Hello all!

I thought I'd take this opportunity to formally introduce the electronic
publishing file distribution network to the fidonet community.  THough an
article about it authored by yours truly was published in fidonews many may
not have seen it.

so far the only traffic in this file echo has been that which I generated
myself.  Obviously, we're looking for contributions from the sysops  and
users out there in fidoland.  You can
see epsubmit.zip from the administrative area, ep-adm for
complete guidelines on file submissions.

AS you peruse the submission guidelines you'll note that I will not release
pdf files into any of the ep-fdn echoes.  there is no way that I can
guarantee the legality of hatching such files, therefore I won't take pdf
files for distribution under any circumstances.  Another willing soul out
there might wish to start an fdn or two for materials in pdf format. 
However, ep-fdn cannot accept pdf files for distribution.  I have no way of
reading them even were I to acquire acrobat reader for linux due to some
technical barriers related to blindness and inherent in the pdf format
itself.

AS we must not violate international copyright rules and the various laws
governing intellectual property throughout the world we ask that you read
and comply with the submission guidelines contained in epsubmit.zip.  IF
there is a problem complying with them but you feel that a book or
periodical would be of interest to the fido community, and it can be
legally distributed in this manner
 contact me and we'll see what can be worked out.

Regards,
           Richard
