ST NEWS Volume 2 Issue 5
Released on Saturday, July 25th 1987
Dedicated to Willeke

Hi there to all you ST freaks!
 
May I present you our newest issue of ST NEWS: Volume 2 Issue 5,
containing many articles and a world-wide exclusive: Commodore
64 music!
 
How to copy this issue of ST NEWS:
 
The disk containing this issue of ST NEWS is maxi-formatted -
using 80 tracks of 10 sectors each. It can be copied using the
following copy programs:
 
  Fastcopy V1.00, V1.20 or V2.00 (disk def info YES)
  ST Copy V2.1 or V2.3 (not protected)
  ProCopy V1.11, V1.30, V1.32, V1.34, V1.40 or V1.41 (protected)
         This copy program is not full-proof when used on non-
         protected but maxi-formatted disks!
  GEM built-in copy option (target disk should be formatted with
         80 tracks of 10 sectors)
 
The disk is formatted single-sided and only uses tracks 0-79, so
compatibility with the weirdest makes of disk drives is actually
assured.
 
On this disk, you should find the following items:
 
In the AUTO folder:     TURBO.PRG
In the DATA folder:     CODE1.MC
                        CODE2.MC
                        CODE3.PC2
                        CODE4.MC - CODE7.MC
                        DOC01 - DOC44
In the PROGRAMS folder: BLOCKS.BAS
                        BOOT.ASM
                        BOOT.PRG
                        DEEPDISK.BAS
                        DRUMCOMP.BAS
                        RESOURCE.BAS
                        RESOURCE.H
                        RESOURCE.RSC
                        SCHELD.BAS
In the root directory:  DESKTOP.INF
                        READ_ME.TXT
                        ST_NEWS.PRG
 
All the files in the PROGRAMS folder belong to one or another
article in this issue of ST NEWS, except the file SCHELD.BAS,
which is meant as a bonus gift for our Dutch readers (just like
MINNAAR.BAS some months ago).
 
How to start up ST NEWS:
 
ST NEWS can be executed by pressing RESET with the ST NEWS disk
in drive A, and afterwards clicking on the ST_NEWS.PRG program
name twice with the left mouse button. If you're using a colour
system, it will automatically switch to the proper screen
resolution. A fastloader will be installed as well.
 
ST NEWS can also be booted up from drive B, harddisk or even from
a RAM disk, but please be sure to be in Medium resolution when
you're using a colour monitor or television. ST NEWS can even be
copied into another folder.
 
ST NEWS should work on every ST system on the market today, but
does not work with ST configurations that still have TOS on disk.
Sorry for that. Half a megabyte of memory (with TOS on ROM) will
still be sufficient.
 
ST NEWS is not copy-protected and may be copied freely, since it
belongs to the public domain. As a matter of fact - the more you
spread it the better it sounds to me!
 
I hope you'll enjoy reading ST NEWS (and listening to the fabulous
music)!
 
                          Sincerely,
 
                          Richard Karsmakers
                          (Editor of ST NEWS)
 
 
 
P.S. As you'll probably notice when you read the scrolling message
     included in this issue of ST NEWS, this issue is dedicated to
     THE most beatiful girl on earth - Willeke.
     I hope you do not feel offended by the way in which I give
     words to how much I love her (you never know). No X-Rated
     stuff, but I can imagine that - if you happen to be freshly
     in love yourself - you can feel a bit sick in the tummy
     after reading some of it. Let me give you one hint: Girls
     really like it when someone dedicates an entire computer
     program to them, so why don't you start programming yourself
     in that case?

Emulation note

To run with Hatari, use TOS 1.0

To run with STeem, use TOS 1.04 on monochrome only (it looks like it

       may actually never have worked on colour, all the text in the

       menus is screwed up)
