Fairware News

THE PURGE

So who’s left? Did you get a MAC II for Christmas? I’m updating my mailing list. If you want to remain on it, please say so.

NEW CATALOG

I’m not budgeted to do mass-mailings of my catalog. It gets revised frequently. Whenever you want the latest FAIRWARE catalog, please send $1.00 and a self-addressed stamped envelope.

1988

I plan to take the whole year off from my regular work (making wooden toys) and spend it writing (and selling) software for my favorite computer: the 2068. Yeah, it’s scary. Will I starve?

ORDERS

When ordering, please use my current order blank. I have a hard time ferreting out from letters what it is that folks want, and what equipment they have. Every order is a custom order. I do my best to match my software to your equipment.

PRICES

Due to popular request and to my own economic needs, FAIRWARE programs are no longer sold by donation, but have set prices. Orders now should be prepaid. Your satisfaction is guaranteed: you may have a refund upon request for anything you get and can’t use, except for the $5.00 Media/Postage/Handling charge which is not refundable. You need not return media.

DISC

I now support ALL 2068 mass storage devices except RAMEX. (I suggest RAMEX owners get an LKDOS cartridge!). I’m looking for a used ZEBRA disc system. Got one for sale?

CUSTOMIZED MSCRIPT

V5.3 is done. It has 52 user-definable printer control-code sequences, easily imbedded in text. But it cannot use FONTMAN fonts. V6 will be able to use the fonts. V6 is STILL not done. I ran out of time to work on it last year. It will be done some time this year… I hope by April or May. Details upon request.

OTHER SOFTWARE IN THE WORKS

• SUPERDRIVER: a package of software for big printers, to replace my inadequate relocatable Aerco Print Driver V4. It will fully support all printers and printer interfaces.
• BIGFONT: to enable creating, editing and using fonts of large detailed characters … NOT just blown-up 8X8 characters.
• ART: an ‘ultimate’ graphics program, for mice, etc.
• FLOW: a special-purpose graphics program, for flowcharting.
