   I don't know what you're interested in particular but as long as you
   have access to e-mail you may request files from `list-servers' at
   various places all over the globe.  These are special programs that
   read your e-mailed requests, decode and act upon it.  SUMEX-AIM
   Macintosh archive is mirrored (usually with a 2 week delay) at
   the Rice University. Simply send mail to `listserv@rice.bitnet'
   with the following body (subject-line doesn't matter BUT the comments
   below are NOT to be included in the message):

   info                                 ; general info about the archive
   help                                 ; how to access it
   $macarch get $macarch.contents       ; a list of all the Macintosh files
                                        ; present, matches Sumex-Aim more or
                                        ; less
                                        ; You may also consider sending them
   register FirstName LastName          ; your name for easier decoding

   There are several other, easily accessible, listserv-equipped archives.
   As they tend to be quite specific (rather than general) it is no use
   listing them here. Ask instead about existence of such in same-specific-
   subject groups on Usenet.
