The Storm Front Archives

 
 

Let's face it, these occasional newsletters never changed anyone's life. They did entertain (or so I was told) so I stored them away and the files moved from computer to computer over the years.

Then I started playing around with a new PDF creation tool called FreePDF that worked with GhostScript and realized (much to the horror of the people mentioned in the past issues) that I could now export and post copies. Here they are.

The quality is iffy, the layouts have changed slightly due to the differences in fonts (yes, I lost some along they way) and printer drivers, and some text has mysteriously vanished. Do any of you people still have the GEM graphical user interface in reasonably operational condition? I didn't think so.

I tried to call Timeworks to get tech support for their Publish-it program from 1988, but (besided the suggestion that I adjust my medication) I can't seem to get much help.

If you want perfection, then go to Harris Graphic Services. Otherwise, enjoy what you find here. All files are in the portable PDF format and can be read with the free Adobe Acrobat reader. Don't have Adobe Acrobat? What are you, living in a cave? This has been around FOREVER. They do everything but come to your house and beg you to install it. Just TRY and buy a new computer without it, I dare you. Oh well, you can click here to get it.
