Ako je neko zainteresovan za polovne DD diskete neka me mailne. Sve diskete
su prošle format 82*10 iz prve, što znači da su ispravne :) Korišćene su do

da verovatno neće biti naše konferencije. Postavio sam pitanje zzivoticu hoće

I'm sorry I cannot help you. I wrote about this in the summer.
I read an article in a dutch atari-magazine about the Microbox and I was
interested what the rest of the atari-community had to say about it, so I
posted a message to the newsgroup. A long discussion followed, and most
people were very sceptical, especially since this rumour was not
substantiated by _any_ other source.
As it is, I haven't read the newsgroup for about six weeks now (busy) and
have not heard any recent, if any, news on the subject. For now, I myself
would not call it a _product_ but merely a rumour... Maybe some new facts
I don't know about have been established since the end of october ?
Upon request I can try to look up some of the posts concerning the matter
(summer 1995) but I would have to search for them.
About its chances: provided it, if ever, hits the market no later than
summer 1996 it has a chance. However, how much chance does a computer
have anyway if it's not a PC running M$-$oftware...?

Mile sve je OK. Ja sam se krivo izrazio. Hteo sam da mi kažeš nešto više o
mailing listama uopšteno. Na primer, kako se na njih pretplatiti, kako
saznati koje i kakve sve liste postoje i na koju adresu se obratiti.
Ja iako imam "internet" adresu, ona je preko akademske mreže (YU-Internet)
koja ne dozvoljava pretplaćivanje na mailing liste, kao ni korišćenje ftp
servera (ovo se sve odnosi na inostranstvo). Pa zato da te pitam jesi li se
ti pretplatio? Ako jesi neće ti biti teško da s vremena na vreme pošalješ
koju stranu. Nešto kao madamov za Mac.

mailova i fajlova sa Internetom. Tj., tamo izgleda nije zabranjeno
pretplaćivanje na mailing liste.

zastitu MMU, dok u MagiC-u toga nema (Zastita MMU - svaki program ima
svoj deo memorije u kojem radi tako da i ako padne ne padaju i ostali

bilo šta drugo. Nema recepta. Na javne liste je relativno lako
priključiti (pretplatiti) se, obavestiš administratora i gotovo. Sa
privatnim je znatno komplikovanije. Verovatnoća raste ako si prisutan
na Usenetu, nekom Fido BBS-u koji ima razmenu sa Internetom ili se
dopisuješ sa nekim ko te može preporučiti ili makar proslediti dalje
tvoju adresu. Zavisi i od toga koja su tvoja "posebna interesovanja"
(SIG). STNEWS je komercijalna lista firme TOAD i njima je u interesu
da se dočepaju što više adresa, obzirom da je njima lista u funkciji
public relations, tj. marketinga firme.
Na tvom mestu, ne bih puno brinuo za restrikciju sa mail listama na
Beointernetu, broj poruka je tako mali da ne bi ni primetili o čemu
se radi. Istina, postoji verovatnoća i za to, ali je mala obzirom da
su sve poruke koje sam ja do sada dobio bile - jednosmerne, samo oni
šalju poruke, nisam primetio da iko od pretplatnika odgovara, pa je
ukupan promet vrlo mali.
Mogao bi da probas preko Hobbiton BBSa, šalji mail Dragiši Đuriću

multdesk.lzhrazno.678mperic,
-> #661, madamovHobbiton... Može biti i neograničen, ako Dragiša odobri. On inače ima dva
pristupa Internetu, jedan preko YU domena (gde važe sve restrikcije koje
odredi SysAdmin u Beogradu) i drugi, preko računara Tesla u Čikagu. U ovom
drugom slučaju koristi neverovatnu, pravu američku adresu @ho.com (moja
alternativna adresa je mperic@prcko.ho.com, gde je "prcko" ime petničkog
servera).
Zahvaljujući Dragišinoj ljubaznosti nekoliko BBS-ova u YU i RS uredno
razmenjuje poštu sa Internetom direktnim vezama sa USA, bez onih glupih i
diskriminatorskih limita koje ovde postavljaju, i bez zaobilazne rute preko
Grcke i njenog racunara Pythia u Atini.
Zabavan podatak je da Dragiša radi u Zvorničkoj pošti i da ima otvorene linije
prema USA. Eto barem neke koristi od života u Republici Srpskoj. Zanimljivo je
da je zahvaljujući njemu formirana cela FREENET mreža i da je podrška koju im
on daje potpuno besplatna. Pravi čovek, na pravom mestu....
U ovoj poruci se nalazi najnoviji spisak sistema cülanova YU-FREEneta.
Polako, ali sigurno broj se sve visäe povcćava i pretpostavljam da cu josä

CÜini mi se da kolege sa BCa preuzimaju konferencije, ali nemam spisak svih

ima dve moderatorske funkcije, ova bi mu sigurno bila previse. Sa
druge strane, nije dobro da na oba sistema neko ima istu funkciju,
cisto zbog preplitanja odgovornosti. Ovo, inace, nije moj stav, vec

****Atari & JTS To Merge 02/14/96
SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1996 FEB 14 (NB) -- Atari Corp.
(AMEX:ATC) and JTS Corporation have agreed to merge the two
companies. Atari is the pioneer in multimedia video gaming and
JTS is a manufacturer of computer disk drives.
Under the terms of the agreement, the new corporation will
operate under the name of JTS Corporation and the officers of
JTS will become the officers of the merged company. The Atari
entertainment business and the JTS disk drive business will
operate as separate divisions.
Atari has extended a bridge loan to JTS in the amount of
$25 million. In the event that the merger is not finalized, the
bridge loan will be convertible into shares of Preferred Stock
at the option of Atari or JTS and subject to "certain conditions."
As a result of the transaction, Atari stockholders will hold
approximately 60 percent of the outstanding shares of the new
company following the merger. The transaction is structured to
qualify as a tax-free reorganization.
Virginia Walker, chief financial officer for JTS, told Newsbytes,
"Contrary to rumors, we do not expect to sell the video game division.
It is true, that by naming the new company JTS, and putting the JTS
management team in charge, we are announcing that the disk drive
manufacturing is expected to be the fastest growing section of the
new company."
The board of directors of Atari and JTS have approved the definitive
agreement. The merger is subject to "certain shareholder and regulatory
approvals" and "other conditions" to closing. The parties anticipate
the transaction will close toward the end of the second calendar
quarter of 1996.
JTS was formed in 1994 by Jugi Tandon, the company's current
chairman of the board. He will keep that position in the new
company. Tom Mitchell, president and chief executive officer of JTS,
was a cofounder of Seagate Technology and president and chief
operations officer of both Seagate and Conner Peripherals. He will
continue as president and chief executive officer with the new company.
Founded in 1994, JTS Corporation develops and manufactures hard
disk drives for the computer industry. JTS has recently introduced
its new three-inch Nordic product for the portable computer market.
Headquartered in San Jose, California, with manufacturing facilities
in Madras, India, JTS employees 1,300 people worldwide.

Šta ovo znači verovatno da još nikome nije jasno ;) Na žalost trenutno
smo prikraćeni za neki potpuniji izvor informacija. Ono što mene
interesuje i nikako ne nalazim logičan odgovor je što bi se jedan
proizvođač prevashodno hard-diskova integrisao sa Atarijem kao i zašto bi
se Atari integrisao sa jednim proizvođačem hard-diskova :) Ne vidim gde je
tu zajedničkli interes, sem ako ne misle da prave konzole za igru sa
izmenljivim hardovima od nekoliko Gb ;)

Sve se da srediti, samo da ti poruke budu lakše za praćenje :) Ovako,
što se tiče onih izlomljenih redova imaš ovde na Netu naredbu SET MARGIN.
Iskoristi je ;) Što se tiče jednog drugog problemčića a to je što se u
citiranom delu našla i linija koja označava kraj poruke mogu da ti
napomenem dve stvari :) Prva je da nema potrebe da uvek citiraš celu
poruku na koju odgovaraš već smo delove koji su bitni tj. omogućuju da se
prati rasprava. Drugo, u samo StarCall-u postoji jedan mali bagčić. Naime
kada definišeš blok, ako ga definišeš onako da se blok povećava za po
jednu liniju kako ti pomeraš miša na dole (nadam se da shvataš o kom
postupku govorim) StarCall pored onog zacrnjenog dela u blok ubaci i onu
liniju koja nije zacrnjena ali na kojoj je završio miš posle definisanja.
Lek je da kada definišeš blok dovedeš pointer tačno na _kraj_ reda koji je
poslednji u bloku. Jel rešen problem? :)

MagiC 4 and NVDI 4 Arrive
-------------------------
Last Thursday, the greatly anticipated programs NVDI 4 and MagiC 4
arrived at Toad Computers. Also included in the same shipment were HD
Driver, GT Look, DA's Picture, and others! If you had an order for any
of these products, expect them shortly. The first shipments began Friday
with more to follow on Monday.
Similarly, if you've been "holding off" until the products were actually
in stock, now is the time to order. While we had significant backorders
of each program, we have some stock remaining from the first shipment
and will have more coming next week. This is the time to buy.
Houston Atari Safari
--------------------
We are pleased to report a successful and enjoyable show in Houston,
Texas this weekend. The exhibitors were (in order of the tables!)
Gribnif Software, Trace Technologies, Toad Computers, Crawly Crypt,
Systems for Tomorrow, Chromagic, Branch Always Software, HACE (Houston
Atari Computer Enthusiasts) and other user group representatives.
We were able to take small quantities of MagiC 4, NVDI 4, HD Driver,
EASE 4, and other new programs for sale, and we also had a good time
demonstrating MagiCMac on a PowerBook 540c.
Finally -- a PORTABLE, COLOR Atari Compatible Computer -- and oh yeah,
it also runs Mac Apps!! On the 540c (68LC040 processor), GemBench placed
the display at 26 times the speed of an ST (in monochrome) and placed
the CPU at 15 times the speed of an ST. Now THAT's performance, my
friends!!
Anyway, the show was a great time. Anybody who thinks the Atari market
is dying obviously hasn't spent time with the myriad of dedicated users
from all over the country (world!) that use the ST to its fullest
potential.
The Potential of MagiC
----------------------
MagiC 4 represents a quantum leap forward in Atari OS technology. It
is essentially a reverse-engineered, rewritten and optimized TOS, but
with preemptive multitasking and incredible features like background DMA
disk formatting.
MagiCMac is a version of MagiC for the Macintosh. While it is not yet
as advanced as MagiC 4, it is completely compatible. What does this all
mean? Well, as Atari has dropped support for TOS and its future
development, MagiC is becoming the predominant standard to which
software must comply.
Because programs that are written to be compatible with MagiC are
also generally compatible with MagiCMac, there is a much greater
potential market size for such programs. As such, developers are
realizing that MagiC/MagiCMac -- not TOS -- is the new standard. Notice
that almost every new Atari program that has been released in the last
year is not just TOS compatible, but it's MagiC/MagiCMac compatible
too.
This weekend in Houston, we spoke with Keith Gerdes of Trace
Technolgies about support for Aladdin under MagiCMac. This is something
he is working on. Dan Wilga of Gribnif gave me a patch to make NeoDesk
compatible with MagiCMac -- it's already compatible with MagiC. If you
would like to get a copy of the NeoDesk MagiCMac patch, you can download
it from:
ftp://ftp.toad.net/pub/atarist/magicmac/neo4patch.zip
Anyway, the tide is turning. It used to be that MagiC was a curiosity --
something you would run with a handful of programs to get
higher performance. Now, it's becoming a standard, and Atari users will
benefit!!
NEW!! Positive Image Photo Retouching Software
----------------------------------------------
Toad Computers is pleased to announce that Positive Image, the much
awaited image/photo manipulation software from FloppyShop in Scotland
will soon be available through Toad Computers. Place your orders now at
the special introductory price of just $99.95! The regular price will be
$129.95!!
Positive Image will be available soon. There is a demo version available
now at ftp://ftp.toad.net/pub/atarist/swdemos/floppyshop/pos_demo.zip.
Also available in the same FTP directory are demos of other Floppyshop
programs Family Roots II, EZ-Art Professional and EZ-Stitch; we'll have
more news on them shortly. Please contact us via email if you have any
questions!!
**********************************************************************
Positive Image by Stephen Found
-------------------------------
Program Type:- Photographic Image Processing and Retouching
System: Any TOS based computer. STE, TT and Falcon enhanced.
Memory Required: 1024k
Display Type: Any
Price: $99.95 (Intro Price - normal price $129.95)
**********************************************************************
Floppyshop are delighted to announce the forthcoming release of
Positive Image, a high end image processing tool developed primarily
for the Atari TT and Falcon 030. Positive Image has come about as a
result of extensive research into professional photographic image
retouching packages on non-Atari machines. The result is an image
processing studio, such as has never before been seen running on Atari
computers!
Positive Image runs on any TOS based computer but is enhanced to take
full advantage of the improved hardware on the STE, TT and Falcon,
especially the DSP on the Falcon. The blitter (if present) is also
used to maximum effect. There are two versions of Positive Image,
one for 68000 based ST/e's the other for 68030 machines (including
PAK 68/3 accelerated ST/e's and Apple Macintosh machines running
MagiC Mac). The basic 68000 version contains all the features of its
big brother, being limited only by the slower processor speed and
lower resolution displays. If your ST/e, TT or Falcon has a
processor accelerator or graphic card fitted, this too will be used
to its fullest capabilities.
Positive Image is the ONLY GEM based image processing program to
allow the editing of 24-bit True Colour graphics on an ordinary ST
in any resolution (including low res!). A high spec system is not
necessary in order to run Positive Image, but the program will take
full advantage of the increased processing power if it is there!
The following is a list of the program's main features: System
Compatibility
* Minimum requirements: 1 Meg of RAM only, 4 Meg of RAM (or more)
and a hard drive are recommended for serious use.
* Supports all screen resolutions (including ST low res) on the
ST/e, TT and Falcon including overscan, all virtual screen drivers
and the various resolution boosters such as Autoswitch Overscan on
the ST and all known hardware and software resolution boosters on
the Falcon 030.
* Compatible with all official releases of TOS (1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6,
1.62, 2.05, 2.06, 3.05, 3.06, 4.01, 4.02, 4.04) and the developer
version of 4.92.
* Fully compatible with GDOS 1.1, AMC GDOS, FontGDOS, FSM GDOS,
SpeedoGDOS v4, SpeedoGDOS v5 and NVDI 3/4 with regard to both font and
printer support.
* Compliant with all 100% GEM compatible graphics cards.
* Fully compatible with MagiC Mac.
* Fully compatible with Gemulator.
* Supplied in two versions for the different models in the Atari
range. The basic program runs on any Atari and the 68030 version runs
on any 68030 or 68040 based TOS compatible system and takes
advantage of the DSP in the Falcon.
Multi-Tasking Features
* Fully compatible with Multi-TOS, Geneva and MagiC.
* Supports extended AES messages from Multi-TOS, WinX, Geneva and
MagiC 3/4.
* Supports the Xacc and AV protocols for sending messages between
programs.
* Support for Multi-TOS and MagiC 3/4's drag and drop protocol
whereby a group of images are dragged onto an open window and are
all loaded in a single operation.
General Features
* Extensive file support allows the following graphic formats
to be imported: AIM, Degas, Windows and OS/2 Bitmap, EZ-Art Pro,
IFF (including Deluxe Paint ST, standard HAM, high res HAM, HAM6,
HAM8, HAM12 and 24-bit HAM), IMG (including HyperPaint X-IMG and
conventional X-IMG), InShape, Imagelab, JPEG, MTV Raytrace,
NeoChrome, PC Paintbrush, Photochrome, Portable Network Graphic
(PNG), Prism Paint, True Paint, Spectrum 512 (both 50hz and 60hz
pictures), TrueVision Targa, TIFF v6 (including CCITT fax and JPEG
support) and Tiny.
* Saves out in most popular formats including TIFF, BMP, JPG, PNG,
TGA, XIMG, EZA, P?1 and NEO amongst others.
* Full support for true (i.e. non paletted) 256 level Greyscales,
fully preserving the colour depth. These are even supported for
image formats which do not ordinarily handle this type of image!
* Comprehensive file information (filename, format, compression
method, dimensions, memory required, memory free) given when loading
images.
* Handles conversions between monochrome, 16 colour, 256 colour,
Greyscale and True Colour, performing colour quantisation or
palette boosting as necessary.
* Colour selection compliant with both RGB and CMY standards.
* Supports separate editing of the red, green, blue and mask
channels with colour images.
* Subject to memory and/or available hard drive space, an UNDO
buffer is available at all times, allowing 'mistakes' to be
reversed easily. UNDO works for all operations in Positive Image.
* All images are stored internally in 24-bit format and all
operations are carried out on the 24-bit representation held in
memory. This ensures that the same quality results are obtained
whether pictures are edited in monochrome or True Colour.
* Uses tiling to redraw only the parts of an image that have been
changed. This is in addition to the fact that Positive Image's full
screen redraws are faster than any other Atari image processing
package that we have encountered.
* Near-instantaneous screen redraws in True Colour mode.
* Images can be intelligently rescaled and anti-aliased to suit the
size of your paper (or the dimensions of your choice provided they
do not exceed that of your paper!). Realistically you can print out
an image at up to 400% of its original size at 300dpi without any
noticeable loss of quality. * Optionally uses windowed dialogues
which may be moved to a more convenient location when work is
being obscured. Access to the menu bar or other GEM applications is
also supported when running under Multi-TOS with this feature
enabled.
* Multiple dialogues can be open at the same time and you can move
between them freely, even under single-tasking TOS. In fact
different tools can be active for different images and Positive
Image always remembers the currently selected tool for the
appropriate image!
* Includes its own virtual memory feature which runs on any Atari
with a hard drive. Positive Image is also fully compatible with TT
Fast RAM and virtual memory drivers on the TT and Falcon such as
Outside.
* Supports multiple loading of up to five images at once from the
Selectric file selector and inserts the filemasks for supported
formats into Selectric's list of masks. These features are also
available to users of the Freedom file selector.
* Makes use of the GEM Clipboard for cutting and pasting of blocks.
* Allows you to specify your Clipboard directory and creates a
Clipboard for you if you don't already have one.
* Retains multiple blocks in the Clipboard to facilitate easier
creating of montages.
* Clipboard support includes the ability to clear all blocks or
delete individual blocks after use.
* Support for Brainstorm's DSP based JPEG decoder on the Falcon.
* Standard GEM compliant keyboard shortcuts for all menu options.
* Iconification of images to maximise desk space.
* All your preferred settings are saved as default to save valuable
time when next using the package.
* Floating toolbar with short tool descriptions being displayed
as you hover over their icons.
* GDOS fonts may be unloaded when not in use, in order to save
memory.
* All the common text attributes such as bold, italic, underline and
outline may be applied to your text and previewed on screen before
use.
* Powerful block handling features include the choice of 11
different overlay methods with user definable transparency feature.
* The ability to use any of the RGB channels of the block or image
as a mask channel when pasting blocks.
* Supports the creation of 3D random dot stereograms and
foreground enhanced stereograms.
* Sixteen zoom levels allow you to scale an image up or down to a
maximum factor of eight. When zoomed (in or out), blocks, brushes etc
are all scaled accordingly. Outsize images can be zoomed out to view
the entire image for pasting blocks or defining localised regions
for processing. Zooming in allows fine editing right down to
individual pixels.
* Fully illustrated in-depth 136 page manual which covers not only
the use of Positive Image itself but also the fundamentals of
image processing. Includes extensive cross-referencing, a glossary of
over 250 terms used within the manual, a guide to the various
graphic file formats and a handy trouble-shooting section. Written by
a former regular contributor to several popular Atari magazines.
Falcon Specific Features
* 3D graphic interface.
* Compatible with 32Mhz accelerators, probably 40Mhz too!
* Fast DSP code handles most processor intensive operations such
as re-scaling, rotating, filtering, dithering and such like.
* Works on both VGA and RGB monitors as well as ordinary TV sets.
* Fully compatible with ScreenBlaster BlowUp030 and other
resolution enhancers.
Printer Support
* Fully supports printing from any version of GDOS or SpeedoGDOS.
* Also includes its own printer drivers as an alternative to
those available with the various GDOS versions.
* Non-GDOS based printer support includes all 9-pin and 24-pin
Epson and IBM models (colour and mono), HP DeskJet (colour and mono),
HP LaserJet, IBM ProPrinter, Epson Stylus (mono and colour) and
Postscript printers.
* Supports half-toning, random dithering, clumped (the method
used by newspapers) and Floyd-Steinberg dithering as options to use
when printing out.
* Uses data compression when printing to HP Laserjets and
Deskjets to reduce printing time.
* Images can be printed to disk if memory is low. These files can
then be double-clicked from the GEM Desktop and sent directly to the
printer. They can also be printed out from PC, Mac and Unix machines
if you transfer them via a PC formatted disk.
* Can export images in PostScript format.
Image Processing Features
* All the usual tools such as Brightness/Contrast, Contrast
Stretch, Negate, Threshold, Histogram and Equalise are present as
well as many revolutionary new ones.
* Images can be rotated to any angle in either a clockwise or
anti-clockwise direction to an accuracy of one degree. Uses DSP on the
Falcon.
* Real-time mirroring of images.
* Comes supplied with six commonly used image processing filters
(including smooth, sharpen and remove noise) built-in.
* Allows the user to create his/her own external filters for use
with Positive Image. The package includes about a dozen useful
pre-defined external filters including Blur, Emboss, Erode and
Vibrate.
* Supports 256 level (8-bit) masking. Includes a configurable
gradient mask tool which allows you to create your own masks.
* Allows processing of user defined rectangular, circular,
elliptical and bezier area definitions within Greyscale and True
Colour images without affecting other areas of the image.
* Powerful auto-trace tool supports user-defined tolerance level to
allow easy selection of multi-coloured areas of similar RGB value
eg; could be used to select a sky background.
* Pixel precise area selection of any shape supported by use of
Alpha Channel handling.
* Image warping (two different implementations supported) and
shearing enable life-like twisting and distorting of images. The
closest you'll get to morphing on a non-frame based package. You must
see these features to believe them! They are fully operational in the
demo version!
* Supports gamma correction of images for screen and/or printer.
Image Retouching Features
Besides having a powerful compliment of image processing tools,
Positive Image includes a number of localised retouching tools with
user definable brush size and shape. These are for the main part,
similar in concept to those found in any standard graphics package,
but further enhanced to fully exploit the image processing
capabilities of Positive Image. The retouching tools are as follows:-
* Sharpen/Blur - A dual purpose tool which applies a local high
pass sharpen (or blur) filter to the pixel beneath the mouse. The
area affected is directly related to your chosen brush size.
* Dodge/Burn - A dual purpose tool which lightens or darkens each
pixel in the area beneath the mouse, when used on Greyscale or True
Colour images.
* Eraser - Erases any given area using a 15x15 pixel block.
* Fill -A standard fill tool as found in most graphics packages but
with user control over opacity, fade and strength.
* Spraycan - A traditional airbrush tool with the added advantage
that you can set opacity, fade and strength to suit.
* Paint - A standard painting tool which applies you chosen colour
to the image relative to the size and shape of your selected brush.
* Pencil - Identical to paint except that it always works at single
pixel level, regardless of the size of the brush.
* Rubber Stamp - A multi-purpose cloning tool.
* Full user configurability of all image processing tools allowing
you to set the Opacity, Fade and Strength to make them work like
'real' paint!
All retouching tools may be used in Positive Image's variable zoom
mode to ensure pixel precise accuracy. The retail price has been
fixed at $129.95, but you can order your copy now at the
introductory price of just $99.95, guaranteeing that you are one of
the first to receive this highly sought after package.
