This sections contains Commercial software, Licenceware, pre-registered
Shareware programs, David Pillings programs (eg. ArcFax and SparkFS) and
other low cost programs, including Games. At the end are demonstration
versions of commercial software.

Some CDs including Games CDs are in the CDs/Books catalogue.

By demand from customers we now have a selection of commercial software
at low prices. It's a bit short because I only list items I can sell
VERY cheaply. Check this list before you buy elsewhere, and remember,
prices INCLUDE VAT and UK carriage.

IMPORTANT -- As some items contain printed manuals they can heavy. This
means we have to charge extra postage for OVERSEAS customers (UK postage
is always included). Where this applies the extra is shown in curly
brackets AT the end of the title, like this
                                                            {2}

Overseas postage is NOT (yet) added on by the !Order program so PLEASE
don't forget to add it to the total price calculated by !Order and
remember it's for overseas custoners ONLY - UK postage is included.

              =============================================



As this section of the catalogue is now completely redundant andhas little
historical interest we have removed it in the interests of brevity (it was
quite large) and retained just the commercial Demo disc section.

These are demonstration versions of commercial software. Many are functional
with restrictions. For example most playable demo's of games have only a
couple of levels instead of 50 or more in the full game.

Software producers - This is a cheap and powerful way of spreading the good
      news about your products. No matter how much money you spend on colour
      ads in magazines it's not nearly as persuasive as giving someone a
      'demo' version and letting them use it. If the program is any good
      they'll get 'hooked' and you've made a sale. If it doesn't do exactly
      what they want perhaps you won't sell a copy but you won't have a
      dissatisfied customer who feels he/she has been persuaded to buy
      something they didn't really want. Instead they will be pleased with
      your service and happy to consider your products in the future.

Prospective purchasers - By PC and Mac standards software for Acorn machines
      is cheap. However it's a good idea to try a program at leisure before
      parting with your money rather than relying on reviews and a five
      minute demonstration in a shop by a salesman who may be more
      interested in getting you to part with your cash than pointing out
      that the best product for your needs is the one he doesn't stock. If a
      company doesn't produce a demo of a major application so you can't
      'try before you buy' then ask yourself WHY and try those that DO first


               ALL SOFTWARE IN THIS SECTION IS COPYRIGHT.

You are permitted to use it to evaluate the program to help you decide
whether you wish to purchase it. Before passing on copies of any software
please read any Copyright messages on the disc.

Some items have not been sent directly by distributors. We normally confirm
there is no objection to programs being distributed but it is possible we
may have something to which a distributor objects. APDL has included all
these items in good faith and most companies benefit greatly from this type
of promotion. We believe there is nothing here which would be detrimental to
the Copyright holder. If you object to an item to which your company holds
Copyright we will withdraw it if requested.

If your company has products for which you produce demos or updates of any
items in this section we would like to hear from you. We are always happy to
include demos of products by reputable software houses.


D500  Hawksridge LABYRINTH v2.00. Graphical adventure by Alex Hopkins. Fully
      playable and quite enjoyable. Gives a good idea what to expect in the
      full version.
       Plus  a playable demo of BLOWPIPE

D502  Alpine Software CREATOR demos. Three demos, two playable, of games
      that can be created by this software - !Demo, !Breakout and !Shootem.

D503  SCORPIUS from Arxe Systems. This latest version is now playable.
      PROVOCATOR from CTS. A fully playable 3 level demo.
      BAMBUZZLE from Arxe Systems. Once again fully playable.

D504  Fully playable demo of AGGRESSOR and a non playable demo of AIR
      SUPREMACY set in the 1914-18 scenario.

D505  Two playable demos. JAMES POND from Krisalis Software and 2067BC from
      Oregan.

D506  Fed up trying to save Lemmings? At last here's your chance to get your
      own back and kill some little furry b*@%#$er's for a change.
      A three level playable demo of PESKY MUSKRATS
      PLUS a useable demo of the NOTATE music program

D507  A fully playable demo of PSYCHEDELIC ROCKERS from Green Angel Design.

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 Jonathen 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 supeseded by Pipedream 4 (see next disc) but it's
      still available, often very cheaply, so if you are thinking of buying
      Pipdream it might be worth looking at both before you choose

D510  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.
           o---------------------------------------------------o
           | If you are unsure which version of Pipedream you  |
           | want I will supply PD3 + PD4 archived on a single |
           | disc but with fewer examples - Order as D509+D510 |
           o---------------------------------------------------o
                 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.

D513  NOOT from 4Mation. A program for creating interactive 'book' like
      animated packages for use as teaching aids.

D514  SNIPPET from 4Mation. Allows a part or the whole of any screen to be
      saved at any time. Also has extensive editing facilities. The Save
      function has been disabled on this version.
         Plus
      CHAMELEON from 4Mation. Allows the colours and shading of Draw files
      to be changed. Once again Save is disabled.

D515  SMART from 4Mation. An interactive program designed to help in
      teaching. This demo has a variety of example files of objects which
      can be examined and manipulated, House, Robot, Church, Windmill etc.

D516  SMART from 4Mation. A second demo with example files showing how the
      program can be used as an interactive aid for teaching modern
      languages. A whole series of ready made 'subjects' is available from
      4Mation designed to cover most of the curriculum.

D518  TITLER and SEQUENCER from Clares. These are working programs but both
      have the Save function disabled.

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.
      They consist of animated screen shots etc. but are not functional.

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 Superiour 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. Note
      that this and the following Resultz and Fireworkz demos are the full
      versions direct from Colton and not the 'cut down' demos which have
      appeared on cover discs
      NB - You need 2Mb to use any of the new Colton programs.

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

D541  WORDZ, RESULTZ and FIREWORKZ demos compressed on to a 1.6Mb disc. In
      order to get all three on one disc some of the example files have been
      omitted and there isn't room for a copy of ArcFS.
   NOTE - This disc is available as 1.6Mb only and costs 2.00

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.
    PLUS
      LANGDALE Demo of a multimedia project delivery system from CCS

D543  G-DRAFT  Demo version of CAD program which can be used for any type of
      technical drawing. Operates in the desktop and has a maximum drawing
      size in excess of A0 with up to 8 layers. Can print to HPGL plotter or
      output in DrawFile format for printing via the Risc OS printer drivers
      although these functions are disabled in the demo version.

D544  INTERNATIONAL  GOLF Playable demo version of the golf game from Q-Soft
      HAMSTERS  Non playable demo of the game.
      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.
