o Apologies for the bad formatting of the AppleWorks patch last month. For those who couldn't work it out, here it is again.
There is a bug in the factory edition of AppleWorks 5 which prevents the saving of a DB file which has more than one labels-style report containing background text. Any attempt to save such a file results in the program crashing irretrievably. To solve the problem, patch the following bytes in SEG.AW:

o Brutal Deluxe members, Antoine Vignau and Olivier Zardini, have dissassembled System 6.0.1 with the intention of removing bugs and releasing an update. They would like to hear from anyone who knows of bugs in the current System Software, or people who can help them with debugging and testing. If you'd like to help make 6.0.2 a possibility contact Brutal Deluxe.

o ICON (formerly known as Resource Central) has produced the last issues of A2-Central, Timeout-Central, Script-Central, Studio City, Macrocosm, Solid Windows, and Config.sys. Tom Weishaar who ran ICON reluctantly stopped publication after discovering that ICON's projected expenditure for 1995 would not be covered by projected income by almost 50%.
The passing of ICON is a sad moment for supporters of the Apple II. Resource Central will long be remembered not only for their excellent paper and disk publications but also for organising that annual get-together - Kansasfest.
o Amid the confusion that Faxination is generating (see the Faxination review elsewhere in this issue) comes the news that Paul Parkhurst and Richard Wifall are continuing work on their fax projects for the Apple IIgs.
o Vitesse have still not announced a release date for Wolfenstein GS. The first 30 levels are complete but some problems have been encountered with the last 60. The delay gives those without accelerators more time to find one. Yes! You will need it.
