Introduction

No one found the DARK November Stealth Pack.  Frickin' buncha loopy-
fruit weenies.  No-skill havin' gearbox muck-rakers.  A pack on all
of you!

It was the best, too.  Yeesh.

It's late, and I'm rushing to meet a deadline, so please forgive any
mistakes or omissions.  I'll make it up later, I swear!A big, BI
G
thanks to 4th Disciple for all his work on this one, and Yggdrasil,
who's been working quietly in the background making connections we
so desperately need.You have my utmost respect (all of you).

DARK is currently undergoing one doozer of a shuffle, all of which is
for the better.  This past year has been a series of ups and downs,
each taking it's toll on members and packs alike.

However!  A fresh breath of inspiration seems to be passing through
the group, and '96 is going to be one HELL of a year.  A few of the
projects we've got lined up are as follows:

- The DARK L.O.R.D. In-Game Module Challenge.  (Wha'fahk?)  We'll
be issuing an official challenge to ALL groups out there, to
build a decent themed module for Legend of the Red Dragon.
Details will be in the January release pack.  I'll let you in on
a little secret:  DARK's '36 Chambers'IGM is gonna knock the
shit out of everything.

- Omyn magazine: Secret Project E-Mag.  BROAD article scope.
Keep 'em peeled, jack.

- Vortex. We've talked about this a few times, yeah?  Well, here's
the deal:  It's coming.  ;)

- ... Frick, I'm stumped.  I'll provide more in the 01/95 rele
ase.

In other news, DARK's Homepage has been a great success so far.  It
must be the magical combination of letters comprising it's URL:

http://www.io.org/~drasil

Now, in addition to this, the mighty Halaster has added to the DARK
Forces an FTP site, to be found at *this* magical address:

arppegio.res.cmu.edu

DARK Magic.   Nothing beats it.  (Rock! Nothing beats *rock*, fool!)

I'm probably forgetting shtuff, and I'll catch hell for it, but I'm
free-flying for the most part, so I'll just have to take the breaks.
*sigh*  Any questions can be e-mailed to omyn@inforamp.net,
or you
can call the restored DARK World Headquarters:The Lethal Aspe
ct.

(Notice the amount of work done for TLA?  This is a HINT to all DARK
*members* who aren't ^awake^ right now that they should be
calling
and keeping in touch! goddamn it.)

Ahhhh... ProZac.

All Dark files are still named as follows:

XXXXX-##.DRK

XXXXX represents five characters for an artist name.  ##
is a hexadecimal
number representing the number of releases that artist has made to da
te.
This file naming system is working out just fine for us and hopefully
other groups may find this new method useful with getting rid of the
multiple alias conflicts.  All are encouraged to use it.

Viewer Incompatibiliti
es

Several pieces of artwork produced this month are not compatible, o
r
do not work properly with DARKVIEW - the second Logo-BIN
, and the VGAs
in .JPG format drawn by desalvo.  Although the viewer will di
splay the
Logo-BIN, the full length will not be displayed.  The VGA's drawn in
.JPG
format are in drawn in 24 bit color, limiting display to professional
programs.  Our excellent team of coders is working on correcting thes
e
minor details for future Collections.

Now, to draw attention to our newbies:  runAmok, Hells F
ury, Burnout,
and Deaccessionjoin us in ANSI, Coding, VGA, and ANSI res
pectively.
Hells Fury flexed a little hand-eye muscle this month though, and
drew an ANSI you'll find in the pack.  We're hoping the best for and
from our new members.

Someday I'm gonna CATCH that fuckin' rhino!

I'm a freak.  I rave sober.

Jack, if we tangle, I'll make you say 'Uncle' so many times you're
*grandfather*'ll have to adopt me.

Uh-huh.  Right.  I'll beat you like I was your ex-girlfriend di
d.

You WERE my ex-girlfriend.
