- Bitnet Lsrv: ?
- Additional: PUCC does not itself archive the games, but it does run a
- mail server with which people who can not ftp are able to
- access the archives on ftp only sites.
-
- BITFTP provides a mail interface to the FTP portion
- of the IBM TCP/IP product ("FAL") running on the
- Princeton VM system, to allow BITNET/NetNorth/EARN users
- to ftp files from sites on the Internet.
-
- BITFTP currently accepts requests only via RFC822-format
- mail, IBM NOTE-format mail, PROFS-format messages, or
- files with no headers at all. BITFTP currently returns
- the requested files as NETDATA-format files or as mail files
- containing UUENCODED data. If you specify "UUENCODE" or
- "NETDATA" on your "FTP" command, BITFTP will attempt to
- use that format. If you do not specify the format, BITFTP
- will attempt to select the appropriate format for your node.
- BITFTP attempts to send NETDATA-format files through the gateway
- from EARN into Janet via the NIFTP facility at Rutherford Lab.
-
- To use BITFTP, send mail containing your ftp commands to
- "BITFTP@PUCC". The first command to BITFTP must be "FTP"
- or "HELP".
-
- The recommended syntax for ftp requests is:
-
- FTP hostname NETDATA --or-- FTP hostname UUENCODE
- USER username password
- <other ftp subcommands>
- QUIT
-
- For more info, send a request with the word "HELP" as the
- first word of the mail message to the mail server.

- Suggested places to get additional information:
- /u3/archive/sources/LISTING
- LISTING contains the names of all the programs stored in the
- archives, and the sizes. Note: all archives have probably been
- stored in compressed form, with 12 bit compression (for machines
- that can't handle 16 bit). All multiple file programs have been
- stored in seperate directories, then compressed.
-
- More information about the files stored in a particular volume are
- kept in files called LOGFILE. Such as:
- /u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE
- would be the one to get to examine the exact contents of volume 1
- of the games section. Additional information from files: sample command
- to recover files:
- uucp aeras!/u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE /tmp/.
- Special note: wild cards have been proven to not be reliable, so
- to assure success they are not recommened tools.
