This is not a bad situation, except that many of these requests contain a message like HELP instead of a polite request to get on a mailing list. It seems that some people are under the impression that they are dealing with automated file servers. That is not the case. When you send a message to an internet address like SF-LOVERS-REQUEST@RED.RUTGERS.ARPA you are dealing with a REAL PERSON, not a server. Please address them as such. To avoid confusion the file ARPANET SIGLIST (formerly ARPANET SIGLIST1 and ARPANETSIGLIST2) will soon be available on all NETSERV file servers. This new file has been updated to include correct internet addresses. In addition, all confusing references to digest archives unavailable to BITNET have been eliminated. Thanks to Jeff Kell for the news that prompted these changes. A new mail based info server: CCUC @ UMCVMB CCUC stores the program library of Info-IBMPC digest. It comes up once a day at 6am local time to process requests. Any requested files will be sent to you at that time. To request a program or set of programs, send CCUC a file named PC-LIB REQ containing the filespec of each file you want, one per line. No wildcards are allowed. Both IBM-CMS and IBM-PC type filespecs are allowed (i.e both 'COM_PKG1.ASM' and 'COM_PKG1 ASM' are valid). Each line is assumed to contain a filespec, so please don't send mail or note type files! An up to date, commented list of the Info-IBMPC library files is contained in the file PROGRAM-LIS. A CMS style file list which includes other available files and time/date stamps, is in CCUC FILELIST. Questions, complaints and suggestions regarding CCUC can be sent TO CCUC (use a filename other than PC-LIB REQ), which will forward them to the CCUC operator. Thanks to Randy Davis for the news and information.
