Has anyone had any success using Automatic File Distribution (AFD) or
File Update Information (FUI) with the files at canada01?  I would like
to start using Uniterm (since it seems it has finally surpased FLASH
by leaps and bounds) and given the prolific nature of Simon I would
like to be automatically informed when a new version is posted to the
canada01 archives.

The listserver @ canada01 can automatically send you updates when a file
is 'updated' in the prog-a16 archive, or it can just send you mail
telling you that the file has been updated.  However, I have noticed
that some people just create a new entry in the library whenever a
new version arrives and that undermines this process (since you must
sign-up for particular 'prog-a16 xx-xxxxx').

If we can get some consistency in our submissions to these archives
we can expedite the distributions of these wonderful tools into the
ST Community.  [How much mail have you seen from people asking about
the latest version of Uniterm? "Is it out?",  "What is the latest
version number?", "Where can I get it?", ...]

For more information on this listserver function, get Document Number
U01-006-B-0 (or some later version) by sending the one line message
"Info AFD" to listserv@canada01.bitnet.

cheers,
