They are now officially supporting us. On the Portfolio front we have a PC expert. He calls most BBS' every day, so if new Portfolio software is released, you'll be the first one to know.

PBasic, as it's called, is saved in compressed, downloadable form on CIS and GEnie, in a file called PBas1.zip. You'll need the archiving tool called zip to unzip the file first. To order PBasic 3.0 on RAM card (if you don't have access to a PC), send a RAM card of 64K or bigger size, and a self-addressed stamped mailer for return posting to the following address: BJ Gleason The American University CSIS 4400 Massachusetts Ave. N.W. Washington D.C. 20016 We'll have a full review on it next month. All I'll tell you now is that PBasic is compatible with Quickbasic, so that means that you can now program while on the run!!! Mega great!!! There are also some extra portfolio-only commands!! Just wait one month and you'll hear all about it!! P.S. There is also a Basic in production made by Atari self (this will not be a public domain basic!). Well that's all for this month. If you have any suggestions or tips for improvements in this newsletter, just mail us. Yiri and Tjerk. (P.S. If you want to join us you're welcome) Bye. a15@nikhefh.nikhef.nl Yiri Kohl and Tjerk Heijmens Visser c/o Peter Heijmens Visser National Institute for Nuclear Physics and High Energy Physics ( NIKHEF-H ) Computer Department Postbox 41882 1009 DB Amsterdam - Netherlands. .
