1992 / 1995
Welcome to the Re-issue of Lunchtime
Three. Firstly - Why? Well basically the
software was showing it's age, it wouldn't
run on the RISC PC nor would it run from Hard
Disc or Archive as do later issues. In fact
I am releasing all five issues updated since
none work properly with the RISC PC.
Although the magazines now operate on
a RISC PC, they appear in letter box mode
bacause LT is in mode 12, a T.V. resolution
mode. There are several ways of fixing
this:-
1) Fiddle with the monitor controls.
2) Get a mode definition file from
somewhere (most PD sources will fix you up)
for a full screen mode 12.
3) Get "Game On" from the ARM Club
(£10), it's pretty much indispensible anyway
since it allows a lot of the older games to
run.
What's new? Well, the software has
totally changed as I have been developing it
since LT1. I've kept the contents of the
magazine in the origional form, However I
have spell checked it! Finally a simple
desktop frontend has been added (as in issue
5). As I mentioned above, it will now run
from any filing system as Rice OS apps are
supposed to and is RISC PC compatible.
Ah. Yes. And one article has been
removed from this issue - a list of projects
that we planned to do, none of which ever saw
the light of day or were even started!
For those of you who have not seen LT
before here is a list of available issues:
LT1 Digital Dog Edition.
LT2 Hamster on the Prowl.
LT3 Edward's Revenge.
LT4 Yul Brynner's Memorial Toolshed.
LT5 Wardrobe Racing For Forigners.
To obtain an issue send a disc and a
suitable SAE to the address in the help file.
Amiga versions are also available so be sure
to mention which computer you have.
See the !Help file for instructions.
Look out for Issue 6.
Andy.

ATTENTION 1Mb USERS
*********************************************
ALTHOUGH THIS ISSUE WILL WORK ONE A
ONE MEG MACHINE, THE INTRODUCTION WILL NOT.
THE MAGAZINE USES ALL OF THE AVAILABLE
MEMORY. TO VIEW THE INTRODUCTION, RUN THE
MAGAZINE AND THEN QUIT. THEN, USING THE
PROGRAM MANAGER SET THE 'NEXT' AREA OF MEMORY
TO ABOUT 400K AND CLICK ON THE FILE !RUNIMAGE
IN THE !LUNCHTME3 DIRECTORY. THE INTRO WILL
RUN ALTHOUGH WHEN IT TRYS TO LOAD THE
MAGAZINE IT WILL FAIL.
THIS IS MAINLY DUE TO THE CHANGES
NEEDED TO MAKE THIS ISSUE RISC PC COMPATIBLE
SUCH AS USING QTM INSTEAD OF THE SMALLER
TRACKER MODULE.
