Wow, Archie is still around! | |

I'll make this phlog post short and sweet... Archie was basically the | |
first internet search engine, it searched FTP servers on the internet | |
for files... It's heyday was around the same time as gopher. I was | |
blissfully unaware that anyone still ran a working Archie server, but | |
I stumbled across a working one being run by University of Warsaw's | |
Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling. | |
It is located here: | |
http://archie.icm.edu.pl/archie_eng.html | |
My goal in finding an FTP search engine was attempting to find a | |
server which has the veronica-code directory, which might have the | |
perl source of the original shareware veronica gopher search engine, or | |
the related Maltshop. They were originally located at: | |
ftp://veronica.scs.unr.edu/veronica-code/ (dead server) | |
Unfortunately I didn't have any luck... Oh well. Maybe it will pop-up | |
again someday. | |
