In my quest for a screenlock for a Apollo DN3000 I have got
the hint from David Krowitz that I should
>Look at the 'gone' program in the ADUS library.
Unfortenately, he (or you, for David) didn't mention the address
of ADUS (a collegue told me it is an firm). I will be delighted
if someone could tell me the name of this firm.
Further, David told that it worked (probably) with spm calls.
But these calls only works for black and white monitors, at least
the documentation tells me so. We have here also colour monitors
and it would be quite convenient if the same program would work on
both types of monitors. I wasn't too specific about this, I'm afraid.
As matter of fact we also have nearly every type of computer Apollo
supplies (3000's, 3500's, 4000's, etc). I guess that won't make the
difference.
So my questions are:
- Does anyone have the address of the firm 'ADUS'.
- Does anyone (apart from ADUS) have any experience with screenlocks,
for any (apollo) monitor.
Please email me, eventual previous emails were not received due to some
trouble with the address of my machine.
Thanks in advance,

Three weeks!! But the sign on the shop says 15-and-a-half minutes cleaning!
It's just the name of the shop, dear.

Hi, I tired to mail directly to you but the mail address in your header is not correct. Anyway, I can give you a modified copy of the "gone" program, if you mail me your correct address. The "gone" program works on any b/w and color node. -- Cheers, Fons -- Org: NIKHEF-H, National Institute for Nuclear and High-Energy Physics. Mail: Kruislaan 409, P.O.

ADUS stands for Apollo Domain Users' Society. It is an independent
organization of users of the products of Apollo Computer Inc. They
publish an article called the ADUS Ring which discusses issues
concerning Apollos. They hold one large conference a year, and several
BOF interest conferences at various times and places. It's a useful
place to meet other users of Apollos, and the Apollo staff from David
Nelson to the individual programmers. Many and most issues are
discussed, from old software, to new developments yet to be released.
Membership is free, and entitles a member to the ADUS Ring, discounts
on the conferences, and access to the ADUS library which contains all
sorts of goodies. ADUS is funded by Apollo, and the conferences.
Change of address and membership are handled by

ADUS is the Apollo Domain Users Society -- the users' group for Apollo owners. The person to contact for membership info is Andrea Woloski, the Apollo ADUS coordinator, at (508) 256-6600 (the Apollo corporate headquarters) ... although since you are in Europe, you might try your local sales office first. The ADUS library is a set of public domain programs donated by Apollo users and is available to all ADUS members for a nominal tape-copying charge (about $175 for the full set). Your local field-service office may have a copy of the tapes, although they may not have the latest release. The "gone" program works just fine on my color DN560. I suspect that it will also work on other color screens or can easily be modified to recognize newer screen types. == Dave Krowitz
