THE PD LIBRARY by Richard Karsmakers/ST Club Eindhoven
You might already have noticed elsewhere in ST NEWS that I have
decided to cast off the PD Library to ST Club Eindhoven. They
have the biggest PD Library of the Benelux (and maybe the biggest
Library of the whole of Europe), being well over 200 disks in
size, and in this article you can read how to order PD disks.
And, of course, you can read WHICH PD disks are sold.
This list has been compiled in much of a hurry, so many programs
are not yet included in this list (like the PD software I
reviewed in this issue's "ST Software News" and the disk magazine
"ST Info". Some of "F.A.S.T.E.R."'s PD is also included in the
actual library, but not yet in this list. The PD library also
covers ALL PD from the German magazine ST Computer.
If you order PD from ST Club Eindhoven, you simply buy the disk
with the program on it - a setup rather different from the
previous setup. As ST Club Eindhoven is no philantopical
institute, they want to get paid for copying as well. The prices,
however, are still very low.
Just look at the next page for ordering conditions and prices.
PD Software can be bought directly at the usergroup meetings of
ST Club Eindhoven, or can be purchased by transfering the
required amount of money to giro number 5454376, t.n.v. Stichting
User Support, P.O. Box 1424, 5602 BK Eindhoven, where you'll have
to mention the disk numbers and/or titles of the disks.
The prices (all in Dutch Guilders):
Single Sided PD Disk Double Sided PD Disk
Supporters of
Stichting User
Support or ST ƒ10.00 ƒ12.50
Club Eindhoven
Non-members ƒ12.50 ƒ15.00
People outside Holland, but inside the EEC, should add ƒ10.00 to
one order. People outside the EEC should add ƒ15.00. All prices
are only valid when you order 2 or more disks, and include
postage, packaging and administrative costs.
Under here, you'll find a short list of all A, B, C, D, E and F
numbers. This part of the list is also used by e.g. SAG and ACN.
After that, you'll find a list with more recent PD software,
seperated into the following codes:
A : Enhancements of existing versions
M : Music programs
MAC: PD Software for the "Aladin" MacIntosh Enhancer
N : ST NEWS series
P : Programs specially for programmers
S : Slideshows and graphical demonstrations
STC: The PD list of the German magazine "ST Computer"
T : Testversion and demos of different programs
X : The special disks

This list of Public Domain will surely turn out to be old, as
there have already been a lot of additions to the PD Library of
ST Club Eindhoven after this article was prepared. I need to
thank Tako Jan Goossen (ST Club Eindhoven's PD man) for the work
he did for making this list in Dutch - all I did was translating
it!

The text of the articles is identical to the originals like they appeared

bad English, youthful arrogance, insults, bravura, over-crediting and
tastelessness should be taken with at least a grain of salt. Any contact
