Body: 

The following letter has been received by Martin Houston:

Padova 10 Set 1987 Dear friend,

We are a group of 'C' language enthusiasts, and have just created an official club in Italy. We already have the support from the ICUG of Mc Pherson, Ks and of i2u (the Italian Unix User's group).

Our main aim is to contact and communicate with people like you, for sharing informations ideas and also some public domain software e/o compiler libraries written in C.

Our associates vary from students to computer professionals, but the association isn't lucrative. The principal activities are the maintaining of our software library, the publication of a quarterly newsletter (but we plan to make it bimonthly), the exchange of information with Italian and American universities and colleges.

Today the group owns an MS-DOS machine (Olivetti M-24), and a AT&T 3B2 mini running Unix Sys V, and a Epson PC AX with SCO Xenix Sys V. We have a common software library for the three systems, and we plan to expand them, also with your help.

The annual subscription is 20,000 Lire (= 10 pounds) for

Italian subscribers, 40,000 ( = 20 pounds) for foreign subscribers. This fee covers the reproduction and P&P of the newsletter, and the access to the software library.

Anyway, we are interested in you contacting us, giving us suggestions, etc. Our newsletter is open for contributions from you, and we'd like to hear what happens in your country.

I hope to hear from you, and thank you for this opportunity.
