- A new edition of the Simtel-20 CD-ROM is available. It contains
- about 640 meg of MS-DOS shareware and public domain software.
-
- The Simtel archive has grown since I made the last disc in September,
- so there wasn't enough room to include the Ulowell games archive. I
- am planning to finish a separate games disc later this month.
-
- Even without the games archive, there still wasn't enough room on the
- disc. I had to leave something off, so I decided to delete the
- windows3 directory. Most of the stuff in that directory is included
- on the CICA disc, so I figured that was better than deleting stuff
- that wasn't available elsewhere.
-
- The disc conforms to ISO-9660, which is the most common and generic format.
- It will work with almost any reader. The files are in a standard directory
- structure, so no special software is required. An optional menu driven front
- end is provided.
-
- If you want to see what is on the disc, you can ftp the index and readme
- files from cdrom.com (192.153.46.254), in the directory /pub/cdroms/simtel.
- If you want to use the disc with a BBS, description files are included for
- rbbs, pcboard, wildcat, spitfire and opus. There are also 4dos descript.ion
- files in each subdirectory.
-
- The price is $25. S&H is $5 (per order, not per disc) for US/Can/Mex, and
- $10 for overseas. If you live in California, please add sales tax. You can
- send a check or money order, or you can order with Mastercard/Visa/AmEx.

- I am always looking for ideas for new discs, so if there is something you
- would really like to see on CD-ROM, please let me know. In addition to
- the games disc, I am also working on an Aminet disc, and a NeXT disc.
- I am planning to do a TeX disc, an Atari disc and a CP/M disc in the
- next few months. I am also hoping to find time to upgrade some of the
- older discs like the source disc and garbo disc.
