It appears from the charter that the .announce group is only for uploads
to garbo and simtel, or announcements by site sysops. Here's an upload
announcement for remind 3.00.01 by David F. Skoll. I have seen remarks
on the msdos groups concerning older versions of this program.

remind is a flexible text-mode reminder program (and calendar program). 
The new features include a postscript calendar option.

This program will be in pub/uploads/ until the site coordinator moves it.
Note carefully that I use OS/2, and the MSDOS bound versions are the ones
with filenames *b.exe. Info-Zip unzip 5.0 will be needed to un-archive. 
(unzip 5.0 for MSDOS is available at simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<msdos.zip>.)

I have included formatted man pages for those without access to groff. These
pages should be read with the "less" pager, available at simtel in 
pd1:<msdos.gnuish>. Or, get groff from garbo, or get cawf, a C version of 
the awf man page formatter, or get groff from ftp-os2 (untested under MSDOS)
or...

There are also 32-bit versions in the archive. These are untested under 
MSDOS. If you wish to use the 32-bit versions, you must retrieve the
emxdev.zip package from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu in pub/os2/2.0/programming/.

(EMX is a gcc-development package for OS/2 and MSDOS by Eberhard Mattes, 
author of emTeX.)

 Program: remind 3.00.01 by David Skoll
 Description: sophisticated reminder (and calendar) text-mode program
 Source: comp.sources.misc and David Skoll

 Proposed directory: os2/all/miscutils/


Notes:
1. There are OS/2 16-bit, bound OS/2 and MSDOS, and 32-bit emx-compiled
versions included. The 32-bit versions are untested under MSDOS. The 32-bit
versions require the emxdev.zip archive from pub/os2/2.0/programming/.

2. Perhaps a link needs to be created in os2/2.0/miscutils/ since 
OS/2 2.x versions are included.

3. .01 contains a new postscript-calendar feature. For additional changes,
see the WHATSNEW file.
