I've been using SIMTEL20 for quite a while. I have two questions. 1. How do I find out if a file is COM or ASCII. Get MICRO:<CPM>CPM.CRCLST. It's an ascii file listing all files in the MICRO:<CPM.*> directories and showing their filetype, size and CRC. This file is frequently updated, sometimes several times a week. 2. How do I upload files and make sure that it comes out in ITS format? If you want to submit files to our collection you can upload them to your host in BINARY or ASCII format (depending upon the file, of course). Send me a message saying that you have some files to submit and I'll reply with instructions on how to FTP them to SIMTEL20. The FTP program will have to be told whether to use BINARY or ASCII mode, of course. It is also helpful if you include a CRC list so I can make sure they made it here ok. --Keith
