I have uploaded:

<msdos.filedocs>
SIMTEL.ARC      Allows easy viewing of SIMTEL20 PD file listings

Here is a well-built program that will import any SIMTEL20 catalog
file and convert it to a .DBF and allow viewing, searching etc.  No
documentation because it is very self-explanatory and intuitive.  The
user does not need dBASE and all the necessary files will be created
as they are needed by the program.  I hope that it meets your needs
and I hope that you will consider it worthy enough to be included in
your <msdos.filedocs> section.  I believe that it would go well in
your SIMIBM.ARC file.

                                        sincerely,

                                        mkelly

Thanks, Mike!  It's too big to include in SIMIBM.ARC and I expect we
would get a lot of complaints if we did include it because once people
have the program they don't need it again.  I will add a note to
AAAREAD.ME giving a pointer to the file, however.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering why I keep spelling SIMTEL20
in all caps - it's an acronym, not a name, and thus must be all caps.

Keith
