PD NEW RELEASES
---------------
o Music of the Shapeshifters 3, 60 tunes to incorporate into
your own programs, with source, budgie professional series.
The Mini Juggler Demo by Radical Systemz is the demo that
started it all off, digitized frame animation. The new demos
are featured in the appropriate section as are most other
programs.
o L.A.P.D.s disk catalogue may be worth a look, few games,
universal pictures demo and a different style than other disk
cats, take a look, only a quid!
o The Hitchiker has just released his Shareware Disk into
domain, includes Hisoft Basic and Devpac source for many of
which include, documner display 2.23, pc_trace, samconv,
boot_drv, see review for details.
o ST Writer Elite has just been updated to version 4.2,
correcting the printer driver, and is TT compatible
(huh means sod all to me - Ed!).
o Europress will be releasing (it may be released now) a new
mag called Shareware Shopper, features PD. It doesnt have a
disk though.
o Turbo Assembler, an updated version of the Omikron assembler
has been released into PD, it should also be featured in ST
Format in the near future (so I hear). It has a built in
debugger, editor, gem libraries and english docs, and loads
of sample programs.
o KAOS Desktop is to be released (probably out now) this
supposedly knocks the socks off Gemini and comes very close
to NeoDesk!
o EZ-ART has updated to version 1.7, which must be the best
ever art program in the Public Domain rated 92% by ST Format,
what will its follow up be rated??? See review.
o BIG NIGHT OUT MAG #2 is on its way. It will be completely
re-designed (if you dont think it should be - write in
- please!).
o Joust doing the rounds of many PD libraries is supposedly
NOT PD at all, reviewed in ST Format, is an arcade
conversion.
o Some new demos to look out for, Kinky Boots, a sampled demo
of that horrible song, but well sampled, and quite funky
grafix as well. This is a POV disk, so you can find it
almost anywhere.
o Caledonia PDL, are currently distributing all 105 Demo
compilation disks from Ripped-Off.
o L.A.P.D. is one of the libraries to distribute the 'Cracked-
Demos' which are usually on two disks, and feature
well-known demos cracked and hacked for you to glote at!
o If you want to submit your new PD program to be featured or
reviewed in the Magazine disk, or you have any comments,
improvements, or articles in general, write to:
