Re: In Search of a Mapping Utility

[ Note: This isn't really on topic for rec.games.pbm, but I'm
posting it anyways. So there. ]

Ahh, sorry. I guess I should have given more detail. Sumex-aim
is _the_ public Macintosh ftp site. (Well, the Michigan one is
pretty good too). If there is a piece of free software or
shareware for the Mac, Sumex is the place to go. Below is a
list of mirror sites; it's very hard to connect to the actual
site.

Happy downloading!

Info-Mac Archive Mirror Sites (as of 19 Apr 1995)

We ask that you use these mirrors, and NOT SUMEX-AIM, because the load
there now makes it difficult for us to manage the archive! We recommend
that you not use mirror sites that are not on this list, because they are
not in touch with us.

Please contact us at info-mac-request@sumex-aim.stanford.edu if you have
any trouble using any of these sites, find any of this info to be
incorrect, or know of a site not listed here.

Each entry in the list below contains:
  organization, city, [state,] country
    access methods
  updates:days  contents
  [notes about the site]

access methods
   URLs and other methods with instructions for accessing the site
   Not listed for most private mirrors
updates:days
   The number of updates made to the mirror per number of days
   (ie: 1:1 is once a day, 1:14 is once every two weeks)
contents
   RECENT - the site only carries files from the past year or so
   VERY-RECENT - the site only carries files from the past few months
   ALL - the site carries all directories in the archive
   INCLUDES/EXCLUDES - those directories are included/excluded by the site

Sections in this List
  Australia                Netherlands
  Austria                  Singapore
  Canada                   Spain
