83 ASIM CDFS 3
ASIM CDFS (Compact Disc File System) has been around
for some time and this latest version could make all the
difference in bringing your Amiga and CD-ROMinto harmony.

1MPACT!
84 With the addition of inverse kinematics in LightWave
4.0, this popular 30 animation system will have only one weak
spot - collision detection. IMPACT! adds this and real-world
physics to make creating animations easier and more realistic.

XiPaint
86 A 24-bit true-colour paint package with layers on CD
and at a reasonable price. We load up XiPaint and go in search
of inspiration for a pixel-constructed masterpiece.

Amiga M1438S
91 The first official new product since the demise of
Commodore is a monitor - but is it any good?

Link-lt!
93 If you have a two-computer setup, you need a
networking solution to get the maximum benefit from it. There
is certainly no shortage of networking options to choose from,
but do you know what to look for? Link-It! could be a simple
and flexible solution.

MainActor
96 Broadcast
This is a program that should be of interest to
users interested in graphics and animation. MainActor
Broadcast can load and save animations and images in many
different formats.

CD-ROMs
101 Aminet Set 2 follows on logically from Set 1
and is jam-packed with useful utilities, programs, pictures,
demos and music. C=64 Sensations is a nostalgic CD of a
bygone era and Gamers Delight II should appeal to all you
game lovers out there.
 Great things
are afoot in the
Amiga world.
We were able
to find out
more during
the Computer
' 95 Show in
Cologne,
Germany.

A pleasant suprise
David Pleasance is
back in the form of
Tangent Music Design
- a partnership intent
on demonstrating
the fact that the
Amiga can produce
results just as good
as any other music
computer.

aside , the notion that the Amlga Is once again attracting

to the real world .. .

Christmas rush for new PCs and Macs , people are going to
be sitting In front of boxes all over the world saylnC:
•waddya mean I need another 8Mb of RAM before the
system will boot? Eh? Parity or no-parity? Do Whnt? I Just
wanna play Worms Is all. And waddya mean I can't load all
of the system software because I need another hard disk?
Come off It bud!". If only they'd known.

Just t h Ink If you'd been given an Amlga for your first ~10DF.S
computer at Christmas ... and If you have, then welcome.
Multitasking , plug It Into the telly, loads of Shareware, loads
of games, loads of cost-effective (cheap) software floating
around the place. Built-In sound, an OS that doesn't
Increase your system overheads. If you've cot any sense at
all , you are going to be one happy bunny.

"But I c 8 n' t play Command And Conquerl Bwhahhah"

Oh please, you can't play Sonic the flaming Hedeptg or
Super Plumber Boys either con you? So what? You won't
have to fork out god knows how many hundreds of pounds
to make your computer do what you want It to do either.
This Is real plug and play bud. This Is real computing with a
human touch. No ono needed to buy a Rotting Stones song
or get Oliver Stone to wltter on about power to convince
people that the Amlga could do what you wanted It to do,
when you want It to do It from a base unit. So get Into It.
The Amlga Is stlll the most versatile home computer around.
So Happy New Year and welcome to the real world.

f ever there wasa moment
I for the con1bined weight
of Anliga hardware
manufacturers to showcase
the potential and practica lity
of Amiga-based technology
as the ouistanding platform
for a cab le-television network,
it is now.
The aiu1ounccn1ent b)•
Tony Blair in October 1995
that, if elected, he will allow
British Telecom 10 compete
directly with p1iv-ate
cable-lV companies wiped £1
billion off of the share value
of said companies.
In combinatio n ,\Tiththe
new scheme introduced by
the Department of Trade and
Industry to allow on -line
services to be sent into
consumer's homes by radio ,
cable-1V's chances of ever
taking off are in danger of
being con1plete ly crushed.
To combat the threat , the
Cable Co1nmu11ications
Association have spent
£200,000 at the Telecom
Manager's Association Show
held in Brighton last month
(November '95). The monev
was spent on the presentation'
of future multimedia
services includ ing:
• Wideband Internet Access - A
full 8MHz cable channel feed with
access to the World Wide Web at clai1ned
speeds tltat are 100 times faster than
traditional methods.
• The linking of computer networks
at1d telecoms to allow businesses access
to locally-priced calls between offices.
Most important to the A1niga 1narket,
was the trial of 1elevision transmitted
across a PC net1vork. A~ the Cleveland
It looks good, It plays well , It's Scottie 's
favourite - It must be Breathle ss.
HiSoft's Squirrel opened new doors for the Amiga - now
t hei r M PEG unit could repeat the success.
Am lga cont roled MPEG television. An opportu nity for
cabl e companies to pre-empt BT.
Constabulat')' lnfom1ation Network has
so brilliantly ai1d practically illustrated,
the Amiga is best suited to. and 1nost cost
effective when working within this type of
cable application.
Wideband access would mean tha t
owners of Amiga techno logy-based set
top boxes could enjoy video 011
demand, communicate with each other
,\Tithin their franchise area for free, and
play net,vork gan1es such as Snper
Skidmarksand Gloom.
Gener,tl Cable, the only cable
co1npat1ystill trading in shares above
their launch price believe that cable
n1ust dc1nonstratc its unique capabilities
to restore investor confidence, "a couple
of years clown the line most networks ,\Till
be pretty well coniplete and investors will
start to see some profits."
With the advent of I-li-Sofl's MPEG
decoder and An1iga Technologies'
pledge to licence their tech.nology to
third parties, the Amiga's future could
truly be tl1e fu[urc of television.
It Is a curiou s paradox that the
Amlga 's saviour Is a company
which , with their 'pioneering •
strategy of selling high
quantities of PCs at very low
prices , Is doing the most to
undermine the Amlga 's success ,
by making Its price look
disproport ionately large.
After all , when a (highly deslrable, if not essentia l)
monitor Is added to an Amlga Magic pack , It comes In at a
few quid more than a 'base' PC system . Surely It Is not
beyond Amlga Tecnologies' techn ical capabll lt les to get
the Amlga to Interf ace with those same monitors which
grace the average PC? That , at least , would be one
positive benefit of being owned by one of Europe's largest
PC manufacturers.
The Rm I g a ' s b I g g est selllng point , over the years,
has been the fact that it Is a 'real' computer but at a much
lower price than those lumbering dinosaurs used In offices.
Now those dinosaurs have evolved to become quHe nimble
little things themselves , and anything whi ch wlll help to
regain the Amlga 's price advantage should surely be
looked Into , shouldn't It?
It Is something of a mixed blesslng that Escom have
now decided to stock Amlga In thei r stores . Yes, It 's good
that they - at least - wlll be advertising It , and It wlll have
a greater High Street presence , but It's not going down too
well with a lot of the Independent reta ilers who have
always been the backbone of the Amlga's success.
Anything which will help to
regain tlae Amlga's price
advantage should surely be
looked Into, shouldn't It?
Some o f them are afraid that , should the machine
not perform to Escom's expectations , they will slash the
price In an effort to sell It through . Good news, you think?
No. The Independents wlll then be left with stock which
they wlll probably have to lose money on to sell. Which
hardly helps to build long.term trading relationships .
Many Independents are alread y selllng Amlga s with a
cons iderable amount of forbearance , knowing that profits
made by Amlga Technologies wlll , eventually , filter back
through to the parent company who are their main
competition on the High Street.
So If Escom retail do unilaterally reduce the price of
the Amlga , many of those Independents will Just wash their
hands of the machine altogether . Never to touch It again.
For the Amlga 's long- term future , I hope AT are keeping a
close eye on their parent 's activities.

 itb lhe Amiga having
been out of the

it's almost inevitable that
lhe Lightis going to fall on other
machines at lhe pro end of the
creative market. This hasn't helped
matters as far as Amiga musicians are
concen1ed, since I.hat's one area where

for far too long.
This state of affairs prompted David

opinion, wrongly claimed to be the <k

used to bearing drums that is
impossible to play unless you've got

deliberately set out to make it so that
it's possible for a drummer to play. It's a
band thing - we can support anything
from lh e album live. We can do
everythin g in a live situation and use
the Amiga as supporL"
PASSION
Richard and Eel's live ambitions
(p laying under th e name Passion ) are a
hand y by-pr odu ct of th e al bun, proje ct,
and David is keen to push their careers
as 1nusicians to the full extent, but it's
Everybodys Girlfriendtl1at's taking all
their time . At the moment Ed and
Richard are working on a mix per da y
for 14 days to get things finish ed - a

decid ed that we would set out to prove
feat unheard of in studios. The reason
for the tight deadline is the usual chain

Ex Commodore UK head,
David Pleasance thinks that
there has been enough bad
Amiga news . Maff Evans
catches up with him at the HQ
of Tangent Music Design - his
vision for re-establishing the
Amiga as the creat ive machine .
1nusic using lhe Amiga and give the five
and a half million Alniga owners
The result is Everybody'sOirifri.end,a
collection of songs and performan ces
(rom a number of artists, all worked
into prof essional recording s by Richard
and Ed. The title is a pun on the name
'Amiga' - the Spanish word for
girlfriend - but ther e is another side to
the nam e, as David explains:
"To be frank, songs about computers
would be boring after the first cho rus.
We de cided that if we based it loosely
around the girlfriend theme it wouldn't
be boring , but it wou ld still be linked to
th e Amiga in tenns of inspiration. We
wanted to put a stamp of quality on lhe
kind of produ ct that Tangent could
come up with, so we decided to make
the album as diverse as possible ."
The album does indeed eontain a
hugely varied range of music styles -
from pop to rock to Spanish Flamen co
guitar (see? It links even fur th er) .
"The one thing we decided not to
put on the albwn was an y dance or
techno 1nusic," Richard points out. "Not
because we've got anything against that
type of music, but because we think it's
been catered for mor e than enough in
tenn s of computers in general."
"What we tri ed to do is aim at a live
feel on virtually everything." Ed agrees.
"'v\That we aren't used to hea ring is
of frustrating events.
David and Ed had th e basic studi o
equipment se t up in the house they
shared when th e pr operty was sold by
their landl ord . Th e equipm ent was put
int o storage until tl1ey were lucky
enough Lofind an unused, purpose-
built studio in Septe1nber. Some new
equipment was dul y bought an d the

the interest witl1other musicians, th at
they haven't had time LO work with
everyone who wants to be involved .
"Th e phrase that rings in my mind ,"
says David with a conspiratoria l smile,
"Is 'Volum e two'. Obviousl y ther e'll be
more time to do volum e two." "Oh
good," mutters Ed witl1a sickly grin.
START TO FINISH
The Amiga doesn't just function as a
studio tool and source of inspiration - it
plays an integral part throughout the
production process. Ed and Richard
work on rhythmic patterns and sequence
ideas with their images, transplanting
them alongside ideas played live. Th e
duo tl1en bounce ideas off each other
in the sn1dio, beginning to pr ogram the
tracks int o the studio's Amiga.
Everything is played in live from a
Roland MK-80 digital pian o and

TAKE CONTROL
The control hub of the studio is an
Amiga Tower runn ing a program
that will be familiar to many
Am iga Format readers .
•everything that 's been
written has been done on the
Amiga using Bars and Pipes,"
enthuses Ed. •orum programming
on Bars and Pipes is a doddle . I'm
not sure we could get that kind of
feel on anything else . It seems to
come out exactly how I wanted it. n
Richard takes up the
recommendations ;
In a lot of cases we wanted the
human feel In there and that 's
what Bars and Pipes is really good
at. It tends to leave everything as
It's recorded ."
"If there is a bugbear with
Bars and Pipes , it's that there 's too
much on it. Ed points out.
H up Tangent as a 111ajorforce in
illustrating the power of the classic
program . "We use it as a standard

the An1iga and sort things out, but time
is one luxury that isn't available. To get
arow1d the problem, they save the
sequences as MIDI files on to DOS disks
and load them into an Apple Mac.
"One thing that's wonh 1nentioning
is that the files we took from Bars and
Pipes transferred con1pletely across to
the Mac," saysRichard, defending 1.he
program. "\>\ledidn '1.lose a note. Again

And it's all ea.sily available too .
In fact. Bars and Pipes was

"We'll spit eve1y1.hingdown into a

We haven 'I. go1.to that stage yet, so we

So i1.looks like Tangent and Passion

Richard and Ed arc working hard

"We' re also in close association with

Does tl1at mean I.hat Tang ent Music

"Of course, yes. I think it's very

Looks like the name Tangent could

IT'S A MONSTER!
The fastest-growing area in studio technology is hard disk recording . The Tangent

it needs an 060. It takes over the whole of the Amiga and turns it into a hard disk
recording system with however many tracks you want. It will cater for virtual

Tangent is due to be a test site for the new system, with Ed and Richard
Everything is
contributing ideas to enhance the specifications . One such idea to be played in live
implemented is the ability to trigger high-quality samples directly from the from a Roland
Amiga. enabling the system to act like a combined rack sampler and hard disk MK-80 digital

will be cheaper than anything else around at the moment. Who says the Amlga stre amed out of

Fine for video editing and n1as1ering,
but not for distribution to the ma,;.~es.
WHAT IS MPEG7
MPEG is a compression standard
which from I.he outset was
designed to work ac the sort
of speed or which a CD-ROM
is capable - about 1.5Mb a
second. The plan was to make it
easy and cheap to distribute video
b)' using CD-ROM as I.he storage
01ediu1n. CD-ROMs are a lot cheaper
to mat1ufacture and considerably more

reliable than bulky tape. CD-ROMs can
be pressed in seconds ai1d they never
stretch. break, or disgorge their
contents into your expensive video
cassette recorder. Each CD would cost
pence co make and hold up to 74
minutes of video.
AI; a plus, a ,~deo sequence stored
on CD would also be non-linear, in that
ai1y fran1e could be reached instanLly
(well, near enough instanLlyanyway)
wilhout having to rewind or fasl
forward. The advai1tages are plain, but
how can it be achieved?
In order lo work at the re latively
slow data rates itnposed by CD-ROf\1 1, it
was necessary lo make several sacrifices.
To stan offwilh, the full screen PAL
video i1nage was si1nply too big to deal
with and so il was decided lo quarter

drastic , but lhis still gives a quality
which is very close to that of domestic
V}-!Svideo tape.
The next big con1pro1nise was with
colour. Expcrin1ents have shown that
the human eye is 1nore concerned with
brightness detail, rather than colour
detail. MPEG capitalises on this
shortco1ning by separating the i1nage
into brightness and colour information.
The colour information is then
stored wil.hhalf the resolution of I.he
brightness info,mation. Three
"chunks" of data are required for
each i1nage - the brightness
(lu,ninance) information, the blue
colour con1ponent and the green
colour component.
AI; the co lour components

Each of these images is then
compres sed by running the data
through a special OCTfilter which

are stored at half I.he resolution, lhis
leads to I.he often-used shorthand
''YCbCr 4:2:2", where Y is the luminance
and Cb and Cr are the colour
components. (And what about red? If
the brighu1ess is known, the L"'O olher
components can be used to extrapolate
I.he red infom1ation in time for the
display to be conslructed.)
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Compressing a fraine is done as follows:
First of all. each component of lhe
video frame (there are three,
re1nen1ber, Y, Cb and Cr) is divided into
eight by eight blocks. Each block is then
processed by a DCT or "Discrete Cosine
Transfonn " which is a mathe,natica l
function which converts the image into
domain frequency, effectively storing
L11econtrast bet" 'een pixels rather than
the pixel values then1selves - I.hisis the
sai11ebasic technique used by theJPEG
in1age format. Since most video images
don't contain areas of exrren1e conu-ast
(black next to white, for example) I.his
technique works very well.
Again, playing on the way in which
L11ehuman e)re works, higher
frequencies (larger changes in contrast)
can be converted more coarsely lhan
lower frequencies (smaller changes in
contrast). The resulting values arc then
arranged in a zig-zag pattern, which
means they can be packed using
traditional "Run Length Encoding" to
save even 01ore space.
Sounds complicated? That's
because it is, and it takes a lot of
processing power. There are plenty of
olher tricks too - MPEG allows different

The idea, if not Lhe practicalities, are simp le. The device attaches to the SCSI

A control connection 10 the An1iga allows the 1V !PEG decoding to be software

The unit can act remotely too, so there is no real need
to have il attached to a computer at all. Cunningly, the
device can seek out con1patible CD-devices attached to it.

What Virtual Karting from
OTM promised, it looks like
Extreme Racing from Black
Magic is going to deliver.
Here is a pseudo-mode 7
racing game with the pace
and conflict of SNES classic
Super Mario Kart. Whatever
you think of the SNES and
console-based cartridge
software, it still can't be
denied that the
aforementioned title is one of
the best multi-player race
games available on the video
game market.
Extreme Racing on the
Amiga looks set to challenge
and usurp that accolade.
Catering for up to four
players at a time on one
Amiga, that number can be
doubled when combined with
Not quite as cute and cuddl y as Sup er Mario Kart, Extreme Racing
promises to be more playable and more fun. Can' t wai t for the f inished

another Amiga and a serial
link. Top - can't do this with a
SNES - stuff.
Unlike Virtual Karting, the
construction of the courses
is such that the player is
always competing with one
or other of the cars on the
track; be they computer
controlled or human.
To add to the playability
and excitement, weapons
and power pick-ups are also
made available throughout
the race. Clever and

strategic use of the weapons
can make the difference
between winning and losing .
Furthermore, there are
a multitude of camera
angles to be played around
with which let players adjust
the view to their own
personal preference.
In all, Extreme Racing has
all the hallmarks of a classic
in the mode of Super
Skidmarks. While it's not
going to be quite as pretty
as Super Mario Kart, it looks •
as if it's going to push the
litt le plumber off his
gameplaying perch in the
playability stakes.
We' re really looking
forward to the complete
game. A linked up challenge
with sister magazine
Amiga Power has already
been arranged.
All we need now is a
pre-emptive box of Kleenex
for their inevitable
losers' tears.

Despite initial reservations,
Hillsea Lido exhibits all the
hallmarks of a cult classic in the

used the, by now familiar, 2· 2
pixel mode , which gives
everything that 'rough and ready',
grungy feel. It played like a fast,
frenetic drea m (or nightmare,
depe nding on how you looked at
the game) and consequent ly was
a resound ing success w ith Amiga

a detail / window size versus running
speed compromise without
affecting the gameplay.
The 2• 2 pixel mode resembles the
look of Alien Breed 30 and, just like
Breed 30, Breathless is great to
play in this screen mode. But, if
you've got an accelerator installed,
the difference between the 2·2 and
1' 1 mode resembles the difference
between squinting myopia and pin
sharp focus.
Making the switch has a profound
effect. It's like taking the jump from a
cartoon world into temporal, in yer
face, reality. And, if you like
recreationally tinkering with your
perception, you'll be mightily
impressed verging on ' Breathless' by
t he difference the change makes.
Breathless tunes into, tickles,
thrills, titillates and teases your brain's
inbuilt reality construct; a construct
that's been created, shaped and
solidified since you first learned to
grasp an object in front of you.
When the hand/eye coordination
adjustment to Breathless is made,
you'll find yourself doing ridiculous
things, like trying to peer round
corners, squinting to see what's up
ahead in a poorly lit room, become
illogically pensive when faced with a
dark corridor. Such is the power of
the game to affect you on a subliminal
and direct level.
It's also why the game's so
compulsive. Despite fo llow ing a
formulaic game plot of finding keys to
open doors, wast ing nasties who get
in your way, and picking up health,
energy and shield icons, the
environment and creatures change
enough to keep you permanently
interested and curious to see what's
up ahead.
Furthering the sense that you're
treading in a parallel world consisting
of its own laws of physics reality and
danger is the clever use of lighting:
Flickeri ng lights on some levels
add to the spooky unsettling effect
of seeing a behemo th shambling
toward you; gun fire lights up the
immediate surroundings; light floods
into dark rooms when you open
doors . Terrific stuff.
The use of lighting might sound
cosmetic, but internally your brain's
registering the light levels on a
subliminal level and is creating an

at each of those tab les, shall we?

although Veitch claims to have had some
success while he was idling away a few
hours, but I had immense fun trying and,
ahem, got two scores on the all-time top
five for my troubles.
This is the best of the three tables. It's
all very straightforward; there are a few
neat, yet simple touche s, like the side lane
waterfall , but it's difficult. Take, for
example, the bonus multiplier which
involves slinging the ball into the dinosaur
jaws on the right of the table.
The best way to do this is as a
backhand off the right flipper. The shot
is a tricky little blighter, but once mastered,
completing it is almost as satisfying as
scoring at the far post with a diving
header at Sensi.
Actually, I can only presume this to be
the case because, despite devoting a fair
part of my adult life to executing such a
goal, I have yet to achieve it.
Other neat features include the

Possib ly one of the best showcases for
the software concepts of shareware
and licenceware, the Black Dawn
series of adventure gan1cs almost
have a large enough follow·ing to take
them out of the realn1 of cultishness.
It's easy to see why the series is so
popular. Relying on the Dungeon
Master concept, they place dle would-
be adventtu-er in strange alien
landscapes and mostJy invite dlem to
make dleir escape.
Bl.ackDaum 6, the latest
adventure takes the role-playing
concept further than it ever has
before. You can enter the game with
a set of pre-rolled characters, or opt
to roll your own.
To make 1hings easier for the
gan1er, if he / she doesn't like the
attributes of tJ1echarac1er that's just
been rolled, they can keep rolling
with no penalty uni.ii a better
character comes up. Top idea.
The gan1e presents the usual
challenges along with a few surp rises
that I'll leave you to find out about
yourself. Thoroughly recommended,
and edging toward t11at'virtual'

it pulls objects along a given vector (for

 there are some very undoubtedly great
features in XiPaint, it is also missing a
few of the basics. It seems to have been
constructed in a 1nodular way by sever.ii
people, all writing code for routines
they wanted to add. This 1neans that
bits they didn 't w.int to do are missing.
But lets not be too hard on it yet.
One of the tremendous things
about XiPaint is its screenn1ode support.
lt can run on virtually anything and still
give you a fairly realistic in1age.
A.lmough it works internally on 24-bit
image data, this is dynamically rendered
to various screenmodes from HAM up.
Obviously me HAM and HAM-8 (AGA
n1ac.l1ines)n1odes are slower than true
colour ones, but tJiey still work.

USEFUL LAYERS
One of tJie most interesting features is
the layer support. Layers are very useful
for putting together composite images.

helicopter and you have a background
picture of some Colombian drug fam1.
Stick the1n on layers and not only can

 LlasL, Ainiga Terhnologies has laun ched a new
produ cL.1-.Jurr.ihlls iLone of Lhe long-awaiLcd new
generation of Arnigas thaL we all wanl Lo save our
world? Nope, it's a n1onitor. ln fact, it's someone
else's (~licrovitec) monitor rebadged by Ainiga Technologies.
I thin k it"s important. when considering this new
periphcr.il, to recognise the Oak Amiga Technologies are
going to get. Everyone wants a new range of Amigas. The
use rs (you lot ) want it, the ,nedia (us lot) want it and the
businesses (then1 lot) want it. So. the release of:i 1nonitor,
one not even made by AT. is going to get some stick, which is
a real pity, because it's 1101 a bad monitor at all.
Y<'~.this monitor is a stereo version of ~licrovitec's 1438-
same ~pees, everything. However, before slating AT for just
stealing a ,nonitor, it shou ld be remembered that some of
Co1n1nodore 's monitor s, which were really gc,od, were actually
no ,nore than rebadged n1onitors from other rnanufacn1rers .
So this monitor, in my op inion, stands or falls on its own
1nerits. ForgeL the other s1u1T .
The besLthing about I.hi~moniLor, for the majority of
Amiga owners is thaL it isjust a case of plug-and-play. You puL
the stereo leads fro1n the Amiga to the audio in of the
1nonitor, con nect the 23-pin conne ctor dir ect ly 10 the
1nonitor port of the An1iga and co nnect the power. Unlike
)On1r n1onitors, there is no need for an adaptor.
Unfortunately. this is both a good and a bad thing. I-lad
the monitor come 1'ith a 9-pin conne cto r and an adaptor , it
would have been possible to connect it directly to display
cards (like the Picasso) whose display n1odes the monitor can
theoretically show, but would have meant using an adaptor to The first official Amiga product since the
plug i1110the sta ndard An1igas.
demise of Commodore is a new monitor .
NOT A CRITICISM ... David Taylor takes a look at the ...
AT could be ci;iticised for producing a monitor that wasn't
e,en designed for Amiga owners. Howe,·er, whilst 9-23 pin
adaptors are bulky and annoving, at least they exist. The
1nan11al , although worded in a very 1nuddlecl w-.iy,suggests
that users needin g 9-pin input shou ld ge t an adaptor- er,
where fron1? Perhap s Lhey cou ld o!Ter 9-pin versions specially
10 order, although that would doubtless be expe nsive.
The answer then see1n~ to be that this is a monitor for
normal Amigas. If you want 10 use an input different to
the ~tandard Aroiga, don't get this 111onitor.That's not a
criticis1n. Comp lain ing abouL that would be akin to buying
some co rnput er speakers and then saying that using them
with your I Ii-Fi was use less.
The picture quality of Lhe M 14385 is adequate. I prefer it
to the old 1084 that I was forced 10 use when Niel. stoic my
other monitor ,~hilst I was aw-d)'(damn his oih hide!).
Th ankfully, it can show all ,nodes including Producti,ity,
which I don't personally use but on occasion receh e pictures
in. If you can' t display thcn1, youju sl lose t11e screen, which is
annoying and means you end up converting the irnagc, which AMIGA M1438S MONITOR
is lin1e-consuming.
One downside is Lhat the space between hori, ontal scan
lines is ,isible. but the displa)' is clear and beuer than some
older monitors.
The sou nd output is fairly standard. It sounds OK, would
be fine for ga,nes, but is notl1ing compar ed to putting the
audio through a stereo.
The ,nonitor has all t11econtrols on the front , making
t11en1reasonably accessible, although their size makes them a
bit fiddly. \<\'hile there arc horizontal centri ng and vertical si7e
controls, there isn't a vertical centri ng control, which ,~ould
ha,c been useful. It also corncs on a swivelstand. which makes
tilling the display possible.
All in all, this is a co n1pact and competent product. It
won't revolutionise tlH.· world and there arc other criticisms
that could he levelled . Why, for instance, when the ,nonitor
has a 23-pin conne ctor docs the documentation show a
9-pin connecto r? Slopp). The lack of con1positc input,
a,'llilable on the old Cotn1nodorc monitors 1 is also a little
disappo inting . However, you've got an Amiga and you want a
general 1nonitor that"s easy to use? Thi s is a possible (but not
a definitive "the") answer. ®

BIG DRIVE BOTHER
I'm sorry if I am taking your time with my
qu estion s, buL here in Port ugal there is no one
able LOanswer them for me and I think you are
the righL pers on LOdo it I own an A600 with
2Mb of RAM and I would like to ask you for
some advice in lem1s of hardwa re.
l saw in AF76 one advertisement fron1 First
Computer Centre where the y announ ce l.05Gb
hard drives for A600 (Page 88) .
1. ls it possible that tny comp ut er \,~th just 2Mb
of RAM can support such a hug e hard drive?
Would I lose speed Mth it?
2. If it is not possible to add this HD, what do I
need ? More RAM (if so, how can I get it) or a
smaller HD (which size)?
3. In AFJ) (page 21) I saw what I think is a RAM
card of20Mb from Mitst1bishj Elec tric for
PCMCIA that fit!lmy co1nput er. An1 I righL?
How can I get one of those?
4. And last I have a Commodore MPS 1270A
Ink Jet Printer conne cted to th e parall el por t. 1
use th e Po (Portuguese) Keyn1ap configuration
and the EpsonX CBM-MPS-1250 printer driver.
When I use Ed from WB, and I use it a lot, I an1
never ab le to prinl some chara cle rs that are
specific for Portugu ese, like acce nts.
Th ey are displayed on the screen, bul do
not appear in th e printer or, sometimes, they
are repla ced by ot her 'fu nn y' symbols. What is
the problem ? Can't Ed suppor t specific lette rs
when sending then1 LO the printer driver? b
there a prinLer driver that fits my prinLer better?
I would be very grateful if you gave me a quick
answer becau se I have to bu y the hard drive
before my par ents change their minds and I
don'L want to lose this opportunity of incr easing
my computer capa cities.

1,2. Youdon't need any extra RAM. Although the
hard drive will requirememoryfor disk buffers,and so
on, you should still have 1norethan enough leftover.

possible to use a CD-RO M and, as I've no idea

T re cently purchased a CITI ZEN ABC 24 dot
matrix printer which I use frequently. I am
currently thinking about using it for drawing up
CVs, but I do not have a progran1 that will fully
uti lise the printer 's internal fonts and font sizes.
The program should work like
Wordworth,or the Mac program I used
whilst in college, MacWrit.e,where you
can type a sentence or paragraph ,
select it with the 1nouse and conven the
colour or font or size in the menu, but
using tl1e printer 's own internal fonts.
The system I use is an A600 with 2tvlb.
I hope there is a progra1n available,
and if you know of one, could you tell
me what it is, where to get it and how
much it costs.

 f you ""ant to render )'Our own version of
Babylon5, you'll need to master
aniination. T here is so much to this
fantastical ly broad topic that we'll have to
look at it over severa l months. Rest assured that
when all Lhehard work is over, you'll have all
the tools you need Locreate your own 1niniature
feature films.
Making an animation requires all the skills
of a director , lighting engineer and stage artist
in one , not to mention the ability to create
realistic objects. The finished fihn is 1nade
frame-by-fra1ne and each fran1e is a separate
i1nage which has been individually rendered.
\~ 1hen Lhe fra1nes are played back in sequence,
the objects spring to life and 1nove around Lhe
screen. Cars wil l whiz past, planets rotate and
the sun can rise and set. You can also change
the shape of objects, so they "morph" into
different objects over ti111e.
Your finished feature can be replayed using
the tools which came with Real30, or stored in
standard Anim5 fonnaL You can then load the
animation into any paint program, (DeluXI!Paint
or PersonalPaint) and add the finishing touches.
You can even combine digitised images of
real actors and co,n bi ne them with the 30
rendered objects to create alien abduction
scenes or add a1nazing special affects to your
ho1ne videos. lf you have a hard drive and
gen lock, you could repla y extra long anin1ations
from disk, co1nbine the1n with live action and
record your epic back LOtape ...
Before we get carried away, we'll need to
n1aster the sitnple things, such as creating more
than one i111ageat a tin1c and simple movement
Next month we'll Start dealing with more
complicated 1nove1nents and see how Locreate
spaceships which move in realistic orbits.

-- - -- ANIMATION TIPS
-- - -- Stick to small numbers of frames to start with.
Remember, each frame needs to be rendered

-- -- individually , so if you render an animation with 100

frames you need to render 100 images.

--- • --- Experiment with the Fast and Small delta animation
formats . Fast produces larger files , but they play back
faster. Use Small if you haven 't a lot of memory spare.

-- • -- The AnimS standard Is good; but Anlm7 is better. The

image and animation viewing program Viewtech comes

-- -- with a utility to convert AnlmS files Into Anim7 format.

Anim7 will play back very smoothly indeed. even from

-- • -- hard disk . Personal Paint also supports Anim7 .

You can aeate you animation in any mode you choose:

-- -- not only Fast. If you use the IFF-24,then many more

colours are used and using a program like Deluxe Paint

-- ·- -- and its dithering feature, you can create an animation

with much more detail.
If you set up animations to render overnight. check you

-- -- You need to fe.,d in the name of the still frames (reme mbe r
have enough disk space to store all the i~s. Never
leave the monitor on, only the computet', and make sur.

-- ·- -- the path to RAM in our case) and the first and last index
numbers (wh ich are O and 9) . Then feed In the name of th e
finished an imation (w it h path) and wait . When all Is finished, you u,n
there is adequate ventilation. An Amiga sitting on the
living room carpet is not adequately ventilated.

- - load the animation Into Deluxe Paint and watch It . If you selected the
Fast or Small options, you can use the DeltaPlay program included .

or n1essages, by clicking on them (for instance
to select a range of messages to print or delete).
In this case, the colou.r blue is introduced to
confuse cJ1ingsstill further:
• Messages originated by you are plain
black on a blue background.
• Unreplied 1nessages are the inverse of
this, wicJ1blue text on a black background.
• Replied n1essages on the oLher hand are
bold black text on a blue background.
None of this makes n1uch sense until you've
been using cJ1eprogran1 for a while, and
eventually everything will start to becon1e clear.
THE MESSAGE WINDOW
When you doub le-click on a particu lar message
in the "Message List" window, or click on the
"Messages" button, the actual text of the
rnessage itself will be displayed. If the message is
longer than one screen of text, you can lL~ethe
scroll bar on the right hand side of the screen,
or the arrow keys to n1ove up and down.
Along the botton1 of this window are a row
of eight buttons, allowing you to navigate your
way through the list of messages in the current
area. "fhe first button 1narked "Write" is fairl)'
self-explanatory, and allows )'OU to send a new

What finally read ing a message actually looks like - honestly, I d idn't make
this one up .
n1essage to ilie current area. Sin1ilarly,the next
button "Reply" allows you to reply to the
message currently being read.
The next t,vo buttons n1arked wiili "<" and
">" sy111bolsallows you to page through the
1nessages in the current area one at a time. [f
you prefer you can use me left and right cursor
keys to perform the same function.
Next along iliere are two bunons n1arked
"R<" and ">R". These perfonn a similar
function, except that instead of n1oving cJ1rough
the message list one mei;.~ge at a ti1ne. these
move to the previous or next 1nessage
belonging to the sa1ne discussion thread as the
current rnessage.
A "cJ1read"is a group of messages tl1at are
associated with each other. Generally (but by no
n1eans always) 1nessages in a thread will share a
suqject line and be about a similar topic.
The last two buttons marked "Areas" and
"Message List" respectively take )'OU back to the
appropriate window.
Of course, cJlere's n1uch more to Spot ilian
cJ)ethree windows described here - l haven 't
even touched on tl1e features available fro1n the
pull-down menus, but hopefully this should be
enough inforn1ation to get you over cJ1einitial
Once yo u get a b it further on with Spot, you
can attempt to come up with some witty
original lines , unlike me .

There is some good docun1entation supplied
with the Spot archive (cunningly called
Spot.doc) in addition to cJlesame n1aterial

be able to use these to help you get to grips

RUMOUR MILL
It's all been a bit quiet on the Fido front for
me recently due to an unfortunate "LHA"
related debacle on The Heart of Gold - the
system through which I get my Fido feed. So
as usual all the dodgy stuff this month
comes from the
lntemet .Comp.sys.amlga.advocacy, filled
with the usual PC and Mac loonies who are
continually under the impression that
sensible Amiga users can be swayed from
the true path by mere processor speed,
availability of software and cheap
peripherals (slap my forehead with a kettle
lead, what am I saying) .
Worry not. however. be<ause conclusive
proof has been found that the Amiga and
WB is a superior system to a Window's '95
running Pentium . The redoubtable William
Lear (of Amiga Report infamy) has come up
with a number of points why the Amiga is
the better machine. Chief amongst these is
that when moving the mouse pointer
around the screen - "I'm talking rapid
circular movement" - the mouse pointer left
images of itself on the screen, whilst the
Amiga mouse pointer suffers no such
hideous deformity. Lear concedes that the
images left by the Windows mouse pointer
are "not permanent". Well William, you've
certainly convinced me .

utilities work with those machines. To use the
utilities, you need LO unpack the disk. which is
done automatically by booting t.he Coverdisk.
lf you have Workbench 2 or bett er, you can
install to floppy disks or hard disk directly.

Ordering
Amazingly, it seems that most users, even those
with hard drives, still don't have a file manager.
These programs allow you to access and
manipulate files in a much rnore accessible and
flexible way than through Workbench. Ordering
is one such program I.hat stands out because it
has a separate, easy-to-use preference program ,
allowing you 1.0configure it 1.0your needs. What.
-,
are the advantages of using a file manager ?
Well, imagine you are browsing through a
directory when you come across a picture. You
want to see it , which on Workbench would mean
loading a viewer. Here , you can jllst double-click
on the file. If you then want 1.0copy it, move it
or delete it, you can do it in seconds, whereas it
,night take a bit or annoying "dragging and
dropping" on Workbench. There are full docs ,
but you should find it very easy to use.
SuperDuper
Copying disks is not exactly a bundle of laughs
using the diskcopy command, nor is it exactly
spee dy. Here's where SuperDupercomesin
handy . It's about the fastest disk copier around
and includes a fabulously simple interface.
All you have to do is load t.he program and
~ tell it which disks you want to copy. You can also
,_,..., tell it how 1nuch buffering should be done,

Virus Checker
7.18
It couldn't happen LO me. \Vherc would I get a
virus from? Oh , we've heard then1 all, but
believe us. viruses do exist and can be lethal.
VinlS Checkeris on e of the best ways to stop a
virus ever making it on to you system.
You need to install the progra1n (as you ma y
have to do wit.h son1c or the 01.hers on I.his disk ),
but once set up correctly on your Amiga, it will
sit in the bac kground and scan any inserted disk
for vin,ses.
The on ly time you will know of its existence
will be if it detects a suspicious file or bloc k,
when it will alert you and ask whet.her you wan t
to kill the offendi ng items. Use with care.
TiffView 1.17
3.13 There arc now so 1nany differe nt fonnats used
for in1ages that most p icture viewers wou ld be
pressed 10 display them. Tij]Viw can show more
than just the epon)'ffiOUST lFFs.
The program offers a great dea l or
nexibility over files and uses datatypes for some
files, which is why you'll find the T IFF datatypc
from the sa1ne author on this disk. (The
daratypc needs installing to your S)'Slcrnto be
accessed by progra1ns that use datatypes.) You
