Hi,
I send the following letter (TeX format) at Commodore
Canada two and one month ago (two times) asking for informations
about getting the developper's status. I never had any responses.
Is there anybody on this net having relations with Commodore Canada
which can explain to me why I never get responses? Is it possible
to registered as developper in Canada?
Edouard Boily

\opening{Dear Mrs. Dawson,}
We are a team working on a software project and we would like
to get the Amiga developer's status. We would like to have it
individually, so if you need to send us forms to fill, send three
copies please to the address above to Edouard Boily.
The software that we are currently doing is called AmiGraph.
It's a high--end scientific data plotter. Considerable efforts have
been made to create a highly professional and intuitive user
interface. The software is modular, meaning that combining differents
applications modules, it can fill the needs of almost every domain
where data plotting is needed. It is also library based making
updates relatively easy. It also uses the multitasking capabilities
of the Amiga for it's inputs/outputs devices.
We are very confident that this first project will fill a need
in the Amiga world. Scientific applications is a field not very well
exploited by the Amiga developers community and we intend to remedy to
this situation.
Two of us have a Ph. D. in physics while the other one is
currently finishing his Ph. D. in Astrophysics. This make us
knowledgeable of what the need is and how to encounter it.
We hope that we will read from you soon.
\closing{Best regards,}

Edouard, re: your question about getting developer's status in Canada
Might I suggest that if you don't hear soon, you should go ahead and
contact Commodore in West Chester and apply for status through them.
When I was in Canada, I was registered with West Chester and they didn't
seem to have any problem with that.
Keep trying. You sound well-qualified, and I'm excited about your applica-
tion. We need more software like this for the Amiga. Good luck. The
address, if you should choose to use it, for Commodore U.S is:
Computer Systems Divisions
1200 Wilson Drive
West Chester, PA 19380 (215) 431-9100
(At least, this is the return address and number listed on the corres-
pondence from them the last time I renewed. With all the changes, one never
knows if the phone number is still current.)
Good luck, Julie (LadyHawke)ewout@topcat.cbm.commodore.com (Ewout Walraven - CATS) (09/06/90)

Canadian applications for developer status ought to be send to Commodore Canada. They will forward it to CATS with their recommendation. If all is well we'll take it from there. Note that requiring local recommendation is not ment as an extra hurdle but as a possibility for the local subsidiary to stress the importance of a planned product or a developer for the local market, so that developer status might be granted even though the regular requirements might not be met. ec.
