ANALOG is mailing the April issues! How do I know? I just received mine this past Saturday (3/12)! Yes, ANALOG has been bought by a bigger company, L.F.P. Inc, which (I guess many people know now) is, I have read on Delphi, owned by Larry Flynt of Hustler fame ("infame?"). The content looks to be about the same, although the mag. seems to have shrunk a bit; there seem to be at least one fewer regular columns. But given the problems that the ANALOG staff has had, I'm willing to give them a while to get things back to normal. To me at least, it looks very much the same. There seems to be the usual complement of type-in programs, including part 2 (the compiler) of "The Wizard" text- adventure construction package. Also, there is the 1st in a series of 3 articles (in the "Bits and Pieces" series of h/w articles) about connecting one 8-bit to another, to use as a printer buffer (I guess old 8-bits are cheaper than printer buffers?), but it's a very general look at Atari SIO etc. The arrival of this "long-awaited" issue made my day!
