In front of you lies the February number of the DEUG (Dutch enterprise users Group) from 1987. It is the second number that the new editor did create for you guys. There were a lot of nice responses on the first magazine! We are very happy with that but we would like to see responses in the form of articles. Of course writing articles is a task that cost a lot of time, the editor also has trouble with it especially to write something sensible and you don't want to write something that everyone already knows. What you see as ' logical ' or ' normal ' is for others very complex. The different is that someone is an expert and others not. But do not hesitate to send any questions, though they seem unimportant, it's better to share. We have enough EXPERTS to answer them. In the section 'ENTER and RETURN' you can see the incoming questions.
There are a lot of Enterprise users that still have to lean BASIC. You cannot say to those people, simply “Hey! you can write a driver for that just in GEN” This was something I heard someone saying on an Enterprise User Day. So you cannot say that PEEK is simple for beginners. Words like, Allocate, bugs, ram segments, system- extensions and ESCAPE-sequences are not easy to understand for beginners. So what I want to say in this context is: Please if you send some article to me be aware that you write it so that it makes sense for everyone. Don’t be afraid to write something. You can simple write something about your Enterprise. Tell us what you are doing with your machine. What you like or dislike. Those personal stories can be find in the section ‘My Enterprise’
It’s also nice if your send drawings or nice pictures that are Enterprise related. If it is very nice we can decide to publish it on the front- cover.
You can still send the articles for the upcoming number of APRIL or give those to me at the user day on 14 March 1987. Please, when you send something to me do it on a TAPE or a Floppy. It helps us to have it in a digital format and besides that we don’t like to type listings in manually. Beside that Computers are invented for that!
