MR.BIG / THE EDITOR ************************************* ENERGY AND CHAOS PARTY REPORT ************************************* On the 23.06 in a hotel in Weiz Austria, the great ENERGY and CHAOS party took place. It was a party for C64 and AMIGA (CHAOS on C64, ENERGY on AMIGA). Many well known groups arrived there like:- (AMIGA) SCOOPEX SUBWAY, IMMORTAL, SAVAGE, SUPPLEX ACL, CYBERNETIC CREW, LAZER, TAT INFINITY, SOC BRIGADE, TRILLION. I met many friends and contacts at this party like the megacool COSMOS of ACL, ALIEN of CC, MAGIC SECTOR, ICEMAN of TRILLION, RAY JACKSON of IMMORTAL. I was'nt the only freak to meet some of his contacts. ok lets go on !! on C64 well known groups arrived too, CRAZY & LOTUS LAZER, FRESH, COSMOS, BCT, COSMOS DESIGNS, MICRO BOYS, TAT, THE FORCE and FBI CREW..... It was a good party, there were many cool crews at the party, and it was on of the best parties here in austria. But some guyz found it cool to steal computers, drives, modules (of coz) and some bottles of wine. There were many releases at the party. SAVAGE released a new demo, a game pack CYBERNETIC CREW a demo disk, TRILLION some tool disks (GREAT), ACL some new demos... and many other releases. We (ENERGY) worked on the SOUNDSPLASH III (SP3 wil l be released at the RSI party) In the afternoon some guyz tried to steal the key for a show window bad luck for all guys there coz the hotel owner turned the power off. Fifteen minutes later the key was here there were many people at the party, so some hotels in WEIZ were full. TRILLION and some other guys were going to another hotel in WEIZ. But this hotel was more expensive than the other hotels in WEIZ (a normal hotel costs you 195oS ( 28DM )) The too expensive for TRILLION hotel costs 250oS (36DM) Of coz this price was too high for TRILLION, so they called STRANGER of ENERGY (The organiser of the party) up and they told him that the price was too high " this is a scandal you can read the result of it in the next ZINE", they said. My personal opinion: TRILLION should sleep on the street next time (maybe in the rain) Yes, TRILLION, the street will be much cheaper. Dont be angry now TRILLION, but this is the truth!! The hotel closed at 2:00 AM, so the party was over at this time. Most of the guys liked the party very much only TRILLION.... The next party will be at ALCATRAZ (not from ALCATRAZ) And the computer, drives, and module stealers can stay there for ever!!!! In AUSTRIA there are nearly no copy parties. This was a great party nearly every Austrian group was at this party. There should be more copy parties in AUSTRIA. Copy-parties like this one. JASON / ENERGY THIS PARTY REPORT MISSED THE DEADLINE OF THE LAST ISSUE......... -->STOLEN DATA LETTERS & QUESTIONS<--- -------------------------------------- Q: I need to use my Amiga to create graphics,then convert them to IBM for- mat.Is there any commercial or public- domain package available to do it for me? John Anderzon, Sweden A: Reflection by International Micro- computer Software Inc. allows you to convert pictures among the Amiga, IBM PC and Macintosh. The Amiga source files must be at most 16 colors - any extra colors are ignored. The software runs on the IBM only, so you must transfer the Amiga files to the PC via a modem or a null cable. If your Amiga is equipped with a Bridgeboard or A1010 5,25 inch drive, you can trans- fer the software. Reflection lets you choose the PC graphics format you wish to convert to. Possible formats are Dr.Halo, PC Paintbruch, TIFF, Inset, the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet`s . HPC format, or PostScript. For more info. rmation contact: Int. MicroComputer Software Inc. 1299 Fourth St., San Rafael, CA 94901, +1-415-454-7101. -->STOLEN DATA LETTERS & QUESTIONS<--- -------------------------------------- Q: I want to set up a BBS on my A200 and have it operate in the backround. Is this possible? If so, where can I get the software to do this? Walter Flugan, USA. A: BBS-PC is a very sophisticated bulletin board system. The software will multitask, and you can run it in the backround while you use the com- puter for other work. For all details on BBS-PC!, contact: Micro-Systems Software 12798 Forest Hill Blvd West Palm Beach FL 33414, USA. +1-407-790-0770. +------------------------------------+ |Q: What programs do you use to make| | your demos?

Welcome to the first ever Music Review column. Each issue I will bring you 3 new tunes by musicians from all over the globe, together with a short review by myself. If you don't agree with my review, don't slag me off, just ignore it, personally I think the best idea is to just load up the tunes and listen to them for yourself, as everybody has different tastes in music. If you want to send in your tune for me to review, don't hesitate to write to the address at the end of this column. On the subject of music, you can expect some special NoiseTracker (and SoundTracker) tutorials coming soon, they won't show you how to write music of course (that would be quite impossible!!!!) but they will show you some tricks of the trade, like emulating Synthetic Sounds, Shortcuts etc, as well as a complete appregio guide. But that is all some time in the future. Also, if you happen to be writing a game and need music and sound Fx, I am always available for freelance commercial work, to contact me write to either the address at the end of this column or phone:ENGLAND (0243)605468 Now this months offerings.. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Reviews - Page 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NEW WAVE 1 - NEW WAVE OF REAKTOR ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It seems strange now that with the Amiga music trend going more towards music with a melody, New Wave has written this rather timid house track. As we all know, the key to a 'good' (untalented!) house track is a lot of original speech or riff samples, but this tune goes back to the bare minimum of house, a bass line and a beat. This would not have been too bad if their was some variety in the track, but I found it quite tiresome and started skipping patterns (a bad sign in my books), maybe if New Wave had a go at something original and not another house tune, I would be interested in listening to it. VECTOR - FIREFOX OF PHENOMENA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I remember the good old Firefox classics, and I had wondered where he had gone until this track arrived. Obviously inspired by the current key-riff phase (as used by Uncle Tom) this track is getting back to his great old style, a bit on the short side, but it i s very nice indeed. It is a shame that Firefox is so underated by other people when he is so talented, and if you are reading Firefox, send me some more tunes to review!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Reviews - Page 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ LATITUDE BY TREVOR HAMLETT ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I received this tune from a guy called Dax, and I was very impressed to see another good U.K musician coming out onto the scene! Although slightly sounding like a European release, it has a very nice riff and some nice instruments, particulaly a 64K blast which really flips you out! I only have Trevor's first 3 tunes, all of which were very promising and it is nice to hear a musician that can bang out a decent melody which you can hum! It may sound simple now, but it makes a refreshing change and I hope to get some more of his work very soon. Trevor Hamlett writes music on Amiga for a video production company at present, but expect a few more of his pieces to arrive in this review column over the next few months. And that is the reviews for this month, if you want your tune reviewed and put onto Stolen Data, why not send it to me?

No its not dirty messages over the Modem. This is the insiders guide into how to have sex with your Computer. Step 1 ------ Finding the right Computer... Try a Computer dating agency, if that doesnt work try your local Computer shop Step 2 ------ Romance... Find a romantically lit Computer desk and place your new partner safely onto it. Step 3 ------ Position... Always awkward. When the Computer is busy admiring its Chips slowly put your hand around its side and push it to the edge of the desk Step 4 ------ Foreplay... You may try a bit of tongue work in the Disk Drive, but the easiest way to turn a Computer on, is to use the Switch !! Step 5 ------ Intercourse... When you have undressed there are two methods of achieving entry :- 1.. For the smaller size of Penis, just ram it in there, try the Bishop Position or you on top although if you choose that, make sure you have a strong Desk. If there is no Friction, then you may be able to put a Disk in the Drive and then try again. If there is still no Friction, make sure you are a male and that you havnt lost yore Penis in a freak accident !! 2.. For the larger size of Penis you may have to be content with no actual penetration, but sex can still be enjoyable, dont worry !! If you do manage entry you will find the Friction is quite satisfying. Step 6 ------ If your Penis happens to get stuck just relax, when you go limp you will find that it is a lot easier to withdraw. If you still cant get out, you may have to visit the local Hospital, this can be embarassing so try using a hammer (The Tool not ME !?!) first, but be CAREFULL !!! Warning ------- Safe sex is always recommended, always wear a Condom as Viruses are rife in the Computer world and most of them are LETHAL !!!! This article is dedicated to all you poor unfortunate amiga users out there who do nothing but play with there Computers and watch Dirty Movies... HAMMER / ANARCHY...... -------------------------------------- Diskstealers-corner -------------------------------------- Hello and welcome to the diskstealers page. ( Why say welcome? This is the most irritating part in the whole mag) Anyway, we must nail the bastards and force them to send back your disks! We will try to help you (lamer or not!). Send your tips about diskstealers to us and dont forget to enclose much in- formation about the diskstealer. Maybe you have your own way to force disk- stealers to return you disks? Send the tip and you will make life easier!!!!! Well, I haven`t got any letters yet about diskstealer (oooh dear!), maybe bcoz this is the first time the disk- stealers part is in Stolen Data! Any- way... I will publish some addresses you dont should send disks to! Sensei of Contex from Denmark con- tacted me March -90 and I sent a sen- ding with some hot stuff. But he did not return anything. So I sent a new letter and asked about my disks.And he told me that someother Contex member would soon contact me for swapping, because he was in bad condition becoz of a car-accident. Forget it!! Noooo fucking Contex member has sent me any- thing! So please, dont swap with the Contex from Denmark! They are disk- stealers! Loooook out! And now the address to this fucking diskstealer.... Sensei of Contex Ole Henriksen Kyov 13 8381 Mundelstrup Denmark -------------------------------------- CoolHead (Hi coolie!) reported about a diskstealer from Sweden. Stoneman of Maffia stolen some disks form him. A message to Stoneman: Send back 10 disks to CoolHead now! Otherwise we will eat you alive!

Send them to Stolen Data in Sweden! We want many! How about calling the fire- engine and tell them that there`s a big fire at the diskstealers home! Ha, then the fireengine will smash the door in! Haha! Then he must buy a new door! It will cost the diskstealer a lot of money! Or calling them in the nights and shout in the phone! Probably he will not like that and send your disks back at once! Maybe you could order pornomagazins to him! He will not like that for sure! Try to order some stuff from USA with a visa-card to his place! Hopefully he will get a visit from the police!? Or why not tell the software-police that he is a pirate!? Hmm, why not tell the police that he is a drugdealer?! Well, I can write much more...

They hope to have a second hst board running very soon, and hopefuly one in the USA.Image look like being a crew to watch out for!--------> - Slipstream - Party Report by MIKE + JESTER / QUARTEX Our journey to the party starts in Leicester where Mike Quartex meets up with ADS & Dax of Inner City, they leave at 7:30 pm, five hours later they arrive at my house; but before they get here they have many problems to overcome, firstly they arrive in my road but knock at the wrong house, luckily a gorgeous woman in a skimpy dressing gown answers, next they drive to Speedy Dennis's, he was out, in the meantime they try to call me, but they had the wrong number. Finally they get here, we start calling some boards and download the many new cracks available. After no sleep and much tiredness we decide to leave for Bournemouth. As the party is not far, we arrive within 45minutes of leaving my place. We park the car, see a sign 'SLIPSTREAM CONFERENCE' Cool!. We walk down the side of the hotel and find the conference hall, it was well furnished, it even had air conditioning, reluctantly we paid our entrance fees(4 pound is alot for a copy party). We'd arrived at 11:30 am at this time there was only about 50 people present; adjoining the main room were two small rooms, we occupied one and set up the modem. In the other room videos were being shown (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,Back to the Future 3) but the highlight was a porno movie where the 'star' turned into a green alien! By 14:00 many more guys had turned up, most of the English groups had made an appearance, by 17:00 the kickoff tournament had started. The winner was a Slipstream member aged 15, his prize: 2 porno movies!! At 18:00 the demo competition started, Dan of Slipstream collected all the demos,Slipstream,Anarchy,THR, Magnetic Fields & share and enjoy entered demos. The judges were to be Mike / QUARTEX, Havoc / ECSTACY Alchemist / Crack uk, myself plus two guys. After our first review, we'd THR,SAE and Slipstream all tied for 1st place, so we decided to judge the 3 remaining demos on GFX,MUSIC,TECHNICAL and LASTABILITY. The outcome was: of a possible 240 points, in third place came The Hacking Relation with 94 points, second place went to Slipstream with 139, and the overall winner was the amazing tunes 2 intro from SAE with 154 pts. The judges felt that the SAE demo was better than the Slipstream one because all the ideas in the SAE demo were their own, whereas the music in the Slipstream demo sounded too much like Romeo Knight/RSI. Of course Andi/Slipstream was furious and tried to make us change our minds, a case of a bad looser maybe! Anyways T.I.W received the prize on behalf of Comrade J (A Naksha Mouse). Then all the demos were compiled onto 2 disks, by 20:00 we had all left. Our next journey took us to L.F of Slipstream's (now Reaktor) house, of course they left too quickly so we had to buy a map and try and find the place .We got there really easy. Again the Green Alien porno movie was showing (cult viewing by all). We set up the modem (AGAIN!) and called the U.S boards took down a shitty demo by Paradox, but no more new wares. At around 23:00 we left Kevin's house and travelled to Gandalf of the Druids, we stayed there overnight before returning home in the morning. CONCLUSION: A cool party, good settings in sunny Bournemouth, lots of groups.It was well organised (well done Dan and Kevin),and I'm sure that Slipstream (now Reaktor) will hold another conference. Of the groups that attended here is a list of some of them: Slipstream (Yo Dan and Kevin),Quartex, Anarchy (Hi Mr. Big ), Ecstacy(ChillSteve(Havoc)),Silents UK (Burp! Dave),Cryptic,Crack UK, T.H.R. (I hope they got their mummy's permission to come),SAE (Russ, Dream Warrior); to name but a few. -------------------------------------- Hot news and Gossip! -------------------------------------- Do you have anything important to tell the world?

THIS IS NOT COMPLETE, CAUZ SOME MEMBERZ JOINED SYSTEM5 UK AND SYSTEM5 GERMANY. Q: Can you tell me a little about System 5, when you were born, your aims and intentions etc? A: We were born on august 1989. Our aims are to have fun, make some more modem activities and bring more quality stuff out. Q: You know have a UK division, can tell me a little about this, such as how it was formed? A: Our UK division was born in July '90 It was formed by Spellcaster who told me that he left his old group and so i asked him "Would u like 2 join us?" he said yes and some other members in the UK joined us too and so our divsion SYSTEM5 UK was born. Q: System 5's fame has been growing in the past few months, what do you put this success down to? A: That we made some nice productions, increased our contacts, get good connections, much qualified members joined us and that our stuff is available on the German Paranoimia board. Q: In this world of piracy, do ya think there is still a place for the "Games Buying Public" or is software heading straight for the pirates mouth? A: I think that there is still a place for the buying Public, but it is decreased. Q: Does System 5 plan to release a Megademo, or have you already released one that I missed? A: We do not plan to release a Mega- demo and we did not released one. We wanted to bring one out, but than we decided not to do it. Q: Do you think it is becoming essential that every group releases a megademo, regardles of quality? Afterall, a Megademo should be a MEGAdemo, should it not? A: I did not think so, cauz by a megademo can only some parts be great with great ideas while much groups always makes demos and so are not much good ideas left. Yes, by a megademo all parts should be megagood and not usually and not used very often. Q: What is the scene like is Germany and who are the leading five crews in your opinion? A: The scene is in Germany friendship and of course competition. The leading five groups are: 1. Vision Factory 2. Paranoimia 3. Quartex 4. Red Sector 5. Defjam/ACC/CCS The first three groups does not differ much from each other! Q: As "modem traders" continue to take over spreading, how important do consider "swap-partners" to be? Is the age of friendly mail trading coming to an end? A: Swap-partners are important, but every group should make modem- trading too. The age of friendly mailtrading is not over yet and do not come to an end I think, cauz not all have a modem and much modemtraders do mail trading too. Q: What are you plans for the future, both product wise and for the direction of the group? A: My plans for the future are to buy a 38.400 modem for me and make some trainers. The direction of our group is that we bring out a mag called "4 swappers". It is not a normal mag it should consist only of advertisments and perhaps some news. And we bring out the projects we are working on that are 2 Demos and the mag as allready mentioned. Q: Is there anything you want to add before we end this interview? A: You can send freea dvertisments as ascii code on a disc 4 the mag now and we are searching for some more cool members worldwide especially 4 our U.K. section.

Famous for his corruption (VDB), kidnappings (VDB), sex scandals ( VDB ,PUSSY ) disasters (VDB, CCC). One of the rare countries who still have a king (even if it is a real dickhead, Onzen Boudie) and one of the only few places on earth where you can crack and swap piss and eat as much as you want But now back to the question, how is the Belgiun scene doing? Well, we do not have many good groups left almost all groups died because of all the corruption and bad organisers Even PARALAMIA has died (because of a serious sex scandal, lots of corruption, some small disasters, and two kidnappings). The only living forces in Belgium at the moment (who are woth mentioning) are a small but productive cracking group called SKID ROW and the even upmost famous very productive and highly popular PUSSY, notorious for all their partys demos, compactings, music maestros etc are now working on a totally new and revolutionary production which will be released very soon. Watch out for it it'll certainly be worth waiting for! ************************************** WE REQUIRE SCENE REPORTS FROM THE FOLLOWING COUNTRIES.....

Barnsley South Yorkshire S71 1RS England Red Sector and The Silents Amiga Conference 1990 Report -------------------------------- From the 29/6 to 1/7 Silents and Red Sector Inc. had arranged a big conference in Glostrup, Denmark. The conference were held in a big sportshall called 'Glostrup Hallen' and it was a perfect place for a conference. There were a big swimming pool next to the place. There were a shopping center 300 m from the party place. Well we arrived at the place at 13:30, and we tried to get in, but we were not allowed to enter before 15:00. When we entered we saw a big hall with lot of tables and chairs. We settled down and after a few hours there were many people in the hall. The power supply were good, it only broke down very few times. In the 5-6 hours nothing real happend, only that people were running around and tried to settle down. More and more freak showed on Saturday. Really nothing happend because everybody was working on their demo's to be finished till the demo-competetion deadline at 9.00 Sunday morning. Some guys from Bloodsuckers drank alot of finnish vodka together with Slayer of Scoopex. Slayer was so drunk that he felt asleep. But the guys from Bloodsuckers started to fuck around and smashing things. They smashed all the locks at the toilet and wrote 'Bloodsuckers, The mega nazis' and stuff like that all over the toilets. I think that a VERY fucking bad attitude to have: Go to a copy party, get drunk and smash things. I think thats so FUCKING LAME!!!! If they think they are cool doing things like that, they must be sick!!! Apart from that the party went well. Some time during the party (I can't remember the exact time) RSI and Silents was playing some new music from Romeo Knight over their BIG stereo rack..... Well, I can only that Romeo Knight is THE best!!!! They were also playing a demo tape with synth music from Jesper Kyd and Michael Balle of Silents. Well that was very cool too!!!! The party went on, people were coding their demos, playing the latest games talking to their friends, some went to Copenhagen to go on disco while others were sleeping. But at last the big event was near... The demo-competetion!!!! At 9 o'clock the demos had to be given to the Silents guys. And at 12 o'clock the demo-competetion started!!!! We went to another big hall where we saw a 3x3 meters big screen and 4 big loudspeakers, where we saw and heard the latest demo from Silents. We were settled, and we got a voting sheed to vote for the demos. Then it all started. We saw a demo and after one demo, we had to vote. Points from 1-10 for : Coding, music, grafix, idea and overall. It was very cool to see the demos on such a big screen. Some of the teams competing were: Crionics, Silents, Synergy, Budbrain, Flash Production, Treacl, Cycron, Venom, Upfront, Kefrens and loads of other groups. The first prize in the competetion was : 1000$!!! No.2 got 500$ and No.3 got 250$. The result was like this. 1. Budbrain (megademo 2disks) 2. Crionics (megademo 1 disk) 3. Silents (a multidemo) 4. Flash Production (megademo 2disks) 5. Upfront (megademo 1 disk) After that people copied the demos from the competetion and leaved. A cool party was over. Yes, I said cool party because it was very good planned and the power supply was just ok. And the place was just perfect to a copy party. Exept from things like Bloodsuckers smashing things, fights, and somebody dropping tear gas, the party was one of the best ever held on danish ground. GOOD WORK BY SILENTS AND RED SECTOR!

What follows is a list of the most active crews in the UK at the time of writing this report..... SCOOPEX UK are in my opinion the most active guys when it comes to cracks and trainers, NOMAD and ELECTRA being the 2 reasons for this. NOMAD never seems to slow down when it comes to cracking and training, ELECTRA does not seem to do as much as NOMAD but his abilities should mean that in the future he should be releasing just as much for SCOOPEX UK as what NOMAD is doing... Next up is a new crew called REAKTOR, this group is made up from the best of SLIPSTREAM and MAYHEM In the past both MAYHEM and SLIPSTREAM have released fast cracks and trainers now that they have merged we expect to see more from this new crew.... The demo scene is quite different to the cracking scene in the UK..... ANARCHY have released 9 demo's/intros in the past month as well as running this disk magazine, ( I dont wish to appear biased about this opinion, but no other UK group has released as much as ANARCHY in the past months ) Some other notable demo crews in the UK are :- ECSTASY, CRYPTIC, IPEC ELITE MAGNETIC FIELDS, PSEUDO-OPS, MODESTY ANTHROX (HI MUNGO ), INTUITION....... And thats how I see the UK scene at the month ending AUGUST 1990..... THE EDITOR ************************************* THE FRIENDSHIP MOVEMENT by MUNSTER / SPREADPOINT ************************************* Perhaps ya have still heard something about FRIENDSHIP. But nevertheles I'll explain a little bit about this new movement. If ya look at the scene today you see a few groups which are organized professionally and make a lot of money in this business. You also see a lot of groups and persons buying from these groups. You see a lot of fights and struggles in the szene, you see groups on TV telling secrets that shouldn't be said officially, you see guys telling private addresses to the police, you see a lot of groups and guys suffering from inferiority complexes who maintain that they are the number one. But you also see a couple of groups which doesn't like this situation and decided to found a movement based on the spirit of friendship, teamwork and fun. Some of these groups are old groups, they still remember the first years on Amiga when only a few groups existed, when all have known each other, when they went to (coder-)meetings and had a lot of fun together. Some groups are younger ones, they are fed up with the spirit of business and competition, they wonna work in a creative way, they wonna exchange their experiences at this great machine and improve their knowledges in coding, music and GFX. And some only wonna have fun and cool chats, they wonna have nice contacts TOGETHER with other freaks, not AGAINST them. Considering this bad development of the scene in the last years some of the best-known groups decided to found a new label: FRIENDSHIP The aim of this movement is to build up a new scene based on friendship, teamwork, cool chats, exchanging knowldges and informations, helping each other and making cool visits and partys instead of always trying to be the number one (really silly), fighting against each other and as consequence of these bad activities making the officials treating simple freaks as real criminals. All the groups which join this movement called FRIENDSHIP spread this idea in all their productions. They also know all other members of FRIENDSHIP coz there are contact-persons in each group who can be contacted by all other member-groups of FRIENDSHIP. The groups in this movement help each other in all cases, e.g. they exchange sources, GFX and sounds, they visit and call each other. And they all can only laugh about groups who claim to be the number one and wonna be sooo coooooool. That's really childish, it's perhaps an aim for little kids, but not for mature computer-specialists. OK, i hope you understand now the aims and intentions of FRIENDSHIP. Now lets say a little about the organisation itself. At the beginning of 1990 I was really fed up with the situation in the scene and wanted to change something. So I searched for persons who thought in the same way. Beneave all SPREADPOINT members Cocaine of APEX agreed with me. Together we tried to spread this idea all over the scene, and something wonderful happened. We met a lot of guys of RED SECTOR at Cebit 90 and some partys and they all agreed!! And when I visited Hannover in the holidays, I met Cocaine, Mr. Soundwave and Dr. Beat. In this evening we founded FRIENDSHIP officially, RED SECTOR, APEX and SPREADPOINT. And we joined some other groups to this movement because I knew that they surely will work in FRIENDSHIP. Now has FRIENDSHIP the following members: Rebels, Subway, Fraxion, Venom, Vision, Red Sector, Apex and Spreadpoint. And a lot of groups want to join this idea. For all these guys who have the same aim like us I give ya now our FRIENDSHIP contact address for more infos. Also write to this address if ya want to join FRIENDSHIP: PLK 185996 E 3000 Hannover 1 W.-Germany If ya have a modem, call our FRIENDSHIP board (with 'coder-corner'), it goes down to 2400 Baud, coz we wonna give coders and other interested persons the chance to call this board (I think most people do NOT have a 14.4 US-robotics) Here's the number: +32 87866808 in Belgium. So that's all for today, if you are interested, feel free to contact FRIENDSHIP. Yours MUNSTER / SPREADPOINT PS: Of course ya can do only legal activities by these addresses. --------------------------------------- STOLEN DATA PRESENTS AN INTERVIEW WITH ELECTRA OF SCOOPEX BY JUDGE DROKK OF ANARCHY --------------------------------------- Q - HI ELECTRA, AND THANKS FOR TAKING THIS OPPERTUNITY TO BOOST YOUR SELF ESTEEM BY APEARING ON THE HALLOWED PAGES OF STOLEN DATA. NOW, MOST PEOPLE KNOW YOU AS 'ELECTRA OF SLIPSTREAM', SO CAN YOU TELL THE READERS WHY THIS INTERVIEW IS CALLED 'AN INTERVIEW WITH ELECTRA OF SCOOPEX'? A - WELL, I SUPPOSE YOU COULD SAY THAT IT STARTED LIKE THIS. A WEEK BEFORE THE SIXTEEN BIT SHOW ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE (WHICH PROBABLY MEANS NOMAD AND I DID SOMETHING FOR A CHANGE!) AND BECAUSE OF THIS AN OFFER FOR NOMAD TO JOIN SCOOPEX WAS MADE. SO AFTER SOME CONSIDERATION, LOADS OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND HUNDREDS OF PHONECALLS LATER WE JOINED. Q - DID YOU MAKE ANY ENEMYS IN IN SLIPSTREAM WHEN YOU LEFT, DID THEY DESPISE YOU AND THE OTHER GUYS THAT LEFT FOR TAKING AWAY 90 PERCENT OF THE GROUPS OUTPUT AND PUTING IT IN ANOTHER GROUP? A - I DIDN'T PERSONALLY LOOSE ANY FRIENDS FROM THE SPLIT. IT'S JUST A SHAME IT HAD TO HAPPEN WITHOUT THEM HAVING MUCH NOTICE. BUT THEN AGAIN THEY WILL PROBABLY GET ON BETTER WITH A SMALLER GROUP. I MUST ADMIT THAT AS A GROUP GETS BIGGER SO DO THE PROBLEMS (OUR END OF SLIPSTREAM AT LEAST ANYWAY ). Q - WHAT ACTUALY BROUGHT ABOUT THE 'BIG SPLIT', DID THE BOYS FROM SUNNY BORNMOUTH DISPLEASE YOU IN SOME WHAY AND YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DO BETTER OR DID SCOOPEX JUST OFFER YOU ALL HARD- DRIVES AND A PC ENGINE WITH CD ROM? A - THE REASON WHY WE LEFT FOR SCOOPEX IS THAT PAUL OF SLIPSTREAMS FEET WERE SO SMELLY WE HAD JUST ABOUT HAD ENOUGH!! HEHEHEHE!! NO, THE REAL REASON WAS THAT THEY PROMISED US THE CHANCE TO SUPPLY US WITH LOTS OF ORIGINALS TO CRACK, BECAUSE NOMAD AND I ENJOY CRACKING. EVEN SO, IF ANY MEMBER OF SCOOPEX IS READING AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE OFFER OF HARD-DRIVES, PC-ENGINES ETC.. I AM SURE NOBODY WOULD REFUSE (MINES A HARD-DRIVE PLEASE, BEG,BEG BEG , GROVEL GROVEL!! (HEHEHEHEHE!) Q - ARE YOU A TRUE BELEIVER IN THE MEANING OF THE WORD 'SCOOPEX' (FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW, IT MEANS SEX-COOP) A - NO COMMENT!, OKAY, ALRIGHT I'M COMING BACK TO BED IN A MINUTE GIRLS!!!!' OOOOPPPS, SORRY DONT PUBLISH THAT. I'VE GOT A CONTRACT WITH THE SUNDAY SPORT... I'LL BE ON THE FRONT PAGE (MAN FUCKS 100 GIRLS AT BREAKFAST TIME, I BET HE HAS HAD HIS WEETABIX. Q - EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT YOUR A 'TRAINER', BUT YOUR ALSO A CODER, MUSICIAN, AN ARTIST AND YOU CAN CRACK A BIT TOO, SO WHEN DO YOU GET TIME FOR THE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE, LIKE BEER, FOOD, SEX & WANK MAGS? A - HEEEEEEEYYYY, YOUR JUST LUCKY I GET TIME TO DO THE TRAINING,, MUSIC ETC THAT I DO GET ROUND TO WITH A BUSY SOCIAL LIFE LIKE MINE. I MEAN I MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS CAUGHT AIDS SEVEN TIMES OF SEVERAL WOMEN. AND TO BE HONEST I DONT NEED TO PLEASE MYSELF FROM UTTERLY BORING METHODS LIKE DIRTY MAGAZINES. I MEAN, DOING A CRACK REALLY TURN S ME ON!! HEHEHEHE!! Q - WHAT IS THE THING THAT APEALS TO YOU MOST ABOUT THE AMIGA SCENE? I MEAN, THERE ARE HARDLY ANY BIRDS TO SPEAK OF, AND WHAT THERE ARE PROBABLY WEAR 'HITLER SPECS' AND HAVE 'FA CUP' EARS! A - FIRST THINGS FIRST(WELL THIS IS THE USUAL RUN OF THINGS) I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR LADY FRIEND LOOKS LIKE, YOU CAN KEEP HER. IM NOT INTO GIRLS WITH BEARDS!! THE THING THAT REALY APEALS TO ME IS THE CHANCE TO READ THROUGH THE COLUMNS OF STOLEN DATA AND LAUGH AT DA SPEELING MISHTAKEZ. IT MAKEZ MI LARF ALORT... HEEEEEEYHEEEYHEEEYA.. Q - HOW DO YOU GET ON WITH 'NOMAD', IS HIS EVER CHANGING 'HANDLE', A REFLECTION OF HIS PERSONALITY, AND IS IT TRUE WHAT IT SAID ABOUT YOU AND HE IN THE SUN LAST WEEK? A - I SUPPOSE OLD NOMAD AND I GET ON OKAY,IT'S JUST THAT THE FRONT PAGE FEATURE IN THE SUN WAS WRONG AS USUAL. IT SHOULD HAVE READ........ `TWO YOUNG MEN TO DAY WERE CAUGHT BY THE POLICE AFTER DOING AN INCREDIBLE SPEED DOWN THE M.42 LAST NIGHT. WHEN QUESTIONED NOMAD REPLIED..WELL, I JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW FAST ME OLD CAR COULD GO.. TO WHICH THE POLICE ANSWERED, YES, BUT HOW MANY TURBO CHARGED PLASTIC PIGS DO YOU SEE DOING 140 MPH....' (HEHEHEHE HI NOMAD, MATE!!!) Q - WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE BRITISH SCENE COMPARED WITH OUR WORLDWIDE COUNTERPARTS?, DO YOU THINK WE CAN KEEP UP WITH THE PACE OR ARE WE BEING LEFT BEHIND IN ANY WAY? A - I THINK THAT IF A GROUP IS PREPARED TO PUT IN THE BIT OF EFFORT THAT IS NEEDED THEN WE WILL KEEP UP JUST FINE. EVEN MORE SO AS MORE AND MORE GROUPS ARE GETTING MODEMS NOW.. Q - NOW ONE OF THOSE BORING QUESTIONS EVERYBODY ASKS.. WHO IN YOU OPINION ARE THE TOP FIVE GROUPS (CRACKING OR OTHERWISE) IN THE UK?.. AND I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHO YOUR FAVOURITE FIVE WORLDWIDE CODERS, MUSICIANS AND ARTISTS ARE... A - PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE ALL MY OPINIONS AND ARE NOT DESIGNED TO OFFEND IN ANY WAY. TOP FIVE GROUPS.... 1 - US - SCOOPEX 2 - ORACLE UK 3 - ANARCHY (DO I HAVE TO) 4 - ACIDFORCE 5 - SLIPSTREAM I PERSONALLY WOULD NOT REALLY BE PREPARED TO JUDGE INDIVIDUALS FOR THERE EFFORTS AT MUSIC, ETC... HOWEVER IN MY OPINION THESE GROUPS SURE HAVE THERE ACT TOGETHER DEMO- WISE... R.S.I., SCOOPEX FINLAND, CULT, FLASH PRODUCTION, KEFRENS, ETC... Q - CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AND HOW THE AMIGA SCENE AFECTS EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE ELECTRA HOUSEHOLD? A - WELL, FIRST THING IN THE MORNING I WAKE UP, HAVE A JUMP WITH THE TART I PICKED UP LAST NIGHT, AND THEN GET UP. AFTER THE CHIT-CHAT AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE I GET DRESSED (HOW BORING) THEN I GO TO THE NEAREST SCHOOL TO DO A BIT OF CHILD PORN. THEN I GO ROUND TO VARIOUS GIRLS HOMES. AT TWO IN THE MORNING AFTER MY MIDNIGHT HAUNT AS A WEREWOLF IN THE PARK I COME HOME, SWITCH ON THE OLD AMIGA FOR AN HOUR OR SO. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS A NORMAL COMMON ROUTINE USED BY ALL AMIGA OWNERS ALIKE.NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT MY DAY. Q - WELL THAT ABOUT WRAPS UP THIS INTERVIEW, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD BEFORE WE END THIS INTERVIEW? (YOU CAN TURN OFF NOW READERS, HE'S GOING TO TALK SHIT! ..JD). A - FIRSTLY I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IF I EVER SEE YOU AGAIN I WILL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND USE IT AS A BOWLING BALL. NEXT IS A FEW HELLOS.. HI TO- NOMAD, NICK, YOYO, INFILTRATOR, JAY, VINCE, SCOOTER, SPRITZ, JROK(HI!), ADS, ALL MEMBERS OF SCOOPEX WORLDWIDE, POWERCUT(YOU FAT SLAG), COMRADE J, BAZ N DRAC OF MIRAGE UK, AND TO EVERYBODY ELSE EXCEPT JUDGE DROKK!

Indeed,judging from appearences it doesn't even look like a computer,finished in matt black,at a casual glance it could be easily mistaken for a VCR or CD player,with many similiar controls and LED track counter.Yet when you start to look at the specifacations,it is immedietly recognisable that its silicon guts are the same as inside your familiar Amiga,with a full complement of the same custom chips,Agnus,Denise and Paula.Along with 1 Megabyte of Chip Ram,and 1.3 OS with modifications to handle data decompresion from the CD drive it is essentially an Amiga with a CD drive. Unfortunatly though,this is exactly what Commodore don't want you to think, and instead it is to be marketed as a multimedia machine,more of an executive, yuppie toy,than a computer ( after all,you don't get grown men buying games machines,do you? ).This is what it will remain as well,as the expected price tag is over 750,more than an Amiga and Monitor!.Commodore are aiming to sell 1 milion machines in the next two years,perhaps optimistic?. Screen resolution will be the same as the standard Amiga,but because of the data transfer rate of 150K/sec,it will be unrealistic to hope to see full motion Video,so forget about animation similiar to Dragan's Lair laser disc version, animation will be limited,proving beyond doubt that it's not an Amiga CD console. It's main function is what Commodore term "Edutainment",that is,Education and Entertainment,although you would have to be pretty bored,and uneducated to spalsh out 750.The introductory disk,the equivalent to "The Very First", and probably as bad,contains such grippingly interesting subjects like "The Victoria and Albert Museum","Rain Forest" and other such wonders...... We can only wait with baited breath for its launch (can't we?),and although not as good as it could be,perhaps restricted by cost factors,it can only improve the situation for optical media storage and players,paving the way for the only viable alternative to the magnetic disk,CD RAM.Hopefully we won't have to wait to long for a true Amiga with a CD drive as optical technology costs will decrease with the expansion in the market brought about by Commodore's machine. -- Count Zero -- PS.

By Teeze for Stolen Data! -------------------------------------- I (Teeze) got a horrible cool idea a few weeks ago! This might only work in Sweden, but I think it can be done by others too! It is all very simple! Just follow the instuction s and it will go fine! Do you know what a collect call is? This cheat is a sort of collectcall. In Sweden we have collectcall BA call. That means `Betalas av andra person'or in english PS,`Payed by second person` If you call from Sweden to a guy in New Zealand (for example) I dont think he wants to pay your phonecall. Hahah! Then we have something called BT call. (Betalas av tredje person ) or in English PT (payed by third person!). Hehe! You will not pay and the other guy will not pay! But who will pay then? Yeeees! We have something called `Heta linjen` in Sweden and in english = The chat line! On this `Chat Line` you can have a nice chat with unknown people! So then you just have to fix up that the`Chat Line`will pay for the -------------------------------------- phonecall! Anyway.....READ THE INSTRU- CTIONS CAREFULLY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Prepare your phonecall! Find piece of paper at write down... a.Your name (dont use the same twice!) b.Your friends name (who will `pay`). c.The number you want to call. d.A not so well used chatline-number! 2. Phone the operator in Sweden. Different numbers depending where you wanna call. Sweden: 000 Scandinavia: 0012 World wide: 0018 3. Say like this (swedish!): Y: Hello! I want a BT call to ____ Then she will ask you who will pay, name, your name, where you are calling from, who you wanna call and his name. call and his name. 4. You just give her the number to the chatline, your friend fasle name, your false name, the number to the phonebox you are using, the number and name to your friend far far away! 4. The opearator must check if the chatline can accept. Remember that you are calling from a phonebox, otherwise she will tell you to hang up and then she could call you back. But if you use a phonebox she dont!!!!! 5. Oooops. Your dear friend happens to be on the chatline at the moment!! She will then ask for (your friends false name!). He says: - Yes. Here I am!. - Is it possible for Mr.X to charge a phonecall on you to 'West-Germany'? - Eh? Well, okay but only for 3 hours! - Okay. Thanks Mister! 6. Hehehe! She will now return to you and put you threw! Now you can chat with your friend in Deutchland for 3 hours! This very nice cheat works fully in the United States of Sweden! I dont know if it works in your country too! Please, write a letter and inform me if it works or not in your bloody country! Write to: Teeze of SEDGE (SD SwedenHQ) Spovg 7 941 39 Pitea Sweden.

You see I have this tendency to swap with the bigest lamers I can find, then I meet them down at the shows, this is where the problem arises, I get hungry and eat them for breakfast! (more filling than shredded wheat!) Please help if you can! Signed.. Electra of Scoopex(UK) Drokk says.. Fuck me! You big arsehole! You dont have a problem, you have what we Psycological Therapists call "a gift". Eating lamers is a pastime all high profile scenegoers would love to undertake but we just dont have the balls. You are a credit to your group and I be very suprised if they let you go now that your "secret" is out. What I sugest is that you visit every show, and attend every copyparty that comes along (the Magnetic Fields party should be a good picking!) Gobble Gobble Gobble! Next problem please... ----------------------------------------- ---- DEAR MR DROKK Page 2 ---- ----------------------------------------- Dear Mr Drokk, I'm a member of a small Swiss group called "Mediator", and my problem is we cant find a fucking coder! We've tried everything, we've placed add's, asked our contacts, everything!!! I'm even thinking of putting an add in a newspaper job page. We've got an artist (an apprentice he loves drawing) and he does some very cool fonts. We also have a musician, he's going to do some stuff when he leaves school. I'm despersate, I'll do anything (apart from pay!) to get one. Please help... Signed.. Spook of Mediator Drokk Says Fuck me!, give me a hankie somebody quick! You realy do have a problem!. A non-cracking group without coders is an unknown entity! What you have to realise, is that coders (above gutter level) arent going to join an unknown group with no hope of having their work spread. It's like telling jokes to a dead audience. Have you thought of ways you could produce original material that dosent require a coder? You have a musician and an artist, so why not make a small start by producing music disks? I know this is nothing major but you will never get anywhere doing nothing. Failing that.... join Pendle Europa!! ---------------------------------------- ---- DEAR MR DROKK Page 3 ---- ---------------------------------------- Dear Mr Drokk, Can you help me?, I am obscenely in love with a pot of strawberry yoghurt!! My obsession has been to the extreme of glueing my testicles to a bus station wall and to be frank, toffee apples don't close kitchen drawers often enough for even Vic Reeves to be impressed. If possible could you send me a cling film parcel filled with utter remorse and cabbage. Yours without a hankercheif.. Uppy of Intuition Drokk says My dearest 'Uppy', what you have found is a very special kind of love. A unique love that nobody can take away from you. In fact the only thing that could possibly marr this wonderful relationship is your own mind, as long as you think that being in love with with a pot of strawbery yoghurt is normal, then you will be happy. Dont let it upset you if you are mocked in the local cinema, smooching with you true desire, or walking hand in carton down the lane. As for Vic Reeves, toffee apples, remorse and cabbage and kitchen drawers, try asking the fucking yogurt! THE FINNISH SCENE by FIRECODE / AMAZE Finnish scene is one of the most-known scenes because of lot of articles and scene-reports in magazines. Nowadays Finnish scene has changed quite a lot. UNIQUE has died . . . ANIMATE has fall down . . . etc. Lot of big changes has happened here in finland and that's why i'm writing this now. This report contains some of my opinions and you can freely disagree. But I think this contains also most facts about Finnish scene. Let's start . . . 1. I think that number one in Finland is EXODUS ! They produce quite a lot. Cool demoes, cool intro's and a lot of cool stuff! Nowadays Exodus have members from Animate, Unique and from some other Finnish groups. Exodus have one board in Finland also. They have cool coders, graphicians and musicians . . . what else good demogroup needs . . . ? I've also heard that they maybe start to crack and train games . . . let's hope it's true! Exodus is also known of their modem-traders and imports. They really deserve place number 1 in Finland. 2. Second in Finland must be SCOOPEX. They do much ! And if somebody cares quality it's Scoopex They have made some masterpieces like Seven Sins, Mental Hangover. Also made some very cool intro's ! Members of Scoopex know what they do and they do it with quality My opinion is that Scoopex has best coders in Finland . . . ! Their spreading is also cool, but not as cool as Exodus, because Scoopex really hasn't got much swappers ..... ! Nothing else to say . . . Absolutely No.2 in Finland . . . . . . . ! 3. Then it's quite hard to deside who's next ... ! But i think it's Wizzcat. Yes, WIZZCAT is (my opinion) number 3 in Finland ! They made lot . . . quality isn't same as Scoopex or Exodus, but it isn't either bad... Lot of demo's, some intro's and some trainers are Wizzcat's weapons. Sometime ago their spreading was real bad but now they had improved it. Wizzcat stays in my mind as a good demogroup. . . 4. In this place must be CAVE. They don't do much, but not either too little... quality is like Wizzcat's . . . Nothing VERY special and nothing lame . . . They are most known about their Modem imports and their cool spreading . . . 5. It's hard to decide between CLONES and BLOODSUCKERS... but i think fifth is Clones . . . They have made some demoes and some intro's (not very special) There's almost nothing I can say . . . . . Reliable group with weird and funky members . . . . . . . . CONTINUED.... I don't rank the others, because it's real hard job to deside who is better and so on . . . . here's something about the other teams in Finland . . . BLOODSUCKERS (as mentioned) is quite cool group . . . Real dissapoinment was Megaparty . . . There won't be it . . . ! DISKNET is also quite known Finnish team . . . They have made some nice demos ... Sometime ago their best swapper joined Unique and after that to SILENTS . . . ACCESSION is almost dead . . . old legend . . . BEYOND FORCE is one sleepy demogroup . . . too old . . . ! TEAM-X is quite known . . . They have released some lousy demoes and introes . . . spreading is real poor . . . BYTERAPERS is old legend but t hey have released some demoes . . . let's see . . . DUAL CREW FINLAND are some old members of Freedom force . . . GATE was sometime ago a cool group, but isn't anymore ! OK, there are still some other groups, but I think that they aren't worth of mention so I won't write about 'em ! There are also some lamergroups, which are at "war" with almost everybody and think that just they are best and there's no others ... I won't name these groups, because it would broke all their dreams in their small head . . . ! Yep, this is the story of Finland in June 90 ! Some late words: I've heard a rumour that the best members of EXODUS will left the lamers and form some very new group . . . We'll see ...! This scene report was written at beginning of June and I can't tell the things happened after that. Sure you understand ! (FIRECODE/AMAZE) ------- GOSSIP CORNER ------ -Have YOU heard the latest?- -------BY JUDGE DROKK------- Welcome to the Stolen Data gossip page. A page designed to keep you up to date with whats happening on the Amiga scene throughout the World!. What's the latest?. Slipstream have split up, key members (in the cracking and training department) have moved to Scoopex, the remaining members merged with Mayhem to form Reaktor. Sky are dead members joined forces with a U.S group... Random, but then Random split, and most members joined Scoopex, they were Stryper, Spreader, Afterburner and Anon. Spellcaster Left Brainwave UK & joined Extreme, after one week he left and formed System 5 UK. Splatt has left Vision and is now a member of Classic. the four best members of TETRAGON joined DUAL CREW they are JBM, TRIGON, JOKER, and HATER and ADS of QUARTEX has been bust for credit card fraud ( tut tut ) Exodus and Unique have merged to form IMAGE(See Profile). Ilusions UK have split up, half of the ex-members have formed a new group called Crack. Hybrid, Greystar & Batman left Mercenary and formed Omicron UK. Mnemonic has left the Untouchables and joined Pseudo-Ops just in time for Pseudo-Ops to join Defjam! Hotwire has left Inner City and is now a member of Modesty, and he's now called Interq. Galdor has left The Druids and is now a member of the new group Rare. The D.C.S and Tristar cooperation is over, Tristar are now in cooperation with Red Sector Inc. Rocksteady has left Miracle and has joined Rebels. Acid force & The hacking Relatiom have both dissolved. Chrome are dead, this is due to their best coder leaving to join the Silents. Paranoimia are dead following a drugs bust, remaining members formed Skid-Row. Del has left Mayhem, Slipstream(now Reaktor), S.A.E and XXX International and has joined Anarchy. Amaze and Possesed are no longer in cooperation, the shortest merger ever...maybe?. And thats this months gossip in the order I heard it! Stolen Data assembler reviews! By: Teeze of SEDGE! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Macro Assembler. The Macro Assembler,by Metacomco,is noteworthy because it was the first and, for a long time,the only assembler for the Amiga. Thus, it became the standard.To this day Commodore uses the MacroAssembler for develo- ping new Kickstart releases; all include files were written specifically for Metacomco`s assembler. With such an important role, it is for tunate that the Macro Assembler is quite good. It closely follows the specifications set by Motorola,the manufacturer of the 68000 chip. Sensible extensions to the Moto- rola specification are included to make programming easier. The Macro is, however, slow; it flops out of the gate at a dead crawl. This assembler needs a bit of updating to compete today. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Devpac Amiga. Devpac is unique (not you Unique!), thoughtfully-engineered package.It includes an integrated editor/assembler,but also offers the option of a stan-alone CLI version. It can turn assembly directly into normal execu- table file.It can also produce a linkable module,or even direct absolute code (useful for burning ROMs, or patching existing code). Despite the fact that Devpac was ported from Sinclair QL and Atari ST, shows little or no stigma. The disk includes quality examples to get you started, although an additional exemple requiring data to be directed to chip RAM would be most welcome. The manual offers hand holding for beginners (although the tutorial on how to use the CLI aims a bit low). Experts can conveniently skip through it. Devpac is free of rough edges and awkward features.Error handling is graceful after assembly, you simply hit the right-Amiga and J keys to access the next line with an error. The MonAm debugger,like the rest of the package, is tiny, fast,and efficient. It can read in debug hunks produced by other assemblers, trap Gurus, single Stolen Data assembler reviews! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- step code, and examine registers and memory. While additional tracing options (such as "slow run") and expression evaluation would be appreciated, MonAm is up to the task. I have only two complaints.First, it cannot take advantage of large displays because its screen size is fixed. Second,on the A500 and 2000, the search function crashes if it does not find what you asked for. While I found absolutely no bugs in the assembler, the current Devpac version has several major limitations.All are clearly and honestly spelled out in the manual. Among the important ones is an inabililty to support local labels, which hurts. Also,labels may not be longer than 16 characters.This is awkward because some Amiga ROM calls have long names, but Devpac compensates by renaming them. Althogh only one SECTION directive is allowed per file, this is tolerable because you can split your work into multiple files. Lastly, the editor`s work space does not expand dynamically as more text is entered, and you can edit only one file at the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Cape 68k. Cape 68k comes with a built-in editor that can act either as a tripped-down EMACS or a WordStar clone.The editor does not dynamically adjust its text buffer size when text is added, although there is a capability for editing files larger than the buffer. Other than pulldown menus, no Amiga features are used; you can`t even point and click to move the cursor. You can save the entire configuration of the editor and assembler to a file with a single command. Except for the fact that you can edit only one file at the time, CAPE`s editor is easy and pleasant to use. A unique feature of CAPE 68k is an ARexx-style message port. ARexx (William S. Hawes) program owners can write programs to control the editor and assembler remotely. Stolen Data assembler reviews! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The assembler is nearly 100% compatible with the Metacomco standard, and goes well beyond that. Converting programs written for other assemblers will be easy. CAPE has more features than any other contender. One particularly nice option is MACFILE, which works just like INCLUDE, realizes that most include files need to be looked at only on the first pass (all the others read each include file twice). CAPE 68k supports a healthy set of optimizations, including just about every- thing except changing forward-long branches to forward-short. CASM, the same assembler without an integrated editor, is included on the disk. The editor crashed twice during the testing, and displayed a few other minor glitches. The assembler fails to flag an error if you attempt mulu.l. The - o command-line option does not work;a specific OBJFILE directive must be in the source. Inovatronics` generous upgrade policy allows you to simply exchange your master disk for the latest version. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. LATTICE ASM. The LATTICE C compiler comes bumdled with an assembler. It is clear that this is intended primarily as a support tool for the C compiler, and not to stand alone. ASM is just barely Metacomco-compatible enough to deal with most of the standard include files, although some do not assemble properly. Macro support is incomplete. There are no temporary variables, instruction variants such as bchg.b are disallowed,and ASM doesn`t support such important assembler direc- tives as EQUR. Converting standard examples generally requires tedious work. On the positive side,ASM gives you excellent control over selective placement of sections in chip or fast memory.As expected, the capabilities of ASM comp- lement the Lattice C compiler; ASM can create base-relative code and data for later manipulation by Blink. The Lattice assembler is the only one that comes with a full, commented set of the newest include files (I am of the opinion that all serious programmers should own a set). Documentation, however, is terrible. There are a few scanty pages that do not even touch on some of the most important features. The complex and critical CSECT directive receives no coverage; there is no mention of the - u option required to assemble examples on disk. Specifying a large number of registers in a MOVEM instruction produces incorrect code and corrupts memory. Attempting to use a binary constant such as "label equ % 1011" produces incorrect code. The CNOP directive is broken and can cause bad code, and ASM will smugly place word and long-word data on odd boundaries without warning. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. AZTEC AS.ManxsAztec C compiler produces code by first translating to 68000 assembly and then assembling the result; thus an assembler is resident in the program. In recent versions, this assembler has been upgraded to the point where it can stand on its own. Metacomco compatibility is good.It handles the standard include files with no problems, and you can coerce it into assembling most source code with only minor hassles. Aztec offers the best code-optimization features of any of the packages. The program optimizes forward and backward jumps, jump subroutines, and branches, as well as moves to data registers. The only real problem is that Aztec uses its own object-file format. This effectively locks Aztec users into their own world.The Aztec linker has options to bring a subset of standard Amiga object files in; the assembler should have an option to put such files out. Any DCB.B instruction with more than 160 elements produces incorrect code. With moveq, it is impossible to take the length of an area; for example, "moveq#endcode-startcode,d0" will not work. Even with optimization of, some code sequences are still optimized; this sin is hard to forgive............... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. ASSEMPRO. Assempro has one unique (them again!?) feature: if it encounters an error during assembly, a box pops up on the screen, allowing you to type in a correction and continue. It`s even nice enough to automatically update the file in the editor. From this point onward things go downhill. The fundamental problem with Assempro is that not enough effort was put into porting it to the Amiga. Assempro combines a tightly-integrated editor,assemb- ler, disassembler, debugger, and quick-reference utility in one huge program, an approach held over from the Atari ST version. When you boot up Assempro,all four major modules open windows that cannot be closed separately. The editor is painfully slow and so buggy that the authors of the manual found it necessary to mention at least one defect in print.Assempro crashed 57 times before I stopped counting. By working slowly and avoiding sudden moves, it is possible to get things done. Possible, but not pleasant! There is no way to automate the assembly process. Assempro wont take arguments from the CLI. In order to use Assempro,you have to load the whole ball of wax. The assembler does not conform to the Metacomco standard, or to the more elemental Motorola standard. I was unable to find a single source file in my collection that would assemble without changes.Assempro cannot read the stand- ard include files; a heavily-edited custom set is on disk.Already these inclu- des are absolete, and, worse yet, the editing job is imperfect. The debugger is the high point of the package.It is reasonably capable and has a natural feel. Unfortunately,it has difficulty fitting into the Amiga enviro- nment; it cannot read standard debug hunks,and common multitasking situations cause it to lock up. Assempro would benefit greatly if all the modules were unbundled into separate multitasking modules,and more attention was given to make them Amiga programs. There would be no need to lose the integration, and modules could communicate via message ports. As it stands, Assempro is overshadowed by six other assemblers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Picking up the pieces Three of the packages - Devpac, Cape and Assempro - come with built-in text editors, none of which is spectacular. They work, but the average user will probably want something better. All but Assempro allow you to import any text- editor you can choose. Only Lattice ASM, Cape and Aztec support the objectfile magic the linker needs to patch together multiple baserelative modules. Base-realative addressing reserves an address register to point to the middle (base) of the data area, and uses short relative references to dramatically reduce program size. Any of the assemblers can fake this, but only for all-assembly programs. Devpac is perfect for small stand-alone assembly work, and for beginners. Cape is the next step up in power. If 68020 or 68881 code is what you want, Aztec`s assembler is the one for you. Remember, though, that using it locks you into the Aztec enviroment. If you plan on creating assembly modules for use with another language, you will need to match capabilities. For use with Aztec C, the Aztec assembler is the only practical choice. For Lattice C, the assembler is fine to start with, but once you outgrow its capabilities you may want to upgrade to CAPE!Any ass- embler is suitable for use with BASIC. You will probably need to create object files in Amiga Format for use with any other languages (such as Modula-2), which puts Aztec and Assempro out of the running. Any of the others should do, though, but I recommend checking with the language vender to be sure. Assemblers run the gamut from beginner- to expert-oriented, from fully compa- tible to incompatible, and from bugfree to buggy. There are many possible solutions to the assembly riddle; look carefully at your present and future needs to determine which will complete the picture for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Macro Assembler Devpac + Aztec C68k Metacomco PLC HiSoft distributed by: distributed by: Sothern Technologies Manx Software Systems 3212 Beltline Rd., Suite 301 One Industrial Way W.

SC: In fast words, I'm 19, I'm French and I get bored of liars. My main time is spent in school, Amiga listening music, and studying french (you know that french is the most beautiful langage over the world, according to me!). I spend about 1 hour a day in front of my Amiga (during school) and 6 hours a day (during hollidays). SD: When were Sun Connection founded and by whom ? SC: Sun Connection born at the end of 1988. That means that we born about a year ago.I founded Sun Connection with a friend of mine, U2. He stopped now on Amiga, but sometimes draw for us a cool sculpt 4d picture. He made our first tunes So, I'm the only member left.... SD: Name the current members and their Roles in the group... SC: Geronymho : Organizer, Main swapper and I make musics with my friend Cobburn. HDWR: (that means Hardware!) Graphic Artist Revolution: Coder Axis: Code and Gfx Pixstar: Sculpt Artist End of Data: Swapper Omen: Dpaint Artist Cobburn: Sound Artist Saxon: Gfx Artist. I must say that we are friends (that's not the same in all teams.) In fact, we're 9, and I think it's quiet a good number. Two or three members will join soon. SD: What were you initial ambitions and do you feel youve fulfilled any ?? SC: Our initial ambitions were: To make our best, (and not be the best), To create NICE things, To get a bit famous (for example beeing interviewed by a cool mag like Stolen Data!!!), to be friends To avoid arrogant people We thing we do our best (it's up to you to have an opinion, and think if our best is lame or cool), we create nice things (hope!), we're interviewed by several mags (see !) and we're friends. But we failed in avoiding arrongant people. They're too many!! SD: What do you think is your best production so far ?? SC: I really don't know what is our best production so far... We are always thinking of tomorow. Yesterday does not really interest us... (we're philosophs, don't you think so?!). Maybe you can answer for me?! In fact, we are proud of our productions, but we think it could be better. So, we hope to do better again! SD: What do you think your Group is best at and why ?? SC: Your question is a good one. I said that our plans were to make nice things. Would you be satisfied if I say to you that we plan Sun Slide III? hehe, not at all ( it's yet released). All right, here's my answer. That's not a coincidence About 10 graphic artist failed in joining us, because our graphic selections are really hard... and that's the reason why what we release is worth beeing used like TRUE graphix. In common demos graphix are not really important. We decided to make the graphix important. We are proud of our graphix, it's maybe the thing we do best. For example, Crusaders are best for tunes ( they're not bad at all!!! ), we hope to be good at graphix. SD: What are your future productions ?? SC: Sun Slide III is finished. The rest is not finished yet, so wait'n see! We hope a lot in a new great cooperation, soon to born SD: Have you ever thought about releasing cracks ?? SC: We thought about releasing cracks We're not interested in. There are many people who do that for us. SD: What are your views on Software Piracy and how it effects the programmers and Software Houses ?? SC: Maybe software houses should stop to pay mags to tell us how great a shit is. When they will stop to release so lame productions, saying it's another revolution, maybe they will sell more. I noticed that sometimes crackers ask people to buy software when the soft is cool. That's a good idea. The Sim City's coder is worth beeing congratulated The coder of Altered Beast or other shit should come back to his mother's home, and fuck his dog instead of making lamers buy his shit (and mags tell lies about it!) WHY can't we pay more a virgin disk (like french SACEM in France for cassettes), and the add can't be given to software houses? And so cops would let us live our life! (sorry for my bad english). Nobody can stop cracking, but somebody can stop prohibition, and give software house money taken for empty disks! My last word: it's too expensive!!! SD: What do you think about the French Amiga Scene ?? SC: French Amiga Scene? Well... Let me think... We are friends with Demons Dragons did cool demos. We have friends like Doxos, Drifters,... There are DMAcon, Cyclone, Mystics too... But many lamers think they're best ( they only want to stay arrogant). To lie is to rule We hate that! Brain Wave told lies about us in Zine ( Arakis said we would die ! ). We never said something about Arakis, and we wonder where he finds his news (it has never been true that 4 members left us! : we were 5 two months ago and we're now 9!!!).!). We hope it was a mistake. French scene is less interesting than french girls! Maybe this will change because we plan something great with Demons and others cool teams. Wait 'n see! SD: What do you think about Modem Trading ?? SC: Modem trading is too expensive SD: Who do you rate as the Best..... Crackers, Trainers, Demo Makers Musicians, Grafix and Swappers ?? SC: I can't rate crackers, nor trainers Many of them release 100 percent cracks, fast, and nice. Nothing more to say. Best demo makers are RSI, Rebels and some others. Best graphix are done by RSI (again!), some good ones by others teams, but they have not always the same quality. Best musics are by many people ( and that's fun! ): Crusaders ( whaaoo Dr Awesome and Fleshbrain! Bacteria was far away better than the others ( already cool ) music disks ! ) Rebels ( Static has got an hypnothical style !), RSI, and some others... Best swappers? That's hard to answer. I like fast people sending quality, beeing friendly That's hard to find. Fast people have often nothing to say. Others are really friendly but often don't send really good stuff... Others send always quality, but are not fast, or not friendly. I think quality and friendship are better than to be fast ( it's always possible to get the stuff, but not to get friends...). My best swap friends are Eddie of Silents ( fast and friendly ), Tee Djay of Powerlords UK (long long letters !) and Billy of Demons (always saying what he think, even if it is to criticile). I enjoy to write to IBB because I speak Italian ( I get sometimes bored of english!) with them (I try!). SD: What do you rate as the best Demo of all time ?? SC: According to End of Data, The best demo of all time is The Thrust Ottifan demo. According to Cobburn that is the RSI demos. I really don't think that there is ONE best demo. Many demos are cool. What End of Data and Cobburn said is right. SD: What Game do you like best ?? SC: E.O.D. enjoys Jumping Jack Son I don't agree. With Cobburn, we meet during hours at Tennis Cup That's a great challenge! But maybe Shadow of the Beast is the best game ever. SD: A bit of a cheeky one this !! What do think about Stolen Data ?? Sc: I remember to have enjoyed Stolen Data when I saw it. But I was in an exam, so I don't really remember School work, you know... (sorry!) I haven't seen the paper mag yet I will ask for it when I get time (I still have exams!). SD: Any Last Words..... SC: Well, I t hink it's over. So sorry for bad english, and good night everybody, from Geronymho of Sun Connection! Write to me: Geronymho of Sun Connection, LARA, 84570, METHAMIS, FRANCE. We won't steal your disks, because we're not stealers. NO ARROGANT PEOPLE. Send your own made productions, or news, or even better, modules and samples! Life wouldn't be life without music! SD: Thanks for talking to us Geronymho And Good Luck with all your future productions......... Interview conducted by HAMMER / ANARCHY FOR STOLEN DATA INTERVIEW WITH PARADOX ---------------------- BY MOLE - ANARCHY Q1 - Hello,could you tell me your name how old you are and which group you belong to? A1 - Hi MOLE,my name is CLASH,I`m 17.5 years old and belong to PARADOX. Q2 - How many members are there in PARADOX and what do they all do ? A2 - We`re made up of about 30 in France, Denmark and U.S.A.. Many members have got loadsa functions We are made up of (on 28 June 90) 3 crackers 6 original suppliers 3 musicians 10 coders 8 traders(modem & mail) 4 artists The main editor of News on Tour (who lives in Germany) Q3 - What groups were you in before PARADOX? A3 - I`ve been in the scene for 1.5 years. I started in some little group before joining M*A*D and now PARADOX. Q4 - How did PARADOX get formed,why? A4 - Some cool and great guys of MAD, Trilogy,Rebels and Dexion decided to join their forces in order to make a famous group with 2 main objectives: Being in the top 3 best groups in cracking AND coding. I think we have succeeded and we`ll continue for a long time - from time out of mind! Q5 - Whats the french postal service like? A5 - They`re too often on strike and not regular enough. Q6 - How do you rate the French scene compared to the rest of Europe? A6 - Well generally speaking, the French scene is very lame coz of the police activity.So there are no famous groups except PARADOX and DRAGONS .But in fact,coz of police,, these groups have NO relations with the other french lamers, ( except cool guyz!!! ) otherwise we would be caught. Thats the reason we dont crack any games in French language coz only french lamers are interested in those ones.However, be told about the french scene there exists some really great coders like Thomas Landspurg, OMD Wild Copper andsome other ones but they are not very active.As you can see, compared to t he rest of Europe, there are some elite guyz who aren`t very numerous and have relations only with foreigners coz of secuirity. So the word LAME suits the french scene the best. Q7 - Whats the best copy party you ever went to?? A7 - Nope !, each time I`ve been to a party lamers or cops were there.So I didn`t have the chance to visit a great party but I hope to visit a great one this summer! Q8 - Do you suffer from lamer problems? A8 - Yes, from many jealous and hypocritical guys. I hate them but thats life!! Q9 - Has PARADOX got any boards? A9 - PARADOX boards are-> Sleepy hollow 703-525-0986 Involuntary death 708-599-1537 Hallowed ground 45-43-43-93-98 Q10 - What are your predictions for the scene in the future?? A10 - I don`t know!!! Q11 - Will you be buying another computer / console ? A11 - Not know coz AMIGA is still the best ! ! ! ! Q12 - Thanks for doing the interview is there anything you want to say before we finish ? A12 - Yes I want to send some hellos to all PARADOX members worldwide. Good luck with Stolen Data but don`t forget to read News on Tour coz its very good too !! (he!he!) INTERVIEW BY MOLE - ANARCHY FOR STOLEN DATA ------------------------------------- PARADOX WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT ALL NEWS ABOUT THEM IN A RECENT ISSUE OF CRACKER JOURNAL IS NOT TRUE. ------------------------------------- --CURRENT TRENDS IN THE DEMO SCENE-- --- BY MOLE OF ANARCHY --- Demos and intros nowadays seem to follow the same familar pattern. Some clever guy thinks of a cool new idea and releases a demo. Everyone says how cool that demo was and then goes away and codes their own version of it,with something slighty different, thinking they are the best in the universe. The first of these must have been the sine scroll,some cool guy thought of it and now everyone uses it all the time in intros/demos. More recent ideas include the bob record idea where everyone was fighting to get a couple of extra bobs on the screen so they could be top. The latest well used ideas are based on copper effects. One type is the SINE-COPPER effect that first appeared in a demo by Turboslug of ITV (now in THR), after this loads of intros and demos were released using this effect,but hopefully we`ve now seen the last of those! The latest (and last?!?) well used idea is the `sideways' copper effect, which is basicly some normal copper bars going through a sine on their side, this has been used on a variety of intros and demos.As it is the demo scene has become stagnant as every one spends all their time copying each others ideas, surely all the groups out there can think of their own ideas or is this asking too much? --------------------------------------- STOLEN DATA CONTRIBUTERS WANTED ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Stolen Data, the U.K's first and foremost disk magazine wants your contributions!.
