Sometimes the problem is not what to write about, but what not to write about. Such is the case this month when we have a large number of items to report. Our software library is first on the agenda.

Examining the result, I was able to determine…

We would have to buy a large quantity, true, but we have to know how many we can handle before we approach a manufacturer. We feel we could do something for under $250.

As we indicated last month, we need your software for our library, in order to make it available to others. You can help cut down on our processing time by observing the following guidelines. All programs should be completely self-prompting. This means all user instructions should be embedded within the program as “print” statements, so the user can run the program Without any additional information at all. Please state the language the program is written in, i. e., Integer BASIC,…

In order to make this group a success, we need, member input in the form of both articles for the newsletter, and programs for the library. Have you found a sneaky thing your Apple does that is not in the manual? Let us in on the secret with a brief description or storyfor the newsletter. We also need to build our program library.
