This is an example of what this program can do. The hypertext can actually do much more than move to other parts of the mag; its possible to play modules or samples, display pictures, open windows, etc. If you look at the text of these articles in a word processor, you will see the codes that are needed for this (they are, in fact, very similar to HTML).
<H2>Try these...
<H3>
<A SAM="ViolinRiff1">A noise...</A> - <I>You mustn't have the music playing!</I>
<A PIC="PSLogo3.IFF">A picture...</A> - <I>Click the mouse to return to here.</I>
<A CLI="c:NewShell">Open CLI Window...</A> - <I>Use Left Amiga+A to see the results!</I>
<A CLI="Work:Demos/TP5-40K/Abyss.Symbol">Run Demo!</A> - <I>Click mouse to return!</I>
Now the mag itself. The main purpose will be, of course, for articles on programming, supplemented with example source code. As this is a multi-programming language mag, any articles should preferably be fairly general, and examples of code should be documented.
If you want to submit some articles, just send them on a floppy in normal ASCII format. Don't worry about hypertext and style definitions, and graphics, etc; just provide any extra files, and tell me how you want it to be viewed, so I can sort it out. If you want to send complete programs (small ones, please), it may also be possible to execute them via the disk-mag hypertext.
As well as articles, we could have a questions and answers section; if a PentriSoft member can't answer, we can ask readers for help. And of course they'll be a letters page. Obviously, this can't be on the first issue... unless we write to ourselves!
We could also have things like graphics, samples, anything at least slightly helpful to programmers.
Distribution? Ideally, via the Public Domain, though it would be helpful if someone could upload it to bulletin boards and onto the Aminet.
