The atari.archive.umich.edu "Just the 'faqs' faq" - an Umich Atari Posse Product

(This is really old and needs to be placed.  -JW 26/4/94)

Recent changes are marked with a *

This faq has been revamped to provide just the "faqs", less talk 
and more rock.  Ready?

1.  How the hell do I get to atari.archive?

    By order of preference:
    1.  AFS (if you don't know what it is, you don't have it, forget I
	mentioned it). In /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/atari.

    2.  Gopher (Other gophers/North America/USA/Michigan/Merit/Software
 *      Archives or Popular Gopher Servers/Software Archives at Michigan).

    3.  FTP - Be sure to check for mirrors that are closer to home. For
	instance src.doc.ic.ac.uk (/computing/systems/atari/umich) and
	wuarchive.wustl.edu (/mirrors/archive.umich.edu/atari).
 *      wustl ran out of disk space and hasn't been keeping all of 
	us there.  Please avoid it until they fix their problem.

    4.  Mail - Send mail to atari@atari.archive.umich.edu with a body
	of help for the help file.  Questions about BART to 
	brode@atari.archive.umich.edu


2.  Uploads?

    You bet we want 'em.  Via afs, cp into /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive
    /atari/New.  Via ftp, ftp into atari/New (will not work at mirrors).
    Via gopher, impossible, see mail.  By mail,  uuencoded chunks to
    weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu.


3.  Sacrifices in our honour?

    You bet.  Small children and farm animals only please.


4.  Why the hell do things take so long to get from New to the
    archive?

 *  Come on, things haven't been that bad lately, have they?


5.  I'm completely confused by this post, who can clarify it for me?

    I'll do my best, weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu.  If that don't work,
    weiner@terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu.  If that don't work, 
    weiner@stat.umn.edu.  If that don't work, weiner@beryl.labmed.umn.edu.
    If that don't work, Jeff Weiner 414 Erie St SE #14, Mnpls, MN 55414.

 *  Although note that I will be on vacation from June 14 to July 5.
    Look out Europe, here I come!
Good night,
