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

In  case  you  are  not familiar with garbo.uwasa.fi MS-DOS archives
here is first a brief outline. University of Vaasa,  Finland,  Linux
Pentium 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 1994 the
total number of downloads from our archives was over 6,200,000.  The
number  of  different MS-DOS files was about 4250 (450Mb) at the end
of 1994.  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 130000 readers at the
count made at the end of April 1994.


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

If  you  are  an  MS-DOS  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 MS-DOS 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 files ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/UPLOAD.INF and /pc/UPTEXT.INF have
information on uploading to our MS-DOS FTP archives. If you wish  to
have  them and you do not know how to go about getting them, 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". Please 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.
