Art Gallery
-----------
By Charles F. Johnson
The original version of the Art Gallery had a bug that prevented it from
working on the Mega ROMs. This version fixes that problem, and will
run on any version of the ROMs. (For the curious, the bug was in the
routine which searches memory for the text "ITEM SELECTOR"...it ended up
searching too far and crashed on the Mega ROMs.)
To install Art Gallery, just copy the file ARTGALRY.ACC to the root
directory of your boot disk and restart your computer. (Or, if you own
MultiDesk, just load it into MultiDesk and run it.)
Art Gallery shows DEGAS, DEGAS Elite compressed, Neochrome, and TNY
compressed pictures. When you're viewing a picture, hit the left mouse
button or any key to return to the Art Gallery dialog box. Art Gallery fully
supports color rotation in any of the above formats, including DEGAS Elite's
multi-channel rotation.
Art Gallery has a rather unique ability that it shares with another
CodeHead product (MultiDesk); the very same file will run as either a desk
accessory or a program simply by changing its name from ARTGALRY.ACC to
ARTGALRY.PRG.
An expanded version of Art Gallery (version 2.0) will be offered on the
"CodeHead Utilities Disk," coming soon from CodeHead Software. Art Gallery
2.0 includes automatic slideshow capabilities, support for Spectrum picture
loading, and the ability to import pictures directly into DEGAS Elite.
(The CodeHead Utilities Disk will also contain a host of other useful
programs and desk accessories for various and sundry purposes. We expect it
to be available in early November.)

P.S. ....
Don't forget our other CodeHead products, G+PLUS and MultiDesk! G+PLUS
is a complete replacement for Atari GDOS that fixes many of GDOS'es problems
(and causes no system slowdowns) and adds great new features - such as the
ability to load a new ASSIGN.SYS file (with its list of fonts) anytime you
run a GEM program, and the ability to link ASSIGN files with their associated
GEM programs, automatically installing the correct fonts and device drivers
for each program you use! G+PLUS is fully compatible with all existing GDOS
applications, such as Timeworks Publisher, Easy Draw, Microsoft Word, WordUp,
etc. If you use any of these programs, or any other program that employs
GDOS, you *need* G+PLUS! The retail price of G+PLUS is $34.95.
MultiDesk is an innovative and flexible desk accessory loader/unloader
that lets you load an unlimited number of standard ST desk accessories into
a single drop-down menu slot, at any time! (Even from within a running
program!) From the desktop, you can load entire groups of desk accessories
(for example, a group of accessories for your word processor, a group for
your terminal program, one for your drawing program, etc.). You can
configure memory any way you desire, and allocate as much or as little
memory as you need to load your favorite accessories; then free up the memory
when you need more to run a program! MultiDesk is highly compatible with the
majority of standard ST desk accessories, including DAs that steal trap
vectors, and use the GEM message pipeline. Plus...MultiDesk can run as
either a desk accessory or a program, simply by changing its name from
MULTDESK.ACC to MULTDESK.PRG! When you run MultiDesk as a program, you can
load and run accessories as if they were programs too; without using up any
permanent RAM or a slot in the drop down menu. The retail price of MultiDesk
is $29.95.
