Africa: Document List, 1995
Any links to other sites in this file from 1996 are not clickable,
given the difficulty in maintaining up-to-date links in old files.
However, we hope they may still provide leads for your research.
Africa: Document List, 1995
Date Distributed (ymd): 960222
The Africa Policy Electronic Distribution List, featuring
short publications by APIC and WOA, as well as selected
reposted documents from other public sources, began formal
operation in January 1995. In October 1995 a web/gopher site
was established as an archive for the documents, at the
address http://www.igc.org/apic/index.shtml. We have also
been seeking a way to supply previously distributed documents
to readers currently having only e-mail access, as is the case
in many African countries and in many non-governmental
organizations which have not yet begun to use web-browsing
software.
One such option we have found is the WebMail server at
University College, Cork, in Ireland. This service provides
text files only from Web pages or Gopher directories, in HTML
and plaintext format, in response to a one-line e-mail message
to [email protected]. The text of the message can take the
following formats (the subject line is irrelevant).
(1) The message "GO [URL]" will bring a reply containing the
HTML original of the selected page/file (or a simple text file
in the case of a Gopher file), plus a formatted copy
without the HTML markup (but UUencoded to avoid garbling
of accents). If you have a Web browser on your personal
computer, but simply lack the full Internet connection,
you can display the HTML file on your local computer.
Otherwise, you can use the formatted version as a plain
text file.
For [URL] substitute the full URL (Uniform Resource Locator)
address that you wish to retrieve (without the brackets).
The URL must be typed exactly, or the retrieval will not work.
Do not type the "quotes" either.
(2) As (1) but using the keyword GET instead of GO. This
retrieves only the HTML file, without the UUencoded formatted
version. This is preferable for Gopher files, such as those
we distribute, since it will give you the plain text without
uudecoding.
(3) The message "HELP" (to the same address) will bring a
reply giving more details about WebMail.
(4) Only one request can be sent in a message; and there is a
limit of 50 requests from a single user in a day. There is a
size limit of files of 64kb. Commands must start in the first
space of the line (do not indent), and you must not attach a
signature file to your message.
NOTE: PLEASE do not use this service (other than to test it
for the purpose of passing on advice to others without Web
access) if you have access to a full Internet connection and
a Web browser. At least one other effort to supply such
services has collapsed apparently due to server overload.
WebMail should be used only for the purpose of increasing
access for those without direct Internet Web capability.
You may retrieve any of the documents we distributed in 1995
(which range in size from 4K to 24K) by using the URL's below.
For example, to obtain the APIC Background Paper on Angola,
distributed in March 1995, you would address an e-mail message
to [email protected] and put the following command in the
text:
get gopher://gopher.igc.org:7040/00/docs95/ang9503
To obtain a list of documents distributed to date in 1996,
with the appropriate URLs, send instead the following message:
get gopher://gopher.igc.org:7040/00/docs96/.sum
