I'll take the liberty of making a copy of my reply and posting it to
comp.archives.msdos.d because this involves several aspects that may
be of general interest to the gentle readers.

If you have seen an announcement of an upload in
comp.archives.msdos.announce, but it is no longer there, you can get
recent back issues of the digests on them for the msdos-ann mailing
list which Keith maintains.  If you need to know how, the
instructions are stored in
   3796 Dec 20 10:29 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/MSDOSANN.ZIP

>viewer to set the news standards for gif viewers (or something like that).

In fact I only copied the original upload announcement, and then
referred to it.  Thus the claim was not mine, nor does it present my
opinnions in any way.  If I copy an uploader's announcement, it has
little to do with wheteher I agree or disagree with the uploaders
views. 

>Can you tell me what it is called? (and where to get it?)

Start my looking at the recent announcements.  First check the
comp.archives.msdos.announce postings and the msdos-ann digests. 

You also might scan the filelists
 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/INDEX.ZIP
 garbo.uwasa.fi:/win31/INDEX
 wsmr-simtel20.army.mil: PD1:<MSDOS.FILEDOCS>SIMLIST.ZIP

Furthermore you can download
 garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/_files.in
to see what has been uploaded in Garbo MsDos section this month. 
The other main directories at Garbo have a similar file.

>Is there e-mail access to it? (with out ftpmail@dewcrl.dec.com ?)

If you do not have FTP capability, Garbo has an email server.  You
are welcome to ask me for the canned Garbo (29Kb) instructions. 
SIMTEL20 also is "mail served" but that is by third parties.  Please
watch out for Keith's periodic announcements of the "trickle"
servers. 

>Thanks in advance

I hope that in the long run in its generality this reply is of more
use to you, and other users trying trying to find again recent
uploads, than if I just give the exact pointer.  Besides I do not
have it readily.  I do not handle our Windows (or Mac) material at
all (if it indeed is a Windows upload you are speaking of).

Incidentally, you have a bouncing adrress so you'll only see this on
the news.  Unfortunately it also means that until you / your system
manager do something about it at your site, you cannot be able to
use our email server.
