(Continued from previous message)
  6.  Personal messages, chit chat and nonsense are not permitted.
      Individual thank you messages are personal, and should be sent by
      NetMail.
  7.  Encrypted and rotated messages are forbidden.
  8.  Files encoded using UUENCODE, or Bryan Smith's BIN2BAT.COM are
      allowed here, providing they meet the following criteria:
        a. They take up no more than one message of 125 lines or less.
           This is to ensure that we don't get truncated versions.
        b. They are of general interest to CLIPPER programmers.
        c. They are unable to be sent through the echo in any other way.
           This means no .PRG files are to be sent using this method.
        d. A description is included, either in the message with the
           encoded file itself or in the message immediately preceding
           or following it.
        e. You explain which method of encoding was used.
        f. You do NOT mention the word encryption.
  9.  All messages in this echo are considered public domain.
      Be aware that when you post copyrighted code that you wrote, it
      will be assumed to have been donated to the public domain.
      It would be best if you specifically donate your posted code to
      public domain in the same message that you post it in.
      You may be violating international copyright laws if you post
      copyrighted code that is not your own.
  10. Please try to keep the quoted portions of your messages SHORT.
      Excessive quoting adds to expense and overhead. Quote just enough
      to identify the thread of the conversation for other users.
  11. Keep the Topic lines current. If your message content has wandered
      from the original topic, please enter a new Topic line.
  12. Posting of test messages or BBS ads will be considered annoying
      behavior.
      It is always appropriate to respond to a request for a particular
      type or name of CLIPPER related file.
      Except for the Moderator(s), it is never appropriate to respond in
      the echo to a test message. When a person posts a request for a
      response because they don't believe they have an echo connection,
      the Moderator and/or Co-Moderator shall respond with a brief
      reply. We understand that not all people have NetMail priveleges
      and a timely response in the echo is not only courteous, but
      should eliminate the need for others to post responses. Please, if
      you feel it is your duty to respond to test messages, do it in
      Netmail.
  13. Advertising is not permitted or tolerated. PERIOD!
      This means you may not advertise your shareware applications here,
      even if they are only useful to CLIPPER users.
  14. For Sale ads of anything are off topic. No exceptions. Please use
      one of the many FORSALE echoes to sell or find your bargains.
  15. The use of visible ASCII (control) characters ASCII 31 and below
      is prohibited in this echo. Use of eight bit characters above 127
      will be permitted, subject to the following restriction:
      No use of ANY characters to create "cutesy" quote boxes,
      multi-line signatures, nor for purely decorative purposes in
      messages.
      You may create a short _PLAIN_TEXT_ signature that includes your
      internet address as well as your FIDO address, et al. This can be
      a maximum of three lines of text.
      The only exception to this rule is by use of the moderator to call
      attention to an important item, such as the box at the top of the
      CLIPPER echo rules, which is not solely decorative, but is used to
      gain the attention of all readers.
  16. No aliases are allowed in this conference. Use your real name.
  17. PGP keys and clear signed messages are allowed.
  18. The Moderators reserve the right to take part in any discussions
      on the echo, without regard to their status as Moderator.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                 3. Porting, Cross Posting and Collecting.
  1.  This conference MAY NOT be ported to the BIX echo mail system,
      CompuServe or to any other network's mail system without the
      express written permission of the Moderator.
