===================================================================
DMC (Disk Mag Creator) GOLD IS NOW AVAILABLE FROM F1 LICENCEWARE :)
===================================================================
From the creator of the highly rated (95%) F1 Licenceware games:
The Ultimate Quiz Vols #1 & #2 and the coder of Moviezone and the
editor of Amoszine and ...... OK Eeeennnufff bragging :-)
DMC GOLD V2.3 now available (see later about update news)
For those of you that have never heard of DMC before, where have
you been?
DMC lets you create Disk Magazines like all the professionals, but
with one major advantage, no coding experience is required. Now
anyone can create disk mags as professional as Amoszine, Moviezone,
MAG E, Grapevine and all the rest, and then some .....
Features of DMC GOLD include:
Text articles which use up to 15 colours
7 non-flashing and 8 flashing
Text colours can be switched on/off
Split Screen text articles (as seen in the above named mags)
Secret Articles (Encrypted for security)
Up to 7 ClipArt pictures can be shown alongside your text articles
easily. ClipArt pics use 16 colours !!! :^)
Three music mods can be played and switched on/off
Up to 10 Intro Pics can be shown
DMC can also display pictures from the Index in two modes, DMC
Display (pic shown between top info screen and user panel) or now
full screen display (DMC is hidden from view)
Create your very own user panel (customise to your needs)
Fully control the titles atop each Index Page
Fully control text colours on Index Pages
Fully control the mouse pointer's colours
DMC GOLD is 100% compatible with data files that are crunched with
Crunch-Mania by Thomas Schwarz (The best Amiga file cruncher EVER!)
This will give you extra disk space for more articles and pictures.
DMC can be controlled by mouse and/or keyboard
Full in-built Help guide to shortcut keys
DMC can be run on any Amiga and can be loaded from either CLI,
WBench or run from Startup-Sequence for auto-booting disks.
DMC is now multi-tasking and can be toggled to/from WB/CLI so you
can let other programs run in the background
DMC has many error checking routines to stop it crashing your
system. Very intelligent and will even tell you of any errors
All articles displayed can be output to your printer and all colour
codes will not be output to paper (what you see on screen is what
is printed - except ClipArt and Pictures)
The list is endless! Too many features to list here.
DMC GOLD is supplied on two disks.
BOOT DISK: This disk holds the main program and all required files
to get you started. Just use this disk to
create/release your very own productions.
EXTRAS: Loads of example files to help you. Also includes the DMC
ARTICLE TESTER which lets you test your articles. It will
even convert them to many DMC formats such as Secret and
Split-Screen etc. The DMC Article Tester can also be used
to load in articles crunched with CMania and then lets you
save them back to disk as normal un-crunched files.
Also supplied with DMC GOLD is the full A5 Printed manual. 30+
pages to guide you through creating your first DMC production(s).
Written by the author of DMC GOLD to ensure the best help is on
hand - ALWAYS.
Whatsmore, you even get a plastic sleeve to keep it all in! Now
both your manual and disks are safe from nuclear fallout, erm, well
maybe not! hehehehehe :^)
Future updates to DMC GOLD will be available cheaply via F1
Licenceware only and at a reasonably low price, so no need to worry
about splashing out wads of money in the future.

UPDATE NEWS:
^^^^^^^^^^^^
The author of DMC, Andy Gibson, has been updating DMC since it's
first release back in June 1994. Andy listens to ALL DMC users and
it is thanx to their comments/suggestions that DMC GOLD is where it
is today. Currently on V2.3, DMC GOLD is only lacking two features
which are: AGA Support and a SEARCH facility!
The AGA Support will come as soon as Andy can get hold of the
routines. This will allow DMC to display AGA screenmodes and
anything else Andy can include to do with AGA.
The SEARCH Facility has just been written by Andy and will be
included in future updates of DMC GOLD. This feature had to be
written for all the PD Libraries that use DMC to display their PD
Disk Listings. Now the user can search for a special disk by name
instead of looking through vast amounts of text. (COMING SOON)
However, if you can't wait for the update disk to be released, Andy
will be only too happy to update your code (DMC GOLD V2.3 only) to
include this neat routine. Just send him your DMC GOLD BOOT DISK
and return postage. All Andy asks in return is for some PD
software or some blank disks. No money needs to be paid. Nice one
Andy :^) A real genuine guy with a really generous offer too.

So, you may be thinking to yourself that a package such as this
would set you back about £20-£30! It should! Luckily for you it
doesn't!

community the best value for money all round. That is why DMC GOLD
has been released at the silly low price of only £6.99 + 75P
postage. (£1.50 postage if outside UK)
The author of DMC will receive a 25% royalty payment from F1
Licenceware for every copy sold.
DMC GOLD is now available directly from F1 Software at 1 Lower Mill
