- hi; following up to myself, but hey - if no-one else is here, who's to object - or be scandalised? > > - demon did not release a y2k bug-fixed version of their > dos 'net suite (KA9Q, SNews & PCElm plus a front end tying > them together) 'til the fifty-ninth minute of the eleventh > hour (or some time very close thereunto). [.. ..] > > - demon/thus plc have recently junked their ftp server, and > the ftp.demon.co.uk site no longer exists; aught that was > uniquely available from it is presumably lost, unless it has > been kept privately: i can provide the last, y2k bug-fixed > version of the executable (DIS221.EXE), - slight correction; this is the last _full_, y2k bug-fixed version of the self-extracting DOS 'net suite, (DIS221.EXE): it includes SNews, Simple News, which someone at demon/thus plc removed from the very last version on the late lamented ftp.demon.co.uk, as well as PCElm, the KA9Q-based NOS and the front end that ties them all together; > but not the source - - this remains the case, alas; > and i probably do not have enough room left on my web-site to > make it again available by ftp on a long-term basis... - however, i've deleted sufficient length of file to make room for it: http://www.i-m-t.demon.co.uk/dis/dis221.exe - i hope it proves of interest - even useful? - to someone... - eventually... - love, ppint.
