Introduction   : Autark is a new mag. You know, with articles and stuff. The
                 responsible persons for this mag are n-Factor and YOU of
                 course. We decided to releases this preview in order to let
                 you have an impression of what the final mag will look like,
                 the interface is fully operational. We haven't set a deadline
                 for the final release date yet, as we won't most probably be
                 able to stick to it, but it will be released as soon as we
                 think it's ready, this depends on the amount of articles,
                 votes, messages and adverts, so we'd like you to send some.
                 One thing Autark will feature is a corner for political
                 discussions (hey, don't even dare to think that the demoscene
                 and politics are not related in any way, just remember all the
                 discussions about the french nukes in DGI for example).
                 But this doesn't mean that we won't include any 'bullshit'
                 texts, write whatever you want, but don't forget: your name
                 will be published next to it :)
                 The only language allowed for articles is English, of course
                 you can write in your mother tongue in messages or addies.

Technical Infos: The mag requires a 386 computer. As the 640x480x16 mode is used
                 a vga is sufficient. The soundsystem included in the mag is
                 the same used in our Digitrakker (which you should get btw., if
                 you don't have it), so all the following cards are supported:
                 + Gravis Ultrasound (GUS, GUS Max, GUS Ace)
                 + Soundblaster (1.0, 1.5, 2.0)
                 + Soundblaster Pro
                 + Soundblaster 16

                 The maximum size for one page is 38x21 characters, the
                 maximum size for graphics is 304x320 pixels, please supply the
                 graphics in 8 greyscale colors.
                 Go ahead, make use of this feature, there are lots of
                 possibilities, you could include a picture of yours or
                 you could explain some steps of a picture with images
                 of the steps being shown. The best entry will win
                 a tin of Karlsquell.


The interface  : The interface is totally gfx-based, so there are some advanced
                 features available for writing your articles:
                 + choose of different fonts and sizes
                 + shadows

                 + include up to 200 graphics into your article
                 + text and graphic alignment
                 + proportional texts
                 + much more

                 The whole mag can be controlled by keyboard as well as by mouse
                 with the mousecontrol being positionsensitive.
