SIG/M is an interest group of the Amateur Computer Group
of NJ, which meets at either Union County College or Rutgers here
in NJ each month. They have several user's groups involved with
the IBM-PC, VIC-20, North Star, and other computers, as well as
interest groups in Pascal and CP/M (SIG/M).
The ACG-NJ is probably the largest computer club in the
US now. It numbers well over 1000 members, supports the SIG/M
distribution system, and runs two remote bulletin board systems.
To contact the RBBS's of ACG-NJ, the phone numbers are
201-272-1874 in Cranford and 201-932-3879 in Piscataway.

Dear Rick:
Thanks for the plug for SIG/M and ACG-NJ. I wish to just
correct you on one thing. One does not have to be a member of ACG-NJ
to order or copy SIG/M disks. This service is offered to both members
and non-members at no extra charge. Also, SIG/M has now released
85 volumes. A copy of our printed catalog is $1 or $1.50 via mail.
It can be ordered from: SIG/M, Box 97, Iselin NJ 08830.

Yes, SIG/M is quite different from CPM/UG. It is a whole
different set (close to 100 by now) of disks, all public domain
software. They have a catalog to facilitate scanning and selec-
tion of software, and a number of their better programs are on
MIT-MC now.
Lifeboat's (or whoever's) CPM/UG occasionally lifts SIG/M
software for inclusion in their own disks. Among other things,
SIG/M contains ZCPR1, 1.4, and 1.6, as well as SYSLIB and, soon,
the new ZCPR2.
SIG/M can be contacted at:
