AMIGA SOFTWARE SOURCES (August 2, 1990)
The following is a list of mail-servers, BBS services, and anonymous Internet
FTP sites that I know, and which provide a large selection of Amiga software.
***NEWS***
***NEWS*** I have created an anonymous ftp account on my machine. I have some
extra disk space now, and would enjoy greatly if people would begin using
it to upload and download amiga, mac, and pc stuff. Please use the incoming
directory to put new stuff in.
The machine is called burdell.gatech.edu (130.207.3.207). Please
restrict ftp'ing from 1700 to 0600 EST. Thanks.
***NEWS***
***NEWS***
Please keep me informed about any new sites, mail-archives, IP-addresses, and
directories, as well as the ones which have been removed, changed, or
manipulated (enough to make this list "old"). I'd appreciate it. Since during
these days I'm very busy, I have little time to read newsgroups. Therefore,
please do *email* your suggestions/corrections to me. I may not see your
posting. Also, if you email me something, which does not show up in the next
version of the list, please don't get mad about it. My mind was probably doing
something else... Remind me again...
You will see a section below which is titled "CHANGES THIS MONTH". Lines in
that section may start with !, -, or +. They mean "changed", "removed", and
"added", respectively.
The "TZ" column shows the timezone of that site. This might not be very
important to people in the US, but since the sites shouldn't be used 0600-1800
local time weekdays so as not to bog things down, people in Europe should be
helped by this. "e,c,m,p" means eastern, central, mountain & pacific,
respectively. Sites ending with .fi is in Finland (Greenwich+2).
My plan is to extend the list of mail servers and UUCP ftp sites etc., in
order to enable people without access to Internet to have some sort of
software source. If you operate such a server or site, please send me couple
of lines describing how people can connect to it, or send requests, what kind
of programs you have, whether it is also accessible via Internet anonymous
ftp, if yes what the IP-address is, what the directories are etc. Include any
information you think would be appropriate. I will add those instructions to
the end of this list, and won't be able to check their validity (is there
someone willing to make that test for me?). Internet anonymous ftp sites will
be checked as before. Still, I may miss some directories or removed sites
since I don't have infinite supply of time to spend on this list. So, think
twice before flaming me...
As you all know, Tuna set up a way for him to answer questions regarding
file locations. I have set up the same mechanism and will be glad to help
anyone find a specific file. I'm also making some few modifications to this
setup to make it easier to locate and notice changes to the sites directory
structure. I'll keep you all posted on that too. (I'm still working on it.)
Some of the Internet sites also provide BBS service. I marked them as such. To
connect to them as BBS, use 'telnet' instead of 'ftp'.
Thanks very much to many people who contributed to the creation and
maintenance of this list. It is in no way my original work (although I put
lotsa time into it). It is just a collection of information which wouldn't be
possible without those people.
Once more, thanks to all those that send me mail about new sites and
corrections. Without you, this list is impossible. I'm always glad to hear
from anyone, so mail away!

============================= AMIGA MAIL SERVERS =============================
---------------------------------- SERVER 1 ----------------------------------
Correspondence to: greg@noel.CTS.COM
Requests to: amiga-archive@ncr-sd.SanDiego.NCR.COM (Registered domain address)
amiga-archive@ncr-sd.UUCP (Psuedo-domain address)
...!ncr-sd!amiga-archive (UUCP path)
Ncr-sd is not on the Internet; FTP access is not possible. Anonymous UUCP is
not supported.
All lines of the incoming mail message are ignored except lines that begin
with either "path" or "send". (For compatibility with other servers, "help"
and "index" are also recognized and are treated as equivalent to "send help"
and "send index".)
If a line saying "path route-from-us-to-you" is encountered, it will be used
for any subsequent mail. If the path line is missing, the system will try to
determine the reply address; it's pretty good at guessing, but it's not
perfect. Try it initially without the path line; if you don't get an answer
in a reasonable period, try again with one. We run a full domain router, so
the route-from-me-to-you should be a domain address (or a UUCP psuedo-domain
address) if you have one.
Start with "send help" for information on how to get started.
The mail server is actually the beta test version of an archive server that I
hope to fill with Amiga sources and binaries. If you are interested in
providing some feedback, try the requests "send help" and "send index" to see
how to use it. I'd appreciate any help you can offer in getting this started.
There's only about 15MB of stuff so far, so I need to make arrangements to get
access to more of the comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga archives; anybody have
this in a form that I can conveniently get?
==============================================================================
------------------------------ Server 2 --------------------------------------
Announcing MRCserv, a mailserver based at Mount Royal College.
MRCserv is a MAIL ONLY based server. Mount Royal is not on
the Internet so FTP access is not supported. Anonymous UUCP
is also not supported.
All commands to the server must be in the BODY of the message.
The subject line is ignored.
The address of the server is MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA
Mount Royal College is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our time
zone is MST. Please try and restrict your archive access to
non-prime hours (primetime is 07:00 - 17:00).
MRCserv is currenly in BETA test. If you experence any problems
please send e-mail to RMF@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA
| There had been a fatal bug in the server in that it would inform
| you of files being sent, but they never were (BETA 0.48)
| A PATH command had been added. It appears that the server had some
! trouble with "!" addresses, so a path command became necessary. The
| server is pretty good usally in figuring out return-paths, hoever if
| you don't receive a response from the server try again with a PATH
| command. Remember the PATH is from the SERVER to you. If you are
| using "!" paths please add the .UUCP domain name, ie. a!b!c!d!user.uucp
Enjoy!
==============================================================
MRCserv - Mount Royal College Mail Server (BETA 0.50)
-----------------------------------------
Commands:
DIR - list a directory (equiv. to ls -l)
LS - briefly list a directory
DIR -d - list subdirectories only
LS -d - briefly subdirectories only
| DIR -s nn - list files added to archinve in the last 'nn' days
| an optional parameter of 'directory specification
| can be added (ie dir -s 07 *.* )
| LS -s nn - briefly list files added in last 'nn' days
CD - change working directory
GET - sends you one or more files
HELP - sends you this help
EXIT - finishes request
| PATH - Path from MRCserv to you. (if your using "!" paths make
| address ends with a .UUCP ie. foo!bar.uucp)
PUT - Put a file in the archive. (must be validated first).
| (currently not implemented)
Extensions:
ZOO - ZOO file ZUU - UUencoded ZOO file
ARC - ARC file AUU - UUencoded ARC file
LZH - LHARC file LUU - UUencoded LHARC file
LHW - LhWarp file DIR - VMS directory file
WRP - Warp file UUE - UUencoded executable
| ABC - ABasiC file
Wildcards and directory specifications are allowable with DIR and GET
commands. These follow standard VMS wildcard rules.
Subdirectories can be accessed via the CD command. For example, if
you see a file with the extension .DIR (ie ARCHIVERS.DIR), CD to
it by issuing the command CD [ARCHIVERS] (case insensitive, brackets are
not required). To move to the parent directory issue the command CD [-]
(Brackets are required) To move to the root directory issue command
CD [000000]
Binary files (ZOO/ARC/LZH/EXE) will be uuencoded before being sent.
Files larger then 100 blocks will be sent in multiple parts. You
will be informed of the number of parts in the server's response. All
files will be sent as separate messages (except HELP).
In the reply sent by MRCserv, your commands are preceeded by a less-than
sign "<". MRCserv responses are preceeded by a greater-than sign ">".
