I am an archive site for the Phoenix area, but wish to set up an archive server though email. Is there a program already for this purpose out there? I would like to use the same format that uunet uses. Such as: send help send comp.sources.games ect., ect.

The server I run for my comp.archives database does this, albeit in a
primitive way. If you are interested, you can get the source (it is
all shell scripts) by sending the following commands to
twwells!comp-archives-server:
path dan@hrc
send help
send db.serv.shar
You might also consider posting your request on comp.archives, that
being an appropriate place for it.
BTW, did you get my request for information about your archive?

I have a small archive in operation but I'm not on the internet and my system does not allow anon uucp. Reasonable restricted email is the only viable alternative. I have set up special UUCP links on request but they are a problem. Michael H.

I looked at the twwells db.serv.shar, but was not that impressed (sorry). Is there anyone out there that has mail server that would work with Xenix?

I have been running netlib written by Eric Grosse for the last year with no problems. I originally got my copy from uunet (netlib.tar.Z) but have recently retrieved a copy of the source from the research!netlib server which is the home (??) of netlib. To get a copy of the software: mail netlib@research.att.com and include: send netlib source from misc send netlib-paper from misc in the body of the message. While your are at it, add a "send index" as well. :-) I have my USENET sources archiver automatically generate indexes for netlib to use in retieval requests for posted software. I recommend netlib to one and all... :-) -Kent+ ---- Kent Landfield UUCP: kent@ssbell Sterling Software FSG/IMD INTERNET: kent%ssbell@uunet.uu.net 1404 Ft. Crook Rd.

No apologies necessary. It isn't supposed to be impressive, just
servicable. I needed some kind of a server, quickly. I wrote it as a
hack but it is serving me admirably. Its main feature is that it is
all shell scripts: it relies on existing tools and is easily
modifiable. The latter was especially important when I started, since
I didn't quite know what I wanted from a server.
Several thoughts apply here:
1) Why re-invent the wheel?
2) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
3) Everything should be as simple as possible but no simpler.

Rich Salz sent me some server code which one of these days I'll
substitute for my own. After all, the code I have does have some
deficiencies. But in the mean time, my turtle powered, absymally
silly shell scripts will do me fine.
