Jim,

Perhaps you misread what I wrote.  The collections will remain here as
well as access to them.  What we were forced to drop is contracted
maintenance of the Ada, MSDOS, and CP/M collections, i.e., keeping
them current.  In fact the maintainer of the Ada collection has
volunteered to continue maintaining that collection on his own.  The
CP/M collection has been fairly static for quite some time.  It is the
high volume of turnover in the MSDOS collection that will be a problem
to keep current.  We already have a part-time volunteer to help, but
without Keith Petersen, it will not be the same.

To paraphrase Mark Train, the reports of the death of SIMTEL20 are
greatly exaggerated.
