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.) ftp-os2.nmsu.edu upload information 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. -- Darrel Hankerson hankedr@mail.auburn.edu 24 January 1993
