- 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:
-
- (1) 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.
-
- (2) 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.
-
- (3) 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.
-
- (4) 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
- runnable from workbench (via c:IconX) that makes all
- necessary assigns, copies fonts and libraries, etc.
-
- Shareware
-
- The prefered 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.
