Sounds great!! Unfortunately, I have YET to get on to SIMTEL20 :-(

Is there another source on Internet that I can use?  I know of
a couple --
            wuarchive.wustl.edu
            grape.ecs.clarkson.edu
            terminator.cc.umich.edu

but I haven't seen a pc tar package (unless I'm looking in the wrong
places!)

Thanks for any info.
