SIG/M appears to have published 100s of volumes of CP/M software. A cursory search does not turn up an archive of these disks.
Are they out there?

Cheers,

P.S. Can a mod fix the typo in the subject line :) Poor OCR

though if you have a fast enough connection, you may want to download the entire CD from http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org/ Look for the little CD at the bottom right of each description panel. The one you want takes 346 MB.

Thanks for that. Not easy to find. You have to know to look for the SIMTEL archive and that the SIMTEL archive was then put on a Walnut Creek CD-ROM.
Even now knowing where to look it hard to construct a Google search because http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org is blocking indexing with a noindex meta tag.

I was given 4 large boxes of 8" diskettes holding the entire SIG/M collection. I've already been able to fill in some missing bits for Larry Kraemer. If you find anything further that's MIA give me a PM and I'll dig for it.

were you going to image the entire set?

No, since AFAIK 95% or better has already been imaged and made available on the web. But, to the extent that things are found to be missing or damaged I'd be more than glad to fill in the blanks. There are hundreds of diskettes there, representing a number of other archives besides SIG/M. I suppose I should at least attempt to catalog it.
