DiskMag-Pack 2004
++++-+++-++-+--+---+------+---------------------+------+---+--+-++-+++-++++
The DiskMag-Pack is an extensive collection of different diskmags. We
collected and sorted mainly German but also a lot of international diskmags
on this CD. A complete list can be found in the list_eng.txt file or in the
html documents. Also the time sortet chronology provides a good overview.
This cd was created because nobody has done this before. A typical Scene CD
like "Dreams 2" stores only a few diskmags but never a whole collection.
That's why we created this archive. We needed a lot of time (several
months) to sort the collection - we stored as many diskmags as possible on
this CD. Then for every diskmag we added a picture, a description, and
created the menu. And this because of Cream...
For beginners we recommend the text files of the English mags.faq by Adok
(main editor of Hugi). The Hugi diskmag is also one of the most relevant
diskmags and can be executed directly from the CD.

Charts
++++-+++-++-+--+---+------+---------------------+------+---+--+-++-+++-++++
The readers of many diskmags regularly take part in an opinion poll. The
opinion poll creates a list of the top 10 demos, intros and of course the
best diskmags. In the 15th issue of Worldcharts from December 2002 the
following results were presented:
1. Pain 6. Static Line
2. Hugi 7. Wildmag
2. Chemical Reaction 8. Shine
4. Worldcharts 9. Budyn
5. Imphobia 10. Legend
In addition to that, we recommend WildMag, TAP.MAG, Cream, Suicide, IMAgE,
Mars, Skyline and Platinum for all German readers. We recommend Gutter,
Blister, Fistful of Steel, Ooze, Beyond the Horizon and Trip 2 Hell for be-
ginners who are interested in ansi magazines. Very interesting newsletters
are Demojournal, Static Line, Trax Weekly and the Hugi Newsletter.

Technical Problems
++++-+++-++-+--+---+------+---------------------+------+---+--+-++-+++-++++
OUT OF MEMORY: This is usually an EMS-Memory error message. Edit the
config.sys and change or delete the tag NoEMS after the emm386.exe tag
and reboot your system.
WRONG SOUNDCARD: Copy the diskmag onto your hard disk, type attrib -r /s
and then start it again. In some cases it is necessary that you run the
diskmag with the parameter /setup or /c. If this doesn't work, try to
delete the .cfg config file.
WRITE PROTECTION: After you have copied the whole diskmag files onto your
hard disk you have to remove the attributes of these files, i.e. type
attrib -r /s.
GUS: Some diskmags can only play music with the "Gravis Ultrasound"
soundcard. If you don't have a GUS use the NoSound option of the maga-
zine (if available) or just type '0' if recommended.
VESA: If a diskmag shows you an entire list of graphic cards use the Vesa
option. If this doesn't work, install UniVBE, which can be found in the
tools directory of this CD, and try again.
ZIP: Some diskmags contain special programs, source codes or a game which
is attached in a zipped file. With one of the following programs you can
unpack these files: PKUnzip, WinZip16 or WinZip32.
RUNTIME ERROR 200: If this error occurs, the tools ctBPPat or TPPatch can
fix the incompatible program files. Compressed files must be
decompressed with UNP before. In each case the diskmag have to be copied
on hard disc.
EXIT: If Esc or the right mouse button doesn't work try Alt+X or F10.
