^1 Firstly  I'd like to congratulate Len and Anne for doing such a good
^1job  with  TOTALLY  AMOS.   I look forward to receiving it and always
^1enjoy  reading  it.   I  feel that it provides a valuable service for
^1budding  AMOS  programmers, and also a valuable forum for the experts
^1among you.

^6 AMOS  has  certainly  come  a  long  way  since its launch, and it's
^6gratifying  to  see so many support groups for one product.  The AMOS
^6PD  Library  alone  has grown from 8 discs to over 360, and that does
^6not  take into account all the extremely good programs in the DEJA VU
^6Licensed Software collection.

^1 Lots of support for AMOS comes from various columns in magazines and
^1also on the CIX AMOS conference.

^1 Unfortunately,  one  of my favourite columnists died in a motorcycle
^1accident in January 1992 aged just 23.  His name was Kevin Hall.

^1 Kevin  wrote the AMOS columns in JAM and the new AMIGAWARE magazine,
^1he  also  chaired  the  AMOS  conference  on  CIX.   He was a staunch
^1supporter  of  AMOS and was very well liked and respected by the AMOS
^1community.   He  also contributed a couple of programs to the library
^1and  was  instrumental  in helping to promote the DEJA VU Licenseware
^1concept.   I'd like to thank Len for dedicating this issue of TOTALLY
^1AMOS to Kevin.  Let's hope his name lives on for a long time!

^5                      LICENSED SOFTWARE SCHEME

^1 As  I receive many enquiries concerning the Licensed Software Scheme
^1I  have  designed  this  information  sheet.  If you require any more
^1information  please  telephone  the  above number during office hours
^1i.e.  Monday to Friday 10 a.m.  to 6 p.m.  and Saturday 10 a.m.  to 2
^1p.m.  Please note that we are closed on Sundays.

^2Q.  How do I get a program into Licenseware?

^1A.    All   programs  we  receive  are  automatically  evaluated  for
^1Licenseware even if the programmer has offered the program for public
^1domain.   Very  few  programs  are  of  a  high enough standard to be
^1accepted.

^2Q.  How does the scheme work?

^1A.   When  a  program  is accepted into Licenseware the programmer is
^1offered  an agreement which is signed by both parties.  The agreement
^1goes into much more detail than this Information Sheet.  Briefly, the
^1programmer  will receive a royalty payment for every copy sold either
^1by  DEJA VU Software or any of its authorised distributors.  Payments
^1are  made  quarterly accompanied by a detailed breakdown of all sales
^1made by DEJA VU and its distributors.

^2Q.  How much will I get?

^1A.   The  royalty  payments  vary  from  £30-  to  £500+ per quarter,
^1although  the  latter  figure  is  rare.   It  depends on the type of
^1program  and  its appeal and also if the program has been reviewed in
^1the glossy magazines.  All programs are sent in for review to several
^1magazines but we can't dictate what will or won't be reviewed.

^2Q.  What are the most popular programs?

^1A.   Software for children, either with educational content or simple
^1games.   Games  for  everyone,  particularly  if they are original in
^1concept.   Unusual  utilities  like X-Stitch.  Programs that are easy
^1enough  for  the  new  AMIGA  owner  to use.  Programs that help AMOS
^1programmers e.g.  CText and Music Engine.

^2Q.  What sort of programs are not wanted?

^1A.   We  have  plenty of databases so are unlikely to accept any more
^1unless  they have unusual features.  Utilities that would only appeal
^1to 0.01% of AMIGA users just wouldn't sell enough copies and would be
^1better  in  PD  as Shareware.  Programs without full documentation on
^1the  disc  (although  this can be added later).  Programs that run to
^1two  discs  are  not very popular.  Programs that will not run on the
^1AMIGA A500 Plus or require more than 1Mb of memory.  Demos.  Programs
^1containing music or graphics whose copyright belongs to someone else.
^1Programs that have been submitted elsewhere for publication.
