¢INTRODUCTION¢Futura Issue 13 - Summer 1994¢¢ Welcome Futurians to issue 13 of the NOSAUG Newsletter, Futura!¢¢ First of all, I must ask you to please note the new address for NOSAUG:¢¢ NOSAUG,¢ PO BOX 10001,¢ PETERHEAD¢ AB42 6ZN.¢ (SCOTLAND)¢¢ As many of you know, I have been busy moving house this summer. This caused an unavoidable delay in the release of this issue (which should have been out in May). I have therefore entitled this disk "Summer 1994" and will return to the usual bi-monthly release from now on. Futura issue 14 (Nov/Dec 1994) will be out in November.¢¢ If you've ever moved house you'll know how long it takes to settle in and catch up with things. I don't think I'll be moving again for quite some time!¢¢ I now stay in Peterhead - a large town 30 miles north of Aberdeen. It's nickname is the "Blue Toon" as the weather is supposedly very cold during the winter. I certainly hope not!¢¢ By now you'll have had a chance to use the new Futura menu system. I do hope you like it - DOMMenu is a wonderful program with many powerful features. The ability to display or print text files and run programs from the same menu was the main reason for the change from good ol' ViewDocs.¢¢ Please let me know how you get on with this new system. Should I keep DOMMenu or revert back to ViewDocs and a separate menu program? Should I include both DOMMenu AND ViewDocs? The choice is yours. For this issue I have included both programs.¢¢ Thanks to the many 8-bitters who have submitted articles and programs this summer. There is much to look forward to in future issues!¢¢ I must say a big "thanks" to Les Wagar of Alberta, Canada for the work he put into upgrading ViewDocs. The final version can be found on this disk. ViewDocs will still be the main document reader for NOSAUG PD disks. Many thanks Les for a job well done!¢¢ The NOSAUG PD Catalogue is now complete and will be released on 1st November. It will be mailed with Futura issue 14. As I mentioned in issue 12, it is disk-based and contains content listings and brief program descriptions. As you know, it has taken AGES to complete this catalogue; so much so that I now count disks to get to sleep! Please read this issue's Editorial for a NOSAUG PD message.¢¢ Enjoy the disk and keep booting that drive!¢¢¢Stuart J. Murray, NOSAUG. (30/9/94)¢
