Here are MOST of all the programs and papers that I have been able to find around the world, but not all (for instance the comp.ai.neural-nets archive and other similar very big and little used archives).
Ftp.funet.fi is the largest FTP archive in the world in all subjects, not just neural nets.
For other interesting AI stuff, see /pub/sci/ai (the new and shiny).
I don't get anything except your happiness for maintaining this archive, so I can't afford to use as much time doing it as I'd like to. Any job offers are welcome.
To use FTP, type at the UNIX or VMS prompt: $ ftp ftp.funet.fi or $ ftp 128.214.6.100 (DANGER: Services are bound on NAMES, not IP numbers!) Here is a simple list of FTP program commands binary - Changes transfer mode to binary (!!!!!) cd directoryname - Changes the current directory get filename - Gets a file get filename local-filename - Gets a file and changes it's name get 00README /dev/tty - Types this file on terminal in UNIX systems mget *.ps.Z - Gets multiple files. Try 'prompt' before this quit - Ends the FTP session Here is an example log of a FTP session Connected to ftp.funet.fi. 220 nic.funet.fi FTP server (Version 4.494 +mea@nic.funet.fi Sat Oct 26 20:53:36 EET 1991) ready.
