Last fall, at the Dartmouth Mac conference, I met one of the Vice
Presidents of True Basic Inc., Stewart Chapin.  I explained to him that
most of us Arpanet/Usenet users are highly respected authorities who
give lots of advice about which Mac and IBM PC products are hot and
which are not.  It followed, I explained, that if he wanted people to
know about his product, he should give a free demo to us experts.

So True Basic Inc. is offering a free Mac or IBM PC demo disk to
Arpanet/Usenet users and to anyone else they mention this to.  That 
would be a good offer even if it were for just a blank disk, but 
instead you get a demo version of the True Basic interpreter and 
a variety of True Basic programs.

The disk comes with documentation and price lists describing
educational discounts so you can try out the demo interpreter and
determine whether you want to buy the real thing.  The Mac demo
interpreter is complete except:  program size is limited to 100 lines,
programs cannot be saved or printed, file output is disabled, chaining
and uncompiled libraries are disabled, and the do command is disabled.
I don't have the IBM PC demo interpreter, but I assume it has the same
limitations.

To get your free disk, send a card with your return address and a note
mentioning where you heard about this to:

	True Basic, Inc.
	39 South Main Street
	Hanover NH 03755

or give them a call at (603) 643-3882.  Make sure you tell them whether
you want the Mac or IBM PC version.

I don't have any connection with True Basic Inc. and have not received 
anything from them except my free disk.

Dan.
