Sat 21-May-94: Well sometimes it just happens that when you have
released an information list, you'll have to update it almost
immediately when new interesting information comes in. Thus I have
updated anew the list of MsDos FTP sites after the OAK direcory
information was updated, and a comprehensive item about ftp.sunet.se
came in. The update is

Thu 19-May-94: I got the following programs from the author Bob
Berry through the arrangement we have with Keith Petersen

Unfortunately, while according to the author thousands of users have
reported no problems, I am experiencing severe crashes on two of my
different PCs. Hence I have decided to retain the following
versions. Furthermore, although it is a matter of taste, I am not
comfortable with the the installation process and the way it places
the batches on the disk. Perhaps it is also partly due to the fact
that I have a personal preference to .zip packages that contain the
individual files, rather than what is effectually a self-extracting
file put into a .zip envelope. That method has recently been
adopted by several program authors.
Don't get me wrong, though, Bob's programs are fine products. And
we are still looking into this together.

Mon 16-May-94: There is again a new, tight archiver in circulation.
It is still a beta-test version, but it looked so interesting that I
decided to make an exception to Garbo's rule of not taking beta-test
material.

At the same time got
26658 May 7 01:13 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/arcers/rar140dc.rar
rar140dc.rar English documentation for the RAR archiver, R.Burton-West
Originally this document file was uploaded in a self-extracting
format, but with the natural exception of actual archivers I do not
wish to carry any self-extracting files on Garbo. After taking a
closer look at the principal program rar1_402.exe, I decided that it
is intuitive enough to allow using rar format for the document.
Again, usually we only use the zip format, but this makes another
natural exception.
