Summary: 

Body: 

As you can see by flicking through any issue of C Vu, the group relies heavily on a small group of members who make the effort to contribute (which is, after all, what a user group is all about!). If every member made the effort to write _something_ for C Vu then we would have enough material for many issues to come.

Although articles are always welcome, within the group we have many members who can help out with your technical queries - either about C itself, or related to the operating system/environment you are using. At present, we have members who can help out with technical queries on MS-DOS, OS-9, Unix, Xenix, Mirage, TOS (including GEM), Minix....

Submissions for C Vu should be in the form of ASCII text files, on 3 1/2" or 5 1/4" standard MS/PC/GEMDOS format disks. 5 1/4" BBC Micro format (standard DFS or ADFS) single-sided/single-density (ie. 100k) disks can also be accepted. The alternative is to send articles by modem, to one of the bulletin boards or conferencing systems mentioned elsewhere in this issue.

Ideally, the only formatting in text files should be a double CR/LF between paragraphs and between each line of code (if using examples, etc.) Generally speaking, source code of great length will not be reproduced in C Vu, but will be placed in the "Source Library".

Any graphics should be printed out (maximum size is 6 3/4" by 9 1/4") although standard GEM format files (IMG or GEM types) can also be accepted.
