Re: A.P.P.L.E. Announces Apple II Programming Contest

Michael,

I will look into the problem with the page encoding.  I guess there is
a Lanaguage Span in there somewhere that I dont know about.

As for the collaboration, we are giving individual prizes which is why
it is an indivudal contest.  Who knows, maybe the next go around, we
will do a team competition.  Prizes would have to be thought out for
that one.

Cheers
