MAILING LIST
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
If you are not recieving this newsletter via E-mail and would like to
|
|
just mail us a message at dmw@eng.ufl.edu asking to be added to the
|
|
"demonews" mailing list. This is not done automatically so you do not
|
|
need to type anything specific. We can also send you the "TOP25DL" which
|
|
is in the /news directory and compiles the top 25 downloaded files every
|
|
week automatically.
|
|
|
|
FOR those wondering "Hey, I subscribed but I did not receive anything
|
|
via mail yet." consider the following: a) This weekend the mail decided
|
|
it would take a DAY longer to be sent--i.e. the post office does dont
|
|
deliver mail on the weekends (seems to be the same policy here), b) for
|
|
those of you who know UNIX we use the "at" command and I update the same
|
|
file that is atted--I suspected "at" spooled the file but did not
|
|
know until I just proved it TODAY. Thus, either we have to start doing
|
|
a double "at" or just split our program in half. If you have no idea
|
|
what I am talking about don't worry cause someone has it under control.
|
|
|
|
The only mail to BOUNCE this week was to--Toby (again). If Toby wants
|
|
it fixed he has to notify me asap.

This file is in the /alpha directory has been recently updated. This week
|
|
demos k-n were updated fully. By the end of the month everything should
|
|
be back to where it was a year ago--100% updated. Of course this does not
|

Demos & Money
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Future Crew has gotten a few bucks, Ultraforce has, as well as a few
|
|
other PC demo groups. Well, maybe this is your chance--if you like
|
|
Creative (SB company). I saw this tidbit posted on c.s.i.p.d and it
|
|
was not sent directly to me.

Subject: Request for bids

Summary: Creative Tech needs a demo
|
|
Keywords: demo 3-d money

Date: Fri, 11 Mar 1994 19:39:02 GMT
|
|
|
|
Creative Technology Ltd. is requesting bids for demo/training
|
|
software for a new wireless 3D input device product line. This
|
|
software should demonstrate the unique capabilities of the device
|
|
for navigation and control of X,Y, and Z axes, as well as rotational
|
|
input, in true 3 dimensional movement rather than implied movement
|
|
as with traditional joysticks. The hardware connects via a standard
|
|
serial port.
|
|
|
|
The program must create excitement about the product, it should
|
|
feature fast 3D graphics and high quality sound effects and music.
|
|
The software may also introduce new ideas for the use of the
|
|
vertical axis and the 3D cube such as layering, where each layer or
|
|
zone in the 3D space has a unique meaning to the application.
|
|
|
|
This program will be used for trade show and other demos and will
|
|
be bundled with our product as an introduction and 3D tutorial for
|
|
the customer. As such we feel it will provide an excellent
|
|
opportunity for the software developer to promote itself to a wide
|
|
audience. Future 3D software development projects are also planned
|
|
for this product line. Please send questions, comments, sample demo
|
|
programs and/or a proposal or contact information to
|
|
jpynchon@netcom.com.
|
|
|
|
Creative Technology Ltd. designs, manufactures, and markets the line
|
|
of Sound Blaster audio cards for the PC, as well as Multimedia
|
|
Upgrade Kit bundles and video capture boards such as the Video
|
|
Blaster.
