Does anyone know where the new r.a.a.c archives are, assuming

HTG (I'm back :)
Welcome back.
Greetings. I don't know exactly where the archives are, but there have
been a few posts of late about it.
I can send you those posts...I saved them...Uh..maybe I'll
just tell you :)
**********************Where's the Archive*****************************
Well, jhedge@waterw.com (Jeanne Hedge) sez:
The new moderators moved it to a new archive site. The new submission
guidelines are available in the various FAQs at the new archive site. The
address is:
ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/

Good news, after a few months of uncertainty and occasional fen
grumblings and snipings, raa.creative is back online. There may still
be a few teething problems while my coordinator mailbox is swamped with
delayed submissions, but send them in and we'll work through it.

databank@mindspring.com aka Zen the Heretic clarifies:
Okay... from the intro message that was sent when RAAC came back up, here
is the new archive info...
All fan works posted to the newsgroup will be archived; if you don't
want your work archived, do not post it to raa.creative. The primary
archive for the group is located at
<URL:ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/>
<
Works can be found in directories under there, by series, with the
larger endeavors in directories of their own under the series
directory. In the case of huge crossover works, such as Undocumented
Features, they will be in a directory of their own at the top level of
the archive. Smaller crossovers will probably be stored in one of the
represented series' directory.
Images are in their raw binary format. Text files are stored in gzip
(.gz) format. You can either have the server decompress them for you
while downloading (request the file without the .gz extension), or you
can get a copy of gzip to do so yoursely. See the following web page
for links to gzip for various platforms:
<URL:http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/edmonds/misc/gzip.html>
Zen hopes that will help! ^_^
==============================================
sfarin@shadow.net (Salomon Farin) adds (in case you didnt get it):
They're at ftp.cs.ubc.ca:
<URL:ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archives/anime-fan-works>.
Brian Edmonds is still on vacation, so stories posted during the past
couple of weeks haven't been moved into their appropriate directories.
The introduction to RAAC, or "Welcome to RAAC" file, which has the posting
guidelines is located at:
<URL:http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/edmonds/anime/raac-intro.txt>
Also, if you can't post to the newsgroup, the email address to send
submissions is rec-arts-anime-creative@cs.ubc.ca:
<URL:mailto:rec-arts-anime-creative@cs.ubc.ca>.
Have fun.
================================================
Saloman Farin confesses:
I made a mistake, they're really at ftp.cs.ubc.ca:
<URL:ftp://ftp.cs.ubc.ca/pub/archive/anime-fan-works/>.
Sorry.
***********************Thats all I have**********************************
I apologize if this is more to welcome you back than to give you
information.
Anyway, I hate being an apologist. Welcome back, Harvey. I hope to see
more of your stuff, particularly a certain "X-change" of words.
This is seconded by me...especially since I saw X-Change Part 3
posted on acff by Hawk so I know youre working on it again. So sorry
that the real world had to interfere before.

(who really likes that Gen-X/Ranma x-over. Got her interested in both
Gen X and Ranma... Now that she knows more about both of them, she
understands the fic so much better)
PS Thanks to all you guys who informed the ignorant. I will go check out
that archive when I have more time :)
