The earliest versions of archie simply contacted a list of FTP archives on a regular basis (contacting each roughly once a month, so as not to waste too much resources on the remote servers) and requested a listing. These listings were stored in local files to be searched using the to a server directly; sending queries by Electronic Mail ; and later via World Wide Web interfaces. The name derives from the word "archive", but is also associated with The Comic Book Series Of The Same Name . This was not originally intended, but it certainly acted as the inspiration for the names of Jughead and Veronica , both search systems for the Gopher Protocol , named after other characters from the same comics. The World Wide Web made searching for files much easier, and there are currently no archie servers in operation. SEE ALSO
