*** DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE OR THE PROGRAM WON'T WORK ***
This is the NEW disk magazine shell for the Falcon Owners Group
publication - FALCON UPDATE DIGITAL.
TESTED
The FOGMAG Shell has been tested (and works!) on the following
setups :-
Falcon030 TOS 4.01
Falcon030 TOS 4.02
Falcon030 TOS 4.04
4 meg memory needed
Hard Drive needed
NVDI recommended for faster screen updates
Works under NEODESK 4.0x and greater
Does NOT work with Screenblaster (yet)
Does NOT work with MultiTOS
WARNING
You will need to run FOGMAG.PRG on a S\VGA monitor in 16 colours, 80
columns with Double Line Off.
OR
If you must use a TV/RGB then you must put the monitor into
Overscan mode first, the program GAPOSCAN is provided for you.
Again you must be in 16 colours, 80 columns, interlace on.
>>> We ARE fixing this! <<<
We should release an RGB patch within the month
Issue 8 will be 100% RGB
We WILL have this problem solved but time is not something we
have much of at the moment, sorry.
PATIENCE
Please note that when you first load FOGMAG it will start the
music and then there will be a brief pause of typically 10-15
seconds during which the screen will be blank. Don't panic as the
program is simply setting up the title screen which will be
displayed after this delay. Just press the space bar to remove
the title page.
THE MENU
You have five menu boxes down the left hand side of the screen,
you can use the mouse to click inside them or you can press the
keys from 1 to 5 respectively. This will bring up a new selection
of options on the right hand side. You can then click on the
option you want with the mouse by pressing the left mouse button.
If there is nothing under that option then nothing will happen.
Some options lead to pictures, animations, other programs or text
files. Play and see.
HELP!
The HELP key will display a brief listing of the keys available
from the main menu. From here it will tell you how to choose
menus, turn the music on/off etc... Use the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to
exit the HELP menu.
INFO
Much like the HELP screen only it displays some important notes,
again use the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to exit this screen.
TEXT DISPLAYER
The old displayer was horrible! It has been replaced by the
excellent Revenge Document Displayer. There is full on-line help
but as a rough guide try pressing UNDO twice to quit back to the
magazine or the left mouse button to access the display and
printing functions.
PROBLEMS 'N SUGGESTIONS
If you get a 'nasty error' warning then it is most likely due to
the fact it can't find a specific file. If this is the case you
have an incomplete copy of FALCON UPDATE DIGITAL and should seek a
new one as soon as possible.
