Excuse my asking a stupid question, but I'd like to get my site registered. I've been looking at some of the entries and can determine what some of the entries are but some I can't. Is it necessary to enter all of those fields? If not, which ones can I get by with not haveing. Which ones are mandatory? Thanks in advance. - sparkie sparkie@madnix.UUCP

If not, which ones can I get by with not haveing. For a detailed answer, see the "README" entry that was last posted to comp.mail.maps in early July. Here's a short extraction from that file: #N UUCP name of site #S manufacturer machine model; operating system & version #O organization name #C contact person's name #E contact person's electronic mail address #T contact person's telephone number #P organization's address #L latitude / longitude #R remarks #U netnews neighbors #W who last edited the entry ; date edited # sitename .domain sitename remote1(FREQUENCY), remote2(FREQUENCY) You should fill in as much as you can, but omit the "sitename .domain" if you're only a small private uucp site ( not xxx.com etc. ). I was going to send the complete file, but your upstream feed is also not in the maps. You've got to get him/her registered also before your entry will do any good ... Send the completed entry to "rutgers!uucpmap" ( they connect to uunet or gatech or ucsd or ames if that helps ). -- Ed Clarke acheron!clarke
