- CENTEK's Falcon030 screen management software offers the following
- features:
- + Extended resolutions
- + Virtual screen, with choice of scrolling options
- + Screen/Time saver, Energy Star compliant
- + Shut down delay in seconds and by keys
- + [Alternate] key during resolution switch disables the extended
- resolution. It's the ultimate option because it can change the system
- boot resolution!
- Some screen modes are designed for use with the CENTurbo II accelerator,
- such as the 16-bit/pixel in 640x480 which requires a faster video clock
- but standard Falcon030's can still benefit from screen modes of 800x592 at
- 52Hz in up to 256 colours and giant virtual screens with smooth scrolling.

- Eliza v1.3
- Freeware
- Matthias Jaap
- Eliza is a GEM-based version of the old computer-psychatrist program Eliza
- developed in the 70's as an early example of artificial intelligence. Some
- American students believed they were talking to a real person! Because
- they answered every question as if Eliza was a real person the program
- could provide sensible responses even though it only recognised a few
- words.
- Now's your chance to talk to Eliza. This version understands many more
- words than the original TOS version and is more "intelligent" - there are
- various key words or other events which cause special reactions from Eliza
- - see how many you can find!
