- I keep seeing references like this to "Archie". It looks like Archie is
- a host that maintains some type of master index to most anonymous ftp
- host and the programs available on each. Is this true? I have tried
- many wildcard searches of the whois database at the NIC with no luck.
- How do I reach Archie? What is the full host name and what is it's IP
- address?
