I run a public-access unix site in Seattle Washington, and I'd like to make it easy for people to get to SIMTEL20's archives. What I'm looking for is either a way to download files via email (ala uunet's netlib feature) or some other way to get to the files on that machine without an ftp account. (I don't have the $$$ to hook my machine up, and I don't have access to any ftp-capable machine) This is probably a request that comp.sys.ibm.pc gets at least once a week, but I've been reading for the last 2 months & must have missed the replies. What I'd like to do: get a few hundred megabytes of files off of SIMTEL20 and make them available to the random modem-owning public via dialup line & xmodem/ymodem/zmodem/kermit or whatever they want to use to get the files. You can reach me via email, at uunet!microsoft!bruceki (day job) or at uw-beaver!sumax!polari![root,sysop,bruceki] (night job) or voice at (206) 828-1524 (day) or (206) 328-2412 (eve) Seattle Online / news / shell accounts / email / multiuser games/NO HOURLY FEES 30 minutes free daily / no wait for verification / (206) 328-4944 (3/12)

The following is a script file that I run on my UNIX station to mail SIMTEL requests to a list server. It is a mod from one I was given on the net. #-------- BEGIN ----------------- # 'file' is location of a temporary file file=/usr/tmp/simrequest # 'me' is my mail address me=uunet!ingr!b23b!dragon!keith # 'listserv' is address of list server listserv=b23b\!ingr\!uunet\!vm1.nodak.edu\!listserv # print help if they goofed if (test "$#" -ne "3") then echo echo "usage: getsimtel <disk> <directory> <filename>" echo echo "Example: getsimtel pd1 msdos.filedocs simibm.arc" exit fi echo "/PDGET MAIL $1:<$2>$3 ( UUENCODE" > $file # mail our request, 'fastmail' from ELM product fastmail -r $me -F $me -s Request $file $listserv echo "getsimtel done" #--------- END -------------------------- -- _____________________________________________________________________ >>>>> ...!uunet!ingr!b23b!dragon!keith <<<<< "Fer cryin' out loud, research physicists need porsches too!" -Opus "...the Trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw." -Rush
