Subject: UK: Atari Bundles up 1040ST in Productivity Package

LONDON, ENGLAND, 1990 JUN 6 (NB) -- Atari UK has unveiled its
first bundling deal based around the 1040 STe machine, the
"extra" pack.' Retailing for UKP 499 ($800), the package includes
software worth more than UKP 300 ($480).

The aim behind the "extra" pack, which includes a free magazine -
"making the most of your new Atari ST," - is to encourage users
of less sophisticated machines to upgrade to the 1 MB (megabyte)
STe machine.

Unlike the original 1040ST, the 1040STe (the e stands for
extended) has a modular construction. This allows the machine's
memory to be expended to 4 MB internally using single inline
memory modules (SIMMs). Other features of the STe series include
Tos 1.6, a new version of the ST's operating system.

The software in the "extra" pack includes ST-Word (word
processing); ST-Base (database); ST-Calc (spreadsheet) and ST-
Graph (business graphics). A Basic programming package (First
Basic), an adventure creator (Stac) and an arts package
(Hyperpaint) are included along with Prince, a strategy adventure
game, in the UKP 300-plus software bundle, which is available
immediately.
