Apple Developer Technical Support is proud to offer a new service to the Apple II and Macintosh development communities: Anonymous FTP to an Apple Internet host loaded with the most up-to-date DTS tools and documentation available. FTP is the user interface to the ARPANET standard File Transfer Protocol, and it allows you to transfer files to and from a remote network site. To access and retrieve files from the Apple archive, you should FTP to apple.apple.com (130.43.2.2) using account:anonymous and password:guest. Once you logon, change directories to pub/dts/ (cd pub/dts/) and get the README file (get README) which explains the archive content and structure. If you are unfamiliar with FTP or do not know if you site supports it, use your on-line help or check with your local site administrator. You will always find the most current Technical Notes and Sample Code posted in the dts/ directory, as well as other documents or materials relevant to development on an Apple platform. Look in the help/ directory for a current list of all the archived files (dir-yy-mm-dd) and a list of the most recent additions (recent-yy-mm-dd). The following is a basic outline of the directory structure and the contents of the archive: README - General info about content and structure aii - Apple II information tn - Apple II Technical Notes ftn - Apple II File Type Notes sc - Apple II Sample Code help - Helpful info about these directories dir-YY-MM-DD - Directory of all files in the dts/ directory recent-YY-MM-DD - Directory of all files added within 14 days mac - Macintosh information docs - Macintosh Technical Documentation hacks - Useful, unsupported hacks mpw - Current MPW Interface files q+a - Macintosh Q & A Stack sc - Macintosh Sample Code sys.soft - System Software information tn - Macintosh Technical Notes press - Apple Press Releases Tools and utilities sold by APDA (e.g., ResEdit, etc.) are not available from this archive due to licensing restrictions. In the future, if we can make these sorts of tools available and still please our attorneys, we will. This service is long overdue, and we thank the many volunteers on the networks who maintain other archives and make Apple's tools and documentation available to the masses. If you normally get your files from these other sites, you should be able to continue doing so, as we are working with these people to make sure that their files are updated on a much more timely basis than in the past. This archive site is just a small effort in Apple's attempts to provide our developers with the best tools and developer technical support in the industry, and we are very interested in your feedback. Please send comments and suggestions to us at one of the addresses listed below. Thanks for your suggestions and patience in making this archive site reality. Special thanks to Erik Fair of Apple Engineering Computer Operations; Lance Nakata, Bill Lipa, and Jon Pugh of Info-Mac and SUMEX; and Werner Uhrig of the University of Texas. Mark B.

How about extending the capability to those of us without FTP (Internet) access? Semi-anonymous UUCP would be "like mega awesome, Duuuude!!!" (had to happen, didn't it? Do 'em a favor, they ask for more :-)) Matt Hardin SilentRadio Headquarters, Los Angeles mdh@SR.COM
