Dear Father Celoni,

The AUG users group disk is in AR0:JCAF; on MIT-MC if that is a help.

@larsbrinkhoff Do you know if there is any (simple, low-effort, doesn't require bothering people) way to see what files might have previously been publicly available from MIT-MC? I strongly believe that 3rdparty/aug/files has everything already, but knowing for sure would be nice.

JCAF; AR0 AUG is an archive with these files:

@larsbrinkhoff Thanks for looking, this answers the question!

I reviewed the mailing list archives we have, and to make things available, Frank Wancho would copy them to SIMTEL20 MICRO:<CPM.AMETHYST> and this became the primary distribution point in 1984.

Turns out I have AUG.ARCH (1982-01-05). I'll parse it and put it in the right place here. However, it still doesn't go all the way back to the beginning of AMETHYST-USERS - but, it starts in May of 1981.

I verified and we have all the other files as well, in 3rdparty/aug/files.

So, that answers the question as regards to MIT-MC.

Thank you for checking.

I have allocated an area in the MC:CPM; directory for Public Domain
ONLY code which anyone may wish to contribute.  When uploading or
FTPing a file (from a non-ITS site), simply specify AR9;CPM;fn1 fn2,  
where fn1 and fn2 may each be up to six characters.  Then send a   
msg to this list telling us what the name of the file is and its
function.                                                       
                
Do NOT include whole pieces of code already available on the
Amethyst distribution disks.  Rather send directions for updating
or modifying the code, OR original code.  In other words, don't
leave entire files around that are already available on the disks.

(Didn't realize how early SIMTEL was very much a manual endeavor.)
