GENERAL STUFF
|
||
|
|
*************
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some asshole created a "zeraw" directory within the root /incoming
|
||
|
|
directory on ftp.eng.ufl.edu. For those who do not know "zeraw" is
|
||
|
|
WAREZ spelled backwords. This is NOT a good sign--read demonews.022 if
|
||
|
|
you want to know what I mean. The sys admin made ALL directories
|
||
|
|
unwriteable but I changed back the demos/incoming to read/write. Could
|
||
|
|
this mean the collapse of the demo site? Let's hope not but I think
|
||
|
|
it is only fair to warn you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone know when "Composers contest" results will be released?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HAVING problems uploading? Have you tried ftp.eng.ufl.edu instead of
|
||
|
|
wasp.eng.ufl.edu or eng.ufl.edu? I believe the "WASP" ftp site has
|
||
|
|
moved to "HORNET." Same location just a different machine. The
|
||
|
|
"ftp.eng.ufl.edu" should automatically route you to this new address.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am indefinitly disabling the TOP25DL feature. Those of you who
|
||
|
|
subscribed to it will remain on the list but shall not receive E-mail
|
||
|
|
like in the previous weeks.

((GENERAL INFORMATION))
|
||
|
|
========================================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Hi gang! This be Snowman here, and I was really able to put
|
||
|
|
some time into my article this week. Like the new borders? :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Several things of interest this week:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Music Contest ][ News
|
||
|
|
There are 3 files you should all have now.
|
||
|
|
/music/MC2/mc2rules.zip - the rules to the competition
|
||
|
|
/music/MC2/mc2demo.zip - the demo made to promote MC][
|
||
|
|
/music/MC2/mc2upd1.zip - the update for the first month
|
||
|
|
If you don't have them yet, GET THEM!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to troubles with my mailer, I was having trouble getting mass
|
||
|
|
mails out, but I think this is now fixed. I still can not upload
|
||
|
|
anything, and it took several hours of work just to be able to
|
||
|
|
get a sucessful download going. I still can not upload, and that
|
||
|
|
is really frustrating. Grr...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that things are starting to work again, the contest will be
|
||
|
|
coordinated better. Remember, just write me if you want to be
|
||
|
|
added to the mailing list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. 3 cool new S3Ms
|
||
|
|
There are 3 new S3Ms that I heard this week which are worth
|
||
|
|
noting.
|
||
|
|
a. Realization.S3M by Necros/Psychic Monks
|
||
|
|
a very different type of music, and I like it
|
||
|
|
/music/anecros/realize.s3m
|
||
|
|
b. Chariots of Fire.S3M by HMW (Kerry Ho)
|
||
|
|
a beautiful translation by the tune from Vangelis
|
||
|
|
/music/ms3m/chariot.s3m
|
||
|
|
I wrote him a letter, but he didn't respond. :(
|
||
|
|
c. Mysticism.S3M by Necors/Psychic Monks
|
||
|
|
a standard kind of tune with unstandard chords and good!
|
||
|
|
/music/ms3m/mystic.s3m
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Deleting Files
|
||
|
|
I am now deleting about as much as I am adding each week. This
|
||
|
|
is an equilibrium that needed to be reached to keep this site
|
||
|
|
running efficiently. By keeping the files fresh and current,
|
||
|
|
you can always count on getting the best music without having to
|
||
|
|
spending hours searching for it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Cleaning /music/disks Directory
|
||
|
|
I straightened up the /music/disks directory today. I deleted
|
||
|
|
some really old stuff. If you were one of the people who made
|
||
|
|
something I got rid of, don't get upset. Its not that I didn't
|
||
|
|
like them, we just don't have the room.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. KLF Releases
|
||
|
|
There were only 2 KLF releases these past 2 weeks. Usually, in
|
||
|
|
that kind of timeframe, I would have expected at least 5 or 6
|
||
|
|
songs. What's the deal? You know that I delete pretty much all
|
||
|
|
music after one month, and there are only a couple of KLF tunes
|
||
|
|
left in /music/klf. Could there be a secret KLF project I'm not
|
||
|
|
aware of in the making? :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. .message and .review
|
||
|
|
Thanxs to Dan, we now have the ability to put .message files in
|
||
|
|
our directories. Now, whenever you go into a directory, a
|
||
|
|
message will automatically tell you what the directory is about.
|
||
|
|
An explanation of these is probably in this issue of DEMONEWS
|
||
|
|
somewhere else, but I don't see the rest of the magazine until
|
||
|
|
its released. I myself had the idea for the .review files.
|
||
|
|
These will be located in some of the /music directories, and
|
||
|
|
will rate some of the files in the directory (this is really
|
||
|
|
needed in the /music/pplayers and /music/disks dirs).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. New Farandole Tracker
|
||
|
|
It is rumored that Daniel Potter (of Digital Infinity) is
|
||
|
|
working very diligently on his Farandole (FAR) tracker. I have
|
||
|
|
seen an advance release and let me tell you, its much better
|
||
|
|
than before. Intermitent lockups plauged the tracker before
|
||
|
|
(who wants to use a tracker that freezes randomly) but I have
|
||
|
|
kicked this program around and its much harder to get it to
|
||
|
|
crash. :) The only thing that will still reliably crash the
|
||
|
|
system is DOS shell (but I'm SURE this will be fixed shortly).
|
||
|
|
You might have to wait for a little while before this new
|
||
|
|
version comes out, but I'll keep you posted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. My New Program
|
||
|
|
Snowman (that's me) will be releasing a new program in the next
|
||
|
|
couple of weeks. It will keep track of all your internet
|
||
|
|
addresses and is geared for the demo community. Not a simple
|
||
|
|
little utility, this program is robust and has lots of
|
||
|
|
functions and pretty colors. :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
9. DMP Gone Mad!
|
||
|
|
DMP (Dual Module Player) has been like a good TV series for the
|
||
|
|
past couple of years. Every week, there is a new episode, and
|
||
|
|
it generally gets better and better. However, in the past two
|
||
|
|
weeks, there have been 6 new versions of the player released!
|
||
|
|
(DMP290.ZIP, DMP292.ZIP, DMP293.ZIP, DMP294.ZIP, DMP295.ZIP,
|
||
|
|
and DMP32295.ZIP). Now, if I remember correctly, Otto Chrons
|
||
|
|
just recently finished his conscription (in the army) and is
|
||
|
|
back at home. This would certainly explain a lot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My point: I really like DMP, and I want to see at least 6 more
|
||
|
|
versions in the next two weeks!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here are settings I like to use:

||

A. Composer's Contest #1 Results
|
||
|
|
(no comment)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
B. Does Anyone Read This?
|
||
|
|
I really don't get that much response from my articles. As far
|
||
|
|
as I'm concerned, I just write these for myself to keep track of
|
||
|
|
what is happening. If you read these things regularly, it would
|
||
|
|
be nice if you dropped me a line and told me what you think.
|
||

|
((ADDED))
|
||
|
|
========================================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.message files were added to all music directories
|
||
|
|
.review files should start popping up in some directories
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
/music/anecros - music directory for Necros of Psychic Monks
|
||
|
|
/music/anemesis - music directory for Nemesis of iCE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: There will be NO MORE new artist directories for a little while.
|
||
|
|
These two were long overdue, but consider adding a new artist
|
||
|
|
directory like adding an amendment to the US Constitution (hard to
|
||
|
|
do, and not very often).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mellow-D/Sonic music files have been moved to the /groups/sonic dir.
