[comp.sys.apollo] ftp site for Apollo source/binaries?

gksmith@rose.uwaterloo.ca (Gary Smith) (02/05/91)

Could some one tell me if there are any sites storing Apollo
binaries and sources that are available via anonymous ftp?

Thanks,
Gary.

This question (and others) is answered in the Apollo Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQ) file, available by ftp from dabo.ifs.umich.edu.  To save you
the trouble of fetching it, I'll answer your question here:  Yes.

We are :-).
Try ftp.eb.ele.tue.nl (131.155.2.25) in /pub/apollo/local

However is you mean "real" apollo stuff. Then I've got to disapoint you.
What is available are the std-binaries of several PD-programs for
the DN3000/4000/4500 series.

There not really handy packed, but our complete /usr/local tree is out there.
This is the index-file of /usr/local/bin:
(Note that you'll find programs which are there, and your ftp tells you that 
 you can read them, But it aborts on really retreiving them. That is intentional
 certain things are not to be given away. {I've twisted on some of the ACL's} )
