The C User's Group
------------------
The C Users' Group (CUG) facilitates the exchange of code and
information among C programmers. Among other services, the group maintains
this library of over 360 volumes of public domain C and C++ source code.
-------------------------
The C Users Journal (CUJ)
-------------------------
The C Users Journal is the successor to the C Users' Group Newsletter and
The C Journal. Subscribers are automatically enrolled as members of The
C Users'Group. The C Users Journal and The C Users' Group are services
of R&D Publications, Inc., Lawrence, Ks.
----------------------------
CUJ Subscription Information
----------------------------
Annual subscriptions to CUJ (12 issues) are: $29.95 US, $54 Canada and
Mexico, and $65 overseas (airmail).
Two-year subscriptions are: $56 US, $89 Canada/Mexico, $123 overseas.
Three-year subscriptions are: $79 US, $122 Canada/Mexico, $175 overseas.
Payments must be in US dollars. Make checks payable to: The C Users Journal.
We will gladly accept MasterCard or Visa phone orders at
voice: (913) 841-1631
FAX: (913) 841-2624
We do not currently accept any other credit or charge cards.

Writing to Us
-------------
Your editorial feedback is always welcome. Write to us at:
The C Users Journal (if including code, please put
1601 W. 23rd St. Suite 200 both the code and text of your letter
Lawrence, KS. 66046 on a floppy disk, any size or
(913) 841-1631 density; DOS, tar or cpio format)
or, e-mail us at:
[email protected] ("...!uunet!rdpub!cujed")
-------------------------------------
What Is The C Users' Group Code Like?
-------------------------------------
Unlike machine-centered user groups, CUG has collected C source code
from a wide variety of environments. The code has been developed on
machines as tiny as the Radio Shack Color Computer or as large as
a Cray II. As a consequence the quality, dialect and portability of
the code varies greatly. Unless you intend to use a program written
for a PC clone on a PC clone you should expect to make at least minor
modifications to the code.
For the most part, code developed on MS-DOS will port easily to UNIX
and vice-versa. The exception would be programs that directly manipulate
hardware devices (such as the video display) or that use large UNIX
packages (such as curses).
---------
Copyright
---------
The copyright status varies among the types of volume. Each volume
includes information identitying its copyright status. The possible types are:
public -- released to the public domain with no restrictions.
share1 -- shareware, source code included.
share2 -- shareware, source code not included but available from the
author for a small registration fee.
restricted -- copyright reserved or use restricted, but no registration
fee requested.
mixed -- copyright status varies from file to file through the volume.
-----------------
Submission Policy
-----------------
CUG is interested in ALL user supported C and C++ source code.
Programs need not be new and unique, nor massive, to be useful to
other members. Many times even minor modifications of existing library
programs are important to other members, especially if the
modifications improve the portability of the code.
CUG accepts submissions only from the author or copyright holder.
All submissions must be accompanied by the author's release form provided
on most CUG volumes.
In part the author's release is designed to protect the interests
of members who desire to restrict for-profit distribution of their
product. For tax purposes CUG is a service of R & D Publications,
Inc., a for-profit Kansas corporation. We had originally intended
to organize as a non-profit corporation but found it was an unbelievable
hassle. We hope this release will allow authors to clearly authorize
distribution by CUG while at the same time protecting their residual
rights.
We make every effort to respect the intentions of the submitting author
when distributing software.
--------------------------
Guidelines For Submissions
--------------------------
If you (or perhaps several authors) have placed restrictions
on your material, include ALL the restrictions prominently on the
outside of the disk.
Write the disk format on the outside of the disk!!!
If you submit text files (documentation):
DO NOT send them in some word-processor format.
Please DO send all text files on a disk. We can read almost all MS-DOS
and UNIX tar/cpio formats.
Include a one or two paragraph summary of the disk contents on the
disk, along with a longer (two to ten pages) article which is detailed
enough that it will help members decide whether the submission is
of use to them.
Finally, unless you are really serious about policing the users of
your software, reconsider restricting it. We will certainly respect
your wishes, but you should be warned that you will be very hard-pressed
to enforce copyright privileges once a product has been distributed
free to any class of users. Our fear is that most of the restrictions
we are so carefully repeating are legally unenforceable and thus are
accomplishing little except to consume group time.
