<< ** >>¢ PRESIDENTS MESSAGE¢¢ by ALEX PIGNATO¢¢ By the time you read this, the¢ 3rd NEAR*US meeting will have taken¢ place in NEW JERSEY, with¢ representatives of ATARI clubs,¢ working to bring together the many¢ ATARIANS of all platforms.¢¢ Be sure to read JOE HICSWA's well¢ done report of his reaction to the¢ March 11th second NEAR*US meeting,¢ hosted by the OL' HACKERS. I can¢ assure you that a good time was had by¢ all.¢¢ Also read his report on the NEAR*US¢ meeting of March 26th, which for lack¢ of better accomodations was conducted¢ in PENN Station, Newark, N.J.. Would¢ you believe it, we were able to¢ accomplish all that we set out to do!¢ **¢ When I write this column, you¢ have noticed I'm sure, that at times I¢ write as President of OHAUG, and¢ sometimes as editor of the OHAUG¢ newsletter. Wearing two hats does get¢ confusing at times, so please excuse¢ the mix of presidents talk and editors¢ talk, O.K.? I try to bring you ALL THE¢ NEWS THATS FIT TO PRINT!¢¢ This month we bring you a¢ companion program to last months new¢ PRNTST20.BAS, also by our own TOM¢ ANDREWS. Look for REFRMAT2.CTB on this¢ disk. Its a program to give you the¢ ability to format text in any line¢ length you desire, regardless of its¢ original length, and to have it print¢ out justified. To run it you must have¢ a formatted DOS 2, or 2.5 disk, and¢ then you must first run RUNTIME.COM.¢ The complete documentation is also on¢ this disk. TOM has done a great job¢ for us 8 BIT'ers, and I hope you feel¢ his sharware efforts are worth a¢ couple of your bucks, so that he is¢ inspired to continue making great¢ programs. Those of you who used his¢ PRNTST20.BAS printing program, know¢ the value of his work, so lets show¢ him and other good programmers our¢ appreciation.¢¢ This months column is short¢ because I wanted to have room for text¢ as well as programs, such as¢ REFRMAT2.CTB, and RUNTIME.CTB. Even¢ though many of you have these¢ programs, there are others who do not,¢ and this newsletter has to cover all¢ our members! ¢¢ I want to thank, all our non-¢ local members for sending me different¢ disks, programs, and news. You can be¢ assured-you are partly responsible for¢ any success that OHAUG has over the¢ past 10 years. I'm proud to say that¢ we have not missed a newsletter¢ deadline for all that time. You can be¢ sure that your OHAUG newsletter will¢ be in your mailbox every two months,¢ come rain or shine!¢ ==*==*== ¢¢
