- A_CAD.RUL - International AutoCAD/CAD Conference 02/26/93
-
- o The main topic of this echo conference is AutoCAD(tm) and the use
- of it, add on products like third party or shareware software,
- required hardware, utilities, tips, tricks and programming of any
- facet of ACAD. Other CAD or PC CAD is also open for discussion.
-
- o Advertisements of products or services by vendors of any type or
- personal ads to sell software or hardware are NOT welcome.
-
- o File listings are highly frowned upon but new file announcements
- that would benefit "the topic" will be permitted, within reason.
-
- o Product or Service announcements fall under advertisements and
- are not allowed. The one, and only one exception will be official
- "Update" announcements from Autodesk about AutoCAD(tm).
-
- o Foul or harsh language is not tolerable and will not be accepted.
- If you don't like what someone has to say for personal reasons,
- send them a reply using netmail - not echomail.
-
- o Some echoes allow aliases, but I tend not to want them. I think
- most of the professionals here want to KNOW who they are dealing
- with. I prefer full names used in the echo.
-
- o This conference is not bound by FidoNet, it's open to any network
- and system that wish to carry the conference. Messages in this
- conference should confirm with the FTSC (FidoNet Technical
- Standards Committee) format and must contain a tear and origin
- line. The tear line may not be longer than 35 characters including
- the --- characters. The origin line must fit on one 80 character
- wide CRT including the " # Origin: " text.
-
- o Eight-bit ASCII is not allowed in this conference. All characters
- in displayed message data (text/header) must be in the range 32 to
- 126, which rules out control characters. Control character can be
- shown as ^@ through ^_ for 0 to 31 or any character can be noted
- as <ascii xxx>.
-
- o Offline readers abound and offer system callers an excellence way
- of reading and replying to messages. These readers need to be
- configured to compile with the rule (above) on 8 bit ASCII
- characters. Make sure that your reader is configured to compile
- with FidoNet's standards (in all respects).
-
- o First rule of any echo is leave the moderating to the moderator.
- I am the moderator, if you have a problem with someone, tell me
- about it, don't post flames, etc. in the conference. I will take
- whatever appropriate action I see fit.
-
- o Treat others as you wish to be treated yourself.
-
- o Last Rule: Don't be annoying nor be easily annoyed.
