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.
