I have three important announcements concerning my library distribution services: 1. The library contents are now available (or will be very shortly) on 1/4" cartridge tape. 2. Orders of $200 or more can now be paid for via MasterCard or Visa. Include the full name as shown on the card, card number, and expiration date. 3. Orders using an existing credit or being paid for via credit card can be placed by FAX. The FAX number is 602-491-0865. Clearly indicate on your FAX that it is to be routed to me personally. Note that the credit card and FAX support is being supplied courtesy of Enhanced Software Technologies, and may go away at any time if it becomes too much of a burden. So please do not abuse it by trying to use the FAX for other communication concerning the library. Long term subscribers should continue to refresh their accounts via check or money order when they run low. TAPES ----- Over the last several years, I have frequently had inquiries regarding distribution of my library on tape. I am happy to announce that I can now provide this service. Included here is a list of the current planned tapes. I expect to eventually be able to offer other variations such as: 1. "bru" format for reading on CBM's SVR4 or native AmigaDOS 2.0 2. "compressed" tapes where the entire archive is filtered through "compress" before being written to tape, thus possibly getting the entire current library on 2 tapes rather than 3. 3. tapes containing ".lzh" archives of each disk, where the entire disk is packed in a file called something like "Disk001.lzh". 4. other formats depending upon request, however I will NOT be doing "custom pick and choose" type distribution. Below is the list of current available or planned tapes. Hardwr Softwr Tape # Avail Format Format Contents ------ ----- ------ ------ ----------------------------------------------- T001 Now 1/4" Tar Contents of disks 1-187, crc lists for 1-187, QIC150 and "brik" for using the crc lists. T002 3/17 1/4" Tar Contents of disks 188-360 (approx), crc lists QIC150 and "brik". T003 3/24 1/4" Tar Contents of disks 361-470 (approx), crc lists QIC150 and "brik". I am currently setting the distribution fee at $75 per tape. This includes high quality media such as SONY QD-6150 tapes, duplication and handling, and priority mail for domestic USA customers or airmail for international customers. Orders can be sent to: Fred Fish 1835 East Belmont Drive Tempe, Arizona 85284 USA -- Please see monthly postings for the disclaimer, the introduction, the charter, and submission instructions.
