FTP SITES AND MAIL SERVERS
There is no general archive of rec.games.frp postings. However, several
people maintain public-access archives of interesting and/or generally
useful material as a courtesy to their fellow netters. In addition to
archived articles, some of these archive sites offer articles which are
never posted to rec.games.frp. If you want to find these articles you
will have to use an archive server of some sort.
THANKS
Thanks go to Adam Dray, adray@mcs.kent.edu, who has checked these sites and
more. He has some periodic postings which appear in r.g.f.archives.

FTP Archives
------------
Anonymous FTP archives can be accessed from Unix machines on the
Internet by typing ftp <address>, where <address> is either an Internet
address or a routing number. At the "Name:" prompt, type "anonymous"; at
the "Password:" prompt, type your userid or "guest" (or something
equally thoughtful). For further information on ftp, check the
documentation at your site or consult a local guru.
Users at non-Internet sites (especially those on BITNET/Netnorth/EARN)
may want to try the BITNET FTP server at Princeton. To obtain directions
on the use of the server, send a mail file containing the line
HELP
to BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET. An alternative is the ftpmail service at
decwrl.dec.com. Again send a message containing the one line
help
to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.

designed cooperatively by the readers of rec.games.frp.
It's available in the Andrew File System under
/afs/athena.mit.edu/project/tabolport.

project, has graduated and no longer has net access. Freeland
K. Abbott, the semi-official administrator, can be reached at

at MIT, Freeland has also put a set of the Tabolport files in
a publicly-accessible locker named "tabolport".)

AD&D 2nd Edition character generator (written by John Roy
<roy@ics.uci.edu>) and some postscript character sheets.(Thanks
to Mark Nagel (nagel@ics.uci.edu) for setting this up.)
Archive sites are also set up for the LaTeX versions of the
Navero saga:

are needed to create some of the graphics contained in the
files. It is described fully in the readme file.

Info Updated: 28-Feb-1994
Notes: Multi-Player Games Network (MPG-Net) is proud to present.....
The Resurrection of the Greyhawk FTP Site!!!!
The files from the former Greyhawk site have been relocated
to a FTP site maintained by MPG-Net.
Limited Number of sessions for anonymous FTP.
Uploading: Certainly! All that we ask is that the material you offer
to be placed on the archive not violate any copyright
restrictions or other distribution laws and agreements.
Contributions can be placed in the "/incoming" directory
where they will be moved to an appropriate place in the
archive as soon as possible. Also, it might be a good
idea to drop a note to ftp-maint@MPGN.COM explaining what
the file contains.
Note that files placed in the "/incoming" directory are not
immediately available for retrieval. This is for three
reasons: 1) To scan for inappropriate content or viruses;
2) To prevent the use of our disk space as a rendezvous for
illicit material and 3) To watch for copyrighted material.
While MPG-Net will attempt to scan binaries for viruses, they
are by no means guaranteed to be virus free. You should, for
your safety, assume that the files have not been checked for
the presence of viruses.
Ex-Greyhawk: This site contains most of the organized AD&D-related material
posted to rec.games.frp. The files are stored either in their
natural form or as tar archives. The archive currently
contains the UCR Guildsman, various versions of the net
spellbooks, character sheets, and hex graph paper, Alpha's
Spells, the Elf's Gamebook, the Net Monster Manual, the
Penultimate MU Spell List, the Spell Description Language, and
the WATSFIC Tournament.

Quoting Mike Suzio (the maintainer):
I'm hoping to make this site a Champions archive, since potemkin
gets so little traffic, and I *know* there should be at least
a few people out there with ideas for champions.
Oh - I'm asking that all uploads be accompanied by a text file
explaining what they are (especially with binaries; I don't have
the time to run everything to find out what it is), and that
you send me (msuzio@tiamat.umd.umich.edu) mail before uploading
anything over 2 megs or so, just as a courtesy. Thanks.
