- I received an email reply that was probably the output of "archie
- nihcl", which is what I should have done. Duh. For those of you who
- don't know, archie servers are databases of anonymous ftp listings
- that respond to queries. Often your system will have a command
- "archie" to query a server, just like "webster" queries a Webster
- dictionary server.
-
- Many of the listings seem to be at alw.nih.gov (128.231.128.7) in /pub
- or mirrors of it, such as citi.umich.edu (141.211.128.16) in
- /afs/alw.nih.gov/dcrt/kgorlen/(several directories here).
-
- I ended up getting the documentation for 3.10 from psuvax1.cs.psu.edu
- (130.203.1.6) in /pub/src/C++, but I still haven't found the source
- for 3.10.
-
- The moral of the story: Use archie!
