-
- An index of all files in the WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil MS-DOS collection
- is available in two formats:
-
- Directory PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>
- Filename Type Description
- ==============================================
- SIMIBM.ZIP B Comma-delim list of all MSDOS files w/descrip.
- SIMLIST.ZIP B Text format list of all MSDOS files w/descrip.
-
- These files are updated every 7-10 days. See AAAREAD.ME in that
- directory for details.
-
- SIMTEL20 allows only nine ANONYMOUS FTP logins during weekday
- prime time, 5am to 3pm Mountain Time (GMT-7), but 27 otherwise.
-
- SIMTEL20 files are also available by anonymous ftp from mirror sites
- OAK.Oakland.Edu (141.210.10.117), wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4),
- ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9), nic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100), src.doc.ic.ac.uk
- (146.169.3.7), nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40), archie.au (139.130.4.6),
- nctuccca.edu.tw (140.111.3.21), by e-mail through the BITNET/EARN file
- servers, or by uucp from UUNET's 1-900-GOT-SRCS. See UUNET file
- uunet!~/info/archive-help for details.
-
- OAK.Oakland.Edu is the most up-to-date mirror because I maintain it,
- in addition to my duties at SIMTEL20. I run OAK's mirror program
- whenever new files are added at SIMTEL20.
-
- If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20 or its mirrors, files may be
- ordered by e-mail from these servers:
-
- Location EARN/BITNET Internet
- -------------- ---------------- ----------------------------------
- In USA: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU
- In USA: LISTSERV@RPITSVM LISTSERV@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU

- If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv
- uunet!vm.its.rpi.edu!listserv
-
- If you use bang paths, substitute your nearest neighbor which is also
- on the Internet for uunet in the examples above. Some examples are:
- ames, decvax, decwrl, harvard, hplabs, nosc, rutgers, sharkey, sun,
- ucbvax, ucsd, udel, uw-beaver, wuarchive.
-
- Send these commands to the server to get its help files:
-
- HELP
- GET PDGET HELP
-
- Sample command (which gets our catalog of MS-DOS files):
-
- /PDGET MAIL PD:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ZIP UUENCODE
-
- These commands should be sent as the body of a regular email message.
- Do not include a signature because it confuses the server. If you
- have xxdecode, you may wish to specify XXENCODE instead of UUENCODE to
- avoid character translation problems.
-
- Comments, questions, and suggestions should be directed to the LISTSERV
- or TRICKLE manager at one of these addresses, depending on which server
- you normally use:
-
- Internet BITNET
-
- "John Fisher" <FISHER@VM.ITS.RPI.EDU> <FISHER@RPITSVM>
- "Marty Hoag" <INFO@VM1.NODAK.EDU> <INFO@NDSUVM1>
- "TRICKLE Maintainers" <RED-BUG@EGE.EDU.TR> <RED-BUG@TREARN>
-
- Please do NOT send your comment or question about the servers to SIMTEL20.
- However, if you wish to report a program bug or to request information
- on how to upload files to SIMTEL20, you may send e-mail to me at one
- of the addresses below.
-
- [Note: Do not use ftp-by-mail servers without the permission of your
- system administrator and (if fed via uucp) your uucp feed. Thank
- you. Justification: many sites simply don't have the disk space
- set up to do this without warning, and mail disruption may result.]
