Index to AMPLINEX issues 013 -015 (Sept 89 - Jan 90)


Patrick Black
The headings to the Index are pretty well self-explanatory. Directory prefixes are used to indicate in which section an item appears on the AMPLINEX screen menu, as follows:
Directory prefixes
$ = Music
A = Introduction & Adverts
F = Features
H = Hints & Tips
I = Instruments
N = News & Reviews
Q = Questions & Answers
U = Utilities
All the '$' music files have now been gathered together in the 'M' section of the Index - it seemed more logical and the quote marks took up valuable space! Note the issue code M13 for files on the music disc sent with issue 013 (September 1989).
Questions and their answers often appear in separate issues of AMPLINEX, so the letters 'Q' or 'A' or both, are placed with the issue number, depending on whether the item is a question on its own, an answer to a previous query, or is a question accompanied by a response.
There is a ROM compatibility table, compiled from members' submissions, at the end of the Index.
