I need to find some odd sources to port to my FreeBSD box. I have been
trying to use archie, and archie.sura.net is broken, and the other archie
servers seem out of date or don't make good hits.
1. Is there a better way to do searches for unix archives than archie?
Xarchie is pretty good, but rather cumbersome.
2. Anyone have a list of ftp sites that handle unix sources (or the old
comp.sources.unix materials)? I remember there being one that got
posted occasionally, a few years back, but I have not seen one lately.
3. Anyone have the trn sources for FreeBSD? They seem to have been replaced
by tin, but I would like to get trn up if I can, since it seems to require
less keystroking than tin.
Thanks....
