dauter@terminator.cc.umich.edu (Michael Dautermann) (06/19/91)
Hi folks!
Here's a conclusive list of all the things I've personally added
to mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.165.34 - this number is due to
change yet one last time in about a week or two...).
A lot of these things came from Sumex, but there are also others
you won't find anywhere else... yet (they'll probably get the files
from us..coughcough). When I'm adding things to the archive, the first
place I look to is the "incoming" folder on mac.archive.. the things
you send to us are the things I look at and add first. If you have
any programs or files or neat things to submit, please feel totally
free to ftp-put them into the "incoming" directory.
Please send comments and ideas my direction... I'm eager to hear from
you and I'll try to answer anything....
Michael...
