@Man here, your friendly Geoworks FTP archive maintainer.  I've got some
good news, and some bad news.  What do you want to hear first?


The bad news?

The bad news is that I can no longer maintain the Geoworks archive.  In
fact, it is probably going to go away sometime soon.  Sniff.

Are you ready for the good news?

Are you sure?

The good news is that, as some of you may have noticed, I have uploaded
everything in the Geoworks archives, images, fonts, and all, to
Simtel20, and by the magic of networks, daemons, and small filenames,
onto all the mirror sites as well.  This means that the files are now
not only available for anonymous FTP from multiple locations world-wide,
but are also available via various email servers!  Hurrah!

If you have new files, contact Keith Petersen,
w8sdz@tacom-emh1.army.mil, the Simtel20 archive maintainer, to arrange
an upload.

To download files from simtel20 via anonymous FTP, use FTP to connect to
Simtel20 [192.88.110.20], cd to PD1:<MSDOS.GEOWORKS>, turn on binary
mode, and snarf away.

For information on using FTP, using the trickle/earn/bitnet/whatever
servers, consult the comp.os.msdos.archives newsgroup, or ask someone
who appears to be knowledgeable.

Finally, if you have a CD ROM drive, you may know that the Simtel20
archives are available on CD ROM, updated quarterly.  I would guess that
the Geoworks files will all be on the next edition of the disc.  They
are damn cheap, $25 for hundreds of megabytes of data.  For further
information, see the alt.cd-rom FAQ.

I hope all the donators of files keep uploading to simtel20.  Once you
get the directions from Keith, it's just as easy as uploading them to
ecst.csuchico.edu was.
