d508 VECTOR drawing package v1.10. A working demo version of the program from 4Mation but with the Save function disabled. Vector is the enhanced commercial version of Jonathan Martins Draw Plus on disc B060 PLUS 4Mations DBEdit desktop Basic editor. The nicest Basic editor I've seen. Fully operational except that the Save and Run functions are disabled. Before buying another editor have a look at this. _____________________________________________________________________________
d509 PIPEDREAM 3 demo. Fully functional except you can't save or print. This has now been superseded by Pipedream 4 but it's still available, often very cheaply, so if you are thinking of buying Pipedream it might be worth looking at both before you choose PIPEDREAM 4 demo. As with the previous disc this is fully functional except that you can't save or print your work. Well worth looking at before you part with your cash. See also Resultz, Fireworkz and Wordz on D538, D539, D540 and Fireworkz Pro on D547 _____________________________________________________________________________
d511 Playable demo of LEMMINGS by Krisalis. I suggest you also try the PD version by Tom Cooper on disc G009. PLUS a playable demo of CATACLYSM from 4th Dimension. _____________________________________________________________________________
d512 POSTER from 4Mation. This functional demo version has only a single font instead of the twenty supplied with the full version and you can't Save your work. _____________________________________________________________________________

d519 SCHEMA Working demo version of Clares spreadsheet. Save and Print have been disabled but everything else functions PLUS Some screen shots from Clares games put together using Illusionist -------------------------------------------------------------- These discs are demos of Clares programs created with Illusionist.

d520 ARMADEUS _____________________________________________________________________________
d521 ARTISAN _____________________________________________________________________________
d523 ILLUSIONIST -------------------------------------------------------------- _____________________________________________________________________________
d524 Two nice demo Illusionist animations, DALEK and RED ROCKER, using screens created with Render Bender _____________________________________________________________________________
d525 Oh No, more LEMMINGS. Playable 5 level demo of the sequel from Krisalis Software. Although this demo is self contained the full product is not, and you will need to have the original Lemmings. PLUS 3D CONSTRUCTION KIT A 'working' demo from Domark. _____________________________________________________________________________
d526 IMPACT database from Circle Software. Almost the full program but 'crippled' so it can't create databases but only use the sample included (a simple name and address type). Otherwise it's functional. You can enter data and use it, ie. everything works so you can print labels, load and save etc. To 'unlock' the extra features you phone Circle Software, credit card at the ready, they give you a code and send the printed manual. Impact can be used for mail merging with Impression using Impulse and exchange data via the Acorn CSV format. At nearly £50+VAT Impulse seems a bit dear for a straightforward dbase (compare with £10 for Power Base). However there would appear to be no bar to using it in the form on this disc indefinitely so worth a look. PLUS CADet = A functional demo version of the CAD package from Minerva. Most features are useable but you cannot save your work. Comes with an example drawing. Imagery = A useable demo of the art package. As usual the Save function and some others have been disabled. _____________________________________________________________________________
d528 Micro Trader = Working demo of the accounts package from PRES. Some functions are disabled. It is not possible to save anything, the VAT is disabled, only part of a report can be printed and you can't print any invoices that you create, only the samples. All the main functions work so it gives a good idea of the product. _____________________________________________________________________________
d529 Demo version of the DIGITAL SYMPHONY editor/player from Oregan which is probably the best program of this type available for the Arc. Completely functional except you can't save your work and it quits after a short time. Comes with seven demo Symphony tunes. Definitely the best program of this type. *** updated June 94 *** _____________________________________________________________________________
d530 REPTON 4 = Playable demo of the latest version of this classic LAST NINJA = 6 level playable demo of the game from Superior Software POPULOUS = Playable demo of the game from Krisalis _____________________________________________________________________________
d531 A sampler disc of resources being made available by iTa. There are files for Junior Pinpoint, My World, Geography, Eureka and Data Sweet. These obviously need the original applications and are intended for use in schools. _____________________________________________________________________________
d532 RHAPSODY-3 and RHYTHM-BED demos from Clares. These will only load and run the demo files which are included but you can play around with them and try out all the functions of the programs. _____________________________________________________________________________
d533 PERFORM and SERENADE demos from Clares. Again functional but no SAVE _____________________________________________________________________________
d534 TOPOGRAPHER demo from Clares. Once again no Save or Print functions but most others work. Contains a short tutorial and some examples. _____________________________________________________________________________
d535 PRO ARTISAN demo from Clares. Usual restrictions but includes three good examples. One of the best art packages around at the moment so take a look before you part with your loot. _____________________________________________________________________________
d536 PLOT demo from Clares. "a flexible data manipulation and presentation package combining the features and ease of use of a graph plotter with the power of a professional manipulation and plotting tool". Sounds good, so give it a try. KNOWLEDGE ORGANISER reader. This is not a K.O. demo but a 'display only' distributable version with samples. _____________________________________________________________________________
d537 EUREKA a functioning demo version of Longman Logotron's spreadsheet with several examples. Plus functional demo versions of KEYSTROKES and MAIL MAN _____________________________________________________________________________
D538 WORDZ Useable demo of the wordprocessor from Colton Software. Full version has spelling checker and thesaurus. Can't Save or Print.

d539 RESULTZ The successor to Pipedream. Again Save and print are disabled. _____________________________________________________________________________
d540 FIREWORKZ This is a combination of Resultz and Wordz and can be used as a wordprocessor with full spreadsheet functions or visa versa. Unlike Pipedream it really is a fully functioning wp. See also Fireworkz Pro on D547 _____________________________________________________________________________
d542 MATHS CARD Functional demo from Creative Curriculum Software (CCS) of a program for creating maths worksheets for use in the National Curriculum. Saves the finished worksheets as Drawfiles so they can be printed out neatly for use by students. Handles all standard operations. Comes with several sample worksheets.

MORPH FACES A demo showing four 'morphing' faces created with Oregon Software's MORPHEUS program GUARDIANS Single level playable version of Guardians of the Labyrinth from Soft Rock. 3D CHESS Playable version of the desktop chess game from MicroPower. This game is only 'crippled' in that it's 2 player only, you can't play the computer. _____________________________________________________________________________
d545 Detritus Demo. This is a 'cut down' version (only nine screens) of what would appear to be a graphics adventure game. Apparently the full game occupies six discs. The Authors don't seem to think it's worth writing proper instructions (and what there is seems rather puerile and somewhat lacking in punctuation), but what can you expect from a company that calls itself Myndgaemz and doesn't mention the price of the full product? (Must be ex-A***a owners!) _____________________________________________________________________________
d546 Sibelius 6 and Sibelius 7. Demo versions of what is probably the best music composing/processing programs available. These are functional except that you can't Save or Print your work. _____________________________________________________________________________
d547 FIREWORKZ PRO The 'professional' version of Colton Software's Fireworkz package. Has extra features and functions. _____________________________________________________________________________ © Aaron Timbrell and 3QD Developments Ltd 22/04/2026
