% introduction and like stuff (ack)

welcome   to  demonic  productionz'  fith   pack, 11/97,  yawn,  so
it's been four months, hah, hope you enjoyed being without us, yeah
we  took  the two  months  that  school tends  to start  killing us
on (8/9) off, so i guess we're kinda on time (?). but anyways, this
is just your  average pack, alot  of slacking latly from all of us,
so nothing eventful released.

wow, we  were alittle late again this month, (i love starting every
pack with this..) but because of our vacation it took awhile to get
our asses in gear and start doing good work again, anyways, once we
did i still hadn't decided on a release  date, and when i did, dark
entity managed to delay  it by another 4 days... again.. but he did
release so i can't lay it on him to hard. anyways, we're just a few
days off our  release date, so who cares.. we're here, go check the
release...

another new policy in effect, this time concerning members, yes, it
has been  decided  that  all non-releasers will be kicked, you must
release the pack of  the pack after you were  accepted and you must
continue  to release at  least everyother  pack. seniors  can avoid
this if they stay in contact with me, but  we've  already got a few
in the  grey. so, effective  next pack, anyone  in dark grey on the
meberlist  must  release  or  be   kicked, no  matter who  you are.
hopefully  this  will  clear  the  way  for  the  large  amount  of
reorganizing natedogg and i are doing.

our ftp site  was recently  cleared of the bbs softwares, hopefully
we'll have an even bigger and more active ftp site once i get a few
things  together. for  now though,  releases  and source  are still
available there.

our seperate release policy is still, as always in effect, seperate
releases too big to but in the  pack (bbs softs, misc programs, bbs
setups, ect) are availible  from our dist sites and our ftp...

i'll make  this part  nice and  short, the orgin of demonic.  being
genuinly fed up with modding after the deaths of just  about all my
old  affils  (tric, fsw, px, ts, sin, ta) i  decided to take up  my
own group (well, it was a nifty idea at the time) so i  decided  to
draft  some of my friends from  previous groups, i  mean, people  i
knew farily well and liked the work of.  at first i didn't get much
support,  but  eventually  (ie: after the  death of  most of  their
groups  and having nothing  better to do) we all got  together, the
final  step in my  grand scheme was  to actually set a release date
and then pester  the hell  out of them for their  work (this worked
fairly well in  most cases) a few odd  members joined (i don't know
where they came from but i'm not complaining) and here we are.

that wasn't short damnit...

% member info and other equally unimportant news

senior  members... menelaus has rejoined us and moved up to rg head
simply because he rocks, jandor has joined us and moved up to obv/2
head. defcon4 was dropped due to  inactivity and lack  of time, and
chrom replaced him as pcboard head. we have  several slots open now

work  this  month...  things  to  check  out  this pack, natedogg's
xdoor door kit, version 2.00, a few bugfixes, etc. my check ipx for
iniquity's  source code,  which should  be a good treat for some of
you, no names mentioned though. alot of other source code and doors
even some itc and pcb shit this month, so go take a look.
new  members.. menealus of course joined, as i already mentiond, as
well as jandor, who will be doing obv/2 and wwiv stuff, also morb1d
was drafted into releasing some crap for us, and dischord joins our
pcboard department. smoke and keetar join to do alittle art for us,
gehenna joins to mod rg, and kers joins to mod instinct for us.

spasm are both going on idle for awhile. tryzix and jm were dropped
due to inactivity.

we kept mhz's  file.lst header, and filth's good old nfo header for
this pack, diz by keetar.
