Editorial<br />
This is the fi rst issue with our monthly CD-ROM<br />
..attached (for those who purchased the CD issue that is). And boy do<br />
we have some treats in store for you on forthcoming CDs. On both<br />
CD and floppy disk this issue there is a superb utility: XCAD 2000.<br />
Those who remember our cover mounted XCAD Designer two years<br />
ago, will just love this. On the games side of things check out the<br />
demo of Blobz, it really is a cracking little game. If you're a fan of<br />
Lemmings then you're on to a good thing. It's reviewed on page 38.<br />
The feature this month, about connecting your <strong>Amiga</strong> to the<br />
Psion Series 3 and Siena could prove fortuitous with Christmas<br />
approaching. We're big fans of these little computers here in <strong>CU</strong><br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>land and if you don't already have one then check them out now. Of course the big bonus<br />
is connecting them to your <strong>Amiga</strong>. Write documents on the move and then download them to<br />
Final Writer or whatever your lave word processor is.<br />
Our cover story this month is the long awaited Chaos Engine 2. We thought it might be ready<br />
for review but in the end, although it was nearly there, there were a few minor alterations to be<br />
made so instead we were given unprecendented exclusive access to the game to test each level<br />
and get a feel for the gameplay. And it looks impressive. See the feature on page 34.<br />
This is my final month at the helm of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine. I am moving off to another project<br />
so by the time you read the next issue there will be a replacement face grinning away at you from<br />
the top left hand corner of this box. Who will it be? Can't say, but rest assured whoever it is will<br />
maintain the high standards <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />
sets as the most innovative and exciting <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
magazine in the business. It has been an exciting<br />
two and a half years in the editor's seat and<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> has seen many changes during it.<br />
Like everything it needs the boost of new technology<br />
to survive long term, and hopefully this<br />
will happen sooner rather than later. <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine will keep you informed of events as<br />
they happen. Goodbye and thanks for everything.<br />

20•Psion palmtops Et the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
The Psion palmtop computer<br />
could bring portable<br />
computing to the <strong>Amiga</strong> at<br />
last. Like the <strong>Amiga</strong>, the<br />
Psion also has a superb<br />
multitasking operating<br />
system and<br />
makes an excellent<br />
portable buddy to<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong>. We<br />
look into the<br />
Psion's capabilities<br />
and the<br />
superb shareware<br />
software package<br />
for connecting the<br />
Psion palmtops to<br />
your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

Getting started<br />
OK then, cards on the table: XCAD 2000 uses a<br />
bit of a quirky interface. While most of it is controlled<br />
in the normal way from pull down menus<br />
and windows it also has a command line 'console'<br />
at the bottom of the screen. This can be<br />
used to enter commands directly from the keyboard,<br />
although you don't have to use it it all.<br />
You'll notice when you make menu selections that<br />
commands appear in this box. One way of learning<br />
the command line short cuts is to keep an eye<br />
on it while you make your menu selections.<br />
The other thing to note is that after you've<br />
made your initial menu selection you'll often be<br />
faced with a customised sub-menu. These can be<br />
different depending on which selection you have<br />
made. Sometimes these will also have their own<br />
sub-menus for further selections. Generally clicking<br />
on Return or Action from these menus will confirm<br />
your selection or continue to the next menu. Where<br />
a value needs to be selected you'll be presented<br />
with a small calculator-style pad. Certain selections<br />
require you to first select a parameter then its value,<br />
followed by any other parameters that are needed. For<br />
example, to alter the rotation of the viewpoint, you<br />
could select X, then the amount of rotation for the X<br />
axis, then do the same for any rotation you might<br />
require around the other axes.<br />

Demo drawing<br />
To load the demo drawing, first<br />
start up the 3D version of XCAD<br />
2000. There are a number of<br />
icons you can use to start up the<br />
program. Each one will launch<br />
either the 2D or 3D version in<br />
one of a number of screen<br />
mods, as indicated by the text<br />
labels_ Lower resolutions with<br />
fewer colours require less memory<br />
to run. Select one of the 3D<br />
icons. Now you can open the<br />
demo drawing. Select Open<br />
Drawing from the File menu then<br />
click on Return. This will bring up<br />
a file requester, in which you<br />
should see a drawer called 3D<br />
and a file called Oxford-model.<br />
xdr. Click on the 3D drawer and<br />
then select the Oxford-2000 file.<br />
You won't see anything<br />
yet, as the program doesn't

Before you can use XCAD 2000 you need to install it to your<br />
hard drive. To do this, boot efrom your hard drive as usual and<br />
insert the XCAD cover disk. Double click the XCAD disk icon<br />
and you'll see another icon marked Extract XCAD. Double<br />
click this to start the installation. A file requester will appear<br />
asking you to select your chosen destination for the program.<br />
Select the destination and click on OK. An XCAD drawer will<br />
automatically be created and the program will be extracted<br />
to your hard drive.<br />
Once the installation is done you can go ahead and run the<br />
program straight away from your hard drive. You can choose<br />
to start the program in a rnumber of screen modes and colour<br />
depths by clicking on one of a few alternative XCAD icons.<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP<br />
Disk number 145<br />
As a complement to our Psion-<strong>Amiga</strong> feature in this issue<br />
we've included the software required to link the two together.<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP can be found on cover disk 145 (the Blobs<br />
disk). First of all you need to extract the archive to RAM: or<br />
any other device, such as your hard drive. Once this archive<br />
has been extracted you can then run the proper installation<br />
program from the extracted drawer. This will install the program<br />
on your system. For more information on using<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP see the documentation in the archive and also<br />
check out the Psion-<strong>Amiga</strong> feature on page 20 of this issue.<br />

Disk number 145: Blobz is a<br />
top little game, reviewed on page<br />
38 of this very issue. So you'll be<br />
wanting to play the demo then.<br />
Blob<br />
mEE-- e pIu<br />
10.910<br />
Blobz is archived onto disk 145<br />
so it needs to be uncompressed<br />
onto two separate floppy disks.<br />
To do so you'll need to load<br />
Workbench first. If you are<br />
working from a floppy version<br />
of Workbench make sure to<br />
write protect it first and, as<br />
usual, always write protect<br />
your cover disk. Once<br />
Workbench is loaded insert<br />
disk 145 and double click it<br />
with your left mouse button. Three icons will<br />
appear. The first two dearchive Blobz disks 1 and 2, the third one is<br />
for <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP and details for it are given opposite. To dearchive the<br />
first Blobz disk double click the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Diskl icon. If<br />
you have a hard drive a message will appear telling you that it is<br />
copying the disk to RAM. If you are operating from floppy disk you<br />
will have to swop disk 145 with your Workbench disk twice before<br />
this message appears. When a screen appears asking you to insert a<br />
blank formatted disk, do so and press return, Once Blobz disk 1 has<br />
been created (the screen returns to the Disk 145 icon and all disk<br />
activity ceases), remove the new disk and re-insert disk 145, then<br />
repeat the procedure for the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Disk2 icon. The<br />
new Blobz demo disk 1 is autobooting. so restart your <strong>Amiga</strong> with it<br />
in DM: and then change to disk two when requested.<br />
How to play<br />
Blobz is based on Lemmings, and like that pillar of society you have<br />
to prevent a load of little creatures (in this case Blobz) from falling<br />
over the edge of platforms, getting them to the transporter at the<br />
other end of the level. Some transporters have to be activated by<br />
picking up diamonds.<br />
- screen Others on each level will give you<br />
wspecific i l Instructions l on what you<br />
have to do. Blobz is mouse con-<br />

ECTS<br />
But Guildhall signs important deals<br />
Ithough it was one of<br />
the biggest trade<br />
shows in recent history,<br />
the ECTS (European<br />
Computer Trade Show) had very<br />
little to show for itself on <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
Despite millions of pounds being<br />
spent on stands by the likes of<br />
Virgin and Acclaim it was only<br />
among the smaller nooks and<br />
crannies that <strong>Amiga</strong> titles appeared,<br />
the main point of contact<br />
being the Guildhall leisure stand.<br />
Guildhall were displaying the 10<br />
out of 10 range of educational<br />
software along with new titles<br />
from Audiogenic such as Brian<br />
Lara Cricket '96. They were also<br />
investigating the distribution of a<br />
A Guildhall leisnre were flyieg the <strong>Amiga</strong> liag with<br />
products tram 10 Out oilS,Audiegenic arid more.<br />
A Ian Jenkins ham Pliny Blinate was anvil,<br />
ell PO at HIS.<br />
ops for <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
range of games from a Polish<br />
company called Mirage Software -<br />
not to be confused with the UK<br />
based Mirage, developers of Rise<br />
Of The Robots and other titles.<br />
More news from Guildhall concerned<br />
the licencing of the rights<br />
to MicroProse and Codemasters'<br />
one back catalogues of games, to<br />
resell as budget titles. The<br />
Microprose deal is, according to<br />
Guildhall's Managing Director,<br />
Giles Hunter, "very close to completion",<br />
while the Codemasters<br />
one should be sorted out by mid<br />
October. Hunters' ultimate aim<br />
is to release a complete back<br />
catalogue of games at attractive<br />
prices from these publishers in<br />
time for Christmas. They are also<br />
talking to-other publishers with a<br />
view to similar deals, so the<br />
shops should be filling up with<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> games again soon.<br />
Other <strong>Amiga</strong> games being<br />
promoted at the show were<br />
Chaos Engine 2 (once again on<br />
the Warner stand - and our cover<br />
story this month), XP8 and<br />
Ruffian. The latter was originally<br />
reviewed last year and was due<br />
for release at the time by<br />
Grandslam, who, at the last<br />
moment, dropped the title. The<br />
programmers have now decided<br />
to go ahead with distributing and<br />
publishing the game themselves,<br />
having tweaked the product a little<br />
( it is re-reviewed on page 41),<br />
Andy Davidson, fresh from<br />
being interviewed for The Times<br />
computer supplement, Interface.<br />
was at the show telling everyone<br />
that the PC is crap and the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
rules. In fact he was adamant that<br />
Worms AGA (previewed exclusively<br />
in <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />
September 1996) is going to be<br />
on time and absolutely fantastic.<br />
More news on this (and the Alan<br />
Dykes revenge worm he is planning<br />
to include in the game) in the<br />
coming months.<br />
The ECTS has in the past been<br />
a showcase for <strong>Amiga</strong> software<br />
along with every other computer<br />
and console format under the<br />
sun. Traditionally held in both<br />
Spring and Autumn in 1997 it<br />
seems likely that the Spring show<br />
will be cancelled to make way for<br />
a much bigger annual show in the<br />
Autumn. If this is the case both<br />
hardware and software developers<br />
have a full year to get the themselves<br />
together to put on a better<br />
show than they did (apart from<br />
stalwarts Guildhall) this year.<br />

A Gratniteus babes photo alert. [ides Tomb Raider models attracted a lot of attention and probably cast<br />
lot of nioney). but we wanted to know why it won't be available ter <strong>Amiga</strong>,
PIOS Proceeds Down Different Path<br />
John Smith of RIOS cleared u:<br />
the situation regarding their<br />
clone computer recently,<br />
announcing that it would indeed<br />
be a Macintosh clone, based<br />
around the PowerPC chip and<br />
Mac OS 7.5.3_ As far as the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> is concerned, and as their<br />
Web site indicates, PIGS are having<br />
problems communicating<br />
with VIScorp over licencing the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> OS (the buyout, re-scheduled<br />
to have been completed on<br />
September 18th is still not being<br />
confirmed at the time of going to<br />
press). As a result they have<br />
gone for a new project called<br />
PIGS 1', which will not be based<br />
on <strong>Amiga</strong> OS, but on a different<br />
OS called Be0S, which is being<br />
developed with the aid of ex-<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong> engineer Dave<br />
Hanle, This system is not compatible<br />
with <strong>Amiga</strong> but is, in the<br />
words of Mr Smith in the spirit<br />
of <strong>Amiga</strong>" and is "the fastest way<br />
to progress under the current circumstances."<br />
PIOS needs to get<br />
a machine on the market as soon<br />
as possible. and waiting for<br />
VIScorp to sanction a new OS<br />
and get licencing arrangements<br />
set up will delay this too long.<br />
PIGS were present at the<br />
ECTS in an attempt to drum up<br />
support from software publishers<br />
for their project, but were unwilling<br />
to comment on their success<br />
apart from saying "some <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
developers have expressed an<br />
interest, but we can't say more<br />
than that."<br />
Mirage of PoIan<br />
Mirage Software from Warsaw, in<br />
Poland have never had an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
game published in the UK, but<br />
their Sales Manager, Lech<br />
Buszczynski, claims that they<br />
have literally dozens of <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
titles available. There's one problem<br />
however: they're all in Polish!<br />
(As in the language not stuff you<br />
put on your shoes.)<br />
We previewed Super<br />
Taekwondo Master and Rock Srar<br />
two months ago, and they've now<br />
sent us even more as yet unpublished<br />
titles, with interesting<br />
names like: Mortal Weapon,<br />
CyberForce, Pinball Hazard, Dan<br />
Wilder, Gate 2 Freedom. Domain.<br />
Juraiski, Rooster and Project<br />
Battlefield. Not all of these are of<br />
full price quality but some like the<br />
aforementioned Super Taekwondo<br />
Master, Pinball Hazard and the<br />
Doom Clone, Project battlefield,<br />
show some promise. Guildhall<br />
showed some interest in the<br />
games at ECTS, although Mirage<br />
may have to get some more reliably<br />
translated before a UK distributor<br />
takes them on. They<br />
might also have to adopt a flexible<br />
approach to their company<br />
title, as the UK firm of the same<br />
name are likely to object,<br />
Direct To Your Door<br />
A new company has set up with<br />
the aim of a two pronged attack<br />
on the <strong>Amiga</strong> market: in retail and<br />
in software publishing.<br />
Direct Software's shop, based in<br />
Northampton, originally stocked all<br />
platforms, however as <strong>Amiga</strong> sales<br />
far outnumbered other formats they<br />
are now an <strong>Amiga</strong>-only shop.<br />
Convinced of the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s long term<br />
success, <strong>Amiga</strong> Director, Steven<br />
Flowers said: "We do not tolerate<br />
any discussion on the late of the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>', there is no fate, only a<br />
future for this machine".<br />
Cut price CD-ROMs<br />
Fred Fish, grandfather of freely<br />
redistributable software on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>. is cutting prices on <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
CD-ROMs. The budget line of 'CD<br />
Sensations' from Schatztruhe are<br />
available for USS12 each and the<br />
newest Aminet Set 3 is only<br />
USS536. Virtually all <strong>Amiga</strong> products<br />
have been discounted.<br />
Cronus, the company that grew<br />
out of Fred Fish's <strong>Amiga</strong> Library<br />
Services, publishes original <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
titles and acts as the distributor for<br />
GTI of Germany. Cronus can be<br />
reached at +602-491-0442 voice,<br />
+602-491-0048 fax, or http://<br />
www.ninemoons_com online.<br />
Myst fake aftermath<br />
Spurred on by the amount of supportive<br />
response they have<br />
received Myst's creators, Cyan,<br />
have begun considering the realities<br />
of implementing and publishing<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Myst_ So far, no<br />
commitments have been made.<br />
However, Cyan representatives<br />
have discussed the <strong>Amiga</strong> and the<br />
potentials of Myst with both<br />
VIScorp and <strong>Amiga</strong> game developers<br />
in the US and Europe.<br />
Cheap memory for A3000s<br />
The A3000 is regarded by many<br />
as <strong>Commodore</strong>'s best <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
hardware design. One of the<br />
drawbacks to the machine for<br />
the modern user is its memory<br />
system. At the time it was developed,<br />
SIMMs were not the industry<br />
standard they are today, and<br />
as such <strong>Commodore</strong> chose a different<br />
memory system using<br />
now-scarce ZIP chips.<br />
Keith Siders of ProvTech, an<br />
American <strong>Amiga</strong> hardware company,<br />
has found a solution. The<br />
AmiFAST 3000 card replaces the<br />
ZIPs in your A3000 and gives you<br />
up to four SIMM slots to expand<br />
Their new game, Haunted, which<br />
is in the early stages of development<br />
(see screenshot below) will be<br />
a murder mystery affair. We should<br />
have a preview very soon.<br />
S t a t e s i d e By Jason Compton<br />
your machine to up to 16Mb of<br />
Fast RAM. The card is available<br />
as a finished product, a kit, or a<br />
bare PCB - the latter two options<br />
are less expensive, but only recommended<br />
for hardware enthusiasts<br />
who enjoy building their<br />
own projects.<br />
The AmiFAST is already<br />
shipping in early order quantities<br />
and a fully-decked out AmiFAST<br />
board (with 16Mb of memory<br />

AudioLab<br />
Maurizio Ciccione's AudioLab 16<br />
is now available in a new version,<br />
written specifically for Petsoff's<br />
new Delfina DSP sound card<br />
(reviewed this issue). Rated at an<br />
impressive 84% in the August 96<br />

AudioLab 16 is a multi purpose<br />
sound processing tool and hard<br />
drive audio sequencer with an<br />
emphasis on professional quality<br />
Turkish American<br />
Revolution Sim<br />
Unlikely though it may seem, an<br />
American Revolution sim has<br />
arrived on our desk from <strong>Is</strong>tanbul,<br />
Turkey. It is a turn based game<br />
where you take over command of<br />
either British troops trying to resist<br />
the rebellion, Colonial troops trying<br />
to create it. German mercenaries<br />
helping the British or the French,<br />
who are trying to manipulate<br />
Britain's disadvantage to their benefit<br />
by helping the colonials. It's<br />
neatly put together and you can<br />
visit most of the towns, cities and<br />
settlements on the east coast of<br />
Her Majesty's Colonies and fight<br />
histronic battles.<br />
There is a rolling demo of the<br />
game on our CD-ROM this month.<br />
For details of how to get hold of<br />
the game contact the developer<br />
Murad Omay direct by fax in Turkey<br />
on +90 (2121259 07 91.<br />

Power at a low price<br />
Hi0 have announced a special<br />
low price edition of their Power<br />
Station, the all in one solution for<br />
adding peripherals to your <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Al200 without actually ripping its<br />
guts out and sticking the motherboard<br />
into a tower system. This<br />
version of the Power Station<br />
comes complete with an 8speed<br />
SCSI CD-ROM drive, 200<br />
watt power supply with plenty of<br />
HD points and a HISoft Surf<br />
Squirrel] as standard, giving fast<br />
serial as well as SCSI II capability.<br />
The price? E329.95. Various<br />
options are also available. HiCi<br />
are on 01525 211327.<br />
for Delfina<br />
results. It's the perfect companion<br />
for De'fine, reviewed on page<br />
50 of this issue, AudioLab's<br />
effects processing can now be<br />
carried out much faster and with<br />
higher bandwidth with De!fine's<br />
24 bit DSP chip, while 16-bit<br />
input and output should ensure<br />
the quality of the end results.<br />
We'll take a closer look at the<br />
Delfina/AudioLab combination<br />
very soon. AudioLab 16 is available<br />
from Maurizio Ciccione,<br />
Neghelli 9, Alessi° (SV) 17021,<br />

WI<br />
there's not going to be a true<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> portable, notebook or<br />
whatever any time soon. Much<br />
W e're as it going might to be have handy to to admit it —<br />
have such a light weight <strong>Amiga</strong>, its<br />
custom chip-set technology doesn't<br />
lend itself to a low power <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
The PAWs machines might be<br />
more accurately called lugables'<br />
rather than true portables.<br />
That's not to say there isn't a<br />
way to work on the move. It's just<br />
that such a solution'would haveto<br />
be based around a machine<br />
that is truly portable and this<br />
machine then needs to be<br />
linked to the <strong>Amiga</strong> in some<br />
way. The expensive option<br />
is to use a PC notebook and<br />
link it to the <strong>Amiga</strong> to share<br />
the data. A better option<br />
that's both a hell of a lot cheaper<br />
and a lot smaller than even a<br />
notebook comes in the form of<br />
the British developed Psion<br />
palmtop computer,<br />
Inexpensive<br />
It might seem odd that we'd<br />
be covering another computer<br />
platform in <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> but<br />
in this case the Psion can be<br />
a very useful thing when<br />
coupled with the <strong>Amiga</strong>. The<br />
tiny Psion3, 3a and 3c and Siena models<br />
are also relatively inexpensive and like<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> have multitasking operating<br />
system built-in.<br />
This palmtop description isn't an exaggeration<br />
either, these units fit into a pocket<br />
and run for many hours off a set of two<br />
AA batteries. Often called 'organisers'<br />
which sadly understates the worth of<br />
these machines, the Psions<br />
have built-in networking<br />
capability and a serial<br />
port. Couple this with<br />
the PC serial cable and<br />
some superb shareware<br />
software on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> and we<br />
have more<br />
than just a<br />
tenuous link, the PSiOrt can be made a part<br />
of your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
Psions have some built in software<br />
such as a spreadsheet/ database, word<br />
processor, spell checker/ thesaurus,<br />
agenda/ organiser, alarm clock, world<br />
time, calculator and even a nice little<br />
Patience card game. And it's got a built in<br />
sampler too. These packages aren't limit-<br />

The Psion Palmtop range<br />
Psion recently announced two new palmtops in their<br />
range which should be available by the time you read<br />
this. The Psion 3c is a slightly enhanced 3a model<br />
with faster communications (57600 baud versus<br />
19200) and infra-red capability. The infra-red function<br />
allows 3cs and Sienas to 'beam' data between<br />
each other. At the time of writing, Psion were continuing<br />
with the policy of shipping the cable only with<br />
the expensive link software. Psion suppliers Clove<br />
may be able to advice on a cheaper solution that<br />
doesn't involve the expense of the PC software. The<br />
3a's cable has a line driver making it more expensive.<br />
The Siena is the really new baby, however. This cut<br />
down 3a is considerably cheaper and smaller. The<br />
screen is half the size of the 3a — the other half of<br />
the lid is occupied by a numeric keypad. The main<br />
keyboard itself is smaller too. It still has the basic<br />
suite of powerful software and facilities though,<br />
despite its reduced price and the fact that it looks<br />
like a more traditional 'organiser'. Unfortunately<br />
because of the reduced screen size, it's very likely<br />
that much of the existing Psion shareware software<br />
won't work. While this isn't as impressive as the big- L_<br />
ger models (not that any of them could be described<br />
as 'big') it does offer an even better value option for<br />
those who lust want the word processor and organiser<br />
features. It's a shame it doesn't have the brilliant<br />
3a/c spell checker though.<br />
Unlike the 3a, the Siena doesn't have any slots for<br />
static RAM and flash RAM cards. These would normally be used as drives<br />
to store data and such forth but since the intention is to connect the<br />
machine to your <strong>Amiga</strong>, storage and the lack of the card slots isn't a serious<br />
problem. There is an add-on unit which adds an external slot if this<br />
capability is necessary. It's likely that commercial software which will<br />
work on the Siena in the future will be provided on PC MS-DOS floppy<br />
disks where as for the 3a, special ROM cards were used. Even with no<br />
2Mb version, the Siena packs a punch in an even smaller package.<br />
ed to use only on the Psion, the data created<br />
by them can be accessed on the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
Especially useful in the case of the<br />
word processor.<br />
Psion shareware<br />
Psion software isn't limited to the<br />
standard provided packages, it<br />
also has its own shareware<br />
scene which means you can<br />
obtain software for the Psion<br />
(usually off the Internet and<br />
load it on via the serial cable.<br />
I've got quite a bit of software<br />
loaded onto my 2Mb Psion<br />
including a map/guide to<br />
London, PsionMan MCP clone,<br />
terminal package. 3D tank<br />
game, Boulderdash clone, off<br />
tine Web browser, sample<br />
editor and more.<br />
Given that the Psion can do<br />
all of that and on the move,<br />
how do we use it with the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>? Well you need a<br />
package called <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP.<br />
This is a full networking<br />
package for the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
which works rather like<br />
Pamet. With Parnet you<br />
reference a remote<br />
device by prefixing is<br />
name with NET:. To look<br />
r<br />
-<br />
A<br />
kriena<br />
in RAM: on the other machine you examine<br />
NET:RAM/ instead. <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP is exactly<br />
the same except the device is NCP:.<br />
The filesystem on the Psion is based<br />
on MS-DOS which means it's limited to<br />
8.3 filenames. Its drives also look like<br />
MS-DOS with single letter designations.<br />
A. and B: are the RAM/ROM card slots<br />
(yes the Psion has two), while M: is the<br />
internal memory, like a RAM: drive in the<br />
Psion's battery backed internal memory_<br />
this is where all le applications and data<br />
are stored that aren't present in its ROM.<br />
Up and running<br />
Installing <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP is quite easy via the<br />
installer script provided but there is a file<br />
• I<br />
— •<br />
e File menu<br />
called NCPconfig which will<br />
need to be configured by<br />
hand. Type the following lines<br />
into the <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS shell;<br />
SetENV NCP.config<br />
"DEVICE.serial.device<br />
UNIT-0 BAUD•19200"<br />
then;<br />
Copy ENV:NCP.config ENVARC:<br />
Change the number after BAUD to<br />
9600 if you have a Psion 3 and not a 3a,<br />
3c or Siena. All you need to do now is<br />
plug in the cable to the <strong>Amiga</strong> and the<br />
Psion and run the software. You run it by<br />
clicking on <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP-FileServer or<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP-FileSystem. Use the first to<br />
allow the Psion to access your <strong>Amiga</strong> and<br />
the second to access the Psion from your<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>. Note that the link cable has nice<br />
25 and 9 pin connectors on the end.<br />
superb for the Surf Squirrel. Plug it in to<br />
the Surf Squirrel and alter the DEVICE to<br />
squirrel serial.device.<br />
Don't feel tempted to change the baud<br />
rate to higher than 19200 unless you're<br />
the lucky owner of Psion's latest '3t' or<br />
'Siena' which can handle up<br />
to 57600 baud. Once the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> side is sorted out,<br />
you'll have to select Remote<br />
Link from the Psion's<br />
'Special' menu. Toggle the<br />
remote link to On and<br />
change the baud rate to the<br />
maximum allowed which<br />
should match the value in<br />
NCPconfig. A warning with<br />
the link cable and the 3/3a,<br />
the Psion powers the line driver (the box<br />
in the middle of the cable) and so battery<br />
life is reduced when in use.<br />
<strong>Is</strong> all in order?<br />
To test it's all working, get a directory of<br />
NCP: as there should be an icon called<br />
Psion on your Workbench, You can also<br />
use the Shell or a directory utility such as<br />
Directory Opus. In the NCP: drive you<br />
should see all the Psion's drives listed.<br />
Enter the M/ drawer and you see the<br />
directories in the Psion's main backup<br />
memory, You can copy files to and from<br />
your <strong>Amiga</strong> and Psion with ease. This is<br />
Open As for other typhcations, you can use it to open snodiu<br />

in fact how you install Psion software<br />
obtained on disk or from this month's<br />
massive archive of Psion software on the<br />
covermounted CD.<br />
Now to test the Psion side of<br />
it, enter the Word application.<br />
Type some text and then<br />
choose Save As from the<br />
menu. Cursor down in the file<br />
requester to Disk. Cursor<br />
right through this until REM::<br />
appears. You'll be able to<br />
move through your <strong>Amiga</strong> drives<br />
like this. Once the drive<br />
is chosen cursor down to the<br />
filetype and change it to text, fill in a file<br />
name and save. Bang, the ASCII file will<br />
appear on your <strong>Amiga</strong> on the chosen<br />
drive. Nifty Or what?<br />
Psion <strong>Amiga</strong> Shell<br />
There's another trick which can be performed<br />
with the Psion and a link cable.<br />
When the remote link is enabled on the<br />
Psion, choose install with Psiond again,<br />
Change the drive to C: and install the<br />
comms application a little secret terminal<br />
package hidden away on a ROM drive,<br />
Turn the remote link off. Set your <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
serial prefs to 19200, RTS/CTS etc. Run<br />
the comms application and also set it up<br />
for 19200 baud, RIS/D-TS and leave all the<br />
other handshaking options off.<br />
Now on the <strong>Amiga</strong>, make sure you<br />
have AUX: mounted. There may be a<br />
mountfile of this name in<br />
Devs:Storage/Dosdrivers. Mount this by<br />
using Mount followed by the<br />
full path to the AUX mountfile.<br />
Next, type Newshell<br />
AUX: and miraculously you<br />
should have an <strong>Amiga</strong>Shell<br />
open on the Psion in the<br />
Comms package. You can do<br />
anything on this shell that<br />
you can do on a shell run-<br />

A practical application of this would be<br />
to have a modem connected to the<br />

AUX: active, you'd be able to use<br />
the Psion and its modem accessory to<br />
dial in to your <strong>Amiga</strong> and control it<br />
remotely via a Shell. Psion modems<br />
also interface to cellular phones for the<br />
ultimate in portable communications. At<br />
the moment the Psion has no TCP/IP<br />
stack (Internet software) of its own but<br />
this is apparently coming. There's already<br />
Email and WIAM/ clients (though for<br />
offline use).<br />
Most of us would find the Psion useful<br />

We've included virtually all of the Psion's freely redistributable software<br />
base on this month's covermounted CD. In fact it's all of Frontiernet's<br />
Psion support Internet FTP site. You'll find this all in the Magazine/Psion<br />
directory. You'll need to access it via the CLI or a directory utility and all<br />
of the archives will be in LZX archive format (repacked from the original<br />
zips). For this reason there's an UnLZX program in the root of this directory.<br />
Simply CD to where you'd like to extract the archive to and then<br />
enter UnZip . There's almost always installation<br />
instructions but generally this will require you moving files into<br />
NCP:M/APP and then installing with the Psion-I key combination. This<br />
collection should keep your <strong>Amiga</strong>/Psion combination happy for a very<br />
long time.

One day we may see the rebirth of the <strong>Amiga</strong> with a PowerPC<br />
processor and other new features to enable it to compete again<br />
with today's systems. Sadly though, more than two years since<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong>'s demise, very little of substance has happened. We've<br />
seen prototypes and promises, but that's about it...<br />
Perhaps some can wait for the final outcome, but if you need more<br />
performance, without paying the earth - and you need it today -<br />
there's one real alternative to consider now...<br />

talks to Teaml 7's<br />
Martyn Brown, a man<br />
renowned for superb<br />
game production<br />
and copious amounts<br />
of beer consumption.<br />
Name: Martyn<br />
James Brown<br />
Age: 29<br />
Born: Wakefield,<br />
West Yorkshire<br />
Occupation: Director of<br />
Development for<br />
Team17 Software<br />
Biggest Success: Alien<br />
Breed series and Worms<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: When did you first become involved<br />
in the games industry?<br />
MB: "While I was at Tec in 1985 myself<br />
and a friend wrote a Spectrum game called<br />
Henry's Hoard. I was 17 but had been<br />
involved with computers and video games<br />
since I was about seven or eight. We<br />
formed Alternative Software which is still<br />
going today although I've had nothing to do<br />
with it since the original game."<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: And your first <strong>Amiga</strong> experience?<br />
MB: "As soon as I saw an A1000 in 1985, it<br />
was a must-have, As a penniless student,<br />
couldn't afford an <strong>Amiga</strong> until 1987 when I<br />
got an A500. The bug kicked in then - it<br />
was real whizz-bang stuff then,"<br />
"Technical feats are cool<br />
but I've had lots of good<br />
looking, expensive beers<br />
that tasted bad."<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: Last month, Jon Hare said the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> is the best thing that's ever happened<br />
to the industry. What do you think?<br />
MB: "The <strong>Amiga</strong> played a massive role in<br />
the industry to deliver near arcade quality<br />
games with good sounds and visuals. The<br />
back-bedroom coding and demo culture<br />
gave it a buzz and it was the machine that<br />
everyone could get access to. An affordable<br />
development system that can deliver<br />
quality ideas is exceptionally important."<br />

A Charactet stumpiere add utter Nil made Worms into a hit<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: Which games made the <strong>Amiga</strong> the<br />
great games machine it was?<br />
MB: "Defender Of The Crown, Shadow Of<br />
The Beast, Speedball, Kick Off, Pinball<br />
Dreams, Sensible Soccer and Worms. The<br />
early ones for showing the leap up from<br />
other systems, the latter ones for visuals<br />
and sheer playability "<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: Andreas Tadic and Rico Holmes<br />
(Alien Breed, Alien Breed 2, SupeHrog)<br />
played an important role in launching<br />
Team17 into the industry. Yet we saw<br />
little from them after these titles why?<br />
MB: "Sadly, the next project after AB2,<br />
King Of Thieves, didn't work out - there<br />
was too much complacency. They'd had a<br />
lot of success the previous two years and<br />
human nature does make you step down a<br />
gear when life gets a little easier, even<br />
though they are both still very capable.'<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: AB302 appears to be aimed at high<br />
spec <strong>Amiga</strong>s only. This is surely a showpiece<br />
rather than a commercial venture?<br />
MB: 'AB3D worked really well and, in<br />
terms of gameplay, is as good as it gets on<br />
a standard machine. AB3D2 was never rear<br />
ly a commercial venture because we knew<br />
the market was shrinking but we had the<br />
opportunity to 'go out with a bang'. We<br />
tried to listen to everyone and what they<br />
wanted - the upshot was a 4Mb, 030 minimum<br />
3D engine. We tried to deliver that<br />
and a good game, too. But I would rather<br />
the company be remembered for good<br />
A A33D2 gave the "empire what they wanted: a 41All 030 englem<br />
games rather than technological feats<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: And Worms, of course. What's the<br />
formula to its success?<br />
MB: "Its popularity was based on complete<br />
and utter multi-playing fun. It also had<br />
character and a charming atmosphere. I<br />
had a lot of belief in the fact that Worms<br />
would make it big time. It helps enormously<br />
if you have energy and conviction in all that<br />
you do. The gameplay really shone out -<br />
and people looked at the game for once<br />
rather than fancy packaging. Technical feats<br />
are cool but I've had lots of good looking,<br />
expensive beers that tasted bad."<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: You've always had a great relationship<br />
with <strong>Amiga</strong> users, taking time to<br />
answer Emails and talk to press. Are you<br />
keen to keep Team17 friendly and as<br />
non-corporate as possible?<br />
MB: "I h&e benefited enormously from<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> scene. I was on the 'other side'<br />
for a number of years and a keen enthusiast.<br />
I know what it's like to ogle the 'development<br />
dream'. I've been fortunate enough<br />
to get myself involved so I always take time<br />
to talk to the people who put me and the<br />
company where we are today I've always<br />
tried to steer Team17 towards being laid<br />
back and approachable.'<br />
<strong>CU</strong>: How important has the <strong>Amiga</strong> been<br />
to Team17 Software's success?<br />
MB: "Without the <strong>Amiga</strong>, there wouldn't<br />
be a Team17. Simple as that." II<br />

HEE' sang the little<br />
laughing gnome (just<br />
0 A, before HA, HA, getting HEE. horribly HEE,<br />
spiked to death). Getting spiked<br />
surely wasn't in the lyrics of<br />
everyone favourite old time tune<br />
now was it? No but a bit of poetic<br />
license is allowed when we're<br />
referring to OTIvits latest platform<br />
game, Gnomes.<br />
Spanning about 50 levels your<br />
job is to lead your little men to<br />
safety making sure that they<br />
don't get spiked. drop to their<br />
certain death or meet a myriad of<br />
other grisly fates.<br />
OTIVI promise lovely graphics<br />
and lots of nice tunes to go<br />
along with the cheery chappies<br />
as they amble along trying to<br />
avoid that great big garden<br />
centre in the sky.<br />
At this point<br />
Gnomes sounds very<br />
similar to Bograts<br />

from Vulcan (previewed<br />
last month)<br />
only the stars of this<br />
game are rather more<br />
attractive. However,<br />
there is a major difference<br />
in that Gnomes<br />
will run on both PC<br />
and <strong>Amiga</strong>. The <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
side was handled by<br />
Funrise Entertainment<br />
in Germany while the<br />
PC side was developed<br />
by CyberArts, Finland. And<br />
more improved graphics and<br />
sound effects are<br />
promised for some<br />
of the more<br />
powerful machines.<br />
As a result of this<br />
dual format cooperation,<br />
OTM have<br />
designed an installer<br />
for Gnomes so<br />
that the game will<br />
recognise which make<br />
of <strong>Amiga</strong> it is running on and<br />
boot up the relevant version,<br />
which is good news for us all.<br />
Cool or what? You'll agree if you<br />
take a look at the screenshots<br />
here that it is looking good so far.<br />
Gnomes will run on all 1Mb<br />
machines including OCS, ECS<br />
and AGA machines and should<br />
retail for around E29.95. We<br />
should have a full review for you<br />
next month. •<br />

The Chaos<br />
Engine 2<br />
• DR November • Developer: The Bit map Brothers t 0111 391 4300<br />
Almost there --- we take an in-depth<br />
pre-production look at what could<br />
be the best two player game ever.<br />
ters and phone calls<br />
concerning the<br />
0 eve Bitmaps had latest so many <strong>Amiga</strong> let-<br />
creation and when and if it would<br />
ever be ready that we persuaded<br />
the boys from Wapping to give us<br />
an exclusive sneak preview of the<br />
game, now in its final stages of<br />
testing. When we originally interviewed<br />
the Bitmap Brothers about<br />
this one: their last <strong>Amiga</strong> creation<br />
it was planned for release before<br />
the Summer, but a series of problems<br />
with their big PC product,<br />
Z, has delayed<br />
it and there<br />
are<br />
only so many brothers to go<br />
around. In fact the game was first<br />
scheduled for release at Easter<br />
1995, but you never know these<br />
days do you?<br />
To recap on the storyline,<br />
Chaos Engine 2 is set in four different<br />
worlds where the four main<br />
protagonists are acting under<br />
orders of the Baron who is trying<br />
to reassemble the Chaos Engine.<br />
Each of the four worlds holds a<br />
set of components for<br />
the machine and the<br />
levels are built<br />
around retrieving<br />
these. The four<br />
worlds are:<br />
future, medieval.<br />
the er being the<br />
a Ai z n tand from Chaos the -<br />
original. n Each world has<br />
four levels, some of<br />
which are divided up into<br />
smaller 'zones with<br />
rooms and mazes to<br />
conquer. As the<br />
game progresses<br />
each map may have<br />
A Fed meld has its end oh level hese. Like the enemies associated with each they're either pretty dumb<br />

to be traversed more than once to<br />
get a result and although the<br />
game cycles through the worlds<br />
in the above order, the gameplay<br />
in the levels is non-linear, so you<br />
can play through things in a different<br />
order at different times.<br />

have been enhanced. They are<br />

Future WetimrId<br />
he first world you encounter is future world. This is charcterised<br />
by robotic enemies, aliens, computer screens and<br />
ircuit boards. The latter must be collected to please the<br />
aron, who needs them to construct his Chaos Engine all<br />
over again. This is<br />
the easiest world<br />

The latter two are combat<br />
orientated characters and will try<br />
their best to mow you down at<br />
every possible moment.<br />
Intelligence<br />
This is the key difference between<br />
Chaos 1 and 2. In the first game<br />
you selected another character to<br />
help you out, here they are in<br />
competition with you. In the one<br />
player game the computer character's<br />
artificial intelligence gets better<br />
as the game continues and<br />
their experience increases. On the<br />
future level your task is to collect<br />
circuit boards for the baron and<br />
find keys to get you Out at the<br />
end of the level. But the computer<br />
character has the same aim, It will<br />
collect its own objects and then<br />
chase you around to get yours.<br />
It's frustrating to get to the end of<br />
the level and, just as you are<br />
about to use the key to activate<br />
the exit door, the bloomin'<br />

Mercenary shoots you, making<br />
you drop the key, then picks it up<br />
and steals through the door ahead<br />
of you.<br />
The score is totted up on the<br />
Baron's totometer according to<br />
the amount of enemies you've<br />
axed (including the other player)<br />
the amount of objects you pick up<br />
and whether you get out the exit<br />
first. This latter point is important.<br />
You might be behind in terms of<br />
score but if, like the Mercenary in<br />
the example above, you can catch<br />
your opponent and clobber him<br />
you could sneak a win.<br />
As far as the artificial intelligence<br />
is concerned I can confirm<br />
from a half day's play that it is<br />
indeed efficient. I must admit to a<br />
certain amount of scepticism<br />
when the complexity of the system<br />
was originally explained to<br />
me, but on later levels these guys<br />
get very smart, dodging bullets<br />
the way &human player might<br />
and wreaking havoc on your player<br />
in a most vindictive manner. A<br />

Although the Mercenary is 'pule ditlocutt <strong>Is</strong> kill it<br />
looks as though the skeleton is the tap right curlier<br />
may have inadvertently conbilmted to his downhill.<br />
testament to this was when the<br />
game was being demonstrated at<br />
ECTS one punter demanded to<br />
know where the second (human)<br />
player was, thinking it was a network<br />
game.<br />
Two player<br />
It's not a network game, but<br />
adopting a standard, horizontally<br />
split screen, two players can play<br />
effectively. There is a single<br />
screen option for playing against<br />
the computer if you so wish. It is<br />
in two player mode that Chaos<br />
engine shines most. According to<br />
Simon 'Duck' Knight of the<br />
Bitmaps: "you might not believe<br />
this, but we had Super Mario Kart<br />
in mind when we devised the<br />
two-player game". "The intention<br />

The Bitmaps are obviously keen historians as they've<br />
adapted Aztek mythology to their own ends in creating this<br />
level. Its enemies include jaguars (large cats, not cars) and<br />
the scenery is also against you yes you know the saying<br />
"the walls have ears"? Welt, they've got laser guns in Aztek<br />

Chaos World<br />
The final world is filled with mysterious hidden rooms and<br />
creatures and scenery that can prove lethal. It is heavily<br />
overgrown with mutant forms, due to the Chaos Engine's<br />
influence. Here you must pick up batteries to complete the<br />
Baron's shopping list. Some enemies, like the robotic<br />
hands, will be<br />
familiar to<br />
fans of<br />
the original<br />

more cempki.<br />
Mink<br />
r.•<br />
challenge game, as opposed to<br />
simply a two-player version of the<br />
full game. In it you can select<br />
from one to four levels to<br />
play on each world and<br />
then enter into one<br />
on one combat to<br />
achieve the<br />
highest score.<br />
Another good<br />
reason for this<br />
method is that<br />
you can't select a<br />
human player for<br />
the full game and<br />
then cheat by playing it<br />
through without any (difficult)<br />
computer competition.<br />
In many ways the two player<br />
mode is like a 2D version of the<br />
'death match modes in games<br />
like Breed 3D, with added competitive<br />
incentive to reach the<br />
end first.<br />
Sounds good<br />
Another advantage of sitting<br />
down to play and watch the<br />
game being played for an<br />
afternoon was a chance<br />
to check out the<br />
impressive Richard<br />
Joseph sound effects<br />
and music. Through a<br />
decent sound system the ,<br />
add a major amount of<br />
atmosphere. Each level its t<br />
own theme tune, so there's<br />
plenty of variety.<br />
The Chaos Engine 2 is no<br />
scheduled for release at the<br />
beginning of November, and the<br />
Bitmaps are definitely working<br />
full steam ahead on it. Don't<br />
take 1;beir word for it: I<br />
sneaked around the office<br />
and sure enough there was<br />
an <strong>Amiga</strong> on everybody's<br />
desk and Chaos Engine<br />
2 was on them. The AGA<br />
version I looked at was<br />
fully playable and almost<br />
reviewable, but there<br />
were a couple of tweaks<br />
left which means it's still a<br />
couple of weeks away lrorr<br />
being signed, sealed anclgin<br />
ished. Due to our policy aitonly,„<br />
reviewing finished games youPIII.<br />
will get the whole lowdown next<br />
month (other magazines who<br />
4<br />
reviewed the game three months<br />
ago take note!). The A500 version<br />
(yes, there is one) will be delayed<br />
longer, but is also due for<br />
release in November. •<br />

Price: E16.99 I Publisher: Hit Squad © 0161 832 6633<br />
ack in 1995 this<br />
version of Player<br />
Manager was very well<br />
received. It had great<br />
ancestry in one of the most popular<br />
footy management sims ever<br />
and as an update it almost managed<br />
the impossible: a sequel<br />
which does its predecessor<br />
proud. Similar in style to On the<br />
Ball and Audiogenic's Super<br />
League Manager, you can<br />
participate in the games you've<br />
planned using the Kick Off 3<br />
game engine included.<br />

You start off in the second division<br />
rather than the third, which<br />
makes getting used to the routine<br />
easier. So many games expect<br />
you to manage upwards from the<br />
third division, which can often be<br />
difficult and off-putting. PM2 is<br />
more accessible in this way.<br />
There are 16 teams from each of<br />
the four divisions included and<br />
you must create a team capable<br />
of winning promotion to the<br />
Premier League as well as joining<br />
in the fun in Europe, Competition<br />
is provided by three other managers<br />
who can be<br />
either computer or<br />
human controlled.<br />

As usual your tasks wili<br />
include training, dealing on the<br />
transfer market, dealing with<br />
sponsors and devising tactics<br />
(PM2 has a great tactics editor).<br />
Added realism is provided by the<br />
appearance of Alan Hansen, but<br />
as in real life, he can be a pain in<br />
the neck at times_<br />
The main management menu<br />
is represented by a side cutaway<br />
of the clubhouse building which<br />
allows you to access the various<br />
areas essential to the smooth running<br />
of the club. Inevitably much<br />
action (if that is the right word)<br />
takes place in the manager's<br />
office where transfer deals and<br />
player purchasing takes place.<br />
Unfortunately PM2 is not the<br />
most informative game in this<br />
area and it can sometimes be<br />
confusing just how much money<br />
you're spending on players.<br />
After the highlights of the management<br />
section actually playing<br />
the game in the KO engine is a bit<br />
of a disappointment. Its not the<br />

tpc,t arcade footy game by any<br />
means. But at least using the<br />
advanced tactical editor in the<br />
management section you can<br />
invent those wild plays you sometimes<br />
wish your favourite real life<br />
team would adopt.<br />
This is one to watch out for.<br />
Anco subsequently produced an<br />
AGA version with allegedly<br />
improved graphics. They almost<br />
ruined it with superficial cosmetic<br />
stunts. This version is much more<br />
worthwhile, arid now cheaper too.<br />
It falls in the middle between the<br />
two pillars of footy games:<br />
Sensible World Of Soccer and<br />
Premier Manager 3.<br />
Less fun but more management<br />
than the former, and less<br />
slats and depth than the latter_ If<br />

ye,<br />
•-<br />
I've been<br />
searching<br />
through my<br />
mailbag<br />
for some things<br />
to tempt you<br />
with. Here<br />
are the tastier<br />
ones. Enjoy.<br />
The Secret of<br />
Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land<br />
I can't open the sealed trunks in<br />
the hold on the ship to Monkey<br />
<strong>Is</strong>land. I used the rope as a fuse<br />
on the cannon and used the gunpowder<br />
in the nozzle but nothing<br />
happened. I know that I can use<br />
oleo pot from the kitchen as a hel-<br />
A. so I can be fired off this ship<br />
:into another one, but when does<br />
another ship pass by?<br />
Thomas Rutherford, Kirkcaldy.<br />
The reason you can't open the sealed<br />
trunks is because they are sealed!<br />
And the reason you can't blast your- -<br />
self off one ship onto another is<br />
because it's Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land that you<br />
want to be blasted onto. Here is the<br />
complete sequence to get off the ship,<br />
Get the Jolly Roger flag from the<br />
mast. Go down into the hold, gel the<br />
rope, open the chest and then take<br />
the wine. Get the gunpowder then go<br />
to the galley and get the pot. Open<br />
the cupboard and get the cereal.<br />
Open the cereal and take the prize.<br />
Go to your cabin and get the ink,<br />
then use your prize (which is a key)<br />
to open the cupboard. Inside is a<br />
recipe and cinnamon sticks. Go to the<br />
galley and use the cinnamon sticks,<br />
the breath mints, the Jolly Roger, the<br />
ink, the fine wine, the rubber chicken,<br />
the gunpowder and the cereal on<br />
the cooking pot. Things will turn<br />
ty for a moment, then you can use<br />
Adventure<br />
Helpline<br />
the business card which you got from<br />
Stan on the fire. Pick up more gunpowder<br />
then return to the upper deck.<br />
Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land will now be in sight<br />
and you can fix up the cannon to<br />
blast yourself off the ship.<br />
Simon the<br />
Sorcerer<br />
How do you get on top of the<br />
Dragon's Cave?<br />
Colin Lowery, Dublin.<br />
Very quietly I would think, because<br />
you don't want to wake him. Before<br />
you go climbing anywhere use the<br />
cold remedy on him to make sure he<br />
is fast asleep. You can pick up this<br />
handy medicine from the Druid's<br />
house. Once the dragon is dozing,<br />
grab the fire extinguisher and leave.<br />
Outside the care you can combine<br />
the rope from the Blacksmith's Forge<br />
with the hook from the Mine, Now<br />
use the hook on the boulder at the top<br />
of cave entrance to climb up.<br />
Operation<br />
Stealth<br />
My girlfriend and I have been<br />
thrown overboard with rocks tied<br />
to out feet. How do I escape?<br />
R. Eates, Sheffield<br />
That's typical! You want to know how<br />
'you' can escape. What about the<br />
poor girl? Well the answer depends<br />
on how confident you are about<br />
yourself. I mean, would you feel a<br />
sissy wearing a bracelet? If you are<br />
worried about it, just remember that<br />
you are supposed to be an incredibly<br />
sexy secret agent and no one will<br />
think anything of it.<br />
Provided that when you changed<br />
your dollars into the local currency<br />
you remembered to do the action<br />
twice, you should have enough<br />
money to buy a bracelet from the guy<br />
on the beach. Wear the bracelet, then<br />
Just before you are chucked overboard<br />
you must 'Operate' the<br />
bracelet. Once you are in the water,<br />
wait until you almost reach the ocean<br />
bed, then 'Operate* the bracelet<br />
again to free yourself. Swim towards<br />
the girl and 'Operate Girt' to free<br />
her. Whether you're really sexy or<br />
not, somehow I don't think she'll be<br />
in a hurry to go out with you again.<br />
Future Wars<br />
To try and escape from the prison<br />
I used the key to remove the grille<br />
but I don't know what to do next.<br />
In my inventory I have: a lance,<br />
newspaper, blowtorch and documents.<br />
Am I missing anything?<br />
Mark Cosgrove, Neath.<br />
Yes. This part of the game always<br />
stumps players, because the answer is<br />
realty unfair. What you are missing is<br />
a gas grenade which is nearly impossible<br />
to find. Do you remember when<br />
you rescued the fair damsel from the<br />
glass dome she was imprisoned in?<br />
The grenade is to the right of the<br />
glass cylinder. Once you have U. you<br />
can put the grenade through the<br />
grille and then cover the hatch with<br />
the newspaper to prevent the gas<br />
seeping back into your cell.<br />
Police Quest III<br />
I have recently phoned the Sierra<br />
automatic helpline for help with<br />
Police Quest III, Day 4. It said that<br />
I had to get a note (from my message<br />
basket) to go to court, but I<br />
don't receive such a note, instead<br />
I have to go straight to the murder<br />
scene. It also said that I have to<br />
get a tracking device from the<br />
technician AND it said that I have<br />
to see Marie at the end of the day,<br />
but the game takes me straight<br />
home after Morales has made a<br />
phone call.<br />
<strong>Is</strong> there someone that I need to<br />
talk to. or something I need to do<br />
in one of the earlier days?<br />
Adam Noon, Thorngumbald.<br />
I have double checked the solution<br />
and Sierra are correct. As most guys<br />
don't know what day of the week it is,<br />
shall we double check with you? Day<br />
GAME TIPS<br />
Iwo began with the boss ringing you<br />
at home. Day<br />
, home, three then going to work in the<br />
bHomicide e g Office. You pick up a<br />
amemo n from your basket which has<br />
w<br />
the address<br />
i<br />
325 South Second Street<br />
ton it. h You ended the day at Oak Tree<br />
y<br />
Mall and then you went back to the<br />
station, then home.<br />
o<br />
Day four begins at home, then<br />
u<br />
you leave the house and go to the sta-<br />
a<br />
tion. Go to the Homicide Office and<br />
t<br />
there is a note on your desk, it is a<br />
court summons. Take the note, then<br />
go to the third floor where you can<br />
pick up a tracking device from the<br />
Head Technician. You'll note that my<br />
solution says that the note is on the<br />
desk and not in your message tray. I<br />
can't recall if specified the desk<br />
deliberately, or if meant the message<br />
tray, but take it from me, that<br />
message is somewhere on that desk.<br />
Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land II<br />
How do I get the monkey from<br />
the bar? I've tried offering the<br />
monkey my banana, but the barkeeper<br />
tells me to get lost.<br />
David Ellams, Borehamwood.<br />
What a lousy technique for picking up<br />
people in bars. It's easy really. You<br />
simply attach your banana to the<br />
metronome and as it ticks from side to<br />
side the monkey will watch it until it<br />
becomes hypnotised. You'll now be<br />
able to pick it up and take it home<br />
with you. •<br />

GAME TIPS<br />
FIRE AND ICE<br />
Graftgold<br />
Matthew Belshaw from Lowestoft<br />
has discovered a hidden goody in<br />
this excellent Graftgold classic.<br />
On Green Run (level 2) go to the<br />
top of the slope and use a<br />
snowflake (ie down and fire). This<br />
will reveal a staircase made up<br />
from blocks marked with a question<br />
mark. Climb this and, at the<br />
top, jump straight up to get<br />
warped to a further stage. Try this<br />
in other levels as somehow (don't<br />
ask me how folks!) you'll find<br />
yourself with infinite lives! What<br />
an excellent cheat! Ta mate.<br />
MORTAL<br />
KOMBAT 2<br />
Acclaim<br />
Marcelino Salcedo of The<br />
Netherlands (gosh we go all over<br />
the place, don't we?) has a nifty<br />
little code to remind us about that<br />
accesses a diagnostics screen<br />
that allows you to choose opponents,<br />
change time, and... well,<br />
tons of things really! Just go to<br />
the options menu and type the<br />
code ZEDWEB. If the cheat<br />
doesn't work first time, just keep<br />
entering ZEDINE13. Ace! • •<br />
DIGGERS CD32<br />
Millennium<br />
4h, now here's a game that wasted<br />
many a happy (if pointless)<br />
hour! Well Adam Shailer has a<br />
decent little cheat that allows you<br />
to collect tons of jewels without<br />
having to go anywhere! Dig a tunnel<br />
horizontally at least five<br />
squares across. Now dig down<br />
one square, then up diagonally<br />
until you're back on the level of<br />
your original tunnel. Now dig<br />
down the SMALLER part of the<br />
slope to remove it (you should<br />
end up with something that looks<br />
like a castle's battlements (you<br />
know, ramparts, that sort of thing)<br />
anyway you can now place a<br />
digger inside these 'trenches' and<br />
Earwig-o again! More cheats, more codes, more tips. What<br />
incredible value for money! Matt Broughton will be your driver<br />
today. HOLD TIGHT!<br />
get them to dig diagonally up<br />
in the direction of the slope.<br />
They won't actually go anywhere,<br />
but will keep digging, miraculously<br />
finding jewels regularly!<br />
Crazy, huh?<br />
FRONTIER<br />
Gametek<br />
Not really a cheat, lust some<br />
damn good advice from 'Mr Nice<br />
Guy' of Herefordshire.<br />
Try this: Start at Lave and buy<br />
a Viper Defence craft, along with<br />
a beam laser from upgrades.<br />
Also buy an automatic pilot, four<br />
homing missiles and atmospheric<br />
shielding. Now ask 0ermission<br />
for launching (and don't forget<br />
some fueU). Your objective is<br />
Zaonce, but don't go there yet.<br />
Jump to Tionisla and THEN on to<br />
Zaonce. Head for the planet<br />
Industry, go to the space station,<br />
and check Out upgrades. You'll<br />
find that you're in a pretty tasty<br />
position to progress further<br />
(you'll see what I mean when you<br />
get there!)<br />
XTREME<br />
RACING<br />
Guildhall Leisure<br />
Tobias Caplen of Hampshire<br />
would like to share with us all a<br />
handy cheat for accessing the<br />
three tracks without having to<br />
win the three levels of cup races,<br />
Type !DKR% in any of the menu<br />
screens and the screen with all<br />

A To get Co the three tracks in Xtreme Racing without having to win the three levels oh cop races type ICKFA<br />
in ern' of the menu screens<br />
three tracks on will flash (type it<br />
in again to deactivate the cheat).<br />
ALIEN BREED<br />
3D II<br />
Team 17<br />
Another cheat from Tobias<br />
comes in the form of a cheat of<br />
sorts that allows you to build up<br />
a bit of ammo supply without too<br />
much effort. When the game has<br />
first loaded, collect bath ammo<br />
boxes in the first room and then<br />
press the Esc key. Select to 'Play<br />
Game' again and repeat the<br />
process until you've clocked up<br />
enough ammo to complete the<br />
level without running too low_<br />
Handy, non?<br />
CIVILISATION<br />
MicroProse<br />
An excellent discovery by Paul<br />
Hendrikx from The Netherlands<br />
(again!) means that you can now<br />
design your own worlds using a<br />
package like DPaint V! Load<br />
into DPaint a file from the<br />
Civilisation directory called<br />
'CIVMAP.Ibm'. You'll see a map of<br />
Earth in the left corner so save<br />
this somewhere else. Now you<br />
can draw your own world using<br />
the following colour sequence<br />
.Light green = Grassland<br />
Light blue = Jungle<br />
Dark blue = Oceans<br />
Brown = Plains<br />
Purple = Mountains<br />
White = Arctic<br />
Dark green = Forest<br />
Medium blue = River<br />
Yellow = Desert<br />
Red = Hills<br />
Grey = Tundra<br />
Also: If you save your game<br />
before entering 'an advanced<br />
tribe' you can load it again if barbarians<br />
come<br />
. new city, unit, or new invention.<br />
Cool or what. •<br />

manager, or so it<br />
seems. While in theory<br />
0 veryone the more needs technically- a file<br />
minded should be happy with the<br />
Shell, with Workbench being the<br />
choice for those who want the<br />
easy option, in practice it doesn't<br />
always work like that. Quite often<br />
neither option has both the immediacy<br />
and the power to get the job<br />
done quickly and easily. A good filci<br />
manager makes light work of t:i<br />
that would otherwise require<br />
lengthy Shell commands, or be<br />
awkward or even impossible to do<br />
with the Workbench.<br />
Programs such as Climate and<br />
SID pioneered the file manager<br />
theme in the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s early days.<br />
but it wasn't long before Directory<br />
Opus appeared and promptly left<br />
them for dust. Ever since,<br />
Directory Opus has been a regular<br />
fixture on just about every serious<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> user's hard drive.<br />
All change<br />
When version 5.0 appeared in early<br />
1995 it took a major detour from<br />
the established file manager<br />
format. Previously file managers<br />
consisted of two fixed-position<br />
listers• and a bank of function buttons.<br />
Opus 5 threw the whole<br />
thing wide open with windows and<br />
button banks that could be moved,<br />
resized and configured until the<br />
cows came home, even going as<br />
far as to herald itself as a complete<br />
What's new?<br />
Here's a selection of the<br />
new features that have<br />
appeared since version 5.0.<br />
• New Icon Action mode<br />
• Built-in Frp lister mode<br />
• Borderless button banks<br />

Workbench replacement.<br />
Breaking away from its fammar<br />
format gave it freedom to<br />
introduce a range bf powerful new<br />
features but also had the side<br />
effect cif alienating some existing<br />
Opus fans, since it was no longer<br />
as simple to use in its default set<br />
up. Since then GP Software have<br />
had time to digest the reactions<br />
from its worldwide userbase and<br />
take Opus on to the next stage.<br />
Gadgets galore<br />
If you never used version 5 you<br />
could be forgiven for thinking<br />
you'd loaded up the wrong software.<br />
In contrast to version 4 and<br />
below, 5.5 starts up with a worryingly<br />
empty screen. During the<br />
installation process you are given<br />
countless configuration choices,<br />
which include the option to copy<br />
all the 'left out' drive icons from<br />
your Workbench onto the Opus<br />
screen, If you do choose to do so,<br />
you end up with a Opus screen<br />

that<br />

looks and acts remarkably like<br />
Workbench ° itself. Double clicking<br />
an •icon<br />
opens a window, but<br />
unlike 1 Workbench, the window<br />
takes 0 the form of a lister containing<br />
1a<br />
sorted directory of the drive.<br />
An icon strip runs along the top<br />
each<br />
1<br />
lister. These icons are used to<br />
process<br />
1<br />
any selected files in that<br />
lister, 1 The icons include functions<br />
l<br />
almost subconsciously. While at<br />
first it might seem 3 a bit over complicated<br />
and disorganised, - before<br />
long it all starts to make sense. It<br />
takes elements of 1the<br />
Workbench,<br />
such as drive icons and the facility<br />
1<br />
to drag and drop files from here to<br />
there, alongside the button banks<br />
and listers of old.<br />

as 1an<br />

for 1the<br />
icon functions, along with a<br />

new lister opens up right there,<br />
containing a list of all currently<br />
mounted drives and assigns for<br />
your selection. The ability to have<br />
more than two listers open at once<br />
introduces a complication that<br />
never occurs on a simple dual-liscated<br />

There's 1 a strange familiarity about<br />
Opus 1 5.5 that creeps up on you<br />
0<br />
case of one window acting as a<br />
source and the other as the destination.<br />
Now each lister can be<br />

Internet IRV Module<br />
One of the most useful new features in Opus 5.5 is the FTP<br />
module. This allows you to hook up to an FIP site via the<br />
Internet (assuming you have a TCP/IP stack up and running)<br />
and access it from a normal Opus lister. This makes light<br />
work of downloading files. You can even have a number of<br />
FTP listers open at the same time, all downloading or<br />
uploading specified files at the same time.<br />
easier v'hen it comes to simple<br />
work-a-day jobs, you'll probably<br />
find this all too much to take in.<br />
Maybe GP Software could have<br />
renamed it when it got to version<br />
5.0 to reflect the many changes<br />
and additions, Using Opus 5.5 to<br />
simply shovel a few files around<br />
is like using a combine harvester<br />
to mow the lawn.<br />
My main criticism of the program<br />
is that it's not easier to use<br />
right from the start, It would be<br />
nice if it was simpler to select<br />
one of a few basic set-ups and<br />
screen layouts before you dive<br />
into the menus and start twiddling<br />
all the knobs<br />
For those with the inclinaton<br />
to set up a throbbing mult -<br />
faceted file processing system.<br />
Opus 5.5 is a godsend. The r TP<br />
features are excellent and will<br />
probably be the most popular of<br />
the new additions. Obviously any<br />
seasoned users of version 5.0<br />
won't have the rather steep learning<br />
curve to deal with, so in that<br />

cd6e ,t's really a matter of figuring<br />
out which of the new features<br />
to use Those with an<br />
extremely good memory will<br />
recall we rated version 5.0 at a<br />
big fat 'go buy it now' kind of<br />
95% mark.<br />
For the sake of continuity we<br />
could match that score here, but<br />
that would be the easy option. It's<br />
not perfect, it won't be to everyone's<br />
taste, but in the right hands<br />
its an incredibly powerful tool.<br />
But is it Opus?<br />
This is the big question for many<br />
Opus users. Should it ever have<br />
been developed to this degree of<br />
complexity? On the one hand you<br />
can enter commands directly into<br />
the Shell if you want 'quick and<br />
dirty' control over your files, and<br />
if you want simple file shovelling,<br />
there's Opus 4 and a handful of<br />
other similarly capable file managers<br />
available from the public<br />
domain. Sometimes it seems the<br />
effort required to set-up Opus 5.5<br />
for specific tasks could be better<br />
spent writing your own DOS<br />
scripts or jacking straight into<br />
the Shell. Re-configuring previous<br />
versions of Opus was a fairly<br />
straight forward affair, but<br />
things have a tendency to get<br />
rather complicated when you dig<br />
into the main power features of<br />
Opus 5.5.<br />
Directory Opus 5.5 is without<br />
doubt a very powerful system<br />
but it's not necessarily going to<br />
be what every Opus user wants<br />
as an upgrade. •<br />

A new sound card has arrived with its<br />
own onboard 24-bit DSP chip. Could it<br />
be the ultimate audio upgrade?<br />
ack in the April 96<br />
issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine we reviewed<br />
the Toccata from<br />
MacroSystem, a fairly simple<br />
16-bit stereo record and replay<br />
system on a Zorro card, which<br />
we rated at 82%. Until now that's<br />
been one of the very few available<br />
options for those looking to<br />
upgrade from the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s 8-bit<br />
audio limitations.<br />
Now, from the land that<br />
brought you OctaMED (that's<br />
Finland by the way) comes a new<br />
sound card with better specs<br />
than ever.<br />
24-bit DSP<br />
Whereas Toccata could sample<br />
and replay 16-bit stereo samples,<br />
Delfina goes one better by<br />
adding a DSP chip to the equation.<br />

seem that the main aim of<br />
Delfina is to act as a realtime<br />
effects processor, but that's not<br />
all it can do. Aside from the DSP<br />
functions, the AD/DA convertor<br />
can be used to sample and<br />
replay 16-bit stereo sound.<br />
Although there's no sampling<br />
software as such, the output of<br />

On a<br />
more practical level,<br />
Dellina can be used as a 16 bit<br />
stereo output for use with<br />
OctaMED SoundStudio, the MIDI<br />
sequencer Dominator (a non-<br />
MIDI version of which comes<br />
with Delfina) and as an output for<br />
any other audio software which<br />
supports the relatively new AHI<br />
retargetable audio system.<br />
Two pairs of stereo RCA phono<br />
sockets are mounted on the back<br />
plate for line level input and Output.<br />
There's also a 1/4 inch jack<br />
socket which can be switched<br />
between line and mic level input,<br />
plus stereo mini jack socket for<br />
headphones output. An additional<br />
plate can be attached to the<br />
card which offers alternative parallel<br />
and serial ports. There's currently<br />
no driver available for the<br />
parallel port, although this is<br />
under development and should<br />
be released soon.<br />
A driver for the serial port is<br />
supplied, enabling you to use<br />
this instead of the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s slow<br />
built-in serial port, allowing faster<br />
access times from serial devices,<br />
particularly modems.<br />
Practical uses<br />
Unfortunately you can't control<br />
Delfina from two applications at<br />
once, so if you tried to run<br />
SoundStudio with Delfina as<br />
A °elfin, lisp: a 24•<br />
hit DSP. stereo Ms end<br />
outs plias a high speed<br />
serial mod parallel pot<br />
an output, then<br />
run the DelFX<br />
software too,<br />
DelFX would fail to<br />
run and display a<br />
'Cannot allocate<br />
Delfina message.<br />
However, you could<br />
run the DelFX software<br />
in conjunction<br />
with a MIDI<br />
sequencer, or even a<br />
tracker using standard <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
•samples and feed any or all of<br />
those sounds through the Delfina<br />
effects. Because the effects processing<br />
is carried out by the DSP<br />
rather than the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s CPU, this<br />
should be quite feasible even on<br />
the slowest <strong>Amiga</strong>&<br />
Using the direct to disk recording<br />
options of SoundStudio, you<br />
could also use Delfina to add<br />
effects to previously recorded<br />
loops from hard drive, which<br />
could then be used to build up a<br />
new module.<br />
This would have the advantage<br />
of allowing you to process specific<br />
parts independently, and also<br />
the resulting module would use<br />
fewer tracks, which would mean<br />
you could probably use the<br />
'smoothing' option in realtime to<br />
remove the bulk of the mixing<br />
noise (see the SoundStudio<br />
review in the September 96<br />
issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine for<br />
more details).<br />
Sampling<br />
This is the first sampler or sound<br />
card I've seen that doesn't come<br />
with some kind of sampling and<br />
sample editing software. Petsoff
Delfina FX<br />
The Delfina hardware comes complete with its<br />
own realtime effects software. This is a very neat<br />
little MI application that gives you access to five<br />
main types of effects, plus a noise gate and a<br />
dry/wet balance control to adjust the relative<br />
amount of the original and the affected sound.<br />
Each effect has its own collection of windows<br />
containing the relevant sliders and controls. A<br />
selection of effects settings are supplied with the<br />
software, including example set-ups for echo, chorus,<br />
distortion and flange effects. You're free to<br />
save out your own settings too, which for example<br />
could be especially handy for storing time-critical<br />
delays for use with specific projects.<br />
Although the effects work in stereo, in that<br />
both left and right channels are processed and<br />
passed to the left and right outputs, you don't get<br />
independent processing for each channel, nor is<br />
there any cross talk between the channels, so<br />
what you get is a dual monophonic output from<br />
the effects chain, which is then mixed with the<br />
true stereo sound coming from the pass-through.<br />
That means you can't use the effects to add<br />
stereo movement and ping-pong effects to either<br />
a stereo or a mono sound source, which is a little<br />
disappointing. Maybe this will be addressed in<br />
future revisions of the Den software.<br />
The effect types available are compression,<br />
distortion, delay, phaser and equaliser. The<br />
signal is passed through any or all of these in that<br />
order, with the noise gate sitting at the front of<br />
the chain. Let's take a closer look at how they<br />
al work.<br />
Noise gate. This mutes the input of the card<br />
when there's no incoming sound or when the<br />
incoming volume level is below a specified figure.<br />
s is designed to stop interference being picked<br />
coLild have put more time into<br />
developing software specifically<br />
for the card but I would imagine<br />
their main priority at this stage<br />
was actually getting the hardware<br />
into production and on sale. Even<br />
so. it seems a strange omission.<br />
4s it is, the only way to take samwith<br />
the card is by selecting<br />
as the output path on the<br />
'X software. To trim and<br />
process the sample you then<br />
need to load it into a separate 16bit<br />
sample editor that supports<br />
- na output. Its hardly the<br />
Tiplete solution for 16-bit audio<br />
is it? Presumably a proper sample<br />
editor will be made available<br />
before too long. Some hard disk<br />
recording and editing features<br />
would be good too.<br />
Aside from these omissions,<br />
the card is fairly well supported<br />
software side considering<br />
t;uch a new product. If any<br />
the uses suggested here seem to<br />
match your requirements then<br />
you're sorted<br />
Conclusion<br />
While Delfina is possible of<br />
]ucing impressive displays of<br />
audio trickery with the currently<br />
available software, I can't help<br />
feeling than it's got a lot more<br />
potential that is on actually show<br />
at the moment. With the right<br />
software it could do a lot more.<br />
How about multi-track hard disk<br />
• dial* libittatilf/S0<br />
up and passed through the effects chain during<br />
silent parts of the incoming signal.<br />
Compression. Although the documents call this<br />
effect compression it's really limitation, It prevents<br />
the 'clipping' distortion that would occur if the<br />
input was too loud. It does this by scaling down<br />
the sound wave before it's passed onto the rest of<br />
the effects. Full compression also does the opposite,<br />
scaling up quiet parts of the sound to fit the<br />
available headroom, but this is not available here.<br />
Distortion. Designed to add grit and fuzz to<br />
sounds, the distortion effect reverses the good<br />
work of compressor by amplifying the sound to<br />
clipping point. It also uses an unlinear amplifier,<br />
which is a more complex type of amplification that<br />
injects more character into the effect.<br />
Delay. This is where most of the work is done on<br />
reverb and echo effects. The time between the<br />
echoes can be altered from very slight (for<br />
Robocop speech) to very long. There's also a feedback<br />
slider which controls how much of the echo<br />
is passed back through the delay.<br />
Phaser. By merging two copies of the same<br />
sound, offset from one another at constantly varying<br />
degrees, the phase( can create a wide range<br />
of effects from subtle 'whooshing' movements to<br />
fat choruses to sub-aqua wibbles.<br />
This is the most entertaining of all the<br />
effects when you're just messing around and has<br />
seemingly endless possibilities available from<br />
its sliders.<br />
Equaliser. Featuring ten frequency bands ranging<br />
from 34Hz to 17415Hz, the graphic equaliser is a<br />
very useful addition. The sound can be given up to<br />
14dB of cut or boost in any or all of the frequency<br />
bands, It works just like a normal graphic equaliser<br />
but can be more precise than analogue versions.<br />

do now, which is quite a lot<br />
(not forgetting the parallel and<br />
serial ports).<br />
Priced at E400, Delfina comes<br />
in at E100 more than its nearest<br />
rival Toccata, but while Toccata<br />
has already been taken to its limits<br />
by the likes of SoundStudio,<br />
Delfina still has plenty of potential<br />
left in it thanks to the DSP<br />
As it stands the Delfina will<br />
certainly be the answer to many<br />
a musician's dream, but it's not<br />
yet the perfect answer to everyone's<br />
audio ambitions. However,<br />
with a killer application or two<br />
it could really start to shift in<br />
large numbers and break into<br />
the mainstream. We'll see<br />
what happens. •<br />

Looking to expand your storage options? Need a<br />
CD, more than one hard drive and your PCMCIA<br />
slot free? How about a four-way IDE interface<br />
IDE interface as standard<br />
on your Al200 or<br />
0 he A4000 beauty is that of having you can an<br />
stoke up your machine with the<br />
cheapest CD-ROM and hard drives<br />
available. Things can get a bit<br />
tricky with an Al200 when it<br />
comes to power supplies and the<br />
practicalities of actually fitting<br />
these drives but its possible and<br />
it's cheap. However, you're normally<br />
limited to just two devices running<br />
from the IDE interface, which<br />
for many situations is just not sufficient.<br />
The Alfa Quatro brushes this<br />
limitation aside, allowing the<br />
connection of up to four IDE drives<br />
from the one interface.<br />
This version of the Alfa Quatro<br />
(currently the only one available)<br />
has been designed primarily for<br />
use with the A4000, although with<br />
a little enterprise it can be used<br />
with the Al200 too, and with the<br />
A500 and A500+ if an Altapower<br />
hard drive is present. Once you've<br />
paid your E59 and opened the box<br />
you might be a little disappointed<br />
at what looks like very little for<br />
your money: three IDE cables,<br />
three IDE connectors mounted on<br />
a small piece of circuit board, an<br />
installation disk and a few<br />

Reflecting the many different types<br />
of <strong>Amiga</strong> in use today and the<br />
adventurous DIY approach of<br />
many users, the Alfa Quatro system<br />
makes few assumptions<br />
about your system. This has good<br />
and bad sides. You're only supplied<br />
with and charged for the minimum<br />
parts required to do the<br />
job, the flipside of which is that in<br />
some cases you'll need to make<br />
extra purchases and modifications<br />
to fit your machine. The installation<br />
software is a fully registered version<br />
of IDE Fix, an excellent and<br />
highly configurable IDE hard drive<br />
and CD-ROM file system package.<br />
Setting it up on an A4000 is a<br />
simple matter. The shorter of the<br />
three IDE cables plugs into the IDE<br />
connector on the motherboard,<br />

to<br />
least as a three-way interface. For<br />
some reason the Al200 doesn't<br />
seem to Ike working with four<br />
devices from the Alfa Quatro, but<br />
three get along fine together. If<br />
you intend using this with an<br />
Al200 you'll need to specify this<br />
when you order, as a 2.5 inch to<br />
3.5 inch cable is required to connect<br />
to the Al200s smaller IDE<br />
interface. The cables can be<br />
passed out through the blank<br />
expansion port at the back of the<br />
computer by the floppy drive. The<br />
next hurdle will be powering your<br />
external drives (external meaning<br />
outside the case of your <strong>Amiga</strong>) -<br />
you could use bare internal<br />
drives so long as you can power<br />
them. Golden Image can supply<br />
boxes with power supplies for<br />
your drives. In our tests with the<br />
Al200 we used externally-placed<br />
internal drives powered from a<br />
MicroniK external power supply,<br />
which now seems to be very hard<br />
to get hold of. Golden Image also<br />
offer a powered PC tower casing<br />
option for extra drives<br />
,<br />
Conclusion<br />
This is just the kind of little widget<br />
that has kept the <strong>Amiga</strong> a viable<br />
platform for many users, and it's<br />
bound to solve many people's<br />
storage and CD problems in a<br />
single hit. If you're reaching the<br />

this is the perfect solution. You<br />
get to keep what you've got and<br />

have two hard drives and a CD-<br />

highly recommended. •<br />

AWeb uses the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
datatypes to decode in-line<br />
images, similar to other <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
browsers. This means the<br />
pictures must be totally downloaded<br />
before they are decoded<br />
and displayed. It also means that<br />
an AWeb user will have to ensure<br />
hetshe is well up to date with the<br />
latest GIF and JPEG datatypes_<br />
Also AWeb takes the unusual<br />
approach of caching the raw<br />
image data after the GIFsfJPEGs<br />
have been decoded. The advantage<br />
of this is that navigating<br />

is that it takes up a lot of<br />

'<br />
the justification/ alignment of<br />
images and text. Support for<br />
'tables' has also been added<br />
N<br />
"<br />
according 0 the image height which is a powerful HTML feature<br />
"<br />
e-<br />
, vicith tags • which means the<br />
r :age<br />
r.<br />
doesn't need to refresh as<br />
•<br />
each image is loaded. Part of the<br />
A<br />
increasingly used on the Web.<br />
Unfortunately though there's still<br />
no proper 'frames' support<br />
W<br />
e-<br />
:laces a box frame where<br />
b ctures should be. AWeb<br />
ioes n the same. This is before the<br />
Tables support<br />
Like AWeb IBrowse supports<br />
tables though sadly not frames.<br />
pictures o are loaded so the layout<br />
is<br />
w<br />
identical to the end product<br />
• the pictures.<br />
l<br />
Trus makes for very easy<br />
'eading<br />
a<br />
with no text rewrapping<br />
in ythe<br />
middle of picture down-<br />
Tables are a nice feature of HTML<br />
which allows text to be laid out in<br />
columns boxed out in the display.<br />
It makes for superb page design<br />
and browsers which can't support<br />
tables have a serious problem as<br />
loading. s The boxes are filled in by<br />
the Opictures<br />
'progressively' as<br />
they cannot display many fancy<br />
commercial sites.<br />
they u are downloaded. If you're<br />
lucky t enough to be viewing a site<br />
Nth<br />
t<br />
special interlaces or progressively<br />
saved GIFs/JPEGs then the<br />
pictures h will actually resolve from<br />
a every<br />
low resolution progressive<br />
,ly land quickly) to a higher<br />
resolution until finally they are finished<br />
loading. However, one of<br />
the major reasons this system<br />
was invented in the first place<br />
was to avoid unnecessary screen<br />
refreshes as the display is altereo<br />
to fit the pictures. IBrowse<br />
totally misses this point and<br />
Frames support still doesn't<br />
Coming into focus<br />
refreshes the screen annoyingly One of IBrowse's great features is its<br />
anyway. After AWeb's clarity this capability to load images progressively. This<br />
Decomes tiring.<br />
means that as they download they are<br />
Instead AWeb displays links at the<br />
top of the pages you can view<br />
each individual frame separately.<br />
FTP support isn't built in either<br />
but is provided as an add-on in<br />
the package in the form of the<br />
PD FTP Mount, However, AWeb<br />
has another PD utility to save Out<br />
VVVVVV pages as text which<br />
works adequately but I'd be happier<br />
if these were built into the<br />
browser. Unfortunately, it's necessary<br />
to set up a few of the external<br />
programs for Mail-To:<br />
operation, text editing. HTML<br />
source viewing etc. as the<br />
defaults will rarely be of use.<br />
AWeb needs many of those<br />
functions included internally<br />
as standard.<br />
Nice stets<br />
The speed AWeb retrieves pages<br />
at is very good and it's adept at<br />
opening multiple connections to a<br />
web site to download in-line<br />
images in parallel, making the<br />
best use of available bandwidth.<br />
Another nice touch is a network<br />
statistics window which,<br />
exist but as with AWeb small links<br />
are made to display the contents<br />
of each of the frames in turn. The<br />
!Browse authors have informed<br />
me that frames support is indeed<br />
corning arid it would be relatively<br />
easy to implement under the MUI<br />
system. What's more, Usenet<br />
news reading would be implemented<br />
at the same time so that<br />
the separate frames could control<br />
the news reader in the same way<br />
PRODUCT TEST<br />
the best progress display I've<br />
seen on any browser — watching<br />
it keeps you happily entertained<br />
and amused during the downloading<br />
phase.<br />
The preferences aspect of<br />
AWeb is handled better than the<br />
previous versions too, with separate<br />
pages being divided into<br />
browser, program, network and<br />
ClassAct settings. The latter is the<br />
GUI system AWeb uses which<br />
can be loosely described as a<br />
poor man's MUL Unlike MUI<br />
browsers, AWeb can be told to<br />
open on its own screen very<br />
quickly from inside the settings.<br />
Options such as the on-disk<br />
cache, proxies and other technical<br />
whiz bits are also easily set up.<br />
Cache flushing is easy to reach<br />
via a menu of its own, as is<br />
Cominued overledi t<br />
,<br />
as the PC's Netscape does.<br />
IBrowse is not only a MUI<br />
application, it's an incredibly<br />
advanced MUI application and it<br />
comes as standard with MUI 3.5<br />
bundled. This version has actually<br />
been created based on collaboration<br />
between Omnipresence and<br />
MUI's author.<br />

images automatically to loading<br />
manually which many people prefer<br />
to enable fast navigation<br />
around the Net.<br />
AWeb has good bookmark sk_ip<br />
port which adds links from your<br />
favourite pages to a special<br />
hotlists page for fast renavigation<br />
to favourite sites. It also has a<br />
very handy option which brings up<br />
a list of most of the common Weh<br />
searchers and allows you to execute<br />
a search without bothering to<br />
go to the sites themselves.<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> friendly<br />
A major advantage of AVVeb is<br />
that since AWeb doesn't use MUI<br />
A i Brume is a great browser. HO bV EW et, it pie of<br />
Mill makes it impossible to oat on Amigos with 2Mh_<br />
even be relocated to the side of<br />
the page by simply dragging the<br />
entire button bank! This is a<br />
superb feature as screens are<br />
always wider than web pages so<br />
no vertical space is<br />
-navigation<br />
buttons. Once I had<br />
wasted<br />
made use of this feature and<br />
moved the buttons to the side of<br />
o n<br />
the screen, I wondered how I got<br />
along without it before.<br />
Email and FTP facilities are<br />
built in to !Browse. If they're set<br />
up correctly (which is quick and<br />
easy) in the lovely MUI<br />
preferences pages then they can<br />
be forgotten about from then on,<br />
it can be light on memory<br />
resources. When used with<br />
AmiTCP (Miami is an MUI<br />
application), it would allow a basic<br />
2Mb machine to get on-line without<br />
too much difficulty. However,<br />
it's going to be slow and not very<br />
colourful as greater colour depths<br />
will require more than 2Mb,<br />
Surprisingly. AWeb actually<br />
incorporates a print function that<br />
performs a graphical dump of the<br />
page currently being displayed. To<br />
my knowledge this is the only<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> browser to do this and it's<br />
a most welcome addition. There's<br />

Features e<br />
!Browse supports e Client Side<br />
Image Maps l though sadly Only<br />
the RECT shape. Again see the<br />
Wired World s tutorial on this subject<br />
last month.<br />
e<br />
I was told the<br />
authors would w 'look into' implementing<br />
full hCSIM<br />
support soon.<br />
It also supports e AnimGIFs and<br />
again is the r only browser to do<br />
so. This facility e is another major<br />
feature which has increasing sup-<br />
.<br />
port in WWW land so that without<br />
this facility much will be<br />
missed from modern web sites.<br />
See the Wired World tutorial this<br />
month on AnimGIFs for more.<br />
There's another nice IBrowse<br />
feature in a magic menu-like<br />
even an option to turn off printing<br />
of any background images to<br />
make the text much easier to read.<br />
Unlike IBrowse, AWeb chooses<br />
to sport its documentation on disk<br />
in the form of HTML pages which<br />
can always be accessed by pressing<br />
the Help key. The quality of<br />
the documentation is superb with<br />
a main index and several crossreferenced<br />
links. I would have<br />
liked to have seen some in-line<br />
images showing the various<br />
aspects in play within the document<br />
but such as it is. there's little<br />
to fault the superb on-line help.<br />
behaviour when using the right<br />
mouse button with the mouse<br />
inside the HTML page. You could<br />
selectively load the image in (if<br />
loading of images wasn't set on<br />
automatic). It could be copied<br />
elsewhere. If it was a link, a link<br />
may be added hotlink added via<br />
Browse's superb hot-link manager.<br />
It's even possible to select the<br />
link and launch a new IBrowse<br />
window at the link while the original<br />
page stays where it is. This is<br />
truly gorgeous!<br />
Memory usage<br />
'Browse is one hell of a browser.<br />
However it's heavy dependence<br />
on MUI makes it impossible to<br />
run in 2Mb of memory. One<br />
aspect of MUI which is often<br />
overlooked by the memory conscious<br />
is that once the core<br />
libraries are loaded, they are<br />
shared by the various MUI<br />
clients. Using an Internet set-up<br />
based on MUI applications such<br />
as 'Browse, YAM, AmFTP, AmIRC<br />
and Miami would actually be<br />
more efficient than running<br />
Gadtools based programs.<br />
In operation !Browse is staggeringly<br />
fast at presenting what's<br />
happening right away and image<br />
decoding with its highly opti-<br />
The AWeb-II package comes<br />
with a variety of utilities but<br />
virtually all of them are really to<br />
add a function which really should<br />
have been included in the browser<br />
initially_ Only the HTML Heaven<br />
MVO/ helper package is notable,<br />
as this is a quality package and a<br />
welcome addition if you're looking<br />
to make your own pages. AWeb is<br />
a stable and efficient W\AAA1<br />
browser which the <strong>Amiga</strong> has<br />
been in need of for some time.<br />

Anthony Brice packed up his<br />
troubles in his old kit bag and went<br />
off in search of what the world of<br />
public domain had to offer- Here's<br />
what he came back with.<br />
Revolution<br />
AGA demo<br />
This is an interesting demo I<br />
picked up on my travels.<br />
It's actually been written by a•<br />
few English guys which is,<br />
as far as I'm aware, quite rare<br />
these days, as most of<br />
the demo stuff seems to<br />
come from abroad.<br />
Revolution is pretty standard<br />
fare, but it's all done nicely and all of the stillscreens<br />
used as a backdrop for the vector balls and<br />
doughnut routines are pretty tasty. I recognised one of<br />
them from the movie Hackers that came and went a few<br />
months back. Also worth mentioning is the funky music<br />
track, complete with metallic voice screaming the<br />
demo's title at you when you first fire it up. It sounds a<br />
bit like the Pet Shop Boys - no bad thing - and kept me<br />
watching quite a while after the effects had finished as<br />
it played in the background.<br />
There are few better intros out there for those<br />
who really get into them, but for the casual observer,<br />
this One's<br />
definitely well<br />
worth viewing.<br />

Defy 6, (I presume there were a previous five issues<br />
of the magazine), is an Australian 'Scene' magazine that<br />
goes a lot further than a lot of the other efforts that<br />
concentrate on purely <strong>Amiga</strong> related material and has a<br />
huge variety of articles covering other interesting material<br />
as well. For example, there are pieces on degrading<br />
your system for running poorly written demos that<br />
won't work with all <strong>Amiga</strong>s, an interesting read on IRC<br />
and information for good <strong>Amiga</strong> places as well as a<br />
reply to Aminet's controversial decision to ban the use<br />
of DMS archives.<br />
Apart from <strong>Amiga</strong>-related material, there's also<br />
some stuff on PGP, a great piece on humourous<br />
answer-phone messages and much more than I can fit<br />
into this space. I could have done without some of the<br />
more poorly written articles by the dedicated 'scene'<br />
writers, but the good stuff far outweighs the bad. This<br />
i s greatstuff<br />
indeed! It's<br />
definitely well<br />
worth taking a<br />
look at.<br />

And now for something just a little bit different. For<br />
those with a little taste for the extraordinary, have a<br />
look at this. However, if you're offended by anything<br />
taking a poke at religion<br />
then leave it alone.<br />
Amongst the messages<br />
regarding the supposed<br />
bad-vibes in the scene right<br />
now, you're treated to<br />
exploding hari-krishnas.<br />

Some of us may find this<br />
amusing, but others not. If<br />
nothing else, this demo is<br />
different even though the<br />
music is a bit repetitive.<br />
Look up there! <strong>Is</strong> it a bird? A plane? No, it's a harikrishna<br />
on a parachute. If you don't know what I'm<br />
talking about yet, get this demo and you'll get the idea.<br />

GA demo<br />
t last a themed demo. Too many of the recent batch<br />
ave all been just fancy graphical effects bolted into a<br />
ew sequences to show off new ideas without any real<br />
hought in presenting them in any themed manor. OK, so<br />
hat's probably not really the idea of creating a demo in<br />
he first place but it certainly makes a change and<br />
evered gets praise for that as well as being pretty neat<br />
n its own right. Apparently it also won second prize at a<br />
onvention called Abduction 96 as well which should<br />
rove its pedigree as a worthwhile download despite<br />
eing nearly 2Mb in size. Set in a medieval theme,<br />
evered opens with a castle backdrop and several renered<br />
images of helmets, axe handles and the like doing<br />
he rotation thang. The backdrop changes every few<br />
bjects to relieve the samey-feeling with suitable pictures<br />
for the setting such as ornamental<br />
scrolls and between<br />
these effects there's a short<br />
• s l i d e s h o w of some very nice<br />
aga hand-drawn artwork<br />
which is more than pleasing<br />
to the eye. Cut to the end<br />
and the music changes<br />
tempo to a dramatic piece<br />

Silly Stories<br />
word game<br />
A regular <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine reader,<br />
Paul Riggs, has<br />
come up with a<br />
very entertaining<br />
game called Silly<br />
Stories which will<br />
run on any <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
with 1Mb of<br />
memory. Written in<br />
Amos, Silly Stories lets you type in a list of words which<br />
it will then output into a story for you, which, depending<br />
on your choice of words, can create very funny results. I<br />
had great fun playing around with it, and, due to Paul's<br />
clever idea of storing multiple banks of words which you<br />
can store on disk and recreate classics at a moments<br />
notice, there's potential here for a lot of laughs. Think of<br />
the fun you could have especially when there's a group<br />
of you playing the game who have just come back from<br />
the pub. And no, we at <strong>CU</strong> have no wish to learn what<br />
words you use after all-night drinking.<br />
Another clever idea in the game is the use of different<br />
templates that use your words, such as the history<br />
lesson and diary. These add long-term appeal and playing<br />
around with the game is great fun due to the multiple<br />
silly samples playing in the background which had me in<br />
stitches. Very good fun, especially with a group of you<br />
competing to see who's is best. And<br />
remember: no swearing!<br />

AGA demo<br />
To date this ranks as<br />
the most bizzare demo<br />
I've ever seen. I<br />
recommend you take a<br />
look but you are going<br />
to need a reasonablespec<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> to be able<br />
to run it. The file alone<br />
uncompressed is over<br />
two and a half<br />
megabytes and needs<br />
an 030 machine with<br />
an extra 4Mb of fast<br />
RAM. If you qualify then grab this and see what it does<br />
for you.<br />
Television is, according to its creators Bizzare Arts,<br />
an experiment in overlaying demo effects across video<br />
output. It looks like they've used grabs from movies<br />
here for the backdrops as there are scans of cars skidding<br />
and market places, although they must have had a<br />
video camera for some of the work as they put themselves<br />
into the film.<br />
Very drab colours are deliberately used on this<br />
footage to make it stand out and combined with the<br />
creepy music which I thought was superb, its a very<br />
impressive piece of work. Well worth a look if you're<br />
after something a little different from<br />
8810<br />
the run-of-the-mill effects these days.<br />

From art through to Arexx there's something for<br />
This is not, as the title would lead you to believe, a<br />
compilation of tools for the Internet. However, this disk<br />
has been obviously designed to have something that<br />
appeals to everyone.<br />
For a start, AMOS owners will like<br />
e<br />
it as there is an<br />
assembler for the serious code-heads as well as a<br />
starfield generator for shoot 'em up lovers.<br />
Unsurprisingly there is yet another new Trashcan (why<br />
do they keep writing these things?) similar to the<br />
Macintosh one which stores deleted files like a cache so<br />
you can access recently deleted files if you decide not<br />
to kill them after all. We also have AppMore, which performs<br />
specific functions with particular files when<br />
dropped onto its window, similar in style to Class Action<br />
(reviewed last month) but not as pretty.<br />
As well as a disk tester there are a couple of disk<br />
tools as well, namely DosPrefs, which lets you use Unix<br />
wildcards and enable 'no-click' on floppy drives. Finally<br />
there is a module to sample conversion tool along with<br />
a Prime Factor generator which shows prime factorisations<br />
of given numbers, nl, n2 etc. Exactly what the<br />
doctor ordered.<br />

Ever dabbled in ARexx programming? If not then skip<br />
past now. The same goes for those of you who hate<br />
Magic User Interface.<br />
Still here? Good. MUIRexx lets you create front-end<br />
GU<strong>Is</strong> using the powerful features of MUI with simple<br />
ARexx scripts. A lot of programs now offer an ARexx<br />
port, allowing them to be remotely controlled from<br />
script files. This is ideal for automating tedious tasks<br />
such as image processing and batch operations.<br />
It is actually possible to create full applications<br />
using MUIRexx, as the example demos prove but most<br />
people will probably use it purely to generate GUI<br />
front ends for scripts that control larger applications.<br />
To make life easier there's even a builder program to<br />
help you create the front end GUI so you can put the<br />
rest of the script into place later on. Have a look at the 1<br />
pictures here to see the results you can achieve.<br />
MUIRexx doesn't yet support all of the functions within<br />
MUI but there's enough to be going on with. Be<br />
warned that you need to read the docs and give it<br />
some time before you get really good results. Requires<br />
0S3.04-. Very highly recommended.<br />

Of Mice and Mem<br />
mice and memory tools<br />
Another compilation<br />
disk, and<br />
what a great<br />
title. I booted this<br />
up expecting<br />
some badly<br />
spelled text file of<br />
the works of<br />
Charles Dickens<br />
but soon caught<br />
on. Of Mice and<br />
Mom is actually a<br />
group of useful<br />
tools and hacks relating to mice and memory, along with a<br />
program for handling assign requesters which seems<br />
strangely out of place.<br />
The stuff here ranges from standard tools for displaying<br />
available memory, of which there are several, and a<br />
couple of handy commands for redirecting where the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> looks for mouse input so you use the joystick port<br />
if you've broken the original.<br />
There are a couple of small hacks including one that<br />
lets you emulate a middle mouse button from the keyboard,<br />
and a very strange program that gobbles all your<br />
memory - useful for testing applications in low-memory<br />
environments. Personally I would just use MUI for that<br />
kind of task. It's rather good at it.<br />
Overall there's not much here that you can't do with<br />
one of the commodities such as MCP or MultiCX, but it's<br />
a good compilation in its own right if you ever have<br />
problems with either of the two subjects covered, as one<br />
of the programs may be able to help you out.<br />

The Internet Movie<br />
Database (INIDb), is the<br />

Internet. It is an international<br />
operation aimed<br />
at providing up to<br />

available on-line across<br />
as many systems as<br />
73 0,0<br />
possible. It currently covers over 80,000 different<br />
movies. The database contains more than 1,000,000<br />
filmography entries and expands continuously. For movie<br />
information, no other source of data even comes close to<br />
it yet.<br />
Look Out for version four of the browser which<br />
promises a lot of new features and should be with us<br />
soon according to the author. Naturally<br />
only film-nerds, like me, need apply.<br />

for its creation. Easy enough to use, it has some nice<br />
graphical tools that usually only show up in superior<br />
commercial art packages such as Brilliance. However, it<br />
sluggish to use and the GUI is unfriendly.<br />
Among the effects on offer are the usual freehand<br />
bits with lines, boxes, pattern-fills and circles. You also<br />
have more interesting effects like blur, spray and<br />
shapes, using triangle and rhombus which appear to be<br />
unique. You can even overlay startields which suggests<br />
that these ideas have been bolted on through revisions<br />
as the author came up with them.<br />
There are some options generally associated with<br />
more advanced software, like brushes (you can flick<br />
between nine that are stored in memory, which is<br />
clever) but there are major flaws. Changing screen<br />
modes results in the loss of the current picture, there's<br />
no spare screen and you're limited to IFF formats without<br />
AGA.<br />
The documentation claims you can use HAM and later<br />
contradicts itself stating that it's not possible. It seems<br />
the latter is correct which is a shame as it limits the<br />
program severely. I can't really see much appeal for this<br />
in its current state but there is potential here if more<br />
work is put into it. Features like datatypes, multiple<br />
screen modes and AGA support are essential.<br />

Despite the horrible 051.3 interface built around scripts<br />
and aged display tools to present info the information in<br />
this disk is well worth it. This is a veritable gold-mine for<br />
the technically-minded who want to improve their Amigos<br />
and don't mind getting their hands dirty. Be warned that<br />
the tutorials here are not for novice <strong>Amiga</strong> users, or people<br />
with no understanding of electronics, as most work<br />
entails breaking warranties by opening the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
These tutorials are mainly text files, some with simple<br />
IFF diagrams, covering fitting 3.5 inch hard drives into<br />
Al2003 and using PC input devices like mice and joysticks.<br />
And there's a lot more. Those who revel in this<br />
kind of project will love Helping Hands.<br />
Some of the text is a bit out-dated now, but I could<br />
have used it myself for the hard drive info a couple of<br />
years back. Recommended provided you can live with the<br />
horrible interface.<br />

Welcome to the<br />
section of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine dedicated<br />
to all things CD.<br />
We kick off this<br />
month with a look<br />
at a CD-writing<br />
software and hard-<br />
ware combination,<br />
MasteriS0 and the<br />
Hewlett Packard<br />
40201: the gear<br />
used to create this<br />
month's Super CD<br />
ROM 4 and the previous<br />
two before<br />
that. Prices of CD-R<br />
drives are dropping<br />
like stones and<br />
there's all the soft-<br />
ware you need to<br />
do the whole thing<br />
from your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
CD-ROM Scene<br />
this month <strong>Is</strong><br />
dominated by DTP.<br />
There's DTP<br />
Toolbox which sees<br />
a re-release for<br />
ProPage 4.0, a new<br />
print designer in<br />
the form of Print<br />
Studio Pro and we<br />
take a sneak peek<br />
at a new drawing<br />
package called<br />
Draw Studio.<br />
You'll also fi nd a<br />

PRODUCT TEST<br />
HP4020i Et<br />
NiasterISO<br />
• For price and details see box to the right<br />
Mastering your own CDs is lot<br />
easier than you think once you have<br />
the right tools. We test two here.<br />
CDs and now they're<br />
the ultimate standard<br />
0 ime's for reproducing moved on large for<br />
quantities of data cheaply. They're<br />
mostly read only but there are CD<br />
Writers (CD-R decks) which can<br />
write to their own special 'Gold'<br />
disks worth about a tenner a shot.<br />
The HP4020i is one such CD-R<br />
deck and operates as a quad speed<br />
read and a double speed writer.<br />
The HP4020i is a SCSI unit,<br />
though you'll need a quick SCSI<br />
interface to use it if the source<br />
drive and the CD-R are on the save<br />
controller. It's not so much of a<br />
problem if the source drive is on<br />
your IDE interface so that it doesn't<br />
use the same SCSI bus. Note,<br />
once CD-Rs get on a roll recording<br />
data, they must not be interrupted<br />
for even a second or the recording<br />
will be irretrievably<br />
lost.<br />
Design wise the HP4020i is a<br />
standard looking CD-ROM drive<br />
with two status lights on the front<br />
panel. One indicates readANrite<br />
operations while the other is a<br />
general status indicator.<br />
MasterISO<br />
Only PC software is supplied with<br />
the HP so you'll need a copy of<br />
Asimware's MasterISO package<br />
which performs the dual tasks of<br />
creating an ISO disk image and<br />
writing the image to the CD-R.<br />
CD-ROMs don't use an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
filesystern, they use a filesystem<br />
called ISO 9660. The only reason<br />
CDs work on the <strong>Amiga</strong> is because<br />
CD drivers have an ISO 9660 file<br />
system built in_<br />
MasterISO must read the entire<br />
source material for the CD and create<br />
an ISO image file. This means<br />
the ISO file will be slightly larger<br />
than all of the' source material.<br />
If burning a full CD<br />
you'd need a 650Mb<br />
partition for<br />
the<br />
original<br />
data<br />
and a<br />
Ws.<br />
•t<br />
700Mb partition or so<br />
for the source files.<br />
Don't buy a large drive<br />
since building the<br />
image will trash the<br />
heads about and take<br />
quite a long time two<br />
drives are better.<br />
MasterISO only<br />
guarantees certain CD-<br />
R, SCSI controller and<br />
hard drive combinations<br />
will work while<br />
others will carry an ele-<br />
ment of risk. As a rule if the units<br />
match or exceed the specifications<br />
there shouldn't be a problem. Asim<br />
recommend such controllers as<br />
the Fastlane and DKB 4091 Zorro<br />
III SCSI controller. Add on SCSI<br />
modules for accelerators should<br />
be suitable and perhaps even<br />
some of the quicker Zorro II units.<br />
The PCMCIA Squirrel or Surf<br />
Squirrel units, however, are not of<br />
high enough specification.<br />
Burning gold<br />
VVe use the HP4020i with an<br />
A4000T arid its built in 4091 SCSI<br />
controller. The hard drives are high<br />
specification but relatively cheap<br />
Seagate Medialist models. Building<br />
a full 650Mb image takes some<br />
time even with a 68060 machine.<br />
Around 15-20 minutes is the norm.<br />
The length of a CD is measured in<br />
minutes and seconds, the time<br />
taken to write to it is its length<br />
divided by two.<br />
Audio tracks can also be writ<br />
ten but first 16-bit 44KHz stereo<br />
sample files must be converted<br />
– t o raw CDDA format in the<br />
Noah same way as building an<br />
ISO image. However,<br />
Asimware say that this limitation<br />
will be removed from<br />
the next version of<br />
MasterISO. Mixed CDs have<br />
the data ISO file loaded as<br />
track one and the audio<br />
tracks loaded after.<br />
MasterISO sadly has a<br />

MastettS0 is die softwous tint you'll cooed to two lootitel your ovio CDs<br />
kludgy user interface which<br />
gurued when I tried to run it under<br />
my CGraphX RTG system. It's best<br />
to run MasterISO by booting with<br />
no startup-sequence; the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
multitasking nature may take away<br />
valuable CPU time from the<br />
process of writing to the CD. It<br />
also cures any problems running<br />
on RTG systems.<br />
Conclusion<br />
MasterISO is not cheap, but it<br />
works well. Hopefully with a<br />
MasterISO update some of the<br />
more complex aspects of making<br />
CDs such as placing track markers<br />
in the middle of audio data<br />
will be implemented. Until then,<br />
if you want to get into CD writing<br />
on the <strong>Amiga</strong>. this combination<br />
is about the only option and<br />
thankfully it's quite competent.<br />

Here's a brief taster of a new package on the way from the authors of<br />
Texture Studio and Image Studio. Andy and Graham Dean have been at it<br />
again and this time they've come up with a<br />
structured drawing package that aims to<br />
knock spots off the competition. Draw Studio<br />
promises a list of features including various<br />
types of filled text Iincluding bitmap patterns),<br />
text wrapping on curves, structured<br />
drawing tools, bitmap and structured combinations,<br />
transparent colours, exporting as<br />
•<br />
EPS, aspect ratio corrected display<br />

and lots more. For now here's some<br />

release on floppy and CD-<br />

Printers eh? Don't you just love 'em? As<br />
well as using them for all straightforward<br />
jobs like printing out invoices with<br />
a little bit of imagination you can put<br />
your printer to all kinds of uses.<br />
And what with the low cost of colour<br />
printers these days, it seems a shame<br />
not to adorn your possessions and<br />
stationery with customised logos<br />
and frills.<br />
Print Studio Pro, the main program<br />
on this CD, is a kind of DTP system<br />
that's specifically designed for desk top<br />
printing, rather than publishing. By<br />
combing text, structured drawing and<br />
clip art elements you can build up<br />
pages of labels, forms, letterheads,<br />
coversheets and all hat sort of thing.<br />
It's pretty simple<br />
to use. Once<br />
you've set up<br />
your page you<br />
can then import<br />
your various elements<br />
and<br />
arrange them on<br />
Welcome to the<br />
CD-ROM theme<br />
party. This time<br />
it's drawing<br />
cene<br />
and DTP. Anyone<br />
care for a<br />
sausage roll?<br />
the screen using the standard DIP-style<br />
boxes and handles. As you've 'probably<br />
guessed already, there's a load of clip<br />
art and fonts on the CD to get you<br />
started. In<br />
fact there's more than enough just to<br />
get you started, there's enough to<br />
keep you pumping Out those labels<br />
for months.<br />
Although you could do most of<br />
this with a good DTP program, Print<br />
Studio Pro is better suited to the job<br />
because it's not cluttered up with<br />
unnecessary options and memoryguzzling<br />
features. If you want to get the<br />
most from your printer, Print Studio Pro<br />
is very highly recommended.<br />

Since it absorbed Just <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Monthly magazine into its own<br />
EM magazine, LH Publishing has<br />
been the undisputed nerve centre<br />
of <strong>Amiga</strong> DTP LH's main man<br />
Larry Hickmott will be familiar to<br />
most DIP enthusiasts, if not<br />
from EM magazine then surely<br />
from his DTP tutorials that seem<br />
pto<br />
have found their way into just<br />
about every <strong>Amiga</strong> magazine on<br />
the shelves. It's fitting then that<br />
they've compiled this highly worthy<br />
slab at an all-in-one DTP<br />
solution CD-ROM.<br />
Top of the bill is a complete<br />
fully functioning version of<br />
Professional Page 4.1. This<br />
acclaimed DTP package may not<br />
have seen anything much in the<br />
way of development over the last<br />
few years, it's still a sound piece<br />
of software and it works too,<br />
which is always a bonus. As is<br />
always the case with advanced<br />
DTP software, you'll need a fast<br />
CPU to get it working at a reasonable<br />
speed, otherwise you'll<br />
find yourself spending quite a<br />
while watching the screen redraw.<br />
This is not the fastest bit of software<br />
your <strong>Amiga</strong> has ever seen -<br />
a good 030 or faster CPU is recommended.<br />
While it's not in the<br />
same league as the Apple Mac's<br />
Quark Xpress it's still capable of<br />
producing professional documents,<br />
even entire magazines if<br />
your <strong>Amiga</strong> has enough speed,<br />
RAM and hard drive space.<br />
All in one<br />
There's no printed documentation<br />
for ProPage or any of the<br />
software on the CD which could<br />
present a problem for newcomers.<br />
However, you do get some<br />
comprehensive help in the form<br />
of an <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide document<br />
which tours the main areas of the<br />
program along with some quickstart<br />
tips.<br />
Running at a far more manageable<br />
speed there's a cut<br />
down version of Final Writer<br />
included on the disc, Final Writer<br />
ImageStudio el1994 1995 Andy Dean<br />
o I Co-ords lqb<br />
ar ightness<br />
Lite. While this isn t as capable<br />
as Professional Page . when it<br />
comes to big documents with all<br />
j<br />
the trimmings, for less adventurous<br />
newsletters and Gpresenta<br />
tions it's fine. Somewhere<br />
r<br />
between a full-blown DIP package<br />
and a word processor, e it's a<br />
lot quicker and easier e to use,<br />
with less demanding system<br />
requirements. The n interface is<br />
nice too, taking in elements I of<br />
Magic User Interface without<br />
actually using it. If d you want<br />
something to knock Bout<br />
neat<br />
looking documents with no fuss<br />
you can't go wrong l with it.<br />
An update to Professional u<br />
Draw version 3.03 from version<br />
3.0 is also included. e Professional<br />
Draw 3.0 was included . on the<br />
May 1995 cover disks of <strong>CU</strong><br />
2<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine and this update<br />
fixes it for AGA compatibility. 1 If<br />
you don't have that cover disk or<br />
1<br />
the original program, LH<br />
Publishing say they / have a few<br />
back copies of that . they can<br />
supply. Professional Draw is a<br />
structured drawing 1companion<br />
program to Professional 1 Page.<br />
Those are the main players<br />
on the CD but there's 1 also a<br />
supporting cast of 1smaller<br />
programs<br />
and tools that are bound<br />
to come in handy. Directory 1<br />

everyone's first choice of a file<br />
manager but it's quite capable of<br />
sorting out those day to day jobs.<br />
Pull together<br />
On the image processing front<br />
there's Image Studio and GFX<br />
Lab. Neither of them are in the<br />
league of Photogenics but<br />
together they make a surprisingly<br />
powerful team, so long as you<br />
use the strong points of each<br />
program. GFX Lab comes<br />
equipped with an impressive<br />
array of special effects processes,<br />
while Image Studio is a good<br />
workhorse application especially<br />
for re-colouring, re-sizing and<br />
general re-formatting of images<br />
Nat Bettinson swears by it). GFX<br />
Lab can be a bit temperamental<br />
though, especially if you try to<br />
run it straight from the CD.<br />
Fonts and pictures are<br />
some of the main beneficiaries<br />
of the enormous capacity of CD-<br />
ROM. There's around 110Mb of<br />
fonts and about 230Mb of pictures,<br />
That should keep you<br />
going for a bit. The rest of the<br />
CD is filled with all kinds of<br />
useful bits and pieces, like printer<br />
drivers, archivers, ARexx<br />
macros, PageStream 3 updates<br />

One unique aspect of this CD<br />
is that every one ordered is specially<br />
cut onto a gold CD. This<br />
has allowed LH Publishing to<br />
offer a special service to all customers.<br />
Anyone who orders the<br />
DTP Toolbox CD can have I up to<br />
ten floppy disks' worth of their<br />
own software included on the CD<br />
for no extra charge. More can be<br />
included for an additional fee.<br />
If you're short of a good DTP<br />
and word processing package<br />
this should make an attractive<br />
option. With Professional Page<br />
as the main attraction, if you've<br />
already got yourself setup with<br />
ProPage or PageStream the rest<br />
of the CD is unlikely to tempt<br />
you at this price. However, considering<br />
what you get for your<br />
cash DIP Toolbox represents a<br />
good value DIP package on one<br />
neat little gold CD.<br />

BE CAREFUL<br />
OUT THERE!<br />
A senior member of the maggot<br />
community has repeated warnings that<br />
a significant number (If angling<br />
hotspots are being identified each week<br />
by the leading angling newspaper.<br />
Commenting on the reports he said,<br />
"I need to warn all maggots to steer<br />
clear of these danger zones or be<br />
prepared to face waters teeming with<br />
ravenous fish."<br />
Noting that Angling Times readers are<br />
generally better equipped and higher<br />
skilled than average anglers,<br />
he warned, _<br />
"This information is now in dangerous<br />
hands. These people will be<br />
bagging up."<br />
So the message is clear! Don't get<br />
caught in the wrong place at the wrong<br />
time, because Angling Times readers<br />

<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine's CDs have<br />
earned a reputation for being<br />
the best top quality <strong>Amiga</strong> CDs<br />
available. Here's why.<br />
How to use <strong>CU</strong>CD 4<br />
As with prior cover CDs, <strong>CU</strong>CD4 can be used either by<br />
booting on a CD32 or Al200/4000 with adequate CD32<br />
emulation. The CD will not boot under any Kickstart earlier<br />
than 3.0. If using the CD via Workbench and intending to<br />
run software directly off the CD then it's important to first<br />
click on the 'ink CD • icon. This sets up various assigns<br />
and makes MUI 3.6 temporarily available if it is not<br />
already installed.<br />
It's worth noting that running software directly from<br />
CD is a touch-and-go business. While we've gone to a lot<br />
of effort to make many programs run from the CD, others<br />
may have to be dragged to your hard drive either manually<br />
or by running an included installer. 'Init CD' also runs<br />
the New Icons patch so don't be surprised if the icons<br />
change afterwards.<br />
Aulit<br />
This month's best modules are<br />
Compuspace by Dominic Smart<br />
and OutWipe by Paradise Decay.<br />
OP bolo amp. k.e ONO Ok• • • • • • r n d<br />
•••••• min* Seq. Whim Co• ot<br />
CO-ROMS<br />
Compuspace is a four channel MED module and OutWipe is a<br />
Protracker module also only four channels proving you don't need<br />
multiple channel formats to sound superb. As last month, we've<br />
given the modules a subtle stereo image and then burned direct to<br />
CD as 44Khz 16bit audio. You can play the audio tracks either in your<br />
CD-ACM or a standard CD audio player but on the latter remember to<br />
avoid track 1 and go straight to track 2 for Compuspace and track 3<br />
for OutWipe.<br />
Have fun exploring <strong>CU</strong>CD4 and don't forget to send us any work of<br />
your own so we can include it on later CDs. Feel free to write into the<br />
magazine and tell us what you'd like to see on future CDs or how<br />
you'd like to see them organised. Address all letters to CD Editor.<br />
A word on demos and games<br />
Demos and games are almost never coded in a so-called OS Legal<br />
way. That means that while they may work for us, they might not<br />
work for you for several reasons. Either your hardware set-up is<br />
slightly different or some third party software running on your <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
may upset the demo or consume resources that the demo/game<br />
requires. Please do not assume the CD is simply 'faulty' if any of this<br />
software refuses to run.<br />
There are things you can do to make the software more likely to<br />
run. Closing down any running software, screens and such forth will<br />
free up resources. It might be better to cut to the chase and copy the<br />
demo/game onto your hard drive and then boot with no startup<br />
sequence. This involves resetting and holding down both mouse buttons,<br />
then press boot with no startup-sequence.<br />
You'll then be placed into the <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS shell so you'd need to<br />
know enough about that aspect of your <strong>Amiga</strong> to navigate to where<br />
the software is and run it. As a general rule, if the game or demo still<br />
doesn't work then it's incompatible with your machine. If you get a<br />
requester asking for a specific volume then the software needs<br />
'assigns' set up and so is fairly likely it has an installer that should<br />
have been run.<br />
Generally driving <strong>CU</strong>CDs is as simple as clicking on an icon of<br />
something you want to run, play, see etc. You should find it will<br />
automatically activate a player, viewer or run the program without<br />
further ado. Of course if you access <strong>CU</strong>CD from a directory utility.<br />
then you can use your own preference of players, viewers etc on<br />
the specific files.<br />
We can't emphasise enough the importance of clicking on any<br />
readme or other documentation files inside each directory. There's<br />
simply too much material for us to detail here so you'll have to<br />
explore, read the documentation and see if each program or whatev<br />
er is of use or interest to you.<br />

CD-ROMS<br />
What's<br />
When the Super CD 4 icon (called <strong>CU</strong>CD4) is opened from<br />
the Workbench, you'll see a smaller window than usual.<br />
This isn't because there's a lot less material, it's because<br />
this month's CD takes the different approach where the<br />
bulk of the material is in a separate '<strong>CU</strong>CD' drawer.<br />
<strong>CU</strong>CD4 root directory<br />
Magazine<br />
This month the Magazine directory contains four drawers. The<br />
Wired World directory contains WhirIGIF to go with the WiredWorld<br />
tutorial in this issue. It's also got a bumper collection of icon pictures<br />
for Web page use. There's also some example<br />
AnimGIFs and HTML creation packages including<br />
Vs/ebPlug and WebDesign. The PD Scene and P D<br />
Ut I s drawers contain the DMS and LHA<br />
archives of the software reviewed in PD<br />
Utilities and PD Scene this month. Finally the<br />
Psion directory contains the <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP<br />
Psion to <strong>Amiga</strong> networking package to go with !<br />
months Psion palmtop computer<br />
feature. What's more there's virtually<br />
every item of freely redistributable<br />
Psion software included too<br />
all in LZX archives.<br />
Workbench<br />
The same as previous Workbench<br />
versions installed on <strong>CU</strong>CDs. it's a<br />
full installation of Workbench at<br />
minus the ARexx distributions.<br />
Support<br />
This directory contains many of the support programs and<br />
utilities used to play and view the rest of the files on the CD.<br />
r<br />
i<br />
•<br />
n you!'<br />
iIt's similar to last month only this time<br />
the MUI installed is version 3.6 and a<br />
new Delitracker is included<br />
XCAD 2000<br />
This directory contains the full commercial<br />
release of XCAD 2000 2D and 3D. It<br />
can be run from the CD but would be better<br />
being dragged onto your hard drive,<br />
The <strong>CU</strong>CD drawer<br />
Demos<br />
This month we have a bumper collection of Scene Demos including the<br />
sequel to the <strong>CU</strong>CD2 massive Data World animation demo, Wild<br />
Summer. All of the Demos are unpacked and ready to run though they<br />
may need to be run by booting with no start-up sequence. Be sure to<br />
check the system requirements in any of the readme files present within<br />
the Demo drawers.<br />
Information<br />
In this directory there's a collection<br />
of text and <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide documents<br />
ranging from a ShapeShifter<br />
survey to an entire stand-alone Star<br />
Trek database.<br />
On-line<br />
Dedicated to Communications software,<br />
a few select packages have<br />
been included such as the latest<br />
version of the 97% rated Miami<br />
Internet software, the YAM and<br />
Voodoo Email clients and a voicemail<br />
package called SpeakFreely.

audio CD tracklists which when used with several audio CD player<br />
applications will automatically recognise CDs and allow you to add to<br />
the collection_<br />
Games<br />
Entertainment central with a collection of PD and demo games<br />
and the readers sent-in games to boot. As always we can't<br />
guarantee that they'll work on your particular <strong>Amiga</strong> so please<br />

Stars in your<br />
eyes but<br />
not in your<br />
animations.<br />
Here are three ways to<br />
create realistic-looking<br />
starfi eld effects.<br />
Solution one<br />
First, perhaps the most obviOus solution is to<br />
use a backdrop texture instead of the default<br />
star field objects. Depending on your artistic<br />
abilities or your access to NASA images, this<br />
can be a fantastically realistic way to spice up<br />
your images. Think of Babylon 5's lovely purple<br />
star clusters and how they stop the<br />
images looking dull.<br />
Here's how to add a backdrop to your<br />
images. Remember that a neat trick is to use<br />
a backdrop that you've rendered previously.<br />
This will save on rendering time.<br />
Step one<br />
Create a starry backdrop using either a paint<br />
program or by altering an existing image.<br />
There are plenty of NASA images around<br />
such as those taken from the Hubble Space<br />
Telescope which are extremely colourful. It is<br />
essential to keep the backdrop the same size<br />
as the final render, so if you plan on rendering<br />
images of different sizes it might be a good<br />
a<br />

space ships with Imagine, you will have<br />
no doubt come across quite an irritating<br />
problem: stars. They just don't look right.<br />
I Although the Globals menu in the Action<br />
editor f contains a star density setting, there are<br />
several y drawbacks with it. For example, stars<br />
won't o appear through transparent objects, are<br />
all u single pixels in size, are all pure white and<br />
refuse to animate properly.<br />
h<br />
To illustrate this, imagine (excuse the puns)<br />
that<br />
a<br />
you are animating a space ship flying past<br />
v<br />
e<br />
idea e to create a large backdrop (say 640 by<br />
512) v and scale it as needed (to 320 by 256<br />
for<br />
e<br />
example).<br />
r<br />
Step two<br />
t<br />
Create an Imagine project and after loading<br />
and r positioning your objects, go to the Action<br />
editor. i Open the Global settings and enter the<br />
path e and filename of the backdrop image.<br />
d<br />
Step t three<br />
Render<br />
o<br />
your project. You can use 256 or more<br />
colours if you like when creating the back-<br />
r<br />
drop and Imagine will automatically reduce<br />
e<br />
n<br />
d<br />
e<br />
r<br />
•<br />
the camera. The camera pans to follow the<br />
ship, but unfortunately the stars don't move as<br />
you pan so the illusion is ruined. And the fact<br />
that the stars are all single white pixels means<br />
that if you render something which you want<br />
to print later the stars come out either looking<br />
extremely boring and flat or even stand a very<br />
good chance of disappearing altogether<br />
Luckily, there are ways and means of avoiding<br />
these pitfalls with stars and I'm here to show<br />
you how,<br />
John Kennedy<br />
(or increase) the number of colours to suit the<br />
finished backdrop. Sometimes blurring the<br />
backdrop before you use it can produce very<br />
interesting results,<br />

Solution 2<br />
A backdrop might be OK for a still image but<br />
what happens when the camera changes posit*?<br />
Although you can animate<br />
-using<br />
multiple images, trying to keep in sync<br />
a with backdrop<br />
camera movement is nearly impossible.<br />
One exception would be a 3D star field<br />
moving towards the camera with an object.<br />
such as a space ship, static in the middle of<br />
the screen. You can create an animated star<br />
field using an Art Program such as Deluxe<br />
Paint, or try digitising the end credits to Star<br />
Trek TNG with ProGrab. By creating two animations,<br />
one with the stars moving into the centre<br />
of the screen, one with the stars moving<br />
towards the edges, you can create great chase<br />
scenes. Cut to a sequence with ship one,<br />
showing a view from above and behind, using<br />
the forward-looking star field. Then cut to a<br />
sequence of another ship, this time viewed<br />
from the front. The background stars are moving<br />
back into the centre. This gives the impression<br />
that the second ship is chasing the first.<br />
However, a simple backdrop doesn't really<br />
suit animation. The second approach is to take<br />
the background texture and map it onto an<br />
object which can be shaped to suit the animation<br />
movements. A short pan from left to right<br />
ight require a long rectangle. whilst a full 360<br />
degree rotation might mean that you will need<br />
to map your design into a solid sphere and<br />
position your objects inside. This technique<br />

also has the advantage of showing through<br />
transparent objects. Here's how to do it<br />
Step one<br />
Create an image for the background, it doesn't<br />
matter about the resolution. In Imagine's Detail<br />
editor create a primitive plane to map the texture<br />
on to. Change the size to suit the resolution<br />
of the picture (if the image is 320 by 256,<br />
make the plane 320 units wide and 256 units<br />
high) and change the default 10 units to 1.<br />
Step two<br />
Now select the plane's attributes and pick<br />
Brush maps. Pick the background texture and<br />
wo o C a n c e l .<br />
nal PIS Z O<br />
keep to the default settings. Make sure the<br />
Bright setting is on<br />
- drop this from being shaded and keep it uniform in<br />
wcolour. i l Now l save your backdrop object.<br />
p r e v e<br />
Step three<br />
n<br />
Turn<br />
t<br />
to the Stage editor and load in the Plane<br />
tobject. hScale e and position it behind the key<br />
bobjects a in your c scene, making sure you can't<br />
ksee the - edges. Don't use lights which cast<br />
shadows, although a Bright background object<br />
will be immune to shadows.<br />
Step four<br />
If you are being adventurous, you can use the<br />
transparent colour option to create several layers<br />
of backdrop for a bizarre parallax effect.<br />
Make the backdrop pattern a Filter map (in the<br />
Brushmap selection window) and use a pure<br />
white backdrop with areas of darker detail. The<br />
white areas will be transparent, the darker<br />
shades more opaque. Now add lots more layers<br />
and move them at different speeds for an<br />
'interesting' effect. Great for dream sequences<br />
and alien nebulous life forms.<br />

Solution three<br />
This final solution is my favourite, as it involves<br />
creating the entire universe as an Imagine<br />
object. As stars are really nothing more than<br />
points of light, there is absolutely nothing to<br />
stop you from creating several thousand small,<br />
bright objects. Nothing that is, except the<br />
three months it would take to do the job prop<br />
erly. Imagine creating an object, copying it,<br />
moving it and repeating it nine hundred and<br />
ninety nine times there just has to be an<br />
easier way.<br />
There is, although it's taken me several<br />
years to find it. I wish I had thought of it, but<br />
didn't: I read it on an old USENET posting so<br />
total respect to the genius who thought it up<br />
in the first place.<br />
Here is how to create your own universe in<br />
a minute or so. You will need a sensible<br />
amount of memory to cope with all this (as<br />
you might expect, the universe is a big place)<br />
so if you get weird crashes try investing in<br />
some more Simms. About 8Mb of Fast RAM<br />
and a quick 030 is good to start with.<br />
Step one<br />
In the detail editor, create a primitive Sphere<br />
object (hit F5 and select the default sphere).<br />
Alter the size so that it's about 1000 units<br />
in diameter.<br />

Step two<br />
Use the Object menu, pick Add and select<br />
Axis. This gives our sphere an Axis and<br />
makes it a 'proper' object.<br />
Step three<br />
Select both objects and use Join from the<br />
Object menu. Now select Make Path from<br />
the menu too. This changes the Sphere<br />
from an object, to a Path which objects can<br />
follow (this itself is a wonderful concept to<br />
play with!I<br />
Step four<br />
Now create a single star. The object has to<br />
be as small as possible and that means a<br />
miniature pyramid. Use the Cone primitive,<br />
like th<br />

Step five<br />
Alter the attributes of the star object so that<br />
iVs white and bright. Later on you can create<br />
star objects with different colours if you wish.<br />
Step six<br />
Now the fun part. Select the star object and<br />
then use the Functions menu, pick Mold and<br />
Replicate. Fill in the following settings (alter<br />
the 500 to a smaller number if you don't have<br />
much memory. Notice how the Sphere<br />
object is the path (it got renamed to Axis during<br />
the Join process)<br />

Finally, copy the stars and paste them back<br />

There's a couple of ways to do<br />
l<br />
-<br />
and It'll all be centered within the bounds of the CENTER tags.<br />
this, firstly there's a 'Netscapisni<br />
a<br />

What's more, there's another handy field animation can work wonders. Animating a small exactly how you do this really depends on the<br />

thlorinitately a stiliC screen grab call de this AaintGIF imstict The lighlaing bait shown here though the CV <strong>Amiga</strong> Inge dances mould courier, al iniagefX 2.6 and the .<br />
ramdomme b e t e l .<br />
!echnique is to set the palette to something<br />
..t•ich should cover all of the frames, load the<br />
-lages as brushes and remap the brushes to<br />
:le screen palette. PPaint and DPaint can deal<br />
this easily.<br />
WhirIGIF should be driven in the shell with<br />
hri<br />
et<br />
tdrIGIF hi -o animgif.gif -tins, 50<br />
frame2.gif<br />
ng<br />
l<br />
The file animgif.gif here is the output<br />
oimGIF<br />
and the value after '-time' is the<br />
o ount of time that each frame will be<br />
k played in ticks, so 50 is one second. The<br />
i input GIEs are then specified from first to<br />
nI.<br />
If the AnimGIF is to be transparent, the<br />
g<br />
sparent colour should be the same (ie the<br />
background) on all frames. An additional<br />
l<br />
,gument of '-trans followed by the number<br />
i the palette which is transparent, will<br />
k required. You can tell this from your<br />
nint e package.<br />
; It's even possible to specify the time<br />
.-able for each frame in case you want to<br />
a single frame displayed longer or shortthan<br />
the rest. In this case a full example<br />
ght look like this;<br />

GIFs and the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
It's a shame that the AnimGIF has appeared<br />
as the most common simple animation standard<br />
for the Web. Not only is it not a very efficient<br />
standard but it has the same legal<br />
voblems as the standard GIF format with the<br />
Unisys patent etc. This means it's increasingly<br />
hard to find new software which has support<br />
for the GIF file format built-in. Many, like<br />
Cloanto's Personal Paint and Nova Design's<br />
The resulting AnimGIF can really only<br />
be tested inside Browse so simply create an<br />
in-line graphic and specify the AnimGIE It's<br />
still a good idea to use the width and height<br />
tags, you may as well let the browser lay<br />
Out the pages correctly while it waits to load<br />
the AnimGIF.<br />
Billboard effect<br />
So what sort of things might AnimGIFs be<br />
used for? One common but simple method is<br />
to have just a few frames sporting some<br />
changing text banners. Done correctly, this<br />
looks like a kind of stadium billboard which is<br />
quite useful for maximising impact and space.<br />
This is quite common on web searcher sites<br />
now where every advertiser is allotted a single<br />
GIE Other more interesting uses could be to<br />
add a touch to a logo such as on SASG's<br />
superb web site at http://www.sasg,com. Note<br />
the spinning globe at the top.<br />
Unfortunately in this case the webmaster<br />
has used some PC software which isn't available<br />
on the <strong>Amiga</strong>. The AnimGIF standard lets<br />
you animate only a portion of the GIF while<br />
using WhirIGIF you'll have to include each<br />
whole frame so it's best not to try and replicate<br />
what SASG have done with their spinning globe<br />
until some proper <strong>Amiga</strong> AnimGIF processing<br />
software appears.<br />
However. SASG's glowing help button is a<br />
good example of how a large-time value<br />
ImageFX, have used the freely redistributii_<br />
modules approach. That means that the<br />
loader/saver modules aren't present in the<br />
actual package but are available to anyone<br />
free of charge. This gets around a license<br />
code needing to be paid for the use of GIE<br />
These modules are of no use to anyone else<br />
but owners of the package in question but if<br />
it keeps the price down who's complaining?<br />
before a faster sequence of frames is used to<br />
achieve the rising and falling luminosity<br />
effect. SASG's Tiny rotating bullet points is<br />
another excellent example of AnimGIFs. This<br />
kind of thing could be easily created in DPaint<br />
using the brush moving function Spin. Twirl or<br />
otherwise a small arrow. Colour the 'other' side<br />
of the arrow as it turns and save out the individual<br />
frames. Then convert the frames to GIFs<br />
before giving them the WhirIGIF treatment.<br />
Why not go the full monty and drag out your<br />
copy of Imagine from January's copy of <strong>CU</strong><br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine? Load a postscript font into<br />
the spline editor's Load Font function. Choose<br />
add points, extrude the font some, then save<br />
Out the points as an object.<br />
Try Imagine's detail editor for applying a<br />
nice attribute such as gold too. This text<br />
object can then be animated as per John<br />
Kennedy's tutorials on the subject. A simple<br />
rotation would do. There need only be 10 or<br />
so frames and the output renders would only<br />
have to be 50 x 50 or so which will make for<br />
extraordinarily quick rendering. However, after<br />
converting the frames to an AnimGIE you<br />
could have rotating 'NEW' graphics which<br />
actually sparkle as the edges pass the camera.<br />
There's no limit to what you can add to a<br />
Web page given a little bit of imagination and<br />
some restraint concerning the frames, colour<br />
depth and size of the image. •<br />

ImageFX is no longer shipped with a GIF<br />
loader/saver but it can be found on the<br />
Aminet in the path bizipatch/ifxgifbl.lha<br />
This is a superb implementation of the GIE<br />
standard with full progressive and transparency<br />
support. By using ImageFX's effects, an<br />
original frame can be modified, saved as a<br />
GIF ready for WhirIGIE the undo function<br />
applied, the effect altered slightly and so on,<br />

chosen to kick off with a tour around the notorious<br />
'secret' US Air Force base known as Area<br />
51, a remote dry lake bed used to test new<br />
military aviation technology. The address is:<br />
(www.ee.fit.edu./users/lpinto/sec-a51.html).<br />
Located in the Nevada desert, Area 51 was<br />

lipersonal account of a visit to broom Lake<br />
L<br />
in which it is alleged that aliens crash landed<br />
their spaceship and were then taken away to<br />
the nearby military installation for examination.<br />
The official comment from Area 51 has not<br />
been consistent, and the incident has never<br />
been explained, leading to hundreds of different<br />
theories from UFO enthusiasts, Personally<br />
I reckon the crash was simply a prototype aircraft<br />
(presumably there are plenty of these at<br />
an Air Force site which 'tests new military technology')<br />
and that the subsequent film footage<br />
of the aliens' post-mortem was a pretty daft<br />
fake. Spooky eh? Well, it's a theory anyway<br />
. There are some photos of the area taken by<br />
a visiting UFO fan which include shots of the<br />

completely different<br />
The club and festival organisers Universe have<br />
a particularly nice looking site with details on<br />
previous and forthcoming events. Although at<br />
the time of writing it's still adorned with the<br />
Tribal Gathering graphics (the year's top dance<br />
usic festival) it's got useful information for<br />
techno and house fans in the London<br />
area, with full listings of the DJ line-ups for<br />
their club nights at the Complex club in<br />
<strong>Is</strong>lington. We've picked it out here mainly<br />
because it's got some of the best graphics of<br />
any of the sites we've visited this month<br />
look: no drop-shadows!<br />

This month's Site of the Month is the official<br />
Carling Premiership site. Unlike many others<br />
it's not cluttered with useless sub-pages,<br />
but gets straight down to the business of<br />
serving up facts and figures on all the teams<br />
and results from the Premier League. It's a<br />
nice, simple site, combining decent graphics<br />
arid all the right info without trying to be a<br />
complete on-line football magazine - a slick<br />
site without the usual filler sections.<br />
You'll find it at http://www.fa-carling.com<br />
Show us yours!<br />
Have you got a site you think we<br />
should include in a forthcoming Surf<br />
of the Month? Maybe its your own or<br />
maybe you've just stumbled upon its<br />
greatness in your global net travels. If<br />
so, let us know by E-mailing us at<br />

Net God speaks<br />
There have been some<br />
disturbing events on<br />
the UK Internet of late.<br />
I refer to the great<br />
debate of Internet<br />
censorship. Some are<br />
claiming a victory over<br />
Demon Internet<br />
Services being forced<br />
to agree to block certain<br />
obscene news-<br />
groups. Banning the<br />
material, however,<br />
not the answer as it<br />
will not eradicate the<br />
problem and can be<br />
gotten around by<br />
wrongdoers. For exampie,<br />
an obviously titled<br />
newsgroup for illegal<br />
pornographic material<br />
was banned but then<br />
promptly renamed to<br />
elt.disney so it could<br />
pass by undetected. If<br />
this kind of thing hap.<br />
s more and more<br />
people will accid<br />
come into contact<br />
the disturbing material.<br />
The real solution is to<br />
catch the individuals<br />
posting the obscene<br />
material and not to<br />
censor the forum in<br />
which it is carried o<br />
Those people are<br />
breaking the law in<br />
their country of origin<br />
and should be caught<br />
and punished by their<br />
own authorities. The<br />
police should Email<br />
their international<br />
counterparts who •<br />
have jurisdiction over<br />
the wrong doer and<br />
have them arrested.<br />

Surf's up<br />
Censorship reaches the Net, PIOS hit out<br />
out at VIScorp, OctaMED author is fl amed<br />
and rumours abound about Microsoft.<br />
Microsoft on <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />
Rumours that have been circulating<br />
that Microsoft is looking to<br />
port its free Internet Explorer (IE)<br />
browser to the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
This would be welcome news<br />
as IE 3.0 has recently overtaken<br />
Netscape as the most popular<br />
browser in the world though to<br />
date it has only been available in<br />
Microsoft Windows and Macintosh<br />
versions. We asked Microsoft's<br />
head of the IE project whether the<br />
rumours were true. A Microsoft<br />
representative, Yusef Medhi,<br />
replied: "As of now, we have no<br />
plans to develop IE for the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
We are always listening to our customers<br />
and if the demand comes<br />
in we will reconsider our plans for<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> platform".<br />
Some have argued that<br />
Microsoft's products on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> would be too large like<br />
their PC software, though if the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> did have a port of IE it<br />
would have an industry standard<br />
browser capable of tables,<br />
frames, animgifs and Java etc. If<br />
this sounds good to you, then<br />
please drop Yusef a line on<br />
yusufm@microsoftcom and state<br />
your case.<br />
PIOS parting shot at ViScorp?<br />
PIOS' web site has been<br />
updated with some rather interesting<br />
tidbits First there is a<br />

A FIUMMUFS are rite that %sme lt's IL may be coming la the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
statement about an inability to<br />
secure a 'working agreement'<br />
with VIScorp. Secondly there is an<br />
announcement about their forthcoming<br />
PowerPC machines.<br />
Interestingly, these machines<br />
will be running MacOS and no<br />
announcement has been forthcoming<br />
on the availability of an<br />
ArnigaOS port,<br />
With the current statement<br />
concerning VIScorp it would<br />
be unlikely that PIOS would actually<br />
be free to port <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS<br />
to the PowerPC. This either leaves<br />
PIOS to implement a 'compatible'<br />
OS ala Phase 5 or to stick<br />
with MacOS.<br />
Recent rumours suggest PIOS<br />
are looking at the Bebox's proprietary<br />
operating system. This is an<br />
odd move since as yet it has no<br />
significant software support.<br />
Perhaps here's where PIOS parts<br />
company with <strong>Amiga</strong> users? Drop<br />

OctaMED SS takes a bashing<br />
OctaMed's author was heavily criticised<br />
recently in comp.sys.amiga.<br />
audio for placing his product in<br />
the commercial domain. Several<br />
posters thought it should be give •<br />
away free. The copy protection<br />
used on the CD version of<br />
OctaMED sound studio seemed<br />
to be the main bone of contention.<br />
Comparisons with Fast-<br />
Tracker II on the PC were also<br />
made arid questions raised as to<br />
why OctaMED SS doesn't surnnri<br />
FT's file standard.<br />
<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine's Tonv<br />
Horgan, AU Software and the<br />
author Teijo Kinnunen have all contributed<br />
to make it fascinating<br />
reading. Drop in to compsys.<br />

In a refreshing twist to events,<br />
we're concentrating on what not to<br />
do instead of what you should do if<br />
you want to create great music.<br />
, fresh music a good<br />
cidag 3 to bear in mind is<br />
'never say never'. You might<br />
I have noticed over the years<br />
f this Soundlab series tends to<br />
y centrate on the do's rather<br />
oan<br />
don'ts, because if you fill<br />
your<br />
u<br />
head with a massive list of<br />
Things you shouldn't be doing<br />
when<br />
w<br />
you write some music, the<br />
okances a are you'll end up with<br />
samething n about as challenging<br />
and t exciting as daytime TV.<br />
t wever, breaking away from that<br />
o lely positive angle for once, this<br />
nth's Soundiab raises some of<br />
m<br />
e things you might like to avoid<br />
a<br />
order to improve the quality of<br />
your k tunes<br />
e Thanks to you, the readers, we<br />
get i to hear hundreds of modules<br />
that n pop through our letter box for<br />
lune t of the Month type competitions,<br />
not to mention the thou-<br />
e<br />
sands that weave their way to us<br />
r<br />
through the PD channels. Quite<br />
often e the same 'mistakes' will be<br />
heard s from one mod to another<br />
and t ifs these kinks that this piece<br />
-i<br />
attempt to iron out.<br />
Bean spilling<br />
One of the most common downfals<br />
of mods is that they reveal<br />
their entire collection of samples<br />
'thin the first minute or so. This<br />
isn't necessarily a problem if<br />
there's enough variety and progression<br />
in the music itself to<br />
keep up the interest level through<br />
the rest of the tune, but often this<br />
is not the case. People's ears get<br />
sed to sounds very quickly and<br />
h repetitive sounds, the brain<br />
s a habit of blocking them out<br />
of perception before long. For<br />
example, here at the <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
lagazine offices the din of<br />
ondon traffic is constantly blasting<br />
in through the open windows,<br />
but it's only people at the other<br />
end of the phone that seem to<br />
notice it, while we seem to<br />
become 'blind' to the noise for<br />
maybe we're just deaf).<br />
If you're not careful, you might<br />
turn your listener's ears into involuntary<br />
shutdown, Keeping a few<br />
samples up your sleeve for later,<br />
along with some unexpected<br />
twists and turns in the arrangement<br />
will give you a better chance<br />
of keeping your audience attentive<br />
from start to finish. One trick<br />
is to give the impression you've<br />
spilled the beans early on, but<br />
then follow this up with repeated<br />
bean spilling whenever attention<br />
may be about to wane.<br />
Structure<br />
There are no rules about the<br />
structure of a piece of music and<br />
sometimes it works if you just go<br />
with the flow. However, often it's<br />
clear that there's been no thought<br />
given to the structure of a mod,<br />
generally because it peters.out<br />
halfway through and then just<br />
repeats the first sections with a<br />
few half-baked ideas thrown in for<br />
good measure. It's an easy trap to<br />
fall into especially, if like me, your<br />
attention span seems to shorten<br />
drastically once you've spent an<br />
hour or so on a track. One way to<br />
impove your chances of coming<br />
up with a good balanced track is<br />
to think about the overall structure<br />
of the song before you start<br />
out. Will you follow a straight pop<br />
format of verse, chorus and middle<br />
eight, or the club-friendly<br />
build, drop out, riff, build and<br />
repeat maybe you've got your<br />
own format or sequence of sections<br />
in mind, Either way, this can<br />
help avert the feeling of having to<br />
'fill' three and half minutes for a<br />
pop song, or 10 minutes for an<br />
ambient piece or whatever. You<br />
d Lab<br />
Common pitfalls<br />
can use each transition period as<br />
a time to take a break from composing,<br />
have a cuppa and return<br />
with renewed enthusiasm and<br />
ideas, a bit like stopping off for a<br />
bite to eat at the motorway services<br />
during a long car journey<br />
well sort oft<br />
Bad tools<br />
A bad workmen blames his tools<br />
apparently, but it's up to you to<br />
make sure your tools are up to the<br />
job, or your samples in this case.<br />
It's frustrating to hear a mod that's<br />
full of good ideas but is spoilt by<br />
low quality samples. If you have a<br />
particular sample that's a pivotal<br />
point of your track, but you've got<br />
it from some second rate pre-sampled<br />
collection there's only so<br />
much you'll be able to do to<br />
improve its quality. If you've done<br />
all you can and it still sounds<br />
grainy, muffled or distorted, why<br />
not try getting hold of the original<br />
source sound and sample it yourself.<br />
If it's a riff from an existing<br />
record, you'll need to find Out<br />
where it's from sooner or later if<br />
you want the track to be released,<br />
so why riot do a bit of detective<br />
work at your local record shop.<br />
I was once working on a track<br />
based around a tiny piece of<br />
piano pinched from the old house<br />
record Strings of Life, but took<br />
the sample from a vinyl compilation<br />
with about ten tracks<br />
squeezed onto each side, so the<br />
sound quality was awful. The<br />
track was then released on a CD<br />
compilation, which I snapped up.<br />
Unfortunately the<br />
quality was just as<br />
bad on that (something<br />
to do with the<br />
original having been<br />
pressed on recycled<br />
vinyl I think) so I<br />
shelved that track.<br />
However, often these<br />
remastered CD compilations<br />
have come<br />
straight from the original<br />
master tapes, so<br />
the quality is spot on.<br />
Don't forget though,<br />
that you'll need copyright<br />
clearance if you want to<br />
release a track that samples an<br />
existing record.<br />
I'm full up<br />
With the arrival of multi-channel<br />
trackers like OctaMED<br />
SoundStudio it can be tempting to<br />
keep layering more tracks on top<br />
of one another to fill Out the<br />
sound. While it's true that most<br />
studios have access to many<br />
more tracks on their big 'Bridge of<br />
the Enterprise' style mixers, it<br />
doesn't follow that you need<br />
loads of tracks to come up with a<br />
good production,<br />
Over filling a piece with too<br />
many sounds at once becomes a<br />
problem when the instruments<br />
start fighting for your attention,<br />
often because they are using the<br />
same frequency ranges. It's loads<br />
of fun to have access to all these<br />
tracks, especially after being constrained<br />
to just four for so long,<br />
but take time out to make sure<br />
each sound and part of the song is<br />
there for a reason, doing a job<br />
that's not already taken care of by<br />
another part.<br />
As a test, when your tracks<br />
start to fill up, try playing through<br />
a looped section and removing<br />
certain instruments. If you don't<br />
notice their departure then you<br />
can really do without them. If<br />
you're particularly fond of such a<br />
part, you can always copy it to a<br />
spare pattern and use it somewhere<br />
else in the song where the<br />
arrangement is not so busy. •<br />

Still using a TV with your <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />
Here's all you need to know about<br />
exchanging it for a monitor instead.<br />
a. Why a monitor?<br />
A. Monitors produce much betpictures<br />
than TVs, although top<br />
rty TV sets with Scan inputs<br />
comparable to cheap monitors_<br />
4<br />
- I operate at faster refresh rates<br />
:ral y TVs and that means larger<br />
.<br />
plays with no interlace flicker.<br />
v (1. Can I use a PC<br />
monitor e with an <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />
v<br />
e A. Most PC monitors are<br />
SVGA r and operate at a refresh<br />
rate<br />
,<br />
of about 31kHz. The standard<br />
c<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> output is 15k1-Iz. This<br />
means an <strong>Amiga</strong> operating in this<br />
e<br />
mode will not be able to display a<br />
picture,<br />
r<br />
However, <strong>Amiga</strong>s with<br />
the t AGA chipset can open special<br />
DoubleScan a and Multiscan<br />
screen i modes which are very<br />
close n to 31kHz. Sadly, in most<br />
cases t they aren't close enough<br />
so If you are offered a PC moni-<br />
y<br />
tor. try it before you buy it.<br />
Remember p that only with a<br />
graphics e card can the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
drrve s a PC monitor reliably.<br />
o<br />
II f Q. Which can I use?<br />
m<br />
▪ A. There are a few monitors<br />
o<br />
around which are designed for<br />
the<br />
n<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>, such as those produced<br />
i by MicroVitec. Not only<br />
will t these monitors display standard<br />
o 15kHz screen modes but<br />
DoubleScan r and MultiScan<br />
modes too, This means you can<br />
display a 640 by 512 Workbench<br />
with no interlace flicker.<br />
▪ CI. What is interlace<br />
flicker? Can I stop it?<br />
• A. An <strong>Amiga</strong> operating in a<br />
normal PAL video mode can<br />
display a screen of 640 pixels by<br />
256 lines. However, a display of<br />
640 by 512 is too much to be<br />
produced in one frame of video.<br />
Instead the <strong>Amiga</strong> takes two<br />
attempts. displaying half the image<br />
in alternate frames. The result is a<br />
larger display but with an annoying<br />
flicker. Interlace is acceptable in<br />
some video applications but it's no<br />
good for serious Workbench work.<br />
To stop the flicker do two<br />
things: speed up the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
video output and display the output<br />
on a suitable monitor: a TV<br />
simply isn't up to the task with its<br />
15kHz refresh rate. You can speed<br />
up the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s video output if you<br />
have an AGA chipset by using<br />
DoubleScan or MultiScan screen<br />
modes but as discussed these<br />
aren't compatible with Most PC<br />
monitors and require a dedicated<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> monitor. Instead a piece of<br />
hardware called a FlickerFixer can<br />
be used. This buffers the two halfframes<br />
and then resends them at a<br />
speed suitable for display on a PC<br />
monitor. The only FlickerFixer currently<br />
available is ScanDoubler II<br />
from Power Computing and it<br />
requires a Zorro slot.<br />
• Q. How does a<br />
graphics card work?<br />
• A. A graphics card lie Picasso<br />
or Cybervision) fits into a standard<br />
Zorro slot on big box <strong>Amiga</strong>s.<br />
has special driver software which<br />
provides extra screen modes:<br />
when you alter an application or<br />
Workbench to use these new<br />
modes, the video output appears<br />
Out of the back of the new card,<br />
As well as the drivers<br />
provided with the card, many<br />
cards are supported by a<br />
package called 'CyberGraphics'<br />
or 'CyberGFX'. This is a set of<br />
drivers which is supported by<br />
lots of applications and as long<br />
as you have the relevant drivers<br />
for your card you can make use<br />
of any software which support<br />
the CyberGFX standard. It's the<br />
nearest there is to a standard for<br />
'retargetable graphics'.<br />
• Q. What are the<br />
advantages of using a<br />
graphics card?<br />
• A. Graphics cards can open<br />
larger displays with more colours<br />
and faster refresh rates than the<br />
standard <strong>Amiga</strong> graphics chipset.<br />
As a result you can use a 256<br />
colour Workbench screen in 800<br />
by 600 pixels or better, without any<br />
flicker or shimmer. The Workbench<br />
display will work quickly, without<br />
using up a lot of Chip RAM.<br />
Unlike the normal <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
graphics modes which are based<br />
on 'bitplanes', graphics cards<br />
work in 'chunky' screen modes,<br />
which are very suited to moving<br />
around large blocks of data such<br />
as windows. Page processor/DTP<br />
programs and rendering packages<br />
such as Imagine or Cinema4D will<br />
also benefit. It's also possible to<br />
replay animations much quicker: a<br />
package such as Main Actor<br />
Professional can play back Anim<br />
files extremely fast. Apple Mac<br />
and PC emulators will also work<br />
faster with a graphics card.<br />
Although HAM8 mode can display<br />
many colours, graphics cards<br />
can display true 24-bit images. TV<br />
Paint and Photogenics can use<br />
the new graphics modes to display<br />
thousands or millions of<br />
colours very quickly so your<br />
graphics will have never looked so<br />
sharp, bright or colourful.<br />
• Q. Are there any disadvantages<br />
to the card?<br />
• A. Yes. For a start you need a<br />
suitable <strong>Amiga</strong> as all graphics<br />
cards require Zorro slots. Then<br />
you'll need a decent monitor: it<br />
would be a waste of time attempting<br />
to use a graphics card with a<br />
TV or 15kHz monitor. You need a<br />
PC style SVGA monitor and the<br />
bigger the better. If you want resolutions<br />
larger than 800 by 600<br />
you'll need a 17" monitor and<br />
that's another £500.<br />
When you do get your graphics<br />
card system connected to the new<br />
monitor, you'll find that not all programs<br />
will work. Most applications<br />
will work but hardly any games will<br />
run. This is because, for speed reasons,<br />
games don't request screen<br />
modes or perform graphics tasks<br />
via the operating system: and that<br />
means they can't be re-directed to<br />
the graphics card. So, you'll need<br />
to resort to your old monitor or TV<br />
for them. The <strong>Amiga</strong>'s standard<br />
bitplane graphics are much more<br />
video-friendly than the output from<br />
graphics cards. Smooth scrolling,<br />
genlocking and high-quality video<br />
titling is still best left to the standard<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> output.<br />
• Q. Do all graphics<br />
cards require Zorro<br />
slots? I have an Al200,<br />
am I stuck?<br />
• A. One solution is to buy<br />
a Tower Case adaptor which<br />
includes Zorro slots but that is an<br />
expensive route. A new module<br />
called Grafitti might appeal to<br />
the Zorro-less or budget minded.<br />
It connects to the standard<br />
monitor output and has special<br />
chunky graphics modes which<br />
can speed up certain applications<br />
a lot. More details when we<br />
get them. •<br />

Our investigation<br />
into Workbench's<br />
hidden nooks and<br />
crannies continues.<br />

Fonts are fun: remember<br />
that. When your<br />
DTP program is refusing<br />
to print anything<br />
even slightly resembling<br />
what is on<br />
screen, repeat it to<br />
yourself like a mantra:<br />
'fonts are fun, fonts<br />
are fun'.<br />
Whenever you see<br />
text appear on screen,<br />
you are looking at a<br />
font. The appearance<br />
and the size of the letters<br />
is determined by<br />
the typeface used and<br />
the point size of the<br />
text. You can control<br />
the fonts used by the<br />
Workbench from the Fonts<br />
Preference editor. As you use various<br />
packages and install new programs.<br />
the number of fonts you<br />
collect will grow to frightening<br />
proportions. It's worth having a<br />
clear-out every so often. If you<br />
don't, you'll find you have to wait<br />
ages every time you want to pick<br />
a font in an art pac6ge.<br />
There are two types of fonts:<br />
bitmapped isometimes called<br />
non-proportional) and scalable.<br />
The default <strong>Amiga</strong> font is called<br />
'Topaz'. The name doesn't mean<br />
anything special, it's just the title<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> designers gave to it.<br />
Topaz is a bitmapped font, which<br />
means it was designed to look<br />
good at a certain size. For example<br />
if you scale it up too far it will<br />
look blocky. Bitmap fonts are useful<br />
because they are memory efficient<br />
and fast. A good text editor<br />
such as Cygnus Ed can scroll text<br />
incredibly fast because it deals<br />
exclusively with bitmapped fonts.<br />
The disadvantage of<br />
bitmapped fonts becomes obvious<br />
when you use them in a DTP<br />
program and send them to a printer.<br />
Yuck is the word! To get<br />
around this, the <strong>Amiga</strong> uses<br />
This is a Serif Font<br />
This isn't. This is good old Helvetica. Most boring<br />
font of the year maybe. Good for headlines and<br />
once modern looking text though.<br />
This is a typeface called Times, which is often used with<br />
Helvetica. It's a serif font (i.e. it has little bits at the end of<br />
the letters) and it is easy to read when used in a small point.<br />
size. It's also used a lot in newspapers, perhaps with a typeface<br />
which has no serifs (sans serif) for headlines. Or vice versa. Those<br />
art people, you can't tell what they'll do next.<br />
A loots come in all diftereM shapes mid sins. Bitterest typefaces old sizes are chosen depeoding on circomstances amd the<br />
whim of the desigmer.<br />

Intellifonts. These are fonts<br />
which are different from<br />
bitmapped fonts in a fundamental<br />
way. Rather than storing a<br />
miniature image of each letter, a<br />
description of the text is stored.<br />
When drawing a letter A for<br />
example, the Intellifont describes<br />
the two lines meeting at an angle<br />
and the cross bar. The result is<br />
that no matter what size the letter<br />
is displayed at, it's always<br />
smooth. As you can imagine this<br />
process takes up more memory<br />
and processing speed. For DTP<br />
applications though, it's worth it.<br />
So why does your printer produce<br />
smooth text when you print<br />
a text file from a text editor or<br />
the Shell using bitmapped fonts.'<br />
Because unlike with a DTP package,<br />
the text itself is being sent<br />
to the printer. The printer can<br />
then use its internal (smooth)<br />
fonts to print it.<br />
A DIP program will not send<br />
the plain text. Instead it creates<br />
an internal image of what the<br />
printed document looks like. It<br />
then sends this image line-by-line<br />
A lbe locale elitot can dugs wheat y011ire. Vutmally.<br />
to the printer as though it were a<br />
huge graphic image. Result: the<br />
ability to include graphics and<br />
smooth fonts no matter what<br />
size they are displayed in.<br />
The fonts drawer on<br />
Workbench lab, I knew we<br />
would get around to it) stores<br />
both these types of fonts. You'll<br />
see Topaz in there: in fact, you'll<br />
see a file called Topaz.font and<br />
then a sub-directory called Topaz<br />
which contains a file for each<br />
size available.<br />

Pretty backdrops and icons<br />
Maybe you are wondering why my Workbench looks a<br />
lot less drab than yours. <strong>Is</strong> it all down to my sparkling<br />
personality? Well, partly, but a lot is also due to a<br />
Preferences program called WBPattern. Use it and you can<br />
select a standard IFF image to appear in the background<br />
of the Window or the Workbench screen.<br />
The only snag is that you are limited to the number of<br />
colours of your Workbench display. Unless you have a<br />
graphics card, anything more than sixteen can be pretty<br />
slow and memory greedy.<br />
Creating your own backdrop patterns can be an<br />
interesting evening's entertainment. I like random<br />
patterns of pastel shades, because it's still possible to<br />
read black text over them. Others prefer stone or marble<br />
textures or even digitised images.<br />
easier for programmers to provide<br />
support in multiple languages<br />
(well, English, German, French,<br />
Italian, Danish, Spanish,<br />
Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian<br />
and Dutch). There is a<br />
Preferences editor entitled<br />
'Locale' and by setting this your<br />
application would hopefully<br />
•<br />
develop the ability to speak to<br />
you in your chosen tongue. Nice<br />
idea, but few programs<br />
actually support it. It's still worth<br />
exploring mind you. If you look in<br />
locale:help/Englishisys you'll<br />
find a file called amigaguide.guide.<br />
This is the file which <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide<br />
uses when asked for help.<br />

Overd rivers<br />
I recently purchased<br />
a second<br />
hand Al200 with<br />
an Archos<br />
Overdrive dualspeed<br />
CD-ROM<br />
drive plugged into the PCMCIA<br />
slot. An Archos 'Over-CD installation<br />
disk came with it but the<br />
installation does not work properly.<br />
One executable on the disk<br />
called 'update-handler' recognises<br />
that I have an EIDE CD-ROM drive<br />
present, as it copies a file called<br />
'EIDE' to the RAM-disk. The presence<br />
of this file then causes the<br />
execution of the correct part of<br />
the installer script. The problem is<br />
that the only file that gets<br />
installed is 1:overcd-handier', The<br />
installer script then tries to install<br />
some libraries into LIBS: from a<br />
disk called 'OVERCD', which I do<br />
not have.<br />
The person from who I purchased<br />
the machine insists that<br />
only one installation disk came<br />
with the drive. Do you know<br />
where I can get another set of<br />
installation disks from? In reply to<br />
Duncan Strand's letter in the<br />
September issue you stated that<br />
the Zappo and Archos CD-ROM<br />
drives are pretty much the same.<br />
If so. would Zappo CD installation<br />
software work with my CD-ROM<br />
drive? Would it be possible to<br />
replace the drive in the Archos<br />
unit with a newer faster one (say<br />
four-speed or six-speed)?<br />
Peter Barrack, Pembrokeshire.<br />
Right, first of all let's check that<br />
those missing libraries aren't on the<br />
installation disk (which you refer to<br />
as 'O<br />
ver 'OVERCTI). If they are there you<br />
-can<br />
copy them to LUIS.- by hand. If<br />

not, it sounds like you need another<br />

owner never installed the drive?).<br />
Zappo installation disks would probably<br />
work if you could get hold of<br />

PC monitor<br />
I recently acquired<br />
a Philips 9CM0531<br />
00b PC colour<br />
monitor. There<br />
was no manual<br />
with it so I phoned<br />
Power Computing to ask if their<br />
VGA adaptor would work with this<br />
monitor. They said the 9 pin connection<br />
on the monitor would not<br />
fit their adaptor and recommended<br />
phoning RSD Connections in<br />
Hertford, which I did. RSD said<br />
there should be no problem connecting<br />
my Al200 to the Philips<br />
monitor. They supplied me with<br />
an adaptor cable but-I could not<br />
get a picture on the monitor from<br />
Workbench. I got a pale multiple<br />
image when I tried the game<br />
Soccer Kid on it.<br />
I wrote to RSD but they replied<br />
that they only supplied cables and<br />
could not help with technical<br />
advice. <strong>Is</strong> there anything I can do<br />
to get this working or is it just a<br />
case of incompatibility and f15<br />
wasted on a cable?<br />
Peter Collins, Tipperary Town.<br />
Good news: you should be able to<br />
get your monitor working with your<br />
Al200. You need to select a VGA<br />
compatible screen mode from the<br />
Workbench preferences. This<br />
A written letter receives<br />
full attention and we try<br />
our best to come up with a<br />
solution. It's good to talk<br />
but it's better to write.<br />
monitor will not display video screen<br />
modes, the default screen type selected<br />
by your Al200. Soccer Kid (and<br />
most other games) will not work on<br />
this monitor because they too use a<br />
video screen mode. There's no way<br />
you can change the screen mode<br />
used by most arcade-style games. so<br />
you'll have to use a TV or a videocapable<br />
monitor to view those.<br />
SoundStudio<br />
I have a few<br />
points concerning<br />
OctaMED<br />
SoundStudio.<br />
1., When I try to<br />
use the echo<br />
effect in a fairly big module I get<br />
'not enough memory' even<br />
though I have a 4Mb RAM card<br />
2. To get SoundStudio to work<br />
without the owner check failing, I<br />
have to put the entire disks'<br />
contents into the RAM disk. Why<br />
is this?<br />
3. My setup is an Al200 with<br />
6Mb of RAM and a Gillet Micro<br />
Mixer. When I try to use the pan<br />
effect '2E' you can't notice the<br />
effect. But I still want to put my<br />
modules through the Micro Mixer.<br />
4. Most of my breakbeats are<br />
split and saved as segments (ie.<br />
'bass shot.amen', 'snareriffl,arnen'<br />
etc). I know very little<br />
about ARexx scripts but I want to<br />
write a script that would load all<br />
the relative segments of a sample<br />
when I clicked on just the first.<br />
5. Where and how do you get the<br />
Startup.omed script to work? I<br />
would like SoundStudio to load a<br />
metronome module with a 4/4<br />
beat as a default. I can get it to<br />
work from a keypress but I'd<br />
much rather just have it work<br />
automatically every time I start<br />
new module.<br />
8. I'm on a tight budget. Can you
ecommend a 50MHz accelerator<br />
for about 1200?<br />
Mike Fishwick, <strong>Is</strong>le of Wight.<br />
I. First check you have '1-64 channel<br />
mixing' selected from the Song<br />
Options window. If so, try altering<br />
the size of the Mix Buffer from the<br />
Mix Settings window.<br />
2. We're not sure on this one. Ours<br />
works fine when installed to hard<br />
drive from floppies, although the CD<br />
version requires the disc to be in the<br />
CD drive even if loading from the<br />
hard drive.<br />
3. This panning effect works fine for<br />
us, As with question I. check that '1-<br />
64 channel mixing' is enabled. Also<br />
make sure you are using the correct<br />
values (FO-FE for left and (10-10 for<br />
right panning).<br />
4. This is tricky. We're starting up a<br />
whole new ARexx series very soon,<br />
so keep 'em peeled — that should sort<br />
you out.<br />
5. Likewise, an ARexx tutorial is<br />
really in order here.<br />
6. The cheapest 030 accelerator for<br />
your Al200 is the Magnum 030 card.<br />
which is available with a very capable<br />
40mHz 68030, optional FPI; and<br />
no RAM for 1139.99 from Wizard<br />
Developments (MI: 01322 527 800).<br />
The Blizzard cards available from<br />
Gordon Harwoods have just been<br />
reduced in price and are now better<br />
buys than ever. The 1230 Mk 4 (with<br />
a 50mHz 030 and MAIO is now<br />
1159.99. Call Harwoods on 01773<br />
836 781 for details.<br />
If your existing RAM card has<br />
a SLWM on it, check before hand<br />
with your dealer because you<br />
should be able to carry it over to your<br />
new accelerator.<br />
CD music<br />
Can I sample<br />
snatches of audio<br />
CDs for use within<br />
OctaMED 5.04?<br />
My CD-ROM<br />
details are as<br />
follows: Make: Matshita<br />
Model: CR-581 Quad Speed<br />
Unit: 1 Device: Tandemat_PCM-<br />
CIA.device<br />
<strong>Is</strong> this possible with my current<br />
set up or is separate software or a<br />
dedicated sample needed?<br />
Graeme Milne, Northumberland. •<br />
Certain types of CD-ROM drives can<br />
pass the sample data from audio CD<br />
tracks across to your <strong>Amiga</strong>. There<br />
are a few tools available from the<br />
public domain which will allow you<br />
to do this, such as AudioLab 16 for<br />
example (which was included in a<br />
rather earlier form on our <strong>CU</strong>CD II).<br />
our particular drive is not listed as<br />
being compatible with it, but that<br />
doesn't mean that it's not. Try hunting<br />
down that and any other similar<br />
software (search PD CDs for -<br />
cdda" which is short for CD digital audio).<br />
PCMCIA RAM<br />
I've had lily <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
1200 for almost a<br />
year now and<br />
since I purchased<br />
it I have been trying<br />
all over Hull<br />
and the local area to find anywhere<br />
that sells memory cards for<br />
the PCMCIA port, but as yet I<br />
have had no luck, Any ideas<br />
where I might get one?<br />
Paul Collins, North Humberside.<br />
A PCMCIA RAM card will be slower<br />
and probably more expensive than<br />
an equivalent RAM card for your<br />
trapdoor expansion slot, so you may<br />
as well ditch that idea. .4 trapdoor<br />
RAM card will free up your PCM-<br />
CIA slot for other peripherals, such<br />
as a CD-ROM drive, a video digitiser,<br />
hard drive and so on. If you're determined<br />
to get a PCMCIA RAM card<br />
you might try looking ay some PC<br />
dealer's adverts. These should work<br />
fine in your <strong>Amiga</strong>, even if they are a<br />
bit slow.<br />
Cheap° CD32<br />
I have required<br />
a CD-ROM drive<br />
for my Al200 for<br />
some time now<br />
and recently have<br />
been offered a<br />
CD32 for £99.99. Please could<br />
you help me by answering the<br />
following questions:<br />
1. <strong>Is</strong> it true that a CD32 could<br />
be connected to an Al200 via a<br />
Parnet cable, or indeed any<br />
other cable?<br />
2. Would the above connection<br />
enable both the Al200 and the<br />
CD32 to share the CD-ROM, the<br />
hard drive, and the floppies?<br />
Or at least could the Al200<br />
access the CD-ROM in a fast and<br />
reliable way?<br />
3. Where can I get a Parnet cable<br />
from, and for how much, or could<br />
I make one?<br />
4. What is the speed of the<br />
CD32's drive?<br />
5. <strong>Is</strong> there any difference<br />
between the Al200 and the CD32<br />
internally?<br />
6. Has the CD32 got stereo<br />
sound outputs for connection to<br />
an amplifier and will the machine<br />
play music CDs?<br />
7. <strong>Is</strong> 1100 a good price to pay for<br />
a brand new CD32?<br />
8. <strong>Is</strong> it possible to attach a floppy<br />
drive to the CD32 and load<br />
Workbench? Can a keyboard be<br />
attached also?<br />
C Purle, Lancashire.<br />
1. Yes you can.<br />
2* Yes, but the data transfer rate is<br />
not very fast.<br />
3. You can get all the necessary software<br />
and cables from Marpet<br />
Developments for 124.95. They<br />
call the package CD32 S-PORT<br />
Call them on 01423 712 600 for<br />
more details.<br />
4. It's a double speed drive.<br />
5. Yes there are a few differences, but<br />
the CD32 is based on the AI200.<br />
6. Yes it has stereo audio outputs and<br />
will play audio CDs.<br />
7. You could probably get one cheaper<br />
if you shop around.<br />
8. Not without adding an expander<br />
system, such as the C1)32<br />
ProModule, as reviewed in the July<br />
1996 issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine.<br />
Talking trash<br />
<strong>Is</strong> It true? Did the<br />
Gurus at <strong>CU</strong><br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />
actually advise<br />
people to format<br />
their hard drive,<br />
just to eliminate an annoying<br />
trashcan (Masterclass, <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
September 96)? What nonsense.<br />
There are two perfectly simple<br />
ways of removing a trashcan from<br />
a directory. These are as follows:<br />
1. Open a Shell and type 'delete<br />
workbench3.0:trashcan#?'. This<br />
will delete both the trashcan and<br />
its icon.<br />
2. Use the IconEdit program supplied<br />
with Workbench to change<br />
the trashcan icon into a drawer<br />
icon (Type menu, select Drawer),<br />
save the changes then delete the<br />
trashcan from Workbench by<br />
selecting it and using Delete from<br />
the Icon menu,<br />
There, now isn't that a lot easier<br />
than reformatting your entire<br />
hard disk? Not mention a-damn<br />
site safer. I will consider this a<br />
brief lapse of concentration on<br />
your behalf and trust it will not<br />
happen again.<br />
Scott Strachan, Portsmouth.<br />
Yes, you could do either of those<br />
things, but John says that if you follow<br />
point one and then at a later date<br />
selected Empty Trash (either deliberately<br />
or by accident) the system may<br />
well get confused and do something<br />
rather horrid. When faced with your<br />
second suggestion John says that<br />
yes, you can go right ahead an do<br />
what you like with your Trashcan,<br />
getting rather tired of the whole<br />
affair, perhaps wishing he never<br />
mentioned it in the first place. But<br />
he's not wrong!<br />
Oh go on •••<br />
In Kays Catalogue I saw an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
1200 Internet Surfer pack with<br />
2Mb of RAM expandable to<br />
4Mb for £629.99. <strong>Is</strong> this a good<br />
purchase? I am looking for a computer<br />
that can handle graphics,<br />
wordprocessing etc as well as<br />
having good gaming capabilities.<br />
Also, as I use a Mac and PC<br />
computers on a daily basis I was<br />
wondering if there was a piece of<br />
software that can translate <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
files into PC format and vice-versa<br />
(le a program similar to Apple<br />
File Exchange on the Mac) as this<br />
would greatly benefit me and<br />
my studies.<br />
And finally, with all the speculation<br />
surrounding the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
future, I was wondering if the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> would continue to be one<br />
of the leading home computers.<br />
Tony Smith, N Ireland<br />
First of all, yes it's a good buy,<br />
although the Internet software in the<br />
bundle is now quite dated. Once<br />
you're on-line you can get all the latest<br />
from the Internet. The <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
1200 can actually be expanded to at<br />
least 130Mb RAM with cards such as<br />
the Blizzard 1230140160 range, not<br />
just 4Mb. Yes, a's excellent for graphics<br />
and productivity software and also<br />
has a wide variety of games available.<br />
You don't need any extra software.<br />
The .41200 comes with Cross-Dos as<br />
standard, which will read and write to<br />
PC format disks, as well as format<br />
them from scratch. Mac disk emulation<br />
systems are also available. As for<br />
the machine's future, it's holding up<br />

I would like to take this opportunity%<br />
my last as it turns out, to comment on<br />
the situation the <strong>Amiga</strong> community<br />
finds itself in at the moment. On one<br />
hand tens of thousands of people are<br />
still buying <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine, still<br />
enjoying it and still finding it the<br />
invaluable source of information it<br />
always has been. On the other hand<br />
magazines are closing down and software<br />
houses are deserting <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
because sales aren't as high as they<br />
Accusations of recycfmg are fully justified,<br />
but what the hell, if Stock, Altkawl and<br />
Watennan could do it why can't Senstble?<br />
were. And who can blame them? You<br />
can't survive.on good will alone.<br />
But don't let the begrudgers drag<br />
you down. Mail order sales of CD<br />
software, of hardware, of games<br />
even, is stronger than the charts let<br />
on. If people can't get games in shops<br />
by golly they'll get them elsewhere,<br />
and many of•these sales will not be<br />
recorded by those who compile<br />
charts. You haven't been able to get<br />
productivity software in shops for<br />
years now but that hasn't stopped<br />
people upgrading via mail order to<br />
later, more powerful versions.<br />
Sour power<br />
Some weeks ago Stuart Campbell, ex-<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Power staffer (a mag sadly no<br />
longer with us - and pretty sad too<br />
while it was), penned a typically<br />
vitriolic put-down of <strong>Amiga</strong> games<br />
sales for the console dominated TV<br />
A<br />
Teletext report Digitizer. Mr Campbell<br />
is a respected computer games<br />
journalist of considerable experience,<br />
and even if his reference to <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Power's 'mighty oaken doors' is a little<br />
overstated - token would have been<br />
more accurate for the last 12 months<br />
considering its size and its anti-<strong>Amiga</strong><br />
attitude - he should certainly be taken<br />
seriously. Or should he?<br />
His report centred around sales of<br />
three games in July, with figures<br />
complied from the GalluptELSPA<br />
charts top ten. The three games were<br />
Gloom (no position stated), Premier<br />
Manager 3 (number 5) and Worms<br />
Inumber 2). The first sold 118 units.<br />
Hmm. The second sold 332. Deane<br />
me, Worms sqld 526 copies. Oh no!<br />
More information on total sales follows<br />
and, getting out his calculator.<br />
Stuart works out that Worms has sold<br />
approximately 19,666 copies on<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> since it was launched. <strong>Is</strong> that<br />
including or excluding the 526 in sold<br />
July? Never mind. By the way Team<br />
17 disagree with his sales figures but<br />
he's using industry standard information<br />
so let's stick with it.<br />
Fact finding<br />
What Mr Campbell fails to point out is<br />
that each of these games has been<br />
on sale for over six months. Gloom<br />
Deluxe is no doubt the version of<br />
Gloom he is referring to (it's the only<br />
one on sale in my local HMV), which<br />
is itself a 10 month old sequel to a<br />
game well-nigh 18 months old.<br />
Premier Manager 3? Another old<br />
sequel. Worms, the only original<br />
game, was also released before<br />
Christmas 1995. Using Stuart's<br />
gloomy benchmark figures would<br />
mean that at an average of just over<br />
500 games per month Worms would,<br />
even by now, have sold just 5500<br />
copies and not the 19,666 he himself<br />
quotes (that's 500 per month for<br />
the 11 or so months it has now been<br />
on sale for).<br />
But hold on. is it possible the<br />
reason these games aren't selling well<br />
is that they're just too damn old now.<br />
No doubt the vast majority of Worms'<br />
total sales were achieved within the<br />
first month or two, like any piece of<br />
software. You see these three old<br />
timers are still in the top ten because<br />
nothing has ever been released<br />
that's worthy of replacing them there.<br />
You can't have sales without<br />
products to sell!<br />
Another odd omission was the<br />
number 1 game that month. No prizes<br />
for guessing what it was, I'm not<br />
suggesting that SWOS is selling<br />
tens of thousands every month, but<br />
it's ahead of Worms and due to<br />
Warner's policy of bringing out a new<br />
version almost every time the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
community breaths the game remains<br />
at the top. Accusations of recycling<br />
are fully justified, but what the hell. if<br />
Stock Aitken and Waterman could do<br />
it why can't Sensible ? The real point<br />
is that you can't sell the same old<br />
stuff forever, it has a shelf life and if it<br />
isn't replaced it won't be sold. A<br />
computer format cannot hope to<br />
survive long if its manufacturers keep<br />
going out of business either.<br />
Software producers will always<br />
pick the newest and most exciting<br />
platform to develop for, If and when<br />
VIScorp finally conclude their buyout,<br />
produce or licence for production the<br />
next generation <strong>Amiga</strong> and manage to<br />
avoid the receiver, things will change.<br />
But in the meantime there are still lots<br />
of people out there looking for the<br />
latest NEW software to run on their<br />
Al 200s, and where there is demand<br />
legitimate supply usually follows (in<br />
the free world anyway).<br />
If you want the <strong>Amiga</strong> to stay<br />
around then remember you have the<br />
power to keep it going. You could do<br />
worse than trying to program your<br />
own games and applications: anything<br />
is possible. As Jean-Luc Picard would<br />
say: 'Make It So'. •<br />

BACKCHAT<br />
Last month, it was Spain, this time it's the Italians<br />
who are having their say concerning our Euroscene<br />
feature. And one brave young boy takes on the<br />
software publishers. <strong>Is</strong>n't it time you wrote in?<br />
tter of the Month<br />
inspiration to us all<br />
I originally got an <strong>Amiga</strong> 500 about six or seven years ago to play games on. Every boy in my<br />
year had one, it was the in thing to have and we had them because we enjoyed playing<br />
i<br />
g<br />
• the purpose of playing better games. The Al200 was bought to play AGA games, the<br />
CD-ROM drive to play CD32 games and the Blizzard to play new Doom clones such as IKG.<br />
a<br />
However, I have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of new games coming out that<br />
mreally<br />
push my system to the limit. I wrote to a number of games companies asking them why<br />
egames<br />
such as Putty Squad. TFX and Myst were never released. I am asking that other <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
s users do this and join together to write similar letters to publishers so we can finally see<br />
. games such as TFX and Putty Squad which I am sure would be a huge success on the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
SI<br />
believe that if all the active <strong>Amiga</strong> games users group together and pressurise the publishers<br />
i we could get more games in the shops that people actually want to buy. The <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />
have grown up, we are no longer a group of school kids with A500s but a group of students<br />
n<br />
with <strong>Amiga</strong>s which are easily a match for some of today's PCs. I feel that the software indus-<br />
c<br />
try needs to be told what the other underlying trends in the <strong>Amiga</strong> games market are So<br />
e please write to them and let them know that you are out there. Remember it is always games<br />
t that sell home computer systems not hardware specs or business software, Therefore the<br />
hfuture<br />
of the <strong>Amiga</strong> still lies with quality games.<br />

I<br />
That's what we like to hear: stories about people who are actively doing something to keep the<br />
h<br />
miga alive and make people ware that there is still a huge amount of people out there ready and<br />
awilling<br />
to part with lots of cash.<br />

A few ideas<br />
p<br />
right, but I agree with Grant Sutcliffe (Backchat,<br />
g<br />
About eight months ago I sold my <strong>Amiga</strong> 1200 Sep 96) these will be over priced machines for<br />
and I finally started to use a PC I bought about a the average user. The Al200 market is desper-<br />
r<br />
year and a half ago, after selling my A4000. ate for a cheap machine that is very powerful.<br />
aHowever,<br />
I just could not get on witfrthe PC so A better idea would be if the Al200 mother-<br />
d purchased a secondhand Al200 until<br />
board was upgraded with PC components. The<br />
eWindows<br />
'95 turned up. Even so, I still buy your operating system could be modified to make<br />
d magazine because the PC world is so dead (it's use of the new chips, so the processor would<br />
tall<br />
business or games, no productivity) and stay the same but increase to 40MHz, with an<br />
o<br />
there is just no magazine like yours for the PC. I option of an accelerator board in the trap-door,<br />
think it's because the <strong>Amiga</strong> had this great fam- which would contain an Intel chip (a Pentium),<br />
a<br />
ily behind it who are dedicated users squeezing which would allow the user to use the machine<br />
n the last bit out of the machine, whereas PC as an <strong>Amiga</strong> or a PC. Hopefully the machine<br />
Acoders<br />
just expect you to upgrade your proces- would cost in the E400-E500 price range.<br />

I can also use some of the pictures. Mr Symonds, Basildon.<br />

bit of the <strong>Amiga</strong> again_ Thanks_<br />
Surely that would make it a PC? And it would be<br />
I think that Phase 5, etc have got the idea expensive. Sorry.<br />

Are you listening?<br />
Attention games developers for the<br />
PowerPC<strong>Amiga</strong> and VisCorp/AT. If the new<br />
machine is to get off the ground outside the<br />
current <strong>Amiga</strong> community, it needs a really<br />
good advertising plan, i.e bill-boards and TV<br />
ads, maybe even an advert in The Times'<br />
'Interface' supplement. A slogan could be:<br />
'The Technophobes' Computer For The<br />
Future', indicating the fact that the <strong>Amiga</strong> is<br />
an easy-to-use, easy-to-set up computer.<br />
None of this 'Plug 'n' Play Multimedia' junk.<br />
Also, to all the software developers out<br />
there: get quality games in the stores 'to coincide<br />
with the release of the machine. The<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> community wants, nay, needs top<br />
games if the PPC is going to compete with<br />
Bill Gates' monster. Games such as<br />
Command and Conquer. Quake. Duke Nukem<br />
3D, Resident Evil and the like really need to<br />
be programmed, but BETTER. PC? Pa!<br />

ROM cards please<br />
We all remember the days when the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
was the ultimate home computer, when all<br />
graphics artists used DPaint and all gamesplayers<br />
played the latest games like<br />
Lemmings. But all this has changed now, it<br />
looks like the PC is winning the race as the<br />
ultimate home computer. This is mainly due to<br />
CD-ROM drives being standard on all PCs. But<br />
there is something <strong>Commodore</strong> made standard<br />
also. Are we forgetting the <strong>Amiga</strong> 600<br />
and <strong>Amiga</strong> 1200 both came equipped with<br />
PCMCIA slots as standard? When the A600<br />
was launched, everyone thought we would be<br />
seeing new ROM card software. But software<br />
developers didn't do this mainly because most<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> owners had<br />
, though, A500s almost every <strong>Amiga</strong> owner is an<br />
i<br />
41200<br />
n s<br />
owner,<br />
t e a<br />
if not at least an A600 owner. So<br />
d<br />
I urge<br />
.<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> software developers to start<br />
developing ROM cards! It may make it the ulti-<br />
N<br />
mate storage<br />
o<br />
device! And to the readers of<br />
wthis<br />
excellent magazine to write or Email them.<br />
From Joe Betro, Croydon.<br />
You're great<br />
After reading your magazine for years I decided<br />
to finally write in and<br />
1. Commend you on a brilliant magazine<br />
(suck up). The cover mounted software,
it on CD or disk is excellent. Also thank<br />
u for recognising that the Al200 is now the<br />
standard <strong>Amiga</strong> and making most of the<br />
cover mounted software run only on<br />
machines like these ( it might encourage<br />
people to finally upgrade). Thanks also for<br />
your awesome homepage. It is one of the<br />
best I've seen in ages.<br />
2. Grumble about all the people writing in<br />
and whining about not having the money to<br />
upgrade so software developers should make<br />
their software 1.3 compatible.<br />
I didn't have a proper job until three months<br />
ago. Until then I was working for E25 a week.<br />
However. I still have enough money for your<br />
magazine, I also scrounged enough for an<br />
accelerator and 4Mb of ram. If you don't have<br />
the money for the magazine don't write in and<br />
whine, these guys need to make a living too. If<br />
you don't want to fork out the dosh for<br />
hard/software then send it down here, my<br />
friends and I will buy it. We are not afraid of<br />
upgrading. Between the four of us we have<br />
102Mb of Ram 6 Gig of Hard Disk space, 2 Zip<br />
Drives, 10 Zip Disks, 2 4000/040's, 1<br />
12001030, 112001020. 3 SCSI cards, 1<br />
Cybergraphics board, 1 Flat Bed scanner,<br />
$1000's in software, 1 modem, 1 multiface<br />
card, 2 CannonBJ4000, 1 Panasonic KX-P1180,<br />
1 Laser printer. Over here if you want to run<br />
the software you either grin and bear or you<br />
upgrade — you just don't moan about it.<br />

A collector's item<br />
I have been an <strong>Amiga</strong> user for over eight<br />
years now and have been a <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine reader for most of that time.<br />
Inevitably then I have a lot of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magazine cover disks,<br />
My collection presently stands at 131<br />
disks, ranging from cover disk 139 on the<br />
,<br />
fback<br />
to cover disk eight from October 1990<br />

features a playable demo of Robocop2<br />

For the record<br />
With regard to your August issue, I noticed a<br />
letter about minimum quantities of record<br />
pressing. Actually, the minimum in Europe is<br />
by a very reliable company called<br />
Gramafonove Zavody in the Czech Republic<br />
FAX: 0042 311 962143. They are also<br />
extremely cheap and offer pressing run quantities<br />
as low as a 100 units!<br />
I would also like to take this opportunity to<br />
thank you for running the <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong>fFCI<br />
Internet offer, which I took full advantage of.<br />
The process was cheap and simple and I can<br />
now take my record label onto the net.<br />
Thanks also go the those support guys at FCI<br />
whose patience and advice was invaluable.<br />
Justin Mitchell, Cold Spring Records.<br />
Thanks for the tip off.<br />
A show of support<br />
After reading Andrew Clarke's letter in<br />
August's <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine, I rang The<br />
Computer Store he referred to, to confirm<br />
that they had CO32 games in stock. I then<br />
drove my son to Doncaster, where he bought<br />
six games (five CD32s and one <strong>Amiga</strong> ) for<br />
less than £28.<br />
So. I have a suggestion. If <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />
know of a local retailer who is supporting this<br />
vastly under-rated computer of ours, write to<br />
<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine and make it known. This<br />
will make it easier for other users to find the<br />
Software they want locally, it rewards local<br />
outlets for supporting our forsaken format. So<br />
here's two to kick off with: Game in<br />
Meadowhall, Sheffield stock games for both<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> and CD32 and at Virtual reality, also in<br />
Meadowhall, I recently bought AB3D for a<br />
mere f5.97.<br />
David Green, South Yorkshire.<br />
This is good news to hear David. Yes we would be<br />
very interested in hearing from other readers who<br />
want to mention a particular store that is support.<br />
lag the <strong>Amiga</strong> in their area. Please send in the<br />
details to got it here', <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine,<br />

Tight wads<br />
Who the hell do those <strong>Amiga</strong> owners who<br />
say 'Why won't The Killing Grounds work on<br />
my .5Mb A500 (V1.2)'... think they are? The<br />
rest of us go and spend hard earned cash on<br />
accelerators and RAM upgrades in order to<br />
keep the technology/scene moving, but these<br />
BACKCHAT<br />
maggots seem to be oblivious to this fact<br />
How many 286/8086 owners query why<br />
they can't run Quake or GP2 ? None because<br />
they'd never get over the slagging. Now I<br />
have both an A4000 and a Pentium PC. But<br />
technology marches ever onwards. I started<br />
off with an Atari 800XL and upgraded to the<br />
A500 then to the 41200 then added 4Mb/CD<br />
Rom, sold it and bought etc etc So this<br />
is how it works. And if people cannot appreciate<br />
this then too bad.<br />
I just read in your mag Worms (V1.5!!) is<br />
AGA only GOOD, ABOUT TIME why should<br />
I have to suffer because certain people won't<br />
upgrade. I invested time and money in my<br />
machine and I should be able to enjoy the<br />
benefits. Games like the Killing Grounds kick<br />
ass on faster machines and this rings true<br />
with many other types of games: racing,<br />
adventure etc.<br />

Those crazy cows<br />
I am an old Italian <strong>Amiga</strong> user and I want to<br />
congratulate you on an interesting magazine.<br />
I've bought <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine since<br />
1992 and, in my opinion, the 'Workshop' is<br />
the most useful section.<br />
However, I'm writing to remonstrate you<br />
aoout the article which appeared on <strong>CU</strong><br />
August 1996 page 28. In the submitted article<br />
Mr Alan Bunker wrote that my county<br />
is 'famous for: Ferraris; fashion; MAFIA'.<br />
Thank GOD he forgot about 'Spaghetti;<br />
Mandolin; Pizza and Luciano Pavarotti'. But<br />
above all I want to know how you feel E .<br />
about discovering that in other countries<br />
the UK is known only for: the crazy [mad]<br />
cows; hooligans and sexual interlacements<br />
in the Royal Family.'<br />
Also, Mr. Bunker should inform himself<br />
before writing an article like this because<br />
there are other magazines apart from The<br />
Games Machine which cover the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
such as 'Jackson <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine' (81 pages<br />
with 1 disk full of PO), 'Enigma <strong>Amiga</strong> Run'<br />
(CD-Rom); '<strong>Amiga</strong> Byte' etc These magazines<br />
deal with the <strong>Amiga</strong> only. and don't<br />
just delegate it only eight pages so they can<br />
pack in as many readers as possible.<br />

Ineed n to pget uonto t and use the Internet. Containing a suite of com-<br />

mercially licenced software you won't find an interface as<br />
a<br />
easy-to-use as NetConnect'sl 3 We have spoken at length to so<br />
fmany eof our w customers about ry getting onto the Internet - we know<br />
vexactly a what r you i need a and what e you want. You want software you<br />
bCan USE l e- not sshareware<br />
but commercial software, you want the<br />
hassle taken out of the installation and you want a suite of the<br />
very best <strong>Amiga</strong> Internet software. Indeed, to make NetCorinect<br />
the very best we organised programmers to enhance their software<br />
- so you get previously non-released software. NetConnect<br />
contains a full TCP client worth over E35 in itself! You can save<br />
masses of Ett's from buying NetConnect as there is no need to<br />
licence the Internet software - full versions all licenced for you!<br />
NetConnect's GUI does more than control/manage ArniTCP! It also<br />
gives you a completely editable icon bar (see pica), a "Tools<br />
n•ir-mon" style menu system and also a time accumulator (which<br />
.vds you to monitor time on the Internet and costs (which are<br />
much cheaper than people think!). No other Internet pack meets the<br />
specifications of NetConnect! Ask for a demo version for ;proof!<br />
