Is the MBOOT program (preferably, the whole vol10n04 archive) available
anywhere besides CompuServe yet?  This is a program which takes over the
boot record of a disk and allows the user to choose an operating system/
setup from a menu at boot-time.  Note that this is NOT the same as the
BOOTANY program recently posted; that one let you pick the partition from
which to boot (one OS/setup per partition), whereas this program allows
you to have 4 different OS's on the same boot disk (e.g., DOS 3.3, DOS
4.0, OS/2 1.2, DOS/Windows3).  I would dearly love to get my mitts on
this...I will personally e-mail a chocolate chip cookie to whomever uploads
the dude to Simtel/wuarchive.  :-)

On a completely different topic, several people have been complaining 
about cbip being quiet; the problem is with your sites, not cbip.  The
first few parts of gcc/g++ were recently posted (the other 32 parts are
still out there somewhere, but it's a start), and just today the first
four or six pieces of some 11-parter came in (I don't remember what it
was, but it wasn't very interesting).  And, of course, there's always
the Japanese group fj.binaries.msdos--they just posted a Tek4014 plotter/
emulator or something...
