A guide for prospective software writers – Introduction
8.1
The following is intended to help software writers get their programs accepted, and
published quickly by Continental Software. In no way does compliance with the
following guarantee publication and should be considered only as a guide.
Documentation
8.2
All programs should be accompanied by full instructions, preferably typed. Games
should come with details of the keys to be used, the object of the game, features of
different levels of play, the score system and any other details which may be of
concern to us or our customers.
Business software should include details of the relevant standards to which it
conforms, eg type of accounting procedure, Country in which it is intended for use and
possible applications, eg small business, chemists etc.
Program Standards
8.3
All programs must be crash proof, ie be able to cope with all possible combinations of
input and user errors. Where the user does make an error the program should take
some suitable course of action. In a games program this might be to ignore the
erroneous input, in a business program this may mean displaying an error message
and an invitation to re-enter the input.
