in a nutshell, is a way to "give back" something to those
less fortunate in our community, and, at the same time,
obtain a copy of a popular piece of software featured in the
magazine -- simply by stuffing a dollar or two in your
floppy mailer for a local charity! It's that easy.
Now, as part of the DDJ Careware Program, we are making
available to the editors of DDJ the latest version of our
"Tiny 386BSD" installation floppy. Even though we have made
this software freely available -- with no contribution
required for the use of 386BSD -- we hope that the 386BSD
User Community will choose to participate in this charity
drive and help the children aided by the _

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

To get a labeled copy of "Tiny 386BSD", send a high-
density error-free formatted floppy (either 3.5-inch or
5.25-inch) and a SASE mailer to:
386BSD CAREWARE.INFO 1 July 1992
While there is no obligation to participate, if you would
like to help a disadvantaged child, just include a dollar or
two (or more, if you so desire) in your mailer and we'll
make sure it gets to the Children's Support League. (If you
send a check, please make it payable to the "Children's Sup-
port League of the East Bay").

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