You are correct that ProRebel is a hacked ACopy, but it is also an illegal product. The one which I was describing is called ProGem, and is also an illegal product. Both have their origins within the Pirate subculture. They are both quite similar: They combine different versions of the same copy program under a common front end. They both allow one to create a file containing both the data and copy protection info from a disk. These files are then arced or lzhed and uploaded to boards. Sorry about the errata. I do not question your use of the program, I just wanted to make sure you knew where it originated. Incidentally, the reason that several versions of the same copy program are desired is kind of weird (at least unique to the ST, to my knowledge). Basically, if you have version 1.1 of some copy program, it can copy some set X of programs. If you get 1.2, it can copy some set Y of programs. However, even though 1.2 is newer, it is not generally true that X is contained within Y. That is, the older one will copy some stuff that the newer one cannot?!? Strange, as you would think that the newer versions would only add capability . . . -- ---------------------------------+------------------------------------- Mickey R. Boyd | "Kirk to Enterprise.

I have decided to go this route rather than upgrading for it is much cheaper. However, I do realize the consequences of going with these older out dated computer systems. Can someone tell me which is the best BBS program for each one of these computer systems, and which setup (hardware wise) would be best to use. I would appreciate it very much. I pretty much know on most of the setups what is required, but would like to know more and would also like some Sysops opinions on the different BBS packages if possible.

When I switched to a TTM195 mono monitor, I could no longer boot my system with GDOS (a screen message would say that GDOS 1.1 was resident but 2 bombs would appear during the desk accessory loading step). I tried rewritting the assign.sys file dozens of ways (see the example at the end of this posting) but the system still crashes. What the heck do I have to have in my assign.sys file to get GDOS to load properly? For netland information, YES, all the drivers and fonts ARE in the path specified by the path statement! The fonts (except metafonts) and drivers are from my Timeworks DTP software. The metafonts are from my LDW software. Crashes occur even when I strip all AUTO programs out except GDOS and when all accessories are inactivated. Crashes occur whether or not NEOLOAD is run from the AUTO folder. If I do run NEOLOAD, when the system crashes I get the following diagnostic page: A bus error occurred (2 bombs) d0:00000000 a0:21FC0000 d1:00058E62 a1:00E37F00 d2:00000000 a2:0005A0F0 d3:00000001 a3:000031A2 d4:00000000 a4:000059E4 d5:00000000 a5:00E00EF2 d6:00000000 a6:0000BC4A d7:00000000 a7:0000BBE2 ssp:0000BBE2 usp:0003DE2E instr:FFFFB008 sr: 16EE = pc:076D66F2 Does anyone know what to do???????

This may sound contradictory, but V3 is such an improvement over V2 (even with a few bugs and no docs) that we had to release it. There should be a new version along in a few months, but we both have very little free time at the moment. To speed the release of the "real" V3.0 we would greatly appreciate receiving any bug reports on V3.0 pre-release. Particularly, what programs it doesn't work with, and how it fails. Indication of problems with the interface would also be appreciated. ---------- T.

I had a hard time finding these, and finally found the drivers in Germany, so I thought I'd put them on atari.archive. The directions are in German, and I can't read German, but I got it to work by just unlzhing all the font files it creates in the directories it created. You need to unlzh it with an unlzh'r that knows about directories. I never figured out what the install program does. The files are: 24pin1.lzh 24pin2.lzh and should be in atari/newitems on atari.archive.umich.edu Now, a couple questions. About a month ago, someone mentioned a screen saver/mouse doubler from the makers of hotwire called hotsomething and said that they uploaded it to atari.archive, but I haven't seen it show up. Also, superboot 6.0 was posted, along with the sbsounds file, but the utilies archive file mentioned in the documentation hasn't shown up at atari.archive. Does anyone know about either of these, and if so, could you upload them to atari.archive?

This issue is just a test issue, so if you find this newsletter interesting, please send us a message. This is a monthly newsletter for both Portfolio and Lynx users. We will try to cover all the new software that is beeing released for both machines, but we are also planning to do tips, previews, news and a letter page. to test all newly released software for the Lynx, we have made a nice little deal with the local Fun Tronics store. They are now officially supporting us. On the Portfolio front we have a PC expert. He calls most BBS' every day, so if new Portfolio software is released, you'll be the first one to know. Y.T.Kohl Editorial assistant ALL THE LATEST NEWS...(AND GOSSIP) ---------------------------------- The NEC TurboExpress will not be released in Europe. This is done because the Lynx is far more popular over here, and because the PC Engine never made it to Europe! This means that here, in Europe, NEC is out of the race and the Lynx has won again!!! Hurrah!!!! More and more shop's are selling the Lynx in Holland, the shop's that are selling the Game Boy are now selling the Lynx along with it.It will not be long untill the Lynx will have won definately (The price has already dropped from HLF 500 to HLF 300, the Lynx II will be HLF 200) A Portfolio II is in production. The only thing we know about it is that it will be an improved version of the old model. More info when we have it. Release dates for the Lynx II have yet to be set(for Europe), but we expect to see it in England this Christmas, and early 1992 in the rest of Europe. In the US it has already been released, at $99,-. Here follows a list of the Lynx games currently available. if a game is not yet for sale at your local dealer, you know that the game is on it's way. Here comes: California Games Rampage Chip's Challenge Klax Zarlor Mercenary Gates of Zendocon Xenophobe Electrocop Gauntlet III Blue Lightning Slime World Paperboy Road Blasters Ms.Pacman Rygar Shanghai RoboSquash RoboSquash - LYNX Review - OUT NOW ---------------------------------- Remember PONG? No? Well, think back, about ten years back. Pong, a game where you slide your bat to the left and to the right to catch a bal, which then bounces away the blocks above. RoboSquash is exactly the same, except for some gameplay enhancements, and the addition of an extra demention. In other words, RoboSquash is 3-D Pong with power-ups. You can play against the computer, or challenge a friend. The latter is the only thing that makes RoboSquash reach the AVERAGE accolade. And this is indeed a very average game, almost below average. PONG was great when it was released.... in the beginning of the '80s! But please, leave these games in the decade where they were born! Get real! it's 1991 and an improved version of Pong is just not enough to keep today's gameplayers happy! Graphics _6 : Simple but functional Sound _3 : Sound hasn't improved much since Pong!!! Playability _7 : Quite playable at first Lastability _4 : After a few goes inerest starts to wane Overall _5 : A pathetic attempt at resurrecting an ancient game Blue Lightning - LYNX review - OUT FOR A LONG TIME -------------------------------------------------- Blue Lightning is out since the beginning of the Lynx, it's a good flight- simulator and demonstrates the great scaling features of the Lynx. The game play is good (very fast play), but it does not really stand out from the other flight simulators. There are nine missions, each with a different goal like attacking radar bases, nightflights and dogflights. There is no music, but who wants to hear music, you're supposed to be flying an airplane, the only sound you hear are those of the plane and your gun. Overall it's quite nice (graphics are stunning), but it's adviced to buy it at a reduced price, unless you really want it. Graphics _8 : Beautyfull, detailled and fast Sound _6 : No music but it does not bore Playability _7 : Game play is very good/fast Lastability _7 : Missions are just right (not to easy and not so hard so you give up Overall _7 : Great, one of the nicest simulators I've ever seen SWAPPING SERVICE ---------------- Here follows a list of games that are for sale, if you want to buy or sell games please mail to the address below (please state your address when you place an add, your address will be printed too). FOR SALE: Gauntlet III Rygar Xenophobe These games cost $18,- including postage and packing, if someone wants to TRADE them for NINJA GAIDEN or BLUE LIGHTNING that's ok. All our games are brandnew and are beeing legaly imported! Internet-address: a15@nikhefh.nikhef.nl GAMING TIPS ----------- Chip's Challenge The code for level 144 is GVXQ. also worth a try if you are a maths freak, is the code MAND. This will enter the hidden Mandelbrot explorer. A tip on using it: all buttons have a function! Xenophobe The Poofer gun is the most powerfull. it may have a very short range,but if you want to survive till the very last level, give it a try! Zarlor Mercenary - a players guide: At the start of the first level you'll find a laser, an auto fire and speed. To destroy the most aliens you must put the palm of your hand on the lowest A- button and press the B-button with your thumb, so you shoot your cannons and laser at the same time (autofire is needed). End of level guardians: The first and second guardians are easy, just keep moving to avoid the bullets (and lasers on, level 2) and don't stop shooting. On level 3 there are 3 end of level guardians, just keep flying above the center, so you can't be hit by the lasers, you'll be hit by all the mines and bullets but if you use mega bombs you'll make it through. On level 4 you must shoot all the balls first (watch out, when they explode they will shoot one bomb at you) after you've done that you must shoot the big ball in the center, there will be about ten ships coming out of it (mega- bomb is adviced). Level 5 is not special, just shoot it and watch out for the alien ships that fly around. Use all your megabombs on the last end of level monster, when it still lives use your laser, so you can hit it any time you like. Shopping: Buy whatever you need, if you have money left, use it to buy extra things on the first 3 levels. Sell every thing you don't need after level 5, that's where you make the most profit. My high-score is 3,56 million Zarbits (Supreme Mercenary). PORTFOLIO --------- This month only a small section, but we will have large reviews next month. A hot item to look out for is the harddisk for the portfolio. This 20 MB harddisk is about 1cm high and easily clicks under the portfolio itself. this makes the portfolio about 2cm high, but it doesn't make it any bigger. The only problem with this item is the fact that it runs on batteries. the harddisk does make the storage capacity of the portfolio quite large,and therefore makes it more like a PC. If you just love small machinery, you'll love this harddisk, but we doubt it very much if normal people will really find this thing worth the bucks. Here's some hot news for programming freaks!!! A basic has just been released for the portfolio. PBasic, as it's called, is saved in compressed, downloadable form on CIS and GEnie, in a file called PBas1.zip. You'll need the archiving tool called zip to unzip the file first. To order PBasic 3.0 on RAM card (if you don't have access to a PC), send a RAM card of 64K or bigger size, and a self-addressed stamped mailer for return posting to the following address: BJ Gleason The American University CSIS 4400 Massachusetts Ave. N.W. Washington D.C. 20016 We'll have a full review on it next month. All I'll tell you now is that PBasic is compatible with Quickbasic, so that means that you can now program while on the run!!! Mega great!!! There are also some extra portfolio-only commands!! Just wait one month and you'll hear all about it!! P.S. There is also a Basic in production made by Atari self (this will not be a public domain basic!). Well that's all for this month. If you have any suggestions or tips for improvements in this newsletter, just mail us. Yiri and Tjerk. (P.S.

I have a major problem with Spectre: I made a customized keyboard map for finnish keyboard, named it DEFAULT.KEY and saved it to the same level with SPECTRE.PRG. There is a copy of it at the ETC-folder also. All this is located to my D: harddisk in a folder named SPECTRE. I launch my Spectre from a SPECTRE.PRG icon located at the NeoDesk desktop. First time I started with this keyboard map, the keyboard in Mac-mode was all mixed up. The "Keyboard" -accessory does not show the numeric keypad, it shows the old Mac Plus keyboard with no keypad instead. The bottom line having Z, X, C,... etc. has shifted to the left by one key, so if I press N, I got B etc. And there is no space bar and almost all special keys, including the space bar, act like RETURN. The keyboard was ok (until I made this .KEY), except and '/* keys were switched (the " ' " and " * " came from lower left corner and " < " came from left to the Backspace), so I tried to fix this, because I use these keys a lot. After I made this .KEY file, it went mixed. I also removed all files affecting to the keyboard layout from my Mac system folder, and zeroed the settings for keyboard. I tried to restore the situation before this, but no success. No matter what I do, the keyboard stays mixed up. So, please give me instructions how this .KEY file becomes activated, what are the required operations/files/paths in ST-mode, and what are the required settings/files in Mac mode. The keyboard my ST has is the Swedish keyboard (it is the official one in Finland too).

Thanks Steve, but I already tried what you suggested (as per Ron Grant's original posting) and it did not work. re: daisy chaining drives on the DMA, I had the same problem so I called my ICD supplier. You have to ensure that you remove the parity jumper on the drive that is to be daisy chained (I do not know where this is on a Supra drive). Once the jumper is removed, the install devices function should automatically put up icons for the second drive. Call Supra if you have any problems. BTW, the 19" Atari TTM195 monitor is SUPERB. SO much so that when I sat down in front of an SM124 monitor again my first reaction was I was looking at a med res colour monitor not a high res ST monitor. Believe me, the TTM195 is GREAT. ------------------------------ Date: 14 Apr 91 11:46:25 GMT From: pa.dec.com!hollie.rdg.dec.com!ryn.mro4.dec.com!uninet!sievax.enet.dec.com!lerou x@decwrl.dec.com (Yves LE ROUX) Subject: who can fix this in U.K. ? To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu Yesterday, after having loaded a new disk, my son lost the control of his Atari 512 STe . We cannot input anything from the keyboard or the mouse. Disk drive is functioning normally. This is a brand new computer serial number A10AA 3043174. We reset the ST and the problem remains. We can do nothing. This looks like a virus problem. I am resident in U.K.. Do you know who I can be in touch with in order to fix this problem? Thanks & Regards Yves ------------------------------ End of Info-Atari16 Digest ******************************
