Path: valnet!iuvax!news!mentor.cc.purdue.edu!purdue!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!cs.utexas.edu!asuvax!mcdphx!fishpond!fnf From: fnf@fishpond.uucp (Fred Fish) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: Disks 361-370 now available Message-ID: <1990Aug16.024948.465@fishpond.uucp> Date: 16 Aug 90 02:49:48 GMT Organization: Amiga Library Services Lines: 524 Disks 361-370 are now available. Shipping to those who have preordered disks begins tomorrow (8/16/90) and should be complete by this weekend. Note that these disks contain only material that was submitted to me on standard AmigaDOS disks. Because of operator error (the details of which are too embarrassing to admit) all recent electronic submissions and usenet material have been lost. 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 for postage and a mailer or $3 for disks, postage, and mailer to: Fred Fish Catalog Disk Requests 1835 East Belmont Drive Tempe, Arizona 85284 USA 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: 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:IconX) that makes all necessary assigns, copies fonts and libraries, etc. Thanks!!! ====================================================================== CONTENTS OF DISK 361 -------------------- Brush_4D Converts IFF images into Sculpt 4D object format.
