Å  The first desktop publishing package for the Archimedes! That is the
claim of LTS Ltd, and no other company has yet informed Archive of a
similar package being available. Newsmaster has 34 fonts in sizes from 8
to 60 point with a variety of typefaces. Over 170 dotmatrix, inkjet and
laser printers are supported. The cost is just ú60+VAT but it needs
1Mbyte of ram and Acornæs IBM emulator which suggests that it might not
be as fast as one might hope on an Archimedes. When we get a review
copy, weæll let you know how good it really is.

Å  The Programmeræs Reference Manual is now available Ö two volumes, as
mentioned in the last issue and we have been able to arrange a discount
so we can make it available to Archive subscribers for ú28 including
post & packing. The manual comes shrink wrapped with what is euphemi
sticly referred to as an ÉAddendumæ Ö 5 pages of addenda and 13 pages of
corrigenda! Be warned that it will take you some considerable time if
you want to go through the manual making the actual corrections. It does
have an index Ö indeed you get two copies of it Ö one in the back of
each volume Ö that makes life easier. The bad news is that the index
only gives a page number and doesnæt tell you which volume. You have to
remember that volume 2 starts at page 355.
