-=Autark Preview=-

Prologue       : Autark Issue One is due to be released in the first half
of August 1996, so this package is just a reminder for
you to send in your contributions.

Introduction   : Autark is a new mag. You know, with articles and stuff. The
responsible persons for this mag are n-Factor and YOU of
course.
One thing Autark will feature is a corner for political
discussions (hey, don't even dare to think that the demoscene
and politics are not related in any way, just remember all the
discussions about the french nukes in DGI for example).
But this doesn't mean that we won't include any 'bullshit'
texts, write whatever you want, but don't forget: your name
will be published next to it :)
The only language allowed for articles is English, of course
you can write in your mother tongue in messages or addies.

Technical Infos: The mag requires a 386 computer. As the 640x480x16 mode is used
a vga is sufficient. The soundsystem included in the mag is
the same used in our Digitrakker (which you should get btw., if
you don't have it), so all the following cards are supported:
+ Gravis Ultrasound (GUS, GUS Max, GUS Ace)
+ Soundblaster (1.0, 1.5, 2.0)
+ Soundblaster Pro
+ Soundblaster 16

The maximum size for one page is 38x21 characters, the
maximum size for graphics is 304x320 pixels, please supply the
graphics in 8 greyscale colors.
Go ahead, make use of this feature, there are lots of
possibilities, you could include a picture of yours or
you could explain some steps of a picture with images
of the steps being shown. The best entry will win
a tin of Karlsquell.

The interface  : The interface is totally gfx-based, so there are some advanced
features available for writing your articles:
+ choose of different fonts and sizes
+ shadows
+ choose colors of fonts and shadows
+ include up to 200 graphics into your article
+ text and graphic alignment
+ proportional texts
+ much more

The whole mag can be controlled by keyboard as well as by mouse
with the mousecontrol being positionsensitive.
