Nebula in Cologne 1996

It  was  the time when Art Design planed
so many Tools.  We  did  Toolcollections
like  Fun  Collection, Art Collection or
Music Collections like the Hitmix series
or Art Rip series and more...

But one of our final fantasy was to  im-
prove the dirmaster.

We were very sick about using 3-4 diffe-
rent  programs  to  work  with the disks
like we need...

So  Firefox and me had the idea first to
take the  Dirmaster & mix'em up with the
Dir-Master  published  on the Magic Disk
3/89.

But how to do?

As  Milan was our coder in Art Design he
should be able to do that, so we thought

but then he needed help  and Milan asked
Seesaw Widow for the help...

It bugged like hell  because he includes
only  ripped  code from the tools I send
him  to  rip  the  routines  from and he
found...

Seesaw Widow released then the  Dir-Edi-
tor Shadow (1/95) which wasn't perfect.

As  the  dirmaster  was  in another Beta
stadium Nebula visited me in cologne.

He  was  a fresh Hardcore member and to-
morrow would be his Hardcore Meeting.

He  asked  Shocker if it was allowed for
me to be his guest and there was no pro-
blem.

We  had  a lot to do these days as there
was a silent coop between Art Design and
Shadow.  I helped Wolfgang to do the FSC
Noter which included some of my ideas...
(packer,  memory  length  for the music,
more...)

So shortly after he arrived at my  place
the work began...

At first we had to copy the newest stuff
to each other, than we checked  the  FSC

noter for bugs and thought about  impro-
vings together...

The  reason  while there were later more
versions around.

Then  we  had  to merge some routines to
work together in  the  dirmaster 6.  You
know  there  were a version with monitor
and one without. The Mon was ripped from
another  tool,  like  the  routines were
from  the  dirmaster/the dreamteam, dir-
creator, and so on...

All  ripped  together from Nebula in the
past times.

The unfinished work in 1995 by Milan be-
gan now really to became a face...

If you would see the routines I've  here
as he began you would really laugh...

It was later my swapmate Antifan who did
the  rest  of  the work and did the best
version...

It  has  still  some hidden bugs but was
the best.

About our personal meeting...

After  talking  about  the newest things

happened to our groups and copying, cod-
ing, packing the day was over...

The  next  day  we travelled both to the
trainstation  and  yep there he was "our
friend Shocker".  :)
