drive and an 

external floppy, modem and printer. 

However, every time I go to the local 

computer shops they keep stating that I 

would be wasting my money and that I 

should buy a PC. What I would like to 

to the launching of new machines and keeping its 

customers informed? I hope they do not intend to 

blitz the market with a fleet of 'super machines', 

as a more sensible option would be to just create 

one and let it be the basis of all future developments. 

The original A500 is a prime example of 

this and even today it is still a grand machine — I 

know, a friend of mine still has one! 

4, Do Escom intend to fully support the Amiga 

with a vigorous advertising campaign and perhaps 

show it as a 'serious' computer and not just 

something for the kids to play on? 

David 0' Conner, 

Dinnington, South Yorkshire 

We will undoubtedly continue to get a lot of 

mail about the Escom situation, so let's go 

over David's points one by one. 

1. Escom are a very large company with massive 

manufacturing resources unlike Sinclair

I have spent a lot of time, effort and money trying to get a good Midi kit 

together, only to find that the device meant to run it all is incapable of the 

task by design. I don't know if any of your readers has had similar problems 

with the CD32/SX-1 but I would like to make them aware that the 

CD321SX-1 module is not compatible with MIDI interfaces and does not 

come with any Workbench disks. 

The advertisement placed by Silica states quite categoncally that the SX-1 

turns the CD32 into 'a fully functioning Amiga 1200 compatible computer.' 

This is not the case. I have asked for a refund from Silica and I will get back 

to you if I encounter any problems. 

Mg wife won't 

It me 


OCTOBER 1995 

Roy Sharp, Liverpool 

know is whether this is true and if not, 

what size hard drive would you recommend 

as a minimum. Also, is the 

Internet accessible to my computer and 

Workbench 2. 

If you recommend buying an Al200, 

that would unfortunately be out of 

the question as my wife is already nagging 

me about wasting money on the 

A600. 

Andrew Brooks, Rochdale 

It might have been better for you to 

have bought an Al200 in the first 

place, Andrew. but no you don't 

need to ditch the 600 and buy a PC. 

The minimum size for a hard drive is 

whatever you can afford, but try to 

get as large a drive as possible — it'll 

soon fill up. 

Once you've got a hard drive and a 

modem (preferably 14,4k or 28.8k) 

you will have the minimum setup 

necessary for Internet access. 

although to be able to use Mosaic to 

browse the World Wide Web properly 

you will need Workbench 3.x. 

46:1Y 

Research in the days of the Spectrum. so I 

think it's unlikely that you'll ever see Amigas 

with as many problems as those early 

Spectrums. However, I do agree that Escom 

shouldn't just rush things through. They 

need to pay attention to bundling deals, 

packaging and advertising to ensure the 

Al200 and A4000T regain their place in the 

computing hierarchy. 

2. Certainly you will see the re-emergence of 

Amiga developers, distributors and retailers. 

As mentioned in this week's CM, retailers 

are crying out for all things Amiga, but they 

can't get new games or serious software to 

meet the demand. 

3. I think that Escom actually do need to 

diversify the Amiga range in order to capture 

the niches left for it. The A500 was a great 

machine as you say, but it's time to move on. 

4. We'll just have to wait and see.

OCTOBER 1995 

(0 Dilemma5 

In the near future I am going to upgrade into the world of CD by adding a CD 

l) -a drive to my computer. I have taken a fancy to Power Computing's dual 

drive, but have just noticed the price drop in the CD32. 

I am now wondering which to buy, as I know the CD32 can be attached to the 

Al200. Will the CD32 act in the same way as a CD drive? I do not want to use the 

two separately for CDs and floppies, but want to use the two as one. 

I have seen some CDs that are only CO32 compatible, and also know about the 

FMV option, which inclines me to buy the CD32. I will be using the CD drive for CD32 

games, audio CDs, public domain, and the odd encyclopaedia. Which would give me 

the greatest access to the huge world of CD? 

Just one more quick question - how do I gel OctaMED sound files to play from m 

startup-sequence? 

Andrew. Northernotonshit 

As with most things in life, which ever decision you make will involve 

r compromises. If you must have 100 per cent CD32 compatibility, then 

the only real option is to buy a CD32. You can then use something like 

the Communicator!i to allow you to access the CD32 via parnet. 

Basically, you get an icon on the Workbench and can access the CD32 like a 

normal device, such as a floppy or hard drive. The maior down side to this is 

you will only be getting around 20 to 40K a second transfer, which is not much 

better than floppy access. 

Your other option is to go for the Power Computing offering. That consists of 

either a dual or quad-speed CD, and the excellent Squirrel SCSI-II interface. The 

CO32 emulation might not be perfect, but most recent CO32 games. and hopefully 

all future releases. will be written with these CD32 emulators In mind. 

Therefore, future compatibility should be much better. 

The other thing you should keep in mind is that with the last option you are 

getting a SCSI CD-ROM and a PCMCIA SCSI-II adapter. This means that there is 

a good possibility that they could be used on a future Amiga, or any other computer, 

with the right software, and the fact you have a SCSI interlace means it is 

possible to lit up to another six devices onto the SCSI chain. 

The biggest benefit, however, is that you can access the CD at its maximum 

transfer rate - 300k a second for a dual-speed drive. That is around 15 times 

faster than the Communicator II, and if you are planning to use PO discs a lot 

then this could be quite an important point. 

I would go for the Power Computing system. You get a SCSI CD-ROM that 

could be used with any other computer with a SCSI interface. The CD access 

on the Al200 side is Infinitely faster, and on top of all that you have got a 

SCSI-II Interface. 

When you say sound files, do you mean samples or complete modules? To 

play a module, edit your user-startup file, found in the S: drawer, and add 'Run

A500 PHRI151011 

i have an A500 and would like 

to know what is involved in 

upgrading to OS 2.04 or 3.1. I 

know you can buy ROM kits and that 

they come with fitting instructions, but 

are they easy to understand by a complete 

novice like me? Do they need 

speoal tools, and do they come with the 

Workbench disks as well? Is it also possible 

to use the 3.1 ROMs in conjunchon 

with a ROM switcher? 

At some point in the future I would 

also like to lit a hard drive, but there 

seem to be so many different sorts 

!Owl really know which one would be 

best. 

Rose &lasted, Oxon 

r With regards to upgrading 

your A500's Kickstart 

chip. I would suggest you 

went for the OS 3.1 kit. How difficult 

this is depends on what revision 

your A500 is. Basically, if your 

Uiorkbenth blue5 

I have an Amiga 500 and a ROM switc- 

\ „, her fitted with Kickstart 1.3 and 2.05. I 

have just Increased my hard drive from 

40 to 350Mb and have a Megachip 

installed. My problem is that on the initial start 

„o I am getting the message 'pure bit not set'. 

y'inat is this pure bit and how do I set it? 

If I switch to 2.05 and boot my system, everything 

becomes very slow and jerky. I am told this 

is because it is still booting Workbench 1.3. How 

can I get my system to detect which ROM I have 

selected, and automatically boot the correct 

Workbench? 

Finally, when using Pen Pal I find it very useful 

to use the CMD function to redirect the output 

to my hard drive, and then print later. This 

always worked fine, but since changing the hard 

drive, every time I use ill gel a blank screen and 

a redirecting data message. When I then quit 

Pen Pal I am left with just the blank screen and 

Workbench cannot be found. 

M Dennett, Somerset

Morkben oh release 

Amiga is no more than six-years old 

It should be a revision six machine. 

The only way to find out for sure is to 

open your machine up, remove the 

metal shield by carefully bending all 

the tabs up. and somewhere on the 

mother board, normally on the righthand 

side, there will the revision 

number. 

If it is an earlier version than six 

you are going to have to do a bit of 

amateur electronics, and depending 

on how adventurous you are it may 

be best to get a qualified electrician 

to do the job. If, however, you have a 

revision six machine, fitting the ROM 

is a case of carefully prising the old 

ROM out of its base - a flat head 

screwdriver pushed carefully 

between the chip and the base at 

each end should do the trick - and 

then replacing it with the new ROM. 

making sure you place it the correct 

way around. There are clear markings 

on the chip and its base. so this is 

obvious. 

It is possible to use a ROM switcher, 

but why do want to? I am sure 

once you use 3.1 you will wonder 

how you ever managed using 1.3. 

When OS 2 first appeared there was a 

legitimate use for ROM switches, but 

nowadays every program will run 

under OS 3. 

As for fitting a hard drive In the 

future, five years ago you could not 

move for Amiga 500 hard drive 

adverts, but now A500 stuff is getting 

pretty thin on the ground. The easiest 

way to add a hard drive to an A500 is 

to choose any of the ones that fits 

Into the side expansion slot. You 

should also consider getting some 

extra memory, as each hard drive 

partition uses up some memory and

Normally, the pure bit error is associated 

with the pure protection bit of a

this is to simply type from a shell, 'protect

all the programs in the c: directory. However, 

running the 1.3 tiles under Kickstart 2.05 

should not make any difference to the speed

available for the Al200

is only half the story, as you 

have to find out what type of network 

the university uses so you 

can purchase the correct network

the card is expensive at £249. If 

you give White Knight Technology 

a call on 01920 822321. I am sure 

they can help. 

There is another option, but this 

involves more work_ You could get 

hold of a PC PCMCIA ethernet card, 

which is much cheaper, but you 

then need the driver software and a 

copy of AmiTCP. The problem here 

is the driver software for the card.

running slower, is indicative of a keyboard 

problem. 

It could be that when fitting the Megachip 

you dislodged the keyboard connector. Does 

your caps lock light flash when you boot 

your computer? If it does then this definitely 

means you have a keyboard problem. All I 

can suggest is that you check the keyboard 

Is correctly connected and make sure none 

of your keys are trapped by the computer 

casing. As for your problem with CMD, are 

you running Pen Pal under 1.3 or 2.05, and 

which OS version of CMD are you running? 

Earlier versions of Pen Pal do not run under 

version 2, but it is possible to upgrade to 

either the last version of Pen Pal, or the 

much more recent Final Writer. 

I do wonder why you are still using 1_3. If 

its just to run Pen Pal then you really should 

upgrade and dump all the 1,3 stuff on your 

hard drive. If you have to run 1_3 then there 

are a number of small CLI utilities that can 

detect which ROM you have running, and 

then execute the correct startup-sequence.

Premier league 

Programmed by: David King 

Available from: Fl Licenceware 

Disk No. F1-092 (E3.89) 

This is a football game with a difference: 

it's actually a card game. After 

you've selected a Premiership football 

team to guide through a 42-game season, 

18 cards are dealt out. You and 

the computer ihen take turns at selecting 

cards which signify match events 

taking place; fouls, free kicks, penalties, 

substitutions and goals. One of 

the cards also brings the halt to an 

end.

listed, indicating they are on the net at 

that time, you can click a button to talk 

to them. Finally. GUIF is basically a 

graphical front-end to the AmiTCP Finger 

command. 

However, while Comms' fans are the 

target of the sixth program too, its appeal 

is slightly broader. Online-o-meter tells 

you the cost of a phone call. It can either 

be used by simply clicking on the call start 

and end buttons, or from comms software 

using ARexx. It calculates the exact cost 

of each call, taking into account factors 

such as differing charge zones, minimum 

charges and time and cost rounding. It is 

supplied with Brrtish charge details for BT. 

Mercury, and Nynex, so getting the whole 

thing set up takes lust a couple of minutes, 

Since this is also a useful program 

for anybody who happens to have a telephone 

near their Amiga, I'd recommend 

getting hold of this disk even if you aren't 

an Internet addict.

date in an Applcon. Very nice, but I'm not 

quite sure what the point is - I expect 

most people who regulady want to check 

the date already have a Milkier clock 

which displays it. When I ran it on the 20 

July I was informed that this is the 

authors birthday - fascinating, but why? 

A calculator program which runs as a 

commodity, ACalc is perfectly usable if a 

little simple. 

Right, that's the moaning over, 

because the two remaining programs are 

actually pretty good. AddressBook 

impresses because of its general 

simplicity, and because it is British it talks 

about Postcodes and not Zipcodes. II can 

store names, addresses and telephone 

numbers, and it can search for a record 

by name or address and then dial the 

appropriate phone number. 

Finally, the most impressive program 

on the disk is Assistant, a computerised 

diary with the added advantage of being 

able to provide daily, weekly or monthly 

pages. Again there are no fancy features. 

but the emphasis is on functionality and 

as a consequence, Assistant is very 

pleasant to use. Coupled with Address 

Book, it should render the conventional 

office rather redundant.

it will be freely distributable public

you feel it's of sufficient quality to merit

you can choose numbers from as many

UTILITY 

of the month 

Programmed by: Alien Design 

Available from. Pixel Digital PD 

(El plus 50p P&P) 

First there was MultiCX, the commodity that 

replaced your usual screen blanker and workbench 

title bar clock while adding numerous features such 

as the floppy drive dick stopper, the black workbench 

border, a mouse accelerator, activation of 

the front screen, and so on Now from Alien Design 

comes Master Control Program. which hopefully 

will prove rather less hostile to other programs than 

the MCP of Disney's Tron which presumably 

inspired the name. 

All of MultiCX's most useful features are duplicated 

here, along with plenty of newies. These 

include AssignWedge which allows you to Assign 

or Mount whenever those "Please insert ??? in any 

drive" type requesters appear, AppChange, which 

you can increase your chances by altering 

the number of balls in each draw. 

Leave things as they are, however, and 

you've got a cost-free National Lottery 

simulator which, while perhaps not 

matching the real thing for excitement, 

will certainly be a lot kinder on the wallet. 

Play this for hall an hour, take a look at 

the money spent and money won displays, 

and you'll realise, if you haven't 

already, that the Lottery is certainly not a 

good bet from a gambling point of view. A 

better alternative might be to buy this and 

give a few quid a week to charity.

Trekkies and Trekkers the world over 

seem eager to surround themselves In 

anything and everything Star Trek related. 

A selection of disks from OnLine PD 

may therefore be of interest if you have 

such an affliction. 

The Star Trek Guide (Disks OL7A-F) 

is a six-disk extravaganza which requires 

a whopping 4_5Mb of hard-drive space 

but contains details in AmigaGuide format 

of scores of episodes and all 

manner of related prattle. 

The Magic Trek Pack is a selection of 

Star Trek pictures intended for use as 

Workbench backdrops. The images 

show spacecraft designs and while they 

are hardly stunning, they beat a dull grey 

backdrop hands down. Finally, the 

Slarfleet Ships Library (Disks OL13A-C) 

is a three-disk guide to. erm. Startleet 

ships. Or at least it would be, if I could 

get it to work properly. Anyway, fans of 

all things Trekful could do a lot worse 

than beaming these up.

is not guilty of. But this is only version 1.04. arid

miga owners are used to talk. In an industry that seems 

thrive on hot air and unsubstantiated speculation, no-one 

knows better than they that certain promises should be 

taken with a pinch of salt. 

So when Manfred Schmitt stood up at the Frankfurt press 

conference to announce the Amiga's new key role at the head 

of his ever expanding multimedia empire, Ifs not surprising it 

everyone's scepticism didn't evaporate overnight. 

Escom's plan to build on the Amiga's technological superiority 

as a multimedia platform was obviously encouraging, but a number 

of questions remained. After all, in the Amiga's absence the PC had 

been marketed so successtuily it was almost synonymous with the term 

multimedia in the eyes of the general public, With even Escom themselves 

pushing PC multimedia solutions, could the Amiga ever regain 

lost ground.? 

Fortunately the promises seemed infinitely more credible thanks to 

the contribution of twe companies. Scala and Viscorp. Both could lustifiably 

claim to have invented their own brand of multimedia, and both 

teams have experience from long before PC owners had even 

encountered the winning term. If any third parties were needed to

the new e y were the ones. But are

To take Scala irst, their decision last year to 

into PC development was so shocking to so 

Amigaphiles it was seen as a death knell. The roll 

having the company that invented computer televi 

back at the helm of Escom's multimedia drive 

understandably intense. 

As reported in our August issue, the first good 

was the plan to bundle Scala's MM300 package with n 

Al200s. The fact that the software won't run on the b 

machine, however, left some commentators puzzled. "What is

something aifferent than the similarly priced 

super consoles it will be up against this 

Christmas. But Thurston is aware that more will 

be expected from the Scala-Amiga Technologies 

collaboration if the Amiga is to become a really 

profitable multimedia contender. 

Encouragingly, despite their move into the PC 

market, Scala believe the Amiga can still lead the 

way to a future of computer television. Thurston 

explains: in market areas like distributing information 

onto TVs, which is what were about. the 

Amiga will still be the best machine. Its PAL compatible 

as standard, plug and play like they say 

Windows 95 will be, and once Amiga 

Technologies start producing the machines they'll 

still be the most cost-effective solution in the 

area." 

It would be fair to wonder, however, how much 

eas commitment is backed up by new Amiga 

developments from Scala. which currently seem 

rather thin on the ground. Thurston explains that 

they've only really started pushing MM400 following 

the buy-out, as they've been building EXs 

which expand on the current product's functionality 

- most recently they've created drivers for 

the PAR card and Sunrize Studio 16. 

The key to Scala's vision of the long-term 

future, however, is a multimedia standard that will 

thrive on all platforms, including the Amiga. Far 

ahead of the faddish approach that some PC 

developers have adopted, Scala have designed a 

state-of-the-art, object-oriented operating system 

called MMOS. 

"Object-oriented programming," Thurston elaborates, 

"basically means that each function in a 

program is a separate object with hooks which 

allow it to link with other objects within the program. 

So whereas before with a Scala product

who's seen the average fare will know there's a lot 

of cliched. bland material lurking behind arty

II this sounds like the bitter whine of someone 

who's missed the boat, then you might be interested 

to hear a few statistics. According to CTW, the 

computer trade weekly, 90 per cent of the thousands 

of multimedia CDs that went on sale in the 

US last year sold less than 100 copies, Now that 

speaks volumes. 

Even makers of acclaimed CD titles are finding 

it surprisingly difficult to survive, with Medio

CD called JFK Assassination, recently having to 

announce it was laying off 40 of its 75 employees.

stuck together, now virtually every item is a separate 

object. It makes it a lot more flexible, pliable 

and easier to add to," 

In lact, MMOS is so flexible it can grow to meet 

new requirements with the minimum amount of 

difficulty. Thurston gives the example of a Customer 

that wishes to incorporate Scala into an 

editing suite: previously Scala would have written 

an EX for it. but now the customer could be given 

a development pack to create one themselves. 

The good news is that though MMOS was 

developed for the PC, it adapts to the AmigaDOS 

environment much more readily. According to 

Thurston. the developers one day decided to port 

it back to AmigaDOS and were amazed by how 

quickly they did it. "If we talk in terms of man

With so many of the CD companies being small 

start-up businesses, some commentators believe 

that many will be hard pushed to survive. 

Which all seems to suggest that a certain 

amount of the CD multimedia is not really impressing 

the public. Dressing encyclopaedias and cookery 

books up in hi-tech clothing does not necessarily 

make them into a new and exciting medium. 

It's clearly foolish and immature to be overly 

partisan on this issue. The fact remains that many 

Amiga owners would jump at the chance of getting 

products like Microsoft's Encarta. and both hardware 

and software developers should be striving 

to match the PC's talents in this field. But it is 

equally important that we build on the Amiga'S

onto Amiga," Thurston explained. "Which 

says an awful lot for AmigaDOS as an 

operating system." 

"What that means for us: he continued, 

"is that cross compatibility between 

scripts will be easier, and it's highly likely 

that our next generation of Amiga products 

would be based around MMOS," 

Which, he went on to point Out, will fit in 

very nicely with RISC Amigas that can 

emulate MS DOS. 

The question remains, however, of 

what will give the Amiga an edge over 

PCs already running the system, but 

Thurston is Confident. "It will be superior 

because it'll run AmigaDOS as well, and 

from that there will be a whole new 

range of products that are smoother, 

faster and more fulfilling." 

It appears, then, that creative tools 

are still the key to Scala's vision. Now 

they're involved in the PC market, 

however, you'd think they might move 

If Scala can take almost sole credit for 

inventing the multimedia software environment 

on the Amiga, Don Gilbreath has an 

equal claim on pushing the hardware in a 

similar direction. Now Chief Executive of 

the American-based Viscorp, the inventor 

of the CDTV and CD32 is back with high 

hopes. 

Following a deal struck shortly before the 

Frankfurt press conference, it is Viscorp 

that stand to benefit first from Escom's lib- 

eral approach to licensing by incorporating 

Amiga technology into a new set top box, 

Interactive TV in the US is at a far more 

advanced stage of development than in 

Europe. Like his numerous rivals. Gilbreath 

is hoping to bring video on demand, home 

shopping and interactive entertainment into 

the family living room all under the control 

of a TV top unit. Unlike his competitors, 

however, he thinks he can do it at an 

affordable once — thanks to the Amiga.

including a sound card, and they said

technology would cut down costs thanks to 

the way it used and encouraged writers to 

use memory economically. "What happened 

was that a lot of the entertainment 

writers didn't have the luxury of 16Mb main 

memory like you got with a PC, 

In - ha way e it sforced a i d them . to write efficiently 

and it forced applications to be efficient." 

He continued: 'That helps us because 

memory is the highest component cost in 

any set top box. You look at some of the 

set top offerings in this country: There 

were requests for bids for machines to be 

made at a certain price, but people were 

coming up with units that needed a crazy 

amount of memory — ten times what the 

Amiga would need! Which, of course, just 

killed the whole thing." 

In general, it seems the whole issue of 

price could be the decisive factor in terms 

of who wins the race to bnng multimedia to 

the masses. Outside the set top box field. 

Apple Mac's Pippin is just another example 

of an impressive spec machine that's 

been indefinitely delayed because they 

can't deliver the goods at an affordable 

level for home use. 

The lesson is clear to Gilbreath. 'To be 

successful the initial cost is the key. We 

companies an awful amount of money. 

"But in truth it isn't multimedia," 

continued. "It just means you've gol

feel that with the Amiga we can rea

In Europe, the concept of the set 

box is largely unheard of, so what codli 

purchasers of Viscorps model expect! 

According to Gilbreath, the TV-bas 

technology will incorporate a you 

phone, a fax, Internet access, plus an 

in-one access point to a variety of di 

ent network services with everything 

trolled using icon-based menus via 

remote control. 

Clicking on one icon will allow the 

to jump into a multimedia, potentia 

graphical, vivid world. Since it's Ami 

based, Gilbreath also forsees the pa 

bility of incorporating CD and authori 

synchronised CD-based games, 

Up to this point, however, the pr 

sounds like an extension on typical c 

puter-based product's technology. In f

If Amiga users are going to get products like Encarta, however, a more fundamental • 

change would have-to be made at the heart of the Amiga. PCs and Macs are able to

had built-in genlocks to

another empty buzz term, it's 

man 

eye-opener to see what Viscom have 

malready 

achieved with a non-Amiga-based 

utex named - ED. 

MAX ED-ROOM 

For example, ED already has an unusually 

convenient on-screen TV entertainment 

guide. It differs from a facility like 

teletext because users will be able to 

select programmes that interest them, and 

automatically set the VCR up to record 

tem at the same time. 

Then there's the matter of Viscorp's 

Cense to NTN, a company bearing rights 

to a number of key sporting events. NTN 

actually transmit live action to ED and 

users are given the opportunity of betting 

n a What happens next? game. 

Ifs a way to get involved with the sparing 

event you're watching. and over the 

whole country you could be playing with 20- 

30,000 people,' Gilbreath said. "We see 

that happening with a lot of different TV 

shows." 

All of which sounds impressive, but one 

would expect that the new Amiga-based set 

top box would be a long way off in development 

time. According to Gilbreath, however 

making the new product is the easy part 

"Electrically, the Amiga-based product 

exists but we've not deployed it yet," he 

said. "Before we can do that it's about lining 

up a sufficient amount of roll Out developers 

to have titles ready. The product itself is not 

a problem since it's based on a merging of 

our previous experience," 

Gilbreath has seen radical technology 

flop before, including his own CD-TV, so he 

realises having a good base product isn't 

enough. 'This is a very expensive business 

to be involved in,' he explained, 11 the battle 

was just about technology this box would 

be a very strong winner. But it comes down 

to content; if you bring out a new player you 

need enough supporting software on 

Launch." 

If anything gives the Amiga a fighting 

chance, it's not the hardware but the talent 

that can exploit it to the full a fact stated 

by both Scala and Viacom. Barry Thurston 

called the Scala programming team heroes 

of the Amiga world, Gilbreath is equally 

adamant that Amiga people are smartest in 

the set top field. 

"There's a base of software writers that 

know AmigaDOS and know television and 

entertainment,

If people moan about one area In 

which the Amiga has been superseded 

by its rivals. it's processing 

speed. New PCs and Macs are just 

so much fester, it won't be possible 

to do half the things they're capable 

of until the RISC machines come 

through — or so they say. 

Of course speed is very important. 

but for multimedia the Amiga is a lot 

more capable in this area than many 

realise. Interestingly enough, the 

Shapeshifter Mac emulator ran animations 

and video faster on an 

Amiga 030 processor than on many 

of the Macs in our office. 

The fact that Escom have dropped 

the 10E-based A4000 desktop in 

favour of the SCSI equipped A4000T 

will also prove a big help. Barry 

Thurston points to faster transfer 

rates as being vital when planning 

for the playback of motion video. 

Add to that the fact that it allows the 

connection of better quality peripherals, 

and more of them, and this will 

give the Amiga access to Some very

GRAPHICS 

t the start of this year, Panasonic 

announced a new dual-function 

quad-speed CD-ROM drive. So 

what? Well, it was a quad-speed CD-ROM 

drive and - this is where it gets good - a 

650Mb magneto optical drive all in the 

same box, but for not that much more than 

a standard quad-speed drive. The adverts 

started appearing and eventually we got 

one to look at for ourselves. So is it any 

good? 

Let's start with the way it is built. The 

drive looks like any standard CD-ROM 

drive from the outside with the exception of 

the PO logo on the front panel. When you 

open that panel you will notice another difference. 

It has a tray within a tray kind of 

affair, one for the PD cartridge and one for 

a normal CD. Because of the height difference 

between a standard CD and one of 

these cartridges, this tray within a tray 

thingy becomes necessary - the interior 

tray moving upwards when it retracts if 

there is a normal CD in it. 

The PD cartridge itself actually shares 

many of the same dimensions as a CDs 

R O M caddy - which you should have 

some familiarity with if you own an older 

CD-ROM drive. However. the PD cartridge 

will not work in caddy-based CD-ROM dnves 

which is a great shame as it would 

certainly put this drive into my all-time top 

ten list of products. 

SITTING PRETTY 

The drive is nice and easy to install with 

jumper-based termination (rather than 

resistor packs which can be awkward to 

remove and replace) and sits quite happily 

in the top bay of my machine. Software 

installation is certainly a lot less complicated 

than the many disks of installation software 

for the PC and Mac included in the 

box would suggest. 

If you are using an Amiga with a SCSI 

interface built-in like an A3000, nothing 

needs changing. However, the drive isn't 

particularly happy with all controllers - it 

does work on a GVP controller and also 

on our A2091, but it didn't like the A4091 

SCSI II controller we use in our A4000 at 

work. U you do get it working then all you 

need do is load up HDToolbox, or its 

equivalent on your machine, and partition 

the cartridge the same way you would with 

any new hard drive. As for the CD-ROM 

famoatibilitg 

(ro55roads 

It is a shame. as I already said, that the cartridge system isn't a little more 

compatible. If it worked in the same way as standard MO drives there would at 

least be some cross-'platform• compatibility. As it is, the only drive you can 

read a PD cartridge in is Panasonic's own drive. It also has to be hoped that 

the PD drive is going to be more compatible in the future with hard drive controllers. 

Some of the SCSI controllers the PD drive does work with include the 

GVP hard card, HiSolt's Squirrel controller the embedded SCSI controller in 

A3000s and thus Commodore's own A2091, and the new Datanyer SCSI 

controller for the Al200. 

A 

side of things, using AmiCDROM 

is extremely simple and you can 

set up the PD drive as a CD-ROM 

unit with the same ease that you set up 

the cartridge side of things. 

How well does the drive perform? 

According to Sysinfo the cartridge runs 

along at a nice steady meg a second, 

although copying files to and from the 

drive in °Opus puts the lie to those figures. 

In a test I did copying roughly 10Mbs 

worth of 24-bit pictures, it look six minutes 

and 40 seconds to write all 10Mbs to the 

PD drive, and just one minute and 50 seconds 

to copy them from the PD drive back 

onto my hard drive (which. incidentally, is 

rated as giving me a little over three 

megabytes a second). 

This obviously means that in real world 

terms the drive only writes at about a meg 

every 40 seconds. not quite as fast as 

Sysinto suggests. On the plus side it does 

mean that the drive reads at about a meg 

every eleven seconds - still not a great 

speed but at least better than its write 

speed. I should point out, though, that the 

speed for reads and writes does vary quite 

a lot and is not always as slow as the figures 

I have printed, The CD-ROM's speed 

is a lot more predictable. Seeing that the 

drive is supposed to be a quad-speed 

• AM 


OCTOBER 1995 

/ drive, you'd expect to get around t 

600ka secondmark.And,nosurpn 

es here, that's exactly what you do get 

In conclusion, I would have to say that 

wouldn't use the Panasonic PD drive 

an everyday replacement for a hard dri 

but if you are going to use it for archiv 

or as a final step before mastering a C 

then this unit provides significant value f 

ar money. For users out there that haven 

yel bought a CD-ROM drive, it is perha 

worth pe waiting for a bit and saving up t 

extra cash to get your hands on an a 

tional 664Mb of hard drive space at the 

same time. As each additional 664Mb car 

-tridge only costs fifty quid it remains pro 

ably the cheapest way of beefing up yo 

Amiga at the lowest possible cost

omputer 2D animation has been 

having a rough lime of it over the 

last few years. After the eye 

candy niceties of LightWave, Wavefront 

and 3D Studio and its professional users. 

2D is seen as something from the past 

that should remain there indefinitely 

unless produced by Disney. There's no 

les flare. no 2.400 lights illuminating the 

undercarriage of a space freight and no 

30 chases through 24-bit deep space. 

freed. computer animation is inherently 

seen as a 3D format of polygons, 

ditmapped textures and splining because 

the medium lends itself so well to the 

genre and for the last few years has been 

seen as the best option for achieving the 

ercessible. The likes of Jurassic Park and 

Lawnmower Man to Babylon 5 and 

SetiOuest DSV have created a myopic 

view of computer's potential throughout all 

alas of silicon art. 

After this initial flux of enthusiasm In 

one area, it's now becoming more apparent 

that artists and animators from all 

weiliz of life are finding ways of turning the 

30 legacy into something else far, far 

removed 

Amiga Computing thought it was time to 

tin the spotlight on the unsung heroines

the animation scene to ask them what 

makes their Amiga such a vital comporeit

Originally an illustrator, 

Hodgson came 

across animation 

while studying 

at Liverpool arts 

school and decided that the 

moving image was tar more interesting. 

As with many art schools, the slant was 

very much on the experimental - a tradition 

that Hodgson still swears by today. 

He had his first introduction to computers, 

specifically the Amiga, only a year 

ago when he applied to the arts council 

for funding for a short experimental animation 

that'll be screened as part of the 

FourMations series on its completion. 

Since that time, the computer has 

become a vital part of his animation 

process. He has since produced an intro 

animation for Channel Four's Classic 

Trucks series (detailed below). 

MENTAL GRAFFITI 

Meanwhile. Hodgson continues to 

work on his animation. Described as 

'mental graffiti', using a variety of different 

medias from charcoal to video, the 

basic theme behind the film is what goes 

on inside someone's head while doing 

something as mundane as walking to 

work. The Amiga is being used as a vital 

part of the production with the now 

famous PARcard taking centre stage for 

lifter looking at 311 animation in fia5t

the management and playback of all

Images (detailed below). 

So impressed is Hodgson with the 

1 

Amiga that he's planning to produce 

another film created solely on the 

1 

machine. The appeal of using the Amiga 

is the speed of adding a variety of 

0 

effects: "You can turn a photographic 

image into an outline image within sec- 

, 

onds. Also, the potential for the likes of 

morphing is very exciting" commented 

N 

Hodgson. 

"While uses so far have been very 

a 

obvious, there's lots of stuff yet to be

done. Take typography - a hundred new 

typefaces can be created by morphing a 

single typeface and creating subtle differences 

and changes. The same could 

be done by morphing two pictures 

together. There's an endless resource 

that's just wailing to be fully exploited." 

Furthermore, the price of the equipment 

compared to the likes of a Ouantel 

paintbox plus the hire charge of an operator 

has proved a strong selling point to 

many animators including Hodgson: "It's 

amazing that you can do so much on a 

system now. It costs a fraction of the 

high-end systems - it's a crude Harry 

(Quantal)." 

There is a downside to all this enthu- 

siasm though - at present, he sees the 

use of computer graphics as a little limited: 

"There seems to be too much 

emphasis on style and techniques and 

how realistic you can make something. 

A lot of 3D stuff bores me - there's a 

real lack of content usually and the concepts 

behind the images are generally 

science fiction-based." 

Like any tool as well, he knows it 

takes time to get used to the computer: 

"There are so many options available 

that you can frequently find yourself disappearing 

up a blind alley and wasting 

time. The good side to this, though. is 

the potential for discovery as well." 

Despite his own success using the 

Amiga. Hodgson can never see himself 

moving solely onto a computer platform. 

- 

Pgraphics 

is how they fit in with other 

etechniques 

- that's when things are 

rgoing 

to start getting realty interesting."

me.

and The Mother, an adaptation of a 

lesser-known Hans Christian 

Anderson story. In fact, Channel 4 

liked her storyboard so much that 

production begins in September with a 

budget In the E40,000 area. 

Her other work shows the diversity 

available to animators. From 

producing short animated sequences 

for the CD-ROM version of the 

best-selling Griffin and Sabine trilogy 

now being produced by Peter 

Gabriel's Real World multimedia 

company, to a 20 minute training 

animation on how to deal with the 

problems of glue sniffing, her work 

is varied but boasts her own individual 

style. In the meantime, she 

has upgraded to a 4000 and the 

PARcard. 

With a healthy portfolio of animation 

tucked into one video cassette, she 

sees computer animation as an ideal 

media: "What's happening now is very 

exciting. Back in the old days, we 

were all terribly scornful of computers. 

People at college now find they can do 

what they want with computers and 

aren't having their work affected by 

clumsy technology.* 

FUTURE THOUGHTS 

As for the future. Linglord is equally 

optimistic: - 

Anyone 

animate — I don't find that thought 

wthreatening. i l l At the end of the day, it's 

ball about e the idea behind the 

aanimation b not the technique, and com- 

lputers e offer an ideal platform to get 

tstarted." 

o She still believes, though, that people 

must learn the fundamentals of 

animation creation to give them the 

necessary knowledge to make a solid 

start. Her advice for budding animators 

is simple: 'I'd just use DP415 and 

draw using the light box. Draw the 

movement first to get a feel of what 

animation is all about. The look can 

come later." 

She also sees computers as offering 

an excellent way of learning the 

ropes. In between her animation work 

she has been teaching at the 

University of Humberside and some 

days at the National Film and 

Television School. 

With something like walk cycles, 

you're always going to get it wrong to 

begin with. Ii requires lots of practise 

and I noticed while teaching that students 

have a tendency to be very 

precious when drawing with pencil and 

paper 

- it takes them a long time as they 

Lin painstakingly draw out each frame. 

gfo The majority, though, end up with a

Renminen, has been producing animation for the 

last 20 years. An animation director by trade. 

computers have only just begun taking a very 

actms role In her work. On board is her son Dan 

ArraII, a computer operator and animator whose 

expertise has also helped Jonathan Hodgson. 

I was in 1974 that she had her first experience 

with a computer: "I was in London to shoot 

a commercial with Electronic Arts and became 

involved because the media was interesting and 

new. Unfortunately at that time, the whole 

computer operation was in the hands of the 

engineers not the creatives due to the inaccessitdey 

of the hardware and software" commented 

Rimminen. 

Subsequently, she didn't return to the computer 

scene for another 20 years. In the meantime, 

she continued with her commercial work and 

has tad venous animations shown on Channel 

4. /ter next foray into computers was the Amiga 

500, owned by her son, which came with Deluxe 

Paint 3. So impressed with the standard possible, 

she quickly invested in a 4000 and a 

PARcarcl The machine is currently being used 

on another Channel 4 Four Mations anim in conjunction 

with the Silicon Graphics. With the 

mock-up created on the Amiga already, the bulk 

of the final version is being produced on the SGI. 

RISKY BUSINESS 

While some Amiga owners maybe fuming at 

the thought, Rimminen is quick to point out that 

one of the reasons for bringing in the SGI was 

me cloud of doubt hanging over Commodore's 

luture 'We had planned to go with Arnigas solely, 

but with such an investment in something that 

was looking decidedly shaky it was just too 

much of a risk. 

- Indeed, she sings the Amiga's praises: "I've 

werked with Macs as well and it has lots of interesting 

programs but its still not a great machine. 

It the Amiga was developed in the same way as • 

the Mac - easy to use in other words - it would 

be ideal" 

Star of the show though, yet again, is the 

PARcard. While shooting the live footage at 

hired studios, they used a Hi-8 video camera 

and stored each frame directly onto the card 

which was set up nearby. The Amiga has also 

taped her puppet skills as well - while shooting 

a particular scene, Rimminen needed to him a 

dill rolling out a handbag_ Instead of the usual 

painstaking set-up required to perform such an 

anirrelion feat, she simply held the doll in the relevant 

position for each frame and then took out 

her fingers using Brilliance in post production. 1 

hnd the system very tactile which is unusual for a 

computer._ it enables me to use my puppet skills 

and help in the process 

- While s h the e SGI takes centre stage in this prodaction, 

c o mRimminen m e n is t obviously a true enthusiast. 

e 'While d . at a show recently, I met dozens of 

animators all singing the praises of the machine. 

Even after all this time, there's a real community 

saint tor the Amiga. II Escom succeed. I think the 

future for the Amiga in the animation sector is 

excellent."

t lastl Amiga net surfers have a 

graphical world wide web browser 

that is capable of dealing 

with forms. AMosaic v1.413 was launched 

onlo an unsuspecting public in the early 

days of July and has a revamped GUI with 

a nice bouncing ball progress animation 

Ouch better than the pulsing radio button 

or the spinning clock hand) and Netscapelike 

gadgets tor progress through the 

wodd wide web. Also included in this latest 

version is the ability to type into the URL. 

address line, rather than having to open a 

requester and a built-in, hierarchically 

cdgantsed hollist, 

My overall impression is that this version 

is actually ever so slightly slower than 

AMosaic 1.3, but given its added benefits 

lin willing to forego that extra speed. 

Rinnily enough, given that AMosaic now 

ircludes a truly animated progress button, 

graphical navigation buttons and the 

ZIA), to construct forms, the executable's 

size is actually less than that of its 

predecessor. 

The way AMosaic now supports forms 

does seem slightly clunky, but I would 

Imagine this is down to the way MUI and 

ArnigaDOS work. What happens is that 

wfen you get to a URL that has a form. 

say the registration form for HotWired, The 

Electronic Telegraph or Yahoo, the 

AMosatc window disappears to be 

replaced by a little window telling you that 

AMosaic is constructing a form. The 

Aktsaic window then reappears with the 

tarn in place, voila! 

When you leave a forms page, exactly 

tie same thing happens. Scrolling within a 

bras page is a bit grinding, so some work 

Ct viously still needs to be clone on that 

front Another thing I miss from using 

Netscape at work all day is the MailTo: 

CGI script. This lets you click on someone's 

e-mail address on a home page and 

tend them some mail, but I guess you 

Pet have everything all at once. 

Next up is a related bit of software, 

Berend Ozceri's AMHotlist. This now also 

sports the hierarchically arranged hotlist 

elides You can create sub-menus and 

simply put your existing entries within 

hose sub-menus by clicking on the 'move' 

Don't forget 

the MI 

ACLISe e llite ste a dfa stly re fusing 

to conne ct to a re fle ctor sitet n 

button and then clicking where you want 

the entry No more shuffling through an 

endless hotlist trying to find the page you 

want — stuff them all inside descriptively 

named sub-menus and all your cares 

simply fly away. 

Well, perhaps not, but I do recommend 

using AMHothst v2 instead of the hothst in 

AMosaic itself because it is much nicer to 

use and can have a lot more entries visi- 

ble at one time. Of course, if you are having 

to use AMosaic on a native Amiga 

screen, you might not have enough room 

to display them both and still have adequate 

room for the main AMosaic window. 

VERSION UPGRADE 

Lastly, there is a new version of the 

Amiga's sole videoconlerencing tool available 

on the net. At the time of writing, 

ACUSeeMe was at version 2_01, but I 

know that version 2.02 at least will be 

available by the time you read this. 

CUSeeMe is a standard for Internet videoconlerencing 

which gives you 'realtime' 

video and audio communications with 

another machine. This works great if you 

have a whole load of Unix boxes with 

cameras and mikes linked into an ATM 

network, but definitely leaves a little to be 

desired over a telephone line. 

Because the Amiga doesn't have a 

camera or mike as easy system add-ons. 

All three of the programs I have talked about require Magic User Interface — MUI 

- to work, which is why the screenshots always look so groovy, but is also 

responsible for slowing down the programs somewhat. Ever since AMosaic was 

launched, there has been a backlash against MUI slating its size and slowness. 

The programmers of AMosaic and Mr Ozceri retort that what they created would 

MN taken much longer by normal means and certainly wouldn't look as good. 

I have no problem whatsoever with WI. It has rarely crashed my machine, 

ert a in ly no more than any other program. and provides a very good-looking 

, 

nomputing 

having given a registered version away with the July issue, there 

tshould 

no longer be any complaints about users having to pay to use it, so 

itemps 

people should give MUI a break_

ACUSeerne will probably only appeal to 

lurkers because you have no way of 

replying to anything that is said or done at 

the other end of the link. This version 

actually interprets the reflector list that it 

comes with so you no longer have to type 

the addresses of the reflectors into a text 

gadget, you can simply select them from 

a scrolling list. 

Refl ectors are sites that carry 

CUSeeMe traffic, be it solely audio or 

both audio and video. and behave some- 

what like IRC servers in that they act as 

central gathering points for people to call 

into. ACUSeeMe is also written by the 

prolific Mr Ozceri who seems to have no 

end to his talents.

poi a t games so long market ago, was the Amiga awash 

0 with high-quality, innovative 

titles that sold in abundance. But after 

the collapse of Commodore. software 

companies unsurprisingly became very 

cautious when it came to releasing 

Amiga games. Some, after years of 

supporting the machine, were only too 

ready to abandon it and desert to the 

PC camp, others took a toe-dipping 

policy, releasing a couple of titles or 

even worse - second-rate PC portovers 

while many titles were 'put on 

hold.' . 

But now, the latest news from Escom 

is that the Amiga is going back into production 

and an Al200 is promised for 

September. But with a higher than 

expected RRP announced at E399, a 

lot of people are going to take a fair 

amount of convincing that developing 

for the Amiga is once again going to be 

a viable option. 

And, not only have Escom got their 

work cut out for them in this respect, 

but the vicious circle of developers not 

making the games until retailers stock 

them, and retailers not making shelf 

space available until they see widespread 

commitment, must be broken 

GENERAL CONSENSUS 

64 

Amiga Computing talked to key 

industry sources to get the general 

opinion about the future ot the Amiga 

games market and what they'd like to 

see from Amiga Technologies. 

The Amiga has always been the 

cheap, yet quality horns computer that 

not only could you buy the latest 

games for, but you could also create 

music on, compile a database and 

write a letter The PC has always been 

priced over three times as much as the 

Amiga. The consoles, while available 

for the same price, were merely toys 

that could do no more than play 

games. But after a year off the market 

has it still got what it takes? 

As it stands, the Amiga still has 

IP(11 5PRE 

There has been a lot of speculation about what the new Amigas 

will be like and the price at which they will retail. Incidentally, 

the interviews were conducted before Escom announced the 

price of the new Al200, and at Eng, it's a lot more than everyone 

was hoping for. 

Marcus Dyson, Team 17: "Al200 with an 030. 4Mb RAM (2 

fast, 2chip) and a 120Mb hard drive for E299. This may sound a 

little unrealistic, but PC's are now so well specified and so 

cheap that Amiga has to really offer good value for money." 

Andy Jolly, Binary Emotions: "The Al200 has to be around 

the t200 price range." 

Michael Crook, Guildhall: lt the Al200 can re-enter the market 

at E349.99 or less they will immediately grab a healthy 

chunk of consumer spend this Christmas." 

Simon Reynolds, Inter-mediates: I would like to see a 

cheap (sub-E200) Al200 in the marketplace, to kickstart interest 

in the Amiga."

many strengths which the supportive 

software developers are only too keen 

to point out. A strong and loyal user 

base already exists and Escom need to 

cultivate this. As Chris Warrender from 

Grandslam points out: "Escom must listen 

to the users, both past and present, 

and give them what they want in relation 

to the machine rather than telling 

them what they need. They have a 

ready-made installed base to start from 

- they should not ignore these users, 

but should foster the relationship 

between user and developer and this 

base will, undoubtedly increase. 

- Amiga users have proved themselves 

extremely loyal, especially with 

a generation who have grown up 

the machine. Marcus Dyson, he 

Multimedia at Team 17 states:

taught a whole generation of ga 

players the bun of graphics, music

sion we make will take this into consideration." 

Simon Reynolds for Special Reserve 

is rather more pessimistic: 'The 

demand for Amiga products is dwindling 

down to the fact that there has 

been no new hardware sales for a 

year, and after a year out of the market, 

and with the Saturn and 

Playstation looming, Escom are going 

to have to do something really special 

to succeed." 

This time factor is also seen as a 

major problem that Escom will have to 

overcome. A year out of the market is a 

long time and in its absence the PC 

has taken the major foothold in the 

home computer market. Simon Jeffery. 

Vice President of Marketing at Virgin 

Interactive states: "Those who require 

a future-proof computer for education 

and a bit of gaming will be driven 

towards a DOS-based PC. Intel 

and Microsoft have 

increased the profile of 

the PC to the nonhobbyist 

consumer 

to the extent that 

people equate the 

term computing 

with the names of 

those two companies. 

This delimits 

the Amiga to the 

hobbyist and design 

sectors, plus niche 

areas like video. So pricing

limited by being mainly a 

European platform - the Superconsoles 

will be international: "Their 

problem will be that the other platforms 

are truly international whereas the

Michael Crook of Guildhall. Jeffery 

believes, too, that the Amiga will never 

be seen as a serious business

that's conservative. Sadly, I can't envisage 

the day when Microsoft publishes 

Amiga-specific epos." He linishes: "The 

Amiga is a wonderful hobbyist machine. 

To pretend it's anything more will be its 

downfall." 

Apart from the hardware not being on 

the shelves for a year, the Amiga has 

also faced other problems. Piracy is 

cited as one factors that has led to the 

situation. One way around this would be 

to increase the amount of development 

on CD format. As Dyson puts it: 'Any 

company that is developing for the 

Amiga but isn't doing CD32 stuff is out 

of its mind. Because CD piracy is still 

(relatively) uncommon, Amiga CD software 

sells in larger amounts than the 

CD32's marketshare would suggest. 

More Amiga owners are getting CD- 

ROM drives and if companies will 

release enhanced CD software, I'm con- 

vinced they will see that effort rewarded 

with sales. 

"Personally, with faster loading times, 

less disk swaps and no need to take up 

hard drive space with full installs, I'd 

rather see all software issued on CD 

only." 

ENHANCING 

However, the CD32 in its current form 

is another bone of contention. Most 

games available for the CD32 have 

been port-overs from the Amiga with little 

or no enhancements, and the general 

feeling seems to be that the machine 

needs vastly enhancing and CD-specific 

titles need to be developed - especially 

with the imminent arrival of the Sony 

Playstation. Jolly backs this up: 'We 

think that the CD32 in its present design 

will have a hard time if it goes back into 

production - unless Escom intend to 

focus it on a different market, i.e, a 

set-top box. They must produce an 

upgraded CD32, re-styled and renamed 

would be a good move, complete with a 

tight development schedule," 

What software developers would actually 

like to see on the Amiga itself is 

wide and varied, but most seem to be in 

agreement that they'd like to see 

increased specs. Warrender replies: "I 

would like to see high-capacity hard drives, 

built-in CD-ROM. cross platform 

compatibility, a new high resolution 

monitor to coincide with a higher standard 

video output. a portable version,

of the Commodore range since 

the early machines, and will continue 

to develop titles as long as Amiga 

users are still out there to buy them."

that really can't be used to 

_ 0 H 4 3 describe xcitingl Interesting! filing systems Two on words the 

Amiga. However, Fourth Level 

I Developments have now released Ami- 

FileSafe with the proud claim that d's the 

new de facto standard for the Amiga. 

First off, a briel explanation of what a file 

system is: It's a bit of software that sits in 

the system and maps tiles onto a disk or 

suitable medium, servicing requests for 

data. The Amiga has used FastFileSystem 

for the past few years but this has its faults, 

including speed and fault tolerance. 

It you reset your Amiga while writing to a 

disk you'll know about it when you boot 

again - the disk thrashes around trying to 

re-validate itself. The bad news is that 

occasionally it can't sort itself out, at which 

point ifs time to start praying that some 

extra utility can recover your files. This can 

take an inordinate amount of time and still 

fail. 

AmtFileSate's main claims are to never 

become invalidated and also to be nippier, 

which does sound too good to be true, The 

first hurdle I suspected was that installation 

would be a pain, but thankfully the manual 

is excellent so people who have no experience 

of this sort of thing will be fine. You'll 

need HDToolBox to follow the manual's 

instructions but RDPrep can be used to do 

the same iob - one should have been supplied 

with your system. Due to the nature 

of the product, your disks need to be reformatted 

after installing the new filesystem 

onto them, but you'll already have a recent 

backup of your data, won't you? 

STILL WORKING

REVIEW 

Once in place and with data reinstalled. I 

was glad to see that everything still worked 

and that my machine definitely booted 

Jester_ AFS's claim of improved parallel 

access certainly seems to be founded and 

the seemingly endless thrashing when 

ToolManager and EGS battled for bandwidth 

has pretty much become negligible. 

Time for the reliability tests - close eyes, 

copy large file and reset half way through. 

No troubles with invalidation. Group delete 

files and reset? Nowt wrong. Okay, time for 

the biggie. Unplug the SCSI cable while 

writing data and up pops a requester saying 

Write Error. Cancel that a few times. 

Alia! Gotcha! Replug the SCSI cable and 

the light starts flickering again. Alter a second 

or two. my 3Mb file has been copied 

and the disk is valid. No data had been 

lost! Unbelievable, and a possible scenaho 

for those with an external disk farm. 

On the data security side of things, I 

reckon it's sale to say that this is exceptionally 

good. but maybe the real word to 

describe it is bulletproof. 

Over to speed now. ArniFileSafe's other 

big claim. 'Instant Directory Listings claims 

the cover of the manual. Maybe I'm just 

cynical, but I think I've heard this sort of 

thing too many times before so I was 

expecting disappointment. I was wrong.

The only benchmark parameter th 

below FFS for AFS is a seek/read para

MISSING FEATURES 

At the moment, MultiUser users will 

be able to fully work with AFS, but a 

upgrade is promised to version 2.1 

will support this. The only other mis 

feature (which the manual draws 

attention to instead of trying to hide) is 

there is no 'undelete' feature, but thi

'ie. Amiga uoesn't prom,se to 

be all things to all men, and 

women in these politically 

rrect limes, but ills surprising the 

erent uses people put their 

hines to. From word processing 

video, from 3D animation to image 

mpulation, from genealogy detains 

to route planners. People even 

y games on Arnigas, believe it or 

This diversity of application for our 

rite machine means there are 

always new spheres for users to 

break into. New users seem to tend 

to buy their Amigas solely for games 

playing. but the lure of all that other 

software soon lakes hold. With the 

advent of ever cheaper SCSI hard 

trves and hard drive controllers, getting 

into the serious side of the Amiga 

has never been easier. Now all we 

need is a cheap, good quality monitor 

compatible with all Amiga screen 

nodes. 

Ah. but what of the ideal Amiga? I 

Fess it you had an unlimited amount 

of money to spend and an unlimited 

number of PCMCIA, trapdoor or 

ZOrro slots, you could get yourself a 

amazing bit of kit But seeing 

most people are limited to one of 

Ole former and four of the latter, we 

ciall want to go too crazy. 

CRITERIA 

So what criteria shall we apply. 

ell. I'll limit each category Of 

chines to only two choices for 

are and two for software - that 

we won't be spending excessive 

nis of money. 

I'll assume both our base machines 

the new A4000T-040 and an Amiga 

1200 - have got an existing hard 

drive of at least reasonable size, and 

t the A4000T has 10Mb RAM. 

machines can have a standard 

or Microvitec because I'm feelgenerous, 

but that's it. No more. 

Let's determine what the cateries 

are going to be for our 

erAmiga. With only two pieces 

of hardware and software, we 

1 possibly have the best Amiga of 

worlds, so we try for the best 

ga for. say, DTP. Right, we've 

one category, what about 

others? Hmm, what's 

Amiga good at... 

how aboutalL 

egories for 

les, video, 3D modno. 

and music. I 

Mk that will do for 

So let's start looking at 

those categories. We may as 

well go in the order I listed them 

(hey, it's my article, I'll do what I 

want). So without further ado, let's 

have a look at the ideal A4000T and 

Al200 for DTP. 

Super DIP Ilmiga 

Unfortunately, our choice of software for the Al200 

and A4000T is rather limited these days. Basically, 

you can have PageStream, or there's PageStream 

and if you don't like that you could always choose, 

erm. PageStrearn. ProPage is no longer in development, 

although you might be able to find a copy of it 

from somewhere. As for the others, none of them 

were really up to scratch apart from maybe 

PageSetter. on a limited basis, 

and yes, you guessed 

it, it's no longer in 

development either 

and is just as hard to 

find as ProPage 

So we'll go with 

PageStream 3 (perhaps it 

will be version 3.1 by the 

time you get to read this) as 

our main piece of software for 

both the A4000T and Al200. 

We still have another bit of software 

to get for both machines. 

I'm going to start a trend that says 

Al200 owners have less money to 

spend than A4000T owners, A 

stereotype? Maybe, but I think that if 

you are willing to spend about E2000 

on a machine, you're more likely to be 

rolling in it than someone who only 

spends E400. 

So for my other piece of super software for an 

Al200 I'm going to suggest that the best choice 

would be Studio II printer software and an HP Deskjet 

660C for hardware. This new version of the excellent 

Deskjet 500C gives very high resolution mono output 

and great colour for a price that would have been 

unthinkable four years ago. Combine this with the 

superb output that Studio is capable of producing and 

you'll have a hell of a low-end set up. To top off my 

hardware choice I think a CD-ROM drive would be 

the most useful item to take advantage 

of the many CD-ROMs

FEATURE 

Super Uldeo Amiga 

If there's one area in which the Amiga excels more than in graph. 

les, it is in video pruduction. We have genlocks coming out of our 

ears and video tilling packages to match. Whether they are the 

high-end like Montage 24 or cheap and cheerful like Big Alternative 

ScroBer 2, the overriding message is that it you want a machine for 

video use, then gel an Amiga. 

Our low-end Amiga is tilf a powerful production tool in its own 

right, so what are we goirig to pile onto it? Both our machines are 

going to need genlocks, although the Al200 does have a pretty 

good composite out. On the genlock front, the choice for many a 

user has long been the Rendale 8E102 and variants, so that's the 

kiddie I'll pick for the Al200. 

As for my other piece of hardware. I think it would have to be 

either a frame grabber or a scanner, to incorporate logo's and 

images, etc. into video work. So I'm going to go for the ProGrab 

again because it really is groovy. 

On the software stakes, I think that you'd have to go a long way 

to beat the feature list in Deluxe Paint V which is particularly suited 

to creating flying logo animations but not necessarily scrolling text, 

For that I think we II need Big Altematrve Scroller 2 which is very 

simple but scrolls splendidly. 

For the A4000T we're going to seriously beef up the spec 

Because our machine comes with a fairly good SCSI hard drive. 

were really going to test it to the limits by chucking a VLab Motion 

card into the mix. The VLab Motion is probably one of the best bits 

of hardware released for the Amiga this year. It can grab live video 

in reallime and play it back. With the optional Toccata card you can 

add synchronised sound to your animations, but that isn't all. 

VLab Motion also comes with a whole series of special effects 

and DVEs that can be applied to a Vlab Motion sequence. The 

only problem is that they can take quite a while to generate. so the 

other piece of hardware I am going to choose is the CyberStorm 

060 accelerator card which should ensure that even the most 

complex of effects gets a kick up the backside speed-wise. 

This 58060-based accelerator makes sure you have the fastest 

possible Amiga. and even takes the SIMMs from your motherboard 

so you won't need to buy new memory. This board should also 

guarantee that the two programs I choose for the software side of 

the deal will run as last as possible. 

For one of those programs I am going to choose LightWave, 

possibly the best video production tool the Amiga has in its arsenal 

The other is going to have to be Scala Multimedia 400. This program 

is suitable for video titling, multimedia presentations, and all 

manner of other things. At the price you have to pay for it, offers 

one of the best deals for software available.

Super GraphiG Amiga 

Graphics is a bit of a toughie. There are so many excellent programs for creating a 

editing graphics on the Amiga that it's hard to know how to pick Iwo. Right, roll up 

sleeves and start on the Al200. Graphics hardware is definitely going to have to inco 

rate a frame grabber ol some description and the ProGrab 24RT has been very 

received by everyone 

Following on the heels of the Vidi range of products, the ProGrab can be used thr 

either the parallel port pr PCMCIA slot, It works with all AGA screenmodes for the high 

possible quality grabs and has many built-in image processing features. It now comes 

a Plus version including S-VHS Input for the same low pnce. I think the other piece 

hardware should probably be a CD-ROM dnve again, particularly one with Phot 

access, for all those graphics CDs. 

As far as software is concerned, no super graphics Amiga would be complete with 

a paint package, so my nomination would be for Personal Paint. And because this Al 

has a CD-ROM dnve. I'm going to plump for the Personal Suite CD-ROM which not 

contains Personal Paint, but also Personal Write and the two Personal Font Makers, 

each for mono and colour fonts, along with a whole host of art and fonts. 

Since Personal Paint includes some image processing functions, I'm not going 

choose an image processor as my second choice. Instead I'm going to go for a s 

art package, this time Photogenics. Phologenics is probably the software tide of the 

for most Amiga users. 

In case you've been 

ing on Mars this ye 

Photogenics is a 24 

paint package which 

can even use on 

machine without a 2 

Cybsrilislon 6 4 gra phics boa rd 

Light Wave. LightWave, LightWave. We've 

even had letters of complaint from people 

saying we give it far too much coverage 

but when all's said and done, there's 

nothing better for general 3D 

modelling and animation 

on the Amiga. 

Imagine has much 

nicer textures and Real 

3D is extremely powerful, 

but only LightWave 

gives the user a modicum 

of power for very little effort. 

Its ideally suited to commercial 

work and with all the addons 

that are available for it, there 

is a flow of new ways to use it. 

However. I hesitate to recommend it 

for use with an Al200 owing to the 

fact that it has pretty high memory 

requirements and we haven't include.: 

any memory in with our stock Al200. 

I am going to choose an accelerator for 

the Al200, but I don't think if would be in 

the style of this article lo furnish it with 

more than the fairly standard four megs of 

memory. So what am I going to choose 

as my rendering package for the Al200 

think it has to be the latest version of 

7 I 

Imagine which, while overshadowed by its 

more famous rival, is still capable of some 

stunning renders. 

My other piece of software would have 

to either be a paint package for creating

in HAM-8. It supports 

wide range of file to

digitised images.

texture maps or a 3D object trans' 

But seeing that Imagine comes with 

many exquisite algorithmic textur 

ethink we can safely go for the otj 

translator instead. I'll go with Pixel 

Professional v2 which offers the 

facilities, including the ability to 'p 

polygons and import text as objects. 

On the hardware side of things I th

privilege of being the cheapest decent card 

for the Al200. 

Our A4000T is a pretty fast machine to 

start off with, but even it could still do with 

more processor power. So let's punch in 

that CyberStorm once more and push the 

envelope that bit further. Now our 

LightWave renders should just fly out of 

the machine, for LightWave is the software 

I'm going to choose for our top-end 

machine. 

But I still need another bit of hardware 

and software. LighlWave includes several 

object translation routines furnished by 

Syndesis, so I think I should concentrate 

on an art package. However, because I've 

only got one piece of hardware left to me 

it's going to have to be a native mode 

graphics package, so I'm going to go for 

Phologenics again. As for my other piece 

of hardware, it might have to be a CD- 

ROM as well, an internal one this time and 

NEC do a nice 6-speed number.

Super MU5i( Amiga 

FEATURE 

Music has long been an underrated aspect of the Amiga. but 

the sheer number of 'mods* available on the Aminet attests to 

the musical talents of our machines and their users. Any discussion 

of music equipment for an Amiga has to include 

Octamed and a MIDI interface, let alone a sound sampler. 

So we'll start off by including °clamed 6 in the bundle for 

both our machines and a sound sampler. For the Al200 a 

Technosound Turbo 2 is in order, A venerable 8-bit sound 

sampler, Technosound Turbo has been around for a while and 

is probably the best-selling Amiga sound sampler outside 

StersoMaster. It has built-in effects, both for realtime manipulation 

of sound and for the sounds you have sampled, and 

operates in mono and stereo. 

°clamed is also another long-running product. It was available 

first as a shareware product but it has now evolved into a 

full-blown commercial offering. Al only t40 it really does represent 

excellent value for money and can bypass the Amiga's 

four channel limit for sound by multiplexing to offer eight, 12 

or even 16 channels of sound. 

Our A4000T sampler ought to be something a little more 

exclusive, so we'll go for the Studio 16 package which consists 

of a sound sampling card that can sample true 16-bit 

sounds at up to and beyond CD quality. It can play back from 

a hard drive and offers several channels for the sound. 

Our other piece of hardware for both machines can be 

that MIDI interface I mentioned earlier. HiSoft do a nice 

one called the ProMidi Interface which comes with a Midi in, 

Midi thru and two Midi out ports. Our other piece of software? 

How about Music X 2 as a sequencer to make the best use 

of that Midi interface for the Al200 and Bars and Pipes 

Professional for the A4000.

In a 5tate 

whine 

ou've doubtless all seen programs 

that start as a collapsed 

bar inside a screen or windows 

Vie area and then open to a full sized window 

when the zoom gadget is activated. 

This trick is often used by utility programs 

to allow them to remain permanently available 

for use while not taking up much 

screen display space. Luckily. it's not that 

clifficdt to do and this month, for the benefit 

of those of you new to Intuition coding 

at the 680x0 level, I thought it would be 

useful to explain how it is done. 

Needless to say, the code used to perform 

this trick is fairly minimal, but in order 

to provide a runabie example it is necesto 

incorporate the various statements 

a fully fledged Intuition program. 

find the source for this on disk as 

file octobers and it is with the overall 

:•••ucture of this code that we need to start 

ntir discussions. 

The program begins by opening the 

intuition and gadtools libraries using a 

bop arrangement. If you end up wonderrig 

why I use this method when just two 

libraries are involved, it's because It's a 

useful standard approach since it works 

for any number of libraries. This technique, 

incidentally, was first discussed in 

the September '94 issue of Amiga 

Computing (and then outlined briefly again 

in the April '95 issue). If you find this 

•2 lust a single source file this month. As 

toned earlier, it's called oclober.s and if you 

to run it from the Workbench you'll need to 

ble it to produce linkable object code (octool 

and then link this to some startup code. 

ac users will probably opt for using the 

rtup.obj module for this purpose and t 

Blink command line needed in this case 

bilat as irtup.obj ottober.o to ootobor_tutprog 

.10M 

usly. you'll need to add We paths to reti 

various locations of Blink and the target 

you're used to doing this, aren't you?). As 

al, I've included a runable version of the 

pie program on disk as well, and to execute 

all you need do is double-click on the 

ober_testprog icon! 

section of the code at all mysterious then 

I'm afraid you will have to dig out (or beg, 

borrow, or steal) one of the above mentioned 

back issues_ Failing that, you could 

always treat yourself to a copy from our 

back issues department! 

Immediately after the library opening 

section comes a set of allocationidealloca- 

tion routines controlled by a series of subroutine 

calls. This code, again, should 

have a familiar ring to it since the 

approach has been used many times in 

past examples. A series of subroutine calls 

are made to lock the Workbench screen, 

get the Visualinfo data, open a window, 

and attach a simple (two-item) menu to it 

If you've not seen this type of code before, 

here's a brief description of how it works. 

ALL 

All resource allocation operations (i.e. 

things the program needs to set up before 

it can be considered as truly up and running) 

are coded in such a way that, providing 

they are successful, the address of the 

corresponding deallocation routine gets 

pushed onto a special 'deallocation stack'. 

When the program terminates, these 

addresses are removed and the associated 

deallocation functions executed. This 

method ensures that deallocation during 

closedown is always performed in the 

reverse order to that used during program

arrangement tip 

startup (for lull details of this particular 

trick take a look at the October '94 issue). 

Once the program is up and running (i.e. 

all allocation routines have been successfully 

executed), control passes to an event 

handling routine. The sole lob of this area 

of the code is to identify the various 

classes of events that Intuition has been 

asked to send the program. and take the 

appropriate action for each event that is 

detected. 

Listing 1 constitutes the program's 

event handling code. This starts by performing 

an exec library Waillport() call 

which puts the program to sleep until 

Intuition sends us a message saying 

something of interest has happened. How 

does the program tell Intuition what sorts 

of events are of interest? It's all done via 

the Window's tag list description — if you 

look at the tag entries in listing 2 you'll see 

that a WA _IDCMP tag is being used like 

dc,I WAIDCMP,IDCMP_MENLIPIC 

KIIDCMP_CLOSEWINDOW. This tells 

Intuition we want to receive notification 

whenever the user activates the menu or 

hits the close gadget. 

Remember, incidentally, that whenever 

any IDCMP (Intuition Direct Communication 

Message Port) tags like these are 

specified in a window definition, Intuition 

will set up the appropriate window message 

ports automatically, so this is not 

something our program has to worry 

about. What we do need to identify, 

however, is the address of the window's 

75

TUTORIAL 

UserPort because this is the message 

port at which Intuition IDCMP event messages 

will arrive. This address obviously 

needs to be available to the event handler 

and is obtained from the window 

Structure set up by Intuition by using the 

window pointer in conjunction with a 

wd _UserPort displacement like this 

movect windom_p,e1 

movecl md_UserPortfolt,o2 

address 

Within the event handler proper two 

events. namelY the user hitting the window's 

'close' gadget or selecting a 'Quit to 

Workbench' menu option, result in an exit 

flag being set that eventually causes the 

program to terminate. You'll see from the 

source that a check is also made for menu 

events whose code field is set to 

MENUNULL This is important since these 

events are generated whenever a 

user activates the menu, but then fails to 

make a selection (such events need to be 

recognised in order lo be safely ignored). 

The other menu option, incidentally, is just

title bar (olap5ed window5 

With the preliminary program layout discussions now 

safely out of the way we can deal with the real topic 

of the month — namely, how to produce windows that 

initially reside in, or can be made to collapse into, a 

window's title bar. Perhaps surprisingly. it is very 

easy to do because all it takes is a few well chosen 

tag list entnes in the window definition_ 

Firstly, provide a zero WA_Top value and set 

WA_Left to a value which places the 'window' at a 

suitable position within the title bar. Then set the 

Window initial width and height tags. WA_Width and 

WA_Height, to define a window which has only a 10 

pixel height (i.e. the height of a window title bar). For 

instance:

co-ordinates of your window to be stored as the 

'alternate' zoom gadget set, This involves using a

lied to a dummy routine so nothing actually 

happens when the menu item is selected. 

This act of tying a menu option to a 'do 

nothing routine in this way is actually a 

very useful trick dunng development of fully 

fledged applications. You may have 

dozens of menu options that relate to code 

sections that are as yet unwritten, and tying 

such options to dummy routines allows 

the event handler and overall structure of 

WA Zoom tag in the window definition to identify a 

pointer to a set of alternate window dimensions that 

will be used when the window's zoom gadget is 

selected_ These dimensions have to be provided as 

an array of word (16-bit) entries, so in the example 

program you'll find this lag entry: 

de. t WO_Loom soon_dato 

along with this cicw directive which identities the corresponding 

set of alternate window co-ordinates: 

toom_dota dt.o ISO 

4 

50,140,200 

The result? The window opens initially inside the fille 

bar and can be expanded to normal use Size by 

selecting the zoom gadget, You will, of course, be 

able to see the effect of these statements when you 

run this month's example program. To get the 

reverse effect, namely initially having the window 

open normally, but collapsing into the tale bar when 

the zoom gadget is activated, you just reverse the 

original and alternate sets of window co-ordinatesl

the code to be developed, even thoug 

many associated routines may not yet 

written. 

As the corresponding real routine 

become available, you just replace the 

appropriate call to the dummy routine w 

a call to the real version. Another benefit 

this type of approach is that it automatic 

provides an 'incremental testing' pathway 

It for example, your program works 

until you swap, say a... jsr DoNothing c 

with a call to a real routine, then you'll k 

straightaway that any faults that appear a 

almost certainly connected with the co 

present in the newly added routine! 

Most of the event handling code shou 

be easy enough to follow, but it may help 

examine the diagram shown in figure I

the first UK games companies to

On-line games division, they have now 

announced their new site which can be located 

at hitp:/www.teaml7.corni. 

It contains everything from a Team 17 softography

also have a demos page with both PC and Amiga 

demos of old and new Team 17 titles, and an FAQ 

page which answers all those burning questions 

people have always wanted to ask them. 

You will also be able to download hints and tips 

and view a letters page which allows browsers to

Guildhall Leisure and CDS have two more 

games to add to their strategy war games 

series One is Subversion, where you play the 

Commander of attack submarine 'Nautilus'. 

You have only two ships and by careful manogement 

of your resources, must obliterate 

oil enemy vessels. 

Their other is Bravo Romeo Delta, where 

you hove to take command of the US 

Strategic Forces just before a Soviet Nuclear 

Attack. You must defend your country and at 

The some time plan a Counter strike. 

Both releases will be available this August, 

priced at £9.99, 

Speed freaks 

The rumour mill has it that yet another Street 

Fighter game is in the pipelines to follow Super 

Street Fighter 2. Called Super Street Fighter 2 

Turbo, it's not actually being developed by US 

Gold. the company behind the previous titles, but 

a totally different team Gametek, the company 

behind Frontier, Elite, and other classics have 

undertaken the task and this particular edition 

has already proved very popular on the PC. 

An Autumn release is planned and as yet, 

Gametek are reluctant 

to reveal too much. 

Therefore, we can't 

tell you what the differences 

will be 

but graphically it 

should be quite 

rnpressive and will 

flay with some 

terrific speed. 

A sequel to Super Street 

Fighter 2 will follow

Domark's in-house development team. The

Caged Total Football, it promises to 'look as good

iches, multi-directional scrolling and action 

lays. Players can also take their pick from 50 

and can take port in International and 

Cup Competitions. 

Visually, it should be quite impressive with over 

player animation frames and over 50 player 

yements. An animated crowd and atmospheric 

sound effects will add authenticity, Expect

Curious things are happening in Norway. This morning's post contained a letter 

from a new Norwegian team called Borderline Developments and screenshots 

from their hopeful new offering 'Atads in Hyperspace' (what 'Atads' actually are 

is anyone's guess). It's an AGA adventure which will feature a raytraced intro and 

will be available for the Al200, A4000 and CD32. At the moment they are considering 

making it CD-ROM only because of its size. As of yet we no little more than 

this about the new team, but hopefully we'll bring you a full review soon. 

Unfortunately, we don't no much about 

the game at this stage - but a safe bet 

is that it takes place in space

Super Street Fighter allows you to put a 

very able combination of moves 

together. Each character has a good 

range of kicks, punches and special 

moves.

allows you to attack your opponent

1ollowing hot on the heels of all the 

hype surrounding the film, the latest 

addition to the Street Fighter titles is 

finally here for the Amiga. Called Super 

Street Fighter 2, it features four new 

players each with an additional setting. Now you 

will also find Carrimy (played in the film by Kylie 

Minogue), Dee Jay, Fei Long and I Hawk, plus all 

the old familiar ones. They have also been 

Improved with extra moves and new touches, 

However, the first thing that strikes you when 

you load up the game is how dated it all looks. A 

few years ago this would hove been quite 

acceptable but now after Mortal Kombat 2 and 

Shadow Fighter have passed. it does look its oge. 

And a very amateur Introductory animation is 

quite laughable. But the gameplay is what counts 

and this, fortunately, works well. 

You can either play against the computer, 

choosing the level of difficulty, OT a human opponent 

chosen from a number of characters. Each 

has their own set of 

special moves 

which are surprisingly 

easy to 

execute. The 

moves can be 

put together 

to perform a 

number of 'hit 

combos' and 

each charac- 

Blank() - uses electricity to keep his 

opponents at bay 

. 

Chun U - despite being one of the 

smaller fighters. this works to her advantage 

as she can move quicker than 

say, Zangief. 

E Honda - uses his sumo size to launch 

his powerful weight against his rivals 

Why did they 

leave this 

appalling intro in? 

ter is different enough to 

provide varied gameplay. 

E Honda. for 

example. is a large 

character who relies 

on his bulk, whereas 

Cammy is small but 

agile and has lightening 

fast reactions. 

The game can also 

be dramatically altered 

by changing the speed 

you play at, The Turbo 

option can be turned up to high which sp 

everything up - including the music - and m 

you have to think fast and move quickly to Qv 

the blows from other players. 

What is particularly nice about this game 

that it supports a joypad. This works a lot be.

You can pull oft a satisfying 

range of moves 

Black borders become 

irritating after a while

Battle of the 

beat-em-ups 

Super Street Fighter 2 as it stands is a good, 

playable title, but compare it to the likes of 

Modal Kombot 2 with its bloodthirsty graphics 

or Shadow Fighter and it does start to 

look rather limp. Mortal Kombot 2 managed 

to create an authentic atmosphere 

and had some fantastic and original 

special mcKies. 

Shadow Fighter was also a particularly 

rewarding and addictive game, with weltdesigned 

characters which looked very 

clear and detailed for this type of action.

separate button for either a punch or kick. You 

can also use a two-button joystick on this same 

principle. 

As I mentioned before, though, the graphics 

ore very dated - such as the bland backdrops 

which don't do anything to create atmosphere. 

And what's worse Is that they look flat and twodimensional 

and there's been no attempt to 

make them interesting with the use of animation. 

Okay, so this may have slowed the game down 

but other games manage this successfully and it 

would certainly have mode for a more polished 

looking title, 

Another flaw is the size and detail of the characters 

themselves. I'm sure they've been intricately 

designed but they're just too small too 

see any detail or, sometimes, what Is going on 

properly. Huge black borders around the screen 

don't help matters either and although you can 

change the screen mode from Pal 50 hertz to 

The many characters available 

keep things varied 

Fighle 

NTSC 60 hertz to speed things up and get rid 

of some of the blackness, it never disappears 

i 

completely. 

Music and sound effects don't really enhance 

the game either, with feeble death noises and dismal 

music. Oh, and some of the characters have 

some very strange verbal expressions when they 

launch an attack, such as 'Had-a-ken' or some 

other weird saying which does nothing to 

increase the rcompetitive atmosphere. However, 

what really let the game down was the amount of 

disk swapping involved. Thankfully it is hard disk 

installable, otherwise it would be completely 

unplayable with a ridiculous six disks to access 

each time. 

Final word 

After reading all this, it may sound like the 

game is a complete letdown. This isn't the 

case. Yes, It does have quite a few negative 

points but when it comes down to the gameplay 

it works extremely well - especially It you 

have a joypad. Two-player mode works particularly 

well too, and there's never a situation 

(unlike Rise of the Robots) where you can corner 

your opponent and bosh them to death 

with the same tedious move. 

An A500 version is also planned, although 

this won't support a joypcid. We'll bring you an 

update on this in a future issue.

backdrops fail

Reviewed by Andy Maddock 

he Gamer Gold is a compilation courtesy 

of Grandslam, containing 

Jetstrike, Bump 'n Burn and Nick 

Faido's Championship Golf. A flight 

simulation, racing game and a golf 

game? Will it work? 

Firstly, Jetstrike was released about a year ago 

on the CD32 format, it was basically a flight slm 

that adopted a different way of playing. Instead 

of the usual cockpit view. Jetstrike was viewed 

side on - a lot like Choplifter from many years ago. 

The idea is to select an aircraft from a huge array 

and take it through many different selected missions. 

These range from taking recon photographs 

of the enemy's positions to landing on the 

opposing side's runway to rescue some hostages. 

The floppy disk version, which was released 

around two years ago, was very difficult as well as 

being slow and jerky. Fortunately on the CD32, 

none of these problems have been resurrected 

You can select from a vast amount of planes 

and helicopters, and every plane you could possibly 

think of exists within Jetstrike, Spitfires, Falcons, 

Vulcans, Bombers, and Apaches are all available 

for selection, Jetstrike is well presented, has good 

gameplay and packs a real challenge. Certainly 

a good start for a compilation. Nick Fori•s

Championship Golf was released rather a .;Ir 

time ago and received a highly creditable awc 

in most magazines. On the CD32 format, nothir 

has changed - it's still one of the most playa 

and realistic golf games available. The n 

instantly recognisable feature is the cacid 

Although they made an appearance on the 

py version, they weren't that much use. 

Now though, they will gladly hurl abuse at 

or praise your shots extremely vocally. Bill, the 

ticularly sarcastic caddie, will do anything 

make you angry. The actual animation of NI 

Fold° taking the shot has improved too. On 

whole, all the graphics seem to have had 

tweaking to iron out any glitches. What makes it 

pleasure to play is the fact it does play like r 

golf. There are plenty of challenges and courses 

keep you going. 

Bump 'N Burn isn't that well known am 

Amiga owners - I'm sure only a handful have ac 

ally played it, I think it was released when roc 

games were in their prime, and because of 

Bump N' Burn didn't even get a sniff. 

Basically, it's a racing game whereby you h 

to survive the Bump 'N Burn championships, The 

are several tracks of Toonia's seven kingdoms 

through these you will be expected to get be 

and better until you are ready to compete ogai 

Count Chaos - the unbeaten champion. 

Bump 'N Burn is nothing special. The graphics 

don't particularly boost quality, and it doesn't ruil 

as smoothly as it should, but as it's on a corn 

tion with two other great games, you can't red 

complain - not for E.29,90 anyway.

rom the title and the screenshots, I can 

guess what all you readers ore expecting. 

It looks like Doom and sounds like 

Doom, but more importantly. does it 

play like Doom? 

There's no escaping the fact that the 'in' game 

at the moment is Doom._ on the PC. Everyone 

seems to want to make a close version of it on the 

Amiga - its rumoured there are many more to 

come. 

Some people believe Doom on the Amiga Ls 

lust not possible. and I agree with them. Others 

believe or hope to believe that Doom will grace 

their Amiga screens soon. I feel it will never be 

reproduced on the Amiga because of the technical 

differences between the PC and the Amiga. 

However, if Escom do produce a PC that's Amigo 

based then I'll have to believe it when I see it Until 

then, I won't be holding my breath. 

Gloom is basically a 3D shoot-'em-up that contains 

the most violence ever witnessed. There is an 

option to switch it to either meaty or messy. If 

messy is selected, as soon as you fire a bullet at 

one of the opposing soldiers they will burst into little 

bits and leave an awful mess on the floor 

which you will have to walk through. You can 

imagine otter shooting quite a few soldiers that 

the floor won't remain In its shiny, polished state. 

You are basically thrown Into a futuristic Space 

Doom and Gloom 

Other games following this genre are Allen 

Breed 3D, Fears. Behind the Iron Gate, and 

more recently Citadel from the Polish team 

Arrakis Software - previewed in this issue. Gloom 

has a fair amount of competition to get through 

and each one is looking excellent. Can Doom 

finally be reproduced on the Amigo? From 

what we've seen of these efforts already, it's 

getting there. I'm beginning to change my 

mind completely. 

CO 


These two human players are staring straight at 

each other. However, one of them is invisible 

Hulk maze which looks remarkably like the 

scenery used in the film Aliens, and the idea is to 

get out - alive. This is not such an easy task 

because there are literally hundreds of foot soldiers 

and bore chested madmen to plough 

through. These and huge robots will stand in your 

way, firing bullets ten times the power of your 

own.

Is essential for disposing the bigger robots. 

There are plenty of options to choose from 

before you begin the game, including a twoplayer 

split screen where you can chase your 

opponent around a sealed maze with only yourself 

and a gun. You can also play Gloom through 

a serial link connecting two Amigo's together, so 

you can both play using a full screen. 

The Amiga 1200 has, in the post, been able to 

n out some quite speedy graphics, although 

thing has to be sacrificed for this. For more 

ea. the variety or amount of sprites usually 

deteriorates immensely. in Gloom's case, The variety 

of sprites Is lacking and during the later levels 

the amount of sprites does affect the speed. 

There are three main locations and in these 

there are some sub-missions where you have to

Ling colleagues which is a shame because it

Gloom unfortunately hasn't got.

that have previously been released before. 

The floppy disk collections from 1 to 200 

ore all archived on to the CD and require 

dearchiving via Workbench - although the 

actual games can be run immediately from 

easy-to-use menus. There are a bundle of 

games all categorised Into sections and 

then alphabetical order, and these range 

from arcade games to card, puzzle and 

quiz games. 

The utilities ore all packed as DMS files 

which need to be dearchived on to floppy 

disks. A disk masher program is included but 

the UNDMS command will still need to slide 

into the C: directory on your hard drive The 

utilities are a selected bunch of audio and 

graphic disks, featuring mods and anims. As 

can guarantee that you will have 

played most games on this CD, as several 

versions of them are still knocking 

about in a dark corner of a pub somewhere 

in the world. During the '80s these games 

were flying around all the best arcades in the 

country. Oh, how we hate advances 

in technology! 

Frogger, Space Invaders. Defender, 

Tetris, Missile Command and Pacman 

are all included on this CD, along with 

500 others. Each one is an actual variation 

on the original, so it won't be an 

exact arcade copy but a close Amigo 

version. Incidentally, a couple of goes 

on Galaxian on the arcade would 

probably have set you bock about 

10p. Nowadays, with the addition of 

virtual arcades. E3.50 is the set price - 

just for one measly go 

It's astonishing how the games have 

advanced so much. yet classics like 

Space Invaders still have greater 

playability and challenge than some of the 

brand new games in today's market. The best 

game in the arcade had to be Frogger, a game

I must advise you that if you do happen to

although It may not appeal to the younger

Comparing today's market prices, £9.99 seems

One problem that can be experienced when running 

Spectrum games on the Amiga is that the games are 

exceptionally slow. This is because of the different processing 

speeds between the two machines. Howevei. 

the games on this CD don't seem to slow down and as 

said before, load in seconds. 

People who used to use the Spectrum frequently will 

get the most out of this CD. 'What's the point, Though?' I 

hear you say. People tend to leave these CDs alone, 

maybe because their experience with the Spectrum 

wasn't a good one, or they still have theirs and claim that 

if they want to play the games they'll fish them out from 

a box in the corner of the attic. 

Don't bother - for £14.99 you may as well save 

yourself the trouble. I can guarantee you'll slide 

deeply into old times.

Hollywood sequels, the software 

industry will churn out game after 

IIike 

game based on the same tried and 

tested formula. Its not always a bad 

thing - after all. some sequels make 

vast improvements over the originals - but there 

comes a time when repackaging the same 

goods Is going to leave the audience jaded. 

In gaming, no genre is more repetitive in its 

content than the beat-'em-up. The popularity of 

its most impressive incarnations has lead software 

houses to come back for more rich picking with 

games that vary little apart from slightly 

enhanced graphics and bloodier special effects 

Years after the beat-'em-up's birth, however, 

even the laziest developers have been trying to 

give their new combat games a vaguely fresh 

twist. Spectacular metamorphosising finishing 

moves, international locations and a greater 

range of bizarre characters have been wheeled 

in to inject new fighting spirit into the proceedings 

With robots and streetfighters behind us. 

Gametek are going for a new angle with a game 

featuring cute but deadly critters as Its musclebound 

contenders. Named Brutal: Paws of Fury. 

this new title steers away from the realistic visual 

approach of Mortal Kombat In favour of more 

humorous, cartoon-like charicatures. 

The simple storyline bears a For Eastern flavour 

with lots of sayings from bogus mystical teaching 

padding out the ten characters' backgrounds. 

Choosing from creatures like Kung Fu Bunny, Tai 

Cheetah or Kendo Coyote. players fight It out in 

a competition to find the world's best fighter. 

Graphically. Brutal is only slightly above average, 

with reasonably well drawn characters playing 

out the action against varied but unimpressive 

locations. In compensation, however, the game's 

contenders have been mode more lively with the 

addition of characteristic gestures and moves.

Unfortunately, Brutal is let down by some irritating 

flaws one of which occurs in the mountain 

5Cene where characters die if they fall off the 

edge of the combat platform. The problem is 

That the lion opponent that inhabits this location 

has the habit of careering off the edge 

before the player has had a chance to touch 

him - or at least that's so in earlier levels. 

The inclusion of a password system for each 

character is vital, especially when you've 

gained access to a good range of special 

moves. The fact that this currently doesn't seem 

to work gives further cause for concern.

The game's modest appearance does little to

'Paws. The cartoon characters make an appealrig 

change in the genre, but the quality of the

handicap by combining a few innovations with 

-enjoyable gameplay. Training to acquire a 

broader repertoire of moves did much to solve 

the problem of giving a combat game a long-

through the game until I almost finished on Its 

highest difficulty - and that was on my first game. 

This problem can be avoided by staffing the 

game on a higher level to start with, because it 

then becomes hard to get each of those powerful 

advanced moves. Nevertheless, considering 

how experienced most players are in this genre, 

the developers should have mode Brutal a 

bit tougher from the outset. This is not a damning 

criticism, however. 

What's more worrying is the fact that the password 

system didn't work, which seriously detracts 

from the long-term playability. Providing 

Gametek sort this and a few other minor flaws 

out, however this beat-'em-up could be a worthy 

addition to your game shelf.

Newcomers Blitzware set out to

change my mind completely with 

h 

their new product Center Court.

has to be the greatest tennis

game on the Amiga I'm sure 

f 

you're all familiar with the 

i 

game of tennis, and even if

you don't understand the 

a 

rules. I'm sure you've all seen

l 

Court isn't merely just a quick

a 

Basically, the idea behind a 

c 

career in tennis is to enter as many 

k 

competitions as possible and win 

e 

Them - picking up quite a hefty sum of 

d money in the process. All the players are 

seeded before you begin and their seeding 

u 

p 

will change after each tournament - depending 

where they finished and how many points they 

acquired. 

At the moment Pete Samaras is the number 

one seed. but if other players win matches and 

trophies they will eventually take over the top 

spot. The most money is won by coming first in all 

the tournaments and staying number one in the 

world rankings. That way you can be sure you'll

You can enter your own name and euit y

Agassi is recognised easily by his rather fetching 

cap and Boris Becker by his ginger locks. 

Throughout your career you ore given the option 

whether to take part in a particular tournament 

or not. If you do you may win it or even acquire 

some money for the runners-up spot, but if 

you don't take part at all, your ranking won't 

increase and you'll be left sniffling at the 

bottom of the league with a lower rating than a 

cabbage. 

If you select the career option you will be able 

to access all the other players' statistics and their 

rankings and also see the points table. These are 

all very useful when it comes to playing an opponent 

you are unsure about. 

The actual match sequences are very addictive 

and contain all the various shots contained in 

tennis, such as forehands, backhands, smashes, 

diving shots and volleys. All of these can be performed 

very easily with the slightest movements 

with the joystick. 

Add Software, the makers behind Skidmarks 

are distributing Center Court Tennis. As it is programmed 

in Blitz Basic there's no reason why it 

can't be of the same quality as Skidmarks. We'll 

have to wait and see,

Arrakis Software are a company who 

usuolly develop utility products for the 

Polish market. Their latest projects 

Include a new editor like Final Writer, a 

database, and a spreadsheet with versions in 

Polish. English. Czech and German planned. But 

the reason for their inclusion in this section is 

because of their latest title which means a real 

change in direction for the Polish team_ Called 

'Citadel' it joins the latest in a long line of Doom 

clones for the Amiga It's not the only game in the 

pipeline either. Diamonds Mine' is the next on the 

schedule with three more to follow - although 

details are sketchy at the moment. 

Citadel, as previously mentioned, Is a Doomesque 

shoot-'em-up. Viewed from the usual first- 

* person perspective, set in a 3D environment, you 

Previewed by Tina Hackett 

There are many 

different screen 

modes 

available and 

each a lte rs 

the speed 

depending on 

machine 

are armed with a gun and the 

mission is to shoot anything 

that moves. 

A brief plot summary 

casts the player as the only 

surviving crew member on 

a mysterious planet and 

their mission is to destroy the 

Citadel. The Citadel is the 

army complex placed 

under the surface of the planet 

D104-GS12. When communications 

broke down, your crew - 

the X16, combative operation unit 

- was sent to see what hod gone 

wrong. The rest of the crew have now been 

destroyed. 

When finished the game will contain 20 levels, 

varying in difficulty and using different graphical 

scenarios. The final version will also have a 2Mb 

rendered intro and will have in-game and Game 

Over animations. 

The pre-production demo we played had 

plenty of blood and gore to keep the more blood 

thirsty happy. It also looks like it will be quite suc 

-cessful in creating a mysterious atmosphere - 

something the other clones seem to lack so far. 

One thing we weren't too happy with at this 

stage was the way you got hurt when you 

bumped Into walls - a fact which is inevitable 

when you play from this view. 

The main character of the cyborg is armed 

with six types of weapons, all of which are necessary 

to see off the different types of enemies. The 

hero can also get tired, 

become injured and even get 

drunk. As well as being able to 

blast the enemy, the player 

will encounter puzzles and 

traps such as moving walls 

and levers and buttons which 

need to be operated. 

The recent problem that 

the developers of the Amiga 

Doom clones face is how to get the game running 

smoothly at quite a fast rate, but without 

reducing a lot of the detail. Most have overcome 

this by making their game configurable to suit the 

capabilities of different machines. 

Similarly, Arrokis Software hove also made this 

possible by making the game window a variety of 

different sizes and incorporating user-definable 

detail levels. So those with on A500 can still 

expect a fairly slick game as long as they play on 

a small window and without floors. Those with 

Al200s and above, on the other hand, can freely 

choose screen size and level of detail_ 

Expect a full review of Citadel soon. We'll also 

be bringing you a round-up of the best and rest of 

the Amiga Doom clones when we've seen all the 

contenders in what seems to be genre of the 

moment. 

This is the 

smallest view 

available - a 

bit too small 

perhaps

Sensible World of Soccer 

There have been so many cheats and tips flying around for the 

greatest football simulation ever, we thought we'd join the party! 

When you begin the game, be one of the top clubs with the 

most expensive players - Man United. Juventus or Barcelona 

being the favourites - and whizz through the entire season. collecting 

a worthwhile honour. When you receive an offer from a 

club you wish to transfer to, exchange two of your best players 

far the worst each week and hopefully when you accept the 

job at the end of the season. a huge bank balance and an 

awesome team will be waiting for you. 

Pinball Fantasies 

Type in these before you 

begin for some strange 

effects: 

Celebrity Golf! 

Score a hole in one with 

our Virgin/Sensible 

Golf competition 

es.. it's great when all 

these celebs get 

together to play a round of golf - and all 

for charidee. But wouldn't it be superb if 

you could choose who you'd want to play 

in a round of four-ball? Well, now that's all you need to 

do for our competition by simply puffing together your 

winning team by either drawing them, cutting them 

out of mags etc. and then stating why - oh, and 

don't forget to dress them in the appropriate gear. 

20 lucky winners will get a copy of the 

brilliant Sensible Golf worth E29.99 

and a Virgin T-shirt

Ishar 

Trilo 

shar 1, 2 and 3 weren't really my most 

favourite games ever - especially 

being a reviewer that detests any sort 

of RPG. All this business of wizards and 

warriors is just too much for me to handle. 

I hese games always seem to inflict the most 

serious effect of boredom ever. If you are one of 

these people, you'd better skip this bit as Daze 

bring out their incredibly adventurous Ishar 

games in one package. Anoraks out everybody! 

I suppose as time has passed. each Ishar 

game has been superseded either in overall 

quality or In a graphical way, and Ishar 3 is 

supposedly the best of the bunch. 

The way !shot actually plays is the most annoying 

factor, with slow, tedious scrolling drudging 

annon Fodder hardly needs on introduction 

as it turned out to be one of 

the best games of the year. It's very 

unlikely that anyone out there hasn't 

actually played it, so I suppose this budget 

release could be. in fact, quite pointless. 

However; after such a high profile release with its 

success. how could it possibly avoid the inevitable 

budget label? 

Cannon Fodder is pure and simply, a war 

game. The objective of war is to win - sparing as 

many casuatties as possible. The idea is to complete 

the mission objectives along with the subphases 

in each scenario. The first is in the jungle 

where you are given five recruits. Each one has a 

rank and to begin with you are given the highest 

ranks to play with. As you lose a soldier he will be 

along only to reveal mammoth beasts that must 

be disposed of rather quickly. This is achieved by 

aimlessly wandering around, going into shops 

and buying magic potions. and recruiting the 

ordinary public to join your gang. You can then 

begin the mission to hold on to your islanct 

Kendoria . 

As mentioned before, the graphics are notting 

very special and the whole game may be 

very in-depth but just doesn't play well, which is 

the most important part. 

If you are a roleplaying game buff then three 

games for the price of one would sound quite 

bargain. Although, for £29.99 you could also buy 

yourself three balaclavas, a pair of horn rimrred 

spectacles, an anorak and a tartan flask. 

The choice is yours. 

The most exciting, in-depth, animated adventure 

game ever. Packed with remarkable gameplay 

and an amazing challenge. Cloh, that's right! 

Cannon 

odder 

replaced by another nervous youngster willing to 

risk his life and limbs for his country. Obviously, 

these young chappies aren't going to be as sharp 

as the rest of the bunch, so the more you can 

keep them in the clear and at distance, the more 

likely they are to survive. 

There are two main strategies to follow on y 

road to victory. These are either hold bock and 

wait for the enemy to make the first move, or me 

less favoured run towards them at a ridiculous 

speed with all guns blazing - destroying yourself 

and a number of the enemy all at once. 

The characters themselves ore controlled by 

The mouse using a point and click method. All t 

weaponry such as cannons, grenades and rock 

ets can be activated using simple clicks on t 

mouse. 

With the typical Sensible Software charade 

tremendous gameplay and a big challe 

Cannon Fodder will always rank alongside the 

greats the Amigo has produced Their rather 

cheeky yet uncompromising quote 'War 

has never been so much fun' is clearly on 

understatement It's more fun than ever!

ome AD92 was released around two or 

three years ago now and adopted the 

Populous-like 3D isometric view which 

actually became quite popular. The 

idea is to control Hector, a Roman slave 

who wants to higher his position in society by 

deception. At the beginning you start as a slave 

with lower status than the cleaners. Stealing a toga 

aft one of the people of authority will deceive 

many of the town's residents. enabling you to 

order people around. 

As the volcano that lies on one side of the town 

is about to explode, getting off the island is a must. 

With so many people and so few boats, fighting for 

an escape route is essential, and this entails mugging 

people for their money and purchasing a 

very sharp dagger. • 

When Rome AD92 first arrived, the humour element 

was instantly recognised. It wasn't a strict 

copy of life In Rome but more of a serious light 

hearted look at life back in Roman times. For a 

start, all the characters are humorously named - 

you ore ordered to send a message to Seganus 

Megadrivus, of all people. 

If you can remember Robin Hood from a while 

bock. it plays just the same, You have freedom of 

the entire city so you don't have to do things in any 

particular order - you can just roam, talking to 

everyone you meet. 

Although the graphics don't boast quality, they 

are reasonable nonetheless and do their Job more 

than adequately. There are six levels to battle 

through, all with fresh challenges, making this not 

eing a loud American in a quiet village 

in China means merging in with the 

common public isn't going to be an 

easy task, Making as many friends as 

possible in this very graphical icon driven 

adventure is on absolute necessity. You are 

given your own identity. character and personality, 

arid unfortunately you hove been graced 

with Joke Masters. or Lucky to your friends - an 

annoyingly loud American with less sensitivity 

than a badger. 

There isn't an actual plot as such - all Is 

revealed as you become more involved in the 

game. This involves plot branches where you can 

reach different parts of the game you may never 

reach again if you restart the game, and picking 

different objects up and speaking to other 

Before going heading off to battle, a 

trip to the herb shop is in order to 

purchase those magical remedies 

Rome 

AD92 

Once you've managed to steal the toga 

from the fat bloke who's always in the 

swimming pool, you can mug everyone! 

so much an essential purchase but a fun game for 

anyone - especially with the humour element. At 

a nice cheap price of £14.99, Rome AD92 

certainly boasts value for money. 

Heal of 

China 

people about other things. This makes Heart of 

China probably the most interactive game 

around - this system is called the Dynamix Game 

Development System (DGDS). 

All the usual adventure icons are present such 

as talking, picking things up, dropping things and 

looking around. However as you progress and 

make friends with people, they will join you 

on your mission objective and you can 

temporarily take over their actions 

and objects. 

There is an enormous amount of 

depth to Heart of China arid the 

animated effects and atmospheric 

tunes are excellent. 

However, there is a down side. 

Most of the progression throughout 

the game Is made by guesswork 

and trial and error. There isn't 

so much as a sniff of clues or hints 

and purely by luck will you end up 

right in the heart of the game. 

Having said that, though. if you have 

got the time to explore the game In great detail, 

it'll certainly be a worthwhile and rewarding 

experience. Heart of China is certainly 

one of the better graphic adventures 

around.

a break from configuration, 

organisation.and cogitation 

0 and his take month a look I've at decided a handy to take 

product that. although it doesn't really 

need a whole page's worth of review, 

deserves some recognition. The item in 

question is Ckisteiner's three button 

400dpi mouse. 

Looking Just like the onginal Mega 

mouse, this one fits nicely into the palm of 

your hand and comes equipped with one 

more than the usual number of buttons. 

But what is the point of having a third 

mouse button? 

For a start there are actually several 

programs that use a third mouse button 

including Directory Opus. Hisoft's 

DiskMagic, and many other directory 

managers. But in addition to these 

programs there are a host of PD and 

shareware utilities that are either 

specifically geared towards using the 

middle mouse button, or have middle 

mouse button functions built into them. 

Some examples that spring to mind 

include our CoverDisk item MultiCX which 

lets you use the middle mouse button to 

cycle screens, which is much easier than 

the left Amiga-m combination or going up 

to the top-right corner of a big screen. 

Most of the other big commodities will 

also have some provision for MMB screen 

cycling or multi-file selection, where 

Instead of having to bold down the shift 

key you use a mouse button. 

Commodities like YAK have so many 

items to configure you could probably do 

with a 23 button mouse! Finally, the 

Gasteiner three button mouse also comes 

with a nice long lead and you cant beat it 

for value at only E 12.95. 

Also groovy this month is the latest 

version of the aforementioned MultiCX. 

Virus alert! 

It doesn't seem like John Veldthuis 

ever sleeps. No sooner have you 

got round to downloading v6.56 ol 

his superb VirusChecker program, 

there's another version out. This 

time it's 6.57 and it's angry. Well, 

possibly not, but if you want to 

ensure that your hard drive is safe 

from even the newest viruses then 

get this. More than anything, this 

release fixes bugs from earlier 

versions but it does cover 49 

different viruses and their relatives.

Amiga Medical Part 9 

and the next program I want to tell you 

about. The next program is actually a 

patch to the ASI.nbrary that comes with 

Workbench 3.0 or 3.1. It won't work if 

you have an older version of Workbench, 

and the authors haven't tested it with a 

processor more humble than a 68020, so 

there's no guarantee it will run on a 

68000-based machine. This patch gives 

added functionality to the three requesters 

ASL provides, namely the standard file 

requester, the fonts requester arid 

screenmode requester. 

Changes are made using the provided 

Mill-based preferences program and you 

can set such things as having the 

requesters centred on your mouse, Me 

active window or screen, or at the top-left 

corner of the active window or screen. 

You can also make sure the file requester 

puts the directories at the top of the file 

list, rather than at the bottom which 

always seemed strange to me. 

Lastly, but not least, a boot utility was 

brought to my attention when trawling 

the net for stuff for a CyberVision card 

The utility in question is designed to show 

a picture instead of that boring black 

screen as Workbench loads. The utility is 

caned Pic Boot and it handled pretty much 

every1FF image I threw at it loading 1024 

x 768 images in the blink of an eye. 

thanks to the accompanying UnPackilBM 

Cool which decompresses 1FF picture files, 

making them load a lot faster. 

PicBoot is equally at home on an ECS 

or AGA machine or on a machine that has 

an IZTO graphics card like the CyberVision 

or Picasso. It will fade in the picture and 

fade it back out once Workbench is 

loaded . C . . q •

The power plug 

the LightWave interface, one 

of the most important 

O elements in the LightWave 

n repertoire is its ability to employ ARPIEK in 

athe 

form of dedicated macros. In the early 

ddays, 

macros were almost entirely Modeler 

doriented, i however the latest generation also 

tprovide i add-on power to Layout in addition 

oto 

the traditional automated modelling 

n tools 

t At the forefront of the new breed is a 

o new collection from Hester and associates. 

tFollowing 

in the footsteps of Power Macros, 

hthe 

new Plug-Ins and Got collection offers a 

e similar, if more basic collection of tools To 

emake 

up for the slight lack of technical merit 

xn 

relation to Power Macros, Plug-Ins and 

cGO 

hit back with 53 macros as opposed to 

ethe 

16 on offer from Power Macros. 

l Perhaps the best way to clarify the 

ldifference 

between the two is that Power 

eMacros 

offer a design special effects

- explode and shatter being

examples - while the Plug-in range 

e offers a more utilitarian approach. 

o Aside from the disk containing the 

fmacros. 

you also receive an excellent 100page 

manual plus a second demo disk 

which highlights the finer points of the 

collection. The quality of presentation is 

generally excellent throughout the package. 

a classic example being the manual placing 

icons alongside each macro description to 

denote as area of expertise - namely, 

creative, modifier, calculation information or

the manual further enhances ease of use 

by following up the basic macro type with a 

list of icons which denotes what they do 

and will need in order to implement the 

chosen macro For example, the macro may 

affect the entire layer or just selected items. 

or perhaps it requires a background layer or 

an empty spare layer. 

usEn-rnitnoty 

Installation is also a breeze, courtesy of a 

direct import of the entire collection via 

models direct command option. Better still, 

once installed the macros are shown in the 

_ _ J 

same order as they appear in the manual - 

fairly simple but nevertheless a very 

welcome user-friendly addition. 

As mentioned earlier, the macros on offer 

break down into a number of specific 

categories Given the available space 

mentioning each in tom is impossible, so 

highlight my personal favourites in each 

category. 

In the auto modelling department the 

top three include Modify to sphere or cube. 

quick convert, and quick move. The first 

option is, in tact. two separate macros, but 

A plug for Plug-Ins 

As mentioned, Layout macros are an important part of any modeler collection. And true 

to loon Plug-Ins does as bit with macros which import entire scenes into modeller, add 

multiple lights to selected points, automate multiple batch rendering of scenes, and of 

Mine the all important targeting of one object to another over an entire arm or a user- 

defined number of frames. 

Overall. the Plug-In collection is excellent, although it does suffer from the odd filler to 

make up the numbers. However, the really useful additions are exactly that Assuming 

you've got to make a choice between Power Macros and Plug-ins. I'd definitely opt for 

the latter. 

Vet 

& 

examples of 

Urn. line r points 

via the 

inwrossivo 

dame disk 

as you'd expect they essentially do the same 

job. However, for anyone looking for means 

of morphing between basic objects arid 

complex structures it's an invaluable 

addition. 

The next modelling must is the invaluable 

quick convert option. Although not as 

immediate as the morphing macro, it does 

offer a means of converting or automatically 

scaling objects from millimetres to metres or 

even kilometres - particularly useful for 

blending elements from existing scenes. 

Quick move is another classic example of 

a utility macro, which moves all the selected 

points in the layer to a new user-specified 

portion. Again not spectacular, but 

nevertheless extremely useful on occasion_ 

Next comes the calculation macros. Here 

you could probably obtain the same 

information with the aid of a little thought 

and a calculator, but why bother if Plug-Ins 

will do the hard work on your behalf. In this 

particular genre my favourites include 

calculate time and calculate render time. 

The former generates the total number of 

frames needed to cover a specific period, 

for example I minute 23 seconds 

translates to 2015 frames. 

Creation tools are the next element in 

the equation, and it must be said the 

weakest link in the Plug-Ins chain. The only 

noteworthy macros are the create 

lightning and create star options, with the 7 

Eformer generating random lightning 

objects for import into layout while the 

latter provides a simple means of 

designing mule-point stars. 

The big disappointment in this section is 

the fact that they repeat many of the basic 

options available via LightWave 5 numeric 

iriput options. 

Special feature macros otter a fairly

unique range of tools including automated 

LightWave configuration, and quick macro 

generation. The first provides a means of 

adjusting the LightWave/Modeler config 

files on-lone, while the second offers a realtime 

macro option which tracks your 

actions and then generates a completely 

new custom macro from them. In addition, 

there's a more involved macro generator 

which allows you to select from blocks 

of pre-set code and build a macro 

step-by-step_ 

Next comes motion control, with 

highlights such as curve to motion and 

motion to curve, which as you've probably 

guessed converts and saves either sketched 

paths or motion files ready rot loading 

directly into either Layout or Modeler - 

again, relatively simple tasks now with 

added automation

n recent instalments I've been 

discussing a number of coding 

approaches involving console device 

control character sequences and by 

last month, these had found their way into a 

program that set up a screen form. This 

allowed data to be entered and collected from 

a set of predefined 'fields' on the screen. I 

drew your attention to the fact that this 

preliminary script used independent statements 

for setting up and collecting data from each 

field (see listing I) and hinted that there is a far 

better approach available. 

The trick, of course, IS to use stem-based 

compound variables to represent field names, 

row and column screen position co-ordinates, 

and lengths of reply fields, and it is this 

arrangement that I want to deal with this 

month. A compound variable data table is 

going to be used to store the values required 

for the CursorWritell, Showlnputfield() and 

CursorRead(' routines of the existing script. 

Listing 2 shows the new data table and thc 

key thong to notice is that the field numbers 

It looking 

good but... 

Despite the improvements with this 

month's script there is, however, still 

one area that provides a potential 

trouble spot. It concerns seine of the 

static definitions used within the 

example code. You'll notice that. 

where procedures (I.e. AFtexx 

functions with their own symbol tables 

and execution environments) are 

being used, some items (for example, 

(SC and all have to be defined in 

more than one place. 

Despite procedural isolation being, 

In the main, a very good thing, the 

fact that 'pseudoonstant definitions, 

which are deliberately intended to be 

global, are blocked and have to be 

redefined within each procedure that 

uses them is unfortunate. As always 

there is a way around this difficulty. 

but I'm afraid you'll have to wait until 

next month to find out what it lit

now form part of the compound variable tails. 

The immediate benefit here is that do/end type 

loops can now be used to perform all forms of 

setting up and data collection operations. For 

example the field names and cleared reply fields 

can now be produced using the code shown in 

listing 3 Because these loop-based routines, 

along with others that you'll find on this months 

example script, can handle any number of field 

items, this means that no matter how complex 

a form definition you decide to use, these 

routines will be able to handle it

At the moment, however, all that happens is 

that a 'dummy save routine gets called and, as 

each record is selected for storage. the form 

data just gets written back to the Shell window 

las a sort of 'visible prompt' to confirm that 

something is happening)! As the entenng of 

each set of information is completed, the script 

will ask if you want to store the current record 

or not, and whether you want to enter further 

data. All these things are achieved with fairly 

mundane use of a CursorWhtel) routine using 

these types of statements:

6 Drakes Mews, Crownhill, 

Milton Keynes. MK8 OER. UK

he other day I saw a posting on CLX 

heralding the 'new A4000T • It was 

attnbuted to Alex Moor's Creative 

Equipment International, an American company 

who'd been involved in the bidding for the 

Amiga before Escom finally snarled it up. 

It was headed 7 July 1995 - FOR IMMEDIATE 

RELEASE - and described how the A4000T 

be positioned as a high-end video workstation.' 

It goes on to describe it as 'a tower-based model 

with the Motorola 68040 processor operating at 

25MHz. Initial configurations are expected to be 

6Mb of RAM and 540Mb hard disk. Introductory 

pricing is set for a street price of US$3499 (El 

will be offering different configurations • 

Furthermore we realize that the price of the 

A4000T is slightly higher than we all would 

have wished. At the same token there is pent up 

market demand 

Now, knock me down with a feather but I 

couldn't help taking this with a very big pinch of 

salt. After all. (El didn't win the bid, but had 

been making big noises that they were 

confident of winning. They've been out of the 

limelight for a while, so a message from (El 

serves, if nothing else, to keep them on the map 

° during these lean times. 

Then came a contradictory message from 

Gilles 13ourdin of Amiga Technologies GmbH in 

Germany, dated I 4 July, which says that as yet 

there have been no firm distnbution contracts or 

agreements signed for Northern America, nor 

have pricing levels been set for the A40001. So 

just what is going on? Did CEI Jump the gun? 

Did they dream this A4000T up themselves? 

TURKEY 

Let's look more closely at the spec No 

monitor or CD-ROM is mentioned: the drive is 

quite small by high-end standards - 6Mb of 

memory isn't even enough to run that TV 

favourite LightWave, and other crucial programs 

such as Art Department Professional, ImagelX2 

and Real 3D are all going to need more rnemory 

for serious TV work. 

On top of that it doesn't say whether the 

A4000T will have any form of video output, so 

an encoder card or good-quality genlockwill be 

required. This A4000T looks like a machine 

which is tailored to run something like Scala 

MM400 rnot that I'm knocking MM400 - it's a 

great application1 and not a 'real' video machine 

after all. 

And then there's the once - USS3499IEven 

loosely translated into 1)01 currency that's around 

E2 190. or [2600 including VAT - and not even 

a monitor thrown in. Couple that with the 

relatively slow lby high-end standards125MHz 

040 processor and the only conclusoon I can 

come up with is that (El have announced a real 

turkey 

A friend of mine has just bought a Pentium 

90 PC costing around E2400. The price includes 

a I Gb drive. 15" multisync monitor, I6Mb RAM, 

sound card, 24-bit graphics card, speakers and a 

quad-speed CD-ROMI And it runs LightWave like 

a dream, knocking off a full overscan, 

annaliased render with refraction and reflection 

in a matter of minutes. In fact, when I phoned 

him he was rendering the textures exam* and 

it took less than three minutes to do the 

business. I can't see a 25MHz '040 even getting 

dose_ 

Okay. his PC will need a few more add-ons to 

11135Et in 

uldealand 

achieve full 

video 

compatibility, but, 

unlike five years ago, 

these extras are becoming 

more and more accessible to PC 

users. There's now a PAR card for the 

PC. and genlocks, video processors, 

framegrabbers and edit controllers are all readily 

available. The A4000T will also need additional 

hardware, which might include a PAR card and 

a framegrabber. A 24-bit card would also be 

very useful, plus all the bells and whistles 

imemory. CD-ROM, monitor, big hard drive, etc1 

which are no longer luxuries for serious video 

producers and animators. 

Now, let's hope that all this is theoretical, and 

that the new A4000T will not only have 

reasonably priced bundle options, but that the 

base machine itself will not make a Pentium PC 

or well•appointed Mac look even more tempting 

than they already do. It's one thing relying on 

the Amiga's video reputation to sell it but 

Escom/Arniga Technologies are going to have to 

come up with something really special to keep 

video folks on their side. 

After all, PC and Mac development continues 

apace while Amiga R&D appears to have 

ground to a halt, developers are still waiting to 

be contacted by 

Amiga Technologies, 

and a new high-end 

Amiga will still only be 

playing catch-up with current 

PC and Mac systems by the time it 

hits the streets - unless some rapid 

behind the scenes developments are 

going on. 

This is not a good state of affairs to 

be in, even if you're the most rabid of Amiga 

supporters. If I was in the market for a 

video/graphics Amiga I'd want one which could 

see off the competition, and at a sensible price. 

I'd want a built-on video output which was at 

least composite, preferably S-VHS or even bothj, 

even for lesser machines such as the Al 200 or 

rumoured A1300. 

Until Amiga Technologies take a good hard 

look at what Amiga users actually require for 

high-end video applications and come up with 

some solutions, I can only conclude that this 

A40001 price and spec certainly isn't going to 

cut it. For all our sakes, let's just hope that CEI's 

message was low on substance and high on 

hype. Only time. and Amiga Technologies, will 

tea.

Nen the versatility of almost all 

synthesizers. you might well imagine 

that it would be quite easy to 

produce drum/percussion accompaniment by 

just selecting suitable drum sound voices. In 

fact, it isn't quite that straightforward because. 

set up in the conventional way, a multi-timbral 

synth would only be able to play one voice 

group setting per channel, So even if you only 

wanted a bass drum, a snare, open and closed 

hi•hats, a couple of tom-toms and a cymbal. 

you'd still use up seven Midi channels and 

a large Clunk of your multi-timbrai 

capabilities. 

The solution to this difficulty was 

solved years ago and involves a slightly 

different arrangement whereby all 

percussion events are sent on just one Midi 

channel with the note value being used to 

indicate which particular drum/percussion 

voice should sound. Now, newer synthesizers 

often have facilities like these built in lusually 

on Midi channel 101 but many older 

instruments will not, and the best thing to do 

in these cases is add a separate 'drum machine' 

• to your Midi set up. 

50PHISTICHTED 5011005 

Drum machines nowadays are quite 

sophisticated and often use sampled (i.e. 

digitised real percussion sounds) as opposed to 

synthesized sounds, and even the pitch and 

volume of indNidual drum's voices may be 

altered Loads of preset rhythm patterns will 

also be provided, many of which will make 

good starting points for creating your own 

percussion tracks. 

When you start a drum machine playing 

you'll not only hear the percussion sounds via 

its audio connections but the unit will be 

transmitting Midi data as it plays. The messages 

transmitted may include start/stop information, 

timing clocks, and the drum-note data itself. Of 

course, the reverse procedure also applies and 

if the drum machine is sent Midi data it will 

fire 111111 mi55ing 

the beat? 

play the 

appropriate percussion voices. 

As far as the recording of percussion tracks is 

concerned, it is much the same as recording 

ordinary synthesizer data. You start the unit 

playing and just record the Midi data 

generated at the Midi Out terminal. There is, 

however, one thing that you do have to bear 

in mind - you must not transpose drum 

channel data Since specific drums and 

percussion instruments are represented by 

particular Midi notes. arty change in these note 

values would change the actual percussion 

voices being played. 

The effect of inadvertently transposing a 

Tricks of the trade 

It is sometimes said that drum machines can produce monotonous drum parts. They can - but 

this is almost always due to how the drum patterns were programmed in the first place. The 

big question what can you do about it and, most of the time, it comes down to attention 

to detail. A common problem is getting the accents right on hi-hat parts. Some accent pads 

have limited capabilities - even though the drum machine may be fully velocity sensitive via 

Midi, In these cases. it's usually best to drive it from a touch sensitive keyboard but you'll find, 

by experimenting, that a lot can also be done by editing the data using your sequencer_ 

Its been recognised for some time that if you take a perfectly quantised drum pattern arid 

marginally alter the position of the snare drum, i e. pull it back or push it forward, then the 

whole 'feel of the pattern can change. You can do this sort of thing quite easily via most 

sequencers simply by recording each drum on a separate track and adjusting the individual 

start positrons. 

As well as altering the feel of a drum pattern track, you can 'thicken up' weak sounding 

drums by taking the drum track lor a part of it), duplicating it onto a second track, shifting it 

along by a small time interval, and playing the resulting tracks simultaneously. Done selectively 

it can be very effective, especially when using hard-left/hard-right stereo panned sound 

outputs. 

All these sorts of tricks come with practice and most users find that, within a few weeks of 

starting to use a drum machine, they are getting excellent results. Yamaha and Roland drum 

machines are available at quite reasonable cost, and with many shops offering second-hand 

units at bargain prices nowadays, it's never been easier to add extra percussion facilities to your 

Midi set up. If you don't believe me, take a walk down to your focal music shop and set what's 

on offer yourselff 

The e ddttion osi a drum ma chine to a n 

Amiga se que ncing sittup 1 lI ope n 

many cre a tive doors tor the musicia n 

drum part wilt on playback, sound disastrous 

- recorded bass drums might turn into 

cymbals. the snare drum might vanish, and the 

overall effect is invariably to make the 

drum/percussion track sound almost 

unrecognisable. Obviously, it is something that 

is easily fixed by re-transposing the data back 

into Its original key ffhus restoring the original 

note values). Some Amiga sequencers hike Dr 

Ts KCS) allow you to 'protect' a specified Midi 

channel from transposition and this is very 

convenient because it allows you to carry out 

all normal transposition operations knowing 

that the note values of the drum/percussion 

data inside your drum tracks will not be 

altered. 

Drum machines land integral synthesizer 

percussion facilities come to that) vary 

enormously in the number of different 

percussion sounds they can provide. 

Unfortunately, poor to General Midi, there was 

little standardisation between different 

manufacturers as far as which note numbers 

represent which drum sounds. The note, 

which on one drum unit plays a crash cymbal, 

could well produce a 'High Bongo' sound 

when sent to another machine. Needless to 

say, this is something which many users just 

have to live with and it really only causes 

major problems of you are using material that is 

either intended for, or created by, someone 

else who is using a different drum machine. 

As far as creating suitable drum patterns is 

concerned, the situation for the beginner is 

very good indeed. Firstly, you'll be able to use 

the rhythm patterns and styles available on the 

percussion unit itself. Secondly, you'll find that 

local music stores will stock a number of books 

which provide details of popular and useful 

drum patterns written in easy-to-understand 

'block notation' style.

know I've argued about this before, 

but 'Net usage is expensive. A lot of 

stupid companies who don't pay for 

their phone bills are rushing onto the Net with 

Web sites and inviting us to send our cash 

down the phone to pay for goods and services. 

No way! Think about It. These admittedly 

brilliant sites I've mentioned here can cost you 

a couple of quid to visit even if you visit them 

at off-peak times It's a pricey business, even 

with all the good deals that phone companies 

are flinging your way these days to get your 

money. 

Obviously, faster modems would be a 

bonus, and for frequent Net access, or if you 

are a 'Net hack like me, then a 28,800 baud or 

even ISDN is a definite good idea. Okay, so you 

shell out mote initially, but the savings in 'Net 

time are enormous. You have to be very careful 

when you get fast Net access though. because 

Ft might mean you spend a bit longer online 

than you should, and you just download 

bigger files IIt's a bit hke real life where your 

expenditure expands to fill and even exceed 

the available budget) 

So to help you enjoy your 'Net life more and 

• avoid those scary phone bills, here is my livepoint 

plan for more efficient Netting • 

WorldCam 

http //www.ovd corn 

One of the most interesting things 

about the Net is its Netearns, that 

is to say video cameras which 

relay almost live into from their 

location to you via the Web The 

most impressive collection of 

these cams is WorldCam. 

WorldCam has also compiled a list 

of the best Cams from around 

the world, including The 

Fakon Cam at Calgary 

University. The Incredible FrshCam 

la fish tank). FogCam and the 

amazing wearable WebCam - a 

camera attached to someone who 

has a wearable Net-based 

computer so you see what they 

are doing 

Batman Forever 

http.//vvviAiv batmanforevercom/ 

The web site for the new Batman 

film, out now, and very tab it is 

too The site has pictures, sounds 

pre via Real Audio if you have a 

PC-based 'Net program running 

On your Empl,mtl and moms for 

you to watch. It also has some 

very nice Knot. tricks, like 

animated logos. 

lief 

net 1055 

- 

I. Get the fastest modem you can buy, beg or 

steal. The more rapid transfer rate between you 

and the host machine will mean faster access to 

p Z. On-line so much people can't get you on the 

phone? Get another phone line for your 'Net 

access or better yet, get a beeper like the one I 

have the Mototota Lifestyle Plus It costs E80 

r 

and after that there is no charge. People pay 

just 20p a time when they dial up a premium 

rate line and tap in their phone number. It's cool 

gadget too, and makes people on trains think 

you are a doctor. 

3. Use a stopwatch. When you log on start the 

timer and keep looking at it Try to limit your 

oNet

recent filmage For example 

Goldeneye, the new Bond Film, 

At the time of writing there 

weren't any pictures. but there 

was a sneak preview. Presumably 

this is because the film is in 

production and it needs more 

doing to it before you can really 

get a look at any sets Of anything. 

Nso, there are details about 

Species, which rs a new spooky 

film with bags of special effects 

about a new type of human. 

which of course goes haywire 

and kills everyone, in the grand

Vista Pictures site has now moved 

to the Disney site, It used to be 

Out On as own but it's been 

browsing to half an hour a day, especially if 

you're logging on before 6pm. 

4. Save frequently_ Save the text of pages if 

there's a lot to read, either as text or HTML. Read 

offline as often as possible. It's easy to forget 

you are connected to the phone when you are 

reading something interesting. 

S. Do what you've got to do and get out of 

there Its easy to roam around the Web when 

you are bored, and it's just as easy to not really 

have any aim in mind. The Web rs a tool, and 

okay, its quite good fun too, but it should be 

used carefully. So don't just wander around the 

Net burning up cash. Look for something, find 

note any interesting LIRLs on the way, but get 

out quick.

Plcome back. Let's hope you have 

the rest of the program typed in by 

now, as we are going to give you 

the rest of the Screen Info program by Graham 

Moody. All set? Right let's get going. 

As we said last month this is a screen into 

program which loads a screen and gives you 

info about it The author describes its usage 

thus: 

'Here is a routine that will give you information 

on the current screen, from the screen number 

to the amount of memory the screen is using. 

There are two modes of operation. 

illt _SCREE/LIM/11

returned from the procedure in a string.

n with the latest update l3:0h11 

received this morning. I got the 

four new add-ons for PageStrearn. 

They are: Gary's Effects, a Jpeg filter, a 

Wordworth filter. and a font engine for 

TrueType fonts. These additional filters can 

be bought now from SoftLogik themselves 

for between $20 and $25, so get your credit 

card ready, 

Gary's Effects come on a single disk for 

installation into BME 2.0. They are a series of 

Effects modules that get added to BME's 

Effects menu and give you some of the more 

common operations required for desktop 

publishing. These include, but are not 

limited to, a user-editable convolution 

matrix, gamma correction, a histogram 

graph display 'which cannot be edited', 

control over hue and saturation and other 

such effects. 

It's a bit disappointing that there are none 

of the really useful DTP-oriented operators 

such as unsharp masking, or that most of 

the operators don't seem to work in a 

predictable fashion when applied to pictures 

in CMYK format. I can only hope that Gary's 

Effects evolves into something more like Kai's 

Power Tools over a period of time: Still, 

thanks to the new Jpeg filter, at least you 

can save pictures out from BME as Jpegs. 

amity RHIN 

There isn't very much to say about the 

Jpeg filter for PageStream. It does what it is 

supposed to and offers you a quality setting 

slider, but really talking about it is going to 

sound like one of those Ronseal product 

ads on the telly: So if you want a filter and 

you want it to be Jpeg, then get the Jpeg 

filter. It does exactly what it says in the 

doc s • 

Moving on to the third item in our add-on 

collection - the TrueType font engine. Again. 

there isn't very much to say about this plug 

in It allows you to use TrueType fonts in 

PageStream transparently, without needing 

to first convert them into Postscript format 

This opens the vast vista of CD-ROMs made 

for people with PCs and Windows (which

t h r e s h o l d 

Plug in and print 

uses TrueTypesl. SoftLogik say in the 

documentation accompanying the add-on that 

the speed and quality of TrueTypes in 

PageStream is roughly equivalent to Postscript 

fonts. The only thing that would have been 

nice to see would have been PageStream 

taking advantage of some of those WinPrinters 

- printers optimised for Windows' use by 

having TrueTypes builtan• I'm not sure if this is 

actually feasible given the printing system in 

PageStream, so I don I suppose it's all that 

important. 

The last add-on seems to be a little 

underdeveloped. Although the WordWorth 

filter will import your WordWorth documents. 

it will only do so under fairly strict conditions. 

Because PageStream has no Text Effects or 

Tables feature, it won't be able to load in any 

of those nice layouts you have created in 

WordWorth using these features. PageSueam 

is also unable to load CGM graphics files like 

those used by WordWorth. so that option is 

right out too. PageStream's hyphenation 

method differs from WordWorth's so you 

might have problems there too, although not 

necessarily. 

Finally, there are two further problems that 

would appear to be in the process of being 

sorted out. The first is a problem with extreme 

type sues and the 'Loose' leading method 

and the other is a problem with picture 

aspect ratios. All in all, it doesn't sound as 

though the WordWorth filter is going to be 

much use for anything but the simplest 

layouts and as such. perhaps it should have 

been included with PageStream for nothing. 

or they should have at least waited until you 

could do a bit more with it, 

PapStrpam 010g1T55 

After having spent some time with PageStream 3.0h_ I can definitely say that SoftLogik are 

pushing forward at a rapid rate towards a finished product Typing speed in the new version is 

vastly improved, particularly in long articles, although SoftLogik say it is still not as fast as they 

would like for v3.1. Also, you can now quit from the editors without them locking up 

PageStream at lasd I can't remember the number of times I hit Amiga S. Amiga 0 out of sheer 

habit': In addition, external graphics have finally been implemented and you can now revert to 

saved. 

Owners of nonPostscript printers should be pleased that printing has been sped up and that 

memory is no longer as important when it comes to printing Hyphenation, both soft and 

automatic, has now been incorporated and, at last, your cursor accurately represents where in a 

text article you are BME also gains two new effects - Emboss and Sharpen_ 

However, some of the more annoying niggles like PageStream's inability to copy, duplicate or 

transform a text box have still not been resolved, neither should you expect PageStream to be 

able to do colour separations for EPS files Of printing lone aspect which must surely limit 

PageStream's appeal for serious use. Perhaps this ought to be attended to before anything else'. 

Finally, in the readme file they mention release dates for both a Mac and Windows version of 

PageStream and promise full cross-platform compatibility, so lets hope that a) this doesn't mean 

that Amiga development slows down and b) Amiga users will finally have a hope of going to a 

printer with a PageStream file and not get laughed at
