APPLE II MUSIC & SOUND FORUM CONFERENCE LOG

AFL JoyceM We will be talking about SoundSmith soon. Waiting for our guest
:)

Dr Teeth Hey, Parik. Do you still have any notes on the SoundSmith
format? File format, that is.

AFA Parik Nothing besides memories, teeth. :) There is a technote in ADV.
There is also full source for playing SS songs (both .wav and asif
insts) inadv.

Dr Teeth Really? Okay, I'll check it out.

AFA Parik basically everything you need to play, edit, etc, etc both ss and
synthlab songs are in the ADV libs.

Dr Teeth Question---> What is the best file you've come across in your
listening years?

AFA Parik one of the mods, teeth.

AFL JoyceM For what program, Teeth?

AFA Parik I love row-row-row your boat, Popcorn. Also HouseBeat (500k!)

Dr Teeth (giving Parik a Shoved-Init)

AFC Brite the Hallelujah Chorus

Dr Teeth Hmm. SynthLab, right? I never really check those out....

AFC Brite oops, wrong program !

AFC Eddie Why, Brite, how nice of you to say that! Thanks!

Dr Teeth And I did mean SS, Joyce

AFC Brite when I get my new hard drive, I'll have more room to play with SS
files

AFL JoyceM Jim, He (Dave) told me he would try very hard to make this event.
If he can't, I have the necessary information.

Dr Teeth I'm still here, really! It is kind of disconcerting when the Forum
leader leaves.....

Atomic D Wasn't sound smith done by Hubiert Aalberts?

Dr Teeth That's him!

Atomic D Does he have a publisher?

AFL JoyceM Well, I can see that SevenHills is late....so...let me see if I
can fill in for them.

Dr Teeth Yes Atomic. Seven hills is publishing SS 1.0.

AFL JoyceM Okay, as most of you all know, SevenHills will be releasing
SoundSmith in the next couple of months. It is still being beta
tested. Also, it will have (and does have) MIDI input
capabilities.

Anyone have a questions, that hopefully I can answer :)

AFA Parik i'm told SS's midi input is, to put it nicely, awful. You need
to have a prerecorded song already playing or somesuch nonesense.
True?

Dr Teeth Does SoundSmith add any more and/or better editing tools in 1.0?

AFC Eddie True, but there's a way around that, Parik.

AFL Marty I don't know that I'd call it awful.

AFL JoyceM Parik, the inputting with MIDI right now is very awkward.
(difficult in my opinion), but with the beta version I have, that
'feature' will be changing.

AFL Marty Awkward is a good word.

AFL JoyceM I thought so too, Marty :) We are hoping that editing tools and
other utilites will be featured with SS (how do you like that
non-disclosure comment - I feel like Apple ) :)

AFA Parik it sounds like the only thing changed in ss 1.0 is awkard MIDI
input. and the owner.

Dr Teeth Well, I just wonder if there will be anything like Track volume,
etc.

AFL JoyceM Parik, I feel positive that the final release of SS will be a 100%
improvement over what we now have available. The Window menu is
really quite nice, and with input from the beta testers, I am
sure SevenHills will do the best they can to bring us a super,
easy to use, edit, program.

AFL Marty But MIDI input for SS is a big deal. It's such a drudge to input
tunes via that spreadsheet thing.

AFL JoyceM Agree, Marty. and designing MIDI input into a program that didn't
have it is difficult.

Dr Teeth SPEAK FOR YOURSELF, MARTY (from someone who canna play a note)

ELECTMUSIC Joyce, any idea on cost of the program?

AFA Parik is Huibert still programming Soundsmith v1.0? Or has 7hills taken
over?

AFL Marty I was speaking for myself.

AFC Eddie MIDI capability for SS will mean conversion capability to and from
other formats.

AFL JoyceM No, Greg....not yet. I am sure the closer they get to a final,
releasable version, prices will be discussed.

I am under the understanding that SevenHills has taken it over,
but I could be wrong.

AFA Parik i dunno, my feeling is that if NoiseTracker gets MIDI and editing
capabilities, or if SynthLAB get editing, it would kick.

ELECTMUSIC I am assuming Joyce, that the Midi Implimentation is the Standard
Midi File Format?

AFL Marty That is correct, Joyce. Dave Hecker posted something to that
effect in the Seven Hills area.

AFL JoyceM We are hoping so, Greg

AFC Eddie I doubt if SLab will ever get editing or NT will ever get MIDI.

Dr Teeth What Seven Hills Area?

Dr Teeth Or heck, if NT ever gets editing (useful that is)

AFL Marty Go to APR or AGR and select Direct Connect...

AFL Marty Seven Hills area is listed there.

AFA Parik you could, I guess, use SoundSmith to create your songs and
NoiseTracker to set the instruments.

KimBrennan NT has problems with standard SS files.

AFC Eddie I doubt if SS will save or load in MIDI file format, Greg.

Dr Teeth NT doesn't support any commands other than volume and tempo.

ELECTMUSIC Well, how is the Midi Input working at this point?

Nuzz If someone would write a good MidiSynth editor, I'd gladly
publish it!

AFC Eddie It's done in real time recording, Greg.

Dr Teeth Midi is for performers....

AFL JoyceM Greg, it is very awkward/difficult at this point.

AFC Eddie Nuzz, we wish!

ELECTMUSIC How accurate is it?



AFL JoyceM We need Parik to write that MS editor!!! :)

AFL JoyceM Greg, I can't answer that....I don't know. I can't get the MIDI
thingie to work well enought.

AFA Parik i'll pass that duty along to dyajim :)

Nuzz Yes Parik" If you write it, they will come"

AFA Andy Yeah, Go for it Parik.

AFC Eddie Do it together, Parik and Jim!

AFA Andy That would even be better, Eddie.

KimBrennan OK. Under 5.04 I found that SS had to have the MIDI device ON and
connected. Otherwise it wouldn't work at all.

AFL JoyceM Interesting, Kim....you can leave me E-mail if you would -
thanks.

KimBrennan It works under 6.0...IMHO better than under 5.04

AFL JoyceM I did....that wasn't the problem, hmmmm, how do I say this, the
awkwardness of imputting with MIDI was beyond my
comprehension/ability.

KimBrennan Ok, Joyce, noted. I'll e-mail you

Dr Teeth I would think that you would have to have a very fast playing song
to get any kind of an accurate input.

AFL JoyceM I use Floyd's FileTools, and have to disable it before I can run
SS - otherwise I get dumped.

KimBrennan Hmmm. I don't use FileTools (though I keep meaning to put it in my
DA folder.

AFL JoyceM I figure one needs to take about 4 hours to do it justice. I
really think that once they get some of the awkwardness out of
the program as we know it today (beta version), it will really be
a great one.

AFC Eddie Yes, Filetools will not work with any program in MIDI input.

Dr Teeth SS .95 takes a LOT of room, I don't see that 1.0 will take any
less.

AFL JoyceM I know, Eddie...but I can't even run SS with FileTools active.
For some reason, those two are not compatible.

AFC Eddie One thing to note: SS MIDI will never allow changes in note
duration.

Dr Teeth The main EXE file is an image of some 700K or so (but only about
60-70k on the disk.

KimBrennan I noted some menu changes from .95 to 1.0b5

AFL JoyceM Yes, I did too. I really think that SevenHills is trying.

Dr Teeth Eddie-You can shorten a note by using STP or fading it to a level
of 0 and for longer notes you need to use a long sample or a
looped instrument.

AFL JoyceM I am positive with their abilities.

AFC Eddie Yes, Teeth, but you can't do quarter notes, half notes, whole
notes, etc. within a track.

AFL JoyceM Eddie, why is that?

Dr Teeth However it is possible to play a sampled instrument with a sustain
loop inside of the sample, so that there is an Attack, a sustain
and a release just like a model sound wave.

AFC Eddie Because the basic note length is determined by the instrument
sample.

Agreed, Teeth, but that's not precise enough for real
musicianship.

Whereas with full MIDI implementation, as in SLab or DTune, you do
get that.

Dr Teeth MOD files use them all the time, and
noise tracker can play them (only in mods though).And I am enough
of a musician (trombone, baritone, tuba, and a
smattering of guitar) to know that all music can be represented
by numbers.

AFC Eddie Yes, but SS doesn't allow certain numbers!

KimBrennan No sweat, Joyce. Beta testers should communicate between each
other.

AFL JoyceM Agree :)

Dr Teeth All 'true musicianship' is is how less lazy you are to get the
accidentals perfect. What numbers?

AFC Eddie You can't say, for instance, that one note of a certain inst. will
be precisely twice as long as the last.

Dr Teeth Er, I don't understand what you mean, Eddie.

AFC Eddie Let's say you had a string instrument in Soundsmith and wanted to
do a one track tune (boring, I know, but just for argument sake).
And you wanted to play a melody which had some notes longer than
others. How do you do it in SS?

Dr Teeth Am I dealing with a looped instrument or not?

AFC Eddie Either way.

Dr Teeth Okay. If it were a slow song, in say largo or so, I would use a
looped instrument and use STP for rests. If each note followed
the next, there is a natural attack bewteen each note to
diferenciate between the two, so that all the notes do not run
into each other. On a faster song with not really long notes
(like a dotted whole note), an unsustained instrument works fine,
and again, when silence is needed, you shove in a STP command
or turn the volume off at the appropriate time.

AFC Eddie But what if you wanted one note to be two or three beats longer
than the last?

AFL JoyceM Our guest has arrived :)

Dr Teeth Er, what do you mean "longer than the last". In soundsmith, you
can set out how many spaces to a beat (versus beats to a
measure). To extend the length of the note you just put the Stp
or next note that much further down the line. Or are you talking
about having the decay of one note extend further than the
duration of the one following it?

SevenHills Hi! Gee, I didn't know you were billing me as an actual guest! I
woulda quit early to be here on time!

AFL JoyceM No problem, Dave - we are just glad you could make it. Dave, do
you want to tell us a little about SoundSmith....I am sure I left
out some important items.

AFC Eddie Sorry, Teeth, we should allow our guest to go now... I'd like to
continue this with you later, tho!

SevenHills You probably covered the "biggie"...MIDI support.

Dr Teeth Okay, No problem

Dr Teeth Er, I think that you were beat up on MIDI

AFL JoyceM We did, and I know that some people had some questions that I
couldn't answer.

SevenHills I'll have to read the transcript when it's posted. Keep in mind
that this discussion is about a program that is NOT released, so
things are still changing. Specifically, MIDI support (being new)
isn't yet as advanced as we want it.

DanW190 Is SS v1.0 finished or can we still submit suggestions for helpful
editor commands?

SevenHills You can suggest features for SoundSmith; v1.0 is NOT done (it only
recently entered beta testing). I obviously can't make any
guarantees about _when_ a particular suggestion would be
implemented, but if you've got any, please send them via email to
"SevenHills" (if we get your suggestions there's a chance for
inclusion; if we don't get them then there's no way
we can include them).

Dr Teeth Is there any plans for Global Track volume (where, if wanted you
could automatically assign track volumes that would let you
change volume during a song without having to do each note by
hand?

DanW190 Great, thanks! Do you mean via track or via selection box?

Dr Teeth Er, via Track I think.

SevenHills Hmmm...Please forgive my ignorance on what the shareware version
of SoundSmith had...I've been only dealing with the new
SoundSmith so I might be telling you about something you already
know, but..

Dr Teeth It's mostly so you can follow accidentals in music that goes from
all soft to all loud. Which is almost impossible with SS .95

SevenHills There is a way to highlight a range of notes (or "cells" in the
spreadsheet) and either (a) apply a certain volume to those
notes, or (b) Fade in the volume or (c) Fade out the volume.
So you don't have to change the volume of each note individually.
Is that what you're after?

Dr Teeth That's IT!

DanW190 Option A is what I was talking about, that's great! :)

Dr Teeth How about Fade (From volume) (To volume) Instead of Fade
completely in or Fade comepletly out?

SevenHills Good suggestion; we'll consider it!

Dr Teeth I've got millions of em, having to punch in all those 'cells' by
hand and then doing the post producion on it

ELECTMUSIC Would suggestion be better left in your forum or in AMS?

SevenHills It would be best to email suggestions directly to our SevenHills
address.

Dr Teeth How about a 'Cut instrument from track' option. For use with Ian
Schmidts Modifier (converts Amegia Mod files), so you could
expand from the MOD's four tracks to the full 15

DanW190 How about a checkbox in the "Fade" dialog that would only place
the "3xx" volume change command in note boxes that have an
instrument defined (to eliminate the funny "choppy" sound you get
when sometimes fading large selections of unsustaining
instruments?) (or maybe I should just e-mail this stuff?) :)

Dr Teeth (I didn't know that was what was causing the funny choppy sound,
hmmmm)

SevenHills Dan, that might be possible, but don't know how it would sound
(since fading is normally a consistent drop/increase in volume
over a set amount of time).

DanW190 All I can say is that some selections sound better when you remove
the 3xx commands from sections that don't have notes playing..
This happened when fading an entire block, or other size ranges.
I'll e-mail you the full info.

Dr Teeth I think that the 'choppy sound is caused by fading a too small
area.

SevenHills Email would be best because it'll _definitely_ get saved in our
SoundSmith folder so our SS project manager can deal with it.

I can imagine a choppy sound could occur fading over too small an
area, or fading a large area where you've got a few notes here
and there (because there would be a steady fade during silence,
then a sudden drop/increase when the next batch of notes was hit.

Dr Teeth BTW, I'm curious. How much of the program is still Huibert's
programming?

SevenHills Huibert is still doing 100% of the coding. He's mainly interested
in getting MIDI done and releasing version 1.0 ASAP. We'd like
to incorporate more feature changes.

DanW190 How about adding resource support for the menus and windows? :)

SevenHills We're trying to find a happy medium that'll satisfy us both.

AFC Eddie Dave, I'll send you a copy of the transcript of this chat in its
entirety so you can see all the suggestions.

SevenHills Thanks, Eddie! I appreciate it!

AFL JoyceM I know it is getting late back east...do we have any more
questions for Seven Hills?

Dr Teeth Hmm. Well I know that I could make myself a real nuisance for
making suggestions. But I'll do them in E mail...

I do have one more question though

AFL JoyceM Dave, can you stick around a little longer?

SevenHills Sure

Dr Teeth Huibert sent me a copy of SS1.0 Alpha, and all it does is bomb
out. Am i mistaken that he changed the format of
SoundSmith.Config file and that he neglected to send me one?
(I reason this because I erased my config file from .95 and it
bombed out at the same place and time) And the config file from
.95 wont work.

SevenHills I'm checking...

Dr Teeth Okay..I'm waiting...

SevenHills I don't think so...I don't believe there is a "config" file with
SoundSmith 1.0b1.

Dr Teeth Hmmm, weird.

SevenHills There's SndSmith.Sys16, Intro.Music, SndSmith.Screen, DOC.Data,
Main, and Title.Screen But no "config"...

Dr Teeth Well all he sent was the "Main" along with the fill .95, so maybe
therein lies the rub....

SevenHills Remember, it _was_ alpha. "Main" is where all the changes are
taking place.

Dr Teeth True. Or maybe it was damaged in transit, and just 'happens' to
bomb out at the same place.

AFL JoyceM Dave (SevenHills), I really appreciate you coming by this evening.
I have to leave early, but both AFA Gene and AFC Eddie will be
able to help you and the rest of our guests. Again, thanks.

SevenHills Thanks, Joyce! Sorry I couldn't make it sooner!

AFL JoyceM Thanks all...and nite

Dr Teeth Any proposed release date, or are you also playing Apple Computer
on us :)

SevenHills I'd like to go, too...unless there are any other questions?
Release date: "When it's done!" ;)

We'll be watching for all your suggestions!

How To Start A Buzz As A Rap Musician Today

What used to be the best ways to get famous, or at least get some fame at all, in the Hip Hop game? Well, you had to send in your demo to record labels and hope for a contract. Meanwhile, you had to perform locally to generate a buzz as well. You could have went to the local radio station and hoped to get played if the DJ liked you. Luckily, today holds a completely different Hip Hop industry. Nowadays you can create an even bigger buzz using tactics that are ten times easier. This article will show you some great ways to build your buzz!

The number one thing you must do as a Hip Hop artist today is generate a buzz online. The number one place people listen to new music is the internet. There are thousands of internet radio stations hoping you send in your music for them to play. There are hundreds of sites that you can submit your music to for people to listen to. Getting yourself out in as many outlets as possible is the best way to generate a buzz. The internet is here to help you. It will get your music to millions of outlets, if you have talent and are willing to work for it.

Don't only focus online though. Building a local buzz is just as important. Once you build your local buzz by performing at concerts and opening for bigger acts (which may lead to more buzz!), you have to take it to the next level. What's the process to generate a buzz and make a name for yourself on the internet? There are maybe a hundred musicians locally and there are millions online, so you have to be able to stand out, even more than you do locally. Lucky for you, this article will show you a great way to market your music online. Social media is, and has been, the next big thing in the music industry, period!

The best sites to utilize for your music are Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. Get active on Youtube, instead of just posting all of your music and videos for people to view. Comment on other people's music and collaborate with anyone who you think could help bring you some new fans. Posting videos with links to free music downloads is a great idea every once in a while as well. Once you post them, you have to make sure to share them on Facebook and Twitter every time. Do whatever you can to get a huge following on Facebook and Twitter, including posting on many Hip Hop forums. You can find hundreds of Hip Hop forums to join and post to by just searching Google quickly.

Some of the newest faces in Hip Hop, like Hopsin, have generated almost all of their fans through the internet. If you want to be the next act to do so, you need to have good music and a willingness to market yourself. Since not everybody is meant to market, especially online, you could always hire an internet marketing agency to market for you, leaving you more time for your music. I'm sure there are plenty out there that will even give you discounts if they like your music. Good luck with the music career!

The 5 Most Frequent Mistakes People Make About Fitness

Many people approach fitness the same way, they jump in as hard as possible, diet hard, train hard, and get burnt out within a few weeks. Jumping in too fast can lead to exhaustion and boredom with health and fitness, leading to many people calling it quits. It even happens to people that have been doing it for years if they aren't careful. It doesn't just affect newcomers. Luckily, if you avoid the 5 mistakes outlined in this article, you probably won't have that happen to you!

1 - Not Planning Ahead

Planning is probably the most essential thing that anybody successful with health and fitness does. This means you need to plan your diet, plan your meals, plan your workout program, and set realistic goals in a reachable timeframe. Chances are, if you forget to plan any of these things, your results will suffer and you may end up quitting, simply because you don't know what you need to be following. Randomness is not always good, especially in the world of fitness!

2 - Excuses

Excuses are too common in our world today, and they are even more common in the fitness world. just because you have a little cough and no other symptoms does not mean you should put off your workout (unless you actually feel sick of course). Just because tonight is Friday and your buddies are all going out to the bar and they want you to come doesn't mean you can't workout. You can't afford to eat healthy. There is an excuse for everything, and none of them are worth the time it took to think them up. Stop making excuses if you want to be healthier and be physically fit. Nobody has made it to their goals by making excuses.

3 - Frequency Of Exercise

Do you think working out for 30 minutes a week is good? Well, some people do. Others think they have to be in the gym every day of the week for 2 hours or more. They are both wrong. You have to find the happy medium to see how much you need to workout. You want to workout enough to meet your goals within the foreseeable future and you don't want to overtrain and risk injury. Sticking to something like hitting the gym 3 or 4 times a week for about an hour each time is something good to go by. This schedule works for thousands of people every week!

4 - Magic Answers

Sorry, science has still yet to come up with a workout program, and a pill that performs magic for you. If you don't want to put in the hard work and effort, you aren't going to succeed. I hate to sound mean but it's the truth. Companies spend millions on advertisements hoping the consumers don't realize that magic doesn't exist.

5 - Comparisons

Comparing yourself to a fitness professional or somebody that has much more experience that you is setting yourself up for a downfall. If you want to succeed, you can't go around comparing your body to the next person. Your genetics are different than everybody, so you can't make comparisons that aren't fair. Instead of comparing yourself to someone else, why not compare yourself now to yourself a year ago. If that doesn't give you great motivation, then you are not working out right!

Now you know what you need to avoid doing if you want to succeed with your fitness lifestyle. If you just avoid these mistakes alone, you are on your way to succeeding with your goals, as long as they are within reach. Feel free to bookmark this article and come back to it anytime!

221B BAKER STREET

1. >THE UNHOLY MAN< The preacher was in fact a thief who had stolen the original manuscript of Hamlet from an exhibit on the Riviera, where he also acquired his tan. The preacher disguised the manuscript as a Bible and had Longworth authenticate it for the Duke, whom the preacher hoped would buy it. Longworth, however, in desperate need of money, killed the preacher with Hamlet's sword and stole the manuscript. Longworth, who does not smoke, planted the German-made cigarette near the victim's body to throw suspicion from himself; but in the process, he accidentally dropped his packet of aspirin. KILLER: EARL LONGWORTH WEAPON: SWORD MOTIVE: MANUSCRIPT 2. >SILVER PATCH< Sir Reginald Cosgrove, in dire need of money, concocted a plot to collect money from his large insurance policy on Silver Patch. Sir Reginald painted over the silver patch on the mane of his prize horse and painted a silver patch on the mane of Night Dancer, another of his horses. He then switched stalls and poisoned Night Dancer, who now looked like Silver Patch. Realizing that he would have to take Oscar Switt into his confidence, Sir Reginald arranged for his trainer to meet him at the stables. When Switt refused to go along with Sir Reginald's plan to kill Night Dancer, Sir Reginald became enraged and killed the trainer, smashing him over the head with an ale bottle, then stabbing him repeatedly with the broken bottle. KILLER: SIR REGINALD COSGROVE WEAPON: BROKEN BOTTLE MOTIVE: INSURANCE 3. >THE CHAMELEON'S VENGEANCE< Disguised as Inspector Lestrade, the chameleon planted explosives in the violin case which housed the instrument Holmes was to play in the duet finale at the Playhouse. SURPRISE: EXPLOSIVES HIDING PLACE: VIOLIN CASE CHAMELEON: LESTRADE 4. >THE CODED MESSAGE< Knowing death was near, Rudolph Hickle forced his canary to swallow the valuable Eyes of Lucifer. Hickle then attempted to notify his good friend, Harry Blake, by writing in a code the two had developed years ago. MESSAGE: PEARLS INSIDE CANARY. 5. >THE CLERK'S DEMISE Two years after being dishonorably discharged from the British military, Donald Hobson changed his name to Alfred Cooke and tried to start a new life. Neither his eventual employers at Scotland Yard nor his wife and children knew the truth of his past. Manfred Maloney stumbled onto Cooke and attempted to blackmail his old army buddy. To protect his secret, Cooke killed Maloney with an icicle and tried to make it appear to be the work of a radical political group. KILLER: ALFRED COOKE (DONALD HOBSON) WEAPON: ICICLE MOTIVE: BLACKMAIL 6. >THE REWRITTEN DEATH< Understudy, Vance Hillyard, planned to murder Roderick Garrick to obtain the star's role; but, owing to Hillyard's color blindness, the actor mistakenly killed Albert Boswell. KILLER: VANCE HILLYARD MOTIVE: STAR'S PART 7. >THE PILLAGED PAWNBROKER< While cleaning out her husband's attic, Mrs. Phyllis Cahill inadvertently included among the items sold to the pawnbroker a secreted Ming vase John Cahill had stolen from the museum. Cahill traced the priceless chinese objet d'art to the pawnbroker shop and broke in, placing the Ming vase in an armor helmet for protection and wrapping the treasure with newspaper and string. When Miles Balfour surprised the thief, Cahill killed the pawnbroker with a broadsword from the set of old English armor and, as an afterthought, robbed the cash till to throw suspicion from himself. KILLER: JOHN CAHILL WEAPON: BROADSWORD MOTIVE: MING VASE 8. >THE EMPTY-HANDED THIEF< Metal Pipes As was her custom periodically, Mrs. Beatrice Galton opened the wall safe in her husband's study to view the Renshaw Diamonds bequeathed by her late mother. When she attempted to return the gem tray, a stone fell to the floor and she whirled, stepping firmly, only to find the "diamond" crushed underfoot. Numbly, Beatrice smashed "jewel" after "jewel" with a letter opener from the desk. She suddenly realized the truth. Her husband had disposed of her diamonds, replaced the gems with glass replicas, and squandered the money. Beatrice confronted Galton as he entered the room with the latest packet of unpaid bills and, in a fury, she stabbed him.

Motivated by intense envy, Dr. Klopps utilized his considerable skills as a hypnotist to cause Sir Edmund to disgrace himself by appearing to shoplift clothes bearing the Eiger fashions logo. Holmes realized that Sir Edmund's doodles of a green eye in the Eiger revealed the solution to the case. Sir Edmund's subconscious mind associated Dr. Klopps with the one-eyed monster of myth, the cyclops. The green eye on the sketch suggested envy as a motive and hypnotism as the means of the crime. CRIMINAL: DR. SY KLOPPS MOTIVE: ENVY METHOD: HYPNOTISM 26. >THE RANDOM MURDERS< Bongs Whig precinct worker Sean Byron set a new low in unsportsmanlike conduct in a political campaign: he murdered supporters of the opposition party.

Although Sir Leroy did not instruct Byron to commit murder, he set the shocking events in motion by ordering his unbalanced aide to "do what it takes" to eliminate the Labour lead in the polls. Byron did as he was told.

MORIARTY'S AGENT: BILL BEACONFIELD METHOD: EXPLODING CANDLE INTENDED TIME OF MURDER: 9:30 PM 28. >THE DOCTOR'S LAST LAMENT< Dr. Van Nogh was a man with a guilty conscience. He served in the British Army during the South African Campaign; but when he was captured in battle he became a traitor and fought on the side of the Boers. Hence his cryptic remark that he had been a "bloody bore". His commanding officer, General Vernon Arnoux, always suspected Van Nogh's treason but could never prove it. Finally, he decided to take justice into his own hands and "execute" Van Nogh. When Arnoux confronted Van Nogh, he permitted the Doctor to write a suicide note. The general killed Van Nogh by injecting air into the man's arm with a hypodermic needle.

After the game, Kenilworth jumped the Colonel and injected him with a large dose of strychnine, causing near-instantaneous death. Kenilworth then dragged Marlow's body to the dock and threw it into the river. MURDERER: ARNOLD KENILWORTH MOTIVE: REVENGE CAUSE OF DEATH: THE DRUG, STRYCHNINE WHERE: PARK 30. >THE MURDERED STOCKBROKER< Barry Coopersfield, worried about the competition from Henry Lancelot's company, devised a devious plan to gain extra money for himself. He convinced Bailey that they should buy an insurance policy in case either of them died, with the surviving partner getting the insurance money. After the policy was taken out, Coopersfield took his souvenir western "six-gun" revolver, followed Bailey after work, and shot him outside the tobacconist. Coopersfield then went to the Wild West Show at the Playhouse. Posing as a stagehand, he snuck into the prop room and put his revolver in a prop bin containing other revolvers from the show.

YOU HAVE SOLVED -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ========================================================================== ZORK III BY INFOCOM ========================================================================== WELL, YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE YOU FIRST STOOD BY THE MAILBOX OUTSIDE THE HOUSE IN THE FOREST. YOU'VE DEFEATED THE THIEF, OUTWITTED THE WIZARD OF FROBOZZ, AND NOW, YOU STAND AT THE FOOT OF THE ENDLESS STAIRS, READY TO EMBARK ON THE FINAL PART OF YOUR JOURNEY. SO, PICK UP THE LAMP, TURN IT ON, AND HEAD ALONG DUE S UNTIL YOU COME TO THE SHORE OF THE LAKE. DROP THE LAMP , AND JUMP INTO THE LAKE. BRRRR! PRETTY COLD! SO, DON'T STAY IN THERE LONG; SWIM W AND THEN GO S . GET THE TORCH, AND WAIT FOR THE NUMBER TO CHANGE TO "II." THEN, TOUCH THE TABLE. MY OH MY! YOU'RE IN A ROOM FROM ZORK II... ROOM 8, AS A MATTER OF FACT. HOWEVER, YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO SIGHT-SEE, SO GET THE CAN OF GRUE REPELLANT, THEN TRY MOVING E, AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF BACK IN SCENIC VISTA AGAIN. NOW WAIT FOR THE NUMBER TO CHANGE TO "III," THEN TOUCH THE TABLE AGAIN. THIS TIME, YOU'RE IN A DAMP PASSAGE. DROP THE TORCH, AND JUST WAIT THERE UNTIL YOU'RE PULLED BACK TO SCENIC VISTA. OKAY, YOU'RE FINISHED HERE, SO MOVE ALONG N TO THE SHORE, AND AGAIN JUMP IN THE LAKE. SPLASH! IT HASN'T GOTTEN ANY WARMER; IN FACT, YOU JUST DROPPED THE CAN OF REPELLANT. SO, GO DOWN, AND YOU WILL BE ON THE LAKE BOTTOM. AH, THERE IT IS! BUT, COULD THERE BE SOMETHING ELSE THERE, TOO? "GET ALL," AND YOU WILL HAVE NOT ONLY THE REPELLANT BUT ALSO AN AMULET. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE "WONDERFUL" VARIABLE THINGS; IT MAY TAKE MORE THAN ONE TRY ON YOUR PART TO GET BOTH ITEMS. IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN'T STAY IN THE ICY WATERS TOO LONG, AND SOONER OR LATER A HUNGRY FISH WILL COME LOOKING FOR YOU. THEREFORE, IT'S BEST TO SAVE THE GAME BEFORE YOU JUMP IN FROM THE WERN SHORE. SO IF YOU DIE IN THE WATER, OR GET EATEN BY THE FISH, OR PICKED UP BY THE ROC , YOU DON'T HAVE TO START ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE BEGINNING. BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE ZORKS WHERE YOU DON'T LOSE POINTS IF YOU DIE. BUT, ALL THE ITEMS YOU'VE COLLECTED SO FAR GET SCATTERED ALL AROUND, AND IT'S TIME-CONSUMING TO GO LOOK FOR THEM. OKAY, NOW YOU HAVE THE CAN AND THE AMULET, SO HEAD UP TO THE SURFACE, THEN S TO THE SERN SHORE. YOU CAN SEE A CAVE TO THE S, AND IT LOOKS KIND OF DARK. IN FACT, IT *IS* DARK IN THERE, WHICH IS WHY YOU HAVE THE REPELLANT. SO, SPRAY THE SMELLY STUFF ON YOURSELF, AND GO S, AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF IN A DARK PLACE. GO S AGAIN, THEN E, AND YOU WILL BE IN THE KEY ROOM. WHEW! AT LE THERE'S"SOME LIGHT IN HERE! AND BY THE LIGHT YOU CAN SEE A STRANGE KEY. lGED THE KEY, THEN MOVE THE MANHOLE COVER AND GO DOWN. HERE YOU ARE ON AN AQUEDUCT. SINCE YOU CAN'T GO BACK , YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO FORWARD. SO, JUST HEAD ALONG N AND YOU WILL COME TO THE WATER SLIDE. GO N DOWN THE SLIDE, AND GUESS WHERE YOU ARE? IN THE DAMP PASSAGE! THERE'S THE TORCH, SO PICK IT UP, BECAUSE YOU'RE CERTAINLY GOING TO NEED A LIGHT SOURCE...ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU THINK OF WHERE YOU'RE GOING NEXT. SO, FROM THE DAMP PASSAGE HIKE ALONG W TO THE JUNCTION , THEN S INTO CREEPY CRAWL, AND SW INTO THE SHADOW LAND. HERE WE COME TO ANOTHER VARIABLE PORTION OF THE GAME. YOU WILL HAVE TO WANDER AROUND IN THE SHADOW LAND UNTIL A CLOAKED AND HOODED FIGURE APPEARS. WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE SWORD WILL SUDDENLY MATERIALIZE IN YOUR HAND, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIGHT. HOWEVER, SINCE THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN, YOU JUST HAVE TO KEEP MOVING AROUND UNTIL IT DOES. AT LE YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO PRACTICE SOME ELEMENTARY MAP-MAKING! ALSO, THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE GAME, AS THE FIGURE IS QUITE CAPABLE OF KILLING YOU, TOO! SO, BEST TO SAVE BEFORE YOU ENTER SHADOW LAND. WHEN THE MYSTERIOUS FIGURE FINALLY APPEARS, ATTACK HIM WITH YOUR SWORD UNTIL HE IS BADLY WOUNDED AND CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF. AT THAT POINT, GET HIS HOOD. THE FIGURE WILL THEN DISAPPEAR, LEAVING THE CLOAK BEHIND. GET THAT ALSO. NOW, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE, AND I CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW, SINCE THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING EXACTLY WHERE YOU WERE WHEN THE FIGHT STARTED. HOWEVER, IF YOU GO EWARDS, YOU WILL EXIT THE SHADOW LAND AT EITHER THE CREEPY CRAWL OR THE FOGGY ROOM. FROM EITHER PLACE, GO N TO THE JUNCTION. FROM THE JUNCTION, IT'S W THROUGH THE BARREN AREA, AND W AGAIN . YOU JUST CAN'T WAIT TO CLIMB DOWN THE ROPE, HUH? WELL, PICK UP THE BREAD FIRST, THEN GO DOWN TO THE LEDGE. WELL, WELL, A CHEST! TOO BAD YOU DON'T HAVE A KEY TO OPEN IT. IN FACT, THERE'S NO WAY FOR YOU TO OPEN IT AT ALL. BUT DON'T DESPAIR, THERE'S A WAY OF DOING IT. JUST WAIT AROUND AND SOMEONE WILL COME ALONG THE TOP OF THE CLIFF. YOU MAY NOT REALLY TRUST HIM, BUT TIE THE ROPE TO THE CHEST WHEN HE ASKS, AND WAIT AROUND SOME MORE. EVENTUALLY, HE WILL RETURN AND HELP YOU BACK UP THE CLIFF. HE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU A STAFF, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE REALLY AFTER HERE. TAKE THE STAFF, THEN GO BACK DOWN TO THE LEDGE, AND FROM THERE, TO THE CLIFF BASE. TREK S TO THE FLATHEAD OCEAN, AND DO A LITTLE MORE WAITING. SOONER OR LATER A SHIP WIL OKAY, NOW W, W, W, N, N, N, E, E, AND PUSH THE S WALL TWO TIMES. 08. FROM THERE, W, S, S, E, E, N AND PUSH THE W WALL TWO TIMES. 09 . NOW, S, W, AND PUSH THE N WALL UNTIL IT WON'T MOVE ANY MORE. 10. THEN W AND N. FINALLY! YOU HAVE MANEUVERED THE LADDER UNDER THE HOLE , AND NOW YOU CAN JUST GO UP AND OUT! WHEW! OKAY, YOU'VE SOLVED THE ROYAL PUZZLE AND YOU HAVE THE BOOK, SO GO N TO THE MUSEUM ENTRANCE, THEN OPEN THE E DOOR AND GET YOUR OTHER STUFF FROM THE JEWEL ROOM. THEN IT'S BACK W TO THE GREAT DOOR, AND FROM THERE BACK TO THE JUNCTION. NOW, E INTO THE DAMP PASSAGE, AND NE TO THE ENGRAVINGS ROAM. WELL, WE HAVE HERE YET ANOTHER OF THOSE VARIABLE EVENTS: SOONER OR LATER, AN OLD MAN WILL BE SLEEPING HERE. IF HE ISN'T THERE THE FIRST TIME YOU ARRIVE, WALK AROUND A LITTLE AND RETURN. WHEN YOU FINALLY DO SEE HIM, WAKE HIM UP AND GIVE HIM THE BREAD. HE WILL EAT IT AND THEN MAKE VISIBLE TO YOU A SECRET DOOR. HE WILL THEN VANISH. OKAY, YOU'RE GETTING CLOSER TO THE END! OPEN THE DOOR, AND GO INTO THE BUTTON ROOM, THEN N TO THE BEAM ROOM. PUT THE SWORD IN THE BEAM, THEN GO BACK TO THE BUTTON ROOM AND PUSH THE BUTTON. NOW, BACK N TO THE BEAM ROOM AND N AGAIN INTO THE MIRROR ROOM. THERE WILL BE AN OPENING IN THE MIRROR, SO GO N ONE MORE TIME, AND YOU WILL BE INSIDE. NOW, DON'T LET THE LONG AND COMPLICATED DESCRIPTIONS SCARE YOU! IT'S NOT REALLY AS BAD AS YOU THINK . FIRST, RAISE THE SHORT POLE. THEN, PUSH THE WHITE PANEL TWICE. NOW, PUSH THE PINE PANEL, AND GO N. OKAY, SO HERE YOU ARE, STANDING A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT TO THE GUARDIANS OF ZORK. IF I WERE YOU, I WOULDN'T TRY GOING PAST THEM QUITE YET! OPEN THE VIAL, THEN DRINK THE LIQUID. WHILE NOTHING SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED, YOU HAVE IN FACT BECOME INVISIBLE. NOW YOU CAN WALK N UNTIL YOU COME TO THE LOCKED DOOR. KNOCK ON THE DOOR, AND THE DUNGEON MASTER WILL OPEN IT AND LET YOU IN. ALL RIGHT, HANG IN THERE, YOU HAVE REACHED THE END GAME! GO N, THEN W, THEN N AGAIN. THE DM WILL BE FOLLOWING YOU. GO N TO THE PARAPET, SET THE DIAL TO 4, AND PUSH THE BUTTON. NOW, GO S, OPEN THE CELL DOOR, AND STEP INSIDE. THE DM WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU IN. ONCE INSIDE, YOU WILL NOTICE A BRONZE DOOR IN ONE OF THE WALLS. HOWEVER, YOU CAN'T OPEN IT YET! SOMETHING ELSE HAS TO BE DONE, AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BY SOMEONE ELSE. SO, FIRST TELL THE DM TO GO TO THE PARAPET. THEN TELL HIM TO TURN THE DIAL TO 1, AND THEN TELL HIM TO PUSH THE BUTTON. ALL RIGHT!! THE MAGIC MOMENT HAS ARRIVED! UNLOCK THE BRONZE DOOR WITH THE KEY, OPEN THE DOOR, AND GO S! ** TA DA!! ** FINALLY, ZORK IS FINISHED! YOU HAVE SURVIVED ALL THE PERILS, PITFALLS, AND PUZZLES, AND NOW, *YOU* ARE THE NEW DUNGEON MASTER.
