This section is where you can place small ads. They can be on any subject
that you like eg FOR SALE, WANTED, PERSONAL, MESSAGES, HINTS, TIPS ,USER
GROUPS etc. The only rule is that adverts must be submitted before every
issue of STEN. This is to rule out the possibility of the advertiser
dropping their service without telling us.
The adverts will be largely uncensored but obscene language and piracy
will not be tolerated!
Anyone who wishes to sell their own, home produced, software etc in these
columns may do so provided a copy is also submitted first to STEN.

SIMMS
¯¯¯¯¯
When I got my PC it had 256k SIMMS installed. I've since upgraded to 4 Meg
and have 4 x 256K SIMMS for sale.
These have had less than a weeks use and would be ideal for anyone wanting
to upgrade their 520 STE cheaply.
I am selling them at £10 a pair plus £1 to cover postage and packing.
Anyone interested should write first.

(NOT A) PD LIBRARY
==================
I have a growing collection of public domain discs (400+) and would like
to share them with ST users everywhere. I have them all listed to disc and
on receipt of a blank disc and a stamped addressed envelope I will send a
copy to anyone who wants it. Please bear in mind I am not a PD library,
just an ST(E) user who wants to share his collection with everybody else.
It is also a good way to obtain PD discs if your budget doesn't run to the
£2-£3 price that the mainstream PD libraries charge for their discs. I
would also hope it would be a good way to obtain new friends and contacts.
All my discs are double sided so single sided ST owners are out of luck
I'm afraid! If you own a singled sided drive get in touch for special
arrangements to be made, okay?
I will also swap any of my discs for any interesting PD that you might
have in your own collections. More details when you get in touch.
If you simply want my discs and don't have anything to swap for them then
you can obtain them in the following way:
1 For each of my discs you want, send 2 blank discs. ie
one for the disc of mine that you want and one for
myself. Also include enough stamps to cover return
postage.
2 If you don't have any spare discs and wish me to
provide the disc then I charge 90p per disc for each
disc in my collection. Please include return postage
in all cases.
Full ordering details are contained on my catalogue disc. Thanks for
taking the time to read this.

ALTERNATIVES
------------
There are now a number of PD libraries around which are run by enthusiasts
and provide users with software for next to nothing, and my service,
Network, is no differnt. I currently have around 300 or so D/s disks
including demos, games, utilities etc.. which are all fairly full with
some of the best in PD. I don't provide disks or sell the software, you
simply have to provide the disks and of course the return postage, there
is no charge in any way or form. If you wish to include software on your
disks then please do so, after all it's the easiest way to help the
library grow and to help others.
The return of software can take upto two weeks although this is due to the
fact that I will customise disks for you if you wish, I can even archive
programs for you and provide a suitable de-archiver and instructions.
The only limit on my service is that you may only order a maximum of TEN
disks at any one time, due to the fact that this is a free service run to
reduce the amount of money you need to spend to acquire free software.
If you are new to the ST and just need some help and advice then get in
touch. I am always happy to pass on what I know in any way I can. My
service is open to anyone including single sided drive owners, just let me
know your set up and I'll do my best to accomadate you.
For a copy of my latest software list please send a disk and s.a.e. to :

~ IMAGE ART PD LIBRARY ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMAGE ART is a PD library specialising in clip art, fonts, and art
programmes for the ST, although they are planning to expand into the PC
and Macintosh worlds very shortly. What makes them different from
other libraries is that they will supply printouts of all pictures on a
clip art disc for £1.50. This includes a 50p voucher redeemable against
any future order.
The library is being added to continually and contains IMG clip art,
GEM, Calamus and Pagestream fonts, plus selected art, picture conversion
and utilities discs. They also distribute specialist commercial prog-
rammes such as printer drivers for the Integrex 132 and Canon PJ1080A
colour jet printers, high-quality blanks for astrology charts, and even
"The General Equation of Physics Uniquely Specified Universe Model".
The latest catalogue is available for £1.50, and PD discs cost £2.50
each, with reductions for larger orders. All in all, a very well-run
library and one that we at STEN can recommend to anyone seriously involved
in DTP.
More details from IMAGE ART at 19, Brenda Road, London, SW17 7DD.
