Unfortunately SIMTEL-20 (and COLUMBIA-20/CU20-B) [sources of mucho public-domain micro software] are reachable only by machines connected to the ARPA internet (including MILNET, ARPANET and hundreds of small, campus-wide nets within many of the labs and universities with DoD and DARPA contracts). These announcements of software inaccessible to the majority of usenet readers appear because of gateways between netnews and comparable mailing lists on the ARPA internet. Maybe this notice should be added to those in net.announce (to join such venerables as don't ask origin of "grep", etc). -- Darrel J.
