1. Welcome to the April ░     ▐███  ▒  ▀    ▐█▌   ▒       iCE  Pack!   This  is
Cheese Grater here      ░   ██   ░     ░  ▀█   ░  ▀   writing to you for the
first time.  This month ▒  ■ ▀▌  ■     ▒    ▀     ■ we the Senior Staff were
joined again by Aphex   ▓   ▐▄         ▓       ░    Twin,  now  returned for
the summer from college. ▄    ▒         ▌          ·

2. We've had an influx of new members this month and what a great lot they are.
Asphixia  and  Grateful Dead have  joined us from ACiD,  also  Chromatik and
and last but not least the two brothers Grimace and Turtle.  To the VGA
Department we received Azagoth, Falic, and Jamie McCarter.  Also, Airborn is
a new Member, and our Web Master, White Knight, finally got listed this
month.  Gratz to you all!!

3. The iCE World  Wide Web Home  Page is now  fully operational!   It is  still
being  improved each  day, but you  can now enjoy  all the art  and graphics
from iCE.  From the iCE Home Page,  you can also access other members' pages
as well.   ANSIs from the most current iCEPack are also  viewable as well as
the VGA.  HTTP to http://www.wit.com/~ice

4. With the  new release of  iCEView 0.64,  it now supports some new  features,
such as  multiple file-tagging  and viewing.  But most  importantly, iCEView
now supports  external viewers.  This can be set up in the ICEVIEW.CNF file,
and allows you to do  such things as add in ability to  play *.S3M and *.MOD
with DMP,  *.JPG with Qpeg (the  recommended JPeg viewer*), etc.  This opens
the  possibility of  setting it up  to even run  Word Perfect on *.WPD, etc.
iCEView does not perform a CRC Check on the external viewers.

* Qpeg is available at ftp.wustl.edu   /pub/msdos_uploads/graphics

5. This month  we have configured  iCEView to run a  seperate viewer, PView, on
all pictures not  viewed internally in  iCEView.  This is in no way the best
viewer out there, although  it is very small and views  an ungodly amount of
formats.  But we  must warn you  that it can very somewhat unstable, such as
when under DesqView.  But  this month  iCEView now has  the ability to view:

JPG,TIFF,IFF,LBM,CUT,BMP,PCX,PIC,TGA,RLE,PCD,ICO,EPS,WPG,IMG,MSP,
MAC,RIX,VMG,FLM,PNM,PCC,PBM,ACBM,CEG,VI,DCX,RAS,PMC,ANI,DAT,SCR,
RAW,SFI,SGF,TXT,BAT,HLP,LST,SAT,CVP,FLI,FLC,DL,GL,SLD,AVI

Although, with the external viewer support, iCEView can  display, play, run,
hide, eat, and create an unlimited amount of formats :)

6. This  month sees the second  special release.  We are  releasing some of our
winning releases at NAID.  In the music competition, the top 4 winners were:
