I would prefer a weekly posting of new postings to SIMTEL rather
than every third message being a new SIMTEL post. This is not to
say I don't appreciate Keith's efforts . . . . I DO! But, I prefer
a more digestable format.
The only exception to the weekly postings would be a virus update .
. . .these don't deserve a weekly posting, they deserve a immediate
posting.
Maybe there should be a vote on this issue. . .

If you want to get one every week then why not just get the simibm.idx file and run filedif on it....then you can have your weekly additions. > > The only exception to the weekly postings would be a virus update . > .. . .these don't deserve a weekly posting, they deserve a immediate > posting. > > Maybe there should be a vote on this issue. . . 1 vote against this idea.

I would rather find out about a new program on simtel as soon as I could. Also remember there are people who use LISTSERV(or whatever) and have more limited access than most do. Jeez! don't apoligize for constructive criticism. >The only exception to the weekly postings would be a virus update . >. . .these don't deserve a weekly posting, they deserve a immediate >posting. I agree wholeheartedly with this and I would like to say thank you to all who post these warnings. >Maybe there should be a vote on this issue. . . Nah. We should just discuss it and work out an agreement. Only if there is a real flame fest should a vote be taken. -- John F. McLaurin jfm@xanth.cs.odu.edu

I have been trying to access SIMTEL by sending mail to: mail listserv@vm1.nodack.edu with a message body of: /PDGET mail pd2:<msdos2.taxes>amtax89.arc uudecode This is only one example of what i've tried. Nothing i've sent has even came back (not even a error mail). What am i doing wrong?

Please bear in mind that the server may be a bit behind because of SIMTEL20 being down for four days over the New Year's weekend.

I too access the Simtel20 archives via listserv@vm1.nodack.edu (this is the only way I can do it ... no FTP or anything else). I am able to get files from the PD1:<*> directories, but I CAN NOT get anything from the PD2:<*> or the PD3:<*> directories. Does this server need to be updated? -Jeff -- _______________________________________________________________________ Jeffrey May {seismo|cbosgd}!osu-cis!sppy00!jwm -or- jwm@sppy00.UUCP OCLC - Online Computer Library Center Dublin, Ohio "Heavens they're tasty and expeditious."
