            WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL is a 4MW DECSYSTEM-20 Model 2065 host
            owned  and  operated by the US Army Information Systems Com-
            mand, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

            It supports three disk  structures,  named  PD1:,  PD2,  and
            PD3:,  containing  public  domain, shareware, documentation,
            and mail archives with  the  following  top-level  directory
            names:

            Except for HZ100, INFO-IBMPC, CPM, and PCNET, each of  these
            top-level directories contain at least one or more subdirec-
            tory levels.  The syntax to reference a file in one  of  the
            collections is:

                           PDn:<top-dir.sub-dir>file.type

            Each top-level directory contains several files with  common
            names:

                 FILES.IDX - a comma-separated entry for  each  file  in
                 the collection

                 top-dir.CRCLST - a CRC listing of each file

                 top-dir.ARC - an ARC format version of top-dir.CRCLST

                 top-dir.DIRLST - a quick-reference list of the  sub-dir
                 names

            All the files are accessible via ANONYMOUS FTP.  However the
            number of simultaneous ANONYMOUS FTP jobs is limited by time
            of day and day of week to provide reasonable network perfor-
            mance  for  our  paying  customers  as  well  as  for  those
            ANONYMOUS users who do get in.  The ANONYMOUS  login  direc-
            tory  contains several files containing detailed information
            on the collections in general as well as files  specific  to
            certain collections.

            The MSDOS and  CP/M  collections  are  maintained  by  Keith
            Petersen,  who  makes periodic announcements of new releases
            to the INFO-IBMPC and INFO-CPM mailing lists, respectively.

            The Ada, STARS, and VHDL collections are  maintain  by  Rick
            Conn who announces new releases to the ADA-SW mailing list.

            The UNIX-C collection is  maintained  by  Dave  Curry,  with
            monthly announcements to the UNIX-SW mailing list.

            The MACINTOSH Collection is maintained  by  Bob  Thum,  Stan
            Sobczynski,  and John Mitchener, based on announcements made
            on several Macintosh-related mailing lists.

            The PC-BLUE and SIGM collections  are  maintained  by  their
            respective  organizations  and updated as new volumes become
            available.

            Each of the mailing lists mentioned above  have  administra-
            tive    addresses   of   the   form   listname-REQUEST@WSMR-
            SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL to take requests for  additions,  changes,
            and deletions to the lists.
