We recently received a sample copy of the March/April 1987 issue (vol. 2 #2).
Here's the table of contents:

	Questions and Answers
	Letters
	Operating Notes: 3B1 Unix Upgrade Revisited
	Features:
	    RS-232 Communications - A Primer
	    RS-232: A Universal Communications Utility
	Software Forum: The Friendly Administrator
	UniForum 1987 report
	The Resourceful Shell
	PC6300 Terminal
	The CAD Corner: Power Up Your CAD System
	In The News Circuit
	Classified Ads

The magazine was a thin 32 pages with an average article-to-advertising
ratio.  The editorial and production quality were, in my opinion, not quite
up to professional magazine standards, but this is admittedly a small
magazine serving a relatively small market, so I really wouldn't expect
anything as slick as "Byte" or even "Unix Review".  All in all we decided it
was worth $25 on the chance that an occasional article (or ad) would have
something useful to us.

Here's the address if you want to know more:
