	Archie is a tool used to locate files on the Internet.  Unlike
Exec-PC, where all the files are located in one place, files on the
Internet are located on numerous machines scattered around the world.
This makes it difficult to locate the file you are looking for.
Fortunately, the operators of many of the systems that archive files
have agreed to help maintain lists of what they have on their systems.
There are a little over a dozen archie servers that collect the lists
of files from all the sites.  On this system, we have a program that
automatically makes the connection to an archie server and performs
the query for you.
	There are several different type of searches that can be
performed on archie.  Two of the most common types of searches are
already set up on the menu.  All you need to do is type in what you
want to search for.  For the other types of searches, select the first
option to run archie, and specify which type of search you want as
described below.  Keep in mind that the file lists on archie do NOT
have file descriptions attached to them.  What you are entering is a
string to search for within file names themselves.  If you want a
software package that performs a particular function, but you don't
know the actual name of a package, your best bet is to ask someone who
is more familiar with software of that type, or check out a newsgroup
that deals with that subject.
	The four main types of searches are selected by placing a
letter with a dash in front of it at the beginning of the command you
enter after the menu disappears.  The "s" search, which is probably
used more than any other, performs a case insensitive search for the
string you specify anywhere within a file name.  Thus, if the string
you entered was "jog", archie would match "jogging.txt" and
"letsjog.zip", as an example.  The "e" search will match files only if
their name matches exactly (case sensitive) what you entered.  This
would be a good option to choose if you know the file you are looking
for, but just don't know where to find it.  The "c" search is exactly
the same as the "s" search, except that the search is case sensitive.
And, lastly, the "r" search allows you to give a "regular expression"
as a search string.  Regular expressions are strings made up of
pattern matching constructs.  To find out more about regular
expressions, and how to set up searches with them, check out the
manual page for the "grep" commands by typing "man grep" at the
command line.
	If you have any trouble with archie that you cannot figure out
by reading the help files, please feel free to send a mail message to
help on this system.
