According to Warner Losh: > No wait, Altavista tells me http://www.ludd.se/~kavli/alex.html, but > my network world is busted by sprintlink, so I'm unable to get to that > host. :-(. Alex use FTP as transport level. The version I have is rather old but here is what I get from the README: ------------------------------------------------------------ Alex is a filesystem that lets users access files in FTP sites around the world just like they access local files. The name Alex comes from the ancient Library of Alexandria. Alexandria gathered information from around the world into one easy to access location. Alex does an analogous thing in a very modern way. For more information on Alex check out: /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/doc or /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/www/alex.html There are a number of commands for Alex users. The user mosaic page is /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/user/man-html/alexuser.html and the actual user commands are in /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/user/bin. For a set of symbolic links to interesting places in Alex, check out: /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/links One comment to all users, if you have "." on your path, please have it at the end of your path so you do not run some really nasty "ls" script someplace. The Alex software is sort of shareware. Anyone can set up a server by following the instructions in /alex/edu/cmu/cs/sp/alex/src/README. To encourage people to set up and maintain servers, I do not ask for a donation from people who do this. However, I could really use some money and it would be nice to get some donations to justify continued hacking and support. If you are an end-user of Alex, please express your satisfaction with a donation: send me what you feel Alex has been worth to you.
