Last-change: 5 October 1998 by [email protected] (Mark D. Baushke)

FTP--------------------------------------

I've seen many inquiries about an anonymous ftp archive for the stories that appear in alt.ql.creative. I maintain an archive on ftp-eng.cisco.com (198.92.30.33) in the directory /ql-archive/alt.ql.creative. All files are currently uncompressed.

MS-DOS users may find it easier to use /ql-archive/dos-aqc which is the same files with the kind of ugly short names that DOS likes.

If you find a story that I've missed, mail it to [email protected] or upload it to /ql-archive/incoming on the archive site.

If you have any contributions to the archive, suggestions, etc. you may also e-mail them to me.

Mail-------------------------------------- For all those unfortunates who don't have Internet ftp access, I am sorry, but unlike the alt.startrek.creative archive, I do not run a mailserver. However, you should be able to use [email protected] to pick up the files. Send an e-mail message to [email protected] with the word "help" as the message body for more information on this service.
