- INFORMATION
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- ATOZBOOK - "The Atari A to Z" Book Shareware ASCII Text Release
- Jargon, terminology and acronyms are the staple diet of any professional,
- technologist and hobbyist. The world of computing is no exception and to
- the uninitiated home or small business user, magazines, manuals and books
- can be very daunting. Written by someone who understands these
- frustrations and needs, "The Atari A to Z" isn't just a convenient
- encyclopaedia of modern computer terminology but a specific reference
- source of material pertaining to Atari computers for the ST, TT and Falcon
- enthusiast.
-
- Whether you play games on an ST, run your business on a TT, or write music
- on a Falcon, this book is aimed at helping you get to grips with those
- magazine articles that are more perplexing than enlightening. In here, you
- will find many explanations, mini-articles and a plethora of other
- miscellaneous bits and pieces to help you gain a better understanding of
- your Atari computer. The material in this book was written with all Atari
- users in mind. There are simple definitions for the uninitiated and
- technical data for the experienced. You take what you want, when you want
- it. "The Atari A to Z" is a valuable addition to any Atari user's library.
-
- The book files are direct ASCII conversions of the Protext files used for
- the fifth printing. Some typographical changes have been made to keep
- within the bounds of the Atari character set. Tabs were replaced with
- spaces. A carriage return and line feed terminates each line.
-
- There have been some minor textual changes and some updates and revisions,
- especially in the Appendices. On the whole, however, the book remains as
- it did in 1995 and is a little out-of-date in a few areas. But there are
- 2,239 entries, 101 tables and 128,000 words here - the vast majority of
- which is still pertinent and waiting to be picked through as and when you
- want.
-
- "The Atari A to Z" book text files package is shareware and costs a
- minimum of 5 UK Pounds.
-
- A disk containing "The Atari A to Z" book files may be obtained from Mark
- S Baines direct costing £6.00 (six UK pounds) in the UK and EU and £7.00
- (seven UK pounds) for the rest of the world. This includes, of course, the
- shareware registration fee and covers postage. The disk will also contain
- the other files listed here.

- FONTS
- ¯¯¯¯¯
- MSB_ANSI - MSB style Atari ANSI system fonts
- These four GDOS bitmapped fonts are equivalent to the three Atari system
- fonts and based on them, but include the ANSI characters suitable for
- comms on-line use and those using so-called IBM printer fonts in their
- word processor. In effect the fonts are those officially called PC-8 Code
- Page 437 on the PC. Protext users will also find them particularly useful.
-
- MSBATARI - MSB style Atari system fonts
- These four GDOS bitmapped fonts are equivalent to the three Atari system
- fonts and based on them. They were designed for those who wanted the
- clarity and consistency of the MSB_ANSI fonts but wanted the Atari
- character set instead of the ANSI characters.
-
- For both styles, the four fonts are in point sizes 20, 10, 9 and 8 which
- are equivalent to the Atari system fonts 32x16, 16x8, 8x8 and 6x6. They
- are based on the standard Atari fonts but greatly altered to make them
- easier to read and typographically consistent.
-
- The 8x8 9 point font is particularly readable and suitable for constant
- use where programs allow.
-
- These fonts can be installed as normal system fonts by NVDI, NeoDesk,
- Fontkit or Warp 9 users.
-
- If you ask nicely Mark will also add, subtract or alter any characters
- that you want to customise the font to your particular needs. He's good
- like that :-)
