Message-ID: <2568@brl-tgr.ARPA> Date: Tue, 29-Oct-85 15:46:28 EST Article-I.D.: brl-tgr.2568 Posted: Tue Oct 29 15:46:28 1985 Date-Received: Fri, 1-Nov-85 01:16:09 EST Sender: news@brl-tgr.ARPA Lines: 26 This message is to announce the creation of a new mailing list, UNIX-SW. The purpose of this list is to create a vehicle for announcing the availablity of new major packages of UNIX / 'C' language software on the SIMTEL20 repository. This list will also be used to mail periodic updates of the list of all UNIX software held at SIMTEL20 (probably monthly). UNIX-SW is not a forum for discussion of this software. Such discussions are more appropriately held with the authors, or in other groups. Rather, we are attempting to make known to the widest possible audience the contents of this large repository of public-domain software. SIMTEL20 is a DEC-20 machine running the TOPS20 operating system, located at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The machine is a host on the Defense Data Network (DDN), and as such, gives users located on other hosts the capability of directly transferring this software via the FTP (file transfer process) command. Requests to be added to the mailing list, and administrative questions, should be directed to: UNIX-SW-REQUEST@SIMTEL20 Susan TabronAMC LSSA Chambersburg, PA 17201 -------
