Sat 10-Feb-90: Updated (/pc/pd2/)files-mm.zip for anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland. The package is a file list of a good (English speaking) Finnish BBS. We also have Simtel20 file list as (/pc/pd2/)simibm.zip. Further file lists to look at are eg (/pc/)0contents, (/pc/pd2/)0dir-pd2, and (/pc/ts/)0dir-ts, which list the files at chyde.uwasa.fi. The idea of having several file lists available for scanning is to give users hints what kind of programs are available. It is often useful to look at such lists before asking on the net. ...................................................................

Tue 23-Oct-90: Acquired a new release of /pc/pd2/files-mm.zip. This is a huge (some 1.4Mb ! when unpacked) list of files available at Micro Maniacs Opus 2:515/1 tel 358-0-425966. I feel that it is instructive to have available a file list of a good bulletin board, even if you don't intend to call long-distance to Finland :-). This is to show what files are circulating in BBSes. Not a bad idea for the users to look at this, or a similar list, when wanting to know if a utility exists for a such and such purpose. This is NOT saying that you shouldn't pose questions about the existence of utilities for a task you have in mind. It is saying that the answer is often found directly by searching through these filelists. (Editors can very handy for performing the search). Our own file lists of chyde.uwasa.fi archives are /pc/INDEX, /pc/ts/0dir-ts, /pc/pd2/0dir-pd2, and /unix/ts/0dir-u. We also keep a copy Simtel20 file list /pc/pd2/simibm.arc in case you have diffuculties in connecting to Simtel20. Notice though, that the most up-to-date version is best found at the original site. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send prerecorded instructions on request (provided that your email address is reachable). ...................................................................
