Let me know if you are interested in sources, as I usually have those as well, but in various places. Nice bunch of stuff you have :) I am trying to peek at it a little bit, but it seems the permissions are not set up to allow "public" access: dir mim::du:[4,54]dob.* %DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening MIM::DU:[4,54]DOB.TSK;1 as input -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation GUEST account doesn't work either: dir mim"guest guest"::du:[4,54]dob.* %DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening MIM"guest password"::DU:[4,54]DOB.TSK;1 as input -RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation (I'm trying to access from a VAX/VMS system running RSX). Oww. Crap. I tightened security many years ago when I found that some people were trying to download the whole RSX distribution from MIM over kermit... I'll fix that access to [4,54] right away.

People are trying to do that? Locally or from far away? That's a heck of a lot of things to download. And from what I've seen with this discussion quite a mess. I noticed it happening many times. Where they originated from I don't know. No trivial way of finding out. But yeah. I found out since I noticed people running kermit for hours, sucking cpu and bandwidth. And checking what they were transferring, it was just about everything. Some had just done a GET [*]*.*, others have been creative enough to setup virtual disks, or univeral libraries, to transfer a few really large files. MIM, and MAGICA before that, have been a public service on the internet for about 20 years now...
