ASGARD MOUSE IMPROVED AND REDUCED IN PRICE
July 1, 1992: Asgard Software is pleased to announce that the
suggested retail price of the Asgard Mouse has been reduced 20%
from $49.95 to $39.95. Recent efforts to redesign the mouse have
produced a more reliable and less costly product - and we are
passing on the savings to our customers.
Installed by simply attaching to an RS232 connector, the mouse
can be used by simply plugging it in and running any Asgard Mouse
compatible program. A disk included with the device contains a
driver for using the mouse with TI-Artist/TI Artist Plus, as well
as two demonstration programs.
Until November 1, 1992, we will also be including a copy of our
highly rated Classic Checkers (please see MICROpendium for a
recent review) - a $14.95 value - free with every order! Not only
do you get a great mouse you also get a great game designed for
use with it - at one low price.
Because of the effort necessary to ensure a quality, consistent
product, shipments of the Asgard Mouse once were sporadic at
times. These problems have been recently resolved. At this time,
and in the future, all mouse orders will be shipped as they are
received, and the item is always "in stock".
The Asgard Mouse is the most well supported mouse for the TI-
99/4A. Software titles available for it from Asgard include:
Y.A.P.P., Page Pro Poster Maker, TI-Pei, Classic Checkers, Batch
It! 2.0, the Mouse Developer's Package, and the recently released
Page Composer.
PAGE PRO PAGE COMPOSER RELEASED
July 1, 1992: Asgard Software is pleased to announce the release
and immediate availability of the newest member of the Page Pro
99 family- Page Pro Page Composer, by Chris Bobbitt.
This 2-disk software package extends Page Pro's desktop
publishing capabilities with many exciting new functions not
available in any other TI-99/4A or Geneve program.
For the first time in one program you can create documents of
almost 1000 pages in size; print pages in either landscape or
portrait page orientations; and create pages in a range of
different printer resolutions. Each page in your document can
contain up to 30 pictures of any size. The extended printer
support means that even the largest pictures converted from PCX
files with Asgard's GOFER, or MacPaint format with our Pix Pro,
can be displayed and printed as-is.
While Page Composer can easily work by itself, it works best when
used with Page Pro 99 and compatible artwork. In conjunction with
Page Pro 99 it is a powerful took for laying out newsletters and
periodicals, reports and other documents.
Page Composer is not only a capable addition to the Page Pro
family, it is also uniquely designed. Page Composer is the first
program for the TI-99/4A written to work specifically with a
mouse such as the Asgard Mouse. Like modern mouse software for
other computers, Page Composer features: an icon interface where
all program functions are selected by simply "clicking" a
picture; scroll bars and arrows for moving the "window" around
pages; "dialogue boxes" where users select options and specify
filenames; "buttons" for making choices between options; and much
more. While you still need to type to enter filenames and page
numbers, joystick or Asgard Mouse users never have to otherwise
touch the keyboard!
Page Composer includes a collection of example documents and
artwork, including a sample newsletter, and an extensive,
illustrated manual. It requires a TI-99/4A with 32K, at least one
DS/SD disk drive (2 or more recommended), and an Epson or
compatible printer. While compatible with both the keyboard and
joysticks, the program is most easily used with an Asgard Mouse.
Page Composer is also fully compatible with the HFDC and the
Myarc Geneve 9640.
The suggested retail price of Page Composer is $17.95. Owners of
Page Pro 99 can purchase the program for $14.95 by including a
photocopy of the program disk with their order. Please add $3.00
S&H for all orders.
