I've added an extra directory to the archive server running on ames.arc.nasa.gov. Now, if you miss a status report posting, or you want to read back issues of NASA Headline News, you can! The archive is available via both anonymous ftp and archive-server mail response. Instructions: Anonymous FTP ftp to ames.arc.nasa.gov (128.102.18.3). Cd to pub/SPACE. Get any of the files you want. The file index contains a listing of what's available. Archive-server mail response Send a letter to archive-server@ames.arc.nasa.gov (or to ames!archive-server, or ames::archive-server). As the subject of your message you may send commands like: "send space index" or "send space STS-34.Press-Kit". Send the command "help" for more detailed instructions on how to use the archive-server. File names: Generally files are named by type and date. For example, the Shuttle Status report for this morning would be named ss11.21.89. Common prefixes are "ps" for Payload Status, "h" for NASA Headline News, "r" for Press Release, "ss" for Shuttle Status, "gs" for Galileo Status", "ms" for Magellan Status, "cs" for COBE Status, "la" for Launch Advisory, etc. There are also several other files with more descriptive names. Problems: Send me e-mail if you have problems accessing the archives. Start of Service: I started filling the archive yesterday, so there isn't much there yet. -Peter Yee yee@ames.arc.nasa.gov ames!yee
