- A recommended formula for your garbo.uwasa.fi upload announcements
- ==================================================================
-
- This is file is garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPTEXT.INF. Please see
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPLOAD.INF for our full upload instructions,
- including a sample session on how to upload.
-
- Please remember to email your MsDos upload announcement to
- pc-up@uwasa.fi. (For Windows uploads use win-up@uwasa.fi, for the
- rare QL uploads use ts@uwasa.fi, and for Mac uploads please use
- mac-up@uwasa.fi).
-
- This format below is intended as a helpful guidance. You are not
- compelled to use this, or to fill in each and every item. E.g.
- uploaders of updates of programs by other authors might find this
- too cumbersome. (For example, I am not using this format for my own
- announcements). But if you are the original author, this might be
- of use to you as an outline.
-
- However, you must assure to use a descriptive subject header in your
- email when you send your upload announcement to us. If not, we
- might not publish your announcement at all!
-
- Please indicate clearly if you are the original author of the
- program(s).
-
- My best compliments to the kind users who have contributed in
- drawing up this format.
-
- The format for MsDos uploads below is in two parts. First with
- comments, then without them to act as your base if you wish to.
-
- File name: Example tsutil36.zip
- --------.--- (max 8 + 3 chars for MsDos)
-
- (The file name should preferably have a version number, and if it is
- an update, it must. No two different renditions, however small the
- difference, are allowed to have equivalent names at garbo.
- Furthermore if the name is extremely common like rm.zip you must
- make it more unique like I would use rm_ts10.zip in this example).
-
- 40 chars description (for 4DOS):
- 46 chars description (for SIMTEL20):
- 55 chars description (for garbo.uwasa.fi):

- size, communication prog with limited time communication,
- calculators with a highly limited set of functions in
- comparison with the full version, etc.)
-
- Nagware: Y/N
- (Answer Yes if the software displays registration reminders
