I uploaded a program yesterday (06-08-92) and I don't see it in the lib. Whats usually the procedure for new uploads? I'm new at that part of the game.

Tom, It normally takes about 24 hours for the file to be checked for functionality and virii before it's made public.

Tom, It takes a day or two for the sysops to have time to test the uploads and make sure they are OK to make public. Then, after checking, there is another wait until the proper time of day when CIS makes the released programs public. They try to do this at the time when the fewest possible number of people are using the system, because it is rather disk intensive and could cause slowdowns for users if it were done at really busy times. So – it usually takes from one to three days between upload and seeing the file in the libraries. Betty
