Snitily) Original-subject: West Coast UUCP X11 Archive Update Archive-site: zok.uucp Reposted-by: emv@math.lsa.umich.edu (Edward Vielmetti) ######################################################################### ################# W e s t C o a s t ################# ################# U U C P X 1 1 A r c h i v e ################# ################# U p d a t e ################# ######################################################################### 23-Aug-90 For those of you without access to the internet, the West Coast UUCP X11 archive on zok provides UUCP users access to everything found on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212). All comp.sources.x articles (from day zero) are also available. The archive is typically updated about once a week. I'm running System V so filenames have to be condensed to a maximum of 14 characters. The dates of the files are kept in correspondence with those on expo.lcs.mit.edu. A current directory listing of what's on expo.lcs.mit.edu (containing the original long filenames) is always located in "zok!/usrX/expo/expo.ls-lR". The recent posting of xview2 posed a problem -- not enough space on the filesystem used for the archive. So, ... the XTEST source code has been temporarily removed until I repartition the disk and increase the size of the filesystem. (If anyone needs the XTEST source in the mean while, email me a note.) Here's information from the "Frequently Asked Questions about X with Answers" on how to connect to zok: A new west-coast UUCP X11 Archive is administered by Mark Snitily (mark@zok.uucp) and contains the full X11R4 distribution, the XTEST distribution, an entire archive of comp.sources.x and other goodies. The machine zok has a TB+ modem which will connect to 19.2K, 2400, 1200 baud (in that order). The anonymous UUCP account is UXarch with password Xgoodies. The modem's phone number is 408-996-8285. A sample Systems (or L.sys) entry might be: zok Any ACU 19200 4089968285 in:--in: UXarch word: Xgoodies To get a current listing of the files that are available, download the file "/usrX/ls-lR.Z". A full subject index of the comp.sources.x files is available in the file "/usrX/comp.sources.x/INDEX". The machine has just the one modem, so please do not fetch large amounts of data at one sitting. [courtesy Mark Snitily, 2/90] By "large amounts of data", what I meant was please don't connect for more than an hour or two at a time. The amount of data, of course, will vary with your baud rate.
