This is your friendly neighborhood Vampyre archivist.
I am enclosing the info on the FTP site for you.
It is located at:
ftp.cs.uwindsor.ca
to access it one types
ftp ftp.cs.uwindsor.ca
If one is using the internet, some bitnet accounts allow one to access this.
otherwise there are bitnet servers for FTP, someone with more information,
please explain how these are used.
Once one has connected it asks you to log in- please use "anonymous" to
log in, not "guest" or your own userid, it will then ask for your address
as a password, this information is kept confidential- my boss just requests
it so he can keep track of usage.
Then, you are in the root directory of the machine, at the moment there is
naught else available at this site, though apparently that will shortly
change.
Meanwhile, the following is the routine to reach the section with the files:
cd pub
cd local
cd text
cd vampyres
Underneath this directory are a number of other directories:
Digests Fluff World pics
there is also one file here: Readme
Under Digests can be found old digests of the list from Jae, who will
hopefully soon be uploadingn the full archives to here.
Under Fluff is the old Fluff Archives. One copy of the archives.txt is
available in the next directory. Then all files are sorted into
alphabetical subdirectories.
Under World:
SKT Storylines Digests volumes
There will soon be a Readme file added here, I haven't gotten around to that
yet.
The SKT directory is currently just a bunch of SKT's, eventually I hope to sort
these into 3 directories: Mortals, places, Immortals
these will be self explanatory- files here are stored as:
sktname.authorname
Storylines: all the stories with authors name, broken down into sections
are here. This is to make it possible for one storyline to be followed at a
time. These are title.#.author
Digests: these are the logs that Morgan is sending me each few days
of the discussions on the list.
Volumes are the stories as they went out to the rest of the Vampyres list.
These will shortly be removed once I have the storylines section completed.
I will place in that section a file with a liting of what was in each issue
of Ravenscar Nights.
I hope this is helpful to you, please feel free to enjoy the archives at
your leisure.
