retroarchive.org (Announcement 2)

I'm pleased to announce that, very soon, I'll be taking over the
retroarchive.org web site from Gene Buckle. The site includes
around 600 megs of files, primarily for CP/M, but increasingly
for other OS's and platforms as well.

In addition, I'm going to place the files on the regional hub so
that they can be retrieved via UUCP...to make it easier to get
them directly onto vintage machines without having to use
conversion software.

To do this, however, I may need to use another common archive
format. My concern is that alot of vintage machines may not be
able to handle zip files. Suggestions for a format?

Thanks!
