How to Get LadyBug
                        ------------------

LadyBug is an implementation of LOGO Turtle Graphics.  It is free.
It's features are listed later in this note.

The LadyBug program takes over 70K on disk; in HEX format ready for
up/down loading it is over 140K.  The document is also over 70K.  At
300 baud it takes 80 minutes or so just for the program.  Unless you
have better phone lines than I have, there is no way to go 80 minutes
without at least one hit.  Even at 1200 baud with XMODEM protocol, it
is far too large for convenient downloading.  As a result LadyBug is
NOT available for downloading on many systems.

Therefore, the best way to get LadyBug is to send me one of the
following:

1) A diskette and a postage paid mailer.  You get LadyBug with
   documentation on disk.

2) A diskette with a 9x12 self-addressed postpaid envelope.
   You get LadyBug and hardcopy documentation.  The document was
   53 pages when this was written and growing.

In any case, please mark LADYBUG on the OUTSIDE of the envelope.
Also, please don't enclose money.  LadyBug is NOT for sale.

(Please do not call me; I am hard to reach and some family members
sleep odd hours.  You can send mail, or leave EMAIL on CompuServe for
73145,153.)
