REVIEW

	This is a description of Amiga Computing issue 71, March 1994.

	This review includes a list of the articles in this issue, and is
followed by initial reviews of the programs on the coverdisk.  It is intended
to help you decide if you want to buy this issue, and should be especially
useful for those non-British readers (like myself) who need to order it from
their newsagents.

	This issue is 164 pages long, and includes one coverdisk.
