- @6 NEW GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAMS SUBMITTED FOR EVALUATION
- @5----------------------------------------------------
- @4
- You don't HAVE to follow these guidelines, but you will increase your
- chances of acceptance if you do, and also increase the chances, significantly
- of your program going on a future F1 CD.
- @3
- (1)
- Since there is a good chance most F1 programs will end up on a CD you
- will save us and yourselves a lot of hassle in the future if you
- make your program runnable from Workbench. This means NOT coding
- file i/o using "Sys:", "DF0:" or whatever, call the disks name.
- Load "DisksName:file" for example and not Load "DF0:file"

- It would help if your first screen was NOT low res (320X200 or 320X256)
- as this seems to cause screen corruption when running from a hi res
- WorkBench screen. We have yet to find a patch that PROPERLY solves this
- problem.

- (3)
- For gawds sake put a "Quit" option in your program, this way most programs,
- when run from the CD interface will be able to return the user back to the
- menu it was launched from.
- @5
- (4)
- Please use a standard Amigados disk, no custom formats. We need to be able
- to run it without booting it. We no longer accept non-standard disk formats
- anyway.

-
- A 1 disk demo version
- An IFF screenshot
- An ASCII description for the catalogue.
