First of all, I would like to wish everyone a Happy Christmas!
I decided to release the pack Christmas eve as a bit of a Christmas
special.  Not that many ppl, including myself are realy into the
'Christmas' spirit, but hey, its the thought that counts!

Since the last pack, a lot has happened.  DiE went on a massive
expanding and recruiting mission.  DiE is accepting *any* person
as a trial member.  The trial period varies from 1-3 months.  
If you get past the trial period, you will become a full
blown member of Australia's greatest ever Art group!  Apply at 
any Head Quarter Board.

While some groups are struggling, we are expanding.  I have decided
that there will be two DiE boards per state.  At the moment, we
have 2 boards in Western Australia, 2 boards in QLD, and 1 Board in
Victoria and NSW.

DiE has close relations with a *fine* demo group.  DiE and Breakdown 
are virtually one group.  To see Breakdown's latest work, call Breakdown 
BBS, on 555-9818, and download Killing Time.  This demo can also be 
found on most quality Boards.

We finally got an ANSi veiwer for the pack!  Thanks to Electron.  This
guy came up with a quality viewer with only 2 dayz notice.  Not bad!
Expect to see much more quality coding from this dude.

Expect some KeWl cracks from our new cracking section.  Comprised
of TeN, and Electron.  

Due to many a people's demand, we decided to start a Literature
section.  This Section will be headed by Zen Amako.  So if you 
feel the need to rhyme and bash some words, apply for the DiE
Literature department!

At present DiE is only doing ANSi for the better Boards in Australia.  This
is due to the large amount of requests we have been getting.  Once things
slow down a little, we will be willing to assist everyone.  If only we
had some competition that was at least a little bit popular :).  So if
you want an ANSi, contact any DiE Board or member, or send me mail at my
internet address.

DiE apologises for all the boards that requested ANSi but didn't recieve it.
What can I say, but when we get soo many requests, we just can't do them all.

Lastly, if you would like to join the leading force in Australian 
Computer Art and productions, call Violent Crimes, +613-562-1008
(NUP: BODYCOUNT) and upload some of your better work.  If you would
like to become a dist site for DiE, you must run an art related BBS, and 
again call VC to apply.
