  3. Dear GIF News Readers, 
  4.    The following information was taken from Claude Rains' Release #18
  5. file.  We congratulate him and appreciate the work that goes into these 
  6. lists.  We hope you find it as informative as we have.  I, myself, do not
  7. know Claude Rains so please do not direct questions about this list to me. 
  8. This should give you a good idea of what games will be coming out in '92.  
  9.                     Happy New Year!

  12. RELEASES - #18
  13.  
  14. Hi all.  Claude here.  This edition of RELEASES actually snuck up 
  15. on me too! I wasn't really planning on putting this out until after 
  16. the new year and the Jan. CES show, but such is life.  I got a LOT 
  17. of new information, got it quick, and thought, "what the heck - let's 
  18. just waste a weekend and put this out for out beloved readers!!"  You
  19. know I just live for this ... NOT.
  20.  
  21. IMPORTANT NOTE:  Claude's next version of RELEASES and from that time onward
  22. will be written in Word for Windows 2.0.  I'm sick of using editors, so if
  23. you're not into Windows, get into it, or get it from someone else, or
  24. whatever.  This will be written in W4W2.0 formatted for an HPLJ 3.  Same
  25. goes for Capsules.
