[comp.sys.ibm.pc] c.b.i.p Archives

The semi-official c.b.i.p archives are on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu which
is a Zenith Z-248 running a modified version of KA9Q's TCP/IP NET that
allows you to shell out to DOS while still processing packets.  After
shelling to DOS, we run an Opus BBS.  The particulars:

FTP: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu [128.153.13.196], user anonymous, password guest.
     Look in 00readme for timely information.
     Look in /d/general/cuhug.lst for a listing of files w/ descriptions.
     Look in /[cdef]/allfiles for listings of all files.
     Look in /c/bin1/*.* for c.b.i.p postings.
     Look in /d/graphics/pa.arc for Painter's Apprentice
     Look in /e/freemacs/*.* for Freemacs
     Look in /f/gif/*.gif for .GIF images.
Opus: 260/360 in the Nodelist.  (315)268-6667, 8N1, 1200/2400 Baud, 24 hours.
     Look in file area 12 for Painter's Apprentice
     Look in file area 25 for Freemacs
     Look in file area 26 for c.b.i.p postings.
     Look in file area 27 for .GIF images.

Submitting files to grape by FTP:

You can just put the file where you believe it belongs.  Note that you
cannot overwrite files, so if you want to update something, you need
to change the name.  Send mail to root if you need to delete or
overwrite a file.

To help us keep the 'files.bbs' up to date, we need a .DSC file.  This
file should have its first line be a one-line description less than 40
characters in length.  The rest of the file (no more than ten lines)
can be a more verbose description.  Either put the file in the arc, or
else in the same subdir as the arc.

Hi.  Several people have reported problems with the new version of the
networking software running on grape.  The symptoms of it are that your
FTP client thinks that you aren't logged in, and refuses any attempts to
let you log in.  This is caused by the continuation lines that grape
now sends back.  If this problem happens to you, then your FTP client does
not conform to the RFC.  You can FTP a FTP client from uunet.uu.net, cd to
/networking, and get (binary!) ftp.tar.Z.

Obblurb (if I don't include the obligatory blurb, I get countless mail
messages asking me for it):
