  UTL.194 Picture conversion utilities. Icon2 - converts Degas to Print Master
  and  vice versa.  IFF Convert - Converts Amiga  IFF,  Neo,  Degas,  Tiny  or
  Spectrum  512  to Neo,  Degas or IFF.  Convert - converts to  and  from  IMG
  format.  Copy out of folder before use. IMG Utils - a collection of programs
  which  will  enhance  IMG files.  Macvert -  strips  MacBinary  header  from
  Macintosh GIF files. Pic Covert - convert Neo to Degas (any res). Rez Render
  -  loads  in a CAD 3D file and allows you to create  solid  objects,  change
  angle of view,  ray trace etc. SpecGif4 - converts Spectrum 512 files to GIF
  format.  SPSlide 9 - can display Spectrum 512 files and add various  effects
  to  the files.  Only runs at 60Hz (unsuitable for some colour  TVs).

  UTL.199  Support  disk for Degas/Degas  Elite.  10  customised  brushes,  17
  printer drivers, 156 customised fill patterns, details of CAD 3D file format
  and  Degas  Display.  Also on disk is Degas Picture.  Uses  instructions  in
  SEQUENCE.SEQ file (created in any ASCII text editor) to load in Degas PI1 or
  PI2  pictures.  If  the pictures are in a ramdisk you can  create  your  own
  animations.

  ART.11M  HISTART and PUBLIC PAINTER - Two mono art packages both with a  few
  interesting added features and a few usual ones not implemented.  Well worth
  a look.

  ART.12C PALETTE MASTER - A colour art package.  Can display all 512  colours
  simultaneously within limits.  Can easily show 50 colours or more on screen.
  Is compatible with Neo and Degas but is in many ways superior to them. There
  is one irritating bug.  The application reads free disk space on bootup  and
  will only save as many picture files as there is room for. Changing the disk
  doesn't help either.  The solution is to move _Palart.prg,  _Paldata.Dat and
  _Palhbl.Use  to a blank disk then boot up.  This will allow 8 or 9  pictures
  per  disk to be saved.  This program is close to the excellence  of  Quantum
  Paint. ART UTILITIES - 3 versions of DR DOODLE, 2 versions of FAT, NEOCHROME
  v0.5  - An early art package from Atari,  2 versions of WIND  (nasty!).  NOT
  STE. DESIGN - A med res CAD type design package.

  ART.13M  ARTIST - A mono art package.  It is compatible with Degas but  more
  advanced in certain areas,  although not all.  Who said black and white  was
  boring? This package can do things that you wouldn't even dream of. PICWORKS
  -  This is the best art manipulation package on the market.  You can    load
  and  save  pictures in any recognised format and do some amazing  things  to
  them.  Use this package for those special effects not available in your  own
  art   package. This version is mono only.

  ART.14  MASTERPAINT and PAINT LUX - Masterpaint runs in any  resolution  but
  Paint Lux is for mono use only. FRACTAL LANDSCAPE DESIGNER - Written in Fast
  Basic (run time module supplied).  Generates random landscapes from  fractal
  graphics.  Also  included  is a utility which allows you to print  out  your
  creations to an Epson compatible printer.  This disk runs in high or  medium
  resolution.

  ART.15C  FLICKER - This art package runs in low resolution and includes  the
  option of animation.  No documentation,  but easy to use.  Will load Neo  or
  Degas pictures.  Includes C source code.  MEGABLIT - Runs in any resolution,
  allows  you to work on screens larger than the physical screen  area.  Magic
  Painter - Runs in high and medium resolutions only.  Thanks to Terry Billany
  for the translations.  PEARL and BLASTRAM - Two programs designed to  create
  ray tracing within normal picture files.  Fully documented on disk. Although
  useable on a 520ST,  these programs produce better results with 1 Meg memory
  or  more.  Also  on  the disk is VAN GOCH,  an art  package  which  features
  animation.

  ART.18 GEM DRAW - The PD version of this art package. It is fully functional
  with the exception of the save feature.  Use Snapshot to save your pictures.
  DEGAS  SNAP  -  Load a Degas picture into memory then save it  back  in  the
  desired format using Snapshot. NEO2MONO - Converts a Neo picture into a high
  res Degas PI3 file.  Includes C source code.  MONO2MED - converts Degas high
  res  to Degas medium res.  NEOCHANGE - Converts high res Degas files to  Neo
  format.  PCONVERT  - Converts a .PIC file to Degas format.  ZEICHNEN - A  3D
  drawing program.  Program and documentation in German. PIC- SNAP - creates a
  window  for  you  to load a picture file into.  Use  Snapshot  to  save  it.
  ANDROMEDA  - A high res art package.  Better by far than Degas Elite and  as
  good  as  Artist on ART.13M.  Thanks to Terry Billany for  translating  this
  program.

  ART.21  R-DRAW  -  A drawing program primarily designed for  high  res  use,
  although it will run in medium.  It uses Degas format and this makes it easy
  to  convert  your  pictures to almost any other format  using  Picswitch  or
  Tinystuf  v4.  Pictures  can be sent to the printer and you can  hold  three
  pictures in ram at any time. Mirror, zoom and black commands are present, as
  are  the  usual  shapes.  Disk  manual is provided  and  extensive  help  is
  available from within the program.  It is recommended that you have 1 Meg of
  memory,  although the program will run on a 520.   PAINTER ST - An excellent
  mono only drawing package.  It is unique in that it assigns each screen to a
  function key.  Both program and instructions are in German.  Must be  copied
  out of the folder before it will run correctly.  DEGAS IN - Loads in a Degas
  PI? picture then saves it back in BI? format! This program is in German so I
  don't fully understand its purpose.  SNAPHELP - Allows you to load in  files
  in  Degas,  Doodle or Mandelbrot formats and save them back as Degas  files.
  PICSWITCH  v0.7  -  A  picture conversion utility  which  converts  from  14
  different formats into Degas, Degas compressed or Neochrome. Three colourful
  graphics demos.

  ART.22  The  PD  version of the IMAGIC  GRAPHIC  COMPILER  from  Application
  Systems  Heidelberg.  It is a complete art package and much  more.  You  can
  create your artwork within Imagic and then animate it.  It is also  possible
  to  import  your  own  graphics.  The  quality  of  animations  possible  is
  incredible.  This disk contains the Imagic program along with both mono  and
  colour demos.  The version of Imagic on this disk is an early one and it  is
  not  possible to compile your own stand alone programs.  You must  load  and
  execute  your creations through the Imagic program. Needs 1 Meg.

  ART.23 FRACTAL ZOOM v3.5 by Ian Connor - Allows you to draw, zoom in and out
  etc.  2 fractal movies are included on disk.  There is a help screen  within
  the  program and documentation on disk.  This is one of the fastest  Fractal
  generator programs available.

  ART.24M LITTLE PAINTER v4.28 - One of the best mono art package for the  ST.
  It  is  so well written that it beats most commercial packages!  A  host  of
  features including its own font editor along with some sample  fills,  fonts
  and pictures.

  ART.26M JIL 2D - An extensive fully functional CAD package. Includes the use
  of Macros etc. Needs 1 Meg.

  ART.30M COLUMBIA, PEGASUS and STUDIO - Three mono art packages from Germany.
  Pegasus  is in English and similar to Andromeda on ART.18.  Columbia  is  in
  English with no documentation.  Studio is in German as is its documentation.
  ELDICAD - CAD program designed for use by electronic engineers.  A  complete
  drafting  package which includes a library of electronic component  pictures
  within  the program.  MOBZPLOT - Allows you to create and plot 3D  geometric
  figures. Movie Maker - create and animates wire-frame drawings. The programs
  on this disk are in English but the documentation is in Dutch!  Would anyone
  like to translate?

  selected areas.  MANDELBROT - A good German Mandelbrot generator. MANDELSHOW
  -  a  menu driven Mandelbrot generator which saves and loads  files  in  IFF
  format.  E-PAINTER  -  An  art program written on the STE.  It  has  no  STE
  specific  function and will run on any ST.  Rather basic and really only  of
  interest to young children. KALEIDESCOPE - A fun demo.

  ART.35C TRI_ART - A simple but promising art program written in STOS  Basic.
  PATGEN - Generates random patterns and allows you to save them in PI1 or NEO
  format. Pattern types can easily be altered as can palettes. Written in STOS
  Basic. Full source code for both programs is included. MANDELBROT ADVENTURER
  - Allows you to delve into the theory of fractal geometry. The menus let you
  manipulate  the  Mandelbrot  set by changing  variables  and  observing  the
  effects of the changes.

  ART.39 DEGASCON v2.04 - Loads various picture formats like Degas, Tiny, Neo,
  Doodle  etc;  and converts it to Degas PI?  and prints them to an  Epson  or
  compatible  printer.  Full documentation on disk.  BIOMORPH -  This  program
  displays 6 fractal patterns and by pressing keys 1 to 6 the user selects the
  best shape. This is then replicated 5 times with slight variations. JP-ART -
  Uses two parameters to produce nice patterns in 16 colours. You can save the

  ART.57M   KUBUDRAW  -  A straightforward mono art  package  translated  from
  German by Bob Macleod.  Fairly standard toolset,  reads & writes 32k  dumps.
  Nothing earth-shattering but worth a look.

  ART.61  ELECTRIC IMAGE by Nigel Head - A Shareware package which runs in all

  within  the  program.  Two screens are available for drawing.  A  number  of
  pictures are also included.

  ART.63M  BUTTERFLY  ARTIST  - Mega German art package  translated  by  Terry
  Billany.  It  has  a  good  toolset  and reads  and  writes  wide  range  of
  fileformats including Degas and .IMG.  The program uses all available RAM to
  give  an enormous drawing area on a 2 Meg or 4 Meg machine,  allowing an  A4

  24-pin  printers (at up to 360 dpi).  This is an object  orientated  package
  similar to Easy Draw,  Hyper Draw etc.  Although this is a fully  functional
  program,  it  is Shareware and registered users get an even better  version.
  Needs 1 Meg.

  ART.67C  COLOURSPACE from Llamasoft - Another top quality Shareware  release
  from Jeff Minter. It goes to prove that Shareware really can work. This time
  it's a light synthesiser,  the followup to Psychedelia on the 8-bit machines
  and the predecessor to Trip-A-Tron on the ST,  which continues to sell well.
  Colourspace is described by Jeff as follows "The basic idea is  simple:  the
  light-synthesiser  is  an 'instrument' which produces dynamic  patterns  and
  colour sequences under the direct control of the operator. The lightsynth is
  generally used in conjunction with music;  it's nice to sit down and  mellow
  out with your favourite sounds and use the lightsynth;  yer mates can  watch
  too".  Register for only a fiver and get a full printed manual and a copy of
  Jeff's newsletter.  Highly recommended.  DECO-ST v4.0 by SID - An impressive
  update  to this popular art package.  Deco-ST is Degas compatible and  gives
  the illusion of more than 16 colours on screen. It features all the standard
  drawing tools and a few extra ones too.  Easy to use and highly  recommended
  to the beginner.  CYPHER - A picture scrambler. Hides your masterpeices from
  prying eyes. Encodes the file so that it cannot be viewed ordinary and needs
  a password to be entered before it can be loaded.

  ART.69  ST DESIGNER - A very good mono art package,  which is  iconised  and
  therefore  easy to use.  English translation by Bob  Macleod.  Comprehensive
  toolset including bezier curves.  Uses non-standard text fonts but an editor
  is included.  Reads and writes Degas .PI3 files.  Supports 9-pin, 24-pin and
  laser printers.  Needs 1 Meg.   Picture converters and viewers.  METAVIEW  -
  Allows  the viewing of GEM metafiles (.GEM files) in a standard GEM  window.
  Includes  numerous features.  SPU2SPC - Converts Spectrum  512  uncompressed
  pictures  into  compressed format.  MGIF v5.0 by Johan Klockars  -  A  major
  upgrade on what used to be a GIF viewer program for mono monitors.  Nowadays
  it's a fully fledged image processing package!  Perhaps what made it popular
  in the past was its ability to give the appearance of true greyscale display
  on  a mere monochrome monitor.  This has of course been retained.  MGIF  now
  runs  in  any resolution right up to True Colour and  preserves  the  colour
  depth  of your image,  regardless of current screen  resolution.  It  allows
  processing  on  single colour channels or the combined RGB  structure  as  a
  whole.  MGIF supports the loading of GIF, TGA, PPM, PI1, PI2, AIM and (X)IMG
  formats in addition to its own custom format.  It saves in  GIF,  TGA,  PPM,
  (X)IMG  and its own file formats.  A number of useful filters such as  blur,
  median,  dilation, erosion and pixelise are supported as well as the ability
  to brighten and contrast your image. Other useful features such as re-sizing
  and mirroring are also supported. Includes a fair amount of documentation in
  ST-Guide (not included) format.

  ART.71C  CRACK  ART  v1.36  - This is the  most  comprehensive  art  package
  available  and it's Shareware!  You can load and save all the  popular  file
  formats including Degas,  Neo, Spectrum 512, Art Director and so on. Many of
  the features in this package have never before been seen on an ST.  There is
  also the option to grab graphics from within program and data files as  well
  as  from  protected  disks!  The full manual on disk (over  130K)  has  been
  translated  into  English  by Tony Dicken for Floppyshop.  Due  to  lack  of
  Shareware registrations,  the authors have put a number of restrictions into
  this  version,  the  most noticeable of which is that you cannot  save  your
  work.  When you register they'll give you the codes to unlock the full power
  of this program. Crack Art needs 1 Meg.

  ART.72  ANIMTOOL v2.1 by Martin Packer - An incredible program  which  gives
  control over frame by frame animation. It stores only the difference between
  frames rather than each picture seperately.  Animations can be made to  load
  from the Auto folder without user interaction.  Please note that this is not
  a  drawing  package and that individual frames must be designed  in  such  a
  package first.  A number of animation are included.  KWIKPIC - An ACC  which
  displays Degas and Neo pictures.  VIEWGIF V1.2 - A major upgrade of viewgif8
  on ART.56.  This version allows full use of the ST screen (i.e. no borders),
  reads  more  IFF file types and has a few bug fixes.  Viewgif can  read  and
  write GIF,  IFF,  Degas,  Neo,  Mac and others.

  ART.73M  PAD V2.4 - Another impressive mono only art program  from  Germany.
  Translated  into English by Jim Daniel and Evelyn Mills.  This  program  can
  load and save a variety of formats including Degas,  Neo, IFF, IMG, straight
  screen (A5 or din A4),  Monostar,  STAD and Imagic.  It will even attempt to
  load unknown file types. PAD has all the features expected of such a package
  and  much  more.  There are varoius options for  shadowing,  graduated  grey
  fills,  printing  at  various sizes and up to 100 screens  of  animation  is
  possible  if  you  have sufficient memory.  It allows easy  creation  of  3D
  objects  of  almost any size and shape.  Numerous top quality  pictures  are
  included on disk. Needs at least 1 Meg.

  ART.74 KRITZEL - An impressive program with a number of extras. Signum fonts
  can  be  used in your pictures and printout can be to any 9-pin or  24-  pin
  printer.  Extensive  block manipulation is possible with the  various  tools
  included  as  well as the ability to outline.  Kritzel is easy  to  use  via
  keyboard or mouse and loads both Degas PI3 files as well as 32k dumps. Files
  are saved as 32k dumps. MIKRODRAW - An interesting package which is let down
  only by the lack of instructions. Loads and saves 32k dumps. Appears to have
  some  object oriented features.  Worth a look.  SIGIPAINT - A  comprehensive
  program which loads and saves the files from most PD/Shareware art packages.
  The  tools  provided  are well desgned and easy  to  use.  Well  documented.
  GFAFRACTAL - GFA Basic source only.  This program allows manual control over
  parameter setting,  a zoom function,  both Julia and Mandelbrot  curves,  an
  autosave option and so on.  MOUNTAINS - Creates pictures of mountains  using
  fractal graphics. The resulting pictures can be saved as Degas pictures. QRT
  - A ray tracing program originally available only on the Amiga. This version
  is 100% compatible with the Amiga version. It saves files in its own format.
  These can be converted to Spectrum 512 format with a program on  disk.  This
  program is very complicated with the manual  running into over 100k, but the
  results  are really impressive.  SPIRO - Creates Spirograph   type  pictures
  allowing you to set up the angle, pen colour and radii.

  ART.3091C  PICTURE  CONCEPT  - Load in your own pictures  and  achieve  some
  fascinating  effects  with this program which are not possible in  many  art
  packages.  Autoboot and select the English option if you want the menus  and
  docs  in English.  Don't delete the bootsector or you'll be stuck  with  the
  French  version!  VIDEO CONCEPT - Digitising software for use with Vidi  ST.
  Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. Two excellent programs by
  The Conceptors.

  ART.3139  ANALMETA  -  Prints information on the contents of  a  .GEM  file.
  BOOTPIC - Assembler source for loading ART,  NEO,  PI1,  TN1 files from  the
  bootsector.  Also included is source for loading NEO or PI1, then a program,
  from the bootsector. GIFFER - Displays GIF files on a mono monitor. GRABBER2
  - After installation,  press ALT+HELP to save the current screen to a memory
  buffer then select the ACC to save to disk. IDEALIMG - Allows you to set the
  resolution  in the header of an IMG file to that of your output  device  (9-
  pin,  24-pin,  laser).  This  is  invaluable in programs like Touch  Up  and
  Pagestream where it helps preserve the aspect ratio.  LSYSTEM - Creates user
  defined  objects  from fractals.  Enter your instructions in its  own  fully
  documented programming language to create new objects.  The fractals created
  can  be  saved in Degas format.  GIFVIEW - Two programs  which  display  GIF
  pictures using the 16 most popular colours or a combination of grey  scales.
  Because these programs are so small,  large GIF pictures can be loaded on  a
  520.  MANDELTOY - A mandelbrot set generator which allows output to disk  or
  printer.  You  can  set  the amount of iterations as well as  the  X  and  Y
  coordinates.  ND_SNAP  -  Yet another snapshot  accessory.  PHRAQTAL  -  Yet
  another  fractal generator.  This one is certainly the fastest yet  and  has
  more user definable options than most.  PIXPRO II - Improves the contrast on
  colour  pictures created using video digitisers so they can be used as  clip
  art. Includes source in GFA Basic. SNAPSHOT - Saves a snapshot of the screen
  to disk in NEO format after pressing ALT+HELP.  SPCSHOW - Simply displays an
  SPC  picture  on  screen.  Also  included are  assembler  source  files  for
  displaying  Spectrum  512  compressed and  uncompressed  files.  SPEC2DEG  -
  Converts Spectrum uncompressed pictures to Degas format.  Also included is a
  program which converts Spectrum compressed to Spectrum uncompressed.  SPRITE
  ST - A sprite designer which also allows animation to be created. Includes a
  detailed  description  of  the file format used.  SQUEEZIM  -  Uses  maximum
  compression on IMG files.  Especially useful when using IMG files which  are
  not  compressed or inefficiently compressed by other  programs.  STADCONV  -
  Assembler  source  to  convert STAD pictures to and from  32k  screen  image
  format.  SYNTHETIC ARTS V3 by The Cybernetics - An impressive full  featured
  art package with a host of features. Has a similar 'feel' to Neochrome. This
  program  can  be  set up in French or English.  TNY BOOT - Loads  up  a  TNY
  picture  at boot up.  VIDI2DLT - converts a series of sequentially  numbered
  Degas  PI1  files into a single DLT animation  file.  Useful  for  digitised
  animations such as those created by Vidi ST.

  ART.3189  THE  SPX EDITOR V1.4 by The Phantom - This disk contains  all  you
  need  to  create your own Spectrum 512 extended  format  pictures.  You  can
  combine up to 10 Spectrum 512 screens into one file or piece together  files
  from  the  PC or the Amiga which are larger than the  ST's  physical  screen
  depth. For example, an Amiga high res picture of 320x400 can be saved on the
  Amiga  as  two  320x200 screens,  ported across to  the  ST,  imported  into
  Spectrum 512, re-saved as two SPC files and joined back together as a single
  SPX file. This program is most useful to users who also own Amigas or PCs. A
  number  of sample SPC files are provided for you to play around  with.  This
  latest  version is fully compatible with Gizmo's SPX format and  the  shower
  program has been updated to allow Ice packed or Atomik packed screens to  be
  viewed.  Another program on disk allows you to split large GIF and IFF files
  into 320x200 chunks to be spliced together in the SPX creator.  Also on disk
  are numerous completed SPX files created by Radical Systems.

  ART.3190C  ANIMATOR  -  An  excellent  animation  package  written  by   The
  Overlanders.  CYBERSTAR  - For use with CAD 3D v2.0 and  Cyber  Control.  It
  allows  automated  control over the background image appearing  behind  your
  animations. This first version is limited to controlling starfields. DMJ_GIF
  v3 - Converts GIF, PI?, PC?, TN? and near enough anything else you can think
  of,  into Spectrum 512 format. It can also re-size pictures which are larger
  than 320x200. A most impressive upgrade to a Shareware popular program. This
  latest version is fully GEM based,  using a unique 3D push button interface.
  Unfortunately  the  docs are missing so you're on your own  with  this  one.
  FINELINE  - A very basic but nevertheless impressive line  drawing  program.
  You can load and save NEO and Degas pictures.  Essentially all you can  draw
  is lines or curves so this program would be of more use to improve  existing
  pictures  than  create  new ones.  It could also  prove  popular  for  young
  children as it is simple to use. DUPSHOW - Perhaps one of the best slideshow
  programs around.  You can view a selection of PI1,  PI2, PC1, PC2, NEO, IFF,
  TNY and TN1 files and control display time etc.  What is amazing about  this
  program is that most file types can be compressed with ICE or Atomic and are
  still  loaded  and displayed normally.  Top quality Shareware  from  France.
  FLICONV  by Martin Packer - Converts FLI format (from Autodesk  Animator  on
  the  PC)  to TAT format as used by Thrax's Animation Tool  on  ART.72.  This
  program  converts  all the frames across and performs any  colour  reduction
  necessary.  ROYAL PAINT V1.32 by Atte Oksanen - A Shareware Degas clone from
  Finland.  It  runs very sluggishly compared to Degas but offers most of  the
  same  functions and a few extras.  Royal Paint loads and saves in Degas  PI1
  format.

  ART.3191C  NEOCHROME TUTORIAL - This disk consists of a total of 23  lessons
  on using Neochrome. The lessons are in the form of NEO pictures which can be
  loaded into the package.  Although some of the tutorial is only relevant  to
  Neochrome v1.0 (a commercial package),  most of it applies equally to the PD
  version on ART.12C.

  ART.3279 SPEC CODE DEMO - This program allows you to load and view  Spectrum
  512 picture files in STOS Basic.  After each picture is displayed, a message
  will appear saying that you are using the demo.  Registered users get rid of
  this  annoying message!  Pictures are shown in 512 colours on an ST or  4096
  colours  on  an STE.  Several Spectrum 512 pictures are  included  on  disk.
  Colour only. ARCHIVARIUS V2 - An impressive database type program which will
  display PAC format pictures and allow you to search for individual pictures,
  zoom  pictures,  convert  to other formats etc.  Several  PAC  pictures  are
  included on disk.  Mono only.  DEGASPIC - Loads up a Degas picture when  you
  boot up.  Select the ACC from the menu bar to display the picture.  Works in
  any resolution.  DEGAMAC2 - Converts Degas PI3 files to MacPaint format  and
  vice versa. Allows rotating, cropping and centring on screen as appropriate.
  High res only.  DEGREAD - Loads in any uncomprossed Degas picture and  shows
  info on resolution and colour and animation tables. If the picture is in the
  same  res  as your computer,  it will also be displayed  on  screen.

  ART.3303C PHOTOCHROME by Douglas Little - This is the biggest beakthrough in
  ST graphics since the machine was released.  The programs on this disk allow
  you to convert any IFF (including HAM and 24-bit interlaced HAM),  GIF, Vidi
  RGB,  Quick Ray Trace,  DKB Ray Trace TGA and REAL-3D ray traced files (with
  16 million colours) to a format which can be displayed on your ST.  They can
  be  converted to Spectrum 512 format using 512 colours (or 4096 if you  have
  an  STE)  or PCS format (basically Spectrum 512 with the streaks  and  holes
  taken out) or to Super Ham in 4096 colours on any ST. The ultimate format is
  STE PhotoChrome which displays 19200 from a palette of 32768.  All  Spectrum
  type file formats are 'immunised' against sync problems. A slideshow program
  is provided for viewing all those extra colours.  Short of buying a  Falcon,
  this is the graphic breakthrough of the decade!  If you want to see the real
  power  of Photochrome,  I suggest you get hold of PIC.3306C  and  PIC.3307C.
  There are now two versions of Photochrome on disk,  one for half Meg and one
  for 1 Meg machines.  The half Meg version will not handle TGA or GIF files.

  ART.3411C   CREATE - Generates 'self-afine' fractal graphics  i.e.  fractals
  which  are  made up from copies of themselves.  The program has  38  fractal
  graphics pre-programmed into it. Register with the author and you'll get the
  source  code  in GFA and HiSoft Basics so that you can add up  to  100  pre-
  programmed  fractals to the program.   DKB TRACE - The ST version of  a  ray
  tracer  on  the  Amiga and PC which produces 24 bit graphics  in  up  to  16
  million colours!  There are 49 source files on disk for you to ray trace  at
  your  leisure.  The viewer program on disk is required in order for  you  to
  view your creations on an ST.   KRASKA - A nice easy to use fractal graphics
  program which creates fractals using any one of 12 methods!  Your  creations
  are saved in Degas format.  A high degree of user control is possible within
  the  program.  The  more complex functions can be set to autorun so  that  a
  session can continue unattended overnight.  ELECTRONIC ART - An art  program
  which  is designed for the electronics enthusiast.  You have access  to  the
  full range of electronic symbols and can make up your own circuits on screen
  and dump the pictures to your printer.  Not TOS 2.06.  No instructions  with
  this one but it's pretty straight-forward anyway.

  ART.3412C  ARTPRINT - Allows you to search through disks for clip art files.
  Specified files can be printed out on most 9-pin and 24-pin printers.  Files
  supported are IMG,  PI3,  PC3,  DOO,  ArtiST,  TNY and TN3.  High res  only.
  AUTOSEQ - Install as an application on your Desktop using the SEQ extension.
  Save  Desktop  and  reboot.  Now all you need to do to load  a  Cyber  Paint
  animation is double-click the SEQ file.  Loading is much quicker and  easier
  than  using  Animate4.  IFF PLAY - An improved player (quicker to  load  and
  without bugs!) for Deluxe Paint animation files. Can even be used to autorun
  animations.  FL2IFF - Converts FLI files from Autodesk Animator on the PC to
  Deluxe Paint IFF animations, performing the necessary 16 colour reduction as
  it goes! These can be replayed using IFF PLAY (also on this disk). DUMPLAB -
  Takes  'dump'  files  from DKB 2.1 on the PC and coverts them  to  Degas  or
  Quantum Paintbox formats for use on the ST.   GASD - A clever little program
  which  converts Degas or Spectrum 512 pictures to AIM (ART.09)  format.  The
  user  is given a substantial amount of control over the  conversion  process
  and  AIM  format  can also be converted to Degas.  No  readme  but  help  is
  available  from  within the program.  THE CARTOONIST -  A  sprite  animation
  program which includes C source for incorporating your animations into  your
  own  programs.  THE CHAOS GAME - This is an odd one.  It  involves  creating
  fractal graphics by the throw of a dice! I'm still not entirely convinced as
  to  the usefulness of the program but you can judge for yourself.  JPEG -  A
  method  of picture compression used on the PC.  It is highly  compacted  but
  does  result in a certain amount of loss of image quality.  Mainly used  for
  compressing  and decompressing GIF files.  SMALLVIEW - Creates mini-pics  of
  Degas picture files.  Search through the mini-pics to find the one you  want
  without  having  to load them all up.  Particularly useful  for  hard  drive
  users.  PICPRINT - An ACC which prints out Degas and ArtiST pictures at  640
  dots  per  line  (assuming your printer can handle this) to  give  a  better
  output than a screendump.  Mono only.  PICPRINT2 - Install as an application
  on the Desktop.  Specify the PI?  extender, Save Desktop and reboot. Now you
  just need to double-click any Degas PI?  file and it will display on screen,
  then output to printer.  Works in any res.   SPINWHEEL - Creates  Spirograph
  type effects on screen.  You can load and save pictures,  even choosing your
  own backgrounds for your patterns.

  ART.3484   BGIF - Loads a GIF picture of any size and rescales it to  a  low
  res 320x200 picture in Degas, Neo or SPU format. Colour only. BJ CHROME V1.4
  by  Rufus  Developments - Allows you to load up a Degas or Neo  picture  and
  print  it out in full colour on a Canon Bubblejet printer.  BJ  Chrome  will
  also  drive  the Star SJ-48.  To do this you leave the  printer  in  default
  Epson/NEC mode but set up the software for IBM ProPrinter mode! Weird but it
  works.  BJ  Chrome requires that you have a sheet feeder fitted.  HP  CHROME
  V1.5 by Rufus Developments - Prints colour pictures on any HP Deskjet  (even
  mono ones, assuming you have a colour kit fitted of course!). You can adjust
  the  colour  rendering  to suit and print out using  one  of  three  quality
  settings.  Pictures can even be cropped or viewed in any ST resolution. This
  latest upgrade supports the printing of Degas, NEO, TNY, GIF, TIFF, IMG, RAW
  and  Spectrum  512 pictures.  CONVERT - Converts picture files to  and  from
  Degas (PI?  and PC?,  any res), Neo, Art Director, PicWorks (any res), Stad,
  Doodle  and IMG formats.  Colour or mono.  GALLERY - A great  slideshow  for
  displaying Spectrum 512,  Degas and Neo pictures.  What makes the difference
  is the fact that you add your own scrolltext, have Mad Max music playing and
  add text to the screen display.  Degas and Neo files can be used to make  up
  animations which can be run from a ramdisk. GIF2DJET by Rufus Developments -
  Simply takes a GIF file of any size,  scales it to fit the page, grey scales
  it,  gamma corrects it, contrast enhances it, dithers it and prints it to an
  HP Deskjet Plus.  It only prints in mono and only to the Deskjet  Plus,  but
  it's  good!  GIFINFO  -  C source code for decoding GIF  87  picture  files.
  GIF2RAW - Coverts a GIF file into a RAW. REDU_RAW - Takes a RAW file created
  by GIF2RAW and re-sizes it to 320x200.  CONTRAST - Stretches the contrast of
  a  RAW file after re-sizing with REDU_RAW.  Obviously the best thing  to  do
  with  the  end product is to convert it to PCS format using  PhotoChrome  on
  ART.3303C!  GIF2RAW  - Converts a GIF file into RAW format.  REDU_RAW -  Re-
  sizes a RAW created by GIF2RAW into a 320x200 screen.   RAW2SPEC -  Converts
  the  RAW file into Spectrum 512 format.  MANDALA - Creates  interesting  and
  perhaps  even artistic patterns.  Can be run as a PRG or ACC.  It must  have
  some use!  Mono only. PCX2IMG 2 - Simply converts PCX files (mono or colour)
  to  IMG  format.  SPU_FILE - Reads a Mac or Aladin disk and  allows  you  to
  transfer files (most probably pictures) to an ST formatted  disk.  Picswitch
  is  also  provided so that you can convert the Mac pictures into  a  useable
  format.  SHOWTRIX by Tony Barker - A slideshow which displays Degas,  Neo or
  IFF pictures using a selection of special effects.  A number of pictures are
  included.  Colour only.  MITHRIL - A 3D animation.  It has a ray traced look
  but  does not use ray tracing.  It calculates how many frames you have  room
  for  in memory and then goes on to calculate them.  The entire process  will
  take several minutes, depending on how many frames you have selected, but it
  will  be  worth the wait.  All programs on this disk run in colour  or  mono
  unless otherwise stated.

  ART.3485  GEMVIEW V3.16 - This program allows you to view almost any picture
  format from almost any computer in almost any resolution on any Atari 16-bit
  or  32-bit  machine!    The picture is displayed in a  GEM  window  and  the
  scroll  bars can be used to view areas not displayed on  screen,  where  the
  resolution of  the picture exceeds that of your monitor.  Pictures with more
  colours than can be displayed in the current resolution go through a  colour
  reduction and  dithering process  so that  the picture  can be  viewed.  You
  can currently display any picture in the following formats:- GIF,  SUN, B&W,
  PAC,  IFF,  BMP,  RLE,  IMG  (including colour), GEM, NEO, ART, DEGAS, TINY,
  DOO,  SPU,  SPC,  XBM, PBM, PGM, PPM, MAC, TGA, TIFF, RSC, PCX, VIDAS, APPLE
  II,  Mac Sartup Screen,  Megapaint,  CRG,  Apple Imagewriter, MGF, Monostar,
  Printfox,  Pagefox,  Thunderscan, Inshape, STraight Fax, R24, QFax/Coma-Fax,
  XGA,  PhotoCD and JPEG.   Pictures can be resized and resaved in  IMG,  ESM,
  IFF,  BMP, GIF, TIFF, TGA, MGF, Inshape, STraight Fax, R24, QFax/Coma-Fax or
  JPEG formats.  This latest version is fully Multi-TOS compatible and  Falcon
  enhanced.   Latest  features include colour scale adjust,  colour  dithering
  algorythms for 4,  8, 16, 64 and 256 colours, compatibility with most colour
  graphic  cards  and the ability to  convert a GEM  metafile  into  a  raster
  graphic. Gemview can also display ASCII files and do a hex dump of any file.
  Also  included  is Gemshow,  which can be installed as a file  viewer  under
  Multi-TOS  and  communicate with Gemview.  Floppyshop are the  only  company
  permitted to distribute GEM-View versions 3.0  and above in the UK.  This is
  a  Shareware  product  which  only remains  functional  for  30  days  after
  installation. Full details on how to register in the UK are contained on the
  disk.

  ART.3486C   T-CAD-Y by T S Rose - Basically a drawing program with  all  the
  usual tools but also with differing measurements and costings for  different
  types of material.  Supports overlaying and loads/saves screens as 'sheets'.
  Has slightly 'iffy' spelling and some quite bizarre example 'sheets'! ST CAD
  by  Yaron  Kidron - A very simple CAD program using command line  and  mouse
  input. A doc file helps you with the necessary commands.

  ART.3487C   TRIP-A-TRON by Jeff Minter - The legendary light synthesiser  is
  now  available as Shareware.  It is the successor to Colourspace on  ART.67C
  The  built in programming language is an 8 channel parallel  language  which
  allows  you  to  control  all aspects of  the  light  synth,  configure  the
  keyboard,  control  remote  machines  and  even  generate  complete  graphic
  animations.  Trip-A-Tron  is  designed to be used in conjunction  with  your
  favourite piece of music. You listen to the music and watch the monitor. The
  amount  of  special  effects available from within  the  program  is  simply
  incredible. This is where registration comes in. Try as you will, you simply
  can't get the best out of Trip-A-Tron without paying your tenner for the 200
  page manual.  Although the program is useable on any Atari 16-bit or  32-bit
  computer,  you will not be able to load in the examples on disk if you  have
  an  STE,  TT  or Falcon,  until you register.  Although  it  is  technically
  possible  to  run  Trip-A-Tron  on  a 520,  at least  1  Meg  of  memory  is
  recommended to make full use of the program.

  S-ART.3488  & S-ART.3489  AIM V3.1 - This is a major upgrade of Atari  Image
  Manager  by  Delft University.  The software is  designed  specifically  for
  enhancing digitised images.  Although it is described as an introduction  to
  image  processing,  AIM is probably more feature packed than is required  by
  the  'average' user.  This latest version allows you to scan images  in  256
  grey scales using the Epson GT-4000 colour scanner.  AIM can read and  write
  IFF, IMG, Degas, NEO and its own custom formats. The first disk contains the
  AIM system itself and the second is full of example images.  There is a help
  file  which  gives the syntax and purpose of each command,  but due  to  the
  complexity  of the program,  we recommend that you purchase the manual  from
  the authors if you intend putting AIM to serious use.

  ART.3490C   PROJECT  DRAGON  by  Bill Croan - The text file  on  disk  is  a
  detailed  description  of  how  Bill started out  with  a  scanned  picture,
  imported it into an art package,  re-sized it and coloured it.  The tutorial
  is very in depth and includes 12 NEO pictures showing intermediate stages of
  development and a Cyber Paint SEQ file with 101 frames.  The SEQ file can be
  loaded into the player on disk and will build up from a bare bones scan to a
  full colour picture before your eyes. The tutorial gives plenty of hints and
  tips  and is ideally suited to the budding artist.  Although  NEOChrome  and
  Cyber  Paint  are mentioned throughout the tutorial,  you can  use  any  art
  program which loads NEO files.

  ART.3646M  TINY DRAW - Quite a good, if not slighly dated, mono art package.
  It  has  some interesting brush effects like 'fisheye'  and  'spiral'!  File
  support  is  extensive,  though some have become  obsolete  with  time.  The
  documentation  is  quite good.  Of German origin but fully  translated  into
  English.  SIGI  PAINTER  - Once again a little dated,  judging by  the  file
  support,  but it has a few tricks up it's sleeve.  Mono or colour. MEGAPAINT
  MODULES  by Codehead Software - Absolutely tons of 'mods' to add to  one  of
  the very best mono paint packages. Far too many to go into but enough to say
  that these mods can be edited by name and size. You must have an original of
  MEGAPAINT  before you can make use of these files.  If you're a  MEGAPAINTER
  then this disk is a must.  TARTARTA - If you like weird things, then this is
  for you!  You can enjoy the real time composing of the artist from your lazy
  chair,  says the doc file. If you like art programs but don't fancy drawing,
  then sit back and let your computer do it all.  MIRACLES - This is  supplied
  for those who'd like to take a slightly more active role! It has some rather
  strange effects to tinker with.

  ART.3647C   FRACTAL  WORKSHOP  by Conrad Bessant -  A  Mandelbrot/Julia  set
  generator.  Runs in colour and mono and saves in PI1 and PI3  formats.  Well
  documented.  All  the normal facilities are there,  along with an  extensive
  info  in  the BOOK file.  FRACTAL ENGINE by Daniel Grace and Mike  Harris  -
  Supports all sets including 'Barnsley' and saves zoomed animations in  small
  or  full screen format with it's own animation player.  Also,  you can  save
  palettes and co-ordinates etc.  Very well documented with plenty of  example
  files. FRACLAND V1.2 by David Billington - Have you ever seen Vista on PC or
  Amiga?  This is maybe not as glamorous but it is almost as powerful.  It has
  many   similar features like camera/target,  wire frame  preview,  animation
  editor, colour terrain edit etc. It can even run on a 520 with it's mem/disk
  mode.  Generate  still or frame by frame animation sequences.  Fracland  has
  it's own separate anim viewer.  This is one of the best 3D fractal landscape
  generators  seen on the ST in a long time.  The documentation  is  excellent
  too!

  ART.3648C  ART TUTOR by Castlesoft - This program used to be commercial  but
  has been re-released as Shareware.  It tries to teach you how to draw  using
  simple examples like drawing faces,  bodies etc; with step by step examples,
  aided  by helpful text info.  Other examples include  basic  design,  colour
  theory  and  it  encourages working to a brief  and  organising  your  ideas
  properly.  It makes extensive use of examples to show you the whole  process
  and the final results can be quite impressive.  The program is menu  driven,
  making  it  easy to use.  A simple art program is supplied to  try  out  the
  tutorials. All in all, a helpful program for those budding artists requiring
  professional guidance.

  ART.3649C  LINE UP1 by Charles Edwards - Got a colour video digitiser but  a
  lousy  pause  facility on your VCR?  Grabbing each R,G,B picture  can  be  a
  nightmare  as each is out of alignment with the others and,  after  merging,
  the end result looks a mess. This neat little utility comes to the rescue by
  letting you re-align each component part and resave them.  You can then load
  them  back  into  the digitiser software  or  even  better,  Photochrome  on
  ART.3303C!

  ART.3718C  CALCYB - An ACC which converts Calamus fonts so they can be  used
  in CyberSculpt and CAD 3D.  COLRDUMP  - Replaces the ALT HELP print  routine
  so you can output in colour to both 9 pin and 24 pin printers. SPECPRNT - At
  long last, a program which prints Spectrum 512 pictures. It outputs to 9 pin
  or  24  pin  printers.  The picture must be in SPU format  (use  SPC2SPU  on
  ART.3139).   GIF2550C  by  Martin  Dryden  -  Prints  GIF  pictures  to  the
  HP Deskjet 550C.  The  GIF is printed out in up to 256 colours and  is  very
  high  quality,  especially  if printed on HP's glossy  paper.  A  couple  of
  example  GIFs  are  provided.  GIF2RAW by Paul  Hannington  -  Converts  GIF
  pictures (any size) to QRT RAW format so you can load them into  PhotoChrome
  (on  ART.3303C)  or  any  other  program  that  uses  RAW.   Excellent   for
  proportional  rescaling too!  OUTLINER - Outlines Degas pictures  with  some
  curious  effects.  EXTEND PI1 - At long last an answer to why DPaint ST  has
  trouble  with  some Degas PI1s.  It seems they should 32066  bytes  and  not
  32034!  This program puts it right.  SPOFLITE v2.5 - A brand new GIF  viewer
  from the USA that uses flicker control,  dither and RGB adjustment.  It's  a
  shame this is only a viewer and has no save option as yet.  PROFI ARTIST - A
  1987 package which is rather like an updated GemPaint,  but with options  to
  load or create 320x 400 (two screen high) pictures.  All the usual tools are
  there to experiment with. It saves PI? and DOODLE formats and works in all 3
  resolutions. A word of warning - you must copy the program out of the folder
  and onto the root directory!

  ART.3719  PAINTPOT by Switchsoft - Originally a commercial release,  now re-
  released as Shareware.  It runs in all 3 resolutions and loads and saves  in
  Degas  format.  Features include object create,  pie/barchart  create,  text
  import  plus all the usual drawing and painting tools.  It also has  a  very
  unusual  RGB colour edit operation.  Online help is available to  guide  you
  through the program's features.   IMG files can be loaded if running in high
  res.  It  will also attempt to load any picture file it's not sure of  (very
  hit and miss).

  ART.3729  FRACTAL PLAYTIME - View a fractal,  select an area and recalculate
  it  to make it prettier!  Plenty of examples are supplied on disk.  Docs  in
  LaTex and DVI format.  JCVIEW v2.1 by John Charles - An art viewer and  clip
  manipulator.  It  has  quite an extensive file support and lots  of  special
  effects.  MONO  ONLY.  24 BITS - A small program that displays QRT (or  MTV)
  Raytrace RAW format pictures.  It's rather similar to Photochrome, except it
  only  runs at 60Hz.  PICSWITCH V.101 - Just when you thought any updates  of
  v0.7  had sunk without trace,  at long last it gets updated!  Don't get  too
  excited,  as for some strange reason John Brochu has decided to make this  a
  mono  graphic  printer  tool,  supporting  9-pin,  24-pin  and  HP  Laserjet
  printers.  Even though he has extended even further the file format support,
  the only saves are in mono IMG.  If you're a mono user it's great, otherwise
  don't delete v0.7!  ST PIC - A simple picture converter which only  converts
  to mono files. It runs in mono or colour and loads Degas, Doodle, Stad, Mac,
  Neo, Art Director, TIF, IMG and GEM metafiles. It converts them to mono TIF,
  IMG or PI3 only.  ST PIC has dithering controls and can scroll around larger
  than normal pictures. JC VIEW is mono only, Fractal Playtime and 24 Bits are
  colour only. Picswitch and ST PIC run in colour or mono.

  ART.3730C   GRAYSCL  -  This appears to be a  grayscale  emulator  for  mono
  monitors.  There are no docs and the program itself is in German!  It  looks
  very  powerful but finding out how to use it could well be a  problem.  JPEG
  v6B - The CJPEG/DJPEG programs on ART.3412 have been updated and a couple of
  converters for other implementations of GIF and JPEG formats used on the  PC
  have been included.  For the unenlightened,  JPEG is a type of picture  file
  compression  which  offers  massive savings but suffers from  some  loss  of
  quality.  Example JPEGs are included as well as plenty of docs. ZONK by Dave
  Henniker  - This is a difficult one to describe.  To quote the  docs,  "Zonk
  makes  psychedelic patterns to stare at when you're too zonked for  anything
  else".  It can grab screens,  play bitmaps over them,  freak about with  the
  colours  and cycle them,  amongst other things.  Well documented,  from  the
  author  of Kozmic on ART.47C.  Needs 1 Meg.  Grayscl is mono only,  Zonk  is
  colour only and JPEG runs in either.

  ART.3734  POLYFILM by Martin Brownlow - A CAD 3D type program that generates
  animations  like small films.  It is both well written and well  documented.
  One  of its more impressive features is that the preview rotates  happen  in
  real time!  There are so many features to this program that it is impossible
  to go into here.  It is quite impressive and worth a look at. Comes complete
  with examples and its own film file viewer.  If you're into 3D then this  is
  for you! Falcon compatible.

  ART.3871  CHAOS CALC 2 - A rather fast Mandelbrot generator.  This one  lets
  you  zoom  almost  into infinity.  Although CC2 is powerful  as  it  stands,
  registered  users get a number of extras.  The program is GEM based and  the
  instructions are very straightforward.  A dozen pre-defined Mandelbrot  sets
  are included on disk. FRACTAL JOURNEY - This fractal generator supports both
  Mandelbrot  and Julia sets.  It creates a full screen fractal in just a  few
  seconds  and  is capable of generating animations.  24-bit true  colour  RAW
  files  can  be created.  These take ages to create and are written  to  disk
  since your ST can't display them. They are intended for use with PhotoChrome
  on  ART.3303.  FRACTGEN V1.0 - Generates fractal graphics using a number  of
  selected algorythms applied to any of the six available fractal  types.  You
  can zoom in to an almost infinite degree. It recalculates the zoomed area by
  representing  it  in  a blockish fashion like  an  art  package  does,  then
  smoothing it off using your chosen algorythm.  The results are very detailed
  and  once  again the only criticism is the inability to save in  a  sensible
  format. A maths coprocessor can be used to speed things up even further. MDL
  V1.0 - Allows you to run type 1 and 2, DL animations files on mono displays.
  I'm not sure which programs produce DL files,  but full C source for ST  and
  Unix systems is included.  PIC MON V1.1 - If you are in a package which will
  not allow you to load in a particular format of picture, this program may be
  what you need.  It supports NEO and Degas (PI?  and PC?) formats and  allows
  pictures  to be loaded into a different resolution or into a  package  which
  does not support the relevant format (e.g.  compressed Degas files). You can
  also double-click any Degas or Neo file of any resolution and show or  print
  it from the Desktop.  VIEW ST/TT - Allows you to view TGA,  RAW,  IMG, XIMG,
  IFF (including HAM),  GIF 87a,  SPC, SPU, PI?, PC?, NEO, ART or DOO pictures
  quickly and easily on an ST or TT.  The colours are reduced to fit those  of
  the available resolution if appropriate. The images can also be saved out in
  their converted state in Degas or QRT format.  WATCH IT V1.0A - Displays GIF
  pictures  in a GEM window.  It runs in any resolution,  reducing colours  as
  necessary, and is Multi-TOS compatible.

  S-ART.3872  & S-ART.3873  THE KANDINSKY COMPILATION by Ulrich Rossgoderer  -
  Two  versions  of  the  most  powerful  Shareware  vector  graphic  programs
  available.  Although v2 is now available, v1.73 is still being supported and
  is  looked upon as an entry level purchase with registration at around  half
  the cost of v2.  Check out these features:- KANDINSKY v1.73i - All the usual
  features like box,  round box, circle, elipse, line, polygon, arc and bezier
  curves are there.  The control offered over bezier curves is second to none.
  Text  input  is supported from 8 point to 20 point using  the  system  font.
  SpeedoGDOS  is supported if installed.   The package includes  10  excellent
  vector fonts in BGI format and these can be scaled to any size.   Greyscales
  and  shadowing   can be  applied to  objects and  these can  be  moved,  re-
  sized,  grouped,  ungrouped, mirrored and rotated as required.  Kandinsky is
  fully  Multi-TOS  compatible and the number of windows available is  limited
  only  by  available memory.  It loads and saves  GEM metafiles  as  well  as
  allowing  data  to be exchanged between programs using  the  GEM  clipboard.
  Although  the  programs  will  run  in any  resolution,it  is  best  run  in
  resolutions of at least  640 x 400.  Almost everything in Kandinsky is  user
  definable  and  can be saved as default.  A large amount of  GEM  files  are
  supplied for you to experiment with.  Highly recommended and well worth your
  while  registering.  Please  note  that  you cannot  print  unless  GDOS  of
  SpeedoGDOS is installed.  KANDINSKY V2.51 - Includes all the features of its
  predecessor  plus many more.  These include support for 3D colour icons  and
  256 colour modes (TT or Falcon),  FPU support,  Freedom,  iconification, TOS
  2's  drag  & drop protocol,  the editing of Calamus  CVG  files  (registered
  version) and the AV Protcol amongst other things. Now with context-sensitive
  ST-Guide (ST-Guide Lite included) based help, ability to map any object onto
  an unfilled bezier curve,  CVG export,  support for external font selectors,
  better  compatibility with MagiC and Magic Mac,  full support for  OLGA  and
  much more... The program is under constant development and is well supported
  by  the author.

  ART.4282   GIP v1.0 - Greyscale Image Processor.  A comprehensive  Shareware
  image processing program which is ideal for manipulating black and white  or
  colour digitised or scanned images.  There is an extensive range of  special
  effects  and  filters.  Each loaded picture is converted into  a  256  level
  image,  colour  reduced  if appropriate,  and displayed  in  the  appropiate
  current resolution.  GIP supports the loading of TIFF,  GIF, PCX, Degas, IMG
  (mono and colour) and AIM.  It saves in TIFF or IMG formats. On-line help is
  available within the program.  Printing is supported for HP Laserjet/Deskjet
  and Postscript printers only.  GIP runs in all resolutions on the  ST/E,  TT
  and Falcon.

  ART.4283C   FIXAGIF  - As its name suggests,  this program can  examine  and
  rectify any 'non standard' GIF file. It even checks for text info and multi-
  GIF  picture  files.  GTC74 - 'GIF,  TARGA and Co' - An  image  manipulation
  program.  You can resize,  rescale,  convert 24 bit to 8 bit and vice versa,
  there's  even a 'special' Photochrome-like display for viewing big  pictures
  in sections. SPC, SPU are also supported and its fairly economical on memory
  useage.  Thanks  to  Ralph Nelson-Tucker for  the  translation.  MINIDRAF  -
  Despite the name,  this is a fairly comprehensive drafting program with  all
  the basic requirements.  There's some excellent example files on disk to get
  you started too. SPRITE WORKS - A simple but very useful sprite designer for
  creating  frame  by  frame  sprites.   It  is  specifically  designed   with
  programmers in mind and help is given for including your saved work in  your
  own GFA or assembler programs.  It handles both 16 and 32 pixel wide sprites
  and  claims  to offer the ease GFA users the ease of use of  GFA,  with  the
  sprite control of STOS.

  ART.4330M   HAPPY  PAINT v1.2e by Alexander Gesin - A Shareware  mono  paint
  program  with  all the usual tools and a few extras thrown in.  One  of  its
  unique  features  is  the ability to load ASCII text for  titling  your  own
  pictures.  Happy Paint uses its own font format but a conversion program  is
  supplied  which adapts Signum fonts for use with the program.  A  number  of
  fonts  are supplied on disk,  ready for use.  File support is PIC  (32k  raw
  screen data),  PAK (it's own format NOT to be confused with PAC format)  and
  Degas PI3.  It also loads its own BLK and OBJ formats which are  essentially
  blocks of screen data and not to be confused with object oriented  graphics.
  Numerous pictures are also supplied. 9-pin Epson and 24-pin NEC printers are
  supported. An easy to use, yet powerful package which is highly recommended.
  Translated to English by Cliff Morrison for Floppyshop.  NOT TT  compatible,
  needs ST high res on the Falcon. Needs 1 Meg.

  ART.4331M  PAINTSHOP  + v2.03 by Thomas Much - Another  excellent  Shareware
  mono art package from Germany.  It loads files in Degas,  NEO, Art Director,
  IMG,  STAD,  Doodle and Atari Clipboard formats as well as its own and saves
  in  PIC format.  The usual tools and effects (like solarize) are present  as
  well  as 'bend' and 'cylinder'.  Pictures bigger than screen  are  loadable,
  although  they  will  be cropped.  An archiving facility  allows  up  to  30
  pictures  to  be  stored in a special archive  file.  These  may  be  loaded
  directly  into  Paintshop + or viewed from within the archive.  If  GDOS  is
  loaded,  the fonts specified in the ASSIGN.SYS file will be available within
  Paintshop +.  Signum fonts and its own font format (three supplied on  disk)
  are  also  supported.  The most important feature with regard  to  fonts  is
  support for Borland's BGI vector fonts which can be used at any size or  any
  angle. A 'GPL' editor is included which allows small programs to be run from
  within  Paintshop,  generating graphic images.  Up to three GPL's can be  in
  memory  at  any  time.  GFA  programmers can even  write  their  own  GPL's!
  Compatible  with the ST/E,  TT and Falcon.  Compatible  with  NVDI.  Printer
  support is included for 9-pin, 24-pin, HP Laserjet and Atari SLM printers. A
  comprehensive  and  well  thought  out  art  package.  Translated  by  Cliff
  Morrison.

  ART.4427   ANCIENT v1.0 by David Becker - Remember when mice  went  "squeak"
  and  computers  filled large rooms?  Recreate those days with  this  program
  which  converts  any Degas .PI3 picture into an  ASCII-art  text  file.  The
  different characters give the impression of light or dark "pixels".  Lots of
  fun options.  Try it, you won't be disappointed! High res only, works with a
  mono  emulator.  DEAGAVIEW/DEAGAPRINT  by  Andrew  Bowden  -  Two  Shareware
  programs  to view and print Degas files.  Runs in any  resolution,  but  the
  Degas  files  must  be uncompressed.  DMONO by Andrew Bowden  -  Similar  to
  Deagaview/Deagaprint,  but combined in one program. This version is high res
  only and only prints or displays PI3 pictures.  Works with a mono  emulator.
  ESCAD by Andreas Wilcek - A professional CAD/CAM package. There are a number
  of the more advanced features disabled in this Shareware version.  These are
  fully operational in the registered version. A converter program is included
  so  that  you can convert DFX files used by AutoCAD/AutoSketch (on  the  PC)
  into ESCAD format and vice versa. The docs are very technical and totally in
  German! MCPIC v1.3 by Andrew Bowden - Shareware program which lets you view,
  print  and  convert between Neochrome and Degas files.  You  can  also  view
  Spectrum 512-colour and Fullscreen overscan graphics.  MCVIEW v1.2 by Andrew
  Bowden - Similar to McPic.  You can view Neochrome,  Degas, Spectrum 512 and
  Overscan  pictures,  and  print them to a 9-pin or 24-pin  Epson  compatible
  printer.

  ART.4438   BRAINSTORM'S  FLI/FLC PLAYER - This program allows you  load  and
  play  an  FLI  or FLC animation file from  AutoDesk  Animator  and  AutoDesk
  Animator Pro from the PC. The program runs the animation in a GEM window and
  runs  in any resolution on the ST or Falcon,  colour reducing as  necessary.
  The program is fast and displays animations smoothly,  being more compatible
  than  any  other  FLI/FLC player available.  A  few  sample  animations  are
  included  on disk.  Please note that this program will also run on a TT  but
  only in TT low resolution.

  S-ART.4514,  S-ART.4515 & S-ART.4516  POV RAYTRACE V2.2 (ST & TT VERSION)  -
  This  is the long awaited followup to POV Raytrace.  Although raytracing  is
  always slow,  this version is much faster than its predecessor.  As with the
  original,  it is extensively documented and comes with source code and  some
  file conversion utilities.  New features include improved antialiasing, soft
  penumbral shadows for extended area lights,  simplified torus syntax,  three
  new  pigment textures and support for phong shading.  In  addition,  several
  hundred  scenes are supplied for you to render yourself.  These are  grouped
  depending  on  the ability of user they are aimed at.  Also included  are  a
  number of conversion programs which let you convert CAD3D2 files to POV, POV
  files into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from a TGA file.  There's
  also various utilities which let you create lissajous,  build helixes from a
  torus,  create spiral textures on spheres,  create b-splines from cones  and
  spheres, create xtal shapes and twisted objects.  For those of you who don't
  like  using CLI's,  we've included POVSHELL 1.5 by Dirk Klemms.  This  three
  disk set decompresses onto eight DS disks!

  ART.4542   CALC  3D  -  An accessory to convert Calamus  fonts  into  a  form
  suitable  for use with CAD3D.  CALC CYBER - This accessory converts  Calamus
  fonts for use with CyberSculpt.  MORPH - Yes morphing on the ST is possible!
  This  is  an interesting program which is capable of mapping points  on  one
  image onto another.  Load up the two supplied pictures (or use your own) and
  select how many in between frames are to be generated. The in between frames
  showing the first picture gradually transforming into the second,  are saved
  to disk.  These may then be combined into an animation using Cyber Paint  or
  Animtool on ART.72. XPX CONV - Converts XPM (X PixMap) files from Windows on
  the PC,  into NEO files and vice versa. RSFLIP11 - This is a real oddity! It
  is a computer version of the flip books you used to get as a child.  A  flip
  book animation is  produced on a 40 x 40 grid with faclities for  inverting,
  rotating moving and copying. A sample demo is supplied on disk. RSHADE30 - A
  raytracing program which is similar in concept to POV Raytrace, QRT Raytrace
  and DKB Raytrace. It reads a multiline ASCII file describing the scene to be
  rendered and produces a 'UTAH RASTER' image.  The primitives are box,  cone,
  cylinder  etc.  The  program handles 24 bit colour but  like  other  similar
  offerings,  a  scene takes hours to render.  PIXPRO II - Allows you to  make
  colour adjustments to medium res scans (as created by some hand scanners) so
  as to adjust the contrast, making them suitable for use as clip art.

  ART.4543   KEFTAL - Calculates the degradation of 16 million colours as  RGB
  composition of graphics defined as percentages and angles of degradation. If
  that  sounds  confusing,  put  simply,  this program allows  you  to  create
  keftale graphics (plasma-like effects) like those on the Amiga. Although the
  graphics  are  in colour,  Keftal itself requires a  minimum  resolution  of
  640x400 (on an ST this means high res or a graphics card). The end result is
  saved  out  as a Targa and can be converted into a  viewable  graphic  using
  PhotoChrome  on ART.3303C.  MULTI-VIEWER GRAPHICS by Dr Bob -  An  excellent
  program which allows you to view  IMG,  WAC,  MAC, PI3, PC3 and NEO pictures
  on  a  mono monitor or PI1 and PC1 in medium res.  Images  may  be  rotated,
  copied,  pasted  and  increased or decreased in size.  It has  good  printer
  support,  allowing you to alter the dpi setting to suit. It is also possible
  to edit your graphics and save them to disk.  Highly recommended. PSYCHO-S -
  A combination of sound,  script and psychedelic patterns in a slideshow. The
  manual  on disk gives full instructions for running the  demo.  Needless  to
  say,  users  can make their own slideshows.  The Midi music output  is  only
  operational on the registered version.

  ART.4635  ECLIPSE by P Hannington - An incredibly powerful image  processing
  package.  It loads images in RAW,  TGA,  IFF,  SPU, Degas, GIF, TIFF and BMP
  formats,  saving them in RAW,  TGA,  IFF, BMP and TIFF formats. The features
  include 24 different processing filters (including  sharpen,  blur,  emboss,
  smooth and laplace),  RGB colour adjustment,  gamma correction,  convert  to
  greyscale,  rotate image,  bend,  squeeze,  zigzag and mirror.  In addition,
  images  may  be mapped onto spheres,  pyramids or diamonds and  cutting  and
  pasting  of blocks between buffers is also supported.  Eclipse runs  in  any
  resolution on the ST/E, TT and Falcon. The special effects menu and the user
  guide are reserved for registered users.  Highly recommended.  FRACTGA v1.01
  by Phillipe LaFargue - Fractal generator using the Julia set. Saves graphics
  in  Targa format and at resolutions of up to 2048x2048 pixels.  Works  under
  MiNT and MultiTOS.  Includes versions to run on Falcon and with the FPU68881
  maths chip.  Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation.  SURF3D v3.1
  by  Yves  Ducourneau  &  Fabrice  Rodet  -  A  3D  graph  viewer.   Displays
  mathematical  functions  as an isometric wireframe graph in  a  GEM  window.
  Simple,  but  pretty and effective.  Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker  for  the
  translation.  LABO V7.5 - Allows you to convert images between  Degas,  NEO,
  Crack Art, TNY and PAL formats or view them on screen. Low res only.

  ART.4641   GENART  V1.0  by Ian Clarke -  A  random  pattern  generator.  It
  generates four random patterns and you choose which one you like. It is used
  as  the basis for the next four or drawn full screen size.  Patterns can  be
  merged or mutated and there's a couple of user settings which may be altered
  too.  NIM2ST  V1.2  by Denis McCarthy - Converts PCX files  created  on  the
  Nimbus version of PC Paintbrush into Degas format. Nimbus PCX files are non-
  standard  and  although  recognised as ordinary  PCX's  by  most  conversion
  utilities,  this is the only program known to convert them correctly. ST2NIM
  -  This  program converts Degas low res screens into  Nimbus  PCX  files.  A
  number of example Nimbus PCX files are included on disk. VIDEO MASTER DITHER
  by  Simon  Scott - Uses dithering to convert a 16 grey level  .VID  or  .FLM
  sequence  created  by  Video Master on the STE or Falcon so  that  it  looks
  almost as good on an ST(FM). An example VID file converted with this program
  is included on disk. SPRITEFX by Paul Passman - A programmer's utility which
  allows  you to import Degas or NEO pictures,  cut out the  relevant  sprites
  from  them and store them in a sprite bank.  The sprite bank can hold up  to
  100 sprites and these can be built up into sequences,  each containing up to
  100 frames.  Up to 100 sequences can be combined together to create  lengthy
  animations.  The sprites can range in size from 16x1 to 64x64 pixels in size
  and  the  program  allows  you  to define the  paths  which  you  want  your
  animations  to  follow.  The  end result can then be saved  out  in  binary,
  assembler or Basic data statements for incorporation into your own programs.
  The  program has a lengthy doc file and includes an on-line  help  facility.
  Please note that this is not a sprite designer. You will need an art package
  to create the initial graphics.

  ART.4642   MULTICAD  V1.30  by Jim Taylor - One  of  the  most  professional
  drafting packages on the market.  MultiCAD is suitable for a variety of uses
  including architecture,  chemistry, engineering and PCB design. Libraries of
  architectural,  electrical  and  mechanical  shapes are  included  with  the
  package as well as primitives of common shapes.  It makes use of a a massive
  32,768  x  32,768  pixel screen and allows you to zoom in  and  out  easily.
  What's  more,  the  entire drawing can be printed out in sections  ready  to
  paste together.  The program is capable of creating multi-layer drawings and
  will import and export CADja files.  This version restricts the size of your
  drawings to 5K and brings up nagging messages frequently.  Apart from  that,
  it's a complete implementation.  The registered version is available  direct
  from the author.

  ART.4673    SPEED  OF LIGHT V3.8 - One of the fastest GIF and  JPEG  viewers
  around.  It also supports Degas,  Prism Paint and (X)IMG formats.  Up to  20
  images can be loaded, subject to memory and the viewing of oversize pictures
  is  supported  via scrolling.  You can change resolution  with  SOL  without
  rebooting and various options are included for optimising the colour palette
  or  tweaking  the colour values.  Several colour  reduction  algorythms  are
  included  for  converting  an  image to a  resolution  with  fewer  colours.
  Intensity and contrast can also be altered to suit.  Scaling up and down and
  smoothing are also supported.  SOL can also display pictures in a  slideshow
  which may be customised using a powerful script language.  There are lots of
  features  associated with image processing but the most  valuable,  filtered
  image scaling (which allows you to enlarge an image and smooth it off to the
  same quality as the original), is reserved for registered users along with a
  few  other  odds  and  ends.  SOL  now  runs  in  any  resolution  including
  monochrome!  STOSSHOW  - A slideshow for displaying Degas and  NEO  pictures
  written  with  STOS Basic.  As well as showing the  pictures,  a  number  of
  different effects are used when displaying them.  In addition,  the pictures
  can be made memory resident so that you can run a slideshow in a shop window
  without having to worry about the disk getting stolen! Some example pictures
  and full source code are included on disk. STOSSHOW is STE ONLY.

  ART.4772   ARROW  24 V1.1 - An excellent GEM based modelling  and  raytacing
  package.  It  allows you to create your own 3D models on screen,  then  turn
  them  into 24-bit True Colour ray tracings.  Arrow 24 comes complete with  a
  number of 3D wireframe models and completed raytracings on disk.  A separate
  version  is supplied for users with a maths  coprocessor.  Documentation  is
  extensive but both the program and docs are in German.  Would anyone like to
  translate? Needs at least 1 Meg. Hard drive recommended but not essential.

  ART.4773C   MOVIE  MASTER  by  Soft Bits -  Originally  commercial  and  now
  released as Shareware, this package allows you to make your own 'movies from
  backdrops  of  your choice,  using sprites cut from your  own  pictures.  No
  knowlege  of  programming  is required in order to  use  Sprite  Master,  as
  everything is done using simple mouse clicks.  More advanced animations  can
  be  created  using sprite sequences imported from Soft Bits'  Sprite  Master
  Gold,  which  is  available  to  registered  users.  Unlike  most  animation
  programs,  Movie  Master even lets you add sound to  your  'films'.  Several
  example movies and sample graphics are included on disk.

  ART.4774C  STEREO IMAGE SYSTEM (STIS) v2.0 by Phillip O'Neal - Allows you to
  create  3D images from True Paint/Prism Paint pictures.  These can  then  be
  viewed  on your screen without special glasses.  The images take longer  for
  some  people  to see than others and it can be quite difficult to  focus  on
  your first picture correctly.  However, if you can successfully see one, the
  rest  will come naturally.  Several example images are included on disk  and
  print out is supported to Epson compatibles. STIS is no longer restricted to
  working with 16 colour pictures and runs on any ST,  STE, TT or Falcon. EASY
  POV  V1.6 by Christophe Cordonnier - A nice easy to use GEM based front  end
  for  POV  1 & POV 2.  Everything is set using the mouse  and  pop-up  menus.
  Thanks to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for the translation. IPF CREATOR AND VIEWER by
  Matthew  Hunter  -  IPF  format is essentially a  16  colour  conversion  of
  extended  Spectrum 512 (SPX) format.  The benefits are that you use up  less
  disk space and memory and the pictures are still very impressive.  A  number
  of example pictures along with full STOS source code is provided on disk.

  S-ART.4810C,  S-ART.4811C  &  S-ART.4812C   THE KOZMIC  COMPENDIUM  by  Dave
  Henniker - After a runaway success on the Shareware scene,  Dave has decided
  to  release  Kozmic  4 as Freeware.  This three disk  set  includes  a  full
  registered  version of Kozmic 4,  the complete STOS source to  the  program,
  companion program Zonk, the full manual on disk, over forty pictures created
  with  Kozmic  and  a specially patched version of the program  for  Mega  ST
  owners (the normal program doesn't run on their machines). For anyone who is
  unfamiliar  with this package,  Kozmic  is a psychedelic  pattern  generator
  with  full user control  over  the patterns generated.  As well as  creating
  the  patterns,  you can zoom,  mirror,  distort,  merge two  screens,  merge
  bitplanes  and much more.  Many of these are accompanied by equally  unusual
  sampled  sound  effects.  There's extensive palette control and a  built  in
  slideshow feature too.  This latest version has on-line help and if you have
  an  STE and more than 1 Meg of memory,  you'll get stereo sound  samples  as
  well  as the mono ones.  Kozmic's two main claims to fame are that  graphics
  created by it were used by the techno-rock group Tranceport on the cover  of
  their CD Tranceglobal and Kozmic graphics were used in a video by a  Belgian
  rock band which was shown on MTV!  Kozmic needs at least 1 Meg.

  S-ART.4810C,  S-ART.4811C AS ABOVE
  Contains disk one and two of the above for those who do not need the Mega ST
  patch or the STOS source code.

  ART.4930C  THE  SPRITES PORTFOLIO v2.0 by Eddie Bryan - This  disk  contains
  over 600 individual sprites for use in your own games.  The artwork is truly
  outstanding and on a par with that used in the top ST arcade games.  Screens
  are in Degas PI1 format so they can be used easily. This disk was previously
  part of the BUDGIE UK range.

  ART.4941C   SPRITE MASTER by Chris Skellern - A professional Sprite  editing
  program  which will output source code which can  be incorporated into  most
  programming languages. Sprite sizes can be user defined and stacked together
  to create multi sized output files.  The disk contains the editor program, a
  short demo game,  example sprites and a NEO to Sprite Master conversion kit.
  SPLASH  by Philip Bishop - An art package for young children (age 3 to  10).
  Being  icon driven,  it is extremely easy to use and condusive  to  artistic
  creativity. All the usual functions such as draw, line, fill, palette, disk,
  cycle,  etc.  are available. Ideal as an introduction to computer art. These
  programs were formerly BUDGIE UK titles.

  ART.4956M  DRAW V0.2β by Eero Tamminen - A monochrome drawing program  which
  supports the loading and saving of IMG, PI3, PC3, DOO and BLK files and uses
  GDOS  fonts if GDOS is loaded.  It has all the usual tools like  box,  line,
  circle,  polygon,  fill,  text,  spray  and zoom as well as a few new  ones.
  Mosaic   can  produce  interesting  effects!   The  bezier  curve  tool   is
  particularly well implemented.  A nice easy to use program, pity it wasn't a
  bit  better documented.  Larger than screen-size images are  supported  when
  using  a  virtual  screen driver such as Big Screen for  TOS  v1.0  and  1.2
  (included  on  disk) or MonSTEr for TOS v1.4  upwards  (on  UTL.317).  LASER
  DESIGN PRO V1.0 by Sacha Roth - A powerful offering from  Germany.  Supports
  PIC,  DOO,  PI3,  PAC,  IFF and other file formats. As well as all the usual
  drawing  tools,  LD  Pro supports rotating,  outlining and  cleaning  up  of
  images.  It has an extensive range of blocks tools which support  lightening
  and darkening,  mirroring,  outlining,  resizing, distorting, bending and so
  forth.  Text is supported by way of Signum fonts and numerous attributes may
  be applied to these.  Printing is supported to most types of mono  printers.
  LD  Pro is well worth adding to your collection.  Translated by  Tony  Kaye.
  LOOKER by Frederick Hawkins - Described as an image processing  program,  it
  is primarily concerned with the conversion of colour images to monochrome or
  greys  by use of dithering and half-toning,  both of which  allow  extensive
  user  control over their parameters.  You can lighten or darken  a  picture,
  negate it or access the colour values to alter the converted  image.  Looker
  loads  PI1,  PI3 and DTH formats and saves as PI3 and DTH.  Looker  is  well
  documented but entirely command driven,  therefore not really user friendly.
  POLYSTAR by David Fright - Originally designed to create multi-pointed stars
  for DTP work,  Polystar has evolved into a drawing program in its own right.
  It  offers  such  unusual  tools as star,  petals  and  spiral  as  well  as
  implementing  many  of the usual ones.  Polystar is a fun  program  to  use,
  offering several new features over those expected from this type of package.
  It loads and saves Degas format pictures.  ROTATION V1.0 by David Duberman -
  Allows  you to draw squares or polygons and rotate them in any increment  up
  to 180 degrees.  It was designed to get around the fixed 90 degree rotations
  offered by many object oriented drawing packages.  Rotation loads and  saves
  Degas format images.

  ART.5010C  PULSER by David Fright - A drawing package with a difference.  It
  allows  you  to  create the illusion of movement by  clever  use  of  colour
  cycling.  Although  this in itself is not a new concept,  what makes  Pulser
  unique  is that you can have colour cycling switched on whilst  drawing  and
  this  applies  not  only  to freehand drawing but  to  shapes  as  well.  In
  addition,  you can specify the direction and speed of the cycling.  A number
  of standard tools such as freehand,  circle,  box,  lines and rays are  also
  included. Pulser allows you to load and save Degas images as well as its own
  format (which stores all the colour cycling info).  Several example pictures
  are supplied on disk.  ROTATION V1.0 by David Duberman - Allows you to  draw
  squares or polygons and rotate them in any increment up to 180  degrees.  It
  was  designed  to get around the fixed 90 degree rotations offered  by  many
  object  oriented  drawing packages.  Rotation loads and saves  Degas  format
  images.  SHOWTIME  by  Tony Greenwood - A slideshow with  a  difference.  It
  displays all pictures in overscan mode (i.e.  no borders).  The program will
  display  all PI1 and NEO files in the root directory of any specified  drive
  and you can select the wait time between the loading of each picture.

  ART.5011C   NEO_PAT1 by Lou Trapani - A collection of patterns suitable  for
  use  to  create  a  Desktop backdrop for  NEODesk  4,  Deskpic  and  similar
  programs. Some are in 256 colours and others in True Colour format. POLYSTAR
  by David Fright - Originally designed to create multi-pointed stars for  DTP
  work,  Polystar  has  evolved into a drawing program in its  own  right.  It
  offers such unusual tools as star, petals and spiral as well as implementing
  many of the usual ones.  Polystar is a fun program to use,  offering several
  new  features over those expected from this type of package.  It  loads  and
  saves  Degas format pictures.  SPECTRA by Andrew Sage - An image  processing
  program.  It allows you to load up a RAW,  TGA or POV RAW 24-bit True Colour
  picture and display it using 64 greyscales on an STE or 32 on an  STFM.  You
  can then lighten, darken, dither, enlarge, reduce or negate your picture. In
  addition,  you can also carry out individual pixel editing in zoom mode. All
  processes  may  be applied to the entire picture or to user  defined  areas.
  What's  more,  although  the  picture has been colour  reduced  for  display
  purposes,  the  'real' picture in memory has not.  This means that you  save
  back a True Colour image rather than a greyscale one!  Edited RAWs and  TGAs
  not  exceeding 320x200 in size may be viewed in colour using Photochrome  on
  ART.3303C.  SPECSHOW  v1.10 by Neil Halliday - A small program which can  be
  called  up by STOS Basic in order to let you display Spectrum  512  pictures
  (in full colour) within your own STOS Basic programs. Instructions are given
  and a sample .BAS file and SPC picture is also included.

  ART.5057M   IMAGELAB  2.1 by Rainer Frädrich - A  Freeware  greyscale  image
  processing  package  with  a few nice  touches.  Features  include  scaling,
  contrast/brightness adjust,  linear distribution, equal distribution, median
  filter,  dilation,  erosion, edge enhancement and the ability to display any
  of  an image's 8 bitplanes.  An invaluable feature is the ability to  design
  your  own  filters and over 20 of these are supplied on disk.  A  number  of
  greyscale adjustment filters are also supplied. Blocks may be cut and pasted
  between  images  and  two  images can be  merged  together  to  create  some
  interesting  effects.  The ability to convert mono IMGs into true  greyscale
  images is most helpful for those of you who do not have greyscale  scanners.
  Imagelab  is  restricted  to  loading its own  B_W  format,  AIM  format  or
  uncompressed IFFs but external conversion utilities allow GIF,  TIFF,  Degas
  and IMG format to be converted to B_W and vice versa.  Although the  program
  runs in mono, all work is actually performed in 256 greyscale mode. Use GEM-
  View 3 (ART.3485) to convert B_W to more useful formats.   Fully GEMmed  and
  Multi-TOS compatible.  Can be used with the Sebra mono emulator. Program and
  short introduction in English but main docs in German, although we have done
  a rough translation. Needs at least 1 Meg.

  ART.5111M   EC PAINT V1.01 by Eines Computing - Just when you  thought  that
  PAD  could not be beaten,  along comes a worthy challenger.  EC Paint  hails
  from Norway and has a host of features not normally associated with mono art
  packages,  the ability to load colour pictures being just one. In this case,
  you  are  given  extensive  (but easy to use)  control  over  the  dithering
  process.  It loads IMG,  PCX,  TIF,  IFF, CRG, BMP, MSP, MAC, PAC, DOO, GEM,
  EPS, NEO, TN?, PI? & PC? formats and saves back using about a dozen of those
  formats. EC Paint easily accommodates images larger than the physical screen
  area.  You  can use Calamus,  GEM or system fonts for text  input,  although
  Calamus  fonts give best results.  As well as the usual  line,  point,  box,
  circle,  polygon,  airbrush, mirror and magnify tools, you can create circle
  segments,  3D  wireframe  boxes,  3D  wireframe  polygons,  ellipses,  arcs,
  elliptical arcs, parallelograms, bezier curves and b-spline curves. A number
  of different fills are supplied or you can design your own with the built-in
  fill designer.  Block handling is extensive with the ability to  cut,  bend,
  skew,  rotate,  twist,  lighten,  darken  and  distort.  User  settings  are
  available  for the spray can,  orientation of shapes,  gradient fills  (very
  powerful),  shadow and much more. Printout is supported to 9-pin, 24-pin and
  HP  Desk/Laserjet  printers  with the option to  print  thumbnails  of  your
  pictures.  Needs 1 Meg. An incredible quality Shareware release. PABLO PAINT
  V2.5  by Claude Boulanger - Another really tasty mono offering but this  one
  has colour versions available to registered users. Pablo loads PIC, ART, NEO
  and  Degas formats as well as its own PK3 and PA3.  The True Colour  version
  for Falcon owners loads around 40 file types and saves about 20!  There  are
  over 150 icons on screen representing tools and other useful functions. Most
  (but not all) are functional in this Shareware version.  As well as all  the
  usual tools, you can map any texture onto a selected shape, convert pictures
  from colour to mono,  convert to greyscale and work on pictures as large  as
  1800x1800  pixels.  Up to 53 screens are supported subject to memory and  12
  screens may be viewed at once in miniature.  Other unique features include a
  built-in perspective system,  23 different block  transformations,  built-in
  screen saver,  masking,  libraries of commonly used systems, special cartoon
  effects and much more. This is no ordinary art package! The version supplied
  is complete but all save operations are disabled until you register with the
  author. Needs 1 Meg.

  ART.5112   DL VIEWER V0.01B by Lonny Pursell - Plays DL animations from  the
  PC.  These  are  commonly  found on CD-ROMs,  so you'll  find  this  program
  invaluable if you own one of those 'beasties'.  They will be played back  in
  greyscale  mode unless you have a TT,  Falcon or a graphics card,  in  which
  case  you  can view them in 256 colours.  Colour only.  AVI_PLAY  by  Dieter
  Fiebelkorn - A collection of programs designed to play those AVI  animations
  commonly  found  on PC CD-ROMs.  There are optimised versions for  the  '020
  upwards  and  machines  with an FPU.  Mono or  colour.  RIFFSHOW  by  Dieter
  Fiebelkorn  -  Displays information on RIFF  animation  files.  AVI2WAVE  by
  Dieter  Fiebelkorn  -  Converts the sound data in AVI  animations  into  WAV
  format which can then be loaded into WAVE PLAYER (MUS.4376).  MC FLY V0.7 by
  John  McLeod - Plays FLI or FLC animations in a GEM window on an ST/E or  TT
  with a graphic card running in 256 colours. QUICKTIME PLAYER V0.96 by Dieter
  Fiebelkorn - Lets you view Quicktime movies (MOV files) on your ST/E.  These
  files  are typically found on PC and MAC CD's.  This version of  the  player
  only  supports CVID 24 bit and does not play the sound,  but it's  a  start!
  Optimised versions for 020+ processors and FPU's are also included.  Mono or
  colour.  SQUIRL  by  Tim  Chapman - A  light  synthesiser/pattern  generator
  program  similar  in  many ways to  Jeff  Minter's  Trip-A-Tron  (ART.3487).
  Patterns are generated by mouse movement but the emphasis is less reliant on
  the  actual  movement and more so on the way the mouse  is  moved.  Dim  the
  lights  and  play around with this one.  You'll be amazed with some  of  the
  results  you  get.  You can even try running it with a screen  magnifier  or
  mouse  speeder program installed and watch how the display  changes.  Colour
  only.  TIMMY'S  TREE DESIGNER by Tim Chapman - A fun program to play  around
  with when you need to relax. Simply set the twig, branch and trunk sizes for
  the  tree along with a few other user definable parameters,  then grow  your
  own  tree!  A number of example script files are supplied which will  enable
  you to create 16 different 'types' of tree with ease.  Your masterpieces may
  be saved out as script files or in PI3 format.  A number of example pictures
  created  by  the  author  are supplied in ZIP format (you  need  ST  Zip  on
  UTL.3093 to decompress them). Timmy's Tree Designer is Mono only.

  ART.5110  FLM PLAY - Allows you to play FLM animations (commonly found on PC
  CD ROMs) on any ST,  STE or TT. IMCON V1.1 by Christoph Pfisterer - Converts
  pictures between many graphic formats including DOO,  PIC,  P?1,  P?2,  P?3,
  NEO,  PAC, TN?, ART, SPC, SPU, IM, IMG, IFF, PCX, GIF & TIF. You can enlarge
  or reduce the size of pictures, enlarge the screen area but retain the image
  size,  convert  between True Colour,  Greyscale and palette  based  formats,
  invert  the picture,  switch on or off dithering and so on.  Images  can  be
  resaved in IMG,  TIFF, IFF or raw screendump formats. What makes IMCON score
  over  more fully featured packages like GEM-View is its ability to load  the
  picture  into  memory rather than display it on screen,  thus  avoiding  the
  problems  of colour reduction in lower resolutions.  Having said  that,  you
  can display the image on screen if you want.  IMCON runs on any Atari and is
  compatible with most graphic cards.  POV-MOV V2.86 by Georges Gomes - A  GEM
  based  shell for use with POV Raytrace.  What makes this shell different  is
  that it can be set to render several scripts,  one after the other,  and  it
  can also generate animations from POV scripts.  You enter the parameters for
  the animation and the program generates the appropriate scripts for the  in-
  between frames.  Lots of options (some only available when you register)  to
  make life easier for anyone who uses POV Raytrace.  Thanks to Ralph  Nelson-
  Tucker  for the translation.  Mono ONLY,  needs 1 Meg.  PIXKROME - An  image
  processing package written in STOS!  You can load pictures in Spectrum  512,
  RAW (QRT Raytrace), Degas, NEO, NeoChrome Master, Canvas, Art Director, IFF,
  IMG  and  TNY formats amongst others or digitise into the  program  directly
  using Vidi ST.  Special effects include mosaic,  inverse, shatter, sinewave,
  tanwave,  flip  and  mirror.  The colour intensities of RAW  images  can  be
  adjusted  for  the different red,  green and blue components.  A  number  of
  filters such as min,  max, mean, median and blur are also included. Although
  True Colour pictures are worked in in their their separate RGB parts,  there
  is a preview mode which gives you an idea of what the adjusted picture  will
  look  like.  Your  completed  masterpiece  will  have  to  be  viewed  using
  Photochrome or Raw2Spec.  Needs 1 Meg,  Colour ONLY.  VIRTUAL SCREEN  (X)IMG
  VIEWER  V1.3  - Eero Tamminen - Allows you to view any IMG or  XIMG  picture
  quickly and easily.  It can even be installed as an application for  viewing
  IMGs.  Colour  IMGs  with more colours than the  current  screen  resolution
  supports,  will be displayed as monochrome. XIMGSNAP - A program by the same
  author,  which lets you save any section of the Desktop to disk.  Can be run
  as a PRG or ACC.

  ART.5184  SCAN-IT by Trade-It - Formerly a commercial release,  this package
  is now available as Shareware. The software as supplied loads, GIF, IMG, ESM
  and PAC file formats and saves as ESM or IMG.  It features a number of block
  manipulation and filtering processes (some are disabled in this version) and
  allows  you to convert True Colour pictures to Greyscales or  Greyscales  to
  monochrome.  This is of course just a taster of Scan-It's real power,  which
  lies  in its ability to scan images.  Registered users get  the  appropriate
  scanner driver for their make of scanner. Scan-It runs in any resolution and
  is fully compatible with graphic cards.  Unfortunately both program and docs
  are in German, but we've done a RUF translation of the docs. MUNCH V1.1 - An
  impressive  monochrome graphics package.  As well as all the  usual  drawing
  tools,  there's the following tools:- star/multigon,  parallelogram, smudge,
  multi-bezier,  rubber ellipse, gradient, bend and lasso, to name just a few.
  Munch  also  allows you to work on pictures larger than the screen  and  has
  lots  of  special effects (registered users get a program  to  create  their
  own).  You can load images in Degas,  NEO, IMG, MAC, PAC and TN3 formats and
  save as IMG,  TIFF,  PAC,  PI3 and more.  You can even save pictures in  PRG
  format  so that they can be double-clicked and displayed from  the  Desktop.
  There  are lots of user definable parameters which affect the way the  tools
  work.  Munch is fully compatible with (Speedo)GDOS and can make use of  GDOS
  fonts. Programmers will be pleased to hear that your picture can be exported
  in GFA,  C or assembler code or as an icon for use in RSC files. We have not
  even scratched the surface of Munch,  it has more unique features than Heinz
  has varieties! Very highly recommended. Needs 1 Meg, MONO ONLY.

  ART.5276  PICFIB V1.1a - A slideshow program with a few differences.  Picfib
  currently supports the viewing of IMG,  Degas,  PCX and GIF images. Lists of
  images  can be created and individual pictures assigned 'tags'.  These  tags
  are  then  used as basis of searches so that only files in  the  list  which
  match any chosen tag or tags,  will be displayed.  Picfib runs on any  Atari
  but pictures with less colours than the current resolution will look  pretty
  awful!  If  you've got lots of pictures (especially clip art) on  your  hard
  drive,  this  may well be just what you need to get them into some  sort  of
  logical  order.  THE FRACTAL ENGINE v2.1 by Daniel Grace & Mike Harris -  So
  you thought fractals were slow and boring,  you obviously haven't seen  FE2!
  This  is  a  major update of the program on  ART.3647C.  Supports  all  sets
  including  'Barnsley'  and saves zoomed animations in small or  full  screen
  format with it's own animation player.  Also,  you can save palettes and co-
  ordinates  etc.  This  is probably the most comprehensive  fractal  creation
  program  around,  supporting eleven different complex planar fractal  types.
  Fractal  popcorn,  mountains  and  plasma clouds are new for v2  as  are  3D
  fractal landscapes (created using spherical mapping or landscape rendering),
  and images may be overlayed on top of each other.  Whether your interest  is
  in fractal geometry or artistic creation,  static creations or 3D ray traced
  animations,  Fractal Engine 2 takes a lot of beating!  Very well  documented
  (over  75K of easy to read docs) with plenty of example files.  FE2 runs  in
  low res only, Picfib runs in any res except True Colour.

  S-ART.5458  & S-ART.5459  POVSTUFF VOLUME 1 - A collection of 25  very  high
  quality raytracing scripts for you to render yourself using POV Raytrace  v2
  (S-ART.4514,  S-ART.4515  & S-ART.4516).  These have been collected  from  a
  number  of sources and cover a wide variety of subject  matter.  Scenes  are
  BUG4,  CAM1,  COBRA,  DISP2,  DISPLAY,  EN, ENTERPR2, ENTERPRS, FILM, FLAME,
  GAP1, H2O, HAVESEAT, LIONFISH, NIGHTSKY, OBJ1, OBJ3, ONGARD, PAWN, PICFRAME,
  SHNY_POV,  SWORD,  WINDOW,  WORLD2,  XWING.  Most can be rendered on a 1  Mb
  machine  but some will need more,  one in particular requires 4  Mb!  Please
  note that these disks are of no use to you unless you already have a copy of
  POV Raytrace v2.  Requires a hard drive.

  ART.5471M   MPEG FEVER V1.0 by Laurent Chaussy - A collection  of  utilities
  for  analysing  and creating MPEG animations,  all held together in  a  nice
  friendly GEM based shell. MPEG is the animator's equivalent of JPEG. It is a
  lossy  compression method but first generation MPEGs are usually of  a  high
  enough quality to deceive the human eye into thinking that they are the same
  as  the original.  The loss in quality is offset by the fact that files  are
  typically  compressed  to around 10% or less of their  original  size.  MPEG
  Fever  allows  you  to  create your own MPEGs from  a  set  of  sequentially
  numbered  TGA  files  (other more obscure formats  are  also  supported)  or
  extract the individual frames from an existing MPEG animation.  You can also
  extract specified sections of the animation to its own MPEG file or join two
  animations together.  A large amount of analysis of MPEGs is also  supported
  for the technically minded.  All other functions are fully  operational.  In
  order to fit everything on the disk, this version contains the 68000 version
  of MPEG Fever only.  If you have a TT or Falcon, order F.5470 instead. Needs
  at least 1 Mb,  more for processing large files.  Needs to be run in ST high
  resolution  or  better.  Although you can work on MPEG files  in  mono,  you
  cannot view the animations on an ST unless you have a graphics card.  Thanks
  to Ralph Nelson-Tucker for translating everything into English.

  S-ART.5570  &  S-ART.5571   ATARI SIRDS by Christian Perle  -  Single  Image
  Random  Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) are those 3D pictures that nobody  can  ever
  focus in on! This two disk set comprises of several GFA Basic programs which
  let you create your own from any standard uncompressed TGA image. The output
  files  from POV Raytrace are ideal for the purpose and several  example  POV
  scripts  are  included  along with a handful  of  pre-rendered  images.  Two
  versions of the program are included,  one for making monochrome SIRDS,  the
  other  for  creating  True Colour ones.  The colour program  allows  you  to
  specify  the number of colours to be used,  but output is always  in  24-bit
  True  Colour,  so you'll need to use GEM-View to reduce it to the number  of
  colours you specified in the program. Similar to SIRDS are SIS (Single Image
  Stereograms  where  the dot patterns are fixed rather than random)  and  the
  author  has included a program for making these too,  as well as an  example
  SIS image.  This is an excellent package for anyone wanting to create  their
  own  stereograms.  Needs GFA Basic v3.xx (not included) and 1 Mb  (more  for
  larger images).

  ART.5625   ESCPEMU - A number of packages give you a print to  disk  option.
  This  GEM-View  module allows you to view a file intended  for  printing  on
  Epson 9-pin printers. The file can also be output to a different printer via
  GEM-View's printer drivers.  Needs GEM-View on ART.3485.  HPCDTOPPM V0.50 by
  Hadmut  Danisch  - Converts Kodak PCD files (at their  various  resolutions)
  into  Portable  PixMap (PPM) format  or  PostScript/Encapsulated  PostScript
  formats.  Convert  the PPM output to something more useful  using  GEM-View.
  Several user definable settings can be used in the conversion  process.  3D2
  TO   POV   V1.2  by  Jochen  Knauss  -  Another   program   which   converts
  Cybersculpt/CAD  3D2  files into POV Raytrace v1 or v2  format.  Includes  C
  source.  GIF2FLI  by Laurent Chaussy - Allows you to specify a list  of  GIF
  images to be joined together in a continuous animation in FLI or FLC format.
  There  are  lots of other options such as the  speed  of  animation,  colour
  mapping  options  if  more than one palette  is  used  (FLI  only),  double-
  buffering support and positioning of animation on screen. JML SNAP v5.21 - A
  Shareware  snapshot utility which can be run as an ACC or PRG (under  Multi-
  TOS). JML SNAP lets you save the entire screen or the contents of any window
  (including or excluding the scrollbars etc) as a snapshot.  You can also use
  the rubber banding method. Pressing ALT+Help (registered version) allows you
  to  grab a screen (not necessarily from a GEM program) and save it  directly
  to  disk.  Images are normally saved in (X)IMG,  IFF or  TIFF  format.  This
  version is  limited in the fact that it only saves  in IMG format,  does not
  include  the  ALT+Help option and doesn't run in True  Colour.  Register  to
  remove  these restrictions.  Program in English and German.  DEPICT by  Rana
  Dutt  - Converts degas PI3 files into MacPaint's PICT format.  EZGEM by  Don
  Rice  - Converts GEM Metafiles produced by Uniterm (when using GDOS) into  a
  format  which  can  be used in EasyDraw.  Probably  works  for  *.GEM  files
  produced  by other packages too.  APEXTGA - The only one of the  Apex  Media
  file  viewers  to  work on non-Falcon machines.  It allows  you  to  display
  16/24/32 bit uncompressed TGAs using 4096 colour on an ST and 32768  colours
  on an STE.  Can be installed as viewer for *.TGA files so that you can  just
  double-click the image from the Desktop to load the viewer.  FLI PLAYER V2.5
  by  Kai  Bode  - Plays AutoDesk Animator FLI animations  in  resolutions  of
  640x480 or higher (ST high res or TT/Falcon modes). Docs in German but we've
  done a RUF translation. GIFSPC - Converts GIF images into Spectrum 512's SPC
  format  ready  for use within that package.  IMG2PS V0.20 by T  M  Walter  -
  Converts  a  monochrome IMG to Encapsulated PostScript  format.  Includes  C
  source.  X-IMG  SNAPSHOT v1.43df by S Becker & D Sabiwalski - An  ACC  based
  screen  grabber.  Rather  than snapshot the entire screen,  you  can  either
  rubberband  the  required area for saving or select the top window  so  that
  only  the  top windows contents (excl.  GEM slider bars) are saved  to  disk
  (useful for grabbing screenshots for reviews or product  manuals).  GIFTOFLM
  V0.50 - Allows you to patch a number of GIF files together to create an  FLM
  animation.  You  can select individual files or a RUN script  created  using
  Prism Paint.  The resulting animation (as long as it is in low res) will  be
  viewable  either  by loading into Prism Paint v1.0 to 1.5 or  Lexicor's  FLM
  viewer.

  ART.5671C  THE DEGASART PRESENTATION by Keith Markland and David Peppiate  -
  A  taster from Floppyshop's DegasArt graphics tutorial.  This disk  contains
  over  40  impressive hand drawn images by the above named  graphic  artists.
  Some  are  from the DegasArt package itself,  others have  never  been  seen
  before.  Nicely  presented  in a slideshow with an  accompanying  text  file
  giving  some background on each image.  Don't misunderstand,  this is not  a
  tutorial  disk,  you'll have to buy the full three disk set (available  from
  Floppyshop) for that.  Instead it's a collection of superb original  artwork
  with a smattering of hints and tips for the budding computer artist.

  ART.5827C   BITMAP  VIEW  4 v2.0c by Racème Productions  -  A  file  viewer,
  converter  and  slideshow  program  which runs  in  almost  any  resolution.
  Conversions can be performed blind in order to preserve colour depth or  you
  can  have  the  image colour reduced (where necessary)  to  display  in  the
  current mode. Some new features include real-time zooming, slideshow option,
  fullscreen display option and mosaic mode which lets you display all  loaded
  pictures  on  screen  at once.  New to v4 is  support  for  Parx  Software's
  external  modules  (ART.5895) which allow scanners and digitisers  to  input
  directly  into  BV4.  BV4  is Shareware and several  extras  including  JPEG
  support  are  reserved  for registered  users.  Extensive  on-line  Help  is
  included.  Multi-TOS/MagiC  compatible.  Please  note that  Bitmap  View  is
  modular so you'll need two floppies or a hard drive, otherwise you'll need a
  copy of the modules on your picture disk.  Needs 1 Mb and Parx's M&E modules
  on  ART.5895.  DIAPO  by Frederic Bayle - Converts an  entire  directory  of
  images  into thumbnails (miniatures) on a single page at the current  screen
  resolution,  colour reducing as necessary.  There are various dithering  and
  palette  options,  an optional 3D look,  adjustable image  size,  adjustable
  spacing between images and much more.  Ideal for cataloguing your collection
  of graphics. This Shareware version does not allow different image sizes and
  Save is disabled.  Register with the author for the full version.  Needs the
  Parx  M&E  modules.  GIF  TRANS V0.1B by Daniel Fischer -  Lets  you  create
  'transparent' GIFs for use in your HTML documents.  Select which of the  256
  colours  is to be treated as transparent and the file will be re-saved  with
  the  transparency  set  accordingly.  JPEGDEMO.RIM by Eric Cunha  -  A  demo
  version  of  an M&E JPEG loader module for use on STs and  TTs.  Works  with
  Bitmap View.  GIFCOLOUR & GIFSCALE by Robert Barnhardt & Robert Steger - Two
  very compact GIF viewers.  They take a standard GIF,  colour reduce it to 16
  colours  (or  greyscales),  then  let you pan around the  image  on  a  huge
  'virtual'  screen.  Both programs can be installed as Applications from  the
  GEM  Desktop (lets you double-click GIFs to view them).  JPG68000 by  Andrew
  Younger - A CPX for use with XControl (UTL.3879) which allows you to convert
  GIF, TGA or PPM images into JPEG format or vice versa using various options.

  ART.5895   M&E MODULES (24/11/97) by  Parx -  An  impressive  collection  of
  graphics  based modules created by Parx,  a French company responsible for a
  number of Atari based products. These must be installed prior to use and are
  common to  all  applications (eg;  BV4,  Piccolo, D2M, Diapo etc), using M&E
  modules, so you need only  have one set of modules installed on your system.
  They  handle graphic cards, memory management, intelligent colour reduction,
  generation of textures, support for GDOS/NVDI printing, the loading  of over
  40  and saving  of over 30 different file types (all common Atari formats as
  well as Photo CD, TIFF, GIF etc) and digitising directly into any supporting
  program  using  Vidi ST and others.  There's even a module  which  lets  you
  output  photographic quality images to the Fargo FotoFun.  M&E modules  (and
  programs which use them) are most usable if you have two floppy drives or  a
  hard drive.  It will not be possible to install all the modules on this disk
  onto  a  single  drive (there's simply not  enough  space!).  This  disk  is
  necessary  if  you intend to use BV4 or Diapo and desirable if you  use  any
  other  M&E based product as it contains a more complete set of modules  than
  most software producers package with their goods.

  S-ART.5908,  S-ART.5909  &  S-ART.5910 & S-ART.5911  PERSISTENCE  OF  VISION
  RAYTRACER V3.00 - A reliable stable followup to POV 2.2 has finally  arrived
  on the Atari thanks to Doug Little's porting of the PC sources.  This latest
  version  is  downwardly  compatible  with POV 2.2 but  with  dozens  of  new
  features and bug fixes.  Amongst the new features is the ability to render a
  screen  preview when running on a Falcon.  Another major improvement is  the
  incorporation  of the faster routines from FTPOV.  Like v2.2,  this  version
  features  hundreds  of  scenes  for you  to  render  yourself,  all  grouped
  according to your level of experience. The on-disk manual's huge, running to
  over 800K and is very well written,  starting out with an easy to understand
  introduction to ray tracing,  then moving progressively to the more advanced
  stuff.  It also includes several detailed tutorials,  all aimed at different
  ability levels.  All support files for these tutorials are also included  in
  the package.  In addition there are a few Atari specific files detailing the
  Atari specific features of POV 3.  You can run POV 3 from a CLI or from Dirk
  Klemmt's POVShell which has been included for your convenience. We have also
  included Dirk Klemmt's POV Tools which let you convert CAD3D2 files to  POV,
  POV  files  into GIF or FLI format or create a POV scene from  a  TGA  file.
  There's also various utilities which let you create lissajous, build helixes
  from a torus, create spiral textures on spheres, create b-splines from cones
  and spheres,  create xtal shapes and twisted objects.  Please note that this
  package does not include the source code.  There's over 6 Mb of data crammed
  onto  these  disks!  Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive (if you don't have  a  hard
  drive,  we  recommend  the  POV 2 package on  S-ART.4514,  S-ART.4515  &  S-
  ART.4516). This is the 68000 (i.e. ST) and 68000 + FPU (an optional extra in
  the  Mega ST/Mega STE) version.  Versions for 68030/040 processors are  also
  available (in the Falcon catalogue).

  ART.5986  PICCOLO V1.00 by Frederic Bayle - A cut down version of Parx's D2M
  which  is designed to demonstrate the use of their M&E  modular  system.  It
  lacks  a decent set of tools but does load and save in a variety of  formats
  using the Parx M&E modules.  A small selection of these modules are supplied
  and  a fuller distribution version of them is available on  ART.5895.  Using
  the  M&E modules you can input images directly from Vidi-ST,  select from  a
  variety  of  colour  reduction methods to obtain  best  results,  and  apply
  various  effects to your images.  With the full version of the M&E  modules,
  the functionality of this package is further extended.

  ART.5987  EB MODEL V2.75A by Emmanuel Baranger - A universal 3D modeller for
  use with several different raytracing packages. It imports scripts from POV,
  CLOE  and  3D Studio (on the PC).  The ability to export files  in  anything
  other than EB-Model's own format is reserved for registered users.  EB-Model
  simplifies  the  process of setting up cameras and lighting for  your  scene
  with the use of movable objects in a GEM window rather than the hit or  miss
  approach  of  entering  the data by hand  into  script  files.  The  program
  includes precalculated objects (segments,  boxes,  prisms,  tubes,  spheres,
  pyramids, cones and more) and there's a library feature which lets you store
  copies  of your own objects for use in other scenes.  You can even spin  and
  extrude shapes and create fractal landscapes. Your creation can of course be
  viewed from different elevations.  The program uses the 'modern face of GEM'
  with colour icons,  movable windows,  3D interface and so forth (all subject
  to which machine it's running on).  It is compatible with all Atari machines
  and  multi-tasking friendly.  Unfortunately the docs are entirely in  French
  although the program is in English. Needs 2 Mb and a hard drive.

  ART.6006   3DP by Rudelli Paolo - Allows you to quickly an easily create  3D
  models for use with POV Raytracer v2.  You can adjust the viewing angle  and
  the position of the camera to suit.  The resultant image is displayed in its
  own window as a wireframe graphic and can be saved as an object or output as
  a POV script file ready to be cut and pasted into your main script.  Several
  example objects are supplied as well as POV scripts of these. Easy to use if
  you know the basics of raytracing but unfortunately the program and all docs
  are in French. 3D OBJECT COLORIZER V2.0 by J Stanford - allows you to colour
  individual faces on a CAD 3D v2 wireframe object. Objects may be viewed from
  any camera angle as solid objects and changing the colour of any face on the
  object requires no more than a simple mouse click.  Your final creation  can
  be resaved in 3D2 format.

    ART.6007   CYBER  SCULPT  EXTRUDE AUTO-TRACER by J Stanford  -  Converts  an
  uncompressed Degas image into an extrude template file which is then  loaded
  into  CyberSculpt to create 3D objects.  Works better with some images  than
  others but it does offer a simple solution to the problem with virtually  no
  user intervention.  GEM2PS V6.1 - Converts GEM Metafiles into PostScript  or
  EPS format for output to PostScript devices. It is also possible to view the
  structure  of  the GEM file and to specify positioning on the page  for  the
  printing  of its PostScript counterpart.  Text can also be used but you  are
  restricted  to  using the Helvetica font.  MEGA-BIT V1.1D by Thomas  Much  -
  Converts GEM Metafiles into bitmapped files at resolutions of up to 32766  x
  32744 pixels.  They can be saved in IMG,  TIF or PCX formats or as  multiple
  PI3,  PIC,  PAC  or GFA Block screens.  BORDURE by Denis Miguel - Creates  a
  border  (within the image's original boundaries) of the size and colour  you
  specify  around any 8-bit or 24-bit (Type 2 or 3) TGA image.  You  can  even
  allow  the image to gradually fade into the border and specify settings  for
  this too!  Docs in French but easy to figure out.  REDUCE TGA V2.0 by  Denis
  Miguel  -  Lets you resize any 24-bit or 8-bit (Type 2 or 3)  TGA  image  by
  typing  in a percentage (for each axis) or the exact dimensions (in  pixels)
  required.  Once again French but obvious.  ROTATE TGA V1.0 by Denis Miguel -
  Rotates  an  8-bit  or 24-bit (Type 2 or 3) TGA by  a  specified  number  of
  degrees.  The  image's  size  is increased to  avoid  cropping.  It  can  be
  displayed on a black background or using a tiled effect with multiple copies
  of  the image being used as the background to give a 3D effect.  Once  again
  French  but  obvious.  All  Denis Miguel's TGA utilities  work  blind  (i.e.
  without displaying the image) so they can be run from any resolution without
  affecting the image quality. XCOPY POV V0.9 by Fabrice Grainger - Allows you
  to  make  copies  of  objects created for use  with  Persistence  Of  Vision
  Raytracer v2. Includes very detailed instructions but unfortunately they are
  in French.

  ART.6089C   ANONYMOUS  GIF ANIMATION TOOL (AGATE) V1.2 -  A  useful  program
  which  takes a 256 colour FLC file and converts it to an GIF  animation  for
  use on the WWW.  It attempts to save only the animated area rather than  the
  full 640x480 screen.  Lots of option allow transparency, interlace and other
  attributes to be specified.  DEMO_RWI - A collection of demo modules for use
  with  packages which support Parx Software's M&E modules  (BV4,  Picolo  and
  others).  The full versions of these modules are commercially available from
  Parx.  They  include printer drivers for the Canon BJC-4000 and  BJC-70,  HP
  Deskjet  500C  and 550C,  Epson Stylus Colour,  and import modules  for  the
  Paragon Mustek M1200D3P,  M600D3P, M600DSP, M600S2D flatbed scanners and the
  Vidi  ST digitiser in 256 colours or True Colour (Falcon  only).  Just  drop
  them  into the appropriate folders inside your PARX.SYS folder and they  are
  ready for use.  IFX_MATR by Eric Da Cunha - Two new special effects  modules
  for use with packages which support Parx Software's M&E modules.  These  are
  demo versions which perform convolutions (on True Colour images) based on  a
  3x3 matrix.  Being demos,  you cannot save the resulting images. One version
  is  for  use  on the Falcon,  the other runs on  any  Atari.  Full  versions
  available  directly from the author.  Unfortunately all the M&E software  on
  this disk is documented in French.

  ART.6092   EUREKA  V2.12  by  Francois le  Coat  -  A  combined  statistical
  analysis/3D modelling package. You need to understand mathematical functions
  to  O Grade/Standard Grade/GCSE level at a minimum in order to make  use  of
  this program.  You start out by creating a graph using one of the  supported
  formulae or the Julia or Mandelbrot fractal sets,  then map your graph  onto
  one  of the supplied 3D surfaces.  Your creations can also be made  into  3D
  animations.  In  addition,  Eureka  can also import  images  and  animations
  created using the Persistence Of Vision raytracer.  Docs in French,  program
  in English and French.  UK support through Cyberstrider. Needs at least 2 Mb
  and a hard drive. ALVI V0.05B by Uwe Haase - A JPEG viewer. Despite what the
  docs  say,  you must run ALVI from the Desktop (i.e.  drag & drop etc  don't
  work).  The  current  version runs in any resolution but only  displays  the
  image in monochrome. Image can be displayed at various zoom levels. Its main
  claim to fame is its speed at loading. MP_STE V2.78 by Guillaume Tello - The
  ST conversion of the Falcon program MPlayer.  Lets you play Quick Time, AVI,
  FLI,  FLC,  FLH,  SEQ,  PI1+DLT and FLM animations on any ST. The STE in the
  name signifies that you will get stereo sound (where appropriate) if running
  on an STE.  Mono sound is supported on pre-STE machines.  It also allows you
  to create Quick Time,  AVI and FLM animations on your ST as well as animated
  GIFs  for  the  Web.  An  excellent tool with a  few  restrictions  in  this
  Shareware release. Register for the full version.

  ART.6158   GRAFTOOL  V4/2/96  by JJ von Bargen - One  of  the  best  graphic
  conversion tools ever released. It loads images in raw screendump, BMP, GIF,
  IMG,  JPG,  GIF,  MSX II, MidiMaze, PBM, PCD, PCX, PNG, TGA and TIFF formats
  and saves them as TIF,  PNG,  PCX,  IMG or GIF.  Its main claims to fame are
  that it can be run from floppy disk,  loads and saves files twice as fast as
  GEMVIEW, uses less memory than GEM-View and it preserves the colour depth of
  the  image (eg;  load a 256 colour image into a 16 colour resolution and  it
  will be displayed in 16 colours on screen but resaved as a 256 colour  image
  with no loss of quality over the original).  It also supports the playing of
  DL, FLI/FLC and GL animations. Various palette options and dithering methods
  are  supported  as  is the ability to create thumbnail  catalogues  of  your
  images. Graftool is under constant development. This version is about 95% in
  English  although  the docs are in German (along with  a  RUF  translation).
  Later  versions  handle more file formats although they  are  not  currently
  available  in English.  This unregistered version has some  limitations  but
  registration  is free!  FRACPACK by Eric Da Cunha - Four fractal  generating
  modules  for use with any program which supports Parx's  M&E  modules.  They
  allow you to create fractals using the Mandelbrot, Julia, Octo, Barnsley and
  Phoenix sets.  The less common Newton-Raphson method is also supported as is
  a  new method which generates images which look like  ceiling  roses!  These
  demo  versions  only create fixed resolution images,  use a lower  level  of
  detail and are much slower than the full versions which may be obtained from
  the  author.  Docs  in  English and French.  GFORGE V1.2  by  John  Beale  -
  Generates  a  landscape  texture using a process known  as  "random  fractal
  forgery".  The  generated landscapes are very realistic in  appearance,  yet
  calculated  from a simple algorythm.  The output files are in 24-bit TGA  or
  PNG  format  and may be used as standalone files or as backgrounds  for  POV
  scenes. A large amount of control is possible when creating these landscapes
  and the doc is very detailed.  The program can hardly be described as  user-
  friendly but the results can be impressive to say the least.

  ART.6205C GRAFIX ART by Silly Software - This was the art package which  was
  originally  to  be  bundled  with their "Grafix -  The  Easy  Way"  graphics
  tutorial package. It works in a similar manner to Degas Elite with the tools
  on  one  screen and your work on another,  the right mouse  button  flipping
  between them. Grafix supports up to 9 workscreens and loads and saves images
  in PI1,  NEO and its own formats.Its tools are limited in that only ellipse,
  triangle,  box,  line,  k-line,  rays, brush, fill, spray, zoom and freehand
  drawing are supported.  Having said that, the ability to resize blocks prior
  to pasting is a nice touch.  All in all,  a nice easy to use package ideally
  suited  to  beginners.  MORPHING  V1.05 by Moise Valvassori -  As  the  name
  suggests,  this programs lets you morph one image into another by generating
  the  in between frames and creating an animation.  You can specify how  many
  frames should be generated, the more frames, the longer it takes to generate
  and  the more memory/disk space is needed.  Having said  that,  more  frames
  results  in smoother animations.  It uses a different method to Apex  Media,
  employing  the use of a user-defined grid to control the process.  The  only
  limitations  seems to be that it only works with 24-bit TGA images and  it's
  very  slow.  Runs in low resolution.  Don't be put off by the  poor  picture
  display  on screen,  the actual morph is done in 16.7 million  colours!  The
  animation  is saved to disk as a series of 24-bit TGA files.  These  can  be
  stitched  into  an  animation using MPEG FEVER on  ART.5471  or  GIF2FLI  on
  ART.5625 (although you'd need to convert them to GIF first). The results are
  amazing,  even on the default settings. Both program and docs are in French,
  but everything is obvious! Needs at least 2Mb, a hard drive and Multi-TOS or
  MagiC  (it does not work correctly under TOS).  One of the  most  innovative
  releases to date!

  ART.6206  META V4 by Mark Kimball - This ACC acts as a metamorphic  animator
  for use with CyberSculpt.  Very little documentation,  but should make sense
  to CyberSculpt users.  Please note,  this ACC does absolutely nothing unless
  CyberSculpt  is currently loaded.  MUTA by Mark Kimball -Companion to  META,
  this  ACC has one purpose only,  to save all the intermediate frames in  the
  animations you created using META. POVQUANT V1.60 - A collection of programs
  for use with DKB Raytrace or POV Raytracer. The quantisation programs take a
  24-bit  TGA  image and reduce it to 16 or 256 colours using  the  Octree  or
  Heckbert  colour reduction methods.  ANIMDAT reads an animation source  file
  and uses it to generate scene files for DKB or POV Raytrace.  ANIMFLI  takes
  images  generated by the quantisation programs and builds them into  an  FLI
  animation (at a size of 320x200 only).  The docs for POVQUANT are aimed at a
  PC audience but should give enough information to get you going.  BIG E_D  -
  All  the  files you need to render the Starship  USS  Enterprise  NCC-1701-A
  using POV Raytrace v1.00.  An impressive scene which contains textures  with
  up to ten layers!  Likely to take a day or two to render but should be  well
  worth  the wait!  The scripts will need a bit of work to alter them for  use
  with a later version of POV.  Needs 2.5 Mb.  TEXTY by Tony Greenwood -An art
  package which has one aim,  to handle fonts! It comes supplied with 49 fonts
  in  with character sizes varying from 6*6 pixels to 32*32  pixels.  You  can
  load up a PI1 or NEO image,  type a line of text in your favourite font  and
  apply various attributes such as shade,  underline and inverse to it. It may
  be moved around prior to pasting down and the text may be pasted down in  x-
  ray or overlay mode.
