- # ON SIDE 2 OF YOUR START DISK
- # GET CLICKING WITH YOUR ST
- # PREPARE START PROGRAM DISK
- #***********************************************************
- # SAY GOOD-BYE TO THE HEIDI FORMAT
- #***********************************************************
- # We really do read your letters and monitor returned
- # disks. Some of you loved the Heidi format, but more of
- # you found it complicated and fragile. So we're dropping
- # the Heidi format next month. We don't know what will re-
- # place it. We're investigating other double-sided formats
- # that appear to be more stable (thanks to those who wrote
- # with suggestions). We may return to the single-sided
- # format.
- #***********************************************************
- # ATTENTION START READERS
- #***********************************************************
- # Due to a bug in our formatting routines, the menu
- #program is unable to Prepare a disk directly from files on
- #the back side of your START disk. In order to access these
- #files, you must follow these special instructions:
- # 1) Format a single-sided disk for backup.
- # 2) Click on the "Backup START Disk" button.
- # 3) Select the option to back up Side 2 of your START disk.
- # 4) Click on Backup.
- # This will put the contents of Side 2 of your START
- #disk onto one single-sided disk. Next, use the "Prepare
- #Disk" button and select the file you wish to use, for
- #example, PHA$AR Tax Calculator. The program will prompt
- #you to insert your Side 2 disk into Drive A.
- # Because of these special instructions the option to
- #back up both sides of your disk onto one double-sided disk
- #is not available this issue.
- #
- # Features on Side 1 of your START disk this month:
