Updating user contributions to MCL 3.0

[hsayed@digitool.com (Hazem Sayed)]

I am sure everyone would like to see the 100MB+ of user contributed MCL
code updated for inclusion in the MCL 3.0 CD.  So here is an
offer/incentive to all those who have made contributions to the MCL ftp
site and the MCL CD.

Digitool will grant you beta stage use of MCL 3.0, if you commit to
updating and re-posting your MCL-related contributions on ftp.digitool.com
within two weeks of the distribution of MCL 3.0 beta (sometime in April,
1995).  In addition we ask that you follow some helpful contribution
guidelines that will make it easier for users of the MCL CD to benefit from
your work.

In some cases the work may entail updating the associated README file to
reflect a new address or contact information.  In others it may be an
opportunity to upload a more recent version of your project, but in all
cases, it is an opportunity to test your contributions with MCL 3.0 and to
help us iron out all the bugs before final release.

Digitool would certainly appreciate your participating in this effort, as I
am sure so would the MCL community.

If you have a contribution on the MCL ftp site and you would like to take
us up on our beta seeding offer, please sign a hard copy of the Beta
Seeding Agreement below and fax it to Digitool at +1 617 576-7680.
Digitool reserves the right to determine the validity of a beta seeding
request.

Thank you for your continued support of MCL and for working with us in
making MCL 3.0 an even greater product.
