- It's official! A couple days ago, I received a message from my ex-manager,
- Fred Swartz. He ended up at Merit/Michnet, which is a network made up of
- Michigan's universities and colleges. They are going to support the archives
- here at the University of Michigan! All of the letters of support that you
- folks sent helped the administration realize how important this service
- is to not only the U-M campus, but the Internet world as well.
-
- Nothing will be "going away", as far as our archives are concerned. Services
- will most likely be >added<, such as Gopher, and we already have WAIS
- service, and hopefully maybe a new machine or two. "Support" means they
- will be paying for the disk space on our AFS file servers. You can reach
- the archives right now in /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/mac.
-
- I'll let you folks know more as I find it out myself. There is supposed to
- be a large article being written about the archives in the Newsletter here
- on campus. Around that time, I'll let you know what address you can
- send e-mail to obtain a copy. We got the bill for our DEC, which is the
- usual ftp machine that has been out in the shop for about a month now. So I
- would be expecing the DEC back some time very soon now. When that happens
- the "dir" and "ls -l" problems will magically go away.
-
- Here are the files that we've added in the past week or so.... I'll be out
- in Cupertino/the Bay Area again starting Saturday and going through
- Thursday. But if you run into any problems, "comments@mac.archive.umich.edu"
- is an address you can send e-mail to for help. Try to keep our archivists
- busy as well, you can ftp new files into the "incoming" directory anytime,
- 24 hours a day.
-
- If you'd like to add your e-mail address from our "frequent ftp'er"
- archive mailing list, please send me mail at:
- "mac-recent-request@mac.archive.umich.edu".
-
- Thanks!
