              IMPORTANT FOR DEVELOPERS & PUBLISHERS
              *************************************

   Our company was fortunate enough to be listed in last year's PUBLISH!
Buyer's Guide.  Well, that's good for us, but not so good for the Amiga in
general.  Publish! is another of the aforementioned bastions of IBM and
Mac products and the Amiga listings in the previous guide were definitely
in the minority.  So, to help out the rest of Amiga developers here's some 
info we got in the mail regarding the upcoming guide that we'd like to share
with the rest of you (yes, including our competitors.  Boy, you never get
anywhere bein' so nice to people   :)   ).
   Here's the scoop:
 
The categories are:
     Page makeup & Word Processing (including forms creation, outliners)
     Type (including fonts, font editors, font utilities)    
     Paint & Draw
     Presentations & Multimedia
     Utilities (templates, laser printing, file conversions, screen capture)
     Scanners and image editing
     Monitors
     Printers & Imagesetters
     Books
     Training (software, audio, video)
     Systems & Accessories (desktop publishing, mice, special papers, etc.)

Under computer type there are only three boxes:
     [] Macintosh   [] IBM PC's & compatibles    [] Unix-based workstations
So, when you get your forms, be sure to =write in= AMIGA.
 
The listing is free and MUST BE RECEIVED BY APRIL 2/90 (call 'em and get
them to fax you a copy of the forms).  The directory is being published in
the October issue of Publish!  Last year's buyer's guide was their most-read
issue.

CONTACT:
     Susan Gubernat, Editor in Chief
or   DDavid Hopkins          (415)  978-3376     FAX:  (415) 442-0169
  The letter was from S. Gubernat, and I guess David Hopkins is in charge
of answering questions and coordinating the project.  Completed forms should
be sent to:        Publish 1990 Buyer's Guide
                   Publish Magazine
                   501 Second Street
                   San Francisco,   CA  94107
   Spread the word (quickly) to your small developers in your users' groups,
as well.  For those small companies without advertising budgets, buyer's
guides are one of the few avenues in which they can get out the word about
their products.
 
   The letter mentions only PC, Macintosh and workstations.  They basically
ignored the Amiga products because not many Amiga developers knew about
last year's guide.  I figure if I can let people know so they can take 
advantage of the opportunity, there will be a stronger showing in this
issue.
