½brush/thanatospmc╗
Is it a drowned bird??? Is it a
salami-and-mustard-sandwich??? No.
It's Static Bytes who, after nights of
hard work (??? -ed), is proud to
½brush/cliphat╗
present to you: The Official
Eurochart, together with EuroNews and
Gallery.
--------------------------------------
Just one little note: If you think,
that the Euronews-text is a little
weird this time, please consider the
fact that tonight, DENMARK won the
European football championships, with
a stunning 2-0-victory against the
German World Champions.
--------------------------------------
We can't say, that the response on our
taking over the charts has been
overwhelming. As you'll notice in the
list of voters, only 122 people have
voted. But then again, the Eurochart
has been delayed for 6 months now,
counting from the last Crusaders
Eurochart. It seems, though, that our
giving away a free advertisement to
all voters in this issue has helped a
lot!
Still, it's a bit disappointing, that
we've received NO clip-art before the
Hurricane party...
--------------------------------------
In the intro, released at the
Gathering in Lillestroem in Easter
'92, we said, that the new Kefrens
were going to make the Eurochart
together with us. But, as many of you
have noticed, the new Kefrens decided
to drop out. According to an intro,
they "didn't think, making the
Eurochart would improve their
skills"... Well, that's under-
standable, as Kefrens has the power of
the Ankh, there's not much they can do
to improve their skills from their
high level! BUT, this has obviously
NOT delayed the release of The
Official Eurochart.
--------------------------------------
In the before-mentioned intro we
promised, that Dr. Outtasight of
Crusaders would continue writing his
Ken-stories, but as we, after writing
to him twice, haven't got any
Ken-story-scroll from him, you'll have
to live with a scroll written by
Cutcreator instead. Everyone who is
able to understand the meaning of this
scroll will win a huge prize, by the
way!
--------------------------------------
Some words about the code: As we did
not get (and, by the way, didn't WANT
to get) the original code from
Crusaders, the coding is totally new,
though much of the Eurocharts looks
like in the "old days". As the code
is quite new, there might still be
some bugs, even though we've performed
quite thorough testing on all parts.
Especially when run from harddisk, the
Gallery and Euronews can act a little
weird, but at least it doesn't
crash...
(or does it? -ed)
As all main graphics are loaded
immediately, 512 Kb users might have
some "minor" problems running the
Eurochart... At the risk of being too
rude, all we can say is: Go get a RAM
expansion.
Anyway, we'd VERY much like your bug
reports, or in general, comments to
our Eurochart. Just send them with
your votes.
