Welcome to the 4th root pack. As always, we try to bring out  the best in art scene talent that 613 has to offer, and this month was another suc cess. Yes, the pack is late as hell, but that's ok. We're including in this  month's editon all the work gathered in april and the first bit of may . Our next release will most likely be early july. This is basically becuase sch ool is coming to an end for another year (woo!(!@*&#) and everyone is short o n time. So, we'll release 2 packs over 3 months to ease the strain. This pack  is a bit smaller, but the quality is much higher (as usual) so plea se enjoy it.         ۲    new/leaving mem bers and changes  to the root staff           We gained a few new members in the last little while. First i s Spriggan, a gifted pure asm/c/pas coder who just happens to be good with ansi as w ell. Second is Kogg, a musician and hires artist who definately sho ws promise. We also took on Cyric as a coder. This month we also cut a few members for the first time ever. No one actually left, but we had to eliminate some members due to inactivity. So, we will say bye for now to Jet and Midnight Judge, as they seem to have fallen off  the face of the earth. Finally, the senior staff has been shifted around some as well. F light and  Dislogic will continue as Root's only seniors, since D efiant and Moleql have both left the senior staff. Both will remain with us (phew!) as artis ts.         ۲    this month's ne ws and cool stuff             The Root viewer has a name. Powder. Phear it. The actual pr ogram is now at the beta stage, and we should have a phully phunktional phearsome v erson in the next pack. NECROLYTE IS A GOD! =) The emag that Flight and Necrolyte are putting together is almost as r eality as well. F0cus 01 should be hitting local art boards within a month.  Once again, NECROLYTE IS A GOD! Dislogic was hit by a bus and flattened. Erm, actually, he's prefectly fine, but he seems to be like, dead. Either way, he  IS still around. Sorta. Yeah. We have music in the pack!!!)!@(*&# It doesn't happen much, b ut hey. =) Finally, we have to say hi to duke. This guy is just way too cool. Sending around trojans under the guise of something coded by Root members. No t cool. Everyone has heard way too much about the guy, so there is no need to really elaborate on him in this file. As a group, however, we'd like to make  it official. Duke, you have been fucklisted. Period.         ۲    notes from the staff               flight's notes Woah. I'm the only senior with anything to say. I'd lik e to apologize for how late the pack is, but hey. I'm the only one who ever puts the se damn things together. Excuse me for having a fucking social life. Bleah, anyhow. This month was pretty quiet in the end, since all of our members are so damn inconsiderate when it comes to dropping their social lives for root.  As a result, the pack is only average sized, though we're still improving . The quality is up again (of course) and we've got some new, and ve ry enthusiastic members. (Werd to spriggan) Anyhow, Personally I don't have much in t his pack as a direct result of a hectic real life, but I'm trying to lead by ex ample by only releasing work I'm happy with. Looks like I'm a bad example. But really.. The group is still moving right along, and gaining popularit y. I'm happy with what i see this month, as always. So werd to everyone who' s making root the best combination of success and fun that 613' s ever experienced.         ۲                 Well, that's it. No more. This month's infofile is really short, but  that doesn't matter since the pack's quality is probably our best yet. We are far from dead or dying, in fact we're getting better each month. so remem ber, we're the best. =) Anyhow, stop reading, bitz. There isn't anything else. See? You can't scroll down no more. Go look at the artwork, damn it!&@!#  .  SAUCE00pack 04 info The Staff Root 19970519L-P
