ST World has indeed gone quarterly, but it's mostly full of reviews
(including some large-scale comparative reviews called 'Supertests') and
"buyers' guide" information (prices, current software versions, etc.)
rather than technical articles.

Mathew Lodge's "Programmer's Clinic" is now in the disk magazine
distributed with ST World's sister magazine Atari ST User.  (This is
monthly, and is more games-oriented.)  The Clinic doesn't seem to have
as many contributions as it used to.  I've not seen Mathew on the net
for some time now; I think he lost his Userid at the University of York
in the Summer.

The original posting asked about magazines with technical content, even
if they weren't in English.  I've not seen the German magazine 'ST
Computer' for over a year now, but it used to be full of heavy-duty
programming articles.  Maybe a German contributor could give us an
update and the addresses of the better magazines there?
