We have a new anonymous ftp site at amiga.physik.unizh.ch [130.60.80.80],
located in Zurich, Switzerland. It has many AmigaDOS files and it is the
official Amiga UNIX anon ftp site (although not much is there yet). As a
special feature it creates file lists like the one below from all uploads
that have a special .readme.

Question: Would you like to see weekly posts of below file to either
comp.sys.amiga.announce (moderation delay) or comp.sys.amiga.misc?

Example of /amiga/RECENT:
# Recent uploads on amiga.physik.unizh.ch [130.60.80.80]
# Date: Thu Jan 16 00:48:43 GMT 1992
#
# Only Files with according .readme are listed. Dir is the directory
# within /amiga to where you'll find the file. Age is the age of the
# file in days, size is in K, and description is what follows the Short:
# keyword in the .readme file (must be first line). 7 days included.

How about NEITHER! That would waste an incredible amount of net bandwidth,
and if people really want to they will go to your site and look for
themselves, or they will check a local Archie server.

I'm forced to ask - do you think everyone has InterNet access? Which is
required to use ftp or to "check a local Archie server".

I wish I could go check a local server. It sure would make a lot of things
easier.

Read the comp.sys.amiga.misc FAQ sheet. It describes how you can talk
to archie via email. Of course everyone does not have InterNet access.
My site doesn't. But I wouldn't want to pay for directory listings
to be sent to my site once a week. Start a mailing list if it's really
needed/wanted.
