Return of the Caltech Apple II Archive!



The Caltech Apple II Archive is back! I have taken the archive and given
it a new home on my own machine, with the help of EGO Systems (who
graciously donated a copy of their "Shrink II" Macintosh application so I
could use it for file validation and maintenance)... Space on the archive
is no longer at a premium, so the submission rules have changed somewhat
(they're in README.UPLOADS)... Also, a couple of niceties have been added
(one of them being that the server will warn you if it thinks you
uploading _or_ downloading in the wrong transfer mode)...

The archive's new address is "apple2.caltech.edu" (this is an alias which
currently points to my machine, but which will, in the future, follow the
archive around). I am running both an ftp and a gopher server, so either
can be used to access the archive (I don't expect a whole lot of gopher
users, but I figured, hey, it's no extra work on my part :)... WWW access
to the archive may also be available in the future.

Currently, there is a limit of 15 simultaneous users on the server. This
is because, in addition to serving the Apple II Archive, my machine is
also serving RealAudio for the Roxette Home Page, and I want to go easy at
first to see how it handles the extra load. I will increase the limit if I
see that it isn't a problem.

Thanks to everybody who sent me e-mail asking for the archive's return -
that's the main thing that finally convinced me to do it... :) 

Enjoy, and please e-mail any comments/questions/problems to me...
