Subj: REPLY TO MSG #649 (NEW PROGRAMS)

Okay... how we distribute programs is settled, i.e., all partipants will
receive eachother's programs for free, and become judges.  All others will pay
a small fee to receive the programs.  Okay... done!
 
Now, how do we attract programmers to our contest?  Side issues are prizes that
people will want to compete for, and how many, and of course, notoriety.  I'm
open to ideas.
 
I jotted down an idea to have the magazines start announcing the contest.  This
takes lead time but may be well worth the effort.  Besides, good programming
takes time, too.  The two (magazine lead time and programming development time)
will work well together.  We could bill this as the great program contest of
1992!!  -Rick-
