[ I just threw this together... ]

Politics:
	1. Must be Amiga code (samples or bitmaps alone isn't good enough).
	2. No demos.
	3. No commercial software (shareware that demands money is commercial).
	   (Shareware that asks for money but doesn't require it is ok).
	4. Must be freely distributable (it can be copyrighted as long
	   as permission is given to distribute *and* redistribute).

Format:
	I can decode most anything, although the easiest for me are
	split uuencoded zoo or lharc files.

Helpful:
	1. Include a package name *and* a version number (ie, Clicker 2.2).
	2. Include a brief description of what it is/does.
	   (Saying ``Version 2.2 of Clicker'' doesn't tell me much).
	3. Separate the binaries submission from the sources submission.
	4. Keep each part less than 100k.

Where:
	1. Mail submissions to <amiga@cs.odu.edu>.
	2. Post submissions to comp.binaries.amiga.
