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 four 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 --> DOWN lately due to hard drive problem.
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.
The listserver is what sends out this newsletter every SUNDAY morning.
kimba@it.com.au is the keeper of the listserver.

(OUT OF SPACE) - A review of system resources on Hornet by Snowman

Kbytes Directory
------- --------------------
315 ./news
8151 ./incoming/music/hmw - We can NOT move this music because it is under
2186 ./misc a user-made directory under /incoming. Once
394 ./code again, it is EXTREMELY difficult to change
179368 ./alpha these files.

Here are some thoughts on our lack of space:
-We don't have enough of it
-Even if we deleted ALL ansi, it would only free up 26 Megs
-We have a HUGE >20 Meg old version of Emacs off of our root
directory that we can't get rid of
-Programming source takes up very little, so we can have more
-Music disks take up WAY too much space, so we will have less
You've heard us bitch and bitch about how we don't have enough space. Well,
the above statistics should explain.
I have found that ftp.uwp.edu does an excellent job of mirroring our site,
so if you want a file that was on here 3 months ago, chances are good that
they will have it. In addition, I get a faster transfer rate from this site.
My suggestion to you is: if the file you want can be found on ftp.uwp.edu,
then hop on there and get it. This also will make hornet a bit faster, as
not so many people will be online.
In summary, unless Hornet gets more space online, we will become a CURRENT
site of demos/music/code/ansi as opposed to a STOREHOUSE of all files.
SPACE
We will probably delete some older demos to help reduce our space problems.
If you are interested in older demos I recommend getting some before they
get deleted in the coming weeks without notice. Of course BBS's and
the ftp.mpoli.fi site may carry what we delete so all is not lost.
