UK CO15 1JU Tel:(+44) 01255 431389 Fax: (+44) 01255 428666 --------------------------------------------------------------------- E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC Specialising in the Promotion of DTP on the Amiga Please take the time to read this text file, we believe that it gives you, the user of our products, a brief and informative insight into the workings of this company, and what we are doing for DTP and the Amiga ...THANK YOU! E.M.Computergraphic's sole aim in life is to promote DTP on the Amiga. We fully support everything we sell, including our PD/ Shareware disks!. EMC also sells both commercial hardware and software, but as a general rule we only sell you what we actually use ourselves. This way, if you have any problems with anything you purchase from us... we will be in a position to use our exexperience with the product and assist you. Our main concern is to give full technical support to our clients, giving them both help and advice, by letter, phone, fax and even modem! To facilitate our backup services we have the full support of the" 01 for Amiga" BBS, (which is the largest Amiga based BBS in the U.K.!) and we even run a small DTP BBS ourselves. Almost on a daily basis we are receiving "letters of thanks" from our customers that have experienced E.M.C.'s backup in "their hour of need!". It has come to our attention that many PD companies have purchased disks from us and have simply copied "OUR" disks for resale, in some cases not even bothering to remove the references to EMC on the disks! this will give you an indication of what the other PD companies are all about! We actually consider these actions as a compliment, after all, if other UK PD companies copy our disks ...OUR DISKS MUST BE GOOD! Although we are unable to do anything about this, we would like to point out that E.M.Computergraphic will NOT under any circumstances offer any form of backup to customers who buy font/clipart off other PD companies. EMC has an excellent track record, the amount of favourable UK Amiga press coverage that EMC has received will confirm this! We are a dedicated and specialised Amiga DTP business and we were the FIRST company to offer UK DTP'ers a dedicated DTP PD/ Shareware library. Remember: if you aren't on the EMC database, and have EMC disks, we won't help you... We suggest that you seek technical backup from the company you bought the disks from! -------------------------------- THIS IS WHAT A FEW OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE SAID J.T.N. - Scotland said... "I count myself very lucky to have made such a personal contact as yourself who is willing to keep me right and give outstanding backup to his customers" P.G.G. - Staffordshire said... "Very impressed with the service and products" P.F. - N.Yorks said... "Good luck with this venture, it's what we've been waiting for" Digital Multimedia Services UK said... "The backup you offer is second to none, your EMC products are of exceptional quality.... I've seen your editorials in nearly every UK Amiga Magazine.... I'm happy to see that EMC is receiving the recognition it deserves" -------------------------------- THIS IS WHAT A FEW OF THE MAGAZINES HAVE SAID Amiga Computing in issue 52 said... "E.M.Computergraphic are the FIRST and FOREMOST Font distributors in the UK" Amiga Computing then placed us at... No.1 in the TOP 10 of the Amiga hardware/software chart! Ian Wrigley from Amiga Shopper in issue 16 said... "...I must say that I'm quite impressed..." Amiga Format in issue 36 said... "...E.M.Computergraphic have an enormous amount of expertise in the tricky area of fonts and can provide professional help and advice to customers" Amiga Format Special Edition Autumn 1992 said... "...the best-value rescalable fonts available anywhere" "...there's no cheaper way of getting quality fonts" CU Amiga September 1992 said... "...you couldn't do much better than taking a look through the sets offered by E.M.Computergraphic" -------------------------------- E.M.Computergraphic have been actively involved in professional DTP on the Amiga for 5 years. Due mainly to the release of the high powered Amiga DTP programs; Professional Page and Pagestream, coupled with frustration at the lack of fonts/clipart on the Amiga platform compared with the other computer platforms. EMC decided it was time that a UK company started to compound the DTP data available on the other platforms and offer the Amiga desktop publisher with a source for all their DTP needs. After 6 months of hard work, phonebills that would cause most people to have heart attacks, countless sleepless nights, and after importing all of the data from overseas spending fortunes in the process on import duties and taxes) the... E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC DTP PD/SHAREWARE LIBRARY WAS LAUNCHED! It's launch brought for the first time, a wealth of high quality DTP fonts and clipart to the shores of the UK. A source of DTP data so concentrated that it catered for nearly every DTP users needs! The launch of EMC's PD/Shareware library also generated a staggering amount of genuine interest in the Amiga desktop publishing community and with the UK Amiga press. In 4 short months, E.M.Computergraphic had received more editorial reviews than just about any other Amiga company or product, has in it's entire existence! was this it... or did EMC have more up it's sleeve? Prior to the launch of the PD/Shareware library EMC had already initiated talks with the U.S. Fonthouse Computer Safari. Only one month after the launch of the EMC PD/Shareware Library, we made yet another important announcement... E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC ARE NOW THE EXCLUSIVE UK (AND EUROPEAN!) DISTRIBUTORS FOR THE COMPUTER SAFARI RANGE OF DESKTOP PUBLISHING TYPEFACES! This, yet again, stunned the UK Amiga Press. Most of the magazines had already reported the availability of these impressive typefaces in the USA, and that it was quite honestly, a real pain for anybody in the U.K. who wanted these fonts to go through the expensive and time consuming process of ordering them directly from Computer Safari in America. When EMC informed the Amiga press that as well as the fonts being available in the U.K. EMC were actually intending on selling the fonts.... CHEAPER! than Safari themselves do, they were quite literally speechless. Computer Safari have also given E.M.C. the first rights to the U.K. and European distribution of the Safari fonts on both the IBM and MAC platforms! This may not mean much to most of you, but it basically means that E.M.C. can forget about the Amiga sales, escalate the retail price, and quite literally make a fortune selling the fonts to IBM and Mac users who are used to paying up to £100 for ONE font! So, the Safari fonts were available in the UK, and compatible with ProPage 3 and Pagestream. This left Professional Page users that had versions of PPage prior to version 3, along with all Pagesetter II, Workbench2.04, Wordworth etc. users... OUT IN THE COLD! with no access to the Safari fonts that they had all seen and read about. EMC, seeing and hearing from all these unhappy fontless souls, initiated talks with Gold Disk Incorporated of Canada and Computer Safari. After two months of negotiations, E.M.C. made another announcement to the Amiga Press: E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC ARE A LICENSED DISTRIBUTOR FOR GOLD DISK'S CGUPDATE PROGRAM Although E.M.C. had the capability to create CGFont conversions from the Type 1 Safari files, and had had the conversions sitting ready for distribution on a hard drive... it couldn't distribute the CG conversions of the Safari fonts. The reason for this was the need to distribute GoldDisk's CGUpdate program. The CGUpdate program updates some of the files in the CGFont directory for PPage users to enable the PPage to recognise new fonts that are added to the fontlist! It would have been pointless to distribute the CG Safari conversions without the CGUpdate program, since PPage users would have been more than a little annoyed at being left out, although we do realise that PagesetterII and Workbench 2.04 users wouldn't have minded! The significance of this agreement didn't even dawn on E.M.C. until after the agreement was signed. The Safari CG Conversions were put onto master floppy disks within 2 hours of EMC receiving the distribution go ahead from GoldDisk. Then the penny dropped... E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC HAD NOT ONLY SIGNED AN IMPORTANT AGREEMENT WITH GOLD DISK INCORPORATED... BUT NOW HAD...OFFICIALLY... THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPUTER SAFARI CG FONT DISKS READY FOR COMMERCIAL U.K. DISTRIBUTION! (Not even Computer Safari themselves have them yet) Press releases were immediately sent out to the Amiga magazines, coverage of the event should, with any luck, be appearing during the forthcoming issues of all the major magazines. Please bear in mind that although our prices may initially seem high, you are paying for the quality of our products, and the countless man hours devoted to compiling and testing each disk. EMC are striving, and indeed offering Amiga desktop publishers with a unique and unrivalled service. We are not "box shifters" and we are definitely not doing this for the money! Every penny we (theoretically) make gets invested straight back into the the business for the acquisition of new material and to cover our overheads. Amiga Computing in issue 52 reported that... "THE PRICE THAT EMC ARE ASKING IS OUTRAGEOUSLY LOW" I guess that about sums it up! The guys at Amiga Computing quite obviously appreciate the work and expense that goes into the E.M.C. disks. We realise that our so called competition charge cheaper prices, and that you may well be tempted by the cheaper (?) price! All we can point out is that the only reason they charge cheaper (?) prices is that most of them simply buy the disks from us and copy them!. When you take this fact into consideration you will realise that they are actually abusing the whole concept of PD and Shareware and are charging you astronomical prices just for copying the disks. We wonder where their profit goes! You must also take some other matters into consideration... 1. Are these companies really interested in DTP? 2. Are these companies dedicated to promoting on DTP on the Amiga? 3. Are these companies capable and experienced enough to offer you full technical support? 4. If they do offer (limited) backup... do they do so by phone, fax, letter and modem? 5. Do they have the backing of the largest UK Amiga BBS? 6. Why don't these companies get any editorial coverage? 7. Do their disks, inspite of the "cheaper" price... make No. 1 in the software and hardware charts? If you are unsure of the answers to ANY of these questions, you will come to the same conclusion as us.... THAT THESE COMPANIES ARE JUST INTERESTED IN MAKING A FAST BUCK! As you will have noticed E.M.Computergraphic has received a substantial amount of Amiga press coverage throughout 1992. We have only used a small amount of the total editorial we have received for use within this text file. Our hard work has not gone unnoticed in the Amiga press, quite to the contrary in fact. In the Jan 1993 issue of Amiga Shopper, both Computer Safarifonts and E.M.Computergraphic were given the... TOP TYPEFACE OF 1992 AWARD I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this text file! If you have read it all, and I really hope you did, I'm sure you will agree that in only a few short months E.M.C. has probably done more for DTP on the Amiga than any other company. If nothing else I think that I have proved, without a doubt that... E.M.COMPUTERGRAPHIC IS DEDICATED TO THE PROMOTION OF DTP ON THE AMIGA! E.M.Computergraphic 8 Edith Road, Clacton on Sea, Essex.

First, text only adverts are now FREE for private individuals or clubs/zines/conventions etc!! To place your own ad in THE FINAL FRONTIER, simply send the advert in on paper (text only) or on disk (as ASCII files). Also IFF art adverts are free, but space for these is limited, so these will be included on a first come, first served basis. Adverts that we can't use will be held over for the next issue (unless you say otherwise). In the case of GFX adverts, please do NOT use HAM and please try to make sure that they don't make use of overscan either - you'd be surprised at the amount of disk space that saves! For commercial advertisers, produce the advert in one of the formats mentioned above and then send it to us, but DON'T send any money with your advert. When we receive the ad, we will crunch it using PowerPacker Professional to make the advert as small as possible. You will then be notified of the cost. Then send the appropriate amount and we'll publish your ad. The reason we don't want any money first is because of our advertising rates. You will be charged for however much disk space your advert takes up. Simply, you will be charged a set amount depending on how many "units" of 100 bytes, or part thereof, that your ad uses. The cost per unit is just 10p. If your advert is not Trek based, e.g. for a Star Wars fan club or for a person selling his collection of Blake's Seven merchandise, the adverts are still FREE, but we can't guarantee to include your advert (due to space restrictions - this issue has over 80K of text adverts alone!) UNLESS you decide that you want to pay. However, for private individuals/clubs/zines, the rates are only 5p per unit and 15p a unit for commerical advertisers. Please note, because of smaller adverts being more expensive to administer than the actual income we'd receive, there is a minimum advertising cost of £1. However, so we don't end up having to pay for the adverts ourselves, please enclose a SAE so we can contact you to tell you how much money to send. Otherwise it would mean that we would have to charge more. For overseas advertisers, please send a tested blank disk to cover our postage costs and make all payments in U.K currency (cheques etc. payable to "Infinite Frontiers"). For example, an advert takes up 15K. We crunch this down to 7032 bytes (Note - this isn't an exact figure, but text files are on average reduced by around 50%). You will then be charged for 71 units which is: TREK - £ FREE - Individuals/clubs/conventions etc. £ 7.10 - Businesses NON-TREK - £ FREE - Individuals/clubs etc. £ 3.55 - Individuals/clubs etc. (GURANTEED INCLUSION!) £10.65 - Businesses Simple, eh? (Don't forget that 15K is about 13 screens full!!) Free adverts will appear in one issue ONLY unless an updated advert is sent in. Commercial advertisers or individuals who are paying for their adverts, these will appear once for each payment made. In the case of free adverts, those that require extensive layout work or have been submitted on disk (but with a layout that has to be completely re-formatted) may take some time to appear as these will NOT be given priority for advertising space - we only have a finite amount of time to work on each issue, you know! Please note that all money received will go straight back into the mag and will be used to cover postage and disk costs for free issues to contributors, adverts for writers etc. and for competition prizes.
