- [File: /SimTel/msdos/filedocs/upload.inf Last revised Jan. 3, 1995]
-
- How to upload to SimTel, the Coast to Coast Software Repository (tm)
-
- SimTel does not publish instructions for uploading files for those who
- wish to submit their programs because we coordinate uploads by asking
- contributors to contact us first so we can check to make sure the
- program is not already in the repository.
-
- File uploads are accepted via FTP using a special uploading account
- or by e-mail using a special mailbox which does not interfere with
- regular correspondence.
-
- If you have a program to upload please send e-mail to me with a short
- description of the files you wish to submit. Please do not use Garbo's
- upload description template for SimTel uploads. Information on SimTel's
- announcement format is included in the upload instructions file that you
- will receive. Please do *not* send files to my mailbox.
-
- All uploads must run on or be related to the MS-DOS operating system or
- MS-Windows. Please do not include Visual Basic's VBRUNxxx.DLL in your
- package because it is already available from the SimTel collection.
- Please do not upload Windows NT programs because SimTel does not have
- an NT collection.
-
- All files or programs must have documentation which includes the
- distribution status of the program (it must be freely distributable),
- what the program does and how to use it, and information on how to
- contact the author in case of questions or problems. If the author
- has an e-mail address it is recommended that it be included in the
- documentation and the upload announcement.
-
- Programs submitted to the SimTel collection may appear on CD-ROMs
- offered by several vendors. If the program you are submitting should
- not be distributed this way, or has restrictions on such distribution,
- please don't upload.
-
- Because the collection is available all over the world, we cannot
- accept programs that are or might be subject to U.S. technology export
- restrictions. This includes encryption/decryption programs.
-
- Programs that crack copy protection or passwords will not be accepted.
-
- Games are not accepted unless they are strictly educational. There
- are several sites on the Internet which specialize in other types of
- games.
-
- Thanks to all those who are actively supporting the repository by
- helping us keep up to date with the latest programs.
