Resources Available from MCLI Information Servers

Alan H Levine, MCLI
In order to promote information sharing by computer, MCLI has established two file servers available to District users. We presented the MCLI Public file server in the October 1992 issue of the Labyrinth. You may use the servers to try out new computer programs, to search for new information, or to transfer text, graphics, and software without leaving your desk. The MCLI Information Servers include:

(1) MCLI Public

AppleTalk file server (see the October 1992 Labyrinth). Note that the IBM/PC programs can be copied across the network to a Macintosh computer and transferred to a DOS-formatted disk with the Apple File Exchange program that comes with Apple's System 7.0.

(2) MCLI Gopher

MCLI's Gopher server can be found from the District Gopher Server by the following path:
  /Gopher Space
         /Maricopa Gophers
           /Maricopa Center for Learning and Instruction Gopher
or by using a Gopher client program to connect to the Internet address:
tapeats.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu

The directories on both servers are the same:
