FOXFORUM on Compuserve

If you’ve never signed on to Compuserve and checked out FOX- FORUM, the Fox Software discussion forum, you’re in for one of those “Why didn’t I do this before now?” experiences. On FOXFORUM you have ready access to some of the best fox developers in the country. Regular participants include Pat Adams; Richard Grossman; Guy Scharf, President of the Independent Computer Consultants Association; Warren Keuffel of Computer Language Magazine; Bill French; Walter Kennamer; John L. Hawkins, who writes the VAR Report for Data- Based Advisor; Jordan Powell of IDBUG; and numerous other topnotch Fox developers like Y.Alan Griver, Mark Vodhanel, and Hank Fay. FOXFORUM is a direct line to Fox Software and the most active members of its development corn-

munity. There’s just no point spinning your wheels on bugs and/or parts of the software you don’t understand, when you can sign on to Compuserve and benefit from others’ experience.

If you decide to check it out, you should also take a look at TAPCIS, a shareware telecommunications program designed expressly for accessing the forums of Compuserve. TAPCIS can be downloaded from the TAPCIS forum on Compuserve (GO TAPCIS). TAPCIS enables you to make much better use of the resources of Compuserve than you can otherwise. It also enables you to do the most time-consuming parts of your work offline, so it can save you a bundle.

Call for Presenters and Authors

If you’re interested in being a presenter at one of our group meetings, please contact me, Charles Williams, or one of the other steering committee members. We’d like to see a demo of your vertical market Foxbase or FoxPro application; a discussion of how you handled a particular technical problem; or other things that would be of interest to

members. There’s no better way to market your skills and/or products, and you can have a lot of fun in the process!

We’d also like your article for the newsletter. If you have an idea, but aren’t sure just how to approach it or whether it would be of interest, give me a call and let’s discuss it! Articles will reach our growing mailing list for the Fox group, and we plan to contact other Fox User groups around the country to share articles. Share your expertise with the world!

Thanks to Richard
