- Well as the coder of this new mag I
- better say a few words concerning the
- production of ±13'Headline'×.
-
- The diskmag code was developed as you
- might already have noticed after the
- same concept as RAW. Personally I am
- in the opinion that the layout of RAW
- is absolutely the best of all the
- available diskmags. This mainly
- because you can scroll the screens
- softly, while listening to a nice
- atmospherical song, and only look at
- quality graphics. Our intensions
- concerning the 'Headline' production
- is just the same.
-
- The 'Headline' project began about
- three or four months ago. I think it
- was me who long had the idea of
- making such a mag. Around christmas
- 1992 I just started to program what I
- would call the program structure -
- mainly a complete plan over how I
- would call up the functions in a
- system. The system itself should
- also be easy to develope further on
- in the future. But since we (Bcr &
- me) were the only ones in our
- nameless group, the programming had a
- long delay. Some months later when
- we got 8 more members in our group
- (the BEST ones from Atomic) Stone
- Arts suddenly came to life. Now the
- mag project was reopened and I had to
- program the rest of it. But also
- during the process of coding this
- mag, I faced a ±12problem× wich gave me a
- lot of headache (well..almost!). I
- simply won't bother you with any
- boring details, but take a good
- advice and ±12NEVER-EVER USE THE
- BYTEKILLER PACKER/DEPACKER!×
- The packer/depacker which is used now
- is ±12StoneCrackerV2.99×. This packer is
- probably one of the best packers
- available for good and fast text
- packing/depacking.
-
- The next issue of Headline will
- probably feature some small
- adjustments, like the option to
- select modules from the menupanel,
- new menugfx, more fonts, and maybe
- even an editor tool which makes it a
- lot easier to write articles and
- advertisements. I will also make an
- option to load hi-res 16 color
- pictures (this I didn't add now
- because there were NO graphics to
- use!!). Still I'm a little bit
- concerned that everybody will
- understand the Prog. and Mode
- function, but if you don't please
- read the help manual!
-
- If anybody for any reason wonders how
- long the ±12modules× are, the ones used
- in this issue are 135K(125 propacked)
- and 120K (105 propacked). Maximum
- module length now can be somewhere
- about 150-170K I think if it ought to
- work properly on an A500 wiht 512K
- fake-fast ram. The modules are
- packed with prorunner, and ofcourse
- also played with the prorunner
- replayroutine.
-
- ±13Headline× should work on most Amiga
- computers and should easily been
- installed on your ±12harddisk×. Just
- make sure to use the right
- assignments.
-
- If any serious ±12software bugs× should
- occure, please let me or the main
- editor know immediately. Your
- participation will be highly
- appreciated.
- Now enjoy your reading, and be sure
- to catch our ±12next issue×.
-
- Are you interested in dropping me a
- letter for swapping or anything else
- just write to the following address:
- In the next issue I will give you my
- Internet address. (But I'm usually
- around the Amiga channels!)
