    ........................................privat.schlund.de/hugi updated!

    the  "old"  official  hugi-homepage  was  redesigned  and  the  content
    updated.  now  there is both a german  and  an english version. you can
    vote  online, all download-mirrors of hugi #11 are listed, the graphics
    were  reduced, but look better at the  same time, and some details were
    changed.     moreover,     the    page     can    be    accessed    via
    http://home.pages.de/~hugidownload/ now. beforehand, there was sengir's
    download-page,   which   was  given  up   due   to  problems  with  the
    baynet-server. just take a look at the new page!

    .................................................hugi #11 on dreams #2!

    hugi  #11 is on the dreams #2 scene-double-cd ("containing all the very
    best  from  the  scene  from june  1996  until  july  1998"), which was
    released by imphobia a week ago at the wired 98. more information about
    this    really    excellent    cd-collection    can    be    found   at
    ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/demos/incoming/info/dreams2.zip.   furthermore,
    hugi  #11 will probably find its way to the ace #5 collection, which is
    scheduled for fall.

    ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/demos/incoming/info/dreams2.zip



    ...................................new, official ftp-distribution-site!

    hugi  is the first and currently only diskmag with its own subdirectory
    on  the  server  ftp://amber.bti.pl. this makes  it  possible for us to
    upload   files   (hugi-issues,  info-files,   add-ons)   without  being
    restricted by the mood of the archive maintainer. we also hope to get a
    stronger connection with the very active polish scene this way.

    .....................................scream! is official votecollector!

    the  group  scream!  has  become  the  official  hugi-votecollector for
    poland. scream! is a recently founded group, which consists of swappers
    only.  it spreads productions of certain groups and diskmags, swaps and
    collects votesheets.

    at the moment scream! is distro of those groups:

    Byteland,  Core,  Dragon, Fortress,  Grinders,  Logrus, Mosaic, Prism!,
    Procreation, Swirl, Total Disaster

    and those mags:

    Budyn, Dragon, Fatum, Measure, Pyjama, Tankard, Shine, Syntax Error

    all in all a promising and useful group!



    .........................................................new interface!

    the  next  hugi-issue will have a new  interface.  there will be both a
    dos-  and  a win32-version. if you  want  to use the win32-version, you
    need  to have direct x 3.0 or later. if you use windows 98, you already
    have direct x installed; windows-95-users can download this driver for
    free on http://www.microsoft.com/directx/.

    the  dos-version is for users  of older or win32-incompatible operating
    systems  like  dos or linux  (dosemu).  the win32-version was necessary
    because future microsoft-os's won't support dos any more.

    the  interface  is  coded by street  raider,  who's also programmed the
    interface  of the russian diskmag _hacker_. i want to thank him for his
    effort  and the time-consuming work,  which originated from my steadily
    growing to-do-list. spasibo, street raider!!

    ...........................hugi size coding competition #3 has started!

    since  the  13th of july, the  3rd size-coding-competition is going on.
    this  time  you  have to code  the  smallest  pong-clone. at first some
    people said that was an easy task. in the meantime it proved to require
    very  diligent  and careful working because  of  the complex and strict
    rules.  because of the many invalid  entries, i loosened the rules some
    days after the start of the compo to give the competitors more freedom.
    moreover,  a  checklist was included,  which  allows the competitors to
    check their entries themselves easily before submitting.

    since  the  start  of the compo-series  (mid  of april) there have been
    10314  hits  to the compo-homepage till  now. the world league table is
    growing.  about 100 persons have subscribed to the mailinglist. because
    of  the  good  knowledge  of  the  involved  people,  an  exciting  and
    interesting  discussion is going on.  i recommend all interested people
    to  subscribe to this list! it's easy; you  just have to send a mail to
    hugi-compo-subscribe@makelist.com.  then you'll get an invitation-mail,
    which you just have to reply, and then you're subscribed. unsubscribing
    is as easy: hugi-compo-unsubscribe@makelist.com.

    ...................................................hugi #12 in progress

    hugi  #12  is  under  development. nearly  a  month  after the hugi #11
    release,  200  kbytes of articles have come  in so far; that's okay for
    this  range  of  time.  among the  articles,  there  is  an interesting
    coding-text  about  image compression,  another about text compression,
    moreover,  interviews  with  the winner  of  hugi-compo  #2 and another
    interviews   with   the  main  editor   of   the  c64-diskmag  _nitro_,
    sentinel/excess. poetry isn't missing, either. we also have magreviews,
    musicdiskreviews  and articles about the scene in general. new articles
    are  submitted all the time, so that  i count with a multiple number of
    the current text amount.

    a  new  votesheet was prepared for  hugi #12 and spread diligently. the
    number  of  sections was strongly reduced  so that the filling-in won't
    become  work.  there are also three  sections where the voter can place
    his messages, adverts, and - most of all - news.

    up to today, 38 votesheets have been returned.

    the music and the sound-fx for hugi #12 are already finished. they come
    from  makke  / comic pirates. the  music  is a relieving diskmag-tune -
    take a picture of it yourself later.

    the background- and closing-gfx are in progress.

    a  title  picture is still missing.  so,  if you are interested, submit
    your drafts!

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    hugi  #12  is  planned to be  released  in september. till then there's
    still  a  lot  of  time which we can  use  to  create a good issue. i'm
    looking forward to your articles! :)
