Over the past few months, an intermittant thread has discussed good
Amiga magazines. I haven't seen anyone mention Compute's Amiga Resource,
which I find pretty good. It appeared on the local newstand in my
village of 5,000 about 7 months ago, so surely you can find it where you
are.
There are the usual chatty beginner's articles, but also a technical
column by Rob Peck that's pretty good. It offers a disk with each issue
which has had some pretty good stuff on it, such as the highly touted
SCRIPIT (a script program that can work on screens, windows, and menus
at the WB level), V (a good picture viewer), and req (which cooperates
with iconX to put up a file requestor, substitute the file requested
into some string like 'assign fonts: %%', and then executes it).
Also some keen games, and lots of source.
The staff seems to be pretty knowledgable. That is, some of the games
on the disk are written by the editors, etc.
