I don't have access to an ftp link to the Simtel Ada archive. Is it
possible to obtain files from Simtel via e-mail? Or is it possible to
order tapes of selected files?
Thanks for any pointers.

I've never used this method, but it should apply equally well to Ada. I've been told that an appropriate server request is of the form: /pdget mail pd2:<ada>ada.crclst uuencode Rick ------------------------------------------------------------------- From: w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Keith Petersen) Newsgroups: comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d Subject: How to order SIMTEL20 files by e-mail Message-ID: <KPETERSEN.12633863349.BABYL@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL> Date: 30 Oct 90 08:44:00 GMT Sender: usenet@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Lines: 53 > I'd like to access the archive at SIMTEL20, but my system doesn't > allow me to FTP remote sites.

If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@RPIECS If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.ecs.rpi.edu!listserv If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are: ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun, ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive. Send this command to the server to get its help file: GET PDGET HELP Sample command (which gets our catalog of files): /PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC UUENCODE These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message. Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to avoid character translation problems. > Who do I contact with suggestions or unsolvable problems? Depending on which server you normally use: Internet BITNET "John Fisher" <FISHER@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU> <FISHER@RPIECS> "Marty Hoag" <INFO@VM1.NODAK.EDU> <INFO@NDSUVM1> DO NOT send your comment or question about the servers to SIMTEL20. However, if you wish to report program bug or to request information on how to upload files to SIMTEL20, you may send e-mail to me at one of the addresses below.

Did you try /pdget mail pd2:<ada>ada.crclst uuencode? Did you contact fisher@vm.ecs.rpi.edu? I was told this would work. Perhaps pdget help is out of date.
