December 1993
From: Nelson Ford, PsL
Dear Programmer,
I chose PsL's Programming Section to be the first section to be added to our
Monthly CD-ROM because many programmers have said that PsL has the largest and
best organized disk-based collection of pd/shareware programming tools and
routines and that they wished we would put it on CD.
I have been collecting, organizing and distributing pd/shareware since 1982
and some of these files may date back quite a ways. Being old does not mean
that a file has necessarily lost its value. For example, BIZ_GRAF.ZIP in the
BASIC section contains graphing routines for screen, printer and plotter that
I wrote for a book for Sydex in 1983. The algorithms in them are just as good
today.
I have attempted to weed out older files that are completely outdated,
technologically. However, my staff and I are not experts in every programming
language, and even within languages we know, there may be specific areas in
which we are not expert.
As a result, there are probably files on this CD which have outlived their
usefulness. Since we will be putting the updated Programming section on a
monthly CD again some time in the future, you can help us improve that future
CD, as well as our disk-based programming collection, by alerting us to files
which you think should be removed.
Even more importantly, if you have some interesting programming routines,
tools, tips, etc., which you would like to add to the next Programming CD,
please send it to PsL - Submissions, P.O.Box 35705, Houston, TX 77235-5705.
New material will go onto our next Monthly CD, as well as on the next CD which
features the Programming section.
And of course, if you have used your programming skills to write a public
domain or shareware program which you would like to get out to people all over
the world on our Monthly CD, please send it as well.
Thanks, and happy programming!
Nelson Ford, PsL
