This is an archive transfer project that I started back in
November of 1996 and have been active in the coordination of to make
the entire AOL Apple II archives (which were useful and still
functionable - without duplicates) available to the Apple II
Internet users FREELY - via the Ground Apple II public ftp
site. Arrangements were made with Steve Nelson - ISCA Apple II
Librarian, the Ground site Adm., the staff and Adm. of AOL, with
Rubywand, CJ Redwolf, and several others who have commited to help
with transfering the AOL Apple II archives - along with me. As of
this date - all of the remaining, useful and functional AOL Apple II
archives and files have been transfered and saved.
During the past weekend AOL made some nice changes to the Apple II
forum and archive general area for its service to members. A new and
much improved interface was made.
Keyword (Apple-K) list for accessing it was also changed from the
old: appleii
to the new:
aol://4344:1264.a2main.10029531.514525857
An estimated 251MB's of (useful and still
functionable) archives, files and graphics have been transfered now
and are currently either on the Ground ftp site or stored on media
backup devices for eventual transfer, permanent archive storage and
access to the Ground ftp users.
In the course of the next several weeks, most of these archives will
be evaluated, sorted, tested and then moved to the locations noted
below on Ground. After all the transfers are made to Ground, Steve
Nelson will be moving them all to their permanent locations on the
Ground ftp site. They currently reside in the incoming/AOL
folder.
