- November 1991
- Issue #17
- (C)1991 Hsiao & Hunter, Inc.
- Release date: November 8, 1991
-
- Dear GIF News reader,
-
- Sorry for the week and a half delay of the release of this
- issue. It's been a busy month here with a new upgrade from a
- 286 12MhZ to a 386-33MhZ. Everything is running smoothly now.
- You may have noticed that this issue only has the month November
- on it. Does this mean GIF News has gone from bimonthly to monthly?
- Well, not exactly. We plan on releasing another issue in December
- solely for review of products for the Holiday season. This includes
- games, hardware, software, etc. Be sure to look for it on a BBS near
- you. Starting January, GIF News will go back to being bimonthly.

- Again, GIF News can be freely copied and shared just as
- long as no modifications what-so-ever are made to this
- archive. If you enjoyed reading the past 6 or so issues of
- GIF News, please consider a small donation of $5 to cover my
- cost of uploading GIF News long distance to BBS's across the
- country. Or instead, please upload GIF News to a couple of
- your favorite boards. Any bit of distribution helps.
-
- Free advertising continues...read GIFNEWS.ADS for more
- details. Also, interested in megs of TrakBlaster .MOD files
- without the cost of downloading them long distance? Read the
- file GN-DISKS.TXT for an offer you can't refuse.
-
- Special note to Internet readers: If you would like to
- be a GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I'll add you
- to the mailing list. GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to
- you via E-mail. Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos
- platforms. If you can't unzip on your machine, let me know and
- I'll send up the file in an LZH archive or a ZOO archive.
- Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some
- files you think might be GIF News. You can easily tell which
- issue is up by looking at the filename. For example, you see:
- gn91-11.zip <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 91 re-
- presents the year, and the 11 is the
- month (November in this case).
- So be sure to look for gn91-12.zip come December.
