I am wrapping up some correspondence for the demised OS-9 Users Group and could
use some advice and help. Your responses to this note will be appreciated.

I have over twenty letters to respond to regarding disks, books, and general
inquiries about the UG which fell in a crack down in Florida when the mail
service there was closed.  Most are from abroad including the UK, France,
Belgium, Australia, Germany, Norway, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Italy, and
Hungary.  I am most interested in passing on good information about how to plug
into info resources about OS-9.

1.  Help me with the current sources of OS-9 info which you know about:
    What is the current OS-9 activity on the internet ??  Is there still a
      forum going there?  Several correspondents included internet
      addresses.

... What about Delphi, Genie, et al??  I am unplugged from those now
      and only use CIS for my email and forum activities.

... Is there foreign access to the various landline BBS systems which
     may have OS-9 info??

2.  I have both 3 1/2 " & 5 1/4 " diskettes formatted in MW
      universal format and which are to be filled with various library
      software.  I am unable to do this and plan to recommend the
      libraries here (and on other sources?) instead unless one of you
      steps forward.

3.  Are any OS-9 publications alive?  Is the "OSKer Newsletter" from
      Indianapolis still afoot?  I haven't seen a Rainbow on my
      newstands for a while, but I assume it's still available.

4.  What other info should be in such a handout?  I will upload a final
       version of all info to this forum before sending it off.

I hope to wrap this all up before the New Year.  Your timely help will be
greatly appreciated.
