- The following are full descriptions of the applications that are
- included in "The Landmark Series" by New Horizon Software.
-
-
- 128 Dual Top V3.0 and 64 Dual Top V3.0
-
- Dual Top is everything you ever wanted from the Desk Top and more.
- Full 4 drive support, Ram drive priority system, two windows for
- displaying file listings, one click access to all major file functions,
- comprehensive error reports, multiple user options, and compatibility
- with the Desk Top and GateWay are some of the features that make Dual Top
- the premier Desk Top replacement.
-
- Dual Top provides full four drive support when an REU is present.
- Disk and file functions can be performed on all of the four drives. You
- can even run your applications from C and D. Since Configure does not
- support four drives, the fourth drive can be added from within Dual Top.
-
- The Ram Drive Priority was designed to take full advantage of your
- Ram Drives. When a data file is double clicked, the Ram Drive will always
- be searched first for the parent application. This feature allows you to
- have totally different configurations than were previously possible.
-
- Dual Top uses a split window system for displaying your files. By
- using this method the user has a larger perspective into the system. The
- windows may be used independently or together for copying files between
- two drives. Each window can hold 144 files (the maximum allowed in GEOS)
- and displays up to 16 files at a time.
-
- The most commonly used file functions are activated by the buttons
- located in the middle of the screen. With this setup, it only takes a
- single click of the mouse to activate the function.
-
- Dual Top's error reports do not leave you out in the cold. When an
- error is detected during a disk or file operation, the following
- information is given to help you pinpoint the location of the error: the
- disk name, the file name, the track and sector where the error occurred
- and a description of the error. This information allows the user to
- repair disks that show errors during validation.
-
- With Dual Top's greater perspective you no longer have to return to
- the drive that the last application was run from. Dual Top can be
- configured to list the directory of any of the four drives when Dual Top
- is entered. This is particularly handy if you use separate drives for
- data and applications. You would just set up Dual Top to automatically
- list the files on your data drive so that you can immediately select
- another file from your data disk.
-
- The Auto Overwrite option allows you to disable the "Ok to overwrite
- file?" dialog box. This option allows you to back up multiple files from
- the REU to disk without having to approve every copy.
-
- To help search through large file listings you can sort them by name.
- Dual Top can be set up to automatically sort the files when a disk is
- opened or you can turn the sorting off and sort disks as needed with a
- single key stroke.
-
- Dual Top is completely compatible with the Desk Top and GateWay. Dual
- Top can be run from both the Desk Top and GateWay by double clicking on
- Dual Top's file name or icon. You can also run the Desk Top or GateWay
- from Dual Top by double clicking on it's file name just like any other
- application.
-
- The above features are what make Dual Top the premier alternative to
- the Desk Top.
-
-
- Geo Tet and VDC Tet
-
- Tet is a full color game of logic and skill. The goal of the game is
- to keep the pieces from stacking up to the top of the screen. To
- accomplish this you must form complete lines across the game field. When
- a complete line is formed it is removed from the game. There are 7 pieces
- that can be rotated and shifted to form the lines. Tet also features
- multiple game options. The "Option" control box allows you to adjust the
- number of starting lines, the speed that the pieces are dropped and the
- speed of advancing lines. By mixing the different options the game
- difficulty can be adjusted to match your skill level. The keyboard
- controls are set up for left or right handed players.
-
-
- Geo Solitaire and VDC Solitaire
-
- Solitaire is a full color version of the game "Klondike". The goal of
- the game is to end with all of the suits in sequential order at the top
- of the screen. Solitaire also features multiple decks to choose from. Geo
- Solitaire features a 3 color pointer in the shape of a hand that actually
- "picks up" the cards and moves them in real time. VDC Solitaire features
- 640x440 resolution that allows for very detailed cards.
-
-
- Checkerboard
-
- The Checkerboard is a full color automated checkerboard. There are no
- rules and no computer player so you can play any game that can be played
- on a real checkerboard. Pieces can be moved in any way you want. You can
- remove the pieces from the board, add new pieces to the board and stack
- two pieces to "king" a checker. When you point and click on a checker,
- the piece is picked up and moved in real time.
-
-
- Lace II
-
- Lace II is a 128 only picture display program. Lace can display
- GeoPaint, IPaint and Basic8 picture formats. GeoPaints can be displayed
- in the following resolutions: 640x400, 640x498 and 640x592. IPaint is a
- 640x400 format. The following Basic8 formats are supported: 640x200 -
- 640x500 picture size, 8x2, 8x4, 8x8, 8x16 and monochrome color formats.
- All displays are in full color. The GeoPaint pictures have a color
- correction option that will simulate the 64 screen colors when activated.
-
-
- System Requirements
-
- All of the applications in the Landmark Series require GEOS V2.0.
-
- 64 Dual Top requires an REU to be able to use different drive types
- and 4 drive support. For example, you cannot use a 1541 and a 1581
- without an REU.
-
- GeoTet, Geo Solitaire and Checkerboard are 40 column applications
- that require a Commodore 64 or a Commodore 128 with at least one drive.
-
- 128 Dual Top requires a Commodore 128 with at least 1 drive and a 80
- column monitor. 128 Dual Top does not require an REU to use multiple
- drive types but does require the REU for 4 drive support.
-
- VDC Tet, VDC Solitaire and Lace II all require a Commodore 128 with
- 64K of VDC RAM with an 80 column monitor.
