KelAUG!

Dear Colin, Just a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed Atari Times 13 and to ask for some back issues, if that's at all possible. (We're not on the 'phone here, let alone the Net, so you can understand the difficulties...) I've enclosed four discs (plus an address label and stamps) and I'd be very grateful if you could copy Atari Times 10, 11 & 12 - along with any issue after 13 - so that I can follow the HTML tutorial from the beginning. I liked AT a lot, and particularly its easy-to-use and logical design. I read it in mono from CAB v1.5 and it struck me that AT has a good balance between straightforward text, and enough graphics, such as lines and logos, to make it interesting but without slowing down the loading and formatting overmuch. The news and reviews were interesting - if brief - and the only real criticism I can make is that I came to the end of it far too quickly: I wanted more! I've been learning the basics of HTML recently, so your tutorial was especially appreciated, and the other highspots (for me at least) were Maurits van de Kamps' Autumn Atari Show report and Stephen Ticehurst's Coming Home article. They were both well-written and well worth reading, and Maurit's piece came from an intriguingly different angle... Stephen's column brought a smile to my face because I remember him well from the STEN disczine I used to co-edited. It's good to hear from him again! Talking of disczines, I'm involved in the KelAUG (Kelstar Atari Users' Group) discmag these days, and I've copied the last three issues of it onto the discs for your delectation (and possible review in a future AT?). KelAUG is a PD disczine that appears every two months, and the latest issue (No:8) came out at the beginning of April. KelAUG seems to be the only ST-oriented disczine around nowadays, and it's got an interesting mix of ST material and humour that's well worth checking out. I'd like to review Atari Times in KelAUG 9 (due out at the beginning of June) and I was wondering if there's been a later issue of it? (It'll be in good company, as we'll also be reviewing Maggie 25, Undercover 11 and Mega 1.) Would you be interested in the occasional review for AT? Recent French PD graphics programmes (Parx M&E Modules, etc), or something more general? I think that's it now - that's everything covered - and the only thing left to ask is would it be possible to run an advert for KelAUG in future Atari Times? And, if it is, then what kind of look/format would you prefer? Do you limit the graphics in ads, to keep them under a certain size, or are they open-ended? I've had a look at the code for the smaller ads, such as the Portfolio Users' Group, and I think I can design (I hope) something along similar lines. OK, that really is it now! All the best, thanks for Atari Times 13, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the HTML series. John Weller
