Hi Everyone. Our site has just become a Full Fledged BitNet node. I was wondering whether there exists an archive site on BitNet for public domain software along the same lines as macserve@pucc for the macintosh? Thanks, Pete Santangeli pete@utgpu.UUCP pete@utorgpu.bitnet

I, and perhaps many others, am interested in looking at software for the Atari ST that resides on remote file servers. I am familiar with a file server that is maintained at the University of Michigan. Its 'ftp' address is 35.1.1.43 . Could we as a newsgroup compile a listing of all file servers and mail servers that serve to distribute Atari ST software? Is this information already available elsewhere?

In no particular order these are arpanet addresses of some places from which I've gotten software or which maintain public archives for one of the computers I use.

Does anyone have a list of ST archive sites? if so could you E-mail
or post the addresses?
thanks

Tad Guy expressed an unwillingness for xanth to be 'just another' archive site
for Atari ST stuff. There exist several unique niches to be filled. What
exists now is an 'automatic' archive of comp.sources/binaries.atari.st at
panarthea which is very well connected, but operates only in mail-response
mode, and an ftp-only archive with greater coverage, but in which article names
are not guaranteed to match those given by the moderator, at terminator. The
obvious unfilled niches are an 'automatic' archive reachable through ftp
and a mail-response archive containing the large and/or obscure items now
available only from terminator. The uucp and mail-response archive that
used to exist on killer seems to have been phased out on attctc (but if you
haven't checked them lately, do so: other parts of their collection have
expanded wonderfully). Another empty niche is a BBS with an explicit connection
to the ST newsgroups (the IBM PC newsgroups have something like that). And
however guilty I feel to say it, I'm not volunteering to set up any of these,
but there are the opportunities to be a unique resource.

There are a number of public-access Unix sites that carry comp.sys.atari.st, as well as several STadel and Citadel BBSes that carry it. Among the latter are MAST and Class68 in Minnesota, BRASS in upstate New York, The Land in Ohio, Cerebral Cortex in Nova Scotia (I think) and Bitsko's Bar and Grill in Utah. Several of the People-Net nodes also carry it. I think it also may be available on Bix and therefore to the BBS systems that use the Citadel-to-Bix relay program cooked up by Jefferson Software. The comp.binaries and comp.sources groups are another matter. I currently am feeding both to MAST, but it's a manual process. (My rnews is not yet smart enough to do the job.) Some of the BBSes may get them directly, but I don't know which ones.

One question arises after learning of the nifty archive site at the University of Dortmund. Are there any other European Atari archive sites out there on the net that stock stuff other than the Usenet archives. It would be really neat to get a direct link into the European P/D scene... I speak fluent German, so don't worry about language barriers... Scott Le Grand aka SML108

Could noble souls out there please email or post a list of favorite Atari archive sites on the Internet? My node has a small site list so numeric addresses would help a *lot* also. Many thanks.
