Yes, there surely is here at TTU!  We have around 450 (!) RB's here and I am
the main software support for the entire campus.  We mainly use our RB's for
word processing and spreadsheet work, as well as terminals to our VAX clusters.

I have a rather extensive RB public domain collection, mostly for MS-DOS,
but several CP/M programs also.  One of the best collections came from a
past DECUS meeting in Dallas; this consists of 10 or so disks of the best
software.

If you are interested in any given package or want more info, contact me as
noted below.  I would very much like the INFO-DEC-MICRO digest to return.  I
can't find any back-issues, if they even exist.  If you know where I can get
them (particularily from BITNET), let me know, please!  Any little bit helps,
and I would appreciate any info.

Also, if I can help with esoteric problems, mail me!  I will do my best, but
can't always have the answers.  I would love to hear from other RB users out
there, especially in the academic world.

For instance, I have the pinouts to hook DEC printers to IBM's and compatibles.
Anyone interested?

Thanks to all the people trying to get this thing going again.  Let's give it
our best shot, people!
