There are many sites which archive everything from complete copies of all articles posted, to summaries of the more interesting articles, to use- *************** *** 337,344 **** "Minix/doc/Compatibility". There are many more options for having your files compressed (note: most ! files in these directories already have been), uuencoded, split, and so on. !

To obtain more information on ! the server, send the command: help *************** *** 347,357 **** The server accepts commands in mixed case, but all directory/file names are case significant (just like Minix). - A cautionary note: this server is somewhat 'probational'; that is, if it - turns out to be a serious load on our CPU, mailer, postmaster, and network - links then it will be shut down (and then your only alternative will again - be that listserv thing over on our IBM Iron Pig).

The MINIX User Group of Holland's software library is accessable via a mail ! server. To use this server, send a mail message to "info@minixug.hobby.nl" ! with one or more "send" lines like: ! send INDEX ! send cdecl.tar.Z ! This server is run on Minix system! 9.9 Atari ST GNU C Compiler (GCC) A distribution of Minix AtariST gcc and associated libraries and tools --- 526,576 ---- 9.8 MINIX User Group of Holland ! The MINIX User Group Holland (abbreviated to NLMUG) maintains an archive ! of interesting documents, sources, binaries and patches for the MINIX ! operating system. In the future, an archive of all USENET (comp.os.minix) ! articles will be kept as well. ! ! The archive can be used by sending e-mail messages to one of the follow- ! ing addresses. To join the archive send a message to: ! ! Internet: arch-adm@minixug.hobby.nl ! Uucp: ..!hp4nl!hgatenl!minixug!arch-adm ! ! For sending requests, send a message to: ! Internet: archive@minixug.hobby.nl ! Uucp : ..!hp4nl!hgatenl!minixug!archive ! ! The "Uucp" address should be used ONLY if your mailer cannot handle ! internet-style addresses, or if the message bounced back to you. ! ! Since the NLMUG Archive is a (more or less) private archive, we cannot ! afford ourselves to make it an open archive. In Europe, we must pay a ! quarter for every Kbyte of mail being sent out. This means, of course, ! that we want to know who use the archive. It is our goal, to only LOG ! the usage. We don't intend to BILL people for using the archive... ! ! Because of all this, the server looks at the requester's name, and sees ! if it may access the archive. Usually this is OK, but if people start ! misbehaving, they might get locked out. This is mainly the case when ! people have downloaded tuns of stuff, without a single introduction first. ! We do NOT appreciate anonymous file transfers! Therfore, send a short ! message introducing yourself to the Archive Administrator to keep him ! happy. ! ! The Archive Service is actually a program running on a MINIX system. ! It is started once a day by cron(1) to have a look at its mailbox. ! ! To use the archive, you should first send a request to the archive adminis- ! trator (arch-adm) requesting access to the archive. After you have re- ! ceived an acknowledgement of your request, get the server's help file by ! sending a message to the server (archive) saying: ! ! HELP ! and you will be sent details on using the server. !
