We want you to send us your programs, animations, pictures, game tips
and cheats, hacks, hardware projects, basically anything you can think of that
you have done with your Amiga. It must be your own work - no passing off Chris
Achilleos' greatest masterpieces as your own, and we need a variety of things
from you in addition to your submission and we need them on your disk.
|
- We need your name and address so that we know where to send your prize. You should also put your name and address on labels on your media.
- We need two read me files accompanying your work; one for us and one
to go on the CD itself (title them AF_ReadMe and ReadMe). These can be
as in-depth as you want them to be, but should contain instructions for
us on getting your work running if it is a complicated procedure,
including things like necessary libraries and so on. The readme that
will go on the CD will be the introduction of your work to the whole
Amiga Format reading world so check your spelling and grammar and show
people just what is so good about your work.
- If your work requires files such as libraries which you cannot send
us owing to copyright reasons make sure we know about them so that we
can either arrange to put them on the CD, or warn our readers about
them (you will probably do this in your CD read me).
- Be aware that we won't be as interested in programs that need to
boot or that require to be in a certain place on the CD, unless, of
course, that place happens to be in your directory on the CD. Your
directory will almost certainly have the path:
"AFCDx:ReaderStuff/your_name/" but then no-one will be able to run your
program except from the CD, limiting its usefulness or appeal.
If we do put something on the CD that needs to autoboot, it will almost
certainly only be as a DMS that readers will have to extract to disk
before they can use it.
- Lastly, your submission must include the following text within your
AF_ReadMe file, otherwise your submission will not go on the CD:
In respect of all material which forms my reader contribution to Future Publishing's Amiga Format I hereby warrant
that:-
(1) the material is original and does not infringe any other material or rights;
(2) the material does not contain any material which is defamatory, obscene or indecent and is exempt from classification under the Video Recordings Act 1984;
(3) that there are no legal claims against the material provided;
(4) that I have full power and authority to provide this material to Future Publishing.
(There is a version of this text as a file in the -Look_here_1st!- drawer on the CD.)
You can send us your work on pretty much any sort of media whether it be floppy
disks (high or double density, but don't send us work on high density disks
unless you yourself have a high density drive. High density disks used in a
double density drive aren't as reliable as using double density disks), a
floppy disk back up using AmiBack, Quarterback or any of the shareware backup
tools, Zip disk, Jaz cartridge, SyQuest 44MB, 88MB or 105MB or EZ Drive, DAT
tape backup from any of the above-mentioned programs (the only thing we're not
very keen on is the Video Backup System that Power Computing sell in the UK,
we've had nothing but trouble with it), MIME e-mail to afcdsubs@futurenet.co.uk,
basically anything apart from a listing on paper. We don't want to have to type
in your program too!
We will return any media more expensive than high density floppies via
registered post, so you won't have to worry about losing seventy quid's worth
of Jaz cartridge.
