September 1994 CD-ROM - SYSOP News
SUBDIRECTORY NAMES:
==================
Last month, our CD-ROM preparation software gave all the subdirectories
two-character names. Because we were already so late with the CD, we did not
have time to modify the software to change the names. We have made that
change this month and the subdirectories are back to the old names (e.g.:
COMMUNIC instead of CM). We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused.
The following is repeated from last month for the benefit of new subscribers:
CREATE YOUR OWN FILES.BBS FILES:
===============================
The Windows version of the CD-ROM access program has a new menu option which
will let you generate customized FILES.BBS files.
You can specify the format of each entry, as well as how much information
should appear in the descriptions: full description, first line only, author's
name, ASP membership, and registration fee.
You can do one directory at a time or create FILES.BBS files for all
subdirectories in a directory. In the latter case, individual files are
created using the directory name as the FILES.BBS name (e.g.: DATABASE.BBS).
One of the filtering options when creating the FILES.BBS files is whether to
include all files regardless of permission required, or to include only those
files which do not require permission to distribute, or to include files which
give ASP BBSs advance permission to distribute.
By doing one directory at a time and clicking on the Select button, you will
see which files are being excluded by the permission option you choose. If you
see a program you want to distribute, you can write the author of that program
for permission.
Unfortunately, we only started recording the permission requirements for
programs a few months ago, so only the section of the month, such as Business
on this CD, may have programs which require permission to distribute but which
will not be culled out by the software. It is the responsibility of the Sysop
to determine distribution requirements for the programs in the section of the
month each month.
REGISTER YOUR BBS WITH PSL:
==========================
July's problem with the Games FILES.BBS files illustrated to us the
need to know the names and addresses of BBSs which are using the PSL CD-ROM.
So to enable us to reach you when problems arise and for our own control
purposes, we now ask BBSs which use the PSL CD-ROM, our compilation of
files, or our file descriptions, to sign up with us. We may also use this
information in the future to produce a directory of BBSs.
The following is for your convenience in signing up with us:
BBS Name: ______________________________ BBS Phone #: ___________________
Your Name: _____________________________ Voice Phone: ___________________
Address: _________________________________________________________________
Or you may call 713-524-6394 and give us this info or FAX it to 713-524-6398.
