Well, some of us have noticed recently that there really isn't any
arpanet archive for atari software since the partial demise of the
score-atari relationship.
Anyway, we have some spare megabytes and are planning to be the
arpanet side of the program archive for atari8 and atari16.
Here's where you arpanet people get to vote...
There are a few questions that should be proposed to public debate:
First and most important: Storage.
FTP can do binary file transfers. This means that uuencoded mail type
messages aren't needed once the data arrive (data happens to be a plural
noun) at my computer. The question is:
Should I uudecode all the stuff that comes in and store it
as binary archive files? Are there people who wouldn't be able to
access the files if I did?
Please, if you are on the arpanet and plan to be fetching any
software via FTP, let me (and the group) know. This is something that
must be hammered out before we have megabytes of data stored.
Thanks,
rodney
