Archive-name: mac/archive-sites/mac.archive.umich.edu/newfiles.txt Hello! I've just gotten done adding about 15 or so files (they're the ones at the bottom of this list... jb added the others) on this typical January Saturday in Michigan (muddy, rainy, foggy, wierd).... Most of these files are updates of older versions, so you might want to look through the list and see if there's a new version that might replace something old on your hard drive! There are updates for BBEdit, AutoDoubler, MacGhostScript and GateKeeper. There are also a couple LPR/lpd utilities in here (there's been quite a thread going through some UseNet newsgroups about these. I'm happy we can be one of the places where you can find these goodies!). In a couple weeks, I hope to have excellent news concerning our currently very limited ftp service (so be patient). Don't forget to use AFS access instead of ftp if you have it, and our Gopher server never has any limits -- just Gopher to the machine "gopher.uis.itd.umich.edu" and look in the "Special Topics" section. Both Sumex and our archives can be found. To get submissions to us, you can ftp the files (or "cp" them via AFS) into our incoming directory, or you can e-mail the files to "macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu". If you e-mail the files, they will be automatically redistributed to the Info-Mac archives, Comp.Binaries.Mac, and some other archives across the ocean (so please include some header text describing what it is that you're mailing us). Thanks! And have fun with our excellent archive! mike@mac.archive.umich.edu -------------------------- /mac/game/board/lineup2.01.cpt.hqx 98 1/19/93 BinHex4.0,Compact1.33 Connect Four.
