==============================================================================
DemoNews is a weekly publication dedicated to the demo scene. 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) - dmw@eng.ufl.edu
Christopher G. Mann (Snowman) - r3cgm@dax.cc.uakron.edu
Mike - weis@elf.stuba.sk
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
If you would like to receive a new copy of Demo News every Sunday in your
mailbox write to dmw@eng.ufl.edu. We delete all bounced mail from this
service, so if you SHOULD BE getting Demo News and ARE NOT, please re-request
this newsletter.

SPACE
We hit our 400Meg limit this week--again. Anyone got a spare GIG hard
drive (SCSI) or $700 they can donate for a worthy cause? Till then I
will continue to bug the Sys Admins for more space...like asking them
to delete some of those 20Meg files in the /pub directory. Chances
are it will not help but it is worth trying...till it backfires and
people start wondering why this stuff called "demos" is located here.

(GENERAL)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone. I start school this week, and I'll have time to spend
at the computer lab, so HORNET may go through some cool new changes. I think
I'm going to experiment with ANSI in some of the directories. We'll see how
this works out. It will depend a lot on your response. Also, the .message
files (that automatically display text when you enter a particular directory)
are going to be standardized, and the /programming directory should be
straightened up too.
A lot of files were deleted this week because they did not have a
text description file. In the future, I plan to delete all uploads that do
not have a .txt file with them. Due to the traffic that goes through HORNET,
it is no longer feasible to search .zip files for these descriptions. Sorry
for the inconvienience.
A couple of you have written me in response to your files being
deleted. Remember, I have no control over this. If you will donate a hard
drive, we can allow files to remain online much longer. Until then, your
uploads have about a month life expectency.
- *Music Contest ][ ends on September 5th, so hurry up and get your entry in!**

MUSIC
