GFA Product Descriptions ================================================================ GFA-DRAFT 3.2 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 3.6 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 3.0 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 3.6 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. ================================================================ GFA GEM Utility Pack A set of GFA-BASIC 3.6 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. ================================================================ GFA is also the UK distributor for DIGIGRAM MIDI based products: DIGIGRAM Studio 24 A 24 track sequencer. Can print musical score. MIDIFFILE compa- tible. Internal metronome. ================================================================ DIGIGRAM Bigband Bigband is a composer and able to interface with Studio 24. Record/Play tracks. Supports 22 polyphonic tracks, 1 Chord track, 1 Melody track. ================================================================ DIGIGRAM Bigband Plus Comprise both Studio 24 and Bigband. ================================================================ DIGIGRAM PROSCORE Score printing with MIDI interface. Real time MIDI recording and playback. Score up to 27 instruments (54 staves), 4 drum staves. 1 chord notation. Supports Atari laser printer and all dot matrix printers. ================================================================ DIGIGRAM SONATA Musical teaching software. Covers Rhythm,Notes, Chorals, Intervals. ================================================================ Other products sold by GFA: Introducing Atari St machine Code R.Pearson/ S Hodgson When GFA received this book for review we realised that it was just what all our users have been asking for. This book will introduce you to 68000 machine code in very easy steps. A complete programming environment for the beginner and intermediate ST applications and games programmers. This book contains an assembler, editor and debugger to get you started. Of great value to GFA-BASIC programmers, is a section on interfacing GFA-BASIC and machine code. Over 40 sample source code programs are also contained on the disk. ================================================================= GFA Produsts are also available for the PC: GFA-BASIC for MS-DOS GFA-BASIC for WINDOWS 3.0 ================================================================= GFA Data Media (UK) Ltd Box 121 Wokingham Berkshire RG11 1FA Tel: 0734 794941 Fax: 0734 890782
