Invitation to the list of MsDos PD and shareware authors:
--------------------------------------------------------

What is garbo.uwasa.fi
----------------------

In case you are not familiar with garbo.uwasa.fi MsDos archives here
is first a brief outline. University  of  Vaasa,  Finland,  Sun  IPX
SPARCstation  garbo.uwasa.fi  has  a  large  collection  of  PD  and
shareware PC programs available  by  anonymous  FTP  (File  Transfer
Protocol)  or  mail server. This repository is used extensively. For
example in 1992 the total number of downloads from our archives  was
over  2,600,000.  The number of different MsDos files was about 3200
at the end of 1992. The Garbo  archives  are  also  available  on  a
CD-ROM.

The downloads are made worldwide by users  from  InterNet  sites  in
Europe,  North  America,  Asia  and  Australia.  There are some 2000
universities connected to InterNet, and there is also a great number
of  business  enterprises which have an access. The UseNet newsgroup
where the files are announced which are  uploaded  to  FTP  archives
such  as  garbo.uwasa.fi was subscribed by over 70000 readers at the
count made at the end of September 1993.


General information to the authors
----------------------------------

If you are an MsDos utility PD  or  SW  author  who  wishes  to  get
included  on  this  list  you  are  most  welcome  to  email me your
submission. Please note that your program(s)  should  be  reasonably
well  established  and  must be non-trivial to merit an inclusion on
this list.

You  must have a sufficiently stable email address that is reachable
on or from InterNet. For example authors without an InterNet address
but  with  a Compuserve address are reachable from InterNet. You can
send me email from Compuserve by applying send to
">INTERNET:ts@uwasa.fi".

Your   program   should   preferably   fall   within   the  eligible
garbo.uwasa.fi MsDos PD & SW categories. In practice this means that
the  addresses of the authors of (solely) recreational games are not
solicited. I  am  hoping  that  someone  else  would  take  it  upon
him/herself   to  compile  a  similar  list  for  games  authors.  A
corresponding Windows' program authors list is maintained  by  Chris
Marriott (chris@chrism.demon.co.uk).

Having your program on garbo.uwasa.fi archives or submitting  it  to
us  is *NOT* a precondition for the inclusion of your information to
this authors' address list. Naturally we  hope,  however,  that  you
will  keep  us up to date about the updates of your program if it is
on the Garbo archives.

The file garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/UPLOAD.INF has information on  uploading
to  our  MsDos  FTP  archives. If you wish to have it and you do not
know how to go about getting it, you are most welcome  to  email  me
for further, prerecorded information.

If  you  for  some  reason should later wish your name to be removed
from this list, please just let me know then.


On the information to be entered
--------------------------------

 - Please fill in.  That way the possibility of me making errors
   is diminished.
 - This is above all an address list.  Therefore the "Program:" line
   should have your major or preferred product including a suitable
   description in a manner that does not exceed column 68 on the
   single line reserved for this purpose.  (Thus only one line).
 - Yet, if possible, be specific about your product.  Rather than
   just stating e.g.
    Program: GISMO
   you might want to state
    Program: GISMO Global International Simulator MOdelling utilities
 - When you kindly fill this in for me, please do not use tabs, and
   start from column 13 as the ruler indicates.
 - Fill in just one "sheet". Do not send in several. If you have
   many products, please choose.
 - If you are correcting or changing an entry I already have, please
   be sure to fill in all the items, nevertheless.  Not just the
   changed one.
 - I have to retain full rights to choose and edit the submitted
   entries.
