First, a little clarification.  There are two groups of developers
supported by CATS (Commodore-Amiga Technical Support),
Certified developers and Commercial developers.

Certified Developers get a subscription to AmigaMail, discounts on hardware,
a $20 coupon towards the documentation CATS sells, etc.  The cost is $50 per
year with a $25 one-time registration fee.

Commercial developers get everything Certifieds get, plus: phone support,
prerelease copies of new system software (for development purposes only),
eligibility for prerelease product testing, access to closed commercial
conferences on BIX, etc.  The cost is $450 per year with a $50 one-time
registration fee.

Anyone may become a Certified developer, but applicants for Commercial status
undergo a review process to be certain that CATS can support their needs
and make the extra fee worthwhile.

Call (215) 431-9180 and ask to receive an application to become a developer.

Bravo!  I'm glad to hear of another multi-tasking game.
In order to include any of the Workbench files on the disk you sell, you
must obtain a Workbench license from CATS.  The cost is $100 per year.
Call the above number and ask to receive a Workbench license package.
