- There's an Actor mailing list.
-
- To join the Actor mailing list send mail to actor-request@seq.uncwil.edu
- To send a message to the Actor mailing list send to actor@seq.uncwil.edu
-
- There's also a mail server for Actor files. To quote:
-
- From: spell@seq.uncwil.edu (Chris Spell)
-
- Here is the basic instructions:
-
- Send a message to:
- actor-mail-server@seq.uncwil.edu
-
- Subject line doesn't matter.
-
- The first line of the message should be:
- ACTOR
-
- If you are on bitnet, then next line should be:
- PATH username%host.bitnet@vxc.uncwil.edu
-
- Now you can request anything you would like from the archives.
- For instance, I would suggest that you get the INDEX file first.
- The index file is just a "ls -lR" of the actor directories. You
- can do this by adding this line to the message:
- send INDEX
-
- After all requests of the server, you should put this line:
- exit
-
- The server gets confused when it sees something that it doesn't
- understand. It isn't very smart, but it works.
-
- To recap:
- Typical message:
- To: hp-mail-server@seq.uncwil.edu
- Subject: Doesn't matter, it's ignored
-
- ACTOR
- send INDEX
- send util/enhanc.zip
- exit
-
- Oh, two more things. If you want anything from a directory
- under the main directory just precede the request by the
- directory name as in the example above. Also if you are
- requesting a file from a compuserve account you will need to set
- the limit to something under 50k. Be sure you add the LIMIT
- command before you reqest any files. For example:
- LIMIT 40K
-
- If you have anything to submit to the archives, please mail it
- to me "spell@seq.uncwil.edu" or if you by chance have FTP then
- put it in the actor/Uploads directory.
