SERVICES AND OFFERS FROM MEGADISC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As many of you have realized by now, MEGADISC is committed to
providing a good, low-cost information service for the Amiga
community. This magazine is the flagship of our effort, but we are
keen to expand our services, and this depends primarily on you
buying the disc, so that we can continue our efforts.
Services already available to our readers are:
1. Copies of the entire Fish Disk library, along with other
public domain discs, such as the Casa Amiga series, and
a variety of software sent to us by our local and overseas
contacts.
These include -
* Dave Wecker's RAY-TRACING PROGRAMS, which
create graphics such as were used for the
"Juggler" animation demo.
* RAY-TRACE PICTURES set up for instant viewing.
* JUGGLER animation demo.
* Two discs devoted to TRUE BASIC with a
large number of demo programs and docs.
* Perry Papadopoulos' "Trip to Mars" full-
disc animation, a short section of which
was on MEGADISC1.
* A number of ART DISCS by local artists.
Also available is a Catalogue on disc for the Fish Disk
series, worth getting so that you can browse through at
will and decide which of the 53 now available you'd like
to get.
2. We have prepared some "Theme Discs" of Public Domain
software, and there will be more available according to
demand, so tell us what you'd like to have.
Currently available are:
* A disc containing all the best COMMUNICATIONS
programs, with documents - they are excellent
and work as well as any commercial stuff.
* GRAPHICS DEMOS #1- a collection of the best graphics
demo programs written for the Amiga.
* A FONTS disc, with dozens of Public Domain
fonts, documents, how-to articles, etc. Jazz
up your screen and printed output. See the
article on fonts in this issue.
* MANDELBROT SET EXPLORER with original graphics
(& slideshow) such as you can see in the ArtGallery
on MEGADISC2. Mostly unexplored territory, and
beautiful too.
* PAGESETTER demo - see if you want to buy this
excellent program (check article on Desktop Publishing).
* AEGIS DRAW DEMO - only the "SAVE" option is disabled.
* AMIGABASIC programs disc - all kinds of things.
* ABASIC programs disc - this was the Basic originally
packaged with the Amiga, and quite a lot of good
programs have been written for it.
* ANIMATIONS disc - a number of animations made on
Aegis Animator and placed in the Public Domain, with
the PLAYER utility.
* SHOP DEMO ANIMATION - a long animation prepared as a
demo for the capabilities of the Amiga.
* MONOPOLY - a graphics-oriented game in ABASIC.
* ABASIC GAMES DISC - Contains 4 excellent games by David
Addison: Cribbage, Backgammon, Othello, and Solitaire.

and a lot of useful utilities.

of the very highest quality, which are available now. If
you want to order a T-shirt, don't forget to include your
size in your order.
4. BACK ISSUES: if this is your first copy of MEGADISC, take a
look at "MD1.Index" in this drawer, which briefly describes
the contents of that disc, much of which is indispensable to
the Amiga user. Ordering a copy will also qualify you for
the great MEGADISC giveaway, details of which are in
"MDOffer" in this drawer.

5. CONSULTANCY AND TRAINING - It has become increasingly obvious
to us that many Amiga users are first-time computer users or
are coming to the Amiga from a primitive system, and need
further explanations, training, and so forth. Others can see
the possibilities of the machine in various areas, like
Desktop Publishing or Video, but are unsure of how to integrate
and use the system for these purposes. In view of this, we
have decided to offer further services in the form of Training
and Consultancy, if required - in accordance with our policy
of putting people in touch with one another, we will do our
best to organize these services for those requiring them.
Already a good number of people are on our books and available
for these purposes, so if you think you'd benefit from them,
please enquire by letter to our address.
