Howdy! Here's a list of some of the new files that can be found at mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.165.34)... if you're looking for an index to the archive, watch for 00Index which should be arriving on-line very soon (the "development" version can be found in the file PC2:!index on um-mts.cc.umich.edu).. Please send comments and suggestions my direction...
