w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (Keith Petersen) (02/10/89)
I have just uploaded the following new files to Simtel20:
<msdos.arc-lbr>COMPRES5.ARC Comparisons of performance of archiving pgms
<msdos.arc-lbr>PAK16.ARC NoGate's archive create/extract program
<msdos.graphics>PC-DRAFT.ARC Hi-res pixel oriented drawing and graphing utl.
<msdos.arc-lbr>PKFORMAT.ARC Specs on Phil Katz's new PD ZIP archive format
PC-Draft is a high resolution pixel oriented drawing and graphing
utility, which is designed to facilitate a variety of drawing and
drafting needs. With PC-Draft you can produce drawings up to 1280 by
700 dots using IBM's color graphic adaptor high resolution graphics
mode (640 x 200 dots per screen). Such a drawing will fill an 8-1/2 x
11 inch printed output (at 150 dots per inch resolution). Built-in
functions allow you to draw circles, lines, boxes; draw bar, line and
pie graphs; create patterns with which to fill areas; cut and paste
objects and save objects to files for later use. You can record
graphic keyboard macros saved in files for later playback and for
animation effects. You can load and edit fonts. And you can print
your drawings on Epson compatible graphic printers or HP Laserjet+
printers.

Here is an excerpt from PKFORMAT.ARC:
Dedication
----------
The file format of the files created by these programs, which file format
is original with the first release of this software, is hereby dedicated to
the public domain. Further, the filename extension of ".ZIP", first used in
connection with data compression software on the first release of this
software, is also hereby dedicated to the public domain, with the fervent
and sincere hope that it will not be attempted to be appropriated by anyone
else for their exclusive use, but rather that it will be used to refer to
data compression and librarying software in general, of a class or type
which creates files having a format generally compatible with this
software.

Posting to Usenet can make one anxious for three distinct reasons:
1) The fear that no one will read your posting,
2) The fear that everyone will read your posting and find errors in it, and
3) The foreknowledge that everyone will be reading your posting, and
you just *know* there's one tiny but crippling mistake in it, but you
can't find it.

I certainly hope that you will NOT discontinue them, although perhaps they could be digested and posted weekly, if that's not a big hassle. There are two large advantages to this: they give people with ftp access a chance to get things without uudecodeing, or to get missing parts, and they also give people without ftp access a chance to see what's there and ask if selected items could be posted to c.b.i.p in the future.

In that way I can have a feel for what files are available without needing to frequently peruse a new simibm.lst, waiding through the thousands of files I have seen before. Now, we all agreed a few weeks ago that Rahul was doing a great job and didn[t want to have untested stuff coming through. I don't disagree with that. However, I think the gist of the original posting was to the effect that since there seems to be (virtually) nothing coming thru on c.b.i.p. currently that we DO NOT KNOW if it is dead, if Rahul got run over by a truck, if there is nothing in his queue, etc., etc., etc. I think it would be great if Rahul could take a moment to post an occasional ntoe in this newsgroup about his status--does he have 500 things in testing which we will see in a while once he is satisfied with them, or is the queue empty and he would welcome more submissions, or whatever the status really is.

Keith, Please don't discontinue your announcements (unless they are time consuming for you). I certainly don't find them offensive. SIMTEL20 has a lot of software that doesn't come through cbibmpc. Also, SIMTEL20 has, for me, a lot of software that is not easily available elsewhere. I find it quite handy to know what has been uploaded recently. Keep up the good work.

anyone, particularly me. You're notifications are indeed valuable and
your participation in general is to be commended. My aim was to dig at
the TOTAL lack of c.b.i.p. postings. As far as I'm concerned, please
feel free to continue posting upload notifications.

It is such a pain to get onto simtel sometimes that I find it invaluable to know when new utilities are uploaded to simtel and what they are. When enough interesting programs show up I will try to log on and then download all of them as quickly as possible. If I did not have these notices I would spend much more time poking around simtel for new things. -Alex ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ahaley@hmcvax.claremont.edu | Anyone know of a way to go to school ahaley@jarthur.claremont.edu | without having to do a lot of work or or Alex Haley, Fido 1:205/106 | pay a lot of money? :-) during breaks ONLY --^^^^^ | It would make it a bit more enjoyable! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can see by all the positive feedback that it's generally felt :-) that Keith's update list's are generally appreciated and I heartily agree. The update lists are valuable to those listeners who aren't on the continental US and find it more difficult or time-consuming or expensive to FTP the index file directly from the SIMTEL-20. The drip-feed of updates via the news system solves this problem very nicely, thank you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GIOVANNI MORETTI, Consultant | EMail to G.Moretti@massey.ac.nz Computer Centre, Massey University | Packet Radio : ZL2BOI@ZL2BFJ Palmerston North, New Zealand | Ph 64 63 69099 x8398 GMT+12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
