Darren, I'm pleased to announce that Mount Royal College was a mail based archive server. Here is an announcement I sent over BITnet recently ============================================================= 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 Enjoy! /Russ ----- Russell M. Forster, Systems Programmer.

These follow standard VMS wildcard rules. Subdirectories can be accessed via the CD command.

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).
