Actually I did the same thing a few years ago. Keith then gave the secrets
for usenet access to simtel.
I had deposited quite a few pieces of S/W to the Simtel CP/M archive, but
at one point the programs I mailed Keith were bouncing, and I could no
longer get them deposited.
However, since then, I've been IBM pc-klone'd, and married. So, I'm not
so interested in CP/M anymore, and I've less time to generate software.
I still have my CP/M system however (albeit with only 256K of it's former
1-Meg left -- the PC has the DRAM chips now), and can transfer files to
my PC.
I could still rummage around some weekend and find a pile of
never-distributed programs (some pretty neat and useful, and some like my
Unix compatible 16-bit uncompress were neat, but not useful) that I
generated, but I'm not sure if my mail connection to Keith has been
"fixed" -- and I have no convenient way to distribute them otherwise.
Nor, am I entirely sure I remember which were deposited and which
weren't. :-)
Alas....
P.S. - It takes no time at all to go from knocking your head on the 64K limit
to knocking your head on the ~640K "limit". Sigh.
