A man who came to our club meeting this month claimed to have a working ST emulator for his Amiga. I don't know the details, but he said his came from Germany. ……Betty

Betty: Is there any way you could find out more about it? I have a couple of friends that would run right out and buy them, just for one program that is available for ST, but not Amiga, a music notation program that supposedly works much better than Dr. T's. -Mike Schiller CIS: 76416,3065

Mike, it won't be easy. The man who said he had one was not an active member, and I don't recall his name. I will ask around, though. Perhaps someone else who was there will know him, or will have found out more about the emulator. No promises, but I'll try. ……Betty

Betty – I just uploaded the emulator he's talking about. It seems to be a Beta/demo of the program. I hear that some thing work, and some don't. I know that I tried a couple of programs, and they ran but didn't do all they were supposed to. One was a terminal program, and it worked fine but wouldn't talk to the modem. I think it still needs a lot of work, but they're heading in the right direction. The desktop is all in German, and it supports all three resolutions of the ST. The mouse movement is smoothest in hires (640×400 mono) but the gray shades they chose to avoid the flicker problem are a little difficult to work with. Harry

Harry, Thanks for the upload. I believe that the emulator our club member has is a commercial one – perhaps a later, finished version of the demo you uploaded? He had purchased the one he had, but I don't know where. I do appreciate your uploading the program, and also your report on its use. ……Betty
