Well as the coder of this new mag I
better say a few words concerning the
production of ±13'Headline'×.
The diskmag code was developed as you
might already have noticed after the
same concept as RAW. Personally I am
in the opinion that the layout of RAW
is absolutely the best of all the
available diskmags. This mainly
because you can scroll the screens
softly, while listening to a nice
atmospherical song, and only look at
quality graphics. Our intensions
concerning the 'Headline' production
is just the same.
The 'Headline' project began about
three or four months ago. I think it
was me who long had the idea of
making such a mag. Around christmas
1992 I just started to program what I
would call the program structure -
mainly a complete plan over how I
would call up the functions in a
system. The system itself should
also be easy to develope further on
in the future. But since we (Bcr &
me) were the only ones in our
nameless group, the programming had a
long delay. Some months later when
we got 8 more members in our group
(the BEST ones from Atomic) Stone
Arts suddenly came to life. Now the
mag project was reopened and I had to
program the rest of it. But also
during the process of coding this
mag, I faced a ±12problem× wich gave me a
lot of headache (well..almost!). I
simply won't bother you with any
boring details, but take a good
advice and ±12NEVER-EVER USE THE
BYTEKILLER PACKER/DEPACKER!×
The packer/depacker which is used now
is ±12StoneCrackerV2.99×. This packer is
probably one of the best packers
available for good and fast text
packing/depacking.
The next issue of Headline will
probably feature some small
adjustments, like the option to
select modules from the menupanel,
new menugfx, more fonts, and maybe
even an editor tool which makes it a
lot easier to write articles and
advertisements. I will also make an
option to load hi-res 16 color
pictures (this I didn't add now
because there were NO graphics to
use!!). Still I'm a little bit
concerned that everybody will
understand the Prog. and Mode
function, but if you don't please
read the help manual!
If anybody for any reason wonders how
long the ±12modules× are, the ones used
in this issue are 135K(125 propacked)
and 120K (105 propacked). Maximum
module length now can be somewhere
about 150-170K I think if it ought to
work properly on an A500 wiht 512K
fake-fast ram. The modules are
packed with prorunner, and ofcourse
also played with the prorunner
replayroutine.
±13Headline× should work on most Amiga
computers and should easily been
installed on your ±12harddisk×. Just
make sure to use the right
assignments.
If any serious ±12software bugs× should
occure, please let me or the main
editor know immediately. Your
participation will be highly
appreciated.
Now enjoy your reading, and be sure
to catch our ±12next issue×.
Are you interested in dropping me a
letter for swapping or anything else
just write to the following address:
In the next issue I will give you my
Internet address. (But I'm usually
around the Amiga channels!)
