Completely escaped my notice, but last September was *HUMONGOUS*’s 10th Anniversary.
I’ve finally completed my clean up of the SIG/M disks. I focused on four things: complete, clean, uncorrupted, and "original”.
None of the known sources had all volumes; many of the filenames were corrupted; and several hundred files didn’t match their CRCs.
I’ve cleaned out all of the accretions (e.g., WILDCAT.BBS), restored "illegal" characters in filenames, and fixed all but a handful of the CRC problems.
My goal was to produce something as close to "original" as possible.
The collection is available in LRB, ARK and IBM-3740 disk image formats at http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.…tware%2FUserGroups%2FSIGM.
I’ve encapsulated everything into a BASH shell script which is available at github.com/cpmarchives.
Have a look there if you’re interested in all the details, or you can run the script to recreate everything yourself.
