The required formula for your garbo.uwasa.fi upload announcements
=================================================================
This is file is ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/UPTEXT.INF. Please see
ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/UPLOAD.INF for our full upload instructions,
including a sample session on how to upload.
Please do *NOT* email your upload announcement (or its copies)
directly to the Garbo moderators. Use only the proper email address
alias address given below.
Email your MS-DOS upload announcement to pc-up@uwasa.fi. For
Windows uploads use win-up@uwasa.fi, for Unix uploads use
unix-up@uwasa.fi, for the rare QL uploads use ql-up@uwasa.fi, and
for Mac uploads please use mac-up@uwasa.fi. (Please note: NOT e.g.
pc-up@garbo.uwasa.fi but pc-up@uwasa.fi).
As of February 1995 using this format is compulsory if you wish to
have your submission considered for Garbo. If you have absolutely
compelling reasons for not using it, please contact the Garbo
moderators for discussing the matter. We have made some rare
exceptions if there are _very_ good reasons. For example, I am not
using this format myself for announcing my own programs.
If you are submitting a scientific paper, please naturally write an
abstract of your submitted paper as the description in the format
below.
You _MUST_ use a descriptive subject header, starting with a .zip
file name, in your email when you send your upload announcement. It
must be in the email's header. Embedding it in the body of the
message is insufficient. An example
"gismo10.zip Global Integrated Simulation Model uploaded"
If the subject is missing in your emailed announcement or the
announcement is inadequate, your submission will not be considered.
To start with, you must get a positive auto-reply from our
autoresponder.
Please indicate clearly if you are the original author of the
program(s). In the case of submitting a scientific paper you must be
the author (or one of the authors) or have his/her unequivocal
authorization.
The format for MS-DOS uploads below is in two parts. First with
comments, then without them to act as your base. Please, use the
latter.
File name: Example tsutil39.zip
--------.--- (max 8 + 3 chars for MS-DOS)
(The file name should preferably have a version number, and if it is
an update, it must. No two different renditions, however small the
difference, are allowed to have equivalent names at Garbo.
Furthermore, if the name is extremely common like rm.zip you must
make it more unique like I would use rm_ts10.zip in this example).
123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789
40 chars description:
46 chars description:
59 chars description:
(you may choose only one)
Replaces: Example tsutil39.zip
--------.---
Suggested Garbo directory:
(For e.g. a new MS-DOS upload first see /pc/DIRNAMES and
/pc/INDEX.ZIP for the contents of the directories).
Uploader name & email:
(You must use your own full name and have a returnable
email address. A company name is not sufficient as the name.
Anonymous or aka uploads are rejected outright.)
Author or author company:
Email address:
Surface address:
Special requirements:
(Put here whatever beyond the basic PC configuration is
required. E.g. if the program requires beyond MS-DOS version
3.2, a special video adapter like EGA, 286 or 386, Desqview,
mouse, etc).
Shareware payment required from private users: Y/N
Shareware payment required from corporates: Y/N
Distribution limitations:
(Put here any preconditions on the distribution. The most
common are geographical limitations, eg. for North America
only, and limitations on redistribution on CD-ROMs. Due to
recent trends, this item must be included!)
Garbo CD-ROM distribution allowed without extra preconditions: (Y/N)
(The uploader / author must accept and guarantee that the
uploaded package may be put on commercial Garbo CD-ROMs
without additional restrictions or conditions, requirements
of free copies or any other individualized arrangements. This
item does _not_ waive in any way the author's copyrights or
the possible shareware status of the the package.)
Demo: Y/N
(Answer Yes if the software is restricted so that it
essentially cannot perform the task it was designed to do:
e.g. word processors that cannot save files, restricted data
size, communication prog with limited time communication,
calculators with a highly limited set of functions in
comparison with the full version, etc. Expireware, that
is programs that cease to function after a certain date,
are not accepted at all.)
Nagware: Y/N
(Answer Yes if the software displays registration reminders
or if it requires the user to type in extra characters which
are not necessary in the registered version or if it induces
delays in the unregistered version. If you are not sure, answer
Yes.)
Self-documenting: Y/N
(Answer Yes only if there is enough information within the
program for using all its major features without reading
external documentation.)
External documentation included: Y / N / Length in Kb or pages
Source included: Yes / No / N/A (N/A = Not Applicable)
Size zipped / original (in Kb).
10 lines description (not more than 72 chars/line):
(Avoid all hype!)
Long description (Not more than 200 lines, max 72 chars/line):
(Only if necessary. Not required. Avoid all hype!)
