- To search for a particular object in the archive use the "archie"
- service. If you have internet access you can use a local "archie"
- client if you have one available. Remember to select the archie
- server at archie.vuw.ac.nz. If you don't have a local client you can
- telnet to archie.vuw.ac.nz and log in as user "archie". Having done
- that type "help" for further information.
-
- If you don't have direct internet access you can send mail to
- "archie@archie.vuw.ac.nz" to query the server. A subject or body of
- "help" will give details on how to use this interface.
