This release of Prospero includes a standalone client to query archie
|
|
servers at various sites. It is standalone in the sense that, once
|
|
compiled, it does not require Prospero to be installed on the host
|
|
from which it is to be used. To build the archie client, first build
|
|
Prospero (either with or without the compatibility library), then
|
|
connect to the user subdirectory and type make archie. If called with
|
|
just a file name, it will query the archie database for exact matches.
|
|
If executed with no arguments it will display its options.
|
|
|
|
A manual page for this client can be found in the doc/man subdirectory,
|
|
as archie.man.
|
|
|
|
Prospero also allows users to access archie as if it were part of a
|
|
file system. Here is an example of how Prospero can be used to access
|
|
Archie in this manner.
