   1. The topic in this conference is the terminal program Terminate
      and/or utilities related to the that program, including 3rd Party
      developed programs which directly support or enhance the use of
      Terminate.

   2. The use of the term "Terminate" within this conference is
      restricted to defining a certain terminal program, the author of
      which is Bo Bendtsen. Said program being commonly referred
      to and properly named: Terminate

      Any other use, form of discussion, or reference to the term
      "Terminate" is strictly forbidden, being limited to discussion(s)
      of ONLY that specified program authored by Bo Bendtsen.

   3. This is an International Support Conference. All correspondence must
      be in English. Commercial business inquiries, support, questions,
      items for-sale, and other non-related information should be handled
      via Crash NetMail or other media as indicated by the commercial
      distributors.

   4. Terminate "feature" announcements, inquiries, and the general
      discussion of Terminate and/or related 3rd Party developed
      software as defined above, to include program technical assistance
      by others from within the conference, are welcome.

   5. Additional Gating of this conference into any network beyond
      FidoNet is not permitted without written permission of the
      Moderator and must be accompanied by a written verification of
      Echolist database update before gating is allowed. Request for
      such Gating should be directed to 1:17/23{at}fidonet.

   6. This conference is NOT limited to FidoNet; it is open to any
      network and system that wishes to carry this conference (assuming
      para. 5 is followed). Messages in this conference must conform
      with the FTSC (FidoNet Technical Standards Committee) format and
      must contain both tear and origin lines. The tear line may not be
      longer than 35 characters including the --- characters. The origin
      line must fit on one 80 character wide CRT including the " #
      Origin: " text.

   7. Please keep the amount of quoted text down to the BARE ESSENTIALS.
      Do not quote SEEN-BY and/or " # Origin: " information unless it is
      ABSOLUTELY necessary. One of the biggest costs with distributed
      mail conferences is the use and ABUSE of the quote feature.

   8. Your message must contain sufficient information to allow a Reply
      via NetMail through normal FidoNet distribution channels.

   9. Foul or harsh language is not tolerable and will not be accepted
      as a standard for behavior within this conference. If you do not
      like what someone has to say for personal reasons, send that
      person(s) a reply using NetMail - not EchoMail.

  10. Eight-bit ASCII is not allowed in this conference. All characters
      in displayed message data (text/header) must be in the range 32 to
      126, which rules out control characters. The ONLY exceptions to
      this rule are: if you need to show someone a translation table
      that contains eight-bit ASCII, and/or the default TMAIL "arrow"
      signature style.

  11. File listings and advertisements are not welcome except from
      authorized Terminate dealers, or from the author of Terminate. 3rd
      Party developers whose programs directly support or enhance the
      use of Terminate are specifically excluded from this paragraph.
      Sample files and examples of batch files are welcome as they serve
      a useful and constructive purpose.

  12. Please keep "Thank you" and "This is a test"
messages in NETMAIL,
      where they belong. People are paying a lot of money to
      Import/Export this conference around the world, and if we can keep
      unnecessary overhead down, everyone will be much happier.

  13. Before posting queries and/or questions about problems and their
      solution, please make sure you have read the documentation for the
      program in question. All too frequently, the questions asked can
      be answered by simply reading a few paragraphs in the program's
      documentation.

  14. There is currently one Moderator. Co-Moderators may be assigned as
      needed. If you have a problem with someone, please inform a
      Moderator about it; Do NOT post "Flames", etc. in this
      conference!!

  15. Messages in the Terminat conference are expected to remain "On
      Topic" at ALL times. Messages not related to the actual use of,
      technical support of, or related programs and utilities of,
      Terminate are specifically NOT allowed in this conference.

  16. If any of the official moderators inform you that your message(s)
      are "Off Topic", or request that you take your theme to NetMail,
      please do so.
