A FTP site devoted exclusively to Genealogy related files and programs is
available at hallc1.cebaf.gov (129.57.7.19).  This site is primarily for
programs as genealogy text files are available at other sites.  At
present, most of the programs available are MS-DOS programs, but anyone is
invited to submit programs for other platforms (unix, vms, macintosh, ...)
to be archived here.  Since there is a fine archive of genealogy text files
located in the ROOTS-L directory of vm1.nodak.edu, text files will be kept
to a minimum.

The following files have been added recently.

To access these files, ftp to hallc1.cebaf.gov, give anonymous as the
username, and your network address as the password.  All of the genealogy
files are in the subdirectories /genealogy/paf, /genealogy/programs,
/genealogy/text, and /genealogy/utils.

Files that end in ".zip", "lzh" or ".exe" are binary and should be
transferred in binary mode.  Files that end in anything else are probably
text files and should be transferred in ASCII mode.

Binaries will usually be in ZIP format with a file extension of ".zip".  A
self extracting copy of PKware's shareware programs is in the file
"pkz110eu.exe".  Some files are also compressed with lharc having the
ending ".lzh".  The software to unpack those files can be found in the
self extracting archive "lha213.exe".  There are also several files that
end with ".exe".  These are generally self extracting archives

The current listing of files on hallc1.cebaf.gov in the /genealogy
anonymous ftp directory is in the file INDEX also in the /genealogy
directory.

If there is a program that you think should be posted, write me a note
requesting it.  The file AVAILABLE contains a list of files that are
available to me from a local genealogy BBS.  If you would like a file that
is in the AVAILABLE list, just send me a note.  Please make sure that the
file is not already available on hallc1 before requesting it.

This ftp site welcomes uploads.  Files should be transferred to the directory
/genealogy/Uploads.  Please send mail to saw@hallc1.cebaf.gov after uploading
something.  Please include a description of what it is.

Some network users can send and receive mail, but can not use ftp.
(Because they are not directly connected to internet.)  These users can
still retrieve files from hallc1.cebaf.gov (or any anonymous ftp site)
using a ftp mail server at the address ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.  Cliff
Manis has prepared some instructions on how to use this service.  Send
mail to the address LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU, with the following line as the
entire body of the message

get genealog how2dec

And a file with instructions will be mailed back.  If one is on a bitnet
node, use the address LISTSERV@NDSUVM1 instead.

hallc1.cebaf.gov will be shutting down as an anonymous ftp site for
genealogy files in late January 1993.  Arrangements are being made to move
this archive of files to one or more other sites, so there should be no
break in the availability of genealogy programs to the internet community.
