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 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).
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.
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 in your email when you
send your upload announcement to us. If the subject is missing in
your emailed announcement, I am afraid that we are compelled to
decline your upload, since it will cause too much confusion in our
long announcement queues.
Please indicate clearly if you are the original author of the
program(s). In the case of submitting a scientific paper you must
to be the author (or one of the authors) or have his/her unequivocal
authorization.
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 tsutil39.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 SimTel):
55 chars description (for garbo.uwasa.fi):
Replaces: Example tsutil39.zip
--------.---
Suggested Garbo directory:
Uploader name & email:
(If not the author)
Author or author company:
Email address:
Surface address:
Special requirements:
(Put here whatever beyond the basic PC configuration is
required. Eg if the program requires beyond MsDos 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!)
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.)
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
(Answer Yes if there is enough information within the
program for the user to get essentially started 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 (up to 200 lines, max 72 chars/line):
(Only if necessary. Not required. Avoid all hype)
