Well, they don"t. They do, though, # contain information that we"d prefer people register for before they # download it. # # The purpose of the "robots.txt" file is to keep these directories # from being indexed so that the average user doesn"t stumble across them # while performing searches, and those that should be accessing these # directories will do so through the URL that requires them to register. # Of course, having the contents of this file advertised in "comp.risks" # diminishes its purpose. Thanks Bertrand. ;-) # # If you do actually go to the trouble of figuring out how to download # the files without registering, what you"ll end up with is 1 or 2MB of # stuff that is meaningless to you unless you have purchased an # Ultra AX board from Sun. So, please do purchase an Ultra AX board, # but then you might as well use the URL you"ll be given along with it. #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Thu Jan 30 16:58:19 PST 1997, Fred Elliott # o Created this file to prevent indexing of one # SME directory.
