We hope it will answer some of those nagging questions that always seem to pop up from time to time. If you have any additional suggestions, please mail them to me, at weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu. 1: How do I use BART? Bart (Brode's Archive Retrival Thang) is our mail server. You can get his help file simply by asking for it. Mail atari@atari.archive.umich.edu, and type the word help in the body of the message. Further questions about BART can be mailed to jon@atari.archive.umich.edu, NOT me. 2: How can I connect via FTP? Well, we have an FTP help file too....Again, mail BART and he will send it to you. Try atari@atari.archive.umich.edu and enclose 'send ftphelp' in the body of the message. Further questions about FTP go to me, weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu. 3: What if my machine doesn't support name service? Two things to do here:1) Demand that your sys-admin install it soon, and 2) use the internet address 141.211.164.8 4: I can't download because my hard drive doesn't work and my modem goes out sometimes and .....HELP!!! Sorry, outside of the archive I really can't help you....Your best bet is to find someone at your site with a similar set-up, or post to c.s.a.st for advice. There are a few files that you will find necessary to continued archive usage, namely: archivers/arc602.arc : The latest version of arc archivers/zoo.arc : The classic archive program archivers/compress.zoo : Useful for removing .Z from sounds and binaries archivers/unlzh11.zoo : Unpacks .lzh files Some of the latest uploads: Oct 6 14:20 24bit.arc -> ../utilities/24bit.arc Oct 18 20:18 arcgsh32.zoo -> ../archivers/arcgsh32.zoo Oct 1 19:22 atarimgr.zoo -> ../utilities/atarimgr.zoo Oct 18 20:18 djstuff.arc -> ../printing/djstuff.arc Oct 7 16:00 dvidrvx.zoo -> ../tex/dvidrvx.zoo Oct 18 20:17 firstbas.lzh -> ../applications/firstbas.lzh Oct 3 21:16 gimmicks.lzh -> ../misc/gimmicks.lzh Oct 7 16:01 gnupltx.zoo -> ../graphics/gnupltx.zoo Oct 3 21:13 graphiti.lzh -> ../graphics/graphiti.lzh Oct 15 19:32 life.zoo -> ../games/life.zoo Oct 15 19:32 lifeuniv.arc -> ../games/lifeuniv.arc Oct 1 19:23 mgrdemos.zoo -> ../utilities/mgrdemos.zoo Sep 20 12:53 mint06b.zoo -> ../utilities/mint06b.zoo Sep 20 12:53 mint06s.zoo -> ../utilities/mint06s.zoo Oct 4 23:43 mntlib03.zoo -> ../gnustuff/tos/mntlib03.zoo Oct 7 16:22 pbmchess.arc -> ../games/pbmchess.arc Oct 15 15:34 pfx.zoo -> ../archivers/pfx.zoo Thanks to everyone who has uploaded anything lately..... PLEASE NOTE: FTP and BART service are a privelege, not a right! Please make a supreme effort to keep heavy FTP and BART use in off-time hours (i.e. after 5 pm EST but before 8 am EST). Any ideas, questions, comments, etc. to me, weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu -- weiner@atari.archive.umich.edu "Ted, I fear that strange Bet your ass I'm a wolverine... things are afoot at the CircleK"
