Submissions
(Revised 10/9/93)
Author Submissions
------------------
If you have written a program that you would like to see appear in the
library, I encourage you to submit it on disk directly to me, along with a
letter indicating you would like to see it included in the library.
Submission Format
-----------------
You can increase the chances of your submission being accepted by
following a few simple guidelines:
Don't submit bootable disks or disks with any other proprietary material
included, since I then have to go examine each file to decide if it is
distributable or not, and if not, what effect removing it might have.
Organize the distribution in a manner similar to the library disk
organization. I.E., place all files related to a particular program under
a single directory on the disk. If there is more than one program per
disk, place each one in its own directory.
Try to write a simple entry for the "Contents" listing that summarizes
your submission. It should be about 3-10 lines, and include the current
version number, the version and disk number of the most recent version (if
any) that was last included in the library, whether or not source is
included, and an "Author" list.
Ensure that your submission will run correctly from its subdirectory and
that it does not depend upon the name of the disk. If necessary, supply a
script runable from workbench (via IconX) that makes all necessary
assigns, copies fonts and libraries, etc, or better yet, use the standard
Commodore installer program.
Shareware
---------
The preferred method for shareware to be included in the library is for it
to be submitted directly by the author. However, shareware acquired from
other sources (such as third party submissions or electronic services such
as BIX or People Link) will be considered if it appears that the author
wishes it to be widely distributed and there are no specific prohibitions
against inclusion in libraries such as this one. The intent is not to
exclude shareware received from other sources, but simply to ensure that
the author has no objections to its inclusion.
