[From Bill Powers (921208.1500)]
No comments on a lot of interesting mail. Don't take it personally --
I'm trying to get a number of projects done. I'll get around to some of
them later. Fortunately there are lots of competent commentators out
there.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I have posted three files to Bill Silvert's server. As Bill is out of
town until Jan 2, I have put them in pub/public, which is apparently the
only place to which files can be uploaded. Bill, I presume, will move
them later to pub/csg/programs/source.
These files are a preliminary version of Wolfgang Zocher's "SIMCON".
They can all be transmitted as ASCII files.
simcon3.c C source code with writeup
simcon3.uue uuencoded, self-extracting zipped runnable version. You
need uudecode to read it, then when you execute it (simcon.exe),
it expands into simcon3.exe for real. Discard everything but the
latter.
simcon3.txt A writeup on how to use SIMCON. This is also in the
C source code.
I discovered that I can't upload binary files to my local mainframe, so
all machine-language files are going to have to be uuencoded. Bummer.
You get onto Silvert's machine with
ftp biome.bio.ns.ca
login anonymous <your email address>
after login is done,
cd pub/public
dir
That will show you the list of files.
Type
GET <filename>
After prompt, enter local file name (name for file on your mainframe).
From there on you need to know how to download from your local machine.
If you can't use FTP and want the files from me, send $1000 and a
stamped self-addressed disk mailer with a formatted disk in it, and I
will copy the programs and send them to you. I might even do it without
the cash. I won't do it without the mailer, disk, and postage. Bill
