[comp.sys.atari.8bit] status of archiehves

gillette@MARLIN.NOSC.MIL (David L. Gillette) (01/06/89)

  I find that the files 8-bit.cat and 8-bit.text are of zero length.
This makes it very hard to find out about additions to the archives 
since the last time I downloaded these files. For reference I was trying to 
aquire these files on 1-5-89. I did aquire the read.me file at this time.

    What is the status of the bitnet program archives, and where are they?

The catalog files for the 8-bit software archives have been repaired.
Sorry about that (I ran into quota problems on Score).

Some new stuff has made it into the archives lately; there's the latest
versions of SuperARC/UnARC, VTOCFIX, DISKCOMM etc, as well as GTERM.  If
anybody cares, I'll send out periodic announcements of new stuff.
