|  Introduction | 16K compatible disk magazine entirely written by Jens Pörschke aka New Century, which seems to aim to be spreaded as payware, but apparently had never come out from a long test period. Actually, the three issues currently known should be considered as testing fields in distribution, audience gathering, code shaping, content writing, text formatting and price per issue.
Several additional articles, released out of the magazine and included as standalone texts, have been written in Funny Letter. Plus, Screen Editor is used in order to invite the audience to write articles, votesheets and commercial ads.
In Commodisk 1 (aka Commodisk 3/89), the release date of the previous issue has been reported as 1989-08-10, as well as the release date for the next issue (1989-10-20).
Commodisk 2 is simply named Commodisk, with no index number. Nonetheless, it appears to be the subsequent issue after (Commodisk 3/89): it features the second half of the IRQs programming course started in Commodisk 3/89, and announces a new programming course to learn the Assembler in the forthcoming issue 1/90. This issue reports a definite statement for the magazine:"Commodisk 16 gets released every 2 months, day 20th, at cost of 5,-DM; boss editor: Jens Pörschke; free editors: Christoph Gembalski, Michael Rohnen, Sebastian Domhof.". Out of those credits, B. Lauer has been credited for the menu. Here the author also cites his own nickname of the era: Porky's Cracking Service.
Surprisingly, Commodisk 3 (aka Commodisk 4/89) seems to have been yet released in 1989 though being reported on the menu itself as "issue number one", announcing the forthcoming issue 1/90 (again!) to be released in date 1990-02-15. On a side text included in this release, the author writes that the magazine has still to be spreaded as free, due to being "not so informative yet", marking the fact that it would have become clearly payware PD software from 1990 only. Unfortunately, this issue has a silly disk bug, preventing the loader to recall the menu back once an article has been read, simply due to the presence in the directory of a program with a filename that gets loaded with higher priority than the menu program file! |
