I have seen a lot of posts like this lately so I thought it was a good
idea to bring this up again.

All of the information of 28 and 48's from the last two years that I have
collected is avaiable from my mail server.  I believe I have
more files than any of the FTP sites.  I have not checked funet.fi
lately so I don't know.  I am sorry that I cannot also make the
files available by FTP.

I have:
HP28 remote control program
All of the CHIP-48 stuff
the morse code program
the Saturn Processor notes 
in all ~3 megs of stuff (mostly compressed)

Best of all since it uses mail, every one can get to it.

Here is the standard file on how to use the server:


How to reach Wayne's Mail Server
--------------------------------
To request files for your HP-48 or HP-28 you can send command my mail
to my mail server.

Mail commands to:  wscott@ecn.purdue.edu
Mail Subject: HP-MAIL-SERVER     <--If you don't the mail will come to me.

The server will mail responses to the Reply-To: header on your mail.  If 
not found, the From: field will be used.  If you want to overide this path
put this command in the message:
	path <your address> 

To get help:
	send HELP

The HP-48 files are used by default.  To reach the HP-28 files include:
	HP28

To get an index of files:
	send INDEX

If you have any other problems send me mail.  (Same address, different
subject)  I hope you enjoy the server.

Wayne Scott
