Hola, Thanks to Alex Liu, I'm happy to announce a second Mail-Archive Server for the commodore 64/128 computer system. It is running on Alex's software "UXV-Mail Archive Server" (which I should add is excellent and available from this server via the command "send other server") The server is setup in hopes that it will increase the flow of the public domain software and server as a medium for exchange (since the USENET is lacking a comp.binaries.cbm) Please keep all submissions public domain. No copyrighted software will be accepted. And PLEASE feel free to submit any software! It is currently fairly small and needs to be supplemented. I threw together some 'often requests' and put then in there. The archive should be identified as "Disk Archive Server" to distinguish it from the original UXV-MAZE Archive Server. It will work with all the UXV server commands since it is run from identical software. Also note that Digital Information Systems of Kentucky has no affiliation with this server whatsoever nor will they take any responsibility for files in the server. It is merely run off their system independantly. For those who are new to Mail-Archive servers, here is a small bit of help to get you started. To get a complete help file on how to use the server, send mail to me at specter@disk.UUCP or at uunet!ukma!corpane!disk!specter with the subject... Subject: Mail-Archive-Request It is important that you enter the subject exactly as it is written above or your request will not be processed. If your system does not automatically insert a "Return-Path:" header, either make a custom header (elm) or enter the line... path <your path from here> in the body of your message. It should be the first command in your request. If you are not sure if your system adds the Return-Path: header, use the path command anyway. It will still set the path even if your system does use the Return-Path header. Now, in the body of your message, below your path command, use the command... help this will send the complete help file to you (which in reality is basically the same help file you get from UXV-Maze with very few changes). So if you already know how to use the UXV maze server, then you can use the Disk Mail Archive server using the same commands. The archive includes the general volumes: terms, graphics, games, programming, utilities, music, other. More specific volumes will be added as needed. (Currently the selection is a bit limited but I will be adding a bit more on my part as i get the time- Again please feel free to submit any files you care to send. For help on how to do this, enter the command in your message... "help receive". I'd like to again thank Alex Liu for the wonderful server software, and I hope this will speed up requests for you guys in the midwest/east. All questions on the Mail Archive Software should be directed to acliu@skat.usc.edu (where the original archive resides along with the author) Any questions on this particular archive can be sent to me at specter@disk.UUCP. So lets get this thing online guys... (Gals too) Byron Guernsey specter@disk.UUCP or uunet!ukma!corpane!disk!specter
