Info-IBMPC is a forum for technical discussion of the IBM Personal Computer and compatible micro-computers. Info-IBMPC provides a way for interested members of the ARPANET community to compare notes, ask questions, and share insights of a technical nature about these machines. While it is not primarily a consumer's guide to the IBM PC, the digest may also be useful for that purpose. Messages are collected, edited into digests and distributed as the volume of mail dictates (generally twice a week). We welcome all messages of a technical nature about IBM PCs. Messages about other topics will not be run. In addition, two topics are taboo and are routinely edited out: (1) self promotion of products for sale, and (2) anything about copy protection. Messages to the list should be addressed to Info-IBMPC at ISIB. All requests to be added to or deleted from the list, problems, etc. should be sent to Info-IBMPC-REQUEST at ISIB. Recent digests are archived in DIGESTS-85. Older digests are archived by quarter in the following files: Q3-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 77-111 Q2-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 41-76 Q1-DIGESTS-85 ; V4 # 1-40 [too big for mm, use hermes] Q4-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 91-119 Q3-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 70-90 Q2-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 36-69 Q1-DIGESTS-84 ; V3 # 1-35 Q4-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 71-104 Q3-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 40-70 Q2-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 20-39 Q1-DIGESTS-83 ; V2 # 1-19 Q34-DIGESTS-82 ; V1 # 1-34 These files can be read by MM, HERMES, and other TOPS20 mail systems. KWIC-INDEX.TXT contains a key-word-in-context index to digest articles. TOC.???85 contains a table of contents for the month ???. These files may be FTP'ed to any Arpanet/Milnet host from [ISIB] by logging in to FTP with username ANONYMOUS, password GUEST. If you're not directly on the Arpanet the files can be mailed to you, although there is a limit to the length of a message. A library of free software is maintained in [ISIB]. The list of available programs is in PROGRAM-LIBRARY.LIST. Donations of source code are eagerly welcomed (even trivial programs). Donated programs must be truly free, with no fee or contribution required or requested. To donate a program to the library, send a description of the program along with a copy of the source code to INFO-IBMPC-REQUEST.
