OLGA Archiving Criteria

Dear Submittor,

   In an attempt to improve the quality of files we receive here
   at OLGA, we have introduced new acceptance policies. In
   accordance with these policies, we have to return your file to you
   for the following reason(s):

        ( ) - it is already represented in the Archive. You should combine
		            the existing version(s) with your own, so that the archive
		            will contain a single file only. If you believe
 	           	yours is simply better, please explain this when you
	            	resubmit. However, the archivist may request that you contact
	            	the previous author if that is deemed necessary.
        ( ) - it is taken from a copyrighted book or magazine. Tabs of
		            this sort will NEVER be added to the archive.
	       ( ) - it is not in plain text format. Please submit PLAIN ASCII
		            TEXT files (usually *.txt). When working in a word-processor
		            (such as MSWORD, WordPerfect, MacWrite), be sure to select
	 	          'Save As' and then select 'plain text' format.
        ( ) - it is compressed and/or encoded using a method
              	unreadable by us. This includes BinHex, UUEncoding (MIME),
		             *.ZIP, *.TAR, *.GZ files. In short, ANYTHING which is not
	             	straight text.
	       ( ) - it contains high ASCII characters which look ugly and can
                disrupt the file spacing by knocing the lyrics out of 
                alignment with the chords.
        ( ) - it has problems with its layout. Please check to make sure
		            your tab is not running over 80 columns, and that it is in
		            a monospaced font such as Courier.

        ( ) - it has insufficient detail. If your submission is a .tab
		            file, you MUST include a substantial amount of tab, unless 
		            your submission is an addition to an existing tab. If
	            	it is, please indicate that it is to be added to another 
            		tab when you resubmit. If it is a .crd file, please submit
	            	the chords for the entire song (including bridges/breaks).
        ( ) - you must not include lyrics.  To indicate the flow of the song
	            	to the reader either by including the CD time for each section,
	            	or by indicating verse, chorus, break, etc., or by giving
	            	the CD time for each section.
        ( ) - you must clearly indicate the pattern of verses, choruses,
	            	bridges and any solos the song may contain. You must
		            indicate the form of the song by indicating the order
	            	of chord patterns or riffs as they appear in the song. 
	       ( ) - you have submitted more than one tab per message. Please
		            submit only one tab per message.
        ( ) - other - please see after this letter.

Thanks for your time,

The OLGA Archivists
