  Douglas Little now loads and converts Targa, GIF and DKB Raytrace files into
  high quality PCS screens. This version needs 1 Meg.

  FST.3601   FEBRUARY/MARCH  1993  PREVIEW  DISK - A  selection  of  the  best
  software  from  the  latest  catalogue.   AUTORAISE  -  An  accessory  which
  automatically  raises (i.e.  makes active) the GEM window  under the  mouse,
  like  X-Window systems i.e.  no need to click.  BITZCOPY v0.5 - A neat  disk
  copier/formatter with a graphical display.  It even knows about  HD floppies
  (1.2 & 1.44MB)! 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
  or  Star SJ-48 printer.  A sheet feeder must be fitted in order to use  this
  program.  CAPTAIN  HOOK  -  Intercepts  system vectors  and  allows  you  to
  (temporarily) 'disconnect' accessories and memory resident programs in cases
  where programs clash.  DUCKDASH - As Danny Duck it is your task to   protect
  Farmer Floyd's farmyard from  mutant creatures.  You do this by   collecting
  eggs and avoiding the mutants.  An excellent little game.  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!  COOKIE JAR v1.2 - Displays contents  of  the
  cookie jar (i.e. which system versions/options etc; are installed). OUTRIGHT
  - Re-directs all printer output to the serial port to fix programs (like GFA
  Basic,  DB  Master,  Sheet ST etc;) which don't know about serial  printers.
  MISTY  by  ACO and Whee The Fibble - An extension for use with  STOS  Basic.
  Some  handy  extra  commands plus screen  handling  routines  rewritten  for

  Misty STOS Demo on DEM.3474C. PCX2IMG 2 - Simply converts PCX files (mono or
  colour)  to IMG format.  PEKING - Perhaps the best variation on the  Chinese

  For one or two players. PETRA - A sound driver which allows you to use PAULA
  (on  MUS.3255)  on pre STE machines.  STOS_FIX - A replacement  STOS  loader
  which allows STOS Basic to run with any ST,  STE,  TT OR Falcon!  This won't
  make your run only or compiled programs run,  it just allows STOS itself  to
  be  used  and programs to be run from within  the  interpreter.  STOS_STE  -
  Extensions for STOS Basic which allow you to use some of the extra  features
  of  the STE.  You can access multiple  joysticks,  hardware  scrolling,  the
  extended palette, light gun and DAC sample replay. TIME_DRIVE - Displays the

  FST.3656   APRIL/MAY  1993 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of the  best  software
  from  our latest catalogue.  FRANGLAIS 6 - The final part in  the  Franglais
  series.   This  installment  covers  large  numbers,   being  negative   and
  emphasising  pronouns.  Colour  only.  GALAXIAN by Sinister  Developments  -
  Another Shareware version of a classic game. Using either the  keyboard or a
  joystick  you move left and right to destroy waves of attacking   Galaxians.
  Individual attackers try to  make your task even more difficult.  Certain to
  give your firing finger a good workout!  Colour only. SAFEMENU - A CPX which
  allows  you to change the behaviour of menus in GEM appplications  and  make
  them less likely to be activated by mistake. Menus can be made pull down (as
  opposed to drop down) like the Mac,  activated by the right mouse button  or
  activated  only when the mouse touches the upper half of the menu.  A  mouse
  accelerator is also included.  You will need XControl on UTL.391 to use this
  program.  FONT INFO V1.0 - Provides information on GEM fonts.  It tells  you
  the file name,  font name,  point size,  ID number, resolution etc. SEARCHER
  DELUXE  V2.01  - A nice easy to use program which lets you locate  files  of
  floppy disks, hard drives and ram disks. Simply select the drive you want to
  search  and enter the file name(s).  Multiple files can be searched for  and
  wildcards are supported. Once located, the file(s) may be loaded, deleted or
  have thweir attributes changed.  LIFE - This type of propagation program  is
  well  known  and  goes back a long way  in  computing.  Chris  Skellern  has
  presented this one in a very tidy fashion and the rules of the game are well
  explained.  Demos of different growth patterns are available.  Alternatively
  you can create your own and watch the fascinating growth patterns.  MINE - A
  grid  contains some hidden mines.  You  must identify which squares  contain
  mines  without  uncovering  them.  Each  turn  gives you  clues  as  to  the
  whereabouts   of these mines.  A challenging puzzle game.  SCHOENBERG  -  An
  algorithmic  composing  program  by  Gareth  Jones,  said  to  be  based  on
  techniques developed by the Second Viennese School of composers, Schoenberg,
  Berg,  and Webern. As is usual with this type of program, results are rather
  avant guard.  ST ZIP V2.2 - The latest version of Vincent Pomey's  excellent
  archiver program.  MEGA DEPACK 2.11 - Mike Watson's latest update.  It  even
  unpacks PowerPack files from the Amiga!

  FST.3728   JUNE/JULY  1993 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of the  best  software
  from  our latest catalogue.  FIGGY - Reconfigures your computer's memory  to
  make it behave as if it has 1/2 Meg,  1 Meg or 2 Meg of memory. Obviously it
  can't give you more memory than is fitted but it can give you less and  then
  restore  back  to  normal.  It  is primarily  intended  for  testing  memory
  requirements  of programs and avoiding the 'won't run on machines with  more
  than 1 Meg' problem.  RAZREZ - An ACC music player which will play any piece
  of chip music written by Mad Max,  Count Zero, Crispy Noodle, Lap, Big Alec,
  Synth Dream,  SMF/MUF,  LTK,  Megatiser,  Zound-Dragger, Undead, TAO, Ralph,
  Xenex, Trimod, Nexus, Ben Dalglish, Misfit, GSR v3 and Blip Blopper! It will
  even recognise and play and of the above when packed with Ice 2.4, Fire 2.0,
  Atomik  3.5,  Automation  5.01 or SpeedPacker 2.0.  VIEW by Damien  Jones  -
  Allows you to view Degas,  NEO,  Tiny, Spectrum 512, Art Director and Doodle
  pictures  by  simply  double-clicking  them.   If  you're  unfamiliar   with
  installing  an application,  don't worry as an installer is  supplied!  COPY
  MULTI V1.0 -  A multi-tasking disk copying program.  It copies disks as  you
  get  on with something else.  It does not require Multi-TOS and runs on  any
  ST.  EXTRACT LZH - Allows you to create your own self extracting files  from
  LZH archives. UNDELETE by Trevor Blight - An excellent utility which takes a
  new approach to recovering deleted files. It reconstructs the file in memory
  and  saves it to another disk,  preventing possible messups on the  original
  disk.   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. 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 v2.1 - 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. DOGGIE - A
  Deluxe  Paint animation of the famous Dulux paint dog.  INSECTOID by  Robert
  Dytmire  -  A  Galaxians type game  where waves of insects  swoop  down  the
  screen  at you and you must defend yourself  by shooting as many of them  as
  you  can.  Once  you clear the screen of aliens it's  on to the  next  level
  where you continue with the destruction. A very addictive game.

  FST.3854   AUGUST/SEPTEMBER  1993  PREVIEW DISK - A selection  of  the  best
  software from the latest catalogue.  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!  AUTO CAPTURE V1.0 by Stuart Coates -  Install
  this  program in your Auto folder and it will intercept all data  from  your
  RS232  port and save it to a disk file.  Useful if you've gone  on-line  and
  forgot  to  switch  on  your  capture buffer.  PLAY  MATH  by  B-Ware  -  An
  educational  platforms  and  ladders game which  offers  standard  addition,
  subtraction etc;  with a more unusual presentation.  A 'creature' has to  be
  guided  through  different  mazes to land on  the  correct  number  sequence
  required for easy, medium and difficult questions. The 'difficult' maths are
  best done with a simple calculator.  For £5,  registered users get a program
  which  lets them set up their own questions.  Highly recommended.  KUBES  by
  Digital  Dimension  -  A puzzle game that bears  a  passing  resemblance  to
  Tetris.  You must clear the screen of falling blocks, however you can't move
  the current blocks but you can move the rows of previously collected blocks.
  Addictive with some original concepts.  ZZD QUARTET PLAYER by ZZD - A  stand
  alone  player  for Quartet files with output via the  sound  chip,  DMA,  ST
  Replay series or Playback.  CLIPBRD 1.3 - An implementation of the  standard
  GEM  clipboard as specified by DRI.  It allows programs which support it  to
  share  data  between  each other.  It is ideally suited for  hard  drive  or
  ramdisk use. CLOCK 2.0 - Probably the best Desktop clock there is. It can be
  displayed  anywhere  on screen in analog or digital form.  It has  an  alarm
  facility and can display the date too.  If you have an STE, TT or Falcon, it
  will  chime on the hour too!  Everything can be customised to  suit.  MASTER
  BROWSE V2.6A - Probably the best document displayer available.  It  operates
  within a GEM window and allows you to search text,  set markers,  select and
  print blocks and much more.  It's very fast at loading text and scrolling on
  screen.  It even runs under Multi-TOS. POVSHELL V1.6 by Binaris - An easy to
  use GEM based shell (which is even Multi-TOS compatible) for simplifying the
  use  of POV Raytrace.  It allows you to enter all those  complex  parameters
  with simple mouse clicks. THE ULTIMATE WRITE PROTECTOR - Allows you to write
  protect all drives, including hard drives and ramdisks.

  FST.3992   OCTOBER/NOVEMBER  1993  PREVIEW DISK.  A selection  of  the  best
  software  from  the latest catalogue.  MATCH 2 by Dunce's Cap Software  -  A
  followup to the game on EDU.3455. The initial concept of clicking on squares
  to reveal their contents and trying to remember where matching pictures  are
  located,  has been taken further.  The three additional options allow you to
  match  (or avoid a match) with two adjacent screens or 'Super  Match'  where
  you have a massive 72 square grid!  Very addictive and highly  entertaining.
  KUBES by Digital Dimension - A puzzle game that bears a passing  resemblance
  to Tetris.  You must clear the screen of falling blocks,  however you  can't
  move  the current blocks but you can move the rows of  previously  collected
  blocks.  Addictive with some original concepts. FRANK AND THE LOST AUBERGINE
  - A multi-directional scrolling platform game. Collect the diamonds and find
  the exit to the next level.  Features very fast scrolling.  Try not to  blow
  yourself up too often!  Can you find the cheat mode? ERORBASE V1.0 by Martin
  Wright - A STOS accessory which makes it easier to understand errors in STOS
  programs.  It  is essentially a database of all the STOS error  numbers  and
  their meanings.  Much faster than looking up the manual!  MIDIFOXX v2.14  by
  Petri  Sinisalo - Sends and receives sysex data to and from  your  keyboard.
  Data can be edited if you know what you're doing,  and saved to  disk.  Mono
  only.  ASSEMBLER  2000  by  Chris Skellern - An  excellent  Shareware  68000
  assembler from the author of Family Roots.  It includes a number of  example
  programs  and  a complete game for you to compile.  Registered users  get  a
  printed manual, printed tutorial and the latest update of the program. CLOCK
  +  by M Maisey - An analog or digital clock (you choose) which runs  in  any
  resolution. You can have gadgets (close box, full box, window title bar etc)
  on  or off,  set the position on screen and save  your  preferences.  Simply
  select the ACC from the menu bar and click inside its window to bring up the
  options. There's a Multi-TOS version on disk too. HDINFO V1.1 - Modifies the
  DESKTOP.INF or NEWDESK.INF on bootup, to display the amount of free space on
  the  drive,  rather  than  the drive name.  INSDATE -  An  ACC  which  (when
  selected) prints the current date into word processing documents.  Obviously
  your  system date must be set correctly first!  HD FREE v1.2 - A  CPX  which
  displays the amount of space used (and free) on each partition of your  hard
  drive, using a bar graph. It also displays free memory against total memory.
  THE  OPTRONIX  MUSAK PLAYER by Philip Shaw - A Shareware chip  music  player
  which  plays  music in Mad Max,  Tao,  Count Zero,  Big Alec  and  Megatizer
  formats.  It  will  also rip music from executable  files.  Includes  secret
  screen! 12 music files are included. Colour only.

  FST.4254   CHRISTMAS  1993 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of the  best  software
  from the latest catalogue.  1WP2FAX - Converts a 1st Wordplus document  into
  an  IMG file at the correct resolution for transmitting using  STFax,  QFax,
  Junior/TeleOffice  and STraight FAX.  BJ10E - A 1st Wordplus printer  driver
  for the Canon BJ10e.  HELPFUL HORACE by Chris Skellern - An easy to use  two
  column printing program. It takes a standard ASCII file and lets you specify
  the  settings  you  want.  It  can then be output as a  one  or  two  column
  document.  This  will  save  lots of paper when  printing  lengthy  readmes,
  assuming  your  printer  supports condensed printing.  DARKLYTE  -  A  cross
  between  a war game and chess.  You control four droids,  each of which  has
  certain capabilities,  on a chessboard type grid. You and your opponent take
  it  in turn to try to remove each other's pieces from the game.  NEW  DEPACK
  V1.0 by Mike Watson - The successor to Mega Depack on UTL.3226. This version
  runs as an ACC, GTP or PRG and there's an optimised version included for the
  Falcon.  It  recognises and depacks 126 different packed file types  and  is
  Multi-TOS  compatible.  Batch mode allows entire folders (or drives)  to  be
  depacked in a single operation.  Simply the best depacker available.  GEMRAM
  V1.5  - Copies GEM from ROM to RAM.  This is necessary if you want to  apply
  custom patches to GEM such as WINX,  ARROWFIX or SHBUF. ROUTE FINDER V1.8 by
  Brian  Henderson - A freeware electronic map.  This program  calculates  the
  distance  between  any  two points on the British  isles.  You  can  specify
  specific roads to avoid,  the average speeds for different road types and so
  on.  There's no fancy maps like the ones you get with Auto Route,  but  this
  program  offers  the best alternative to Atari users since  Auto  Route  was
  discontinued.  LEDPANEL  V1.0 - A graphic display in the top right  of  your
  screen indicates reading and writing activity on any drive connected to your
  system.  PROFILE  V1.43 by Mark Baines - This program is probably  the  most
  extensive  system  analysis program available.  It provides  information  on
  hardware,  TOS,  memory,  screen resolution,  disk drives,  operating system
  header block and basepage,  cartridge and control panel settings,  important
  system configuration addresses,  DESKTOP.INF/NEWDESK.INF settings,  vertical
  blank interrupts, the cookie jar, environment variable strings, the complete
  system variables contents and exception vectors.  All data can be printed or
  saved to disk.  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.

  FST.4364  FEBRUARY/MARCH 1994 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some of the best
  new titles from our latest catalogue.  PENGO - Guide the hero, Eddy, through
  a number of ice mazes whilst avoiding ghouls and ghosts. These spooks can be
  trapped or destroyed by sliding blocks of ice onto or around them.  UTOPUS -
  A  two  player battle game in split screen format.  The aim of the  game  is
  straightforward,  blow  up  your  opponent  before  losing  your  own  life.
  Achieving the aim is rather more difficult.  Needs 1 Meg, STE only. LONGPLAY
  by  Michael Hodgkinson - An STE sample player which reads continuously  from
  disk.  As it's playing one sample,  it loads the next.  This allows  lengthy
  samples  to  be played back on small memory  machines.  An  editing  program
  allows  you  to accurately splice the samples together.  Longplay  uses  AVR
  format samples and runs at 6.25 Khz.  STE only, Needs 1 Meg. QD PLAY by Dave
  Baggett  - A utility to play 8-bit samples.  Copy the PLAY.PRG to your  Auto
  folder so that samples play samples on boot-up,  via STE,  Hippo or  Replay.
  Command  lines are easily created using a text editor.  PURE LOGIC  by  Tony
  Martin  - Described as a game for anyone who can think logically.  It  is  a
  logic  problems game and is based upon boolean logic,  which is  essentially
  the  way  computers work.  Up to eight player can take part  and  there  are
  several levels of play.  Just to make it harder,  a timer counts down as you
  proceed to solve the problem.  For the Mr Spocks amongst you!  ORCS  (Otto's
  RCS)  by  Thornsten Otto - A Resource Construction Set which  claims  to  be
  better than WERCS,  K-Resource and Atari's own RCS2. GOOD by Tidbit Software
  Engineering  Inc - A rather extensive hard disk backup utility.  As well  as
  all the usual functions,  it keeps track of where the data is stored on  the
  backup disks.  If one of the backup disks gets corrupted, it tells you which
  files you need recopies of! You can even back up one partition directly onto
  another.  Rather  than having docs on disk,  this program has  on-line  help
  built-in, making it much more user friendly than the average program.

  FST.4497   APRIL/MAY 1994 PREVIEW DISK - A collection of the  best  software
  from our latest catalogue. ENDURANCE by Ozzy Omara - Not to be confused with
  the Japanese game show!  Set in the far distant future, you must demolish an
  ageing space station without detonating its atomic core.  The game is set in
  a  3D  world which can be moved around,  viewed from  different  angles  and
  interacted with by means of various icons positioned around the screen.  Can
  you successfully complete your mission and live to tell the tale? INV_PAIN -
  Two  games  from Sinister Software.  The first is a version of  the  classic
  space  invaders  game  known  to just about anyone who  has  ever  played  a
  computer game and this is a very good implementation it is.  The second game
  is  called  Painter and you guide your character,  who looks like  a  little
  white blob,  around a grid. As you pass over the grid it changes colour. The
  idea is to enclosing all the rectangles within the  grid.  However,  baddies
  try to stop your progress. It's not as easy as it sounds. DOMINOES by Nebula
  Entertainment - A demo of the more traditional game of dominoes.  Control is
  simple,  move the mouse pointer and click. Assuming your move is legal, your
  chosen domino is placed.  View each end of the growing chain of dominoes  to
  decide  where  to place your next tile.  This demo is merely a best  out  of
  three game, register to get a fuller version containing opponents of varying
  difficulties.  MONOPACK v1.2 by Shrimp - A mono emulator which lives in  the
  bootsector!  The installation program can write ST or STE versions, or clear
  the  bootsector.  Speed  setting can also be varied.  One of the  best  mono
  emulators I've seen - very smooth!  SELECTRIC v1.10 by Stefan Radermacher  -
  Not  just another replacement File Selector.  Includes every  file  selector
  function you can think of,  then adds a couple more! Also included is an ACC
  and CPX to call Selectric from the Desktop. All Desktop functions like copy,
  move, rename etc. can be carried out within Selectric. An excellent piece of
  Shareware.  DESKPIC by Norbert Marschalleck- Allows you to use a Degas, NEO,
  DOO,  PAC, IMG, GIF  or  TGA  picture of your choice as a  backdrop  to  the
  Desktop.  Numerous  example  GIF pictures are included. If  the  picture  is
  smaller  than the screen size,  a pattern is made up from it.  Runs  in  any
  resolution! Really impressive.

  FST.4622   JULY  1994 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of the very  best  software
  from  our  latest  catalogue.  MARIANT - A French card game  a  little  like
  solitaire but played with two packs.  The aim of the game is to sort out the
  cards into suits,  adhering to specific rules.  An easy game to get the hang
  of. OCR v1.0 by Alexander Clauss - An optical character recognition program.
  It reads in IMG files created by scanners and converts any text within  them
  into ASCII so that it can be saved to disk and edited within your  favourite
  word processor. You are prompted to enter the ASCII equivalent of any letter
  not  recognised and these are built up into libraries for future  use.  This
  means that the next time you encounter that letter in the document,  it will
  be  recognised.  By saving libraries at the end of each  session,  character
  recognition  will  be much faster next time as OCR will already  'know'  the
  relevant  font.  Where a font is such that it is difficult to  tell  certain
  characters from each other (eg:  1 and l) you can instruct OCR to guess  the
  correct character based upon the other characters surrounding it.  This is a
  very powerful program which is on a par with many commercial offerings,  yet
  it is easy to understand and a joy to use. Obviously you will need some sort
  of mono scanner in order to scan the text you intend to use. OCR will run on
  a  1 Meg system but some scans may be too large to load  without  additional
  memory.  CLOCK TIME by 4HJ - As the title suggests,  this is an  instructive
  program  designed to help teach children to tell the time.  A useful  'watch
  and  learn'  prelude is given,  to show how to  manipulate  the  hour/minute
  hands. There are five levels of play which are guaranteed to have your child
  familiar  with the basic concepts fairly quickly.  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.  PS CAPTURE V1.0 - Redirects the output from the GDOS
  PostScript  driver supplied with Timeworks (and probably other  applications
  too), to a disk file. This enables you to take the disk to a bureau for high
  quality  results.  JCCFNVUE  - Displays Calamus fonts to  the  screen.  This
  allows  you to search quickly through your font collection and decide  which
  font  you require.  Mono only.  EZ-ART PROFESSIONAL DEMO - A usable demo  of
  Floppyshop's revolutionary new art package for the ST/E.  It handles screens
  deeper than the normal low res screen allows and imports most of the  common
  formats.  There's a massive collection of tools, many of which are unique to
  the package.  Try before you buy with this great demo.  A comprehensive text
  file lists all the main features and we've included a couple of pictures for
  you to play around with.  Everything is operational in this demo except that
  you can't save your work.

  FST.4686   AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 1994 COMPILATION DISK - A selection of the  very
  best software from our latest catalogue.  BOXKITE V1.43 - A replacement file
  selector  which  is very similar to Selectric.  Boxkite offers most  of  the
  Desktop's standard functions (copy,  move, delete, rename etc) from the file
  selector, supports long filenames under MinixFS, has keyboard shortcuts, pop
  up menus and much more. In addition, the file selector can be resized like a
  window to display more (or less) info on the files.  E_DICT V1.0 by  Charles
  Edwards - A German to English translation program with a difference.  Rather
  than do a 'blind' translation, E_DICT lists the meanings of every known word
  below the text and you type in the translated version with the words in  the
  correct order. As each few sentences are translated, the next few are loaded
  and their meanings displayed.  Although translations with E_DICT take longer
  than with those which churn out automatic translations,  the results will be
  much  more readable.  Another thing which makes E_DICT different is that  it
  does not contain a massive dictionary.  Instead it handles the most commonly
  used  words as well as many German technical terms.  This Shareware  version
  only  gives translations on the first 1000 characters within the  file.  The
  registered version handles translations of any length.  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.  SNACMAN  by  Impact
  Software - Yet another Pacman clone, again with some added features not seen
  in other games of this type.  This version has impressive sound and graphics
  and allows up to three players to play at once. As with all pacman games the
  idea  is  to  rush around the maze gobbling up the  pods  and  avoiding  the
  ghosts.  X-PROTRACKER by Eagle of Sentry - An adaptation of Protracker  with
  several  enhancements.  Unfortunately,  there  was no space on the  disk  to
  include any MOD files!  X-Protracker is STE ONLY.  GVMODUL.JPG - An external
  module which allows you to save JPEG files from GEMVIEW v3.0 or later. DELAY
  CALCULATOR  by Carl Lofgren - A Midi musician's tool.  Used as an  accessory
  within your sequencer, simply enter the tempo and it will calculate possible
  delays.

  FST.4813   OCT/NOV  1994  COMPILATION DISK - A selection of  the  very  best
  software  from our latest catalogue.  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. ASCDRAW v1.52
  -  Allows you to create boxes and line drawings as used on the PC or on  BBS
  screens.  What  makes it so flexible is that you can superimpose  the  boxes
  over an existing text file and you can cut out your creations as blocks  and
  perform  most of the usual block functions found in art  packages.  DESKMORF
  V1.10 - Gives GEM windows, Desktop icons and dialog boxes a 3D look. Instead
  of a button inverting when it selected,  it will appear to be 'pressed  in'.
  This version only works for 10 minutes. You need to register to get the full
  benefits!  Colour  only.  CLARISSA  by  Chris Sharp - This  is  The  Supreme
  Software Group's document displayer. It is similar in concept to RDD and the
  STOSSER doc displayer but with a few extras.  Screen colours can be changed,
  you  have  choice of two fonts,  music can be switched on or  off,  you  can
  toggle 50/60 hz display and much more.  You can even display Degas  pictures
  and docs compressed with all the popular packers. All this is in addition to
  its  functions as a doc displayer!  Give it a try,  you're bound to find  it
  useful.  Colour only. GHOST - This program eases the pain in transferring to
  and from Macs on emulators prior to Spectre GCR. It converts Aladin, Spectre
  Macintosh MFS disk formats to and from each other.  Assuming that you  don't
  copy a disk to a format with a lower capacity,  the program works  well.  In
  fact you can often get away with using smaller formats if the source disk is
  not  full!  ST  GLOBE - A most excellent coverage from  France  (written  in
  English)  of almost everything relating to the geography of the  world.  The
  programming is excellent,  dozens of maps are available covering topics such
  as  capitals,  population,  money in use etc.  over almost the whole of  the
  earth.  Questions  are  available  to test your knowledge  and  answers  are
  readily  obtainable  once the score has been established,  by return  to  an
  active menu.  Capitals and countries are pinpointed with a flashing  cursor.
  Good  interaction between all screens and easy return to the  main  menu.  A
  five star Shareware program. POTHOLE by Paul Grenfell - A 20 level Shareware
  game based on Boulderdash.  The basic aim is to tunnel beneath the earth and
  find diamonds and other goodies. Watch out for nasties and falling rocks, as
  these will try to hinder your progress.  PENGI by Leesoft,  New Zealand -  A
  maze game where the maze is made up of blocks,  many of which can be  moved,
  by pushing them.  Your aim is to try to kill all the snowbees on each  level
  by squashing them with the blocks.  Each snowbee killed gives up a bonus and
  once you have cleared the level, it's on to the next.

  FST.4870   CHRISTMAS  1994 COMPILATION DISK - A selection of the  very  best
  software from different catagories in our latest catalogue.  ASSIGN-ED -  An
  easy  to use GEM based program which allows you to add or delete fonts  from
  your ASSIGN.SYS file using simple mouse clicks,  rather than having to  type
  it all in from a text editor.  It also lets you see what the font looks like
  using  some example text.  Multi-TOS compatible too.  CPX SPY v1.01 by  Gary
  Priest - Displays the version numbers of all CPX files on your system.  This
  allows  you to easily distinguish which are newer versions of CPXs that  you
  already have. You can also view a CPXs attributes, change directory and copy
  new CPXs into your usual CPX folder.  Multi-TOS compatible. GHOSTLINK V1.02ß
  - Allows you to connect up a PC (in fact up to three PCs) to your Atari  and
  address it as a slave device. In simple terms, this allows you to access any
  data  on  the PC's storage devices  (floppy  drives,  hard  drives,  CD-ROM,
  Syquests  etc)  and read the data directly into the Atari as if  that  drive
  were connected to it.  A possible use might be to load a picture from a  CD-
  ROM  drive on the PC directly into GEM-View for conversion and then save  it
  out onto your Atari hard drive.  The possibilities are limitless!  You  will
  require  a  null modem cable to connect the two machines  together.  The  PC
  software  required  is  also  included.  MULTI SHEN V1.0  by  STectre  -  An
  accessory    which    records    anything   sent    to    the    printer/RS-
  232/MIDI/console/keyboard and sends it to another device of your choice. Can
  also make multiple copies,  e.g.  to the printer. MNILU v1.61 by STectre - A
  Shareware  compiler for GFA Basic v2 programs.  Can't create accessories  or
  Auto-running programs.  Some limitations on normal compiler  functions,  and
  can't  produce fast or small final programs.  Some programs may run  out  of
  memory  on  machines with less than 1 Meg of memory.  JETLOPE  2  by  Barney
  Poston - Our first program for the HP Deskjet 510 and 520! It lets you print
  envelopes  (either individually,  from an ASCII list or from data stored  in
  the  GEM clipboard) and lets you access the internal fonts built into  these
  printers. The envelope sizes catered for are #10 commercial and European DL.
  Lots  of features are built into this program including a name  and  address
  database.  ONE JACK by STectre - A program launcher which runs as an ACC and
  has the ability to run up to 66 PRG,  TOS,  TTP or GTP programs from a  menu
  with  a simple click of the mouse.  TWINZ - One of those infuriating  puzzle
  games  that  you think should be really easy but turns out to be  quite  the
  opposite. In this game you must find matching pairs of objects hidden behind
  a number of doors,  using the mouse to click on the doors. A good memory and
  quick  responses are required as only two doors can be opened at a time  and
  the whole game is played against the clock.  MAX by N Taylor - A Mario style
  Shareware platform game. You must guide the hero, Max, through each level to
  the exit, picking up the letters of the word EXIT on the way. You must avoid
  monsters,  spikes,  water and lava (all of which have a harmful effect  upon
  you) and watch out for hidden platforms,  secret rooms and bonus items.  The
  graphics and overall presentation make this a game of very high quality.

  FST.5006   FEBRUARY/MARCH  1995 COMPILATION DISK - A selection of  the  very
  best software from different catagories in our latest catalogue. 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.  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.  LOTTERY 4 by Dave Cobbledick - Yet another National  Lottery
  number cruncher program. This one picks out your six random numbers complete
  with  atmospheric  sound effects!  BJ300 by Stephen Munslow - An  ACC  which
  allows you to send various commands (which font,  characters per inch,  text
  effects,  print  quality,  justification etc) directly to a Canon  BJ300  or
  BJ330. RUFTRADE by Charles Edwards - This program has evolved from E_DICT on
  UTL.4637  and  is  currently one of the best  automated  German  to  English
  translation programs around.  Its built-in dictionary's strength comes  from
  the  fact  that it is computer oriented rather than  limited  to  'everyday'
  German.  In  addition,  a number of common German phrases do not make  sense
  when  translated  literally  and Ruftrade attempts  to  identify  these  and
  subsitute meaningful alternatives for them.  Ruftrade is undergoing constant
  development  and  is  used to translate much of the  documentation  for  the
  latest  PD  &  Shareware  releases.   Highly  recommended,  especially  with
  registration at only £5!  DL3_9999 by T Smith - A nice easy to use GEM based
  directory lister program. You can select any drive from A to P and print out
  a  directory listing to printer or save it to disk.  In  addition,  you  can
  specify what data (file size,  date/time stamp,  user comments etc) is to be
  included  within  the listing.  LHARCBAT by Robert Chilton  -  Converts  all
  folders in the directory from which it was run,  into separate LZH  archives
  of the same name by using the supplied LHARC113.TTP. Other versions of LHARC
  may  be used but v1.13 has been supplied as it makes the  output  compatible
  with  the popular dearchiver UNLZH172.  PANTHER - Probably one of  the  most
  useful utilities in years. It intercepts TOS and redirects file accesses. In
  simple  terms,  it  allows  you to put all your ACCs or  RSCs  into  folders
  (nested  as deeply as you like) and load them up as if the ACCs were in  the
  root  directory  of the boot drive and RSCs were in the  same  directory  as
  associated PRGs.  It also supports the use of file aliases, but if you don't
  understand  that you'll still appreciate its use for cleaning up  your  root
  directory.  GHOSTLINK  FIX by Martin Cubitt - Allows you to set up the  baud
  rate when using Ghoslink on the ST.  DYSPROSM by Team Brindlbeast - Your aim
  is  to  fight off 100 waves of attacking aliens as  they  move  horizontally
  across the screen.  The further you progress into the game,  the faster  the
  aliens come and the more often they return your fire.  There are no  bonuses
  or  power-ups it's just shoot at everything that moves.  Can  your  joystick
  handle it? MAGNO-BALL by JV Enterprises - Catch the ball using your joystick
  controlled ship,  a magnet will fix it to the front of your ship, then guide
  it towards your opponent's goal. Beware, contact of any kind (with the edges
  of the playing area or your opponent) will result in the ball escaping. Once
  the goal is in sight, shoot. This is the sort of game that looks much easier
  than it really is, but it will have you coming back for just one more try!

  FST.5090   APRIL/MAY  1995 COMPILATION DISK - A selection of the  very  best
  software  from different catagories in our latest  catalogue.  ECS  (English
  Conjugation  System)  -  Designed  for those who  need  assistance  in  verb
  conjugation.  As  such it is a well designed program where a verb  tense  is
  chosen  (including  the subject - I,  you etc),  the  conjugation  requested
  (present tense,  past tense, future and conditional). You will then be given
  the correct answer.  Full instructions are on disk.  MEMORY - This is a game
  for younger players.  It's a straightforward matching game where the  player
  must uncover matching pairs of cards,  using either the mouse, keyboard or a
  joystick. Play against the computer or another human opponent. MIDIFILES - 4
  drum patterns and a complete song in standard MIDI format to load into  your
  sequencer.  Files are:  5FOUR1,  BONGOFUR,  INTHEAIR,  JAZZRAP2, & SHUFFL10.
  DESKDRIVER 2 by Graham Hinton - Originally designed as a printer driver  for
  KAOSDesk,  this  program  has evolved into a  complete  communications  port
  driver.  It  allows you to direct output from a disk file to  the  parallel,
  serial,  serial 1,  serial 2, modem 1, modem 2, MIDI or LAN ports (depending
  upon which of these is supported by your TOS version and machine). As far as
  we  know,  this is the only driver which addresses the 'extra' ports on  the
  Mega STE,  TT and Falcon.  It is also a an exceptionally good printer driver
  for replacement Desktops.  Mono only. DUET V1.0 by Andrew Alich - Allows you
  to connect up any two TOS based computers (ST,  STE,  TT or Falcon) to  each
  other  and  access  all  drives connected to the network  as  if  they  were
  connected  to  a single machine.  In addition,  you can print  to  a  single
  printer  using either machine.  Connection between the two computers can  be
  made by means of Serial, MIDI or LAN interfaces. Program and docs in German,
  but  a  rough translation is supplied.  LOTTERY COMPANION by Mark  Butler  -
  Written  by  one of Britain's best known Shareware authors,  LC  is  another
  carefully  researched  program rather than merely a  random  number  picker,
  although  it  can do that too.  Each week you add the draw  numbers  to  the
  statistics stored on disk and predictions can be made based on the least  or
  most  commonly drawn numbers drawn over a period of time and three  built-in
  weighting options are used to improve the accuracy of this forecast.  As you
  do  this,  your numbers will automatically be checked against the  draw.  An
  additional  feature in this program is the number wheel where you enter  the
  number  of data sets required (you can have up to 1000) and either  pick  12
  number  fields  manually  or  using one of  the  program's  built-in  number
  generation  methods.  All possible permutations of six lucky numbers  chosen
  from  your selection of 12.  Pattern analysis is also useful as it  displays
  any  patterns that are forming after analysing all draws performed to  date.
  LC3  supports  print  out to any printer and is  constantly  being  updated.
  Suitable for personal or syndicate use.  Can you afford to miss out on  this
  one?  PINGUIN - A rather curious adaptation of the familiar minesweeper type
  game  where you must uncover all squares on the grid which do not contain  a
  penguin.  The  squares  which surround a penguin always  indicate  how  many
  penguins  are  in  adjoining squares.  A number of  preset  grid  sizes  are
  available or you can design your own.  You can also decide how many penguins
  will be hidden in the grid. SpeedoGDOS and Multi-TOS compatible.

  FST.5175   JUNE/JULY 1995 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some of the best  of
  our new releases from catalogue v7.5. NANJING - A two dimensional game which
  uses differing sets of Chinese tiles.  There are six different sets of tiles
  to choose from.  You start off with six tiles placed randomly on a grid  and
  your  aim  is to place as many of the remaining 66 tiles onto  the  grid  as
  possible.  There  are  of course rules as to which tiles are allowed  to  go
  where and strategic positioning of tiles yields a higher  score.  Translated
  into broken English,  you will easily pick it up after a few games.  BUGS by
  David Munsie - Arcade Dave's back with another blast from the past.  This is
  a  much  improved fast action Shareware Centipede  clone.  The  usual  shoot
  everything  the moves,  rule applies and you must destroy the  centipede  to
  progress to the next level. This variant has numerous bees and other insects
  making a guest appearance at times just to spice things up.  There are three
  skill levels and special bonuses on the harder levels.  Great fun! CHARACTER
  TABLE  V1.1 by Mark Baines - A CPX for use with Xcontrol.  It  displays  the
  entire  system font and shows the ASCII,  hex,  decimal,  octal  and  binary
  values for any selected character.  CALIGRAPHER QUICK REFERENCE (CQREF) V1.2
  by  Bill  Aycock - A desk accessory which gives  the  user  multi-functional
  control  through keyboard commands over the  search/replace  codes,  special
  character codes,  case conversion and much more,  from within  Calligrapher.
  C_SCAPE  V1.1  by  Pete  Bailey - An integrated  front  end  for  Sozobon  C
  (LAN.13).  Rather than have to use Sozobon from a CLI,  C_SCAPE gives you  a
  nice easy to use working environment and allows your compiler and editor  to
  be  called  up with a single key press.  The package also  includes  a  text
  editor  called Opal.  A useful feature of C_Scape is the ability  to  switch
  between  low and medium resolution so that you can write the code for a  low
  res  program  whilst  in medium res but don't have to re-boot  to  test  it.
  Comprehensive  manual  on  disk.  Recommended.  MOUSEBUTTON  by  Frogsoft  -
  Reverses  the  mouse buttons so that the left button acts as the  right  and
  vice versa.  Useful if you left button is broken and you don't want to buy a
  new  mouse!  PROBE HOUSE UNIT CONVERTER V1.0 by William Wong - Probably  the
  most comprehensive weights and measures conversion utility ever written.  It
  converts between every known unit of distance/length, weight, speed, volume,
  area,  density,  time,  gravitational force,  energy, pressure, temperature,
  light,  magnetic induction,  electric charge,  power and plane angle. All in
  all,  PHUC  handles over 120 different types of conversions!  It's also  GEM
  based and very easy to use. SPEEDVIEW V1.5 by Christian Ernst - This program
  allows you to view SpeedoGDOS fonts alongside their font names, particularly
  useful  since the filename BX000003.SPD is less than descriptive.  Its  main
  use  would  be  to view Speedo fonts within an application  which  does  not
  support  such  a feature.  This can only be done whilst  running  Multi-TOS,
  although  Speedview itself can be run under ordinary TOS from  the  Desktop.
  SILKBOOT V2e by Mark Slagel - Installs an executable boot sector on a floppy
  disk and tests for 2.5 Meg of memory in cases where TOS thinks it has 4  Meg
  and corrections are made if necessary. This is of most use to STE owners who
  have mixed capacity SIMMs fixed.  Silkboot also bypasses the memory test and
  forced  delay  on  TOS  2.06 machines.  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. QUICKTIME PLAYER V0.92 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.

  FST.5270   AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 1995 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some  of  the
  best  of  our  new releases from catalogue v8.0.  CALL_TTP  V1.0  by  Martin
  Braschler - An interesting program that gives a great deal more control  and
  flexibility over the use of TTP programs.  It installs itself in the OS  and
  every time a TTP is run,  CALL_TTP is called up first.  The options  include
  the ability to switch between white-on-black and black-on-white, a stopwatch
  to compare the performance of similar TTP-programs, the ability to write all
  output to the printer or a file, the option to switch off the cursor or make
  it  blink,  the  ability to extend the length of the TTP  command  line  and
  support for pre-configured script files to save the hassle of typing in  the
  same commands time after time.  Must be run from the root directory of Drive
  C  (hard drive or ramdisk).  Mono only.  BOOTSIE v1.74 by Stefen Krey  -  An
  excellent tool for creating customised executable bootsectors.  You can have
  it print up a user defined message,  reduced the boot wait time,  switch the
  cache on or off,  switch on the blitter, set 50Hz or 60Hz, set the step rate
  for  drives A or B,  sound a 'bing' when Auto programs load and  even  guard
  against viruses.  GFA PATCH V0.98 by Gregor Duchalski and Christopher Conrad
  -  A comprehensive GEM based program for use with the GFA Basic  interpreter
  and compiler. This program deals with various bugs in the Line-A, Setcolour,
  Merge,  Call  and  Deflist commands as well as the colours in  used  in  the
  Editor and much more.   The Compiler is MagiC compatible. Unfortunately, the
  program and docs are in German but we've done a RUF translation of the docs.
  MSB_ANSI by Mark S Baines - These three GDOS bitmapped fonts are  equivalent
  to  the  three Atari system fonts and based on them,  but include  the  ANSI
  characters  suitable  for comms on-line use and those  using  so-called  IBM
  printer  fonts  in their word processor.  In effect,  the  fonts  are  those
  officially called PC-8 Code Page 437 on the PC. Protext users will find them
  particularly  useful.  The included docs explain how to set them up  in  the
  ASSIGN.SYS file for use with NVDI or install them under NEODesk.  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.  RAMCOPY by Terry
  King  - Install as an application,  then every time you double-click a  .RAM
  file (an ASCII file specifying the destination drive and a list of files), a
  ramdisk will be created as specified by the ASCII listing,  and the relevant
  files will automatically be copied into it.  SKYDUEL by Apache - A very good
  single  or  multi-player air combat game which  includes  ballistic  missile
  warfare  with  dogfighting and ground attacks.  The aim of the  game  is  to
  inflict as much damage as possible onto your opponent whilst he or she tries
  to  do the same to you.  The use of a variety of types of aircraft  and  the
  randomly generated scenarios make this a compelling game, but it is not easy
  to be successful until you've had plenty of practice.  MAGIC SHADOW ARCHIVER
  creates   a  compressed  archive  of  a  complete  floppy  disk   (including
  bootsector).  Now  Falcon and Multi-TOS compatible.  LOTTERY5 v3.0 by  Robin
  Fisher  -  Yet  another  useful  utility to help  assist  those  of  us  who
  participate  in the National Lottery.  This program differs from most as  it
  does  not  work merely on the basis of random selection  (although  this  is
  available as an option).  Instead, it is aimed primarily at those of you who
  run  syndicates.  The  database accommodates up to 260 weeks  of  draws  and
  allows  up to 30 syndicate selections including names and up to 10  personal
  selections. Comprehensive statistical analysis charts out the most and least
  popular numbers averaged over the weeks that the program contains data  for.
  This  allows  you  to  make an 'educated guess'  when  picking  next  week's
  numbers.  Each  week you enter the numbers drawn and the program will  check
  them  against the numbers held by the syndicate.  You can also print out  an
  analysis  of the results for each member from within the program.  A lot  of
  research  has  gone into the creation of this program.  Hopefully a  lot  of
  money will come out of it!

  FST.5329   OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 1995 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some  of  the
  best of our new releases from catalogue v8.1.  SMG - A simple memory game by
  Howard Clarke.  The game begins with a grid containing some hidden  numbers,
  your  task is to uncover the numbers in chronological order,  but  only  one
  number is revealed at a time. Easy at first but, as the number of squares in
  the  grid  increases,  this  really does test your  memory.  Would  make  an
  excellent  game  for children.  For one to five players.  PICFIB  V1.1  -  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  COOKIE
  MONSTER v0.1 by Cajun - Saves out a listing of all installed  Cookies.  Both
  the  Cookie identifier and its full name are listed for recognised  Cookies,
  as  well  as  the  identifiers of  any  unrecognised  ones.  Cookie  Monster
  currently  recognises 154 Cookies.  TORUS by Martin Russ - A sliding  puzzle
  game  but  with  added extras,  like the ability to  use  PI1,  PI2  or  PI3
  pictures.  Once  the  picture has been jumbled the sections  move  in  lines
  either horizontally or vertically,  giving an extra challenge to the game. A
  number of pictures are supplied and you can of course use your own.  BLITTER
  EXT - STOS Basic extension which allows you to use the STE's blitter in your
  own  programs.  Includes  both interpreter and  compiler  versions.  STOSSER
  MULTI-MEDIA  DISPLAYER  by Tony Greenwood - This latest incarnation  of  the
  STOSSER  DOCUMENT DISPLAYER has lots of extras over other  displayers.  Your
  text can be edited using the displayer's in-built editor,  there's  in-built
  animation  and sound (13 types of chip music and three sound sample  formats
  are supported) studios and up to 15 fonts and unlimited pictures can be used
  in your documents.  What's more, your finished documents may be packed using
  one  of six common packers.  The amount of user control over  everything  is
  staggering.  Calling  it a document displayer is misleading,  it's close  to
  being described as an authoring kit for multi-media presentations!  TTF VIEW
  by  Trevor  Blight - A simple but handy utility which displays a  True  Type
  font on screen without the need for SpeedoGDOS 5 or NVDI 3 to be  installed.
  This  makes it useful for checking out new fonts without having  to  install
  them and load up an application to view them.  MONO only.  SET CLIPBOARD  by
  More  Soft - Allows you to specify the directory to be used by all  programs
  which support the GEM Clipboard, rather than it defaulting to C:\CLIPBRD.

  FST.5424   CHRISTMAS 1995 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some of the best  of
  our new releases from catalogue v8.2.  LETTRIS - Similiar concept to  Tetris
  except that it is letters that drop down from above, rather than blocks. You
  must make the letters fall in the appropriate columns to make up words.  The
  more words you make, the more points you get. The game is over when the pile
  of  letters reaches the top of the screen.  GOIN' DOWN WITH THE CAPTAIN -  A
  platform  game with well drawn sprites and challenging action,  which  takes
  place on board a ship.  You must seal leaking pipes,  collect lifebouys  and
  avoid  crabs.  A good game for younger users.  COSTA V1.21 by Gary Priest  -
  Reads  details of your Internet calls from NOS.LOG and works out  the  total
  length  of time spent on-line and the cost of the calls.  You can  customise
  the  call charges and charging rates to reflect those appropriate  to  where
  you  dial for your Internet access.  It knows about  time  zones,  standard,
  cheap rate and weekend call tariffs as well as minimum call charges. It even
  includes the VAT!  What's more, you can clear all data when you pay the bill
  so  that remaining data is valid for the next bill.  FONTLOOK V1.0 - An  ACC
  which displays any CFN on screen.  Simply click onto the 'full box' to bring
  up  the  file  selector,  then select a font.  The font name  will  then  be

  V1.0b by Yannick Gayral V1.0b - A big screen emulator for the STE.   It  can
  extend the screen size to 640x480 or 640x800.  MONO ONLY, STE ONLY. COOKIEXX
  V1.0  by  Marc Billiet - Creates a Cookie Jar at startup  (on  TOS  versions
  below 1.6) of a size that the user can choose by renaming the xx part of the
  filename  to the required size.  BOOTSECTOR RE-INSTALLER v1.74 by  Tronic  -
  Lets you install 14 different customised bootsectors onto your disks in this
  demo  version.  The full version lets you install anti-viruses,  virus  free
  bootsectors and bootsector utilities.  You can also re-install game and demo
  bootsectors which have been damaged. DISK CAKE V2.1 by Christoph Zwerschke -
  Displays  disk  usage  as  a  pie chart.  You  can  of  course  specify  any
  disk/partition  or an individual directory.  Double-click files  to  display
  their  attributes.  Double-click  folders to display a pie  chart  of  their
  contents.  Lots of user configurable options.  FIVE TO FIVE v2.11 - Analyses
  and converts various sample formats (AIFF,  AIFF-CUBASE, AVR, DVSM, FORTUNE,
  HSN,  SND,  WAVE,  RAW) between different computer systems (ST, Falcon, Sun,
  NeXT,  Mac,  PC).  Runs on any Atari. ST to MIDI CONVERTER by Andrew Gower -
  Converts  chip music from games into 3-channel MIDI  output.  Obviously  you
  need a MIDI synth or sound module.  Not all games work,  the success rate is
  approximately 50% but even so this is quite remarkable, and possibly unique.

  FST.5481  FEBRUARY/MARCH 1995 PREVIEW DISK - A selection of some of the best
  of our new releases from catalogue v8.3.  CALL FSELECTOR V1.0 by Mark Baines
  -  A CPX which calls up the GEM file selector (or your  chosen  replacement)
  from  within  any GEM based program.   ENHANCE EXTEND.SYS  V1.0  by  Vincent
  Godefroy - Adds the name of SpeedoGDOS fonts as a commented line above their
  file name in the EXTEND.SYS file so that you can easily identify which  file
  name relates to which font. Invaluable! HD FORMAT V2.01 by Thomas Muthmann -
  Allows  you to format just about any type of disk.  Supports 3.5" and  5.25"
  standard  and extended formats in double density or high  density.  It  even
  handles  40 track devices and allows you to specify the steprate for  either
  drive.  MS-DOS compatible bootsectors are also supported. Includes assembler
  source.  DATE_DAY v1.0 by Mark Baines - A CPX which takes any valid date  as
  its  input and returns the day,  the day number and the week number (in  the
  year) for the specified date. Please note that this does not take account of
  the change from the Julian to Gregorian calendars. UNDELETE - Restores files
  and  folders which have been deleted accidentally,  as long as you have  not
  written to the disk since you deleted them.  Medium res only,  only works on
  floppies.  NO  TASTE V1.3 - Writes a customised bootsector to  your  startup
  floppy.  Running  on TOS 2.xx it simulates a keypress in order to abort  the
  automatic  memory test.  On earlier TOS versions you can adjust  the  floppy
  disk  steprate for A or B so as to allow HD disks to be  accessed  correctly
  without installing a separate patch (TOS 2.xx has this feature built-in). On
  all TOS versions,  you can specify the time delay before your hard drive  is
  accessed (in order to let it get up to speed). TO DO V1.01 by Reiner Rosin -
  Described as an alternative to cluttering up your desk with bits of paper! I
  allows you to assign lists of things to do. Each list can have as many items
  as you want and the individual items can be given a priority value from 1 to
  3 and can be marked with a tick (or removed) when done.  Lists can be output
  to  screen,  printer or clipboard or edited at any time.  Probably the  best
  invention since Post-It notes! Runs as a PRG or ACC. THE COOKIE MONSTER v0.4
  by  Cajun - Saves out a listing of all installed Cookies.  Both  the  Cookie
  identifier and its full name are listed for recognised Cookies,  as well  as
  the  identifiers  of  any  unrecognised  ones.   Cookie  Monster   currently
  recognises 357 Cookies.  RACE V2 by D Johnston - An adaptation of the  board
  game Ratrace. This version allows for only one player, but a full version is
  available  from  the author.  This game involves moving around a  board  and
  gambling in order to earn money and so advance to higher levels.  NIBE 2  by
  Marc Bourlon - A snake game where the snake moves continuously and must  eat
  all  the apples on one level to progress to the next.  The only  problem  is
  that  he  grows each time he eats an apple and you lose a life if  he  bumps
  into a wall or his own tale!  This version has colourful graphics,  multiple
  levels and user definable control keys and speed. WHIST by Andrew MacCormack
  - A computer version of the well known card game where the mouse is used  to
  select the card you wish to play.  Even those with no previous knowledge  of
  the  game  will soon pick up the easy to follow rules.  All  the  games  are
  played  against a computer opponent.  STOS MAPPER V1.1 by Les  Greenhalgh  -
  Perhaps the most full featured map editor available.  It is fully icon based
  and works on a similar basis to lego! Maps can be made up from picture files
  or STOS sprite banks and can be up to three layers deep.  In addition, up to
  10  maps  can  be  held in memory  and  easily  swapped  between.  The  only
  limitation  is  that the maps cannot exceed 319x199  tiles,  but  the  tiles
  themselves can be any size. STOS NINJA TRACKER EXT V1.06 by Les Greenhalgh -
  An extension for STOS Basic which lets you play 4 track MOD files  (i.e.  no
  need to convert to AKB) in the background within your own programs.  It also
  lets  you  play chip music by most of the well known demo/game  coders  too.
  This  latest  version  even supports  packed  MODs!  Includes  the  compiler
  extension,  two example MODs plus example STOS source code for using the new
  commands.
