When I saw this note, I reached to the shelf beside my ST and grabbed my copy of the August issue of ST World, and started to hunt for the article by Robert Bob Mulholland. I could not find it. I looked again. I even read the index :-). Is ST World publishing different editions of its paper? The one I have is marked August 1988 Vol III, No. 8, issue #24 ISSN 0888-1057 and is published monthly in Roseburg, Oregon. Can anyone shed more light on this? -- L. J.

I would like to correct my original message about my review of ICD Hard Drive Kit being in the August 1988 issue of ST World -- it wasn't. The issue I should have said was the July 1988 issue (Vol. III, No. 7, Issue #23) on page 9. I would like to take this opportunity to mention that this is NOT ICD's FA*ST hard drive kit but the kit they sold previous to that one. Basically the only difference is the case, which is MUCH larger in the older kit than the sleeker under-monitor design of their FA*ST Hard Drive Kit. My apologizes to those who were confused by my mis-information.

Keywords : ST World, "Stars" accessory, STE Today I spoke (at last!) to Dave Stewart, editor of ST World, who told me that "There are no plans to shut down ST World." It seems that I was a little pessimistic, and I apologise if I got anyone worried. I didn't actually say that ST World was going to disappear, just that it looked as if it would. However, it appears that ST World will continue to be published and there will be a small item in the next issue explaining what the current ownership situation is. Next month's issue (March) _should_ also see the start of a series on programming the STE (but don't hold your breath...) To all those who have mailed me asking for a copy of my 'Stars' screen blanker, I've had a technical hitch with the ST to VAX link, and am now in the process of getting a copy of uuencode for the ST (Thankyou Pete Fenlon). I should be able to mail you all the uuencoded archive later this week. Similarly with STE documentation - I'll post it when I've managed to type it all in and got it across to this VAX.

In the editorial of the very thin ST World included free with ST User it states that ST World is being refloated as a monthly mag after a few issues when it is included free with ST User. This could be a great day for the ST as this magazine was from 1986 - 1990 a very nice non games magazine catering for the ST community. Perhaps this re-publication as a monthly is in line with Atari UK's aim at capturing more of the professional computing market. Dave H (D.C.Halliday@newcastle.ac.uk)

I wholeheartdly support the re-float of ST World, but I refuse to buy
ST User to get it. My reason is this. I once had a subscription to a
good mag called ST User which had a fairly good mix of Hardware,
Progging and Games etc. However one day about a year ago they started
a 'new look', which I find not only less appealing but downright
insulting. I am not a 16 year old hacker games player and object to
the comment style in the magazine. In the letters section they fail to
take anything seriously and the rest of the magazine is not much
better. At least ST World always treated its readers as though they
had an IQ above 6.
ST World itself isn't published by Atari UK, its not published by
Europress (aka Europa publishing). If they re-launch it as a
standalone mag with the format they established in the quarterly
segment of their history (2 issues) and encourage serious advertisers
in there then I'm all for it.

Are you stating that its gone back to a mouthly issue ?, and was the April ST-World combined with the ST-User for that month ?. I have just written to my sister to see if she can get me the missing issue, 1st, Quarter No. 54 -- Roger W. Sheppard 85 Donovan Rd, Kapiti New Zealand...

It's a real pity that UK has lost magazines for non-kid Atari users. It's because most of the serious users are MIDI people and they are generally not concerned with other features of ST. I would rather like to see some translation from German documentation ( hardware project series, basic guide books, manuals of famous programs like Turbo-C and something like 'a collection of the best German articles of the year'). I wonder if someone in Germany could inform me of the addresses of German magazines by e-mail (I remember buying C't... or 68000er when I went skiing to Switzerland). ytsuji@cfi.waseda.ac.jp

NOTE ST World Issue 54 Quarter 1 1991 DOES NOT EXIST.
ST World is currently being given away with Atari ST User as was very
thin this last issue. It is intended to re-launch ST World as a
separate magazine at an unspecified later date
