Director FAQ [3] Other Director net.resources

[3.1] FTP sites

Direct-L stalwarts Marvyn Hortman and Jean-Robert Thibault maintain an anonymous ftp site specifically for Director and Direct-L related files, including Lingo samples, tips & tricks, lots of cool movies and a fair selection of XObjects:
    ftp://sharedcast.hccs.cc.tx.us/Director/
    ftp://198.64.7.253/Director/

    login: anonymous
    password: none
The domain name is a recent development and may have propagated a bit unreliably across the net. If you have trouble with it, use the IP number instead.

Jean-Robert also maintains his own ftp site at:

    ftp://sylva.for.ulaval.ca/

    login: anonymous
    password: your email address
which contains some useful Director stuff and also quite a bit of HyperCard material including Jean-Robert's Archivist application.

Quite a lot of material from the sharedcast site is mirrored at

    ftp://pangea.stanford.edu/pub/esmedia/programs/Director
courtesy of Dave Miller, davem@pangea.stanford.edu. This is a UNIX site and Mac files stored on it have been BinHexed for safe transit across different platforms. Transfer rates are also usually pretty quick. If you have trouble ftp-ing from sharedcast this may be the one for you. Dave describes it as a low- to no-maintenance site, so it probably won't always have the most recent uploads on it. If you have problems accessing it, mail Dave direct.

[3.2] WWW servers

Alan Levine, levine@maricopa.edu, maintains an excellent web site dedicated to Director at:
    http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/director/
Which contains lots of useful info, including dozens of tips culled from Direct-L, plus sample movies, associated software and links to other relevant web & ftp sites (including most of those mentioned here and indeed a web version of this very FAQ). It's a subset of Maricopa's Multimedia Authoring page, which contains even more info:
    http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/authoring/
Nick Arnett, narnett@verity.com.com, has set up a site which archives recent Direct-L postings according to subject heading, date or number of replies, allowing you to quickly locate that message you accidentally deleted or scan the last two weeks of postings for relevant info. (Anyone considering a subscription can also see what they're letting themselves in for!)

Paul Farry, p.farry@cqu.edu.au, also has an html version of this FAQ with assorted links and cross-refs at (*** more info to come? ***):
