Several  other members are already offering the pick of their PD collections  to
any new members who need them, so I thought I'd do the same.

The  arrangement  is that any KelAUG member who wants a copy/ies of  any  disc/s
from my list should send me enough discs to cover the request,  plus  sufficient
postage  for their return.  Send your discs in a padded Jiffy bag and I'll  then
return it to you with your choice of PD discs.

I've haven't updated the list for some time now, so there will *lots* more discs
added to it in time for KelAUG 11.  (Mostly graphics progs, WP and text editors,
utilities, etc.)

                                 -----oOo-----


I'm afraid I'll have to put a few limits on the service so that it won't take up
too much of my time.


1> this service is for New Members / Newcomers only.  Any other members who  are
   interested are welcome to contact me and set up a swap, as per normal.

2> please don't ask for more than 4 discs at any one time.

3> the  requests will be returned on the discs you send (dodgy  discs  =  dodgy
   copies),  and  with the stamps you send (not enough stamps = an  Insufficient
   Postage charge from Postman Pat).

4> be  aware that some PD will only run on certain machines or  set-ups  (mono,
   colour,  STe-only, etc), and that there just ain't enough hours in the day to
   sort  out PD problems *and* put the mag together...  Any problems  should  be
   described in detail and sent in to the Q&A Column.

5> please read the list carefully:  some programmes take up more than one  disc,
   and  others  are on extended format discs that your drive might not  be  able
   to handle.


                     POSTAGE : The Important Part : POSTAGE
                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A  disc  weighs 20 grammes (on average),  and a Jiffy bag adds another 10  -  20
grammes to the total, so....

          1 - 2 DISCS = 20p / 26p in postage (1st or 2nd class)

          3 - 4 DISCS = 31p / 39p       --------"-------

Send your requests (including the essential discs and return postage!) to:


     >>>  John Weller, Flat 1, 28 Victoria Road, Bournemouth, BH1 4RR  <<<

                                 DISCMAGS

  An excellent discine!  Covers the demo and games-coding  scenes,  plus
  news and reviews, humour, and lots, lots more - recommended!

  UNDERCOVER 11 (March '98) - German demo scene mag - in English.

  ATARIPHILE 3,  5.  A very good-looking HTML-based zine for the serious
  end of the Atari world. Now sadly R.I.P.

  ATARI TIMES 9,  10,  11,  12,  13, 14 (July '98) on-line HTML mag that
  needs CAB or HTML Browser (see the Utilities section) to be read

  pretentiousness.  It only ran for one issue, and I put together the ST
  version  of  it  with the TOMS  shell.  Includes  computer  art,  some
  original Gifs, and the Speed of Light v3.1 pic viewer.

  ST NEWS 9.3, 9.4.

  ST+ # 16, 17  - slick shell, slow as hell; shame about the content...

  KelAUG - 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10. That name rings a bell...



                        DTP, WORD PROCESSING, etc.

  (Rich Text Files - ASCII files that hold formatting and style data.)

  EDITH PROFESSIONAL v1.221P - A very nice text editor / word processor.
  Was limited Shareware, is now Freeware.

  7-UP WORD PROCESSOR / TEXT EDITOR - looks competent,  but it uses GDOS
  and is more of a text editor than a proper WP.


                                TEXT FILES
                                ~~~~~~~~~~

  THE  JARGON  FILE  2 - a double-disc dictionary of  hacker  slang  and
  usage.(And  that's  'hacker'  in the original sense  of  the  word;  a
  dedicated enthusiast rather than a snotty kid breaking and  entering.)
  Enquire  within  for a superb overview of the Heroic Age  of  computer
  culture.   This is a PD text version (over 1 Mb of text) of an ongoing
  mainframe  project  at  Stanford  University  in  the   US,   recently
  published in hardback at £20. Highly recommended! * 2 DISCS *

  PHRACK - Amerikan phreaking (telephone hacking) discmags.

  MARK TWAIN'S ESSAYS

  WB YEATS' POETRY


                          GRAPHIX, SCANNING, etc
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  MUSHROOM GRAPHICS UTILITIES - Convert to IMG (from Neo,  Degas,  etc),
  Degas Save (Screen grabber),  IMG_SNAP.ACC,  DeLuxe Slideshow II  (all
  resolutions  and most pic types),   PicSwitch v0.7  (converts  from/to
  almost any format),   IMG_Show (an IMG slideshow prog,  hurrah!), Mono
  Emulator   v5.O  (STE compatible),  IMG Quick  View  (scroll   through
  larger-than-screen size IMG pix),  IMGPRINT,  WIPES (hi- res slideshow
  with  excellent fades and merges between pix.  Inc    GFA  source).All
  files uncompressed.

  MVG  v1.30:  MultiViewer  (Graphica) v1.30 - American  Shareware  mono
  graphics  and  clip  art  manipulator.   Has  excellent  options   for
  dithering,  manual/auto  resizing of larger than screen-size IMG  pix,
  blocks, brighter/darker, pic conversion, and lots more.

  PAD  v2.4  -  excellent German vector programme  with  bezier  curves.
  Accepts many formats, including GEM3.

  JCVIEW  - an excellent prog for working on mono clip  art.  Lettering,
  boxes,  lines, etc can be added, pix trimmed to size and resized, etc.
  A very well presented programme. Mono only.

  FRACSURF 2 - amazing P.D prog that generates fractal landscapes -  can
  change viewpoint,lighting,  sea-level,  etc.  You can save screens  as
  Degas pix and create animations where the camera seems to fly over the
  landscape.

  MANDLEBROT SLIDESHOW - a good set of Mandlebrot fractals.

  KOSMIC  4 - - colour art utility for generating amazingly  psychedelic
  pictures.  (Ideal for producing backgrounds for title  screens,  etc.)
  Was  Shareware,  now Freeware.  By the multi-talented David  Henniker.
  * comes on 2 discs *

  ARCHIVARIUS v2.2 - a mono-only utility for cataloguing and/or  viewing
  clip art discs.  This is *so* good!  The only drawback is that it only
  recognises the German PAC picture format,  but you can save out a text
  file  of  pic filenames from a disc,  and add individual  comments  to
  them.

  GEMVIEW v3.06 - a utility for converting from just about ANY  computer
  graphics format (on any machine) to another.  Colour or mono  display.
  GEMview can be used to convert an entire folder of pix from one format
  to  another,  but the best part is that any operations it performs  do
  *not* alter the picture's colour depth.  Thus,  you can (for  example)
  display  and  alter a Truecolour Gif on a mono monitor  and  save  the
  altered file as a Truecolour Tif, Gif or whatever.

  KADINSKY v1.51 - one fine German art programme!  Shareware.   Bitmap +
  vector. (2 discs)

  CRACK  ART - German,  low res only,  one of the best colour art  progs
  I've ever seen.

  FRACTAL2, FRACTBIN, FRACT_M, FRAC_ANI, GFA MANDEL, MANDEL_F, MANDSHOW.

  JP_ART (colour),  MANDEL (colour),  TRUCHET (mono),  FRACTBIN  (mono),
  MANDLBOX  (colour),  HENDY MANDY  (colour),  MONOWORM  (mono),  SURFAC
  (mono).  These  are all small progs that show off different  graphical
  effects. Recommended!

  from different angles. Low res or mono. Includes my own demo.

  MANDLEBROT SLIDESHOW

  HPCHROME v2.2 & BJCHROME - Shareware from Martyn Dryden  for producing
  colour prints on a mono HP Deskjet or Canon Bubblejet  printer.   Will
  need 4 cartridges (cyan, yellow, magenta and black).

  CHEZ  PEINTRE - a very tastefully done slideshow showing  a  Victorian
  woman  undressing  on a bed.  (Was this 'What The  Butler  Saw'?)

  PIC  SWITCH v1.01 - a later,  and 'thank you' version of the  one-time
  definitive ST pic convertor. This is so different to the original that
  it's  best seen as another programme.  It runs in mono or  colour  and
  accepts  virtually any picture format,   from any  machine  (Mac,  PC,
  Amiga,  etc).  Pix  can then be converted to mono and saved as an  IMG
  file  (but  only if running in mono - no save option  in  colour),  or
  dithered in  many different ways and printed.  Very,  very  good,  and
  produces superb printouts.

  More GERMAN FRACTALS = Chaos Calc v 2.5, Mandlebrot Power (both run in
  mono).

  PHOTOCHROME  4 by Douglas Little - a 'software 24-bit  graphics  board
  for   the  STE'.  This  beautiful PD prog can  display  Targa  (24-Bit
  Truecolour   screens (16 million colours!),  GIF files and  VidiChrome
  digitised  'RGB' colour separations (4096 colours),  and save them  in
  Spectrum  512/4096,   PCS-ST/PCS-STE,  Super HAM and  STE  PhotoChrome
  formats.  Uses  interlacing and barely noticeable flicker to give  the
  impression  of  far more colours than the STe should ever be  able  to
  display. A  marvellous, marvellous prog!

  GIF PIX - colour = Apollo,  Apollo 9,  Astronomer, Challenger, Domain,
  Earth,  Earth1,  Earth2,  EarthR, Fashion, Fisheye, Flamingo, Fractal,
  Hugo14,  Hugo18,  Leaves, Rainbow, Vase, Waves. A mixture of Space pix
  and rather stylish ray-traced (?) images.

  FERRET  GIF - very large (650K) greyscale pic of the American  black-
  footed  ferret.  Scanned  from a colour illustration and converted  to
  greyscale on the PC

  GERMAN PD/SHAREWARE:  GEMFRAC v2.0 - excellent mono (+colour?) fractal
  generator.  LIFE  M90  - a very good mono version of  Conway's  'Life'
  simulation, with large screen and many readymade objects/patterns.

  SPEED  OF LIGHT v3.8 - a superb GIF and JPEG viewer (+  more!)  that's
  American shareware.  This is an amazing piece of work that uses inter-
  lacing to mimic 256 colours. The display isn't as good as Photochrome,
  but you can filter the pix,  save them in different formats, alter the
  RGB contrast,  resize them,  etc,  etc. This version runs in colour or
  mono.

  FLI/FLC  PLAYER  - a beautiful piece of PD that allows  you  to   view
  animation files in the PC Autodesk Animator format in any res on   the
  ST or Falcon. (Animations run in a desktop window.) Superb!

  EC PAINT - simple but good mono art prog that can load and use Calamus
  fonts in its pix.

  MGIF  v5.01 - French prog that loads,  converts,  displays and  prints
  just about any picture file,  including JPG.  Allows you to alter  the
  contrast and brightness,  apply lots of filters,  and has a  beautiful
  option  to  give  any  colour or greyscale pic  the  look  of  an  oil
  painting.   Plus  lots  more.   (See  review  in  KelAUG  10)   Highly
  recommended!

  BMV4 - Bitmap View v4 - a colour-only prog from France.  A complex and
  potentially  rewarding prog that I can't use because it only  runs  in
  colour...  Needs the Parx Modules from the next disc. DIABLO - runs in
  colour  or mono and allows you to view colour pix,  convert  them,  or
  make  thumbnail  versions of a folder full of pix onto the  one  page.
  Text can be attached to the pix,  but the Shareware restriction  means
  that  any manipulated pix will have a discreet diamond pattern  across
  them.  I'd  register for this if I had the money...  I met the  French
  guys who coded it (and the Parx M&E modules) at the London Atari  Show
  this  year,  and they're really nice people - just like you and  me  -
  rather than a faceless software house.

  PARX  M&E MODULES - a set of auto-extracting compressed  modules  from
  the buzzing French graphix scene.  Includes scanner drivers,  filters,
  import/export modules,  conversions,  etc,  etc,  etc.  Professionally
  programmed,  and  can only be used with programmes that support  these
  modules - see disc above and below.

  PICCOLO  v1.0 - a French picture viewing / converting prog  that  uses
  the  Parx  M&E modules listed above.  Comes with a small  set  of  the
  modules,  but  will work better with the full set.  Runs in  mono  and
  colour.
