Additional: PUCC does not itself archive the games, but it does run a
mail server with which people who can not ftp are able to
access the archives on ftp only sites.
BITFTP provides a mail interface to the FTP portion
of the IBM TCP/IP product ("FAL") running on the
Princeton VM system, to allow BITNET/NetNorth/EARN users
to ftp files from sites on the Internet.
BITFTP currently accepts requests only via RFC822-format
mail, IBM NOTE-format mail, PROFS-format messages, or
files with no headers at all. BITFTP currently returns
the requested files as NETDATA-format files or as mail files
containing UUENCODED data. If you specify "UUENCODE" or
"NETDATA" on your "FTP" command, BITFTP will attempt to
use that format. If you do not specify the format, BITFTP
will attempt to select the appropriate format for your node.
BITFTP attempts to send NETDATA-format files through the gateway
from EARN into Janet via the NIFTP facility at Rutherford Lab.
To use BITFTP, send mail containing your ftp commands to
"BITFTP@PUCC". The first command to BITFTP must be "FTP"
or "HELP".
The recommended syntax for ftp requests is:
FTP hostname NETDATA --or-- FTP hostname UUENCODE
USER username password
<other ftp subcommands>
QUIT
For more info, send a request with the word "HELP" as the
first word of the mail message to the mail server.

Suggested places to get additional information:
/u3/archive/sources/LISTING
LISTING contains the names of all the programs stored in the
archives, and the sizes. Note: all archives have probably been
stored in compressed form, with 12 bit compression (for machines
that can't handle 16 bit). All multiple file programs have been
stored in seperate directories, then compressed.
More information about the files stored in a particular volume are
kept in files called LOGFILE. Such as:
/u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE
would be the one to get to examine the exact contents of volume 1
of the games section. Additional information from files: sample command
to recover files:
uucp aeras!/u3/archive/sources/games/vol1/LOGFILE /tmp/.
Special note: wild cards have been proven to not be reliable, so
to assure success they are not recommened tools.
