Re-announcing CICA-L with subscription information following!! CICA-List is a program that runs and gets a list of the files in the uploads directory at ftp.cica.indiana.edu, the definitive ftp site for Windows 3.X programs. The program separates the new files from the old files, and then goes back to the site to get the new text files. Once all the files are received, the program packages it up in one message... 1) a message of the day - keeps you up to date on new information about CICA and about CICA-L. 2) A list of the new files in the pending.uploads directory (.txt files) and their size. 3) The actual text files from the pending.uploads directory. 4) A list of the files that have been moved since the previous day from the uploads directory to the appropriate directory of the archive itself. This service is designed to allow users to keep abreast of the new programs available at cica, without ftp'ing there everyday. The list was created out of frustration at not being able to keep up with the new files at CICA and consequently getting the INDEX once a month, printing it out and going through it for files that looked interesting. As of this writing there are more that 2000 subscribers to CICA-L and it continues to grow at a steady pace. This scan is provided by a script that was written by me and is distributed via the listserv software used around the world. +-+ If you would like to subscribe to CICA-List, please send mail to listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu with the following characteristics... in the Subject line: anything you want in the body: subscribe cica-l First Last where First is your first name and Last is your last name.
