Hi freaks!

This  is  the  newest  version of ST NEWS -  Volume  2  issue  8, 
launched  on December 19th 1987.  This time (for the  first  time 
since  three  issues) the disk is again  normally  formatted  (no 
maxi-format stuff).

Instruction for copying it to a double sided disk:

The directory contains hidden files.  These can be copied if  the 
whole  disk icon is dragged on the target disk WINDOW  (!).  Only 
when performing that operation,  hidden files are copied. Copying 
to  another single sided disk can be done using any copy  program 
that can copy non-protected disks.

You  can actually consider yourself lucky that this ST NEWS  came 
out at all.  I actually had a lot of trouble getting all articles 
in  time,  and Eerk Hofmeester took the bonus by  delivering  his 
article  on friday evening,  December 18th.  And if  that  wasn't 
enough,  he  found out that he had left the keys in the car  just 
after having shut the door....

I  won't specify the cracker's mentality that Eerk  explained  on 
that  evening,  since it would probably cause the  bankruptcy  of 
"STRIKE-a-LIGHT".  Anyway,  with  help of some  more  people,  he 
skrambled the door and got in again (and the worse thing:  It was 
Hubert van Mil's car, that now looks Pre-W.W. I!)

Something  that I stress very much in this ST NEWS issue  is  the 
fact that there is a virus on the ST. Read all about the virus as 
well as a way to aniihilate it in this issue!

The only thing that now remains is to wish you a merry  Christmas 
and a happy (and virus-free) new year!
