Where does the month go? We've been so busy working on Big Blue Disk #34
that we lost all track of time. We hope that your Summer is going well, that
you haven't gotten sunburned too badly, and that you've still found time to
enjoy Big Blue Disk.
Actually we have been working so hard on this issue we almost forgot one
important thing . . . everything must fit on two 5 1/4" floppy disks! The
program content of Big Blue Disk is usually comprised of software submitted
by programmers outside the company with one or two pieces written by the BBD
staff. Thus, when we plan an issue most of the programs are finished and
won't grow very much at all. We customarily allow some additional space just
for those last minute changes that might crop up and cause a program to grow.
Otherwise, we can pretty much plan on everything fitting just as we laid it
out.
This month was a different story. You will notice that all the programs
were either written or converted from other machines by a member of the staff.
Our schedule requires us to establish issue content about six weeks before
the final version is produced. When we initially set this issue we thought
there was going to be enough room for everything. We were all just a bit
amazed when we gathered the programs together and found that we needed more
space than was available on the disks. With a few last minute adjustments, we
were able to include all the software we wanted. You will be able to run all
the programs from the menu, but should plan on moving the ones you will be
working with most to separate floppy disks.
We look forward to seeing you next month!
