Um einen kleinen Einblick in das umfassende InterNet zu geben veröffentlichen wir ab sofort in jeder Ausgabe einige aktuelle Meldungen und Nachrichten aus diesem Netz. Thema ist alles, was sich irgendwie um ATARI dreht. Da wir die Artikel im Original übernehmen, kann es mit der 40 Zeichen-Darstellung Schwierigkeiten geben. Wir bitten das zu entschuldigen. Es läßt sich leider nicht ohne Probleme ändern.

As for DOS 2.5 (and 2.0, and MyDOS's DUP, and many other DOS's DUP's), the .ommands you'll really need a lot are: A - dire, Greg Bennett writes: > > Just thought you all might want to know, ID software (makers of the > famous MSDOS Wolfenstein 3D and soon to announced DOOM) are in the > process of negotiating with Atari for a port of the new game DOOM. > > For those not familiar with Wolfenstein or DOOM they are games > with full 3D perspective that have amazing graphics.

For what hardware? On the ST it would probably be embarassingly slow, not to mention the fact that the graphics would look terrible. So, Jaguar or Falcon? I guess it'd have to be for the Falcon, I doubt you could have a shareware cartridge...

Maybe the Falcon will get a version,too. - *************************************** *************************************** * Patrick Roelandt -- patrol.hacktic.nl ö Founder Dutch Jaguarclub (3D-who?) * -- 18:59 --comp.sys.atari.st-- LAST --help:?--Top 68%-- *************************************** *************************************** * Patrick Roelandt -- patrol.hacktic.nl ö Founder Dutch Jaguarclub (3D-who?) * * ööö ö and proud of it..... * * / ö Ö * * "I love it when a plan comes together.
