said again. The <strong>Amiga</strong> market has<br />
0 t<br />
itself<br />
has been<br />
in a stranglehold.<br />
said before. It<br />
No-one<br />
will be<br />
. _ else 15 killing our machine but the<br />
users, companies, and publishers that are<br />
supposed to be supporting it.<br />
We all think the software bundle that<br />
accompanies every <strong>Amiga</strong> these days is the<br />
best yet, a smashing set of products, but the<br />
only problem with giving away all this nice<br />
software is that it reduces the chances that<br />
anyone will bother to buy anything else. If<br />
you supply a machine with everything its<br />
owner is likely to need, where's their<br />
incentive to go and spend some more<br />
money'?<br />
Sony themselves said that they purposely<br />
didn't bundle any software with their<br />
PlayStation console for the specific reason of<br />
getting people to fork out more cash for<br />
something to play on it. And everyone knows<br />
that in the console game, software is where<br />
the money is made_ Perhaps future bundles<br />
should concentrate more on shareware<br />
products or ones that definitely don't fulfill<br />
the potential of the machine. This might also<br />
cost a lot less for AT than market leaders<br />
would, thus saving some cash for R&D or<br />
perhaps adding in a larger hard drive.<br />
RIPPED OFF<br />
Magazine publishers are as much at fault<br />
with a seemingly endless stream of full product<br />
coverdisks that will soon dry up as publishers<br />
realise they will get no further revenue<br />
from sales to end users. This approach<br />
also alienates the end users who have paid<br />
good money for a product, only to find it for<br />
free on the front of a magazine six months<br />
down the line.Now I don't subscribe to the<br />
theory that these people have been ripped<br />
off - they've had six months of usage out of<br />
that program, they have proper documentation<br />
and (possibly) support and a firm<br />
upgrade path - but there are those that do.<br />
We at Amigo <strong>Computing</strong> have pretty much<br />
(only pretty much) given up on the idea of<br />
selling our souls for a quick buck as we have<br />
realised that the demise of the <strong>Amiga</strong> market<br />
can only be accelerated by such behaviour,<br />
and we are concentrating on offering our<br />
readers the best demos of new products or<br />
registered shareware which actually helps<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> community, or even our collection<br />

of utilities from Aminet and elsewhere. After<br />
all, some blame must be laid at the publishers'<br />
doors for entering into the deal with the<br />
magazines for their products anyway.<br />
If they were more willing to create demos<br />
of their products rather than simply dump<br />
out old versions, readers could get a look at<br />
new software and then, and here's the<br />
secret, go out and buy it._ ...provided, of<br />
course, they can still find someone who sells<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> software_ Retailers are never happy to<br />
see something they have in stock appearing<br />
on The front of the magazine because it<br />
means they have wasted money on stock<br />
that is never going to be sold - perhaps this<br />
is another reason there are so few dealers<br />

1 Does bundling<br />
software or<br />
putting it on<br />
coverdisks kill<br />
the market? Ben<br />
I Vost thinks so<br />
willing to stock <strong>Amiga</strong> software any more.<br />
I'm not asking anyone to boycott magazines<br />
that put full software on their covers,<br />
that would be unrealistic. But unless something<br />
changes in the very near future, there<br />
won't be any more programs to put on<br />
coverdisks because the publishers will have<br />
gone down the pan, the users will have sold<br />
their <strong>Amiga</strong>s, and AT will be left holding<br />
stock of thousands of unwanted <strong>Amiga</strong>s for<br />
which there is no market, lust thought you<br />
ought to know... izq<br />

yetech have announced<br />
their plans to make the<br />
best out of the CD32. Disappointed<br />
by the lack of expansion<br />
facilities and input/output connectors,<br />
they are now releasing the<br />
SX32 expansion unit to provide a<br />
portable <strong>Amiga</strong> solution with builtin<br />
CD-ROM. Claiming to be 'everything<br />
the SX 1 should have been' it<br />
fits in the CD32's FMV slot and<br />
incorporates the <strong>Amiga</strong> serial, parallel,<br />
video and floppy disk connections.<br />
As well as having a standard<br />
15-pin VGA monitor connector, it<br />
also allows the addition of a 2.5<br />

BALL FOR ACTION ON PIRACY<br />
A ccording to industry paper, OW, some of the big games firms are calling for a<br />
separate body to fight piracy. Currently, ELSPA (the Entertainment and leisure<br />
Software Publishers Association) have their Anti-Piracy Crime Unit dealing with the problem.<br />
However, following the recent news that the Police and Trading Standards could refuse to<br />
take action against pirates unless the industry actually provides more resources themselves,<br />
some of the major players are suggesting that ELSPA's Anti-Piracy Unit is made into an<br />
independent body.<br />
This, they believe, will make the industry more focused on the problem. ELSPA answered<br />
by saying that the suggestion had not been thought out properly and that the Crime Unit<br />
worked as a standalone organisation anyway.<br />
SIMM within the CO32 Eyetech<br />
believe that as the SX32 only sticks<br />
out 1 centimetre more than the<br />
normal CD32, and because of it's<br />
sturdy attachment, it makes it an<br />
ideal portable, low cost, multimedia<br />
option. The compatible<br />
keyboards and floppy disk drives<br />
are also available from Eyetech.<br />
The 5X32 comes with a Workbench<br />
3 CD which also has various utili-<br />
ties and PD/Shareware programs.<br />
The SX32 is E199.95, the Compact<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Keyboard, E34.95 and<br />

Now we have your attention, we just want to<br />
say thanks for the great response we've hod<br />
to our Reader Surveys. Still keep them<br />
coming though - there's no free beer (that<br />
was a cheap trick) but there is E200 worth<br />
of software and hardware tailored to your<br />
computer's needs up for grabs.<br />
We'll put your surveys into a draw and<br />
the lucky winner will be announced in our<br />
100th issue. All your entries must be<br />
received by 6 April, so send them to Reader<br />

ON THE MOVE<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> distributors SDL have announced<br />
that the company are set to move to new<br />
premises in Woking. SOL, which also incorporates<br />
the retail chain Silica, were recently<br />
saved from financial stri r by a take over by<br />
the Anglo Corporation.<br />
The move will mean expansion for the<br />
company as the new site is around 10,000<br />
square feet bigger than their current premises.<br />
However, although all the current staff<br />
have been offered jobs at the new site, it's<br />
thought that some staff may not wish to<br />
relocate.<br />

EXTRACTING<br />
COVERDISK FILES<br />
Before any where you even near think your of computer putting thec youcitks<br />
. make I sure d you write protect them by moving<br />
the black tab in the top corner of the disk so<br />
ou can see through the hole. Doing this<br />
kes sure you cannot damage your disks in<br />
y way. There is also no reason why the<br />
erdisks need to be written to, so even if the<br />
mputer asks you to write enable the disks,<br />
n't do it<br />
To extract the programs off the second disk<br />
u must make sure you have booted your<br />
mputer with the first coverdisk, otherwise<br />
our <strong>Amiga</strong> will not be able to find the<br />
nstaller program, and frustration will soon<br />
in-<br />
To extract any single archive, simply double-<br />
Kk its icon, and follow the on screen instrucns_<br />
If you want to quickly extract the program<br />

speed improvements added to it. Most<br />
importantly, the routines that create MUI<br />

buttons and so on, have been re-written in<br />

redrawing of the GUI is much faster than<br />
before. These speed improvements really<br />
shine through on slower machines because<br />
they benefit the most from the increased<br />
speed. There are also a number of important<br />
bug fixes introduced in the last few versions.<br />
Once you have extracted MUI from the<br />
coverdisk into RAM you need to install it onto<br />
you hard drive. If you do not already have a<br />
copy of MUI this version will only require<br />
around 1.5Mb of space, but can be reduced<br />
to about BOOk if you do not install any of the<br />
documentation, extra images or demo<br />
programs that are worth a look but are not<br />
necessary.<br />
Installation is very simple thanks to the<br />
well written <strong>Amiga</strong> installer script You should<br />
really choose the Inte mediate install level as<br />

to choose exactly<br />

take many hours to write and a lot of<br />

the programmer.<br />

SCOUT<br />
Author: Andreas Gelhausen<br />
Magic User Interlace<br />
Workbench 2.04<br />
Scout is a system monitor which allows you to<br />
find out many things about the state of your<br />
computer such as libraries, windows, resident<br />
commands, tasks, interrupts, ports, memory and<br />
loads of other things. It is also possible to perform<br />
a number of operations on certain parts of<br />
your system, close windows, and freeze tasks.<br />
MUI is not actually needed as all of Scouts<br />
functions can be accessed through the shell, but<br />
this is obviously not as simple You can even<br />
use Scout as an AmiTCP service which allows<br />
you to access other people's machines over<br />
network.<br />

The nicest thing you can say about the onginal<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong> Screen Mode requester is that it<br />
worked. This MUI version gives you the obligatory<br />
tailored MU1 interface that is font sensitive<br />
and resizable, and it also has the unusual<br />
option of letting you have a Ham screen mode<br />
This potentially allows you to have around<br />
quarter of a million colours on your Workbench<br />
MAD HOUSE<br />
Author Carsten Jahn<br />
Magic User Interface<br />
Workbench 2.04<br />
Blankers on Macs and PCs have started to turn<br />
heads, and this all kicked off from the old flying<br />
toaster blanker that appeared on the Mac by the<br />
After Dark people years ago. Unfortunately, this<br />
has ended up with certain PC blankers requiring<br />
20Mbs of hard drive space as they actually end<br />
up telling a complete story.<br />
If you do not have that amount of space to<br />
spare then Madhouse could be just what you<br />
are looking for. It is a MU: screen blanker, similar<br />
to Blitz Blank, and is very easy to use and set<br />
up. You should use the provided installer icon<br />
to install Madhouse, otherwise you will need to<br />
set an assign by hand so it can find its blanker<br />
modules.<br />
As standard. Madhouse comes with 12<br />
blankers but it can accept SwazBlanker modules,<br />
so if you have this alteady you can extend<br />
your number of blanker programs. Of interest<br />
there is a Sensible Soccer look-a-like blanker<br />
that plays out a full football match, or soccer<br />
match to our overseas friends.<br />
There are plenty of options that separate<br />
MadHouse from other blankers and it comes<br />
with a good number of quality blankers the<br />
snow, soccer and nautical are particularly novel.<br />
This is a shareware program so if you plan to<br />
keep it do not forget to register as this will<br />
insure that it will be continued to be developed<br />
in the future<br />

LOTTERY<br />
Author: John Comer<br />
Workbench 2.04<br />
Lottery madness seems to have the entirc<br />
nation firmly in its sweaty mitts, with people<br />
shamelessly throwing pounds out of the<br />
window just to have the words "it's not you"<br />
reverberating firmly round their heads.<br />
It has also seemingly kick started every two<br />
bit programmer into writing their own lottery<br />
predictor. The last few months have seen a<br />
number of programs popping up in the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
<strong>Computing</strong> offices, one or two of which were<br />
very good, many of the others being dubious<br />
looking random number generators.<br />
This lottery predictor is different. Firstly it's<br />
beam* ,<br />
not written in Amos so it multitasks correctly<br />
and uses standard looking gadgets. Before you<br />
run Lottery it really needs to be installed using<br />
the provided installer script which will set up<br />
the Analyser assign, otherwise you will have to<br />
do this manually from the Shell.<br />
Once you have Lottery up and running there<br />
are plenty of statistics about previously drawn<br />
balls. You can find out the number of times<br />
each number has appeared, the frequency certain<br />
numbers have been drawn, and if low, middle<br />
or high combinations are more common<br />
than others,<br />
When it comes to actually predicting the<br />
numbers. Lottery uses a fairly straightforward<br />
system. This consists of producing three lines of<br />
numbers, one biased to high numbers, one<br />
biased to low numbers, and the last to produce<br />
a combination of the two. You can have up to<br />
seven lines, or a syndicate mode allowsyou to<br />
have 100 rows, and when the balls are actually<br />
drawn you enter these into the Lottery database<br />
which will automatically check if you have won<br />
or not The program is win-ware, so if you get<br />
four winning balls or MOM using it you should<br />
send the author some of the winnings to show<br />
your gratitude. ••<br />

For anyone looking for a better disk packer than DMS, this is your answer.<br />
Disksqueeze is an Lix-based disk packer that is similar to DMS but much more<br />
efficient. To use it you must already have the Lzx packer which allows<br />
Disksqueeze to use its very efficient packing algorithms.<br />
Once you have installed the program its interface is just a simple set of<br />
requesters that guide you through the packing or unpacking process. It supports<br />
high density disks, including Mac and PC formats - a unique feature for a disk<br />
packer - as well as being able to handle DMS archives, so most people should<br />
find this perfect for squishing their disks.<br />

Workbench 104<br />
Current owners of SCSI interfaces who have<br />
a CD drive will probably be using the old<br />
AmiCD file handler or, if you have<br />
Workbench 3.1, you will be using the<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong> CD file system. These do a<br />
perfectly good job, but there is always room<br />
for improvement.<br />
This is an update to the original AmiCD<br />
file system that many people will have. This<br />
version is now faster and improves compatibility<br />
with strange DOS packets. Proper disk<br />
buffers are now available which helps CD<br />
access and loading of large files. Generally,<br />
the original code has been cleaned up and<br />
optimised to get the best out of your<br />
CD-ROM.<br />
The supplied <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide does explain<br />
how to install the software. You need to<br />
copy the CDO icon to your DEVS:DOSdrivers<br />
directory, copy the AmiCIDIS and WBStart-<br />
Handler files to your L directory, and finally<br />
copy over the Mount and Setpatch<br />
commands to your own C drawer.<br />
You will need to change the CDO file with<br />
a text editor to suit your own machine's<br />
setup. Load the CDO file into your favourite<br />
text editor and change the DEVICE to your<br />
SCSI device - for Squirrel users this will be<br />
5quirrelscsidevictand owners of other SCSI<br />
cards will need to consult the documentation<br />
to find out the correct device of their<br />
SCSI card.<br />
After this, adjust the UNIT number to your<br />
CD's SCSI unit number - most CD players<br />
allow you to select the SCSI ID number on<br />
the back. Now restart your machine and you<br />
should have access to your CD.<br />

STARTUP CONTROL<br />
Author: Dirk Jesse<br />
Workbench 2.04<br />
Startup Control is a program that gives yo<br />
more control over how your machine sta<br />
up. On my machine I have a small progra<br />
that detects if I am holding the right mou<br />
button, and if so will load Workbench wit<br />
the WBStartup drawer disabled.<br />
With Startup Control you will have th<br />
option, along with many more, implement<br />
in a much better way. To install Startu<br />
Control, copy the program to your C dir<br />
ory and insert the line C:StartupControl<br />
your startup sequence, just after th<br />
C:Setpatch command. To do this, open<br />
shell and type ed s:stortup-sequence.<br />
When you reboot your machine, if y<br />
hold down the left mouse button and one<br />
the Alt keys, you will have the choice to cl<br />
.able the WBStartup, User-Startup, run scri<br />
pfiles, open a shell window, and even force<br />
normal PAL window - if you have a monit<br />
driver installed.<br />
Startup Control works by renaming th<br />
files, so when you reboot your machine th<br />
are renamed to what they should be. Als<br />
anyone using SysiHack must make sure th.<br />
is run before Startup Control is.<br />

Scheduler is very straightforward to u<br />
You can click on a date in the calendar an<br />
add new appointments which can be m<br />
daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly, and<br />
can ask for a reminder at a specific time of<br />
the day. You can then iconify the program<br />
and it will happily sit back and wait for you.<br />

All the lazy people stand up. If you own a<br />
hard drive I bet you haven't bothered to back<br />
it up in years, even though you know if it<br />
crashes you will never be able to get your<br />
files back. Well, UCBackup will be a little life<br />
saver for you.<br />
Firstly, there is the absolute minimum of<br />
fuss involved. You drop it into you WB5tartup<br />
drawer, double-click on it, then use exchange<br />
to pop up its interface and select what directories<br />
you want it to check. From then on,<br />
every week, UCBackup will scan these<br />
directories and Lha all the new files onto a<br />
destination of your choice.<br />

You may or may not know that the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
actualy has up to 256 separate clipboards.<br />
The clipboard is where any temporary data<br />
is stored, and usually when you cut or copy<br />
something it is stored to the first clipboard.<br />
This allows you to copy from Brilliance and<br />
paste the graphic into Final Writer.<br />
Instead of letting all these clipboards go<br />
to waste, CBE gives you a clipboard history<br />
by buffering all the past cuts and copy into<br />
a list From this you can choose which one<br />
to paste with and if they should be cleared<br />
or not.<br />
With Workbench 3, users can view what<br />
the contents of each clip board is, therefore<br />
giving you a better idea of what you will be<br />

when doing our Internet virgin article, and<br />
works with SLIP or any other software that<br />
accesses the serial port.<br />
Dialer provides an automatic dial and<br />
logon script for all types of network software<br />
that uses the serial device but does not know<br />
about modems.<br />
You will need to copy the dialetdevice to<br />
your DEVS drawer and the dialeaconfig<br />
needs to be edited to your own needs and<br />
copied to the Envarc drawer. Checker out the<br />
Internet virgin feature on page 53 for more<br />
details on how to use it<br />

UPDATE LIDS<br />
Author: Dan Rhodes<br />
Workbench 104<br />
You know the situation. You have a new<br />
program with loads of libraries, most of<br />
which you already have, but how do you<br />
easily tell if the these libraries are newer or<br />
older than the ones you already have.<br />
Update libs is the remedy for you ills.<br />
It is a Shell-based program so copy it into<br />
your C directory, and to run it just supply it<br />
with the directory containing the mystery<br />
libraries and away it will go.<br />
For each<br />
should - install it or not.<br />

FX yis<br />
a small program that allows you to add<br />
sound o effects to accompany a number of<br />
standard u system events. Usually, these sort of<br />
programs<br />
w h<br />
just watch for disks being inserted<br />
or removed.<br />
e t<br />
FX can watch all manner of operating sys-<br />
h e<br />
tem calls, from windows and screens being<br />
r<br />
opened and closed to files being deleted and<br />
renamed. i<br />
t<br />
The program requires Workbench 3 as it<br />
uses Datatypes to load the samples, but this<br />
means you will be able to use PC Wave samples<br />
or any other sample Datatypes you have.<br />
An install script is provided so installation is<br />
simple, and as long as you have a selection ol<br />
samples, you can get going straight away.<br />

WBSTARTUP+<br />
Author: John Hughes<br />
Workbench 2_04<br />
This is another one of those little make your<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> a nicer place to live-type of programs.<br />
WBStartup+ gives you a handy preference<br />
program to handle how and which programs<br />
are run from the WBStartup drawer. It does<br />
this by creating two new drawers in the<br />
WBStartup and adding a new program to handle<br />
launching all your chosen programs. This<br />
is all set up by the usual installer script and is<br />
very straightforward.<br />
When Workbench first appears, if you hold<br />
down Ctrl you can modify the preferences<br />
p<br />
.<br />
before anything is run,<br />
left alt interactively asks<br />
you if it should run a program<br />
or not, and the left<br />
shift will disable all the<br />
programs. You might be<br />
interested to know that<br />
this is the first program I<br />
have seen to use a new<br />
library called launcher.<br />
library which is written by <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies<br />
no less. They must be up to something<br />
after all.<br />

has come a long way and grown<br />
up a lot. The last few versions<br />
O<br />
have taken full advantage of<br />
iaii<br />
v-<br />
specification machines who expect programs<br />
e rr to take full advantage of increased storage<br />
r—<br />
space and processor power. This has now<br />
eid<br />
led to full 24-bit picture support, free form<br />
vea<br />
text boxes and tables, scalable fonts support<br />
ise<br />
for Compugraphic, Post Script and True type<br />
sd<br />
fonts, and, of course, Digita's Font and text<br />
effects.<br />
in<br />
o The extended font effects give you much<br />
u<br />
more n flexibility over how fonts will appear.<br />
You<br />
m<br />
s have complete control over the width,<br />
oblique,<br />
b<br />
o superscript and subscript levels for<br />
all e<br />
n<br />
the fonts, along with being able to make<br />
them r small caps and add strike through and.<br />
double ao<br />
underline.<br />
nf<br />
The only feature that was not fully implemented<br />
d u in the beta I looked at was the<br />
Wizards Ws<br />
ARexx function. Wizards are ARexx<br />
scripts oe<br />
that have been written to help<br />
automate r standard processes that you may<br />
use ds<br />
Wordworth for, or as tutorials that guide.<br />
you w through complex processes.<br />
oi<br />
Currently, you get five scripts, one of<br />
which rt<br />
is a mail merge tutorial, while the<br />
others th<br />
help you quickly create faxes, memos,<br />
and h<br />
invoices, and even a basic Web page<br />
creator is supplied.<br />
i<br />
Wizards allow you to quickly create documents<br />
g<br />
by entering details into text<br />
requesters.<br />
h<br />
Once everything has been<br />
entered<br />
e<br />
the Wizard will automatically create<br />
the r document ready to be printed. II you<br />
have some programming knowledge you<br />
could alter the existing Wizards as they are<br />
just ARexx scripts. Therefore, you could create<br />
completely new Wizards or alter the look<br />
of the documents the current Wizards create.<br />
IMPORTING<br />
-<br />
bits<br />
1 I<br />
A cheque printing Wizard has already<br />
appeared on Aminet, so I would guess there<br />
will be more in the future.<br />
I was surprised that Wordworth does not<br />
support the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s Datatypes - as<br />
Datastore does I was expecting Wordworth<br />
to as well. This is not such a disadvantage as<br />
there are a good number of supported formats,<br />
With the usual IF support, induding<br />
Ham and 24-bit images, Wordworth can<br />
import CIF, PCX, Tiff and Img format images,<br />
and all the major scalable image formats are<br />
covered - CGM, EPS and GEM - with EPS<br />
being the most important format of the<br />
three.<br />
As Datatypes currently only work in 8<br />
there is a reason for using your own import<br />
filters, but support of Datatypes on top<br />
would allow you to import other formats not<br />
supported by Digita's own import filters,<br />
such as Jpeg - as all my pictures are Jpegs<br />
this would be a helpful addition.<br />
Some people may feel that the recommended<br />
specification is a little high, but an<br />
Al200 with a RAM expansion or accelerator<br />
can easily handle complex documents, and if<br />
you want the sort of power that Wordworth<br />
provides then you need the hardware to<br />
match. For people with a more restricted setup,<br />
a 'lite' version of Wordworth 5 will be<br />
released.<br />
Having used this version of Wordworth for<br />
a while I think it is a worthwhile investment<br />
for owners of earlier versions. The style<br />
sheets help greatly in document formatting,<br />
and the extended graphics support improves<br />
the end quality of your documents. There are<br />
still differences between Wordworth and<br />
Final Writer, primarily the lack of sections<br />
and the ability to rotate graphics - both of<br />
revolution<br />

Wordworth. The only other difference is the<br />
grammar checker recently added to Final<br />

Version five of Wordworth is truly<br />
excellent. All the speed problems of the<br />
earlier versions have been addressed and<br />
the program itself conforms very well to the<br />

minor improvements, I have a hard time<br />

o what do we have here? Two<br />
graphics tablets, one big, the other<br />
minuscule (and not really a graphics<br />
tablet at all). Let's start small<br />
and work our way up.<br />
Our mini tablet is a device that has seen<br />
1;1 service on many a modern laptop and is called<br />
the Alps GlidePoint (made by the electronics<br />
arm of famous car stereo manufacturer Alpine.<br />
Perhaps you can get a sticker to go across the<br />
top of your monitor that shows you have<br />
ClidePoint tool). The idea is that it replaces a<br />
mouse or trackball setup and allows you to use<br />
your computer just by moving your finger<br />
around. The GlidePoint's operating area is only<br />
about an inch by two, but the manufacturers<br />
reckon they have a resolution of some 4900<br />
dots crammed into that tiny space.<br />
This little beastie plugs into your valuable<br />
serial port to work, so owners of multi-serial<br />
cards can sigh with satisfaction that they can at<br />
last use one of those extra serial ports, while<br />
owners of Al200s will have to tear their hair<br />
out when they want to use a modem, or the<br />
other tablet in this review.<br />

There is accompanying driver software<br />
included on disk which can sit in your<br />
WBStartup drawer, ready to run when you<br />
boot In my experience, using serial mice on an<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> can cause frustrations when you need to<br />
boot from a disk other than your normal one. I,<br />
certainly, always left my normal mouse plugged<br />
in, just in case. This, of course, limits the usefulness<br />
of these devices and along with the serial<br />
port use, must limit the appeal of the product<br />
for most people.<br />
However, all this would be fine if the product<br />
was great to use, but unfortunately it isn't I<br />
found the GlidePoint to be awkward in use,<br />
especially for moving windows around. You<br />
couldn't use it for drawing any more than you<br />
could use one of those lightpens that were<br />
popular about four years ago. In short, the<br />
tablets that are<br />

•isl port to plug a mouse ento, there<br />
r a mouse parr This has lead to a<br />
re variety of mouse-type dessces that<br />
you could plug into your Amigo's serial<br />
The PowerTemplate software that comes with the<br />
PowerTab is almost worth the asking price on its own.<br />
It allows the user to create templates for their<br />
favourite programs so that all functions (or at least as<br />
many as possible) are available directly from the<br />
tablet, without having to go through menus or<br />
requesters. The template software can replace keyboard,<br />
qualifier and ARexx commands with buttons<br />
on the tablet that take some getting used to, but are<br />
much faster once acclimatised.<br />
However, all is not perfect with PowerTemplate.<br />
NTSC users might have a problem displaying the<br />
whole screen, and non-AGA, non-graphics cards<br />
using Amigo owners won't be able to run the<br />

software at all. It's also slow and clunky to use,<br />
although looks very nice. The worst problem, though,<br />
is the fact that although the PowerTab software will<br />
run through any serial port, PowerTemplate will only<br />
use the internal serial port found on every <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
The software is also a bit buggy and prone to<br />
crashing, so frequent saves must be made in order to<br />
ovoid losing work. But all that considered,<br />
Power<br />
can - only hope will improve over time. I'm currently<br />
making Templ a template for LightWave's Modeler that will<br />
save ate me an enormous amount of time looking<br />
through i s Modeler's menus, and that alone makes up<br />
for a all of PowerTemplate's faults for me.<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
MAY 1996<br />
GlidePoint is really only suitable for those wellheeled<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> owners who have an extra serial<br />
port or two going unused and so little desk<br />
space that they have to use it. Anyone else<br />
would be recommended to look at getting a<br />
trackball or three-button mouse.<br />
Our second tablet, on the other hand, is a<br />
much better affair. You still need to take up that<br />
valuable serial port, but at least with this product<br />
you'll probably only be using it occasionally.<br />
Tablets of this kind have been available<br />
before, but this is the first I am aware of that<br />
actually comes with template editing software<br />
to allow you to set up areas of the tablet as buttons,<br />
rather than having to use the menus or<br />
••••••• Immo t•M•P ••8<br />
keyboard shortcuts_ The tablet also corn<br />
equipped with both stylus and four-butto<br />
puck, which is unusual, and Power hay<br />
supplied ready-made templates for some<br />
the most popular graphics packages on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>, DPaints IV and V, and Personal Paint<br />
6.4. The tablet itself is sturdily made and, as<br />
you can see by the photograph, the puck is<br />
ergonomically designed.<br />
The Power tablet performs well in drawing<br />
operations, although for best use a tablet<br />
needs to be pressure sensitive and the stylus is<br />
a bit top heavy due to the trailing wire, but<br />
other than these minor qualms, I would have<br />
no hesitation recommending this tablet to<br />
prospective buyer.<br />

eOur erstwhile editor<br />
I reports from Europe's<br />
, largest computer show<br />
1order. It's a tribute to the estimated<br />
750,000 people that visited<br />
CeBit this year that they managed<br />
it at all. Already, most hotels in the<br />
city are fully booked for next year's show, and<br />
possibly the year after, Already these same<br />
hotels are taking reservations for Expo 2000<br />
which will take place in Hannover with a predicted<br />
40,000,000 visitors over the course of a<br />
year.<br />
So what hope did I have, only trying to make<br />
my way here two weeks before the show? The<br />
answer is none. Unless, that is, I wanted to<br />
spend 3650DM a night for a hotel room. How<br />
much is 650DM? Doh, only about E325 at the<br />
current exchange rate. And that's per night It<br />
does include breakfast but no baths in asses<br />
milk or slaves fanning me and peeling grapes or<br />
anything like that<br />
Anyway, here's a tip for last minute visitors to<br />
CeBit. When you arrive at Hannover airport, visit<br />
the Hannover Hotel Service - you should be<br />
able to find it easily enough - and queue there<br />
for about two hours. They'll find you a room,<br />
either in a private house, bed breakfast, or a<br />
hotel conference room (which is where I<br />
'stayed). The cost shouldn't be more than<br />
100DM a night, unless you rent an apartment,<br />
in which case you should look for about 150DM<br />
a night. But you don't really want to know<br />
about this, you want to know all abbut the<br />
show.<br />
ENORMOUS<br />
IT'S MASSIVE!! It really is. It took me at least half<br />
an hour of walking to even reach the<br />
Escom/Arriga Technologies stand, going past<br />
stands that were larger than a three-bedroomed<br />
detached house showing off PCs, printers,<br />
imagesetters, storage devices, ATM machines,<br />
and any amount of different computer-related<br />
equipment. At the front of one of the stands, I<br />
don't know which, there was an HDTV in a case<br />
filled with bubbling water, showing a fish tank.<br />
The only difference I could see between it and a<br />
real tank full of fish was that the HDTV display<br />
looked more real (and certainly a lot easier to<br />

N<br />
Village Tronic's large stand<br />
was jumping with interested<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> users all eager<br />
for a look at the new<br />
Picasso 11 Plus or Picasso 4.<br />
If they were disappointed<br />
with their non-appearance,<br />
they soon cheered up when<br />
they saw the new version of<br />
MainActor Broadcast (the<br />
update is freely available on the Main Concept Website at<br />
http://www.ac-copy.comimaincpthtml), the DKB Wildfire 060<br />
card for the A2000, and the new line of software from ProDAD.<br />
The DKB board is special in several ways. Firstly, it has an<br />
ethernet port built-in, it also has a FAST SCSI 11 controller giving<br />
up to 7Mbisec, a PCI expansion bus allowing for a new Picasso<br />
card to be integrated with the accelerator, and perhaps most<br />
importantly, the ability to run at a true 66MHz, something no<br />
other 060 accelerator yet does. All you A4000 owners will be<br />
happy that a board for your machines will be out by the end of<br />
the summer, and A3000 owners will be catered for by the end<br />
of the year.<br />

look after). So eventually, like<br />
Amundsen to the North Pole, I<br />
reached the Escom stand. It was packed.<br />
Unlike Compaq or NEC, who'd created an air<br />
of business-like silence and space, the Escom<br />
stand was, by contrast, more like a heaving<br />
nest of termites, with about as much room to<br />
move around as on the Tokyo subway. They<br />
had the usual PCs (some <strong>Commodore</strong><br />
badged - it's nice to see that Escom are getting<br />
something for their 510 million dollar<br />
outlay) and some Al200s. The Al200s were<br />
either showing off games, music or the new<br />
Surfer pack replete with Mindwalker<br />
Web browser, of which we have a working<br />
preview copy.<br />
As we've explained to death already, the<br />
pack comes ready to run when you buy it,<br />
and with just a phone call to IBM's toll free<br />
number you are ready to roll. The modem<br />

country to decide which one will be<br />

However, the best thing on the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Technologies stand was, without doubt, the<br />
first new <strong>Amiga</strong> since the A4000T burst on<br />
the scene back in '93. The machine (codenamed<br />
Walker at the moment) is a bizarre<br />
design as you will see from the photos on<br />
these pages, but it really looks the part and<br />
says that the <strong>Amiga</strong> is a different machine.<br />
Even with all these trendy PCs with black<br />
cases or integral speakers coming out of their<br />
d sides, the Walker still stands out from the<br />
e crowd.<br />
l The Walker will come with a largish IDE<br />

SIMMs, the Chip RAM expandable to 2Mb —<br />
and a quad-speed CD-ROM drive. It will cost<br />
between 1000 and 1600DM (E500 E800)<br />
when it comes out for the Christmas '96 market<br />
and will be based around an ECO30 chip<br />
running at 40MHz, no FPU, no MMU.<br />
The case design is a novel one with a single..<br />
multipurpose slot on the motherboard to<br />
accommodate a backplane which could have<br />
Zorro II, Zorro III or even ISA and possibly PCI<br />
slots for graphics cards, processor upgrades or<br />
whatever, Depending on what size backplane<br />
the user fits, the case will have to be extended<br />
upwards with spacers, which may result in the<br />
machine becoming a mini-tower system rather<br />
than a hoover look-alike, as has been suggest.<br />
ed by German wits at the show.<br />
Another change for this machine is the new<br />
Super1/0 chip which doesn't yet have a groovy<br />
name like the rest of the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s chipset This<br />
chip will be responsible for high-speed,<br />
bi-directional serial and parallel ports and has<br />
the bandwidth to provide several of them, or<br />
related types of I/O like MIDI. The Walker will<br />

Technologies M may well change the case's<br />
colour and make the motherboard smaller,<br />
t<br />
There o is some question whether the Walker will<br />
ship<br />
fi<br />
with a floppy drive at the moment, the<br />
reasoning being that CD-ROM helps to prevent<br />
t<br />
casual piracy, and even some wild rumours<br />
s<br />
that you will need t w o<br />
floppy<br />
o<br />
drives — one for old standard <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
disks m (low density ones, that is) and one for a<br />
new e high density format that will use a standard<br />
o PC floppy disk drive. Heinz Wroebel<br />
assures f me that the machine will ship with a<br />
floppy t drive and that it will be a PC high density<br />
drive, h but he fears that compatibility with the<br />
old e <strong>Amiga</strong> high density format will be lost<br />
p The machine will also be able to boot from<br />
the r internal CD-ROM, opening the way for<br />
games o manufacturers to merge their CD32 and<br />
Walker p development Gilles Bourdin reckons it<br />
omight<br />
also mean that games houses that have<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong> might return now that they are<br />

Gilles doesn't feel at all worried about the<br />
future of the <strong>Amiga</strong>. He believes its strengths<br />
and dedicated userbase will see it through<br />
these admittedly lean times. He sees the Walker<br />
as an intermediate step towards the<br />
Power<strong>Amiga</strong> next year, and hopes that onetime<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> developers will return to the fold<br />
when they see the quality of the new machine.<br />
On Workbench 3.2, Gilles had this to say:<br />
some of the main changes will be networking<br />
abilities, more colourful icons (it hasn't been<br />
decided whether to use the MagicWB set or<br />
another, or design one from scratch), more<br />
utilities etc<br />
- REVISIONS<br />
Workbench 3.2 will be the last revision made<br />
for 680x0 machines according to Bourdin,<br />
future revisions will only take place for the<br />
Power<strong>Amiga</strong>. Just to cheer old-time <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />
up, Gilles revealed that Dave Haynie and Andy<br />
Finkel are consulting for <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies on<br />
the implementation of Workbench and design<br />
matters for the new machines, along with Olaf<br />
Barthel and Heinz Wroebel. The Walker isn't<br />
going to be a stopgap machine, however. It will<br />
be upgradeable to the PowerPC chip, when it<br />
becomes available. Speaking of PowerPCs, the<br />
Power<strong>Amiga</strong> project is actually running slightly<br />
ahead of schedule at the moment and <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

CeBit is one of the<br />

seven days is double c that. The catalogue<br />

about 5-6Ibs. You s can throw away all but<br />
a couple of ounces t of that, though, if you<br />
have a suitable s machine equipped with a<br />
CD-ROM because<br />
5<br />
you get one with all the<br />
information contained in the book with<br />
0<br />
the catalogue.<br />
D<br />
CeBit takes place over seven days in 26<br />
M<br />
halls and has a total of 6,507 companies<br />
from 66 different<br />
(<br />
countries exhibiting in a<br />
total of 465,847 E square metres of display<br />
space. 2<br />
The showground 5 is so large that there<br />
are bus services o operating to carry people<br />
between halls r and there is parking for<br />
over 50,000 cars at any one time.<br />
There are hundreds of toilets, snack<br />
bars and restaurants all over the show-<br />
ground, so finding people can be a nightmare.<br />
Fortunately for me, the people I<br />
wanted to meet were all clustered around<br />
the few <strong>Amiga</strong>-related stands, so it wasn't<br />
too much of a problem. • ' 1111<br />
Technologies hope to have something to show<br />
this time next year. However, your loyal<br />
reporter thinks that the new machine is far<br />
from the perfect solution, When airs said and<br />
done, it is still an Al200, admittedly faster and<br />
with better expansion possibilities, but with no<br />
real improvement on current (and by current I<br />
really mean five year old) technology.<br />
The backplane idea for adding Zorro slots is<br />
a good one in principle, but it means additional<br />
costs for the user who wants to upgrade his<br />
machine. First he has to buy the baciiplane,<br />
and how much will that cost? Then he has to<br />
buy his expansion. If he decides to further<br />
expand his machine, he'll have to get rid of his<br />
original backplane and buy a larger one, all the<br />
time ensuring the new card will have the slots<br />
he needs for the cards he already has, and he'll<br />
need to buy the spacer unit to make his<br />
machine tall enough to take the new cards_<br />
BENEFITS<br />
In my humble opinion, it would have been<br />
more beneficial to have room inside the<br />
machine for two Zorro II/III cards and an in-line<br />
video slot, In addition, the machine should<br />
have had the same CPU slot as an A3000,<br />
A4000 and so on so that the companies<br />
remaining who support the <strong>Amiga</strong> don't have<br />
their resources further stretched by having to<br />
tool up for a third <strong>Amiga</strong> standard. For instance,<br />
Phase 5 already make accelerators for the<br />
Al200 and the A4000/3000. They are not<br />
going to want to have to make a third type of<br />
accelerator to satisfy Walker owners. I'm sure<br />
they'll do it anyway, but it might mean the end<br />
fl lome ga 's ne w ba by gia nts, the Ja r a nd D itto drive s.<br />
We hope to re vie w the m soon<br />
n SyQuast's SyJe t should<br />
prove a ma jor compe titor<br />

In this globa l ma rke t,<br />
compa nie s re a lly ought to<br />
pay more a tte ntion to the<br />
connota tions the ir<br />
bame might ha ve in othe r<br />
countrie s.-<br />
of them. After all, it's not as though there are<br />
thousands of existing Al200 or big box <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
owners out there who are suddenly going to<br />
drop everything they own and switch to a<br />
Walker.<br />
Perhaps, rather than simply rearranging<br />
everything in the case design and adding this<br />
In fact the new <strong>Amiga</strong> launch was probably the most exciting<br />
event at this year's CeBit, even though it probably interested less<br />
than one per cent of the visitors to the show.<br />

MAY 1 9<br />
F IT FOR<br />
AN AMIGA?<br />
NI in all, the CeBit show doesn't really suit the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> market. There are far too many extremely<br />
serous people doing very grown up things on<br />
machines that have probably never even had a<br />
game of Tetris on them, and this small, ckfferent,<br />
company doesn't really fit in Some companies<br />
who were noticeable by their absence, however,<br />
included MacroSystem, who, you would have<br />
thought. would be in their element showing I:0<br />
the Dram as a standalone video editing machine<br />
at a fraction of the cost of a similar Avid set-up,<br />
never mind the fact that it is <strong>Amiga</strong>-based And<br />
Phase 5 were surprisingly not on the Motorola<br />
booth showing off a potential prototype of the<br />
PowerUp PowerPC accelerator card for the<br />
NTiga<br />
Even so, Haar & partners were on Motorola's<br />
stand showing off Storm C14-t-, An ANSI compliant<br />
C package with full support for Motorola's<br />
060 and a GUI editor? Sounds too good to be<br />
true? Well, unless you speak German, it is.<br />
Translation is going ahead now for the manual,<br />
but don't expect it to surface for a couple of<br />
months, at least, in its English form.<br />
r m not sure if I have correctly conveyed<br />
just how fleets to attend CeBit, so I'S try again<br />
Unless you have a fortune to spend and resenrahons<br />
made, CeBit is like that favounte of Japanese<br />
television shows- Endurance I realty do feel like<br />
rve been put through the mil. Anyway, that's the<br />
news from CeBit I'm off to soak my aching<br />
feet for a few haws-<br />
new bus, <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies should have<br />
done what they have always said they are<br />
doing and build on the strengths of the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
Surely some form of video expansion like a<br />
built-in genlock, or a sound sampler, would<br />
have been of more immediate benefit to new<br />
users and build on the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s much-trumpeted<br />
multimedia superiority.<br />
A built-in sound sampler<br />
would also mean that the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> could get some form<br />
of Internet phone access,<br />
another string in the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>'s bow.<br />
Then the surfer pack<br />
could realty offer something<br />
new. Just imagine the<br />
scarce advertising: 'International<br />
calls at a local rate -<br />
they're yours with the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>! Still, the machine I<br />
saw was only a prototype<br />
and there is plenty of time<br />
for changes before its<br />
selling period,<br />
NOUGH AMIGA, WHAT ABOUT<br />
OTHER PLATFORMS?<br />
bemoaning the lack of interesting or new products, and several<br />
visitors I spoke to also complained about a dearth of innovative<br />
products. Still, I guess the new <strong>Amiga</strong> could be lumped in that<br />
category too.

30<br />
extensions to the Amos language<br />
0 here<br />
in recent<br />
have<br />
years,<br />
been<br />
and<br />
a<br />
seemingly<br />
lot of<br />
the development of such additions<br />
to the language has not abated even<br />
though most commercial development on<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> has taken a break to see what is<br />
going to happen next. If anything, development<br />
of add-ons for Amos has increased<br />
11<br />
since both <strong>Commodore</strong> and Europress<br />
Software ceased to support the <strong>Amiga</strong>. OS<br />
Devkit for Amos Pro, written by Brice<br />
Fromentin, is a fine addition to these<br />
extensions, allowing you to use all the<br />
standard <strong>Amiga</strong> libraries, like asl.library,<br />
execlibrary, gadtools.library,intuition.library,<br />
graphics.library etc.<br />
INSTALLER STALLS<br />
The system requires you to have Amos Pro<br />
2.0 and above (it says 1.0+ but you can't use<br />
the compiler with anything below 2.0, can<br />
you?), <strong>Amiga</strong> OS 2.0 and above, and<br />
anything above a 68000 will do, so 060<br />
drivers should watch their speed.<br />
The program is a mere snip to install as it<br />
has an install program on the disks, but this<br />
does suffer from a slight problem in that<br />
department, however, because it seems to<br />
look for the APSystem directory under<br />
something called AmosPro_System. You<br />
could, I suppose, assign that name to<br />
APSystem, but I found the best way to install<br />
it was to copy the libs into APSystem<br />
and unpack all the other LZH files into a<br />
convenient directory like AmosPro.<br />
Once the files are copied, you have to<br />
start Amos Pro and use the Set Interpreter<br />
command to point Amos to the lib file for<br />
the extension. That done, everything is in<br />
order.<br />
The documentation on the disk is in<br />
English as well as French, but M. Fromentin<br />
is obviously not as fluent with the Queen's<br />
wossname as he perhaps thinks he is. Things<br />
SSING AROUND<br />
To make OS-legal Intuition-like prbgrams you merely have<br />
to follow the new OS Devkit command structure. For example,<br />
to open a screen in Intuition, all you have to do is:<br />
_ser Del Body 0,D,320,128,5<br />
liende_scr Open<br />
which means open a screen which starts at 0,0 with a<br />
width of 320 and a height of 128 pixels and a colour depth<br />
of 5.<br />
To take another example, if you wanted to set the body<br />
characteristics of a gadget using GadTools, you would use<br />
the following:<br />
—geld Bel Body X,Y,V,N<br />
where X,Y is the location of the top/left corner, and W,H is<br />
the width and height To refresh the contents of a window<br />
or requester using GadTools, all you would need to do is:<br />
_st lefresi Wrid WeD,RE4<br />
where WND and REQ are the pointer of the window or<br />
requester in question. The <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide documents on the<br />
AmIGA COMPUTING<br />
MAY 196<br />
Phil South reviews the latest<br />
extension for Amos, OS Devkit<br />
for Amos Pro<br />
like 'for logical reason an 'Amos lock send<br />
AmosPro to front" and if you need V39 functions,<br />
test OS version before, this allow me to<br />
obtain faster command than AmosPro itself.<br />
Little sacrifices..." sound like me writing my<br />
column after a night out on the town.<br />
The docs are somewhat fragmented in<br />
parts, and although they are on the disk as<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>Guide documents (I hate on-disk<br />
documentation, don't you?), they will help<br />
you make sense of the procedures for<br />
making your own OS-legal <strong>Amiga</strong> programs.<br />
The installation and presentation of all the<br />
program elements could be cleaned up<br />
considerably, and this is something which<br />
will hopefully be solved now the program<br />
has a proper commercial distribution, Icons<br />
disk describe all the functions and how to use them,<br />
although it requires a lot of experimentation (or an existing<br />
knowledge of how these things work) to make things zip<br />
along quickly. If you have a passing knowledge of Intuition<br />
then this will be easy. If you've never done this kind of<br />
thing before then a read of the demonstration Amos programs<br />
and a knowledge of schoolboy French will stand you<br />
in good stead.<br />
One thing which did irk me a little bit was the fact<br />
that only one of the guide files with the command structures<br />
in had an icon, meaning that the only way to get<br />
them all working from a mouse click was to either add an<br />
icon for each file or click once on <strong>Amiga</strong>Guide, then hold<br />
down shift and click on the guide file. (You have to Show<br />
All Files in the menus before you can even see them to<br />
click on.<br />
By the way: one technical thing which cropped up during<br />
the creation of the software was a clash between the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> OS Wait function and the Amos Pro loader. Brice has<br />
mended this by adding a PROC called _RENAMEAmos<br />
which, if added at the front of an Amos Pro program, will<br />
subtly alter the names of the programs in operation and<br />
prevent an erroneous out of memory message.<br />
a<br />
for all the documentation would be a boon,<br />
as would proper install scripts which would<br />
prevent any of the problems I encountered<br />
when loading the program the first time. It<br />
killed my Amos Pro by stopping the defauk<br />
configuration from being able to load,<br />
necessitating a complete re-install of Amos<br />
Pro - something which took time and eft<br />
and which I'd have preferred not to have<br />
to do.<br />
That being said, OS Devkit is a splendid<br />
extension, but one that would definitely<br />
benefit from a better organised install<br />
procedure and properly translated<br />
documentation. Despite all that I give it an<br />
unreserved thumbs up for power, if not ease<br />
of use.<br />

us, has been working in movies<br />
for over 20 years now, as direc-<br />
0 _ tor, ohn actor Pasternak, and special so the effects blurb tells guy<br />
(although I couldn't find any reference to<br />
him in the Internet movie database).<br />
He's presenting a series of video<br />
tutorials that make a nice complement<br />
to our video special<br />
last month as they all deal<br />
with creating impressivelooking<br />
special effects<br />
using items that are freely<br />
available in any town. The<br />
first in the series is called<br />
Android and deals with a<br />
single scene reminiscent of<br />
a certain James Cameron<br />
film where the baddie has to<br />
repair his arm and eye after<br />
being in a set of scrapes.<br />
First of all you are shown the<br />
scene in its entirety, followed by a<br />
detailed description of how each effect was<br />
achieved. This starts with the retractable<br />
XActo knife with realistic spurting blood<br />
and goes on to opening the arm up for<br />
mechanical surgery. Each step is covered in<br />
very good detail, listing all the materials<br />
you will need to get to achieve the effects,<br />
and where you are most likely to get them<br />
from.<br />
MAJOR REPAIRS<br />
I found it very interesting to see the complete<br />
process involved in creating a latex<br />
mask which was used as the basis for an<br />
effect where the android pulls its eyeball<br />
out to repair it (this scene on the video<br />
was rather spoilt by the fact that you can<br />
see three hands in shot, unless of course,<br />
the android was better equipped than I<br />
thought). The process is a lot more<br />
involved than I had previously fresumed. It<br />
starts with your actor's face getting fitted<br />
for a piece of cardboard, which is then<br />
placed to fit the lace snugly. The actor is<br />
then given a breathing tube and dentists'<br />
impression gunk is spread all over. Plaster<br />
of Paris is spread over the gunk to give it<br />
added strength and once this is dry the<br />
whole shebang is removed.<br />
That's just the first step though. Next the<br />
mould of the face is filled with plaster of<br />
paris again and left to dry for a few days in<br />
a warm place. It is then turfed out of the<br />
mould and placed on a board. Next it is<br />
trimmed of any remaining flash and waxed.<br />
Once this has been done, there are a few<br />
intermediate steps to tackle, but the next<br />
big job is to get those protective gloves on<br />
and start messing with glass fibre. The end<br />
result is a mould you can pour a latex<br />
HAT'S THE<br />
rubber mix into, which, once set, will be<br />
your mask. This can then be painted using<br />
acrylic paint to make it look a bit more lifelike.<br />
Sure, it isn't any animatronic masterpiece,<br />
but it is something you can do at<br />
home without having to spend a fortune.<br />
This is the whole basis for the tutorials on<br />
these tapes and it is one that works well.<br />
You won't be making Terminator 3, but<br />
you will be able to create effects of some<br />
sophistication with relatively little effort.<br />
Finally, in addition to the main exercise of<br />
producing the scene, there are a number<br />
of general tips such as how to get rid of<br />
the overly clean and harsh look of video.<br />
One point about the video that was<br />
quite tiresome though. It may say that the<br />
"Each step is covered in<br />
very good detail, listing all<br />
the materials you will<br />
need to get to achieve the<br />
effects, and where you are<br />
most likely to get them<br />
from"<br />
CONNECTION?<br />
Well you might ask. The gimmick with this set of videos is the fact that you'll also be able to<br />
buy them on CD. No, it won't just be an Mpeg conversion of the video data, it will be a mixture<br />
of CDXL animation combined with CD quality sound and still pictures to present the<br />
same information, but in an <strong>Amiga</strong>-friendly way. The CD is planned to cost twice as much<br />
as the video, but then again, you hopefully won't have to put up with the long gaps where<br />
nothing happens.<br />

PINION<br />
As a whole, this video is a great idea<br />
especially for you budding film makers<br />
roused by our feature last month. it pro<br />
vides a very easy-to-follow, step-by-step<br />
guide to creating special effects on a very<br />
tight budget However, the editing of the<br />
tape really needs to be tightened as there<br />
are large gaps between the narrative<br />
which don't advance your understanding<br />
of the subject and are not aesthetically<br />
pleasing. Finally, this tape isn't suitable for<br />
children owing to the nature of both the<br />
type of special effects and the material]<br />
used to create them.<br />

the guided tour of<br />
NewTek's latest incarnation of their<br />
award-winning 3D design and animation<br />
system. This time it's Modeler's turn for<br />
a once over, but Ill also be exploring lightWave<br />

inspecting the opposition's approach, it's time<br />
for a close look at the straight-man in the<br />
LightWave double act<br />
Modeler is without doubt the poor relation<br />

friends. The temptation is to dive straight into<br />
Layout and set about throwing things around<br />
the screen in the vain hope that by some miracle<br />
you'll stumble across a masterpiece.<br />
Unfortunately, that just ain't the way things<br />
happen.<br />
Si MI LARM ES<br />
As you can see, the all new Modeler 4_0<br />
isn't exactly a million miles away from its predecessor.<br />
In fact, you have to look pretty close<br />
before you can spot any real changes. All the<br />
buttons and options appear in almost identical<br />
positions, but there is one very major<br />
invisible, update which many a die hard m<br />
eler hack has been dreaming of since th<br />
beginning. The update in question is the lo<br />
awaited addition of multi-level undo and t<br />
In the past you were limited to undoing 1<br />
the last edit, but now you can go way<br />
into the design history of your aeations.<br />
thanks to redo, you're also free to move<br />

In short, the benefits are immense, not le<br />

DROSS COMPATIBILITY<br />
NewTek have made a lot of noise about ensuring<br />
LightWatt wilt have a standard interface and functionality<br />
across the board, whether it be <strong>Amiga</strong>, PC SG) or<br />
whatever else. And to be fair, that's exactly what they've<br />
achieved<br />
The only real difference on an operational level is the<br />
inabikty to import and export models between Modeler<br />
and Layout As mentioned, the vast majority of PCs don't<br />
truly multitask, therefore it's not an option - even under<br />
Windows 95. This inevitably means an awful lot of<br />
saving countless revisions of the same design.<br />
Yet another simple, but nevertheless<br />
essential change is the redesign of the preview<br />
window. In the past. Modeler boasted a rather<br />
overindulgent moving solid preview option.<br />
There's no doubt it looks impressive, but in<br />
practice it simply wasted CPU time, served no<br />
practical purpose, and most importantly, soon<br />
became very irritating.<br />
PREVIEWS<br />
Fortunately, NewIek have finally done the<br />
decent thing and added a usable, static, solid<br />
preview selection to the existing options, thereby<br />
providing a much more informative range of<br />
display options. In 3.5 the selection varied<br />
• between none, static, and moving - in either<br />
mreframe or solid. Now that collection has<br />
expanded with none, wireframe, Frontlace and<br />
solid - either moving or otherwise. As you'd<br />
expect, the wireframe option works as before,<br />
showing both the internal polygon structure<br />
and the points.<br />
Next up comes the new Front<br />
iglich, - as the name suggests, shows only the<br />
external face polygons o p tof ithe o nobject<br />
However, as<br />
you can see from the screenshot it also allows<br />
you to see external surfaces within the object -<br />
that at present may be obscured from the<br />
existing viewpoint<br />
Lastly comes the static solid view which, not<br />
surprisingly, works just like Frontface, but delivers<br />
a true solid 3D image of the model, It must<br />
be said this is slightly slower to update than<br />
the others, but in my opinion this is a small<br />

and polygon se le ctions from the pre vie w window<br />
saving, quitting and reloading when making adjustments<br />
to the design and surface properties of your<br />
creations. However, given sufficient RAM, it is possible to<br />
load both Layout and Modeler, make your changes in<br />
one, save them out to disk, hop over to the other<br />
program, and load in the saved changes.<br />
On the PC plus side, it must be said that actual screen<br />
update on the PC version is superior - given a decent<br />
64-bit graphics card When compared to the irnplemen•<br />
tation of the higher resolution displays of the Picasso<br />
"Fortunately, NewTek<br />
have finally done the<br />
decent thing and added a<br />

existing options"<br />
price to pay for the added clarity a solid - and<br />
stable - true 3D preview can provide.<br />
Unfortunately for PC fans, combined<br />
moving and static display options are only<br />
available to the <strong>Amiga</strong> version. Because PCs<br />
can't multitask a window in window animated<br />
display simply isn't an option.<br />
Like their predecessor, all the display<br />
options offer the same orientation control,<br />
with wireframe still requiring a combination of<br />
the Alt key and mouse movement in order to<br />
rotate the object along any axis to generate<br />
the optimum view point<br />
The only other obvious change to Modeler<br />
is the arrival of a brand new button in the<br />
Tools department Basically, this is Modelees<br />
very own plug-ins option which awaits under<br />
the new Tools/custom button.<br />
At first glance you could easily make the<br />

favoured on the <strong>Amiga</strong> version, the PC wins hands<br />
down. However, it must be said that the Picasso update<br />
and display options in general have improved quite<br />
dramatically since the initial beta release.<br />
Aside from the resolution, the PC variant also offers a<br />
different approach to render previews. Unlike the <strong>Amiga</strong>,<br />
which uses multitasking to provide a full frame preview<br />
in either Ham, Ham8, or Picasso IL the PC opts for a<br />
small quarter-screen display within a pop-up requester<br />
in addition to a full screen alternative<br />

another incarnation of ARexx macros.<br />
However, there is a very distinct difference<br />
between the two, Basically, the Custom<br />
options are standalone programs which, just<br />
like Layout plug-ins, allow third-party develop.<br />
ers to plug dedicated modelling applications<br />
directly into the Modeler interface.<br />
At present the package only ships with five<br />
custom programs - the most notable, Powerview,<br />
provides a solid quick render of the<br />
preview display. Unfortunately, the option is<br />
limited to a one-off full frame preview which<br />
has to be closed down before you can continue<br />
modelling, although you can still rotate<br />
the preview by dragging the mouse.<br />
Although limited at present it does point<br />
the way to some interesting possibilities when<br />
it comes to automated modelling. It remains<br />
to be seen if Modeler custom programs get<br />
the same level of attention as their Layout<br />
plug-in counterparts - personally I doubt it..<br />

C APPEAL<br />
Ever since the news that Light Wove was crossing the<br />
great PC divide, many have been predicting that 'the<br />
end is nigh, and the <strong>Amiga</strong> is no more. This is predictable<br />
stuff especially with a dose inspection of dock<br />
speeds. Hover, there's more involved in 3D modelling<br />
than just raw speed.<br />
Obviously, with PC dock speeds ranging from 66MHz<br />
right up to 133MHz there's no question that they can<br />
hold their own when it comes to brute rendering speed.<br />
However, this is by no means the whole story. During<br />
head-to-head testing a 66MHz PC renders at roughly<br />
twice the speed of a 25MHz A4000, but if a 50MHz 060<br />
was added the Arniga's rendering speed quadrupled,<br />
thereby rendering roughly twice the speed of the PC - a<br />
figure which is still marginally faster than a Pentium<br />
P90.<br />
Obviously, this throws the basic PC-goes-faster<br />
equation into turmoil. Do you spend a large amount of<br />
hard earned wonga on a PC or simply upgrade your<br />
existing A4000 030 or 040 with an 060 processor? With<br />
the uncertain state of <strong>Amiga</strong> development and the outlandish<br />
hype surrounding the PC its tempting to spend<br />
the extra cash. However, life, and especially PCs, are<br />
never that straightforward.<br />
As mentioned earlier, PCs in general are by no means<br />
under-powered machines. However, even with their<br />
impressive spec, they nevertheless display some serious<br />
limitations. For example, unless the PC in question<br />
HE GREAT<br />
DIVIDE<br />
As mentioned earlier, NewTek have gone to<br />
great lengths to make LightWave on all<br />
platforms as identical as possible. There's one<br />
thing, though, that even their best efforts can't<br />
overcome. It's true that both scene files and<br />
objects will happily load on any platform.<br />
Unfortunately, that still doesn't get past the<br />
naming limitations on pre-Windows 95 PCs.<br />
As you're probably aware, PC file names can<br />
only have a maximum of eight digits, plus a<br />
three digit suffix, such as twobject.lob.<br />
Obviously, <strong>Amiga</strong>s don't suffer from suctrlimitalions<br />
and, of course, its not something that<br />
third-party developers have considered in the<br />
past. As a consequence, most third-party<br />
products which automatically generate scene<br />
files or create objects will not travel well, especially<br />
if they employ a numerical suffix to name<br />
clones - null objects being a prime eiample.<br />
The only solution is to upgrade to Windows 95<br />
or manually rename and replace all the objects<br />
which don't fit the PC naming criteria. In short, a<br />
good old fashioned pain in the backside - not<br />
impossible, but certainly not something you'd<br />
do if there was a choice, which alas there isn't<br />
The same problems apply to texture maps<br />
which your objects will call when loaded into<br />
layout, although if you can live with untidy file<br />
names, and the odd bit of re•selection, it is possible<br />
to copy files over 'as is' - at which point<br />
the PC will automatically concatenate the file<br />
names. The files will still load, but to be honest<br />
the ensuing confusion could well make reconstructing<br />
the scenes and surface attributes more<br />
hassle than simply renaming them prior to<br />
the move.<br />
boasts a large amount of RAM it will inevitably begin<br />
paging to disk as available RAM is depleted - reserving<br />
a set amount of virtual memory space on a hard disk is<br />
commonplace for memory-intensive PC applications.<br />
Unfortunately, when paging begins performance<br />
plummets across the board - mth particular sufferers<br />
being rendering times, wireframe generation and, more<br />
importantly, playback, effectively rendering it useless.<br />
Basically, PCs are appalling at memory management<br />
As a resuk once paging the activated it will continue,<br />
regardless of whether real memory has become available<br />
since the peak RAM requirement which initiated the<br />
paging. Unfortunately, the only cure is to save out and<br />
re-boot the machine.<br />
SNAIL MODE<br />
This situation doesn't only apply to Light Wave. For<br />
example, if you wanted to freeze Light Wave and pop<br />
into another package, paging could kick-in, and you're<br />
straight back in snail mode on your return to Modeller or<br />
Layout<br />
In addition, PCs do not support shared resources like<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong>. For example, a multitude of <strong>Amiga</strong> programs<br />
will happily share the same libraries, whereas each<br />
individual program on a PC will open its own duplicates<br />
of the some resources - which obviously eats yet more<br />
valuable RAM. Worse still, once opened, many external<br />
resources remain resident regardless of whether the<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
A FINAL THOUGHT<br />
Although much improved and generally more stable, it must be said that Modeler certainly hasn't<br />
had the large-scale overhaul that Layout has enjoyed. But to be fair, with the preview problems<br />
resolved arid multiple undo now active, there's little else that needs attention. NewTek are obviou- •<br />
sly taking the same approach to Modeller as they have in Layout when it comes to advanced addons<br />
to the system. Basically, the custom button does the same job as the plug-ins option in layout.<br />
As for the PC invasion, I'd say it's still very early days. With the lack of any direct third-party support,<br />
and the hardware and software limitations inherent to the PC, ifs really a case of spending an<br />
awful lot of money or none at all. With the price and performance offered by the growing band ol<br />
060s, the <strong>Amiga</strong> still looks in a strong position. The only real question is, will the PC's dominance of<br />
Plug-in development make the <strong>Amiga</strong> lose out in the long run?<br />

a sta nda rd <strong>Amiga</strong> displa y but tha t's a sma ll<br />
price to pa y for tho ma ssive incre a se in cla rity<br />
application that initiated them is still using them or even<br />
still active. Poor memory management on the PC probably<br />
accounts for the fact that the recommended set-up<br />
for any serious PC Light Wave system consists of a<br />
Pentium P90 with 32Mb of RAM. Formerly, Windows NT<br />
was the preferred OS, but with the advent of Windows<br />
95 - which like NT also supports multi-tasking - I 6Mb is<br />
just about viable as an alternative<br />
The reason for the 32Mb preference on NT machines<br />
is a system requirement of 12Mb that is needed simply<br />
to run, leaving 20Mb free, a figure which should be<br />
enough to avoid the dreaded paging problem. The<br />
question is, though, after investing in a high-end PC will<br />
the average user have sufficient funds for essentials like<br />
Photoshop 3.0 and all the other goodies that make a PC<br />
clone a viable graphics machine?! know wouldn't<br />
Basically, the underlying message is that the road to<br />
faster affordable rendering doesn't necessary lead<br />
directly to the doors of PC box shifter. Simply running<br />
cash in hand to the local PC World and grabbing the<br />
first bargain PC system on the shelf, simply on the<br />
strength of its clock speed isn't a solution.<br />
In reality, high power rendering on the PC has a high<br />
price, just like it does on any other platform. A PC more<br />
than any other machine, is quite literally the sum of its<br />
parts. If an element of the equation is missing you could<br />
easily end up with a very expensive system that simply<br />
won't do what you need.<br />

of the morning staring subliminally at the<br />
television for no apparent reason? I hope so,<br />
because then know I'm not the only one.<br />
Usually after midnight there's always a<br />
cracking horror film on - probably from either<br />
the '60s or early '80s - and no matter how<br />
bad the special effects are, or the cheesiness<br />
of the music, you will be glued to your set. It<br />
doesn't finish there either. As soon as the film<br />
ends you realise it's time for bed, and then<br />
you will undoubtedly follow this routine...<br />
you'll snuggle up in bed and then Boom! A<br />
big monster springs out of your wardrobe<br />
and goes "Boor<br />
Horror Sensation will undoubtedly scare<br />
you as we travel into the oh so frightening<br />
world of horror. To me, horror isn't ghosts,<br />
paranormal activity or the X-files of any<br />
description. Horror is just gratuitous blood<br />
and guts, and for a brief description of Horror<br />
Sensation this fits perfectly.<br />
Every horror-related <strong>Amiga</strong> file will<br />
undoubtedly be on this CD, be it sound<br />
samples, text files, images, FAC1s, games or<br />
clipart - they are all here, And by the time<br />
you've searched a few directories, especially<br />
the images, you're stomach will be retching<br />
just like after your first rollercoaster ride.<br />
will warn you now that Horror Sensation<br />
does have an 18 certificate and it is justified.<br />
The images are nothing short of sick and Seeing<br />
decapitated heads and dismembered<br />

bodies doesn't really appeal to me. I will also<br />
mention that I'm not actually referring to any<br />
scenes from films or videos - I mean REAL<br />
LIFE pictures of bodies. Not a pretty sight.<br />
There are also a host of good quality samples<br />
such as screams, blood gushing noises,<br />
splats and squelches - perfect for any home<br />
made horror films, The text documents<br />
contain strange fictional stories and it's all<br />
polished off by an excellent menu system<br />
whereby everything can be seen, heard and<br />
played from a click of a button.<br />
Please! Only buy this CD if you think you<br />
can handle these gruesome pictures. You<br />
must not even contemplate it if you are of a<br />
nervous disposition. You have been warned!<br />

the <strong>Amiga</strong>. At<br />
the most<br />
basic, all you<br />
have to do is<br />
pick four instruments to fill in each channel<br />
and play them all together. It doesn't matter<br />
if it sounds awful - label your track with the<br />
of a long line in module CDs. However, i<br />

If you've ever wanted to see the rest of the<br />
world you usually have to either commit to<br />
backpacking or work your socks off to be able<br />
to afford a six month cruise, and only then can<br />
you stop off and enjoy the delights of each<br />
country,<br />
Not any more, All you have to do is purchase<br />
thi5 CD and you can learn all about<br />
thousands of different countries. If you can sit<br />
down and take in all<br />
the information it<br />
would probably take<br />
around six months, so<br />

If you've ever wanted to learn about the<br />
world, you won't find a better package than<br />
the World Atlas. It contains information such as<br />
the population, death rates and birth rates, as<br />
wel as the economic backgrounds of each<br />

CO32, so all you console owners will happily<br />
he able to crank out some <strong>Amiga</strong> mods while<br />
you're getting ready for a Saturday night. As<br />
for Al200 and A4000 owners, I don't think<br />
you'll be going out on a Saturday night<br />
because you'll probably be too busy making<br />
your own music and messing around with the<br />
ones that already feature on it.<br />
The menu system is probably the best<br />
feature because it's so simple to use. By highlighting<br />
your selected mod and clicking a<br />
button it will load the music. There's no<br />
having to find menus, locating open buttons,<br />
and no confusing mod players. It's just a 'click<br />
and play if you like!<br />
There are also many different types of<br />
mods including jazz, soul, breakbeat, dance<br />
and many more. If you're looking for a particular<br />
style of mod you'll find it here - you can be<br />
sure of it. Apart from the D-Capo CD there<br />
aren't many decent module CDs but, thankfuly,<br />
now Maximum Mods is here we're hoping<br />

countries. Although the graphics aren't particularly<br />
outstanding, it doesn't matter because the<br />
amount of information more than makes up for<br />
it. If you are researching<br />
the world for school,<br />
college, or university<br />
projects, or just for a<br />
general hobby, you<br />
won't be disappointed<br />
with what you find_ The<br />
whole package is<br />
compatible with the<br />
AI 200, A4000 and<br />
CO32, so the interface is<br />
controlled by either the<br />
mouse or control pad,<br />
selecting from all<br />
the menus on-screen.<br />
World Atlas is a fantastic package for lazy<br />
people who can't be bothered going to the<br />
local library to pick out some books. Everything<br />
you need to know will be there right in front<br />
of you.<br />

1N-LINE LIBRARY VOL 1.<br />
1<br />
.<br />
Over that last six months, more and more people<br />
have been connected to the Information<br />
Super Highway or World Wide Web either to<br />
send electronic messages to people from<br />
around the world or to view pages of information<br />
about millions of different subject areas<br />
However, anyone who is connected will<br />
realise ifs not exactly free. firstly there is the<br />
expense of the actual computer itself, then a<br />
modem, then sometimes a connection fee,<br />
monthly charges, and finally the dreaded<br />
telephone bill.<br />
Now you can happily browse a section of<br />
the Internet without a massive telephone bill<br />
landing smugly on the doormat at the end of<br />
the month.<br />
The On-line library CD contains many different<br />
topics of information which you can view<br />
via a Web browser', and for the <strong>Amiga</strong> you will<br />
probably need AMosaic or the brand new<br />
IBrowse Now, the problem is this software.<br />
Usually, when you are first connected to the<br />
Internet, your server will automatically post<br />
you the software needed to use it, and this<br />
includes the browser. Consequently, unless<br />
Workbench Add-on is also the first in a<br />
series, but this time features hundreds of<br />
Workbench hacks to make it quicker and far<br />
more efficient.<br />
Workbench is the main user base where<br />
copying, running, viewing files has to be<br />
done. If you use your <strong>Amiga</strong> you will need to<br />
use workbench - it's a simple as that - and<br />
if you use it as much as us here at Amigo<br />
<strong>Computing</strong> then the programs on this CD are<br />
absolutely essential, especially if you're not<br />
connected to the Internet<br />
The CD is split into various directories for<br />
music, utilities, emulators and more. You will<br />
find most of them in a ready-to-run format<br />
where you can test them out without the<br />
annoying process of de-archiving them into<br />
your destination.<br />
There are programs for all <strong>Amiga</strong> users<br />
including musicians, artists, programmers<br />
and even gamesplayers. Unfortunately, not<br />
all the programs are public domain. Most of<br />
them are shareware and contain unregistered<br />
versions so if you pay for them you will<br />
receive a fully registered version.<br />
This is always worth doing if you use the<br />

glt<br />
you're already connected you will have a tough<br />
job getting your own browser as you can't really<br />
go out and buy one from the shops. It's just<br />
not as easy as that. So if you are going to invest<br />
in this CD you'll have to be<br />
connected to the Internet.<br />
The CD contains topics that<br />
don't really appeal to me<br />
such as classical music, the<br />
words to every National<br />
Anthem, the Bible in seven<br />
different languages, and sections<br />
including economy,<br />
humour, laws, maths, poetly,<br />
politics and recipes.<br />
Although all these subjects<br />
may do a good job of advertising the Internet<br />
to a certain spectre of the public, it doesn't<br />
really give you an idea of what really is on the<br />
Internet. If the CD included excerpts of the top<br />
program frequently because<br />
it lets the programmer know<br />
you use it, therefore they<br />
may possibly develop some<br />
additions or updates. Also as<br />
a bonus, some of programs<br />
on the CD have been<br />
reduced to a special price.<br />
There are many Internet<br />
utilities available as well to<br />
make your connection more<br />
efficient and help you reduce<br />
that dreaded phone bill by<br />
making the access software<br />
quicker.<br />
Inside the booklet you get with the CD<br />
there are various registration forms for<br />
products such as <strong>Amiga</strong> E, AmiWin, DFA,<br />
PowerPlayer, ShapeShifter and SuperView. All<br />
you have to do is fill in the form and send it<br />
away. You will then receive the latest version<br />
as well as the all important key file.<br />
A lot of effort has gone into this CD to<br />
make it as simple as possible and while it<br />
contains programs for the novice, there are<br />
also many advanced programs to keep any<br />
a<br />
ten sites, including the Playboy site, humo<br />
rtasteless, and sport sites and, at a pinch,<br />
daily newspaper, then that would probab<br />
give the public a realistic idea of wha<br />
they'd find<br />
I can safely say that I have never ever se<br />
anything like these documents on the Intern<br />
and this is probably because I never look<br />
anything like it. The Internet is all about<br />
own choice and you are given the chance<br />
search anything you are interested in, be<br />
naked women or your local football team.<br />
CD defeats the entire object of the Intern<br />
and restricts what you can see.<br />
If you haven't got access to the Internet,<br />
On-line Library will present a nice posit<br />
angle on the content of the Internet. To sum<br />
up - its one to show your mother.<br />

ACK TO (WORKBENCH) 96<br />
In Ben Vost's article Workbench 967' he takes a very<br />
detailed look at what the <strong>Amiga</strong> of the future should<br />
provide. As a loyal user, I found this to be a fascinating<br />
article, creating a virtual chain of what the next <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
should be, link by link. But I did notice some links left<br />
unaddressed, most of them involving the future of the<br />
hardware.<br />
To start off, I thought the idea of putting Kickstart onto<br />
a flash ROM was an excellent one. Modular VGA-type<br />
graphics boards also made sense_ Just about every idea<br />
was well thought Out and should be seen in future<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>s. Specifically, providing sound for all users was a<br />
great idea, but one that needs pushing further.<br />
The <strong>Amiga</strong> cannot move into the future having su<br />
graphics - but continuing to allow 8-bit sound to be a weak<br />
link. perb The modular idea for graphics cards should also<br />
apply to sound cards.<br />
Another hardware issue is the lack of standardisation.<br />
The Al 200's all-in-one design makes it restrictive to<br />
certain types of expansion, such as.graphics or sound<br />
cards. Keeping the physical design the same for all<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>s will save third-party developers having to produce<br />
several versions of the same product to be compatible<br />
with the different designs.<br />
Also standard on future <strong>Amiga</strong>s must be storage<br />
devices. High density floppy drives, large hard drives and<br />
CD-ROMs are all a must. It is almost impossible to buy a<br />
new computer (an IBM clone, at least) without a<br />
CD-ROM drive and a massive hard drive. This would free<br />
software developers to create their products without<br />
concerning themselves with fitting all the information on<br />
low density floppies. In turn, this would reduce the<br />
disk-swapping involved in things like installation or<br />
loading.<br />
Being a student at the University of Cincinnati (a major<br />
engineering university), I witness the immense use of the<br />
Internet and the World Wide Web_ Not only are they<br />
entertaining, they are also very effective forms of communication.<br />
For example, my calculus professor posts our<br />
class syllabus on his home page (I bet that's riveting -<br />
ed.). With my <strong>Amiga</strong> as it is now, it is a rather complex<br />
process of program installations to be able to access this<br />
information. In the future, Telnetting and Web browsing<br />
functions should be integrated into the Workbench and,<br />
in addition, each <strong>Amiga</strong> sold should have an internal<br />
14.4k modem firming up the communications links of the<br />
chain.<br />
The PowerPC processor will he just one of the many<br />
strong links in the chain of the <strong>Amiga</strong>, but in order to<br />
maintain an edge over the upcoming Intel P6, the PPC<br />
must be integrated into all the new <strong>Amiga</strong>s to provide a<br />
consistent base of blazing speed.<br />
These changes in the aspects of the <strong>Amiga</strong> are i<br />
mportant ones that I feel are crucial to the survival of the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>. When compared with another computer the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> must stand out to the average Joe and make him<br />
see that they are getting more computer for their money.<br />
If the <strong>Amiga</strong> is to be successful, it must provide a<br />
strong base for both veteran and novice users, and with<br />
these ideas, I see it doing just that.<br />
Jeff Rampe, Brecksville, Ohio USA<br />
It's funny how many different things people want from<br />
their <strong>Amiga</strong>s, and I wonder what exactly we will see<br />
from the next generation of Arnim. Anyway, over to<br />
Ben for his comment on your letter._<br />
Putting all the <strong>Amiga</strong>s in boxes with Zorro slots, what<br />
a great idea and one that AT seem to be taking up. The<br />
new Al 200+ that everyone has been talking about will<br />
be just that a box with a separate keyboard with two<br />
'Iwo slots in it, opening up the world of RIG graphics<br />
cards to everyone. As for the sound side of things, the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> still isn't doing too badly. The sound from an<br />

<strong>Amiga</strong> still ranks quite highly considering the technol•<br />
ogy it is based upon is many, many years old.<br />
But, sure, it would be nice to see an improvement<br />
there too and making the whole thing modular on a<br />
plug-in replacement basis is undoubtedly the best wa?"<br />
forward.<br />
The only thing I'm worried about is all these extra<br />
things people want to put in the base machine. Hoar<br />
much are you all willing to pay for an <strong>Amiga</strong>? Adding<br />
CD-ROM drives, modems, networking and 'massive'<br />
hard drives all costs additional cash. I believe every<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> in the world should have a hard drive, at<br />
standard but I would rather see the <strong>Amiga</strong> continue as<br />
a cheap, but good quality, hobbyist's machine, rather<br />
than ramping the cost up to or beyond PC or Mac<br />
levels.<br />
UDGET WORR<br />
I'm a bit worried about all this upgrading business.<br />
years ago I got an A500 for Christmas which cost ne<br />
E500. It was state-of-the-art then, with thousands<br />
good games. Being only nine-years old I couldn't afford<br />
many games, and the only real expansion I bought was<br />
a 5I2k upgrade for E34 which let me play some of<br />
newer games. Great. Only E550 for a great comput<br />
which played all the games.<br />
Today, E400 buys you a five-year old computer which<br />
requires extra hardware to play some of the new<br />
games. Okay, so not many games need an accelerator<br />
yet, but if people start upgrading for games, programmers<br />
will start programming for these machines, perhaps<br />
needing 3 or 4 megs, etc. The whole <strong>Amiga</strong> mar<br />
ket will lose its appeal as a home computer - imagine<br />
buying an <strong>Amiga</strong> which was out of date when you<br />
bought it! Pushing the price up by over E200 on top of<br />
A.
ART<br />
Ben Vost's article on improving the <strong>Amiga</strong> was interesting,<br />
but I disagree with him on where the efforts need to be<br />
mostly concentrated. Firstly, we must not turn the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
into 'just another Macintosh or PC', I don't use the Arniga<br />
because it's almost a PC or Mac. I use it because it has<br />
unique qualities that the PC and Mac will never have in a<br />
Mi(M1 years. In any case, only those qualities which will<br />
benefit the <strong>Amiga</strong> directly should be considered. Here's<br />
what I feel should be concentrated on for both current<br />
and future <strong>Amiga</strong>s:<br />
I. High density 1.76Mb floppy drives should become<br />
standard on every <strong>Amiga</strong> including the Al200.<br />
L All new <strong>Amiga</strong>s should have the following video<br />
outputs:<br />
.The standard <strong>Amiga</strong> video out for genlocks and<br />
15kHz monitors<br />
a A composite video out for connection to a W or VCR<br />
that is intelligent enough to display a blank screen<br />
when a non-NTSC/PAL display mode is selected,<br />
instead of just displaying a weird mess.<br />
▪ A hardware flicker fixer port that can connect directly<br />
to a VGA monitor which can display 15kHz modes on a<br />
VGA monitor and pass through higher rated modes<br />
untouched,<br />
3. The new base Al200 should come with a 68030<br />
at 50MHz and 4Mb of FastRAM as the new low-end<br />
standard.<br />
&Implement a new graphic chipset that can display hundreds<br />
of graphics sprites even on a VGA monitor, and<br />
offers chunky as well as planar access for all screen<br />
modes_ Also, add 3D algorithms, smooth VGA scrolling<br />
and full 24-bit color for screenmodes up to 640x480 in<br />
the hardware. A 16.7 million color 320 x 200 fast chunky<br />
pixel mode with sprites would make for truly impressive<br />
games!<br />
5. A full chipset upgrade should be made available as a<br />
simple motherboard swap for any <strong>Amiga</strong>, for upgrading<br />
the A500, 600, 1200, 1500, 2000, 3000 or 4000 to the<br />
new chipset Motherboard swaps are quite popular with<br />
the PC crowd these days, and for good reason. Imagine<br />
simply popping Out the motherboard in your old A500<br />
and Roping in a new motherboard with AGA+ graphics,<br />
an IDE hard drive interface, a 68030-50 and 4Mb of<br />
FastRAM as standard!<br />
6. Ditching the <strong>Amiga</strong> chipset is a bad idea. Instead bury<br />
It in the machine somewhere so it's always available on<br />
any <strong>Amiga</strong>, although another graphics chipset/card can<br />
be used in its place.<br />
lir<br />
41111111111111111"<br />
,<br />
an already high price. The <strong>Amiga</strong> is turning into a PC<br />
and if AT do bring out an Al200+ that has an '030 the<br />
Al200 will need to be upgraded to be usable. I agree<br />
that expanding your <strong>Amiga</strong> will make it quicker and<br />
greater overall, but if it starts a trend then we will all<br />
have to spend more money upgrading, trying to keep<br />
up with the new standards. This will make the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
look more expensive, less like a home computer and<br />
more like a PC.<br />
Zenon Olenski, Tim perley<br />
I think you've got your dates a little wrong there.<br />
Zenon. The <strong>Amiga</strong> 500 was state of the art way back<br />
when in 1988. not 1990, and cost MO until about<br />
the middle of that year. But at that time, a half meg<br />
expansion would have set you back around f 110, not<br />
134. But as for what you say about upgrading your<br />
7. All future <strong>Amiga</strong>s should come with a built-in LAN<br />
connector.<br />
8. Improve the serial connector with a much larger buffer<br />
space and consider changing it to a nine-pin connector to<br />
conserve space.<br />
9. Implement a stereo FM chip and a stereo 16-bit DAC<br />
into the <strong>Amiga</strong> as well as a microphone connector with<br />
an ADC and a line in with an audio mixer.<br />
10. Add a SCSI-2 connector as standard but ignore the<br />
requests to ditch the IDE interface, Keep that for cheap<br />
hard drives and CD-ROM devices.<br />
11. I agree that adding in a built-in speaker would be a<br />
good idea but why not have built-in stereo speakers with<br />
a volume control on all new <strong>Amiga</strong>s? Just make sure that<br />
plugging in external speakers automatically deactivates<br />
them. This might entail a switch to a mini phono plug for<br />
audio out, a software-controllable switch, or an actual<br />
hardware switch on the back of the machine.<br />
12. Also, a MAO better have some sort of built-in RTG<br />
capabilities just like Ben said.<br />
Let's hope <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies hear our requests and<br />
really revives the <strong>Amiga</strong> like it deserves to be. I can't wait<br />
to get my hands on a PowerPC upgrade for my <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
1200. The future of the <strong>Amiga</strong> finally shines again.<br />
Terry Miller, Bartlesville, Oklahoma USA<br />
*sigh Back to Ben again...<br />
Right let's go through your points one at a time._<br />
1. Agreed, and already stated.<br />
2. Agreed, particularly with respect to the screen<br />
blanking for inappropriate modes.<br />
3_ How much do you want to pay for this machine<br />
exadly?<br />
4. I do believe that there has to be a change in the way<br />
the custom chipset is programmed so that it can deal<br />
with chunky pixel programming at resolutions where<br />
planar is inefficient ie. anything over 64 colours in low<br />
resolutions and over 32 colours in high resolutions,<br />
But I'll refer you back to my answer for 3 when<br />
you start talking about 24-bit screenmodes at any<br />
resolution...<br />
5. The reason motherboard upgrades are popular with<br />
the PC crowd is because they are cheap, standard and<br />
easy to frt. I don't know if you've ever tried removing a<br />
motherboard from an A500, an A1500 or an A3000T<br />
like I have, but I can tell you it's no picnic. Besides<br />
ur<br />
machine, I would have to say you are talking tosh.<br />
The computer industry moves faster than a cheetah<br />
with diarrhoea, and it won't stop just because you<br />
don't want to spend any money. <strong>Computing</strong> is like<br />
any other hobby, it costs money to keep it going.<br />
And don't you want any games that push the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
to the full?<br />
Aren't you one of those people who want Doom<br />
or Duke Nukem on your machine? Well, they won't<br />
run unless your <strong>Amiga</strong> is fast enough and has<br />
enough memory.<br />
The fact of the matter is that the <strong>Amiga</strong> is only a<br />
cheap machine initially, thereafter it is just like<br />
any other computer. The major benefit is that you<br />
don't have to lash out all the cash at once, but<br />
please don't expect to get the best from a base<br />
level machine,<br />
AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
M A Y 1996<br />
.11.1111MIM<br />
which, having to make new motherboards for all thew<br />
machines will drive the cost up higher than that of<br />
supplying a completely fresh machine. If AT standardise<br />
their case style as the previous reader's letter<br />
suggested, then, perhaps, a motherboard upgrade can<br />
be offered in the future<br />
6. See 3.<br />
7. See 3, but in principle I agree. Adding the software<br />
to allow for networking is more important in my<br />
opinion. People can always use the serial port for<br />
a SLIP connection, they don't need a dedicated<br />
ethernet port<br />
8, Agreed. Speeding it up would be a good move too.<br />
9. Hang on, I thought FM sound was worse than the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>'s, <strong>Is</strong>n't FM synthesis the sort of thing they do on<br />
really cheap PC sound cards and consoles which is<br />
only a waveform generator? As for the rest, see 3.<br />
10. See 3. IDE devices aren't that much cheaper<br />
than SCSI so the saving for the end user wouldn't<br />
compensate for the lack of standards.<br />
11. How much room do you believe will be available<br />
for shielded speakers in these new <strong>Amiga</strong>s? I think<br />
supplying one speaker gives people enough sound to<br />
be going on with. The A3000T automatically switches<br />
the internal speaker off if there is something connected<br />
to the audio connectors on the back of the<br />
machine, so you don't need a switch.<br />
11 It had better have an awful lot more than just RTG<br />
compatibility.<br />
E' ACKLASH<br />
And so it starts; the somewhat<br />
unfortunate but perhaps wholly<br />
predictable backlash against<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies, I suppose<br />
.<br />
1during<br />
the dreadful <strong>Commodore</strong> years<br />
that we cannot " control our in-built and painful cynicism<br />
about the gurus w (no pun intended) who are now<br />
responsible for<br />
e<br />
the welfare of our chosen machine.<br />
It is, of course, w all too easy to hunch over our computer<br />
and complain<br />
e<br />
bitterly about the mistreatment<br />
being dealt Out<br />
r<br />
by AT, but could I beg everyone to<br />
stand back, take a deep breath and for God's sake<br />
CHILL OUT! It ain't e that bad.<br />
People were<br />
a<br />
discontent that the <strong>Amiga</strong> had not been<br />
on sale for over l a year; there was concern that the new<br />
buyer would just l pinch the technology and be damned<br />
with the home l computer market; an upgrade was<br />
needed urgently; e dirt cheap prices were required; the<br />
future path of the d technology was in some doubt.<br />
I think it's fair s to say that <strong>Commodore</strong> were at fault<br />
over the sale uof<br />
the company. Typically, they were<br />
unable to organise c their own funeral effectively because<br />
they were too h busy trying to screw the biggest buck out<br />
of some poor a sucker. There's no doubt that the UK<br />
management buyout m was the most favourable option<br />
from a user's perspective e - better the devil you know<br />
and all that - rso<br />
when Escom pipped it at the last<br />
moment the trepidation<br />
r<br />
was palpable.<br />
And yet, Escom/AT have shown a remarkable<br />
y<br />
commitment to the technology which has certainly<br />
d<br />
surprised me. Let us put ourselves in AT's shoes. Having<br />
a<br />
just spent in excess of 510 million on a product that<br />
everyone thought<br />
n<br />
was dead, what were they to do? AT<br />
owned the <strong>Amiga</strong>, c but at the time it comprised a few<br />
bits and bobs eof<br />
hardware scattered around the globe<br />
with no guarantee that AT could get their hands on any<br />
4<br />
its<br />

Lu<br />

of it anyway. So, with a logical - indeed, necessary -<br />
eye on the Christmas market, AT resolved to put the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>s back in the shops in time for the Yuletide<br />
celebrations. They were therefore starting from scratch<br />
and, lo and behold, they did it. Even then, grumblings<br />
were afoot about pricing, but given that production was<br />
ramped up so fast I think we should count our<br />
blessings, particularly as the blow was softened by an<br />
excellent software bundle.<br />
If the term cock-up can be levelled at AT, so far there<br />
are really only two areas that spring to mind: incompatible<br />
floppy disk drives and Scala MM300. The first is forgivable<br />
as incompatibility arises only with certain games<br />
and AT have made moves to sort out problem<br />
machines - the onus is now on AT to ensure that fixes<br />
are made quickly and efficiently (that is, after all, what<br />
the promotion of customer satisfaction is all about).<br />
The second is a bit more thorny. There is no doubt<br />
that Scala MM300 is a magnificent piece of software<br />
and the option to bundle it couldn't be ignored, but AT<br />
really should have foreseen the lack of memory problem<br />
with a standard Al200 and made it clear from the<br />
outset that the program won't run in 2Mb of memory.<br />
This is most definitely a customer service cock-up<br />
worthy of <strong>Commodore</strong>, but even so, I don't believe it is<br />
insurmountable_<br />
Readers may remember that Scala H1/1100 (the<br />
bottom of the range version, for the uninitiated) was<br />
given away on a coverdisk some time ago. I have used<br />
it on my Al200 ever since as it represents one of the<br />
most intuitive and user-friendly programs I have ever<br />
seen. Okay, so it doesn't exactly stretch the AGA chipset<br />
- in fact it doesn't use it at all - but it does emphasise<br />
that the <strong>Amiga</strong> is the most friendly tool for this kind of<br />
work. Most people who see my home videos gasp in<br />
wonder at the professionalism of the titling, even<br />
though I only choose from four fonts and work in a<br />
maximum of 32 colours. If, therefore, Scala WI and<br />
MM300 were both bundled with Al 200s then users<br />
could get an immediate glimpse of the capabilities of<br />
the machine. An exhortation to upgrade could also be<br />
included - It you think this is great, get an extra 2Mb<br />
and let MM300 really change your life' - you know the<br />
sort of thing.<br />
Maybe I'm just being naive, or maybe I've just owned<br />
my machine too long, but I genuinely believe that the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> has a strong future, both as a games machine<br />
(where the main user base still is) and as a home<br />
productivity tool that is second to none for ease of use<br />
and flexibility. So let's stop whining; instead let's enjoy<br />
and be proud of what we've got and let us look forward<br />
positively. Just wait for the Power<strong>Amiga</strong>, it's gonna be<br />
a killer.<br />
Jamie Winter, Waterloo wile<br />
Finally, one I get to respond to. Your well-reasoned<br />
argument has persuaded me to let you have the E50<br />
prize for this month, not something I give lightly. I<br />
think you are completely correct in your view of how<br />
AT are doing. When you think that they have gone<br />
from nothing to producing <strong>Amiga</strong>s inside a year,<br />
that's a pretty impressive feat in its own right.<br />
But you are also correct in pinpointing the two<br />
major failures. The Scala situation is pretty unforgivable<br />
since I know that Paul Austin and Ben Vost<br />
brought up the problem of memory and hard drive<br />
space when Escom held their press conference in<br />
May last year.<br />
Originally. Scala was to be bundled with all<br />
machines. Perhaps AT should install HVII00 as standard<br />
on all hard drive equipped Al200s, but leave<br />
MM300 for A4000T owners who would be able to<br />
make use of it immediately_<br />
A MICA COMPUTING FIRST AGAIN<br />
His headline, not ours<br />
I often buy a copy of <strong>Amiga</strong> <strong>Computing</strong> and more often<br />
it seems you are first with news articles. I think the<br />
other magazines try too hard to be first on the shelves<br />
and then get a month behind with news and articles.<br />
Several times I have read interesting items in AC before<br />
the earlier released other magazines. When my<br />
subscription to another magazine runs out soon I will<br />
be subscribing to AC instead.<br />
As a keen <strong>Amiga</strong> using astronomer I have been<br />
interested to find more details about a program I heard<br />
about on the World Astronomy Fidonet echo called<br />
Digital Universe. Looking at all the astronomy magazines,<br />
one would be forgiven for thinking that the<br />
subject was only catered for by the PC, so a new and<br />
apparently killer serious application for the <strong>Amiga</strong> is of<br />
particular interest to me.<br />
The <strong>Amiga</strong> has a great range of software but the<br />
amount of scientific software is very limited and a<br />
program like this can do much to improve the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
(rightful) image as a serious machine.<br />
Another magazine with the initials AF had a sort of<br />
astronomy article in their Christmas issue and a half<br />
promise of a Digital Universe review in the January<br />
issue, which never materialised. I was delighted to see<br />
a copy of AC in my newsagent which had the first<br />
review I have yet seen. The review was good and highlighted<br />
some of the improvements which could be<br />
made to the program such as better image quality and<br />
support for graphics cards (although the latter won't<br />
affect me).<br />
There were a couple of factual errors such as the<br />
Cassini mission going to Jupiter instead of Saturn and<br />
the odd mention of parallax in relation to Copernican<br />
theory. By the way, the heliocentric idea was<br />
first thought of by Aristarcus of Samos - an ancient<br />
Greek<br />
I have already sent off to Canada for more info on<br />
Digital Universe but was glad to see an independent<br />
review beforehand. The review does not state whether<br />
I feel I must congratulate your art department for its<br />
mandellously inventive use of a pint of Guinness (spelt<br />
with two 'n's incidentally) to indicate that AC97<br />
contained an article on Irish <strong>Amiga</strong> users.<br />
But why stop at the pint o' porter? Ireland has a<br />
wealth of stereotypical cultural images to choose from.<br />
realise that it may have been hard to get a decent<br />
render of a leprechaun, but surely a few shamrocks<br />
liberally doused around the front cover wouldn't have<br />
been that difficult, begorrah!<br />
Otherwise, thanks for a well-balanced and informative<br />
magazine, now thankfully devoid of those irrelevant<br />
little electronic symbols. However, I still feel that the<br />
next time I write an article on the British <strong>Amiga</strong> scene I<br />
would be honour-bound to include a piccie of a football<br />
yob with his Union Jack-waist-coated bulldog attacking<br />
a roast beef and yorkshire pudding-eating, bowlerhatted,<br />
gentleman outside Big Ben as is so often the<br />
scene in your capital city, n'est-ce pas?<br />

To be sure, you're right so you are. lwas a terrible<br />
thing to do, but our art editor is a desperate man, so<br />
he is, so I hope you'll be forgiving us. What a Kerry<br />

were trying to get would have been the DigitalWinter<br />

UK pounds was very useful_ It is a pity DU comes on I<br />
disks and there is not a CD version as yet. The r<br />
Distant Suns and upgrade First Light will be availab<br />
for the <strong>Amiga</strong> on CD according to the distributo<br />

Despite praising AC, I do have one gripe. News an<br />
articles are good and usually first. However, there is<br />
glaring (and quite insulting to an astronomer) error o<br />
the contents page. There is no way that Digital Unive<br />
is an ASTROLOGY program. Astrology is fortune telli<br />
superstition which has absolutely nothing to do<br />

u<br />
I don't know why we don't just rename this colurnm<br />
'Ben Vost replies' for all the words I am getting im<br />
edgeways...<br />
I believe, Mr Eaves, that if you are still getting the<br />
aforementioned magazine, you will find the review<br />
you looked for of Digital Universe in the Mardi<br />
issue. I have been talking to Dan Charrois. the<br />
programmer of Digital Universe (that he created the<br />
whole program and documentation on his own is a<br />
testament to his perseverance and worthy of an<br />
award of some sort in its own right), and he tells me<br />
that much of what I suggested will be implemented<br />
in the next version of DU, including more colourful<br />
images and a CD-ROM delivery system. As far as I<br />
am aware, DU is still only available directly front<br />
him, but he does reply very swiftly so it will probably<br />
only take you a little longer to receive your copy<br />
than if you had ordered it in the UK.<br />
As for the errors in the review, mea culpa, I got it<br />
wrong. But the astrology/astronomy cock-up on the<br />
contents page can be put down to a philistine who<br />
neither knows nor cares about the difference in the<br />
two subjects. "It's all to do with stars isn't itr was<br />

EGINNER BASICS<br />
ease help Out an <strong>Amiga</strong> beginner<br />
with Workbench. Some of these<br />
questions are probably stupid but I<br />
have worked through the manual,<br />
plus two Bruce Smith books, without<br />
finding the answers and I'm getting desperate.<br />
I have a plain Al200 with an external<br />
drive and a Cannon BS 10sx, and I have no<br />
hard drive.<br />
1. I am customising my WB 3 disk, and<br />
although I can drag the goodies in from the<br />
Extras disk, I am unsure of the destination<br />
drawer. For instance, I have put the Init<br />
Printer in Preis and double-click it every time<br />
I boot the machine. There must be a way to<br />
run 'nit Printer automatically on boot up?<br />
Also, where should the other items in the<br />
Tools drawer be placed on the WB3 disk - is<br />
there some rule that I have missed?<br />
2. My printer setup works on readme and<br />
doc files, but every so often I get a 'Cannot<br />
open your tool much more'.<br />
3. What are these libraries and where do<br />
they live on the WB3 disk? I have seen that<br />
PD libraries offer disks containing extra<br />
libraries - do I need them?<br />
4. When I access the Tools menu the only<br />
item is WB Setup. Where are the user-startup<br />
and startup-sequence that I am supposed to<br />
use?<br />
5. Why do I get 'checksum error on block<br />
1703' when I try to copy my working copy of<br />
WB3? All my blank disks cannot be faulty,<br />
perhaps this is a protection problem?<br />
6. New programs seems to need more than<br />
2Mb. How much do you recommend I add<br />
to keep ahead of the trend?<br />
Dorerie Cox, Essex<br />
1. I hope you are using copies of<br />
, your original Workbench disks<br />
because if you destroy one of<br />
them it is a real nuisance try-<br />
I<br />
' ing to get hold of replacement<br />
\ copies. When coping programs<br />
across . to your Workbench disk it does not<br />
matter . where you place them. It is gener-<br />
ally expected that you would put them in<br />
either the Tools or Utility drawer, and if it<br />
gets to the stage where you have quite a<br />
few programs cluttering these drawers you<br />
might want to consider creating further<br />
sub-directories and move the appropriate<br />
programs into these.<br />
If you want a program to run automatically<br />
from Workbench 2 you can drag it<br />
into the WBStartup draw. Each time<br />
Workbench starts all the programs in this<br />
drawer are executed, saving you the trouble<br />
of having to run them all yourself.<br />
There are a couple of things I would query<br />
about what you are doing. Firstly I do not<br />
think it is necessary to run the !nit Printer<br />
program because when you turn on your<br />
machine or your machine resets it sends<br />
the same message to your printer.<br />
The other thing I must say is why copy<br />
these programs off the other Workbench<br />
disks? You have a second drive so why not<br />
just insert the disks in there and run them<br />
off their original disks?<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
MAY 1996<br />
Helping you to sleep easier at night,<br />
ACAS will soothe all your troubles away<br />
2. Either I am the one getting a little<br />
confused or you are confusing the things<br />
you are doing. Normally you only get the<br />
'cannot open your tool blardy War' when<br />
you double-click on a filers icon that is not<br />
setup correctly for your computer. This has<br />
nothing to do with how your printer is<br />
setup, and is to do with how Workbench<br />
tries to run programs and the tools<br />
specified by icons.<br />
In the case of MuchMore, this is a tool<br />
used to read text files, If you click on the<br />
icon and select Information from the<br />
Workbench menu, you pop up the icon<br />
information requester. In the default tool<br />
gadget there will be the text MuchMore. If<br />
you edit this to just read More or<br />
MultiView and press save, when you double-click<br />
the icon you will be able to view<br />
the file using the program More.<br />
This sort of thing is a constant pain for<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> users. Because there are so many<br />
different text readers around you invariably<br />
end up with the 'cannot open your<br />
tool blardy blar' requester. There are a<br />
couple of ways around this. You can either<br />
use a tool alias program that allows you to<br />
substitute programs such as MuchMore for<br />
another program you have, or you can use<br />
Toolmanger - it was part of our beginne<br />
coverdisks on our January issue - whi<br />
allows you to place an Applcon on t<br />
Workbench that you can drop files into.<br />
you do this with Multiview you will<br />
able to view text, sound, graphics a<br />
even animation files of any Datatype<br />
have installed.<br />
3. Another source of constant probl<br />
for beginners and experienced users a<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s libraries. In fact, the <strong>Amiga</strong>'s<br />
entire operating system, called Kickstart<br />
is made up of shared run time libraries<br />
which contain program routines that<br />
allow programmers to open windows,<br />
screens and do other jiggery puckery. They<br />
are called shared because many programs<br />
can use them at once, and they are rut<br />
time as they are only loaded into memo<br />
when necessary.<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> libraries can exist both on yo<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>'s ROM and on disks, and allow n<br />
or updated libraries to be added at a lateri<br />
date. Normally, as in the case of your<br />
Workbench disk, they are stored in th<br />
Libs drawer on the root of yo<br />
Workbench disk.<br />
You can find this by selecting Show all<br />
files from the Workbench window menu.<br />
Generally if you get a program that needs<br />
extra libraries other than the standard<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> libraries, they will be supplied with<br />
the program archive or on the same disk.<br />
The only exceptions to this are the MUI<br />
libraries as they are too big.<br />
In day to day use the only really vital<br />
third-party library that you should have is<br />
called ReoTools. This has been around for<br />
a long time and as such is used by a fair<br />
few programs, but again it is fairly small -<br />
about 40k - and is normally supplied with<br />
any program that uses it.<br />
4. I take it you are talking about the<br />
Workbench tools menu, in which case<br />
there is only meant to be the one entry.<br />
There are programs Out there that allow<br />
you to add your own programs to the<br />
tools menu - Toolmanager being one but,
unfortunately, as standard there is no way<br />
to add things to this menu in Workbench<br />
- another over sight by <strong>Commodore</strong>.<br />
The startup-sequence and user-startup<br />
scripts are found in the S directory hidden<br />
on your Workbench disk. You should not<br />
change you startup-sequence and do not<br />
have to touch the user-startup except to<br />
remove entries. To modify these files you<br />
need to run a text editor, and the simplest<br />
way is to open a shell and type Ed s:userstartup.<br />
This will then load the standard<br />
text editor with the user-startup file.<br />
S.! would think this means you have an<br />
error on your WB3 disk and not the disks<br />
you are copying to. If you are going to be<br />
constantly copying to one disk then it is<br />
inevitable you will get some sort of disk<br />
error. The only way to fix this is to get<br />
hold of a file recovery program. One of the<br />
best is Disksalv - version 2 is shareware<br />
and is available from any decent PD house<br />
- or the more up-to-date version 3 is a<br />
commercial product but does provide<br />
more comprehensive tools.<br />
Another disk tool worth getting hold of<br />
is Rear. As you are constantly copying,<br />
deleting and moving files on your disks,<br />
the free room on the disk gets split up<br />
Into small sections and can make disk<br />
access very slow. Reorg reorganises your<br />
disks so all your programs are stored in<br />
the most efficient manner.<br />
6. Not only should you consider the<br />
amount of RAM you have, but also storage<br />
space and processor speed.<br />
The most commonly used programs<br />
such as Wordworth and Final Writer now<br />
need several megabytes of space along<br />
with the normal Workbench files, libraries<br />
and devices. This all adds to you needing<br />
a lair bit of storage space, the only real<br />
answer being a hard drive.<br />
When it comes to RAM. you can never<br />
really have enough. You do not actually<br />
say what you plan to use your <strong>Amiga</strong> for,<br />
but if it is for word processing then adding<br />
another 2Mb will be enough. The thing is,<br />
accelerators are so cheap nowadays that<br />
it is worth considering getting one instead<br />
of a plain RAM board, and as most appli-.<br />
cations are aimed at the base Al200, any<br />
speed increase is always very noticeable.<br />
D CONCERNS<br />
I have recently decided to join the CD-ROM<br />
revolution and would like a few questions<br />
answered.<br />
The unit I am considering is the Power<br />
<strong>Computing</strong> quad-speed CD-ROM, if I can afford<br />
it. I currently have an Al200 with a 120Mb hard drive,<br />
4Mb Amitek Hawk FastRAM expansion with no FPI! and<br />
two external floppy drives. I would like to know if the<br />
drive will work with this setup and if the later addition<br />
of a 33MHz FPU would have any effect on the system.<br />
Additionally, I also have access to an A15043 running<br />
Kickstart 3.1.<br />
This machine has a GVP HC8 hard drive/RAM board<br />
with an external SCSI connector. Would it be possible to<br />
use the CD drive with this machine if a suitable cable<br />
could be obtained.<br />
Mark Henderson, West Midlands<br />
ELUCTANT RENO<br />
Following your review of the Reno CD drive I rushed to<br />
purchase one. Having eventually connected the CD-<br />
ROM drive to my Al200, after some problems receiving<br />
the correct gender changer, I placed the installation<br />
disc in DEO, only for the icon to appear as<br />
DFO:???. On closer reading of the directions I see that<br />
one has to be running Windows in order to operate<br />
the CD-ROM drive.<br />
I was under the impression that Workbench, as<br />
the operating system of the <strong>Amiga</strong>, made having<br />
Windows unnecessary. Do I now have to purchase<br />
Windows or is there a way of operating<br />
the CD-ROM drive from Workbench?<br />
Indeed, is Windows compatible with the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> 1200? If it is necessary to have<br />
Windows, I would have thought that<br />
you would have made thi5 clear in<br />
your article.<br />
M Fleming, Surrey<br />
You seem to<br />
have got your<br />
wires crossed<br />
a little<br />
here. To solve<br />
your main problem<br />
you need to get hold<br />
of, but should have<br />
received with the<br />
Reno drive, the AmiC0-<br />
Handler software. This is<br />
because unless you have<br />
Workbench 3.1 you do not automatically<br />
have the software that will make your <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
recognise the CD drive. This software provides the file<br />
syste m tha t will a llow your <strong>Amiga</strong> 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<br />
connected via a SCSI interface.<br />
Once you have got hold of the AmiCDHandler software<br />
you need to install it. This is much easier than it may sound because you install the software using a standard<br />
installer script. All you have to know is the name of your SCSI device - if you are using a Squirrel this is squirrelscsidevice<br />
- and the SCSI Id number of the Reno drive - this can be set on the Reno drive itself. Once this is done<br />
you can run the device driver and the wonderful world of CD awaits you.<br />
I think I should clear up a little confusion you are having about Windows. I would guess the disk that came with<br />
the Reno drive was a HD PC disk that the Al200 cannot read which is why the DRI:???? icon appears. Windows is<br />
the operating system written by Microsoft, and it comes in a number of flavours - the most commonly used being<br />
Windows 95 for PC IBM compatible computers - and you are right in thinking Workbench makes needing<br />
Windows unnecessary, and also that Windows is unavailable for the <strong>Amiga</strong>. If Windows 95 was available for the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> you would need an Al200 with 16Mb RAM, an 040 processor and a 1/2 Gb hard drive, and even then it<br />
would not do anything more than Workbench already does.<br />
As far as I know the Amitek board will<br />
work fine with 4Mb of RAM, in as<br />
much as any of the RAM expansions<br />
work fine, as long as only 4mb of RAM<br />
is used. Normally, if plain RAM expansions,<br />
not accelerators, have more than 4Mb the PC<br />
slot is made redundant as the RAM expansion uses<br />
the same address space as the PC slot, so the<br />
processor cannot access the PC slot.<br />
This does not effect accelerator boards as they use<br />
their own address space which allows them to<br />
access much more memory than a standard Al200 -<br />
up to 128Mb.<br />
Adding a FPU should also have no effect on the CD<br />
drive, but you do not need such a fast FPI/ because<br />
using a 13MHz chip on a standard Al200 will only<br />
give you a slight speed increase over using a 20 or<br />

4Mhz version. Data is still supplied and taken from<br />
the WU at 14MHz so a faster FPU is standing idle<br />
much of the time.<br />
To get the CD to work with the GVP interface you<br />
will not only need the correct connection but also<br />
the correct software, If the machine has the full<br />
Workbench 3.1 software then there is a CO DOS driver<br />
supplied with it. To adjust this for use with the<br />
GVP board you need to drag it from the storage<br />
drawer over to the Devs DOS drivers drawer. Pop up<br />
the information requester and change the Unit entry<br />
to the SCSI ID of the CD drive, and change the device<br />
driver name to that of the GVP device drive - this will<br />
probably be something like gvpscsialevice. Once<br />
everything is connected up you can double-click the<br />
DOS driver icon and the CD drive should be<br />
available.<br />

SAMPLE<br />
I have a stock Al200 and am look-<br />
) ing to buy a I6-bit sound sampler<br />
that has high quality recording with<br />
a minimum of hiss. I would be willing<br />
to upgrade the Al 200's processor<br />
and RAM if the sampler requited it, any<br />
suggestions?<br />

are only<br />
o<br />

The<br />
u<br />
n<br />
best solution currently available for<br />
the Al200 w is the Aura sampler made by<br />
t<br />
HiSoft. aThis<br />
gives your Al200 the ability to<br />

the software<br />
et<br />
that comes with it lets you<br />
manipulate re<br />

get an w8<br />

with. o-<br />
You ubsay<br />
you have a plain Al200, but if<br />
you are l i going to be playing around with<br />
I2/16-bit d t samples a hard drive is going to<br />
be essential, bs<br />
and extra memory would be a<br />
great e help a as both these are going to allow<br />
you to nm<br />
sample at higher rates and longer<br />
lengths o of time. If you do not know, the<br />
p<br />
higher p the sample rate in kHz the better<br />
l<br />
the quality, r but the more memory space<br />
they consume.<br />
i<br />
o<br />
Having n a hard drive will also allow you<br />
b<br />
to sample g direct to disk, so essentially let-<br />
-<br />
ting you sample very long periods of<br />
sound.<br />
When doing this the speed of your<br />
processor and hard drive will dictate the<br />
top quality you can sample.<br />

I have an Al 200 with a 120Mb hard drive and two simple questions. When do you think t<br />
PowerPC boards will be available for the Al200 in the United States and what will they c<br />
in cold, hard US dollars? I will appreciate as much information as you can give me on HI<br />
subject<br />
Secondly, talking of money, can you list the price of things in American dollars as well<br />
UK pounds, or heti<br />
yet why not print<br />
UK vs USA curren<br />
equivalency table as<br />
matter of course<br />
every issue?<br />
Something like th<br />
sure would help u<br />
on this side of th<br />
pond.<br />
Christopher Mohr,<br />
Coliform<br />
The original release<br />
from Phase 5 states<br />
that PowerPC boards<br />
will be available mid<br />
1996.<br />
These will be<br />
available in a num-<br />
ber of configurations,<br />
initially from<br />
Slow-end' 100MHz<br />
MCP603e up to<br />
150MHz MCP604<br />
boards. There are<br />
also plans to develop<br />
high-end systems<br />
that will be packing<br />
300MHz MCP620<br />
and will include 64bit<br />
wide memory<br />
and bus systems,<br />
with an optional PG<br />
bridge. The initial<br />
price range is from DM1000 up to DM2000, which translates roughly to E450-E900<br />
367541350. Obviously, things are still at an early stage and the final specifications and<br />
pricing could, and probably will, change.<br />
Along with the board I would expect you will get PowerPC software support. As a<br />
PowerPC processor will be able to run Emulated 680x0 code faster than your Al200,<br />
some sort of emulator will come with it. Along with this you will also get CyberGmphy 3<br />
which is going to give the <strong>Amiga</strong> proper RTC support along with a set of new 3D libraries.<br />
Personally, I cannot see why we could not print the prices in US dollars, but I will have<br />
to see what our production staff have to say.<br />

It might not seem to be the most interesting<br />
subject on which to base a CanDo presentation<br />
but, in actual fact, How To Tie Dye is a<br />
readable, informative and absorbing disk.<br />
More and more tie-dyed clothes are in<br />
evidence these days, and if you fancy having<br />
a crack at producing your own, this is an<br />
ideal place to stall.<br />
The main menu offers information on how<br />
to get started, the various techniques which<br />
can be employed to produce different<br />
colourful effects, and the decisions you'll<br />
need to make along the way. As well as<br />
simple text (overlaid, of course, on suitably<br />
garish backdrops) there are black-and-white<br />
digitised pictures and diagrams, some of<br />
which can be clicked on to bring up more<br />
facts and advice. How To Tie Dye so<br />

Scarcely a month goes by without at least<br />
one updated version of a golden oldie<br />
tumbling gently through the Public Sector<br />
postbox. This time, it's the turn of that<br />
arcade gem Defender to make a welcome<br />
reappearance.<br />
Just in case you've never encountered<br />
Defender (admittedly a rather unlikely<br />
scenario), the aim is to protect a planet<br />
from alien invaders who seek to steal precious<br />
canisters of, erm, something or<br />
other. Basically, the idea is to shoot the<br />
beasties into lots of tiny pieces.<br />
Yes, high speed blasting action is the<br />
order of the day, and it's as tough and<br />
unforgiving as can be. Simply hurtling<br />
through each level blasting frantically<br />
won't get you very far, although you'll<br />
have to take extra care when carefully<br />
combing the planetscape because Phantom doesn't feature the scanner that many such games<br />
do. Decent enough graphics and some nice atmospheric music are the icing on the cake.<br />
Phantom's a worthy purchase, although since it's shareware you really should send the author a<br />
fiver as a registration fee.<br />

This is another interesting collection of utilities.<br />
First up, AddPovver, is yet another do-it-all<br />
commodity. Many of the features found in<br />
MultiCX, MCP, YAK and all the others are here<br />
too, as well as some novel ideas like automatic<br />
centedng of workbench windows and minor<br />
menu enhancements. It also manages Assigns,<br />
CLI Aliases, and so on. It's all nicely done,<br />
although to be honest you'll only ever need<br />
one of these programs and I'm personally<br />
still an MCP fan. If the author Ian Einman<br />
continues to develop AddPower, though, that<br />
situation could change.<br />

d . ng one or more files onto the Associate<br />
Applcon will create icons based on the file<br />
type, so, for instance, all picture files could<br />
have the same icon and all sound samples<br />
another. If the program can't recognise a file<br />
type, a requester pops up and asks you to<br />
select an icon.<br />
Then there's Autostart, which acts effectively<br />
like a more powerful version of Workbench<br />
3.0's WBStartup drawer, Workbench tools,<br />
shel commands and scripts, and ARexx scripts<br />
can all be started. It's also slightly more versatile<br />
than WBStartup because pressing the<br />

mouse button allows you to skip the loading of<br />
certain programs. With a pleasant interface and<br />
some excellent documentation, Autostad is<br />
definitely worth a look.<br />
Surveymem is - hurrah! - another memory<br />
monitor program. Still, it's a very good one<br />
which runs as a commodity, has a highly configurable<br />
display, and can be popped onto the<br />
frontmost public screen at any time. It also has<br />
a groovy graphical memory display.<br />
TrashIcon dumps a trash can on the<br />
Workbench screen, and all files dragged onto<br />
this Applcon are deleted. It also rather usefully<br />
updates the Workbench window so you can<br />
see what's been wiped.<br />
Of course, nothing's perfect: there's a nicely<br />
presented screenblanker, Multiblank, which<br />
includes all the usual screen savers (staifields,<br />
flying toasters, etc), but seems worryingly<br />
unstable for a terminate and stay resident<br />
program.<br />
And there is also Colors, which might be<br />
marvellous but I haven't the foggiest what it<br />
does because the documentation was totally<br />
garbled and the program crashed my system.<br />
But apart from these two slight disappointments,<br />
this is an excellent collection of<br />

An <strong>Amiga</strong> Club International compilation disk consisting of carefully<br />
selected Lha archives and their accompanying ReadMe files, this disk<br />
attempts to provide a handy workbench utility for everyone.<br />
There's lconlmage and Iconinstaller which, unsurprisingly, allow<br />
you to do fancy things with icons. Both have nice drag and drop<br />
interfaces and are capable of changing icon images without altering<br />
the tooltypes, amongst other handy features. MUI-Join is a file splitting<br />
and rejoining program making use of Stefan Stuntz's Magic User<br />
Interface_ RAMicon allows you to install a nice icon for the RAM Disk,<br />
instead of the dull standard floppy disk icon. ReKeylt allows you to<br />
redefine the keyboard shortcuts for Workbench menu functions.<br />
XToolbox creates a little window containing pull-down menus<br />
which can include all sorts of programs - a little like Toolmanager,<br />
plus a rather attractive 3D interface but minus a friendly configuration<br />
program and the more fancy features. Still, it remains probably the<br />
most useful archive on the disk.<br />
As ever, there are a couple of little workbench memory monitor<br />
programs - useful to programmers, but surely there are enough of<br />
these around by now. There are also OS 3,0 datatypes for Windows<br />
Icons, and Macpaint, PCX and .BMP picture files, as well as a processor<br />
preferences program, and some odd inclusions such as the<br />
occasional Swedish or Italian catalog file. Varied then, but scarcely<br />
indispensable.<br />

AUNTED BY YOU<br />
The latest version of the wonderful Master Control Program, complete<br />
with numerous bug fixes and little enhancements, is now available.<br />
There are separate 68000 and 68020 versions of the all-singing,<br />
all-dancing commodity and an the updated preferences program uses<br />
MI, giving it an attractive interface which makes configuring MCP to<br />

A variation on another classic game of yesteryear, namely Breakout. Here,<br />
instead of using a ball to demolish a wall, you use clowns hopping on a<br />
seesaw to pop passing balloons.<br />
The game is controlled by mouse and there is a definite knack to making<br />
the flying clown land at just the right point on the seesaw to launch the other<br />
clown as high as possible into the air.<br />
There are also bonus objects which appear when certain balloons are burst<br />
and can be collected to give your clowns special abilities. These include<br />
Umbrellas which earn you an extra life and lots of points, Diddy Balloons<br />
which allow you to control the flying clown's position with the mouse, and<br />
Wings, with which the flying clown can gain extra height.<br />
There's a second game on the disk called Drip, by a bloke called Art Skiles,<br />
which bears something of a similarity to Pacman. The objective is to travel<br />
around a screenful of pipes, rusting the pipes as you go. Along the way,<br />
various enemies will be in pursuit, ranging from ice cubes to electric coils. If<br />
they get too close, you can 'drip' yourself down the screen to another pipe.<br />
With 15 levek to negotiate (none of them very easy), Drip presents a longterm<br />
challenge. It's been knocking around the Public Domain for some time<br />
but as one of two simple but addictive games on this disk, it should provide<br />
plenty of entertainment.<br />
LTI MATUM<br />
Classy presentation, atmospheric music, and<br />
some flashy introduction screens set the scene<br />
beautifully for this futuristic 3D shoot-'em-up.<br />
The year is 2030 and crime levels are at an<br />
all-time high. A new breed of criminals, the<br />
Transgressors, increasingly control every aspect<br />
of city life. The law enforcement agencies have<br />
poured all their resources into ending the violence<br />
but until now, they've struggled to contain<br />
it. Now they've come up with a new<br />
weapon in the fight against crime: the<br />
Vindicators.<br />
you play one such Vindicator, Rick Murphy,<br />
whose family has just been wiped out in a<br />
cunning strike by the Transgressors. In an effort<br />
to gain revenge you have challenged the<br />
Transgressor gang members to a series of oneon-one<br />
tank duels in special combat arenas.<br />
Ultimatum is an enjoyable blaster, with<br />
plenty to challenge even hardened garners. Its<br />
not perfect; there's some irritating disk swapping<br />
during loading, although thankfully the<br />
game is hard drive installable, and whilst the<br />
graphics are colourful, they are functional<br />
rather than spectacular. The frame rate isn't<br />
stunningly impressive either which can, at<br />
times, make keeping track of your enemy's<br />
position rather awkward. Still, 3D games frequently<br />
suffer graphically due to their complexity,<br />
and since Ultimatum was written in AMOS<br />
3D, a lot of these problems aren't really the<br />
author's fault. Besides, the most important<br />
aspect of any game is the playability and in<br />
that respect Ultimatum fares well, making it<br />
definitely worth a look. It requires at least an<br />
Al 200 to run, and is shareware, with the registration<br />
fee being fifteen Australian or ten US<br />
dollars.<br />

Cl The ra the r ta sty M tn inte rfa ce of the<br />
highly informa tive Scout<br />
Scout allows you to monitor what's going<br />
inside your <strong>Amiga</strong>. It can display lists of tas<br />
resident commands, assigns, ports and<br />
on. You can also mess around quite a b<br />
freezing tasks or removing interrupts f<br />
instance.<br />
The program uses MUI and it's extrem<br />
user-friendly el as a result. All the information<br />
displayed in neat little windows and oper<br />
tions can be performed at the click of a b<br />
ton. However, if you're not an MUI fan, vi<br />
ttul ally all of Scout's features can be accessed<br />
via the shell.<br />
Scout also has an ARexx port with an<br />
impressive range of commands supported b<br />
the program. Apparently, its even possible to<br />
use Scout as a TCP/IP service through<br />
AmiTCP v4.0 so that your machine is avail.<br />
able to other machines in a network.<br />
Whilst the information Scout can provide<br />
you with isn't necessarily going to be incredi.<br />
bly exciting, it should be extremely useful to<br />
programmers, and control freaks will appre<br />
ciate the numerous options available.
EPSI ALL OVER THE WORLD<br />
In a bizarre Promoware move equalled only<br />
by a rather tragic McDonalds tie-in that's<br />
been doing the rounds, Pepsi Cola now<br />
features in an <strong>Amiga</strong> PD game.<br />
Pepsi All Over The World 5<br />

that it's worth a look.<br />
w o r d ,<br />
I might be missing something here<br />
because my command of German is not<br />
what it used to be, but the game seems to<br />
consist of five little subgames set in different<br />
countries dotted around the world. In a<br />
stunning example of racial stereotyping,<br />
each place has its own wacky activity.<br />
In Ireland your task is to collect fish as<br />
they swim downstream. In Egypt you must<br />
guide a robed chappy across a river in<br />
classic frogger style to a Pepsi Can machine<br />
on the far bank, and in Alaska (not a country<br />
in fact, but these you go...) you must<br />
help catch oil dripping from burst pipelines.<br />
Quite what any of these weird gamelets<br />
have to do with Pepsi Cola is something of<br />
a mystery, although the intro screens are<br />
plastered with logos and curious caffeine<br />
lovers can at least find out how Pepsi is<br />
written in Japanese.<br />
The graphics are alright, I suppose, but<br />
that doesn't after the fact that what we have<br />
here are five simplistic and hopelessly inadequate<br />

°SWELL DEMO AGA II<br />
Aliens have been visiting our planet for<br />
years. It's true — for years the American government<br />
have kept hidden numerous close<br />
encounters of the third kind. In fact, they<br />
may even have conducted top secret discussions<br />
with alien races. If we're to believe<br />
certain people, that is.<br />
The problem with believing such conspiracy<br />
theories is that they all seem so far<br />
fetched, and they are extremely hard to<br />
prove. It must be said that the footage of<br />
the Roswell incident, which has received<br />
much publicity recently and featured in a<br />
Channel Four programme last year, has not<br />
helped things at all.<br />
Now widely regarded as not being the<br />
work of some imaginative con artist, the<br />
famous scenes of short, pot-bellied<br />
humanoids being studied by curious men in<br />
lab coats are laughed at by many. If you've<br />
never seen any of the film, or you're just<br />
keen to get your hands on your very own<br />
twenty seconds of fuzzy black and white<br />
computerised footage, then it might be<br />

A real problem with the Internet is the amount of<br />
jargon it throws up. So before you even think of<br />
installing AmiTCP there are a number of very important<br />
terms you need to understand that will relate to<br />
some very important pieces of information you will<br />
have, or should get, from you Internet provider.<br />
The best way to explain is to take a look at what<br />
the Amigo <strong>Computing</strong> account looks like. If you<br />
want to e-mail us our main e-mait address <strong>Is</strong><br />

using AmiTCP. From everything I have heard<br />
and the number of letters we get through<br />
the post, there are many people Out there<br />
having a lot of problems installing and using<br />
AmiTCP. So I have decided to take my life in<br />
my hands and install AmiTCP from scratch,<br />
in the possibly vain hope that someone else<br />
might gain some help from seeing what I<br />
did to get it up and running.<br />
Before you can install AmiTCP for your<br />
Internet provider you will need to use a<br />
standard comms package to dial up your<br />
account so you can logon and enter<br />
your password. To do this you will<br />
need a program such as Term or<br />
Ncomm.<br />

Usually this will be the same as your default server's<br />

Name servers are the machines that will redirect<br />
your Internet net traffic to the correct destination.<br />
Having named servers allows you to use the 'named'<br />

IALER<br />
The first bid( tact/ I ran straight into when I<br />
first installed AmiTCP was that there is no pro.<br />
sided way to actually dial up your Internet<br />
provider. Typically, when you first use ArniTCP<br />
you have to use a comms package such as<br />
Term or NComm to log onto your account,<br />
and then start AmiTCP. The problem here is<br />
that you then normally have to quit the<br />
comms package, and unless you have set up<br />
your modem not to drop the carrier it will<br />
immediately link down - not vely helpful.<br />
To get around this you either how to use<br />
one of the many ARea dialler scripts - a little<br />
overwhelming to set up for my liking - or on<br />
this month's coverdisk there is a tiny tool<br />
called Dialer. This consists of the dialerdevice<br />
which should be copied into your DEVS drawer,<br />
and a text file called dialeraconfig that<br />
needs to be edited to suit your own needs.<br />

LINSTALLING AMITCP<br />
This is where the fun begins. If you understand what<br />
the various parts of your host name are and you have<br />
your computer and your Internet provider's IP address,<br />
actually installing AmiTCP should riot be a problem.<br />
With all this information at hand, double-click the<br />
AmiTCP installer icon and away you go. I am assuming<br />
you are a home user connecting over your phone line<br />
using a modem with the normal <strong>Amiga</strong> serial port to<br />
your Internet provider.<br />
For comparison the <strong>Amiga</strong> <strong>Computing</strong> details are as<br />
follows:<br />
user name<br />
node name<br />
domain name<br />
host name<br />
IP address<br />
Demon IP address<br />
You need to create an AmiTCP drawer, usually on the<br />
root of you Work directory, where all the AmiTCP files<br />
can live<br />
update the Sono Il devices<br />
install the new fonts, if you wont<br />
edit<br />

158.152.1.65<br />
enter your user name - acomp<br />
login name, anything you wont acomp<br />
This is where things start to become a<br />
little more trickier. The Internet started<br />
off being run on Unix machines, and<br />
the vast number of Internet providers<br />
use Unix machines which are very<br />
powerful and configurable but are<br />
incredibly complex. Unfortunately, a<br />
lot of the software for the <strong>Amiga</strong> has<br />
simply been ported over from Unix<br />
machines which means you have to<br />
create a lot of the files and directories<br />
found on Unix machines before you<br />
can use these programs.<br />
To receive mail you need to install<br />
a 5MTPd service to AmiTCP. This<br />
stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol and was initially used lor transferring files from<br />
Unix box to another remote one. It is, however, perfect for mail and news purposes.<br />
People just using the standard AmiTCP installer need to add a few things to mak<br />
using mail and newsgroup programs much simpler. Firstly, you need to create a num<br />
of new directories in your AmiTCP drawer. Create a drawer called usr and in this dra<br />
create four more drawers called mail, news, libs and spool. These will be used to stoN<br />
related files. Next you need to edit the Stadnet script found in the AmiTCP:Bin drawer. It<br />
this you need to add the following lines, but you could, alternatively, add them to youl<br />
user-startup:<br />
select root directory, why not the AmiTCP drawer<br />
click proceed on shell<br />
EMON USERS<br />
Demon is one of the largest Internet<br />
providers in the UK and provide support, if<br />
limited, for <strong>Amiga</strong> users. This comes in two<br />
forms -when you first join they give you a<br />
single install disk that will set up <strong>Amiga</strong>NOS<br />
so you can FTP, e-mail and use newsgroups.<br />
Unfortunately, as <strong>Amiga</strong>NOS is not supported<br />
by anyone else you are stuck with these original<br />
programs and you really do need to<br />
upgrade to AmiTCP. Unofficially, Demon<br />
proceed post user and group id numbers<br />
enter proper name, anything you want - <strong>Amiga</strong><br />

provide an AmiTCP installer that gives yo(<br />
major advantages over the original AmiTa<br />
installer. Even though the installer is aims<br />
specifically for Demon users, I would advisi<br />
anyone who is on the Internet, or is strut<br />
gling to get AmiTCP to work properly but can<br />
ftp, to get this installer.<br />
You need to ITP to ftp.demon.cauk an<br />
go into the ipubiamigaiinstaller/tcp direct.<br />
ory and get the AmiTCP4_DIS95_v3.11ti<br />
enter default gateway IP address - for us demon<br />
158.152.1,65<br />
skip netmosk - not necessary<br />
select slip device<br />
(if you have copied the dialeudevice select this from th<br />
list, otherwise select the serial device)<br />
pick unit 0<br />
choose modem speed - for a fast machine this is up<br />
57600, otherwise use 19200 or 38400. If you ha<br />
problems when connecting you may have to reduce t<br />
amount.<br />
choose Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) - your Intemt<br />
provider should tell you this otherwise stick with t<br />
default value of 1006<br />
select hardware handshaking<br />
double check slip configuration<br />
now you would normally re-enter default gateway<br />
address then enter the IP address of any other nam<br />

Next you need to get hold of the AmiTCPsmtpd.lha file from Aminet. Once you<br />
have unpacked it, copy the rMail into the AmiTCP bin drawer, and copy the file<br />
insmtpd to the serv drawer. You now need to add this line anywhere in the<br />
AmiTCP:db/inetd.cont file.<br />
s•to s t r e a m t c m noirait root •mitcp:serviin.smtod<br />
(main gait name)<br />
(your Node name)<br />
(your Oast name)<br />
(your Most ease)<br />
(you Ocaain name)<br />
(your name)<br />
(your alit server)<br />
This will then allow AmiTCP to access this new service, so allowing you to receive<br />
new e-mails that will then be placed in the correct mail box in the uumail: directory.<br />
You then need to create a file called canfig in the AmiTCP:usr/lib drawer. You<br />
archive. For Demon users the installation will<br />
set everything up perfectly so you will be<br />
able to use e-mail and newsgroups along<br />
with all the other normal services.<br />
Non-Demon users will have to alter a<br />
number of files to make sure everything is<br />
set up correctly. Unfortunately, there is not<br />
enough room to specify exactly what you<br />
have to change, but you should use a<br />
text editor to check the entries in the<br />
Now, theoretically, if you open a shell and type<br />
Startnet, AmiTCP will startup, dial your Internet<br />
provider, and you should then be on-line. If you have<br />
made any mistakes during installation this is where<br />
they will show up.<br />
If the dial script fails to connect you to the Internet<br />
provider then check it is dialling the correct number.<br />
If it is connecting and then failing, check you have<br />
entered the correct baud rate for your modem - it<br />
could be too fast - or perhaps you have entered the<br />
wrong login name or password.<br />
If you manage to successfully connect to your<br />
Internet provider, the only main reason for things not<br />
working at this stage is that you may have entered<br />
the wrong OP address of either your own machine,<br />
the default server address, or possibly of the<br />
other named servers. You should carefully check the<br />
Aminet:bin/Startnet file, and also the Aminet:<br />
db/resolv.conf file.<br />
The easiest way to check if everything is working<br />
correctly is to use the Ping and Finger commands.<br />
These allow you to find out a number of things. Ping<br />
is used to show you how fast a connection you have<br />
1<br />
1<br />
following files:<br />
"<br />
ArniTCP:binistartnet - sets up lots of important<br />
variable<br />
AmiTCP:bin/link change mail server<br />
address, remove the db/linkmacro line, 1do<br />
this anyway<br />
ArniTCP:db/resolv.cont - change name server<br />
IP address to your own<br />
AmiTCP:ustflibiconfig change default and<br />
"<br />
1<br />
to another site, while if you Finger another person<br />
you can find out more about them - 'Just like in real<br />
life, You Ping sites and Finger users, so you could trying<br />
pinging src.dac.ic.ac.uk and fingering<br />
wizards@dackccuk to see if 1you are connected -<br />
no response is a bad sign.<br />
Once everything is up and running the first thing<br />
you want to do is get yourself a decent FTP client<br />
program. The shell based one 1that comes with<br />
AmiTCP is called ncftp and is very good as far as any<br />
shell program can be, but if you have a GUI you<br />
want to use GUI programs.<br />
Currently, in my opinion, the 1best FIP program is<br />
ArriFTP, and to get this you will need to ftp to one of<br />
the Aminet sites. For UK users, src.cloc.ic.ac.uk is the<br />
best site to go for, and US users should try ftp.netnetnet.<br />
To ftp open a shell type the following:<br />
"<br />
ridtp<br />
open -a sec.doc.ic.ac.uk<br />
cd amineticommitcm<br />
1<br />
get AmETP153.tha ram:AmFIP,the<br />
get AmINCID,tha<br />
If you do not have MUI, you will find it on this<br />
month's coverdisk, and you will need to get this as<br />
well;<br />
should, 0of course, replace the entries with your own relevant data.<br />
UserName<br />
RealName<br />
NodeName<br />
HostName<br />
DomainName<br />
1Organization<br />
Timelone<br />
1DefaultNode<br />
NNIPServer<br />
RMall<br />
'Once these files have been setup you will be able to receive e-mails and news<br />
from newsgroups. You should be able to use most mail programs straight off as<br />
many use these directories and variables as standard. Metatool would be a good<br />
starting choice.<br />
The big advantage for Demon users, or if you decide to use the Demon installer, is<br />
1<br />
that all these files are already set up for you, therefore saving you an awful lot of<br />
time. Also, the installer program is far more straightforward and uses plain English to<br />
describe what information you are meant to enter next. All in all it took me two<br />
days to get AmiTCP up and running, after which I could safely use AmFTP, AmIR<br />
C 1and iBrowse. It then took a further day to work out why Newsgroups were not<br />
working.<br />

Currently, the part of the Internet that has<br />
the highest profile is the World Wide Web.<br />
As it is the most recent addition to the<br />
Internet it has taken advantage of faster<br />
network connections and more powerful<br />
computers by having a much more media<br />
rich environment allowing Web pages to<br />
be splattered with graphics and text.<br />
Introduced back in 1990 by CERN scientists<br />
who wanted a better way to share<br />
information between themselves, the number<br />
of Web sites out there has exploded,<br />
with now literally millions and millions of<br />
pages covering every aspect of human<br />
behaviour for you to look at<br />
The Web works by using a special language<br />
that is used to 'describe' how a<br />
Web page should look. Your Web browser<br />
reads this description and does its best to<br />
produce the page. This language is called<br />
HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language.<br />
When this was first invented by the people<br />
at CERN it was very basic, allowing simple<br />
textual links between pages and basic<br />
positioning of images on these pages.<br />
HTML is now in its third revision, with<br />
many of the new commands being introduced<br />
by the now very rich NetScope people.<br />
More recent versions of the language<br />
allow better text and graphic formatting,<br />
and all manner of gadgets can be added<br />
to pages allowing users to interact with<br />
A<br />
EB SURFING<br />
MIGA SITES<br />
UMW<br />
Web pages. The latest version of HTML<br />
allows complex tables to be defined, giving<br />
Web designers even greater flexibility in how<br />
their pages should appear. The latest addition<br />
to HTML are frames which allow you to<br />
add mini Web pages that act like menus to<br />
the main Web page display, giving the user<br />
short cuts to the various parts of your Web<br />
site. Unfortunately, no <strong>Amiga</strong> Web browser<br />
supports frames but they are not too far<br />
behind.<br />
Currently available for <strong>Amiga</strong> Web browsing<br />
is AMosaic and the much superior<br />
iBrowse. Both are available via anonymous<br />
FTP from ftp.omnipresence.com in the<br />
pub/amigo directory. !Browse is planned to<br />
be a commercial browser and only demo<br />
versions of it are available for you to use -<br />
these will normally stop working after 30<br />
days of use. This will then leave you with<br />
only AMosaic to play with, which is a great<br />
deal slower and is not as stable in use.<br />
LOOKING GOOD<br />
Things are looking up on the <strong>Amiga</strong> Web<br />
browser side of things as, currently, I know of<br />
10 projects. Along with AMosaic iBrowse and<br />
Mind Walker all of which are MUI-based<br />
browsers, there is AWeb, Hyperion, Juggler,<br />
Step 4, Web Link, ALynx and P'Jami. The last<br />
is the most interesting of the lot as it is<br />
actually port of a larger project involved with<br />

The biggest problem with the Web is<br />
ing to find pages that are of interest to<br />
This is where search engines come in wh<br />
are sites where catalogues of almost e<br />
Web site are held. Through forms you con<br />
search for keywords, such as <strong>Amiga</strong>. After<br />
short wait the search engine will create<br />
set of new Web pages with lists of relevant<br />
or not so relevar,t links. Genera* you h<br />
to find a link to someone's home page th<br />
is dedicated to whatever subject you were<br />
looking for.<br />
One of the best general interest sites<br />
Yahoo which gathers and maintains a la<br />
collection of the most recent and up-to-d<br />
sites, organised into relevant sections. So<br />
you want to find a site about the come<br />
show Friends you go to the<br />
Entertainment/TV section. From there you<br />
can either search the entire TV section or go<br />
through the shows, comedies, friends links<br />
and you will find a very large list of Friends<br />
links, many of which seem to sport lots of<br />
Courteney Cox pictures.<br />
The Web is a great place to find out off<br />
sorts of information, and as the contents of<br />
the World Wide Web is just a reflection of<br />
the type of people who place home pages<br />
on it you are bound to find something of<br />
interest<br />

The quickest way of getting hold of files on the Internet is through FTP which stands for File<br />
Transfer Protocol and allows you to access remote computers as if they were a drive on your<br />
own computer using what is known as a FTP<br />
When you connect to HP sites most of them will require that you login - normally you will<br />
be doing what is known as anonymously T h i s requires that you login with the name<br />
'anonymous' - and if you forget how to spell anonymous many places will also accept ftp -<br />
then for your password you enter your e-mail address. Luckily, many of the new FP clients<br />
can do this logging on process for you automatically which makes linking up to a FP site<br />
that much faster - ArnFTP and ncftp included.<br />
It is more than likely that the first FIP program you use is a Shell-based one that comes<br />
with AmiTCP, called ndtp. As far as Shell ftp programs go it is very good, but you will quickly<br />
want to get hold of a GUI-based program. Currently, ArriFTP is probably the best available<br />
one for the <strong>Amiga</strong>, but you will need MUI to use it. A good none MUI alternative is GUI-FTP<br />
which uses normal <strong>Amiga</strong> gadgets.<br />
One of the major uses of an FTP client for the <strong>Amiga</strong> user is to access Aminet sites. Aminet<br />
was set up a good number of years ago, being run on an A3000, and was quickly transferred<br />
to a University site. The main site is now run from Wuarchive in America, and holds a<br />
ridiculously large amount of <strong>Amiga</strong>-related tools, utilities, pictures, modules, reviews and<br />
magazines. Current Internet goers may have noticed recently that Wuarchive has actually not<br />
being working properly because they had a major hard drive crash and lost a lot of files.<br />
However, Aminet is now up and running correctly.<br />

IRC is a very buoyant part at the Internet because it allows people to<br />
talk to each other 'live', as it were, no matter where they are. As with<br />
FTP, to use IRC you need an IRC client, and from this you link to your<br />
particular IRC server. Once on you can choose to join one of the<br />
thousands of different chat groups that are known as channels.<br />
Before you can get on IRC you have to give yourself a unique nickname<br />
that everyone on the channel can refer to you by. It does nut<br />
particularly matter what it is, but if you join a channel regularly you will<br />
start to recognise other regular users through their own nick names.<br />
All the chat channels on IRC start with if and the standard <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
channel is, surprise surprise, #<strong>Amiga</strong>. All IRC commands start with / so<br />
to join the <strong>Amiga</strong> channel you type /join *Amigo. Once you have<br />
joined, if you want to say anything just type away and every time you<br />
hit return everyone can read what you have just said.<br />
On IRC you are not just restricted to plain old public chat, you can<br />
talk direct to other IRCers either using the /msg cornmand,<br />
or can even use DCC chat if you want a more secure direct link.<br />
It is also possible to send files between people using DCC send, but if<br />
the recipient is on the other side of the world do not expect the<br />
transfer to be too speedy.<br />
A constant pain for IRCers are net splits, and when one happens<br />
certain users seem to 'disappear' from the current channel. Depending<br />
where you are in relation to the net split, only a couple of people may<br />
be lost from the channel or virtually everyone can appear to go. Net<br />
splits are just a side effect of how the Internet is put together and<br />
some days can be worse than others - you just have to put up with<br />
them. AmIRC is good because it can tell you which people have been<br />
lost to a net split, so if you were talking to someone at least you know<br />
why they have just left.<br />
There is little IRC etiquette needed, but generally it is more a matter<br />
of common sense, like not going onto the <strong>Amiga</strong> channel and continuously<br />
saying how great PCs are and how rubbish <strong>Amiga</strong>s are because<br />
you will simply get kicked off by one of the rhannel opt Channel ops<br />
are users with more privileges than normal which allows them to kick<br />
people off the current channel and even put a j.ermanent ban on<br />
them.<br />
Another use for IRC is that you can create new channels whenever<br />
you like by joining a non-existent channel. This allows specially organised<br />
conferences to be arranged, or you could just create one to have<br />
a private chat with someone else.<br />

SoftWood camp. Not to be out<br />
done by Digita, SoftWood have<br />
0 he lite' phenomenon has hit the<br />
seen in to release a cut-down version<br />
of their top selling page publisher, Final<br />
Writer 4. The <strong>Amiga</strong> has always been sold as a<br />
complete low-cost computer system, and as<br />
such there are many people who have<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>s but do not have the funds to expand<br />
the machine past the basic specification.<br />
Due to the competition between Final<br />
Writer and Wordworth, both programs have<br />
seen many new features added, so the<br />
resources needed to run them has grown<br />
along with the programs. This has reached<br />
the point where a basic Al200 is not enough,<br />
so a cut-down version of the original program<br />
is a superb idea because owners of unexpanded<br />
Al 200s can still use these excellent<br />
programs.<br />
IMPORTANT FEATURES<br />
Final Writer lire is basically the same as the<br />
original program, but with the most important<br />
features remaining. This is not as bad as it<br />
may sound because virtually all the original<br />
features make it into the lite version intact.<br />
You get all the recent changes to Final Writer<br />
A's interface, including the addition of the<br />
click tabs that allowed all the menus to be<br />
reorganised into a much clearer order, with all<br />
the preference options being moved into their<br />
own specific requesters. The click tabs are<br />
atso used in the main window to allow you to<br />
quickly jump between different pages<br />
and document sections, making document<br />
navigation much quicker.<br />
The omissions that have been made<br />
are kept to a minimum. The first two, and<br />
probably the ones you would expect,are the<br />
grammar checker and all the AReu functions.<br />
Leaving out the grammar checker is not much<br />
of a surprise as it is very large - over a<br />
megabyte - and the ARexx port is probably<br />
used by only a small percentage of users, so<br />
no great loss there.<br />
Type and spell has gone, even though the<br />
normal Collins dictionary and thesaurus<br />
remain untouched. It is also impossible now<br />
to import EPS images. The postscript library<br />
used to handle the EPS images was large, and<br />
displaying EPS images is quite processor<br />
intensive so this is understandable, If you<br />
have EPS images this is quite a disadvantage<br />
as there are not too many programs that will<br />
alow you to convert an EPS to an IF image,<br />
which is the only format Final Writer will<br />
import . •<br />
One thing you do lose that is not part of<br />
the program as such is all the extra fonts and<br />

have his vital parts<br />
removed, Neil Mohr<br />

and place in your documents. The loss of the<br />
group function also means that if you import<br />
a Final Writer document that has grouped<br />
objects, the lite version will simply treat it as a<br />
single graphic object, so you will be unable to<br />
modify this except for being able to resize it.<br />
For the money you are paying, Final Writer<br />
lite is superb value. The features that have<br />
been removed are not essential - practically<br />
speaking, the only two that could cause you<br />
problems are the loss of the group functions<br />
and the inability to import EPS graphics, but if<br />
you are only planning to do letters, faxes or<br />
straightforward essays the functions that<br />
remain are more than enough. All Final<br />
Writer's text formatting functions remain<br />
untouched, and as long as you don't want to<br />
do any fancy diagrams with the structured<br />
drawing tools, you will be able to use all Final<br />
Writer's drawing tools to the full.<br />
For people with a limited budget who need<br />
a page processor that will work on a<br />

heavy-handed standfirst for this<br />
review, but the<br />
O truth of the matter<br />
t<br />
is that, notwithstanding its<br />
m<br />
shortcomings (more on<br />
iwhich<br />
later), MacroForm is<br />
gone<br />
of those tools that<br />
hturns<br />
your stumbling<br />
t attempts with the mod-<br />
seller<br />
into stone in an<br />
eexpert<br />
sculptors'<br />
ehands.<br />
But unlike a<br />
m sculptor's stone,<br />
l MacroForm gives you<br />
ithe<br />
chance to rectify<br />
kand<br />
refine your<br />
e mistakes until you get<br />
a the result you were<br />
plooking<br />
for.<br />
r<br />
It does this through a<br />
method called 'apply<br />
emodes'.<br />
These use control<br />
t<br />
curves in one layer to affect<br />
t<br />
your polygons (in another layer),<br />
ybut<br />
the great thing is that if that<br />
curve is just too tight for your polygons,<br />
or if it doesn't fit your requirements properly,<br />
all you have to do is reform the curve<br />
into the shape you want and then hit apply<br />
once more. This will reform your polygons<br />
around the new curve's shape ad infinitum,<br />
and if you decide that you didn't want to<br />
deform your polygons after all, you always<br />
have the reset command to bring<br />
everything back to its starting point<br />
The best thing about this constant mutation<br />
of your curve is the fact that you can<br />
save off its results and carry on going. The<br />
hair on the model I have created for this<br />
review is an example of this. I started with<br />
a triangular polygon which I extruded.<br />
Then, using the RailBend tool I bent the<br />
control curve until I was happy with the<br />
OMETHING<br />

IN THE STATE OF<br />
DENMARK...<br />
S<br />
ROTT<br />
EN<br />
While I have painted a very rosy picture of MacroForm, all is not<br />
well if you try to use it under the following conditions:<br />
Firstly, MacroForm is really designed for LightWave 3.5. It works<br />
partially with version 3,1 for any of you with an un-upgraded<br />
Tooster4000, but any functions which require the hiding of<br />
polygons will fail owing to the fact that this version of LightWave<br />
cannot hide polygons. Users of the new Light Wave 4.0a will also be<br />
disappointed in varying amounts depending on whether they can<br />
get MacroForm to work. I had no joy, but OAO Media tell me they<br />
hove users successfully using MacroForm with 4.<br />
However, owing to a bug in Modeler, ARexx macros run anywhere<br />
between five and twenty times slower than they do in 3.5, a<br />
problem NewTek have been informed of and are trying to do something<br />
about. OA° Media are themselves working on a plug-in<br />
version of Macro form which will circumvent these problems and<br />
will be available as an upgrade for registered users of MacroForm.<br />
Secondly, those of you with a need for speed are going to be<br />
very disappointed because the ARexx compiler that has been used<br />
for MacroForm chokes on '060s. This problem should also be<br />
resolved once MacroForm becomes a plug-in. I still believe<br />
MacroForm to be worth the money, even if you have to switch back<br />
to 030 mode to use it.<br />

shape of it and then applied it to the<br />
extruded triangles. The first few attempts at<br />
this resulted in curves that were too sharp<br />
for the extrusion to cope with, resulting in<br />
doubled back polygons, but with the Apply<br />
mode set, this was no problem - simply<br />
shift the curve and try again.<br />
Once I had a bendy set iof polygons I was<br />
happy with, I saved off the resulting object<br />
as 'Hairl', continued to reform the control<br />
curve and applied it to the polygons resulting<br />
in different bends to the hair. The more<br />

RAILTOOLZ IN FIJI.<br />
n<br />
g<br />
astute of you will already be thinking that<br />
this tool is ideal for making morph targets<br />
and you wouldn't be wrong. Best of all is<br />
the fact that RailBend is only one of .2<br />
similar tools, all of which use a curve as a<br />
control surface.<br />
It will take time to learn to use<br />
MacroForm to its full advantage, but what a<br />
tool. Even with the shortcomings mentioned,<br />
this piece of software drags<br />
lightWave's Modeler kicking and screaming<br />
into the late '90s.<br />
RailBend this tool allows you to use a<br />
curve to bend your polygons to fit it. You can<br />
bend your polygons in two dimensions or<br />
three, giving the maximum possible flexibility.<br />
With Align mode turned on, you don't<br />
even have to worry about lining up your<br />
polygon correctly for the curves, as Raillbolt<br />
will do that too.<br />
SmartRail - this is the first of the extrude<br />
functions that RailToolz provides. Like<br />
RailBend it can automatically match you<br />
polygon to the curve. You can spedi<br />
whether you want to centre the polygon<br />
the curve or let it extrude with an offset<br />
Either way, you won't end up with the dr<br />
ded squished box syndrome. SmartRail<br />
even create a circular or rectangular pa<br />
gon to extrude for those modellers too to<br />
to even do this.<br />

RailForm - this bungs a curve around yo<br />
model which you can deform. Depending<br />
what settings you choose, your mckfiel<br />
then made to fit this curve. This tool is gr

In addition to the celebrated RailToolz set of<br />
macros, Macroforrn also comes with six other<br />
macros, and the tutorials macro which makes<br />
use of all the macros by showing you how to<br />
use them_ The first, KeyMaster, is a bit like the<br />
configure keys tool in the Macro or Custom<br />
menu in Modeler, with the added benefit of<br />

for creating organic models that standalone,<br />
but proves to be one of the less<br />
useful tools in practice,<br />
Railtength -<br />
C<br />
a tool tool, really, Railtength<br />
mil return the true 3D length of a curve and<br />
allow you to modify it. This comes in very<br />
handy when you ore creating a model out of<br />
a range of parts that need to be fitted together<br />
because you can use it to make sure all<br />
'our curves are precisely the some length, or<br />
fit to a desired area. Ralitength can determine<br />
the length of closed or open curves.<br />
RailMold - a bit like RailBend with a magnet.<br />
Because curves can double back on<br />
themselves, RailMold offers two methods for<br />
dealing with this - smoothing and smoothing<br />
with tacking. Smoothing ensures that no<br />
polygons double back on themselves, forming<br />
ugly lines, and smoothing with tacking<br />
allows you to deform your object as though it<br />
has been fastened to something at the points<br />
of least deformation in the curves you use.<br />
Try it it's easier to see than explain!<br />
being able to load and save different configurations.<br />
Align & Center takes the Center] D and<br />
Center macros one step further by allowing the<br />
user to centre models based on the layout of<br />
models in a background layer, or simply on the<br />
axis of your choice. You can also arrange data<br />
so that the left edge of your model is aligned<br />
to the right edge of another model, etc. and<br />
even resize data to match.<br />
Dimensions is very powerful and allows you<br />
to rescale a set of objects according to the<br />
scale of another set. The example given in the<br />
tutorial relating to this macro has a house<br />
model in the background and a table with a<br />
lamp and ruler on it in the foreground, all of<br />
which are grossly out of scale with the house.<br />
Because you know the ruler has to be a foot<br />
long, it means you can scale the other data in<br />
the layer accordingly and thus table, lamp and<br />
ruler are all scaled appropriately for the house.<br />
Distance & Angles gives you the very handy'<br />
ability to tell the exact distance in all three<br />
dimensions, and the angle, between two<br />
points. If you only have one point selected,<br />
then the distance and angle displayed is that<br />
between the point and the origin.<br />
Slice & Dice will slice up any object in a<br />
number of ways, not limited solely to rectangular,<br />
and NewBox will aeate a cube object Not<br />
much use? Ah, yes, but it will give you a rounded<br />
corner box if you so desire, just like the<br />
ones in the example texture scene that comes<br />
with lightWave.<br />
RailOffset - this tool creates a polygon with<br />
a curve. 111 you need do is specify a width<br />
and how you want the ends to look. Using a<br />
control curve with this tool will result in a<br />
polygon with an outline like your control<br />
curve being extruded along the path of your<br />
apply curve. I know this doesn't make much<br />
sense, but you'll just have to try it<br />
RebuildRall - another tool tool, this one<br />
reconstructs curves that have been built in<br />
the wrong order for use with the other<br />
RailToolz. You can also increase or decrease<br />
the number of knots on a curve using<br />
RebuildRail, making it useful for reducing<br />
complexity in your models.<br />
RaitRout -- this provides a service like a<br />
mixture of repeated bevelling and lathing,<br />
but unlike lathing can work on rectangular<br />
objects. It works by using a router to provide<br />
a 'path' for the extrusion to follow. The router<br />
bits can be saved off for future use and<br />
MacroForm comes with a number of presets<br />
for things like buttons and rounded edges. •<br />

RailScale -- this squeezes your models in a<br />
similar way to RailForm and has a wrap<br />
option that behaves a bit like the Modeler's<br />
spherize tool, but wraps your shape to the<br />
curve or curves instead of a ball.<br />
RailSlice - this tool slices your object using<br />
the points on a curve to determine where the<br />
slices will fall. You can use Rainlice with a few<br />
options to mimic the drill, tunnel, core and<br />
slice modes from Solid Drill and Boolean tools<br />
in Modeler.<br />
RallStretch - this uses a curve to stretch your<br />
model and deform it. It can pull polygons out<br />
of line in much the same way as the magnet<br />
tool and, as with most of MacroForm's tools,<br />
really needs to be experimented with to find a<br />
use for.<br />
Rairrivist - this is the lastsf the RailToolz and<br />
twists your object about a chosen axis. The<br />
degree of twist depends on the curvature of<br />
your apply curve and is ideal for making cloth<br />
and other similar types of object.<br />

i<br />
his month were going to begin looking<br />
at the EasyBaseAC which means<br />
we need to start with a few of the<br />
coding conventions I tend to use.<br />
prefix all global variable names with g (as in<br />
g_pon_mask) and all static variables, i.e. those<br />
terns that act like global variables but are only<br />
*visible' within the module in which they are<br />
defined, using I also usually add a p suffix to<br />
variables which represent pointers, although there<br />
are occasions, such as variables<br />
used to hold function addresses,<br />
where I choose not to do this.<br />
Variable names are always<br />
iowercase, with individual words<br />
in the name being separated<br />
using underscores. Wherever<br />
practical I use names that<br />
mean something so when, for<br />
example, you see the variable<br />
Lpublic_screen _p in my code<br />
you are left in little doubt that this<br />
5 a global variable which is a pointer to a public<br />
screen.<br />
Such conventions have but one purpose - to<br />
make life easier for both myself and anyone else<br />
who may need to examine my code In the main I<br />
dotty to stick to my own guidelines but not to the<br />
point where adherence becomes counter-productive<br />
You'll find me using i. j. k etc., for loop variables<br />
just like other programmers. Similarly, there<br />
are times where fully explicit variable names end<br />
up too long to be practical - so shortened names<br />
have to be used. In short the guidelines I adopt<br />
are just that - guidelines, not rigid restrictions!<br />

INDOW SPECIFIC<br />
ALLOCATIONS DEALLOCATIONS AND I<br />
Some operations, like the opening of<br />
libraries that many modules within a program<br />
are likely to need, are best done as the<br />
program starts up. Other things, such as the<br />
resources needed for individual windows<br />
within EasyBaseAC, are best obtained as<br />
and when required.<br />
At the moment EasyBaseAC has a main<br />
controlling module, an always-present main<br />
window with a scrolling (listview) gadget, an<br />
editing window, and a display only window.<br />
What we need to do, of course, is isolate the<br />
opening/closedown operations required, yet<br />
still keep those operations under the<br />
umbrella of our generalised allocation/<br />
deallocation framework.<br />
Each window therefore allocates its own<br />
stack and reads its own array definition of<br />
the things that need to be done, as it opens.<br />
Similarly, as a window closes the window<br />
module code performs its own set of deallocations<br />
to ensure it closes down in a proper<br />
fashion.<br />
To do this I use a stack ADT (abstract data<br />
fl Listing 2 : The sta ck module a cce ss routine s<br />
AMIGA COMPUTING<br />

Eyes down as<br />

details of his<br />

type) module. You don't need to worry<br />
about how this operates internally (that's a<br />
story for another time), all you need to<br />
know is that by including a stack adt.h<br />
header file in each source that requires<br />
stack facilities, and linking the stack_adt.o<br />
module into the final program, the access<br />
routines shown in listing 2 become available<br />
for use.<br />
The benefit of this approach is simply<br />
that because each window takes responsibility<br />
for its own resource handling,<br />
other parts of the program never need to<br />
worry about what resources are being allocated.<br />
When the user finally signals that they<br />
want to quit EasyBaseAC, all the main controlling<br />
code needs to do is check to see<br />
which windows are open and call their<br />
respective dose routines.<br />
Each open window then carries out its<br />
own deallocations independently (you'll see<br />
more of these ideas in subsequent window<br />
handling code)!<br />
s,-.seateStadt(t) this initializes a stack suitable for storing items of type t specified by<br />
the applications program and returns a pointer s to the stack's<br />
descriptor.<br />
e=PushStadt(s,x) this stores item x on stack s and returns an error flag e that is TRUE if<br />
an error has occurred.<br />
e=PopStadc(sx) t h i s retrieves an item from stack s and places it in variable x. Errors<br />
are signified by the returned error flag e being TRUE<br />
kURStack(s) t h i s unloads and then removes the stack s from the list of currently<br />
defined stacks. No return value<br />
f----StadtEmpty(s) this tests stack s to see if it is empty and returns a flag f as TRUE if<br />
there are no items on the stack
•<br />

A ILOCATION AND I<br />
DEALLOCATION<br />
From time to time in my assembler<br />
columns etc_ I've talked about<br />
my stack-based schemes used to<br />
handle allocation and deallocation<br />
operations. Now you are going to<br />
get the chance to see how I do it<br />
from C when several different<br />
code modules are in use. Stacks,<br />
of course, store things on a last in<br />
First out basis and what my<br />
scheme does is ensure that ANY<br />
routine which successfully allocates<br />
or opens some returnable or<br />
closeable system resource pushes<br />
the address of a corresponding<br />
closedown routine onto a stack.<br />
To allow for allocation failures<br />
as the program runs, I adopt the<br />
convention of having all allocation<br />
routines return error numbers that<br />
indicate whether they've succeeded<br />
or not Providing these conventions<br />
are followed, a program<br />
is able to perform its closedown<br />
operations by using a loop to pull<br />
those deallocation routine pointers<br />
from the stack and executing<br />
the corresponding routines. The<br />
beauty of this approach is that the<br />
stack automatically deallocates<br />
things in the reverse order to<br />
the original allocations - things<br />
which are allocated last get deallocated<br />
first (a good, safe, general<br />
method to adopt with all <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
programs).<br />
How do I set up the allocation/de-allocation<br />
code and get<br />
the right pieces of code executed<br />
at the appropriate times? The best<br />
idea is to look at some example<br />
fragments. Listing 1 shows two<br />
routines which open and close the<br />
Intuition library. Notice that the<br />

down all the time for 1Gb and above<br />
drives, rit<br />
might be worth the extra few bob to<br />
get one i of those instead. The first drive I ever<br />
owned gfor<br />
my <strong>Amiga</strong> was a Quantum L1205<br />
drive which h came to me in a box that was<br />
labelled t 'For military use only'. I never found<br />
out whether . this was just a spare bit of<br />
packing, N or whether I ought to dress in combat<br />
fatigues o to use it, but it performed beautifully<br />
and , made a huge difference to my<br />
computing. w<br />
APACITY<br />
e<br />
r<br />
Nowadays, e I have nearly 2Gb of hard drive<br />
space,<br />
a<br />
and I'm still running out and, all told,<br />
it's cost<br />
l<br />
me only slightly more than that venerable<br />
120Mb drive. Unfortunately for us<br />
l<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> users, doubling my hard drive capacity<br />
is about<br />
y<br />
as far as I can go because of the<br />
handy little thing that allows me to shift my<br />
drive to someone else's hard drive controller<br />
the RDB. The ROB (or Rigid Disk Block) is a<br />
32-bit number at the start of a hard drive<br />
that tells the host computer what size it is,<br />
hthod many partitions it is, and so on. But why<br />
can you only have about 4Gb of hard drive<br />
space on your machine (should you ever be<br />
lucky enough to get that kind of space)?<br />
Well, what size was that number again?<br />
32-bit, right, Well a 32-bit number only has<br />
4,294,967,296 combinations and that<br />
equates to about 4.3Gb or, to be more<br />
precise, 4,294,967,296 bytes.<br />
At the time the RDB was conceived, this<br />
was a staggering amount of hard drive space,<br />
and it was inconceivable that anyone would<br />
eier need that much room. At the time, my<br />
120Mb drive was actually quite large. But as<br />
is ever the case with computer technology,<br />
saying 'Ooh, no-one will ever need, or be<br />
able to afford, 4.3Gb of hard drive space, a<br />
32-bit number will be plenty', is almost a<br />
guarantee that hard drive prices will plummet<br />
and sizes will expand exponentially. And<br />
thus it was. Still, owners of VLab Motions,<br />
PARs, DB32s, AD5I6s and Toccata cards, etc.<br />
needn't worry about exceeding this 4.3Gb<br />
limit as their cards don't use <strong>Amiga</strong>DOS-formatted<br />
hard drives and are thus exempt<br />
from the limit for the hard drives they use on<br />
those cards.<br />
On platforms that don't have this limitation<br />
you can get things called RAIDs (Rapid<br />
Array of Inexpensive Disks), which are basicaly<br />
boxes filled to the brim with hard drives<br />
of around the 1Gb mark typically which all<br />
act together as one big, very fast, hard drive.<br />
The reason RAIDs are so fast is that you are<br />
increasing the number of heads looking for<br />
the information on the disks, and because<br />
rd.i are only using smaller hard drives in the<br />
RAID, the whole thing usually costs less than<br />
trying to buy one big drive. The other advantage<br />
you have is that if that one big drive had<br />
a problem, you would be in deep shtuck, but<br />
if one of the drives in a RAID goes belly<br />
up, sure, you'll lose some data, but at least<br />
you'll still have the other drives up and<br />
running.<br />
IZE VS SPEED<br />
On a similar point, do you know why large<br />
hard drives are faster than smaller ones? No,<br />
well the reason for this is because on a 3.5"<br />
drive, a 1Gb drive has less space between<br />
the sectors and tracks for the head to skip<br />
across than on a 120Mb drive, and this<br />
means a faster access time, even though the<br />
drive can hold more data and thus, theoretically,<br />
there is more data to look through<br />
before the desired data is found.<br />
So, anyway, onto the drives themselves.<br />
We have a mix of IDE and SCSI drives (just<br />
the two SCSI drives actually) from a variety of<br />
Hard<br />
drives, hard drives, everywhere<br />
and not one under a gig. Frank<br />
Nord investigates a worrying<br />
trend in hard drive size<br />

manufacturers. All the drives are IS' devices<br />
and are larger than 1Gb (apart from the<br />
Quantum at 640Mb), because that's what<br />
the manufacturers want us to show. If you<br />
can't afford one of these drives at the<br />
moment, well, there's not much you can do,<br />
but the prices are corning down fast, so you'll<br />
only have to wait a while.<br />

S ETTING IDE DRIVES UP<br />
Because you can only have two IDE drives on a controller,<br />
you'd think the configuration would be even easier than for<br />
a SCSI drive, but there are more possibilities than you<br />
might imagine. You've got Master, Slave and Master with<br />
Slave present These different modes represent the different<br />
ways of setting up one or two IDE drives on a machine,<br />
but quite often you'll need to change several jumpers to<br />
make it so.<br />
Fortunately, IDE drive manufacturers have started to try<br />
HOSE BENCHMARKS<br />
Our benchmark test consisted of copying the MUI directory you get<br />
when you unpack it from this month's coverdisk to and from the<br />
drives from RAM:. As a last test we also used the current version of<br />
Sysinfo (3.23) to check the speed of the drive. As we should all<br />
know by now, Sysinfo's results can be very misleading depending<br />
on your saeenmcmie, etc. so here is our system set-up in full:<br />
We have an A4000/04 with 18Mb of RAM. We ran all tests on an<br />
eight colour screen in DoublePAL mode. For the file copying we<br />
used Directory Opus 4.12. SCSI drives were tested oft the Oktagon<br />
card's external SCSI port.<br />

to cut out the Master with Slave present option so you only<br />

drive that gave us a problem for setting up was the skinny<br />
Seagate I had set the Seagate that came with our A4000<br />
as a Slave drive so that I hopefully wouldn't have to<br />
change anything on the other drives, but the Seagate we<br />
reviewed had to have its jumpers changed. All very well,<br />
but the chart showing how the jumpers had to be set was<br />
very confusing.<br />

Quantum have always had a good name for themselves when it came to SCSI hard drives -<br />
they come as standard with Apple machines - but their IDE hard drives were never known for<br />
their turn of speed. However, the Fireball is a great drive. Not only does it feel speedy, in operation<br />
it proves to be fast too. Windows open quicker and icons are displayed in a flash.<br />
Unfortunately, unless you are lucky, you probably won't be<br />
able to buy this drive by the time you read this piece<br />

The Gasteiner drive is actually IBM's<br />
Pegasus model and performs<br />
very well in association with<br />
the supplied Oktagon controller<br />
card. The case has the familiar<br />
push button SCSI ID switch and<br />
two 50-way SCSI connectors. It<br />
has no internal termination<br />
switch or drive LED, but the<br />
power switch is handily located at<br />
the front of the case. The drive is<br />
fast and quiet and is apparently a<br />
best seller at Gasteiner. Again, the<br />
hard drive appeared to work harder<br />
than its Sysinfo results bear out.

DATA OKTAGON SCSI CONTROLLER CARD<br />
Not a SCSI drive, but the controller for a big box <strong>Amiga</strong> like an A4000. The Oktagon<br />
is one of few cards remaining for new owners, but it works pretty well. It can<br />
take up to eight megabytes of ZIP RAM on board to act as a memory card<br />
as well as SCSI controller, but this RAM won't work at full speed in<br />
anything other than an A1500 or 2000. The card also comes<br />
with Cigamem, a virtual memory utility which can use<br />
hard drive space as memory. The card does have<br />
some very nice features such as password protected<br />
boot and so on. you can fit a<br />
half-height 3.5" drive on the card<br />
itself as well as externally.<br />
ETTING UP A SCSI DRIVE<br />
SCSI is much easier. Before you install a new drive (you<br />
can have up to seven hard drives or CD-ROMs, SCSI<br />
scanners or tapestreamers), check the ID number of the<br />
drives you already have on your machine. You can do<br />
this by starting up HDToolbox and looking at the ID<br />
number, or address, which is shown in the second column.<br />
Make a note of these numbers and make sure<br />
you don't set your new hard drive to-the same ones.<br />

The Fujitsu was another slow booter. If you<br />
don't mind resetting your machine once you<br />
have reached the bott screen, then this is no<br />
problem. If, however, you are one of those<br />
impatient people, you'll need to get one of<br />
those boot delay programs readily available<br />
on the Net The Fujitsu performed well other<br />
than this problem and its jumper settings<br />
were easy and clearly printed on the case.<br />
For some reason, the Fujitsu drive wouldn't<br />
show up in the list of drives available for<br />
SysInfo's speed test, although it did turn up<br />
in the list if we pressed the SCSI button on<br />
the same page. Thus we have no SysInfo<br />

it should be a set of jumpers usually numbered 1,2 & 4.<br />
These are your bit values and they work in binary. If you<br />
don't have any jumpers your ID is 0, if you have one on<br />
1, then your ID is 1. One on 2 and 4 means that your ID<br />
is six and so on.<br />
If your hard drive is an externally cased one, then you<br />
will probably have a dial to change the SCSI ID of the<br />
drive. If not, you'll need to take the case apart to<br />
change the drive's ID.<br />

BOOT-UP<br />
If you don't already have one, the greatest<br />
accessory to any first-time <strong>Amiga</strong> user is a<br />
hard drive. Unfortunately, when a hard disk<br />
fails it seems as if the bottom's fallen out of<br />
your world.<br />
There are many non-fatal errors that can occur<br />
with a hard drive and 90 per cent are due to user error.<br />
One of the most common is the invalidated drive - invariably<br />
Workbench. Workbench will inform you of this error with a<br />
requester stating that the drive Workbench is not validated. So what are<br />
the symptoms?<br />
The symptoms are a Workbench that seems to take an eternity to load, a hard drive light<br />
that continues flashing even<br />
when Workbench has loaded,<br />
and, of course, the not validated<br />
requester. The problem usually<br />
occurs when a user, that's you,<br />
has removed a disk or reset the<br />
computer while something was<br />
being written to the hard drive -<br />
not the done thing.<br />
The solution, in most cases, is<br />
10 wait until the hard drive light<br />
stops flashing and to reboot, or<br />
to invest in a good hard drive<br />
repair program such as<br />
Quarterback Tools or Disk SaIv.<br />
Check the adverts in <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
<strong>Computing</strong> for these products,<br />
KEY?<br />
When writing text documents you will<br />
often come to a time when you need to<br />
type in a character which doesn't appear<br />
to be on the keyboard. The copyright and<br />
Diphthong symbols (c and /E) are often<br />
the most common characters which send<br />
you round the keyboard.<br />
Workbench comes complete with a very<br />
useful program called Keyshow - located<br />
in the Tools directory - which will display<br />
all the different characters that can be<br />
gained by holding down two or more keys<br />
at a single time.<br />
All you have to do is press the Aft, Shift<br />
and Ctrl keys in any combination and the<br />
graphic keyboard will display the characters<br />
that can be used with the combination.<br />
if you press the Alt key you will see<br />
the c character appear over the E key.<br />
Therefore, Alt combined with E will<br />
produce c<br />

ASTER DISK<br />
ACCESS<br />
Even if you've got a hard drive you'll never<br />
escape completely from having to use the<br />
dreaded floppy disk. Disk accessing and writing<br />
can be a real chore due to the slow<br />
nature of floppy disk drives.<br />
Thankfully, <strong>Amiga</strong> DOS provides a command<br />
that can actually speed up disk access<br />
considerably. In fact, your Workbench already<br />
uses it. The command is AddBuffers and if<br />
you load up your startup-sequence in the S<br />
directory you'll see it under Citersion >NIL:<br />
Addhffer )1111.: 10: 15<br />
By changing the value 15 to a greater number<br />
you can increase the amount of buffers<br />
(RAM) used in order to speed up disk access.<br />
Beware though - using too many buffers can<br />
slow your system down due to the lack of<br />
RAM. On a basic <strong>Amiga</strong> of 2Mb you can safely<br />
set this number to 50 or even 100.<br />
SE YOUR MEMORY<br />
Working from a floppy disk soon becomes tiresome due to the slow access<br />
and writing times, The process can be made quicker, though, by copying the<br />
files you want to work on into RAM which is faster than a hard drive - it is<br />
almost instant.<br />
Once you have finished your work you can then copy it back to the<br />
floppy disk. Using this method you only have to access the floppy disk<br />
twice. Performing this task with the floppy disk would take infinitely<br />
longer.<br />

MOOTHER FONTS<br />
Your Workbench uses what are known as bitmap fonts which are fonts made<br />
up of pixels. The problem with bitmap fonts is that when scaled in size they<br />
tend to look chunky and blocky (called jaggies). Intellifont, located in the<br />
System drawer, allows you to install special outline fonts.<br />
Outline fonts are better than bitmap fonts because they are drawn using<br />
mathematical equations, so when they are scaled they maintain their smooth<br />
quaky. You can install new outline fonts using IntelliFont and even create<br />
new bitmap fonts out of outline fonts. All your current outline fonts are<br />
indicated with a • symbol.<br />

AINBOW<br />
AMIGA<br />
Changing the colours on Workbench can<br />
prove to be a great deal of fun but you can<br />
do more than change the icons and backdrop<br />
colours - you can also change the<br />
colour of all the window and information<br />
elements.<br />
The first thing to do is load up the<br />
Palette program located in the Preis drawer.<br />
The elements are presented in a<br />
scrolling gadget with the default colour in<br />
a box to the left.<br />
If, for example, you select the element<br />
labelled Active Window Titlebars, which is<br />
originally blue, and then choose black<br />
you'll find that your windows change to<br />
this colour when you hit the Save button.<br />
however, before you commit yourself to<br />
any changes you can click the Show<br />
Sample_ button and you will be presented<br />
with a default window and associated<br />
gadgets in the colour scheme you have<br />
specified.<br />
Even though Workbench is capable of<br />
running in 256 colour mode, you can only<br />
edit the first eight colours. This also<br />
applies to the elements - they too can<br />
only be of a colour in the first eight.<br />

ITS AND PIECES<br />
Hard drives suffer from a problem known as<br />
fragmentation. When data is copied to your<br />
hard drive or data moved around, the files<br />
tend to get spread right out across the hard<br />
drive. The result of this is that files on your<br />
hard drive take longer to load and Workbench<br />
windows take longer to draw.<br />
Using a program such as Quarterback<br />

HE RIGHT SETUP<br />
If you own a hard drive it will have been more than likely formatted and Workbench installed at<br />
the retail end. Although this means you can use your Workbench immediately, you may find<br />
the actual setup lacking that personal touch.<br />
I previously mentioned the usefulness of a Data partition for backing up purposes.<br />
Unfortunately, most setups don't take this into consideration which means you have to alter it<br />
Workbench comes complete with HDToolBox in the Tools directory which allows you to<br />
partition (cut up) and format your drive.<br />
When you load HDToolBox you are presented with the main window and a set of options. If<br />
you click on the button labelled Partition Drive you will see a volume indicator with a small<br />
blue arrow. By pulling this anow you can reduce and increase the size in Mbs of the hard drive.<br />
By clicking on the New Partition button and then clicking in the spare volume area you can add<br />
a new partition, and this, too, will have a blue arrow you can move up and down just as before.<br />
In the Partition Drive Name box you can name each partition - one will, more than likefy, be<br />
called Workbench. You must turn the Bootable button ticked which tells your hard drive to<br />
automatically try and boot up using this partition.<br />
To make the changes permanent you can then click on the Okay button and select Save<br />
Changes to Drive at the main HDToolBox window. To finish off the procedure you should then<br />
boot with your floppy disk Workbench and format each partition with the original names you<br />
chose in HDToolBox. All that's left then is to install Workbench to the new Workbench partition.<br />

This process involves taking all the progra<br />
ms oft and then replacing them so they are n<br />
ot split up or spread out. Although the process<br />
can take a fair amount of time, the speed<br />

You should look to de-fragment your hard<br />
drive once every six months.<br />

next part of<br />
our solution<br />
F ight of<br />

Alright! So we may be a little bit latewith this second<br />
part of the complete solution. It's only<br />
because it's taken us this long to actually get anywhere.<br />
No, we're only kidding - we're really<br />
amazing at games and we complete them In<br />
hours. So there.<br />
You notice the coupon Inside the comic has<br />
been removed, Use this with the soggy coupon<br />
from the plane to view the plans and code for the<br />
pocket rocket, enabling you to work out Skip's<br />
message.<br />
Now go and find a waterfall and<br />
then head east where you'll<br />
come across the ape, Go<br />
south at this point and<br />
you'll come upon the<br />
missionaries. Speak to<br />
Mary Lou and find out<br />
how she communicated<br />
with the pygmies. Before<br />
you leave you must give<br />
the banana to the monkey in<br />
the middle and then take the<br />
coccinut from him. Now go back to the<br />
ape and insult him which, quite bizarrely. will<br />
Involve him disappearing. After the log bridge<br />
you will find some wasps buzzing over<br />
a flower, so hoover them up using the<br />
vacuum cleaner, pick up the flower.<br />
and continue to head east. As you<br />
approach the carvings you'll hear a<br />
noise and you must hide behind the little<br />
hole. You will see two women<br />
appear and they will talk briefly before a stone<br />
slides across your hiding place. You will then find<br />
yourself in what looks like a dungeon. One of the<br />
men present will give you a glove puppet. Faye<br />
will then appear and she will release you<br />
because you are needed to rescue the princess,<br />
You must now walk around the pool and go<br />
west and you'll be at the entrance to the castle.<br />
If you continue along the path you'll find yourself<br />
at the pinnacle. Now you must head towards<br />
Trader Bob's.<br />
When you get there you must offer<br />
Bob the fl ower you picked<br />
earlier and he'll return the<br />
favour by giving you a net.<br />
Now go back into the<br />
'i<br />
• the comic book in return<br />
j<br />
for a file.<br />
u If you go south you will be<br />
n<br />
able to get a banana from<br />
a tree, and then you must go<br />
g<br />
back to the pinnacle and into<br />
l<br />
the jungle. heading east until you<br />
reach the waterfall. Use e your net to capture the<br />
beetle and then go aand<br />
find the missionaries.<br />
Swap the file for the ndictionary<br />
and go back to<br />
Trader Bob's and then d swap the perfume for the<br />
scissors.<br />
g<br />
On your way out, talk i to the witch doctor an<br />
you will discover that vhe<br />
needs some stuff to cur<br />
rashes. Give him the e vacuum and he'll take<br />
and use the wasps, then S break the coconut a<br />
give him the milk contained<br />
p<br />
inside. Get a fib<br />
from Floda and give it to the sloth who will start<br />
a<br />
eat it, whereupon you can use the scissors to c<br />
some of his hair off. Now<br />
r<br />
you can go back a<br />
give it to the witchdoctor<br />
k<br />
so he can make<br />
cure.<br />
y<br />
Once you have this, go back to the jungle an<br />
find Bud, He will pay you for the rash cure, Buy<br />
record at Trader Bob's with your money then<br />
back to Floda and talk to the receptionist y<br />
must tell her you ore the fumigator so she can I<br />
you in. If you walk north towards the library you
the<br />
(<br />
,<br />
rind some money under a cushion. Use the record<br />
on the record player to reveal a hidden lift.<br />
Forget about this for now and go through into the<br />
kitchen, and after talking to the cook, give him a<br />
banana which he will take away with him. Take<br />
the Cheeze Bitz and dog food from the kitchen<br />
and take the east exit into the sleeping quarters.<br />
Open the mailsack and take out the letter to<br />
Private John. Now you must open the locker and<br />
take the toy. Go back to the library and get in the<br />
lift and once it descends you must open the first<br />
_door into the warehouse. Take the tin opener<br />
from one of the boxes. Now walk up the corridor<br />
and give the letter to the guard who will allow<br />
you to go into the rooms he was guarding. Go<br />
Into the first room and remember one of the messages<br />
on the table. Leave this room and go into<br />
the other, and look at the roster to find out that<br />
the guard is guarding Fronk's office, and<br />
that Henry is going to the kitchen<br />
for kitchen duty. Outside this<br />
room you will meet Klunk<br />
who will tell you that he<br />
uwas created by the<br />
Mod Doctor, Ignore<br />
him for now,<br />
Go into the next<br />
room and tell the soldier<br />
called Henry that he has<br />
kitchen duty and that he<br />
should see Colonel Jackson, with<br />
which he'll disappear. Now you can access the<br />
guarded office Use your knife on the book on the<br />
table to prise the book open and discover the<br />
ekey inside. Go back though the door and down<br />
the stairs, through the lab and upwards and you'll<br />
come to a cell door. Open it to rescue Princess<br />
Azure<br />
Go into the foyer and take the pencil from the<br />
vacant receptionist's post. Use the mannequins<br />
to hide yourself and then ask Azuro about the<br />
code and she'll do it all for you.<br />
Now you must give the toy you picked up earlier<br />
to the dog, who will be nice and content as<br />
you open the door of the shed, You can't open<br />
the box inside so head back to the Amazon<br />
Fortress where you will be given a horn-like<br />
device. At this stage The Prof turns up and insists<br />
that Joe must go to Sloth <strong>Is</strong>land. So off you go.<br />
When you arrive at the pinnacle, head<br />
towards the jetty. The ferryman/reaper will ask for<br />
some bait so he can fish properly. Give him the<br />
beetle and he'll take you over to the island in<br />
return<br />
When you get to the island, go into the temple<br />
and you'll see a statue and some empty storage<br />
space, next to which there is an entrance - one<br />
of which you should go through. Take away all<br />
the bones which are left when you move the<br />
decomposed bodies. Now you can go back to<br />
the other room and put together a new skeleton<br />
in the relevant comportments. Put the arm which<br />
is left on the statue, put a coin in the slot, and pull<br />
the arm. Go to the entrance and you'll fall<br />
down the hole. If you leave the<br />
room you will have to go<br />
through the right-hand door<br />
and head northwards.<br />
Cross the bridge and talk<br />
to the zombie-type<br />
things until you persuade<br />
them to open the tomb.<br />
Now you can pick up the<br />
bandages. The women will<br />
then disappear. Open up the<br />
tomb and take the crown. Cut the<br />
vines to repair the pulley, then move it and you'll<br />
see a big drop which you must fall down.<br />
When you get up, use your knife to scrape<br />
some sap off the vine and head towards the<br />
fountainhead, pick up the blue stone, and walk<br />
post the lever into a room looking down onto a<br />
guy trapped in a cage.<br />
And we'll leave you to see if you can figure out<br />
the last bit because we're not going to let you<br />
cheat all the way. Come on! Put some effort in.<br />
Alright - if you get really stuck we may be persuaded<br />
to print the last part which you can put<br />
together with our previous parts and make a nice<br />
little booklet. Ahh.<br />

majority of gamesplayers. One of the all Um<br />
greats was Commando - and it wasn't becau<br />
of the technology at that particular time. I<br />
was all to do with competition. Yo<br />

Speed test<br />
One of the main down points to these games can<br />
be the amount of sprites in the screen. In the later<br />
levels when there are more foot soldiers and bigger<br />
tanks. there is a lot happening on screen all at<br />
once. Thankfully. Watchtower doesn't slow down<br />
one bit - and thot was on a standard Al200.<br />
Each of these soldiers takes two hits to kill and<br />
each tank, helicopter or bunker takes a good 10<br />
accurate shots to destroy. However. when you do<br />
demolish buildings there will be power-ups waiting<br />
Look at those trees. Green aren't they? See if<br />
you can shoot a rabbit or something, or, I mean<br />
don't do that... aver!<br />
the Finnish development team, ore the masterminds<br />
behind it and are responsible for the outstanding<br />
explosions and effects. These are truly<br />
superb and although they don't make a game.<br />
they certainly odd to the atmosphere.<br />
As far as plots go It's the same old story. You<br />
ore in big demand to help defeat some overpowering<br />
nation somewhere and your job is to<br />
face them and basically blow them off the face<br />
of the Earth with your pistol... hmm•<br />
It's a sort of heroic story and if you manage<br />
to fulfil it you will be living in luxury and swimming<br />
in money for the rest of your life. So there's<br />
absolutely no pressure on you whatsoever.<br />
There are six missions where you must take on<br />
the enemy which ore all based over different terrains<br />
such as the desert. jungle and city. Each<br />
one has a varied amount of boddies and end-of-<br />
for you such as grenades, a shotgun or simply<br />
energy - all of them will help you in your mission at<br />
the end of the day. Each mission is topped off with<br />
end-of-level guardians which are not so easy to<br />
destroy because you have to dodge flying missiles<br />
as well as ground fire. It all boils down to reactions<br />
- you must be able to react quickly with the joystick<br />
while continually pressing fire. The enemy's<br />
bullets are bright yellow and move pretty slow so<br />
you shouldn't have a problem until later on.<br />
If you collect that power-up you wilt<br />
receive a huge big gun which will allow<br />
you to shoot more people. Hoo-rayt<br />
level guardians. The best parts of the graphics are<br />
almost certainly the backgrounds and explosions<br />
The animation is smooth and the sound effects<br />
suit the action perfectly.<br />
However, where Watchtower excels <strong>Is</strong> in its<br />
playability. It's just like taking a trip down to the<br />
arcade to battle out a good few hours of<br />

Times. He's stupid. And following an unfortunate<br />
piano meets head incident, he's also quite dead.<br />
Finding himself in some sort of weird limbo, he<br />
meets God and realises he's been grim reapered<br />
too soon as they don't know if he's Heavenbound<br />
or going down. The only way to sort things out is<br />
for him to travel through Midway. At the end of<br />
this quest, he'll have proved himself worthy of<br />
Heaven or Hell and everything is hunky dory. So.<br />
God swings open the door and shoves Charlie<br />
into Midway. What wonders await our hero? A<br />
platform game. That's what the afterlife is like,<br />
apparently. Something to look forward to, eh?<br />
So, yes, it's not terribly original, but then what is<br />
these days? Basically, you've got seven realms of<br />
Midway to plough through. with four levels in<br />
each. In each level, find a key and get to the far<br />
right-hand side of the level to proceed. Each<br />
successfully completed level sweeps your brow<br />
with a special password-shaped duster, there are<br />
power ups to fiddle with, and special bonus rooms<br />
lurk about the place like great big lurking things.<br />
All well and good. But what unique trousers<br />
does this game wear to make it stand out'? Well,<br />
bet you wish that you<br />
were this cool, don't you?<br />
Look out for that spike, Charlie. You've only got<br />
two lives left, and we don't want you to die<br />
Secret lemonade<br />
drinker<br />
In accordance with EC platform game law.<br />
Charlie J. Cool features secret rooms. But, unlike<br />
most games, you can't actually see the rooms<br />
Whereas most games leave little clues - a section<br />
of lightly coloured wall, a platform that<br />
leads nowhere - Charlie's rooms are invisible<br />
Unless you find a special icon that reveals thei:<br />
locations. Not a bad idea but, personally, halt<br />
the fun of a platform game is working out where<br />
The secrets are. Take that pleasure away and it<br />
makes the game even less fun,<br />
remember that you must prove Charlie to be<br />
good or bad enough to go to Heaven or Hell. n<br />
each level there are creatures who are out te<br />
bite your eyelids and generally hurt you, and<br />
there are some who want to be your friend. kit<br />
baddies and your karma goes up, squish you<br />
sicky mates and karma is lost. At the start of eact<br />
level a meter shows you how you're faring karmawise<br />
and the content of the last level depends on<br />
whether or not you're good or evil. Which <strong>Is</strong> nice,<br />
Apart from that though, it's an idea free zone.<br />
There are, however, some bad points. Bad<br />
points which rampage through the good poirr!<br />
Charlie tries to hide from my cruel comments.<br />
Come out, you fool, I love you really.
Char<br />
like some crazy bison. First up is the satanic stinginess<br />
with lives. Three hits and that's it. Game Over,<br />
You can pick-up extra lives, but they're few and<br />
far between. Admittedly, this isn't a huge hardship<br />
as the game isn't overtly difficult, but<br />
combined with the other flaws In Charlie's sack of<br />
badness it's enough to cast doubts on the<br />
game's worthiness.<br />
Flaws like the lack of a continue option. Every<br />
time it's Game Over (after only three hits). you<br />
have to retype the password and start the level<br />
again. This soon leads to aggravation, especially<br />
as the collision detection can sometimes seem<br />
a little wanton. And the ironic cherry on top is<br />
That to play the final level you have to play<br />
through the whole game without using passwords.<br />
That's 28 levels on only three lives, It had<br />
better be worth it.<br />
Now after those gripes it might sound like I'm<br />
slogging the game off. Well, actually, I am. But I<br />
don't want to. Underneath all those pointless<br />
annoyances lies a pleasant plafformer - it might<br />
not change the world but It's fun. At least for a<br />
while. In fact, it reminded me of that golden Team<br />
17 oldie. Superfrog. Very similar level layouts, similor<br />
controls, similar objectives. The Only difference<br />
is that Superfrog was covered in nice shiny<br />
playable bits, whereas Charlie J. Cool is covered<br />
In niggly bits that make you grumpy. It is cheap, at<br />

If you're a fan of platform<br />
games and simply can't<br />
sleep until you've played<br />
them all, then a tenner is a<br />
small price to pay. However,<br />
If you're a highly strung person,<br />
avoid this game like the<br />

if rather dull, gameplay,<br />
this is strictly for masochists<br />
who love to be frustrated to<br />
the point of combustion. A<br />
pity really, as deep within<br />
lurks something quite good.

offering just<br />
proves that<br />
Oasis aren't<br />

making it big<br />
across the<br />
Atlantic<br />
month we covered a preview version<br />
of Capitol Punishment - the no<br />
IIast<br />
holds barred beat-'em-up created by<br />
clickBOOM, the development team<br />
derived from a 25-year old. Torontobased<br />
graphic design company by the name of<br />
Pxl Computers.<br />
Capital Punishment's producer, Alexander<br />
Petrovic, formed his team from experts in the fields<br />
of programming, art and music in 1994.<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong>'s saga was unfortunately taking its<br />
toll but clickBOOM braved through the storms and<br />
carried on with their project, not knowing what the<br />
future would hold.<br />
They were designing graphics until around<br />
midnight and if they weren't happy with them<br />
they wouldn't pack everything up and go to bed,<br />
they would work through the early hours of the<br />
morning because the Job required dedication -<br />
and if anyone has the dedication it's clickBOOM.<br />
The whole purpose was to create 'uttimately<br />
playable video games' that would bring<br />
everything good about the arcades to home<br />
computers. Namely. the <strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
I spoke to Alexander Petrovic to find out more<br />
on his quest to bring the wodd's greatest fighting<br />
game to our screens. I began by enquiring about<br />
what his job entails: "Before we started work, my<br />
Job was to find the talents that would produce a<br />

or four months ago. but Alex explained it hod<br />

fighting certainly wasn't our first choice. Or at<br />

I was thinking about a 3D game where the<br />
player could control a<br />
bunch of Commandos<br />
through the jungle, the<br />
goal being to assassinate<br />
different criminals and drug<br />
lords hidden deep inside<br />
the jungle. However, the<br />
rest of the team thought<br />
the game wouldn't be<br />
action packed enough -<br />
and they were right.<br />
We tried it and it looked<br />
OK butt realised it shouldn't<br />
be our fi rst game.<br />
Consequently, Capital<br />

born.<br />

when we believe we were officially established as<br />

hearing that it worked perfectly on a<br />

the public began to spark interest. -<br />

here how the<br />
designers have<br />
used wire frames<br />
to base their<br />
characters on<br />
a big city we are lucky to have several <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
stores, but in any smaller town. <strong>Amiga</strong> hardware<br />
selection is non-existent. If they do need a piece<br />
of software or hardware they really don't<br />
need stores on every corner - they will find their<br />
product and mail-order It.'<br />
In my opinion, Capital Punishment is already<br />
looking outstanding. and clickBOOM are already<br />
considering moving onto other formats such as<br />
the PC, Playstation, and Saturn. 'Our original plani<br />
was to have Capital Punishment on the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
and then, after a year or so, on other platforms.<br />
That's how it's been done with all important<br />
games developed for the specific system. After<br />
the initial hype of six months to one year, they<br />
produce a conversion for other plattorms.<br />
This seemed the right time to mention what<br />
they thought the future may hold for them. The<br />
topic of the Amigo's future has been the focus of<br />
much debate. Two years ago, most people were<br />
convinced that the <strong>Amiga</strong> would not survive a<br />
year without <strong>Commodore</strong>. Well, here we are in<br />
1996 and that prediction has been proved false.<br />
The <strong>Amiga</strong> is alive and well, users still adore it, and<br />
we now have the best fighting game ever-<br />
Alexander believes there is enough talent out<br />
there to produce plenty of games during the<br />
year: "When we began our project we ignored<br />
the scepticism that was present within the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
community and decided to so4e1y concentrate<br />
on work. It was our opinion that the <strong>Amiga</strong>, quite<br />
simply, could not die.'<br />

see, the track<br />
editor will be a<br />
superb edition<br />
which will give<br />
you endless<br />
opportunities<br />
to play XTR<br />
The scary lava ridden track<br />
will be by far the most<br />
exciting of tracks with<br />
monsters and things

hen Premier Manager first came out I<br />
remember playing it for around 12<br />
months non-stop - unfortunately I'm<br />
not kidding. I managed to take then<br />
non-leaguers Wycombe Wanderers to<br />
the height of Division 1 football and when my contract<br />
expired and I took on the job at Manchester<br />
City. over the next few seasons I managed to win<br />
every domestic and European trophy on offer. This<br />
was the exact point I thought "Right! Where's my<br />
social life gone?'<br />
About a year later my appetite was to be dangled<br />
over the freshwater lake that is Premier<br />
Manager 2, Although underneath the same<br />
game existed, it featured some superb match<br />
sequences and generally It had been polished up<br />
graphically. I didn't spend as long on the second<br />
version, mainly because I'd seen It all before and<br />
it was just too damn hard. I managed to take<br />
Halifax Town to Division 2 when I was offered a job<br />
OP<br />
trs:t<br />
at my local side Stockport County and from then<br />
on I failed miserably,<br />
When Premier Manager 3 came along I knew<br />
that after two previous versions, if anyone could<br />
strike up the perfect game then it had to be<br />
Gremlin.<br />
So what exactly is Premier Manager 3 Deluxe?<br />
Well, it's a like a luxury version of Premier Manager<br />
3 because It comes with the much fabled Multi<br />
Edit System which allows you to alter everything in<br />
the game. be it team names, player names, rat<br />
-ings, league structures - the lot. Also, the actual<br />
editor has been around for some time but only<br />
now have they decided to bundle It In with the<br />
full package.<br />
I think a Premier Manager 4 version of<br />
the game isn't the answer because surely<br />
Gremlin would be pretty hard pushed to find<br />
completely new ways of presenting the same<br />
football simulation. Consequently. I think the right
All change<br />
The Multi Edit System is based along the same lines<br />
as the actual game. The icons appear at the foot<br />
of the screen arid you can cycle forward and<br />
backward through the various values by the left<br />
and right mouse buttons. In all you can edit the<br />
teams, managers, kits, players, ratings, ground<br />
capacities, ticket prices, ground name, safety ratings,<br />
and league tables, and you can even<br />
edit how long you'll be out for a broken arm. You<br />
can also edit your start position so you don't<br />
have to begin your career in the conference -<br />

As you can see, Liverpool are unusually<br />
placed around mid-table - atthough they'll<br />
probably still win the championship<br />
you can zip straight to the top in the Premier<br />
League. The whole system <strong>Is</strong> really easy, efficient<br />
and user friendly because you can swap players.<br />
Usually in editors you have to enter all the new<br />
data via the keyboard which would take<br />
absolutely years. although in PM3 MES two teams<br />
appear on screen and you can select with the left<br />
mouse button and swap with the right. It's that<br />
simple. If you can navigate the actual menus<br />
in the game you'll be able to update the<br />
information.<br />

Right. I am going to award<br />
this game on the merits<br />
of the package itself, not as<br />
a sequel to the original<br />
Premier Manager 3 because<br />
It's no different. Do not<br />
buy this whatever you do if<br />
you already own Premier<br />
Manager 3, Otherwise go<br />
out and buy one today!

Ihe Killing Grounds<br />
he first Alien Breed was a phenomenal<br />
success leaving gamesplayers gasping<br />
for air - and not only this as last month<br />
it was awarded 'Best Doom clone on<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong>' when we compared them<br />
ali to find out the true champion.<br />
Finally an early version of the sequel has<br />
arrived and we can now answer a question<br />
which has plagued computer journalists for years.<br />
Are sequels as good as originals?<br />
Some may argue that the developers hove<br />
dipped their toes in the water and tested the<br />
temperature, so they now know if they should put<br />
If back in. Some find it just right, some find it far<br />
too hot. (That's a good analogy - I just made it<br />
up.) If the temperature is just right a sequel may<br />
be in order, although this may stray away from<br />
The original too much. producing not so much a<br />
sequel but an entirely new game. To the other<br />
Previewed by Andy Maddock<br />
extreme, they may want to keep the basics of<br />
the original game and just add some features<br />
here and there, so the sequel may not warrant<br />
a full release. It's a difficult job to manage a<br />
sequel but If someone can do it, it's got to be<br />
Team 17.<br />
You are still Captain J I Reynolds from _Alien<br />
You can see from this screenshot that the graphics are better than Doom on the PC or Playstation<br />
SYSTEM<br />
Will you be able<br />
to make the<br />
jump or not?<br />
That's the<br />
question.<br />
haven't<br />
managed it yet<br />
but it's possible<br />
Oh no, those<br />
big beasts are<br />
gonna come<br />
around the<br />
corner any<br />
second and I'm<br />
not ready<br />
Rol I what<br />
we've seen<br />
the game is<br />
looking<br />
absolutely<br />
superb. Alien<br />

better than<br />

preview<br />
Right! I'm soaking wet<br />
through and my guns gone all<br />
funny on me. What do I do?<br />
Come on! Use your eyes.<br />
Surety you can see you are in<br />
dark tunnel - you can just<br />
make out the steps.... I think<br />
I have only seen one level sc.'<br />
far but It looks so much better<br />
than the original, it's difficult<br />
to believe they came from<br />
the same publishers. Oh,<br />
another thing. You don't have<br />
to take my word for it either -<br />
why not play it yourself. If you<br />
hook up to Team 17's World<br />
Wide Web page you can<br />
download yourself a copy<br />
You won't regret it_<br />
Watch this space for a full<br />
review soon. You may witness<br />
the coming of one of the<br />
greatest games ever on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>.<br />
Breed 3D and have awoken on<br />
the medical bay of the giant<br />
battlecruiser which was sent to<br />
destroy your previous vessel<br />
Osiris 3. This giant battlecruiser<br />
is, in fact, an alien spaceship.<br />
After hunting around you find<br />
teleporter which Instantly<br />
transports you to a nearby<br />
planet. You then re-appear<br />
in what seems like a courtyard<br />
with crumbling monuments hiding<br />
an alien base. Your job <strong>Is</strong> to<br />
explore and then destroy.<br />
As with every Doom game, the norm is for your<br />
10 weapon to dangle feebly at the foot of the<br />
screen and Alien Breed 3D 2 is no exception. The<br />
guns have been beefed up so much, you are<br />

Can you see the light in the background?<br />

Something must be lurking there so be careful!<br />
Cloh, this is a scary alien bit because it looks like a scene from the film Allen<br />
likely to feel sorry for the beasts you've I<br />
happily splattered across the wall.<br />
A feature which will undoubtedly put the finis<br />
ing touches to a superb game is a level edrtor<br />
,You will be able to design your own levels to p<br />
against friends or even upload them to Team 17<br />
homepage so other people can play them,<br />
The part you've all been waiting for<br />
obviously, how it plays and, more importantly, is<br />
better than the original? Well my answer to th<br />
question is... yes! From what we've seen th<br />
game is looking absolutely superb<br />
Alien Breed 3D 2 i5 better than Doom. If you<br />
playing Doom on the PC for half an hour and the<br />
play Alien Breed 3D, it will come clear which o<br />
is the best. After all, the Doom phase on the PC<br />
slowly passing and it may be time for the Am<br />
to get in there.<br />
Reflections<br />
As I've already mentioned, Allen Breed 3D was<br />
huge success and this is exactly the reason f<br />
producing the sequel. Team 17 have had time t<br />
reflect on what they could have put in and wh<br />
they could have taken out, so with new ideas<br />
their minds, what is In store in the future?<br />
Alien Breed 3D 2 will incorporate 16 ma<br />
levels, with a Lo-res screen resolution for<br />
standard Al200 and a Hi-res 1 xl pixel ratio<br />
accelerated machines. You can switch betw<br />
resolutions using the numeric keyboard and<br />
also reduce and enlarge the screen size to h<br />
you prefer. Also, there will be graphical touc<br />
such as light sourcing, gourad shading, and tr<br />
parent objects which should make for<br />
absolute graphical feast.

Frank \ord finishes<br />
menus off with a<br />
look at some of<br />
the more useful<br />
menu-related tools<br />
AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
MAY 1996<br />
Would you<br />
like to see<br />
the menu?<br />
ti<br />
epilogue<br />
I<br />
menus. It kind of reminds me of The Invaders<br />
with Roy Thinnes or The Fugitive with David<br />
lIII<br />
Jansen, the way the program would always be<br />
idivided<br />
into three ports and on epilogue. Well, this<br />
kis<br />
where I'm going to tell you about how to get the<br />
e most from your Workbench menus now that you<br />
t<br />
know what they all do, All the programs that help<br />
with menu use ore thankfuly shareware of one sort<br />
hor<br />
another, unlike the utilities I have seen for the<br />
e Mac which can do the some as Magic Menus, but<br />
iretail<br />
for eighty quid_<br />
dSTARTING<br />
POINTS<br />
e<br />
a So what shal we start with. Well, how about Magic<br />
o<br />
Menus since I've already mentioned it. This was<br />
written in the dim and distant post by Marlin<br />
f<br />
Korndarfer and it still performs brilliantly In case<br />
ayou've<br />
never seen it, Magic Menus allows you to<br />
n get your menus without having to move the mouse<br />
eup<br />
to the top of the screen. Instead, your menu titles<br />
pappear<br />
in a vertical block and by moving the<br />
imouse<br />
over them, you can open the menus, sub-<br />
l<br />
menus and so on. You con configure the way it<br />
looks and whether this affects normal menus (when<br />
o<br />
your mouse does travel up to the top of the screen).<br />
gThe<br />
only problem with Magic Menus is that some<br />
uprograms<br />
(like DPaint) that patch right mouse button<br />
e functions con have problems with it. However, get-<br />
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<br />
menu ope ra tion. The 'Se le ct drop a ction...• window a ppe a rs whe n you dra g a nd drop e n icon into<br />
Swertnto's ma in window a re a (ra the r tha n e ithe r the icon or tooltype d a re a s)<br />
menu, which i use an a daily basis. Forunately far MCP because it ofters more configurability, more<br />
those that only hove a small amount of memory, options, but thus also takes more memory. Of<br />
ReKeylt doesn't have to load any of the MUI course, like ReKeylt, you don't hove to load MUI's<br />
fting<br />
the esoterically-named NewObtainGIRPort<br />
o<br />
should sort out those troubles.<br />
r<br />
Next up is a MUI program called ReKeyli.<br />
ReKeylt allows the user to replace the keyboard<br />
tshortcuts<br />
used for Workbench's menu items so that<br />
h<br />
instead of Right-<strong>Amiga</strong> A being 'Select All', it can<br />
ibecome<br />
the for more useful 'Snapshot > All'.s<br />
Likewise, Right <strong>Amiga</strong> U can stop being the shortcut<br />
sfor<br />
'Unsnapshot', a function I very rarely use, and<br />
ebecome<br />
the shortcut for 'Update' in the Window<br />
libraries unless you are actually in the process of<br />
changing your preferences. And so we go an_<br />
Next we hove two competing commodities -<br />
the smal but perfectly formed MCK and the larger,<br />
but also perfectly formed MCP. Now, I prefer<br />
MCX's smallness. Okay, it's not so easy to<br />
configure, you hove to change cryptic tooltypes to<br />
be able to alter the settings, but it takes up very little<br />
memory.<br />
By controst, our coverdisk editor, Nod prefers<br />
libraries if you don't edit your settings. MCP also<br />
offers things like ToolAlias, screenmode promoter,<br />
and various other tools that would be quite difficult<br />
to configure through toollypes with MCX. Both help<br />
you with menu-related Workbench operation by<br />
allowing you to copy and paste text into the text<br />
requesters that appear when renaming or executing<br />
a command, among others, and MCX beefs up the<br />
Info requester in the Workbench menu as described<br />
in this column a couple of months ago.<br />

e<br />
AND FINALLY...<br />
s But wait, don't go. There's more. We're onto the biggies now. The two utilities information requester when you hit Right <strong>Amiga</strong> I, or select Information from<br />
othat<br />
expand the Workbench tools menu, ToolManager and Toolsdoemon, are<br />
nindispensible<br />
for serious <strong>Amiga</strong> users. ToolManager, in its current form at<br />
least, is a somewhat overcomplex commodity that adds new items to your<br />
the Icons menu, and improves on it considerably.<br />
One of the handy things it does is supply you with information on how<br />
much data is contained in a drawer. This isn't wholly accurate, but at least<br />
Tools menu. You con have animated docks, sound effects playing when you provides a guideline - handy for people copying files to floppies. Swazinfo<br />
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<br />
doesn't have any of those bells and whistles, but is easier to set up and by simply dragging the desired icon image or tooltypes into the appropriate<br />
doesn't take as much memory.<br />
section of the information window. Swazinto helps you edit those pesky<br />
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<br />
create as many new menus as you like (or that can fit on your screen) with or brackets around them? Well. Swalinfo has on automatic bracket thingy to do<br />
without submenus. Both programs make full use of Workbench's drag and this for you.<br />
drop facilities, so you don't need to laboriously type in paths to your pro- There are almost certainly more tools and commodities that can help you<br />
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<br />
into the interface window for either program. SwasInto is another utility<br />
often mentioned within these hallowed pages. It replaces Workbench's<br />
any of these commodities from your local friendly PD dealer and they are all<br />
available on Amine.<br />

sought a new <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
Magic Pack and<br />
enjoy a challenge?<br />
Paul Overaa offers<br />
some advice<br />
eople often osk how they con get started<br />
with 680x0 coding on the <strong>Amiga</strong>, so this<br />
month I thought I'd spell out o few<br />
ground rules. First and foremost it's<br />
important not to be put off by what you've heard<br />
about Assembler coding, The 680x0 chips used in<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> have instruction sets that ore quite limited<br />
and there is nothing inherently complex about their<br />
operations. Each instruction carries out some simple<br />
tosk, perhaps adding two values together or<br />
copying the contents of one memory location into<br />
another.<br />
The real problem is not the 680x0 instruction set<br />
- it's the Amigo's 0/S (operating system) itself.<br />
learning about this is a chalenge simply because<br />
there is so much to understand There is no easy<br />
road._ you've just got to sit down and work at it<br />
and, even with the right documentation, it takes<br />
ages (having said that it is real good lun).<br />
Now this doesn't mean that you bury yourself in<br />
manuals for a couple of years and eventualy surface<br />
as an <strong>Amiga</strong>-enlightened coder. learning to<br />

ADVENTURE TIME<br />
Once you ve got the hang of re-assembling the example you<br />
might also want to modify it so that it prints a number of text<br />
messages using a loop. With the fundamentals of Shell output<br />
out of the way you will then be ready to move on to something<br />
a little more adventurous. When you start <strong>Amiga</strong> coding<br />
proper, incidentally, you are likely to need the official <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
includes. Next month l'll be explaining why it's worth having<br />
the Amigo Technologies versions as well as those provided<br />
with your assembler!<br />

tnit output from thos month's example program<br />
program never works like that - the best approach<br />
is to get stuck in and then leorn as you go along.<br />
aBut, and it's a big BUT, there is absolutely no point<br />
struggling with Amigo-specific issues until you have<br />
some basic ideas of what 68k coding is all about,<br />
Therefore, your initial priority should be to get<br />
a reasonable understanding of a few common<br />
6Bk instructions [such as the move instructions which<br />
rore used to copy data between registers and<br />
memory).<br />
You should also aim to eliminate as many of the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>ipecific problems as possible in the early<br />
days and you con do this by writing general, as<br />
opposed to Amigo-specific, example code. Non-<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> specific Amigo coding? Sounds like a<br />
tcontradiction in terms until you remember that<br />
many smolt test programs will contain nothing in<br />
the way of <strong>Amiga</strong>-specific material ot all The<br />
following example for instance, though it contains<br />
just two instructions, will happily run from a Shell<br />
window and load register di with the value $40<br />

If this code is assembled into executable code it will<br />
run, although you won't see any visible output!<br />
What you can do, however, is execute these types<br />
of beginners programs (examples of which con be<br />
Found in all introductory 680x0 programming<br />
books) using a debugger. HiSoh's Devpac, for<br />
instance, can assemble such test programs and run<br />
them using the MonAm debugger - and with<br />
MonAm's help you'll be able to see the effects of<br />
various microprocessor instructions os they ore<br />
executed.<br />
Similarly, short test programs will enable you to<br />
experiment with things like program loops, decision<br />
tests, and so on, Now this may not seem like real<br />
Amigo coding, and to be honest it isn't, but it's a<br />
useful initial stage because it lets you play around<br />
with 68k instructions whilst avoiding the <strong>Amiga</strong>specific<br />
nosties that produce pitfalls in the early<br />
days.<br />
Once you've got a few weeks of practice under<br />
your belt and are happy with moving data, calling<br />
subroutines, making decision tests, and perhaps<br />
some understanding of the ways in which inform°.<br />
tion is passed to, or colected from subroutines, it'll<br />
be time to move on to the next stage. If you think<br />
this might start involving Intuition or <strong>Amiga</strong> graphics<br />
coding then you're being a bit optimistic - in fact<br />
you've got a long way to go before they appear.<br />
The best next step is to concentrate on writing<br />
some Shel-based <strong>Amiga</strong> programs that use the Shel<br />
window as output. These will doubtless be a little<br />
more involved than your early efforts but, as Amigo<br />
programs go, they will still be relatively simple.<br />
In order to send text back to the Shell window<br />
that started the program you need to identify the<br />
output handle [known conventionally as _stdout)<br />
of the Shell process. It's not a difficult job and<br />
bosically all a program needs to do is open the<br />
DOS library, and then make a call to the DOS<br />
Output() function. You moy find that the standard<br />
Amigo startup-code (which will be provided<br />
with your assembler) will actually open the DOS<br />
library for you, but if not don't despair - it's not a<br />
difficult job.<br />
Once a _stclout handle is available you can use<br />
another DOS call, Writel), to send data back to the<br />
Shel Opening libraries, moking library function<br />
calls, and printing text back at the Shell is easy<br />
once you've seen it done once, and you'll find a<br />
smal example on this month's cover disk. The<br />
source code version, called assembler _tests, has an<br />
icon which uses ed as the default tool for displaying<br />
the file, The runable version, assembler _test, doesn't<br />
have an icon so you'll need to use the Show all files<br />
Workbench option to display ii,<br />
Have a look at the code and try changing the<br />
text message and reassembling the example. If, incidentaly,<br />
you are already a C programmer then you<br />
are, of course, duty bound to change the text of the<br />
program from:<br />

Raul Overaa offers<br />
some notes about<br />
reading and<br />
writing ines from<br />
text files<br />
ARexx supports only a simple File I/O model,<br />
II but despite its simplicity it has proven to be<br />
n both useful and flexible. This is particularly so<br />
when k it comes to text files which need to be reod or<br />
written e on a line-by-line basis. Once a file has been<br />
opened<br />
e<br />
there is o function called ReodInD which can<br />
read characters from o file until it finds a newline<br />
character<br />
p<br />
(the newline, however, is NOT included in<br />
the i returned data). In other words we can reod a<br />
text n line from the file using:<br />
g<br />
iinet.teado(filthandtt)<br />
w<br />
i<br />
Another function, Writeln(), allows you to write a<br />
line<br />
t<br />
of text. WriteIn() appends a newline character<br />
at h the end of the string and the call itself has this<br />
type m of forma<br />
a<br />
doracttr_coot.Writeto(fitehanOte, Limed)<br />
n<br />
where y the returned value indicates the number of<br />
characters m written.<br />
o With any sequential file read operations it's necessary<br />
d to know when you've reached the end of the<br />
file, e and the ARexx function used for this is EON.<br />
Since r such tests ore normaly carried out as port of o<br />
n series of loop operations, most coders tend to use<br />
the NOT (-) Operator and write the ertd4file test as<br />
l<br />
port of their loop exit condition like this:<br />
a<br />
while n -<br />
10ft do<br />
g<br />
f1tt /* do something */<br />
u end<br />
han<br />
a<br />
dte)<br />
If gthe<br />
returned Boolean result is I (ie. true) then the<br />
end<br />
e<br />
of the file has been reachedl<br />
s<br />
Programs which use loops to read all the data<br />
held in a file will usualy arrange to read from the<br />
file<br />
,<br />
until the E091indicates there is no more data to<br />
rood using a framework based on:<br />
if Opants,source_nameS,'r.) lion<br />
do<br />
if Open(el<br />
o<br />
do<br />
do while .<br />

I've used a loop similar to this to create this month's<br />
example line numbering script_ You will see when<br />
you examine the code given in listing I that I have<br />
added a slight twist by providing a Yes/No mode<br />
Flog which allows the script user to choose whether<br />
line numbers ore odded to blank lines or not.<br />
The script is very easy to use. Just provide<br />
suitable source and destination file path/names,<br />
indicate whether you want blank lines numbered as<br />
wel, and the program will do all the hard work for<br />
you 'You wil., fi n d a runoble version of<br />
the script on the coverdisk. It can be executed either<br />
by using RX from a Shell window or from the<br />
Workbench (via IconX) by double-clicking on the<br />
'DoubleClickToRurfromWB' icon!<br />
If you lust want to use this script to odd ordinary<br />
line numbers, as opposed to the /•... */ comment<br />
delimited ones needed for ARexx scripts, then lust<br />
change the line which reads:<br />

Phil South ponders the Aray<br />
latest in Internet<br />
communications<br />
and hopes the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> can keep et up cr)r Anolonow<br />
first big <strong>Amiga</strong> Internet pack is on the way.<br />
T The AMIGA Surfer pock is billed as the<br />
h 'first true Internet Computer in the market",<br />
e and whilst you can quibble about whether that<br />
should be 'in' or 'on', the fact remains that the<br />
n<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> is uniquely suited to Internet uses and has<br />
e<br />
been remarkably underused in that capacity so far<br />
wThe<br />
pack consists of a fully equipped <strong>Amiga</strong> and a<br />
s set of Internet tools for a total price of DM1,199<br />
iincluding<br />
100 free on-line hours of a value of about<br />
s DM700, which is a special offer in conjunction with<br />
t<br />
IBM Global Network.<br />
h<br />
The 'complete solution' contains an Amigo 1200<br />
with hard disk, a 14,400 fax/modem, and a skin-<br />
a<br />
dord suite of productivity and Internet software. The<br />
t Internet software includes o browser For the World<br />
iWide<br />
Web, on FTP program for file transfer within<br />
n the net, on e-mail program for electronic mail, and<br />
Gan<br />
IRC program for world-wide live on-line<br />
e<br />
discussions.<br />
r The hardware part of the deal comprises of an<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> 1200 with 2Mb of RAM, a fax modem, a<br />
m<br />
telephone connection cable, and a power supply.<br />
a<br />
The productivity software included is the standard<br />
nMagic<br />
Pack, but, of course, the most interesting part<br />
yis<br />
the added Internet software in the Surfer bundle<br />
, which includes a PPP driver, the TCP/IP stack 1-Net<br />
a225',<br />
the Web browser called Mindwolker, the<br />
t graphic interface e-mail program VooDoo kith<br />
MIME support' Yipeeli, the FTP program AmilTP,<br />
l<br />
and an IRC program called AmIRC. The pack also<br />
e<br />
contains MultiTerm SE and MuItifax light,<br />
a<br />
sFALLING<br />
BEHIND<br />
tThis<br />
all sounds wonderful but I'm constantly liked<br />
, about the way the <strong>Amiga</strong> has fallen behind in the<br />
tyears<br />
it was lying fallow. A lot happened on the<br />
h<br />
Internet whilst the Amigo was sleeping, and client<br />
software has become a lot more complex and sexy<br />
e<br />
in the interim. A case in point are the rash of<br />
Internet Phone programs currently available on<br />
UNIX, PC and Mac platforms.<br />
These programs allow you to phone another user<br />
via the Internet, thus making an International call<br />
anywhere in the world for the price of a local call to<br />
your Internet POP. Although we all have the some<br />
Internet connections as a PC user, for example, we<br />
can't call anyone up as the software to do so<br />
ON YOUR TRAVELS<br />
By the way, on the subject of the Amigo and the Internet<br />
you should really check out the new <strong>Amiga</strong> Web site on<br />
http://www.amigo.de. Although a lot of it is in German at<br />

AMIGA COMPUTING<br />
MA Y 1996<br />
doesn't exist. Yet. Another<br />
example is the CU-SeeMe prc<br />
,ject launched by Cornell<br />
University. Using a simple E75<br />
gizmo called the GuickCom,<br />
produced by a company called<br />
Connectix, you can see another<br />
user, and if your Net connection<br />
is good you can also hear<br />
them. It's an Internet video<br />
phone! Now this is the coolest<br />
use for the Internet I've seen<br />
recently, and can I do it on my<br />
Amigo? NoI can't.<br />
The QuickCam is o simple<br />
parallel port device so it should<br />
be possible for someone to<br />
write some software to support<br />
it. Perhaps someone (I nominate<br />
Amigo Technologies) should<br />
make Connectix an offer to produce<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> version of the<br />
driver software and get the<br />
source code of CU-SeeMe from<br />
Cornell University and make<br />
this a revolution we can all join<br />
in. The same goes for Internet<br />
Phone. This is a software-based<br />
technology, and it should be<br />
easy to transport it to the<br />
C S e eMe<br />

Amigo. The code already exists<br />
on a 680x0 based platform,<br />
i.e. the Mac, so the port should<br />
be o matter of great simplicity. All that is needed is<br />
for someone to care enough about the Amigo taking<br />
port in these new developments to do something<br />
obout it.<br />
My point is that porting these things to the<br />
Amigo would be simple, and there are so many<br />
Amigo users out there who use and enjoy the<br />
Internet that the market for a simple device like this<br />
should be large enough to make companies take<br />
notice. Although many of these developments are<br />
software based, some require a little hardware.<br />
Also, a way of connecting a microphone and headphone<br />
to the <strong>Amiga</strong> would, perhaps, need to be<br />
looked into. Obviously, you could just plug a heodphone<br />
into your monitor and put a line into on<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> sound sampler, but perhaps a new bit of<br />
cheap hardware to make it attractive would be a<br />
good plan. A little headset like those used by telephonists<br />
would be cool too. And price? Well make<br />
the GuickCam the normal PC/Mac price of E75,<br />
make the phone headset hardware cheap, like<br />
115-25, and throw in the software for free. It's<br />
plan, right?<br />
I don't know if <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies ore aware<br />
of the immense importance of this kind of communications<br />
in the future, especially when Cable<br />

CU-SeeMe is a va ila ble for the <strong>Amiga</strong> -<br />
but only in a pa ssive pla ya ble ve rsion<br />
Companies are pulling free local calls at certain<br />
ports of the day into the hands of normal citizens all<br />
over the country. Imagine - you could phone anywhere<br />
in the world and talk for hours for free. That<br />
would be cool wouldn't it? Let's lobby Amigo<br />
Technologies for a policy on this new technology<br />
and ask them to talk Pa the relevant parties to try to<br />
hammer Out some kind of a deal, eh?<br />

upgrodes to cope with the new larger-sized<br />
images you ore rendering for print then,<br />
eh? Unfortunately, larger images ore not<br />
the only criterion when creating pictures for<br />
print. The main thing that needs to be taken into<br />
consideration is the large difference between trans.<br />
mined colour and reflected colour - the difference<br />
between looking at a picture on your monitor and<br />
o n e<br />
printed on paper<br />
One of the things that has to be borne in mind is<br />
the inability of the different colour methods to<br />
accurately represent various colours, While RGB is<br />
excelent for a wide range of reds and blues, it isn't<br />
very good at yelows. CMYK, by contrast, is a bit<br />
lax when it comes to showing the range of greens<br />
that RGB is good at.<br />
This is a problem if you ore dealing with images<br />
that will be going to a professional printer because<br />
he will need to change your imoge from its natural<br />
RGB status to a CMYK-capable format like TIFF in<br />
order to be able to print it. Oh, don't worry, hell be<br />
able to convert it, that's no problem. The problem<br />
comes if you've set your heart's desire an a very<br />
definite range of colours.<br />
SATURATION POINT<br />
Just like working with images intended for video,<br />
R GB images ore quite alien too saturated for print<br />
work Because the colours in printing are mode by<br />
laying down more colour the darker you wont the<br />
image to be„ very bright greens, reds and blues ore<br />
hard to achieve because they need the mixing of at<br />
least two of the four inks to represent, thus making<br />
them darker than desired. .<br />
y This contrast between what you want from your<br />
image and what you can achieve is called the<br />
gamut and, like over saturation in video images, it's<br />
o no-no to exceed it. Most software that printers<br />
might use for converting images to CMYK con actually<br />
handle the changes in colours required to bring<br />
the image within the gamut range of the CMYK<br />
colour method, but this can result in a dull image.<br />
With a colour critical image it's probably best, if<br />
you are giving your work to a printer, to insist on a<br />
colour proof or to at least see the image on his<br />
screen in the form it will take before printing, just to<br />
make sure it doesn't deviate too for from your original<br />
vision,<br />
So what can you do about this? Unfortunately,<br />
not a lot. Because of the Amigo's bios towards<br />
graphics for video use, the printed output side of<br />
things has been pretty much ignored. In my fairly<br />
wide experience I have not come across any way of<br />
converting an image to CMYK in a form that can<br />
still be edited ond saved out in on appropriate form<br />
on the Amigo, so you'll have to rely on other<br />
people's interpretation of what your picture should<br />
look like - at least, that is, until Phooshop becomes<br />
available...<br />

I've had a few letters from people asking<br />
me how to get runarounds working prop•<br />
erly. It seems most of you are happy to use<br />
the standard runaround tools provided by<br />
most word processors or DTP packages,<br />
but these tend to either just offer a boxtype<br />
runaround, or are hopelessly inaccurate<br />
in the way they choose to runaround.<br />
The simple answer to your problem is to<br />
use vector graphics to outline your bitmap,<br />
as these tend to give the best runaround<br />
results. Simply import your bitrnap as normal,<br />
but instead of turn text wrap on<br />
immediately, make sure your column of<br />
text doesn't butt up against the image.<br />
Next, choose your draw tool, it might be<br />
named differently in your package, but<br />
you need the tool that allows you to draw<br />
a continuous line with points along it that<br />
can be re-positioned. Then draw a line following<br />
the edge of the image you wish to<br />
wrap your text around. Don't worry about<br />
the colour of it at the moment, just keep<br />
clicking so that your line follows the edge<br />
of your image. But don't click so much that<br />
you end up with a point at every pixel,<br />
you'll be wasting your time. Next, change<br />
the colour of your line to transparent or<br />
white and make sure it is brought to the<br />
front. You will also need to make sure text<br />
runaround is set. Now bring your text box<br />
over your image and see how it looks. In<br />

our example pictures we have some of the<br />
text over a coloured background, but it<br />
would probably be best to massage such<br />
images so that there is no colour where<br />
your text is, unless you want that as a<br />
deliberate effect.<br />

guide to multimedia,<br />
Phil South looks at<br />
animated buttons<br />
and sounds<br />
happen by using the mouse, and now<br />
L ast well month look we at making talked about buttons making onimate things so<br />
IIMED that the user gets a bit of feedback for his<br />
mouse click.<br />
You'd be surprised how many Amos programs<br />
omit any kind of feedback, that is to say a visual or<br />
audible cue to confirm that a mouse click has been<br />
mode and accepted. If you make your buttons with<br />
Amos drawing commands this couldn't be easier.<br />
let's take our example program from last time and<br />

SOUND SENSE<br />
Its tempting to use the built-in sounds for oil your Amos programs, mostly<br />
because the sounds ore right there and the commands are simple<br />
Type BOOM, BELL or SHOOT and you are there I olways use them in examples<br />
because they are so easy, but you can odd other sounds to Amos very<br />
easily.<br />
Sound sampling has always been an easy technology on the Amigo. Most<br />
of the hardware you need to grab sounds is built in to the system, and with<br />
the addition of a simple I/O box you can sample 8-bit sound into the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
directly. To use your own samples, like a button on o computer keyboard<br />
being pressed, you hove to pock the samples into a sample bank (Amos Bank<br />
or ABK file), which can be loaded into an Amos program From where the<br />
samples can be played bock at any time in the program using the SAM PLAY<br />
command. Using:<br />
SAN PLAY 1<br />
for example, you will play the first sample in the bank. For really interesting<br />
multimedia with the minimum of sounds you should steal a trick from the<br />
arcade game coders and ploy back a sound at different speeds, thereby doubling<br />
and tripling the amounts of uses you can put a single sample to Use<br />
the<br />
SAN PLAT 15,1,1000<br />
Formal where 15 • maximum number of voices for best sound quality, 1 •<br />
sample name from the bank, and 1000 • samples per second, with 1000<br />
being around the lowest and 30000 or more being the highest. The only way<br />
to tell what different speeds will do to your samples is to try it and see. You'll<br />
be surprised at the amount of ideas this will give you.<br />

The basic listing sets up the zones and senses<br />
when a mouse dick has occurred. This time if we<br />
reverse the white and dark grey colours on the<br />
button it'll seem as though the button has been<br />
inverted.<br />
So for each button we need to do a redraw each<br />
time the button is activated So after the button is<br />
pressed we redraw it with the colours reversed,<br />
wait for half a second, and then redraw them the<br />
way they were, as in this example for the first<br />

We only reverse the white (colour 2) and the dark<br />
grey (colour 8) colours and leave the body of the<br />
button (colour 7) as it is. After o wait of 25 clicks<br />
(half a second in new money) we redraw the button<br />
the way it was, as if the button pops down for a<br />
second and then pops up again.<br />
It's easy to rewrite all this information onto the end<br />
of the line as you simply do a block copy and paste<br />
with the code from the original lines which drew<br />
the buttons in the first place. This saves having to<br />
laboriously retype all the data for the buttons, but it<br />
also avoids any mistakes in the data if it is identical.<br />
USE YOUR INTUITION<br />
One last thing I've reviewed o lot of extension add'<br />
ins for Amos over the years which make the program<br />
access the Intuition libraries. Don't neglect Intuitionbased<br />
programs in your search for the perfect multimedia<br />
app. One such extension is reviewed in this<br />
very issue, in fact) Multimedia doesn't hove to be<br />
carried out on custom screens using Amos, but can<br />
be made perfectly transparently with Intuition, and<br />
sound samples and other additional multimedia bits<br />
con be added. If you are really clever you can even<br />
interface the <strong>Amiga</strong> with other devices to make your<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> truly multimedia, But that's up la you and<br />
how much code bonging you want to get involved<br />
in. All the relevant data for taking this further is in<br />
the Amos manuals and the various hardware<br />
reference works.<br />
Back to our normal transmissions next month<br />
when we'll be learning how to make Amos do all<br />
sorts of clever tricks again. I'll be delving into my<br />
Amos notebooks to remind you of a few little tricks<br />
which are not in the manuals and showing you easy<br />

Paul Overaa gives<br />
you bad and good<br />
news about recent<br />
events in the <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
music scene...<br />
scene has been disappointed by the<br />
E veryone recent news connected that with Blue the <strong>Amiga</strong> Ribbon music<br />
Elit Soundworks, of Bars & Pipes sequencer<br />
and SuperJAM fame, are pulling out of <strong>Amiga</strong><br />
software development. Pulling out is not quite the<br />
right word - they've been head hunted and bought<br />
by Microsoft to develop software for the PC market<br />
place. Now, if that's not a bock-handed compliment<br />
for <strong>Amiga</strong> music software developers, I don't know<br />
what is.<br />
A few <strong>Amiga</strong> pundits are regarding the loss of<br />
Blue Ribbon Soundworks as not only a catastrophe<br />
in the music sense but as yet another indication that<br />
developers are leaving the Amigo platform in<br />
droves. Blue Ribbon Soundworks is certainly a loss<br />
the <strong>Amiga</strong> could have done without but its not the<br />
end of the world because, as far as any future<br />
development was concerned, it is hard to imagine<br />
what else could possibly be added to a sequencer<br />
like Bars & Pipes!<br />
The underlying reasons for any developer leaving<br />
the Amigo ore two-fold - money, and worry<br />
about the future survival of the machine. After the<br />
recent <strong>Commodore</strong> Amigo fiasco, everyone knew it<br />
would take time for the Amigo to re-establish itself.<br />
During this time most <strong>Amiga</strong> developers have had a<br />
hard lime and it's little wonder thot some hove<br />
thought it safest to move to other areas.<br />
HARD TIMES<br />
Now whilst the real blame for the current mess the<br />
Amigo finds itself in lies fairly and squarely with the<br />
<strong>Commodore</strong> <strong>Amiga</strong> bosses, indirectly the loss of<br />
certain key developers has actualy been our fault -<br />
yours and mine, What's happened, of course, is<br />
that whilst we've all waited for good news about the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>, none of us have been rushing out to spend<br />
money on things for their Amigo. Understandable of<br />
course - but companies selling <strong>Amiga</strong> software or<br />
hardware add-ons need people to buy things to<br />
survive. If they don't they either move to different<br />
postures (like the PC) or go under! - -<br />
The <strong>Amiga</strong>, albeit slowly, is now again on the<br />
move. <strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies, though, not getting<br />
everything right, ore trying hard to do their bit (even<br />
in these still relatively early days). What they don't<br />
need, however, are Amigo owners going around<br />
talking as though the end is nigh. In some respects<br />
you dedicated Amigo owners hold the key to the<br />
Amigo's successful re-emergence lust as much as<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> Technologies. The key is in your pocket - so<br />
if you con afford to go out and buy software and<br />
hardware odd ons then don't think about it, do itt<br />
If cash is light you con still help by spreading the<br />
word about just how good the <strong>Amiga</strong> is. Be fanatical<br />
- lust like early <strong>Amiga</strong> users were when the<br />
machine first appeared with the then stunning<br />
'Juggler' demo!<br />
The now Sound<br />
Studio progra m is<br />
going to be ono<br />
good r f o r<br />
sticking with the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong> !<br />

On the brighter side I've recently received<br />
n<br />
a Beta test copy of the OctaMED Sound<br />
Studio.<br />
4<br />
Now whilst OctaMED 6 is already<br />
without 0 doubt the best tracker program<br />
available . on the <strong>Amiga</strong>, it is immediately<br />
clear 1 that the new Sound Studio package is<br />
going S to surpass it in all respects, and one<br />
of Athe<br />
most significant and exciting new<br />
features<br />
a<br />
will be the new player mode<br />
called '1-454 Channel Mixing'. This<br />
mode can handle up to 64 virtual channels<br />
and is mostly independent of what kind of<br />
audio playback hardware is available<br />
(allowing easy support of different sound<br />
cards).<br />
Existing OctaMED users are going to get<br />
special deals on the program when it<br />
arrives later this year so, if you've not<br />
already done it, the thing to do is<br />
buy OctaMED 6 now and upgrade to the<br />
A whole host of ne w sa mple e diting fa cilitie s<br />
are be ing a ddod to gito SoundStudie progra m<br />
Sounu Studio when it arrives! OctaMED 6,<br />
incidentally, is also now available on CD<br />
and this has made it possible to include a<br />
whole host of extras with the CD version.<br />
As well as OctoMED 6 itself you'll get<br />
literally hundreds of tracker modules, over<br />
a thousand sound samples from the<br />
Walkabout Music sounds library, Midi files,<br />
and a variety of doc files and OctaMED<br />
related utilities.<br />
The Official OctaMED 6 CD also comes<br />
with a printed OctaMED 6 tutorial manual<br />
so if you have a CD-ROM drive, and are<br />
looking to get into music-making on the<br />
<strong>Amiga</strong>, this particular offering is a good<br />
way to start!<br />
OctoMED 6 is available on disk for £25<br />
from R8F Software - 01703 785680 - and<br />
on CD for £29.95 from Weird Science -<br />

as! month I described the principles behind<br />
the design of a human head. To complete<br />
this look at human anatomy, this month I<br />
will be explaining useful hints and tips on<br />
how to create realistic looking figures - that's the<br />
neck down.<br />
The principles undedined last month also work for<br />
designing the humon form, In fact, the head is a great<br />
starting point. The human form is approximately six<br />
The trick to drawing realistic looking clothing is to<br />
understand the fabric and shape of the body underneath.<br />
This all sounds a littie highbrow but believe<br />
me, the more of on understanding you hove of the<br />
subject matter, the easier it will be to emulate it on<br />
the computer.<br />
Clothing will react to the position of the body<br />
underneath. If an arm is raised the clothing will pull<br />
towards that point, and in a relaxed posture the<br />
clothing will sag. If a belt is worn it will pull and<br />
crease the garment it is over. You can add folds in<br />
the cloth by drawing darker shades below and<br />
lighter shades above. Try and think of points on the<br />
figure where clothing would crumple and fold up -<br />
the armpit for example and the groin. If you need<br />
more of an example, stand in front of the mirror<br />
and note the way your clothes fall - tight clothing<br />
will have sharper pulls and thinner folds, while<br />
baggy clothing will hove loose and large folds with<br />

plenty or I f you use the split methoa -<br />
drawing only one half of the body first and then<br />
flipping the other side - make sure you change the<br />
clothing so that it doesn't look like a simple flip.<br />
If you're body is naked or partially clad then<br />
your design work is going to be a great deal harder.<br />
Understanding muscle and bone structure and<br />
how they affect the look of a body is incredibly difficult<br />
and takes a long time to master. However,<br />
we all have to start somewhere and, therefore, I<br />
have outlined the basic muscle form of a somewhat<br />
cliched male form. I will be describing muscle and<br />
bone form in a later article but for now I recommend<br />
you visit your local library and try and find<br />
books on anatomy. Although the subject matter can<br />
be daunting, understanding it will make your<br />
design tasks a great deal easier and more fun. You<br />
will also be able to experiment with movement and<br />
action scenes<br />

and a half heads in length with certain positions used<br />
to mock body features such as the knee, elbow and<br />
waist Therefore, the best place to start is to grab the<br />
head circle and poste it down below the original head<br />
six and a half times.<br />
With frontal views, and providing the subject matter<br />
is not moving, you realy only need to design one side<br />
After finishing the first half you con simply cut, poste<br />
and Rip it to the other side After pasting the circles<br />

mill<br />
•<br />
down below the head it is best to trace on outline of the<br />
main torso and legs - arms, bands and feet can be<br />
added later on.<br />
The shoulder ond top of the orm should meet at the<br />
middle of the first circle in the actual body, the groin<br />
should end at the junction between the third and fourth<br />
circle, and the knee should, approximately, be inbetween<br />
the filth and sixth circles. You con adjust these<br />
positions slightly but try and keep as close as possible<br />
to the guides.<br />
Next you con add the arms. The elbow should come<br />
between the second and third circle arid the hand starts<br />
between the third and fourth circle alongside the groin<br />
- if you want proof stand up and try it, A common<br />
mistake with the arm is to bring the shoulder out too<br />
for Keep the point where the shoulder meets the arm in<br />
line with the widest paint on the thigh. If you follow this<br />
procedure you'll find that the armpit point can be<br />
placed accurately, using only the width of the cam as a<br />
reference.<br />
As for the hands, leave them until last. Hands and<br />
feet are certainly one of the most difficult elements or<br />
the human form to design an a computer - making<br />
them look realistic is even harder. Don't get bogged<br />
down in detail. Finish off the main body first and then<br />
odd the more intricate parts at the end<br />
With the main body structure complete you can then<br />
begin to add clothing Of any). Although this article is<br />
realy only concerned with the human form, it is worthwhile<br />
mentioning clothing as it con make or break<br />
figure. The shape of a body is fairly static, but odd<br />
clothing and shape and form become a little more<br />
chaotic.

even worse if there are bits of kit which look like<br />
e<br />
they might be potential causes for your problem.<br />
But r more often thon not this 'problem' can be quickly<br />
h traced to one simple thing - your edit videotape<br />
a is protected from recording! This means the<br />
protection s tab in the rape is either missing, broken<br />
off, r or in the wrong position, depending on the<br />
Format e of tape you use. What's even worse is when<br />
you've taped over the missing tab hole and the<br />
l<br />
problem is still there, only to Find later that the tope<br />
has<br />
e<br />
come unstuck or got dimpled so the VCR still<br />
thinks a the video-tape is record protectedl I've seen<br />
these s problems happen on numerous occasion, and<br />
often e to people who should have known better.<br />

An<br />
t<br />
equally silly situation is the basis for one of my<br />
most embarrassing video moments. I'd been asked<br />
to<br />

video an important occasion which had to run to<br />
schedule, i and something appeared to have gone<br />
very c wrong with the video equipment Everyone<br />
was y waiting impatiently as I searched frantically for<br />
the g problem. In the midst of stripping down the<br />

recorder, some wag sarcasticaly suggest-<br />
i<br />
ed that taking the lens cop off might help. Moral -<br />
don't panic. Check all the simple things first before<br />
p<br />
tearing the equipment apart And then check them<br />
, (lain because you're already panicking!<br />
Now for something you might think strange (but<br />
which I think is true). Call me insane, but I believe<br />
video equipment can be adversely affected by the<br />
people who use it. Ten years ago Gavin, the guy<br />
who started me out in video, used to stand by our<br />

One of the misunderstandings I often come across is that it's possible to edit direct from and to an edit master<br />
and even do things like fades and dissolves, Well, think about it! How can you possibly read, convert, move,<br />
effect, return, convert and re-record video that fast, even if you could replace it into the exact spot it came<br />
from less than a 50th of a second ago. On a moving tape? Forget it! I've been hearing inexperienced editors<br />
asking why they can't do this, but it never goes away. I guess it will eventually change to "Why con I read<br />
Mpeg from my hard disk, change it, and send it back in real time to where it just came from?" Maybe it might<br />
be possible, but only when time and space become the some thing.<br />

tab pockoge has a bosh at a space ship. Over<br />
the next few issues I'll be taking you through the<br />
whole process from concept and initial design right<br />
through to surfacing and scene construction.<br />
However, before we embark on this epic journey it's<br />
wel worth running through the ground rules of translating<br />
on all too familiar format into a believable<br />
scene.<br />
The first step on the road is put the mouse aside<br />
and pick up pencil and paper. The first mistake<br />
every new intergalactic newbie makes is to rush<br />
headlong into Modeller and instantly start slopping<br />
shapes together.<br />
Before you do any designing take a moment or<br />
two to think about exactly what you're trying to<br />
achieve. <strong>Is</strong> the ship big or small? What kind of<br />
manoeuvres and interaction will your creation be<br />
expected to achieve? <strong>Is</strong> it a bad guy or a good guy?<br />
These ore just a few of the basic questions you<br />
should ask before you even start thinking about the<br />
overal look of your masterpiece. To help you answer<br />
them, here are a few basic sci-fi, but more importantly<br />
psychological, cornerstones of believable space<br />
craft.<br />
DESIGN SIZE<br />
The first question is one of scale. Are you designing<br />
a huge freighter or just a smal fighter? If you're opting<br />
for a fighter you'll require on obvious cockpit<br />
area to help clarify scale. More importantly, you'll<br />
need large control surfaces or wing sections to<br />
enhance the feeling of high manoeuvrability. fighter<br />
planes have large swept bock wings, therefore viewers<br />
expect the same high speed look and feel from a<br />
space croft The fact that a space craft needs<br />
thrusters rather than wings has nothing to do with it.<br />
A house brick would be just as manoeuvrable as the<br />
sleekest body shape in deep space, but that's not the<br />
issue - it's all about perception.<br />
The most important thing about a ship's shape is<br />
POSSIBILITIES AND PRACTICALITIES<br />
Assuming you've decided on the nature of your<br />
beast, the next step is to think long and hard<br />
about practicalities. Will your ship need to dock<br />
with others or maybe land on an alien planet? It's<br />
absolutely vital that you run through all the possibilities<br />
in advance. The one thing you don't want<br />
to do is compromise the story telling because your<br />
creation doesn't allow for it.<br />
Another all important consideration for most<br />
people is polygon count. During the conceptual bit<br />
it's all too easy to run amuck designing massively<br />

its psychological affect. Remember, you're not just a<br />
designing, you're actually delivering a visual<br />
narrative. If it looks mean, it is mean._<br />
Next up comes the good guy/bad guy question. If<br />
your ship is a bad guy it's gal to look the part.<br />
Again, this is simply a matter of psychology.<br />
Basicaly, there are two main styling techniques for<br />
both large and small scale design. For<br />
Freighters/spoce cruisers the general rule of thumb is<br />
that bad guys have a very angular look with sharp<br />
aggressive protrusions and a generally more alien<br />
appearance. Good guys, on the other hand, are generaly<br />
more rounded and have a slightly softer, more<br />
organic look When it comes to fighters the<br />
complete ships that taut: rendering problems further<br />
down the line. What if you need ten ships on<br />
screen simuitaneously, what if you need to show<br />
the ship hurtling over a complex 30 landscape,<br />
will your machine take the strain? And if not, what<br />
can you afford to sacrifice in the original design?<br />
Next month we'll run through the process of<br />
converting your creation from paper into a basic<br />
3D design. In the subsequent issue we'll cover the<br />
importance of detail and how best to fake it with<br />
the aid of textures. •<br />
•<br />
differences are usualy more subtle, but having said<br />
that they tend to be more stringently applied.<br />
Basicaly, good guys tend to be more don like with<br />
large control surfaces and smooth sexy lines_ In<br />
short, the kind of ship every sell respecting sci.li fan<br />
would kill to take for a test drive. Bad guys, on the<br />
other hand, tend to opt for a much more predatorial<br />
look with undertones of either insects or birds of<br />
prey.<br />
Again, this plays on inherent fears in the human<br />
psyche. Creepy crowlies, huge vicious flying creo,<br />
tures with fangs and talons. Perhaps the best example<br />
of this is the innumerable number of bad guys flying<br />
about in ships with down swept, hawk-like<br />
wings.<br />
As mentioned earlier, these are simply rules of<br />
thumb. Essentially, it's a case of knight in shining<br />
armour fights dragon - the only thing you want to<br />
avoid is obvious repetition_ The acknowledged king<br />
of 3D space simulation, Ron Thornton, bases the<br />
majority of his designs on food - which given Ron's<br />
real world proportions isn't entirely surprising<br />
However, even if you examine Ron's masterful<br />
designs, these bosic themes still hold true. His bad<br />
dies, although generaly organic regardless of scole.<br />
all shore an inherent predatorial look, often displaying<br />
shark-like fins, squid-like tendrils, or perhaps spider-esque<br />
construction. Again, all phobia-inducing<br />
premonitions which you certainly wouldn't want to<br />
discover swimming about in your bathtub.
