Software Authors & Producers Wanted!!!

June 10, 1995 -- Non-profit organization called Children's Animated
Television (CAT) is announcing a new project. CAT produces educational
videotapes for children and teenagers on social issues. As a public
service, CAT introduced "Dr Furball's BBS" (bulletin board service) in
1994. This BBS is uncommon because it was developed for families,
educators and philanthropists. It contains thousands of files:
educational/general software, aides for teachers/parents, health and
safety issues, etc. Another singular quality is the "Child Safety
Conference" for parents, moderated by a law enforcement professional that
addresses concerns such as preventing child kidnapping or tips on bicycle
safety. Missing people GIF's are also available. Additionally, there is a
HIV/AIDS and general medical conference moderated by a physician.

The latest innovation of the BBS is the "Dr Furball's Favorite Files
CD-ROM". For any BBS novices out there, a CD-ROM is an optical software
disk for computer files or programs. With the help of software authors
from around the world, this CD-ROM will have the best of
educational/general software. DOS, Windows and Macintosh formats will be
available for Public Domain software (sometimes called Freeware) and
Shareware ("Try before you buy" software).

Demos of commercial software will also be on the disk. The CD-ROM will be a
_true_ "BBS ready" CD-ROM, with FILE_ID.DIZ for every file, as well as an
"ALLFILES" list suitable for direct import to Wildcat BBS's. For a nominal
donation to CAT, an authors' program can be featured on the disk, as well
as on-line in Dr Furball's BBS. Featured programs will be reviewed by
parents, educators and children (if appropriate for age level). Featured
programs will have their own separate file directory making them easy for
users to find. There will also be a "Featured Software Conference" with
on-line reviews.

Educational materials for both children and adults will be included. The
CD-ROM will be sold to help raise funds for CAT's future video projects
and to expand Dr Furball's BBS. There will be 2 different price levels for
the CD-ROM: one for individuals/families and the other for BBS's, schools
and institutions. Types of software to be included:
