The atari.archive.umich.edu "Just the 'faqs' faq" - an Umich Atari Posse Product (This is really old and needs to be placed. -JW 26/4/94) (This is now slightly less old. -MB 10/25/94) This faq has been revamped to provide just the "faqs", less talk and more rock. Ready? 1. How the hell do I get to atari.archive? By order of preference: 1. AFS (if you don't know what it is, you don't have it, forget I mentioned it). In /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/atari. 2. Gopher (Other gophers/North America/USA/Michigan/Merit/Software Archives or Popular Gopher Servers/Software Archives at Michigan). 3. FTP - Be sure to check for mirrors that are closer to home. For instance src.doc.ic.ac.uk (/computing/systems/atari/umich) and wuarchive.wustl.edu (/mirrors/archive.umich.edu/atari). 4. Mail - Send mail to atari@atari.archive.umich.edu with "help" in the body to receive the help file. 2. Uploads? You bet we want 'em. Via afs, cp into /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive /atari/New. Via ftp, ftp into atari/New (will not work at mirrors, note this is NOT atari/Newitems, which is not writable). Via gopher, impossible, see mail. By mail, uuencoded chunks to boydm@atari.archive.umich.edu. 3. Sacrifices in our honour? You bet. Small children and farm animals only please. 4. Why the hell do things take so long to get from New to the archive? * Come on, things haven't been that bad lately, have they? 5. I'm completely confused, who can clarify it for me? I'll do my best, boydm@atari.archive.umich.edu.
