talk to A2-Central, publishers of 8/16-central, about having them publish heatseeker in their monthly disk-based magazine. they might require source to it though (i won't get into your argument about why you won't release source, i covered that in email). however, 8/16 is kinda desperate for 8-bit stuff and you probably could make some deal with them about not releasing your source. of course you'd have to include docs and maybe you could just say how you did what in heatseeker (with pseudo-code). incidentally, for any of you 8-bit programmers out there, chances are *very* good that if you make a program for the IIe 8/16-central will publish it. as i said, they're kinda desperate for 8-bit stuff. they also pay well. they only buy the rights to publish your program in their magazine. they ask that you wait 3/4 months since the date of publication that you release your program either shareware/pdware to the world (so they can milk your program for all it's worth for 3/4 months). if you ask me, it's a real good way to make money and nice people to make it with. albert

I've been considering this, but I don't know. The program isn't anywhere near completion, and putting it into the mag seems lime the kind of idea you'd do when there's no other options (selling it yourself, professional publishers, etc.). Just for kicks, though, what's their address / email address? I'll get in touch and see what they have to offer.. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* + Jeffrey S.
