Title [SAL sample entry page] This is a template file of SAL's entry page. It is designed to explain the meaning of each item in the software page. This first box after the title bar contains two or three components: Title --- the title of the software, one line Description Text --- brief introduction/abstract of the software. It should cover most of the key words associated with the software, since lots of SAL users take advantage of the search engine for locating software. The description here should be less than one page and half of a page is ideal. Logo/Icon Image (optional) --- just like the SAL logo at the left-top corner of the description. If you want to display a logo/icon, please send the image through a e-mail attachment to us, since we like to keep a copy of the image in SAL. Alternatively, we offer ftp uploading when you request it. SAL certainly welcomes you to contact us when change of software information is needed. SAL's team also contacts software authors regularly for any updates needed. Note: if you would like to send us information about modifying your software page, you can either send me the changed information through email, or you can send me the modified html file after downloading the page from the web browser. But please don't download this template page and modify it for a new entry submission.
