These services are pretty much gone. I've determined that Veronica and Jughead are totally defunct for email users. The Archie by email servers are also almost extinct. There are only 3 Archie by email servers left and only 3 gophermail servers. Archie has been moved to the web in the form of the new ArchiePlex web pages. These Archie by email servers have all moved to the web: *WWW web interface* [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://archie.bunyip.com/archie.html [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://www.hensa.ac.uk/search/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://archie.icm.edu.pl/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://archie.switch.ch/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] use http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/ Notice that 3 of them refer you to the FTP search search site. -- Gerry Boyd -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Aug 1999 06:01:17 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics for Sat 7 Aug 1999, posted Sun, 08 Aug 1999 05:00:30 GMT Less than 1 hour [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1-4 hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4-10 hours None More than 10 hours None Response within 4 hours in at least 5 out of 7 recent tests [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: [EMAIL PROTECTED] doesn't reply to .net or .com addresses.

I have already written about it and received a few replies. A good idea is to look for all the English words with SCH, as it charactises German words. How can I search in English directories with *SCH, SCH*, *SCH*? In which directories?

I was interested very much in access to resources of the Internet by e-mail. To receive some information I was subscribed to Accmail discussion List. Unfortunately, it is difficult to me to read in English, and, to my pleasure, I have found, that there is Russian version of the text: Accessing The Internet By Email Guide to Offline Internet Access Version 8.3 - June 1999 Copyright (c) 1999, Gerald E. Boyd For obtaining the file I sent several letters: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: send accmail.ru Message area: empty But Autoresponder instead of the file, necessary to me, persistently sends Help file For G.E.Boyd's E-mail Autoresponder, in which it offers to write for obtaining the file: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: send accmail.ru Message area: empty What do I do wrong?

The file cannot be read, the >first line of which is just like: > >(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0) BinHex is a Macintosh format, similar to UUEncode but will also preserve additional file information, which can be used on a Mac. >How can I restore the original file and read it? On a Mac, use Stuffit Expander, under Windows use Aladdin Expander to decode it. Both are available from <http://www.aladdinsys.com>. The decoded file *might*, however, not be readable under Windows: Text and most graphics and sound formats are cross platform but a Mac executable is useless on a PC.

Hi Alex, This is some parts of faq reply, if you send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] : ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3.1 What if I am seeking answers to medical research questions or treatment advice? For answers to technical research questions, try posing your question to a topic-specific electronic mailing list. For a list of electronic medical discussions and how to subscribe to them, see 1) Medical Forums at: http://kernighan.imc.akh-wien.ac.at/stz/plattner/a.htm 2) MedWeb -Biomedical Internet Resources Web site, for a lengthy list located at: http://www.emory.edu/WHSCL/medweb.html For medical treatment advice on the Web, try visiting Med Help International, a non-profit organization which offers consumer health information and answers to medical questions at: http://www.medhelp.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope this helps, Mohammad ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 8 Aug 1999 11:36:51 -0700 From: "Gerald E.

Not many left. Gophermail is about it unless you can temporarily get full access to the 'net to set up an account through MyDeja (old dejanews.com).
