I redacted the personal text files from the archive, as I said it was sent

I agree before letting go of any disks you should look and see what is on
them.
In this case there are large pieces of the UCSD source code in this archive
and I am extremely happy to have it on my site. The personal letters didn't
have anything embarassing on them but had nothing to do with what I want to
save.
When I create an archive of files or disk images I try to know what I am
archiving. I look at text files with an editor and disk images with a hex
editor. I've found lot's of goodies with a hex editor.

I've posted a copy of the UCSD CP/M adaptable
system on my site. It has a
problem with part of it:

Would you consider not using self-expanding PC executables to store
archives? You're not even using the licensed WinZip to do it.
Straight Zip files can be opened anywhere.
The Terak disk images are a fine example of why I'd personally
hesitate to upload disk images. Bill Riordan's personal letters
are among the text files perserved on the archives.
