PAL mirror site in France

PAL mirror site in France

[Richard Conn]

I'm delighted to announce that the PAL now has a mirror site in
France!  Attached are the specifics.  This should make access to the
PAL on a regular basis by our friends in Europe much easier.

Thanks to Stephane and the people working with her for their time and
effort!

The server ftp.cnam.fr (in France) is now a mirror site for the Public
Ada Library.  Its current address is 163.173.128.6 (but this may change).

This mirror site is available to all who want to access the PAL, but it
is particularly useful to those in Europe.  Some statistics on it:

ftp.cnam.fr is a VAX 6000/510 with Ultrix 4.3.  It uses a Renater +
Ebone network with a 2 Mbit/second line.

The /pub directory contains:

total 30
drwxr-xr-x  9 root          512 Sep 23 19:08 .
drwxr-xr-x  7 root          512 Sep 14 08:28 ..
drwxr-xr-x  5 bortz         512 Sep 24 10:02 Ada
drwxr-xr-x  4 root          512 Sep 12 14:26 CNAM
drwxr-xr-x  2 douin         512 Sep 23 19:08 Modulog
drwxr-xr-x  3 bortz         512 Sep 12 14:26 Network
drwxr-xr-x  2 bortz       22528 Sep 18 13:12 Rfc
drwxr-xr-x  3 bouroche      512 Sep 12 14:25 VMS
drwxrwxrwt  4 root          512 Sep 23 19:05 incoming

And the /pub/Ada:

total 7
drwxr-xr-x  5 bortz         512 Sep 24 10:02 .
drwxr-xr-x  9 root          512 Sep 23 19:08 ..
drwxr-xr-x 29 bortz        1024 Sep 12 17:33 AJPO
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bortz          18 Sep 24 10:01 Ada-Ed -PAL/compiler/adaed
drwxr-xr-x  2 bortz         512 Sep 12 14:32 CNAM
drwxr-xr-x 14 bortz         512 Sep 23 19:27 PAL
lrwxr-xr-x  1 bortz           7 Sep 24 10:02 Repository -PAL/ASR

So the complete path to PAL is ftp.cnam.fr:/pub/Ada/PAL.

They mirror it automatically every Monday at 11 am, local time (UT + 1 or
UT + 2, depending on the season).

They use the WU ftp server and log every transfer so they can provide stats.

They also mirror the AJPO host (/pub/Ada/AJPO).

Thanks very much to Stephane and the others working with and supporting her
for this service:
