fnf@fishpond.uucp (Fred Fish) (01/03/91)
Given that disks 421-430 are nearing completion, I guess it is about time
I posted the contents of 411-420. Guess I got lazy over the holidays...
Disks 411-420 are now available. All shipping to those that preordered
disks was complete about a week ago.
Note that you can get a copy of the catalog (2 disks) of the complete
library contents by sending either:
Two new blank disks with no labels (you'll get back
different disks because yours will just go into the
"bulk blank disk pool") and $1 to cover postage and mailer
or
$3 for disks, postage, and mailer (prefered way)
to:

Thanks to all who submitted new and interesting material. If you submitted
something in the past and it has not yet appeared in the library, please
feel free to resubmit it, particularly if it was several months ago. I
sometimes hesitate to include material submitted more than about six
months ago because of some vague feeling that as soon as I include version
1.01 submitted many months ago, I'll see version 5.23 posted on usenet.
For those wishing to submit material for possible inclusion in the library,
here are a few simple guidelines that will make my job of organizing the
material MUCH easier and GREATLY increase your chances of having the material
accepted for inclusion:
1. Don't submit bootable disks or disks with any other
sort of 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.
2. Organize the distribution in a manner similar to my
disks. I.E, place all files related to a particular
submission under a single directory on the disk. If
there is more than one submission per disk, it's ok to
to place each submission in it's own directory.
3. Try to write a simple entry for my "Contents" listing
that summarizes your submission. It should be about
3-10 lines, and include the current version number,
the version and disk number of the most recent version
(if any) that was last included in the library, whether
or not source is included, and an "Author" list.
4. Ensure that your submission will run correctly from
it's subdirectory and if necessary, supply a script
runnable from workbench (via :c/xicon) that makes all
necessary assigns, copies fonts and libraries, etc.
Thanks!!!
