STORM v1.02 by Alan Page - A full featured GEM based telecomms program with
its own built-in BASIC language. This allows you to control STORM's actions
from script files. STORM is modular, so upgrading the program to emulate a
different type of terminal or a new transfer protocol is simply a case of
obtaining the appropriate 1module and reconfiguring your system. The current
version can be configured to emulate TTY, VT100/VT102/VT52 and Vidtex
terminals. File transfers in ASCII, CompuServe BPlus, X/Y/Z-Modem (and the
numerous variants of these) are all catered for. This program was originally
marketed commercially by Double Click Software but has since been upgraded
and re-released as Shareware. It will run on any ST/STE, TT, Mega ST or
Falcon030 and is compatible with MultiTOS, large screen monitors and
graphics cards. Extensive docs on disk running to well over 100k. Very
highly recommended, probably the best comms program there is!
INTERNET - Two text files which will prove invaluable to comms users. The
first is entitled 'Zen and the Art of the Internet'. It is a beginners'
guide covering everything you'll ever need to know about Internet and runs
to 102 pages! The second file is titled 'ARCHIE' and is a 16 page reference
guide to using the Internet archive server listing service, also known as
ARCHIE.
EMAILLST - A massive text file list the EMail addresses on all the popular
networks (and the home address in many cases) of the vast majority of
today's Shareware writers and a number of companies too. The emphasis is on
German writers but others are included.
FM TERMINAL V1.0H - A GEM based (or TOS based, you choose) terminal emulator
with a host of features . It emulates ASCII, VT52, ANSI and IGS terminals
and allows transfers at speeds of up to 19,200 (if your modem can cope).
ASCII, X-Modem, Y-Modem, Z-Modem and Y-Modem G are all supported. The
program has an auto dialer which can store up to 16 numbers, allows the
serial buffer to be set as high as 32k and supports keyboard macros. The
documentation is pretty sparse but the program is very easy to use and all
your settings can be saved for use in your next section.
HSMODEM7 - A collection of modular serial port patches for the ST, TT and
Falcon. Allows very high serial port speeds up to 57600 baud, or 115200 baud
with a hardware modification. As well as fixing various hardware bugs on the
serial port, HS Modem also gives a faster throughput even with slower modems
due to the removal of the bottleneck caused by the restricted port speed.
Also increases communication speed via the Midi ports. Now with English docs
and an easy to use setup program.

CONNECT '95 - An impressive terminal emulator which can emulate VT52,
VT100, VT102/ANSI and VT220 terminals. In VT100, VT102 or VT220 mode, you
can even emulate a TEK 4014 graphics terminal. All emulations are
implemented for both serial and MIDI ports. Connect is entirely GEM based
and both English and German versions are supplied, although we've set it up
for English. It has everything you need to log on to your favourite BBS and
more. This program offers more emulation modes than most and it runs on any
Atari, even under Multi-TOS. There's very little by way of documentation but
an extensive on-line Help function is built into the program. Nothing is
disabled in this Shareware version. The only restriction is that Connect
only remains fully usable for 30 hours in total. After that time you will
need to register your copy. UK users can register with System Solutions,
full details on disk.
THE BBS DIRECTORY by Mark Westguard - This helpful utility displays a map of
the British Isles and has a number of options which allow you to locate
bulletin boards which are local to you. This Shareware version merely gives
the name and telephone number of about 100 boards. Register for £5 to get
the full version which features over 400 boards along with info on most
boards.
BAUDRATE V1.1 - Locks your modem to your chosen baud rate. In most cases,
the modem switches down to the baud rate of the incoming signal. However,
you cannot benefit from MNP compression unless your modem is running at a
higher baud rate than the incoming signal. This program allows you to do
this.
GSZRZ V6.6 - An excellent implementation of the SZ and RZ protocols from
Unix. These programs are intended for transferring files using the ZModem
protocol. An ACC version is also supplied for intended use with Rufus, but I
suspect it will work within any GEM based comms program. Programs are in
English but docs in German. Register for v4 and you get English docs too!

ANSI ST V0.40 by Uncensored Software - A Shareware patch which remaps ASCII
character codes to their ANSI equivalents when using TOS based programs.
This program currently makes Vanterm, TeddyTerm (on this disk) and Ratsoft
BBS fully ANSI compatible. Please note that this patch has no effect on GEM
based software.
MSB ANSI by Mark Baines - Three bitmapped fonts which replace the system
font if using NVDI, Warp 9, Fontkit or NeoDesk. They contain the ANSI
characters above ASCII 127 rather than their Atari equivalents, making
terminal emulators ANSI compatible. Also useful for viewing documents which
contain PC graphic characters.
MOUNTAIN QWK v2.8 by Anthony Watson - Full featured QWK off-line mail
reader. QWK is a protocol for bundling all your messages from/to a BBS into
one compressed file. This method saves lots of online time! You will also
need the ARC, LZH or ZIP archivers, depending on your BBS settings.
Functions include offline conference configuration, twit file and many
others. Needs at least 1 Meg, works better with 2 Meg or more.
SHADOWTERM II by Michel Forget - A nice easy to use communications package
which has everything you're ever likely to need to log onto a bulletin board
and up/download files. Everything is handled by either drop down menus or
keyboard shortcuts and the program has been configured to automatically run
the appropriate file transfer program. Up to ten external programs can be
launched with a single keypress and there's an on-line notepad which lets
you compose and send messages while connected. Up to forty keyboard macros
can be set up to send out predefined strings of characters and there's a
pretty comprehensive telephone dialer which holds the number of up to 20
BBSs and their associated logon sequences. An interesting feature is the
ability to monitor up to three numbers and call the first one that becomes
free (avoids having to redial after an engaged tone). This Shareware version
has a 30 minute time limit per session. Register to have this removed and
get a few extras thrown in too!
TEDDY TERM V2.14 by Mark Matts - A complete terminal program which uses
ANSI, VT100, VT52 & ASCII terminal emulations. Can be set for virtually any
imaginable configuration. Many options including modem setup, rough call
costing, X-Modem, Y-Modem and Z-Modem support, RS232 buffer sizes, ST, Mac
or PC font, use of both left and right mouse buttons and auto logon
sequences. If fact Teddy Term can even 'learn' logon sequences and save
these for future use! Up to 45 BBS numbers can be stored in the dial
directory and up to 40 keyboard macros can be used to help cut down on your
on-line typing. Different capture buffers can be set up for different BBS's
and for different days with data being stored for up to 21 days. This latest
version also supports the Jekyll file transfer protocol which lets you send
and receive at the same time. Jekyll and XYZ transfer programs are also
included with the package. Teddy Term is not GEM based but instead employs
the use of pop-up menus to configure everything. Powerful, yet easy to set
up and use. Highly recommended.

MOUNTAIN READER v2.9 by Anthony Watson - Full featured QWK off-line mail
reader. QWK is a protocol for bundling all your messages from/to a BBS into
one compressed file. This method saves lots of online time! You will also
need the ARC, LZH or ZIP archivers, depending on your BBS settings.
Functions include offline conference configuration, twit file and many
others. Needs at least 1 Meg, works better with 2 Meg or more.
HTML DOCS - Extensive documentation on HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and
how to use it to create your own documents for the World Wide Web. There's a
detailed explanation of the HTML v1.0 standard, a quick start guide and some
examples of HTML in operation.
FSERIAL V0.96E by Roman Hodeck - A comprehensive program which attempts to
fix the problem with the RTS/CTS handshaking. The problem Atari computers
have, occurs when a high speed modem is used in conjunction with ZMODEM or
any near continuous flow transfer program is used to send data. The failure
to support the RTS/CTS protocol properly results in the modem buffer
overflowing and this leads to errors in data transmission. Fserial is
supplied as an Auto folder patch and CPX module for use with XControl.
FLASH 2 DEMO V2.2 - A usable demo of a comprehensive communications. Flash 2
supports ASCII, Xmodem, Ymodem, Modem7, WXmodem, Kermit, SEAlink and Zmodem
transfers. Supported terminal emulations include TTY, Prestel, Vidtex, Ansi,
VT52, VT100, VT102, VT200 and VT300. It has a dial directory which holds the
names of your favourite 40 BBSs (limited to 5 in the demo), allowing you to
simply click the appropriate name to dial the board. Each BBS has an
extensive info page into which you can enter your logon id, default
protocols and such like. You can even specify call charges for different
times of the day/week and Flash will log details of how much it has cost you
to be on-line for the current month and how much kilobytes of files you have
uploaded and downloaded. The number of user customisable options is
staggering! This demo has a few functions disabled, regularly reminds you
that it is a demo and limits the size of uploads and downloads to 50K. It
also limits you to 40 minutes per session.
FREEZE DRIED TERMINAL V2.20 - Originally an ST program, this version has
been fixed to run on the Falcon. Despite the fact that it claims to be able
to run from any resolution, it must be run from ST medium! FZT is an easy to
use comms program with 3D push-in buttons and lots of user definable
settings. It emulates VT52, UBBS Term Graphics, IBM Ansi Graphics, Instant
Graphics and ASCII terminals. Up to 45 BBS numbers can be entered into the
auto dial directory and speeds of up to 19,200 bps are supported. Zmodem
batch, Ymodem batch, Ymodem G batch, Xmodem and Ymodem transfer protocols
are supported although you can call external protocols if required. LZH, ARC
and ZIP archivers can all be called up when running FZT in order to create
archives for uploading or extract files from downloaded archives. RGB ONLY.
KIVI QWK READER V2.03 - Almost all BBS messages nowadays are stored in QWK
format. Kivi is an off-line QWK reader. In other words, you download your
mail messages, log off and load up Kivi. It recognises the packing method
used, unpacks your mail, lets you read it, reply to it or compose new mail
messages. These are then packed and saved in the QWK format ready to be
uploaded the next time you log on. Kivi can also unpack your replies just in
case you decide to edit them. It also allows you to extract mail items from
the QWK packet in ASCII format. QWK readers are not uncommon, but what makes
Kivi unique is the fact that it is Multi-TOS and SpeedoGDOS compatible (and
indeed enhanced for these systems). Kivi has lots more options and lets you
customise everything to suit your own preferences and save your settings.
One of the best QWK readers available.

OASIS (One Atari Solution to Internet Software) V1.35E by Phil Yeadon and
Dave Levi - An impressive GEM based front end for accessing the Internet on
your Atari. With the advent of cheap high speed modems and local access
numbers, getting connected to the Internet is seriously worth considering.
Until recently, Demon Internet were the only service provider to supply
Atari software and what was available was command line driven and archaiac
to say the least! Oasis replaces this with a friendly menu based system
which lets you log on and off with the minimum of hassle. Once off-line,
Oasis' offline mailreader and newsreader allow you to browse through your
email and your selected newgroups at your leisure. As for sending out email
or posting messages to the newsgroups, that couldn't be easier. Oasis as
supplied, is ready to run (just alter the setup files to suit) and includes
an Atari specific guide to get you up and running. The only thing you can't
do is browse the World Wide Web, but that's promised for v2.0. Very highly
recommended, needs a hard drive.
SET_DEV7 by Mark Baines - Sets device 7 as the default serial port on the
Falcon. In serial communications the Falcon specifies device 6 (which isn't
connected to any hardware port) as the default serial port. This causes
problems with software which automatically uses the default device without
checking.
XYZ MODEM 2 - A patched version of XYZ Modem v2.02B which uses Modem Port 2,
so as to be compatible with the Falcon.
POINT - A text file describing the mechanisms by which FidoNet mail can be
accessed by pointing. It describes how a point works, how to set one up and
a list of recommended software.
APOINTS.FAQ - A collection of frequently asked questions about an Atari
Point System. It is intended to help answer questions about setting up and
maintaining a point system using an Atari computer. It concentrates on the
Turbonet T_POINTS but should apply equally well to running a point system
for any mail network.
STARCALL v2.0 - A completely integrated communications program. It comes in
three parts, terminal emulator, BBS and fax software. You just install the
parts that you need. You can run your own bulletin board, dial in to on-line
services and send/receive faxes, all from this integrated suite of programs.
The terminal package emulates VT52, VT100, VT200, VT220 & ANSI terminals and
the Xmodem and Ymodem file transfer protocols are built-in. There's a log
book which keeps track of your calls during the month, even costing them for
you! Auto logons to your favourite BBS can be learnt on the fly and a system
password can be used to prevent unauthorised access to your system. What's
more, if you have a ZyXEL modem, you can turn your computer into an
automated voice mail system! The fax module is very powerful, allowing you
to add logos and signatures to 1st Word/Wordplus and ASCII documents. It
even lets you convert IMG files and Calamus documents into faxes. Faxes can
be sent at high resolution, giving even better results than those produced
by a fax machine. You can even set up the software to queue up faxes and
answer incoming calls. Shareware software at its very best. Starcall needs a
hard drive.

WWW ACCESS PACK - A growing suite of Shareware and Freeware programs (most
of which have UK registration) by different authors which allows Atari users
to access the world wide web. It runs in any resolution and is a full
graphic browser, unlike Lynx. The official WWW package consists of STiK,
CAB, CAB.OVL, AntMail, Telnet, IRC, Cache_Ed, Weather Forecast, Finger and a
specially written setup program to install everything in the correct places
on your hard drive and configured correctly for your own ISP. You'll need a
hard drive and at least 1 Mb of memory to run this package. All are multi-
tasking friendly and several of the component parts of this package can be
running simultaneously under such a system. They also run reliably under
single TOS. Here's a description of what's what.
STiK v1.12 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Dan Ackerman) - Consists
of an Auto folder patch and ACC and provides the necessary network layer
through which everything else works. It dials up your ISP, logs you on and
returns control to the system so that you can run the appropriate clients.
Currently STiK (and therefore this entire package) only works if your
Internet Service Provider (ISP) supports the SLIP protocol. PPP is not yet
supported.
COOL ATARI BROWSER v1.5 by Alexander Clauss (a modified version of HTML
Browser on COM.5232) is your Netscape clone which allows you to surf the
Web. It is now fully compliant with all HTML 2 commands and many from the
emerging HTML 3 standard. In its current form it offers most of the
functionality of Netscape but without the memory overhead! You can access,
cache and display the URLs either on-line of off-line and support for JPEG
images (as used by some sites on the Web) is also included. Pages are cached
to your hard drive and accessed from the hard drive the next time you need
them to save on-line time, only downloading un-cached pages. Obviously you
can also read pages off-line. CAB can be configured for English, French,
Spanish, Swedish, Italian or German.
CAB.OVL v1.2904 by Tim Newsome (now maintained by Dan Ackerman) - This
provides the on-line support for CAB. It invisibly links CAB into STiK to
allow URLs to be accessed 'live' rather than merely loaded from disk.
IRC v0.90 by Steve Adam (now being maintained by Lonny Pursell) - Allows you
to participate in Internet Relay Chat (IRC). IRC is essentially a way of
having live 'chats' with lots of other computer users on-line. Everything
happens in real time and you can be 'talking' to several other users from
all over the world simultaneously! This latest version is GEM based and
multi-tasking friendly.
TELNET V1.0 by Jim Baumgardner - A Telnet client for use with STiK. Telnet
allows you to log on to a computer on the Internet in a similar fashion to
using a standard terminal emulator (such as Connect) to connect to a BBS and
lets you wander around the system's directories as if it were directly
connected to your own machine. This lets you effectively cross hardware
platforms, like using a virtual machine!
FINGER V1.30 by Lonny Pursell - A 'finger' client for use with STiK. It
allows you to obtain information about email addresses. Some servers give
little information to the finger client, others give masses! Useful for
finding someone's email address, getting a list of all users who match a
certain specification or even to check if you have mail waiting for you.
STiK WEATHER FORECAST v0.3 by Jim Baumgardner and Dan Ackerman - When used
in conjunction with STiK it gives the temperature, barometer, wind speed and
humidity (displayed both graphically and as text) for any major US city. It
even remembers the city you last requested data for, and uses it as your
default setting. Interestingly, the authors are working on a system which
will extend coverage to the rest of the world.
ANTMAIL V0.79 by Dan Ackerman - A POP3 mail client for use with STiK.
Translated into plain English, it's an easy to use program which manages
your email for you. It supports multiple users, so several people using the
same account. For example, the_dog@abcd.atari.com, the_cat@abcd.atari.com
and the_budgie@abcd.atari.com will all have separate mailboxes when using
Antmail and incoming mail will be directed to the correct mailbox. It uses
SMTP to send mail and POP3 to retreive it. More systems are converting to
POP3, this could be a major feature. The main benefit of POP3 is that you
'ask' for your mail when you want to download it, rather than have it
'thrown' at you as soon as you log on (expensive at peak calling times!).
Antmail allows messages to be written on-line (whiles away the time when
you're in the middle of a big download!) or offline (saves on the 'phone
bill the rest of the time!). Please note that Antmail won't work unless your
ISP supports the POP3 protocol (most do).
WWW INSTALLER V1.00 by Manfred Ssykor - An easy to use program which
installs everything in the right place on your hard drive. An especially
useful feature is its ability to update individual programs in the pack
without having to perform a full reinstallation.

זללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל¶
CHIMERA, TELNET & FTP RUNNING UNDER X-WINDOWS - This set of disks has
everything you need to turn your Falcon or TT into a pseudo UNIX workstation
for accessing the Internet via the World Wide Web. MiNTNet provides the
necessary multi-tasking networking capabilities, the Minix file system gives
you support for Unix commands and long filenames, and X-Windows is a port of
the popular graphic user interface from Unix, adapted to run in conjunction
with MiNTNet and Minix. These three vital elements provide the backbone for
a Unix-like setup on your Falcon or TT. Also included is Chimera, a NetScape
clone which allows graphical browsing of the much hyped World Wide Web.
Hooked into Chimera are separate Telnet and FTP programs which allow you to
log in to remote computers and download archives from the various Internet
ftp sites. Setting up an Atari to run the above system is usually a
nightmare but has been simplified by easy to follow installation
instructions and an automatic installation procedure by the Toronto Atari
Federation (TAF). It's certainly not Linux, but it's the next best thing!
Please note that this package requires at least 4Mb of memory, a 10 Mb
separate hard drive partition set up for Minix and of course an account with
an Internet Service Provider who offers PPP. It should also be noted that it
only runs in ST high resolution.

ATARI ST BBS CALLBACK FACILITY V2.0 by Andy Inman - monitors the RS232 port
for incoming calls. If detected, it drops the DTR, thus preventing the modem
from answering the call. The caller must then re-dial within a pre-
determined time in order to connect to your BBS. The main purpose of this
utility is to allow BBS operators who share a common voice and data line, to
determine which calls are voice and which are data.
CD-ACCESS V0.99B by Rich Tietjens - Allows you to hook in CD-ROM support to
any BBS running on your Atari so that users can download files from a CD-ROM
attached to your system.
LYNX, IRC II & DuFTP FOR MiNTNet - Three applications for use with MiNTNet
which provide WWW browsing, Internet Relay Chat and File Transfer Protocol
clients for Internet use. Lynx is a World Wide Web browser, but in contrast
to Chimera, it is text based. On the downside, you lose out on all those
beautiful graphics, one of the attractions of the Web. In its favour is the
fact that Lynx saves on your telephone bills since each page takes only a
fraction of the time to download. Internet Relay Chat is a system whereby
users from across the globe can join in live on-line sessions with each
other, and all for no more than the cost of a local telephone call. IRC
tends to be addictive, so watch that 'phone bill! DuFTP is a nice friendly
GEM based file protocol manager which lets you log on to those 'anonymous'
ftp sites and download the latest PD & Shareware releases. Please note that
these three applications require 4 Mb and a hard drive and can only be used
if MiNTNet (S-F.5455, S-F.5456 & S-F.5457) is installed on your system.
MiNTNet FAQ v1.0 by Christer Gustavsson - A short text file explaining how
to set up a working MiNTNet system with the minimum of fuss and bother.
NOSFILES - Example STARTUP.NOS, DIAL.TXT and NNTP.DAT files for use with
AtariNOS. Also includes several useful text files relating to the use of
NOS, including the setting up of an ftp users file and the use of the nntp
commands.
SEMPER V0.79B by Jan Kriesten - A utility aimed at BBS sysops. It lets you
poll other machines in the network so that you can transfer mail packets
quickly and efficiently as well as requesting files from (or sending files
to) other machines on the network. Semper can hook into your own BBS
software and can operate via the serial, LAN or MIDI ports at speeds of up
to 230400 bps (hardware support permitting). It also supports direct
transfer over ISDN lines. Request a 'key' from one of the support sites to
give full access to all features (including high speed Hydra transfers) for
a limited period, then register for unlimited access.
FIRESTORM HTML BROWSER V0.049 by Christian Andersson - An early version of
an on-line World Wide Web browser. Unfortunately many functions are either
incomplete or disabled and it is only possible to dial a pre-programmed
Swedish number (from within Sweden). This browser appears to be pre-STiK and
CAB although it looks like it could have potential. For non-Swedish users
its only real use is as an off-line HTML viewer and even then it doesn't
cope with every page thrown at it. GDOS or SpeedoGDOS must be installed in
order to use this software. Now with docs in ST-Guide (not included) and
HTML formats.

OASIS 2.10 by Phil Yeadon and Dave Levi - The ultimate Internet access
package. This is the long awaited followup to Oasis on F.5292 and it now
completely replaces AtariNOS with ICE, its own GEM based on-line software,
making it the complete solution for both on-line and off-line use. Like its
predecessor, Oasis 2 handles mail, newsgroups, ftp and telnet sessions and
comes complete with extensive docs in ST-Guide (not included) format. Both
SLIP and PPP protocols are handled correctly and posting to newsgroups is
now possible with all ISPs. Mail-wise, you have the choice of using either
SMTP or POP 3 standards. Automated logons for both anonymous and password
protected ftp access are supported, binary files can be automatically
uuencoded, yellow pages and outmail have been improved and you can even
perform searches in these databases. Finally, you can download only
newsgroup headers then mark the articles you want to download in full.
Shareware at its best, some functions are not fully operational but there's
more than enough to get started with. Includes simple to understand
instructions on how to get HS Modem (included) set up for your system. The
only thing you can't do is access the WWW (yet!). Includes conversion
utilities for your Oasis 1.35 mail, outmail, yellow pages and newsgroup
files. Needs a 4 Mb and a hard drive.
CAB MINT v1.84 - A modified version of the CAB.OVL file which allows you to
use the WWW Access Pack (F.5420) when running MiNT/Multi-TOS.
STiK TIME by Guy Harrison. Runs as an ACC or PRG (under multi-tasking
systems) and appends details of connections via STiK, to NOS.LOG so that
CoSTa (on F.5569) can include them in your call logging.
SBCABPRG by Guy Harrison - Install it as an external viewer for CAB
(F.5420). It will then let you intercept files and save them to your chosen
destination, rather than have them disappear namelessly into the cache!
MUNPACK V1.3 by Hans Streibel - Allows you to encode/decode MIME encoded
messages as used by many PC/Mac applications. Only runs under MiNT/Multi-
TOS.
COMA.SYS - Installs a SpeedoGDOS fax driver. This allows you to output a
page from any SpeedoGDOS compatible application, as a COMA/QFAX fax which
can then be output via a fax modem using COMA on F.5071.

SHADOWRUN MATRIX CREATOR v1.32 by Brian Duff - A computer controlled
GamesMaster for use with the on-line Shadowrun role-playing game.
MASTIC by Walu Software - The latest generation TIC processor which is fully
compliant with the latest FTSC standard. It is used for automating tasks on
bulletin boards. If you don't know what a TIC processor is, you don't need
one!
COSTA V1.50 by Gary Priest - Reads details of your Internet calls from
NOS.LOG and works out the total length of time spent on-line and the cost of
the calls. You can customise the call charges and charging rates to reflect
those appropriate to where you dial for your Internet access. It knows about
time zones, standard, cheap rate and weekend call tariffs as well as minimum
call charges. It even includes the VAT! What's more, you can clear all data
when you pay the bill so that remaining data is valid for the next bill.
MODEM CONFIG V0.1B by Xavier Lucroze - Gives information on the speed,
serial number and country code of your modem.
AVALON V3.76 by Stephan Slabihoud - An alternative to Tiny-Shell. It is a
GEM based shell for points in a FidoNet or compatible system. It is of use
to individuals who have their own point setup and also to BBS sysops as it
allows them to automate many routine tasks such as generating user lists,
performing unattended polling, file requests, setting up a msgbase, hatching
files, converting pointlists and odelists in uselists etc. Please note that
you will also need a mailer program (Binkley Term or Semper), an importer
(Legada or JetMail) and a message editor (LED).
MG-FTP V1.03 by Michael Guse - An ftp client for use with STiK. It allows
you to log onto an ftp server and up/download files. MG-FTP supports both
anonymous and password protected logons. The directories on the remote
machine are displayed in a window and almost everything is mouse controlled.
In fact you can even save your favourite sites in a hotlist so that a simple
selection from the list logs you straight on to the server. Please note that
Weather Forecast and MG-FTP will not work unless STiK is installed and
enabled. Also, both run under either single TOS or multi-tasking
environments. You will of course need an account with an Internet Service
Provider!
NOS POP3 - A modified version of AtariNOS which supports the POP3 mail
protocol rather than the more common SMTP. Use this as a replacement for
NOS.TTP when using Oasis v1.35 (on F.5292) if your ISP uses POP3. You MUST
use this version of NOS if your ISP is Pavillion as they only support POP3,
most others support both standards.

PPP KIT V1.4 by Philippe Abel - Allows you to use CAB (WWW Browser) with a
service provider who supports the PPP protocol rather than SLIP (as
supported by STiK). It requires CAB (F.5420) and HS Modem (F.4365) in
addition to the files supplied. Unlike other MintNet applications, you do
not need to format a separate Minix partition. The kit includes a cut down
version of MintNet, MintNet compatible CAB.OVL as well as all the MintNet
setup files required and detailed instructions on how to get the system up
and running in both English and French. All you have to do is edit the
configuration files to suit your ISP. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive.

AFTP V1.4B1 by J & T Krivankove - A GEM based ftp client for use with
MintNet (F.5569). Put simply, it lets you connect to ftp sites on the
Internet to up/download files. This version has lots of extras including the
ability to receive commands from a CLI (or CAB), a hotlist of your favourite
sites, drag and drop between local and remote drives and the use of
different fonts. It requires MintNet and an AV aware Desktop (Thing, Gemini,
NeoDesk 4, Ease etc).
ANTGNVAX - Replacement RSCs for AntMail (from the WWW Access Pack on F.5420)
so that the display looks correct under the Geneva multi-tasking OS. Unless
you have Geneva, you'll see no difference by using these!
BACKPLAY by Gary Priest - Allows you to listen to all those sound samples on
the Web. It works in conjunction with NED PLAYER and (unlike similar
programs) plays the sound without opening a windows and therefore avoids
mucking up CAB. It simply works by passing the filename from CAB to NED
PLAYER. BACKPLAY requires a multi-tasking OS such as MagiC or Multi-TOS and
of course you'll need NED PLAYER too.
CACHE ED V0.5 by Manfred Ssykor - A support program for use with the Crystal
Atari Browser. When on-line with CAB, all pages (and associated graphics)
are saved to the cache directory under less than helpful names. This utility
identifies the pages/graphics by name and lets you copy them to another
location of your choice. Invaluable if you use CAB.
FRAC IRC V1.10 by Tim Putnam - A GEM based IRC client for use with STiK. It
lets you connect to the real-time on-line chat service which runs on the
Internet. In fact #atari is a lively place to be! It lets you set up your
entire configuration using a series of menus rather than the ancient script
files. Up to 10 (IRC or DCC) channels can be accessed at any timeJust about
everything can be customised and you can even send files directly from one
user to another via DCC transfers. Needs STiK on F.5420.
XURL V2.40 - Extracts all URL references from the selected text file and
places them into an HTML document. Its main use is to extract URLs from your
mail or news files created by Oasis and place then in an HTML file so that
they can be clicked from within CAB to take you directly to the URL without
the need to retype. Obviously CAB is needed in order to make use of XURL.
QWKBAK V0.1 by Simon Coward - Creates backups of QWK format (as used on most
bulletin boards) incoming and outgoing mail and saves them as dated files.
This prevents the old QWK files being overwritten every time you log on.
Invaluable if you need to backtrack to find out what someone said in their
last message or what you replied! Use in conjunction with Kivi (F.5232) or
similar.
JPEG.OVL by Dieter Fiebelkorn - This module (for use with CAB) allows you to
use Brainstorm's JPEG decoder (included on disk) to decode JPG files
contained within HTML files. A JPG typically loads 10 times faster with this
module installed.
SDUU by Guy Harrison - Simply drop and archive or uuencoded file onto this
program and it will automatically work out whether or not it is already
uuencoded and uu(de/en)code it as required.
WENSUITE V2.40b by OXO Concept - At last, an alternative to the CAB browser
(not that there's anything wrong with CAB!). This version looks very similar
to CAB is fully HTML compliant and directly compatible with NetScape 2. This
demo version is a complete implementation of the package with the only
restriction being that it is restricted to viewing pages off-line. The full
version is available direct from 16/32 Systems.
HELL'S BBS V0.84 - A Falcon specific BBS. It is fully ANSI/VT102 compliant
and supports the English, French and German languages. Everything you need
to run your own BBS except for a text editor (almost any can be used) and an
external file transfer protocol (GSZZRZ on F.4454 recommended). Almost
everything can be customised to suit via the configuration files. Docs are
almost non-existent but program looks very capable.

WEBSPINNER V1.10 by Simon Coward - The first Web authoring tool for Atari
computers. It lets you compose HTML pages, set the background colour (or
import a background image), create tables and lists (numbered or bulleted)
easily, position images and imported text in your document, apply text
attributes to individual words or entire paragraphs and much more. Cutting
and pasting is supported via the GEM Clipboard. Other features include
support for headings, page titles, line breaks, anchors and links (both
internal and external. This Shareware release lets you generate the bare
HTML code from simple mouse clicks but does not let you save your work.
Registered users can view the end results in CAB for a WYSIWYG display. Best
used on a display with at least 16 colours at 640x400 or better (TT or
Falcon) but ST low res is also supported. Webspinner can also be used as an
HTML viewer from within CAB. Separate versions for the ST and TT (or Falcon
with FPU).
HTML HELP v1.1 by Matthias Japp - A useful utility to aid those developing
Web pages. It lets you view the HTML source and change filenames and paths.
You can also convert HTML into ASCII (removing tags automatically) and vice
versa or convert control codes to/from Atari/Mac/PC standards. Page title,
background colour, background image, text colour and colour for links can
also be altered to suit. The Info option lists all links from the page and
images attached to it. HTML HELP can also specify your desired Web browser
and text editor allowing WYSIWYG display and full editing if required. This
is not a Web page authoring tool like WebSpinner, it's more of a helping
hand for those wishing to tinker with existing pages. Program in both
English and German.
HOMEPAGE PENGUIN V1.7 by Matthias Japp - An excellent program which
generates a basic HTML homepage. Give it a title, select a background
colour/image, import some text, fill in a few details and save the results.
It's as simple as that, follow the prompts without any knowledge of HTML and
you've got a nicely presented page. It is then possible to spruce it up
manually. Program in both English and German. Needs to be run in 640x400 or
better so ST high res only (although the page itself can be in colour).
EXPIRE - Useful program which lets you expire all emails in your Oasis
OUTMAIL.TXT except for the number specify that you wish to retain eg; expire
all except the 100 most recent entries.
MR POINTY V1.26 by Rob Cooper & Darren Hook - A nice easy to use program
ideally suited to BBS sysops but equally useful for those individuals set up
as a point (or node) on a BBS network such as NeST, FidoNet or TurboNet. It
handles file echoes and mail echoes as well as managing nodelists. Mr Pointy
brings simplicity to an area of comms normally avoided by all but the
hardened enthusiast.
CAB 030 - A version of CAB specially optimised for the TT and Falcon. This
is a replacement PRG for the 68000 based one on F.5420, NOT a standalone
program. It does not include the RSCs, docs, HTMLS and other necessary
files.
ANSI EDIT by Teddy - ANSI driver and editor. Useful for making up BBS
screens. Programs and docs in German but we've done a RUF translation. VGA
ONLY.

ALTA LISTA V1.5 by Mathias Jaap - An excellent multi-purpose tool designed
for use with the CAB (F.5420) or Webspace (F.5886) WWW browsers. It lets you
create html files which list all html files in a specified directory.
Clicking onto the entry in the list loads up the appropriate html,
regardless of its location on your drive. Alta Lista can also produce
thumbnail catalogues of all IMG, PNG, GIF or JPG images from a specified
directory. In such cases, the image name and size is displayed beneath the
thumbnail. With image catalogues you also have a link to a list of image
names and clicking onto these loads the image at full size. An invaluable
aid for keeping track of your downloaded html files or even just for
cataloguing the images on your hard drive.
STUFIT V16/3/94 by Steve Caple - A Usenet to Fidonet interface. It allows
emails from Fidonet BBSs to be sent to the Internet (via a UUCP account) and
vice versa. It works for both personal emails and newgroup postings. You
need to have a UUCP account and a Fidonet address so its not offering free
Net access. What it does offer is the ability to access your Internet
messages from your local BBS or BBS messages from your Internet account and
reply from either account for convenience. You will also require COMPRESS,
JETMAIL, LED and of course UUCP software in order to use Stufit.
JOE V1.35 by Rajah Lone - A Web page design package similar to WebSpinner.
It lets you type text directly onto a blank page or click onto the required
tags from drop down menus. An existing html file can be imported or you can
start from scratch. The various tags are all grouped under logical headings
so it's just a case of selecting the appropriate tag, then entering the
required text between the start and end tag. OK, so you need to know which
tags to use but Joe eliminates those all too often syntax errors encountered
by those new to html. Finally, Joe links into CAB (or WebSpace) to provide a
WYSIWYG environment if running on a multi-tasking OS. Unfortunately both
program and docs are in French but the fact that html tags are the same in
any language still makes this an invaluable tool. Would anyone like to
translate?
VT102 TELNET V2.00 by Prof Boris Cahan - A VT102 compliant Telnet client for
use with STiK and GlueSTiK. Telnet is a method by which you can log in to
and communicate with remote computers on the Internet. This program's main
claim to fame is in offering VT102 emulation rather than the more usual VT52
as included in Jim Baumgardner's Telnet program. You have an almost complete
VT102 emulation with the exception of blinking characters and Tek 404
emulation (which are not supported). This is a multi-tasking friendly GEM
program, making it very easy to get to grips with. It can also be used as
the default Telnet program within CAB. Terminal size and point size can be
configured to suit. The program uses its own fonts in order to create the
necessary VT102 characters. The only restriction this places on you is that
you must have (Speedo)GDOS or NVDI loaded, otherwise the program will not
run.

CAB 2 DEMO by Application Systems Heidelberg - The standard Atari WWW
browser just got better. Version 2 and above are no longer Freeware but
available at low cost from System Solutions. This latest version supports
the use of frames and forms, has a revamped interface and is near enough
completely HTML 3 compliant. Supplied with English, German, French, Italian
and Swedish RSCs and docs in German, Italian, Spanish, Swedish and Croatian.
Operates identically to v1.5 (F.5420) so the English docs from that version
can be used. This version is fully functional except that BubbleGEM help is
disabled as is the Hotlist and there's a 30 second delay when starting (and
quitting) the program). If you want to use it on-line you'll need to install
CAB.OVL on F.5420 and either STiK (on F.5420) or STiNG (on this disk).
KA9Q HELP - A collection of Help files explaining every command supported by
KA9Q as used in AtariNOS and Oasis 1.35. I'm sure they can be configured to
be called up from within NOS but can't quite work out how! An invaluable
source of documentation on NOS commands, regardless.
STING V1.15 by Peter Rottengatter - A major new package which completely
replaces the STiK component of the WWW Access Pack. It features an improved
(completely) rewritten version of STiK incorporating new features developed
by many different authors over the past couple of years. In addition to
linking CAB, Antmail, MGFTP, FracIRC, Newsie and the likes to the Internet,
STiNG (ST Internet Next Generation) offers more. It supports SLIP and CSLIP
connection to the Net with PPP under development. Standard serial
communication is handled as is communication over the Midi and Parallel
(currently in development) ports. Ethernet (several commercial and DIY
Ethernet cards are available in Germany) and LAN are also under development.
Once in place, these features will allow STiNG to work as a simple to use
system for networking between Atari computers as well as connecting your
machine to the Internet. The package includes several CPX modules allowing
for easy configuration 'on the fly' as well as a programmers' development
kit and a fair amount of well written docs. STiNG is modular and expected to
evolve into a major package in its own right. Although it is not 'finished',
the Internet connectivity is. Highly recommended.

CHECK_M v1.0 by Kellis - Checks to see if you have mail at selected
intervals (from 2 to 120 minutes) when you are on-line. You can then check
the first 10 lines of any selected message and decide whether or not to
download that message. Check_M is for Internet use (alongside STiK) and only
works if you have a POP3 account. You must have the STENO text editor
installed if running under TOS, any text editor can be used if multi-
tasking. Needs at least 1 Mb.
COMPOTEL V1.E by Francis Pierson - A handy PRG or ACC for maintaining lists
of telephone numbers. Any number of telephone numbers may be stored and
dialed directly by selecting them from the list. There is also a dialpad
which can be used manually to initiate voice or data calls via your modem.
When running on a Falcon, the dialing tones can be heard via the speaker, on
an ST they are just output directly to the modem. Unfortunately program and
docs are in French, but the program is easily understood.
POPWATCH V2.42 by Gary Priest - Very similar to CHECK_M (above). It is also
for Internet use and requires that you have POP3 mail. It lets you check
your mail without actually running your mailer software (eg; you could be
browsing the Web with CAB). You can download selected items or even read
portions of a message then decide whether or not to download it. Messages
may be removed or left on the server. Downloaded messages are converted into
the correct format for Oasis 1.xx, Oasis 2 or Newsie as appropriate. You can
even set up a KILL file to automatically delete junk mail from specified
addresses.
PURGE V1.2 by Phil Hough - For use with Oasis 1.35 and NOS, it lets you
automatically remove specified newsgroup articles. You can filter out
articles whose subject line matches your config settings (eg: FS to
eliminate for sale adverts) or articles by individuals whose email address
matches your specifications. An ideal way to weed out junk.
AUTO DIALER V2 by JFA Software - Place it in your Auto folder and it will
give you the option of logging onto the Net using STiK as soon as you boot
up. Otherwise you can run it from the Desktop to dial your ISP without
having to select the STiK ACC from the Desk menu.
GIFMERGE V1.34 by Guido Flohr - Lets you create GIF animations as used on
the Web. Specify the directory containing the images and set the appropriate
parameters. You can set transparency, animation speed, offset and whether or
not the animation should loop.
HTML TEXT CONVERTER V1.5 by Stephane Perez - Converts an ordinary ASCII file
into HTML format by adding the appropriate headers and line/paragraph
breaks. Obviously you'll still want to jazz it up but this program handles
the more mundane tasks. In addition, it translates ASCII characters above
128 into their html equivalents, essential for our European friends. Program
and docs in English and French.
MURKS V1.05 by Christian Lehmann - Removes all unnecessary text from
uuencoded files, leaving only the coded part. Extra text (eg; messages)
attached to the uuencoded files often confuses uudecode programs. This
program eliminates the problem.
NET2CAB V1.02 by Mark Hammond - Converts bookmarks created by Netscape
Navigator (on PC or Mac) into the correct format for use in CAB v1.5's (or
above) hotlist.
PROBE HOUSE DIALER V1.4 by William Wong - An ACC based modem dialer. It lets
you store up to 500 telephone numbers which can be easily accessed from
within any GEM based program. You can use it to make telephone calls (using
the modem to do the dialing) or to maintain a list of your favourite BBS
numbers. Up to 25 characters can be used as a description for the number and
the program works with all Hayes compatible modems. A search function is
included, you can set the baud rate for each entry and any dialing errors
are reported.
TABI v1.5 by Matthias Jaap - Lets you create tables for use in html files
from ASCII tables which use commas, semi-colons or tabulators as separators.
The easiest way is to create your table in a spreadsheet. You can of course
change the text colour, background colour, font size and cell alignment
within the table. All this is done without requiring a knowledge of html!
Program and docs in English and German.
DNSCACHE V1.0 by Gen & Wax - Eliminates the dreaded "resolving hosts"
message from CAB. If a host's address has already been resolved in the cache
database, this need not be done again and this step is bypassed, thus saving
time and money. Works with CAB, Newsie and any other program which makes its
connection to the Internet via STiK.
T-MAIL SERIES 3 by Ben van Bokkem - A complete E-Mail/F-Mail/EchoMail/QMail
replacement system for use with Turbo Board and QBBS systems, although most
functions also operate on other systems. It checks the user's data files for
handles and priviledge flags and handles automatic deletion of messages and
files at logoff, gating to other networks and so forth. There is support for
up to 10 sigs, each of which can have from 20 to 80 echo bases. Lots more
features (too many to describe here). Extensively documented.
STANFORD GRAPHICS - A collection of over 350 GIF images which have been
designed specifically for use on Web pages. Quality varies but the best of
these are of a very high standard and will add a bit of sparkle to an
otherwise dull Web page.

CAB-FTP V0.3 by Manfred Ssykor - An FTP client (allows you to download
programs and files from Internet sites) for use within CAB. Install it as
the default application for ftp and CAB-FTP will be called in every time you
try to access a URL beginning ftp:// rather than http://. This makes it much
simpler than having to use a separate ftp program. CAB-FTP can of course be
run as a separate application alongside STiK, independently of CAB if
required.
DIALER V0.85 by Peter Rottengatter - A replacement dialer (the ACC part) for
STiK v1.11 or later. The advantages over STiK's dialer include support for
up to 8 phone numbers and up to 5 file servers, an abort option, the
amalgamation of the two config files, better multi-tasking compatibility and
a flashier interface. This was the forerunner to STiNG and it ideally suited
to those wanting an improved version of STiK without the "trauma" of
upgrading to STiNG.
NEWSWATCH V2.00 by Gary Priest - Lets assume you use Oasis for newsgroup
access and CAB for WWW browsing. They use different methods of connecting to
your ISP and therefore necessitate two calls. This program allows you to
send and receive Usenet news articles via Oasis 1.3x, Snews or Oasis 2 using
STiK rather than NOS or ICE. In effect it means that you can send and
receive news articles during a session with STiK without having to log on
again with Oasis. You still create the messages in Oasis and read downloaded
messages in Oasis, it's just that you don't need to make a second call in
order to your ISP in order to send/receive the news articles.
NEWSIE V0.88 by John Rojewski - Primarily a Usenet News client for use with
STiK, although it can also handle the sending (by SMTP) and receiving (by
POP3) of email. It lets you select your favourite newsgroups and read new
articles on or off-line. You can also post new articles to newsgroups or
followups to existing articles. This latest version extends its email
capabilities with support for binary attachments in uuencoded or MIME
encoded formats. Multiple mail boxes are supported as is the ability to
transfer messages between mailboxes. Newsie also handles FTP, allowing you
to download software directly from the 'Net. Newsie only works if STiK is
installed.

GLUESTIK V0.03B2 by Scott Bingham - A modified version of STiK (F.5420)
which is designed for use with MiNTNet (F.5828). It consists of a device
driver and a number of support utilities. Docs are sparse and you are
expected to have a working knowledge of both MiNTNet and the conventional
STiK package. Might also work with MiNT but I'm not sure. Includes full C
sources.
FIRST HTML V1.00 by Yannick Lecaillez -Converts ASCII text to HTML and HTML
to ASCII. Nicely presented using Christophe Boyanique's Easy GEM interface.
It can handle batch conversions using the * and ? wildcards as well as
converting single files. Docs are in French but this is no problem as the
program is obvious in use. Just remember to specify the extension as well as
the pathname for converted files, otherwise the program exits!
DRACONIS INTERNET CONNECTION PACKAGE V04/98 by J Heitmann - A complete
connectivity suite, offering a real challenge to the sacred land ruled by
CAB and WenSuite. It consists of the The Light of ADAMAS Web Browser,
Marathon Mail and the basic configuration, connection and dialer utilities.
It does not currently include a news reader. DICP does not require StiK or
STiNG, it uses its own PPP networking layer. At a glance, the mail client
supports multiple mailboxes, accounts with multiple ISPs, multiple mail
folders (useful for filing messages you wish to retain, the sending and
receiving of binary attachments and a few other extras. The browser supports
extensive cache management, security features, off-line and on-line browsing
and a hotlist for keeping track of your favourite URLs. There's even a hint
of Java support in a future version. Both the mailer and the browser draw
heavily from ideas seen on older versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer
and Internet Mail & News packages on other platforms. DICP is Freeware in
its current state (this is a beta release) but the final version could well
go commercial if proposed features live up to their promise. The package is
supplied with English and German RSC files but comes with no documentation.
Theoretically you just need to install it and input your personal details to
get up and running. Hard drive recommended but not essential.

APACHE V1.2.5 by Jan P Schmidt - Have you ever wanted to use your Atari as a
server on the WWW or as an Intranet server for your company? Look no
further, Apache is all you will ever need in order to achieve this (as well
as a high speed modem and an account with an ISP of course!). It is based on
NCSA's HTTPD Web server software which was the most commonly used server
software prior to Apache's release. Apache now leads the pack. It is
distributed as Freeware and this is the Atari version. Apache comes with an
extensive user manual (in HTML format of course) but is not recommended for
beginners. Now for the catches.... You will need at least 4Mb of memory, a
minimum screen resolution of 640x400 (ST high unless you have a graphics
card) and masses of hard drive space to use as server space. It is also
desirable to have a permanent connection to the Net, otherwise your server
will be inaccessible to other users except when you are on-line. The way to
get round this is of course to have your main Web page on a permanent site
with a link to your home/work machine and state it will only function at
certain times. Some users are already employing this method. One last snag,
you must be running MiNT or MiNTNet as Apache does not run under TOS or
MagiC.
MYMAIL v0.61b by Erik Hall - One of the most highly polished mailer programs
ever written on an Atari. It is very graphically oriented with animated
colour icons, but it's not all gloss, it's a highly capable program. Mymail
uses either STiK (F.5420) or STiNG (F.6038) to connect to the outside world,
so it is essential to have one or other installed before running the
program. Features include the ability to check the subject line and sender's
name before downloading mail (also lets you delete unwanted mail without
downloading it), send and receive uuencoded and Base64 encoded attachments
without the use of external programs, check the server for new messages at
preset intervals when on-line, maintain mailing lists allowing you to send a
single message to multiple recipients, option to automatically add signature
file to all messages, and a whole lot more. Mymail includes all the features
of Oasis, Newsie, Antmail and the likes along with a handful of invaluable
extras, all dressed up in the most eye-grabbing interface you're ever likely
to see. It supports OLGA and BubbleGEM (both on UTL.6070), AV server
messages and Multi-TOS's drag and drop protocol. All docs in HTML format so
you'll need a copy of CAB (F.5420) in order to read them. Here's the down
side, Mymail needs to run on an AES supporting animated colour icons (N.AES,
MagiC, Multi-TOS or TOS 4.xx) and realistically needs a hard drive.

SDURL by Swampdog - Extracts all URL and other user-definable links from a
text file or html and outputs them to an html ready for use in CAB. More
links can be added to the html file at any time as your original file will
not be over-written, merely merged with the new data and re-sorted
alphabetically.
CORETOOLS by Peter Rottengatter - A collection of five small programs for
use with Peter's STiNG Internet connection package. PING - Lets you bounce a
signal to any IP address and wait for it to come back. Its main use is to
check connectivity. It lets you confirm if the selected host machine is
connected and running, if so it reports how long a message takes to reach it
and return to your machine. SAVE_IP - Nowadays most ISPs assign your IP
address dynamically (i.e. you get a different address randomly allocated
each time you log on. This program saves that address in a log file. If
running a SLIP connection and your computer crashes, reset the computer
(without switching off the modem) then use the saved IP address to resume
your on-line session without having to redial. Invaluable if your ISPs lines
are busy and difficult to connect to. TRACEROUTE - When messages are sent
over the Net, they hop from one machine to the next until the destination
machine is reached. This program reports back the IP numbers of all machines
you message has passed through on route to its destination. SYSINFO - Gives
detailed information such as version number, error stats, compile date and
much more, for STiNG and all currently loaded modules. Invaluable when
trying to debug crashes and such like. SHUTDOWN - In some cases, especially
when using older comms software, STiNG causes the system to crash when you
reset the computer. This program removes STiNG from all system vectors and
the Cookie Jar so as to fix the problem. Can be run from the Desktop. If
running MagiC, simply put it into the STOP directory to have it run each
time you shut down Magic.
DIP EDIT V0.6 by Dan Ackerman - Lets you create dial up scripts for your
ISP. Essentially what it does is take you through a nice friendly question
and answer session dressed up in a GEM interface, where it ensures you enter
the data given to you by your ISP into the correct places in your dial up
script. DIP EDIT is intended for use setting up MiNTNet (S-COM.5829 & S-
COM.5830) though the scripts it creates could easily be adapted for use with
STiK and other packages. A useful tool for beginners struggling to get onto
the Net.
HOMEPAGE PENGUIN PRO V2.08 by Matthias Jaap - This program is one of the
most well designed (and useful!) I've seen in a long time. It's a followup
to Homepage Penguin on COM.5899. No longer Shareware, this is a demo version
of a commercial release. HPP Pro lets you create rather astounding Web pages
without the need to see a single HTML command. It sounds rather far fetched,
but it's true. Like its predecessor, it lets you turn ASCII text and an
image of your choice into a nicely presented page, but that's where the
similarity ends. This version can be run in colour as well as mono, supports
background images, multiple frames, sound, different fonts, text alignment,
two column text, simple selection of text/background colours, re-sizing of
images and lots more. It even supports a number of features not currently
handled by today's Atari Web browsers! Other features include real-time
previews within CAB and support for plug-ins. If you want to learn HTML, you
can optionally have HPP Pro insert comments into your file explaining the
use of the commands! Docs in ST-Guide (UTL.5557) format. This demo version
has the Navigator (gives you almost complete freedom in the design of your
page), OLGA support, BubbleGEM support and lots of other advanced features
disabled. This version does let you save your pages and is therefore a great
tool for experimentation. When you get the urge to "do more", the full
version can be purchased from FaST Club in the UK.
FIRENEWS V0.76 by Christian Andersson - Another news reader program designed
to take the pain out of ploughing through all those Usenet newsgroups. It
works with STiK or STiNG and provides a slick modern GEM interface. Firenews
is under constant development (not all functions are completed in this
version) along with its companion program, Babel. Almost everything in
Firenews is user configurable, making it one of the best news readers
around. Several features (which are already completed) are disabled in this
version. These will be enabled when you register and registration is free!
Firenews also interfaces with AntMail or Newsie to handle your email,
providing a total solution for email and newsgroup access.
