[comp.sys.atari.8bit] A final plea for reviewers

jrd@STONY-BROOK.SCRC.SYMBOLICS.COM (John R. Dunning) (03/07/88)

Yes, folks, it's me again, looking for volunteers to help review
software for our favorite 8-bitters.  While the response was pretty good
for a while there, there's still about 1/2 the library, largely Basic
programs etc, to review.

In hopes of capturing your interest, I've included the catalog, below.
Please, if anyone's willing to spend an hour or too, let me know.
Otherwise I'm going to declare victory, and start getting the stuff
transferred to real archives, rather than my private ones.
