You need:

• An original idea for a stamp collecting related computer program. This may be a STAMPCATalog Plus enhancement, an added or improved function or just about anything else of use to a stamp collector.
  
• Experience in developing software projects is desirable.
  
• The legal right to distribute software you produce.  You may use any computer language but an Xbase or FoxPro database language is the easiest to integrate with STAMPCATalog Plus.
  
• Authorization to qualify your program as a STAMPCATalog Plus Plug-In. This is granted at successful completion of integration testing.
  
• To email me for more information or discuss your ideas.
  

You get:

• A Plug-In Development Kit (PIDK) to assist you in developing interfaces with
  the STAMPCATalog Plus architecture and database file formats.
  
• Fruits of your labor. Your end product program may be shareware, freeware or donationware. The choice is yours.
  
• Your product located on your web site will be linked from mine with a description and other pertinent information.
  

Your requirements:

• Application must function in Windows95/98 and up environment.
  
• Application must work from the STAMPCATalog Plus "Plug-Ins" menu option and should work as a stand-alone program.
  
• Application must provide on-screen help.
  
• Authorization to release your application software as a STAMPCATalog Plus Plug-In.
  
• Certify compatibility and usefulness of your program.
  
• Provide one working copy together with documentation to me for testing and
  archiving.
  
• Agree to provide user support for your application.
  

Examples (some of these are available, some in development):

• Register, an early registration utility (avoids waiting until evaluation time has expired).
  
• P2SXfer, a catalog number transfer and deletion utility (switches primary and secondary catalog numbers and catalog names as well as offering complete deletion of either).
  
• DBCheck, a utility mainly for stamp list developers (checks for common entry mistakes like duplicate catalog numbers).
  
• Datapath, a utility that enables you to change the default data subdirectory so you can keep your collections remote from the program (e.g., a Zip or Jaz disk or another hard disk).
  
• HTMLPort, an exporter that provides HTML coded databases (so users can upload want and trade lists to their web pages).
  
• MkLink and Viewer, generate a link to an external picture viewer (so you can incorporate any picture file format into the program by OLE transfer).
  
• MoveBMPs, a simple way to enter stamp pictures in batch or remove those installed.
  
• Updater, a stamp database expansion update utility (incorporate extensions to existing stamp database lists).
  
• Import Wizard, a generic database converter (converts ASCII lists to STAMPCATalog Plus Import format).
