Letters

...Are you planning a big club meeting like the ones in Cologne and Filderstadt? A bit smaller would also be fine, but it has to be cozy.

When the time comes, let the Dutch friends know so we can plan for it; maybe we'll drop by your place, Vienna is a beautiful city.

Is it possible to also release the programs as tape files for the emulator?...

Dear Mr. Raaijen,

The date for the club meeting has not been set yet; negotiations are currently underway regarding various venues suitable for the gathering. At the moment, the ASC also has too few members from Vienna, which I hope will change soon. It is certain that the meeting will take place on a weekend, most likely on a Saturday. A date before summer '96 will probably be impossible, but August or September is much more likely. Aside from that, I need at least 20 confirmations to make it worthwhile. In any case, it will be cozy, and the date will be announced in good time. Mr. Koning and you will, of course, also be informed, as all detailed information and directions will appear in SCENE.

Saving SCENE as tape files for the emulator might cause problems, as I own an original Spectrum and do not have a PC. As far as I know, however, the emulator has the ability to read +D disks, so that should not be a problem for you. Taking this opportunity, I would like to make a small correction: while I don't speak Dutch, I noticed in the SGG Info that there were several mistakes in the SCENE description. For example, the DISK-SCENE, which I will henceforth call SCENE+, has not been published since February, but already since January; furthermore, it is not on OPUS, but on +D disk — though the tape version is correct! I couldn't find any further errors due to a lack of language skills, and to be honest, I understand nothing apart from that description.

Dear Leszek,

Many thanks for sending me your new games — excellent quality, and a pleasure to play.

I'm enclosing my 'MK Collection Disk', recently updated with my latest items. Anyway, please feel free to include any of my PD programs in your Library, and good luck, too, with your new club...

Thank you for the MK Collection Disk. I have included it in my PD Library; the programs are excellent too and a good value for any +D user. I think I will include some programs on SCENE.

By the way, I will continue to write more games of the same quality. My next project will be Pyramid Patience, but it is not easy to write more than one program at the same time and run a magazine too.
