I recently posted a request for Tektronix 4695 and 4664 printer/plotter drivers for my Apollo DN4500. The very few responses said I should check on a recent ADUS tape for these and similar utilities. I called my local HP/Apollo sales rep and he didn't know what the hell ADUS even was (and a tape? forget it)! How can I get the ADUS tapes?

ADUS is the HP/Apollo workstation users' group. They maintain a software library which currently occupies at least 4 60 MB cartridge tapes. The library will be online and available for anyone to copy at theAuguest 4th-8th ADUS conference in Sandiego. Both cartridge tape and 8mm Exabyte drive will be available. Blank tapes will be available for purchase at the conference at cost. Pre-made tapes will be available, too. Price will probably be about $80/tape -- well worth it when you consider that the cartidge tape drives take about 1 hour/tape. Dave Shaw, the ADUS librarian, is currently reformatting the entire library to make it easier to find and load particular programs; and he is also testing that they work at SR10. He can be contacted at "librarian@adus.ecn.uiowa.edu". If you are not currently an ADUS member, you can join by calling Andrea Woloski or Carol Relph at 508-256-6600. There is no cost to being a member, although the annual conference has a registration fee of about $350 (less, if volunteer to give a talk -- hint, hint). == David Krowitz
