New Programs by Nano Soft and programs coming soon from Nano Soft

NEODEMO                  Nano Soft started with a false start as 
                         Andrew Software.  Andrew Software Programs
                         weren't released, but most of these programs
                         were Andrew Software Programs.  Along with 
                         these programs were 2 demos.  They were ok.
                         This ROCKS!  This HUGE demo will support
                         sound cards and VGA graphics!  3D images and
                         other things will make up this demo, coming
                         soon!!
                                                    Freeware

Space Conquest(space)    Yes!  It's Nano Soft's new shoot em up!  Fly in
                         your FSS-100 Kelvin Interceptor and blow away them
                         bad guys!  This program is TOTALLY against
                         QuickBASIC's reputation!  You know, it has
                         a bad rep, like "flicker" graphics, it's "slow",
                         it's "weak".  Oh yeah?  Watch this!  It's fast
                         enough to have stars fly in the background,
                         Adlib Sound, FLICKER FREE shooting, and more!
                         Great Graphics, too!  Get it now!  Actually,
                         it more like a simulator with a shoot em up
                         feel!   First, a demo will be released.
                         Then, the real version will be released after
                         all ships are created.  Then additional enemies
                         and a new version is given on registration.

                        don't give it a directory.

Description of terms                              
        
        At the end of each program description you saw a word that
either said "ShareWare", "FreeWare", or "Public Domain".  Well, if you don't
know what these are, then here's a quick overview.

                Public Domain-You can do whatever you want with it
                              but copyright it.  Most Nano Soft
                              programs that are Public Domain
                              depend on another program to work(not original)

                FreeWare-Free, but the author owns the copyright
                               (the minute you make a program, you own
                               the copyright)

                ShareWare-Try first, pay later.  Usually cheaper then
                          commercial software, shareware programs
                          want a registration fee.  All Nano Soft
                          ShareWare productions come with registration
                          incentives, like for instance VGA pong comes with
                          more backrounds, etc...

                Commercial-No Nano Soft Stuff is commercial(yet, hehe)
                           but commercial means that you buy it at a store
                           (usually) and you can't copy it and give it to
                           other people.  Usually more expensive then
                           ShareWare because of packaging etc.

                Pirate-Hey, not me!  Some software is pirated though, so
                       if you think you have a pirate program that you've
                       downloaded, tell your sysop.  A couple pirate programs
                       I've seen on BBS's are:
                                StormLord
                                Paper Boy 2
                                MegaMan
                       Download the hack report from a BBS for more listings.


                By donation whining I mean that it's freeware, but
                I whine for donations!

                              the Sound Barrier BBS or any
                              music oriented BBS and get em!
                              
Future Crew Demos             Lots of cool demos!(but most don't work on
                              my measly 286-it's a hand-me-down, ok!)


Question:  Does anybody out there have a ModPlaying library or Object file
that supports QuickBASIC?  I'm not sure about ModObj(Mark Cox) but I haven't
seen it anywhere!  Where are you?

I really need a MOD library for BASIC so my demos won't be QUITE so QUIET!

End of Products list...

Note:  If your program is on here and you don't want it to be,
then write me, my address is below.  I will remove it if you
want me to.  If having your program listed on here makes you mad,
then I apoligize, I will remove it.

Note: If you think that my NEWSTUFF file is so cool that you
would advertise your program here, then send me a copy of your
program and a 1 page at the most ASCII advertisement and I'll show
it for free!(unless I don't wanna sponsor your software)

Awesome cheats for games!

This new section has game cheats for selected commercial/shareware/pd games!
There are few here so far, but send in yours!

CRIME WAVE-Access Software(commercial)
        To get TONS of lives, save the game as an extra life falls on you.
Nab the life, then save the game.  RESUME and the life will fall again!
Repeat this winning combo for some heavy duty limb ripping!  By the way,
I bought this game at Circus World and it's FRESH!  Only 11 bucks and it
has digitized sound and full motion video under 2.8 megabytes!  It's great!

FGODMOM-Shareware
        To get TONS of lives, wait till the extra life is on the screen
(at the end of each level).  Scan a bunch of objects and put them near the
exit.  Then scan the wand a RUN like hell, turning all of those previous
objects you copied into wands.  Get them, but run!  Get to the exit and
repeat this for great scoring!

STREET FIGHTER 2-US Gold/Capcom(commercial)
        This great combo attack is unstoppable once the first hit is made!
Pick Guile and jab your enemy.  Then, press towards the enemy and punch
at the same time up to four times to create a smashing uppercut.  Do this
over and over till your enemy's dizzy!  Then suplex him for the perfect
score!  Also, Guile can dizzy some enemies by throwing them(towards, punch)
and then suplexing them(towards, up-punch).  If they are dizzy, then finish
them with a spinning backfist(punch) and a quick roundhouse(up-kick).  
These tips refer to diffuculty level 4.

My Disclaimer:  
        
        All Nano Soft Productions are created under QuickBASIC 4.5        
        which is very user friendly.  If you have a CGA card and
        try to run one of my VGA programs, it won't blow up
        your computer.  It will say, "Hey, man!  You don't have VGA"
        or something more computerish.  But, 
        I still distribute these programs under no warranty.
        I hereby disclaim myself from any possible damages resulting
        from the use of my software(It is very unlikely, QuickBASIC
        simply gives you error messages if something happens).
        Use Nano Soft Productions Software at your own risk.
        If any boodyhead distributes a trojan or infected program in my
        name, please notify me immediately.  I don't write trojans
        or virii, but some buttmuffin might.
        
        Also, I would like to mention that all programs by Nano Soft
        (except GIFVIEW) are copyrighted.  Do not modify these programs-or
        the documents the include in ANY way.  That is illegal!  Also,  the
        same applies for this NEWSTUFF file.  Never, never, distribute an
        Nano Soft REGISTERED program, also!
        
        Thank you for enduring the legalties.

                         worry!(Address valid until summer 94, not sure
                         yet)

What is Nano Soft?
     
I try to write the best programs that any 13 year old could
write, then get on my friend's computer and let them go into
the wild modem wilderness(maybe I'll get a Modem?).  Soon more people
will be working for the Nano Soft payroll(registration percentages),
so the programs will be awesome!  My graphics designer will debut
with Nano Soft's Demo, coming soon...
Look for Nano Soft Stuff on BBS's and maybe America On-Line
(the coolest modem place der iz!)

Hey, people!  Need a BASIC graphics and games programmer?
I can also play music and write some.




Nano Soft has conquered Adlib Sound!  Once I get a Sound Blaster,
(donations, please!)  I will learn that, also.  Right now I can
program the Adlib and Covox SMII/VM/Speech Thing.

The first Nano Soft Program with AdLib-Sound is VGAPONG, registered
version, so register today!
