I'm a u of M student in Computer Science, and I've written/am writing several different programs (in a couple different areas). My friend has info on becoming an Amiga developer, so I was wondering...is there anyone out there who can tell me more about how _I_ can become a developer (ie. gain/buy 'developer's status'). Anyone? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | - Wayne Hudson (BITNET - umhudso7@CCU.UMANITOBA.CA) | | Do ducks REALLY sit? and if so, WHY? | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anyone? Good luck! Each company has their own idea on how to do this, but in general they want people who have sold programs in the past. To give you an idea of how strictly that is interpreted, one of our projects tried to get an early release of a popular software product. Although the software we were developing would have an initial release of 5000+ users, it was in-house and not sold, therefore we didn't qualify. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
