mime64.exe
By Horst Mohr

Hello Jody,

the mime.zip you found must be the right one.
A friend sent me mime64.zip uudecoded. I did
uudecode and got mime64d.zip. Unzipped it and
got mime64.exe.

BTW If you once have some time send me rolls.c from Wayne Stahnke please.

With my best regards, Horst¶

 [ Horst,
 [
 [ I'm glad to see you are getting your e-mail once again.  We
 [ finally figured out what was happening:  A US company called
 [ "Decatur Electronics" had the misfortune to register a mail
 [ forwarding record for "de.com".  Unfortunately, many US based
 [ mailers try appending ".com" onto the end of e-mail addresses
 [ and unwittingly forward the mail, incorrectly, to Decatur Electronics'
 [ forwarding machine.  I would guess that a lot of mail was sent
 [ there by mistake.  Fortunately, that machine would re-forward the
 [ mail, correctly, to Germany.  On February 28, the machine forwarding
 [ Decatur Electronic's mail disappeared from the Internet.  My mailer,
 [ and I'm sure many others, waited patiently to send their Germany-bound
 [ mail to the now missing machine.  I have added a special "adjustment"
 [ to my mailer.  Others in the US may have better luck if they put a period
 [ on the end of e-mail addresses:
 [
 [                e.g.   mohr@nemeter.dinoco.de.
 [
 [ Thanks for confirming the mime64.zip file.
 [
 [ The rolls.c file of Wayne's is "hidden" in the FTP archive inside
 [ a zip file:
 [              ftp://ftp.foxtail.com/pub/automatic-music/misc/barneyg.zip
 [
 [ I'll send you the .c file in a separate message
 [
 [ Jody
