This disk is almost all utilities. All rather large programs
also. As you will notice, we are getting software from just about
everywhere. The more the merrier, as they say.
1. This is a professional effort. What I mean is that
Laboratory Microsystems is selling this Disk Test program on
the open market. Yet, when I asked them if it would be
O.K.to allow our members to use this program, they said
"sure".(I have a letter on file). So folks, they have been
very nice to us and let us not abuse their kindness. Read
the DOC for the details of how to test your Disk Drives and
speak kindly of those nice guys at Laboratory Microsystems.

2. RAY PENLEY must have iron fingers. Look at this, his latest.
He said it took over 50 hours to translate FORMAT from the
UCSD version [had a few logical errors in the original prgm].
This is from the book SOFTTOOLS by K & F. It is also avail
from the 'BDS-C Users Group' in 'C' of course! For those of
you who can not afford a $500 Wordstar or even a $150
Tex Formatter this is just the thing. You'll have complete
control over the way your documents are printed. You must
have Pascal/Z vers 3.3 or later for this one!
3. A member called me from Denver and wanted to know what he
could for us. So I sent him a copy of this UCSD program
ahead of time. As a club or group, we should at least have
a standard way of printing our programs. So whenever or who
ever gets this Pretty-Printer converted I will offer it to
the group and ask that EVERYONE use it. It'll be our first
� group standard. I'll be asking Ithaca to ship it with their
future software as well.
