¢Atari 8-bit News-Disk Issue 4.¢------------------------------¢¢Editorial by Dean Garraghty.¢----------------------------¢¢¢Well here it is! Issue 4 of the News-Disk. Yet again, it was very difficult to put together. This was because of the old problem: no articles. You will notice that all articles on this issue have been written by me, or have come off the newsnet. I really would like to see some articles from News-Disk readers.¢¢The initial idea of the News-Disk was to collect articles and programs from a group of users and then share each others work with the others. So far, this has failed.¢¢If you don't want to write an article or program, then why not write us a letter? If you write a letter for publication then please write "for publication" at the top of the letter. If it's going to be long, then please send it on disk!¢¢I have written an article for this issue called SUBMIT.DOC. This tells you exactly how to submit articles. Please read it, and write some articles!!¢¢For many of you, this will be the last issue on your subscription. If your subscription number ends in /4 then it's time to re-subscriibe! You will have a subscription renewal form enclosed if you fall in to this category. Please please re-subscribe, I need your support! It would be a waste of time and effort to produce the News-Disk for just a handful of users. I have kept the cost at 4pounds for 4 issues, despite postal rate rises, and stationary price increases. The cost of production is subsidised by PD sales, otherwise it would run at a loss!¢¢Talking of PD, sales have slumped again. There are quite a few new disks in the library now. See the latest catalogue on side 2 of this disk.¢¢Other articles on issue 4 are: 3 articles on aspects of the 1050 drive, an article on rare and long gone hardware, all about hard disks on the Atari, a nice story about an Atari die-hard, a show report of AMS5, an article by on Digi-Studio (including behind-the-scenes details!), an article on AtariLab, and possibly more, depending on how much disk space is left after writing this!¢¢I have also put a couple of PD games on. These are DUNGEON.COM and CLOWN.COM. There is also a little demo by Mark Keates called SERVANT.COM. I have had to remove the DUP.SYS file from this disk to fit these on.¢¢And that's it for this issue. Keep those articles coming, keep those PD orders coming, and please re-subscribe if you need to.¢¢Thank you for your support!¢¢¢Dean Garraghty.¢24 Jan 1992.¢
