Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of Atari!
^
Sad
Here on the disk is a few programs that I have come across that work nicely
with the ST EMULATOR. You will find these programs under 'ATARIPRG' which
must be copied to an ATARI ST BOOT DISK. You can use Dos2Dos(on this disk)
or anything you want that will copy ST/IBM files.
ABOUT THE CONVERSION
Well I converted this nifty program by looking at an English version of
the TOS and translating it to the german version of the Emulator. Since
word sizes are different, you will notice some strange charaters on some
requestors(I use this term very lightly when talking about ST crap). Some
of the requestors may look wierd, but at least you can read it! I hope I
got all of the German out of the program, however, I did leave both files
uncrunched so if you have one pop up, you can use FILEMASTER(also on the
disk) to hunt it down and convert it!
KEYBOARD AND PAL STUFF
I changed the keyboard on both files so that the Y key is really the Y
key and the Z key is really the Z key! After borrowing a cheezy ST 'expert'
book(again-term is used lightly) I found out that TOS can't figure out on
its own which mode(NTSC/PAL) its in(Where Kickstart checks Agnus) so after
the TOS(Toy Operating System) version number and date, Atari puts in
003(pal) or 000(NTSC) so the system knows.....yawn. So I have to programs
that have each. I noticed some programs would not work on the pal one(IBM
emmy for example says 'Sorry, this program will not run on a European TOS).
Enjoy,
The 'club'
