VISUAL DEVELOPER MAGAZINE LISTINGS DISKETTE #37: APRIL/MAY 1996
---------------------------------------------------------------
FORMERLY PC TECHNIQUES!

To all our programmer friends:

These are the listings from the February/March 1996 issue of
VISUAL DEVELOPER MAGAZINE, Volume 7, #1.  Just in case you
haven't caught on just yet, this is the first issue of the 
redesigned and repositioned magazine that was previously 
titled PC TECHNIQUES.

There is a reliable Internet site for the complete collection of
our listings, in the form of SimTel, the Coast-to-Coast Software 
Repository.  The primary mirror site is ftp://ftp.coast.net/SimTel/ 
in the directory

SimTel/msdos/pctecniq

SimTel will probably create a new directory for Visual Developer
listing archives, but it hasn't been nailed down just yet.  The
PC TECHNIQUES listings will almost certainly remain in the
above directory, however.

Web surfers can access the files through http://www.coast.net/SimTel.
There are quite a few mirror sites around the world.  You can find 
the listing of mirror sites on the main SimTel site.  Keep in mind 
that it sometimes takes a few days for files to migrate from the 
home site in the US to the mirror sites.

We have our own FTP area as well. For space reasons, however, we may 
only have the most recent six or eight archives on our own ftp site, 
but the full run back to Issue 1 of PC TECHNIQUES will be carried at 
SimTel.

And note that our ftp address has changed!  If you've placed our old ftp
address in a hotlink or configuration file somewhere, yank it out and
put this new one in!!!

The new URL for our ftp directory is as follows:

ftp://ftp.coriolis.com/pub/pctech

The old directory, containing "users/o/orders" *is now defunct.*

Our Web site address has changed slightly as well, and can now be found 
at:

http://www.coriolis.com

The file VDMV7N1.ZIP contains all the separate listing files compressed
into a single archive file with PKZIP-compatible technology.  Note that
this is a different file format convention, replacing "PCT" with "VDM".
Note, however, that we are not "resetting the clock" for the volume
number.  It goes to 7 for April/May, as it would have done for PC
TECHNIQUES.

More and more, we're placing all the listings for a single article into
a ZIP archive to reduce confusion, especially since many articles contain
multiple files that are not printed in the magazine.

--------

We place *no* restrictions on the distribution or use of the source code
published in the magazine.  Please add it to your user group library or
BBS file archives.  Pass it along to your friends.  Make sure that anyone
who might conceivably find the code useful will get it.  You can upload
the file VDMV7N1.ZIP to BBS systems and not have to work with individual
files one at a time.

And yes, you *do* have our *explicit* permission to use our files in
commercial projects, unless something in the source file itself restricts
that permission.

VISUAL DEVELOPER MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION

Subscription rates are $21.95 per year (6 issues) in the US; $29.95
per year to Canada (in US funds) and $39.95 overseas, again in US funds
drawn on a US bank.  Two year subscriptions are available for $37.95
in the US; $53.95 to Canada, and $73.95 overseas. (A $63.95 rate
previous published for two-year overseas subs is incorrect.)  We accept
personal and company checks, money orders, and Visa and Mastercard.
Also note that overseas and Canada subscriptions should be paid for
*in US funds drawn on a US bank.*  Otherwise, currency conversion and
foreign bank collection fees can amount to as much as $20, which
obviously won't work out for a $20 or $30 subscription.

We gladly take phone orders if you have a MasterCard or Visa account.
(800) 410-0192.  (We do *not* currently accept AMEX or Discover!)
You can subscribe via commerce-secure Web browser through our Web
site: http://www.coriolis.com

We also sell technical books for developers through our Developer's 
Club catalog.  If you haven't yet seen Developer's Club, (it's bound 
into most copies of VISUAL DEVELOPER MAGAZINE that we distribute) ask 
for a free copy when you call!

-----------------------

We want your HAX!  You don't have to be a published writer.  You just
have to get your concept down as best you can in short form, along with
small amounts of code.  Think small!  HAX should fit on a single magazine
page.  You shouldn't send more than 50 or so lines of code with a HAX, nor
more than 400 or 500 words.  We now pay $50 for each one we publish.

Finally, let us know what you think.  We created VISUAL DEVELOPER MAGAZINE
to help you build your programming skills.  Your feedback is always welcome.
