Date: 12 Dec 1991 How to get files from SIMTEL20 and below, How to Upload files to Simtel20 >>Subject: How to order SIMTEL20 files via e-mail If you do not have FTP access to SIMTEL20, files may be ordered by e-mail from LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU or LISTSERV@VM.ECS.RPI.EDU. If you are on BITNET: LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 LISTSERV@RPIECS If your mailer knows domains: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu listserv@vm.ecs.rpi.edu If your mailer wants bang paths: uunet!vm1.nodak.edu!listserv uunet!vm.ecs.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 this command to the server to get its help file: GET PDGET HELP Sample command (which gets our catalog of MS-DOS files): /PDGET MAIL PD:SIMLIST.ARC 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 manager at one of these addresses, depending on which server you normally use: Internet BITNET "John Fisher" "Marty Hoag" 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. >> >>Subject: How to upload files to SIMTEL20 >> >>[File: PD1:UPLOAD.INF Last revised June 19, 1991] How to upload to SIMTEL20 I have received many inquiries about why SIMTEL20 does not publish instructions for uploading files for those who wish to submit their programs. The reason is that we prefer to coordinate uploads by having contributors contact us first so we can check to make sure the program is not already in the repository. File uploads are accepted via FTP using a special uploading account, via e-mail using a special mailbox which does not interfere with regular correspondence, and via modem at Detroit Download Central (313) 885-3956 (300-14400bps 212/V.22bis/HST/V.32/V.32bis/V.42bis/MNP). If you have a program to upload please send e-mail to me with a short description of the files you wish to submit. Please do *not* send files to my mailbox. Because of local management policy, SIMTEL20 does not accept games for submission to the archives unless they are strictly educational. Thanks to all those who are actively supporting the respository by helping us keep up to date with the latest programs.
