MacApp(tm) Developer's Association MacApp users are proud to announce the formation of the MacApp Developer's Association. Our goal is to provide technical support and information to our fellow developers who are using Object Oriented Programming languages. We will publish a regular (hopefully monthly) newsletter addressing the concerns of MacApp users. We will provide, maintain, and support an Object Library for developers. As a developers association we feel it is important to provide an informal electronic mail Q&A service for our members where you can get answers to your MacApp questions. We will provide support for the formation of local MacApp user groups. Our initial organizing effort is assisted by Apple Computer but we anticipate being a fully independent organization through your participation and support. We are looking for volunteers able to contribute to the above efforts. If you have an article, an idea for an object, or a tutorial to contribute to the newsletter you should contact Eric Anderson (addresses are listed below). If you wish to contribute an object to the Object Library contact Kurt Schmucker concerning documentation details. If you would like to participate in the Q&A service contact Greg Marriott or Scott Boyd. If you wish to form a a local support group or are looking for local support contact Carl Nelson. To receive the first 6 newsletters we are asking that you make a contribution of $15 to cover the costs of its printing, production and postage. Send your name, address, and check to the MacApp DeveloperUs Association. Details concerning access and distribution of the Object Library will be published in our first newsletter. Tentatively the Q&A service will be conducted using MCI mail. The cost to join is low, there are no connect charges and the price to send a short, well phrased question is a dollar or less; contact MCI at 1-800-MCI-MAIL to obtain an account. The MCI mail ID is MacApp Questions. [of course Greg and Scott are accessable from USENET, CSNET and BITNET] The most useful Q&As will appear regularly in the newsletter. We hope to hear from you and look forward to seeing you at our next meeting, to be held during the January 1987 MacWorld Expo in San Francisco.
