(The Software Card is free and there is no charge unless the user purchases a software.) Starting in June 1991, IMPACT will be distributing a variety of software written by independent developers from all over the country. These software will be of very high quality but with very reasonable prices, most of them between $10 and $40. (For example, PhaseScope, a mathematical program written by Dr. Michael J. Mezzino, will be distributed by us and is featured in the Winter 1991 issue of "NeXT on Campus".) If you would like to obtain a Software Card, please complete the following membership form and mail the form to: IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. 306 College Avenue Ithaca, NY 14850 Otherwise, send an e-mail to l3my@vax5.cit.cornell.edu.

Does this mean we will be sent free demo copies of a package with an option to buy? If that is the case, does this also mean that the floppies the demo comes on will be sent free? Or will there be a standard $x many dollar per disk charge? Just curious... -drin Adrian Smith ersys!drin@nro.cs.athabascau.ca Edmonton Remote Systems: Serving Northern Alberta since 1982
