1814.0. "Maybe an on-line software library" by HARDLY::ELLISM () Tue Oct 25 1988 21:00

    I may be able to offer a space for storing software on-line on a
    permanent basis, and keep it as the permanent AMIGA software library.
    Obviously PD will only be acceptable. I will make the library available
    for anyone to copy from and copy to. All I will require is that
    a mail be sent telling me what you have copied in, and what it does,
    etc....this would enable me to maintain the library (old versions,etc)
    
    If enough people are interested, I'll post a reply when it is set
    up. I will not put anything in there to begin with....it'll be all
    up to you.

1814.1You may need this sanity check...ANT::GERBERRobert GerberWed Oct 26 1988 13:495
    You probably want to set up a directory structure with directories
    for DEMOS, GAMES, UTILITIES, MUSIC, GRAPHICS, ... all of these
    readonly, and one directory called NEW or UPLOAD for people to copy
    into,  this way you could see new stuff, as well as making sure
    someone doesn't accidentally cause any problems...
1814.2go for it!!!!GLDOA::STOUGHTONINSTALLS-R-USThu Nov 03 1988 17:442
    This sounds like a good idea to me!!!!
    
1814.3on-line library is hereHARDLY::ELLISMThu Nov 03 1988 20:2232
    O.K.
    
    I've created the structure as follows
    
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[demos]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[GAMES]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[UTILITIES]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[MUSIC]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[GRAPHICS]
    
    These directories all have w:re protection, which is the default
    for any files copied into them.
    
    If you want to send any software the directory is
    
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]
                                                                 
    This directory is W:RWE protection.                          
    
    If anyone has any ideas for other directories please mail me.
    
    To enter anything in the library, copy the kit to the UPLOAD directory,
    and send me a mail with a brief decsription of what is in the kit,
    what version it is, if relevant, and what format it is in (.UUE
    .ARC .ZOO, etc)
    
    I'll try to regularly post a reply to give an update on what is
    in the directories.
    
    Enjoy

    	This seems to duplicate the archive we already have on
    
    		TAPE::USER1:[amiga...]
    
    but I am willing to copy over what we have. We will continue to
    support the TAPE archive. The archive currently requires 100,000
    blocks of disk space. When I get the new FF disk upload working
    the total space will reach 250,000 blocks. Do you have the
    space ??

    I have an entire RA81 at our disposal!
    
    If it would make it easier for you I can give you access so that 
    you can put stuff straight into the correct areas. As you already 
    run a library, you should know what should go where.

    re: .4
    
    Is there a way to see what goodies TAPE::USER1:[AMIGA..] holds?

1814.7re.6 did you try the Directory command?ALAZIF::WHERRYThu Nov 10 1988 13:2716
    
    Have you tried :
    
    $dir tape::user1:[amiga...]
    
    ????????????
    
    Seems to work for me, of course I only have to type user1:[amiga...]!!
    :-)
    
    As soon as I can get to it, I will be building a TK50 with all of
    the stuff from TAPE:: and that will be shipped to "the across the
    pond archive"...courtesy of Martin Ellis.

    Did you get AmigaDEX off PLINK, Ed?
1814.10LEDS::ACCIARDIInsert witty anti-Dukakis slogan here - Tue Nov 29 1988 15:015
    
    Yup.  By the way, I've moved note 1814.8 over to #1872, which is
    a better location for file descriptions etc.
