It's on the air.  I haven't announced it yet, well I guess I am now :-)
It'll be moving soon to a different implementation, so I hesitate to
make a big deal.  But if you cannot wait another week, send the message

"help" to "xvstuff@kimba.eng.sun.com" or "...!sun!kimba!xvstuff"

It's basically the same as the xstuff server, but the names of directories
are different.

Here's a copy of the top level index.

Top level index of the XView archive server.  The entries below are
sub-directories.  The contents of these sub-directories can be examined
by sending a message like "send index intro" to the Server.  Each
individual file within one of these sub-directories must be retrieved
with a message like "send trackers Jan22-Jan28.90".

Please note that the actual file names for the archives are
case-sensitive, although the categories are not.  For example, "send
trackers jan22-jan28.90" will fail; however, "send TraCKers
Jan22-Jan28.90" will succeed.

The words enclosed by [] are aliases for the given sub-directory that
the archive server understands.  The names are recognized as <alias>*,
so any characters following the alias will not matter.  For example,
"qa" is equal to "qas" is equal to "qaquack".
