- I'll take the liberty of making a copy of my reply and posting it to
- comp.archives.msdos.d because this involves several aspects that may
- be of general interest to the gentle readers.

- If you have seen an announcement of an upload in
- comp.archives.msdos.announce, but it is no longer there, you can get
- recent back issues of the digests on them for the msdos-ann mailing
- list which Keith maintains. If you need to know how, the
- instructions are stored in
- 3796 Dec 20 10:29 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/MSDOSANN.ZIP
-
- >viewer to set the news standards for gif viewers (or something like that).
-
- In fact I only copied the original upload announcement, and then
- referred to it. Thus the claim was not mine, nor does it present my
- opinnions in any way. If I copy an uploader's announcement, it has
- little to do with wheteher I agree or disagree with the uploaders
- views.
-
- >Can you tell me what it is called? (and where to get it?)
-
- Start my looking at the recent announcements. First check the
- comp.archives.msdos.announce postings and the msdos-ann digests.
-
- You also might scan the filelists
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/INDEX.ZIP
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/win31/INDEX
- wsmr-simtel20.army.mil: PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ZIP
-
- Furthermore you can download
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/_files.in
- to see what has been uploaded in Garbo MsDos section this month.
- The other main directories at Garbo have a similar file.
-
- >Is there e-mail access to it? (with out ftpmail@dewcrl.dec.com ?)
-
- If you do not have FTP capability, Garbo has an email server. You
- are welcome to ask me for the canned Garbo (29Kb) instructions.
- SIMTEL20 also is "mail served" but that is by third parties. Please
- watch out for Keith's periodic announcements of the "trickle"
- servers.
-
- >Thanks in advance
-
- I hope that in the long run in its generality this reply is of more
- use to you, and other users trying trying to find again recent
- uploads, than if I just give the exact pointer. Besides I do not
- have it readily. I do not handle our Windows (or Mac) material at
- all (if it indeed is a Windows upload you are speaking of).
-
- Incidentally, you have a bouncing adrress so you'll only see this on
- the news. Unfortunately it also means that until you / your system
- manager do something about it at your site, you cannot be able to
- use our email server.
