- [Here is the current list of archive sites. Before posting
- a world-wide request for source, first try other people
- in your area/company/institution (e.g. first try posting
- with a limited Distribution: entry) then try one of the
- archive sites close to you (if any). Then try me or post
- a more general request to the net. -br]

- --------------------------
- ACCESSING THE COMP.SOURCES.GAMES ARCHIVE
- (last updated: November 4, 1987)
-
- Several sites below will send tapes through the mail. For those sites,
- send a 1/2" mag tape WITH RETURN POSTAGE and RETURN MAILER. Tapes
- without postage or mailer will not be returned. No other methods (COD,
- etc.) are available; please don't ask.
-
- 1. Rick Adams (rick@uunet.uu.net) provides archive access to those on the
- Internet. Access is available directly via anonymous ftp (Outside of
- 9am-7pm EDT M-F.) The files are in a directory comp.sources.games, then a
- sub-directory VolumeX. They are named as closely as possible to the
- names in the Index.
-
- 2. Mike Arms at Sandia will be archiving the articles. They can be a
- point of contact for those sites in New Mexico needing postings.
- Note though that they are NOT an ARPAnet site nor do they allow
- ad lib uucp connections. Those requesting archives should e-mail
- to Mike.

-
- 3. Pyramid Technology has an archive arranged topically, and in compressed
- tar files. They are happy to take new UUCP connections. They are also
- somewhat willing to make tapes for people to come by and pick up,
- provided you call WELL in advance and bring lunch money. This is being
- managed by Claudia Dimmers and/or Carl Gutekunst. Contact
- pyramid!usenet for more info.
-
- 4. Jason Winters at host aeras in San Jose (sun!aeras!jason) has an online
- archive and has a directory setup for anon uucp. Contact Jason
- for more details.

-
- 5. Charlie Boykin at host killer archives games sources (as well as
- comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc). The archives are in /net/archive
- on his system and anon uucp is available. Contact Charlie for
- details.

-
- 6. Robert Elz (kre@munnari.OZ) keeps comp.sources.games in different ways
- depending on his available disk space; contact him for more info
- if you're an Australian site.
-
- 7. John Gilmore at host hoptoad keeps a full comp.sources.games archive.
- To get copies of archived stuff, send mail to games-archive@hoptoad, or:
-
- {sun,ptsfa,lll-crg,ucbvax,ihnp4,psivax,uunet}!hoptoad!games-archive
-
- 8. Chris Grevstad at host nrcvax writes: We are a UUCP site only now,
- but with good prospects of being on the Internet soon. I can make
- UUCP access available either here in Oxnard, CA or in Salt Lake City, UT.
- I can also make all manner of tapes here as well, BSD/SYSV/VMS (that
- means tar, cpio or VMS format) on 9-track, cassette and whatever the
- UvaxII uses (tk-50 I think).

-
- 9. Jim Thompson at host otto can make 1600/6250bpi tar/cpio tapes,
- 1/4" cartrige tapes (either format) and VMS (1600/6250bpi) BACKUP
- format tapes (in a pinch, if they grovel..). Contact Jim for details.

- 10. Of course, I have a complete set of archives. I can mail individual
- postings, make files available for UUCP, and will send tapes (1600
- or 6250 BPI tar). It costs about $5 to send a 2400' tape across
- the country in a padded envelope via first-class mail.
- In a real crunch, I might be able to write files onto MS-DOS
- diskettes; send e-mail before sending floppies!

- 11. Internet sites may also retrieve archives from j.cc.purdue.edu via
- anonymous ftp. Due to disk space considerations,
- many of the sources are compressed; these may be recognized by the
- ".Z" suffix. If you don't have compress & friends, they are in
- ~ftp/pub/compress.shar for the taking. This is being managed by
- Rich Kulawiec (Wombat), pucc-j!rsk, rsk@j.cc.purdue.edu. If your
- host tables don't grok "j.cc.purdue.edu", try "purdue-asc.arpa".
- They would appreciate it if you would avoid large file transfers
- in the middle of the day. [Rick also points out that the FTP'able
- archies also contain comp.sources.amiga, a bunch of kermit sources, news
- 2.11, rn 4.3, nntp, and whatever else happens to be in ~ftp/pub at
- the moment.] This is still in the process of being setup for games
- archiving (game playing is not allowed on their local machines).
- Contact Rich for access/status info.
-
- 12. Phil Harbison at host madhat plans to archive comp.sources.games.
- They will support anonymous uucp access. They can also make 96tpi,
- 5.25" floppy disks using cpio or tar format.

- 13. Gary Rosenblum (rosenblg@cmcl2.nyu.edu) writes: the major node here
- is cmcl2. We're connected to the ARPAnet via jvnc and our own imp,
- plus we are part of nysernet, a high-speed new york state network
- that has, among other members, cornell, rpi, suny-buffalo, and columbia.
- so we are probably a good choice! An anonymous ftp account has been
- setup on acf3.nyu.edu.
- I also have an 800/1600 bpi drive, plus tons of other equipment, so
- I can support tapes for 4.2 and 4.3, System V, etc.

- We in The Netherlands have just recently founded our
- own local Dutch Sun User Group (SUG-NL).
-
- To be able to offer our members good information about
- hot subjects on the Sun software front we would like them
- to be able to acces the Unix games sources you are controlling
- in your archive of comp.sources.games.
-
- From there on I can distribute the software to the people

- [Moderator's note: the sug-nl group might be a good place for
- our European friends to look for copies of missing parts, etc.
- They are on a direct maillist, so should generally have clean,
- uncorrupted copies. It is probably cheaper to get it from
- them than from a US site.]
