I was just looking at the NewTek demo on xanth. That rascal is (choke) 1.8 MB of zoo!! How big is it unzooed? How much core does it need to run? Is it self contained, or does it require a seperate player? I brought DOC down so I can try it, but before I waste untold time on trying to get it running I have the same questions here concerning core utilization and a player device. Thanks for your help here. Regards, Jerry

The Newtek demo is all self contained and runs on 1 meg machines. It is extremely well put together ( the first disk has < 3K free!!! ). It is very nice for its size, although I would have prefered something spread over 3-4 disks rather than trying to compress to 1. It has a demonstration of dynamic hi-res ( 4096 colors at 7-- x 5-- ), and I must say that this computer of ours is truly phenominal. The picture is amazing. DOC is not really worth your time. BTW: thanks to TAD for the wonderful job he is doing in stocking xanth wil goodies!!! Stefy LePew Wefy

Full-disk demos are stored as zoo's of warps (zoo is being used here to bundle the files more than to compress them -- warps are pretty tight already): Archive newtek-1.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 792260 0% 792260 4 Dec 89 15:42:12 NEWTEK1.WRP 872220 0% 872220 4 Dec 89 16:09:28 NEWTEK2.WRP 22728 28% 16256 26 Nov 89 21:42:32 Warp -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 1687208 0% 1680736 3 files Archive newtek-3.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 778880 0% 778880 14 Dec 89 13:41:00 NEWTEK1.WRP 807584 0% 807584 14 Dec 89 14:11:28 NEWTEK2.WRP 15188 18% 12482 14 Dec 89 14:17:38 UnWarp -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 1601652 0% 1598946 3 files (I didn't have UnWarp when I built newtek-1.zoo...) So, both are complete two-disk demos -- everything is included. I don't know how much memory they take -- you do need two disks, though. They both run fine on my A1000 with 2.5M. > I brought DOC down so I can try it, but before I waste untold time on > trying to get it running I have the same questions here concerning > core utilization and a player device. All the eurpean cracker demos I've got so far are either self-contained disks (which are/will be warped) or normal executable files. All are standalone -- no players needed. Doc is of the normal executable type: Archive doc.zoo: Length CF Size Now Date Time -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 131060 0% 131060 21 Jun 88 19:20:24 doc 154 11% 137 16 Jan 80 04:10:18 readme -------- --- -------- --------- -------- 131214 0% 131197 2 files If you haven't done so already, you might want to try bringing up Zoo on your machine (I see STL-06SIMA runs UNIX)... ...tad

Hi,
I was stunned by the Dynamic Hires images in NewTek DemoReel3.
Even my roommate, who is a die-hard PC-weenie ('386 AST, VGA, etc) was
quite impressed (QUOTE: "I've seen worse looking photographs"). Does
anyone have a viewer and images?

Just how large a system do these demos require? Modem users just hate to download 5 Megabytes of software to find that none of it will run in their systems. Does anyone know? Looking at the zoo files while they are still on the mainframe is no good, everything is WARP'ed... Dave Buchthal

The NewTek Demo Reel 3 runs on my Amy 1000 with 1.5MB if that helps. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ ____ ____ ___ Earle Ake /___ /___/ / / Science Applications International Corporation ____// / / /__ Dayton, Ohio ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: fac2%dayton.saic.com@uunet.uu.net uucp: uunet!dayvb!fac2
