-
- The VI-Archive is divided into three parts:
-
- 1. Documents and introductions.
- 2. Comp.Editor disscussions.
- 3. Macros.
-
- Part 1 consist mainly of stuff that is explisit written for VI, but
- you can aslo find Comp.Editors thread in this area. This is
- also the Top-Level area in the VI archives.

- FTP:
- Remeber that those who allow anonymous-ftp are very kind. Please do
- not misuse or abuse YOUR privilegde using anonymous FTP.
- Think twice before fetching, esp if you are a long-distance ftp'er.
-
- If you are going to use FTP, use the site that is the closest to you
- counting NET-VICE. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please
- ask someone who know (ie. your system administrator).
- IF YOU HAVE FTP-ACCESS, DO *NOT* USE THE MAILSERVER. Not even if you
- temporarly cannot reach the ftp-sites.
- The mirroring sites are always updated.
-
- Why YOU shold use the site closest to you NET-VICE:
- - Faster access.
- - Reducing the net load.
- - Keeping the site.
-
- The main archive is in Bergen, Norway, EUROPE.
- alf.uib.no is mirrored thru sites around the world.
- Please use the site closest to you.
- The mirroing sites are ALWAYS updated.
-
- Please do NOT use ftp to the sites during peak hours at the various
- locations. Please respect this or else, if there is too much FTP'ing
- going on prime time to the various places, the ftp site may have to
- shut down. NON OF US WOULD WANT THAT, WOULD WE ?

-
- EMAIL:
- I have built a Tiny Little Mailserver. This mailserver will send files to
- those with NO FTP-access at all.
- The mailservers adress is ruben@uib.no, the same adress wich is in the
- Reply-To: field.
- To get a file from the mailserver put the keyword GET in the subject line.
- Example:
- Subject: GET vi.passwd.Z
-
- To get files in the macro area, put macros/ before the filname.
- Example:
- Subject: GET macros/upcase
-
- The Mailserver will only understand the GET command.
- The Mailserver will send a Controll File for each file requested. The
- controll file will give you status information about your request.
- The mailserver can only handle ONE FILE PER REQUEST. If you want more than
- one file, send several Emails.
- DO NOT request the whole archive! If you request the whole archive I'm
- going to mail your admin about it. If you want the whole archive, request
- a small amounts (max 10) of files everyday.
- Before fetching a file, think: "Do I realy need this file, or is it just
- 'nice to have it' ?"
- All files will be run thru uuencode(1) before mailed, even textfiles.
- If you do not get a reply withing reasonable time, please do not send
- more request about the file(s). The mailserver is probaly down if this
- happends. If the server is down, it will be restarted withing 24 hours.
-
- BEWARE: If the mailserver DOES NOT UNDERSTAND the receiptent-adress,
- no mail will be forwarded. The maintainer does NOT have the
- time to manualy process badly formed adresses.
-
-
- CONTRIBUTION:
- If you have stuff about ex/vi, macros, tips and tricks, plase email it to
- Ruben@uib.no for inclusion in the archive.
