You of all people should know the limits of advertizing on the DDN (ARPANet for the uninitiated). This same issue was raised a few years ago on both Info-Vax and Info-Micro. So long as the material is getting piped through a gateway to the DDN, there are severe limitations on what can be "advertized". Besides, why should Ohio or Uncle Sam subsidize the advertizing budget of Stardent (or anyone else for that matter)???

I did not find a way to get rid of them, but i think it is possible to keep this forum clean from such commercial ads. My suggestion is that those people who want to present their commercially available products create a separate forum, clearly marked as "information" for commercial software and alike. I do not know if there are legal allowances for a commercial listing on ARPA and other nets. If no, then i find it ridiculous that the CHEMISTRY@OSC exchange of information is used to circumvent these regulations.

Phys. Commun.) Program Library in Belfast and QCPE exist because they charge for shippng and handling. If they could not collect even these small revenues, I doubt, if they could survive. So they do not have to my knowledge any anonymous ftp services. To get more information about CPC contact last pages of Comput. Phys. Commun. journal. You can also reach them by e-mail: CPC@vax1.app-maths.queens-belfast.ac.uk The QCPE can be reached by e-mail: COUNTSR@IUBACS.BITNET They recently changed the address: QCPE Creative Arts Bldg. 181 Indiana University 840 State Hwy. 46 Bypass Bloomington, IN 47405 Jan Labanowski Ohio Supercomputer Ctr jkl@ccl.net --- From chemistry-request@ccl.net Mon Feb 11 12:36:07 1991 Date: Mon, 11 Feb 91 08:48:53 EST From: lfk@eastman1.MIT.EDU To: jle@stardent.com, chemistry@ccl.net Status: RO On Mon, 11 Feb 91 02:21:59 GMT, jle@stardent.com (Joe Leonard) said: > Would it not be reasonable for new products to be announced over the net > via a brief notice, with an indication of what to do or how to followup > to get additional information?

Yes it is reasonable to provide a forum for announcing new products on the net. This was recognnized quite some time ago on usenet and they have provided a news group call comp.new.prod. The problem with an advertisment being posted to a mailing list is that the recipients do not have the choice whether to read the thing or not. I myself would vote for impartial reviews of software. It might work like this: 1) Company X calls up a respected comp. chemist and asks if they would look at their product. 2) Respected Comp. Chemist reviews the software 3) A review of the software gets posted to this group along with the relevant ordering information Just a notion.
