Despite school and work taki ng its annual toll on the artist community, we still  have quite some news (and quite some art) r eady for your enjoyment. So sit down, strap yoursel f in, and get ready to expand your mind.

They were so polite an d always released on time, and they never, ever pai d disrespect to the fool and the weak. Well, after facing closer and closer deadlines each month, it soon became apparent to them that they would soo n become inable to maintain the high level of quality to which they had become accustomed. There were only two choices available : disband, scatter as le aves in the autumn wind and never look back upon their days in the ANSI sce ne again, or the second, which was to take their  combined talent to one of the few groups bigger th an they were, where they could relax and produce with out worries and deadlines. And it thusly that Integrity merged into ACiD,  in a move unseen since Gothic did the same, nineteen months ago. This of course resulted in a small flurry of member list changes and rearrangements in the ACiD hierarchy, but we will addre ss those below, in their proper place. The bottom line is that ACiD gained  a handful of very talented artists while losing competition, a double-bladed  bonus that only a fool would turn down. As to the process of merging its elf, perhaps ACiD should adopt a new slogan; "If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em."

We welcome them all to the group and can only wish them the success of their precursors and that they continue the lasting legacy of ACiD Productions, Inc. The Integrity merger brought to us a dedicated gr oup of outstanding individuals who will assuredly rally and continue their ma gnificent work for years to come beneath the bold new banner of ACiD.  Darkforce and Mage, the founder and f ormer president, respectively, of Integrity, retain some of their organizational responsibiliti es in the 604 area code, where Integrity was based, and in Canada in general, l and of polar bears and maple syrup.  Other new members coming to us from Integrity   would include Prophet, Heat Wave, Nitnatsnoc, and latecomers El Guapo , Ghengis and Treason.

Finishing off this month's list of new members, DJ Quad  joins ACiD in our information services division, as a designer of World Wide Web pages. He will work with  the rest of the AIS division's resources of hardware , software, and raw talent to give all ACiD members th e opportunity to stun and amaze the world with their o wn home pages run off of the ACiD server. Katharsis, the balance between the  pro   and con sides of issues, dictates that as we gained several members this month,  logically we must have also lost several. Who are we to  dispute  the  ancient  Gr eek philosophies? It is with that sense of fatalism t hat  we  present  you  our list of prunings and foreign matter. As was mentioned above, the fall comes as a shock to ma ny, who are forced to return to pressing jobs, school,   or  other obligations. It is as suc h that the modeming aspects of one's  life   are  often neglected once the summer end s, while others simply grow bored and lose  in terest. In any event, the following members were let go due to  inactivity,  non- communication,  and a general dumb silence whe n their activities were probed.

Mindcrime takes ov er maintenance of our net.  Halaster departs in order to revive his one-t ime Georgia-based art group Fire. Now THAT'S loyalty to a dead group. Two final victims of ACiD's new dual-grouping policy are Silver Rat and Black Guard, who simply couldn't abandon VOR to r emain in ACiD. They'll be missed. We here at ACiD would like to take a moment to re- state our policy regarding dual-grouping, that is, the practise of being in ACiD Productions, Inc., while filling the same position in another art group.  It's hurtful to both parties involved, and intolerable. So DON'T DO IT. Morpheus has been transferred from the programming depar tment back to the AIS division to help ACiD with vari ous aspects of the internet. During the past 3 months, Jazz has switched from coder t o telecom koder and back to coder. He likes to code, he likes to make kodes. .. decisions, decisions...

As such, we were unwilli ng to let the return of the ASCII revolution pass us by, and, as such, have created the ACiD ASCII division, run by Christopher Robin. The other members are Asphixia, Deep , MrK and Killa Hertz, and before the apps come flooding in we'd like to specify that for this particular division, due to the esoteric nature of the art medium and the need to preserve the utmost quality of this volatile ar t form, membership is limited to current ACiD members of other divisions and by invitation only.

All in all, we can merely state that history has improved upon itself, and that if we c ontinue along this trend, our music will continue to r edefine the upper limit of quality well into the next millenium.

In related news, ACiD View for MS Windows (16- and  32-bit) were both released in the July pack and have since been discontinued, while ACiD View for X-Windows, a similar yet completely different program, rema ins in production. Demand for the preceeding programs was slim, while the thir d shows a steadily growing user base. It is rumoured that full source cod e to ACiD View for MicroSoft Windows may be released p ublicly in the near future. Those of you on a SunOS, Linux, Freebsd and sysV platfor m are urged to try ACiD View for X-Windows, which is for Unix boxes. The structures of the operating systems and the usability of the program, which is an ELF binary, are such that together, they can allow the viewing of any size A NSI that will fit into memory. The viewing windows are very mutable and morph able, and a shell version is in the works, allowing you to view ANSI files remo tely.
