Hi!
Thanks for taking the time to request more information on taking
part in the Pre-Alpha testing program for the new MUSIC compiler. Right
now, we are in the process of putting together our Pre-alpha test team,
which is a group of programmers, much like yourself, who have shown an
interest in the concepts of the compiler, and who have agreed to assist
us in the early stages of our compiler's development, by sharing thier
input and feedback on it's preformance. It is our believe that for a
programming tool to be most effective, those using it them most, mainly
the programmers, should be involved in shaping it's design, as opposed
to an in-house programming team using thier interpretation of what you
want.
We are using a closed testing policy to help ensure that we get the
best of feedback possible, while including only those who are truely
interested in functioning as part of the team. If you are willing and
interested enough to request more information, as you have done, and to
fill in and return the application form below, that is a pretty good
indication to us that you are seriously interested in assisting us.
Before you fill out and return the below form, their are some very
basic requirements that we are requesting that all participants meet. They
include :
> Have a general grasp of programming in general
> be willing to work with the software, and submit at least one
evaluation for each version or version update of the software
that you download with 30 days of downloading it.
> agree to the usage terms and license agreement (below)
> have at least a 286 or compatible computer running DOS/Windows 3.x/
or Windows 95
Finally, please read the below usage license and agreement. You will
have to forgive the lack of legal terminology and length, this is only
a summary. If their are any lawyers out their, a full copy is available
on request...
