European Forum For OS-9
-------------------------------------------------------------
The European Forum For OS-9 (EFFO) is a non-profit, computer
and company independent union of idealistic OS-9/68k-users.
Our main goals are:
1. Deep support for all users of OS-9/68k; advice and problem
solving questions about the operating system, languages,
user applications and computer specific problems.
2. Collection and distribution of user written programs and other
contributions concerning OS-9 internals.
3. Management and taking care for all available OS-9 based public
domain software and freeware.
4. Promotion of contacts between OS-9 users (share experience).
We turn to all users of OS-9/68k, professional, amateurs as well
as newcomers, and we anticipate wide diffusion and contribution
to our goal.
Main information exchange takes place bimonthly:
Participation in the Forum is free and without obligation. Anyone
willing to participate, is sending
- 2 (TWO) disks (OS9 double density format 3.5", eg. Atari ST, other
formats on request) with own contributions or at least formatted!
- a self adhesive label with the return address
- sufficient return-postage (e.g. disks are possible currency)
- reusable wrapping material which is used for sending you the disks back.
to one of the following addresses:
