INCOMING
|
|
========
|
|
-Startrek is a demo with digitized sound and pictures from TNG show.
|
|
-Sonic-a is an intro with 640x480 graphics and interesting music.
|
|
-tcb-xmas is a Christmas demo with many parts...many not related to x-mas
|
|
-Delta1&2 are two small demos that both have rotating objects. There is
|
|
no music only some PC speaker clicking.
|
|
|
|
-The new (11) arrivals will be updated in a few days.
|
|

|
OLD INCOMING
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
-Look at the dates (ls -ld) for the newest files.

|
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 and can up some of
|
|
those demos here.
|
|
|
|
I am looking for the email address of the person--DOGER--who did CHAOS3D.
|
|
Does anyone out there know it? Who is it that seems to be uploading it
|
|
everywhere? The copy out there does not seem to work with music so...
|
|
|
|
UPLOAD new demos to the /pub/incoming/demos DIRECTORY.

ANSI CONTEST
|
|
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
|
|
|
|
We now have TWO ANSI files which I can choose between to tack onto the demos
|
|
received here. It would be nice to have a couple more. So, if anyone
|
|
wants to go ahead and design a ANSI .COM file and send it my way.
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
MIRROR SITE UPDATE
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The attempt (or should I say battle) to get a mirror site continues. No
|
|
one every seems to reply to my questions/request so there is not much I can
|
|
do but wait. If YOU run a site perhaps you can do a MIRROR. Anyways...
|
|
|
|
There are no mirror sites yet but... Here are some sites I think would be
|
|
nice: ftp.cis.ksu.edu (7.5Kb/s), archive.umich.edu (8.2Kb/s), 128.36.21.1
|
|
(12.7Kb/s), ftp.ulowell.edu (12.? Kb/s). Of course only ONE is necessary
|
|
for the USofA. What about Europeans transferring at .5k and below?
|
|
Well, if you want to solve a problem then do something about it!
|
|
If you want to transfer faster (and I know everyone does) then find a site
|
|
that will want to mirror this place, tell me, and we will arrange things.

WHAT'S UP
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
-The influx of demos has been slow recently and I am not sure why.
|
|
However, a few people (I won't name names) will be uploading some
|
|
stuff. It seems to me a lot of people have demos but just do not want
|
|
to take the time to upload. Go figure. I guess thats the way it is.
|
|
-The ABOUT.DEMOS file gives a general description of the demos here. I update
|
|
it when possible--just do a "ls -ld" to see the date the file was updated.
|
|
-Remember to type "get DEMO.NEWS_? -" if you want to read these text files
|
|
while on line. Only and idiot would do that with something like UNREAL--
|
|
please don't try to read a binary (.zip,.exe,.lzh,.arj) file while online!
|
|
-For those who can't wait to get a new demo remember you can always go into
|
|
the pub/incoming/demos directory for the newest arrivals. However, be
|
|
forewarned that if there is a problem with a demo there (i.e. virus,
|
|
trojan) I will not be held responsible.
