I was looking through the October STart over the weekend.  It is
at the newsstands now.  I didn't count the pages, but I would say
that 16 is about right.  That includes the articles and the pages
for the BASIC listings for the programs.  I didn't buy the issue
I was looking at because it was only available with the ST disk for
about $12.95.  I didn't see any of the articles that I really wanted
to have either.  There was no offer to get the 8bit programs listed on
disk that I could see.  I only took a quick glance, though, so I might
have missed it.
