****************************
8 Bit Atari Page by Ivo van Poorten
~ ~~~ ~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~~
Not maintained by me these pages cover the 8 bit formats of Atari machines and
are very comprehensive. Nearly everything you could hope to find is contained
within these pages.
****************************
What to expect in the future
~~~~ ~~ ~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~~~
Some structural changes are likely to appear in the next months. I have
introduced an announcements page where you can tell the World of anything you
have to announce. Please send news of updates to your programs, Atari stuff
for sale, and any other Atari announcements here (NOTE : Commercial companies
should send information on products to be included in here and in the news
sections).
Also coming soon will be a monthly editorial. In this I will try and sum up the
month past and to give my opinions on how I saw things for Atari at that time.
Hopefully I will be able to look back over many good developments in my pages
and summarise them as they happened.
There is an outside possibility of starting a programmers and/or MIDI section in
these pages but this is as yet undecided. I will judge whether or not to do
this based on the kind of response I have. I do not want to repeat any of the
good work done in these fields however by other Web page writers such as
Christer Gustavsson (Where is the response for these pages?)
More support is needed for the questions and answers pages, although initially
successfull people just stopped posting their questions. Although the odd one
is still coming and answers are still forthcoming. Please support this, it is
of benefit to anyone who uses it.
The Jaguar section should have a lot more news, pictures and reviews in the
future. I have tracked down a fair bit of news and am in contact with a few
companies now and hope to get news from them on there products.
Both the ST and Falcon sections should contain much more news in the future,
along with more of the best PD/Shareware, and PD/Shareware reviews. I should
have several demos hopefully in the near future for games coming out on these
formats.
The Lynx section is to continue to get reviews and I will update the news as and
when I get it. Sorry about the lack of updates recently, more to come.
Expect more links to Atari related pages in the future. There will be more
newsletters, documents, updates to the FAQ's.
Expect further reviews from Andy and Frank, along with myself (watch out for
the Apex Media review). Hopefully I can include more screenshots, and do a few
program tutorials. Nick Peers of ST Format and Holger Kipp have offered to
support these pages with contributions in the future.
Please write with your ideas, critisms, comments, submissions (software, news, reviews, questions, etc), to me and don't forget that I am now the official main
tainer of the Atari FTP list originally by Hallvard Tangeraas. All updates to this list should now be sent to me.
Thank you and see you with the updates to these pages next month!
