| A little tab will do you in PipeDream | For the most part, Z88’s PipeDream is fairly simple to use. However, the use of columns and the TAB key seems to be a regular cause of confusion, as was brought to my attention by a reader’s recent letter. | Cambridge Z88 |

| Datatronics 2400P Modem Review | I recently bought a new 2400 Baud pocket modem to use with my Z88. A pocket modem is just a smaller version of a full size modem. They are approximately one quarter the size of a standard modem. The modem’s dimensions are 5 inches by 2.5 inches by 1.12 inches. It weighs 0.33 pounds. | Cambridge Z88 |

| Merging Archive and Abacus Files | For most QL users the first Psion program is Quill. Later they brave ARCHIVE and ABACUS. A big let-down is discovering that Merge means something different in each program. ARCHIVE data files and ABACUS files do not merge. | Sinclair QL |

| QL Emulator for the Amiga and Some Miscellaneous Ramblings | Yes, for those of you who may not have heard, there is a QL EMULATOR for the AMIGA hardware platform. The version of the Rainer Kowallik’s [Berlin, Germany] emulator software (YES, software!) which Nazir Pashtoon and I tested on two AMIGA computers last summer must currently be considered a beta-version for most North Americans. | Sinclair QL |
| Some More Ideas on How to Create Multiple Columns in Z88 Pipedream | I will describe how to create these articles using Z88 Pipedream for a single page. This also works for multiple pages although its a little more tedious. The first thing to do is change the width of Column A with <>W to 40. Then set a right margin of 38 with <>H. | Cambridge Z88 |

| The GEnie Information Service | Those of you using modems may or may not be aware of the large Information Services available to you. Most likely you can access them with a local phone call if you live near a city with a population of 50,000 or greater. The most famous is probably CompuServe. This is a very good service. | Cambridge Z88 |
