      Good News:
      @5
      Malcolm  Lavery  has  just  completed  Teeny  Weenys  in  time  for
      Christmas.   As far as I can tell, Malcolm WON'T be releasing Teeny
      Weenys via F1 Licenceware, but selling it himself!
      @1
      Sad News:
      @4
      Malcolm  tells  me that he may give up programming if royalties and
      shareware fees don't pick up!
      @3
      This  would be very sad indeed as Mal is one of the top Amos coders
      around  and  his work is second to none.  Not only does Mal produce
      top  quality  software  and  create stunning commercial gfx, but at
      present, his Magic Paint Box is F1's highest rated title. - 96% !!!
      @5
      Everyone wants to earn mega bucks for their hard work and I suppose
      Mal  has  every  right  to  feel down about sales of his software -
      everyone  does,  but  let's hope he continues his Amos programming.
      Why not write to Mal and show your support? It may change his mind.
      @5The  Amos AGA Extension is now available for only £3.99 direct from
      F1 Licenceware.  Steve managed to get distribution rights after Joe
      of Petra Software buggered things up! (Nice one Steve).
      @1
      In  my  opinion, Steve should have been passed the AGA Extension in
      the first place.  The author would have been a whole lot better off
      for it.
      @4
      More  information  about  the  AGA  Extension can be found out from
      Steve at F1 (address & Tel.  No.  elsewhere)
      @3
      Hopefully  Az  will have the full low-down next issue (I think Dave
      Kirk is writing the review, but anyone can have their say)
      @4
      At  least  now  you  can  order the Extension for half its original
      price and be sure that you will get it  :-)
      @1
      Joe  of  Petrafied Softdicks should be hunted down and we have been
      given a new contact number for him which is: 01703 338318
      @5
      Anyone  still  waiting  for their £10 to be returned should contact
      their  local  trading  standards  office.   This  guy should not be
      allowed  to get away with this scam!  (I'm still waiting for my £10
      to be returned also  :(  - Look out Joe Jenkins we're onto you ...)
      @2Shocking News/Rumour:
      @3
      I've  also  heard  that Joe Jenkins will be the man responsible for
      selling Amos Pro/Compiler!!! Surely this can't be true!
      @4
      (I just hope I'm not getting names mixed up here)
      @1
      If  it is the case, DON'T order it from him, he'll only rip you off
      - AGAIN!  This man should not be trusted at all.  He owes the Amiga
      Magazines thousands of pounds for all his adverts and has only sent
      out  a  few copies of the AGA Extension.  (even though he had loads
      of orders for it!)
      @5
      Apparantly  Joe  will also be buying into that long gone Amiga mag,
      `THE  ONE'  which  is  set  to  make  a comeback!  Aaarrgghh.  I'll
      certainly  not  be  buying it and would ask you all to do the same.
      Please also spread this info as much as you can.
      @3
      I  do  hope the person(s) that passed all this info onto myself are
      correct,  or  I'll look like a right dick head!  Still, keep an eye
      out for more of Joe's scams.
      @4
      Gawd,  next thing ya know, he'll be ripping the kids off in Santa's
      grotto over Chrimbo time!!!
      @4Amoszine has made it to coverdisk! (at last :-)
      @1
      Yip,  good  old Steve managed to get the Special Edition of Az onto
      Amiga Shopper's cover disk.  So let's hope sales pick up and we get
      even more top contributors also.
      @5
      By  the  way,  IntOS (full version) was also given away on the same
      coverdisk.   Plus  the  chance  to purchase the complete manual for
      about  £8.   Not  only  that, but inside the mag you get to see the
      second  Amos  column  by  Steve Bye and also an exclusive interview
      with him too.  (Thanx for the mentions Steviekins my sexy honey :^)
      @3
      So  it's  worth  buying  Amiga  Shopper  for  all  the Amos goodies
      supplied.  Isn't AS turning out to be a great mag for us Amos'ers ?
      @4
      Keep up the good work everyone - we appreciate all the support guys
      Thanx.
      @1
      (As mentioned last issue of Az, AS gave away the full F1 release of
      my  Ultimate  Quiz Vol.1 I would like to thank everyone who has now
      purchased Vol2 of the game and its support/data disks). Now AS have
      given away the Demo of DMC on the subscriber's disk. Thanx to Steve
      for  all the support so far.  Nice one m8.  Looking forward to more
      of AS issues, thanx to Steve's input.
      @5Lee  Bamber is working on a new title by the name of:  PLAZMIRAXE
      and has sent out playtest versions to myself and other Az dudes.
      @1
      Since  I'm  not  a  gamesplayer,  I  won't comment on the game, but
      hopefully  by  the  next  issue of Az we will have a full review by
      someone else who has been sent the game. (Maybe Lee could write the
      review himself, seeing as he hasn't contributed to this issue :^)
      @6
      C'mon Lee, get yer finger out and get typing some articles please.
      @3

      At  last,  The  F1  CD  is now complete and ready for distribution.
      Contact Steve at F1 for more details please.

      @4
      Hmm,  not  much  in the way of news this issue.  If anyone has some
      Amos  related news, please get in touch and let other Az dudes know
      what's happening.
      @3
      While  I'm here, please get typing up some articles for next issue.
      Az  is  supposed  to  be  a  disk magazine after all.  Without your
      support it will certainly filter away ....
