People often have more time to devote  to the persual of their hobbies, such as cleverly arranging coloured bloc ks, wheras others find the long lazy days of summer t he perfect time to 'get a life' in the real world. As such, our memberlist is radically varied from our spring roster. ° °ßß°ÛÜ ° ß²ßß°ÛÜ °ß²  ²ßß ²ßß °±Û° ±Û ± ±Û° °Û± ±Û ° °ÛÛ °ÛÛ °Üܲ  ÜÜÜܲ²Ü²° ²Û² ²Ü² ° ²Ü² ²Ü²°  °Ü² °Ü²² ÜÜßß Û ÜßÛ  Û ÛÛÛ ÛÛÛ ÛÛÛßßßßß ÛÛÛ ²ÛÛ °² ÛÛßßßßßßßßß ßßßßßßßßßßß²  Û ßßß ÛÛ² ßßßßßßß ßßßß ßß²ßßßß Û  Û°° °°ß²ßß °²  ²ß²ßß²ßÜßß²ßÜ °ß²ßß°ÛÜ °ß ²ßß²ßÜßß²ßÜ ° ß²ß߲߰ °ß² ßß°ÛÜ °ß²ßß²ßÜ ²ß²ßßßßß   °±Û° °ÛÛ °Û° ±Û°  °Û± ± Û° °ÛÛ °Û ° ±Û° ° ÛÛ ±Û° ° Û± ±Û°  °ÛÛ ßßßßßÛÛÛ°  ²²Ü²° °Ü² °Ü² ²Ü²° ²Ü² ²Ü² ° °Ü² °Ü²  ²Ü²° °Ü² ²Ü²° ²Ü² ²Ü²° °Ü ² ²Ü²° °Ü²²  ßßßÛÛ² ²ÛÛ °²ÛÛ ÛÛÛßßßßß ÛÛ² ²ÛÛ °²ÛÛ ÛÛÛ ²ÛÛ ÛÛÛßß ßßß ÛÛ² ßßß ÛÛ² ²ÛÛßßßß ß ßß ßßß ÛÛÛ ßßßßßßß ßßß ßßß ÛÛÛ ßßßßßß ßßßßßßß ß ßßßßßßßßß ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿  We begin our list ing of the new members of the ³Þ²ÛÛßß ÜÜܲÜܲÜÜÜ ßßÛÛÛ ݳ  ACiD ANSI drawing club with the return of a n old ³ÞÛß Ü²ÞÛÛÛÛÛßÜÜßÛܲÜ ß ²ݳ  friend; Crime  Lord , who has finished his ³ÞÝ °ÜÜÜßÛÛßßÜßßÜÜ Û²²  Þݳ  sabbatical and returned to ACiD to once more ³Þ ÞÛÛÛ Ü²ß . ßÛÜÜÛÛÛ²Ý Ý ³  impress us all with his ANSI drawing ski lls. ³ ßÜÜßÝÝ ß ܲ ÞÞ ÛÜÛ²²± ³  In the confusion surrounding Union's staged ³Þ Þ°Û ÜÜÜÜ ßß ÜÜÛÛÛ²²±Ý  ݳ  death and ressurection we acquired the ser vices ³ÞÝ ²ßßÜÜÛÛÜÜ ÛÛÜÜßß²±° Þݳ  of one Neuros is.

After the release of our premiere musicdisc Phluid ( see below for more details), our staff of musicians be came justified at last. To match the demand for more and better music came more and better musicians. Jo ining the talented (and previously silent) ranks of ACiD Music are three  harmonious young fellows: DJ Bean of Epinicon made a glissando from  CIA to ACiD; Lord Pegasus of Kosmic packed up his metronome and came to ACiD from  iCE; and Sonic of Radical Rhythms, perhaps better known for his ANSImati on days in ACiD, returns to us bearing tunes instead  of toons. ACiD's legacy of VGA artists who are tattooists began wi th CatBones, whose appearance in the scene shocked and elated many. It was th en followed by his comrade Icto. Now the circle is  completed by the acceptance of Sprite, Catbone's girlfriend and fellow tattooist, into our VGA -drawing division. Hopefully she will make as big a splash in the scene as her  amour did several months ago. Also joining us are  Skyhigh from Union and  Kosh, a renderer fro m mOp.

It i s available in two modes, 16-bit and 32-bit, and there are plans for a po ssible Windows '95 version pending Microsoft's distr ibution of the above. It was originally created to span a rapidly-widening gap between Windows-only  Internet software and DOS-only viewing software, and it serves that purpos e at this point in time. It may never match the DOS-b ased version of the viewer, but it is the only product in its class.  ß߲߰  ßßßßßß° °ß² ßßßßß ßßß °ß°ßß°Û ° ßßß °ß²ßß ßßß Üß²  °Û °ßß°Û° ±Û° ÛÛÛ ÛÛ°  ±Û° ± Û± ÛÛ° ±Û ° ÛÛÛ°ÜÜß² Üß ÛÜß² ° ²Û² °²Û± ²Ü²° °Ü² °Û ² ²Ü²° ²Û² °Û² ²Ü²° °Ü²²ÜÜßß Û ßßßß ßßßß ßßßßÛÜÛ ÛÛ²  ÛÛÛ ²ÛÛ ²Û² ÛÛÛ ÛÛÛ  ²Û² ÛÛÛ ²ÛÛßßßß  ßßßßßßß  ßßßßÛÛÛ  ßßßßßß ßß ßßßßßß ßß  ßßßßßß  On the system modifications front, the ACiDic Oblivion/2  team has released two new packages to help spiff up   your  oblivion/2 bulletin board sys tem.

Well, it seems that we must endure another three months of ce lebrating, for the former first-prize winner had appar ently broken the contest rules by using non- original artwork, and was disqualified, leaving our own Visigot h the new first prize winner of the NAID Graphics compo, once more proving that sometimes you have to wait a few months to discov er what you've actually got under all that talent. Please excuse the gratuitous usage of the word "groovy" in this quarter's newsletter. If you have been offended, go wax my butt.
