                        ARGUS Distibution Network Policy
                           Revised March 12, 1998

Purpose/History:

        The purpose of the Argus Distribution Network is to foster support
        for Argus FTN Mailer Software which is Windows 95/NT based and offers
        normal Dial Up as well as TCP/IP connections.  The author of ARGUS
        (Max Masyutin) has created an Fidonet FTN mailer that can now
        interface FidoNet with the Internet. Max Masyutin is located in
        Russia and has been very supportive of suggestions by users of his
        software.  Sean Rima in England and Damien Sam in Canada decided
        to get together and link as much of the world as possible to
        facilitate the distribution of ARGUS to the rest of the world via
        their local FDN for ARGUS. With ARGUS drawing more support and other
        software developers now attempting the same ideas, it was time for
        us to put ARGUS on the Fidonet Backbone, Planet Connect, SPW.
        We all successfully lobbied for the ARGUS echo to be added to the
        backbone and henceforth, the filebone was our next goal.

Policies:

        Our policy is a simple one, to distribute ARGUS related software to
        FDN HQ, for further distribution down the links.  All related
        software would be hatched out via our main HQ for evaluation, then
        subsequently distributed up and downstream.  You may establish a link
        to the FDN by contacting your local FDN Hub, or via direct link to
        FDN HQ or our HQ. ADN must be available to users at no cost.  The
        software must be made freely available.  All files will be
        distributed thru proper channels in order to avoid duplicity.
        Damien Sam, Sean Rima and Max Masyutin and other specific individuals
        whom we designate will be the only ones to hatch files to the Filegate
        HQ thru proper channels.
