OS-9 Users Group Membership Information
(data accurate as of 4/19/88)
The OS-9 Users Group is an international non-profit
organization of approximately 800 members (and growing) devoted
to exchanging and distributing information about, and public
domain software for, all available versions of the OS-9 Operating
system. The OS-9 Users Group is the only independent group
officially recognized by Microware (the developers of OS-9) as an
official voice of its users.
The OS-9 Users Group periodically publishes a newsletter
entitled "MOTD" which contains many useful articles, software
listings, and other information helpful in keeping OS-9 computing
enjoyable and rewarding. Other membership benefits include free
technical help referrals (by mail or electronic BBS) and
significant discounts on the purchase of individual volumes of
the OS-9 Users Group Public Domain Software Library. One year
memberships in the group cost $25.00 for individuals and $150 for
companies (corporate membership) and includes a 1 year
subscription to the MOTD newsletter, one free disk of public
domain software (archive set of entire Library for corporate
members), and the right to purchase additional disks of software
at a very reasonable cost. The group's public domain software
library currently has over 56 individual volumes of software
comprised of almost 300 individual programs. The library is
constantly growing due to the group's policy of sending one
volume (disk) from the library free for each individual program
donated by a member. For more complete information on the OS-9
Users Group, including a complete catalog listing of (and
ordering information for) all currently available volumes in the
Group's public domain software library, visit the OS-9 Forums on
either the CompuServe or Delphi electronic networks.
