CPCC source-code deposit rules this tool applies: (1) Submit the source code as 60 A4 pages; if the code is longer, file the first 30 pages + last 30 pages and leave out the middle. (2) Each page normally carries at least 50 lines of code. (3) Every page header shows the software name and version, with the page number on the right. (4) Separately, a user manual / design document (~60 pages) is deposited alongside. This is a formatting aid; confirm the current CPCC checklist before filing.
