[HECnet] SOLAR:: Mirror status update

[Sampsa Laine]

Just for the lulz, I made a captive account on CHIMPY:: called SLRFIND that uses Lynx to connect to the file search engine.

It works quite well actually.

You're welcome.

I'll keep people posted on any additions to the mirror - if someone knows of other stuff that should be up there, let me know.

Also, SOLAR is running on an emulated Alpha - which at times seems to suffer from a massive drop in network performance - please let me know and I'll bounce the emulator + VM ASAP.

Sampsa,

Thank you for mirroring the Vaxhaven collection on HECNET as well as providing extracted versions.   If you come across ISOs of original DEC CDs that I don   t have posted, I   d appreciate a pointer to them.

Thanks!

Guys, I've finally finished downloading and extracting stuff I think will be a useful resource to HECnet users.

Altogether, there's almost 300 GB of stuff from various source on SOLAR::

As it currently stands, the default FAL directory on SOLAR:: contains:

Directory SOLAR::SYS$SPECIFIC:[DECNET]

FREEWARE.DIR		The Freeware CDs, both ISOs and extracted contents
INCOMING.DIR		Currently empty, feel free to add anything you feel like
VAXHAVENCDS.DIR		The VAXHAVEN CDs, both ISOs and extracted contents

I had to add another drive to the machine to hold the DECUSLIB mirror, so we also have:

Directory SOLAR::DKA100:[DECUSLIB]

DECUS.DIR		Extracted DECUSLIB stuff from www.decuslib.com
ZIPS.DIR;1                           The original ZIP files

These are all mostly accessible via HTTP at http://solar.sampsa.com/files/

There is also a really rudimentary search engine at http://proliant.sampsa.com/cgi-bin/solarfind/solarfind.py
