%============================================================================= % FILEBONE.NO Version: 03-03-1997 %============================================================================= % Militantly Public Domain % % Table of Contents % ----------------- % % - Introduction % - Key to Listings % - FDNs *NOT* on the Filebone % - Recent Changes and News % % %============================================================================= % || Introduction || %============================================================================= % % This file is sent out regularly in the FILEBONE file area. This list % contains information only for those File Distribution Nets (FDNs) NOT % carried by the Filebone. % % To find out more about a particular FDN please request the information file % listed for that FDN and/or contact the FDN head. Quite often there are also % related echomail areas available on the Backbone. Many of the FDNs post % notices of newly hatched files in the FILE_REQ echomail area, available on % the Backbone. % % If you are a FDN head and are interested in having your areas either listed % here, or carried by the Filebone, please contact the Filebone Technical % Coordinator, Larry James, 1:105/72. Please supply him with the type of % information you see listed here for each of the FDNs along with estimates of % the number of nodes in your FDN, and the number of bytes of files per month. % % Please send updated listingss to Larry James, 1:105/72. % % Questions concerning this listing, updates, and of course suggestions, % should be sent there as well. % %============================================================================= % || Key to Listings || %============================================================================= % % % The following format is used to describe each of the File Distribution Nets. % % Kywd FileTag Level Flags Description % ---- -------- ---- ----- -------------------------------------------- % Area XYZ_GIF 0 ! XYZ: GIF files for the XYZ program % ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ % COL:1 1 2 2 7 % 6 2 9 8 % % % "Area" - Used by RAID (thanks George!) and similar programs to % denote the beginning of an file area definition. % % FileTag - Name of area that files will be sent under. Similar to an % echomail areatag, but limited to 8 characters or less. % % Level - Security level (0-4096) used to protect this area % % Flags - Access flags (see below) to control who's allowed to feed, % and what type of echo it is. % % Desc - FDN abbreviation followed by a description of the area's % contents. % % There are five types of access flags: % % "!" - Filebone distribution. Areas marked with this flag are carried by % the Filebone and can found at any Filebone Hub site (see below). % % "." - Open distribution. While unrestricted in nature, these areas are % *NOT* distributed by the Filebone. Although many Filebone Hubs do % in fact carry them, you may be forced to find your own feed. % % "*" - Hatching is allowed by *any* node attached to the area. This flag % may be mixed with any of the others. If an area does not contain % this flag, then you may not hatch directly into it. There will % either be a "return channel" provided or you must send your % submission directly to the FDN head or other listed site. % % "&" - Do not send this area to any downlinks. This flag usually % indicates that an area is a "return channel" to be used for % submitting files to a FDN head for distribution. Be sure to % remove it in your TIC.CFG for your uplink *only*. This flag % should only be used in conjunction with the "*" flag. % % ( all ) Restricted distribution. These areas are privately distributed % (others) and are *NOT* carried by the Filebone. You must contact the FDN % head to obtain a feed. % % This format is based on the TIC and RAID programs. Indeed, you can directly % use this file as part of your RAID config file. For example, the following % DOS command could be used to create your new RAID.CFG file from the weekly % FILEBONE.NA file along with prefix and suffix files (RAID.BEG and RAID.END) % containing your personal configuration information: % % Copy RAID.BEG + FILEBONE.NA + RAID.END RAID.CFG % % % % FDN: FISH - Aquarium File Distribution Network % HeadQuarters: James McGrail, 1:203/996 % Info File: AQUANET % User Conferences: AQUARIUM, REEF_KEEPING % On Planet Connect: No % Internet: Yes % Last updated: 12/02/95 % Area AQU_FISH 0 .
