II. Object Catalog: Call for Submissions
Dear NeXTSTEP Object Designers:
In July of this year, NeXT will publish the first-ever
"object" catalog. The catalog will promote all the fantastic
NeXTSTEP objects currently available, both commercially and through
the public domain. At the same time, the catalog will help educate
customers and the entire industry about the benefits of NeXTSTEP
objects and object-oriented technology.
NeXT is clearly the object-oriented leader: NeXTSTEP is the only
object-oriented system software shipping today. To get the word out,
we'd like to release an outstanding catalog filled with descriptions
of the objects written by developers and users alike.
That's where we'd like your help.
You can leave an indelible mark on the NeXTSTEP object
community by submitting descriptions of your objects for listing in
our catalog. It's simple. Just complete the attached form and
return it to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slove@next.com <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
by June 1, 1992. Your submission(s) will then appear in the catalog,
which will reach thousands of current and prospective NeXTSTEP users
and developers throughout the world.
So get your listings to us today, and help spread the word
about NeXTSTEP objects. If you are not currently developing NeXTSTEP
objects but know people who are, please forward this message on to them.
Thanks from everyone at NeXT!
