No actual sollution on that list, just more discussion. I do have all of
SimTelNet (msdos and gnu directories) copied from around April/May before
this came to my knowledge. Why not use a Star Wars quote: "He can see
things before they happen"
So all I need is the space to store it.

No, but we can't add to it or remove files in that case.

True, but we would probably need to add to it sooner or later.

Oh yes, the "ms" in the dos directory is the first to go. However
simtel.Net should have had it on the win3 and win9x (and winnt?) since
these are for "Microsoft Windows" and not "Windows". I can make a program
called "Windows" that opens windows and you need to close them before the
bugs get in... hmm... there's probably already some program like that (for
Microsoft Windows) don't you think? I think there should be one, but then I
think I should have a beautiful women somewhere here in my vicinty, but I
can't see one right now anyway ;-)

The way they are set up (the directories names) makes it copyrighted. We
(or probably I) need to figure out new ones. But that's not very hard.
