I understand that there's a vast amount of PD software for the mac in the simtel20 archives. Can someone tell me how to obtain files from this archive via USENET mail? (ie. a mail server) Thanx in advance Brian

Please let me know as well. I can say that I know how to get into the MSDOS archives on simtel, and this may help. I just send a mail message to simtel, which is aliased to uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv (you might use listserv@vm1.nodak.edu). You can just put the word help in the subject and body for an overview, or go right for it by having the body start with the line /pdget mail pd1:<msdos.filedocs>simibm.arc uuencode If all goes well, you will get an archive containing a bunch of stuff including a complete list of the msdos archives. It will come in many pieces, which have to be joined, uudecoded and de-arced. There is a small amount of mac-related stuff there, but it's MSDOS programs. I'm not aware of an archive of mac programs on simtel. Please let me know if there is.
