A new mailing list named PCSERV-L has been created. It's purpose: PCSERV-L is for the discussion of host-based tools and file servers that deal with microcomputer software. It is targeted more towards the maintainers and providers rather than the end-users. My reasons for setting up the list are mostly selfish: I've lost track of who has what version of ARCUTIL (an apparently popular program for manipulating ARC files and such), and I have an overworked public domain software server of my own in operation. Particularly after the demise of the mail interface to the public domain software archives at SIMTEL20.ARPA, a great many local and semi-public servers have been springing up around the network. Many are being developed independently with varying degrees of dissimilarity. I am hoping the PCSERV-L list will help us evolve along more similar lines, and encourage sharing of useful utility programs. Subscriptions should be sent to [log in to unmask] There is also a filelist for PCSERV-L. It has the most current version of ARCUTIL (through update U04).
