RHAPSODY ARCHIVE UPDATE
I am running an electronic archive of useful, public-domain Apollo programs.
Currently the archive contains the following programs:
rolo 136K rolo.shar.1-5 Rolodex Program
month 73K month.shar.1-2 Visual Calendar Program
shar 20K shar.shar.1 Shell Archiver
clock 5K clock.shar.1 Clock Program
jp 19K jp.shar.1 Peterson's key defs & recognize
talk 35K talk.shar.1-2 Talk Program
comp 35K comp.shar.1-2 Compress Program
cb 10K cb.shar.1 Checkbook Accounting
sail 142K sail.shar.1-3 Sail (Based on the Avalon Hill game)
hack 515K hack.shar.1-18 Hack (A Rogue-like game)
pcm 52K pcm.1-2 PCM (Pacman) by Geof Cooper, IMAGEN
* mandel 55K mandel.shar Mandelbrot viewing programs from
John Peterson and Woody Kellum
* cvtfont 24K cvtfont.shar Converts VFONT fonts to Apollo
fonts (John Peterson)
* macfont 20K macfont.shar Converts Macintosh fonts to VFONT
(John Peterson)
* new as of this notice
DISTRIBUTION
The main distribution is through anonymous FTP login. I will also mail
to people without ARPA access. An anonymous FTP login is available on
zeus.ucla.edu. The files are in the directory /pub. The files (with the
exception of the compress program) are compressed. Only the most recently
released software is in /pub. I will place older stuff there for you on
request. We can also load a tape or diskette for you if you have no net
access. The current sites on the mailing list are:
Expected to do FTP
peterson@utah-cs.arpa
dhv@harvard.harvard.edu
shull@wharton-10.arpa
ezf@cc5.bbn.com
david@mc.lcs.mit.edu
ram@yale.arpa
shulman@spca.bbn.com
Poor Relations
amdcad!fredel@riacs.arpa
cadovax!scgvaxd!ihnp4!ihwpt!crocker
apollo!nazgul@eddie.mit.edu
dennis%cod@nosc.arpa
sdcrdcf!psivax!scgvaxd!hacvlsi!iketani
dual!bigtuna!brianm@decwrl-gw.arpa
I am no longer distributing to CSNET sites because of the flakiness of
that connection. I make one attempt to send to each Poor Relation. If
it doesn't make it, too bad. If mail to you is consistently flaky, I
stop mailing to you.
If your site isn't on this list, and you'd like to receive some of the
archived programs and be added to the list for future mailings, send mail
to srt@locus.ucla.edu or ...!ucla-cs!srt, indicating what you'd like to
receive.
CONTRIBUTIONS
If you'd like to contribute a program, all you have to do is mail it in
any form to me. If you're on ARPAnet, I can FTP it from you if that is
more convenient. I'm actively seeking new contributions, and hope that
you'll have something interesting.
If you'd like to contribute money, we can make special arrangements. For
instance, I'd be willing to drive over to your house if it isn't too far.
I also cut lawns.

New and available via FTP:
dm_format 28K Implements some text formatting for Apollo
DM windows (centering, filling, underlining,
etc.) Written by Ashwin Ram (Yale).
I've also received an Apollo Kermit, but it wasn't completely debugged and
I haven't yet received a revised version.
Longer announcement follows for new readers.

If you don't have FTP access and we would like to be added to the mailing

from the archive. If you want to get caught up, you'll have to send me
either a standard tape (NOT cartridge) or a number of (8") floppies. My
