Full documentation is included on Side B.¢¢ Reaction and Concentration Tester is a great new program by Kevin Cooke. Instructions are available within the program itself.¢¢ Cassette-Disk Master is the latest tape to disk menu system from a new English company called MADSOFT. The makers claim that it will transfer ANY cassette software to disk with the resulting file being compatible with most other common menus (including Howfen DOS and Transdisk). From my brief trials, their claims seem to be correct! There are no docs supplied but the program is very easy to use - have a play around with the menu options and you should be transferring cassettes to disk in no time.¢¢ I'm sure you'll enjoy these new titles. It's great to see new software continuing to arrive for the Atari 8-bit in 1995! Bryan and Kevin are true 8-bit diehards! Well done lads - keep 'em coming!¢¢¢¢Enjoy!¢¢Stu.¢
