[ IAFA documents can be obtained by anonymous ftp from archive.cc.mcgill.ca:/pub/iafa URL: <ftp:archive.cc.mcgill.ca//pub/iafa>a ] Hi Y'all- At the IAFA (Internet Anonymous FTP Archives) working group yesterday, a group of archive administrators agreed to work together to help prepare IAFA descriptions for existing packages in the archives. We'll be setting up a mailing list and wais archive, so that we only have to write a description of gnuplot once. We'll be setting up the list and starting cranking out the templates some time next week- all we need now are a few dedicated and rutheless accomplices... If you're interested in helping, please send mail to Peter Deutch (peterd@bunyip.com) or myself (ses@sunsite.unc.edu).

We already have done some work, mostly in the X11 area! It is still the old format! We have a WAIS and gopher server to access the files! And you may even look in the index of our ftp-server for files ending in .idx! The addresses are: GOPHER: ------- Name=IAFA Descriptions - FTP.Informatik.TU-Muenchen.DE Type=7 Port=70 Path=7/.wais-db/ftp-index Host=gopher.informatik.tu-muenchen.de WAIS: ----- (:source :version 3 :ip-address "131.159.0.110" :ip-name "wais.informatik.tu-muenchen.de" :tcp-port 210 :database-name "ftp-index" :cost 0.00 :cost-unit :free :maintainer "stumpf@informatik.tu-muenchen.de" :description "Server created with WAIS release 8 b5 on Aug 19 16:53:13 1992 b y root@dsrbg2" ) anonymous ftp: -------------- ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de Please put me on the mailing-list!
