It is produced at the Internet FTP site ftp.eng.ufl.edu (aka WASP or HORNET). This newsletter focuses on all aspects of demos and demo-making (including music, art, and coding). There are currently three active demo-operators at this site: Dan Wright (Pallbearer) - GENERAL - dmw@eng.ufl.edu Christopher G. Mann (Snowman) - MUSIC - r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu Mike - GENERAL - weis@elf.stuba.sk Jason (Cavalier) - ANSI - cavalier@shadow.net This site is mirrored by the following ftps: ftp.uwp.edu ftp.luth.se ftp.sun.ac.za ftp.uni-erlangen.de ftp.uni-paderborn.de ftp.cdrom.com SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THIS "NEWSLETTER" can be obtained by mailing:] listserver@oliver.sun.ac.za and putting "subscribe demuan-list your_real_name" in your message. ============================================================================== ((Section 2...General)) ============================================================================== SPACE We are still low on space...in case you were wondering this effects only ftp.eng.ufl.edu where uploads are found. In fact, in my root account I have only 100k of space...and that is the same drive about 60 other people use :). It is kind of weird we have these problems as UF has TONS of money...and with the football team doing REAL well they are bringing in $$$ every week. Who knows where all the money goes...I don't and never did. The University is like big government-- it takes forever to get what you need. Why try to understand. I just hope they don't want to kill us (390megs) to free up some space when hundred dollar bills are growing on trees outside. To read DemoNews/HTML you will need Lynx/Mosaic/XMosaic/whatever...

Lots of .s3m uploads. You may see a nice review of Mod-4-Windows in here in the next couple of weeks. The author has offered me a pre-release version, and I look forward to using it. We ran out of space AGAIN this week! As a result, we are going to have to shift this site from being a storehouse of ALL demos/music to a place where the most current ones can be found. Your music disks and songs will probably be gone about 2 weeks after you upload them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MUSIC CONTEST 2 UPDATE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Music Contest ][ is completely and totally over. I sent out all but one of the prizes to the winners this past Tuesday, and the final prize today (Saturday). Closing letters have been sent to all coordinators, sysops, judges, and people interested in the contest. All MC][ entries can be found under /music/MC2/entries. This directory is completely ready for transfer onto the Escape CD. As per multiple requests, I have copied mc2final.zip to the /music/MC2 directory. This way, our mirror sites can pick it up. ============================================================================== ((Section 5...Code Articles by Snowman)) ============================================================================== Hello everybody! This is the first week for Code articles. I have taken yet another responsibility; organizing the source on this site. To start, I have made the /code directory. All new files will be put in there. Also, the /code directory will be divided up into /graph (graphics files), /music (music source code), /hardware (mouse, keyboard routines), etc. This will be much better (IMO) than having everything just thrown together like it is now. Also, the files from /programming will slowly be moved to the /code directory. By the time they get there, they will ALL have .txt descriptions telling what they are. This should help. I could use a little input on what kind of changes you'd like, so please drop me a note at r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu. ============================================================================== ((Section 6...ESCAPE Demo/Music CD)) ============================================================================== Check /pub/msdos/demos/incoming/democd for UPDATES and information. (i.e. More information, cost, how to get the DEMO/MC][ CD) Snowman: The audio portion of the Escape CD was recorded this past Friday. Everything seemed to go ok. The tape was sent to Dan Wright on Saturday morning, and should arrive early next week. Pallbearer: The DATA and ART portion of the CD are moving at a snails pace--sad to say. Printing four color is a whole new ball game to me--this along with our lack of submissions is causing our bottle neck. I have all or most of the DATA on my hard drive ready to be organized and documented. I will release a "filelist.txt" to the /democd directory this week so you know what will be on the DEMO/MUSIC CD. It looks like around 210 megs of demos, MC][ stuff, and another 5-10 megs of misc stuff for a total of around 230 megs. The music portion of the CD is expected to take up 47-48 minutes. We will probabably end up using 90-100% of the CD's allocated space. I am shooting for a MID October release but a more realistic date would be late October because printing takes 2 weeks when we DELIVER it and we have not even done the SCREENS. ============================================================================== ((Section 7...Advertisements)) ============================================================================== From aiy@mundil.cs.mu.OZ.AU Tue Sep 27 20:00:39 1994 ANSI BBS AD for a BBS in the land DOWN UNDER!
