UNITEX is a trademark of Development Programme Initiatives,

Tax deductible contributions to help support this system
made payable to DPII, and sent to the above address
will be greatly appreciated.
This BBS is a voluntary effort of Development Programme
Initiatives, Inc. DPII operates UNITEX for its' sponsor - the
International Federation of Business and Professional Women, a
Class I Non-Governmental Organization with consultative status
before the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
Ms Dorothy Nicklus, UN Representative for the IFBPW, is the Chair of DPII.
Dr. James Waldron is Senior Technical Director and SYSOP (System Operator)
of Unitex, Dr Marshall Whithed is Project Director and Assistant System

Technical Coordinator of Unitex.
As you no doubt can tell by now, this file is reserved for
all those disclaimers, and notices that you would ordinarily
find on the page behind the title page in a book. If you do not
wish to slog through this file, or at anytime there is output
you wish to stop, just type CTRL-C, usually spelled ^C. You
will find a file in File Area 3 called CONTROL explaining
control characters, and how to type them.
Your use of UNITEX is voluntary, as is our operation of it,
and no claims for any damages arising from the use of UNITEX,
real or imagined, can in any way be compensated for. In other
words, we are not responsible for your use of our system.
Moderate attempts at security are being attempted. Each
user gets to pick his or her own password. Each user is
responsible for safeguarding that password. Remember also that
the Sysop can see what your password is. You can change your
password with the "C" command at the Main Menu. Messages marked
"PRIVATE" can only be read by the sender, the intended
recipient, and the System Operators. The intended recipient is
ONLY matched if the caller's name matches EXACTLY that of the
intended recipient. If a private message is sent to the users
full name, but the user calls in with a nickname, the system
will NOT allow delivery of the message. If the message is not
sent as a private message, it is possible the intended recipient
will read in anyway (along with everyone else). Only those designated by
DPII may send Private messages.
All information uploaded to UNITEX goes into a special
sub-directory of the BBS (Bulletin Board System) which can only
be accessed by the Sysop (System Operator). The Sysop will then
determine that the material is deemed fit for moving into a
download area accessible by other users. This is by no means an
attempt to censor for political, or reasons other than the fact
that some Twits insist on uploading material of an offensive
nature (electronic graffiti). Such material will not be made
available on this BBS. In fact, a special area, called MISC for
"miscellaneous" has been set aside for those files uploaded by
well meaning people, which are otherwise inappropriate for this
board. In this way, all information that "passes inspection" that
has been uploaded to this BBS, will be made available for a
limited time to our callers for them to download, at their own
risk.
Information found on this system (except in the MISC file
area) is thought to be correct, but not guaranteed to be
correct. The Sysop would appreciate any corrections by any user.
Corrections may be left to the Sysop when you log out with the G
(Goodbye) command.
The OPUS Bulletin Board Software was written by Wynn Wagner III
from The P.O.L.E. of Dallas, Texas (NET/NODE 124/108).This file will
someday be updated with others who should receive credit. Fido
and FidoNet are trademarks of Tom Jennings.
If you feel that you have information that should be
distributed to our "community of interest", please feel free to
send it via FidoNET mail: James Waldron (1:107/701) or you can
upload it, and then leave a message to the Sysop with information
about the file you've uploaded. Do not be surprised, however, if
you are considered "Well Meaning", and your material winds up in
the MISC area. This sort of thing is very subjective, and the
Sysop's decision is final.
Unitex is designed to help inform and educate people
interested in the United Nations system, and to assist those
who wish to help achieve the goals of the United Nations. We
hope you enjoy the system.
Dr. James Waldron (Sysop) and Robert Osband (Assistant Sysop)
