The following is a copy of a reply to a user's questions about PC Blue
and other PD archive info. I am forwarding it for those on this list
who may not have seen this information before.
>From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ>
Can you direct me to annotated files that describe the contents of the
PD1:<PC-BLUE> subdirectories? I have been able to get such descriptions
of that for PD1:<MSDOS>, but not for the other.
Comma-delimited lists:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD1:<PC-BLUE>
FILES.IDX ASCII 530228 8E6AH <--all files, no descr.
PCB000.IDX ASCII 106474 D4D2H <--disks 0-49
PCB050.IDX ASCII 118657 B34EH <--disks 49-99
PCB100.IDX ASCII 88194 6DD7H <--disks 100-149
PCB150.IDX ASCII 107560 9FDEH <--disks 150-199
PCB200.IDX ASCII 155851 3A04H <--disks 200-299
PCB300.IDX ASCII 85646 6DF4H <--disks 300-399
PCB400.IDX ASCII 65678 DAD9H <--disks 400-499
In directory PD1:<PC-BLUE.VOL000> you'll find (all text files):
PC/Blue Volume 000 Information Catalog (1-485)
name size description
CATALOG .SUM 29K Summary of all released PC-Blue Volumes
PCBLUE .CAT 330K Listing of PC-Blue releases 001 thru 485
RELEASES.NEW 6K Listing of latest PC-Blue releases
This directory is updated each time a new release of several disks is
received.
I have found
your system to be quite helpful in getting at the latest PC Magazine
utilities. It would be much more efficient if I could get the type of
annotated directory listing for the Unix, PC-BLUE, and other public
domain/shareware directors. Are there PD2, etc. directories available?
