-
- I have recently added several items to the archive of Informix-related files
- that I maintain on mathcs.emory.edu. Rather than announce them separately,
- I thought I would post the index file for the "pub" directory.
-
- The first file below is /pub/informix/pub/INDEX, the aforementioned index file.
- The second is my canned blurb about how to access the archive. Note that there
- are other directories besides "pub".
-
- The archive can be accessed directly only via anonymous ftp. However you may
- also use one of the third-party ftp mail servers on the Net to access the
- archive via e-mail. Let me know if you need information on how to do that.
-
- Happy hunting,
-
- Walt.

-
- Index to files and directories in /pub/informix/pub
-
-
- All files are in ASCII unless otherwise noted. Files with names ending in
- ".shar" are shell archive files that should be unpacked under Unix using
- /bin/sh.
-
- Files with names ending in ".msg" are mailing list messages or Usenet articles
- that contain source code. Such code may or may not be included in the message
- text as a shar. These files are duplicated in this directory for convenience
- as the archive manager's time permits. The directories in /pub/informix/list
- should be considered the primary location for these files.

- Anonymous FTP Archive for Informix Files
-
-
- An archive of Informix-related files and selected past messages from the
- Informix mailing list and the Usenet newsgroup comp.databases.informix is
- available for anonymous FTP.
-
- The kind folks at mathcs.emory.edu have allocated a segment of their ~ftp for
- the archive. The system's full domain-style name is emory.mathcs.emory.edu,
- and its IP address is 128.140.2.1. Note that this is not the same system as
- the home of the Informix mailing list.
-
- If you've never used anonymous ftp, here is a quick primer, in the form of a
- sample session, with comments in {}. Lines where you type something are
- marked with "<<<":
-
- % ftp mathcs.emory.edu {or: ftp 128.140.2.1} <<<
- Connected to mathcs.emory.edu.
- 220 emory FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready.
- Name (mathcs.emory.edu:walt): anonymous <<<
- 331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
- Password: walt@rmy.emory.edu {use your name and host here} <<<
- 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
- ftp> cd pub/informix <<<
- 250 CWD command successful.
- ftp> get README <<<
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 226 ASCII Transfer complete.
- .
- . {repeat this step for each file you want}
- .
- ftp> quit <<<
- 221 Goodbye.

-
- There is currently no mail server on mathcs.emory.edu for this archive. You
- must be able to ftp to mathcs.emory.edu to access the archive, or use one of
- the ftp mail servers on the Internet.
-
- The archive is currently organized into the following sub-directories located
- in ~ftp/pub/informix:
-
- das13 A duplicate of selected portions of the archive maintained on
- das13.snide.com. See the file das13/Help or send mail with a
- subject of "help" (w/o quotes) to archive-server@das13.snide.com.
-
- doc General documentation files.
-
- list Selected past messages from the Informix mailing list, including
- articles gatewayed from Usenet comp.databases.informix.
-
- pub Informix-related source code, utilities and other files.
-
-
- The file ~ftp/pub/informix/ls-lR is an ASCII file that contains a full listing
- of the entire archive in a slightly modified "ls -lR" format. To keep this
- file small, individual mailing list message files are not listed. Instead,
- monthly file and character counts are reported.
-
- If you plan to be retrieving many files at one time, please try to do so during
- off-hours. mathcs.emory.edu is located in the Eastern time zone of the USA.
