ahh@j.cc.purdue.edu (Brent L. Woods) (11/18/87)
For those of you who mailed and asked, your requests have been
answered. A complete index of what is in the binaries archive and
what (I believe) it is follows. As always, if you have any questions,
comments, war stories, etc., please don't be shy about telling us
(I'm sure you won't :-) ).
Also, for those of you who wish to use anonymous ftp to
j.cc.purdue.edu, the path to the binaries directories is:
news/comp/binaries/amiga/volume1 and
news/comp/binaries/amiga/volume2
from the default ftp directory. Also, the files are compressed (12 bits;
an Amiga should be able to handle the uncompression with no trouble) to
save space, so, if you want to avoid corruption during transmission, you
should use "binary" mode in ftp (ftp's help command should tell you what
it is). Hmm... Have I been "overly helpful" enough, yet? :-)
All this fun stuff brought to you by the happpy people who are your
Moderators, but specifically:
