A few people in the UK plan on putting together a BBSable CD. I believe it
|
|
will be under the HOT STUFF "label" in case any of you are familiar with
|
|
those people. The CD will contain 600MBytes (Ziped) of Demos, FLI's, GLs,
|
|
MODs, MIDI, Gifs, and games. The full package will cost around $50 for
|
|
anyone interested. If you would like any of your stuff to appear on the CD
|
|
then contact rob@sound.demon.co.uk This includes demo groups and such.
|
|
|
|
Anyone have access to a CORETAPE-format DC600 tape backup system? Rob
|
|
(of above) has about 40 MEGS of demos not on our site he is willing to
|
|
contribute. It would be great if someone in the UK had access to a
|
|
DC600 backup system and could upload this stuff. Ah, but it may take
|
|
awhile. Welp, I can wait--I can, really.

I shall be graduating MAY 1 1993. From that time on (and perhaps earlier)
|
|
I will no longer be able to maintain or provide any help in updating this
|
|
(these) demo site(s). If anyone would like the "job" of maintaining,
|
|
commenting, updating, organizing, and continuing the progress I have begun
|
|
please let me know. It does require some "time" but then again, so does
|
|
everything.

LIKELY CHANGES
|
|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
|
|
|
|
--I plan on re-locating all the TEXT files (except the README file) into
|
|
a directory called "text" Within that directory all the up-to-date
|
|
text files--including DEMO.NEWS--shall be kept. Old DEMO.NEWS files
|
|
shall be kept in an "old_text" directory within the text directory--
|
|
at least on the WASP site.
|
|
|
|
IF YOU think this is a BAD idea then get back to me PRONTO as I expect to
|
|
implement the changes the BEGINNING of the NEW MONTH (MARCH).
