Usenet newsgroup comp.archives.msdos.announce

The CAM.announce newsgroup was created the 15th of December 1992. It has the following clarified charter which gives it purpose.

This moderated newsgroup is for the upload announcements and related information from MS-DOS archive sites (also called FTP sites) with Public Domain, Freeware and Shareware material. The subjects include the upload announcements via the MS-DOS FTP site moderators, the MS-DOS sites' periodical summaries, potential policy statements and downtime warnings, and the MS-DOS FTP site moderators' reports about the connectivity problems with their archive sites. Unix announcements conform only if they directly relate to transferring or handling the MS-DOS material from the MS-DOS FTP sites.

The purpose of news:comp.archives.msdos.announce is to be a ONE-WAY channel for MS-DOS upload announcements which the moderators handle, and other one-way, occasional information relating to MS-DOS archive sites. The moderators will therefore not be handling users' discussion material, questions, and replies. The unmoderated news:comp.archives.msdos.d newsgroup (see below) will cover that aspect.

All submissions to comp.archives.msdos.announce originating from those not authorized as Co-Moderators or Joined Moderators should be mailed to the "Article submission address" given below, where they will be reviewed and posted by the Principal Moderator of this newsgroup.

Articles from the administrators of all major FTP servers are welcome.
