Ultrasound Internet Archive News - New Files Validated - May 26th, 94
Rody Bagtes
though some people argue "GUS blah blah blah", there's one thing for
sure, no soundcard can match the GUS' grassroots support!
Thanks to all, and to all, Happy GUSsing,
Rody.

Did I say it'd take 24 hours? Well, it may take a bit longer as far as
wuarchive is concerned. Our archive has grown SO BIG that wuarchive has
ran out of room. Some of you have already noticed that I've only been
able to upload half of the new files to wuarchive.
No worr's, Mate. I'm talking to the wuarchive people as we speak. So
we'll see where we go from here.
NOTE.... some of you might have gotten the wrong impression from my last
posting that I'm hoping the amount of GUS support slow down. This is not
true. In fact, I am happy to see GUS getting as popular as it has, and
getting all this support. No other soundcard has gotten as much
response as the GUS on the net, in BBS land, shareware and public domain
and of course in the world of demos. Our archives are getting more and
more support from more and more people by the minute, with
contributions, starting up and maintaining more and more GUS related
FAQs, newsletters, GUI info/digests, more things than I can name. Just
look into our .../info and .../misc directory so see all the time that
people around the world are spending in helping others and providing
info for others. And these are all volunteers working on their own time.
So even though we have yet to acknowldege our volunteers and all those
who has supported the GUS, I think it's due time we did...
3 CHEERS for all that's spend their own time in support of the GUS!
Never have we seen such response from everyone around the world. Not
even in other newsgroups relating to other areas (well, perhaps the MS
windows group do have a similar level of response). Thanks to all the
programmers, FAQ maintainers, newsletter maintainers, digest
maintainers, DEMOers, tech support q&a people..... thanks to you all!
Keep up all the good work! I'll try to keep adding to our list of
services, finding more and more services. So if you have any suggestions
or have services you'd like to volunteer, please let me know.
Happy GUSing to all!
Thomas.

Hello all. I've finally finished validating new files for the GUS
Internet Archives for Thursday, May 27th, 1994.
Sorry it took so long. Going through 72Mb of files took longer than I
expected. I shouldn't have waited this long but I was not available for a
month or so. And yes, once again, the amount of contributions per month
have exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to see 72Mb of files in
less than 2 months. I'm both delighted to see GUS's support growing
faster and faster, and yet dismayed at the growing amount of work that
goes along with such growth in popularity. :)
Back to the business at hand.....
NOTE TO ALL UPLOADERS!
======================
To all who are trying to upload more files to EPAS, yes, we have once
again ran out of room. Anyone want to donate a 100 Gig drive to the
cause? :) I'm only kidding of course, the donation part. But I am caught
speechless as far as the growth of popularity and support is concerned.
For those who have been following our archive threw the last several
years, the growth of GUS file submissions have exceeded our predictions
time and time again. In fact, so much so that we have reached the limits
of EPAS time and time again. During our last round of reconfiguration,
we have already limited and defined EPAS as the submission and newly
validated files site only. That indeed did gave us room to spare. But
now we're getting 70+MB per validation period. And in fact, over the
past 2 weeks while I'm validating the current batch of files, I've
noticed that we now have a new batch of files all of 40Mb worth already.
Eeks! Now notice that EPAS is the only site with such limitations. All
other GUS Internet Archives have the full archive. And even those sites,
we'll probably be looking at how many megs (gigs?) a full archive does
take up and might need to cutback the older files in another couple of
years time, if our submissions are mushrooming the way it is right now.
But anyway, back to EPAS. We are looking at clearing more room. So no
worries, mate. But I'll probably have to get onto validating the next
batch of files sooner than I'd wanted to. ie. probably in about a week
or so. So if you are the type that like to grab files from EPAS so that
you can do a "mget *" for newly validated files only, grab them within a
week cause these files will probably be deleted and be replaced by the
next batch of files. So that I can clear up even more room from EPAS.
NOTES TO ALL:
=============
The newly validated files are now in EPAS in their appropriate
directories. Please give the rest of the GUS Internet Archive sites 24
hours to get updated.
If you catch any mistakes and/or typos, please let me know!
Thanks. <tw...@civil.ubc.ca>
NOTE: Because of the disk full problem, the file "tecnovox.zip"
in ".../sound/wav/files" was not copied correctly. This should be
resolved by the morning. Otherwise, you can still grab this file from
the mirror of the submit directory from the other (non EPAS) sites.
Here is the validation list:

SPECIAL NOTES TO ALL UPLOADERS:
-------------------------------
I've noticed that someone has been fooling around with the files in
the submit directory again. We are in the process of tracking down the
[fill in your favorite swear word] since all activities are logged!
It took me 2 weeks to go through and try out all the files. But by
the end of these 2 weeks, a number of the files I was testing were
already gone. Remember, WE WILL TRACK YOU DOWN. And you WILL BE
REPORTED. We left read and write access in the submit directory for
everyone's convenience. If you abuse this privilege, we won't be too
kind to you, nor will other users of our archives.
To all uploaders, please continue to upload to the submit directory
so that people can get access to your files before I've had a chance
to validate them. But should you find that your upload is not listed
anywhere above while you have uploaded the file before I started my
validation (ref. my validation commencement annoucement). Please send
me an email and let me know. I'll personally take care of your file.
Thanks.
NEW SUBDIRECTORIES:
-------------------
Due to the popularity of several new sound formats, the following
subdirectories have been newly created:
.../sound/far/files
.../sound/far/util
.../sound/mtm/files
.../sound/mtm/util
.../sound/s3m/files
.../sound/s3m/util
.../sound/ult/files
.../sound/ult/util
I'm still in the processes of moving some of the older files from
.../sound/misc into these newly created directories. Please bear with
me.
Misc Notes to uploaders:
------------------------
awe32*.* - nothing to do with GUS. This is the GUS archive.
doommenu2.zip, doomld2.zip - Nothing to do with GUS
gusmag.zip - already have it with name uss0001.zip under .../misc
lha.exe - these utils can be found in other parts of our ftp sites
musicbox.zip - doesn't work with GUS, and not for GUS anyway
okjuke.zip - Not a GUS program
pongkomb.zip - Not a GUS game
splay100.zip - Not a GUS program
tss.zip - doesn't work. Blank screen and crashes
ult.* - Can't play since these files need UltraTracker 1.5 but the only
version available at our site and in other sites is 1.4
Files that are corrupt and needs to be re-uploaded:
cyberp.zip, mcosm11.exe, mfdeep.zip, zakfov10.zip
OK, that's it. I'll cut this short cause I still of tons to do.
Happy GUS'ing!
Thomas.
