This is not done automatically so you do not need to type anything specific. We can also send you the "TOP25DL" which is in the /news directory and compiles the top 25 downloaded files every week automatically. FOR those wondering "Hey, I subscribed but I did not receive anything via mail yet." consider the following: a) This weekend the mail decided it would take a DAY longer to be sent--i.e. the post office does dont deliver mail on the weekends (seems to be the same policy here), b) for those of you who know UNIX we use the "at" command and I update the same file that is atted--I suspected "at" spooled the file but did not know until I just proved it TODAY. Thus, either we have to start doing a double "at" or just split our program in half. If you have no idea what I am talking about don't worry cause someone has it under control. The only mail to BOUNCE this week was to--Toby (again). If Toby wants it fixed he has to notify me asap. --------- DEMOS.TXT --------- This file is in the /alpha directory has been recently updated. This week demos k-n were updated fully. By the end of the month everything should be back to where it was a year ago--100% updated. Of course this does not include the programming directory. -------------- Demos & Money -------------- Future Crew has gotten a few bucks, Ultraforce has, as well as a few other PC demo groups. Well, maybe this is your chance--if you like Creative (SB company). I saw this tidbit posted on c.s.i.p.d and it was not sent directly to me. Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos From: jpynchon@netcom.com (Jonathan Pynchon) Subject: Request for bids Summary: Creative Tech needs a demo Keywords: demo 3-d money Date: Fri, 11 Mar 1994 19:39:02 GMT Creative Technology Ltd. is requesting bids for demo/training software for a new wireless 3D input device product line. This software should demonstrate the unique capabilities of the device for navigation and control of X,Y, and Z axes, as well as rotational input, in true 3 dimensional movement rather than implied movement as with traditional joysticks. The hardware connects via a standard serial port. The program must create excitement about the product, it should feature fast 3D graphics and high quality sound effects and music. The software may also introduce new ideas for the use of the vertical axis and the 3D cube such as layering, where each layer or zone in the 3D space has a unique meaning to the application. This program will be used for trade show and other demos and will be bundled with our product as an introduction and 3D tutorial for the customer. As such we feel it will provide an excellent opportunity for the software developer to promote itself to a wide audience. Future 3D software development projects are also planned for this product line. Please send questions, comments, sample demo programs and/or a proposal or contact information to jpynchon@netcom.com. Creative Technology Ltd. designs, manufactures, and markets the line of Sound Blaster audio cards for the PC, as well as Multimedia Upgrade Kit bundles and video capture boards such as the Video Blaster. ======= FINALLY ======= ONCE AGAIN: If you have anything demo related you want to say you can say it here too. Just mail me what you want to say by Friday and I will include it in the newsletter that weekend. dmw@eng.ufl.edu
