The subject of software publishing by entrepreneurs has generated
substantial interest on Usenet, so I am proposing the establishment
of a mailing list for
Software Publisher Entrepreneurs
I propose that the purpose of this mailing list be:
* To disseminate knowledge about the business of software publishing
and self-publishing
* To connect authors and publishers
* To discuss legal issues
* Sources of publishing materials, supplies, and services
If you have any other objectives you think are important, let me add
them.
Send your mailing list postings to:
softpub@toolz.UUCP
Send your mailing list name add/change/deletes to:
softpub-request@toolz.UUCP
E-mail to softpub@toolz will immediately be reflected back out to
everyone on the mailing list. E-mail to softpub-request@toolz will
be read only by the mailing list administrator (me). All postings
will be archived, and anyone on the list can order copies of previous
postings.
If your e-mail to toolz bounces, you can call the Software Toolz 800
V-mail number listed below (US and CANADA), or write using postal
mail, or try a different path. I occasionally have trouble with
inbound e-mail, but outbound e-mail works reliably. If necessary, we
will fiddle with your e-mail address until it works. If mail from
toolz to you bounces back to me, there is not much I can do about that
except experiment with different addresses. I can't afford to call
anyone on the mailing list.

In a similar vein, I am a new person on this net news thing, but I would really like to see something along the lines of a new board: ALT.MSDOS.PROGRAMMER.INDEPENDENT COMP.OS.MSDOS.PROGRAMMER.SHAREWARE or something. I am very interested in shareware, but I can't seem to find reliable information on how much money can be involved, etc. etc. I am writing in C a windowing/mouse library with drop shadows, etc, scroll bars, the works, and it is beginning to look real nice. It won't be completed for a couple of more months because I still want to integrate virtual screens, edit fields, et. al. and make it maybe event driven.
