Each month at the main AMUG meeting we offer the latest in Public Domain and Shareware programs to our members. For the last several months we have standard- ized on three double-sided disks’ worth. Because single-sided disks were once our standard format, each of the three new disks carries two numbers (this situation will soon change). For example, in November we offered copies of three disks that were numbered AMUG 259+260, 261+262, and 263+264.. It follows, then, that December’s disks will be numbered AMUG 265+266, 267+268, and 269+270. To get copies of this new software, simply bring at least three double-sided disks to the meeting. The disks should be labeled clearly with your name, and the numbers of the disks you would like. We would also appreciate it if you formatted your disks, as this speeds up

Otherwise you will get the
“Application for this File is Missing” message when you try to start them up.
Besides the new disks, we also make copies of “back issues” available. You can get up to six
