Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) I can tell that it is time to post the information on how to reach my mail server again. So here it is... If you already take advantage of this service you can skip this article. I maintain a mail server than has a collection of HP48 and HP28 programs on it. This was set up as a service to those people who do not have access to FTP a want to find the great calculator programs that have been written. However, many people who can FTP have found my server very useful. I try to obtain every program from every FTP site I can find and store them in my archives. I believe I have the most complete public archive of calculator programs around. Other nice features include: A one-line description of every file in the INDEX A search command for all files added in the last x # of days My standard message on how to reach the server is included below along with the current HP-48 index. I hope this helps people who are tring to catch-up on the HP scene. How to reach Wayne's Mail Server -------------------------------- To request files for your HP-48 or HP-28 you can send command my mail to my mail server. Mail commands to: wscott@ecn.purdue.edu Mail Subject: HP-MAIL-SERVER <--If you don't the mail will come to me. The server will mail responses to the Reply-To: header on your mail. If not found, the From: field will be used. If you want to overide this path put this command in the message: path <your address> To get help: send HELP The HP-48 files are used by default. To reach the HP-28 files include: HP28 To get an index of files: send INDEX If you don't get a response within a day or so, your email address is probably bad. Include a path command with an address like one of the following: path login@machine.place.edu path login@PLACE.Bitnet path place!machine!login Files are send in a uuencoded (atob on request) format and the programs are usually compressed. (if they end in .Z) PC users should request PC.starter and u16.exe to extract files on a PC. If you have any other problems send me mail. (Same address, different subject) I hope you enjoy the server. Wayne Scott [350+ lines of inventory deleted. --Ed]
