- Internet Upload Service 17-Jan-94
-
- What is the Internet Upload Service?
-
- The Internet Upload Service is a service being offered by FLFSoft, Inc.
- to authors who do not have a Internet connection, do not know how to
- upload software to the Internet or do not have the time to upload to the
- Internet. The Internet Upload Service is currently uploading to three
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol) servers on the Internet:
-
- ftp.cica.indiana.edu (MS-Windows programs only)
- garbo.uwasa.fi (MS-DOS programs)
- SimTel.Coast.net (MS-Windows and MS-DOS programs)
- ftp.uwp.edu (Games archive)
-
- What type of programs can be submitted?
-
- Due to the nature of the Internet, authors must be aware that their
- software is being distributed internationally. Do not submit programs
- that are restricted in distribution by the United States Government or
- restricted in distribution by copyright laws. You assume the
- responsibility of your products being distributed internationally.
-
- In order to reduce their costs, cica, garbo and SimTel create CD
- collections of their software. In order to use the Internet Upload
- Service you must grant CD distribution rights to ftp.cica.indiana.edu,
- garbo.uwasa.fi and SimTel.Coast.net.
-
- What is new with the Internet Upload Service?
-
- The Internet Upload Service has added two new services to help our
- customers with the distribution of their shareware products. First we
- have added another ftp server to our service. We are proud to add
- SimTel.Coast.net as an ftp site. SimTel is mirrored to over 47 sites
- around the world.
-
- If you uplod to SimTel, you have a choice about your upload annoucement.
- If you would like your 'name up in lights', send the upload announcement
- directly to SimTel (see instructions on UPLOAD.INS). If you would like
- FLFSoft, Inc. to make the announcement for you, please complete item 3
- below.
-
- The second new service is a direct feed to the World Wide Web (WWW)
- server at TheYellowPages.com (r). TheYellowPages.com (r) will provide
- information about your program and give potential customers an easy
- method to download your programs from the Internet. You may choose to
- have your name and program information passed to TheYellowPages.com (r),
- and it's FREE! For more information on TheYellowPages.com (r), see the
- file README.WWW or contact TheYellowPages.com (r) directly.
-
- The third new service is ftp.uwp.edu. ftp.uwp.edu maintains a game archive.
- How do I sumbit my shareware?
-
- 1) Complete and sign the INTERNET.FRM.
-
- NOTE: Sign the form only for the servers that you want your programs uploaded to.
-
- 2) Prepare a GARBO.FRM. (instructions are located in GARBO.INS) if you would
- like your program uploaded to garbo.
-
- NOTE: a seperate INTERNET.FRM and GARBO.FRM must be completed for
- each package submitted.
-
- 3) Prepare a SIMTEL.FRM. (instructions are located in SIMTEL.INS) if you would
- like your program uploaded to SimTel. If you would like to submit the
- announcment, e-mail SIMTEL.FRM to w8sdz@SimTel.Coast.NET on the Internet
- or on CompuServe to INTERNET:w8sdz@simTel.Coast.Net.
-
- NOTE: if you would like FLFSoft, Inc. to make the announcement for you,
- please include SIMTEL.FRM on your disk. If we do not find a SIMTEL.FRM
- and you request distribution to SimTel, we will assume that you are
- making the annoucement.
-
- 4) Enter "YES" if you would like information about your program passed to
- TheYellowPages.com (R).
