We are back up over 100 megs again (of free space) with nothing missing in the /demos directory. The ANSI directory is growing by leaps and BOUNDS. Soon (month or two) we WILL have to delete some of the older stuff. I searched ARCHIE for an ANSI ftp site but could not find any. Does anyone know if there is such a site? The TOP25DL may not work properly this week--it used the previous weeks ftp.syslog to compute the stats and will probably do the same this week. As soon as I "find" where the ftp.syslog files are kept I will correct the mistake. Does anyone know if there is going to be a big TCC party this year in Sweden? I recall rumors/postings of it being canceled and have not seen any intro as of late. Please send info my way and I will let everyone else know what is going on. --------- MAIL LIST --------- Hi there, I am like many people who follow the demo scene. I always like to get new demos, music etc., but often dont have the time to continually wade through newsgroups and ftp sites in an attempt to find new items. In comes demuan - The Demo and Music Announce Mailing List. I hope for this to become a list where new releases of the following items are posted: - Demos - Demo Results - Party Details - Soundcards - Music Players - Music Disks - Other information deemed suitable by the moderator (aka me :)) Think of it, if you like, as a comp.sys.ibm.pc.demos.announce and comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.announce rolled into one. I do *not* want it to become a list that floods your mailbox with chat, or irrelevant information, but a place where demo groups and music player coders can post new release details. For this reason, I do not want new mods to be posted to this list, unless they are subject to a demo party, but music-disks are welcome to be posted. * HOW TO SUBSCRIBE * Simple. Send mail to "listserver@oliver.sun.ac.za" with a message body of "subscribe demuan-list Your Name", Your Name being you *name* not email address. For example, mine would be 'Kim Davies'. You will receive a confirmation or error message after this procedure. * HOW TO POST * To send an announcement to the list, post to "demuan-list@oliver.sun.ac.za" with your announcement. Alternately, if that fails, post to "kimba@it.com.au". The announcement will be posted ASAP to the list if it fills the criteria. I am hoping the mailing list to become immensely popular so subscribe :-) Please note, this is *NOT* a binaries list, ftp sites will be given on most cases when applicable as to where to obtain the release.

Its here, and its alive! If you haven't already seen it on your local BBS or FTP, be sure and pick up a copy of MC2RULES.ZIP. Music Contest ][ is an international contest putting many songs in direct competition. The concept is simple: the song that gets the highest votes wins. The contest is divided into two classes, VETERAN and ROOKIE, so that both experienced and beginning computer musician alike can compete. There is public voting so that the final results of the contest will reflect the opinions of the individual musician. The voting system itself is very complex in order to prevent any cheating that might occur. All final totals will be checked and verified by several people to insure that they are correct. The best prize that can be offered is the pride you feel in doing well in the contest. However, for those of you who would like something a little more, there will be prizes such as a sample library, books on music theory, and trophies, all of which will be conveniently shipped right to your home. In addition, several of the best songs will be put onto audio CD and sold for about $10 each. The theme of this contest is "efficiency." Despite its complexity, Music Contest II has been streamlined to provide you the best contest possible. Friendly competition seems to bring out the best in everyone, and it is my personal hope that you have a lot of fun in this contest. MC2RULES.ZIP is the actual heart of Music Contest ][. In this zip file, you will find everything you need to get you started on composing your entry to the contest, and also the rules on how to become a MC][ voter. This archive also contains a song by yours truly that is an example of how entries should be named, formatted, etc. Both Amiga and PC platforms are encouraged to enter. However, there will be some restrictions on Amiga voters since they can't run the voting software. Despite this fact, I believe that there is enough incentive to make Amiga entries plentiful. In summary, this contest promises to shape the computer music scene, at least in some part, and I hope that you all decide to become a part of the experience. -Snowman/Binary Puppets (April 26th, 1994) [The CD ROM project Snowman mentions is a little bigger then just AUDIO music. That SAME CD will also consist of DEMOS and MC][ related files. I will include a text file about 100+ meg DEMO side of things in a future demonews.--dmw] ---------------------------------- Mike ++++ Hello there, it is Mike here again (and several notes :)) * BATOBA (Back to Basic) - there are several mod-files (8chn), but I didn't notice *any* music during the demo. Does anybody know how to activate it? I didn't find ANY player in unpacked files. Btw: Did you see the file batoba.017 - it's a windows executable (NE - new exe file format), but it doesn't run under Windows 3.1). A little question to authors: what does this file do? (or is it simply a data file :))) * JUKEBOX (old music disk) - approx a year ago my friend noticed a hidden file in this music-disk (there is a note about this written in my calculator since ages, but there has been no free time to write about it yet :)) -> so, here it is: at offset 630903 in jukebox.exe, there is a uuencoded message, so if you know what I'm talking about - decode and read it :)) %%%%%%%%%%%% MAILING LIST %%%%%%%%%%%% Want to receive DEMONEWS.xxx and/or TOP25DL via E-mail?
