Summary: Antic merging into STart Keywords: STart Message-ID: <1990Sep14.223939.16106@cbnewsd.att.com> Date: 14 Sep 90 22:39:39 GMT References: <79@organpipe.UUCP> Distribution: na Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 20 As I understand it, Antic is being merged into STart. That is why STart cancelled their September issue. (See _ST REPORT_ #6.31.) However, there is some evidence that the 8-bit coverage will not last long. Recently, there was a formal conference on Delphi with Tom Byron (Editor?) of STart. I was only on for a short time, but someone else (LMCCLURE) quotes Tom Byron as saying that "the Antic section is only temporary (about six months)." Does this mean that 8-bit coverage will cease after 6 months of STart, or that it will not be in a separate Antic section? I don't know for sure. LMCCLURE interpreted it as the first meaning (8-bit coverage is ending). Also, s/he says that Byron mentioned that the disks will no longer be included with the subscription.
