111101AG A Z I N E NOVEMBER 1996 • CONTENTS<br />

Editorial<br />

This is the fi rst issue with our monthly CD-ROM<br />

..attached (for those who purchased the CD issue that is). And boy do<br />

we have some treats in store for you on forthcoming CDs. On both<br />

CD and floppy disk this issue there is a superb utility: XCAD 2000.<br />

Those who remember our cover mounted XCAD Designer two years<br />

ago, will just love this. On the games side of things check out the<br />

demo of Blobz, it really is a cracking little game. If you're a fan of<br />

Lemmings then you're on to a good thing. It's reviewed on page 38.<br />

The feature this month, about connecting your <strong>Amiga</strong> to the<br />

Psion Series 3 and Siena could prove fortuitous with Christmas<br />

approaching. We're big fans of these little computers here in <strong>CU</strong><br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>land and if you don't already have one then check them out now. Of course the big bonus<br />

is connecting them to your <strong>Amiga</strong>. Write documents on the move and then download them to<br />

Final Writer or whatever your lave word processor is.<br />

Our cover story this month is the long awaited Chaos Engine 2. We thought it might be ready<br />

for review but in the end, although it was nearly there, there were a few minor alterations to be<br />

made so instead we were given unprecendented exclusive access to the game to test each level<br />

and get a feel for the gameplay. And it looks impressive. See the feature on page 34.<br />

This is my final month at the helm of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine. I am moving off to another project<br />

so by the time you read the next issue there will be a replacement face grinning away at you from<br />

the top left hand corner of this box. Who will it be? Can't say, but rest assured whoever it is will<br />

maintain the high standards <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />

sets as the most innovative and exciting <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

magazine in the business. It has been an exciting<br />

two and a half years in the editor's seat and<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> has seen many changes during it.<br />

Like everything it needs the boost of new technology<br />

to survive long term, and hopefully this<br />

will happen sooner rather than later. <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine will keep you informed of events as<br />

they happen. Goodbye and thanks for everything.<br />

Alan Dykes, Editor<br />

Feature<br />

20•Psion palmtops Et the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

The Psion palmtop computer<br />

could bring portable<br />

computing to the <strong>Amiga</strong> at<br />

last. Like the <strong>Amiga</strong>, the<br />

Psion also has a superb<br />

multitasking operating<br />

system and<br />

makes an excellent<br />

portable buddy to<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong>. We<br />

look into the<br />

Psion's capabilities<br />

and the<br />

superb shareware<br />

software package<br />

for connecting the<br />

Psion palmtops to<br />

your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

Getting started<br />

OK then, cards on the table: XCAD 2000 uses a<br />

bit of a quirky interface. While most of it is controlled<br />

in the normal way from pull down menus<br />

and windows it also has a command line 'console'<br />

at the bottom of the screen. This can be<br />

used to enter commands directly from the keyboard,<br />

although you don't have to use it it all.<br />

You'll notice when you make menu selections that<br />

commands appear in this box. One way of learning<br />

the command line short cuts is to keep an eye<br />

on it while you make your menu selections.<br />

The other thing to note is that after you've<br />

made your initial menu selection you'll often be<br />

faced with a customised sub-menu. These can be<br />

different depending on which selection you have<br />

made. Sometimes these will also have their own<br />

sub-menus for further selections. Generally clicking<br />

on Return or Action from these menus will confirm<br />

your selection or continue to the next menu. Where<br />

a value needs to be selected you'll be presented<br />

with a small calculator-style pad. Certain selections<br />

require you to first select a parameter then its value,<br />

followed by any other parameters that are needed. For<br />

example, to alter the rotation of the viewpoint, you<br />

could select X, then the amount of rotation for the X<br />

axis, then do the same for any rotation you might<br />

require around the other axes.<br />

it's also combined with CAM<br />

Demo drawing<br />

To load the demo drawing, first<br />

start up the 3D version of XCAD<br />

2000. There are a number of<br />

icons you can use to start up the<br />

program. Each one will launch<br />

either the 2D or 3D version in<br />

one of a number of screen<br />

mods, as indicated by the text<br />

labels_ Lower resolutions with<br />

fewer colours require less memory<br />

to run. Select one of the 3D<br />

icons. Now you can open the<br />

demo drawing. Select Open<br />

Drawing from the File menu then<br />

click on Return. This will bring up<br />

a file requester, in which you<br />

should see a drawer called 3D<br />

and a file called Oxford-model.<br />

xdr. Click on the 3D drawer and<br />

then select the Oxford-2000 file.<br />

You won't see anything<br />

yet, as the program doesn't

I I I<br />

Before you can use XCAD 2000 you need to install it to your<br />

hard drive. To do this, boot efrom your hard drive as usual and<br />

insert the XCAD cover disk. Double click the XCAD disk icon<br />

and you'll see another icon marked Extract XCAD. Double<br />

click this to start the installation. A file requester will appear<br />

asking you to select your chosen destination for the program.<br />

Select the destination and click on OK. An XCAD drawer will<br />

automatically be created and the program will be extracted<br />

to your hard drive.<br />

Once the installation is done you can go ahead and run the<br />

program straight away from your hard drive. You can choose<br />

to start the program in a rnumber of screen modes and colour<br />

depths by clicking on one of a few alternative XCAD icons.<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP<br />

Disk number 145<br />

As a complement to our Psion-<strong>Amiga</strong> feature in this issue<br />

we've included the software required to link the two together.<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP can be found on cover disk 145 (the Blobs<br />

disk). First of all you need to extract the archive to RAM: or<br />

any other device, such as your hard drive. Once this archive<br />

has been extracted you can then run the proper installation<br />

program from the extracted drawer. This will install the program<br />

on your system. For more information on using<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP see the documentation in the archive and also<br />

check out the Psion-<strong>Amiga</strong> feature on page 20 of this issue.<br />

Blobs•Derno for Al 200/A4000<br />

Disk number 145: Blobz is a<br />

top little game, reviewed on page<br />

38 of this very issue. So you'll be<br />

wanting to play the demo then.<br />

Blob<br />

mEE-- e pIu<br />

10.910<br />

Blobz is archived onto disk 145<br />

so it needs to be uncompressed<br />

onto two separate floppy disks.<br />

To do so you'll need to load<br />

Workbench first. If you are<br />

working from a floppy version<br />

of Workbench make sure to<br />

write protect it first and, as<br />

usual, always write protect<br />

your cover disk. Once<br />

Workbench is loaded insert<br />

disk 145 and double click it<br />

with your left mouse button. Three icons will<br />

appear. The first two dearchive Blobz disks 1 and 2, the third one is<br />

for <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP and details for it are given opposite. To dearchive the<br />

first Blobz disk double click the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Diskl icon. If<br />

you have a hard drive a message will appear telling you that it is<br />

copying the disk to RAM. If you are operating from floppy disk you<br />

will have to swop disk 145 with your Workbench disk twice before<br />

this message appears. When a screen appears asking you to insert a<br />

blank formatted disk, do so and press return, Once Blobz disk 1 has<br />

been created (the screen returns to the Disk 145 icon and all disk<br />

activity ceases), remove the new disk and re-insert disk 145, then<br />

repeat the procedure for the Unpack_blobz_AGA_Disk2 icon. The<br />

new Blobz demo disk 1 is autobooting. so restart your <strong>Amiga</strong> with it<br />

in DM: and then change to disk two when requested.<br />

How to play<br />

Blobz is based on Lemmings, and like that pillar of society you have<br />

to prevent a load of little creatures (in this case Blobz) from falling<br />

over the edge of platforms, getting them to the transporter at the<br />

other end of the level. Some transporters have to be activated by<br />

picking up diamonds.<br />

- screen Others on each level will give you<br />

have to do. Blobz is mouse con-<br />

ECTS<br />

But Guildhall signs important deals<br />

Ithough it was one of<br />

the biggest trade<br />

shows in recent history,<br />

the ECTS (European<br />

Computer Trade Show) had very<br />

little to show for itself on <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

Despite millions of pounds being<br />

spent on stands by the likes of<br />

Virgin and Acclaim it was only<br />

among the smaller nooks and<br />

crannies that <strong>Amiga</strong> titles appeared,<br />

the main point of contact<br />

being the Guildhall leisure stand.<br />

Guildhall were displaying the 10<br />

out of 10 range of educational<br />

software along with new titles<br />

from Audiogenic such as Brian<br />

Lara Cricket '96. They were also<br />

investigating the distribution of a<br />

A Guildhall leisnre were flyieg the <strong>Amiga</strong> liag with<br />

products tram 10 Out oilS,Audiegenic arid more.<br />

A Ian Jenkins ham Pliny Blinate was anvil,<br />

ell PO at HIS.<br />

ops for <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

range of games from a Polish<br />

company called Mirage Software -<br />

not to be confused with the UK<br />

based Mirage, developers of Rise<br />

Of The Robots and other titles.<br />

More news from Guildhall concerned<br />

the licencing of the rights<br />

to MicroProse and Codemasters'<br />

one back catalogues of games, to<br />

resell as budget titles. The<br />

Microprose deal is, according to<br />

Guildhall's Managing Director,<br />

Giles Hunter, "very close to completion",<br />

while the Codemasters<br />

one should be sorted out by mid<br />

October. Hunters' ultimate aim<br />

is to release a complete back<br />

catalogue of games at attractive<br />

prices from these publishers in<br />

time for Christmas. They are also<br />

talking to-other publishers with a<br />

view to similar deals, so the<br />

shops should be filling up with<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> games again soon.<br />

Other <strong>Amiga</strong> games being<br />

promoted at the show were<br />

Chaos Engine 2 (once again on<br />

the Warner stand - and our cover<br />

story this month), XP8 and<br />

Ruffian. The latter was originally<br />

reviewed last year and was due<br />

for release at the time by<br />

Grandslam, who, at the last<br />

moment, dropped the title. The<br />

programmers have now decided<br />

to go ahead with distributing and<br />

publishing the game themselves,<br />

having tweaked the product a little<br />

( it is re-reviewed on page 41),<br />

Andy Davidson, fresh from<br />

being interviewed for The Times<br />

computer supplement, Interface.<br />

was at the show telling everyone<br />

that the PC is crap and the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

rules. In fact he was adamant that<br />

Worms AGA (previewed exclusively<br />

in <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />

September 1996) is going to be<br />

on time and absolutely fantastic.<br />

More news on this (and the Alan<br />

Dykes revenge worm he is planning<br />

to include in the game) in the<br />

coming months.<br />

The ECTS has in the past been<br />

a showcase for <strong>Amiga</strong> software<br />

along with every other computer<br />

and console format under the<br />

sun. Traditionally held in both<br />

Spring and Autumn in 1997 it<br />

seems likely that the Spring show<br />

will be cancelled to make way for<br />

a much bigger annual show in the<br />

Autumn. If this is the case both<br />

hardware and software developers<br />

have a full year to get the themselves<br />

together to put on a better<br />

show than they did (apart from<br />

stalwarts Guildhall) this year.<br />

PIOS Proceeds Down Different Path<br />

John Smith of RIOS cleared u:<br />

the situation regarding their<br />

clone computer recently,<br />

announcing that it would indeed<br />

be a Macintosh clone, based<br />

around the PowerPC chip and<br />

Mac OS 7.5.3_ As far as the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> is concerned, and as their<br />

Web site indicates, PIGS are having<br />

problems communicating<br />

with VIScorp over licencing the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> OS (the buyout, re-scheduled<br />

to have been completed on<br />

September 18th is still not being<br />

confirmed at the time of going to<br />

press). As a result they have<br />

gone for a new project called<br />

PIGS 1', which will not be based<br />

on <strong>Amiga</strong> OS, but on a different<br />

OS called Be0S, which is being<br />

developed with the aid of ex-<br />

<strong>Commodore</strong> engineer Dave<br />

Hanle, This system is not compatible<br />

with <strong>Amiga</strong> but is, in the<br />

words of Mr Smith in the spirit<br />

of <strong>Amiga</strong>" and is "the fastest way<br />

to progress under the current circumstances."<br />

PIOS needs to get<br />

a machine on the market as soon<br />

as possible. and waiting for<br />

VIScorp to sanction a new OS<br />

and get licencing arrangements<br />

set up will delay this too long.<br />

PIGS were present at the<br />

ECTS in an attempt to drum up<br />

support from software publishers<br />

for their project, but were unwilling<br />

to comment on their success<br />

apart from saying "some <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

developers have expressed an<br />

interest, but we can't say more<br />

than that."<br />

Mirage of PoIan<br />

Mirage Software from Warsaw, in<br />

Poland have never had an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

game published in the UK, but<br />

their Sales Manager, Lech<br />

Buszczynski, claims that they<br />

have literally dozens of <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

titles available. There's one problem<br />

however: they're all in Polish!<br />

(As in the language not stuff you<br />

put on your shoes.)<br />

We previewed Super<br />

Taekwondo Master and Rock Srar<br />

two months ago, and they've now<br />

sent us even more as yet unpublished<br />

titles, with interesting<br />

names like: Mortal Weapon,<br />

CyberForce, Pinball Hazard, Dan<br />

Wilder, Gate 2 Freedom. Domain.<br />

Juraiski, Rooster and Project<br />

Battlefield. Not all of these are of<br />

full price quality but some like the<br />

aforementioned Super Taekwondo<br />

Master, Pinball Hazard and the<br />

Doom Clone, Project battlefield,<br />

show some promise. Guildhall<br />

showed some interest in the<br />

games at ECTS, although Mirage<br />

may have to get some more reliably<br />

translated before a UK distributor<br />

takes them on. They<br />

might also have to adopt a flexible<br />

approach to their company<br />

title, as the UK firm of the same<br />

name are likely to object,<br />

Direct To Your Door<br />

A new company has set up with<br />

the aim of a two pronged attack<br />

on the <strong>Amiga</strong> market: in retail and<br />

in software publishing.<br />

Direct Software's shop, based in<br />

Northampton, originally stocked all<br />

platforms, however as <strong>Amiga</strong> sales<br />

far outnumbered other formats they<br />

are now an <strong>Amiga</strong>-only shop.<br />

Convinced of the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s long term<br />

success, <strong>Amiga</strong> Director, Steven<br />

Flowers said: "We do not tolerate<br />

any discussion on the late of the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>', there is no fate, only a<br />

future for this machine".<br />

Cut price CD-ROMs<br />

Fred Fish, grandfather of freely<br />

redistributable software on the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>. is cutting prices on <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

CD-ROMs. The budget line of 'CD<br />

Sensations' from Schatztruhe are<br />

available for USS12 each and the<br />

newest Aminet Set 3 is only<br />

USS536. Virtually all <strong>Amiga</strong> products<br />

have been discounted.<br />

Cronus, the company that grew<br />

out of Fred Fish's <strong>Amiga</strong> Library<br />

Services, publishes original <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

titles and acts as the distributor for<br />

GTI of Germany. Cronus can be<br />

reached at +602-491-0442 voice,<br />

+602-491-0048 fax, or http://<br />

Myst fake aftermath<br />

Spurred on by the amount of supportive<br />

response they have<br />

received Myst's creators, Cyan,<br />

have begun considering the realities<br />

of implementing and publishing<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> Myst_ So far, no<br />

commitments have been made.<br />

However, Cyan representatives<br />

have discussed the <strong>Amiga</strong> and the<br />

potentials of Myst with both<br />

VIScorp and <strong>Amiga</strong> game developers<br />

in the US and Europe.<br />

Cheap memory for A3000s<br />

The A3000 is regarded by many<br />

as <strong>Commodore</strong>'s best <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

hardware design. One of the<br />

drawbacks to the machine for<br />

the modern user is its memory<br />

system. At the time it was developed,<br />

SIMMs were not the industry<br />

standard they are today, and<br />

as such <strong>Commodore</strong> chose a different<br />

memory system using<br />

now-scarce ZIP chips.<br />

Keith Siders of ProvTech, an<br />

American <strong>Amiga</strong> hardware company,<br />

has found a solution. The<br />

AmiFAST 3000 card replaces the<br />

ZIPs in your A3000 and gives you<br />

up to four SIMM slots to expand<br />

Their new game, Haunted, which<br />

is in the early stages of development<br />

(see screenshot below) will be<br />

a murder mystery affair. We should<br />

have a preview very soon.<br />

S t a t e s i d e By Jason Compton<br />

your machine to up to 16Mb of<br />

Fast RAM. The card is available<br />

as a finished product, a kit, or a<br />

bare PCB - the latter two options<br />

are less expensive, but only recommended<br />

for hardware enthusiasts<br />

who enjoy building their<br />

own projects.<br />

The AmiFAST is already<br />

AudioLab<br />

Maurizio Ciccione's AudioLab 16<br />

is now available in a new version,<br />

written specifically for Petsoff's<br />

new Delfina DSP sound card<br />

(reviewed this issue). Rated at an<br />

impressive 84% in the August 96<br />

issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine,<br />

AudioLab 16 is a multi purpose<br />

sound processing tool and hard<br />

drive audio sequencer with an<br />

emphasis on professional quality<br />

Turkish American<br />

Revolution Sim<br />

Unlikely though it may seem, an<br />

American Revolution sim has<br />

arrived on our desk from <strong>Is</strong>tanbul,<br />

Turkey. It is a turn based game<br />

where you take over command of<br />

either British troops trying to resist<br />

the rebellion, Colonial troops trying<br />

to create it. German mercenaries<br />

helping the British or the French,<br />

who are trying to manipulate<br />

Britain's disadvantage to their benefit<br />

by helping the colonials. It's<br />

neatly put together and you can<br />

visit most of the towns, cities and<br />

settlements on the east coast of<br />

Her Majesty's Colonies and fight<br />

histronic battles.<br />

There is a rolling demo of the<br />

game on our CD-ROM this month.<br />

For details of how to get hold of<br />

the game contact the developer<br />

Murad Omay direct by fax in Turkey<br />

on +90 (2121259 07 91.<br />

, •<br />

Power at a low price<br />

Hi0 have announced a special<br />

low price edition of their Power<br />

Station, the all in one solution for<br />

adding peripherals to your <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Al200 without actually ripping its<br />

guts out and sticking the motherboard<br />

into a tower system. This<br />

version of the Power Station<br />

comes complete with an 8speed<br />

SCSI CD-ROM drive, 200<br />

watt power supply with plenty of<br />

HD points and a HISoft Surf<br />

Squirrel] as standard, giving fast<br />

serial as well as SCSI II capability.<br />

The price? E329.95. Various<br />

options are also available. HiCi<br />

are on 01525 211327.<br />

for Delfina<br />

results. It's the perfect companion<br />

for De'fine, reviewed on page<br />

50 of this issue, AudioLab's<br />

effects processing can now be<br />

carried out much faster and with<br />

higher bandwidth with De!fine's<br />

24 bit DSP chip, while 16-bit<br />

input and output should ensure<br />

the quality of the end results.<br />

We'll take a closer look at the<br />

Delfina/AudioLab combination<br />

very soon. AudioLab 16 is available<br />

from Maurizio Ciccione,<br />

Neghelli 9, Alessi° (SV) 17021,<br />

linked to the <strong>Amiga</strong> in some<br />

way. The expensive option<br />

is to use a PC notebook and<br />

link it to the <strong>Amiga</strong> to share<br />

the data. A better option<br />

that's both a hell of a lot cheaper<br />

and a lot smaller than even a<br />

notebook comes in the form of<br />

the British developed Psion<br />

palmtop computer,<br />

Inexpensive<br />

It might seem odd that we'd<br />

be covering another computer<br />

platform in <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> but<br />

in this case the Psion can be<br />

a very useful thing when<br />

coupled with the <strong>Amiga</strong>. The<br />

tiny Psion3, 3a and 3c and Siena models<br />

are also relatively inexpensive and like<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> have multitasking operating<br />

system built-in.<br />

This palmtop description isn't an exaggeration<br />

either, these units fit into a pocket<br />

and run for many hours off a set of two<br />

AA batteries. Often called 'organisers'<br />

which sadly understates the worth of<br />

these machines, the Psions<br />

have built-in networking<br />

capability and a serial<br />

port. Couple this with<br />

the PC serial cable and<br />

some superb shareware<br />

software on the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> and we<br />

have more<br />

than just a<br />

tenuous link, the PSiOrt can be made a part<br />

of your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

Psions have some built in software<br />

such as a spreadsheet/ database, word<br />

processor, spell checker/ thesaurus,<br />

agenda/ organiser, alarm clock, world<br />

time, calculator and even a nice little<br />

Patience card game. And it's got a built in<br />

sampler too. These packages aren't limit-<br />

The Psion Palmtop range<br />

Psion recently announced two new palmtops in their<br />

range which should be available by the time you read<br />

this. The Psion 3c is a slightly enhanced 3a model<br />

with faster communications (57600 baud versus<br />

19200) and infra-red capability. The infra-red function<br />

allows 3cs and Sienas to 'beam' data between<br />

each other. At the time of writing, Psion were continuing<br />

with the policy of shipping the cable only with<br />

the expensive link software. Psion suppliers Clove<br />

may be able to advice on a cheaper solution that<br />

doesn't involve the expense of the PC software. The<br />

3a's cable has a line driver making it more expensive.<br />

The Siena is the really new baby, however. This cut<br />

down 3a is considerably cheaper and smaller. The<br />

screen is half the size of the 3a — the other half of<br />

the lid is occupied by a numeric keypad. The main<br />

keyboard itself is smaller too. It still has the basic<br />

suite of powerful software and facilities though,<br />

despite its reduced price and the fact that it looks<br />

like a more traditional 'organiser'. Unfortunately<br />

because of the reduced screen size, it's very likely<br />

that much of the existing Psion shareware software<br />

won't work. While this isn't as impressive as the big- L_<br />

ger models (not that any of them could be described<br />

as 'big') it does offer an even better value option for<br />

those who lust want the word processor and organiser<br />

features. It's a shame it doesn't have the brilliant<br />

3a/c spell checker though.<br />

Unlike the 3a, the Siena doesn't have any slots for<br />

static RAM and flash RAM cards. These would normally be used as drives<br />

to store data and such forth but since the intention is to connect the<br />

machine to your <strong>Amiga</strong>, storage and the lack of the card slots isn't a serious<br />

problem. There is an add-on unit which adds an external slot if this<br />

capability is necessary. It's likely that commercial software which will<br />

work on the Siena in the future will be provided on PC MS-DOS floppy<br />

disks where as for the 3a, special ROM cards were used. Even with no<br />

2Mb version, the Siena packs a punch in an even smaller package.<br />

ed to use only on the Psion, the data created<br />

by them can be accessed on the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

Especially useful in the case of the<br />

word processor.<br />

Psion shareware<br />

Psion software isn't limited to the<br />

standard provided packages, it<br />

also has its own shareware<br />

scene which means you can<br />

obtain software for the Psion<br />

(usually off the Internet and<br />

load it on via the serial cable.<br />

I've got quite a bit of software<br />

loaded onto my 2Mb Psion<br />

including a map/guide to<br />

London, PsionMan MCP clone,<br />

terminal package. 3D tank<br />

game, Boulderdash clone, off<br />

tine Web browser, sample<br />

editor and more.<br />

Given that the Psion can do<br />

all of that and on the move,<br />

how do we use it with the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>? Well you need a<br />

package called <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP.<br />

This is a full networking<br />

package for the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

which works rather like<br />

Pamet. With Parnet you<br />

reference a remote<br />

device by prefixing is<br />

name with NET:. To look<br />

r<br />

-<br />

A<br />

kriena<br />

in RAM: on the other machine you examine<br />

NET:RAM/ instead. <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP is exactly<br />

the same except the device is NCP:.<br />

The filesystem on the Psion is based<br />

on MS-DOS which means it's limited to<br />

8.3 filenames. Its drives also look like<br />

MS-DOS with single letter designations.<br />

A. and B: are the RAM/ROM card slots<br />

(yes the Psion has two), while M: is the<br />

internal memory, like a RAM: drive in the<br />

Psion's battery backed internal memory_<br />

this is where all le applications and data<br />

are stored that aren't present in its ROM.<br />

Up and running<br />

Installing <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP is quite easy via the<br />

installer script provided but there is a file<br />

• I<br />

— •<br />

e File menu<br />

called NCPconfig which will<br />

need to be configured by<br />

hand. Type the following lines<br />

into the <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS shell;<br />

SetENV NCP.config<br />

"DEVICE.serial.device<br />

UNIT-0 BAUD•19200"<br />

then;<br />

Copy ENV:NCP.config ENVARC:<br />

Change the number after BAUD to<br />

9600 if you have a Psion 3 and not a 3a,<br />

3c or Siena. All you need to do now is<br />

plug in the cable to the <strong>Amiga</strong> and the<br />

Psion and run the software. You run it by<br />

clicking on <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP-FileServer or<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>NCP-FileSystem. Use the first to<br />

allow the Psion to access your <strong>Amiga</strong> and<br />

the second to access the Psion from your<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>. Note that the link cable has nice<br />

25 and 9 pin connectors on the end.<br />

superb for the Surf Squirrel. Plug it in to<br />

the Surf Squirrel and alter the DEVICE to<br />

squirrel serial.device.<br />

Don't feel tempted to change the baud<br />

rate to higher than 19200 unless you're<br />

the lucky owner of Psion's latest '3t' or<br />

'Siena' which can handle up<br />

to 57600 baud. Once the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> side is sorted out,<br />

you'll have to select Remote<br />

Link from the Psion's<br />

'Special' menu. Toggle the<br />

remote link to On and<br />

change the baud rate to the<br />

maximum allowed which<br />

should match the value in<br />

NCPconfig. A warning with<br />

the link cable and the 3/3a,<br />

the Psion powers the line driver (the box<br />

in the middle of the cable) and so battery<br />

life is reduced when in use.<br />

<strong>Is</strong> all in order?<br />

To test it's all working, get a directory of<br />

NCP: as there should be an icon called<br />

Psion on your Workbench, You can also<br />

use the Shell or a directory utility such as<br />

Directory Opus. In the NCP: drive you<br />

should see all the Psion's drives listed.<br />

Enter the M/ drawer and you see the<br />

directories in the Psion's main backup<br />

memory, You can copy files to and from<br />

your <strong>Amiga</strong> and Psion with ease. This is<br />

Open As for other typhcations, you can use it to open snodiu<br />

in fact how you install Psion software<br />

obtained on disk or from this month's<br />

massive archive of Psion software on the<br />

covermounted CD.<br />

Now to test the Psion side of<br />

it, enter the Word application.<br />

Type some text and then<br />

choose Save As from the<br />

menu. Cursor down in the file<br />

requester to Disk. Cursor<br />

right through this until REM::<br />

appears. You'll be able to<br />

move through your <strong>Amiga</strong> drives<br />

like this. Once the drive<br />

is chosen cursor down to the<br />

filetype and change it to text, fill in a file<br />

name and save. Bang, the ASCII file will<br />

appear on your <strong>Amiga</strong> on the chosen<br />

drive. Nifty Or what?<br />

Psion <strong>Amiga</strong> Shell<br />

There's another trick which can be performed<br />

with the Psion and a link cable.<br />

When the remote link is enabled on the<br />

Psion, choose install with Psiond again,<br />

Change the drive to C: and install the<br />

comms application a little secret terminal<br />

package hidden away on a ROM drive,<br />

Turn the remote link off. Set your <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />

serial prefs to 19200, RTS/CTS etc. Run<br />

the comms application and also set it up<br />

for 19200 baud, RIS/D-TS and leave all the<br />

other handshaking options off.<br />

Now on the <strong>Amiga</strong>, make sure you<br />

have AUX: mounted. There may be a<br />

mountfile of this name in<br />

Devs:Storage/Dosdrivers. Mount this by<br />

using Mount followed by the<br />

full path to the AUX mountfile.<br />

Next, type Newshell<br />

AUX: and miraculously you<br />

should have an <strong>Amiga</strong>Shell<br />

open on the Psion in the<br />

Comms package. You can do<br />

anything on this shell that<br />

you can do on a shell run-<br />

A practical application of this would be<br />

to have a modem connected to the<br />

the Psion and its modem accessory to<br />

dial in to your <strong>Amiga</strong> and control it<br />

remotely via a Shell. Psion modems<br />

also interface to cellular phones for the<br />

ultimate in portable communications. At<br />

the moment the Psion has no TCP/IP<br />

this is apparently coming. There's already<br />

We've included virtually all of the Psion's freely redistributable software<br />

base on this month's covermounted CD. In fact it's all of Frontiernet's<br />

Psion support Internet FTP site. You'll find this all in the Magazine/Psion<br />

directory. You'll need to access it via the CLI or a directory utility and all<br />

of the archives will be in LZX archive format (repacked from the original<br />

zips). For this reason there's an UnLZX program in the root of this directory.<br />

Simply CD to where you'd like to extract the archive to and then<br />

enter UnZip . There's almost always installation<br />

instructions but generally this will require you moving files into<br />

NCP:M/APP and then installing with the Psion-I key combination. This<br />

collection should keep your <strong>Amiga</strong>/Psion combination happy for a very<br />

long time.

One day we may see the rebirth of the <strong>Amiga</strong> with a PowerPC<br />

processor and other new features to enable it to compete again<br />

with today's systems. Sadly though, more than two years since<br />

<strong>Commodore</strong>'s demise, very little of substance has happened. We've<br />

seen prototypes and promises, but that's about it...<br />

Perhaps some can wait for the final outcome, but if you need more<br />

performance, without paying the earth - and you need it today -<br />

there's one real alternative to consider now...<br />

Reach for the<br />

<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />

talks to Teaml 7's<br />

Martyn Brown, a man<br />

renowned for superb<br />

game production<br />

and copious amounts<br />

of beer consumption.<br />

Name: Martyn<br />

James Brown<br />

Age: 29<br />

Born: Wakefield,<br />

West Yorkshire<br />

Occupation: Director of<br />

Development for<br />

Team17 Software<br />

Biggest Success: Alien<br />

Breed series and Worms<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: When did you first become involved<br />

in the games industry?<br />

MB: "While I was at Tec in 1985 myself<br />

and a friend wrote a Spectrum game called<br />

Henry's Hoard. I was 17 but had been<br />

involved with computers and video games<br />

since I was about seven or eight. We<br />

formed Alternative Software which is still<br />

going today although I've had nothing to do<br />

with it since the original game."<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: And your first <strong>Amiga</strong> experience?<br />

MB: "As soon as I saw an A1000 in 1985, it<br />

was a must-have, As a penniless student,<br />

couldn't afford an <strong>Amiga</strong> until 1987 when I<br />

got an A500. The bug kicked in then - it<br />

was real whizz-bang stuff then,"<br />

"Technical feats are cool<br />

but I've had lots of good<br />

looking, expensive beers<br />

that tasted bad."<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: Last month, Jon Hare said the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> is the best thing that's ever happened<br />

to the industry. What do you think?<br />

MB: "The <strong>Amiga</strong> played a massive role in<br />

the industry to deliver near arcade quality<br />

games with good sounds and visuals. The<br />

back-bedroom coding and demo culture<br />

gave it a buzz and it was the machine that<br />

everyone could get access to. An affordable<br />

development system that can deliver<br />

quality ideas is exceptionally important."<br />

A Charactet stumpiere add utter Nil made Worms into a hit<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: Which games made the <strong>Amiga</strong> the<br />

great games machine it was?<br />

MB: "Defender Of The Crown, Shadow Of<br />

The Beast, Speedball, Kick Off, Pinball<br />

Dreams, Sensible Soccer and Worms. The<br />

early ones for showing the leap up from<br />

other systems, the latter ones for visuals<br />

and sheer playability "<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: Andreas Tadic and Rico Holmes<br />

(Alien Breed, Alien Breed 2, SupeHrog)<br />

played an important role in launching<br />

Team17 into the industry. Yet we saw<br />

little from them after these titles why?<br />

MB: "Sadly, the next project after AB2,<br />

King Of Thieves, didn't work out - there<br />

was too much complacency. They'd had a<br />

lot of success the previous two years and<br />

human nature does make you step down a<br />

gear when life gets a little easier, even<br />

though they are both still very capable.'<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: AB302 appears to be aimed at high<br />

spec <strong>Amiga</strong>s only. This is surely a showpiece<br />

rather than a commercial venture?<br />

MB: 'AB3D worked really well and, in<br />

terms of gameplay, is as good as it gets on<br />

a standard machine. AB3D2 was never rear<br />

ly a commercial venture because we knew<br />

the market was shrinking but we had the<br />

opportunity to 'go out with a bang'. We<br />

tried to listen to everyone and what they<br />

wanted - the upshot was a 4Mb, 030 minimum<br />

3D engine. We tried to deliver that<br />

and a good game, too. But I would rather<br />

the company be remembered for good<br />

A A33D2 gave the "empire what they wanted: a 41All 030 englem<br />

games rather than technological feats<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: And Worms, of course. What's the<br />

formula to its success?<br />

MB: "Its popularity was based on complete<br />

and utter multi-playing fun. It also had<br />

character and a charming atmosphere. I<br />

had a lot of belief in the fact that Worms<br />

would make it big time. It helps enormously<br />

if you have energy and conviction in all that<br />

you do. The gameplay really shone out -<br />

and people looked at the game for once<br />

rather than fancy packaging. Technical feats<br />

are cool but I've had lots of good looking,<br />

expensive beers that tasted bad."<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: You've always had a great relationship<br />

with <strong>Amiga</strong> users, taking time to<br />

answer Emails and talk to press. Are you<br />

keen to keep Team17 friendly and as<br />

non-corporate as possible?<br />

MB: "I h&e benefited enormously from<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> scene. I was on the 'other side'<br />

for a number of years and a keen enthusiast.<br />

I know what it's like to ogle the 'development<br />

dream'. I've been fortunate enough<br />

to get myself involved so I always take time<br />

to talk to the people who put me and the<br />

company where we are today I've always<br />

tried to steer Team17 towards being laid<br />

back and approachable.'<br />

<strong>CU</strong>: How important has the <strong>Amiga</strong> been<br />

to Team17 Software's success?<br />

MB: "Without the <strong>Amiga</strong>, there wouldn't<br />

be a Team17. Simple as that." II<br />

HEE' sang the little<br />

laughing gnome (just<br />

spiked to death). Getting spiked<br />

surely wasn't in the lyrics of<br />

everyone favourite old time tune<br />

now was it? No but a bit of poetic<br />

license is allowed when we're<br />

referring to OTIvits latest platform<br />

game, Gnomes.<br />

Spanning about 50 levels your<br />

job is to lead your little men to<br />

safety making sure that they<br />

don't get spiked. drop to their<br />

certain death or meet a myriad of<br />

other grisly fates.<br />

OTIVI promise lovely graphics<br />

and lots of nice tunes to go<br />

along with the cheery chappies<br />

as they amble along trying to<br />

avoid that great big garden<br />

centre in the sky.<br />

At this point<br />

Gnomes sounds very<br />

similar to Bograts<br />

FULL COLOUR PRINTOUT with every information Pock Who else does this/<br />

from Vulcan (previewed<br />

last month)<br />

only the stars of this<br />

game are rather more<br />

attractive. However,<br />

there is a major difference<br />

in that Gnomes<br />

will run on both PC<br />

and <strong>Amiga</strong>. The <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

side was handled by<br />

Funrise Entertainment<br />

in Germany while the<br />

PC side was developed<br />

by CyberArts, Finland. And<br />

more improved graphics and<br />

sound effects are<br />

promised for some<br />

of the more<br />

powerful machines.<br />

As a result of this<br />

dual format cooperation,<br />

OTM have<br />

designed an installer<br />

for Gnomes so<br />

that the game will<br />

recognise which make<br />

of <strong>Amiga</strong> it is running on and<br />

boot up the relevant version,<br />

which is good news for us all.<br />

Cool or what? You'll agree if you<br />

take a look at the screenshots<br />

here that it is looking good so far.<br />

Gnomes will run on all 1Mb<br />

machines including OCS, ECS<br />

and AGA machines and should<br />

retail for around E29.95. We<br />

should have a full review for you<br />

next month. •<br />

-pits not worth playing. I<br />

that they are value for money.<br />

So I am looking forward to<br />

Vulcan's next venture in the<br />

they are one<br />

of the few<br />

who are actually<br />

For their<br />

Vulcan<br />

Software have taken a turn<br />

away from the path of puzzle<br />

and adventure games<br />

and this time have aimed<br />

for the skies. JETPilot is a<br />

PREVIEW<br />

The Chaos<br />

Engine 2<br />

• DR November • Developer: The Bit map Brothers t 0111 391 4300<br />

Almost there --- we take an in-depth<br />

pre-production look at what could<br />

be the best two player game ever.<br />

ters and phone calls<br />

concerning the<br />

0 eve Bitmaps had latest so many <strong>Amiga</strong> let-<br />

creation and when and if it would<br />

ever be ready that we persuaded<br />

the boys from Wapping to give us<br />

an exclusive sneak preview of the<br />

game, now in its final stages of<br />

testing. When we originally interviewed<br />

the Bitmap Brothers about<br />

this one: their last <strong>Amiga</strong> creation<br />

it was planned for release before<br />

the Summer, but a series of problems<br />

with their big PC product,<br />

Z, has delayed<br />

it and there<br />

are<br />

only so many brothers to go<br />

around. In fact the game was first<br />

scheduled for release at Easter<br />

1995, but you never know these<br />

days do you?<br />

To recap on the storyline,<br />

Chaos Engine 2 is set in four different<br />

worlds where the four main<br />

protagonists are acting under<br />

orders of the Baron who is trying<br />

to reassemble the Chaos Engine.<br />

Each of the four worlds holds a<br />

set of components for<br />

the machine and the<br />

levels are built<br />

around retrieving<br />

these. The four<br />

worlds are:<br />

future, medieval.<br />

the er being the<br />

a Ai z n tand from Chaos the -<br />

original. n Each world has<br />

four levels, some of<br />

which are divided up into<br />

smaller 'zones with<br />

rooms and mazes to<br />

conquer. As the<br />

game progresses<br />

each map may have<br />

A Fed meld has its end oh level hese. Like the enemies associated with each they're either pretty dumb<br />

mind laud bevel numbingly smart. lrbib is the last Pinging green knight learn the mediaeval world<br />

to be traversed more than once to<br />

get a result and although the<br />

game cycles through the worlds<br />

in the above order, the gameplay<br />

in the levels is non-linear, so you<br />

can play through things in a different<br />

order at different times.<br />

Future WetimrId<br />

he first world you encounter is future world. This is charcterised<br />

by robotic enemies, aliens, computer screens and<br />

ircuit boards. The latter must be collected to please the<br />

aron, who needs them to construct his Chaos Engine all<br />

over again. This is<br />

the easiest world<br />

The latter two are combat<br />

orientated characters and will try<br />

their best to mow you down at<br />

every possible moment.<br />

Intelligence<br />

This is the key difference between<br />

Chaos 1 and 2. In the first game<br />

you selected another character to<br />

help you out, here they are in<br />

competition with you. In the one<br />

player game the computer character's<br />

artificial intelligence gets better<br />

as the game continues and<br />

their experience increases. On the<br />

future level your task is to collect<br />

circuit boards for the baron and<br />

find keys to get you Out at the<br />

end of the level. But the computer<br />

character has the same aim, It will<br />

collect its own objects and then<br />

chase you around to get yours.<br />

It's frustrating to get to the end of<br />

the level and, just as you are<br />

about to use the key to activate<br />

the exit door, the bloomin'<br />

Mercenary shoots you, making<br />

you drop the key, then picks it up<br />

and steals through the door ahead<br />

of you.<br />

The score is totted up on the<br />

Baron's totometer according to<br />

the amount of enemies you've<br />

axed (including the other player)<br />

the amount of objects you pick up<br />

and whether you get out the exit<br />

first. This latter point is important.<br />

You might be behind in terms of<br />

score but if, like the Mercenary in<br />

the example above, you can catch<br />

your opponent and clobber him<br />

you could sneak a win.<br />

As far as the artificial intelligence<br />

is concerned I can confirm<br />

from a half day's play that it is<br />

indeed efficient. I must admit to a<br />

certain amount of scepticism<br />

when the complexity of the system<br />

was originally explained to<br />

me, but on later levels these guys<br />

get very smart, dodging bullets<br />

the way &human player might<br />

and wreaking havoc on your player<br />

testament to this was when the<br />

game was being demonstrated at<br />

ECTS one punter demanded to<br />

know where the second (human)<br />

player was, thinking it was a network<br />

game.<br />

Two player<br />

It's not a network game, but<br />

adopting a standard, horizontally<br />

split screen, two players can play<br />

effectively. There is a single<br />

screen option for playing against<br />

the computer if you so wish. It is<br />

in two player mode that Chaos<br />

engine shines most. According to<br />

Simon 'Duck' Knight of the<br />

Bitmaps: "you might not believe<br />

this, but we had Super Mario Kart<br />

in mind when we devised the<br />

two-player game". "The intention<br />

The Bitmaps are obviously keen historians as they've<br />

adapted Aztek mythology to their own ends in creating this<br />

level. Its enemies include jaguars (large cats, not cars) and<br />

the scenery is also against you yes you know the saying<br />

"the walls have ears"? Welt, they've got laser guns in Aztek<br />

Chaos World<br />

The final world is filled with mysterious hidden rooms and<br />

creatures and scenery that can prove lethal. It is heavily<br />

overgrown with mutant forms, due to the Chaos Engine's<br />

influence. Here you must pick up batteries to complete the<br />

Baron's shopping list. Some enemies, like the robotic<br />

hands, will be<br />

familiar to<br />

fans of<br />

the original<br />

Chaos Engine.<br />

very litde advice and the punks are<br />

more cempki.<br />

Mink<br />

r.•<br />

challenge game, as opposed to<br />

simply a two-player version of the<br />

full game. In it you can select<br />

from one to four levels to<br />

play on each world and<br />

then enter into one<br />

on one combat to<br />

achieve the<br />

highest score.<br />

Another good<br />

reason for this<br />

method is that<br />

you can't select a<br />

human player for<br />

the full game and<br />

then cheat by playing it<br />

through without any (difficult)<br />

computer competition.<br />

In many ways the two player<br />

mode is like a 2D version of the<br />

'death match modes in games<br />

like Breed 3D, with added competitive<br />

incentive to reach the<br />

end first.<br />

Sounds good<br />

Another advantage of sitting<br />

down to play and watch the<br />

game being played for an<br />

afternoon was a chance<br />

to check out the<br />

impressive Richard<br />

Joseph sound effects<br />

and music. Through a<br />

decent sound system the ,<br />

add a major amount of<br />

atmosphere. Each level its t<br />

own theme tune, so there's<br />

plenty of variety.<br />

The Chaos Engine 2 is no<br />

scheduled for release at the<br />

beginning of November, and the<br />

Bitmaps are definitely working<br />

full steam ahead on it. Don't<br />

take 1;beir word for it: I<br />

sneaked around the office<br />

and sure enough there was<br />

an <strong>Amiga</strong> on everybody's<br />

desk and Chaos Engine<br />

2 was on them. The AGA<br />

version I looked at was<br />

fully playable and almost<br />

reviewable, but there<br />

were a couple of tweaks<br />

left which means it's still a<br />

couple of weeks away lrorr<br />

being signed, sealed anclgin<br />

ished. Due to our policy aitonly,„<br />

reviewing finished games youPIII.<br />

will get the whole lowdown next<br />

month (other magazines who<br />

4<br />

reviewed the game three months<br />

ago take note!). The A500 version<br />

(yes, there is one) will be delayed<br />

longer, but is also due for<br />

release in November. •<br />

Player Manager 2<br />

Price: E16.99 I Publisher: Hit Squad © 0161 832 6633<br />

ack in 1995 this<br />

version of Player<br />

Manager was very well<br />

received. It had great<br />

ancestry in one of the most popular<br />

footy management sims ever<br />

and as an update it almost managed<br />

the impossible: a sequel<br />

which does its predecessor<br />

proud. Similar in style to On the<br />

Ball and Audiogenic's Super<br />

League Manager, you can<br />

participate in the games you've<br />

planned using the Kick Off 3<br />

game engine included.<br />

,<br />

You start off in the second division<br />

rather than the third, which<br />

makes getting used to the routine<br />

easier. So many games expect<br />

you to manage upwards from the<br />

third division, which can often be<br />

difficult and off-putting. PM2 is<br />

more accessible in this way.<br />

There are 16 teams from each of<br />

the four divisions included and<br />

you must create a team capable<br />

of winning promotion to the<br />

Premier League as well as joining<br />

in the fun in Europe, Competition<br />

is provided by three other managers<br />

who can be<br />

As usual your tasks wili<br />

include training, dealing on the<br />

transfer market, dealing with<br />

sponsors and devising tactics<br />

(PM2 has a great tactics editor).<br />

Added realism is provided by the<br />

appearance of Alan Hansen, but<br />

as in real life, he can be a pain in<br />

the neck at times_<br />

The main management menu<br />

is represented by a side cutaway<br />

of the clubhouse building which<br />

allows you to access the various<br />

areas essential to the smooth running<br />

of the club. Inevitably much<br />

action (if that is the right word)<br />

takes place in the manager's<br />

office where transfer deals and<br />

player purchasing takes place.<br />

Unfortunately PM2 is not the<br />

most informative game in this<br />

area and it can sometimes be<br />

confusing just how much money<br />

you're spending on players.<br />

After the highlights of the management<br />

section actually playing<br />

the game in the KO engine is a bit<br />

of a disappointment. Its not the<br />

tpc,t arcade footy game by any<br />

means. But at least using the<br />

advanced tactical editor in the<br />

management section you can<br />

invent those wild plays you sometimes<br />

wish your favourite real life<br />

team would adopt.<br />

This is one to watch out for.<br />

Anco subsequently produced an<br />

AGA version with allegedly<br />

improved graphics. They almost<br />

ruined it with superficial cosmetic<br />

stunts. This version is much more<br />

worthwhile, arid now cheaper too.<br />

It falls in the middle between the<br />

two pillars of footy games:<br />

Sensible World Of Soccer and<br />

Premier Manager 3.<br />

Less fun but more management<br />

ye,<br />

•-<br />

I've been<br />

searching<br />

through my<br />

mailbag<br />

for some things<br />

to tempt you<br />

with. Here<br />

are the tastier<br />

ones. Enjoy.<br />

The Secret of<br />

Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land<br />

I can't open the sealed trunks in<br />

the hold on the ship to Monkey<br />

<strong>Is</strong>land. I used the rope as a fuse<br />

on the cannon and used the gunpowder<br />

in the nozzle but nothing<br />

happened. I know that I can use<br />

oleo pot from the kitchen as a hel-<br />

A. so I can be fired off this ship<br />

:into another one, but when does<br />

another ship pass by?<br />

Thomas Rutherford, Kirkcaldy.<br />

The reason you can't open the sealed<br />

trunks is because they are sealed!<br />

And the reason you can't blast your- -<br />

self off one ship onto another is<br />

because it's Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land that you<br />

want to be blasted onto. Here is the<br />

complete sequence to get off the ship,<br />

Get the Jolly Roger flag from the<br />

mast. Go down into the hold, gel the<br />

rope, open the chest and then take<br />

the wine. Get the gunpowder then go<br />

to the galley and get the pot. Open<br />

the cupboard and get the cereal.<br />

Open the cereal and take the prize.<br />

Go to your cabin and get the ink,<br />

then use your prize (which is a key)<br />

to open the cupboard. Inside is a<br />

recipe and cinnamon sticks. Go to the<br />

galley and use the cinnamon sticks,<br />

the breath mints, the Jolly Roger, the<br />

ink, the fine wine, the rubber chicken,<br />

the gunpowder and the cereal on<br />

the cooking pot. Things will turn<br />

ty for a moment, then you can use<br />

Adventure<br />

Helpline<br />

the business card which you got from<br />

Stan on the fire. Pick up more gunpowder<br />

then return to the upper deck.<br />

Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land will now be in sight<br />

and you can fix up the cannon to<br />

blast yourself off the ship.<br />

Simon the<br />

Sorcerer<br />

How do you get on top of the<br />

Dragon's Cave?<br />

Colin Lowery, Dublin.<br />

Very quietly I would think, because<br />

you don't want to wake him. Before<br />

you go climbing anywhere use the<br />

cold remedy on him to make sure he<br />

is fast asleep. You can pick up this<br />

handy medicine from the Druid's<br />

house. Once the dragon is dozing,<br />

grab the fire extinguisher and leave.<br />

Outside the care you can combine<br />

the rope from the Blacksmith's Forge<br />

with the hook from the Mine, Now<br />

use the hook on the boulder at the top<br />

of cave entrance to climb up.<br />

Operation<br />

Stealth<br />

My girlfriend and I have been<br />

thrown overboard with rocks tied<br />

to out feet. How do I escape?<br />

R. Eates, Sheffield<br />

That's typical! You want to know how<br />

'you' can escape. What about the<br />

poor girl? Well the answer depends<br />

on how confident you are about<br />

yourself. I mean, would you feel a<br />

sissy wearing a bracelet? If you are<br />

worried about it, just remember that<br />

you are supposed to be an incredibly<br />

sexy secret agent and no one will<br />

think anything of it.<br />

Provided that when you changed<br />

your dollars into the local currency<br />

you remembered to do the action<br />

twice, you should have enough<br />

money to buy a bracelet from the guy<br />

on the beach. Wear the bracelet, then<br />

Just before you are chucked overboard<br />

you must 'Operate' the<br />

bracelet. Once you are in the water,<br />

wait until you almost reach the ocean<br />

bed, then 'Operate* the bracelet<br />

again to free yourself. Swim towards<br />

the girl and 'Operate Girt' to free<br />

her. Whether you're really sexy or<br />

not, somehow I don't think she'll be<br />

in a hurry to go out with you again.<br />

Future Wars<br />

To try and escape from the prison<br />

I used the key to remove the grille<br />

but I don't know what to do next.<br />

In my inventory I have: a lance,<br />

newspaper, blowtorch and documents.<br />

Am I missing anything?<br />

Mark Cosgrove, Neath.<br />

Yes. This part of the game always<br />

stumps players, because the answer is<br />

realty unfair. What you are missing is<br />

a gas grenade which is nearly impossible<br />

to find. Do you remember when<br />

you rescued the fair damsel from the<br />

glass dome she was imprisoned in?<br />

The grenade is to the right of the<br />

glass cylinder. Once you have U. you<br />

can put the grenade through the<br />

grille and then cover the hatch with<br />

the newspaper to prevent the gas<br />

seeping back into your cell.<br />

Police Quest III<br />

I have recently phoned the Sierra<br />

automatic helpline for help with<br />

Police Quest III, Day 4. It said that<br />

I had to get a note (from my message<br />

basket) to go to court, but I<br />

don't receive such a note, instead<br />

I have to go straight to the murder<br />

scene. It also said that I have to<br />

get a tracking device from the<br />

technician AND it said that I have<br />

to see Marie at the end of the day,<br />

but the game takes me straight<br />

home after Morales has made a<br />

phone call.<br />

<strong>Is</strong> there someone that I need to<br />

talk to. or something I need to do<br />

in one of the earlier days?<br />

Adam Noon, Thorngumbald.<br />

I have double checked the solution<br />

and Sierra are correct. As most guys<br />

don't know what day of the week it is,<br />

shall we double check with you? Day<br />

GAME TIPS<br />

Iwo began with the boss ringing you<br />

at home. Day<br />

, home, three then going to work in the<br />

bHomicide e g Office. You pick up a<br />

amemo n from your basket which has<br />

w<br />

the address<br />

i<br />

325 South Second Street<br />

ton it. h You ended the day at Oak Tree<br />

y<br />

Mall and then you went back to the<br />

station, then home.<br />

o<br />

Day four begins at home, then<br />

u<br />

you leave the house and go to the sta-<br />

a<br />

tion. Go to the Homicide Office and<br />

t<br />

there is a note on your desk, it is a<br />

court summons. Take the note, then<br />

go to the third floor where you can<br />

pick up a tracking device from the<br />

Head Technician. You'll note that my<br />

solution says that the note is on the<br />

desk and not in your message tray. I<br />

can't recall if specified the desk<br />

deliberately, or if meant the message<br />

tray, but take it from me, that<br />

message is somewhere on that desk.<br />

Monkey <strong>Is</strong>land II<br />

How do I get the monkey from<br />

the bar? I've tried offering the<br />

monkey my banana, but the barkeeper<br />

tells me to get lost.<br />

David Ellams, Borehamwood.<br />

What a lousy technique for picking up<br />

people in bars. It's easy really. You<br />

simply attach your banana to the<br />

metronome and as it ticks from side to<br />

side the monkey will watch it until it<br />

becomes hypnotised. You'll now be<br />

able to pick it up and take it home<br />

with you. •<br />

GAME TIPS<br />

FIRE AND ICE<br />

Graftgold<br />

Matthew Belshaw from Lowestoft<br />

has discovered a hidden goody in<br />

this excellent Graftgold classic.<br />

On Green Run (level 2) go to the<br />

top of the slope and use a<br />

snowflake (ie down and fire). This<br />

will reveal a staircase made up<br />

from blocks marked with a question<br />

mark. Climb this and, at the<br />

top, jump straight up to get<br />

warped to a further stage. Try this<br />

in other levels as somehow (don't<br />

ask me how folks!) you'll find<br />

yourself with infinite lives! What<br />

an excellent cheat! Ta mate.<br />

MORTAL<br />

KOMBAT 2<br />

Acclaim<br />

Marcelino Salcedo of The<br />

Netherlands (gosh we go all over<br />

the place, don't we?) has a nifty<br />

little code to remind us about that<br />

accesses a diagnostics screen<br />

that allows you to choose opponents,<br />

change time, and... well,<br />

tons of things really! Just go to<br />

the options menu and type the<br />

code ZEDWEB. If the cheat<br />

doesn't work first time, just keep<br />

entering ZEDINE13. Ace! • •<br />

DIGGERS CD32<br />

Millennium<br />

4h, now here's a game that wasted<br />

many a happy (if pointless)<br />

hour! Well Adam Shailer has a<br />

decent little cheat that allows you<br />

to collect tons of jewels without<br />

having to go anywhere! Dig a tunnel<br />

horizontally at least five<br />

squares across. Now dig down<br />

one square, then up diagonally<br />

until you're back on the level of<br />

your original tunnel. Now dig<br />

down the SMALLER part of the<br />

slope to remove it (you should<br />

end up with something that looks<br />

like a castle's battlements (you<br />

know, ramparts, that sort of thing)<br />

anyway you can now place a<br />

digger inside these 'trenches' and<br />

Earwig-o again! More cheats, more codes, more tips. What<br />

incredible value for money! Matt Broughton will be your driver<br />

today. HOLD TIGHT!<br />

get them to dig diagonally up<br />

in the direction of the slope.<br />

They won't actually go anywhere,<br />

but will keep digging, miraculously<br />

finding jewels regularly!<br />

Crazy, huh?<br />

FRONTIER<br />

Gametek<br />

Not really a cheat, lust some<br />

damn good advice from 'Mr Nice<br />

Guy' of Herefordshire.<br />

Try this: Start at Lave and buy<br />

a Viper Defence craft, along with<br />

a beam laser from upgrades.<br />

Also buy an automatic pilot, four<br />

homing missiles and atmospheric<br />

shielding. Now ask 0ermission<br />

for launching (and don't forget<br />

some fueU). Your objective is<br />

Zaonce, but don't go there yet.<br />

Jump to Tionisla and THEN on to<br />

Zaonce. Head for the planet<br />

Industry, go to the space station,<br />

and check Out upgrades. You'll<br />

find that you're in a pretty tasty<br />

position to progress further<br />

(you'll see what I mean when you<br />

get there!)<br />

XTREME<br />

RACING<br />

Guildhall Leisure<br />

Tobias Caplen of Hampshire<br />

would like to share with us all a<br />

handy cheat for accessing the<br />

three tracks without having to<br />

win the three levels of cup races,<br />

Type !DKR% in any of the menu<br />

screens and the screen with all<br />

A To get Co the three tracks in Xtreme Racing without having to win the three levels oh cop races type ICKFA<br />

in ern' of the menu screens<br />

three tracks on will flash (type it<br />

in again to deactivate the cheat).<br />

ALIEN BREED<br />

3D II<br />

Team 17<br />

Another cheat from Tobias<br />

comes in the form of a cheat of<br />

sorts that allows you to build up<br />

a bit of ammo supply without too<br />

much effort. When the game has<br />

first loaded, collect bath ammo<br />

boxes in the first room and then<br />

press the Esc key. Select to 'Play<br />

Game' again and repeat the<br />

process until you've clocked up<br />

enough ammo to complete the<br />

level without running too low_<br />

Handy, non?<br />

CIVILISATION<br />

MicroProse<br />

An excellent discovery by Paul<br />

Hendrikx from The Netherlands<br />

(again!) means that you can now<br />

design your own worlds using a<br />

package like DPaint V! Load<br />

into DPaint a file from the<br />

Civilisation directory called<br />

'CIVMAP.Ibm'. You'll see a map of<br />

Earth in the left corner so save<br />

this somewhere else. Now you<br />

can draw your own world using<br />

the following colour sequence<br />

.Light green = Grassland<br />

Light blue = Jungle<br />

Dark blue = Oceans<br />

Brown = Plains<br />

Purple = Mountains<br />

White = Arctic<br />

Dark green = Forest<br />

Medium blue = River<br />

Yellow = Desert<br />

Red = Hills<br />

Grey = Tundra<br />

Also: If you save your game<br />

before entering 'an advanced<br />

tribe' you can load it again if barbarians<br />

come<br />

. new city, unit, or new invention.<br />

Cool or what. •<br />

manager, or so it<br />

seems. While in theory<br />

0 veryone the more needs technically- a file<br />

minded should be happy with the<br />

Shell, with Workbench being the<br />

choice for those who want the<br />

easy option, in practice it doesn't<br />

always work like that. Quite often<br />

neither option has both the immediacy<br />

and the power to get the job<br />

done quickly and easily. A good filci<br />

manager makes light work of t:i<br />

that would otherwise require<br />

lengthy Shell commands, or be<br />

awkward or even impossible to do<br />

with the Workbench.<br />

Programs such as Climate and<br />

SID pioneered the file manager<br />

theme in the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s early days.<br />

but it wasn't long before Directory<br />

Opus appeared and promptly left<br />

them for dust. Ever since,<br />

Directory Opus has been a regular<br />

fixture on just about every serious<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> user's hard drive.<br />

All change<br />

When version 5.0 appeared in early<br />

1995 it took a major detour from<br />

the established file manager<br />

format. Previously file managers<br />

consisted of two fixed-position<br />

listers• and a bank of function buttons.<br />

Opus 5 threw the whole<br />

thing wide open with windows and<br />

button banks that could be moved,<br />

resized and configured until the<br />

cows came home, even going as<br />

far as to herald itself as a complete<br />

What's new?<br />

Here's a selection of the<br />

new features that have<br />

appeared since version 5.0.<br />

• New Icon Action mode<br />

• Built-in Frp lister mode<br />

• Borderless button banks<br />

Workbench replacement.<br />

Breaking away from its fammar<br />

format gave it freedom to<br />

introduce a range bf powerful new<br />

features but also had the side<br />

effect cif alienating some existing<br />

Opus fans, since it was no longer<br />

as simple to use in its default set<br />

up. Since then GP Software have<br />

had time to digest the reactions<br />

from its worldwide userbase and<br />

take Opus on to the next stage.<br />

Gadgets galore<br />

If you never used version 5 you<br />

could be forgiven for thinking<br />

you'd loaded up the wrong software.<br />

In contrast to version 4 and<br />

below, 5.5 starts up with a worryingly<br />

empty screen. During the<br />

installation process you are given<br />

countless configuration choices,<br />

which include the option to copy<br />

all the 'left out' drive icons from<br />

your Workbench onto the Opus<br />

screen, If you do choose to do so,<br />

you end up with a Opus screen<br />

looks and acts remarkably like<br />

Workbench ° itself. Double clicking<br />

an •icon<br />

opens a window, but<br />

unlike 1 Workbench, the window<br />

takes 0 the form of a lister containing<br />

1a<br />

sorted directory of the drive.<br />

An icon strip runs along the top<br />

each<br />

1<br />

lister. These icons are used to<br />

process<br />

1<br />

any selected files in that<br />

lister, 1 The icons include functions<br />

l<br />

almost subconsciously. While at<br />

first it might seem 3 a bit over complicated<br />

and disorganised, - before<br />

long it all starts to make sense. It<br />

takes elements of 1the<br />

Workbench,<br />

such as drive icons and the facility<br />

1<br />

to drag and drop files from here to<br />

there, alongside the button banks<br />

and listers of old.<br />

the icon strip is a MUI-style<br />

as 1an<br />

icon functions, along with a<br />

few 1 more to boot. These are dupli-<br />

new lister opens up right there,<br />

containing a list of all currently<br />

mounted drives and assigns for<br />

your selection. The ability to have<br />

more than two listers open at once<br />

introduces a complication that<br />

never occurs on a simple dual-liscated<br />

There's 1 a strange familiarity about<br />

Opus 1 5.5 that creeps up on you<br />

0<br />

case of one window acting as a<br />

source and the other as the destination.<br />

Now each lister can be<br />

defined as a source or a destination,<br />

Internet IRV Module<br />

One of the most useful new features in Opus 5.5 is the FTP<br />

module. This allows you to hook up to an FIP site via the<br />

Internet (assuming you have a TCP/IP stack up and running)<br />

and access it from a normal Opus lister. This makes light<br />

work of downloading files. You can even have a number of<br />

FTP listers open at the same time, all downloading or<br />

uploading specified files at the same time.<br />

easier v'hen it comes to simple<br />

work-a-day jobs, you'll probably<br />

find this all too much to take in.<br />

Maybe GP Software could have<br />

renamed it when it got to version<br />

5.0 to reflect the many changes<br />

and additions, Using Opus 5.5 to<br />

simply shovel a few files around<br />

is like using a combine harvester<br />

to mow the lawn.<br />

My main criticism of the program<br />

is that it's not easier to use<br />

right from the start, It would be<br />

nice if it was simpler to select<br />

one of a few basic set-ups and<br />

screen layouts before you dive<br />

into the menus and start twiddling<br />

all the knobs<br />

For those with the inclinaton<br />

to set up a throbbing mult -<br />

faceted file processing system.<br />

Opus 5.5 is a godsend. The r TP<br />

features are excellent and will<br />

probably be the most popular of<br />

the new additions. Obviously any<br />

seasoned users of version 5.0<br />

won't have the rather steep learning<br />

curve to deal with, so in that<br />

PRODUCT TEST<br />

cd6e ,t's really a matter of figuring<br />

out which of the new features<br />

to use Those with an<br />

extremely good memory will<br />

recall we rated version 5.0 at a<br />

big fat 'go buy it now' kind of<br />

95% mark.<br />

For the sake of continuity we<br />

could match that score here, but<br />

that would be the easy option. It's<br />

not perfect, it won't be to everyone's<br />

taste, but in the right hands<br />

its an incredibly powerful tool.<br />

But is it Opus?<br />

This is the big question for many<br />

Opus users. Should it ever have<br />

been developed to this degree of<br />

complexity? On the one hand you<br />

can enter commands directly into<br />

the Shell if you want 'quick and<br />

dirty' control over your files, and<br />

if you want simple file shovelling,<br />

there's Opus 4 and a handful of<br />

other similarly capable file managers<br />

available from the public<br />

domain. Sometimes it seems the<br />

effort required to set-up Opus 5.5<br />

for specific tasks could be better<br />

spent writing your own DOS<br />

scripts or jacking straight into<br />

the Shell. Re-configuring previous<br />

versions of Opus was a fairly<br />

straight forward affair, but<br />

things have a tendency to get<br />

rather complicated when you dig<br />

into the main power features of<br />

Opus 5.5.<br />

Directory Opus 5.5 is without<br />

doubt a very powerful system<br />

but it's not necessarily going to<br />

be what every Opus user wants<br />

as an upgrade. •<br />

(see box out for contact details)<br />

A new sound card has arrived with its<br />

own onboard 24-bit DSP chip. Could it<br />

be the ultimate audio upgrade?<br />

ack in the April 96<br />

issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine we reviewed<br />

the Toccata from<br />

MacroSystem, a fairly simple<br />

16-bit stereo record and replay<br />

system on a Zorro card, which<br />

we rated at 82%. Until now that's<br />

been one of the very few available<br />

options for those looking to<br />

upgrade from the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s 8-bit<br />

audio limitations.<br />

Now, from the land that<br />

brought you OctaMED (that's<br />

Finland by the way) comes a new<br />

sound card with better specs<br />

than ever.<br />

24-bit DSP<br />

Whereas Toccata could sample<br />

and replay 16-bit stereo samples,<br />

Delfina goes one better by<br />

adding a DSP chip to the equation.<br />

Delfina is to act as a realtime<br />

all it can do. Aside from the DSP<br />

functions, the AD/DA convertor<br />

can be used to sample and<br />

replay 16-bit stereo sound.<br />

On a<br />

more practical level,<br />

Dellina can be used as a 16 bit<br />

stereo output for use with<br />

OctaMED SoundStudio, the MIDI<br />

sequencer Dominator (a non-<br />

MIDI version of which comes<br />

with Delfina) and as an output for<br />

any other audio software which<br />

supports the relatively new AHI<br />

retargetable audio system.<br />

Two pairs of stereo RCA phono<br />

sockets are mounted on the back<br />

plate for line level input and Output.<br />

There's also a 1/4 inch jack<br />

socket which can be switched<br />

between line and mic level input,<br />

plus stereo mini jack socket for<br />

headphones output. An additional<br />

plate can be attached to the<br />

card which offers alternative parallel<br />

and serial ports. There's currently<br />

no driver available for the<br />

parallel port, although this is<br />

under development and should<br />

be released soon.<br />

A driver for the serial port is<br />

supplied, enabling you to use<br />

this instead of the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s slow<br />

built-in serial port, allowing faster<br />

access times from serial devices,<br />

particularly modems.<br />

Practical uses<br />

Unfortunately you can't control<br />

Delfina from two applications at<br />

once, so if you tried to run<br />

SoundStudio with Delfina as<br />

A °elfin, lisp: a 24•<br />

hit DSP. stereo Ms end<br />

outs plias a high speed<br />

serial mod parallel pot<br />

an output, then<br />

run the DelFX<br />

software too,<br />

DelFX would fail to<br />

run and display a<br />

'Cannot allocate<br />

Delfina message.<br />

However, you could<br />

run the DelFX software<br />

in conjunction<br />

with a MIDI<br />

sequencer, or even a<br />

tracker using standard <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

•samples and feed any or all of<br />

those sounds through the Delfina<br />

effects. Because the effects processing<br />

is carried out by the DSP<br />

rather than the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s CPU, this<br />

should be quite feasible even on<br />

the slowest <strong>Amiga</strong>&<br />

Using the direct to disk recording<br />

options of SoundStudio, you<br />

could also use Delfina to add<br />

effects to previously recorded<br />

loops from hard drive, which<br />

could then be used to build up a<br />

new module.<br />

This would have the advantage<br />

of allowing you to process specific<br />

parts independently, and also<br />

the resulting module would use<br />

fewer tracks, which would mean<br />

you could probably use the<br />

'smoothing' option in realtime to<br />

remove the bulk of the mixing<br />

noise (see the SoundStudio<br />

review in the September 96<br />

issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine for<br />

more details).<br />

Sampling<br />

This is the first sampler or sound<br />

card I've seen that doesn't come<br />

with some kind of sampling and<br />

sample editing software. Petsoff

---

Delfina FX<br />

The Delfina hardware comes complete with its<br />

own realtime effects software. This is a very neat<br />

little MI application that gives you access to five<br />

main types of effects, plus a noise gate and a<br />

dry/wet balance control to adjust the relative<br />

amount of the original and the affected sound.<br />

Each effect has its own collection of windows<br />

containing the relevant sliders and controls. A<br />

selection of effects settings are supplied with the<br />

software, including example set-ups for echo, chorus,<br />

distortion and flange effects. You're free to<br />

save out your own settings too, which for example<br />

could be especially handy for storing time-critical<br />

delays for use with specific projects.<br />

Although the effects work in stereo, in that<br />

both left and right channels are processed and<br />

passed to the left and right outputs, you don't get<br />

independent processing for each channel, nor is<br />

there any cross talk between the channels, so<br />

what you get is a dual monophonic output from<br />

the effects chain, which is then mixed with the<br />

true stereo sound coming from the pass-through.<br />

That means you can't use the effects to add<br />

stereo movement and ping-pong effects to either<br />

a stereo or a mono sound source, which is a little<br />

disappointing. Maybe this will be addressed in<br />

future revisions of the Den software.<br />

The effect types available are compression,<br />

distortion, delay, phaser and equaliser. The<br />

signal is passed through any or all of these in that<br />

order, with the noise gate sitting at the front of<br />

the chain. Let's take a closer look at how they<br />

al work.<br />

Noise gate. This mutes the input of the card<br />

when there's no incoming sound or when the<br />

incoming volume level is below a specified figure.<br />

s is designed to stop interference being picked<br />

coLild have put more time into<br />

developing software specifically<br />

for the card but I would imagine<br />

their main priority at this stage<br />

was actually getting the hardware<br />

into production and on sale. Even<br />

so. it seems a strange omission.<br />

4s it is, the only way to take samwith<br />

the card is by selecting<br />

as the output path on the<br />

'X software. To trim and<br />

process the sample you then<br />

need to load it into a separate 16bit<br />

sample editor that supports<br />

- na output. Its hardly the<br />

Tiplete solution for 16-bit audio<br />

is it? Presumably a proper sample<br />

editor will be made available<br />

before too long. Some hard disk<br />

recording and editing features<br />

would be good too.<br />

Aside from these omissions,<br />

the card is fairly well supported<br />

software side considering<br />

t;uch a new product. If any<br />

the uses suggested here seem to<br />

match your requirements then<br />

you're sorted<br />

Conclusion<br />

While Delfina is possible of<br />

]ucing impressive displays of<br />

audio trickery with the currently<br />

available software, I can't help<br />

feeling than it's got a lot more<br />

potential that is on actually show<br />

at the moment. With the right<br />

software it could do a lot more.<br />

How about multi-track hard disk<br />

• dial* libittatilf/S0<br />

up and passed through the effects chain during<br />

silent parts of the incoming signal.<br />

Compression. Although the documents call this<br />

effect compression it's really limitation, It prevents<br />

the 'clipping' distortion that would occur if the<br />

input was too loud. It does this by scaling down<br />

the sound wave before it's passed onto the rest of<br />

the effects. Full compression also does the opposite,<br />

scaling up quiet parts of the sound to fit the<br />

available headroom, but this is not available here.<br />

Distortion. Designed to add grit and fuzz to<br />

sounds, the distortion effect reverses the good<br />

work of compressor by amplifying the sound to<br />

clipping point. It also uses an unlinear amplifier,<br />

which is a more complex type of amplification that<br />

injects more character into the effect.<br />

Delay. This is where most of the work is done on<br />

reverb and echo effects. The time between the<br />

echoes can be altered from very slight (for<br />

Robocop speech) to very long. There's also a feedback<br />

slider which controls how much of the echo<br />

is passed back through the delay.<br />

Phaser. By merging two copies of the same<br />

sound, offset from one another at constantly varying<br />

degrees, the phase( can create a wide range<br />

of effects from subtle 'whooshing' movements to<br />

fat choruses to sub-aqua wibbles.<br />

This is the most entertaining of all the<br />

effects when you're just messing around and has<br />

seemingly endless possibilities available from<br />

its sliders.<br />

Equaliser. Featuring ten frequency bands ranging<br />

from 34Hz to 17415Hz, the graphic equaliser is a<br />

very useful addition. The sound can be given up to<br />

14dB of cut or boost in any or all of the frequency<br />

bands, It works just like a normal graphic equaliser<br />

but can be more precise than analogue versions.<br />

worth remembering what it can<br />

(not forgetting the parallel and<br />

serial ports).<br />

Priced at E400, Delfina comes<br />

in at E100 more than its nearest<br />

rival Toccata, but while Toccata<br />

has already been taken to its limits<br />

by the likes of SoundStudio,<br />

Delfina still has plenty of potential<br />

left in it thanks to the DSP<br />

As it stands the Delfina will<br />

certainly be the answer to many<br />

a musician's dream, but it's not<br />

yet the perfect answer to everyone's<br />

audio ambitions. However,<br />

with a killer application or two<br />

it could really start to shift in<br />

large numbers and break into<br />

the mainstream. We'll see<br />

what happens. •<br />

Afa Quatro<br />

• Price: £59 Developer: Alfa Data<br />

• Supplier: Golden Image UK © 0181 900 9291<br />

Looking to expand your storage options? Need a<br />

CD, more than one hard drive and your PCMCIA<br />

slot free? How about a four-way IDE interface<br />

IDE interface as standard<br />

on your Al200 or<br />

0 he A4000 beauty is that of having you can an<br />

stoke up your machine with the<br />

cheapest CD-ROM and hard drives<br />

available. Things can get a bit<br />

tricky with an Al200 when it<br />

comes to power supplies and the<br />

practicalities of actually fitting<br />

these drives but its possible and<br />

it's cheap. However, you're normally<br />

limited to just two devices running<br />

from the IDE interface, which<br />

for many situations is just not sufficient.<br />

The Alfa Quatro brushes this<br />

limitation aside, allowing the<br />

connection of up to four IDE drives<br />

from the one interface.<br />

This version of the Alfa Quatro<br />

(currently the only one available)<br />

has been designed primarily for<br />

use with the A4000, although with<br />

a little enterprise it can be used<br />

with the Al200 too, and with the<br />

A500 and A500+ if an Altapower<br />

hard drive is present. Once you've<br />

paid your E59 and opened the box<br />

you might be a little disappointed<br />

at what looks like very little for<br />

your money: three IDE cables,<br />

three IDE connectors mounted on<br />

a small piece of circuit board, an<br />

installation disk and a few<br />

yourself of how much<br />

more expensive drives.<br />

Do it yourself<br />

Reflecting the many different types<br />

of <strong>Amiga</strong> in use today and the<br />

adventurous DIY approach of<br />

many users, the Alfa Quatro system<br />

makes few assumptions<br />

about your system. This has good<br />

and bad sides. You're only supplied<br />

with and charged for the minimum<br />

parts required to do the<br />

job, the flipside of which is that in<br />

some cases you'll need to make<br />

extra purchases and modifications<br />

to fit your machine. The installation<br />

software is a fully registered version<br />

of IDE Fix, an excellent and<br />

highly configurable IDE hard drive<br />

and CD-ROM file system package.<br />

Setting it up on an A4000 is a<br />

simple matter. The shorter of the<br />

to<br />

least as a three-way interface. For<br />

some reason the Al200 doesn't<br />

seem to Ike working with four<br />

devices from the Alfa Quatro, but<br />

three get along fine together. If<br />

you intend using this with an<br />

Al200 you'll need to specify this<br />

when you order, as a 2.5 inch to<br />

3.5 inch cable is required to connect<br />

to the Al200s smaller IDE<br />

interface. The cables can be<br />

passed out through the blank<br />

expansion port at the back of the<br />

computer by the floppy drive. The<br />

next hurdle will be powering your<br />

external drives (external meaning<br />

outside the case of your <strong>Amiga</strong>) -<br />

you could use bare internal<br />

drives so long as you can power<br />

them. Golden Image can supply<br />

boxes with power supplies for<br />

your drives. In our tests with the<br />

Al200 we used externally-placed<br />

internal drives powered from a<br />

MicroniK external power supply,<br />

which now seems to be very hard<br />

to get hold of. Golden Image also<br />

offer a powered PC tower casing<br />

option for extra drives<br />

,<br />

Conclusion<br />

This is just the kind of little widget<br />

that has kept the <strong>Amiga</strong> a viable<br />

platform for many users, and it's<br />

bound to solve many people's<br />

storage and CD problems in a<br />

single hit. If you're reaching the<br />

AWeb uses the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />

datatypes to decode in-line<br />

images, similar to other <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

browsers. This means the<br />

pictures must be totally downloaded<br />

before they are decoded<br />

and displayed. It also means that<br />

an AWeb user will have to ensure<br />

hetshe is well up to date with the<br />

latest GIF and JPEG datatypes_<br />

Also AWeb takes the unusual<br />

approach of caching the raw<br />

image data after the GIFsfJPEGs<br />

have been decoded. The advantage<br />

of this is that navigating<br />

.<br />

- ,<br />

'<br />

the justification/ alignment of<br />

images and text. Support for<br />

'tables' has also been added<br />

N<br />

"<br />

according 0 the image height which is a powerful HTML feature<br />

"<br />

e-<br />

, vicith tags • which means the<br />

r :age<br />

r.<br />

doesn't need to refresh as<br />

•<br />

each image is loaded. Part of the<br />

A<br />

increasingly used on the Web.<br />

Unfortunately though there's still<br />

no proper 'frames' support<br />

W<br />

e-<br />

:laces a box frame where<br />

b ctures should be. AWeb<br />

ioes n the same. This is before the<br />

Tables support<br />

Like AWeb IBrowse supports<br />

tables though sadly not frames.<br />

pictures o are loaded so the layout<br />

is<br />

w<br />

identical to the end product<br />

• the pictures.<br />

l<br />

Trus makes for very easy<br />

'eading<br />

a<br />

with no text rewrapping<br />

in ythe<br />

middle of picture down-<br />

Tables are a nice feature of HTML<br />

which allows text to be laid out in<br />

columns boxed out in the display.<br />

It makes for superb page design<br />

and browsers which can't support<br />

tables have a serious problem as<br />

loading. s The boxes are filled in by<br />

the Opictures<br />

'progressively' as<br />

they cannot display many fancy<br />

commercial sites.<br />

they u are downloaded. If you're<br />

lucky t enough to be viewing a site<br />

Nth<br />

t<br />

special interlaces or progressively<br />

saved GIFs/JPEGs then the<br />

pictures h will actually resolve from<br />

a every<br />

low resolution progressive<br />

,ly land quickly) to a higher<br />

resolution until finally they are finished<br />

loading. However, one of<br />

the major reasons this system<br />

was invented in the first place<br />

was to avoid unnecessary screen<br />

refreshes as the display is altereo<br />

to fit the pictures. IBrowse<br />

totally misses this point and<br />

Frames support still doesn't<br />

Coming into focus<br />

refreshes the screen annoyingly One of IBrowse's great features is its<br />

anyway. After AWeb's clarity this capability to load images progressively. This<br />

Decomes tiring.<br />

means that as they download they are<br />

Instead AWeb displays links at the<br />

top of the pages you can view<br />

each individual frame separately.<br />

FTP support isn't built in either<br />

but is provided as an add-on in<br />

the package in the form of the<br />

PD FTP Mount, However, AWeb<br />

has another PD utility to save Out<br />

VVVVVV pages as text which<br />

works adequately but I'd be happier<br />

if these were built into the<br />

browser. Unfortunately, it's necessary<br />

to set up a few of the external<br />

programs for Mail-To:<br />

operation, text editing. HTML<br />

source viewing etc. as the<br />

defaults will rarely be of use.<br />

AWeb needs many of those<br />

functions included internally<br />

as standard.<br />

Nice stets<br />

The speed AWeb retrieves pages<br />

at is very good and it's adept at<br />

opening multiple connections to a<br />

web site to download in-line<br />

images in parallel, making the<br />

best use of available bandwidth.<br />

Another nice touch is a network<br />

statistics window which,<br />

exist but as with AWeb small links<br />

are made to display the contents<br />

of each of the frames in turn. The<br />

!Browse authors have informed<br />

me that frames support is indeed<br />

corning arid it would be relatively<br />

easy to implement under the MUI<br />

system. What's more, Usenet<br />

news reading would be implemented<br />

at the same time so that<br />

the separate frames could control<br />

the news reader in the same way<br />

PRODUCT TEST<br />

the best progress display I've<br />

seen on any browser — watching<br />

it keeps you happily entertained<br />

and amused during the downloading<br />

phase.<br />

The preferences aspect of<br />

AWeb is handled better than the<br />

previous versions too, with separate<br />

pages being divided into<br />

browser, program, network and<br />

ClassAct settings. The latter is the<br />

GUI system AWeb uses which<br />

can be loosely described as a<br />

poor man's MUL Unlike MUI<br />

browsers, AWeb can be told to<br />

open on its own screen very<br />

quickly from inside the settings.<br />

Options such as the on-disk<br />

cache, proxies and other technical<br />

whiz bits are also easily set up.<br />

Cache flushing is easy to reach<br />

via a menu of its own, as is<br />

Cominued overledi t<br />

,<br />

as the PC's Netscape does.<br />

IBrowse is not only a MUI<br />

application, it's an incredibly<br />

advanced MUI application and it<br />

comes as standard with MUI 3.5<br />

bundled. This version has actually<br />

been created based on collaboration<br />

between Omnipresence and<br />

MUI's author.<br />

The navigation buttons can be<br />

PRODUCT TEST<br />

images automatically to loading<br />

manually which many people prefer<br />

to enable fast navigation<br />

around the Net.<br />

AWeb has good bookmark sk_ip<br />

port which adds links from your<br />

favourite pages to a special<br />

hotlists page for fast renavigation<br />

to favourite sites. It also has a<br />

very handy option which brings up<br />

a list of most of the common Weh<br />

searchers and allows you to execute<br />

a search without bothering to<br />

go to the sites themselves.<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> friendly<br />

A major advantage of AVVeb is<br />

that since AWeb doesn't use MUI<br />

A i Brume is a great browser. HO bV EW et, it pie of<br />

Mill makes it impossible to oat on Amigos with 2Mh_<br />

even be relocated to the side of<br />

the page by simply dragging the<br />

entire button bank! This is a<br />

superb feature as screens are<br />

always wider than web pages so<br />

no vertical space is<br />

-navigation<br />

buttons. Once I had<br />

wasted<br />

made use of this feature and<br />

moved the buttons to the side of<br />

o n<br />

the screen, I wondered how I got<br />

along without it before.<br />

Email and FTP facilities are<br />

built in to !Browse. If they're set<br />

up correctly (which is quick and<br />

easy) in the lovely MUI<br />

preferences pages then they can<br />

be forgotten about from then on,<br />

it can be light on memory<br />

resources. When used with<br />

AmiTCP (Miami is an MUI<br />

application), it would allow a basic<br />

2Mb machine to get on-line without<br />

too much difficulty. However,<br />

it's going to be slow and not very<br />

colourful as greater colour depths<br />

will require more than 2Mb,<br />

Surprisingly. AWeb actually<br />

incorporates a print function that<br />

performs a graphical dump of the<br />

page currently being displayed. To<br />

my knowledge this is the only<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> browser to do this and it's<br />

a most welcome addition. There's<br />

!Browse supports e Client Side<br />

Image Maps l though sadly Only<br />

the RECT shape. Again see the<br />

Wired World s tutorial on this subject<br />

last month.<br />

e<br />

I was told the<br />

authors would w 'look into' implementing<br />

full hCSIM<br />

support soon.<br />

It also supports e AnimGIFs and<br />

again is the r only browser to do<br />

so. This facility e is another major<br />

feature which has increasing sup-<br />

.<br />

port in WWW land so that without<br />

this facility much will be<br />

missed from modern web sites.<br />

See the Wired World tutorial this<br />

month on AnimGIFs for more.<br />

There's another nice IBrowse<br />

feature in a magic menu-like<br />

even an option to turn off printing<br />

of any background images to<br />

make the text much easier to read.<br />

Unlike IBrowse, AWeb chooses<br />

to sport its documentation on disk<br />

in the form of HTML pages which<br />

can always be accessed by pressing<br />

the Help key. The quality of<br />

the documentation is superb with<br />

a main index and several crossreferenced<br />

links. I would have<br />

liked to have seen some in-line<br />

images showing the various<br />

aspects in play within the document<br />

but such as it is. there's little<br />

to fault the superb on-line help.<br />

behaviour when using the right<br />

mouse button with the mouse<br />

inside the HTML page. You could<br />

selectively load the image in (if<br />

loading of images wasn't set on<br />

automatic). It could be copied<br />

elsewhere. If it was a link, a link<br />

may be added hotlink added via<br />

Browse's superb hot-link manager.<br />

It's even possible to select the<br />

link and launch a new IBrowse<br />

window at the link while the original<br />

page stays where it is. This is<br />

truly gorgeous!<br />

Memory usage<br />

'Browse is one hell of a browser.<br />

However it's heavy dependence<br />

on MUI makes it impossible to<br />

run in 2Mb of memory. One<br />

aspect of MUI which is often<br />

overlooked by the memory conscious<br />

is that once the core<br />

libraries are loaded, they are<br />

shared by the various MUI<br />

clients. Using an Internet set-up<br />

based on MUI applications such<br />

as 'Browse, YAM, AmFTP, AmIRC<br />

and Miami would actually be<br />

more efficient than running<br />

Gadtools based programs.<br />

In operation !Browse is staggeringly<br />

fast at presenting what's<br />

happening right away and image<br />

decoding with its highly opti-<br />

The AWeb-II package comes<br />

with a variety of utilities but<br />

virtually all of them are really to<br />

add a function which really should<br />

have been included in the browser<br />

initially_ Only the HTML Heaven<br />

MVO/ helper package is notable,<br />

as this is a quality package and a<br />

welcome addition if you're looking<br />

to make your own pages. AWeb is<br />

a stable and efficient W\AAA1<br />

PO SCENE<br />

Anthony Brice packed up his<br />

troubles in his old kit bag and went<br />

off in search of what the world of<br />

public domain had to offer- Here's<br />

what he came back with.<br />

Revolution<br />

AGA demo<br />

This is an interesting demo I<br />

picked up on my travels.<br />

It's actually been written by a•<br />

few English guys which is,<br />

as far as I'm aware, quite rare<br />

these days, as most of<br />

the demo stuff seems to<br />

come from abroad.<br />

Revolution is pretty standard<br />

fare, but it's all done nicely and all of the stillscreens<br />

used as a backdrop for the vector balls and<br />

doughnut routines are pretty tasty. I recognised one of<br />

them from the movie Hackers that came and went a few<br />

months back. Also worth mentioning is the funky music<br />

track, complete with metallic voice screaming the<br />

demo's title at you when you first fire it up. It sounds a<br />

bit like the Pet Shop Boys - no bad thing - and kept me<br />

watching quite a while after the effects had finished as<br />

it played in the background.<br />

There are few better intros out there for those<br />

who really get into them, but for the casual observer,<br />

this One's<br />

definitely well<br />

worth viewing.<br />

Now this is what I<br />

call a decent disk<br />

has lots of images<br />

smaller articles.<br />

navigation around the pages is handled very intuitively<br />

via cursor keys or mouse.<br />

Defy 6, (I presume there were a previous five issues<br />

of the magazine), is an Australian 'Scene' magazine that<br />

goes a lot further than a lot of the other efforts that<br />

concentrate on purely <strong>Amiga</strong> related material and has a<br />

huge variety of articles covering other interesting material<br />

as well. For example, there are pieces on degrading<br />

your system for running poorly written demos that<br />

won't work with all <strong>Amiga</strong>s, an interesting read on IRC<br />

and information for good <strong>Amiga</strong> places as well as a<br />

reply to Aminet's controversial decision to ban the use<br />

of DMS archives.<br />

Apart from <strong>Amiga</strong>-related material, there's also<br />

some stuff on PGP, a great piece on humourous<br />

answer-phone messages and much more than I can fit<br />

into this space. I could have done without some of the<br />

more poorly written articles by the dedicated 'scene'<br />

writers, but the good stuff far outweighs the bad. This<br />

i s greatstuff<br />

indeed! It's<br />

definitely well<br />

worth taking a<br />

look at.<br />

Parakrishna<br />

party Five demo<br />

And now for something just a little bit different. For<br />

those with a little taste for the extraordinary, have a<br />

look at this. However, if you're offended by anything<br />

taking a poke at religion<br />

then leave it alone.<br />

Amongst the messages<br />

regarding the supposed<br />

bad-vibes in the scene right<br />

now, you're treated to<br />

exploding hari-krishnas.<br />

P4<br />

Some of us may find this<br />

amusing, but others not. If<br />

nothing else, this demo is<br />

different even though the<br />

music is a bit repetitive.<br />

Look up there! <strong>Is</strong> it a bird? A plane? No, it's a harikrishna<br />

on a parachute. If you don't know what I'm<br />

talking about yet, get this demo and you'll get the idea.<br />

GA demo<br />

t last a themed demo. Too many of the recent batch<br />

ave all been just fancy graphical effects bolted into a<br />

ew sequences to show off new ideas without any real<br />

hought in presenting them in any themed manor. OK, so<br />

hat's probably not really the idea of creating a demo in<br />

he first place but it certainly makes a change and<br />

evered gets praise for that as well as being pretty neat<br />

n its own right. Apparently it also won second prize at a<br />

onvention called Abduction 96 as well which should<br />

rove its pedigree as a worthwhile download despite<br />

eing nearly 2Mb in size. Set in a medieval theme,<br />

evered opens with a castle backdrop and several renered<br />

images of helmets, axe handles and the like doing<br />

he rotation thang. The backdrop changes every few<br />

bjects to relieve the samey-feeling with suitable pictures<br />

for the setting such as ornamental<br />

scrolls and between<br />

these effects there's a short<br />

• s l i d e s h o w of some very nice<br />

which is more than pleasing<br />

to the eye. Cut to the end<br />

Silly Stories<br />

word game<br />

A regular <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine reader,<br />

Paul Riggs, has<br />

come up with a<br />

very entertaining<br />

game called Silly<br />

Stories which will<br />

run on any <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

with 1Mb of<br />

memory. Written in<br />

Amos, Silly Stories lets you type in a list of words which<br />

it will then output into a story for you, which, depending<br />

on your choice of words, can create very funny results. I<br />

had great fun playing around with it, and, due to Paul's<br />

clever idea of storing multiple banks of words which you<br />

can store on disk and recreate classics at a moments<br />

notice, there's potential here for a lot of laughs. Think of<br />

the fun you could have especially when there's a group<br />

of you playing the game who have just come back from<br />

the pub. And no, we at <strong>CU</strong> have no wish to learn what<br />

words you use after all-night drinking.<br />

Another clever idea in the game is the use of different<br />

templates that use your words, such as the history<br />

lesson and diary. These add long-term appeal and playing<br />

around with the game is great fun due to the multiple<br />

silly samples playing in the background which had me in<br />

stitches. Very good fun, especially with a group of you<br />

competing to see who's is best. And<br />

remember: no swearing!<br />

AGA demo<br />

To date this ranks as<br />

the most bizzare demo<br />

I've ever seen. I<br />

recommend you take a<br />

look but you are going<br />

to need a reasonablespec<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> to be able<br />

to run it. The file alone<br />

uncompressed is over<br />

two and a half<br />

megabytes and needs<br />

an 030 machine with<br />

an extra 4Mb of fast<br />

RAM. If you qualify then grab this and see what it does<br />

for you.<br />

Television is, according to its creators Bizzare Arts,<br />

an experiment in overlaying demo effects across video<br />

output. It looks like they've used grabs from movies<br />

here for the backdrops as there are scans of cars skidding<br />

and market places, although they must have had a<br />

video camera for some of the work as they put themselves<br />

into the film.<br />

Very drab colours are deliberately used on this<br />

footage to make it stand out and combined with the<br />

creepy music which I thought was superb, its a very<br />

impressive piece of work. Well worth a look if you're<br />

after something a little different from<br />

8810<br />

the run-of-the-mill effects these days.<br />

PO UTILITIES<br />

ti<br />

t<br />

From art through to Arexx there's something for<br />

This is not, as the title would lead you to believe, a<br />

compilation of tools for the Internet. However, this disk<br />

has been obviously designed to have something that<br />

appeals to everyone.<br />

For a start, AMOS owners will like<br />

e<br />

it as there is an<br />

assembler for the serious code-heads as well as a<br />

starfield generator for shoot 'em up lovers.<br />

Unsurprisingly there is yet another new Trashcan (why<br />

do they keep writing these things?) similar to the<br />

Macintosh one which stores deleted files like a cache so<br />

you can access recently deleted files if you decide not<br />

to kill them after all. We also have AppMore, which performs<br />

specific functions with particular files when<br />

dropped onto its window, similar in style to Class Action<br />

(reviewed last month) but not as pretty.<br />

As well as a disk tester there are a couple of disk<br />

tools as well, namely DosPrefs, which lets you use Unix<br />

wildcards and enable 'no-click' on floppy drives. Finally<br />

there is a module to sample conversion tool along with<br />

a Prime Factor generator which shows prime factorisations<br />

of given numbers, nl, n2 etc. Exactly what the<br />

doctor ordered.<br />

ramri<br />

Month<br />

Ever dabbled in ARexx programming? If not then skip<br />

past now. The same goes for those of you who hate<br />

Magic User Interface.<br />

Still here? Good. MUIRexx lets you create front-end<br />

GU<strong>Is</strong> using the powerful features of MUI with simple<br />

ARexx scripts. A lot of programs now offer an ARexx<br />

port, allowing them to be remotely controlled from<br />

script files. This is ideal for automating tedious tasks<br />

such as image processing and batch operations.<br />

It is actually possible to create full applications<br />

using MUIRexx, as the example demos prove but most<br />

people will probably use it purely to generate GUI<br />

front ends for scripts that control larger applications.<br />

To make life easier there's even a builder program to<br />

help you create the front end GUI so you can put the<br />

rest of the script into place later on. Have a look at the 1<br />

pictures here to see the results you can achieve.<br />

MUIRexx doesn't yet support all of the functions within<br />

MUI but there's enough to be going on with. Be<br />

warned that you need to read the docs and give it<br />

some time before you get really good results. Requires<br />

0S3.04-. Very highly recommended.<br />

Of Mice and Mem<br />

mice and memory tools<br />

Another compilation<br />

disk, and<br />

what a great<br />

title. I booted this<br />

up expecting<br />

some badly<br />

spelled text file of<br />

the works of<br />

Charles Dickens<br />

but soon caught<br />

on. Of Mice and<br />

Mom is actually a<br />

group of useful<br />

tools and hacks relating to mice and memory, along with a<br />

program for handling assign requesters which seems<br />

strangely out of place.<br />

The stuff here ranges from standard tools for displaying<br />

available memory, of which there are several, and a<br />

couple of handy commands for redirecting where the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> looks for mouse input so you use the joystick port<br />

if you've broken the original.<br />

There are a couple of small hacks including one that<br />

lets you emulate a middle mouse button from the keyboard,<br />

and a very strange program that gobbles all your<br />

memory - useful for testing applications in low-memory<br />

environments. Personally I would just use MUI for that<br />

kind of task. It's rather good at it.<br />

Overall there's not much here that you can't do with<br />

one of the commodities such as MCP or MultiCX, but it's<br />

a good compilation in its own right if you ever have<br />

problems with either of the two subjects covered, as one<br />

of the programs may be able to help you out.<br />

Internet movie<br />

database (V3.4)<br />

The Internet Movie<br />

Database (INIDb), is the<br />

most popular and well<br />

established resource for<br />

film information on the<br />

Internet. It is an international<br />

operation aimed<br />

at providing up to<br />

date film data, freely<br />

available on-line across<br />

as many systems as<br />

73 0,0<br />

possible. It currently covers over 80,000 different<br />

movies. The database contains more than 1,000,000<br />

filmography entries and expands continuously. For movie<br />

information, no other source of data even comes close to<br />

it yet.<br />

Look Out for version four of the browser which<br />

promises a lot of new features and should be with us<br />

DoodlePaint 2.1<br />

art package<br />

PO UTILITIES<br />

DoodlePaint is a nice program flawed by the limitations<br />

of Amos, which was the programming language used<br />

for its creation. Easy enough to use, it has some nice<br />

graphical tools that usually only show up in superior<br />

commercial art packages such as Brilliance. However, it<br />

sluggish to use and the GUI is unfriendly.<br />

Among the effects on offer are the usual freehand<br />

bits with lines, boxes, pattern-fills and circles. You also<br />

have more interesting effects like blur, spray and<br />

shapes, using triangle and rhombus which appear to be<br />

unique. You can even overlay startields which suggests<br />

that these ideas have been bolted on through revisions<br />

as the author came up with them.<br />

There are some options generally associated with<br />

more advanced software, like brushes (you can flick<br />

between nine that are stored in memory, which is<br />

clever) but there are major flaws. Changing screen<br />

modes results in the loss of the current picture, there's<br />

no spare screen and you're limited to IFF formats without<br />

AGA.<br />

The documentation claims you can use HAM and later<br />

contradicts itself stating that it's not possible. It seems<br />

the latter is correct which is a shame as it limits the<br />

program severely. I can't really see much appeal for this<br />

in its current state but there is potential here if more<br />

work is put into it. Features like datatypes, multiple<br />

screen modes and AGA support are essential.<br />

Despite the horrible 051.3 interface built around scripts<br />

and aged display tools to present info the information in<br />

this disk is well worth it. This is a veritable gold-mine for<br />

the technically-minded who want to improve their Amigos<br />

and don't mind getting their hands dirty. Be warned that<br />

the tutorials here are not for novice <strong>Amiga</strong> users, or people<br />

with no understanding of electronics, as most work<br />

entails breaking warranties by opening the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

These tutorials are mainly text files, some with simple<br />

IFF diagrams, covering fitting 3.5 inch hard drives into<br />

Al2003 and using PC input devices like mice and joysticks.<br />

And there's a lot more. Those who revel in this<br />

kind of project will love Helping Hands.<br />

Some of the text is a bit out-dated now, but I could<br />

have used it myself for the hard drive info a couple of<br />

years back. Recommended provided you can live with the<br />

horrible interface.<br />

Welcome to the<br />

section of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine dedicated<br />

to all things CD.<br />

We kick off this<br />

month with a look<br />

at a CD-writing<br />

software and hard-<br />

ware combination,<br />

MasteriS0 and the<br />

Hewlett Packard<br />

40201: the gear<br />

used to create this<br />

month's Super CD<br />

ROM 4 and the previous<br />

two before<br />

that. Prices of CD-R<br />

drives are dropping<br />

like stones and<br />

there's all the soft-<br />

ware you need to<br />

do the whole thing<br />

from your <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

CD-ROM Scene<br />

this month <strong>Is</strong><br />

dominated by DTP.<br />

There's DTP<br />

Toolbox which sees<br />

a re-release for<br />

ProPage 4.0, a new<br />

print designer in<br />

the form of Print<br />

Studio Pro and we<br />

take a sneak peek<br />

at a new drawing<br />

package called<br />

PRODUCT TEST<br />

HP4020i Et<br />

NiasterISO<br />

• For price and details see box to the right<br />

Mastering your own CDs is lot<br />

easier than you think once you have<br />

the right tools. We test two here.<br />

CDs and now they're<br />

the ultimate standard<br />

0 ime's for reproducing moved on large for<br />

quantities of data cheaply. They're<br />

mostly read only but there are CD<br />

Writers (CD-R decks) which can<br />

write to their own special 'Gold'<br />

disks worth about a tenner a shot.<br />

The HP4020i is one such CD-R<br />

deck and operates as a quad speed<br />

read and a double speed writer.<br />

The HP4020i is a SCSI unit,<br />

though you'll need a quick SCSI<br />

interface to use it if the source<br />

drive and the CD-R are on the save<br />

controller. It's not so much of a<br />

problem if the source drive is on<br />

your IDE interface so that it doesn't<br />

use the same SCSI bus. Note,<br />

once CD-Rs get on a roll recording<br />

data, they must not be interrupted<br />

for even a second or the recording<br />

will be irretrievably<br />

lost.<br />

Design wise the HP4020i is a<br />

standard looking CD-ROM drive<br />

with two status lights on the front<br />

panel. One indicates readANrite<br />

operations while the other is a<br />

general status indicator.<br />

MasterISO<br />

Only PC software is supplied with<br />

the HP so you'll need a copy of<br />

Asimware's MasterISO package<br />

which performs the dual tasks of<br />

creating an ISO disk image and<br />

writing the image to the CD-R.<br />

CD-ROMs don't use an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

filesystern, they use a filesystem<br />

called ISO 9660. The only reason<br />

CDs work on the <strong>Amiga</strong> is because<br />

CD drivers have an ISO 9660 file<br />

system built in_<br />

MasterISO must read the entire<br />

source material for the CD and create<br />

an ISO image file. This means<br />

the ISO file will be slightly larger<br />

than all of the' source material.<br />

If burning a full CD<br />

you'd need a 650Mb<br />

partition for<br />

the<br />

original<br />

data<br />

and a<br />

Ws.<br />

•t<br />

700Mb partition or so<br />

for the source files.<br />

Don't buy a large drive<br />

since building the<br />

image will trash the<br />

heads about and take<br />

quite a long time two<br />

drives are better.<br />

MasterISO only<br />

guarantees certain CD-<br />

R, SCSI controller and<br />

hard drive combinations<br />

will work while<br />

others will carry an ele-<br />

ment of risk. As a rule if the units<br />

match or exceed the specifications<br />

there shouldn't be a problem. Asim<br />

recommend such controllers as<br />

the Fastlane and DKB 4091 Zorro<br />

III SCSI controller. Add on SCSI<br />

modules for accelerators should<br />

be suitable and perhaps even<br />

some of the quicker Zorro II units.<br />

The PCMCIA Squirrel or Surf<br />

Squirrel units, however, are not of<br />

high enough specification.<br />

Burning gold<br />

VVe use the HP4020i with an<br />

A4000T arid its built in 4091 SCSI<br />

controller. The hard drives are high<br />

specification but relatively cheap<br />

Seagate Medialist models. Building<br />

a full 650Mb image takes some<br />

time even with a 68060 machine.<br />

Around 15-20 minutes is the norm.<br />

The length of a CD is measured in<br />

minutes and seconds, the time<br />

taken to write to it is its length<br />

divided by two.<br />

Audio tracks can also be writ<br />

ten but first 16-bit 44KHz stereo<br />

sample files must be converted<br />

– t o raw CDDA format in the<br />

Noah same way as building an<br />

ISO image. However,<br />

Asimware say that this limitation<br />

will be removed from<br />

the next version of<br />

MasterISO. Mixed CDs have<br />

the data ISO file loaded as<br />

track one and the audio<br />

tracks loaded after.<br />

MasterISO sadly has a<br />

MastettS0 is die softwous tint you'll cooed to two lootitel your ovio CDs<br />

kludgy user interface which<br />

gurued when I tried to run it under<br />

my CGraphX RTG system. It's best<br />

to run MasterISO by booting with<br />

no startup-sequence; the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />

multitasking nature may take away<br />

valuable CPU time from the<br />

process of writing to the CD. It<br />

also cures any problems running<br />

on RTG systems.<br />

Conclusion<br />

MasterISO is not cheap, but it<br />

works well. Hopefully with a<br />

MasterISO update some of the<br />

more complex aspects of making<br />

CDs such as placing track markers<br />

in the middle of audio data<br />

will be implemented. Until then,<br />

if you want to get into CD writing<br />

on the <strong>Amiga</strong>. this combination<br />

is about the only option and<br />

thankfully it's quite competent.<br />

Here's a brief taster of a new package on the way from the authors of<br />

Texture Studio and Image Studio. Andy and Graham Dean have been at it<br />

again and this time they've come up with a<br />

structured drawing package that aims to<br />

knock spots off the competition. Draw Studio<br />

promises a list of features including various<br />

types of filled text Iincluding bitmap patterns),<br />

text wrapping on curves, structured<br />

drawing tools, bitmap and structured combinations,<br />

transparent colours, exporting as<br />

•<br />

EPS, aspect ratio corrected display<br />

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

release on floppy and CD-<br />

Printers eh? Don't you just love 'em? As<br />

well as using them for all straightforward<br />

jobs like printing out invoices with<br />

a little bit of imagination you can put<br />

your printer to all kinds of uses.<br />

And what with the low cost of colour<br />

printers these days, it seems a shame<br />

not to adorn your possessions and<br />

stationery with customised logos<br />

and frills.<br />

Print Studio Pro, the main program<br />

on this CD, is a kind of DTP system<br />

that's specifically designed for desk top<br />

printing, rather than publishing. By<br />

combing text, structured drawing and<br />

clip art elements you can build up<br />

pages of labels, forms, letterheads,<br />

coversheets and all hat sort of thing.<br />

It's pretty simple<br />

to use. Once<br />

you've set up<br />

your page you<br />

can then import<br />

your various elements<br />

and<br />

arrange them on<br />

Welcome to the<br />

CD-ROM theme<br />

party. This time<br />

it's drawing<br />

cene<br />

and DTP. Anyone<br />

care for a<br />

sausage roll?<br />

the screen using the standard DIP-style<br />

boxes and handles. As you've 'probably<br />

guessed already, there's a load of clip<br />

art and fonts on the CD to get you<br />

started. In<br />

fact there's more than enough just to<br />

get you started, there's enough to<br />

keep you pumping Out those labels<br />

for months.<br />

Although you could do most of<br />

this with a good DTP program, Print<br />

Studio Pro is better suited to the job<br />

because it's not cluttered up with<br />

unnecessary options and memoryguzzling<br />

features. If you want to get the<br />

most from your printer, Print Studio Pro<br />

is very highly recommended.<br />

of <strong>Amiga</strong> DTP LH's main man<br />

Larry Hickmott will be familiar to<br />

most DIP enthusiasts, if not<br />

from EM magazine then surely<br />

from his DTP tutorials that seem<br />

pto<br />

have found their way into just<br />

about every <strong>Amiga</strong> magazine on<br />

the shelves. It's fitting then that<br />

they've compiled this highly worthy<br />

slab at an all-in-one DTP<br />

solution CD-ROM.<br />

Top of the bill is a complete<br />

fully functioning version of<br />

Professional Page 4.1. This<br />

acclaimed DTP package may not<br />

have seen anything much in the<br />

way of development over the last<br />

few years, it's still a sound piece<br />

of software and it works too,<br />

which is always a bonus. As is<br />

always the case with advanced<br />

DTP software, you'll need a fast<br />

CPU to get it working at a reasonable<br />

speed, otherwise you'll<br />

find yourself spending quite a<br />

while watching the screen redraw.<br />

This is not the fastest bit of software<br />

your <strong>Amiga</strong> has ever seen -<br />

a good 030 or faster CPU is recommended.<br />

While it's not in the<br />

same league as the Apple Mac's<br />

Quark Xpress it's still capable of<br />

producing professional documents,<br />

even entire magazines if<br />

your <strong>Amiga</strong> has enough speed,<br />

RAM and hard drive space.<br />

All in one<br />

There's no printed documentation<br />

for ProPage or any of the<br />

software on the CD which could<br />

present a problem for newcomers.<br />

However, you do get some<br />

comprehensive help in the form<br />

of an <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide document<br />

which tours the main areas of the<br />

program along with some quickstart<br />

tips.<br />

Running at a far more manageable<br />

speed there's a cut<br />

down version of Final Writer<br />

included on the disc, Final Writer<br />

ImageStudio el1994 1995 Andy Dean<br />

o I Co-ords lqb<br />

ar ightness<br />

Lite. While this isn t as capable<br />

as Professional Page . when it<br />

comes to big documents with all<br />

j<br />

the trimmings, for less adventurous<br />

newsletters and Gpresenta<br />

tions it's fine. Somewhere<br />

r<br />

between a full-blown DIP package<br />

and a word processor, e it's a<br />

lot quicker and easier e to use,<br />

with less demanding system<br />

requirements. The n interface is<br />

nice too, taking in elements I of<br />

Magic User Interface without<br />

actually using it. If d you want<br />

something to knock Bout<br />

neat<br />

looking documents with no fuss<br />

you can't go wrong l with it.<br />

An update to Professional u<br />

Draw version 3.03 from version<br />

3.0 is also included. e Professional<br />

Draw 3.0 was included . on the<br />

May 1995 cover disks of <strong>CU</strong><br />

2<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine and this update<br />

fixes it for AGA compatibility. 1 If<br />

you don't have that cover disk or<br />

1<br />

the original program, LH<br />

Publishing say they / have a few<br />

back copies of that . they can<br />

supply. Professional Draw is a<br />

structured drawing 1companion<br />

program to Professional 1 Page.<br />

Those are the main players<br />

on the CD but there's 1 also a<br />

supporting cast of 1smaller<br />

programs<br />

and tools that are bound<br />

to come in handy. Directory 1<br />

everyone's first choice of a file<br />

manager but it's quite capable of<br />

sorting out those day to day jobs.<br />

Pull together<br />

On the image processing front<br />

there's Image Studio and GFX<br />

Lab. Neither of them are in the<br />

league of Photogenics but<br />

together they make a surprisingly<br />

powerful team, so long as you<br />

use the strong points of each<br />

program. GFX Lab comes<br />

equipped with an impressive<br />

array of special effects processes,<br />

while Image Studio is a good<br />

workhorse application especially<br />

for re-colouring, re-sizing and<br />

general re-formatting of images<br />

Nat Bettinson swears by it). GFX<br />

Lab can be a bit temperamental<br />

though, especially if you try to<br />

run it straight from the CD.<br />

Fonts and pictures are<br />

some of the main beneficiaries<br />

of the enormous capacity of CD-<br />

ROM. There's around 110Mb of<br />

fonts and about 230Mb of pictures,<br />

That should keep you<br />

going for a bit. The rest of the<br />

CD is filled with all kinds of<br />

useful bits and pieces, like printer<br />

drivers, archivers, ARexx<br />

macros, PageStream 3 updates<br />

One unique aspect of this CD<br />

is that every one ordered is specially<br />

cut onto a gold CD. This<br />

has allowed LH Publishing to<br />

offer a special service to all customers.<br />

Anyone who orders the<br />

DTP Toolbox CD can have I up to<br />

ten floppy disks' worth of their<br />

own software included on the CD<br />

for no extra charge. More can be<br />

included for an additional fee.<br />

If you're short of a good DTP<br />

and word processing package<br />

this should make an attractive<br />

option. With Professional Page<br />

as the main attraction, if you've<br />

already got yourself setup with<br />

ProPage or PageStream the rest<br />

of the CD is unlikely to tempt<br />

you at this price. However, considering<br />

what you get for your<br />

cash DIP Toolbox represents a<br />

good value DIP package on one<br />

neat little gold CD.<br />

BE CAREFUL<br />

OUT THERE!<br />

A senior member of the maggot<br />

community has repeated warnings that<br />

a significant number (If angling<br />

hotspots are being identified each week<br />

by the leading angling newspaper.<br />

Commenting on the reports he said,<br />

"I need to warn all maggots to steer<br />

clear of these danger zones or be<br />

prepared to face waters teeming with<br />

ravenous fish."<br />

Noting that Angling Times readers are<br />

generally better equipped and higher<br />

skilled than average anglers,<br />

he warned, _<br />

"This information is now in dangerous<br />

hands. These people will be<br />

bagging up."<br />

So the message is clear! Don't get<br />

caught in the wrong place at the wrong<br />

time, because Angling Times readers<br />

are Live and Fishing.<br />

<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine's CDs have<br />

earned a reputation for being<br />

the best top quality <strong>Amiga</strong> CDs<br />

available. Here's why.<br />

How to use <strong>CU</strong>CD 4<br />

As with prior cover CDs, <strong>CU</strong>CD4 can be used either by<br />

booting on a CD32 or Al200/4000 with adequate CD32<br />

emulation. The CD will not boot under any Kickstart earlier<br />

than 3.0. If using the CD via Workbench and intending to<br />

run software directly off the CD then it's important to first<br />

click on the 'ink CD • icon. This sets up various assigns<br />

and makes MUI 3.6 temporarily available if it is not<br />

already installed.<br />

It's worth noting that running software directly from<br />

CD is a touch-and-go business. While we've gone to a lot<br />

of effort to make many programs run from the CD, others<br />

may have to be dragged to your hard drive either manually<br />

or by running an included installer. 'Init CD' also runs<br />

the New Icons patch so don't be surprised if the icons<br />

change afterwards.<br />

Aulit<br />

This month's best modules are<br />

Compuspace by Dominic Smart<br />

and OutWipe by Paradise Decay.<br />

OP bolo amp. k.e ONO Ok• • • • • • r n d<br />

•••••• min* Seq. Whim Co• ot<br />

CO-ROMS<br />

Compuspace is a four channel MED module and OutWipe is a<br />

Protracker module also only four channels proving you don't need<br />

multiple channel formats to sound superb. As last month, we've<br />

given the modules a subtle stereo image and then burned direct to<br />

CD as 44Khz 16bit audio. You can play the audio tracks either in your<br />

CD-ACM or a standard CD audio player but on the latter remember to<br />

avoid track 1 and go straight to track 2 for Compuspace and track 3<br />

for OutWipe.<br />

Have fun exploring <strong>CU</strong>CD4 and don't forget to send us any work of<br />

your own so we can include it on later CDs. Feel free to write into the<br />

magazine and tell us what you'd like to see on future CDs or how<br />

you'd like to see them organised. Address all letters to CD Editor.<br />

A word on demos and games<br />

Demos and games are almost never coded in a so-called OS Legal<br />

way. That means that while they may work for us, they might not<br />

work for you for several reasons. Either your hardware set-up is<br />

slightly different or some third party software running on your <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

may upset the demo or consume resources that the demo/game<br />

requires. Please do not assume the CD is simply 'faulty' if any of this<br />

software refuses to run.<br />

There are things you can do to make the software more likely to<br />

run. Closing down any running software, screens and such forth will<br />

free up resources. It might be better to cut to the chase and copy the<br />

demo/game onto your hard drive and then boot with no startup<br />

sequence. This involves resetting and holding down both mouse buttons,<br />

then press boot with no startup-sequence.<br />

You'll then be placed into the <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS shell so you'd need to<br />

know enough about that aspect of your <strong>Amiga</strong> to navigate to where<br />

the software is and run it. As a general rule, if the game or demo still<br />

doesn't work then it's incompatible with your machine. If you get a<br />

requester asking for a specific volume then the software needs<br />

'assigns' set up and so is fairly likely it has an installer that should<br />

have been run.<br />

Generally driving <strong>CU</strong>CDs is as simple as clicking on an icon of<br />

something you want to run, play, see etc. You should find it will<br />

automatically activate a player, viewer or run the program without<br />

further ado. Of course if you access <strong>CU</strong>CD from a directory utility.<br />

then you can use your own preference of players, viewers etc on<br />

the specific files.<br />

We can't emphasise enough the importance of clicking on any<br />

readme or other documentation files inside each directory. There's<br />

simply too much material for us to detail here so you'll have to<br />

explore, read the documentation and see if each program or whatev<br />

er is of use or interest to you.<br />

CD-ROMS<br />

What's<br />

When the Super CD 4 icon (called <strong>CU</strong>CD4) is opened from<br />

the Workbench, you'll see a smaller window than usual.<br />

This isn't because there's a lot less material, it's because<br />

this month's CD takes the different approach where the<br />

bulk of the material is in a separate '<strong>CU</strong>CD' drawer.<br />

<strong>CU</strong>CD4 root directory<br />

Magazine<br />

This month the Magazine directory contains four drawers. The<br />

Wired World directory contains WhirIGIF to go with the WiredWorld<br />

tutorial in this issue. It's also got a bumper collection of icon pictures<br />

for Web page use. There's also some example<br />

AnimGIFs and HTML creation packages including<br />

Vs/ebPlug and WebDesign. The PD Scene and P D<br />

Ut I s drawers contain the DMS and LHA<br />

archives of the software reviewed in PD<br />

Utilities and PD Scene this month. Finally the<br />

Psion directory contains the <strong>Amiga</strong>NCP<br />

Psion to <strong>Amiga</strong> networking package to go with !<br />

months Psion palmtop computer<br />

feature. What's more there's virtually<br />

every item of freely redistributable<br />

Psion software included too<br />

all in LZX archives.<br />

Workbench<br />

The same as previous Workbench<br />

versions installed on <strong>CU</strong>CDs. it's a<br />

full installation of Workbench at<br />

minus the ARexx distributions.<br />

Support<br />

This directory contains many of the support programs and<br />

utilities used to play and view the rest of the files on the CD.<br />

r<br />

i<br />

•<br />

n you!'<br />

iIt's similar to last month only this time<br />

the MUI installed is version 3.6 and a<br />

new Delitracker is included<br />

XCAD 2000<br />

This directory contains the full commercial<br />

release of XCAD 2000 2D and 3D. It<br />

can be run from the CD but would be better<br />

being dragged onto your hard drive,<br />

The <strong>CU</strong>CD drawer<br />

Demos<br />

This month we have a bumper collection of Scene Demos including the<br />

sequel to the <strong>CU</strong>CD2 massive Data World animation demo, Wild<br />

Summer. All of the Demos are unpacked and ready to run though they<br />

may need to be run by booting with no start-up sequence. Be sure to<br />

check the system requirements in any of the readme files present within<br />

the Demo drawers.<br />

Information<br />

In this directory there's a collection<br />

of text and <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide documents<br />

ranging from a ShapeShifter<br />

survey to an entire stand-alone Star<br />

Trek database.<br />

On-line<br />

Dedicated to Communications software,<br />

a few select packages have<br />

been included such as the latest<br />

version of the 97% rated Miami<br />

Internet software, the YAM and<br />

Voodoo Email clients and a voicemail<br />

package called SpeakFreely.

Stars in your<br />

eyes but<br />

not in your<br />

animations.<br />

Here are three ways to<br />

create realistic-looking<br />

starfi eld effects.<br />

Solution one<br />

First, perhaps the most obviOus solution is to<br />

use a backdrop texture instead of the default<br />

star field objects. Depending on your artistic<br />

abilities or your access to NASA images, this<br />

can be a fantastically realistic way to spice up<br />

your images. Think of Babylon 5's lovely purple<br />

star clusters and how they stop the<br />

images looking dull.<br />

Here's how to add a backdrop to your<br />

images. Remember that a neat trick is to use<br />

a backdrop that you've rendered previously.<br />

This will save on rendering time.<br />

Step one<br />

Create a starry backdrop using either a paint<br />

program or by altering an existing image.<br />

There are plenty of NASA images around<br />

such as those taken from the Hubble Space<br />

Telescope which are extremely colourful. It is<br />

essential to keep the backdrop the same size<br />

as the final render, so if you plan on rendering<br />

images of different sizes it might be a good<br />

a<br />

space ships with Imagine, you will have<br />

no doubt come across quite an irritating<br />

problem: stars. They just don't look right.<br />

I Although the Globals menu in the Action<br />

editor f contains a star density setting, there are<br />

several y drawbacks with it. For example, stars<br />

won't o appear through transparent objects, are<br />

all u single pixels in size, are all pure white and<br />

refuse to animate properly.<br />

h<br />

To illustrate this, imagine (excuse the puns)<br />

that<br />

a<br />

you are animating a space ship flying past<br />

v<br />

e<br />

idea e to create a large backdrop (say 640 by<br />

512) v and scale it as needed (to 320 by 256<br />

for<br />

e<br />

example).<br />

r<br />

Step two<br />

t<br />

Create an Imagine project and after loading<br />

and r positioning your objects, go to the Action<br />

editor. i Open the Global settings and enter the<br />

path e and filename of the backdrop image.<br />

d<br />

Step t three<br />

Render<br />

o<br />

your project. You can use 256 or more<br />

colours if you like when creating the back-<br />

r<br />

drop and Imagine will automatically reduce<br />

the camera. The camera pans to follow the<br />

ship, but unfortunately the stars don't move as<br />

you pan so the illusion is ruined. And the fact<br />

that the stars are all single white pixels means<br />

that if you render something which you want<br />

to print later the stars come out either looking<br />

extremely boring and flat or even stand a very<br />

good chance of disappearing altogether<br />

Luckily, there are ways and means of avoiding<br />

these pitfalls with stars and I'm here to show<br />

you how,<br />

interesting results,<br />

Solution 2<br />

A backdrop might be OK for a still image but<br />

what happens when the camera changes posit*?<br />

Although you can animate<br />

-using<br />

multiple images, trying to keep in sync<br />

a with backdrop<br />

camera movement is nearly impossible.<br />

One exception would be a 3D star field<br />

moving towards the camera with an object.<br />

such as a space ship, static in the middle of<br />

the screen. You can create an animated star<br />

field using an Art Program such as Deluxe<br />

Paint, or try digitising the end credits to Star<br />

Trek TNG with ProGrab. By creating two animations,<br />

one with the stars moving into the centre<br />

of the screen, one with the stars moving<br />

towards the edges, you can create great chase<br />

scenes. Cut to a sequence with ship one,<br />

showing a view from above and behind, using<br />

the forward-looking star field. Then cut to a<br />

sequence of another ship, this time viewed<br />

from the front. The background stars are moving<br />

back into the centre. This gives the impression<br />

that the second ship is chasing the first.<br />

However, a simple backdrop doesn't really<br />

suit animation. The second approach is to take<br />

the background texture and map it onto an<br />

object which can be shaped to suit the animation<br />

movements. A short pan from left to right<br />

ight require a long rectangle. whilst a full 360<br />

degree rotation might mean that you will need<br />

to map your design into a solid sphere and<br />

position your objects inside. This technique<br />

also has the advantage of showing through<br />

transparent objects. Here's how to do it<br />

Step one<br />

Create an image for the background, it doesn't<br />

matter about the resolution. In Imagine's Detail<br />

editor create a primitive plane to map the texture<br />

on to. Change the size to suit the resolution<br />

of the picture (if the image is 320 by 256,<br />

make the plane 320 units wide and 256 units<br />

high) and change the default 10 units to 1.<br />

Step two<br />

Now select the plane's attributes and pick<br />

Brush maps. Pick the background texture and<br />

wo o C a n c e l .<br />

nal PIS Z O<br />

keep to the default settings. Make sure the<br />

Bright setting is on<br />

- drop this from being shaded and keep it uniform in<br />

wcolour. i l Now l save your backdrop object.<br />

p r e v e<br />

Step three<br />

n<br />

Turn<br />

t<br />

to the Stage editor and load in the Plane<br />

tobject. hScale e and position it behind the key<br />

bobjects a in your c scene, making sure you can't<br />

ksee the - edges. Don't use lights which cast<br />

shadows, although a Bright background object<br />

will be immune to shadows.<br />

Step four<br />

If you are being adventurous, you can use the<br />

transparent colour option to create several layers<br />

of backdrop for a bizarre parallax effect.<br />

Make the backdrop pattern a Filter map (in the<br />

Brushmap selection window) and use a pure<br />

white backdrop with areas of darker detail. The<br />

white areas will be transparent, the darker<br />

shades more opaque. Now add lots more layers<br />

and move them at different speeds for an<br />

'interesting' effect. Great for dream sequences<br />

and alien nebulous life forms.<br />

Solution three<br />

This final solution is my favourite, as it involves<br />

creating the entire universe as an Imagine<br />

object. As stars are really nothing more than<br />

points of light, there is absolutely nothing to<br />

stop you from creating several thousand small,<br />

bright objects. Nothing that is, except the<br />

three months it would take to do the job prop<br />

erly. Imagine creating an object, copying it,<br />

moving it and repeating it nine hundred and<br />

ninety nine times there just has to be an<br />

easier way.<br />

There is, although it's taken me several<br />

years to find it. I wish I had thought of it, but<br />

didn't: I read it on an old USENET posting so<br />

total respect to the genius who thought it up<br />

in the first place.<br />

Here is how to create your own universe in<br />

a minute or so. You will need a sensible<br />

amount of memory to cope with all this (as<br />

you might expect, the universe is a big place)<br />

so if you get weird crashes try investing in<br />

some more Simms. About 8Mb of Fast RAM<br />

and a quick 030 is good to start with.<br />

Step one<br />

In the detail editor, create a primitive Sphere<br />

object (hit F5 and select the default sphere).<br />

Alter the size so that it's about 1000 units<br />

in diameter.<br />

Step two<br />

Use the Object menu, pick Add and select<br />

Axis. This gives our sphere an Axis and<br />

makes it a 'proper' object.<br />

Step three<br />

Select both objects and use Join from the<br />

Object menu. Now select Make Path from<br />

the menu too. This changes the Sphere<br />

from an object, to a Path which objects can<br />

follow (this itself is a wonderful concept to<br />

play with!I<br />

Step four<br />

Now create a single star. The object has to<br />

be as small as possible and that means a<br />

miniature pyramid. Use the Cone primitive,<br />

like th<br />

Step five<br />

iVs white and bright. Later on you can create<br />

Step six<br />

Now the fun part. Select the star object and<br />

then use the Functions menu, pick Mold and<br />

Replicate. Fill in the following settings (alter<br />

the 500 to a smaller number if you don't have<br />

much memory. Notice how the Sphere<br />

the Join process)<br />

t I've had a couple of [mails ask-<br />

There's a couple of ways to do<br />

and It'll all be centered within the bounds of the CENTER tags.<br />

this, firstly there's a 'Netscapisni<br />

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

thlorinitately a stiliC screen grab call de this AaintGIF imstict The lighlaing bait shown here though the CV <strong>Amiga</strong> Inge dances mould courier, al iniagefX 2.6 and the .<br />

ramdomme b e t e l .<br />

!echnique is to set the palette to something<br />

..t•ich should cover all of the frames, load the<br />

-lages as brushes and remap the brushes to<br />

:le screen palette. PPaint and DPaint can deal<br />

this easily.<br />

WhirIGIF should be driven in the shell with<br />

hri<br />

et<br />

tdrIGIF hi -o animgif.gif -tins, 50<br />

frame2.gif<br />

ng<br />

l<br />

The file animgif.gif here is the output<br />

oimGIF<br />

and the value after '-time' is the<br />

o ount of time that each frame will be<br />

k played in ticks, so 50 is one second. The<br />

i input GIEs are then specified from first to<br />

nI.<br />

If the AnimGIF is to be transparent, the<br />

g<br />

sparent colour should be the same (ie the<br />

background) on all frames. An additional<br />

l<br />

,gument of '-trans followed by the number<br />

i the palette which is transparent, will<br />

k required. You can tell this from your<br />

nint e package.<br />

; It's even possible to specify the time<br />

.-able for each frame in case you want to<br />

a single frame displayed longer or shortthan<br />

the rest. In this case a full example<br />

ght look like this;<br />

GIFs and the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

It's a shame that the AnimGIF has appeared<br />

as the most common simple animation standard<br />

for the Web. Not only is it not a very efficient<br />

standard but it has the same legal<br />

voblems as the standard GIF format with the<br />

Unisys patent etc. This means it's increasingly<br />

hard to find new software which has support<br />

for the GIF file format built-in. Many, like<br />

Cloanto's Personal Paint and Nova Design's<br />

The resulting AnimGIF can really only<br />

be tested inside Browse so simply create an<br />

in-line graphic and specify the AnimGIE It's<br />

still a good idea to use the width and height<br />

tags, you may as well let the browser lay<br />

Out the pages correctly while it waits to load<br />

the AnimGIF.<br />

Billboard effect<br />

So what sort of things might AnimGIFs be<br />

used for? One common but simple method is<br />

to have just a few frames sporting some<br />

changing text banners. Done correctly, this<br />

looks like a kind of stadium billboard which is<br />

quite useful for maximising impact and space.<br />

This is quite common on web searcher sites<br />

now where every advertiser is allotted a single<br />

GIE Other more interesting uses could be to<br />

add a touch to a logo such as on SASG's<br />

superb web site at http://www.sasg,com. Note<br />

the spinning globe at the top.<br />

Unfortunately in this case the webmaster<br />

has used some PC software which isn't available<br />

on the <strong>Amiga</strong>. The AnimGIF standard lets<br />

you animate only a portion of the GIF while<br />

using WhirIGIF you'll have to include each<br />

whole frame so it's best not to try and replicate<br />

what SASG have done with their spinning globe<br />

until some proper <strong>Amiga</strong> AnimGIF processing<br />

software appears.<br />

However. SASG's glowing help button is a<br />

good example of how a large-time value<br />

ImageFX, have used the freely redistributii_<br />

modules approach. That means that the<br />

loader/saver modules aren't present in the<br />

actual package but are available to anyone<br />

free of charge. This gets around a license<br />

code needing to be paid for the use of GIE<br />

These modules are of no use to anyone else<br />

but owners of the package in question but if<br />

it keeps the price down who's complaining?<br />

before a faster sequence of frames is used to<br />

achieve the rising and falling luminosity<br />

effect. SASG's Tiny rotating bullet points is<br />

another excellent example of AnimGIFs. This<br />

kind of thing could be easily created in DPaint<br />

using the brush moving function Spin. Twirl or<br />

otherwise a small arrow. Colour the 'other' side<br />

of the arrow as it turns and save out the individual<br />

frames. Then convert the frames to GIFs<br />

before giving them the WhirIGIF treatment.<br />

Why not go the full monty and drag out your<br />

copy of Imagine from January's copy of <strong>CU</strong><br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine? Load a postscript font into<br />

the spline editor's Load Font function. Choose<br />

add points, extrude the font some, then save<br />

Out the points as an object.<br />

Try Imagine's detail editor for applying a<br />

nice attribute such as gold too. This text<br />

object can then be animated as per John<br />

Kennedy's tutorials on the subject. A simple<br />

rotation would do. There need only be 10 or<br />

so frames and the output renders would only<br />

have to be 50 x 50 or so which will make for<br />

extraordinarily quick rendering. However, after<br />

converting the frames to an AnimGIE you<br />

could have rotating 'NEW' graphics which<br />

actually sparkle as the edges pass the camera.<br />

There's no limit to what you can add to a<br />

Web page given a little bit of imagination and<br />

some restraint concerning the frames, colour<br />

depth and size of the image. •<br />

Mat Bettinson<br />

ImageFX is no longer shipped with a GIF<br />

loader/saver but it can be found on the<br />

Aminet in the path bizipatch/ifxgifbl.lha<br />

This is a superb implementation of the GIE<br />

standard with full progressive and transparency<br />

support. By using ImageFX's effects, an<br />

original frame can be modified, saved as a<br />

GIF ready for WhirIGIE the undo function<br />

applied, the effect altered slightly and so on,<br />

military aviation technology. The address is:<br />

lipersonal account of a visit to broom Lake<br />

L<br />

in which it is alleged that aliens crash landed<br />

their spaceship and were then taken away to<br />

the nearby military installation for examination.<br />

The official comment from Area 51 has not<br />

been consistent, and the incident has never<br />

been explained, leading to hundreds of different<br />

theories from UFO enthusiasts, Personally<br />

I reckon the crash was simply a prototype aircraft<br />

(presumably there are plenty of these at<br />

an Air Force site which 'tests new military technology')<br />

and that the subsequent film footage<br />

of the aliens' post-mortem was a pretty daft<br />

fake. Spooky eh? Well, it's a theory anyway<br />

. There are some photos of the area taken by<br />

Now for something<br />

completely different<br />

The club and festival organisers Universe have<br />

a particularly nice looking site with details on<br />

previous and forthcoming events. Although at<br />

the time of writing it's still adorned with the<br />

Tribal Gathering graphics (the year's top dance<br />

usic festival) it's got useful information for<br />

techno and house fans in the London<br />

area, with full listings of the DJ line-ups for<br />

their club nights at the Complex club in<br />

<strong>Is</strong>lington. We've picked it out here mainly<br />

because it's got some of the best graphics of<br />

any of the sites we've visited this month<br />

This month's Site of the Month is the official<br />

Carling Premiership site. Unlike many others<br />

it's not cluttered with useless sub-pages,<br />

but gets straight down to the business of<br />

serving up facts and figures on all the teams<br />

and results from the Premier League. It's a<br />

nice, simple site, combining decent graphics<br />

arid all the right info without trying to be a<br />

complete on-line football magazine - a slick<br />

site without the usual filler sections.<br />

You'll find it at http://www.fa-carling.com<br />

Show us yours!<br />

Have you got a site you think we<br />

should include in a forthcoming Surf<br />

of the Month? Maybe its your own or<br />

maybe you've just stumbled upon its<br />

greatness in your global net travels. If<br />

so, let us know by E-mailing us at<br />

Net God speaks<br />

There have been some<br />

disturbing events on<br />

the UK Internet of late.<br />

I refer to the great<br />

debate of Internet<br />

censorship. Some are<br />

claiming a victory over<br />

Demon Internet<br />

Services being forced<br />

to agree to block certain<br />

obscene news-<br />

groups. Banning the<br />

material, however,<br />

not the answer as it<br />

will not eradicate the<br />

problem and can be<br />

gotten around by<br />

wrongdoers. For exampie,<br />

an obviously titled<br />

newsgroup for illegal<br />

pornographic material<br />

was banned but then<br />

promptly renamed to<br />

elt.disney so it could<br />

pass by undetected. If<br />

this kind of thing hap.<br />

s more and more<br />

people will accid<br />

come into contact<br />

the disturbing material.<br />

The real solution is to<br />

catch the individuals<br />

posting the obscene<br />

material and not to<br />

censor the forum in<br />

which it is carried o<br />

Those people are<br />

breaking the law in<br />

their country of origin<br />

and should be caught<br />

and punished by their<br />

own authorities. The<br />

police should Email<br />

their international<br />

counterparts who •<br />

have jurisdiction over<br />

the wrong doer and<br />

have them arrested.<br />

86<br />

Surf's up<br />

Censorship reaches the Net, PIOS hit out<br />

out at VIScorp, OctaMED author is fl amed<br />

and rumours abound about Microsoft.<br />

Microsoft on <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />

Rumours that have been circulating<br />

that Microsoft is looking to<br />

port its free Internet Explorer (IE)<br />

browser to the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

This would be welcome news<br />

as IE 3.0 has recently overtaken<br />

Netscape as the most popular<br />

browser in the world though to<br />

date it has only been available in<br />

Microsoft Windows and Macintosh<br />

versions. We asked Microsoft's<br />

head of the IE project whether the<br />

rumours were true. A Microsoft<br />

representative, Yusef Medhi,<br />

replied: "As of now, we have no<br />

plans to develop IE for the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

We are always listening to our customers<br />

and if the demand comes<br />

in we will reconsider our plans for<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> platform".<br />

Some have argued that<br />

Microsoft's products on the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> would be too large like<br />

their PC software, though if the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> did have a port of IE it<br />

would have an industry standard<br />

browser capable of tables,<br />

frames, animgifs and Java etc. If<br />

this sounds good to you, then<br />

please drop Yusef a line on<br />

yusufm@microsoftcom and state<br />

your case.<br />

PIOS parting shot at ViScorp?<br />

PIOS' web site has been<br />

updated with some rather interesting<br />

tidbits First there is a<br />

statement about an inability to<br />

secure a 'working agreement'<br />

with VIScorp. Secondly there is an<br />

announcement about their forthcoming<br />

PowerPC machines.<br />

Interestingly, these machines<br />

will be running MacOS and no<br />

announcement has been forthcoming<br />

on the availability of an<br />

ArnigaOS port,<br />

With the current statement<br />

concerning VIScorp it would<br />

be unlikely that PIOS would actually<br />

be free to port <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS<br />

to the PowerPC. This either leaves<br />

PIOS to implement a 'compatible'<br />

OS ala Phase 5 or to stick<br />

with MacOS.<br />

Recent rumours suggest PIOS<br />

are looking at the Bebox's proprietary<br />

operating system. This is an<br />

odd move since as yet it has no<br />

significant software support.<br />

Perhaps here's where PIOS parts<br />

company with <strong>Amiga</strong> users? Drop<br />

OctaMED SS takes a bashing<br />

OctaMed's author was heavily criticised<br />

recently in comp.sys.amiga.<br />

audio for placing his product in<br />

the commercial domain. Several<br />

posters thought it should be give •<br />

away free. The copy protection<br />

used on the CD version of<br />

OctaMED sound studio seemed<br />

to be the main bone of contention.<br />

Comparisons with Fast-<br />

Tracker II on the PC were also<br />

made arid questions raised as to<br />

why OctaMED SS doesn't surnnri<br />

FT's file standard.<br />

<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine's Tonv<br />

author Teijo Kinnunen have all contributed<br />

reading. Drop in to compsys.<br />

In a refreshing twist to events,<br />

we're concentrating on what not to<br />

do instead of what you should do if<br />

you want to create great music.<br />

, fresh music a good<br />

cidag 3 to bear in mind is<br />

'never say never'. You might<br />

I have noticed over the years<br />

f this Soundlab series tends to<br />

y centrate on the do's rather<br />

oan<br />

don'ts, because if you fill<br />

your<br />

u<br />

head with a massive list of<br />

Things you shouldn't be doing<br />

when<br />

w<br />

you write some music, the<br />

okances a are you'll end up with<br />

samething n about as challenging<br />

and t exciting as daytime TV.<br />

t wever, breaking away from that<br />

o lely positive angle for once, this<br />

nth's Soundiab raises some of<br />

m<br />

e things you might like to avoid<br />

a<br />

order to improve the quality of<br />

your k tunes<br />

e Thanks to you, the readers, we<br />

get i to hear hundreds of modules<br />

that n pop through our letter box for<br />

lune t of the Month type competitions,<br />

not to mention the thou-<br />

e<br />

sands that weave their way to us<br />

r<br />

through the PD channels. Quite<br />

often e the same 'mistakes' will be<br />

heard s from one mod to another<br />

and t ifs these kinks that this piece<br />

-i<br />

attempt to iron out.<br />

Bean spilling<br />

One of the most common downfals<br />

of mods is that they reveal<br />

their entire collection of samples<br />

'thin the first minute or so. This<br />

isn't necessarily a problem if<br />

there's enough variety and progression<br />

in the music itself to<br />

keep up the interest level through<br />

the rest of the tune, but often this<br />

is not the case. People's ears get<br />

sed to sounds very quickly and<br />

h repetitive sounds, the brain<br />

s a habit of blocking them out<br />

of perception before long. For<br />

example, here at the <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

lagazine offices the din of<br />

ondon traffic is constantly blasting<br />

in through the open windows,<br />

but it's only people at the other<br />

end of the phone that seem to<br />

notice it, while we seem to<br />

become 'blind' to the noise for<br />

maybe we're just deaf).<br />

If you're not careful, you might<br />

turn your listener's ears into involuntary<br />

shutdown, Keeping a few<br />

samples up your sleeve for later,<br />

along with some unexpected<br />

twists and turns in the arrangement<br />

will give you a better chance<br />

of keeping your audience attentive<br />

from start to finish. One trick<br />

is to give the impression you've<br />

spilled the beans early on, but<br />

then follow this up with repeated<br />

bean spilling whenever attention<br />

may be about to wane.<br />

Structure<br />

There are no rules about the<br />

structure of a piece of music and<br />

sometimes it works if you just go<br />

with the flow. However, often it's<br />

clear that there's been no thought<br />

given to the structure of a mod,<br />

generally because it peters.out<br />

halfway through and then just<br />

repeats the first sections with a<br />

few half-baked ideas thrown in for<br />

good measure. It's an easy trap to<br />

fall into especially, if like me, your<br />

attention span seems to shorten<br />

drastically once you've spent an<br />

hour or so on a track. One way to<br />

impove your chances of coming<br />

up with a good balanced track is<br />

to think about the overall structure<br />

of the song before you start<br />

out. Will you follow a straight pop<br />

format of verse, chorus and middle<br />

eight, or the club-friendly<br />

build, drop out, riff, build and<br />

repeat maybe you've got your<br />

own format or sequence of sections<br />

in mind, Either way, this can<br />

help avert the feeling of having to<br />

'fill' three and half minutes for a<br />

pop song, or 10 minutes for an<br />

ambient piece or whatever. You<br />

d Lab<br />

Common pitfalls<br />

can use each transition period as<br />

a time to take a break from composing,<br />

have a cuppa and return<br />

with renewed enthusiasm and<br />

ideas, a bit like stopping off for a<br />

bite to eat at the motorway services<br />

during a long car journey<br />

well sort oft<br />

Bad tools<br />

A bad workmen blames his tools<br />

apparently, but it's up to you to<br />

make sure your tools are up to the<br />

job, or your samples in this case.<br />

It's frustrating to hear a mod that's<br />

full of good ideas but is spoilt by<br />

low quality samples. If you have a<br />

particular sample that's a pivotal<br />

point of your track, but you've got<br />

it from some second rate pre-sampled<br />

collection there's only so<br />

much you'll be able to do to<br />

improve its quality. If you've done<br />

all you can and it still sounds<br />

grainy, muffled or distorted, why<br />

not try getting hold of the original<br />

source sound and sample it yourself.<br />

If it's a riff from an existing<br />

record, you'll need to find Out<br />

where it's from sooner or later if<br />

you want the track to be released,<br />

so why riot do a bit of detective<br />

work at your local record shop.<br />

I was once working on a track<br />

based around a tiny piece of<br />

piano pinched from the old house<br />

record Strings of Life, but took<br />

the sample from a vinyl compilation<br />

with about ten tracks<br />

squeezed onto each side, so the<br />

sound quality was awful. The<br />

track was then released on a CD<br />

compilation, which I snapped up.<br />

Unfortunately the<br />

quality was just as<br />

bad on that (something<br />

to do with the<br />

original having been<br />

pressed on recycled<br />

vinyl I think) so I<br />

shelved that track.<br />

However, often these<br />

remastered CD compilations<br />

have come<br />

straight from the original<br />

master tapes, so<br />

the quality is spot on.<br />

Don't forget though,<br />

that you'll need copyright<br />

clearance if you want to<br />

release a track that samples an<br />

existing record.<br />

I'm full up<br />

With the arrival of multi-channel<br />

trackers like OctaMED<br />

SoundStudio it can be tempting to<br />

keep layering more tracks on top<br />

of one another to fill Out the<br />

sound. While it's true that most<br />

studios have access to many<br />

more tracks on their big 'Bridge of<br />

the Enterprise' style mixers, it<br />

doesn't follow that you need<br />

loads of tracks to come up with a<br />

good production,<br />

Over filling a piece with too<br />

many sounds at once becomes a<br />

problem when the instruments<br />

start fighting for your attention,<br />

often because they are using the<br />

same frequency ranges. It's loads<br />

of fun to have access to all these<br />

tracks, especially after being constrained<br />

to just four for so long,<br />

but take time out to make sure<br />

each sound and part of the song is<br />

there for a reason, doing a job<br />

that's not already taken care of by<br />

another part.<br />

As a test, when your tracks<br />

start to fill up, try playing through<br />

a looped section and removing<br />

certain instruments. If you don't<br />

notice their departure then you<br />

can really do without them. If<br />

you're particularly fond of such a<br />

part, you can always copy it to a<br />

spare pattern and use it somewhere<br />

else in the song where the<br />

arrangement is not so busy. •<br />

Still using a TV with your <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />

Here's all you need to know about<br />

exchanging it for a monitor instead.<br />

a. Why a monitor?<br />

A. Monitors produce much betpictures<br />

than TVs, although top<br />

rty TV sets with Scan inputs<br />

comparable to cheap monitors_<br />

4<br />

- I operate at faster refresh rates<br />

:ral y TVs and that means larger<br />

.<br />

plays with no interlace flicker.<br />

v (1. Can I use a PC<br />

monitor e with an <strong>Amiga</strong>?<br />

v<br />

e A. Most PC monitors are<br />

SVGA r and operate at a refresh<br />

rate<br />

,<br />

of about 31kHz. The standard<br />

c<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> output is 15k1-Iz. This<br />

means an <strong>Amiga</strong> operating in this<br />

e<br />

mode will not be able to display a<br />

picture,<br />

r<br />

However, <strong>Amiga</strong>s with<br />

the t AGA chipset can open special<br />

DoubleScan a and Multiscan<br />

screen i modes which are very<br />

close n to 31kHz. Sadly, in most<br />

cases t they aren't close enough<br />

so If you are offered a PC moni-<br />

y<br />

tor. try it before you buy it.<br />

Remember p that only with a<br />

graphics e card can the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

drrve s a PC monitor reliably.<br />

o<br />

II f Q. Which can I use?<br />

m<br />

▪ A. There are a few monitors<br />

o<br />

around which are designed for<br />

the<br />

n<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong>, such as those produced<br />

i by MicroVitec. Not only<br />

will t these monitors display standard<br />

o 15kHz screen modes but<br />

DoubleScan r and MultiScan<br />

modes too, This means you can<br />

display a 640 by 512 Workbench<br />

with no interlace flicker.<br />

▪ CI. What is interlace<br />

flicker? Can I stop it?<br />

• A. An <strong>Amiga</strong> operating in a<br />

normal PAL video mode can<br />

display a screen of 640 pixels by<br />

256 lines. However, a display of<br />

640 by 512 is too much to be<br />

produced in one frame of video.<br />

Instead the <strong>Amiga</strong> takes two<br />

attempts. displaying half the image<br />

in alternate frames. The result is a<br />

larger display but with an annoying<br />

flicker. Interlace is acceptable in<br />

some video applications but it's no<br />

good for serious Workbench work.<br />

To stop the flicker do two<br />

things: speed up the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />

video output and display the output<br />

on a suitable monitor: a TV<br />

simply isn't up to the task with its<br />

15kHz refresh rate. You can speed<br />

up the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s video output if you<br />

have an AGA chipset by using<br />

DoubleScan or MultiScan screen<br />

modes but as discussed these<br />

aren't compatible with Most PC<br />

monitors and require a dedicated<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> monitor. Instead a piece of<br />

hardware called a FlickerFixer can<br />

be used. This buffers the two halfframes<br />

and then resends them at a<br />

speed suitable for display on a PC<br />

monitor. The only FlickerFixer currently<br />

available is ScanDoubler II<br />

from Power Computing and it<br />

requires a Zorro slot.<br />

• Q. How does a<br />

graphics card work?<br />

• A. A graphics card lie Picasso<br />

or Cybervision) fits into a standard<br />

Zorro slot on big box <strong>Amiga</strong>s.<br />

has special driver software which<br />

provides extra screen modes:<br />

when you alter an application or<br />

Workbench to use these new<br />

modes, the video output appears<br />

Out of the back of the new card,<br />

As well as the drivers<br />

provided with the card, many<br />

cards are supported by a<br />

package called 'CyberGraphics'<br />

or 'CyberGFX'. This is a set of<br />

drivers which is supported by<br />

lots of applications and as long<br />

as you have the relevant drivers<br />

for your card you can make use<br />

of any software which support<br />

the CyberGFX standard. It's the<br />

nearest there is to a standard for<br />

'retargetable graphics'.<br />

• Q. What are the<br />

advantages of using a<br />

graphics card?<br />

• A. Graphics cards can open<br />

larger displays with more colours<br />

and faster refresh rates than the<br />

standard <strong>Amiga</strong> graphics chipset.<br />

As a result you can use a 256<br />

colour Workbench screen in 800<br />

by 600 pixels or better, without any<br />

flicker or shimmer. The Workbench<br />

display will work quickly, without<br />

using up a lot of Chip RAM.<br />

Unlike the normal <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

graphics modes which are based<br />

on 'bitplanes', graphics cards<br />

work in 'chunky' screen modes,<br />

which are very suited to moving<br />

around large blocks of data such<br />

as windows. Page processor/DTP<br />

programs and rendering packages<br />

such as Imagine or Cinema4D will<br />

also benefit. It's also possible to<br />

replay animations much quicker: a<br />

package such as Main Actor<br />

Professional can play back Anim<br />

files extremely fast. Apple Mac<br />

and PC emulators will also work<br />

faster with a graphics card.<br />

Although HAM8 mode can display<br />

many colours, graphics cards<br />

can display true 24-bit images. TV<br />

Paint and Photogenics can use<br />

the new graphics modes to display<br />

thousands or millions of<br />

colours very quickly so your<br />

graphics will have never looked so<br />

sharp, bright or colourful.<br />

• Q. Are there any disadvantages<br />

to the card?<br />

• A. Yes. For a start you need a<br />

suitable <strong>Amiga</strong> as all graphics<br />

cards require Zorro slots. Then<br />

you'll need a decent monitor: it<br />

would be a waste of time attempting<br />

to use a graphics card with a<br />

TV or 15kHz monitor. You need a<br />

PC style SVGA monitor and the<br />

bigger the better. If you want resolutions<br />

larger than 800 by 600<br />

you'll need a 17" monitor and<br />

that's another £500.<br />

When you do get your graphics<br />

card system connected to the new<br />

monitor, you'll find that not all programs<br />

will work. Most applications<br />

will work but hardly any games will<br />

run. This is because, for speed reasons,<br />

games don't request screen<br />

modes or perform graphics tasks<br />

via the operating system: and that<br />

means they can't be re-directed to<br />

the graphics card. So, you'll need<br />

to resort to your old monitor or TV<br />

for them. The <strong>Amiga</strong>'s standard<br />

bitplane graphics are much more<br />

video-friendly than the output from<br />

graphics cards. Smooth scrolling,<br />

genlocking and high-quality video<br />

titling is still best left to the standard<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> output.<br />

• Q. Do all graphics<br />

cards require Zorro<br />

slots? I have an Al200,<br />

am I stuck?<br />

• A. One solution is to buy<br />

a Tower Case adaptor which<br />

includes Zorro slots but that is an<br />

expensive route. A new module<br />

called Grafitti might appeal to<br />

the Zorro-less or budget minded.<br />

It connects to the standard<br />

monitor output and has special<br />

chunky graphics modes which<br />

can speed up certain applications<br />

a lot. More details when we<br />

get them. •<br />

Our investigation<br />

into Workbench's<br />

hidden nooks and<br />

crannies continues.<br />

Fonts are fun: remember<br />

that. When your<br />

DTP program is refusing<br />

to print anything<br />

even slightly resembling<br />

what is on<br />

screen, repeat it to<br />

yourself like a mantra:<br />

'fonts are fun, fonts<br />

are fun'.<br />

Whenever you see<br />

text appear on screen,<br />

you are looking at a<br />

font. The appearance<br />

and the size of the letters<br />

is determined by<br />

the typeface used and<br />

the point size of the<br />

text. You can control<br />

the fonts used by the<br />

Workbench from the Fonts<br />

Preference editor. As you use various<br />

packages and install new programs.<br />

the number of fonts you<br />

collect will grow to frightening<br />

proportions. It's worth having a<br />

clear-out every so often. If you<br />

don't, you'll find you have to wait<br />

ages every time you want to pick<br />

a font in an art pac6ge.<br />

There are two types of fonts:<br />

bitmapped isometimes called<br />

non-proportional) and scalable.<br />

The default <strong>Amiga</strong> font is called<br />

'Topaz'. The name doesn't mean<br />

anything special, it's just the title<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> designers gave to it.<br />

Topaz is a bitmapped font, which<br />

means it was designed to look<br />

good at a certain size. For example<br />

if you scale it up too far it will<br />

look blocky. Bitmap fonts are useful<br />

because they are memory efficient<br />

and fast. A good text editor<br />

such as Cygnus Ed can scroll text<br />

incredibly fast because it deals<br />

exclusively with bitmapped fonts.<br />

The disadvantage of<br />

bitmapped fonts becomes obvious<br />

when you use them in a DTP<br />

program and send them to a printer.<br />

Yuck is the word! To get<br />

around this, the <strong>Amiga</strong> uses<br />

This is a Serif Font<br />

This isn't. This is good old Helvetica. Most boring<br />

font of the year maybe. Good for headlines and<br />

once modern looking text though.<br />

This is a typeface called Times, which is often used with<br />

Helvetica. It's a serif font (i.e. it has little bits at the end of<br />

the letters) and it is easy to read when used in a small point.<br />

size. It's also used a lot in newspapers, perhaps with a typeface<br />

which has no serifs (sans serif) for headlines. Or vice versa. Those<br />

art people, you can't tell what they'll do next.<br />

A loots come in all diftereM shapes mid sins. Bitterest typefaces old sizes are chosen depeoding on circomstances amd the<br />

whim of the desigmer.<br />

Intellifonts. These are fonts<br />

which are different from<br />

bitmapped fonts in a fundamental<br />

way. Rather than storing a<br />

miniature image of each letter, a<br />

description of the text is stored.<br />

When drawing a letter A for<br />

example, the Intellifont describes<br />

the two lines meeting at an angle<br />

and the cross bar. The result is<br />

that no matter what size the letter<br />

is displayed at, it's always<br />

smooth. As you can imagine this<br />

process takes up more memory<br />

and processing speed. For DTP<br />

applications though, it's worth it.<br />

So why does your printer produce<br />

smooth text when you print<br />

a text file from a text editor or<br />

the Shell using bitmapped fonts.'<br />

Because unlike with a DTP package,<br />

the text itself is being sent<br />

to the printer. The printer can<br />

then use its internal (smooth)<br />

fonts to print it.<br />

A DIP program will not send<br />

the plain text. Instead it creates<br />

an internal image of what the<br />

printed document looks like. It<br />

then sends this image line-by-line<br />

A lbe locale elitot can dugs wheat y011ire. Vutmally.<br />

to the printer as though it were a<br />

huge graphic image. Result: the<br />

ability to include graphics and<br />

smooth fonts no matter what<br />

size they are displayed in.<br />

The fonts drawer on<br />

Workbench lab, I knew we<br />

would get around to it) stores<br />

both these types of fonts. You'll<br />

see Topaz in there: in fact, you'll<br />

see a file called Topaz.font and<br />

then a sub-directory called Topaz<br />

which contains a file for each<br />

size available.<br />

Pretty backdrops and icons<br />

Maybe you are wondering why my Workbench looks a<br />

lot less drab than yours. <strong>Is</strong> it all down to my sparkling<br />

personality? Well, partly, but a lot is also due to a<br />

Preferences program called WBPattern. Use it and you can<br />

select a standard IFF image to appear in the background<br />

of the Window or the Workbench screen.<br />

The only snag is that you are limited to the number of<br />

colours of your Workbench display. Unless you have a<br />

graphics card, anything more than sixteen can be pretty<br />

slow and memory greedy.<br />

Creating your own backdrop patterns can be an<br />

interesting evening's entertainment. I like random<br />

patterns of pastel shades, because it's still possible to<br />

read black text over them. Others prefer stone or marble<br />

textures or even digitised images.<br />

easier for programmers to provide<br />

support in multiple languages<br />

(well, English, German, French,<br />

Italian, Danish, Spanish,<br />

Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian<br />

and Dutch). There is a<br />

Preferences editor entitled<br />

'Locale' and by setting this your<br />

application would hopefully<br />

•<br />

develop the ability to speak to<br />

you in your chosen tongue. Nice<br />

idea, but few programs<br />

actually support it. It's still worth<br />

exploring mind you. If you look in<br />

locale:help/Englishisys you'll<br />

find a file called amigaguide.guide.<br />

This is the file which <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide<br />

uses when asked for help.<br />

Altering it can be both useful and<br />

amusing too.<br />

Overd rivers<br />

I recently purchased<br />

a second<br />

hand Al200 with<br />

an Archos<br />

Overdrive dualspeed<br />

CD-ROM<br />

drive plugged into the PCMCIA<br />

slot. An Archos 'Over-CD installation<br />

disk came with it but the<br />

installation does not work properly.<br />

One executable on the disk<br />

called 'update-handler' recognises<br />

that I have an EIDE CD-ROM drive<br />

present, as it copies a file called<br />

'EIDE' to the RAM-disk. The presence<br />

of this file then causes the<br />

execution of the correct part of<br />

the installer script. The problem is<br />

that the only file that gets<br />

installed is 1:overcd-handier', The<br />

installer script then tries to install<br />

some libraries into LIBS: from a<br />

disk called 'OVERCD', which I do<br />

not have.<br />

The person from who I purchased<br />

the machine insists that<br />

only one installation disk came<br />

with the drive. Do you know<br />

where I can get another set of<br />

installation disks from? In reply to<br />

Duncan Strand's letter in the<br />

September issue you stated that<br />

the Zappo and Archos CD-ROM<br />

drives are pretty much the same.<br />

If so. would Zappo CD installation<br />

software work with my CD-ROM<br />

drive? Would it be possible to<br />

replace the drive in the Archos<br />

unit with a newer faster one (say<br />

four-speed or six-speed)?<br />

Peter Barrack, Pembrokeshire.<br />

Right, first of all let's check that<br />

those missing libraries aren't on the<br />

installation disk (which you refer to<br />

as 'O<br />

ver 'OVERCTI). If they are there you<br />

-can<br />

copy them to LUIS.- by hand. If<br />

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

PC monitor<br />

I recently acquired<br />

a Philips 9CM0531<br />

00b PC colour<br />

monitor. There<br />

was no manual<br />

with it so I phoned<br />

Power Computing to ask if their<br />

VGA adaptor would work with this<br />

monitor. They said the 9 pin connection<br />

on the monitor would not<br />

fit their adaptor and recommended<br />

phoning RSD Connections in<br />

Hertford, which I did. RSD said<br />

there should be no problem connecting<br />

my Al200 to the Philips<br />

monitor. They supplied me with<br />

an adaptor cable but-I could not<br />

get a picture on the monitor from<br />

Workbench. I got a pale multiple<br />

image when I tried the game<br />

Soccer Kid on it.<br />

I wrote to RSD but they replied<br />

that they only supplied cables and<br />

could not help with technical<br />

advice. <strong>Is</strong> there anything I can do<br />

to get this working or is it just a<br />

case of incompatibility and f15<br />

wasted on a cable?<br />

Peter Collins, Tipperary Town.<br />

Good news: you should be able to<br />

get your monitor working with your<br />

Al200. You need to select a VGA<br />

compatible screen mode from the<br />

Workbench preferences. This<br />

A written letter receives<br />

full attention and we try<br />

our best to come up with a<br />

solution. It's good to talk<br />

but it's better to write.<br />

monitor will not display video screen<br />

modes, the default screen type selected<br />

by your Al200. Soccer Kid (and<br />

most other games) will not work on<br />

this monitor because they too use a<br />

video screen mode. There's no way<br />

you can change the screen mode<br />

used by most arcade-style games. so<br />

you'll have to use a TV or a videocapable<br />

monitor to view those.<br />

SoundStudio<br />

I have a few<br />

points concerning<br />

OctaMED<br />

SoundStudio.<br />

1., When I try to<br />

use the echo<br />

effect in a fairly big module I get<br />

'not enough memory' even<br />

though I have a 4Mb RAM card<br />

2. To get SoundStudio to work<br />

without the owner check failing, I<br />

have to put the entire disks'<br />

contents into the RAM disk. Why<br />

is this?<br />

3. My setup is an Al200 with<br />

6Mb of RAM and a Gillet Micro<br />

Mixer. When I try to use the pan<br />

effect '2E' you can't notice the<br />

effect. But I still want to put my<br />

modules through the Micro Mixer.<br />

4. Most of my breakbeats are<br />

split and saved as segments (ie.<br />

'bass shot.amen', 'snareriffl,arnen'<br />

etc). I know very little<br />

about ARexx scripts but I want to<br />

write a script that would load all<br />

the relative segments of a sample<br />

when I clicked on just the first.<br />

5. Where and how do you get the<br />

Startup.omed script to work? I<br />

would like SoundStudio to load a<br />

metronome module with a 4/4<br />

beat as a default. I can get it to<br />

work from a keypress but I'd<br />

much rather just have it work<br />

automatically every time I start<br />

new module.<br />

8. I'm on a tight budget. Can you

---

ecommend a 50MHz accelerator<br />

for about 1200?<br />

Mike Fishwick, <strong>Is</strong>le of Wight.<br />

I. First check you have '1-64 channel<br />

mixing' selected from the Song<br />

Options window. If so, try altering<br />

the size of the Mix Buffer from the<br />

Mix Settings window.<br />

2. We're not sure on this one. Ours<br />

works fine when installed to hard<br />

drive from floppies, although the CD<br />

version requires the disc to be in the<br />

CD drive even if loading from the<br />

hard drive.<br />

3. This panning effect works fine for<br />

us, As with question I. check that '1-<br />

64 channel mixing' is enabled. Also<br />

make sure you are using the correct<br />

values (FO-FE for left and (10-10 for<br />

right panning).<br />

4. This is tricky. We're starting up a<br />

whole new ARexx series very soon,<br />

so keep 'em peeled — that should sort<br />

you out.<br />

5. Likewise, an ARexx tutorial is<br />

really in order here.<br />

6. The cheapest 030 accelerator for<br />

your Al200 is the Magnum 030 card.<br />

which is available with a very capable<br />

40mHz 68030, optional FPI; and<br />

no RAM for 1139.99 from Wizard<br />

Developments (MI: 01322 527 800).<br />

The Blizzard cards available from<br />

Gordon Harwoods have just been<br />

reduced in price and are now better<br />

buys than ever. The 1230 Mk 4 (with<br />

a 50mHz 030 and MAIO is now<br />

1159.99. Call Harwoods on 01773<br />

836 781 for details.<br />

If your existing RAM card has<br />

a SLWM on it, check before hand<br />

with your dealer because you<br />

should be able to carry it over to your<br />

new accelerator.<br />

CD music<br />

Can I sample<br />

snatches of audio<br />

CDs for use within<br />

OctaMED 5.04?<br />

My CD-ROM<br />

details are as<br />

follows: Make: Matshita<br />

Model: CR-581 Quad Speed<br />

Unit: 1 Device: Tandemat_PCM-<br />

CIA.device<br />

<strong>Is</strong> this possible with my current<br />

set up or is separate software or a<br />

dedicated sample needed?<br />

Graeme Milne, Northumberland. •<br />

Certain types of CD-ROM drives can<br />

pass the sample data from audio CD<br />

tracks across to your <strong>Amiga</strong>. There<br />

are a few tools available from the<br />

public domain which will allow you<br />

to do this, such as AudioLab 16 for<br />

example (which was included in a<br />

rather earlier form on our <strong>CU</strong>CD II).<br />

our particular drive is not listed as<br />

being compatible with it, but that<br />

doesn't mean that it's not. Try hunting<br />

down that and any other similar<br />

software (search PD CDs for -<br />

cdda" which is short for CD digital audio).<br />

PCMCIA RAM<br />

I've had lily <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

1200 for almost a<br />

year now and<br />

since I purchased<br />

it I have been trying<br />

all over Hull<br />

and the local area to find anywhere<br />

that sells memory cards for<br />

the PCMCIA port, but as yet I<br />

have had no luck, Any ideas<br />

where I might get one?<br />

Paul Collins, North Humberside.<br />

A PCMCIA RAM card will be slower<br />

and probably more expensive than<br />

an equivalent RAM card for your<br />

trapdoor expansion slot, so you may<br />

as well ditch that idea. .4 trapdoor<br />

RAM card will free up your PCM-<br />

CIA slot for other peripherals, such<br />

as a CD-ROM drive, a video digitiser,<br />

hard drive and so on. If you're determined<br />

to get a PCMCIA RAM card<br />

you might try looking ay some PC<br />

dealer's adverts. These should work<br />

fine in your <strong>Amiga</strong>, even if they are a<br />

bit slow.<br />

Cheap° CD32<br />

I have required<br />

a CD-ROM drive<br />

for my Al200 for<br />

some time now<br />

and recently have<br />

been offered a<br />

CD32 for £99.99. Please could<br />

you help me by answering the<br />

following questions:<br />

1. <strong>Is</strong> it true that a CD32 could<br />

be connected to an Al200 via a<br />

Parnet cable, or indeed any<br />

other cable?<br />

2. Would the above connection<br />

enable both the Al200 and the<br />

CD32 to share the CD-ROM, the<br />

hard drive, and the floppies?<br />

Or at least could the Al200<br />

access the CD-ROM in a fast and<br />

reliable way?<br />

3. Where can I get a Parnet cable<br />

from, and for how much, or could<br />

I make one?<br />

4. What is the speed of the<br />

CD32's drive?<br />

5. <strong>Is</strong> there any difference<br />

between the Al200 and the CD32<br />

internally?<br />

6. Has the CD32 got stereo<br />

sound outputs for connection to<br />

an amplifier and will the machine<br />

play music CDs?<br />

7. <strong>Is</strong> 1100 a good price to pay for<br />

a brand new CD32?<br />

8. <strong>Is</strong> it possible to attach a floppy<br />

drive to the CD32 and load<br />

Workbench? Can a keyboard be<br />

attached also?<br />

C Purle, Lancashire.<br />

1. Yes you can.<br />

2* Yes, but the data transfer rate is<br />

not very fast.<br />

3. You can get all the necessary software<br />

and cables from Marpet<br />

Developments for 124.95. They<br />

call the package CD32 S-PORT<br />

Call them on 01423 712 600 for<br />

more details.<br />

4. It's a double speed drive.<br />

5. Yes there are a few differences, but<br />

the CD32 is based on the AI200.<br />

6. Yes it has stereo audio outputs and<br />

will play audio CDs.<br />

7. You could probably get one cheaper<br />

if you shop around.<br />

8. Not without adding an expander<br />

system, such as the C1)32<br />

ProModule, as reviewed in the July<br />

1996 issue of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine.<br />

Talking trash<br />

<strong>Is</strong> It true? Did the<br />

Gurus at <strong>CU</strong><br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine<br />

actually advise<br />

people to format<br />

their hard drive,<br />

just to eliminate an annoying<br />

trashcan (Masterclass, <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

September 96)? What nonsense.<br />

There are two perfectly simple<br />

ways of removing a trashcan from<br />

a directory. These are as follows:<br />

1. Open a Shell and type 'delete<br />

workbench3.0:trashcan#?'. This<br />

will delete both the trashcan and<br />

its icon.<br />

2. Use the IconEdit program supplied<br />

with Workbench to change<br />

the trashcan icon into a drawer<br />

icon (Type menu, select Drawer),<br />

save the changes then delete the<br />

trashcan from Workbench by<br />

selecting it and using Delete from<br />

the Icon menu,<br />

There, now isn't that a lot easier<br />

than reformatting your entire<br />

hard disk? Not mention a-damn<br />

site safer. I will consider this a<br />

brief lapse of concentration on<br />

your behalf and trust it will not<br />

happen again.<br />

Scott Strachan, Portsmouth.<br />

Yes, you could do either of those<br />

things, but John says that if you follow<br />

point one and then at a later date<br />

selected Empty Trash (either deliberately<br />

or by accident) the system may<br />

well get confused and do something<br />

rather horrid. When faced with your<br />

second suggestion John says that<br />

yes, you can go right ahead an do<br />

what you like with your Trashcan,<br />

getting rather tired of the whole<br />

affair, perhaps wishing he never<br />

mentioned it in the first place. But<br />

he's not wrong!<br />

Oh go on •••<br />

In Kays Catalogue I saw an <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

1200 Internet Surfer pack with<br />

2Mb of RAM expandable to<br />

4Mb for £629.99. <strong>Is</strong> this a good<br />

purchase? I am looking for a computer<br />

that can handle graphics,<br />

wordprocessing etc as well as<br />

having good gaming capabilities.<br />

Also, as I use a Mac and PC<br />

computers on a daily basis I was<br />

wondering if there was a piece of<br />

software that can translate <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

files into PC format and vice-versa<br />

(le a program similar to Apple<br />

File Exchange on the Mac) as this<br />

would greatly benefit me and<br />

my studies.<br />

And finally, with all the speculation<br />

surrounding the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />

future, I was wondering if the<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> would continue to be one<br />

of the leading home computers.<br />

Tony Smith, N Ireland<br />

First of all, yes it's a good buy,<br />

although the Internet software in the<br />

bundle is now quite dated. Once<br />

you're on-line you can get all the latest<br />

from the Internet. The <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

1200 can actually be expanded to at<br />

least 130Mb RAM with cards such as<br />

the Blizzard 1230140160 range, not<br />

just 4Mb. Yes, a's excellent for graphics<br />

and productivity software and also<br />

has a wide variety of games available.<br />

You don't need any extra software.<br />

The .41200 comes with Cross-Dos as<br />

standard, which will read and write to<br />

PC format disks, as well as format<br />

them from scratch. Mac disk emulation<br />

systems are also available. As for<br />

the machine's future, it's holding up<br />

3 editat<br />

By Alen Dykes<br />

I would like to take this opportunity%<br />

my last as it turns out, to comment on<br />

the situation the <strong>Amiga</strong> community<br />

finds itself in at the moment. On one<br />

hand tens of thousands of people are<br />

still buying <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine, still<br />

enjoying it and still finding it the<br />

invaluable source of information it<br />

always has been. On the other hand<br />

magazines are closing down and software<br />

houses are deserting <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

because sales aren't as high as they<br />

Accusations of recycfmg are fully justified,<br />

but what the hell, if Stock, Altkawl and<br />

Watennan could do it why can't Senstble?<br />

were. And who can blame them? You<br />

can't survive.on good will alone.<br />

But don't let the begrudgers drag<br />

you down. Mail order sales of CD<br />

software, of hardware, of games<br />

even, is stronger than the charts let<br />

on. If people can't get games in shops<br />

by golly they'll get them elsewhere,<br />

and many of•these sales will not be<br />

recorded by those who compile<br />

charts. You haven't been able to get<br />

productivity software in shops for<br />

years now but that hasn't stopped<br />

people upgrading via mail order to<br />

later, more powerful versions.<br />

Sour power<br />

Some weeks ago Stuart Campbell, ex-<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> Power staffer (a mag sadly no<br />

longer with us - and pretty sad too<br />

while it was), penned a typically<br />

vitriolic put-down of <strong>Amiga</strong> games<br />

sales for the console dominated TV<br />

A<br />

Teletext report Digitizer. Mr Campbell<br />

is a respected computer games<br />

journalist of considerable experience,<br />

and even if his reference to <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Power's 'mighty oaken doors' is a little<br />

overstated - token would have been<br />

more accurate for the last 12 months<br />

considering its size and its anti-<strong>Amiga</strong><br />

attitude - he should certainly be taken<br />

seriously. Or should he?<br />

His report centred around sales of<br />

three games in July, with figures<br />

complied from the GalluptELSPA<br />

charts top ten. The three games were<br />

Gloom (no position stated), Premier<br />

Manager 3 (number 5) and Worms<br />

Inumber 2). The first sold 118 units.<br />

Hmm. The second sold 332. Deane<br />

me, Worms sqld 526 copies. Oh no!<br />

More information on total sales follows<br />

and, getting out his calculator.<br />

Stuart works out that Worms has sold<br />

approximately 19,666 copies on<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> since it was launched. <strong>Is</strong> that<br />

including or excluding the 526 in sold<br />

July? Never mind. By the way Team<br />

17 disagree with his sales figures but<br />

he's using industry standard information<br />

so let's stick with it.<br />

Fact finding<br />

What Mr Campbell fails to point out is<br />

that each of these games has been<br />

on sale for over six months. Gloom<br />

Deluxe is no doubt the version of<br />

Gloom he is referring to (it's the only<br />

one on sale in my local HMV), which<br />

is itself a 10 month old sequel to a<br />

game well-nigh 18 months old.<br />

Premier Manager 3? Another old<br />

sequel. Worms, the only original<br />

game, was also released before<br />

Christmas 1995. Using Stuart's<br />

gloomy benchmark figures would<br />

mean that at an average of just over<br />

500 games per month Worms would,<br />

even by now, have sold just 5500<br />

copies and not the 19,666 he himself<br />

quotes (that's 500 per month for<br />

the 11 or so months it has now been<br />

on sale for).<br />

But hold on. is it possible the<br />

reason these games aren't selling well<br />

is that they're just too damn old now.<br />

No doubt the vast majority of Worms'<br />

total sales were achieved within the<br />

first month or two, like any piece of<br />

software. You see these three old<br />

timers are still in the top ten because<br />

nothing has ever been released<br />

that's worthy of replacing them there.<br />

You can't have sales without<br />

products to sell!<br />

Another odd omission was the<br />

number 1 game that month. No prizes<br />

for guessing what it was, I'm not<br />

suggesting that SWOS is selling<br />

tens of thousands every month, but<br />

it's ahead of Worms and due to<br />

Warner's policy of bringing out a new<br />

version almost every time the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

community breaths the game remains<br />

at the top. Accusations of recycling<br />

are fully justified, but what the hell. if<br />

Stock Aitken and Waterman could do<br />

it why can't Sensible ? The real point<br />

is that you can't sell the same old<br />

stuff forever, it has a shelf life and if it<br />

isn't replaced it won't be sold. A<br />

computer format cannot hope to<br />

survive long if its manufacturers keep<br />

going out of business either.<br />

Software producers will always<br />

pick the newest and most exciting<br />

platform to develop for, If and when<br />

VIScorp finally conclude their buyout,<br />

produce or licence for production the<br />

next generation <strong>Amiga</strong> and manage to<br />

avoid the receiver, things will change.<br />

But in the meantime there are still lots<br />

of people out there looking for the<br />

latest NEW software to run on their<br />

Al 200s, and where there is demand<br />

legitimate supply usually follows (in<br />

the free world anyway).<br />

If you want the <strong>Amiga</strong> to stay<br />

around then remember you have the<br />

power to keep it going. You could do<br />

worse than trying to program your<br />

own games and applications: anything<br />

is possible. As Jean-Luc Picard would<br />

say: 'Make It So'. •<br />

BACKCHAT<br />

Last month, it was Spain, this time it's the Italians<br />

who are having their say concerning our Euroscene<br />

feature. And one brave young boy takes on the<br />

software publishers. <strong>Is</strong>n't it time you wrote in?<br />

tter of the Month<br />

inspiration to us all<br />

I originally got an <strong>Amiga</strong> 500 about six or seven years ago to play games on. Every boy in my<br />

year had one, it was the in thing to have and we had them because we enjoyed playing<br />

i<br />

g<br />

• the purpose of playing better games. The Al200 was bought to play AGA games, the<br />

CD-ROM drive to play CD32 games and the Blizzard to play new Doom clones such as IKG.<br />

a<br />

However, I have become increasingly frustrated by the lack of new games coming out that<br />

mreally<br />

push my system to the limit. I wrote to a number of games companies asking them why<br />

egames<br />

such as Putty Squad. TFX and Myst were never released. I am asking that other <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

s users do this and join together to write similar letters to publishers so we can finally see<br />

. games such as TFX and Putty Squad which I am sure would be a huge success on the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />

SI<br />

believe that if all the active <strong>Amiga</strong> games users group together and pressurise the publishers<br />

i we could get more games in the shops that people actually want to buy. The <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />

have grown up, we are no longer a group of school kids with A500s but a group of students<br />

n<br />

with <strong>Amiga</strong>s which are easily a match for some of today's PCs. I feel that the software indus-<br />

c<br />

try needs to be told what the other underlying trends in the <strong>Amiga</strong> games market are So<br />

e please write to them and let them know that you are out there. Remember it is always games<br />

t that sell home computer systems not hardware specs or business software, Therefore the<br />

hfuture<br />

of the <strong>Amiga</strong> still lies with quality games.<br />

e<br />

n Richard Hunter, Nottingham.<br />

I<br />

That's what we like to hear: stories about people who are actively doing something to keep the<br />

h<br />

miga alive and make people ware that there is still a huge amount of people out there ready and<br />

awilling<br />

to part with lots of cash.<br />

v<br />

e<br />

u<br />

A few ideas<br />

p<br />

right, but I agree with Grant Sutcliffe (Backchat,<br />

g<br />

About eight months ago I sold my <strong>Amiga</strong> 1200 Sep 96) these will be over priced machines for<br />

and I finally started to use a PC I bought about a the average user. The Al200 market is desper-<br />

r<br />

year and a half ago, after selling my A4000. ate for a cheap machine that is very powerful.<br />

aHowever,<br />

I just could not get on witfrthe PC so A better idea would be if the Al200 mother-<br />

d purchased a secondhand Al200 until<br />

board was upgraded with PC components. The<br />

eWindows<br />

'95 turned up. Even so, I still buy your operating system could be modified to make<br />

d magazine because the PC world is so dead (it's use of the new chips, so the processor would<br />

tall<br />

business or games, no productivity) and stay the same but increase to 40MHz, with an<br />

o<br />

there is just no magazine like yours for the PC. I option of an accelerator board in the trap-door,<br />

think it's because the <strong>Amiga</strong> had this great fam- which would contain an Intel chip (a Pentium),<br />

a<br />

ily behind it who are dedicated users squeezing which would allow the user to use the machine<br />

n the last bit out of the machine, whereas PC as an <strong>Amiga</strong> or a PC. Hopefully the machine<br />

Acoders<br />

just expect you to upgrade your proces- would cost in the E400-E500 price range.<br />

lsor<br />

or RAM_ And now you have put a CD on the<br />

2cover.<br />

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

0sound<br />

modules, etc on my PC. giving me a little<br />

0<br />

bit of the <strong>Amiga</strong> again_ Thanks_<br />

Surely that would make it a PC? And it would be<br />

I think that Phase 5, etc have got the idea expensive. Sorry.<br />

B<br />

i<br />

Are you listening?<br />

Attention games developers for the<br />

PowerPC<strong>Amiga</strong> and VisCorp/AT. If the new<br />

machine is to get off the ground outside the<br />

current <strong>Amiga</strong> community, it needs a really<br />

good advertising plan, i.e bill-boards and TV<br />

ads, maybe even an advert in The Times'<br />

'Interface' supplement. A slogan could be:<br />

'The Technophobes' Computer For The<br />

Future', indicating the fact that the <strong>Amiga</strong> is<br />

an easy-to-use, easy-to-set up computer.<br />

None of this 'Plug 'n' Play Multimedia' junk.<br />

Also, to all the software developers out<br />

there: get quality games in the stores 'to coincide<br />

with the release of the machine. The<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> community wants, nay, needs top<br />

games if the PPC is going to compete with<br />

Bill Gates' monster. Games such as<br />

Command and Conquer. Quake. Duke Nukem<br />

3D, Resident Evil and the like really need to<br />

be programmed, but BETTER. PC? Pa!<br />

ROM cards please<br />

We all remember the days when the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

was the ultimate home computer, when all<br />

graphics artists used DPaint and all gamesplayers<br />

played the latest games like<br />

Lemmings. But all this has changed now, it<br />

looks like the PC is winning the race as the<br />

ultimate home computer. This is mainly due to<br />

CD-ROM drives being standard on all PCs. But<br />

there is something <strong>Commodore</strong> made standard<br />

also. Are we forgetting the <strong>Amiga</strong> 600<br />

and <strong>Amiga</strong> 1200 both came equipped with<br />

PCMCIA slots as standard? When the A600<br />

was launched, everyone thought we would be<br />

seeing new ROM card software. But software<br />

developers didn't do this mainly because most<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> owners had<br />

, though, A500s almost every <strong>Amiga</strong> owner is an<br />

i<br />

41200<br />

n s<br />

owner,<br />

t e a<br />

if not at least an A600 owner. So<br />

d<br />

I urge<br />

.<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> software developers to start<br />

developing ROM cards! It may make it the ulti-<br />

N<br />

mate storage<br />

o<br />

device! And to the readers of<br />

wthis<br />

excellent magazine to write or Email them.<br />

From Joe Betro, Croydon.<br />

You're great<br />

After reading your magazine for years I decided<br />

to finally write in and<br />

1. Commend you on a brilliant magazine<br />

(suck up). The cover mounted software,

---

it on CD or disk is excellent. Also thank<br />

u for recognising that the Al200 is now the<br />

standard <strong>Amiga</strong> and making most of the<br />

cover mounted software run only on<br />

machines like these ( it might encourage<br />

people to finally upgrade). Thanks also for<br />

your awesome homepage. It is one of the<br />

best I've seen in ages.<br />

2. Grumble about all the people writing in<br />

and whining about not having the money to<br />

upgrade so software developers should make<br />

their software 1.3 compatible.<br />

I didn't have a proper job until three months<br />

ago. Until then I was working for E25 a week.<br />

However. I still have enough money for your<br />

magazine, I also scrounged enough for an<br />

accelerator and 4Mb of ram. If you don't have<br />

the money for the magazine don't write in and<br />

whine, these guys need to make a living too. If<br />

you don't want to fork out the dosh for<br />

hard/software then send it down here, my<br />

friends and I will buy it. We are not afraid of<br />

upgrading. Between the four of us we have<br />

102Mb of Ram 6 Gig of Hard Disk space, 2 Zip<br />

Drives, 10 Zip Disks, 2 4000/040's, 1<br />

12001030, 112001020. 3 SCSI cards, 1<br />

Cybergraphics board, 1 Flat Bed scanner,<br />

$1000's in software, 1 modem, 1 multiface<br />

card, 2 CannonBJ4000, 1 Panasonic KX-P1180,<br />

1 Laser printer. Over here if you want to run<br />

the software you either grin and bear or you<br />

upgrade — you just don't moan about it.<br />

A collector's item<br />

I have been an <strong>Amiga</strong> user for over eight<br />

years now and have been a <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine reader for most of that time.<br />

Inevitably then I have a lot of <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

Magazine cover disks,<br />

My collection presently stands at 131<br />

disks, ranging from cover disk 139 on the<br />

,<br />

fback<br />

to cover disk eight from October 1990<br />

rwhich<br />

features a playable demo of Robocop2<br />

for any advice.<br />

Al Angus, Edinburgh.<br />

For the record<br />

With regard to your August issue, I noticed a<br />

letter about minimum quantities of record<br />

pressing. Actually, the minimum in Europe is<br />

by a very reliable company called<br />

Gramafonove Zavody in the Czech Republic<br />

FAX: 0042 311 962143. They are also<br />

extremely cheap and offer pressing run quantities<br />

as low as a 100 units!<br />

I would also like to take this opportunity to<br />

thank you for running the <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong>fFCI<br />

Internet offer, which I took full advantage of.<br />

The process was cheap and simple and I can<br />

now take my record label onto the net.<br />

Thanks also go the those support guys at FCI<br />

whose patience and advice was invaluable.<br />

Justin Mitchell, Cold Spring Records.<br />

Thanks for the tip off.<br />

A show of support<br />

After reading Andrew Clarke's letter in<br />

August's <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine, I rang The<br />

Computer Store he referred to, to confirm<br />

that they had CO32 games in stock. I then<br />

drove my son to Doncaster, where he bought<br />

six games (five CD32s and one <strong>Amiga</strong> ) for<br />

less than £28.<br />

So. I have a suggestion. If <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />

know of a local retailer who is supporting this<br />

vastly under-rated computer of ours, write to<br />

<strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine and make it known. This<br />

will make it easier for other users to find the<br />

Software they want locally, it rewards local<br />

outlets for supporting our forsaken format. So<br />

here's two to kick off with: Game in<br />

Meadowhall, Sheffield stock games for both<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> and CD32 and at Virtual reality, also in<br />

Meadowhall, I recently bought AB3D for a<br />

mere f5.97.<br />

David Green, South Yorkshire.<br />

This is good news to hear David. Yes we would be<br />

very interested in hearing from other readers who<br />

want to mention a particular store that is support.<br />

lag the <strong>Amiga</strong> in their area. Please send in the<br />

details to got it here', <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine,<br />

Priory Court, 30-32 Farringdon Lane, London<br />

ECIR<br />

Tight wads<br />

Who the hell do those <strong>Amiga</strong> owners who<br />

say 'Why won't The Killing Grounds work on<br />

my .5Mb A500 (V1.2)'... think they are? The<br />

rest of us go and spend hard earned cash on<br />

accelerators and RAM upgrades in order to<br />

keep the technology/scene moving, but these<br />

BACKCHAT<br />

maggots seem to be oblivious to this fact<br />

How many 286/8086 owners query why<br />

they can't run Quake or GP2 ? None because<br />

they'd never get over the slagging. Now I<br />

have both an A4000 and a Pentium PC. But<br />

technology marches ever onwards. I started<br />

off with an Atari 800XL and upgraded to the<br />

A500 then to the 41200 then added 4Mb/CD<br />

Rom, sold it and bought etc etc So this<br />

is how it works. And if people cannot appreciate<br />

this then too bad.<br />

I just read in your mag Worms (V1.5!!) is<br />

AGA only GOOD, ABOUT TIME why should<br />

I have to suffer because certain people won't<br />

upgrade. I invested time and money in my<br />

machine and I should be able to enjoy the<br />

benefits. Games like the Killing Grounds kick<br />

ass on faster machines and this rings true<br />

with many other types of games: racing,<br />

adventure etc.<br />

In the club<br />

I have been using the <strong>Amiga</strong> for about three<br />

years and have collected quite a few emulators.<br />

As I have not heard of an Emulators<br />

club for the <strong>Amiga</strong> I would like to start a club<br />

of my own. I would like feedback from anyone<br />

using emulators or people who are interested<br />

in using them can get in touch with me<br />

Those crazy cows<br />

I am an old Italian <strong>Amiga</strong> user and I want to<br />

congratulate you on an interesting magazine.<br />

I've bought <strong>CU</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine since<br />

1992 and, in my opinion, the 'Workshop' is<br />

the most useful section.<br />

However, I'm writing to remonstrate you<br />

aoout the article which appeared on <strong>CU</strong><br />

August 1996 page 28. In the submitted article<br />

Mr Alan Bunker wrote that my county<br />

is 'famous for: Ferraris; fashion; MAFIA'.<br />

Thank GOD he forgot about 'Spaghetti;<br />

Mandolin; Pizza and Luciano Pavarotti'. But<br />

above all I want to know how you feel E .<br />

about discovering that in other countries<br />

the UK is known only for: the crazy [mad]<br />

cows; hooligans and sexual interlacements<br />

in the Royal Family.'<br />

Also, Mr. Bunker should inform himself<br />

before writing an article like this because<br />

there are other magazines apart from The<br />

Games Machine which cover the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

such as 'Jackson <strong>Amiga</strong> Magazine' (81 pages<br />

with 1 disk full of PO), 'Enigma <strong>Amiga</strong> Run'<br />

(CD-Rom); '<strong>Amiga</strong> Byte' etc These magazines<br />

deal with the <strong>Amiga</strong> only. and don't<br />

just delegate it only eight pages so they can<br />

pack in as many readers as possible.<br />

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

mercially licenced software you won't find an interface as<br />

a<br />

easy-to-use as NetConnect'sl 3 We have spoken at length to so<br />

fmany eof our w customers about ry getting onto the Internet - we know<br />

vexactly a what r you i need a and what e you want. You want software you<br />

bCan USE l e- not sshareware<br />

but commercial software, you want the<br />

hassle taken out of the installation and you want a suite of the<br />

very best <strong>Amiga</strong> Internet software. Indeed, to make NetCorinect<br />

the very best we organised programmers to enhance their software<br />

- so you get previously non-released software. NetConnect<br />

contains a full TCP client worth over E35 in itself! You can save<br />

masses of Ett's from buying NetConnect as there is no need to<br />

licence the Internet software - full versions all licenced for you!<br />

NetConnect's GUI does more than control/manage ArniTCP! It also<br />

gives you a completely editable icon bar (see pica), a "Tools<br />

n•ir-mon" style menu system and also a time accumulator (which<br />

.vds you to monitor time on the Internet and costs (which are<br />

much cheaper than people think!). No other Internet pack meets the<br />

specifications of NetConnect! Ask for a demo version for ;proof!<br />
