Anlauf (02461) 614519 IFF095 at DJUKFA11 To: INFO-CPM at AMSAA Subject: Mail access to the SIMTEL20 archives I am a Europian BITNET-user and I am in deed a little bit frustrated when I hear of all the software on SIMTEL20. I only want to make one (new?) point. If sources are distributed with a new mailing list it is still impossible to get old, but certainly good, software from SIMTEL20. The solution with an automatic fileserver sounds much more attractive to my ears. Now the question arises: do we really have to develop our own software? There are some other fileservers on the ARPA-net that also work together with BITNET. For example: INFO@CSNET-SH.ARPA You can get more informations with: Request:Info Topic: Help and: NETLIB@ANL-MCS.ARPA To receive information mail the following command to NETLIB: Send index These are automatic fileservers, as far as I know. Does anyone know, whether it is possible to use their software? Joachim -------

Anlauf (02461) 614519 IFF095 at DJUKFA11 To: INFO-CPM at AMSAA Subject: SQ, CRUNCH, ARC, LBR and vice versa on IBM mainframes I think there was a misunderstanding in a reply to John Fishers letter about informations on SQ, CRUNCH,... formats. He seems to have the same problem as me. We are working on IBM mainframes and want to look at the file we get from SIMTEL20 before shipping them to our micros. Documentation files can be printed on high speed printers. There is no need to ship them via telephone lines to the micros. My question: Is there any software available for IBM mainframes (not PC's) to do the job? Thanks in advance for any reply. Joachim Anlauf

I have the following problem with a program, using the turbo tool-box (access system version 1.0) and turbo pascal version 3.00A. I wrote a program that uses 2 different databases and 4 different index-files. Sometimes the program runs perfectly. Somtimes, when I only add a few lines of code, the program crashes immediatly, without coming to the added code. Sometimes senceless error messages occur with filenames made of random characters. Then I switch on the $U+ compiler option without any other changes on the program and the program perfectly runs again. It is a mystery for me. I never had any difficulties with this version of turpo pascal before. All other programs are still running so it is not the hardware. Is there someone out there who has an idea? Any, really any, comments are welcome. Joachim Anlauf

There is an UNARC in the starter-kit, but I could not find the counterpart ARC on SIMTEL20. Can anyone help me? Joachim Anlauf
