- What is ClipperNet?
- ═══════════════════
-
- ClipperNet is a specialized network of BBS's that are
- intrested in the subject of the XBase-Compilers: Clipper,
- FoxPro, FCO/Force and dBase.
-
- ClipperNet was started in June 1991 and is currently being
- lead by Max Bressel (2:240/5300) and Mike Paschen (2:240/5500)
-
-
-
- Who may join ClipperNet ?
- ═════════════════════════
-
- Any Node is free to join ClipperNet, but there is a maximum
- of 2 CLN nodes in each local telephonezone (Area code in
- Zone 1.) In accordance with the RC (ZC) this maximum can
- be exceeded, after rectification with CLN-HQ.
-
- The CLN Nodes must allow FREQ's to all nodes even points
- and unlisted ones. A free download of 20 minutes and
- 500 kb at 2400 Baud should be allowed as well.
-
- A node does not have to carry all CLN File-Echos but a feeding
- node should carry all areas to offer them for his downlinks. It
- is compulsary to carry ALL CLN Mail-Echos though !
-
- CLN - ClipperNet is available at all Filebones in the US/Europe
- as well as through Satellite ("Planet Connect").
-
- To get the current routing-file frequest CL-ROUTE.TXT from
- CLN-HQ 2:240/5300 or 2:240/5500.
-
-
- Who may hatch files ?
- ══════════════════════
-
- Only RCs and NCs may hatch files into CLN. (Zone 1: Files
- should be sent to 1:3802/213 for hatching. This may be subject
- to change as CLN grows). Before hatching any CLN File they MUST
- be checked for viruses with the latest available scanner.
- [McAfee for example]
-
-
- What's ClipperNet intending to do ?
- ═══════════════════════════════════
-
- The idea behind ClipperNet is to spread information and new
- XBase Files (Clipper, dBase, FoxPro, FCO/Force) throughout
- the world.

- File-Compression ?
- ══════════════════
-
- All Files should be packed with ZIP or ARJ. We use Arj as a
- standard in ClipperNet. To reach a high transfer-rate
- all TIC's should be packed as well. (Not required)
-
-
- Nodelist ?
- ==========
-
- In case your Fido-Adress changes, send the information to
- 2:240/5300, so that we can update the Routing-File CL-ROUTE.TXT
- (which is frequestable) asap. (Zone 1: Updates can be sent to
- 1:3802/213)
-
- We are planning to set up a nodelist of its own for CLN in the
- near future. A questionary will be sent through the File-Echos
- of CLN shortly !
