File Archive Sites: |

UMich (web) |
For many years, the Univeristy of Michigan file archives were the premier Atari archive site. They have a well structured directory tree, but suffer from not having one line file descriptions incorporated into the search tree (descriptions are in the "index" files). Works with CAB. |

UMich (gopher) |
Just another link to the same site described above. Some people have better luck downloading files one way or another (gopher vs. www). CAB users should definitely use the above link rather than this one. |
![{CNAM}](./art/cnam.gif) |
CNAM (web) |
This, the Conservatoire National des Arts et Meacutetiers, seems to be the most quickly updated Atari file site. It has a good interface, unfortunately (for me), most of the file descriptions are in French. Works great with CAB. |
![{CNAM}](./art/cnam_new.gif) |
CNAM's newest stuff (web) |
The newest stuff at CNAM. Once you get most of the software you need, you might just click here once a week or so to see what new stuff is out there. Works great with CAB. |
![{KL}](./art/gopher.gif) |
Uni-KL (gopher) |
The University of Kaiserslautern in Germany has one of the best Atari archives in the world. This is a gopher front end, so don't try it from CAB. |
![{Ber.](./art/ftp.gif) |
TU Berlin (ftp) |
Another large German archive that is frequently updated is at the Technical University of Berlin. This is an ftp site so don't try it with CAB. Use MG-FTP instead. |
![{Hen.}](./art/hensa.gif) |
Hensa (web / gopher) |
The Higher Education National Software Archive demonstrates how file desriptions should be done (in my opinion). Unfortunately, they never carried games, transfer files with gopher, and stopped updating their Atari section May 23, 1996. |
![{LEO}](./art/leo.gif) |
LEO (web?/ ftp) |
The University of Muenchen's "Link Everything Online." Another nice (albeit slow from this end of the world) web interface. Looks like it hasn't been updated since Feb. 20, 1995 though. |
![{Stu}](./art/ftp.gif) |
Stuttgart (ftp) |
This ftp site continues to be updated (as of August 1996). |
![{PB}](./art/ftp.gif) |
Paderborn (ftp) |
This ftp site continues to be updated (as of August 1996). |
Note: I have elected not to list some of the smaller file sites. The complete list of Atari ftp sites is maintained by Hallvard Tangeraas and is
