You're welcome. But if anyone else needs something bbs-related distributed for
them, I am able to handle that. All they need to do is to send the programs to
me, using either ZIP or RAR compression format, WITH fidonet standards. 1) All
filenames must be in the DOS 8.3 format which Fidonet requires for all files
distributions. And 2) all submissions should have an file_id.diz file, which
optimally I understand should always contain lines that are no longer than 40
spaces. Not totally sure on why that is, other than that on a normal BBS files
listing, that's about all the room that is available after the BBS files
database has handled filename, file size, file time and file date fields.
They can send the archives to any of my four active email addresses.
[email protected],
[email protected],
[email protected], or
[email protected]. Of those, I prefer to have large files sent using the
gtidmore email account.
Distribution is done on the Camelot LordNews FDN which is located at
http://www.filegate.com/camelot/ and I have five directories for files posting.
LordFile - programs for DOS Lord. Lord2fil - Programs for LORD II. WtLord -
programs for Wildcat Tournament Lord. MiscFile - miscellaneous non-LORD
programs. LordNews - contains issues of the Castle Camelot Lord Newsletter.
I can also post Lord igms and utilities on the Fidotel BBS web-site operated by
Shannon Talley, and can send non-Lord bbs programs to him for posting in other
locations on his BBS server, if needed. Lastly, I post all Lord programs to
the www.nightfallgames.com site, which is the only primary distribution source
for all Lord programs in existence, which is kept up-to-date at all times.
That is hosted by Michael Everett.
Has anyone got any idea why so many postings done using the web interface of
the Prism BBS results in people having 2 or three copies show up afterwards of
their message(s)? Gets a little annoying I guess for everyone. Donald
