1. Howdy everyone, this    ▄    ▒         ▌          ·    is  Lord Soth here,
delivering your monthly               ■     .       iCE Pack.   This month
has witnessed Tempus getting     ░              in  a  car  accident, Soul
Rebel losing close friends in a        car accident, and hardly comparable,
hard drive crashes by Deeply Disturbed,  Golgotha, and Incubus.   Our Best
goes out to Tempus and especially Soul Rebel.  As for DD, GL, and IN, feel
free to contact us if you want to  send them complimentary Tape Backups :)
I hope all our little  problems don't reflect in the quality of  the pack.

2. New Members:  We'd all  like to  welcome (in alphabetical  order):  Argon,
Frog,   Future   Assassin,   Hfaze,   Magnetic  M,    Neurotic,    Skitzo,
Tonedef, and finally Veks.

2½. This month  saw the  departure of Zer0,  who had some other things to tend
to in his life.

3. There are some great VGAs that aren't viewable yet in iCEView.   These are
the  all  the  JPGs:  IX-ONE.JPG,  IX-TWO.JPG,  LO-ICE01.JPG,  TD-FC1.JPG,
TD-FC2.JPG, TD-JOURN.JPG, and finally CG-TERMT.JPG.

4. This month there are two major changes in the Senior Staff section.   Both
Shaggy and Pnakotic  have stepped down.   Pnakotic  feels he  doesn't have
enough time,  as much as he  would like to remain  Senior Staff.   In case
you're worried,  he still finds Shaggy and myself very attractive.  Shaggy
has  stepped down to an Advisor  position,  ending his two-and-a-half year
Senior Staff career  (for those who don't know, Shaggy used to be known as
Metal Head).  Fear not fair maidens, neither Pnakotic nor Shaggy will stop
drawing.

5. I want to apologize for not listing in last month's pack that Sanctuary(tm)
has changed numbers.   The new number for  Sanctaury(tm), the iCE World HQ,
is 305-340-SUCK.
(7825)

6. We  have a couple  big coding  announcements!   First  off, we are  finally
unveiling  our  new viewer,  iCEView.  Cheers out to Friar Tuck for working
so  damn hard  on this, and no,  this is  definately  not the last  version
you'll see.   Also, due to  problems with  people adding virii to the packs
and  spreading them,  this pack sees  the  implementation  of CRC checks on
executable files.   You can  check all  the executable  files  in the packs
by  typing  CRCCHECK *.EXE.   It also will be  used on COM files,  although
in this pack  there are no COM files.   If any of  the executables fail the
CRC  check,  you can call  any of the  iCE Headquarter Boards  and download
the pack  for yourself.   We guarantee  that the pack on  these boards will
be virus  free.  If you  find any bugs in  iCEView, email  friar@netcom.com
with  the  subject  "iCEView Bug" and then  send a  filled-out  ICEVIEW.BUG
(which is included in the pack).   If you  have problems  getting your SVGA
card to work with iCEView, try running UNIVESA (also included in the pack).

8. I want to  thank all the iCE guys again  this month for doing  such a great
job!   You all get my "groovey-people"  award for this month.   Keep up the
great work guys! and Anarchy!
