Is this stuff restricted only to persons on the arpanet? I've been seeing lots of reference to PD material here in net.micro.cpm, but it seems that most all of it, and all of you, are out in ARPAland. Is there any reason for a lowly uucp netter to be reading this stuff? Ed, thanks for your note. Simtel20 is not accessable from the uucp net, unfortunately. If you have access to an Arpanet or Milnet host you can use FTP to get all the files you want. Otherwise, your local RCPM will be the best bet. I post a complete list each month of all known RCPMs to net.micro.cpm. If you are unable to access SIMTEL20 because of network restrictions please remember that MOST of the new files announced to Info-Cpm are also available on my RCPM Royal Oak (MI) which may be accessed at 300 bps using the 103a modem mode or 1200 bps using either the 212a or Vadic 3400 modes. The telephone number is (313) 759-6569. I don't consider uucp netters to be "lowly". In fact I try very hard to make new pd files available to them either via netmail (if the files are small enough) or by making space available on my RCPM for requested files. I have received many comments from uucp readers thanking me to keeping them up-to-date on what's new in the CP/M PD world. --Keith Petersen Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA uucp: ...!seismo!SIMTEL20.ARPA!W8SDZ uucp: ...!{decvax,unc,hao,cbosgd,seismo,aplvax,uci}!brl-bmd!w8sdz uucp: ...!{ihnp4!cbosgd,cmcl2!esquire}!brl-bmd!w8sdz
