| 20 | For several years now, the editors of _\bD_\br. _\bD_\bo_\bb_\bb_\bs _\bJ_\bo_\bu_\br_\bn_\ba_\bl |
| 21 | have overseen a charity program called _\bC_\ba_\br_\be_\bw_\ba_\br_\be. Careware, |
| 22 | in a nutshell, is a way to "give back" something to those |
| 23 | less fortunate in our community, and, at the same time, |
| 24 | obtain a copy of a popular piece of software featured in the |
| 25 | magazine -- simply by stuffing a dollar or two in your |
| 26 | floppy mailer for a local charity! It's that easy. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Now, as part of the DDJ Careware Program, we are making |
| 29 | available to the editors of DDJ the latest version of our |
| 30 | "Tiny 386BSD" installation floppy. Even though we have made |
| 31 | this software freely available -- with no contribution |
| 32 | required for the use of 386BSD -- we hope that the 386BSD |
| 33 | User Community will choose to participate in this charity |
| 34 | drive and help the children aided by the _\bC_\bh_\bi_\bl_\bd_\br_\be_\bn'_\bs _\bS_\bu_\bp_\bp_\bo_\br_\bt |
| 35 | _\bL_\be_\ba_\bg_\bu_\be _\bo_\bf _\bt_\bh_\be _\bE_\ba_\bs_\bt _\bB_\ba_\by. |

| 39 | In this age of "fiscal austerity", many small community |
| 40 | organizations -- especially those working with children -- |
| 41 | have been hard-hit by state and local budget cuts. The CSL |
| 42 | is a volunteer organization which is solely dedicated to |
| 43 | raising funds for small local agencies which help needy |
| 44 | children. Some of the agencies which have received funds |
| 45 | from CSL in the past include those using computers to com- |
| 46 | municate with disabled children, providing respite weekends |
| 47 | for abused children, counciling bereaved children, and set- |
| 48 | ting up safe after-school play areas for children in impo- |
| 49 | verished neighborhoods. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | Simply put, by sending a dollar or two along with your |
| 52 | software request, you directly benefit a child. Even if it |
| 53 | is only a dollar, it does make a difference. |

| 57 | To get a labeled copy of "Tiny 386BSD", send a high- |
| 58 | density error-free formatted floppy (either 3.5-inch or |
| 59 | 5.25-inch) and a SASE mailer to: |

| 79 | While there is no obligation to participate, if you would |
| 80 | like to help a disadvantaged child, just include a dollar or |
| 81 | two (or more, if you so desire) in your mailer and we'll |
| 82 | make sure it gets to the Children's Support League. (If you |
| 83 | send a check, please make it payable to the "Children's Sup- |
| 84 | port League of the East Bay"). |

| 89 | Thanks to the generous and enthusiastic response of the |
| 90 | D-Flat C-library users and and X-Sharp 3-D Graphics users, |
| 91 | the DDJ Careware Project has helped hundreds of people |
| 92 | throughout the country. |
| 93 | |
| 94 | While a dollar or two may seem like a trivial amount, |
| 95 | it does add up. The Brevard County Food Bank in Florida has |
| 96 | received over $3,000 in the past year alone from supportive |
| 97 | users of D-Flat, and the Vermont Association for the Blind |
| 98 | and Visually Disabled has received over $100 in the past |
| 99 | month from X-Sharp users. For these charities, a dollar or |
| 100 | two has made a difference! |
| 101 | |
| 102 | Now it's our turn. Just like the generous users of D- |
| 103 | Flat and X-Sharp, we believe that each person in the 386BSD |
| 104 | User Community is quite willing to meet the challenge and |
| 105 | help a child. We know that a dollar or two from 386BSD |
| 106 | users can make a difference as well. The choice, however, |
| 107 | is yours. |
