MEGADISC DISK MAGAZINE
The MegaDisc Disk-Magazine Series
This is our flagship, and a lot of effort goes into making this magazine
the best anywhere in the world.
You can subscribe to our disk-magazine, just like you would to a normal
paper magazine. Every issue comes on 2 disks, full of compressed info and
programs - hints, tips, tutorials, articles, graphics, in fact anything and
everything which could possibly make your use of the Amiga more
interesting, entertaining and productive. On any issue of MegaDisc there
is more material than 4 or 5 normal magazines, and it has plenty for both
beginners and veteran users. Costs of subscribing are:
6 issues for
$59
($53.10 pensioner/student), including 4 PD disks
or Hints & Tips disk.
or 3 issues for
$39
($35.10 pensioner/student), including 2 PD disks.
Once you're a subscriber, you can get all sorts of discounts on our other
offerings.
Back issues of MegaDisc
Any 1-disk issue (MD 1 - 23, 25, or 26) .................... $ 6
Any 2-disk issue (MD24, or MD27 onwards) ................... $10
To find out what's on the back issues, check our Index on the Catalogue

MegaDOS, The AmigaDOS Manual-on-Disk
Covering Workbench 1.2, 1.3 and ARP (AmigaDos Replacement Project), this is
a full reference manual, as well as containing a lot of examples and
tutorials on the many aspects of running your Amiga. All kinds of
techniques for using both Workbench and CLI are covered, and it is suitable
for both beginners and regular users of the Amiga. It's also completely
home-grown, ie, your editor wrote it over many a long evening.
Cost is $19.95, or $13.95 if you're a subscriber to MegaDisc.

MEGADISC EXTRAS
MEGADISC began the MD_EXTRAS disks with issue 31 to supplement each issue
of MEGADISC by providing programs and utilities that are mentioned in the
MegaDisc articles, tutorials and reviews (if it's PD). This will save
users from hunting around all over the Public Domain and will be nicely
arranged to be referred to from the various articles.
These disks may be ordered as part of a subscription from MegaDisc ($20 per
6 issue subscription, or $12 for a 3 issue sub), or as separate disks for
$5 individually. Simply quote MDE and the issue of MegaDisc that you want
the extras disk for - for example, MDE_34 for that issue's disk. Or let us
know that you want to get it when you get your MegaDisc subscription.
Please note that it is not possible at this stage to get MDEs before 31.
Full details of the contents of the MegaDisc Extras disks are in the
Extras.MD31-37 file in MegaDisc_Contents.

MEGADISC DIGESTS
The Digest series has been designed to make the task of finding individual
MegaDisc articles, hints, reviews etc an easier and more pleasant process.
There is such a wealth of information in each MegaDisc that it can be
difficult to find things quickly.
On each Digest disk is a Reference Guide, which is a HyperBook database
referencing all the articles, hints or reviews on the disk. From the
Reference Guide, any article, hint or review can be loaded directly.
LATEST DIGEST DISKS
