The AMICUS Network, a national Amiga Computer User Network, has really taken off. AMICUS has accumulated several disks of public domain software, including the MicroEmacs that George Jones mentioned, and a nroff-like program called 'arrange'. Lots of ABasic programs from CompuServe and BBSs around the nation. Lots of examples of C code for doing menus, etc. The developer's disk is getting full, too, with downloads from the San Jose BBS. Remember, this disk is only available to registered developers, who send a xerox of their developer's acceptance letter. You can write to AMICUS at: Sight & Sound Music Software, Attn: AMICUS, 16 N. Carroll Street Suite 600, Madison, Wisconsin 53703. Just send a self-addressed disk mailer with your disks, and SASEs for copies of the newsletter. The newsletter is also available in electronic form, for user groups that want to duplicate it for themselves. I hope to post a copy of the December issue before I graduate. This is a very non-profit group, so your donations are appreciated. Rick Wirch

Could someone PLEASE take the time to separate the public domain stuff from the proprietary stuff, so us non-developer developer's can get have access to whatever is available. Commodore-Amiga, if you are listening, I suggest that you have two classes of developers, "assisted" and "registered". The "assisted" group is the current group, with the formal application, financial assistance in the form of reduced prices, and hot-line to your staff. The "registered" class is anyone that wants to be a member, now that they have already paid full retail for the system and all the software, and would allow access to the developer's BBS and source code supplied to "assisted" developers. (Better second class than left out in the cold :-). -Fred =========================================================================== Fred Fish UniSoft Systems Inc, 739 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA 94710 USA {ucbvax,dual}!unisoft!fnf (415) 644 1230 TWX 11 910 366-2145 ===========================================================================
