FTP SITES AND MAIL SERVERS
|
|
|
|
There is no general archive of rec.games.frp postings. However, several
|
|
people maintain public-access archives of interesting and/or generally
|
|
useful material as a courtesy to their fellow netters. In addition to
|
|
archived articles, some of these archive sites offer articles which are
|
|
never posted to rec.games.frp. If you want to find these articles you
|
|
will have to use an archive server of some sort.

|
------------
|
|
|
|
Anonymous FTP archives can be accessed from Unix machines on the
|
|
Internet by typing ftp <address>, where <address> is either an Internet
|
|
address or a routing number. At the "Name:" prompt, type "anonymous"; at
|
|
the "Password:" prompt, type your userid or "guest" (or something
|
|
equally thoughtful). For further information on ftp, check the
|
|
documentation at your site or consult a local guru.
|
|
|
|
Users at non-Internet sites (especially those on BITNET/Netnorth/EARN)
|
|
may want to try the BITNET FTP server at Princeton. To obtain directions
|
|
on the use of the server, send a mail file containing the line
|
|
|
|
HELP
|
|
|
|
to BITFTP@PUCC.BITNET. An alternative is the ftpmail service at
|
|
decwrl.dec.com. Again send a message containing the one line
|
|
|
|
help
|
|
|
|
to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.

Name: eklektik frp archive

|
Address: eklektik.cs.pitt.edu (130.49.2.135)
|
|
Contact: Anthony Kapolka <anthony@cs.pitt.edu>
|
|
Info Updated: 31-May-1991
|
|
Notes: eklektik is once again available as an anonymous ftp site. it
|
|
contains directories with many rec.games.frp postings chosen as
|
|
particularly relevant by Anthony Kapolka, the sysop. Other
|
|
directories of interest include ones for the RQdigest, the
|
|
GURPS digest, Traveller, Champions, and the Mythos Delvers.
|
|
|
|
Name: Tabolport archive
|
|
Address: f.ms.uky.edu (128.163.128.6)]
|
|
Contact: jemearl@ms.uky.edu, jemearl@UKMA.BITNET, !ukma!jemearl
|
|
Info Updated: 1-Feb-1991
|
|
Notes: Jemearl T. Smith maintains an anonymous FTP archive which
|
|
contains material relating to Tabolport, a fantasy city being
|
|
designed cooperatively by the readers of rec.games.frp.
|
|
Look in the pub/tabolport directory.
|
|
|
|
[For the time being, the FTP site at f.ms.uky.edu is only
|
|
available during off-peak hours (6 PM to 8 AM Eastern Time.
|
|
When (if) it returns to all-day operation, I would appreciate
|
|
it if someone would tell me so I can remove this notice.]
|
|
|
|
(Jim Bassman Davenport, who was in charge of the Tabolport
|
|
project, has graduated and no longer has net access. Freeland
|
|
K. Abbott, the semi-official administrator, can be reached at
|
|
fabbott@athena.mit.edu. If anyone has access to Project Athena
|
|
at MIT, Freeland has also put a set of the Tabolport files in
|
|
a publicly-accessible locker named "tabolport".)
|
|
|
|
Name: Navero
|
|
Address: ics.uci.edu
|
|
Info Updated: 15-Aug-1991
|
|
Notes: All issues (including the latest) of the Navero series of
|
|
stories are available in
|
|
/usenet/rec.games.frp/navero. The issues are compressed, so be
|
|
sure to use binary mode to transfer them. In addition, there
|
|
are a few other items in /usenet/rec.games.frp, like an Excel
|
|
AD&D 2nd Edition character generator (written by John Roy
|
|
<roy@ics.uci.edu>) and some postscript character sheets.(Thanks
|
|
to Mark Nagel (nagel@ics.uci.edu) for setting this up.)
|
|
|
|
Archive sites are also set up for the LaTeX versions of the
|
|
Navero saga:

|
|
ftp.cc.gatech.edu pub/frp/navero/navero.tar.Z
|
|

|
|
|
|
ASCII LaTeX files:
|
|
potemkin.cs.pdx.edu pub/frp/stories/navero/tex/.
|
|
|
|
Note: This last site also has copies of EPIC and EEPIC, which
|
|
are needed to creeate some of the graphics contained in the
|
|
files. It is described fully in the readme file.

Name: Universal Simulation Mailing List (usml) ftp site
|
|
Address: topgun.agps.lanl.gov (192.12.184.4)
|
|
Info Updated: 25-Feb-1991
|
|
Notes: Once upon a time, some net.people made a joke about writing a
|
|
program or two that simulated the Universe. Ho ho ho. Pretty
|
|
funny. But other people took them seriously and thus was born
|
|
the short lived mailing list called usml, and thus were written
|
|
a number of programs which simulated various parts of the
|
|
universe. There are subsector generators for Traveller, star
|
|
system generators using several methods, and plate tectonic
|
|
generators to generate random land masses (not very pretty).
|
|

do is send a mail file or BITNET style interactive message to

the HELP command.
