Eurochart,  together with EuroNews and
Gallery.

Just  one  little note:  If you think,
that  the  Euronews-text  is  a little
weird  this  time, please consider the
fact  that  tonight,  DENMARK  won the
European  football championships, with
a  stunning  2-0-victory  against  the
German World Champions.

We can't say, that the response on our
taking   over   the  charts  has  been
overwhelming.  As you'll notice in the
list  of  voters, only 122 people have
voted.   But then again, the Eurochart
has  been  delayed  for  6 months now,
counting   from   the  last  Crusaders
Eurochart.  It seems, though, that our
giving  away  a  free advertisement to
all  voters in this issue has helped a
lot!
Still, it's a bit disappointing, that
we've received NO clip-art before the
Hurricane party...

In   the   intro,   released   at  the
Gathering  in  Lillestroem  in  Easter
'92,  we  said,  that  the new Kefrens
were   going  to  make  the  Eurochart
together with us.  But, as many of you
have  noticed, the new Kefrens decided
to  drop  out.  According to an intro,
they   "didn't   think,   making   the
Eurochart    would    improve    their
skills"...     Well,   that's   under-
standable, as Kefrens has the power of
the Ankh, there's not much they can do
to  improve  their  skills  from their
high  level!   BUT, this has obviously
NOT   delayed   the   release  of  The
Official Eurochart.

In   the  before-mentioned  intro  we
promised,   that  Dr.   Outtasight  of
Crusaders  would  continue writing his
Ken-stories,  but as we, after writing
to   him   twice,   haven't   got  any
Ken-story-scroll from him, you'll have
to  live  with  a  scroll  written  by
Cutcreator  instead.   Everyone who is
able to understand the meaning of this
scroll  will  win a huge prize, by the
way!

Some  words about the code:  As we did
not  get (and, by the way, didn't WANT
to   get)   the   original  code  from
Crusaders,  the coding is totally new,
though  much  of  the Eurocharts looks
like  in  the "old days".  As the code
is  quite  new,  there  might still be
some bugs, even though we've performed
quite  thorough  testing on all parts.
Especially when run from harddisk, the
Gallery  and Euronews can act a little
weird,   but   at   least  it  doesn't
crash...  [1m(or does it?  -ed)[3m

As   all   main  graphics  are  loaded
immediately,  512  Kb users might have
some   "minor"  problems  running  the
Eurochart...  At the risk of being too
rude, all we can say is:  Go get a RAM
expansion.

Anyway,  we'd  VERY much like your bug
reports,  or  in  general, comments to
our  Eurochart.   Just  send them with
your votes.
