*** QUARTERDECK PRODUCT SUPPORT CONFERENCE RULES *** Revised 11/16/95 ***
In compliance with Fidonet Echo Policy, the following will be posted at
least once a month. These rules are in addition to any valid Fidonet
rules or policy, and may be updated at any time by the Moderator.
ALL USERS WHO POST IN THIS CONFERENCE MUST AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES
STATED HEREIN AND ALL OTHER PREVAILING FIDONET RULES AND POLICY.
The International Fidonet Conference DESQVIEW is not owned or operated
by Quarterdeck Office Systems. It is an echomail conference provided by
the Fidonet amateur e-mail network and is paid for by individual systems
who help distribute it. Please follow Conference Rules to help keep
moving DESQVIEW as cost effective as possible.
Discussions are permitted on *all Quarterdeck products* including
DESQview, DESQview/X, QEMM, Manifest, CleanSweep, Sidebar, Internet
Suite, and other Quarterdeck Internet Products.
All discussions, including those regarding hardware and software, shall
be of a technical nature only and must pertain to the operation or
enhancement of a Quarterdeck product. When a discussion goes beyond
this, then either use netmail or another more appropriate conference.
This is not a Windows bashing conference or a debate conference on
DESQview vs. Windows, DESQview vs. OS/2, QEMM vs. Netroom, etc.
Bashing is strictly off-topic and annoying.
No advertising is permitted. This includes, but is not limited to,
commercial products/services, BBS notices, BBS/other Files Lists. Please
seek Moderator approval via netmail if you wish to claim an exemption.
Posts from DVNET and Quarterdeck will be periodically entered in this
conference. These postings are of an informational nature for
Quarterdeck product users and have been approved by the Moderator.
DEBUG/UUENCODE file script postings are NOT permitted. Posting of these
type messages will be considered annoying behavior.
DVNET (Headquarters 1:355/38@fidonet.org) is considered the official
method of distributing files to enhance Quarterdeck products. DVNET
member systems have their file listings available for file request under
the magic name DVNET. A DVNET systems list is published monthly in the
DESQVIEW conference or it can be file requested from 1:355/38 as
DVNet.lst. DVN-INF.* is available from any DVNET system. It contains
DVNET policy, setup info, author submission info, and an application.
Flames or obscenities are not permitted either in posted or quoted form.
LEAVE MODERATING TO THE MODERATOR. If you wish to chastise someone,
then do it via netmail, or netmail the Moderator so that he can take
action.
If a Topic or Thread is deemed off-topic by the Moderator, then take any
discussion of such to netmail.
Posting "test" messages is considered annoying. Please use a local
conference to test your links or software.
If in the message header the "From:" field is an alias, then include
your real name at the bottom of the message.
Moving mail costs SysOps money. Duplicate headers, signatures and
tag-lines are considered space wasters and should be avoided. Please do
not "sign" messages unless your header name is an alias or you wish to
post your Internet Email address. If you must use a signature and a
tag-line, they should be: (1) limited to 4 lines, (2) limited to 240
characters, (3) not contain "fancy ASCII-graphics", and (4) not
duplicate information already in the standard Origin Line.
When quoting, quote ONLY pertinent information to get the original point
across. Quoting entire messages and/or signature/tag/origin lines is
annoying.
Discussion of routine Fidonet information should be discussed with your
SysOp or NC, not in this conference.
Eight-bit ASCII characters (>128) or ASCII control codes are not
permitted, either in the message header, body, or tag/origin line, or
cut/pastes from screen captures.
Origin lines must follow accepted Fidonet Echomail Policy.
Although this is an International Conference in nature, ENGLISH is the
official accepted language.
This conference may NOT be ported to any other network without the
written permission of the Moderator.
Questioning Moderator Policy in the DESQVIEW echo shall be considered
annoying. The Moderators are always open to discussion concerning echo
policy and welcome suggestions and comments via NETMAIL or E-Mail.
The Moderators may take part in active discussion in the echo without
necessarily acting in any official capacity, unless the message is
posted "From: Moderator", states "DESQview Moderator" in the origin line
and/or is signed using one of the "official signatures" below:
