This is what's known as ADVERTISING. The machine may well be that powerful
but as in most adverts they don't tell you the whole story. (ie you need to 
get a monitor and hard disk as well.) In this case their claim is justified
as the monitor and hard disk won't affect the performance, although you can't
use a TT without.

I admit, it would be nice to buy what is being advertised :-)

BTW I don't think the Falcon is being advertised yet. From what I have heard,
the only official info is from the show in Germany. Everything is rumour.

Funny you should say that about the Falcon030's marketing since
that's EXACTLY what they're doing.  Also, the Jaguar is due 
around Spring 1993, so even 1993's Christmas season could 
"belong to the Jaguar."

Organization: MRC Human Genome Resource Centre

I have been told that to include new fonts in Timeworks 2, all you need to do
is change the assign.sys file and run fontwid.app. They said the new fonts will
have the extension .fnt (which they do) but the font files already there have
some other ending. (I forget exactly what). 

What should I do?

I have a program from a coverdisk called assassin, which is supposed to create
a new assign.sys file for you easily. It probably would but it only wants files
ending in fnt so presumably in won't include the original ones (which I want).

Why is nothing ever simple?

emulator-smemulator, who cares?  In common parlance, we use the term to discuss

Well, in this case it IS true... for using Paula on a  plain  old
ST, you need an additional program called Petra, which installs a
sound driver that allows Paula to  work  without  DMA  sound.  Of
course,  the results are vastly inferior to the STe or TT, but at
least it works.
Petra does not seem to be available at all sites where Paula  can
be found. I got mine from a BBS... so if it can't be found at any

Stzip works fine on 'pkzipped' files.

An '.lzh' program should work on .lha files. (Havent' tried this though).

If they are '.arj' files, though, I haven't found an '.arj' program for the

My budget doesn't allow an answer to the question just now, but then they
aren't on the shelves just yet. What I can say is that I find the Falcon
very attractive. It appears to have a very interesting mix of features for
the price. I say this even realizing that I will need to spend a good deal
more than $700 for what I will want in memory, hard disk space, and screen.
Of course, I say this partially because I have a lot of effort put into
setting up my current system (Uniterm, TeX, etc.), and the fact that most
of my software may just run is seen as an advantage. Given that I have a few
months before I have enough money to allow a decision, I will probably do
what everyone should do when considering a computer purchase --- set a budget
and buy the machine/software combination that best meets my needs/wants.
And it looks like the Falcon may very well be that machine. Then again, if
they offer a version with a separate keyboard and a faster CPU, that might
be the machine I should buy.

Just note that the original information was about SOFTWARE
emulators !
In order for them to run at 8Mhz 286 they can't be just interpreters
but real '286-assembler'-compilers (as will be the Mac-on-a-PowerPC
emulator). And even in this case, getting the same kind of speed as
the one of the 68000 8Mhz (that is *mz 286) is almost impossible !

Of course, using an other processor permits to go much faster 
(and much easier) !

WordPerfect 5.x for the IBM will accept an Atari WordPerfect 4.1 document
file.  In other words, you can create you document on an Atari using
Atari's version of WordPerfect (version 4.1) copy to file to disk, and then
insert that disk into you IBM running WordPerfect 5.1 and it will be read
without any problem.

You can also create your document in TimeWorks WordWriter ST, save the file
and then use the conversion program in WordPerfect (Atari version) to
convert it the WordPerfect version 4.1.  After that it will be a WordPerfect
file and my instructions for WordPerfect will apply.

It's a 16-bit stereo DAC, but you can set it to an 8-bit mode if you 
want (for STE 8-bit stereo sound compatibility).  It doesn't come with
a microphone (at least as far as I know), but it has a stereo mic
input.  According to Bill Rehbock at Atari, they are planning to
include some kind of sampling software with the Falcon.  They showed
a piece of software in Duesseldorf called "D2D" which was a 
direct-to-disk sampling application with sample editing features and
Bill said that they want to include something like that (if NOT that)
with the basic Falcon packaging.  They also already have several 
'designed for the Falcon' programs to bundle with the machine including
a few classic games, a talking clock program, and an address/calendar
program.

I would guess that the methon they use to find the MIPS-rating of a
processor is something like this :

Say that you have 4 instructions : A, B, C and D.
Say that A needs 2 cycles to execute, B needs 3, C needs 4, and D needs 5
cycles.
The average instruction would then need (2+3+4+5)/4=3.5 cycles to
execute.  At 25MHz this processor would be able to execute about
7.1 Million (average) Instructions Per Second, and would therefor be said to
yield 7.1 MIPS.
They don`t just calculate this number by using a NOP as an average
instruction...
