Guide to Submissions for Hobbes
Object
------
The object of this document is to establish the policies/procedures for
submissions to hobbes archive site.
Scope
-----
The preferred and accepted methods of submitting to hobbes are
described. General guidelines for content and handling are given.
Preferred Format
----------------
The preferred format for a submission is a ZIP archive compressed with the
highest compression setting '-9' with a clear description of what the program
does in an accompanying .TXT file AND COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION INCLUDED
INSIDE THE BINARY. If an executable in the archive requires a .DLL or some
other library not included with shrink-wrapped operating system, please include
it in the archive.
* I WILL reject archives with no documentation included *
Archives are useless without documentation. A program's functions
may be 'obvious' to you, but they may not be to others. Please be sure
to include documentation (hopefully complete) with your binaries.
Please limit program filename length(s) to the FAT-compatible 8.3
character length. HPFS/NTFS-aware programs are greatly encouraged, but
please limit the program's filename(s) to FAT-length so the FAT folks
can use the binaries also.
What to Send
------------
Utilities and device drivers are tops in usefulness, followed by
applications. Games are interesting, but not highly useful. Anything
which has adquate documentation will normally be added to the
archive. Both OS/2 16-bit and 32-bit binaries will be accepted, but due
to the popularity of OS/2 2.x/Warp, preference is given towards 32-bit
binaries. Please indicate what version(s) of OS/2 the binaries
you submit may/may not run on. Windows 95/Windows NT 32-binaries are also
acceptable.
Please upload an accompanying .TXT file with a description of
what the program is or does, where it should go in the archive,
and why it is freely distributable.
What Not to Send
----------------
Don't send commercial software, old out of date versions, etc. If you
wouldn't pay to download it from a BBS, most people will not want to
pay to send it around the world.
Questions
---------
Mail to misha@bindview.com if you want to know if I have something, if you
want to hold up something in the queue for an update, etc.
