I make minor changes to TBI-00,
the Catalogue/Information disc
just about every day. To keep
abreast of all new additions to
the catalogue, charges and
utility updates, send your copy of
TBI-00 and return postage to 8BS
for a free update. TBI-00 has
recently had a total re-write of
the info and it is very important
that you all read the new info.
The response to my request for
photos to be scanned in has been
excellent. TBI-99 is available as
a 2DA disc which is filling with
digitised pictures of the
membership. If you want to be
included in this edifice, send in
your photo. Larger, matt, black
and white are best. Tell me if you
want the photo back.
Please send in your completed
questionnaire (available on
TBI-00). This is not compulsory,
but it helps me a great deal.
This menu contains all the info for the
software on this issue.

Thanks to Fred Price for mentioning
that the lottery is going twice weekly
now/soon. Personally I am appalled.
However, here is an update of the
lottery program to cope with it.
Basically all I have done is change all
occurrences of "WEEK" to "GAME".
