[ ... go ahead, eat my bits ... ]
I've had several people ask me for the address of "Micro/Systems Journal"
that I mentioned in a previous posting, so thought I'd post it to the net.
M/SJ is put out by Sol and Lennie Libes (more or less out of their "garage")
as a replacement for the now defunct "Microsystems" magazine.
"Microsystems" was started by the Libes' back in the "early days" of micro-
computing as a *technical* magazine; "Micro/Systems Journal" editorial
content continues in that tradition. They're aimed at the CP/M and MS-DOS
technical community, but also have regular columns for UNIX, Turbo Pascal, C,
Data Bases, and the Scientific User. Two other regular features are columns
that cover current releases of public domain s/w: "PC/Blue Report" for the
MS/PC-DOS people, and "SIG/M Public Domain" for CP/M'ers.
Since their 1st issue, they seem to have picked up a fair amount of adver-
tising support (editorial/advertising ratio seems to be about the same as
Dr. Dobb's Journal has), and the technical content continues to improve.
If you're technically oriented, I think you'll enjoy the magazine. Best of
luck to Sol, Lennie, et al in this venture.
Here's the address:
Micro/Systems Journal
PO Box 1192

---- ------- -------

Here it comes ... disclaimer: I only read the magazine, I haven't written
for it, I don't own stock in it or advertise in it, nor am I affiliated
with it in any other way. If anybody out there in net.land feels I am
"commercializing" here, you are invited to send flames to the Tooth-Fairy :-).
All opinions expressed are my own, not those of my employer, roommate, or
