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.

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.

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.
