<DIV>Hi Tony and others interested in Soft Disk,</DIV>
<DIV>I have a modified program called </DIV>
<DIV>Soft Reader</DIV>
<DIV>which comes with a hello file with instructions for SoftDisk.</DIV>
<DIV>Aparently, somebody modified this program years ago to work with speech
with SoftDisk.</DIV>
<DIV>The Softdisk text is in a Random access textfile thus requiring a special
reader.</DIV>
<DIV> If you will email me directly, I
will send a zip with the hello and the Soft Reader program.</DIV>

<P>Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been looking for any disk magazines for
years now. I have a complete SoftDisk archive, but the text reader isn't
accessible and they don't use standard text files. Asimov has lots of magazines
in .pdf but not very many on disk. I can't share SoftDisk due to legal and
copyright reasons, but the complete CD archive was for sale. I'm greatly and
eagerly looking forward to reading these! If anyone has any other magazines in
any form, tape, disk or otherwise, please let me know, either here or off list.
I can try to work with you to get any cassettes transferred. I especially am
looking for disk magazines.</P>

can handle long textfiles, including my</DIV>

<DIV>A few of the disk—maybe starting in late 1987 through the end have a few
