Hello, die-hard 8-bitters! Does anyone out there have any titling software which will run on an 800XL? I'd like to use my 8-bit to generate some snazzy graphic titles to jazz up my home video movies. I've done some simple things both in BASIC and in Ace C, but I'm sure someone out there has something much more interesting. I've also heard tell of commercial titling packages, but where I live no stores will stock 8-bit Atari titles, so I can't just walk out and buy one, either. If you have such an animal, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Please email me at the address below. Thanks! -- Scott Coleman tmkk@uiuc.edu University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "Quoth the Raven: 'Eat My Shorts!'" - Raven Bart, Simpsons' Halloween Special

The program that you want is available from American Techna-Vision in California. The program is from Datasoft and is called "Video Titleshop". They are selling the program and 2 companion disks for $14.95 + $4 S&H. They have a toll free order number (1-800-551-9995). Credit card use is restricted to orders of $18.50 or more. Not sure if that includes S&H or not. You could also have them ship it COD. You pay when it is delivered, so someone has to be home during the day or you will have go pick it up yourself somewhere. COD orders are cash only and that adds another $3.30 to the cost. Still for a total for $21.80 you get a program that originally sold for $39.95 if I remember correctly and get two disk of whatever free with it. Note: This is not an endorsement of the product since I have never used it or seen it used. I do remember reading a favorable review a couple or years ago. Anyone else actually used it?
