  1.   Well here I am again, Metal Head, making the iCEPACK. What fun.. heh

  2.   The iCEPACK is a BIT small this month, but since it's quality that
       counts, who cares! :)              (Hope this doesn't Become regular)

  3.   First here lets talk about our VGA department.  Well let's see, iCE
       has been taking alot of shit from some people about the change in
       the VGA policy.  Well thats life, you take the good with the bad but
       despite what it looks like not everyone thinks the idea is a total
       joke.  Just ACiD, and Mr. Kalimazoo.  Oh well, as far as I see the
       policy is working out pretty well.. Just take a look at the two VGA's
       done by Lord Mischief this month.  As well we have gained a new coder 
       from Pennsylvania named Watchman he'll have a nice little project out 
       next month in the pack.  And a little intro within the next two months.

  4.   We have one little exception to our VGA policy this month.  And that
       is due to who else but Eight Ball the great :).  He sorta skipped out
       of the scene a little while back but made us up 3 VGA's for this month,
       but becuase he had been out of the scene he didn't haer about the
       change so they were delivered to us already coded.  They're great
       though.  So take a look

  5.   Well I just had a nice little suprise.  Redskin/TDT just called me
       up to show me a whole bunch of Logo's that he had made.  And for
       some first time VGA work, they're great!  So well iCE now has
       itself a VGA Logo Artist.  Take a look.  They aren't sign but the
       initials are "RS". Have fun.

  6.   Also in relation to our art you'll find that our ANSi department is 
       a bit small this month.  But most of that is due to the beggining of
       school.  And since most ANSi Artists are still in school.  It lessens 
       they're amount of time to work on ANSi's.  There should be a good   
       comeback next month though..
  
  7.   And in not so great news.. Cavalier, as i'm sure most of you know due
       to his "Shihear Sized" text file.  Has left the group as well as the 
       scene.  Bye, Cav..
       
  8.   I'd like to congradulate the *Former* iCE trial artist, Sand, on
       his step up into full member.  He's got a different style.  But
       it's great.

  9.   Great news here for all the ansi artists around.  And possibly a 
       revolution for ANSi in general!  Included in this iCEPACK is a
       file called "ICECOLOR.ZIP".  This file includes a TSR which when
       loaded will let you use the high intensity colors (8-15) as 
       background colors.  This CAN be used with TheDraw to draw ansi's
       like this.  Thanks go to Leviatian for programing this TSR..
       Check it out.  It is an early copy so if you find any problems 
       with it you can contact me and I can relay the message to Leviatian.
       For more info about it read the doc file that is included.
                                                                 
  10.  As an update on the FTP site topic.  The anonymous FTP site:
       "ftp.uwp.edu" has switched they're directorys all around.  So
       the iCEPACK's can now be located on the FTP site in the directory:
       "/pub/msdos/demos/ansi".  Note: If you are not farmiliar with the
       InterNet then you probably have no idea the all that means. :)
     
  11.  There is now an iCE Network.  It's name is iCN, standing for iNSANiTY
       Corporate Network.  The net has both a Public and Private side.  Only
       iCE Headquarter Board, Distribution Sites, and Member Boards can
       recieve the net.  And only iCE boards that are soley run by iCE 
       members recive the private side of the Net.  Call The Untimed 
       or his board "The Omerta" at 305-444-2928 to get more information.

  12.  Last but not least we would like to announce the arrival of Mr. Man
       into the group.

  13.  That's all folks!
