=========================================================================== InterActive supported software scheme 12th October 1997 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- About the scheme ---------------- Since 1993 InterActive has offered a convenient way to register non-commercial software. The scheme was launched by Joe Connor to encourage 'foreign' authors to produce and support English language versions of their software AND to encourage UK users to register 'foreign' software. InterActive continues to expand and currently supports over 50 non-commercial titles and 25 different authors and over 2000 registered users. The authors deserve your support and feedback so if you're regularly using any unregistered software please register today - you nearly always get something extra in return: - Key to remove features reserved for registered users - Local telephone, post and email support - Free update service - No hassle handling foreign currency - Labelled Master disk and registration letter Registration fees are set to cover the currency handling, stationary, media and postage costs incurred in mailing out master disks and providing support. Although primarily a UK support scheme everyone is welcome to register via InterActive as an alternative to registering directly with the author/s. The currently supported software is: Version Software Fee Status and description --------------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.73e Kandinsky 16 [S] Vector art using GDOS/Speedo/NVDI3 v2.51e Kandinsky 2 30 [S] Upgrade from v1.73 costs 16 Sterling v1.51e Two-in-One 13 [S] Archive manager, twin selector style v4.8 GFA Flydials 13 [S] Enhanced GFA GEM routines [G] v1.06e GFA Patch 6+ [F] GFA patchs for most interpreters/compilers v3.6b4 Everest 11 [S] Text editor, fast and ultra compatible v3.9i gale 16 [S] File compare, edit and patch editor v6.6e GSZRZ 16 [C] XYZmodem protocols [ACC/PRG/030] v1.4f OCR 11+ [F] Optical Character Recognition v1.41a CD-Player 6+ [F] Play audio CDs v1.5e CAB 6+ [F] Crystal Atari Browser, HTML browser v1.5e ST-Guide 6+ [R] Hypertext help system [ACC/PRG] v2.1e AppLine 6+ [F] Program manager, a must for MagiC users! v0.72 Remarker '96 6 [S] Add remarks to ST-Guide pages [ACC/APP][G] v3.01e PacShell 13 [S] Archive manager, alternative desktop style v10.94 STG Creator 6+ [F] Create hypertexts the easy way! v3.8e IdeaList 13 [S] Complete printer management [ACC/PRG] v2.04e Adresse 16 [S] Name & Address database [ACC/PRG] v1.5 Munch 23 [S] Art package, mono only v1.42e TurboBlanker 10+ [S] Falcon screensaver/accelerator[ACC/PRG] v1.15e Freedom 16 [S] Alternative non-modal file selector v2.00 Freedom 36 [S] Integrated FS/Control panel [G] v2.00 Freedom 21 [S] Upgrade fee from Freedom v1.x to v2.x [G] v1.09e Thing 13 [S] Desktop replacement, full AV-Server v0.95 Look'n See 20 [S] File manager/viewer, 99 amazing modules! v1.3c A'la Card 20 [S] Adds GFA Basic colour and MagiC Mac support! v1.01e ToDo 7# [S] Project manager, simple notepad style v2.06 GDOS Check 6+ [F] Create GDOS font lists, test printable area v5.21 JML-Snapshot 12 [S] Screen grabber, IMG/IFF/TIF, can grab windows v1.04e Stewart 7 [S] Customise the look & feel for MagiC! v1.00 StIc 6+ [F] Universal icon server (Stewart/noThing) v06/97 1st-Guide 20 [S] File viewer/hypertext [ACC/PRG][G] v1.09e GEM-FontView 10 [S] View entire bitmap/vector character set v1.1e GEMTrek 6+ [F] GEM based Battleships clone [ACC/PRG] v1.2 C.O.E. 13 [S] Falcon fantasy wargaming v2 Stripper 6+ [F] Add "Postit" desktop notes to your desktop v2.07e ResourceMaster 18 [S] RSC editor, edits colour icons & >64Kb files Thomas Much 6+*[F] Start Me Up v7.00, BubbleGEM and OLGA Christoph Zwerschke 10+*[F] LED Panel, DiskCake, FontSel, Ikarus etc. Mario Becroft 6+*[S] Currency Convertor and many more to come!

Sterling, Dollars and DMs are fine -but at your own risk! Country specific information ---------------------------- Canada: The Canadian Post Office can issue money orders in *Sterling*. These are hassle free and inexpensive! Australia: Australia Post only sell overseas money orders in US dollars so please get a bank draft made out in Sterling drawn on a UK bank address. NZ: Please visit your Post Office and get a money order made out in *Sterling*. France: For some reason I'm getting a number of local cheques (i.e. written in Sterling but drawn on a french bank address. I can accept these but they cost œ5 to negoiate so you must add an extra œ5 to your order total. Europe: In general Post Office money orders or Eurocheques are the best way to pay. USA: What a nightmare! Can I suggest a day trip to a Canadian post office? I've seen everything from Amex travellers cheques (add œ5 to order total), local cheques (no can do), cash (fine -but at your own risk). An International money order (add œ5 to order total) made out in Sterling drawn on a UK banking address is currently the best solution, sorry! :-( Contact ------- Mail: 65 Mill Road, Colchester, Essex, CO4 5LJ, England Email: Internet: support@inactive.cix.co.uk NeST: 90:100/304.0@nest.ftn Telephone: UK+(0)1206 852602 Leave a message on the answerphone! Update service -------------- By post ------- To receive an update send a self addressed envelope including return postage (or IRC) and an unlabelled double sided floppy disk. Please state clearly: 1) The software you'd like updated 2) The version you're currently using How long will I have to wait? ----------------------------- Due to the number of people taking advantage of the registration service and my other commitments as editor of Atari Computing I can't always reply as quickly as I'd like to. Often I'm waiting for a new version or simply too busy earning a living so please be patient! If you have Internet access --------------------------- Visit the InterActive websites which includes news and gossip about the latest versions and downloads of all the latest versions via the web: URL: http://www.cix.co.uk/~inactive/ If you have ftp access ---------------------- Visit: ftp sofa.dartnet.co.uk Login as 'ftp' and enter email address as password. The Atari files are all stashed in the path: /pub/atari/interactive/ If you have a modem but no ftp access ------------------------------------- You can always obtain the latest English language releases from 42BBS: SysOp: Colin Fisher-McAllum Telephone: UK+(0)1256 895106 System: 24 hour/28K8/8N1 Other Bulletin boards and ftp sites are allowed to carry the on-line archives but because minor updates to the English language version are sometimes made without changing the version number CIX, 42BBS and the InterActive website are the places to visit to ensure you have the very latest versions!
