A complete listing of available files is recorded in the file pub/ls-lR.Z
and is updated weekly.

For details of the structure and contents of the VUW CSC archives see
the separate postings in this group.


To search for a particular object in the archive use the "archie"
service.  If you have internet access you can use a local "archie"
client if you have one available.  Remember to select the archie
server at archie.vuw.ac.nz.  If you don't have a local client you can
telnet to archie.vuw.ac.nz and log in as user "archie".  Having done
that type "help" for further information.

If you don't have direct internet access you can send mail to
"archie@archie.vuw.ac.nz" to query the server.  A subject or body of
"help" will give details on how to use this interface.
