- PentriNews Four, February '97...
-
- Well, it seems a while since the last PentriNews... I must have forgotten
- about it.
-
- As I write, DoubleClick Issue 3 has been completed; I'm just making minor
- changes, etc, before I put it onto disks. I am pleased that I am receiving a
- steadily growing number of contributions, as you can see from this issue,
- but I need MORE! So members / non-members alike, get typing!
-
- There have been a few more members, but it has been ages since a reader ad
- in Amiga Shopper. Amiga Format have announced an 'Amiga Angels' / 'We Can
- Help You' project, where by individuals or clubs can write in about
- themselves, who are willing to help others. I have of course written in on
- behalf of PentriSoft (with a little persuasion from Stephen), so maybe
- something will come of that.
-
- In the meantime, as always, just write and tell me if you want to
- hear from other members, etc.

-
- I have told some of you about an idea of a 'members only sort of PD
- library'. Some of us have reasonable/large PD collections, whether on CD ROM
- or disks; basically, there would be a list of members willing to take part
- with the PD they own, so if a member wanted some PD, they could get it more
- cheaply than from a commercial PD library (though they would still supply
- disks/postage, of course). Such a service would be members only, for various reasons.
-
- Another, slightly related idea (suggested by Garfield) is to set up a
- collection of programs which members have written. I don't know about
- keeping the programs in one place, but certainly, I want to produce a list
- (ie, ASCII/AmigaGuide, etc) of members' programs, so please write in with a
- list of your programs - remember to give brief details, system requirements,
- whether it is freeware, shareware, whatever, and where to get hold of it
- (eg, you, PD libraries, Aminet, etc). And if from you, how much you are
- charging for it.
-
- Such a list could be advertised in DoubleClick!, and of course all of
- members' own programs (ie, for free), so you have nothing to lose! Oh yes,
- this again is for members only, so if any non-members are reading this, join
- before you try ;)
-
- That's about all for now. Send any suggestions, ideas, etc about PentriSoft
- to the usual address..
