The first paragraph of SIMTEL-ARCHIVES.INFO has been amended to read: There is a collossal amount of free public domain software for the CP/M, PCDOS/MSDOS, Macintosh, and UNIX operating systems, and for the DoD standard programming language, Ada, in several archives on WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL (IP host number 26.0.0.74), a DECsystem-20 running the TOPS-20 operating system at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Archives of correspondence for several newsgroups are also available. ----- While I was at it, I added New Mexico because I got some questions from people asking where WSMR is located.
