M E M O R A N D U M
TO: All Commodore 128 Users
FROM: SIG/M (Special Interest Group Microcomputing)
SIG/M is a joint undertaking of the Amateur Computer Group
of New Jersey (ACGNJ) and the New York Amateur Computer Club (NYAC).
It is a not-for-profit group that distributes public domain software
world wide.
As of February 1, 1986 SIG/M has in distribution 256 volumes
of 8" CP/M software (240 K each disk). These volumes range from
applications to utilities to languages, etc.
Volumes 800 and 801 are sample disks of programs for the
Commodore. Volume 800 has been provided by the SYSOP of the CP/M
SIG on Compuserve and contains modem programs for the Commodore. Also
from Compuserve and Commodore are instructions and an article on
updating C128 CP/M.
SIG/M periodically publishes a printed catalog of its software
and monthly releases an updated disk catalog. On this disk too is a
catalog listing of volumes from 151 to 256.
The companion disk, volume 801, contains utility programs
that we were able to run on the C128 with ease. Please try them -
and then examine the other volumes in the library that interest you.
Volume 801 also contains a list of regional distribution points for
SIG/M software.
One big difference between SIG/M software and some of the
programs you may have used. Public domain software has been contributed
by the authors for use of the public. Most of it works - and works well.
When people discover bugs or upgrade it - they are expected to release
the new program back to the public (that does not mean a new version
for every minor change). If you can't figure out how to use the
software - we suggest you join a user group and seek help there. Please
do not write either SIG/M or the authors to do your homework to teach
you how to use CP/M.
