******************************************************************************* * * * IMPACT Software Contest * * ----------------------- * * * * During the Fall of 1990, IMPACT Software Publishing sponsored a software * * contest for the NeXT computer. The top prize of $1000 was then awarded to * * Dr. Michael J. Mezzino at the University of Houston - Clear Lake for his * * innovative PhaseScope program. (PhaseScope is featured in the Winter 1991 * * issue of "NeXT on Campus".) * * * * We are subsequently sponsoring a second software contest this year with an * * extended software submission deadline of April 15, 1991. All programmers * * who have who have access to a NeXT computer are invited to develop and * * submit a NeXT program. (We will also be sponsoring a third software * * contest with a tentative submission deadline of October 15, 1991.) * * * * The winner of the second contest will be announced on this net on April 25, * * 1991. The writer of the best submitted program will be awarded a $1000 * * prize and offered a contract to have the software published. In addition, * * IMPACT will offer a publishing contract for any other submitted program * * which shows creativity, originality, and marketability. * * * * If the publishing contract is accepted, IMPACT will work with the writer to * * further develop the program and will then distribute and sell copies of the * * software for the writer for a flat fee ranging from $5 to $10. Thus, if a * * software price of $30 is agreed upon, then for each copy of the software * * sold by IMPACT, the writer will receive between $20 to $25 from IMPACT. * * * * * * To submit a program, copy the executable codes onto a floppy disk and send * * the disk to: * * * * IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. * * 306 College Avenue * * Ithaca, NY 14850 * * * * Or else, send a NeXT-mail with the program attached to mlee@cs.cornell.edu. * * 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 is an entrepreneurial company interested in * * publishing software written by creative independent programmers. IMPACT * * will bundle the top programs and distribute them using floppy disks, * * optical disks, and CD-ROMs. Copies of the top programs will be sold * * through a machine-independent software key access system. * * ___________________________________________________________________________ * */ ___ _ _ ___ _ __ _____ \* *| | |\ /| | \ / \ / \ | Daniel Hung |* *| | | V | |--' |---| | | IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc.|* *| _|_ | | | | | \__/ | l3my@vax5.cit.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 |* *\___________________________________________________________________________/* *******************************************************************************
