1.008: What other online resources are there?
There are three anonymous ftp archives for the list:
at ftp://ftp.xmission.com /pub/lists/klf
and it's mirrored at ftp://asylum.sf.ca.us /pub/klf and ftp://jumper.mcc.ac.uk /pub/ttl/KLF
Its JAMs-packed with interesting stuff, including a very comprehensive discography, the famed KLF Communications information sheets (15 in all), scanned record covers, many articles and interviews from the music press, press releases, the List's sample identification list, the KLF's book 'The Manual', the screenplay to their partly-completed movie "The White Room" (see 4.003), the script to Neil Kelly's fictional radio play about the end of the KLF, and the complete archive for the old KLF/Orb mailing lists. There's also an increasing number of digitised sound files around, from complete tracks and sound-bites. Find links to them from the list of sites below.
Ask your system administrator how to carry out ftp file transfers, or read the how to ftp FAQ on the usenet newsgroup news.announce.newusers. If your system is not fully on the Internet, or you're not allowed to use ftp, it is still possible to access these files via email. Two addresses which provide FTP by email access are
ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com and ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu
FTP commands should be placed in the body of your message to these addresses. Note that a human will not read your messages, so don't bother putting anything other than FTP commands for the message body. To get a list of available commands and some information about this service, send a mail with 'help' and then 'quit' in the body of the message.
You should place the following FTP Commands in the body of the mail.
Arguments you should specify and explanations are described in < >s.
connect xmission.com
chdir pub\lists\klf\<ETC.> <ONLY one directory per session>
dir <RETURN a listing of the current directory's files>
get <NAME of file you want sent to you>
In general, you should use connect once, followed by a chdir, and if retrieving files, as many gets as you have file requests. Note that some sites limit the number of gets in a single message, usually to 10 or so.
After a while you should get a mail response informing you that your request has been received and is being processed, with a list of what commands you sent, and your place in the job queue. You cannot delete an FTPmail request once sent, so be careful. Nor can you request that only part of a file be sent. Large files will be divided up into equal sized chunks of a set number of characters (except for the last chunk, of course).
There are numerous World Wide Web sites. But space prevents a detailed listing. It's probably best to use a search engine, as there's so many. Most have links to other sites. Some main ones are:
