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.
