~TL Submission Procedure for the ASP CD-ROM ~BT 95

@EWelcome to DESCRIBE, the submission processing utility for the ASP CD-ROM!

Here's the quick and easy way to get your program ready for the ASP CD:

  @E1)@E arrange your program files just as you want them to be installed
     on the user's system

  @E2)@E have DESCRIBE and its companion files installed somewhere on
     your path (but not in the directory with your programs)

  @E3)@E run DESCRIBE and complete all the appropriate fields (including
     [F5] BBS Description, [F6] CD Description, and [F7] Author
     Information.

  @E4)@E use [F2] to write xxxx.DOZ

  @E5)@E ZIP all the files using PKZip.

     IMPORTANT! - ZIP files must *not* exceed 1,420,000 bytes.  If
     your program's files exceed this limitation, make multiple ZIPs
     with individual files in each ZIP, and give the ZIP files
     similar (but not identical!) names.  ie. MYPROG1.ZIP,
     MYPROG2.ZIP, MYPROG3.ZIP   You need supply only one DOZ file for
     the program, and it should specify the first ZIP file in the
     series.  (This makes it possible for vendors to make master
     disk sets.)

     @EDO NOT USE the PKZip disk spanning feature to submit your
     @Eprograms!

     If you have individual files that, when ZIPped, produce ZIP
     files larger than the 1,420,000 byte limit, contact us for tools
     and instructions.

  @E6)@E copy your ZIP(s) and the .DOZ file to 3 1/2" floppy(s) DO NOT
     put the DOZ file in your ZIP. (DOZ stands for: Data Out of ZIP.)

  @E7)@E Put as many programs on the submission disks as you wish,
     including separate ZIP/DOZ file pairs for each program.

  @E8)@E mail your submission to:

       ASP CD-ROM
