- The "index" file is located in /pub/pc/win3 and is named `INDEX`. Also,
- there is a file in the same directory named `ls-ltR` that has the file
- sizes as well. (the INDEX file does not have the sizes included, just
- the directory, archive name, date, and the file description fields).
-
- You can also get the ftp.cica.indiana.edu archives, plus index files,
- from wuarchive.wustl.edu in the /mirrors/win3 directory.
-
- Also, other places also have some Windows apps, and you can get the
- Windows *only* indices (plural of index) for these sites from the
- following directories (format = site:/directory/filename.ext):
- oak.oakland.edu:/pub/msdos/windows3/00-index.txt
- (SIMTEL20 mirror)
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/win3/INDEX and /win31/INDEX
-
- If anyone knows of any other Windows (or even Mac -- love those sound files!)
- FTP sites, please email me with a listing. Thanks!
