[net.micro.amiga] Latest AMICUS news

wirch@puff.UUCP (12/12/85)

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.

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 :-).
