- How can I find an anonymous FTP or email server that has "foo"? (Or, just
- what is "archie" anyway?)

- The question often arises: where can I get "foo" via anonymous FTP (FTP
- is the Internet File Transfer Protocol)?
-
- There is a nice database listing Internet archives; you can access it via
- Telnet. Here's how:
-
- telnet quiche.cs.mcgill.ca
-
- login% archie
- (Lots of introductory messages; use "help" to learn more)
- archie> prog forth
-
- The "prog forth" query lists over 100 Forth things available on various
- FTP sites. I searched the listing for "atari", and found 2 places where
- Forthmacs is available:
-
- watserv1.waterloo.edu /micro/atari-st/forthmac.arc
- terminator.cc.umich.edu /atari/languages/forth.arc
-
- Obviously, you can look for other things besides Forth; I have used archie
- to find all sorts of things.

- Another way to do the search is to send mail to archie@cs.mcgill.ca
- with the word help in the message body or the request prog <what you
- want to look for> in the message body.

- Where can I find programs for Unix that can read .ARC, .ZOO and .ZIP files?

-
- You can find them on SIMTEL20 (WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL) and in the
- SIMTEL20 mirror on wuarchive.wustl.edu. Because the exact file names
- often contain version numbers, I'm not including the file names
- here, only the directory names. Check out 00-index.txt in the
- directories for specific info and what file is what. On SIMTEL-20,
- look in directories:
- PD6:<UNIX-C.ARC-PROGS> (.arc and .zoo)
- PD6:<UNIX-C.FILE-MGMT> (.zip)
- On wuarchive, look in directories:
- /mirrors/unix-c/arc-progs
- /mirrors/unix-c/file-mgmt
-
- If you have email only access, please see the other regularly
- posted message for how to access FTP archives via email.
-
- You might also try using the archie server to find other sites
- that have these programs. (See previous question).
