This client comes pre-configured with a large list of common archie servers located throughout the world. Users can use these servers to search for any file available in the archie servers' index. Successful results will list the file's path, date, and size. Also, WS Archie can be configured with WS-FTP to automatically retrieve located files on command. WS Archie is now available in both 16- and 32-bit versions; however, the 32-bit version is still in alpha release and does not contain all the features found in the 16-bit release...yet. Pros: Built-in list of archie servers; quick and easy; can work with WS-FTP to retrieve files Cons: Many anonymous FTP sites are not included in most Archie servers' indexes New: Filter using path and matches and retrieve using web browser options added, more Version Reviewed: 3.x - 1.1. 95 - Alpha 96.04.29 Date of Review: 6/2/96 Reviewer: Forrest Stroud apps conference Main Menu
