Welcome to this new Swedish disk magazine from GASH in 1996.
There isn't really a great number of articles in this issue,
quite understandable if you consider that it has been done in
a hurry and that it's darn hard to get people to move their
asses ;) and write something. Many people probaby want to write
articles but don't know what to write about. For this reason,
we included a small collection of ideas and topics. If you find
that there's something missing in the mag, do something about it
yourself - send us a suggestion and one (or a few) articles under
that topic so we can include it!

In this issue no charts is available because very few people
actually voted. The remedy for this problem to send your votes to us!
You'll find the votesheet in the packet so that YOU can vote for
the Caustic Verses issue #2!

!! Send stuff, like articles, votes and interviews to us !!

Requirements:
INTeL 80386+ compatible microprocessor + mother board etc.
VGA screen and card
Keyboard
Enough memory :)

Recommended:
Dual Pentium Pro 150MHz
Ultra-mega-SVGA 256bit 1nS memory
Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro with 8 meg of memory
Eyes, ears and fingers! :)  (Sorry all of you! :) )
Win95 keyboard
DOS 28.38
USR Courier 36k2

Seriously:
486dx2 - 66 with GUS (1Mb)/ Pentium with SB16
Fast VLB (S)VGA screen and card
Etc.

Trouble shooting:
In the 3rd tune, the module is approx. 600kb large, and thus, people
with only 512kb GUS may not be able to hear it. Midas may test for
this and throw you out of the diskmag, but since we don't have a
512kb GUS, we cannot test this...  Be warned though!

If you have the wrong soundcard selection, delete midas.cfg to try
again.

If you are stupid enough to run this diskmag from Windows (tm), then
you may have some problems. Especially with sound on. If you run the
diskmag with no sound, then it should run ok, but with sound on,
Windows may hang when you exit Windows. The diskmag is not ment to be
run from Windows, so don't blame us!
Since we don't have Win95 (thank God!), we don't know how the diskmag
reacts under it (hopefully it doesn't react at all!).

Since Midas handles all errors, it may throw you out to DOS, but since
we didn't code Midas, we don't know how to fix it. :) Buy more memory,
don't delete the vital files, don't choose a non-existent soundcard,
and don't eat your keyboard! :)

The printing isn't as reliable as we would wish. So ensure that your
printer is online and feed it with paper, else unpredictable results
may happen. (We tried to solve this the best way, but at the moment,
we cant find out how to check if the printer is online.)
