   Hello All!   
      
   AS many of you might know Janis Kracht has shut down here servers so five of   
   us have taken over as Star systems with three in North America, me in Europe   
   and one is Australiasia namely :   
      
   2:250/1 Europe - (Me)       - Vincent Coen   
   3:640/66 Australia          - Terry Roati   
   1:275/100 N.A (Nth America) - Carol Shenkenberger  [ Still being set up ]   
   1:153/7715  N.A.            - Dallas Hinton North America   
   1:3634/12   N.A.            - Mark Lewis   
      
   2:250/1 is acting as master hub / Star for receipt of new files and new areas   
   as well as looking after the file FILEGATE.ZXX and if needed FILEGATE.HDR.   
      
   This location should also be used for notifications of new file groups and   
   areas and any other matters arising for the needs to be able to upload new   
   archived files etc. Including the group or areas being discontinued or being   
   passed over to another or if your node address should be replaced with    
   another.   
      
      
   Some areas was under the control of Janis for distributing files so we will be   
   looking for volunteers to take these over (See last version of FILEGATE.ZXX,   
   but if you do not have one, drop me a netmail and I will send the current one.   
      
      
   (The file FDNINFO.ZIP is extremely out of date and may not be updated).   
      
   2:250/1 is linked to the other Star system in that all new files will be    
   passed   
   on to them in a matter of seconds that to high speed internet connections   
   between us all.   
      
   File that have the FILE_ID.DIZ or file_id.diz must contain the file details    
   but   
   without non character out side the range A - Z, a - z, 0 - 9 period, comma and   
   uplinks contact details etc.  The reason for NOT having special symbols is    
   that   
   many BBS system do not handle such charcters in a even manner making the   
   description in ALLFILES and similar and within a BBS files areas look a mess   
   and some do not like it at all, so please do not do it. Also describing a file   
   as "abcde.ZIP is a what ever etc" it not correct for some systems as they   
   change the archive for one they prefer to use in-house after testing for   
   Viruses etc.   
      
   Mention if this version replaces a previous one and remember if you are   
   supplying a .tic file to include the keyword REPLACE to remove older versions   
   where ever possible as this help to keep BBS systems as clean as practical.   
      
   If the version is a test release then only replace previous test release.   
      
   Yes I know some of this will not apply to all of you but just trying to cover   
   every thing in one netmail   
      
   When contacting me to yourself up etc, please also supply your email address   
   along with your best contact Fido network address if still operational.   
      
   I appreciate that not every one wishes to do the hatching of files so contact   
   me with the details and I will take this on for you if needed.
