If you have some files to submit to the CP/M public domain collection
at SIMTEL20 but you don't have access to a host that can FTP there,
you can upload them to the CP/M area on GEnie at no charge and I'll
see that they are forwarded to SIMTEL20. GEnie has local nodes in
over 450 cities so there's a good chance of having one in your local
calling area. It's a new nation-wide service similar to CompuServe.
They have a free upload (turn the clock off) policy (during non-prime
hours) in effect for the next three months. In addition, I just
learned that they have a special no-charge sign-up deal until March
31st. There is no monthly minimum and the hourly rate for 300/1200
bps is only $5 during non-prime hours and on weekends/holidays.
You can have a free look around and optional sign-up by doing the
following:
Dial 1-800-638-8369. Upon connection, enter HHH
At the U#= prompt enter ^R5JM11973,GENIE and press return
The ^R is of course a control-R. That turns on local node echo to
give you an interface like you're used to. If you omit the control-R
the node assumes you are doing your own local echo.
This is not to be considered as a solicitation for you to sign up on
GEnie for the purpose of downloading. It is for informational
purposes only. They don't stand to profit if you sign up and upload
for free. The free upload policy finally gives us a way for
non-Internet readers to submit their programs to our collection.

Keith,
Thanks for the poop on GEnie. Now, please -- if I DO have FTP
access, what directory should I use on SIMTEL20 for uploads? (I
didn't think the general directories were available for writing,
to preserve configuration control).
