The X-Phile

The unopened phile...

Issue #4 of AtariPhile will be out when it's ready.
Expect it when you see it!!!
You know it's gonna be worth the wait. Amongst other things we plan to have...

Part two of the Positive Image review - find out how, and why, Colin turned Terri Hatcher into a Redhead.
Kev ZIPs out of the ARC, leaves the ZOO and for a LHARC continues his series of feature articles... with a look at archiving.
The Star.Accessories section will continue - let us know if you want to write for this section... or any other part of AP for that matter.
There will be a show report, hopefully a review of Nemesis and Adam Foster continues his POV ratracing tutorial.

The programs used to produce this HTML issue of AtariPhile are:

CAB - Crystal Atari Browser
Everest - Text Editor
Imagecopy - Image Utility
Kandinsky - Vector Graphics
Positive Image - Graphic Processing
Rotate - Vector font utility
Textstyle - Text styling utility
True Paint - Bitmap Graphics

Other programs have been used by the contributors, such as Apex Media, GEM Bench, GEMView, Protext and Papyrus.

We try to produce AtariPhile to look good in all video modes, but obviously leaning towards the higher resolutions. If, in colour mode, you think things are not looking quite right it may be because CAB still does not handle forced colours correctly accross 16 and 256 modes. Eg: The command 'gray' gives a nice light grey in 16 colour mode but a dark gray in 256. Likewise 'silver' gives the light grey in 256 colour mode yet it's white in 16 colours. We can't win!
To see AtariPhile at it's best set your CAB Display Options to:

Window - Light Grey

Text - Blue

Links - Red

And switch off 'use document settings'

We hope you enjoyed issue #3 of AtariPhile
