Due to the MAJOR demand for folksie types wanting me to pass along info on SIMTEL access, I've just decided to post a synopsis of the most recent stuff. OK OK I now know that there is no PRACTICAL way to get to SIMTEL from a usenet-only machine. Sorry about that to all you hopeful people out there. Anyway, here it is (for your edification): > If you get any info on how to get in touch with SIMTEL20 could you >please mail me > > Tim Graves > > mcvax > \ > \ > ukc!west44!graves ..!west44!westf!graves > / \ > / \ > vax135 hou3b -- >ecsvax in the Triangle has a lot of the programs, and I am going to raid >SIMTEL 20 this summer on a trip to New Mexico.
