- Hi folks!
-
- After a discussion with Detlef Roettger (one programmer of Crack Art)
- I will summarize the status of Crack Art:
-
- - The programmers are still busy to update Crack Art. (now again - because
- a lot of users have asked them to do that...)
- - The actual version number is 1.25 (1.30 will be released about Oct 92)
- - Some of the new features:
- + more effects
- + printer driver (e.g. NEC, HP-Deskjet) color!
- + boot-dumper (start your game, press reset and grab the graphics)
- + load and save GIF (actual only 320*200, but the programmers are still
- working on it)
- + support of Scanner (optional - not in distribution package)
- + two more games (tetris, pacman)
- + better menus etc.
- + lot of bug fixing (have you ever find one of them?)
- - running on all STs, TTs etc. - some problems while running on Falcan 030:
- block-operations crashes and some problems with fill-styles :-(
- - new extra programs (not only crackart.prg+doc)...
- - more than 1 MB Ram strongly recommended! (otherwise you only have one
- or two screens)
- - no english manual to the latest version, yet. (but a new, longer german
- doc)
-
- In the issue 10/92 of the german ST-Magazin there will be an article
- about Crack Art.
-
- The version 1.22 is avaible on Maxon-PD-Disk 550.
- The version 1.25 is avaible via the programmers and will be on the
- ftp-site sun.rz.tu-clausthal.de (139.174.1.3) next week.
- (I will post a second messages after uploading it).
- The version 1.30 will be released about end of Oct 92.
-
- For further information contact the authors directly (and pay your
- shareware fee ;-) )

- The authors DO except foreign shareware fees! (someone droped me a note
- this would not be so: you are wrong!)
-
-
- Hope this helps.
- Please try to contact the authors directly. I only meet Detlef once a
- month... thanks.
