I have recently added several items to the archive of Informix-related files
that I maintain on mathcs.emory.edu.  Rather than announce them separately,
I thought I would post the index file for the "pub" directory.

The first file below is /pub/informix/pub/INDEX, the aforementioned index file.
The second is my canned blurb about how to access the archive.  Note that there
are other directories besides "pub".

The archive can be accessed directly only via anonymous ftp.  However you may
also use one of the third-party ftp mail servers on the Net to access the
archive via e-mail.  Let me know if you need information on how to do that.

Happy hunting,

Walt.

Index to files and directories in /pub/informix/pub


All files are in ASCII unless otherwise noted.  Files with names ending in
".shar" are shell archive files that should be unpacked under Unix using
/bin/sh.

Files with names ending in ".msg" are mailing list messages or Usenet articles
that contain source code.  Such code may or may not be included in the message
text as a shar.  These files are duplicated in this directory for convenience
as the archive manager's time permits.  The directories in /pub/informix/list
should be considered the primary location for these files.

Anonymous FTP Archive for Informix Files


An archive of Informix-related files and selected past messages from the
Informix mailing list and the Usenet newsgroup comp.databases.informix is
available for anonymous FTP.

The kind folks at mathcs.emory.edu have allocated a segment of their ~ftp for
the archive.  The system's full domain-style name is emory.mathcs.emory.edu,
and its IP address is 128.140.2.1.  Note that this is not the same system as
the home of the Informix mailing list.

If you've never used anonymous ftp, here is a quick primer, in the form of a
sample session, with comments in {}.  Lines where you type something are
marked with "<<<":

    % ftp mathcs.emory.edu                         {or: ftp 128.140.2.1}   <<<
    Connected to mathcs.emory.edu.
    220 emory FTP server (SunOS 4.1) ready.
    Name (mathcs.emory.edu:walt): anonymous                                <<<
    331 Guest login ok, send ident as password.
    Password: walt@rmy.emory.edu           {use your name and host here}   <<<
    230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
    ftp> cd pub/informix                                                   <<<
    250 CWD command successful.
    ftp> get README                                                        <<<
    200 PORT command successful.
    226 ASCII Transfer complete.
            .
            .       {repeat this step for each file you want}
            .
    ftp> quit                                                              <<<
    221 Goodbye.

There is currently no mail server on mathcs.emory.edu for this archive.  You
must be able to ftp to mathcs.emory.edu to access the archive, or use one of
the ftp mail servers on the Internet.

The archive is currently organized into the following sub-directories located
in ~ftp/pub/informix:

   das13   A duplicate of selected portions of the archive maintained on
           das13.snide.com.  See the file das13/Help or send mail with a
           subject of "help" (w/o quotes) to archive-server@das13.snide.com.

   doc     General documentation files.

   list    Selected past messages from the Informix mailing list, including
           articles gatewayed from Usenet comp.databases.informix.

   pub     Informix-related source code, utilities and other files.


The file ~ftp/pub/informix/ls-lR is an ASCII file that contains a full listing
of the entire archive in a slightly modified "ls -lR" format.  To keep this
file small, individual mailing list message files are not listed.  Instead,
monthly file and character counts are reported.

If you plan to be retrieving many files at one time, please try to do so during
off-hours.  mathcs.emory.edu is located in the Eastern time zone of the USA.
