- ========
- 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.
