Hello. My site has received our version of Lotus Improv on
floppy disk. That's wonderful, but we have no NeXT with
floppy drives. . . just some optical drives. Sigh.
2 questions:
1) We have Sparcstation 2's, Macintosh (with both high density
and 'regular' (?) density drives), and pc's. . . any way to
get it off of one of those?
2) Anyone out there willing to uuencode it and email the stuff
to me, or let me ftp it, or ftp it here for me, or whatever?
Please email.
Thanks,
Brett

I suggest that those of us who are FD-less but OD-ful cooperate with one another by providing copies of software on OD for those who have purchased the same software on floppies. I would be willing to provide a copy of Improv to Brett if he sends me an OD with return shipping prepaid and proof of purchase of Improv. -- _____ ____ Art Isbell |\ | HELP! | | | \ 315 Moon Meadow Lane NeXT Registered Developer | \ | ___ |____| | | Felton, CA 95018-9442 isbell@ucscf.UCSC.EDU | \ | |___| | \ | | (408)335-1154 => I NEED TO FIND NeXT ==> | \| |___ | \ |___/ ==> DEVELOPMENT WORK <=

There is no proof that indeed we have purchased Improv (actually, we HAVEN'T --- we're getting it because of the standard 'order your upgrade by etc, etc, and Improv will be sent to you' offer), and people probably shouldn't be making it available for anyone that asks. . . My apologies for asking people out there to do that. I wasn't really thinking when I posted. . . It frustrates me that only FD is/are being provided. . . sigh.

I think you should buy a floppy disk drive. After all, Improv is FREE. Would you ship a free product on $150 worth of optical disk media? -- Glenn Reid NeXTMail: glenn@heaven.woodside.ca.us RightBrain Software ..{adobe,next}!heaven!glenn NeXT/PostScript developers 415-326-2974 (NeXTfax 326-2977)
