- It is possible. I have the following link in our gopher at CSC.
-
- Name=The Ultimate Bionaut software search (ARCHIE)
- Type=8
- Port=23
- Path=archie
- Host=archie.funet.fi
-
- which opens up a telnet session to the Finnish Archie. I would suggest
- that you choose an archie closer to home if you want to do searches...
- and really telnet sessions ARE NOT the best possible way to interact
- with Archie... get yourself a client.
-
- If you are only interested in molbio software then you might be interested
- in the following options... which are a collection of links I have put
- together... other people have done work (Dan Jacobson, Don gilbert, Dave
- Kristofferson), I only make the links. For example Dan earlier posting about
- macmimic can be found from the software searches.
