Subj: Info on Wayne's mail server.
Date: Tue Feb 12 1991
I can tell that it is time to post the information on how to
reach my mail server again. So here it is...
If you already take advantage of this service you can skip this article.
I maintain a mail server than has a collection of HP48 and HP28 programs
on it. This was set up as a service to those people who do not have
access to FTP a want to find the great calculator programs that have
been written.
However, many people who can FTP have found my server very useful. I try
to obtain every program from every FTP site I can find and store them in
my archives. I believe I have the most complete public archive of
calculator programs around.
Other nice features include:
A one-line description of every file in the INDEX
A search command for all files added in the last x # of days
My standard message on how to reach the server is included below along
with the current HP-48 index. I hope this helps people who are tring to
catch-up on the HP scene.
How to reach Wayne's Mail Server
--------------------------------
To request files for your HP-48 or HP-28 you can send command my mail
to my mail server.
Mail commands to: wscott@ecn.purdue.edu
Mail Subject: HP-MAIL-SERVER <--If you don't the mail will come to me.
The server will mail responses to the Reply-To: header on your mail. If
not found, the From: field will be used. If you want to overide this path
put this command in the message:
path <your address>
To get help:
send HELP
The HP-48 files are used by default. To reach the HP-28 files include:
HP28
To get an index of files:
send INDEX
If you don't get a response within a day or so, your email address is
probably bad. Include a path command with an address like one of the
following:
path login@machine.place.edu
path login@PLACE.Bitnet
path place!machine!login
Files are send in a uuencoded (atob on request) format and the programs are
usually compressed. (if they end in .Z) PC users should request PC.starter
and u16.exe to extract files on a PC.
If you have any other problems send me mail. (Same address, different
subject) I hope you enjoy the server.

To get a file use
send dir/file
example:
send math/poly.v32
send games/tetris.2
You don't need to add the file extentions.
