README_TXT FOR J1007_zip
********************************************************************************
At last, here is the cover disk. After Unzipping this file, remove this
README_TXT, and the cover disk should be complete. There should be about
40kilobytes free on a DD disk to take and listings from the magazine.

Having just got home at 1100 UK time, there's a message from Mike Kenneally
warning me he wants a word with me before I commit the cover disk to you. It's
too late to phone him tonight, and I may find it difficult to send you anything
by modem for a few days, I'll upload this now in the hope that what he wants to
tell me is not vitally important - the disk seems to work OK, and all ZIP files
seem to UNZIP OK.

In case you wondered what to do about my DISPLAY_CDE article, CLubQL have
already used it for their front end and refer to it directly in the newsletter.
It's in DISPLAY_ZIP on the disk, and includes the text of the article, source,
assembled code and so on. In other words, unless you particularly want to run it
in a separate issue, there is now no need to print it in the magazine, in this
issue anyhow.Feel free to place it on your BBS or Web page if you wish - it's
freeware as far as I'm concerned. If it leads to better programs which work
better with modern graphical displays, good.

You can use your judgement to shorten the magazine text from this file to suit
the space available.

The zipped files seem to unzip OK this time; make sure you unzip them on Ataris
to test them as well. We don't want any more cock-ups with ZIP files!

If you haven't already printed the labels, here is my suggestion
for the wording. It involves a slight change to your original label, so you may
wish to change the cover page. If this is too much trouble, just ignore this. I
think the title page looks good, the only comment is the '100' in the middle of
the page. It may be because of the fax machine copy; the '1' looks lighter in
colour than the '00' making it a little hard to spot at a glance that it is a
'100'. Other than that, good. I wonder what rating Stuart would give it on his
weirdness scale!

    100th Disk Newsletter

QL TODAY'S SECOND COVER DISK

As our second cover disk, we present the special issue 100th disk based
newsletter from Club QL International, a non-profit self-help group for all QL
users.

The disk contains an introduction from Club QL chairman, Mike Kenneally (the
file called QL100AA_DOC - read it with Quill), the newsletter itself (packed
full of letters from members past and present), and some Zipped program files
referred to in the newsletter itself.

To start the cover disk, enter the command LRUN FLP1_BOOT. This will start the
main menu and load the title screen. From the menu, press a function key to
select one of the available options:

F1 - Start Xchange Quill from the disk and loads the 100th issue newsletter.

F2 - Information about the club

F3 - Set the default devices if required

F4 - Unzipper. The program files have been Zipped (compressed), so you have to
     Unzip them before you can use them. Unzip is supplied on the disk; all
     you have to do is choose which package of programs to be unzipped, from the
     list presented.

F5 - Quit from the menu.

QL Today would like to extend our grateful thanks to Mike Kenneally and Graham
Lutz of Club QL International for their hard work and co-operation in making
this cover disk possible. If you'd like to join Club QL International, you can
write or email to Mike Kenneally at the address given in the first page of the
newsletter. We look forward to the next 100 issues, Mike!
