You don't like comp.sys.ibm.pc.graphics.binaries.pics.gif? And we could
have comp.sys.ibm.pc.graphics.binaries.pics.gif.d for discussions. :-)

First good thing I've ever heard about VMS/Eunice... Anyway, let's go for comp.sys.ibm.pc.graphics.binaries.pics.gif.images and comp.sys.ibm.pc.graphics.binaries.pics.gif.exe.[cga|ega|vga| etc. ] so that we can keep the programs separate from the data files.

There is simtel20.arpa and wuarchive.wustl.edu, and then there's
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu, which I adminster:
Grape.ecs.clarkson.edu is a Zenith Z-248 running a modified version
of KA9Q's TCP/IP NET that allows you to shell out to DOS while still
processing packets. After shelling to DOS, we run an Opus BBS. The
particulars:
Almost all files are stored in .ZIP format. A .ZIP file contains a group
of files that have been compressed to save space. You need an unzipper
to access these files. Either PKzip102 or dezip20 will suffice.
A catalog of all files on grape is in /d/general/catalog.zip.
ZIP: Version 1.01+ required. Versions 0.90 and 0.92 do NOT work.
FTP: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu [128.153.13.196], any username&&password will work.
00readme for timely information.
/d/general/pkzip102.exe for Phil Katz's shareware ZIPper
/d/general/dezip20.com for a FREE unzipper.
/d/general/catalog.zip for the software catalog.
/c/bin[123]/*.* for c.b.i.p postings [under renovation]

/d/dosutil/postprn.zip for the PostScript device driver
/e/freemacs/*.* for Freemacs

Look at comp.archives, that's as good a place as any to start for finding archival information. --Ed
