Good morning Mister Phelps:
Your mission, should you decide to accept it is to recover the archive
files saved from the USENET Comp.sources.* groups. The wellbeing of
the users of your machine make it imperative that you succeed.
Current informants state that sources.unix, games, and misc are being
held for future generations of hackers.
Target machine: Arete' System 1200
System Statistics:
aeras Any 1200 4089439152 "" "" ogin:--ogin: uugarch word: freebee
aeras Any 19200 4089439246 "" "" ogin:--ogin: uugarch word: freebee
aeras Any 2400 4089439396 "" "" ogin:--ogin: uugarch word: freebee
Suggested places to get additional information:
/u3/archive/sources/LISTING
It has been rumored that the file 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.
Best sources currently state that 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.
Good luck.
As always: should you or anyone of your IM Force be caught, the
secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions or phone number.
This e-mail will self destruct upon typeing 'rm -rf /*' from the root console.
