Announcement of PBM ftp site in Holland

From: frits@cp.tn.tudelft.nl (Frits Kuijlman)

Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1993 08:56:21 +0000

Well folks, I decided that is was time for Yet Another Ftp Site.

The contents of this ftp site will mainly consist of info about
pbm and pbem games. I will try to put as much interesting info
here as possible. This site is not intended as an archive of
news from rec.games.pbm. However, I will be archiving the bigger
files like the PBM list and Greg Lindahl's PBEM Fanzine.

At the moment many of the regions I created are almost empty,
but one can always hope for more.

The address is :		ftp.cp.tn.tudelft.nl
Directory :			/pub/pbm
Please send submission to :	pbm-info@cp.tn.tudelft.nl

As you all can guess I created this archive for purely selfish
reasons. I intend to play in the first Legends game I can get into,
so I can use all the information I can get :-)

Below follows the 0README file I put in.

I hope this is of any use,
	Frits

Welcome to the PBM Info ftp region.

This directory contains any info I can get on PBM and PBEM games.
For the time being it will probably mostly information from
rec.games.pbm.

Current setup :
	.		General stuff that doesn't need its own directory
	confirmed	Confirmed information
	ftp.erg.sri.com	Mirror of that site(I hope mirror works :-))
	legends		Anything I can get on Legends
	olympia		Information on Rich Skrenta's Olympia I (not II!)
	pbem.fanzine	Backissues of Greg Lindahl's PBEM Fanzine
	unconfirmed	Unconfirmed information

Now, before you start downloading everything just read the following.

This ftp site is run on a computer that is normally used for other things
than answering ftp requests. (Like reading news and playing nethack :-))
So please don't jump in and blindly download everything. Just browse around
and take the things that interest you.

This especially goes for the Olympia region. Please read the 0README there
also. That directory is HUGE!

A final note, if anybody has some info he wants to share with the rest of
the world (and me!) please mail it to :

pbm-info@cp.tn.tudelft.nl.

For simple announcements it might be better if you post them to
rec.games.pbm, but things like game documentation are welcome here.
(I still have several megabytes to spare).

Enjoy!
	Frits Kuijlman
