Shipping to all those who have preordered disks should be complete by Monday (7-Sep-92). Note that you can get a copy of the catalog (2 disks) of the complete library contents by sending $3 for disks, postage, and mailer to: Fred Fish Catalog Disk Requests 1835 East Belmont Drive Tempe, Arizona 85284 USA Thanks to all who submitted new and interesting material. If you submitted something in the past and it has not yet appeared in the library, please feel free to resubmit it, particularly if it was several months ago. I sometimes hesitate to include material submitted more than about six months ago because of some vague feeling that as soon as I include version 1.01 submitted many months ago, I'll see version 5.23 posted on usenet. For those wishing to submit material for possible inclusion in the library, here are a few simple guidelines that will make my job of organizing the material MUCH easier and GREATLY increase your chances of having the material accepted for inclusion: 1. Don't submit bootable disks or disks with any other sort of proprietary material included, since I then have to go examine each file to decide if it is distributable or not, and if not, what effect removing it might have. Unless the material is particularly interesting, I frequently just toss such disks into the recycling bin. 2. Organize the distribution in a manner similar to my disks. I.E, place all files related to a particular submission under a single directory on the disk. If there is more than one submission per disk, it's ok to to place each submission in it's own directory. 3. Try to write a simple entry for my "Contents" listing that summarizes your submission. It should be about 3-10 lines, and include the current version number, the version and disk number of the most recent version (if any) that was last included in the library, whether or not source is included, and an "Author" list. 4. Ensure that your submission will run correctly from it's subdirectory and if necessary, supply a script runnable from workbench (via :c/xicon) that makes all necessary assigns, copies fonts and libraries, etc. 5. Send your submission in a sturdy envelope with sufficient padding.
