How to register outside the UK
------------------------------
Different arrangements exist depending on the software concerned. There may 
be an alternative local registration point or other conditions so please 
refer to the specific documentation for details.


Why register?
-------------
The best reason for registering is to support and encourage the authors to 
continue to produce English language versions of their software. In most 
cases you'll also obtain the benefits reserved for registered users. This 
includes access to the free update service.

Update service
--------------
The latest versions are listed every month in the Shareware column of ST 
Applications each month. Reviews of new features and additions to the 
scheme also featured. Read the advert at the end of this documentation for 
more details. To receive an update:

- Send a self addressed envelope including return postage and a double 
  sided floppy disk. Please state clearly:

1) The software you would like updated
2) The version you're currently using
3) 'Keep' if you would prefer me to retain your disk until a later version 
   becomes available.
   
Alternatively if you have Internet access you can use 'anonymous ftp' to 
obtain the latest English language release version of all the above 
software from:

micros.hensa.ac.uk 

Other sites may carry the on-line archive but minor updates to the English 
language version are sometimes made without changing the version number.

  
Overview of Software
============================================================================

Kandinsky v1.70e
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A powerful vector drawing program without equal on the Atari platform. 
If you create or edit GEM Metafiles this Application is for you!

+ All known GEM standards are suported, including the Clipboard, 
  SpeedoGDOS, MultiTOS and the GEMINI-AV protocoll.
+ Support for GDOS, Speedo GDOS and other GDOS replacements to handle GEM 
  Metafiles. To save and print you'll need to boot using GDOS and a 
  suitable ASSIGN.SYS which includes a printer driver and META.SYS.
+ Compatibility option to save GEM Metafiles without SpeedoGDOS commands to 
  offer backwards compatibility for pre-Speedo applications.
+ Supports for VDI devices from No: 11 to 70 with dialogs (optionally) in 
  windows enabling background events, ideal for MultiTOS, Geneva or Mag!X 
  users.
+ Undo supports almost all actions
+ Directly reads GEM/3-Artline format files from the PC
+ Objects remain fully editable after creation, e.g. text or arc angles
+ Powerful alignment tools make it easy to position objects relative to 
  each other.
+ Support for the popular CSV (comma separated value) format, with 
  automatic generation of a coordinate system
+ The registered version features PostScript and Tektronix file export
+ IMG file handling as pseudo objects.
+ Extended features for GEMINI desktop users.
+ Drag & drop objects between Kandinsky windows and GEMINI desktop.


Selectric  v1.10e
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A replacement File Selector offering an unrivalled range of tools and 
features all wrapped up inside a superb enhanced GEM user infterface.

* The number of files which can be handled is dynamic, limited only by the 
  amount of free memory (not static like so many other File Selectors). 
  Selectric only reserves as much memory as it needs. One little 
  comparison test you might like to try with other FSs is to try handling 
  over 1000 files without problems...
* In many cases Selectric does the thinking for you. Open up a folder then 
  close it again and the slider remains where you left it, it doesn't 
  return to the top again!
* The real time slider make's moving through the file list very intuitive, 
  for many the built-in FS is fast enough but faster is better right?
* Nearly all of the main functions can also be accessed from the keyboard. 
  Installing Let 'em Fly! takes care of the remaining few.
* The number of files displayed changes automatically depending on the 
  current screen resolution. This ranges from 8 files in ST high, through 
  12 files with OverScan up the maximum of 24 files using TT high and some 
  graphic cards. Each time Selectric is called it checks the current 
  resolution and displays the appropriate number of files. Ideal for 
  Autoswitch-OverScan users.
* Using the optional Auto Locator only the first letter of a filename needs 
  to be entered,  Selectric will seek out the first matching filename and 
  select it. Also if an Application passes a filename to Selectric it will 
  attempt to localise the correct file.
* Wildcard entry is fully supported so it is possible to select files using 
  lines like: '*MOUSE*.[A-Z]??'
* Five different Search criteria with two optional switches, reverse and 
  numerical order.
* Currently ten different file extensions and paths can be stored for rapid 
  activation. Applications which pass parameters to Selectric can recall 
  the full path.
* A wide selection of file operations are available (including Copy). Most 
  functions work recursively, so it's possible at a single stroke to 
  copy/delete etc a folder containing files and other folders.
* Selectric works on all ST/TT Computer in all resolutions and naturally 
  with all graphic cards.
  

Two-In-One  v1.07e
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This archive manager designed to cope with the increasing sophistication 
and diversity of tools employed to minimise the disk space occupied by 
Applications. If you've ever got in a tangle with ZIP, LZH, ZOO, ARJ, ARC 
packed or UUENCODED files then this is the utility for you! Without leaving 
Two-In-One it's possible to:

o Create archives
o Extract archives
o Extract individual or groups of files from archives
o View text and image files inside archives; I use this feature before I 
  decide whether to extract loads of files for a program I don't have a use 
  for, this feature alone saves a lot of wasted time and disk wear and 
  tear!
o Create self extracting archives in ZIP or LZH format
o Create PFXPAKed executables
o Virus check files and archive
o UUENCODE or UUDECODE file and archive
o Kobold support

gale v1.52i
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gale, French for equal, is designed to establish the differences between 
two files of any type. Despite the French name gale is programmed and 
developed by David Reitter and Christof Schardt in Germany.

Have you ever lost track of the latest version of a program or text you've 
working on? Or have you found two files with the same name in different 
locations and have no idea which one is the latest or what the difference 
between them is?

Maybe that killer application you're programming has sprouted a extra few 
bytes and you're not sure why. If you find out you've released a nasty bug 
gale can even generate a compact patch program providing an efficient 
update method for your users.

gale offers all this is a stylish extended GEM interface which makes 
file comparison childs play!

* Files are loaded side by side in a single window divided by a 
 customisable vertical slider which can be freely positioned as desired.

* Text or binary files of any size (limited only by the available memory) 
 are rapidly loaded.

* Smooth scrolling both backwards and forwards through files combined with 
 flexible jump and find features make it easy to navigate even the largest 
 files.

* Double clicking on any line displays the individual line in a separate 
 window with the differences highlighted.

* Optional line numbering can be toggled on/off as desired.

* Automatic line equalisation can bridge the 'gap' between large areas of 
 differences between otherwise basically similar files. Control over 
 equalisation is fully user-definable.

* Files can be evaluated either as characters or by interpreting each line 
 as a numerical value.

* gale is fully compatible with the Atari ST, TT and Falcon030 computers 
 using all major TOS and multitasking operating systems. All resolutions 
 from 640x200 pixels (ST medium) upwards are supported.

* Files can be edited. In addition to line insertion and deletion invidual 
 lines can be edited. Changes can only be saved in the registered version.
 
* A difference/correspondence file can be saved or printed.

* Patch program generator! gale can generate an executable program (PRG) 
 designed to update existing files. Don't upload a complete new archive, 
 when only a few bytes need changing, issue a patch instead.
