Editorial - QFN 19 / Autumn 1995.
==============================================================

Welcome to issue 19 of the newsletter, the fourth to appear
as a fully multi-tasking application on the Arcon platform.
(QFN is also availableon paper). Text and graphics files can
be supplied to PC and Mac owners, so if you know any fans
with these machines, then please pass on the info. Thanks.

Last issue I complained that there wasn't any "real" news to
report, but I'm happy to announce loads of releases and 
information this issue. There is the long-awaited final
album named 'Made In Heaven', the album launch party, the
video, the box set, the TV documentary and loads of other
smaller pieces which I've managed to cram onto this disc!

The bootleg section in this issue is again quite large, and
the paper version contains the example layout of the current
design of how I hope the actual finished QFN book look. It
will hopefully be published during the next 2/3 years.
Obviously the end format might change before the book is
published, depending on as yet unknown factors, but please
follow the example if you intend submiting anything. 

As QFN is also provided to PC and Mac users in a text and
graphic file format (without any custom software) the layout
of the example format for the book, may be incorrectly
displayed on these amachines. So, if you are a PC or Mac user
and seriously wish to contribute please telephone QFN on
(+44 UK) 01772 556117 and request the printed 'layout form'
for your convienince. It will be mailed to you as soon as
possible.

Or

Look inside the MISC directory for the 'Example' and
'Layout' files in the Bootleg directory for a completed
example file and a blank version for you to copy and
complete. (Then send to QFN of course!)  

I hope YOU can contribute to this book. It is going to be a
long project in the making and not something that I can do
without lots of help from other fans. It will not be rushed,
and appear overnight, so please be patient. It will however,
be worth the wait. 

Right onto some hard Queen facts...
Finally, the long wait is over. The final album has a
release date. What will it be like? Will it all be worth it?
How will they promote the release without a tour? All these
questions, and more will be answered by reading this issue.

Subscription details follow this information but if you
don't need them you can move through the newsletter.

So, I won't keep you any longer as I'm sure you can't wait
to find out about the new album. If fact some of you have
probably already moved to thr next area...

SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS
-------------------
If you would like to subscribe and get regular issues of
this newsletter, (Winter/Spring/Summer/Autumn), see the
information at the end of this file for details.

I would like to encourage any reader to contribute in
whatever form - articles/illustrations etc, and to submit
something for possible inclusion, as QFN is YOUR magazine.
As the name suggest, it's a magazine for fans of Queen and
about those fans, as well as containing news about the
greatest band ever - Queen! So make an effort - no matter
how small and you may well see your work recognised and
published in the premier Queen fan publication - QFN.

"Thank You" if you bought this issue of 'QFN'. I hope you
enjoy it and want to subscribe (if you haven't already!) If
you obtained this issue from a PD library then 3 months
sholud have elsapsed since the cover date, which allows QFN
to be distributed as PD. If this is not the case, then 
maybe you'd like to tell me how you did get hold of it!? All
replies treated in confidence.

Yet again there isn't much "real news" to report this issue
- no releases, solo or otherwise. But there are speculations
about the final album and some information about future
releases.

And finally... One very important thing before I forget -
please, please, please remember when subscribing to QFN to
make cheques payable to D.PARR and not QFN. My bank will not
accept cheques to QFN, and it costs me a small fortune in
postage/etc returning cheques which have the wrong payee on
them. Thanks.

If you've bought either a single issue or got this release
as PD after the cover date, and want to subscribe to get QFN
as soon as it's released, do the following.

1. Click the middle mouse button over the QFN 'crown' logo
   (the crown on the icon bar).

2. Move the pointer up & right over the word 'subscription'.

3. The current costs/etc will be displayed.

4. Depending where you live in the world will determine
   the number of issue you receive for the cost.

5. Clicking the toggle icon (top right of the subscription
   window) will display the QFN address and other
   information.

EXTRA
-----
You can of course subscribe for extra by doubling the fee.
All fees must be in multiples of 5, unless you send in a
Europcheque (Europe only), in which case you can pay for
extra issues on top of a normal subscription. Each extra
issue is 2. ie a European subscription is 5 for 3 issues,
but if you want to subscribe for 1 year and get all 4 issues
it's 2 extra. ie the total would be 7.

The only foreign currecncy I can accept is US dollar bills
(no checks). A yearly subscription for 4 issues in the US is
20 dollars. 

For more information, especially payment for overseas
subscribers (who can get single issues by sending me PD) see
the 'Help' file inside the QFN application. (Hold down SHIFT
and double-click on the QFN icon in the Filer window - NOT
icon bar one. Or use menu over the 'QFN' icon in a filer).

Or read the application 'QFN Soft' which details all Queen
software available from the QFN address. 'QFN Soft' is
located inside the 'Misc' section of this application -
click 'Return To Main Menu' on the 'Contents' page to see
the Misc icon, (once in the application). 

All back issues of QFN are now PD, and APDL, The DataFile
and 'The Arm Club' have all back issues and demos of all QFN
Software, but it may cost you the same to get a demo as it
would to get the full version current version direct from
the QFN address.

PD EXCEPTION
------------
QFN (this newsletter and subsequent releases) will only
become PD three months after the cover/issue date. To locate
the date of this or other any release, click menu over the
'Contents' page and move across to the 'Info' section.
The issue number and cover date are at the bottom. 

Issues 16 onwards (with the exception of this current issues
) are now PD, and available from PD Libraries, BBSs, or
direct from QFN. See the help file for details of how to get
back issues.
