| I'll put this here to save on note space.
I downloaded the following from Compuserve a few weeks ago. If they
are already on the net just ignore this. I will send them to
Norse""::Amiga:[Upload]
LoadIFF.arc A IFF.Library written and released into the Public
domain by Christian A. Weber this is version 16.1
If you need instant IFF routines for C or Basic
download this. So far it works well with HiSoft Basic
but I get an exception if the Intuition.library is
opened and you do the OpenIff() and NewOpenIFF(). I do
not know if AmigaBASIC suffers the same.
Imagee.ZOO Another Icon editor that also outputs Bob's and
Sprite's in Assem, C, and AmigaBASIC file formats.
I havent done more than unpackit to see if it runs
Looks useful. This is Shareware from Australia.
Now I Downloaded this using Compuserve B protocol onto my Rainbow and
then Uploaded it to the VAX using Poly Com at the office. So if their
is a problem let me know and I will UUencode it on my Amiga and
re-upload it that way.

| I just uploaded BattleForce05.zoo to WJG::AMIGA and to NORSE::AMIGA:[UPLOAD].
It's a battle/strategy game based on the BattleMech Role-Playing game. I think
it's quite excellent.
Basically, you are in control of a BattleMech... a huge mechanized tank/robot.
Your Mech can have cannons, lasers, rockets, etc. You're placed on a map
divided into hexagonal grids, and you have to battle it out with the other
team's BattleMechc(s). You can play against an opponent or against the
computer. The interface is quite professionally done.
The game was written by Ralph Reed, a local down here. The zoo file I uploaded
is, I'm told, a freely distributable demo version. If you send Ralph the
Shareware fee, he'll send you the full-blown version and updates as they come
out. I haven't got the full-blown version yet, (I'm going to, though) but
I'm told that it's a full-blown role-playing game. You start by building your
Mech in a factory, and you gain skill and money as you win battles. You get
sent on combat missions by the ruling powers, and you can choose to fight for
honor and money in the Arena.
The file's quite large (400 blocks), but worth downloading. If you want more
BattleForce information or wish to talk with Ralph Reed himself, you can
contact him at the Hobbit Hole BBS: (904) 243-6219. 300+ meg of Amiga-only
BBS fodder, with an entire section dedicated to BattleForce. The game seems to
have quite a following.
Enjoy,
John
P.S. I tried to send mail to IGETIT::EllisM, but the node was down.
