BL/┤DE '94 Presents - The Edge: The Official B
lade Information File.

October

lks, another month, another pak. Heres the blade info file
for october 1994. We've g
ot somewhat of a lot to cover this month
so here goes.. First off, a quick note about th
e Whisper virus░█ ▌▐░█░    found in
certain copies of last months blade pak. If you have a
blade 0994 pak which contains the file
BV.EXE, please delete it░██▌▐██░    immediatly an obtai
n a new copy of the pak. The Whisper virus is
contained within the viewer. The virus came to me somehow, a
nd I    ░██▌▐██░    seem to have infected that file and sent
it with the pak.. So thats ░██▌▐██░    that, sorry for any
inconvience it may have caused.░██▌▐██░░██▌▐██░ 2)
This month, the virus free Blade Viewer will be released. We
are    ░██▌▐██░    rather proud of the viewer, and I congra
tulate morpheus on a job    ░██▌▐██░    well done. T
he viewer currently supports modes of 80x25 and 80x50,
as well as Sauce (tm) support, and a nice baud simulator.
In the    ░██▌▐██░    future the viewer will support RiP Vi
ewing, and possibly VGA ansi   ░██▌▐██░    viewing modes.
3) If you are interesting in writ
ing articles pertaining to Computer   ░██▌▐██░    hardware,
please contact StyX on his board (Terminal Frost
, 908-    ░██▌▐██░    236-2498) or MindCrime on
Eternal Insanity (908.224.8780). Blade
is accepting such articles for a future production to be an

) A few great new members this month... Modeus Khahn
comes to us from ░██▌▐██░    surge with his great ansi and f
ont capabilities. We welcome him and ░██▌▐██░    know he'll
be a great addition to the group. Also from Surge this
month comes Silence, blade's first RiP arti
st. This marks a new░██▌▐██░    step in blade production
s and we hope to include more rip artists   ░██▌▐██░    as t
ime passes. Also this month, we picked up a freelance artist
by the name of Kung Lao. His work is
amazing, and when I heard he   ░██▌▐██░    was groupless, i
jumped on the oppertunity to include his great
work with the rest of blade. In our lit department this mo
nth,░██▌▐██░    Crisis joins us from Eden (which
he is still working hard in as lit ░██▌▐██░    coordinator)
and brings with him some great literature talents.
In blade's first mark in the world of ascii, we welcom
e Mass░██▌▐██░    Destruction. His ascii
work is really cool, and we hope he'll be    ░██▌▐██░    ab
le to keep up the good work. Also this month, Bishop joins u
s░██▌▐██░    from Union. We look forward to seeing some
great work on his part.  ░██▌▐██░░██▌▐██░ 5) Blade is s
portin' a brand new application generator this month.
The layout and idea, as well as partial coding was
done by░██▌▐██░    Morpheus, while the bulk of
the coding was done by Mutated░██▌▐██░    C
hia Pet, a blade trial coder. The app is very original, a
nd░██▌▐██░    includes some great music and ansi's... Ch
eck it out, use it,░██▌▐██░    be one with it. It may ru
n really slow with SB, so just turn░██▌▐██░    sound off
if it does, or use the PC Squeeker.
6) I never actually took the time to formally announce the
blade░██▌▐██░    support network, so here goes. Speed N
etwork was concieved as░██▌▐██░    a full blade support
network, but has become much more. The net░██▌▐██░    is
invite only, and is available to all blade hq boards and si
tes.  ░██▌▐██░    It be kickin some major ass, and will keep
on doing so for quite    ░██▌▐██░    some time. If you run
a board and are interested in being 'invited' ░██▌▐██░    in
to speed net, call ei.░██▌▐██░░██▌▐██░ 7) In handl
e changes this month, Paendragon changes to Twel
fth Knight, ░██▌▐██░    and Silence will change
next month to Chapel.
8) Well folks, so wraps up another month. Hope
ya like the pak, and    ░█░▌▐██░    all the spif
fy things included in it. Next month we hope to have
even more cool things to show off <g>...
