How can I find an anonymous FTP or email server that has "foo"? (Or, just
what is "archie" anyway?)
From: Mitch.Bradley@ENG.SUN.COM
Subject: How to find FTP sites
Message-ID: <9105291721.AA13524@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU>

The question often arises: where can I get "foo" via anonymous FTP (FTP
is the Internet File Transfer Protocol)?
There is a nice database listing Internet archives; you can access it via
Telnet. Here's how:
telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
login% archie
(Lots of introductory messages; use "help" to learn more)
archie> prog forth
The "prog forth" query lists over 100 Forth things available on various
FTP sites. I searched the listing for "atari", and found 2 places where
Forthmacs is available:
watserv1.waterloo.edu /micro/atari-st/forthmac.arc
terminator.cc.umich.edu /atari/languages/forth.arc
Obviously, you can look for other things besides Forth; I have used archie
to find all sorts of things.

Another way to do the search is to send mail to archie@cs.mcgill.ca
with the word help in the message body or the request prog <what you
want to look for> in the message body.

Where can I find programs for Unix that can read .ARC, .ZOO and .ZIP files?

You can find them on SIMTEL20 (WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL) and in the
SIMTEL20 mirror on wuarchive.wustl.edu. Because the exact file names
often contain version numbers, I'm not including the file names
here, only the directory names. Check out 00-index.txt in the
directories for specific info and what file is what. On SIMTEL-20,
look in directories:
PD6:<UNIX-C.ARC-PROGS> (.arc and .zoo)
PD6:<UNIX-C.FILE-MGMT> (.zip)
On wuarchive, look in directories:
/mirrors/unix-c/arc-progs
/mirrors/unix-c/file-mgmt
If you have email only access, please see the other regularly
posted message for how to access FTP archives via email.
You might also try using the archie server to find other sites
that have these programs. (See previous question).
