This file will detail all of the official Online Support Forums/areas that
|
|
Apogee & 3D Realms have. There have been a lot of changes regarding online
|
|
support with us recently, and wanted to make sure that everyone has the
|
|
current and correct information!
|
|
|
|
1) Software Creations / Software Creations Web BBS
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
Regular Dial-Up Phone Lines:
|
|
|
|
(508) 368-7036 2400 - 14.4k (Public Access)
|
|
(508) 368-6604 14.4k - 28.8k (Public Access)
|
|
(508) 368-7139 2400 - 14.4k (Member Access)
|
|
(508) 368-3424 14.4k - 28.8k (Member Access)
|
|
|
|
You can also access the BBS if you have Telnet access on the Internet
|
|
by telnetting to 'bbs.swcbbs.com'.
|
|
|
|
There is a list of the 3,500 or so nodes in the Apogee/3D Realms File
|
|
Distribution Network. Once you log onto Software Creations, take a look
|
|
at Bulletin #16, which contains a list of all of them.
|
|
|
|
You can acess the "Software Creations Web BBS" on the World Wide Web
|
|
by pointing your Web Browser to 'http://www.swcbbs.com'. This is not
|
|
the same thing as the regular DOS based BBS. Software Creations and
|
|
the Software Creations Web BBS are two seperate things.
|
|
|
|
Apogee & 3D Realms files are free downloads. In other words, you do not
|
|
have to subscribe to the BBS to download them. However, if you're
|
|
interested in other files, you should ask the SysOp of Software Creations
|
|
(not Joe Siegler) for more information.
|
|
|
|
2) CompuServe
|
|
----------
|
|
Apogee & 3D Realms have their own forum on CompuServe as of Aug 10, 1995.
|
|
It is accessible by typing 'GO APOGEE' or 'GO REALMS' at any ! prompt.
|
|
All of our shareware, patches, and slide shows are available here, plus
|
|
there are libraries of user submitted files as well.
|
|
|
|
Apogee E-Mail on CIS : 74200,553
|
|
3D Realms E-Mail on CIS: 102052,513
|
|
|
|
In celebration of the opening of this new forum, a file was created that
|
|
has NEW screen shots from Duke3D and Shadow Warrior; upcoming games from
|
|
3D Realms. The file is available with the filename of DNSWSHOT.ZIP.
|
|
|
|
3) America Online
|
|
--------------
|
|
Apogee & 3D Realms have their own forum on America Online. It is accessible
|
|
by using the keywords 'APOGEE' or '3D REALMS'. All of our shareware,
|
|
patches, and slide shows are available here, plus there are libraries of
|
|
user submitted files as well.
|
|
|
|
Apogee E-Mail on AOL : APOGEE
|
|
3D Realms E-Mail on AOL: REALMS999
|
|
|
|
4) The Internet
|
|
------------
|
|
Apogee can be reached at a variety of ways on the Internet. Please be
|
|
careful, as some software servers are case sensitive to these things. :)
|
|
|
|
E-Mail
|
|
======
|
|
Apogee : apogee.software@apogee1.com or apogee@metronet.com
|
|

|
Internet Continued...
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
World Wide Web
|
|
==============
|
|
Both Apogee & 3D Realms can be reached by pointing your Web Browser to
|
|
'http://www.swcbbs.com'. (without the ' signs) This URL is technically the
|
|
Software Creations Web BBS. Once you get to that, log into the Web BBS,
|
|
and from the Main Menu, pick "Home Board Author Web Pages", and there we
|
|
are! While you're there, make sure to check out the ground breaking
|
|
Software Creations Web BBS.
|
|
|
|
Anonymous FTP
|
|
=============
|
|
Apogee: The site is ftp.uml.edu and the directory is /msdos/games/apogee
|
|
Realms: The site is ftp.uml.edu and the directory is /msdos/games/3drealms
|
|
|
|
These are standard Anonymous FTP sites. These are not run by Apogee, they
|
|
are run by the university of Massachussets at Lowell. If you have trouble
|
|
getting in, you'll need to either ask the site manager there, or ask the
|
|
person who wrote your FTP software, or your Internet Service Provider.
|
|
Apogee cannot help with trouble with the FTP site. However, it's most
|
|
likely the FTP site is just full, or is temporarily down. Try again
|
|
later if you have problems.
|
|
|
|
Usenet News
|
|
===========
|
|
Apogee & 3D Realms monitor the following conferences for activity.
|
|
|
|
alt.games.apogee
|
|
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.misc
|
|
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action
|
|
|
|
We also read others, and you might catch some of us out in some of the
|
|
programming groups, but these are always monitored, but if you have
|
|
trouble, you can always send E-Mail, too.
|
|
|
|
Apogee/3D Realms Mailing List
|
|
=============================
|
|
The Apogee/3D Realms mailing list is a list where press releases, general
|
|
info, new game release notifications, and other miscelleanous items are
|
|
sent out on. There is no regular release date on it, it happens from time
|
|
to time. Usually only when we release something, but that's not the rule.
|
|
If you have Internet E-Mail access, send me E-Mail at this E-Mail address:
|
|
"apogee.software@apogee1.com", and ask to be put on the Internet Mailing
|
|
List. There is no charge for this service.
|
|
|
|
5) BBS Networks
|
|
============
|
|
Apogee has support conferences on several major BBS Networks that we read
|
|
and answer messages on. 3D Realms support is also done in the same
|
|
conferences. You can reach us on:
|
|
|
|
Fidonet -> Apogee, Gaming, Shareware, & Shareware Support Confs
|
|
Relaynet (Rime) -> Apogee, Games, and Shareware Conferences
|
|
Intelec -> Apogee, Games, and Shareware Conferences
|
|
ILink -> Apogee, PC Games, and Shareware Conferences
|
|
U'NI-Net -> Apogee, PC Games, and Shareware Conferences
|
|
|
|
Private messages can be sent via Fido Netmail at 1:124/9006.
|
|
Private messages can be send via routed Rime Mail to 1674 or APOGEE.
|
|
|
|
If you are on Fidonet, and carry the Filebone, you can get Apogee files
|
|
from the Filebone! Grab a current copy of FILEBONE.NA, and look up the
|
|
Apogee FDN for more information regarding the Apogee/3D Realms file areas
|
|
available on the Apogee FDN. Contact your local Fidonet administration
|
|
for more info on getting these files.
