- 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.
-
- When you see a SIMTEL20 upload announcement in newsgroup
- comp.archives.msdos.announce, the file is already on OAK.
