- DEMO COURSE
- -----------
-
- A user proposed to setup a course on programming demo's. Item's
- could be explained like basic graphics programming in assembler, making
- simple scrolls, colour cycling, simple vector graphics, making your own
- fonts, recommended literature, standard assembler procedures for
- playing music files (mod, voc, 669).
-
- If you're interested he's willing to try to set this up. But first he would
- like to know how many people are interested and if the demogroups are
- willing to supply him with information and assembler procedures.
-
- If you are interested in such a course or if you and your DEMOGROUP
- are willing cooperate please send a mail to GBRINK@NKI.NL
-
- --Perhaps a BOOK can be written in the future as a result of something
- like this.

- CLOSING COMMENTS
- ================
-
- --I hope to mail out a "Contact letter" to about 20 demo groups in
- EUROPE. There are currently 4 people acting as contacts. Anyone
- else want to be a contact. Hopefully a demo from the group I'm in
- will be released when I mail these letters out in a couple weeks.
-
- --This weeks DEMOSITE quote comes from a meeting I had:
- "Welcome to the world of Bureaucracy."
