After much delay, The QBNews Volume 3 No 3 is out. You can get it in the following places: Receiving The QBNews The QBNews is distributed mainly through BBS systems around the world. Some of the networks it gets distributed through are SDS (Software Distribution System) and PDN (Programmers Distribution Network). Ask the sysop of your local board about these networks to see if there is a node in your area. The QBNews can also be found on CompuServe in the MSLang (Microsoft Language) forum. It can be found in file area 1 or 2 of that forum. Just search for the keyword QBNEWS. The QBNews will also be available on PC-Link. I send them to Steve Craver, who is the BASIC Programming Forum Host on PC-LINK and he will make them available. I would appreciate anybody who could upload The QBNews to other services such as GENIE since I don't have access to these. I have also set up a high speed distribution network for people who would like to download The QBNews at 9600 baud. The following boards allow first time callers download privileges also.
