I apologize for being so busy lately. When one automates a mailing list
to the extent I have, it is easy to ignore it for a while.
There are three ways to get archives:
FTP Archive Site:
All the Traveller Archives (filled Bundles and Packages) are
available via ftp from sunbane.engrg.uwo.ca (129.100.4.12).
A sample session follows (lines that a user would type on
are marked with a "*", and commentary begins with a "#"):
* shell> ftp 129.100.4.12 #begin the ftp session
Connected to 129.100.4.12.
220 sunbane FTP server (SunOS 4.0) ready.
* Name (129.100.4.12:dan):anonymous #prompts for your id, but type
#anonymous for archives
331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
* Password: #type [email removed] here -
#echoing is disabled
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
* ftp> binary #set transfer type to binary
200 Type set to I.
* ftp> cd pub/traveller #chdir to the Traveller area
250 CWD command successful.
* ftp> get bun01.Z #file name assumed to be same on your host
150 Binary data connection for bun01.Z (129.100.4.51,2328)
(20480 bytes).
226 Binary Transfer complete.
local: bun01.Z remote: bun01.Z
20480 bytes received in .34 seconds (59 Kbytes/s)
#repeat get command as desired
* ftp> bye #terminate the ftp session
221 Goodbye.
* shell> uncompress bun01.Z #uncompress the bundle
The files README and TOC provide a brief/detailed summary of the
contents of the archive.
The site is managed solely by the FTP Site Coordinator:
[email removed] (Dan Corrin). The University of Western
Ontario is not responsible for the materials and opinions stored
in the archives.
Automated Archive Service: [email removed]
Mail to this address is read by a program which sends automated
replies. Almost all of the Traveller Mailing List traffic since
September 1, 1989, is available from this program. For more
information, send a message to the address above with the text
"help" (on the subject line or first line of the mail message),
and it will explain to you how to use it. You can reach the
human who administrates this service by mailing to
[email removed], or (in a pinch) to
[email removed] (Josh Levy). In UUCP land use
[email removed], [email removed], or
[email removed], (note the ommission of the letter
"o" in the UUCP format). Archive-server can be replaced with
archive-manager or joshua in all of the addresses.
Human-run Semi-Automated Archive Service:
[email removed] (TML Administrator)
I maintain an archive of every message ever sent to the mailing
list. On a time-available basis, I will recover old articles
for you and resend them to you by direct mail. I can also send
you an Archive Table-of-Contents so you can pick and choose
which messages look interesting.
