- [This is intended as a supplement to the info posted in comp.archives;
- look there, also, for possible archive sites. The major changes in
- this posting are:
- 1) new directory for the archive on 'saab' (see #14)
- 2) new European EARN/BITNET archive via LISTSERV (see #13)
- Please let me know of any additions or corrections. -br]

- --------------------------
- ACCESSING THE COMP.SOURCES.GAMES ARCHIVE
- (last updated: April 12, 1989)
-
- 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. New stuff may be in the directory 'new', rather
- than the volumeX - check there also.
-
- 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.
- Jason Winters
- sun!aeras!jason
- (408) 432-1200 ext. 365
-
- 5. Bill Wisner at host killer (killer!wisner) archives games sources (as
- well as comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc). To access the archive
- call +1 214 821 3795 (for 2400 baud) or +1 214 827 2919 (for 1200 baud),
- login as uupdsrc with a password of Public (note the capital P), and
- retrieve /bbsys4/README.
-
- 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,
- mostly for SF Bay area access. Don't ask me for things if you have to
- mail through uunet to get to hoptoad -- why send it through an extra hop?
- To get copies of archived stuff, mail to games-archive@toad.com, or:
-
- {sun,pacbell,pyramid,ucbvax,ucsfcgl,psivax,uunet}!hoptoad!games-archive
-
- Most requests we get are misplaced ones from the Internet or
- Europe. Look over the other archive sites -- there are closer
- archives.
-
- 8. Rex Jolliff 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 Rex for details.

- 10. 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.

- 11. John Haugh at rpp386 is archiving select portions of comp.sources.games
- as well as other comp.sources groups. To access the archive, call
- +1 214 250 6262 at either 1200 or 2400 baud. Login as uucp, with no
- password. The archive index is in ~/archive (/usr/spool/uucppublic/archive).

-
- 12. Sharan Kalwani at the Michigan Cancer Foundation has a set of
- archives available for folks in this region (including
- comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc). We're not an internet
- site but will consider tapes and uucp connections. Send mail
- to ...!uunet!edsews!mcf!shan for details [(313) 833-0716].

- ---------------------
-
- 13. There is now a European archive site! Philippe Bekaert has established
- a BITNET LISTSERV for games archive access. Example commands to get
- things from the archive might be:
- TELL LISTSERV AT BLEKUL11 INDEX U-GAMES
- TELL LISTSERV AT BLEKUL11 GET U-GAMES ARCHIVES
- TELL LISTSERV AT BLEKUL11 HELP
- All of the files are compressed for disk space savings. For more info
- contact SAAAA02@BLEKUL11.BITNET.
-
- 14. Of course, I have a complete set of archives. Archive access is now
- available from anonomous uucp. A sample L.sys entry might look like:
-
- saab Any ACU 1200 5039234494 in:-\r-in: ugames ssword: letmein
-
- (300 baud also works.) An index can be retreived with the command (examples only):
-
- uucp saab!/usr/spool/ftp/games-archive/Index /usr/spool/uucppublic/Index
-
- Individual game sources can be retreived with the command:
-
- uucp saab!/usr/spool/ftp/games-archive/gamename.Z /usr/spool/uucppublic/gamename.Z
-
- for single part games, or
-
- uucp saab!/usr/spool/ftp/games-archive/gamename/Partxx.Z /usr/spool/uucppublic/gamedir/Partxx.Z
-
- for multi-part games [or Patchx.Z]. All of the source files are compressed
- with 16-bit compression. If you have problems send me email and I'll look
- into it.
-
- I can also mail individual postings in a crunch 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!
