  I have filled up the ADFS version of   
  issue 40 with the following delights:  
                                         
  A mode 3 screen from 1V5. Filename:    
  "8BSpic"

  Subject: Pictures on the BBC           
                                         
  I was very impressed by the PAWNS      
  picture in issue 36, and decided to see
  if I could produce pictures of similar 
  quality on the BBC.                    
                                         
  I decided to convert from .BMP bitmap  
  image files which are readily available
  in the PC world, and are used by       
  Windows and OS/2.  There are also      
  various programs which will convert    
  other graphics formats to .BMP.        
                                         
  Working mainly during lunchtimes at    
  work, using BBCBASIC86 on a PC, I am   
  developing a suite of conversion       
  programs.  The results so far are      
  quite encouraging.  CJR permitting,    
  there should be a couple of examples on
  this disc.                             
                                         
  The programs are written in BASIC and  
  are currently very slow (100+ sec. on a
  '486DX2/66, over an hour on a BBC micro
  I should think!)                       
                                         
  I don't have time for more details     
  now, but look out for further          
  developments!                          
                                         
                                         
  DIR $.ADFSextra.BINGO                  
  Bingo. By myself and updated recently  
  by an 8BS member. It works best with   
  Speech from Superior Software. If you  
  don't have Speech, remember that you   
  can obtain it at 10% discount from     
  Superior Software if you quote your 8BS
  User ID. Ask me for the Superior Blue  
  Catalogue.                             
                                         
  DIR $.ADFSextra.Tape>Disc              
  TBI-70 Tape to disc utilities. This    
  disc is regularly updated. This is the 
  latest version. I have made a number of
  changes particularly to the *RUN info  
  files. This is so that the disc will   
  run in ADFS. The disc is normally      
  supplied in DFS format. My apologies to
  everyone that have already got this.   
                                         
  DIR $.ADFSextra.TAU-6                  
  TAU-6 The Acorn User Educational disc. 
  A lot of the programs in this one had  
  unnecessary references to DFS which I  
  have removed to enable you to run the  
  collection from this issue. However,   
  don't be surprised if the odd bug crops
  up. If it fails, transfer it to DFS.   
                                         
  That's it for now. See you in 41.
