the APX software (see comments below). This program
was written by Jim Skinner of AT&T, Information Systems

to take over the unpleasant duty of preparing your annual

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...
