- What's on the disk?
- -------------------
-
- We're delighted to present two heavyweight exclusive editions to
- complement articles in this issue:
-
- Thing v1.09e
- ------------
- Exclusive edition
- Shareware
- Arno Welzel and Thomas Binder
- The brand new and eagerly awaited English release of this premier
- Shareware Desktop for TOS and compatible operating systems.
- Thing offers animated icons, background images, group files, ST-Guide
- on-line help, an auto-locator, long filename, MultiTOS, Drag&Drop, Kobold,
- ALICE, TOS2GEM and AV protocol support along with many other state of the
- art features.
- Thing is a modular desktop which allows the user to assign their favourite
- utilities. In practice this means you need to install a file viewer in
- order to read files from the Desktop. Since you'll probably have ST-Guide
- installed to read the on-line help it's the ideal choice.
-
- Cystal Atari Browser (CAB) v1.5
- -------------------------------
- Exclusive edition
- Freeware
- Alexander Clauss
- CAB is currently the only graphical HTML document browser available for
- the Atari platform. Happily it's also a full featured, stylish GEM
- application, offering complete HTML2, most HTML3 and many NetScape
- features. Includes ST-Guide format hypertext help, fully configurable via
- stylish GEM interface.
- This latest release now downloads text before images which makes it
- possible to scroll through the page and follow links without hanging
- around to download unwanted pages. The mouse pointer changes to a pointing
- finger and displays the link in the window status line and animated GIFs
- are supported.
-
- STOS Compiler Fix version v1.0
- ------------------------------
- PD
- Les Greenhalgh
- STOS officially only supports TOS versions up to TOS 1.62 but this fix can
- insert tables for up to 11 different TOS versions into STOS programs at
- compile time automatically, which means your compiled programs can run
- equally happily on a TOS 1.0 ST and the latest Falcon TOS 4.04
-
- AVR and SYN format samples
- --------------------------
- (c) Atari Computing
- (c) Martin Milner
- This sample collection was created using Sound Chip Synth to accompany the
- review in this issue. The AVR files can be played using Atari's own System
- Audio Manager (SAM) and many other utilities. The SYN files are for use
- with Sound Chip Synth.
-
- Did you hear anyone say "Goodbye"?
- ----------------------------------
- Author
- Donald A. Thomas, Jr. (10/4/96)
- On Tuesday, July 30, 1996, Atari Corporation presented its shares to JTS
- Corporation - a disk drive manufacturer. Atari moved out of its Sunnyville
