- Author: Prof. Timo Salmi
- Program: Author list: How to submit your information
- Subject: How to submit your information to the author list
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
- Invitation to the list of MsDos PD and shareware authors:
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- What is garbo.uwasa.fi
- ----------------------
-
- In case you are not familiar with garbo.uwasa.fi MsDos archives here
- is first a brief outline. University of Vaasa, Finland, Sun IPX
- SPARCstation garbo.uwasa.fi has a large collection of PD and
- shareware PC programs available by anonymous FTP (File Transfer
- Protocol) or mail server. This repository is used extensively. For
- example in 1992 the total number of downloads from our archives was
- over 2,600,000. The number of different MsDos files was about 3200
- at the end of 1992. The Garbo archives are also available on a
- CD-ROM.
-
- The downloads are made worldwide by users from InterNet sites in
- Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. There are some 2000
- universities connected to InterNet, and there is also a great number
- of business enterprises which have an access. The UseNet newsgroup
- where the files are announced which are uploaded to FTP archives
- such as garbo.uwasa.fi was subscribed by over 70000 readers at the
- count made at the end of September 1993.
-
-
- General information to the authors
- ----------------------------------
-
- If you are an MsDos utility PD or SW author who wishes to get
- included on this list you are most welcome to email me your
- submission. Please note that your program(s) should be reasonably
- well established and must be non-trivial to merit an inclusion on
- this list.
-
- You must have a sufficiently stable email address that is reachable
- on or from InterNet. For example authors without an InterNet address
- but with a Compuserve address are reachable from InterNet. You can
- send me email from Compuserve by applying send to
- ">INTERNET:ts@uwasa.fi".
-
- Your program should preferably fall within the eligible
- garbo.uwasa.fi MsDos PD & SW categories. In practice this means that
- the addresses of the authors of (solely) recreational games are not
- solicited. I am hoping that someone else would take it upon
- him/herself to compile a similar list for games authors. A
- corresponding Windows' program authors list is maintained by Chris
- Marriott (chris@chrism.demon.co.uk).
-
- Having your program on garbo.uwasa.fi archives or submitting it to
- us is *NOT* a precondition for the inclusion of your information to
- this authors' address list. Naturally we hope, however, that you
- will keep us up to date about the updates of your program if it is
- on the Garbo archives.
-
- The file garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPLOAD.INF has information on uploading
- to our MsDos FTP archives. If you wish to have it and you do not
- know how to go about getting it, you are most welcome to email me
- for further, prerecorded information.
-
- If you for some reason should later wish your name to be removed
- from this list, please just let me know then.
-
-
- On the information to be entered
- --------------------------------
-
- - Please fill in. That way the possibility of me making errors
- is diminished.
- - This is above all an address list. Therefore the "Program:" line
- should have your major or preferred product including a suitable
- description in a manner that does not exceed column 68 on the
- single line reserved for this purpose. (Thus only one line).
- - Yet, if possible, be specific about your product. Rather than
- just stating e.g.
- Program: GISMO
- you might want to state
- Program: GISMO Global International Simulator MOdelling utilities
- - When you kindly fill this in for me, please do not use tabs, and
- start from column 13 as the ruler indicates.
- - Fill in just one "sheet". Do not send in several. If you have
- many products, please choose.
- - If you are correcting or changing an entry I already have, please
- be sure to fill in all the items, nevertheless. Not just the
- changed one.
- - I have to retain full rights to choose and edit the submitted
- entries.
