Late again.....ho hum.  Still better late than never I suppose.  The
    main reason we are late is due to the  writing  of  a  new  program  to
    produce  the  disk  magazine.   We hope you like it.  It will certainly
    make the production of the disk magazine a lot easier as  it  works  on
    straight  text files.  There are also several new facilities.  The most
    useful of these is the print utility.  This allows either the  printing
    of a single article, or the whole section.

       The MAGAZETTE is split into three sections, each section has its own
    menu, including the new GOODIES section.  To access each page in order,
    just keep pressing the <Pg Dn> key.  To go up or down a line press  the
    <8> or <2> keys.  At the top of your screen is the title of the article
    you are reading, and at the bottom is the name of the author.

       If you wish to directly enter another section now, press  the  <Esc>
    key  to  go  to  the  utilities menu and then <R> to return to the main
    menu.  Use the cursor keys to  make  your  selection,  then  press  the
    <Enter ─┘> key.

       From the ulilities menu, the commands are :-

       <Esc> - Return to the article you were reading.
       <P> - Print the article you are reading.
       <R> - Return to the menu for that section.
       <S> - Quit to system

       Use the cursor keys to go through the articles, the <Home> and <End>
    keys take you to either the top or bottom of  the  article.   When  you
    reach the end of the article you will hear a bleep - hit <Pg Dn> or <2>
    and you will be in the next article.  To return to the menu  hit  <Esc>
    and then <R>.

       The UpDate sheets have proved  very  popular,  and  you  should  all
    receive  your  new  membership packs within the next few weeks.  We are
    using the Dayfold thermal binder system for the membership pack and the
    artwork looks very smart, the literature for inside the membership pack
    is currently being typeset.

       We  also  have  a  problem  with  user  records and passwords on the
    bulletin board system.  Due to the nature of our multi-user  system  we
    have  difficulty maintaining multiple user records.  In other words, if
    you log in on Port 1 of the BBS and establish a user record, you may be
    treated  as  a  new  user on the other ports unless your user record on
    that port has also been updated by us.  The only way around this is for
    us  to  issue  passwords  and  user  identities on your behalf.  If you
    already use the BBS you will have to change your password  to  the  one
    assigned  to  you.

       If all this seems a bit confusing we apologise.  For  those  of  you
    who  haven't yet used the BBS there will be a simple step by step guide
    to using the BBS in the membership pack, as well as a  full  Fido  user
    manual for the more experienced user.

       The  growth of COMPULINK has been phenomenal in the past year and we
    are always looking for new ways to increase and improve our service  to
    you  the member.  It gives us great pleasure to announce the opening of
    our Northern branch office in Liverpool.

       The branch is run by Brian Williams and the address is:

                         COMPULINK USER GROUP (NORTH)
                             3 GAINSBOROUGH CLOSE
                             LIVERPOOL, L12 9BL.
                                 051-228-3844

       If you are  in  the  Liverpool  area  and  have  any  queries  about
    Compulink  please  contact  Brian  who  will be happy to deal with your
    enquiries.

       Brian will be installing a new Compulink Fido by  the  end  of  May.
    Existing  members  will have the same access to Liverpool as they do to
    Guildford all passwords and access time limits  will  be  automatically
    setup  on  the  new  board, so there will be no need to log in as a new
    user.  Information about the board will be circulated to you as soon as
    it is available.

       Brian  brings  vast experience with him and will enhance the quality
    of the user group no end  (He's  already  written  COMPU-FIND  our  new
    interactive  data base).  He set up one of the first Fido boards in the
    U.K.  called Fastnet.  He  has  run  software  support  groups  in  the
    U.S.A.,  he's  an excellent communicator and will be coordinating group
    meetings to be held around the North West of England.  This should give
    members  in  the  North  greater  access to the group.  If you have any
    ideas about subjects to cover at the meetings drop him a line  and  let
    him know.  Please don't telephone.

    We are sure you'll all join us in welcoming Brian and COMPULINK NORTH.
