Please do. If you have good documentation, I guess that means that
software houses do too, and so can't complain that they didn't know
their programs wouldn't run???

Bl**dy hell! That's sounds just like what happened when two publishers
exchanged computer mags - one publisher consolidated his coverage of
Amstrad computers by gaining another Amstrad magazine and the other eliminated
a competing ST mag - ST Update which, admittedly wasn't brilliant but it
wasn't full of games and covered programming topics. I could do without
ST Action which is just full of games reviews anyway and I can do
without ST User since it no longer contains much of any interest but ST
World is in a class of it's own as far a British Computer magazines go.
I hope it doesn't turn into some ST User/ST World hybrid, I'd probably
ask for my subscription money back if it did....
