PD LIBRARY by Richard Karsmakers
We have had a PD library since we launched ST NEWS Volume 1 Issue
3, and we are proud to say that is grows larger and larger and
that it still has both quantity and quality! All PD program can
be obtained by sending enough disks (formatted single sided) to:
ST NEWS, Kievitstraat 50, 5702 LE, Helmond, The Netherlands,
together with enough stamps or International Reply Coupons for
the costs of the back-postage. If you enclose less stamps or
International Reply Coupons than are nessecary, or if you haven't
put enough stamps on the envelope itself, we will not send
anything back or we will return the package to sender. Please
take care not to close your envelope too tightly, since we use
the same envelope for the way back, too (although you can also of
course just enclose another return envelope).
Our current list of Public Domain offerings starts on the next
page; it consists of programs that are a total of 24 disks in
length.
Since the F.A.S.T.E.R. programs turned out NOT TO BE PD, we have
discarded them from our offerings. We wish to apologize to the
people of F.A.S.T.E.R. for copying them already as long as we
have...

A file that is accompanied by a certain number of '*', should be
ordered together with other files with that many '*' behind them,
since they are on the same disk!
Size calculation: You should send one disk per program that is "1
disk" in length, as well as one disk per three programs that are
of unspecified length.
Postage calculation: In Holland, you should put stamps on the
envelope according to the following table (and enclose the same
amount, of course). In the price, the weight of the envelope is
included.
1 disk 150 cents
2 disks 225 cents
3-8 disks 300 cents
Outside of Holland, you should add International Reply Coupons
according to the following table, instead of stamps:
1 disk 2 IRCs
2-8 disks 3 IRCs
9-11 disks 4 IRCs
12-15 disks 5 IRCs
Our Public Domain offerings are free of additional costs, but all
donations are of course very welcome (since I am trying to save
enough money to buy a double sided disk drive). In Holland, you
can simply enclose any amount of paper(!) money in the envelope
or order the money to be transferred to giro account number
5060326 of Richard Karsmakers, Helmond, The Netherlands. Foreign
readers can also do the latter, or add any amount of extra
International Reply Coupons. Thank you in anticipation!
By the way, for countries outside the EEC, post costs might be
higher, so more IRCs will need to be enclosed!
Please do not make use of any of the special services of the
postage companies, except for sending per express mail. Be sure
that your package can be put in a mail box (since I am not home
most of the day, and I now have to fetch the packages at the post
office every time they're too big).
If you want to make sure that your package is returned to you as
soon as possible, take care not to close the envelope too
tightly, supply me with address-stickers and write down your
requests in clear letters (so no Egyptian or so). Thank you.
Double Sided service
If you would like to have your PD delivered on double-sided
disks, this can be easily arranged: Just add two stamps of 75
cents (or 2 International Reply Coupons if you live outside
Holland) per disk for the trouble and it is done. All programs
can be supplied on a double sided disk, except for the programs
with "+" behind them in the above list (because they protected
or because of another reason).
Programs with "-" behind them should never be ordered together on
one disk, since they are maxiformatted!
Disclaimer
The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared
in old ST NEWS issues. Please take into consideration that the author(s)
was (were) a lot younger and less responsible back then. So bad jokes,
bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
and/or payment information, as well as deadlines/release dates of any
kind should be regarded as outdated. Due to the fact that these pages are
not actually contained in an Atari executable here, references to scroll
texts, featured demo screens and hidden articles may also be irrelevant.
