Hello,

I've noticed that on St*rd*t there has been a number of recent stuff about 
Viewdata - explains the number of increased connections to CCl4 itself.

I don't like forums, and attempting to "join" seems to have failed and 
even the whole setup they have seems braindead.

But, none-the-less, I feel like going on a scanning and source code spree 
from that era.

Attached is the front page for the official CET Telesoftware spec - I 
couldn't find it but is this already available ? I can't remember what I 
gave Rob a few years ago.

I also have the Prestel IP guide, various Micronet mags and Comms Plus and 
some other stuff - so not strictly Viewdata, but "BBS" - which to be 
honest was in this country pre-Fidonet days was BBCs (and Electron, 
briefly I ran one).

Software wise, I have what I origanlly wrote for the Electron to log in to 
Prestel (Communico) and was going to be released by ACP/PRES but didn't 
happen - Mode 2 with a half character set.

Plus lots of other stuff.

I will collate, but what is the best place for this to be - my feeling is 
viewdata.org.uk, but others may be interested.

Thanks.
