for its members. Can anyone point me at such software

   The ACGNJ-BBS has On-Line about 10 BBS programs for various systems
   and OSes like CP/M, MSDOS and UNIX. They are mostly in source.
   That club also distributes the SIG/M(CPM) and PC-BLUE disks for
   about $6-9US. The address for the disks is :
                                      SIG/M
                                      PO BOX 97
                                      Iselin, NJ 08030
   The BBS number is (201) 753 9758, the programs are free there.
   This information came from Micro/Systems Journal, Dec 1986 201-522-9347.

   I have no connection to the magazine or the disk sales, only a subscriber.

I recently bought the entire 237 volume PC-BLUE collection of msdos pd and
shareware software and while I do not wish to get into the business of
distributing software (no time) I am willing to make a limited number
of copies (say 2-4) of the complete collection available at a much more
reasonable price (say $220 US including shipping) than any of the
distribution points I have seen charge (how's that for a long sentence?).
I arc'd each of the volumes and stuck them on my hard disk and then used
BACKUP to put them on floppies (resulting in some savings in floppies).
As I said I don't want to do this on a regular basis (it takes about a day
to make a copy) but for 2-4 people (if there are that many interested)
I wouldn't mind. If you are interested send email to the address below.

 p.s. I posted this followup then decided the subject line should be changed to a more
    appropriate one; I tried to cancel the original followup but apologies if 
     it did get out.
