Welcome!


The Genesis Network would like to welcome you as a  new  subscriber  to  our 
Daily News Service.  Here are a few pointers.  


The  daily  news packet "DAILYNWS.ZIP" can be file requested from our system 
each morning beginning at 1:15am Pacific time.  (Sacramento System)

For those of you who do not utilize the Fido Networking  system,  the  Daily 
News  Packet  is  ready  for download each morning between 1:30am and 2:00am 
Pacific time.  The packet can also be retrieved anytime after 3:00am Pacific 
time. To download the daily news packet you must first set up and account on 
the  Genesis  Network.   This  will  be  arranged  just  as  soon  as   your 
subscription takes affect.  

For File requesting,  the daily news packet will be  ready  on  our  Chicago 
system during Zone Mail Hours, (3-4:00am CST).  To access the Chicago system 
for  direct  download,  the  Daily  News  Packet will be ready after 4:00am, 
Chicago time.
  
The same hours are used for our San Antonio System as San Antonio is also in 
Central Time.  

Also,  Beginning April 1st,  1994 the Daily News Packet may be obtained from 
our  system  in St.  Louis.  Times for retrieval are the same as Chicago and 
San Antonio as St. Louis is in CST as well.  

The numbers to call for access to our Sysop Services System are as follows:

Sacramento:   (916) 965-9361
San Antonio:  (210) 661-4145
Chicago:      (312) 525-0629 0639

Each daily news packet will contain ascii files with an .ASC extension.  All 
filenames remain constant making it easy to automate your daily updating.  

Not  every  category will be in each day's packet.  Financial information is 
not available on Sundays and Mondays and days  following  holidays  as  most 
financial establishments are closed on Saturday, Sundays and holidays.  

There are four weekly categories.  These categories will be present in every 
news packet.  This is to benefit new subscribers  who  begin  receiving  the 
news  packet  in between the weekly updates.  Each day these four categories 
will simply overwrite the existing file in  your  directory  with  affecting 
anything.  

Each  news packet will also contain a MENU.ANS and MENU.ASC file.  These are 
menus which can be used to display the news. They are provided as a courtesy 
and may be used if you so desire.
