Atari Computing Reader Disk # 2
===========================================================================
Compilation (c) Renegade Publishing Limited 1998.
What's on the disk?
-------------------
We're delighted to present two heavyweight exclusive editions to
complement articles in this issue:
Thing v1.09e
------------
Exclusive edition
Shareware
Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder
The brand new and eagerly awaited English release of this premier
Shareware Desktop for TOS and compatible operating systems.
Thing offers animated icons, background images, group files, ST-Guide
on-line help, an auto-locator, long filename, MultiTOS, Drag&Drop, Kobold,
ALICE, TOS2GEM and AV protocol support along with many other state of the
art features.
Thing is a modular desktop which allows the user to assign their favourite
utilities. In practice this means you need to install a file viewer in
order to read files from the Desktop. Since you'll probably have ST-Guide
installed to read the on-line help it's the ideal choice.
Cystal Atari Browser (CAB) v1.5
-------------------------------
Exclusive edition
Freeware
Alexander Clauss
CAB is currently the only graphical HTML document browser available for
the Atari platform. Happily it's also a full featured, stylish GEM
application, offering complete HTML2, most HTML3 and many NetScape
features. Includes ST-Guide format hypertext help, fully configurable via
stylish GEM interface.
This latest release now downloads text before images which makes it
possible to scroll through the page and follow links without hanging
around to download unwanted pages. The mouse pointer changes to a pointing
finger and displays the link in the window status line and animated GIFs
are supported.
STOS Compiler Fix version v1.0
------------------------------
PD
Les Greenhalgh
STOS officially only supports TOS versions up to TOS 1.62 but this fix can
insert tables for up to 11 different TOS versions into STOS programs at
compile time automatically, which means your compiled programs can run
equally happily on a TOS 1.0 ST and the latest Falcon TOS 4.04
AVR and SYN format samples
--------------------------
(c) Atari Computing
(c) Martin Milner
This sample collection was created using Sound Chip Synth to accompany the
review in this issue. The AVR files can be played using Atari's own System
Audio Manager (SAM) and many other utilities. The SYN files are for use
with Sound Chip Synth.
Did you hear anyone say "Goodbye"?
----------------------------------
Author
Donald A. Thomas, Jr. (10/4/96)
On Tuesday, July 30, 1996, Atari Corporation presented its shares to JTS
Corporation - a disk drive manufacturer. Atari moved out of its Sunnyville
home without saying "Goodbye" - read all about it.
