3964.0. "Amiga Software for Downloading" by CSCOAC::KENDRIX_J () Thu Jul 26 1990 16:46

    
    I looked, but couldn't find one of this sort...  I thought that it
    would be a good idea, if we had a note-file which was kind of a sign-in
    sheet of everyone who has a node with Amiga software on it, and doesn't
    mind people having access to it.  
     
    Please sign in your public access Amiga software node using the proper
    logical paths.  
     
    Thanks,

    Tape::user2:[Amiga...]	Lots and lots of software ( 574,777 )
    				blocks of PD software. Including the
    				Fred Fish collection disk 1 - 360 .
    
    Tape::user2:[Upload]	Area to upload PD software to before
    				it gets put into [Amiga...]. There
    				are 25,884 blocks in there now.
    
    P.S. I'm still looking for someone to help organize and move files
         from [Upload] to [Amiga...].

    CRISTA""::AMIGA:            Your basic disaster area, not unlike myself,
                                my work area, and my home planet. Most of
                                the stuff came from WJG and TAPE with a few
                                odds and sods from around the net, BBSs, etc.

    CRISTA""::PAULY:            The last known contents of PAULY"AMIGA"::
                                before she (he?) went out of service.

    FWIW, AMIGA currently equates to USER1:[PUBLIC.AMIGA] and the following
    subdirectories can be found under this with no associated logical names:

    [.DREW]                     Stuff for Steve Drew's Shell, taken from his
    [.DREW.SHELL206M]           public area. These may be way out of date.
    [.DREW.SHELL207M]	

    [.FONTS]                    The contents of the FONTS.SAV save-set that
                                can be found at various places. Recent notes
                                indicate that a few of the arc files are
                                corrupt.

    Here is my first attempt at writing something for the Vax.  I hope that
    you will find it of some use...

$ !   I got tired of having to scan over the whole network to find the 'Latest
$ !   & Greatest' out on the Net.  So, I wrote NetScan.  This is my first
$ !   attempt at writing a program for the Vax.  I learned alot, and I know it
$ !   may seem very simple to you.  But hey, it gets the job done, and it
$ !   hasn't bombed in two weeks.  The idea, is that once a day, it will scan
$ !   the network for the latest files, then send this information to you in 
$ !   in a mail message.  Then, the program goes dormant for 24 hours, then it
$ !   wakes up and does it all over again.
$ !   
$ !   To install and run, all you have to do is to change two lines, the 
$ !   mail address, and the logical path to where you want to install NetScan.
$ !   If these two things are down properly, you shouldn't have any problems.
$ !   If you suspect that you are having problems, (ie. no mail message), then 
$ !   change line # 2 of the script to log the activity.  After you make the
$ !   proper changes, you should start the process by entering 'Submit
$ !   [path]Netscan.com'.  You can check and make sure that it is still there
$ !   waiting it's appointed time by entering a 'Show Entry' command at the 
$ !   DCL prompt.   
$ !
$ !   The next edition of NetScan will keep a watchful eye on the FTP sites as 
$ !   well.  If you have any questions, I can be reached at the following:
