snicklin Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi everyone, Whilst looking for something else, I came across 4 issues of a booklet/magazine called "The Atari 8-Bit News-Paper" from Dean Garraghty. I was wondering if anyone else has scanned them? If not, I'll scan them and make them available. I believe that if memory serves me right, Dean came onto here and declared all his material Public Domain. Can anyone confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foft Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Dean also includes scans in this: http://home.clara.net/dgs/pack.htm Also the disk editions. Edited February 21, 2016 by foft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Dean also includes scans in this: http://home.clara.net/dgs/pack.htm Also the disk editions. Now that I see that this site is still up, I am not really wanting to upload any scans of his newsletters as I do not want to break copyright. But I'm sure I saw him say that he relinquished his copyright on the products, but I'm not sure where he did this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) More of an issue, he says he will send you them, not many ISP allow 53MB emails on a standard account.. Ignore re-read it, says it comes via a secure file transfer service.. Edited February 21, 2016 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 the physical magazines were not included in the zip file i purchased...so perhaps you are ok to upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 yes upload them they are not in the zip and he did release... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Well, I've seen a telephone number in his magazine and so I've given it a ring to see if he still lives there and there was no answer but the number exists and went to an answerphone. I've left a message for Dean and given my number and asked for a call back. I'd rather seek permission before just uploading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Wow, I got a very quick reply! Thank you Foft, Dean clarified that he's still selling them as scanned in documents in a collection that he has available. Therefore I'll halt this now, I'll respect the copyright. I could have sworn he'd done a release... must be someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGS-Atari Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I really should have signed up for this forum before, it would have been easier! Yeah, the magazines are still in copyright and are still available as PDF scans and are included in the ZIP file software pack that I still sell. The original printing plates for the mags were just paper pasted on board and most were missing, as were the original files for the articles. I ended up having to scan from actual copies of the mags. The pack (also including most of the software that I have the rights to) is available for US$7 (sent electronically via WeTransfer) from: http://www.dgs.clara.net/(payments by card via PayPal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I really should have signed up for this forum before, it would have been easier! Nice to see you Dean! I doubt you remember transferring the source code for The Last Word to ATRs for me at the back end of 2008, but this kick-started my return to the A8 scene. I hope you enjoy the forums.

Good to see you on here Dean. On a different note, I was just wondering whether you were still "into" the Atari? Do you still use one for fun / nostalgia or has it all been packed away now?

Do you still use one for fun / nostalgia or has it all been packed away now? I still have a 65XE, 130XE, 800XL, and 2 1050s, but I usually just use a PC emulator these days if I want to do anything. The Atari emulator for the GP2X handheld is also great for playing the old games. Nice to see you Dean! I doubt you remember transferring the source code for The Last Word to ATRs for me at the back end of 2008, but this kick-started my return to the A8 scene. I hope you enjoy the forums. Vaguely!

DGS-Atari Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Just a quick note here. It seems that the PayPal code I had on my site to order the Atari software pack was no longer working, and some people had problems. It seems PayPal had stopped supporting the old style code, so I have changed it to the new style and it now works. While doing that I also decided to create a new PDF document containing all the information for the pack, along with new screenshots, which replaces the original HTML info pages which were old and frankly looked awful! It's available for viewing/download via the 'Software Pack' page at my website: http://www.dgs.clara.net/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly getting blown about in the constant wind here in the northern isles! Had an opportunity to work from home about 10 years back, so moved up here to try something different.

DGS-Atari Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Just digging this old thread up again to mention that I've now created a pack containing all the back issues of the old DGS News-Disks, News-Papers, and News-Paper on Disk (26 issues in total across all three formats). These used to be only available as part of the full DGS software pack, but I've put a separate pack together for anyone who's just wanting the magazines. The whole lot costs just US$2 (they come as a ZIP file containing ATR files of the disks, and PDF files of the printed magazines). This offer is just for the forums, so it isn't mentioned specifically on my website. The direct link to the offer including more information and a PayPal ordering button is here: http://www.dgs.clara.net/magspack.htm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I just bought the full s/w pack. Great deal for $7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
