harddisk still refuse to park (the parking light does not light up
on my Preference harddisk). Somebody send me a parking program but
I have accidentally lost it. I am moving soon... somebody please help!
* On the ftp site wuarchive.wustl.edu, why are all the files ends with
.z? How do I retrieve the files? I saw Bouncing Blaster and some
other interesting softwares there that are not in tybalt.caltech.edu,
but I do not know how to retrieve them.
* Does anybody know other interesting ftp site other than the two
mentioned above? Thanks.

The UNIX program "compress" creates .Z files, and "uncompress" 'unpacks' .Z files. So if you're on a UNIX system, it'd most likely be easier to unpack the .Z files on UNIX then download 'em unless you're really concerned about a little more download time. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! unknown@cats.ucsc.edu\ |WANT to help get ULTIMA VI //e or GS written?-mail me.

Thanks. > Any files that end with .Z have been compressed in UNIX with the utility _compress_. To uncompress files _filename_.Z, simply type "uncompress _filename_". You can use the wildcard "uncompress *.Z" to uncompress all files with .Z. compress and uncompress should be on your UNIX system, they're fairly standard. I'm not sure about other computer architectures though (BITNET, DECNET, UUCP, etc.). As for other ftp sites, there are bundles. Try ftp.apple.com, Apple Computer's ftp site. Also plains.nodak.edu and WSMR- SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL. Let me see if I can find the list I had... Oy! It's compressed (.Z)! I'll post it in a sec... brb Kenneth Fair (a.k.a. Mr Toaster) -- Kenneth J.

Those who think I took the original request the wrong way should look again.
"Phone number"? Sounds like "hacker" to me.kenfair@flammulated.rice.edu (Kenneth Jason Fair) (06/04/91)

I don't >know if the UUCP works the same way or not. Ken is right, those are FTP sites. To find the number address of the named sites use nslookup. Sometimes the name does not work with ftp, I think it has to be defined in a database file in your system (I said I THINK ;)). But using ftp with the sites number should always work.
