The Clipper File-Net
Policy for ClipperNet
What is ClipperNet?
═══════════════════
ClipperNet is a specialized network of BBS's that are
intrested in the subject of the XBase-Compilers: Clipper,
FoxPro, FCO/Force and dBase.
ClipperNet was started in June 1991 and is currently being
lead by Max Bressel (2:240/5300) and Mike Paschen (2:240/5500)
Who may join ClipperNet ?
═════════════════════════
Any Node is free to join ClipperNet, but there is a maximum
of 2 CLN nodes in each local telephonezone (Area code in
Zone 1.) In accordance with the RC (ZC) this maximum can
be exceeded, after rectification with CLN-HQ.
The CLN Nodes must allow FREQ's to all nodes even points
and unlisted ones. A free download of 20 minutes and
500 kb at 2400 Baud should be allowed as well.
A node does not have to carry all CLN File-Echos but a feeding
node should carry all areas to offer them for his downlinks. It
is compulsary to carry ALL CLN Mail-Echos though !
CLN - ClipperNet is available at all Filebones in the US/Europe
as well as through Satellite ("Planet Connect").
To get the current routing-file frequest CL-ROUTE.TXT from
CLN-HQ 2:240/5300 or 2:240/5500.
Who may hatch files ?
══════════════════════
Only RCs and NCs may hatch files into CLN. (Zone 1: Files
should be sent to 1:3802/213 for hatching. This may be subject
to change as CLN grows). Before hatching any CLN File they MUST
be checked for viruses with the latest available scanner.
[McAfee for example]
What's ClipperNet intending to do ?
═══════════════════════════════════
The idea behind ClipperNet is to spread information and new
XBase Files (Clipper, dBase, FoxPro, FCO/Force) throughout
the world.

File-Compression ?
══════════════════
All Files should be packed with ZIP or ARJ. We use Arj as a
standard in ClipperNet. To reach a high transfer-rate
all TIC's should be packed as well. (Not required)
Nodelist ?
==========
In case your Fido-Adress changes, send the information to
2:240/5300, so that we can update the Routing-File CL-ROUTE.TXT
(which is frequestable) asap. (Zone 1: Updates can be sent to
1:3802/213)
We are planning to set up a nodelist of its own for CLN in the
near future. A questionary will be sent through the File-Echos
of CLN shortly !
