Hmmm..All these people continue to request the FTA book. Does that mean it's really available to those who ask? If it is, then please send me a copy, if it isn't, it's time people stopped asking for it. +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /| +-------------------------S-H-A-R-E-W-A-R-E-!-------------------------------+

I'd also like to know if the thing's available in English. I can barely understand programming books in English, I'd hate to have to learn French and 65816 AL programming at the same time.

In Photonix 1.4 (not 1.46!) move the pointer to lower right and hold down on OA whil clicking mouse. Hold space during Modulae boot for version #. Dang! I can't remember the keypress combo during the circular text in Modulae, but it brings up a new text message. kinda funny, but not to worry if you can't find it. Also, lots of nice things happen in theire demos if you set display and keyboard language to French. For example, Photonix, won't display ShareWare info if keyboard is French. In XMas demo, type SAPIN or FAG. There's a 3rd, but I haven't decoded it yet. It's something based on KILL. I think i;ve found some others but I can't remember them right now. Also, the french documentation for Photonix lists more commands than are in the English dox. > 2. Will these guys ever write anything we can use?

I would also like a list of FTA's Easter Eggs, actually any Easter
egg in any program. I've only found one ever. In the "Z" demo.
I think FTA should develope a SHR terminal program. That would be
something! If it was finder launchable and quit back to the finder even
better! I bet they could make one that could keep up with 9600 baud and
have graphics and good emulations. Hmmmmm....would be nice, if only I
were a programer...

The "Z" demo is actually The Software Experience #1, by Tim Meekins (who checks in here regularly). No doubt he would be pleased to hear that one of his demos was good enough to be mistaken for an FTA production... :) Brian T. Tao {taob@pnet91.cts.com} || Computer guru?

Does anyone know if it is available, somehow?

Could you please tell me what this thing with "easter eggs" and FTA is? I'm
totally bewildered. :)
