Sorry if this is a dumb question, but if our site wanted to become an
archive site, holding information, programs, etc, that would be freely
available to the net-world, what are the steps involved ?

Currently we are only a mail site, NOT an FTP site.  Is this a problem ?
Could we just offer fetchfile access or mail access ?

What software is available to help automated mail enquires ?
How do the monthly updates get generated ? etc, etc, etc...

Any help gratefully accepted, a lack of knowledge and understanding
of archive site etiquette fully acknowledged.
