<+> <+>› *ANTIC* THE CATALOG* or Gone,but not› forgotten!› by JIM CUTLER, LANCASHIRE, ENGLAND› Member of OL' HACKERS A. U.G., Inc.› --------------------------› THE START›› I bought my 800XL in the early› 1980's, being advanced in years, the› spate of Atari games left me totally› unmoved. Those productivity programs› which were available were few and› exorbitantly priced, due to the jolly› idea, still practiced by importers,› of taking the dollar price, and› calling it pounds sterling (saves› printing new price lists). It was at› that time that I discovered ANTIC,and› more importantly, THE ANTIC CATALOG.› › AH, NEW IDEAS›› Here there were programs,› remarkably different, with› comprehensive documentation and at a› reasonable price.›› Games such as Colossus Chess› v3.00, XTAL(a Starship game),› KARATEKA -karate game, were also› included.›› Graphics were catered to by ENVISION.› RAMBRANDT, Graphic Shop, Lister+,› Picture +, Graphic Master, etc.›› EDUCATION programs included› EARTHVIEWS, STARBASE, STARWARE,› MAPWARE, SPEEDREADING and MEMOREASE.›› PRODUCTIVITY was represented by › HOMECARD ,CREATIVE PROCESS, BASICVIEW› (watch your prog. execute line by› line), INTERLISP/65, CALCMAGIC,› SHERLOCK 1050, DATAMANAGER XL, DEEP › BLUE C, and many others.›› RECOMMENDATION›› I very strongly suggest that if you› see any of these grab them, you may› not see their likes again.›› Submitted by Jim Cutler-19th May› 1993› >=< END >=<››
