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:
