TUT TUT TUT, here we are again with another packed issue of
disc maggie. As usual we are running late but we can definitely
make up for it. Maggie 4.0 has quite a few new features and all
the bugs removed. The new features are the Colour Changer, the
new text displayer and the help screen. The colour changer can be
used to change colours while viewing a document. You can then
adjust it so that it is better for your eyes. You can only change
the background colour and the colour of the text at the top of
the screen. The new text displayer is using machine code and is
therefore a lot faster. You can now jump to any page, scroll up
and down by lines and everything is still controlled by the
keyboard and the mouse. You get the help screen by pressing the H
on the main menu or while viewing an article. A new screen will
then come up informing you about the various new and old keys and
buttons that you can press in Maggie.
And now for the bugs which have been fixed. First of all you
could not save a document in the older issues, and if you were
able to it crashed whn trying to load the next article. Both of
these bugs have been fixed. The other problem that has been
solved was the printing, sometimes it did not quite work, well it
works now. In case you have no printer or your printer is not
switched on I have included an offtime so that the program will
return to the main menu in case one of these problems occurs.
When you run the charts you have to press the space bar a
few times in order to move onto the next screen. The controls of
the space ship are the cursor keys and return to fire (so far I
have no idea what the fire is for. When you have finished playing
around with them you can press F10 to exit them.
By the way, the intro by The Cooperation does not work on a
half megabyte machine. The other intro which was supposed to be
on this disc had to be taken off as it did not run on any
English computers, the only machines it worked on were German
STs. So I had to return it and ask them to make it run for the
5th issue whwich should hopefully be out in about 1 1/2 months
time, so, 'til then, happy reading and hacking !!!
Yours
the Maggie Team
