Jim Got a couple of questions if you don't mind: 1 > GET SUPERUNARC.UUE List SUPERUNARC.UUE does not exist. Try sending a "List" command to get a description of all lists. I sent for this file and both ATARI8-F shows it as being available and the VERBINDX shows it available but I still get the error msg above. 2 > GET DDOT2DOC UUE File "DDOT2DOC UUE" is not yet available. Again both documents show it available but I get the above msg. 3 In the ATARI*-F list the 5th column over shows a FP or a P.. what does that mean. I've tried looking the documentation over several times to avoid sending you a silly note asking for something that is already explained and I can't for the life of me see the explaination. 4 The files that show a size of 0 I assume means they are somewhere but not on TCSVM. Can they be put online or should I look elsewhere for them? Sorry to bug ya with all these questions but I am new here and I just need to get a handle on things. Thanks for your time and patience. __mike

When I requested a file list from the archive server, the printout it sent me was riddled with holes and promises.... and a few pieces of software that unfortunately have been in my library for a while..... Do the archives accept uploads? :-) -Ric Helton RCH@cup.portal.com Freestyle BBS 404/546-8256

Pardon my lack of experience, but can anyone give me instructions as to where and how I can get programs for my 8bit? I especially need a Uudecoder and a uuencoder--the versions of Yau and Yaue that I have appear to have bugs in them. Also, does anybody else have trouble unarcing files using SuperUnarc that have been unarced on other machines? I archived text files (in the crunched format) on my UNIX machine, but upon getting them to my 8bit, they come out garbled. The problem does not appear to be in the file transfer process-- I uuencode the file, dl the file using Ascii file xfer (I don't trust Kermit too much), then uudecode it. SuperUnarc can't even recognize the individual parts. Any help would be appreciated. Gracias. Andrew H.

Ok, here we go again. Please, everybody, I know you're all anxious, but
things take (often unreasonable amounts of) time.
The state of the BITNET archives is as follows: The LISTSERV is up and
running, and a small amount of the stuff in the Internet archives has
been loaded into it. It does NOT, repeat NOT contain everything that
it's supposed to yet. It's not possible for me to just shove everything
into it, as I don't have direct access to the BITNET, and the LISTSERV
software requires direct access for loading things into its database.
I have some volunteers to take over the work of inserting files into the
archive, and we're currently working on getting the LISTSERV to
understand that they're authorized to do so. When things get going
again, I'll send another announcement.
Do the archives accept uploads? :-)
Sure, just send 'em to me. They'll get there eventually.
