I was pleased to see Atari ST software available in the local "Program Store".
Not much, but they had single copies of a few items on the shelf and were
hoping for more in this week.  I didn't write down the names of the products
I saw, so this is from memory (a few parity errors).

	1.  HEX - A game from Sign of the Unicorn.  You control a Unicorn
		  which is hopping around on a hexagon of hexagons.  There
		  are opponents (jellyfish and the like) which are competing
		  for the hexagons against you.

	2.  A Terminal emulator program (cheap and simple).  I think it was
		  a VT100 emulator.  Looks like it was produced by a smaller
		  concern judging by the lack of glossy packaging.

	3.  A really fancy communications package.  Expensive, around $120.
		  May have also been from Sign of the Unicorn.  Has a terminal
		  emulator, communications protocols (KERMIT, XMODEM, capture
		  mode, all the good stuff).

	4.  MINCE - An emacs-like text editor.  Around $120-$15 I think.

	5.  ZORK I, Infocom.  Don't recall the price, but I think it was
		  about $40.
