WORKBENCH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Take control of your Workbench Management System a flexible utility to help you gain mastery over Amiga DOS. Packed with features, this just has to be the ultimate Workbench organiser.
BOOTLOGO
Hard drive owners, do you sometimes find that when you load a program,
the screen blanks, the drive goes quiet and you're not absolutely certain
that anything is happening at all? This is a program that can be added to
the Startup_sequence of such programs to display high resolution screen as
long as the program's actually doing anything. As soon as anything
attempts to open a new screen, Bootlogo detaches itself and dies
painlessly!
KEYMAP ED
If you enjoy compiling your own disks, you'll know the value of a good
keymap editor for creatuing your own menus and the like. Unlike the
notoriously unstable Setkey program, Keymap Ed is a simple to use and
reliable program that must count as an essential part of any serious
user's collection.
VIRUS CHECKER
Demostrating CU's continued dedication to the safety of your valuable
software, we're proud to present version 6.26 of John Veldthuis' world
renowned Virus Checker program.
LIGHT
Written to accompany John Kennedy's DIY tutorial, this program acts as
a simple oscilloscope converting a serial input into a visible display.
Read the tutorial for further information, starting on page 160.
THE PATRICIAN
If you haven't heard about this blockbuster game from German publishers Ascon, then you're obviously the kind of person who likes nothing more than to spend large amounts of time in sensory deprivation tanks. Top of the German software charts for months, this unusual tale of the first ever European community - the Hanseatic league - has taken the strategy world by storm, and here's your chance to play it and see why.

CHALLENGE
What's this? Another playable demo of a Team 17 game? Honestly, we
spoil you lot, we really do. This time there's no frogs, no guns, no
lasers. Only the semi-open road and enough horsepower to move the earth,
almost. Yes it's Formula One racing, that perennial favourite, but this is
one with a difference, as you'll see as soon as you load.
It's a sprite
based racer, viewed in the classic third person perspective with your
'camera' behind and slightly above your own car. The finished game will
feature seventeen tracks, and our demo lets you run a complete two-lap
race with all 21 computer drivers. Can you win?
