|Where's the bloody Coffee?
by Freak of NFA
Thankfully this issue of The Word (It's 6 isn't it? I don't even know
what day it is, me!) didn't give us too much hassle, mainly because
there's very little recoding to be done, I tidied the source code up so
that ßudda/NFA (poor lad) could follow it more easily, but I think
that's about all, even the page width/text format manages to stay the
same for two consecutive issues!
More varied articles are coming in now, many from the Big Hard One BBS
but several from friends and contacts who fancy a laugh, which means
less work for myself in the typing department, and guarantees the future
of the mag just a little more strongly, keep it up (oo-er)!
Clipart has been omitted from this issue, for time reasons only!
The most notable omission from this issue is Pex le Sex of Quantum Inc
and all of his contact's articles. Poor old Pex is going through a bit
of a rough spot so isn't up to doing much typing, and doesn't feel like
mentioning articles and such to his contacts, hence they didn't send
any. Eventually this'll be sorted though, and we'll see more corker
articles from Pex and his contacts, which brings me nicely to...
|The Word 7 to be on 2 Disks!
(SHOCK! HORROR! - MORE WORK FOR FREAK!!)
This, of course, depends on how quickly the old articles pile up, but
you'll notice that there are very few (FOUR - Count 'em!) IFF adverts in
this issue, it's mostly text files. The Word is now becoming more
popular and is generating more interest, so more articles will appear in
the P.O.Box's and on the BBS's. Hopefully we'll manage to swing some
more magazine coverage too, thanks to Rich & Kev at Mon P.D. and Nicky &
Rob at 17-Bit Software for their efforts in this department.
Next issue will be more heavily re-worked in the graphics department as
well. You'll notice that TW6 looks far too much like TW5, the control
bar is the same, and the gfx on the article screen are only slighty
different, so we'll get working on that for the first two disk version.
One thing that WON'T change - after complaints from everybody (and his
bloody dog) is the article format, we've finally decided on 72 columns
with no colour.
|The Photo-Booth Returneth!
Also in TW7 I want to have another Photo-Booth. This might clash rather
awkwardly with Digi-Pics II by Neø (You not doing that one then, Phil?),
but what the hell eh? I'll be in there, a better picture than last time
(when I hid behind a disk because I looked like shit ;), and I already
have pics of Gypsy and Repairman (NFA?) for it, plus I'm sure Phil! and
Pex will donate a couple, Budda also has a digitiser/camera setup, as
does my girlfriends dad (Hi Barny!) so we can get photos in as well...
We want more of everything, send in your group new-files (at the moment
I have to leech them off your bloody disks!), docs for new releases and
anything else you can think of (Hey Ke¡/Carnage - why not send me the
most interesting bits from your "Ke¡ Update" files?), doesn't matter if
it's bob - we'll consider it!
Support this mag - it has more Lunacy, more Variety and more AMOS than
any other disk-mag on the scene - guaranteed!
