The index of SIMTEL20 MSDOS files, with descriptions, has just been
updated. The file is PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.IDX. An archived
version of the same file is in PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC.
A list of all files in the MSDOS archives is contained in directory
PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS> as follows:
NODESCR.IDX contains a listing of those files that do not have a discrip-
tion.
SIMCVT.BAS is a BASICA/GWBASIC program to convert SIMIBM.IDX to a human-
readable text file. See also SIMCVT2.BAS and SIMCVT3.BAS.
SIMIBM.HDR contains a PC-File+ database header for use with SIMIBM.IDX.
SIMIBM.IDX contains a listing of all files that have a one line descrip-
tion. SIMIBM.IDX (updated monthly) is automatically created by
taking the latest FILES.IDX (updated daily) and comparing it against
a combined list of current files on several BBS systems.
Also available:
FILDIF.ARC a program for comparing a previous copy of PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX
with a new copy. It displays files added and deleted since you got an
older index. This is useful if you are trying to maintain an archive
in sync with SIMTEL20. It can generate output scripts for batch FTP
processing.
SIMIBM.ARC contains the latest SIMIBM.HDR, SIMIBM.IDX, NODESCR.IDX,
AAAREAD.ME (this file), SIMCVT.BAS, SIMCVT2.BAS, SIMCVT3.BAS,
SIMIBM.DB3 (information on how to use the index with dBASEIII),
SIMIBM.HDR (PC-File+ database header), and SIMIBM.INF (explains
the fields in the index).
PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC is updated at approximately one month inter-
vals (more frequently, time permitting).
PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX is updated on a daily basis (sometimes several times
a day when a lot of new files are uploaded). This file is a comma-
delimited file, suitable for importing into PC-File+ or DBase III.
It's impossible to make a daily updated list with descriptions with the
quantity of new programs available. We average about 300 new files per
month.

DISCLAIMER
Due to the large number of files available, the archive maintainers
cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the
various programs. When a program bug is reported, immediate action is
taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from
the archives. Still, users must understand that all archive programs
are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim
any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage,
incidental or otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain
that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so
that you can recover if files are damaged or erased. This is
particularly true if you have a hard disk, in which case malfunctions
can be spectacularly disasterous.

The index of SIMTEL20 MSDOS files, with descriptions, has been
updated. The file is PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.IDX. An archived
version of the same file is in PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMIBM.ARC.
A list of all files in the MSDOS archives is contained in directory
PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS> as follows:
SIMIBM.IDX contains a listing of all files, with a brief one line
description for each file. This file is updated at approximate 1-2
week intervals (more frequently, time permitting).
SIMIBM.ARC contains the latest SIMIBM.IDX, AAAREAD.ME (this file),
SIMCVT.BAS, SIMCVT2.BAS, SIMCVT3.EXC, SIMIBM.DB3, SIMIBM.HDR,
SIMIBM.INF, SIMDISP.AWK, SIMDISP.DOC, SIMDISP.PL and SIMCVT.FOR.
SIMIBM.ARC s updated at approximate 1-2 week intervals (more
frequently, time permitting).
Also available:
QUICKREF.LST a quick reference list to SIMTEL20 MSDOS directories.
SIMCVT.BAS and SIMCVT2.BAS are BASICA/GWBASIC programs to convert
SIMIBM.IDX to a human-readable text file.
SIMCVT3.EXC a VM/CMS REXX program to print SIMIBM.IDX
SIMCVT.FOR a VAX/VMS FORTRAN program to print SIMIBM.IDX
SIMCVT.SPS a VAX/VMS SPS program to print SIMIBM.IDX
SIMDISP.AWK an awk script for displaying SIMIBM.IDX in outline form.
SIMDISP.DOC explains how to use SIMDISP.AWK.
SIMDISP.PL a Pearl script to print SIMTEL20's SIMIBM.IDX.
SIMIBM.DB3 tells how to use SIMIBM.IDX with dBASEIII.
SIMIBM.HDR a PC-File+ database header for use with SIMIBM.IDX.
SIMIBM.INF information on record structure of SIMIBM.IDX.
SIMRAZ12.ARC a program to merge, shorten, rearrange SIMTEL indices.
SIMTEL35.ARC a program which will import any SIMTEL20 comma-delimited
catalog file and convert it to a .DBF and allow viewing, searching,
printing reports, etc. The user does not need dBASE and all the
necessary files will be created as they are needed by the program.
FILDIF.ARC a program for comparing a previous copy of PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX
with a new copy. It displays files added and deleted since you got an
older index. This is useful if you are trying to maintain an archive
in sync with SIMTEL20. It can generate output scripts for batch FTP
processing.
PD1:<MSDOS>FILES.IDX and PD2:<MSDOS2>FILES.IDX are updated on a daily
basis (sometimes several times a day when a lot of new files are
uploaded). These are comma-delimited files, without descriptions,
of the MSDOS and MSDOS2 directories respectively, suitable for
importing into PC-File+ or DBase III.
It's impossible to make a daily updated list with descriptions with the
quantity of new programs available. We average about 200 new files per
month.
DISCLAIMER
Due to the large number of files available, the archive maintainers
cannot possibly attempt to validate the proper operation of the
various programs. When a program bug is reported, immediate action is
taken to either correct the error or remove the offending program from
the archives. Still, users must understand that all archive programs
are offered AS IS, and the archive maintainers specifically disclaim
any liability should these programs malfunction or cause damage,
incidental or otherwise. When testing ANY new software, be certain
that all information stored on disk is backed-up before you start, so

We are on a relatively obscure node of the net and I find that we have
little or no support for getting at the simtel20 DOS archives. Specifically,
I am interested in obtaining the UUPC files below:
Directory PD1:<MSDOS.UUCP>
UUPCSRC.ZIP B 120601 900201 MSDOS uucp, C source for UUPC v1.07g (01/90)
UUPCUSER.ZIP B 106841 900201 MSDOS uucp, UUPC v1.07g (01/90), many bugfixes
I am not asking you to send these, as you would then be in a position
to do so for a large number of others. However, I would be interested
in any information that you have concerning UUCP access or UUCP
servers that have FTP access to simtel. Having seen your AutoFTP
package in CBIPD, surely you will here of someone with both UUCP and
FTP access that intends to set up a UUCP server for simtel. Any
information would be a great help.
Thanks. And keep up the good work.
