<**><**>› PRESIDENTS MESSAGE› by ALEX PIGNATO›› A long overdue CHRISTMAS dinner› was held on March 14th, with 20 people› in attendance, including PAT MULVEY,› President of LIAUG. JOE HICSWA,› President of JACG in New Jersey, and› an OHAUG member, had agreed to come,› but nature in the form of heavy rain,› forced him to cancel his planned› motorcycle jaunt to join us. We missed› him. We were honored that 2 of the› only ATARI clubs in the area wanted to› join in the OHAUG festivities. ›› A funny (?) thing happened at the› dinner. I asked PAT to draw the first› raffle ticket, and while everyone› kidded him about NOT drawing his own› number, he stuck his big fist in the› basket. Yes, your right! He did draw› his own number. He told me it was all› on the up and up, so I guess I should› believe him, after all I was running› the raffle, and he hadn't offered me› any bribe. (grin)›› In this newsletter will be found› a new program from BELGIUM. ROBERT› DeLETTER, an OHAUG member, wrote the› program using Turbo Basic, and it is› an extremely well done program called› "MEMORAND.TUR". You must run Turbo› Basic (also on this disk) first. Once› again OHAUG comes through with a scoop› and a winner. ROBERT also wrote two› very long game programs with fantastic› graphics. Because they are so long, I› felt it would take up a whole disk› side, making non-game players feel› left out, so I did not use them. I did› however, demo the programs, and they› are now in our library. The name of› the main one is "CTULHI". My hats off› to you ROBERT, keep on programming,› you do have a talent. JOE HICSWA-Pres.› of JACG and OHAUG is well represented› in this newsletter. See his PRTSHEET.› BAS, that he made long ago and which› was modified by our KRIS HOLTEGAARD› before he died.›› Speaking of programs, I received› a couple of requests recently for good› programs to show and print pictures,› so I dug up an oldie, from a prior› newsletter, "PICPRNT.BAS" and put it› in this newsletter. I think it will› satisfy you graphics lovers, who may› have missed it. Note also that you› will find SPDSCRPT.OBJ and SPDCALC on› this disk-both with documentation that› I did not have when I may have used it› in a prior newsletter.›› In the same vein, I think you all› know that I look for usefull,› interesting programs, so if you› already have a program that is in one› of our newsletters, remember that not› everyone has that program, so please› be understanding of the purpose of the› newsletter. It is to bring new and old› info, and programs to ALL members. ›› In this issue, I tried something› new. I used the same program› "SUPERDIR.BAS" for front and back.› When you run it, you will understand› why. It has many great features, such› as printing out the menu, with the› program descriptions, just by hitting› the TAB when in the correct menu. A› wonderful way to know exactly what› each program does, by reading the› description that you yourself wrote› about it. As a starter, I wrote most› of the descriptions of newsletter› programs, articles, for you.›› I hope you enjoy receiving your› newsletter without fail, every other› month. I'm proud of the fact that we› meet our commitment to you, our› member. Bye for now!› * E^N^D * ›
