The simtel20 msdos archives are mirrored in wuarchive.wustl.edu under
directory mirrors/msdos. Everything seems to get automatically copied
there from simtel20 with a delay of a day or two. ftp access seems
a lot faster and more reliable.

Also, listserv@ucf1vm.cc.ucf.edu will automagically send you an xxencoded
copy by return mail if you mail it the message

get tcppt1 xxe turboc-l

and will send you the Turbo C source to decode it back to a zip file
if you add the line

get xxdecode c turboc-l

By the way, I discovered two small glitches in the patch file today.
The README file misspells the name of PTFNDFRS.BAT, one of the batch
files included in the zip. And the batch files attempt to check for
TLIB not being in your path and give you an intelligent error message
if it isn't, but the error check only works right under 4DOS. If you
are running COMMAND.COM and don't have TLIB in your path, you will only
get the usual "Bad command or file name" message. (You need to have TLIB
in your path to run the library patch batch files).
