The Grim Reaper issue 10 July 1993¢----------------------------------¢¢Well, ten issues old, eh? Who would have thought that it'd ever reach this stage? Of course it never would if it wasn't for all the people that have taken the time and effort to write something and send it to me for inclusion in TGR. This issue is dedicated to all those people - many, many thanx all!¢ I was going to rant on and on about Futura and its editor again, but I really can't be bothered. The truth of the matter is that Stuart Murray is a hypocrite and a liar. Strong words, yes, but, believe me, true.¢ This issue of TGR sees the last time Futura and its editor will ever be mentioned by me. If anyone disagrees with anything I've ever said regarding Futura then all your letters will be welcome. Only one person has written saying my comments regarding Futura have been a little out of order.¢ My many thanx to Ken.H, Alias Maximus and Spite for making this issue of TGR possible! If you're glad that this disk is double sided then thank Ken.H for his excellent 'TGR Music Menu'.¢ Also thanx to John Foskett and Raphael Espino for sending me some programs and an article respectively. They got pushed out of this issue due to lack of space (I love saying that!) but you'll definitely see something from these two in TGR 11! In fact TGR 11 will be double sided due to John Foskett submitting a program that required Turbo BASIC. I thought I'd do another bonus side consisting of Turbo BASIC files and give you even more to cheer about!¢ Starting this issue I've decided to publish a series of Assembly Language tuitions in the pages of TGR. These were not written for TGR but a couple of people have asked for an Assembly tutorial and I hope this fits the bill. In fact one person actually asked ME to write it - they must be desperate!¢ I've not heard anything regarding the 'All Micro Show 7' yet but if there is one and you plan to go then please look out for me! I'll be wearing a black cap with 'BOSS' written on it; so if you see this adorning a forehead then come up and either say hello, push money into my hand or punch me in the face! I can handle them all (though each will get a different response!).¢ As you probably know, the latest issue of 'New Atari User' brought with it a price increase in the subscription rate. Like Les Ellingham says, price increases are never welcome but please don't desert the magazine! It needs your support now as much as it ever has and if it goes under then it'll surely be the beginning of the end. Where else would you find out about the new Tiger Developments releases? How else would you keep up with the new games that Derek Fern imports? How would you have heard about Excel, Futura and, maybe even, TGR? If you care about the Atari 8-bit then you must subscribe. I know it can be difficult finding #15 but do try your best. It will be worth it.¢ This issue of TGR sees the start of a new series entitled 'Top Ten'. If you can submit something to it then do so! Just follow the same format as the two in this issue and it should be OK.¢ TTFN!¢¢John E. (TEBSF)¢
