Welcome to the ftp.cco.caltech.edu [131.215.48.49] Apple II Archive Site!

Due to confusion as to the archive's current policy regarding uploaded files,
I am creating this information file to outline the procedure followed with
new uploads.

When a file is placed in the /incoming directory, and I find it, I check it to
make sure it unpacks. I also verify that it has no copyrighted material in it,
and, assuming I have the proper hardware to use it, make sure the files within  
actually work. When I have verified that an archive actually works, I MOVE IT
to the /NEW.FILES directory, and it is also aliased to its proper directory in
the hierarchy (thus, a new graphics program, once verified, would exist in both
/NEW.FILES and /graphics). After 1 month, the file is removed from /NEW.FILES,
and thereafter only exists in its proper directory. 

I try to verify as much of the uploaded material as I can. The only reasons for
deletion of any software uploaded are space considerations, illegality, and
non-working archives. Non-working archives are the most common victims of
deletion, and can be avoided by always uploading in BINARY mode.
