Recently there was a burst of requests for addresses of archives accessible to anonymous ftp. 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. This is the entire list so you'll have to cull atari specific references yourself. I have connected to all of these at one time or another, though, not recently for some of them. For those on unix systems I'd remind you that sometimes there is a list of machine names and their internet numbers in the file /etc/hosts. An interesting non atari archive is expo.lcs.mit.edu. It has some 50 Mb of bitmap pictures. They are in X11 format, but if someone were to write a conversion routine, there would be plenty of stuff to use it with.

If someone would care to post some formats for a suitable PD graphics-display program (gif?), there are some x-to-other-format conversion programs available locally which might do quite a bit of the processing for free, leaving the rest reasoanbly do-able. It's worth looking into.
