on 

de after 

e - third set of lights. 

The door to our premises 

is next to the 

florists opposite 

the Masons Pub.

Pentiums, P6 chips, millions spent 

and vast fortunes in the making. 

0 indows 95, Warp 0S2, pull 'n' play, 

The question is, does the buying 

public get a real bang for their buck, or simply 

end up engulfed in the aftershock of endless 

investment and upgrades? 

Given the money and marketing lavished on 

the new breed of so called 'user friendly' PCs, 

it would seem there's no choice when it 

comes to home computing. like a double seat 

on the train, you've got to get in first - stocks 

won't last, buy or be laughed at. The marketing 

pressure is intense. 

There's no rest byte, the all powerful PC sits 

in shop fronts across the land struggling to 

scroll a seemingly endless stream of virtues 

before the eyes of any would-be investors. If 

you want the best you've got to pay for it_ The 

question is, what's on sale here - the machine 

or the marketing? 

Just six months ago a friend of mine quite 

rightly tired of the seemingly endless wait for 

the Amiga to get back on its little rubber feet. 

After lots of reading and research he opted for 

IP a quality PC. Even after a lot of bartering his 

new baby still weighed in at a hefty (1400. 

PROBLEM CHILD 

At the time this new 'all singing all dancing' 

sibling was the apple of his daddy's eye. 

Unfortunately, just six months on this rapidly 

ageing 486 DXII has become something of a 

problem child. 

The Pentium is now well and truly ruling 

the roost, and his train spotting, acne ridden 

DX is rapidly becoming a computing wallflower. 

The glossy games that added so much 

attraction to the initial investment now 

demand a Pentium to deliver the promise 

so lavishly emblazoned in print and on the 

packaging. 

Like the average hot-hatch, his former pride 

and joy would be lucky to generate a third of 

its showroom asking price out on the street 

And yes, I know Amiga's depreciate as well, 

but the pain of depreciation is directly linked 

to the initial investment. And in relation to 

the PC, that's one area in which the Amiga 

certainly scores some points. 

Of course, pride and poverty doesn't entertain 

the idea of selling up. After all 'it's still a 

serious machine that can run everything a 

Pentium can.' The point is, did he really want a

serious machine, or something that could play 

games and still be taken seriously. Man, 

machine and marketing in perfect turmoil. 

The question of keeping up with the Jones', 

Pentiums, P6s is a familiar tale across every 

platform, including the Amiga. However, the 

forgotten hero does have few distinct advantages 

in the dog eat dog wodd of the PC. 

Not least of these is a generic background, 

Every Amiga sold has a standard architecture 

and although this can be expanded upon with 

assorted accelerators and ad-ons, the basic 

structure remains he same. As a consequence, 

developers are forced to work within predefined 

guidelines which in the long term benefit 

all. 

It's true there's a fair amount of diversity 

within the platform as a whole, but as a general 

rule there is a degree of uniformity which 

goes a long way to combating the evolutionary 

frenzy that dogs the PC. 

The relaunch of the Al200 may not be a 

technological breakthrough, but at least it 

offers an alternative to confusion, unnecessary 

expenditure, and the marketing hype that surrounds 

the constantly changing landscape of 

the PC market 

Perhaps the most important question for 

any woulttbe buyer is not which machine is 

the most powerful, but which is the most 

appropriate. The gloss and glamour of the 

Pentium and Microsoft marketing machine 

leads many to overlook the real issues. 

It's all too easy to fall into the dinner party 

bore mentality and justify your investment by 

reassuring yourself and others that, if you 

wanted too, you could run Photoshop, 

Quadapress, Microsoft Word and so on. But in 

the cold light of day, are you ever really likely 

to? - especially considering that just one of 

these blue chip applications could buy you an

entire Amiga. Admittedly, PC games and 

indeed some applications are pulling away 

from their Amiga counterparts, but so are their 

prices and the cost in hardware required to 

run them. 

No CHANGE 

Don't get me wrong. A 100MHz Pentium with 

16Mb of RAM, a quad-speed CD-ROM and 17 

inch monitor is a very respectable machine. 

But don't expect to get much change out of 

E2000. And be warned - this son of spec is 

rapidly becoming the entry point for a PC with 

more than a six month shelf five. 

Contrast that against the E350 asking price 

for an Al 2D0 and you have a real incentive to 

look long and hard at your reasoning. There 

are almost as many reasons for investing in a 

computer as there are computers on the market. 

However, if you are in the market make 

sure you're buying the machine and not just 

the marketing that surrounds it_ By the way, 

this shouldn't be a problem on the Amiga, as 

there isn't any..

TECHNOLOGIES 

Netscape Wd5 being ported over to the 

Amiga was denied. Bourdin stated: "There 

will be a lot of new software coming Out 

for the Amiga soon from companies that 

have never developed for the Amiga before 

who previously work on PC and Mac products. 

There will be some Web Browsers of 

very high-quality but we are definitely not 

dealing with Netscape." 

However, another rumour doing the 

rounds was validated at the recent press 

conference in Hannover. It was believed 

that Apple had offered Amiga Technologies 

a port of QuickTime and at the conference 

which was attended by Executives from 

Apple. Germany, the deal was confirmed.

Yorkshire based lyetech have announced the 

release of their Endicor Prefs 24 bit driver for 

the Epson Stylus Color Printer. The Endicor 

driver is supplied as both an Amiga prefer' 

ences driver and a standalone printing program. 

They offer full 24-bit printing with user 

definable colour correction, printing mode 

and resolution. From the standard Enpnnt 

printing program you can also get image scaling, 

positioning and rotation. The driver 

retails at E34.95. From what we've seen the 

quality is of a high standard - the pictures 

were from HAM-8 images at an average 

700x500 pixels resolution

IDIFX TO FLY 

I t's been months in development but Ocean have now announced that TEX is going to 

1 come out on the Amiga after all. Amiga Computing investigated claims that it wasn't 

going to be released when a disgruntled reader called us, angry at having upgraded his Amiga 

specifically for the forthcoming Bight sim to be then told that it wasn't coming out at all. We 

reviewed the game back in May 1995 from the final AmigaD version and found it to be an 

excellent game with the exception of a few bugs. We were also concerned that the game 

would not run satisfactorily on a standard Al200 which we reported at the time. 

According to a spokesman from Ocean, DID decided it wasn't good enough and despite 

problems with the original programmer, pressed on to make a version they were happy with. 

We can happily report now that the game will be released in April and we hope to bring you a 

re-review as soon as possible. 

DID are also continuing to support the platform with another title in the pipeline. Details are 

sketchy at the moment but we'll bring you more as we get it

ElOMPUTER SOLUTION 

GENTABHOBES HELPED BY VR 

If the thought of the dentists drill instils deep fear in you 

then worry no longer because Virtual Products have a new 

approach that could take the dentist-day blues away. 

Virtual Products, the company behind the virtual reality 

headset i-glasses are now installing the headset into dentists 

surgeries to take the patient's mind off the treatment they're 

having. 

The glasses allow the patient to 

watch 3D films or listen 

to music videos but 

because of the 

glasses' size and 

weight, the dentist 

can still access the 

patient's mouth easily. 

Through the headset 

the patient can experience the effect of a two metre 

screen with stereo sound. The glasses can display 2 

or 3D video, PC games and television. They are 

compatible with standard video output and can be 

connected to an Amiga, Apple or IBM PC.

D remier Developments, the designers of the range of Centre desktop computer workstations, 

have a new solution to keep your computer area as orderly as possible. Called 

the Premier 'MU1-T-MEDIA' it is of the same sort of design as the Uni-Centre but is now 

bigger to accommodate more peripherals. 

Increased shelf space on the top means that a good sized pair of speakers will also fit 

comfortably by the side of the monitor. The workstation is suitable for all home computers 

and in the case of an A600 or Al 200 the extra room will also allow for the PCMCIA ported 

Squirrel or Overdrive to be attached. 

It is available for E40,42 and can be found in most computer retail outlets. Contact 

Premier Developments on 0I487 823684 for further details. 

commented: The i-glasses are extremely adaptable and can 

be applied to many different situations, with dentistry as just 

another application.' He continued: in this case, it provides 

considerable benefits to both dentist and patients, creating a

EXTRACTING DISKS 

efore you even think of putting the 

over disks anywhere near your cornuter 

you should make sure you write 

rotect them. By moving the black tab 

n the top comer of the disk, so you 

an see through the hole, you prevent 

ur disks being damaged in any way. 

here should be no reason why the 

cover disks need to be written to, so 

even if the computer asks you to write 

enable the disks, don't do it. 

To extract the programs off the second 

disk you must make sure you have 

booted your computer with the first 

cover disk, otherwise your Amiga will 

not be able to find the c:Installer program, 

and frustration will soon set in. 

To extract any single archive, simply 

double-click its icon and follow the onscreen 

instructions. If you want to 

quickly extract the program to RAM 

select the NOVICE level on the wel 

come screen and press proceed once 

on the current screen, and then again 

on the next. The program can then be 

found in your RAM disk. 

You also have the option of using a 

floppy disk. If you pick this option, 

make sure you have a blank formatted 

disk at the ready, and if you only have 

one drive get ready for lots of disk 

swapping and a long wait.

SCREEN MENU 

Author: Stuart MacKinnon 

Workbench: 3.0 

Screen Menu is a tiny little program that adds a well needed function 

to your Amiga's screen bar in the form of a new selectable menu from 

the screen cycle gadget, in the top right of the screen. This menu lists 

all the currently opened screens and by selecting one you can jump 

straight to it. This saves you having to individually flick through each 

one - if you have a lot of screens open you can end up flicking past the 

one you want and have to cycle through them all over again. 

ScreenMenu can be started from either Workbench or the shell 

There are a couple of 

tooltypes in the information 

requester that change 

how ScreenMenu works. 

Qualifiers can be set to on 

or off, and if it is on you 

have to press the shift key 

before the menu will 

appear. There is also a Delay 

option so that if you do not 

use a qualifier, you can set a 

short delay before the menu 

appears so that the screen 

cycle gadget can be used as 

normal. 

We push your brains to the limits with

IMAGE VISION 

Requires 3Mb RAM 

SPECIFICATIONS 

To easily run ImageVision from Workbench you need 3Mb of RAM. Unfortunately, there is not 

easy way around this, its just that to get the sort of features that (magaision provides you 

need a lot of RAM. Having said that, it is just possible to get ImageVision up and running on a 

2Mb machine. 

This will still allow you try out the program, but you will not have very much memory 

over. 2Mb owners will have to do the following: after you have installed ImageVision into, say, 

your Work: partition, reset your machine and hold down both the mouse buttons. This brings 

up the Amiga's early startup menu, and here you just click on the boot with no startup button. 

This starts your Amiga with the absolute minimum amount of stuff in memory. To run 

Image Vision you need to type the following. 

asstgn env: enuarc: 

assign tibs: sys:classes idd 

WurbileageWition (cr whichever directory your instatted 

assign le_Teep: Teen 

IsegrYision 

This will now start ImageVision but you will only have around 350k to play around with. To 

get some more memory there are a couple of other things you can do. From within 

Imageltision itself you should select a non-interlaced screen mode. You can also remove a couple 

of files from the Imagellision directory. If you select show all files from the Workbench 

menu and go into the system drawer, delete the pattern drawer and then go into the modules 

drawer and delete the two Mpeg module files. This save further memory when you run 

ImageVision. You may even want to remove the Anim modules. 

it is amazing. We are meant to have this great 

multimedia computer with all its specialised 

custom chips to provide sprite and bliner 

support and what do you get to look at 

when you are waiting for something to 

finish? If you are lucky you can gorp at 

boring old stationary clock symbols - woopydoo-dar. 

Well SleepyPointers is to the rescue. This 

very well written shareware program will

pointers. 

To get SteepyPointers up and running j 

double-dick on whichever style pointer y 

like, and if you want to run it every time y 

start your computer, just drop the icon in 

your WBStartup drawer.

You have read the review, now you can try 

Out Imagellision for yourselves in this 

saved disabled demo - all the functions 

and options of the full program are 

available for you to try out here. 

As in the lull program, you get a tutorial 

script that is automatically loaded. If you 

run this you will get a feel for what 

Imagektision is capable of. If you have trouble 

understanding any of the functions you 

can hit the help button and the contextsensitive 

AmigaGuide help will pop up, 

allowing you to read all about the current 

functions. 

ImageVision has three main windows. 

The largest is the main script window 

where you construct presentations. Icons 

can be dragged into this from the icon win- 

1dow allowing you to add another section 

to the current script. 

To link icons together after you have 

brought a new one onto the script window 

you must click on the top of the white tail 

that comes Out of the top of each icon and 

drag it over to the icon you want it 

connected to. Menu icons are the only 

ones that can have more than one icon

any of the icons you should double-click 

on that icon. This will bring up a new 

requester in which you can modify any of 

the settings. As ImageVision internally 

multitasks you are able to have as many of 

these windows open as you like, and you 

can even work on more than one script at 

a time. 

Once you have set up a script to test it, 

just hit the run icon in the tools window 

on the right of the screen. Most of the 

normal editing tools are available here. If 

you want to cut any icon connection you 

select the icon and then hit the cut 

connection icon.

For you people lucky enough to have an 

AGA machine with a hard drive you will be 

able to try out this great program for yourselves- 

Installing ImageVision is very 

straightforward if you follow these simple 

instructions. 

The simplest and quickest way to do this 

is to boot your machine with your hard 

drive, and once Workbench has loaded 

insert the first coverdisk. For this extraction

are needed on your hard drive, namely the 

Amiga Installer program and Lha. If you 

open up the coverdisk window and double-click 

on the SetUp-HD icon this will 

check if you have these to program, and if 

not they will be copied over on to your 

system. 

Once this has been done you can just 

double-click on the ImageVision icon, and 

either extract the program to RAM or your 

hard drive. After this the program needs to 

be actually installed Onto your system. so 

double-click on the install icon and follow 

the on-screen instructions. 

This is an early version of ImageVision 

and it can have problems with certain overscan 

settings, so if you find some menu 

buttons do not respond, try setting your 

PAL overscan settings to 720x275, or for 

DbIPal to 7201(550, and this should clear 

up any problems.

The easiest way to get the Hil'sea Lido demo up and 

running is to reset your computer and then insert the 

second coverdisk into the internal drive. Follow the onscreen 

commands and when you are asked to insert a 

blank disk, remove the coverdisk and place a blank disk 

INSTALLING HILLSEA LIDO DEMO 

into the internal drive and hit return. Once this has finished, 

if you reset your machine you will be able to play 

Hil!sea Lido from this disk. 

Hard drive users will be pleased to know that the 

demo is hard drive installable, as is the full game_ To 

HILLSEA LIDO DEMO - THE SEASIDE 

MANAGEMENT SIMULATOR. 

Your business proposals have been 

approved by the local authorities and they 

have wished you every success with your 

seaside development project. You have been 

granted 20 metres of beach and corresponding 

promenade, plus full ownership of the 

Pier Theatre. You will have the opportunity 

to expand your resort up to a maximum size 

• o f 200 metres in the future. How you 

choose to manage your resort is entirely 

your concern, but the authorities maintain 

the right to reward or penalise you in areas 

that remain under their jurisdiction. 

Hillsea Lido is a seaside management 

simulator. In effect this means you are given 

access to all the elements needed to turn an 

empty stretch of beach into a thriving resort. 

It sounds easy enough but the reality is far 

more complicated. You will need to show 

real flair as an entrepreneur in order to use 

the different elements of the game to your 

advantage. 

Hil'sea Lido is a mouse-driven game, and 

most of the icons in the game have two or 

three functions. For example, when increasing 

the selling price of, say, the candy floss, 

you can use the left mouse button to 

increase the total by one, the right mouse 

button to add ten, or both mouse buttons to 

add a hundred. Also, the scrolling action 

area can be speeded up using combinations 

of mouse buttons, If you are in any doubt, 

just experiment and you will soon find various 

short cuts that allow you to control the 

game in the way you want. The first thing

:) tha nk you la die s 

awl gentlemen. For my 

next trick... 

you see when starting Hillsea Lido is 20 

metres of empty Promenade. Behind the 

Promenade is your beach which can be 

accessed by clicking the LMB on the beach 

icon at the bottom of the screen. These two 

are known as the Action Areas and are 

where the results of all your decisions take 

place. When your resort eventually expands 

you will then be able to scroll left and right 

along its entirety by using the arrow icons 

at the bottom of the screen. The main icons 

are situated beneath the Action Areas and 

allow you to access the different elements 

of Hillsea Lido. 

CATALOG U E 

SeaDreams wares are displayed in a catalogue 

which is relevant to whether you are 

viewing the beach or promenade when you 

choose this icon. You can scroll through 

this catalogue of shops and facilities by 

clicking on the salesman's hand or the bottom 

of the catalogue. Each page shows you 

a picture and a description of the shop and 

copy the game on to your hard drive, go into 

Workbench and drag the Hillsea Lido game disk icon 

into the directory window where you wish the game's 

drawer to be created. lint open this drawer and double-click 

on the Hillsea Lido icon. 

facility. If you wish to buy one simply click 

on the pile of cash and your mouse pointer 

will be exchanged for a rectangle to represent 

the size of the shop or facility. You 

must then paste this rectangular scaled 

down representation at the bottom of the 

screen. If you change your mind you can 

click on the RMB to escape before pasting. 

To purchase more land simply click on 

the sand mound and for more information 

about SeaDreams Ltd click on their logo. 

Once built you can click on the shop or 

beach hire facility in the Action Area, and 

use the LMB to access their individual 

information screens In here you can set 

the price of your stock or your rides by 

clicking on the arrows, and you can 

change the commission paid to the 

employee in the same way. 

The bleach bar is an indication of how 

clean your shop is, or the spanner, in the 

case of your beach hire facilities, indicates 

how safe they are. You can clean your 

shops by clicking on the spanner icon

The demolish icon speak for itself. 

All the different types of stock you will 

ever require for your promenade shops are 

displayed here, You can set the amount of 

stock you wish to order using the arrow 

buttons, and when you are satisfied with 

your order click on the sales woman who 

will inform you if the stock is available. If it 

is, the delivery truck will start off on its 

journey. 

ENTERTAINMENT 

You can book an act for your theatre any 

day of the week in readiness for the Sunday 

show night Scroll through the acts by clicking 

on the arrows on the left of the screen, 

and when you have chosen one simply dick 

on the cash and the act will be booked, the 

ticket price on the right of the screen 

changes depending on which act you 

choose. On Sunday night you will be automatically 

transported to the theatre so you 

can see all the people piling into it, along 

After the Hil!sea Lido demo has been copied onto a 

blank disk you will be able to do the same process for 

our demo version of the shareware game Tritus. Just 

wait until you are prompted to insert a blank disk and 

then hit return. 

TRITUS DEMO 

Author: Davin Pearson 

Workbench2.04 

So you think you are a hard Tetris player do 

you? Well, as the old saying goes, you ain't 

seen nothing yet. Tritus is a bit of a turbo 

nutter, fuel-injected Tetris, a power-upped, 

monster-infested, multi-player, evil addictive 

game. Once you start you cannot stop. 

Tritus is a simultaneous three-player 

Tetris-style game, but with a twist or two 

and the odd surprise up its sleeve. When 

you first start the game and get past the 

initial intro you will see three game areas 

with a press fire message. 

Tritus can have up to three players on at 

once, but do not worry if you have no 

Ch 

with all the lovely dosh you will be making. 

You can hire various individuals to work 

on a casual basis. The left-hand side of the 

screen applies to the promenade and the 

right to the beach. Find out more information 

about each character with the LMB, 

and the hire button will do just that - hire 

people. 

The tourist screen allows you to find out 

all sort of information about the people that 

come to visit your beach. Each tourist gives 

seven ratings on your beach. When they 

visit a shop three bars appear rating the 

politeness of the staff, pricing, and how 

clean the shops and beach are. The other 

four at the bottom of the screen relate to 

how much they want of the following: 

sugar, hunger, thirst and souvenirs. They will 

also tell you what they would like you to 

build next, and the customer is always right 

- so you'd better listen. 

If you think you can save money by being 

a skin flint and not paying cleaning and 

repair bills, think again. Regular health and 

INSTALLING TRITUS DEMO 

Once this has finished, if you reset your machine you 

will be able to play Tritus from this disk. Hard drive 

users will again be pleased to know that Tritus is hard 

drive installable. To copy the game on to your hard 

drive, from Workbench, open up the Tritus disk window 

friends, or that no-one is around to play as 

the computer will take control of the remaining 

players. If you do play against the

safety checks will fine lax beach owners over 

dirty or dangerous shops and rides. Once a 

ride has been fined, the warning never goes 

unless you demolish it. If you let things 

really slip you could even injure or poison 

someone, and then you will be fined even 

more. 

and then drag the Tritus drawer to whichever destination 

drawer you want it to go in. You will then be able 

to open up the Tritus drawer and double-click on the 

cute icon. It will even quit back to the Workbench. 

who does cheat Once you are off the mark 

the idea of the game is the same as Tetris, 

that by filling up a full horizontal line you will 

remove it, but in this game doing that adds a 

line to your competitors' areas. If you manage 

to do five lines in one go, the most possible, 

you are congratulated with a screen shuddering 

thud and a flash guitar rift 

It does not stop there. Every now and again 

a little blue greet* will drop down everyones 

screen and start to eat away at your block, 

destroying all the hard work you have done. 

To stop it just drop a block on its sorry head, 

and watch it go squish with all its bodily fluids 

dribbling down the screen - mmmmm. 

Finally, there are other power-ups available 

such as giving your enemies horribly shaped 

blocks for a short time, or making all their 

blocks invisible.

Here are just a few son 

why you need Imagellision 

• A lot of work has been put into the design and perfor 

mance of Image Vision. The interface is very easy to use a 

many different input possibilities are supported. Many func 

tions that the environment provides can be accessed through 

icons, which makes working with Image Vision very intuitive. 

The modularity of Image Vision makes it possible to configure 

the environment in a large number of ways, giving it t 

personal touch. New features can be added and old can be 

removed at will Third-party developers are able to make 

modules so that Image Vision supports certain specifi 

products. 

Image Vision is totally multitasking. You may run othe 

programs in the background, or you may run Image Vision 

the background - the choice is yours. ImageVision 

designed to provide a carefree, multithreaded, ond multitosking 

environment. To make the runtime part of Image Vision as 

effective as possible, even the runtime processes are 

internally multitasking. Currently, four processes are giving 

you the maximum performance. 

Easy-to-use drag 'n' drop interface. 

, Load and manipulate your own graphical objects in th 

GFX Editor. 

•• A comprehensive and intelligent Online He 

documentation that is accessible at all times. 

• Total modularity that will make upgrades very easy an 

INEXPENSIVE. 

• Supported Icons - Menus, Slideshows, Anims, Mpeg 

Sound, Subroutines, Jumps 

t Supported picture format is !FE ILBM, any size, and 

number of different picture formats through Datatypes. 

Before running the multimedia presentation the user c 

change the Runtime videomode between PAL or DbIPAL 

make the presentation suitable to either a TV set or 

multiscan monitor. 

Image Vision is capable of essentially improving the sp 

of GixObjects handling in runtime mode by its uniq 

ImageCache functions. 

In all file requesters, only files that have the right format 

the current selection are displayed.

A line - the Romans knew it, look at

you wanted e to go anywhere back then you just 

got into

your two horse powered chariot and 

let her rip down Caesar's Way, doing a cool

twenty mph. Nowadays, thanks to the 

brilliantly 

e 

planned road building policy things 

are not e quite so easy. In fact I hear a couple of 

universities n are thinking about starting up PhDs 

in trip t planning. 

For wanyone 

who does not have such a 

degree, o AmiAtlas is just what you need. The 

only pother 

Amiga route planning program I can 

think 

o 

of is GBroute - that was a bit of a half 

hearted i port of the PC program. It is also pretty 

old now 

n 

and there really is no comparison, 

whatsoever, to AmiAtlas. 

AnnAtlas t comes on two disks that contain 

the main 

s 

program and the normal map of 

Germany. i As standard you only get the 

German s map but a wide selection of 

European a countries are available, indud 

ing one s for the UK and Ireland. This 

may tnot 

seem too helpful but if you 

ever rventure 

out to Germany for a 

holiday, a or for whatever reason, 

this would i then be very handy. 

As 

g 

this is a German product 

the first thing you have to do is 

h 

change the language to English 

from t the 'Verschiedenes' or 

Miscellaneous menu. Once 

done, all the menus and windows 

will appear in English. The 

program uses the normal locale 

catalogues that were introduced 

with Workbench 2.1 but it does not 

automatically detect which language 

you are using which is a little strange, 

but once done you do not have to do it 

again. 

FUNCTION ICON 

— 

St_, 

As standard the tool dock that is built in 

AmiAllas is turned off so you will probably 

want to turn this on as well. This gives you a 

lovely scrollable selection of icons at the top of 

the map window. From here most of 

ArmAtlas's functions are available. 

When you first run AmiAtlas it loads up the 

last map you were using and it is possible to 

set a start location. Therefore, every time it is 

run, AmiAtlas will always be centred on your 

chosen place. In this case you will be presen• 

ted with a map of Germany. 

When it conies to how you have the maps 

loaded, AmiAtias is very flexible. As long as you 

have enough memory you can load as many 

maps in as you want. It is also very simple to 

add another map to an existing one, and you 

LAKING IT WORK 

Installation of AmiAtlas is through the standard Amiga Installer so no 

problem there. The program and German maps are extracted from the 

first two disks into their own drawer and an assign has to be made in 

your user-startup. If you then wont to install any other maps these come 

separately on another disk, are again installed using the Amiga installer, 

which is copied straight into the AmiAtlas directory into a new drawer, 

each country having a separate drawer

can merge maps to create a single new map 

file, so removing the hassle of having to load 

multiple maps in the first place. 

Guiding your way around the map is a very 

simple business - you can use the cursor keys 

to scroll around or for larger jumps the proportional 

sliders are available. An elastic band 

zoom enables you to get a doser look at which 

ever roads or towns take your fancy. Even on a 

plain Al200 the map redraws are very quick - 

you will have to start twiddling you thumbs if 

you load both the UK and German maps and 

zoom right out, but then you are being a bit 

silly so it serves you right

Ai Mohr longs for the wide aril

the route planner, AmiAtlas 

what should or should not be shown on the 

map. From the point of view of drawing the 

land, things like islands and rivers can be 

removed, along with the ability to tell AmiAtias 

not to bother colouring in the land and sea - 

this would also be helpful if you are running in 

less than 6 colours. 

ROAD MAPPING 

AmiAtlas has a fairly straightforward way of 

organising the roads and towns, going from 

minor back roads up to motorways, and from 

capitals to drive through to towns. Using the 

Map Detail requester you can specify exactly 

which roads and towns should be displayed. It 

is also possible to show motorway cross avers 

and exits. Other details that can be viewed are 

parks, hotels and rivers. Unfortunately, the

• 

IC

r 

- 

English map that comes with AmiAtlas only 

contains the road and towns data. Compared 

to the accompanying German map this is fairly 

sparse, as the German map has full details on 

hotels you can stay at Just ask to view the 

hotels and a bunch of little bed symbols will 

appear on the German map. Click on one of 

them and you get a full run down on that 

hotel, including the full address, phone and fax 

numbers, how much rooms are, what you get 

in the rooms, what other types of functions 

they do, and what credit cards they take - 

pretty extensive I would say. The same goes 

for amusement parks, with AmiAtlas giving 

you information about how much it is to get in 

and what rides and attractions each park has. 

If you wanted, it is possible to enter new 

towns and roads, so it new road routes do 

appear you can update the AmiAtlas map. This 

process is fairly painless. To add a new town 

you just have to dick on the map where the 

new town should be placed. You then, using 

the pop up gadget, select which country and 

county the town should be placed in, along 

with which roads should run into it The same 

process is used to add new roads - you can 

just pick the start and destination towns, along 

with what the road should be called and 

how long it is. The new road is then 

added to the map database, 

and will be used in any 

future route calculations.

and UK maps visible along with any others you 

may add. Unfortunately, you cannot plan routes 

from the UK to Germany as there is no French 

map to fill the gaps in between, and the 

absence of any fern/ routes or a channel tunnel 

route would also make it a little difficult It 

would be interesting to see if this would be 

possible if you did have the French map, and 

such things like ferry routes were taken into 

account 

The main problems with AmiAtlas all come 

about because it is a German product if you 

were German you would not have any complaints 

with the program. but English people 

are generally different and can be a little picky 

about things. It is a little annoying that you have 

to tell it that you are working in English, and 

that you also need to state that you want 

money to be worked out in pounds. Fair 

enough - there are at, least, options to allow 

you to change the currency and language, but it 

would be nice if it could do this automatically. 

ARD TO 

FAULT 

Any criticisms I have managed to dig up 

here are really very minor - things like the 

kilometre measurement are a little annoying, 

but they do not change the fact that 

the program is very useful. If you ignore 

these slight niggles, AmiAtlas is nearly 

flawless. If the programmer could remove 

the leftover foreign words and allow miles 

instead of Kilometres I would not be able 

to fault it in any way. Currently, the only 

other major problem is that the on-line 

help has not been translated, but AmiAtias 

is so easy to use you do not need it

0 • something, ver since mankind we have first been picked fasci- up 

nated by building things with our bare hands. 

Our tools were at first primitive; flint replaced 

wood, bronze replaced flint, iron replaced 

bronze, but we used them to help us develop 

other useful things such as transport and 

shelter. 

In recent years our cars, aeroplanes and 

buildings have become so complex that we 

use computers to help us make them instead 

of set squares, axes and magnifying glasses, 

and building things has become a more 

abstract process. There are people alive today 

who could build a complex motorcar or an 

office block that have never done so in the 

real world. . 

COMPUTER WORLD 

Their achievements are all based in the virtual 

world of the computer. Even films are 

being made on computers with silicon actors 

replacing the real thing. Films like Disney's 

• Toy Story or ITV's ReBoot are paving the way 

forward using the latest technology to build 

their worlds. 

So welcome to the wonderful world of 3D 

according to Cinema4D. Ifs a new package 

of German origin on offer from HiSoft 

Systems and is a low-cost competitor to the 

likes of Imagine. Real 303 and LightWave. 

But before we start comparing features, let's 

have a look at the product. Cinema4D comes 

on six disks which have to be installed on a 

minimum of a Workbench 2,04 machine with 

9Mb hard disk space, but Cinema4D definitely 

prefers Workbench 3 and takes advantage 

of the AGA chipset to the full. 

If, like me, you have an older EC5 

machine, but you have a graphics card, then 

Cinema4D will happily work on a high resolution 

display, but it seems that the current 

version isn't overly keen on chunky pixel 

screenmodes, so it might be best to run on a 

planar screen if your RIG software supports 

it. 

Usually, the conversion is only run on

screen with more than a certain number of 

bitplanes, so you might be able to get around 

it that way - the only thing you'll lose is the 

ability to render in a window on the 

Cinema4D screen as the interface itself only 

relies on a lout colour palette. Other than 

that, unlike current versions of LightWave and 

Imagine, there are no limitations for graphics 

card owners and considerable advantages, 

the most obvious of which is the increased 

fineness of the vectors used to represent 

objects on the screen which is a definite help 

when your scene is getting cluttered. 

So let's have a look at the software. First 

impressions are very good. Here's a piece of 

software with a stylish grey interlace, sharp 

looking icons in toolbox windows, and a 

main window which can show several 

invisible, and will even start to perform automatically 

when your object database gets too large so that you 

don't end up just getting an out of memory warning 

(your machine crashes).

different views, all at once or one at a time. If 

you want to you can run more than one 

main window to give you a number of differeht 

views of your scene. To save space, your 

toolbox icons are actually pop-up menus 

which save further space by doubling up 

their functions. This is also a time-saving 

feature and one that comes in very handy. 

Pop 

The - way it works is that if you select one of 

up these pop-up options it works using the 

defaults set into the program, but if you are 

holding down the shift key or using the right 

mouse button to pop up the menu, releasing 

the mouse button over a pop-up menu item 

will open a dialogue window to let you alter 

the settings the item will use. For instance, if 

you choose the cube item from the 'Create 

primitive' pop-up menu, CinematID will 

chuck out a cube 200mm across by default 

However, if you hold down the shift key 

while selecting the cube, you will be presented 

with a numeric requester in which to put 

the dimensions of your object. 

The same principle applies to menu items 

as well as the pop-ups, although you are 

obviously restricted to using the shift key to 

get to the settings requesters as you are 

already using the right mouse button to 

open the menus in the first place. However, 

what is odd is the fact that with all this space 

saving, CinemailD still offers you both a disc 

primitive and a cylinder object, even though 

you could always just extrude the disc. 

The same applies for the cube and rectangle 

items and it does seem odd that you can 

only enter one dimension for a cube (side 

length). Okay, so a cube is supposed to have 

equal length sides all round, but it would be 

more ergonomic to allow the user to enter 

all the dimensions of the cube to create 

boxes of differing sizes more quickly than 

having to scale the cube in different directions 

to create the same effect 

This is the main problem with Cinema4D 

and it also plagues Imagine (to a greater 

extent I would say). The way the interface 

worts isn't as fluid as it could be, forcing the 

user to use an awkward combination of the 

mouse and keyboard to achieve what she 

nt-eds to. Working with a mouse is great if

skills, never touching a keyboard shortcut - 

but most people want their work to progress 

as speedily as possible, so therefore want to 

be able to circumvent the sometimes 

lengthy process of moving the mouse to and 

Ito to go from the object to the toolbar and 

back to the object and so on. Cinema4D has 

a number of shortcuts, especially for the 

menu items, but needs a method by which 

you can select the move, scale and rotate 

OFX DEPARTMENT 

Just like Imagine, OnemailD can add effects to an actor in its 

animation timeline window. This window is very reminiscent 

of Imagine's Stage editor but unlike Imagine, its use doesn't 

preclude you from doing anything else, Along with the usual 

and pretty pedestrian explode effect there are more impressive 

ones such as the pulse effect where you can alter the 

shape of a range of objects according to a mathematical 

formula, such as a sine wave 

Objects pulsed in this fashion react in different ways 

according to whether you have chosen to include sub-objects 

in the wave or not and some pretty interesting results con 

develop, especially since you can define a pulse for not only 

the size of the object but also its position and direction. 

Just like almost every other 3D package I have worked 

with, Cinerna4D allows you to morph one object into another, 

but again, just like every other 3D package I have used, you 

have to make sure that both objects have exactly the same 

number of points and edges. 

Cinema4D also has two other effects that I have never 

seen in a low-end package anywhere, and they ore Vibration

Cinema4D has so many ancillary features 

that it becomes hard to find the 

space to mention them all, but ones to 

be noted include the separate ray tracer 

which can be run on its own, taking 

advantage of all available memory (the 

other advantage is that versions of the 

ray tracer could be written to take 

advantage of a co-processor board like 

MacroSystem's DEC Alpha board or 

Phase5's Powertip without the need to 

convert the entire package). Cinema4D 

also has an object converter that will 

read a wide variety of objects and convert 

for use in Cinema411 

functions more easily than by using the 

mouse. 

But I don't want to give you the idea that 

Cinema4D isn't any good. It has some 

absolutely superb methods of working 

including an object hierarchy similar to that 

used by Real3D. In fact, if you have used 

)1 

, 

and Melt. Melt does exactly what you might think and is 

actually a bit limited in its uses. You can almost do exactly 

what Melt does by stretching your object vertically down to 

nothing over the course of your animation, while stretching 

it out horizontally to make it look like o puddle is being 

created. 

Having said that it is nice that CinemailD provides an 

option to do this automatically, saving you the trouble. Of 

course, it doesn't do any of the funky things that Dynamation 

can do like melting your object so that it pours down a tunnel 

or splits in two when melted over a knife, but then the only 

machines you can perform these feats on is on SO, and if 

you've got the money to buy one of those, and Dynamation, 

then you won't be interested in Cinema4D anyway. 

The lost effect and one I can think of plenty of uses for, is 

called Vibrate. This randomly jitters the selected object in 

terms of its size, position or rotation over a length of time. The 

effect is completely random and the only parameters you 

have to enter are for maximum extents of the jitter in either 

direction.

Real3D (particularly v1.4) and Imagine, you 

• swiftly feel at home using Cinema4D. But 

Cinema4D has features such as the automatic 

determination of units and the ability to 

use maths in numeric requesters (if you can't 

be bothered to work out the individual 

lengths of the walls in a non-rectangular 

room this comes in very handy), the background 

grid gets scaled with the display and 

disappears if it gets too small, unlike 

Imagine's, and the ability (if you run your 

Cinema4D screen in enough colours) to be 

able to render in a window on the 

Cinema4D screen is also a nice touch. 

On the minus side, Cinema4D won't work 

with Postscript fonts (just like old versions of 

Real3D, fonts have to be built by hand and are 

all separate objects. You are supplied with two 

- Helvetica and Diamond - which both look 

pretty similar) and has no algorithmic textures 

at all, so anything other than solid colours has 

to be scanned, grabbed or hand-painted.

that even if it had taken me the same time, it

Cinema4D, but it felt harder to create the 

scene and am familiar with Imagine. 


FEBRUARY 1996 

HERE ARE MY ACTORS 

Cinema40 has or) inverse kinematics system built in and very handily comes with a 

mannequin object ready to roll at the click of a button. The 1K system that comes with 

Cinema4D doesn't have any form of constraints that would be required to stop your elbow 

bending backwards, but that notwithstanding is actually damn easy to use and, apart from 

the odd hand pointing the wrong way, is pretty accurate. Although this doesn't make 

character animation into something as simple as a simple thing, it certainly beats 

manually positioning limbs hands down and is so much faster that you'll probably end up 

using it all the bloody time. 

erly is superb and gives absolute control over 

texturing. The way it works is that you edit a 

grid which overlays your object which is subject 

to all the same tools as the objects themselves, 

such as rotate, move and scale 

The type of grid that appears depends on 

the type of texture wrap you have chosen - 

choose a planar map and you just get a flat 

squarish grid, but choose cylindrical or spherical 

mapping and you end up with a full or par- 

the b! isn't tha t assay to se e whoa

tial cylinder or sphere surrounding your object 

Back on the positive side, Cinema4D has a 

help bar which constantly comments on whatever 

item your pointer lingers over, and 

Cinema4D's requesters all check your input 

and won't let you leave until you enter a figure 

which meets the minimum or maximum criteria. 

Cinema4D's numeric requesters also 

remember what figures you last entered, sav. 

ing a lot of time when building a large number 

of similar objects. 

It also has some funky features like being i 

able to set the light for your scene based on 

longitude and latitude settings, and a calendar 

to accurately recreate daylight, and a mathematical 

perturber for objects that allows you to 

change a ball into some sort of weird sea 

anemone in one easy step. L f f

Well, that's all we've got room for. 

Cinema40 is a good package that needs 

some tweaking to make it a great package 

and is certainly a competitor for Imagine. 

With version 3 already looming on the horizon 

Onema4D looks set for a bright future.

d 

While the return of the Amiga to 

• 

_ production was good news for 

any company in the market, the absence of 

• 

any of Softwood's software from Amiga 

Technologies' , Magic Pack must have been a 

worrying 1 issue for the makers of such well 

known 9 programs as Final Writer. 

Worse 9 still, arch-rivals Digita International 

had 5 a virtual monopoly on the contents of 

the pack w as far as the serious applications 

were aconcerned. 

While the bundle represented 

a s reasonably good deal for the consumer, 

it must have made rivals wonder if continued 

n 

development 

o 

of their products were worthwhile. 

After all, how many new Amiga own- 

t 

ers are going to buy something like Final 

Writer 

t 

if they already have a wordprocessor 

supplied h for free 1 

Nevertheless, e Final Calc has now been 

released k after four years of development, and 

the iinitial 

comparison with the Magic Pack's 

Turbo n Calc looks favourable. The question is, 

however, d does it offer enough that's new to 

win ea 

large user base of its own? 

INTERFACE 

s 

t 

To begin with that all important interface, 

o 

Final Calc doesn't look quite so polished as 

PC f industry standards like Excel and Lotus 

1-2-3, y but essentially the introduction of too 

,bars eand 

drag and drop data manipulation 

follows a their example in creating a userfriendly 

r environment, As you'd expect from 

any sprofessional 

Amiga program, you can 

control many functions in a variety of ways, 

from using drop down menus to keyboard 

short cuts. 

Important for the beginner is Final CaIc's 

on-line help facility. Whenever you select a 

command from a menu it will usually give 

you an explanatory option from an 

AmigaGuide_ What's more, the instructions to 

be found are more helpful than the token aid 

you get from too many Amiga on-line help 

guides. Remember also that Softwood have a 

help forum in which you can get technical 

advice on Compuserve_ Equally valuable for a 

INA!. 

DEMAND 

It has to be said thot the price probably 

,precludes most casual Amigo users looking 

for something cheap to keep track of 

their personal finances. It's also a fact that 

this is Softwood's most demanding product 

as far as your Amigo's specification is 

concerned as well. 

Though Final Data will work with 2Mb 

of RAM, they freely admit that to get a 

respectable level of functionality out of it 

you realty need at least 3Mb. Not surprisingly, 

you'll also need a hard drive with 

5Mb of free space since you can't run it 

off floppy. AmigaGuide and Affexx 

libraries are also highly recommended, 

Though the requirements are fairly 

high, however, it's probably worth it for 

someone who really needs a more professional 

spreadsheet to work on at home. 


FEBRUARY 1996 

technically daunting program like a 

Spreadsheet, Final Cak's good quality documentation 

makes it worth a few extra bob in 

itself. A Ring-binder containing extensive 

chapters on every detail of the program you 

could possibly want to know about realty sets 

an example for Amiga products we can only 

hope is followed elsewhere. The only flaw in 

my view is the absense of a step-by-step 

tutorial, something that makes getting into 

the program that bit more difficult_ 

Fortunately, behind the glossy exterior you 

will find a number crunching program of 

immense power and flexibility. There's a 

comprehensive array of editing functions 

you'd expect - for example the ability to edit 

formulas and paste filenames, date strings,

time formats, and cell ranges. There's a 

an amazing 178 maths functions wit 

comparison and logical operators. 

Final Calc uses a 'Recalc System' to cal 

late the value of formulas in each project. 

Basically, the Recalc scans through the project 

looking for formulas that need solving 

evaluating the value of the formula in each 

cell, and then storing the result back into 

each cell. In Final Calc this all occurs auto- 

RABS TH 

. 

A 

Final Cale probably has the edge over a 

rival in terms of manipulative power, but 

its primary selling point is more likely 

to be its superiority in terms of data 

presentation. 

There is on extensive variety of gra L 

to chose from, allowing data to be p 

sented in numerous different ways - kg 

example, there's stacked bar graphs, pie 

charts and X-Y-Z scatters. These are presented 

in 2D by default but each of them 

can instantly be transformed into a more 

visually linpressive 3D model at the did 

of o button, 

Generating a graph from a range a 

data really is very easy, but customising 

to your requirements is more of a problem, 

It's possible to include titles, lege 

and notes around the visual data, but

matically in the background and you can continue 

to work while it's happening - unless 

you prefer to recalculate manually, that is. 

If you make a mess of the accounts, however, 

Softwood's program has a distinct 

advantage in its unlimited undo function. 

Final Calc keeps track of all the changes you 

make to a projects data, and allows you to 

undo any changes made up to the first 

change since you loaded or started the project 

Even better, if you mistakenly undo one 

of your changes you can then redo it under 

the same principaL 

SMART PRESENTATION 

As you will have gathered if you've read the 

section on the program's graph generating 

capabilities, Final Calc is heavily geared 

towards the smart presentation of data. With 

this in mind 'Outline Fonts' are used when 

printing in order to achieve a better quality of 

print from the printer. It supports Postscript 

Type 1 and 3 files and Macintosh ATM font 

files as well as Softwood font files. 

Final Calc will also prove valuable for those 

using industry standard Lotus I -2-3.wkl 

spreadsheet files at work, and who occasionaly 

want to work on them on their Amiga at 

home, since the program supports this type 

of file_ 

More common but equally important for 

this type of program is the ability to implement 

Macros that will automate a series of 

operations, with obvious benefits on your

frankly it seemed unnecessarily tricky to get 

the results I anticipated. Similarly, you can 

alter the colours of just about everything, 

7 but again it seems like a surprisingly complex 

process. Of course, reading the manual 

properly overcomes this, but it's less user 

friendly in this particular respect than I hod 

hoped for. 

Still there's no doubt that spreadsheets 

on the Amiga have never looked so good 

before, and this is important if you're in the 

business of illustrating conclusions about a 

set of data. 

Another breakthrough is Final Calc's 

ability to animate graphs so that changes 

through time can be displayed. This is 

undertaken using the Edit Animation wins

play, so that ring-bound manual will again

productivity as a consequence. The toolkd is 

also a standard but necessary component of 

the spreadsheet, allowing users to import 

and export text and perform search and 

replace operations. A further strength is Final 

Calc's ability to treat data in a project range 

as a database.

FEBRUARY 1996 

VERDICT 

So how does it shape up against the competition? 

Well the good news is that Final Calc 

outclasses any other Amiga spreadsheet in 

many respects. Its range of mathematical 

formulas should be sufficient even for full-time 

accountants, and unlimited undo/redo functions 

and online help ore the sort of functions 

that make daunting programs more tolerable 

in use. 

Of course, Final Cale particularly shines 

because of its presentation tools. This is not 

just a superficial benefit either, since a range 

of graphs give users valuable choices over 

how they present their raw data. VVhether animation 

will be worthwhile for many users or 

merely a gimmick is unclear, but it's worth 

giving people the option to experiment 

There are numerous other plus points too, 

like the program's support for Lotus I-2-330f I 

files. However, though the program can import 

ASCII files from Final Data, they've failed to follow 

Lotus's example and push Cok as port of 

an overall Amiga suite. For years it's been possible 

to generate a graph in Lotus 1-2-3 and 

then easily incorporate it into on AmiPro wordprocessor 

document, so it would make sense 

for Softwood to advocate a similar use of 5nal 

Cak and Final Writer. 

Generally, I think more work needs to go 

into making Final Cak a more instinctive, easy 

program to use, though no number of pretty 

icons are going to make a spreadsheet the 

easiest type of software to get to grips with. 

The online help Is a good start and the manual 

is excellent, but some functions still seem 

unnecessarily complicated 

Then of course there's the matter of price. 

Final Cak isn't cheap, but then it offers a level 

of professionalism that justifies it The Amiga 

deserves a spreadsheet package for the more 

serious user, and this is certainly a good step 

in the right direction.

The walls are elaborately decorated 

with garish paintings and the 

6 he train pulls in to Halifax station. 

, _ w o r d 'Eureka is splashed everywhere_ 

A noisy troop of school kids leave the 

train and rush down a sandy track towards an 

equaly garish building. The venue for the day 

was the Eureka museum in Halifax, Yorkshire, 

but immediately things seemed very strange - 

the many children all damounng to get in the 

doors all looked unusually excited about the 

prospect of spending the morning in a 

museum. 

However, Eureka, as I later found out, is no 

ordinary museum - it's interactive and is 

specifically designed for even the most inquisitive 

of children who want to touch, explore or 

even kick the exhibits. As Pippa Hardcastle, 

Press and PR Co-ordinator for the muse• 

um told me: The children have the 

opportunity for a 'hands on' experience. 

It makes the learning process 

so much easier," 

The museum is divided into 

three sections and every one of the 

350 exhibits has to be as robust 

and sturdy as possible - children 

will be children after all. The first is 

Me and My Body where you can 

play Digestion Pinball or turn the 

pedals to see how your skeleton 

works. The second is Invent. Create 

and Communicate where children can 

try their hand at broadcasting the news 

and lastly, Living and Working Together 

where, for instance, the workings of a bathroom 

are explained. There is also a fourth' in 

. development called Things. 

APPEARANCES 

But what on esti]) has this got to do with the 


1 believe it or not, behind some of the high-tech 

yo exhibits and interactive displays is actually a 

u rather humble looking Amiga. Well, two 

aAmigas r to be precise. But appearances can be 

e 

deceptive because despite the Amiga being 

swamped by the many other forms of techno- 

p r 

logical machinery that control the museum, the 

oAmigas b operate two of the most imaginative 

adisplays b there. 

l y Walk into the Bedroom section of Living and 

wWorking 

Together and you will find a display 

ocaled 

Dreams, and in front of you a monitor, 

nThe 

inquisitive child will find that when they 

dface 

the screen their image is picked up and 

eprojected 

onto the it - much to their delight! 

r 

Three 

i 

backgrounds then run together in 

n 

sequence, one being balloons, the next fish, 

and then a 'raining cats and dogs' storm. The 

g 

camera picks up the child's image, digitises it, 

. and the Amiga 5000 puts the whole picture 

Wtogether. 

On the balloons screen, for exam

the child can then move their

Pippa Hardcastle remarked, whilst showing 

me around the museum, that the children 

seemed to pick up on new technology far 

easier than their bewildered looking parents, 

As she spoke we saw one child take a mouse 

off their embarrassed technophobic parent 

and immediately continue operating the 

display. 

Eureko believe it is important to reinforce 

.1111111..- 

Tina Hackett takes a look at 

how a museum for children is 

using the Amiga to bring 

interactive exhibits to life 

arms to 'touch' the balloons that are flying past, 

and the computer system picks up on this and 

pops the balloon. 

This innovative system is called InVideo and 

has been developed by American '70's singer 

supremo, Dean Friedman. Alter reaching the 

dizzy heights of pop stardom, Friedman turned 

his hand to multimedia and tailor-made the 

this and from 10 February until 26 March 

they are holding a temporary exhibition 

called Megaton, with Computers aimed at 

increasing children's confidence with 

Information Technology. It will house 22 

computer and video-based exhibits and children 

will be able to try things like starring in 

their own video, create soundscapes and 

cycle in a 30 city. 

Jim WI llia mson e xpia ins why 

the Amiga is gma l ine Int 

system specifically for Eureka. The project has 

been extremely successful and has taken off all 

over the world. 

InVideo's Neal Fink explained the idea 

behind it: 'It's a virtual reality system without 

t NVIDEO ARO 

After Friedman's success with the InVideo system 

at Eureka, the project has been developed 

for many other venues and other purposes. 

The company behind it all is called In Video 

Systems, Inc and they describe their system as 

an - 

un which allows participants to step inside a video 

en game and interact in real-time with animated 

cu objects.' 

mb 

As well as 'Dreams' they have also found 

the system perfect for 'Virtual Volleyball which 

er has been installed in the Museum of Science 

ed 

in Boston amongst others. It simulates the 

vactual 

game of volleyball on a beach and 

ieight 

players can have a go at this realistic

peripherals or goes" Apparently this proves 

ideal in a what needs to be a 'child proof' 

museum as there are no extra peripherals or 

attachments for a child to damage. It also 

makes interacting as simple and fuss-free as 

• possible. 

The Amiga-based InVideo system can also 

be found downstairs in the Panasonic Theatre. 

Walking in to the theatre you find a huge 

saeen in front of you with all manner of weird 

colourful things cast on to it from a video 

projector. This time its controlled by an A3000 

and once again the InVideo system comes into 

es own. A camera picks up the image of the 

chid and projects it back in full colour - unlike 

tre Dreams exhibit which is in one colour. One 

mercise involves letters of the alphabet moving 

around the screen - the child can reach 

out_ touch it, and it will turn into an object 

beginning with that letter - B, for example, 

turns into a butterfly. Ibis is great for children 

with disabilities" explains Hardcastle. 'It gives 

them a chance to interact with something eas- 

A similar sort of thing can be done with 

numbers too, and helps the younger ,age 

group with number recognition and learning. 

Mother exercise is called AirPaint which is 

like a human paintbox and allows the child to 

nidi up colours from a palette and draw them 

across the screen with their body. 

Jim Williamson is the museum's technical 

manager and is very pleased with how well 

the Amiga system works: "If we were considerrig

machine and suits the task well." 

Not related to the Amiga, but also cleated 

by Friedman, is the Music Box. Children can 

create tunes with different parts of the body 

such as walking across the musical stepping 

stones or sitting on each stool which then lets 

out a honk from one of the giant horns. 

Walking around, you realise just how well 

designed Eureka is, Each section is geared to 

the National Curriculum and because of the 

variety, each age and ability seams to be 

catered for. 

'WARD WINNING 

Eureka are certainly on to a winning forrnula 

with their lively approach to learning_ Since it 

opened in July 1992, it has attracted over one 

million visitors and they hope to have this figure 

topping 1.5 million before Easter. 

Patronised by HRH The Prince of Wales, the 

museum has earned itself 15 top awards 

including the 1993 Visitor Attraction of the 

Year from the English Tourist Board_ In 1994 

they also won the National Heritage/IBM 

Museum of the Year award for the most imaginative 

use of interactive and multimedia technology. 

It seems that this new breed of museum 

is certainly in demand and people are 

favouring them in place of the dusty museums 

of the past where noise was frowned upon 

and touching the exhibits was definitely out of 

order, 

If you want to see Eureka for yourself it can 

be found in Halifax, West Yorkshire and is situated 

next to the railway station. It is open daily 

from 10am until 5pm. Prices range from E4_50 

for an adult to E3.50 for children aged 3 to 12.

ELIEVER ' D rIN 

AMIGA 

The Eureka museum in Halifax eis not x the only museum to see the virtues 

of an Amiga-based system. The h London i Transport Museum on Covent 

Garden is already reaping the bbenefits i using an Amiga and CD32-based 

t 

system. The CD.32s provide touch screen computers Which display 

various information such as the Underground hypermap. But what's particularly 

impressive is the 1938 Underground train simulator. The front 

window of the train has been replaced with a computer screen with 

graphics controlled by the Amiga 4000. Two other simulators of on 1890 

and 1992 models are controlled by A2000's. 

More recently, Amiga Computing covered how the London War 

Museum use a similar touch screen system in their building. Scala's 

Infochannel is used to convey information about the exhibits on to 

screens around the museum, There is also a Scala touch screen display 

used for their Civilian Dead exhibit.

the films

Bond's derring do took

location around Britain, 

me ton 

an even smaller scale than that, as 

enes like the radar dish rising out of the 

Ater , were 90 per cent modelled (not in 3D 

grass, trees and other vegetation are very 

ird to - get looking realistic and the waves 

Din the lake are practically impossible to 

like In 30). All that existed in real life was 

the path that 

Pierce Brosnan 

and Izabella Scorupco were walking along. 

The same principle applies to the scene 

where Scorupco climbs out of the ruined 

radar tower in Siberia and wanders through 

the burning ruins, Only the path she took 

was actually real, with the remainder being 

created in model shops by extremely skilled 

craftsmen. And it is in Siberia that the 

Amiga's main contribution was made to the 

realistic and cheap completion of the film. 

Even with the disbanding of the Soviet Union 

and the availability of Russian airforce jets to 

perform the flying, 

how much do you 

think it would have 

cost the producers of 

Coldeneye to rent 

three MiG-29's (plus 

another to film from) 

for the flight past the 

radar tower, let alone 

the cost of blowing 

them up? 

Well, I don't know 

either, but it was obviously 

too much for the producers 

who approached Alan Marques 

and the Magic Camera Company to 

see if they could do it cheaper. You might 

remember Alan Marques from a feature we 

did last year about the use of the Amiga in 

another film - CyberJack - and he and the 

Amiga have been very busy ever since. I 

caught up with him last 

Friday and spoke to 

him: 

"One of the 

reasons why 

we used the 

t • AIM? M arques burne d the 

midnight oil to ge t Goldeneye 

linilhe d on time 

CI The powe r be hind toghtWove . this Ra ptor 

was re sponsible For re nde ring the MAC Frames 

Amiga on Goldeneye, or rather LightWave, is 

because we had used it on Cyberlack. We 

knew it as a very, very good renderer, We 

were still using Wavetront as our core system 

for some of Goldeneye, but the Wavefront 

renderer isn't very good. It doesn't do motion 

blur or anything like that So we had to have 

a system that does all that There were these 

shots in Goldeneye where they wanted the 

MiG-29s coming from infinity - a pinpoint - 

and moving towards the camera, roaring 

over it. We have a motion control rig on M 

stage which we used for a lot of the shots in 

Goldeneye, but when you have a 2' miniature 

of a MiG-29 and you have a 40 motion 

control track, you can't get the model to a 

pinpoint, you can get it to about an eighth of 

a frame, but you just can't get it any smaller. 

"So, if you're stuck in that position, the 

only thing you can do with the motion control 

rig is pick the model up as a DVE digital 

video effect - i.e. stop the model at a certain 

point, pick it up as a cut-out, then fly the 

cut-out off, you probably know, though, that 

when you do that there is that nasty point 

0•• 

II

38 

when you have to change over and invariably 

you'll always get a jump when that happens. 

So we elected, because we knew the shots 

were high speed and we knew that there 

was going to be a lot of blur, to do the shots 

as a CG effect. 

"So basically, what we did was get a 

model of an F-15 off the Internet, a really 

cheap and nasty 400 polygon model, and did 

some tests with it at video resolution. We got 

a load of background stills of deserts and 

mountains and Evan (Davies - one of Alan's 

team) did some nice texture maps for this 

400 polygon model which was very simple - 

the hull was literally only eight sides. We did 

the textures for it including the cockpit, etc. 

and the whole tests were done in one day, 

DAWN TO DUSK 

We got the model in the morning., did the 

texture maps the same morning, and did the 

three animations in the afternoon at video 

resolution on the backgrounds in LightWave. 

We did the renders of the three of them flying

Since we were on the topic of Light Wove, I asked Alan 

what he thought of LightWave compared to the other 30 

modelling packages he uses, particularly those on the SG/. 

On the whole, Alan is satisfied with how Light Wave is 

turning out, but he said for film production there were 

definitely some things that needed improvement: 

• At the moment LightWave can only display a single one 

bitplane image as a background image. What LightWave 

really needs is a way to show an animation as a backdrop 

so that 3D objects moving across it can be checked for 

consistency. 

• Although it is good that Light Wave has now got on 

inverse kinematics function, it needs to have several 

improvements made to it namely the ability to 'stick' part 

of an object to another object like a foot to the floor or a 

hand to a cup, to make it really useful_ 

• Another important addition to LightWave's animation 

tools would be the possibility to animate a switch between 

targets or parent objects so that you could aim a gun at 

one object then move the sight onto another in the course 

of an animation,

software he didn't have at the time. He also 

added that in his opinion, lightWave is one 

of the fastest renderers in the world for 

motion blur, ray tracing and so on. 

"So we used lightWave with the F-15s. At 

video resolution with three F-1Ss, 400 polys 

each, full motion blur, fully ray traced shadows 

and reflections we were getting about a 

minute a frame on the Raptor. When they 

approved the shots they said they had three 

effects for us to do and they ended up using 

two of the shots we provided - the third was 

• Still on the topic of animation tools, the way motion 

paths are edited in the requester leaves something to be 

desired. A Bezier method with handles on the control 

points would make more sense. 

• One of imagine's tools that Light Wave could benefit 

from is the ability to 'associate' objects to one another, For 

instance, a mllercoaster animation with several carriages 

can be animated travelling along the rails in Imagine reasonably 

easily, with each carriage following on from the 

one in front, but in Light Wove you would have to load the 

same motion path in for each carriage and work out an 

offset for each key frame. 

Overall, Alan believes LightWave's modeller to be pretty 

good but adds that there really ought to be a function that 

is the opposite of meta form - on intelligent polygon This 

would have made the process of simplifying the ViewPoint 

MiG-29 dawn from the 10,000-odd polygons it started as 

into the 533 polygon object it became. As it was, the original 

model had to be loaded into a background layer in the 

modeller and traced over - in essence the Magic Camera 

Company ended up making a whole new model.

"Basically, we had the three MiGs flyin

were flying over mountains_ We had to get

had to have a proper MiG-29 and nobo 

had a MiG-29 on the Internet that was art

In _ a nd fully te xture d 

bricks , they weren't going down to fine 

detail - and guess what, it's conveited from 

another format. There were a lot of single 

point polygons in it which, once we had 

searched the database 

and sorted it out, 

caused us no further 

problems. 

'So we solved that 

one, got some nice texture 

snaps on them, and animated 

them in LightWave over 

the background plate, matching 

the lighting to the background 

frame we had. On the 

Raptor Plus we've got, which is a 

lx MIP54600 machine, we were 

rendering the three M1G-29s at 

about 500 polygons each for a total 

of 1500 polys - not much, but then 

we were using full-on motion blur, 

say traced shadows and reflections 

and we were getting 

about six minutes a frame 

which was very good at I k 

horizontal. 

This was the same trick we 

piled on Cyberlack. We never render 

it the resolution of a film because 

ty time we do that the CGI is too 

sharp, it just doesn't even remotely 

lit into the background. You 

end up blurring 

th e 

image to go into the background 

using filters which 

take time to do the work. So 

we do it at half resolution and 

blow it up. 

The biggest problem we 

had, and the real killer because 

NewTek wouldn't give me a beta 

copy of LightWave 4, was the lack 

of a pixel aspect ratio setting for 

LightWave. It's now in version 4, but it 

wasn't in 3.5. If you're doing an 

anamorphic film you need to have a 

squeezed image. Therefore, you need to be 

able to render an image at, say, lk x 860 but 

at a pixel aspect ratio that will make the 

image deliberately squashed so that it would 

be right for anamorphic when its stretched 

out. 

"We couldn't do that in the version of 

LightWave we had, so we had to do the 

most bizarre renders in LightWave to get 

anamorphic results. We had to render twice 

the height, then crop it and cut it out, and 

then stretch it to get an anamorphic result It 

was very hard,

What's happened to the support for the Amiga comms 

scene? I can appreciate that the Internet is a massive success 

but there is the large number of BBS sites out there 

that you seem to have forgotten. Almost all of the public 

domain sector software that gets reviewed in your maga- 

"P 

zine has originated from various BBS sites, not on the 

Internet. Granted, some new stuff does come from the 

Internet, but the majority of it originates from the private 

BBS scene. I know as over the last two years NFA 

PO/Productions have had over one hundred reviews in 

various magazines, 

When you call a private BBS, the sysop has control over 

what files are available. The Internet is running wild with 

pornography, piracy, and files on how to blow your arms 

off. Once a file is on the Internet it is almost impossible to 

delete as the file goes to hundreds of sites within a few 

days. A private system is also generally used by only two 

or three people at a time, so the system doesn't slow 

down to a Snaik pace on a Sunday. However, this does 

restrict the number of users that can connect in a 24-hour 

period, but to compensate for this there are hundreds of 

private systems around the world including many eastern 

bloc countries. 

As far as e-mail goes, the Internet wins hands down. 

However, there are some really good mail networks that 

connect thousands of users across Europe like the Missing 

Unk and Fidonet to name but two. Most private BBSs will 

support at least one of these networks. 

We should like to see a small area of your magazine 

given over to advertise BBS sites because we feel very

differ from the NTSC ones in only a few 

respects. Firstly, the UK Amigas are all 

shipped with a 240v transformer for power. 

Secondly, you would need to change the 

modulator and a timing chip if you wanted 

to use your Amiga at any time with video 

(including genlodo). Other than that if you 

got one of the new multiscan monitors, it 

should work alright. 

As for ugly drawers and icons, we have a 

variety of machines in the office and while 

no-one really likes the newicons approach, 

we do have a couple of MagicWB-equipped 

Amigas and some that still use the standard 

four colour icons. All you have to say to your 

friends is that they should take note of the 

ignored by you and we do reach many hundreds of dedicated 

Amiga users every day. We organise meetings of 

users and stands at computer fairs, so we do do our bit for 

the Amiga scene. 

A point worth mentioning to parents who may be reading 

these pages is that you shouldn't just buy your child a 

modem and give them an hour a day on the phone. Sit 

with them and monitor what they are doing as there are 

some very strange people out there (people who won't 

use their real names for instance - ES). Give them some 

of your time - even if you don't fully understand what 

your child is doing you will recognise titles like 

'randynursejpg', etc. 

Well that's enough moaning. I would now like to be 

blunt and ask for a plug for our UK bulletin boards. All the 

latest issues of The Word are available and people may 

wish to upload their articles, etc, if they wish them to be 

included. All these sites are open from BPM-BAM and are 

mail linked. 

All speeds of modem may connect to our sites from 

300 baud up as we believe a lot of people buy cheap 

modems for a start, and if they enjoy what they see a 

faster modem normally follows. We are doing our best to

ELF HELP .ammi 

I have owned my Amiga 1200 for about two 

years now To start with I used it mostly for 

games and DPaint, but since then I have 

bought a hard drive, accelerator and monitor 

and agree that if the Amiga is to continue 

users must keep their machines up to date, 

Rut more importantly than that, they must 

also know how to use them properly. Since 

*grading, my Amiga has become ten times 

more usable, but if 1 hadn't spent the time

half as much benefit from the upgrades as I

OXPANSION ANGST 

Who says that good things can't come from bad ones? With Amiga Worlds demise I am now 

blessed with your publication and I believe you are 'Numero Uno'. 

I share B Nicholson's concerns in his letter in issue 4 (English readers will have Mr 

Nicholson's letter in the November issue - ES). As an A3000 owner I have seen very little A3000 

improvements available in the market (I guess Commodore got it right with this design). To go 

straight to the point, perhaps this time Amiga Technologies' engineers could be challenged to 

design a motherboard for the next generation of Amigas that would have a processor slot 

where the CPU would reside and would be easily upgraded but, more importantly, two video 

slots where one would be populated by the video display co-processors and video custom 

chips on a daughterboard. 

Perhaps this would solve the dreaded occasions when an improved video chipset hits the 

market and loyal users were forced to keep up and upgrade, or stagnate with their old Amiga& 

Perhaps Escom could even gain by manufacturing these video processors and making them 

available to other video board manufacturers (maybe they will even make their way into PCs 

and Macs thus gaining greater exposure in the market,. Make the Amiga into an open system. 

I don't want to put down AGA-equipped Amigas but releasing software solely for these units 

actually leaves the rest of the Amiga owners out of the picture. Maybe software libraries and dri- 

vers should be produced by Amiga Technologies and provided to Amiga software developers. 

These patches would allow software to take advantage of the AGA chipset but also third-party 

video boards. Let's face it, many Amiga owners are not going to get rid of their units just to get 

AGA machines. They want to add peripherals (CD-ROMs, ZIP drives, etc.) they can share with 

another computer, while they wait for the next RISC-based Amigas to hit the market 

I sincerely wish the very best to Escom and their Amiga Technologies division. In order to 

maintain the loyalty of Amiga fans, Escom must show a dedication to continuously improve and 

aggressively advertise and market Amigas. And it's up to the users to spread the word_ 

Jose A Ferreira, Kingsland, Go USA 

Obviously, in the computer world it is a case of move or die. Commodore released some 

fine machines and the A3000 was the best of them, but that was five years ago now and it 

is time to get with the plan. However, as you say, it would be better for you to wait for the 

new PowerAmiga rather than spending money on a machine that will be obsolete in about 

12 month's time. 

Amiga Technologies face a difficult task over the coming year in persuading people that 

buying an Amiga actually makes sense. In order to overcome potential purchasers' worries 

about the lack of compatibility the Amiga has with other platforms, I think we will see a 

move to a more standardised machine, possibly without the custom graphics chipset that 

we have become used to, opening the way for third-party graphics cards to take over the 

market.

OINAL WORD 

Just a note to ask why publishers on the 

Amiga don't look for cross-platform compatibility 

in their products. I own copies of both 

Final Copy and Wordworth, yet I cannot 

transfer files between them and my PC at 

work without saving out as ASCII and having 

to redo all my layout work. 

It just seems like developers live in their 

own little worlds and never pay any attention 

to what's going on around them. II 

I that did in my business, I wouldn't make any 

money. 

The computing industry is probably the 

only one where standards are created by 

competing companies which can be used 

industry-wide for better all-round performance, 

but Amiga software houses seem to 

ignore all of it_ 

R A Bryant. Shepstow 

quite agree. The lack of observation 

means that companies end up reinventing 

everything from scratch each time without 

paying attention to what other people 

Me doing, meaning the Amiga loses 

out on some handy features like PNG 

or support for word processor file 

formats.

EIROUBLE WITH A PSU 

have been an Amiga user for nearly 

five years, using an A500. Having 

seen all the really good programs 

that you give away on your cover 

disks, I am now getting an Al200 as I 

feel I am missing out all the time. I have two 

questions I hope you can help me out with. 

Firstly, where can I buy a PSU plug that 

goes into the Amiga? I have asked all the 

shops in Hull, but keep being told that you 

cannot buy them. I would like to make my 

own workstation, but I need the plug for the 

PC PSU. 

My other question is, if I buy an Apollo 

1220 for the Al200, can it be turned off by 

some sort of command? I have been 

informed that some games run too last with 

the accelerator in the trap door. 

Peter Grainger, Hull 

You want to make your own 

power supply unit? I personally 

wouldn't recommend it, 

unless you are 100 per cent 

sure as to what you are doing. There is 

always the risk that you are going to fry 

your Amiga, and normally there is not too 

much need for a more powerful PSU. 

It is, however, possible to do and there 

are a number of files on Aminet that 

explain how to convert a PC power supply 

for use with an Amiga. The most important 

thing is, you must make sure you get 

all the power connections correct otherwise 

you will be the proud owner of one 

ex-Amiga. 

The reason you cannot get hold of an 

Amiga power plug is that it is a none 

standard connection, being used only on 

Amigas. The only way you are going to get 

hold of one is by cutting the plug off your 

old Amiga PSU, and then solder the lead 

to the PC power supply. 

It would also be advisable to double 

check the power output from the PSU 

with a multi tester, before actually 

connecting it to your Amiga. 

As far as I know, there is no way to disable 

the Apollo board without actually 

removing it from the trap door. The only 

EMOTE DEVICES 

Hi. I am Diego and am writing from 

Argentina. I have an Al200 with 6Mb and 

Al200 accelerators I know of that can be 

easily disabled are the Blitzard boards - 

with the 1230 you just hold down the 2 

key when you reset the machine and the 

entire board is disabled. 

Finally, I have not actually played any 

games that suffered from having an accelerator, 

and all Doom clones and flight simulators 

will benefit with a faster screen 

update.

FEBRUARY 1 

ROTEXT PROCRASTINATOR 

Since using a standard Al200 with a 40Mb hard drive, 

Protext v4 has obstinately refused to open its window. tt 

intuition has been allowed to reset the Workbench screen 

once or more since bootup, due to any of the screen, 

palette or font preferences being in ENV:, Protext will 

refuse to open its window. 

It is possible to get Protext to run by either having 

Workbench run in 2 colours - that makes it look really horrible 

- or not allowing IPrefs to run in the startup. 

sequence. The only other way to get Protext to work is by 

using a Workbench screen that is 1900 pixels wide. Protext 

will then open a huge window that is not at all practical to 

use. 

Mr Churchill, Nottingham 

Protext is quite an old program, and even version 4 was 

written with Workbench 1.3 in mind. Having said that, 

there really should be no problems running such an OS 

legal program, unless it is doing something naughty. 

Marks manner, are pretty rare on the Amiga. The 

only one I can think of off the top of my head is 

Knights of the Sky by MicroProse. This is a very 

good World War 1 dog fighting flight sim 

and really zooms along on a Al200, as it was 

written with the A500 in mind. Other than that I 

cannot think of any others, and even all our game 

gurus were stumped. 

With regard to what your friend saw, a couple 

of devices came out that allowed the CD32 to be 

connected to an AI 200. This was via a serial 

cable and using something like serNET which lets 

you access the CD32 drive like any other 

disk from the Workbench. They work well, but the 

real problem with all of these is that they are 

generally quite slow because of the slow serial 

cable. 

ACAS is the name, trouble 

shooting is the game. You've 

got a problem, then we 

can solve it 

You would normally assume, in this sort of case, that 

the program is at fault, but Protext is normally a very 

well behaved program, and version 4.3 should run 

under Workbench 2 without any problems. 

Generally, in these situations you have to assume 

that the program is at fault, but as I have said you 

should not be having any trouble with Protext. Your first 

move would be to check the program tool types. From 

here you can normally adjust certain options to do 

with how a program works. In this instance, an option 

to get Protext to run on its own screen would be nice to 

try. 

After that, you are only really left with trying to 

adjust any window settings from within the program, 

or it is always worth checking that some other 

background program or hack, as some of them can 

turn Out to be, is not interfering with it. Other than 

that, it would be worth considering an upgraded to 

Protext 6.

u If things in life were only so simple. Unfortunately, the program instruc- 

s tions are lying. To use virtual memory in this way, you have to 

i , have a MMU - a memory management unit - fitted to your machine. 

n The 030 version of the A4000 is the EC version, so has no MMU, and 

therefore, g unfortunately, you will not be able to get the advantages of virtual 

memory. m

'Over Drive' hard drive seemed to cost

the Amiga's warranty by slotting 

straight e into the PCMCIA port. Does this 

mean rI 

cannot use the Squirrel interlace? 

6. Using . SCSI CD-ROM drives on the Amiga, 

which A CDs can I use? Philips CD-i, CD32 PC

It would probably have been 

easier just to say tell me 

s 

\ 

IDE drives and the Amiga! IDE 

stands for Integrated Drive Electronics, this 

means that e the hard drive interface is built 

into the 

v 

drive. So when it comes to fitting 

an IDE drive e all you have to do is connect 

it with an r IDE cable. 

To answer y your first two questions, 3.5 

inch drives t are, surprisingly, an inch wider 

and generally h a lot larger than 2.6 inch drives. 

They i also have a separate power supply 

and nare 

quite a bit cheaper, due to 

them being g easier to make. The Al 200 was 

designed 

y 

to take a single 2.5 inch hard 

drive internally, but it is possible to fa a 

o 

3.5 inch drive inside an AI200, although it 

Is quite 

u 

a squeeze and you need to get 

hold of a k special cable to fit it. 

I would n opt for the internal drive, mainly 

because oit 

does not take up any more desk 

space, and w as long as the drive is fitted 

by an authorised a dealer you will not 

run programs which are written for the 

Amiga. Therefore, you may be able to look 

at file on a PC CD, but you cannot run any 

PC programs. 

It is a little difficult to directly compare 

AGA to a PC system. HAM modes are 

unique to the Amiga and can be thought of 

as a pseudo 24-bit display that only 

requires 8 bitplanes. Therefore, on a display 

basis AGA is equivalent to a 2Mb 

SVGA graphics card. Where it loses out is 

on screen update. If you try to run a 256 

colour screen on anything but a low resolution 

screen then AGA starts to show the 

strain. If you then try a Db11 

3screen 

in 256 colours, screen update 

41. almost ngrinds o to a halt 

fl On i PC c systems k e r the effects of running 

higher resolution modes are much less 

pronounced, as PC video cards use video 

RAM. This allows the screen to be updated 

by the computer, as well as being outputted 

to the monitor for display. The AGA 

chipset can only do one of these at a time,

and in high resolution screens, displaying 

chipset i compared with PCs? 

e 

n Andrew, a.m.h.wongt@uclon_acuk 

d 

The OverDrive o hard drives are actually 

IDE mechanisms, 

u 

so IDE drives do not have 

to be fitted 

t 

internally. The main reason for 

the screen takes up so much time that 

there are very few clock cycles left for the 

screen to be re-drawn.

u D QUANDARY 

g 

g I want to add a CD-ROM to my Al200, but the information I am getting 

so. 

e 

about CO-ROMs seems to be inconsistent. In reading letters about 

si 

CD-ROMs, people seem to be having quite a bit of trouble getting them up 

and running. 

tJ 

So, my questions are: Do you have recommendations as to brands that 

are ecompatible 

with my system?; do I have to get drivers, since I have Workbench 

of the AmiCDRom handler software - this is public domain, so is readily 

available. The installation is very straightforward - you just have to make 

sure you pick the right device name for you SCSI interface and that the 

CD is set to the right SCSI ID. This is where people can have problems, but you 

just have to check in the manual what the device name is for that particular 

interface. 

3,0, d from the AmiCDRom handler, or would they be included and be able to work If you are starting from scratch then I would recommend the Squirrel option.

Currently, the only real bind with Amiga CD software is CD32 incompatibility. 

o I think you have got a little too worried about fitting a CD-ROM to 

f 

your Amiga. The process should be, and is, very straightforward. 

/ Y o u have probably got a little confused from other problem letters

The Squirrel comes with CO32 emulation which is pretty good, but can still fail 

to run some CD32 games - however, all other Amiga CDs will work fine. 

Hopefully, game writers producing CD software will move towards writing 

generic Amiga CD titles that simply act like hard drive installed games, but 

working from the CD.

Produced by: Michiel den Outer Navigator is a superb virtual reality design tool which is 

Available from: 17 Bit Software ideal for all manner of applications ranging from games to 

Disk No: 3927 A/B complex design work, where architectural plans can be 

'brought to life' within a computer. It works in real time, 

allowing total interactivity and allowing the user to examine objects from every angle. 

The first of the two disks contains a fast and effective viewing program, some rather brief 

documentation, and numerous examples of what can be achieved. The second disk features 

Navigator Titler, an excellent utility for designing flashy effects for use in videos and 

presentations. There's also NWipe, which allows texture mapping onto 3D objects, and 

can produce some really impressive effects. 

To really get the most out of the programs, 

a fast Amiga is required. On 

my A 1200, running at around five times 

the speed of a standard A500, things 

can be pretty jerky. This is especially 

true if you decide to use Hi-res, interlaced 

screens, or fancy texture mapping. 

Unfortunately, the programs 

use integer maths so owners of 

FPUs won't be at any advantage - a 

nippy processor and lots of FastRAM 

are the only solution. 

Navigator is shareware, but at only 

a tenner a time it's well worth the 

money considering everything it is capable 

of, It has something to offer everyone, 

and can be put to all sorts of uses, from business 

to video work and even game design. Highly 

recommended,

GlIGP-ED V3 

Produced by: Oliver Roberts 

Available from: Aminet 

Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix 

is quite probably the greatest computer 

game ever (although admittedly Sensible 

World Of Soccer comes quite close). The 

problem is that Microprose have not seen fit 

to update it in any way whatsoever since its 

original release in 1991, with the consequence 

that the data contained in the game 

is now rather out of date. 

To address this problem, and to provide 

numerous gameplay improvements, Oliver 

Roberts wrote RCP-Ed, an early version of 

which made its way onto an Amigo 

Computing coverdisk some time ago. It 

enabled the editing of team and driver 

names, car colour schemes and suchlike, 

and allowed less patient drivers to cheat by 

employing the driver aids even on the higher 

skill levels. 

Fl GP-Ed has since developed at a phenomenal 

pace. Version 3 enhances the game 

in numerous ways. Its now possible to edit, 

amongst other things, car set-ups and camera 

views, the lap records, arid the frame 

rate of the display (producing smoother 

graphics on faster machines). There are also 

plenty of fancy additions: there's an optional 

pit-lane speed limit for added realism, plus 

the facility to upgrade computer car performance 

on various circuits, and a handy cheat 

whereby your car's position can be 

snapshotted at any point and then recalled. 

The latter function is extremely useful for

Disk No: 3907 b e i n g accompanied by plenty of fairly fuzzy graphics. 

Don't expect Gilmour and co to perform at CD quality: 

knackered 70's tape-deck quality is closer to the ma& However, some quite impressive data 

compression has obviously gone on to squeeze this whole production onto one floppy disk, 

so the low sample quality is excusable. (It also probably helps avoids copyright problems...) 

The visuals, if a little less than impressive in definition, are at least a little more imaginative 

and impressive than might be expected. They're not stunning by any stretch of the 

imagination, but they're passable. 

Suddenly, however, Another Brick In The Wall finishes and we're catapulted into a rather 

average, highly predictable demo featuring texture-mapped donuts and cheesy tracker musk, 

This bizarre turn of events i a little disappointing but unfortunately riot entirely unexpected; 

perhaps a sad indictment of Amiga demos in 1995: There are few surprises left these days, 

and demo programmers don't seem to be going out of their way to hit us with therm Still, at 

least Tear Down The Wall includes some music that's not straight out of the Euro-cheese

Another compilation of handy little utilities, in 

the mould of the Vark disks, Most are accompanied 

by ReadMe files, and those which aren't 

are, for the most part, relatively easy to get to 

fltiPs with. 

There are plenty of useful inclusions: there's 

Cachefont, which creates a file listing everything 

in your Fonts drawer, allowing programs to scan 

its contents far more quickly; ClickNot, which 

stops the floppy drive from making that irritating 

clicking noise when there's no disk inserted; and 

CPalette, which brings up a palette requester on 

any screen. 

DoubleX forces mode promotion on AGA 

machines, even on programs which normally 

refuse to be affected. Embedder is a superb AGA 

downgrading utility that runs as an Applcon, so 

AGA-unfriendly programs can simply be dropped 

onto its icon and run instantly. Fakernem is for 

Al200 owners, and converts all but 512k of

possible to run certain applications such as 

Caligari, which otherwise would refuse to run.

IdleLED turns the power light into a CPU

rather than simply telling the machine to 

forget about its existence. This means the file 

cannot later be undeleted by some curious 

individual. 

SystemSpeed, unsurprisingly, can tell you 

how swift your machine is, whilst Stonecracker 

is a crunching utility in the Powerpacker mould 

which squishes programs down whilst leaving 

them fully executable. Snoopdos, although 

included in v1.5 as opposed to the vastly superior

Available from: 17 Bit Software tations, probably the most famous of which is 

Disk No: 3920 Bloodhouse's Super Stardust which boasted stunning 

graphics and a difficulty factor which made the legendary 

hard Rick Dangerous games seem like a doddle. 

Poweroids doesn't offer the same drop-dead gorgeous graphics - in fact, the visuals are 

somewhat disappointing. However, there is the added bonus of multi-player blasting action, 

because up to four players can participate simultaneously with a four-player adapter. If you 

don't own one of those little gizmos, it's at least possible to enlist the help of one chum to help 

destroy wave after wave of asteroids. There's also an excellent battle mode where players try to 

blast the living daylights out of one another. 

Unfortunately though, you'll only get the chance to blast a couple of screenfuls of asteroids 

into oblivion with this particular version, because Poweroids is shareware. The full version, with 

scores more levels, costs 20DM. Somewhat strangely, Povveroids requires a 68020 and l meg

AGA screens can now be opened, the full range of colours is now 

available, and a host of enhanced versions of standard Amos commands 

are included. There are plenty of demonstration programs too, 

so getting used to the new (and well documented) commands

El AMER'S DELIGHT 2 

Gamers Delight is another 

compilation CD courtesy of 

Schattruhe, and basically its 

based along the lines of the 

Assassins disk. This, too, is 

also the second in the series 

but there were certain flaws 

in the menu system then_ 

With this CD being designed 

by a foreign company, the translation comes across 

differently. 

For example, instead of platform games being referred to 

as 'platform games', they were referred to as 'jump and MI', 

which in fairness is no real fault of their own, it just looks 

odd. The cursor to select options was a very faint colour, and 

straining your eyes to make Out what you were going to 

A MINET SET 2 

Everybody who's anybody will have 

seen, heard, or even used the 

Arninet series, either on the past i 

CD-ROM series or via modem. All the 'k 

time, people are uploading their software 

for use on Aminet's extremely 

impressive collection. Since its launch 

there have been nine CD-ROMs and 

these all contain the latest software for 

that time. Therefore, if you happened 

to own the entire lot, you would probably 

have the most comprehensive 

library of Amiga software to date. 

G.T.I. are back to distribute the 

famous Aminet Sets, and already they 

are on to their second in the series. The 

entire package is not cheap, at E34.95, 

although for your money you do get four CDs absolutely 

packed with gorgeous goodies that were uploaded in 

November. 

The CDs are split into categories - the first containing the

select was imminent Garners Delight 2 has now made an 

appearance containing 1070 games from different categories. 

There are 70 commercial releases, so don't expect Public 

Domain, and an example from the 'Jump and Run' category 

would be 'Go Kevin Go' - sounds great. There are various 

other games called Gardener, Rollerball, Willi Wacker and 

Bals, I suppose that sums up the CD quite well. 

No CONTEST 

It may not be as polished as the Assassins series, but it's different 

The games may be unheard of, and they may not be 

of outstanding quality, but that's certainly not what you 

expect for E26,95. 

Although the Assassins compilation is the same price, it's 

double the quality. I don't think there's any doubt which one 

you should go for. 

utilities, documents, text and business software; the second 

contains pictures and graphic software, the third contains all 

the fun topics such as games and demos along with more 

utilities for use with your hardware; and the fourth and final 

CD is entirely dedicated to music modules, samples, and 

Comms software. 

There is 850Mb of music modules that any music fan 

would gladly pay E35 for. The Aminet 

series is and always will be 

the greatest compilations 

to date. With its excel- 

lent AmigaGuide 

database allowing / 

you to access / 

everything, depacking 

and reading 

from a click of 

a button, this is the 

definitive compilation. 

Well, until 

Decembers comes out 

anyway.

SSASSINS ULTIMATE GAMES 2 3 " M r Bottom 

The Assassins Ultimate Games is the second 

r the series of CDs, following on from the 

rnmensely popular first instalment It included 

all the Assassins collections packed, and 

ready to unpack, onto floppy disks. The first 

CD contained a wide variety of excellent

o 

The first Network CD arrived 

courtesy of Weird Science 

some time ago, and now their 

latest Networking CD has 

finally appeared - faster and 

far more powerful than ever 

before. 

The main idea is to join 

together the Amiga and a 

CD32 via a cable from the Serial or Parallel port to the 

Auxiliary port on the CD32. This will give your CD32 a new 

lease of fife as a remote CD-ROM drive. As most CD drives 

are operated via SCSI and the PCMCIA slot, the majority 

tend to be quad-speed and almost instantaneous. You may 

be thinking that because the CD32 is only double-speed, 

the file exchange rate won't be particularly good. Well, you 

would be right, although on this Network CD there are 

many programs to get the most from your CD32 as well as 

the fastest speed. 

Setting up is made even easier than before - a simple 

process of entering the CD, booting up the machine, waiting 

for it to be ready, and sending all the relevant information 

down the Serial cable. Then a pseudo-device entitled 

'Network' will appear on your desktop. Inside here you will

comple te with the $ I D pa cka ge 

utilities. What made this compilation superb 

were the presentation and features, an 

excellent menu system, bootable or nonbootable 

as well as compatibility with the 

CD32. 

This collection has game disks 1-120, 60 

utility disks, and 70 workbench games. 

These are all in the usual DMS format and 

will need unpacking to floppy disks. You can 

access everything from the excellently implemented 

AmigaGuide database, and all the 

information you require will undoubtedly 

feature here, including compatibility with 

various machines. 

The games contained on the CD range 

from shootem-ups to pub quizzes, and if 

you're not looking for something specific 

then there is something here for absolutely 

anyone. 

If you're looking for a decent CD with a 

whole host of PD games and utilities, 

Assassins is undoubtedly the best. It features 

art easy-to-use menu system, accompanied 

find a CDO and RAM drawer, and you must remember that 

they are only drawers and not devices. Once this is setup 

you can change the CD in CD32 because it will override the 

auto-reset function, then all you have to do is assign it and 

away you go - it's as simple as that. 

What makes this one of the most delightful packages is 

that if you should move the mouse pointer off-screen it will 

simply appear to have locked up. Adding another monitor 

through the CD32 will reveal your mouse pointer moving 

swiftly around on the other monitor. Also, not only can the 

mouse be transferred to the other machine, but also the 

keyboard, as soon as you move off-screen.

Depending on your machine and setup, you will have a 

variety of baud rates from 57,600 to 115,200, and 

for a standard Al200 you'd be able to get 

away with 76,800. There are programs 

such as SID, for file transfers and 

for viewing various formats, 

as well as many other 

Internet and access tools. 

You can also unpack 

various bootable disks 

to make the connection 

procedure even easier. 

The main improvements 

over the first are that the CD 

boots in around 45 seconds, the 

CD32's programs can be run from 

the Amiga itself, the connection procedure 

is simplified to only a click of a 

button, and you also get many animations, 

games and images bundled on the 

disk to kickstart you CD-Rom usage - these 

can all be viewed or played through SID, so 

everything you could possibly think of has 

been included. 

Anybody with a CD32 and Amiga should 

seriously think about getting connected. If 

you look at all the CD-ROMs on these very 

pages you will see just what you are missing 

Out on. This is none other than an essential 

purchase.

ONCOUNTERS: THE UFO PHENOMENON EXPOSED. 

* 

There are so many questions 

about ufology that 

most people are either 

too scared to ask or too 

sensible. People are 

frightened with the 

unknown, and recently, 

although having being 

around for many years, 

aliens are beginning to steal the limelight and become 

more believable than ghosts. Or are they the same thing? 

One reputed feature of Aliens is that they can take any 

form! Apparently. 

What does an Alien look like? Does the government 

really communicate with them? Was the Roswell incident 

a cover-up? Have places like Hangar 18 stored ufology? 

Who are the Men in Black? Why do they 

drive red Escorts? 

All these questions and more are 

revealed on this brand new CD 

called Encounters: The UFO 

Phenomenon Exposed. On the 

rear cover it says: This CD contains 

information that 

NOBODY wants you to know.' 

And this is perfectly true. 

However, don't take it the 

wrong way, thinking they're 

stolen classified reports. They are 

merely documents people have 

managed to lay their hands on. Are 

they true? Nobody knows_ 

If the government did come Out and make 

a speech to say that UFOs/Aliens 

existed, although there's really nothing 

to worry about, there would be a 

adobcsENE 2 

By now, you probably know about underground 

clubs and places where everyone gets 

together to 'join as one' and just enjoy life. 

No restrictions, no egotistical bigots - everybody 

is free to enjoy what they want to enjoy. 

Euroscene is more or less an underground 

Amiga scene, where various Amiga users get 

together for parties and groupings for demo 

showings, music and pictures, amongst other 

things, and then generally talk about it afterwards 

- on demos. That's why you always get 

a certain type of text on demo scrollers which, 

if you haven't been to a certain venue, you 

won't understand. Generally, these venues 

are held all around the country, although 

mainly in Europe. 

This CD contains various files from these 

particular get-togethers. Images, demos,

world panic_ However, if they manage to keep it as one or 

those 'believe it or nor subjects, the public would have 

no option but to disbelieve it_ 

According to a document in the CD itself, there are 

over 70 recognised species of 'Aliens' or other beings. 

The most popular of species has to be the 'Greys.' These 

are described as being thin and spindly, have large bald 

heads, huge dark eyes, two dots for a nose, and a small 

line for a mouth. And of course they are grey. 

After having read almost every document on the entire 

CD, I now feel as though I'm getting to know quite a bit. 

For instance, did you know that the government are carrying 

out a coverup as we speak? Well, it's called an 

indoctrination, and its a plan to make you disbelieve. 

When a UFO sighting is reported, and it's a major one 

which the government can't explain, they filter it 

through to a popular medium - namely the 

tabloids. They will then blow it out of 

proportion - such as the 'I was 

snatched by Pamela Anderson 

look-a-like aliens!' story - so people 

laugh it off, and subconsciously 

dismiss the whole 

thing. Clever? I think so_ 

This CD covers every budding 

ufologist's dreams as there are 

documents covering abductions, 

origins, cattle mutilations, 

crop circles, landings, sightings, 

crashed UFOs, and government 

conspiracies and cover-ups. 

Basically, the entire CD uses an 

AmigaGuide and all the documents can be

accessed very easily along with a 

series of pictures. Most of the CD is 

text related - 200Mb - which 

music, graphics and all the relative players 

and views are included. The main source of 

all these various formats come from diskmags 

and if you're a keen follower of these, then 

they will undoubtedly inform you of various 

forthcoming 'bashes.' 

CATEGORISATION 

The categories are divided up into a listing 

which is sorted by the name of the group. 

You may recognise some of them if you have 

used Aminet or other compilation CDs. Most 

of the larger files or demos are compressed 

as a DMS format, although there are many 

ready•to-run programs and files. There are 

also various graphic viewers, mod players, 

text resources, programming guides and 

many other useful utilities. As you'd expect, 

means there are a lot of documents. However, each category 

has its own pre-packed [ha file so you can instanni• 

unpack it to your hard drive. 

All the information on the CD is excelent_ It gives all 

sorts of documents that are supposedly 'top secret' and 

some of the accounts of abductions will send a shiver 

down your spine. The whole CD covers everything to do 

with UFOs, especially offering explanations as to why 

World War 2 started! Hitler was an alien! Er, I made that 

up actually. It does sound like some people take it too 

far, but after actually reading the documents, how can 

you possibly not believe it? This is the case when 

500,000 people have reported abductions in Amerka 

and they all roughly follow the same pattern. Spooky! 

If you have a keen interest in ufology or you're looking 

for some convincing evidence, look no further.

the quality of the demo/image/module really 

depends on the respective quality of the 

group. At the moment, the Polka Brothers 

seem to have made a big impact of the 

demo scene, ranking high in the charts of 

many diskmags. 

If you are into the demo side and getting 

to know other Amiga users, then Euroscene 

will manage to satisfy your curiosity into 

these underground happenings. It's certainly 

good value for money at E9,99.

\ 33tems being used to 

media information 

systems at such places as the 

Cleveland police force, 

Colchester Zoo, hotels, 

petrol stations, football 

grounds and a multitude of 

other areas all over the 

world, and at a fraction of 

the cost of alternative PC 

systems. The Amiga has 

more than proved it has the 

capabilities to be used in 

such systems, 

ImageVision is a new product 

from a company based in 

Sweden, and it is their intention to 

produce and develop ImageVision to 

be, at the very least, as functional as Scala 

MM400, if not better, 

The ImageVision package comes in a very 

well presented double CD case. The actual 

disk is on the front side of the CD case with 

the extras CD on the other. You do not actu- 

ally need a CD-ROM drive to use the program 

because the entire ImageVision program and 

basic tutorial are all compressed onto the single 

floppy. The CD is just there to hold a far 

more advanced demo script and a whole 

host of extras. 

Some of the extras include a wide selection 

of excellent backdrops covering liquids, 

stone and some more surreal types, fullscreen 

Mpeg animations, along with a few 

music modules and a lot of high-quality 

sound samples. These are not all installed 

with the ImageVision program but will, of 

course, still be available off the CD. 

Installation is very straightforward using 

the standard installer, even though it does 

take a while. A basic installation will only 

require about SMb worth of hard drive space, 

while if you go for the full installation including 

the full CD demo script, this requires over 

25Mb of hard drive space. Everything gets 

copied into a single directory, apart from the 

extra fonts and a couple of assigns that have 

to be added to your user-startup. 

When you start up ImageVision, the first 

thing that strikes you is just how good looking 

it is. The interface even puts MUI to 

shame, but just because something is goad 

looking does not particularly mean it is worth 

having. This thing is going to have to be quick

Along with these, you can also add drop shadows, back- 

The graphics editor seems to have been designed t with ground colour, text fill colour, or apply a bevelled effect to 

the basic assumption that you will be using a background 

h 

the text, all of which can take their colour from a scrollable 

graphic which will then have your various menu i choices colour selection at the bottom of the requester. 

on top of that This is because most of the tools s available Once text has been entered you are free to move it any- 

i 

are geared towards laying out and presenting blocks of where on the screen you want using the mouse, or enter 

s 

text over a background screen. Having said that, you are 

a 

another section of text which you can then apply with a 

able to load in brushes over your background and scale different set of effects. My of the current available colours 

these to any size you wish and move them to any position. can also be changed by hitting the edit button, and this 

The main tool box available on the editor's screen then pops up one of those newish Amiga colour wheel 

allows you to change the appearance of the on-screen text gadgets, allowing you to choose a new colour.

' 

J 

supremo Amiga multimedia package, 

Neil Mohr discovers whether 

lmageVision can pull off a coup 

J 

to learn, easy to use, and feature packed if it 

is going to beat Scala, 

The main interface consists of three basic 

windows - the script, tools, and icon windows. 

Using all three you can easily and 

quickly construct complex multimedia presentations. 

For each script you are working 

on there is a single 

. 

script window A start 

icon will always be the first icon you have 

and from this start point you drag in new 

icons, each icon relating to the action you 

want to take place at that point in the script. 

CONSTRUCTION 

The actual Script construction is done in a 

tree-style format, with Jparent icons in the 

tree having 'child' icons connected from 

them. As this is meant to represent the linear 

sequence that the presentation will take, 

only menu icons are allowed to have more 

than one 'child' connection. 

With a menu icon, each of its child icons 

would represent a possible selection in that 

menu. All the others have to be connected in 

the sequence they should appear in. To 

nWith aims to topple Scala 

Mnit 00's reign as the 

ca ption re quinwd 

connect one icon to another, even/ icon has 

a small white tail coming out of the top of it, 

and you just grab this and drag it to the icon 

you want to connect it to. The two icons will 

then be linked in the tree. 

Once icons have been dragged from the 

icon's window into the script window they 

can be moved around, selected, cut, pasted, 

and if you double-click on them you can configure 

the various aspects of that type of icon. 

To help distinguish between similar icon 

types in the script window, each icon can be 

given a name that is shown in the screen 

title bar when you place the mouse over it 

This way of constructing the script is excellent. 

It is possible to see the form that the 

presentation will take straight away, and it is 

very easy to change the flow of a presentation. 

I was a little concerned at first that a 

large script would become unwieldy because 

the tree could become quite large, but to 

prevent this ImageVision has a couple of 

tools to help you organise the script into 

sections. 

The first are the group and ungroup holttions 

which help you package a selected area 

of icons into a single group icon on the script

Also avaikkie horn a menu kon's requester, the dick editor is where you add the actual active 

areas to buttons or hot spots on each menu screen. When you first run the dkk editor for any 

ore menu, you are presented with whatever graphic design you have drawn up for that menu, 

along with a list view requester with all the possible menu selections for that screen. 

The possible selections are to go back to the previous menu from the current one and normaly 

this is made passible by pressing the right mouse button anywhere on the screen, and 

the others will be all the child nodes from that icon. These are all listed in the 'Action' list view 

requester. 

To make an area of the screen 'selectable' you have to first mark out the area that you want 

the user to have to click on for any one menu selection, This is done by using one of four tools 

provided by Image Vision. Currently, buttons can take four shapes - either rectangular, circular, 

elipse, or a complex polygon shape. The polygon shape allows you to define any outline shape 

using any number of straight lines, so with only a little patience it is possible to build up some 

tpite complex button shapes.

of your scripts. When a section of the script 

has been tested, select all the icons, hit the 

group option, and you will be left with a single

the normal way so you know what it is at a

The other took are the jump, subroutine 

and return icons which allow you to create a 

new section of the script away from the rest. 

By adding a jump icon where the new section 

should go and then adding a subroutine 

icon, you are able to create part of the script 

away from the rest of it. The return icon then 

forces the script to return back to the parent 

icon of the original Jump command. 

This all adds up to a highly intuitive, easyto-use

even the authors admit ImageVision is not 

currently on a par with Scala, but it is their 

firm intentions to make it so. 

The program has been written in a rnodula 

form so new icons can be added at any 

time, therefore making the program easy to 

extend. ImageVision also has the advantage 

of being a good deal cheaper than MM400.

Compared to Scala there is only a paltry number of wipes and fades

there could be future additions here. The wipes currently available are 

fade to black/white and background, slide up/down, bounce up/down, 

cover up/over, and card up/down. Wipes can be applied between sections 

in the script so menus can be gracefully disposed of and in the

Postscript o interpreter on board, you 

could m almost mistake it for a colour 

proofing e machine. The BJC610 has the 

small a footprint innately typical of previous 

Canon bubblejet printers and is 

beautifully styled. The construction of this 

beautifully styled printer isn't half bad 

either. When I had my B.110 it was a lot 

more rickety and plasticky than this one is, 

although Canon still haven't been able to 

get rid of the customary grinding noises as 

the print head gets cleaned.

Because the 6JC610 is such a high resolution machine it is 

difficult to make sure that the print head is optimally 

aligned when it comes out of the box. To remedy this. 

Canon hove a hondy little self-test function that prints out 

bars onto a sheet of paper along with instructions on what 

to do. Simply choose the bar that looks the most solid and 

make the lights light up in the right combination and voila, 

you've just set your print head correctly. It is features like 

this that make awning and running a modern printer light 

years ahead of all those old lo-fi models we used to use.

you can print on standard copier bond with

with a variety of specialist papers and films

glossy papers and back print film. If you are 

going to use it for high-quality DTP do be 

aware that running costs, particularly if you 

are using the coated paper, are going to be 

quite high, but no more so for the BIC610

Aid dose the

HAT'S NEW PUSSY CAT? 

Tiot indeed. Well, you know that the 8JC610 has a maximum 

print resolution of 720dpi, but unfortunately, the only 

Way to take advantage of this super printing without 

ipending any extra money, at the time of writing, is to 

own a PC equipped with Windows. Canon have produced 

art extremely high speed driver for Windows that will 

output 720dpi prints (after a while - high resolution 

pigging takes time), but there is no equivalent for the 

Amigo 

More sadly, there are no plans to ship this printer with a 

driver of any sort for the Amigo owner, although it can be 

used with the current BJC610 drivers that are available. 

eth 

Canon can also supply you 

with a variety of specialist 

papers and films to meet 

your needs such as 

transparencies, glossy 

papers and back print film 

and yellow cartridge. These can all be individually 

replaced so if you're printing off all 

those yellow pictures that you never did 

when you had a colour dot-matrix printer, 

you won't be forced to go out and buy all 

four inks in one go. 

MASTERPIECE 

If you go for a 24-bit 720dpi masterpiece 

of printing, don't expect to walk away with 

it immediately, unless it's about 5mm 

across that is. The 8IC610 is not as fast as 

the equivalent Hewlett Packard, as Canon 

themselves readily admit. But, as they say, 

would you rather wait a minute less for a 

print, or have the highest possible quality? 

Gars, 

However, because these were written for the 8IC600 

rather than the BJC610, they only work at up to 350dpi so 

you will only be using half the printer's capobilities_ 

Since Wolf Faust has always had such a good relationship 

with Canon there is a possibility that the Windows 

software might be reproduced on the Amigo which would 

definitely be an improvement as everything is automated 

through it As it is, your only option if you want to get the 

best results out of this printer (or indeed any printer) is to 

buy Studio. The very latest version (23 0) supports the 

8lC610 fully and outputs fantastic results thanks to the 

unique colour matching system it employs. 

No arguments there then. Even so, most of 

the prints I did, which varied in size 

between a quarter of a page and half a 

page, took no longer than fifteen minutes. 

The way the paper feeds into the printer is 

quite handy too. The fact

FEBRUARY 1996 

. N a b. throw your pencils a wa y, 

you've ga l a printe r now! 

that you have at least a smidgen of a view 

of the line the printer is currently painting 

down onto the paper means that if there is 

anything drastically wrong - printing in 

greyscale rather than colour, for instance - 

you can stop the print immediately rather 

than have to wait until the paper has 

emerged from the body of the machine. 

UT OF INK 

Right that's it, I'm out of ink on the topic of 

the Canon BJC610, but it remains for me to 

say that thought I was getting the best end 

of the stick with my mono Postscript laser 

printer. However, the results achievable with 

this are nothing short of superb. Make sure 

you include the cost of buying Studio II in 

your budget when buying this printer 

because you won't get even NM as good 

results without it, and use Canon's glossy 

paper for your bestest prints. Right, I'm off to 

persuade Canon to let me keep this one and 

see if! can't persuade them to give me some 

more Mk_ 1 - 1 0 !

Currently, there seems to be a 

net one every month, which is 

Li testament to how lively the 

Amiga PO scene has been and 

s stil very much so. 

In amongst all the stuff you 

find on Arninet, there is a type 

of program distributed under 

the title of shareware. This is 

the concept where the author 

ibis you to test their program, 

which they could have spent 

years developing, to decide if you 

wars to keep it If you do keep the 

program you are obliged to send the 

author a set fee which can be as little as 

Re pounds. 

Paying your shareware lee gives the author 

an incentive to keep on developing their program, 

and gives you direct support horn the author 

for that program. This is along with the fact that the author 

of a program you have registered for is much more likely 

ilD listen to any additions you want to that program. 

It you use a shareware program you really should go 

Our and pay the fee. Not only will you have that nice 

warm glowing feeling that you have done something 

righteous and good for once in your life, you will also 

OMAGESTUDIO 

ImageStudio should be fairly well known to 

everyone. Programmed by a couple of local 

Macclesfield lads, this is a very well supported 

and put together image processing program. 

The main improvement for the latest version is 

the addition of full colour windowed previews 

that let you get a better impression of what 

the final picture will be like. 

The package comes on two disks and is 

instaled using - everyone together now - the 

standard Amiga installer. For people that have 

never used ImageStudio before, there are a 

good few tutorials to guide you through the 

different aspects of it. These are in with the 

AmigaGuide manual which also doubles as 

the on-line help. 

You now have the option of the preview 

window working in either grey scale or colour 

modes, You will be glad to know that the 

colour previews seem to be redrawn as fast as 

the grey scale ones, but you will need a Hi-res 

screen mode with at least 64 colours to get 

the best out of it 

ImageStudio has the normal array of colour 

control effects like balance, gamma and con. 

trast, along with the standard image manipulation 

tools, such as flip, scale, cut, grey scale, 

negative and pixellated. The more interesting 

pans of ImageStudio come in the form of its 

convolute effects and the comprehensive 

ARexx port. 

Convolute is a normal image processing 

function, and through it you can produce hundreds 

of different effects. With ImageStudio 

you get a number of standard convolutes 

which you can select from the handy convolute 

list view. It is also possible to add your 

give the author another reason to keep on developing 

their program. You also get support from them which 

normally includes them sending you the next few updates, 

and they are usually very helpful when it comes to 

problem solving. So all you people who have unregistered 

own to the list and save them for future use. 

Some of you might be quite surprised when 

you look at the system requirements at the small 

amount of memory needed, because normally 

image processing programs need as much 

memory as possible. ImageStudio gets round 

this by implementing internal virtual memory 

which allows the image data to be stored on 

your hard drive, therefore taking up no memory. 

The down side is that all the disk access slows 

down the preview redraws. If you do have 

enough of RAM then you can tell ImageStudio to 

use the RAM Disk as the virtual memory storage 

space to gain a large speed increase. 

With a good modular program design allowing 

you to add your own convolutes and ARexx 

scripts at a later date, and regular updates being 

he best things in life 

are free, well almost.

A MIBROKER 

A rather unusual program, ArniBroker is a comprehensive 

share manager, allowing you to 

study and predict trends in the market and to 

maintain a portfolio of shares. Installing is via 

the Amiga installer and this copies all the necessary 

files in to a single directory and installs a 

couple of fonts. 

The main interface is wonderfully programmed. 

MI the necessary tools are at hand 

in icon form, and the list of Shares are displayed 

in a scrollable list view. The remainder 

of the screen is taken up with a display of the 

recent form of the selected share along with 

any of the statistical analysis functions you can 

choose. One excellent feature is that when you 

select or deselect an analysis function, the 

remaining windows automatically resize to fit 

them all onto the screen. 

There are eight technical indicators of which 

I know nothing about, but there are good 

explanations of them in the AmigaGuide manual, 

allowing you to try and predict how your 

various shares will perform. This runs alongside 

a risk/yield map that allows you to quickly see 

which shares give the best return at what risk 

One problem with shares is that if you have 

a good number of them in your portfolio, or 

just want to track a lot of them, there is a lot of 

data involved_ Currently, ArniBroker only supports 

importing Teletext data from the Polish 

stock exchange. The programmer, however, is 

willing to modify the program for other countries, 

and is working on an ASCII import to 

make importing share data much easier. 

As with AmiAllas, this is better than many 

commercial products, and at $15 is a give 

away_ With an excellent complete English 

translated manual and a set of comprehensive 

features for tracking the stock exchange, 

AmiBroker is a brilliant program. It is a shame 

that it may not get the wide use on the Amiga 

that it deserves.

GXECUTIVE 

For anyone that is not aware, the 

Amiga has a 32-bit multitasking operating 

system, and has had since it 

first came out ten years ago_ You may 

have noticed recently that this was 

the cornerstone to IBM's OS Warp 

adverts, which seemed to proclaim 

this as some sort of amazing feat of 

programming genius. Sorry boys - 

beat you to it. 

Executive compliments the existing 

way ArnigaDOS assigns processor 

time to each program running on 

your Amiga. Normally, the operating 

system will share processor time 

between the highest priority programs 

that are asking for processing 

time 

What Executive does is to watch 

how much processing time every 

program is using and shares it evenly. 

Therefore, every program that needs 

processor time can get some, so no 

single program can hog all of the 

processor. If you read the documen-

The Amiga really has got more than its fair share 

of image processing software, so any new program 

is going to have to be something special to 

get any sort of attention. Image Processing 

Revelations is a fairly straightforward program to 

get up and running - a single half Mb executable 

with two extra directories. Containing ARexx and 

preference settings. 

IPR runs using two separate custom screens. 

Brilliance style. The front one contains the control 

panel with the other screen showing you a fon 

screen preview of any loaded picture. 

The main control panel is nicely arranged, with 

the various accept, undo and cancel buttons always being available and in the same place, no mater 

what function you are using. All the information on the current picture is always available in the 

top section, while the middle is used to display all the options for whichever function you have 

selected. This gives a good coherent interface 

which is quickly learnt and very easy to use. 

Another nice touch is if the current image is too 

large for the screen, you can either hit the space 

key to toggle the control panel on or off, or there 

is a small gadget in the top right that allows you 

to easily scroll the preview screen around_ 

Where IPR comes out on top over most other 

packages is the extremely good palette control 

functions it provides. Fairly normal functions allow 

you to adjust the brightness, contrast and gamma 

available, but the immediate option allows you to 

adjust the palette in real time, so cutting out any 

wait for a picture redraw. Only the grey scale and 

broadcast colour functions do not allow this. 

Other functions provided by IPR are mainly 

restricted to warping or flipping the picture in 

some way. Nothing too Earth shattering here - 

simple flips, rotates quite nice fish-eye and sine 

wave effects that do not leave you hanging 

around either. 

Overall, IPR is a very well presented program, 

quick to learn and easy to use. Unfortunately, 

other than the colour control of IPR there really is 

nothing here that makes IPR standout. There is, 

however, a lot of promise and perhaps a new 

version would change the situation. 

tation that comes with the distribution 

archive - which also doubles as 

the excellent on-line help - the 

author goes into great depth about 

explaining the use of different 

processor time sharing schemes. 

Some are suited to low processor 

loads while others handle high load 

systems better, and to help tailor 

Executive to your system there are six 

different schemes for you to choose, 

so everyone should be able to find 

one to suit. 

To your average user just using 

Wordworth, this is not going to be 

amazingly useful, but for the power 

user and people that have a few CPU 

sucking programs running alongside 

each other, Executive can be of real 

value. It sits in the background 

diligently polling each task, and 

you will never know its there - 

apart from the fact that your 

programs will be running much 

smoother together.

SHAREWARE GAMES 

• I cannot nelieve lust how addictive this game 

is, it should have a government health warning 

on the side_ I must have lost days playing 

this game with my friends. To be fair, I was a 

huge fan of the original Dynna Blaster which 

also allowed up to five players and had the 

same sickeningly addictive game play. For 

ELUXE GALAGA 

Another fiendishly addictive game, Deluxe 

Galaga is apparently based on an old Vic20 

game called Stareattle — can a Vic20 game be 

anything but old? As with Master Blaster, the 

programmer's main aim is for the game to 

play well, and Deluxe Galaga certainly 

does that. Reminiscent of many old 

space invader type shoot-'em-ups, you 

have to battle your way through wave upon

FEBRUARY 1996 

ASTER BLASTER 

people who do not know, Master Blaster is a 

maze type of game. You start off in a grid 

maze, trapped by explodable blocks_ By dropping 

bombs you create more room to move 

around in and when you get the chance you 

can blow your fellow competitors to kingdom 

come. Along the way you can get power ups 

to gain more bombs, bigger flames and other 

handy abilities. 

This new shareware version adds many features 

to the original game. Along with the 

original gameplay and the ability to have five 

players on at once, the new version allows 

you to adjust almost every part of the game. 

You can select your favourite character graphics, 

how many wins are needed, and how 

much money to start with. 

Master Blaster allows you to collect money 

so you can buy power ups before you start the 

next round, and there is the chance to win free 

money in the nerve shattering Wheel-O-Fortune. 

With extra power ups, team play, three different 

levels, selectable power ups, and even 

better coding than the last version, you can 

now quit to Workbench. With addiction 

beyond belief Master Blaster is a must buy_ 

wave of menacing alien meanies- 

Each wave swoops down in various initial 

attack patterns to form at the top of the 

screen, where they deploy in sorties, 

Gataxians style. Once you have killed them 

all, you're onto the next level. To add another 

layer to the game there are power ups to 

pick up which have been dropped by the 

aliens when you killed them, along with

the end-of-level shops. In later levels, good 

money sense is almost as important as good 

game play because you have to save up for 

larger weapons. 

With large end-of-level beasties, simultaneous 

two-player action, a trying meteor

form of a memory game, there is plenty to 

keep you occupied.

n the beginning the 

earth cooled, the seas 

formed, and fife came 

to the planet. That life 

evolved from single cell animals all 

the way up the food chain to the 

dinosaurs which eventually became extinct 

for reasons still uncertain. Man reached his 

ascendancy and inverted the home computer, 

for which more men designed the software 

Imagine 3. Finally, there came Dinoverse from 

a small company called Kryonix and now we 

On the story. 

Dinoverse is the name of a very cheap set of 

objects designed for use with Imagine 3 or 

higher based around a variety of dinosaurs. 

Thee are four dinosaurs in the package rang. 

ing from the highly-detailed Velociraptor design 

to the Triceratops. In addition to these four 

familiar beasties, there is also a selection of 

prehistoric plants and insects, although, given 

the differences in scale, you might never end 

up using them in the same scene together. 

TEXTURE MAPS 

The objects themselves are not modelled in 

superfine detail, but certainly detail enough for 

whole body foreground shots, except for the 

selociraptor which fills a disk all by itself, The 

texture maps that the author has created for 

the models are nice, with larger-than-screen 

sized bitmaps for good surface detail, but there 

are no separate greyscale bumpmaps for that 

authentic pebbly skin look 

This is wholly due to Imagine's deficit when 

it comes to bump mapping an object with a 

texture. The reason for this is that Imagine 3 

uses the Y-axis to determine the apparent 

extent of the peaks and troughs of a picture 

used as a bumpmap, which means that positioning 

and sizing a texture in three dimensions 

becomes an impossibility, To add insult to 

injury, Imagine's fairly groovy states function 

don't work properly with bumpmaps, so 

though you can set a state you can't 

lock it down. This means that instead 

of the bumpmap moving with your 

object it stays in the same place, so 

that your object moves through 

the texture. This problem is supposed 

to be resolved in Imagine 

4, but as Kryonix supply the 

object- without bumpmaps, it's all 

much of a muchness. In addition

to the dinosaur 

models, you will 

also find several landscapes that 

have been saved out of Vista Pro in 

two versions as low and very low resolution 

(compared to the originals) Imagine 

objects which would make a useful background 

on which to place your saurian actors. 

To finish off the scene, Kryonix have provided 

an animated sky map with 120 frames of 

animation to overlay onto a cloud object as a 

transparency map. The sky animation is 

extremely subtle, so don't expect to see major 

changes in the sky if you use it. Also, it doesn't 

loop, which is a shame, so there's no use making 

your animations exactly 120 frames to take 

advantage of a loop. 

The 10 disk set comes with a printed manual 

explaining how to install the disks (simply 

copy them all into a drawer and assign it 

accordingly) and more importantly, how to 

actually use the objects in Imagine. The tutorial 

provided is written in a sparky, clear manner 

and makes it easy for even the bare bones (if 

you'll forgive the pun) beginner to get to grips 

with the awkwardness that is the States function. 

One thing that must 

be pointed Out is

ne of the most common problems 

most new Amigas have is 

with the AmigaDOS command 

Instal_ Install allows you write a 

bootblack onto a formatted disk so that it 

will auto load when the disk is inserted. Your 

Workbench disk has a bootblack 

However, if you only have a single drive, 

using Install can be a nightmare. The problem 

anses when you want to install a disk in 

DK/ (the internal drive) but your Amiga 

reps asking for your Workbench disk which 

it then duly tries to install. The Install command 

is located in the C directory on your 

Workbench disk which means that the 

Workbench disk must be in NO at the time 

the Install command is executed, 

Fortunately, there is a neat way round this 

problem by using the Resident command. 

Resident simply pre-loads selected files into 

memory so that they no longer need to be 

loaded from the Workbench disk. 

Open the Shell and type in the following: 

Ed S:Stirtio-hquttue 

Atlas q 

Save the Shell-Startup by pressing Esc, x 

then Return and finally close the Shell 

w. Now open it up again and type in q 

ed by Return. The Shell should close 

n. The alias has told the Shell to 

understand q to mean endcli.

If you look in the System drawer on your Workbench you'll notice an

ISGUISE 

When you first get your Workbench the first 

thing you want to do is load it up and try out 

everything. But being too adventurerous can 

have its pitfalls. I, and many other Amiga owners, 

have fallen foul of the scrolling Workbench. 

In ScreenMcKle you can alter the size of the 

Workbench display and scroll to any areas not 

visible in the monitor dimensions with the 

mouse. Having a Workbench the size of 

Wembley Stadium sounds exciting but eats up 

precious memory. Whatever you do, don't save 

the ScreenMode preferences or you may find 

that when you reboot later on, Workbench 

won't load because of insufficient memory. 

This is not the place for complicated solutions 

so avoid it at all costs. 

down (cursor) keys Shell will allow you to recall your previously 

entered commands so that you can simply edit the 

mistakes you made previously.

If you run out of room on your Workbench desktop 

there is a way you can make the screen larger. This 

really only applies to those of you using a proper corn 

puter monitor and riot the TV 

Go to the Prefs drawer and run the Overscan program. 

Select Edit Text Size and drag the four perimeter 

boxes to their outermost limits. Click on use and then 

do the same for Edit Graphics Size. Now click on the 

Save button and you will find yourself with a larger 

Workbench than before. You may need to alter the 

screen settings on your monitor in order to re-position 

Workbench.

If you take a look in the DOSDrivers drawer 

in Storage you'll notice a program 

called RAD. RAD is very similar to the RAM 

disk and is faster than floppy disk drives 

arid hard drives. 

RAD is actually a recoverable RAM disk

supply. Obviously, if you're running from 

floppy disk RAD can prove an invaluable 

i 

ally. 

You can copy files to and from RAD 

k 

by simply selecting the directory RAD: 

or by double-clicking on the disk icon 

on the Workbench desktop. As an 

example: 

Copy tAO:tef Hite to dill: 

If you want RAD to automatically b 

run every time you boot your Amiga yo 

can simply drag its icon to the DOSDrivers 

drawer in the Devs directory. It's as simple 

as thati atm 

CONS 

When you start to personalise your 

Workbench and start designing your own 

icons (everyone does it), you'll realise that 

the RAM disk can't have a disk icon attached 

to it. This is because when you reboot 

your Amiga everything in RAM is erased — 

including any icons. 

Once again, there is a solution. First create 

yourself an icon in IconEdit and make sure it 

is a disk type. Now save it as RAMIcon to 

your S directory. Load your User-Startup file 

into ED as explained above, type in the 

following and then save it 

copy WI: SAAN1con to 1 

,1 

10:111sk,info 

This copies your RAMIcon icon in the 5 

directory to RAM as diskinfo (the name of 

disk type icons) when Workbench loads. 

Provided you have done everything right you 

should see your icon on the Workbench 

screen with Ram Disk underneath.

ETTING THE SCENE 

When you first load your Workbench disk it looks rather bland. This is because it is preset to 

display itself in only four colours. You can change this by altering the amount of colours in the 

ScreenMode program located in the Preis drawer. However, you should be warned that 

using more colours takes more of your Amiga's memory and slows down Workbench quite 

considerably. 

If you have Fast memory, using more colours won't be a problem and you can customisei 

your Amiga to your heart's content. Just look at how exciting Workbench can 

really be.

HE RIGHT FUNCTION 

Above the numencai cnaraders on your keyboard 

is a line of keys preceded by F and 

numbered from 1 to 10. These keys are 

normally used by games software 

but Workbench also allows you to use 

them through the IKey program in 

the Commodities drawer in the Tools 

directory. 

When you run this program, a window 

appears in which you can attach certain 

events to any of the F (Function) keys. To 

create a new key simply press the New Key 

1 

13- 

button and type in F preceded by the key 

number. By clicking on the Command button 

you can cycle through a list of options 

regarding Workbench operations. It is even 

possible to get a program to run from an F 

key by typing in the program name and 

location in the Command Parameters box. 

To make your F key changes permanent, 

select Save Defined Keys from the menu. 

You could even drag the FKey program to 

your WBStartup drawer so that it nuns every 

time you boot your Amiga.

But don't despair! There are 

enough Doom clones coming 

out over the next few months to 

keep us going for ages. There

We can always rely on OTM for a bit of exclusive 

rnews. 

Yes, they're back with the latest Informo- 

ation 

on some new releases they've managed to 

ilatch 

Themselves onto. 

d First up is a game entitled Wotchtower which 

tIs 

basically a top-down 'Commando'-style 

oarcade 

war game There'll be a simultaneous 

two-player mode, several weapons. three different 

types of terrain including desert. jungle 

and city, six long and challenging missions, 

adjustable skill levels, and end-of-level 

guardians. Instead of it sounding like a first in 

gaming entertainment, it looks like the old 

arcade 'Commando' re-visited, jazzed up and 

ready to roll. 

The game's being developed by CyberArts. 

a name that sounds familiar, but I can't think 

why. They ore from Finland and apparently 

ore set to thrill and excite games players 

everywhere. 

Guildhall Leisure have finally got around to releasing 

their data disk for Gloom. It's called Gloom 

Deluxe and features new levels, beasts and all 

sorts of things. 

The whole interface has now been re-written. 

For example, you can now play via a modem, 

choose a screen resolution as well as a screenmode, 

and even play in a Workbench window. 

You can now use the virtual i glosses as well as various 

graphic cards. It is ECS and AGA compatible 

and you can basically customise it completely to 

suit your own needs. Finally, you can finally play it 

in super Hiees. 

The whole thing looks like a vast improveme 

over the lost and hopefully we'll give it a full 

low-down in the next month or two in our Doom 

special. Hurrah! 

No sooner had Alien Breed 3D hit the shelves than 

Alien Breed 3D special edition Is already on its way, 

The programmer has managed to re-write the 

original 3D engine and managed to get the graphics 

up to the level of Breathless and the brand new 

Nemoc IV. Like Breathless, Alien Breed 3D will include 

minor additions such as being able to look up 

and down as well as major additions such as a level 

editor. 

There will be supports for graphic cards such as 

Picasso II. and you will be able to alter the pixel ratio 

from 2:2, 2:1 to 1:1. This is essential because some 

a small screen, or dismiss the graphics for a full sized 

screen. It's all down to a matter of taste and opinion. 

You will be able to load all the original levels from Alien Breed 3D into the editor 

and twist and change them as much as you like - or even design completely new 

ones. Not only that, you will be able to draw your own aliens, add mission text, and 

even make new sound effects.

appears to be slightly 

more special then the 

rest. For instance the

Gloom competition results 

durrah! We are pleased to announce that after 

lifting through the many mail bags of entries we 

lave found a winner to our Gloom competition. 

Admittedly. it did take us around 2 or 3 minutes to 

octually find one. And as we promised. we have 

printed the winning entry. 

We received some excellent entries Including 

one from James Stansfield from Jersey who sent 

us a disk! Wow, it was a very scary disk - it was a 

grey. Clever that. When our Technical Editor suggested 

we see what was actually on the disk, 

there was another monster! Blimey he's spent 

some time thinking up that. 

Another good entry was Yorkshire lad, Liam 

Walker's Angel of Death. He drew it from all 

different angles and for a 3-year old it was a 

cracking effort! 

Michael Garcia's Aguantos was also very 

good. And there were three of the funniest entries 

ever. Firstly David Torres from Watford and Javier 

OsOno from New York kindly set us in their entry 

form without an entry. Good try lads, but the 

sheer audacity of it will win you absolutely nothhg

Take a note of the weapon you carry. 

It's slightly better than the weedy 

pistol you always get in Doom 

a recent upload from Aminet. Inc graphics ran at a horrific 

rate and the sound effects were the best yet on any other 

Doom clone. The explosions were pretty graphic and It plays 

far better because you have to collect codes from various 

computers dotted around the maze to unlock the doors. 

Also on Nemac IV you con select the screen size from 

absolutely anything as well as the resolution.

and James Stansfield for their efforts with a copy

Finally, the winner is... Asa Margetts and his

that you are placed in control of a team of Worms

Worms doesn't have on intriguing plot. 

It doesn't have high-tech graphics, and 

neither does it have sophisticated

the most appealing and addictive 

games of all time, and why is it appearing 

on so many platforms? What is Its

hard to fathom out - I mean the gameplay 

relies on the age old Scorched

most advanced, but somehow it works, 

and works very well Indeed.

The comedy breasts could

ou play Joe. a dashing young adventurer 

and first off you find yourself locked in a 

dressing room by arch enemy Anderson 

who firmly intends to use the Amazon Queen to 

transport the glamorous Faye to her Brazilian film 

location. Pick up everything you can find obviously 

lying around then use the curtain cord and pick up 

the wig which is lying behind it in the recess Pick up 

two lots of sheets from the floor and you'll see a 

laundry chute. Join the two sheets together to 

make a rope and then fix the rope to the radiator. 

Use the rope, climb down the chute and drop 

into the basement. There's a door over on the right 

but it's locked. You can only pick up a few items off 

the cupboard so you'll need to move the ladder to 

be able to pick up some amusing comedy 

breasts and a crowbar from the box 

of crowbars. 

Head up the stairs to the left but if you 

try and get Joe past the heavies by the 

door they'll throw him bock in the locked 

room upstairs, so only go as far as the 

reception and talk to the bellboy about 

the key. If you say that you're a friend of Lola the 

bellboy will let him have the key so take it and head 

downstairs. Use the key on the locked door and 

move inside. 

When you talk to Lola it becomes apparent she's 

dearly an old name of Joe's but now she's seeing 

your arch enemy Anderson. Ask Lola for help and 

after she's moaned about you for a bit she gets in 

the shower and demands that you bring her a 

towel before she'll get out. To accomplish this you 

need to climb back up the sheet rope into the 

locked room and use the crowbar on the chest to 

find a lovely, fluffy towel. Take it back down to Lola 

and she'll get out of the shower before, somewhat 

bizarrely giving Joe a sequined dress. Use the dress 

in the basement and, combined with the comedy 

brectsts and the wig you can just about pass Joe off 

as a woman. 

Walk over to the stairs and you should be able to 

get through the foyer. Even though they're a bit

sets e off to find a telephone. Head north Into the 

screen, r From now on east Is to the right of the 

screen, south for the front and west for the lefthand 

side. Joe bumps into Wedgewood the parrot 

who prattles on about how Princess Azura has 

been captured and how Trader Bob Is now her only 

hope. As Wedgewood flies off, cut the vine with 

Pie knife and carry on down the trail. 

Soon Joe's path becomes blocked by a huge 

gorilla, so head back past the plane and see 

what's to the south The broken bridge can be 

repaired using the vine, allowing you to cross to the 

other side an get to the banana. Unfortunately the 

Gorilla is not interested In the banana so you're 

forced to engage it in conversation. Talking to it will 

uncover that gorillas live in Africa not South 

America at all and then, confused by your argument, 

It will have a terrible moment of self doubt 

and explode, clearing the path and making a bit of 

a mess at the same time. Go up to the pinnacle 

from where you can see every location that you'll 

be visiting throughout the rest of the game. 

However, your main priority is to find civilisation and 

work out what on earth the parrot was blathering 

on about. You should now head downhill to 

Trader Bob's. 

In the meantime, Faye has a bit of a tantrum 

about being left at the crash site and throws a bottle 

of her perfume at Sparky and stomps off into the 

trees. 

Wander through the pygmy village and into the 

shambles that is Trader Bob's. Bob knows a lot 

about what's happening in the jungle, including 

some rumours about the factory where everyone 

seems to think Princess Azura is being held. Most of 

what's on display in Bob's isn't for sale although the 

records, the nets, the alcohol and the vacuum 

cleaner are. Trade the beef jerky with Bob in return 

for some money and then buy the battery 

powered vacuum cleaner with it. 

Talk to Wedgewood the parrot and then to 

Naomi. She learned English from the missionaries 

and is worried about her date that night with Bob 

and would willingly swap her hairdressing scissors for 

some perfume. Leave the 

village and on the way it 

will be worth your while 

talking to the Witch 

Doctor. You won't understand 

what it has to say

then head over the fallen tree and past the three

have a training facility. The idea Is to control your 

'A' team against your 'B' team. Your first team 

contains all the players that would feature in real 

life, and the second team contains mock-up players 

to act as reserves, loan, and trial players. These 

can be brought into the side at any time during 

the season and if they are any good, their value 

will begin to increase, so those million pound 

youngsters like Robbie Fowler can now successfully 

be achieved. You play these games 

on a pitch reminiscent of the first 

Sensible Soccer - hardly any sound 

and no stadium. 

There are actual in-game differences 

to this new version. but only 

small Ones. Your players' names 

now appear in the top left-hand 

corner of the screen, you can 

now head the ball without ridiculously 

diving about the place, 

the crowd now jump up and 

down like proper fans should. 

when the players score they will 

show their jubilation with their 

arms, it's now a lot easier to 

run around players, especially 

if you're controlling someone 

like Alan Shearer: and to top it 

all off. with a quick press of 

the joystick you can now 

inform a player if he should 

come and collect the boll, 

or wait on the spot so if you 

want to pass the ball out to 

the wing, it will go to the 

wing 

The differences ore 

merely cosmetic and 

affect the gameplay minimally, 

although if you 

were to return to your 

original game you'd miss 

these slight changes an 

awful lot, 

Final word 

If you're a real fan of Sensible Soccer. then this 

Is an absolutely essential purchase. Please 

keep me out of the 'it's not worth it' debate, 

because there will always be someone who 

believes all these features should hove been in 

the original - which is probably true 

If you're a 

real fan of 

Sensible Soccer, 

a then this is an 

absolutely 

essential 

purchase

caught glimpse of from Aminet, and 

then it was a 3D engine demo - showing

absolutely mouth-watering - the 

smooth graphics were smoother than a peach, 

no. even a baby's bottom, and that's saying 

something. 

In fanfare-like fashion a demo of the game 

arrived. I have to admit that after the previous 

Doom-clones, my mind wasn't really on the job as 

I was rapidly losing consciousness with sheer boredom,

So this looks like my last review of a Do 

game either because I haven't noticed anyma 

in the pipeline or I shall be handing in my noti 

as a doom game reviewer after this. I must aam 

it's been nice. I'll miss all you Doom fans, but It 

time to go. But not before I've finished with 0, 

absolute cracker. Here we go. 

Breathless, developed by Fields of Vision. 

about the seventh or eighth Doom clone t 

appear on the Amiga. There are four worlds, a 

each one has five sub-levels _ Each world will hay 

Its own password so you are able to continu 

where you left off, Also, there are twelve differe 

enemies which proves that Breathless is quite 

aried. 

As with the usual collection there are plenty 

As with every 

other Doom-like 

game, pressing 

space opens 

doors and 

secret passages

The backroom boys 

The programmer for Breathless is called Alberto 

Longo and has programmed on the Amigo for 

a long time. His post projects include I-Racer 

which he mode for the Amiga a while ago. 

Pieroaolo Di Maio is the team manager. He 

works as a musician and worked out the map 

and sound effects for Breathless. Finally, 

Gianluca Abbate is 15-years old, yep, 15-years 

old and designed the 2D graphics and textures. 

Sounds like a bit of a genius to mei 

collectables, and by that I don't mean Star Wars 

figures or Dinky cars. I mean power-ups, weapons, 

ammo, and health. What rarely features in most 

Amiga Doom clones is the finding of keys which 

II let you open the colour correspond 

door. In various other clones. yoL, 

ually find a switch which will be 

red colour and by switching it 

een, will open another 

or somewhere else in the 

maze. 

Breathless allows you to 

look for credits which act 

cash. and when It all 

tals up ot the foot of 

e screen, you'll be 

e to log-on at a comter 

terminal and buy 

eapon boosts, new 

s, health and keys. A bit

Another feature which you 

easily perform is looking up

The computer terminal 

allows you to buy and 

boost your weapons, not 

to mention keys and 

health items 

This screen scren looks a lot like Doom, because you 

can look outside through a gap in the wall 

shooting from your eye-level could 

easily kill it - realistically, this isn't possible. 

However, Breathless lets you 

look up or down at any angle to 

see the enemy. Most of the 

time you will enter a huge 

room and find what looks 

like a drained swimming 

pool with a number of 

beasts In the bottom. 

Looking down enables 

you to pick them off one 

by one. 

However. there is a 

downside. The view is 

quite difficult to toggle 

between and It's hard to 

shoot everything from the one 

angle. This, however, is about 

the only niggle I can find. There is 

one other but I wouldn't refer to it as 

a niggle. You see nearly all the walls are at 

right angles, giving the game much of a boxy feel. 

but it's only when you actually think about it that 

It has any effect on you. By the way, I didn't even 

notice until someone else kindly pointed it out. 

The final word 

Considering this isn't the first Doom 

clone, you'd expect it to be at least 

above overage after seeing the other 

efforts. and Breathless Is above average 

In most ways. Whether it will suit 

your needs is another matter. Although 

There may be four different worlds with 

five sub-worlds, It still won't really lost 

you that long. Okay. so maybe it is a 

challenging game, but you get a pass-

Breathless 

features some 

excellent 

graphics and 

sound effects, 

and it plays 

like a dream, 

word after you finish a level, letting you 

carry on, so you could probably finish in 

less than a week. 

That's about my only gripe. 

Otherwise. Breathless features some 

excellent graphics ood sound effects, 

and it plays like a dream. This certainly 

ranks alongside Fears and Alien Breed 

3D - there's absolutely no doubt In my 

mind.

I'm not really the sort of person who'll sift

And I knew if I did look in the manual, there was 

no way I'd find an option entitled 'Change

was upset, I was glad, because at least I hadn't 

spent about £30 on it.

Hurrah, it's all installed! As I double-clicked on the

make as little movement as possible, and it gave 

me reboot deja vu. "It's going to crash! It is. it is— 

It did!!! N0000," To my surprise. It didn't, and without 

haste it displayed a requester: 'This will reboot 

your machine'. Well thank-you very much. 

As soon as the hard drive light stopped flickering

had landed. Boy, was I happy - relieved too! 

There followed some nice introduction screens, 

and a very long wait for the game to appear.

and I was escorted to what looked like a mission

which nobody can ever remember 

the next few lines for. Well, believe it or 

not. this is a relevant intro/tenuous link because 

software company Vulcan have taken this theme 

and used it in their latest game. Called Hill Sea 

Lido, It's a seaside management simulator - 

sounds a little odd, I mean what possible work is 

involved in managing a stretch of beach? Well. 

it's a whole lot more complicated than you might 

think, and there is plenty of work involved as a 

budding business entrepreneur. 

You have 20 metres of beach and promenade 

to do with what you want, plus the running of the 

Pier Theatre, and the aim is to expand your desolate 

stretch of beach Into a money-making 

resort. You must buy shops, build attractions, and 

keep the place tidy. Staff must be hired too, from 

the lifeguard to the guy that walks around with a 

sandwich board advertising the shows. You need 

regularly hire the Advertisers to walk 

around the beach to tell everyone

life, but then again, why would you want one likf 

that anyway? What it does offer is a novel sco

actually very hard to get those profits rolling in

On the beach you can set up attractions 

such as the dingy hire

Take your pick from the many shops and 

attractions to keep your visitors happy 

or safety. At the other end of the scale, though. 

if you keep your resort pristine then you stand a 

good chance of winning one of the possible 

awards which as well as giving prestige comes 

with extra money. 

Tourists can also be a pain but as usual the 

customer is always right. If there aren't enough 

refreshments or activities they won't come back. 

You can find out who they are by clicking on 

them - the screen will tell you how fussy they are, 

what they want you to build and for, example, 

how hungry they are. 

Graphically, it's bright and cheerful and has a 

harm of its own. It's probably not as detailed as

Bloody tourists, keep an eye on what they 

want though if you want to make money 

and heeky ChippenDave bares all to the 

audit,. ice 

Sound options ore available for this 

too and. for Instance. if you want to 

order something from the warehouse 

the cashier will shake her head to 

agree or disagree accompanied by 

on 'Uh huhl or "Ahal" - basically yes 

or no. The usual seaside noises can 

be heard, along with van engines 

and whines of complaint from the disgruntled 

customers if they see too 

much litter. There are also some nice, 

cheerful dittys which keep the whole 

thing rolling along nicely 

. 

Final word 

Without a doubt, this is one of the most fun 

games we've hod over the last few months. 

Animations add humour, ployability is 

challenging, and the theme is refreshing. 

It's not quite as in-depth as Theme Park, 

which is another game in this fun managementtype 

genre, and maybe it's not up to the same 

graphical quality, but It is definitely as addictive 

and plays brilliantly. It's Only V 2.99 and stacks 

an absolute ton of gameplay into it. Superbly 

designed and a real bargain to boot - you'd be 

crazy not to buy this. 

Things are looking up at long last with the 

recent releases Flight of the Amazon Queen, 

Breathless and Coda. Along with this title we 

could definitely see a revival for the Amiga 

games scene A real breath of fresh air.

The match screen makes Super Tennis

from the SNES, which is no bad thing! 

Der 

There are 

three courts

from if you are 

playing a friendly

computer or a human 

era games on the Amiga have never 

really made an impact on the market. 

In fact, the only game I con remember 

That was any good was Advantage 

Tennis - programmed by a foreign 

company I think. It was a sort of 3D simulation/ 

career game using wire frames. 

Recently. I wrote a preview for another new 

game called Center Court, and I moaned about 

Tennis being one of those less popular sports - 

well, at least not as popular as football. And to be 

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

Alright, so it may be good to actually play, but as 

a spectator all you can do is watch, 

For instance, at a football match, shouting and 

jumping up and down like escaped monkeys 

seems to have an effect on the team you're

Super Tennis Champs is its polished 

feel. It feels like someone 

has actually taken the time to 

present an Amiga game the

Super Tennis Champs by Audiogenic Is

Odyssey, which should be out

To me, Super Tennis 

Champs looks extremely 

Ike Super Tennis on the 

Super Nintendo. and the 

way the sprites are drawn 

is instantly recognisable. 

It also managed to 

otch up a credible 90 per 

cent and more in most 

ogazines. 

The characters in the game 

I had their own personalities - 

t like Super Tennis Chomps has. 

r example, there's Buzz from 

ermany and Synex from 

mad°. You can take part in 

standard friendly game, 

urnament, or league, or go 

II the way and take port in a Grand Slam 

goinst many more computer or human comtitors. 

You are then ranked in a table and the 

rther you get in a tournament, the more points 

u get. 

The actual playing part of Super Tennis

could never stand accused of 

releasing holf-hearted games 

to make a quick buck

for all types of gamesplayers.

too much into the statistical 

side, it will undoubtedly appeal 

to everyone because it's one 

of those games you can sit 

down and play, especially 

against a friend. The two-player 

enjoyment stretches it to the 

limit - in fact many office 

arguments have been resolved 

with a few sets of Super Tennis 

Champs. 

You can see who you'd possibly get to play in 

the next round via the tournament tree 

The second is merely a cross-hair which you 

place where you want the ball to bounce. Also. 

The players all have their own statistics and attributes 

so the player you will pick will have a 

varied effect on your success. 

The Grand Slam tour takes you 

all over the world playing at vari- II 

ous venues, and before you 

start the tournament you are 

split randomly against all the 

other competitors from 

around t h e world. 

Depending on the venue, 

you will either play on a 

hard, clay or grass court. 

Before you begin to get 

,vorried, there's an option 

for you to save your game so 

you can continue at a later 

date if things get a little tough. 

The options screen allows you 

to change settings such as the service, 

you can keep all the players on 111 

the same skill, and can alter 

the scrolling if the ball goes out 

of play. You also get an 

overview of the players you 

get to play with and against, so you can pinpoint 

their strengths and weaknesses. Finally, there's 

the option to load in more characters from disk. 

Final word 

You can 

take. part in a 

standard 

friendly game, 

tournament, 

or league, or 

go all the way 

and take part 

in a Grand 

Slam 

At the moment It must be about 92 per cent complete - all that's waiting to be 

added is the obvious presentational screens. and features such as a manual and 

box. The gameplcry is set about right, all the competitions ore accessible, so from 

what l've seen it's going to be one of the best games this year - even though it's 

hardy started.

rest. 

e 

As far as I know, the only game that's 

relatively similar to Extreme Racing is 

OTM's Virtual Karting - and that's only 

This is the logo. Pretty isn't it? Yes very 

pretty. And no, I'm not running out of 

things to write aboutt 

difficulty levels as well as cup races and the 

aforementioned championship. 

You will be able to race around a series of 

themed tracks including water world, radioactive 

world, normal roads, and space tracks 

where you have to stay on the track, 

presumably because you're in orbit. 

As with Mario Kart, there's a bathe mode 

where you chase your opponent around a 

track, with the idea of smashing him up - rather 

than completing laps. Its pretty similar to the 

Mario Kart version whereby three balloons are 

attached to your kart and you must pop your 

opponents balloons. As it proudly states on the 

In-game Instructions. 'It's Mario Kart - only not 

as cute!' Too right mate. 

The characters you can choose from are 

pretty sketchy at the moment, although from 

what I can make out there is a funny bloke, a 

kid, a monster, a policeman, a woman, a cool 

guy. a Chinese man, and a green monster. They 

may change - hopefully, they will. 

Hopefully, there will be full race replays so 

you can watch where you went wrong and 

why, and thankfully, Extreme Racing will be HD 

installable. 

Final word 

Super Mario Kart. was and always will be, one of 

the finest racing games on any format - ever. If 

Extreme Racing can be half as good, then it 

looks like Guildhall Leisure and Black Magic are 

going to be riding high in the charts again, so 

soon after their success of Fears and Gloom. All 

you have to do is wait for the full review, which 

should be next month - space allowing. 

As for the actual game itself. I played it on a 

Al200 with a Blizzard 1220 and it was very 

Impressive, especially when altering some 

detail and playing around with the frames per 

second. 

because the tracks are ma - 

the same way. Extreme Racing is looking 

far more professional than Virtual 

Karting, and If a few tweaks are mode 

before the full version appears, It could 

well be one of the finest multiplayer 

games of the year. We'll have to wait 

and see. 

You will be 

able to race 

around a 

series of 

themed tracks 

including 

water world, 

radioactive 

world, normal 

roads, and 

space tracks

disks? Good. This month I thought we 

would cover the menu system that 

aNEMO 

AmigoDOS uses on Workbench, In my 

, opinion Workbench's menus are the best of the four 

nmain 

operating systems that most people are familiar 

•••••••• 

owith, 

The Mac's mouse only has one button so you 

-have 

to click at the top of the screen to get menus to 

o 

appear, and the fines are there all the time, taking 

up space that could be used for something else. 

n 

Although Windows supports three button mice, 

e most applications still use the left mouse button to do 

geverything, 

like the Mac. Menu titles ore also on con- 

ostant 

display and have to be clicked on to oppear. 

t The menus in Windows are even worse when it 

acomes 

to keyboard shortcuts Both the Mac ond the 

nAmiga 

use fairly standard keys for commonplace 

y operations, like Amigo-0 for quit, while Windows 

wiRTA• lk. 

puses 

the really obvious shortcut Alt•Frt to exit an 

r 

application. 

The Mari Sr's operating system is based around 

o 

GEM, one of the first GUI systems, ond is pretty poor 

b 

compared to the others. To get at menus on an ST, 

lall 

you have to do is move your mouse up to the top

case you don't know how to perform this fear, ;I E5 

simplicity itself. 

Try it for yourself by following the example I just 

used. Open a window that usually contains files 

without icons like the RAM disk, for example. Now 

hold down the right mouse button as usual to access 

the Window menu, but instead of just letting go ofo 

when you are over the right option, click the left 

mouse button once instead. Click the left mouse but 

ton on the 'show all files' item first, then on the 'view 

by name' option. tosHy, let go of the right mouse but 

ton when you are on the 'select contents' menu item 

and the menu will disappear back up at the top of 

the screen. Your RAM disk window will rush about 

showing the files, changing them into text, and then 

selecting them all. 

Now I know that this demonstration doesn't °du. I 

ally serve very many useful purposes, but you may 

well have programs like PageStream that have menu 

options that can have tick marks next to them to indicate 

that they hove been selected. You can now 

select more than one option at once, rather than 

selecting one, waiting for the operation to occur, 

going bock to the menu, waiting, going back to the 

menu, and so on. 

So let's have a good look at the menus provided 

by Woiithench and check out what options they provide. 

While we are doing this you will notice that 

some menu options are 'ghosted' - the text looks 

funny. This is a visual indication of a menu item that 

cannot be used at the present time. For instance, if 

you have no windows open or selected, then there is 

little point in using the 'show all files' menu item, so it 

is ghosted.

Paul Overac delves 

beneath the surface 

of the Amiga's 

program scatter 

coding routines 

Ai 

taking a look at the routines that ore used 

0 ver to lood the next and few run issues Amiga I am programs. going to The be 

illOrce• 

to - files used to store an executable program on disk, 

• in other words the sacaled Ain igaDOS 'Load Files'. 

A load file consists of a number of units known as 

sta 

'hunks' which, amongst other things, contain program 

code, rtin static data such as graphics and text, and 

details g of any uninitialised space needed by the pro- 

ppm. oWhen 

a user runs such a program, either from 

ithe Workbench n or by typing its name at a Shel win- 

t 

dow, on AmigaDOS loading routine is brought into 

reion. 

f 

The first thing that happens is that a header block 

ois 

read and the space for a hunk table, used during 

r the loading operations, is alocated Immediately after 

tesis, 

appropriate amounts of memory for the various 

hcode, 

data and bss luninihalised spacer hunks present 

in the load file ore alocated, with the hunk con 

e 

tnts being read into the ac 

s 

qBecause 

separate memory alocations for the various 

e 

uired hunks are made, the hunk information basicaly just 

dgels loaded i into any suitable memory area Mot is

into memory_ loadSegl), for example will 

ncreate 

just such a list, and return a pointer to it, if the 

s load is successful, At some stage, of course, any pro. 

gram loaded by this routine will need to be removed 

a

roperation 

is caled UnLoadSegg.

PLACING A LOAD FILE 

INTO MEMORY 

The use of the LoaciSegji routine itself is easy. Load a pointer to the filename into

The result which comes bock in dO should, _DOSB of course, be checked for elf Vt and often 

a convenient way of doing this will be e to sstore e the pointer in memory and test the 

zero flag after the move has been completed like this:

Having got the seglist equivalent of a load file safely into memory, the DOS library 

provides routines, including one coiled CreateProc(), which allows the code to be 

brought to life as a separate process. There are, however, other uses for the loading 

routines - you can, for example, pass files containing just image data structures 

through the conventional assemble/link stages, producing graphics data that can be 

scatter loaded. When it comes to using functions like intuition's Drcrwimage() and so 

on you do, however, need to be able to locate the start of the real data within each 

segment. 

Individual segments which make up a seglist are tied together by means of pointers 

(lICPE pointers) with a NULL value signifying the end of the seglist chain. If we 

then take the starting BPTR seglist pointer provided by a routine such as LoaciSegt), 

left shift it by two bit positions and add 4, we end with on address that is the start of 

the real segment information. Here's a typical piece of example code for scatter 

loading a load file into memory and locating the entry point of the first segment:

SEGLIST POINTERS 

AmigaDOS has its roots in cm operahr 

system called Tripos, much of which wo' 

written in a language called BCPI 

Amigo coders in general do not have to 

worry about BCPL except for the fact 

that it uses a form of long word addressing 

based on the normal 680x0-style 

memory addresses divided by four. lf, 

therefore, an Amiga DOS function is specified 

as returning a BPTR, i.e. a BCPLtype 

pointer, you have to multiply that

If an AmigaDOS function returns a 

EIPTR, then any equivalent der:notation 

function will also expect a BPTR as well. 

This being so, it's usually best to store 

these pointers in BCPL form and then 

convert them just before use like this:

Paul Overaa explains 

how AlRexxis 

de-bugging facilities 

an be used to 

find errors in scripts 

ebugging and testing con be one of the 

most time-consuming stages of any software 

development, and ARexx scripts 

ore, of course, no exception to this. The 

use of proper structured design techniques, modular 

programming, topdown development and so on 

titips, but it will not eliminate all the problems. No 

Tatter how conscientious a programmer you ore, 

some mistakes are bound to be made. 

Sometimes problems will be due to simple syntax 

!tors caused by, say, a basic misunderstanding of 

ow a statement should be written, or a dyslexic 

slip at the keyboard - inadvertently writing Uppre(l 

when you meant Upper( for example, or writing a 

s 

ebecause 

you didn't hit the shift key at the right time. 

mSuch 

mistakes ore usually considered harmless 

because they are easily found and therefore easily 

i orrected. 

- ARexx is very good in this respect and not 

conly 

will it identify most errors but you con be fairly 

oSure 

that any ARexx program which gets to a 

l noble stage is going to be nigh on 100 per cent 

ontacticaly 

correct. 

If, whilst developing a script, you get past the 

n 

ol syntax error stage and your program seems 

wrun 

in some fashion, then often you will be home 

hnd 

dry. Occasionally, however, things will go 

e ong - o program may run to a point arid then for 

n a obvious reason moy lust fail to behave as 

expected. It's at this stage that we enter the realm 

y 

debugging proper and one of the most important 

o 

s available to the modern programmer is easily 

u ble trace facilities. 

mARexx 

supports two basic modes of tracing: 

e sly, there is the normal Or 'non-interactive ' troc• 

amg 

mode which simply alows troce information to 

viewed Secondly, there is on 'interactive' mode 

n 

hich allows the programmer to step through the 

t °gram and interact with it as the trace proceeds 

ttea 

sidin or sterr if available'. It is possible to look 

o at the contents of variables, re-execute clauses, and

ALL T r a c e s all clauses as they are executed. 

BACKGROUND This mode is the same as OFF except for the fact that the TS 

support program con not override it. 

COMMANDS A l l command clauses ore traced before being sent to the external 

host. Any non- zero return codes are also displayed. 

ERRORS C o m m a n d s which result in a non-zero error code are traced. 

INTERMEDIATES Clauses and all intermediate results of expression evaluation are 

traced (including values of variables, the results of function calls 

and expansion of compound names. 

LABELS 

NORMAL 

OFF 

RESULTS 

SCAN 

Traces labels reached either in sequence or via flow control 

statements. 

Default tracing mode. Similar to the ERRORS mode except that on 

error ceiling value (set using the OPTIONS FAILAT instruction 

Form) is used to determine whether or not an error trace should 

be generated. 

Tracing is turned off by this option although this situation can be 

overridden by ARexx's TS program. 

Traces the results of every expression that is evaluated. 

Similar to ALL but it is a parse-only scan so the program does not 

ac•ually get exerL tod.

THE TRACE INSTRUCTION 

The syntax of this instruction takes the 

general form— 

TRACE [ symbol I stringS I I [VALUE] expression]] 

which means that three basic forms of 

the instruction exist, namely: 

TRACE symbol 

TRACE string$ 

TRACE [VALUE] expression 

where the symbol, string or expression 

must either represent (or reduce to) a 

positive or negative integer, or be one of 

the options (or a single letter abbreviation) 

shown in table 1. Negative numeric 

values, incidentally, indicate a 'suppression 

count', which turns ARexx's tracing 

off for a given number of clauses. A positive 

value given during interactive tracing 

indicates that a number of interactive 

'pauses for input' are to be skipped 

over. 

The trace output itself can be sent to 

one of three places: Directly back to stdout 

(which for programs launched from 

111111=Mit ' 1 1 1 


FEBRUARY 1996 

•.J CU/Shell console is the CLI/Shell window 

itself); to a file associated with a 

standard error (stderr) file handle (this 

can of course be another console window); 

or to ARexx's Global Tracing 

Console (a special console which can be 

opened using the TCO utility program). 

Before deciding where trace information 

should be sent, AResix checks for 

the existence of an stderr file handle, if 

you have opened a window or file tied 

to this file handle, or have opened the 

Global Tracing Console (which is automatically 

attached to stderr), then ARexx 

will send its information to this destination, 

otherwise it will send its output 

through the standard output channel 

(stdoutl. The benefit of having trace 

information sent through a separate 

channel is simple - it avoids having 

trace output and normal program output 

intermixed at the same window. 

Of course, what we need now is a few 

examples of these facilities in action to 

drive home the ideas. Needless to say 

this is exactly what's coming in the next

111111111t 

t amazes me sometimes the gap that can 

appear between reality and the fevered 

overblown prattlings of some computer journalists. 

If you were to believe everything you were 

listen to, we should all be living in this amazing 

e called Cyberspace, zooming at break neck 

eed down Magically raytraced tunnels, and 

rid bizarre abstroct worlds - all presented with 

hits that would shame top-of-the-range Silicon 

hit machines. Not that you would have time to 

and admire such a drool-inducing scene as you 

be having cyber sex with hundreds of luscious, 

ling, ready and waiting sex vixens, from all 

ners of the globe. 

Sounds good to me - I cannot wait to get a slice 

that cake. Unfortunately, the reality is a little more 

to Earth, Let's face it, you're lucky if you can 

the NetScope page in under five seconds, but it 

ms that many people, when talking about the 

ternet, live in this possibly hallucinogenically• 

ed fantasy future. 

The icing on the cake came when watching a cer- 

'n British computer games show, and one guy 

altered the words: "Ill just download this movie" and 

Lamm, a QuickTime movie of Drudge Dread instantly 

appears. Apart from sending me into fits of laughter 

and swearing profusely, this sort of misleading action 

is exactly what is going to drive people away from 

using the Internet. 

When actually asked how long it would take to 

download that movie, the journalist admitted it could 

take quarter of an hour for leased line users, and at 

least 45 minutes for normal home users. So what he 

IBROWSE AVAILABLE 

Well a demo at least. The much awaited and talked 

about Web browser, iBrowse, has finally hit the 

streets. The final program will be a commercial product 

so only an early tut-down alpha version is available 

for you to test for 28 days. Point AMosoic at 

http://www.omnipresence.comlibrowsel for all the 

, latest lOrowse information, and the latest demo. 

Even though illrowse has taken a bit of a beating 

on IBC, my early impressions ore very encouraging 

Allowing multiple network connections, igrowse co, 

asynchronously load graphics for the current Web 

page. Even this cut-down version that only allows a 

maximum four, network connections is downloading 

pages as fast as NetScape, and the final version 

allows up to ten connections. Along with a 

large improvement in windows scrolling and the fact it 

does not lock up when downloading information 

illrowse is set to be the premier Amigo Web browser. 

But hang on, what is this I hear about Amiga 

Technologies talking to NetScope? This could get 

b!ik Fantasy 

'44 Net 

was showing you was not a true representation of 

what you would look ot on the Web. 

All right, I hear you cry, I have just spent the last 

couple of paragraphs slogging off the Internet, so 

what good is it? 

You wont to find Out the latest on the Galileo 

probe. When it was approaching Jupiter, NASA 

had up-to-the minute position data of exactly when it 

would reach the Jovian atmosphere. Have you seen 

the PAWS portable Amiga? Why not check it out at 

Blittersoft'S new Web page. 

This is what makes the Internet so useful - infor- 

mation. A great example of this was when I was trying 

to find anything said by Amiga Technologies at 

the Toaster Expo. My first port of coil was the 

Amigo IRC channel. From here you can talk to any. 

one around the world in real time. Having found out 

that the Power Amiga would be using the MPCO04, 

I thought it may be useful to find something out 

about it. Fite up your Web browser, go to ony one 

of the available search engines - tycos being my 

choice -and you quickly end up with a good selection 

of links to IBM and Motorola's Web pages. 

The Internet and all the related services it provides 

ore a great resource, and perhaps in the 

future some of the things will come to pass Silicon 

graphics have produced a virtual web language 

which allows you to explore a three dimensional 

space over the Internet. I think many people may 

need to take a reality check, because it is fine for us 

with leased lines and free phone calls, but the public, 

the people who will make or break this thing, do 

not have these.

u how to avoid

dverts 

nybody con lay out an ad that consists 

of a ful-page picture overlaid with four 

lines of text telling the reader to contact

ads, particularly in Amigo Computing, aren't 

that They °croon) 

products , hove to a skeptical, but targeted, audience 

As tever, o price is of paramount performance 

a lot of blurb about the produci is usually 

s e l l 

ecessory, unless, of course, it is a brand new 

of a kit that no-one has seen before or it's a bit 

tenc l and a deserves r g a word or two of explanan. 

e In fact, we should be able to break down 

ertising n uin Amiga m Computing into three distinct 

odes - those that have hundreds of products 

b e r 

sel, like gomes mail order houses or PD 

aries, those that hove between 10 and 50 

Kis to sell, like most of our advertisers, and 

s that only need to plug one or two items like 

Gordon Harwood ad for Pro•Grab. 

Is the first instance, you can't really be too 

cy with your layout, particularly if it distracts 

eye from searching through the list of items for 

that matches your customers requirements 

should probably end up with a column format 

the information, with boxes at the top and batof 

the page For the name of the company and 

ering information. It's a bit tricky to comment

Fr design elements, but make sure the reader

single item ads, are the ones with the most design 

potential. You can do practically anything and 

sometimes this freedom can be disconcerting. The 

most important thing is to avoid the 'boxy' look 

that a lot of adverts produced on the Amigo 

achieve effortlessly. If you are only advertising 

one product, you can afford to spend the time 

and effort in order to make your ad look a bit spedal. 

Beware of using too many colours or typestyles. 

I know it has been said before, but it is a 

basic rule of layout that you shouldn't make your 

design too busy 

. There are ads in Amigo Computing (I won't 

mention any names] that are incredibly hord to 

garner any information from because they have 

colours running riot over the layout and text that is 

too hard to read. This is not the approach to take. 

First of all, sit back with a cup of tea or a whisky 

and plan out your page lor spread) on a piece of 

paper, just sketching in where you want things to 

go. Make a list of items that you want on the 

page, phone and fax numbers, e

information, delivery detoils and so on. If 

moil you take credit cards, find the relevant images for 

those you accept and if you can't find any, try the 

addresses, 

magazine your od will appear in - they will 

almost certainly have some. Of course, if you ore 

producing the magazine your ad will appear in, 

then you'll just have to draw some for yourself in 

DPaint or, preferably, ProDrow 

. Bear in mind the differences between mono and 

colour artwork il you are producing on ad that will

For the Amigo DIP'er as neither ProPage nor 

PageStream produce files that are even remotely 

compatible with OuarkXPress or PogeMaker. 

Probably your best bet if you are dealing with a 

large magazine is to lay out your ad as you want 

it and then send the pictures. logos, etc. to the 

magazine along with a printout 'preferably in 

colour' of your ad for the art deportment to work

logs, eh? I bet you don't think about them 

or give them a second thought, do you? 

You don't have the slightest idea what I'm 

talking about, do you? Well, o flog, for 

the purposes of this discourse, is a vanwhich 

is set to indicate to a program that a 

in state exists So when the flog is set, some. 

ng has happened that the program should know 

, and more importantly doesn't need to check 

again. Until, that is, the state changes, in which 

se the flag is changed and the program then 

s checking for that state again. Confused? 

y iers use on example. 

In arcade games, you fire a bullet from your 

ship/loser/whatever. The program checks the 

buton and if its on it activates and moves a 

sprite across the screen away from the gun, ii 

let the sound effect of the gun going off, and 

ks the bullet across the screen until it hits

So you make o loop to check for the button on 

joystick being pressed. Simple enough, yes? 

el, the first thing you notice when you write a 

ine like this from scratch is that when you press

round about 50 times a second, so when you

The buzzing noise is the bullet sound, the bong,

reason the bullet doesn't leave the barrel is that 

skirts its journey every time the button is sensed to

OVER TO YOU 

Why not send me your examples of Hags, and interesting uses to which they can be 

put. Making a process easier, showing the program that states have changed, even 

some interesting flip-flop effects (('II be going into those another time) - anything 

really as long as it's about 10 lines of code or less and it Mcludes a flag or two. I'm 

particularly interested in graphic elleas, but timing and more mundane task are 

acceptable. Perhaps there is on interface problem you can solve with these flags? 

Look into it. I'll look at the best in a month or two. In the meantime see you 

next month for another arcade game routine which you'll find handy when you 

design your own version of an arcade classic.

That's simple enough Sense the joystick, make a 

bang [in this case a nice sample], then move the 

sprite Iwo pixels at a time from the barrel to the 

edge of the screen in a straight line. If it gets 100 

pixels away from the ship without hitting something 

it gets turned off. But this routine suffers from 

buzzing and no bulets. The better way of doing it 

is: 

In this version, when the button is pressed the flag 

• 

• 

MISSFLAG is set from 0 to 1. In the next line the missile 

is moved only if MISSFLAG is still 1. Until the missile 

moves 100 pixels away from the barrel, the flag is 

stil set, so the fire button is dead. You only fire one 

shot. When the first missile vanishes [you could 

explode it, but in this case it just vanishes), you con 

then shoot another. Obviously, you could vary the timing 

so that you can add a multiple shot, perhaps, or 

make it a second (or 50/50ths of a second' or even 

half a second between shots, enabling the player to 

get his finger off the button. 

This is an extremely useful technique and one 

which answers a lot of those questions you ask, like 

'how do you do that? Nine times Out of ten the 

answer is either flogs, subroutines or vectors. A side 

benefit of using flogs in your Amos programming is 

that these techniques ore used quite a lot in the worlds 

of C and assembly programming. So as and when 

you move on to those languages, as you might in the 

course of time, you will be prepared for at least one 

cool trick. 

WRITE STUFF 

If you have any other Amos programs or 

queries about Amos, please write to the 

usual address, which is: Phil South, Amos 

Column, Amiga Computing, Media House, 

Adlington Park, Macclesfield SKI° ANP. 

Please send routines on an Amiga disk 

with notes on how the program works 

on paper, not as text files on the disk. 

,Make the routines short enough to 

appear in print, i.e. no more than about 

30-40 lines of code and, if possible, 

make them use no external graphics, or 

if they can't be used without them then 

be sure to provide them on the disk in 

native f FF formal, and the same goes for 

sound files. Follow these guidelines and 

you'll be sure of making me a happy 

man if nothing else.

Paul Overaa looks 

behind the scenes 

at a new Amiga 

music project with 

a difference 111111 

11 

; 

7— 

migo users ore soon going to be introduced, 

initially via mail order advertisements, 

to a company coiled Tangent 

NOM Music Design and a compoct disc land 

tri cassette] album called Everybody's Girlfriend. 

What has this to do with the Amiga music scene? 

Quite a lot - you see the three partners of Tangent 

Music ore none other than Edward Fermor, Richard 

'Knox... and David Pleasance who, as you'll oil 

doubtless know, was Managing Director of 

Commodore Business Machines UK until Escom 

GmBH purchased the worldwide ossets of the 

Commodore group and the UK branch hod to 

close 

What you probably will not know is that David 

Pleasance is also o musician, a guitarist in fact, 

ith a particular passion for Flomenco. He's hod 

his own Flamenco dance company, has studied guibr 

in Spain, and has appeared in concert, cabaret 

and on TV, supporting people like John Farnham 

and Gallagher and Lyle 

Amiga is actually Spanish for girlfriend and the 

Everybody's Girlfriend album is then essentially a 

celebration in music of Pen years of the Amigo, with 

the 14 tracks being inspired by the Amigo, recorded 

using Amigos, and written and produced by 

people who know the Amigo. 

This first album provides o chance to hear something 

of the musical talents of David Pleasance. 

Everybody's Girlfriend was in foci David's brainchild, 

with the initial planning of the project beginning 

around November of 1994. Recording, which 

did not start until September of last year, has been 

carried out using Amigos running the Blue Ribbon 

Soundworks Bars & Pipes sequencer, and the 

Sunrise Studio 16 B-trock, 16-bit digital recording 

I've been one of the few reviewers lucky 

enough to get a sneak preview of the tracks on 

Ph. Everybody's Girlfriend album, it's quite an 

Impressive mixed bog with the music and 

lyrics for all except four of the tracks 

being attributed to a band called 'Passion', 

who turn out to be Tangent's Ed Firmer and 

Richard Knox, both of whom are established 

session players. Ed also has lots of TV and 

video work under his belt and in 1993, for 

instance, accompanied the renowned deaf percussionist 

Evelyn Glennie on a world tour. 

Richard, a singer/songwriter/keyboard player, 

has played and recorded both in the UK and 

the States and, as well as various TV appearances, 

also has a number of film credits to his 

name. 

'chard Knox does a good job with the main 

vocals on half a dozen of the tracks, although 

there is a particularly good raunchy number 

called 'Lay You Down' which features P 

Philips and Angie Brown on vocals. You'll also 

find an interesting raw blues track, and a fe'w 

instrumentals including an excellent David 

Pleasance Flamenco track 'Para Mi Amiga 

(Homage to Jay Miner)'. You might like to 

know, incidentally, that David's personal 

favourites from the album are the pop song 

Don't Let Me Fall, the love song called Roses, 

and an instrumental track. Infinity! 

should think that the fact that David 

Pleasance is both executive producer on the 

Everybody's Girlfriend album, and one of the 

musicians, is going to be enough in itself to 

make this offering a bit of a collectors' item 

amongst Amigo owners. When you add to this 

The sound 

of music? 

system. When it comes to professional recording, 

however, not even Amigos con work in total isolation 

and, needless to soy. Tangent's 32 channel, 

24-track digital recording studio also has its fair 

share of other hi-tech equipment scattered around. 

There's a Soundcraft DC2000 fully automated 

desk, and Iwo Tascam DA88 recorders which link 

to the Amigo-based Sunrise Studio 16 system. 

Everything gets mastered to a Toscam 

DA30 MKII DAT which can then be 

recorded to a Morantz DD82 DCC, a 

Sony ICK6115, ond to Phillips recordable 

CD (which is linked incidentally to 

on Amiga 300011. If you also odd the 

massive assortment of outboard effects, 

sound modules and samplers, including 

a Roland JV1080, Roland 5760 and a 

Korg Wavestation SR, Genelec monitors 

in the control room, Spirit Absolute 2s in 

the studio and so on, then it's hordly surprising 

that things sound good. 

There is, incidentally. 

also a small

satellite studio available which pincludes an Amiga 

4000/030 running Bars & Pipes where many of the 

ideas for the new Tangent MI.J3iC album storied life. 

This in itself should be of interest because this latter 

type of setup is typical of that which can be found 

in the home studios of many 

Amiga-based musicians.

Steve White explains 

how you can 

make your object 

brushes dance to 

your tune 

ples of picture design, backdrops and 

S special effects. This month, and for the 

Illl o next few issues, we will be looking at 

animation f principles and specific techniques 

applicable to animation, 

a 

Obviously, drawing single images is a lot less 

painless r than creating an animation, but most 

reputable w art packages include a plethora of differ 

e 

er en ha 

hell of a lot easier, and quicker, than that on 

Isoper. t o Unfortunately, understanding the techniques 

con take a while and even then, opplying 

fv 

them correctly can prove a recurring nightmare. 

So ue 

for simplicity's sake, I won't be going into the 

Nth ns 

dimension to explain these functions but will 

provide ct 

simple techniques with results so that you 

have ti u o head start for your own experimentation. 

od 

Just as with a single image, it is vitally important 

that you put your animation down on paper 

First 

ni 

in the form of storyboards_ Storyboords are 

smal s e roughs of the key elements, scenes and 

camera td 

angles within an animation. You don't 

need ht 

to draw in detail, just enough so that you 

personaly ah 

understand what it is you're planning 

and how it works. 

t e 

RENDERING mb 

OPTIONS 

The a 

next thing to do is work out what animated 

effects ks 

ore included and the best options for rendering 

e i (drawing) them, To pinpoint certain 

aspects ac 

I will be referring to the animation shown 

here in the screenshots. The techniques explained 

np 

can be employed in many different ways ond 

with ir 

any animation, not just the one I have 

supplied. mi 

an 

At the computer, the first thing to do is to design 

all tcthe 

objects that will make up your completed 

onim i 

(short for animation). Although lilt more 

appealing to aduolly design as you go, I can guarantee 

o- 

you'll eventually wish you hadn't. Create all 

the n objects and save them independently with 

suitable o filenames, If you end up with a lot of 

objects n and they're not properly labelled, you 

end a up wasting precious time and freaking Out 

regularly. 

c 

With the boring bits out of the way you 

con then simply click ,

cmFROM i e c e s START TO FINISH 

tpo g e t h 

eu r o 

When zooming objects in you'll quickly reah that the 

, t 

that make up the object turn 'blocky' as they are magnified. 

dThere 

- is a way around this which entails drawing the original 

object at its largest size. You can then set the animation position 

to the last frame in the zoom and render the brush zooming 

Out, but with the animation running backwards and with 

a positive value in the End z position.

you'l feel happier, and more confident, spending 

time getting the finished animation accurate. 

Both Deluxe Point and Brilliance have powerful 

Move functions They allow you to set the initial 

start position of the brush, the end position, os well 

as any rotations you want to occur throughout the 

procedure. There are three important values for 

both position and rotation and these are labelled x, 

y and z The x and y are the easiest to explain and 

understand. With x you con move your brush in the 

horizontal (left and right) and y allows you to move 

the brush in the vertical (up and down). If you are 

moving clouds or a ship you would use the x position, 

and to move a lift or a helicopter you would 

use y. 

Z is a different matter altogether. If you can 

imagine a line travelling straight through the centre 

of your screen, you will have discovered the z axis 

When you realise that z moves brushes 

closer and farther away it is easier to visualise this 

imaginary line. The position of a brush hos two 

uses - for moving objects or for camera pans. 11 

you move a car off screen horn a standstil then it 

will be clearly obvious that the abject has itself 

moved. However, if you move an entire scene off 

screen then it will appear that the camera has in 

fact moved (panned' rather than the scene. The

same principle also applies to z. You con appear to 

move an object closer or farther away but by moving 

the entire scene you give the impression that the 

camera is zooming in or out. Sorry to go on about x, 

y and z, but they need to be understood if you 

are maximise your potential with computer-aided 

animation. 

X, y and z also feature with rotation as well as 

position. Using rotation you can turn your brush in 

every angle while the brush is being moved through 

the position axis settings. Rotation is more difficult to 

grasp than position but if you can imagine the x, y 

and z position lines on your screen, rotation simply 

rotates the brush around the corresponding axis, like 

an apple skewered on a stick. I hove supplied a 

screensho indicating the position and rotation axis, 

so if you still can't quite grasp the idea take a look 

at it.

Gary Whiteley offers 

some helpful 

advice for 

would-be Amiga 

DIVers 

lion over the last few months, ond hinted 

S at some of the ways you con use fonts for 

iSIM 

video titling. I thought it might be a good 

n.deo 

to go over the basics of video titling hard- 

cware, 

what you need, how it's connected together 

e Ond what you might achieve with a basic setup. 

I 

I'll keep it as simple as possible for those of you 

with the yearning, but not yet the knowledge, to 

' 

add graphics and titles to your own videos, such 

vat 

holiday films, weddings and family events. 

e 1 you have an Amiga with its own colour video 

goutput 

(such as the Amiga 1200) then you olready 

ihove 

a machine with which you con do simple 

vIdling 

and graphics to video. You probably realise 

ethat 

you can use either the RF or video outputs to 

n display your Amigo programs on a suitable TV, 

ybut 

did you know that you can also use them to 

orecord 

the output from your Amiga to video? The 

u 

simplest way is to connect the Al200's RE output 

to the aerial input on your VCR, and then monitor 

a 

it via your TV in the usual way whilst you record 

l or prepare graphics, though the picture quality 

l won't be morvellous. 

t 

hCROSSOVERS 

aAdd 

another VCR in place of the Amigo and you 

t con copy sections of your production across and 

f make an edit from your original video footage, 

ocutting 

out all the worst ports. If you want to odd a 

ntitle 

or graphic simply reconnect the Amigo to the 

record VCR (the one you're editing onto), use your 

t 

favourite point or titling software to make your 

i 

graphics, and then record them. The quality of the 

nedits 

you'll gel with such a system will be rather 

f hit and miss, since there's no way to control the 

ooccuracy 

of the cuts, so 'glitches are likely to 

r occur, but for almost no outlay (provided you can 

mgel 

your hands on two VCRs, one of which could 

a 

- 

SINGLE CONNECTION 

In addition to its overlay functions, the advantage of using a 

genlork is that you don't have to keep reconnecting equipment, 

since it can output either Amiga graphics, incoming 

video, or a combination of both, so if you just want to edit 

picture only simply switch the genlock's output to Video 

Only. 

However, a genii:KJ( still won't cure glitchy edits, since it 

affect the way that two (unsynchronised) VCRs relate 

, 

a, 

qect ce 

either split second accuracy or perfectly clean edits. 

•:Iember h m that you're working on the cheap, so bear this in 

leind ow 

before you get depressed wondering why your CI000 

fcollobled-logether 

th 

video edit suite can't compare to a E10000 

Pro•SVHS or E30000+ litetaCam system.

Titling for 

beginners 

A A 

be a camcorder) and a TV or two (a second TV is 

useful for cueing up the playback VCR, though not 

totally essential) you can at leost experiment with 

video titling from your Amiga. 

Incidentally, if your VCR has a composite video 

input in addition to the standard RF you'd be better 

advised to use it if possible, since the quality 

will be better than RE. IF your video has a SCART 

connector you can always buy a suitable set of 

leads to connect from the Al200's phono video 

output to your VCR's SCART socket. 

Owners of most other Amigos won't have it so 

easy. Inexplicably, for such.° DTV-friendly 

machine, most of the other Amigos in circulation 

don't have an RF or colour video output, so you'll 

have to add one in the form of either a modulator, 

genlock or encoder card, depending on your 

needs, your budget and the type of Amiga you 

have, 

Each of these devices connects to the Amiga's 

ROB port and convert the Amigo's native RGB 

signal to one ot more forms of video signal, 

For instance RE, composite video, or SVHS. 

Genlocks allow computer graphics to be 

'keyed' over background video, enabling text or 

graphics to be superimposed directly on top of 

video pictures. In simple terms, this means that 

wherever the background colour (palette Colour

01 occurs, the video image will show through 

behind the graphics, though some genlocks permit 

other colours to be used os their background key 

colour, 

Modulators and encoders simply convert RG8 to 

video and cannot usually provide any superimposition 

or other genlock functions. They are usually 

used to take the Amiga's display to a TV or moni• 

tor, or to provide a video signol for recording 

and/or further manipulation. Note that on encoder 

will generally provide a higher quality output than 

a modulator, since they are built with video in 

mind, rather than TV display. 

If you hadn't olready realised it, you'll also 

need two VCRs if you want to use a genlack. One 

VCR provides playback for the source video, which 

in turn is needed to 'genlock' (in other words, synchronise) 

the Amigo's display timing to that of the 

incoming video signal, while the second VCR is 

necessary to record the composited graphics and 

source video from the genlock's output.

able from the hp site or at the top of most people's 

shopping list, And true to form WaveRider offers a 

concise and friendly means of listing and 

subsequently accessing the goodies on offer via a 

excelent hot linked nide*. 

To odd even more user friendliness to the 

WaveRider experience the site is about to implement 

a Java oriented on-line preview of the models 

available from the archives. 

Soon anyone kitted out with a suitable Java cormpliont 

browser will be able to audition the models 

on offer actually on the site, prior to committing to 

what can often be a very sizeable download. If 

you're in the market for lots of lightWave freebies 

WaveRider is simply too good to ignore. 

you can link up with the various 

resources floating around in the electronic 

ethos. Needless to say, given the 

inherent complexity of the package, 

joining the mailing list is a particularly 

wise move. 

Aside from the Real 3D specific stuff. 

the official site also boasts an impressive 

collection of links to more general 

3D-related web resources, all of which 

ore well worth a visit regardless of the 

allegiance to a particular package or 

platform.
