This is not an exhaustive list of NeXT sources. For example, NeXT files can also be found at:\
\
uvaarpa.acc.virginia.edu (128.143.2.7)\
sutro.sfsu.edu (130.212.15.230)\
cica.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.22)\
\
For each site, you can ftp to the site by typing "ftp sitename" to the shell prompt, where "sitename" is either the string listed (such as cs.orst.edu) or the number (such as 128.193.32.1). Then log in as "anonymous", with anything as a password (or follow the instructions regarding what password to type). There is usually a file called "README", or something similar, describing the contents of the directory and the site's guidelines for submissions.\
\
See the man page for "ftp" for help with ftp commands. In particular, you'll use "ls" and "cd" to traverse the remote filesystem, and "get filename" to transfer a file to the current directory on your local machine. You should type "binary" first to receive binary files. Some files will probably be compressed (identifiable by a ".Z" extension) and/or tar'ed (a ".tar" extension). For example, after you've gotten a file named "foo.tar.Z", you'll need to type to the shell prompt:\
\
\f1\fs24 uncompress foo.tar.Z\
tar xvf foo.tar\
\
\f2\fs28 This generally creates a directory called "foo". If the file on the archive server was just called "foo.Z", type "uncompress foo.Z", and this will create a single file called "foo". For further information, see the man pages for uncompress and tar.\

Purdue provides email access to the archive server, for those without ftp access. Send a message with no text
\pard\tx620\tx1240\tx1860\tx2480\tx3100\tx3720\tx4340\tx4980\tx5600\tx6220\fc0 to archive-server@cc.purdue.edu. It will return instructions on how to get materials, such as an index of what's available. If the "From:" line in your message header will not be in Internet format (e.g. name@site.edu), include in your message a line of the form “path name@site.edu” or “path wellknownsite!yoursite!yourname@uunet.uu.net”. Note that paths of the form “name@site.bitnet” and “name@site.UUCP” won't work.\
