From: Bill Jones, past Publisher
(This is not a disappearing act.)
My Software titles appear in most back issues of Update Magazine with my own personal address as the ordering source. From this day forward I would like for all orders for my software to be addressed to UPDATE MAGAZINE and not to me. In the event that I receive orders the orders will be forwarded to UPDATE for fill. The reason for this is that I am a philanthropoid. I want to continue to support Update and its subscribers. The proceeds of each order of my software is split 50% with the magazine, which provides a small but continuing income to help defray publishing expense.
But not to worry! I will continue to welcome all HELP calls and will continue to exchange any faulty disks supplied by either myself or Update, and will continue to send in articles for Frank Davis to selectively publish. If you get tired of these articles, write some for publication and mine will be crowded out!
Right now I’m working on conversions of all of my software to both OLIGER DOS and LKDOS and will release them to Update as they are finished. But this work is a slow process. For example; the Hybiscus software conversion to Oliger DOS involves work on the syntax and program lines of 2.5 Megabytes of programming in two formats (40 and 80 track).
Finally, I wish to give my thanks to the many who have continuously written or called to express their warm friendship and cooperation over the past four years. You subscribers are truly a friendly and cooperative group, the very best association of fine people in the whole World. I hope that all of you will give Frank and Carol Davis your friendship and support. They truly deserve it. AND– THANKS for being my Friend! _BJ-
