There's an Actor mailing list.
To join the Actor mailing list send mail to actor-request@seq.uncwil.edu
To send a message to the Actor mailing list send to actor@seq.uncwil.edu
There's also a mail server for Actor files. To quote:
From: spell@seq.uncwil.edu (Chris Spell)
Here is the basic instructions:
Send a message to:
actor-mail-server@seq.uncwil.edu
Subject line doesn't matter.
The first line of the message should be:
ACTOR
If you are on bitnet, then next line should be:
PATH username%host.bitnet@vxc.uncwil.edu
Now you can request anything you would like from the archives.
For instance, I would suggest that you get the INDEX file first.
The index file is just a "ls -lR" of the actor directories. You
can do this by adding this line to the message:
send INDEX
After all requests of the server, you should put this line:
exit
The server gets confused when it sees something that it doesn't
understand. It isn't very smart, but it works.
To recap:
Typical message:
To: hp-mail-server@seq.uncwil.edu
Subject: Doesn't matter, it's ignored
ACTOR
send INDEX
send util/enhanc.zip
exit
Oh, two more things. If you want anything from a directory
under the main directory just precede the request by the
directory name as in the example above. Also if you are
requesting a file from a compuserve account you will need to set
the limit to something under 50k. Be sure you add the LIMIT
command before you reqest any files. For example:
LIMIT 40K
If you have anything to submit to the archives, please mail it
to me "spell@seq.uncwil.edu" or if you by chance have FTP then
put it in the actor/Uploads directory.
