    When I checked a few days ago Simtel was still accessible in text
mode through ftp.  However, you have to know what you're looking for,
or be able to guess from bare names, because the 00README files giving
one liners abut every file in a directory are no longer there.  I agree
that it is a shame, because Simtel used to be such a valuable resource.
Over the years I downloaded gobs of software from there.  (The website
truly sucks big time and seems not to care about DOS anymore.)
