===================

A +++ before an entry indicates that the entry is new, or has
been updated, or has changed, since the last Listing.

A --- before an entry indicates that the _prior_ entry
was removed from the list, since the last Listing.

A ??? before an entry indicates that the entry resolves, but
does not connect. The number next to it indicates the first report
from which this problem has been open. A host that does not connect
with 6 months of reported downtime or more will be deleted on the
next report. Please report if this host is working and the tag will
be removed.

The Last updated: date refers to the time this entry in the FAQ was
last updated, not when the site was. **Sites active for long periods
of time may have "old" entries -- interpret this as a mark of
stability.** A site that has not changed its entry in a long time actually
means that it is likely to be more reliable.

IP addresses are included for convenience and may abruptly change
if an ISP revises their address block or people move around. I
include them for the use of simple clients, but when in doubt, use
the name. Please report changes to me to keep this in sync.

===================

This is the list of FTP sites containing software and programs
specific to the Commodore 64 and 128 computers, Vic-20, and
the PET. URL addresses are also listed, for convenience.

The original bi-monthly posting schedule is now in effect, and this
FAQ should appear automatically on the 6th and 20th of each month.

Please, if I'm off base, send E-mail with any corrections and updates. If
you uncover a site not listed, tell me so that it can be added. If a
site has closed or no longer carries CBM software, let me know and it
will be deleted. It is impossible to stay current on a long list, so I
depend on field reports.

I will only list FTP sites here, as there are now large numbers of web
based archives and links to them as well and I don't want to be redundant.
0ld sk00l rUl3z and all that.

=====

To use this list on a UNIX system, just type 'ftp <sitename>', where
<sitename> is any of the Host or FTP sites listed below. Use 'anonymous'
as your login, and your E-mail address for the password. Or, use the
newer and easier, NcFTP. Type NcFTP <sitename>. If you find yourself
at the FTP> or NcFTP> prompts, type OPEN <sitename>. You can change
and list directories with 'cd' and 'dir', respectively, and download
files to your system using 'get'. Be sure to specify either 'binary'
if you are getting a program, or 'ascii' for a text file before you
begin the download.

=====

In addition to the sites listed below, which have CBM software, there
are hundreds of other FTP sites on INet with interesting files covering
every topic imaginable. Take some time to seek out and explore these
other sites and their files too.

These sites are in no particular order, although I am now trying to list
more recent submissions first.
Enjoy!
