WOW! HERE IT IS AT LAST. NEW SUPERB EASY TO USE MENU PROGRAM FROM FOF. THIS IS JINX ON KEYBOARD AFTER A LONG PAUSE. I WAS ON SOME VACATION AND AFTER THAT STARTED TO CODE THIS NEW MENU PROGRAM. THIS IS WHY ALL THE PACKING ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WANDERER'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR COUPLE OF MONTHS. TO CODE A MENU PROGRAM LIKE THIS TAKES SO MUCH TIME THAT WE WILL BE USING THIS FOR SOME TIME TO COME. WE WERE THE FIRST CREW WHO DARED TO CHANGE THE OLD WAS NOT WAS + LSD STYLE MENU FORMAT. AFTER THAT OTHERS HAVE FOLLOWED OUR EXAMPLE. AND ONCE AGAIN WE ARE THE FIRST CREW TO USE MOUSE IN A MENU PROGRAM. AFTER ALL WHY SHOULD WE DESCEND TO THE IBM PC LEVEL AND USE KEYBOARD WHEN ATARI GAVE US MOUSE TO USE. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS IS   F O F  M E N U  1   SO WE ARE NOW DOING OUR OWN MENUS. WE LEFT FOFT BECAUSE FOFT WAS ONLY FOF + T. THAT IS WE HAVE DONE OVER 40 FOFT MENUS FROM THE TOTAL OF 49 - SO WE WERE THE ONLY CREW WHO DID SOMETHING IN FOFT. SECONDLY WE DIDN'T LIKE 'WE ARE THE BEST' ATTITUDE OF OUR ENGLISH FRIENDS (A HINT FOR YOU TOO AUTOMATION). WE DO PACKS AS GOOD AS WE CAN AND THAT IS IT. OKAY. WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT FOFT MENUS DONE BY US DO NOT WORK ON ST@ BECAUSE OF THE NEW TOS. ALL NEW MENUS INCLUDING THIS WILL WORK ON ST@ COMPUTERS AND I AM FIXING THE OLD ONES EVERY NOW AND THEN. BUT NOW A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PROGRAMS ON THIS MENU: BOTH GAMES WERE ORIGINALLY PACKED USING JEK EQUIVALENT PACKER. SO I UNPACKED THEM AND PACKED AGAIN WITH AUTOMATION PACKER 2.31 TO MAKE THEM CRUNCH EVEN MORE. BOTH GAMES WERE FAST LOADER TYPE ON TWO DISKS AND NOW THEY ARE IN FILES, FULLY PACKED AND STILL WORK ON HALF MEG MACHINES! SO AUTOMATION YOU SAID ON CD 219 THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY CREW WHO CAN DO THIS AND OTHERS ARE SHIT. WELL HERE IS COUPLE OF EXAMPLES TO PROVE THAT YOU SHOULD SHUT UP AND THINK WHAT YOU SAY. HOW COME ARE YOUR FDC ROUTINES SO SLOW? IT TAKES AGES TO WAIT A GAME TO LOAD. AND IF THIS ISN'T ENOUGH DEMON'S WINTER ON YOUR CD WAS OUR CRACK - YOU JUST CHANGED THE TEXTS. COME ON AUTOMATION - DO YOU REALLY THINK EVERYONE BELIEVES THAT YOU CRACK EVERY GAME YOU PACK. NAAH! DON'T YOU THINK THAT YOU SHOULD GIVE CREDITS FOR THE CRACKS TO THE PEOPLE THEY BELONG TO. I REMIND YOU THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE DONE FROM THE START. THINK ABOUT IT. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF WE GOT ALL HONOUR BY STEALING YOUR CRACKS. IF YOU CONTINUE SLAGGING EVERYONE ALL THE TIME YOU WILL SOON NOTICE THAT YOU ARE NOT VERY POPULAR ANYMORE - SO BE CAREFUL ON WHAT YOU SAY.           OKAY BACK TO BUSINESS. TRY PRESSING '<<' AND '>>' BUTTONS. NICE FEATURE DON'T YOU THINK? TO LOAD A GAME JUST MOVE THE CURSOR WITH MOUSE AND PRESS BUTTON NEXT TO THE GAME YOU WANT TO PLAY. EASY, EH? BUT NOW FOF GREETINGS.
