For more details, contact Roy Golding at rgolding@zetnet.co.uk or Ed Smith at edmund@zetnet.co.uk Texel Help on its way? - 7 August 1998 I received this e-mail from Nick Ripley... 'Details of The `unnoficial' Texel_E.Hyp may be found on my new WWW site: http://www.iipmail.demon.co.uk/ATARI.HTM As you may know Texel 1.6 was released to the English Speaking Public without the accompanying HYP file. To remedy this Nick Ripley, author of Papyrus.Hyp has written The `unnoficial' Texel_E.Hyp. The Hyp is now in late Beta (currently Release 0.84), and the full release should be available in the next few weeks. The full release will also have optional Tutorial/Example files available in Texel/Papyrus, Texel/Works, or Texel/TXT formats. The accompanying files have been written for business use, and work through Income and Expenditure Budgets, through to 12 Month Cashflows with Quarterly checks.' System Solutions HD-Driver Updated - 21 July 1998 This release of HD-Driver adds the LS120, 120Mb Super Floppy drives, to the list of supported storage devices. A number of small but important internal changes have been made since the release of 7.51, too. What has changed since the last release? The following are release notes for the English version of HDDRIVER 7.55: LS-120 drives are now supported. (7.53) Correction of the formatting resources for SCSI drives. (7.54) Extended support for CD-ROM XFSe and Data CDs. This made a name change of the option "Support for Phasechange drives in Mac mode" to "Accept CD-ROM Drives" necessary. (7.54) The functions "Sector test" and "SCSI drives" can be used on CD-ROM drives, too. (7.55) DOS compatible VFAT32 parttions (ID $0B) are treated like RAW partitions. The ID "F32" has been reserved for TOS compatible VFAT32 partitions. VFAT32 partions are Windows compatible partitions with long filenames, capacities of more than 2GB and can only be used with suitable operating system drivers (to date only MiNT). (7.55) This latest release assures that Atari Users are not left behind in the fast and ever changing storage market. Old & new drives, IDE/EIDE, SCSI, ZIP, JAZ, EasyFlyer, SyJet, Magneto Optical, Phase Change and now 120Mb Super Drives, too. No problem! Unlike AHDI and other drive software, HD Driver is still supported and kept up-to-date to reflect the latest in storage technology.
