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:
ftp 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.
(Gary, Doug; perhaps this "archie" information should go in the monthly
announcement).

Any idea what gives ?

I think they actually point to the same machine though, so it may not really matter. Terry

Any idea what gives ? I'm calling from a VAX VMS system running VMS 5.x. thanks, I think that Mitch meant to say telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca. 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. bruce -- Bruce O'Neel oneel@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov NASA/GSFC/STX/Code 664
