A recommended formula for your garbo.uwasa.fi upload announcements
==================================================================
This is file is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPTEXT.INF. Please see
garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPLOAD.INF for our full upload instructions,
including a sample session on how to upload.
Please remember to email your MsDos upload announcement to
pc-up@uwasa.fi. (For Windows uploads use win-up@uwasa.fi, for the
rare QL uploads use ts@uwasa.fi, and for Mac uploads please use
mac-up@uwasa.fi).
This format below is intended as a helpful guidance. You are not
compelled to use this, or to fill in each and every item. E.g.
uploaders of updates of programs by other authors might find this
too cumbersome. (For example, I am not using this format for my own
announcements). But if you are the original author, this might be
of use to you as an outline.
However, you must assure to use a descriptive subject header in your
email when you send your upload announcement to us. If not, we
might not publish your announcement at all!
Please indicate clearly if you are the original author of the
program(s).
My best compliments to the kind users who have contributed in
drawing up this format.
The format for MsDos uploads below is in two parts. First with
comments, then without them to act as your base if you wish to.
File name: Example tsutil36.zip
--------.--- (max 8 + 3 chars for MsDos)
(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).
40 chars description (for 4DOS):
46 chars description (for SIMTEL20):
55 chars description (for garbo.uwasa.fi):
Replaces: Example tsutil36.zip

(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.)
Nagware: Y/N
(Answer Yes if the software displays registration reminders
more than once, or if it requires the user to type in more
than 3 characters which are not necessary in the registered
version, or if it induces more than 5 seconds delays in the
unregistered version)
Self-documenting: Y/N

program for the user to get essentially started without
reading external documentation.)
