Opinions Issue 4 (c) 1992 Linton Dawe.
This is the fourth issue of the Opinions disc
magazine produced by Linton Dawe. It contains
loads of features including general information,
public domain pages and information on the latest
releases from Liquid Data Software. This issue
fills a complete disc - infact I had to cut the
white space of most of the page header sprites
to fit it on - so don't try copying anything
else onto it!
To start the magazine disc, just double click on
!Opinions4. This will bring up a filer window
conatining 3 applications - !Colour!, !TheMag!
and !ThePD!. !TheMag! is the main magazine,
!Colour! contains some pretty graphics screens and
!ThePD! contains some of the public domain
software mentioned in the P.D. pages.
To read the main magazine double click on the
!TheMag! icon in the filer window to load the main
program. After loading, a contents page will be
displayed and you should click on the icon for the
section that interests you (any button). The
screen will fade out and after a short wait the
first page of your selected section will be
displayed. Clicking on Next Page will take you to
the next page in the magazine (even if it takes
you into the next section) and clicking on
Contents Page returns you to the contents page.
Once again, any mouse button is allowed. When you
have finished, press Escape to quit the Opinions
text reader.
Clicking on !ThePD! brings up a filer window
containing the software itself. Most of the
software in this section has it's own !Help files
and is fairly self explanatory to use with some
knowledge of RISC OS and common sense.
Click on !Colour! to view the colour graphics
screens and press escape when you have finished.
Further issues of Opinions are planned and I would
welcome any articles by readers for publication in
a later issue. See the magazine for details.
If you have a particularly badly stocked or
expensive source of P.D. and you wish to obtain
future issues of Opinions or any of the P.D.
software mentioned in the Public Domain pages but
not included in !ThePD! directly from me, you can
do so by sending a blank disc and a £1 coin to
cover costs, but this should not prove too much of
a problem to most readers. If this disc cost you
seriously more than about £2 then I would recomend
that you find another P.D. library - it is usually
possible to obtain software for around £1.50 or
less per disc.
If for any reason you would like to contact Linton
Dawe, Liquid Data Software or Opinions Magazine
(they all come to the same person initially) then
please write to this address:
2 Crockers Wood Cottages,
Coldharbour,
Dorking,
Surrey,
RH5 6HE.

This issue was finished in late October 1992 and
should find it's way to a PD library some time
soon. Enjoy the mag!
