Catalogue Update
All disks in this catalogue are £1.00 unless otherwise
stated. Disks can be ordered by ringing 0983 867377 (5pm-
10pm weekdays, all day Saturdays and Sundays) and stating
the name of the program or the disk number. Your disk will
then be despatched immediately and you should receive it the
next day (if you order on a Saturday, you will receive it on
a Monday). When you receive your disk you should then send
of the right amount. We accept cheques, cash and postal
orders. Cheques and postal orders should be made payable to

All programs which are not compatible with the Atari STE
computer will have NOT STE after their description.
All programs which are compatible with ONLY the Atari STE
computer will have STE ONLY after their description.
If you see 1Mb ONLY, 2Mb ONLY or 4Mb ONLY after the
description of a program it means that the program can be
used with 1Mb, 2Mb or 4Mb of RAM only.
Programs which are not compatible with a certain TOS version
will also be shown.
Programs are listed in alphabetical order with their disk
number making it easier for you to find the program you
want. Should you require assistance in finding a program,
please call us between the times stated above. If you would
like your program to be listed in our catalogue, please send
it to us on a blank disk. We will then send you £1.00, and
if you are the author of that program, five disks of PD. WE
ONLY DEAL IN SHAREWARE AND PD (AND PROGRAMS SUCH AS
CHARITYWARE, POSTCARDWARE ETC.) AND NOT YET COMMERCIAL
SOFTWARE.
Please send us an SSAE for the latest version of our
catalogue which is updated every month. Our address is:

send you a replacement immediately. We also sell blank disks
at £5.00 for ten including postage and packing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UTILITY PROGRAMS AND DESK ACCESSORIES
1ST WORD, DISK NUMBER UTL003. 1st Word is a very easy to use
word-processor. It was, in fact, one of the first word-
processors around on the ST scene. It uses GEM which makes
it very user-friendly, and is compatible with all Atari ST
computers. It works in high and medium resolutions. Up to
four documents can be in memory. It is normally in the Word-
processor column, but is in this column because it comes as
part of the NEWSDISK package (see below)!
2.5MB STE, DISK NUMBER UTL001. With this usefule utility,
you can have 2.5Mb in your STE which is not normally
allowed!!
ATARI TEXT, DISK NUMBER UTL005. This is a TELETEXT
simulator, designed to display disk magazines, documents and
catalogues. It is used by the Atari Update User Group to
display their diskzine on. It works in low and medium
resolution and is exactly like TELETEXT on the television.
Brilliant. Now you can compile your own diskzines! COLOUR
ONLY
AUDIOCALC, DISK NUMBER UTL002. This is a desk accessory for
musicians only. It allows them to calculate all the timing
and stuff in their music programs. Very useful.
BIG TEXT, DISK NUMBER UTL001. With this program you can
create letterheads and posters and print them out on a dot
matrix printer. It is a sort of stop gap between the DTP
program and word-processor. Several styles of text are
available as well as boxes and fill patterns.
DISKFREE, DISK NUMBER UTL002. A program which allows you to
keep track of how much disk space you are using and how much
you've got left. A desk accessory program.
EPS2CVG, DISK NUMBER UTL002. This is what is know as an EPS
converter. We don't know what this is. If you do, please
contact us!
EPSJET, DISK NUMBER UTL001. If you own a Deskjet printer,
this is for you. You can now use EPSON only programs, and
still print to your printer. Pop this in your auto folder
and it automatically changes Epson files to Deskjet files.
There is no increase in quality, though, you still get the
same quality output as you would from an Epson dot matrix. A
must for all Deskjet owners.
FASTCOPY III, DISK NUMBER UTL001. Come on! You all know what
this is. Fastcopy III is the BEST PD copier out.
FINDER, DISK NUMBER UTL001. With this, you can now find
those files hidden deep on your hard or floppy disks. Type
in the name of the file, something the file might have in it
or the date and Finder will do a search and report back to
you.
GENERAL GDOS, DISK NUMBER UTL001. Prints out and (I think)
converts GDOS files and fonts.
HPCHROME V1.5, DISK NUMBER UTL001. HP Chrome allows you to
print out your pictures in colour on a standard monochrome
Deskjet by swapping cartridges from Magenta, Cyan, Yellow
and Black. It will also work with bubblejets and standard
colour Deskjets. Now you can print out all those pretty
colour picture files. Caters for several picture files.
MEMWATCH, DISK NUMBER UTL001. Keep an eye on how much memory
you're using and how much you've got left with this auto
folder program.
NEWSDISK CREATOR, DISK NUMBER UTL003. Now you can create
your own disk magazines with this brilliant displayer
program. It's very, very good and comes with all the
programs required to get you started (Noisetracker, Typing
Tutor, 1st Word)
NOISETRACKER, DISK NUMBER UTL003. This has to be the best
soundtracker program in the PD. It is also in the SOUND
section but has been put in this section because it comes as
part of the NEWSDISK pack (see above!)
PROFILE, DISK NUMBER UTL002. This little GEM (Ha, ha ha!!! -
please excuse me) gives you all the stuff you need to know
about your system; how much memory you have, what TOS
version you have, what version of GEMDOS you have and so
on... Programmers - look out for this one!
PROTECT 6 VIRUS KILLER, DISK NUMBER UTL002. This is a
program which is put in the auto folder and then checks all
disks put in the drive to see if they have an executable
boot sector. If they do it warns you, and asks you if you
would like to destroy the boot sector (which could be a
virus). If it is OK, it will ask you if you want to protect
the disk. A brilliant program. DON'T USE THIS ON GAMES DISKS
- YOU COULD RUIN YOUR GAMES!!!
RDE RAMDISK, DISK NUMBER UTL001. This is a reset-proof
ramdisk. It's one of the best on the ST market. You can
load, save and create ramdisks to any drive letter (except A
and B, of course). It survives resets and is very useful if
you only have one drive.
READER 2, DISK NUMBER UTL001. Ever been in a program and
wanted to read a file? Well, now you can with Reader 2. It
is a desk accessory that allows you to read files from disks
in the middle of programs. Very useful indeed.
RENAME IT!, DISK NUMBER UTL001. A program that allows you to
rename files with lowercase (small) letters and non-standard
symbols like the TM and copyright signs.
SEBRA, DISK NUMBER UTL002. This is the best high resolution
emulator in the PD market. It allows colour monitor owners
to use high resolution programs on their computers. It has
several settings for clarity and speed. COLOUR ONLY.
SELECTRIC, DISK NUMBER UTL002. A good replacement file
selector that allows you to copy files, rename them and
format disks. A brilliant replacement for the standard GEM
one.
SPRINT, DISK NUMBER UTL002. A very nice printer accelerator
auto folder program. It speeds up printing by 50%. Works
best with dot matrix printers, although speed change is
noticeable on inkjets/bubblejets. Not for laser or page
printer owners.
ST ZIP V2.2, DISK NUMBER UTL004. The most famous file
compressor, archiver and dearchiver program there is. It is
very easy to use and can even create self-extracting
archives. Used by the glossy magazines, especially Atari ST
User.
TERADESK, DISK NUMBER UTL001. A good replacement desktop.
Allows you to do loads more than the GEM one. For example,
has loads of new icons which can be changed and is
compatible with TOS 2.06 icons, it also allows you to drag
icons onto the desktop, assign programs to function keys so
you can run the program of your choice, no matter if it's in
100 folders, by pressing a function key, and allows you to
view documents in a window. Has loads more than this,
though!
TYPING TUTOR, DISK NUMBER UTL003. This program teaches you
how to type superfast. Very useful and does work with
practice.
Z_FOLDER, DISK NUMBER UTL001. This desk accessory allows you
to create folders from within programs. Useful. MONO ONLY.

the hell out of him to get some money. When you get the
money you can buy power ups like a MAP, BIG SHOT, OPPONENT
ON MAP and INVISIBILITY. It's all brilliant. And it has a
very nice soundtrack. You can link up to 16 STs together and
