8-bit Software Disc Magazine (c) Duncan Webster September 1991 Issue 15 September 1991 PD SECTION - THIS MONTHS DISC SORTING ARTICLE 709 A fully detailed illustraion on the concept of sorting routines on the BBC Computers - a subject which has eluded many members for ages. Not any more though with this comprehensive and self contained article by Hugh Williams. Please make this article the priority for your comments. 64 Colour Screen Demo An example of how you can theoretically get 64 colours on the BBC micro by using the "dithering" method. NEW Address Book Program After using the comments provided by 8BS members, Sattar Shakoor has developed this new program. Please send any new or revised comments you may wish to make. ADFS Sector Editor - SEE PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION Cassette Inlay Printer Ironically, we have had no such utility published from 8BS before - so to set the record straight - here it is - a program to print the inlays nice and neatly for all your cassette singles and albums. Character Editor - SEE PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION STD Code Demonstration Have you ever wondered where you are dialling when you enter these 4 digit dialling codes - just where is the 0530 area? - it could be the next district, or it could be 200 miles away. This program is a working demonstraion of Chris Richardsons STD CODE INDEX program. All you do is enter the 4 digit STD code and hey presto! - the place is displayed before your eyes. The program on this months disc cannot hold information for ALL areas as this would mean occupying 2 sides of an 80T disc. However, the FULL working program is available to anyone upon request. Just think - you will ALWAYS know WHERE you are dialling by using this little program. TV Tune/Sound Demo A little demo routine to simulate an detuned TV plus a little sound sample to simulate locating a channel - no pictures though due to a transmitter failure. Multicolour Puzzle Game - SPEAKS FOR ITSELF - Addictive though! Timelapsed Arcade Game One of the best EVER PD games on the scene at present. Written by the author of Sorcerers Domain I and II - soon to be available on 8BS. Locked Cassette Program Loader Of limited use, as cassette recorders are hardly used nowdays. However this program will assemble a small routine which will enable users to load "Locked" cassette files. View to a Kill Demo An exceptional demonstration with nice music. Master owners will notice that the James Bond Character will distort momentarily before reforming itself before the music starts - don't panic! ROBOCOP Game Demonstration By Duncan Lilly. Demonstration of a ROBOCOP Scene. When the title screen loads you will see the letters ROBOCOP slide one by one onto the screen. When this starts press the SPACE BAR to speed up loading. Utility ROM - MASTER MACHINES ONLY Useful little SWR image for Master Computers which adds a host of new utilities. I have no Master (yet) so I hope that this works OK.
