This document contains information on various people you can write to, or sometimes email, for coder's and PD services such as libraries. Mostly PD things, but there is a seperate list of general clubs, usergroups, and magazines too.
The Public Domain Libraries are where the bigger collections of PD hang-out, and you can 'order' a collection or specific ones from these places, they are allowed to charge for costs for repair and postage, but not to sell the actual PD itself for profit. Below that are the Coders.
Please inform me of any others you know in other countries or in England.Please bear in mind that the programming groups are not PD libraries and won't usually just send you stuff for nothing - it's a good idea to have new programs to swap with them.
Only the coders and PD Libraries known to me can be listed here. So if you know of another, or indeed are another libary or Speccy group, I would very much like to hear from you. If you think there is some missing information you can supply, do not hesitate to contact me also!
I have tried to include for each group: name, whether a group or a person, country, members, programs produced and there will be more information on some (the more famous / internet aware / people I know).
In the addresses below, [xx] is the country - if none specified then they are
English.
If the country is next to a group name, all the group come
from that country (AFAIK) unless there is a specific [??] mark
next to a person's name/pseudonymm, in which case only that
person is from the specified country.
Three dots (...) represent missing info, badly needed (!).
What follows is a list of quite a few coding teams and people who either have been, or still are, writing things for the Spectrum.
NOTE: It's supposed to be in alphabetical order, but it's my order not a program's. So there may be a few out of place. Words like "The" are placed at the end, and spaces are ignored, so "The Mad Guys" would be indexed as "Mad Guys The".
There is also an index to all the groups with more detailed information.
