-
- Announcing the Rec.Games.Video.Arcade file servers !
-
- There are two major r.g.v.a. ftp sites ... please use these as FAQ
- maintainers (and archive keepers) do NOT like getting LOTS of email
- asking for copies of their stuff. Please respect their wishes and
- use the proper processes for getting these FAQs.
-
-
- FTP
- ===
-
- There is an ftp site for RGVA information. It is located at wiretap.spies.com.
- Look in the game_archive directory. There are currently directories for the
- cheat sheet (cheatList), a directory for the KLOV (gameList), a directory
- for repair hints (repairHints), and a directory for all the games hints sheets.
- As well as a bunch of other stuff.
-
- Andy Eddy, of GamePro magazine, also maintains an ftp site at netcom.com.
- Look in the pub/vidgames directory. The pub/vidgames/faq directory contains
- a mirror image of the Mailserver files, so you can ftp anything listed in
- the following Mailserver section directly from netcom.com.
-
-
- MAILSERVERS
- ===========
-
- IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!!!
-
- The mailserver's days are numbered -- Georgia State is retiring gsusgi2
- (actually it's getting replaced by a Power Challenge) and I'm moving to
- panther.gsu.edu. Due to space limitations, the mailserver will not move
- with me. So when my gsusgi2 account is disabled, so goes the mailserver.
-
- ETA is unknown. The mailserver will remain enabled until time of death.
-
- Therefore, please use the ftp sites instead.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- (automatic, 24hrs a day, game playing FAQS)
-
- Please use ftp if at all possible ... The following mailserver site uses
- email as their transport -- any messages they serve eat up time used by
- Georgia State's mailing systems. 240 MK3 requests a day tends to slow things
- down quite a bit !
-
- Please read the following instructions carefully -- requests that don't
- follow the proper formatting get dumped in my incoming mail directory. Trust
- me, you really don't want to deal with 250+ MK3 moves requests in your mail
- folder. So please read carefully -- if you don't follow the instructions,
- your message WILL BE IGNORED !!!!
-
-
- Address : musjndx@gsusgi2.gsu.edu (yes ... my email addr ... ELM filters rock!)
- Format : "Send <keyword>" *** CASE IS IMPORTANT *** (This *is* unix ...)
-
- Send <keyword> *must* be the SUBJECT of your message ... if you put it
- in the text body, I cannot process your message. Message not conforming to
- the above format will either be replied to with this help file or, if I'm
- in a bad mood, purged. Your subject line MUST look something like this :
-
- Subject: Send mk2
-
- Choose your keyword (to follow "Send") from the following list :
-
- Keyword Description
- ------- -----------
- auction Steve Ofoz's "Buying from an Auction" faq
- cheats The latest copy of the Definitive Arcade Games Cheat Sheet

-
- Please note that the cheat sheet and the klov are VERY LARGE ... if your system
- or mailer can't handle 100kb+ messages, they WILL bounce and be returned to me
- as undeliverable. Undeliverable messages will be killed.
-
- My filter runs off Georgia State's ELM mailer program. Sometimes it
- hiccups. Sometimes it mails files off into the great bit bucket in the
- sky. It *does*, however, get around 95% of what it send to the proper
- place. *IF* you send a message and don't get anything within 24hours,
- then send me email asking for help (to the same address) and I will see
- about manually sending the appropriate file to you.
-
- I will NOT send copies of lots of files *unless* you can't get the automatic
- server to work. I just don't have the time.
-
-
- If you have any questions or problems, please email me at :
- musjnd@panther.gsu.edu or jdeitch@gsu.edu
