Rec.Models.Rockets Frequently Asked Questions: PART 3 OF 14
ROCKETRY ON THE INTERNET
3.1 How do I get to the r.m.r archive site?
The old Sunsite rec.models.rockets archive has not been active since sometime in 1999. The archives are now part of the ibilio.org domain:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/archives/rec.models.rockets
-------------------------------------------------- 3.2 What is available from the r.m.r archive?
The r.mr. archive used to be the 'official' archive site for rocketry-related materials submitted by r.m.r contributors. The archive has been static for the past few years. The archive still has a number of useful files. The following are some of the subdirectories of the archive, and a brief description of what is in them.
ARTICLES - documents. Informative how-to articles, and other text.
BATF - BATF information
CATALOGS - manufacturer catalogs (a few might actually be current)
CYBERROC - various software for rocketry, including VCP
DIGITRAK - a directory for DigiTrak rocket flight modeling software
ELECTRONICS - rocketry electronics
FAA - FAA information
GRAPHICS - pictures of rockets, launches, and people, scale data, logos, etc.
LISTS - certified motor lists, club listings
PLANS - rocket plans, including old kit plans and decal scans
PROGRAMS - rocketry software, including tracking software and propep
PROGRAMS.MAC - rocketry software for the Mac
PROGRAMS1 - more rocketry software
PROGRAMS2 - even more rocketry software
PROGRAMS3 - yet even more rocketry software
PROGRAMS4 - lots more rocketry software - Go Nuts!
R.M.R_POSTINGS - an archive of every r.m.r. posting since late Nov. 1991
RASP - a directory for RASP rocket flight modeling software (PC and Mac)
RMRFAQ - the r.m.r. FAQ
ROCKetCAD - demo CAD software for rockets
SOUNDS - .WAV and Macintosh System 7 sound files of launches
Winroc - a directory for WinRoc rocket flight modeling software
-------------------------------------------------- 3.3 How do I upload files to the r.m.r. archive?
At this time, you can't. This will change soon.
-------------------------------------------------- 3.4 I have read-only access to r.m.r. Is there any way I can still post articles to the newsgroup?
Try http://www.google.com /
-------------------------------------------------- 3.5 What are some neat rocketry web pages to check out?
