I have stored a quite large collection of astronomical programs, documents and data. Some of them are unfortunately in Finnish, but a great part of them are in English. In this material there are many well known program eg. Ephem, Cosmos, Starchart etc. There about 100 programs for MSDOS, about 20 for Mac, and some for Atari, Amiga and old CP/M-micros. Programs are available by anonymous-ftp in funic.funet.fi (or nic.funet.fi) <128.214.6.100> in directory pub/astro and its subdirectories. Check files README and INDEX for further information. The foreign connections to funic is limited up to 16 simultaneous users. The documentation is not completed yet, but I will advertise this archive in near future.
