These are the official charters of the following UseNet newsgroups
comp.archives.msdos.announce (moderated)
comp.archives.msdos.d
The newsgroups were created the 15th of December 1992.
Please contact your system manager if your site is not getting these
newsgroups.
comp.archives.msdos.announce (moderated)
----------------------------
"This moderated newsgroup is for the upload announcements and
related information from MSDOS FTP sites with PD and shareware
material. The subjects include the upload announcements via the
MSDOS FTP site moderators, the MSDOS sites' periodical summaries,
potential policy statements and downtime warnings, and the MSDOS FTP
site moderators' reports about the connectivity problems with their
archive sites. Unix announcements conform only if they directly
relate to transferring or handling the MSDOS material from the MSDOS
FTP sites.
Moderators:
Principal moderator Keith Petersen (w8sdz@SimTel.Coast.NET)
Co-moderators Timo Salmi (ts@uwasa.fi) + FAQ maintenance
Brian O'Neill (oneill@cs.uml.edu)
Harri Valkama Not general, Garbo related only
Other FTP site moderators are welcome to help in
the joint moderation of this newsgroup.
Joined moderators Ari Hovila (ajh@uwasa.fi)
Further clarification:
The purpose of comp.archives.msdos.announce is to be a ONE-WAY
channel for MSDOS upload announcements which the moderators handle,
and other one-way, occasional information relating to MSDOS FTP
sites. The moderators will therefore not be handling users'
discussion material, questions, and replies. The unmoderated
comp.archives.msdos.d newsgroup (see below) will cover that aspect."
comp.archives.msdos.d
---------------------
"This unmoderated newsgroup is the discussion subgroup of the
moderated comp.archives.msdos.announce newsgroup. The newsgroup
covers users' reports, questions and discussions about the PD and
shareware programs at the MSDOS FTP sites, and the users' questions
about the MSDOS FTP sites such as the users' connectivity problem
reports. The group is also for posting requests/replies concerning
where to find such programs as are stored at the MSDOS FTP sites.
However, users are expected to refer to the FTP site file indexes
before posting such requests. The newsgroup does not cover any
discussions of fully commercial programs or programs for other
operating systems like OS/2. (These programs have Usenet newsgroups
of their own)."
