                     CURRENT NOTES ST LIBRARY
                     #356: SPECTRUM UTILITIES
                             (Color)

Dear Sirs,

     Enclosed are two disks containing several programs that I have
written for the Atari ST and feel are the best at what they do.
Included is a telecommunications package, which I call MOTerm Elite,
which I have just released into the shareware market.  It features
many things that no other terminal packages contain, including medium
or high resolution graphics which can be exchanged over the modem
automatically, sound that can be transferred online, a new file
transfer protocol called Dmodem that is faster and more accurate
than Xmodem, a built-in text editor for editing of information captured
off of a modem or other files, an automatic dialer that will dial
phone numbers while you do something else within the program, the
fastest Xmodem file transfer routines yet available for the ST, and
much more.

    Also included is Spc Utilities, a disk containing many useful Spectrum
512 utilities, such as: a program to print Spectrum 512 pictures directly
to the printer, color or black and white, a program to convert Spectrum
512 pictures to Degas PI1 pictures focusing calculations of colors on a
specific area of a picture or on the entir epicture, SpcView, a GFA
Basic program to view Spectrum 512 pictures.

     Each of these programs included is shareware, but I feel that these
are good enough to be placed in your public domain library, and I feel
that ST users in general would benefit from the use of these programs.

     The requirements for MOTerm ELite are: 1 MB RAM, and a modem.
SpcPrint requires an EPSON printer capable of printing at 240dpi, as
well as a source of SPC, SPU, PI1, and NEO pictures.  SpcConvert
requires SPC or SPU pictures, and SPcView requires the same.
Documentation for these programs may be purchased for the fees listed
in the included Readme or Txt files on the disks.

     Thank you again for your time, effort, cooperation and support.

                                                     Sincerely,
                                                     Doug Johnson
                                                     Houston, Texas

Thank you Doug. The Spectrum Utilities are introduced as CN #346 and your
MOTerm Elite 1.41 as CN #347. I enjoyed the reprint from ST X-press
(December 1988) that talked about you and your programs.  (For the
information of our readers, Doug started programming on a PDP-11 when
he was 6 years old and has had experience with the Apple II+, the
TI99/4A, the Atari 600XL and 800XL, and, finally, the Atari ST.
Now (July, 1989) finishing his sophomore year in high school,
Doug's MOTerm (Maximum Output Terminal) has received excellent reviews
for its many advanced features.)  I'm sure our many telecommunications-
minded readers will be anxious to try out your handiwork.

                                                     Joe Waters
