=-----------------------------------------[Introduction]--[Snowman and Rimbo]-=
|
|
|
|
Hello all, and welcome to DemoNews issue 121.
|
|
|
|
This week marks the official announcement of Music Contest 4. Sometimes I
|
|
have difficulty believing that the whole series started back in 1993 when a
|
|
Chinese philosopher came to my house and told me "If you hold it, they will
|
|
come." I would also have difficulty believing that the contest actually
|
|
started back in 1987 with Music Contest -5. Even less realistic is the
|
|
notion that people just started uploading "MC1" songs back in 1993 and I
|
|
later invented a contest around them. In any case, MC4 is nearly here.
|
|
You know, 4 is a really big number if you think about it.
|
|
|
|
I went out to eat with RaD Man / ACiD this week. Now some of you might be
|
|
thinking "Oh yucky! Those ansi sceners have cooties!" In many cases, you'd
|
|
be right. However, RaD Man impressed me... more than a little bit. He's
|
|
the current organizer of ACiD and has 6 years experience in the ansi scene.
|
|
He is thoughtful, mature, and well organized. Many of the organizational
|
|
challenges faced by the ansi/art scene are more closely related to those
|
|
of the demo scene than I had originally thought.
|
|
|
|
Tension continues to grow within our group as the new file cataloging
|
|
system for the Hornet archive is slowly designed and implemented. If you
|
|
see files being moved around, directories suddenly vanishing and
|
|
reappearing, files sitting in /incoming even longer than normal, or
|
|
00_index.txt files looking totally goofed up, don't be alarmed! I can't
|
|
even begin to list the advantages and features that this new "level 4"
|
|
system will give. It will probably be at least 4 months until this system
|
|
is up and working properly. As the scene changes, so must we with it.
|
|
|
|
Last but not least, Rimbo offers an explanation of my introduction in
|
|
DemoNews.120.
|
|
|
|
_____Rimbo Writes
|
|
|
|
Okay, I'd like to right just a little bit about Snomans intruduction last
|
|
week. Frist and foremost, the hole thing was a JOKE!
|
|
|
|
Let me try and explaine the joke for you who missed it. First, he talks
|
|
about how much quality has improved in DemoNews. Than, he makes a bunch of
|
|
deliberit misteaks such as "Quebec tried to SUCCEED from Canada." He KNOWS
|
|
that its spelled "secede," he was making a -JOKE-. He even re-iterated the
|
|
fact at the end of the introduction just too try and make things more plane.
|
|
|
|
Snowman is a awesome editor, and never misses a misspeling or an grammer
|
|
mistake, and you can be sure this are so because he edited this little
|
|
letter of mine himself and it is completely flawless without any run-on
|
|
sentences or speling flaws or typos so there.

=----------------------------------------[Music Contest 4 Announcement]--[GD]-=
|
|
|
|
_____Introduction
|
|
|
|
Got that tracking fever?
|
|
|
|
Hornet is proud to announce that MC4 is approaching! The contest will
|
|
officially begin on May 31, and all entries will be due by July 15.
|
|
|
|
An MC4 intro is being produced to announce the contest. Kiwidog is writing
|
|
the code and Leviathan will be tracking the music for it, so it should be a
|
|
real crowd-pleaser!
|
|
|
|
Once again, ftp.cdrom.com will serve as the host site to the contest. With
|
|
the tremendous growth of the music scene, the increased exposure of the demo
|
|
site, and the previous growth of prior Music Contests, it is our hope that
|
|
this will be the biggest and best such contest in demo scene history.
|
|
|
|
Due to Floss' recent hardware problems and his sometimes unstable email
|
|
account which became a factor during MC3, he will be unable to help out with
|
|
MC4. I (GD) will be assuming this position for MC4, and will be the editor
|
|
of the MC4 Updates Newsletter.
|
|
|
|
_____MC4 Updates Newsletter
|
|
|
|
This year, we are going to release a bi-weekly newsletter containing any
|
|
updates or changes which occur once the contest has begun. This will be the
|
|
central location to find information on MC4.
|
|
|
|
There will be six releases of this newsletter during the contest. The
|
|
mailing list is now available, and I suggest you subscribe if you plan to
|
|
enter or be a judge for the contest.
|
|
|
|
How to subscribe:
|
|
|
|
Mail to : listserver@unseen.aztec.co.za
|
|
Body : subscribe mc4-updates [first_name] [last_name]
|
|
|
|
The listserver will send the MC4 Newsletter to your e-mail's return address.
|
|
|
|
_____Changes since MC3
|
|
|
|
First of all, the song size limit has been increased to 1,000,000 bytes. The
|
|
limit in MC3 was 524,288 bytes (512 kb) and judging was limited to owners of
|
|
Gravis soundcards. However, this soundcard restriction has been removed for
|
|
MC4 to encourage more people to vote.
|
|
|
|
Why 1,000,000 bytes? It's just easier to look at.
|
|
|
|
There will once again be two entry divisions, rookie and veteran. There
|
|
will be two rounds of voting this time around to provide a more accurate
|
|
ranking of the songs.
|
|
|
|
We have more changes planned which you'll find out about soon! An "alpha"
|
|
version of the MC4 rules is scheduled to be released to the public within
|
|
two weeks. This will give everyone a chance to look for flaws and make
|
|
corrections.
|
|
|
|
_____Conclusion
|
|
|
|
Please note that the plans are still being made and all information is not
|
|
yet final. I will attempt to handle any email sent to me, but it is still
|
|
early yet, and I may not be able to answer all questions.
|
|
|
|
This contest has been held annually since 1993. It is well organized,
|
|
professional, and FUN! :) You don't even have to leave your seat to
|
|
enter. Why not become part of the experience?

=-------------------------------------------[Tribute CD Review]--[Dan Wright]-=
|
|
|
|
There is a new mod CD in town. It is called Tribute and is produced by
|
|
Diffusion/Xerez out of Denmark. This BBS ready CD contains 286 megs of
|
|
"authors" mods (91 directories), 42 megs of "rave labels," 99 megs of music
|
|
disks, 200 megs of different styled music (classic, country, rock, techno,
|
|
etc.), your favorite players (Cubic Player, CMOD, IPLAY, etc.) and a buggy
|
|
menu interface.
|
|
|
|
All of the music files on the CD are zipped so your choices on players are
|
|
limited--Cubic Player is provided but it still can't play tagged files (one
|
|
after the other) like a Cappa Mod which can't unzip files. The CDs menu
|
|
interface is nice but too buggy and featureless to be of any use. So a
|
|
Mod4Win might be your best bet in playing the music on this CD.
|
|
|
|
The CD booklet/backliner are professionally printed (in color) with well
|
|
done computer generated art--a surreal underwater effect. The 4 color art
|
|
on the CD--even though it is a dupe of the cover art--impressed me the most.
|
|
|
|
The Cost of TRIBUTE is 100 Danish Krone. Translated to US dollars at
|
|
(5.6959Dkk to $1US) the CD sells for $17.55. Throw in postage and your
|
|
price rises to around $24 for US airmail delivery with the European mail
|
|
rate being much less.
|
|
|
|
The down sides of the CD are the buggy interface, cost, and the fact that
|
|
all the modules are zipped. Most players, unlike Cubic Player, can not
|
|
uncompress ZIPs on the fly and play the modules. The good side is a
|
|
professionally packaged "non commercial" CD with tons of great tracked
|
|
music. Get it for your collection or get it to support Rene and future
|
|
productions (namely audio CDs) under his Underground Records label.

=_-------------------------------------------[4DOS 4DEMOS: Part 7]--[Snowman]-=
|
|
|
|
_____Introduction
|
|
|
|
Welcome back to the 4DOS trainer series! It's been a little while since
|
|
I've done one of these so I might be a tad rusty. In any case, this series
|
|
is not dead (unlike Trixter's "VGA Tricks" series?). :) Since these
|
|
tutorials have been going on for over 10 months now, I'm getting kind of
|
|
anxious to finish them up and remove them from my "todo" list.
|
|
|
|
Today we'll show you how to set up a multi-config environment in dos, how
|
|
to do a basic tricky-prompt, and learn an undocumented feature of 4DOS that
|
|
I discovered.
|
|
|
|
_____General Overview
|
|
|
|
This article assumes you have read Parts 1 through 6. Be sure to follow
|
|
all of the steps I listed there. We will be relying on them now. Just for
|
|
reference, here is a list of what we have covered so far (and what we will
|
|
cover today):
|
|
|
|
_____Multi-Config
|
|
|
|
Multi-config is a built-in MSDOS feature allowing you to select one of many
|
|
system configurations at boot time. For a PC demo scener today, at _least_
|
|
two configurations are necessary. I usually have between 3 and 5.
|
|
|
|
Now you are yawning, thinking "but I already _know_ how to use
|
|
multi-config!" You do not. :) There is a certain feature of multi-config
|
|
that can be used intimately with 4DOS. This would have been a logical
|
|
place to tell you what that feature is.
|
|
|
|
Let us cut the chit-chat... here's how you set it up. Assume you want
|
|
three configurations: a meaty config (CDROM drivers, network drivers,
|
|
etc.), a normal config, and a bare-bones config (for demos that won't work
|
|
under meaty and normal).
|
|
|
|
In your config.sys file, you would put something like:
|
|
|
|
[MENU]
|
|
Menuitem=BMEATY, --Meaty Boot-------- CDROM, Network, Mouse, VESA
|
|
Menuitem=BNORMAL, --Normal Boot------- Mouse, VESA
|
|
Menuitem=BBONES, --Bare Bones Boot--- Himem.sys and a lot of love
|
|
Menudefault=BMEATY,2
|
|
|
|
[COMMON]
|
|
; put everything here that would be used in all 3 boot configurations
|
|
; (like DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS, SHELL=C:\4DOS\4DOS.COM, etc.)
|
|
|
|
[BMEATY]
|
|
; put everything here for the meaty boot
|
|
|
|
[BNORMAL]
|
|
; put everything here for the normal boot
|
|
|
|
[BBONES]
|
|
; put everything here for the bare bones boot
|
|
|
|
The only non-intuitive thing above is probably the "Menudefault=BMEATY,2".
|
|
That simply means to wait "2" seconds before automatically booting up with
|
|
BMEATY.
|
|
|
|
After you select the desired configuration, DOS sets up an environmental
|
|
variable called "config" which will be used in our autoexec.bat as well as
|
|
other things in later tutorials. Now you know what the secret feature is.
|
|
|
|
Now we just have to make a few modifications to our autoexec.bat to reflect
|
|
our new boot options:
|
|
|
|
@echo off
|
|
CALL C:\STARTUP\ENVIRON.BTM
|
|
: put everything here that would be used in all 3 boot configurations
|
|
: (like LH C:\4DOS\KSTACK.COM, LH C:\UNIVBE\UNIVBE.EXE, etc.).
|
|
: remember that SUBSTituted drives belong here and not in ENVIRON.BTM
|
|
goto %config%
|
|
|
|
:BMEATY
|
|
: put everything here for the meaty boot
|
|
goto END
|
|
|
|
:BNORMAL
|
|
: put everything here for the normal boot
|
|
goto END
|
|
|
|
:BBARE
|
|
: put everything here for the bare bones boot
|
|
goto END
|
|
|
|
:END
|
|
|
|
That's it. Now you can flip between different configurations depending on
|
|
what you want to do. Even after we are completely done booting, that
|
|
"config" variable remains set. We will use it later.
|
|
|
|
_____The Basic Prompt
|
|
|
|
PROMPT $P$G
|
|
|
|
Do you know how boring that looks? What is it going to tell you? Current
|
|
drive and directory you say? <yawn>
|
|
|
|
The prompt should be your friend. You see it every time you type something
|
|
in. It is now time to make that prompt mature and grow, add color and
|
|
information, let it become the king of all prompts.
|
|
|
|
Setting up a complex prompt poses two minor problems. First, most
|
|
DOS-based text editors will not display more than 80 columns on the screen.
|
|
If you go over 80 characters, you either word wrap the line too early or
|
|
you can not see the entire setting at once. This makes it difficult to
|
|
write the prompt. Second, the prompt itself is somewhat limited in space
|
|
(I think 255 bytes maximum can normally be allocated to it). We will find
|
|
work-arounds to both problems.
|
|
|
|
First let us discuss adding information to your prompt. Back in part 5 of
|
|
this tutorial, I talked about basic level function calls. It is time to
|
|
solidify some of those concepts. We will be using our ENVIRON.BTM file to
|
|
set our prompt up. Did you add all those section headers from part 6 of
|
|
this tutorial? :)
|
|
|
|
Think of the most critical pieces of information about your system's
|
|
configuration. How about BASE, XMS, and EMS memory? It is very easy to
|
|
add these to your prompt. Observe:
|
|
|
|
SET PROMPT=base:%%@DOSMEM[k] ems:%%@EMS[k] xms:%%@XMS[k] $_$p$g
|
|
|
|
Now our prompt might look something like:
|
|
|
|
base:610 ems:15670 xms:15670
|
|
c:\>
|
|
|
|
Note that the "$_" above simply means to issue a newline. If we left it
|
|
off, our prompt would have just looked like:
|
|
|
|
base:610 ems:15670 xms:15670 c:\>
|
|
|
|
Now, this example looked ok because our "SET PROMPT=" statement was not
|
|
very big. Things are quickly going to get very hairy and unorganized if we
|
|
do not break our prompt up. Let us redo the above example. In your
|
|
ENVIRON.BTM file you could put something like:
|
|
|
|
: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
: SET PROMPT - Makes my prompt look just the way I like it. :)
|
|
: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
: Base Memory
|
|
SET P_DOSMEM=base:%%@DOSMEM[k]
|
|
: EMS Memory
|
|
SET P_EMS=ems:%%@EMS[k]
|
|
: XMS Memory
|
|
SET P_XMS=xms:%%@XMS[k]
|
|
: Ending Stuff
|
|
SET P_FINISH=$_$p$g
|
|
|
|
SET PROMPT=%P_DOSMEM %P_XMS %P_EMS %P_FINISH
|
|
|
|
: Deallocate variables
|
|
SET P_DOSMEM=
|
|
SET P_EMS=
|
|
SET P_XMS=
|
|
SET P_FINISH=
|
|
|
|
All we have done is to make little happy subvariables out of each prompt
|
|
part. We set all of these up, make our big prompt, then destroy them. This
|
|
gives us the opportunity to keep things organized in a logical manner, as
|
|
well as let us see everything on-screen. In a future tutorial, I will show
|
|
how to create local variables so we can even eliminate the "Deallocate
|
|
variables" section.
|
|
|
|
There is one problem with the above section. If we left it the way it is,
|
|
DOS would see these mini-variables, do the function calls, and assign an
|
|
unchanging result value to our prompt. For example, our
|
|
|
|
SET P_DOSMEM=base:%%@DOSMEM[k]
|
|
|
|
subvariable might be evaluated to
|
|
|
|
SET P_DOSMEM=base:610
|
|
|
|
and then assigned to our prompt. Our prompt would then always say that we
|
|
had 610k of base memory regardless of what the actual value was. We need
|
|
to prevent our little subvariables from being evaluated prematurely.
|
|
|
|
Luckily, there is a way to do this. The command is called "setdos" and it
|
|
controls several DOS attributes including variable expansion. Observe:
|
|
|
|
: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
: SET PROMPT - Makes my prompt look just the way I like it. :)
|
|
: -------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
: Do not expand the following environmental variables
|
|
setdos /x-35678
|
|
|
|
: Set our little subvariables here
|
|
|
|
: From this point on, we want to expand the environmental variables
|
|
setdos /x0
|
|
|
|
: Now make our big prompt
|
|
|
|
Now the function calls in our subvariables are not evaluated when they are
|
|
created. Rather, they are evaluated _after_ they have been assigned to the
|
|
BIG PROMPT. These functions will be evaluated every time our prompt
|
|
appears, giving us an accurate picture of what our system currently looks
|
|
like.
|
|
|
|
The next part of this tutorial will discuss adding color to your prompt.
|
|
|
|
_____The UNKNOWN_CMD Alias
|
|
|
|
4DOS has a very special alias. It is called UNKNOWN_CMD. Observe:
|
|
|
|
C:\>start Cubic Player v1.666 NOW!
|
|
Unknown command "START"
|
|
|
|
C:\>ALIAS UNKNOWN_CMD=`echo Sorry man... I can't`
|
|
|
|
C:\>start Cubic Player v1.666 NOW!
|
|
Sorry man... I can't start Cubic Player v1.666 NOW!
|
|
|
|
So what have we learned? We can change our "Unknown command" error message
|
|
to something a little more abusive or creative. This might be cool, but is
|
|
not really useful.
|
|
|
|
But instead of just changing the UNKNOWN_CMD alias to a different message,
|
|
why don't we actually change it to a different _command_? I am proud to
|
|
say I discovered this one myself and do not believe it to be documented
|
|
publicly anywhere until now. Observe:
|
|
|
|
C:\>dos
|
|
Unknown command "DOS"
|
|
|
|
C:\>ALIAS UNKNOWN_CMD=cdd
|
|
|
|
C:\>dos
|
|
|
|
C:\DOS>
|
|
|
|
We've actually made a bad command into a good one. Instead of issuing an
|
|
error message, 4DOS tried to change directories to the command you typed.
|
|
Think about it. All we have to do is type in the name of a subdirectory
|
|
and 4DOS changes to it. We can completely navigate our hard drive without
|
|
ever using the "CD" command! Having our CDPATH variable set (see part 3)
|
|
along with UNKNOWN_CMD gives you an _extremely_ efficient way of getting
|
|
around.
|
|
|
|
I haven't even seen a UNIX shell that can boast this kind of efficiency.
|
|
|
|
_____Conclusion
|
|
|
|
DOS is dying a slow and painful death, taking 4DOS with it. However, 4DOS
|
|
has been converted to several other PC-based operating systems. In future
|
|
editions of this article I'll start to discuss how to port your own 4DOS
|
|
environment to Windows 3.1, NT, 95, and OS/2.
|
|
|
|
With the basics covered, we are starting to get into some very cool topics.
|
|
The next edition of this series will talk about an intermediate level
|
|
prompt, using escape sequences in odd places, and moving your autoexec.bat
|
|
file out of the root directory.
|
|
|
|
And remember, 4DOS 4EVER!
