WHAT ABOUT OTHER DEMOS
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check out the WANT.LIST for demos to look for and upload. Hopefully
|
||
|
|
someone out there is local to THE MUSIC CHANNEL BBS or THE MUSIC CONNECTION
|
||
|
|
and can up some of those demos here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please try not to upload stuff the site already has unless it is a newer
|
||
|
|
version that WORKS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UPLOAD new demos to the /pub/incoming/demos DIRECTORY.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
|
||
|
|
=====================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) I am willing to change my RATING system of demos if people feel the current
|
||
|
|
system could be better. See the ABOUT.DEMOS file for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) If anyone feels I should be using the old shareware version of .ZIP (V 1.1
|
||
|
|
I believe) instead of .LZH then mail me a message. Thus far we have:
|
||
|
|
TWO for .ZIP and ONE for .LZH. The LHA compression program saves more space
|
||
|
|
and is slightly slower. However, people tell me BBS's like .ZIP more--go
|
||
|
|
figure.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3) Anyone who would like to join/create a demo group but do not know where
|
||
|
|
to go let me know and I will attempt to put you in contact with others
|
||
|
|
wishing to do the same.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4) Is there any chance of someone out there attempting to get a DEMO
|
||
|
|
NEWSGROUP on the NEWSREADER? How about trying? They have an amiga demo
|
||
|
|
group, what about an IBM/PC demo group on the newsreader. So, if anyone
|
||
|
|
knows the process of getting a NEW group perhaps you can help us with this.
|
||
|

|

|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
ANSI TACK-ONS
|
||
|
|
=============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We now have THREE ANSI files which I can choose between to tack onto the demos
|
||
|
|
received here. If you can draw, are an artist, or just want to do an ANSI
|
||
|
|
file then DO IT. Grab tdraw430 or newer and make a .COM file. If you have
|
||
|
|
something better then by all means USE it. Send the completed file to me
|
||
|
|
or upload it to the incoming/demos directory. Anyone who makes an ANSI file
|
||
|
|
WILL get it tacked onto a demo. Unless of course it is REALLY bad.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All that is necessary to be in the file is the SITE address >ftp.uwp.edu<.
|
||
|
|
Draw ANYTHING--especially any cartoon, city, or odd art. Don't worry about
|
||
|
|
having to list demo groups, my E-mail address, or demo site #1.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If anyone has a problem with me including these things with the demos
|
||
|
|
PLEASE speak-out! I shall continue packing these things in with the demos
|
||
|
|
otherwise. So far only one person has spoken against me including these
|
||
|
|
ANSI files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
MIRROR SITE UPDATE
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OKAY, for you people around the AFRICA area check out the MIRROR at
|
||
|
|
oliver.sun.ac.za under the /pub/msdos/demos directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So far wuarchive.wustl.edu and ftp.ulowell.edu are out of the picture. A
|
||
|
|
site in Finland expressed interest in mirroring this site--nic.funet.fi.
|
||
|
|
That is all there is to say for now.
