If anyone knows of any other mirrored archives of Simtel20, please let me know and I'll add them to this generic response. Thanks. yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's a big list, but if he has questions about ARC, he'll probably have more later. And there's a lot of information here that everyone might find useful.
