How to Edit Your Club's Newsletter
Second Edition

As soon as I had printed the first edition of How to Edit Your Club's Newsletter, I began to revise the files, intending to print a second edition when the first had sold out.  It still hasn't sold out — if you want a copy, it's available from the author for only $5 postpaid.  Write to joy beeson at earthlink dot net.

In the meanwhile, I've given up editing, so I no longer have anything to say, and advances in computing have rendered whole chapters obsolete.  There will never be a second edition.  But there is still a lot of good stuff in there, so I make the files available on the Web.
Comments and criticism are solicited:   joy beeson's e-mail address I apologize for asking you to re-type a graphic, but I dare not publish my address in spambot-readable form.

Most browsers refuse to read text files that don't have the extension "txt".  You can download the files and read them with a more-cooperative program, or rename them to suit the prejudices of whatever text reader or word processor you happen to be using.

While using someone else's machine, I discovered that Notepad refuses to recognize the carriage returns in .man files, even if you change the extension to .txt first, but it reads .txt files with the same carriage returns just fine.  ???  Whatever, Wordpad had no trouble.

With any reader, you are going to find all the non-printing stuff plainly visible.  I may do something about that when I've finished marking up Shuttle Solitaire.  In the meanwhile, just page down — most of the non-printing stuff is at the top of the file, though you will find a line of strange symbols in each place where I've changed format.

So I tried the link after moving this file, and Notepad read the columns just fine.
