- A FTP site devoted exclusively to Genealogy related files and programs is
- available at hallc1.cebaf.gov (129.57.7.19). This site is primarily for
- programs as genealogy text files are available at other sites. At
- present, most of the programs available are MS-DOS programs, but anyone is
- invited to submit programs for other platforms (unix, vms, macintosh, ...)
- to be archived here. Since there is a fine archive of genealogy text files
- located in the ROOTS-L directory of vm1.nodak.edu, text files will be kept
- to a minimum.
-
- The following files have been added recently.

- To access these files, ftp to hallc1.cebaf.gov, give anonymous as the
- username, and your network address as the password. All of the genealogy
- files are in the subdirectories /genealogy/paf, /genealogy/programs,
- /genealogy/text, and /genealogy/utils.
-
- Files that end in ".zip", "lzh" or ".exe" are binary and should be
- transferred in binary mode. Files that end in anything else are probably
- text files and should be transferred in ASCII mode.
-
- Binaries will usually be in ZIP format with a file extension of ".zip". A
- self extracting copy of PKware's shareware programs is in the file
- "pkz110eu.exe". Some files are also compressed with lharc having the
- ending ".lzh". The software to unpack those files can be found in the
- self extracting archive "lha213.exe". There are also several files that
- end with ".exe". These are generally self extracting archives
-
- The current listing of files on hallc1.cebaf.gov in the /genealogy
- anonymous ftp directory is in the file INDEX also in the /genealogy
- directory.
-
- If there is a program that you think should be posted, write me a note
- requesting it. The file AVAILABLE contains a list of files that are
- available to me from a local genealogy BBS. If you would like a file that
- is in the AVAILABLE list, just send me a note. Please make sure that the
- file is not already available on hallc1 before requesting it.
-
- This ftp site welcomes uploads. Files should be transferred to the directory
- /genealogy/Uploads. Please send mail to saw@hallc1.cebaf.gov after uploading
- something. Please include a description of what it is.
-
- Some network users can send and receive mail, but can not use ftp.
- (Because they are not directly connected to internet.) These users can
- still retrieve files from hallc1.cebaf.gov (or any anonymous ftp site)
- using a ftp mail server at the address ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com. Cliff
- Manis has prepared some instructions on how to use this service. Send
- mail to the address LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU, with the following line as the
- entire body of the message
-
- get genealog how2dec
-
- And a file with instructions will be mailed back. If one is on a bitnet
- node, use the address LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 instead.

- hallc1.cebaf.gov will be shutting down as an anonymous ftp site for
- genealogy files in late January 1993. Arrangements are being made to move
- this archive of files to one or more other sites, so there should be no
- break in the availability of genealogy programs to the internet community.
