The archive is still at both of these places, what you need are the files in the disk directory. ftp.orst.edu has a limit on the number of connection and when there is maintenence, they disable logins altogether. The Gravis WWW site is operated by Gravis while ftp.orst.edu is the master Internet site formed by GUS Users on the GUS Mailing Lists which I am still running. The reason the lists was forced to find a new home was because I had the resources and Kean Stump at ORST no longer has the same job in the department so he only has control for the ftp site as non-ORST stuff can't be run anymore when he had a new boss back in June 1995. ftp.orst.edu just took over the original master GUS Archives at ftp.epas.utoronto.ca when it shut down August 1995 and just used the mirror site as the master site. > So my question is does anyone know where this archive might have moved > to?
