Email Legend at legend@fl.net.au or
Anubis at force@ctel.com.au regarding
any fORCE related matters.
AHUH, that is right, fORCE is coming at
you with another beyond cool art pack!
Last month, I assured everyone that the pack would be late
as usual And I
havnt let you down. Due to some social commitments and bugs
in forceview/2.
The pack was late due to frantic coding. Now this leaves
me to move on to
the usual crap. Last month I spoke about differentiation and
calculus. This
month I will continue the calculus flavour. However the oppo
site will occur
I will now speak about intergration, which as you might know
is the opposite
to differensiation. This pack 12, so its now time to intergr
ate 12.
fx 12 indefinitly intergrating we get - Fx 12x
+ C w00000p!

Moving onto scene news, It has been a pretty interesting mon
th in the world
scene. ACiD have turned fifty. We here at
fORCE would like to wish ACiD a
happy aniversary and may there be many more. We all hope tha
t acid continues
so they can celebrate their 100th aniversary. On the same
note, DARK has
turned 25. Again the same greets, wishes and accolaides go
out to DARK and
its members.
Its been a fairly monumental month at fORCE. Thi
s pack introduces the new
forceview, which has been named forceview/2.
It is definatly one of, if
not THE best art scene viewer in the world. Ill
talk more about forceview/2
later on in this news letter.

f o r c e v i e w / 2
This month marks the release of forceview/2, forc
es very own art viewer! It
has all the features of the other art viewers and more. It b
osts such things
as the most accurate ansi to vga viewing, protected mode co
de which means
that the size of ansi/file you can load is only limited to
the amout of RAM
you have. forceview/2 also bosts RIP, BIN, XBIN,
TD and ADF support just to
mention a few. forceview/2 is the only art view
er to offer 89 standard VGA
textmodes. That means you can view ansis in 40x12 upto 90x80
which is great
BINs. No other art viewer comes even close to 89 textmodde
s. Added to this
full configurability! YOU can configure which
textmodes you wish to use,
which great GUI frontend to use, personalise colour scheme
s, screen savers
you name it, you can configure it. forceview/2
is the ultimate art scene
art scene viewer, end of story.
If you would like a certain feature to be added to f
orceview/2 please mail
either Legend at legend@fl.net.au or Go
blin at s2190983@cse.unsw.EDU.AU.
Some interest has been shown in native OS/2, Win95 and Linux
support, please
mail us if you are interested in either of these.

Recently a file called cpriptsk.zip has been going around,
it contained a
file filled with ansi and some text.
It seems that chaotic prisoner has bee
n caught for ripping. Whether he did
or not is not a issue here, casue we at fORCE ha
te rippers as much as the
next guy/girl . We where unaware of the alledged ripping
and would like
it to be know that fORCE DOES NOT CONDONE this ty
pe of behaviour !
Lastly, as a part of brood of hatred diskmag,
or as s5 would say broom
of hatred Id like to say that, I thought that we did a fa
irly decent job.
Next time please dont go defaming the work of respected sc
ene members like
diezynik,fonebone eerie
for simply being associated with chaotic prison
er
in this production. Calling our work crap. I personally w
arned him not to
flame unsane but he did not listen. He has
now payed the price. In
the future please do not bring myself or any of the above p
eople into your
witch hunts. Finishing off, Id like to say that Ive ne
ver had a scene
argument and I never will. I have never had any problems wi
th unsane and he
seems to me to be a fairly normal guy who happens to be a v
ery good artist.
In my experience if you dont like attitudes and the stuff
that happens in
ansi its usually all a big joke, just dont join it. Alr
eady I think I
have said too much. This isnt my problem. However, I thoug
ht that since he
was an ex-member of fORCE, we atleast needed to m
ake an official statment

fORCE how have a new HQ in the middle east. Yes,
there actually is a scene
there so we are very happy to have an outpost there in th
e form of the
electric cube. This board will soon also be carrying
ForceNet which will
mean that you to can talk to fORCE Members throug
h Forcenet.
f o r c e n e t
ForceNet seems to be growing at a rapid pace. As
I said before, we now have
a Middle Eastern bahrain HQ and we have also picked up tw
o new boards in
the US. With ForceNet now in North America, Austr
alia and the Middle East,
it should be easier and cheaper for boards to join in.
The new ForceNet
info pack will be in this months force pack.

The fORCE www page is currently being re-written
Check it out sometime next
month to see the new cool changes. The old page will still
be in place for
the time being.
