comp.archives.msdos.announce (moderated)
|
||
|
|
----------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This moderated newsgroup is for the upload announcements and
|
||
|
|
related information from MS-DOS archive sites (also called FTP
|
||
|
|
sites) with Public Domain, Freeware and Shareware material. The
|
||
|
|
subjects include the upload announcements via the MS-DOS FTP site
|
||
|
|
moderators, the MS-DOS sites' periodical summaries, potential policy
|
||
|
|
statements and downtime warnings, and the MS-DOS FTP site
|
||
|
|
moderators' reports about the connectivity problems with their
|
||
|
|
archive sites. Unix announcements conform only if they directly
|
||
|
|
relate to transferring or handling the MS-DOS material from the
|
||
|
|
MS-DOS FTP sites.
|
||

Principal Moderator: Keith Petersen (w8sdz@Simtel.Net)

Further clarification:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The purpose of news:comp.archives.msdos.announce is to be a ONE-WAY
|
||
|
|
channel for MS-DOS upload announcements which the moderators handle,
|
||
|
|
and other one-way, occasional information relating to MS-DOS archive
|
||
|
|
sites. The moderators will therefore not be handling users'
|
||
|
|
discussion material, questions, and replies. The unmoderated
|
||
|
|
news:comp.archives.msdos.d newsgroup (see below) will cover that
|
||
|
|
aspect.

"This unmoderated newsgroup is the discussion subgroup of the
|
||
|
|
moderated comp.archives.msdos.announce newsgroup. The newsgroup
|
||
|
|
covers users' reports, questions and discussions about the Public
|
||
|
|
Domain and shareware programs at the MS-DOS archive sites (also
|
||
|
|
called FTP sites), and the users' questions about the MS-DOS FTP
|
||
|
|
sites such as the users' connectivity problem reports. The group is
|
||
|
|
also for posting requests/replies concerning where to find such
|
||
|
|
programs as are stored at the MS-DOS FTP sites. However, users are
|
||
|
|
expected to refer to the FTP site file indexes before posting such
|
||
|
|
requests. The newsgroup does not cover any discussions of fully
|
||
|
|
commercial programs or programs for other operating systems like
|
||
|
|
OS/2. (These programs have Usenet newsgroups of their own)."
