            FILES.IDX        comma-delimited entries for each file
            top-dir.CRCLST   a CRC listing of each file
            top-dir.ARC      an ARC format version of top-dir.CRCLST
            top-dir.DIRLST   a quick-reference list of the sub-dir names


            The syntax to reference a file in one of the collections is:

               PDn:<top-dir.sub-dir>file.type

            The files  in  the  above  collections  are  accessible  via
            ANONYMOUS  FTP.  The ANONYMOUS login directory holds several
            files containing detailed information on the collections  in
            general as well as files specific to certain collections.

            The MSDOS, MISC, and  CP/M  collections  are  maintained  by
            Keith  Petersen (W8SDZ), who makes periodic announcements of
            new releases to the INFO-IBMPC and INFO-CPM mailing lists.

            The UNIX-C and LINUX-OS collections are maintained  by  John
            Pliler   (JPLILER),   with  periodic  announcements  of  new
            releases made to the UNIX-SW mailing list.

            The MACINTOSH Collection is maintained by Bob Thum  (RTHUM),
            Stan  Sobczynski  (STAN),  and  John Mitchener (JMITCHENER),
            based on announcements  made  on  several  Macintosh-related
            mailing lists.

            The CPMUG, SIGM, ZSYS, HZ100, Ada, STARS, and  VHDL  collec-
            tions  are no longer actively maintained and are offered as-
            is.

            Each  mailing  list  mentioned  above  have   administrative
            addresses     of     the     form     listname-REQUEST@WSMR-
            SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL to take requests for  additions,  changes,
            and deletions to the lists.
