As I come across such papers, I have been building an index using
Prospero.  At the moment I have only about 12 such papers included. I
would be interested in hearing from authors that have made their
papers available by FTP so that I could add them to the index.  If
there is someone that is willing to more actively look for such
papers, I can provide the ability for that person to update the
index.

Prospero makes the set of papers that have been indexed look like they
are on a single file system.  If you would like more information on
Prospero send a message to info-prospero@isi.edu.
