GFA Product Descriptions ================================================================ GFA-DRAFT 3.13 Powerful and comprehensive, yet easy to use CAD software for Atari ST/STE and Atari TT. Runs in both high and medium resolu- tions. Icon and menu driven commands. There are symbol libraries for electrical, electronic users and architects. Libraries of symbols are also easy to create. A program/macro interface (using GFA BASIC) will enable you to create complex forms and repetive patterns. Exports: HPGL, DXF and GEM files. Will support almost any model of printer or plotter. GFA-Draft Plus 3.2 also supports the Atari laser printer. ================================================================ GFA-Basic 3.5 (3.6 for TT) Interpreter Very powerful and fast interpreter for Atari ST/STE and Atari TT. Considered to be the fastest Basic interpreter available for the Atari. The fast editor checks the syntax of commands when entered, (ideal for begginers) and avoids mistyped variable names by advising the user that a new variable has been declared. Many features of C and Pascal are also included. Supports the GEM AES and VDI directly. All BIOS, XBIOS and GEMDOS commands are also supported. Supported by large user group and large public domain library. GFA-Basis is also supported by several tutorial programming books for all levels of users. GFA-Basic is also syntax compatible with GFA-BASIC Amiga, GFA- BASIC MS-DOS and GFA-BASIC Windows 3.1 versions, allowing your software to be ported to and from the Atari to many other environments. Development time and learning time is drastically reduced when using an interpreter, rather than a compiler. When development is complete then you can take advantage of the speed of a compiler, by compiling the interprer code with the GFA-Basic Compiler. ================================================================ GFA-Basic 3.5 (3.6 for TT) Compiler Creates faster compact stand alone code from GFA-BASIC Interpreter code. Easily creates desk top accessories. Allows programmer to merge assembler and C source with GFA-BASIC programs. Object code can be produced to run in either ST or TT ram. ================================================================ GFA-Assembler 1.51 An integrated development tool for the Atari ST/STE, comprising editor, macro assembler, linker and debugger. Supports multiple window, file compare, background assembly. Editor checks syntax of machine code on entry, hence ideal for programmers new to assembly language. Also creates files that can be loaded directly into GFA-BASIC. ================================================================ GFA G-Shell Professional development shell for GFA-BASIC Interpreter and Compiler on the Atari ST/STE and TT. Allows programmer to skip between Interpreter and Compiler. Supports make facility and on line help files. All Basic commands and functions description and syntax is available in an on line help. ================================================================ GFA GEM Utility Pack A set of GFA-BASIC 3.x routines to support the features of GEM that allow you to easily create window, menu and dialog box based applications on the Atari ST/STE. All GFA-BASIC source code supplied and documented to enable you to see how to create GEM based applications. ================================================================ GFA-Advanced Programming Book and Disk This book covers the following aspects of programming with GFA- BASIC 2.0 on the Atari ST/STE, (but is also relevant to 3.6):Graphics, GEMDOS, BIOS, AES, XBIOS, RSC, disc formatting, directories. In 231 pages with disk. ================================================================ GFA-Software Development Book and Disk This book covers in great detail the following aspects in GFA- BASIC 3.5 programming: Line A, Debugging, AES, GDOS, Assembler interface on the Atari ST/STE. ================================================================ GFA-Basic and Assembler User Book This book covers all that you will need to know in interfacing assembler routines into GFA-BASIC on the Atari ST/STE. Includes an introduction into assembly programming, creation of desk top accessories, graphic manipulation. Book (364 pages) plus disk ================================================================ GFA-Mission Control A program launcher and chainer for the Atari ST/STE. This utility will enable you to launch most programs with predefined start and load sequence. Termination of program can also result in automa- tic load of next program with parameter passing between applica- tions. ================================================================ MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows Did you know that your Atari ST programs can also run on a PC? GFA-BASIC is also available for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Over 500 commands that you are already familiar with on your Atari ST will also now function on the PC without modification. GFA-BASIC is syntax compatible on Amiga, ST, MS-DOS and Windows. You even have the familiar GEM style windows and menus available to you in GFA-BASIC for MS-DOS. GFA-Draft users will also be please to note that their drawing created with GFA-Draft plus on the Atari ST can be loaded directly into GFA-CAD for Windows. An additional bonus to registered users of GFA products, is the Customer loyalty discount we give. So if you are thinking of developing programs for both the Atari and PC, then contact GFA for further information of our discount.
