FSAMTV is now finished (hurrah). The first orders will be sent out on July 5th, and for all those who want to know more about the project, the full FAQ is attached to this missive. Purchasing information can be found at the Wireviews site, downloadable as a .ZIP (PC / Un*x) or .HQX (Mac) file (from the FSAMTV page). Basically, FSAMTV is a hybrid CD-ROM that contains around 75 minutes of Wire based footage including Ahead, Silk Skin Paws, B, and the new Video FAQ. This is all wrapped up in an HTML bundle to play in your favorite web browser. The CDR comes with a full colour cover and extensive troubleshooting .TXT file - just in case! :) Screenshots can also be found on the site. Also, Wireviews has just had its major monthly update with some new news and all the usual stuff. Well, that's it for now folks. Take it easy. Craig. >>> Free Speech and More TV Official FAQ Revision: 1.4F (June 29, 1999) >>> What is it? A custom burned unofficial CD-ROM containing around 75 minutes of Wire related footage.

It could be described as the best of Chairs Missing and 154 in the style of Pink Flag. **Snub TV interview and MTV interview run at 12fps, with lower sound / compression quality for space reasons. Screen grabs can be found at http://www.snub.dircon.co.uk/w_cdr.html The disc comes complete with colour cover art and a comprehensive troubleshooting .TXT file. >>> What is the release date?

You will need Apple's QuickTime installed to view the videos. Version 2.x is included on the CD. Version 3 (and a beta of 4) is currently available from Apple's web-site at http://www.apple.com. The CDR is an ISO9660/Mac hybrid and therefore will run successfully on PC and Macintosh computers. It is highly recommended that FSAMTV is run in Netscape Navigator for best results. To run in IE on the Mac you will need IE 4.5+, and version 2 of the QuickTime plug-in. To run in IE on the PC you will need version 4+. FSAMTV is optimised to run at a screen resolution of 800 x 600 with millions of colours. Got all that? :) Systems tested successfully: PowerPC 603e 132Mhz. MacOS 7.6.x. Netscape 4.x.
