********-=-=-=-=-=-=-¢ The following is a letter received¢ from the pen of a wonderfull fellow¢ 8 BIT'er, to whom the OL' HACKERS is¢ forever indebted for all his kindness¢ and help. His happiness with the fact¢ that his club continues to thrive, is¢ worth reading. I refer to the 8 BIT¢ LIBRARIAN of J.A.C.G. (JERSEY ATARI¢ USERS GROUP), namely SAM CORY. Sam is¢ a die hard 8 BIT person, who does¢ everything he can to suppert and ¢ spread all 8 BIT info and knowledge¢ like a little JOHHNY APPLESEED-THANKS¢ SAM!!!-EDITOR¢ *******¢ "Alex, HAPPY NEW YEAR-There should be¢ enough disks here to hold you for a¢ week. (Ed. more like a month than a¢ week. He continues as follows:)¢ If not let me know. I'm sure that I¢ can find more for THE OL' HACKERS !¢ Sam:¢ The stuff below is part of my¢ J.A.C.G. newsletter column for Jan.¢ 1992. The rest has yet to be birthed.¢ ¢ JAN 11, 1992¢ Isn't it nice to know we are¢ safe! Safe in: Our Newsletter Editor,¢ Dave Arlington; Our Meeting Hall,¢ Bell LAbs; Our New Officers; and¢ SAFELY THROUGH ALL OF 1991.¢ Admittedly, I would be very happy to¢ live many wonderful years like 1991.¢ Wish it for all of you. ¢ We have been honored. Phillip¢ Greenhut has been able to have Jim¢ Thompson who wrote WORD, GRAPHIC, AND¢ SPELL MAGIC release these to our 8¢ bit library as PD software. These 3¢ sides are on two disks of the month.¢ They are listed as JACG 241, 242.¢ Even though they are setup for Epson¢ there is an INSTALL(Basic) file¢ allowing any printer to be used. Jim¢ notes "EPSON FX-80 uses the Gemini¢ control codes", "I believe the RX¢ model requires a basic patch I¢ included with the Install disk". Phil¢ is a strong advocate of this word¢ processor system, and will give¢ anyone who is stuck his expert help¢ over the phone 1-201-992-4928. I¢ expect him to demo the system at this¢ Jan 1992 meeting. Phil states "It¢ will do about everything except¢ double columns simply, and easily". ¢ ATARILY,¢ SAM¢ ¢ (NOTE: The above programs make a great¢ startup set for beginning ATARI users)¢ ¢ >>>>>>>end<<<<<<<<¢
