The magazine engine is copyright Lovell Fuller and Ian Scott 1995.  If you
would like to use it, don't; instead check out PressPack, our disc-mag
designer.  The individual articles are copyrighted by the author(s).  This
program is freeware and is subject to limited distribution.  All files
contained in this directory may be copied as long as:-

(a) You do not alter any file in any way.
(b) It remains as an archived file.
(c) You do not charge more than 1.50 for it.

Note to the proprietor(s) of Skyfall PD:  We believe you charge too much,
and provide a service which is less than satisfactory.  Therefore, you are
not allowed to distribute Spectrum issue three.  If Skyfall is caught
selling this program, we will sue you.  You may redeem yourselves; please
write.  Having said that, Spectrum issue three isn't a font... (allegedly).

How to use Spectrum issue three
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You will need to un-archive the Spectrum3 archive before you run it.  To
do this, simply drag the !Spectrum3 filer sprite (the Pink Floyd style
icon) to a filer window for a blank high density floppy disc or your hard
disc.

Spectrum issue three supports interactive help supplied by Acorn's !Help
application (found in the ResourceFS directory).  If you need help using
the desktop front end, then load this and move the pointer about to find out
more.  If you load up Spectrum issue three with the 'H' key held down, then
!Help will be automatically loaded for you.

The preferences window allows you some element of control over the
appearance/usage of Spectrum issue three.  You can turn the iconbar
animation on or off, pause the music on return to the desktop and choose
whether or not to lose the article from memory when returning to the
desktop.

Spectrum issue three allows you to print articles.  You will need to load a
printer driver to do this (found on Apps disc 1 supplied with your machine). 
You must also actually load an article, as well as deselect the Minimize
article memory preference.

If you find the loading of articles is slow, then increase the size of your
font cache, using the Task Manager, or simply buy a Risc PC.

To get to the magazine itself, simply click Select on the iconbar icon.  To
get extra help on the viewer once out of the desktop, click Menu, and select
the Help option.

RISC OS 2, 1Mb, ARM 2 and 800K disc drive users
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Issue three of Spectrum requires RISC OS 3.10+, and at least 2Mb of memory. 
All members of Sounds Riscy have 2Mb+ RISC OS 3.10+ machines.  We strongly
suggest that you upgrade to RISC OS 3 with 2Mb+ of memory.  The magazine can
be run from the archive on 800K floppy drive machines with plenty of free
memory, but if you can use high density floppy discs then we recommend that
you transfer the files from the Spectrum3 archive to a blank 1.6Mb disc
(or better still, a hard disc); Spectrum issue four will probably fill two
discs.  As for your ARM chip, it doesn't matter what you've got, 'cos it
runs nice and smooth on any Acorn 32-bit machine (tested on ARM2, ARM250,
ARM3, and ARM610), even with the music going!

Sounds Riscy need you!

your work to us on disc, and we will reply (and send some Sounds Riscy
stuff) within a couple of days.
