In a perfect world, S-max and Andrew.BAS would be
|
||
|
|
mission commanders on the space shuttle, but due to the
|
||
|
|
ineptitude of Fate, the computer hardware engineer and the
|
||
|
|
programmer wind up working for a government defense
|
||
|
|
contractor instead. When they lose their jobs, thanks to
|
||
|
|
the hardware hacker's shenanigans, they start a high-tech
|
||
|
|
company.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is a bi-weekly
|
||
|
|
chronicle of a computer startup where technological
|
||
|
|
innovation never comes without a measure of chaos. In the
|
||
|
|
coming months, you'll meet S-max, Lone Wolf Scientific's
|
||
|
|
Macchiavellian Head of Hardware who plots to change the
|
||
|
|
world with his Rube Goldbergish inventions, his soft-spoken
|
||
|
|
programmer sidekick, Andrew.BAS, who names all his programs
|
||
|
|
after successful Apollo flights, and Congressman Boris Q.
|
||
|
|
Popinrath, a technology gunho politician who finds in Lone
|
||
|
|
Wolf Scientific the only reason he can give constituents to
|
||
|
|
re-elect him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"The Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" is an
|
||
|
|
electronically syndicated series. New installments appear
|
||
|
|
every two weeks (barring any misadventures on the part of
|
||
|
|
the author) on better computer bulletin boards and
|
||
|
|
electronic online services everywhere.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll find the latest installments of "The Adventures
|
||
|
|
of Lone Wolf Scientific" in:

the Computer & Science collection
|

as well as on numerous participating bulletin boards.
|

|
(Because of the delays associated with posting files in the
|
||
|
|
software collections on GEnie, installments may not appear
|
||
|
|
there until several days after their release date. The best
|
||
|
|
place from which to download episodes is Exec-PC.) "The
|
||
|
|
Adventures of Lone Wolf Scientific" can no longer be found
|
||
|
|
on CompuServe since the service discontinued its WITSIG
|

|

forum.

If you would like "The Adventures of Lone Wolf
|
||
|
|
Scientific" to be uploaded to your BBS/online service free
|
||
|
|
of charge, just drop a note to one of the mailboxes listed
|

below.

You may upload episodes of "The Adventures of Lone Wolf

|
wish. You may also print them out and distribute them--in

||
|
|
hardcopy or electronically--to friends, colleagues, loved
|
||
|
|
ones, whomever you wish. ("The Adventures of Lone Wolf
|
||
|
|
Scientific" go particularly well on company LANs.)
|
||
|
|
You may not charge anyone anything for your reproducing
|
||
|
|
efforts except maybe for an occasional cup of coffee or a
|
||
|
|
doughnut--you may demand a fee of one of those.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only responsibility that will be placed on your

|

|
||
|
|
WELCOME.LWS, and the accompanying file EPISOD.LWS which
|

|
|
lists all previous episodes and the order in which they
|
||
|
|
first appeared.

I hope that you enjoy "The Adventures of Lone Wolf

my life. Hopefully, reading them will be one of the joys of
