GIF News
January/February 1992
Issue #18
(C)1992 Hsiao & Hunter, Inc.
Release date: January 3, 1992
------------------- From the Desk of the Editor -------------------------
Hi, this is Eric Hsiao, the creator of GIF News. In the November 1991
issue, I mentioned a seperate December 1991 issue. Unfortunately, that
issue was never released. The main reason behind this was because we
had hoped to have the AdLib Gold Card to review for our feature story.
However, due to hardware chip problems, the Gold Card was delayed, so
we were unable to provide a full review. Secondly, with the Thanks-
giving Holiday and busy schedules around here, we were unable to get
all the articles together in time for a separate December issue. We
apologize sincerely for this.
Anyway, we hope you like the January/February issue. Here are some
of the headlines you will find inside:
* AdLib Gold Card Delayed
* Brief reviews of three interesting Windows 3.0 programs
* New Game Releases for 1992
* Coming products and attractions for the New Year
* Psygnosis releases "Oh No! More Lemmings!"
* Our first Super-VGA page (see GN9201V3.GIF)
* Accolade Vs. Sierra Vs. LucasGames - Who Makes the Best Adventures?
* and much much more.

donation of $5 (US) to cover my expenses of uploading GIF News long
distance to Bulletin Boards across the country. Also, please upload
GIF News to a couple of your favorite boards. Any bit of distribution
helps. Also, a PostScript Laser Printer would really be appreciated
here. It would enable us to send hardcopies of GIF News to those who
want it on paper. If you know of any office/computer supply auctions,
please let me know.
Free advertising continues...read GIFNEWS.ADS for more details.
Also, interested in megs of TrakBlaster .MOD files without the cost of
downloading them long distance? Read the file GN-DISKS.TXT for an offer
you can't refuse. MOD files can also be played using programs such as
ModPlay 2.0, JMPlayer, Registered Scream Tracker, Tetra Composer, and
other programs capable of handling the Amiga NoiseTracker sound format.
Special note to Internet readers: If you would like to be a
GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I will add you to the
mailing list. GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to you via E-mail.
Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos platforms. If you are
unable to handle the .ZIP format on your machine, let me know and I
will send you the file in an LZH, ZOO, or ARC archive.
Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some files you
think might be GIF News. You can easily tell which issue is up by
looking at the filename. For example, the filename is:
gn92-01.zip <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 92 re-
presents the year, and the 01 is the
month (January in this case).
So be sure to look for gn92-03.zip in the beginning of March.
Several FTP sites you might want to look for GIF News are:
wuarchive.wustl.edu /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/gif-news
aix.rpi.edu /pub-write
saffron.inset.com /incoming/gifnews
ab20.larc.nasa/gov /incoming/amiga/GIF-news
