This mag has lots of unpublished material from DBA and plenty new stuff too. It comes 'dressed up' in a Netscape Navigator interface but uses the old DBA shell so is very easy to get used to. Four excellent modules are supplied for background music as well as four different fonts for the articles and an excellent Help page. Now to the mag which contains no less than 53 articles spread over the two disks. There's roundup of all the demo scene news of the past few months and news of the forthcoming 'Alternative Party'. For the on-line community there's extensive listings of Web pages for everyone involved in Atari computing and lots of useful information on HTML tags and their use to help you design your own pages. Interviews are with Andrew Whittaker (Alien vs Predator, Darkseed, Power Crystal and others) and the author of the Macumba (anti-)virus. Game/Utility reviews are of Alterra, FlaySID, PacifiST, PlaySID, Running, WebSpace and Willie's Adventures. Demo reviews are of Six Sievert, Not So Funny and Lasse Reinbong. Other features include a collection of very extensive Jaguar FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), a piece on the Fenix OS and extensive coverage of the SILIconvention and Symposium demo coding parties. An excellent new mag for Falcon users but language is strong in places so avoid if you are likely to be offended. Needs 4 Mb and a hard drive. לללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל חלללללללל† ´ F.6040 ´ זלללללללל¶ MAGGIE 23 - This ever popular diskzine makes its second appearance this year having missed its proposed Atari Shows release.

Don't be put off, it's not a case of childish "my computer is better than yours" articles (OK there are some which follow this line). There are a few factual pieces about the PC and lots of well written humorous stories (Microsoft buys Christmas and the Microsoft/Vatican merger for starters!). Article titles include Intel Trek, Heavenly Gates, Farm Animals '97, Atari Looputer, Nose Skier and a section called Plug 'N Pay! As you can see, this is primarily a fun magazine for those who enjoy a laugh at the majority's expense! This publication should be categorised under the "fiction" section in your local library, but then again most of Micro$oft's press releases and adverts should share the same shelf! Despite contrary appearances, Eezi-PC only runs on Atari computers (check the readme). THE ATARI ST INTERNALS by Jim Boulton - An HTML document (you'll need CAB on DMG.5556 to read it) which forms the basis of an extensive hardware reference manual for the ST/STE. Includes pinouts to all external ports, specifications of the WD1772, YM2149, MMU, Clock, MC6850, Blitter, STE joystick ports and more. Interrupt priorities, blitter execution times, TOS error numbers, exception vectors and system variables are also included. Everything you'll ever need, barring circuit diagrams for the various motherboard designs. All in all this is an invaluable reference guide for any programmer or software engineer. LZA REPORT by ELF Software - Everything you'll ever need to know about the LZA compression method. It discusses the theory behind LHA, looks at ways to improve its efficiency and comparisons between LHA, LZH and ZIP in various tests. Aimed at programmers, these reports are highly technical but could be of interest if you're thinking of using compression within your own programs. JAGUAR EXPLORER ON-LINE VOL 1, ISSUE 1 - The popular AEO may be gone but many of the old team are back with this Jaguar specific title. It has news on Jag mailing lists, Jag FAQ, JAG Cheats (all Internet based), a list of published and 'in development' titles and hardware add-ons and suppliers of Jaguars and peripherals. Press releases include the JTS/Atari Merger, Telegames releases (incl World Tour Racing), Don Thomas' resignation from Atari, Shareware games on the Jag, Jag-Fest '97 and much more. Jeff Minter's on-line 'diary' lands up 'in print' as does the development schedule for Battlesphere. The recently released Baldies, Breakout 2000 and Towers 2 all get extensively reviewed and Don Thomas' "Did Anyone Say Goodbye" gets a reprint. There's interviews with Martin Brownlow, (a former Shareware programmer who went on to write Missile Command 3D on the Jag and several coin-op games), Vincent Valenti (Towers, Towers II) and Matthew Gosling (Zero 5). There's cheat/level codes for Baldies, Battlemorph, Quake, Blue Lightning, Defender 2000, Flip Out, Highlander, Missile Command 3D, Myst, Pitfall, Primal Rage, Towers II, Vid Grid & VLM. All in all, a great first issue. MC68030 by Jiri Kucik - An extensive ST-Guide document listing every assembler instruction (and its meaning) supported by the 68030 as used in the TT and Falcon. In addition, clicking onto the highlighted instructions brings up information on the function of that instruction and how to use it. ZYXEL by Christoph GÜlicher - An extensive ST-Guide file detailing all commands used by the Zyxel data/fax/voice modem. This includes documentation on the extended S register codes and extended AT commands used by this manufacturer. An essential reference guide if you own a Zyxel modem. MIDIFILE by Doug Wyatt - An ST-Guide file detailing the specifications of the Standard Midi File format, later known as SMF Type 0. Only really of interest to programmers. ST-Guide Lite is supplied so you can read the three STG files on this disk. FALCON DEMO FAQ by GoreMaster - Lists all known Falcon demos up to February 1995 along with all games, both released and in development. Demo information includes name of demo, name of programmer(s), RGB or VGA, release date and other info when available. MODEM by Demon Internet - A text file explaining how to set up a modem for connection to the Internet. It gives general advice along with suggested initialisation strings for most of the common modem types. There's nothing Atari specific but it's all good sound advice. It is also equally applicable to any ISP, not just Demon Internet. PARITY by Jo Even Starstein - Information on how to perform a hardware modification to an ST if your host adaptor does not support drives which use parity (and there's no option to switch it off on the drive). Although this is an ST mod, it could perhaps be adapted for Falcon owners experiencing the same problems. VLM HACKING by Jeff Minter - Explains how to get into edit mode on the Jaguar CD's Virtual Light Machine and create your own banks of VLM effects. Since Jeff created the VLM, this one is a must for all Jaguar CD owners. לללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל חלללללללל† ´ F.6144 ´ זלללללללל¶ MAGGIE 24 - Released at the October 1997 Atari Shows, this issue sports a jazzy new(ish) interface.

It features animated icons, a built-in game, lots of "hidden" features and the usual jazzy graphics and well composed soundtrack. A feature I particularly like is the fact that Maggie remembers the articles you've already read by changing their colour (like html links!). So what about the content? The news section is jam packed with news and rumours about various new releases and projects in development. These include an NES emulator for the Falcon, the latest on the Phenix Falcon clone, almost 20 new games (released or in development), more than a dozen new demos and the Godscape Internet Browser, to mention a few.

It was unforgivable that those of you who are not on-line should miss out on it! The Atari Exhibition is something of a collector's item for Atari enthusiasts everywhere and charts Atari's history from its foundation by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 to the merger with JTS Corporation in 1996. There's background information and photographs of almost every computer manufactured by Atari from Pong the rough the 8-bit machines to the ST, TT, Falcon and eventually the Jaguar. Even the MicroBox, proposed successor to the Falcon, gets a showing. The launch of the ST at CES is covered and there's photographs of the Tramiels, Nolan Bushnell and other "celebrities". Although the site is heavily graphical in its nature, there's masses to read and it really gives an insight into the rise and fall of Atari Corporation. There's also plenty of live links to other Atari related sites on the Net. Please note, same images may require 4Mb and will appear blank if you have insufficient free RAM. In order to use this disk, you will require a hard drive and a Web browser such as CAB (on F.5420). לללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל חלללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל† ´ END OF DISK MAGAZINES SECTION ´ זלללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללללל¶
