These were just sent to atari.archive.
st_conn.lzh - ST Connexion Sound Demo. Uses SoundTracker modules.
Sooner or later I'll upload a program that plays these
modules in stereo for the STe. It doesn't have the
nice display that this demo has, however.
cybscape.lzh - Demo from Antic, showing one result of the use of
their programs, Cyber Control, CAD 3-D, Cyber Paint,
etc. This one's pretty good, despite my lame
description. :^)
I sure hope I'm not overwhelming this place. It's just that once my
BBS and school gets going, I don't know how much time I'll have to
send stuff like this. Hopefully, these and the other files are moved
over to /demos soon; each time I send a batch, I check and nothing new
is there. I have about fifteen disks of archived demos and I've only
gone through number four. :^)hyc@math.lsa.umich.edu (Howard Chu) (08/30/90)

General comments on recently uploaded demos.... genesis.tos bombs on my machine. Dunno why, haven't looked at it. Suspect TOS 1.4 incompatibility. The acid2.arc file is 360K in size, the single file within it is only 279K. Kind of a drag, that. The Space Ace demo is kind of cool, but the graphics aren't running in lock-step synchronization with the digitized sound. On my Turbo-16 equipped Mega 4, the animation sequence ends before the sound track should end, so the sound gets cut off abruptly. (And the laser blast sound effects don't occur when the shots are drawn onscreen. Just like watching a Japanese movie, but ... }-) The color demo also doesn't work, due to Turbo-16, but that's no surprise. Most of the others have been OK. I haven't gotten the snowman demo to work yet, it crashes my system every try so far. (And it's awful good at wiping the FAT and root dir of my RAM disk every time, too. Quite tedious...) Usually pretty fun stuff here, tho. Nice. Finalcut was pretty good. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...

This isn't Fidonet so I guess I gotta add whom I'm quoting.

Works fine on my STe. Maybe your Turbo-16.

Not my upload. :^) I noticed that too. There are a few others like
that, especially in STe demos in /ste. :^(

Have you tried it from a floppy? It may not like RAM disks.aimd@castle.ed.ac.uk (M Davidson) (08/31/90)

Most of the STE demos I uploaded were already packed and de-pack at runtime. ARC justs stores files which it doesn't compress, the extra length is probably the ARC header. I'll use lharc in future if it gives better performance. Keep uploading the demos!!!! --Mark.
