IBM PC Demos Resource Listing

Last Change: October 11, 1994

Among other things, this article identifies anonymous ftp sites containing
tools, documentation, source and libraries useful in creating PC demos.  It
is primarily intended to aid PC demo groups find information to help create
the ultimate demo, though there's just about something for everyone.

This article is posted on or about the first Monday of every month.


ADDED THIS MONTH:
    Finnish FTP site: ftp.funet.fi (mirror of ftp.mpoli.fi)
    Asphyxia's mail server for their trainers + more
    MODEX104 graphics library by Matt Pritchard
    Tran's PMC101 32bit extender for Borland C++ 4.0

UPDATED THIS MONTH:
    John McCarthy's 3D vector source is now at version 3.7
    Tran's PMODE 2.5/3.03 has been updated with a September '94 package


Lines with new or updated information from last month's posting are marked with
a '|' in the first column.  Deleted lines are simply gone.

Old versions of software packages are marked '(obsolete)', and are given
immediately before the new version.  These will be removed the next time this
list is posted.

Compiled by Mark T. Price ([e-mail])

Please contact me if you have any updates, corrections, additions, etc.
This includes if I left out your favorite software package or got the most
recent version number wrong; didn't mention your BBS or FTP/FSP site; you've
got a much better package description; or pretty much anything else you think
should be in here, but isn't.

Subject: 4. ARCHIE

Archie is a service system inteded to locate FTP sites containing files you're
looking for.  It's good ettiquete to try using Archie before asking help in
the newsgroups.

Archie servers:
  archie.au                     139.130.4.6             (Australia)
  archie.funet.fi               128.214.6.100           (Finland)
  archie.th-darmstadt.de        130.83.128.111          (Germany)
  cs.huji.ac.il                 132.65.6.5              (Israel)
  archie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp     130.54.20.1             (Japan)

  archie.unl.edu (pwd: archie1) 129.93.1.14             (USA, NE)
  archie.rutgers.edu            128.6.18.15             (USA, NJ)
  archie.ans.net                147.225.1.2             (USA, NY)

Connect to Archie server with telnet and type "archie" as username.
To get help type 'help'.
You can get 'xarchie' or 'archie', which are clients that call Archie
without the burden of a telnet session.
'Xarchie' is on the X11.R5 contrib tape, and 'archie' on comp.sources.misc,
vol. 27.

To get information on how to use Archie via e-mail, send mail to with subject
"help" and no message body to archie@<archie_server> where <archie_server> is
is the name of an archie host.  If you do not get mail back within 2 days or
so, try again with "path <return-email-address>" in the message body.

(Note to Janet/PSS users -- the United Kingdom archie site is accessible on
the Janet host doc.ic.ac.uk [000005102000].  Connect to it and specify
"archie" as the host name and "archie" as the username.)

Subject: 5. PC Demo FTP site list

When using FTP, please use good manners.  Use your real address, and try not
to do it during primetime (local) hours.  Use a site close to you first to
help reduce network traffic.

Subject: 6. Mail Servers

When transferring files, use FTP or FSP servers when possible.  Only use
mail servers as a last resort.

By default, mail servers will send requested files back to the requesting
address.  Unfortunately, some mail systems have difficulties setting and/or
preserving correct return addresses on your messages.  In order to overcome
these difficulties, most (if not all) mail servers have a command like:
   path valid_e-mail_address
to tell the system where to send your stuff.


Sites are sorted by country and province.
