DemoNews is a weekly publication dedicated to the demo scene. It is
|
|
produced at the Internet FTP site ftp.eng.ufl.edu (aka WASP or HORNET).
|
|
This newsletter focuses on all aspects of demos and demo-making (including
|
|
music, art, and coding).
|
|
|
|
There are currently four active demo-operators at this site:
|
|
|
|
Dan Wright (Pallbearer) - GENERAL - dmw@eng.ufl.edu
|
|
Christopher G. Mann (Snowman) - MUSIC - r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu
|
|
Mike - GENERAL - weis@elf.stuba.sk
|
|
Jason (Cavalier) - ANSI - cavalier@shadow.net
|
|
|
|
This site is mirrored by the following ftps:
|
|
ftp.uwp.edu
|
|
ftp.luth.se --> DOWN lately due to hard drive problem.
|
|
ftp.sun.ac.za

|
|
Here are some thoughts on our lack of space:
|
|
|
|
-We don't have enough of it
|
|
-Even if we deleted ALL ansi, it would only free up 26 Megs
|
|
-We have a HUGE >20 Meg old version of Emacs off of our root
|
|
directory that we can't get rid of
|
|
-Programming source takes up very little, so we can have more
|
|
-Music disks take up WAY too much space, so we will have less
|
|
|
|
You've heard us bitch and bitch about how we don't have enough space. Well,
|
|
the above statistics should explain.
|
|
|
|
I have found that ftp.uwp.edu does an excellent job of mirroring our site,
|
|
so if you want a file that was on here 3 months ago, chances are good that
|
|
they will have it. In addition, I get a faster transfer rate from this site.
|
|
My suggestion to you is: if the file you want can be found on ftp.uwp.edu,
|
|
then hop on there and get it. This also will make hornet a bit faster, as
|
|
not so many people will be online.
|
|
|
|
In summary, unless Hornet gets more space online, we will become a CURRENT
|
|
site of demos/music/code/ansi as opposed to a STOREHOUSE of all files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPACE
|
|
|
|
We will probably delete some older demos to help reduce our space problems.
|
|
If you are interested in older demos I recommend getting some before they
|
|
get deleted in the coming weeks without notice. Of course BBS's and
|
|
the ftp.mpoli.fi site may carry what we delete so all is not lost.

(GENERAL)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There is a new tracker out this week. It is called Dynamic Studio
|
|
Professional, and makes DSM files. I havn't downloaded this yet, but it might
|
|
be worth checking out. I belive it only uses GUS, and you can find it under
|
|
/music/trackers/dynamic.arj. There are also a couple of songs in .dsm format
|
|
which can be found under /music/songs/dsm. Let me know what you think of it
|
|
and I'll post it here next issue.
|
|
|
|
Nothing else for now.

|
|
(GENERAL)
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The /code directory is slowly being reorganized.
|
|
|
|
With music, you have files like MOD, S3M, MTM, etc. The same goes for code,
|
|
where you have files like ASM, PAS, C, etc. Include what language your source
|
|
code is in the description. This will make things easier for people who want
|
|
to download your file.

Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information.
|
|
Snowman:
|
|
|
|
Well, my responsibility for the Escape CD is almost done. I have finished
|
|
the recording of the audio portion, and I am sort of working on the Art. The
|
|
rest of the workload falls on the shoulders of Dan Wright. Dan has been doing
|
|
a ton of work on this project, and I think he deserves a letter or two of
|
|
appreciation. You can write him at dmw@inca.gate.net.
|
|
|
|
Dan:
|
|
|
|
I updated the files in this (/democd) directory. The file "dirlist.txt"
|
|
contains all the demos/music/etc that will appear as DATA on the CD.
|
|
CDINFO.TXT is now up to date and should answer most of the questions
|
|
you may feel like asking.
|
|
|
|
The final CD shall contain 232 Megs of DATA, 12 Songs (9 from MC][), and
|
|
a full color insert/backliner in a "jewel" case. The absolute price has
|
|
not been set at this time. When I send out my final checks for the CD
|
|
pressing and ART I will be able to tabulate the EXACT cost. Keep the
|
|
figure of $10-$13 in mind...which is the range originally predicted.
