itself 

has been 

in a stranglehold. 

said before. It 

No-one 

will be 

. _ else 15 killing our machine but the 

users, companies, and publishers that are 

supposed to be supporting it. 

We all think the software bundle that 

accompanies every Amiga these days is the 

best yet, a smashing set of products, but the 

only problem with giving away all this nice 

software is that it reduces the chances that 

anyone will bother to buy anything else. If 

you supply a machine with everything its 

owner is likely to need, where's their 

incentive to go and spend some more 

money'? 

Sony themselves said that they purposely 

didn't bundle any software with their 

PlayStation console for the specific reason of 

getting people to fork out more cash for 

something to play on it. And everyone knows 

that in the console game, software is where 

the money is made_ Perhaps future bundles 

should concentrate more on shareware 

products or ones that definitely don't fulfill 

the potential of the machine. This might also 

cost a lot less for AT than market leaders 

would, thus saving some cash for R&D or 

perhaps adding in a larger hard drive. 

RIPPED OFF 

Magazine publishers are as much at fault 

with a seemingly endless stream of full product 

coverdisks that will soon dry up as publishers 

realise they will get no further revenue 

from sales to end users. This approach 

also alienates the end users who have paid 

good money for a product, only to find it for 

free on the front of a magazine six months 

down the line.Now I don't subscribe to the 

theory that these people have been ripped 

off - they've had six months of usage out of 

that program, they have proper documentation 

and (possibly) support and a firm 

upgrade path - but there are those that do. 

We at Amigo Computing have pretty much 

(only pretty much) given up on the idea of 

selling our souls for a quick buck as we have 

realised that the demise of the Amiga market 

can only be accelerated by such behaviour, 

and we are concentrating on offering our 

readers the best demos of new products or 

registered shareware which actually helps 

the Amiga community, or even our collection

of utilities from Aminet and elsewhere. After 

all, some blame must be laid at the publishers' 

doors for entering into the deal with the 

magazines for their products anyway. 

If they were more willing to create demos 

of their products rather than simply dump 

out old versions, readers could get a look at 

new software and then, and here's the 

secret, go out and buy it._ ...provided, of 

course, they can still find someone who sells 

Amiga software_ Retailers are never happy to 

see something they have in stock appearing 

on The front of the magazine because it 

means they have wasted money on stock 

that is never going to be sold - perhaps this 

is another reason there are so few dealers

1 Does bundling 

software or 

putting it on 

coverdisks kill 

the market? Ben 

I Vost thinks so 

willing to stock Amiga software any more. 

I'm not asking anyone to boycott magazines 

that put full software on their covers, 

that would be unrealistic. But unless something 

changes in the very near future, there 

won't be any more programs to put on 

coverdisks because the publishers will have 

gone down the pan, the users will have sold 

their Amigas, and AT will be left holding 

stock of thousands of unwanted Amigas for 

which there is no market, lust thought you 

ought to know... izq

products available though Guildhall Leisure. 

, The Guildhall name may ring a bell amongst 

those who browse our games section as the

titles such as Gloom from Black Magic and 

Super Skidmarks from Acid Software. 

The range of software from 10/10 has

D32 SOLUTION 

n Th. now W(3 2 tra m Eya toolt pro vide s a pa rta bla ntultknodia solution 

yetech have announced 

their plans to make the 

best out of the CD32. Disappointed 

by the lack of expansion 

facilities and input/output connectors, 

they are now releasing the 

SX32 expansion unit to provide a 

portable Amiga solution with builtin 

CD-ROM. Claiming to be 'everything 

the SX 1 should have been' it 

fits in the CD32's FMV slot and 

incorporates the Amiga serial, parallel, 

video and floppy disk connections. 

As well as having a standard 

15-pin VGA monitor connector, it 

also allows the addition of a 2.5 

inch hard disk drive and a 72-pin 

BALL FOR ACTION ON PIRACY 

A ccording to industry paper, OW, some of the big games firms are calling for a 

separate body to fight piracy. Currently, ELSPA (the Entertainment and leisure 

Software Publishers Association) have their Anti-Piracy Crime Unit dealing with the problem. 

However, following the recent news that the Police and Trading Standards could refuse to 

take action against pirates unless the industry actually provides more resources themselves, 

some of the major players are suggesting that ELSPA's Anti-Piracy Unit is made into an 

independent body. 

This, they believe, will make the industry more focused on the problem. ELSPA answered 

by saying that the suggestion had not been thought out properly and that the Crime Unit 

worked as a standalone organisation anyway. 

SIMM within the CO32 Eyetech 

believe that as the SX32 only sticks 

out 1 centimetre more than the 

normal CD32, and because of it's 

sturdy attachment, it makes it an 

ideal portable, low cost, multimedia 

option. The compatible 

keyboards and floppy disk drives 

are also available from Eyetech. 

The 5X32 comes with a Workbench 

3 CD which also has various utili- 

ties and PD/Shareware programs. 

The SX32 is E199.95, the Compact 

Amiga Keyboard, E34.95 and 

External floppy disk drive E44.95 

(UK prices). Contact 01642

Now we have your attention, we just want to 

say thanks for the great response we've hod 

to our Reader Surveys. Still keep them 

coming though - there's no free beer (that 

was a cheap trick) but there is E200 worth 

of software and hardware tailored to your 

computer's needs up for grabs. 

We'll put your surveys into a draw and 

the lucky winner will be announced in our 

100th issue. All your entries must be 

received by 6 April, so send them to Reader

ON THE MOVE 

Amiga distributors SDL have announced 

that the company are set to move to new 

premises in Woking. SOL, which also incorporates 

the retail chain Silica, were recently 

saved from financial stri r by a take over by 

the Anglo Corporation. 

The move will mean expansion for the 

company as the new site is around 10,000 

square feet bigger than their current premises. 

However, although all the current staff 

have been offered jobs at the new site, it's 

thought that some staff may not wish to 

relocate.

EXTRACTING 

COVERDISK FILES 

Before any where you even near think your of computer putting thec youcitks 

. make I sure d you write protect them by moving 

the black tab in the top corner of the disk so 

ou can see through the hole. Doing this 

kes sure you cannot damage your disks in 

y way. There is also no reason why the 

erdisks need to be written to, so even if the 

mputer asks you to write enable the disks, 

n't do it 

To extract the programs off the second disk 

u must make sure you have booted your 

mputer with the first coverdisk, otherwise 

our Amiga will not be able to find the 

nstaller program, and frustration will soon 

in- 

To extract any single archive, simply double- 

Kk its icon, and follow the on screen instrucns_

love it, some 

people hate it, 

but whichever 

type of person 

you may be 

you cannot 

deny that MUI 

programs look 

very attractive 

and are very easy to use. 

This version of the coverdisk is an unregistered 

version of MUI 3.3 and has had many 

speed improvements added to it. Most 

importantly, the routines that create MUI 

objects, these being any part of the interface 

buttons and so on, have been re-written in

redrawing of the GUI is much faster than 

before. These speed improvements really 

shine through on slower machines because 

they benefit the most from the increased 

speed. There are also a number of important 

bug fixes introduced in the last few versions. 

Once you have extracted MUI from the 

coverdisk into RAM you need to install it onto 

you hard drive. If you do not already have a 

copy of MUI this version will only require 

around 1.5Mb of space, but can be reduced 

to about BOOk if you do not install any of the 

documentation, extra images or demo 

programs that are worth a look but are not 

necessary. 

Installation is very simple thanks to the 

well written Amiga installer script You should 

really choose the Inte mediate install level as 

this will allow you 

to choose exactly 

where the MUI 

drawer and all the 

MUI files should

The version of MUI on the coverdisk is unregistered which still allows you to run all MUI 

programs which have many advantages over your normal Gadtool interfaces, but you will 

be stuck with the standard Gadtools look. 

The full version of Magic User Interface allows you to tailor almost every pixel of each

SCOUT 

Author: Andreas Gelhausen 

Magic User Interlace 

Workbench 2.04 

Scout is a system monitor which allows you to 

find out many things about the state of your 

computer such as libraries, windows, resident 

commands, tasks, interrupts, ports, memory and 

loads of other things. It is also possible to perform 

a number of operations on certain parts of 

your system, close windows, and freeze tasks. 

MUI is not actually needed as all of Scouts 

functions can be accessed through the shell, but 

this is obviously not as simple You can even 

use Scout as an AmiTCP service which allows 

you to access other people's machines over 

network.

Author: Cyril Deble 

Magic User Interface 

Workbench 2,04 

The nicest thing you can say about the onginal 

Commodore Screen Mode requester is that it 

worked. This MUI version gives you the obligatory 

tailored MU1 interface that is font sensitive 

and resizable, and it also has the unusual 

option of letting you have a Ham screen mode 

This potentially allows you to have around 

quarter of a million colours on your Workbench 

MAD HOUSE 

Author Carsten Jahn 

Magic User Interface 


Blankers on Macs and PCs have started to turn 

heads, and this all kicked off from the old flying 

toaster blanker that appeared on the Mac by the 

After Dark people years ago. Unfortunately, this 

has ended up with certain PC blankers requiring 

20Mbs of hard drive space as they actually end 

up telling a complete story. 

If you do not have that amount of space to 

spare then Madhouse could be just what you 

are looking for. It is a MU: screen blanker, similar 

to Blitz Blank, and is very easy to use and set 

up. You should use the provided installer icon 

to install Madhouse, otherwise you will need to 

set an assign by hand so it can find its blanker 

modules. 

As standard. Madhouse comes with 12 

blankers but it can accept SwazBlanker modules, 

so if you have this alteady you can extend 

your number of blanker programs. Of interest 

there is a Sensible Soccer look-a-like blanker 

that plays out a full football match, or soccer 

match to our overseas friends. 

There are plenty of options that separate 

MadHouse from other blankers and it comes 

with a good number of quality blankers the 

snow, soccer and nautical are particularly novel. 

This is a shareware program so if you plan to 

keep it do not forget to register as this will 

insure that it will be continued to be developed 

in the future

LOTTERY 

Author: John Comer 


Lottery madness seems to have the entirc 

nation firmly in its sweaty mitts, with people 

shamelessly throwing pounds out of the 

window just to have the words "it's not you" 

reverberating firmly round their heads. 

It has also seemingly kick started every two 

bit programmer into writing their own lottery 

predictor. The last few months have seen a 

number of programs popping up in the Amiga 

Computing offices, one or two of which were 

very good, many of the others being dubious 

looking random number generators. 

This lottery predictor is different. Firstly it's 

beam* , 

not written in Amos so it multitasks correctly 

and uses standard looking gadgets. Before you 

run Lottery it really needs to be installed using 

the provided installer script which will set up 

the Analyser assign, otherwise you will have to 

do this manually from the Shell. 

Once you have Lottery up and running there 

are plenty of statistics about previously drawn 

balls. You can find out the number of times 

each number has appeared, the frequency certain 

numbers have been drawn, and if low, middle 

or high combinations are more common 

than others, 

When it comes to actually predicting the 

numbers. Lottery uses a fairly straightforward 

system. This consists of producing three lines of 

numbers, one biased to high numbers, one 

biased to low numbers, and the last to produce 

a combination of the two. You can have up to 

seven lines, or a syndicate mode allowsyou to 

have 100 rows, and when the balls are actually 

drawn you enter these into the Lottery database 

which will automatically check if you have won 

or not The program is win-ware, so if you get 

four winning balls or MOM using it you should 

send the author some of the winnings to show 

your gratitude. ••

For anyone looking for a better disk packer than DMS, this is your answer. 

Disksqueeze is an Lix-based disk packer that is similar to DMS but much more 

efficient. To use it you must already have the Lzx packer which allows 

Disksqueeze to use its very efficient packing algorithms. 

Once you have installed the program its interface is just a simple set of 

requesters that guide you through the packing or unpacking process. It supports 

high density disks, including Mac and PC formats - a unique feature for a disk 

packer - as well as being able to handle DMS archives, so most people should 

find this perfect for squishing their disks.

Am1CDFS 

Author Martin Berndt 

Workbench 104 

Current owners of SCSI interfaces who have 

a CD drive will probably be using the old 

AmiCD file handler or, if you have 

Workbench 3.1, you will be using the 

Commodore CD file system. These do a 

perfectly good job, but there is always room 

for improvement. 

This is an update to the original AmiCD 

file system that many people will have. This 

version is now faster and improves compatibility 

with strange DOS packets. Proper disk 

buffers are now available which helps CD 

access and loading of large files. Generally, 

the original code has been cleaned up and 

optimised to get the best out of your 

CD-ROM. 

The supplied AmigaGuide does explain 

how to install the software. You need to 

copy the CDO icon to your DEVS:DOSdrivers 

directory, copy the AmiCIDIS and WBStart- 

Handler files to your L directory, and finally 

copy over the Mount and Setpatch 

commands to your own C drawer. 

You will need to change the CDO file with 

a text editor to suit your own machine's 

setup. Load the CDO file into your favourite 

text editor and change the DEVICE to your 

SCSI device - for Squirrel users this will be 

5quirrelscsidevictand owners of other SCSI 

cards will need to consult the documentation 

to find out the correct device of their 

SCSI card. 

After this, adjust the UNIT number to your 

CD's SCSI unit number - most CD players 

allow you to select the SCSI ID number on 

the back. Now restart your machine and you 

should have access to your CD.

STARTUP CONTROL 

Author: Dirk Jesse 


Startup Control is a program that gives yo 

more control over how your machine sta 

up. On my machine I have a small progra 

that detects if I am holding the right mou 

button, and if so will load Workbench wit 

the WBStartup drawer disabled. 

With Startup Control you will have th 

option, along with many more, implement 

in a much better way. To install Startu 

Control, copy the program to your C dir 

ory and insert the line C:StartupControl 

your startup sequence, just after th 

C:Setpatch command. To do this, open 

shell and type ed s:stortup-sequence. 

When you reboot your machine, if y 

hold down the left mouse button and one 

the Alt keys, you will have the choice to cl 

.able the WBStartup, User-Startup, run scri 

pfiles, open a shell window, and even force 

normal PAL window - if you have a monit 

driver installed. 

Startup Control works by renaming th 

files, so when you reboot your machine th 

are renamed to what they should be. Als 

anyone using SysiHack must make sure th. 

is run before Startup Control is.

All the lazy people stand up. If you own a 

hard drive I bet you haven't bothered to back 

it up in years, even though you know if it 

crashes you will never be able to get your 

files back. Well, UCBackup will be a little life 

saver for you. 

Firstly, there is the absolute minimum of 

fuss involved. You drop it into you WB5tartup 

drawer, double-click on it, then use exchange 

to pop up its interface and select what directories 

you want it to check. From then on, 

every week, UCBackup will scan these 

directories and Lha all the new files onto a 

destination of your choice.

CBE 

Author: Anthony Moringello 

Workbench 2,04 

You may or may not know that the Amiga 

actualy has up to 256 separate clipboards. 

The clipboard is where any temporary data 

is stored, and usually when you cut or copy 

something it is stored to the first clipboard. 

This allows you to copy from Brilliance and 

paste the graphic into Final Writer. 

Instead of letting all these clipboards go 

to waste, CBE gives you a clipboard history 

by buffering all the past cuts and copy into 

a list From this you can choose which one 

to paste with and if they should be cleared 

or not. 

With Workbench 3, users can view what 

the contents of each clip board is, therefore 

giving you a better idea of what you will be 

discarding or pasting next

This is a tiny little device that was discovered 

when doing our Internet virgin article, and

accesses the serial port. 

Dialer provides an automatic dial and

UPDATE LIDS 

Author: Dan Rhodes 

Workbench 104 

You know the situation. You have a new 

program with loads of libraries, most of 

which you already have, but how do you 

easily tell if the these libraries are newer or 

older than the ones you already have. 

Update libs is the remedy for you ills. 

It is a Shell-based program so copy it into 

your C directory, and to run it just supply it 

with the directory containing the mystery 

libraries and away it will go. 

For each 

should - install it or not.

FX yis 

a small program that allows you to add 

sound o effects to accompany a number of 

standard u system events. Usually, these sort of 

programs 

w h 

just watch for disks being inserted 

or removed. 

e t 

FX can watch all manner of operating sys- 

h e 

tem calls, from windows and screens being 

r 

opened and closed to files being deleted and 

renamed. i

The program requires Workbench 3 as it 

uses Datatypes to load the samples, but this 

means you will be able to use PC Wave samples 

or any other sample Datatypes you have. 

An install script is provided so installation is 

simple, and as long as you have a selection ol 

samples, you can get going straight away.

WBSTARTUP+ 

Author: John Hughes 

Workbench 2_04 

This is another one of those little make your 

Amiga a nicer place to live-type of programs. 

WBStartup+ gives you a handy preference 

program to handle how and which programs 

are run from the WBStartup drawer. It does 

this by creating two new drawers in the 

WBStartup and adding a new program to handle 

launching all your chosen programs. This 

is all set up by the usual installer script and is 

very straightforward. 

When Workbench first appears, if you hold 

down Ctrl you can modify the preferences 

p 

. 

before anything is run, 

left alt interactively asks 

you if it should run a program 

or not, and the left 

shift will disable all the 

programs. You might be 

interested to know that 

this is the first program I 

have seen to use a new 

library called launcher. 

library which is written by Amiga Technologies 

no less. They must be up to something 

after all.

IMPORTING 

- 

bits 

1 I 

A cheque printing Wizard has already 

appeared on Aminet, so I would guess there 

will be more in the future. 

I was surprised that Wordworth does not 

support the Amiga's Datatypes - as 

Datastore does I was expecting Wordworth 

to as well. This is not such a disadvantage as 

there are a good number of supported formats, 

With the usual IF support, induding 

Ham and 24-bit images, Wordworth can 

import CIF, PCX, Tiff and Img format images, 

and all the major scalable image formats are 

covered - CGM, EPS and GEM - with EPS 

being the most important format of the 

three. 

As Datatypes currently only work in 8 

there is a reason for using your own import 

filters, but support of Datatypes on top 

would allow you to import other formats not 

supported by Digita's own import filters, 

such as Jpeg - as all my pictures are Jpegs 

this would be a helpful addition. 

Some people may feel that the recommended 

specification is a little high, but an 

Al200 with a RAM expansion or accelerator 

can easily handle complex documents, and if 

you want the sort of power that Wordworth 

provides then you need the hardware to 

match. For people with a more restricted setup, 

a 'lite' version of Wordworth 5 will be 

released. 

Having used this version of Wordworth for 

a while I think it is a worthwhile investment 

for owners of earlier versions. The style 

sheets help greatly in document formatting, 

and the extended graphics support improves 

the end quality of your documents. There are 

still differences between Wordworth and 

Final Writer, primarily the lack of sections 

and the ability to rotate graphics - both of

Wordworth. The only other difference is the

Version five of Wordworth is truly

o what do we have here? Two 

graphics tablets, one big, the other 

minuscule (and not really a graphics 

tablet at all). Let's start small 

and work our way up. 

Our mini tablet is a device that has seen 

1;1 service on many a modern laptop and is called 

the Alps GlidePoint (made by the electronics 

arm of famous car stereo manufacturer Alpine. 

Perhaps you can get a sticker to go across the 

top of your monitor that shows you have 

ClidePoint tool). The idea is that it replaces a 

mouse or trackball setup and allows you to use 

your computer just by moving your finger 

around. The GlidePoint's operating area is only 

about an inch by two, but the manufacturers 

reckon they have a resolution of some 4900 

dots crammed into that tiny space. 

This little beastie plugs into your valuable 

serial port to work, so owners of multi-serial 

cards can sigh with satisfaction that they can at 

last use one of those extra serial ports, while 

owners of Al200s will have to tear their hair 

out when they want to use a modem, or the 

other tablet in this review.

There is accompanying driver software 

included on disk which can sit in your 

WBStartup drawer, ready to run when you 

boot In my experience, using serial mice on an 

Amiga can cause frustrations when you need to 

boot from a disk other than your normal one. I, 

certainly, always left my normal mouse plugged 

in, just in case. This, of course, limits the usefulness 

of these devices and along with the serial 

port use, must limit the appeal of the product 

for most people. 

However, all this would be fine if the product 

was great to use, but unfortunately it isn't I 

found the GlidePoint to be awkward in use, 

especially for moving windows around. You 

couldn't use it for drawing any more than you 

could use one of those lightpens that were 

popular about four years ago. In short, the

The PowerTemplate software that comes with the 

PowerTab is almost worth the asking price on its own. 

It allows the user to create templates for their 

favourite programs so that all functions (or at least as 

many as possible) are available directly from the 

tablet, without having to go through menus or 

requesters. The template software can replace keyboard, 

qualifier and ARexx commands with buttons 

on the tablet that take some getting used to, but are 

much faster once acclimatised. 

However, all is not perfect with PowerTemplate. 

NTSC users might have a problem displaying the 

whole screen, and non-AGA, non-graphics cards

software at all. It's also slow and clunky to use, 

although looks very nice. The worst problem, though, 

is the fact that although the PowerTab software will 

run through any serial port, PowerTemplate will only 

use the internal serial port found on every Amiga. 

The software is also a bit buggy and prone to 

crashing, so frequent saves must be made in order to 

ovoid losing work. But all that considered,

GlidePoint is really only suitable for those wellheeled 

Amiga owners who have an extra serial 

port or two going unused and so little desk 

space that they have to use it. Anyone else 

would be recommended to look at getting a 

trackball or three-button mouse. 

Our second tablet, on the other hand, is a 

much better affair. You still need to take up that 

valuable serial port, but at least with this product 

you'll probably only be using it occasionally. 

Tablets of this kind have been available 

before, but this is the first I am aware of that 

actually comes with template editing software 

to allow you to set up areas of the tablet as buttons, 

rather than having to use the menus or 

••••••• Immo t•M•P ••8 

keyboard shortcuts_ The tablet also corn 

equipped with both stylus and four-butto 

puck, which is unusual, and Power hay 

supplied ready-made templates for some 

the most popular graphics packages on the 

Amiga, DPaints IV and V, and Personal Paint 

6.4. The tablet itself is sturdily made and, as 

you can see by the photograph, the puck is 

ergonomically designed. 

The Power tablet performs well in drawing 

operations, although for best use a tablet 

needs to be pressure sensitive and the stylus is 

a bit top heavy due to the trailing wire, but 

other than these minor qualms, I would have 

no hesitation recommending this tablet to 

prospective buyer.

eOur erstwhile editor 

I reports from Europe's 

, largest computer show 

1order. It's a tribute to the estimated 

750,000 people that visited 

CeBit this year that they managed 

it at all. Already, most hotels in the 

city are fully booked for next year's show, and 

possibly the year after, Already these same 

hotels are taking reservations for Expo 2000 

which will take place in Hannover with a predicted 

40,000,000 visitors over the course of a 

year. 

So what hope did I have, only trying to make 

my way here two weeks before the show? The 

answer is none. Unless, that is, I wanted to 

spend 3650DM a night for a hotel room. How 

much is 650DM? Doh, only about E325 at the 

current exchange rate. And that's per night It 

does include breakfast but no baths in asses 

milk or slaves fanning me and peeling grapes or 

anything like that 

Anyway, here's a tip for last minute visitors to 

CeBit. When you arrive at Hannover airport, visit 

the Hannover Hotel Service - you should be 

able to find it easily enough - and queue there 

for about two hours. They'll find you a room, 

either in a private house, bed breakfast, or a 

hotel conference room (which is where I 

'stayed). The cost shouldn't be more than 

100DM a night, unless you rent an apartment, 

in which case you should look for about 150DM 

a night. But you don't really want to know 

about this, you want to know all abbut the 

show. 

ENORMOUS 

IT'S MASSIVE!! It really is. It took me at least half 

an hour of walking to even reach the 

Escom/Arriga Technologies stand, going past 

stands that were larger than a three-bedroomed 

detached house showing off PCs, printers, 

imagesetters, storage devices, ATM machines, 

and any amount of different computer-related 

equipment. At the front of one of the stands, I 

don't know which, there was an HDTV in a case 

filled with bubbling water, showing a fish tank. 

The only difference I could see between it and a 

real tank full of fish was that the HDTV display 

looked more real (and certainly a lot easier to

Village Tronic's large stand 

was jumping with interested 

Amiga users all eager 

for a look at the new 

Picasso 11 Plus or Picasso 4. 

If they were disappointed 

with their non-appearance, 

they soon cheered up when 

they saw the new version of 

MainActor Broadcast (the 

update is freely available on the Main Concept Website at 

http://www.ac-copy.comimaincpthtml), the DKB Wildfire 060 

card for the A2000, and the new line of software from ProDAD. 

The DKB board is special in several ways. Firstly, it has an 

ethernet port built-in, it also has a FAST SCSI 11 controller giving 

up to 7Mbisec, a PCI expansion bus allowing for a new Picasso 

card to be integrated with the accelerator, and perhaps most 

importantly, the ability to run at a true 66MHz, something no 

other 060 accelerator yet does. All you A4000 owners will be 

happy that a board for your machines will be out by the end of 

the summer, and A3000 owners will be catered for by the end 

of the year.

look after). So eventually, like 

Amundsen to the North Pole, I 

reached the Escom stand. It was packed. 

Unlike Compaq or NEC, who'd created an air 

of business-like silence and space, the Escom 

stand was, by contrast, more like a heaving 

nest of termites, with about as much room to 

move around as on the Tokyo subway. They 

had the usual PCs (some Commodore 

badged - it's nice to see that Escom are getting 

something for their 510 million dollar 

outlay) and some Al200s. The Al200s were 

either showing off games, music or the new 

Surfer pack replete with Mindwalker 

Web browser, of which we have a working 

preview copy. 

As we've explained to death already, the 

pack comes ready to run when you buy it, 

and with just a phone call to IBM's toll free 

number you are ready to roll. The modem

supplied with the pack will be 

.' to individual distributors in each 

country to decide which one will be 

bundled with the machine. 

However, the best thing on the Amiga 

Technologies stand was, without doubt, the 

first new Amiga since the A4000T burst on 

the scene back in '93. The machine (codenamed 

Walker at the moment) is a bizarre 

design as you will see from the photos on 

these pages, but it really looks the part and 

says that the Amiga is a different machine. 

Even with all these trendy PCs with black 

cases or integral speakers coming out of their 

d sides, the Walker still stands out from the 

e crowd. 

l The Walker will come with a largish IDE

between 1000 and 1600DM (E500 E800) 

when it comes out for the Christmas '96 market 

and will be based around an ECO30 chip 

running at 40MHz, no FPU, no MMU. 

The case design is a novel one with a single.. 

multipurpose slot on the motherboard to 

accommodate a backplane which could have 

Zorro II, Zorro III or even ISA and possibly PCI 

slots for graphics cards, processor upgrades or 

whatever, Depending on what size backplane 

the user fits, the case will have to be extended 

upwards with spacers, which may result in the 

machine becoming a mini-tower system rather 

than a hoover look-alike, as has been suggest. 

ed by German wits at the show. 

Another change for this machine is the new 

Super1/0 chip which doesn't yet have a groovy 

name like the rest of the Amiga's chipset This 

chip will be responsible for high-speed, 

bi-directional serial and parallel ports and has 

the bandwidth to provide several of them, or 

related types of I/O like MIDI. The Walker will

11,4b The design shown in the photos on these 

Rpages O is only a prototype and Amiga 

Technologies M may well change the case's 

colour and make the motherboard smaller, 

t 

There o is some question whether the Walker will 

ship 

fi 

with a floppy drive at the moment, the 

reasoning being that CD-ROM helps to prevent 

t 

casual piracy, and even some wild rumours 

s 

that you will need t w o 

floppy 

o 

drives — one for old standard Amiga 

disks m (low density ones, that is) and one for a 

new e high density format that will use a standard 

o PC floppy disk drive. Heinz Wroebel 

assures f me that the machine will ship with a 

floppy t drive and that it will be a PC high density 

drive, h but he fears that compatibility with the 

old e Amiga high density format will be lost 

p The machine will also be able to boot from 

the r internal CD-ROM, opening the way for 

games o manufacturers to merge their CD32 and 

Walker p development Gilles Bourdin reckons it 

omight 

also mean that games houses that have 

sleft 

the Amiga might return now that they are

assured of a standard CD-based machine to 

work with. 

Gilles doesn't feel at all worried about the 

future of the Amiga. He believes its strengths 

and dedicated userbase will see it through 

these admittedly lean times. He sees the Walker 

as an intermediate step towards the 

PowerAmiga next year, and hopes that onetime 

Amiga developers will return to the fold 

when they see the quality of the new machine. 

On Workbench 3.2, Gilles had this to say: 

some of the main changes will be networking 

abilities, more colourful icons (it hasn't been 

decided whether to use the MagicWB set or 

another, or design one from scratch), more 

utilities etc 

- REVISIONS 

Workbench 3.2 will be the last revision made 

for 680x0 machines according to Bourdin, 

future revisions will only take place for the 

PowerAmiga. Just to cheer old-time Amiga users 

up, Gilles revealed that Dave Haynie and Andy 

Finkel are consulting for Amiga Technologies on 

the implementation of Workbench and design 

matters for the new machines, along with Olaf 

Barthel and Heinz Wroebel. The Walker isn't 

going to be a stopgap machine, however. It will 

be upgradeable to the PowerPC chip, when it 

becomes available. Speaking of PowerPCs, the 

PowerAmiga project is actually running slightly 

ahead of schedule at the moment and Amiga

improvement on the current 1438. Both the 15 and 17" monitors will 

whave eextremely r e flat black matrix screens in contrast to the goldfish bowl 

bappearance e i of nthe 1438. g Both monitors will sync down low enough for 

sstandard h Amiga o modes, w but n have the bandwidth to display 38kHz screens 

aas well, so nfinally there d will be an all-in-one solution for Amiga owners who

modes up to 1280 x 1024 in 'brilliant colour and will display modes at 

frequencies up to 64kHz_

111. STATS 

CeBit is one of the 

world's largest computer 

shows. The only 

one bigger is perhaps 

Comdex in America. A 

ticket for a single day 

- 

about S39) on a the door and a ticket for all 

seven days is double c that. The catalogue 

on its own costs o 36DM and weighs in at 

about 5-6Ibs. You s can throw away all but 

a couple of ounces t of that, though, if you 

have a suitable s machine equipped with a 

CD-ROM because 

5 

you get one with all the 

information contained in the book with 

0 

the catalogue. 

D 

CeBit takes place over seven days in 26 

M 

halls and has a total of 6,507 companies 

from 66 different 

( 

countries exhibiting in a 

total of 465,847 E square metres of display 

space. 2 

The showground 5 is so large that there 

are bus services o operating to carry people 

between halls r and there is parking for 

over 50,000 cars at any one time. 

There are hundreds of toilets, snack 

bars and restaurants all over the show- 

ground, so finding people can be a nightmare. 

Fortunately for me, the people I 

wanted to meet were all clustered around 

the few Amiga-related stands, so it wasn't 

too much of a problem. • ' 1111 

Technologies hope to have something to show 

this time next year. However, your loyal 

reporter thinks that the new machine is far 

from the perfect solution, When airs said and 

done, it is still an Al200, admittedly faster and 

with better expansion possibilities, but with no 

real improvement on current (and by current I 

really mean five year old) technology. 

The backplane idea for adding Zorro slots is 

a good one in principle, but it means additional 

costs for the user who wants to upgrade his 

machine. First he has to buy the baciiplane, 

and how much will that cost? Then he has to 

buy his expansion. If he decides to further 

expand his machine, he'll have to get rid of his 

original backplane and buy a larger one, all the 

time ensuring the new card will have the slots 

he needs for the cards he already has, and he'll 

need to buy the spacer unit to make his 

machine tall enough to take the new cards_ 

BENEFITS 

In my humble opinion, it would have been 

more beneficial to have room inside the 

machine for two Zorro II/III cards and an in-line 

video slot, In addition, the machine should 

have had the same CPU slot as an A3000, 

A4000 and so on so that the companies 

remaining who support the Amiga don't have 

their resources further stretched by having to 

tool up for a third Amiga standard. For instance, 

Phase 5 already make accelerators for the 

Al200 and the A4000/3000. They are not 

going to want to have to make a third type of 

accelerator to satisfy Walker owners. I'm sure 

they'll do it anyway, but it might mean the end 

fl lome ga 's ne w ba by gia nts, the Ja r a nd D itto drive s. 

We hope to re vie w the m soon 

n SyQuast's SyJe t should 

prove a ma jor compe titor 

for the Ja r drive 

In this globa l ma rke t, 

compa nie s re a lly ought to 

pay more a tte ntion to the 

connota tions the ir 

bame might ha ve in othe r 

countrie s.- 

of them. After all, it's not as though there are 

thousands of existing Al200 or big box Amiga 

owners out there who are suddenly going to 

drop everything they own and switch to a 

Walker. 

Perhaps, rather than simply rearranging 

everything in the case design and adding this 

In fact the new Amiga launch was probably the most exciting 

event at this year's CeBit, even though it probably interested less 

than one per cent of the visitors to the show. 

Purveyors of wares for other platforms were overheard 


MAY 1 9 

F IT FOR 

AN AMIGA? 

NI in all, the CeBit show doesn't really suit the 

Amiga market. There are far too many extremely 

serous people doing very grown up things on 

machines that have probably never even had a 

game of Tetris on them, and this small, ckfferent, 

company doesn't really fit in Some companies 

who were noticeable by their absence, however, 

included MacroSystem, who, you would have 

thought. would be in their element showing I:0 

the Dram as a standalone video editing machine 

at a fraction of the cost of a similar Avid set-up, 

never mind the fact that it is Amiga-based And 

Phase 5 were surprisingly not on the Motorola 

booth showing off a potential prototype of the 

PowerUp PowerPC accelerator card for the 

NTiga 

Even so, Haar & partners were on Motorola's 

stand showing off Storm C14-t-, An ANSI compliant 

C package with full support for Motorola's 

060 and a GUI editor? Sounds too good to be 

true? Well, unless you speak German, it is. 

Translation is going ahead now for the manual, 

but don't expect it to surface for a couple of 

months, at least, in its English form. 

r m not sure if I have correctly conveyed 

just how fleets to attend CeBit, so I'S try again 

Unless you have a fortune to spend and resenrahons 

made, CeBit is like that favounte of Japanese 

television shows- Endurance I realty do feel like 

rve been put through the mil. Anyway, that's the 

news from CeBit I'm off to soak my aching 

feet for a few haws- 

new bus, Amiga Technologies should have 

done what they have always said they are 

doing and build on the strengths of the Amiga. 

Surely some form of video expansion like a 

built-in genlock, or a sound sampler, would 

have been of more immediate benefit to new 

users and build on the Amiga's much-trumpeted 

multimedia superiority. 

A built-in sound sampler 

would also mean that the 

Amiga could get some form 

of Internet phone access, 

another string in the 

Amiga's bow. 

Then the surfer pack 

could realty offer something 

new. Just imagine the 

scarce advertising: 'International 

calls at a local rate - 

they're yours with the 

Amiga! Still, the machine I 

saw was only a prototype 

and there is plenty of time 

for changes before its 

selling period, 

NOUGH AMIGA, WHAT ABOUT 

OTHER PLATFORMS? 

bemoaning the lack of interesting or new products, and several 

visitors I spoke to also complained about a dearth of innovative 

products. Still, I guess the new Amiga could be lumped in that 

category too.

extensions to the Amos language 

0 here 

in recent 

have 

years, 

been 

and 

a 

seemingly 

lot of 

the development of such additions 

to the language has not abated even 

though most commercial development on 

the Amiga has taken a break to see what is 

going to happen next. If anything, development 

of add-ons for Amos has increased 

11 

since both Commodore and Europress 

Software ceased to support the Amiga. OS 

Devkit for Amos Pro, written by Brice 

Fromentin, is a fine addition to these 

extensions, allowing you to use all the 

standard Amiga libraries, like asl.library, 

execlibrary, gadtools.library,intuition.library, 

graphics.library etc. 

INSTALLER STALLS 

The system requires you to have Amos Pro 

2.0 and above (it says 1.0+ but you can't use 

the compiler with anything below 2.0, can 

you?), Amiga OS 2.0 and above, and 

anything above a 68000 will do, so 060 

drivers should watch their speed. 

The program is a mere snip to install as it 

has an install program on the disks, but this 

does suffer from a slight problem in that 

department, however, because it seems to 

look for the APSystem directory under 

something called AmosPro_System. You 

could, I suppose, assign that name to 

APSystem, but I found the best way to install 

it was to copy the libs into APSystem 

and unpack all the other LZH files into a 

convenient directory like AmosPro. 

Once the files are copied, you have to 

start Amos Pro and use the Set Interpreter 

command to point Amos to the lib file for 

the extension. That done, everything is in 

order. 

The documentation on the disk is in 

English as well as French, but M. Fromentin 

is obviously not as fluent with the Queen's 

wossname as he perhaps thinks he is. Things 

SSING AROUND 

To make OS-legal Intuition-like prbgrams you merely have 

to follow the new OS Devkit command structure. For example, 

to open a screen in Intuition, all you have to do is: 

_ser Del Body 0,D,320,128,5 

liende_scr Open 

which means open a screen which starts at 0,0 with a 

width of 320 and a height of 128 pixels and a colour depth 

of 5. 

To take another example, if you wanted to set the body 

characteristics of a gadget using GadTools, you would use 

the following: 

—geld Bel Body X,Y,V,N 

where X,Y is the location of the top/left corner, and W,H is 

the width and height To refresh the contents of a window 

or requester using GadTools, all you would need to do is: 

_st lefresi Wrid WeD,RE4 

where WND and REQ are the pointer of the window or 

requester in question. The AmigaGuide documents on the 

AmIGA COMPUTING 

MAY 196 

Phil South reviews the latest 

extension for Amos, OS Devkit 

for Amos Pro 

like 'for logical reason an 'Amos lock send 

AmosPro to front" and if you need V39 functions, 

test OS version before, this allow me to 

obtain faster command than AmosPro itself. 

Little sacrifices..." sound like me writing my 

column after a night out on the town. 

The docs are somewhat fragmented in 

parts, and although they are on the disk as 

AmigaGuide documents (I hate on-disk 

documentation, don't you?), they will help 

you make sense of the procedures for 

making your own OS-legal Amiga programs. 

The installation and presentation of all the 

program elements could be cleaned up 

considerably, and this is something which 

will hopefully be solved now the program 

has a proper commercial distribution, Icons 

disk describe all the functions and how to use them, 

although it requires a lot of experimentation (or an existing 

knowledge of how these things work) to make things zip 

along quickly. If you have a passing knowledge of Intuition 

then this will be easy. If you've never done this kind of 

thing before then a read of the demonstration Amos programs 

and a knowledge of schoolboy French will stand you 

in good stead. 

One thing which did irk me a little bit was the fact 

that only one of the guide files with the command structures 

in had an icon, meaning that the only way to get 

them all working from a mouse click was to either add an 

icon for each file or click once on AmigaGuide, then hold 

down shift and click on the guide file. (You have to Show 

All Files in the menus before you can even see them to

By the way: one technical thing which cropped up during 

the creation of the software was a clash between the 

Amiga OS Wait function and the Amos Pro loader. Brice has 

mended this by adding a PROC called _RENAMEAmos 

which, if added at the front of an Amos Pro program, will 

subtly alter the names of the programs in operation and 

prevent an erroneous out of memory message. 

a 

for all the documentation would be a boon, 

as would proper install scripts which would 

prevent any of the problems I encountered 

when loading the program the first time. It 

killed my Amos Pro by stopping the defauk 

configuration from being able to load, 

necessitating a complete re-install of Amos 

Pro - something which took time and eft 

and which I'd have preferred not to have 

to do. 

That being said, OS Devkit is a splendid 

extension, but one that would definitely 

benefit from a better organised install 

procedure and properly translated 

documentation. Despite all that I give it an 

unreserved thumbs up for power, if not ease 

of use.

us, has been working in movies 

for over 20 years now, as direc- 

0 _ tor, ohn actor Pasternak, and special so the effects blurb tells guy 

(although I couldn't find any reference to 

him in the Internet movie database). 

He's presenting a series of video 

tutorials that make a nice complement 

to our video special 

last month as they all deal 

with creating impressivelooking 

special effects 

using items that are freely 

available in any town. The 

first in the series is called 

Android and deals with a 

single scene reminiscent of 

a certain James Cameron 

film where the baddie has to 

repair his arm and eye after 

being in a set of scrapes. 

First of all you are shown the 

scene in its entirety, followed by a 

detailed description of how each effect was 

achieved. This starts with the retractable 

XActo knife with realistic spurting blood 

and goes on to opening the arm up for 

mechanical surgery. Each step is covered in 

very good detail, listing all the materials 

you will need to get to achieve the effects, 

and where you are most likely to get them 

from. 

MAJOR REPAIRS 

I found it very interesting to see the complete 

process involved in creating a latex 

mask which was used as the basis for an 

effect where the android pulls its eyeball 

out to repair it (this scene on the video 

was rather spoilt by the fact that you can 

see three hands in shot, unless of course, 

the android was better equipped than I 

thought). The process is a lot more 

involved than I had previously fresumed. It 

starts with your actor's face getting fitted 

for a piece of cardboard, which is then 

placed to fit the lace snugly. The actor is 

then given a breathing tube and dentists' 

impression gunk is spread all over. Plaster 

of Paris is spread over the gunk to give it 

added strength and once this is dry the 

whole shebang is removed. 

That's just the first step though. Next the 

mould of the face is filled with plaster of 

paris again and left to dry for a few days in 

a warm place. It is then turfed out of the 

mould and placed on a board. Next it is 

trimmed of any remaining flash and waxed. 

Once this has been done, there are a few 

intermediate steps to tackle, but the next 

big job is to get those protective gloves on 

and start messing with glass fibre. The end 

result is a mould you can pour a latex 

HAT'S THE 

rubber mix into, which, once set, will be 

your mask. This can then be painted using 

acrylic paint to make it look a bit more lifelike. 

Sure, it isn't any animatronic masterpiece, 

but it is something you can do at 

home without having to spend a fortune. 

This is the whole basis for the tutorials on 

these tapes and it is one that works well. 

You won't be making Terminator 3, but 

you will be able to create effects of some 

sophistication with relatively little effort. 

Finally, in addition to the main exercise of 

producing the scene, there are a number 

of general tips such as how to get rid of 

the overly clean and harsh look of video. 

One point about the video that was 

quite tiresome though. It may say that the 

"Each step is covered in 

very good detail, listing all 

the materials you will 

need to get to achieve the 

effects, and where you are 

most likely to get them 

from" 

CONNECTION? 

Well you might ask. The gimmick with this set of videos is the fact that you'll also be able to 

buy them on CD. No, it won't just be an Mpeg conversion of the video data, it will be a mixture 

of CDXL animation combined with CD quality sound and still pictures to present the 

same information, but in an Amiga-friendly way. The CD is planned to cost twice as much 

as the video, but then again, you hopefully won't have to put up with the long gaps where 

nothing happens.

As a whole, this video is a great idea

roused by our feature last month. it pro 

vides a very easy-to-follow, step-by-step 

guide to creating special effects on a very 

tight budget However, the editing of the 

tape really needs to be tightened as there 

are large gaps between the narrative 

which don't advance your understanding 

of the subject and are not aesthetically 

pleasing. Finally, this tape isn't suitable for 

children owing to the nature of both the 

type of special effects and the material] 

used to create them.

alternatives •

the guided tour of 

NewTek's latest incarnation of their 

award-winning 3D design and animation 

system. This time it's Modeler's turn for 

a once over, but Ill also be exploring lightWave 

on the Amiga's arch rival. However, before 

inspecting the opposition's approach, it's time 

for a close look at the straight-man in the 

LightWave double act 

Modeler is without doubt the poor relation 

in the LightWave partnership in the rush to 

match the exploits of Ron Thornton and

friends. The temptation is to dive straight into 

Layout and set about throwing things around 

the screen in the vain hope that by some miracle 

you'll stumble across a masterpiece. 

Unfortunately, that just ain't the way things 

happen. 

Si MI LARM ES 

As you can see, the all new Modeler 4_0 

isn't exactly a million miles away from its predecessor. 

In fact, you have to look pretty close 

before you can spot any real changes. All the 

buttons and options appear in almost identical 

positions, but there is one very major 

invisible, update which many a die hard m 

eler hack has been dreaming of since th 

beginning. The update in question is the lo 

awaited addition of multi-level undo and t 

In the past you were limited to undoing 1

P. 1

DROSS COMPATIBILITY 

NewTek have made a lot of noise about ensuring 

LightWatt wilt have a standard interface and functionality 

across the board, whether it be Amiga, PC SG) or 

whatever else. And to be fair, that's exactly what they've 

achieved 

The only real difference on an operational level is the 

inabikty to import and export models between Modeler 

and Layout As mentioned, the vast majority of PCs don't 

truly multitask, therefore it's not an option - even under 

Windows 95. This inevitably means an awful lot of 

saving countless revisions of the same design. 

Yet another simple, but nevertheless 

essential change is the redesign of the preview 

window. In the past. Modeler boasted a rather 

overindulgent moving solid preview option. 

There's no doubt it looks impressive, but in 

practice it simply wasted CPU time, served no 

practical purpose, and most importantly, soon 

became very irritating. 

PREVIEWS 

Fortunately, NewIek have finally done the 

decent thing and added a usable, static, solid 

preview selection to the existing options, thereby 

providing a much more informative range of 

display options. In 3.5 the selection varied 

• between none, static, and moving - in either 

mreframe or solid. Now that collection has 

expanded with none, wireframe, Frontlace and 

solid - either moving or otherwise. As you'd 

expect, the wireframe option works as before, 

showing both the internal polygon structure 

and the points. 

Next up comes the new Front 

iglich, - as the name suggests, shows only the 

external face polygons o p tof ithe o nobject 

However, as 

you can see from the screenshot it also allows 

you to see external surfaces within the object - 

that at present may be obscured from the 

existing viewpoint 

Lastly comes the static solid view which, not 

surprisingly, works just like Frontface, but delivers 

a true solid 3D image of the model, It must 

be said this is slightly slower to update than 

the others, but in my opinion this is a small

to the design and surface properties of your 

creations. However, given sufficient RAM, it is possible to 

load both Layout and Modeler, make your changes in 

one, save them out to disk, hop over to the other 

program, and load in the saved changes. 

On the PC plus side, it must be said that actual screen 

update on the PC version is superior - given a decent 

64-bit graphics card When compared to the irnplemen• 

tation of the higher resolution displays of the Picasso 

"Fortunately, NewTek 

have finally done the 

decent thing and added a

price to pay for the added clarity a solid - and 

stable - true 3D preview can provide. 

Unfortunately for PC fans, combined 

moving and static display options are only 

available to the Amiga version. Because PCs 

can't multitask a window in window animated 

display simply isn't an option. 

Like their predecessor, all the display 

options offer the same orientation control, 

with wireframe still requiring a combination of 

the Alt key and mouse movement in order to 

rotate the object along any axis to generate 

the optimum view point 

The only other obvious change to Modeler 

is the arrival of a brand new button in the 

Tools department Basically, this is Modelees 

very own plug-ins option which awaits under 

the new Tools/custom button.

favoured on the Amiga version, the PC wins hands 

down. However, it must be said that the Picasso update 

and display options in general have improved quite 

dramatically since the initial beta release. 

Aside from the resolution, the PC variant also offers a 

different approach to render previews. Unlike the Amiga, 

which uses multitasking to provide a full frame preview 

in either Ham, Ham8, or Picasso IL the PC opts for a 

small quarter-screen display within a pop-up requester 

in addition to a full screen alternative

another incarnation of ARexx macros. 

However, there is a very distinct difference 

between the two, Basically, the Custom 

options are standalone programs which, just 

like Layout plug-ins, allow third-party develop. 

ers to plug dedicated modelling applications 

directly into the Modeler interface. 

At present the package only ships with five 

custom programs - the most notable, Powerview, 

provides a solid quick render of the 

preview display. Unfortunately, the option is 

limited to a one-off full frame preview which 

has to be closed down before you can continue 

modelling, although you can still rotate 

the preview by dragging the mouse. 

Although limited at present it does point 

the way to some interesting possibilities when 

it comes to automated modelling. It remains 

to be seen if Modeler custom programs get 

the same level of attention as their Layout 

plug-in counterparts - personally I doubt it..

C APPEAL 

Ever since the news that Light Wove was crossing the 

great PC divide, many have been predicting that 'the 

end is nigh, and the Amiga is no more. This is predictable 

stuff especially with a dose inspection of dock 

speeds. Hover, there's more involved in 3D modelling 

than just raw speed. 

Obviously, with PC dock speeds ranging from 66MHz 

right up to 133MHz there's no question that they can 

hold their own when it comes to brute rendering speed. 

However, this is by no means the whole story. During 

head-to-head testing a 66MHz PC renders at roughly 

twice the speed of a 25MHz A4000, but if a 50MHz 060 

was added the Arniga's rendering speed quadrupled, 

thereby rendering roughly twice the speed of the PC - a 

figure which is still marginally faster than a Pentium 

P90. 

Obviously, this throws the basic PC-goes-faster 

equation into turmoil. Do you spend a large amount of 

hard earned wonga on a PC or simply upgrade your 

existing A4000 030 or 040 with an 060 processor? With 

the uncertain state of Amiga development and the outlandish 

hype surrounding the PC its tempting to spend 

the extra cash. However, life, and especially PCs, are 

never that straightforward. 

As mentioned earlier, PCs in general are by no means 

under-powered machines. However, even with their 

impressive spec, they nevertheless display some serious 

limitations. For example, unless the PC in question 

HE GREAT 

DIVIDE 

As mentioned earlier, NewTek have gone to 

great lengths to make LightWave on all 

platforms as identical as possible. There's one 

thing, though, that even their best efforts can't 

overcome. It's true that both scene files and 

objects will happily load on any platform. 

Unfortunately, that still doesn't get past the 

naming limitations on pre-Windows 95 PCs. 

As you're probably aware, PC file names can 

only have a maximum of eight digits, plus a 

three digit suffix, such as twobject.lob. 

Obviously, Amigas don't suffer from suctrlimitalions 

and, of course, its not something that 

third-party developers have considered in the 

past. As a consequence, most third-party 

products which automatically generate scene 

files or create objects will not travel well, especially 

if they employ a numerical suffix to name 

clones - null objects being a prime eiample. 

The only solution is to upgrade to Windows 95 

or manually rename and replace all the objects 

which don't fit the PC naming criteria. In short, a 

good old fashioned pain in the backside - not 

impossible, but certainly not something you'd 

do if there was a choice, which alas there isn't 

The same problems apply to texture maps 

which your objects will call when loaded into 

layout, although if you can live with untidy file 

names, and the odd bit of re•selection, it is possible 

to copy files over 'as is' - at which point 

the PC will automatically concatenate the file 

names. The files will still load, but to be honest 

the ensuing confusion could well make reconstructing 

the scenes and surface attributes more 

hassle than simply renaming them prior to 

the move. 

boasts a large amount of RAM it will inevitably begin 

paging to disk as available RAM is depleted - reserving 

a set amount of virtual memory space on a hard disk is 

commonplace for memory-intensive PC applications. 

Unfortunately, when paging begins performance 

plummets across the board - mth particular sufferers 

being rendering times, wireframe generation and, more 

importantly, playback, effectively rendering it useless. 

Basically, PCs are appalling at memory management 

As a resuk once paging the activated it will continue, 

regardless of whether real memory has become available 

since the peak RAM requirement which initiated the 

paging. Unfortunately, the only cure is to save out and 

re-boot the machine. 

SNAIL MODE 

This situation doesn't only apply to Light Wave. For 

example, if you wanted to freeze Light Wave and pop 

into another package, paging could kick-in, and you're 

straight back in snail mode on your return to Modeller or 

Layout 

In addition, PCs do not support shared resources like 

the Amiga. For example, a multitude of Amiga programs 

will happily share the same libraries, whereas each 

individual program on a PC will open its own duplicates 

of the some resources - which obviously eats yet more 

valuable RAM. Worse still, once opened, many external 

resources remain resident regardless of whether the

for high-e nd de sign 

add-ons 


A FINAL THOUGHT 

Although much improved and generally more stable, it must be said that Modeler certainly hasn't 

had the large-scale overhaul that Layout has enjoyed. But to be fair, with the preview problems 

resolved arid multiple undo now active, there's little else that needs attention. NewTek are obviou- • 

sly taking the same approach to Modeller as they have in Layout when it comes to advanced addons 

to the system. Basically, the custom button does the same job as the plug-ins option in layout. 

As for the PC invasion, I'd say it's still very early days. With the lack of any direct third-party support, 

and the hardware and software limitations inherent to the PC, ifs really a case of spending an 

awful lot of money or none at all. With the price and performance offered by the growing band ol 

060s, the Amiga still looks in a strong position. The only real question is, will the PC's dominance of 

Plug-in development make the Amiga lose out in the long run?

a sta nda rd Amiga displa y but tha t's a sma ll 

price to pa y for tho ma ssive incre a se in cla rity 

application that initiated them is still using them or even 

still active. Poor memory management on the PC probably 

accounts for the fact that the recommended set-up 

for any serious PC Light Wave system consists of a 

Pentium P90 with 32Mb of RAM. Formerly, Windows NT 

was the preferred OS, but with the advent of Windows 

95 - which like NT also supports multi-tasking - I 6Mb is 

just about viable as an alternative 

The reason for the 32Mb preference on NT machines 

is a system requirement of 12Mb that is needed simply 

to run, leaving 20Mb free, a figure which should be 

enough to avoid the dreaded paging problem. The 

question is, though, after investing in a high-end PC will 

the average user have sufficient funds for essentials like 

Photoshop 3.0 and all the other goodies that make a PC 

clone a viable graphics machine?! know wouldn't 

Basically, the underlying message is that the road to 

faster affordable rendering doesn't necessary lead 

directly to the doors of PC box shifter. Simply running 

cash in hand to the local PC World and grabbing the 

first bargain PC system on the shelf, simply on the 

strength of its clock speed isn't a solution. 

In reality, high power rendering on the PC has a high 

price, just like it does on any other platform. A PC more 

than any other machine, is quite literally the sum of its 

parts. If an element of the equation is missing you could 

easily end up with a very expensive system that simply 

won't do what you need.

STAGE 2... 

With ProGrabS software, select an image you 

wish to capture using the on screen preview 

window and Grab (because the hardware 

grabs frames in real time, there's no need fa 

a freeze frame facility on the source device!) 

Once grabbed, simply download and view the 

full image on your Amiga screen. ProGrab also 

includes a Teletext viewing and captunng 

facility from either IV or &venire sources. 

STAGE 3... 

Use the grabbed image with your favourite 

word processor DTP or graphics package 

ProGrala really does make 

that simple!

jORR SEN 

OR 

SATION 

Have you ever stayed up until the early hours 

of the morning staring subliminally at the 

television for no apparent reason? I hope so, 

because then know I'm not the only one. 

Usually after midnight there's always a 

cracking horror film on - probably from either 

the '60s or early '80s - and no matter how 

bad the special effects are, or the cheesiness 

of the music, you will be glued to your set. It 

doesn't finish there either. As soon as the film 

ends you realise it's time for bed, and then 

you will undoubtedly follow this routine... 

you'll snuggle up in bed and then Boom! A 

big monster springs out of your wardrobe 

and goes "Boor 

Horror Sensation will undoubtedly scare 

you as we travel into the oh so frightening 

world of horror. To me, horror isn't ghosts, 

paranormal activity or the X-files of any 

description. Horror is just gratuitous blood 

and guts, and for a brief description of Horror 

Sensation this fits perfectly. 

Every horror-related Amiga file will 

undoubtedly be on this CD, be it sound 

samples, text files, images, FAC1s, games or 

clipart - they are all here, And by the time 

you've searched a few directories, especially 

the images, you're stomach will be retching 

just like after your first rollercoaster ride. 

will warn you now that Horror Sensation 

does have an 18 certificate and it is justified.

bodies doesn't really appeal to me. I will also 

mention that I'm not actually referring to any 

scenes from films or videos - I mean REAL 

LIFE pictures of bodies. Not a pretty sight. 

There are also a host of good quality samples 

such as screams, blood gushing noises, 

splats and squelches - perfect for any home 

made horror films, The text documents 

contain strange fictional stories and it's all 

polished off by an excellent menu system 

whereby everything can be seen, heard and 

played from a click of a button. 

Please! Only buy this CD if you think you 

can handle these gruesome pictures. You 

must not even contemplate it if you are of a 

nervous disposition. You have been warned!

you'll be going out on a Saturday night 

because you'll probably be too busy making 

your own music and messing around with the 

ones that already feature on it. 

The menu system is probably the best 

feature because it's so simple to use. By highlighting 

your selected mod and clicking a 

button it will load the music. There's no 

having to find menus, locating open buttons, 

and no confusing mod players. It's just a 'click

style of mod you'll find it here - you can be 

sure of it. Apart from the D-Capo CD there

won't be disappointed 

with what you find_ The 

whole package is 

compatible with the 

AI 200, A4000 and

. 

Over that last six months, more and more people 

have been connected to the Information 

Super Highway or World Wide Web either to 

send electronic messages to people from 

around the world or to view pages of information 

about millions of different subject areas 

However, anyone who is connected will 

realise ifs not exactly free. firstly there is the 

expense of the actual computer itself, then a 

modem, then sometimes a connection fee, 

monthly charges, and finally the dreaded 

telephone bill. 

Now you can happily browse a section of 

the Internet without a massive telephone bill 

landing smugly on the doormat at the end of 

the month. 

The On-line library CD contains many different 

topics of information which you can view 

via a Web browser', and for the Amiga you will 

probably need AMosaic or the brand new 

IBrowse Now, the problem is this software. 

Usually, when you are first connected to the 

Internet, your server will automatically post 

you the software needed to use it, and this 

includes the browser. Consequently, unless 

Workbench Add-on is also the first in a 

series, but this time features hundreds of 

Workbench hacks to make it quicker and far 

more efficient. 

Workbench is the main user base where 

copying, running, viewing files has to be 

done. If you use your Amiga you will need to 

use workbench - it's a simple as that - and 

if you use it as much as us here at Amigo 

Computing then the programs on this CD are 

absolutely essential, especially if you're not 

connected to the Internet 

The CD is split into various directories for 

music, utilities, emulators and more. You will 

find most of them in a ready-to-run format 

where you can test them out without the 

annoying process of de-archiving them into 

your destination. 

There are programs for all Amiga users 

including musicians, artists, programmers 

and even gamesplayers. Unfortunately, not 

all the programs are public domain. Most of 

them are shareware and contain unregistered 

versions so if you pay for them you will 

receive a fully registered version. 

This is always worth doing if you use the

you're already connected you will have a tough 

job getting your own browser as you can't really 

go out and buy one from the shops. It's just 

not as easy as that. So if you are going to invest 

in this CD you'll have to be 

connected to the Internet. 

The CD contains topics that 

don't really appeal to me 

such as classical music, the 

words to every National 

Anthem, the Bible in seven 

different languages, and sections 

including economy, 

humour, laws, maths, poetly, 

politics and recipes. 

Although all these subjects 

may do a good job of advertising the Internet 

to a certain spectre of the public, it doesn't 

really give you an idea of what really is on the 

Internet. If the CD included excerpts of the top 

program frequently because 

it lets the programmer know 

you use it, therefore they 

may possibly develop some 

additions or updates. Also as 

a bonus, some of programs 

on the CD have been 

reduced to a special price. 

There are many Internet 

utilities available as well to 

make your connection more 

efficient and help you reduce 

that dreaded phone bill by 

making the access software 

quicker. 

Inside the booklet you get with the CD 

there are various registration forms for 

products such as Amiga E, AmiWin, DFA, 

PowerPlayer, ShapeShifter and SuperView. All 

you have to do is fill in the form and send it 

away. You will then receive the latest version 

as well as the all important key file. 

A lot of effort has gone into this CD to 

make it as simple as possible and while it 

contains programs for the novice, there are 

also many advanced programs to keep any 

a 

ten sites, including the Playboy site, humo 

rtasteless, and sport sites and, at a pinch, 

daily newspaper, then that would probab 

give the public a realistic idea of wha 

they'd find 

I can safely say that I have never ever se 

anything like these documents on the Intern 

and this is probably because I never look 

anything like it. The Internet is all about 

own choice and you are given the chance 

search anything you are interested in, be 

naked women or your local football team. 

CD defeats the entire object of the Intern 

and restricts what you can see. 

If you haven't got access to the Internet, 

On-line Library will present a nice posit 

angle on the content of the Internet. To sum 

up - its one to show your mother.

ACK TO (WORKBENCH) 96 

In Ben Vost's article Workbench 967' he takes a very 

detailed look at what the Amiga of the future should 

provide. As a loyal user, I found this to be a fascinating 

article, creating a virtual chain of what the next Amiga 

should be, link by link. But I did notice some links left 

unaddressed, most of them involving the future of the 

hardware. 

To start off, I thought the idea of putting Kickstart onto 

a flash ROM was an excellent one. Modular VGA-type 

graphics boards also made sense_ Just about every idea 

was well thought Out and should be seen in future 

Amigas. Specifically, providing sound for all users was a 

great idea, but one that needs pushing further. 

The Amiga cannot move into the future having su 

graphics - but continuing to allow 8-bit sound to be a weak 

link. perb The modular idea for graphics cards should also 

apply to sound cards. 

Another hardware issue is the lack of standardisation. 

The Al 200's all-in-one design makes it restrictive to 

certain types of expansion, such as.graphics or sound 

cards. Keeping the physical design the same for all 

Amigas will save third-party developers having to produce 

several versions of the same product to be compatible 

with the different designs. 

Also standard on future Amigas must be storage 

devices. High density floppy drives, large hard drives and 

CD-ROMs are all a must. It is almost impossible to buy a 

new computer (an IBM clone, at least) without a 

CD-ROM drive and a massive hard drive. This would free 

software developers to create their products without 

concerning themselves with fitting all the information on 

low density floppies. In turn, this would reduce the 

disk-swapping involved in things like installation or 

loading. 

Being a student at the University of Cincinnati (a major 

engineering university), I witness the immense use of the 

Internet and the World Wide Web_ Not only are they 

entertaining, they are also very effective forms of communication. 

For example, my calculus professor posts our 

class syllabus on his home page (I bet that's riveting - 

ed.). With my Amiga as it is now, it is a rather complex 

process of program installations to be able to access this 

information. In the future, Telnetting and Web browsing 

functions should be integrated into the Workbench and, 

in addition, each Amiga sold should have an internal 

14.4k modem firming up the communications links of the 

chain. 

The PowerPC processor will he just one of the many 

strong links in the chain of the Amiga, but in order to 

maintain an edge over the upcoming Intel P6, the PPC 

must be integrated into all the new Amigas to provide a 

consistent base of blazing speed. 

These changes in the aspects of the Amiga are i 

mportant ones that I feel are crucial to the survival of the 

Amiga. When compared with another computer the 

Amiga must stand out to the average Joe and make him 

see that they are getting more computer for their money. 

If the Amiga is to be successful, it must provide a 

strong base for both veteran and novice users, and with 

these ideas, I see it doing just that. 

Jeff Rampe, Brecksville, Ohio USA 

It's funny how many different things people want from 

their Amigas, and I wonder what exactly we will see 

from the next generation of Arnim. Anyway, over to 

Ben for his comment on your letter._ 

Putting all the Amigas in boxes with Zorro slots, what 

a great idea and one that AT seem to be taking up. The 

new Al 200+ that everyone has been talking about will 

be just that a box with a separate keyboard with two 

'Iwo slots in it, opening up the world of RIG graphics 

cards to everyone. As for the sound side of things, the 

Amiga still isn't doing too badly. The sound from an

There's a ESO pound prize for the 

best letter printed as an incentive 

Amiga still ranks quite highly considering the technol• 

ogy it is based upon is many, many years old. 

But, sure, it would be nice to see an improvement 

there too and making the whole thing modular on a 

plug-in replacement basis is undoubtedly the best wa?" 

forward. 

The only thing I'm worried about is all these extra 

things people want to put in the base machine. Hoar 

much are you all willing to pay for an Amiga? Adding 

CD-ROM drives, modems, networking and 'massive' 

hard drives all costs additional cash. I believe every 

Amiga in the world should have a hard drive, at 

standard but I would rather see the Amiga continue as 

a cheap, but good quality, hobbyist's machine, rather 

than ramping the cost up to or beyond PC or Mac 

levels. 

UDGET WORR 

I'm a bit worried about all this upgrading business. 

years ago I got an A500 for Christmas which cost ne 

E500. It was state-of-the-art then, with thousands 

good games. Being only nine-years old I couldn't afford 

many games, and the only real expansion I bought was 

a 5I2k upgrade for E34 which let me play some of 

newer games. Great. Only E550 for a great comput 

which played all the games. 

Today, E400 buys you a five-year old computer which 

requires extra hardware to play some of the new 

games. Okay, so not many games need an accelerator 

yet, but if people start upgrading for games, programmers 

will start programming for these machines, perhaps 

needing 3 or 4 megs, etc. The whole Amiga mar 

ket will lose its appeal as a home computer - imagine 

buying an Amiga which was out of date when you 

bought it! Pushing the price up by over E200 on top of 

A.

ART 

Ben Vost's article on improving the Amiga was interesting, 

but I disagree with him on where the efforts need to be 

mostly concentrated. Firstly, we must not turn the Amiga 

into 'just another Macintosh or PC', I don't use the Arniga 

because it's almost a PC or Mac. I use it because it has 

unique qualities that the PC and Mac will never have in a 

Mi(M1 years. In any case, only those qualities which will 

benefit the Amiga directly should be considered. Here's 

what I feel should be concentrated on for both current 

and future Amigas: 

I. High density 1.76Mb floppy drives should become 

standard on every Amiga including the Al200. 

L All new Amigas should have the following video 

outputs: 

.The standard Amiga video out for genlocks and 

15kHz monitors 

a A composite video out for connection to a W or VCR 

that is intelligent enough to display a blank screen 

when a non-NTSC/PAL display mode is selected, 

instead of just displaying a weird mess. 

▪ A hardware flicker fixer port that can connect directly 

to a VGA monitor which can display 15kHz modes on a 

VGA monitor and pass through higher rated modes 

untouched, 

3. The new base Al200 should come with a 68030 

at 50MHz and 4Mb of FastRAM as the new low-end 

standard. 

&Implement a new graphic chipset that can display hundreds 

of graphics sprites even on a VGA monitor, and 

offers chunky as well as planar access for all screen 

modes_ Also, add 3D algorithms, smooth VGA scrolling 

and full 24-bit color for screenmodes up to 640x480 in 

the hardware. A 16.7 million color 320 x 200 fast chunky 

pixel mode with sprites would make for truly impressive 

games! 

5. A full chipset upgrade should be made available as a 

simple motherboard swap for any Amiga, for upgrading 

the A500, 600, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 or 4000 to the 

new chipset Motherboard swaps are quite popular with 

the PC crowd these days, and for good reason. Imagine 

simply popping Out the motherboard in your old A500 

and Roping in a new motherboard with AGA+ graphics, 

an IDE hard drive interface, a 68030-50 and 4Mb of 

FastRAM as standard! 

6. Ditching the Amiga chipset is a bad idea. Instead bury 

It in the machine somewhere so it's always available on 

any Amiga, although another graphics chipset/card can 

be used in its place. 

lir

, 

an already high price. The Amiga is turning into a PC 

and if AT do bring out an Al200+ that has an '030 the 

Al200 will need to be upgraded to be usable. I agree 

that expanding your Amiga will make it quicker and 

greater overall, but if it starts a trend then we will all 

have to spend more money upgrading, trying to keep 

up with the new standards. This will make the Amiga 

look more expensive, less like a home computer and 

more like a PC. 

Zenon Olenski, Tim perley 

I think you've got your dates a little wrong there. 

Zenon. The Amiga 500 was state of the art way back 

when in 1988. not 1990, and cost MO until about 

the middle of that year. But at that time, a half meg 

expansion would have set you back around f 110, not 

134. But as for what you say about upgrading your 

7. All future Amigas should come with a built-in LAN 

connector. 

8. Improve the serial connector with a much larger buffer 

space and consider changing it to a nine-pin connector to 

conserve space. 

9. Implement a stereo FM chip and a stereo 16-bit DAC 

into the Amiga as well as a microphone connector with 

an ADC and a line in with an audio mixer. 

10. Add a SCSI-2 connector as standard but ignore the 

requests to ditch the IDE interface, Keep that for cheap 

hard drives and CD-ROM devices. 

11. I agree that adding in a built-in speaker would be a 

good idea but why not have built-in stereo speakers with 

a volume control on all new Amigas? Just make sure that 

plugging in external speakers automatically deactivates 

them. This might entail a switch to a mini phono plug for 

audio out, a software-controllable switch, or an actual 

hardware switch on the back of the machine. 

12. Also, a MAO better have some sort of built-in RTG 

capabilities just like Ben said. 

Let's hope Amiga Technologies hear our requests and 

really revives the Amiga like it deserves to be. I can't wait 

to get my hands on a PowerPC upgrade for my Amiga 

1200. The future of the Amiga finally shines again. 

Terry Miller, Bartlesville, Oklahoma USA 

*sigh Back to Ben again... 

Right let's go through your points one at a time._ 

1. Agreed, and already stated. 

2. Agreed, particularly with respect to the screen 

blanking for inappropriate modes. 

3_ How much do you want to pay for this machine 

exadly? 

4. I do believe that there has to be a change in the way 

the custom chipset is programmed so that it can deal 

with chunky pixel programming at resolutions where 

planar is inefficient ie. anything over 64 colours in low 

resolutions and over 32 colours in high resolutions, 

But I'll refer you back to my answer for 3 when 

you start talking about 24-bit screenmodes at any 

resolution... 

5. The reason motherboard upgrades are popular with 

the PC crowd is because they are cheap, standard and 

easy to frt. I don't know if you've ever tried removing a 

motherboard from an A500, an A1500 or an A3000T 

like I have, but I can tell you it's no picnic. Besides 

ur 

machine, I would have to say you are talking tosh. 

The computer industry moves faster than a cheetah 

with diarrhoea, and it won't stop just because you 

don't want to spend any money. Computing is like 

any other hobby, it costs money to keep it going. 

And don't you want any games that push the Amiga 

to the full? 

Aren't you one of those people who want Doom 

or Duke Nukem on your machine? Well, they won't 

run unless your Amiga is fast enough and has 

enough memory. 

The fact of the matter is that the Amiga is only a 

cheap machine initially, thereafter it is just like 

any other computer. The major benefit is that you 

don't have to lash out all the cash at once, but 

please don't expect to get the best from a base 

level machine, 


M A Y 1996 

.11.1111MIM 

which, having to make new motherboards for all thew 

machines will drive the cost up higher than that of 

supplying a completely fresh machine. If AT standardise 

their case style as the previous reader's letter 

suggested, then, perhaps, a motherboard upgrade can 

be offered in the future 

6. See 3. 

7. See 3, but in principle I agree. Adding the software 

to allow for networking is more important in my 

opinion. People can always use the serial port for 

a SLIP connection, they don't need a dedicated 

ethernet port 

8, Agreed. Speeding it up would be a good move too. 

9. Hang on, I thought FM sound was worse than the 

Amiga's, Isn't FM synthesis the sort of thing they do on 

really cheap PC sound cards and consoles which is 

only a waveform generator? As for the rest, see 3. 

10. See 3. IDE devices aren't that much cheaper 

than SCSI so the saving for the end user wouldn't 

compensate for the lack of standards. 

11. How much room do you believe will be available 

for shielded speakers in these new Amigas? I think 

supplying one speaker gives people enough sound to 

be going on with. The A3000T automatically switches 

the internal speaker off if there is something connected 

to the audio connectors on the back of the 

machine, so you don't need a switch. 

11 It had better have an awful lot more than just RTG 

compatibility. 

E' ACKLASH 

And so it starts; the somewhat 

unfortunate but perhaps wholly 

predictable backlash against 

Amiga Technologies, I suppose 

. 

1during 

the dreadful Commodore years 

that we cannot " control our in-built and painful cynicism 

about the gurus w (no pun intended) who are now 

responsible for 

e 

the welfare of our chosen machine. 

It is, of course, w all too easy to hunch over our computer 

and complain 

e 

bitterly about the mistreatment 

being dealt Out 

r 

by AT, but could I beg everyone to 

stand back, take a deep breath and for God's sake 

CHILL OUT! It ain't e that bad. 

People were 

a 

discontent that the Amiga had not been 

on sale for over l a year; there was concern that the new 

buyer would just l pinch the technology and be damned 

with the home l computer market; an upgrade was 

needed urgently; e dirt cheap prices were required; the 

future path of the d technology was in some doubt. 

I think it's fair s to say that Commodore were at fault 

over the sale uof 

the company. Typically, they were 

unable to organise c their own funeral effectively because 

they were too h busy trying to screw the biggest buck out 

of some poor a sucker. There's no doubt that the UK 

management buyout m was the most favourable option 

from a user's perspective e - better the devil you know 

and all that - rso 

when Escom pipped it at the last 

moment the trepidation 

r 

was palpable. 

And yet, Escom/AT have shown a remarkable 

y 

commitment to the technology which has certainly 

d 

surprised me. Let us put ourselves in AT's shoes. Having 

a 

just spent in excess of 510 million on a product that 

everyone thought 

n 

was dead, what were they to do? AT 

owned the Amiga, c but at the time it comprised a few 

bits and bobs eof 

hardware scattered around the globe 

with no guarantee that AT could get their hands on any 

4 

its 

cc

of it anyway. So, with a logical - indeed, necessary - 

eye on the Christmas market, AT resolved to put the 

Amigas back in the shops in time for the Yuletide 

celebrations. They were therefore starting from scratch 

and, lo and behold, they did it. Even then, grumblings 

were afoot about pricing, but given that production was 

ramped up so fast I think we should count our 

blessings, particularly as the blow was softened by an 

excellent software bundle. 

If the term cock-up can be levelled at AT, so far there 

are really only two areas that spring to mind: incompatible 

floppy disk drives and Scala MM300. The first is forgivable 

as incompatibility arises only with certain games 

and AT have made moves to sort out problem 

machines - the onus is now on AT to ensure that fixes 

are made quickly and efficiently (that is, after all, what 

the promotion of customer satisfaction is all about). 

The second is a bit more thorny. There is no doubt 

that Scala MM300 is a magnificent piece of software 

and the option to bundle it couldn't be ignored, but AT 

really should have foreseen the lack of memory problem 

with a standard Al200 and made it clear from the 

outset that the program won't run in 2Mb of memory. 

This is most definitely a customer service cock-up 

worthy of Commodore, but even so, I don't believe it is 

insurmountable_ 

Readers may remember that Scala H1/1100 (the 

bottom of the range version, for the uninitiated) was 

given away on a coverdisk some time ago. I have used 

it on my Al200 ever since as it represents one of the 

most intuitive and user-friendly programs I have ever 

seen. Okay, so it doesn't exactly stretch the AGA chipset 

- in fact it doesn't use it at all - but it does emphasise 

that the Amiga is the most friendly tool for this kind of 

work. Most people who see my home videos gasp in 

wonder at the professionalism of the titling, even 

though I only choose from four fonts and work in a 

maximum of 32 colours. If, therefore, Scala WI and 

MM300 were both bundled with Al 200s then users 

could get an immediate glimpse of the capabilities of 

the machine. An exhortation to upgrade could also be 

included - It you think this is great, get an extra 2Mb 

and let MM300 really change your life' - you know the 

sort of thing. 

Maybe I'm just being naive, or maybe I've just owned 

my machine too long, but I genuinely believe that the 

Amiga has a strong future, both as a games machine 

(where the main user base still is) and as a home 

productivity tool that is second to none for ease of use 

and flexibility. So let's stop whining; instead let's enjoy 

and be proud of what we've got and let us look forward 

positively. Just wait for the PowerAmiga, it's gonna be 

a killer. 

Jamie Winter, Waterloo wile 

Finally, one I get to respond to. Your well-reasoned 

argument has persuaded me to let you have the E50 

prize for this month, not something I give lightly. I 

think you are completely correct in your view of how 

AT are doing. When you think that they have gone 

from nothing to producing Amigas inside a year, 

that's a pretty impressive feat in its own right. 

But you are also correct in pinpointing the two 

major failures. The Scala situation is pretty unforgivable 

since I know that Paul Austin and Ben Vost 

brought up the problem of memory and hard drive 

space when Escom held their press conference in 

May last year. 

Originally. Scala was to be bundled with all 

machines. Perhaps AT should install HVII00 as standard 

on all hard drive equipped Al200s, but leave 

MM300 for A4000T owners who would be able to 

make use of it immediately_ 

A MICA COMPUTING FIRST AGAIN 

His headline, not ours 

I often buy a copy of Amiga Computing and more often 

it seems you are first with news articles. I think the 

other magazines try too hard to be first on the shelves 

and then get a month behind with news and articles. 

Several times I have read interesting items in AC before 

the earlier released other magazines. When my 

subscription to another magazine runs out soon I will 

be subscribing to AC instead. 

As a keen Amiga using astronomer I have been 

interested to find more details about a program I heard 

about on the World Astronomy Fidonet echo called 

Digital Universe. Looking at all the astronomy magazines, 

one would be forgiven for thinking that the 

subject was only catered for by the PC, so a new and 

apparently killer serious application for the Amiga is of 

particular interest to me. 

The Amiga has a great range of software but the 

amount of scientific software is very limited and a 

program like this can do much to improve the Amiga's 

(rightful) image as a serious machine. 

Another magazine with the initials AF had a sort of 

astronomy article in their Christmas issue and a half 

promise of a Digital Universe review in the January 

issue, which never materialised. I was delighted to see 

a copy of AC in my newsagent which had the first 

review I have yet seen. The review was good and highlighted 

some of the improvements which could be 

made to the program such as better image quality and 

support for graphics cards (although the latter won't 

affect me). 

There were a couple of factual errors such as the 

Cassini mission going to Jupiter instead of Saturn and 

the odd mention of parallax in relation to Copernican 

theory. By the way, the heliocentric idea was 

first thought of by Aristarcus of Samos - an ancient 

Greek 

I have already sent off to Canada for more info on 

Digital Universe but was glad to see an independent 

review beforehand. The review does not state whether 

I feel I must congratulate your art department for its 

mandellously inventive use of a pint of Guinness (spelt 

with two 'n's incidentally) to indicate that AC97 

contained an article on Irish Amiga users. 

But why stop at the pint o' porter? Ireland has a 

wealth of stereotypical cultural images to choose from. 

realise that it may have been hard to get a decent 

render of a leprechaun, but surely a few shamrocks 

liberally doused around the front cover wouldn't have 

been that difficult, begorrah! 

Otherwise, thanks for a well-balanced and informative 

magazine, now thankfully devoid of those irrelevant 

little electronic symbols. However, I still feel that the 

next time I write an article on the British Amiga scene I 

would be honour-bound to include a piccie of a football 

yob with his Union Jack-waist-coated bulldog attacking 

a roast beef and yorkshire pudding-eating, bowlerhatted, 

gentleman outside Big Ben as is so often the 

scene in your capital city, n'est-ce pas? 

Pat Jackman, Danagh, Wexford, Eire 

To be sure, you're right so you are. lwas a terrible 

thing to do, but our art editor is a desperate man, so 

he is, so I hope you'll be forgiving us. What a Kerry 

man thing to do, eh? Actually, the cover image we 

were trying to get would have been the DigitalWinter

the program can be obtained in the UK or whether yo 

have to order from Canada, though giving the price 

UK pounds was very useful_ It is a pity DU comes on I 

disks and there is not a CD version as yet. The r 

Distant Suns and upgrade First Light will be availab 

for the Amiga on CD according to the distributo 

Chaocity. 

Despite praising AC, I do have one gripe. News an 

articles are good and usually first. However, there is 

glaring (and quite insulting to an astronomer) error o 

the contents page. There is no way that Digital Unive 

is an ASTROLOGY program. Astrology is fortune telli 

superstition which has absolutely nothing to do 

the real and far more fascinating science of astronomy 

William Eaves, Th 

u 

I don't know why we don't just rename this colurnm 

'Ben Vost replies' for all the words I am getting im 

edgeways... 

I believe, Mr Eaves, that if you are still getting the 

aforementioned magazine, you will find the review 

you looked for of Digital Universe in the Mardi 

issue. I have been talking to Dan Charrois. the 

programmer of Digital Universe (that he created the 

whole program and documentation on his own is a 

testament to his perseverance and worthy of an 

award of some sort in its own right), and he tells me 

that much of what I suggested will be implemented 

in the next version of DU, including more colourful 

images and a CD-ROM delivery system. As far as I 

am aware, DU is still only available directly front 

him, but he does reply very swiftly so it will probably 

only take you a little longer to receive your copy 

than if you had ordered it in the UK. 

As for the errors in the review, mea culpa, I got it 

wrong. But the astrology/astronomy cock-up on the 

contents page can be put down to a philistine who 

neither knows nor cares about the difference in the 

two subjects. "It's all to do with stars isn't itr was 

his reply.

EGINNER BASICS 

ease help Out an Amiga beginner 

with Workbench. Some of these 

questions are probably stupid but I 

have worked through the manual, 

plus two Bruce Smith books, without 

finding the answers and I'm getting desperate. 

I have a plain Al200 with an external 

drive and a Cannon BS 10sx, and I have no 

hard drive. 

1. I am customising my WB 3 disk, and 

although I can drag the goodies in from the 

Extras disk, I am unsure of the destination 

drawer. For instance, I have put the Init 

Printer in Preis and double-click it every time 

I boot the machine. There must be a way to 

run 'nit Printer automatically on boot up? 

Also, where should the other items in the 

Tools drawer be placed on the WB3 disk - is 

there some rule that I have missed? 

2. My printer setup works on readme and 

doc files, but every so often I get a 'Cannot 

open your tool much more'. 

3. What are these libraries and where do 

they live on the WB3 disk? I have seen that 

PD libraries offer disks containing extra 

libraries - do I need them? 

4. When I access the Tools menu the only 

item is WB Setup. Where are the user-startup 

and startup-sequence that I am supposed to 

use? 

5. Why do I get 'checksum error on block 

1703' when I try to copy my working copy of 

WB3? All my blank disks cannot be faulty, 

perhaps this is a protection problem? 

6. New programs seems to need more than 

2Mb. How much do you recommend I add 

to keep ahead of the trend? 

Dorerie Cox, Essex 

1. I hope you are using copies of 

, your original Workbench disks 

because if you destroy one of 

them it is a real nuisance try- 

I 

' ing to get hold of replacement 

\ copies. When coping programs 

across . to your Workbench disk it does not 

matter . where you place them. It is gener- 

ally expected that you would put them in 

either the Tools or Utility drawer, and if it 

gets to the stage where you have quite a 

few programs cluttering these drawers you 

might want to consider creating further 

sub-directories and move the appropriate 

programs into these. 

If you want a program to run automatically 

from Workbench 2 you can drag it 

into the WBStartup draw. Each time 

Workbench starts all the programs in this 

drawer are executed, saving you the trouble 

of having to run them all yourself. 

There are a couple of things I would query 

about what you are doing. Firstly I do not 

think it is necessary to run the !nit Printer 

program because when you turn on your 

machine or your machine resets it sends 

the same message to your printer. 

The other thing I must say is why copy 

these programs off the other Workbench 

disks? You have a second drive so why not 

just insert the disks in there and run them 

off their original disks?

MAY 1996 

Helping you to sleep easier at night, 

ACAS will soothe all your troubles away 

2. Either I am the one getting a little 

confused or you are confusing the things 

you are doing. Normally you only get the 

'cannot open your tool blardy War' when 

you double-click on a filers icon that is not 

setup correctly for your computer. This has 

nothing to do with how your printer is 

setup, and is to do with how Workbench 

tries to run programs and the tools 

specified by icons. 

In the case of MuchMore, this is a tool 

used to read text files, If you click on the 

icon and select Information from the 

Workbench menu, you pop up the icon 

information requester. In the default tool 

gadget there will be the text MuchMore. If 

you edit this to just read More or 

MultiView and press save, when you double-click 

the icon you will be able to view 

the file using the program More. 

This sort of thing is a constant pain for 

Amiga users. Because there are so many 

different text readers around you invariably 

end up with the 'cannot open your 

tool blardy blar' requester. There are a 

couple of ways around this. You can either 

use a tool alias program that allows you to 

substitute programs such as MuchMore for 

another program you have, or you can use 

Toolmanger - it was part of our beginne 

coverdisks on our January issue - whi 

allows you to place an Applcon on t 

Workbench that you can drop files into. 

you do this with Multiview you will 

able to view text, sound, graphics a 

even animation files of any Datatype 

have installed. 

3. Another source of constant probl 

for beginners and experienced users a 

the Amiga's libraries. In fact, the Amiga's 

entire operating system, called Kickstart 

is made up of shared run time libraries 

which contain program routines that 

allow programmers to open windows, 

screens and do other jiggery puckery. They 

are called shared because many programs 

can use them at once, and they are rut 

time as they are only loaded into memo 

when necessary. 

Amiga libraries can exist both on yo 

Amiga's ROM and on disks, and allow n 

or updated libraries to be added at a lateri 

date. Normally, as in the case of your 

Workbench disk, they are stored in th 

Libs drawer on the root of yo 

Workbench disk. 

You can find this by selecting Show all 

files from the Workbench window menu. 

Generally if you get a program that needs 

extra libraries other than the standard 

Amiga libraries, they will be supplied with 

the program archive or on the same disk. 

The only exceptions to this are the MUI 

libraries as they are too big. 

In day to day use the only really vital 

third-party library that you should have is 

called ReoTools. This has been around for 

a long time and as such is used by a fair 

few programs, but again it is fairly small - 

about 40k - and is normally supplied with 

any program that uses it. 

4. I take it you are talking about the 

Workbench tools menu, in which case 

there is only meant to be the one entry. 

There are programs Out there that allow 

you to add your own programs to the 

tools menu - Toolmanager being one but,

unfortunately, as standard there is no way 

to add things to this menu in Workbench 

- another over sight by Commodore. 

The startup-sequence and user-startup 

scripts are found in the S directory hidden 

on your Workbench disk. You should not 

change you startup-sequence and do not 

have to touch the user-startup except to 

remove entries. To modify these files you 

need to run a text editor, and the simplest 

way is to open a shell and type Ed s:userstartup. 

This will then load the standard 

text editor with the user-startup file. 

S.! would think this means you have an 

error on your WB3 disk and not the disks 

you are copying to. If you are going to be 

constantly copying to one disk then it is 

inevitable you will get some sort of disk 

error. The only way to fix this is to get 

hold of a file recovery program. One of the 

best is Disksalv - version 2 is shareware 

and is available from any decent PD house 

- or the more up-to-date version 3 is a 

commercial product but does provide 

more comprehensive tools. 

Another disk tool worth getting hold of 

is Rear. As you are constantly copying, 

deleting and moving files on your disks, 

the free room on the disk gets split up 

Into small sections and can make disk 

access very slow. Reorg reorganises your 

disks so all your programs are stored in 

the most efficient manner. 

6. Not only should you consider the 

amount of RAM you have, but also storage 

space and processor speed. 

The most commonly used programs 

such as Wordworth and Final Writer now 

need several megabytes of space along 

with the normal Workbench files, libraries 

and devices. This all adds to you needing 

a lair bit of storage space, the only real 

answer being a hard drive. 

When it comes to RAM. you can never 

really have enough. You do not actually 

say what you plan to use your Amiga for, 

but if it is for word processing then adding 

another 2Mb will be enough. The thing is, 

accelerators are so cheap nowadays that 

it is worth considering getting one instead 

of a plain RAM board, and as most appli-. 

cations are aimed at the base Al200, any 

speed increase is always very noticeable. 

D CONCERNS 

I have recently decided to join the CD-ROM 

revolution and would like a few questions 

answered. 

The unit I am considering is the Power 

Computing quad-speed CD-ROM, if I can afford 

it. I currently have an Al200 with a 120Mb hard drive, 

4Mb Amitek Hawk FastRAM expansion with no FPI! and 

two external floppy drives. I would like to know if the 

drive will work with this setup and if the later addition 

of a 33MHz FPU would have any effect on the system. 

Additionally, I also have access to an A15043 running 

Kickstart 3.1. 

This machine has a GVP HC8 hard drive/RAM board 

with an external SCSI connector. Would it be possible to 

use the CD drive with this machine if a suitable cable 

could be obtained. 

Mark Henderson, West Midlands 

ELUCTANT RENO 

Following your review of the Reno CD drive I rushed to 

purchase one. Having eventually connected the CD- 

ROM drive to my Al200, after some problems receiving 

the correct gender changer, I placed the installation 

disc in DEO, only for the icon to appear as 

DFO:???. On closer reading of the directions I see that 

one has to be running Windows in order to operate 

the CD-ROM drive. 

I was under the impression that Workbench, as 

the operating system of the Amiga, made having 

Windows unnecessary. Do I now have to purchase 

Windows or is there a way of operating 

the CD-ROM drive from Workbench? 

Indeed, is Windows compatible with the 

Amiga 1200? If it is necessary to have 

Windows, I would have thought that 

you would have made thi5 clear in 

your article. 

M Fleming, Surrey 

You seem to 

have got your 

wires crossed 

a little 

here. To solve 

your main problem 

you need to get hold 

of, but should have 

received with the 

Reno drive, the AmiC0- 

Handler software. This is 

because unless you have 

Workbench 3.1 you do not automatically 

have the software that will make your Amiga 

recognise the CD drive. This software provides the file 

syste m tha t will a llow your Amiga to re a d a ny C D drive R e n o drive ma ke s a good choice for a C D drive 

connected via a SCSI interface. 

Once you have got hold of the AmiCDHandler software 

you need to install it. This is much easier than it may sound because you install the software using a standard 

installer script. All you have to know is the name of your SCSI device - if you are using a Squirrel this is squirrelscsidevice 

- and the SCSI Id number of the Reno drive - this can be set on the Reno drive itself. Once this is done 

you can run the device driver and the wonderful world of CD awaits you. 

I think I should clear up a little confusion you are having about Windows. I would guess the disk that came with 

the Reno drive was a HD PC disk that the Al200 cannot read which is why the DRI:???? icon appears. Windows is 

the operating system written by Microsoft, and it comes in a number of flavours - the most commonly used being 

Windows 95 for PC IBM compatible computers - and you are right in thinking Workbench makes needing 

Windows unnecessary, and also that Windows is unavailable for the Amiga. If Windows 95 was available for the 

Amiga you would need an Al200 with 16Mb RAM, an 040 processor and a 1/2 Gb hard drive, and even then it 

would not do anything more than Workbench already does. 

As far as I know the Amitek board will 

work fine with 4Mb of RAM, in as 

much as any of the RAM expansions 

work fine, as long as only 4mb of RAM 

is used. Normally, if plain RAM expansions, 

not accelerators, have more than 4Mb the PC 

slot is made redundant as the RAM expansion uses 

the same address space as the PC slot, so the 

processor cannot access the PC slot. 

This does not effect accelerator boards as they use 

their own address space which allows them to 

access much more memory than a standard Al200 - 

up to 128Mb. 

Adding a FPU should also have no effect on the CD 

drive, but you do not need such a fast FPI/ because 

using a 13MHz chip on a standard Al200 will only 

give you a slight speed increase over using a 20 or 


MAY 19 9 6 

" Sma ll. porta ble a nd pe rfe ctly forme d. The 

• alp 

4Mhz version. Data is still supplied and taken from 

the WU at 14MHz so a faster FPU is standing idle 

much of the time. 

To get the CD to work with the GVP interface you 

will not only need the correct connection but also 

the correct software, If the machine has the full 

Workbench 3.1 software then there is a CO DOS driver 

supplied with it. To adjust this for use with the 

GVP board you need to drag it from the storage 

drawer over to the Devs DOS drivers drawer. Pop up 

the information requester and change the Unit entry 

to the SCSI ID of the CD drive, and change the device 

driver name to that of the GVP device drive - this will 

probably be something like gvpscsialevice. Once 

everything is connected up you can double-click the 

DOS driver icon and the CD drive should be 

available.

SAMPLE 

I have a stock Al200 and am look- 

) ing to buy a I6-bit sound sampler 

that has high quality recording with 

a minimum of hiss. I would be willing 

to upgrade the Al 200's processor 

and RAM if the sampler requited it, any 

suggestions?

OWER UP 

I have an Al 200 with a 120Mb hard drive and two simple questions. When do you think t 

PowerPC boards will be available for the Al200 in the United States and what will they c 

in cold, hard US dollars? I will appreciate as much information as you can give me on HI 

subject 

Secondly, talking of money, can you list the price of things in American dollars as well 

UK pounds, or heti 

yet why not print 

UK vs USA curren

matter of course 

every issue? 

Something like th 

sure would help u 

on this side of th 

pond. 

Christopher Mohr, 

Coliform 

The original release 

from Phase 5 states 

that PowerPC boards 

will be available mid 

1996. 

These will be 

available in a num- 

ber of configurations, 

initially from 

Slow-end' 100MHz 

MCP603e up to 

150MHz MCP604 

boards. There are 

also plans to develop 

high-end systems 

that will be packing 

300MHz MCP620 

and will include 64bit 

wide memory 

and bus systems, 

with an optional PG 

bridge. The initial 

price range is from DM1000 up to DM2000, which translates roughly to E450-E900 

367541350. Obviously, things are still at an early stage and the final specifications and 

pricing could, and probably will, change. 

Along with the board I would expect you will get PowerPC software support. As a 

PowerPC processor will be able to run Emulated 680x0 code faster than your Al200, 

some sort of emulator will come with it. Along with this you will also get CyberGmphy 3 

which is going to give the Amiga proper RTC support along with a set of new 3D libraries. 

Personally, I cannot see why we could not print the prices in US dollars, but I will have 

to see what our production staff have to say.

It might not seem to be the most interesting 

subject on which to base a CanDo presentation 

but, in actual fact, How To Tie Dye is a 

readable, informative and absorbing disk. 

More and more tie-dyed clothes are in 

evidence these days, and if you fancy having 

a crack at producing your own, this is an 

ideal place to stall. 

The main menu offers information on how 

to get started, the various techniques which 

can be employed to produce different 

colourful effects, and the decisions you'll 

need to make along the way. As well as 

simple text (overlaid, of course, on suitably 

garish backdrops) there are black-and-white 

digitised pictures and diagrams, some of 

which can be clicked on to bring up more 

facts and advice. How To Tie Dye so

even toyed with the idea of having a stab at

I'm completely pathetic at that sort of thing. 

Still, if you're not, then How To Tie Dye is 

strongly recommended. It comes on two 

disks and requires at least Workbench 2.

Scarcely a month goes by without at least 

one updated version of a golden oldie 

tumbling gently through the Public Sector 

postbox. This time, it's the turn of that 

arcade gem Defender to make a welcome 

reappearance. 

Just in case you've never encountered 

Defender (admittedly a rather unlikely 

scenario), the aim is to protect a planet 

from alien invaders who seek to steal precious 

canisters of, erm, something or 

other. Basically, the idea is to shoot the 

beasties into lots of tiny pieces. 

Yes, high speed blasting action is the 

order of the day, and it's as tough and 

unforgiving as can be. Simply hurtling 

through each level blasting frantically 

won't get you very far, although you'll 

have to take extra care when carefully 

combing the planetscape because Phantom doesn't feature the scanner that many such games 

do. Decent enough graphics and some nice atmospheric music are the icing on the cake. 

Phantom's a worthy purchase, although since it's shareware you really should send the author a 

fiver as a registration fee.

Surveymem ca n bis se t up to wit your ne e ds using tho ha ndy pre fe re nce s progra m 

This is another interesting collection of utilities. 

First up, AddPovver, is yet another do-it-all 

commodity. Many of the features found in 

MultiCX, MCP, YAK and all the others are here 

too, as well as some novel ideas like automatic 

centedng of workbench windows and minor 

menu enhancements. It also manages Assigns, 

CLI Aliases, and so on. It's all nicely done, 

although to be honest you'll only ever need 

one of these programs and I'm personally 

still an MCP fan. If the author Ian Einman 

continues to develop AddPower, though, that 

situation could change. 

Associate is a handy program for assigning 

icons to files. Selecting 'Show All Files' then 

d . ng one or more files onto the Associate 

Applcon will create icons based on the file 

type, so, for instance, all picture files could 

have the same icon and all sound samples 

another. If the program can't recognise a file 

type, a requester pops up and asks you to 

select an icon. 

Then there's Autostart, which acts effectively 

like a more powerful version of Workbench 

3.0's WBStartup drawer, Workbench tools, 

shel commands and scripts, and ARexx scripts 

can all be started. It's also slightly more versatile 

than WBStartup because pressing the

mouse button allows you to skip the loading of 

certain programs. With a pleasant interface and 

some excellent documentation, Autostad is 

definitely worth a look. 

Surveymem is - hurrah! - another memory 

monitor program. Still, it's a very good one 

which runs as a commodity, has a highly configurable 

display, and can be popped onto the 

frontmost public screen at any time. It also has 

a groovy graphical memory display. 

TrashIcon dumps a trash can on the 

Workbench screen, and all files dragged onto 

this Applcon are deleted. It also rather usefully 

updates the Workbench window so you can 

see what's been wiped. 

Of course, nothing's perfect: there's a nicely 

presented screenblanker, Multiblank, which 

includes all the usual screen savers (staifields, 

flying toasters, etc), but seems worryingly 

unstable for a terminate and stay resident 

program. 

And there is also Colors, which might be 

marvellous but I haven't the foggiest what it 

does because the documentation was totally 

garbled and the program crashed my system. 

But apart from these two slight disappointments, 

this is an excellent collection of 

Workbench utilities.

n U se ful utilitie s a re wa iting to be de compre sse d on this disk 

An Amiga Club International compilation disk consisting of carefully 

selected Lha archives and their accompanying ReadMe files, this disk 

attempts to provide a handy workbench utility for everyone. 

There's lconlmage and Iconinstaller which, unsurprisingly, allow 

you to do fancy things with icons. Both have nice drag and drop 

interfaces and are capable of changing icon images without altering 

the tooltypes, amongst other handy features. MUI-Join is a file splitting 

and rejoining program making use of Stefan Stuntz's Magic User 

Interface_ RAMicon allows you to install a nice icon for the RAM Disk, 

instead of the dull standard floppy disk icon. ReKeylt allows you to 

redefine the keyboard shortcuts for Workbench menu functions. 

XToolbox creates a little window containing pull-down menus 

which can include all sorts of programs - a little like Toolmanager, 

plus a rather attractive 3D interface but minus a friendly configuration 

program and the more fancy features. Still, it remains probably the 

most useful archive on the disk. 

As ever, there are a couple of little workbench memory monitor 

programs - useful to programmers, but surely there are enough of 

these around by now. There are also OS 3,0 datatypes for Windows 

Icons, and Macpaint, PCX and .BMP picture files, as well as a processor 

preferences program, and some odd inclusions such as the 

occasional Swedish or Italian catalog file. Varied then, but scarcely 

indispensable.

AUNTED BY YOU 

The latest version of the wonderful Master Control Program, complete 

with numerous bug fixes and little enhancements, is now available. 

There are separate 68000 and 68020 versions of the all-singing, 

all-dancing commodity and an the updated preferences program uses 

MI, giving it an attractive interface which makes configuring MCP to 

your tastes a swift and simple task, MCP v1.10 is freeware, and is

Programmed by: Graham Mackarel 

Available from: Underground PD 

A variation on another classic game of yesteryear, namely Breakout. Here, 

instead of using a ball to demolish a wall, you use clowns hopping on a 

seesaw to pop passing balloons. 

The game is controlled by mouse and there is a definite knack to making 

the flying clown land at just the right point on the seesaw to launch the other 

clown as high as possible into the air. 

There are also bonus objects which appear when certain balloons are burst 

and can be collected to give your clowns special abilities. These include 

Umbrellas which earn you an extra life and lots of points, Diddy Balloons 

which allow you to control the flying clown's position with the mouse, and 

Wings, with which the flying clown can gain extra height. 

There's a second game on the disk called Drip, by a bloke called Art Skiles, 

which bears something of a similarity to Pacman. The objective is to travel 

around a screenful of pipes, rusting the pipes as you go. Along the way, 

various enemies will be in pursuit, ranging from ice cubes to electric coils. If 

they get too close, you can 'drip' yourself down the screen to another pipe. 

With 15 levek to negotiate (none of them very easy), Drip presents a longterm 

challenge. It's been knocking around the Public Domain for some time 

but as one of two simple but addictive games on this disk, it should provide 

plenty of entertainment. 

LTI MATUM 

Classy presentation, atmospheric music, and 

some flashy introduction screens set the scene 

beautifully for this futuristic 3D shoot-'em-up. 

The year is 2030 and crime levels are at an 

all-time high. A new breed of criminals, the 

Transgressors, increasingly control every aspect 

of city life. The law enforcement agencies have 

poured all their resources into ending the violence 

but until now, they've struggled to contain 

it. Now they've come up with a new 

weapon in the fight against crime: the 

Vindicators. 

you play one such Vindicator, Rick Murphy, 

whose family has just been wiped out in a 

cunning strike by the Transgressors. In an effort 

to gain revenge you have challenged the 

Transgressor gang members to a series of oneon-one 

tank duels in special combat arenas. 

Ultimatum is an enjoyable blaster, with 

plenty to challenge even hardened garners. Its 

not perfect; there's some irritating disk swapping 

during loading, although thankfully the 

game is hard drive installable, and whilst the 

graphics are colourful, they are functional 

rather than spectacular. The frame rate isn't 

stunningly impressive either which can, at 

times, make keeping track of your enemy's 

position rather awkward. Still, 3D games frequently 

suffer graphically due to their complexity, 

and since Ultimatum was written in AMOS 

3D, a lot of these problems aren't really the 

author's fault. Besides, the most important 

aspect of any game is the playability and in 

that respect Ultimatum fares well, making it 

definitely worth a look. It requires at least an 

Al 200 to run, and is shareware, with the registration 

fee being fifteen Australian or ten US 

dollars.

COUT v2.3 

Cl The ra the r ta sty M tn inte rfa ce of the 

highly informa tive Scout 

Scout allows you to monitor what's going 

inside your Amiga. It can display lists of tas 

resident commands, assigns, ports and 

on. You can also mess around quite a b 

freezing tasks or removing interrupts f 

instance. 

The program uses MUI and it's extrem 

user-friendly el as a result. All the information 

displayed in neat little windows and oper 

tions can be performed at the click of a b 

ton. However, if you're not an MUI fan, vi 

ttul ally all of Scout's features can be accessed 

via the shell. 

Scout also has an ARexx port with an 

impressive range of commands supported b 

the program. Apparently, its even possible to 

use Scout as a TCP/IP service through 

AmiTCP v4.0 so that your machine is avail. 

able to other machines in a network. 

Whilst the information Scout can provide 

you with isn't necessarily going to be incredi. 

bly exciting, it should be extremely useful to 

programmers, and control freaks will appre 

ciate the numerous options available.

EPSI ALL OVER THE WORLD 

In a bizarre Promoware move equalled only 

by a rather tragic McDonalds tie-in that's 

been doing the rounds, Pepsi Cola now 

features in an Amiga PD game. 

Pepsi All Over The World 5 

pants. , in The thing a is, it's so laughably poor 

that it's worth a look. 

w o r d , 

I might be missing something here 

because my command of German is not 

what it used to be, but the game seems to 

consist of five little subgames set in different 

countries dotted around the world. In a 

stunning example of racial stereotyping, 

each place has its own wacky activity. 

In Ireland your task is to collect fish as 

they swim downstream. In Egypt you must 

guide a robed chappy across a river in 

classic frogger style to a Pepsi Can machine 

on the far bank, and in Alaska (not a country 

in fact, but these you go...) you must 

help catch oil dripping from burst pipelines. 

Quite what any of these weird gamelets 

have to do with Pepsi Cola is something of 

a mystery, although the intro screens are 

plastered with logos and curious caffeine 

lovers can at least find out how Pepsi is 

written in Japanese. 

The graphics are alright, I suppose, but 

that doesn't after the fact that what we have 

here are five simplistic and hopelessly inadequate 

examples of what can be achieved

°SWELL DEMO AGA II 

Aliens have been visiting our planet for 

years. It's true — for years the American government 

have kept hidden numerous close 

encounters of the third kind. In fact, they 

may even have conducted top secret discussions 

with alien races. If we're to believe 

certain people, that is. 

The problem with believing such conspiracy 

theories is that they all seem so far 

fetched, and they are extremely hard to 

prove. It must be said that the footage of 

the Roswell incident, which has received 

much publicity recently and featured in a 

Channel Four programme last year, has not 

helped things at all. 

Now widely regarded as not being the 

work of some imaginative con artist, the 

famous scenes of short, pot-bellied 

humanoids being studied by curious men in 

lab coats are laughed at by many. If you've 

never seen any of the film, or you're just 

keen to get your hands on your very own 

twenty seconds of fuzzy black and white 

computerised footage, then it might be

A real problem with the Internet is the amount of 

jargon it throws up. So before you even think of 

installing AmiTCP there are a number of very important 

terms you need to understand that will relate to 

some very important pieces of information you will 

have, or should get, from you Internet provider. 

The best way to explain is to take a look at what 

the Amigo Computing account looks like. If you 

want to e-mail us our main e-mait address Is 

acomp.demon.co.uk. This can be splif 

number of parts, each of whichis given a fame:

using AmiTCP. From everything I have heard 

and the number of letters we get through 

the post, there are many people Out there 

having a lot of problems installing and using 

AmiTCP. So I have decided to take my life in 

my hands and install AmiTCP from scratch, 

in the possibly vain hope that someone else 

might gain some help from seeing what I 

did to get it up and running. 

Before you can install AmiTCP for your 

Internet provider you will need to use a 

standard comms package to dial up your 

account so you can logon and enter 

your password. To do this you will 

need a program such as Term or 

Ncomm.

Name servers are the machines that will redirect 

your Internet net traffic to the correct destination. 

Having named servers allows you to use the 'named'

IALER 

The first bid( tact/ I ran straight into when I 

first installed AmiTCP was that there is no pro. 

sided way to actually dial up your Internet 

provider. Typically, when you first use ArniTCP 

you have to use a comms package such as 

Term or NComm to log onto your account, 

and then start AmiTCP. The problem here is 

that you then normally have to quit the 

comms package, and unless you have set up 

your modem not to drop the carrier it will 

immediately link down - not vely helpful. 

To get around this you either how to use 

one of the many ARea dialler scripts - a little 

overwhelming to set up for my liking - or on 

this month's coverdisk there is a tiny tool 

called Dialer. This consists of the dialerdevice 

which should be copied into your DEVS drawer, 

and a text file called dialeraconfig that 

needs to be edited to suit your own needs. 

You will need to add the correct Baud rate for 

your modem, your own Internet provider's 

phone number, and your login name and 

password The protocol you will be using will 

be SLIP, and then you save the file to 

ENVARC You should install dialler before 

installing AmiTCP as you will need to choose 

the dialerdevice part way through installing

LINSTALLING AMITCP 

This is where the fun begins. If you understand what 

the various parts of your host name are and you have 

your computer and your Internet provider's IP address, 

actually installing AmiTCP should riot be a problem. 

With all this information at hand, double-click the 

AmiTCP installer icon and away you go. I am assuming 

you are a home user connecting over your phone line 

using a modem with the normal Amiga serial port to 

your Internet provider. 

For comparison the Amiga Computing details are as 

follows: 

user name 

node name 

domain name 

host name 

IP address 

Demon IP address 

You need to create an AmiTCP drawer, usually on the 

root of you Work directory, where all the AmiTCP files 

can live 

update the Sono Il devices 

install the new fonts, if you wont 

edit 

acomp 

demon.co.uk 

acomp.clemon.co.uk 

158.151101.200 

158.152.1.65 

enter your user name - acomp 

login name, anything you wont acomp 

This is where things start to become a 

little more trickier. The Internet started 

off being run on Unix machines, and 

the vast number of Internet providers 

use Unix machines which are very 

powerful and configurable but are 

incredibly complex. Unfortunately, a 

lot of the software for the Amiga has 

simply been ported over from Unix 

machines which means you have to 

create a lot of the files and directories 

found on Unix machines before you 

can use these programs. 

To receive mail you need to install 

a 5MTPd service to AmiTCP. This 

stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and was initially used lor transferring files from 

Unix box to another remote one. It is, however, perfect for mail and news purposes. 

People just using the standard AmiTCP installer need to add a few things to mak 

using mail and newsgroup programs much simpler. Firstly, you need to create a num 

of new directories in your AmiTCP drawer. Create a drawer called usr and in this dra 

create four more drawers called mail, news, libs and spool. These will be used to stoN 

related files. Next you need to edit the Stadnet script found in the AmiTCP:Bin drawer. It 

this you need to add the following lines, but you could, alternatively, add them to youl 

user-startup: 

select root directory, why not the AmiTCP drawer 

click proceed on shell 

EMON USERS 

Demon is one of the largest Internet 

providers in the UK and provide support, if 

limited, for Amiga users. This comes in two 

forms -when you first join they give you a 

single install disk that will set up AmigaNOS 

so you can FTP, e-mail and use newsgroups. 

Unfortunately, as AmigaNOS is not supported 

by anyone else you are stuck with these original 

programs and you really do need to 

upgrade to AmiTCP. Unofficially, Demon

anyone who is on the Internet, or is strut

news.demon.co.ok 

Next you need to get hold of the AmiTCPsmtpd.lha file from Aminet. Once you 

have unpacked it, copy the rMail into the AmiTCP bin drawer, and copy the file 

insmtpd to the serv drawer. You now need to add this line anywhere in the 

AmiTCP:db/inetd.cont file. 

s•to s t r e a m t c m noirait root •mitcp:serviin.smtod

(your Node name) 

(your Oast name)

(your name) 

(your alit server) 

This will then allow AmiTCP to access this new service, so allowing you to receive 

new e-mails that will then be placed in the correct mail box in the uumail: directory. 

You then need to create a file called canfig in the AmiTCP:usr/lib drawer. You 

archive. For Demon users the installation will 

set everything up perfectly so you will be 

able to use e-mail and newsgroups along 

with all the other normal services. 

Non-Demon users will have to alter a 

number of files to make sure everything is 

set up correctly. Unfortunately, there is not 

enough room to specify exactly what you 

have to change, but you should use a 

text editor to check the entries in the 

Now, theoretically, if you open a shell and type 

Startnet, AmiTCP will startup, dial your Internet 

provider, and you should then be on-line. If you have 

made any mistakes during installation this is where 

they will show up. 

If the dial script fails to connect you to the Internet 

provider then check it is dialling the correct number. 

If it is connecting and then failing, check you have 

entered the correct baud rate for your modem - it 

could be too fast - or perhaps you have entered the 

wrong login name or password. 

If you manage to successfully connect to your 

Internet provider, the only main reason for things not 

working at this stage is that you may have entered 

the wrong OP address of either your own machine, 

the default server address, or possibly of the 

other named servers. You should carefully check the 

Aminet:bin/Startnet file, and also the Aminet: 

db/resolv.conf file. 

The easiest way to check if everything is working 

correctly is to use the Ping and Finger commands. 

These allow you to find out a number of things. Ping 

is used to show you how fast a connection you have

to another site, while if you Finger another person 

you can find out more about them - 'Just like in real 

life, You Ping sites and Finger users, so you could trying 

pinging src.dac.ic.ac.uk and fingering 

wizards@dackccuk to see if 1you are connected - 

no response is a bad sign. 

Once everything is up and running the first thing 

you want to do is get yourself a decent FTP client 

program. The shell based one 1that comes with 

AmiTCP is called ncftp and is very good as far as any 

shell program can be, but if you have a GUI you 

want to use GUI programs. 

Currently, in my opinion, the 1best FIP program is 

ArriFTP, and to get this you will need to ftp to one of 

the Aminet sites. For UK users, src.cloc.ic.ac.uk is the 

best site to go for, and US users should try ftp.netnetnet. 

To ftp open a shell type the following: 

"

open -a sec.doc.ic.ac.uk

'Once these files have been setup you will be able to receive e-mails and news 

from newsgroups. You should be able to use most mail programs straight off as 

many use these directories and variables as standard. Metatool would be a good 

starting choice. 

The big advantage for Demon users, or if you decide to use the Demon installer, is 

1 

that all these files are already set up for you, therefore saving you an awful lot of 

time. Also, the installer program is far more straightforward and uses plain English to 

describe what information you are meant to enter next. All in all it took me two 

days to get AmiTCP up and running, after which I could safely use AmFTP, AmIR 

C 1and iBrowse. It then took a further day to work out why Newsgroups were not 

working.

Currently, the part of the Internet that has 

the highest profile is the World Wide Web. 

As it is the most recent addition to the 

Internet it has taken advantage of faster 

network connections and more powerful 

computers by having a much more media 

rich environment allowing Web pages to 

be splattered with graphics and text. 

Introduced back in 1990 by CERN scientists 

who wanted a better way to share 

information between themselves, the number 

of Web sites out there has exploded, 

with now literally millions and millions of 

pages covering every aspect of human 

behaviour for you to look at 

The Web works by using a special language 

that is used to 'describe' how a 

Web page should look. Your Web browser 

reads this description and does its best to 

produce the page. This language is called 

HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language. 

When this was first invented by the people 

at CERN it was very basic, allowing simple 

textual links between pages and basic 

positioning of images on these pages. 

HTML is now in its third revision, with 

many of the new commands being introduced 

by the now very rich NetScope people. 

More recent versions of the language 

allow better text and graphic formatting, 

and all manner of gadgets can be added 

to pages allowing users to interact with 

A 

EB SURFING 

MIGA SITES 

UMW 

Web pages. The latest version of HTML 

allows complex tables to be defined, giving 

Web designers even greater flexibility in how 

their pages should appear. The latest addition 

to HTML are frames which allow you to 

add mini Web pages that act like menus to 

the main Web page display, giving the user 

short cuts to the various parts of your Web 

site. Unfortunately, no Amiga Web browser 

supports frames but they are not too far 

behind. 

Currently available for Amiga Web browsing 

is AMosaic and the much superior 

iBrowse. Both are available via anonymous 

FTP from ftp.omnipresence.com in the 

pub/amigo directory. !Browse is planned to 

be a commercial browser and only demo 

versions of it are available for you to use - 

these will normally stop working after 30 

days of use. This will then leave you with 

only AMosaic to play with, which is a great 

deal slower and is not as stable in use. 

LOOKING GOOD 

Things are looking up on the Amiga Web 

browser side of things as, currently, I know of 

10 projects. Along with AMosaic iBrowse and 

Mind Walker all of which are MUI-based 

browsers, there is AWeb, Hyperion, Juggler, 

Step 4, Web Link, ALynx and P'Jami. The last 

is the most interesting of the lot as it is 

actually port of a larger project involved with

The quickest way of getting hold of files on the Internet is through FTP which stands for File 

Transfer Protocol and allows you to access remote computers as if they were a drive on your 

own computer using what is known as a FTP 

When you connect to HP sites most of them will require that you login - normally you will 

be doing what is known as anonymously T h i s requires that you login with the name 

'anonymous' - and if you forget how to spell anonymous many places will also accept ftp - 

then for your password you enter your e-mail address. Luckily, many of the new FP clients 

can do this logging on process for you automatically which makes linking up to a FP site 

that much faster - ArnFTP and ncftp included. 

It is more than likely that the first FIP program you use is a Shell-based one that comes 

with AmiTCP, called ndtp. As far as Shell ftp programs go it is very good, but you will quickly 

want to get hold of a GUI-based program. Currently, ArriFTP is probably the best available 

one for the Amiga, but you will need MUI to use it. A good none MUI alternative is GUI-FTP 

which uses normal Amiga gadgets. 

One of the major uses of an FTP client for the Amiga user is to access Aminet sites. Aminet 

was set up a good number of years ago, being run on an A3000, and was quickly transferred 

to a University site. The main site is now run from Wuarchive in America, and holds a 

ridiculously large amount of Amiga-related tools, utilities, pictures, modules, reviews and 

magazines. Current Internet goers may have noticed recently that Wuarchive has actually not 

being working properly because they had a major hard drive crash and lost a lot of files. 

However, Aminet is now up and running correctly.

IRC is a very buoyant part at the Internet because it allows people to 

talk to each other 'live', as it were, no matter where they are. As with 

FTP, to use IRC you need an IRC client, and from this you link to your 

particular IRC server. Once on you can choose to join one of the 

thousands of different chat groups that are known as channels. 

Before you can get on IRC you have to give yourself a unique nickname 

that everyone on the channel can refer to you by. It does nut 

particularly matter what it is, but if you join a channel regularly you will 

start to recognise other regular users through their own nick names. 

All the chat channels on IRC start with if and the standard Amiga 

channel is, surprise surprise, #Amiga. All IRC commands start with / so 

to join the Amiga channel you type /join *Amigo. Once you have 

joined, if you want to say anything just type away and every time you 

hit return everyone can read what you have just said. 

On IRC you are not just restricted to plain old public chat, you can 

talk direct to other IRCers either using the /msg cornmand, 

or can even use DCC chat if you want a more secure direct link. 

It is also possible to send files between people using DCC send, but if 

the recipient is on the other side of the world do not expect the 

transfer to be too speedy. 

A constant pain for IRCers are net splits, and when one happens 

certain users seem to 'disappear' from the current channel. Depending 

where you are in relation to the net split, only a couple of people may 

be lost from the channel or virtually everyone can appear to go. Net 

splits are just a side effect of how the Internet is put together and 

some days can be worse than others - you just have to put up with 

them. AmIRC is good because it can tell you which people have been 

lost to a net split, so if you were talking to someone at least you know 

why they have just left. 

There is little IRC etiquette needed, but generally it is more a matter 

of common sense, like not going onto the Amiga channel and continuously 

saying how great PCs are and how rubbish Amigas are because 

you will simply get kicked off by one of the rhannel opt Channel ops 

are users with more privileges than normal which allows them to kick 

people off the current channel and even put a j.ermanent ban on 

them. 

Another use for IRC is that you can create new channels whenever 

you like by joining a non-existent channel. This allows specially organised 

conferences to be arranged, or you could just create one to have 

a private chat with someone else.

SoftWood camp. Not to be out 

done by Digita, SoftWood have 

0 he lite' phenomenon has hit the 

seen in to release a cut-down version 

of their top selling page publisher, Final 

Writer 4. The Amiga has always been sold as a 

complete low-cost computer system, and as 

such there are many people who have 

Amigas but do not have the funds to expand 

the machine past the basic specification. 

Due to the competition between Final 

Writer and Wordworth, both programs have 

seen many new features added, so the 

resources needed to run them has grown 

along with the programs. This has reached 

the point where a basic Al200 is not enough, 

so a cut-down version of the original program 

is a superb idea because owners of unexpanded 

Al 200s can still use these excellent 

programs. 

IMPORTANT FEATURES 

Final Writer lire is basically the same as the 

original program, but with the most important 

features remaining. This is not as bad as it 

may sound because virtually all the original 

features make it into the lite version intact. 

You get all the recent changes to Final Writer 

A's interface, including the addition of the 

click tabs that allowed all the menus to be 

reorganised into a much clearer order, with all 

the preference options being moved into their 

own specific requesters. The click tabs are 

atso used in the main window to allow you to 

quickly jump between different pages 

and document sections, making document 

navigation much quicker. 

The omissions that have been made 

are kept to a minimum. The first two, and 

probably the ones you would expect,are the 

grammar checker and all the AReu functions. 

Leaving out the grammar checker is not much 

of a surprise as it is very large - over a 

megabyte - and the ARexx port is probably 

used by only a small percentage of users, so 

no great loss there. 

Type and spell has gone, even though the 

normal Collins dictionary and thesaurus 

remain untouched. It is also impossible now 

to import EPS images. The postscript library 

used to handle the EPS images was large, and 

displaying EPS images is quite processor 

intensive so this is understandable, If you 

have EPS images this is quite a disadvantage 

as there are not too many programs that will 

alow you to convert an EPS to an IF image, 

which is the only format Final Writer will 

import . • 

One thing you do lose that is not part of 

the program as such is all the extra fonts and

and place in your documents. The loss of the 

group function also means that if you import 

a Final Writer document that has grouped 

objects, the lite version will simply treat it as a 

single graphic object, so you will be unable to 

modify this except for being able to resize it. 

For the money you are paying, Final Writer 

lite is superb value. The features that have 

been removed are not essential - practically 

speaking, the only two that could cause you 

problems are the loss of the group functions 

and the inability to import EPS graphics, but if 

you are only planning to do letters, faxes or 

straightforward essays the functions that 

remain are more than enough. All Final 

Writer's text formatting functions remain 

untouched, and as long as you don't want to 

do any fancy diagrams with the structured 

drawing tools, you will be able to use all Final 

Writer's drawing tools to the full. 

For people with a limited budget who need 

a page processor that will work on a 

low specification machine, Final Writer lite 

provides everything you need,

heavy-handed standfirst for this 

review, but the 

O truth of the matter

is that, notwithstanding its

r 

It does this through a 

method called 'apply 

emodes'. 

These use control 

t 

curves in one layer to affect 

t 

your polygons (in another layer), 

ybut 

the great thing is that if that 

curve is just too tight for your polygons, 

or if it doesn't fit your requirements properly, 

all you have to do is reform the curve 

into the shape you want and then hit apply 

once more. This will reform your polygons 

around the new curve's shape ad infinitum, 

and if you decide that you didn't want to 

deform your polygons after all, you always 

have the reset command to bring 

everything back to its starting point 

The best thing about this constant mutation 

of your curve is the fact that you can 

save off its results and carry on going. The 

hair on the model I have created for this 

review is an example of this. I started with 

a triangular polygon which I extruded. 

Then, using the RailBend tool I bent the

While I have painted a very rosy picture of MacroForm, all is not 

well if you try to use it under the following conditions: 

Firstly, MacroForm is really designed for LightWave 3.5. It works 

partially with version 3,1 for any of you with an un-upgraded 

Tooster4000, but any functions which require the hiding of 

polygons will fail owing to the fact that this version of LightWave 

cannot hide polygons. Users of the new Light Wave 4.0a will also be 

disappointed in varying amounts depending on whether they can 

get MacroForm to work. I had no joy, but OAO Media tell me they 

hove users successfully using MacroForm with 4. 

However, owing to a bug in Modeler, ARexx macros run anywhere 

between five and twenty times slower than they do in 3.5, a 

problem NewTek have been informed of and are trying to do something 

about. OA° Media are themselves working on a plug-in 

version of Macro form which will circumvent these problems and 

will be available as an upgrade for registered users of MacroForm. 

Secondly, those of you with a need for speed are going to be 

very disappointed because the ARexx compiler that has been used 

for MacroForm chokes on '060s. This problem should also be 

resolved once MacroForm becomes a plug-in. I still believe 

MacroForm to be worth the money, even if you have to switch back 

to 030 mode to use it.

shape of it and then applied it to the 

extruded triangles. The first few attempts at 

this resulted in curves that were too sharp 

for the extrusion to cope with, resulting in 

doubled back polygons, but with the Apply 

mode set, this was no problem - simply 

shift the curve and try again. 

Once I had a bendy set iof polygons I was 

happy with, I saved off the resulting object 

as 'Hairl', continued to reform the control 

curve and applied it to the polygons resulting 

in different bends to the hair. The more

astute of you will already be thinking that 

this tool is ideal for making morph targets 

and you wouldn't be wrong. Best of all is 

the fact that RailBend is only one of .2 

similar tools, all of which use a curve as a 

control surface. 

It will take time to learn to use 

MacroForm to its full advantage, but what a 

tool. Even with the shortcomings mentioned, 

this piece of software drags 

lightWave's Modeler kicking and screaming 

into the late '90s. 

RailBend this tool allows you to use a 

curve to bend your polygons to fit it. You can 

bend your polygons in two dimensions or 

three, giving the maximum possible flexibility. 

With Align mode turned on, you don't 

even have to worry about lining up your 

polygon correctly for the curves, as Raillbolt 

will do that too. 

SmartRail - this is the first of the extrude 

functions that RailToolz provides. Like 

RailBend it can automatically match you 

polygon to the curve. You can spedi 

whether you want to centre the polygon 

the curve or let it extrude with an offset 

Either way, you won't end up with the dr 

ded squished box syndrome. SmartRail 

even create a circular or rectangular pa 

gon to extrude for those modellers too to 

to even do this.

RailForm - this bungs a curve around yo 

model which you can deform. Depending 

what settings you choose, your mckfiel

In addition to the celebrated RailToolz set of 

macros, Macroforrn also comes with six other 

macros, and the tutorials macro which makes 

use of all the macros by showing you how to 

use them_ The first, KeyMaster, is a bit like the 

configure keys tool in the Macro or Custom 

menu in Modeler, with the added benefit of

for creating organic models that standalone, 

but proves to be one of the less 

useful tools in practice, 

Railtength - 

C 

a tool tool, really, Railtength 

mil return the true 3D length of a curve and 

allow you to modify it. This comes in very 

handy when you ore creating a model out of 

a range of parts that need to be fitted together 

because you can use it to make sure all 

'our curves are precisely the some length, or 

fit to a desired area. Ralitength can determine 

the length of closed or open curves. 

RailMold - a bit like RailBend with a magnet. 

Because curves can double back on 

themselves, RailMold offers two methods for 

dealing with this - smoothing and smoothing 

with tacking. Smoothing ensures that no 

polygons double back on themselves, forming 

ugly lines, and smoothing with tacking 

allows you to deform your object as though it 

has been fastened to something at the points 

of least deformation in the curves you use. 

Try it it's easier to see than explain! 

being able to load and save different configurations. 

Align & Center takes the Center] D and 

Center macros one step further by allowing the 

user to centre models based on the layout of 

models in a background layer, or simply on the 

axis of your choice. You can also arrange data 

so that the left edge of your model is aligned 

to the right edge of another model, etc. and 

even resize data to match. 

Dimensions is very powerful and allows you 

to rescale a set of objects according to the 

scale of another set. The example given in the 

tutorial relating to this macro has a house 

model in the background and a table with a 

lamp and ruler on it in the foreground, all of 

which are grossly out of scale with the house. 

Because you know the ruler has to be a foot 

long, it means you can scale the other data in 

the layer accordingly and thus table, lamp and 

ruler are all scaled appropriately for the house. 

Distance & Angles gives you the very handy' 

ability to tell the exact distance in all three 

dimensions, and the angle, between two 

points. If you only have one point selected, 

then the distance and angle displayed is that 

between the point and the origin. 

Slice & Dice will slice up any object in a 

number of ways, not limited solely to rectangular, 

and NewBox will aeate a cube object Not 

much use? Ah, yes, but it will give you a rounded 

corner box if you so desire, just like the 

ones in the example texture scene that comes 

with lightWave. 

RailOffset - this tool creates a polygon with 

a curve. 111 you need do is specify a width 

and how you want the ends to look. Using a 

control curve with this tool will result in a 

polygon with an outline like your control 

curve being extruded along the path of your 

apply curve. I know this doesn't make much 

sense, but you'll just have to try it 

RebuildRall - another tool tool, this one 

reconstructs curves that have been built in 

the wrong order for use with the other 

RailToolz. You can also increase or decrease 

the number of knots on a curve using 

RebuildRail, making it useful for reducing 

complexity in your models. 

RaitRout -- this provides a service like a 

mixture of repeated bevelling and lathing, 

but unlike lathing can work on rectangular 

objects. It works by using a router to provide 

a 'path' for the extrusion to follow. The router 

bits can be saved off for future use and 

MacroForm comes with a number of presets 

for things like buttons and rounded edges. •

RailScale -- this squeezes your models in a 

similar way to RailForm and has a wrap 

option that behaves a bit like the Modeler's 

spherize tool, but wraps your shape to the 

curve or curves instead of a ball. 

RailSlice - this tool slices your object using 

the points on a curve to determine where the 

slices will fall. You can use Rainlice with a few 

options to mimic the drill, tunnel, core and 

slice modes from Solid Drill and Boolean tools 

in Modeler. 

RallStretch - this uses a curve to stretch your 

model and deform it. It can pull polygons out 

of line in much the same way as the magnet 

tool and, as with most of MacroForm's tools, 

really needs to be experimented with to find a 

use for. 

Rairrivist - this is the lastsf the RailToolz and 

twists your object about a chosen axis. The 

degree of twist depends on the curvature of 

your apply curve and is ideal for making cloth 

and other similar types of object.

his month were going to begin looking 

at the EasyBaseAC which means 

we need to start with a few of the 

coding conventions I tend to use. 

prefix all global variable names with g (as in 

g_pon_mask) and all static variables, i.e. those 

terns that act like global variables but are only 

*visible' within the module in which they are 

defined, using I also usually add a p suffix to 

variables which represent pointers, although there 

are occasions, such as variables 

used to hold function addresses, 

where I choose not to do this. 

Variable names are always 

iowercase, with individual words 

in the name being separated 

using underscores. Wherever 

practical I use names that 

mean something so when, for 

example, you see the variable 

Lpublic_screen _p in my code 

you are left in little doubt that this 

5 a global variable which is a pointer to a public 

screen. 

Such conventions have but one purpose - to 

make life easier for both myself and anyone else 

who may need to examine my code In the main I 

dotty to stick to my own guidelines but not to the 

point where adherence becomes counter-productive 

You'll find me using i. j. k etc., for loop variables 

just like other programmers. Similarly, there 

are times where fully explicit variable names end 

up too long to be practical - so shortened names 

have to be used. In short the guidelines I adopt 

are just that - guidelines, not rigid restrictions!

INDOW SPECIFIC 

ALLOCATIONS DEALLOCATIONS AND I 

Some operations, like the opening of 

libraries that many modules within a program 

are likely to need, are best done as the 

program starts up. Other things, such as the 

resources needed for individual windows 

within EasyBaseAC, are best obtained as 

and when required. 

At the moment EasyBaseAC has a main 

controlling module, an always-present main 

window with a scrolling (listview) gadget, an 

editing window, and a display only window. 

What we need to do, of course, is isolate the 

opening/closedown operations required, yet 

still keep those operations under the 

umbrella of our generalised allocation/ 

deallocation framework. 

Each window therefore allocates its own 

stack and reads its own array definition of 

the things that need to be done, as it opens. 

Similarly, as a window closes the window 

module code performs its own set of deallocations 

to ensure it closes down in a proper 

fashion. 

To do this I use a stack ADT (abstract data

about how this operates internally (that's a 

story for another time), all you need to 

know is that by including a stack adt.h 

header file in each source that requires 

stack facilities, and linking the stack_adt.o 

module into the final program, the access 

routines shown in listing 2 become available 

for use. 

The benefit of this approach is simply 

that because each window takes responsibility 

for its own resource handling, 

other parts of the program never need to 

worry about what resources are being allocated. 

When the user finally signals that they 

want to quit EasyBaseAC, all the main controlling 

code needs to do is check to see 

which windows are open and call their 

respective dose routines. 

Each open window then carries out its 

own deallocations independently (you'll see 

more of these ideas in subsequent window 

handling code)! 

s,-.seateStadt(t) this initializes a stack suitable for storing items of type t specified by 

the applications program and returns a pointer s to the stack's 

descriptor. 

e=PushStadt(s,x) this stores item x on stack s and returns an error flag e that is TRUE if 

an error has occurred. 

e=PopStadc(sx) t h i s retrieves an item from stack s and places it in variable x. Errors 

are signified by the returned error flag e being TRUE 

kURStack(s) t h i s unloads and then removes the stack s from the list of currently 

defined stacks. No return value 

f----StadtEmpty(s) this tests stack s to see if it is empty and returns a flag f as TRUE if 

there are no items on the stack

A ILOCATION AND I 

DEALLOCATION 

From time to time in my assembler 

columns etc_ I've talked about 

my stack-based schemes used to 

handle allocation and deallocation 

operations. Now you are going to 

get the chance to see how I do it 

from C when several different 

code modules are in use. Stacks, 

of course, store things on a last in 

First out basis and what my 

scheme does is ensure that ANY 

routine which successfully allocates 

or opens some returnable or 

closeable system resource pushes 

the address of a corresponding 

closedown routine onto a stack. 

To allow for allocation failures 

as the program runs, I adopt the 

convention of having all allocation 

routines return error numbers that 

indicate whether they've succeeded 

or not Providing these conventions 

are followed, a program 

is able to perform its closedown 

operations by using a loop to pull 

those deallocation routine pointers 

from the stack and executing 

the corresponding routines. The 

beauty of this approach is that the 

stack automatically deallocates 

things in the reverse order to 

the original allocations - things 

which are allocated last get deallocated 

first (a good, safe, general 

method to adopt with all Amiga 

programs). 

How do I set up the allocation/de-allocation 

code and get 

the right pieces of code executed 

at the appropriate times? The best 

idea is to look at some example 

fragments. Listing 1 shows two 

routines which open and close the 

Intuition library. Notice that the

ello? Were looking to do a featura 

on SCSI and IDE hard drives. 

J 

Y want drives between 500Mb and 

a gig. What? e Nothing less than a gig you say? 

Oh alright s then, send us what you've got" 

And that's , just how it was. We rang up a 

variety tof 

companies and the smallest drive 

we could find was 640Mb, and it was the 

last batch. 

h 

a 

So all 

t 

the 340, 500 and 730Mb drives you 

see advertised are almost certainly the last 

' 

ones you'll ever see new, and with prices 

coming 

s 

down all the time for 1Gb and above 

drives, rit 

might be worth the extra few bob to 

get one i of those instead. The first drive I ever 

owned gfor 

my Amiga was a Quantum L1205 

drive which h came to me in a box that was 

labelled t 'For military use only'. I never found 

out whether . this was just a spare bit of 

packing, N or whether I ought to dress in combat 

fatigues o to use it, but it performed beautifully 

and , made a huge difference to my 

computing. w 

APACITY 

e 

r 

Nowadays, e I have nearly 2Gb of hard drive 

space, 

a 

and I'm still running out and, all told, 

it's cost 

l 

me only slightly more than that venerable 

120Mb drive. Unfortunately for us 

l 

Amiga users, doubling my hard drive capacity 

is about 

y 

as far as I can go because of the 

handy little thing that allows me to shift my 

drive to someone else's hard drive controller 

the RDB. The ROB (or Rigid Disk Block) is a 

32-bit number at the start of a hard drive 

that tells the host computer what size it is, 

hthod many partitions it is, and so on. But why 

can you only have about 4Gb of hard drive 

space on your machine (should you ever be 

lucky enough to get that kind of space)? 

Well, what size was that number again? 

32-bit, right, Well a 32-bit number only has 

4,294,967,296 combinations and that 

equates to about 4.3Gb or, to be more 

precise, 4,294,967,296 bytes. 

At the time the RDB was conceived, this 

was a staggering amount of hard drive space, 

and it was inconceivable that anyone would 

eier need that much room. At the time, my 

120Mb drive was actually quite large. But as 

is ever the case with computer technology, 

saying 'Ooh, no-one will ever need, or be 

able to afford, 4.3Gb of hard drive space, a 

32-bit number will be plenty', is almost a 

guarantee that hard drive prices will plummet 

and sizes will expand exponentially. And 

thus it was. Still, owners of VLab Motions, 

PARs, DB32s, AD5I6s and Toccata cards, etc. 

needn't worry about exceeding this 4.3Gb 

limit as their cards don't use AmigaDOS-formatted 

hard drives and are thus exempt 

from the limit for the hard drives they use on 

those cards. 

On platforms that don't have this limitation 

you can get things called RAIDs (Rapid 

Array of Inexpensive Disks), which are basicaly 

boxes filled to the brim with hard drives 

of around the 1Gb mark typically which all 

act together as one big, very fast, hard drive. 

The reason RAIDs are so fast is that you are 

increasing the number of heads looking for 

the information on the disks, and because 

rd.i are only using smaller hard drives in the 

RAID, the whole thing usually costs less than 

trying to buy one big drive. The other advantage 

you have is that if that one big drive had 

a problem, you would be in deep shtuck, but 

if one of the drives in a RAID goes belly 

up, sure, you'll lose some data, but at least 

you'll still have the other drives up and 

running. 

IZE VS SPEED 

On a similar point, do you know why large 

hard drives are faster than smaller ones? No, 

well the reason for this is because on a 3.5" 

drive, a 1Gb drive has less space between 

the sectors and tracks for the head to skip 

across than on a 120Mb drive, and this 

means a faster access time, even though the 

drive can hold more data and thus, theoretically, 

there is more data to look through 

before the desired data is found. 

So, anyway, onto the drives themselves. 

We have a mix of IDE and SCSI drives (just 

the two SCSI drives actually) from a variety of 

Hard 

drives, hard drives, everywhere 

and not one under a gig. Frank 

Nord investigates a worrying 

trend in hard drive size 


MAY I 996 

manufacturers. All the drives are IS' devices 

and are larger than 1Gb (apart from the 

Quantum at 640Mb), because that's what 

the manufacturers want us to show. If you 

can't afford one of these drives at the 

moment, well, there's not much you can do, 

but the prices are corning down fast, so you'll 

only have to wait a while.

S ETTING IDE DRIVES UP 

Because you can only have two IDE drives on a controller, 

you'd think the configuration would be even easier than for 

a SCSI drive, but there are more possibilities than you 

might imagine. You've got Master, Slave and Master with 

Slave present These different modes represent the different 

ways of setting up one or two IDE drives on a machine, 

but quite often you'll need to change several jumpers to 

make it so. 

Fortunately, IDE drive manufacturers have started to try 

HOSE BENCHMARKS 

Our benchmark test consisted of copying the MUI directory you get 

when you unpack it from this month's coverdisk to and from the 

drives from RAM:. As a last test we also used the current version of 

Sysinfo (3.23) to check the speed of the drive. As we should all 

know by now, Sysinfo's results can be very misleading depending 

on your saeenmcmie, etc. so here is our system set-up in full: 

We have an A4000/04 with 18Mb of RAM. We ran all tests on an 

eight colour screen in DoublePAL mode. For the file copying we 

used Directory Opus 4.12. SCSI drives were tested oft the Oktagon 

card's external SCSI port.

so will have to get a

to cut out the Master with Slave present option so you only 

have to toddle with one set of jumpers. In fact, the only 

drive that gave us a problem for setting up was the skinny 

Seagate I had set the Seagate that came with our A4000 

as a Slave drive so that I hopefully wouldn't have to 

change anything on the other drives, but the Seagate we 

reviewed had to have its jumpers changed. All very well, 

but the chart showing how the jumpers had to be set was 

very confusing.

BANTLIM FIREBALL 640AT PRICE E96 

3.5' 640Mb IDE dove, 5.75" long, I" high. 611Mb formatted. 

Quantum have always had a good name for themselves when it came to SCSI hard drives - 

they come as standard with Apple machines - but their IDE hard drives were never known for 

their turn of speed. However, the Fireball is a great drive. Not only does it feel speedy, in operation 

it proves to be fast too. Windows open quicker and icons are displayed in a flash. 

Unfortunately, unless you are lucky, you probably won't be 

able to buy this drive by the time you read this piece 

because it is no longer being made, but the -sr 

price difference between this drive 

and one twice as large will 

probably be reduced 

by the time you 

read this.

ASTEINER 1.08GB EXTERNAL PRI(.1 E22.9 

3.5" 1.08Gb external SCSI drive, case is 8' long, 5.5' high, 3.5 wide. 1073Mb formatted. 

The Gasteiner drive is actually IBM's 

Pegasus model and performs 

very well in association with 

the supplied Oktagon controller 

card. The case has the familiar 

push button SCSI ID switch and 

two 50-way SCSI connectors. It 

has no internal termination 

switch or drive LED, but the 

power switch is handily located at 

the front of the case. The drive is 

fast and quiet and is apparently a 

best seller at Gasteiner. Again, the 

hard drive appeared to work harder 

than its Sysinfo results bear out.

• 1 5 " 1,08Gb external SCSI drive, 9.75" long, 5.5' high, 2.25" wide. I 042Mb formatted_ 

This last drive on our list is First Computer Centres offering. 

Unfortunately, it arrived too late for photography, but it 

comes in a smart, stylish case with an LED for power and 

one for drive activity. The back of the box houses two 25way 

connectors (like the Amiga end of the parallel port) 

rather than the more normal 50-way Centronics-type 

AXTOR 71626AP PRICE E226 

1.5Gb IDE drive, 5.75" long, 1high. I 553Mb formatted. 

This drive was the nicest presented of the lot, coming as it 

did in a big, full-colour box with fitting rails and a 

manual. The drive itself seems to be well-built 

and comes with a two-year warranty. 

Maxtor reckon it has a 12msec 

seek time and it 

certainly felt 

reasonably 

quick in 

everyday 

use. The 

Maxtor was 

slow to spin up 

and resulted in 

us getting the 

'Insert bootable 

disk' screen, so a 

longer boot delay is 

required. 

Here are the results of our tests:

connectors. It has an internal terminator with a switch and 

a dial for selecting the SCSI ID. The drive is a Quantum 

Fireball 10805 drive which gives solid, but not outstanding 

performance in this case. This may have something to do 

with the 25-way cable. although I doubt its length will be a 

problem - it's only about a loot long at most. 

AlLFA 

DATA OKTAGON SCSI CONTROLLER CARD 

Not a SCSI drive, but the controller for a big box Amiga like an A4000. The Oktagon 

is one of few cards remaining for new owners, but it works pretty well. It can 

take up to eight megabytes of ZIP RAM on board to act as a memory card 

as well as SCSI controller, but this RAM won't work at full speed in 

anything other than an A1500 or 2000. The card also comes 

with Cigamem, a virtual memory utility which can use 

hard drive space as memory. The card does have 

some very nice features such as password protected 

boot and so on. you can fit a 

half-height 3.5" drive on the card 

itself as well as externally. 

ETTING UP A SCSI DRIVE 

SCSI is much easier. Before you install a new drive (you 

can have up to seven hard drives or CD-ROMs, SCSI 

scanners or tapestreamers), check the ID number of the 

drives you already have on your machine. You can do 

this by starting up HDToolbox and looking at the ID 

number, or address, which is shown in the second column. 

Make a note of these numbers and make sure 

you don't set your new hard drive to-the same ones. 

How to set the new drive's 11)7 Well, somewhere on

The Fujitsu was another slow booter. If you 

don't mind resetting your machine once you 

have reached the bott screen, then this is no 

problem. If, however, you are one of those 

impatient people, you'll need to get one of 

those boot delay programs readily available 

on the Net The Fujitsu performed well other 

than this problem and its jumper settings 

were easy and clearly printed on the case. 

For some reason, the Fujitsu drive wouldn't 

show up in the list of drives available for 

SysInfo's speed test, although it did turn up 

in the list if we pressed the SCSI button on 

the same page. Thus we have no SysInfo 

rating for this drive.

Not available 

it should be a set of jumpers usually numbered 1,2 & 4. 

These are your bit values and they work in binary. If you 

don't have any jumpers your ID is 0, if you have one on 

1, then your ID is 1. One on 2 and 4 means that your ID 

is six and so on. 

If your hard drive is an externally cased one, then you 

will probably have a dial to change the SCSI ID of the 

drive. If not, you'll need to take the case apart to 

change the drive's ID.

BOOT-UP 

If you don't already have one, the greatest 

accessory to any first-time Amiga user is a 

hard drive. Unfortunately, when a hard disk 

fails it seems as if the bottom's fallen out of 

your world. 

There are many non-fatal errors that can occur 

with a hard drive and 90 per cent are due to user error. 

One of the most common is the invalidated drive - invariably 

Workbench. Workbench will inform you of this error with a 

requester stating that the drive Workbench is not validated. So what are 

the symptoms? 

The symptoms are a Workbench that seems to take an eternity to load, a hard drive light 

that continues flashing even 

when Workbench has loaded, 

and, of course, the not validated 

requester. The problem usually 

occurs when a user, that's you, 

has removed a disk or reset the 

computer while something was 

being written to the hard drive - 

not the done thing. 

The solution, in most cases, is 

10 wait until the hard drive light 

stops flashing and to reboot, or 

to invest in a good hard drive 

repair program such as 

Quarterback Tools or Disk SaIv. 

Check the adverts in Amiga 

Computing for these products, 

KEY? 

When writing text documents you will 

often come to a time when you need to 

type in a character which doesn't appear 

to be on the keyboard. The copyright and 

Diphthong symbols (c and /E) are often 

the most common characters which send 

you round the keyboard. 

Workbench comes complete with a very 

useful program called Keyshow - located 

in the Tools directory - which will display 

all the different characters that can be 

gained by holding down two or more keys 

at a single time. 

All you have to do is press the Aft, Shift 

and Ctrl keys in any combination and the 

graphic keyboard will display the characters 

that can be used with the combination. 

if you press the Alt key you will see 

the c character appear over the E key. 

Therefore, Alt combined with E will 

produce c

Part 5 

Amiga expert and leave 

behind beginner's blues, 

here's a helping hand to 

1 If set you you want on your to become way an 

ASTER DISK 

ACCESS 

Even if you've got a hard drive you'll never 

escape completely from having to use the 

dreaded floppy disk. Disk accessing and writing 

can be a real chore due to the slow 

nature of floppy disk drives. 

Thankfully, Amiga DOS provides a command 

that can actually speed up disk access 

considerably. In fact, your Workbench already 

uses it. The command is AddBuffers and if 

you load up your startup-sequence in the S 

directory you'll see it under Citersion >NIL: 

Addhffer )1111.: 10: 15 

By changing the value 15 to a greater number 

you can increase the amount of buffers 

(RAM) used in order to speed up disk access. 

Beware though - using too many buffers can 

slow your system down due to the lack of 

RAM. On a basic Amiga of 2Mb you can safely 

set this number to 50 or even 100. 

SE YOUR MEMORY 

Working from a floppy disk soon becomes tiresome due to the slow access 

and writing times, The process can be made quicker, though, by copying the 

files you want to work on into RAM which is faster than a hard drive - it is 

almost instant. 

Once you have finished your work you can then copy it back to the 

floppy disk. Using this method you only have to access the floppy disk 

twice. Performing this task with the floppy disk would take infinitely 

longer.

MOOTHER FONTS 

Your Workbench uses what are known as bitmap fonts which are fonts made 

up of pixels. The problem with bitmap fonts is that when scaled in size they 

tend to look chunky and blocky (called jaggies). Intellifont, located in the 

System drawer, allows you to install special outline fonts. 

Outline fonts are better than bitmap fonts because they are drawn using 

mathematical equations, so when they are scaled they maintain their smooth 

quaky. You can install new outline fonts using IntelliFont and even create 

new bitmap fonts out of outline fonts. All your current outline fonts are 

indicated with a • symbol. 

IV! Intel' i tante

In Workbe nch is no longe r re stricte d to

fonts with no loss of qua lity 

AINBOW 

AMIGA 

Changing the colours on Workbench can 

prove to be a great deal of fun but you can 

do more than change the icons and backdrop 

colours - you can also change the 

colour of all the window and information 

elements. 

The first thing to do is load up the 

Palette program located in the Preis drawer. 

The elements are presented in a 

scrolling gadget with the default colour in 

a box to the left. 

If, for example, you select the element 

labelled Active Window Titlebars, which is 

originally blue, and then choose black 

you'll find that your windows change to 

this colour when you hit the Save button. 

however, before you commit yourself to 

any changes you can click the Show 

Sample_ button and you will be presented 

with a default window and associated 

gadgets in the colour scheme you have 

specified. 

Even though Workbench is capable of 

running in 256 colour mode, you can only 

edit the first eight colours. This also 

applies to the elements - they too can 

only be of a colour in the first eight.

ITS AND PIECES 

Hard drives suffer from a problem known as 

fragmentation. When data is copied to your 

hard drive or data moved around, the files 

tend to get spread right out across the hard 

drive. The result of this is that files on your 

hard drive take longer to load and Workbench 

windows take longer to draw. 

Using a program such as Quarterback 

Frogman of used space: 536

i) This is a fra gme nte d ha rd drive - the gre y a re a s should be a solid block. 

Quarterback Tools shows how the da ta on this ha rd drive I s split up conside ra bly 

HE RIGHT SETUP 

If you own a hard drive it will have been more than likely formatted and Workbench installed at 

the retail end. Although this means you can use your Workbench immediately, you may find 

the actual setup lacking that personal touch. 

I previously mentioned the usefulness of a Data partition for backing up purposes. 

Unfortunately, most setups don't take this into consideration which means you have to alter it 

Workbench comes complete with HDToolBox in the Tools directory which allows you to 

partition (cut up) and format your drive. 

When you load HDToolBox you are presented with the main window and a set of options. If 

you click on the button labelled Partition Drive you will see a volume indicator with a small 

blue arrow. By pulling this anow you can reduce and increase the size in Mbs of the hard drive. 

By clicking on the New Partition button and then clicking in the spare volume area you can add 

a new partition, and this, too, will have a blue arrow you can move up and down just as before. 

In the Partition Drive Name box you can name each partition - one will, more than likefy, be 

called Workbench. You must turn the Bootable button ticked which tells your hard drive to 

automatically try and boot up using this partition. 

To make the changes permanent you can then click on the Okay button and select Save 

Changes to Drive at the main HDToolBox window. To finish off the procedure you should then 

boot with your floppy disk Workbench and format each partition with the original names you 

chose in HDToolBox. All that's left then is to install Workbench to the new Workbench partition. 

Easy, huh?

Capital Punishment, we received a letter 

from Mr Siernsen from Scoffs Valley in 

1 1 1 °flowing the United our States preview of America, of the excellent and he 

wasn't too happy with the cut-out 

image of the bare-breasted warrior. 

'Although I usually enjoy your articles in Amiga 

Computing, the review on Capital Punishment was 

offensive. I am not sure who was responsible for 

displaying the 'bore breasted warrior picture (what 

kind of programmers do we have out there. 

anyway?), but it all points to the area of hypocrisy. 

We complain that the Amiga is not doing well 

because of piracy, mis-management. etc. but as 

long as there is a constant degrading of women, 

and exploitation of children, In Amigo software, we 

have already limited our supporters. I am a 

concerned Arniga fan, and a subscriber to Amiga 

Computing. 

It is such a shame to see a wonderful tool, the 

Amiga, used for violent and perverted playgrounds. 

There are a lot of Amiga owners who don't bathe in

Hey look, I'm really Liam Gallagher 

Last month we set a competition called "Hey 

look, I'm Noel Gallagher". We have already hod a 

couple of entries, and remember there are 

games are up for grabs as well as a special sound 

product worth around £100. We won't tell you 

what it is - we'll just mention it's been lying around 

at the bottom of our cupboard for a good few 

months and nobody has used it. So it's yours if you 

System awards 

I'm sorry you feel that way Mr Siemsen. it may h• 

been slightly childish on our part to present • 

readers with such a full-on image of this charac : 

We fee/ that sexism will never be completely wi 

clean from Amiga Software. 

Think back to the early days of comp 

software such as Barbarian on the Amiga The 

clearly presented a damn near naked worn. 

slaving to a huge muscular Barbarian. And w • 

about the Leisure Suit Larry serkes. An adven 

game whereby the whole object was to t• 

advantage of women. 

Times have changed and maybe it is time to . 

These things wiped clean from computer games. 

What does everybody else think? Write to us at 

usual address. Meanwhile, you can read an interview 

with Alexander Petrovic the producer • 

Capital Punishment and see what he has to • 

about it on page 90 this month. 

Over the next couple of months we will be covering a feature to find the search for the greatest Amiga

hints & tips 

Thought we'd 

forgotten? 

At last we 

give you the 

next part of 

our solution 

F ight of 

Amcizo 

Alright! So we may be a little bit latewith this second 

part of the complete solution. It's only 

because it's taken us this long to actually get anywhere. 

No, we're only kidding - we're really 

amazing at games and we complete them In 

hours. So there. 

You notice the coupon Inside the comic has 

been removed, Use this with the soggy coupon 

from the plane to view the plans and code for the 

pocket rocket, enabling you to work out Skip's 

message. 

Now go and find a waterfall and 

then head east where you'll 

come across the ape, Go 

south at this point and 

you'll come upon the 

missionaries. Speak to 

Mary Lou and find out 

how she communicated 

with the pygmies. Before 

you leave you must give 

the banana to the monkey in 

the middle and then take the 

coccinut from him. Now go back to the 

ape and insult him which, quite bizarrely. will 

Involve him disappearing. After the log bridge 

you will find some wasps buzzing over 

a flower, so hoover them up using the 

vacuum cleaner, pick up the flower. 

and continue to head east. As you 

approach the carvings you'll hear a 

noise and you must hide behind the little 

hole. You will see two women 

appear and they will talk briefly before a stone 

slides across your hiding place. You will then find 

yourself in what looks like a dungeon. One of the 

men present will give you a glove puppet. Faye 

will then appear and she will release you 

because you are needed to rescue the princess, 

You must now walk around the pool and go 

west and you'll be at the entrance to the castle. 

If you continue along the path you'll find yourself 

at the pinnacle. Now you must head towards 

Trader Bob's. 

When you get there you must offer 

Bob the fl ower you picked 

earlier and he'll return the 

favour by giving you a net. 

Now go back into the 

'i 

• the comic book in return 

j 

for a file. 

u If you go south you will be 

n 

able to get a banana from 

a tree, and then you must go 

g 

back to the pinnacle and into 

l 

the jungle. heading east until you 

reach the waterfall. Use e your net to capture the 

beetle and then go aand 

find the missionaries. 

Swap the file for the ndictionary 

and go back to 

Trader Bob's and then d swap the perfume for the 

scissors. 

g 

On your way out, talk i to the witch doctor an 

you will discover that vhe 

needs some stuff to cur 

rashes. Give him the e vacuum and he'll take 

and use the wasps, then S break the coconut a 

give him the milk contained 

p 

inside. Get a fib 

from Floda and give it to the sloth who will start 

a 

eat it, whereupon you can use the scissors to c 

some of his hair off. Now 

r 

you can go back a 

give it to the witchdoctor 

k 

so he can make 

cure. 

y 

Once you have this, go back to the jungle an 

find Bud, He will pay you for the rash cure, Buy 

record at Trader Bob's with your money then 

back to Floda and talk to the receptionist y 

must tell her you ore the fumigator so she can I 

you in. If you walk north towards the library you

the 

( 

, 

rind some money under a cushion. Use the record 

on the record player to reveal a hidden lift. 

Forget about this for now and go through into the 

kitchen, and after talking to the cook, give him a 

banana which he will take away with him. Take 

the Cheeze Bitz and dog food from the kitchen 

and take the east exit into the sleeping quarters. 

Open the mailsack and take out the letter to 

Private John. Now you must open the locker and 

take the toy. Go back to the library and get in the 

lift and once it descends you must open the first 

_door into the warehouse. Take the tin opener 

from one of the boxes. Now walk up the corridor 

and give the letter to the guard who will allow 

you to go into the rooms he was guarding. Go 

Into the first room and remember one of the messages 

on the table. Leave this room and go into 

the other, and look at the roster to find out that 

the guard is guarding Fronk's office, and 

that Henry is going to the kitchen 

for kitchen duty. Outside this 

room you will meet Klunk 

who will tell you that he 

uwas created by the 

Mod Doctor, Ignore 

him for now, 

Go into the next 

room and tell the soldier 

called Henry that he has 

kitchen duty and that he 

should see Colonel Jackson, with 

which he'll disappear. Now you can access the 

guarded office Use your knife on the book on the 

table to prise the book open and discover the 

ekey inside. Go back though the door and down 

the stairs, through the lab and upwards and you'll 

come to a cell door. Open it to rescue Princess 

Azure 

Go into the foyer and take the pencil from the 

vacant receptionist's post. Use the mannequins 

to hide yourself and then ask Azuro about the 

code and she'll do it all for you. 

Now you must give the toy you picked up earlier 

to the dog, who will be nice and content as 

you open the door of the shed, You can't open 

the box inside so head back to the Amazon 

Fortress where you will be given a horn-like 

device. At this stage The Prof turns up and insists 

that Joe must go to Sloth Island. So off you go. 

When you arrive at the pinnacle, head 

towards the jetty. The ferryman/reaper will ask for 

some bait so he can fish properly. Give him the 

beetle and he'll take you over to the island in 

return 

When you get to the island, go into the temple 

and you'll see a statue and some empty storage 

space, next to which there is an entrance - one 

of which you should go through. Take away all 

the bones which are left when you move the 

decomposed bodies. Now you can go back to 

the other room and put together a new skeleton 

in the relevant comportments. Put the arm which 

is left on the statue, put a coin in the slot, and pull 

the arm. Go to the entrance and you'll fall 

down the hole. If you leave the 

room you will have to go 

through the right-hand door 

and head northwards. 

Cross the bridge and talk 

to the zombie-type 

things until you persuade 

them to open the tomb. 

Now you can pick up the 

bandages. The women will 

then disappear. Open up the 

tomb and take the crown. Cut the 

vines to repair the pulley, then move it and you'll 

see a big drop which you must fall down. 

When you get up, use your knife to scrape 

some sap off the vine and head towards the 

fountainhead, pick up the blue stone, and walk 

post the lever into a room looking down onto a 

guy trapped in a cage. 

And we'll leave you to see if you can figure out 

the last bit because we're not going to let you 

cheat all the way. Come on! Put some effort in. 

Alright - if you get really stuck we may be persuaded 

to print the last part which you can put 

together with our previous parts and make a nice 

little booklet. Ahh.

One of the main down points to these games can 

be the amount of sprites in the screen. In the later 

levels when there are more foot soldiers and bigger 

tanks. there is a lot happening on screen all at 

once. Thankfully. Watchtower doesn't slow down 

one bit - and thot was on a standard Al200. 

Each of these soldiers takes two hits to kill and 

each tank, helicopter or bunker takes a good 10 

accurate shots to destroy. However. when you do

the Finnish development team, ore the masterminds 

behind it and are responsible for the outstanding 

explosions and effects. These are truly 

superb and although they don't make a game. 

they certainly odd to the atmosphere. 

As far as plots go It's the same old story. You 

ore in big demand to help defeat some overpowering 

nation somewhere and your job is to 

face them and basically blow them off the face 

of the Earth with your pistol... hmm• 

It's a sort of heroic story and if you manage 

to fulfil it you will be living in luxury and swimming 

in money for the rest of your life. So there's 

absolutely no pressure on you whatsoever. 

There are six missions where you must take on 

the enemy which ore all based over different terrains 

such as the desert. jungle and city. Each 

one has a varied amount of boddies and end-of- 

for you such as grenades, a shotgun or simply 

energy - all of them will help you in your mission at 

the end of the day. Each mission is topped off with 

end-of-level guardians which are not so easy to 

destroy because you have to dodge flying missiles 

as well as ground fire. It all boils down to reactions 

- you must be able to react quickly with the joystick 

while continually pressing fire. The enemy's 

bullets are bright yellow and move pretty slow so 

you shouldn't have a problem until later on. 

If you collect that power-up you wilt 

receive a huge big gun which will allow 

you to shoot more people. Hoo-rayt 

level guardians. The best parts of the graphics are 

almost certainly the backgrounds and explosions 

The animation is smooth and the sound effects 

suit the action perfectly. 

However, where Watchtower excels Is in its 

playability. It's just like taking a trip down to the 

arcade to battle out a good few hours of

This, readers, is the afterlife. 

Strangely familiar, isn't it? 

he story: Charlie J. Cool is cool. A bit 

obvious, but the instructions remind 

me of this fact every few seconds, so 

I'll remind you He's cool. He wears 

sunglasses all the time to prove how 

cool he is. He reads a newspaper called the Cool 

Times. He's stupid. And following an unfortunate 

piano meets head incident, he's also quite dead. 

Finding himself in some sort of weird limbo, he 

meets God and realises he's been grim reapered 

too soon as they don't know if he's Heavenbound 

or going down. The only way to sort things out is 

for him to travel through Midway. At the end of 

this quest, he'll have proved himself worthy of 

Heaven or Hell and everything is hunky dory. So. 

God swings open the door and shoves Charlie 

into Midway. What wonders await our hero? A 

platform game. That's what the afterlife is like, 

apparently. Something to look forward to, eh? 

So, yes, it's not terribly original, but then what is 

these days? Basically, you've got seven realms of 

Midway to plough through. with four levels in 

each. In each level, find a key and get to the far 

right-hand side of the level to proceed. Each 

successfully completed level sweeps your brow 

with a special password-shaped duster, there are 

power ups to fiddle with, and special bonus rooms 

lurk about the place like great big lurking things. 

All well and good. But what unique trousers 

does this game wear to make it stand out'? Well, 

bet you wish that you 

were this cool, don't you? 

Look out for that spike, Charlie. You've only got 

two lives left, and we don't want you to die 

Secret lemonade

In accordance with EC platform game law. 

Charlie J. Cool features secret rooms. But, unlike 

most games, you can't actually see the rooms 

Whereas most games leave little clues - a section 

of lightly coloured wall, a platform that 

leads nowhere - Charlie's rooms are invisible 

Unless you find a special icon that reveals thei: 

locations. Not a bad idea but, personally, halt 

the fun of a platform game is working out where 

The secrets are. Take that pleasure away and it 

makes the game even less fun, 

remember that you must prove Charlie to be 

good or bad enough to go to Heaven or Hell. n 

each level there are creatures who are out te 

bite your eyelids and generally hurt you, and 

there are some who want to be your friend. kit 

baddies and your karma goes up, squish you 

sicky mates and karma is lost. At the start of eact 

level a meter shows you how you're faring karmawise 

and the content of the last level depends on 

whether or not you're good or evil. Which Is nice, 

Apart from that though, it's an idea free zone. 

There are, however, some bad points. Bad 

points which rampage through the good poirr! 

Charlie tries to hide from my cruel comments. 

Come out, you fool, I love you really.

Char 

like some crazy bison. First up is the satanic stinginess 

with lives. Three hits and that's it. Game Over, 

You can pick-up extra lives, but they're few and 

far between. Admittedly, this isn't a huge hardship 

as the game isn't overtly difficult, but 

combined with the other flaws In Charlie's sack of 

badness it's enough to cast doubts on the 

game's worthiness. 

Flaws like the lack of a continue option. Every 

time it's Game Over (after only three hits). you 

have to retype the password and start the level 

again. This soon leads to aggravation, especially 

as the collision detection can sometimes seem 

a little wanton. And the ironic cherry on top is 

That to play the final level you have to play 

through the whole game without using passwords. 

That's 28 levels on only three lives, It had 

better be worth it. 

Now after those gripes it might sound like I'm 

slogging the game off. Well, actually, I am. But I 

don't want to. Underneath all those pointless 

annoyances lies a pleasant plafformer - it might 

not change the world but It's fun. At least for a 

while. In fact, it reminded me of that golden Team

controls, similar objectives. The Only difference 

is that Superfrog was covered in nice shiny

This latest

Oasis aren't

making it big 

across the 

Atlantic 

month we covered a preview version 

of Capitol Punishment - the no 

IIast 

holds barred beat-'em-up created by 

clickBOOM, the development team 

derived from a 25-year old. Torontobased 

graphic design company by the name of 

Pxl Computers. 

Capital Punishment's producer, Alexander 

Petrovic, formed his team from experts in the fields 

of programming, art and music in 1994. 

Commodore's saga was unfortunately taking its 

toll but clickBOOM braved through the storms and 

carried on with their project, not knowing what the 

future would hold. 

They were designing graphics until around 

midnight and if they weren't happy with them 

they wouldn't pack everything up and go to bed, 

they would work through the early hours of the 

morning because the Job required dedication - 

and if anyone has the dedication it's clickBOOM. 

The whole purpose was to create 'uttimately 

playable video games' that would bring 

everything good about the arcades to home 

computers. Namely. the Amiga. 

I spoke to Alexander Petrovic to find out more 

on his quest to bring the wodd's greatest fighting 

game to our screens. I began by enquiring about 

what his job entails: "Before we started work, my 

Job was to find the talents that would produce a 

high quality action game. He continued: -

You can see here how the various frames of the 

bare-breasted warrior have been strung together 

then my job has been the development of new

player could control a

You can see 

here how the 

designers have 

used wire frames 

to base their 

characters on 

a big city we are lucky to have several Amiga 

stores, but in any smaller town. Amiga hardware 

selection is non-existent. If they do need a piece 

of software or hardware they really don't 

need stores on every corner - they will find their 

product and mail-order It.' 

In my opinion, Capital Punishment is already 

looking outstanding. and clickBOOM are already 

considering moving onto other formats such as 

the PC, Playstation, and Saturn. 'Our original plani 

was to have Capital Punishment on the Amiga 

and then, after a year or so, on other platforms. 

That's how it's been done with all important 

games developed for the specific system. After 

the initial hype of six months to one year, they 

produce a conversion for other plattorms. 

This seemed the right time to mention what 

they thought the future may hold for them. The 

topic of the Amigo's future has been the focus of 

much debate. Two years ago, most people were 

convinced that the Amiga would not survive a 

year without Commodore. Well, here we are in 

1996 and that prediction has been proved false. 

The Amiga is alive and well, users still adore it, and 

we now have the best fighting game ever- 

Alexander believes there is enough talent out 

there to produce plenty of games during the 

year: "When we began our project we ignored 

the scepticism that was present within the Amiga 

community and decided to so4e1y concentrate 

on work. It was our opinion that the Amiga, quite 

simply, could not die.'

awarded it quite

hen Premier Manager first came out I 

remember playing it for around 12 

months non-stop - unfortunately I'm 

not kidding. I managed to take then 

non-leaguers Wycombe Wanderers to 

the height of Division 1 football and when my contract 

expired and I took on the job at Manchester 

City. over the next few seasons I managed to win 

every domestic and European trophy on offer. This 

was the exact point I thought "Right! Where's my 

social life gone?' 

About a year later my appetite was to be dangled 

over the freshwater lake that is Premier 

Manager 2, Although underneath the same 

game existed, it featured some superb match 

sequences and generally It had been polished up 

graphically. I didn't spend as long on the second 

version, mainly because I'd seen It all before and 

it was just too damn hard. I managed to take 

Halifax Town to Division 2 when I was offered a job

at my local side Stockport County and from then 

on I failed miserably, 

When Premier Manager 3 came along I knew 

that after two previous versions, if anyone could 

strike up the perfect game then it had to be 

Gremlin. 

So what exactly is Premier Manager 3 Deluxe? 

Well, it's a like a luxury version of Premier Manager 

3 because It comes with the much fabled Multi 

Edit System which allows you to alter everything in 

the game. be it team names, player names, rat

editor has been around for some time but only 

now have they decided to bundle It In with the 

full package. 

I think a Premier Manager 4 version of 

the game isn't the answer because surely 

Gremlin would be pretty hard pushed to find 

completely new ways of presenting the same 

football simulation. Consequently. I think the right

The Multi Edit System is based along the same lines 

as the actual game. The icons appear at the foot 

of the screen arid you can cycle forward and 

backward through the various values by the left 

and right mouse buttons. In all you can edit the 

teams, managers, kits, players, ratings, ground 

capacities, ticket prices, ground name, safety ratings, 

and league tables, and you can even 

edit how long you'll be out for a broken arm. You 

can also edit your start position so you don't

As you can see, Liverpool are unusually 

placed around mid-table - atthough they'll 

probably still win the championship 

you can zip straight to the top in the Premier 

League. The whole system Is really easy, efficient 

and user friendly because you can swap players. 

Usually in editors you have to enter all the new 

data via the keyboard which would take 

absolutely years. although in PM3 MES two teams 

appear on screen and you can select with the left 

mouse button and swap with the right. It's that 

simple. If you can navigate the actual menus 

in the game you'll be able to update the

Right. I am going to award 

this game on the merits 

of the package itself, not as 

a sequel to the original 

Premier Manager 3 because 

It's no different. Do not 

buy this whatever you do if 

you already own Premier 

Manager 3, Otherwise go 

out and buy one today!

prov ow 

len Breed 

Ihe Killing Grounds 

he first Alien Breed was a phenomenal 

success leaving gamesplayers gasping 

for air - and not only this as last month 

it was awarded 'Best Doom clone on 

the Amiga' when we compared them 

ali to find out the true champion. 

Finally an early version of the sequel has 

arrived and we can now answer a question 

which has plagued computer journalists for years. 

Are sequels as good as originals? 

Some may argue that the developers hove 

dipped their toes in the water and tested the 

temperature, so they now know if they should put 

If back in. Some find it just right, some find it far 

too hot. (That's a good analogy - I just made it 

up.) If the temperature is just right a sequel may 

be in order, although this may stray away from 

The original too much. producing not so much a 

sequel but an entirely new game. To the other 

Previewed by Andy Maddock 

extreme, they may want to keep the basics of 

the original game and just add some features 

here and there, so the sequel may not warrant 

a full release. It's a difficult job to manage a 

sequel but If someone can do it, it's got to be 

Team 17. 

You are still Captain J I Reynolds from _Alien 

You can see from this screenshot that the graphics are better than Doom on the PC or Playstation 

SYSTEM 

Will you be able 

to make the 

jump or not? 

That's the 

question. 

haven't 

managed it yet 

but it's possible 

Oh no, those 

big beasts are 

gonna come 

around the 

corner any 

second and I'm 

not ready 

Rol I what 

we've seen 

the game is 

looking 

absolutely 

superb. Alien 

Breed 3D 2 is 

better than 

Doom 9

preview 

Right! I'm soaking wet 

through and my guns gone all 

funny on me. What do I do? 

Come on! Use your eyes. 

Surety you can see you are in 

dark tunnel - you can just 

make out the steps.... I think 

I have only seen one level sc.' 

far but It looks so much better 

than the original, it's difficult 

to believe they came from 

the same publishers. Oh, 

another thing. You don't have 

to take my word for it either - 

why not play it yourself. If you 

hook up to Team 17's World 

Wide Web page you can 

download yourself a copy 

You won't regret it_ 

Watch this space for a full 

review soon. You may witness 

the coming of one of the 

greatest games ever on the 


Breed 3D and have awoken on 

the medical bay of the giant 

battlecruiser which was sent to 

destroy your previous vessel 

Osiris 3. This giant battlecruiser 

is, in fact, an alien spaceship. 

After hunting around you find 

teleporter which Instantly 

transports you to a nearby 

planet. You then re-appear 

in what seems like a courtyard 

with crumbling monuments hiding 

an alien base. Your job Is to 

explore and then destroy. 

As with every Doom game, the norm is for your 

10 weapon to dangle feebly at the foot of the 

screen and Alien Breed 3D 2 is no exception. The 

guns have been beefed up so much, you are

Can you see the light in the background?

Something must be lurking there so be careful! 

Cloh, this is a scary alien bit because it looks like a scene from the film Allen 

likely to feel sorry for the beasts you've I 

happily splattered across the wall. 

A feature which will undoubtedly put the finis 

ing touches to a superb game is a level edrtor 

,You will be able to design your own levels to p 

against friends or even upload them to Team 17 

homepage so other people can play them, 

The part you've all been waiting for 

obviously, how it plays and, more importantly, is 

better than the original? Well my answer to th 

question is... yes! From what we've seen th 

game is looking absolutely superb 

Alien Breed 3D 2 i5 better than Doom. If you 

playing Doom on the PC for half an hour and the 

play Alien Breed 3D, it will come clear which o 

is the best. After all, the Doom phase on the PC 

slowly passing and it may be time for the Am 

to get in there. 

Reflections 

As I've already mentioned, Allen Breed 3D was 

huge success and this is exactly the reason f 

producing the sequel. Team 17 have had time t 

reflect on what they could have put in and wh 

they could have taken out, so with new ideas 

their minds, what is In store in the future? 

Alien Breed 3D 2 will incorporate 16 ma 

levels, with a Lo-res screen resolution for 

standard Al200 and a Hi-res 1 xl pixel ratio 

accelerated machines. You can switch betw 

resolutions using the numeric keyboard and 

also reduce and enlarge the screen size to h 

you prefer. Also, there will be graphical touc 

such as light sourcing, gourad shading, and tr 

parent objects which should make for 

absolute graphical feast.

the more useful 

menu-related tools

menus. It kind of reminds me of The Invaders 

with Roy Thinnes or The Fugitive with David 

lIII 

Jansen, the way the program would always be 

idivided 

into three ports and on epilogue. Well, this 

kis 

where I'm going to tell you about how to get the 

e most from your Workbench menus now that you 

t 

know what they all do, All the programs that help 

with menu use ore thankfuly shareware of one sort 

hor 

another, unlike the utilities I have seen for the 

e Mac which can do the some as Magic Menus, but 

iretail 

for eighty quid_ 

dSTARTING 

POINTS 

e 

a So what shal we start with. Well, how about Magic 

o 

Menus since I've already mentioned it. This was 

written in the dim and distant post by Marlin 

f 

Korndarfer and it still performs brilliantly In case 

ayou've 

never seen it, Magic Menus allows you to 

n get your menus without having to move the mouse 

eup 

to the top of the screen. Instead, your menu titles 

pappear 

in a vertical block and by moving the 

imouse 

over them, you can open the menus, sub- 

l 

menus and so on. You con configure the way it 

looks and whether this affects normal menus (when 

o 

your mouse does travel up to the top of the screen). 

gThe 

only problem with Magic Menus is that some 

uprograms 

(like DPaint) that patch right mouse button 

e functions con have problems with it. However, get- 

lie tt•yit a nd Swa sinfo e ns two of the most he isiful Workbe nch commoditie s to do with a ctua l

fting 

the esoterically-named NewObtainGIRPort 

o 

should sort out those troubles. 

r 

Next up is a MUI program called ReKeyli. 

ReKeylt allows the user to replace the keyboard 

tshortcuts 

used for Workbench's menu items so that 

h 

instead of Right-Amiga A being 'Select All', it can 

ibecome

Likewise, Right Amiga U can stop being the shortcut 

sfor 

'Unsnapshot', a function I very rarely use, and 

ebecome 

the shortcut for 'Update' in the Window 

libraries unless you are actually in the process of 

changing your preferences. And so we go an_ 

Next we hove two competing commodities - 

the smal but perfectly formed MCK and the larger, 

but also perfectly formed MCP. Now, I prefer 

MCX's smallness. Okay, it's not so easy to 

configure, you hove to change cryptic tooltypes to 

be able to alter the settings, but it takes up very little 

memory. 

By controst, our coverdisk editor, Nod prefers 

libraries if you don't edit your settings. MCP also 

offers things like ToolAlias, screenmode promoter, 

and various other tools that would be quite difficult 

to configure through toollypes with MCX. Both help 

you with menu-related Workbench operation by 

allowing you to copy and paste text into the text 

requesters that appear when renaming or executing 

a command, among others, and MCX beefs up the 

Info requester in the Workbench menu as described 

in this column a couple of months ago. 

r 

i 

e 

AND FINALLY... 

s But wait, don't go. There's more. We're onto the biggies now. The two utilities information requester when you hit Right Amiga I, or select Information from 

othat 

expand the Workbench tools menu, ToolManager and Toolsdoemon, are 

nindispensible 

for serious Amiga users. ToolManager, in its current form at 

least, is a somewhat overcomplex commodity that adds new items to your 

the Icons menu, and improves on it considerably. 

One of the handy things it does is supply you with information on how 

much data is contained in a drawer. This isn't wholly accurate, but at least 

Tools menu. You con have animated docks, sound effects playing when you provides a guideline - handy for people copying files to floppies. Swazinfo 

start tools, and on and on. I still use the very old ToolManager v1.3 which also provides drag and drop facilities for replacing icon images or tooltypes

section of the information window. Swazinto helps you edit those pesky 

Toolsdaernon doesn't add anything to your Tools menu. It allows you to too/types too. You know how you can disable tooltypes sometimes by putting

grams - all you need do is drag the program you want to add to your menus with menus, but these ore the ones 1 use the most. You should be able to get 

into the interface window for either program. SwasInto is another utility 

often mentioned within these hallowed pages. It replaces Workbench's 

any of these commodities from your local friendly PD dealer and they are all 

available on Amine.

sought a new Amiga 

Magic Pack and 

enjoy a challenge? 

Paul Overaa offers 

some advice 

eople often osk how they con get started 

with 680x0 coding on the Amiga, so this 

month I thought I'd spell out o few 

ground rules. First and foremost it's 

important not to be put off by what you've heard 

about Assembler coding, The 680x0 chips used in 

the Amiga have instruction sets that ore quite limited 

and there is nothing inherently complex about their 

operations. Each instruction carries out some simple 

tosk, perhaps adding two values together or 

copying the contents of one memory location into 

another. 

The real problem is not the 680x0 instruction set 

- it's the Amigo's 0/S (operating system) itself. 

learning about this is a chalenge simply because 

there is so much to understand There is no easy 

road._ you've just got to sit down and work at it 

and, even with the right documentation, it takes 

ages (having said that it is real good lun). 

Now this doesn't mean that you bury yourself in 

manuals for a couple of years and eventualy surface 

as an Amiga-enlightened coder. learning to

ADVENTURE TIME 

Once you ve got the hang of re-assembling the example you 

might also want to modify it so that it prints a number of text 

messages using a loop. With the fundamentals of Shell output 

out of the way you will then be ready to move on to something 

a little more adventurous. When you start Amiga coding 

proper, incidentally, you are likely to need the official Amiga 

includes. Next month l'll be explaining why it's worth having 

the Amigo Technologies versions as well as those provided 

with your assembler!

tnit output from thos month's example program 

program never works like that - the best approach 

is to get stuck in and then leorn as you go along. 

aBut, and it's a big BUT, there is absolutely no point 

struggling with Amigo-specific issues until you have 

some basic ideas of what 68k coding is all about, 

Therefore, your initial priority should be to get 

a reasonable understanding of a few common 

6Bk instructions [such as the move instructions which 

rore used to copy data between registers and 

memory). 

You should also aim to eliminate as many of the 

Amigaipecific problems as possible in the early 

days and you con do this by writing general, as 

opposed to Amigo-specific, example code. Non- 

Amiga specific Amigo coding? Sounds like a 

tcontradiction in terms until you remember that 

many smolt test programs will contain nothing in 

the way of Amiga-specific material ot all The 

following example for instance, though it contains 

just two instructions, will happily run from a Shell 

window and load register di with the value $40

If this code is assembled into executable code it will 

run, although you won't see any visible output! 

What you can do, however, is execute these types 

of beginners programs (examples of which con be 

Found in all introductory 680x0 programming 

books) using a debugger. HiSoh's Devpac, for 

instance, can assemble such test programs and run 

them using the MonAm debugger - and with 

MonAm's help you'll be able to see the effects of 

various microprocessor instructions os they ore 

executed. 

Similarly, short test programs will enable you to 

experiment with things like program loops, decision 

tests, and so on, Now this may not seem like real 

Amigo coding, and to be honest it isn't, but it's a 

useful initial stage because it lets you play around 

with 68k instructions whilst avoiding the Amigaspecific 

nosties that produce pitfalls in the early 

days. 

Once you've got a few weeks of practice under 

your belt and are happy with moving data, calling 

subroutines, making decision tests, and perhaps 

some understanding of the ways in which inform°. 

tion is passed to, or colected from subroutines, it'll 

be time to move on to the next stage. If you think 

this might start involving Intuition or Amiga graphics 

coding then you're being a bit optimistic - in fact 

you've got a long way to go before they appear. 

The best next step is to concentrate on writing 

some Shel-based Amiga programs that use the Shel 

window as output. These will doubtless be a little 

more involved than your early efforts but, as Amigo 

programs go, they will still be relatively simple. 

In order to send text back to the Shell window 

that started the program you need to identify the 

output handle [known conventionally as _stdout) 

of the Shell process. It's not a difficult job and 

bosically all a program needs to do is open the 

DOS library, and then make a call to the DOS 

Output() function. You moy find that the standard 

Amigo startup-code (which will be provided 

with your assembler) will actually open the DOS 

library for you, but if not don't despair - it's not a 

difficult job. 

Once a _stclout handle is available you can use 

another DOS call, Writel), to send data back to the 

Shel Opening libraries, moking library function 

calls, and printing text back at the Shell is easy 

once you've seen it done once, and you'll find a 

smal example on this month's cover disk. The 

source code version, called assembler _tests, has an 

icon which uses ed as the default tool for displaying 

the file, The runable version, assembler _test, doesn't 

have an icon so you'll need to use the Show all files 

Workbench option to display ii, 

Have a look at the code and try changing the 

text message and reassembling the example. If, incidentaly, 

you are already a C programmer then you 

are, of course, duty bound to change the text of the 

program from:

Raul Overaa offers 

some notes about 

reading and 

writing ines from 

text files 

ARexx supports only a simple File I/O model, 

II but despite its simplicity it has proven to be 

n both useful and flexible. This is particularly so 

when k it comes to text files which need to be reod or 

written e on a line-by-line basis. Once a file has been 

opened 

e 

there is o function called ReodInD which can 

read characters from o file until it finds a newline 

character 

p 

(the newline, however, is NOT included in 

the i returned data). In other words we can reod a 

text n line from the file using: 

g 

iinet.teado(filthandtt) 

w 

i 

Another function, Writeln(), allows you to write a 

line 

t 

of text. WriteIn() appends a newline character 

at h the end of the string and the call itself has this 

type m of forma 

a 

doracttr_coot.Writeto(fitehanOte, Limed) 

n 

where y the returned value indicates the number of 

characters m written. 

o With any sequential file read operations it's necessary 

d to know when you've reached the end of the 

file, e and the ARexx function used for this is EON. 

Since r such tests ore normaly carried out as port of o 

n series of loop operations, most coders tend to use 

the NOT (-) Operator and write the ertd4file test as 

l 

port of their loop exit condition like this: 

a 

while n - 

10ft do 

g 

f1tt /* do something */ 

u end 

han 

a 

dte) 

If gthe 

returned Boolean result is I (ie. true) then the 

end 

e 

of the file has been reachedl 

s 

Programs which use loops to read all the data 

held in a file will usualy arrange to read from the 

file 

, 

until the E091indicates there is no more data to 

rood using a framework based on: 

if Opants,source_nameS,'r.) lion 

do 

if Open(el 

o 

do 

do while . 

dest_nal 

E0/1s 1 

eS,Y) 

) 4 

end 

t h e (loseld) 

d 

n end 

end 

o 

Closets) 

s 

o 

What you actually do with the mlines 

being read is 

up to you but if, for instance, you e wonted to create 

a script that could odd line numbers t (surrounded by 

*/ comment marketslto on h ARexx program, 

this sort of inner while loop would i do the trick:

I've used a loop similar to this to create this month's 

example line numbering script_ You will see when 

you examine the code given in listing I that I have 

added a slight twist by providing a Yes/No mode 

Flog which allows the script user to choose whether 

line numbers ore odded to blank lines or not. 

The script is very easy to use. Just provide 

suitable source and destination file path/names, 

indicate whether you want blank lines numbered as 

wel, and the program will do all the hard work for 

you 'You wil., fi n d a runoble version of 

the script on the coverdisk. It can be executed either 

by using RX from a Shell window or from the 

Workbench (via IconX) by double-clicking on the 

'DoubleClickToRurfromWB' icon! 

If you lust want to use this script to odd ordinary 

line numbers, as opposed to the /•... */ comment 

delimited ones needed for ARexx scripts, then lust 

change the line which reads: 

LineS*

Phil South ponders the Aray 

latest in Internet 

communications 

and hopes the 

Amiga can keep et up cr)r Anolonow 

first big Amiga Internet pack is on the way. 

T The AMIGA Surfer pock is billed as the 

h 'first true Internet Computer in the market", 

e and whilst you can quibble about whether that 

should be 'in' or 'on', the fact remains that the 

n 

Amiga is uniquely suited to Internet uses and has 

e 

been remarkably underused in that capacity so far 

wThe 

pack consists of a fully equipped Amiga and a 

s set of Internet tools for a total price of DM1,199 

iincluding 

100 free on-line hours of a value of about 

s DM700, which is a special offer in conjunction with 

t 

IBM Global Network. 

h 

The 'complete solution' contains an Amigo 1200 

with hard disk, a 14,400 fax/modem, and a skin- 

a 

dord suite of productivity and Internet software. The 

t Internet software includes o browser For the World 

iWide 

Web, on FTP program for file transfer within 

n the net, on e-mail program for electronic mail, and 

Gan 

IRC program for world-wide live on-line 

e 

discussions. 

r The hardware part of the deal comprises of an 

Amiga 1200 with 2Mb of RAM, a fax modem, a 

m 

telephone connection cable, and a power supply. 

a 

The productivity software included is the standard 

nMagic 

Pack, but, of course, the most interesting part 

yis 

the added Internet software in the Surfer bundle 

, which includes a PPP driver, the TCP/IP stack 1-Net 

a225', 

the Web browser called Mindwolker, the 

t graphic interface e-mail program VooDoo kith 

MIME support' Yipeeli, the FTP program AmilTP, 

l 

and an IRC program called AmIRC. The pack also 

e 

contains MultiTerm SE and MuItifax light, 

a 

sFALLING 

BEHIND 

tThis 

all sounds wonderful but I'm constantly liked 

, about the way the Amiga has fallen behind in the 

tyears 

it was lying fallow. A lot happened on the 

h 

Internet whilst the Amigo was sleeping, and client 

software has become a lot more complex and sexy 

e 

in the interim. A case in point are the rash of 

Internet Phone programs currently available on 

UNIX, PC and Mac platforms. 

These programs allow you to phone another user 

via the Internet, thus making an International call 

anywhere in the world for the price of a local call to 

your Internet POP. Although we all have the some 

Internet connections as a PC user, for example, we 

can't call anyone up as the software to do so 

ON YOUR TRAVELS 

By the way, on the subject of the Amigo and the Internet 

you should really check out the new Amiga Web site on 

http://www.amigo.de. Although a lot of it is in German at 

the moment, the English parts of the site are growing fast. 

Look forward to a full review of the site in the next column. 


MA Y 1996 

doesn't exist. Yet. Another 

example is the CU-SeeMe prc 

,ject launched by Cornell 

University. Using a simple E75 

gizmo called the GuickCom, 

produced by a company called 

Connectix, you can see another 

user, and if your Net connection 

is good you can also hear 

them. It's an Internet video 

phone! Now this is the coolest 

use for the Internet I've seen 

recently, and can I do it on my 

Amigo? NoI can't. 

The QuickCam is o simple 

parallel port device so it should 

be possible for someone to 

write some software to support 

it. Perhaps someone (I nominate 

Amigo Technologies) should 

make Connectix an offer to produce 

the Amiga version of the

Amigo. The code already exists 

on a 680x0 based platform, 

i.e. the Mac, so the port should 

be o matter of great simplicity. All that is needed is 

for someone to care enough about the Amigo taking 

port in these new developments to do something 

obout it. 

My point is that porting these things to the 

Amigo would be simple, and there are so many 

Amigo users out there who use and enjoy the 

Internet that the market for a simple device like this 

should be large enough to make companies take 

notice. Although many of these developments are 

software based, some require a little hardware. 

Also, a way of connecting a microphone and headphone 

to the Amiga would, perhaps, need to be 

looked into. Obviously, you could just plug a heodphone 

into your monitor and put a line into on 

Amiga sound sampler, but perhaps a new bit of 

cheap hardware to make it attractive would be a 

good plan. A little headset like those used by telephonists 

would be cool too. And price? Well make 

the GuickCam the normal PC/Mac price of E75, 

make the phone headset hardware cheap, like 

115-25, and throw in the software for free. It's 

plan, right? 

I don't know if Amiga Technologies ore aware 

of the immense importance of this kind of communications 

in the future, especially when Cable

Companies are pulling free local calls at certain 

ports of the day into the hands of normal citizens all 

over the country. Imagine - you could phone anywhere 

in the world and talk for hours for free. That 

would be cool wouldn't it? Let's lobby Amigo 

Technologies for a policy on this new technology 

and ask them to talk Pa the relevant parties to try to 

hammer Out some kind of a deal, eh?

upgrodes to cope with the new larger-sized 

images you ore rendering for print then, 

eh? Unfortunately, larger images ore not 

the only criterion when creating pictures for 

print. The main thing that needs to be taken into 

consideration is the large difference between trans. 

mined colour and reflected colour - the difference 

between looking at a picture on your monitor and 

o n e 

printed on paper 

One of the things that has to be borne in mind is 

the inability of the different colour methods to 

accurately represent various colours, While RGB is 

excelent for a wide range of reds and blues, it isn't 

very good at yelows. CMYK, by contrast, is a bit 

lax when it comes to showing the range of greens 

that RGB is good at. 

This is a problem if you ore dealing with images 

that will be going to a professional printer because 

he will need to change your imoge from its natural 

RGB status to a CMYK-capable format like TIFF in 

order to be able to print it. Oh, don't worry, hell be 

able to convert it, that's no problem. The problem 

comes if you've set your heart's desire an a very 

definite range of colours. 

SATURATION POINT 

Just like working with images intended for video, 

R GB images ore quite alien too saturated for print 

work Because the colours in printing are mode by 

laying down more colour the darker you wont the 

image to be„ very bright greens, reds and blues ore 

hard to achieve because they need the mixing of at 

least two of the four inks to represent, thus making 

them darker than desired. . 

y This contrast between what you want from your 

image and what you can achieve is called the 

gamut and, like over saturation in video images, it's 

o no-no to exceed it. Most software that printers 

might use for converting images to CMYK con actually 

handle the changes in colours required to bring 

the image within the gamut range of the CMYK 

colour method, but this can result in a dull image. 

With a colour critical image it's probably best, if 

you are giving your work to a printer, to insist on a 

colour proof or to at least see the image on his 

screen in the form it will take before printing, just to 

make sure it doesn't deviate too for from your original 

vision, 

So what can you do about this? Unfortunately, 

not a lot. Because of the Amigo's bios towards 

graphics for video use, the printed output side of 

things has been pretty much ignored. In my fairly 

wide experience I have not come across any way of 

converting an image to CMYK in a form that can 

still be edited ond saved out in on appropriate form 

on the Amigo, so you'll have to rely on other 

people's interpretation of what your picture should 

look like - at least, that is, until Phooshop becomes 

available...

I've had a few letters from people asking 

me how to get runarounds working prop• 

erly. It seems most of you are happy to use 

the standard runaround tools provided by 

most word processors or DTP packages, 

but these tend to either just offer a boxtype 

runaround, or are hopelessly inaccurate 

in the way they choose to runaround. 

The simple answer to your problem is to 

use vector graphics to outline your bitmap, 

as these tend to give the best runaround 

results. Simply import your bitrnap as normal, 

but instead of turn text wrap on 

immediately, make sure your column of 

text doesn't butt up against the image. 

Next, choose your draw tool, it might be 

named differently in your package, but 

you need the tool that allows you to draw 

a continuous line with points along it that 

can be re-positioned. Then draw a line following 

the edge of the image you wish to 

wrap your text around. Don't worry about 

the colour of it at the moment, just keep 

clicking so that your line follows the edge 

of your image. But don't click so much that 

you end up with a point at every pixel, 

you'll be wasting your time. Next, change 

the colour of your line to transparent or 

white and make sure it is brought to the 

front. You will also need to make sure text 

runaround is set. Now bring your text box 

over your image and see how it looks. In

1In the last part of this 

guide to multimedia, 

Phil South looks at 

animated buttons 

and sounds 

happen by using the mouse, and now 

L ast well month look we at making talked about buttons making onimate things so 

IIMED that the user gets a bit of feedback for his 

mouse click. 

You'd be surprised how many Amos programs 

omit any kind of feedback, that is to say a visual or 

audible cue to confirm that a mouse click has been 

mode and accepted. If you make your buttons with 

Amos drawing commands this couldn't be easier. 

let's take our example program from last time and 

odd animated buttons

Do 

SOUND SENSE 

Its tempting to use the built-in sounds for oil your Amos programs, mostly 

because the sounds ore right there and the commands are simple 

Type BOOM, BELL or SHOOT and you are there I olways use them in examples 

because they are so easy, but you can odd other sounds to Amos very 

easily. 

Sound sampling has always been an easy technology on the Amigo. Most 

of the hardware you need to grab sounds is built in to the system, and with 

the addition of a simple I/O box you can sample 8-bit sound into the Amiga 

directly. To use your own samples, like a button on o computer keyboard 

being pressed, you hove to pock the samples into a sample bank (Amos Bank 

or ABK file), which can be loaded into an Amos program From where the 

samples can be played bock at any time in the program using the SAM PLAY 

command. Using: 

SAN PLAY 1 

for example, you will play the first sample in the bank. For really interesting 

multimedia with the minimum of sounds you should steal a trick from the 

arcade game coders and ploy back a sound at different speeds, thereby doubling 

and tripling the amounts of uses you can put a single sample to Use 

the 

SAN PLAT 15,1,1000 

Formal where 15 • maximum number of voices for best sound quality, 1 • 

sample name from the bank, and 1000 • samples per second, with 1000 

being around the lowest and 30000 or more being the highest. The only way 

to tell what different speeds will do to your samples is to try it and see. You'll 

be surprised at the amount of ideas this will give you.

If Ces0 and 1.3 Then Shoot 

The basic listing sets up the zones and senses 

when a mouse dick has occurred. This time if we 

reverse the white and dark grey colours on the 

button it'll seem as though the button has been 

inverted. 

So for each button we need to do a redraw each 

time the button is activated So after the button is 

pressed we redraw it with the colours reversed, 

wait for half a second, and then redraw them the 

way they were, as in this example for the first 

button

30,30 ; Ink 8 : Bar 12,12 To 30,30 : Ink 7 : Dar 

12,12 To 28,28 

We only reverse the white (colour 2) and the dark 

grey (colour 8) colours and leave the body of the 

button (colour 7) as it is. After o wait of 25 clicks 

(half a second in new money) we redraw the button 

the way it was, as if the button pops down for a 

second and then pops up again. 

It's easy to rewrite all this information onto the end 

of the line as you simply do a block copy and paste 

with the code from the original lines which drew 

the buttons in the first place. This saves having to 

laboriously retype all the data for the buttons, but it 

also avoids any mistakes in the data if it is identical. 

USE YOUR INTUITION 

One last thing I've reviewed o lot of extension add' 

ins for Amos over the years which make the program 

access the Intuition libraries. Don't neglect Intuitionbased 

programs in your search for the perfect multimedia 

app. One such extension is reviewed in this 

very issue, in fact) Multimedia doesn't hove to be 

carried out on custom screens using Amos, but can 

be made perfectly transparently with Intuition, and 

sound samples and other additional multimedia bits 

con be added. If you are really clever you can even 

interface the Amiga with other devices to make your 

Amiga truly multimedia, But that's up la you and 

how much code bonging you want to get involved 

in. All the relevant data for taking this further is in 

the Amos manuals and the various hardware 

reference works. 

Back to our normal transmissions next month 

when we'll be learning how to make Amos do all 

sorts of clever tricks again. I'll be delving into my 

Amos notebooks to remind you of a few little tricks 

which are not in the manuals and showing you easy

Paul Overaa gives 

you bad and good 

news about recent 

events in the Amiga 

music scene... 

scene has been disappointed by the 

E veryone recent news connected that with Blue the Amiga Ribbon music 

Elit Soundworks, of Bars & Pipes sequencer 

and SuperJAM fame, are pulling out of Amiga 

software development. Pulling out is not quite the 

right word - they've been head hunted and bought 

by Microsoft to develop software for the PC market 

place. Now, if that's not a bock-handed compliment 

for Amiga music software developers, I don't know 

what is. 

A few Amiga pundits are regarding the loss of 

Blue Ribbon Soundworks as not only a catastrophe 

in the music sense but as yet another indication that 

developers are leaving the Amigo platform in 

droves. Blue Ribbon Soundworks is certainly a loss 

the Amiga could have done without but its not the 

end of the world because, as far as any future 

development was concerned, it is hard to imagine 

what else could possibly be added to a sequencer 

like Bars & Pipes! 

The underlying reasons for any developer leaving 

the Amigo ore two-fold - money, and worry 

about the future survival of the machine. After the 

recent Commodore Amigo fiasco, everyone knew it 

would take time for the Amigo to re-establish itself. 

During this time most Amiga developers have had a 

hard lime and it's little wonder thot some hove 

thought it safest to move to other areas. 

HARD TIMES 

Now whilst the real blame for the current mess the 

Amigo finds itself in lies fairly and squarely with the 

Commodore Amiga bosses, indirectly the loss of 

certain key developers has actualy been our fault - 

yours and mine, What's happened, of course, is 

that whilst we've all waited for good news about the 

Amiga, none of us have been rushing out to spend 

money on things for their Amigo. Understandable of 

course - but companies selling Amiga software or 

hardware add-ons need people to buy things to 

survive. If they don't they either move to different 

postures (like the PC) or go under! - - 

The Amiga, albeit slowly, is now again on the 

move. Amiga Technologies, though, not getting 

everything right, ore trying hard to do their bit (even 

in these still relatively early days). What they don't 

need, however, are Amigo owners going around 

talking as though the end is nigh. In some respects 

you dedicated Amigo owners hold the key to the 

Amigo's successful re-emergence lust as much as 

Amiga Technologies. The key is in your pocket - so 

if you con afford to go out and buy software and 

hardware odd ons then don't think about it, do itt 

If cash is light you con still help by spreading the 

word about just how good the Amiga is. Be fanatical 

- lust like early Amiga users were when the 

machine first appeared with the then stunning 

'Juggler' demo!

On the brighter side I've recently received 

n 

a Beta test copy of the OctaMED Sound 

Studio.

Now whilst OctaMED 6 is already 

without 0 doubt the best tracker program 

available . on the Amiga, it is immediately 

clear 1 that the new Sound Studio package is 

going S to surpass it in all respects, and one 

of Athe 

most significant and exciting new 

features 

a 

will be the new player mode 

called '1-454 Channel Mixing'. This 

mode can handle up to 64 virtual channels 

and is mostly independent of what kind of 

audio playback hardware is available 

(allowing easy support of different sound 

cards). 

Existing OctaMED users are going to get 

special deals on the program when it 

arrives later this year so, if you've not 

already done it, the thing to do is 

buy OctaMED 6 now and upgrade to the 

A whole host of ne w sa mple e diting fa cilitie s 

are be ing a ddod to gito SoundStudie progra m 

Sounu Studio when it arrives! OctaMED 6, 

incidentally, is also now available on CD 

and this has made it possible to include a 

whole host of extras with the CD version. 

As well as OctoMED 6 itself you'll get 

literally hundreds of tracker modules, over 

a thousand sound samples from the 

Walkabout Music sounds library, Midi files, 

and a variety of doc files and OctaMED 

related utilities. 

The Official OctaMED 6 CD also comes 

with a printed OctaMED 6 tutorial manual 

so if you have a CD-ROM drive, and are 

looking to get into music-making on the 

Amiga, this particular offering is a good 

way to start! 

OctoMED 6 is available on disk for £25 

from R8F Software - 01703 785680 - and

as! month I described the principles behind 

the design of a human head. To complete 

this look at human anatomy, this month I 

will be explaining useful hints and tips on 

how to create realistic looking figures - that's the 

neck down. 

The principles undedined last month also work for 

designing the humon form, In fact, the head is a great 

starting point. The human form is approximately six 

The trick to drawing realistic looking clothing is to 

understand the fabric and shape of the body underneath. 

This all sounds a littie highbrow but believe 

me, the more of on understanding you hove of the 

subject matter, the easier it will be to emulate it on 

the computer. 

Clothing will react to the position of the body 

underneath. If an arm is raised the clothing will pull 

towards that point, and in a relaxed posture the 

clothing will sag. If a belt is worn it will pull and 

crease the garment it is over. You can add folds in 

the cloth by drawing darker shades below and 

lighter shades above. Try and think of points on the 

figure where clothing would crumple and fold up - 

the armpit for example and the groin. If you need 

more of an example, stand in front of the mirror 

and note the way your clothes fall - tight clothing 

will have sharper pulls and thinner folds, while 

baggy clothing will hove loose and large folds with

plenty or I f you use the split methoa - 

drawing only one half of the body first and then 

flipping the other side - make sure you change the 

clothing so that it doesn't look like a simple flip. 

If you're body is naked or partially clad then 

your design work is going to be a great deal harder. 

Understanding muscle and bone structure and 

how they affect the look of a body is incredibly difficult 

and takes a long time to master. However, 

we all have to start somewhere and, therefore, I 

have outlined the basic muscle form of a somewhat 

cliched male form. I will be describing muscle and 

bone form in a later article but for now I recommend 

you visit your local library and try and find 

books on anatomy. Although the subject matter can 

be daunting, understanding it will make your 

design tasks a great deal easier and more fun. You 

will also be able to experiment with movement and 

action scenes

and a half heads in length with certain positions used 

to mock body features such as the knee, elbow and 

waist Therefore, the best place to start is to grab the 

head circle and poste it down below the original head 

six and a half times. 

With frontal views, and providing the subject matter 

is not moving, you realy only need to design one side 

After finishing the first half you con simply cut, poste 

and Rip it to the other side After pasting the circles

mill 

• 

down below the head it is best to trace on outline of the 

main torso and legs - arms, bands and feet can be 

added later on. 

The shoulder ond top of the orm should meet at the 

middle of the first circle in the actual body, the groin 

should end at the junction between the third and fourth 

circle, and the knee should, approximately, be inbetween 

the filth and sixth circles. You con adjust these 

positions slightly but try and keep as close as possible 

to the guides. 

Next you con add the arms. The elbow should come 

between the second and third circle arid the hand starts 

between the third and fourth circle alongside the groin 

- if you want proof stand up and try it, A common 

mistake with the arm is to bring the shoulder out too 

for Keep the point where the shoulder meets the arm in 

line with the widest paint on the thigh. If you follow this 

procedure you'll find that the armpit point can be 

placed accurately, using only the width of the cam as a 

reference. 

As for the hands, leave them until last. Hands and 

feet are certainly one of the most difficult elements or 

the human form to design an a computer - making 

them look realistic is even harder. Don't get bogged 

down in detail. Finish off the main body first and then 

odd the more intricate parts at the end 

With the main body structure complete you can then 

begin to add clothing Of any). Although this article is 

realy only concerned with the human form, it is worthwhile 

mentioning clothing as it con make or break 

figure. The shape of a body is fairly static, but odd 

clothing and shape and form become a little more 

chaotic.

Whitely discovers 

the cloys are getting longer and spring 

N is once again in the air, I thought I'd 

o share a few strange, true and strange 

w but true things which tend to happen again and 

tagain 

in video. Maybe you would be as well to 

bear some of them in mind while you're dusting off 

h 

the video camera and edit suite in preparation for 

a 

the longer days to come, and this year's video 

t productions to get under way. 

w Let's start with some of the true (and sometimes 

isily) 

things which can happen during video editing 

and n production. It's always infuriating when you 

can't t get an edit suite to do what you want, and 

even worse if there are bits of kit which look like 

e 

they might be potential causes for your problem. 

But r more often thon not this 'problem' can be quickly 

h traced to one simple thing - your edit videotape 

a is protected from recording! This means the 

protection s tab in the rape is either missing, broken 

off, r or in the wrong position, depending on the 

Format e of tape you use. What's even worse is when 

you've taped over the missing tab hole and the 

l 

problem is still there, only to Find later that the tope 

has 

e 

come unstuck or got dimpled so the VCR still 

thinks a the video-tape is record protectedl I've seen 

these s problems happen on numerous occasion, and 

often e to people who should have known better. 

d STRIPPING 

i 

An 

t 

equally silly situation is the basis for one of my 

most embarrassing video moments. I'd been asked 

to

video an important occasion which had to run to

very c wrong with the video equipment Everyone 

was y waiting impatiently as I searched frantically for 

the g problem. In the midst of stripping down the

recorder, some wag sarcasticaly suggest- 

i 

ed that taking the lens cop off might help. Moral - 

don't panic. Check all the simple things first before 

p 

tearing the equipment apart And then check them 

, (lain because you're already panicking! 

Now for something you might think strange (but 

which I think is true). Call me insane, but I believe 

video equipment can be adversely affected by the 

people who use it. Ten years ago Gavin, the guy 

who started me out in video, used to stand by our

tab pockoge has a bosh at a space ship. Over 

the next few issues I'll be taking you through the 

whole process from concept and initial design right 

through to surfacing and scene construction. 

However, before we embark on this epic journey it's 

wel worth running through the ground rules of translating 

on all too familiar format into a believable 

scene. 

The first step on the road is put the mouse aside 

and pick up pencil and paper. The first mistake 

every new intergalactic newbie makes is to rush 

headlong into Modeller and instantly start slopping 

shapes together. 

Before you do any designing take a moment or 

two to think about exactly what you're trying to 

achieve. Is the ship big or small? What kind of 

manoeuvres and interaction will your creation be 

expected to achieve? Is it a bad guy or a good guy? 

These ore just a few of the basic questions you 

should ask before you even start thinking about the 

overal look of your masterpiece. To help you answer 

them, here are a few basic sci-fi, but more importantly 

psychological, cornerstones of believable space 

craft. 

DESIGN SIZE 

The first question is one of scale. Are you designing 

a huge freighter or just a smal fighter? If you're opting 

for a fighter you'll require on obvious cockpit 

area to help clarify scale. More importantly, you'll 

need large control surfaces or wing sections to 

enhance the feeling of high manoeuvrability. fighter 

planes have large swept bock wings, therefore viewers 

expect the same high speed look and feel from a 

space croft The fact that a space craft needs 

thrusters rather than wings has nothing to do with it. 

A house brick would be just as manoeuvrable as the 

sleekest body shape in deep space, but that's not the 

issue - it's all about perception. 

The most important thing about a ship's shape is 

POSSIBILITIES AND PRACTICALITIES 

Assuming you've decided on the nature of your 

beast, the next step is to think long and hard 

about practicalities. Will your ship need to dock 

with others or maybe land on an alien planet? It's 

absolutely vital that you run through all the possibilities 

in advance. The one thing you don't want 

to do is compromise the story telling because your 

creation doesn't allow for it. 

Another all important consideration for most 

people is polygon count. During the conceptual bit 

it's all too easy to run amuck designing massively 


Paper to

courte sy of the king of 3 0 spa ce , our ve ry own R on Thornton 

its psychological affect. Remember, you're not just a 

designing, you're actually delivering a visual 

narrative. If it looks mean, it is mean._ 

Next up comes the good guy/bad guy question. If 

your ship is a bad guy it's gal to look the part. 

Again, this is simply a matter of psychology. 

Basicaly, there are two main styling techniques for 

both large and small scale design. For 

Freighters/spoce cruisers the general rule of thumb is 

that bad guys have a very angular look with sharp 

aggressive protrusions and a generally more alien 

appearance. Good guys, on the other hand, are generaly 

more rounded and have a slightly softer, more 

organic look When it comes to fighters the 

complete ships that taut: rendering problems further 

down the line. What if you need ten ships on 

screen simuitaneously, what if you need to show 

the ship hurtling over a complex 30 landscape, 

will your machine take the strain? And if not, what 

can you afford to sacrifice in the original design? 

Next month we'll run through the process of 

converting your creation from paper into a basic 

3D design. In the subsequent issue we'll cover the 

importance of detail and how best to fake it with 

the aid of textures. • 

• 

differences are usualy more subtle, but having said 

that they tend to be more stringently applied. 

Basicaly, good guys tend to be more don like with 

large control surfaces and smooth sexy lines_ In 

short, the kind of ship every sell respecting sci.li fan 

would kill to take for a test drive. Bad guys, on the 

other hand, tend to opt for a much more predatorial 

look with undertones of either insects or birds of 

prey. 

Again, this plays on inherent fears in the human 

psyche. Creepy crowlies, huge vicious flying creo, 

tures with fangs and talons. Perhaps the best example 

of this is the innumerable number of bad guys flying 

about in ships with down swept, hawk-like 

wings. 

As mentioned earlier, these are simply rules of 

thumb. Essentially, it's a case of knight in shining 

armour fights dragon - the only thing you want to 

avoid is obvious repetition_ The acknowledged king 

of 3D space simulation, Ron Thornton, bases the 

majority of his designs on food - which given Ron's 

real world proportions isn't entirely surprising 

However, even if you examine Ron's masterful 

designs, these bosic themes still hold true. His bad 

dies, although generaly organic regardless of scole. 

all shore an inherent predatorial look, often displaying 

shark-like fins, squid-like tendrils, or perhaps spider-esque 

construction. Again, all phobia-inducing 

premonitions which you certainly wouldn't want to 

discover swimming about in your bathtub.
