I am still working on which particular issue. In the meantime there has still been no article on sound samples written for 8-bit Software-doesn't anybody know about them?(8CT) * A useful hint to all those old Acorn Teletext Adaptors biting the dust- if you postition them behind your Beeb with the back facing you- they make a good stand for these long disc drive cases that are around nowadays. If you have an empty adapter box, then they make great places to store the miles of cable trailing from your beeb.(8CT) * ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶   ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ HOWEVER don't rip your adaptors apart just yet anyway as the next program in the SYSTEMS series (exclusively from 8-bit) will be called SYSTEM shares and will use a teletext adaptor to download 'live' share information from the Ceefax pages. The program will enable you to buy shares and unit trusts etc. using this live information. Watch this space for further developments. An older version of SYSTEM shares is avaliable now to the members with the following bits- BBC-B Issue 3 or Higher BASIC 2 or higher Twin Double-sided 80T drives Acorn Adaptor with ATS Acorn TUBE * ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶   ¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶ You MUST have the above equipment for the program to work. Once the program has been re-written (summer 1991) you will be able to run it on an unexpanded B or Master. Looking back at the Issue 4 questionaires I see that only one member has an adaptor anyway, so maybe this is a waste of time? * Does anybody have access to a program that will let you design SOUND ENVELOPES easily with the program then printing the necessary SOUND commands in BASIC.
