I was just wondering if anybody out there had the Lost Boys Mind Bomb Demo? If so, why haven't you posted it to atari.archive? Or better yet, could somebody tell me where to get it? Also, I was wondering if there will ever be an index up at atari.archive that is easy to use and TELLS ME WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DOWNLOAD? Finally, are there other anonymous ftp sites that carry good demos like the ones on atari.archive? And why are there two files, wowdemo and rexdemo3, up on atari.archive that are the same thing? Just ramblin' Dom Alvear

From what I've been able to discern, the Mind Bomb Demo was released as an exclusive disk to (I believe) Budgie in England. It isn't to be sold through PD libraries, and I don't know if it is posted on any of the archive servers. Perhaps one of our readers in Great Britain can give you an address and the cost of the demo. -- David Paschall-Zimbel davidli@simvax.labmed.umn.edu

Be cool, these guys do us a great service just from the kindness of their hearts! I find that the easiest thing to do is to check the newitems section every couple of days (you could even cron this to work automatically). I suggested a REVIEW folder a couple of months ago, where people could put small text files outlining what a program does and how well it does it. I sheepishly admit that I never got on the ball and sent any reviews, but the atari.archive folks said they could do it. I will send some review files in the next couple of days, ending in ".review". Please, if you are using a program from atari.archive and you like it, do the same. Since most of the stuff comes with doc files, I guess just a short description of the program's function, any errors or bugs encountered, and perhaps the names of other programs that do it better/worse would be sufficient. -- Mickey R.
