+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+› (Editors NOTE:  Its catch up time...› This article and the  N/L  Review on› side one  are  not the very  latest,› but they are interesting and were'nt› printed in  the past, so I feel they› are  both worth printing, because of› the popularity of these reviews.)›     › *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*››            NEWSLETTER REVIEW››             by Alan Sharkis›        OHAUG Newsleter Librarian›› The  reviews  are  light from most of› the clubs this month, but I have some› catching  up to do on the LIAUG Light› House.  Seems as if  the  LIAUG  crew› just  couldn't  get around to sending› them out.  Since I am a member there,› I'm  going  into my own private stock› to review them for  you.   Meanwhile,› Alex  has copies of the ones that I'm› reviewing and they should be  in  the› newsletter library soon.›› LIAUG  Light  House  for  June,  1992› reprints  JON  D. MELBO's description› of his program,  WDIR.COM,  which  is› used in SpartaDos to give MS-DOS-like› wide directories.  JIM HARRIS  writes› an  amusing  article in which this 8-› bitter describes his first  encounter› with  an  ST.   I will not comment on› the LIAUG editor's  comments  at  the› bottom  of the article, except to say› that it was all meant in good fun!›› LIAUG Light House for July, 1992  has› a reprint from Z-NET of JOHN PICKEN's› very   good   article  on  printers. › Another Z-NET article,  this  one  by› CAROLYN  HOGLIN  (MFACC)  talks about› preparing text  with  AtariWriter  so› that  it  can  be  used  by  a 16-bit› computer.  My (dated by  now)  review› of the Okidata 320 printer is also in› this issue, as is an article  by  JIM› HARRIS that is a look back at The New› Nest in the year  since  he  took  it› over.›› (FR)antic  for August, 1992, contains› the   first  in  a  series  of  self-› portraits of the  members  of  AAAUA.› This  one  is  from  ED  HALL,  their› Canadian member.  It's an interesting› article, and I suggest that you  read› it.   AAAUA President Al Sherrill has› a column on spreadsheets,  what  they› do,  and  how  they  do it.  A column› called,  "Are  You  a  Computaholic?"› with   multiple  reprint  and  author› credits may look familiar to many  of› us.  Take a look.›› M.U.G.  Newsletter for August, 1992's› Atari News section describes the June› NAPCO  meeting  as  being filled with› equipment  and  demonstrations.   The› club's  attendance  has  been  light,› little 8-bit information is contained› in  the  article, but the activity of› this small club  cannot  be  denied. › The  LIAUG  Light  House  for August,› 1992 contains a very complete  source› listing for 8-bit hardware, software,› repairs, magazines, newsletters, etc.› It's  author, RAY WILMOTT, is looking› for additions to his list.  Who  will› be  the  first of our members to tell› him about our club newsletter?›› The LIAUG Light House for  September,› 1992    contains   CAROLYN   HOGLIN's› (MFACC) article on downloading custom› fonts  and  characters  to printers. › She uses the Star NX-1000 printer  as› her example.  An article by TOM HUNT,› describing his color graphics  system› (CGS)  for  BobTerm  is  also printed› here.  I've tried the system  on  The› Gods  Playland  BBS, and it has great› potential.›› The DACE Desktop for September,  1992› has  an  article  on  the  front page› about the release of  the  new  Atari› Falcon  line in Europe, complete with› a spec sheet.  No, I am not deserting› the  8-bit  to  buy this machine, but› the specs look rather impressive, and› if it's good for Atari, it might just› kick some benefit  our  way.   Inside› the  cover,  however,   is   a   JOHN› DICKERSON  article  announcing  a new› Polish entry  into  the  8-bit  game-› software  market.   The  game,  Gabi,› uses  a   squirrel   as   a   central› character.   You make him gather nuts› for  the  winter,  but  each  nut  he› cracks has a  surprise  in  it.   The› game  is  being  distributed by Trans› World Exchange in Parkland,  WA,  and› the price is certainly right!›› *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*›
