FOXFORUM on

Compuserve

If you’ve never signed on to Com-

puserve and checked out FOX-

FORUM, the Fox Software discus-

sion 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 Lan-

guage Magazine; Bill French; Walter

Kennamer; John L. Hawkins, who

writes the VAR Report for Data-

Based Advisor; Jordan Powell of

IDBUG; and numerous other top-

notch 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 spin-

ning 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 pro-

gram designed expressly for access-

ing the forums of Compuserve. TAP-

CIS can be downloaded from the

TAPCIS forum on Compuserve (GO

TAPCIS). TAPCIS enables you to

make much better use of the resour-

ces 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 meet-

ings, please contact me, Charles Wil-

liams, or one of the other steering

committee members. We’d like to

see a demo of your vertical market

Foxbase or FoxPro application; a dis-

cussion of how you handled a par-

ticular 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!
