  Steve, I do monthly disk for the users in Australia and New Zealand.
  I have the months worth of Z*Net and STreport on it. If you would
  like a copy each month drop me a note. As a parting note Zmag is 
  now called Z*Net.

Almost true, but not quite.  To straighten the record out a little,
A*Net Online is the name of the ST magazine.  Zmag was (and is again)
the name that Ron Kovacs applies to the 8bit version of it.  After
a nine months absence, Zmag has reappeared on a bi-weekly basis
with news that is aimed primarily at the 8bit Atari user.  It is
even numbered #184, so no numbers were skipped.  The next issue was
supposed to be out Tuesday, but it isn't up on Ron's BBS yet. (as of
a little eariler this morning). According to mail he left me, that is
because he was at the Atarifest in Glendale, CA.  I'm looking forward
to his report.

Incidently, Jon, thanks for your fine articles in Z*Net.  I like to
hear the news about Atari in other parts of the world.

Hi Kit,
Well thanks for the notes re ZMAG issues. I will have to go and get a few
for the BBS here. Also thanks for the comments re Z*Net New Zealand. I see
it flamed this section of the net for a few weeks when the article of the
TT was posted. Now it is out and all can see.  Did you get your Zmags you
were after in the end or did you get them from the Znet BBS?
