List of currently available sources for anonymous UUCP

What this is ...

These are the instructions for accessing rpp386, a public access source
archive system.  A list of files available for downloading is available
for you to peruse.  After setting up your L.sys file you should request
this file from /usr/spool/uucppublic/archive (~/archive).  Additionally,
you should request that file before any large file transfers.


Setting this up ...

Add the line

rpp386 Any ACU 2400 12142506272 in:--in:--in: anonuucp

to your L.sys file.  You may have to adjust things to get this line to
work.  Send a break to change from 2400 to 1200 baud.  Try logging in
by hand if you have trouble.  The login uuhelp exists for just this
purpose.

Also, if you are planning on using PC-Pursuit, I am located in the TXDAL
exchange.  I strongly suggest you call between 6PM and 4AM central time.


Requesting the transfer ...

The archive listing file will give the location of the files.  All of
the packages are storaged as 16 bit compressed sharchives, except for
compress of course, stored in the subdirectory /usr/archive/.  Do not
attempt to use file wildcards.  Pick up ~/snatch if you are lazy ;-).


Sending floppies ...

If you are interested in downloading a large amount of source, or you
have trouble getting connected, I may be able to mail Xenix formatted
floppies.  Send mail for details.
