- # Introduction to the Anti-viral archives...
- # Listing of 03 March 1991
-
- This posting is the introduction to the "official" anti-viral archives
- of VIRUS-L/comp.virus. With the generous cooperation of many sites
- throughout the world, we are attempting to make available to all
- the most recent news and programs for dealing with the virus problem.
- Currently we have sites for Amiga, Apple II, Atari ST, IBMPC, Macintosh
- and Unix computers, as well as sites carrying research papers and
- reports of general interest.
-
- NEW:
- I am still working out the kinks in the file archiver and compression
- format listing. For sure by April...
-
- If you have general questions regarding the archives, you can send
- them to this list or to me. I'll do my best to help. If you have a
- submission for the archives, you can send it to me or to one of the
- persons in charge of the relevant sites.
-
- If you have any corrections to the lists, please let me know.
-
- The files contained on the participating archive sites are provided freely
- on an as-is basis.
-
- To the best of our knowledge, all files contained in the archives are either
- Public Domain, Freely Redistributable, or Shareware. If you know of one
- that is not, please drop us a line and let us know. Reports of corrupt
- files are also welcome.
-
- PLEASE NOTE
- The Managers of these systems, and the Maintainers of the archives, CAN NOT
- and DO NOT guarantee any of these applications for any purpose. All possible
- precautions have been taken to assure you of a safe repository of useful
- tools.

- Subject: Anti-viral archive sites, email access
-
- # Archive access without using anonymous ftp
- # Last changed 07 January 1991
-
- To get files from the anti-viral archives, you do not need access
- to anonymous ftp. (However, anonymous ftp is the preferred method.)
- Below is information on accessing the archive sites using only email.
-
- -=-
-
- One way to get access to the archives is through the BITFTP server
- at Princeton. Send a message to bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (BITNET
- address is BITFTP@PUCC) with the body of the message containing the
- single word HELP. This should get you more information, and give
- you access to any archive site on the internet. This service seems
- to be greatly overloaded, so expect response times to be a little
- slow.
-
- -=-
-
- You may access the archives at Heriot-Watt using email. Send a
- message to info-server@cs.hw.ac.uk with the message text:
-
- help
-
- If you are in the U.K., then the address is info-server@uk.ac.hw.cs.
-
- -=-
-
- Both the AppleII and the Atari ST archives have mail servers which
- provide access to their archives. You may receive automatic updates
- of Macintosh anti-viral programs via email. See the individual articles
- on these sites.
-
- -=-
-
- You may also retrieve files from the SIMTEL-20 and the INFO-MAC
- archives by using one of the many mail servers which maintain
- a shadow archive of these sites. Send the following message to one
- of the listserv sites.
-
- help
-
- See the IBMPC and Macintosh articles for a complete list of servers.
