Monthly Posting: FTP Archive of Informix Files & Articles

Anonymous FTP Archive for Informix Files Last Changed: September 3, 1993 An archive of Informix-related files and past articles from the Informix mailing list and the Usenet newsgroup comp.databases.informix is available for anonymous FTP from mathcs.emory.edu (IP 128.140.2.1). Note that this is not the same system as the home of the Informix mailing list. The top level of the archive is the directory /pub/informix, which contains the following sub-directories: das13 A duplicate of selected portions of the archive maintained on das13.snide.com. doc General documentation files, book lists, events calendars, etc. news Past articles from the Informix mailing list and the Usenet newsgroup comp.databases.informix. Many of these contain source code *not* found in the "pub" or "ugroups" directories. pub Sample source code, utilities, and other files. ugroups Source files, newsletter articles, and other files in collections maintained by various Informix user groups. If you don't have access to FTP, you can still retrieve files from the archive via e-mail using one of the sites on the Internet that provide mail servers for use by anyone who can't FTP. Such a server acts as an intermediary that takes your request by e-mail, gets the files you want via FTP from the site that you specify, then e-mails those files back to you. One of the best known FTP mail servers is based at the DEC Western Research Lab in Palo Alto, CA, USA. For more information, send a message consisting of the word "help" to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com". Then, using those instructions, GET the files "pub/informix/README" and "pub/informix/ls-lR" as a start. If you have something that you think might benefit other Informix users, please consider contributing it. The archive has grown to its current size strictly through the generosity of others, and hopefully it will continue to expand. If you have any questions or comments concerning the archive, let me know.
