I finally got a chance to talk to Jeff about this. He says he is not a member of this list but should be and will join it. The Confer files are a bit disorganized, but probably complete. He got it running but perhaps not quite the way it was intended to be installed. He needs to refresh his memory and clean things up for release.
We also have *Forum which is the replacement system used more by the people developing MTS. We also have all (or most of) the files related to the individual conferences related to MTS development.
If Jeff has the files, I'd volunteer to test them out if he has them in an .aws tape file.
Is Jeff a member of this group??

The 1996 version needs more work before we can release it. There are about 35,000 files that are either on the 1996 system or the D6 disk packs. We need to go through this list and decide which files really need to be there. There are a number of files missing and a lot of files that shouldn't be there. For example my EMail archive from 1996 probably shouldn't be included.
Jeff has the files necessary to install Confer and some instructions on how to do so. I don't think he had tried to do that yet, but I doubt that it will be hard.
The web site will be moved somewhere else. I have a copy of it but I don't know how much work it will be to relocate it.
All of these things are on my list and I'll try to make progress on at least some of them soon.

Thanks for all the effort on this.?
Is the d1996 distribution assembled for Hercules? Just wondering if you got Confer to work on it.?
I noticed the archive.michigan-terminal-system.org DNS still points to Google.? Are you going to move to another provider or stick with Google?

It is done. I have been sitting on a couple of trivial changes for it to
compile on Windows for several months now. I also feel I need to put
together some other information regarding discussions about the code to
give to Mike before he pushes it on. Sorry for the delays.

How is the Hercules HIM code coming? Are you still having some trouble
getting it to work with SDL Hercules?
