Disks 331-340 are now available. Shipping to those who have preordered
disks begins tomorrow (3/24) and should be complete by this weekend.
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 (prefered method)

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!!!

CRobots A game based on computer programming. Unlike arcade type
games which require human input controlling some object,
all strategy in CRobots is condensed into a C language

robots, each running different programs. All robots are
equally equipped, and up to four may compete at once.

the PLT: device, and support for file conversions. Rich
Champeaux and Jim Miller wrote the PLT: handler which
emulates a plotter by accepting HP-GL commands, creating

changes, and enhancements. Includes source.

converters for raw images, like DigiView files, and
output converters for PostScript and Diablo graphics.

manipulation operations supported include rectangular
extraction, density and contrast changes, rotation,
quantization, halftone grayscaling, edge sharpening,
and histograms. Version 0.9, binary only.
