The question often arises: where can I get "foo" via anonymous FTP (FTP
is the Internet File Transfer Protocol)?

There is a nice database listing Internet archives; you can access it via
Telnet.  Here's how:

        ftp quiche.cs.mcgill.ca

        login% archie
        (Lots of introductory messages; use "help" to learn more)
        archie> prog forth

The "prog forth" query lists over 100 Forth things available on various
FTP sites.  I searched the listing for "atari", and found 2 places where
Forthmacs is available:

        watserv1.waterloo.edu  /micro/atari-st/forthmac.arc
        terminator.cc.umich.edu  /atari/languages/forth.arc

Obviously, you can look for other things besides Forth; I have used archie
to find all sorts of things.

(Gary, Doug; perhaps this "archie" information should go in the monthly
announcement).
