- Hello!
-
- I've just gotten done adding about 15 or so files (they're the ones at
- the bottom of this list... jb added the others) on this typical January
- Saturday in Michigan (muddy, rainy, foggy, wierd).... Most of these
- files are updates of older versions, so you might want to look through
- the list and see if there's a new version that might replace something
- old on your hard drive! There are updates for BBEdit, AutoDoubler,
- MacGhostScript and GateKeeper. There are also a couple LPR/lpd utilities
- in here (there's been quite a thread going through some UseNet newsgroups
- about these. I'm happy we can be one of the places where you can find these
- goodies!).
-
- In a couple weeks, I hope to have excellent news concerning our
- currently very limited ftp service (so be patient). Don't forget to use
- AFS access instead of ftp if you have it, and our Gopher server never
- has any limits -- just Gopher to the machine "gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu"
- and look in the "Special Topics" section. Both Sumex and our archives
- can be found. To get submissions to us, you can ftp the files (or "cp"
- them via AFS) into our incoming directory, or you can e-mail the files
- to "macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu". If you e-mail the files, they will
- be automatically redistributed to the Info-Mac archives, Comp.Binaries.Mac,
- and some other archives across the ocean (so please include some header text
- describing what it is that you're mailing us).
-
- Thanks! And have fun with our excellent archive!
