Date: 11 Jul 1997 14:53:13 GMT Organization: North Carolina State University Lines: 20 Message-ID: <5q5hcp$pdr@uni00nw.unity.ncsu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: seedlab3.cropsci.ncsu.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 unoff BETA 970527; i386 FreeBSD 3.0-970618-SNAP] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:44298 I need to find some odd sources to port to my FreeBSD box. I have been trying to use archie, and archie.sura.net is broken, and the other archie servers seem out of date or don't make good hits. 1. Is there a better way to do searches for unix archives than archie? Xarchie is pretty good, but rather cumbersome. 2. Anyone have a list of ftp sites that handle unix sources (or the old comp.sources.unix materials)? I remember there being one that got posted occasionally, a few years back, but I have not seen one lately. 3. Anyone have the trn sources for FreeBSD? They seem to have been replaced by tin, but I would like to get trn up if I can, since it seems to require less keystroking than tin. Thanks.... Bob Keys rdkeys@seedlab3.cropsci.ncsu.edu
