- ==================
- Author Submissions
- ==================
-
- If you have written a program that you would like to see appear in the
- library, I encourage you to submit it directly to me, along with a letter
- or other note indicating you would like to see it included in the library.
-
- =================
- Submission Format
- =================
-
- You can increase the chances of your submission being accepted by following
- a few simple guidelines:
-
- Don't submit bootable disks or disks with any other proprietary material
- included, since I then have to go examine each file to decide if it is
- distributable or not, and if not, what effect removing it might have.
-
- Organize the distribution in a manner similar to the library disk
- organization. I.E., place all files related to a particular program under
- a single directory on the disk. If there is more than one program per
- disk, place each one in its own directory.
-
- Try to write a Product-Info file for your submission. See the Product-Info
- documentation included here for what should go in a Product-Info file, and
- the other Product-Info files included on this CD for examples.
-
- Ensure that your submission will run correctly from its subdirectory and
- that it does not depend upon the name of the disk. If necessary, supply a
- script runable from workbench (via IconX) that makes all necessary assigns,
- copies fonts and libraries, etc, or better yet, use the standard Commodore
- installer program.
-
- =========
- Shareware
- =========
-
- The preferred method for shareware to be included in the library is for it
- to be submitted directly by the author. However, shareware acquired from
- other sources (such as third party submissions or electronic services such
- as BIX or People Link) will be considered if it appears that the author
- wishes it to be widely distributed and there are no specific prohibitions
- against inclusion in libraries such as this one. The intent is not to
- exclude shareware received from other sources, but simply to ensure that
- the author has no objections to its inclusion.
-
- ===============
- WHERE TO SUBMIT
- ===============
-
- If you have ftp access, you can use anonymous ftp to submit material.
- Simply upload it to the "incoming" directory on ftp.amigalib.com. Be sure
- to include a Product-Info file as part of your submission, and a separate
- letter (if desired) that describes your submission but is not part of it
- (I.E. won't be included in the release). For example:
-
- incoming/foobar-1.5.lha (the submission)
- incoming/foobar-1.5.readme (the cover letter)
-
- Your material will be moved from the incoming directory to our CD staging
- area, usually within a day or so. Also note that the permissions on the
- incoming directory will be such that you can write to it, but not list the
- contents or otherwise access files that you don't know the full names of.
