GamesMaster Manual
Hey all! Been a long time since I did anything for SAM, but I've been planning to have a go at creating something new over the next few months... Having moved house a few times in the last few years, I haven't a clue where my GamesMaster manual is (It's at the bottom of a miscellaneous box somewhere!), so I was wondering if there was a PDF of the manual out there somewhere? Likewise, but less important (Since I'll be using Photoshop and converting), is if there is one for SamPaint? Would still be handy for doing tweaks and alterations. Anyways, it's always good to get back into SAM related fun! ;-) Hope everyone's doing well! Warren Lee
S.A.S. Manual anyone
Hello all, Back in the Sam Scene thanks to Colin Piggot, thanks Colin :-) Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had a full manual for the Sam Adventure System? Or maybe they know someone willing to sell me their copy of the software and manual if they don't use it anymore? Just a bit of a search at the mo' really. Thanks all. Darren Sparrow.
SAM Tech Manual Bug
Hi, I just noticed a bug in the SAM Tech Manual (3.0), so I'm pointing it out in case anyone else gets bitten by it. On page 16, example code for scanning the keyboard is given, which contains the instruction: SCF ;set carry flag for RLC B ;rotate next address line This should have been RL B, as RLC is _without_ carry. Cheers, -- Stuart Brady
tech manual
Hi, I just noticed that the copy of the tech manual on nvg doesn't contain Appendix C or the index. There's also an extra page at the end regarding the ANYIV variable in ROM 1.2. I don't really have anything that can edit pdfs, but maybe someone else would like to fix it. I can scan the pages in if needed. Cheers, -- Stuart Brady

Looking for SCADS manual
I have give up to look for a SCAD manual as it seems that nobody can or want to help out. But maybe I find a keen person who declares me the meanings and usage of some parameters which are used in orders such as ANIMATE 0,1 or more special SETINP 0,2,2,2,255,00020001 and more. If I know more about SCADs maybe I can create an easy to use muanual by myself and for Gavins community page? Thanks in advance Wo from WoMo-Team

Re: Looking for SCADS manual
Only to remember my search for SCADS manual. To Martin Fitzpatrick: Hope your house moving continues. If you think you will need for longer with your house don´t you think it´s better to send me the original (of course you will get back) and I do the job. I guess I have read it has a lot of pages (about 300, correct?). Greets Wo from WoMo-Team
Re: Looking for SCADS manual
Once upon a time I asked for the SCADS manual and someone wrotes, he would scan it in and set it to the net. Hopefully that someone which name I not know yet is still alive, I like to know how things are in progess (if). Otherwise as I mentioned I like to do the job when someone would send me an original.

So I think it was you and yes - I remember poohsticks. I think .txt format would be the best for anyone who wants it also. If you have textdetecting (OCP) in your scanner software a textformat would be always the best. I can handle nearly all formats (rtf, doc, ansi, ascii) so for me personally PDF is also no problem.
