hree buttons are better than two mir a break from configuration, organisation.and cogitation 0 and his take month a look I've at decided a handy to take product that. although it doesn't really need a whole page's worth of review, deserves some recognition. The item in question is Ckisteiner's three button 400dpi mouse. Looking Just like the onginal Mega mouse, this one fits nicely into the palm of your hand and comes equipped with one more than the usual number of buttons. But what is the point of having a third mouse button? For a start there are actually several programs that use a third mouse button including Directory Opus. Hisoft's DiskMagic, and many other directory managers. But in addition to these programs there are a host of PD and shareware utilities that are either specifically geared towards using the middle mouse button, or have middle mouse button functions built into them. Some examples that spring to mind include our CoverDisk item MultiCX which lets you use the middle mouse button to cycle screens, which is much easier than the left Amiga-m combination or going up to the top-right corner of a big screen. Most of the other big commodities will also have some provision for MMB screen cycling or multi-file selection, where Instead of having to bold down the shift key you use a mouse button. Commodities like YAK have so many items to configure you could probably do with a 23 button mouse! Finally, the Gasteiner three button mouse also comes with a nice long lead and you cant beat it for value at only E 12.95. Also groovy this month is the latest version of the aforementioned MultiCX. Virus alert! It doesn't seem like John Veldthuis ever sleeps. No sooner have you got round to downloading v6.56 ol his superb VirusChecker program, there's another version out. This time it's 6.57 and it's angry. Well, possibly not, but if you want to ensure that your hard drive is safe from even the newest viruses then get this. More than anything, this release fixes bugs from earlier versions but it does cover 49 different viruses and their relatives.

The next program is actually a patch to the ASI.nbrary that comes with Workbench 3.0 or 3.1. It won't work if you have an older version of Workbench, and the authors haven't tested it with a processor more humble than a 68020, so there's no guarantee it will run on a 68000-based machine. This patch gives added functionality to the three requesters ASL provides, namely the standard file requester, the fonts requester arid screenmode requester. Changes are made using the provided Mill-based preferences program and you can set such things as having the requesters centred on your mouse, Me active window or screen, or at the top-left corner of the active window or screen. You can also make sure the file requester puts the directories at the top of the file list, rather than at the bottom which always seemed strange to me. Lastly, but not least, a boot utility was brought to my attention when trawling the net for stuff for a CyberVision card The utility in question is designed to show a picture instead of that boring black screen as Workbench loads. The utility is caned Pic Boot and it handled pretty much every1FF image I threw at it loading 1024 x 768 images in the blink of an eye. thanks to the accompanying UnPackilBM Cool which decompresses 1FF picture files, making them load a lot faster. PicBoot is equally at home on an ECS or AGA machine or on a machine that has an IZTO graphics card like the CyberVision or Picasso. It will fade in the picture and fade it back out once Workbench is loaded . C . . q • The bottom line Product: MegaMouse Plus Suppler: Gasteiner Tel: 0181-345 6000 Price: E 12.95
