******************************************************************************* * * * IMPACT Second Software Contest * * ------------------------------ * * * * IMPACT Software Publishing, Inc. is sponsoring a second software contest * * for the NeXT computer. All programmers who have access to a NeXT computer * * are invited to develop and submit a NeXT program. The software submission * * deadline for the second software contest is February 15, 1991, but programs * * may be submitted any time before the deadline. The writer of the best * * submitted software will be awarded a $1000 prize and offered a contract to * * have the software published. * * * * Each submitted program will be evaluated as soon as it is received, and * * IMPACT will immediately offer a publishing contract for any 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 flat fee of * * $10 is agreed upon, then for each copy of a software sold by IMPACT, the * * writer will receive the price of the software minus $10 from IMPACT. * * (For example, if the writer decides to price the software at $30 each and * * 1000 copies are sold by IMPACT, then the software writer will receive * * $20,000 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, Inc. is an entrepreneurial company interested * * in publishing software written by creative independent programmers. IMPACT * * will bundle the top programs and distribute them using CD-ROMs, optical * * disks, and floppy disks. Copies of the top programs will be sold 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 |* *\___________________________________________________________________________/* *******************************************************************************
