Disk Maggie 11 by Maggie Team

                 Escape from the Planet Testicle

Dateline 26/5/93.....

This looks like the issue of Maggie that nearly got away, it still 
may  get  away from the Delta Force H.Q.  But rather than let  all 
these  articles  go  to waste,  here it is,  Maggie 11,  the Rebel 
Edition.....

These are mostly articles written during the last quarter of 1992, 
including  a  lot of anguish expended on the  No.1  subject,,  the 
Atari Falcon...  Why,  when, what to have for dessert, who is your 
uncle and what is he doing with that chainmail bodystocking???

There are some new articles too,  including the very latest Falcon 
software list, which now manages an impressive eighty-plus items.. 
These are OFFICIAL and in writing, and are not merely tall stories 
or  Bulletin  Board  Rumours...  Of these,  twenty are games,  the 
majority  of  the others are creative packages of  the  sort  that 
fully  justify a 32-bit computer with a DSP,  there are  rendering 
packages  due  that  use the DSP for  calculations,  I  personally 
cannot wait until 'Eclipse',  the new game by Eclipse is ready, as 
this  promises  to  use the  DSP  and  true-colour  texture-mapped 
graphics!!!

Anyway, read on....

Bollocks  on what I am doing this minute????  Trying to watch Sean 
Bean  in a period costume drama jobbie where it is written in  his 
contract that he strips down to waist level every seven minutes...
(This original draft on the 12/5/93..)

Also trying to write this as well... (Slowly)

You will be pleased to find the first Falcon stuff on Maggie, with 
the various versions of 'Falcboot' which let you turn off bits  of 
your Falcon that get in the way of behaving like the good ol' (Yes 
indeed, old!) ST that you knew..

The other program for the Falcon, a demo program which can use the 
DSP  chip (If present) for ultra-fast fractal  calculations...  It 
takes  eight seconds with the DSP,  a lot longer with just an ST.. 
(Yes it will work on any ST, TT. or Falcon..)

The stunning Pro-Tracker has now reached version 2.0,  with an STE 
version that can play at the magic 50khz, and a STFM version which 
is not too bad either,  loads of new options, and the chance to do 
some very weird things with the menu...

Furthermore,  MUG  UK's Multi-Depacker version 2.0.  (A bit old by 
now,  but  still  useful..)  And a very idiosyncratic  debut  into 
unusual STE codes by a good friend, of mine (Puts on Jimmy Tarbuck 
voice..)
