Congratulations to A|C|G the publishers of Atari Computing magazine for reaching issue 4. When the group was originally formed it was to produce up to three issues to "see how things go". Well they have gone from strength to strength and are now offering subscriptions of either three or six issues. The magazine is not available in the shops so send in your subscription form now.

They also have a new website produced by Frank Charlton at: http://www.tachyon.demon.co.uk/ac/


MasterBrowse, the document reader, and EssCode, an invaluable utility for people online that need to send files via Email, are now available as a joint registration cost of just £5 the pair. UK registration is handled by:

Crystal Atari Browser [CAB to you and me] has been sold to ASH and the long awaited version 2 will not be Freeware, but commercial. UK distribution will be handled by System Solutions [see main System Solutions news page - Ed] and the launch price is expected to be £19.95. Version 1.5 will remain Freeware and supported by InterActive.


Do you ever receive unsolicited email? Do they usually have instructions on how to remove yourself from the mailing list? ZetNet, the Internet Service Provider [ISP] that is proving to be a good home for Atari users, recently sent their customers a warning. These messages and the email you send to remove yourself from the list are often used simply to find out if an address is active. Lists of these addresses are then sold to companies and you could find yourself receiving even more unsolicited mail!
