The 32K software archives at beowulf are now available for automated
retrieval. Simply follow the directions below to retrieve an index of available
files or the files themselves. I've included a copy of the current index,
but it gets updated every night.
Let me know if you have a problem getting something out. As always,
submissions are solicited!!!
Best of luck,
Bob Bownes bownesrm@beowulf.uucp

How to use the Program Archive at Beowulf
=========================================
Bob Bownes (bownesrm@beowulf.uucp) 1/17/89
------------------------------------------
An automatic mail forwarder is used to retrieve archived materials
from the "beowulf" system. To use it, follow these simple directions.
1) Send message to "snarf-32k@beowulf.uucp" or "beowulf!snarf-32k" or
"snarf-6000@beowulf.uucp" or "beowulf!snarf-6000" depending on the
archive you want. Snarf-6000 is the Tandy 6000 archives, and snarf-32k
is the USENET 32k-project archives.
2) For a Subject, use only the word "snarf"
3) For the body of the message, use the following commands, each
starting in the 1st column:
snarf index
This returns an up-to-date index of what files
are available
snarf dir <dir>
This gives a current listing of the files available
in directory <dir> (i.e, "Games", "Editors", etc.)
snarf help
Sends this file.
snarf files <file> [<file> ...]
This command requests selected files be sent by
return mail to the sender of the message. All files
should be specified relative to a directory, and
wild-card character expansion is allowed.
Example:
snarf files Games/larn* Mail/ease*
Requested files / info will be sent using the "From_" header field,
so this must be syntactically correct (some mailers insert domains
in this field, which is incorrect!).
Any problems, questions or comments should be mailed to me.

Much thanks is due to Tim Northrup @ brspyr1 who wrote the first version
of this and supplied it to me. I converted it for use on systems without
.forward capability and rewrote it in C.
