Archive-name: acorn/archives Last-modified: 1995-02-14 This is the regularly posted list of archive servers that contain files related in any way to Acorn computers, i.e. the Atom, BBC, Electron, Archimedes, R-series, PocketBook, Risc PC and maybe some even rarer types of machines. Mainly it's about the Archimedes and Risc PC, though. Please use an up-to-date copy of this list! This list is maintained by Gerben Vos <gerben@cs.vu.nl> (people in the UK may want to try the address gerben@solo.cs.vu.nl). Please mail any updates or remarks to me, as i can't check everything by myself (though i try). Thanks to all people who have sent me helpful information or pointers; this list wouldn't have been what it is without your help. There is also a list with answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the Acorn newsgroups. It is called the "Comp.Sys.Acorn FAQ List Posting", and the maintainer is Philip Banks <banks_p@kosmos.wcc.govt.nz>. Up-to-date copies of this list, and of the FAQ, are, amongst others, available at the archive site rtfm.mit.edu (18.181.0.24). Please retrieve an up-to-date copy if you're reading this on CD-ROM or another non-volatile medium. The name under which a FAQ is archived appears in the Archive-name line at the top of the article. This list is archived as acorn/archives, the FAQ has as name acorn/faq . There's also a mail server on that machine: if you want to retrieve the latest version of this list, send an e-mail message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu containing, without the quotes, the text "send usenet/news.answers/acorn/archives" in the message body. This list is also available on the World Wide Web as http://www.cs.vu.nl/%7Egerben/acorn/acorn-archives.txt ; a hypertext version is in the works. General information about FTP and ftpmail services can be found in "Anonymous FTP: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) List", available in all FAQ archives as ftp-list/faq . This article lists the name of every interesting archive i know of, as well as the type of files it contains, its numeric address in the case of Internet ftp servers and Janet pads, and the email address of the maintainer, if known. Below that follows a list of the directories to look for with a short description of their contents. Below the main list are three short sections which list the Acorn WWW sites, tell you how to use Internet ftp by e-mail (using the ftpmail service), and give information about Internet access from Janet. When requesting files from servers, always try to use a server that is as near as possible to you. And keep in mind that the people running these things are doing you a favour, so please don't abuse their services. Changes since some arbitrary time in the past (most recent ones first): - Added ftp.andrew.cmu.edu . - Added some comments about HENSA's newsletter and access restriction. - Added pcfcjb.dbs.aber.ac.uk and ftp.ant.co.uk . - Added another slightly smaller bunch of WWW pages.
