Note: when you create a new publication type, the articles module will automatically use the templates user-display-[publicationtype].xt and user-summary-[publicationtype].xt. If those templates do not exist when you try to preview or display a new article, you'll get this warning :-) Please place your own templates in themes/yourtheme/modules/articles . The templates will get the extension .xt there.

Summary: A few words from the editor.
Body:
Welcome to the first issue of "C Vu", the magazine of the C Users' Group (UK). Before we go any further, I would like to say a very big thank you to all those people who have written for the magazine. Please keep it up! Details of how to get in touch with the group are to be found on the back page.
*** SPECIAL OFFER TIME! *** *** SAVE UP TO 40 POUNDS! ***
Our special HALF PRICE offer in our premier issue is from Analytical Engines Ltd., who are the UK distributors of the MIX C. The MIX C system was reviewed by Nick Walker for Personal Computer World this September. He said the symbolic debugger Ctrace (part of this offer) was "by far the most delightful debugger.... I actually found myself enjoying debugging!". "MIX C has a truly excellent tutorial which makes it probably the best buy for an absolute C novice"
Full details of the offer can be found on page 7.
Using C for adventure writing seems a very popular subject this issue, with two articles, one about ADVSYS from Martyn Dryden, and ADSHELL (an adventure shell) from Martin Houston. The source code to ADSHELL is presented here, and both are available from the CUG software library.
We also take a look, with Colin Masterton, at how to structure your C programs. Believe me, it really is worth the extra effort in the long run!
*** 1986 Members *** *** Please see page 27 ***
If you were a member of the original CUG(UK) you will know it had a somewhat shaky start, but we are now (as they say) "under new management". The C language is becoming increasingly popular, and CUG will support all levels of user, from proficient hacker (in the original sense of the word) to bemused beginner.
That's just about it from me, this time around (pause for communal sigh of relief!). Please keep the magazine material coming, and see if you can get a friend to join CUG(UK) before the next issue!
Happy Coding,
Phil J Stubbington
