Below is a list of all sites to which I post Hunt files.  You can find
the questions there.

LIST OF ARCHIVAL/DISTRIBUTION POINTS FOR THE INTERNET HUNT
==========================================================
These are sites that I send Hunt files to myself.  This
means that all these sites are authoritative.  Many other
sites either copy from or point to these sites.  (Note this
is not only fine with me, but I encourage it.)

Since I have an accounts at CICNet and CNI, I have the
ability to send Hunt files to their final home on these
servers.  This means that these sites are the most current.


GOPHER SITES
============

CICNet Gopher 
-------------
   Found on the list of US Gophers accessible via the
   University of Minnesota Gopher, and others..

   Name=The Internet Hunt
   Type=1
   Port=70
   Path=1/hunt
   Host=gopher.cic.net

...and there are many other gopher servers with pointers to this one.
The InfoSlug at U.Cal. Santa Cruz, for example.

FTP SITES
=========

The Coalition for Networked Information
---------------------------------------
   ftp.cni.org pub/net-guides/i-hunt/
   (look at the README file for info)

CICNet
------
   ftp.cic.net pub/internet-hunt
   (look at about/00readme.txt for info)

SURFNet (European)
------------------
   ftp.nic.surfnet.nl user-support/internet-hunt
   (look at about/00readme.txt for info)

MAILING LISTS
=============
bi-l@bingvmb
cwis-l@wuvmd
kidsnet@vms.cis.pitt.edu
libref-l@kentvm
edtech@msu
nettrain@ubvm
pacs-l@uhupvm1
stumpers-l@crf.cuis.edu

USENET GROUPS
=============
alt.bbs.internet
alt.internet.services

Speed of Access
===============
For those interested in getting their hands on Hunt files as soon as
they're available, (such as the questions), here is a listing of the
above sites, ranked by the speed with which *I* see them appear on the
Nets.

1. gopher at gopher.cic.net (I put the files here myself)
1. ftp at ftp.cic.net (I put the files here myself)
1. ftp at ftp.cni.org (I put the files here myself)
2. cwis-l@wuvmd (unmoderated listserv)
3. ftp at ftp.nic.surfnet.nl (very fast mirror of ftp.cic.net)
4. the other mailing lists
5. the usenet sites

Note depending on your local conditions, configuration,
traffic level, political situation and phase of the moon
(:-), this order may not hold for you.

If you have ftp or gopher, then the CICNet or CNI sites
should be your fastest bet.  If you only have mail, you can
either search the archives of cwis-l (which does not require
subscription), or use an ftp/mail server such as at
BITFTP@PUCC.Princeton.edu or at ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com.
