Do you hu(®}nger for acknowledgement of your abilities from someone in a position to know the good from the bad? Have you ever wanted to(™} try something just to see if you could do it? If you can answer "yes" to these questions then you know what prompted me to (ij}submit Customer List Manager to Antic Magazine.¢ Which one pushed me over the edge? I don't know. Any one of them might(IJ} have been the final shove. Or possibly it was that I had written a program for the family business that did something I had(א}n't seen done before, at least in my limited experience. We have had a roadside retail vegetable business for almost thirty (ב}years. In fact, the income from this operation went a long way towards helping my three brothers and me through college, and(ג}, with the way housing is springing up all over the Town of Pompey, it looks as if this part of our farm shows the most poten(ד}tial for growth. It also seems to be the area most easily aided by a computer. My mother, who has been the driving force be(ה}hind the development of the business, devised a notebook system several years ago to keep track of the past orders of certain(ו} regular customers, as an aid to future business. This system worked well, but did have it's drawbacks. Because it was on p(ז}aper, after a few years of additions, deletions, and changes, it became increasingly difficult to find specific information (ח}when needed. Computerization seemed the natural step to take, but after searching for two years, I never found a database th(ט}at would handle a shifting history window the way I wanted. I struggled for a while with a modified mailing list program, bu(י}t it was too ponderous to use and actually created more work than it saved. I had no idea of the amount and quality of publi(כ}c domain software at the time, but since then I haven't seen anything there that would fill the bill, either. I finally deci(ל}ded that if I was going to get a program to do what I needed to have done, I would have to write it myself. Besides, I love (מ}a challenge! So, after taking longer than I care to admit, I came up with Customer List Manager. When I was finished, I cou(נ}ld see that it was some of the best programming I had ever done, and I began to think that I finally had a program that had a(ס} chance at being accepted by Antic. After deciding to take the plunge, I fired up Speedscript 3.0, wrote the article, and ma(ע}iled it to the Antic offices in San Francisco. After all, the worst they could say was "No".¢ Three weeks later, around (פ}the end of March, I received an acceptance letter, two copies of the Copyright and Trademark Agreement to sign (one for me, o(צ}ne for them), and a short questionaire concerning a little biographical information and the extent of my computer equipment. (ק} I signed the agreement and rushed it back to them before they changed their minds about it. I was on air for at least two w(ר}eeks, and I'm not sure I'm all the way back down even yet. The feeling is...is...well, indescribable. I recommend it to any(ש}one!¢ The article appeared in the August 1989 issue, which was published around the first week of July. From what I can (ת}determine, this is about the minimum time for something of this type. Antic was a monthly then. The bimonthly schedule the (ן}magazine uses now would probably change the timetable. Whatever amount I had settled down from the acceptance letter was eli(ך}minated about double when a national magazine actually came out containing my byline for all to see. I felt like framing som(ם}ething to hang on the wall. Everybody in my family had to read it, even those who don't know where the power switch is on my(ף} 800-and my hat started to get a lot tighter.¢ When the check arrived, it was a little larger than I was expecting, becau(ץ}se the Antic editors had made a few changes in the article, and I didn't expect to be paid for those parts. It was big enoug(§}h to pay for the original cost of my 1025 printer and XF551 disk drive. My article was longer than the usual that Antic publ(∧}ishes, but I needed the extra length to get in all the information.¢ That's about all there was to it-the hard parts were(∞} the initial programming and getting up the courage to submit it at all. There were no rewrites, no changes to make of any k(α}ind. Once the agreement was signed, all I had to do was sit back and wait.¢ So, if any of you have a program of which y(β}ou are particularly proud, use your word processor to write up an article and send it in! All you can lose is the postage, a(Γ}nd you might just be able to return something to your bank account that your computer has taken away. As an aid for those wh(π}o haven't done something like this before, I am including the text from the latest Writer's Guides from Antic and her sister (Σ}publication for the ST, START. If you are interested, be sure to read both even if you use only 8-bit or only ST. Each Guid(σ}e contains tips that are helpful no matter which magazine is appropriate. These guides are available from Antic and START on(µ} request if a SASE is enclosed. I am also including the text of the agreement that you must sign if your program is to be pu(τ}blished, just so you're aware of exactly what you are selling if your submission is accepted.¢¢¢ANTIC WRITER'S GUIDE-1988¢¢Th(Φ}anks for your interest in writing for Antic, The Atari Resource. Antic Publishing Inc. is an independent company that since (Θ}1982 has brought out the #1 magazine for Atari computer users.¢¢WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:¢¢We pay for the best in type-in Atari(Ω} programs, for either the 8-bit or the ST.(Antic dropped ST coverage and went all 8-bit with the February 1989 issue. Why th(δ}ey haven't revised this is beyond me.-TA) Antic is looking for useful, practical applications, for tutorial demonstrations t(∮}hat teach readers how to program more effectively, or for entertaining games.¢¢Antic is open for freelance reviews -- and for(ϕ} freelance articles without programs. If you have never written for us before, you'll need to send a sample review or articl(∈}e so your writing can be evaluated before we consider you for an assignment.¢¢LANGUAGES:¢¢Our languages of choice are Atari B(∩}ASIC and MAC/65 assembler, for the 8-bit. For the ST, in order of preference: GFA BASIC, ST BASIC, or C.¢¢HOW TO SEND IT (SU(≡}BMISSION FORMATS)¢¢Please send Antic your program and articles on both disk and printout. This combination makes it much eas(±}ier for us to evaluate your material in depth. All 8-bit programs submitted on disk should be single density, in a DOS compa(≥}tible to Atari DOS 2.0s or 2.5. Please - no DOS 3 or DOS 4! Also include copies of any tables, diagrams or photos that are (≤}necessary to the article. And be sure to include your name and address!¢¢Make a double-spaced printout of the article. If y(⌠}ou don't have a printer, you can send Antic your typed manuscript. The program listing(s) may be single-spaced. In your cov(⌡}er letter, be sure to tell us what word processing software you used for your text file. Antic uses Paper Clip in-house, but(÷} we can convert the files of just about any other Atari word processor.¢¢Basic programs may be in either SAVEd or LISTed form(≈}, but should be numbered below 32000. Please avoid branching to REM statements. Assembler source code should be in LISTed f(°}orm. All submissions should contain loading instructions on either the cover letter, or on the disk label.¢¢Don't send your (∙}article to another magazine at the same time you send it to us. We're pretty good about letting you know as soon as possible(·}...generally a reply is sent out in three to four weeks.¢¢WRITING HINTS¢¢As with any other publication, the best way to under(√}stand how to write for Antic is to look carefully at the writing in recent issues.¢¢Remember that all levels of Atari program(ⁿ}mers read Antic, from beginners to advanced users. Try to make your article understandable to the widest range of readers po(²}ssible -- although we regognize that some advanced topics are beyond the grasp of beginners.¢¢Your writing style should be co(³}nversational but not cutesy. You might find it helpful to think of yourself as speaking about your program to one person -- (¯}who doesn't know quite as much about the Atari as you do.¢¢Provide all the information needed for the reader to operate the p) }rogram correctly. And be sure to explain how the main parts of your program are constructed.¢¢PROGRAMMING HINTS¢¢Ask yoursel)⇧}f these questions before sending your material:¢--Is the program menu driven, well trapped and easy to operate?¢--Is the purp)⇩}ose valuable enough so that large numbers of readers would want to type it in?¢--Has the same thing been done before?¢¢RETURN)⇨}ING YOUR MATERIAL¢¢If you want your material back, you must always include a PRE-PAID, SELF-ADDRESSED RETURN ENVELOPE.¢¢Sorry)⇦}...we usually don't have time to send personal comments or suggestions with your returned material.¢¢PAYMENT¢¢Antic pays $60 )❎}per published page. (illustrations and headlines created by the magazine are not included.) For a normal-sized article and p)╱}rogram, you'd probably get around $180. We don't pay for letters to the editor published in the I/O Board or Help! section. )◆}Antic pays $25 for every new and original Tech Tip published.¢¢Antic pays on Publication. Specifically, your check should be)✓} printed and mailed before the 25th day of the actual publication month; usually they're done earlier. (for example, the issu) }e with February on the cover is actually out around January 1 and author checks are issued before January 25.)¢¢Your material)
} is accepted for publication within one year. (It's usually much sooner.) If we don't use it in a year, you get it back with )♪}a kill fee and our sincere apologies. Fortunately, this doesn't happen very often.¢¢COPYRIGHT¢¢Antic purchases all rights to) } any material we publish in the magazine. But we don't stand in your way if you have a chance for a non-competing resale (bo)}ok,etc.), just as long as Antic is credited as the original publisher.¢¢¢¢START AUTHOR GUIDELINES¢¢Thanks for your interest i)}n writing for START Magazine.¢¢We're looking for Atari ST programs and articles that will appeal to a wide spectrum of users )}and programmers. Freelance programs are always welcome, and though most of our reviews are pre-assigned to regular contribut)⓪}ers, we do accept occasional freelance reviews and articles. A query -- with writing sample -- is recommended for longer art)①}icles.¢¢As with any publication, the best way to understand how to write for START is to look carefully at the articles in re)②}cent issues. Originally START was oriented towards programmers; at this stage, the magazine is directed more towards the ser)③}ious user, with extensive coverage of software options for MIDI, home, and business users. Programs on disk cover a wide ran)④}ge of applications, and we try to include at least one game each month. Most important, programs need to be new and differen)⑤}t. One of the most common reasons for rejecting programs is that they are too similar to something we've run before, or to a)⑥} widely available public domain program. Again, familiarity with START is your best guide as to the sorts of programs we run,)⑦} and what has already been published.¢¢GFA BASIC is currently our contributors' most popular programming language, but just a)⑧}bout any language with a run-time version is acceptable. (ST BASIC is NOT recommended at this time.) Personal Pascal, Mark )⑨}Williams' C and Laser C are some of the more common choices, but you are in no way limited to any specific language.¢¢There a)ə}re no set rates for payment. The rate for a piece will be discussed on acceptance. Length, complexity and quality are all c)}onsidered in determining payment for an individual piece. Payment is made on publication, and if a piece is accepted but not)} published a kill fee will be paid. Generally, Antic Publishing purchases all rights to programs and articles.¢¢Article subm)}issions must be made both on disk and hardcopy. (source code for programs should be included on the disk, but a printout is )}not required.) We can handle most word processors, or ASCII text files. Please include a cover letter with your submission )}which describes briefly the focus of your article or program and its intended audience. Your name, address, daytime and even) }ing phone numbers should be on the cover letter, as well as a three-line bio of yourself. Enclose a self-addressed, stamped )!}envelope if you want your materials returned to you.¢¢Thank you again for your interest in START. We are always on the looko)"}ut for new programs and articles, and encourage you to submit any programs or articles you think we'd be interested in.¢¢¢ANT)#}IC MAGAZINE¢COPYRIGHT AND TRADEMARK ASSIGNMENT¢¢This Agreement is made this ---day of ----,198-, by and between Antic Publish)$}ing, Inc., a California corporation with principal offices at 544 Second Street, San Francisco,CA 94107 (hereinafter "Antic"))%} and ---------, an individual residing at -----------(hereinafter "Author").¢¢For and in consideration of the mutual represen)&}tations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of)'} which is hereby acknowledged, Antic and Author agree as follows:¢¢1.

He wanted to be sure that I understood that I was giving up ALL the rig)K}hts to the program, and that Antic could subsequently do anything they wanted with it. Other than that, he didn't have any p)L}roblems with it.¢¢ Now I'll add a few tips of my own, gathered from my own experience. Please remember that I have been )M}successful in getting accepted only once, and my opinions and conclusions might be all wet. All I can say is that they make )N}sense to me.¢ First of all, be prepared for rejection and don't take it personally. I submitted two other programs with )O}Customer List Manager and two more since then. None were accepted. Two were probably too limited in their appeal, one of th)P}em used a programming technique that could easily crash the system if not used properly, and the other was probably judged no)Q}t useful enough to type in for its length. A rejection does not necessarily mean that your submission had no merit-it just m)R}eans that they can't use it right now. Don't expect any comments from the editor on the reasons for your rejection, much as )S}you might like to have them. Maybe they already have a backlog of accepted programs a mile high. Maybe it closely resembles)T} another submission or a public domain program you are unaware of. Maybe it just doesn't fit their desired editorial directi)U}on. Maybe it needs a little more work-some error trapping or other refinements. Remember, there are only six Antics a year,)V} each one using from 5 to 7 or so programs. Also, much of the magazine market has disappeared, so most of the authors who we)W}re submitting to the other magazines are now submitting to Antic, meaning that the competition is tougher. Of course, this s)X}ituation only sweetens the success.¢ All right, how about some positive advice! Error trapping is VERY important! A pro)Y}gram that crashes because someone inputs a letter instead of a number will not be accepted, no matter how useful it might be.)Z} Try to anticipate any error that some idiot might make and compensate for it in your program. When you have that done, ant)[}icipate all the errors that the same idiot couldn't possibly make but will anyway, and compensate for them, too. Never forge)\}t Murphy's Law! Customer List Manager went through at least six major revisions and countless minor ones before the publishe)]}d version was produced.¢ Programs should be efficient and easy to run. Modular programming methods are best and spaghett)^}i code is to be avoided at all costs. One of the purposes of these publications is to illustrate and promote good programmin)_}g technique, so they aren't going to appreciate programs that don't use it. This is the easiest (and usually best) way to pr)`}ogram, anyway.¢ Try to write your programs so that they will work with as wide a range of equipment as possible in your c)a}lass, be it 8-bit or ST. The more people that can use your program, no matter what system used, the better. It is indeed fo)b}rtunate that the Atari 8-bit Operating System has remained as compatable as it has over all models. The ST is probably the s)c}ame, although I can't say from personal experience. Use this compatability!¢ When writing the article, be as concise as )d}you can while still getting in all the pertinent information. Articles that are overlong or obviously padded to increase the)e} length reduce the chances of being accepted. Spelling and grammar are also important. Watch those typos! The main strengt)f}h of a word processor is in its editing capabilities, so use them! If you don't have a word processor, there are two good on)g}es available for the 8-bit from the public domain-Speedscript and TextPro. There are no doubt some for the ST as well.
