Hi folks.... I'm not sure if you've seen this message before, either as a form letter in your mailbox (I send it out to a lot of folks I see on UseNet..), or on another Usenet group.. just hit J, if you don't want to hear about the online archive. I help to maintain a Macintosh Public Domain and Shareware archive at the University of Michigan. Online, there's probably more unique and useful stuff than what you'll find on most other Internet archives (we're not in competition - as we're all in this together, of course -- it's just a new and alternative site to check out for Mac stuff). To access the archive, FTP anonymously to um-mts.cc.umich.edu (35.1.1.43) or ub-mts.cc.umich.edu (35.1.1.47) and type in "cd PC2:", which will put you into the Macintosh directory. Since we're not running off a Unix mainframe (yet..), instead of typing "ls" (which will take about 5 minutes to prepare, and then 10 minutes to scroll down your screen!), you can retrieve the index file by typing in "get !index index" at your FTP prompt, and for more detailed instructions "get do/download2 download.txt". I know a lot of you folks out there have access to unusual and interesting sources of mac software yourself (GEnie, Ci$, Online America, in-house, etc.), if you see anything interesting that you think would be useful made available to the Internet/Bitnet, upload it and send it as a mail message to me at "userw72n@um.cc.umich.edu" or the address below (I try to answer any questions, suggestions, bad jokes, etc.). The reason I'm looking for new programs, of course, is to help make our archive a place for developers to drop off new applications & files, and to make it a popular place for you to look for things you need. Drop me a line and let me know how it goes for you. Thanks! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mike @ ccs.itd.umich.edu (temporarily.. until it gets fixed) forwarded to DAUTER@TERMINATOR.CC.UMICH.EDU Mike Dautermann - U-M Ann Arbor, Dearborn and the WORLD!!
