CFOG Meetings Planned
Sunday, September 28 --> Modems!
The Sunday September 28 meeting will be devoted to modems, communications software, and RCPM access. We'll have the CFOG #2 RCPM set up and running at Triton College where you'll not only be able to see how access to the system is gained by a telephone call, but to actually witness what is happening at the 'remote' end. We hope to be able to allow as many members as possible to have a short session calling the RCPM, signing on, reading and leaving messages, etc.
Members will be able to obtain specially set up disks with modem software for various systems. Those with special needs will be assisted at the 'custom setup table' where we'll be assembling and overlaying communications software for as many different systems as we possibly can.
For this special occasion, try to bring your computer to help with disk copying.
Tuesday, September 16 -- The Downtown 'SIG'
A SIG or 'special interest group' is normally a gathering of some members of a computer user group who have a special interest in some aspect of computing, perhaps an application <a WordStar SIG>, perhaps an operating system <SIG/M, the Special Interest Group/Microcomputing, of the Amateur Computer Society of New Jersey>, etc. In CFOG we have the 'Downtown SIG', whose 'special interest' lies in meeting downtown.
For those who find that more convenient than the Sunday afternoon meetings at Triton College, the Downtown SIG meets at the offices of Schwartzberg, Barnett & Cohen, attorneys, 55 West Monroe Street <corner of Dearborn> Suite 2400, on the third Tuesday of each month from September through June. The next meeting will be on September 16, at 6 p. m. Pizza from Edwardo's is served <$6.50> for those who are hungry. The meeting usually lasts until about 9:30 or so. Even if you're not eating, come as early as is convenient, for this meeting doesn't normally have a program as such and the conversation starts as soon after 6:00 as people start arriving. Bring your questions!
October 26 --> SuperMit!
If you haven't yet started using batch files, here's something that should get you excited about the possibilities of saving time and effort -- SuperMit, extended facilities for Submit. If the July meeting program got you started, here's a way to extend your uses. Roy Lipscomb, the author of SuperMit, will be our special guest. SuperMit is a series of public domain programs, though Roy has chosen to sell the full manual, so you'll be able to get a 'free' copy of the programs by bringing a disk to the meeting for copying.
