NCTUCCCA.edu.tw Anonymous FTP Archives Announcement       Sep. 9, 1992


1. OVERVIEW

     Internet  in Taiwan  (mainly  Taiwan Academic Network,  TANet) is
growing  every month.   There are  a dozen  of  anonymous FTP  servers
around the island,  I believe.  However, almost all of them are  UNIX-
oriented sites, and none with a large collection of PC software.  That
reminds me of the urgent need of a  PC-software-oriented anonymous FTP
site  in Taiwan,  especially  when  our link  to US  has been  heavily
overloaded,  and repeated  transferring  PC software  from some  well-
arrangement  sites,   such  as  SIMTEL20,  garbo,  CICA,  does  occupy
considerable bandwidth.

  1.1. Official Mirror Site of PC MSDOS Archives

       NCTUCCCA.edu.tw (140.111.3.21)  is the official mirror  site of
  PC MSDOS  archives  at  WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil,  Garbo.Uwasa.Fi  and
  Ftp.CICA.Indiana.Edu in Taiwan.  Other mirror sites around the world
  are:

  1.2. Usenet Archives

       NCTUCCCA also make articles  from some newsgroups available via
  anonymous FTP.  In fact, NCTUCCCA is  the only site you can retrieve
  TW hierarchy and  NCTU hierarchy usenet articles  so far, and please
  remember some of the articles are in Chinese BIG5.  You have to view
  them under any BIG5 text viewer, or Chinese system like ETen.

  1.3. Local Collection

       Local  collection  are available  in  /Chinese  and  /NCTU.  In
  /Chinese,   MOE-chinese-pub   is    mirroring   from   moers2.edu.tw
  (140.111.2.22).   In  /NCTU,  only  NCTU  hierarchy  usenet articles
  available.  It is  small now, however, will play a important role in
  the future though.

  1.4. Techreports

       Some techreports are  available at NCTUCCCA.  Most of them  are
  computer-related.  And they are copied from  the original site after
  being announced.

  1.5. Graphics

  pictures and some graphic utilities.
