Archive access without anonymous ftp, last changed 07 January 1991
To get files from the anti-viral archives, you do not need access
to anonymous ftp. (However, anonymous ftp is the preferred method.)
Below is information on accessing the archive sites using only email.

One way to get access to the archives is through the BITFTP server
at Princeton. Send a message to bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (BITNET
address is BITFTP@PUCC) with the body of the message containing the
single word HELP. This should get you more information, and give
you access to any archive site on the internet. This service seems
to be greatly overloaded, so expect response times to be a little
slow.

You may access the archives at Heriot-Watt using email. Send a
message to info-server@cs.hw.ac.uk with the message text:

If you are in the U.K., then the address is info-server@uk.ac.hw.cs.

Both the AppleII and the Atari ST archives have mail servers which
provide access to their archives. You may receive automatic updates
of Macintosh anti-viral programs via email. See the individual articles
on these sites.

You may also retrieve files from the SIMTEL-20 and the INFO-MAC
archives by using one of the many mail servers which maintain
a shadow archive of these sites. Send the following message to one
of the listserv sites.
