From: gpvos@cs.vu.nl (Gerben 'P' Vos)
Subject: Acorn ftp and mail-server archives (fortnightly posting)
Summary: All known Acorn-related archives on and around the Internet
Organization: Fac. Wiskunde & Informatica, VU, Amsterdam
Date: Mon, 5 Jul 1993 01:45:30 GMT
Archive-name: acorn/archives
Last-modified: 1993-06-21
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 and R-series, and maybe some even rarer types of machines.
Mainly it's about the Archimedes, though.
This list is maintained by Gerben Vos <gpvos@cs.vu.nl>. People in the UK
may want to try the address gpvos@solo.cs.vu.nl . Please mail any updates or
remarks to me.
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>. You should be able to
find it at the same place where you found this article.
One of these places is the archive site rtfm.mit.edu (18.70.0.224), which
stores many FAQs in the directory pub/usenet/news.answers . 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. You can 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.
Now back to this list. For every server, the name and the type of files it
contains is indicated, along with 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. The Newcastle server is an exception to this
rule, since it has only one big flat directory.
Below the main list is a short section which tells you how to use some
services on networks you aren't directly connected to, e.g. Internet ftp from
Bitnet or Janet, and Janet connection from the Internet.
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
machines are doing you a favour, so please don't abuse or over-use their
services.
Changes since some arbitrary time in the past:
- The Manchester archive, uts.mcc.ac.uk, will close down on 5th July.
- Added walton.maths.tcd.ie, a small archive.
- The Sydney server, metro.ucc.su.oz.au, seems to have been closed down.
- Does anybody know whether johnson.dur.ac.uk is working?
- Added ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk, another small BBC archive.

All the software is public domain or shareware. Most of it has been
archived with the !Spark 2 application. !SparkPlug 2 is available.
This server will no longer provide Archimedes related files after
Monday, July 5th. The incoming directory will still be available for
TEMPORARY use IF THE MAINTAINER IS TOLD WHAT IS UPLOADED.

/pub/incoming/acorn: Upload directory
This is a small site, with a slow connection and not much space, so it
can't cope with too much. At the moment it just has stuff by Conrad and
Merlin Hughes in it; it's easier for them to distribute that way.
MAIL SERVERS:
=============
[A..] info-server@newcastle.ac.uk (Albert.Koelmans@newcastle.ac.uk)
topic: archimedes Archimedes software
Don't be fooled by the short listing of this archive; it has been a close
companion to the Acorn newsgroups for many years and often has the latest
versions. It contains public domain software for ARM based systems
(Archimedes, A3000, Rxxx etc), mainly put together from Usenet postings and
private submissions.
The info server is currently in danger of falling victim to its own
popularity (it's mailing out over a gigabyte per month at the moment).
Use an alternative, if possible, and coordinate your requests with others.
Requests are of the form:
line-limit 1000
request: sources
topic: archimedes <filename>
request: end
An index is available under the filename "index". There is also an index of
(ar)minix software available as "am_index", and a list of the last 50 files
added to the archive as "tail_index".
If you don't receive a reply, try including a Reply-To: line in your mail
header, specifying your e-mail address (or edit your From: line). If that
doesn't work, try specifying the domain part of your address in reverse
order (e.g., gpvos@nl.vu.cs), or route it via a major Internet backbone,
(e.g., gpvos%cs.vu.nl@mcsun.eu.net). Mailers in the UK generally get
confused by addresses starting with "cs", which they think means
"Czechoslovakia", but this can happen with any address which has a top level
domain at both ends.
[AB.] archive-server@micros.hensa.ac.uk (hensa@micros.hensa.ac.uk)
/micros/arch/riscos/a: See under "ftp servers".
/micros/arch/riscos/tools: See under "ftp servers".
/micros/bbc: See under "ftp servers".
/kermit: See under "ftp servers".
Requests are of the form:
send <filename>
You can obtain a help file using the single-word command "help".
[AB.] mail-server@rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de (arcinfo@rusinfo.rus.uni-stuttgart.de)
/soft/acorn: See under "ftp servers".
/soft/incoming/acorn: See under "ftp servers".
/soft/tex/systems/acorn: See under "ftp servers".
Requests are of the form:
[uuencode] # Only for binary files
send <filename> [<filename>...]
Use "send /soft/acorn/README" and "send /soft/acorn/HOW2TRANSFER" for more
information and an index. There are many options, use "help" for a summary,
or "send help" for a detailed description of the archive server.
JANET FTP/TELNET/PADS:
======================
[AB.] micros.hensa.ac.uk (numeric address 000010403000, login hensa)
/micros/arch/riscos/a: See under "ftp servers".
/micros/arch/riscos/tools: See under "ftp servers".
/micros/bbc: See under "ftp servers".
/kermit: See under "ftp servers".
HOW TO REACH CERTAIN SERVICES
=============================
If you can't use Internet ftp, there are servers which can do it for you.
To find out how they work, send them a message containing just the word help.
- ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com
- bitftp@pucc.bitnet, or bitftp at pucc (only from within Bitnet)
If you can't reach Janet telnet or pads from the Internet, try to use one of
these access points by using telnet:
- ruts2.runit.sintef.no (129.241.1.8) (press return to see the prompt)
- sun.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk (128.86.8.7) (login janet)
Note that there is now a Janet IP service, through which Internet users can
use most Janet ftp servers, at least HENSA. There are also two gateways i
heard of for people on Janet who want to use Internet ftp, one of which also
works in the reverse direction. They are:
- sun.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk (128.86.8.7) (login guestftp, password guestftp)
- ft-relay.ac.uk (using hhcp from Janet)
More information can be obtained from uk.ac.janet.news (for Internet users:
telnet to sun.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk (128.86.8.7), login as janet, and enter
uk.ac.janet.news as hostname).
