[comp.sys.cbm] I wantWantWANT a Commodore FTP SSite!

bskendig@phoenix.Princeton.EDU (Brian Kendig) (10/26/89)

Well, I just did it.  The nifty downloads I got off the net in the past few
weeks just happened to all be on the same disk, and I just happened to GEOS-ize
the disk, and I just happened to forget that I converted some files on there
to GEOS format, and I just happened to go scratch some files from the disk
through normal CBM-DOS (not geoDOS), and GEOS just happened to not like the
disk after that, and...

All the Geos stuff I pulled from here recently is dead, at least until I figure
out how to mess with the disk structure and set things right again.  A truly
daunting prospect.

I would REALLY like to see a Commodore FTP site established so that Commodore
files will always be availabble.  I'm no longer on Q-Link (prices got a tad
exorbitant), so I can't get stuff from there; wouldn't it be grand to have
a copy of Q-Link's stuff right here on the InterNet?  [hint hint]

There's GOTTA be a site SOMEWHERE around here with some CBM and GEOS stuff on
it - and I'm not referring to the Kermit available from maxwell.physics.-
purdue.edu.  That's nice - thanks to whoever put that up! - but I'd like
to see a bit more offered, somewhere...

Meanwhile, if anyone happens to have uuencoded (or other) copies of
"convertDA" (the CBM-to-Geos converter DA) or "MacAttack II" from the postings
of a few short weeks ago, could you please E-mail them to me?  Please?

And I'd reallyReallyREALLY like to have DesTerm 128, too...  [more hinting]

Please pity me, and thankew in advance!
