Yes, it was released on February 1, 1988 as:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 CRC

Directory PD2:<CPM.GENDOC>
UCPM10.ARK			BINARY	 74064  C16FH

It's a very extensive list, arranged so it can be easily printed.
I thought the file was announced to Info-Cpm.  If not, I'm sorry.
It's well worth reading.

For those unable to access SIMTEL20 because of network restrictions,
please remember that MOST of the new files announced to Info-Cpm are
also available on my RCP/M Royal Oak (MI) which may be accessed at
300 bps (Bell 103a), 1200 bps (Bell 212a), 2400 bps (V.22 bis), or
9600 bps (HST).  The telephone number is (313) 759-6569.  They are
also available from the CP/M RoundTable on General Electric
Information Services' GEnie.

The directories on my RCP/M have been recently reorganized.  The MAP
command will produce the following display:

              ------------------------
 
A1: Utilities                F1: Editors / WP / Text utilities
 
B1: More Utilities           G1: ZCPR3
 
C1: Communications           H1: High Level Languages
 
D1: Catalog/Printer/Docs     I1: Misc.
 
E1: Database/Spreadsheets    J1: RCP/M Utilities
 
There are ten logical drives on the system (still 64 Megabytes).
All files are in user 1.  The system should be faster now since
the directories are smaller.
