Must be Amiga code (samples or bitmaps alone isn't good enough). 2. No demos. 3. No commercial software (shareware that demands money is commercial). (Shareware that asks for money but doesn't require it is ok). 4. Must be freely distributable (it can be copyrighted as long as permission is given to distribute *and* redistribute). Format: I can decode most anything, although the easiest for me are split uuencoded zoo or lharc files. Helpful: 1. Include a package name *and* a version number (ie, Clicker 2.2). 2. Include a brief description of what it is/does. (Saying ``Version 2.2 of Clicker'' doesn't tell me much). 3. Separate the binaries submission from the sources submission. 4. Keep each part less than 100k. Where: 1. Mail submissions to <amiga@cs.odu.edu>. 2. Post submissions to comp.binaries.amiga. ...tad

How do you post to comp.binaries? I just tried to do it the same way I am posting this, but nothing has shown up. Alan whinery@hale.ifa.hawaii.edu

If your news system is properly configured, your posting was turned into an email message to <comp-binaries-amiga@some-backbone-site>. That backbone site will then forward it to <amiga@uunet.uu.net>, and when it arrives an automatic response will be sent directly to you. You can, of course, just mail your submission directly to <amiga@uunet.uu.net> and avoid most of the above. Doing so increases the chances that your submission will be received unscathed. Your posting will *not* appear instantly as it does with comp.sys.amiga, so please don't post several times thinking something must be broken... ...tad
