A newsletter aimed at developers that get published (approximately) every two months, or so. I believe it is also $20 per year to non Registered Developers (sent free if you are Registered). Invaluable information, not available elsewhere, has been printed in these pages ... definitely worth subscribing to! [From Lauren, same address] There was a mention someplace about having all the relevant info in past issues reprinted. Anyone at CATS know if that is/will happen? /kim -- UUCP: kim@amdahl.amdahl.com or: {sun,decwrl,hplabs,pyramid,ihnp4,uunet,oliveb,cbosgd,ames}!amdahl!kim DDD: 408-746-8462 USPS: Amdahl Corp.
