From: gerben@cs.vu.nl (Gerben Vos)
Newsgroups: comp.sys.acorn.announce,comp.sys.acorn,comp.answers,news.answers
Subject: Acorn ftp and mail-server archives (fortnightly posting)
Summary: All known Acorn-related archives on and around the Internet
Keywords: acorn,archives,ftp,mail servers,www
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 1994 02:51:55 GMT
Archive-name: acorn/archives
Last-modified: 1994-11-07
This is the regularly posted list of archive servers that contain files
related in any way to Acorn computers, i.e. the Atom, BBC, Electron,
Archimedes, R-series, PocketBook, Risc PC and maybe some even rarer types
of machines. Mainly it's about the Archimedes and Risc PC, though.
Please use an up-to-date copy of this list!
This list is maintained by Gerben Vos <gerben@cs.vu.nl> (people in the UK
may want to try the address gerben@solo.cs.vu.nl). Please mail any updates or
remarks to me, as i can't check everything by myself (though i try). Thanks to
all people who have sent me helpful information or pointers; this list
wouldn't have been what it is without your help.
There is also a list with answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the
Acorn newsgroups. It is called the "Comp.Sys.Acorn FAQ List Posting", and the
maintainer is Philip Banks <banks_p@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz>.
Up-to-date copies of this list, and of the FAQ, are, amongst others,
available at the archive site rtfm.mit.edu (18.181.0.24). Please retrieve
an up-to-date copy if you're reading this on CD-ROM or another non-volatile
medium.
The name under which a FAQ is archived appears in the Archive-name line
at the top of the article. This list is archived as acorn/archives, the FAQ
has as name acorn/faq . There's also a mail server on that machine: if you
want to retrieve the latest version of this list, send an e-mail message
to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu containing, without the quotes, the text
"send usenet/news.answers/acorn/archives" in the message body.
This list is also available on the World Wide Web as
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~gerben/acorn/acorn-archives.txt ; a hypertext version
is in the works.
General information about FTP and ftpmail services can be found in
"Anonymous FTP: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List", available in all FAQ
archives as ftp-list/faq .
This article lists the name of every interesting archive i know of, as well
as the type of files it contains, its numeric address in the case of Internet
ftp servers and Janet pads, and the email address of the maintainer, if known.
Below that follows a list of the directories to look for with a short
description of their contents.
Below the main list are three short sections which list the Acorn WWW sites,
tell you how to use Internet ftp by e-mail (using the ftpmail service), and
give information about Internet access from Janet.
When requesting files from servers, always try to use a server that is as
near as possible to you. And keep in mind that the people running these things
are doing you a favour, so please don't abuse their services.
Changes since some arbitrary time in the past (most recent ones first):
- Added several WWW pages.
- Added vela.acs.oakland.edu .

MAIL SERVERS:
=============
Format: [ABT]? email-address-of-server (email-address-of-maintainer)
For the meaning of [ABT]?, see above.
See also the section below on ftp-by-mail services.
[..T] banks_p@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz (banks_p@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz)
Section: FAQData The FAQ and Acorn machine list
Section: Public Arc documentation and informational files
Requests *must* have as subject "ServerMail" (case is important, omit the
quotes), and the body should be of the form:
Start:
[Help:]
Section: <section>
Send: <filename>
End:
Using "Section: index", you can retrieve a list of all files in all
sections. The command "Help:" will get you a help file.
This server contains FAQ-like data which isn't asked frequently enough to
post it regularly on the net. Note that this server is at the wrong end of
a 2400 baud dialup connection, so frivolous requests for large files will
not be appreciated.
[...] info-server@newcastle.ac.uk ()
The Newcastle Info Service has been closed down.
[AB.] archive-server@micros.hensa.ac.uk (pdarch@micros.hensa.ac.uk)
For directories, see under "ftp servers".
Requests are of the form:
send <filename>
You can obtain a help file using the command "help".
INTERACTIVE ACCESS:
===================

WORLD WIDE WEB:
===============
There are several WWW servers with Acorn-related stuff. If you want to know
more about the World Wide Web, i refer you to "World Wide Web Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ)", available in all FAQ archives as www/faq .
Whoa, this section looks like it's getting out of hand!

FTP-BY-MAIL SERVICE:
====================
If you can't use ftp directly, these servers can do it for you:
- ftpmail@cs.uow.edu.au
- ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com (warning: heavily overloaded!)
- ftpmail@doc.ic.ac.uk
- ftpmail@ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
- ftpmail@grasp.insa-lyon.fr
- ftpmail@ieunet.ie
- ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu
Requests for the ftpmail servers are of the form:
open <site>
cd <directory>
dir # To obtain a directory listing
get <file> # To retrieve a file
quit
Send "help" to find out more.
>From Bitnet (only), use one of these:
- bitftp@pucc
- bitftp@plearn
- bitftp@dearn
Send "help" for information on the use of this service.
INTERNET ACCESS FROM JANET:
===========================
Most Janet sites are now connected to the Internet directly, including all
archives mentioned here (so Internet users don't need a gateway anymore), but
if you are on Janet and can't use Internet ftp, try:
- sun.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk (login guestftp, password guestftp)
- ft-relay.ac.uk (using hhcp from Janet)
More information can be obtained by logging in to uk.ac.janet.news .
