As usual, a few tidbits from the Syndicomm.com online service:

** Syndicomm Installs New Bulletin Board Software

Syndicomm owner Eric Shepherd announced that new software for the online
service's bulletin board has been installed.  The new software is far
faster than the previous version, and also allows access via the World Wide
Web.  If you have a Syndicomm account, point your World Wide Web browser to
http://www.syndicomm.com/communities/a2/messages/ and log in.

** SOAR Grounded; Fix On The Way

One of the byproducts of the update of the bulletin board software is that
SOAR, the Spectrum script based off line reader, needs an update to
continue to work.  It is believed that as of press time, the update has
been made available.

** Syndicomm Initiates Apple II Forever Projects

Syndicomm owner Eric Shepherd has begun organizing the "Apple II Forever
Projects", including the Apple II Documentation Project, as an outgrowth of
some of the sessions of KansasFest 2001.  There are areas set up in the A2
area of Syndicomm.com to discuss the projects; you can also contact
Shepherd at sheppy@syndicomm.com for more information.

* A2Pix Updated

Lazarus Long updated his Macintosh program for viewing Apple II images.
The current version is purported to show several different 8-bit Apple II
formats.  Both 68k and Carbon versions of the program's current (beta)
release are available.

* New Juiced.GS On The Way Soon

Max Jones, publisher of the premier Apple II publication, has announced
that the post-KFest issue of Juiced.GS will soon be on its way (it was
shipping as of press time).

* Silvern Castle 7.3 So Close, So Far

Finally, as a follow up to last month's announcement about Silvern Castle
7.3, Jeff Fink has announced that he has been delayed, in large part due to
his moving.  Expect the release soon.
