›               o=o=o=o=o=›› MINUTES OF OHAUG MEETING 10/10/98›› JACK GEDALIUS opened the  meeting  by› asking  for  a review of last month's› meeting.  RON informed  members  that› at  the last meeting we did a demo on› the LES WAGER disk utility which is a› fantastic disk utility for recovering› bad files, bad disks, etc.  but he is› now on the 4th upgrade and is a great› programmer. RON modified the DOS with› this program and gave everyone copies› of the revised program.›› ALAN SHARKIS reported he has been  in› correspondence  with JOE HICSWA about› the   implications   for   the  ATARI› computer regarding  the Y2K  problem.› Joe  has  written  to the White House› and Senators about this. A discussion› then followed on program modification› and other factors affecting PCs.›› ALAN has also been in touch with  TOM› ANDREWS and TOM sent us a new version› of the Newsletter program which  Alan› will demo at this meeting.›› TREASURY REPORT:›› RON  FETZER  reported  that we are in› the black.›› DEMONSTRATIONS:›› ALAN SHARKIS demoed a disk  from  TOM› ANDREWS which is a new version of the› newsletter program.  When  Tom  first› sent  the  program, Alan noticed that› the original color scheme was set  up› in  AUTORUN.SYS,  and  thus  it would› appear briefly on the screen when the› disk loaded.  Alan told Tom about it,› and   Tom  immediately  sent  Alan  a› program   that   would   correct  the› problem.  ALAN ran  the  new  program› for  Club  members.   There were some› comments about the green color scheme› and  the  choice  of  colors.    JACK› GEDALIUS  would have preferred yellow› on brown, which  is  what  Alan  gets› with  his  130XE using the same color› codes that  give  everyone  else  the› greens.   Nobody else objected to the› green theme,  however.   The  program› code has been simplified with many of› the  comment  lines  taken  out.  The› Welcome Screen comes up  faster.  The› menu now substitutes a "change sides"› choice for the  print  configuration,› since  print  configuration  sets  up› from  Side  1.   The  title  has been› restored  to  the  top  of  the  text› window,   and  the  instructions  for› using keys and joystick to scroll the› text are now constantly at the bottom› of the screen.  Scrolling is from the› bottom  up,  and the last line of the› last page is repeated at the  top  of› the  next  --  a  great convenience. › Since   no   warning   messages   are› displayed  when  there  is  no  BASIC› program  to  run  from  the spacebar,› there will be a BASIC program on both› sides of each newsletter from now on.› Alan also  reformatted  the  HELP.DOC› file  so  that  it  has a much neater› appearance  and  the  few  errors  in› grammar   and   spelling   have  been› corrected.  Tom did a great job  with› the program, and Alan thanked him for› it,   as   did  the  assembled  local› members.›› DOORPRIZES:›› JACK  GEDALIUS  won  the  first  door› prize.› AL PEGLER won second,› MEL LEVINE won third.› HARRY TUTHILL won fourth.› AL SHARKIS won fifth.›› The  next  meeting  will  be  at  the› library  on  Saturday,  November  21,› 1998.››               o=o=o=o=o=››››
