******************************************************************************* * * * IMPACT Software Contest * * ----------------------- * * * * IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. will be sponsoring a contest for the most * * innovative NeXT software once every 4 months. All programmers who have * * access to a NeXT computer are invited to develop and submit a NeXT program. * * The software submission deadline has been extended to October 15, 1990 for * * the first contest, and to February 15, 1991 for the second contest. * * Winners of the first contest will be posted on this net on October 25. * * * * In each contest, submitted programs will be judged and scored in terms of * * its creativity, originality, and marketability. The writer of the software * * with the highest score will be awarded a $1000 prize and offered a contract * * to have the software published. The writers of 30 other highest scoring * * software in each contest will also be offered the same publishing contract. * * * * For each copy of a software sold by IMPACT, the software writer will * * receive the price of the software minus $5.00 from IMPACT. (For example, * * if a software is sold by IMPACT for $20.00 each and 1000 copies are sold, * * the software writer will receive $15,000 from IMPACT.) * * * * To submit a program, copy the executable codes onto an optical disk and * * send the disk to: * * * * IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. * * 306 College Avenue * * Ithaca, NY 14850 * * * * We will then copy and send back the disk within seven days. (If you don't * * have an extra optical disk, just send us your mailing address and we'll * * send you an optical disk to copy the program onto and return to us.) * * In addition to the executable codes, please add a README file with a brief * * description of how to use the software and where to find additional * * documentation (if any). * * * * IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. is an entrepreneurial company interested * * in publishing software written by creative independent programmers. * * IMPACT will bundle the top 31 programs from each contest for distribution, * * and will sell each software through a software key access system. * * ___________________________________________________________________________ * */ ___ _ _ ___ _ __ _____ \* *| | |\ /| | \ / \ / \ | Mark Lee |* *| | | V | |--' |---| | | Software Development Support|* *| _|_ | | | | | \__/ | mlee@cs.cornell.edu |* *| |* *| S o f t w a r e P u b l i s h i n g, I n c. |* *| |* *| 306 College Avenue, Ithaca, New York 14850 |* *\___________________________________________________________________________/* *******************************************************************************
