Catalogue pro forma

This pro forma has been prepared to make it easy for you to present information about an application written with Turbo Vision C++, whether you were the sole author, a project leader, an interested third party, or the like.

The sort of information we are looking for is outlined below but the file should be no bigger than 4K:

Name of application

What you call your program.

Purpose of the application

This is a short description of what your programme does, and the needs it fulfills for users. This is a good place to state briefly what makes it distinctive, e.g. a word processor that sounds like your grade teacher when you mis-spell a word.

Distribution category

Is your application freeware, shareware, in-house or commercial distribution. Any copyright information may be mentioned here.

Availability

Specify the distribution filename if the application is freeware or shareware. State whether the source code or a library is available for your programme.

Description of application

Describe what your program actually does, from a user's perspective.

Developmental problems and response

Disclose any problems you encountered in building your programme, and what workarounds you used to resolve them. Did you encounter any bugs or incompatibilities with 3rd party libraries or did you have to modify the source code, etc? A few thoughtful comments here may solve a problem someone will encounter with their use of TV.

Contact

Your name and, if you wish, the address where you may be contacted for further information about the programme.

The time spent in presenting something about your programme will allow others to learn from your experience and you also get the benefit of wider exposure for your product.
