It combines draw, paint, and image processing tools with a scripting language, a hypermedia database manager, and a rich assortment of user interface objects. In Helm, you create objects directly on the pages of electronic books. You work on the page, attaching actions or scripts to the objects. You can immediately test your application as you work out the design. You focus on your application and not on the intricacies of the authoring sytem. And with Helm's paint and draw tools, you do not have to switch to outside programs to create or modify your artwork. Helm's Object Features PAGES - Place objects on the pages of an interactive book. Each page can have several CAD-style layers of objects that you can hide or show as you browse through the book. FORMS - You can use a form to create a common background for a group of pages. The form also defines the resolution and number of colors for a set of pages. BUTTONS - Customize buttons with different borders, colors, patterns, fonts and shadows. CHARTS - Choose from bar, column, line, area and pie charts. IMAGEFIELDS - Imagefields are like miniature paint programs. They support animations, scrolling, and transparent backgrounds. If you lock an Imagefield, you can use it as a button that the user can highlight or animate with a click of a mouse button. If you unlock an imagefield, you can use Helm's extensive paint tools to edit the image. SHAPES - Boxes, ellipses, lines, curves, arrows, regular and irregular polygons. Save memory and increase speed by using shapes instead of bitmap images. TEXTFIELDS - Change font, color, or style any number of times within a textfield. Textfields support color fonts, transparent backgrounds, scrolling, proportional fonts, and hypertext. SELECTORS - Selectors are self-contained control panels that Helm can create and manage. To use a selector, you only have to decide where to put it and what choices it should give the user. Helm handles the rest. Here is a list of Helm's types of selectors: Selector Description --------------------------------------------------------------------- Pop-up Menu Toggle an item using the menu button Cycle Toggle through a list of items Check Box Select multiple items by clicking buttons Multiple Choice Select multiple options by clicking buttons Single Choice Toggle an item in a list by clicking a button Radio Box Toggle an item in a list by clicking a radio button Slider Select a number by moving a knob Item Slider Select an item in a list using a slider Palette Choose a color from a set of color buttons Scrolling List Toggle an item in a list Matrix Enter numbers into a table of textfields Number Select a number with up and down buttons Clock Display the time in 12 or 24 hour format Date Display the date in a variety of formats File Select a file with a special scrolling list Information Displays things like current page number ACTIONS - You can program a book with just the mouse by attaching lists of actions to objects. The user triggers these actions by selecting the object with the mouse or keyboard. Here is a list of Helm's preprogrammed actions: Action Description --------------------------------------------------------------- Go To Turns to a specified page in any book Narration Reads text using the Amiga narrator device Music Plays a SMUS file Musical Notes Plays text notes from classical notation Sound Plays an 8SVX file Picture Shows an IFF image or animation Text Displays a text file Layers Changes the visibility of an object layer Visibility Changes the visibility of specified objects Move Moves an object on a page Helm Command Executes a default menu command Execute Calls an external program or an ARexx script Touch Tones Dials a phone number Serial Sends data to a serial port Test Pattern Shows bars used to adjust video output CDTV Audio Plays a regular CD audio disc Genlock Controls a 2.0 genlock Flip Changes the frames in an imagefield animation Scroll Scrolls the text in a textfield up or down Blackboard Displays a help requester SCRIPTS - For more advanced applications, there is a full-featured scripting language with an English-like syntax. You can modify the attributes or contents of any object with the scripting language. Helm's Image Editing Features PAINT TOOLS - Ellipses, irregular polygons, stars, rays, curves and an adjustable air brush. CUSTOM BRUSHES - Create brushes with a rectangle or any paint tool. Rotate, shear, flip, remap and size brushes. PAINT TYPES - Matte, Color, Replace, Tint, Smooth, Dissolve, Smudge, Gradient, Chaos, Sample, Edge, Custom and more. SUPPORT FOR AGA MODES - Helm's paint tools work in the 8-bit display modes that are available on AGA computers. Helm's Other Features PRINTING - Send books, pages, images, text or reports to a PostScript device or an Amiga-supported printer. IMPORTING - For easy distribution, Helm can import sound (8SVX), music (SMUS), images (ILBM), animations (ANIM-5), and Amiga fonts directly into a book. Helm uses a file format that is similar to IFF but includes changes that allow random access. VISUAL EFFECTS - Many different effects including fades, dissolves, scrolls, slides and wipes. Use effects when turning pages or changing the visibility of objects or layers. AUTOBROWSING - Instead of using the mouse or keyboard, you can browse through a book using a timer or a joystick. COMPATIBILITY - Compatible with PAL systems. It also supports ECS and AGA display modes. Full support for the clipboard. EXTRAS - The Helm package includes a 340 page manual (8.5" x 11") and five disks of books and clip art. The books include World Flags, Chinese Signs, French Flash Cards, Conversion, Atlas, Calendar, Periodic Table, Classic Cars, Latin Phrases, Animated Buttons, Storyboard, Baby Paint, Bear Book and Phonebook. ___________________________________________________________ / \ | Special Offer to *StarShip* Members | | | | Helm is available directly from Eagle Tree Software | | to members of the *StarShip* on GEnie at the special | | price of $79.00 -- a savings of fifty dollars over | | the suggested retail price! | | | | This offer is good ONLY when ordering directly from | | Eagle Tree Software until October 1, 1993.

It can store up to 5000 names and addresses per file, including comments, three phone number fields, birthday, and a user-definable field. Address It! does more than just store names and addresses though. Through its powerful search and tagging facilities, you can categorize people in up to 15 separate fields and print custom lists with just the people you want in them. You can print roster lists, envelopes, labels, rotary cards, and address books. It supports all Preferences printers, and has special support for PCL printers like the HP LaserJet and HP InkJet and other compatible printers. Address It! will also easily integrate with both ProWrite and WordPerfect, creating mail merge lists automaticaly. It will also output and input ASCII, allowing you to integrate with virtually any other data base and word processor. "I think it's about time the Amiga market has some more powerful, yet affordable, productivity software, and Address It! is our first step. We don't plan on stopping there," says Syd Bolton, President of Legendary Design Technologies. "We've researched what's available for both the Apple Macintosh and IBM PC systems. Address It! is just as powerful (if not more so) than what both of these platforms have to offer, and costs a lot less." Address It! works with as little as 512K memory, and is compatible with Amiga OS 1.2/1.3, 2.0 and 3.0. Legendary Technologies is already working on several new products that will complement Address It!. First, Invoice It! (see below) will bring low cost, simple invoicing softare to the Amiga for those who use their Amiga in a small business environment. Count It! is inventory control that can be used in the home for insurance purposes, or again in a small busines environment. All three products will integrate with each other but will also work separately. For example, in Invoice It!, you can call up a customer from Address It!, and sell them an item that is taken out of inventory from Count It!. The products will all be available separately at first, and then as a bundle. Invoice It! Finally! Inexpensive and powerful invoicing software available for the Amiga! If you're tired of trying to find decent productivity software for your Amiga, the wait is over. Invoice It! is just one of several products that Legendary Design Technologies is creating. Whether you are joining the ranks of the self-employed, run a thriving small business, or just need to make up invoices on occasion for "on the side" work, Invoice It! is the package for you. First, you'l be surprised how affordable it is. Invoice It! retails for $49.95 US and $59.95 Canadian. Then you'll be amazed at how powerful it is. With Invoice It! you can: o Create files limited only by disk space o Automatically create Quotations and convert them into actual invoices with ONE mouse click! o Flexibility in handling two tax rates, compounding, and rounding o Design your own invoice layout o Print the following: Registers Accounts Receivable Reports Invoice Summary / Detail Customer Summary / Detail Cash Receipt Summary / Detail Trend Reports o Apply discounts o Supports laser, dot-matrix, and ink-jet printers o Mouse oriented line operations like cut/copy/paste make editing simple o Export information into your spreadsheet for further analysis and graph printing o Custom lists reduce typing for common entries o Account aging handled automatically o Extremely easy to use! Address It! is presently available in the U.S. through CREATIVE COMPUTERS in California, and SAFE HARBOR COMPUTERS in Wisconsin. Additionally, all products are available directly from Legendary Technologies by check, money order, Visa or Mastercard. Invoice It! will be shipping within days. According to Syd Bolton, Legendary is strongly committed toward developing a new wave of high-quality productivity software for the Amiga. In addition to Address It! and Invoice It! (both of which will have even higher level versions), they will be introducing an inventory package (as yet unnamed), as well as some conversion utility packs that will include much needed text conversion (i.e. convert WordPerfect 5.1 IBM files to ProWrite 3.3). They also have other products in store including PLUS versions of Address It! and Invoice It! that will work together through the power of ARexx to create the following situation: Customer runs a script that has Invoice It! PLUS create an Accounts Receivable report. For all accounts older than 30 days (or user-specified), Address It! PLUS gets those records, writes a form letter which includes name, address, amount owing and number of days old. The form letters are printed, followed by envelopes or mailing labels to complete the process. All automatic. Based in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Legendary Design Technologies has been incorporated since 1989. Although Address It! is their first commercial release, they have released several programs as "Freely Distributable" on the Fish Disks including: Prism 1.4, StripANSI, Screen Jaeger, Screen Mod, and VS2PR. Legendary has also been involved in the production of software on other platforms, and also in Amiga graphics for local cable stations.

Version 5.0 now adds access to all screen modes of the ECS and AGA chip sets, PAL support, advanced support for serial device telecommunications, user defined font support, a re-written editor environment, among dozens more. F-Basic Version 5.0 is AmigaDOS 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 compatible, and runs on ALL Amiga platforms. Sold with Version 5.0 of the F-Basic System Source Level DeBugger (SLDB) for $159.95. Sold without the SLDB for $99.95. F-Basic Source Level DeBugger (SLDB) 5.0 Now Available Finally! A resource to help you quickly find and eliminate software bugs in your code! The SLDB functions in a fully windowed Intuition interface, and allows the user of an F-Basic 5.0 program to debug at the SOURCE level. A knowledge of assembly language is not necessary to use the SLDB. The SLDB allows the user to set breakpoints on source lines of the program to halt execution, trace one source line at a time, go until breakpoint, etc. It also allows the same functions at the assembly level. Valuable debugging tool for beginner or advanced programmer. Some features include viewing and altering processor registers, memory, variables, arrays, and records by name. A full featured reversed assembler is also included for the machine code enthusiast. Version 5.0 adds many, many new features and full support of the ECS and AGA chip sets and PAL modes. The SLDB includes a user's manual, and requires F-Basic 5.0. It is AmigaDOS 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 compatible. Runs on all Amiga platforms. Upgrading to V5.0 for Current Program Owners Upgrade notices have been sent to registered users and are required to be returned for upgrading to Version 5.0. Upgrade cost is $19.95 including the 5.0 F-Basic Language System, 5.0 Upgrade Manual, 5.0 SLDB (for current owners), and dozens more sample programs illustrating the new features. Users who have not received their upgrade notices by May 15, 1993, should phone DNS, Inc. at 605/348-0791. F-Basic Version 5.0 adds these new features: 1. Full access to the Screen Modes of the ECS & AGA Chip Set - Originally, F-Basic screens and windows were based upon the formats provided by the original graphics hardware. With the 5.0 release, F-Basic supports an additional extended SCREEN statement, which allows the user to select from a palette of the large number of screen modes supported by the operating system. Increased screen resolution, depth, and number of colors available are immediate enhancements to your F-Basic prorams. 2. Overscan & PAL Support - Each of the four Overscan types (Text, Standard Max, and Video) are now available with F-Basic screens and windows. This allows larger portions of the display screen to be accessible for the rendering of text or graphics. Also, new F-Basic 5.0 screens support PAL formats for European users of the system. 3. User Defined Font Support - This upgrade provides high level commands for installing new fonts. These permit printing with different fonts and colors within the same F-Basic window and greatly enhance the graphical interface capabilities of the language. 4. Pinpoint Control of Print Statements - Version 5.0 adds a new PRINT function that allows text to be positioned beginning at any pixel location within the window. This complements the current PRINT command that works with cursor locations. 5. WINDOW_RESIZE Event - Instantly respond to the use of a window's sizing gadget within the familiar and convenient F-Basic event block syntax. Additionally, new commands are available in 5.0 to sense the pixel width and height of the current font, as well as the number of characters per line and number of lines available in the current window. This allows easy rendering of text and graphics into a window whose size may arbitrarily change. 6. SERIAL Event - Receive data from the serial port without syspending execution or 'busy' wait loops. This F-Basic event block addition makes telecommunications programs amazingly simple. In addition, 5.0 adds high level commands which may be used to change the characteristics of the serial port, such as baud rate, parity, the type of error checking used, etc. 7. New "Look" For the Editor & SLDB - The 5.0 Editor and SLDB take advantage of the new graphical innovations in the language to produce a very pleasant integrated environment to develop within. As always, any other text editor may also be used in conjunction with F-Basic Version 5.0. There are many more upgrades, including code enhancements and 'bug fixes.' This is the most complete F-Basic ever, and its graphical capabilities are now unsurpassed. Version 5.0 of the SLDB is also now available, itself packed with many new features. F-Basic 5.9 is AmigaDOS 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 compatible and runs on all Amiga platforms and accelerators, including the A500, 600, 1000, 1200, 2500, 3000 and 4000.
