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: |

|
|
|
|
|
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. |
