Comments: Included in this issue of ANTIC is their new software catalog.
	  This includes several programs from the now defunct APX catalog 
	  as well as several exclusively written for ANTIC.  I will review
	  the catalog in a separate article.  ANTIC is continuing to hold
	  their price at $24 per year ($30 for Canada and Mexico, $42 for
	  overseas).  It will go up soon they say.  If you want to subscribe
	  by phone using a credit card, call 800-227-1617 ext 133 (outside
	  California) or 800-772-3545 ext 133 (inside Califronia).  You can
	  also write to ANTIC, Editorial Offices, 524 Second St., San
	  Francisco, Ca. 94107.

Happy reading...
