Veronica was available from 1993 to actual date... but the supposed ftp server where it is available is closed (not simply down). The directory where the source code was located was named 'veronica-code' or 'veronica-data'. Archie is more difficult to locate, I think. This was developed in McGill university, CA, and they sell the program in 1993 to Bunyip Information Systems. This company retire the support for the program in 1998, cause of "lack of support and source code" :-) But, until that date, the source code was available in the servers of McGill, in appeareance in archie.cs.mcgill.ca. I've tried in ftp.cs.mcgill.ca, but it requires password for the Anonymous user ! And, about the Archie servers, only one of all the available in the world some years ago is registered... but down actually. I shall agree all the support received.

The places where these code could be obtained in some moment are closed. Someone has some of these available in some place ? I should agree to obtain one copy. thinking 7-10 years since they were last widely used). A bunch of us no doubt have CD's of old Unix programs laying around. I'm not sure where most of mine are at the moment though.
