Running BOOKSHLF v1.0 BOOKSHLF by Jim Coleman Sysop, MLPNet Central (360)876-1639 -1650 With literally HUNDREDS of text files online for public consumption, MLPNet has long been recognized as an important resource center to the student, professional, or writer. With THREE Reading Rooms online, MLPNet offers a wide variety of material, from Clinton jokes to guitar chords for your favorite songs, to CD reviews, to technical texts, to the limits of your imagination. In addition, MLPNet Central has forums for writers. By 1992, Jim Coleman had ¼ MILLION words on the literary market. The pace slowed down due to a very serious motorcycle accident, but 1995 will see three full-length novel manuscripts by Jim Coleman travel over agency desks. This door was written to encourage us to bring out those expressions which reside within us all, and absorb those brought out by others. AVAILABILITY: BOOKSHLF will be publicly released once I complete the setup program and all the external testing is completed. ┌───┐┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ √ ││ MLPNet 'SCRAPER │ └───┘└────────────────────────────────┘ Introducing Jim Coleman's ▄█╗ ███████╗ ██████╗ ██████╗ █████╗ ██████╗ ███████╗ ██████╗ ██╗ ▀═╝ ██╔════╝ ██╔════╝ ██╔══██╗ ██╔══██╗ ██╔══██╗ ██╔════╝ ██╔══██╗ ██║ ███████╗ ██║ ██████╔╝ ███████║ ██████╔╝ █████╗ ██████╔╝ ██║ ╚════██║ ██║ ██╔══██╗ ██╔══██║ ██╔═══╝ ██╔══╝ ██╔══██╗ ╚═╝ ███████║ ╚██████╗ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ██║ ███████╗ ██║ ██║ ██╗ ╚══════╝ ╚═════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚══════╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ ╚═╝ where climbing the ladder of success gets downright nasty!

We've decided to hire you, based on the information you provided in your resume! Climbing the ladder of success in this company is long and hard. Unless you want to work on the ground floor or in janitorial the rest of your life, you've got to find a way to get to the top floors. Rumor has it that the President and CEO of this company has terminal cancer and EVERYONE is fighting for his job! I started on the bottom, too, and look at me now. It was never easy. Sometimes, I had to do some pretty unethical things to stay afloat and in the running here for promotion. I had to lie, sneak around, and even sleep my way up, at times. But, I must caution you, there are laws against sexual harassment, so I wouldn't recommend that as an option. You'll be given a retirement account and can accrue sick days, vacation, etc. Be CAREFUL how you use these resources, or you may lose them all and find yourself cleaning toilets. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ TOP SCORERS in Jim Coleman's MLPNet SCRAPER! │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Last winner: JIM COLEMAN KEVIN LAWRENCE 3452 Ad Manager 05/14/95 CARL BLAKEMORE 3391 Marketing Director 05/21/95 JIM RICE 3233 Shift scheduler 05/22/95 KEN REYNOLDS 1628 Inspector 05/12/95 BRIAN MCNETT 673 Duster 04/28/95 TANGLED UP IN BLUE 301 Errand boy 05/07/95 GREG LANTZ 280 Sign Painter 05/23/95 JIM COLEMAN 50 Programmer 05/22/95 KEITH ANDERSON 0 FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 04/21/95 AVAILABILITY: $15.00 Shareware.

Neil Young sings 'Birds' in the background, the fire crackles from the fireplace, your cat purrs in your lap, and a glass of Chablis mellows on the end table beside you. Suddenly, your entire world is upthrust as an earthquake hits with astounding force! The silence is shattered by a roaring as if from a thousand racing trains. Thirty seconds seem like thirty days and by the time the shaking stops, you feel as if you have aged ten years. The power flickers, but doesn't fail and within minutes, a news bulletin flashes over the television screen. Moments later, CNN news crews scramble to CalTech and Kate Hutton appears on your screen. You know then that the phone will ring. You are a seismologist and though you are now doing other things, you just KNOW that they are gonna drag you out of retirement for this one. As you consider that fact, another earthquake rips your world apart. Your phone rings. Your electricity fails. You are all alone in an unstable world. You quickly inventory your resources. You have: CASH -- 1000 dollars HEALTH -- 100 points MEDICINE -- 10 vials EXPERIENCE -- 100 points Your skills and experience are going to be tested as you race to the fracture zone. Other AFTERSHOCKS or even MAINSHOCKS may occur anywhere and at any time! You may have to purchase plane tickets to fly to a new quake zone, or you may have to help a wounded victim. REMEMBER, in a quake zone, MEDICINE can be worth FAR more than money! It is imperative that you spend your money and your time wisely. If you are careless, you could become a victim yourself!

A tremendous amount of earthquake information is at your fingertips, including statistics and explanations, informative discussions by some of the world's leading seismologists, earthquake preparation texts and survival guides, texts on victim extrication from heavy debris environments, local Port Orchard/Bremerton/Seattle hazard/ event updates, and a WHOLE LOT more! And, I wrote this program to be DYNAMIC, meaning it has the capacity to change and grow on a daily basis. There are no size or content limitations. Local Bremerton and Seattle news media are already using this door and accompanying programs. I'm receiving more support and assistance from seismologists all over the country with this project and am particularly indebted to TED SMITH, with the California Division of Mines and Geology. YOU CAN ALSO ACCESS MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK information through this door! From current fees to road closures to calendars of park events, the MLPNet QUAKE door provides this to you, and MORE! From the history of Rainier as a young volcano to the relatively recent climbing history to its current seismicity/alert status, we bring you the information you need. And, as if that weren't enough, the status of other significant Cascade Range volcanoes are also tracked and information is presented. In the Mount Rainier Sub-Board, you can find additional information on Rainier's dangers and concerns, including information on hypothermia, avalanches, wild animals and native plants. The door presents a TIME-CLOCK, giving you the PRECISE number of days since the last major Seattle area earthquake. It gives you the EXACT number of days since the major St. Helens eruption and, soon, the number of elapsed days since Rainier, Baker, Hood and Shasta last erupted. We may even start counting down the number of days until Lowry can be booted out of the governor's chair, just to keep things hopping! Peter Bueschen, author of NORQUAKE.ZIP, and I have been talking a lot lately about the need to educate and inform the public who live in quake-prone areas. Like Peter says: "People sleep every night with that big heavy bookcase right beside the bed or over their heads and think nothing of it . . . until it lands on top of them." Our Seattle area is FOURTH in the nation in seismicity. True, major quakes don't happen very often, but when it comes to part of your house caving in on you and crushing you in your sleep, once is enough. Be prepared. Stay informed. Use the QUAKE door and MLPNet resources to educate yourself and those around you. Stay tuned for our field trips to Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens! A RESCHEDULING of the Restoration Point site may be made soon. Many of you may remember that I had seismologists and geology experts and many from Foundations in Science (then SciFacNet) set to converge on this historic, local earthquake site July 22, 1993. Unfortunately, I was hit by a car just TWO DAYS before that was to occur and am still disabled as a result. I'll cross my fingers that I might heal quickly and be up to the trip sometime this summer. (Meanwhile, you can download GIF images of the uplifted beach, photographed by myself on an earlier trip. ;) QUAKES and NASA are what we do, and NO ONE in this community does it better! Stay tuned for further exciting developments. (Shhhhhh . . . they are still secret, but are coming soon!) MLPNet Central--Home of the QUAKE and CASINO doors!

It means a better file selection. It means perpetual storage. It means history, for you history buffs. It means NO DUPLICATE FILES! Most of you know that MLPNet has nearly a full gig of hard drive space, 800 megabytes. Now, with the latest from NASA and the USGS, plus all the other exciting file areas I sponsor here, the drives fill up FAST! It takes about five to six months to completely fill up the space, and that's with only 20 MEGABYTES reserved on drive D: for my own use! Everything else in this computer is dedicated to MLPNet. Bill Velez, a good friend of mine, who was sysop of The WINGS BBS here in Port Orchard, had over 10 GIGABYTES online! Whew! But, he also confided in me that at one time, he had OVER TWELVE THOUSAND DUPLICATE FILES!!! You won't find that here at MLPNet Central. When I bought this board way back when, the kid that was running it had four versions of this game, six versions of that game, eight versions of this program and five versions of the other program. It was a MESS, and took FOREVER to clean up! (I finally ended up just deleting EVERYTHING off the drive and reinstalling the BBS from scratch!) Here at MLPNet, I have about 12 CDRoms that I have pulled from. I take what I consider to be the best off of each one, and copy it to my hard drives. I check CONSTANTLY to make sure there are few, if any, duplicates. Then, when all is done, I take my computer in and have a CUSTOM CDROM made. When I get home, I reformat both drives, reinstall the board from hard drive backups, and then have a LOT of writeable media again! ╓──┐ ╓──┐ ╓─┐ ╓──┐ TONS of NASA related files! ║ │ ╟──┤ ╙─┐ ╟──┤ OVER 5,000 GIF IMAGES, most relating to NASA/QUAKES! ╨ ┴ ╨ ┴ ╙──┘ ╨ ┴ ╥──┐ ╥──┐ ╓──┐ ╓──┐ ╥──┐ ╓──┐ ╓─╥─┐ ╓─╥─┐ ─╥─ ╓──┐ ╓──┐ HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS ╟──┘ ╟─┬┘ ║ │ ║ ─┐ ╟─┬┘ ╟──┤ ║ ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ ║ │ ║ ─┐ of Source Code ╨ ╨ ┴ ╙──┘ ╙──┘ ╨ ┴ ╨ ┴ ╨ ╨ ┴ ╨ ╨ ┴ ─╨─ ╨ ┴ ╙──┘ snippets! ╓──┐ ╓─┐ ───┐ All the LATEST, all the BEST! ║ │ ╙─┐ ╓──┘ *YOUR* OS2 source! ╙──┘ ╙──┘ ╙─── An active OS2 conference! ┌───┐┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ √ ││ MLPNet's DSNEWS! │ └───┘└────────────────────────────────┘ One very OBVIOUS feature of MLPNet you won't find on most other systems is our custom newsletter. DSNEWS (the DS stands for "DarkStar" from back when we were the DARKSTAR ... BBS) is a provocative, informative newsmagazine published EACH AND EVERY MONTH for the past 32 months! Bill Velez (former sysop of WINGS) scoffed at my first issue, saying it would never last. "You'll lose interest in it, Jim. You callers won't care; all they want is files. REAL FILES. Who cares about text files? Who will care what's happening with your board?" Well, I proved him wrong. With WORLD-WIDE circulation now, DSNEWS is quite a hit! It's been downloaded MANY THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of times over the past three years, and people still routinely download old back-issues! With all the valuable information contained in these issues, an ONLINE CATALOGUE exists on MLPNet, enabling callers to look up past articles, etc. Even when I was hit by a car and nearly killed (July 1993) DSNEWS continued and HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED LATE. Not one issue has been missed in 32 months! Yes, Bill . . . it's amazing, it's astounding . . . it's DSNEWS!!!
