Subj: REPLY TO MSG #6999 (UPLOADS)

Hi Comet:
 
First I must appolgize for not answering your message sooner but I have been
out of the area since February.  Now as to moving the files from the upload
area into the library... that is a daunting task which I have been avoiding for
three reasons:
 
1) They give non-members some reason to come online and get involved in the
exchange of ideas and programs which may lead to becoming a member and thereby
help to support or defray the cost of keeping this system running.
 
2) Unfortunately the 40 character discription line that TBBS allocates for the
user to discribe their upload is barely enough to wet your appetite let alone
give me any insight into their material, and most people don't supply any
documentation.
 
3) A lot of the material in the upload area is redundant of what is already in
the library and some of it isn't even program material.
 
Now, having said all that if you find a program in the upload area that you
feel should be included in the library please let me know!  I can use all the
help I can get when it comes to program reviews because frankly the upload area
has grown too large and my spare time too short to process each and every
upload.  -=Robert=-
