Great news! Sub Hunter is available to
pre-order, its interesting for a
supposedly dead machine that so much
software is both available and readily
being developed!
Last month saw an improved Html
version of the magazine, this was
mainly pushed from Jason Kelk
www.commodorecomputerclub.co.uk as the
webpage of the magazine is mirrored on
this website. Jason contacted me to
say the Html had rouge characters odd
spaces and would not work in all
browsers. I worked with a very patient
Jason to resolve the issues finally
settling on doing the HTML coding by
hand, it wasn't very difficult and led
to a far better version of the
magazine. Previously and because of
time restraints I had used an
application that converted the text
into Html by just clicking a button,
this was obviously a mistake. I am
however concerned that no one
contacted me before to complain they
couldnt read the Html version in xyz
browser, although it was tested in
internet explorer I didnt have time to
test it with anything else. Jason
although not fully excited about the
Html version declared that it would be
ok and stripped out 2k of extra
spaces, although Jason is patient and
curtious I am sure he felt like just
telling me where to get off, it does
show what a great person he is to be
so controlled, especially as he was
busy on his own projects, so thanks
Jason.
Last month saw the production of a
more streamlined version, this gave a
few well needed results, I managed
some spell checking, an although it
may not have been perfect I am sure it
was rather better than the pre-checked
version, I actually spent 3 hours
checking and reading the publication
before finalising it all into the
various versions. I am no spell
checker and would appreciate someone
re-reading my work, so if you feel
like volunteering speak up. If you
want you can do the work without being
named, whatever you like.
This issue see a final instalment of
the music tutorial from Richard
Bayliss in the form of an in-depth
look at music production using DMC
version 5. Thanks also go to Retro
gamer CD and Michael Bevan for
allowing Commodore Free the reprint
rights the LLAMASOFT - The Dromedary
Years article this issue sees part 1
with the conclusion (part 2 ) in next
months issue We continue our in the
beginning series of tutorials for new
users of Commodore machines and
finally we have an interview with the
creator of Commodore 64 .prg Generator
Ok I need to do some spelling and
Grammar checking so thats me out with
the fairies for the next 3 hours see
you next month.
