Excellent publication! Would like to see more articles on computers and maybe politics. How about adding more graphics?

Your wish is our command. More graphics have been added to the Departments section. Check them out and tell us what you think!

Very nice graphically. Only read some of the articles, but they satisfied. In all, an impressive journal and an expample of what can be done. As they say, Keep up the good work!

Help!

Hello Ian, I just received the January '94 issue of Teletimes, and I would love to read it, but I don't have "BinHex 4.0" to translate it on my Mac. I wonder if you could 1) send me a version of Teletimes that requires no translation, or 2) tell me where/how I can get hold of BinHex?

Thanks for your assistance!

Rick, there are probably quite a few people who are not familiar with the use of Binhex, so I shall explain it here in the Mailbox. Binhex converts binary (10101) files to ASCII (text) for transport through e-mail and to avoid problem with machines which can't handle MacBinary. Binhex 4.0 is available at most large Macintosh anonymous FTP sites (like sumex-aim.stanford.edu) and is also built into many utilities and communications programs like Stuffit, Compact Pro, Eudora and Fetch. If you cannot, for some reason, deBinhex the Mac version, I suggest that you subscribe to the ASCII version of Teletimes.
