I'm looking around for a good ftp site from which I could get a few
games. If anyone knows of one or more, let me know. I have a list
of over a hundred ftp nodes, but it's really a pain to look through them
since I've yet to find a really nice one.
thanks
-If I get enough response, I'll compile a list.

The rest seem to be more or less a subset of sumex. BTW, how does one post or submit for postal there? They have a couple of my games there, but dated versions. Do I just wait and hope someone with the latest versions of my games u/l them? :======:**************************************************************** : ==== :* ** And watching the stars go on at night, ** : === :* Soft Dorothy ** I'd like to see just one of them die.. ** : == :* *****************************************jc** :.=....:****************************************************************

"All" you have to do is send them a binhex of whatever you want to upload through email. You should also include a somewhat detailed summary (about a screenful seems good to me) before the familiar line (which I can't remember right now...) that starts the binhex file. I think their email address is info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu, but you should ftp there and read everything in the /info-mac/help directory to be sure. Unfortunately, it takes them a very long time to get around to posting it, almost 2 months! The only other mac ftp site worth mentioning is rascal.ics.utexas.edu. They are usually as current (if not more) than sumex-aim these days, plus if you send them binhex'ed uploads it doesn't take as long, about 2 weeks. _____________________________________________________________________________ * Mike Gleason 252u3129@fergvax.unl.edu * "Don't you f*ckin' look at me!" -- D.

Unfortunately, it takes them a very >long time to get around to posting it, almost 2 months! My understanding is that they have difficulty making room for *new* items at the moment. I believe that if the original poster (the guy from "Soft Dorothy") were to make it clear in his submissions that this is to *replace* an existing item, it would get in much more quickly. Of course, it nevers hurts to send it to the rascal site (as well as c.b.m). -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu
