This section of the AIE describes how you can use FTP to connect
to remote FTP servers which allow you to anonymously retrieve
information and software.
What's available?
An example follows:
Note the file "00readme.txt". The "00" prefix insures that this
file is first in the directory listing. "Readme" files often have
prefixes attached so that they will be listed first (e.g.
aareadme.txt, 0readme.txt, 00index.txt, etc).
In order to conserve server disk space and the size of the files
that must be transferred, many files on anonymous FTP servers are
stored in a compressed format. This involves running the original
file through a specific compression program which can often
dramatically reduce the size of the file. For you to make use of
these compressed files once transferred to your computer, you must
run these compressed files through a complimentary uncompression
program.
In addition, anonymous FTP files are often archive files, that is,
a group of files bundled into a single file (e.g. a graphics
program, documentation and other support files stored as one
file). Again, you must have the appropriate software on your local
computer in order to disassemble these archives.
The good news is that there are a small number of "popular" file
compression and archive formats. Generally you will see only one
or two different compression/archive formats used for your
specific computer type (i.e. Unix systems, Macintosh, IBM PC). In
addition, the different compression/archive formats are easily
identified because standard file naming conventions are used. For
example:
Unix files which are archived with the standard Unix tar program
will end with .TAR. They may also be compressed using the standard
Unix compress utility in which case they will end with .Z. Files
which have been both compressed and archived will end with .TAR.Z.
Standard Unix TAR and Uncompress utilities can be used to
disassemble these files.
UN-ZIPPING FILES
All files with the extension .ZIP are archived, that is, their
contents have been compressed to save space and facilitate
transferral. To "un-zip" files you should first download
PKZ110.EXE, the most current version of the unzipping program.
To download this file, open up the 'Archiver/Anti-Virus' directory
in the 'AIE/IBMPDS' menu and follow the instructions. Refer to the
procedure outlined above in "DOWNLOADING A FILE" for information on
how to download files in general.
The Archived file will unarchive and produce either a .EXE or a .COM
file, and usually a document file describing how to use the program.
These document files are often named README.TXT or, with Basstour,
BASSTOUR.DOC. Text files can be printed, viewed or edited as an
ascii text file with DOS or any word processor.
Uncompressing Your FTP'd Files
The most recent copy of this text may be anonymous ftp'd from
ux1.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.59) in the directory /doc/pcnet as
as the file compression.
This file is maintained by David Lemson (lemson@uiuc.edu).
Please do not strip this note from this list when passing it on.
DECODING THIS CHART: This chart has been compacted to fit into 80 columns
so it can be viewed on-line. The first column is the name of the compression/
archiving technique. The next field is the file extension given to the
resulting file. After that are 5 columns each for a different operating system.
Each one of these consists of the name of the file/program to undo the given
compression/archiving style and a letter that tells where the file/program may
be obtained. All symbols and letters are decoded at the bottom portion of this
file.

For extraction, use tar -tvf <filename>.
ARC : From SEA, ARC 6.02 is the latest widespread shareware release.
It is available at A (ux1.cso.uiuc.edu).
Also, SEA has ARC 7.00, but it is commercial, not shareware.
When using binscii.exe for an Apple II, there are different file extensions
depending on the type of file being changed.
BinHexed files (with the extension .hqx) can be UnBinHexed with BinHex 4.0 or
Stuffit. BinHex5.0 format is a MacBinary format, while BinHex 4.0 files
are ASCII format.

What Anonymous FTP Servers are Available?
There are more than 600 anonymous FTP servers available on the
network and the number is growing. Two lists of FTP servers are
provided in this menu of the AIE to assist you in locating these
servers.
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil
sumex-aim.stanford.edu
This anonymous FTP site, maintained at Stanford, is perhaps the
largest source for Macintosh applications. All Macintosh
applications are in the "info-mac" subdirectory.

Archie can be accessed via telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
Login as user: archie
Given the number of hosts being used as archive sites nowadays, there can
be great difficulty in finding needed software in a distributed
environment. You may know that the software that you need is out there, but
it can sometimes be difficult to find. The School of Computer Science at
McGill University has one solution to the problem - "archie".
The second tool is the interesting one as far as the users are concerned.
It consists of a program running on a dummy user code that allows
outsiders to log onto the archive server host to query the database.
This is in fact the program we call Archie.
Users can ask archie to search for specific name strings. For example,
"prog kcl" would find all occurences of the string "kcl" and tell you which
hosts have entries with this string, the size of the program, its last
modification date and where it can be found on the host along with some
other useful information. In this example, you could thus find those
archive sites that are storing Kyoto Common Lisp. With one central database
for all the archive sites we know about, archie greatly speeds the task of
finding a specific program on the net.
Complete anonymous ftp listings of the various sites that we keep in the
database may be obtained via the 'site' command and for a list of the
sites which we keep track of, see the 'list' command.
archie-l@cs.mcgill.ca
If you have a favourite anonymous ftp site that archie doesn't seem to
maintain, or if you have additions or corrections to the Software
Description database, send mail to
archie-admin@cs.mcgill.ca
archie> help
Help gives you information about various topics, including all the
commands that are available and how to use them. Telling archie about
your terminal type and size (via the "term" variable) and to use the
pager (via the "pager" variable) is not necessary to use help, but
provides a somewhat nicer interface.

NAME
archie - an Internet archive server listing service
SYNOPSIS
archie
DESCRIPTION
The archie system is a program which can query a database
maintained by the Computer Science Department of McGill
University. The database contains a list of software which
is available by means of anonymous ftp(1) to hosts connected
to the Internet network.

as the pattern.
^pattern$
[Hh][Ee][Ll][Ll][Oo]
Commands
list [pattern]
This command provides a list of the sites currently
stored in the database and the time at which they were
last updated. There is an optional regular expression
argument to limit the list to specific sites.
Example:
list
list \.de$
mail [address1,[address2...]]
With an argument (or arguments) the output of the last
command is mailed to the specified address or comma-
separated list of addresses. No spaces must appear
anywhere in the address list.
Example:
mail user1@hello.edu,user2@goodbye.com
Example:
user@sitename.bitnet
user@sitename.uucp
prog pattern
Find all occurrences of programs with names matching
pattern. How pattern is interpreted depends on the
value of the search variable. The output lists the
names of hosts with matching entries, the size of the
matching program, its last modification date and its
path.
set variable-name
This command allows you to set one of archie's vari-
ables. Their values affect how archie interacts with
the user.
set pager
Example:
Example:
show [variable-name]
This command is used to display the value of a partic-
ular variable, or all variables. With an argument it
will display the value of that variable, without an
argument it will display the value of all variables.
Example:
show maxhits
site sitename
This command allows you to get a full listing of an
ftp(1) site in the archie database. The output format
is similar to that of UNIX ls(1) long recursive (-lR)
listing.
Example:
site col.hp.com
unset variable
This causes the specified variable to have no value.
This means that it will not be used by archie until it
has been given a value with the set command.
path path
This lets the requestor override the address that would
normally be extracted from the header. If you do not
hear from the archive server within a couple of hours
might consider adding a path command to your request.
The path describes how to mail a message from
cs.mcgill.ca to your address. cs.mcgill.ca is fully
connected to the Internet.
user@site.bitnet
user@site.uucp
help Will send you a message describing how to use the email
interface (basically this section).
compress
BUGS
1) Only UNIX sites are included in the database.

***************************************************************************
****ATTENTION**** I am going to be away this summer (in Japan). This means
that any updates you send me will not be implemented until I return. I will
leave the list and mail server in place on pilot as usual, it just won't be
being updated. However, June 1 is the last time the mailing list will be
used. Otherwise I will have to worry about my mail file being full of bounced
copies of the list and I am trying to keep it as small as possible. I am also
using this break to start the beginning of the end of this list. Now that
archie is available, I feel that there is no longer any need for this list.
When I return in September I will put out one more list with all the updates
of the summer and then one more with fixes. So you can look for the last
anonymous ftp list from me on October 1, 1991.
***************************************************************************
If you have any questions, comments, or anything else feel free to mail
me, but please read the rest of this header first!
If you are sending this on to someone or in any other way providing this
for someone else, please leave this header intact. Otherwise I get many
questions which this would have answered. Feel free to make this list avail-
able anywhere you like, as we all benefit from a freer flow of information.
Special thanks goes to Edward Vielmetti for all the work he does posting
new archive information to comp.archives and to David Katinsky, who allows me
to work on this list from pilot.
The last line for each site contains the date of last modification, and
the login and password in the form <login>/<password>. For the sites that
have "odin@pilot.njin.net" for the password, substitute your own mail address
(user@host.domain). It is suggested that you use your mail address as the
password wherever possible, even if it isn't required to let sites keep
better track of who is using their site. For those people who dislike the
date or the login and password there, grep it out yourself. If you can't
stand the format the list is in, the raw database is available from pilot and
you can write your own format program.
For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but do have mail, I have
included the mail address of an archive that will retrieve files for you
through the mail. Send "help" in a message to the server to find out the
exact commands necessary.
Please don't ask me how to use it, as it can explain itself better than I
can.
Thanks,

REMINDER: Anonymous FTP is a privilege, not a right. The site administrators
for the sites listed below have made their systems available out of the good-
ness of their hearts. Please respect their wishes and restrict your FTPing
to non-prime hours (1900 - 0600 hours local time for the site). This is
especially true for sites not in your country. Please keep that in mind when
you are FTPing. None of us want to see sites start to close down because a
few are being inconsiderate.

So what is archie? archie is a neat interactive database of anonymous
ftp sites available via telnet and mail. There is a file called "archie" on
pilot that is also available via the mail server. Take a look at that if you
don't know what archie is.
If you have any questions, comments, or anything else feel free to mail

I thought this site had nothing, but someone pointed out that if you
look in the /News directory, there are archives of comp.binaries.mac.
I recommend not doing a directory of it, but instead grabbing the index
file and looking through it offline. Also, since this site is in France,
it is both costly and very slow for folks outside of Europe.
ALL FILES: /News/comp.binaries.mac/index
XFER MODE: Use ASCII.
(B) ix1.cc.utexas.edu
Not a large site, but gets some unique files every so often.
