      DMC (Disk Mag Creator) GOLD -  V3.0
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      DMC  GOLD  V3.0 is an updated version to the popular F1 GOLD title,
      DMC  GOLD  V2.3.   DMC V3.0 has many new features and is a must for
      anyone creating either Catalogue Disks or Disk Mag based creations.

      DMC  can  display  Text, Graphics, Animations and ClipArt files and
      also play music modules.

      Text articles can now be displayed as:


      Normal Paged Articles with 15 colours to choose from for your text.
      7  non  flashing  colours and 8 flashing colours.  You can now show
      text  with  the  choice  of  four fonts, each with 8 text styles to
      choose  from.   You can also display coloured ClipArt images within
      your article's pages.


      Split-Screen  Articles  with  all features mentioned above, but the
      text  is  split  over  two  columns  on  each  page.   This is very
      professional looking and is used by all the big named diszines such
      as Grapevine, Amoszine, Beyond-Sanit-E, Amiga Frontier etc.


      Scrolly-Articles  are a new feature to DMC V3.0 and are plain ascii
      text  files which scroll over the top of a neat IFF screen.  (which
      you can draw and design yourself).  These articles are very easy to
      create  and  make  DMC  easier to use if you can't be bothered with
      colour  codes  and  page  settings  etc.   Especially  good  for PD
      Libraries who have huge lists of titles they want to display.


      Secret  Articles  can  be in the form of any of the above, but with
      one  major advantage, this file is ENCRYPTED so nobody can read the
      file  in a text editor.  It can only be displayed via DMC by typing
      in the correct password.


      Config   Maker   is   a  new  util  designed  to  create  your  DMC
      Configuration  (set  up)  file.   This saves you doing all the hard
      work  in  a  text  editor  now.  Very easy to use and speeds up the
      creation time of your production(s).


      Some features of DMC GOLD include:
      ==================================
    o Text articles which use up to 15 colours
    o 7 non-flashing and 8 flashing
    o Text colours can be switched on/off
    o Split Screen text articles (as seen in the above named mags)
    o Secret Articles (Encrypted for security)
    o Up  to 7 ClipArt pictures can be shown alongside your text articles
      easily.  ClipArt pics use 16 colours !!!  :^)
    o Scrolly Articles over the top of a picture.
    o Three music mods can be played and switched on/off
    o Up to 11 Intro Pics can be shown
    o Up to four fonts used in articles each with 8 text styles. (no need
      for FONTS directory on disk - fully handled from within DMC)
    o DMC  can  also  display  pictures  from the Index in two modes, DMC
      Display  (pic  shown between top info screen and user panel) or now
      full screen display (DMC is hidden from view)
    o Picture shown behind Index Pages now - more professional.
    o Create your very own user panel (customise to your needs)
    o Fully control the titles atop each Index Page
    o Fully control text colours on Index Pages
    o Toggle between 5 mouse pointers.
    o DMC  GOLD is 100% compatible with data files that are crunched with
      Crunch-Mania by Thomas Schwarz (The best Amiga file cruncher EVER!)
      This will give you extra disk space for more articles and pictures.
    o DMC can be controlled by mouse and/or keyboard
    o DMC  can  be  run  on  any Amiga and can be loaded from either CLI,
      WBench, can be run from Startup-Sequence for auto-booting disks etc
    o DMC now handles all disk accessing.   No more of those nasty WBench
      messages  asking  you to insert the correct disk(s) :) This is good
      news for multi-disk releases obviously. Far more professional.
    o DMC  is  now multi-tasking and can be toggled to/from WB/CLI so you
      can let other programs run in the background
    o DMC  has  many  error  checking  routines  to stop it crashing your
      system. Very intelligent and will even tell you of some errors
    o All articles displayed can be output to your printer and all colour
      codes  will  not be output to paper (what you see on screen is what
      is printed - except ClipArt and Pictures)
    o New printer routines to save wear on your ink.  Either print in NLQ
      (Near Letter Quality) or DRAFT modes. Print in Normal or Small size
      chars  and  now DMC let's you print out either the whole article or
      just the page you are reading.
    o New  SEARCH  mode  which  allows  you  to search for any word in an
      article.   Good  news  for  PD  Libraries who use DMC for their cat
      disks.   No  more manually searching an article for that disk title
      etc. Let DMC do it for you...
    o Configuration file now set up a lot faster (even on low-end Amigas.
    o Config  Maker  which  actually  creates your  config file for you -
      easily. No more messing about and casuing errors :)
    o No  more  HEX codes!  (Yippeee!) All colours are taken from various
      picture palettes.
    o Too many new features to list.
    o The list is endless! Buy it and be amazed!



      DMC GOLD is supplied on two disks:
      =================================
      BOOT DISK:      This disk has  been  set  ou  as  a `mini-disk-mag'
                      to  let you see what DMC is now capable of.  Plenty
                      of text articles to steal ideas from too.

      CREATOR DISK:   This disk holds the new `Config Maker' and also the
                      Shareware  Version  of  Crunch-Mania.  Also on this
                      disk you will find another two disks in .DMS format
                      which have to be unpacked!  (Don't worry, it's very
                      easy to do.) These two disk are:

    * EXAMPLES DISK:  A disk  filled with example  picture files  to help
                      you  create  your  own panel and clipart files etc.
                      All  files  should  be  loaded  into your favourite
                      paint package.

    * YOUR DISK:      This is a skeleton disk of DMC!!!. It holds all the
                      required files to run DMC and all you have to do is
                      copy  your  articles, pictures, animation and music
                      files etc., onto.

    * (These disk must be unpacked onto two spare floppy disks. It is all
      done easily for you at the click of a mouse button.)


    o Also  supplied  with  DMC GOLD is the full A5 Printed manual.   Now
      re-written  and  revamped for the new release of DMC.  40+ pages to
      help you create your first production. Written by the author of DMC
      with the new user in mind.  Now you have the best help available at
      hand - ALWAYS :)

      The  manual  is  produced in assocaition with F1 Software to ensure
      that  you  are  getting a quality production and not some poxy text
      list printed onto sheets of paper.  Many hours were spent producing
      the manual for DMC and I (Andy Gibson) feel that it is set out in a
      professional manner.


    o DMC  has  been  two  years  in  the making and is now of commercial
      standards.  So if you've ever wanted to create a Disk Mag or even a
      catalogue disk for your PD Library, DMC GOLD is for you.  No coding
      experience required.  All the hard work has been done for you.

    o Many  PD  Libraries  already  use  DMC for their cat disks and many
      people  have  used  DMC to create stunning disk mags that rival the
      likes of Grapevine!

           NOTE: From Phil.  It took me about 30 minutes to master DMC
           to create this catalogue disk. It is very quick and easy to
           use and that's a promise.
