    (1)  I don't know for sure where the Internet archives are.  Can anyone
    post the location?

Ok, folks, here it is again:

The 8-bit program archives live on host Score.Stanford.EDU, in directory
PS:<INFO-ATARI.8-BIT>.  For those of you whose hosts don't yet grok
domains, Score's Internet addresses are 10.3.0.11 and 36.8.0.46.

To get stuff out of the archives, use your favorite FTP program to
connect to Score, and log in as ANONYMOUS, with any password.  Set your
default directory (in Un*x-speak, 'cd', in TOPS-speak 'connect') to the
above-named directory, and get a directory-list.  At the top, you should
see a file called "-READ-.-ME-".  Read it.  It tells you what files are
where, and how to tell what tools you need (UUdecoders, ARC unpackers
etc) to use them.

That's about it.  Please send any problem reports to me.

If anyone has stuff they'd like to submit to the archives, send it to
me, preferably with docs etc, and I'll see that it gets in.

For those of you without Internet access, the BITNET version of these
same archives is open for business, as LISTSERV@VM.TCS.TULANE.EDU.  Due
to various difficulties, it doesn't yet contain all the stuff that the
Internet one does, but it will eventually.

Keep those cards and letters coming...
