Hello,
Our library has a number of books which came with supplemental data
and/or information on 5.25 inch floppy disks. However, we have only one
PC which still has a 5.25 inch drive and that PC will probably be going
soon. I am interested in finding out what other libraries are doing
about 5.25 inch floppy disks as technology migrates to 3.5 inch floppy
drives. Are you copying your 5.25 inch disks to 3.5 inch disks ......
maintaining an "old technology archive" of computer equipment ......
leaving it up to the information user to find a suitable PC ... or some
other method?
Please send answers directly to me and I will summarize for the list if
others are interested.
Thanks!

Subject: telnet program with continuous print option
Hi all,
This is probably in the many-times-repeated category...I am attempting to
identify a telnet client that supports continuous print. The standard
telnet clients at my campus do not (McGill), and we have a couple of
databases (FirstSearch for one) that require that capability. Ewan,
another standby, doesn't either. I know the Novell clients do have it,
but I'm looking for something shareware if possible...
Thanks for any leads...

of Panasonic optical media. The two types are: Panasonic part number
LM 501 which is 470 MegaByte optical media and Panasonic part number LM

Please reply off-list.
