The latest issue of NeXT on Campus---which is excellent---quotes
Peter Deutsch as saying that they are making a NeXT interface to,
Archie (the ftp server server). How is this project coming along?
Any release date in sight? I'll be glad to beta test for you :-)

If you don't know what Archie is, its a database server that allows
you to locate software stored on internet ftp archives. Do

rlogin quiche.cs.mcgill.ca -l archie

to try it out. Its great! (It needs to be on a faster machine though---a
search seems to take about 10 minutes to go through the whole database.)
