   Ok, PIM is back and the Poetry Train is back on the tracks.           
                                                                         
   I have cause for celebration this month.                              
                                                                         
   The Poetry Corner Conference is 3 years old this month.               
                                                                         
   I'm proud to announce that PIM-BBS is listed in the July ('93) Issue  
   of Computer Shopper.                                                  
                                                                         
   A special celebration is celebrated by Poetry In Motion - The Poetry  
   Newsletter ("PIM").  A year ago, Michael Gibbs left me a message      
   requesting that I check out his BBS because he had re configured PIM  
   so that it could be viewed online via a program he created called     
   ReadRoom.                                                             
                                                                         
   This month PIM celebrates its first year of entering the online       
   world using the ReadRoom door format.                                 
                                                                         
   In addition to his creation of format for magazine and newsletter     
   viewing online (for BBS's), Michael made PIM "user friendly" by       
   creating an offline program ("READER.COM") wherein the user need      
   only type READER and "BINGO" you have a local simulation of the       
   READROOM door.  PIM now has an attractive, menu-driven interface for  
   users both when viewing on a BBS and on their own computer using      
   READER.                                                               
                                                                         
   The format (READROOM.TOC) provides for display of ASCII, ANSI text    
   files as well as [ANSIART] files.  Each publication can hold up to    
   99 articles and the door can hold up to 99 publications. The latest   
   version will allow us to send out pictures and programs to you all    
   to launch from within the offline reader.                             
                                                                         
   The program also will determine whether your system uses MONO or      
   ANSI and runs the program accordingly. If you've ever had programs    
   that request you to type (C) for color or (M) for mono (like the      
   original PIM) and made a mistake and typed the wrong letter, you can  
   really appreciate a file that won't make YOUR mistakes!               
                                                                         
   I thank Michael Gibbs for coming aboard and helping put the Poetry    
   Train in further motion!
