STATUS REPORT ON THE VENDINFO PROJECT
(now in "beta-test", 10/25/93)
VENDINFO System Enters Beta Test
Beta testing has begun on portions of the initial VENDINFO
system. The VendLib Software Developer's Library entered
beta test on 10/12/93, and beta testing began on the
VendPrcs processor on 10/20/93. The last component of the
initial toolset should enter beta testing around the first
week of November. If testing proceeds quickly and well, we
hope to release the basic toolset around the end of November.
VENDINFO is almost a reality!
VENDINFO Article in Shareware Magazine
Watch for an article on VENDINFO in the November/December issue
of Shareware Magazine.
New VENDINFO.DOC Provides Better Introduction to VENDINFO
A new and much improved introduction to the VENDINFO system has
been prepared, and is included in this package as VENDINFO.DOC.
The original concept paper, CONCEPT.DOC is still in the package,
though it will be phased out as this new document is expanded to
fully replace it. The current version of the file-format standard
is still here, as STANDARD.DOC.
Developers Should Note
Only very minor changes have been made to the standard in this
version 0.93. A new distribution type has been added, "Test
Version, not distributable", to provide clear handling of test
software sent to beta testers. Other changes are even smaller,
and are unlikely to affect BBS and BBS-utility developers.
