Los Angeles is shaking violently, the eastern US has been dumped on with snow, and the midwest is freezing solid. It hit something like -36 in Minneapolis the other night, and was down to -15 here in Omaha. The Twin Cities had wind chills in the -80 range, and ours were in the -40's. Egad. My car will barely run in that kind of weather! Spring, where are you??? I've changed jobs again, so as soon as I finish settling in at the new one, I should be able to devote more time to the magazine. With the first quarter of 1994 approaching, we should see some interesting new products appearing. Elsewhere in this issue is a re-print of Soft-Logik's press release for PageStream 3.0. We hope to see a final production copy of it sometime in March. The latest word from Supra is that the voice-mail chip for their modems will appear next month, though I doubt it will have any direct Amiga support. But it'll keep third party vendors busy. Fred Fish's second CD ROM will be out shortly, and more and more games are appearing for the CD32. More than I expected anyway. Maybe I'm still used to Atari's sluggishness in terms of game releases. I'm still waiting for the Asteroids/Missile Command combo cartridge for my Lynx that they announced nearly two years ago. ;) Hopefully, between Jaguar and CD32, we can kick the crap out of the Japanese videogame makers Sega and Nintendo. Nintendo's Saturn system, which is a collaboration with SGI, isn't due out until this coming fall at the earliest. That gives Jaguar and CD32 a very large lead on establishing a market. Hopefully _marketing_ will take place in both cases, and we'll see them do really well. It's time America got back on top in something!

Reports say that the company's profits rose to $340 million (or $1.15 a share) in the three months ended Dec. 31, up from $181 million (or 64 cents a share) for the same period a year ago. Sales rose 35% to $4.99 billion from $3.71 billion in the last quarter of 1992. ** NEC, Toshiba Develop DRAM ** A new low-voltage 16-megabit DRAM (dynamic random access memory) chip for portable PCs has been developed by NEC Corp. and Toshiba Corp. Officials of the companies said the 3.3-volt chips have a 16-bit in- put and output structure that makes them more efficient, prolonging PC battery life. A Fujitsu Ltd. spokesman Said that firm is developing a similar chip and plans to begin production in the first half of the year. ** PC World and Newsweek Plan Joint Computing Reports ** PC World and Newsweek magazines have announced that they will jointly publish four special computing reports in 1994. The special sections will focus on developments in the small office, home office (SOHO) com- puter market. They will be prepared by the editors of PC World. The four sections will appear in issues of both PC World and Newsweek in April, June, September and December. "We estimate that by 1996, SOHO computer users will account for more than $15.5 billion in U.S. PC purchases, over 55% of the anticipated to- tal PC market in the country," says PC World Publisher Rich Marino. "It is increasingly important for high-tech marketers to reach this growing market." ** Compuserve Lowers Hourly Charges by 40% ** CompuServe announced this week it is lowering connect charges by 40% for hourly-priced services, such as forums, travel services, financial services, reference databases and entertainment offerings. Reports say that the lowered charges, which are for those members subscribing under CompuServe's Standard Pricing Plan, take effect Feb. 6. The new rates are $4.80 per hour for 300, 1,200 and 2,400 baud rates and $9.60 for 9,600 and 14,400 baud rates. In addition to hourly-priced services, CompuServe members have access to more than 50 basic services for a flat fee of $8.95 per month. Compu- Serve offers access at modem speeds of 14,400 bits per second in many major cities, the only major online service to do so, and at the same cost as access at 9,600 bits per second. ** Compuserve to Provide Local Customer Support in Mexico ** CompuServe Inc. also announced this week that it will provide local customer support and network access to CompuServe Information Service members in Mexico beginning this spring. CompuServe provides local-dial access through its own network nodes from 17 major cities in Europe and has member support offices in Bristol, England, Munich, Germany, and Paris. CompuServe also has licensing or affiliate agreements in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, Hungary, Chile, Venezuela and Argentina. ** Nintendo Settles Copyright Suit ** A copyright infringement suit between Nintendo of America Inc. and United Microelectronics Corp. has been settled out of court. Terms calls for UMC to take steps to combat piracy of Nintendo video games, the firms said. The settlement ends litigation of a federal suit filed in 1991 by Nintendo against UMC, of Hsinchu City, Taiwan, and its U.S. subsidiary, Unicorn Microelectronics Corp. of Santa Clara, Calif., and several individuals associated with the companies. In that action, Nintendo alleged copyright and trademark infringement in the sale of counterfeit Nintendo video games. The case was dismissed "with prejudice," which prevents either side from bringing another action in the matter. ** IBM Awarded Most Patents in 1993 ** IBM Corp. reports that it ranked first in the number of patents awar- ded in 1993 by the U.S. government, marking the first time since 1985 that an American company has headed the list. IBM received 1,088 patents, followed by Toshiba Corp., Canon KK and Eastman Kodak Co., according to IFI/Plenum Data Corp. In 1992, the first four companies were all Japanese. The IBM patents were almost exclusively in the field of information processing, with an increase in software-related inventions. ** World Workstation Market Soars ** The world workstation market will more than quadruple in revenues and grow by more than 10 times in unit sales by the end of the century, reports Frost & Sullivan/Market Intelligence, the Mountain View, Calif.- based market research firm. The company states that sales will swell from $10.6 billion in 1992 to $20 billion in 1995 and $48.7 billion in 1999 at a 24% compound annual rate. Enterprise workstations will pace the market's growth, increasing from 32% of all worldwide workstation revenues in 1992 to 51% by 1999. ** Magazine Says Pentagon Proposes Limiting Internet Army Links ** A computer magazine says it has learned U.S. defense officials, fear- ing the possibility of computer intruders, are moving to limit military links to the international Internet network. The magazine, Network World, reported a plan to add a protective gateway or relay to the worldwide Defence Data Network (also called Milnet) has caused an uproar among computerists in and out of the Pentagon. The publication says a notice from the defense department's network planning group said the gateway's introduction was due early in 1994, but that so far the plan has not been implemented and Internet users still have direct links to the Milnet. ** Smart Device Shipments Soar ** New York-based market researcher, LINK Resources, reports that ship- ments of all types of "smart" handheld devices -- including high-end organizers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal communicators and some handheld CD-ROM products -- grew from 600,000 units in 1992 to 779,000 units in 1993. LINK Resources forecasts a 45.7%t compound annual growth rate over the next five years for these devices, with over five million units shipping to business and home users in the U.S. in 1998. LINK forecasts that annual shipments will increase in value from $454 million to $3.3 billion during this period, while the installed base grows to 9.5 million devices. ** Canadian Teen Accused of $500,000 Fraud ** An unidentified Toronto teenager has allegedly used a computer to defraud cellular phone network of $500,000 worth of long distance calls. Authorities are quoted as saying the teen changed the greetings in the voice mailboxes so the new greetings could be used to approve calls billed to the Rogers Cantel Inc. network. "About $200,000 worth of calls were billed to a single phone number over a 17-day period". "Cantel blames Bell Canada's new automated long- distance billing service, and is fighting with the phone company over who should pay for the losses." An industry analyst estimated long-distance fraud costs North American companies $2 billion a year, much of it by computer intruders. ** Who's a 'Butthead'? ** It all started when famed scientist Carl Sagan reportedly complained to Apple Computer Inc. that he didn't appreciated his name being borrowed as the internal code name for a new Apple computer. Reports say that after receiving the complaint, Apple changed the internal code name of the upcoming model from "Carl Sagan" to "Butt-Head Astronomer." Sagan supposedly asked the company to stop using his name after an article about the new model appeared in MacWEEK magazine. Reportedly, the Butt-Head Astronomer system -- well, "BHA" for short -- is one of three Apple models to use the PowerPC microprocessor developed by Apple, Motorola Inc. and IBM. ** Practical Peripherals Cuts Costs ** Practical Peripherals this week cut prices by up to $100 on eight of its high-speed data and fax modems for PCs and Macintosh computers. Practical says its PM14400FX PKT pocket modem, formerly priced at $499, has been reduced to $399. Meanwhile, the PM14400FXMT V.32bis desktop modem offering 14400bps data and 14400bps fax capabilities, was reduced to $259 from $299. Other PC modems affected by the price reduction are the PM14400FX, reduced from $259 to $229; the PM9600FXMT, down from $249 to $219, and the PM9600FX, from $229 to $199. Three Macintosh modems in the price cut are the PM14400FX PKT/Mac, from $529 to $429, the PM14400FXMT/Mac, down from $299 to $279, and the PM9600FXMT/Mac, cut from $269 to $229. Practical notes all the modems feature DTE (computer to modem) speeds up to 57,600bps, both Class 1 and Class 2 fax support, V.42 error cont- rol, V.42bis data compression, send/receive fax and are compatible with the Hayes standard AT command set. Each comes with data and fax communications software. ** Atari Jaguar Grabs Top Awards at CES ** Atari Corp. announced this week that the Atari Jaguar 64-bit inter- active multimedia game system has been named the industry's "Best New Game System" (VideoGames Magazine), "Best New Hardware System" (Game Informer) and "1993 Technical Achievement of the Year" (DieHard GameFan). The awards were presented last week at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. In addition, VideoGames Magazine selected a Jaguar advertisement as "1993's Best Print Ad" and Electronic Games voted Jaguar's newest software title, "Tempest 2000," the "Best Game of the Show." "We are excited the industry's premier publications have recognized Jaguar," said Sam Tramiel, president of Atari. "We developed Jaguar's 64-bit technology to raise the standard for game system performance, making Jaguar the most powerful, affordable system on the market. It is an honor to know that the leading trade magazines and their readers recognize our efforts." "We created the 'Best New Game System' award specifically for Jaguar," said Chris Gore, editor of VideoGames Magazine. "Atari developed a new game system with innovative hardware and software that delivers a performance level currently not available in the market at a price people can afford. It eclipses 3DO as the best bang for your buck." On Game Informer's decision to vote Jaguar "Best New Hardware System," Editor Andy McNamara said, "With enough raw processing power to take out the big boys, Atari has a winner on its hands. Of course, it will need great software, but if games like the pack-in Cybermorph set the standard, Atari is definitely on its way." Atari Corp. manufactures and markets 64-bit interactive multimedia entertainment systems, video games and personal computers for the home, office and educational marketplaces. The Sunnyvale-based company manufactures the Jaguar products in the United States. ** Atari Jaguar Poised to Pounce Nationally in 1994 ** Atari Corp. also announced this week that the company plans to roll out Jaguar(TM) -- the world's first 64-bit interactive multimedia home entertainment system -- in the first half of 1994. In addition, Jaguar and its first four software titles, "Cybermorph," "Raiden, " "Evolution Dino-Dudes" and "Crescent Galaxy," will continue to ship steadily to stores in New York and San Francisco. "We look forward to extending Jaguar's success in the New York and San Francisco markets by implementing a nationwide rollout of the pro- duct in 1994, " said Sam Tramiel, president of Atari. "What is espec- ially rewarding is customer response to Jaguar -- it's great to see how people react to the system. We are committed to making Jaguar the world's number one game platform and this is a powerful start." "Sales of the Jaguar couldn't better. All of our units sold out in one day and we've got a list of more than 100 people waiting for our next shipment," said Gary Jockers, general manager, FAO Schwarz, San Francisco. "The new titles we received are selling out as fast as the systems. Our customers are clamoring to get these new games. Now that we've got all of the current game titles available for Jaguar, the demand is only increasing for more units." Atari Jaguar is the world's first 64-bit interactive multimedia home entertainment system and is the only video game system manufactured in the United States. Atari expect to deliver its Jaguar CD-peripheral in the second half of 1994 at a suggested retail price of $200. ** IBM Cuts Pentium-Based PC's 10% ** Prices of all the IBM PCs built around Intel Corp.'s Pentium micro- processor are being cut by more than 10%, according to officials with IBM's wholly owned Ambra unit. Analysts said the competing PowerPC chip -- developed by IBM, Apple Computer Inc. and Motorola Inc. -- costs less than the Pentium because it is easier to make. Last month Intel said it will cut prices on its Pentium chip by 14% to 18% this year to build market share as production speeds up. Also, IBM is introducing two new high-performance options for its Pentium-based systems: a Matrox MGA II+ video card and the Adstar 1GB hard drive. ** Tandy to Open More Supercenters ** Tandy Corp. is set to open 24 Computer City SuperCenters and six new Incredible Universe consumer electronics stores this year. Sources quote Tandy as saying the stores will add 3,600 new jobs throughout the United States. ** Packard Bell Moves Tech Support to Magna, Utah ** Packard Bell's technical support operations is moving from Los Angeles to Magna, Utah. The company also considered sites in Tucson, Arizona, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Portland, Oregon. Utah state officials said the move will create about 600 jobs, with the PC maker using 35,000 square feet of space. ** First MAC Nubus Hardware Announced ** Digital Communications Associates (DCA) says it will deliver token ring and coaxial adapters for Macintosh NuBus machines. DCA believes these are the first interface cards available for Apple's seven-inch form factor NuBus computer systems. The MacIRMAtrac NuBus Token Ring and MacIRMA NuBus Coax are network adapters designed for the Centris 610, 660 av and the Quadra 610, 660 av series of Macintosh computers. They also work on older NuBus machines. The Token Ring card features its own memory for downloading microcode and to provide higher performance levels. The Coax card features RAM- based hardware which allows product upgrades through software updates. Both DCA products will be available next month through DCA's standard distribution network. The Token Ring adapter carries a suggested price of $895. Retail price on the Coax adapter is $1,195. Additional information is available from DCA at 800/348- 3221. International customers may fax product or pricing requests to 404/442-4364. @endnode ------------------------------ @node P1-3 "PageStream 3.0" @toc "menu" PAGESTREAM 3.0 AMIGA PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Ellen Kazmaier (314) 894-8608 Director of Marketing (800) 829-8608 Soft-Logik Presents An In-Depth Preview Of PageStream 3.0 Amiga! St. Louis, Missouri (September, 1993) Soft-Logik Publishing Corporation will present an in-depth preview of PageStream 3.0. PageStream 3 is a completely new version of the #1 desktop publishing program on the Amiga. Adding a comprehensive list of features that users have requested, PageStream 3 surpasses its competition. PageStream 3 is the ideal program for any desktop publishing project. It can be used to write letters, produce high-end color separations and publish complex books with multiple sections and chapters. The new trapping and plate control features makes PageStream 3.0 a leader in the emerging pre-press field. PageStream 3 breaks new ground with a dual paragraph and character style system that allows style override, style ripple and object styles. The new style system makes applying attributes to text and objects easier than ever before. PageStream's flexible toolbox allows users to choose between small, large, vertical and horizontal toolbox layouts. There are even floating panels for fonts, colors, styles, macros and pages to make editing easier. PageStream 3 offers an incredible array of document formatting features. Auto-kerning and auto-hyphenation have been added, and text styles are configurable, including changing the shadow type and offset, and the underline method. The tab feature allows left/center/right alignment on any character, and dot leaders (filled tabs) can be made with any character. PageStream 3.0 now supports the PANTONE(R) Color System. PageStream 3.0 uses this industry standard to provide printed color accuracy with guaranteed results. In addition to PANTONE support, PageStream 3.0 offers support for spot and process color, and CMYK, HSV, and RGB color models. PageStream has always been the import format champion with numerous formats supported. Import a Word Perfect file and export a Final Copy document. Or import an IFF ILBM and export it as TIFF. Import an Adobe Illustrator 3.0 EPS file, interpret it into a structured drawing, and dissolve it into component shapes and paths. And the newly added format of translating Professional Page documents. Users of Gold Disk's Professional Page desktop publishing program can now make the transition to PageStream painlessly. Converting a Professional Page document for use in PageStream is a simple task. PageStream 3 adds the power of ARexx without adding the complexity. ARexx scripts can be written from scratch or recorded within the program. Scripts can then be played back, without knowledge of ARexx programming. PageStream 3 features are an extensive ARexx command set that will satisfy any power-user. The PageStream 3.0 publishing system comes with the PageLiner 2.0 text editor and the BME 2.0 bitmap editor. These programs are linked to PageStream with the included HotLinks 2.0, the Amiga data exchange standard. PageStream 3.0 will be available in the first quarter of 1994 for $395. Customers who purchase a full copy of PageStream 2.2 after March 15, 1993, are eligible for a free upgrade to version 3.0 by mailing their registration card, proof of purchase and $5 for shipping and handling, to Soft-Logik. Previous purchasers can upgrade for $125 if they own PageStream 2.0 or higher, or for only $95 if they also own HotLinks Editions. Professional Page owners can upgrade to PageStream for $175. (limited time offer) PageStream 3.0 will change the way you think about publishing. [Editor's Note: The latest news is that PGS3 is set for release sometime in March of 1994. Hopefully it'll actually make it this time. I'm eagerly awaiting it!] @endnode ------------------------------ @node P5-1 "Chaos v5.2" @toc "menu" Chaos available for FTP TITLE Chaos - The Chess HAppening Organisation System VERSION 5.2 AUTHOR Jochen Wiedmann E-Mail: wiedmann@mailserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de DESCRIPTION Chaos is a program that manages single-player chess-tournaments using a font-adaptive full-Intuition-GUI created using MUI.

Since one can not snapshot the position of a volume`s icon, nor replace it by a user-defined one, I wrote this utility. ForceIcon allows you to set the position of a disk`s icon and/or replace it by a different image/icon which doesn`t have to be a disk.info file. All types of ".info" files may be selected. NEW FEATURES You may copy an entry now, ie. all the settings for an existing entry may be copied to a new entry, so that you may easily create entries for CD0:-CD5: or whatever, without having to re-enter all the settings SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Only OS 2.x and up HOST NAME wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) DIRECTORY /pub/aminet/os20/wb/ FILE NAMES ForceIcon12.lha ; program, docs and source PRICE GiftWare, i.e. anything you like ;) DISTRIBUTABILITY GiftWare --- Kai Iske (ETGxxx) IRC-Nick: kiske Brucknerstrasse 18, 63452 Hanau, Germany, Tel.: +49-(0)6181-850181 Fido : Kai Iske, 2:244/6302.11, Z-Net : KAI@SWEET.ZER internet : iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de usenet : kai@iske.adsp.sub.org ------------ - Life sucks - Al Bundy - @endnode @node P5-4 "MCalc v1.2" @toc "menu" MCalc 1.2 - Patched announcement TITLE MUIProCalc (MCalc) MUI'Programmer'Calc VERSION 1.2 COMPANY None working for AUTHOR Kai Iske Brucknerstrasse 18 63452 Hanau Germany Tel.: +49-(0)6181-850181 email: kai@iske.adsp.sub.org iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de DESCRIPTION MUIProCalc is a MUI-based calculator much like Jimmy Yang`s Calc 3.0. It still lacks the plotter, but it offers a quite flexible history facility for inserting previously entered expressions. Different output formats offered and plenty of functions the user may choose from. Furthermore the look of the calculator may be customized. ARexx Port for ease of calculating from within an editor. Some functions are able to return TeX compatible output. Results or inputs may be copied to the Clipboard. MUIProCalc comes with a fancy GUI you may configure to your needs. Function gadgets may be flipped through using pages so that they don`t eat up too much of space. MUIProCalc supports an input/output history you may configure so that you may re-insert previously entered expressions/results. History entries may be copied to a userdefiniable clipboard unit. It features various display/output bases such as decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary and of course calculation sizes ranging from 8 Bit to 32 Bit width. Angles may be displayed as radiants or degrees. MUIProCalc offers an ARexx port you may use to calc expressions externally. These commands are able to return TeX compatible output such as "1\cdot 10^{-5}". It comes with two example scripts for use with CED Pro. NEW FEATURES - ARexx Port added so that you may calculate expressions from within an editor. Some ARexx functions may return TeX compatible output which may be directly used within a mathematical TeX environment - Calculation problems fixed - You may copy history lines to the Clipboard now - Some more shortcuts SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Only OS 2.x and MUI (MagicUserInterface by Stefan Stuntz) HOST NAME wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) DIRECTORY /pub/aminet/os20/util/ FILE NAMES MCalc12.lha ; program, docs and source PRICE GiftWare, i.e. anything you like ;) DISTRIBUTABILITY GiftWare --- Kai Iske (ETGxxx) IRC-Nick: kiske Brucknerstrasse 18, 63452 Hanau, Germany, Tel.: +49-(0)6181-850181 Fido : Kai Iske, 2:244/6302.11, Z-Net : KAI@SWEET.ZER internet : iske@informatik.uni-frankfurt.de usenet : kai@iske.adsp.sub.org ------------ - Life sucks - Al Bundy - @endnode @node P5-5 "MUIBuilder v1.0" @toc "menu" MUIBuilderV1.0 available for FTP TITLE MUI-Builder VERSION 1.00 COMPANY None AUTHOR Eric Totel 5 rue Riquet 31000 Toulouse France email: totel@laas.fr DESCRIPTION MUI-Builder is an application builder for MUI programs. It will allow beginners and other programmers to build their Graphic User Interface very easily. It generates C or E code for MUI. With the many options of MUI-Builder, you will be able to generate precisely the part of the source code you really want, and not only the whole interface. This will permit you to easily maintain your code whithout losing your previously modified program, each time you change your interface. Moreover you will be able to design the inline hypertext guide from MUI-Builder by attaching a help text to each GUI-Object of your interface. The builder will be able to create the AmigaGuide documentation automatically.

The purpose of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS Release 2. ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester. Also included are RTPatch (1.3) and RexxReqTools (1.2e): RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you improved system requesters. RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters. All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools. NEW FEATURES ReqTools 2.2: (NOTE: All changes listed below are for the Kickstart 2.0 and higher version of the library (unless stated otherwise). Development of the 1.3 compatible version of ReqTools has more or less stopped.) o File, font and screenmode are now able to use proportional fonts, making them truly font-sensitive. Palette requester will accept and use a proportional font on Kickstart 3.0 or higher only. Note: this required a small catalog change, so be sure to update your catalogs. o Added cool LED indicator left of the drawer gadget in the file requester (optional). o File requester will now make sure 'freq->Dir' and 'filename' are up-to-date when a callback hook is called (RTFI_FilterFunc and RT_IntuiMsgFunc). If you want to rely on this please check for this _exact_ release of ReqTools (or higher of course). o File requester will show file sizes in localized form now. o Screenmode requester now handles color depths greater than 8192 colors correctly (will use 16K, 32K, 16M,... for high color values). Previously the window borders could get overwritten, oops :-) o Removed hardcoded monitor names from screenmode requester code and made screenmode requester construct the name for an unnamed mode from the monitor name and dimensions. o Bug fix: when the SCREQF_GUIMODES flag is used the screenmode requester will no longer show modes that haven't got the DIPF_IS_WB flag set. This fixes the problem of truecolor Picasso II modes showing up. o Added a temporary workaround for a SAS/C bug (6.50 and earlier) creating incorrect code for taglist switches. Programs with a missing TAG_END in one of their taglists will no longer crash (but are still buggy ;-) o Changed rtLockWindow() and rtUnlockWindow() nesting code. Should work much better now and allow for infinite nesting. o Improved calculation of spacing value in rtGetVScreenSize(), will now properly return a spacing of 4 for A2024 monitor for example. RTPatch 1.3: o ASL Intuition message callback function/hook (FRF_DOMSGFUNC and ASLFR_IntuiMsgFunc tags) seems to require filtered Intuition messages (GadTools) instead of normal IntuiMessages. RTPatch now uses GT_FilterIMsg() and GT_PostFilterIMsg() in its message callback hook emulation to support this strange requirement. On top of this some software (e.g. PhotoWorX) seems to rely on the fr_Drawer and fr_File fields to be valid and up-to-date during the execution of the hook. In combination with ReqTools 2.2 this will now be the case. o New argument: 'IGNOREHEIGHT'. When this is switch is used RTPatch will ignore the height setting for the Asl file requester and will always use the default ReqTools setting (as set by the ReqTools preferences program). o In case of a multiselect ASL requester RTPatch will always fill in the fr_File field with the name of the first file that was selected. This is not really required, but improves compatibility with Term. o Set mp_SigTask of dummy message port to NULL and mp_Flags to PA_IGNORE. This is done to avoid all sorts of problems with some system snoopers.

TeX is a professional freeware typesetting programm. The greatest problem of TeX for the average user was - up to now - TeX's complexity and the resulting difficulty to fast and efficiently create documents. This is where TPP starts to work. Now you just have to load a form sheet, which has to be modified at the respective places only. After this the file is compiled to a TeX- file by TPP, which then itself is processed by the TeX compiler. After both compilations either the previewer or the printer driver can be invoked. TPP cooperates with PasTeX, the freeware Amiga implementation of TeX written by Georg Hessmann, and with AmigaTeX ((c) Radical Eye Software). Among TPP's features are tables, staggered lists, mailmerge, footnotes, inclusion of graphics, an ARexx-port (122 commands) and full OS2.xx/3.xx compatibility. You can make use of all functions of TeX, even if they are not supported directly, e. g. there is no editor for mathematical formulae, yet. TPP combines its user friendliness with the typesetting power of TeX in order to open the world of TeX to a totally new group of users. TPP is not only a TeX frontend. You can also use it as a normal editor and print files via the printer.device. NEW FEATURES - AmigaTeX is from now on supported. - user definable menus, keymap, and macros - completely localized (available languages: english, deutsch) - clipboard support - AppWindow, AppIcon - 11 new ARexx commands (total number of commands now: 122) HARD- AND SOFTWARE-REQUIREMENTS - Amiga OS 2.04 - at least. 2 MB RAM - at least.1,5 MB hard disk space (10MB when working with TeX) - PasTeX V1.3 or AmigaTeX DOWNLOAD Any Aminet site, e.g. Switzerland litamiga.epfl.ch 128.178.151.32 pub/aminet/ Scandinavia ftp.luth.se 130.240.18.2 pub/aminet/ Germany ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de 130.149.17.7 pub/aminet/ USA ftp.wustl.edu 128.252.135.4 pub/aminet/ DIRECTORY text/tex FILE NAMES TPP500.lha (769349 bytes) TPP501ud.lha (26252 bytes) Update from 5.00 to 5.01.

These four sets of preferences are How we orient our lives: Extraversion vs. Introversion How we prefer to gather information: Sensing vs. iNtuition How we prefer to make decisions: Thinking vs. Feeling Which sort of lifestyle we prefer: Judging vs. Perceiving These 16 types correspond to the psychological types that Carl Jung described in _Psychological Types_. They also correspond to the 16 Myers-Briggs types measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The DDLI asks you a series of multiple choice questions and calculates its results from your answers. It asks you to rank each of your answers on a scale from 1 to 7. It also asks you questions on other sets of preferences that are supposed to match various combinations of the above four sets. This is so it provides a check on itself, as it can be fallible. The DDLI comes with extensive support material. Included are full length descriptions of each one of the 16 types, the "Personality Type Summary" by Jon Noring, and my own description of the Life Pattern personality model.

We are getting ready to put a program on line here at Galaxy that will let you use a FILE_ID.DIZ in your uploads. The quesion is, can the Amiga BBS's support this????? For those of you who don't know what a FILE_ID.DIZ is, it is an ASCII file within an archive that will be extracted upond upload to be placed in the discription block. This method has been use by IBM for some time now. It will help in several ways. 1. Save time on long distances calles when you upload some files. You will not have to spend time writing in discription. 2. You will get better discriptions of files. To aften people are in a hurry and just type in a quick discription that means nothing to a lot of users. ie; BBGT234.LHA This is the Latst version KISBUT33.LHA This works real good Realy, what are these files for with a discription like that... 3. It would make the Board look more professional. ie; WABL9312.LHA 28944 01-02-94 _ _ __ ___ _ /\\ |\\ /| || // \ /\\ / \\ | \\ /|| ||(< __ / \\ /--- \\| \X || || \\_||/--- \\ / \\ ΙΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝΝ» Ί December 02 1993 Ί Ί The World-Wide Amiga BBS List!(tm) Ί Ί Volume 93.12 - Issue No.5 Ί Ί The MONTHLY Ί Ί BBS Telephone Book!(tm) Ί Ί 138 New Numbers Added - 3 Dropped Ί Ί 852 Total Numbers!

It is a lot easier sitting off line and typing in a discription than trying to type one in while your calling lon-distance.

As I've been talking about for the last couple of months, I do indeed finally have an Emplant. It arrived a week ago Thursday in a longish white box with the Emplant logo in large, friendly letters on the cover. This week begins a long (how long? I don't know yet) series on my intensive reviews on the Emplant, with notes, tests, and experiences in no particular order. The Hardware: Utilities Unlimited's Emplant, Deluxe model, V3.7 of Mac IIx emulation software. The Test Machine: Commodore Amiga 3000, 2 megs chip/8 megs fast, 68030/25 processor, 120 meg Maxtor SCSI hard drive connected through 3000 SCSI controller, 1950 monitor. Pandora's Box? Nah... ---------------------- What did I do when I got home and found the box? Took it inside and opened it, of course! Inside I found the small, neat Emplant Mac emulation binder with the Emplant hardware guide and a disk with the Mac software inside. The manuals look nice, but seem awfully small, especially considering that much of the notes in the Mac binder are incorrect. For example, the software version I got was 3.7, the most up to date at the time of this writing. It features, among other things, MMU-less operation, but the binder says otherwise. That's ok, though, because the disk comes with emplant.history, a text file tracing all the way back to v1.0, "Here's to hoping it works on all systems!" Under the manuals was a sheet of that pink anti-static mattressing stuff, under which was an Emplant Deluxe board, under which was another piece of pink anti-static mattressing stuff. Implanting the Emplant ------------------------------- I dragged my 3000 out of my bedroom and plunked it on the kitchen table. (great work surface, eh?) After unscrewing it and perusing the slot- daughterboard, my first impulse was to put it in the bottom Zorro-only slot. I was struggling with that (it wasn't the greatest leverage situation), gave up, and wound up putting it in the Zorro/Video slot, since I don't see a big future for my video slot any time soon. That wasn't too rough, and nothing else needed to be done, so I put it back together. Installing the software is very easy, using the standard Commodore install program, and the instructions are pretty straight- forward. Once that was done, I did a diagnostic on the board and everything tested fine. Getting the ROM image from an SE-30 that was quite literally being used as a doorstop onto my computer involved a 5-minute modem transfer and a simple requester-setting in the Emplant software. Easy. About that Emplant software... ---------------------------------------- There's a lot of options on the Emplant Mac setup screen...12, plus one to start the emulator. I won't break them down piece by piece, but I'll comment on ones I found interesting or had problems with... Task Control: This is where I had some problems, which I'll get into later with actually running the System 7.1 software. I had a small problem with 32 vs. 24 bit, but nothing insurmountable. Misc I/O Control: There's an option to set Mouse Emulation to hardware or software. I can't tell a difference. Start Emulator: In general, it would be nice if all of the things in the other control panels, particularly sound support, could be modified while the emulation was running...of course, that wouldn't be very genuine emulation, but it would be a nice feature. About that System software... --------------------------------------- Right now, I'm using a 27 meg partition of my drive that I first set up when I had the use of an A-Max II for several weeks a while ago. I was lazy and never ran out of space, so I didn't reformat and repartition my drive, so I took it from there. The drive had System 6.0.5 on it, which I knew would not run in 32-bit mode on Emplant (the CSAE discussion made it quite clear that 32-bit mode required 7.1). So I tried to switch down to 24 bit. It said that the MMU wouldn't let me. I could not find any manual reference to let me switch down to 24-bit mode, so I just booted directly off of the System 7.1 install disk in 32-bit mode. That worked, it just took a little while. System 7.1 thinks my 3000 is a IIci, which is just fine by me. It reports the 5.5 megs of memory I can squeeze out of Emplant correctly, which is not a universal situation. I simply installed System 7.1 for a IIx with a pretty minimal setup (I only threw the Style- and Imagewriter extensions on the HD, since I doubt I'll be hooking anything else up any time soon.) System 7.1 itself runs as flawlessly as I can tell...what can I say? It looks like a Mac. The screen refresh is definitely not as good as a real Mac, but still within acceptable parameters. In other words, it probably won't drive anyone crazy. I have had no problems with color settings, but recommend that the first thing to do is define a good- sized overscan screen back in Workbench and set the Emplant to use the NTSC Overscan driver (which you can do in Control Panels on the Mac.) The game Glypha II didn't like my screen size under good old NTSC. Drag your screens up and down, then prance that Mac around the town... ------------------------------ Ok, let's face it, one of the neatest parts of the Amiga screen-handling system is that you can take a screen and drag it up and down. Including myself, I've been present for the first week of Amiga ownership for 6 people, and when they find out about it, they love it. Of course, pulling down a Workbench screen into a DirWork or Terminus or Dpaint screen is nice, but how about pulling down a Workbench screen into a Mac screen? Go ahead! The Mac screen of course has no standard title bar, but you can use whatever you set Screen Drag to in Icontrol (even though the Left-Amiga key acts as a Mac key, it will pass N and M through, letting you flip screens normally). This DOES have some side effects, however. If the screen isn't at the top, controlling the Mac pointer can get confusing, and I've had problems having it select title bars. It's more useful as a "Hey, look what I've got running" sort of thing. The Emplant setup screen also gets in the way of all of this, but that's a minor complaint. Reservemem? Reserve THIS! -------------------------- It's true, Emplant is definitely tweak-ware for the user, and there are all sorts of ways to try to get Emplant running the best. Maybe I haven't done enough of that. But as it stands now, if I let the program essential to Emplant's operation (Reservemem, or in my case Rsrvmemii) run all the time, not too many other programs are happy about it. Usually they are things that want to take over the system, such as the game Flashback (or indeed most games), but even Terminus and Emplant don't get along: if I make a connection, even just using the Amiga's serial port, the system freezes. I have not yet had this problem with Ncomm 3.0, but it very well may be a choice of devices...at present, I use artser.device with Terminus. Well, hopefully that was a sufficient introduction to my Emplant series. Next week I'll actually run some Mac software! Until then, keep the emulators warm. @endnode @node P1-6 "Emulation Rambler Special" @toc "menu" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Emulation Rambler Special: All the Emulators in the World! %% %% By Jason Compton (jcompton@tcity.com) %% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Ok, not all of them.

Thanks to just about everyone on the channel I found out that I was grossly incorrect. When you create a group on the IRC you become the "moderator". The Amiga channel really has no moderator. Each member who enters the group needs to moderate him/herself. There are a few people who frequent the group that have special privledges (like kicking those who are annoying out of the group), but no single person controls the #amiga IRC channel. Thanks to those who took the time to explain this to me. Continuing the article, thise week we will take a look at Aminet. Aminet is a huge collection of Amiga freely distributable files that are 'mirrored' to many other sites. These sites can be accessed by anonymous FTP. There are over 5000 files on the Aminet with the expectation that it will hold over 10000 files before the end of this year (I'm sure that they are quite close as it is now). Aminet started back in January of 1992 when Urban Mueller took over a small archive of Amiga files and put them on his system, ab20. After a while the site grew too large and with the help of Peter Sjostrom of amiga.physik, the main part of Aminet moved there, with ab20 being the mirror. In May of 1992 the university ordered the Aminet archive to be shut down at amiga.physik. Chris Myers of wuarchive gave Urban an account and the disk space to move the Aminet archives there. As featured in AR127, Urban reported that an estimate of over 10000 users frequented wuarchive with over 250,000 files being downloaded a month. Aminet is currently centered on ftp.wustl.edu and ftp.cdrom.com but over 12 sites mirror Aminet making access more feasable. @endnode @node P1-9-1 "An Amiga BBS on the Internet" @toc"menu" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Amiga BBS on the Internet By Zorack %% %% zorack@bstorm.bga.com%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Hello out there all you Amiga users! I'm writing this to let everyone know about bstorm.bga.com - one of the first free CNet-Amiga systems running over the InterNet (but not the only one). Users may login to the BBS via telnet, saving long distance charges. The BBS offers over 40 online games, two MUD's, shell accounts, ftp, and soon IRC to the public. We are finally moving out of our beta testing phase with our v.32b SLIP connection. The message bases have been inactive recently - something that will hopefully be remedied as we soon will be supporting lots of high interest news groups, and FidoNet echos, and the prospect of new users. This section of the BBS is still under alot of construction - and cosysops are needed. Via FTP, bstorm offers many unique files - many of which are not currently on Aminet. Other files are located on our CD-ROM drive, which rotates the Aminet CD and the "Ultimate MOD Collection CD" - a CD which offers 667 MB of MODs to the public. All of this is free to the public!

The basic idea and concept have been heavily influenced by the shareware game "Conquest" and the Microprose game "Civilization". [Quote from first paragraph of the docs] AUTHOR/COMPANY INFO. Name : Christian Mumenthaler Address : Langgrutstr. 178 CH-8047 Zurich SWITZERLAND E-mail : mumi@stud.phys.ethz.ch (Since he's finishing his studies, this may not be available long!!) LIST PRICE This product is "giftware". If you enjoy the game and would like to send the author a donation, you can but it's not required. Suggested donation is $7 US dollars. SPECIAL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS HARDWARE 1 meg RAM or more Hard Drive recommended (if you can't wait 20 seconds) SOFTWARE Should run on all Amigas with 1+ meg Tested on A500, A2000, and A4000 COPY PROTECTION None INSTALLATION ON HARD DRIVE [1] Copy everything from the "Colonial Conquest" disk to it's own file [2] Assign "ColonialConquest" to wherever it is [3] Copy files in the Fonts, Libs, S, C, and Devs directories to your main hard drive directories by that go by the same name GENERAL INFO ON THE GAME For starters, I must say this is a fantasic PD strategy game! What's even more amazing is the fact that this game was written in AMOS. This game really shows off what AMOS can do. But enough of that, let's get on with the review of "Colonial Conquest". If you've ever seen the graphics of "Civilization", that's what the planet scenes look similar too. You can't move around on the planets surface except for the small box you see when you first colonize it. As for the graphics in space, well the planets look exactly the same (But hey! It's free so don't complain, got it?! =-) Choosing things (such as objects to produce) is all mouse driven. It makes the game all the more fun because you don't waste your time trying to figure out all the buttons on the keyboard. After starting a nice colony, I started producing ships so I could fly to other planets. A nice range of ships are available to you. Colony ships are used to carry people to other planets. Once their they can create new colonies. There are also transport ships which allow transportation of goods between the planets. Then you can get into more of the fighting ships starting with a cruiser. Basically all it is is a small warship. A step up from that is a fighter (a stronger version of the cruiser) then a dreadnought (even stronger). Last but not least comes the biggest of all ships... the BATTLESTAR! This is the mother of all ships for the human race IN THIS game. They are 64 times stronger than dreadnoughts! When you're just starting out, you don't want to create ships. First worry about starting a colony and helping it grow. A suggestion is to create food droids then mining droids first. Then you can start to create what else you want. There are a lot of things you can produce such as: food robots, granaries, nuclear power-plants, and planet destroyers. LIKES AND DISLIKES Well I like the graphics first off. The planets could have been drawn differently, but I'm sure that would have gotten tire-some since there are a total of 26 planets. I also like the point-and-click interface. Makes the game a lot easier to play. The idea for the game was very creative and, in my opinion, you couldn't add a whole lot to the game. The docs are well written. One thing I'd like to see is an AmigaGuide version of the docs. As for dislikes, I can't really think of any. Except for the fact you need to use a PAL interface. As for anything else, well my mind is drawing a blank. /\ _ //\\ \\ //==\\ \X/ \\ 's Out of 4 A's (None being lowest and 4 being highest) I rate this game with a... /\ /\ /\ 1 / _ //\\ _ //\\ _ //\\ / 2 \\ //==\\ \\ //==\\ \\ //==\\ \X/ \\ \X/ \\ \X/ \\ @endnode @node P1-11 "UseNet Review - Pirates! Gold CD32" @toc "menu" %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Usenet Review: Pirates! Gold CD32 By Brian S.Mogged %% %% (brian.s.mogged@uwrf.edu) %% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% PRODUCT NAME Pirates! GOLD CD-32 BRIEF DESCRIPTION A CD-32 strategy/action game of pirating and trading. The game takes place during the historical period of 1580-1700 in the Caribbean sea. AUTHOR/COMPANY INFORMATION Name: MicroProse Address: The Ridge Chipping Sodbury Avon BS17 6AY UK Telephone: 0454 329510 LIST PRICE I paid $44.95 (US). I do not know the list price of the product. SPECIAL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS HARDWARE A CD-32. SOFTWARE None. COPY PROTECTION None! MACHINE USED FOR TESTING Commodore CD-32. INSTALLATION No installation.... Just insert the disc into the CD-ROM drive, and the game immediate loads. REVIEW After owning a CD-32 for a few days, I decided that it was time to buy another piece of software... for no man can live on Pinball Fantasies alone. Going to my almost local Amiga store, I found out that Liberation (which was my first choice) was sold out. Then I saw that they had Pirates! GOLD. Immediately, memories of the original "Pirates!" on the 64 and on the Amiga went past my glazed eyes. I Immediately bought it, and I went home as fast as the speed limit allowed me and slid the disc into my CD-32. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE GAME For those of you who are not familiar with this game, here is a short summary of what is about. You are a pirate (of course). The object of this game is to retire with high social standing, having amassed a large fortune. How do you do this? To acquire wealth, you sack towns and other ships, and search for buried treasure. To acquire social standing, you play the game of politics with the governments in the game (England, France, Holland, and Spain). This might involve getting married to a governor's daughter, doing missions for the government, and attacking that government's enemies. GAME CONTROLS Game controls in most place are very easy to get used to, and are actually much easier than in the original game on the Amiga. I think the game makes effective use of the control without assigning ALL the buttons to have individual functions. Pirates! Gold duplicate most buttons' functions; for example, the LEFT button on CD-32 control is the same as the RIGHT button. Control in combat has been reduced to three buttons for Parry, Thrust, and Slash, plus the direction button. This setup is much better than the original Pirates! controls. GAMEPLAY This game plays almost like PIRATES! for the Amiga. The four skill levels and four and six historical time periods still exist, giving the game a varied feel. Even at the same skill level and time period, enough random events happen to make it feel different. Sword combat is still the way I've always liked it: a button press, a delay, and then a swing happens. This is a very slow, almost choreographed combat feel. Ship-to-ship combat and ship-to-fort combat is still set up so whoever has the wind and the guns has the advantage. The game interface, when not doing any combat specific activity, is simple: move your cursor over an item and highlight it. It's very easy to get used to in most incidents (see LIKES AND DISLIKES). DOCUMENTATION Well at first I said to myself, "Great -- a 47-page document. This might mean it will have detail." Nope: it is 25 pages in English and the rest of the manual is in German. The manual's information is very limited. It is enough to inform the beginner about the game, but not enough to understand what is truly happening in the background of the game. If you can read the original Pirates! manual, I recommend it, for it gives much more information on the game itself. But what I truly dislike about the manual is it is glued onto the CD's box. So to read the manual, you must have the CD box around. I hope no other CD-32 manufacturers do this practice -- it is just plain stupid. LIKES What I like about this game is that the music and sound is very good. It gives the game a real "pirate feel." The music does not interfere with the sound effects but actually enhances it. Way to go, MicroProse! I like that the CD version has nothing cut out from the computer game. I was afraid that the combat would change to more of a "slam the joypad buttons as fast you can" type combat, but that fortunately did not happen. Anything that was in the computer game is still in this game. Once the game is loaded up, disc access is almost unnoticeable, music changes quickly, and information is loaded at a fast rate, making for very smooth and enjoyable gameplay. DISLIKES: ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT ALWAYS... Some of the graphics have been slightly degraded from the original Amiga version. In some places they are (*GASP*) dithered! I wished they would take some of the pictures from the original Amiga game and combine them to make an almost perfect version of Pirates! GOLD. Another thing that annoys me is that you have to walk your character in a town. In the original Pirates! you could just pick from a pop up menu. But now with the "advance" of technology, you have to control your character and walk him to the location. Making a quick stop at a town is now a long, boring walk. THERE IS NO MAP OUTSIDE OF THE GAME!!!! The map of the Caribbean sea is inside of the game. While that guarantees that you will never lose the map, it also ensures you that it is will take you forever to find a spot on that map. For myself it would be much faster to look up the location on a real (paper) map. Another complaint, not a limitation of Pirates! GOLD in itself, is that you can have only one saved game in CD-32 Flash Memory. This save takes up 78% of flash memory; so if you know that a friend is coming over to play Pinball Fantasies, MAKE SURE YOU LOCK THAT SAVE FILE IN FLASH MEMORY. I already have had my Pirates! GOLD save file erased once and I will never let it happen again.... COMPARISON TO OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS It is natural to compare this game to Pirates! for the Amiga. Pirates! GOLD CD-32 has better sound most of the time, better interface, better music, and a little better outside graphics. Pirates! shines with its better graphics overall. BUGS Wow, no bugs that I can find. I am in deep shock: this is not the MicroProse that I have known and loved. :-) VENDOR SUPPORT I have not called up the vendor for any reason. I have not had any problems yet. CONCLUSIONS Overall, I really like this version of Pirates!. If you already own the original Pirates! and just bought a CD-32 and are considering it, I would say think a little more about it. But for those people who have never played one of the mind numbing versions of Pirates!, then this game should be on your list, for this is one of MicroProse best game series and ranks up there with Civilization. My rating is 4 longswords and 1 rapier out of 5 longswords.

Plink went out of business in May, 1991 and The Amiga Zone's staff moved to Portal the next day. The Zone has just celebrated its second anniversary on Portal. The Amiga press raves about The Amiga Zone, when compared to its competition. If you live in the San Jose, CA area, then you can dial Portal directly. If you live elsewhere, you can reach Portal through any SprintNet (formerly Telenet) indial anywhere in the USA. If you have an account on another Internet-connected system, you can connect to Portal using the UNIX Telnet programs, from anywhere in the industrialized world. Delphi and BIX users can now Telnet into Portal for a flat $19.95 a month, with *unlimited* use. Some of Portal/Amiga Zone's amazing features include: · Over 1.5 GIGabytes of Amiga-specific files · The *entire* Fred Fish collection of freely distributable software, online. · Fast, Batch Zmodem file transfer protocol. Download up to 100 files at once, of any size, with one command. · Twenty Amiga vendor areas with participants like AmigaWorld, ASDG, Soft-Logik, Black Belt, Apex Publishing, Stylus, Prolific, NES. · 35 "regular" Amiga libraries with thousands of files. Hot new stuff arrives daily. · No upload/download "ratios" EVER. Download as much as you want, as often as you want, and never feel pressued doing it. · Live, interactive nightly chats with Amiga folks whose names you will recognize. Special conferences. Random chance prize contests. Famous Amiga folks aren't the exception on Portal, they're the norm. · Vast Message bases where you can ask questions about *anything* Amiga related and get quick replies from the experts. · Amiga Internet mailing lists for Imagine, DCTV, LightWave, HyperAmi, Director and Landscapes are fed right into the Zone message bases. Read months worth of postings. They don't scroll off, ever! No need to clutter your mailbox with them. · FREE unlimited Internet Email. Your Portal account gets you a mailbox that's connected to the world. Send letters of any length to computer users in the entire industrialized world. No limits. No extra charges. No kidding! · Portal has the Usenet. Thousands of "newsgroups" in which you can read and post articles about virtually any subject you can possibly imagine. · Other Portal SIGs (Special Interest Groups) online for Mac, IBM, Sun, NeXT, UNIX, Science Fiction, Writers, amateur radio, and a graphics SIG with thousands of GIF files to name just a few. ALL Portal SIGs are accessible to ALL Portal customers with NO surcharges ever. · The entire UPI/Clarinet/Newsbytes news hierarchy ($4/month extra) An entire general interest newspaper and computer news magazine. · Portal featues an exciting package of Internet features: IRC, FTP, TELNET, MUDS, LIBS. Free to all Portal customers with your account. Internet Services is a menu driven version of the same kinds of utilities you can also use from your Portal UNIX shell account. · All the files you can FTP. All the chatting you can stand on the IRC. And on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) you can talk live, in real time with Amiga users in the U.K., Europe, Australia, the Far East, 24 hours a day. · Our exclusive PortalX by Steve Tibbett, the graphical "front end" for Portal which will let you automatically click'n'download your waiting email, messages, Usenet groups and binary files! Reply to mail and messages offline using your favorite editor and your replies are sent automatically the next time you log into Portal. (PortalX requires Workbench 2.04 or higher) · And Portal does NOT stick it to high speed modem users. Whether you log in at 1200 or 2400 or 9600 or 14.4K you pay the same low price. How does all that sound? Probably too good to be true. Well, it IS true. Portal Signup or for more information: 408-973-9111 (voice) 9a.m.-5p.m. Mon-Fri, Pacific Time 408-725-0561 (modem 3/12/2400) 24 hours every day 408-973-8091 (modem 9600/14400) 24 hours every day or enter "C PORTAL" from any Sprintnet dial-in in the USA, or telnet to "portal.com" from anywhere.

Portal is a PCPursuit "Direct Access Facility" thus connection to Portal with a PCP account is simply a matter of entering C PORTAL,PCP-ID,PCP-PASSWORD at the SprintNet login prompt instead of C PORTAL. Note: Portal Direct 9600/14400 bps service is availble for both USR HST modems, and any V32/V32.bis modems. There are dozens of direct-dial high speed lines into Portal. No busy signals! SprintNet 9600bps service is V.32 modem protocol only. Again, Portal does NOT surcharge high speed modem users! Portal subscribers who already have an account on an Internet-capable system elsewhere, can use that system's "telnet" program to connect to Portal for $0.00 an hour. That's right ZERO. From anywhere in the world. If you're in this category, be sure to ask the Portal reps, when you signup, how to login to Portal from your existing Internet account. Call and join today. Tell the friendly Portal Customer Service representative, "The Amiga Zone and Amiga Report sent me!" [Editor's Note: Be sure to tell them that you are an Amiga user, so they can notify the AmigaZone sysops to send their Welcome Letter and other information!] That number again: 408-973-9111.

While other online services cater to computer novices, BIX is the place for knowledgeable people to go for answers to tough questions. You're likely to find many others in similar situations who can offer advice, give technical assistance, or point you in the right direction. BIX is divided into areas called conferences, each devoted to a particular area of interest. They range from algorithms to windows, from writers to Amiga. Conferences are categorized into groups, usually referred to as exchanges, so that you can browse through whatever groups interest you and see a list of the conferences it contains. These are some of the exchanges on BIX: amiga.exchange - the place for Amiga developers and enthusiasts byte - the full text of each issue of BYTE magazine; source code too e.and.l - Entertainment and Leisure; music, pets, games, more ibm.exchange - everything from OS/2 to PC clones mac.exchange - Mac news, support, software, advice professionals - consultants, engineers, financiers gather here programmers - some of the best brains in the business! wix - the Information Exchange for Windows; Windows Magazine online writers.ex - the professional and amateur writer's exchange *** FULL INTERNET ACCESS! *** BIX also features access to the Internet - you can use FTP to transfer files from sites all over the world, telnet to log on to other online services, schools, and research sites, and send Internet mail to millions of people at services like DELPHI, CompuServe, America Online, MCI Mail, and other sites and services. Services like "WHOIS" and "Finger" are also available, with more features on the way (like USENET newsgroups; our newsreader is currently being tested and should be available very soon!) There are no usage fees or special charges for Internet access - it's all part of your BIX subscription. ============================== Rates and Connect Information: ============================== BIX membership costs $13 per month, plus connect time. There are several different ways to connect: SprintNet* $3/hour evenings/weekends $9/hour weekdays Tymnet:** $3/hour evenings/weekends $9/hour weekdays (SprintNet and Tyment rates shown are for 48 contiguous US states only.) Tymnet Canada: $4/hr eves/wkends $9/hour weekdays Tymnet Hawaii: $10/hr eves/wkends $20/hour weekdays Telnet(via Internet): $1/hour, round the clock Direct dial (Boston): $2/hour, round the clock (up to 9600 bps) * SprintNet daytime hours are from 6am to 7pm, M-F, ET. ** Tymnet daytime hours are from 7am to 6pm, M-F, ET.

When we receive it here, we'll authorize your account to make reverse charged calls. If you want to access BIX right away, contact your local PTT to set up a prepaid account. You'll pay your local carrier for your calls to BIX in advance, so there's no waiting period or verfication needed. Or, connect at BIX via telnet to x25.bix.com. SprintNet international calls from most locations are $24 an hour. Tymnet international charges vary, but are generally between $20-$30 an hour. ==================== Billing Information: ==================== You can charge your monthly BIX membership fees to your Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express card.
