GO Corporation Correspondence – PenPoint SDK 1.0a (May 29, 1992)

A letter on GO Corporation stationery from Arjen Maarleveld, Manager Developer Relations, about the final user release disks for the PenPoint (for developers).

It’s interesting to note that GO requested developers not to share this release directly with NCR 3125 customers, but instead requested that developers forward customers to NCR.
