National AppleWorks User Group

[joko@crl.com (Joe Kohn)]

For more than a decade, AppleWorks Classic has been meeting the
increasingly sophisticated needs of Apple II users by providing an
integrated and seamless environment that provides word processing,
database and spreadsheet capabilities. As each new version of AppleWorks
has been released, more and more capabilities have been added to the
program, and more and more computing power has been bestowed upon Apple
II users.

For the past decade, the National AppleWorks User Group (NAUG) has been
one of AppleWorks' staunchest proponents by providing superb technical
support for tens of thousands of loyal AppleWorks users. NAUG has
published an informative newsletter, maintained a huge library of
AppleWorks related materials, published books, and operated a BBS.

Through thick and thin, NAUG has been a phenomenal source of AppleWorks
support and has been an integral part of the Apple II community. NAUG
has educated AppleWorks users and taught them how to do what can't be
done with an Apple II. NAUG has helped users to push AppleWorks into
performing tasks undreamed of by the author of the program.

Sadly, in November, 1995, NAUG members were informed that The National
AppleWorks User Group would cease to exist after December 31, 1995.

In the November, 1995 issue of the AppleWorks Forum, NAUG founder Warren
Williams sought to ease the sense of loss felt by NAUG members. As
regards to the voluminous amount of AppleWorks related disks that would
no longer be available from NAUG, Warren Williams wrote: "We will
archive and protect those disks in case they are of historical interest
to future generations. We will also try to identify a library or other
institution that will care for the disks and make them available to
researchers and others with a legitimate interest in their contents."

Shareware Solutions II is proud to announce that it has been chosen by
the National AppleWorks User Group as the official repository for the
huge AppleWorks related NAUG disk library. After NAUG ceases to exist,
Shareware Solutions II will continue to distribute NAUG's "public domain
library," as well as being the distributor of several AppleWorks books
that were published by NAUG. Additionally, Shareware Solutions II will
also be distributing back issues of the disk-based electronic edition of
the AppleWorks Forum newsletter: NAUG On Disk.

Joe Kohn, founder and publisher of Shareware Solutions II, says: "I
salute Warren Williams, Cathleen Merritt, the NAUG staff, and the
collective NAUG membership, and vow that the NAUG legacy will live on
well into the next millennium. The excellent AppleWorks reference
materials developed by NAUG and its members will continue to be
available to AppleWorks users at low cost."

Complete details will be forthcoming from Shareware Solutions II in
early 1996.
