- New, from Trygve Lode, the person who brought you "Lettuce Whiz,"
- the most convenient green food topping ever to come in an aerosol can;
- "Sweet Nothings" all cotton-candy swimwear; and "Burger Kling," the only
- spray-on treatment for all-beef patties that makes them really stick to
- the ribs or any other porous or non-porous surface; it's
-
- HAMVGA, the final frontier!
-
- Yes, HAMVGA, the program that lets you--yes, you--display Amiga
- HAM format pictures on an IBM VGA or MCGA screen with a minimum of muss,
- fuss, mess, and mental anguish. It's easy to use--all you have to do is
- type in "hamvga" followed by the name of the ham format picture you want
- to display and within moments, the HAM picture will be displayed on your
- very own VGA or MCGA screen. (Don't forget, the secret default file
- extension is ".HAM".)
-
- It is possible that hamvga might not be able to decode a valid
- HAM file (although I haven't found one yet); if this happens it will
- issue the error message "I can't do it!" and return to dos. But,
- that's just to make you want to see "HAMVGA 1.1, The Sequel."
- (Coming soon to a bulletin board near you.)

- What the critics had to say about HAMVGA:
-
- "I loved it. It was fast-paced, well directed, and kept my attention so
- well that the woman next to me ate my popcorn and I didn't even notice."
- --Rex Reed
-
- "A real winner. The scenery was colorful and the background music
- sustained the mood without being intrusive--it was like 'The Sound of
- Music' on roller skates."
- --Gene Siskel
-
- "You're a drooling idiot, Gene--there wasn't any background music.
- Besides, I didn't think the position shown in Sarah7.ham is physically
- possible for anyone with a spine."
- --Roger Ebert
-
- "I had trouble using it since I couldn't see the keyboard. Hey, Roger,
- can I get a copy of Sarah7.ham from you?"
- --Gene Shalit
-
-
- And, if you rush out right now and copy it onto a 3-1/2" disk, it'll
- even make Julienne Fries!

-
- If you enjoy HAMVGA, feel free (even encouraged) to send
- me some of your favorite picture files (HAM, IFF, GIF, and
- MAC are all appreciated). I can read 360K, 1.2M, 720K,
- and 1.44M formats, so send whatever is most convenient for
- you. My address is
