- Login: janet
- hostname: UK.AC.GLASGOW.BUBL (JANET domain-names reversed from InterNet)
- After specifying the terminal type, then pressing return to get the
- main menu, select entree D--Directories, and in the sub-menu select
- D10--Maas, then in that sub-sub-menu select individual files.
- Note: You cannot formally FTP these files, but you can print to screen,
- and collect a transcript locally if your terminal emulator has that
- capability, then edit out the prompts for each new page when you are
- offline. You can also have a copy e-mailed to your host; send your
- request to D. M. Nicholson <CIJS03@vaxb.strathclyde.ac.uk> (remember to
- reverse the domain-style name, thus actually uk.ac.strathclyde.vaxb, if
- you are on JANET instead of InterNet.)
-
- Europe - Continental:
- There is no FTP or fileserver access yet, but somebody in Greece has
- volunteered to set up an FTP host soon, and in the meantime to manually
- send copies by e-mail to interested people. Send your request to:
- Bitnet: VARVERI@GRATHDEM
- Internet: evarveri@isosun.ariadne-t.gr
- x400: c=gr;prmd=ariadne-t;o=ariadne-t;ou=isosun;s=varveri

- Australia #1 (problems to G.Huston@aarnet.edu.au):
- (This site has the new 1992.Feb.27 edition which is the current edition)
- ftp aarnet.edu.au (139.130.204.4) pub/doc/MaasInfo.TopIndex
-
- Australia #2 (problems to Steven.Bittinger@cc.utas.edu.au):
- (As of 1992.Mar.06, this site had only the 1991.Dec.23 edition)
- ftp ftp.utas.edu.au (131.217.10.1) pub/doc/MAASINFO/MaasInfo.TopIndex
-
- Elsewhere (Tiawan, Saudi Arabia, South America, India, etc.):
- (There's nothing near you, so you gotta fetch it long-distance.)
-
- Note that all directories and sub-directories shown above are specified
- in Unix syntax. Most user-FTP programs take that syntax, even those
- that run under VM/CMS. But some don't, and you'll have to connect to
- each level of directory individually with such a program. For example
- /pub/doc/MAASINFO.TOPINDEX means you connect to the toplevel pub
- directory, and inside that you connect to the doc sub-directory, and
- finally in that sub-directory you get the file named MAASINFO.TOPINDEX.
-
-
- Most of these FTP & fileserver sites have the other MaasInfo files in
- the same directory where MaasInfo.TopIndex is posted. Be sure the
- version of MaasInfo.Files you get is dated 1992.Feb.27 or more
- recently. Then be sure the versions of the other files match the dates
- listed in MaasInfo.Files.
-
-
- If you didn't see the earlier announcements: MaasInfo.TopIndex is a
- toplevel index to all the major online indexes available on the
- InterNet (including BitNet and UseNet). These indexes cover FTP sites,
- interest groups on all three networks, file servers, library catalogs,
- public-access hosts, and other generally-useful services on the three
- nets. MaasInfo.DocIndex is an index to most of the major online
- tutorial documents about network services. Both files tell where to
- obtain the various indexes and documents via FTP or fileserver. Other
- MaasInfo files supply how-to information for some of the more useful
- but lesser-known services not documented in any other accessible files.
-
-
- Contact me if you have trouble fetching the files from the above sites,
- or if you have errata or new useful&relevant information to submit, or
- if you want to get a license for commercial use of any of these files,
- or if you maintain an anonymous-FTP or fileserver site and want it to
- become another primary archive site for these files:
