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
Inmediatly after that, insert the file that you want to submit.
Please try to submit files in UUencoded format or Unix-Shar archives.
If you still wish to send a plain ASCII file, please make sure that
the file does NOT contain any line beginning with 'path', since that
will cause the server to think that you want to change the return
address of the file.
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 "/".
