Hi folks... you haven't seen one of these in the past two or so weeks.. a lot of files have indeed been added to the mac.archive at the University of Michigan (that's 141.211.165.34, mac.archive.umich.edu). The index/abstracts file is still being worked on... I think we have some type of interesting set up now, and we're working on the format that would be easiest for a database program to use. In the listing below, you'll see the first (MTS-style) filename.. which is where the file can be found on the old site (um-mts.cc.umich.edu, 35.1.1.43). The second filename (e.g. /mac/utilities....) is the mac.archive path name... If you see anything interesting out on the internet or in your travels through Compu$erve and GEnie, please take a bit of time and upload them to the incoming folder and I'll get to them as fast as possible. Thanks!
