Excellence In Software For Over Twenty Years – Only with a Mac

Press Release for 24 Jan 1994

Peter N Lewis announces Anarchie 1.1

Anarchie v1.1.0 is an Archie client and anonymous FTP client for the Mac. It is (IMO) the easiest way for users with MacTCP to fetch a file with a partially known name or to browse around the anonymous FTP archives. It includes a menu listing all the Archie servers, as well as FTP bookmarks for all the popular Macintosh FTP sites (including around 30 mirrors to Umich and Info-Mac).

And as an added bonus, its Apple Scriptable and Recordable, and the scripting allows you to fetch and store files to/from FTP sites, so you can automate all sorts of routine FTP tasks. If you have Frontier, it supports Menu Sharing as well (and comes with a bunch of stuff from Leonard Rosenthol to get you started).

Changes since v1.0.0 are many and varied and include:

Bug fixes:

• Supports dumb FTP servers when using a username&password.
• Fix the "nothing found" problem caused by strange Owner names.

New Features:

• Full support for browsing anonymous FTP archives.
• Finder-like sorting by name, date, size, etc.
• Supports most of the Finder's shortcuts in the listing windows.
• Saveable, double-clickable bookmark files for your favorite sites.
• Supports firewall FTP servers (on any port).
• Automatic MacBinary decoding.
• View selection downloads the document and displays it.
• Balloon Help.
• Logging.
• Fancy new About box with exclusive "newbie-rating".
• and much much more.

Anarchie requires System 7, MacTCP, and is $10 shareware.

Hope you like it, Peter.
