dauter@terminator.cc.umich.edu (Michael Dautermann) (04/26/91)
Hi folks.... so far I've had about 20-30 letters.. it's been running
about 3/4ths favorable, 1/4th against.. I need more input on whether I
should be announcing the new files available on the macintosh archives
at U-Michigan here on comp.sys.mac.misc...
Anyways, since I haven't posted a list in a while, I took an hour and
dug up the correct paths, pasted them into the file, et al.. Here are
200 lines of new files available on mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.168.70).
As before, the first file name (e.g. FO/SAINT2) is the filename in the
archive site on um-mts.cc.umich.edu.. the second filename is the correct
path to the file on the mac.archive. Hopefully, we'll get a 00recent list
started soon, so this whole thing can be automated and I won't need (or want)
to waste bandwidth telling you about new files.
If you see anything on Compu$erve or GEnie or anywhere else that you'd like
to see put on the Internet, PLEASE feel absolutely free to "ftp-put" a
stuffed/binhexed copy of the file into the "incoming" folder in the
archive. And if you have any questions or comments, please feel just as
free to send me email.. I try to respond to all email in a few hours after
I receive it....
