In response to recent requests for information regarding the OS9 USERS
GROUP, here's another blurb. This one (obviously) pertains to general
membership info.

=======================================================================
 
     The OS-9 Users Group is an international non-profit
organization of approximately 800 members (and growing) devoted
to exchanging and distributing information about, and public
domain software for, all available versions of the OS-9 Operating
system. The OS-9 Users Group is the only independent group
officially recognized by Microware (the developers of OS-9) as an
official voice of its users.
 
     The OS-9 Users Group periodically publishes a newsletter
entitled "MOTD" which contains many useful articles, software
listings, and other information helpful in keeping OS-9 computing
enjoyable and rewarding. Other membership benefits include free
technical help referrals (by mail or electronic BBS) and
significant discounts on the purchase of individual volumes of
the OS-9 Users Group Public Domain Software Library. One year
memberships in the group cost $25.00 for individuals and $150 for
companies (corporate membership) and includes a subscription to
the MOTD newsletter, one free disk of public domain software
(archive set of entire Library for corporate members), and the
right to purchase additional disks of software at a very
reasonable cost. The group's public domain software library
currently has over 56 individual volumes of software comprised of
almost 300 individual programs. The library is constantly growing
due to the group's policy of sending one volume (disk) from the
library free for each individual program donated by a member. For
more complete information on the OS-9 Users Group, including a
complete catalog listing of (and ordering information for) all
currently available volumes in the Group's public domain software
library, visit the OS-9 Forums on either the CompuServe or Delphi
electronic networks.
 
     To join the OS-9 Users Group, fill out the application form
