Dear Reader,<p>


We've implemented a number of technical features this week:<ul>


<li> All articles, features, and press releases now carry a "format to print" button in the upper right of the page.  This prepares the document for clear and uncluttered 8 1/2 x 11 portrait printing.


<li> We've added over 200 developers to our Company Directory.  The list is at <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/companies.asp?a=typelist&typeid=3">http://www.directionsmag.com/companies.asp?a=typelist&typeid=3</a><p>


<li> For the over 50 companies in our Directory that are publicly traded, we've added a link to live Stock tracking.  You'll find this link at each Company's detailed listing page.  A list of all such companies is at <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/stocks.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/stocks.asp</a></ul>

There are a dozen new entries in the Map Gallery, at <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/mapgallery/">http://www.directionsmag.com/mapgallery/</a>  In particular, be sure to see the "enlarged" version of Marc Pelosse's excellent animation of population density in Quebec Province; this entry is at <a href="http://www..directionsmag.com/mapgallery">http://www..directionsmag.com/mapgallery</a><p>

Discussion of our recent review of Image Compression Software continues in our Letters to the Editor pages at <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/letters.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/letters.asp</a><p>


This week we welcome new advertiser the CADwire.<p>
