  PRODUCT INFORMATION
  ללללללללללללללללללל
  Floppyshop are pleased to announce the release of DTP+, the first of our new
  range  of  CD-ROM products for the Atari range of  computers.  This  quality
  product is the culmination of several months' work and has come about as the
  result of a massive collaborative effort between Floppyshop, John Weller (Mr
  DTP  himself!),  countless  Shareware  authors and several  of  the  leading
  companies and individuals operating in the Atari market. It is this combined
  effort  which has resulted in a single CD-ROM which is undoubtedly  the  DTP
  and Graphics enthusiast's dream. Lets look at what's on offer.

  SO WHAT IS IT?
  לללללללללללללל
  DTP+Graphics  is  a collection of fonts,  clip art,  DTP  support  programs,
  printer  drivers,  printer  utilities,  word  processors,  image  processing
  packages,  vector  graphics packages,  all popular  non-commercial  graphics
  packages,  demos  of DTP related commercial programs and  more  besides.  It
  includes everything you need to enhance you existing Desktop Publishing  and
  Computer Graphics setup,  regardless of which package you use. In fact, much
  of the contents are generic and can be used with more than one  application.
  In addition, there's a small section with a number of useful bits and pieces
  designed  to enhance the use of your computer in general.  Over 90%  of  the
  contents are in English and there's an easy to use catalogue which gives  an
  overview  of each and every program on the CD along with the full  directory
  path  to the relevant program/file.  Finding things just couldn't be  easier
  and  everything is uncompressed and ready to run so there's no  time  wasted
  dearchiving  or space occupied on your hard drive,  almost  everything  runs
  direct from the CD.

  FONTS
  ללללל
  Wasn't it all the rage when Compo brought out their 500 Fonts CD-ROM? So you
  thought that 500 fonts for £50 was a bargain?  Well here's news for you, the
  fonts  section  (and  it's ONLY one section)  of  Floppyshop's  DTP+Graphics
  contains over 3,600 fonts for all popular Atari packages. There are 14 types
  of fonts with the largest collections being Calamus (almost 1200), True Type
  (almost 500), PostScript (over 400), GDOS (about 450), Signum (over 200) and
  Fontkit (over 150). Of course there's PageStream, Publishing Partner, That's
  Write and Degas fonts too.  Yes,  EVERY font in our collection to date! This
  includes  the  prestigious Oxieware and Bournemouth CFN  collections  (semi-
  professional  fonts  released  as  PD)  and  a  PostScript  version  of  the
  Bournemouth collection.  These high quality fonts make up around 50% of  the
  Calamus  and PostScript collections and would cost around £80 alone even  at
  PD prices!

  CLIP ART
  לללללללל
  It is said that picture paints a thousand words and there's nothing to  beat
  a  pertinent  graphic  to add a bit of class to  an  otherwise  dull  flyer,
  poster, newsletter or magazine. Well we've done it again. There's over 8,000
  clips included in our Clip Art section on DTP+Graphics! We've weeded out the
  duplicates and categorised everything into logical sections for ease of use.
  As  you would expect,  IMG accounts for the lion's share (over 5400  items!)
  and  has been split into 84 main subject headings and  several  sub-headings
  besides.  Included here are complete collections by Stan Otterburn and  John
  Weller (these are astounding) and others.  Other bitmapped graphics  include
  over  160  GIF  images  (256 colour),  over 1000 PCX  clips  split  into  24
  categories and a few hundred Degas and Tiny clips.  As for vector clip  art,
  DTP+Graphics  contains almost 800 clips in GEM Metafile format and over  200
  Calamus CVGs.

  DTP SUPPORT UTILITIES
  ללללללללללללללללללללל
  These  have mostly originated from our various DTP  support  disks.  There's
  everything imaginable to enhance the use of Calamus,  PageStream, Publishing
  Partner  and  Timeworks.  There's also several utilities aimed at  GDOS  and
  SpeedoGDOS users as well as useful file templates for  Calamus,  PageStream,
  Publishing Partner and Atari Works.  Also in this section are demo  versions
  of the top DTP sections,  including DA's Layout TC v6.1 and Calamus 96, both
  'hot off the presses'.

  FONT EDITORS
  לללללללללללל
  Includes  GEMFED  for  designing GDOS and  Degas  fonts,  font  editors  for
  Publishing Partner and PageStream,  Fontedit - the forerunner to FaST Club's
  Fontkit/Fontkit Plus,  specialised font designers for creating  downloadable
  fonts for Star and HP printers, and more...

  PRINTER DRIVERS
  ללללללללללללללל
  Almost  300  printer drivers for just about every  imaginable  printer  type
  (including  the  SLM804!)  and  application.  The  majority  are  for  First
  Word/Wordplus  (some  other  applications can also use  these  drivers)  but
  there's  also a good selection of SpeedoGDOS drivers,  most notable  amongst
  these are 600/720 dpi drivers for the newer Epson, Hewlett Packard and Canon
  models. There are HP drivers for near enough every application ever written!

  PRINTER UTILITIES
  ללללללללללללללללל
  Printer controllers/command senders,  screen dump utilities and other useful
  utilities  for  use with the Canon BJ300,  NEC  Pinwriters,  Panasonic  KX-P
  series, Epson LQs, Star NL series and others.

  WORD PROCESSORS
  ללללללללללללללל
  Word processors,  text editors,  spell checkers and dictionary listings. All
  the popular packages are here along with demo versions of commercial ones.

  GRAPHIC PROGRAMS
  לללללללללללללללל
  This  section  comprises  of over 120 Mb of graphics  related  programs  and
  associated data files.  There's traditional art packages,  image processors,
  graphic  conversion utilities,  image  viewers,  animation  packages,  image
  printing  utilities,   vector  graphics  editors,  3D  packages,  a  massive
  raytracing sub-section,  graphics tutorials,  fractal generators  (including
  landscape generators),  stereogram creators and much more.  Just about every
  non-commercial package worth talking about is included here.  There's even a
  Falcon  specific sub-section with around 20Mb of graphics  related  material
  for use exclusively on that machine (a sizable proportion of the software in
  the general graphics section is also Falcon compatible).

  COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
  ללללללללללללללללללללל
  All  the popular non-commercial CAD packages are on the CD along  with  demo
  versions of the commercial ones.

  PICTURES
  לללללללל
  OK,  so nobody buys a CD specifically for images but there was enough  space
  left to include around 2,500 images in Degas,  NEO, Tiny, Spectrum 512, IFF,
  EZA,  GIF,  PCS and JPEG formats. This includes a special collection of over
  500 astounding JPEGs of photographs taken by professional photographer Nigel
  Scott.

  ANIMATIONS
  לללללללללל
  As  with pictures you would not buy a CD specifically  for  animations.  The
  space was available so why not fill it with quality! There are ninety of the
  best  FLI  animations included on DTP+Graphics.  These are  all  256  colour
  animations but can be easily viewed in any almost any resolution  (including
  monochrome) using Brainstorm's Movie100 animation player which is of  course
  included.

  OTHER SOFTWARE
  לללללללללללללל
  This includes useful software for any Atari.  These programs are not DTP  or
  Graphics related but are virtually indispensable once you've tried them out.
  There's  also  a small Floppyshop section with full versions of the DegasArt
  tutorial  (parts  1,  2,  &  3),  Family  Roots   v1 (the forerunner to  our
  popular  genealogy program)  and  the registered version of Xlator,  a  very
  capable  German  to English translation program.  Last but  not least  is an
  exclusive release  of the full version of the Edith Professional text editor
  on  DTP+Graphics.  This  quality  product  is almost impossible  to   obtain
  nowadays but  it's  included free with DTP+Graphics.

  PRODUCT INFORMATION
  ללללללללללללללללללל
  Floppyshop are pleased to announce the release of their fourth CD-ROM  title
  for  Atari computers.  It is an anglicised version of an  excellent  release
  entitled  Falcon  030 Version 1.00,  which was compiled by Michel  Goux  and
  Thierry Benet who run the popular Azimut RTC bulletin board in  France.  The
  CD-ROM  remains essentially their compilation,  but we have modified  it  by
  altering  the  folder structure to English names and replacing some  of  the
  included software packages with newer updated versions. In addition, we have
  squeezed  quite  a  lot of interesting extras onto the  CD  which  were  not
  present on the original release. The Floppyshop variant is called SELECT CD,
  so as to avoid confusion with the French version.

  As the name suggests,  this collection is exclusively dedicated to the Atari
  (or  CLAB) Falcon 030.  There's no antiquated ST software padding  out  this
  collection,  it's  all  top quality PD,  Shareware and Freeware  for  Falcon
  computers.  Many  of the titles coincidentally happen to  run  exceptionally
  well on the Hades,  Medusa and other high end clones, but others use the DSP
  and are therefore only comfortable with the real McCoy.

  SELECT  CD  includes all the top demos from Europe's favourite  demo  crews,
  lots of audio programs,  masses of games,  graphic programs,  file  viewers,
  lots of source code (in Assembler, C, DSP, GFA and other languages), several
  multimedia  packages,  a  number  of STe  emulators,  some  direct  to  disk
  recording  software,  lots  of disk magazines,  masses of  small  utilities,
  technical  info,  DIY  electronics  projects and an  easy  to  install  Unix
  environment for your Falcon.

  With  very few exceptions,  almost everything on the CD-ROM is  uncompressed
  and ready to run.  In fact most software will run directly from the CD, thus
  avoiding  the necessity to purchase a larger hard  drive.  Falcon  exclusive
  collections are very few and far between,  with most Falcon owners having to
  be  content with a token "corner" on an ST based title.  SELECT CD offers  a
  unique  opportunity to own all those classic Falcon demos together with  the
  very  latest  versions of all today's popular  PD,  Shareware  and  Freeware
  titles from the world's top Falcon programmers. What more could you possibly
  want, apart from a Phenix or a Milan?

  PRODUCT INFORMATION
  ללללללללללללללללללל
  Sounds  and Stuff is a CD-ROM specifically compiled for the Atari  musician,
  with literally hundreds of odd,  exciting, useful, and fun Public Domain and
  Shareware music programs. These include sample convertors, players, editors,
  trackers,  utilities,  MOD  players,  MIDI tools,  sequencers,  generic  and
  synthesizer-specific librarian editors,  and MID file players.  Some  useful
  non-musical utilities are also featured (including mono  emulators,  virtual
  screen  drivers  and other weird configuration tools),  as is over  20Mb  of
  Falcon-specific  stuff (direct-to-disk recorders,  and other audio bits  and
  bobs),  a small selection of games that run on mono monitors,  a helping  of
  interesting  text files on audio and MIDI programming matters (with lots  of
  source code to try out) and even a fully working version of Sound Chip Synth
  v2.32.

  From  the  outset  we  decided that a high standard  had  to  be  maintained
  throughout  this compilation.  With this in mind,  we enlisted the  help  of
  Electronic Cow's Danny McAleer to take charge of the project.  Now Danny's a
  bit  of  a  perfectionist and wasn't content with  just  putting  the  music
  content  of our PDL onto the CD.  He started off by wading through  all  our
  stuff  and ended up discarding at least 40% of it!  He then checked out  the
  best  music  sites on the Net and added software  from  there.  Finally,  he
  included  Electronic  Cow's  entire sample library as well as  a  number  of
  Electronic Cow releases.  Needless to say,  we would like to thank Danny for
  the enormous amount of work he has put into compiling this CD.

  Here's a quick rundown of the contents of the CD-ROM...

  * Nearly a thousand high quality 16-bit AVR samples covering a vast range of
  instruments.  There's bass sounds (acoustic and synthesized,  including  the
  TB303!),  synthesizer  sounds from analogue and digital synths  (instruments
  such  as  the  Korg T3,  Roland SH101,  Juno  106,  JX3P  and  Yamaha  DX7),
  percussion  loops and single hits (from the Linn drum,  TR808,  606 and  909
  amongst others), orchestral instrumentation and vocal samples.

  * Hundreds of music files in MOD, Pro 24 SNG, Quartet and standard MIDI file
  formats, covering classical, jazz, pop, drum programming and other genres.

  *  Librarians  and sound editors for most modern popular  MIDI  synthesizers
  including Korg, Roland, Kawai, Akai, Yamaha, Ensoniq and Casio.

  PRODUCT INFORMATION

  When it was originally released,  this double CD set was hailed as the  best
  compilation of English language Atari software to date. The downside was the
  price tag at over 50 pounds. This re-release of that popular CD includes the
  complete  contents of the original 2 disc set archived to fit onto a  single
  CD at a much lower price. Much  of the software  on this CD  is American  in
  origin and has never made its way onto the Internet, BBS or PDLs. Categories
  include Games, Utilities, Children's Programs,  Falcon software,  Databases,
  Comms  software,  Screen Savers,  Picture   Manipulation  Tools,   Financial
  Software,  MiNT  Utilities,  Midi Files  and much  more besides,  with  each
  program catalogued on the  disc.  An Aladin's  Cave  of Atari software at an
  affordable price.  No Atari CD-ROM owner can afford to be without it!

  as well as all the new software they have collected in the past three years.
  As with their first CD,  much of the software is of American origin and  has
  not received widespread distribution outside of the States. An absolute gold
  mine  of top quality Atari software,  this CD has the contents of over  1400
  floppies!
