A new internet package from Origon Research is
expected to be launched very soon in the UK by HiSoft. Net&Web is
reported to be very simple to set up and includes Email, FTP and a web
browser. We hope to bring you a full review in AtariPhile #6. In the
meantime contact HiSoft for information.
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!
