---------------------------------------- Wow, Archie is still around! March 21st, 2021 ---------------------------------------- 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. ----------------------------------------
