Submissions
(Revised 1/24/91)
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.
