FTP Archive Sites

The official GNU home is `prep.ai.mit.edu' [18.71.0.38] (problems with prep should be reported to `gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu'). There is currently no room on `prep.ai.mit.edu' to put GNUish MSDOS files up for ftp. If `prep' get more disk space, they might become available. The collection of programs known as the GNUish MSDOS project is still available for ftp at the following addresses. Different archiving sites might use different archivers. The actual extension of any given archive should give you a clue about which archiver to use. [Upload directories are listed for the moderator's convenience only].

The expression from the usual places, later in this document, refers to the three first sites of this list.

• `iros1.iro.umontreal.ca' [132.204.32.21], in `pub/Internet/gnuish'. Archives are uploaded there first.
• `vulcan.phyast.pitt.edu' [130.49.33.16], in `pub/gnuish'. Archives are uploaded in [`incoming'] from the iros1 copy, then Roberto move them to their proper place.
• `wuarchive.wustl.edu' [128.252.135.4], in `systems/msdos/gnuish'. Archives are uploaded in place directly from the iros1 copy.
• `wsmr-simtel20.army.mil' [192.88.110.20], in `pd1:<msdos.gnuish>'. David repacks from `.zoo' to `.arc' before uploading, because SIMTEL20 (which uses TOPS20) does not support `.zoo' files.
• `funic.funet.fi' [128.214.6.100], in `pub/msdos/utilities/gnuish'. Petri automatically gets new products from SIMTEL20, and repacks files from `.arc' to `.lzh'. [`pub/msdos/incoming']

The organization and maintainance of the archive sites is the work of Francois Pinard, Roberto Gomez, Petri Hartoma, David Camp, Keith Petersen, Chris Myers, Dave Curry and Russ Nelson.
