Thanks for your offer to upload to Simtel.Net.

[Note: This is private information.  Do not forward or quote from it.]

The Simtel.Net collections are not writeable from the net.  However, we
do have a special FTP account available for submissions of files.

     Site: upload.simtel.net  (also known as mail.petersen.net)
 Username: incoming
 Password: rxgcptev

Please put your files in the default directory assigned to this username.

PKZIP v2.04g (or compatible) is the preferred format but PKZIP v1.10
files are also accepted.  Self-extracting archives are not accepted.
The only exception to this rule is archiver programs, where there would
otherwise be a chicken-and-the-egg problem.  Archivers should be uploaded
inside a ZIP file in order to allow us to check the executable for CRC
errors.  If your program must be distributed as a SFX because it has an
automatic installation or a security check, put it inside a zip with a
small text file that explains that the EXE is a self-extracting file.
Give a short description of what the program does, who to contact in case
of problems, and where the SFX will be putting its files.

Please remember to use the "binary" or "tenex" mode when uploading binary
files with FTP.

Do not use the same file name as a file that already exists in the
archive.  We cannot guarantee that older mirror sites will pick up same
name files.  Many BBSs get files from our collections - none of them will
fetch a new file by the same name.  There are also user confusion issues.
Please choose a name with the version number in it to help users spot
updates.

All programs submitted to Simtel.Net must include English language
documentation (other languages are allowed but English must also be
included).

A plain text file must be included in the zip file which provides the
following information:

  1. The program's purpose.
  2. If installation is required, how to install it.
  3. The status of the program (Public Domain, Freeware, Shareware)
  4. The program's distribution status, i.e. freely distributable
     or limitations on distribution.
  5. How to contact the author in case of questions or problems

The user must not have to run an executable program to get this
information because that may not be possible due to an incompatible
system or corrupted download.

The Simtel.Net collections are periodically published on CD-ROM by Walnut
Creek CDROM.  If you do not wish to have your package distributed on
CD-ROM please do not upload it.

Programs that stop working after a fixed calendar date will not be
accepted.

Please send a separate announcement by e-mail to  [e-mail]
for each package you have uploaded.  It should begin with a one line
description in this format:

/pub/simtelnet/msdos/modem/
whtprt40.zip    Displays system serial ports & IRQ assignments
12345678.123____123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456
________________^--46 characters maximum in the description--^
________________^--description starts at column 17

Your suggested directory path and filename should be all lower case,
left-justified with no blanks.  Please do not include the zip file name
and/or size in your suggested directory path.  Our posting software
automatically creates the URLs when we post your announcement to the net.

This description of your file in Simtel.Net's index will be read by
our users long after the upload announcements have been posted.  It
is therefore important that the one-line description in your upload
announcement describe the purpose/use of the program, rather than its
name.  The program's name may be included in the one-line description
if there is room for it within the 46 character limit.

A longer description of 10-30 lines must also be included for our
announcement of the file to the net (see example below).  It should
include the status of your program (Public Domain, Freeware, Shareware).

Uploads of animation, GIF (and other graphics image types), sound, and
music files are not classed as programs and generally are not accepted
because there are too many problems with copyright infringements.  There
are other sites that specialize in distributing such material.

Simtel.Net does not accept games for submission to the archives unless
they are strictly educational.  Games which do not meet this requirement
may be submitted to the games collection at Walnut Creek CDROM.  Upload
instructions can be found in file /pub/games/incoming/00README.TXT on
ftp.cdrom.com.

We cannot accept any program that encrypts or decrypts using a method
that may be subject to U.S. export restrictions.

Simtel.Net does not have NT or OS/2 collections because Walnut Creek
CDROM already has a very popular NT collection called Newt and an
OS/2 collection called Hobbes on ftp.cdrom.com and its mirrors.  For
information on how to upload to the NT collection please contact
[e-mail].  For information on how to upload to the OS/2
collection please contact [e-mail].

After your package has been reviewed and placed into the archive you will
receive an e-mail copy of our posting to the net of your announcement.
When you see this posting you will note that the zip file size is
slightly larger.  This is because the following one-line zip comment
is added to each zip file placed in the collection to identify how
it was distributed in case there is any question about where it was
downloaded from:  Distributed by the Simtel.Net(sm) world-wide network

Thanks!
