Gee, I didn't know you collected old CD archives.
I've got some WC CDs here:
"Internet USENET source code." CDs 1,2,3
C/C++ Users Group Library August 1997
"Toolkit for Linus"-2 CD set.
-------------------
Developer Source Vols. 4-10 (1995-1998); archives of source code
published in magazine form, as well as a few books. Put out by I-Mode,
Inc. Some of the later ones are still in shrink wrap--I just got too
overloaded with the information. I may have volumes 1-3, but I'm not sure.
Let me know and I'll some or all of them in your book box (they qualify
as "media mail", right?
I probably have a ton of other goodies, since I just started tossing CDs
in a big box.

For me it's just not worth the effort unless I have the right media for
it. I don't even know what the thrift shop wants for the machine. I may
be up to my neck in Kaypro hardware soon anyway... :)

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.

Very cool.

I think a version of UNZIP was written for just about every old computer
at some point or another (I know an Apple ][ version was eventually
written in the late 80s).

For the record you're saying that you have a circus and a monkey but
they're not to be used for such things, or that the Inernet Archive uses
circus monkeys. Because I think that's great, once the circus no longer
needs them that they have a home doing meaningful work.

There are three - mono.css, green.css and yellow.css.
The <!DOCTYPE html> at the top is important as well or the style sheets
won't work.

I recently started receiving the contents of a closed CP/M user group.
The collection is mostly Kaypro oriented - the first scans I've completed
are for ProFiles magazine.
I've scanned 19 issues spanning volumes 1 thru 6, with Vol5 being
completed. 25 remain in the collection yet to be scanned - I'll get to
those in the coming week or two.
I've taken this as an opportunity to reorganize the documentation section
of the retroarchive.org site a bit - It's now split between hardware &
software docs instead of being mixed together.

tnx.

A Commodore 64 can dissolve PKZIP2 files nowadays, as well as GNU zip.
In fact, .d64.gz is becoming a popular format since many emulators support
it and Gunzip64 can turn it into a nice full disk on the native system.

Thanks. I've been wanting to try that ever since the font was relased,
but my css-fu wasn't up to the task. :)
