I have a friend that has been making an ON DISK animation Magazine for about a year now. He calls it C.A.N. for Computer Animators News. It began very humbly and very simply, but has grown to be rather impressive. He has persons that have made animations, send them to him, and he incorporates them into the disk, along with his own, and mails it out for postage, and a 3-1/2 inch High Density disk. He was wondering if I could upload it here for others to view? I said that I probably could, but I wasn't sure of where to do it. I was also curious if the standard fees apply for uploads as they do for downloads. Any input as to where to upload, how to upload, and anything else pertinent is appreciated. The "Magazine" is compressed and fills one 3-1/2 inch floppy disk. I must also state that 99% of the animations are done in 320 X 200 to conserve space. Even if the animations are originally sent in at 640 X 480 or more, they are reduced to 320 X 200 for space limitation reasons. Thanks; Dennis

Upload time to CIS is free of connect time charges. All new uploads should be directed to library 9, "What's New". After the forum SYSOP has had a chance to verify the file and contents (ie scan for viruses), it will be made available for download. As to "how" to upload, that depends on whether you are using a CIS specific communications program, or a generic one (like ProComm). Dave
