OK, I just tried hopping over to simtel to take a look at their archives.
However, I am somewhat stumped as to how I can get to the directories of
interest.

When I'm logged in, I can list out a number of help files and directory
listing files, but that's it.  When I looked at simtel20-msdos.dirlist.8,
I got:

"Quick reference list of SIMTEL20's PD1: directories
 as of November 28, 1988 (where 'x' is one of the names below):
 ..."

But I couldn't get to any of the directories!
   cd pd1:msdos.database
   pd1
   cd msdos.database
   ...etc
--all failed.

I feel like I am missing something obvious, but I don't know what.  I
have ftp'd to many different sites, but this is a new one to me.

Can someone please e-mail to me how I can get to the directories of
interest on simtel???  Some of the stuff listed looked pretty interesting!!

Thanks in advance,
--Cindy
