[net.micro] Public Domain SW ??

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get a  listing  of  the  public  domain
directories ( *not* files) on SIMTEL20 for ftp purposes.  So far, all I've been
able to find - by the hit and miss (mostly miss) method - are the pc-blue and
msdos directories.  Any leads will be appreciated!

Simple.  Just fetch the file PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>SIMTEL-ARCHIVES.INFO from
SIMTEL20.  It identifies all the top level PD directories and how to follow
the subdirectory tree, as well as the nitty-gritties of file formats.  Each
subdirectory usually contains at least one file which describes the contents
of the subdirectory.
