...READ ME FIRST... ...but why? Hello and welcome to the first words of the latest issue of UNDERCOVER, the zine of the scene for the scene... This time it's my (Moondog) job to write this words. Drizzt had started his civilian service and is out of order. So I had to finish this mag. It's the first time for me and I hope that it will run more or less good on all the machines because I wasn't able to test it on the ST =( ... My ST is damaged since some weeks and I really don't have the money to fix this. I've tried to install the PaCifiST on our PC but our old machine isn't fast enough to emulate the ST and so I wasn't able to test it at least on the emulator =( And because my Falcon makes also some problems since some days it is nearly a wonder that I could manage it to finish the mag in time... As you can see there isn't an intro included this time... I know, it's only lame and I will not try to justify this here. I will only say that we have decided to release the mag without any intro before we will put something dull for this to the disk. After the last good intro's we wanted not to shock you with some lame routs and stuff without any style and design. It's the first time in the history of the UCM that we release a regular issue without an intro and this hurts, no question. So I hope that we can entertain you with issue 10 again with a stylish intro, but I will not promise this... Other stuff: the shell is still as buggy as Windows. Drizzt hadn't kicked out the bugs, even if he knows them. I will not leave any words about this here. I'm not the coder and I cannot force Drizzt to debug it. It isn't good for the image, but I think our image as coding-band isn't anyway the best. So you have to spend some more hours with the fatal bugs of the new UCM shell. Another point to mention is that we're now collaborating official with the guys of .tSCc. which have helped us like no other one. Because the UCM wouldn't be what it is today without their great help it is time to credit them in the right way. Sometimes I think the UCM is more a .tSCc.-prod than a .tnb.-release ... Ok, this is all for now. If you're interested in more shit like this you should run the mag and read the editorial... I have to go now ... may the Knuffeltier be with you!
