GEMMA goes PD
 
 

Paul Jones has recently informed me that due to the other members of the programming team being able to spend less and less time on GEMMA, he has now released the latest version of GEMMA (1.72) as PD, including the source files and they're both on the Reader Disk. If you would like to get involved with ongoing GEMMA development get in touch with Paul by email at:

Networld for STiK/STiNG

Networld is a new STOS extension which enables STOS and HiSoft BASIC programs to interface with STiK/STinG and access the Internet!
This means you can use STOS programs to send or collect email, transfer files using FTP, and so on. Theoretically you could program a multi-player game using the internet to interact between players! The HiSoft BASIC version is on the Reader Disk



Falcon Extensions Update

Anthony Hoskins has recently restructured his Falcon extensions to not only add extra commands, but to group them more logically and make them much more compatible with ST and STe machines. The following extra facilities are now available:
 
 

There is a new Sprite Engine under development. It is primarily for the Falcon, (especially it's 640x200/240 by 16 colour video mode), but is also going to be compatible with the ST/STe. Anthony is also hoping it will eventually be able to work in 256 colour modes as well. The new engine is compatible with standard STOS sprite banks and may eventually use the Blitter where available.

Hopefully we'll be able to include the interpreter versions some of the updated extensions on next issue's Reader Disk. In the meantime if you'd like more information you can contact Anthony at:
