Hi folks.. here's yet another 100 lines of files (just about caught up)
that I've added to the "mac.archive.umich.edu" at the University of
Michigan... perhaps I'm running out of new stuff to add.. if you're into
Compu$erve or AOL or GEnie and you've gotten interesting Macintosh
things from there, why not ftp to 141.211.168.70 and put a binhex'd and
stuffed copy in there for the whole internet?
btw.. if you ever think ftp'ing to mac.archive is slow, we have another
entryway into the archive.. you can also ftp to "earth.rs.itd.umich.edu"
(141.211.165.34) and that'll put you into the archive, as well.. eventually,
"mac.archive" will be another name for earth (sounds prophetic, no?) and
we'll be running the archive off a more powerful DEC host....
neat, huh? Please send comments and questions my direction, as well...
