The author.lst list of MsDos PD & SW authors reachable on InterNet
can be optionally read with Jeroen Schipper's ReadMail nice email,
news, and message reader garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/mail/rmail41.zip.

When you have gained some familiarity with Readmail, here is the
modify rule to use for browsing my FAQs. First call readmail, then
press the F8 key, then select rule H (or whatever letter is free in
the table) by pressing ALT-H. Use the cursor keys to go to the
fields, and then edit them. Be very careful to get the spaces right.

Modify rule [H] (revised by Keith Petersen)

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
