GEnie files

- #979 Re: GEnie files by Brent L. Woods
Ok. Sherry (The woman with the rolling pin) has said ok to me using GEnie
instead of CIS :-( , but I should be getting my Company paidfor account soon.
Here are a few issues that we should address.
1. Do we want binaries posted?
(Example, I have a uuencoded Lotus 1-2-3 Worksheet for making TL-15 ships)
2. Do we want BBS messages posted?
3. Do we want all Library files (new ones as they are uploaded and old ones
as requested) posted or do we want selected ones (directorys posted)?
4. What formats do we want used?
Ex. Subject lines:
Subject: Weekly GEnie directory listing [GEnie]
5. Do we want to Crosspost our messags to them and theirs to ours?
(I vote NO, cost prohibitiave)
6. How often do we want directory listings posted?
7. Should we set up a mail archive site (Software posted to comp.sources.unix
recently) so that anyone on the list could request the files???
8. Who will do this?
Below you will find samples of the things from GEnie.

Not long after I started playing Traveller, I learned to program in BASIC and
set up a number of small programs to help me create star systems and character
and NPCS and animals and anything else I could. I have lists of Vilani names
printed by a program I developed from an article in the JTAS many years ago.
Now, I'm working on a system (in turbo pascal) that will take the sector
data files being uploaded by Joe Fugate run them through the Grand Survey and
Grand Census routines (World Builder once I get it) and store it all in a
binary file for recall at a later date. When you look up that system, it will
have a variety of graphic screens to display and edit the data for that
system.
I also have source code for word generation programs, ect.
I know others of you, using different systems, are programming as well.
Let's use this topic to discuss ways to utilize our computer systems and
upload examples in the library.

I will be finishing up a version of the Vilani word generation program this
weekend (6/4/89) and converting it to Vargr, Aslan, and Zhodani and Droyne
languages. It's written in pascal, so if anyone has a non-IBM computer and
wants the source code let me know.

To Micheal Bay,
I think the source code should be uploaded as a normal course of
procedure unless the person is planning on marketing the software. At least
that's the way I would do it.
