                                 WHAT IS IT?
                                 -----------

The Certified Nexus Compatible program is a way for the Nexus Development
Team to ensure that quality third party programs are being developed for
Nexus Bulletin Board System.  It is also a way for Sysops running Nexus to
feel safe about using the third party utilities that are certified.


                     HOW DO I GET MY UTILITIES CERTIFIED?
                     ------------------------------------

It is quite simple, actually.  You send a fully completed release version, or
a final beta version that will not be undergoing any feature enhancements, to
the Nexus Development Team and we will test the package for approximately one
to two weeks.  We will put the package under normal usage conditions to see if
it is well-behaved, and if it performs the task it was designed for.  If all
our tests are passed positively, you will be sent a certification number, and
a copy of the ASCII logo for inclusion in documentation or on product info
screens.  GIF versions of the logo will be made available on request.


                   DOES THIS GUARANTEE ANYTHING TO THE SYSOP?
                   ------------------------------------------

This program does NOT guarantee anything to the Sysop.  However, it does give
them some piece of mind knowing that the author of the BBS software itself has
tested this particular utility and didn't come across anything majorly wrong
with it.  This program is basically to tell Sysops that this HAS been tested
by us, and it did not wipe our system out. ;-)


              DO I NEED TO SEND ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES THE SOFTWARE?
              -----------------------------------------------------

Yes.  When sending in a software package for certification, please fill out
the following form and send it along with the package:
