- Subject: v07INF1: Mod.Sources Index and Archives
- Newsgroups: mod.sources
- Approved: rs@mirror.UUCP
-
- Mod.sources: Volume 7, Info 1
- Archive-name: index.1
-
- Since the last INFO posting, I have decided to remove the archive name
- from the Subject lines. Starting with this volume, each volume will
- have only 100 issues in it. An INFO posting at the mid-point of each
- volume will contain the listing of articles published in that volume
- to date. Each new volume will start with a complete listing of the
- old articles. Because the start of a volume is totally dependant on
- the (err) volume of submissions, I will not be putting an expiration
- date on index listings.
-
- I am always looking for suggestions on how to improve the usefulness
- of mod.sources, and can be contacted as listed below.

- SUBMITTING SOURCE FOR PUBLICATION
-
- Items intended for posting should be sent to mirror!sources; requests
- for missing copies or other queries should be sent to
- mirror!sources-request. In Australia, Robert Elz is a "sub-moderator";
- people there can work with him (kre@munnari.OZ) to get postings out
- more easily.
-
- The backlog is running about seven days. If you want verification
- of arrival, so say in a cover note, or at the beginning of your submission,
- if it is small. I try to verify that a program works, and if I can't
- get it to work, I may hold up posting it for a couple of days. Please
- note that, except in rare cases, source without documentation and a
- Makefile will not be published.
-
- When you send mail, MAKE SURE to include a return address relative to
- some well-known site(s). When all else fails, my conventional address
- and phone number are:
- Rich $alz
- Mirror Systems
- 2067 Massachusetts Avenue
- Cambridge, MA 02140
- 617-661-0777
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ACCESSING THE MOD.SOURCES ARCHIVE
-
- The complete mod.sources archives are fairly large:
- Volume Size (Kbytes)
- 1 4118
- 2 1220
- 3 3459
- 4 4692
- 5 406
- 6 4359
- There are several active archive sites around the net. I am particularly
- interested in helping set up a BITNET archive. Due to delays on my part,
- the European archive is not well set-up yet; look for an announcement
- shortly.
-
- Promised work in canonicalizing the names of all back-issues has not
- been done, and may never get done. Therefore, when you request something
- before Volume 6, please make sure to be as descriptive as possible.
-
- Several sites below will send tapes through the mail. For those sites,
- send a 1/2" mag tape WITH RETURN POSTAGE and RETURN MAILER. Tapes
- without postage or mailer will not be returned. No other methods (COD,
- etc.) are available; please don't ask.
-
- 1. Rick Adams (rick@seismo.CSS.GOV) provides archive access to those on the
- Internet. Access is available directly via anonymous ftp (Outside of
- 9am-7pm EST M-F.) The files are in a directory mod.sources, then a
- sub-directory Volume[1-6]. They are named as closely as possible to the
- names in the Index. Files that have not been assigned a "short name"
- reside in the directory sources/mod temporarily. Send tape, mailer,
- and postage to Rick at:
- Center for Seismic Studies
- 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1450
- Arlington, VA 22209-3871
-
- 2. Internet sites may also retrieve archives from j.cc.purdue.edu via
- anonymous ftp (1800-0800 EST only, please). The archive is in the
- directory mod.sources, subdivided into Volume1, etc. Each
- directory will have a file named Index detailing its contents.
- Chances are that the archive size will grow beyond the available
- disk space; if it does, they will keep the most recent volume(s)
- in the ftp directory, while storing older volumes elsewhere. A
- README file will be created in the directories of misplaced volumes
- with instructions on how to get at sources from those volumes.
- This is being managed by Rich Kulawiec (Wombat), pucc-j!rsk,
- rsk@asc.purdue.edu. People having trouble may want to try FTP'ing
- to purdue-asc.arpa.
-
- 3. The CSNET CIC has been doing a fair amount of work to bring their
- automated retrieval up-to-speed. They now have a complete archive,
- and are making things available as they quickly as possible (they
- have special legal restrictions on what they can distribute, so
- everything may not be available). Look in the latest issue of
- the CSNET Forum, or contact the CSNET CIC at cic@sh.cs.net.
-
- 4. Pyramid Technology has an archive arranged topically, and in compressed
- tar files. They are happy to take new UUCP connections. They are also
- somewhat willing to make tapes for people to come by and pick up,
- provided you call WELL in advance and bring lunch money. This is being
- managed by Claudia Dimmers and/or Carl Gutekunst. Contact
- pyramid!usenet for more info.
-
- 5. Robert Elz (kre@munnari.OZ) keeps mod.sources in different ways
- depending on his available disk space; contact him for more info.
-
- 6. Ron Heiby has an archive on-line, and will soon have "anonymous UUCP"
- access; contact usenet@cuae2.ATT.COM for more info.
-
- 7. Tom Patterson at Washington University can make 800/1600/6250 BPI
- tar tapes. If you give him a "real good reason," he can also make
- 1600 BPI VMS BACKUP or ANSI tapes. Send your tape, mailer, and postage
- to Tom at:
- Engineering Computer Lab, Bryan 509
- Lindell & Skinker Blvd
- Washington University
- St. Louis, MO 63130
- For best results, first send mail to wucs!archive (you stand a better
- chance of getting processed quickly that way).
-
- 8. Jim Thompson (otto!jim) can make 1600 and 6250 tar and cpio tapes,
- as well as VMS backup in a real pinch. He will also provide a
- temporary UUCP login for interested parties (2400 baud expected soon).
- His postal address is:
- Jim Thompson
- 2551 Green Valley Pkwy
- Henderson, Nv. 89015
- (702) 454-4636
- 9. Of course, I have a complete set of archives. I can mail individual
- postings, make files available for UUCP, and will send tapes (1600
- BPI tar; 6250 or cpio in a crunch). Last time I checked, it cost
- about $5 to send a 2400' tape across the country in a padded envelope
- via first-class mail.
