[comp.os.cpm] SIMTEL20

ianj@sactoh0.UUCP (Ian R. Justman) (11/13/89)

Is there a way to access SIMTEL20 via Usenet?  If so, I would very
much like to know because I can't seem to get enough CP/M stuff.
My signature says it all.

There is!
You can send mail to either of
   LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU
   LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU

The mail body should be something like (start in leftmost column):
/PDDIR
	- returns: CPM SIGM PC-BLUE MSDOS MISC
/PDDIR PD:<directory>
/PDDIR PD:<directory.subdirectory>filename.ext age
	- directory is one of CPM SIGM PC-BLUE MSDOS MISC
	- age = 0..9999, specifies age of files for directory listing
	  default is 30 days
	- wildcards are allowed e.g.
		/PDDIR PD:<CPM.*>*.* 9999
	 will work, but will probably cause a lot of nuisance
/PDGET format PD:<CPM.subdirectory>filename.ext (encoding
	- use format=MAIL, encoding=UUE (note the left brace!!)
	- no wildcards allowed here

The amount sent at each request is limited in number of files and number
of bytes sent.

Happy hacking 8-{)

Hi all,

   I've just started reading comp.os.cpm and I saw that SIMTEL20 was a source
of binaries/sources.  I was hoping someone could give me the exact address of
the place so I can ftp from it ( if that's possible ).  If not, could someone
explain how to make contact in ANY way?

   As a side note, I have a good old Commodore 128 ( which has a cp/m mode ),
and I was wondering if anyone knew if this stuff would run on it.  It's got a
Z80 processor (only 2Mhz) running Version 3.x.  I doubt many others have this
setup, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.  :-)

                                        Thanks in advance,

                                        Bryan.
