[comp.virus] Archive service at Heriot-Watt

davidf@CS.HW.AC.UK (David.J.Ferbrache) (04/10/90)

Just a quick note to apologise for disruption to the archive service at
Heriot-Watt over the last month. The network core is due to change to a
Sun system from an ageing Vax, in the meantime a re-organisation of archive
service will take place.

Normal service for immediate processing of email will be restored by end May.
The archive contents will be extended to include the following:

1. General document archives (viruses)
2. PC, Mac, Amiga, Atari and Apple 2 anti-viral software
3. Archives of CERT, DDN SC and other advisories
4. Patches for BSD Unix releases
5. Risks digest backissues
6. Virus-l digest backissues

In addition I am considering a protocol for access to more sensitive materials
including backissues of the Zardoz security digest, Phage mailing list
(historical material from the Internet worm period), and other lists.

These will probably be available by restricted NIFTP.

Again apologies for the disruption.
