Regulars will know that we have been mirroring the Simtel file
collection for many years.

Some time ago there was a breakaway of the old SIMTEL-20 file
collection that was originally held on the White Sands Missile Site
and known as SIMTEL-20.

The result was two archives which became known as Coast and SimtelNet.

The former was built from the original Simtel archives, the latter was
a new collection, but maintained by the original archivist.

Whilst we have been holding both of these archives despite the
duplication of a large number of files, regular visitors will have
noted the the Coast collection has been in a state of limbo for some
nine months now. Sadly it appears that the home site is now
permanently dead and will not reappear.

We have therefore decided to remove the Coast mirror from our server
to free up space for other files.

All the files in the Coast mirror are now at least 9 months old and
newer or duplicate versions of most of them can be found in the
SimtelNet of Garbo mirrors on our sever.

I will therefore be removing the Coast collection from our server on
this coming Wedneday unless there are some strong arguments for
retaining it. [Sunsite still hold a copy, though how long they will do
so I can not say. Most other mirror sites have already deleted their
copies]
