However, severalπpeople maintain public-access archives of interesting and/or generallyπuseful material as a courtesy to their fellow netters. In addition toπarchived articles, some of these archive sites offer articles which areπnever posted to rec.games.frp. If you want to find these articles youπwill have to use an archive server of some sort.ππ THANKSπThanks go to Adam Dray, adray@mcs.kent.edu, who has checked these sites andπmore. He has some periodic postings which appear in r.g.f.archive.ππContents:ππ Tabolport archiveπ Navero archiveπ The Guildsman (an amateur zine) archiveπ The ADnD ftp site at tybaltπ AD&D ftp and AFS site at Stanfordπ** White Wolf ftp archive siteπ Traveller-Vehicles ftp siteπ Champions archiveπ The Jayhawk series archive sitesπ FTP server at iesd.auc.dkπ** Tiamat ftp siteπ** RuneQuest Digest archive siteπ** Garfield.catt.ncsu.eduπ** FTP.FUNET.FIπ GRASS-SERVERπ ADND-L FILELISTπ** Australian FRP Archiveππ πFTP Archivesπ------------ππAnonymous FTP archives can be accessed from Unix machines on theπInternet by typing ftp <address>, where <address> is either an Internetπaddress or a routing number. At the "Name:" prompt, type "anonymous"; atπthe "Password:" prompt, type your userid or "guest" (or somethingπequally thoughtful). For further information on ftp, check theπdocumentation at your site or consult a local guru.ππUsers at non-Internet sites (especially those on BITNET/Netnorth/EARN)πmay want to try the BITNET FTP server at Princeton.
