The following is a copy of a reply to a user's questions about PC Blue
and other PD archive info.  I am forwarding it for those on this list
who may not have seen this information before.

>From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ>

    Can you direct me to annotated files that describe the contents of the
    PD1:<PC-BLUE> subdirectories?  I have been able to get such descriptions
    of that for PD1:<MSDOS>, but not for the other.

Comma-delimited lists:
Filename			Type	 Bytes	 CRC

Directory PD1:<PC-BLUE>
FILES.IDX			ASCII	530228  8E6AH <--all files, no descr.
PCB000.IDX			ASCII	106474  D4D2H <--disks 0-49
PCB050.IDX			ASCII	118657  B34EH <--disks 49-99
PCB100.IDX			ASCII	 88194  6DD7H <--disks 100-149
PCB150.IDX			ASCII	107560  9FDEH <--disks 150-199
PCB200.IDX			ASCII	155851  3A04H <--disks 200-299
PCB300.IDX			ASCII	 85646  6DF4H <--disks 300-399
PCB400.IDX			ASCII	 65678  DAD9H <--disks 400-499

In directory PD1:<PC-BLUE.VOL000> you'll find (all text files):

PC/Blue         Volume 000   Information Catalog (1-485)
name          size   description

CATALOG .SUM   29K   Summary of all released PC-Blue Volumes
PCBLUE  .CAT  330K   Listing of PC-Blue releases 001 thru 485
RELEASES.NEW    6K   Listing of latest PC-Blue releases

This directory is updated each time a new release of several disks is
received.

    I have found
    your system to be quite helpful in getting at the latest PC Magazine
    utilities.  It would be much more efficient if I could get the type of 
    annotated directory listing for the Unix, PC-BLUE, and other public
    domain/shareware directors.  Are there PD2, etc. directories available?
