FILE: help contribution LAST CHANGE: Dec 25th, 1989. VERSION: UX-Maze Server V2.0c Submitting files to Alex's Mail Archive Server ============================================== As with any user supported file database, its contents are as good as its submissions by users. So, if you have anything to share please, don't hesitate to submit it. As any other commodore users, I have always felt the fustration of not being able to find programs for my commodore that suits my tastes. Most commercial software now-a-days, consist mostly of games, and very few are of very good quality. And productivity software is allmost non existant. Or if it exist with very limited capabilities. (Of course, there are always exceptions to this). The idea of this archive is to provide commodore users of an alternative source of FREE, or shareware software to commodore users in the net. There is supposed to be thousands of shareware/freeware programs out there, very few of them gets distributed over the net. This archive is one of the ways this files can get distributed. Even programs download from Quantum-Link are welcome here (Remember that not all users has access to Q-Link) How to Submit files to the Mail Archive server ============================================== The Mail-Archive-Server has provisions to receive file contributions from users all over the net. To do so, you have to Send mail to me, with a Subject line of: Subject: Mail-Archive-Request and at the beginning of your message (that is, BEFORE the file that you wish to submit) enter the following line: receive volume file (VERY Improtant, if you don't put it, the server will not know what to do with your file and as a default it will erase it) Inmediatly after that, insert the file that you want to submit. Please try to submit files in UUencoded format or Unix-Shar archives. You may send Plain ASCII files anytime though. If the Server indeed received the file, you will receive a confirmation message. If you don't receive any, that would probably mean that your message got lost somewhere. (Or that you didn't use the receive command). FEEL FREE TO SUBMIT STUFF ANYTIME NOTE on filenames: ================== Please try to avoid using "/" in the filename. (A usually try to follow the protocol, that every "/" in a Commodore filename, gets translated to a Unix ":" and every ":" in a Unix filename gets translated to Commdore "/". ______________________________________________________________________ Alex C.
