Play By Mail Instructions (Sample Bulletin) 09-02-91
As a service to the users of this conference, the SysOp has provided a
file directory to allow users to upload computer PBM game files. In order to
make and keep room for other files and to work with the RBBS upload/download
System, the SysOp requests that all game files be uploaded using the following
name format
xxmodayr.gam
^^^^^^^^ ^^^
|||||||| |||
|||||||| +++----- extension (Rename .Zip to .GAM)
||||||++--------- Year (Year Created)
||||++----------- Date (Day Created)
||++------------- Month (Month Created)
++--------------- 2 letter/number game id (Determined By Players)
All PBM Game files must be uploaded in a zip format and given the extension
.GAM
Example: PKZIP AA010180.GAM PBMFILE.EXT
The example creates the game upload file with the player id of AA
created on the date of January 1, 1980 with an archive extension of .GAM and
places PBMFILE.EXT in the archive AA010180.GAM
All games will be placed in a download directory and will be available for
download for 3 days. After 3 days the file will be deleted to make room for
other players turns.
