Xanth (really xanth.cs.odu.edu) is an aged VAX-11/785 running 4.3BSD
UNIX.  It's located in the Computer Science department of Old Dominion
University, in Norfolk, Virginia USA.

There's three main areas of interest to Amiga owners:

	/amiga		-- misc amiga utilities, demos, etc.
	/usenet		-- archives of some moderated code groups, including
			   comp.sources.amiga and comp.binaries.amiga.
	/incoming/amiga -- misc amiga stuff that hasn't moved to /amiga,
			   contributed by users via anonymous ftp

Xanth is accessible via normal anonymous ftp, or via the BITFTP server
(bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu)...
