NoSD-Submitter
==============
Program for submitting NoSD entries, Version 1.0:
NoSD (the NEXTSTEP and OpenStep Software Database) was initiated to
overcome the deficit on reliable information about NEXTSTEP Software.
NeXT itself does only supply information about commercial products,
and their written broschures are rather outdated. On the other hand,
new software is entering the market every day, some commercial, some
public domain. NoSD is aimed at a total survey of "soft" products for
NEXTSTEP which are, will be, or have been available for NEXTSTEP. So,
if you have one of the following (or other) kind of software you would
like to inform a broader audience about, NoSD is the place to go:
-programs
-mission critical projects which might find broader interest
-patches to existing products
-system extensions
-fonts
-drivers
-tools
-etc
New entries to NoSD can easily be submitted by using
"The_NoSD_Submitter.app" or our WWW server available on
http://peanuts.leo.org/nosd/
Of course, submissions and usage of the NoSD are free of charge!! This
is a project run by fanatics!
NoSD will be available on floppy, by WWW (adress as above), in
printed form, and via ftp.
