jcfst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (John C. Fossum) (03/06/91)

     I can't remember the extension for the abcdf...? ftp site. Can
anyone help me out. I need a slideshow program off of a Fred Fish di.
Any quick help would be appreciated.

Timo Salmi also has the fred fish collection at 128.214.6.100 in Finland

If you are looking for fish disks either isca.icaen.uiowa.edu or 
ux1.cso.uiuc.edu are better places to look than ab20.

The correct name is abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov.  You got the address right.

Make that twice.

It has come to my attention via email that ab20... is also valid, but the 
'.larc' section was left out of the post previous to mine. The following
is what I get from nslookup.

Actually, it's ab20.larc.nasa.gov.  I know.  It's my workstation.  :-)

The `cfd' was removed from the name several months ago, but still
works for sites using the DNS because a CNAME (alias) record was
installed to let the old name continue to work. 

Move this to comp.sys.amiga.misc -- comp.sys.amiga is dead.

The site that you are looking for is:


$ host ab20.larc.nasa.gov
ab20.larc.nasa.gov
128.155.23.64
