Please state the language the program is written in, i. e., Integer BASIC,…

Loosely translated, this means there can be no output without input and effort. 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.

If you need help, Call-A.P.P.L.E.. We will attempt to or assist you in solving you Apple-related problems and answer questions. If you stump us, we will try to obtain the answer from outside the group.
