Then you should contact the moderator of wuarchive.  You'll find the
addresses of all the major mirror sites' moderators in the list of
MsDos FTP sites which you are able to obtain from Garbo at least
using the mail server.

Is software available for AmigaDOS to allow me to FTP files to my

I am currently using AmigaUUCP v1.16d.	I have been told, "You are
welcome to connect and FTP files.", from a local archive.  I need soft-

Date: 27 Sep 92 13:59:56 GMT
Organization: Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, lab. INFO

Hello everyone.

I have installed rkive in my account.  I am no root and therefor, do not
know much about our system configuration here at school.  From my machine,
I do not have access to the directories where the nntp files are stored.
Rkive must then work with the nntp server.  My problem is that by default,
rkive ask for the directories of nntp files.  In the man pages of rkive
only the following information is given on how to instruct rkive to work
with the server.

NNTP =         The location of the  NNTP  server  where  the
               articles are to be archived from. This can be
               specified globally if all or most  newsgroups
               are archived from a single NNTP server.

Now, I have configured NNTP like so

 NNTP=132.207.8.48
 and
 NNTP=froh.vlsi.polymtl.ca

What I got is the following message:

NNTP=froh.vlsi.polymtl.ca invalid global assignment, ignoring.

If someone has some experience with rkive and knows the answer, please
respond.

Thanks in advance.

Here it is:

This is from the article "Alternative Newsgroup Hierarchies", posted
periodically by Gene Spafford.  This and his "List of Active
Newsgroups" are indispensible when trying to find newsgroups.  Look for
them in news.lists, news.groups, news.announce.newusers,
news.announce.newgroups, and news.answers.

Note that not all sites carry all groups, especially the alternative
hierarchies.  If you don't see it at your site ask your system
administrator.

In general what you do is as follows:

Say you want to find files to do a zmodem transfer.
Once you are at the archie> prompt, use whatis to find out
specific file names.

EX: whatis zmodem
should return
zmodem
sz
rz

Then you can search for one of these files as by setting up some limits
and starting a search.

Limits:
I usually set maxhits - this stops the search after a certain number
of successful finds occur

EX: set maxhits 20

I sometimes use select exact - for example if you search for sz
your search will also match liszt and other names that have
sz in them.

EX: set select exact

Search for the program:

prog sz

There is also help on all of these functions.

I'm not.  Depending on the mailer, the mail will probably be sent
to a local user named '12345' and to '678@compuserve.com'.  The
CompuServe gateway will reject the second piece and return a help
message with instructions on sending to CompuServe addresses.

What do you expect?  a)  The postmaster doesn't have the address
of everybody on the Internet.  That's not reasonable.  b)  Members
on CompuServe have the _option_ of listing themselves in the public
directory.  If you know a person's name and preferably their rough
geographic location, the postmaster will search the directory for
you.

Is it possible to post a usenet message using regular email?

We have some software that runs on our mail server and uses inews to
post messages to locally scoped groups for our use.  I'd like to move
the software off  the server to reduce the processing load on the

Is there a way I could simply generate email that do what I need?

Or am I asking the right question?

Not true. My sight receives both groups. They are very different.
alt.tv.mst3k gets a much higher traffic.

   I don't really understand your question.  What do you mean by `access'
   and `foreign domain'?  Have you asked your local admin/consult staff?

   Both nuscc.nus.sg and pilot.njin.net are on the internet, and you
   should be able to use the internet protocol (IP) suite for various
   types of access (SMTP, FTP, Telnet).

You'll need "btoa" and "atob" (binary-to-ascii and ascii-to-binary) to
decode this.  It's similar to uuencode/uudecode, but of course it's an
incompatible format.

Where to get it?  Good question.  Ask ARCHIE.

You used FTPMAIL to get this file, no?  FTPMAIL can be told to send in
uuencode format instead of in btoa format.  Send FTPMAIL a mail message
with the "uuencode" keyword to get this to happen.

    reply <<your address>>
    connect <<host>>
    binary
    uuencode
    get <<file>>
    quit

I'd suggest ignoring btoa/atob altogether.  Just re-request the file
you want in uuencode format.

And if only to say you got it for free, ftp to prep.ai.mit.edu (or a
lot of other places, I'm sure, like UUNET or wuarchive).  Why people
would pay eleven dollars for something they could get for free is
beyond me.

And don't say "it's a bound copy in the stores."  It's paperback.
That doesn't count.
