This one describes how to submit source to mod.sources, where the archive sites are, and how to contact them. The companion articles lists all previously-published mod.sources articles. I am always looking for suggestions on how to improve the usefulness of mod.sources, and can be contacted as listed below. -Rich Salz --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMITTING SOURCE FOR PUBLICATION Items intended for posting should be sent to mirror!sources; requests for missing copies or other queries should be sent to mirror!sources-request. In Australia, Robert Elz is a "sub-moderator"; people there can work with him (kre@munnari.OZ) to get postings out more easily. If you want verification of arrival, so say in a cover note, or at the beginning of your submission, if it is small. I try to verify that a program works, and if I can't get it to work, I may hold up posting it for a couple of days. Please note that, except in rare cases, source without documentation and a Makefile will not be published. When you send mail, MAKE SURE to include a return address relative to some well-known site(s). When all else fails, my conventional address and phone number are: Rich $alz Mirror Systems 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 617-661-0777 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE STRUCTURE OF MOD.SOURCES ARTICLES Each posting in mod.sources is called an "issue"; there are 100 issues to a volume. The division is arbitrary, and has varied greatly in the past. There are two types of articles in mod.sources; sources and "information postings." They can be distinguished by the subject line: Subject: v07INF8: Index for Volume 7 and other info This first word in the title identifies this as the eight info posting in volume seven. Similarly, the subject line shown below: Subject: v07i071: Public-domain MAKE identifies this as the 71st source article in Volume 7. Large sources are broken up into smaller pieces, and have subject lines that look like this: Subject: v07i043: 2.11 News Documentation and Conversion, Part03/08 The first few lines in an article are auxiliary headers that look like this: Submitted by: caret@fairlight.oz Mod.sources: Volume 7, Issue 71 Archive-name: make The "Submitted by" is the author of the program. If you have comments about the sources published in mod.sources, this is the person to contact. When possible, this address will be in domain form, otherwise it will be a UUCP path relative to host mirror (my machine). The second line repeats the volume/issue information for the aide of NOTES sites and automatic archiving programs. The Archive-name is the "official" name of this source in the archive. Large postings will have names that look like this: Archive-name: patch2/Part01 Please note try to use this name when requesting that sources be mailed to you. Also, note that the "part number" given in the title, and the archive name given in the auxiliary header need not be identical. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACCESSING THE MOD.SOURCES ARCHIVE The complete mod.sources archives are fairly large: Volume Size (Kbytes) 1 4004 2 1204 3 3434 4 4220 5 390 6 4220 7 3976 There are several active archive sites around the net. I am particularly interested in helping set up a BITNET archive. No word yet on the European archive. When you request something before Volume 6, please make sure to be as descriptive as possible as articles before then do not have official names. Several sites below will send tapes through the mail. For those sites, send a 1/2" mag tape WITH RETURN POSTAGE and RETURN MAILER. Tapes without postage or mailer will not be returned. No other methods (COD, etc.) are available; please don't ask. Finally, please note that I am Rich $alz, rs@mirror; Rick Adams is rick@seismo, and Rich Kulawiec is rsk@j.cc.purdue.edu; we appreciate the extra effort to get our names right. :-) 1. Phil Burdi has an archive on-line; contact usenet@cuae2.ATT.COM for more info. He has also set up an off-hours UUCP login providing anonymous UUCP access to the archives. The Systems file (L.sys) entry looks like: (for HoneyDanBer UUCP users) cuaepd Wk1830-0530,Sa,Su ACU 1200 3129643773 in:--in: pduucp (for Old UUCP users) cuaepd Any1830-0530 ACU 1200 3129643773 in:--in: pduucp Retrieve the file cuaepd!~/netnews/mod.sources/howto.snarf and follow the directions therein. 2. Pyramid Technology has an archive arranged topically, and in compressed tar files. They are happy to take new UUCP connections. They are also somewhat willing to make tapes for people to come by and pick up, provided you call WELL in advance and bring lunch money. This is being managed by Claudia Dimmers and/or Carl Gutekunst. Contact pyramid!usenet for more info. 3. Robert Elz (kre@munnari.OZ) keeps mod.sources in different ways depending on his available disk space; contact him for more info. 4. Thos Sumner at UCSF will respond to requests for material, but cannot promise an ongoing commitment. Anyone requesting material via mail should supply a path from ucbvax. Anyone requesting tape should contact me first. Contact him at thos@cca.ucsf.edu, or ucbvax!ucsfcgl!cca.UCSF!thos 5. Tom Patterson at Washington University can make 800/1600/6250 BPI tar tapes. If you give him a "real good reason," he can also make 1600 BPI VMS BACKUP or ANSI tapes. Send your tape, mailer, and postage to Tom at: Engineering Computer Lab, Bryan 509 Lindell & Skinker Blvd Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130 For best results, first send mail to wucs!archive (you stand a better chance of getting processed quickly that way). 6. Jim Thompson (otto!jim) can make 1600 and 6250 tar and cpio tapes, as well as VMS backup in a real pinch. He will also provide a temporary UUCP login for interested parties at 1200 or 2400 baud. His postal address is: Jim Thompson 2551 Green Valley Pkwy Henderson, Nv. 89015 (702) 454-4636 7. Of course, I have a complete set of archives. I can mail individual postings, make files available for UUCP, and will send tapes (1600 BPI tar; 6250 or cpio in a crunch). Last time I checked, it cost about $3 to send a 2400' tape across the country in a padded envelope via first-class mail. 8. Rick Adams (rick@seismo.CSS.GOV) provides archive access to those on the Internet. Access is available directly via anonymous FTP (Outside of 9am-7pm EST M-F.) The files are in a directory mod.sources, then a sub-directory Volume[1-7]. They are named as closely as possible to the names in the Index. Files that have not been assigned a "short name" reside in the directory sources/mod temporarily. Send tape, mailer, and postage to Rick at: Center for Seismic Studies 1300 North 17th Street, Suite 1450 Arlington, VA 22209-3871 9. Internet sites may also retrieve archives from j.cc.purdue.edu via anonymous ftp. The archive is in the directory "mod.sources", subdivided into "volume1", etc. Due to disk space considerations, many of the sources are compressed; these may be recognized by the ".Z" suffix. If you don't have compress & friends, they are in ~ftp/pub/compress.shar for the taking. This is being managed by Rich Kulawiec (Wombat), pucc-j!rsk, rsk@j.cc.purdue.edu. If your host tables don't grok "j.cc.purdue.edu", try "purdue-asc.arpa". They would appreciate it if you would avoid large file transfers in the middle of the day. Rich also points out that the FTP'able archies also contain mod.amiga, a bunch of kermit sources, news 2.11, rn 4.3, nntp, and whatever else happens to be in ~ftp/pub at the moment.] 10. The CSNET CIC has been doing a fair amount of work to bring their automated retrieval up-to-speed. They now have a complete archive, and are making things available as quickly as possible (they have special legal restrictions on what they can distribute, so everything may not be available). Look in the latest issue of the CSNET Forum, or contact postmaster@sh.cs.net.
