- comp.archives.msdos.announce (moderated)
- ----------------------------
-
- "This moderated newsgroup is for the upload announcements and
- related information from MSDOS FTP sites with PD and shareware
- material. The subjects include the upload announcements via the
- MSDOS FTP site moderators, the MSDOS sites' periodical summaries,
- potential policy statements and downtime warnings, and the MSDOS FTP
- site moderators' reports about the connectivity problems with their
- archive sites. Unix announcements conform only if they directly
- relate to transferring or handling the MSDOS material from the MSDOS
- FTP sites.
-
- Moderators:
- Principal moderator Keith Petersen (w8sdz@SimTel.Coast.NET)
- Co-moderators Timo Salmi (ts@uwasa.fi) + FAQ maintenance
- Brian O'Neill (oneill@cs.uml.edu)
- Harri Valkama Not general, Garbo related only
- Other FTP site moderators are welcome to help in
- the joint moderation of this newsgroup.
- Joined moderators Ari Hovila (ajh@uwasa.fi)
-
- Further clarification:
- The purpose of comp.archives.msdos.announce is to be a ONE-WAY
- channel for MSDOS upload announcements which the moderators handle,
- and other one-way, occasional information relating to MSDOS FTP
- sites. The moderators will therefore not be handling users'
- discussion material, questions, and replies. The unmoderated
- comp.archives.msdos.d newsgroup (see below) will cover that aspect."
-
-
- comp.archives.msdos.d
- ---------------------
-
- "This unmoderated newsgroup is the discussion subgroup of the
- moderated comp.archives.msdos.announce newsgroup. The newsgroup
- covers users' reports, questions and discussions about the PD and
- shareware programs at the MSDOS FTP sites, and the users' questions
- about the MSDOS FTP sites such as the users' connectivity problem
- reports. The group is also for posting requests/replies concerning
- where to find such programs as are stored at the MSDOS FTP sites.
- However, users are expected to refer to the FTP site file indexes
- before posting such requests. The newsgroup does not cover any
- discussions of fully commercial programs or programs for other
- operating systems like OS/2. (These programs have Usenet newsgroups
- of their own)."
