Date: 1-JUL-1987 23:26:29.32 From: Ralph Becker-Szendy RALPH AT UHHEPG To: GATEWAY::"info-cpm@simtel20.arpa",RALPH Subj: Re: July RCP/M list now available from SIMTEL20 In his message "id 8896; Thu, 02 Jul 87 04:38:30 EDT", Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA> says that new files are available on the server at SIMTEL20. Unfortunately, some days ago Frank Wancho <WANCHO@SIMTEL20.ARPA> announced that the archive server at SIMTEL20 has been shut down completely (which seems to be true, the system refuses to deliver messages to the server). My conclusion is: either i am completely confused, or there are other ways of accessing the archives (without the ARCHIVE-SERVER), or one of Keith and Frank is wrong. Could someone enlighten me on this ??? Thanx a lot ! Ralph Becker-Szendy P.S.: I think it is very sad that the server had to shut down. I completely agree with Mitch Mlinar <POISSON.USC.EDU!MLINAR@OBERON.USC.EDU>: for people on a low budget looking for good PD software to run their system (whether professionally or as a hobby, i do a little bit of both) the best (and in many cases only) source has been shut down. Hope some other place takes the whole thing oveharnes:d
