GIF News May/June 1992 Issue #20 (C)1992 Hsiao & Hunter, Inc. Release date: May 1, 1992 ------------------- From the Desk of the Editor ------------------------- Hi, this is Eric Hsiao, the creator of GIF News. Thanks for taking the downloading GIF News. This issue is dedicated totally to sound boards, and we really hope the information you find within helps you pick the sound board that best suits your needs. If you find the information useful and helpful, please consider a small donation of around $5 to help cover long distance telephone charges incurred from the distribution of GIF News. So, sit back and enjoy the issue. Please feel free to send me any comments and questions you may have (i.e. that green on white font is too difficult to read, what software do you use to create GIF News, do you have any more information on the Pro Audio Spectrum 16, etc.). Our next issue will be July/August. Look for it around July 1st.

This includes the addition or deletion of files to and from this archive. If you enjoy reading GIF News, please consider a small donation of $5 (US) to cover my expenses of uploading GIF News to long distance Bulletin Boards across the country. Also, please upload GIF News to a couple of your favorite boards. Any bit of distribution helps. By the way, a PostScript Laser Printer would really be appreciated here. It would enable us to send hardcopies of GIF News to those who want it on paper. If you know of any office/computer supply auctions, please let me know. Free advertising continues...read GIFNEWS.ADS for more details. Special note to Internet readers: If you would like to be a GIF News subscriber, just send me E-mail and I will add you to the mailing list. GIF News will be uuencoded and sent to you via E-mail. Many uudecoders exist for both unix and ms-dos platforms. If you are unable to handle the .ZIP format on your machine, let me know and I will send you the file in an LHARC, ARJ, ZOO, or ARC format. Also, if you're anonymously FTP'ing, and come across some files you think might be GIF News. You can easily tell which issue is up by looking at the filename. For example, the filename is: gn92-05.zip <-- The gn stands for GIF News, the 92 re- presents the year, and the 05 is the month (May in this case). So be sure to look for gn92-07.zip in the beginning of July. Several FTP sites you might want to look for GIF News are: media-lab.mit.edu /pub/ wuarchive.wustl.edu /graphics/gif-news netserv1.its.rpi.edu /pub-write/gif-news For the easiest way to contact me, please check out the following: Note: Besides US Postal Mail, I check my Internet E-Mail most often.
